As we put the newest edition of the Califor

�Computer Assistants Make Library
Research A Breeze
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Now that the fall semester is well under
way, students will find deadlines for research
papers rapidly approaching. In a few weeks,
procrastinators will flood into the library fran
tically searching for useful information.
However, the stress of these last-minute
searches does not need to be as harried. With
planning and a little aid from the library,
students can make research work much easier.
This semester, the library has implemented
a new program which provides students with
computer assistants. These assistants circu
late among the library’s computer terminals
helping students. The aides can explain how
to maneuver through the numerous databases
and direct students to the proper database for
their subject. Carolyn Batisto, one of the
computer assistants, explained that most stu
dents have limited time for research and need
to get their information as quickly as they
can.
Assistant Holly Korotie said that many
students may feel hesitant toask for their help
wanting “to figure it out for themselves.” She
added that most students have a grasp on the
basics of the system, but that sometimes they
need help directing their search. Batisto said
that the Computer Assistants specifically look
for students who have generated large search
fields. When assistants see this situation,
they know they can help the student by nar
rowing down the subject. By introducing
the student to the use of Boolean strategies,
which combine key search terms, a smaller
and more precise search can be conducted.
The student can save valuable time and get
specifically requested information.
While most students are grateful for the
assistants’ aid, Batisto said the library can
provide additional service which can expe
dite research. Students can set up a private
appointment with a reference librarian to
work only on their research paper. A form
describing the topic, and its due date, is
submitted to the reference librarian who can
prepare to help the student. This personal
ized service can be especially helpful to
students with a difficult topic, or those un
familiar or uncomfortable with library re
search.
Research takes time, but planning can
make the process less painful. Choosing a
quieter library time makes the work easier.
Batisto said that the busiest library times are
noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, early
mornings, or after 8 PM. By avoiding these
hectic hours, students will find more avail
able computers and assistants. While many
students will continue to procrastinate, they
can at least be assured that when they do
begin their research, they can find help at
the library.

YOU NAME IT / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1993
— Issues--------------------------------------------Can We Save Our Beaches?
By Roy Latas
Staff Writer
Students who undergo the rigors of aca
demic life are constantly looking for inex
pensive ways to relax. Free activities usu
ally focus on the enjoyment of nature. A
walk through a park or trip to the beach
provide a break from suburban student life.
However, in our metropolitan area, a trip to
the beach may be hazardous to your health.
The beach closures we experienced dur
ing last year’srainy season are symptomatic
of a problem called non-point source pollu
tion. This problem stems from the small but
constant dripping of motor oil from cars, the
careless dropping of cigarette butts, pet fe
ces, and run-off of fertilizer and insecticides
from the fields of North County. These
pollutants collect in storm drains and dry
river beds awaiting the flush of the winter
rain that will wash this unhealthy mixture to
the beaches. The storm water receives no
treatment at our sewage plants, so the storm
water with its unknown composition of pol
lutants empties into local rivers and la
goons. It passes through the complex storm
water drainage system, eventually draining
into the ocean through pipes that usually sit
directly on the sand.
Controlling all forms of water pollution

was the intent of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
The CWA originated in 1972 with the intent
of making U.S. coastal and inland waters
“fishable and swimmable.” The main focus
of the Clean Water Act was to stop industrial
pollution, and to that end, there has been
The FDA Wants to Take Your
Vitamins Away
C A T k o lic Men,

By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) recently pro
posed a bill, S-784, The Dietary Supple
ment, Health, and Education Act to launch
a counterattack against the FDA’s proposed
regulations that would make high potency
vitamins and minerals available only
through prescription. Sen. Hatch stated the
goal of his bill was, "to make sure that our
system encourages all people to choose
what they want from life. And in order to
choose what they want from life there has to
be that essential respect for the individual
and for the individual’s freedom and inde
pendence to direct his or her own life."
"The FDA frankly believes that they
know best. They know what is good for
you. You can quit thinking for yourselves
substantial progress.
The CWA is currently undergoing re-au
thorization. Every five years, Congress must
evaluate the CWA, yet current conditions
which are the product of the CWA are not
very encouraging. The CWA represents the
only legislation that protects the water, and it
needs to be strengthened during the current
1993-94 congressional session.
Congressman Oberstar has sponsored a
bill (HR-2543) that will create a national plan
to identify non-point pollution sources and
make watershed districts like our Regional
Water Quality Control Board (Region 9),
develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the
impact of on-point source pollution. The bill
allows the pollution problems to be rectified
within a flexible framework allowing the
various parts of the country to respond to the
problems by a means best suited to the area.
Senators Max Baucus and John Chafee
head the the Environment and Public Works
Committee and will be responsible for writ
ing the new Clean Water Act. Norman Minetta
will be writing the House version. You can
show your support by writing to Congress
men Baucus, Chafee and Minetta as well as to
your own representatives, urging them to
support this bill. A short letter or postcard
with a picture of a beach you would like to
protect would send a strong message.
The bill is expected to be voted on in midNovember. The full Clean Water Act will not
be voted on until Spring.
now," said Hatch.
Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw (re
nowned scientists and authors of Life
Extensions who advanced the free radi
cal theory on aging) are also actively
opposing some 2,000pages of new regu
lations the FDA wants to impose on the
health food industry. These are due to go
into effect before year end.
The FDA’s motivation? One reason
given was found in one of their own
reports which states that FDA approval
of vitamins and nutritional supplements
would inhibit the development of pre
scription drugs. You can support Sen.
Hatch’s Bill by writing your Congress
men and Senators urging them to vote for
passage of S-784.

A look into the life of recent grad
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
It’s nine months before you
graduate. Never mind your midterms,
have you sent out your resumes and
filled up your rolodex yet?
Jim Kuhl, CSUSM Class of ’92 and
current Alumni President, sent out over
100 resumes prior to graduating with
an accounting degree. Kuhl began his
job search in 1991 by making contacts
and “getting to know people.”
Kuhl landed one of his top two job
choices just six months after gradua
tion. He is now a tax auditor with The
State Board of Equalization. Kuhl
attributes his success in this rough
marketplace to perserverance.
“I just kept pounding them,” Kuhl
said. He bombarded his new employer
with a dozen follow-up phone calls and
letters.
The most significant activity Kuhl
was involved in was the Accounting
Society. Meeting with community
members and networking with busi
nesses and firms gave him career focus.
“Once I found direction, my job search
was much easier,” said Kuhl.
The competition was tough. Tight
alumni groups like San Diego State
University graduates like to hire their
own. One employer candidly told a
CSUSM graduate, “we tend to hire
SDSU alumni, and I don’t see that
changing.”
Prospective employers tend to be
skeptical about our new univer
sity. “They just do not
know about our
programs,” Kuhl said.
Consequently, Kuhl’s
personal goal as
Alumni President is
to build public
interest in the
university by
organizing communityaimed events.
“Alumni are a natural bridge be
tween the community and the univer
sity,” said Kuhl. “Building community
interest is the most important thing.”
Not that Kuhl would mind generat
ing some financial support for CSUSM
as well. According to Kuhl, universi
ties nationwide obtain 83% of their
budgets from private donations. In
contrast, the California State University
system averages 13% of its budget
coming from private donations. Kuhl
would love to narrow the gap.
Long-term goals for Kuhl include
“keeping people involved with the
development of the university” and
establishing an alumni database so that
“20-30 years from now, we could tap
that resource.”
Today, the economy of California faces its most challenging
times since the Great Depression. This is particularly true in the
days preceding the seemingly inevitable NAFTA agreement. While
numerous variables have affected California’s ability to remain a
leading global competitor, one competitive advantage has always
remained constant: our educated work force.
The CSU system has been instrumental in providing higher
education. We graduate more college students than all other
California institutions of higher learning combined. For the past
several years, we’ve been doing more with less. To sustain any
further budget reductions would undoubtedly threaten our
most valuable competitive advantage.
On November 2,1993, voters will consider Proposi
tion 172, a proposal to make permanent an extra
cents sales tax that was imposed in conjunction with the
State Temporary Tax Increase of 1-1/4% which went
into effect on July 15,1991. This measure was intended
to balance the state budget and solve its temporary budget
crisis, with a 1/2% rollback to be effective July 1,1993. How
ever, the severity and length of the recession were unforeseen by
even the most pessimistic economists. Due to the prolonged reces
sions, Governor Wilson temporarily extended the measure through
the end of the calendar year.
The proceeds of this tax are to be devoted to local public
safety functions. This in turn will offer state policy makers an
opportunity to invest other state revenues in other high priority
areas, particularly higher education.
What difference can a
s
%
2
/
1ales tax increase make? San
Diego imposed its own 1/2% tax increase from January 1,1989,
through February 14,1992. In just over three years, it produced
nearly $400 million in revenue. Statewide, such a program could
generate in excess of $2 billion annually, or approximately 3.5% of
the entire annual State budget.
The CSU system is imperative to the competitive advantage
o f California, which is something all of us have a vested interest in.
This is not an issue impaired by special interest groups, but all who
value the future of our State.
With voter turnout anticipated to be low, your support is
crucial. Let’s all come together and vote YES on 172!

Creeks Get Opposition to Halloween Bash
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
At a university that promotes cultural
diversity, it still may be acceptable to
discriminate against the Greeks. Kappa Chi
Omega, Phi Delta Delta, Teke and Sigma
Phi Delta want to enhance school spirit by
hosting an open Halloween party on campus
in the Dome. Personality conflicts and
stereotypes within the InterClub Council
have tarnished the Greek’s chances for
approval.
The Greeks submitted a proposal to the
Director of Student activities in accordance
with the Interim Alcohol Regulations of
CSUSM pending final approval by the
President’s office. They were prepared to
meet the following criteria:
— To abide by University, federal and
state regulations regarding school alcohol
use and distribution.
—-To ensure the sale or distribution of
alcohol to individuals over 21 years of age.
— To provide a non-alcoholic beverage
alternative.
—To provide food to all in attendance at
the event.
— To accept responsibility for any and all
damages incurred during the activity and to
provide restitution for damages.
— To maintain behavior and activities
appropriate for a University setting.
— To provide personnel to clean up and
restore the facility to its original condition
immediately following the close of the event.
The Greeks are also prepared to fund the
event out of their own budgets. When in
formed that the InterClub Council (ICC) pro
vides supplementary funding for certain
events, the Greeks presented their party pro
posal at the March 9th ICC Meeting.
Shortly after their presentation, the ICC
motioned to deny support to any activity
where alcohol is served. A source within the
Greek organizations said that the ICC “ste
reotyped” the Halloween bash as a "wild beer
party with kegs on every comer.”
The ICC remains strangely silent on the
issue. Matthew McNamara, ICC President,
repeatedly refused to comment on the par
ticulars of the debate. When asked the ICC’s
stance on alcohol-related events he replied, “I
will not answer your questions.”
The Greeks returned to the Director of
Student Activities and met with a different
reception. It is rumored.that the President’s
office hesitated to give its approval to a func-

tion that was rejected by the ICC. Although
Bridget Bailey-Meiers, according to a Greek
source, remains supportive and helpful, new
provisions were added to the Interim Alcohol
Regulations.
The President’s office now claims that the
Dome is not conducive for dancing due to
hazards created when the lights are dimmed.
In addition, the Greeks must hire a school

Interested in Politics? —This
By Elena Weissman
Contributing Writer
Rumor has it that the formation of a
political science organization is under
way. Guess what? It’s true. This
university has reached the stage where
students have a real need for a Political
Science Association (PSA).
At this moment, students are forming
a club to arouse an interest in politics
and campus affairs. We have the full
support of the faculty who are very
enthused about the establishment of this
club. Everyone has an opportunity to
become involved in the planning stages
of the PSA. We will structure this
organization so that it has a life which
lasts long after we have graduated from
CSUSM.
Don’t let the name of the club avert
your interest. It is definitely something
club
p W lT liS e S C O n tW V e rS y
that is open to ALL students. It is for
everyone who is interested in current
events. Your party affiliation, be it
Republican, Democrat; Libertarian or
Green, etc., is not relevant. A variety of
opinions will only make it more interesting.
If you ever wanted to participate in a
discussion about the current state of politics
or felt you would like to express an opinion
but did not feel that you were informed,
then this is the place for you. If your
ambition is to become politically active,
this could be your start.
We will network for job opportunities,
have political debates, learn about institu
tions of higher education, and instill a sense
of community involvement. We look
forward to sponsoring speakers, political
forums and other such activities. We could
impact this university by creating a
campus that will allow students to voice
their concerns and problems with campus
policies.
We aim to provide assistance in the
development of curriculum in the
Political Science Department. It has
been suggested that a student advisory
board to the department be established.
To keep up on the latest developments in
the department, membership in the
Political Science Association would be
invaluable.
The PSA could be the most dynamic
organization on campus, but we cannot
do this without the support of our
students. Get in on the ground floor by
contacting Elena Weissman at 754-1666,
or Barry Walker at (909) 698-6377.
their open Halloween party on campus.
They have resubmitted their proposal to the
President’s office highlighting the fact that
they’ve already secured a dance floor (to
protect the carpet) and are willing to work
with the lighting issue.
A source within the Greek organizations
said that there was a dance party in the
Dome last year. The source wonders if
hazards witnessed last year give credence
to the lighting issue. If so, the organizations
are willing to add new lights under a tarp
and provide extra lighting in the restrooms.
If necessary, the Greeks are prepared to
move the party outside, in the parking lot
under a tent. They will hire security guards
and purchase food, beverages, and alcohol
from the Aztec shops.
The Greeks are also prepared to file a
formal grievance if their party is not ap
proved.

�HOW TO HANDLE MID-SEMESTER ANXIETIES
By Claudine Scott
Staff Writer
Have you been brought down by
mid-semester miseries? Well, before
you become completely overwhelmed
by deadlines and due dates, consider
this: the fact that you’re attending this
university speaks highly of the kind of
person you are. Against all odds,
you’ve managed to remain in school
and are on a path toward a more
enriching life than the trail you’ve left
behind.
If your midterm grades did not meet
your expectations, you’re not alone.
We’re all in this together, so we need to
look to each other for support. Keep in
mind that even though it may carry a
substantial amount of weight, a mid
term is, by no means, a final grade.
There are still ways to rectify any
obstacles in the way of a satisfying
grade. Get phone numbers. That way,
if you should happen to miss a class
you will be able to get the notes you
need. Also, do the group thing.
You will find that studying in groups
is easier than studying alone. You will
be able to enhance social as well as
study skills. In the process, you may
start a network of acquaintances that
will provide mutually beneficial
contacts that may extend beyond your
college years.
Remember that professors look at the
overall efforts of each student through
out the semester. Steadily working in
manageable bits day-by-day requires
courage and tenacity. At times, your
hard work may not seem to be ac
knowledged. Indeed, genius often goes
unrecognized.
Make your efforts known. Take
advantage of your instuctors’ office
hours. Don’t remain one in a sea of
nameless faces in a classroom. Get to
know your instructor and make sure he
or she knows who you are and the
pains you are taking to make certain of
a positive outcome. They are there to
offer assistance if you are having
difficulties with their courses and they
appreciate feedback on their effective
ness. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
You’re paying good money to get your
education, so you may as well use all
resources that are available to you.
There is help, if you need it. While
you’re at it, you may want to check out
the Student Resource Center in room
5205 in the Administration Building.
They offer video and audio tapes, selfhelp materials and a directory, support
groups, study skill info, computer
assistance software, workshops,
program info, community referrals and
many other services.
The sacrifices and hardships that
you encounter now, will only make you
a stronger person. Perseverance will
pay off in whatever your endeavor after
graduation and beyond.

�Too Much Emphasis on Diversity?
^ q v e iin i^ n t w a s i i s
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Our university has dedicated itself to the cultiva
tion of diversity. Every group and individual is
represented at Cal State San Marcos, and the admin
istration is quick to recognize the importance of that
kind of inclusion. The faculty likewise dedicates a
great deal of coursework to issues of
multicultural-ism and appreciating
diversity, as our global awareness
requirements attest.
Many students feel that such
attention to these kinds of issues is
excessive and ultimately distracting
to their true educational goals. The
grousing is subtle but ever present.
Multiculturalism is the educational
trend of the day, but is the student
backlash growing?
The conservative furor over the
nationwide spectre of politically
correct speech codes on college
campuses has not found its way to pastoral
San Marcos. Neither, for the most part, has political
correctness itself. The best thing about the organiza
tional makeup of our school is that clubs promoting
ethnic diversity and party-driven sororities and
fraternities can exist side by side. No view is shut out
and all voices are given an opportunity to be heard.
But are these divergent voices sinking in? For all
the rhetoric about the value of a well-rounded, liberal
education, many college students check in for years
merely to do the necessary time that will help them
get a good job. Multiculturalism is an abstraction to
those who have no interest in
expanding their educational
horizons.
Fortunately, that is not the
usual case amongst the
CSUSM student body. With
an average student age of
29 and a collection of
only juniors and seniors,
we are lucky enough to be
amidst generally mature,
analytical classmates with
open minds: Furthermore, in
a demographically complex
and ever-shifting California,
multiculturalism is not an
administratively imposed intellectual
abstraction but rather a vital, everyday reality.
Tolerating and appreciating cultures other than your
own is the necessary end of education in this commu
nity. That is a reality we hope every student will
come to terms with during their stay.

Alternative Press Offers A Dose of Free Speech
By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
I read my first issue of Plan 9 — that alternative
paper that no one sees, but everyone reads. Plan 9’s
ideology states it is against force and violence of
any sort for any reason. This philosophy is not new
nor radical. "Educate, don’t legislate." I’m all for
that. While Plan 9 is motivated for a number of
reasons, at least it has the right idea.
Ever wonder why major papers and networks
look alike and report the same stories? Some 1,800
newspapers nationwide are owned and controlled
by fewer than 20 conglomerates. San Diego's
Copley Newspapers, in addition to the San Diego
Union-Tribune, own and operate 9 dailies, 36 week
lies and 1 bi-weekly newspaper. The Hearst Corpo
ration owns 12 dailies, 5 weeklies and 14 maga
zines.
Alternative newspapers and media offer quite a
different view of what is painted on this morning’s
headlines or tonight’s evening news.
Waco, for example, was treated quite differently by
the alternative press. The official mainstream media
version painted the portrait of a maniacal cult. The
alternative media gave a story of FBI agents overly
eager to do what was right. Despite pleas from the
Waco compound to bring in the press, the request fell
on deaf ears. The Branch Davidians' First Amendment
rights to free speech and freedom of religion were
ignored. Mainstream media failed to go in and report
their side of the story and failed to interview survivors.
It took Lloyd Bensten several months after an exten
sive official investigation (more tax dollars well spent)
to find out the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire
arms (BATF) lied. The alternative press held this
view right from the beginning, while it failed to get
the attention of the major networks and mainstream
papers.
It is encouraging to see alternative newspapers,
many self-published like Plan 9, Espresso, the Lib
erty Bell, and the Coastal Post in Marin County, dare
to speak their mind. We find too little actual freedom
o f speech going on these days—like an animal on the
brink of extinction. The polished look of the major
media has effectively hypnotized millions of little
brains with its repeat message “be good little sheep.”
Alternative papers offer a dose of free speech, a
commodity which seems to be dwindling right be
fore our eyes.
�Why Yes on 174
Freedom to choose is one of our
nation’s founding principles. Choice in
education is no different. Neither the
California nor U.S. Constitutions state
that your child must attend a public (gov
ernment) school. Parents have the right
to send their child to a school of their
choosing, not the government’s choos
ing. Prop. 174 gives them that choice
without having to pay twice.
Public schools receive funding based
on attendance. Fewer bodies, less fund
ing. Prop. 174 would provide incentive
to make government schools more com
petitive with private schools, ultimately
benefitting the child. The voucher pro
gram in Milwaukee is a huge success
with more parental involvement, better
attendance and marked improvement in
the children’s performance, not to men
tion safer schools. A Cambridge Univer
sity study showed government schools
(K-12) spend approximately $6,000 per
student, twice the amount spent by pri
vate schools. Most of the money ends up
in the pockets of bureaucrats and politi
cians, not in your child’s classroom.
The savings to taxpapyers in the longrun is in excess of $7.6 billion by 2000.
The voucher system would slow down
demand to build more public schools.
California taxpayers cannot be burdened
with more taxes in an economy that is
already the worst in the nation.
In a university such as this, I am told
that appreciation of diversity is a goal. It
is strikingly odd that homogeneity of
education, not diversity of views, is what
proponents of Prop. 174 seek. Govern
ment schools create more government
sheep. Diversity of education would
guarantee that no one view would pre
vail.
Prop. 174, while not the perfect an
swer, since government strings are still
attached, is a step in the right direction.

United States has never taxed its way back
into prosperity. Already plagued by an
effective tax rate of 61% (income tax,
property tax, sales tax etc.), California
taxpayers should not be asked to pay
more. Instead, government should be
made more accountable and less wasteful.
Government should take a lesson from
private enterprise. In a bearish economy
such as this, the private sector is sizing
down, becoming more efficient. So too,
government efficiency and accountability
should be the priority, not raising taxes.
The most recent 1/2 cent sales tax was
unlawfully collected. The State conve
niently forgot to get the required number
of votes. Until three Libertarians took the
matter to court and won, the State had
collected some $300 million dollars of
taxpayer money illegally.
Give the government more of your
money—not a wise idea.

Prop. 172 wants to raise the sales tax
another half cent. 60,000 Jobs have
been lost in San Diego County alone
because of the state of the economy.
High taxes, over-regulation and an
excessive government waste and
corruption are to blame. Californians
cannot afford another tax. Every halfcent sales tax increase started as an
emergency. In time, politicians always
found excuses to make these temporary
"emergency" taxes a permanent fixture.
Taxes have never produced the
intended results. Tax money spent on
welfare only increased the amount of
welfare recipients. Tax money spent
fighting the war on drugs has neither
diminished the supply nor the demand

�Disenchanted Moviegoers Tend to Stay at Home
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
Theater chains pull good movies in favor of running
poor movies. Such management decisions ultimately
alienate discerning patrons who choose to seek alternatives
at their local video stores. It would seem that the upper
echelon management of these big chains isn’t interested in
maintaining an audience of discerning viewers. They run
movies which have the strongest public appeal, a simple
case of supply and demand. If longer-running movies lack
any artistic merit, management will tell you that the public
has been to blame for not patronizing the better movies.
These big chains play games with their movies, similar to
the ratings games which T.V. broadcasting companies have
been playing with viewers for years.
Increasingly, the declining ambience of these theaters
has begun to alienate demanding viewers also. For
example, one might naively think exorbitant box office
prices would ensure a respite from invasive commercials,
but often viewers are bombarded with a cavalcade of local
advertisement which flash on the screen long before the
feature begins. Theater owners will tell you that they
barely can make ends meet, and that they need the added
revenue from these local advertisers to grease their wheels.
Demanding suburban viewers may hate the way the
size of their viewing screen has decreased with the
completion of each new theater complex. Some of these
viewers remember a time when they could escape their
weekly worries by watching a feature on a sweeping,
panoramic screen. In justifying the reduced size of their
theater screens, large theater chains point to the high cost
of real estate which has forced them to optimize their
space; smaller screens enable them to run their movies
simultaneously, increasing their revenue. Nonetheless,
smaller screens will prove to be a monumental blunder as
television resolution begins to eclipse the images seen on
theater screens: film buffs won’t want to go to watch a
small screen at a theater with poor ambience, when they
can rent a movie for their sharp screens at home.
The issue of ambience brings us to what may best be
described as the ignoramus problem, people who have
never learned the proper etiquette for watching a movie.
After nicely asking a talking ignoramus to be quiet with no
significant satisfaction, some viewers would like to be able
to find an usher to complain to, but there are usually none
to be found. The management’s apparent reluctance to
take a pro-active stance in this area again alienates the
discerning viewer. After all, a good movie deserves the
The 1Joy Luck Club"

—A Skillful Adaptation of Novel to Film
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Hollywood has discovered the literary
world anew. Recent film adaptations of
bestselling novels such as Jurassic Park,
The Firm and Damage have inspired pro
ducers and studio executives to head for
their local bookstores in search of a quick
buck. It is tempting to dismiss director
Wayne Wang’s Joy Luck Club as just
another example of the Hollywoodization
of popular fiction. The bestselling novel by
Amy Tan obviously created a strong base of
fans and the complex, interwoven tale of
Chinese mothers and daughters would be
easy to turn into a crowd-pleasing, formulaic
tear-jerker. Surprisingly, the filmakers have
for the most part resisted the temptation to
saccharize Tan’s rich book and have in turn
produced an honest, if a bit flawed, film.
The skill of Tan’s novel was in the for
mat—a loosely connected series of recollec
tions and memories by a circle of Chinese
same attention as a good book.
Even the sloppy projection of a movie may alienate
discerning viewers. At certain theaters, the person hired to
run the projector seems to have been carefully chosen for
his adeptness at throwing the projector out of focus or
focusing the film so that the image overlaps the screen by a
couple of feet. Patrons pay to see the entire frame, not part
of it. this also places the viewer in the bind of missing part
of the film while they run out to the lobby to complain to a
manager who also can never be found. Where do these
managers and ushers hide?
Personally, I look forward to the year 2020 when we
will be watching movies on theater screens the size of
postage stamps and paying forty dollars to get in. It will be
obligatory for the film to be projected slightly out of focus,
and there will be forty-five minutes of commercials before
the feature even begins. Everyone will engage in loud and
active conversation throughout the entire feature. Nobody
will care about watching the film anyway because every
movie that these big chains run will be just plain awful.
And by this time, all of the small theater owners who used
to take some pride in the movies they ran will have been
put out of business —- a sad day for the purists who used to
love going to the movies.
mothers and daughters. Each character's mys
tery and history is slowly peeled back through
the course of the narrative, ultimately reveal
ing a rich mosaic of loss and regret and beauty
and strength. The miscommunication and
generation gaps that plague the mother-daugh
ter relationships are slowly patched but never
truly resoved.
The novel’s structure is almost impossble
to translate to the screen, but Tan and coscreenwriter Ronald Bass make a valiant ef
fort. There is a heavy use of flashback and
voice-over narration and director Wang does
a skillful job of weaving in and out among the
various stories with little confusion. But film
is a fundamentally different medium than
literature, and the loose structure that Tan
employed so skillfully is not quite as power
ful here. The language of the book was a
significant part of it’s beauty, and despite
the extensive narration, that effect is lost in
film.
That said, the film is quite successful on
its own terms. The stories are told slowly
and with great respect for the audience.
Nothing is quick or easy, and the perfor
mances by the mostly unknown cast bring
out the sadness and beauty of the charac
ters. The heartbreaking and magical stories
are for the most part not played for easy
sentiment or quick tears. In that respect,
Tan and Wang have abandoned the easy,
sentimental route to box office success and
preserved the dignity and power of the
�Mose Allison
in Concert October 24
Mose Allison, the legendary Missis
sippi Delta blues singer, songwriter,
and pianist, will give two concerts on
the CSUSM campus as part of its Arts
and Lectures Series. Mose will per
form songs from his 20 albums which
span 50 years, including his Grammywinning album, Ever Since the World
Ended.
Mose John Allison, Jr. was bom in
1927 on the Mississippi Delta. He
received piano lessons as a small child,
but quit as soon as he discovered he
could play by ear. He played tmmpet in
marching and dance bands and started
making up his own songs.
In the early 1960s, as the Mose
Allison Trio began to get more work, he
found that writing his own songs was
essential both as a means of expression,
and as a practical matter of expanding
his repertoire. His music was inspired
by listening to old pop tunes, country
and western songs, and composers like
Bartok, Ives, Hindemith, and Ruggles.
The process of fusing these diverse
elements into a cohesive performance
continues today. Meanwhile, Mose re
corded more than 20 albums; performed
all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and
Australia and wrote about 100 songs.
Some of these songs were recorded by
The Who, The Clash, The Yardbirds,
Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and oth
ers. His album, Lessons in Living, was
nominated for a Grammy in 1983, and
Ever Since the World Ended won a
Grammy in 1989.
Concerts will be in Academic Hall,
Room 102 on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3 PM
and 5 PM. Admission will be $3 for
CSUSM students and $5 for general
admission. Tickets may be purchased
at the CSUSM bookstore, or by calling
the bookstore at 752-4730.

�Counterculture Class Examines Beats, Hippies & Punks
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Perhaps you’ve noticed that coffee
houses have become increasingly popular.
Many people are rediscovering these estab
lishments and filling them to capacity eve
nings and weekends. During the late 1950s
and early 1960s, coffeehouses were an im
portant element of the Beat Generation, a
counter-cultural movement that began dur
ing this era. The renewed interest in aspects
of counterculture has also been reflected
here at CSUSM. This fall, the history de
partment offered an unusual class studying
the counterculture movements of Beats,
Hippies, and Punks. This class examines the
radical counterculture movements that oc
curred in the United States following WWII.
Professor Jill Watts, who teaches His
tory 430C, created this class based on previ
ous students’ ideas and interests. While
teaching a general history course, she dis
covered that her students became veiy inter
ested in the small amounts of American
counterculture she included. Students
wanted to know more about these move
ments and what happened to them.
Watts developed the class to answer these
questions and fulfill CSUSM’s requirements
of race, class and gender. She acknowledged
that CSUSM encourages the development of
new classes that explore unanswered ques
tions. While other campuses may offer classes
that examine Beats and Hippies, this class is
unique because it links the Punk movement
with the two earlier groups and establishes
the connection between all three.
American counterculture emerged after
WWII as America marched into the Cold
War under the cloud of McCarthyism. The
chilling prospects of a devastating nuclear
war seemed imminent. However, a rebellion
against these conditions began to develop in
the 1950s led by writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack
Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Known as
the Beat Generation, these writers confronted
the conformist and militaristic attitude they
perceived dominated American society.
As popular culture began to develop an
interest in the Beat Generation, or what they
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The burgeoning coffeehouse culture has left
hardly a street comer untouched. Previously bland
and conservative communities have been invaded
by pseudo avant-garde, cutting edge caffeine
shelters for disaffected middle-class teenagers who
need a place to sulk and show off their flannels and
tattoos. In the face of a Java invasion that can
leave one swearing off cappuccino forever, the Hill
Street Coffeehouse stands out as an espresso
oasis.
Positioned unassumingly in the middle of
Oceanside’s notorious Hill Street, the yellow
termed “beatniks,” the counterculture move
ment spun into a new form of rebellion. The
Hippies emerged in the 1960s operating with
a different style, but still rejecting main
stream American society. Watts claims that
the rebellion apparent in the Beats and Hip
pies was also apparent in the Punk movement
of the early 1980s.
Like many previous students, CSUSM stu
dents find Watts’ class on counterculture
interesting.
Kathleen Rohan, one of her students, said,
“This class interested me because I never
knew anything about those groups.” Many
students remember the stereotypical beatnik
portrayed by Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie
Gillis.” This image contrasts sharply with the
individuals studied in Watts’ class. Rohan
observed, “In thattime period,Ididn’trealize
there were people out there confronting is
sues so harshly.”
Professor Watts says that while the study
of counterculture provides important insight
into post WWH American society, it also is
quite relevant to contemporary society. Watts
Victorian style house at first seems out of place.
Once inside the coffeehouse gates, however, it’s like
a different world. It may seem a contradiction, then,
that anybody would choose to open up a cafe appeal
ing to customers seeking conversation and relaxation
in such an area. Hill Street has long been associated
with prostitution and crime, and the city’s recent
redevelopment efforts have had little success in
changing that image.
In a strange way, though, it all works. The coffee
house provides a kind of escape for anyone looking
f ora break away from the grunge and grime of the
world outside, and in turn the peacefulness of the
environment inside makes one look at Hill Street in a
different light. It certainly is the last place anybody
would expect to find a haven for culture, and in many
ways that surprise is what gives this coffeehouse its
charm.
There is an engaging, literate feel to the coffee
shop that is conducive to both intelligent discussion
and quiet studying. The academic environment is
said, “We are coming off the 1980s, a time
of materialism and conformity.” The 1990s
are proving to be quite different. Watts
added that the new generation faces job
scarcity and limited mobility. These condi
tions have led to the disenchantment of
many American youths. Rohan echoed this
feeling. “People are looking and question
ing the government and society’s values.
They’re wondering if we’re doing the right
thing.”
Counterculture can be disturbing; it op
poses conventional society. However, the
renewed interest in these movements may
reveal a type of admiration. As Rohan
stated, “I kind of envy the beats, hippies and
punks, and the way they could go to the
extreme.” The members involved in coun
terculture were not afraid to speak out against
the accepted system. The courage to freely
express oneself earns some measure of re
spect.
most intense
duringthe daytime hours when t
establishment is less populated. Weekend nights
tend to bring an invasion of high school kids and
other such cretins looking fora cool place to hang
out, but the ambiance is still pleasant. The White
Out, a palette pleasing blend of espresso, hazelnut
flavoring and white hot chocolate is the hottest
ticket on the menu. New Zealand Sunnyslopes tea
is also recommended.
Musicians often perform weekends on the
pleasant back patio and the works of local artists
decorate the walls. It is especially pleasing to see
this kind of dedication to the local art scene in the
face of the increasing commercialization of the
coffeehouse Zeitgeist. Mike and Ross, the owners
of the coffeehouse, are obviously not in this busi
ness to exploit a trend and make a fast buck. They
are genuinely friendly people who care about the
state of their community and have provided that
community with a welcome boost.

�Career Day / Grad Fair Highlights
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Applications, resumes, catalogs, busi
ness cards, and pamphlets changed hands
underneath the white tent at CSUSM’s
Career and Grad/Professional Fair, Thurs
day Sep. 30th at Founder’s Plaza.
One thousand students met with 62 busi
ness and government agencies as well as 25
graduate professional schools to discuss
career choices, goals and job availability.
Representatives from the banking indus
try, retail stores, financial planning, hospi
tality, accounting, social service,
manufacturing,insurance, package delivery,
and government agencies set up booths
from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Companies and
agencies were present to accept resumes,
hand out applications, discuss educational
requirements, conductmock interviews and
answer basic questions about their indus
try.
Calloway Golf, the Carlsbad California
manufacturer of the Big Bertha golf club
which was voted the 14th fastest growing
company by Fortune magazine, is always
hiring. Sheri Wright, Human Resource
Representative for Calloway, looks for ap
plicants who have technical skills. Com
puter literacy and leadership skills as well
as any scheduling and planning experience
are, a plus. Interested students should mail
resumes to Calloway Golf, attention Sheri
Wright, Human Resources.
Smith Barney Shearson, a financial plan
ning firm with offices from San Diego to
New York City, was on hand to introduce
their internship program.
“ An internship gives students tremendous
insight into the opportunities and challenges
of a career in financial services,” said Paul
Firth, Financial Consultant in Smith Barney
Shearson’s Carlsbad office. Interns would
not be paid; however, students could unit
college credits through an independant study
program.
Bank of America returned to the Career
Fair because of the positive community re
sponse and the number of applicants they
received at last year’s job fair. “Last year we
received 40 to 50 applications,” said Joylene
Dusran-Shew, Bank of America Staffing Spe
cialist
The career fair gives students “the perfect
opportunity to hold mini and mock interviews
which help students practice interview skills
without the formality," said Meyer.
The Equitable Life Insurance Agency was
curious about CSUSM upon reading newspa
per stories about the University. James
Reopelle, District Manager for the Equitable
wanted to check out the school and accept
resumes from the “Right Persons" who pos
sess interpersonal skills, high intelligence lev
els, entrepreneurial skills and work ethics.
First year Equitable employees can expect to
earn $36,000. "Players" earn $50,000 their
first year. Equitable employees will attest that
hours are long and the work is hard if you want
to enjoy the financial rewards.
Twenty-five graduate and professional
schools set up booths from 1-3 pm. for the
second half of the Career Fair. CSUSM rep
resentatives from the education, mathemat
ics and psychology departmentsjoined schools
with campuses throughout California to meet
students interested in advanced degrees.
The UC Irvine social ecology department
boasts a 43% increase in applications this
year. The recruited attribute the interest to
current world-wide emphasis on the environ
ment. The current acceptance rate for social
ecology applicants is 1 in 6. Most graduates of
UC Irvine social ecology hold academic ca
reers. Some graduates turn to Urban Plan
ning.
Western State University, College of Law
(WSU) is the “only accredited law school in
the area that offers Spring Admission,” said
Carl Tusinski, Admissions Counselor. Stu
dents can apply up to the start of the term
via WSU’s rolling admissions policy.
The Career Fair is a semi-annual event
at CSUSM "provided funding continues,"
said Sandy Punch. Punch is organizing a
Career and Teacher Education Fair in
February 1994. The Teacher Education
portion is strategically scheduled before
campus interviews.
The February 1994 Career Fair will
target local and national businesses and
agencies. Butdon'texpect to meetAT&T,
ITT and TRW at the fair. Punch has
invited them in the past but they declined.
The reason—CSUSM does not offer de
grees in engineering.

1st Alumni Picnic A Hit
THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS YOU
By Richard Molloy
President, A.S.
Well, actually, the students need you to represent the “student point
o f view.” There are a variety of university committees and it is
encouraged that student representation exists. Committees are
created to develop plans and policy about this university which will
undoubtedly affect students at some point It is, therefore, crucial
for us to have interested students who are willing to speak up when
student issues arise. It is also a great way to meet faculty, staff and
administrators. The following committees have positions available:

President Bill Stacy slams a volley ova-the net Nice form!
By Debbie Duffy
Contributing Writer
The sound of sizzling hamburgers cook
ing on a grill, the fragrance ofpies and cakes,
the mouthwatering cookies, the sound of
laughterand conversation, the sightofpeople
playing games and gathering with Mends,
all came together on August 29,1993.
If you were listening, smelling, and see
ing all these things, you were at the First
CSUSM Alumni Association Picnic, held at
Walnut Grove Park. The Alumni Associa
tion wanted to pull everyone together for an
old-fashioned picnic: alumni, students, fac
ulty, staff, and families were all invited to
enjoy end-of-summer festivities.
Everyone who came had a good rime,
either by meeting with friends, or by playing
volleyball, baseball, and ‘Twister’, or by
cooking and preparing dinner, but especially
by consuming the food. Who could turn
away delicious burgers, hot dogs, salads,
chips, and dessert? No one at the picnic
could or did.
As people arrived, well-known faculty
members manned the grills. Wearing trusty,
well-worn aprons with interesting slogans,
these self-confident men tackled the cook
ing. Dr. Stacy, of course, led the way,
demonstrating his faultless grilling style.
Studiously attentive, Dr. Rocha, Dr. Lilly
and Dr. Zomalt followed Dr. Stacy’s lead.
Needless to say, everything was done to
perfection.
After eating, the children were invited to
play games and win prizes. BritanyCrist,a
LiberalArtsstudent,ran thechildren’sgames,
and every child came running back to his
or her parent, faces smiling,with goodies
grasped in their hands.
Volleyball teams were formed for some
post-dining exercise and fun. “It is, of
course, a strenuous game,” all agreed.
Bestof all, a 100-person Twister’ game
was donated by Milton Bradley. After the
game was taped together, everyone had a
rip-roaring time watching the players try
to remain on their colored circles as the
different body parts attempted to match
differently colored circles while straining
to keep the other body parts on the circles
already called.
Children competed against children,
adults competed against children (not fair-children are naturally more flexible than
adults), and university clubs competed
against each other for a $30 prize. The
children, of course, outlasted the adults
(was there any doubt?). When
the
Circle K. Soccer and SCTA, TEKE and
Economics clubsplayed againsteach other,
rivalry displayed itself immediately. All
the struggling, writhing, twisting, falling,
and stretching, ultimately proved who the
winner would be—the TEKE fraternity!
Due to hard work of Lora Coad and her
committee, Tom Weir and his staff, the
TEKE fraternity, the donations from local
businesses, and the grand effort of the
cooks, the day was a huge success.
By the end of an afternoon of food and
fun, everyone was full, tired, and happy.
They had come together as one, as an
important part of an extraordinary univer
sity named CSU San Marcos.

�The Global Village Celebrates Its 3rd Year
By Claudine Scott
S taff Writer
On Sunday, Oct. 3, CSUSM held its 3rd annual
International Festival. In keeping with the CSUSM
mission statement, the event was a celebration of
cultural diversity represented in our community. The
day was filled with tasty ethnic samplings and lively
sights and sounds.
Several booths lined the upper parking lot. Among
the many countries represented were Africa, South
America, Iran, China and Romania. All had fascinat
ing objects to be admired or purchased. The atmo
sphere was friendly and warm, no hard sell.
Friends of the Library had a popular stand selling
used books, some of them collector items dating back
to 1898. All in all, prices were reasonable for all the
booths’ wares.
Throughout the day, a myriad of performances
could be seen and heard at the main stage: Chinese
Lion Dancers, Chasqui ensemble playing Andean
music, Sankofa’s Afro-Jazz group, including the day’s
featured performers, Los Lobos.
The Children’s Stage also had many activities going
on simultaneously. The children could choose from
workshops in African d rumming, Indian and Spanish
dance, and a Balkan song workshop. Local elemen
tary school 5th and 6th graders provided the artwork
on display with colorful masks created with the help
of CSUSM volunteer visual arts students. This is just
one example of CSUSM’s efforts to reach out into the
community.
There was also a variety of ethnic foods to sample.
Everything from jambalaya, blackened fish and
vegetable bourguignonne to egg rolls and authentic
Mexican dishes.
A day geared towards family fun, everyone en
joyed the celebration of diverse cultures and customs.
Smiles and sunshine were the order of the day.

Student Advisory Council
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Business majors confused about require
ments or classes now have a new outlet to
voice their concerns. Formed last spring
semester by business students and fotmer
business Dean Anderson, the Student Advi
sory Council (SAC) for tbe College of Busi
ness is operating and ready to assist business
majors.
Designed last semester to provide open
communication between administration and
students, CSUSM faculty wereaskedto nomi
nate students they felt had the necessary quali
fications to save as student advisors. Last
spring, eight students woe chosen to serve on
the first council.
SAC is a group unique to CSUSM. While
all colleges have two student representatives,
this is tbe first college to have larger group
representation. Council member Bob Mulqeen
noted that a larger group of organized students
can share tasks, reduce the work load, and
facilitate student accessibility.
Tbe goal of the Council is to provide an
outlet for students to voice their concerns,
opinions, and criticism. Although the busi
ness dean’s office has always been open to
students’ concerns, students may feel more
comfortable approaching one of their own
peas.
This semester, SAC has already been busy
fielding questions from students. The fall ‘93
curriculum greeted business majors with many
changes. Units, course numbers and prerequi
sites had been revised leaving many students
confused.
Student representatives working with SAC
arranged an open forum in September with the
new acting business Dean Diehr, and Richard
Millman, Provost and VP of Academic Af
fairs, to review the new business curriculum.
Students attending the forum asked for in
creased information to help them with future
planning. Within a week, students received a
tentative spring schedule which would
allow them to plan next semester’s classes
and anticipate problems.
Further communication from business
studoits is expected. Business majors
should be receiving questionnaires which
will ask for their input regarding upcom
ing classes. In addition to the question
naire, the SAC encourages ongoing stu
dent input. The council welcomes any
concerns signed or anonymous, and will
do their best to investigate each student’s
letter. Studoits can place written con
cerns in one of the council’s mailboxes
locatedintheCollegeofBusiness Admin
istration, or in the Associated Student
Office.

�Recycling Is Easy
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
CSUSM makes it easy for you to
unclutter your life with the most efficient
recycling program around.
Consider dropping the first draft of your
term papa: in the mixed office papa: bin
instead of the bottom of your bacpack.
White office paper and computer pa
per are the most valuable paper to recycle.
It will make it easier for you to find your
important papers, like the first edition of
our nameless student newspaper.
Once you have pored through our first
edition take a minute to drop it in the
newspaper container located in the stair
way of Academic Hall. “Recycling a 36inch-tall stack of newspapers saves the
equivalent of 14% of the average house
hold electric bill,” according to the Recy
cling Committee of CSUSM.
Snapple bottles make a sticky mess
rolling around in the back seat of your car
yet can find a happy home in the Glass
Recyclingbin. Youcanleavethelabelon,
but please remove the lid.
Once you have had your morning soda
caffeine buzz, please discard your alumi
num can in the Cans and Plastic bin. You
can also add tin, bi-metal cans, metal pie
plates and aluminum foil. Plastic milk
cartons and soda bottles with a number
one or two on the bottom can be recycled
as well.

This crisis is triggered by the entrance of

Steven Fleming predictably and blindly
enters into a steamy affair with Anna Barton.
Their passion for one another seems to tran

the dominant leadership role he has become
used to playing, he acknowledges a need to
create “some kind of order” out of the sudden
emotional chaos their affair has brought into
his life. He says, “We’ve got to find a struc

can resist the force which pulls them
together. Anna warns him about herself:
“Remember, damaged people are dan

The chemistry between them becomes

depth of their passion. To the very end,

�Should You Get
a Flu Shot?
By Joel Grinolds, MD, M.P.H.
Unlike the 15th century Italians who
named Influenza because they thought
the disease was influenced by the stars,
we do know the cause and better yet,
have a vaccine to prevent i t
The Influenza vaccine will be
available again this year at Student
Health Services. Ib is wily virus has
once again mutated and a new strain
appeared last year. Therefore, the
1993-1994 vaccine is different and will
provide protection against this new
strain called the Beijing flu.
Who should get the vaccine?
Groups considered high-risk are those
with chronic cardiovascular (heart)
disease, chronic pulmonary (lung)
disease including asthma, chronic
metabolic disease, people age 60 or
older, health care workers and anyone
having extensive contact with high-risk
persons.
High-risk persons will be vaccinated
free with state supplied vaccine.
People who are not considered highrisk can receive the vaccine for a $10
fee.
This program is open to students,
faculty and staff and will begin today.
If you have questions regarding the
desirability or need for the vaccine, or
wish to make an appointment for a flu
shot, please contact Student Health
Services at 752-4915.

St. Valentine's D ay
Commercialized holiday sours the sweetness of love
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
People t raditionally view
F ebruary 14 as the day to celebrate love, to remember love,
and to make love, but in 2009,
the holiday may be m ore about
t he dough in the b ank t han t he
h eart shaped c andies.
V alentine's Day is celebrated
in m ost c ountries as a day to
show a ffection t o loved ones
w ith cute n otes, r ed r oses, and
t eddy b ears, but m any believe
t hat V alentine's day is b ecoming more of a c ommercialized
holiday than a day of a ppreciation.
If only A mericans could
take the f amous lyrics sung
by The Beatles " Can't Buy Me
Love" a l ittle more seriously,
Valentine's Day Wouldn't W
one of the t op revenue p roducing holidays. T his y ear's Valentine's Day total s pending is
to reach $14.7 b illion, according tf the N ational R etail
F ederJSon's 2 009 V alentine's
Day C onsumer I ntentions and
A ctions survey, c onducted by
B IGresearlh.
A mericans buy approximately seven biUkm g reeting c ards l each y ear p roducing approximately $7.5 billion
in sales, with V alentine's Day
g eneraéííg 25% of t hese s ales,
according t o the G reeting Card
Association's website. Valentine's J^ay is i he SiVHHniRW
p opular holiday tor s ending
c ards, a part f rom Christmasl
being n umber one. *
Some say ' I love y ou' \ ^itjj a
box x)f c hocolates, d iamonds o l
even f i d d l y s tuffed a nffiials,
but it IS quite evident t hat
the A m e r S b c ulture dgpiqg
it i mportant H f say the t hree
words t hrough thé w allet.

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

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

Jam Control So you think you can dance?
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
Jam Control is a student organization at
CSUSM that focuses on building a student
community through the artistic expression
of movement.
Jam Control aims to celebrate the love of

and to bring out new dancers or dancers
that just want to share their experience with
others. Jam Control stands for "Justifying
Artistic Movement, Collaboration of New

Dancers and instructors work collaboratively to ensure an environment that fosters
exploration and innovation. "It does not just
relate to dancing, but how it relates to collaborating with anyone and everyone that
has a passion and the drive to build a sense
of community and
unity in our campus
and society," said
Jam Control's club
president Randy Saldivar.
Jam Control had
its first debut at
CSUSM in 2000,
because a group of
students wanted to
celebrate the art of
CSUSM. With a weekly attendance average
of around forty-five members, Jam Control
is here to stay.
Originally conceptualized to celebrate
the art of hip-hop, Jam Control appreciates
all dance styles. "Jam Control is focusing on becoming a World Dance Student

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

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

Senior Staff Writer
This weekend packs a punch
with its action and romance
releases. This week's crop features several big name actors
and directors in f ilms that may
be quite e ntertaining.
Arts & Entertainment
First, German director Tom
Tykwer brings "The International." Tykwer, the director
of the modern foreign classic "Run Lola Run," now features an American cast in a
story about a corrupt international bank. Clive Owen and
Naomi Watts star in the leading roles.
Though the story
of one man bringing
down a corrupt organization has been done
to death through James
Bond, Jason Bourne*
and Jack Bauer, this
could be an entertaining action f ilm. It all
depends on how well
the twists and t urns
are laid out. Tykwer
is a good storyteller
as evidenced by his
German work, and his
recent English f ilm,
" Perfume."
For those who have
already seen "He's Just
Not That Into You,"
and need a rom-com
for St. Valentine's Day, look
no f urther than "Confessions
of a Shopaholic." Isla Fischer
, stars in this tale of an obsessive and excessive shopper
t rying to land a j ob at a fashion magazine and balance her
life. Though consumerism is
dead during this economic
crisis, many young ladies will
f ind this an entertaining f ilm.
"Two Lovers" is an alternate romance f ilm for those
looking for a more serious
f ilm. This drama stars Joaquin
Phoenix as a heartbroken man looking to
rebuild himself. In
the process, he f alls
for two women at the
same time. He must
choose between the
two women and faces
the consequences in
this drama. The end
of this f ilm is obvious
f rom the trailer. The
protagonist will have f un with
both women, but viewers will
know the conclusion before he
does. With modern romances

such as "Two Lovers," the f ilm
is about the j ourney rather
than the end. Yet, the j ourney is less exciting when one
knows where it is g oings
An alternate route to getting close to someone this St.
Valentine's Day is to hold him
or her tight while
watching the remake of "Friday
the 13th." Since the remakes
of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Halloween," it
was only a matter of time
before Jason and his hockey
mask got an update - it's c onvenient. This Friday happens
to be the 13th as well. I have
simple expectations about this
f ilm. Several people will gp to
Camp Crystal Lake and die. If
this slasher f ilm can emphasize tension over violence,
it may be
worth a
watch. Or, one
could get the immortally creepy original.
Attention all students!

Hits of Sunshine
Sonic Youth
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces & Places Editor
My intention is to write a column
exploring what I believe to be musicians'
^ essential works that any devoted music
lover can, well, love. With any luck, that
may very well be how this thing ends
•up.
...
After 15 studio albums, 28 active
years, and the redefinition of the rock
guitar sound, one might assume Sonic
Youth have a fair amount of street cred.
They should, since all four members are
old enough to be our parents. Thurston
Moore, lead vocalist and husband of
bassist Kim Gordon, formed Sonic Youth
in 1981 with Lee Ranaldo, lead guitarist.
Drummer Steve Shelley completed the
cast when he joined in 1985.
Although I wouldn't necessarily deem
Hits 6f Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg),
off 1998's A Thousand Leaves, as the
pivotal Sonic Youth experience, a certain power rests in the epic, 11-minute jam sweetly sandwiched between
Moore's subdued vocal performance.
Stripped from any harmony or modern
effects, abstract, breathy words convey
a world so purely in the style Ginsberg
explored.
Ginsberg's legendary stream of consciousness writings reclassified poetry
during the Beat Generation's height of
creativity in the 1950s. Just as Moore
and Ranaldo embrace non-conformity

in their compositions, so the Beats
expanded upon classic poetic styles.
What makes this song so special
is the lyrics' ability to stand on their
own without the support of any music,
regardless of its innovation. Believe
me, with imagery like, "the lights
will blind up with blues in haiku/the
shadow has a dream where painters
look to sea," these twisted verses could
easily stand up to any coffeehouse recitation this side of San Francisco.
The rounded, cool lines end far too
early as the listener encounters the
haunting noises Sonic Youth are so
keen on including in their work. The
tempo seems mellow as the band's
extraordinary grasp of organic sound
fills the already clouded atmosphere.
In keeping with Ginsberg's groove,
Ranaldo's lead guitar reflects the chaotic, nearly melody-free body of the
song. No discernable pattern exists,
making duplication of any measure
virtually impossible. Who would want
to try, anyway?
Suddenly, Moore's ethereal tenor
returns like it never left. Echoing rhymes past, the steady drone of
guitar, drums, and bass combined with
the even lyrics surprisingly produce a
lull until gently fading out. Never in
my life would I expect to feel calmed
after a Sonic Youth encounter, but to
this weary listener, the respite is welcome.

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

A refreshing gentle boost
Diet Lemon Iced T ea
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Snapple Beverage Corporation distributes Diet Lemon Iced
Tea from their headquarters in
Rye Brook, New York. Leonard Marsh, Hyman Golden,
and Arnold Greenburg grew up
together as friends. Originally, the
trio sold purefruitdrinks to health
conscious stores.
The Snapple name came from
one of their originalfruitflavored
drinks. The apple flavored drink
tasted snappy, giving birth to the
company's world famous name.
Snapple Lemon Tea debuted
as the first product in 1987. Currently, the company sells nearly 70
flavors of tea to over 81 countries.
A 20 fluid ounce plastic bottle
of Snapple Diet Lemon Iced Tea
retails between $2-3. Although the
glass tea bottle offers the popular random fact under the
bottle cap such as a gold
fish's attention span is
three seconds, the plastic version can be taken
anywhere a tea connoisseur desires.
The diet version has
zero calories making the
drink a perfect choice for
many still working on
their New Year's resolution to consume healthier
products. The tea is also
made from natural lemon
flavors, amongst other
natural flavors.

Ever since my first semester here at CSUSM, I have
enjoyed the semester tradition
of browsing during Cougar
Bazaar. Imre Papp shows up
each semester to display his
wares for the CSUSM community. Although Papp frequents
street fairs and shows, he
states that he enjoys CSUSM
for its "light atmosphere" and
"friendly students."
Papp
takes pride in the quality of
his garments. He just wants to
sell "good clothes to good students "
"I just love the prices," said
CSUSM community member,
Chelsea Taylor.
While browsing the tees,
Taylor described her style as
eclectic, "a mix between I don't
give a fuck, and I am beautiful
After a slight shaking the tea
pours thin releasing a hint of fresh
lemon. A murky reddish brown
illuminates the tea glass filled to
the brim with ice cubes. The fluid
easily passes through the lips
and into the mouth. A refreshing
charge of lemony zest energizes
all aspects of the mouth. The diet
tea does not taste as bold as the
regular tea but the trade off for
zero calories balances the discrepancy. Add a slice of lemon to the
brim for extra zing. The tea pairs
well with light lunches such as
tuna sandwiches and chef salads.
The small doses of caffeine
make any Snapple product a great
treat for any Cougar during a day
of rigorous classes. Next time,
buy two Snapple teas and enjoy
the refreshing beverage at a bench
or under a tree with a fellow classmate. Cheers!
enough to wear anything."
Taylor's shopping companion Alix Fidel also loves shopping.
A frequent Cougar Bazaar
shopper, Fidel added ", the guy
who works here is really nice."
Fidel describes her style as
"classic, clean and tailored."
Two women, two different
style philosophies: same love
of bargain buys.
The clothes on display
appeal to the average college
student. There is a great variety of shirts and an awesome
array of sassy scarves.
The style is reminiscent of
brands such as Pacsun and
Sun Diego. The clothes match
the classic California beach
aesthetic. In other words, the
clothes are laidback.
In general, the vibe is youthful, vivacious and carefree.
The garments are very rea-
sonably priced ranging from
$8.00-$35.00, although the
vast majority are priced under
$20.00.
I still recall my purchase
last semester, a gray jersey
cardigan that I was planning
to buy from Urbanoutfitters
for a mere $12.00. Originally,
the same jersey cardigan was
available online for $30.00.
I got it for less than half the
price. Needless to say, I was
ecstatic and decided it was in
my best interest to buy another
cardigan the next day.
Overall, I purchased two
cardigans for a price less then
the original. I left satisfied
and my wallet was equally
grateful.

Five movies to watch on Valentine's Day
Women and men will enjoy any of these movies
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
Sometimes it's hard to find
one movie that you and your
. significant nthpr wmilH Vintfo
like to watch. Here are 5
movie picks that couples can
watch together on Valentine's
Day.
1. P.S. I Love You
I might be a bit biased on
this pick since it is one of my
favorite movies of all the time
but I can ensure that it is definitely worth watching if you
have not already done so. You

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

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

million, according to the National

still investigating the reasons behind the widespread power loss.

The Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team is no stranger to
amazing success on the field.
Last year, the team ended its
regular season with a 10-2-5 record. Five players were selected
to play for the A.I.I. Women's
Soccer All-Conference Team
with head coach, Ron Pulvers,
named Coach o f the Year. The
new season started on a high note
as the NAIA announced in early
September that the lady Cougars were ranked 15th in the nation. Game after game, the team
proved what CSUSM women's
soccer is all about..
Again, playing another game
only three days later, the lady
Cougars faced off in Fresno
against Fresno Pacific. At first,
the game was a toss up with both
teams evenly matched. At the
start o f the second half, the Cougars came off the bench hungry
for a goal to keep their undefeated streak alive. Only minutes into
the second half, freshman Courtney Kay scored 1he games only
goal after Fresno's keeper lost the
ball during a free kick from just
outside the box by Shannon Cox.
Kay's goal was icing on the cake
as she celebrated her birthday and
kept the Cougars at a solid 3-0
start.

The season kicked off with
an impressive 4-0 win verses
Point Park. Last season's leading
scorer, senior Lauren Johnson,
opened the 2011-2012 season just
sixteen minutes into the game
with a goal o ff a c omer kick. The
Cougars managed to score three
o f its four goals before the end o f
the first half.
Game2
Playing only two days later, the
women's soccer team managed to
scrape by with a 1-0 win versus
Biola. The Cougars were outshooting Biola 14-8 but were not
able to convert until midfielder
Arielle Cohen took a free kick in

When The CSUSM women's
volleyball players hit the courts
for practice in !-lunter gymnasium,
the pride o f representing San Marcos will be the team's main drive
to push them through all o f the
hard work in its inaugural season.
Cal State San Marcos announced last fall that the athletic
department would be adding
women's volleyball to the university's growing list o f sports offerings. The team was slowly starting to commit players and a coach
before the start o f the fall season.
The young team, made up o f ten
freshmen, one sophomore, and
five juniors, will play all home
games at the Escondido High
School gyni until a larger Gymnasium can be built on campus.
" It is going to be a little hard
to play home games off campus, but it's also amazing to
think that Escondido supports us
enough to let us use their gym,"
freshman Tayler Gomez said.
One player does admit that
being a part o f a first-year team
and juggling class work does
occasionally come with some
pressure. "Becaus~ student athletes are such a small group on
campus, we really want to prove
that we can represent both the
student athletes and the school,"
sophomore Rachel Quam said.
Quam also reflected that even
though they are athletes, "school
work comes first. We truly
are students before athletes."
As their season enters week
four, the players are starting
to settle in on campus and find
their niche on the team. "We
have been focusing a lot on

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

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

There are several services the
LGBTQA Pride Center offers to
C SUSM students. One is education and free testing for IDV. To~
day, Sept. 13, at noon, the Vista
Community Clinic will hold their
presentation about t he disease
and give tips o n prevention o f
spreading it. The clinic returns
on Thursday, Sept. 15, for free
screenings from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Both events occur at the Pride
Center, Commons 201.
T hough scientists created many
medical breakthroughs over time,
disease and illness is a normal
part o f h uman life. While mv
(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is not as widespread in the
United States as in other countries that are heavily affected,
there are a number o f new cases
in the country e very year. The
California for AIDS Research,
Education and Services (CARES)
reported in 2 009, S an Diego
County had confirmed 4008 cases, the third highest number o f
mv cases in the state. Los Angeles held the highest with 14,099
cases and S an Francisco followed
with 5,212 cases. With the help
o f educational talks and testing,
those nunibers can decrease in the
near future.
According to Keyatta P arker
and Gustavo Aguirre, health educators from the Vista Cqmmunity
Clinic, the t est is a simple and
non-invasive process. I t takes 2040 m.iDutes, a nd all information is
kept confidential. After filling_
out health forms., participating
students are given a kit with materials to swab the inside o f their
mouth. I t is a painless procedure
and is done in a private room inside the Pride Center. A fter thl(
waiting period, the administrator
hands· the student the results and
counseling and consultation are
available, i f the student needs
them.
" The goal is to normalize the [IDV] test,"
said Gustavo Aguirre.
A standard l llV test
involves drawing
blood and weeks o f
waiting for results.
Thanks to the program, more people
can be screened at
convenient locations
and times using the
painless oral swab test.
The program with
the Pride C enter first
started in March

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

I s ee heartbreak and heartache and yet I still linger for more.! crave
adventure, whether it be exploring a haunted forest at night or spending a day at
Disneyland. I 'm a thinker, a listener and a reader. I will get lost in a book; in the
me and definitely
pages o f someone else's mind. I have big dreams, bigger
bigger than any realist. Music speaks to me in a tone that no one else can. I can
give you all the advice in the world. but taking it, myself. is an obstacle I have
yet to overcome. I am fascinated by movieS and the way someone can literally
make their vision come to life astonishes me. I am a night owl and not a morning
person, but I love being awake early. I am a human IMDb and a contradiction.
More importantly: I write. Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit at

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

F reedom o f t he p ress
I mportance o f m edia t ransparecy p ost 9 -11
As I sat down to write this article, I expected to offer commentary on the American media's
coverage o f the events o f 9/11.
The vast and varied ways that
television, film and print journalism told the story o f the attacks
made for extremely compelling
capsules o f information that still
have relevance all o f 10 years
later.
Within that commentary, I expected to be critical o f the media;
I wanted to explain why revealing the president's location on
9/11 and airing footage o f people
jumping out o f the World Trade
Center buildings was beyond the
responsibility o f media.
The more I considered the
subject, however, I uncovered a
different angle to this type o f response (which is rather common
among those who e xpress
an opinion, it seems). W h i 1e
many sought to criticize
the media for their ~- c o m prehensive c-overage
o f the
day's events, others
understood the
i ntent
p ortreal-
importance within a free society.
This concept o f "media transparency" is an irrefutable asset
to the American public. Should
the media cover up events in order to maintain an advanced state
o f public order or government
secrecy, the concept o f freedom
would cease to exist as fast as
true journalism would. Media, as
a service to the public, preserves
transparency so it may preserve
freedom.
All media outlets, from the
largest metropolitan newspaper
to the local dailies, have got toreport the whole truth. For the years
that I have been with The Pride,
I have experienced the good, the
bad and the ugly that comes with
covering events that happen on
campus. True journalism seeks
the whole story and reveals it accurately and ethically.
Journalists often feel confused
or threatened by the concept of
revealing sensitive or controversial information, but those in the
business o f reporting truth must
do just that.
As the editor of the Opinion
section, I encourage the students,
staff, faculty and community to
report truths by writing Letters
to the Editor ad-
readers

important and
worthy o f exploration. Our

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

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to
$100 for parking in a reserved
spot. Revenue from the tickets
that are issued does not go back
into the parking system, but
rather to San Diego County for
various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and
carpools.
The repeal rate for parking
tickets is around 80 percent,
meaning that only 20 percent
o f the contested tickets actually
P ARKING,frompage 1
result in a fine. There is a 21-day
grace period during which students have the chance to contest
the ticket. After appealing, the
contestation will go in front o f an
appeal board, which is made up
o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system.
It normally takes six to eight
weeks to receive a reply, after
which time the ticket will either
be dismissed or upheld. I f the
ticket is upheld then you have an
option for a second level hearing.
In other words, tickets can be
appealed twice.
I f students drop classes or dis-
enroll, the parking institution will
consider refunding your parking
pass on a pro-rated scale. Many
students are unaware o f this and
simply throw their passes away
not knowing that they might be
eligible for a refund.
Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking.
O n the site there is information
concerning future plans o f action
including expansion and parking
pass increases. I t is also a good
forum in which to appeal parking
tickets.
donated by Geico, providing the
college with two $5,000 scholarships each year to be continually
funded.
Regarding how cuts will affect
faculty, Guseman said that, " No
tenured or track faculty will be
released. Because we're offering
fewer sections, we may use fewer
adjuncts," including those faculty
who have been teaching less than
two years, typically teaching one
or two classes. "We have some
excellent adjunct faculty, and our
desire is to keep those," he said.
Despite budget reductions,
the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed
by January 2006, will not be
threatened.
Funding for the
building comes from a different
budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has
always been protected under the
Governor's economic stimulus
plan," Guseman said.
BUSINESS, from page 1
ing fewer opportunities to attend
conferences and seminars. This
will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the
cutting edge o f their field.
"Faculty will have to delay
some things they'd like to do for
a year," Guseman said.
Guseman
characterized
expected budget cuts as a " bump
in the road," saying: "We want to
minimize any long-term damage.
We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't
want to make some decisions that
will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future."
Rather than focusing purely
on cutting costs, the college will
generate additional revenues.
The college has already had
some success in such efforts,
Guseman said. " The business
community really does realize
the importance o f having quality
education."
One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for
companies hosting students in
the college's "senior experience"
program - a program allowing students to collaborate on
projects with businesses in the
community. Additional revenues

According to an election tally

in the four-day election. With
over 7,000 students at Cal State

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

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

clean the tables where students
eat, inside and outside o f the

They clean the pay
phones, receivers and mouth
pieces alike, not forgetting the
trashcans and recycling bins the
campus community also uses.
They help in keeping the Cal
State campus clean.
George Carlson, the first
facilities director at CSUSM
initiated and supported the
Transition Program in 1994 - a
program involving emotionally
or physically disabled students
who learn skills to become more
productive in personal and social
situations.
Currently, Chuck
Walden,
facilities
director,
supports the program.
The students seen working in
teams around campus and eating
lunch next to you in the Dome are
part o f the Transition Program.
The program is involved with
Vista Unified School District
teachers Steve Molina and Dora
Stabinski. The program also
works in conjunction with the
CSUSM facilities department,
and Lead Custodian Carl
Hanson. Hanson helps over see
the program and works closely
with the ten students.

teachers, Molina, Stabinski and Independent Living. This course
They all meet around is held during the school semester
and helps them learn functional
living skills.
The students are chosen for the
program, which is comparable
to an internship, based on their
productive level. The students
are paid a stipend, based on
how they follow directions and
their level o f productivity, as
well as the initiative they show.
The program also helps them
mainstream into the real world
and interact socially with some
o f the students and staff on
campus. Some students end up
with the ability to get jobs in the
fast food industry and two o f the
students will soon be working for
the Dome cafeteria.
This program is a " win w in

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

I n the opinion section o f the
March 23rd issue, there was an
article about the ELC that reveals
continued financial hypocrisy
o n the part o f the Pride. It also
represents the typical liberal " tax
and s pend" ideas: We d on't have
enough money to support something, so let's make the students
pay for it.
We can save the ELC for j ust 4
dollars a semester, this is true.
But I think w e're missing the
point here.

to pay additional fees for a

who complain about increased
parking fees are the same people
who push us to pay more for the
ELC. The difference between the
issues is only a matter o f degree.
It's called socialism, people.

T HE P RIDE
O PINION
Tuesday, April 6, 2 004
L etters t o t he e ditor
A SI elections
were a s ham
D ear ASI and S tudent Body,
As a candidate who ran in last
year's ASI Student elections,
I must say that this year's A SI
election was a complete joke.
Every position ran with only one
candidate who was unopposed.
I can see several reasons for
this mockery o f t he democratic
process. First, those in charge
o f publicizing a nd e ncouraging
the student body to r un for office
obviously did not do their job.
S ome p articular A SI officers
who stand out in my mind as
ones who have failed the student
body in this election are Erin
Dalman and Erik Roper. These
two were mentioned in a Pride
article a few weeks back as the
individuals responsible for getting the student body informed
and involved in student elections. I t is the j ob o f the Vice
President o f E xternal Affairs to
" inform the students on student
relevant matters," i f ASI elections are not " student relevant,"
p ardon me. Erin Dalman is our
Vice President o f C ommunication and one o f h er duties is to
"publish a m onthly newsletter
to inform the student body o f
p ertinent ASI issues." Well,
I guess the ASI elections this
year were not a " pertinent"
e nough issue to warrant any
communication whatsoever to
the student body! T he elections
this year were a disgrace. I feel
the President o f t he University,
Karen Haynes, must look into it
immediately. A SI's o wn goals
were not attained this year as
far as their own elections are
concerned. According to their
goals outlined in their mission
statement they want " to c reate
a n e nvironment where students
can acquire leadership skills
a nd p articipate in self-governance." My fellow students, this
is not self-governance when ASI
fails to r un a respectable election. Another goal o f ASI is to
" foster a sense o f c ommunity
and pride among all students." I
m ust say that I a m n ot proud o f
m y schools election process this
year and I do not see how anyone
can feel " proud" o f t heir school
when an election o f this magnitude is r un w ith every candidate
running unopposed and with
A SI failing to properly inform
the student body (that is us). I
feel no sense o f c ommunity
when A SI alienates the student
b ody i n this way. Again, I ask
with a sense o f urgency that
P resident K aren Haynes looks
into this matter immediately. I f
I were President o f a prestigious
and growing University, such as
Cal State San Marcos, I would
not allow a matter like this to go
unaddressed.

P hoto b y E lizabeth B aldwin/ T he P ride
ASI announces the results o f t he election t o t he
student body.
$ 4 A SI increase is n ot fair t o students
I n the opinion section o f the
March 23rd issue, there was an
article about the ELC that reveals
continued financial hypocrisy
o n the part o f the Pride. It also
represents the typical liberal " tax
and s pend" ideas: We d on't have
enough money to support something, so let's make the students
pay for it.
We can save the ELC for j ust 4
dollars a semester, this is true.
But I think w e're missing the
point here.
It is wrong for a student to pay
additional fees for a parking
garage he or she will never use
j ust as it is wrong for a student'
Beer Nuts By: chad Spinks
to pay additional fees for a
childcare center he or she will
never need. The same people
who complain about increased
parking fees are the same people
who push us to pay more for the
ELC. The difference between the
issues is only a matter o f degree.
It's called socialism, people.
Here's a thought: I f y ou have
kids, it's Y OUR responsibility to
secure proper care for them. It's
not our job. Take care o f y our
own kids.

then we have wast.ed o ur
ability to tell the "object~ve"
truth.
Perhaps the concept o f objectivity is the t rue p oint o f contention in this scenario. A ny
d ecent postmodemist would
tell you that objectivity is n ot
a realistic concept. I agree t hat
n o m atter w hat is being presented, whether it is statistics
science, or history, there is ~
c omponent o f h uman influence. A s such, there m ust b e a

the interests o f T he Pride.
Now, this h uman c omponent

TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR TSA SEARCHES
BY D EVONNE E DORA
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
As the holidays approach, students gear u p to go b ack h ome.
For those w ho live f urther away,
flying on an airplane is the f astest way to get t here. Traveling by
plane, especially during the holidays, can b e a s tressful t ime. The
Transport Security Administration
(TS A ) has bulked its security and
have even experienced a backlash
from the i nfamous " pat-downs."
To help make the trip smoother,
familiarize yourself now with
TSA's rules and regulations.
In light of the events of Sept.
11, John Pistole, Administrator of the T SA, advocated that
elevated airport security i s crucial. Pistole said, "Nothing is
more important to me than the
safety of the traveling public."
This h as caused more stringent security and check points
at airports which have created
discomforts with travelers. What
students can do to ensure a more
enjoyable trip is to know what
the TSA does and doesn't prohibit. TSA has announced that

The tuition f ee students pay
each semester covers more than
j ust academic classes. Programs
and services CSUSM offers its
students are funded and operated by portions of paid tuition.
Thinking about a gym membership, but worried about the skyhigh monthly rates? A portion
of the University Student Union
(USU) f ee covers a semester long
gym membership to the Clarke
Field House. Included in students'
tuition is an ASI student recreation
f ee of $12 that serves in conjunction with the gym membership at
the Clarke that provides free fitness classes. Students can enjoy
hip-hop, Ashtanga Yoga, cycling,
Jiu-Jitsu, and Zumba salsa lessons
at the Clarke all semester long.
"The goal of ASI events and
programs is never to make a
profit f or ASI, but rather to pro-
vide diverse opportunities f or
all CSUSM students to engage
in campus l ife in ways that help
them experience a sense of community with their fellow students
and feel connected to the university," said Rodger D 'Andréas, Interim Executive Director f or A SI.
The $50 ASI f ee f unds our
favorite semester dance events,
the Masquerade Ball and the
Spring Fling, while also supporting
diverse
programs
made to service the students.
"These f ees f und student
programming provided by the
ASI Board of Directors, Campus Activities Board, Women's
Center, and LGBTQ Pride Center,"
continued
D 'Andréas.
"What ASI does f or the students and what it pays f or is
ASI as the official voice of
the students, according to
the chancellor of the CSU.

CALI FORNICATION
A S EMESTER ABROAD
BY SUSANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
As an exchange student
from England, I did not know
what to expect coming to Cal
State San Marcos or the U.S.
in general. With that said, I
also have to mention that I
have had the time of my life.
The first thing I noticed
is that everything in the
U.S. is way bigger: the cars,
the roads, the malls, stores,
portions of f ood, etc. The
Mexican influence here can
be compared to the Indian
influence back home; we
have loads of Indian food
places while barely any
Mexican places whatsoever.
Cars here are just massive.
Trucks are not at all popular
back home, and having one
would just make it impossible
to find a parking spot as we
parallel p art a lot. I also realized the necessity of having a
car. Back home, public transportation is very good, so you
don't really need a car. Buses,
trains and subways are cheap
and well maintained. They
run regularly, not like the
sprinter which just runs twice
an hour. Here, you can barely
get to a grocery store without a car, while back home,
I 'd rather walk than drive.
Finding a parking spot would
be too much of a hassle.
When I first arrived, I
asked myself, why do I have
to buy books and live with
only girls? In England, I
barely ever needed %to buy
books for school as most
of the course books could
be found iii the library. The
teachers do not expect their
students to buy all the books.
Also, the double spacing
and sourcing is new to me.
We use the Harvard referencing system, not the MLA or
APA. One of my teachers told
me in the beginning of the semester, "Sweetie, your essay
is a bit long, about twice as
long as it has to be." I forgot to double space because
I 'm not used to it and wrote
seven regular pages instead
of seven double spaced!
The dorms here are very
different too, way more expensive and in England we
have co-ed rooms and RAs.
Upon arriving in California, I realized football isn't
soccer here. Sports in the U.S.
are different, as soccer, which
we call football, is essentially
the national sport in England.
American Football and baseball are much bigger, and we
don't even have those in England. .Surfing is also something that is barely possible
with the tiny waves and super
cold water in the British Isles.
The best difference though
is the weather. England is
cold and it rains a lot. (At the
moment i t's 30 or so Fahrenheit in England, so the last
thing I want to do is to go
back.) It is quite different
being able to go to school
in shorts and flip flops here
compared to rubber boots
and coats back in England.
I also like that there is always something to do here:
music festivals, concerts and
great nightlife. The funny
thing is that we can drink
when we are 18 back home
but also have to wait until
we are 18 to drive while here
you have to be 21 to drink but
can drive when you are 16.
Both movies and music
come out here way before
they do at home. I recently
heard that "G6" by Far
East Movement just started playing in clubs back
home, and I also noticed
I cannot buy certain songs
on iTunes here because
they have not been released back home yet and
my account is connected
to my English address.
When I came here, I
didn't think people actually played beerpong. Back
home we only see it as
something Americans do
in teenage movies, and we
never play it. That is something that I for sure will
take with me back home
and do with my friends.
I think my exposure to
all things American has
changed me a lot, and I
will truly miss SoCal. I 've
had the time of my life,
and going on exchange is
the best decision I 've ever
made. I would encourage
anyone to go, as travelling and meeting new
people is just awesome.

University San Marcos has no identity. Quite a bold statement, yes?
Over the last seven years, I
have clicked the student button in every survey that asks
me what my occupation is. I
am looking forward to clicking
that button for a few more years
given the declining rate of necessary classes being provided
at reasonable times. I enjoy being a student and dealing with
the real world on my own terms.
The one thing I do not enjoy is
the daily grind that is campus
life (or lack thereof) at CSUSM.
In my travels as a student, I
have been to many campuses,
both in state and out of state. At
each and every single campus I

athletics take up a good
amount of space. Maybe the
administration has finally real-
ized that they do not need to
cram Cesar Chavez quotes and
statues down our throats to unify
us. Maybe they have finally realized that athletics are the glue
that hold campus pride together
and help new people get stuck in.
What are you going to remember about being a student
at CSUSM when you graduate?
My challenge to you is to
take some time out of your hectic schedule to go out and support the students that give their
hearts to representing CSUSM
week in and week out. Maybe
you might just replace those
memories of walking up and

at a game. You might even find
some Cougar pride in the process.

HIV a wareness and progress greatest gift
ONE petitions to e radicate HIV t ransmission by 2 015
BY DANNY CASTRO
CONTRIBUTOR
We humans tend to try to find
differences between each other
and end up segregating based on
trivial differences. This holiday
season, I decided to see what
kind of differences there are in
the desires of people that are
"different" from one another by
asking them what they want for
Christmas. Granted, my sample is very small, but perhaps
something can be illustrated.
Politics and religion have
proven to be wonderful tools for
discrimination. I 'm aware that
there are more viewpoints than I
am listing and of the increasing
trend against the pigeonholing of
people, but I went with the obvious and went ahead and classified. I asked a conservative what
he wanted for Christmas: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. What
do you want for Christmas, my
liberal friend? Well, my liberal
friend told me she wanted me,
which is probably not so typical
of a liberal. Good luck with that.
I searched for atheists to see
what their Christmas wishes
were, but alas, they are hard to
find these days. I made do with
an agnostic and a Christian. I
thought for a second that maybe
my agnostic friend would tell me
that he didn't know what he wanted for Christmas, but instead he
told me he didn't want anything.
I thought that was what the atheist wanted. And for you, Christian friend, what would you like
f or Jesus's birthday? She wants
gift certificates to go shopping.
I expected more for such an important day. My Jewish friend
told me I was silly for asking
him what he wants for Christmas.
What do a Caucasian, an African American, a Latino, and
a couple of Asian girls have in
common? I don't know, but I
asked them what they want for
Christmas.
My white friend
wants a Hello Kitty bowling ball.
My black friend wants shoes.
My brown friend wants a pedal
board, and my Asian girlfriends
want a car and a surprise, respectively. I guess I do know what
those people have in common after all: they literally have wishes.
Finally, I asked a homosexual
person and a heterosexual person
what they want for Christmas.
, They both said they want sex. I
hope they enjoy safely. According to USAid.gov, it is estimated
that 5,500 people die every day
from AIDS, one third of which
are living in sub-Saharan Africa.
None of us were given the choice
to be born in the circumstances we
were born in—we could have just
as well been born into extreme
poverty. We should put ourselves
in their shoes, and most of them
probably don't even have shoes.
We humans are not so different
from one another after all. The
trivial differences in the kinds of
gifts we want illustrate the trivial
differences we invent to segregate ourselves. We are all human.
It wasn't my intention to
make it seem as if my friends
and their Christmas wishes are
representative of the groups
they identify with—obviously, that isn't the case. I 'll tell
you this though, and the birthday boy said it best: "it is more
blessed to give than to receive."
This holiday season, in the
spirit of giving, you should consider giving your voice to help
those who need it most. 31,000
babies will get HIV in December for Christmas because thenmothers have HIV. We now
have the medicine and treatment
to prevent HIV from spreading
from mother to child. By giving
your voice, you can help get this
treatment to those that need it.
Please visit one.org (www.one.
org/us/actnow/globalfund2010/)
to sign the petition for No
Child Born with HIV By 2015.
The ONE Campaign is made \
up of over two million Americans who have put their voices
together as ONE to keep our
leaders accountable when they
make promises to help the poorest people in the planet. ONE
petitions have raised awareness,
and our voices are being heard.
In 2008, 50,000 ONE members
petitioned
Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon to respond to the
food crisis in developing countries and helped keep the crisis
on the 2008 New York UN Summit agenda. As a result, world
leaders pledged to commit $1.6
billion to fill in the funding gap.
Join Bono and company in
making your voice heard to keep
our government accountable to
its promises by making this a
world where children being born
with HIV is a thing of the past by *
2015. As different as we make
ourselves out to be, if President
George W. Bush and President
Barack Obama can agree on this
issue, I think everyone can too.
The U.S. and all 192 United
Nations member states have already agreed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by
2015 (goals include eradicating
extreme poverty, reducing child
mortality rates, and fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS).
Our voices serve as a reminder
to our leaders that we care about
those issues, that we put ourselves
in the shoes of the poorest people
who cannot even afford shoes,
that we know any one of us could
have been born into such circumstances and that we wouldn't
want that for anyone, and, finally, that we do not think getting
HIV for Christmas is ever OK.

�POST HOLIDAY BLUES
BY REBEKAH GREEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The holiday break is a time
to celebrate. People, for all
sorts of reasons, express excitement over holiday traditions,
family gatherings, or excitement over the Winter Break.
For many though, the holidays
arrive with an unwelcome guest:
the holiday blues. These blues
seem like an issue easily remedied, but in many cases, it can lead
to much more serious problems.
The stress of holiday shopping,
a whirlwind of family gatherings
and the inability to visit family
and can be a couple of factors
that accumulate to holiday blues.
Particularly with students, the
stress of dealing with the end of
the semester added to these issues
can easily contribute to the blues.
A good source to seek for
help f or the holiday blues is the
Student Health & Counseling
Services, which provides counseling and medical services to
students, located across from
campus along Craven Road.
According to The National
Mental Health Association, some
effects of the holiday blues include over-eating, drinking,
sleeping problems and other issues that can cause bodily and
emotional discomfort. A large
amount of those afflicted with
holiday blues experience it following the new year. Psychology Today lists a few ways to
lessen the blues this season including making sure not to set
too busy a schedule especially
in the already hectic times of the
winter season, and remembering that holidays always change
each year, and nothing will stay
the same, therefore try to accommodate new plans/activities
f or the winter bjeak each year.
There are plenty of ways to
get involved during the holidays too: charity events, local
Christmas events, and many
forms of community service.

A survey of classes that promote social awareness and life enjoyment
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Many students are leaving
CSUSM soon, but have not fulfilled all their graduation requirements. Before they step into
the "real" world, here are some
classes that stimulate the mind
and propel them toward graduation day. Each class is followed,
in parentheses, by the undergraduate requirement it fulfills.
Philosophy 110: Critical Thinking (A3)
Philosophy 110 explores approaches to nature and logic as
well as rational arguments and
fallacies used in everyday conversations. This class makes one
think about different ways people
argue and how they cannot really support their arguments.
GES 105: Intro to Physical Science ( Bl)

a conceptual viewpoint to differ- embrace the way women have
ent aspects of physical science. developed modern day society.
FMST 100: Intro to Cinema ( CI)
Intro to Cinema is a fine art
requirement class. It is one of
the eleven class options CSUSM
offers in fine arts. The class explores the four elements of cinema: categories, structures, theories and production of cinema.
This is a class for film junkies
and people interested in learning about the world of movies.
WMST 205: Gender & Identity
in Pop Culture and the Media
(C2)
This women's studies class
surveys the way pop culture
and the media have shaped
gender roles, sexuality and
ECON 202: Principles of Macroeconomics (D)
Economics courses are not
only for business majors. We live
in a capitalist country, so to make it
in society, you need to understand
the relationship between the U.S.
economy and the world. Principles of Macroeconomics may
not be everyone's "cup of tea,"
but this class will help you learn
about gross domestic products
(GDP), inflation, unemployment,
monetary policies and deficits.
ASTR 342: Elements of Astronomy (BB Math or Science)
Elements of Astronomy counts
as an upper division math or sci-
ence graduation requirement. The
course examines human knowledge of the solar systems, galaxies,
and their relationships to Earth.
ANTH 380: Current Archaeology (DD Social Science)
This anthropology course
delves into one anthropological subdivision: archaeology.
Elements of Current Archaeology explores local archaeological sites and indigenous culture. This class piques the
interest of people who would
like to connect modern society
with our biological ancestors.
PSYC 330: Developmental
Psychology: Infant/Child (DD
Social Science)
Most students may one day
have children. It would be a
great idea to start learning about
children now. This upper division psychology class explores
the aspects of physical and emo-
tional development of a child
from conception to early life.
HIST 347: California History
( DGGov)
This history course provides an
in depth look at different periods
in the history of the Golden State.
This includes periods of Spanish,
Mexican and U.S. governance.
The course also covers each government's relationship with the
original inhabitants of this land.
TA 301: Intro to Acting
This is a three-unit course that
may be repeated for up to nine
units. Intro to Acting is a small
class that allows the student to
practice basic acting techniques
and bring out their inner "drama
king/queen." During the semester, the student has to prepare their
own monologue and scene to perform in front of the class. This is a
course for those of us who always
dreamed of being in the spotlight .

TO COMMUTE OR NOT TO COMMUTE?
I A M A STUDENT A ND A COMMUTER
BY DEVONNE EDORA
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Students recognize CSUSM
a
commuter
school.
Our school's on-campus housing at the University Village
Apartments (UVA) is only able to
accommodate a total of about 500600 students, from a total student
body of about 9,142. Obviously, a
great number of students end up
having to commute to campus almost everyday. Luckily, students
live in a wide variety of off-campus housing. Living in San Marcos isn't always the best financial
choice for a student. So, commuting to school i s the way to go.
Others may believe that commuting is hard for a variety of
reasons. I d on't think it takes anything away from being a college
student. I got the chance to talk
with two commuters and asked
them what they thought about
CSUSM's commuter campus. I
spoke with Lia Alvarez, a sophomore who commutes from Fallbrook Monday through Thursday.
Alvarez's schedule getting to
school consists of waking up at
5 a.m. dropping off her daughter by 6, and trying to make the
train that will transfer her to the
Sprinter arriving at CSUSM. I
as
asked her why she didn't opt to
drive to school. She replied, "I
could drive [to CSUSM] and it
would take me about an hour, but
I don't like driving." Especially
if her husband isn't on deployment, Alvarez's only option is
to take the train/Sprinter route
to get to school. Downsides to
commuting are that she has to
be on schedule with everything.
"If you miss the 306, you have
to wait a long time [for the next]
to come and you're going to be
late," Alvarez said. Students can
take the Breeze bus, but it only
comes twice every hour, compelling students to travel on foot to
reach campus. While to some,
this commute may seem tedious,
a good amount of students do
take the Sprinter to school. Alvarez said that she sees a "lot of
students from Palomar and Mira
Costa, around 10-15 students, and
about 25 students from CSUSM."
Jilliane Douglas, .currently a
junior, also commutes. She had
previously lived on campus.
Driving from San Diego twice a
week, Douglas describes some of
her experiences switching from
San Marcos living to commuting. "[Commuting] makes me go
to school more, because I have to
make that conscious decision to
go class. If I don't go to my first
class, it's probably likely I won't
go to my next one." Douglas
also commented that commuting
to school hasn't affected her involvement on campus. In actuality, she believes that it has done
the opposite. "Honestly; I 'm more
involved with the campus. I 'm
going to participate in the Triathlon through the Clarke, and I 'm
interested in joining a sorority,"
Douglas said. "Living on campus—I took it for granted. I felt
living on campus was the same
feeling of being on campus."
In comparison to other colleges, this amount of commuting to school appears to be going against what it is to "go to
college." Making the drive everyday and being far away from
campus events can make it seem
like you're not getting the a
complete "college experience."
Commuting instills a type of discipline that is taken for granted
when students live on campus.
Interestingly, no one mentioned the perks of living off
campus, such as not having to
share a bedroom or bathroom
with anyone, doing laundry without quarters, and no one telling
you to be quiet after 10 p.m. Tedious or not, commuting can still
work. Whoever says otherwise
doesn't dictate what is and should
be your college experience.

SAN MARCOS
�M YSTERIOUS CAMPUS S PORTS ARENA
WHEN WILL THE NEW FACILITY OPEN I TS DOORS?
BY MICHAEL RAWSON

spent forty days
waiting f or the world to
stop raining. But at least he
knew it would be forty days.
Our baseball and softball
teams are getting their own
home on campus, but it looks
like the agonizing cycle of waiting begins when the date of
its arrival remains a mystery.
Cougar sports fans are used
to being spectators away f rom
school. The baseball and softball teams have spent their first
few seasons playing at off-campus sites, like San Marcos High
school. The women's softball
field opened in time f or spring
2010 and the baseball team will
open competition on their home
field in 2011. Meanwhile, the
multipurpose arena f or basketball and volleyball will open
at a date more mysterious,
than an Agatha Christie novel.
The man who might hold
the answer, CSUSM Athletic
Director Tom Seitz, was unavailable f or comment by the
time The Pride went to print.
In an interview with the
North County Times in January
of this year, Seitz prophesized
some things but also came off
vague on the indoor arena, which
the article explained construction will begin in 2010-11. In
the interview, Seitz talked about
his desire to start m en's and
women's basketball teams, along
Volleyball coach, Sarah Güstin, she had no idea when the
arena might come to b e. Women's
basketball coach, Sheri Jennum,
said she did not think about the
new facility because it " won't b e

be
completely
uninformed
about their f uture home court.

asked Seitz about the new sports
facilities, Seitz quoted the total

with a women's volleyball team.
In April, students voted in
favor of a $60 tuition increase
devoted to athletic fees over
the next two years in efforts to
welcome the new sports. Now,
those squads have coaches and
scheduled
games.
Strange-
for the whole enchilada at an estimated $50 million. Seitz said,
"We d on't have time to wait f or
that much to be raised...getting
the softball field done will show
people that we are moving forward and are able to complete
projects and get things done."
It's EASY, It's Y ear Round.

built, as we understand, f or at least
a year or two." And m en's basketball coach, Jim Saia, offered the
most curious testimony of all:
"Hopefully, i t's a matter of when,
and not i f, the arena comes."
In an email, Public Information
Director f or CSUSM, Margaret
Lutz said that "[a]n arena would
be a terrific addition to our campus and we are currently exploring the possibilities of building
one. However, there are no formal
plans nor a concrete timeline currently in place f or construction."
Could it be that the new home
of basketball and volleyball
might still be in doubt? According to Tom Seitz, i t's unlikely.
Since taking over as athletic director in July 2009, he has sent
the already thriving athletic program into overdrive. An affiliate
minor league baseball club of the
San Diego Padres had been considering C SUSM's baseball home
as a possible stadium, but after
the team stalled, Seitz helped
make the decision go forward
with a much needed field f or the
Cougars. San Marcos sports seem
destined to soon compete at the
NCAA Division II level. The
softball field is a successful operation. The new basketball and
volleyball teams are in motion—
they j ust d on't have a home.
How long will it be before they do? N o one seems
to know, and it will undoubtedly be more than forty days.
But the Cougar arena seems
unlikely to end u p underwater.

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

Cramming late into the night, drinking gallons of coffee to stay up, trying to review those last few chapters
- sound familiar? These days are soon
upon us with finals week right around
the corner. With tons of studying to
come, we will all be looking for ways
to make it easier and more efficient.
This semester, don't bother with
making or carrying around tons of paper'flashcards in a thick stack. ACE
Flashcards from Apple is here to help.
Made by Agile Partners, the application
can easily be found on their website,
agilepartners .com/apps/aceflashcards/
or in the iTunes store for 99 cents.
There are quite a few fiashcard applications out there but none that have
as many helpful features as ACE. With
a built in English dictionary you don't
have to look far for the definition of any
word. You just type in the vocabulary
word you want and ACE will automati-
cally put the definition on the back. It
will save you the time and hassle of having to write out every definition. You can
even email fiashcard decks» to friends.
ACE Flashcards are a great studying tool for a wide range of subjects.
They are not only easy to use but
also extremely efficient. The application comes preloaded with Spanish animals, U.S. capitals, and sample
vocabulary flashcards. It might be
kind of corny, but the best part is the
"shake-to-shuffle" f eature/By shaking
your iPhone the deck shuffles itself.
Save yourself the precious time
this semester and dump the old ways
of cramming. ACE Flashcards will
be amaze you with all the cool features it has to offer and by how fast
your studying will get accomplished.

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

Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2010
came and went, and now the shopping
madness left many discount shelves empty.
In order to fix those last minute jams,
several places and methods can help you.
Re-gifting is an inexpensive way to put
the useless into use. People gave some
presents out of good cheer, but sadly, you
could not use in your lifestyle. Instead
of letting them gather dust in storage,
simply wrap the items up for ones you
know may need them. It is a green solution where you save time, money, space
and probably some trees along the way.
On the subject of saving money, thrift
stores are also cheap solutions for gifts.
A donated necklace or fishing rod might
be what you have been looking for.
The Goodwill in San Diego, there are
15 locations to purchase and donate items.
Several other non-profit groups have their
own thrift stores in the area. Not only can
you find gifts, but also you help some of
the unfortunate residents in the county.
When it is a challenge to find an exact
present for someone, buying a gift card is
an easy option. It allows the receiver to
buy what they want with the money that
is in the card within the designated store.
Many stores, including some grocery and
online ones provide gift cards for shoppers. Places like Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons
and Wal-Mart carry a wide variety of gift
cards. Just stop by to check out the choices.
If you do not have time to buy a gift
card, checks and cash are good backups. It is might be better just to let
gift recipients choose what they want.
For those who will be hosting parties and/or fixing up the place for the
holiday, affordable decorations are available.
Dollar Tree, a money-saving
branch of stores, has 12 locations within
a 25-mile radius of San Marcos where
most of the stock is only a dollar each.
They also deliver bulk orders f rom their
website to those 12 locations, if requested.
You can use any of the given options not
only work for the holiday seasons, but
also for any celebration like birthdays, anniversaries, parties and other festivities.

"Inception" (PG13)
Christopher Nolan's borderline genius film that delves into the way a human mind functions while deep in sleep is finally released on DVD and Blu-ray today. The film follows
a group of dream extractors, led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), as they take on a life-altering heist that mvolves planting an idea in someone's mind. Offered his only chance of
redemption, Cobb risks his own sanity and grasp on reality to succeed in pulling off the
perfect inception. Nolan artfully skews reality with the unconscious landscape, causing
you to question everything that you think you know. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio,
Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe,
Tom Hardy, and Michael Cain.
"Shrek Forever After" (PG)
Shrek is back in the fourth, and final, film of the Shrek franchise. Bored with domestic life, Shrek (Mike Myers) longs for
the days when he was a feared ogre. After he is coerced into signing a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek is thrown into an
alternate reality where Rumpelstiltskin is King, ogres are hunted, Far Far Away is a shell of what it once was, and where he
had never met Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy), or Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas). "Shrek Forever After" fails to match the comedic gold of the first two Shrek films but it succeeds in surpassing the third, continuing to show
an evolution in Shrek's character. While funny, "Shrek Forever After" relies a little too heavily on pop culture references
and songs for all of the comedic relief. New to the franchise are actors such as John Hamm and Jane Lynch.
"Boy Meets World: The Complete Fourth Season" (NR)
Want to relive your childhood? The fourth season of "Boy Meets World" is the perfect answer to the nostalgia you may be
feeling now that finals creeping closer. The show follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and the life lessons he learns while
growing from a young boy to a grown adult, orchestrating college life and marriage. With his best friend, Shawn (Rider
Strong), his older brother Eric (Will Friedle), his childhood sweetheart and future wife, Topanga (Danielle Fishel), and
his mentor, Mr. Feeney (William Daniels), Cory slowly learns how to be an adult without losing the playful innocence of
childhood.

BLACKSW\N
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
When it comes to Darren Aronofsky ("The Wrestler;' "Requiem for a Dream," and "Pi") ,
regardless of the genre, you know exactly what sort of film you'll be walking into; it will
be intelligent, passionate, brutal, beautiful, and raw. With each film, Aronofsky continues
** to deliver, and "Black Swan" only further ups the ante. Within the competitive and physically abusive world ofprofessional ballet, Aronofsky poses a constructed reality that just
may be more truthful than that which is considered real outside of the frame. Channeling
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," the psychologically disturbing "Black Swan" will
leave you stunned, stuttering out pieced together fragments of your shattered thoughts.
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a dedicated and poised dancer with the New York City
Ballet Company who pushes her body and her mind to the limit to be her best. Delicate and childlike, Nina is a perfectionist who still lives with her overbearing mother
(Barbara Hershey), while frozen in a ten year old's bedroom. After Thomas (Vincent
Cassel), the company director, forces the company's star (Winona Ryder) into retirement, a new star is needed to play the dual role of the Swan Queen for the new

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

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

there are solutions to preparing for

risers), then layer down as the day

statement. Often, it feels as though

not be surprising to find flip-flops

days we receive a much needed,

you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are

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

On Nov. 18, Steven Greene
represented CSUSM at the Red
Dull Barmaster Cunipctitiun held
at Beachwood in Pacific Beach.
The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and
UCSD where college students are
chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending.
Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he
only had two aims: "To make
sure everyone has a great time,"
and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM."
Greene did his best to take
home the title for CSUSM but
came second to Ryan Neville
from SDSU. Greene did have a
large fan club cheering him on
through the night. The CSUSM
crowd had green bracelets representing our university and
many were dressed in t-shirts
with Greene's face on them.
Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf
matching m ustaches.
The competing barmasters
served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the
competition was held. Most of
the crowd was there to cheer for
their university, and booze flowed
through out the night until the
competition ended at midnight.

Sam Zien, better known as "Sam the
Cooking Guy," came to San Diego on Nov.
16 and spoke at the Jewish Community Center. The talk covered his life, his background,
his experience being on television, and how
he reached his current level of success.
At first, he was very unsure of his life
path. "I never knew what I wanted to
do," Zien said. As a result, he followed
in the footsteps of his older brother,
picked the same major, and went to the
same school. After graduating, he found

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

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

Thanksgiving holiday, make sure
you drop by the Farmer's Market
that will be open the day before
Thanksgiving. It's a good way
to bypass crowds at the market
while still getting all your favorite fall foods and goodies. Go
with friends and plan a dinner
with the fresh locally grown produce you buy. It's right here on
campus in parking lot B, from 1
p.m. - 6 p.m. Either way, get creative, whether you are a student

just can't get home for the break,
Thanksgiving can still be a great
time of year for college students.

By finishing in the top-30
overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status.
Leading the way was Cady
Villarreal. An Ail-American last
season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race
this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running
18:18 to place 8th in the field.
Second on the team was
Kelly Thompson who placed
15th at 18:30. Thompson, a
sophomore who led CSUSM to
a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has
proven time and again that she
will come through at big meets,
and she did so on Saturday.
In 2009, Thompson was the
wild card that keyed CSUSM's
national championship. In 2010,
that honor belongs to Carol

While Schryver was expected to
be in the team's top-five runners,
for hei* to finish third on the team
and in the overall top-20 was a
huge boost to Coach Scott's team.
Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been
the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36.
Finally,
newcomer
Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way
from Maryland, Cornwell took
29th in the field, and when she
crossed the finish line at 18:47,
the team victory was secured.
Also competing for the Cougars
were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26)
and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29).
"In professional sports, the
hardest thing to do is repeat. The
next hardest thing is to be ranked
first and win," commented Coach
Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot,
and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them."

"I'm Still Here" (NR)
In Casey Affleck's directorial debut comes a questionably strange
documentary about Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix. The
film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from
acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP.
Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing
victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability,
but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck
and Phoenix take you on.

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

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

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

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

few technical difficulties started
before the event could proceed.
The
contestants
were
judged
on
three
rounds.
Round one consisted of introducing the contestants and their
Alpha Chi coaches. Enrique Iglesias's song " I Like I t" played during Mr. Italy's (Brandon Barnes)
intro. Some of the .highlights of
the introduction round were Mr.
U.S.A's (Garrett Yack) introduction with Miley Cyrus's "Party in
the U.S.A.," Mr. Ireland's (Nick
Bowser) j ig and Mr. A frica's
(Ashton Harvey) backdrop photo.
During round two of the
competition, the contestants presented themselves in their best
"formal wear." Alpha Chi emcees asked the participants numerous questions and the boys
were graded on their responses.
Cameron Mclaws (Mr. Scotland)
was asked what he would do if
he won the lottery. He answered,
" I would give most of the money to my parents, since they are
great supporters of mine and
travel with the rest." Justin Mon-
tes (Mr. Jamaica) was asked to
use three adjectives to describe
himself to which he responded,
"Short, dark and handsome."
Mr. Australia (Ken Lalonde)
presented himself in his military attire and responded to the
question, "What is the biggest
goal you have accomplished?"
Round three displayed each
person's talent. The contestants
proved to be stiff competition
to each other. Each talent was
a mixture of funny and sweet.
Many of the talents consisted

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

¡PHONE APPS FOR BUSY STUDENTS
TAKING A LOOK AT FIVE O F THE MOST USEFUL APPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
P RIDE STAFF WRITER
As the iPhone's popularity
continues to grow, so does the
need f or apps that serve a wider
variety of users. With a wealth of
apps and f unctions, the iPhone's
r ole in the student l ife has become an extension of the laptop f or some and a mere device
to text friends f or others. While
making the most of the device's
social capabilities is important,
the iPhone o ffers so many apps
that the most u seful ones f or
students o ften get overlooked.
The price of these apps ranges
f rom f ree to a round$10. Although
most professors w on't allow the
use of phones in class, these apps
can be u seful outside the classroom to further enhance a student's learning habits or change
and email a text document when
a laptop has been left at home.
H ere's a list of the most useful apps f or students on campus.
Evernote- Find yourself needing an easier way to organize,
short memos? Evernote is a
popular app that allows the user
to make a quick text note, attach a web page, record a voice
memo, take a photo, or take a
screenshot. The app gives you the
ability to add a tag to the note,
making the selection easy to find
when searched for. Price: Free
JotNot Scanner Pro- The
dream of scanning papers and
keeping them in your pocket is
now a reality with JotNot. This
app detects the size and lighting of papers to maximize its
visibility f or later viewing. If
you ever wanted to copy a page
out of a library book without
checking it out, JotNot makes
it faster than ever. Price: $0.99
iStudiez Pro- Managing dead-
lines and class schedules can be
a difficult task f or any student.
This app takes charge of the hectic student life and organizes it
into an easy to navigate calendar
and planner. From labs to study
groups, iStudiez Pro keeps your
assignments and school schedule neat and tidy. Price: $2.99
AirSharing- One of the biggest
concerns on presentation day is
losing the tiny USB device carrying all your information. AirSharing fixes that by turning your
iPhone into a document storage
device, allowing you to take your
files where ever you go without
the need f or keeping track of another USB drive. Price: $2.99
Quickoffice Connect Mobile
Suite- Although i t's the most
expensive on the list, Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is
one of the most u seful apps f or
students. Forget about lugging
around the laptop, this app gives
you the option of opening, creating, and making revisions to Microsoft Office documents using a
number of file extensions. Once
y ou're finished, y ou're given
the option of sending the document out as an email. Price: $9.99

Annual event on campus to help students quit smoking
BY SUZANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Student Health and Counseling Services is hosting an event
on campus at Kellog Library Plaza on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 11
a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the
American Cancer Society's 35th
Annual Great American Smokeout. The Smokeout is a nationwide
event for smokers that aims to inform and encourage people to stop
smoking and live a healthier life.
There are many Great American Smokeout events held
throughout California. CSUSM is
one of many Californian universities to host an event and CSUSM
is also one of many smoke-free
universities, where smoking
is limited to designated areas.
With more than 12 million
deaths since 1974 and an estimated 400,000 deaths a year, tobacco use is the largest preventable
cause of death in the country. According to The American Cancer
Society, 30 percent of all cancer
deaths are related to smoking.
Their statistics also claim that
3,400 nonsmokers die each year
f rom being exposed to smoke,
known as secondhand smoking.
The Great American Smokeout became a nationwide event
in 1977 and has since brought
forward many tobacco related issues and helped start a revolution
against tobacco and smoking. The
annual event started in 1971 when
Arthur P. Mullaney suggested
people stop smoking for one day
and give the money they would
have spent on cigarettes to a high
school fund. The second event f uelling the development of today's
Great American Smokeout was in
1974 when Lynn R. Smith started
the first "Don't Smoke Day" in
Minnesota. Today, smoking is
banned in many public places,
and there is raised awareness of
how harmful smoking can be.
Anti-tobacco
organizations
and individuals have helped the
fight against tobacco use in many
ways. One of the latest big changes in the market is the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act, which was signed
into law in 2009. That gave the
FDA regulatory control over
the tobacco industry's marketing practices, in hopes of keeping tobacco related products and
commercials away from children.
To participate in the event on
campus, all you need is a commitment to quit or to give up
smoking for a day. If you are a
nonsmoker, you can sign up to
be a grassroots advocate and help
create a smoke-free environment
and smoke-free communities.
Gabriel Pena, a student at
CSUSM, said of the Smokeout,
"I have never heard of the event
before, but I think it sounds
cool that they help people quit
smoking. It is so bad for you."
If you are ready for the challenge to put out your last cigarette, the American Cancer
Society has self-help guides
and support for those wanting to quit on their website.
If you are not there yet and not
totally ready, the event supports
smokers to at least think about
the consequences and try to not
smoke for the day the event is held.

�THE PRIDE'S GLIDE TO FOOTBALL
FOR THOSE WHO JUST DON'T KNOW
PHOTO COURTESY OF PHOTOBLOG.STATESMAN.COM
BY TORIA BODDEN
FEATURES EDITOR
Here at C SUSM, we have no
football team. Y ou've probably
noticed. T here's no doubt that we
have some great sports teams dedicated soccer players, neversay-"die" track and field people,
even a champion surf team. We
j ust d on't happen to have an organized football department.
But woe unto you if you think
that means there's no football on
campus. The yearly CSUSM Intramural Football Championships
j ust barely came to a conclusion. There was m ud. There was
glory. At, least a couple people
got kicked in the shins. All in
all, that's a great sporting event.
But what about football f or
people who are n ot, shall we
say, football-inclined? I admit,
when I watch the commentators on TV do all those " X"s and
" 0"s to explain strategy, it looks
to me like Salvador Dali playing
tic-tac-toe. How do you follow
the game when all you see are
people running back and forth
and occasionally hitting each
other? Good news. What follows
is a guide to football f or people
who d on't understand fdbtball.
Teams are on a field. I 'll save
you the in-depth description of
this since I 'm sure y ou've seen
one in person or in the movies.
The field is divided into five-yard
sections by lines. Those big numbers you see indicate how close
said line is to the goal post on
each end. On one side, we have
the o ffense. You can tell who
they are because one of them has
the ball. The guy who throws the
ball is the quarterback. The football position naming folks were
big fans of the word "back":
quarterbacks, halfbacks, fullbacks, etc. In f act, it would appear t hey're big fans of fractions
as well. Anyway, let's not get
too caught up in the names. The
main point: a center throws the
ball between his legs backwards
to the quarterback. I 'm not making this up. The quarterback then
throws the ball to a halfback or a
wide receiver. Maybe some other
players, too. Honestly, it could
be anybody. I c an't really tell,
and I 'm writing f rom personal
observation and Google. Hopefully, the "somebody" is on the
quarterback's team. If h e's not,
i t's called an interception, meaning someone f rom the other side
intercepted the ball. You can tell
when an interception happens, because there will usually be a lot of
angry people on and off the field,
and the coach of the offense team
will appear to be cussing. He may
appear to be cussing quite a i nt.

Opposite the offense, you have
the defense. You can tell when
t hey're playing because usually
two members of the crowd will
hold up a letter " D" and a cardboard f ence. I 'm not making
this u p, either. Also, the defense
is easy to spot since they d on't
have the ball, and they d on't look
too happy about it. Everyone on this side is trying
to stop the offense f rom
moving the ball towards
the defense's goal post.
One could even say t hey're
defending it, har har har.
This can involve several
types of shenanigans, including knocking over the
guy who catches the ball,
knocking over the guy who
throws the ball, and trying
to keep guys f rom catching the ball by entrapping
them in bear hugs. Football
seems to me a pretty loving sport, all in all, with
the amount of hugging.
So what's the point?
mm
With the hugging and
knocking down, or "tack-
1
wmEBBm
ling" f or terminology f undamentalists, and running around?
Players are trying to score. Which
could be said of any sleazy club
on a Saturday night, but in this
case, the offense is trying to run
with the ball to the end of the field
the defense is trying to protect.
When thev reach this end, thev
have made a touchdown. They
will then throw the ball down,
which seems kind of rude since
some poor schmuck will have to
pick it u p, and then they dance
around. I think the game could be
spiced up by randomly dancing
on other parts of the field, but so
far, no team has taken my suggestion. A fter the touchdown, they
can score another few points by
either running the ball through the
touchdown area again, or kicking it through the goal post (the
thing that looks like a square-ish
Y at the end of the field). I guess
this part is so that the kicker on
the team will have something to
contribute to the scoring system,
instead of feeling unimportant
and developing low self-esteem.
I should probably include a
short note about a complex concept I h aven't mentioned yet. If
you ever find yourself stuck with
a football f an, and you have nothing to talk about, j ust mention special teams. I found myself once
on a date with a gentleman who
loved football. Conversation died
out, so I iust said. "How about
the Chargers' special teams, e h?"
I d idn't have to say a thing f or
the rest of the evening . Jn fact, if
you ever want to please a football
f an in your l ife, just give them a
piece of paper that says " ONE
FREE COUPON FOR LETTING
YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIAL
T EAMS." Depending on the
man or lady, this may even b e
better than an engagement ring.
So t hat's it. Sure, there are tons
of subtle nuances, and there may
be a lot of people who d on't agree
with me about the hugging part.
But this should be enough to help
you follow a game if you suddenly look u p and find yourself in
the middle of a football stadium.

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

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

�HOT OFF THE REEL
A REVIEW OF THE REMARKABLE TRUE STORY TURNED MOVIE " 1 2 7 HOURS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"127 Hours" is a triumph of
modern filmmaking, effortlessly
displaying the endless pit of talent within director Danny Boyle
and actor James Franco. Telling the remarkably true story
of Aron Ralston, Boyle blends
heartbreaking fantasy with an
excruciatingly painful reality in a
film that has visual and emotional
resonance. Pulsating with energy,
"127 Hours" traps you beneath a
boulder and keeps you there in
the sweetest of agony as you feel
the crushing weight of desperation and the sharp sting of hope.
Danny Boyle ("Trainspot-
ting," "28 Days Later," and Academy Award winning "Slumdog
Millionaire") and Simon Beaufoy adapted Aron Ralston's autobiography, "Between a Rock
and a Hard Place," bringing
Ralston's amazing experience to
the big screen. Ralston was made
a household name when, while
hiking alone in 2003, he found
his arm trapped beneath a large
boulder, forcing him to amputate
his own forearm with a short,
dull blade. "127 Hours" beautifully brings those long excruciating days Ralston spent trapped,
with limited food and water,
to audiences around the world
as the ultimate survival story.
The way Boyle makes use of
the human senses will linger with
you long after the movie has ended, showcasing his unarguable
talent. Danny Boyle is proof that
long-lasting filmmaking, which
will inspire for decades, is possible within the Hollywood bubble. By the time the film ends you
will feel like you survived with
Ralston and that, together, you
both just accomplished something
no one else in the world ever has.
With your chest constricted from
a feeling you have no name for,
Aron Ralston's story will bury
its way into your mind, acting
as a constant reminder of human
potential and the overwhelming
beauty of the world around us.

Scott Mescudi a.k.a. "Kid
Cudi" released his second fulllength album, Man on the Moon
II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, last
Tuesday. Kid Cudi's first full
length album, Man on the Moon:
The End of Day, sold over 500,000
copies thus far. With his second
album, Cudi picks up where his
debut album left o ff, this time
dealing with fame's downside,
where Cudi meets his evil alter
ego, Mr. Rager. Whereas The End

Rager explores darker schemes
of life. The first single off The
Legend of Mr. Rager is "Erase

Hellogoodbye- Would It Kill
You?- Rocket Science/Wasted
Summer
Forrest Kline is like a phoenix rose out of its ashes. Kline,
the singer and founder of Hellogoodbye, dealt with numerous
lineup changes and stands as the
remaining original member of the
band. After a lawsuit against their
previous record company, Drive
Thru records, and a few more
lineup changes, Hellogoodbye is
ready to start fresh with their second full-length album, Would It
Kill You? The first single off the
album is titled "Getting Old," but
it does not stay true to its name.
The song is as infectious as the
band's 2006 chart topper "Here
(In Your Arms)" from Hellogoodbye's first full length Zombies!
Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!.
The new album is sure to propel the band to the charts again.

Charlie St. Cloud - (PG-13)
Burr Steers directs an adaptation of Ben Sherwood's novel,
The Death and Life of Charlie St.
Cloud. The title character Charlie St. Cloud (Zac Efron) loves
sailing, baseball and his younger
brother, Sam. Charlie graduates
and has a college career ahead of
him, until he and Sam get into a
fatal car accident. Charlie and
Sam die at the scene, but Charlie
is brought back to life in the am-
bulance. He decides to dedicate
his life to a promise he made to
Sam about teaching Sam how to
play baseball. Throughout five
years of his life, Charlie stays in
a world of solitude, until he meets
Tess (Amanda Crew). In the end,
Charlie must decide between

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (PG-13)
Based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim, by Bryan Lee

endures relationship troubles.
Pilgrim seems to go through
women, until he meets Ramona
(Mary Elizabeth Winstead). In
order to win a date with Ramona,
Pilgrim must fight her "seven evil
exes." The comedy film borders
on the surreal side, but is cute
and quirky. It is sure to be a cult
classic. The DVD/Blu-ray features an alternate ending option.

for many prospective voters, especially young people looking

The election forum, held at

After the panel presented both

CSUSM student Nicole Main,

A COMMUNITY O F COURAGE
S tudent v eterans s upporting o ne a nother
BY CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
In 2008, Cal State San Marcos
became one of the newest schools
to feature a veterans center to
support students who are current
or former members of the military. Today, the CSUSM Veterans
Center serves several functions.
The center not only provides
a place for the ever-expanding
population of student veterans to
hang out, but also provides much
needed information on the ben-
efits of being a student veteran.
The United States Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) works
with the CSUSM Veterans Center to help student veterans. The
center serves as an intermediary to guide the process of acquiring benefits from the VA.
The CSUSM Veterans Center
mediates between students and
the VA in order to ensure students get the most help possible.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill,
student vets are eligible to receive help with their tuition and
l^^^ffifi
fees, monthly housing, books,
and supplies. Legislation like the
Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed
easier reintegration of veterans
into schools once their service is
complete. It is available for veterans seeking undergraduate or
graduate degrees, as well as vocational and technical training.
The Veterans Center recruits
veterans as potential students to
CSUSM by setting up booths at
junior colleges and military bases. Their goal is to let veterans
know that CSUSM is a veteran
friendly campus that strives to
help them as much as possible.
The CSUSM Veterans Center also provides information on
veteran life outside of school.
They help student vets find out
what veteran activities are taking place in the local area.
While information is essential,
the Veterans Center serves as a
friendly environment for student
veterans to relax, drink coffee,
watch TV, or surf the web. The
center features a large TV that the
vets use to play some of their favorite movies including "Avatar,"
"The Hurt Locker," "The Dark
Knight," and "Super Troopers."
Student veterans enjoy a movie at University Hour.
When two members
of The Pride staff told me
they wanted to do a mock
debate for the paper, I
raised my eyebrows. I may
have also rolled my eyes.
We've all been inundated
with political information during this election
cycle, and I'm starting to
become a bit indifferent.
You might be, too. However, the issue of immigration is always on the edge
of our consciousness as
San Diegans. When Jillian
and Amy said they wanted
to debate a hypothetical
proposition,
involving
temporary closure of international borders, I gave it
some thought. This issue is
becoming more and more
polarized, and it may be
something we see on our
ballots at some point in
the future. The opinions
included in this debate do
not represent the beliefs of
any staff member at The
Pride, including Jillian and
Amy. They are assuming
roles as part of an exercise,
meant to teach and inform.
To put it another way, they
got sick of all the ugly debates during this election,
so they made an intelligent
one of their own. We've in-

The center is located on the
third floor of Craven Hall. The
Veterans Center is not an official school club; therefore, the
center does not receive an operating budget from CSUSM.
They welcome donations of
anything from DVDs to food.
As the population of student veterans grows, so does this community of men and women eager
to earn their degrees. For more

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

From DEBATE, pg 3
It is illogical for many people
to go about legalizing themselves in the United States because they just can't do it. The
reason they come here is under
hardship, and when the country that suggests freedom and
equality imposes this on people
who just want a better life, it is
a contradiction in and of itself
JK: That is a very good point. And
surprisingly enough, I do agree
with some of them. We should be
a country that does as we claim,
takes in the tired, the weary, the
poor. And I alsoagree that this
is a country of immigrants. Like
every other country in the world,
we should have a system for becoming a citizen of this country.
If you can't follow that system,
you shouldn't be allowed in.
AS: You're right, countries
maintain regulation by imposing laws on anyone who wants
to be a part of that country. That
is not the illogical part. Perhaps what needs to be done is
to create less stringent rules on
what it takes to become a citizen. They just want to come to a
place where they can have a job.
JK: What is America saying to
those countries that these illegal
immigrants are coming from?
What about their own power as
a country to help their tired, their
weary, their poor? I think it's almost undermining them to say
that we offer this great refuge...
If you want to talk about the more
pertinent case in our scenario, of
California, considering this has
to come up. Obviously that is the
more pressing issue as far as illegal immigration. Why aren't we
extending a hand to the Mexican
government? Offering them solutions , you know, money, whatever to help rebuild their government that is failing their people?
AS: Well, although I can't name
specifically the things that this
country does for other countries,
I know based o f f , I don't know,
common knowledge that—we
don't—we're not passive. We are
not a passive country. We don't
stand by and allow for injustices
whether in our country or another. I think i f s unfair to suggest
that America is trying to take
on the problems of the world
because I don't think we are.
JK: I agree. I don't think we're
trying to take on necessarily every single problem of the world,

this point in time, it has been a

have many differing opinions on.
We need to get on the same page.

way we're spending our money.

War and veteran memorials
BY REBEKAH GREENE
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
To celebrate Veteran's Day,
students can take the time to
visit one or two of ijiany memorials spread throughout San
Diego County. Many of these
memorials are well-known tourist spots, while others reside like
hidden gems for the community to discover and appreciate.
With origins dating back to
1914, the Mount Soledad Memorial is one of the more recognizable memorials in San Diego.
The symbolic cross stands at 29
feet and is dedicated to Korean
War veterans. Surrounding the
cross are six walls of black granite, with thousands of memorial
plaques engraved with individual
stories to commemorate war veterans. Mount Soledad Memorial
holds a magnificent view of the
coast, placed high above La Jolla,

to Irving Berlin's "God Bless

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

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

�Highlighting some of the most iconic war films
BY ASHLEY DAY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Goriest War Film: Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Director Steven Spielberg propelled war movies to new heights with his adaptation of the horrific reality of
World War n . This action packed film, starring Tom Hanks as Capt. John H. Miller and an all- star cast (Matt
Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore) set the standard for one of the most graphic battle scenes in a
movie. The first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" begins with the June 6 1944 and Allied troops storming of the beaches of Normandy, France. The worst part of this opening scene is a dying soldier lying on the
ground screaming for his mother while his entrails are falling out of his stomach. "Saving Private Ryan" is
not a movie for the faint hearted. The film wonfiveAcademy Awards.
Honorable Mention: Black Hawk Down (2001)
Best Depiction of the War on Terrorism: The Hurt Locker (2009^
Last March, "The Hurt Locker" scored six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) making Kathryn
Bigelow thefirstfemale director to win Best Picture. Jeremy Renner plays the lead as Sergeant First Class
William James, leader of a highly trained bomb disposal team. Set in the year 2004 in Baghdad, the movie
focuses not on political or social problems, but the hardships of a soldier's tour of duty. Dangerous bomb
diffusion scenes reveal the skill it takes to survive in a place where nobody can be trusted. "The Hurt Locker"
shows the intensity and stress war can put on the soldier.
Honorable Mention: No End In Sight (2007)
Best Romance in a War Film: Gone With The Wind (1939)
"Gone With The Wind" appeared at a time in American history when life in our country was bleak. The country had suffered through the Great Depression and World War II was engulfing all of Europe. The plot of the
film - the tumultuous period of the Civil War - paralleled to the catastrophe Americans were suffering through
during "Gone With The Wind's" release. Thisfilmbecame an instant American classic. Clark Gable (Rhett
Butler) and Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O' Hara) portray one of the most heart wrenching romances in a movie.
O'Hara suffers through losing her status, husbands, innocence and strength, a child, and ultimately, her true
love (Butler).
Honorable Mention: Casablanca (1942)
Least Historically Accurate: The Patriot (2001)
Set in 1776, during the American Revolution, "The Patriot," follows the life of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a French-Indian war hero. Martin lives as a farmer in South Carolina with his seven children. Martin
remembers the brutality of the French-Indian war and decides to remain on the sidelines of the Revolution,
until his family is endangered by British troops. Some of the inconsistencies of this film are a torching of a
church full of people (never happened), slaves being able to enlist in war (never would have happened) and
an unfair exaggeration of British aggression toward Americans. This film did not make as much as it was
projected to at the box office.
Honorable Mention: Pearl Harbor (2001)
Best Philosophical Message in a War Film: Apocalypse Now (1979)
"Apocalypse Now" explores the madness of the Vietnam War. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, "Apocalypse Now" delves into the minds of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) and Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)
during one of the most horrid wars in history. Cpt. Willard is sent to kill an insane Kurtz, but this journey
changes Willard in ways he did not know possible. Coppola explores human nature and the darkness war can
instill on the human mind.
Honorable Mention: All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)

THE FIGHT CONTINUES in Call of Duty: Black OPS
New enhanced technology enables multiplayers to enjoy new missions in a whole new way
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The war rages on as "Call
of Duty: Black Ops" arrives in stores on Nov. 9.
Developer Treyarch and game
publisher Activision brings players back to the Cold War. This
new installment of the "Call
of Duty" game series is a sequel to "Call of Duty: World at
War.*' The game will be available for the PS3, Xbox 360,
Nintendo DS, Wii and PCs.
For the collectors within the
community, the limited Hardened
Edition includes the game in a
metallic case with four special
co-op maps, an exclusive Xbox
Live/PlayStation Network avatar and a medal in a display case.
For the die-hard fans, the limited
Prestige Edition package includes
the Hardened Edition set plus a
remote-controlled vehicle that
looks similar to the new RC-XD
killstreak with its remote. The
Prestige Edition is only available
for Xbox 360 and PS3 systems.
According to the game's official website (www.callofduty.
com/blackops),players have more
options to their gaming experience. Unlike the previous games,
"Black Ops" offers the choice
of changing the looks of the soldiers. It is one of the newest additions in multiplayer game-play.
Other additions include
Theater Mode, wager matches,
and new killstreaks. The re-,
turn of Treyarch also brings
the return of the zombie co-op
mode, where two players fight
an endless army of zombies.
"Call of Duty: World at War"
was the first to have this mode in
the game. In the single-player
campaign feature, gamers follow the path of a Black Ops
member. Players enter the Cold
War into secret missions and international conflicts. Whether it
is an online multiplayer match
or a new chapter of the campaign, "Call of Duty: Black
Ops" is a brand-new way to play.

over 200,000 new cases of breast

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

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

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

An abridged voter guide for the upcoming California state elections
COMPILED BY SANDRA
CHALMERS, JENNA JAUREGUI, AND AMY SALISBURY
In light of the upcoming elections, The Pride compiled short
explications of the state propositions we feel will most directly
affect CSUSM students. To
learn more about the propositions and the groups that support and oppose them, visit
h ttp://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/.
Proposition 19: Legalizes
marijuana under California but
not Federal law. Permits local
governments to regulate and tax
commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana.
Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21
years of age or older to possess,
cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana
would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was
on school grounds, smoking in
public, or in the presence of minors. Prop 19 would still prohibit
driving under the influence, and

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

with 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper that are meant
to represent approximately 100,000 deaths.
Military issues often hit close to home
for CSUSM students, who include several student veterans and military family members. A U.S military veteran who
served in the Vietnam War had the idea
for this event. His goal is to make the
public aware of the number of people
that died during the wars, and as result,
to hopefully promote peace and healing.
If you want to volunteer, get involved, or donate to the event, you
can also email ambri012@cougars.

what kind of positions are available, or
where you can make your donations.
This week, California State University
San Marcos will host an installation commemorating military members and civilians that have perished during the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan. This commemoration, the Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial to
Life, will be held on campus October 2528, and will be sponsored by the Human
Development Club, as well as a co-curricular grant from the USUAB fund, the Cross
Cultural Center, Student Life and Leadership and the Women's Studies Department.

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

�Women's Volleyball coach landsfirsthead coaching job at CSUSM
Sarah Gustin back in SoCal to ignite the program
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
nection to the sport," she said
about her first coaching gig. "I
wanted to give back; I ended
up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure."
From there, things began to fall
into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly.
Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly
led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University
of Indiana. She has also traveled
as a coach to Croatia, leading
an American squad in a global
challenge, and in 2006 served
as the assistant coach for the
USA Junior National A2 team.
Regardless of the exotic and
faraway places in which she has
coached, Gustin is impressed
Some people never in*
tended to become parents.
Some people never intended
to become volleyball coaches.
It
just
happens.
After nearly four perfect years
playing Volleyball for Michigan
State University, in which she
made the all Big-Ten Conference
team three times, Sarah Gustin
suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back
to Southern California in 2000
and signed ojx to be an assistant
coach at Vista High School/Less
than 10 years later, she has been
hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM.
"I really felt a strong con-
lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the
association will be far from easy.
"It'll be tough that first year.
[NAIA teams are] equivalent to
the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of
them could beat Division I teams."
Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of
her. The keys to everything
have been handed over by the
school, including scheduling
games, administrative duties,
and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed
with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool."
Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an
idea of what it will be like.
with what CSUSM has to offer.
"I love it [here]. It's an
easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work."
Speaking
of
recruiting,
consider Gustin the resident
expert in San Marcos. She
also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist.
Her recruiting here will
mostly be done locally, an area
that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her
from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants
to live in Southern California."
Like the other sports programs,
Gustin's Volleyball team will
spend the 2011-12 season as an
NAIA independent. Though the
NAIA is often thought of as the
"I have a very close Mend
who started a [NCAA Division
II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I
said, 'you're crazy, why would
you want to start a program from
scratch?' And then I didn't think
about it until I took the job, but
he called me and said, 'Hey,
crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of."
Likewise,
with
Gustin
on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce
the Cougars' way in 2011.
Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle

Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1.
It was a big contest between
two conference rivals, and while
the Cougars weren't at their best,
they were good enough to win.
CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle
18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks
advantage. The Eagles' defense
saved three balls off the back
line, keeping the contest close.
But the Cougars did manage
to get a pair of shots past, both in
the first half. In the 19th minute,
Shelby Bush was taken down in
the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0.
Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between
defenders, Johnson loaded up and
blasted a shot from about 20 yards
out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net.
The goal is Johnson's 10th
of the season, giving her sole
possession of the CSUSM

"It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the

Paprika (2006)
The late Satoshi Kon released his animated mind-thriller "Paprika" in 2006. Based
off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of
dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and
her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the
dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world.

Karas (2005)
Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural
community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for
the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and
supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film
work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images.
The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko."
Let the Right One In (2008)
The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed
by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band
of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a
vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The
pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection
from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects
it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and
violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary
experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and
vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will
never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year.

AUDITION
The Blair Witch (1999)
The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen
again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this
film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather,
Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in
hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween.

Audition (1999)
Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made.
This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to
slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would
take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your
memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about.
By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture
scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing.

Acting as more of a prequel of the
2007 film of the same name, "Paranormal Activity 2" follows a family that
has a deep connection to the characters
of the first film. While the film delivers
plenty of surprises that will have you
jumping out of your seat, the overall
experience will leave you feeling just as
empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm.
Without spoiling the film's events,
"Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story
of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter
Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian
Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden)

shaken from a mysterious supernatural
force. Each reacting to the unnerving
events differently, the family is slowly

footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds.
It isn't until things get out of control
that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film.
With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity
2" functions in exactly the same way
as the first. You may jump from a few
scenes that are designed to garner that
exact reaction, but by the time the film
is over, you will feel just as disappointed
as you did upon leaving the first film.
The film succeeds in making you tense
and nervous and as long as you can get
past the complete failure of the sudden
ending, you will have a great time being
creeped out by basement doors and dark
staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween.

C S U S M ' s sixth a nnual S tudent M edia Festival
C reative f ilmmakers s hare t heir w ork
BY CHRIS GIACAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This Spring, Cal State San
Marcos will be holding the sixth
annual Student Media Festival.
The Student Media Festival
is a celebration of thefilmsof
the creative minds on campus.
The Visual and Performing Arts
Department hold the event each
spring on campus.
The festival allows students
to use their creative prowess to
produce afilmfor an audience.
Furthermore, the festival highly
encourages students to participate and submit their works for
the chance to gain recognition
from their peers. It also gives
students the opportunity to be
discovered by those in the film
industry seeking new talent.
Many entries will be accepted,
however only a jselect few will
be presented at the festival itself.
The festival grows each year,
so students are encouraged to
polish their films early in order
to increase their chances of being
featured.
The pieces are judged by a
jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include
Best Social Justice Project, Best
Personal Memoir, Best Experi-
mental/ Performance Work, Best
Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such
as Apple Store gift certificates,
computer software and hardware,
and cash prizes.
Students from all majors are
welcome to participate and place
their entry in the festival and are
free to choose their own subjects.
However, thefilmtopics are
dependent on the category they
are competing for. Subjects in
the past have ranged from the
lighthearted such as bowling,
cats, and jabs atfilmproduction
to more serious topics like drugs,
cancer, and foreign culture.
Johnathan Berman of the
Communications Department explains, "What's great about this
festival is that it showcases and
celebrates the creative work of
students from across the campus
and allows us to share this work
with fellow students, friends,
family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals."
The festival is open to the
public and admission is free and
will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival
was hosted by actor Jose Yenque
who has beenfilmedin programs
such as "Law" and Order: S VU,"
"CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film
"Traffic."
The deadline for turning in
films is in the spring, so there is
plenty of time to start working
on entries. The festival will take
place sometime at the end of the
Spring 2011 semester.

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

VOL XXIV NO. 6
In defense of public education
CSUSM s tudents a nd staff r ally t o i nspire v oters
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA
MANAGER
Following the March 4 rallies
earlier this year and demonstrations regarding tuition increases
and slashed funding, activists derT^hursday,
Oct.
7 cided to organize a second date
marked
the
most to allow students, teachers, and
X recent Day of Ac- community members to speak
tion for the national campaign out against budget cuts and other
to defend public education. grievances they believe are hurting the public education system
in California and the nation. The
day was planned specifically to
bring awareness to issues surrounding education in light of this
fall's midterm election season.
CSUSM held its own rally in
defense of public education during U-hour in the free speech
plaza. As students gathered for
the event, protest-themed music
was played over loudspeakers to
inspire emotion and unrest. Students were served free pizza and
heard speeches from CSUSM
Student Body President Susana
Figueroa, CSUSM professor Heidi Breuer, and California State
University Employees Union
CSUSM Chapter President Mike
Geek. The microphone was then
open for students at the rally to
come and share their opinions.
Figueroa appealed to her fellow students in her speech, reminding them that they have a
responsibility to hold state leaders accountable for the promises
they make. Students can make a
difference and form a legacy by
choosing to step up and vote. "As
college students, we are often
devalued although we work so
hard for our education," she said.
"Voting is so easy to do—investigating the issues is the hardest
part, but also the most essential."
Breuer opened her speech by
mentioning the millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds that
were recently granted to the UC
and CSU systems and pointing
out that professors are no longer complaining about furlough
days. "It may
seem like everything
is
fine
now,"
she said to
the students,
"but all is
not
good!"
She compared
the
present state
of public education to the
eye of a hurricane. "We
are in the eye
of our storm,
the storm of
public education. We are
in the middle
of a huge attack. ..
the
chaos is coming." Breuer
said that the
most pressing
issue in the
IILIZE
coming elec-
tion is whether education should
be a privilege, privatized so that
only those with money can attend
school, or a right. "Education
doesn't just benefit you, it benefits
the entire community," she said,
"so tell a friend, register to vote,
and go vote in the Nov. election!"

• l or the first time since
| H 2008,
California
J L State University San
Marcos (CSUSM) is accepting applications from transfer and international students
for the Spring 2011 semester.
California politicians made
repeated drastic cuts to the CSU
educational system budget for
many years. Recently, Governor
Schwarzenegger proposed restoring $305 million to the CSU system. If the California legislature
enacts the proposed budget, there
will be a new influx of students
attending CSUSM this Januaiy.
Last year, over 17,000 prospective students applied for enrollment in CSUSM during the
priority-filing period. This statistic was up 22 percent from student applications for the fall 2009
semester. According to official
school statistics, the number of
transfer applicants has increased
48 percent compared to the transfer applicant rate from fall 2009.
CSUSM is only welcoming certain students for spring
2011. The first students to be
admitted will come from local community colleges such as
Palomar College, Mount San
Jacinto College (MSJC), and
MiraCosta College. Students
transferring from the community
colleges must be ready to start
their upper division coursework.
Prospective students should
have . consecutively attended
Palomar, MSJC or MiraCosta
before applying to CSUSM.
Students looking to be readmitted into CSUSM also have
first priority admissions status.
International or foreign exchange students are also allowed to apply for the spring
2 0tl semester. Students from
countries outside the United
States need a valid F1 visa to
be considered for admission.
CSUSM will not receive
students aspiring to accomplish a second bachelor's degree. They will also not be accepting first time freshmen
or lower division applicants.
CSUSM will know how many
transfer students they can afford
to accept after the California education budget is finalized. Therefore, offers
of admission
into CSUSM
will not be
dispatched
immediately.
If students
are not accepted
for
spring 2011,
they
have
two options
for the fate of their applications.
Transfer or international students may use the spring 2011
applications for the prospect of
getting in during fall 2011, or
they may request to have their
applications rescinded and their
money returned to their pockets.
The deadline for transcripts
to be delivered to academic admission is this Friday, Oct. 15.

really fast. Make sure to
address any issues right
away. Roommates who
reach a mutual understanding of each other's needs
are able to form better relationships. Brian Dawson, housing director at
UVA, encourages students
to "walk in each other's
shoes," when people come
to college. "All they know
is what they've lived at
home, so everyone has
different routines." Living with roommates isn't
easy, but try to be openminded about each other to
avoid any future conflicts.
#2 Figure out what is
"clean." Everyone grew up
in various types of households. Having spilt oatmeal on the counter might
be considered spotless to
some, but filthy to others.
Discuss with one another
what "cleanliness" means
to each person. Does the
carpet need to be vacuumed once a week
or once a month?
If necessary, come
up with a chore list.
Just make sure everyone participates.
Defining
what
cleanliness means
will greatly reduce
any problems and
and Post-It notes
saying,
"Whose
dishes are these?"
#3 Be considerate. Try to be aware
of each other's lifestyles and values.
Coming to college
places students in unfamiliar places, so being polite
to others can go a long
way. "People need to lower
their expectations for what
the other person is doing,
and to raise their expectations for themselves," advises Dawson. Chances are
some roommates will be
blaring Lil' Wayne through
paper-thin walls. Some will
always bring guests over
(especially when you're
studying). Some will be
coming home at the wee
hours of the morning, waking everyone up five hours
earlier than they need to.
No matter how irritating all
that can be, have respect for
your roommates. You need
to be willing to listen and
receptive to change. Figure out a policy on study
schedules, noise levels,
and privacy. In this way,
it is helpful to see what
everyone agrees on and
eases the living situation.
Handling these issues in
an adult manner is a great
skill that proves to be useful even beyond college.
Be patient and respectful to your roommates. Students should be stressing
about 10 page papers, not
unwashed dishes. Don't
expect to become best
friends, but implementing
these tips can at least open
that up as a possibility.

�J ennum looking t o b ring winning ways across t own
Former Palomar women's basketball coach t o start program at CSUSM
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Whfen some people talk
about passion, it might seem
like a cliché or a buzzword.
When Sheri Jennum talks
about passion, you can feel it.
Jennum, the new women's basketball coach, gestures emphatically, explaining how much she
loves her well-lit office, how excited she is to be on the CSUSM
campus, and why she has been
so successful in other positions.
"When it comes to [basketball], I am extremely competitive—it's about having passion."
When you look at her story,
you understand. Jennum has
never been anything but a winner.
She's a member of the Napa High
School hall of fame, once leading
Napa High to a Bay Valley Conference championship. At Fullerton College, she was the Most
Valuable Player of the Southern
California Tournament after an
undefeated season. After transferring to Cai Poly Pomona, she
lead the 1985 team to an NCAA
Division II championship, earning all-tournament team honors.
Her coaching history is no
different. She enjoyed success at several assistant and
head coaching jobs at various
levels before leaving the sport
in 2000 to become a lawyer.
Men's golf finishes
9th in first tournament of fall
But the taste for money and security only lasts for so long when
you love the game like Jennum.
In 2004, she accepted an assistant
job at her Community College
Alma Mater, Fullerton. A year
later she moved on to an assistant
job across town from CSUSM at
Palomar College, where she became the head coach full-time in
2007. Over the last three years, her
teams compiled a record of 74-18,
with an astonishing record in the
Pacific Coast Conference of 40-2.
It is no wonder the administration chose Jennum to lead the
Lady Cougars. Jennum said the
feeling was mutual. "I've had
my eye on the [CSUSM athletic]
program for a long time," she
said, "and it was exciting when
the soccer, softball and baseball
teams got started." When it's
built, the new CSUSM basketball and volleyball arena will
be visible from Jennum's office
window. But as she gazes at the
spot, she notes that it probably
won't be built for "as we understand it at least a year, if not two."
When asked about the possibility of the Cougars playing home games in the Dome
at Palomar College, Jennum almost seems to have not considered the significance of coaching at her old stomping grounds.
My main focus is on day to day
use, on practice sites...but if
[Palomar] will have us, I 'm more
than happy to play anywhere."
Once the first season begins in 2011, will the women's
team play any games on the
same night as the men, as is
traditional in established programs? Jennum isn't sure.
"It's tough to schedule doubleheaders as an independent. [The
Cougars will compete as an NAIA
independent . in 2011.] Teams
don't want to play you in January
or February, because they don't
want to play outside their conference. And it's difficult without a home site. But I have been
talking with [Men's coach] Jim
[Saia] about it, and we'd like to.
I know it's exciting for the fans."
Jennum mentions her focus on
graduation with academic success
and community service. She also
knows Cougar fans expect winning. There's plenty of pressure,
and she'sfinewith it. She recites a
quote by tennis legend Billy Jean
King: "Pressure is privilege."
"I believe that." she said with
a nod. "Because when you are
under pressure, you've put yourself in a situation where you
can win...our first year, we're
going for a championship."

that, about a c ouple other s ites.

the fall on Tuesday, shooting a
solid round three score of 309
to finish in 9th place at the Firestone Grill Cal Poly Invitational.
Competing in afieldwith eight
NCAA teams, the Cougars stayed
competitive with a three-round
total of 921. The tournament
was won by the host school's
"B" team, who shot 865 to defeat the "A" team by two strokes.
Leading the way for the Cougars was Robert Nicanor, who got
his season off to a fantastic start.
Nicanor shot 74 on Tuesday after rounds of 74 and 77 on Monday, giving him a three-round
total of 225, good for 25th place.
Not far behind was sophomore Adam Loran, who tied for
31st with a score of 229. He
shot rounds of 73, 77, and 79.

Johnson's h at trick propels CSUSM to 5-1 victory over Chapman
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Lauren
Johnson's
three
goals in the first 21 minutes
put the game out of reach early, as CSUSM women's soccer cruised to a 5-1 victory at
home over Chapman University.
The #16-ranked Cougars
improve to 6-1-5 on the season. Chapman, a member of
NCAA Division HI, drops to 7-4.
CSUSM came out absolutely
onfireon Saturday, and the team's
first 20 minutes was very likely
the best stretch of soccer that the
home fans have seen this season.
The Cougars got to every loose
ball, won every 50/50 chance,
and played with a tenacity that
overwhelmed their opponent.
As the team has learned this
season though, it's one thing to
dominate play, but it takes something else to translate that into
goals. Today the Cougars did just
that, thanks largely to Johnson.
In thE ninth minute, Taylor Schurman, who was among
the many Cougars that had a
fantastic game, hit a dangerous ball into the box. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and
was eventually poked home by
Johnson to put CSUSM up 1-0.
Not long after, Schurman
once again carried the ball
down the right flank, hitting
another excellent cross into the
box. This time it found Johnson
cleanly, who crushed a shot into
the back of the net to make it 2-0.
Johnson wasted little time
in making it a hat trick - the
first of the season for CSUSM
- taking advantage of a Taylor Ziencina cross and punching it home to make it 3-0.
That would end the first half
scoring, and Chapman came
out with renewed motivation
in the second half, controlling
play for a stretch that result-
ed in a goal by Aimee Evans.
But CSUSM would regain
control and put the contest away
late. In the 71st minute, Ziencina and Breanna Brenton combined for a corner kick goal for
the second straight game, with
Brenton using her height and
aerial skills to get a clean header
off past the Chapman keeper.
And finally, with just 16
seconds left to play, Kelsey
Gunion hit a nice through ball
that found Arielle Cohen, who
•dribbled in one-on-one with
the keeper and slid it by for
her third goal in two games.
Since a two-week mid-season
break, CSUSM has now scored
11 goals in its two games. Prior
to that, the Cougars had scored 3
goals in their previous 6 matches.
The Cougars will be
back in action this Wednesday at San Diego Christian.

Men's soccer returns to action with 2-0 victory over
Soka
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
mmM
HHHHHHH
Playing theirfirstgame in front
of the home crowd in three weeks,
Cougar men's soccer looked sharp
on both offense and defense in a
2-0 victory over Soka University.
CSUSM improves to 6-22 on the season. Soka drops
to 7-5. Both teams' records
also benefitted from the recent
decision of #5-ranked Vanguard University to forfeit its
first six games of the season.
Playing in front of the loud
home crowd on Thursday, the
Cougars controlled play from the
opening whistle, not allowing a
single shot while tallying 28 of
their own and putting 12 on net.
Kevin Ernst earned the shutout in
net for CSUSM, with a huge assist
from his midfield and back line,
who were stout for all 90 minutes.
The Cougars wasted little time
shaking off the rust, taking a 1-0
lead in the second minute. Max
Blumenshine played a long ball
behind the defense, and Warren
Ashcroft ran under it and drove
a solid strike past the keeper
and into the roof of the net.
That score would persist
through the first half, before
CSUSM added the clincher early
in the second. In the 60th minute, Jordan Shadeed collected
a ball in the attacking zone, and
dribbled his way around defenders to the side of the net. Shooting from a sharp angle, Shadeed
hit a rocket into the back of
the net to put his team up 2-0
and ultimately finish the game.
CSUSM will be back in
action at San Diego Christian
this
Wednesday.
�C S U S M THEATER PREVIEW: CHELA, A CTOS, A ND A
THEATER FEST HEAT U P THE HOLIDAYS O N CAMPUS
BY JENNA JAUREGUI
DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
The theater department at
CSUSM is hard at work preparing for its upcoming productions,
anticipating an exciting semester
of fresh, original performances.
Keeping with CSUSM's celebration of cultural diversity, many of
the productions contain a multicultural point of view—exploring
the adversity and achievements
of Hispanic culture. "Given the
mounting anti-immigrant propaganda now being felt by many of
Hispanic descent, this is a time to
bring theatre of consciousness to
the public," Visual and Performing Arts professor Marcos Martinez said of the upcoming shows.
•"As the premier educational institution in North County, CSUSM is
taking the lead in offering theatre
that speaks to issues affecting our
community and our region." The
two main performances this fall
are "Chela," a one-woman show
by comedienne/actress Dulce
Maria Solis, and "Actos," a collection of satirical one-act plays
by renowned director/playwright/
social rights activist Luis Valdez.
"Chela" is a biographical performance that tells the poignant
true story of a young Mexican
woman and the shocking challenges she faces as an immigrant
trapped in a loveless marriage,
struggling to regain her sexuality.
Performed and written by CSUSM
theater alumnus and rising actress
Dulce Maria Solis, this inspiring
production is based on the life of
Solis's own mother. Its powerful
messages are laced with comedy and sorrow, culminating in a
captivating, emotional narrative.
"Actos" portrays the identity struggle, psychological
trauma, and abuse endured by
Mexican-American farmworkers.
The production is based on Valdez's experiences with migrant
workers when he joined Cesar
Chavez in his efforts to educate
and organize farmworkers in
the 1960s. Shown through a satirical lens, these short sketches
use bits of humor to illuminate
powerful social and political critique. Known as "the father of
Chicano theatre in the United
States," Luis Valdez is renowned
for his work in Hollywood
whose credits include the movies "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit."
Come December, the theater department will host a student festival of plays and per-
formances written and acted
entirely by CSUSM students.
Theater student Tricia Bowen
said the plays are "so funny...
it's a great chance to support
your friends and peers, and see
some really entertaining shows."
The student festival includes a
monologue festival, and a play
festival. The p lay festival will
feature two one-act plays written
by students from last semester's
play and screenwriting class—
"Just Passing Through" by Matt
Chewiwie and "The Overnights"
by Samantha Carr—and a capstone project by graduating theater/VPA major Mary Relator,
titled "S-t-a-u-n-c-h Women"—
a cabaret-style show portraying
iconic, fictional, and historical
women and the issues they face.

upcoming theater events at
CSUSM or for advanced reservations, call (760) 750-4137

2000 at the University of San
Diego, and since has grown into
an event that has highlighted and
honored over 1,000 independent
films from all over the world. Taking place in Mission Valley at the
Hazard Center UltraStar Cinema
(7510 Hazard Center Drive, San
Diego), this year's festival will
include over 140 movie screenings from 20 different countries,
and will be attended by over 100
filmmakers and actors, including
John Cho ("Harold and Kumar"
and "Star Trek"), Danny Pudi
("Community"), Ellen Wong
("Scott Pilgrim VS The World"),
and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost").
With panels, workshops, live
music, and the opportunity to
meet filmmakers, The San Diego
Asian Film Festival is the perfect
chance for you to be adventurous
and see some films that maybe
you wouldn't normally try out.
Kicking off the festival will
be the West Coast premiere of
the ambitious martial arts film
"Legend of the Fist," by filmmaker Andrew Lau. Set during
the Second Sino-Japanese War,
it is a story of vengeance and resistance, displaying a dynamic
visual style and incredible martial arts. Closing the festival is
the romantic comedy "Au Revoir
Taipei," written and directed by
Arvin Chen. Spanning just one
night, it tells the story of Kai and
Susie as they find excitement
(including an Asian Four Tops
cover band) and love together
in Taipei. Produced by Wim
Wenders ("Wings of Desire"),
"Au Revoir Taipei" promises to
be the perfect ending of what is
surer to be an amazing festival.
Currently tickets in packs of
four ($34) and ten ($86) can be
purchased online at www.sdaff.
org, and starting Oct. 19, tickets
can be bought at the Mission Valley UltraStar theater's box office.
There are many perks of buying
your tickets online, including
cheaper costs and a special line
that allows you inside before
those who bought at the box office. If you're looking for a morebudget friendly alternative to this
event, allfilmsin the festival playing weekdays at 4 p.m. are free.

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

There is an old Spanish saying
that says, "Between soup and love,
the first is better." Although some
may not take their food preferences
to such extremesf there is no denying the warm pleasure of a bowl of
fragrant, steaming soup on a chilly
autumn evening. Soup can serve as
a light lunch or, when paired with a
sandwich or pasta dish, a filling dinner. It may be easy to break out the
can opener and heat some pre-packaged chowder or broth, but with only
a few more minutes of preparation,
you can enjoy a bowl of homemade
soup custom designed to suit your
taste. A little time on the stove and
your soup will be ready for slurping.
Full of nutritious ingredients and vitamins,
soups are a scrumptious way to stave off winter cold and flu season. There is a reason why
people recommend eating chicken soup when
you get sick! Here is a recipe to get you started.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
Vi avocado, diced
VA cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 can diced tomatoes
1 chopped poblano pepper *
Vegetable or chicken stock
Handful of corn tortilla chips
Shredded cheese
Pour all ingredients except the stock
and chips into a pot and heat on the stove
until warmed. Add stock until desired
consistency. Crumble tortilla chips into
a bowl and ladle soup over the top. Add
shredded cheese over the top and enjoy!
The avocados and black beans in this soup
are nutritional powerhouses. CSUSM health
educator Cathy Nguyen said, "Good sources
of nutrients found in avocados include: beta
carotene, magnesium, Vitamin E, and potassium to name a few." Regarding the health
benefits of black beans, she said, "according
to a research study from Michigan State University in 2003, black beans have the most
antioxidant activity of all flavonoids when
compared to 12 other varieties of dry beans.
Black beans are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and help with digestive disorders."
This soup proves that eating healthy can
be delicious! Ciao, my soup chefs!

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
If you've been to downtown
San Diego within the past two
months, you've probably noticed
the more recent insurgence of
inspired street art to hit our urban landscape. If you have yet
to make a trip to the downtown
area, take a day off and make the
short drive as quickly as possible.
On July 18, 2010, the "Museum
of Contemporary Art" opened its
most recent art exhibition, "Viva
la Revolución: A Dialogue with
the Urban Landscape" within the
Jacobs Building on Kettner Boulevard. Curated by Pedro Alonzo
and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán, the exhibit
features twenty of the most well
known street artists from ten different countries (including the
likes of Shepard Fairey, Banksy,
VHILS, and Barry McGee). The
exhibit succeeds in opening dialogue to the nature of street art
and its place in society by removing the art from its urban context
and placing it within the white
walls of a museum. The risk was
well taken and incredibly successful due to the sheer weight
and overwhelming beauty of
the pieces shown. With thoughtprovoking installations, the exhibit succeeds in integrating the
chaos of urban artwork with the
pristine, and often outdated, setting of an art museum. One of
the largest pieces in the exhibit
is by Swoon, the only female artist featured in the exhibit. The
enormous installation utilizes
recycled materials, such as wood
slabs and glass bottles, to assemble a tower of forgotten waste
that gives attention to industrialization and the humanity that is
lost in the process. Also featured
in the exhibit is a stunning use of
crumbling urban walls as art by
VHILS, Stephan Doitschinoff's
thought-provoking religious alter, and reactionary prints by
the infamous Banksy (the largest collection of his prints to be
shown at once). Open until Jan.
2, 2011, the exhibit bravely embraces the unique and risky nature of the ever-changing street
art scene, allowing the movement the respect it deserves from
the community of art museums.
Unique and entirely fitting
Of the exhibit's theme, "Viva la
Revolución" doesn't limit itself
to an indoor setting and includes
public commissions throughout
downtown San Diego, as well as
un-commissioned works on locations secured by the museum. Included in the public displays is a
photomural by JR and large-scale
murals by OS Gemeos, Stephan
Doitschinoff, Shepard Fairey, Invader, and Barry McGee. One can
either hit the exhibit first, picking
up a street map there (also available at http://wwwjncasandiego.
org) to engage in their art treasure
hunt, or take two days to explore
the two very different art viewing experiences. Many works are
within walking distance of the exhibit, two are on the same block,
but there are many gorgeous pieces that one would need a car to
see, especially Shepard Fairey's
beautiful piece in South Park and
Stephen Doitschinoff's comparison of Jesus to the inhuman neg-
ligence of livestock that appears
off of 16th Street in downtown.
What the scavenger hunt manages to do, within our clean streets,
is create an awareness of all the
surrounding art that one may
never notice. Instead of traveling
through San Diego streets blindly,
the public displays cause people
to engage with the constant presence of art. While some may go
completely unrealized, like Invader's small-scale work with
tiles that don't appear on the map,
each one causes people to appreciate areas that they may never
have noticed before, giving them
new landmarks to know their city
by and opening a surging dialogue regarding the nature, power, and necessity to the growing
of culture that urban art brings.

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

Based on the true story of how
the social networking site Facebook was created, "The Social
Network" is the most culturally
relevant film of the year, managing to reflect and define a generation. If you think for one second
that a film about Facebook will
be a pitiful way of capitalizing
on the popularity of the site, you
couldn't be more wrong. David
Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple
handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially
connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about
the cracks within human nature.
The film begins at Harvard
with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse
Eisenberg) using his internet blog
to lash out at the girl who dumped
him. His drunken anger leads him
to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system
and bringing him to the attention

as we see a crowd entering a
building, conspicuously concealed by a mass o t well-groomed
shrubbery. Stepping inside we are
greeted by a crowd cheering, just
finishing their 45 minute brewery
tour (which are offered hourly
and are free). As the crowd rais-
was like, it was like being on a
Willy Wonka-esque Beer Factory
tour, minus the Oompaloompas.
Be ready to be amazed
by the large tanks of beersin-the-making all within the
55,000 square foot brewery.
As if that weren't cool enough,
from the crowd, bring your beer
to the gardens below and relax.
Speaking of beers, Stone
Brewery offers an assortment of
34 beers on the menu, with 10
Stone-made brews. To get a feel
for their flavor, die "Core Four"
offers a preview of them at $5. As
for specials, they have $1 off all
beers from 4 to 6 p.m. Can't take
beer straight? Eat it! Spud Buds
are $7, and Brownie Sundaes are
$10, boasting beer as an ingredient. Meatless Mondays are a hit,
featuring fresh and locally grown
produce. However, be prepared
to spend some dough. While
drinks are reasonably priced, the
dinner menu ranges from $7 to
$22. If you want more bang for
your buck, buying a Growler
is worth every penny. Buyers
have a choice of purchasing a 1
or 2 liter jug ranging from $9.25
to $12 available for multiple refills with your beer of choice at
the brewery during store hours.
And if you want it to go, there's
special parking just for that.
With their ever changing
menu, friendly staff, and some
good beer, you'd be amazed that
this is all tucked away in Escondido. For the beer enthusiast or
the just plain curious, go out on
a whim, grab some friends, and
try something new - just make
sure you have a designated driver.

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

"Bones: Season 5" (Unrated)
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (R)
Freddy Kruger is back (this time played by
Jackie Earle Haley) in "A Nightmare on
Elm Street," marking another remake of
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film of the same
name. The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers
^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized
in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were
children. With laughable acting, an extreme
emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to
rip the same terror from the audience as the
irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this
film only succeeds in being a weak attempt
to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction.
NEW CD RELEASES
With the sixth season newly underway, the
DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a
better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic
relationship between forensic anthropology and
criminal justice, the series continues to follow
the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance
"Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI
Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz),
as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this
season is the 100th episode (directed by David
Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the
beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship,
the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on
trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season
with the characters going their separate ways
temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of
"Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Brandon Flowers - "Flamingo" - Island
It has been two weeks since Brandon Flowers's solo record, "Flamingo," has hit stores. The front man of Las Vegas band, The Killers,
has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might
"mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The
Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop.

Jimmy Eat World - "Invented"
- David Geffen Company
It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced
between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling
the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems
of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts.

�n octurnal Festival
BY SUS ANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Saturday Sept. 25 Insomniac held its 16th annual Nocturnal Festival at the National Orange Show Events
Center in San Bernadino, Calif.
42,000 attended the rave/
festival, braving the heat wave.
The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five
stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire.
Several great artists and DJs
performed at the festival, such
as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten,
ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights.
This year Insomniac offered
free water refills for everyone,
keeping attendees hydrated and
dancing all day into the warmnight.
The audience seemed electric
throughout the 11-hour festival.
With the many fast beating
songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac
could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello
played Swedish House Mafia's
"One," the audience seemed to
get into a frenzy, likewise with
ATB when they played Ecstasy
and managed to blow a speaker.
As soon as the sun set, the out-
S
Œ
door tents filled up at the speed
of light. Angello who housed
"Alice's House," a massive two
story black tent with 78.000
square feet of room to dance and
shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life
gave people no reason to leave.
Festival goers had to dip their
heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages,
to check out Ferry Corsten,
ATB and Markus Schulz, who
were blasting music in a hot,
white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd.
If the 110-degree weather had
made you tired, the lawn next to
the pond at the entrance seemed a
good place to rest while embracing
the magic of the moment, looking
at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets)
up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows.
At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers
were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in
the warm nighs sky, and the bass
pumped loud in the background,
it truly seemed like wonderland.

CHELSEA JAUREGUI
Autumn is upon us, and that means fall
sports and midterm exams. Healthy and delicious, smoothies are a quick snack option
to power up for a workout or recover from
an action-packed game. Even non-athletic
students can benefit from these energizing
drinks, reaping a sharp attention span, focus, and brainpower for tacklirlg classes
and homework. Packed with nutrition and
incredible flavor, individuals can customize theflavorof their smoothies by varying
the main ingredients. Fruits and vegetables
are easily blended to frothy perfection—if
you haven't yet invested in a blender, do
it! This one appliance will allow you to
create hundreds of smoothie recipes for
any time of the day, promoting a diet that
will keep you performing at your best.
The basic smoothie has three main
ingredients:
Fruit and/or vegetables
Liquid: (milk, yogurt, fruit juice)
Ice
The specific nutritional benefits will depend on the ingredients you use—athletes
should consult their coaches for guidelines
on what to include in their smoothies. In
general, a smoothie should contain a protein
(from dairy or soy products, or a supplement
such as whey protein) and a variety of fruits
or vegetables for maximum nutrition. Get
creative #nd think about what ingredients
might create new and interesting flavors.
Nutritionist Lindsay Barnes, co-author of
the book "Smoothies and Ice Treats," recommends using fresh fruit and vegetables,
and using low-fat dairy products for the
healthiest smoothies. Flavor and consistency will depend on the amount of each ingredient used, so experiment until youfindthe
perfect blend for your palate. Here is a delicious smoothie recipe to get you inspired:
Berry Avocado Smoothie
Vi avocado, peeled and sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries
Vi banana
1 cup milk or soymilk
Vanilla extract and honey, to taste
Ice, about 4 cubes
Making a smoothie requires just the
press of the button. Blend all the ingredients until you reach the desired consistency, then taste to check the flavor. You
can refrigerate any leftovers and re-blend
to enjoy with your next meal. The above
recipe is a Cookin' Cougar original—check
recipe websites or smoothie recipe books
to get more ideas for your own delicious
blended treats. Ciao, my smoothie sippers. Let's raise our glasses to good health!

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

Since San Diego enjoys
beautiful, sunny weather for the
majority of the year, our city
is forced to mark the seasonal
transition from summer to fall in
other ways: the autumn Starbucks drink menu (delicious
pumpkin spice lattes return),
temporary Halloween stores on

Julian's Apple Days Festival.
Located in the rural
mountains of San Diego, approximately 40 minutes from
San Marcos, Julian, a historic
gold-mining town known for its
pie and hard apple cider, comes
alive to boast its best asset to
visitors from all over Southern
California: apples. The Julian
Apple Festival will take place
on Oct.2 and 3 from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. at the Menghini Winery
and will feature dancing, music,
a beer and wine garden , gold
panning demonstrations, tractor
displays, children's activities,
contests, apple pie, and the grand
coronation of a Mr. and Mrs.
Apple Days.
According to the Julian
Apple Days website, the festival
is more than 100 years old,
starting in 1909 as a celebration
to mark the town winning the
Wilder Medal, an award bestowed only to the highest quality fruit growers. Since then, the
event has attracted over 3,000
visitors every year and its apples
have upheld their award-winning
deliciousness.
Thinking of making your
own apple pie this fall? Take
some Julian apples home with
you by visiting Julian's Apples •
and Art Orchard. For $10 per
bag, visitors can spend the day
picking California-grown, pesticide-free apples straight from
the tree, Johnny Appleseed style.

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

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

CSUSM women, the Cougars
were a couple minutes behind

though it was the first race of
the season for star runner Cady

Maroon 5 - "Hands All Over" - A&M/
Octone
Maroon 5's third album, "Hands All
REVIEWS
Over" (recorded in Switzerland), has had
a long journey since their last release ("It
Won't Be Soon Before Long"). The band
itself has come a long way since 2002, yet
they managed to get through the struggles of a newly formed band, eventually
claiming two Grammy wins. For this new
album, the band worked with Robert John
"Mutt" Lange, a notable producer who
previously worked with the likes of AC/
DC and Bryan Adams (who also happens to be Shania Twain's ex-husband).
"Hands All Over" blends the genres
of funk and rock in familiar Maroon 5
fashion. The band toured the end of this
past summer, and beginning Oct. 6, they
will perform in many cities along the
west coast (see http://www.maroon5.com/
shows/ for more show dates). Singles
"Misery" and "Give A Little More" were
released this past summer and both songs
will be accompanied by music videos.

"WALL S TREET: MONEY NEVER S LEEPS"
BY MILA PANTOVICH
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
When Oliver Stone
released "Wallstreet" in
1987, he introduced a film
about stock markets that
functioned very much like
a political thriller. Now,
23 years later, Stone has
released the long-awaited
sequel, "Wallstreet: Money
Never Sleeps." Like "Wallstreet," Stone places the
sequel firmly in the middle
of an economic crisis and
uses the panic and confusion felt in the industry
to give the story an edge
that is felt personally, if
only slightly understood,
by many Americans. With
visuals of stocks plummeting in a business that
depends upon greed and
dishonesty, Stone uses the
story of a broken family as
the backbone and heart of
the film.
"Wallstreet: Money
Never Sleeps" presents
the economy as a series of
fast-paced split screens,
showing the rapid rise and
fall of companies through
cheesy animation and
diagrams. Filming stock
traders as if they are mobsters, Oliver Stone gives
a sense of foreboding to
board meetings filled with
arrogant young traders who
continue thinking they're
in control of the rapidly
declining market. Stone,
himself, has a small cameo
as a trader and Charlie
Sheen returns as a retired

�REACHING THE END:
A REVIEW OF
"HAM): REACH"
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach" is the story of
the beginning of the "Halo" saga,
but truly, it marks its end. With
the separation of game developer
Bungie and publisher Microsoft
Game Studios, another "Halo"
game created with the same
craftsmanship and quality will
likely never grace the Xbox 360
console. With that sobering fact
in mind, "Halo: Reach" delivers
where all the other "Halo" games
fall short.
"Halo: Reach" is the prequel
to the "Halo"
trilogy, directly
preceding the
events of the
original game.
The player takes
on the role of a
faceless Spartan
soldier by the
name of Noble
6. He begins the
game as an unwanted replacement for Noble
Team, an elite
group of Spartan
soldiers who aré
no strangers to
war.
The story
takes place on planet Reach, a
heavily defended human world
untouched by war. But when
Noble Team is sent to investigate
an attack by local militia, they
discover that the Covenant, an
alien race led by religious zealots
that call for the annihilation of
the human race, is to blame.
What is initially believed to be
an isolated attack soon turns into
a planetary invasion of unimaginable force. What ensues is
a battle for the very survival of
the human race as Noble Team
is sent repeatedly behind enemy
lines to save the planet from total
destruction.
"Halo: Reach" is by far
Bungie's best work in the "Halo"
series, which shows with im-

Pizza Nova

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Looking to chow down on comfort

far from campus? Head down Twin Oaks
to the LA Fitness center. Pizza Nova's got
you covered.
The small San Diego chain's
fourth location (and first in North County)
opened its doors last year to little fanfare,
but has slowly become a San Marcos
favorite. As a prime-time lunch or dinner
spot, Pizza Nova doesn't do things much
differently than Sammy's Woodfired Pizza
across town. But who cares which place
has better dinner specials? We're talking
happy hour, and a recent price drop at
Pizza Nova has them looking like a real
college town joint.
They like to call it "$3 at 3."
Weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m., dropping
in won't set you back much unless you
provements big and small found
throughout the game.
The most noticeable improvement is the graphics. The level
designs are spectacular. Bungie
used a cross between handpainted backgrounds and graphic
animation to bring a new depth
to the world. "Halo: Reach"
escaped the confines of its predecessors by using much more
diverse color schemes, which
make the dramatic sequences pop
that much more on the screen.
To help draw the player deeper into the experience, Bungie
pumped Noble Team with as
much diversity as possible. Each
Spartan is entirely unique and the
player quickly grows attached to
each member. But it isn't only
the team members that get an
overhaul, the player's character
does so as well. Several key cut
scenes have the player viewing
events through Noble 6's eyes,
bringing them so much closer
to the action and the persona of
Noble 6.
The single player experience
also includes highly upgraded
enemies. Gone are the days when
enemies' only tactic was to stand
still and fire at the player. The
enemies in "Reach" are given
the same abilities and skill as the
player, making the game much
more challenging and exciting.
Whether they are trying to flank
behind the player's position, o r.
sending in holograms to try and
flush out the player, Noble 6 has
his work cut out for him.
But Bungie seemed to forget
about the intelligence of the
player's allies. On more than one
occasion a hapless ally seemed to
forget what they were doing, or
decided that running the wrong
way through a level was a good
idea. There were also several
instances where the ally seemed
to get stuck at an invisible barrier, leaving Noble 6 alone in an
enemy-infested area.
Bungie took great care to
throw in several new ways to
spice up the single player campaign. Flying through space in a
fighter jet protecting a space station from Covenant attack, flying
between crumbling skyscrapers
in a helicopter to rescue trapped
Marines, or
even dodging
enemy fire to
fix defensive
turrets, Reach
is sure to keep
players at the

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

majors have anything
to do with taking out a
loan. Students depend
on loans to live. If that's
their only means to pay
for education and to
survive, then they have
to go with it."
More than 50
percent of the student
population relies on
loans to fund their way
throughout college.
Some of the reasons
are their parents make
too. much money, as
determined by the
federal government,
or students' parents do
not support them at all.
These students decide
to take on a loan. A
clock on iinaid.org ticks
the balance on" student
loan debt. 850 trillion
dollars is the latest estimate. Even so, this does
not stop students from
taking the loans.
" I'd rather be taking out loans for school
than not being able
to go to school at all.
Education is the most
important thing anyone
can have right now
and I 'm not going to
let the fear of being in
debt affect my choice,"
Madison said.

The Annual Health Expo
BY MAYA LIFTON
PRIDE STAFF
WRITER
Thursday was a good
day at Cal State San
Marcos as the annual
health expo took place
in the library plaza.
The fair provided
free food, massages,
contests, and much
more. 40 different organizations showed up
to this event, each holding individual booths,
which offered information on a particular
aspect of health.
Some of these organizations included North
County health services,
Children's Physicians
medical group, The
Clarke, and the Nürsing
department.
The nursing department had information on
the amount of calories a
person should be taking
in per day. This number
is based on your height,
weight, and gender.
Chelsea Witwer, a
nursing student who
helped put the booth
together, told The Pride
a shocking probability.
"You don't think about
what you're drinking.
You can drink over half
your calories per day,
and people don't know
this," said Witwer.
People are misinformed about the
amount of sugar drinks
contain. They tend to
misjudge the effect one
drink could have on the
body and drink to no
limit. As a result, this
misinformation has led
to the obesity problem
we face today.
Witwer also provided information
pertaining to the amount
of calories certain drinks
have, such as Starbucks
coffee and Coca-Cola.
"Between Starbucks
coffee, Coca-Cola, Budweiser beer, and Snappie Iced Tea, Starbucks
has the most calories."
Even so, Witwer said
there are 10 tablespoons
of sugar in a Coca-Cola.
A Better Tomorrow,
another organization at
the expo, is a treatment
center that specializes
in substance abuse and
helps treat addiction.
Eric Miller, the intake
coordinator, said, "We
work with the major
insurance companies.
We are one of the largest
providers of substance
abuse treatment centers
in California.
"Our facilities treat
any kind of addiction,"
Miller said. "We also
have an [adolescence]
program and work with
kids under the age of
18."

From Sept. 20 to Dec. 10,
you can take your pick of a variety of fun ways to exercise—and
the classes are FREE to CSUSM
students! Faculty must pay a fee
of $60 that allows access to any
of the classes for the semester. Sign up for your choice of
Ashtanga yoga, "Cardio Kick,"
indoor cycling, hip-hop, zumba/
salsa, line dancing, Jiu-Jitsu, or
"AB. Blast" at the Campus Recreation Center (TheClarke 119).
Indoor cycling will be held
on brand new equipment at the
University Village Apartments,
and hip-hop dance and line dancing are both new and exciting options that will be joining student
favorites like zumba and yoga. If
you can still think of an excuse,
here are five unbeatable reasons
to join a class without delay.
1) It's free! We mentioned it
earlier, but this means completely free. Unlike gyms that might
offer martial arts classes, but
charge for equipment, all classes
will provide you with the gear
you need while you're at Clarke
Field House. It's also a way to
save money by stopping your
membership somewhere else.
2) It's on site. You're already
on campus, and no matter where
you are on campus, Clarke Field
House is a short walk away.
3) It's a fun way to add some
newness to your life, whether
that means new exercises, new
workout buddies, or both.
4) A little exercise will actually make writing papers easier
- no joke! British research has
shown that mid-day exercise will
enhance your mood and make
you more productive.
5)The classes are built to suit
everybody. "If you're a beginner,
you're going to receive the basic
instruction to get the basics. If
you're more advanced, these
are going to be classes in which
you'll be challenged to learn new
things," explains Hugo Lecomte,
head of Campus Recreation. "All
the fitness classes are very inclusive and suitable for all levels."

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

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

the open field. CSUSM out-shot
Hastings 22-4 and held a 6-3
advantage in corner kicks.
The game's lone goal came
late in the first half. A nice buildup resulted in Natalya Erbel
feeding a pass to Rachel Schulte,
who knocked it across the face
of the goal to Lauren Johnson.
Johnson expertly controlled the
pass, and from the right side of
the goal finished with a slicing
shot past the keeper into the leftside netting.
That would be all the scoring, as the second half saw the
Cougars generate plenty more
chances but not quite be able to
finish. Keeper Kaycee Gunion was rock solid as usual in
net, making a pair of saves and
consistently making the right
decisions.
Cougar women's soccer will
face a big test this Wednesday at

Pulvers' side spent most of the
game in the middle of the field.
The two teams traded mostly
weak chances during regulation.
Three minutes into overtime, Master's pushed the ball
up toward the Cougar goal. A
Mustang player went down near
the 18-yard line. The foul looked
like it could have been a free
kick, but the official pointed to
the penalty box. Andie Reyes
easily put the chance into the
right corner past All-American
keeper Kaycee Gunion, who
dove left.
"For me, in an overtime game

Late Comeback Comes Up
Short as Men's
Soccer Falls to Westmont
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Playing in front of a big crowd in
Santa Barbra, Cal State San Marcos men's
soccer came up short against a good
Westmont team, losing 2-1 on the road
last Saturday.
CSUSM is now 2-3-1 on the year.
Westmont is 3-0-2.
The Cougars got into a 2-0 hole, starting with a penalty kick goal from West-
mont Doug Harrell in the 39th minute.
Westmont added its second early in the
second half, as a corner kick was headed
into the lower corner of the net by Anthony Niboli in the 59th minute.
CSUSM would respond though, as
Sterling Petersen scored following a
throw-in in the 79th minute, giving him
his first goal as a Cougar. But CSUSM
couldn't notch the equalizer, falling by
that 2-1 margin.
Kevin Ernst made 6 saves in net for
the Coguars.
CSUSM will be in action this Wednesday at home in a huge rivalry match with
Point Loma, starting at 5:30 PM*.

The Walkmen - "Lisbon" - Fat P ossum /Bella Union
The Walkmen had their start in 2000 and are now approaching the release of their sixth album, "Lisbon." Having been together for nearly 10
years, The Walkmen's unique sound has been compared to that of The Cure, but they continue to stay themselves while making new additions
to their sound with each album, choosing to break away from the more familiar independent and garage types of music like The Hives or The
Strokes. They toured in support of their album to a few festivals last spring, including All Tomorrow's Parties in England, and Lollapalooza in
Chicago. This month, The Walkmen are touring around the U.S., as well as Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In support of their new album, The
Walkmen are selling copies of "Lisbon" with original designs from etsy.com (check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWalkmen).
Weezer - "Hurley" - Epitaph Records
When you see the cover of Weezer's new album there is no need to double take. Indeed, it is a photo of Jorge Garcia also known as "Hurley" from
the television series "Lost." Whether or not there is a connection between this character and the album, "Hurley" is Weezer's eighth anticipated album.
Weezer as a band has existed since 1992 and although they have expressed influence from The Pixies, Nirvana and Green Day, with each album their
sound manages to stay original, yet always evolving. "Hurley," which is up for preview on their Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/weezer) shows off
Weezer's signature rock sound that still manages to be new and even fun. The album also features Michael Cera providing back-up vocals on one of the
tracks. The deluxe edition of "Hurley", which can be purchased on Itunes, includes a few bonus tracks and a cover of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida."
Linkin Park - "A Thousand Suns" - Warner Bros. Records
These days one needs only to mention Linkin Park and the tunes of "In The End," "Faint," and "Numb" begin
ringing through ears. September 14th is the release date of their latest studio album "A Thousand Suns." Linkin
Park, already known for their impacting lyrics and unique musical style, seem to have done it again. Many critics
already praise this new album for its sound and impressive writing. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda continue
to share vocals, which can be heard on the album's first single "The Catalyst," released this past August, along with
other songs on the album. The band also worked off of their influence from the renowned hip-hop group, Public
Enemy. Following "Minutes to Midnight," "A Thousand Suns" cumulates nearly two years of writing and recording
into a fourth full-length album from the band known for their mixture of rock, rap and other devices, making Linkin
Park a name to be recognized.

"Prince of Persia: The Sands of

"Just Wright" - Sanaa Hamri
"Letters to Juliet" - Gary Winick
"Just Wright" stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright,
a physical therapist not seeking to "belong" to a man,
living with her god-sister Morgan. Rapper Common
plays Scott, a professional basketball player who takes
a romantic interest in Morgan. Following a threatening
injury that could affect Scott's career, he begins to see
that Morgan was only in interested in him for the money and fame, and that Leslie, his new physical therapist,
is the one who truly wants what is best for him and
his future. The chemistry between the two actors (and
music icons) flows well within the story and the feel of
the film. This i s director Sanaa Hamri's seventh film,
following works such as "Something New" and "The
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." "Just Wright" is a
film with a simple romantic plot that still has its charms.
Sophie Hall visits Italy with her fiancée and encounters romance in a very unexpected way, turning
into a sort of "Juliet" after finding a lost letter amongst
the many love letters placed in the supposed real home
of Juliet Capulet. Following this discovery, Sophie
eventually finds the sender, Claire, and decides to help
the woman find her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini.
Along the way Sophie too discovers more about herself and her feelings as she travels alongside Claire's
grandson Charlie. Director Gary Winick's previous
works include "13 Going On 30," "Charlotte's Web,"
and "Bride Wars." Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan and
Vanessa Redgrave star in this sweet tale of discovering
love -old and new - 2nd trusting destiny.

Based off of the "Prince of Persia" video
game series, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of
Time" follows just about the same premise
as the Ubisoft game franchise. The film tells
the story of Dastan and his discovery of a
sacred dagger that can turn back time. With
this knowledge he winds up on an adventure
with a princess named Tamina, and unveils
a web of political treachery amongst his
own family. This film comes from director
Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer
(producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean"
films) and is distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton, "Prince of Persia:
The Sands of Time" is another action-driven,
Disney-friendly film that both adults and kids
can enjoy.

APP OF THE WEEK
NetNewsWire
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Ever get tired of going to your favorite blogs and
news sites only to be bombarded by pop-up ads and useless blinking banners? Well Mac, iPad, and iPhone users
now have a way to enjoy their favorite news stories without the advertisements, using the simple app NetNewsWire by NewsGator Technologies.
NetNewsWire, described by Dan Frakes from Macworld.com as "A stellar example of a newsreader done
right," is a simple application with a smooth interface
that brings you your favorite blogs and news using Really Simple Syndication.
Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known
as an RSS feed, is a blog format that gives a bare-bones
display of a website, keeping the news and blog posts
while shaving off the ads. NetNewsWire takes these RSS
feeds and combines them into one simple-to-use interface, so whether a user looks at one blog a day, or 50,
they won't miss a single story.
There are several features of NetNewsWire that help
the app stand above the rest in the RSS reader market.
First, and most importantly, the app is free for the Mac
and iPhone. Both are supported by ads, which are shown
in the bottom left corner of the app. NetNewsWire also

able to connect to Twitter accounts for easy sharing of a
user's favorite stories and blog posts with friends. NetNewsWire also has a full-functioning web browser built
into the app. This feature helps minimize the wait time
when opening a link from a news story, or when loading
the source from within the app.
My favorite feature of NetNewsWire is also one of
the most simple and overlooked. Just like Google Gmail,
a user can "star" their favorite stories in NetNewsWire to
save for a later read date. This feature becomes increasingly useful with each new RSS feed a user subscribes
to. Finding a great story is easy, but remembering where
it is hours later can be, and usually is, a complete chore.
Marking a story as a favorite gives the user easy access to it at a later time, without the hassle of scrolling

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

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

Communications and Mass Media now declared impacted
Competitive G*PA requirements now needed to enter either major
BY S ANDRA C HALMERS

REVIEW
A RTS A N D
E NTERTAINMENT, P. 8
Communications and
Mass Media have now been
added to the impacted majors
list this fall 2010. A total of six
majors are now impacted at
CSUSM: Communications and
Mass Media, both Bachelor of
Arts, join Business Administration, Kinesiology, Nursing, and
Human Development.
"Impacted" is a term
used to describe a major that has
more qualified students interested than can be accommodated
for. Since CSUSM wants to preserve a quality classroom experience, certain screening requirements are now being enforced.
In easier terms, Communications and Mass Media are
now in the top ten most popular
majors for CSUSM, showing
clearly that currently there is not
enough faculty support to supply
the demand of the students interested in either growing major.
Screening criteria includes a requirement of 60-se-
mester of baccalaureate-level
coursework applicable toward a
degree at CSUSM and completion of coursework equivalent to
the lower-division preparatory
coursework for the Communication and Mass Media major.
A list of the major prep
classes can be found at www.
csusm.edu/admissions/impaction/impactedmajors .html
A minimum GPA of
2.5 needs to be achieved in the
major prep classes in order for
students to apply and be accepted officially into the major.
Without completion of
major prep courses, and meeting
the minimum GPA requirements,
students cannot enroll in upper
division major core classes.
Since this limits freshmen and sophomores to even
declare Communications or
Mass Media until they have
finished the prep classes and are
in junior class standing, until
requirements have been fulfilled,
they can be admitted as "PreCommunications" or "Pre-Mass
Media."

OATMEAL: SO CHEAP, SO SWEET!
BY J ENNA JAUREGUI
D IGITAL M EDIA M ANAGER
When faced with a tight food
budget, many college students turn to
Ramen noodles and the fast-food dollar
menu—meals that satisfy the wallet but
not always the appetite. If you are among
the droves of starving students who find
their bank accounts running dry after buying parking permits and textbooks, allow
me to introduce you to an old friend you
may have forgotten: oatmeal!
A delicious, hot comfort food, oatmeal
is an incredibly filling, nutritious grain
that can substitute as breakfast, lunch,
dinner, or dessert. According to versagrain.com, oats provide both soluble fiber,
which lowers bad cholesterol, and insolublefiberthat can keep you... "regular/' In
addition, oats boost your immune system,
provide several vitamins and minerals,
and may help prevent certain cancers.
Quick oats can be cooked in just minutes,
and smart shoppers can bring the price
per bowl down to mere pennies. Here
are three sweet ideas to zing up this great
grain and add even more nutrients.
Pumpkin Pie
Vi cup quick oats
A cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
allspice, honey, and brown sugar to taste
Carrot Cake
Vi cup quick oats
VA cup shredded carrot (cooked)
2 tbsp. vanilla yogurt
cinnamon to taste
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie
Vi cup quick oats
1 packet hot chocolate
1 tbsp. peanut butter
l
Everyone prepares their oatmeal different ways—some like it hot, some like
it cold, some like it in the pot nine days
old (as the rhyme goes, though I do not
support that plan). Cook it how you like
it! Throw in some nuts, some fruit, or
whatever you think sounds delicious. Get
beyond the raisin rut! Pop the bowl in the
microwave, and you have a delicious hot
meal in just minutes. Have fun experimenting!
Ciao, my oatmeal-savvy students!

Robert Rodriguez is clearly doing what he loves to do most in "Machete," his most recent homage to the
B-films of the 1960s and 1970s. Derived
from a fake trailer that he created for the
"Grindhouse" double-feature released
with friend Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez
took full advantage of every Mexican
stereotype he could think of, surrounding
them with needless nudity and absurdly
comical violence. The film is crude, disgusting, campy and immensely entertaining.
Machete (Danny Trejo) is an
ex-Federale who vows vengeance on the
drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal), who

Torrez, Machete
spends his time
roaming a parking
lot in Texas looking
for work with other
illegal immigrants
from Mexico. He
finds himself hired
by the nasty and
conniving Booth (Jeff
Fahey of "Lost") to
assassinate the bigoted Texan Senator,
McLaughlin (Robert De
Niro). However, when
Machete realizes that
he has been used as a 4»
political pawn to further
Senator McLaughlin's
re-election campaign,
his need for retribution
is kicked into overdrive
and Machete is joined
by freedomfighterLuz
(Michelle Rodriguez),
Padre the priest who
knows how to wield
12-gauge shotguns
(Cheech Marin), ICE
agent (Jessica Alba) and Booth's junkie,
internet porn star daughter (Lindsay Lohan).
Instead of relying on plot or
character development, which are two
elements completely ignored in this film,
"Machete" depends upon the exploitive
humor of using Mexican stereotypes as
a running joke. With decapitated heads
flying, weed-whackers as weapons and
cell phones being hidden within orifices of
the female body, the only thing needed to
know about this film is that the plot is irrelevant and the humor is worth the ticket
price.

Interpol - Self-titled
Interpol's fourth studio album, self-titled "Interpol," is a perfect display
how the band has evolved since theirfirststudio album "Turn on the
Bright Lights" was released in 2002. Listeners will recognize the band's
familiar sound, but "Interpol" will touch on more orchestral inspired
sounds. This is also the last album including bassist Carlos Dengler who
decided to pursue new projects. Dengler had been with Interpol since the
band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer.
Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart
Ever since her single, "Love Song," hit the airwaves, Sara Bareilles gained top chart attention with her catchy tunes, relatable
lyrics and beautiful use of the piano. "Kaleidoscope Heart" is
Bareilles' second studio album with Epic Records, and the first
single, "King of Anything" gives off an empowering feel yet
still manages to sound upbeat and positive. Bareilles has also
released webisodes at www.sarabmusic.com, documenting the
process of making "Kaleidoscope Heart."

Ben (Michael Douglas) is a successful man, or at least he was.
After things begin to fall apart with
his career, Ben continues to spiral
downward,findingromantic interests
in much younger women despite his
daughter's dismay. "Solitary Man"
is the second film directed by duo
Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
Michael Douglas shines in his role
as a father and ex-husband who must
open his eyes to his rapidly changing
life. Touching upon reality and character with less emphasis on theatrics,
thisfilmproves when life gives you
a bad hand, feeding it may blind you
to the real problems you should face.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
is a 1975 horror musical starring Tim
Curry and Susan Sarandon. The spoofs
and random details such as a transvestite
characterfromthe planet of Transsexual,
in the galaxy of Transylvania, make this
a hilariously funny horror movie that is
more likely to have you laughing than
scared.
Thefilmwas originally produced by Lou Adler, who is known for
his Cheech and Chong films. Adler took
his corny humor and produced what is

raw humor. I guarantee you will have
fun, be shocked and say 'Oh that's just

Chase banking customers and
iPhone owners can now enjoy an updated application from Chase that allows
customers to electronically deposit checks
into your account without ever visiting an
ATM machine or talking to a bank teller.
Simply take a picture of the front
and back of a check using your iPhone's
camera, and the app will use the picture to
read the amount and routing information.
If it is unreadable by the application, users
can manually enter the numbers, which
still saves you a trip to the bank.
The application also features a
new QuickPay service that allows users to
send money to anyone with an email address, regardless of who they bank with.
The service is free and does not charge
either party a transfer fee.
In order to use thefreeChase

The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show
rules, which aren't many. Then there's the

"First timers can expect confusion. Utter

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

services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/

�ARTS ASSOCIATION
GET INVOLVED WITH THE ARTS
BY CANDICE WYATT
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
Last fall marked the launch of the Arts Association, a student
organization that has quickly become an outlet for creative expression to
any CSUSM student who wants to participate.
"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside
of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It
gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association
Advisor.
Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking
students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization.
"In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue
growing," stated Huerta.
Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included
Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love
Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans.
I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student
exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building.
"This club is great for art students who want to step out of their
shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a
creative space to express themselves," said Heurta.
Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and
Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to
paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at
The Clarke Field House.
"Through events we do, you are able to network with people who
are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President.
Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this
semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and
UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations,
and create a San Diego Art Association.
Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342.
Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu,
Prowlin' the Kitchen
Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a

The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your
Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m.
"If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to
the table and we'll try and make
it happen," said Huerta.

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

With finals week looming in
the near distance, the return of
Relay for Life this past weekend to CSUSM offered students
a last chance to campaign for a
cause with their peers before
breaking for the summer
months ahead. On May ! , students joined hundreds of their
fellow community members for
a 24-hour long walkathon on
Mangrum Field with the sole
aim of raising awareness for
cancer related issues.
Participants in Relay for
Life formed teams that were
responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one
member walking the track at
all times. The event was just
one of many events like it to
take place across the nation.
The 55 teams that registered
for the event comprised a broad
spectrum of interests, bringing
together CSUSM student organizations, community groups,
local businesses, families, and
interested individuals from
nearby neighborhoods for a
single cause.
Though all teams were
involved in fundraising efforts,
members of The Defending
Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising
$11, 320. Soaring past their

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

every shift. If you cannot find
some pleasure in your job,
quit. There is no point to wasting your time on something
you do not like, even for a paycheck.
In the end, it does not matter
how much money you have,
because whether you believe
in heaven or not, you cannot

Spend as much time with your
family and friends and I promise you will be happier.
It is a simple answer, but it

Campus computers c hanging t o W indows 7
New Microsoft O S for fall 2 0 1 0
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Computers on campus will change
from using Windows Vista to Windows
7 by fell 2010.The change will start in
the summer with next year's faculty and
s taff's systems with all instructor stations and lab computers switched over
by fall.
Windows 7 will grant quicker access
t o. files, allow users to manage open
windows easier and connect to wireless networks better. System sleep and
resume is faster as well as a longer battery life and improved security, according to Instructional & Information
Technology Seryices (IITS). For more
information on Windows 7 and how to
use it, visit http://www.csusm.edu/iits/
support/win7/.
IITS has tested Windows 7 with all the
applications that the campus uses. Some
faculty and staff are currently testing
Windows 7 to give more feedback in
order to make sure the system is reliable
for the whole campus to use.
CSUSM switched from Windows XP
to Windows Vista last year due to the
declining support from Microsoft for
XP. By moving to Windows Vista, IITS
was able to test whether the transition to
Windows 7 was achievable.
IITS has said that the Windows 7 user
interface will be intuitive and easy to use
as it is very similar to Windows Vista.

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

G oodbye from the Business M anager
BY KRISHNA LAWLER MARTINEZ
Business Manager
Well California State University San
Marcos, the time has come for me to say
goodbye and with that I must say goodbye
to The Pride Student Newspaper as well.
After two years as your Business Manager, it is time for me t o pass the torch on
to someone else (still looking for someone to take that honor). It really has been
an amazing experience and I can't tell
you how much real world experience it
has given me, not to mention I've gotten
to know some really great people that I
would have otherwise probably never met
since they are outside my major. Shamelessly promoting? Yes. But it's all true.
It seems like it took me forever to get
to this point, six years, a major change,
transfers from two community colleges,
moving, a last name change (thanks
Rudy), and over 200 credits later, I've
arrived. Graduation is less than two
weeks away and then I am moving on
into the unknown. It took me six years
to graduate, even with college credits before I started thanks to AP exams,
going to school full-time (12 units), and
never having to retake a course. My
point for sharing this with you all? To
not allow yourselves to get discouraged
from reaching your goal, no matter the
path or how long it takes you to get there.
I can't even begin to put into the words
the joy that I feel and how great it feels
to be the first one in my family to graduate from college. The truth is that when I
started at California State University San
Marcos back in Fall of 2007,1 was a bit
overwhelmed by the amount of "catching
up" I had to do since I changed my major
to Business. I remember thinking, "Wow,
another three years of college. Am I ever
going to graduate?" But now, looking
back I am glad that I was able to spend
three years here. Not only did I make
some really great friends, but I also got
to know many faculty and staff (thanks
to Starbucks), and I have learned far more
than I could have dreamed (thanks to my
amazing professors). So enjoy your time
here, because in aflashyou will be sitting
here in this same place about to graduate
and reminiscing of your time spent here.
My first advice? Get involved. I know
it is cliché and you hear it a lot from
the moment you step foot in orientation
(thanks to O-team), but it really does
make the experience you have here. An
added bonus? You will get to know some
pretty amazing people along the way
and with so many different ways to get
involved there really is no excuse not to.
My second advice? Find a mentor.
It really makes all the difference in the
world to have someone to talk to and give
you advice, especially when that person
is someone you admire and respect.
Third advice? Write at least one article
for The Pride Student Newspaper. Even
if it is just an opinion piece about something you are passionate about. It feels
good to see your name attached to a piece
of published work.
Fourth advice? If you have room for it
in your schedule, take
a class to learn something you have always
wanted to learn. It's
very rewarding when
you finally are able to
do something that you
maybe thought you
would never be able to
do. For me, it was Photoshop.
Fifth advice? Every
day I read a quote that
hangs on my wall by
Sally Hass, "Dream
Big. Work Hard. Smile
Often. And Good
Things will Happen."
The truth is, college
is not designed to be
easy. If you shortcut
your classes, in the end
you are only shortcutting yourself.
Last but not least...
find some time for
mental breaks. For me,
it was my Disneyland
Annual Pass and my
favorite TV shows.
They are essential in
keeping yourself from becoming overwhelmed or burned out.
Without my grandparents, my boyfriend turned fiancé turned husband Rudy
(who will walk by my side at Graduation),
my best friend Jackie, my professors,
and my faculty mentor, I might not have

reached this point with as much success
as I have. Thank you, I will be eternally
grateful for the rest of my life.
To the rest of you, I wish you the best of
luck in your future endeavors and I leave
you with one last thought.. ."Life is made
up of moments, thank you for being a part
of mine." Class of 2010, we did it.
G oodbye from the Layout Editor
BY RUDY MARTINEZ
Layout Editor
"Two f ish are in a t ank, one t urns to
the other and says 'how do you drive
this t hing?'" I 've been in college for
the better p art of a decade. I 've been
through six d ifferent j obs, three degree
changes, moved three d ifferent places,
obtained an AAS in Psychology, and
re-met the woman who would end up my
wife (who knew?). Last semester alone
I took 18 u nits, worked two j obs, and
helped plan my wedding. This semester
my team and I have worked tirelessly on
our Senior Experience project, which
consumed my l ife, on top of classes and
work. However, without the help and
support of some awesome people that
I have surrounded myself with, I probably would never have been able to get
through it all.
The time has come for me to say "so
long and thanks for all the sleepless
nights CSUSM." It may be cliché to
say that I thought the day would never
come. But now graduation is slapping
me in the face, and I cannot wait. If I
had the opportunity to do it all over
again at ^ different university, I would
respectfully decline. Cai State San
Marcos has some of the best professors
I 've had the pleasure of learning from.
I can honestly say that my stay here at
CSUSM has f ully prepared me to enter
the "real world," and I don't mean the
horrible show on MTV. From the job
experience I've gained f rom working in
IITS to the Career Development class
taught by David Bennett, I feel confident in taking the leap f rom student to
professional.
My advice, f ind your passion and
stick with it. It doesn't feel like a job if
you love what you're doing. I can honestly say that I love both my jobs that I
have had here on campus. I was lucky
enough to hear several top executives
speak in the In The Executives Chair
course, most of which talked about
how they are passionate about their
job. Networking is also very important, with the help of my wife, K ristina,
she helped me get my j ob in IITS. Her
best f riend, Jackie Carbajal, who was
the prior Editor-in-Chief, was a writer
when she referred me to help out with
the layout. Today, who you know plays
j ust as important of a role as what you
know.
It may have been a long road, but the
experiences that I have gained f rom it
are priceless. Without my wife Kristina, my peers, faculty, s taff, and everyone who has helped me along the way,
I could not have made it through without the support of everyone, and I thank
each and every one of you.

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

C omedie d irector D anny Leiner p ays a visit
Tells students the w ays of the media industry
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Acclaimed comedic director, Danny Leiner, gave students a peek into the media
i ndustry when he took over
P rofessor Jonathan B erman's
mass media class last Tuesday.
Danny Leiner, most recognized for d irecting comedy
f ilms such as Dude, Where's
My Car? (2000) and Harold
and Kumar Go to White Castle
(2004) as well as directing
episodes of Felicity, Sopranos
and the series Arrested Development.
X iener's gave the students
an i nsightful straightforward
look into the media business,
while also entertaining his
audience.
"I wanted to see how he
found his way through the
media business, and to learn
about directing f ilms," said
student Nicholas Espinoza.
The lecture started with a
presentation of a clip from
Leiner's work, Harold and
Kumar Go to White Castle, a
scene where Kumar experiences a dream sequence with
a bag of Marijuana, that then
becomes his g irlfriend. This
scene opened up questions
about storyboarding, a f rameby-frame depiction of what the
director will shoot.
"That sequence I did not
storyboard, I t ry to save the
story boarding for complicated action sequences," said
Leiner, but he also conveyed
to the students how helpful
storyboards can be when on
location.
The next presentation was
of several commercials, which
included clips of the popular Free Credit Report.com
musical commercials and the
Jack Links Jerky commercials
about messing with Sasquatch.
These commercials by Leiner
display his comedic talents in
different mediums of media.
Leiner went on to state that
throwing a lot of money into a
project helps develop and tell
stories, especially concerning
commercials he continued to
explain that a lack of money
restricts the ability to formulate stories ideas into action.
Inspired student, Espinoza
was impressed on how Leiner
could easily add humor to
everyday living. "How he
f inds a way to make a simple
idea into something hilarious
and funny."
Since this portion of the
industry is so popular, Leiner
went into great detail about
how the industry is supper
competitive, and how a director must create opportunity
for themselves.
While discussing his transition from movies to commercials and sitcoms,
Leiner commented on how
changing to d ifferent media's
allows him to stay artistically
f resh.
When doing an episode
for Sopranos, he articulated
the intricacies involved in
expressing a director's style
while still honoring the specifics already put into place.
"I always hope that a little
of my style comes through,
I keep within the frame, but
then visually bring in something a little comedy wise,"
said Leiner.
In a scene from Dude,
Where's My Car? the main
characters played by Ashton
Kutcher, and Seann William
Scott discover that they both
got tattoos a fter drinking
heavily the night before was
presented to show Leiner's
comedic delivery.

The scene goes back and
forth between the characters
repeating most of the same
words, "dude" and "sweet."
Leiner expressed how scenes
like these are d ifficult to execute, but to insure success he
takes a lot of takes and is very
involved in the editing process
because he believes "comedies
live or die in editing."
Liener revealed a sneak peek
of his most recent work movie
"Backwash," written by and
staring Josh Malina.
The movie follows the journey of three oddball losers
in an ice cream truck in the
format of a thirteen web episodes.

This comedy starring Steve

The most important part of this
final summer action romp is the
cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve

Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren,
as well as Sylvester Stallone, who
wrote and directed it, so it should
not be hard to guess this is an all out
festival of guns and explosions.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun
ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a
stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim"
graphic novel series. This film stars
Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and
Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's
usual troupe, and the trailers make
thisfilmlook like a shcker version of

The Switch
This date movie begins with a
wild premise. Jennifer Aniston
plays a woman whose best friend,
played by Jason Bateman, accidentally switches the sample for her
artificial insemination with some
of his own specimen. Seven years
later, they reunite and discover what
happened.

S candal a t C SU Stanislaus raises concern
o ver a n upcoming Palin a ppearance
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
| S ; See Page 4
CougarJobs
A new chapter has opened in
the scandal at GSU Stanislaus
as • administrators now face
allegations of corruption over
the destruction of documents
pertaining to an upcoming visit by
Sarah Palin, the former governor
of Alaska and Republican Vice
Presidential nominee.
At the
center of the scandal is the CSU
Stanislaus Foundation, which has
refused to make public information
about the visit in spite of a drawn
out campaign by California State
Senator Leland Yee to publicize
Palin's speaking fee.
The CSU Stanislaus Foundation
plans to host a private gala in June
with Palin as its keynote speaker.
According to the Foundation, the
event will serve as a fundraiser
for the CSU Stanislaus campus.
The controversy mainly centers
on the foundation's status as 501c3
auxiliary organization, a privately
funded non-profit entity that would
not normally be required to reveal
private information to the public.
CSU Stanislaus has upheld a recent
decision to withold the release of
the information, citing a clause
in the contract with Palin that
prohibits disclosure of information
relating to the visit.
Californians Aware, a nonprofit government transparency
Image courtesy of Propeller.com
advocacy group based in
Sacramento, filed suit against
the school last week, claiming
the overlapping duties of taxpayer funded administrators in
overseeing the foundation make it
subject to public disclosure laws.
The documents were turned over
to the the office of the Attorney
General and an investigation on the
matter has been opened.
On April 9, students were alerted
to potentially suspicious activity
when several administrators cars
were seen parked on campus
during a furlough day.
Two
students, Alicia Lewis and Ashley
Briggs, reportedly witnessed
activity inside a closed building
and saw a student disposing of
garbage in one of the dumpsters
outside. The two were among
several students that had been
actively searching dumpsters
for documents pertaining to the
visit by Palin. Upon searching
the dumpster, the students found
the files shredded among other
university paperwork.
Responding to the findings,
Senator Yee. said, "It is truly
shocking and a gross violation
of die public trust that such
documents would be thrown away
and destroyed during a pending
investigation."
Earlier this month, CSU
Stanislaus denied a request by
Senator Yee that documents
pertaining to Palin's visit be made
public, with its compliance officer
stating, "the University has no
documents that are responsive to

Abortion topic furthers conversation on campus
Associated Students Inc. hosts first ever C SUSM d ebate
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer

^ rts & Entertainment

See Page 7
Associated Students Inc.
hosted their first live debate on
the topic of abortion on April 20.
The debate took place in Arts
240 on campus during University
Hour, allowing all students the
opportunity to come. Students
who attended the debate received
free pizza to watch as author and
pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon
and CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Cecili Chadwick
explored this controversial topic.
Each speaker had 10 minutes
to make their argument, followed by five minutes each for
rebuttal and five minutes for
closing statements. Each speaker
received prior notice of how long
he or she had left, such as five
minutes and one minute. The
audience was to remain quite
during speeches and only react
after a speech has finished.
Pro-life speaker Alan Shlemon
spoke first about abortion and
why he feels it should be illegal.
Professor Chadwick countered
this with her views of why abortion should remain legal.
"Abortion is wrong because it
kills an innocent human being.
So what I've done is argue the
question 'What is the unborn?'
And I've said, look, if the unborn
is not a human being then it
doesn't matter whether you have
the abortion, go ahead have the
abortion.
"But if you ask the question...
and it turns out to be a human
being like you and me, then
abortion is killing an innocent
human being and that's what's
wrong," said Shlemon when
asked about his views after the
debate.
Professor Chadwick is pro-
choice and feels this type of
decision is down to the individual.
"Abortion should be legal
because the state should not be
involved ifi decisions about what
women can and can't do with
their bodies. It is widely documented that state interventionism is an inappropriate and ineffective way to reduce the number
of abortions in this country," she
said after the debate.
She also feels this topic needs
to be discussed less in public.

Settling the w ake of the ¡Phone l eak
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Mobile phone companies raised the bar
of their smart phone
over the past year and
have put the pressure on
Apple's iPhone. In one
of the rarest events in
the technology world,
internet users found pictures of the
fourth version of the iPhone online
last week
Apple has a reputation for not
revealing it's products early or
giving sneak peaks, but pictures of
their new device ended
up Gizmodo.com after
an alleged employee
misplaced a test model
in a Silicon Valley bar.
Given Apple's repumm^ tation, this could have
imgf been an accident, and
very bad news for the
person who lost the
phone. If it was an
actual model of the new iPhone, I
think this was done on purpose.
Just as some studios "leak"

phones such as the Motorola Droid
and the soon-to-be released HTC
Incredible have taken customers
from Apple. I think Apple leaked
the phone to get smartphone users
to wait on their new model.
The look of the phone is also
very different from the previous
three incarnations of the iPhone.
This means customers will need
to buy new cases and accessories
if they want to protect their device.
This leak gives third party companies a chance to have these accessories available on the release day
of the new iPhone.
While there are plenty of new

specs to discuss on the new model,
which can be found all over tech
websites, the most important
factor that people found on the
leaked model was the microSIM
card. Most phone companies
around the world use the standard
SIM card to provide a phone with
its number and give it service with
a provider.
The use of the microSIM means
hackers cannot unlock the new
iPhone to work on other networks that use SIM card, such as
T-Mobile. This also means that
Apple will stay with AT&T as sole
carrier of the iPhone in the US. f
I think this also debunks any
rumors that the iPhone will go to
Verizon. Tech critics and bloggers have bashed Apple's partnership with AT&T. The demand of
the iPhone has strained the AT&T
network, but it appears the fourth
version„will s taj with the same
carrier.

your request." The discovery of
the shredded documents following
a denial by the administration that
such documents existed has raised
questions as to whether or not the
destruction of the documents was
intentional.
Senator Yee has been at the
forefront of an effort to make CSU
operationgs subject to greater
oversight, specifically targeting
501c3 foundations found at CSU
campuses.
"Found within the same files

She said, "The fetus and the
woman are one person and that
one person is the woman. In
order to give women control
of their bodies we need to stop
using them as a battleground for
this debate and allow all decisions about their bodies to be
made at their discretion."
During the debate, both
speakers were able to agree that
they wanted fewer abortions but
differed in how that is accomplished.
Alan Shlemon wants fewer
abortions because that will mean
less "innocent" human beings
from dying. Professor Chadwick
wants religious restrictions on
contraception lifted and women
that the foundation is operated
by taxpayer-funded employees
within the university itself," said
Yee. How can they possibly
claim that no tax dollars are
being used for the Palin event
when state employees are
called in on their furlough day
to help avoid public scrutiny?"
Though the precise fee for the
visit could not be determined
from the confidential documents,
Senator Yee and others estimate
it could be as high as $100,000.
The documents did reveal several
other stipulations, however,
including first class airfare and
luxury accomodations for Palin.
CSU Stanislaus President
responded to the allegations,
educated better about sex. They
also both agreed that abortion is
acceptable when it threatens the
mother's life; this means a without an abortion, the mother will
die and the unborn as well.
The debate finished with audience members' questions asked
to the speakers who had roughly
one minute to respond. Alan
Shlemon was asked about his
views on abortion in the case of
rape. He responded by saying
rape was not a justification for
abortion as a small child conceived through rape would not
be killed after it was born, so he
wonders why an unborn should
be killed as they are the same.
The debate ran in a civilized
manner. The speakers mostly
kept to their time limits and the
saying, "we welcome the
investigation and Expect it will
clarify how a foundation document
could have ended up in a state
senator's hands "
Issuing a statement on behalf
of the foundation, President Matt

student representatives at large

the event. "I thought of doing a

On the topic of abortion, she
said, "We chose abortion for

suggested by students."
There will be more debates
to come, although when and on

of gay marriage and lowering

�Interviewing tips to snag that j ob

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

When asked what students usually do

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

S pray on y our perfect tan
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
With summer so close t anning is
becoming a priority, but the risks of too
much exposure to h armful U V rays are
starting to send people to other means of
attaining the p erfect summer glow.
Tanning has b een around f or years and
will continue to b e a summer activity for
many years to come, but b ringing awareness to the e ffects of soaking up those
rays is essential to any f uture tanner.
Many aim to achieve a healthy glow
each summer, but the t ruth is that the
skin's reaction to sunlight and producing a bronze tan is the skins own n atural
defense mechanism against sun damage.
Producing natural Melanin, the dark hue
in sun drenched skin, is in e ffort to p rotect the skin f rom Ultra Violet (UV) rays.
It i s common knowledge that UV rays are
h armful, but the issue is quickly forgotten
in favor of the skin tone that is p erfect for
summer clothes.
Alternatives to U V tanning beds and
outdoor t anning are easy, quick and better
for your skin.
.
Exposure to the sun can cause many
r isks to our bodies that many people are
still unaware of. According to the US
Department of Health and Human Services over exposure to the sun can result
in premature aging, skin cancer, eye
damage, and immune system suppression. Later in life, sunspots and age spots
can appear giving skin an uneven tone
that o ften worsens with age.
Tanning beds have also become a f requent activity because of their accessibility and rapid results, but in tanning beds
are also a danger for our skin, and have
required certain states to impose an 18
and u p restriction for tanning bed usage.
According to MSNBC, recent results
f rom a study done by the World Health
Organization might be j ust the incentive
that the FDA needs to ban tanning beds
for those under 18.
The risks are very real and because
none of them are fast acting, many people
disregard them. Skin cancer can be considered the most feared result of tanning. Dr. William James, president of
the American Academy of Dermatology
Association stated that, " What was formerly considered a disease of older men
is ballooning in young women, the very
target audience and number one customer
of the tanning industry."
Even though the risks are great in the
most common way of getting that summer
glow, don't b e discouraged, there are
many other methods that are j ust as convenient without the h armful side effects.
Spray on tanning has become more and
more popular in the last couple of years
and the popularity is widely due to the
fact that with this method the perfect tan
can be achieved all year long.
Tanning Salons are popping up all over
San Diego and the results are the same,

if not better than laying out for hours.
Spray on tans now come in a bottle as
well and are easily found in any convenience or beauty store. The options available for achieving the p erfect tan without the risks are p lentiful and therg5§ no
reason for anyone to contijjue damaging
their skin.

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

community cares about their environmental impact in our community and
each make a conscience e ffort to help our
environment.
With this success CSUSM looks to a
greener f uture here on campus that will
b e instilled in students for generations to
come.

Baseball finishes regular season with 6-5 win over A zuza
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
The stands behind the home
dugout were f ull at Poway High
School Monday night, as Cougar
baseball closed out its 2010 regular season with a rousing 6-5
victory over Azusa Pacific.
CSUSM closes out its most
successful season to date with a
31-13-1 record. Azusa is 17-28
with three games remaining.
Prior to the game, CSUSM
honored its seniors playing the
final home game of their careers:
Omar Manzanarez, Ricardo
Moran, Chris Skaalen, Travis
McCracken, Josh Miller, Mike
Pena, McClinton Heil, and Eric
Julienne.
And on the field, the Cougars,
led by those seniors, did their
family, friends, and fans proud
with an excellent effort to earn a
hard-fought win.
It started on the mound with
McCracken, who was in f ull
control for his six f ull innings
of work. He allowed six hits
and three walks while striking
out two, with the only blemish
on his record being a two-run

win to finish the season 7-4.
At the plate, Kevin Silvett

Incredible poetry a nd experience worth sharing
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
To celebrate National Poetry
Month, several poetry readings
were scheduled in the San Diego
County area. An event Sunday,
April 25 at the Georgia Cole
Library near downtown Carlsbad was devoted to presenting
pieces from mystic poets, Hafiz,
Dickinson, and Rumi. The five
poets presenting works from
these writers were Ishmael von
Heidrick-Barnes, Jill Moses,
Brandon Cesmat, Shadab Zeest
Hashmi, and Jon Wesick.
The poets presenting these
works are part of the organization Magee Park Poets, which
was started in 1989 by a group
of aspiring poets who gathered
in Carlsbad's Magee Park. The
presenter Brandon Cesmat, a
creative writing teacher here
at CSUSM, reflected on how
events, such as the one Magee
Park Poets organized, are vital
for student writers because "it's
important for students to understand their heritage, and the
community that's here."
The reading was opened by
Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes
reading Hafiz's "The Vintage Man" using steady pronunciation and eye contact,
which drove the message into
the audience's soul. Hafiz has
already stimulated so many
poets, such as Emerson who
stated, "Hafiz is a poet for
poets...He fears nothing, he
sees too far, he sees throughout.:." The manner in which
Heidrick-Barnes presented the
piece allowed the audience
time to reflect and interpret the
piece as i t moved along. The
presentation of this piece made
Cesmat's commented on how
"hearing pieces read out loud
can actually increase the brains
engagement" seem completely
evident.
Another highlight of the
reading was the poem "Death"
by Emily Dickinson, presented
by Jill Moses, which revealed
the main theme of mortality,
which can be seen in works of
all the poets being presented
at the event. Cesmat followed
by adding movement while he

read the poem "The Music We
Are" by Rumi. His performance
of whirling around in circles
across the room emphasized
the lost meaning presented in
the poem. Cesmat explained
how Rumi "inspires people to
think past barriers, for example
the l ine...The anemones blush
because they have seen the rose
naked'.. .This idea of not being
divided sea to sky, land to sea.
He thinks expansively because
he's not held back by borders."
Cesmat originally started his
writing career as a journalist,
and changed to creative writing
after earning his MFA from San
Diego State University. He has
won San Diego Book Awards in
both poetry andfiction.He looks
forward to reading at Grossmont College where they have
been analyzing his first book,
"Driven into the Shade." He
is editing a second edition for
Classrooms of Poets established
by CPITS, California Poets in
the Schools. Through this organization, he developed the program Laureates in Training, a
program that recognizes student
poets devoted to the poetry writing process, and poetry in the
community.
After the presentation of the
pieces by the mystic poets, the
floor was open for whoever
wanted to share a poem. Leah

create a learning experience for
all poets in the community the
event should have been publicized more extravagantly than
just through selected mailing
and email. By expanding their
audience to people outside of
the Magee Park Poets, they
will be encouraging younger
and unknown writers to recognize poets that should have a
profound affect on their writing. This would also cause the
Magee Park Poets to possibly be
exposed to more diverse poetry,
allowing them to manipulate
their writing to even greater
heights because one of the best
ways a poet can learn is by studying their peers' poetry.

Karp shared her piece called
"Rumi's Place" from her published book of poetry "Innerscapes," inspired by the way
Rumi has the ability to describe
the
indescribable.
Cesmat
shared a descriptive piece,
"Sliding From Seeds," that was
reminiscent of the far-reaching explicit metaphors found in
Rumi's work.
Through this sharing process,
those in the audience that were
not part of the Magee Park Poets
were able to see how the poets
being praised at the event had
affected the poets in the audience, but it also made the event
feel less open and more exclusive. In order to have the event

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

Softball splits with # 5 Point Loma, finishes season series 3 -1
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Facing Point Loma N azarene f or the final time t his
season, #13-ranked Cal State
San Marcos s oftball and the
#5-ranked Sea Lions split a p air
of 1-0 g ames at Point Loma on
Saturday.
CSUSM is now 32-12 on the
year. Point Loma is 24-12.
As is o ften the case when
top-15 t eams play, pitching was
the story. N AIA w ins leader
Brenna Sandberg was on her
game and on the mound for all
15 innings on Saturday. She
was particularly brilliant in
game one, tossing a 2-hit,
11-strikeout, complete game
8 -inning shutout to once again
out-duel PLNU A ll-American
Tyler Lent.
Both pitchers allowed j ust
one hit in the regulation seven
i nnings, sending the contest to
extras. With Lauren Nelson
placed on second in the t op of
the eighth, Shanti Poston delivered the hit of the ballgame,
doubling to l eft-center to score
the g ame's first r un. I n the
bottom of the i nning, center
fielder Elizabeth Bush caught
a line drive and alertly doubled o ff the r unner at second
to e ffectively end Point L oma's
chances.
The w in makes Sandberg t he
first-ever 30-game w inner for
CSUSM s oftball, and the first
N AIA pitcher t his season t o
reach 30.
In game two, Point Loma
scored in the first i nning on
a double-steal and was able
to hold the lead f or all seven
innings.
Sandberg c ertainly
kept her t eam in the game, locking down the Sea L ions' o ffense
and allowing j ust 3 h its and 1
w alk. She struck out t wo batters.
CSUSM h ad its chances,
recording 5 hits and drawing
3 walks, but Sea Lions s tarter
H annah Faria worked t hrough it
to complete t he shutout. Nelson
had two h its in the losing e ffort.
W hile Point Loma is one of
t he best t eams in the N AIA, the
C ougars w ill get another shot
against the absolute best in the
N AIA on Tuesday at Cal Baptist.

was attached to the main

the p rogram gain considerable
exposure
throughout
the
weekend.
By early Monday morning
outgoing campers had already
b egun to f orm a sizable line at
the booth. While the f ocus of
the p roject is tent donations,
many in line o ffered sleeping
bags, c ookware, f lashlights,
foam p ads, and the like, most
of which Tents for R efugees
r eadily a ccepted.
" This is the only weekend
all year I ever camp and we
c ouldn't donate our tent
because we borrowed it, but
my group had some s tuff that
we really d on't need so we
f igured we might as well give
something," said Leah Scott.
Shimon P resents stated
in a p ress release last week,
"Many people buy t ents
b efore a f estival and never
u se them again. Now, t here is
a chance to help someone in
need by t urning them in at the
end of the weekend."
Liam Clarke, a 22 year old
attendee f rom the U K, w as
one such i ndividual. "I f lew
out here a few days early
to buy up a tent and some
camping gear t hinking I might
sell it or give it away a fter the
f estival. I t's a great cause and
c an't b ring the s tuff back with
me so I 'm glad somebody can
take it o ff my hands and put it
to good u se."
Liam was one of many
foreign Coachella p atrons
unable to b ring home their
weekend gear and eager
to donate. However, other
f estival goers with shorter
d istances to travel were
simply t rying t o f ree up some
e xtra room for the r ide home.
" I rode the whole way here
with my luggage in my lap,
you b etter believe I 'm happy
to ditch the tent f or a l ittle

"HOMECOMING"
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Mischa Barton stars in this horror thriller
about a ex-girlfriend who seeks revenge
when her former lover falls for a new
woman. The problems with this film are
the dull acting and the predictable story
that steals from many other great thrillers.

an retired investigator who settles
down to write a book on an troubling unsolved case.
"PRESSURE COOKER"
This film released in theaters last spring

students competing for scholarships into
culinary schools was highly praised and is
definitely worth seeing.

Exit Through the Gift Shop
Starring Banksy and Thierry
Guetta
Directed by Banksy
"Gift Shop" is a slick documentary investigating the proliferation
of street art. This hit at the Sundance Film Festival is a unique
story made by the actual artists.
«44 INCH CHEST"
This film combines Ray Winstone with
the screenwriting crew he worked with in
"Sexy Beast." Though this film is not as
strong as "Beast" it is still a gritty and
dark tale of kidnapping and affairs the
might be worth à rental.

"Avatar" did not have the most original

¡WHAT'S

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

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

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.

It is a nice blend of the large interface of a computer and the quick

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

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.

G rand opening of disc golf course at C SUSM, April 14
THE PRIDE
San Marcos, CA - The o fficial grand opening of the
California State University
San Marcos (CSUSM) Disc
Golf Course will be held in a
ribbon cutting ceremony from
ll:30am-l:oo pm on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at the
Forum Plaza located near the
Kellogg Library.
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 starts on April 12 and runs through

The Tour is attempting to raise more awareness by attempting to bring in legislators, city
and state officials, celebrities and others in an
attempt to draw more media coverage.
"It's a great opportunity to showcase the

The happiest time on earth: h appy hour

A good drink and an appetizing small

There is no argument that happy hour
is the best hour, and here in North County

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

Learn h ow to surf in N orth C ounty
Catch some waves and Optimize the summer experience
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Beach, sun, and surf exemplify the perfect summer, and
one of the best ways to enjoy
these features is by flowing
with one of nature's greatest
wonders in the act of surfing.
The benefits are endless for the
person who embarks on this
great adventure of learning how
to surf.
Personal health should be
important to everybody, and
there is no greater way to get
into shape than by doing an athletic activity that is more fun
than work. MSNBC recently
reported on how surfing is not
only meditative, but great for
the body as well, by presenting
the notion that "dedicated surfers accidentally build physiques
that health-club acolytes would
trade their memberships for."
Also appearing in the report was
Dr. Mark Renneker, a renowned
big-wave rider in San Francisco who recommends surfing
to his non-surfing patients who
suffer from high blood pressure, repetitive strain injuries,
and chemical addictions.
Long time suffers are known
to refer to surfing's other
healing properties, such as
expressed in this testimonial of
a local surfer, "It [puts] you one
with nature, clears your soul of
bad vibes, and can make you
more humble." For whatever the
reason surfing seems appealing,
the experience may even create
more reasons to be drawn to it,
such as the "stoke" of surfing,
an indescribable feeling that
consumes surfers, causing them
to always want more time in the
water.
A crash course in surfing is
best done through instruction,
and due west of San Marcos
there happen to be two camps
that teach children as well as
adults for a decent price. Gerry
Kantor, surfing since the 60s
in the San Diego area, heads
Leucadia Surf. His business is
very reputable since he requires
that all instructors have several water safety certifications,
be avid long time surfers, and
either be a college graduate or
a current college student. The
instructors are also thoroughly
trained and given specific written guidelines for instruction.
Leucadia Surf's set up is on
Moonlight Beach, which they
boast as having "[some] of the
best beginner waves in San
Diego." Depending on if the
participant wants one on one
instruction or group, the cost
can range from $60 to $120 for
a two-hour session. The lesson
also includes the use of a board
and wetsuit.
Another surf camp located
close by is So Cal Surf Lessons,
conducted at North Carlsbad
State Beach, Frazee. Rusty Friesen, a pro surfer, established
this instructional surf business,
which follows similar guide-
lines as Leucadia Surf, in the
summer of 2004. They are a
little cheaper, providing lessons
in the $55 to $95 range, including a free hour of board rental
for students after their lesson.
If a beginner would rather
take on surfing on their own,
they can also rent boards for $8
an hour or $30 for a day, and
wetsuiis for $5 an hour or $20
a day from the establishment,
So Cal Surf Lessons. The surf
shop, Progression Surf, located
on the coast highway in Leucadia rents out soft boards at $20
a day, and $40 for a hard board
for the day. The only complication may be transporting it to
the be&ch.
If beginners try to brave this
sport on their own, they should
acquire a longboard because it
will be easier to stand up on,
obtain a few helpful tips, and
have the ability to swim well. It
sounds funny, but the best way
to learn to pop up on the board is
by practicing on the beach. Put
the board on the sand, and then
lay on it. Next, place the hands
on the board underneath your
shoulders as if doing a push up,
then push up, and slip the feet
separated onto the middle of the
board, in a semi-crouched, and
sideways stance.
<
Once the pop-up is perfected
the next big feat is to make it out
to the waves. The perfect paddling power comes from correct
balance on the board, and alternating arms rapidly. Getting
through the waves can be chal- the nose of the board digs into
lenging, but the more momen- the water. When an agreeable
tum obtained in paddling, the wave appears on the horizon,

remains on course to win
R ecycleMania for sixth y ear in a row
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently set to win its sixth title in
as many years in the international
recycling competition RecycleMania.
CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March
27, since week one, according
to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're
doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign.
"We started out in the lead and
the lead has shrunk a little bit but
were still up by good seven, seven
and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well
enough to come in ahead."

The results of the competition
are announced in mid-April, once
all the participants have sent in
their data, according to recyclemania.org.
Universities and colleges compete against each other over a
10-week period to see which
has the best recycling program.
RecycleMania ranks participants
according to which category they
entef. These categories include
most recyclables per capita, the
highest amount of recyclables, the
least amount of trash per capita,

recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www.
recyclemania.org.
CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title
of Grand Champion for the past
five years in a row.
Hanson said the reason he feels
the campus has done so well over
the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began
the recycling program at the same
time. So when everybody got their
trash containers they got blue
ones. So from the very beginning
in the offices and the classrooms
everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given.
"It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson
saidv
Recycle bins are located all over
the campus and are placed next to
trash containers. They are color
coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT

ASI makes safety a priority for Spring Break fun
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Arts & Entertainment
3 D Experience
On Thursday, March 18 during
U-Hour, ASI held an event to promote the concept that students
can have fun during spring break
while still keeping their safety in
mind. Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption,
sexual protection, transportation,
and activities associated with
spring break.
At the event the mock-tails of
Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only
a refreshment to enjoy with their
Chick-Fil-A but informative facts
about alcohol's effects on the
body. Students who pledged not
to drink and drive during spring
break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also
wore a bracelet, showing other
students through out the day that
they had made the pledge.
When student Stevie Perez was
asked about the pledge he made,
he said, "It's a great reminder. I
will keep the pledge bracelet on to
remind me not to drink and drive,
and to remember to not let my
own friends drink and drive."
At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on
alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The
booth also promoted the RADD
program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with
the RADD logo would receive
free non-alcoholic beverages at
the 23 participating bars in the
Pacific Beach and Mission Beach
area.
If students are staying local,
the event promoted the Breeze
Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can
transport drinking students safely
to the popular areas by the beach,
Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick
up from Oceanside is an early

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

The competition started in 2001
with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and
it now covers over 600^schools,
including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The
growth of RecycleMania can be
further illustrated since such large
corporations as Coca Cola now
sponsor it.
CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals,
tiles and wood as well as green
waste and hazardous waste like
lamps. The next step for the
university is to create a composting program to deal with
the food service areas. This
extra work will not affect the
results of the competition, said
Hanson.
Many students at the event
believed that the purpose of the
event, safety while having fun,
was great to have right before
spring break, but some students
thought that the purpose of the
event was not being fully repre-
sented.
Student Akeisa Abercrombie
commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least
they're taking the initiative to help
people make smart decisions."
The event may not be enough
to guarantee that every student
will have a safe Spring Break,
but it definitely was presented to
enough students to make a difference.
House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
A year long debate on health
care in America has come to an
end as House Democrats passed
legislation this last weekend
to fundamentally overhaul the
nation's health care system in the
coming decades. President Obama
is expected to sign the legislation
on Tuesday, marking the end
of a drawn out and polarizing
public debate that has divided
Republicans and Democrats
across the country. The overhaul
is expected to provide coverage to
32 million uninsured Americans
by 2019.
The reform legislation is
comprised of two separate bills,
the Health Care and Education
Affordability Reconciliation Act
of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care
Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed
with a vote of 219-212, a narrow
victory buoyed by a majority
coalition of House Democrats.
The
House
Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, an indicator of a
lasting partisan divide on the
issue that has come to dominate
the debate.
To secure support from
wavering Democrats, advocates of
the legislation were forced to make
some key concessions, abandoning
ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and
prohibiting the use of federal
funds for abortions. Republicans
unanimously
opposed
the
legislation, indicating the partisan
nature of the health care overhaul
debate.
Under the new legislation,
Insurance
companies
will
no longer be allowed to deny
coverage to individuals based
on pre-existing conditions and
will eventually be barred from
charging higher premiums or
canceling services for these
individuals. The overhaul also
also includes requirements for
workers to insure their employees
and citizens to obtain insurance,
instituting steep fines for failures
to comply.
LastThursdaytheCongressional
Budget Office (CBO) placed
the cost of the overhaul at $940
billion in the first ten years, with
a $138 billion reduction in
the deficit during that
time. The CBO
also projected
a
potential
reduction of the
deficit by as much as one
half percent of the GDP in
the subsequent decade.
President Obama

Solidarity vs. Ignorance:
Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM
commented on the passage of
the reforms, saying, "Congress
finally declared that America's
workers, America's families,
and America's small businesses
deserve the security of knowing
that here in this country, neither
illness nor accident should
endanger the dreams they've
worked a lifetime to achieve."
House Minority leader,
Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio),
expressed his frustration with
the bill just before it went
to a vote, saying, "In
this
economy,
with
this,
unemployment,
with our desperate
for jobs and
economic growth, is this
really the time to raise
taxes, create bureaucracies
and, and burden every job
creator in our land? The
answer is no."

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

Editor-in-Chief
The constant concern over
traveling abroad for students
becomes a growing worry as
spring break gets closer and students brainstorm great travel
plans.
Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is
a popular travel destination with
cheaper hotel costs than other
vacation spots and is known
for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and
fun activities. Although a spring
break get-a-away to Mexico
sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution
must be taken when traveling
aboard.
The U.S State Department,
Bureau of Consular Affairs
have issued a recent travel alert
expressing that a number of
locations along the U.S Mexico
border are experiencing rapid
growth in the rates of robberies,
homicides, carjackings and petty
of our local theme parks. Students
can head to SeaWorld or the Wild
Animal Park for a day of fun with
friends.
The Wild Animal Park offers a

this butterfly jungle allows guests to
walk through and enjoy a simulated

thefts, notably in Tijuana and
northern Baja California within
the last year.
"Mexican drug cartels are
engaged in violent conflict, both
among themselves and with
Mexican security services, for
control of narcotics trafficking
routes along the U.S.-Mexico
border. To combat violence,
the government of Mexico
has deployed military troops
throughout the country. U.S.
citizens should cooperate fully
with official checkpoints when
traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert.
"Common-sense precautions
such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas
during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and
drug dealing might occur, can
help ensure that travel to Mexico
is safe and enjoyable," continued
the advisory.
More safety tips for traveling
include always taking the main
roads and traveling during the
daylight hours, travel in a group,
do not travel alone, and never dis-
play expensive watches, purses or
even jewelry as these items can
viewed as easy targets for crimes.
Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international
cell phone reception and service.
Many carriers offer this service
for a limited amount of days, not
a long-term contract, and for a
sensible price. For convenience
and safety, a cell phone can be
used in case of an emergency.
U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S
Embassy in case of any trouble.
Contact numbers are listed on the
travel.state.gov website.

on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken
gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings
of work. All those runs were
scored in the third inning, and
McCracken was able to bounce
back and shut out CSULA for
the rest of his outing. The win
improves him to 5-1 this season.
A Matt Jenkins solo home run
put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team
found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou-
gars would cut into that lead in
the fourth and fifth innings, with
Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller
in the former, and Miller driving
in Kevin Silvett in the latter.
CSUSM's patience at the
plate played a huge role in the
win. The Cougars drew 11 walks
in the contest, and they played
a key role in a six-run sixth
inning that ultimately decided
the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by
drawing walks, and Ricardo
Moran drove in the inning's first
run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a
Ryle Parks base hit brought two
more runs home. Finally, Pena
earned his second walk to extend
the inning, and an error pushed
the Cougar lead to 9-4.
CSUSM stayed patient in the
seventh, as Moran, Secciani,
Silvett, and Miller were walked
in order to lead of the inning,
making it 10-4.
The Cougars got a taste of
their own medicine in the eighth;
however, as the bullpen walked
three men to start the inning and
CSULA took advantage, scoring
four runs to cut it to 10-8. But
closer Spencer Pardon was able
to work out of it, getting all three
outs in the eighth and working a
relatively easy ninth to pick up
the save.
Game two would play out
much the same way, minus the
late comeback attempt by the
Golden Eagles.
Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the
year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of
work. He gave up four runs in the
third inning, but like McCracken,
was flawless in the rest of his
work.
Silvett got things started for
CSUSM in the first, belting a solo
home run to, but once again the
Cougar offense didn't really kick
in until they were down 4-1.
In the top of the fourth, Johnny
Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the
Cougars would go on to take
their first lead the following
inning. Moran led off the fifth
with a single, and with two outs,
Miller reached on an error, and
Parks made the defense pay with
a huge three-run home run to put
his team up 5-4.
After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom
of the inning, Miller. doubled
home Secciani to put CSUSM
up 6-4. CSULA threatened in
the bottom of the sixth, putting
two on with no outs, but Julienne
entered the game and put out
the fire, inducing a double-play
and fly out to get out of the jam
unscathed.
In the top of the seventh and
final inning, the Cougar offense
put it out of reach. Ferguson and
Omahen led off with singles, and
after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the
bases for Moran. Moran would
put the cherry on top of what has
been a brilliant series at the plate
for virtually the entire Cougar
lineup, ripping a triple down the
right field line to clear the bases.
Julienne struck out the side in
the seventh to earn his first save
of the season, secure the 9-4 win,
and finish off the huge sweep.
The Cougars are off to a great
start to their tour of the CCAA
conference, but things won't get
easier at #2 UC San Diego on the
road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

Cougar Softball cruises to So-Cal sweep
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Brenna Sandberg's 19 strikeouts highlighted a pair of dominating wins for #20 Cougar softball at the Sun West Tournament
on Thursday. CSUSM defeated
Kenyon College 11-0, then the U.
of Puget Sound 10-1.
The wins push CSUSM's
win streak to 8 games, and
improve the team to 16-6 this
season. Sandberg improves to
15-3 this season.
Against Kenyon, the Cougar
offense powered the team to
three runs in the first, one in
the second, two in the third, and
finallyfivein the fifth to close the
game out via the mercy rule.
Shanti Poston led all batters with
three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa
Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all
tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and
Lauren Nelson drove in two runs
each in what was a very balanced
effort at the plate.
On the mound, Sandberg
cruised to the victory, tossing
four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out
five hitters before Ciera Ashman
came in to close out the game.
It was much of the same in the
second half of the double-header,
as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0
lead in the second and never
looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former
going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2
RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5
with her ninth home run of the
season and 5 RBI.
Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a
season-high 14 in six innings of
work. She allowed just three hits
and one run before giving way to
Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect
seventh to cap the victory.
CSUSM will continue play at
the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's
and host school Chapman.

March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change
BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA
CHALMERS
Mar. 4-Four distinguished
members of CSUSM's faculty
convened in Academic Hall 102
today for a teach-in to speak out
against the stripping of funding
for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with
the statewide "day of action," an
eclectic panel of professors from
a multitude of academic fields
offered their critiques of the CSU
and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective
fields of study.
Many students were forced to
stand in the back or sit on stairs
and in passageways as the room
was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live
to dozens of locations on campus
and over the internet, reaching
hundreds more who had class or
were otherwise unable to make it
to the event.
First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects
of cuts to public education as
they relate to the economic wel-

fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering
valuable benefits for the public if
the public chooses to assume the
responsibility of paying for it.
According to Dr. Basu, "as a
college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate
of return, which currently in
the U.S. is about 15%. So you
are making an extremely good
investment by being here because
that 15% is much higher than any
investment you could make anywhere else."
"There is also a social rate of
return-this is only looking at
what the state gets back from
education-and that is about 9%,
which means that even for the
government, for the state, its a
very good investment to invest
in education as opposed to other
areas."
Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science
and Global Studies departments,
assessed the political implications in California of the budget
crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this

issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the
dependency of the CSU and UC
systems on a volatile tax base
bound to unpredictable economic
forces.
According to Dr. Greenwood,
"Ideally what we want to is try to
find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general
fund but also for public education. One possible solution is this
bill [A.B. 656] that's going to tax
oil extraction in California. This
would provide a nice permanent

students to pass before graduating.
As per an expired campus
mandate, undergraduates must
complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency
in Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet.
The decision to eliminate the
requirement, originated from a
recommendation by the Aca-
demic Senate, according to the
Office of the Provost and Vice
President for Affairs.
Should students still feel the
need to educate themselves on
content necessary for computer
competency, it is recommended
they enroll in CS 100. The course
provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same
topics covered in the CCR.
"The Student Technology Help
Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students,"
the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the
second floor of Kellogg Library.
The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC
and Mac.

O ur community shines in dark times
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
The
inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs
and bad budgets has
stretched the f iber of
our school, and the
recent g raffiti inciting hate created even
more disappointment. But the
student and s taff response has
been very encouraging.
The rally against the pay
cuts, f urloughs, enrollment
caps, and other problems we
face because of the budget
cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of
how much of an e ffect a rally
and teach-in would have, but
the climate on campus that day
was h opeful. I was glad to see
so many people come together
because it is easy to forget this
problem is bigger
than one individual
is.
However, what
impressed me the
most was the protest organized by
many student organizations against
hate crimes and discrimination. The
words scribed on the wall of
our campus were ignorant and
upsetting, but I do not want to
draw attention to that.
It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt
strongly enough to do that.
But out of this dark moment,
it was emotionally moving
to see the student body come
together. Our community did
not respond with anger or a
backlash, but with unity and
support.
It would be nice if we could
take these problems away. But
since we live in the real world,
we have to deal with them.
There is no longer a need to
be discouraged or hopeless
in these situations. We have
already proved we can come
together and do something
unexpected.
Now is the time to keep
tumbling dominos to improve

source of revenue for public education and
we wouldn't have to worry about this up
and down that we have been experiencing."
From the Sociology department, Dr.
Sharon Elise discussed public education
in California as it relates to race, gender,
and class issues. Against the backdrop of
recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise
took aim at what she described a system of
"entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always
been something particularly threatening
about educated people of color, something
threatening to the status quo of race and
property distribution in the United States,"
said Dr. Elise.
"The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to
the fight against racial injustice."
Dr. John Halcon from the Department
of Education gave his opinion on some
of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr.
Halcon said, "I believe that when higher
education becomes a privilege, only
the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic."
"In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from
that of well-rounded articulate thinking to
competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of
thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon
Rally at Library Plaza
Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have
left campuses frustrated and demanding a
change.
CSUSM held a teach-in rally that
allowed for students, faculty, and staff to
voice their feelings and struggles on how
the budget cuts have affected them.
In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring
2010 students have experienced tuition
hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff,
fewer classes to choose from and a cap on
the amount of units that may be taken per
semester. These changes have crippled our
campus, leaving students, faculty and staff
aggravated, but motivated to implement
change.
Students are paying more for tuition and
student services but are receiving less than
in years before. Furlough days have taken
10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are
receiving less education they are spending
more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice.
The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student
clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that
shared their feelings of misfortune with
the education system.
The political science club held a "poster
making party" that encouraged students to
bring markers and other decorative items
in preparation for the rally. The student
organization also created an event page
on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell
your friends, classmates, and people in
your community! Everyone needs to know
that CSUSM is participating in this call
to action for public education," said in the
description of the event.
This sort of buzz and excitement for the
rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty
members and united them by creating this
event as a outlet for expression as well as a
movement for change.

Hate crimes spark student involvement in equality protests
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
On March 3, 2010, University Police
responded to a call that vandalism, a
derogatory message targeting multiple
minority groups, had occurred in the
women's restroom in Markstein Hall.
This would be the first of five Hate
Crimes reported on campus within a
week.
The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven
b y seven inches in diameter. University President, Karen Haynes notified
staff and students of the event early the
next day in a campus wide email. "I
will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes. Despite
the strong language, University Police

Baseball completes four game sweep of Illinois Tech
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Cougar baseball completed a
four-game sweep of Illinois Tech on
Thursday, winning a tense game one
5-4 and getting a dominating 12-0
victory in game two.
CSUSM improves to an impressive 13-6-1 this season. Illinois Tech
drops to 0-5.
In the more competitive game,
CSUSM took what seemed to be
a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning
thanks to a big two-out rally. With
nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a
walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single
off thefirstbaseman's glove down
therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin
Silvett drove in the first run with
a base hit Josh Miller was then
hit by a pitch, loading the bases for
Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge
two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen
then hit a ball to second which was
booted and subsequently thrown
away, allowing Paries and Miller to
score to make it 5-0.
With Travis McCracken on the
mound, the game felt like it was over,
but Illinois Tech responded well
McCracken ran into trouble in the
fourth, due in part to his own error
and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single
- surrendering four runs and leaving

Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart
was called on to put out the fire, and
he did so brilliantly, striking out two
batters to close out the frame.
With CSUSM up 5-4, each team
threatened to score, but neither could
push any more runs across. Ricky
Chavarria did an excellent job on
the mound for the Cougars, working
the final three innings and allowing
just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the
win.
Game two would feature no such
drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of
thefirstbefore recording a single out
Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and
Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded
back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0.
After a walk to Miller and single b y.
Parks to load the bases, Steve Harris
unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it
grand slam torightcenter.
The hit parade would continue in
the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with
a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0.
Meanwhile, Brett Miller was
in complete control on the mound
for CSUSM. He worked four easy
innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win
improves him to 2-0 this season.
Secciani singled in a run in the
fourth to make it 10-0; and in the
fifth, doubles by Jordan Polchow
and Mike Pena, along with an Omar

12-0.

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
On Saturday at CSUSM Softball
Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching
and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led
Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1
victory over Biola University, and
Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled
the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4
win in game two.
The sweep improves #20-ranked
CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola
M s to 12-10.
It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality
opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside
from a lapse in the second inning of
game two, looked very good on the
day.
Game one was dominated by
Sandberg, who through six innings
had allowed just one baserunner. She
ended up going the distance, striking
out ten batters while surrendering just
one unearned run on two hits and one
walk to pick up her 10th win of the
season.
The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning
by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her
team-leading sixth home run of the
season.
From there, CSUSM would pick
up an insurance run in the fifth, with
Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild
pitchfollowinga base hit and an
Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars
would tack on another in the sixth,
with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off
with a single, advancing to third on
a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring
on a solid Shanti Poston single up the
middle.
The 3-1 margin would hold, as
Sandberg worked through a little
trouble in the seventh to preserve the
victory.
Game two would require some
perseverance, but the Cougars rose to
the challenge. Biola played small ball
in the second, taking advantage of a
Cougar defense that committed three
errors and made some questionable
decisions to take an early 4-0 lead
But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of
the frame as Villalpando delivered a
big two-RBI single that plated Coelho
and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando.
And in the third, the Cougars
would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the
ball, doubling to lead off the inning.
Ashman drew a walk, and a base
hit by Poston loaded the bases. That
brought up Villalpando again, and
once again she knocked a two-RBI
single right up the middle to give
CSUSM a 5-4 lead
That score would hold for most of
the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe
ship on the mound and the defense
settled in. In the bottom of the sixth,
Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home
run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg
would finish it off; as Poston made
a nice leaping catch at shortstop to
record the game's final out
Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season.
CSUSM will be back at home on
Saturday to host Bethany University
for a double-header starting at noon.
Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
A day after the Cougar distance
runners competed at the Occidental
Distance Carnival, the rest of the
team participated in the Point Loma
Invitational, hosted by Point Loma
Nazarene on Saturday.
And for the second straight day,
plenty of Cougar athletes punched
their tickets to Nationals.
On the women's side, the 4x100-
meter relay team earned the "A"
standard, guaranteeing them a spot
at Nationals. The team of Aimee
Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary
Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds,
good for second place at the meet.
The 4x400-meter team got the
"A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury,
Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of
3:54.28.
Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter
dash, running 57.67 seconds to win
the event.
In the field, Andrea Talhami
earned the "A" standard in the
triple jump with a distance of 11.48
meters. She finished in second
place.
On the men's side, the 4x100meter relay team earned the "A"
standard and won the race. The
team of Thomas McDougal,
Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein,
and Nicholas Henderson posted a
time of 41.78 seconds. That same
team also met the "B" standard in
the 4x400-meter relay, winning the
race with a time of 3:17.73.
Harbour also earned his individual "A" standard in the 400-meter
hurdles with a time of 52.6 seconds.
He won the event as well.

�Surf team competes at state championships
Team members advance toward national title
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Surf Team competed in the NSSA Interscholastic State Championships on
March 5-7 at Huntington Pier,
and placed 8 among the other
21 competing teams.
Huntington Beach offered the
competitors decent weather, and
2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the
final rounds, the wind increased
to bring the surf up to a peaky
th
5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was
a dominant force that crushed
the rest of their competitors in
the finals leaving their score at
162. The runner-up UCSB only
scored 132.
The surfers competing are
judged on their best two waves
in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to
advancing. Unfortunately luck
can be a variable as well.
The team didn't fair well in
round one. Kailtin Maguire and
Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on
Sunday in the semi-finals for
the long board division. The
long board division is co-ed, and
Maguire is the only woman who
has been able to break into the
final round in previous events.
Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events.
Mick Rogers is ranked 6th
after competing in all four
events. He said, "I started off
the event on a positive note,
managing to string together a
couple of good turns with some
nose rides, but on Sunday, due to
crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put
it all together."
Rogers said that the benefits
of being part of the CSUSM
surf team are, "To be part of a
team, with people that all share
similar interests." He said he
enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up
and down the California coast."
Both Rogers and Maguire see
surfing as something they can
enjoy easily while still making
time for school. Maguire said
"School is a once in a iifetime
opportunity, and you can't really
Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in
the future. These days it seems
that even the best of the pros are
struggling to make a life out of
surfing." The team represents
the school in competitions, but
also allows these individuals to
be able to do what they enjoy
while still planning for their
future.
Even though the other team
members didn't advance into
final rounds, the experience of
competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National
Championships in June, where
they will defend their title. Last
year, the team won their first
National Title for the school in
Photo by Mike Rogers
a tiebreaker finish against west
coast school UNCW.
Scott McBride, who took 4th
place in the men's short board
division at last year's National
Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding,
the team has Alexa Thornton,
who is ranked a promising 7th
out of 63 other competitors. Last
year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level.
Laura Thatcher and Summer
Meyer are contenders as well,
ranking in the top 25. The team
also has the assistance of their
veteran advisor Amber Puha to
help them capture the title again.

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

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in
May 2000. Sheriff Gore said
Gardner has been uncooperative

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. Paul
Levikow from the San Diego
County District Attorney's office
said, "There are murder cases
that get tried without a body.
There is one going on now."
Parents Brent and Kelly King
insist they will continue to search
fortheir daughter, aided by friends
and volunteers from around the
community. Those involved in
the search have relied heavily
on social networking sites like

Facebook and Twitter to spread
up to date information. Those
interested in volunteering can go
to Chelsea King Search Center
located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza
Court. More information on
search efforts can also be found

Authorities have requested
those with any information

of Chelsea King to contact the

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

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

There will also be a festival at the event, which involves

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

pretty sure [teachers] aren't

they're not supposed to be giving

I understand that the teachers
have lots of stressful things; they
have to do research and maintain

They have a lot of work to do. I
understand that."

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
Taking a closer look at
CSUSM's first radio station
and the students inside the
studio and on the airwaves,
Thi Pride got the privilege of
having a Q&A with the maker
behind CSUSM College Radio.
V=The Pride
RV= Rosario Vizcaino,
President of CSUSM College
Radio.
P: whose idèa was it to start a
college radiò station?
RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008
with the help of my classmate
Ryan Mcelroy. It initially
started as an idea for a class
project, which unfortunately
was dropped by our professor
and a few classmates because
it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project
at that time."
i*It wasn't over for me
just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately
CSUSM radio station and setup a
media
that we would be the first students to come up with it."
P: How did the project evolve
and get developed?
RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one
of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately
went forward with the process of forming a club, which
was finalized at the end of
November in 2008.
With the minimal
support we initially had,
I had then
decided
that col1ege
r adio
w ould
happen no
matter what.
P: How did
you start a radio station from
scratch?
RV: "I acquired the domain
name and created a web page
for the radio station. I hosted it
s treaming service. With
the
help of Ryan, I made a simple
design that would be easy to
use and yet it would be robust.
We tested it and loved it."
"With no expectations of the
outcome, we then went over to
Student Life and Leadership on
campus and made a live demo
which generated an immediate
positive chain reaction. We had
created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it
has been granted full status as
an organized club on campus
as of February of 2010."
"Yes we are new and we
plan to be here for a long
time!"
P: What is your
m ission
statement?
RV:
"By the
s tudents
for the
students!"
P: What
type of radio
s t a - tion would you
consider yourself?
RV: "CSUSM College Radio
was founded with a purpose in
mind and that is to encourage
and promote cultural diversity
on campus. So send us your
request and if you feel you have
the courage to talk on the radio
email us collegeradio@csusm.
info."
P: How can students listen in
and interact with college radio?
RV: "Please go to www.
csusm.info and send us your
request through our contact
page. You can chat with us or
simply call us at (760) 6704131."
P: What does college radio
strive for in the future? What
will become of college radio?
RV: "College Radio is here
to stay."
P: What are unique projects
will our college radio host?
RV: "We will cover news,
sports, current events and your
favorite music."
CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online
streaming, their interactive
website offers video shows of
the most recent student organization fair and they are eager
to begin offering footage and
live radio casting from sporting events.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. The following game will
be March 6 playing Chapman
again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at
Escondido High School.
"A lot of people don't know
about CSUSM's baseball team.
We love our fans, but we would
love it if even more CSUSM
students and fans could make
it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior.
With the new Softball field
built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty.
Now, the baseball team awaits
their turn for a home field here
on campus. Even with their
home fields spread out around
San Diego at Escondido High
School, Poway High School,
and Point Loma, the team's
season thus far has shown a
great amount of success and
dedication.
"I think our team should do
pretty well this season though.
Hopefully, we can make it to
playoffs and win," continued
Julienne.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-

cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

cial aspect to this type of film
is can it create the tension and
the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account,
there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that
will keep you glued to the edge
of your seat. The slow build up
of the music and the different
use of camera angles create the
tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in

If you are the kind of person
that likes movies that make you
'jump out of your seat' then this
one is for you, countless scenes
can make the viewer leave their
chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take
them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the
way through. However, for me
some of the scenes became a
little predictable, as it was clear
towards the end that the 'jump
out of your chair' moment was
coming, and as a result I wasn't
surprised when it did.

Recall
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
On March 4, Students and Faculty across California will join
thousands of demonstrators across
the state in what is being billed as a
"Day of Statewide Action for Public
Education." All 23 campuses in the
California State University system
will hold demonstrations to address
California's underfunded public
education programs.
Though the budget crisis in California's public universities has
received much of the public 's attention in recent weeks, the "Day of
Action" will take aim at the state's
underfunding of public education
across the board.
According to the California Faculty Association (CFA), "March 4th
will be a unified effort of education supporters from all segments
of public education in California
where participants will hold rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins,
and other types of events on every
CSU campus and at other locations
across the state "
The first half of the demonstration will consist of a a teach-in and
panel discussion in Academic Hall
102, which will run from 10:30 a.m.
to 11:45 a.m.
Dr. Scott Greenwood, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, Dr. Sharon Elise, and
Dr. John Haicon are expected to
head the panel. The teach-in will
also be simulcast at various locations
on campus, at Palomar college, and
online at www2.csusm.edu/cfa/.
Don Barrett, President of
CSUSM's CFA chapter, says the
panel "will address a range of topics
including the California Master Plan,
access to publicly-funded higher
education, the
role of education
as a public good,
and "deliverology" and its
impact on educational excellence."
Immediately
following the
panel discussion, demonstrators
will
move to Library
Plaza, where a
rally will take
place
from
1 1:50-12:50.
During the rally,
students, faculty, and staff
will share personal testimonies on how the
budget crisis has
affected them.
The idea for
a statewide day
of demonstrations emerged
last October at
the Statewide
Mobilizing
Conference held
at UC Berkeley.
Hosted
by the California Campaign
to Save Public
Education, the
conference
drew together
hundreds of students and faculty to collaborate on a
method for bringing attention to the
crisis in California's public education.

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

Today's column is about a difficult but important topic. According

many of us wonder, are our students

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

Please, if you are feeling desperate or dangerous, or if you are seriously concerned about someone who
might be, use these numbers. And

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

The CFA Board of Directors officially endorsed the idea on Dec. 5,
2009 with a resolution calling on
campus CFA chapters to hold "large
on-campus actions that are effective, strategic, and highly visible" on
March 4.
Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA
said, "The future of our country and
our state are at stake. Our kids need
public education from pre-school
all the way to PhD. The slashing
of education funds has to stop, and
the only way to fight back is for the
entire education community to stand
together," said Taiz.
Participants in the demonstrations are expected to address budget
cuts, student fee increases, dwindling course selection, admissions
restrictions, layoffs, furloughs, and
a myriad of other issues plaguing

The achivement was the result
of hard work by a special HSI task

task force was "a group of f aculty, s taff, student, and community representatives, who have
been working diligently to help
the University achieve this designation since I first gave them
their charge in 2004."
"As CSUSM enters its third
decade of service to our region,
we can all b e proud that our
commitment to the historic mission of public higher education
is continuing to move forward.
Not only does achieving HSI

Toyota recall: H ow safe is your ride?
BY MAbLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Toyota makes a majority
of the vehicles seen here on
campus because they a re known
for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the
trust in these vehicles has been
put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles
being recalled.
The p urpose of the recall
was brought t o the attention of
Toyota by a series of accidents,
but many Toyota c ustomers
have come f orward since the
recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained
about unwanted acceleration
before t hese accidents took
place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has
caused some Toyota owners to
realize that not only can ihey
not have t rust in their vehicles
p erformance, but they also
c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir
safety!
A fatal accident involving a
Lexus ES 350 took the lives of
four people in Santee, where the
vehicle speed up to 125mph on
the freeway before it crashed
past a truck and went air born
off an embankment. Accord-M
ing to Toyota, the crash was
caused by the throttle being
wedged down because there
is, "...potential for accelerator
pedals to become trapped near
the floor by out-of-position or
inappropriate floor mat installations."
Toyota owners who are
affected by this fiobr mat recall
are instructed to take out the
removable driver's mat and to
not replace it with any other
mat. The Carlsbad Toyota
Supervisor, Jana Leopard,
said that this recall j ob would
require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will
be reduced. They will also
shorten the accelerator pedal,
and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the
f uel line to be shut off when
the brake and throttle are being
pushed at the same time, so
that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator.
The other recall is to solve
the sticky accelerator problem,
which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the
modifications. For this recall,
the customer c an have access
t o a rental car, but they must
be twenty-one years old. To
f ix the problem the dealership
will install a reinforcement bar

for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and
vehicles in colder climates.
Toyota had f irst believed that
the unwanted acceleration was
only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with
instances such as the one that

Toyota is making the correct
steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but
the question is have they really

Jim Lentz, President of

BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
We've all seen those signs on
campus: "If you're sick, stay home!"
Most people would not hesitate at
the chance to skip a day of class,
but when you are not feeling so bad
that all jyou want is to stay in bed,
taking a sick day has the potential
to be boring.
If Me common cold is what ails
you, there are a few coldfixesmost
everyone has at hdme to fill a day
with healing power (or at least
something to do).
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not only takes a little time to
prepare, but it is afeaone of the most
vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to ^biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in
the growth and rebuilding of bone
and muscle. Stay away from chalky
vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food
and Nutrition board recommends
nutrient intake primarily through
foods rather than multivitamins,
since the latter are synthetic and less
easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in February is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood
in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately)
is typified by depressed moods
during Fall and Winter, mostly
because of a vitamin D deficiency.
According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Listen to mom, have some
chicken soup. The old mantra
as a standby for cold treatment is
more valid than you might think.
Soup has much more water in it
than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to
fight off a cold virus. Parsley and
carrots, traditional ^hicken soup
ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep
eyes, skin and mucous membranes
moist, in case that dry cough is

com).
Read: chocolate and peanut
butter. This does not mean a
Reese's binge is acceptable here,
but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations of
cacao is preferred, according to the
USDA National Nutrient Database.
Organic peanut butter made from
oil-roasted peanuts and minimal
sweeteners is your best bet; only
100 grams of peanuts or peanut
butter provides nearly half of the
RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of
your body, including the eyes. Calm
redness in your eyes with the super
anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool
until it is barely warmer than your
skin, and rinse your; face with it.
According to | he FDA, chamomile
causes allergfc reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution on

tian starter Ranulfo Grijalva was
solid as well, and the game stayed
scoreless for the first four innings.
Finally, CSUSM broke through
in the fifth, taking a 3-0 lead.
Mike Pena drew a walk, and with
two outs, Matt Jenkins continued his hot hitting with a big RBI
double. That brought up Ricardo
Moran, who gave his team some
breathing room with a two-run
homer, his first of the season.
But San Diego Christian would
tie it back up with one swing of the
bat in the seventh, as Luis Perez
hit a three-run homer with no outs
to chase Miller from the game.
The Cougar bullpen would
hold strong, however. Relievers Auggie Richardson and
Ricky Chavarria combined to get
through the seventh, and after Silvett doubled in Omar Manzanarez

Dynamically priced music d ownloads
Amiestreet.com
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
Amiestreet.com is every music lovers
dream. It isn't only an avenue for new music,
but an active community for every musical
taste.
The site is a place to buy, in their words,
"dynamically-priced MP3 downloads." Their
claim to fame is the way they sell the music. All
tracks start out at a very low price, sometimes
even free, and as their popularity rises the price
does as well.
Albums are also available to purchase. The
way it works is when a track is being constantly
bought, the price will go up. If a song is new
or not as popular, the price remains low. Prices
can range from free or $0.01 to $0.98 and
albums from $0.00 to $8.98. The platform is
very simple and effortlessly navigated by users
with simple links and features and is easy for
anyone with basic computer knowledge.
Their process is a great way for a person to
search for new music. Ifthe price is high, many
people enjoy the song. If it is low, chances are
it is not as well liked. They also have great
rewards for using their site. As you buy you
can recommend (REC) music that you like. By
recommending, you can earn money to your
account to be able to purchase more.
With this purchasing mechanism comes a
new way for artists to gain steam within the
industry. Amie Street lets artists develop a
following through their website as they make
more money.
But that's not the best thing about them. A
s elf-proclaimed,

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

announced for the

to see the picks. The
Academy did a fine
job picking the films
this year. I think the
usual five left out
too many films that
deserved praise. The
ten picks this year
are a cross section of
some great films from several
genres.
First, I was most pleased with
the nomination of Disney/Pixar's
"Up." Despite the franchise's
strong history of films, this is
only the second animated film
ever to be nominated for Best
Picture. And it deserved it. It
was one of my favorite films of
the last decade and is an instant
classic. Though I do not think it
will upset "Avatar" or "The Hurt
Locker," I was pleased the Academy broke the barrier for animated films.
I was also happy about the
diversity of the films, spanning
from the highest grossing movie
of all time, to some equally
enjoyable independent films.
Indie films usually are snubbed

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

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

Super Bowl XLIV occurred
this past Sunday February 7,
2010 in Miami Gardens, Florida, in Sun Life Stadium. This
much-anticipated game featured The American Football
Conference (AFC) champions,
the Indianapolis Colts, and
the National Football Conference (NFC) champions,
the New Orleans Saints. The
game started at 6:28 P.M. (ET)
with the Saints receiving the
ball f irst. The Saints started
slowly with three plays and
then a punt. The Colts struck
first with a field goal by Matt
Stover, the oldest player ever
to play in a Super Bowl Championship game, making the
score 3-0 Colts.
Later in the f irst quarter,
quarterback Peyton Man-
ning connected with tight end
Pierre Garçon for a 19-yard
touchdown pass, which made
the score 10-0 Co Its. In second
Quarter, the Saints began
to show some life as Garrett Hartley kicked a 46-yard
field goal to make the score
10-3 Colts. Ending the second
quarter, Hartley kicked a
47-yard field goal making the
score 10-6 Colts.
At the Sun Life Stadium
"The Who" was main act with
a spectacular light show and
half-time performance. Some
of the classic songs "The
Who" performed were "Teenage Wasteland" and "Who are
you?" After a much-needed
break, the third quarter kicked
off as a shock to all spectators. For the f irst time in
Super Bowl history, the Saints
kicked an on-side kick and
recovered the football.

After the idea caught on, it
seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs
kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for
the most mix tape-worthy holiday
of all, Valentine's Day.

Campus earns a top spot in
nationwide contest
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is considered one of the best universities in the nation when it comes to recycling.
For the past 10 weeks, CSUSM has competed with universities from all across the
country, including Harvard, Yale, and UC
Davis in Recyclemania. This is the first time
CSUSM has entered the competition and has
a very good chance of winning the recycling
rate category this year.
The official results will be announced
April 15; at the last count CSUSM was winning and about 3.30 percent ahead of second
place.

On Monday, April 11, the Progressive

411 Environmental Awareness Event from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. in Forum Plaza. The event featured ranged ethnic dance, performance art,
and various booths offering information to

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

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.

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

classes is available at the university police

MEChA remembers
Cesar Chavez
Student organization holds vigil for workers right leader
E
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
In memory of Cesar Chavez,
a large diverse group of about
40 students, friends and family
gathered at Chavez Plaza on
Thursday, April 7 for a vigil
to remember Cesar Chavez.
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

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.

Cesar Chavez can be found at:

"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

�Expensive hot metal between your thighs
The bestfeeling of
your life.., or death
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
It's probably the most exhilarating thing you will ever do. 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

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

�Earnings potential
BY ZACHARY J. 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

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.

�The SB5 debate on campus
was quite the eye opening experience. 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

THE PRIDE
Worship:
a reality check
BY ALFRED CHU
For The Pride
"American Idol" embraces the
American Dream: being rich,
famous and living the good life. 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

�Subliminal screaming
satiates "Slipknot" supporters
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Pride Staff Writer
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
Six. Six. Five. Four. Three. 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

Jordison was playing completely sideways. That's

Fans suffer " The Massacre"

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

lack of effort still surpasses 50's
weak diss. 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. To
make matters better, the special edition—an even bigger
rip off—features an extended
version of "Hate It or Love It,"
which is a track originally from
the album of former G-unit

such as the recycled version of
"Magic Stick," "Candy Shop,"

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

"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.

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.

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

In spring 2012, the Major
League Baseball (MLB),
San Diego Padres will ditch
their wave styled font and
shadowy colors around
the player's numbers for a
bolder, traditional look.
During the 2011 season,
the Padres debuted their
military inspired uniform
that featured a digital camouflage design, which will
remain the same.
Throughout the team's
history, the primary uniform changed four times.
The original 1975 edition
Padres uniform was yellow
and brown and stated the
city they represented.
In 1984, their uniforms
changed again to a retro
look, that kept the same
colors.
The 1998 season introduced the blue and white
colored jerseys.
The last change occurred
in 2005, when the Padres
updated their look to a

Other religious and cultural holidays celebrated during the u)inter season
Kyle M.Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
While Christmas is one of the
most widely-celebrated of
holidays in American
culture, many other
holidays take place in
close proximity in the
calendar.
Another form of the
Christmas celebration exists
in the Catholic tradition. While
many Christmas celebrations
pay tribute to the birth of Jesus,
Catholic celebrations express a
form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord.
According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The
Catholic Church has designated
the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare
the way of the Lord.'"
The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in
great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent
wreath, the blessing of the
tree and the Christ and
Mary candles act as a
symbol of the faith of
the Catholic Church.
Hanukkah is a Jew-
ish holiday that is celebrated for
Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday

Artificial vs. live Christmas trees
What do you prefer?

Do you prefer the Christmas
tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the
consistency and convenience of
an artificial Christmas tree?
People have different opinions
on the matter because it's related
to family traditions.
"Its easier to have a fake tree. I
grew up with a real tree til [sic]
my parents got lazy," student
Adam Dettelbach said.
According to Art Espinoza,
"The Christmas Tree Guy," at
Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ-
mas trees and are energy efficient.
Though there are many pros to
artificial trees, some people still
prefer real ones.
"I like real Christmas trees, if
they stay alive. I mean sure fake
Christmas trees will save you in
the long run, but they take up so
much space in storage and you
have to assemble them," student
Chandra Charette said.
Artificial Christmas trees do not
have the beloved pine smell and
tend to be pricey.
It's also a hassle to assemble
and disassemble the artificial tree
each year, let alonefinda place to
store it.
Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees.
According to tree farmer Bill
Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live
Christmas trees are fresh, have
that wonderful "Christmas" smell
and you get the pleasure of going
out and picking your own Christmas tree.
There are a few cons in buying
a live tree.
Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes
a mess with pine needles.
No matter how you feel on
whether on the matter, it's up to
you.
"Christmas is not Christmas
without the real Christmas tree,"
student Tara De Gaetano said.

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

Ringing i n t he New Year with roses
Melissa Martinez ,
Pride Staff Writer
If you don't have special plans
to celebrate the New Year, the
Tournament of Roses Parade is
an amazing experience to take
part in.
Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles
County, 2 hours away from San
Marcos) housed traditional floats
made entirely out of flowers as
well as the "Rose Bowl" game,
which consists of the top colle-
giate college teams in the U.S.
Marching bands, floats and
people come from all over the
country to partake in this historic
event, camping out days ahead of
time in Old Town Pasadena, with
tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of
the historic city.
Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and
the Grand Marshallr as well as
the Rose Princesses and Queen,
high school students who have
been chosen from a cohort of
12th grade females, who have
auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's
queen.
*
Beginning bright and early on
Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose
Parade will make its journey
throughout Pasadena to present
the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut
of their floats. The Rose Parade
is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining
those who travel from all over
the country to
welcome another year of life.
However, if you already have
plans in celebrating the New Year
elsewhere, you can always watch
the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all
day long Jan. 2.
Fast forward your career.
Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes,
and convenient block'scheduling—ideal for working professionals.

Dec. 12, 2011 will be quite a
day for me. No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't
be going on a tropical vacation.
Actually, I'm going to the Ellen
DeGeneres Show for her Twelve
Days of Giveaways. So far, it's
looking way better than a trip to
Hawaii.
If you think you just show up
at Warner Brothers Studios in
Burbank on the day of the show's
taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to
the letter. Those who attend the
Twelve Days of Giveaways must
be invited by Ellen herself, a treat
I received back in April of 2011.
My mom—a die-hard Ellen
fan—scored tickets to a taping of
the Ellen show on April 20 and,
of course, invited yours truly.
Fortunately, the guest packet
mailed prior to the show outlines
the dos and don'ts of an Ellen
audience member. If you're late,
you're out. If you're without ID,
you're out. If you're a convicted
criminal, you're out (seriously—
the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its
audienôe).
Once you find yourself on the
Ellen soiundstage, chances are,
y ou'll there to stay. Before you
go into the studio, you have to
walk through what Ellen c au^ne
"riff raff' room. This is where the
stand-by people who show up the
day of the show go if there were
no cancellations or open seats in
the audience. It is actually Ellen's
very beautiful and well appointed
gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs
for remote viewing of the live
show.
•.
The riff raff room leads the
audience into the set as you see
on TV. If you wear bright colors,
you're more likely to get a seat
toward the front of the stage as
per the direction of thé audience
managers. Also, I sure did see a
lot of blondes in the front row.
Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than
brunettes or anything.
Anyway, once you're seated,
fun, hilarious people warm-up the
audience pre-show and get you
dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour
before the show even begins.
' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The
crowd screams and cheers with
what energy they have remaining
as Ellen dances up and down the
aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to
Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to
see Reese Witherspoon talk about
her movie "Water for Elephants,"
Paul Walker discuss something
related to his career (all I recall
is getting an advanced screening
of a cologne commercial he was
starring in) and a young Justin
Bieber wanna be called Jackson
Guthy perform a song that is still
stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G.
Overall, i t was a pretty entertaining group.
i;
Throughout the whole show, Ellen kept teasing us with iPad stories. Every single person thought
we were going to get an iPad by
the end of the show. When Ellen

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

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

It is now that time of the year; hot chocolate in front of warming fireplaces, Christmas
lights brightening up neighborhoods and my personal favorite: Christmas music. There

issue's playlist is dedicated to Christmas music that warms our hearts as we prepare for
this holiday season.
You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for
Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was
the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year.

O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just
the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the
best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no
real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy
collection of toys a nd g adgets.
There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing
a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy
t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird
things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store.
This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set.
Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running.
One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder
mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by
Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity.
Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone."
Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between
characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue
listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship.
Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little
Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's
1 : C h r i s t m a s episode.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as
he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v:
In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded
by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite.

Tuition rises 9 percent for fall 2012
T uition fnr Cal State San MarTuition or P al Qtat^ Qon A/To*.
cos students will rise another 9
percent next fall as the result of a
budget vote last week by the California State University Board of
Trustees.
At a raucous meeting in Long
Beach on Nov. 16 - where student
protestors disrupted the meeting
by chanting and waving signs trustees voted 9 to 6 to approve
a budget that will raise tuition by
$498 per year to $5,970 beginning in fall 2012.
CSU tuition has more than
doubled since 1999, when it
was $2,572 per student. Over
the years, tuition hikes covered
budget deficits caused by declining state support. The CSU's $2
billion budget for 2012-2013 is
smaller than the $2.14 billion
budget in 1999, even though there
are 72,000 more students attending CSU campuses today, trustees
reported.
University officials anticipate
the latest tuition increase will be
the last for the 2012-2013 school
year - even though the state may

$100 million if year-end tax rev-

enues come up short.
"If they cut another $100 million from the budget, our portion
would be $2.5 million," said Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman
Margaret Lutz. "We have some
ideas on how to keep those cuts
from negatively impacting students or instruction."
She said this may include shift-
cuts, growing class sizes and a
wage freeze caused by statewide
budget cuts.
Don Barrett, CFA chapter president at Cal State San Marcos, said
the protest drew a small crowd of
students, including a few who
joined in.
Last week, faculty at the CSU
East Bay and Domínguez Hills
campuses held a one-day strike,
the first in CFA history, Barrett
said.
"We've never struck before,"
he said. "In the past, we had to
threaten to strike to get the chancellor's office moving and this
time we felt we needed to go qn
strike. I want to be clear, the strike
was not over the lack of a contract
but over salary issues that happened over the previous contract.
The strike reflected the chancellor's decision to not treat the faculty fairly." Photo courtesy of Don Barrett

Native American H eritage Month
celebrated with new facility
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM opened the California
Indian Culture and Sovereignty
Center (CICSC), Nov. 17, in
the Social and Behavioral Science Building to facilitate Native
American activities on campus
and collaborate with California
tribes.
"There is simply no other place
in California like this one," President Karen Haynes said at the
opening speech.
November is Native American
Heritage month and the CICSC
is open to all California tribes including the 18 tribes in southern
California. It is a meeting place
for American Indian Student Association (AISA) and many other
outreach and development programs.
"With the opening of this center
we are creating a brighter future... and creating history once
again at Cal State San Marcos,"
President Haynes continued.
The CICSC addresses Native
Americans face a unique challenge in attending college as they
most often are leaving a reservation for the first time. This is the
first center dedicated to Native
Americans in the CSU system.
There are more than 10 student
members of AISA and they aim
to "create solidarity among Indian students...and to meet other
American Indians," Tommy Devers, a CSUSM Masters of Sociology student and member of the
Pauma Indian Tribe said.
"Native American peopled
dreams are just as important as
anybody else's," Chairman James
Ramos said, the first Native
American to be appointed to the
California Board of Education.
Dr. Joely Proudfit is the CICSC
director and collaborates with local tribes and tribal leaders to run

A mountain lion was spotted on
campus Wednesday night. It was
the fourth time in five years that
the big cats have been seen on
university property.
About 10 p.m. Nov. 16, campus
police got a call from an emergency kiosk in student Lot F at
the south end of campus. When
they responded, police spotted the
mountain lion, or cougar, heading
back up into the hills near Lot F,
according to university spokeswoman, Margaret Lutz.
Lutz said it was the first time a
mountain lion had been seen on
campus since October of last year
(lions were also spotted several
times at the south end of campus
in 2007 and 2008) .
'With so much open space in
the area, we have a lot of wildlife
that comes on campus at nights
looking for food. People say
they've spotted deer. The moun^
tain lions always seem to show up
in the fall months and they usually always hunt alone," Lutz said.
Cougars are native to the area
and CSUSM's official mascot.
The campus is built on Luiseno
Indian laud. The university's
original mascot was Tukwut, cougar, in Luiseno.
Although there's never been
a dangerous encounter between
a mountain lion and students or
faculty, Lutz said the California
Department of Fish and Game is
advising students to avoid walking alone on campus at night. If
you encounter a mountain lion,
do not run (because it will trigger the cat's instinct to chase) but
stand your ground, wave your
arms and make noise to scare it
off. If a lion is spotted, call campus police from a kiosk or from a
cell phone at 760-750-4567.
Council, the only one of its kind
in the CSU system. In six months,
the CICSC and its partners developed a Luiseno language learning
program for the Nintendo DSI.
The center has resources including workstations, offices and
research capabilities to focus on
concerns and issues regarding
tribes or Native American students.

Internationally-acclaimed poet reads at CSUSM
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Poet Clayton Eshleman was
featured as the last part of the
fall semester's Community and
World Literary Series (CWLS)
on Thursday.
Professor Mark Wallace introduced Eshleman with much
praise as having been at the heart
of American poetry since the early 1960s.
Eshleman has contributed to the
literary world through his own
poetic production and the trans-
lating of poems from poets Cesar
Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Henri
Michaux.
Eshleman took the stage and announced that he would be reading
nine poems from his book "Anticline," thefirstpoem a recounting
of an experience he and his wife
had in Italy.
Following the first poem, he
shared that he has been translating poetry as long as he has been
reading and writing it.
Between poems, Eshleman
would often share anecdotes and
personal trivia which gave the audience a perspective into his nature as a writer.
"I write a lot of poems about art
or artists," he said, sharing how
if he had been turned to the left
or right, he would have been a
painter.
Eshleman's reading of his poetry often felt conversational,
especially in the literal sense during his last reading, a dialogue
between himself and the artist
Max Ernst. His imagery, at times
graphic, led to much laughter in
F eatures
the audience, as well as the occasional audible "Wow!" Even
Eshleman laughed through some
his own words as he read.
During the Questions and Answers portion, topics approached
included when Eshleman started
writing, his view of surrealism,
thoughts on the future of publishing houses in the internet age and
the importance and influence of
travel.
Dr. Wallace, who headed the
series, felt that this semester's
CWLS was beneficial for students
because he brought in writers normal literary exposure.
The CWLS will begin again in

No Shave November for a c ause P rofessor S potlight
Helps raise money for cancer research
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wondered why men seem to neglect
their beards during the winter? Maybe as
their way of staying warm or in honor of a
tradition called No Shave November.
On Oct. 31, dedicated men shaved their
beards for the last time to grow out for the
duration of November. Most
men decide to grow out their
facial hair to support prostate
cancer awareness month. The
goal is to embrace hair and
let it grow to unimaginable
lengths. Since most cancer
patients lose their hair to
chemotherapy
treatments,
non-shavers can donate the
money they would normally spend to
maintain their hair to cancer research. No
Shave November is less expensive than
shaving every couple of days and is tax
deductible.
According to the National Cancer Institute website,. prostate cancer is "cancer
that forms in tissues of the prostate, usu-
ally occurring in older men."
In the United States, there were approximately 240,890 new cases and 33,720
deaths in 2011. There are many organizations funding research to cure prostate
cancer, such as "ZERO—The Project to
End Prostate Cancer."
ZERO is a charity that not only wants to
reduce prostate cancer, but end the disease
entirely. Their main goal is
to lengthen the lives of men
who were diagnosed with
prostate cancer by providing them with treatment to
cure their cancer, manage
their illness and have a life
that doesn't involve constant treatment to try and
end their suffering.
This particular organization offers ways
to help raise prostate cancer awareness
as well as promote early diagnosis by offering free testing. It also gives patrons a
chance to support organizations such as
"The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge &
DASH FOR DAD," a national race series.

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

Seven out of ten Americans
claim Christmas as their favorite

Christmas before Halloween. At
least, that's what retailers seem
to claim. Some stores' Christmas
layaway began in October; so of
course, the deals begin by then.

Making Thanksgiving
Doholroh Hroon
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
In "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,"
Sally Brown said, "Why should I give
thanks on Thanksgiving? What have I got
to be thankful for?"
Unlike Sally, it's not hard for me to think
about what I 'm thankful for. I'm grateful
for my family, my friends, etc. I 'm thankful for the things I have. And the times
when I'm not cramming on multiple papers due in the same week, I'm thankful
for the opportunity I have to be in college.
Being thankful isn't the only thing people
do on Thanksgiving though (not to say that
we shouldn't be thankful any other day of
the year). It is also a time for people take
part in nationwide traditions and more personal traditions that transcend generations.
-Let's face it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of food. Needless to say,
food is a big deal - or rather, it becomes a
big deal, especially once the holiday season
rolls around. Foodconsumer.org weighs
some statistics: practically two-thirds of
turkey from the U.S. last year originate
from just six states (with Minnesota as
the winner at 47 million) and 735 million
pounds of cranberries were produced in
the U.S. in the same year. Food consuming aside, Thanksgiving's traditions differ
from household to household, but many
remain almost universal in the U.S.
If there is a football fan present within
the house, that television will be on for the
game. If you aren't watching football and
you aren't able to attend in person, you're
probably watching the annual Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, held in New
York City, on NBC or CBS. Some people
are just anxious for Christmas tofinallyarrive. Others are just too stuffed to do anything.
Thanksgiving has come a long way since
the 1600s, and I for one am glad that so
many people have made it unique to.their
own personal traditions and meanings. It
doesn't matter what you do for Thanksgiving or who you do it with. So don't worry
if you don't have an actual turkey, if you
can't stand football, if you forgot about the
parade or if none of these apply to what
you do. The heart of the matter is to make
memories that will stick for years.to come
and to take time to appreciate your life*.
You. don't have to think hard to answer
Sally Brown's question. There is always
something to be thankful for.

November makes m e nostalgic, but not just
for music of my distant past. These songs
may not seem like they belong together a t
first listen, but e ach track gives a sense of
memory, love, loss a nd hope.
A rcade Fire's "Rebellion (ties)" depicts how
sleep c an b e a n excuse to get a way from
the realities of our lives. It fits well with the
themes that I get from their album Funeral
- the dramatic a nd often sad switch from
childhood to adulthood a nd how the w ay
w e see things b ack then seem to twist
around completely as w e get older. It's definitely nostalgic a nd emotional but still keeps
some of the heaviness u pbeat a nd fun.
Feist's " 12 3 4" manages to sound happy
a nd almost playful while dealing with issues
of time a nd how fickle the heart c an b e
w hen it remembers love.
"A Thread Cut with a Carving Knife" by Stars
tells the stories of four different people in
three different situations (romantic, troubling,
etc.) a nd shows how no matter w ho you are
or w hat y ou've b een through, life is indeed
unpredictable a nd as fragile as a thread.
Coldplay's "Paradise" sparks a sense of
escaping the harshness of reality a nd finding
comfort in your own paradise. It definitely
makes you feel as though you are being
lifted out of your life a nd you a re given four
minutes a nd 39 seconds to hide a way in a
paradise of your own.
The Beatles' "Let It B e" is a n exception on '
this list as a song that c an literally take you
b ack to the past to w hen you would hear
it on the radio or o n your parents' favorite
albums. This track is nostalgia a nd h ope

This installment of the Assassin's Creed series
sees the return of thefirstmain character Altaic

In this entry of the classic Legend of Zelda series, Link hails from the floating city of Skyloft.
There, he finds the Skyward Sword and sets out
on a journey to the land beneath Skyloft in order to cleanse it of the evil monsters that thrive
there. Skyward Sword utilizes the Wii Motion

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

students of a possible new safety

The United States travel warning alerted students, faculty and

terrorist activity stemmed from
an alleged plot to assassinate the

two men with ties to Iran were
charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official and at least
three more conspiracy charges.

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

With the help of companies like groupon.
com and dailydeals.com, internet users
have been able to receive financial benefits
in their local communities during the present economic decline.
Neighborhoodlnc., a company with the
same offerings of coupons and daily deals
as well as other features, including job services, is developing with an ultimate "people helping people" mission statement: of
the money that comes into the company,
a percentage goes back to community
schools and charities.
According to www.neighborhoodinc.org,
"[20-50 percent] of membership fees go
back to their local schools." While it is free
for the Basic Membership and the Charity
& Non-Profit Membership, the annual Deluxe Membership is listed at $249 and the
annual Premium Membership is listed at
$499 meaning with every Deluxe and Premium Membership, 20 - 50 percent will be
given back to schools.
When it comes to Community Deals,
"Our daily coupon site gives 10 percent of
net proceeds back to schools [and] charities, a percentage of our yearly net-profit
will be given back to the community."
Neighborhoodlnc. also offers job services, a work placement program system
headed by a staff of recruiters. Through this
service, each placement will be followed
up with the "Cash Referral & Charity Bonus Program" which gives back a cash referral to the person who assisted in finding
a member's j ob, as well as a bonus towards
any non-profit charity.
The company also provides users of
the site with Local Community Calendar.
"[The] community calendar offers free advertising for all non-profit organizations so
you can connect and
support their e vent"
Nick Bandejas, founder of Neighborhoodlnc., left the corporate world to start
the company, which grew from a series of
developments originating from giving back
to charities to giving back to charities and
the community.
Bandejas decided to develop the company with a socialistic approach. "[Neighborhoodlnc.] is not just a marketing company,
it's a neighborhood company. We help people find jobs and save money," Bandejas
said.
Bandejas went on to say that through offering lower costs to businesses, money is
given to schools and charities strengthening the company's other services which
leads to more money, creating the first truly
"green" economy. "The ultimate goal is for
Neighborhoodlnc. to come full circle as a
self-generating cycle. [It will] ultimately be
a goodwill network through loyalty."

CSUSM's Community Mid
World Literary Series (CWLS)
featured authors Amina Cain and
Tisa Bryant reading their works
on the night of Oct. 27.
Prior to the CWLS event, Cain
and Bryant joined Professor
Sandra Doller's creative writing
workshop course for an hour-long
private panel.
Doller assigned students Cain's
book "I Go to Some Hollow"
and Bryant's book "Unexplained
Presence."
By taking part in this intimate
Q&A panel, the class gained insight into the authors' experiences
regarding such topics as authorial
research, the publishing process,
small-press publishing and personal experiences in workshop
settings.
Shortly after 7 p.m., Dr. Mark
Wallace introduced Bryant as a
brave risk-taker in her writing—-
her risks both bold and subtle.
Bryant told the audience how
happy she was to be reading. "It's
like a little vacation out of L.A.,"
she said. After, she read her short
story "Under Cover of Darkness"
from her book "Unexplained
Presence."
During her reading of the text,
Bryant paused to refer to the inter-textuality of the classic film
"The Women" mentioned in the
story. She acknowledged her vocal reference as a type of intertextuality.
She followed "Under Cover of
Darkness" with an excerpt f rom
her manuscript called "The Curator."
Wallace introduced Cain and
her collection of short stories,
which touched on issues of sensitivity and loneliness.
First, Cain read her short story
"Ugly Things." She followed
with a reading of "Two-Dimensional War" from her book "I Go
to Some Hollow."
After the readings, the authors

personal inspiration and their interests in writing in other mediums, including screenplays.
Bryant and Cain's readings and

with Bryant's insight into her

"If [students] want to aspire to

Occupy Wall Street brings to
mind three things: protest, politics, and pepper spray. I could
have included police brutality in
that list, but I couldn't think of
a synonym for "brutality" that
started with a P.
Anyway, Occupy Wall Street is
indeed the sticky-sweet topic of
choice on every American's lips
right now, especially considering the movement's expansion to
downtown San Diego.
The Civic Center lay empty in
the early hours of Oct. 28 after
San Diego police took 51 campers into custody for a variety of
charges—unsanitary conditions
damaging city property, illegal
lodging, encroachment and curfew violations—according to the
Union Tribune.
The journalist writing the Tribune article interviewed many protesters, but only one of them—the
event organizer—directly commented on the purpose of the
evening's sit-in: they were protesting a plan to spend $200 billion over the next 40 years on
transportation projects.
Occupy Wall Street's origins
have little to do with California
building projects. In fact, every
"Occupy" incarnation has a different aim. While the majority of
its related demonstrations have
something to do with American
finances (thus the use of the 99
percent versus the one percent
idea), there is no collective objective that occupiers can name.
I have little faith in a nationwide movement operating under
a shared name that can't explain
what a successful result of said
movement would be. Sure, protesters want less corporate fingers
Pride Staff Writer
in their pockets, but there is a way
protesters could have prevented
that in the first place: by having a
bit of foresight.
A lot of civil unrest is directly
related to banks offering loans to
people who can't make the payments—quite reflective of the
Californian foreclosure disaster a
few years ago. It was stupid for
banks to offer $500,000 home
loans to people making a $30,000
a year salary. It was equally stupid for people making $30,000 a
year to take a loan of that size to
pay an epically large mortgage.
Likewise, it is stupid for students to take out loans to go to
college if paying it back is not
something feasible within the
next couple of years. However,
many occupiers cite the difficulty
of paying back student loans as
one of the many items to protest.
If occupiers really want to shake
up the system, they need to pull
their money out of the banks that
have done them wrong. Loans are
the lifeblood of banking; without
them, the banks will have to find
another way to survive. Living
outside of your means, as many
Americans tend to do, will bite
back faster than you can hang up
on a collections call. Take this opportunity to fight the one percent
with what they love most: your
money.
At any rate, the irony of Occupy
Wall Street exists in the youth of
the nation passing along information about sit-ins through Facebook and iPhones. As much as
people are protesting the system,
they have to realize that their actions keep them comfortably tethered to it.
Christmas comes early this year
with "A Very Harold & Kumar
3D Christmas." The result is a f un
Christmas film that also acts as a
loyal sequel to its film series.
This time around, stoner buddies Harold and Kumar (John
Cho and Kal Penh, respectively)
are back several years after the
incidents from the previous films
"Harold & Kumar Go to White
Castle" and "Harold & Kumar
Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
They each live their separate
lives, Harold a successful married
man and Kumar still the same old
Kumar, but depressed over his
recent break-up. A mysterious
present arrives for Harold at Kumar's apartment which reunites
the old friends for a Christmas
Eve of outrageous events.
This entry in the
"Harold & Kumar"
series surpasses the
second film in entertainment value and
humor and comes
close to the original.
With an abundance
of the series' conventional racial stereotyping, drug use
and absurd plot development, the film
remains consistent to
its predecessors.
Some of the humor
is very tongue-incheek, as Harold is
referred to as Sulu
(Cho's character in
the most recent "Star
Trek" film) and Kumar is told from a
friend that if anyone
asks, he works at the
White House (which
Penn did in between the second
and third films of the series).
Neil Patrick Harris's return
to the series is something to be
enjoyed with his real-life partner David Burtka as a married
straight father who is paid to act
as Harris's lover in order to widen
Harris's appeal. Burtka's cameo,
which is even shorter than Harris's, is one of the funniest parts.
The 3D presentation of the film
may be a more rewarding experience for viewers with the technology manipulated and played up
for humorous effect. Also, several
references to 3D technology play
their part in execution, as well.
If you enjoyed the first two
"Harold & Kumar" films, y ou're
sure to like this one. If zany,
over-the-top, offensive comedies
aren't your preference, you might
want to pass.

Alternate reality novel embraces readers

Joining the cult: Former

Pride Staff Writer
It is a shame when g ood movies don't find success with
a wide audience. Though some films struggle in mainstream theaters, select few h ave the potential to become what are known as "cult classic" films. These cult
classics are often successful in home media sales years
after their initial release. It is difficult to narrow the field
as there are so many forgotten classics, but here a re my
top four cult classic films to b e enjoyed.
Pride Staff Writer
In Kazuo Ishiguro's novel
"Never Let Me Go," readers are
invited into the unfamiliar society
at Hailsham boarding school. In
three parts, the story chronicles
the protagonist Kathy's experiences from the point of being a
child at the mysterious Hailsham,
until her young adult years in the
life which she and her fellow students were born into and prepared
for as part of their education.
It is difficult to tell much of the
plot without giving away any details that may spoil elements of
the novel. However, Ishiguro's
story is exceptionally well-crafted. Through Kathy's narration,
Ishiguro speaks about this world
he has created very casually and
very matter-of-factly as if it is a
society readers would already be
familiar with. In its telling of an
unknown society set in the 1990s,
"Never Let Me Go" is a type of
modern science-fiction novel.
Kathy is accompanied through
much of the novel by her friends
Tommy and Ruth who all three
develop into a love triangle as
they grow up. Through their companionship, they set out to uncover the mysteries of the school
in their education, lifestyle expectations and mysterious rumors of
ways to avoid their predestined
duties. However, their curiosity
often leads to shocking findings.
While elegantly written, the
narration might discourage read-

ers due to the readers' unfamiliarity with many of the references
made to the world in which the
characters inhabit. Be reassured,
though, because all uncertainties
belonging to the reader, as well as
the characters, are answered. By
the end of the novel, the world
for the students of Hailsham, as
well as other boarding schools
founded with the same mission
statement, will be made known to
readers.
"Never Let Me Go" is one of the
most beautiful, rewarding novels
in recent literary history. It offers
all elements of a great novel as it
touches on such themes as friendship, purpose, love and loyalty.
This novel is very deserving—it
deserves to be read and readers
deserve to have read it.
" Once U pon A Time"
ABC d r a m a p rimed t o c h a r m a udiences
Rebekah Green
Pride Staff Writer
ABC's new show "Once Upon
A Time" premiered Sunday, Oct.
23 at 8 p.m. This new fantasy
series takes the memorable fairy
tales and fables of childhood,
like Snow White, Pinocchio and
more, and transports them to reality.
The evil queen threatens Snow
White and Prince Charming during their wedding. While visiting
the imprisoned Rumplestiltskin,
Snow White discovers that a horrible curse will be placed upon
her family, and only her daughter Emma, upon her 28 birthday,
will be able to stop the queen. On
the very day of Emma's birth, the
^^^^^
curse takes hold of the kingdom,
and although she is placed safely
inside a magic wardrobe, she
along with the other characters of
the kingdom are inevitably transported to a place devoid of happiness - our world.
28-year-old Emma Swan works
as a bail bondsman, and while her
demeanor is tough, she carries
loneliness within her. But all of
that changes when a boy named
Henry arrives claiming to be her
son and seeks her assistance in
taking him back home to Storybrooke, Maine. All the while, he
asserts that the stories existing-in
his fairy tale book are real and that
the citizens of Storybrooke are
these same f a i r y tale characters
trapped in the-real world with no
memory of their magical selves.
While Emma remains logically
skeptical of his words, Henry's
claims prove to have truth.
Fans of the film "Enchanted"
and Hallmark's miniseries "The
10th Kingdom" are sure to find
some aspects that border the familiar but still deliver an interesting take on the fairy tale world.
The pilot contained a lot of information, yet it was nothing difficult to follow. Rather, it set up
various situations that will keep
viewers curious as to what will
happen next.
There is a reason fairy tales
never grow old, and with "Once
Upon A Time," the tradition of
building upon classic stories is
sure to continue thriving. "Once
Upon A Time" airs Sunday nights
at 8 p.m. on ABC.

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

Students demand action against hate
Amy Salisbury
Pride Staff Writer
Students in the Women's Studies department at Cal State San
Marcos last week launched a petition drive to push for university
action on the "hateful, obscene
and prejudicial content" in the
controversial student-run Koala
newspaper.
The petition drive, along with
the launch of a student-run antiKoala Facebook page, are in response to the publication of the
Koala's fifth CSUSM issue on
Sept. 27, which promoted on its
front page "homophobia, misogyny (and) pornography."
One page led with the line
"Women secretly want to be
raped," and another featured a
pornographic photo with the picture of a Women's Studies student
superimposed on a woman in the
picture.
The petition seeks 1,000 signatures to lobby university officials
to control the hate speech in the
Koala, restrict its on-campus distribution and eliminate the atmosphere of intimidation and harassment associated with its content
and distribution.
Kit-Bacon Gressitt, a CSUSM
Women's Studies student and
freelance reporter, wrote the petition, called "Act Against Hate
at Cal State University San Marcos," hosted by change.org. The
opening statement of the petition
claims that "the lack of action by

marginalization. .
"We recognize that there may
be instances that while protected
by the First Amendment, are
contrary to CSUSM's core values of diversity and inclusion,"
Haynes wrote in her blog on the
university website.

a "satirical comedy newspaper,"

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

What do you do in your free time?
"Eat and sleep. The team's practice is everyday but on Sundays, so on

Women's golf defeats Palomar in dual match
Kyle Trembley

Two local collegiate golf teams
squared off (for fun) last Friday,
with Cal State San Marcos women's golf taking on Palomar College in a dual match. The Lady
Cougars came out on top, defeating Palomar 304 to 317.
Four CSUSM players shot in
the 70's at the one-round event,
led by Vanessa Chap's 72. The
freshman, who is off to an excellent start to her Cougar career this
fall, shot the best round of any
golfer on the day.

Second on the team and at the
event was Tess Russell, who shot
74. Lisa Copeland, recent winner
of the Grand Canyon Invitational,
tied with teammate Felicia Titus
for third with a round of 79.
Also competing for CSUSM
were Cora Busy (81), McKenna
Pautsch (81), and Amanda Rudd
(88).
"I am very proud of our Lady
Cougars," commented Coach
Cindy Naval. "We have already
been challenged by Palomar for
another match."

It's important to have a strict sleep schedule or else I would fall

Has cross-country benefited academics? How?
"In the long run, running benefits me because after running I 'm ready

Contemporary traditions rest in religious history
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
The modern practice of Halloween has stronger ties to historical celebrations of the holiday
than you might think.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the name of the
holiday comes from the holiday's
original name, "All Hallows
Eve." As time progressed, the
name shortened to become "Halloween." All Hollows Eve was
in practice the night before All
Saints Day, "a day commemorating all the saints of the church,
both known and unknown."
The traditions we practice in
our modern celebrations of Halloween originated hundreds of
years ago. Over time, our practices, which traditionally take place
on Oct. 31, have lost a great deal
of their original meaning. By going through many of the common
aspects and traditions of Halloween, it is evident where modern
traditions have come from.
According to historian Nicholas Rogers' book "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to
Party Night," Halloween
is likely to have de

Sociology master's student Flora Seawood said in an interview

Halloween costumes
Juliana Stumpp
Pride Staff Writer
This year, Halloween is on a
Monday, just six days away. Do
you have your costume yet? If
not, don't stress. The Pride has
some ideas that are cheap, quick
and fun.
•Wishing it was summer again?
It could be. After all, Halloween
is the excuse to outlaw all fashion rules. Take out your favorite
swimsuit and splotch some sunscreen on your nose. To up your
lifeguard costume, get yourself
a whistle and an inflatable inner
tube from the Dollar Store.
• For a more comedic costume,
get your favorite cereal and literally become a "cereal" killer.
Flatten out some cereal boxes and
tape them to a plain shirt. Think
outside the box and get a rubber
knife to make your costume more
imaginative.
•Unleash your inner rocker and
take out your Green Day concert
shirt from the closet. Put on some
dark jeans, tease your hair and put
on some intense eyeliner. Dressing up as a rock star is great because you can personalize it your
way. If you don't have an intense
rock star shirt but have something a little more mellow like a
Maroon 5 shirt, become a band's
groupie.
•Whatever sport you enjoy, take
out your favorite team's jersey to
show your appreciation. Just because baseball season just ended
and basketball* has a two week
lockout doesn't mean you have to
store your uniform in the closet.
This is a simple and easy costume
to put together, but you still get to
dress up.
• If you and your friends don't
what to do as a group, dress up
as the adorable 101 Dalmatians.
All you need is a plain white
shirt, black or white shorts, white
socks, and white shoes. Get a
black sharpie and draw black
spots on your white plain shirt
and socks. Put your hair up in
pigtails and wear a cute necklace
as your collar.
• Are you a fan of socks and
sneakers? Go as an American
tacky tourist. Put on a shirt you
got from vacation, shorts and dig
in your parents' closet for a fanny
pack. The best thing about being
a tacky tourist is that you caii personalize it. If you are a huge Disney fan, dress as if you are going
to Disney World. If you have always wanted to go to Hawaii, put
on a tacky Hawaiian shirt.

Growing up, you may remember the ghost stories that were
told to you, passed on from generations that kept us afraid of
the dark. Learning about goblins
and monsters that seemed to hide
anywhere where light fails to
shine. As we got older, the stories got better. Suddenly, these
"monsters" were potentially people whom once lived among us.
Just an average Joe that kept to
himself but secretly kidnapped
teenagers and put their bodies in
dungeons.
Now that •we are technically
"grown up," it's silly to still believe in ghost stories, right? But

something eerie creep up your

or saw someone swiftly walk by,
yet no one was around?
When I asked students about
their "haunted" experiences in
Kellogg Library, the looks of
skepticism told me that they
were sure ghosts weren't "real."
And quite frankly, they're right.
Ghosts aren't real. They don't
have physical bodies, but does
that mean they don't exist?
Upon much investigation, I
found that our very own Kellogg
Library has a few regular guests
that occupy the building once the
doors are locked for the night.
The first account I received was
from Dr. Geoffrey Gilmore, who
has had his own experience on the

doors opening and closing, certainly it can't all have logical reasonings, right? How far can wind
blow through the basement of a
building?
L also spoke with UPD, and
they informed me of more urban
legends. Supposedly, a young
girl haunts the third floor library,
mysteriously playing with toys.
The fourth and fifth floor's usual
guest is a girl in a white dress
with a "slit throat," as some
claim, knocking all the books
down from the shelves.
Was the girl Dr. Gilmore met
just a figment of his imagination?
What about the footsteps Ms.
Dupont hears when the rest of
the building is empty? How can

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

Daniel encounters horrific beings

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

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

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

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

While the price hikes for CSU
students have been widely reported, one statistic that has gone
largely unnoticed is an analysis
that for every $1 invested by the
state in the higher education system, $16 iii revenue is produced
for the state, according to Erik
Fallis with the CSU Chancellor's
office.

Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and
ask ourselves the big question:
why are we here (and by "here,"
I mean college)? Why are you—
one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher
education? Don't spout out some
canned response about the terrible
economy and having "no other
choice" but to attend school. The
fact is that you are here for you.
The sad part about attending
college at Cal State San Marcos
is the perception of a "commuter
campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and
gets on with his or her life. The
next time you're rushing to beat

all hurrying to "get out" on time,
but sometimes we just need to
take a breath and appreciate what
a college campus can offer.
So stick around a while after

Get involved. Do something that

a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander

Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money
because it's required by its charter
to remain neutral. Although thè
office sympathizes with students
who are overburdened by tuition

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

On Sept. 16, the wait was finally over as "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" was released in stunning Blu-ray in North America.
Since then, the set has shattered
Blu-ray sales records. According
to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The
Complete Saga has earned over
$84 million worldwide in one
week on Blu-ray.
Though sales are strong, the set
is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every
release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this
release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene
in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the
Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and
new dialogue added to Obi-Wan
in "A New Hope." Perhaps some
welcome the changes and regard
them as a new feature to enhance
the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority
of fans who love and enjoy the
theatrical releases of the films.
The average customer review
for "Star Wars: The Complete
Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5
stars on Amazon.com. Skimming
through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an
overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films.
Like many fans before me, I am
no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days
of "Han shot first," fans have
slowly lost faith in their beloved
saga. What disappoints me most
is the unfortunate reality that we
as fans have no voice in the future
of "Star Wars." How many years
must we wait until Lucas will
provide us with theatrical cuts
in high definition? As a die-hard
fan, I don't want to have a new,
updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years.
I want to remember the series for
what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I
would purchase "Star Wars: The
Complete Saga" had the set come
with both the theatrical cuts and
the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though
the set would cost more, I would
pay (almost) any price to see the
original classic films restored to
visual perfection.
While the Blu-ray releases may
have a wealth of bonus features
and documentaries, I will not
purchase the set due to all the
changes. Many of us fans will
continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may
take. If growing up with "Star
Wars" taught us anything, there
will always be a new hope... for a
little fan service.
I am not ashamed to say that I
love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras"
even though People Magazine
and CNN say I should be.
Here in California, child beauty
pageants are few and far between.
But in the southern U.S., pageants
take over hotel conference rooms
nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three
months.
Many publications recently
printed less than comprehensive
coverage of the hit show after a
3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie
"Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's
character is a prostitute.
Similar costuming includes a
4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a
2-year-old dressed as Madonna.
I will concede to the argument
that beauty pageants for children
are not age appropriate in any
sense. Considering that the infant
categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than
a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling,
crying or sleeping, baby across a
stage, there is little support for the
case that the parent is doing the
pageant because the child wants
to.
This is the cardinal problem
with children in beauty pageants:
crazy, scary moms want to be on
stage, so they live vicariously
through their daughters (and
sometimes sons).
Actually, apart from the whole
age appropriateness ordeal (and
the obscene amounts of money
people spend),.that's pretty much
the only real issue with beauty
pageants.
When a kid lacks his or her own
. agency to decide to go onstage,
then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption
than most politicians do when it's
time comes to grace the pageant
stage (YouTube her and you'll see
what I mean). With catch phrases
that include " I'm not doing what
you tell me," "Well, where's my
drink?" and "Put me down so I
can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie
dolls spouting any number of her
hilarious lines.
I guess, if you really wanted to,
you could say this ball of energy
is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you
could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera.
However, the portrayal of
these children is meant to shock
viewers and leave them, mouths
agape, waiting for the next
week's installment. I feel I should
also mention that TLC has hired
the best TV editing team that
ever existed; they truly make the
show far more entertaining than it
should be.
Shame on CNN for trying
to make me feel bad. Sure, I
wouldn't recommend the many
CSUSM students with young
children to watch "Toddlers &
Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment.
CNN: pick on somebody your
own size.

trikes b t 9 p.m.
NBC's h it mockumentaiy' r
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Many of us have been anticipating the return of NBC's mocEumentaiy that first stole our hearts
in 2005. For those who have yet
to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the
many talents of actors such as
Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and
John Krasinski. The return of
the sitcom beginning their eighth
season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave
us the hope that the show can be
equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott.
It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk
into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre
Scranton branch, but the season
opened with a hilarious story line:
planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected,
as Meredith was caught planking
under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for
the surprise of new management.
We learn in the beginning of the
opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo
(Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own
job but returned to work out of
the meeting room. Pam (Jenna
Fischer) was especially sensitive
due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are
expecting their second child, a
son, as well as Angela (Angela)
expecting her first child with her
husband, the senator (whom we
were led to believe was gay). The
biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew
Bernard (Ed Helms) was named
branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether
he can successfully run a branch,
we can all agree that he truly cares
about the office and his heart is
in the right place. Personally, I
was confused why he would be
named manager, since I figured
the producers were planning to
go in a different direction as far
as personality. We both know that
Michael Scott and Andy Bernard
are both known to cause mishap
around the office.
Last week's episode was one
that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy
handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to
upset anyone or coming off as'
too strict but also wanting work
to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new
team of warehouse workers to
take oyer since the old ones quit
after winning the lottery. Since
Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin,
Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried
desperately to figure out how to
load the reams of paper into the
delivery truck through trial and
error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended
with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was
"muy rapido." The buzz around
the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you
won the lottery?" As always, Jim
and Pam (affectionately known as
PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend
their "fantasy" life after winning
the lottery. Andy surprised us all
when he took charge in getting
Darryl back into the mood of actually working.
Though I am accustomed to
the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I
am excited for the future of "The
Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how
Andy will hopefully prove my
expectation of failing wrong. If
you weren't able to catch it, you
can always watch it the day after
airing on http://wwwiiulu.com.
"The Office" airs on NBC every
Thursday at 9 p.m.
The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It
introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts'
many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd
even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season
featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The
Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway
musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have
created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed
in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning
the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing."
In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April
Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside
William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele.
t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range.
Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron)
realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't
choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and
KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for
a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically.
Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed
the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck
playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect
ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a
tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our
seats for season two.
Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed
"dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather
Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her
amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced
to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked
the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast.
Season two also introduced viewers to the character
Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around
"Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere.
Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd
competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted
viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt.

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

The Haunted Hotel is the San

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

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

CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts
Morgan Hall
Pride Staff Writer
.
CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm
water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested
in joining the fall 2011 - spring
2012 team.
"It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good
today," senior Tyler Noonan said.
"You're lucky just to catch a few
good waves," he added.
Noonan, who surfed for his
high school team and was trying
out for the first time, said that he
looks "forward to being able to
get back into surf competitions
and meet new surfers this season."
This year, the Cal State San
Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave
each surfer three 15-minute heats
to catch as many waves as he or
she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score.
"We're looking for length,
turns and connecting rides and, of
course, the more you do the more
points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said.

the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts

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

"Tips for textbook buying"
In the Sept. 13 issue of The
Pride, the article, "Tips for
textbook buying" incorrectly
listed Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
as a resource for obtaining textbooks. ILL is a service available to students for obtaining
different forms of research for
course related projects.
"Interlibrary Loan staff search
and order requested materials
from a worldwide database.
Material requested through ILL
typically arrive at the Library
within one to two weeks. You
are notified via your CSUSM
email account when the material arrives, books are held for
pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri
Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said.
Also, materials from ILL are
never delivered to your home
but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of
the Kellogg Library.

All of us CSUSM students
could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs
over the urinals.
I spent this week's Happy Hour
at Players off Twin Oaks Valley
Rd. across from campus, which is
open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and
has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m.
Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great
place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and
supports a young scene. If you
have any love for Padres or Red
Sox, this place will sympathize
with you.
The Happy Hour deals included
$1 off wine, beer and wells; you
will also get $2 off appetizers
including their delicious, picante
chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty
potato wedges while watching
a late season baseball game on
one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included
local breweries like Lost Abbey,
Ballast Point and Green Flash
as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers
like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale
and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for
$2.75 each while gawking at the
100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer
at the next table. The beer happy
hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant
students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V
the famous craft beer of that area.
If you are free on a Wednesday,
head over to "Kick the Keg" to
enjoy that week's domestic beer
keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m.
until the keg is empty.
Other enjoyment for family,
18+, and 21+ included the two
pool tables and outdoor seating
withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to
meet new friends from CSUSM,
take someone on a date or relax
after a long day of classes.

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

Hot Off the Reel
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
Investing in "Moneyball"
It's almost prophetic that a film
about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball
will likely be one of the most
underappreciated sports films of
all-time. It's a shame, too.
Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the
general manager of the Oakland
Athletics, sets out to compile a
successful baseball roster with
the help of Peter Brand (Jonah
Mill) and an incredibly modest
budget. With, the entire MLB
against them, Beane and Brand
set out to prove that it's possible
to create a winning team with
comparatively little money.
Moneyball" is a baseball
movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of
the game. In fact, it isn't until the
last half hour of the movie until
we're placed on the field with
the players during a game, but
with good reason. With Beane's
distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense
that viewers wouldn't witness
anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts
himself near the field.
Instead of your conventional
baseball film, what "Moneyball"
offers is a behind-the-scenes
look at the mechanics of what
goes into developing a baseball
roster and a successful franchise.
Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own
major league victory and wants
to give it to those deserving of
it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up
working in baseball despite his
educational background. Also,
look out for Kerris Dorsey as
Beane's concerned daughter,
who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The
Show" as a way to reach out to
her dad.
-Moneyball" offers a true story
about the heart and determination that must go into success
and the compromises needed to
reach life's little victories.
See the movie, write a review. If y ou put your review on The Pride's
Facebook page y ou might s ee it in our next i ssue.
How killin' is "Killer Elite?"
With movie trailers and posters
for "Killer Elite" marketing it as
"based on a true story," one may
think that this be Jason Statham's
return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing
the film, aüdience members may
ask how much of this is true,
with some scenes leaving you
consumed in disbelief and awe.
Danny (Statham) is a retired
special-operations agent who
returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter
(Robert De Niro), who is being
held captive. Hunter's captor is a
man who has lost three sons in
war and wants justice from his
sons' killers to be carried out by
Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their
deaths look like accidents. While
carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike
(Clive Owen), who intends to put
a stop to these killings due to his
attachment and association with
the targets.
The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual
self, is determined to prove that
what we do does not define us.
De Niro is fun as the wisecrack
ing mentor, leaving us wishing
for more screen-time. Owen
plays a strong roadblock in
Statham's path.
The action sequences, while
immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many
(in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however,
are necessary to the plot and en
tertaining in execution. One such
scene involves the developing of
a mallet that matches the tiles of
one target's shower, in order to
make his death seem like an accident.
The dialogue is cheesy with
the formulaic, bad (but fun),
popcorn-flick one-liners be
ing spouted regularly. A notable
catch phrase worthy line in
volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!"
If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences,
see "Killer Elite."

Do you remember picking up
your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs
while you held your poor pup
in the air? This signature stance
derives from none other than
Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The
Lion King," that made its (iebut
into the world and our hearts in
1994.
The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously
successful in the box offices and
was quite popular, winning three
Golden Globes for Best Original
Score for a Motion Picture, Best
Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in
Comedy/Musical as well as two
SCfoOQi*
Oscars for Best Musical Score
and Original Song.
With the "The Lion King" in
theaters this September, 90s kids
as well as children everywhere
were given the opportunity to
relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically
genius adventure in a way no
one has ever experienced before:
in 3D. A friend and I went to the
opening weekend and we weren't
able to contain our joy as soon as
"Circle of Life" started playing.
We, along with many 5-year-olds
and their stressed out parents,
watched in awe as Mufasa and
Simba came to life right before
our very eyes.
Though I have seen this movie
countless times, the experience of
watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never
thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced
out right in front of me, and the
elimination of the unpopular song
addition titled "Morning Report"
to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite
wisdom, Scar's evil antics and
the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a
childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before
Rafiki got Simba back to Pride
Rock in time before the hyenas
took over—a time before school,
work and adult responsibilities
consumed my life.
Though the viewing is limited,
the experience of reliving my
childhood was irreplaceable.

HAULING OUR DEGREES TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES
GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE NO LONGER HOLDS PROMISE OF EMPLOYMENT
M ELANIE S L O C U M
P RIDE STAFF W R I T E R
The percent of unemployed
college graduates in the United
States under the age of 25 is 11.2
percent, the percent of unemployed graduate school graduates is even higher (New York
Times). Why are we flinging
ourselves into lava pits? Well,
it's not a leap; it's a fall down a
tunnel. What other options do we
have as we exit high school? We
are conditioned from our youth to
believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm

but one question: Now what?
In his 2011 State oLthe Union
Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the
new jobs in the next 10 years will
require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been
told before that the best thing
to do in an economic recession
is to attend school so that when

FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF
S A N D R A C HALMERS
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
As I take my last walks up
and down the cliffs of stairs that
compose most of this campus, I
think back 'on all the things that
as a freshman I wish I knew and
the most important lessons that
my education has armed me with.
So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I
graduate this May, I offer some
honest truths about college life.
Professors want to hear
more
than
your
stomach
growling
in
class:
Professors want students to ask
questions in class, I learned in my
Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential
step in thinking critically is to ask
questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then
critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim
to fuel your understanding, your
thought process on the material
and if the content is too difficult
to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast
burrito will not help you engage
in the material, I know, its hard,
but reading the material prior to
class helps reinforce your true
understanding. Getting questions
answered as the class progresses
keeps you from getting stuck
at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia.
If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it:
We all know the familiar heart-
break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and
then got denied buy back. That
slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments,
make your textbooks your best
friends, after all we know they
have the right answers in them
to guarantee you a perfect grade.

What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough
do. Why aren't more students
angered by this? The economy is
something we have little control
over, but our voices are something we do. While there have
been significant efforts to raise
awareness and protest tuition
increases on this campus, the
amount of student turnout at these
events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of
us students, yet nobody can seem
to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM.
As I leave this university, I've
been slapped in the face with a
bleak reality beyond the Utopia of
undergraduate education. Know
that doom's day is coming, and
know that as students, you can
change this, and should. Of all
environments to speak your mind
in, college is probably the most
accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take
advantage of your own voice,
stop expecting others to do it for
you, and know that if you don't,

I will never forget the time I sang
the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by
J-Kwon in front of my sociology
class after my phone rang. The
rules of the land were, "phone
rings, then you must sing." My
unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me
to never allow phone interruptions
during any class again, or you
may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe.

My favorite class, at the early
hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping
abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m
meant a lengthy search for a chair
or possibly sitting at the uneven
desk in the corner that squawked
with every movement of a pencil .
My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would
stop at mid sentence to cheerfully
invite me to class with a "Oh hi

Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so
with excessive debt. Our parents
and teachers indoctrinated us
to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment
in our future, so 53 percent of
full-time students take out loans
(National Center for Education
Statistics). But what happens
when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie.
Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with
massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly
more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011
alone, the cost of tuition for a
CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate.
edu), making the amount of
debt students graduate with even
higher, while creating an inverse
relationship with the success in
finding a job after we graduate.

PATINO A RELATIONSHIP APVICE
Dear Coug, My boyfriend and I have

With summer coming up, I am going

and I have all these plans for summer—
we hope to enjoy time together without the stress of school. I don't know
how to tell him that I want to make
sure I have time for my friends. Help?
Friends are an extremely important
factor in any romantic relationship. Aside
from sharing a friendship between the
two of you, you both need to maintain
relationships with your mutual and separate friends. These friendship ties can he
difficult to keep while attending separate
colleges during the school year; summer is a perfect opportunity to reconnect
with the people who have known you for
years. If you are worried that your boyfriend's plans will encroach on your time

him about this matter. Let him know that
you want to enjoy time with him, but you
also need time for your friends. Friends
are the support you can cling to when your
love life is rocky; don't abandon them!
A couple should not monopolize one another—if he has trouble understanding this

Studying in a different country is a
great educational opportunity—new cultures, landscapes, languages, and people
can greatly enhance your overall life experience. If you are looking to connect with
others while studying abroad, be cautious.
Use street smarts and be wary of those
who could potentially take advantage of
your money, your information, or your
heart. I would advise keeping relationships on the lighter side—falling headover-heels for someone while studying in
a foreign country can have a heavy effect
on your educational plans as well as your
emotions. If you are looking for romance,
look for it in the history and art of the culture. Chances are, you will discover likeminded people who you can connect with
as you explore the country. Use email or
social networking to stay in touch upon

The Buggies lamented that
"video killed the radio star"
with their classic 1979 single,
but CSUSM students are proving that radio rules the airwaves
once again. Broadcasting live
from campus, CSUSM College
Radio is gaining a reputation as
one of the leading media and entertainment sources for CSUSM
students. The organization was
recently recognized as the Best
New Student Org for 2011 at the
Tukwut Leadership awards night.
CSUSM College Radio began in Spring 2010 as a student
project in Dr. Youwen Ouyang's
software engineering class. Rosario Vizcaino was the mastermind
behind this idea, founding the radio program in spite of the obstacles involved in taking on such a
large project. "I had proposed the
idea of starting a web-based radio
since there was no radio on campus. My classmates thought the
project was very difficult to do,
so they opted for another project
and the group dropped the idea.
I then proceeded on my own and
within about two weeks the radio
was created," Vizcaino stated.
In a year's time, CSUSM Col-

spiration to reality. In 2010, Student Life and Leadership formally
recognized the radio program as a
student organization. The Student
Media Advisory Council (SMAC)
now recognizes the program as
an official student media outlet.
CSUSM College Radio is a
web based radio station that is
run "by students for the students"
according to its website, www.
csusm.info. Students can tune in
to several different shows, view a
schedule of show content and air
times, and contact the radio program via chat or messages. The
station features a variety of music
to suit any taste, so there is something for every CSUSM student.
Campus news and events are also
broadcast through the CSUSM
radio ether; the program often
makes an appearance at various
CSUSM happenings to give entertainment and live coverage.
Because of its primary focus
on student interests, CSUSM
College Radio strives to show appreciation for its audience. "Currently, we support all campus
orgs through live performances
and by advertising their events on
the web based radio page as well
as Facebook. We also host radio
shows where any interested student can participate. We promote

diversity and encourage campus
involvement," Vizcaino said.
A positive, fast-paced future is
in store for CSUSM College Radio. Vizcaino assured students and
faculty that "interest for the radio
program is growing very rapidly.
I hope that soon we can have our
own official studio. Currently we
use the services provided by the
library such as the music studios
to broadcast live on our page. We
are currently in the development
of creating a training to show students how to DJ. We find there
to be a demand for DJ's and we
certainly would encourage those
who have a passion for music to
participate, we'll train you and
guide you. Currently, we have a
radio class taught by Joan Anderson. The class covers broadcast
and journalism for radio, print,
and web. It's a very good class for
those interested in radio broadcasting. This class helps us with
our different shows, as we have
to write scripts and agenda's that
prepare us for our live shows."

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

Questions arose regarding
whether or not CSUSM may have

Do we use more paper, so we
recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines,
a cafeteria and a market, do we
sell and then recycle more plastic
bottles and cans? An unproven
rumor has been floating around
campus implying the main reason why we win each year is
that our campus janitorial staff
is specifically trained to separate
the recyclable materials out from
the trash. According the rules of
RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student
awareness and involvement in
campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with
participating schools," and says
nothing about the legality of
janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the
competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are
having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for
us, then what are we the students
really learning about recycling?
With the many recycle bins
that stand next to each trash can

capable of recycling by choosing where to toss their waste

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

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

Coach of Year
Softball pitcher Brenna Sandberg has been named the Association of Independent Institutions Pitcher of the Year for the
second straight season, and this
year three Cougars join her on
the All-Conference Team. Head
Coach Dave Williams receivedhis second straight Conference Coach of the Year award.
Junior first baseman Alyssa
Dronenburg, freshman second baseman Alex Miller,
and freshman outfielder Derrisha Lacey all earned spots
on the A i l . All-Conference
Team, which was announced at
Wednesday night's conference

and earned run average (1.10).
Dronenburg, who led the team
with 9 home runs, earned her

At an affordable price with un-

Although I am far from a successful bowler, and do not bowl

appeals to both competitive participants and easygoing newcomers. "Granny" style throws, spin

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

STUDENTS SHOWCASE WORK AT G.I. FILM FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW W ITH FILMMAKER S EBASTIAN M ASELLI
S ANDRA C HALMERS
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
<
Sebastian Maselli, a Mass Media senior in collaboration with
fellow CSUSM student Ryan
Smith, worked together for what
first began as a class film project that in turn grew to become a
voice of a generation. Screening
their work at this year's National
G.I Film Festival in Washington,
D.C, "Blood We Shed," surrounds
the lives of three injured Marines
that recall their experiences in
Iraq and expose truths about
life on and «off the battle field.
The Pride: What/who inspired you to create this film?
Sebastian Maselli: I was inspired by the stories of the Marines that I have served with,
they are the definition of toughness and determination. The
film began as a class project
with my partner Ryan Smith in
Professor Jonathon Berman's
documentary class in 2009.

have shaped who I am today.

What
are
your

SM: I hope to start my own

will be finished with my Mass
Media Production degree this semester, but I am staying in school

2011 is the summer filled with cars and music
More options for summer vacation
M O R G A N HALL
LAYOUT A SSISTANT
With finals week in sight
and the semester coming to an
end, students have no doubt
been thinking about planning their summer plans.
Some students have plans
to travel to far off places such
as Finland or Africa. Others are
visiting family members both
away and back home. While the
rest of our students have no clue
what to do this summer and just
look forward to enjoying three months
f
^ ^ ^ doing what ever
they
want. If you
don't have
any plans
and love cars
and
music, then this
summer has
multiple options for you.
Do you enjoy looking at
c ustom
cars and hot-rods? Then Cruisin'
Grand in Escondido is the place
for you and the best part is that it
is free. This year's Crusin' officially opened April 1 and runs
eveiy Friday night 5 - 9 p.m. until
Sept. 30. Only a month into the
2011 season, Crusin" has already
hosted 700 cars and
2 2,000
spectators, This ann u a1
event allows peop 1e
to spend a few
hours in
downtown Esc ondido
meeting
friends and
enjoying cool
cars, listening
to independent
bands and eating
great food. Restaurants and pubs
located on and around Grand Avenue are open late hours on Friday night and occasionally have
specials for spectators. Parking
for Cruisin' Grand
is located on Grand
Avenue and all
side streets from
E scondido t o
Ivy
Street.
If
you
love
all
types of cars, or anything with a motor, then
you are going to love this years
San Diego County Fair. The San
Diego County Fair, formally
known as thé Del Mar Fair, has
the theme of Race to the Fair
and celebrates modern and historic automobiles. Opening June
10 and running until July 5 and
closed June 13,20 and 17, the fanis an annual tradition not to be

over uic
years, this

for
~
A/
a dults,
$7 children 6-12 and seniors 62 and older. This year the
fair hosts a ton of "special days"
where tickets prices are reduced
or ride prices are cut. The best
deal for the fair is on June 14 and
tickets are only $3 when you buy
them through an Albertsons or
Sav-on location. Though the fanis known for selling food that

Summer is finally here, and
some of the most anticipated
movies of the year are coming
to a theatre near you very soon.
"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office,
but The Pride provides a guide
to the many other soon-to-be
blockbusters that everybody's
looking forward to this summer.
"Pirates of the Caribbean:
On Stranger Tides"
(May 20)
The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise
doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the
last two films, but it does see
Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack.
Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his
search for the fountain of youth,
and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl.
"The Hangover Part II" f
(May 26)
While it may seem hard to
Fun Facts-
" Autobots, roll
O ptimus Prime voicecFb;
top the comedic genius of the
first film, "the wolfpack" is back
for more, this time on a journey
to find the younger brother of
Stu's (Ed Helms) fiancée, who
they lose in the middle of Bangkok after yet another night of
drug-induced madness. A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo
and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery.
"Green Lantern''
(June 17)
"Green Lantern" has been
hotly anticipated by comic geeks
the world over, partially because
the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own
film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test
pilot who becomes a superhero
when he is given a powerful ring
by an extraterrestrial and must
use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil.
"Cars 2"
(June 24)
The first direct Pixar sequel since the Toy Story movies, "Cars 2 " sees Lightning
McQueen (Owen Wilson) on
a cros^-qpuntîy, toyp* to
|he
prestigious World Grand Prix,
while his best pal Mater (Larry,
the Cable Guy) gets caught up in
a world of espionage and intrigue
when he is recruited as a spy.
"Transformers:
Dark of the Moon"
(July 1)
While a worldwide success,
the second "Transformers" film
wasn't incredibly popular with
critics, or Megan Fox for that
matter, who left the production's
third installment. However, the
trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist,
as the Autobots race to reach an
important artifact on the moon
before the evil Decepticons do.
"Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows: Part II"
(July 15)
To call the eighth Harry Potter
film the most anticipated film of
the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated
film of the past decade would
be a more reasonable label. The
final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history,
picks up where the last film left
off and promises to tie up all the
loose ends, with lots of typically
great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D.

The Visual and Performing Arts Department hosted
its tenth annual dance concert
performance, "OffCentre,"
May 5 - 6 in Arts 111.The
free event provided
an opportunity
for dance
students to share
concepts through
movement and to
"open up expectations of what
dance is to the public," said Karen
Schaffman,
Associate Professor
of Dance and Production Director.
T he. student-run
stage production
featured 11 works
created by dance
students and faculty. Participants
chose their own
genre, theme, costumes and music
using elements and
techniques learned
in Choreography,
„ Contemporary
Technique, Global
Modern Dance and
Theatre Production
and Design classes.
Genres included
a mix of ballet,
jazz, street, hip-hop
and global modern
daiice, beginning
with an emotive,
contemporary piece
called "Jar of Hearts."
Dancers performed to the
disjointed rhythms of Beats
Antique in "UNO," a street
dance with an urban flare.
An energetic performance
matic portrayal of a modern
love triangle in "Bitter Sweet."
Two impeccably timed,
lively dances picked up the
pace just before intermission
in "Le Jazz Hot" and "Creature of the Night," a sexy burlesque combination of works
to music by Cher, Queen
Latifah, Marilyn Monroe and
Christina
Aguilera.
The
mood
turned somber after
inter
mission in
"The Red
C," a work dedicated to thousands of
dolphins slaughtered in Taiji,
Japan, by a group of six choreographers and dancers. With
a video running in the background from the 2009 docu-
mentary "The Cove," dancers
moved fluidly about the stage
like a community of dolphins
ending in agonizing death.
In "Tribute to
Tagore,"
Dance 320 students performed
pieces to a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore
(1861-1941). Born in Calcut-
ta, India, Tagore was the first
Asian to receive the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1913
as a poet, novelist, playwright
and visual artist. Tagore challenged traditional Indian dances, according to the "OffCentre" program, by focusing on
"naturalistic expression of
human emotional experience." In the first
dance recognizing a collection
of ppems by
Tagore, dancers
moved
around the
stage with
tea lights in
their hands,
forming
two symmetrical circles center
stage, then
merging together in a
spectacular
natural light
show.
A
t raditional
Indian harvest dance
followed,
inspired
by Bengali
folk music
r epresenting seasons ;
and village
life, including traditional hand
movements
such as the
"bird" and
the "locust,"
dancer Chanel
Bradley
said.
Two
groups choreographed and _
performed beautifully in "Reflection" and "Trouble
is a Friend" to music
by Lenka. An ensemble
of five energetic hip hop
numbers with music by Rihanna, Sucka Free CJ, Ke$ha,
Usher, and Pink completed the
evening in the crowd-pleasing finale "World War You."

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

never read a "Thor" comic, there
is no need to worry; the storyline

introduces the superhero Hawkeye. So subtly in fact that unless
you have been following "The
Avengers" on IMDb.com, you
would have no idea that Jeremy
Renner's tiny role in "Thor" is setting up "The Avengers" storyline.
I say hands down this movie
is fantastic and will no doubt
excel in the box office the entire
summer, or at least until "Captain
America" comes out at the end of
July, but the only filing I feel that
fell short was the computerized
scenory. With "Avatar" paving
the way and introducing a new
film future of crystal clean, realistic scenery, "Thor" could have
been top notch, if only they had
implemented this new technique,
A word to the wise, stay until the very end of the film. Stay
glued to your seat and continue
to watch past the closing credits. There is a clip exploring an
alternate ending, hinting at next
summer's "Avenger" movie.

budget cuts and resulting tuition

With less than two hours to
spare, Congressional heads and
President Barack Obama avoided
a government shutdown by creating a temporary budget deal,
which cuts $38 billion from federal spending, on Friday, April 8.
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. With

CSUSM being approximately 61
percent female, the community
could easily have felt these effects.
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.

CALIFORNIA DROUGHT DECLARED OVER
GOVERNOR BROWN REPEALS FORMER WATER WORRIES
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
On Wednesday, March 30,
Governor Jerry Brown announced an end to California's
three-year long drought after
one of the wettest winters since
1970, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
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.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
April 2011 is proving to be a
hybrid of sun and snow. Boots,
raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to
dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means
some are still stuffing tissues in
their pockets. College students
are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many
with weakened immune systems
thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold
is what ails you, here are a few
remedies most everyone has at
home to help combat the sniffles
and leave you ready to take on
the semester's remaining weeks.
/iff
CVAin
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, but it helps
in the growth and rebuilding of
bone and muscle. Stay away from
chalky vitamin C wafers, as the
U.S. Food and Nutrition board
recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than
multivitamins, since the latter are
synthetic and less easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in April is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your
mood in a positive way. Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed
moods during fall and winter,
mostly because of a vitamin D
deficiency, so start making up
for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Soup for the soul. The old
mantra as a standby for cold
treatment is more valid than you
might think. Soup has much
more water in it than other foods,
aiding in hydration when your
body is trying to fight off a cold
virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional chicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin
and mucous membranes moist,
in case that dry cough is getting
tough to handle (lifeclinic.com).
Read: chocolate and peanut
butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here,
SEVEN COLD REMEDIES FOR
SPRING SNIFFLES
but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations
of cacao is preferred, according
to the USDA National Nutrient
Database. Organic peanut butter
made from oil-roasted peanuts
and minimal sweeteners is your
best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides
nearly half of the RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the
eyes. Calm redness in your eyes
with the super anti-inflammatory
food, chamomile. Make a weak
tea, let it cool until it is barely
warmer than your skin, and rinse
your face with it. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration (FDA), chamomile
causes allergic reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution
on the inside of your wrist first.
Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy.
com said, "Nothing chases away
a bad case of congestion better
than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough
to have access to a hot tub, this
is when to take advantage of it.
If not, take a bath or shower and
breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with
steam concentrated on just your
face instead of your whole body.
Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit
of heat, change into some comfy
clothes and pass out. Psychology
Today explained that sleep is one
of the most important mechanisms
your body employs for healing.

STOP VIOLENCE IN ITS TRACKS
W OMEN'S CENTER TO HOLD ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT EVENT
Domestic violence and sexual assault plague women every
day. 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."

CSUSM track & field is
rounding the final corner of
the season before Nationals, competing at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational on
Saturday. 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.

§weep on the day and series sweep
Mr the season, #4-ranked Cal
State San Marcos looked sharp
at home against Biola University
on Friday, winning 5-0 and 8-0.
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.

son. Chapman improves to 22-5.
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.

FEATURES E D I T O R
Art communities may be the
first targets for budget cuts, but
they are also the first to help others in need. 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.

�THE DIGITAL DELUGE
ARTS & LECTURES PRESENTS W ORK BY M AUREEN DRDAK
RYAN
DOWNS
P R I D E STAFF W R I T E R
We may see images everywhere, but when was the last
time we truly understood a piece
of legitimate art? 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.

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.

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.

HAPPY H OUR O F THE WEEK: BULLY'S DEL MAR
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
From the outside, Bully's
North Del Mar might not
seem like an inviting hotspot for food and drinks . The
name alone links the mind
to dive bars full of knifewielding bikers. Don't be
fooled, though. Bully's is
an enjoyable place to gather
up the group and treat each
other to a night of succulent
STUDENT
food and refreshing drinks.
Bully's is by no means a
large bar, but what it lacks
in size, it makes up for in
substance. Since the bar is
just a short drive from the
Del Mar racetrack, it features a number of interesting racehorse memorabilia.
Bully's perfectly melds
old school hardwood bars
with a racehorse theme.
Happy hour at Bully's
begins at 3 p.m. on Mondays - Fridays and ends at
7 p.m. On Sunday - Thurs-
day, a different happy hour
occurs from 10 p.m. - closing. During Bully's Happy
Hour, the bar serves $3 bottled beer, $3 domestic pints,
$4 microbrew pints, $3
house wine glasses, $6 wine
glasses and half-price appetizers. Bully's offers a wide
variety of beers on tap like
Sierra Nevada, Yellowtail
Pale Ale, Blue Moon, Stella
Artois, Newcastle, Fat Tire,
Guinness and Stone. The
bar serves several types of
wines such as Cabernet Sau-
A •• "TQ* Time" by Faith
vignon, Pinot Noir, White
Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
During Happy Hour, halfprice appetizers include the
prime rib quesadilla, Cajún
chicken bits, crab-stuffed
mushrooms, fried zucchini, calamari strips, jalapeno poppers, sautéed mushrooms, peel-and-eat shrimp
and a sampler platter.
If appetizers aren't your
thing, the dinner menu at
Bully's is enough to satisfy any hungry bar patron.
From the filet mignon to
porterhouse, steak is king at
Bully's, and it shows. However, there's more to Bully's
than just its steak. Although
it can be a bit expensive, the
menu boasts a large number of sandwiches, seafood,
salads, soups and desserts.
Bully's is located at 1401
Camino Del Mar in Del
Mar. Whether for food or
drinks, Bully's will have
you racing back for more.

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

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

DORM STUDENTS BUILD HOMES IN MIAMI OVER SPRING BREAK
RYAN D O W N S
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
Any student will tell you that
the best part of the second semester is, of course, the part without
any school. It is a known fact that
most of the country's students
have regarded Spring Break as an
eagerly anticipated opportunity
for surfing, sports and general
relaxation. It is a week during
which students can engage in far
more activities than are usually
available during winter and can
enjoy a taste of what is yet to
come over summer break, albeit
at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own
Univesity Village Apartments
(UVA), not everyone went home
for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a
large group of students from the
dorms volunteered to work with
Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida.
These select few students
worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one
of the students who participated
in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6
[a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to
around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group
worked on a different portion
of the house each day. '"Some-
times we did dry wall, we did
insulation, floor boards, a lot of
different stuff," James Sanchez,
another student, said. "We didn't
finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days,"
Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation,
which took about four days, and
Habitat [for Humanity] is going
to swiftly finish the houses over
the course of 10 days." Overall,
the group played a crucial part
in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who
desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new
experiences and other problems
that are going on this country."
The experience, however, was
not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator
swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva
added, "Although we had to work
a lot we needed some free time.
We saw famous sites like "Miami
Ink." One of the nights they had
a party for the workers, just to
say thanks." In addition to giving
back to the community, the group
managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that
much more rewarding. Overall,
the group worked hard, but the
payoff was great. They not only
gave back to the community; they
had a lot of fun in the process.

Interested in seeing spring's
early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres
of brightly blooming flowers.
The fields, which overlook the
Pacific Ocean, are filled with
colorful Ranunculus blooms.
Rows of these flowers carpet the
rolling hillside, creating a feast
for the eye and camera lens.
Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open
seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. and are open to the public
until May 8. Prices for the Flower
Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for
seniors age 60, and above, $5 for
children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free.
The Carlsbad Flower Fields
offer a variety of activities for
families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted
American Flag of Flowers, which
sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot,
contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag.
The fields also annually set up a
unique sweet pea maze in which
visitors can navigate through a
fragrant and colorful maze of "old
fashioned" sweet pea blossoms.
If you are interested in celebrat-
ing Christmas during spring, the
Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts
a 1,500 square foot poinsettia
greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant.
The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including
the Carlsbad Mining Company,
where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual
miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of
the Lake Arrowhead theme park
"Santa's Village," now has a
new home on the Flower Fields
and allows the public to enjoy
historic whimsical play houses
and giant colorful mushrooms.
According to their website,
theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March
through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful
blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The
Flower Fields also hosts music
festivals and craft fairs; check

the website for more information.

With finals, term papers
and other writing woes lurking in the remaining weeks of
school, students may find they
need help putting pen to paper.
The" CSUSM Writing Center
is the perfect resource for students who need help editing, revising or brainstorming ideas.
Located on the bottom floor
of the Kellogg Library in room
1103, the Writing Center offers

"reviewing the prompt, asking
guiding questions, and providing non-judgmental feedback."
By working one-on-one or in a
small group, students can gain
control of their written words
and succeed in their classes.
As the semester accelerates
into its final weeks, the Writing
Center'invites students to attend
workshops that will help ease
writing anxieties. These U-hour
workshops take place in the Writing Center from noon - 1p.m. on

At the Mangrum Track & Field
MEN'S GOLF JUMPS I Invitational, Brian Clay didn't intend to blow the field out of the
TO #17
water, but the crowd believed he
would. Anthony Harbor wouldn't
have any of that. After all, he
intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too.
Clay, the reigning Olympic
gold medalist in the Decathlon,
and a graduate of Azusa Pacific
University, arrived with athletes
from the school on Saturday,
saying he "just needed to get a
meet in." Clay competed in the
discus throw, an event he holds
the decathlon record in, as well
as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor,
who graduated from CSUSM last
year, ran stride for stride with
Clay, hurdling over the obstacles
in unison—but just far enough
Cal State San Marcos men'I

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

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

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

According to Merriam-Webster's
dictionary.com, equity is, "justice according to natural law or
right." Therefore, equity is a significant issue on both our campus
and the community. This event
presents an opportunity to express concerns and find solutions.
With the term equity now defined, previous knowledge about
social justice and equity issues
help to educate one before attending the symposium. At the
event, keynote speaker Ashley
Walker, former Executive Director of the San Diego Human

share a lecture about working together to promote social justice

Opponents disagree, and according to www.theblaze.com,
the bill's supporters are ultimately trying to deny women
the reproductive health services
they need. In a statement to
NPR, Sarah Stoesz of Planned
Parenthood Minnesota informed
listeners that the majority of the
company's services are for reproductive health, family planning and cancer screening. She
added, "We're here to support
women, to offer the health services and information that they
need, and then to allow them to
make the best choice for them."
The Blaze article quoted Planned
Parenthood president, Cecile
Richards responding to the bill.
"We've been here for the past 95
years, and we'll be here for the
next 95." The article went on the
add that the bill would make it
harder for private sexual health
organizations, like the one across
"Not only are we compliant with
all state and federal laws, but
we are also in compliance with

well." She went on to say that
"students can feel confident that
everything is kept confidential,"
adding, "We provide the same
services as Planned Parenthood."

In an interview with The
Pride, Cathy Nguyen, a health
educator at Student Health and
Counseling Services, said that
CSUSM student's fees and funding from the state of California
would enable the organization
to assist students in reproductive health should Planned Parenthood not be able. She added
that students could feel comfortable that SHCS operates legally.

up paying $5 or more per gallon smooth and easy, with no quick
accelerations or stops. The DMV
stated that "the faster you accelerate, the more gas you gorge."
A driver should pay close attention to the flow of traffic and anticipate how much to accelerate.
Although it maybe getting hotter outside, drivers should think
twice before turning on the AC,
because when in use, it increases
gas consumption by 10 percent.
Also, looking to roll down the
windows to deal with the heat can
actually be even worse than using
the AC. According to the DMV,
once a vehicle is going over 55
mph, the wind drag decreases
fuel efficiency more than the AC.
The vehicle's maintenance
greatly affects fuel efficiency. A
certified mechanic stated that cor-.
rect tire pressure is essential for
fuel efficiency, because the loss
of 10 pounds of pressure equals
a three to four percent drop in efficiency, Neglecting regular factory maintenance, such as oil and
fuel filter changes, can also decrease efficiency up to 20 percent.
How, when and where drivers gas up can greatly affect their
ability to get the best usage and
price for gas. Surprisingly, the

is denser. This allows drivers to get
more "bang for their buck" since
gas stations measure by volume.

scouting out the cheapest gas prices. AAA's free iPhone application
and the Gas Buddy website both

Luckily, San Diego's beaches are
not far from San Marcos, though
none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline.
With a newly acquired taste for
fresh coconut milk, and the dis-
covery of enjoyment in relaxing

and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly
fortunate I have been to see such
interesting and beautiful sights.

LEXI POLLARD
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
Never in my wildest traveling
dreams did I imagine a weeklong trip to an island with a circumference of only 20 miles.
This island, Rarotonga, captured my interest with not only
its unique name but with its intriguing culture and landscape.
Located in the Central-Southern Pacific Ocean, Rarotonga is an
archipelago in the Cook Islands.
My family and I happened to be
on this remote island through an
invitation to a special event: a
wedding between my second
cousin and the princess of Rarotonga. In November of 2002, my
pre-teen American self met the
laid-back nature of Rarotonga.
Upon landing on the island, I
thought the landscape to be similar to New Zealand with tropical
trees and views of a crystal clear
ocean. However, a tour in a Ze-
bra-striped painted van proved
me wrong. Green, luscious plantations covered the island, and I
couldn't help but notice the locals walking along the side of
the road. Every casually dressed
Rarotongan lacked the same article of clothing: shoes. Later, I realized the barefoot trend revealed
the island's relaxed atmosphere.
Servers at the restaurant at our
hotel were barefoot'as well, and
what did I do? I indulged in this
cultural phenomenon and walked
around town barefoot, too.
The most vivid image I carry
is the pool at our hotel. I remember spending hours in the pool
one day, which looked out over
the vast ocean. The outskirts of
the hotel were dotted with chickens and wild birds that begged
for scraps of food. One of the
most interesting sights was an
abandoned hotel, with windows
shattered and crumbling architecture. Its unkempt appearance
stood testament to the island's
gleefully disheveled personality.
During one of the last days of
my Rarotongan experience, my
family and I attended the wedding of my second cousin and
the princess of the island. The
wedding, held on a scorching
hot day on the white sands of
a gorgeous beach, exemplified
the culture's relaxed nature. The
bride wore delicate sandals, and
a flowing gown and presented
herself with poise and grace. At
the reception, the coconut trees
intrigued my cousin and me.
The groom helped us retrieve
a single tropical seed from the
tops of one of the towering trees.
Although I attended a wedding on one of the most exotic
places on Earth and found adventure on every corner of the island,
I most enjoyed the time I spent relaxing. My cousin and I received
pedicures at a local spa, lounged
by the pool and casually walked
around markets. As a busy college
student now, I think back to my

H OPPING O N T HE SPRINTER
AN AFTERNOON O N THE RAILS
N ANCY R OSSIGNOL
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
Unless you consider moving
exciting, my Spring Break was
nothing like a trip to Cancun.
The highlight of my week, aside
from avoiding any moving injuries, was the interesting afternoon
I spent riding the Sprinter train.
By midweek, I had settled in
to my new place in Vista, leaving
behind thefirsthalf of the semester and the long commute from
Fallbrook to campus. Now I am
less than a mile from the Vista
Transit Center and about nine
miles from campus. My main
motivation for the move from
Fallbrook to Vista was to save
time commuting, gas, money,
and^to avoid the stresses of driving in heavy traffic. What used to
take a tank of gas per week will
now take about one third of that.
My new place is very convenient to everything I need. I can
walk a half block to the nearest
bus stop, less than a mile to the
Sprinter, a light rail train running a span of 22 miles between
Escondido and Oceanside, and
back again, seven days a week
with newly extended weekend
hours. A single ride, one-way
trip, costs $2 or $1 for seniors
and disabled persons. A regional
day pass is $5, entitling passengers the use of Sprinter, Breeze,
Trolley and MTS regular buses
all day long. CSUSM students
can purchase a monthly pass
for $29, valid on Sprinter and
Breeze. Other discounts are
also available. See the complete
schedule of station locations, departure/arrival times, and ticket
prices at www.GoNCTD.com.
Most CSUSM students use
the Sprinter to travel to and from
campus, but I decided to explore
my new surroundings by taking
in all the stops and sights along
the Sprinter rails. My excursion
began with my parents at the Vista Transit Center at Santa Fe and
East Vista Way, just off the 78
freeway, where we found plenty
of parking and easily located
the user-friendly Ticket Vending Machine (TVM). Free parking and TVMs are available at
most Sprinter stations. We had no
problems inserting our $15 cash
for three tickets, but the machines
do accept major credit cards and
most debit cards. Passengers
can also purchase a Compass
Card: a refillable account card.
Since the Vista station is about
halfway down the line, we decided to head east to the end of
the track in Escondido then turn
around and ride the entire length
of the track to Oceanside for
lunch. The eastbound Sprinter
departed on time at 10:56 a.m. I
found the online schedule very
comprehensive since the trains
run about every half hour in both
directions. It took 20 minutes to
get to the CSUSM station, five
stops away from Vista, which
is exactly how long it takes me
to drive it in good traffic. The
walk from the Sprinter station
to campus is about the same as
walking from the X parking lot.
Going East past CSUSM, there
is only one stop before arriving
at the Escondido Transit Center. Once we arrived in Escondido, the Sprinter switched over
to the westbound track and we
headed back toward Oceanside.
The interior of the Sprinter
was clean, and there was plenty
of room for bikes, strollers, and
luggage. The seats were comfortable with lots of legroom, and the
windows provided a nice panoramic view of the springtime
scenery. Passengers consisted of
all age groups. Even the ticket
taker was friendly. The stations
were well maintained and seemed
secure. We just sat back, relaxed,
and enjoyed the 53-minute ride
from Escondido to Oceanside
with 15 stops along the way. The
ride was so quiet we thought the
Sprinter's power source must be
electrical, especially given the
name "light rail." It surprised
me to find that a clean burning
diesel engine powers the train.
The Oceanside Transit Center
is a major hub with connections
to the Breeze, Coaster, AmTrak,
Metrolink, and Greyhound. Passengers can travel on to popular
destinations in San Diego County
such as Balboa Park, PETCO
Park, the zoo, Old Town, the airport or the far-reaching transit
lines of AmTrak and Greyhound.
There are also plenty of sights
right in Oceanside including
museums and restaurants within
walking distance of the station,
not to mention the Oceanside
pier only four-blocks away. Since
the weather was on the chilly
side, we chose the closest place
we could find: a little burger
place near the Transit Store.
The next time you need to be
somewhere, whether commuting
to campus, work, sightseeing, or
spending a day at the beach, bring
along your bike, your buddies,
and enjoy the ride. You never
know what can happen on a train!

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

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP
ASHLEY DAY
A&JE E DITOR
Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf
team traveled to Huntington
Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships.
The A team came in 6th of 16,
while the B team finished 13th,
their best ranking of the season.
The competition held a number of categories including,
college men's, college women'^ and college longboard.
A team longboarder and surf
team treasurer, Mick Rodgers,
excelled in the competition. He
finished as the Runner-Up State
Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover.
"[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day
one of his involvement," Dr.
Amber Puha, professor in the
department of mathematics and
surf team faculty advisor said.
Rodgers, a senior, is finishing
hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong.
He has been a member of the surf
team since his freshman year.
' The A team shortboard
women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal
performances," Dr. Puha said.
Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in
the college womens round.
CSUSM's surf team .started
in January 2002. In 2009, our
team won thè National Championship. Since its inception,
the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of
strong longboard competitors.
Past surfers Dystin Franks,
Chris Smith and Christian
Clark contributed to putting
CSUSM's surf team on, the map.
Franks competed on the very
first team and scored at least
one State Championship. Smith
earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National
Champion and Clark seized the
2008 National Championship.
"It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the
inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to
the team points " Dr. Puha said.
The surf team competes in
three competitions in the fall
and one in early January. To
get involved with the surf team,
you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into
the semester. There's a chance
to make it onto either the A
team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels.

is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the
rich beach life San Diego offers.
In addition, the surf team helps
build bonds with other students.
'These students bond on the
beach, and they create what
seems to be lasting friendships
that will go beyond their years
at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said.
Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley
Aronson will be the next surf
team captain. He will bring his
surfing skills to CSUSM and
hopefully can lead the surf team
to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to
see what next season brings.
CSUSM will send the
A team to the National Championships in June.

RADIOHEAD
AMY SALISBURY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
I've had a very long, happy
relationship with Thom Yorke,
Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway. And my boyfriend is usually
okay with it. Years and years of
faithfulness fueled my love for
everything those aforementioned
men of Radiohead created, but I
don't know how I feel right now.
People change. So do bands.
In fact, a few years ago, Radiohead broke from their record label
and announced they would pursue
self-released work. They maintain
that their work is entirely selfproduced as well, although the
American record label TBD will

two Radiohead albums stateside:
"In Rainbows" in 2007 and "The

"The King of Limbs" is already

month ago, "Limbs" songs started
appearing all over the Internet as
Radiohead made the album available for download on their merch
website,
radiohead.com/deadairspace, and kingoflimbs.com.
After learning that I could listen to this album at my leisure,
I sort of chose not to. The gossip surrounding this "different"
incarnation of Radiohead and its
reception was disheartening to
say the least. I imagined "The
King of Limbs" was a modern
incarnation of when Bob Dylan
went electric; some people loved
it, and some people hated it.
I also imaged that "The King
of Limbs" wouldn't be as impressive as "Kid A" or "Hail to the
Thief," but I can't pin down what
made me think that. Perhaps that
thought had something to do with

El Dorado hosts an array of

with goofy and groovy 20-somethings who seem to care more
about having a good time and
less about getting in your pants.
The crowd seems like an Urban

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

MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
On Tuesday, March 8, the
Political Science Club at Cal
State San Marcos hosted the
event "Protests and Political
Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr.
Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott
Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East.
The event took place during
U-Hour on Tuesday, and students
poured in to listen to the words of
expert professors. An estimate of
75 attendees crammed themselves
into a University Hall classroom.
Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed
the event as having "perfect
timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle
East [and] it is important people
understand what is going on."
She continued, "not only is it
important to know what's going
on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there."
Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori
aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations.
Dr. Greenwood began the
event with his presentation titled
"Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt
and Libya," which juxtaposed
the democratic success in Tunisia
and Egypt against the tragedy of
events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood
carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable
to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played
by new media such as Facebook

Angeles event tickets as consolation for CSUSM's big budget spring event's cancellation.
ASI raffles a pair of tickets
each to events such as a Lady

Coachella, to name a few, when
students go to CAB events.
"Each CAB event any student comes to can get an opportunity drawing ticket each
time and put it in the event box
they choose, so the more events
you come to the more chances
you have to win," Gallegos said.
ASI reallocated its budget to "beef up" it's currently

and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr.
Greenwood's enthusiasm and
empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he
also discussed. Greenwood often
chanted "We can do this!" as a
way to explain the attitudes of the
demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting
it to the lack of success in Libya.
Following Dr. Greenwood's
presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in
his presentation titled "Iran,
Searching for a Promise." Dr.
Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three
factors: the state, the opposition
and the international dynamic.
Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a
theoretical basis that aided in ex-
plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the
Iranian
demonstrations.
Whether students showed
up for extra credit, free pizza
or sheer interest in the subject,
there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella
Pruitt, surprised by the turnout,
commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our
campus is still very lackluster in
terms of student life [for a variety
of reasons]. I guess we should
have reserved a larger room!"
Awareness gf political and
humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential
these days, and as reflected by
the large student turnout, the
CSUSM community realizes this.

If you have ever dreamed
about working at the Disneyland

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

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

�TAKE CARE OVER THERE
TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY
J ENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E DITOR
The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the
SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in
Spain before he went missing in
February, emblazoned the reality
of travel dangers in stark black
and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the
stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break
adventures. Before packing your
suitcase, refresh yourself with
these travel guidelines that will
help ensure a safe return home.
Before you pick a destination,
check government travel websites
to make sure there are no travel
alerts or warnings for that area.
Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease
are all factors that may render a
country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa-
tion website contains links to these
resources and more at csusm.
e du/global/travelresources.
When deciding what to bring
on your trip, keep in mind that
you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website
travel.safe.gov advises travelers
to "carry the minimum number
of valuables, and plan places to
conceal them. Your passport,
cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe.
When you have to carry them on
your person, you may wish to put
them each in a different place
rather than all in one wallet or
pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny
packs and outside pockets that
are easy targets for thieves. Inside
pockets and a sturdy shoulder
bag with the strap worn across
your chest are somewhat safer.
One of the safest places to carry
valuables is in a pouch or money
belt worn under your clothing."
Additionally, students should
educate themselves about the
laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According
to information on studentsabroad.
state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship
does not make you exempt from
full ^prosecution under another
country's criminal justice system,
and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries
impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered
minor in the United States, and
unlike in the U.S., you may be
considered guilty until proven
innocent. Ignorance of the law
is no excuse, so be informed."
Also be sure to secure proper
documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country.
Once you arrive, exercise street
smarts. You may be there to enjoy
the nightlife, beaches and throngs
of fun loving "spring breakers,"
but enter the scene with a level
head. Studentsabroad.state.gov
says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid
drugs and drug use, use only li-

censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and
be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your
safety. Make sure that you don't
go off alone and that someone
you trust always knows were you
are. Doing so may save your life.
These guidelines may help
students to make wise choices
and have fun while traveling,
but their execution depends on
you. Educate, control, and enjoy
yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing
experiences if done the right way.

Telling 'her story : CSUSM celebrates women's history month

For the past 100 years, women
have shaken the firmament with
the strength of their forwardmarching footsteps. From suffrage and birth control to political
offices and space shuttle missions,
the 20th century saw a surge of
change as women broke free
from oppression and challenged
tradition, leading generations
into a fight for gender equality.
The United States recognizes March as Women's History
Month, honoring the diversity
and achievements of the many
daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks
on the global timeline. Tuesday,

SOFTBALL RIPS
THROUGH COUGAR
CLASH
Few teams of any kind at any
level have dominated a tournament the way Cal State San
Marcos softball dominated their
home tournament this weekend, the Cougar Clash. Playing
their first games on day two of
the tournament, the Cougars
shut out Emerson College 17-0
and the University of British
Columbia 9-0. On Saturday,
CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed
that with an identical 8-0 final
against Hope International. On
Sunday, the Cougars slipped by
UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over
#13 Dickenson State. To go
with the aggregate 48-1 score,
the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from
Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and
a two-hitter by Brittany Boone
followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day
two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday
against Dickenson. Sandberg
moves to 21-4 on the year.
Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have
consisted of 15 men's teams and
no women's teams. In 1972, a
federal law changed that possible
ratio, creating new opportunities
for women in sports. Title IX
of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in
institutions that receive federal
funds. That includes all grade
levels through college and all
programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the
resulting legal challenges created additional components to the
original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and
Senior Women's Administrator at
CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and
women in sports tremendously."
Milo stated there are currently
over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide.
The purpose of Title IX is to
provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common
presumption is that in order to
have equality between the sexes,
there should be an even 50/50
split. However, at many colleges,
women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student
population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men.
Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must
be "proportional," Milo said, by
considering campus population
and other demographic factors.
Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly
in her comprehensive manual,

explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women
and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an
equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for
providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require
institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering
a specific number of teams. It also
does not require the same number
of teams for men and women.
"For men or women, what
sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important,"
Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is
just "the right thing to do."

the 1979 Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation and the
1996 "Three-Part Test," which
according to Bonnette's manual
are the major sources used for
specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of
Title IX regulations. Her manual
also describes the 1979 policy
as consisting of 13 components
separated into three categories of
compliance requirements, or the
"Three-Part Test." The three parts
are accommodation of interests

Milo emphasized that for each
of the three parts, proportionality
is key, because Title IX requires

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

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

Looking for a five star restaurant located in San Marcos,
want to know where you can get
a hot dog at 11 p.m. or plan to
spend Spring Break in a new city
and have no clue what or where
to eat? No need to worry. The
Yelp app comes to the rescue.
With Yelp, users can locate all
nearby dining locations, browse
by their proximity, neighborhood, food pricing and even by
what is open at that exact time.
The Yelp app also allows you
quick and easy access to a large
collection of customer reviews,
allowing you to avoid terrible
eateries. But the Yelp app is not
only user for restaurant finds.
It also helps users find nonfood related necessities, such as
banks, drugstores, bars, shops
and gas stations in your area.
Released Feb. 10, this app sits
proudly on Time Magazines "50
Best iPhone Apps of 2011" for its
large array of information, clear
listings and user friendliness. The
Yelp app has all of the basic ingredients of a GPS app, but goes
a step further by including a large
selection of outside information.
The most impressive feature of
this app is when you are looking at a restaurant and decide to
make a reservation at the said restaurant, your phone can directly
connect you with the push of a
button. The Yelp app is available
in English, Dutch, French and
German. Yelp is available for the
leading smart phones like BlackBerry, iPhone and iPod Touch,
Android, Palm Pre, Yelp Mobile
and Windows Phone 7. Recently, Yelp caused a stir amongst
food lovers as an iPad app due
to the large screen for viewing
dishes from different restaurants.
Whether on the go, traveling out of town or just yearning to learn more about what is
in your community, the versatile Yelp app is perfect for you.

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

This adds more than $3,333 to
the debt burden of graduate and

The proposal by President
Obama comes three days after
the House Republicans suggested
to lower the maximum award of
$5,550 to $4,015 a move Kantrowitz describes as "...part
of a larger package of budget
cuts that seek to cut spending
by $100 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year."
These significant changes
mean that CSUSM can potentially face losing around $7.2
million in tuition. The institution
plans to send congress a joint letter signed by three other university presidents urging congress
not to approve any cuts. Vaughan
also recommends that students

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

the viewer uncomfortable in
their choices of characters, jokes
and plotlines. Louis CK, Lewis
Black, Patton Oswalt and other
popular comics thrive on jokes
similar to those in The Koala.
In my twelfth semester of college (yes, twelfth), I have never
seen a campus so alive with passion and debate, not to mention
finally a dash of the tomfoolery I
expected (a la "Animal House," a
film that pioneered modern rebellious comedy). But some members of the CSUSM faculty and
student body feel that, as The Koala violates the school's mission,
the publication should be shut
down. It does not. It should not.
The administration is right to
cite the First Amendment and
allow the distribution of The
Koala on campus. Hate speech
must be supported by a legitimate criminal threat to violence,
and The Koala members have
no more history of violent acts
than the creators of South Park.
While lessons in morality are
honorable, students are here to
earn degrees and, in turn, make
more money. CSUSM's largest
major, Business Administration,
exists to maximize profit. The
paper's content is unpolished,
could be funnier and less crass,
but considering what sells in
the comedy world, perhaps The
Koala's writers are Cougars who
are actually applying themselves.

With the Kellogg Library being five floors high and nearly
200,000 square feet, some might
feel that the library is too confusing and won't take the time
to explore what the Cal State
San Marcos library has to offer.
Students who do take the
time to check it out will discover a wealth of resources and
a friendly staff that is eager to
help you with any questions.
Construction for the Kellogg
Library began in 1996 and ended in 2004. It bears the name of
multi-million dollar donors Jean
and W. Keith Kellogg II. Today,
The Kellogg Library is home to
roughly 300,000 volumes, print
subscriptions, e-journal titles,
computer files and e-book titles.
The library's website, http://
biblio.csusm.edu/, contains research databases, an online
card catalog and a live librarian chat, among other services.
Only accessible by the elevator or the stairwell next to Starbucks, thefirstfloorof the library
contains the Math Lab, Writing
Center, and several classrooms.
Most students call the first floor
the "dungeon" because there are
no windows and it is darker than
the rest of thefloors.Because it is
partially underground, cell phone
service on thisfloorcan be weak.
The secondfloorof the library
can be most easily accessed from
the outside doors next to Craven Circle. This particular floor
is home to the media library, the
student help desk and the open
computer lab. The media library
has over 10,000 pieces of "media" and can provide DVDs,
CDs, VHS tapes and even film
editing equipment for research
or recreational use. This section
of the library has several conference rooms equipped with
TVs and media playing devices.
Directly across from the me-*
dia library is the Student Help
Desk where students can rent
out laptops and other media de-
vices for several hours. They
also have separate media rooms
available on a first-come-firstserved basis to students who
are not media or arts majors.
The thirdfloorof the library is
likely most familiar to students.
This floor is the library's central
"hub" where students can check
out books or use the reference
materials. There are seventy-eight
computers that students may use
for research or printing documents. Students can purchase
and load print cards on the third
and the second floors. The third
floor lobby hosts a gallery of student art throughout the semester.
The fourth and fifth floors
are very similar to each other.
Both floors contain most of the
library's books, have multiple
desks around the outer edges
and contain group study rooms.
It is possible to get lost easily on
these twofloorsbecause there are
multiple directions of books and
several relaxing coves with comfy chairs throughout the floors.
On the fifth floor, the Reading Room is a perfect place for
relaxing, reading, and working. Lighted tables, several
sofas, and a fireplace add a
unique and calming ambiance to this room in the library.
For those willing to look
around, the Kellogg Library
truly is an indispensable resource for CSUSM students.

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

Commemorating the sacrifice for freedom
MALLANE DRESSEL
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Feb. 22, marks the 68 anniversary of the execution
of the White Rose resistance
group's
founding members.
The group, comprised of German students and professors,
came together in hopes of restoring the personal freedoms that
Hitler's regime smothered during
World War n . Their non-violent
resistance included distributing
pamphlets they wrote advocating tolerance and justice. Holocaustresearchproject.org
states
that in 1943, the young White
Rose members were swiftly tried
and executed for treason under the Peoples Court in Berlin.
CSUSM remembers their commitment to liberty with a White
Rose memorial on the north side
of the Arts building. Since it was
planted in 2003, the white rosebush encourages passersby to
continue the White Rose legacy of solidarity. Students may
water it from the bucket located at the base of the plaque.
One of the group's only surviving members, Dr. George
Wittenstein, selected a quote
from the German philosopher
Johan Gottlieb Fitçhe for the memorial's plaque. It reads, "And
you should act as though all
things German depended solely
upon you and upon your actions
and as though the responsibility were yours and yours alone."

On Saturday, Cal State San
Marcos finished off their extensive opening season doubleheader against Redlands,
dropping the first game 5-2
before outlasting the Bulldogs in a marathon, 19-15.
In the first half, the Cougars
jumped out to a 1st inning lead
when Derrisha Lacey crossed
the plate on a double steal, and
got another run in the 2nd on
a double by Heavin-Lee Rodriguez. But Redlands would
put up 6 runs on CSUSM
ace Brenna Sandberg, while
Bulldogs pitcher Kayla Uphold shut down the Cougars
for the remaining innings.
The second game looked to
be all CSUSM going into the
bottom half of the 7th, as they
led 19-8. The Bulldogs gave the
Cougars a scare in the inning,
though, scoring 8 before Sarah
Beeman tried to stretch a double
into a triple and was thrown
out. Rodriguez went 5-for-5
with 5 RBI in the game, while
Alex Miller went 4-for-4 with
3 doubles, 4 runs and 4 RBI.

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

Kretchmer throws 6 no-hit innings in return to the mound
KYLE TREMBLEY
C ONTRIBUTOR
Matt Kretchmer threw six innings of no-hit ball as Cal State
San Marcos baseball snapped a
short losing streak on Friday, defeating Azusa Pacific 3-1 at home.
CSUSM improves to 7-5 on
the year. Azusa drops to 6-4. The
second game of Friday's scheduled double-header was rained
out, but the cloudy skies did
nothing to dampen the spirit of
the CSUSM Cougars, who were
anxious to get back in the win
column after four straight losses.
Kretchmer was the story, as
the tall lefty turned in a no-hit effort that was only halted by a high
pitch count and a little wildness.
The senior walked six and a ctu^

five and silenced Azusa's bats. He

1997:
Bob and Ruth Mangrum donate a generous amount toward the construction of
an Olympic size soccer, field and track course for CSUSM. Key figures in this time period include Dr. Steven Nichole, CSUSM'
first athletic director and Debbie Dale, the driving
and "team mom" of Cougar Athletics. Steve Scott,
the greatest mile runner in American history, be
came the program's first cross-country and track
coach and still holds that position today.
1990:
Men's and women's golf, cross-country
and track and field were first introduced
as official intercollegiate sports and
the first year of construction began
on the Mangrum Track and Soccer Field. These "lifelong sports'
became the focus of Cougar
Athletics and the programs became almost instantly successful competing in the National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). From their
very first season of competition, the women's golf team
qualified for the NAIA National Championships and
has continued to do so every year since. Overall, between 1998 and 2005, all four
of our team sports men's and
women's golf, men's and women's cross-country finished in

He drew a walk, promptly stole
second and third, and scored on a
solid Ryle Parks base hit to center.
Smart worked around an error
to finish out the contest, getting
help from first baseman Austin
Coleman, who made a very nice
over-the-shoulder catch in foul
territory on the game's final out.
The second game lasted two
innings before being rained out.
That game will be scrapped, and
the two teams will play again
on Monday at Azusa Pacific in
a single game starting at 3 p.m.

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

KINGS OF
CONVENIENCE
s
AMY SALISBURY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Two years ago, when I came up
with the title "Hits of Sunshine"
for this column, I intended the
"sunshine" part to indicate that
the following few paragraphs are
meant to bring a new light to one's
growing music repertoire. Maybe
the reason for my word choice
stemmed from creating it during
the cold, foggy days of mid-winter. Or maybe it was just because
I liked the Sonic Youth song.
With that said, my present
feelings tend toward lengthening
days and warmth. So, for whatever this batch of words turns into,
take "sunshine" as a little reminder that summer is never far away,
even during the coldest of February rain. Plus we're in southern California. We're spoiled.
One of the easiest conduc-
tors of mood is, arguably, music. It can take you to different
time, different places, and different situations entirely. Some
even call music their "escape."
Well, I currently care to escape
from the looming weather; therefore, with my above sunshine
and music library, I will turn to
"Gold in the Air of Summer."
Erlend 0 ye and Eirik Glambek B0e are the indie-driven,
folky duo known as Kings of
Convenience. 0 ye and B0e started performing together with two
friends at the age of 16 in their
first band called Skog, Norwegian for "forest." The duo split
from Skog to pursue a different musical direction, forming
Kings of Convenience and signing a record deal in 1999. Ever
since their first album, "Quiet
is the New Loud," the band has
been known for its parallels to
Simon and Garfunkel, and most
notably, its emotive qualities.
After much critical acclaim
for "Quiet is the New Loud," the
band released "Riot on
an Empty Street" in 2004. The
album broke into the US top 50
charts, but 0 ye and B0e managed to remain below the radar.
0 ye released some solo work
and started another band, The
Whitest Boy Alive, while B0e
focused on his personal life.
"Gold in the Air of Summer,"
off "Riot," begins with an acoustic quietly strumming until two
harmonized voices complement
the chords. 0 ye and B0e speak
of a spontaneous journey to a
"house that used to be / the home
of a friend of mine." Single piano
notes form a melody in front of
the guitar as a light Norwegian
accent flows through the English
words; without the music, the lyr-
ics read like a poem. The guitar
stops, leaving the voices to sing
the title a capella. The music returns and progresses like a warm
breeze would, coming to an almost cliffhanger of an ending.
After five years of waiting,
Kings of Convenience released
their newest album, "Declaration of Dependence," in early
October of 2010. 0 ye will appear with Whitest Boy Alive at
the Coachella Music Festival
in April of this year, and Kings
of Convenience are currently
in the process of rescheduling
tour dates after B0e fell ill during an east coast show according to an unofficial announcement on the band's MySpace.

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

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK RESIGNS
COUNTRY'S VP ANNOUNCES TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
PHILIP MYKEL FLORES
NEWS EDITOR
A fter numerous pro/ \ tests and continued
JL JLcrisis in the streets of
Egypt, Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak resigned last Friday,
Feb. 11 and handed over the much
needed power to the military after 30 years in power. Cheers
and applause exploded among
the streets of Cairo as thousands
listened to the one-minute announcement televised on state
television by Vice President
Omar Suleiman confirming the
resignation of Mubarak. He also
announced that Supreme Council
of the Armed Forces will "run the
affairs of the country," proceeding the resignation of Mubarak.
Chants such as "God is great"
and "Egypt is free" echoed the
streets of Cairo, while others
cheered and waved the coutry's
flag as the people of Egypt finally reached a moment long
awaited throughout the uprising.
As Egypt continues its struggle to achieve democracy, it is
known that in order for the country to become stable, it must work
on improving many of the country's democratic institutions. For
now, with the help of the military, people in Egypt will remain
safe as the country strives to rebuild itself and its government.

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

�TECHTOLOGY THROUUDOUUfl
COmPflRinG THE TOP THREE TfißLET COfïlPUTERS
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
When the iPad was released
in April 2010, consumers and
tech geeks alike were certain of
one thing: competing companies
would do their best to develop
an "iPad killer." The iPad's release anniversary is only two
months away, and within the past
year a slew of devices have challenged its popularity. The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell
Streak are currently the iPad's
biggest threats. Though these
devices are all tablet computers,
they each have distinct features
that can mean the difference
between a purchase or a pass.
The operating system is the
most obvious difference in these
devices. The iPad, starting at
$499, currently runs on Apple's
iOS 4.2.1 on AT&T and Verizon's
3G network. Apple's iPhone
arid iPod Touch also run on this
same operating system (which
can be a positive or negative aspect depending on your own experiences). Both the Samsung
Galaxy Tab, starting at $549
and the Dell Streak, moderately
priced around $200, run on the
Android operating system version 2.2 called Froyo. The Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers that offer 3G coverage. The
Streak is only available through
AT&T's 3G network. Consumers who already have Android
phones or iPhones might choose
their devices based on the operating systems or networks
they are already familiar with.
The iPad utilizes Apple's
popular App Store to bring users
the largest library of applications
to date. However, the Android
Market's growing fan base has
given Apple stiff competition.
While proponents of Apple and
Android have their disagreements
regarding which store is better,
a number of the most popular
apps can be found in both the Android Market and the App Store.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab and
the Dell Streak were designed for
portability. The Samsung features
a seven-inch display and the Dell
features a five-inch display. The
displays of both devices are in
widescreen, a component
ideal for watching movies. The iPad's display
is a whopping 9.7 inches
with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. When choosing the right device, size
does matter. Though bigger does not always mean
better. The Streak can be
a handy tablet that fits in
most any purse or large
pocket, whereas the iPad
can serve as a light laptop replacement suitable
for backpack storage.
Each device has attractive features to set it
apart from the other two.
According to endgadget.
com, the Streak is the
only one of the three with
the ability to make phone
calls and send texts, allowing it to serve as a

phone replacement.
The Galaxy Tab
and the Streak have
front facing cameras,
giving them videochatting capabilities.
Both the Samsung
and the Dell feature
cameras while the
current iPad model
does not. However,
the iPad does have
three different models with varying storage sizes; the largest
is 64 gigabytes. The
Samsung has a 16 gigabyte model and 32
gigabyte model with a microSD
slot allowing for more memory.
The Dell has only one 2 gigabyte model with a microSD slot.
While these tablet computers are relatively new to the
mainstream market, consum-
ers can expect to see more devices in the coming year with Bottom left: Samsung Galaxy

�BLACK HISTORY M ONTH
C E L E B R A T I N G A C H I E V E M E N T , T ALENT, H OPE

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
February is Black History
Month, a time set aside that recognizes and appreciates all aspects of black history and culture.
According to biography.com,
the origins of the prideful observance began in the 1920s with
the determination of Dr. Carter
G. Woodson, the second black
student at Harvard University,
and with the fraternity Omega Psi
Phi's creation of Negro History
and Literature Week. Woodson
chose the month of February to
celebrate black history in recognition of Abraham Lincoln, who
was born on Feb. 12 and issued
the Emancipation Proclamation, also to acknowledge the
abolitionist Frederick Douglass
whose birthday falls on Feb. 14.
Leaders in black history, such
as the influential civil rights
movement icon Martin Luther
King Jr., influential civil rights
icon; Barack Obama, the first
African-American U.S. president,
and Jtsse Owens, the talented
track star have achieved worldwide recognition for their accomplishments. However, Black
History Month is more than just

a reserved time to reflect on past
achievements. The observance
focuses on celebration, encouraging African-American historical research and garnering
inspiration for culture's future.
Popular media celebrates
Black History Month nationwide. The entertainment television channel MTV provides
coverage and stories of AfricanAmerican musicians and icons,
such as Rosa Parks, throughout
the month of February. Black
ican Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) hosts various
events to honor Black History
Month. The association holds a
Black History Trivia contest, in
which winners respond to questions throughout February via
email and have the opportunity
to win gift cards. More information is on the CSUSM website under "News and Events."
Both active participation with
on and off-campus organizations and indulgence in learning about Black History Month
on television and on the Internet
allows for an appreciation of
history and accomplishments.
Many movements, rights and
entertainment have changed
lives and the course of American history, so Black History
Month shouldn't be overlooked.
As time passes, more AfricanAmericans and their talents add
to the long list of historically significant events, but as for 2011,
those who celebrate black history must embrace the past and
present, and express hope for a

Student Health and

(SHCS) invited a variety
of organizations to participate in the event, and
more than a dozen tables
displayed informational
pamphlets, sexual enhancement aids, magazines, brochures, and condoms. There
were colorful condoms of
many sizes and shapes;
there were flavored condoms and even some that
were contorted into artwork.
National Condom Day
is a part of the American
Social Health Association's
(ASHA) recognition of February as National Condom

health services fee. This fee entitles all regularly enrolled students, part-time or full-time, to
health services provided through
SHCS: clinic visits, counseling services, flu shots and other
vaccines, women's health exams
and more. Tuition also includes
a $25 health facilities fee that
pays for rent and maintenance of
the SHCS clinic at PPH, located
across the street from campus
at 120 Craven Road, Suite 100.
Students may consult with a
doctor, ijurse practitioner, nurse,
counselor, or the health educator.
Visits to the clinic or counselor
require no co-payment. Minimal
fees are charged for psychiatric
services, certain physical exams,
laboratory or radiology tests,
and prescriptions. According to
their website, SHCS "strivefs]
to promote services and health
education designed to prevent
and resolve health problems that
may interfere with student retention and success." With that goal
in mind, SHCS sponsors events
each semester. Coming up on
Feb. 22 at noon in Mark 102 is

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

The circus came to town on
Thursday morning,, but not to
the Convention Center, not to
Qualcomm Stadium, not even to
an empty parking lot. This time
the circus came to the artificial
turf of a football field, on the
campus of a local high school.
Several dozen media members and guests from around the
country converged on Cathedral
Catholic High School in Del
Mar, gathering to watch Cam
Newton throw a football. Newton, this year's NCAA football
Heisman Trophy winner—the
best player in college football—
came to San Diego in January
to work with local quarterback
coach George Whitfield, Jr.
Whitfield prepares young
quarterbacks for the college game,
traveling with them to major colleges around the country making
connections with coaches and
scouts. This fall, when NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was
cames

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

\ New mural recruits students and community to participate in 'diversity7
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Arts Association is working with the Visual
& Performing Arts (VPA) 181
class to plan, propose and paint
a mural at the University Village Apartments on campus.
CSUSM recently created VPA
181, a class dedicated to learning
the process involved with the conceptualization, collaboration and
creation of a large-scale mural.
For this project, students, artist and CSUSM professor Doris
Bittar and artist Isaias Crow work
to develop a work of art for the
UVA. Crow pursues to mesh his
unique artistic qualities with civic
engagement programs to bring
communities together through art.
To ensure community inclusion , the artists invited members of
the surrounding San Marcos community to participate in the project and work alongside CSUSM
students and faculty to represent the aspects of diversity that
make up CSUSM's community.
The mural is still in its
early planning stages. Students, faculty and community
members search to pinpoint
what it means to be a member of the CSUSM community.
"We want to represent us
students, you know, really capture the heart of Cal State San
Marcos, and we're still searching to find out exactly what that
means," CSUSM student participant Brittany Galante said.
To answer that question,
Galante and other project members set off to interview students
from all corners of campus, invoking questions about what it
means to be a member of the
CSUSM community and what
makes CSUSM so unique. The
CSUSM community offered
words such as "diversity," "inspiration" and "passion." These
words serve as a sneak peak
into what the mural will convey.
The project leaders divided members of the project
into groups, where each group

proposed ideas for the mural. Then, each group presented their ideas to the rest of the
project members and leaders.
Now, Crow and Professor Bittar can amalgamate ideas from
each group into one cohesive
mural design. The conceptualizing process of the mural represents the community because it
aims to portray multiple groups

unite and improve our campus.
The mural's location will be

they plan to take a careful amount

�COMIC C ON GLITCH
BADGES SELL OUT FASTER THAN EXPECTED LEAVING THOUSANDS OF FANS IN THE LURCH
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
San Diego's 41-annual
Comic-Con takes place the
weekend of July 21 - 24, but
those who have not purchased
tickets yet are out of luck.
In a matter of seven hours, individual day and four-day badges to
the 2011 Comic-Con convention
completely sold out. This year's
convention sellout is an impressive milestone compared to the
2009 convention, which sold out
of badges in roughly six months
and last year's convention, which
sold out in just two months.
Since Nov. 2, 2010, Comic
Con attempted to sell badges online to fans twice, but both times,
two different sites experienced
high amounts of traffic at selling
time and crashed before fans purchased any passes. Three months
later, relieved fans heard a new
site called TicketLeap felt confident their site could sell the badges without overcapacity. Tick-
etLeap guaranteed their site to
handle a simultaneous amount of
thousand people on the site without crashing. Fans relief turned
into pure frustration at 9:05 a.m.,
when the TicketLeap site sent out
error messages saying, "We'll
be right back. TicketLeap is currendy down for maintenance,"
and, "We are currently over capacity, and the site will be back
momentarily." Fans felt defeated
by the new site, especially after
TicketLeap's twitter page read,
"If you see an over capacity mes-
sage, hit refresh. We are under
heavy loadrightnow and it should
smooth out." After continuously
hitting refresh buttons in different stages, some buyers slowly
made their way through the pass
purchasing process. TicketLeap
averaged that fans requested the
site 400,000 times per minute.
Comic-Con will not disappoint the fans who defeated the
ticket purchasing process. This
year's convention features a large
amount of comic book and sci-fi/
fantasy blockbusters slated for
release through 2011 and 2012.
The movies "Thor," "Captain
America" and "Transformers,"
premiere later this year, so directors will speak on their films
at the convention. Comic-Con
may highlight films slated to
premiere in 2012, such as "The
Avengers" and the much-anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises."

21 ANNUAL SAN DIEGO JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
BROADENING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
ASHLEY DAY
FEATURES EDITOR
For the past 21 years, San
Diego's Jewish community celebrated the history and experience
of Jews with films based on Jewish obstacles and lifestyle. The
San Diego Jewish Film Festival
portrays the Jewish experience in
the form of contemporary films.
Our campus also offers a
course on the Jewish culture.
This semester, the class, History
383: Women and Jewish History,
taught by Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall,
surveys Jewish culture and the
roles women partake in, as Jews.
Dr. Sepinwall requires History 383
students to attend a film from the
San Diego Jewish Film Festival.
"The festival tries to bring
to life the diversity of the Jewish experience around the
Photo courtesy of lQcc.org
world," Dr. Sepinwall said.
Everyone understands the
struggles the Jewish community endured throughout documented history, but the festival
picks films that shed new light
on different realities Jews faced.
"Tfle films range from Holocaust themes to...Jewish in
American baseball and in the
Civil War. The films also focus
on universal issues like teenage
angst, feminism and childhood
memories," Dr. Sepinwall added.
One film premiering at this
year's festival is the French
made, "La Rafle." In English, "La
Rafle" translates to "The Round
Up." The film showcases the true
story of French Jewish refugees
being 'rounded up' to go to the
horrible Eastern European internment camps of World War II.
Dr. Laurance Baron, Nasitir
professor of modern Jewish history, opened the film with a few
words. Dr. Baron spoke of the
history of Jews in France, reminding the audience that France
was the first country to grant
Jews equal rights. "La Rafle,"
reveals the travesty of these
equal rights being rescinded.
The spoken language of the
film is mostly French, but audience members quickly adjust to
reading English subtitles. "La
Rafle" is beautifully composed
of rich scenes that propel you
into 1940s France. Themes of
loss, gender, importance of family and human atrocity against
each other capture the hearts of
the viewer. French actors Jean
Reno and Melanie Laurent portray medical physicians, who
care for Jewish children while
they wait to be shipped off to die.
"La Rafle" is one of 40 plus
films featured at the 2011 festival. Anyone interested in
learning more about Jewish
culture or more on life is welcome to attend the festival.
"The festival has always been
really welcoming to CSUSM
students," Dr. Sepinwall said.
"Students in History 383 and
other classes have been offered
free tickets, thanks to
the festival and the
Leichtag Family Foundation," she added.
The San Diego Jewish Film Festival runs
from Feb. 10 - 20.
This year, the festival
added three new venues
in Clairemont, Carlsbad and
conveniently at the Edwards San
Marcos Stadium 18, along with
their existing venues in La Jolla
and Mission Valley. Actors
and directors from
the films
and guest speakers precede or
follow most^ of the presentations, so you may get a chance
to speak to them. For more information, visit www.sdjff.org

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

A CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
D ONT ASK, D ONT TELL
MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Dec. 17, 2010 the Senate
voted to repeal the 17-year-old
D on't Ask, D on't Tell (DADT)
policy, which prohibited the
LGBT community from serving openly in the military.
The act prohibited any openly
gay or lesbian service members
from being asked about their
sexual relationships and marriages and also banned LGBT
service members f rom telling
others about their sexual orientation. The repeal reflects the
federal government's
intention to make sexual orientation less taboo in the military.
The Senate's 65-30 vote on
the policy was preceded by the
House's vote of 250-175 on Dec.
16. Censure circulated through
Capitol Hill as Republicans and
Democrats debated the effectiveness of the policy and its constitutional alignment. Both California
senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein voted in favor of the
hailed as the most comprehensive electronic blackout in history, a plan Mr. Obama has not
only not decried but has reserved
for his own use in this country. As reports the UK's Daily
Mail, "under proposed new laws,
President Barack Obama would
have the power to cut access to
the Internet in the event of a cyber threat to national security."
While the law is couched in language designed to instill a fear
of "cyber terrorists" and other
threats, it is important to know
that both the Bush and Obama
Departments of Homeland Security define a terrorist as anyone
who, among other things, overtly
appeals to the "constitution."
Despite the governments attempt to stifle the uprising, Egypt

representatives Brian Bilbray (R50), Duncan Hunter (R-52), and
Darrell Issa (R-49) voted against
the repeal while representatives
Susan Davis (D-53) and Bob Filner (D-51) voted in favor of it.
The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was met with slews of constitutional challenges and political
warfare during its 17 year run.

FROM, EGYPT, P.l
Egypt has never in its thousands of years had a democratic
government. Tadros reflects,
"Egyptians might not know what
democracy actually means, but
that does not make the concept
any less desirable. Perhaps it is
precisely its vagueness and abstraction that makes the concept
all the more desirable." Furthermore, a democracy is Egypt
would no doubt attract fringe
groups who will want to either
disrupt or join the party. General Peters acknowledges that

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

Just three weeks after the
Tucson Tragedy, an empty chair
remains in the chamber of the
House of Representatives for
the wounded Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), and
the president opened his remarks
about the meaning of that event.
In sum, "Tucson reminded us that
no matter who we are or where
we come from, each of us is a
part of something greater—something more consequential than
party or political preference."
He combined his "schlacking"
in the midterms, the sober tone of
the new Congress, and a tempered
optimism to forge not just political reconciliation but a moderate
agenda. President Barack Obama

�FROM, ASK, T ELL, P . 1
Much recent attention to the
policy was brought forth by California native and former First
Lieutenant, Dan Choi, who was
discharged f rom the military after
coming out during an interview
on The Rachel Maddow Show.
Lt. Choi argued in an open letter
to Congress and President Obama
that the policy was unconstitutional and actually hindered military effectiveness, "My subordinates know I 'm gay. They don't
care. They are professional."
The policy was originally
supported by the idea that the
presence of openly homosexual
members in the military would
pose risks t o the order, morale,
and cohesiveness in the military
atmosphere. However, over 17
years, many like Lt. Choi have
worked to discredit this idea and
instead argue that forcing service
members to lie about their identity created more of a hindrance on
military effectiveness and morality while simultaneously perpetuating the same moral problem the
policy was intended to diminish.
However, the repeal of the
D on't Ask, Don't Tell policy has
not been made official. Though
the repeal was passed in both
the Senate and the House, and
President Obama has signed it
into law, the bill requires that
the president, Defense Secretary and Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff must each certify
that the bill will not detract from
military readiness. From there,
the military has 60 days to officially implement the repeal.
Local San Diego Representative Duncan Hunter has introduced the Restore Military
Readiness Act which would require additional signatures for
the repeal's implementation. This
could potentially threaten the fate
of the Don't Ask, D on't Tell repeal by slowing down its implementation and extending the status quo. While the congressional
passage of the Don't Ask, Don't
Tell repeal has slowly opened
closet doors for many homosexual service members, it might still
be a matter of time before they
are able to take the first step out.

The Koala, a tabloid launched
last week by some CSUSM
students, has achieved its publishers' apparent goal: to inflame the university community with hate speech.
"Apparent" because, while
The Koala has certainly engendered impassioned responses, the
predominantly white males behind the publication have refused
to discuss what it is they have
wrought — or to identify themselves. At a recent recruitment
meeting, they would not give
their names and avoided being
photographed; they moved the
meeting to a private dorm room
to exclude critics and news media; and they demanded 30-packs
of beer f rom journalists who requested interviews, which, given
their likely ages, smacks of soliciting criminal acts — and chal-
lenges their legitimacy as a newspaper, as they describe The Koala.
It is The Koala's content
(downloadable at csusmkoala.
com) that most effectively challenges the newspaper
claim. Just about every
demographic — except
straight, white males —
is addressed with violent,
prurient and/or grotesque
language: gays and lesbians, women, rape and pe
dophilia victims, pediatric
cancer and burn patients,
African Americans, Latinos,
Asians and Muslims. The
Koala is a miasma of isms.
Anecdotally, the "rea
sonable person" test of The
Koala's content suggests that
many CSUSM students and staff
indeed find much of the content
obscene — obscene and hateful. But obscenity remains in
the eye of the beholder, and in
the United States we can speak

freely whether our speech is
hateful, loving or indifferent.
More interesting are the test
results of The Koala's two advertisers, cougarbookrentals.com
and Miramar Wellness Center — "interesting" because it
takes fund-
ing to publish any speech.

corn's open platform, an "entrepreneur" who can "choose to
market it any way they want."
Nonetheless, when read content from The Koala, Geller's
response was, "Oh! Oh god!
Okay, that's enough!" An articulate man — and pragmatic
— he disavowed any responsibility for cougarbookrental's ad
and declared that bookrenter.com
"would never, ever, ever" advertise in The Koala. He also said,
" I'm going to contact the owner
of [csusmbookrentals.com] and
first make sure he or she is aware
of what this is all about." Then the

ing." Whether or not? Hmmm.
The Miramar Wellness Center
(at 858-689-9098), a' marijuana
dispensary, had a slightly more
definitive response. An employee
who did not identify herself said
the Wellness Center had received
"a lot of upset calls, a whole lot"
and that the manager would not
take any more, but she added, "I
heard [the ad] was a mistake and
they are trying to get it removed."
That's promising, but, in the
meantime, what to do about
the privileged young men who
publish hate with anonymity?
Read The Koala so you can
make informed comments about
it (available at csusmkoala.
com). Although the thing is no
joy, condemning something you
haven't read is shallow commentary. And ignorance is not bliss.
Contact The Koala's advertisers to reinforce the message
that their ad dollars are supporting content that encourages
pedophilia, racism, misogyny,
rape and domestic violence.
If a second issue comes out,
contact any new advertisers.
State your opinion of The Koala freely and frequently. The right
to free speech goes both ways:
They have the right to speak and
you have the right to criticize
what they say — maybe even the
responsibility. Hate that goes unchallenged goes on and on and on .
Find some peace in this
thought: What goes on the Internet stays on the Internet, and one
day in the next few years The Koala's publishers will be looking for
jobs in competitive marketplaces
where respect for diversity, social
maturity and the ability to selfedit will be deciding factors for
employment. These young men
have already round-filed their job
applications by exercising a most
wonderful right irresponsibly.

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

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

Day, maybe it's time to re-define the way you celebrate love.
The modern observance of
Valentine's Day, which often
includes fancy restaurant dinners and heart-shaped jewelry,
has changed drastically since its
ancient origin. According to History .com, Valentine's Day began
in Rome under dreary social conditions during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Legend states
that Claudius outlawed marriage
in order to raise a powerful army
of unattached young soldiers. In
retaliation, a courageous priest
named Valentine performed
secret marriages for lovers.
The month of February signaled a time for fertility and purification to the ancient Romans. In
these times, women were the ob-
ject of superstitious ceremonies
rather than celebrated as romantic
partners. The Roman men sacrificed goats, and boys roamed the
streets slapping women with strips
of hide in order to encourage fertility. In addition to the hide slapping, women put their names in
a lottery to be paired with a man.
Fortunately, secretive marriages, hide slapping and pairing
lotteries no longer mark the celebration of Valentine's Day, and
people are free to tailor their celebrations to match their individual
views of the holiday. The predictable dinner and a movie, flowers,
candy and gift exchanges present couples with some ideas for
Valentine's Day, but what about
those currently out of a relationship? For singles, the absence of
a romantic valentine may contribute to a day filled with pessimistic cynicism. However, there are
many possibilities for an enjoyable day if singles change their
perspective. Generosity, kindness
and loVe can be openly and vastly
expressed to friends and family.
If Facebqok love quizzes and
Cupid's arrow can't generate romance, get creative! Activities
to inspire love and show care
on Valentine's Day include time
spent making homemade cards
for family and friends, leaving
encouraging post-it notes for
roommates, volunteering time
and making a donation to charity. Cards, whether homemade or
store-bought, don't have to be traditionally romantic, but thoughtful messages to loved ones.

The University Village Apartments offers other ways to give
gifts. "We have candy grams
and Valentine's for Veterans to
honor and support U.S. military
members and veterans," UVA
staff member Bbwie Tintle said.
Whether the gifts or thoughts
of Valentine's Day cause excitement, dread or indifference, expression of love doesn't have to
be thrown in a negative light by
those who scorn the holiday. As
Ashton Kutcher said in the film
"Valentine's Day," "Love is the
only shocking act left on the planet." So celebrate all forms of love
this Valentine's Day and enjoy the
company of those you hold dear.

SPORTS EDITOR
As the spring season opens,
a f ew Cal State San Marcos
athletes are putting in a bit of
extra time behind the desk.
This year, the captains of
each squad have been asked to
write a preview of their season's
schedule, looking forward to upcoming events and key players.
These previews have been aptly
titled "Captain's Corner," and are
available on the Cougar athletics website, csusmcougars.com.
According to Sports Information Director Kyle Trembley, the
brains behind the project belong
to m en's track and field captain
Brett Campfield. The track star,
a junior transfer f rom Princeton, approached the athletic department over the winter break
with the idea that since captains
were designated by their respective teams as representatives,
they should to be the ones telling their fans what to expect.
Campfield shows off his Ivy

in an individual sport like track
and field. "Watching a teammate

to run a mile f or every 3-putt
we have during qualifying."
Cole also said the women's
golf team arrives at Lake San
Marcos Country Club at 6:30
Four short essays were u p on
the website as of Saturday, including those by w omen's golf captain
Stephanie Cole, m en's golf captain Adam Loran, w omen's track
andfieldcaptain Jessica Sandoval.
Cole, a junior, shared some
particularly insightful information about the time athletes spend
in preparation. "Every Friday,
we all attend a yoga class at 6:30
a.m. daily, running drills and
playing as many holes as possible
until class begins around 10 a.m.
Sophomore Loran shared
his hopes f or the senior-less
m en's
golf
team.
"Comprised of eight men, we rely
on team unity and consistency
to make it to the top," he said.
Sandoval had quite a bit more
to cover, due to the massive size
ÌÌTi
of the women's track team. There
are currently 54 athletes on the
official roster. The junior f rom
Oceanside offered plenty of inside information on the squad's
organization, and explained to
fans unfamiliar to the sport what
some events are comprised o f.
For example, "Coach Scott is
also composing a relay team that
will either run the 4x800 meters or the distance medley relay in which every person runs
a different distance, beginning
with 1200 meters, then 400 meters, 800 meters, and the last
leg runs 1600 meters," she said.
A f ew weeks into the season,
the baseball and softball teams
are currently unrepresented in the
Captain's Corner. Still, Campfield and the athletic department
have received positive feedback f rom the project, and they
are hopeful to feature previews
f rom the two remaining captains,
Trembley said. For now, the four
"Corners" make up a group of
fascinating essays that are worth
a read, written by CSUSM athletes who are anything but square.

TRACK AND FIELD
UPDATE
Cal State San Marcos, still new
to indoor track and field, sent
nearly the minimum amount of
athletes to the Northern Arizona
University Track Invitational on
Saturday, and therefore had a
difficult time amassing enough
points to compete. However, the
Cougars were not without stars
at the event. M en's captain Brett
Campfield took first place in the
one-mile race, leaning across
the line with a time of 4:22.39.
Daniel Lyon and Armando Lara
finished second and third in the

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

wasn't huge and tech toppled
the rest. The commercials were
visually appealing but the scripts
were weak. We may never see
the funny commercials that we
once expected from the Super
Bowl. Instead, we may be wise
to expect more special effects,
technology, and interactivity that
begs the need for a bigger television and a better phone.

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

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

EDITOR IN CHIEF
After nearly a decade of
hosting commencement off
campus, Spring 2011 graduates will now enjoy the honor
of celebrating their graduation
ceremony on home ground.
On May 2011, three graduation ceremonies will be held at
the Mangrum Track and Field
allowing seating for approximately 3,000 guests. Guests do
not require tickets, but students
are suggested to bring immediate family only or no more than
10 guests each. Seating is on
a first come, first serve basis.
Each graduate needs tofillout
an RSVP form confirming attendance to walk for graduation and
informing the Commencement
Office of how many guests each
graduate anticipates will attend.
Submit an RSVP form by visiting
www.csusm.edu/commencement.
Although graduation may
seem months away, making early preparations help the big day
run smoother. Gradfest, a special
"Grad only" event offers graduates cap and gown sales, photo
frames for diplomas, class rings,
photography packages and everything that a graduate would need.
Gradfest will be held March 15,10
a.m. - 4 p.m., March 16,10 a.m.
- 7 p.m., and March 17,10 a.m. 4 p.m. at the Clarke Field House
in the Grand Salon. The University Store will also sell caps and
gowns later on in the semester.
Graduation announcements
may be also purchased online
through Herff Jones by visiting
www.herffjones ,
c o m / c o l l eg t i c s u s m .
Graduates earning academic
honors receive a gold cord , on
the day of their ceremony. These
honors are calculated based on
the semester prior to graduation. Overall grade point average (GPA) and institutional GPA,
the lower of the two, determine
eligibility for academic honors.
Magna cum laude 3,70 - 3.89
Summa cum laude 3.90 - 4tOQ
Ceremony schedules vary
depending on major. For a complete list of times, please visit
the commencement website.
Though graduation inspires
celebratory behavior, CSUSM
prohibits the consumption
of alcohol on campus property, including all parking lots.

I NTERNET CENSORSHIP BILL H EADING BACK T O SENATE
SENATE T O REVIEW BILL THAT WOULD CHANGE THE INTERNET
JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), if passed, would allow the
Attorney General to target "Internet sites dedicated to infringing activities." This act would
include websites both in and outside the country. This includes
any site that has "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than unlawful
sharing of copyrighted material."
While there is no debate on
whether these sites targeted are
indeed acting outside the law,
there is concern that the Attorney General's ability to re-
moved whatever site he deems
"inappropriate" would be outside of constitutional bounds.
Opposition to the bill claims
it leads the U.S. down a torrid
path lined with censorship. After condemning countries such
as China for their regular practice of internet censorship, a
bill that would allow for similar
practices does not seem ideal.
The largest issue with the present bill is that the criteria for examining a site is extremely broad,
which gives many legitimate
websites a cause for concern.
The site Dropbox.com is one
such company that would come
under fire should such a bill be
passed. Dropbox is an online storage site where users can upload
and store files as an alternative to
physical storage. But under this
new act, Dropbox would be in violation of storing illegal copies of
copyrighted material, due to random users uploading and storing
thefilesusing Dropbox's services.
Also at risk are revenues from
ad services such as AdSense by
Google. The small text ads that appear on the majority of sites now
would be banned from advertising on the sites deemed illegal. As
ads are Google's major source of
income, the bill could have a drastic effect on the search giant's revenue stream in the years to come.
While the bill has caused concern for many website admins and
Internet users alike, there is little
to no chance that it will be passed,
or even examined, before the end for a media outlet that has been
of the current session of Congress. largely unregulated until now.
The most outspoken critic of
the bill is Senator Ron Wyden (DOR), who described the COICA
as "using a bunker-busting cluster
bomb when what you really need
is a precision-guided missile/'
The bill's creation has been
met with thunderous applause
from the music and film industries, who have been lobbying
for stricter control over illegal
download of copyrighted material
from thé government for years.
Whether or not the bill passes,
its inception marks a change in
the relationship between government and the internet. It marks Photo courtesy of dynamicbusiness .com .au
the beginning of a new era of potential censorship and regulation

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

The more times you visit a

For me, that place is Oslo, Norway, the city in which my lovely

across the city in no time. Even
so, I have found that the Trikk—
the older trolley system—can be
a much more exciting way to get
to your destination. Magnificent
views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old
Norwegian
buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski
jump perched on a mountainside.
If you are riding the T-bane
to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The
cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese
sandwiches are delicious, and
sliced bread and "brunost"—
brown cheese—are a must-try.
I still have yet to gather the guts
to taste Norwegian reindeer stew,
but eating fishballs with steamed
potatoes and vegetables covered
in white sauce makes me feel
like a local. If traditional food
isn't on your menu, Oslo features
some of the world's finest ethnic
cuisines. This time around, we
agreed that the food at Jaipur, an

enchanting Indian place right in
the middle of the city served the
best Indian food either of us had
ever tasted. Another favorite is
kabob, a late night Greek/Middle
Eastern treat beloved by Norwegians though you can find kabob
all across the European continent.
The Norwegian people are
especially quiet and reserved,
but here's another detail one
might not notice the first time
around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts
on the planet. My visits to Oslo
are always* "hyggileg" and
"koselig:" warm, pleasant, comfortable and generally lovely.

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

HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK: THE 55 YARD LlfìE
fi nORTH COUriTY HOTSPOT
BEN DEARINGER
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Interested in a place where you
get some great deals on food and
drinks no matter what night of the
week it is? Just drive over to the
historic Old California Restaurant Row, to The 55 Yardline, located within two miles from campus on San Marcos Boulevard.
This local North County bar
and grill has been open since
2003 and is the perfect place to
grab a beer, watch a game, play
some pool or even play some
electronic golf on their classic
Golden Tee arcade game. The 55
Yardline offers a large variety of
breakfast, lunch and dinner options, but the happy hour specials draw in the massive crowds.
Every day, the bar has something for everyone (Sorry, there is
no happy hour on Friday through
Sunday, although the bar still offers drink specials). Happy hour
is offered from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m.,
and the specials range from $2.75
for a pint of a delicious domestic brew on Mondays to $3 for
any Mexican beer on Tuesdays.
Thursday is college night, and it
is, a perfect place to go for those
who are short on cash. They offer any well drink or domestic
draft for only $2.75. But wait,
there's more, The 55 Yardline has
something to offer trivia buffs as
well. Wednesday nights, starting directly after happy hour,
the bar has a trivia competition
that anyone can enter. Play as a
team or individually, it doesn't
matter! The bar offers prizes to
the top three places. First place
receives a $45 gift certificate
for their next visit, second place
receives $25 and third place receives $10. So why not test your
knowledge in categories such as
geography, pop culture, science,
politics and other categories?
Not a trivia whiz? Do not
fret, The 55 Yardline has over 24
TVs and televises almost every
sporting event. This is the place
to be for all your different sport
watching cravings, such as the
NFL's Super Bowl XLV, basketball, soccer or UFC. Make sure
to arrive early because seating
is fairly limited. Sports memorabilia covers the dimly lit sports
bar fromfloorto ceiling and takes
anyone back throughout the history of San Diego sports culture.
So if you are stuck in North
County on a weekday night, you
don't have much cash to spend,
and you are looking for a great
time, head over to The 55 Yardline. Sorry to those of you who are
not 21 yet; staff checks identification at the door as soon as happy
hour begins. Though, you may
still go early to practice shooting pool or to just watch a game.
Located at 1020 W. San
Marcos Blvd., St. 114, San
Marcos, CA 92078. (760) 7441960. Open until 1 a.m. daily.

C S U S M c elebrates
its 2 0th a nniversary
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
Jan. 28-Students, Faculty,
and S taff came together to
celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cal State San Marcos
last Thursday with a special
celebration during U-Hour.
The special event was held
in Craven circle, which was
closed o ff to t raffic for several
hours to allow the festivities to
take place.
The event drew hundreds of
students who lined up for f ree
food and special 20th anniversary memorabilia. San Diego
radio station, 91X, provided
music, entertainment, and even
gave away concert tickets and
other prizes to participating
students. However, the biggest
prizes of the a fternoon were
the two parking passes that two
lucky students won in a r affle.
President Haynes was among
many campus and community
f igures on site to help celebrate
the occasion with students.
"Cal State San Marcos has
evolved into a campus with a
pioneering can-do spirit, committed to building on our role as
a driver of economic, cultural,
and social development for this
entire region we call home,"
said President Haynes. " Thank
you all for j oining in this special kickoff event for Cal State
San Marcos' milestrone year. 1
look forward to seeing you and
celebrating all year our 20th
anniversary."
Vice Mayor of the City of
San Marcos, Hal M artin, was
also present at the event on
behalf of the San Marcos City
Council. Vice Mayor Martin
thanked CSUSM students,
saying, "CSUSM has contributed to the economic growth
and success of our region,
with nearly 90% of its alumni
staying in the region, providing a pool of skilled and tal-
ented workers." Vice Mayor
M artin also recognized the
work students do f or the community, acknowledging the
more than 165,000 community service hours students

W omen's Softball
team makes

Pride Staff Writer
The women's s oftball team
s tarted out the season with a
double-header win over t he
University of R edlands, t he
f inal scores being 6-1, and
4-3.
T his f irst game of the new
season was a m onumental
occasion. It o ccurred on the
new s oftball f ield located
behind the Clarke b uilding.
The a ttendance of t he g ame
was over t riple of last seasons o ff campus g ames. *Vr
Alyssa D ronenburg, who
was r esponsible f or two
h omeruns in the f irst g ame,
t hinks that the new f ield will
help develop the p rogram
f urther, and give the team
more s upport. T his season
she looks forward to beating her b atting stats f rom
last year, as well as w ining a
National Championship with
her t eam.
The new coach f or t he
C ougars, Dave W illiams,
even put in labor and t ractor d riving t ime in order to
get the f ield completed f or
t his season. He said t he f ield
was made p ossible w ith t he
strong b acking of t he U niversity. He believes t he new
f ield will give t he t eam t he
c omfort, and f ans they were
lacking last s eason.
Coach Williams is blessed
with a veteran heavy s quad,
which he believes w ill give
t he team added c onfidence
and composure under pressure. T his d efinitely seemed
the case in the second game,
when the C ougars were down
t hree in t he 5th, and made a
comeback to t ie in t he 6th.
Chanel Rose pitched two
outs, and with b ases loaded,
B renna Sandberg came in
t o get the last out. Together
they held o ff the Redland
Bulldogs to keep t he tie.

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

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

InterVarsity helps Haiti heal

to benefit earthquake victims
and their families in Haiti at the

varsity's benefit show featured
two live student bands, original
artwork and a lively atmosphere
that attracted more than 150
people.
InterVarsity student team
member, Allison Ogllvida, a
freshman at CSUSM, greeted
people at the door and managed
the donation box. "I am just
excited to do something for Haiti
and this is definitely a school
wide turn out," said Ogllivida.
Attendees were encouraged to
make a $10 donation at the door
but the concert was offered at no
charge. "We wanted to not only
send money to Haiti, but also
send our prayers to them."
InterVarsity members also
made an extra effort to generate
more money for Haiti by selling
hand-made hemp prayer bracelets at the door for $5 each. All
donations made will be given to
World Vision to benefit the victims in Haiti in immediate need
and for long-term needs, according to InterVarsity's group Facebook homepage.
InterVarsity grand total for
donations came to $1148 just
barely marking half of their
expected goal.
"We want t o bring life and
hope back to Haiti," said Tyler
Allreb, a member of the administration for InterVarsity. "This
is a chance to stand together with
our brothers in Haiti, we want to
offer our thoughts and prayers to
them."
In between band performances, Becky Jenken presented
her original artwork inspired by
the recent Haiti tragedy. She presented a painting of a tree that's
growth showed pre-earthquake
Haiti images and below the
trees undergrowth of branches
showed post-earthquake images.
She asked the audience to write
words of encouragement on the
her painting that would signify
the tree's roots and the words
would represent the tree's growth
and recovery. The interactive art
piece was followed by a moment
of silence in respect to the lives
lost in Haiti and a prayer for the
survivors.
Not only did this concert generate money for Haiti but also generated awareness. "I j ust heard
about the earthquake today," said
Jesse Sanchez, an InterVarsity
member of the Mira Coast College chapter. "I am really self
motivated to be here, I didn't
make a donation with money,
but I made a donation with my
p rayers"

He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot

President Obama admitted in his State of harder."
He spoke about the introduction of the
the Union address that the devastation from

Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus
Bill, as the plan that has helped get the economy back on its feet by allowing tax cuts and
saving and creating jobs.
President Obama had promised to impose
new financial regulations, according to polifact.com. This bill which, among other things,
would allow the government to intervene in
companies that are failing and will pose a
risk to the economy. This bill has passed the
House of Representatives and is awaiting the
approval of the Senate.
Health Care reform was one of the President's main election promises and he admitted in his address that the country had never
been closer. He said, "After nearly a century
of trying ~ Democratic administrations,
Republican administrations ~ we are closer
than ever to bringing more security to the
lives of so many Americans."
Another election promise involved the
withdrawal of troops from Iraq, "As we take
the fight to al Qaeda, we are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what
I am doing as President. We will have all of
our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of
this August," said President Obama.
He also pledged to increase troop num-
bers in Afghanistan; this is a promise he has
already kept. "And in Afghanistan, we're
increasing our troops and training Afghan
security forces so they can begin to take the
lead in July of 2011, and our troops can begin
to come home," he said during his address.
President Obama has decided to make
the creation of more jobs his top priority in
2010 by creating a new jobs bill. In the 2008
election, Barack Obama received 66% of the
18-29 year old voting bracket, according to
CNN.com.
Jessica Drizin is an avid Democratic supporter, who believes Obama has had a difficult but good first year. She said, "I think
considering the opposition that he has faced
from the far right, he's achieved as much as
he can. I think his policies and ideas will help
America head in the right direction, if we can
get both sides working together."
However not all students are in favor of
Obama.
Scott Silveria, vice chairman of the College
Republicans here at Cal State San Marcos
thinks the country is in a worse state under
Barack Obama than it was a year ago. He said,
"I think he's doing this best he can but I don't
agree with how he's fixing our problems and
the direction he's taking us in."

T HE P RIDE
Superbowl XLIV preview
BY JEFF ECONOMEDIES
Pride Staff Writer
The much anticipated Super
Bowl XLIV will air on February
7, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET live at
Sun Life Stadium in Miami
Gardens, Florida USA. This
year's Championship match
will feature the American
Football Conference Champion
Indianapolis Colts vs. the
National Football Conference
champion New Orleans Saints.
For Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts, the nerves
and intensity leading up to the
big game will be somewhat
familiar considering this will
be their second trip to the Super
bowl in four years. For Drew
Brees and the New Orleans
Saints, however, the Super bowl
is a level of competition the
entire organization has never
experienced.
For the people and city of New
Orleans, life in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina's devastation
has been difficult. This Super
Bowl birth has proven to be
a sign for how well the city
has recovered. A win would
definitely give the city reason for
celebration like never before.
After starting the season 14-0,
the Colts made a controversial
decision to begin to prepare
for the Super Bowl by resting
their starters instead of chasing
to join the legendary company
of the 1972 Dolphins to finish
a perfect, undefeated, season
with a championship. The Colts
are four quarters away from
vindication headed by one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all
time. The Colts also have other
offensive weapons that will make
them a force to be reckoned with.
Most notably these include wide
receiver Reggie Wayne and tight
end Dallas Clark, who has proven
to be a most reliable target for
Manning over the years. Also,
expect a couple of big plays from
Austin Collie, a fourth-round
rookie out of BYU who has been
an outstanding out of the slot and
is coming off of a career-high 123
receiving yards in the Colts AFC
Championship win over the Jets.
Overshadowed by an elite
offense, the Indianapolis Colts
defense is most likely going to
be the biggest X-factor in this
game. Under new defensive
coordinator, Larry Cover, the
Colts have played more effective
one-on-one coverage, mixed up
their zones, and utilized blitzes
efficiently. Gary Bracket, middle
linebacker and team captain will
surely set the tone for keeping the
New Orleans offense in check.
The biggest question mark for
the Colts defense heading into
Sunday will be how effective
Dwight Freeney will be given
his current ankle injury. Being so
quick around the edge this season,
he was capable of accomplishing
13 Vi sacks. Drew Brees and
the New Orleans offense will
definitely benefit if Freeney is
incapable of performing to his
potential.
Drew Brees (4,388 passing
yards, 34 TD, 11 INT this season)
is undoubtedly the heart and soul
of the Saints in this paramount
year for the New Orleans
franchise. In order for the Saints
to be successful this Super Bowl,
they are not only going to need an
all-star performance from Brees,
but are going to need much help
from their running game headed
by Reggie Bush and Pierre
Thomas. Reggie Bush hasn't had
the g r e a / ^ t f f i g i ^ t e
career, but opposing defenses
still fear his big play capability.
Pierre Thomas has totaled over
1,100 all-purpose yards as the
Saints' lead back this year
and you can expect similar
productivity this upcoming
match up. The running game is
going to be necessary in order
to open up the field for Brees
to find his key targets Marques
Colston, Devery Henderson, and
Robert Machem.
My Prediction: The high
octane no huddle offense
headed by the 4-time MVP
Peyton Manning is going to be
too much for the New Orleans
Saints to keep up with. More
importantly, the Colts defense
is considerably superior to the
defenses that the Saints faced
from the Cardinals and Vikings
this post season. Score: 34-27
From SOFTBALL, page 1
In the bottom of the last
f rame Lauren Nelson slid
home to clinch the win for the
Cougars a fter Erica Coelho
drove a single. Coelho also
made several great catches
f rom her third base position
that helped the Cougars attain
that perfect defense which
Coach Williams thought,
along with excellent hitting,
lead the Cougars to victory.
The team faces three consecutive home games on the
f irst weekend of February.
This seems like a g rueling
schedule, but Coach Williams believes that " ...early
in the season, g etting more
games is a healthy t hing
because in p ractice certain situations d on't come
up." From these early games
he hopes to see the m issing pieces in the t eam, and
f ix them in order to p repare
them for Nationals.
I spoke to several students;
most had never attended a
Softball game before for the
school. They believe that
more people will attend now
that the" home field is on
campus.
Travis Wilson, a f irst time
attendee, hopes to come
to all the home games this
season, j ust as long as it does
not impend on h is studies.
Wilson came to the game
to support h is fellow students because he believes
that the schools commuter
school s tereotype needs to
be destroyed in order to build
stronger school spirit. With
more students like Wilson
a ttending games, the team
will receive great s upport, as
well as make other students
r ealize the pride that they
should have for their school,
even if they do commute
there.
Complete effort propels baseball to sweep O regon Tech

Playing on Sunday at Vanguard University, Cougar baseball put forth a total team e ffort
to sweep Oregon Tech. The

to 1-4.
A fter managing j ust one run
in 12 innings against Point
Loma earlier in the week, the
Cougar offense entered Sunday's games with something
to p rove-and did so promptly
by plating five runs in the f irst
inning of game one.
^ a r d o M o r a n was then hit
by a pitch, and Steve Harris
ripped an RBI double to the gap
to extend the lead to 4. Finally,
Ryle Parks knocked a base hit
to center, plating Harris to give
the Cougars a big 5-0 lead.
On the mound, CSUSM
starting pitcher Chris Skaalen
looked very good. He allowed
j ust one run through five
innings before surrendering
a two-run shot in the sixth
and exiting. The bullpen was
excellent, with Eric Julienne,
Johnny Holtman and Spen-

The defense behind those
pitchers was also strong, not
committing an error o v t the
course of the game. Silvett
drove in the team's f inal un

inning.

There is always someone to impress Mycoskie returned to the country

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

raising Hope for Haiti
Reaching out in the wake of massive tragedy

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

com, Starbucks has pledged to
donate $1 million to the Red Cross in
addition to what it is able to collect
from customers at its stores. Bank of
America is also accepting donations
for the Red Cross. Phone companies
are accepting donations via text messages. For example, people can text
"Yele" to 501501 and Wyclef Jean's
Yele Foundation will receive a $5.00
donation, appearing on the patron's

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

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

Sometimes the best place to be is right back where you started. For
those that might remember, I started here as News Editor back in 2007
and moved up to the Managing Editor spot for most of 2008. After
taking a year off to serve as President of the Great Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in 2009,1 was asked to resurrect the News section. It's what I
do best and I couldn't be happier to be get back to where my love for
journalism first came to fruition. I'm eager to shake off the dust and
step back into this exciting and volatile atmosphere so r eadyfor a big
turn around in 2010!
Welcome back! This is my fourth semester as your Business Manager here at The Pride and my last. I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing on
May 15,2010 which is exactly 108 days from now. (not like I'm keeping count or anything) I am married to the guy who has the same last
name as me.. ..hmmm which one of the editors could it be? We have
been married just about 4 months now, it's crazy how time just flies
on by. We have the most awesome dog, Harrison, he's a Westie and for
those of you who don't know what a Westie is.. .well you are definitely
missing out! I am a really compassionate person and enjoy talking
with people...so if you see me around campus say hi. Let me know
what you want to see out of YOUR Student Newspaper because at the
end of the day we are here for you, the students.
My name is Amy and I'm the Editor
in Chief with the lovely Sandra Chalmers for my fifth (yes, fifth) semester at
The Pride. I'm in the second half of my
junior year as a 21-year-old Literature
and Writing major, but I've yet to convince my professors to teach any of
Lawrence Ferlinghetti's work, which
is astounding considering how fantastic the man's poetry is. I like cats,
Qoffee, and cosmology, but hate
driving and leaving voicemails.
And I think listening to (and
. enjoying) Radiohead should
be a law. I also think Ben's
bio is way better than mine.

H elf|l My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am working
closely with my friend Amy Salisbury as we together are the
new Editors in Chief for The Pride Student Newspaper. I
have been working with The Pride since the fall of 2008 as a
staff writer then progressed as an assistant Features editor to
my most recent position as Arts and Entertainment editor last
semester. Writing and journalism is one of my favorite things
along with coffee, muffins and Panera.

This is my sixth semester with The Pride, and if everything
goes well, I will be graduating this spring with a degree in
Literature and Writing. From there I hope to get my teaching
credential and teach high school writing, as well as writing
non-fiction on the side. For now, I look forward to continuing
my weekly column and writing for art and entertainment.* On the more interesting side, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, but
moved here to start college when my dad got a job transfer.
Thus, I have an affinity for chicken wings, or as the locals call
them, just wings. In my free time, I enjoy watching Western
and sci-fifilms,being with my beloved girlfriend of more than
three years, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

2010 from Cal State San Marcos, or something like that. Either way I'm way
stoked. I also work on campus in the IITS department and hope to pursue
a career^in^either doing graphic design (hey don't judge me on my stick
figured t teve other work!), or something in the IT field. Last semester
I got married to Kristina (yes, that one right [well, left] over there) last
semester in October, I also can't wait until we graduate so we can finally
go on our honeymoon! In my free time I enjoy taking random day trips
to various places in So Cal with Kristina and our dog Harrison, going
to Disneyland and playing video games (add me on Live Rudyx760).
This was actually much more than I had anticipated on writing, which is
fine for me, you don't have to keep reading. You could have stopped after
"hello," but thanks for sticking with it. I really enjoy laying out the news
paper, and look forward to doing the last issues. With that said, I am
looking for a replacement, so if you enjoy designing stuff
and at least are fairly familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, email me at pridelayout@gmail.com or stop me
around campus.

C al State S an M arcos Softball: 2 010 season preview
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
Cal State San Marcos softball is coming
home.
For the three years of its existence,
CSUSM softball has played and practiced
at Mission Hills High School. Though the
field is j ust a few minutes f rom campus,
and hundreds of f ans have showed up
for big home games, the team has never
enjoyed a t rue home-field advantage.
Until now.
Head Coach Dave Williams, who
joined the University last summer, made
completing the field on campus his top
priority f rom day one. With help f rom the
Athletics Department and generous contributions f rom parents, companies, and
community members, the long-planned
field was built f rom the ground-up in j ust
a few short months.
Located on campus j ust behind the
Clarke Field House in the University's
large dirt " front yard," the tentativelynamed CSUSM Softball Field will play
host to every softball home game this
year - 24 total games across 12 home
dates, s tarting on January 30th.
As for the team that will call the field
home, Coach Williams is confident that
this year's veteran-heavy squad has the
talent and experience necessary to earn
the program's first trip to Nationals. He
would know - a fter taking over as Head
Coach at Point Loma in 1998, his teams
posted seven 40-win seasons, t hree
50-win seasons, and two NA1A National
Runner-Up finishes. Under Williams,
Point Loma has placed in the top-10 at
Nationals every year since 2001, and took
f ifth last year.
For the Cougars, last year was the program's most successful to date. The squad
went 34-23, earning a trip to the A.I.I.
Conference Tournament and making it all
the way to the finals before being defeated
by the University of Houston - Victoria.
CSUSM finished the season ranked #20
nationally.
While the home game setting will be
entirely different in 2010, Cougar f ans
will recognize most everyone t aking the
field. T hanks to the youth on last year's
team, only two of the squad's sixteen
players are newcomers.
It's no secret that softball starts with

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

The 2009 season for Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer
came to an end on Saturday, as
the squad lost 1-0 in the NAIA
National Championship Opening
Round to Vanguard.
CSUSM finishes the season
with a 10-5-4 record. Vanguard,
the #8 seed nationally, improves
to 13-1-6 and advances to the
NAIA National Championship in
Alabama.
In what was a tightly-contest match that resembled the
one between these two teams in
September, Vanguard's defense
smothered the Cougars' offense,
limiting San Marcos to 3 shots on
the day. Keeper Kaycee Gunion,
the A.I.I. Conference Tournament
MVP, kept CSUSM in the game
by making a season-high 8 saves,
but it wasn't quite enough.
The game's lone goal came in
the 17 minute. San Marcos was
whistled for a hand-ball in the box
to give Vanguard a penalty kick,
and Karri Currier capitalized on
it.

M en's Cross-Country finishes 17th at N ationals
November 21, 2009
Rough, muddy conditions
got to the #4-ranked CSUSM
men's cross-country team at
Saturday's NAIA National
Championships, as the squad
settled for 17 place.
The 8K race, held at Fort
Vancouver in Washington, was
won going away by Malone
College with a team score of
44. Concordia (Neb.) took
second at 166, and Southern
Oregon placed third at 188.
th
CSUSM finished with a total
of 441.
In his first year as a Cougar,
junior Muluken Beressa
earned All-American status
with his performance on Saturday. He finished 21 with a
time of 25:43. The race caps
off what has been a recordsetting debut season for Beressa, who set the school record
in the 8K with his first-place
performance at the Conference Championships.
Second on the team was
Dave Edwards, who took 9 9
with a time of 26:33. The
senior had been coming on
strong throughout the second
half of the season, finishing a
strong third at the Conference
Championships.
Chris Capeau followed
shortly after, placing 116
with a time of 26:39. Next
was freshman Chris Strasheim, who took 171 at 27:06,
and rounding out the team's
top-five was Pat Fitzgerald in
177 at 27:11. Also competing for the Cougars were Bernardo Bahena (238 ; 27:48)
and Casey Evans (264 ;
28:21).
Coach Scott's squad had
higher expectations entering
this meet, but only because the
season has been so successful.
"The guys are disappointed
in the result," noted Coach
Scott. "But I'm so proud of
them for this season."

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

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

and line bottom of foil. Salt and pepper 1 Bag frozen green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic (2 tsp chopped)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
These green beans are so easy to make
and super delicious to boot. I am an
ardent fan of garlic so I will use about
twice what I recommend here. If you
love garlic there can never be too much.
Just don't make these for a first date. I
buy my garlic at Trader Joes and I keep a
jar of pre chopped garlic for convenience
but fresh garlic is just as good. I let the
green beans thaw by running them under
warm water. Shake off excess water and
put in towel to pat dry.
Put the oil in a frying pan and get
it nice and hot on medium-high heat.
When oil just starts to smoke, toss in the
green beans and garlic. Don't stir them
right away. I like them to brown a little
bit. After about 2 minutes, stir beans
around and add salt and pepper. Cook
for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Parmesan. Plate and serve.
relation to what is known of Caananite
cosmogony." He continues his essay "It
was possible for man to enter a covenant
with god under which he could live collectively in social justice and individually in moral responsibility. To this
extent, Israel stands forth as the heir to
the religious history of the preceding
millennium." To extend the questing for
truth further, the entire Historicity of
Jesus has been for centuries a looming
and unanswered question as one can see
in many scholarly texts including "The
Historicity of Jesus" by Shirley Jackson
Case.
But to return from the digression, the
point is that effort is required to either
confirm or debunk the information in
this or any film. That is after all what
every one of us should do with every film
we view that claims as its basis truth or
authority. Only then can we learn, grow
and become more complete in our undei>
standing of the world in which we live.
So if I may be so bold as to highly recommend that everyone see thisfilm.And
yes I know we are all going to revel in
the upcoming winter break. What better
time could there be to take a serious look
at a serious film and then find out where
truth lies, or if purported truth is a lie.
What to See *****
When I suddenly had an unavoidable craving for Pad Thai* I panicked! I
had class at CSUSM and my solid Thai
joints are in Oceanside. I have to give
Kinaly some major props. The server/
owner is a doll and very friendly, very
familiar with her customers. It felt more
like having lunch at your aunt's house
than eating at a restaurant. I love that. I
did not get a spotlight on the "only one"
OMG! I eat alone. 1 know how strange for
a woman to eat alone. The restaurant's
name is Kinaly Thai but the sign out
front simply says "Pad Thai Restaurant."
Side Note: Eating alone is a wonderful
experience. If you have issues with being
self conscious, try it. Please do not eat
alone and talk on your cell phone. This will
rob you of the experience. Texting and cell
phone games are acceptable as well as a
book or iPod. I am married and, you know,
with kids, eating alone is almost a treat.
I digress. I got the tofu veggie Pad Thai.

W hat fo see on DVD
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
After weeks of putting off my daughter's request to see this film, I finally
watched it when she came down to visit
this week. I should know by now that
when she suggests that I should hear,
see or read something it is always a good
recommendation. She is rarely wrong in
her advice, and this film is no exception.
"Zetigeist" This is a documentary film
steeped in controversy and the birthplace
of even more controversy. It is a threepart film that attempts to explain three
different topics, as three separate issues.
The three parts include the origins of
modern monotheistic religion, an explanation of the 9/11 attack on the World
Trade Center, and an explication of how
the masses have become ensnared in
a perpetual debt trap. The material
itself is enough to raise the f ur on the
backs of the necks of many a viewer.
In our open society, with you as openminded viewers, the first order of business is to view the film. The second
and most important part is to do so
with a healthy amount of skepticism.
Another piece to the puzzle with this,
or any other controversial films such as
this, is to allow for the possibility that
what you know to be true, may not be.
Finally, talk to others, research to find
the truth to the best of your ability, and
avoid making any decisions based on
preconceived beliefs. Should a viewer
watch with a closed mind, there is no
chance to expand his mind with new
knowledge.
For a moment, we shall digress from
the movie. The first segment of the film
explores Islamic/Judeo-Christian origins. While most would agree that the
oldest monotheistic religion to spring
forth from the Middle East is Judaism
with Christianity and Islam to follow
later, many would take offense that the
concept that monotheism arose from
earlier religions. Although the movie
focuses on Pagan and Egyptian roots to
the development of a Jesus narrative, we
should come to know that Judaism did
not spring forth directly from the mouth
of God, and thai is arose from earlier
religions. As W.W. Meissner points out
in his paper "Notes on Monotheism:
Origins," the narratives of Genesis 1-11
"are significant in that they bear a close
relation to similar material in Assyrian
and Babylonian tablets, and show little

THE PRIDE
Leonard Cohen
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
The f irst time I encouritered the song "Hallelujah," it
was off the Shrek soundtrack,
sung by the magnificent
R ufus Wainwright. I t's still
one of my all-time favorite
songs nearly a decade later.
To me, the song was perfeet. R ufus's buttery baritone
and the gentle instrumentation were almost t6o good to
be true. But the lyrics—oh,
the lyrics—were beyond anything else I'd heard. In fact,
they're still so unbelievably
poetic, calling the composition a "song" doesn't even
seem fair. And you know how
I feel about poetic music.
The respect I had for R ufus
writing this song grew exponentially once YouTube happened, and a quick search of
"Hallelujah" exposed trie to
hundreds upon hundreds of
1
covers, including the achingly
poignant version by the late
Jeff Buckley. OK; I thought,
people j ust realize "Hallelujah" is indeed an excellent
song, even if it is butchered
on occasion. At some point,
I listened to what I assumed
was Leonard Cohen covering the song. Unfortunately,
as talented as the man is in
poetry (check out "The SpiceBox of Earth"), he j ust isn't
grabbing my attention with
this spoken word thing he has
going on when my dear R ufus
makes the song nearly operatic.
To my surprise, I finally
came across the copyrighted
song credits: words and music
by Leonard Cohen.
Cohen, a writer-turnedmusician, composed "Hallelujah" in 1981 for his 1984

music. And let's be honest
here, Cohen hasn't got the
most melodious set of pipes
in all the land. Even though
the aesthetics of the work left
something to be desired, listeners recognized where the

"One of my tattoos is a picture
of a bow, with the saying T he
greatest gift starts and ends with
family'." In an elegant cursive
script, the black lettering on the
top of her foot is decorated with
a classic red bow just below her
ankle. "I was inspired to get it
because my family means the
world to me and no matter what
happens they will always be the
best part of my life," said Maxwell.
Maxwell got this particular tattoo at the age of 19 and
at a local tattoo shop

"All I have to say is if you're
planning on getting it [tattoo] on
your foot it will hurt!"
Tierra Spence, a junior majoring in Communications holds a
sweet spot for tattoos, a sugared
skull representing both of her
grandmothers sits above her hipbone.
"I have always had a love for
Dia de Los Muertos art and I
wanted something tattooed on
me with that style of art but I also
wanted it to mean something to
me," said Spence.
After finding the perfect
design of a Dia de
Los Muertos
skull done by
a close friend,
she customized
it to a perfect fit
to represent her
grandmothers.
"I
went
through a lot
when they passed
away and one day
I was looking at
drawing my friend
Theresa Lavelle
did for a t-shirt
design of a Day of
the Dead skull and
it was exactly what I
was looking for in a
tattoo," said Spence.
Dia de Los Muertos,
or more commonly recognized as the Day of the Dead,
is a holiday tradition
particular to
Mexican culture

Her tattoo is a classic Day of
the Dead skull done with black
ink and shows only the front
facial features filled in with
small details. On the forehead
of the skull, a heart symbol with
a corner piece missing symbolizes her emotional loss and grievances for her grandmothers.
"I love looking at it and
remembering my grandmothers.
I know that sounds odd, but the
heart just really represents how
much I miss them and that why
it's missing a piece, but it brings
me comfort."
Full of color and action, Alseeandra Uriarte, a senior majoring
in Human Development, got a
tattoo to represent a milestone in

The pistols feature Ted roses surrounding the gun handles and
the red roses also surround the
bottom of the smoky heart.
"I've had a very rough year and
in the midst of all the turmoil, I
lost myself and who I was striving to become, it was not a very
fantastic feeling and I vowed to
never let myself 'die' again," Uriarte said.

but also to the first
decade of our new millennium, according

the moviemakers gave us many
delights. After consideration and
reflection, here's my countdown
of the best ten movies from the
last decade.
To start the list, I am going to
go with an obvious one, Peter
Jackson's
"The Lord of
the
Rings"
trilogy, from
2001-2003.

Next, I skip to 2006 for the
film that finally earned Martin
Scorsese a Best Picture Oscar,
"The Departed." This had a
star-studded cast led by Jack
Nicholson at the top of his game.
The writing was razor sharp
with gripping dialogue. The tension builds beautifully and was

the best cop film in
recent years.
The Coen Brothers also finally picked
up a Best Picture
Oscar with my next
choice, "No Country for Old Men."
This highly controversial and debatable
thriller from 2007
took its audience for an exercise
in nerves. The often silly Coen
Brothers turned up the serious and scored big with this on,
especially with help from Javier
Bardem.
Cidade de Deus, or "City
of God," a
2002 Brazilian film, is my
next choice.
This coming
of age tail,
set in poverty-stricken
Brazil and follows a young
man through
the extreme
lows of his
childhood and
his eventual
escape. Much
like "Slumdog
M illionaire,"
of New Line Cinema this film is
full of grit and heart.
The Pixar side of Disney took
off these last ten years. They
dominated the animated film
industry, picking up most of the
Oscars in this category. Their
most recent film "Up," continued that legacy in 2009. Easily,
it was one of their most serious films, but it was also very
whimsical. The story of an old
man flying off
in his house
using balloons
was stunning
and
heartwarming.
The

hardly

many mainstream foreign
film imports.
Yet in 2001,

came in storming. I have heard
more than one reviewer describe
it as the happiest film ever made.
It is a cheerful tale of a selfless
young woman bringing joy to
her neighbors and friends, and
she happens to find some love
for herself along the way.
Another foreign film that
snuck in was the Korean masterpiece "Oldboy," from 2003.
Director Chan-wook Park wove
a dark tale of revenge in this
mind-bending thriller. It is an
unforgettable story, shot incredibly well, and will leave you
squirming. This under the radar
success is a must-see, especially
before the Steven Spielberg and
Will Smith remake due out soon.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson seems incapable of making
a bad film. In 2007, he showed
his directorial might once again
with "There Will Be Blood."
The first thing that jumps to
mind is the extremely quotable
dialogue, namely, "I drink your
milkshake." But there was much
more to it. Daniel Day-Lewis is
phenomenal in this film and he
draws you into the dark world of
the early oil industry.
My penultimate pick comes
from 2006 and was directed
by Guillermo del Toro. It is the
fantasy titled "El Laberinto del
Fauno," or "Pan's Labyrinth."
This film left me teary-eyed,
on the edge of my seat, with
a
huge
grin. Set
dark yet fantastic world. This is
an incredible film to get lost in
over and over.
My final pick, and thus my
favorite film of the decade was
Disney/Pixar's crown jewel,
" WALL-E." The studio soared
with others hits including "Monsters Inc.," "Finding Nemo,"
and "The Incredibles," but they
nailed this one out of the park.
This sublime film had all the
right elements and is one of
those few films some might consider perfect.
The story of love is entertaining, the look is pure art, and
it is extremely re-watchable.
It had a subtle message about
earth and humanity that become
truer every day. Any film that
can convey so much emotion
through a non-speaking robot
deserves praise. This one did
that, and everything else right,
and that is why I say it's the best
of this decade.
I could go on and list hundreds of must-see movies from
this past decade, and I am sure
others to come, such as "Invictus" or "Avatar" might steal a
place on this list, but these are
the ten I think best represent
quality entertainment and filmmaking. It goes without saying, I
cannot wait to see what the next
ten years has in store.

Study a broad in the LIS
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
I'm back again, giving you
another one of my insights into my
experiences here in America. This
time I thought I would comment
on the differences in how people
get from A to B in Britain and
America. The first, probably most
obvious point I think you would
agree is that here in America you
need a car. This is noticeable to
everyone. If you don't have a car
you think how much you need
one, and if you do have a car you
pray that nothing happens to it.
Being an exchange student, I don't
have a car, so it can sometimes
make me feel restricted in what I
want to do. It can be quite frustrating when you think of something
good to do, but you can't do it, as
there is no way of getting to that
place. If you're lucky, you know
someone that has a car and can thing students need is within 10

noticed the size of the freeways
are a lot bigger here, 6 or 7 lanes is
the average width. It may or may
not be hard to believe but Britain's
motorways (freeways) are only 3
lanes wide.
From my point of view you
don't necessarily need a car in
Britain, especially if you're a student, and the transport system can
be good enough to get you around.
However, you definitely need a
car here in America to get around,
mostly due to the biggest overriding factor: the place is just so big.

Yes, soul searching. And I
d on't mean the kind of soul
searching you do when you've
lost your l eft f oot, blackstrapped stiletto. I mean the
k ind in which time and distance
allows you to truly see who you
are, what you feel, and what you
want out of life, without being
influenced by the social norms
of what you're used to. Aspects
like family, f riends, and a familiar environment tend to influence you to act in a certain way,
most likely because you are
comfortable with it and this is
what you know. But being away
f rom that opens an entire world
of possibilities, new frontiers
of emotion and social behavior
that you might have never experienced before. At the expense
of sounding like A laddin during
the magic carpet flight (which I
hear I bear an uncanny resemblance too [possible j ob candidate at Disneyland maybe?]),
travelling abroad shows you the
world in a physical and metaphorical sense, not only the
world around you but maybe
you yourself.
Personally, being away for
t hese few months have had
some level of impact upon my
character. I feel the extent of
t his can only be measured by
the people that know me best,
but nonetheless, I am still
myself. But I do know that
being away has given me a time
and place to really t hink about
l ife, myself, and those around
me. Gaining some insight into
what I want f rom myself, f rom
others, f uture goals, what I
want out of l ife and love, all
t hese things come to the f orefront of the mind when I 'm
feeling t ruly alone. Searching the mind and r eflecting on
these memories is something
that I c an't help but do. Literally, even to the point where I
stay cooped up in my room and
j ust t hink. T hink about home,
l ife, love, and whatever else
may be on the menu at the local
s elf-reflection bar and grill.
The point I 'm trying to make
is that taking time for selfreflection can happen anywhere.
But when you are away f rom
your expected social behaviors,
actions, and responsibilities, it
allows you to hopefully see who
you really are or if you're j ust
playing some role that many
simply expect f rom you. Take
this time to think ahead, reflect
on your past actions, and come
to terms with them or set them
right. I know that this week's
edition of Abroad in the UK
was a little different and off
the beaten path, but then again,
change happens. I 'm sure I 'll
be back to my normal style of
spewing out the literary equivalent of hitting two bricks against
each other for three hours, but
then again, this j ust shows a
range that can be gained by
reading and interpreting the
metaphorical newspaper of self
(Ok I 'll stop now, all these metaphors are hardly substantiated
to this extent, i t's like I pasted
them on with 3 year glue-stick).

The gift that keeps on giving
Operation Christmas Child at C SUSM
BY JORDAN VERDIN
Pride Staff Writer
Imagine Christmas morning
and you have no g ifts to share,
no happiness. For hundreds of
thousands of children around
the world, this is a cold, hard
reality. Priority Christian Challenge (PCC) is a club on campus
that is involved with "shoebox
ministry," and partners with
Samaritan's Purse Operation
Christmas Child.
Students involved with this
group want to make a difference and change the lives of
these children, hoping to share
the g ift of love and ofjoy by letting children know that there is
someone who does care about
them and the situation they are
in. This activity brings people
from different groups and clubs
together for one cause: to share
the joy and love of the holiday
with needy children.
When Ruth Bran, the director
of PCC and volunteer campus
minister at Cal State San
Marcos, heard about Operation
Christmas Child eight years
ago, she knew this would be the
perfect way to impact others
during the holidays. Students
involved with PCC give joy to
disadvantaged children aged
from t\yo to 14 at Christmastime, and let them know that
they are special.
Cal State San Marcos students put together over 300
shoeboxes, and while the items
within the shoeboxes — toi-
letries, toys crayons, school
supplies, stuffed animals, and
stickers - aren't particularly
expensive^: the g ifts are cherished for a lifetime.
' These shoeboxes might bib*
one of the only g ifts the cfiildfc
will ever receive their entire
life," said Bran. One of the
groups involved is Alpha XI
Delta, a sorority that threw a
party and had several teams rl
bring g ifts and boxes. They collected over 200 boxes at that
event. "Every box will change a
child's life," said Jenny McDonald, treasurer of Priority Christian challenge and sister of
Alpha XI Delta.
CSUSM's international students and the American Language and Culture instate are
also involved with Operation
Christmas Child, and realize
that what they are doing is a
life changing? experience f or
both themselves and the children.
"This is a rewarding experience and it makes me more
appreciative," said Priority
Christian Challenge President
Huy Tu. "It's worth it to see the
smiles on their faces."
It has not always been simple
t o find everything needed to
complete the shoeboxes for the
children. According to Bran,
one of the hardest elements of
the g ifts to find is the empty
shoeboxes needed to pack the
g ifts in. However, several local
shoe stores were able to donate
empty boxes for the cause, and
there were more than enough to
give the gifts to the children.
It is also difficult to get the
word out that this program is
available for CSUSM students
looking for a way to donate
their time to a worthy cause.
This year, there was also a concern that not too many students
would qot be able to afford to
donate g ifts to fill the shoebox.
Still, Bran was happy to share
that even though everyone is
feeling the economic crunch,
both teachers and students came
together to give for the less fortunate.
"We had a great turnout," said
Bran. While students might not
see the f ull impact of their g ift
has on the children, the effects
are immeasurable.
A great example of someone being impacted is Huda, a
female dietitian student f rom
Cal State San Bernardino, a
Jordanian international student.
When she was a child in Jordan,
Huda and her family received
shoeboxes. Upon coming to the
United States, Huda started the
Christian Club at CSUSB and
initiated Operation Christmas
Child last year.
Now CSUSM and CSUSB are
competing to see which campus'
program will bring in more
boxes for the program. While
it's too late to get involved this
year with Operation Christmas
Child, students who would like
to get involved for next year, or
be a part of nonprofit activities,
can help by getting in contact
with Ruth Bran at r22Bran@
yahoo.com, or call her at (760)
583-2381. For more information, they can visit the website

THE PRIDE
C SUSM goes G lobal
Students may now declare G lobal Studies major
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Last month, CSUSM issued
a press release announcing
its plans to establish a new
Global Studies degree. As students may already be aware,
thé Global Studies department,
which offered a Global Studies
minor, was already in existence
prior to this announcement.
Certainly a sign that in spite
of the budget cuts to the CSU
system, CSUSM i s continuing
its growth, the Global Studies department now o ffers students the opportunity to also
major in Global Studies.
"Getting the program started
was largely the work of an
advisory group of faculty f rom
these departments under the
early leadership of Professor
Scott Greenwood who was the
f irst Program Director for the
program," said Global Studies Program Director Patty
Seleski, who is also a professor
of history. "Program development was assisted by a generous Department of Education
Title VI grant which allowed
faculty to put the major
together and to train in interdisciplinary teaching."
The new
interdisciplinary major is built off of
the program's minor
degree
program,
allowing
students to choose
f rom a list of
approved
course s
fr o m
various
departin e n t s
including history,
p olitical
science,
economics, modern
language,
literature and
writing, sociology, women's
studies, and visual
and performing arts.
"Even our local community is l inked t o t he global
c ommunity. In t he 21st c entury,
n ations share problems relat-
ing to s ecurity, h ealth, climate and the economy, among
completed many of t he m ajor
r equirements may also have
i nterest in double m ajoring
to include the Global Studies
major.
Seleski a dvises t hat t here is
a clear d ifference b etween t he
Global Studies m ajor and t he
Global B usiness M anagement
option in the College of Business.
"Although the p rogram does
encourage the whole p rocess
of g lobalization as it involves
the economy, b usiness and
c ommunication, we are also
i nterested in h aving s tudents
t hink about all t he ways in
which the global c ommunity
is i ncreasingly i ntertwined,"
said Seleski.
Even w ith t he new Global
Studies m ajor option now
available, t he Global S tudies
d epartment is s till w orking
t owards e xpanding i ts p rogram even f urther.
"As the p rogram d evelops,
we are p lanning f or i nternship p rograms t hat allow s tudents to work on global i ssues
either in i nternational s etting
or here in San Diego."

COUGARS
CSUSM M en's Soccer falls 1 -0 to Simon Fraser in A .I.I. Championship
November 14, 2009
Cougar men's soccer gave everything it had in the A.I.I. Finals on Saturday, but the spirited e ffort was not
enough to overcome top-seeded Simon
Fraser, as CSUSM fell l-0.The loss
ends what has been an incredibly mem-
orable season for Cal State San Marcos
men's soccer.
Coach Ron P ulvers' senior-heavy
squad got off to a 1-3 start but r efused
to give in, playing their way to an
11-6-1 f inal record and w inning two
post-season matches as the #3 seed.
However,
Simon
Fraser,
the
#3-ranked team in the nation, proved
to be too much Saturday night. The
Cougars hung with them throughout,
actually holding a 7-6 advantage in
shots on goal and a 5-3 lead in corner
kicks. But a Simon Fraser goal in the
75th minute would prove to b e the only
stat that m attered, as the Clan held on
to win the conference title.
"The team played great and provided
a lot of resistence," commented Coach
Pulvers. " This is one of my f avorite
teams I 've ever coached."
Women's Soccer National Championship pairings announced
the second round of the 32-team tourna^
ment, which will take place in Decatur,
Alabama.
CSU San Marcos, who won its second
consecutive Association of Independent
Institutions (A .1.1.) Conference Championship on Saturday, comes in with a
10-4-4 record. At one point the team was
3-4-3, but Coach Ron Pulvers' squad is

Cal State San Marcos women's soccer
will face 8th-seeded Vanguard University in the 2009 NAIA Women's Soccer
National Championship Opening Round.
The opening round game will be
hosted by Vanguard in Costa Mesa on
Saturday, November 21st. The teams will
be competing for the right to advance to
riding an 8-game unbeaten streak.
Vanguard, who defeated Point Loma
on Saturday to win the Golden State Athletic Conference Championship, enters
as the #8 seed in the nation with a 12-1-6
record.
This will be the second time these
teams have met this season. Back on
September 9th, Vanguard traveled to San
Marcos and stifled the Cougar offense to
win a 1-0 decision that saw CSUSM only
put two shots on net.
Of course, the Cougar squad from September was at a very different place than
the one who will take the field this Saturday, so expect a competitive and hardfought contest between these regional
rivals!

BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Try as I might, sometimes I
just cannot escape the looming
nature 6f pop culture. I know
what I like, and most of the time
am able to stick with my books,
my movies, and my music. But
something odd happened this
week.
I listened to the New Moon
soundtrack.
After my initial shock of realizing what I had done, I rechecked
the tracklisting: Death Cab
for Cutie, Grizzly Bear, Thom
Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver,
among others. This couldn't be
the soggy-sweet pop record surely matched
with the Twilight franchise.
Subjectivity aside (irony included), I feel
I should make my ignorance of Twilight
known. I saw the first Twilight movie and
didn't read any of the books, and never had
any intent to see New Moon.
Still, I had the idea that Twilight was
for weird 14-year-olds and weirder people
with vampire fetishes. I do realize that
there are legitimate fans who enjoy the
writing immensely, but that generalization remains among non-fans of the series
(i.e., most males and the oddball girl). But
this record had some serious music on it.
Things just didn't add up, and nothing
explained it.
The real shock here is that Thom Yorke's
track, "Hearing Damage," is exclusive to
the soundtrack. Yorke, along with his band
Radiohead, left their record label and have
essentially released works on their own
terms since. So speculation might lead
the listener to believe Yorke thought New
Moon was relevant enough to be the vehicle

Enjoy a good lunch with some good music
Students can enjoy live music at the
Big Cat Food Court this Wednesday from
12-lpm outside under the patio shade.
Called "Radical Tunes," the Big Cat Food
Court and Cougar Shops have started a new
tradition to offer live music for students to
enjoy while eating their lunch.
"We want to further develop a fun and
exciting atmosphere at the Big Cat Food Court
and support "Student Life" on campus," said
Tipper Philips, marketing specialist for the
University Auxiliary and Research Services
Corporations (UARSC). "Having good
music with good food and drink is an outstanding opportunity to improve the environment in the Big Cat Food Court."
Having two prior performances, Philips says it's a new tradition that is still in
its early stages of development. "We just
started this and are feeling out the interest
level."
With the office of Global studies offering international week at CSÜSM Nov
16-19, the Big Cat Food Court celebrates it
its own way by featuring a different international menu item each day. Flavors from
around the world are offered to students for
a chance to taste recipes from overseas and

for his individual track release.
Bon Iver, one of the newest staples to
indie music, appears with an achingly
beautiful track called "Rosyln." Endlessly successful band The Killers offer
"A White Demon Lover," a song reflecting more of their first album's style that
took them so far. Even Lupe Fiasco makes
an appearance with "Solar Midnite," an
unusual song befitting the general tone of
the soundtrack.
I figure you can make one of two
conclusions about this: all these artists
subjected themselves to the world of
the Twilight cultural phenomenon just
because they coliid, or th¥y took advan-*
tage of Twilight's success to get their
music heard by people outside their fanbase. Or, music editors Charles Martin
Inouye and Gerard McCann just liked
these songs as much as I did and found
they fit great with the cinematography.
Whatever the case, the soundtrack is a
serious success, exactly the complement
expected for New Moon.

Faces & Places
Registration delays have students and faculty worried
ieet the Professor
mfalMÄWMi
BY MATT LEWIS
Faces & Places Editor
I Sports

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

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

Advertising circus a i the cinema
BY BILL R HEIN
Senior Staff Writer
When I go t o see
a movie in theaters,
I stick to the cheaper
matinees or Monday or
Tuesday nights, when
t he local Edward's
Theaters have $1 popcorn or candy. But this
past Friday, I wanted to go out for dinner
and a movie with my better half.
Since we got out of dinner earlier than
expected, we got to the show very early.
That gave us enough time to see t he j ungle
t hat in Friday night at the cinema. Usually,
the amount of flashing lights and advertisements on a normal night is overwhelming. But when we went, it was startling to
see all that was going on inside the lobby.
We were attacked by men in black shirts
asking u s to take surveys about
television. And people f rom
H P were begging us to t ry
their new printers.
Both o ffering
p rizes
wanting personal information. Since
we were early, we humored them and
checked them out.
On one hand, it gave us something
t o do while we waited t o get in to our
theater. But I can imagine it would be
frustrating to work past this crowd of
advertisers to get to your seat. And in a
way, it made me sad to see the cinema
"pimping" out its lobby space.
In the big picture, I know it is not
a big deal. It is j ust a little unsettling
to consider how these people have the
audacity to be so in-you-face, and how
susceptible the general population is to
this media.
I understand the cinema is not f ree
f rom advertising and product placement,
but this seemed really out of place. This
was j ust one of those moments I stepped
back to see that I have been affected by
advertising. N o matter how much we
like to think we are above it,
advertising has changed
our world, and continues to invade.

Interview with LTWR professor Heidi Breuer
BY J ESSENIALUA
Pride? S ta!f^riter
V^i^ '
I f anyone h as t aken a Literature and Writing class with P rofessor Heidi Breuer, i t's easy
t o see t he passion she h as for
t eaching and for her students.
The Pride recently had the privilege t o sit down with Professor
Breuer to ask her a few questions.
Pride: When was your first
semester at CSUSM?
Breuer: I s tarted CSUSM in
t he f all of 2007.
Pride:
Before
C SUSM,
where did you teach?
Breuer: I taught at Wright
State University in Dayton,
Ohio f rom 2003 t o 2007.
Pride: Where did you get
your Bachelors?
Breuer: 1 got my bachelors at
a school called Florida Southern College in 1994. I a ctually
double majored in Biology and
English. I originally wanted to
be a Veterinarian but t hroughout my Biology degree I learned
that I 'm squeamish and that I
d on't like hospitals. So then I
continued with English. I got
my masters in English at Florida
State University and my PhD at
the University of A rizona.
Pride: When did you start
teaching?
Breuer: I s tarted t eaching
t wo classes a semester when
I s tarted t he m asters p rogram
u p u ntil I received my PhD. I
was mostly t eaching composition but I also got t o teach some
l iterature classes. But I 've been
t eaching a total of f ourteen
y ears.

Pride: How do you feel
that got m e really fired u p about
being a teacher?

I d on't remember exactly why really liked what CSUSM had

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

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

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

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

Pride Staff Writer
How does one present movies
filled with sadness and make them
desirable to see? Perhaps by trying
to lode at the silver lining and these
films contain that silver lining, but
I'll leave it to you to find them
This wedi, these threefilmswould
be difficult to categorize other than
to say they are excellent. Although
they share sadness, they diverge in
many other ways. Some believe that
to truly appreciate joy one must truly
experience sorrow. So if you want to
watch some movies to get you happy,
here we go.
"Yesterday" is a story about the
title character, a South African
woman, and her struggles to get by
in a remote village. By our standards
of living, her standard is poor at best,
but we should seefromher strength
and joyous outlook on life, that
maybe her standard of living is not
poor in contrast to ours, only different She hasayoung daughter named
Beauty and a husband who works
far away in a mine to support the

at AIDS and HIV in South Africa
and provides what seems an honest,
albeit harsh, look at the problem. All
aspects of this film excel, from the
screenplay to the acting, cinematography, to the story itself. There are
no weak points to this film. For that
reason, it is well worth watching, but

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

Way,
Watch out the Tea Party Express is abouti
Money Management
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride S taff Writer
Depending on whom you are and
how much you keep track ofthe news
and politics, you may have heard that
the Tea Party Express arrived in San
Diego last Sunday at Tuna Harbor
Park. The movement hits 38 cities
in 17 different states, starting in San
Diego, California and eventually
ending u pjn Orlando, Florida three
weeks later. Other states being visited include Alabama, Louisiana and
most notably Texas, which has the
most stops on the schedule with 7.
As t heJgsy|8B was in S p Diego
I fektisfe^v^inldeal opportunity to
invest^gate j ust w ^at the Tea jfearty
Express supportirs were actually
protesting a bout Upon arriving I
sdw ffaeq? was j£&rowd gathering,
m ^ y holding t iigns expressing
their views. "Just Say No to the O,"
"Socialists are just thieves with an
education," "Obama don't attack
our freedom of Xpression, What are
you afraid of, the truth?" I decided
to interview a few local residents
about why they were at the protest
and what they thought of their President of the United States. One man
said, "I stood up against communism when I was in the Navy and
now they're in the White House."
Ha^was worried about his grandchildren and their future ifthe country continued the way he thought
it was going. He also talked about
his views on health care, he said,
"It's not about giving health care,
it's about controlling the people."
_
Another protestor shared similar views, she said, "It's a move
towards socialism, taking over
the health care system, appointing tsars. We need to reform the
health care system, not replace i t"
When asked about their
thoughts on Obama they seem to
respond negatively towards the
President, one man said, "He's
pathetic. He's put all the tsars in
the white house, he starting out
with socialism. If he gets a second
term the country will be in a hell
of a situation." Other pvrotestors
went further, "He's completely
t akingthe country in the wrong
direction. He's not done anything.
He's j us|a PR figmen^a persona,
a celeBnty ^ i d e n t " % said onewoman. One protestor had a difr;
ferent insight O Obama, he said,
Q
"Would you I k your 16 year old
daughter learn to drive in your
$100,000 Mercedes?" I replied
no, he then said* "Well that is like
what Obama is doing with this
country; he?s learning to drive
with this country.- That had t o Be
the best quote that I got during the
day. He also said, ¿"He's buying
people, buying the public, with
peanuts."
As a writer and an exchange student I am trying to remain impartial, but you, the reader, can look at
the protestors' comments and form
your own opinion. Do you think
these people have a point? Or are
they completely wrong? Do you
think that Obama is taking America into a brighter future?

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

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

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor In Chief
On weekend nights, the doors at
SOMA open to fans of a range of
musical acts from the more mainstream such as Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At the Disco, and
Thrice to up-and-coming acts like
Forever the Sickest Kids and Boys
Like Girls. For local bands, getting
the opportunity to perform at this
hidden venue located across from
the San Diego Sports Arena is a
big step upfromjam sessions in the
garage. This Friday, Oct. 23, two of
CSUSM's very,own will perform
with the rest oftheir band, Trains and
Clouds, as the headliners at SOMA'S
next show.
The band's current four-man roster
includes CSUSM's Philip "Felipe"
Macias on guitar and Ben RofTee on
bass, with locals Drew "Drewski"
Carillo on drums and Jonny Paine
on piano and vocals.
Trains and Clouds originated back
in 2007 when current members,
Carillo and Paine, teamed up with
two other long-time friends, Isaac
Zagunis and Olin Brown. With the
band formation complete, they went
straight into writing music, developing a distinct sound. In typical fashion, however, the group had yet to
come up with a name.
During a brainstorming session,
one member asked the others what
they each liked doing.
"One of us said 'Stare into the
clouds,' while another answered, 'I
like to think and gather my thoughts
on trainrides,'so we put two and two
together and came up with Trains
and Clouds' representing thought or
the thinking process," said Carillo.
Shortly after the band began performing at venues such as SOMA,
Zagunis and Brown opted out of the
band. Remaining members, Carillo
and Paine, later added Macias and
RofFee to the revised group.
"When Jon told me that Trains and
Clouds was looking for a bassist, I
asked them if I could try out,"
said Roffee. "I didn't have any
real experience as a bassist
and only very minimal
bass equipment
but things went well and the rest, as
they say, is history."
Though Trains and Clouds' Facebook page categories the band into
the Indie/Alternative/Pop genre, the
band members themselves are hesitant to define their sound.
"I would describe the sound of
Trains and Clouds as a mixture
of themes rather than a handful
of genres. To me, genres are silly
because they are often times pinned
to a certain lifestyle or counterculture," said Macias. "When that happens, fens seem to alienate themselvesfromgenres of music because
„theyiJon^
associated with those who do look
the part"
As a guitarist, Macias' technical influences include John Mayer,
Jesse Barrera (My American Heart),
Justin Shekoski (Saosin), and Jonathan Paine.
"In our music, there is a synthesis
of a lot of different influences into
something that is straightforward and
relentlessly melodic. We're not some
forcefully abstract, self-professed
'experimental' pretentious indie rock

the way we write and it seems like a
lot of people have an easy time connecting to our music. We make no
apologies for ambiguities in describing our music, there is so much more
explained in the process of discovering it than we could ever try to iterate
in words."
This emerging band, with tracks
such as "Oh Sailor" and "Sketch
Alley Memorial," promises to show
the crowd a good time this Friday.
"Our music is for everybody.
We try to create music for all age
groups and tunes that people want
to hear over again," says Macias.
"The songs we write together are
our favorite songs, so it's even more
enjoyable when we can share them
with an audience."

which everyone f rom surveyors to police officers utilize to

As exciting as this is on a
purely f un level for video
games, it also harkens to science fiction horror. The actual
device looks eerily similar to
HAL9000, the homicidal and
psychotic computer system
from the Stanley Kubrick
film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." Or if this got combined
with robots we may find ourselves in the apocalyptic
world prescribed by the "Terminator" series.
Yet nothing about this
device is scarier than the idea
of the government using it to

George Orwell's "1984."
For now, I am counting
down until Project Natal hits

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

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

October 13, 2009
CSUSM women's golf finished out play at the Aztec
Fall Classic with a strong team
round on Tuesday, finishing J t h

The two-round tournament,
which was hosted by San Diego

in Chula Vista, featured six
NCAA schools and the Cougars. Playing with j ust four
players, the Cougars shot a
team round of 339 on Tuesday,
four shots better than Monday's
343, for a total of 682. Cal State
Northridge won the event with a
team total of 595.
Leading the way for CSUSM
was once again Stephanie Cole.
The sophomore shot 80 on Tuesday a fter Monday's 79, giving
her a final score of +15 (189),
good for 18th place in the field.
Second on the team was
Ellyse Siu, who shot back-toback 81's to finish tied for 19th
with a 162. Roxanne Mejia shot
85-82 to tie for 25th, and Jennifer Conway shot 98-96 to finish
40th.
Northridge's Ashlee Nagamine won the individual competition with a score of 146.

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

The win improves t he Cougars to 8-5 on the year. La

Karen O and the Kids
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
Where the Wild Things Are
came to theatres last Friday, Oct.
16. Unlike many people I know,
I'm very impartial to the new film.
Luckily, talking about the movie is
not necessary when talking about
the soundtrack.
I might need to talk about it a
little bit though, seeing as how
this adaptation of a nearly 50-yearold, ten sentence book is a sort of
magnet for indie culture.
That would be a groundless
assumption if it weren't for the
music. Karen O of Yeah Yeah
Yeahs wrote the majority of the
soundtrack. Spike Jonze, her
former boyfriend, directed the film
and commissioned her to write a
soundtrack that reflected the innocent, yet distantly dark tone that,
according to Jonze, he wanted to
achieve.
The band Karen O put together,
Karen O and the Kids, includes
Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence of
The Dead Weather, Greg Kurstin of
The Bird and the Bee, Yeah Yeah
Yeahs bandmates Brian Chase and

Aaron Hemphill of Liars.
I don't think you need me to tell
you this is an epic record. Now, I
haven't actually seen the movie, so
I unfortunately can't explain how it
contributed to the film's message
or atmosphere or anything like
that. Unlike many soundtracks,
this one is able to stand alone as
what might as well be Karen O and
the Kids' debut album (that's code
for "I hope they end up making
another one").
The first single of the 14-track
album, "All is Love," was digitally released at the end of August,
while the album didn't drop until
nearly a month later. The feel of
the music is not entirely different from anything any of these
artists have released before, but
it does have a certain vulnerability absent from the more in-yourface Karen O style.
Karen O does most of the lead
vocals that double and triple over
more subtle male voices. Though
riddled with tambourines and
animalistic screams, the songs
are focused enough to produce a
successful series of fresh tracks.
In a perfect world, Karen O
and the Kids will keep making
music like what they've made
here without the incentive of
backing a major motion picture.
Until that world is realized, these
wild tunes will help your imagination bridge the proverbial gap.

It's time to fight the thirteen-unit restriction
see the injustice of t his situation. We are p aying more,
and getting less. If the school
is not going t o stick to these
goals, maybe it is time to
reevaluate them and be honest
about the fact that the student,
the teacher, and the quality of
education are not a priority.
The email o ffhandedly mentions that this is supposed to
help classes. But t his is only a
t emporary solution to a growing problem. When I was a
f reshman, I did not sign up f or
these cutbacks or expect that
my campus would so easily
discard my desire to l earn.
On the CSUSM homepage,
our school claims to b e "Roaring into Our 20s." T his must
be some kind of j oke. Sure,
i t's a milestone, but t here is
not much t o celebrate if a fter
twenty years the school is cutting back on student p rogress.
Now is the t ime to get
involved and make s omething
happen f or the better. It is t ime
to ask of our elected ASI o fficials t o f ight for the s tudents,
like they promised us d uring
the elections. Every person
can get involved by signing up
at www.savecsusm.org, where
we can rally together to show
that we care.
If we let these l imits walk
all over us, it is going t o keep
happening. Those behind them
are going to keep cutting back
because they know they can.
It is t ime to get our heads out
of the sand. We cannot be the
change our f uture needs if we
cannot get a decent education.
you can do, two things, either or
both of which will definitely make
you a happier person and each of
which take very little time.
First, keep a gratitude journal. A couple of times each week
(put these on your weekly calendar), take two minutes and write
down 5 things that you feel grateful for at that moment. They can
be anything from thè most trivial
(like this weather or that bagel),
to your feelings about the people
who have loved you, to your deepest feelings about God or nature.
Write down 5 things, and as you
do, try to actually feel the sense
of good fortune and gratitude for
each of them. That's it! Simple!
Second, if you want to try something really powerful, think of one
person that you feel very grateful to for being in your life, now
or in the past. Write a one-page
letter to that person, thanking the
person for what s/he has meant
And when you do think about to you. Tell him/her specifically
these things, and try to picture that why you feel grateful to him/her
person or thing vividly, you might and how lucky or blessed you feel
also notice a good feeling visiting for his/her presence in your life

depended on the world.
into it, even if it feels "corny" or
So here's what the research says "lame." Then, at some point if
you can possibly do so, read the
letter out loud to that person. If
you can't do it face to face, do it
on the phone. Guarantee: you will
both feel wonderful!
So there you go, two simple
exercises. Try either one or both.
Amazingly, even doing a gratitude
journal entry a couple of times a
week will, I'm positive, make you
a happier person.
Counseling Services here at Cal
State are available to all students
at no charge. You don't have to
have a 'mental illness' to see us.
Many students come when they
are struggling with the common
stresses of college life, especially
when these are 'getting in the
way'. Many students use our services as an opportunity to learn
more about themselves and grow
as people. Confidential conversations with a professional can be
a special opportunity to be completely honest with yourself with
someone who won't judge you and
who will strive to support your
happiness and success. If you
would like to make an appointment, call 750-4910.

BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Adults have always
told me the youth are
the f uture. Yet once
again, the campus
wronged the students. The f urloughs
and tuition hikes
were not enough
I suppose, and I am l eft to
wonder what kind of f uture is
being set up for us.
On October 6 ,1 got an email
i nforming me that I will only
b e able to apply for 13-units
this spring. So, despite the
extra $624 we all had to pay,
and the cutbacks made in
class time, we have to bear
the burden of a f ailing economy by letting our education
s uffer.
The only thing more distressing than these cutbacks
is the lack of outcry I have
seen f rom students. Unless I
was the only person emailed,
I cannot f ind a reason why
we as a student body have not
done anything to change this.
If you are on the fence or not
sure of what is going on, now
is the t ime to get f ired up.

general and expected goals
of a university. Though the
website lists " Community"
and "Inclusiveness," we as a

chance to chime in on t his

made it. " Integrity" is on the
list as well, yet I can plainly

on gratitude indicates can make
you happier.
By gratitude, I mean thinking about the things that you are
thankful for, and having the feelings that go with this. In what
ways do you feel lucky or blessed
right now, as you consider life at
this moment? Does that question
make you notice the gorgeous,
cool fall sky? Or how good that
bagel tastes? Or maybe that you
have an amazing partner that loves
you? Or how generous a parent or
teacher have been and how their
generosity or inspiration made
it possible for you to be standing
here, getting a college education?
Or how skilled that physician was
for doing the surgery so competently? You might feel grateful
for any of a vast number of things
at any moment, if you stop and ask
yourself to think about it.

THE PRIDE
Campus holds celebration for sponsors of
new Social and Behavioral Sciences building
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 24, 2009, local dignitaries and campus benefactors-gathered in the framework
of what will be the new Social
and Behavioral Sciences building to sign a decorative beam.
Vice President of University Advancement, Neal Hoss,
thanked the signers for their
contributions and said that the
beam "will be on permanent
display" in the building once
construction is complete.
Karen Haynes, University
President said, "It is particu-
larly noteworthy that even in
these d ifficult fiscal times,
we were able to convince our
system to provide us through
the bond money with f unding
to move this project forward."
Both speakers mentioned
the need for more f unding as
well as describing the honor
roll and naming o pportunities within the building for all
sponsors.
Vivian Bennett represented
the Social and Behavioral Sciences Faculty. She said faculty
in her department "empower
citizens by teaching them critical thinking about the common
good," and a new building for
them will benefit the campus
and surrounding community.
Chris Devers, chairman of
the Pauma Band of Luiseno
Indians, reminded attendees,
"This i s Luiseno land," and
he hoped the building would

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

technical skill, his innovative
approach toward classical music
bridges the musical generation
gap between the 19th and 21st
centuries.
Still can't handle heavy classi-
cal music? Check out his version
of "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
off his 2005 release Goulash.

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

THE PRIDE
O verflow at ' Meaning in M otion' dance presentation
BY BLAINE HMOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
In Arts building room 111 on
Wednesday evening, the room
filled quickly as throngs of
impatient attendees jostled to get
a prized red ticket for a chance
to get seating in the main auditorium. Forethought and planning
resulted in a relatively orderly
beginning to the evening, as
those in charge had set up
a viewing room for
those not fortunate enough to
get into the main
room. The overflow room offered
the presentation via
closed circuit television.
Dr.
Jonathan
S. Marion, an
on campus professor
of Anthropology, presented
the event, "Meanings in
Motion." Dr. Marion's focus
is on Visual Anthropology as it
applies to Ballroom dance. He
is no mere scientific observer,
he is also an enthusiastic participant. One might wonder i f
such a deep involvement in the
field one studies might cloud scientific judgment, but in the case
of Dr. Marion, this involvement
leads to a deeper insight
and better understanding of the subject at
hand rather than
conflict.
Dr. Marion is
easy to spot on
campus with his uptempo stride, short ponytail and neatly trimmed
doorknocker
facial
hairstyle. He is very
approachable, knowledgeable, and dare I say
stylish. On this evening he
brought everything he had
t o the presentation along
with a mild nervous swaying
during the presentation.

Dagnabit Productions brings musical comedy to life at CSUSM
BY DIANA VALDI VIA
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you
put together Dagnabit Productions and a musical comedy
script? You get an excellent
p erformance that is d efinitely
worth $10 dollars.
Dagnabit Productions is
a new student organization
here at Cal State who last year
started as a g uerrilla t heatre
group. Now this year they are
ready t o bring many t hings to
CSUSM. They are currently
in the process of becoming a
f ully recognized student organization whose goals include
to bring formal p erformances,
build a community for students who are interested in
any aspects of theater and help
the theater program in school.
"The P ride" had a chance
t o interview the director for
Dagnabit Productions' current play, Arielle Rosenbaum,
who explained what Dagnabit
is all about. Rosenbaum said,

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

N ative plant presentation packs auditorium
BY BLAINE HMOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It was standing room only
in A rts 111 on the evening of
Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen
to a p resentation on the u ses of
indigenous and endemic plant
species. This p resentation
was j ust another class session
for t hose in P rofessor S mall's
VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World
C ultures. But many of t hose
f illing t he room t his evening
were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the
n ative peoples with whom we
share t his land today.
Those a ttending sought to
c onnect with those who have
been the k eepers of t his land
f or m illennia prior to t he
a rrival of Western peoples.
The t itle of the p resentation,
" Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern
C alifornia I ndians," may have
led one to expect a very d ry
c ollegiate discussion of plant,
genus and species followed by
d etails of the plants f unctions
among Southern C alifornia
N ative Indian Tribes.
Anyone a ttending with "the
expectation to receive such
a s cientifically e nlightening
e xperience would have come
away very d isappointed. For
anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was
a delight.
The p rofessor delivered the
p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by
c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a
Luiseno basket weaver who
teaches basket weaving on the
Pechanga r eservation at the
Pechanga
C Mmmakilawish
School. It was a sentimental
j ourney back in t ime to re-visit
the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few
side t rips t o d iscuss some of
the other u seful plant species
in the area. Vassar brought j oy
and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on
the s pecific plant applications
than she did on the e ssential
and h armonious c o-existence
between the p lants and the
indigenous people. Her mother
was in the audience f or the
evening and also c ontributed
some of h er wisdom t o t he
conversation.
In her s torytelling it was
clear that m odern society was
i mpacting the local t ribes,
and l ocal p lants, both in a less
than positive m anner. But the
stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he
knowledge of her own t ribes
basket weaving had been lost,
and was now being r eborn
through the g uidance of elders
among other t ribes. She is
clearly p assionate about basket
weaving, and her enthusiasm
to inspire and guide a new
generation of basket weavers
is u nbounded. Basket weaving
locally d epends on the Juncus
p lant, a g rass species whose
population is being t hreatened
by non-native invasive species
such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter
into t he equation of collecting
m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional,
but a re also in t heir own right
g reat works of a rt.
Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus
t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown
stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison
oak w ithin the r eeds of the
J uncus p lant; Vassar described
methods" she used to p rotect
h erself f rom the vicious bite
of t he poison oak oil as she
h arvested plants for her c raft.
A lso t hroughout history, t here
have been no b oundaries to
c ollecting plant?, and today
f ences and b orders impinge on
the t radition i tself. A s the local
t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir
old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s
who have c reated physical and
s piritual b arriers can c reate
new pathways to bridge these
t wo c ultures t ogether in living
harmony.
Perhaps the best way to
d escribe the event was a s an
i ntercultural conversation, as
r eminiscence to old ways, and
an introduction for those who
were unaware that t here are
ways to e xperience l ife's great
j oy without the relentless pur-
suit of m onetary and m aterial
r ewards. Spending t he e vening
l istening and c onnecting was
c ertainly a reward in i tself.

S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents
THE PRIDE
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
My name is James Roche. I'm a
student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm
here at Cal State San Marcos on
a yearlong exchange program.
Anyone heard of the English city
of York? Don't worry, you're not
the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away
from London. So being from the
north of E ngla^, the opportunity
to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down.
For most international students
thinking about, studying abroad,
California is theprime choice; the
sun, sand and sea on your doorstep
everyday is a dream come true!
I arrived. here a couple of
weeks earlier than I was required
to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy
the place before the classes
started. Once those two weeks
were up I had to move into the
University Village Apartments,
which was a bit strange initially
for me as everyone at university
in England has their own room.
I think I've been lucky because I
get along with my roommate and
the other guys in my apartment.
This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get
along with someone who you will
be living in the same room for the
next six months to a year. The
people that I have met out here
have been nice and welcoming,
and I already knew a few people
before I came across the pond.
This is due to them coming to
my university in England on an
exchange program. This is also
how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent
seems to be a nice thing to have
here as it's an easy way to start up
a conversation and most people
seem to like it.
I'm taking Mass Media classes
here and have found them quite
interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for
example we recently talked about
American Idol and it was nice to
mention that Britain had the idea
for that show first! The budget
crisis was a serious shock to me
though as I was not made aware
anything like this could happen
when I applied to CSUSM. I
have had one class cancelled
already which was both worrying and annoying at the same
time. I was also astounded at
the amount of books you have
to buy and the cost, although
speaking to a few people I
think I've been lucky with my
course. I think I'll struggle to
get used to a few things. For
example, why does football
have to be soccer here? That
hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as
ping pong. I know they're the
same thing but it's my English
pride that takes the hit saying
it differently. However, with all
the differences, CSUSM seems
like a great place to come to
and I think I'm going to have a
great year!

O
a nd culture shock
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
Who'd have thought
after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits,
that I wouldn't understand a good majority
of local sayings? It's
simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food
Market (like Cougar Corner, only
British) to pick up a loaf of bread
and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I
follow up with an immediate thank
you only to have the person on the
other side of the register reply with
"cheers." No, we weren't toasting
to my purchase with a large pint of
Guinness, this is a local expression
for "thank you" and/or "have a nice
day."
Everywhere I go this is said
along with varying other says that
I seem to slowly pick up, like the
fact that frenchfriesare known as
chips, then what are Doritos know
as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically
change depending on where you
are in the world and how you're
perceived. I know I got some
strange look when I said "fanny
pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And
with that comes the realization of
culture shock—the idea of being
in a new and foreign place where
things as little as words could
mean completely the opposite. But
it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are
one that will help throughout the
rest of the time living in said coun-
try and it's definitely
something to take back
home.
Speaking of taking
things back home,
accents! They're sexy,
different, and above
all, just plain awesome!
Going to class every
other day puts you at
the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my
dream would be to come sounding
like Daniel Craig or something.
And along with the culture shock,
comes the fact that I myself didn't
know that I had an accent apparently.
According to locals, I'm the one
with the American accent, and
somehow they can pinpoint that
I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply
something that I never thought
about, here I was ready to go to the
UK and gain an accent for myself.
All the while, people already in the
UK were prepping to hear accents
from varying countries, including
theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that
even though almost every country
contains people, buildings, roads,
we're all essentially the same.
We are people, united under the
banner of Homo sapiens. But we
should all strive to learn from the
cultures of others to influence and
better ourselves. So, I propose a
trade, how about the UK brings
over a Chipotle franchise here to
understand the deliciousness of it
(I'm dying for a burrito STAT!).
And in return, America will create
a method to gain cool British and
phrases to better understand our
friends across the pond. Deal?

The proverbial "bubble" is the
newest form of international criticism toward American people.
You've heard of it: the idea that
Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends
beyond our collective ignorance
concerning world politics and
events. It also controls even our
pop cultural preferences. Of
course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its
inhabitants to some degree.
The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles
from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia.
The problem is, the greater part of
international musicians that are
established in America are the
ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes
much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest
and most powerful record labels
currently call the States home.
Seeing as how artists like
Mariah Carey hog even the World
Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international
musicians is to do just that: hunt.
I offer the following artists under
the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an
American as well and can only go
as far as the Internet may take me.
Onward, I say!
Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the
success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer
and producer Allah Rakha "A.R."
Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native
India before "Jai Ho" came to the
States. He's worked with several
Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn
out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as
well as in Indian communities in
Europe.
Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna
Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop
singer of Russian origin. She
gained popularity throughout the
90s and early 2000s with the rise
in mainstream Anime interest,
and the majority of her fanbase is
still in Japan. The language Origa
sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than
one language in the same song.
Though she is no longer an active
artist in Russian, the Japanese still
can't get enough.
Polish music culture is unusual
because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the
charts. Rather, Poland has a huge
death metal scene, with the band
Vader at the forefront. As you'd
imagine, the band took their name
from the Star Wars series, and
their style certainly reflects the
character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the
THE P RIDE

Czech Republic, Vader satiates
their fans' desire for the best death
metal in Eastern Europe.
For over 25 years, Egyptian
musician Amr Diab released and
continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's
smashed album sales records
throughout the Middle East and is
as loved today as in the mid-80s
when he first came to prominence.
His dance-style music crosses
over to places including Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia,
and is considered the favorite of
all Arab pop singers.
The planet is a big place, and the
musical world is even larger. Each
of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and
reasons for why its people enjoy
the music they do. Language is
an understandable barrier, but the
love of music is unanimous.
A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Knowing a successful author
brings reality to the forefront and is
no longer a distant hypothetical for
aspiring student writers on campus.
The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's
Clarke Field House in the Grand
Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was
a grand evening filled with buzz
and excitement.
Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely
published author with work ranging
from poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
The National Critics Circle Fiction
Award in 1993 nominated Martin
for "The Gothic Twilight." His most
recent collection is "The Possibility
of Music." He graduated from New
York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection
"Changing the Subject," will debut
in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press.
Professor Mark Wallace started
the literary series on campus and
over the years brought real world
experience to the academic scene.
His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and
discuss published work with the
authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had
attended the event as a required
assignment. However, she said, "I
would have come even if it wasn't
an assignment, because [Martin] is
a great writer and I can learn something from him."
The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent
and preconceived notions. He read
a story inspired by illegal whaling
practices and by Herman Melville's «
Moby Dick. He forewarned us
about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals
for their own self-serving.
Student Jeannine Clark' had
mixed feelings on this aspect of
on Martin's writing. She said,
"Stephen-Paul Martin obviously
is a very compassionate man with
a big heart for animals. At times
though, I felt like he had an agenda
to push and that got in the way of
the writing for me." She followed
by adding, "I do think the reading
series is important for literature and
writing students so that we get the
chance to see contemporary writers
read and discuss their work." ;
Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis.
Last year there were three Literary
Series events. This semester there
will only be two events not because
of lack of demand but because of
lack of funding.
"It's like they cut the things that
help us most. I'm here because I
want to be a good writer. Who else
can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying
for?" said student Rachel Busnardo.

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

On Aug. 27, 2009, while Cal
State University San Marcos'
President
Karen
Haynes
addressed canipu$ staff and
faculty at the university convocation, the California Faculty
Association held an alternative
convocation to address key concerns faculty had in regard to the
effects of budget cuts. The' alternative convocation consisted of
over 120 faculty members who
all worked together to actively
plan ahead for the upcoming
semester.
As the semester pushes forward into mid-September, the
CFA continues to assemble and
rally support in protest of the
disabling cuts to higher education. The effects of such cuts may
already be evident to students,
many of whom experienced difficulty crashing courses. The
CFA is responsible for the assertive stance faculty is now taking
against over-enrollment.
"Class size is important in
determining the ability of faculty to give students the appropriate level of attention necessary for success, but budget
demands have been steadily
increasing our class sizes to the
point where we simply could
not provide the time necessary
for students," said CFA Association Chapter President and
CSUSM Associate Professor of
Sociology, Don Barrett. "This
decision was a key part of why
you saw many faculty encouraging students in their first
days of classes to file complaint
forms about the availability of
classes."
Last Tuesday and Thursday,
Sept. 8 and 10, CFA assembled
CSUSM faculty members in
Founders Plaza to protest the
budget cuts and furlough days
and also encourage students to
join i njhe protest. During the
University Hour protests, faculty members stood in between
Craven, Markstein, Science Hall
I and Academic handing out
complaint forms to students.
Students may notice their syllabi include furlough explanations which detail the reasoning behind and consequences of
furlough days for course sched-

ules and campus operations.
CSUSM's Academic Senate
comprised of faculty members
across departments, compiled
samples of furlough language in
syllabi. The CFA provides these
examples of furlough explanations on their website for faculty to use. The CSUSM's CFA
chapter website, www.csusm.
edu/cfa, also provides students
with the information necessary
to help protest the cuts to the
budget.
An online complaint form is
available at the CFA website as
well. The form headline reads:
"Got Classes? We don't. If you're
frustrated that you're paying
more for classes & an education
that you're not receiving, please
fill out this complaint form."
"In terms of complaint forms,
we have received hundreds [of
complaint forms] and will be
giving those to the President and
Provost, as well as to the Chancellor's office and legislators,"
said Barrett. "This sort of visible
complaint is key to letting policy
holders know that students and
faculty won't just quietly accept
efforts that make quality educa-
tion more and more difficult to
provide."
President Haynes recently
wrote an editorial in the August
30, 2009 "North County Times"
regarding the budget crisis at
CSUSM.
"There is no question that we
are positively impacting lives,
— but how can we continue to
educate and support students
with quality when our budget
was dramatically slashed by $14
million, or 20 percent of state
support, in one year? This is
the question that keeps me up at
night," Haynes wrote.
"The fact is, Cal State San
Marcos and the public higher
education system in California
are in crisis. The current options
of reducing quality service to
students, of turning even more
students away, and of charging
students more are all distasteful
and largely unacceptable alternatives — not just for Cal State
San Marcos, but for this region.
An even less-educated community of tomorrow will not
be the community that attracts
and retains businesses; it will
not continue to be the place of
incubation and innovation. This
dilemma should keep all of us
up at night," Haynes said.
In closing, Haynes called
on the "North County Times"
readers, and the entire county,
to rally against the cuts to
higher education, "Join me in
sending this definitive message:
Our state budget cannot be balanced on the back of California's future."
This call for help provides an
example of the collaboration
between faculty and administration against the budget
cuts made by the state. While
CSUSM faculty and staff are
certainly frustrated with the
current state of the budget,
Haynes is not downplaying
the magnitude of the cuts or
their effects on every member
of the campus community and
beyond.
"The faculty agrees with
President Haynes' assertions
that California's commitment
to education is in serious doubt,
and that it is time to make it
clear that we will not tolerate
continued actions that reduce
the quality of education."

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

W omen's soccer defeats Westmont 1-0
September 12, 2009
Cougar women's
soccer
turned in an excellent effort on
Saturday, posting a well-earned
win against Westmont College
in front of the Cougars' home
crowd.
The #12-ranked Cougars are
now 3-2-1 on the season. Westmont falls to 1-2-1.
It was virtually a 180-degree
turnaround from the team's last
home game, a 1-0 loss to Vanguard. Today, CSUSM was
energized, physical, and hungry
as they attacked the goal and
played spirited defense. Track
star Lucia Asbury made her
first appearance of the season
as a forward, and provided
pace and aggressiveness to an
offense that had appeared sluggish at times this season.
¡ ni
¡iiiiüiiüiiii
lüÄlÄSli
The game's lone goal came
in the 34th minute. After a
nice build-up, Asbury hit a
cross to the top middle of the
box, where the ball found the
foot of Taylor Ziencina. Ziencina launched a shot from
about 15 yards out that found
the top corner of the net, past
the hands of the outstretched
keeper. It's Ziencina's fourth
goal of the young season.
That would be all the Cougars needed, as the defense was
in top form, limiting Westmont
io just one shot on goal - which
fortunately ricocheted off the
post. Keeper Kaycee Gunion
picked up the shutout.
CSUSM will face another
tough GSAC test as they go on
the road this Tuesday to take on
Point Loma.

Baressa, Williams sweep UC Irvine Invitational
September 12,2009
Muluken Baressa won the
8K, and Dallon Williams won
the 5K as Cougar cross-country
posted a huge season-opening
effort at UC Irvine.
% "As a team, the Cougar women
finished an extremely-impressive 3rd at the NCAA Event,
while the men took 5th.
For Williams, the win supports the work ethic and drive
/that Coach Steve Scott has been
raving about this Fall. An AllAmerican in Cross-Country
and National Champion in track
& field, Williams is on a mission to improve on last year's
sixth place finish at the National
Championships. She got off to a
great start on Saturday, running
17:21 to win the event by 5 seconds.
Not far behind in the 5K was
Cady Villarreal. A breakout
performer this spring in track &
field, Villarreal proved she will
be a force as a cross-country
runner this fall. She ran 17:41 to
finish 4th.
Junior Jessica Sandoval
would make it an amazing three
Cougar runners to break 18 minutes. Sandoval took 9th place
with a time of 17:56.
All three runners not only
finished in the top 10 at this
event, but they have a very good
chance of earning Ail-American
status at Nationals.
The Cougars' next three runners all finished within a couple
seconds of each other. Sin Carrano, Lindsey McKown, and
Kelly Thompson finished 59th,
60th, and 61st with times of 19:10,
19:11, and 19:12, respectively.
Melissa Olmos rounded out the
women's team with a time of 19:30.
For the men's team, the 2009
season debut was just about as
impressive. Running in his firstever meet in Cougar Blue, Baressa,
a transfer from Mesa College,
defeated the NCAA-heavyfieldin
the 8K with a time of 25:06. That
time alone makes him the #5 top
performers in Cougar cross-country's 10-year history, and he's still
got the whole season ahead of him.
Next on the team was Dave
Edwards, who finished in 38th
place with a time of 26:11. Pat
Fitzgerald finished 55th with a time
of26:34, and Bernardo Bahena and
Chris Strasheim were close behind
in 58th and 59th, running 26:41 and
26:42, respectively. Rounding out
the top-5 was Chris Capeau, who
ran 27:32. Also competing for the
Cougars were Miguel Vega (28:21)
and Jordan Brooks (28:37).
It's an outstanding start to what
should be a big season for Coach
Steve Scott's cross-country program. The #6-ranked teams will be
in action next week at UC Riverside.

M en's soccer wins thriller a gainst Westmont
September 12, 2009
A rabid crowd of Cougar
fans cheered an equally-energetic Cougar men's soccer
team to victory in its home
opener Saturday.
CSUSM
defeated Westmont 3-2 in what
was a wild, spirited game.
The Cougars have now
clawed their way back to 3-3
on the season. Westmont falls
to 2-2.
The hundreds of fans in
attendance w fie treated to a
thrilling mafch between two
talented and highly-motivated sides at Mahgrum Field.
Westmont struck f irst, when
in the 18th minute Anthony
Niboli found a loose ball in the
box and drove it past Cougar
keeper Kevin Ernst.
Westmont continued to
apply the pressure, and would
have went up 2-0 a few minutes later had Ernst not made a
diving full-extension save.
With
h alftime
fast
approaching and it looking like the Cougars would
go in down 1-0, lightning
struck twice. In the 42nd
minute, recently-subbed in
Casey Wootan sparked the
o ffense with a b eautiful pass
through the defense to Bradley Seidenglanz. Seidenglanz
beai the defense to t h e c a l 1;
and blasted a q uick-shorthat
beat the keeper cleanly^1
That tied the game ^ t 1-1,^
but the Cougars were not done.
Just 59 seconds later, Brandon
Zuniga and Wootan electrified the crowd with a beautiful goal. Zuniga made a run
to the corner with the ball, and
f ired a low cross to Wootan,
who made a run to the near
corner of the net and skillfully redirected the ball over
the keeper and into the top of
the net.
The sudden change from 0-1
to 2-1 in the span of a minute
was one of the most exciting stretches in the history of
Cougar soccer. But Westmont
was not deterred, and equalized the game early in the
second half on a corner kick
in which it appeared Ernst was
held back. Doug Harrell took
advantage with a solid header
into the net.
But CSUSM would have
the last word, and catch a
break of its own as Brandon
Zuniga made a nice run, arid
was taken down right at the
top of the box. A penalty
kick was awarded, and redshirt freshman Martin Suarez
easily tucked it away for his
f irst Cougar goal. Twenty
very tense minutes followed,
but when the dust settled, the
Cougar defense held and the
team had a very well-earned carry the momentum into a
vtough game Tuesday at Point
3-2 win.
The Cougars will look to Loma.

Project R unway moves to Lifetime
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Project Runway's season six on
its new TV network, Lifetime®, still
keeps loyal fans flocking.
Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum have
packed up and moved from New.
York City to Los Angeles. The contestants will be working from the
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FD1M), a shift from
the legendary Parson's School of
Design.
The judges, Nina Garcia, fashion
director for Marie Claire magazine
and Michael Kors, an American
iconic fashion designer, stayed on
board through the changes. Staying traditional, Project Runway
brought in a selection of celebrity
judges, this season has already seen
Lindsay Lohan as a guest judge for
a red carpet challenge and a pregnant Rebecca Romijn also guest
judged for a maternity design challenge. Future guest judges include
Eva Longoria Parker and Tommy
Hilfiger this Thursday at its regular
showing time of 10p.m.
Other than location, the show is
unchanged from its previous five
seasons on Bravo® TV network.
The grand prize still lures designers to compete for a chance to show
at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week,
$100,000fromL'Oreal Paris, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine
and a Paris vacation sponsored by
Evian.
The casting has stuck to its roots
with the same odd but artistic personalities. "I try to meditate on the
mood of where the garment will be
and who will be wearing it," said Ari
Fish, a 26 year-oldfromKansas City,
MO who never sketches her designs.
Michael Kors described her dress as
"a disco soccer ball." Fish's quilted
silver halter dress made her the first
designer to go home,
Challenges and stresses stay
high but the creative workfromthe
designers and the dramatics that
come with it continue to keep audiences raving. Last week's episode
eliminated a contestant for playing it
safe with the design ofa simple black
dress.
"No one's [design] really looks
like crap, but I just think Althea's
looked like crap," said Irina
Shabayeva, a young designer out
of New York City. Regardless
of Shabayeva's opinion, Althea
Harper, a 24 year oldfromDayton,
OH, impressed the judges with her
three-piece suit, making her the
winner of episode 4.
This year Bravo® had a not so successful knock-off called "The Fashion Show." The winner of the show
had their designs sold at a retailer.
This ultimately focused the designs
toward commercial sale rather than
high fashion runway style. Although
it followed the same elimination
format as Project Runway, they had
stiffly written tag lines such as "You
are hanging by a thread." These
words fell flat with many fens of
"Project Runway," used to organically formed sayings such as Tim
Gunn's "Make it work," or Klum's
"One day you're in and the next day
you're out."
Lifetime's interactive website
gives viewers an opportunity to rate
the designs, the contestants and give
feedback. Do not worry if you have
missed an episode or two because
featured on the website, www.
mylifetime.com/on-tv/show/projectrunway every full episode is posted
for watching with a few 3 (^second
commercials slipped in.

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

Returning students climb same stairs to a different campus
BY SANDRA CHALMERS &
JACKIE CARBAJAL
Although the campus is celebrating its 20th year while some
of its students a re doing the
same, many overlook the f act
that CSUSM is still quite young
in university years. Still, the
CSUSM community is familiar with the changes each new
school year brings. Last year,
CSUSM launched its new and
improved website. In years past,
parking structures opened, bur
colleges offered new majors,
and public transit advanced.
This fall, CSUSM brings both
a new logo and Windows Operating System in addition to a
thirty percent fee increase and
ten percent pay cuts to staff and
faculty.
With the country still tackling an economic recession
and the state of California in a
budget crisis of its own, cuts to
the Cal State University system
forced faculty, s taff, and students to essentially pay more
for less as a means to operate
on a budget drastically cut by
14 Million dollars.
Over the summer, the budget
cuts introduced a new word to
the vocabulary of the campus
community. In what some
s taff, faculty, and even student
workers will come to know as
the new f-word, furloughs are
responsible for the ten percent
pay cut to anyone employed
through the CSU system.
Last T hursday, Aug. 28,
CSUSM President, Karen S.
Haynes addressed staff and
faculty at Fall Convocation, an
event that not only celebrates
the accomplishments of the
past year but also ushers in the
beginning of the new school
year. Though President Haynes
tailored her remarks at the event
to resonate optimism within
the staff and faculty in attendance, drawing on the familiar
line f rom Cesar Chavez, "Si, se
puede!," the uncertainty of the
new academic year is hard to
ignore.
While CSUSM held its Convocation, the California Faculty
Association held its own alternative convocation. Though the
CFA has been fighting the cuts
to the budget over the past year,
as the effects of these cuts take
effect in the months to come,
the faculty association is preparing to fight and be heard
throughout the state.
Furloughs
Faculty at CSUSM must to
adhere to the new regulations
established by the State of California labor code that require
professors to take nine unpaid

Faces & Places Editor
On June 4, 2009, CSUSM students were sent a message via
web mail notifying them that
because of "budget constraints,"
undergraduate registration would
be limited to 13 uriits or less.
Unless the student had priority registration, they would be
unable to take more than 13 units
in the fall semester. For most students, this was not a big problem. The average unit load of
four classes factors to about 12
units. But, those who needed to
take more than 13 units—due to
an impending school transfer, or
graduation requirement—were
l eft high and dry. The e-mail
does contain a link to personally
appeal a case on the Undergraduate Advising Services website,
but it is unknown what criteria is
needed to gain this appeal.
When asked, the majority Of
students at CSUSM had mixed
feelings about the unit limitation.
"I can see why they would need
to do that, to save money," said
senior Anthony Carlson."But at
the same time, if I needed to do
more than 13 units in the spring
to graduate I would be screwed.
Plus I would be paying even more
money to finish it in summer
school!"
Even though the unit cap only
affects a small number of students, this action may signàfìthe
beginning of a number of inconvenient cutbacks by the California State Universities in response
to the state budget crisis. If this
unit cutback turns out to be effective in saving Cai State money,
the CSU system may employ
more unit cutbacks in the future.
As of August 31, 2009 at 9:00
am, CSUSM lifted the 13-unit cap
for the fall semester, citing that
"an audit has revealed a limited
number of openings." But once
these few openings are taken, the
classes that some students need
to take will be full. For many students, the e-mail came too little,
too late. If CStJSM does decide
to use this method in the future,
returning students can at least
kncrtv what to expect in terms of
class availability for the upcoming semesters.

by f ans and celebrities at his
memorial service held at the
Lós Angles Staple Center holding about 20,000 people, millions also stayed tune to the
tributes and special performances in the nationally tele-
vised event. His death may be
one of the most controversial
topics f or the summer since
his cause of death still remains
under investigation with the
most recent Los Angeles coroner's report ruling the cause of
death as a homicide.

"Cash for Clunkers"
The
U.S.
administration
announced a $1 billion Car
Allowance Rebate System in an
attempt to not only help boost
the economy but also encourage
American consumers to trade in
their less fuel-efficient for more
eco-friendly alternatives. Due
to the high demand, Congress
approved a $2 billion extension
after the original funding was
exhausted by July 31, 2009. The
original end date for the program,
November 1, 2009, was cut short
when the "Cash for Clunkers"
allowance was officially depleted
on August 24,2009. According to
the Department of Transportation,
"Cash for Clunkers" generated
690,114 transactions in dealerships with Toyota accounting for
the majority of the sales.

m&m
j i s reading T he Pride!!!! :D
--
v"
' t J M S t S ' is laying out the first issue of the semester! about 1 day ago.
H ome
j a c k i e c a r b a j a l I 'm back for one more semester (I mean it this time) and am returning
as editor-in-chief. I am a Literature and Writing Studies major with a writing emphasis and
will be applying to grad school to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.
When I am not on campus, I am likely working my other job as a legal assistant for a law firm
in Carlsbad. I enjoy cartoons (currently watching "The Chipmunks Adventure"), NPR, and
fishing (for compliments, not fish). I come from a big family so noise doesn't bother me, t
am always willing to offer advice or a helping hand, and I love to laugh.
s a i K l r a _ c h a i m e r $ Hello! My name is Sandra Chalmers and I am the new Arts and
Entertainment Editor! I am a Communications and Mass Media major. Trader Joe's makes
me happy and iced coffee has become my drug of choice. I love live music and enjoy all
mediums of art. I am completely fueled by creativity. I would choose a foreign film over the
next Jennifer Aniston chick flick and sometimes I am always late to class.
a m y _ s a l i s b u r y My name is Amy and I'm the Copy Editor. You've probably seen me with
this huge, Brazilian bag I lug around that might be embarrassing if it had j ust one l ess color
on it. I'm an odd 20 year-old known best for my astounding ability to go against the flow. I
get offended when my favorite bands come on only to serve as background noise. I like to
think people derive benefit from what I say about music. I like Ferlinghetti, philosophy, cats
and cosmology. I love a good concert. I'm terrible at leaving voicemaiis, and 1 think people
tell more about themselves by what they hide than what they expose.
m a t t J e w i s Hi, t'm Matt. A lot of people confuse me with the multitudes of other Matt's
that go to school here. I guess it would be easier if I said my last name paired with my first
name all the time, but then again, that would be weird. I am a senior at CSUSM and will be
the editor for Faces & Places this semester. I enjoy Rollerbiading, or "Fruitbooting'' as many
like to say. Most people think I mean fitness skating on the boardwalk with spandex, and I
always have to explain to them, MNo, like on rails and stairs and stuffy I like the ocean and I
like eating tacos. if you're looking for a good taco place 1 would say go to Qscar's on Rancho
Santa Fe drive in Vi$ta, about 10 minutes away from school. I'm sure you can find the ocean
on your own though.
k r i s t i n a J a w l e r My name is Kristina Lawler (soon to be Martinez as of October 3, 2009)
I am youfBusiness Manager for The Pride. I am twenty-three years old. I am going into
my final year at Cal State San Marcos and have loved every minute of going here. I am
majoring in Business Administration emphasis Marketing. I work at Starbucks and love it.
I love Disneyland, learning new things, random talks, and traveling. I have a Westie named
Harrison and he rocks my socks literally and another Westie named Sampson who is my old
man that I rescued. I'm a Leo and extremely compassionate, l am a fuH believer in second
chances and karma. Wanna know more? Just ask.
r u d y _ m a r t i n e z I usually have Kristina write this up for me, but I figured I'd give this a shot
this time. My name is Rudy Martinez and this is my fifth semester as a Layout Editor for The
Pride, so if I mess something up, sorry. This is my final yeaiL(hopefyily) here at CSUSM and
HI be walking in the Spring. I'm getting married on October 3rd to Kristina Lawler. I'm stoked.
You'll most likely spot me wearing a shirt with a cupcake and crossbones (johnny Cupcakes)
around campus.

In the fall, Sundays mean football to
some. To others, t he ABC combo, "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and
Sisters," comes to mind. Fans of the shows
have to wait until Sept. 27 for the premieres, though their returns should prove
worth the wait. In the season premiere of
"Housewives," viewers will finally know
the answer to the season 5 cliffhanger; who
does Mike marry, his ex-wife and baby
momma, Susan, or current girlfriend, Katherine? The new season should also prove
entertaining as the other housewives surely

have their own melodramas to play out
and, per usual, a new family moves in.
The "Brothers and Sisters" season four
premiere will see more of the newest
addition to^the Walker family, the illegitimate son, Ryan, who, for those of us
who tuned in last season, will remember, his intentions weren't exactly genuine. The .divorced single oldest sister,
Sarah, will finally get some action and
we'll see how Kitty and Roberts rocky
marriage makes it through Robert's run
for governor.

Want something to gossip about?
Gossip Girl returns this fall on the CW
on Mondays at 9pm, a step up from their
previous 8 o'clock spot. Going into it's
third season, this show has definitely
turned into a must-see. Watch out,
Manhattan, these kids are grown up
now and off to college. What will that
mean for our favorite characters? If it's
anything like the last seasons, lots more
drama and exciting new storylines. It
will be hard to top last season's twists
and turns, but with Chuck Bass and
Blair Waldorf finally attempting a relationship, who knows what will happen.
I know I will be tuning in on September
14tb to find out and so should you.
"Dancing with the Stars" could very
likely overshadow the entertainment
gems that Mondays o ffer this fall.
Though "House" by now should have
a strong enough following to weather
out the rumba/jive combos of D-list
celebrities, "Heroes" has something to
prove considering the rapid decline its
ratings have been on since season one.
"How I Met Your Mother" and "Big
Bang Theory" are honorable mentions,
as both these shows are not only funrfy,
but their earlier seasons are available on
box sets for quite reasonable prices.

They say Tuesday h as become the

going to n eed t wice the e ntertainment a fter your long T-day g rind.
But i nstead of t raditional t rash TV,
why not go f or a show where a guy

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

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

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

Pride Staff Writer
ing on a project. The simple fact is in a
group you have more than one person
contributing ideas, concepts, solutions, time, and e ffort. Those are all
positive aspects of having more than
one person work on the project," said
Breckon.
Allison Carr, the Social Sciences
Librarian at our Kellogg Library, often
works with students on group assignments and views group work as a valuable part of school and work.
"Group work in college will help you
get used to working with diverse personalities and strengths. I absolutely
think that group work is helpful to prepare for f uture careers," said Carr.

Cinco de Mayo is o ften celebrated
in the United States w ith big p arties
and lots of people. It is a U.S. holiday
and can b e c onfused as M exico's
I ndependence Day. It is rarely celebrated in Mexico f or the date is
not as i mportant as September 16.
September 16 is M exico's a ctual
I ndependence Day and its s ignificance is f ar more i mportant t han
Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco de Mayo m arks the
v ictory of the M exican A rmy
over the French at the Battle of
Puebla. The French a rmy was
in Mexico w ith the intention to
c reate an Empire u nder Napoleon
I II. In 1862, when t he French a rmy
r efused to leave Mexico, G eneral
I gnacio Z aragoza o rdered about
4 ,500 M exican soldiers to d efeat
the French army. T he M exican soldiers were o utnumbered t wo to
one and were still able to d efeat
the French.
In the U.S., the Battle of
Puebla canie^to be k nown
as Cinco de Mayo and
many people c onfuse it as
M exico's I ndependence Day.
Over t ime, Cinco de Mayo has
b ecome much c ommercialized and m any p eople see
t his holiday as a t ime f or
f un, d anse^anck c hinking.
U nfortunately, Cinco de
Mayo is h ighly advertised t o m ainly b ring
in m oney t o p roducts.
A round t he t ime, e ndless a dvertisements of
alcohol are seen and the f ocused e ffort
h as s erved the i ndustry well.
A lcohol-industry spokesmen say
t heir a dvertising is t argeted at r esponsible, legal-age d rinkers, but t hat's not
the message seen f rom the p romotional
blitz that h as led up to t oday's Mexican-American holiday, Cinco de Mayo.
W hen images of f ive a ttractive
young L atinas, b eers in h and, f lirting w ith "a guy n amed Mayo," or
an o ffer by Sol b eer to " taste the
Sol of Cinco," the image p ictured is of e thnic p ride being
used as a m arketing prop to
e ncourage d rinking among
L atino and C hicano youth.
Cinco de Mayo should be
celebrated f or the v ictory and
s trength the people had d uring
that b attle and not b e m isconstrued f or Mexico's i ndependence. It also s houldn't b e
t aken advantage of to p romote alcohol.
M exico's I ndependence
Day o ccurred on September 16 when
in 1810, Miguel
H idalgo y Costilla, a local p riest,
led h is people to r ise
up a gainst the Spanish Crown. Since the
early 1500s, Spanish c onquistadors
came to Mexico
t aking oveggfae,
local r ulers
and claiming
the land f or
Spain. They

many
and looted what t hey could of Mexico's t reasures. For over 300 y ears,
Mexico, then called New Spain,
was a p art of S pain's empire.
W hen Miguel H idalgo y Costilla s tarted a revolt a gainst the
Spanish r ule in 1810, he and h is
u ntrained I ndian followers f ought
a gainst the Spanish. H is revolt w as
u nsuccessful and Father H idalgo was
executed. Soon a fter H idalgo's execution, Father Jose M aria Morelos led
the revolutionaries. U nfortunately,
Father Morelos f ailed and w as a lso
executed.
In 1821, a fter the M exican-born
Spanish and the Catholic C hurch
j oined the revolution, Spain w as
f inally d efeated.
Mexico celebrates t heir I ndependence Day on S eptember 16 e very
year, the a nniversary of t he s tart of
Father H idalgo's revolt. Even t hough
M iguel H idalgo y Castillo and Jose Maria
Morelos f ailed in
t heir a ttempt to f ree
Mexico, they still
a re symbols of liberty and p atriotism.

The G reat San M arcos Burrito A dventure
The quest for the perfect local Mexican dish

Their version of the carne asada
burrito is outstanding, especially
If it's burritos you're after, then with a few beans added. It will not
burritos you shall get! What better only satisfy your hunger, but also
way to close out a semester than leaves your stomach smiling and
indulging in a tasty burrito or two thanking you for such a delicious
on Cinco de Mayo? Within a short treat. If you're not a fan of burridrive from campus, there are plenty tos, their taquitos are the next best
of options to satisfy the craving for thing. Withflavorfulbeans and rice,
a burrito or a few tacos, all of which I swear it was made by my grandmother!
offer outstanding Mexican food.

area.
Sombrero's offers your standard
Mexican food restaurant menu at
reasonable prices. However, Sombrero's portions are enough to have
lunch and leftovers for dinner. A
favorite is the beef chimichanga
plate that consists of a hefty deep
fried burrito of deliciousness filled
with strictly shredded beef, topped
with guacamole, and a dollop of sour
cream,rice,and beans are served on
the side of this heavy weight. Currently, Sombreros is having a Cinco
de Mayo special, where select
combos are $5 (+tax) each.

Home Depot shopping center off
San Marcos Blvd., it is a late night
(or anytime of the day) awesome
place for some killer carne asada
french fries or an out of this world
California burrito.
Albertaco's guacamole is really
what sets this establishment apart
from any other Mexican food restaurant. Most places, it is rather
t he bland and somewhat blends in with

the food. However, theflavorin their
batch enhances every element in
any dish it is served with. Another
bonus that Albertacos has is that it
is open 24/7, which is awesome for
those late night study breaks (or to
further your procrastination) from
finals. ,
Other honorable m otions include
Taco Pablos, Santanas, Jilbertos,
and Taco Bell. Taco Pablos, off
San Marcos Blvd. and Grand Ave.,
offers more of a half-service dining
experience, where they bring your
order, and on actual plates too! The
place has less of a casual restaurant feel^ but not quite the full-service, sit downrestaurant
Pablos offers restaurant style food
^and prices. It's good, but if you're
looking for a quick bite, you might
want to try another place.
Santana's, hidden behind Arbys
off San Marcos Blvd. just past Las
Posas Rd., is a hidden gem, but
unless you are a die hard fan, live
close to it, or just want to try it for
the heck of it, Santana's is rather out
of the way. However, it is open 24/7
and has superb came asada nachos
and rolled tacos (taquitos).
Jilbertos, located within the AM/
PM off the Nordahl exit, is a relative of the Alberto's chain and has a
similar menu. I'm just not too crazy
on going to a gas station for a burrito. However, if you are ever in the
Temecula area, there is another J ik
bertos located off the 79/Temecula
Pkwy exit, that I know is outstanding.
I have to mention Taco bell even
though its not ' 'rear' Mexican food.
I do rather enjoy their double-decker
tacos.
T h & you have it—an unofficial gpid^ t s theibutfitp hot sj>ots
around campus. Whether the ¿laving hits you as you read this£ or
at 2:00 a.m. when the letters on
your computer screen start doing
the Mexican hat dance in the final
paper you're writing, you have
options' Happy Cinco de Mayo,
good luck during finals, and have
a great summer!
Warning: not responsible for burrito bellies.

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

sirens. Oh my gosh, what happened
to Tim, is he ok?
Bryan responded, "It looks like
Tim will be ok now. His heart stopped
beating, but they were able to bring
him bade to life.
Everybody in the group posed
expressionless feces. Paige broke the
silence and asked "how were you able
to contactthe paramedics?
Bryan said With a smile, "I didn't
contact anybody. A moose attacked

Bryan reassured her, 'Trust me, I

As the group slowly walked up

Hotshot Burgers
Savior of an American Tradition

A small sign by the door

If Grace and Jeff Hagen established this same diner in the

there would be no surprise to
see some of America's favorite
1950s celebrities enjoying alltime American favorites, hamburgers, and ice cream.
Hotshot Burgers, a hamburger

its 5-year milestone this year by
gracing North County San Diego
with some of America's favorite

be about a used-car salesman.
The Time Traveler's Wife: Eric
Bana and Rachel McAdams star
in this film about a time travelling
man and is based off a book of the
same name.
A Perfect Getaway: A perfect
honeymoon turns into a scare-fest
when tour guides become killers in
this thriller.
Post Grad: Gilmore Girls star
Alexis Bledel stars in this lighthearted drama about a graduate student who moves back in
with her parents.
August 28
Halloween 2: It is a movie about
Halloween, but it is coming out in
August. It does not make sense.
This is not a film. It is an excuse to
have Michael Myers kill some more
people amidst young girls flaunting
certain body parts.
Final Destination: Death Trip
3D: Studios have packed the end
of summer with blood and gore.
I am sure a 3-D splatter fest is not
the best thing to see before starting
school again.
The Boat That
Rocked: Several
rouge DJs set a
sail to broadcast

drama.

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

MBA program

but I've yet
to receive the
official acceptance. My Nana
always told me
as a kid to count
the chickens after
they hatch. Even if
I get accepted, I will
not be writing for the paper.
The time has come to pass the
torch. I look forward to read-
ing future "Exclusively Fluid" columns.
And this last paragraph is for all of you,
my readers, my fellow Cougars, my professors, my CSUSM staff, and my people. It's
been one crazy trip, hasn't it? A hh.. .man.. .1
love college. So raise your glasses, raise 'em
high toward the sky, and keep 'em raised. I'd
like to make a toast. "The pleasure was all

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

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

It was a very long process, but

W ater scarcity p anel
comes to c ampus
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Thursday, April 23: During University Hour last Thursday, a panel
discussion spoke concerning the
uigent newsregardingwater scarcity
in San Diego County.
The panel was comprised of Dr.
George Vouiiitis and Dr. Vrvienne
Bennet, both from CSUSM, and
Mr. Bruce Wilkinson from Water
Business. The Political Science Club
together with the Model United
Nations Club sponsored the event
The discussion focused on various
factors of water scarcity within our
county, including the cost of importing water and what solutions may be
possible for preventing future water
scarcities.
Dr. Vouiiitis aimed his presentation on the general facts of the water
cycle, including the process of water
inputs, outputs, storage, and climate
models.
'"Given the low variable rainfall of
ourregion,most of our water has to
be imported," Vouiiitis said
Vouiiitis pointed out that climate
models predict an increase in temperature and a decline in rainfall in the
western U.S.resultingin less water
causing the current Level 2 drought
"The Mure looks grim," Vouiiitis
added
Bennet focused on where our water
camefromstating that 54 percent of
our water supplyfor2008came from
the Colorado River basin.
"Southern California is in a crisis.
We are importing about 85 percent of
our water," Bennet said
She discussed the idea of creating
new canals and river pipelines for a
more direct form ofreceivingwater
but discussed how that mayresultas a
heavy tax burden to taxpayers.
Wilkinson wrapped up discussion
by expanding on drinking water statistics such as waterrelateddiseases
and deaths as well as possible solutions to this "dry" dilemma.

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

RecycleMania trophy goes to CSUSM for fifth straight year
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Over 500 colleges and universities from all over the United
States and Canada participated
in the RecycleMania competition
this year. 4.7 million students
and 1.1 million faculty and staff
on these campuses collectively recycled or
composted just over
69.4 million pounds
of waste over the
ten weeks of competition. CSUSM
recycled an all time
high of 78 percent.
CSUSM's Blue
Crew and Green
Team
diligently
sorted
through
the garbage and ^
recycle cans, sep- ^
arating out recyclables from nonrecyclables.
CSUSM owes its
fifth consecutive win
to each and every
member of the
campus community. From the
students who made the effort to
throw stuff in the bins, to administration who provided the bins
in quantity, to staff who went
through old files and trash, to
people involved in supply acquisitions who order materials that
are recyclable.
CSUSM Recycling Coordinator Carl Hanson also personally
thanked member of the UniverVillage
Apartments for their
involvement in
RecycleMania.
"Special
thanks to Brian
Dawson and everyone over
at UVA for the great help that
they gave in their first year of
participation in RecycleMania.
Their effort was awesome,"
said Hanson.
CSUSM won the competition by almost 14 points above
the nearest competitor.
Other prize winners include
first time entrant McNeese
State
University
who
grabbed both the "Stephen
K. Gaski Per Capita Classic"
and "Corrugated Cardboard"
awards. What makes this Louisiana school's performance all
the more impressive is that it is
entirely student organized. Bard
College won the "Food Service
Organics" trophy. Kalamazoo
College won "Bottles and Cans."
Stephens College won a second
time in the "Paper" category.
Rutgers University claimed the
"Gorilla Prize," which is total
weight of recycling.
The competition is not just
a final count at the end of the
10 weeks, there is an ongoing
count, which everyone knows
and so the lead often changes as
efforts increase to catch up, go
ahead, or regain the lead. For full
details of this year's competition

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

For dinner: a watery sensation.
A bathtub. A drowning. How
the water washed over her, how
the facet dripped, heat prickling

reflections so that sometimes she
could make out her body, belly

times if she shifted her concentration she could see those pink
tiles, crooked and stained.

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

Waiting For W hat
Lost andfoundwords on a menu. "Surprise
me," he says, and she scribbles something on
her pad, doesn't even look up, like people say
this to her all the time and she transcribes their
meaning.
It's the people who make it dive in like
four cups of coffee to stave off the night air
and space, asking you to decide what Taylor
sits solitary at his table watching her pour the
coffee into big greenware mugs, her Up red on
top, white on the bottom, creased below by the
fullness of her chin. The mugs are part of why
he likes this place even though they say lazy,
too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's
doing.
She brings him angel food cake heaped with
whip cream. What else are you going to eat
at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just
like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of
her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no
sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending,
what people look like if you stay up all night
driving transports for art supplies from state
line to state line.
In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down
the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday
special on angel food cake. It is sweet and
spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by
her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details.
Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses
that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one
night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to
the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg
steadies itself on the ground while she reaches
to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover
herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark
of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She
has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now
is a brief scan against the oncoming light of
another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in
his headlights.
She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches
down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with
an enclosed black platform. The boot up her
right leg is fitted closely around the ankle,
zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly
treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is
hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like
a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into
Omer's Diner, a swish of red keeping time to
a beat in his head.

"I did not! I tried to save him," but the tears
were already blurring my vision. "How was I
supposed to know the stupid thing would run
toward me?"
We walked down the beach to where the
body lay. When we got close enough to get a
better look at his face, we could see that it was,
basically, missing. His flesh was hanging off
his head. It looked like he had met the Cajun
Cook and lived to tell about it, at least until I
came into the picture. I felt terrible. Still, I
couldn't help but think that maybe my attempt
to save his life gone awry had really put him
out of his misery. How long would he have
wandered around the beach, trying to figure
out what had given him this splitting headache,
if I hadn't come along?
Later that night, after I had told the story at
least a hundred times, Alexa, Kendall, Dane
and Jared called me into the kitchen. I could
hear giggles. There, on the table, was my
beach bag, the one with the hole chewed into
it. A Beanie Baby squirrel, his eyes taped shut
with x's, was lying near the bag. Trail mix was
strewn about.
"Oh my God," I thought. "Who raised these
children?"

for Sale' hang in the windows. As she stops
to enter from the dark lot she is a Klimt still
life in reverse, phosphorescent light against the
kiosk dot and symmetry of too much pattern
still alive.
"No more angel food cake?" he asks when
she reaches the table farthest from the door
where Taylor seeks refuge. She looks toward
the kitchen and shakes her head. He thinks
it is Omer who has put an end to it, Sunday's
special still there on Thursday, her feeding it
to the truck drivers too old to care. He reaches
for the greenware mug before it is set on the
table, but she withdraws it, arcing to the side
where it now rests, no splash in her, having
long since lost both security and certainty.
She sets the mug of coffee down with her left
hand, walks away one booted foot infrontof
an unequal other, a shadow of blue running
up herrightarm, fading into elbow under the
white ghi.
No more drive, he returns to his truck,
climbs behind the sojourning seat and lays
headlong in a berth of sleep. Tapestries and
textures tap, tap, tapping his mind, weaving
and leaving lines, electric wires turning blue
under his skin, illuminating signs he cannot
read.
On his lidded screen she is sitting, waiting, wide-eyed but never looking ahead.
Her head in her hand, she stares off to the
side, her elbow stacked atop her knee on one
exposed leg, her chin resting on one warm
hand. As if an artist has drawn it too big,
then outlined it in red, a line runs down the
side of herfleshypalm, a flaw solved, disappearing into the dress. Always crimson,
always waiting, he wakes to her image tipping his senses into the day he sleeps through
waiting for the night of driving, always forward, always on.
Another round of unnamed signs brings
him back to mile 543 where an unimprinted
'£>' is written on her blank nametag, watersoluble dots on plastic, sustaining a place for
a name he wishes he knew.
"'D' for Darlene?" he asks, suddenly old,
Rumplestiltskin revisited.
One finger moves to the T>', transferring
off the ink, the protruding shape obliterating her finger blue, a miracle of flesh and
thought
"Just Dee." The words form in his mind as
he stares again at the symbols on the menu.
He looks up to see if her lips have moved, but
he is unsure.
"I'm hungry, but I don't know what. v. What
would you suggest?" he asks, her pad poised
for his order. She bends toward the menu, the
smell of silent snow on age-soft stone. The
whistle of a train passing behind Omer's diner
inclines her back toward it. Then, "Bring what
you like," he says, a wrap of trust and apathy
hard-baked in a crust. Her head, turned toward
the passing train, nods, and smothered sighs
in lines and dots she does not write tap Morse
code on his mind.
"With nuts," he calls to her. The red slingback is left on tonight, ever so slyly listing to
the right as she walks off to the kitchen, her
knee halffrozenon its tweedled hinge, manic
from the leg down.
The food, when it comes, is nutritive communion. Mustard onfrilledlettuce sprinkled
with almonds and small hunks of hamfroman
omelette withheld, gingered apples by the side,
what unhungry people crave. But for him, a
venture restored, a difference soothed.
Another four weeks out he turns off at mile
543. She glows through tapestried cracks
in the window waiting for coffee to pour, to
read minds on the menu. A crater on a collision course entering Omer's diner, he hopes to
greet her in the familiar, at one of eight empty
tables, no booths to hide in. But the quiet of
the night that is morning speaks the orders
that don't matter, except coffee. Just once if he
could occupy her gaze, but still, she looks off
to the side and brings whatever she likes, just
what he wants.
Eager, he reaches for the plate, but her movements circle around his and the plate is down.
Key Lime Pie so pale it is white. Taylorreaches
to touch herrighthand, the one that holds the
pad she never writes on, the words he never
says. He hears but does not see their formation,
yet he knows the whispered meaning; please
don't. It is spoken as a warning, as a Madonna
protects from harm, but he can't heed it. He
spills the coffee she sets down, stops her hand
as she pulls back, quicker than he looks.
"Mea culpa," he says, a dreamer reaching
out to absence.
Her hand, loose against the pad will be cold
to his coffee spilled palm, but it is not. It is hot
with an iciness that stings until the next fourth
Thursday when she is not there. And Omer
says she never was.

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

Meath. She began performing
professionally with Damien Rice
in 2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally
contributing guitar or bass in live
performances. Hannigan also
appears on recordings with The
Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer
Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic
Christopher.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left tour to
begin solo work. In early 2009,
Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in
the states.
Hannigan's appeal lies in her
breathy, ethereal voice. However,
in the album track, "Pistachio,"
she presents her poetic ability
as well. The song begins with a
simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz
bass and gentle drum join the
mix, producing a pleasantly folky
blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like
sugar, tend toward the brittle and
sticky when spun," filling the
song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling
cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums.
Hannigan and her band are
currently gearing up for a UK
tour. Go to her website, lisahannigan.ie, to see live performance
footage.

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

Tuesday Apri/ 28, 2 009
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
As May and f inal exams
approach, this week marks
the start of the summer movie
season. The highly anticipated
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm,
staring Hugh Jackman should
blow away the other f ilms this
week.
The summer movie season
is s tarting early in May with
several anticipated f ilms,
such as "Star Trek" and "Up"
Arts & Entertainment
Early in April, a copy of
"Wolverine" was mishandled
and copies of the movie wound
up on the black market. Online
remarks of those who have
gotten a hold of it are mixed.
I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen
in the trailers. If this movie
can create a balance with the
plot, character development,
and action, as the f irst two
"X-Men" f ilms did, t his will
be an awesome f ilm.
With the wild expectation
of "Wolverine," it could be
easy to forget about the other
f ilms out this week. The other
entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated
sci-fi f ilm.
Matthew McConriughey and
Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts
of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer
who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas
Carol" style. This is because
he let Garner's character slip
away and he must get he back.
It seems predictable, but it
might be something for those
who do not want to see "Wolverine."
Lastly, there is "Battle for
Terra." I have mixed thoughts
Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is
arriving in theaters soon. This
week belongs to "Wolverine."
Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the
"X-Men" series. The loaded
cast includes Ryan Reynolds,
Liev Schreiber, and Danny
Huston back him up.
The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the
man with regenerative powers
developed his signature claws.
It is also loaded with other
heroes and villains including
Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites
Gambit and Deadpool.
THE PRIDE

set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles
heavy humanity issues. The
surviving humans set out
to conquer a p eaceful alien
planet in order survive. This
f ilm is loaded with political
sentiment and great actors yet
the dialogue and CGI-look of
the f ilm in the trailer makes
me think I will wait until this
comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney,
might have handled this story
better.
Regardless, neither of these
f ilms will make a dent in
"Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much
people are willing to pay for
movies this summer.

Being the

Spring is here, and with it gomes
sunny weather, allergies, and end-ofsemester f reak outs. In addition, the
season starts out with a holiday that
many people forget about until the last
minute: Earth Day. While some people
celebrate Earth Day only by telling
others that " It's Earth Day, you know,"

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

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

Fabric Refresher™. The allergen
reducer claims to reduce more
than 75 percent of pollen and dust

C SUSM's seventh annual International Fair
Schoolwide event promotes diversity and community
BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ #
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' seventh
annual International Fair took
place Thursday, April 16. The
three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural
tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee
and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of
Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC
and Many Student Organizations
The International Fair gives
CSUSM students, friends, faculty,
and staff the opportunity to come
together and appreciate the many
cultures that make our university.
One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair
is the free sample dishes from
Europe, Latin America, Asia and
many more.
Every year, the German booth's
popularity seems to increase.
Senior CSUSM student, Jean
Scheuneman says, "Every year
we get 300 Rohwurst. We never
know how many people are going
to show up, but we just do the best
we can and we get a lot of people
from our club to help out."
Aside from all the mouth-wa-
tering food, the International Fair
featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers,
and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.
Kwame Degbor, a visiting professor, enlightened spectators with a
Ghanaian dance.

is one of out best events of the
year. Just the International Fair in
itself and how all the ethnic clubs
and Orgs and everybody coming
out here, enjoying the free food,
enjoying the culture, it's just a day
of unity really. I'm just happy to
be a part of it!" says Alexander.
Each table at the fair included a
variety of displays. The tables had
photographs, objects, and facts
that were unique to each country along with samples of native
foods.

to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances
from April 15-19. As an audience
spectator, I had no choice but to give
some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's
title. Big Love does not succumb
to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss
and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos
Martinez and produced by Charles
Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into
by the three leading ladies played
by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia
Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny
and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia),
and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The
brides and the three grooms played
by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon
(Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed)
showed excellent stamina as they
pounded their fists in tantrums,
rolled on the floor in emotional
agony, and combined yelling with
moments of passionate subtlety.
To set the tone for the evening, the
audience is greeted by two women
in bright white bride dresses as an
usher with black rings around his
eyes will open the door for you to
the Arts 111 auditorium. You may
have even seen theseflayingbrides
run around the International Fair
this past Thursday.
As I arranged myself to sit in the
middle row, the enchanting and classic wedding music set the tone for a
memorable on-campus experience.
The eerie mood will creep into your
mind, a mood not only set by the
plot, but also by the performances
of everybody on stage. The stage,
withflowingbackground images of
Italy's countryside, remains simple
with a bathtub and cylindrical bars.
The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move-
ments and choreographed ballroom
dance scenes.
The most impressive aspect of
the performance shined through in
the delivery of personal speeches
in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping
philosophical statements with very
human perspectives on love. A
refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in
this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake
of healing, for life to go on, there
will be no justice." For the sake
of appreciating great theater, I clap
loudly and smile on my home down
the Chavez stairs.

In love with Love Boat
D ale's Pale A le
A simple name but a powerful brew
BY JONATHAN
THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Oskar Blues Brewery
brews and cans Dale's
Pale Ale in Lyons, Colorado. The company
formed in 1997. Two years later,
the brewery became a brewpub.
The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer,
southern and Cajun styled food,
and live blues music. In 2002,
they claimed to have become the
first US microbrewery to can its
own beer. Employees hand-can
the beer inside a 60-year-old
barn.
BevMo retails six 12 fluid
ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans
are
held together
by a plastic harness. The
l abeling
f eatures
a bright
red, blue,
white, and silver color.
The can looks like an
American flag. The
can pressurizes a brew
with a 6.5% alcohol by
volume. BevMo also
sells four other Oskar
Blues Brewery beers.
Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky
forming a menacing one-inch
thick head. The head resides
momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy.
The brew radiates a rich golden
amber hue* The bitter aroma
rising from the glass indicates
the heavy use of malts and hops.
The common name and the
simple guise of can-in-a-beer
does not do the beer justice.
The brew enters smooth before
a ravishing Jason Statham flying
round house kick double punch
assaults all areas of the mouth.
After the initial blow, the taste
buds recuperate only to ask for
more.
The boldness and thickness of
the beer should pair well with
heavy dinners such as steak and
potatoes with lots of dinner
rolls. Avoid consuming
the beer alone. Enjoy the
brew with anything, such
as chips or beef jerky,
to truly enjoy the beer's
courageous flavor.
As the essay and
exam dates stack up
stay focused, but take
a moment of relaxation and enjoy the
tasty Dale's Pale Ale.
Cheers!

In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and
continues to grow, it's the
süshi bar. Although popular
food chains and local favorites are closing every day all
over the county, sushi bars
continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because
the appeal of the sushi bar is
more than just good food; the
experience is what makes it
memorable and keeps people
coming back. Not the fake,
constructed experience that
some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee
is not paid to smile and does
anyway. The atmosphere of a
restaurant and the dedication
of its employees to making
great food and entertaining customers seem like a
lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is
the Love Boat sushi bar and
Japanese restaurant located
in the new Las Posas plaza
in San Marcos.
In the past, people would
visit restaurants and bars
because of the repertoire
they had with the people
who work there. As corny as
it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come

back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With
the expansion of modern-day
chain restaurants, this kind of
intimacy has been lost in most
places, where communication
is most of the time limited to
a speaker box. What sets the
Love Boat apart from other res^
taurants is the experience you
have with the "bartenders," the
friendly sushi chefs who greet
everyone as they enter, make
recommendations on the best
food that day, and are more than
willing to spread around f ree
drinks for a special occasion.
The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the
fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu
of meat, fish and vegetable
combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the
imported Japanese beers and
sake the Other sushi restaurants
do. Asking around, it becomes
apparent that most people who
go there are not there for the
authenticity. "It's really more of
a hangout spot than a restaurant
for me" says CSUSM junior
Jason Reyna. "We come out here
after school or work when my
friends and I have had a rough
day, and it (the restaurant) just
has a great positive vibe to it.
The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a
bar or the formalism of á typi-
cal restaurant. We come for that
middle ground."
Don't get the idea that the
Love Boat is only a place for
partiers, though. The restaurant
is just as much f un as a family
environment as well, according to regular patron and local
business owner Andy Wegner.
"When I bring my kids here, I
don't have to worry about them
being too distracting to the
other people, because there's
so much going on already" said
Wegner. "At the same time, I
prefer to bring them to a place
where they can get food that
is better for them than pizza
or French fries or something."
From religious sushi lovers to
the first-timers, the Love Boat
is the perfect choice for those
looking for a local restaurant
with a little something extra.
For information on the hours
for Love Boat San Marcos, call
760-471-7722. The Love Boat
also has two other locations:
Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove
Rd, and now Rancho Bernardo
at 11611 Rancho Bernardo Rd.

Radiohead
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed
O'Brien, and Phil Selway are
arguably the gods of rock.
Their alternative influence on
modern music caught and kept
worldwide attention since their
first release over 16 years ago. I
don't think I need to explain to
you how awesome their music is.
Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable.
Aside from Radiohead clearly
ruling their genre, the band is
also on the forefront of utilizing
green technology.
Lead singer Thom Yorke's
strides to raise awareness about
global sustainability have brought
about major change in the band's
touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music
industry's over-consumption of
resources in order to make more
tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being
the revolutionary he is, made
Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows
tour the most eco-friendly tour of
recent years.
Liars, Radiohead's opening act,
wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At
the outset we were all given tour

like contraband."
Radiohead also decided to
tour by bus rather than by plane
because just a three-hour flight
emits as much carbon dioxide as a
Hummer would in a year. What's
more, the buses and trucks used
by the bands and crew ran on biofuel.
Radiohead's merch website,
waste.uk.com, revolves around
western over-consumption. The
merchandise producers do everything they can to make products
that that have a minimal impact
on the environment. The newest
items are t-shirts for men and
women made out of recycled
plastic bottles and organic cotton.
There are even some "unbranded"
shirts for those of you who may
not dig on Radiohead as much as
you do on the planet. They also
A neverending story
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Brian and I had found the canoe
on the beach and decided to take
it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We
had been wading earlier and found
that the water temperature was
quite warm. It was almost like
submerging into yourself, it was
hard to tell if you were actually
in the water. We had decided to
go rowing out along the shoreline
and see what was there. We rode
along quietly with nothing more
than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water,
we surprised several animals who
were basking along the edge of
the lake. As we came around one
bend, we came face to face with
a large bull moose who was busy
eating from the lush greenery at
the water's edge. He immediately
came to attention, alert to the
danger we presented. Snorting his
warning a couple times, he began
to make a move to charge us.
We had quickly and as quietly
as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come
to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet
separated us from the moose.
The shear size of him was breath
taking. Without conscious effort,
I became aware of the sound of
the insects and birds around us as
well as the heat of the sun raising
a prickly heat all over my skin. I
almost swatted a mosquito that
was gnawing at my forearm,
when I realize the moose was
watching my every movement
intently.
I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly."
I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not
to have the movement appear in
any way threatening. Slowly the
paddle moved forward through
the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of
the canoe. The heat seemed to
rise as the moose's breathing
caught mid-breath and he began
to move his ears impatiently, his
tail twitching side to side as his
nervousness looked for an outlet.
A second stroke of the paddle
brought little more movement
than the first. We seemed to be
moving away by centimeters,
more as a result of the wind and
current than our paddling. A third
and fourth stroke was giving us a
slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think
we had successfully pulled it off,
the moose charged. He covered
the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed
was breathtaking, time seemed
to slow to the point of stopping.
I watched the water give way to
his feet, slowly spraying up into
the air. I yelled and back paddled
as hard as I could, but to no avail
as the moose dipped his head,
bringing his large rack to bear on
the bow of the canoe.
The canoe shuddered under

into the air with apparent easy

the wind. Brian and I were
launched into the air and over
the side as the canoe came to
rest a short way from us. The
moose seemed satisfied that he
had dispensed the danger and
turned to wander off into the
woods. We swam to the canoe
and after a brief inspection,
realized it was not functional.
We grabbed onto the debris
and just floated along. The
breeze was picking up and
pushing us further away from
the shore. It was also getting

mountains, the sun seemed to
almost switch off like a light
switch. I could no longer tell
which way the shore was. The

began to listen to the rush of
blood through my ears. My
mind began to hallucinate,
losing its grip on reality. It
was telling me that everything

emphasized drama and conflict
over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will
be a great teaijerker.
I do not have the same hope for
the other twofilmsin wide release
this week. First, Channing Tatum
stars in a movie called "Fighting."
As one might expect in afilmcalled
"Fighting," the movie is about
Tatumfightingseveral people.
The title "Fighting," redly puts
me off this flick. If the creative
minds behind this film cannot
come up with a better name for a
film aboutfighting,I do not expect
a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie
aboutfighting,check out some clas-
sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films,
because they have good stories, and
both men are actual fighters.
I also do not have hope for
"Obsessed." The story is simple.
A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman
comes in a throws everything out
of control. The conflict is the wife
versus the new secretary.
I will not be seeing "Obsessed"
any time soon. It stars Beyonce
Knowles, who is a name more than
an actress, the story looksflat,and
the market campaign make this
film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films.

SEX /Off
Anniversaries
The explosion of mockumentaries
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Hopefully you remember them, otherwise
the only gift you'll be
receiving is a big smack
in the mouph (yes, it's
an offshoot of the word
"mouth," get used to it).
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.

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."

W h a t t o see o n D V D
A mishmash of movies a n d
television madness
BY B LAINE H. 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

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.

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

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

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

The Sounds
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces & Places Editor
Television is a powerful
medium. 99% of American
households have one TV. The
majority have two or more.
Anyone desiring maximum
exposure can take comfort in
knowing that television will
put you in the homes of millions.
Musicians would naturally
consider this when trying to
break into the industry. Countless companies approach art-
ists with the prospect of broadcasting their music through*
commercials. The prospect of
being associated with a product might seem unattractive,
but when the public receives the
advertisement well, the artists
could propel their way toward
stardom. Case in point: The
Sounds.
You'd be hard-pressed to
find anyone who isn't familiar
with the Geico commercials.
This car insurance company
certainly has some brilliant ad
writers at their disposal. The
Geico gecko has had his fair
share of fame, but the real stars
are the cavemen. Sprung from
Geico's slogan, "So easy a caveman could do it," the cavemen
appeared in several of Geico's
recent campaigns.
A personal favorite of mine
features the cavemen selling
motorcycle insurance. Granted,
the advertisements haven't
swayed me from my current
vehicle insurance provider, but
they have exposed me to a band
I wouldn't know otherwise.
The Sounds are a Swedish
band formed in the late 90s. Lead
singer Maja Ivarsson founded
the band with Felix Rodriguez,
Johan Bengtsson, Jesper Anderberg, and Fredrik Nilsson. In
2002, they released their debut
album, "Living in America."
The album didn't break into
the US charts, but their 2006
release, "Dying to Say This to
You," became number 1 on the
US Heatseeker chart, and 107
on the Billboard 200.
"Hurt You," off "Dying to
Say This to You," propels The
Sounds' music into homes
across the nation. The track,
heavy with new-wave styling
and punchy synth, turns a poptinged hook into the perfect
commercial backdrop. I don't
know how "cool" it is to be
known as "that band from that
commercial," but I wouldn't
have known of The Sounds
without Geico.
As a result of this exposure,
The Sounds are now touring
as a support act with No Doubt
across America. Their third
studio album, "Crossing the
Rubicon," comes out June 2.

among Asian American women.
Wong plays the role of various fictional personas that keeps
the audience absorbed and on an
emotional rollercoaster during the
entire performance. The evening
included moments of silence and
extreme laughter as Wong shifted
the mood of her performance and
storytelling. One minute the audience would be seriously engaged in
complete silence as they the listened
to the emotional pleas of Wong's
character seeking help from knitted rags representing people. Minutes later, laughter burst from the
audience when Wong's character
would scream and cuss at them.
The audience also participated
with assigned responses to Wong's
queues as they held up funny
photos of her. The performance
ended with a powerful and unexpected twist when revealed that
Wong's character is a patient in a
mental institution. The evening's
performance closed with an open
Q&A session with the artist.
In addition to being a performer,
Wong is also a community activist and educator. The organization
Speak Out outlines Wong's previous work to include conducting
writing workshops for women of
color, and her previous work as
former artistic director of the Asian
American Teen Theater Company,
where she created educational theater on teen issues such as HIV/
AIDS with youth.
Wong uses unapologetic humor
to address serious, and at times,
taboo issues affecting women of
color. In 2000, Wong created a
mock mail order bride website
(www.bigbadchinesemama.com).
The site serves as a lesson website for men looking to order Asian
brides and uses sarcastic humor
in its content. The site's web page
reads, "Yeah, you've seen mail
order bride sites before, you may
have even surfed over to an Asian
porn site, but never in your wildest culturally commodifying sick
sexual desires, have you been
schooled by women (womyn) like
this!"
Whether Wong is doing a solo
performance, lecturing, or helping with youth and community
theatre, she is definitely someone
worth paying attention to. Wong
will continue to tour the United
States with her intriguing performance of "Wong Flew Over the
Image courtesy ofManja.org
Cuckoo's Nest" as she makes her
next stops in Chicago, New York
and Minnesota. For more information on Kristina Wong, visit www.

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

BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Grappa's and Legend's officially closed down. Player's
Sports Bar is in the process of
buying the recently revamped
local restaurant. As business
dwindled over the years, Grappa's split into two restaurants
sharing one roof. The bar and
restaurant served customers
until there was no more food or
alcohol.
"It wasn't fun. It was really
rough trying to keep the doors
open," said Grappa's and Legend's restaurant manager John
Medina.
After the recent renovation
that added Legend's, a sports baroriented atmosphere, it seemed
that the business was headed for
greener pastures. However, from
the recent closing, the remodel
came too late to salvage the flailing Cougar hangout.
"The owners banked on the
sports bar bringing in more
students from [California State
University San Marcos] and
keeping it alive. There was a big
increase, but it didn't happen,"
said Grappa's and Legend's bartender and former CSUSM student Tyler Barr.
Although there are various
reasons why Grappa's and Legend's ultimately folded, some
reasons point toward legal issues
and marketing.
"The City of San Marcos
wouldn't let us do a lot of things
because of the license we had. It

have any live entertainment, and
we couldn't change our liquor

Barr.
"We weren't quick enough

The constant news concerning the dangerous conditions
brewing in Mexico have hit
home and now threaten students' spring break plans.
Continuous emails were sent
out to the entire student body
and faculty advising to take
extreme necessary precautions
in making any trips to Mexico.
Pat Worden, Vice President
of Student A ffairs, on behalf
of the O ffice of Communications forwarded the advisory
along with a link to the U.S.
Department of State travel
alert implemented on Feb. 20,
2009.
"Recently our O ffice of
Communications sent out a
State Department Travel Alert
to the CSUSM community that
reports an increase in crime
and violence, i n Mexico„i The,
purpose of such a Travel Alert
is to warn prospective travelers of security risks and dangerous conditions," Worden
stated in the e-mail. "I urge
you tp review the State Department information as you consider whether to travel across
the border during Spring
Break. We want you to have a
relaxing, refreshing, and safe
Spring Break."
The U.S. State Department,
Bureau of Consular A ffairs,
travel alert expresses that a
number of locations along the
U.S./Mexico border are Experiencing rapid growth in the
rates of robberies, homicides,
carjackings and petty t hefts,
notably in Tijuana and northern Baja California within the
last year.
"In recent years, dozens
of nUJSL citizens have been
kidnapped across Mexico,
many of these cases remain
unresolved," the travel alert
stated.
Safety tips for traveling
include always taking the main
roads and traveling during
the daylight hours, travel in
a group, do not travel alone,
and never display expensive
watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed
as easy targets for crimes.
"Mexican drug cartels are
engaged in an increasingly
violent conflict both among
themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics t rafficking

violence, the government of
Mexico has deployed troops in

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

the bush ahead of us. I found myself
breathing with short shallow breaths
as I strained not only with my eyes,

what might be infrontof us. Aswe
stood still, the sounds of the forest
seemed to grow around us, and the
dark seemed almost palpable.
The bush began to move again
and there seemed to be a darkening

and down the trail toward us. In the

Blair is very feminine. Look
for details with hints of delicacy such as lace in order to
achieve understated elegance.
3.
Color Accents: Blair
uses color to modernize her
look. To keep things fresh and
exciting, look for accessories
that have bold colors. Limit the
accents to one or two pieces or
risk being a visual overload.
Dan Humphrey
Dan lives in the Upper West
Side of Manhattan, a place
that reflects a culture
that values liberal sensibilities and artistic expression. Dan's
style is less formal than
Blair's, and Dan tends
to lean toward a more
relaxed look. Here
are a few rules to
achieve the "Dan" §
look.
1. Layers: Dan |
likes to layer with
cardigans
and
vests. So layer
your
favorite ^
shirt with a car- f i
digan or vest to
achieve effortless style.
2. Military: Dan
wears a lot of masculine
military-esque
apparel. Think of military jackets and safari
jackets as a replacement to blazers.
3. Down to
Earth:
Dan
wears a very
neutral
palette.
Keep
things understated by staying with muted
tones
that
compliment a
relaxed look.

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

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

BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Women's History Month
is about giving women the
o pportunity to voice their
story. For Women's History
Month, "The Pride" shines its
spotlight on a h andful of the
many accomplished women
that distinguish Cal State San
Marcos.
D r. V e r o n i c a A n o v e r

Dr. Veronica Anover is Cal State
San Marcos' 2008-2009 award
recipient for the Outstanding PresidentAwardforTeachingExcellence.
Anover received her Bachelor's
Degree in translation and interpretation from L'Institut Catholique
de Paris. She went on to receive
a Master's degree in French and
Spanish from FSU.
Dr. Anover continued on to
receive a Doctorate in French
from Florida State University.
Anover is a professor of Foreign Languages. She published a
French textbook, "A vous!," along
with two workbooks/lab manuals.
Anover also published textbook in
French that accompanies the "A
vous!" textbook along with a textbook in Spanish that accompanies
the textbook "Plazas."
Anover is currently working on her third workbook/
lab manual in Spanish.
As a contributor of the "French
Review," Anover writes book
reviews of contemporary
women authors. Four book
reviews are published per year.
Anover also published scholarly
articles in "Second Language
Acquisition" and in "French and
Spanish Contemporary Literature" written by women. Benoîte
Groult, a woman now in her 80's
has been Anover's role model in
many ways.
Groult was one ofthefirstFrench
feminists who participated in the
MLF (Mouvement pour la Libération de la Femme) the French
Feminist Movement born in 1968.
Of Groult, Anover's says "she
reminded me how lucky we
women are today. We should not
take for granted what our 'mothers' and 'grand-mothers' accomplished for us."
D r. S o h e i l a J o r j a n i
Brakebill Award recipient, Dr. Soheila Jorjani, has been teaching
on campus for 17 years.
Joijani received a PhD from
the University of California, Irvine in Operations
Research. Jorjani has applied
her knowledge and pursued
significant scholarly activities. Jorjani was one of the
first researchers to apply
operations research models
to environmental problems.
Her work has been published
in prestigious journals in
the field of operations management and management
science, such as the "International Journal of Production Research" and "Journal
of Optimization Theory and
Applications."
Jorjani has made many
contributions to the College
of Business Administration.
Since the beginning of her
career on campus, Jorjani
helped develop new classes
and programs such as the
Senior Experience Program.
In 1993, Joijani and three other
faculty members designed the
unique program that remains
the most important class of the
curriculum for students of the
CoBA. Every semester, graduating seniors work collaboratively to address real-life proj-
ects proposed by local businesses.
In 2005, Jorjani became the chair
of the MBA committee, since then
she has led the committee in revision of the program. The MBA
program courses are each based
on one of the four themes of environment, ethics, global, and technology. Since 2007, Jorjani has
served as the director of the MBA
Program and she explained that
her biggest challenge is to make
sure the program is implemented
correctly.
Outside of campus, Jorjani has
a second job, beirlg a mother.
With a 19-year-old daughter and
her youngest at the age of 15,
she wants nothing more than to
be a good role model for them.
Jorjani is trying to follow in the
steps of her role model, Trini

Melcher, a former professor who
she always admired. "She was
the best mom, her kids were so
accomplished," confesses Joijani.
Jorjani is an Iranian who broke
apart from a culture in which
women are not thought to be
career women. "It was a challenge
to break away from that stereotype that they have for Middle
Eastern women" says Joijani.
Jorjani has a passion for being a
housewife and a workingwoman.
"I love doing both, to have a balance, to be comfortable in both
roles," she says. Education is
what allowed Jorjani to have that
opportunity and she advises students to "get a high education, get
a PhD, especially to women. Get
a higher degree, because then you
have a choice."

The book itself was published

not just to literature and history, but also to peoples' lives
now," says Stoddard-Holmes.
Stoddard-Holmes' writing
is about how society got ideas
about what it means to be physically disabled.
Aside from her book, being a
parent, and raising her 15-yearold son is another major accomplishment for Dr. StoddardHolmes.
Stoddard-Holmes holds a BA
in English from Cornell University, and an MA in Creative

and PhD from the University of
Colorado in Boulder.
There are many friends and
role models that StoddardHolmes knows who helped
her become a better scholar.
One being Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, a scholar from
Emory University. Since 1993,
she has been like a big sister to
Stoddard-Holmes.
"She has been my mentor
and my role model in terms of

she's a terrific
scholar, she's
my teacher,
she keeps guiding me along
the way," says
Stoddard-Holmes.
StoddardHolmes is the
youngest in her
family, giving
her a wide variety of role models
to look up to.

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

D r. K im P ulvers
Photo by Gabriela Martinez
At the age of eight, Dr.
Kim P ulvers' family was
involved in a d readful car
accident. Both of her parent's were seriously i njured.
As a result o f the accident,
her mother's entire l eft side
became paralyzed, and at one
point, doctors did not believe
her mother would survive.
"They said, 'She's never going
to go back to work, she'll never
really regain normal f unctioning,' but she was fortunate,
she did survive. She pursued
intensive rehab f or two years,
everyday, all day. And as a
result of her courage and her
tenacity, she went back to elementary school teaching, she
was able to go back to work,
go back to living her life,"
says Pulvers.
This tragic accident that led
to a miraculous recovery is
the reason why Pulvers first
became interested in Positive
Psychology. This life changing experience is what defines
what Pulvers does, her focus on
human strength and resilience.
Pulvers followed her desire to
learn about psychology* and
graduated from Westmont College in 1994 with a BA in Psychology. She went on to complete a Practitioner Oriented
Master's Degree. Pulvers later
moved to Kansas City where
she attended University of
Kansas to receive a PhD in
Clinical Psychology where she
was trained in clinical work,
research, and teaching.
Another interest of Pulvers'
is health,"I wanted to really
understand more, on how to
change people at the population level." In order to have that
population level training and
learn how to help people, she
completed a Master of Public
Health Degree in 2005 also
from the University of Kansas.
During her clinical training year

In 1995, Dilcie Perez became
a CSUSM graduate with a BA
in Political Science. Perez went
on to receive her Master's f rom
Central Michigan University in
2000. In 1998, she once again
became a cougar as Assistant Outreach Coordinator
and, over a five-year period,
became the Associate Director of the Outreach Program.
As she was about to ¿ay goodbye once again to the university, the Associate Director of
Multicultural Programs position became available. The
position was to a brand new
program that Perez had the
honor of establishing in 2003.
Soon after, Perez decided to
live in Japan until CSUSM proposed she return as the Director of Student Life and Leadership.

has held the position ever since.
Dilcie Perez was a recipient for the Student A ffairs

and Employee of the Year
Award. Aside from the o fficial awards she has received,
Perez has been honored with
many unofficial awards that
have touched her heart deeply.

drug and alcohol addiction.
Following a Postdoctoral at
UCSD FROM 2006-2008,
Pulvers worked at the Cancer
Center and focused on nicotine addiction.
As of fall 2008, Pulvers is in her first year at
CSUSM, where she came
on board as a full time tenyear track faculty member.
Pulvers was awarded a University Professional Development grant to study adaptive
pathways for dealing with
acute pain amongst smokers.
In her studies, Pulvers wants
to learn what thought strategies her subjects have and
wants to teach these strategies to people battling addiction.
In order to support her
studies, CSUSM's Psychology department will
be building a smoking lab.
This unique asset will allow
Pulvers to work with her
undergraduate and graduate students through active
learning. "I'm thrilled to
be here. I'm happy to be at
a place where I can do my
research with great students," says Pulvers.
really need done. Can you
do it, r ight?'" says Perez.
Perez is currently the
American Council on Education O ffice of Women in
Higher Education Southern
California Regional Coordinator. There are only
two in the state and Perez
represents all of Southern
California. "I think awards
come in many shapes and
sizes," voices Perez. "If
you're looking for awards
and official things, for me
that not what drives me. It's
the individual relationships
and people that I come in
contact with."
Perez believes that role
models are all around.
She encourages women
to believe in themselves.
Though Perez can think of
the traditional role models
like her mother and previous supervisors, what draws
her to someone is their fortitude in the mist of a crisis.
"It's hard sometimes,
because we see women who
have never had someone tell
them how awesome they are,
and how incredible they are
and half the battle is having
confidence in yourself,"
Perez says, adding, "it's
important to laugh at yourself, you're going to jack it
up...we all do...you have to
remember to have f un, live
life, stretch yourself, don't
get comfortable in your
comfort zone."
Joyce Bruggeman has held several paid and volunteer positions
throughout her years. Bruggeman received her BA in Spanish with an* emphasis in Bilingual Education from the University of California, Irvine.
Previous to Bruggeman's employment at CSUSM, she worked in
market research for a real estate
company, held various administrative positions in educational
settings as well as small businesses, and was the co-owner of a
small farm with her late husband.
In 2001, Bruggeman began working at Cal State San Marcos where
she also held numerous positions. Bruggeman worked in the
Psychology department, acted
as the Budget Manager for "The
Pride Student Newspaper" as
well as Assistant to the Dean of
Students. In 2005, Bruggeman
became the Resource Analyst for
the Division of Student Affairs.
Bruggeman believes this is a perfect fit for her, "I have the opportunity every day to help facilitate
the various services that help our
students at Cal State San Marcos."
Aside from her work on campus,
Bruggeman volunteers at public
schools, community youth
organizations, and church.
"I have had the opportunity to serve
my community as well as develop
my professional skills by providing
leadership, lecturing, teaching seminars, organizing events, and training other leaders" says Bruggeman.
However the most fulfilling part
of Bruggeman's life has been raising her two children, Katie, 21 and
Brian, 26, with her late husband.
"They have faced many ofthesame

challenges as their peers and have
developed into amazing young
adults. I am especially proud that
when life handed them the worst,
they met the challenge head on with
their best. They are both strong,
courageous, and loving individuals who consistently exceed my
expectations" says Bruggeman.
Though Bruggeman has had
both male and female influences in her life, two women
come to mind: a professional
leader and a spiritual leader.
Current Vice President for Student
Affairs, Patricia Worden, is her
professional role model. In Bruggeman's personal life, Barbara Brown
has been her spiritual mentor.
"These two women are phenomenal leaders and although their
spheres of influence are vastly different, the characteristics that mark
their leadership are strength, dignity, and grace. Sitting Under their
leadership has been a privilege as
they have both given me the opportunity to develop, encouraged me
to grow, and prepared me to freely
embrace the future, both professionally and personally."

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

Students against the War on
Terror will raise their voices here
at CSUSM on Thursday, March
19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in
the Forum Plaza next to Kellogg
Library. The demonstration is part
of a national movement to protest
the continuing war on its sixth
anniversary.
The Women's Studies Student
Association (WSSA) of CSUSM is
sponsoring an anti-war demonstra-
tion. The protest is in coordination
with the United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) organization, which is
a coalition of over 1400 local and
national organizations who are in
protest of the Iraq War.
Consuelo Martinez, Student
President of WSSA says, "The
demonstration is one of many
actions taking place throughout the
country. Students will participate
in a mock "die-in" as a symbolic
reminder of lives lost during the
Iraq war. The "die-in" demonstration was started a couple of years
ago with the Progressive Activist
Network (PAN)."
War is not just about one country's cost in money and body
count. Currently, the US has lost
over 5,000 Americans in Iraq and
Afghanistan, but on the other side
of the fence, approximately one
million Iraqis died with another
4.5 million displaced from their
homes. Cost estimates for the war
run around $600 billion currently
spent and estimates up to $3 trillion for afinalamount (UFPJ).
"I feel as students, it is important
that we remember the destruction
that continues after six years of
war," Martinez said, and encouraging all to come out and observe
the demonstration.
According to Martinez, "the
demonstration will not be a rally,
but a peaceful event for students to
observe and participate in. There
will be information tables with
pamphlets about statistics on the
war, resources for military families, and peace activism." This will
be far differentfromthe Vietnam
demonstrations of the 1960s with
students clogging hallways and
waving signs demanding change
in the establishment..
The WSSA encourages students to come out and experience
the "die in" as a way to personally
experience the tragedy that has
befallen the latest generation of
young adults. Come out and find
out what you can do to change the
course of the war. For information
regarding any special accommodation that you may require, contact

March is here and it is the month
of HERstory. CSUSM's Women's
Center has organized a calendar
of events to recognize women
and what they have achieved,
there are 15 events scheduled to
take place throughout the entire
month. Programming and Events
Specialists for the Women's
Center, Phylisa Wisdom (2009)
says, "Women are often left out
of mainstream history, so March
being women's herstory month
is a time to be able to appreciate women's contributions in
history and have more program-
ming. for the learning center."
Herminia Ramirez, Community
Outreach Specialist for the Women's Center and editor of their
newspaper The Rag, adds that
these events highlight things that
are happening to women now.
Ramirez says, the March 5
event 'Women in Latin American Politics, is information that
is still happening and is still relevant. Ramirez follows by saying
"Some of them are developing
nations still, it is important to see
what women are doing or what
they should be doing."
The Women in Latin American
Politics event took place Thursday, March 5 during University
ths
Hour in Markstein Hall 101. Cynthia Chavez Metower leading
the discussion touched on topics

world countries have said that
there is a quota of a limit that 30%
of candidates must be women for
both the upper and lower Housing. She continued to explain that
this does not mean that 30% of
women will be elected.
It simply means that 30% must
stand to be elected. Metower

the effectiveness of the quotas

the city of Chicago has dyed the
water in the Chicago River to celebrate this holiday. Many cities have
tried this attempt with their local
bodies of water but have failed
to do so. Chicago locals believe
that a little leprechaun comes in
and helps with the process as the
color dye is actually orange and
not green. When the dye hits the
water it appears orange, but give it
a moment or two and it magically
appears the perfect shade of Irish
green. This is where locals believe
the little leprechaun appears and
comes in to help.

there are approximately 175 million

Facebook is barelyfiveyears old.
In 2004 Mark Zuckerberg and cofounders Dustin Moskovitz, Chris
Hughes and Eduardo Saverin created Facebook while they were
students at Harvard. It was initially
open to students attending Harvard,
but during 2005, it became available for students at other college
campuses. The same year Facebook was open to high school networks. In 2006 and 2007, Facebook
expanded to work networks and it

BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
Barbie® has been a role model
for girls around the world for half
a century, and still hasn't aged a
day. Her status as a role model is
confirmed on license plate holders all over. A rough translation
of the message reads, "I wanna
be Barbie, the little (woman) has
everything." Through fifty years
of ageless, good living, this highly
coveted doll of a woman does seem
to have everything.
Even as the original Material
Girl, through the years she has
given much more than she has
gotten. She has given three generations of young girls the confidence
to pursue anything and everything
in life they can imagine. When
Astronaut Barbie® was introduced
in 1985, it was hard to imagine
that one day, and very soon at that,
women would be an important
part of the NASA space program.
And while she has pursued equality for women in a down to earth
fashion, the manner in which she
has done so is fitting for royalty.
While many would consider her
the Queen of the dolls, Barbie®
has never forgotten her purpose,
and has always watched after her
loyal subjects with a gentle touch"
of noblesse oblige.
Barbie® has matured gracefully
and with a quiet sophisticatiofi. She
they celebrated the 50 birthday
of Barbara 'Barbie®' Millicent
Roberts by "throwing a pinkcarpet birthday bash at her real
Maiibu Dream House®." According to myfoxla.com, "The guest list
included model Heidi Klum, singer
Katy Perry and actresses Ginnifer
Goodwin, Holly Robinson Peete,
Melissa Joan Hart and Elizabeth
Berkley for a soiree hosted by
'event planner to the stars' Colin
Cowie." But the party doesn't
stop there. Mattel also says that
"After Maiibu, the Barbie® Dream
House® travels to The Palms in
Las Vegas, where The Palms' Hot
Pink Suite will be transformed
into the Barbie™ Suite, opening in
May 2009."
Throughout 2009 celebrations
will be held in honor of Barbie®
around the world in all the major
fashion centers. So you can expect
to see her in New York City, Paris,
Milan, Sydney, Tokyo and more.
In this world Barbie® party,
Mattel has even created a customized pink Nissan Micra convertible which gives buyers the
opportunity to live the same top
down driving fun that Barbie®
has enjoyed in her pink Corvette.
After all, if you really want to be
Barbie®, why not take a spin in
your very own Barbie® Nissan.
Just maybe, in the end, you'll start
seeing license plates holders that
say "I wanna be you!"

is no longer the toy of a young girl
that she was in 1959. She has blossomed into a woman that major
fashion designers pursue, seeking to have their names associated
with the most popular doll in history. The short list of haute couture fashion designers who have
designed for her includes Bob
Mackie, Versace* Escada, Giorgio
Armani, Kate Spade, Nolan Miller,
Ralph Lauren and many more. As
Barbie® matured, she kept young
girls loyal into their adulthood with
these and other fabulous, limited
edition Barbie® dolls. Outgrowing
her original limited role as a childhood plaything, she has become a
highly sought after and treasured
collectable. Women who have
grown up with Barbie® have not
only found their place in the world
with her help, they have made
a place in their hearts, lives and
homes for her. Her success seems
particularly well earned.
Perhaps Barbie's® good fortune
is due in large part to the company
she keeps. Her employer/promoter
Mattel placed 7 on the list of the
100 Best Corporate Citizens 2009
list by thecro.com (Corporate
Responsibility Officer). Earlier in
the year, Forbes ranked Mattel 48
on their list of their annual list of
the "100 Best Companies to Work
For." After all, you are judged by
the company you keep. There is no
doubt that Mattel appreciates Barbie's contributions to their success.
To honor her success, on March

Federal funding now available for embryonic stem cell research
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
On March 9, President Barack
Obama declared the start of a new
scientific era for Americans.
President Obama signed an
executive order to revoke the
Bush administration's federal
restrictions on funding stem cell
research thus now opening doors
to doctors and researchers for scientific exploration through the use
of embryonic stem cells.
"Today, more than ever before,
science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security
and prosperity as a nation. Its
time we once again put science
at the top of our agenda and work
to restore America's place as the
world leader in science and technology," said Obama in his speech
as he introduced his new Presidential Executive Order, "Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human
Stem Cells."
The Bush's administration limited embryonic stem cell research
for eight years, due to ethical and
moral opposition making some
feel as though American health
advances were put on hold.
"Federal funding will make
it easier for labs to do research,
with only private funding there
are less resources and the process
will inevitably go much slower, so
hopefully we will see results that
can benefit patients quicker," said
Anna Hasselberg, a CSUSM biology professor.

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

impressed with Pollak's song
choice saying "She brought some

a run of sad songs." Singing a

Rahim Baker compared this

was more confident this year."
There is no doubt that this year's
Cougar Idol was a complete success. Participants came with their

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

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

try to hide the growing fear inside
of me.
"Now is not the time Paige."
He steps in front of me as if to
shield me from the danger that
is lurking before us. I seize the
moment, wrap my arm around his,
and pull myself closer. He does not
pull away like I was expecting him
to.
"I'm scared," I manage to whisper.
For the first time since we went
on this trip he turns and looks me
straight in the eyes. He pulls me
closer to him and whispers in my
ear, " I won't let anything happen to
you I promise."

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

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

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

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

C ar accidents
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find
yourself in one? Here are some helpful
tips for being prepared in an accident.
Staying prepared:
It is California law for drivers to
always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof
of Financial Responsibility, for most
that means having your insurance card
on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well
as a copy of your insurance policy. In car
accidents it is important to understand
what your auto insurance policy covers,
so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured
driver hits you? What are your insurance
limits? These are questions you want to
know the answers to before an accident
occurs.
Another way to stay prepared is to have
a car safety kit stored in your car. This
safety kit most likely comes with cones
for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen
and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have
a camera on hand to photograph any
damage, street signs, and license plates of
any other cars involved.
Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical
allergies you may have in the case of
medical assistance is another important
precaution.
When an accident occurs:
If you are in an accident you are
required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car,
or even property. According to the 2007
State Bar of California, if you do not stop,
you can be charged with a hit-and-run
even if the accident was not your fault.
"The number one thing to do is to
check for any injuries, with yourself, the
other driver, and as well as the car," says
CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be
made is to 911."
If there are any suspected injuries for
T HE PRIDE
How to d eal
either party, notify medical authorities
right away.
"You have to be very aware and alert of
other vehicles coming from behind you,
especially on the highway," says Hackenberg.
If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your
car to a safer location if possible or stand
behind a guardrail for protection until
help arrives. Put out cones to help other
drivers be more aware that an accident
has occurred.
Exchange information with the other
party such as names, phone numbers, and
insurance company information. Take
note of the license plate number, make,
model and year of the other driver's car,
and his/her driver's license number.
Record the time, date and location
of the accident, note street signs, the
weather and exactly how the accident
occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they
may come in handy in trying to piece how
the accident occurred.
When police arrive, note the officer's
badge number and do not admit fault
anything you say could be recorded and
later be used against you, so before taking
the blame consult with your insurer or a
lawyer.
If an accident concerns a parked car
or property damage, you must make an
effort to locate the owner. If you cannot
the law states that you can drive away
only after leaving behind your name,
number, address, and an explanation of
the incident.
After an accident:
Request a copy of the police report of
the accident for your records. When it is
determined who was responsible for the
cause of the accident, compensations may
be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties'
insurance policies have. Keep in constant
communication with your insurer and
speak with a lawyer for any legal advice
concerning the accident or making an
insurance claim.
Exclusive interview with ASI President
BY DIANA VALDI VIA
Pride Staff Writer
Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander
Hoang.
Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself.
Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander

CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an

seeks
to bring people

experience. Oh
and I love
my mommy's cooking.
Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were
elected as ASI President. What made
you want to run for this position?
Hoang: From the moment I set foot on
CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this
intimate learning environment would
transform my life, and I wanted to make
a positive impact on At as well. Many
students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with
me how I helped their lives through my
roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of
various clubs. As a natural advocate, I
decided to step up to the next level for
all students.
Valdivia: What do you
think is the biggest issue
facing CSUSM students at
this time?
Hoang:
The
biggest
issue facing students is
affordability and
access

budget
cuts

enrollment. Parking permit prices and
textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying
graduation rates.
Valdivia: As ASI President, what
are you doing to help students with
this issue?
Hoang: I asked President Haynes for
help regarding parking permit prices
when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with
the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the
proposed increase by $35 dollars for the
next academic year. I also advocate on
a statewide level for our students and
have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the
works at our home campus. I've also
spearheaded the coded memorandum on
shared governance for our CSU. This
ensures the accountability of having a
student on an administrative committee
/ initiative to voice the student perspective.
Valdivia: What is your stand on the
idea and planning for the new University Student Union?
Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy
in the process. It will clearly benefit the
whole community at CSUSM. Faculty
and staff in our administration should be
included in the fee implementation, not
just students, since it will enhance our
community as a whole.
Valdivia: What has been the best
part of being ASI President?
Hoang: The best part is standing by
the side of my fellow students each day.
To give my best, everything that I am to
engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege,
Valdivia: What has been the biggest
challenge as ASI President?
Hoang: The biggest challenge is the
learning curve. I have stepped up to
this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI
101 living transition manual so that any
f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in
order to deliver results for the students
of CSUSM.
Valdivia: Any additional thoughts
you would like to share with students?
Hoang: ASI is here for you if you
seek anything on your home campus
to be improved, enhanced, or changed,

Alternative fuel vehicles are in your future
Are you torturing yourself with lack of sleep?
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Although the small scale nuclear
reactor found in a Delorean may
sound like a nice alternative for
fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't
be a viable option. Don't despair as
plenty of realistic options are in the
works with many already on the
road Fossil Fuel freedom includes
options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and
even Algae. Could Algae become a
viable fuel source for cars?
While Algae may not propel
your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's
probably got the potential to get your
Scion moving too. In order for algae
to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must
be processed in a manner similar to
converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for
wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has
opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..."
and continues "Of all the options for
future jet biofuel production, algae is
considered one of the most viable."
In this same article the viability of
using biofuels is given credence as
in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew
a 747 partially powered by coconut
andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin
Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is
taking a leadership role in promoting
alternative fuels. —
In an article by Mike Magda on
autobloggreen.com "Branson says

theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded
to many industries. Branson's Virgin
transportation companies, including
Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains,
are going to reinvest profits into
renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels
is expected to be a beneficiary. The
company was already into bioethanol production and researching other
alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson
may be looking at the profit potential
of alternative fuels even as he claims
a concern for the environment One
may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to
say that he is all talk. He is taking a
very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly
option to fossil fuels.
While algae may become an
excellent substituteforfossil fuels in
the future, other options are already
on the road, and more are coming
soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec-
tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural
Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars
commercially available to purchase.
And without regard to the form of
transportation, these alternatives to
fossil fuels can be adapted to work in
planes, trains and automobiles. And
don't forget about the possibility of
pure electric cars.
GM hasn't forgotten about pure
electrics in spite of having pulled the
plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car.
According to the Chevy web site the
'The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive
world is no longer just a rumor. In
feet, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it's unlike any other vehicle

Is there chemistry between students
and the new C HEM 2 50 lab?
Tuesday
March
10, 2009
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Despite budget cuts and cancelled
classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before
offered by CSUSM.
Background Info; Previously, both
chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course
and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab.
Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course.
This method worked well for quite some
time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This
is because non-chemistry majors such
as pre-med students were not required
to take CHEM 275 but just needed
an accompanying lab for professional
degree purposes. Therefore, instead of
taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was
given, forcing them to take on a course
they really did not need. For chemistry
majors, however, taking the required
CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM
25Ò allowed them to save time.
Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this
dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was
developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students
who are not chemistry majors to get a
second semester of 'general chemistry
lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes-
sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt,
the current Chem 250 course instructor.
None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors
or pre-med students, since they can still
take the CHEM 250 lecture without the
lab, just as before.
I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng
currently teaches the new CHEM 250
lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science
in Chemistry and had the honor of being
Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average),
has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and
an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008
recipient for the President's Award for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
from CSUSM. Because of her expertise
in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé
prestigious honor of creating the CHEM
250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is
a lot of hard work but this opportunity
is a privilege. She employs a variety of
educational tools such as worksheets,
pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software
Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon
the next week's lab and mini-lectures
the day of the lab to reiterate important
points and reminders. "The new CHEM
250 lab will usually be offered every
spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will
most likely be offered in both fall and
spring semesters," Ng says.
Lab Response: Students have both

Horror films used to be about
building tension and keeping
viewers on the edge of their seat.
Now, since films like "Saw" and
"Hostel," horrorfilmshave become
all about blood and mutilation.
Real thrills in horror films come
from fear leading to the violence,
not the actual deaths. This film has
potential if it can maintain a high
level of anxiety in viewers.
Also out this week are

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

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

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

As I 'm sure you read about in
my last article (you read it right? I
mean, you'd really hurt me if you
didn't read it), recovering f rom a
relationship is your first priority.
Never are you to put yourself or
your potential p artner at risk of
getting hurt or in a position to not
receive your f ull commitment.
Make sure you're ready to
commit again, don't j ust go f or a
" booty call," otherwise I 'll find
you and kick you in the face. Make
sure to b e r espectful, take your
time, but also understand that
you can't wait too long. You never
know when something amazing
might pass you by. Obviously if
you j ust got out of a 2 or 3 year
relationship (for example), take
the appropriate time you need to
get things straightened out with
your ex, establish a support network or f riends and family, then
move on.
If you do so happen to find that
special someone again, make sure
that person knows and understands your past relationship and
how you're feeling about it now.
Please don't tell them that you're

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

flicts with CSUSM's policy of nondiscrimination. The Academic
Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and
comments submitted online, will
address these concerns as they
make their decision.
"The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a
recommendation whether or not

for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the

From here to there, Dr. Seuss remembered everywhere
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
How many can remember m aking
green eggs and ham in elementary
school or the f irst time they read " The
Cat in the H at?" What about the yearly
tradition of watching "How the Grinch
Stole C hristmas" on C hristmas Eve?
For creating such a staple in American
pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall
the f ull name of the man behind these
iconic c haracters and children's books.
Even Google changed its faceplate
this past Monday, March 2, to honor the
b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor
' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly
known as Dr. Seuss.
The Random House website
dedicated to all things Seuss
related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on
the author.
Geisel was born on March 2,
1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his
mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother,
who worked in a pie bakery
in her youth, used to chant the
pie names to customers and
in t urn, would use the same
chants like nursery rhymes
to calm Geisel when he had
trouble sleeping.
For someone who w rote such
moralistic c hildren's stories,
Geisel's early y ears as a college student not so i nnocent.
Geisel a ttended D artmouth

Oxford University awarded him a fellowship. His father was so excited that
he told their local newspaper to report
the story. Geisel then confessed
that Oxford denied his fellowship and his
f ather had

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

C ougar News Network
C N N to report on campus events and highlights
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM Programming Council is a
collaboration of many departments here
on campus. The Programming Council
includes departments such as Associated
Students, Inc., Athletics, The Clarke Field
House/University Student Union, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student Life & Leadership, University Village Apartments, among others. One of the
main purposes of the Programming Council is to come together to develop a calendar
showcasing student events that connect to
the campus.
Recently, three students, Emily Rehm,
Nicholas Stein and Sean Richards started to
collaborate with the Programming Council
to feature a brand new student news show
that presents campus events.
Cougar News Network (CNN) is
CSUSM's student news show. Rehm, Stein,
and Richards currently work for CNN.
Rehm and Stein both anchor the news show
under the personalities of Locksley Choz
and Dusty Butterworks. While Richards,
as Jet Michaels, mainly reports on campus
events. CNN is currently doing a monthly
episode featuring highlights around campus
life.
The Pride had the opportunity to interview two of CNN stars, Dusty Butterworks
and Jet Michaels.
Diana: What does CNN stand for?
Dusty: CNN stands for Cougar
Jet: News
Dusty: Network
Diana: How do you come up with the
idea?
Dusty: Well actually Nick Stein is in
the Orientation Team and they did a video
on the Orientation Team where they were
newscasters and it kind of sprouted off that
with someone that works down in the studio
at the library he kind of had a good idea for
us to start a student news show.
Diana: What is CNN about? What do you
do?
Dusty: You want to take this one Jet.
Jet: Well CNN is all about getting the
word out for the people on campus in a fun
and chicky way instead of sitting there and
watching the power points. It's all about
the students, it's all about getting the word
to students. It's them first and then me, Jet
Michaels and then my man Dusty right
here.
Dusty: Building a community.
Jet: Getting them interested in what is
going around in their campus and getting
into school pride. It's all about Cougar
Town. It's all about Cougar Pride and
Cougar Town.
Diana: What do you enjoy the most of
working in CNN?
Jet: Well Jet Michaels being the reporter
in the field that I am I just get into people's
face, the awkward conversations that you
wouldn't initiate that reaches the truth personality of who you are looking for. As
Jet Michaels that's what I look for the real

Jet: What do you got Dusty, anything?
Dusty: Well I just can stress enough to
get involved. You know what I am mean.
Jet: The more you are involved, college is
supposed to be fun. We kind of have a small
school. A lot of things can get started. My

The movie is a film adaptation of the tales of comic book

expect a bloody, action-packed,
and visually stunning film.
The film promises to be entertaining for those who have not
read the comic book as well.
The story is about a group of
superheroes seeking revenge for
the death of a colleague set in
a different version of society in
1985.
Other than that, there is ntft
much to say about the h andful
of limited release films debuting
this week. There are two foreign films, "12" and "Tokyo!,"
which might appeal to the artloving crowd. "12" has earned
awards and acclaim, but may be
too serious for the average filmgoer.
The huge comic book fan base
and slick advertising campaign
will put "Watchmen" on top of

the box office. It has the potential
to make a tremendous amount of
money.

A post Valentine's D ay hangover
BY BLAINE MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It is strange how t hings work
out. On the week celebrating
St. Valentines, no movies were
in the queue that r eflected the
h eart of the moment. T his week
delivers broken h earts and
broken people. Well, mostly
j ust broken men. A fter watching these f ilms, I began to
wonder, 'Are we men as a species truly so d efective?' While
most women would likely
answer yes, Tmly a t ruly h onest
man would answer the same.
So let's take a deeper look at
this week's DVD selections
f eaturing love and men at their
worst.
"My Name Is Bruce." This
film stars cult movie star Bruce
Campbell. Bruce does pretty
much anything other than mainstream Hollywood fare. Bruce
is the glue that holds together
campy productions. His work
ranges from the "Evil D ead"
trilogy to cult classic television with "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and h is own spin
off of these shows "Jack of All
Trades." He then he goes back to
the big screen fighting mummies
as Elvis Presley in "Bubba-HoTep." In this film Bruce portrays
himself. J eff, one of Bruce's
biggest fans, removes , a talisman f rom a m ineshaft entrance
and in the process releases the
dreaded Bean Curd Demon.
Taylor Sharpe in his first movie
role plays J eff, and fills the role
j ust fine. With no idea where to
t urn, or who to t urn to, Jeff kidnaps Bruce and drives him back
to his small town in the middle
of nowhere. J eff's mother Grace,
played right in tune with the
production by Grace Thorsen,
is Bruce's foil and love interest.
She exposes whatever flaw's
there are in Bruce that he didn't
already expose. As lightweight
as this film is, the overall experience is a f un time. If you are
a Bruce Campbell fan, you will
have f un. If not, you'll probably
have a good time too. What to

"My Best Friend's Girl." This
f ilm opens in such a vile and
o ffensive m anner that it openly
dares you to t urn it o ff. Watching Dane Cook as the cretin
lead character Sherman " Tank"
Turner, you have to wonder how
m ankind has survived. Tank is
the foulest, r udest, boisterously
s elf-centered, egotist to walk
the f ace of the E arth. The f ilm
dares you to stick it out, and I
took the dare. The s ofter side
of this f ilm was captured by the
lovely Kate Hudson, in the role
of Alexis. Alexis is not p erfect,
she is not looking for love,
and she is (over)actively being
pursued by Dustin, played by
Jason Biggs, Tank's cousin
and roommate. Alexis has no
romantic interest in Dustin at
all. Although Dustin pursues
heavily, it is to n o avail. It is
time to call in Tank, the AntiHitch.Where Witt Smith would
train men to be b etter men to
win the girl, Tank is the t rain
wreck that shows the girl how
good her no good b oyfriend is.
Nicely done is the typecasting of Alec Baldwin as Tank's
father, who is a Professor of

Performance art, Dagnabit!
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
When the word "guerilla" is heard, it
often conjures up images of war, violence, and sabotage. To use it to describe
art and performance is not typically what
springs to people's minds. However,
a student run organization on campus
called Dagnabit Productions is looking to change that. This organization is
comprised of students who participate in

improvisational presentations. In these
showings, they exhibit performance art
and illustrations on campus. Their first
performance, which took place last Tuesday in the dome, involved the members
freezing in place for five f ull minutes at
12:30. Exactly five minutes later, they all
began their normal routines once again.
While impromptu performances like
this may be interesting to watch and also
create conversation, why would students
do this? "Our goal is to promote performance, art and creativity on campus and
to create a sense of community amongst
the art students" said Arielle Rosenbaum,
the organizer of the group. "We welcome
all ideas about how to f urther the arts at
CSUSM, from performance and art installations to political statements. Our group
is mostly made up of art students, but we

Twilight Story
Joseph A rthur a nd the Lonely Astronauts
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Bella heard breathing heavily
behind her, followed by the unmistakable sound of tearing foil. She
felt herself shaking, small tremors encasing her body with an
overwhelming sense of fear and
anticipation. One trembling hand
glided down the curve of her back
and she arched back into its touch
with an equally uneasy sigh. She
moaned again as it settled on her
hip, Edward's ghostly touch holding her steady.
She heard herself moan Edwards
name as he pushed into her, hips
rising after the sensation, there
was no discomfort just a rapid
spreading glow. Bella felt the mattress shift as Edward climbed
up behind her. Both of Edward's
hands gripped Bella's hips, Bella
felt the tremors running through
Edward's body as he aligned himself. Bella felt an answering shudder in her own as Edward entered
her. Bella felt the heat rise in the
swell of her back as she pushed to
meet Edward, eager and wanting,
each met need only igniting a further desire.
I've yet to determine whether
it is of greater benefit for me to
plug unknown musicians or just
talk about who I want, famous or
otherwise. Should I feel a moral
inclination to promote starving
artists with indiscernible smidgens of talent to equally starving
college students? Well, probably,
but what do I care if an album
sells?
I know I don't need to worry
about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's
Records in Encinitas delivered a
rack promising her latest album,
Changing of the Seasons. I should
mention that the rack was empty.
Ane Brunvoll, better known
as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian
singer/songwriter and co-founder
of DetErMine Records with The
Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She
didn't take up music until she
was about 21 years old, and she
released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan,fiveyears
later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European
spotlight, garnering speed as it
crossed the Atlantic and landed
in America. Not until her third
studio release, Changing of the
Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows
truly raise across the pond.

I should be surprised to have
seen this bare rack, but I'm not.
I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment
sold out in this little corner of
the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you
might see in faces of green musi-
cians on the streets playing for
anyone who will* listen. But
she's good. Think Nick Drake
plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity.
The album'sfirsttrack, "The
Treehouse Song," is made
of organic acoustics with a
tempo guaranteed to induce
some head nods. Shallow
drums are the foundation for
a reserved strum and bassline.
Her clean soprano is rich with
vibrato and layered harmonies, breathing a story of a lost
lover's dream. As simple as
Brun's compositions are, they
haunt whatever minds they
visit until their otherworldly
business is finished.
I should label Ane Brun as
an Indie musician, the kind of
musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of
collecting some street cred. I
should wonder who bought
those albums at Lou's, and
if they realized what they
bought. So, is she famous?
Maybe not, but she should be.

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

N e w University Student Union to enhance campus life
Feedback from students to benefit the final product
BY DIANA VALDIVIA
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is a relatively new
campus that continues to grow in
many aspects. One of the aspects
that the university is taking into
consideration is the planning and
construction of a new student
union. The University Student
Union is currently located in the
Clarke Field House.
The overall purpose of a new
University Student Union is to
strengthen a sense of community
and enhance campus life. A new
University Student Union would
give students a greater space for
programming, student centers,
student government offices, and
gathering spaces. It would also
include retail and food services.
Last spring, the university conducted survey methods to see
how students felt about building a
new student union. In more than
1,200 online surveys completed
by students, 16 intercept interviews, and focus groups consisting of 51 students: approximately
34% see it as a very high priority
for CSUSM to construct a new
University Student Union, about
30% think of it as a high priority,
and only 3% believed it is a very
low priority for CSUSM.
Last December, President
Haynes approved alternative consultation for the advisory process
of building a new University Student Union. Alternative consultation is one of the two options for
building a new University Student
Union. The other option would be
to conduct a referendum.
The same month the Student Fee Advisory Committee
reviewed the information and a
presentation of the concept of
building a new University Student Union.
The alternative consultation
includes a bigger opportunity
for students' input. It is currently
offering open forums for general
student body, faculty, and staff.
There are also specific forums
for ASI Board of Directors, University Student Union Advisory
Board, presidents and treasurers
of student organizations, Orientation Team, and Student Affairs
Leadership Team.
The alternative consultation
also includes online forms students can fill out to voice their
opinions and give feedback.
During the rest of February and versity Student Union Task Force

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

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

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

Rock stars g o to college too

Rock and Roll has never

Many of the most prominent
rockers and singers are college

From American Idol stars,
to punk rock legends, many
famous musicians conquered
the college world as well as
the music universe.
Bad Religion's frontman,
Greg G raffin, may not look
like a brain, but underneath
his punk rock shell, he is a
man of science. The title of his
PhD Zoology thesis: "Monism,
Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives
from Evolutionary Biology,"
concentrated on prehistoric
evolution, with a philosophical emphasis on the dynamics
between evolution and religion. G raffin worked as the
principal investigator with the
Cornell University Evolution
Organization (cornellevolutionproject.org). G raffin also
challenged his intellect by
becoming a professor at UCLA,
he taught Life Science 1. "I

UCLA student newspaper.
G raffin wasn't only academ,,
ically inclined. In the early
days of Bad Religion as an
unsigned artist, G raffin took
a business risk and started
his own record label, Epitaph.
Epitaph later fathered other
great punk bands like The
Offspring, Pennywise, NO FX
and Rancid that revolutionized
the stale punk era of the 1990s.
His music endeavors never
cramped his academic style,
but instead complimented one
another. Bad Religion's 13
Album, "Empire Strikes First,"
took a very serious and political stance on the U.S. government's reactions to 9/11. Graffin's intellectual charm seeps
in the song "Let Them E at

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

RX Stress herbal tea
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
Arizona teas, particularly the
Green tea, are widespread in their
popularity these days. The drinks
have varied flavors (the Arnold
Palmer is a favorite), are relatively
cheap (99 cents for a tall can), and
taste a lot less terrible than Powerade. The gimmick ofthe Arizona
Beverage company (ironically
located in New York and Canada)
is that its teas offer a healthy alternative to sodas and contain the
all-important buzzword: "antioxidants." While it is true that some
teas contain antioxidants that can
help prevent certain cancers, technically McDonald's can make the
same claim with the tomatoes it
puts on its Big Macs.
Passing by the usual flavors, the
Arizona RX Stress Herbal Iced
tea is a little bit harder to find. The
unique faded labeling makes the
bottles stand out, making them
seem more like bottles of oldtimey snake oil than the usual
sugar water. The label claims that
it is a "refreshing all-natural tonic"
but also advises, "This product is
a food, not a drug," which seems
to be strange claim for a bottled
liquid to make. The liquid itself
has a dark amber coloration with
the consistency of whiskey or
apple juice. This was in stark contrast to the bright yellow color of
the RX Energy tea, which was,
quite frankly, terrifying.
The RX drinks (Stress and
Herbal) are the only two herbal
teas Arizona offers. The main differences between these and the
regular teas is that they
have significantly less
sugar (a 15 gram difference) and instead of
having 100% Vitamin C, contain
25% of your daily
value of vitamins B6 and B12.
In addition, this
drink is caffeinefree, which in itself
is a miracle to find
in almost any other
liquid (even water).
While drinking,
the tea tastes like
a balanced battle
between the two
main ingredients,
black tea and green
tea. The black tea is
definitely present, but
the green tea rounds it out with
sweetness before a bitter taste
is detected. The thing particularly nice about this tea is that
it has more the consistency of
real teas, and is less syrupy
than the regular Arizonas.
So, will the RX Stress
relieve stress? Perhaps, if
being really thirsty stresses
you out more than anything.
However, in comparison to other drinks that
are packed with sugar,
caffeine, and bogus
supplements, it is
the better choice.
Containing calming tea ingredients like chamomile and ginseng, it will help
you a lot better
after a long day
of classes than
chugging a Monster will. So if
you are looking
for a refreshing
beverage, pick
it up. It will not,
however, cure
your sinus infection.

The W orld's Easiest
The Money Pit
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
The Money Pit is a new drivethru restaurant in San Marcos.
Located on the corner of Mission
and Bennett Ave a few miles east
of CSUSM, it is short trip, even
by bike or walking. The owner,
Demetri Kellafinos, took over a
long deserted bank and turned
it into a family run restaurant.
Demetri and his son Artemios,
'Arte', built the Money Pit themselves. "We put in every nail,
screw, and tile," Arte said.
The Money Pit first opened
in December 2008, employing
about 25 workers.
Their motto is "We don't cook
the food till you order it." All
of the food is prepared in-house
and made fresh. The menu runs
the gamut from breakfast foods,
to burgers, sandwiches, and
salads. There is also ice cream
and pastries for the sweet tooth.
The chocolate shake is thick
and chocolaty. Their prices are
well within the starving student
budget with a full meal available
for under $6.00.
"We wanted the food to be
affordable," Arte said.
The whole project speaks to
ingenuity and hard work. Arte
points out that the tile floor is all
recycled tile from the bank or
discarded tile chips from local
tile stores. The décor is a collage
of pictures,filmposters, and real
money from the US and other
countries as well as monopoly
money and poker chips. The old
vault door is center stage, with
the vault now used for dry storage.
Almost all of the film posters
refer to money in some fashion:
Fist Full of Dollars, The Bank
Job, Oceans 11 and others. On
the ceiling over the cashier's
counter is $250 worth of pennies, "each one of which I put up
there with glue," Arte recalled
with a slight grimace. The wood
tables and benches all have some
kind of money under glass. On
one table is an old monopoly set
that Arte said they used to play
with as kids. "We emptied out
our garage and shopped the swap

James B. Beam Distilling Co.
distills and bottles Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
in Frankfort, Kentucky. Over 200
years ago, the German Boehm
family migrated to early America.
Through the years the distillery
business remained in the family lineage. Officially, the company sold
their distillery in 1920 as Prohibition
began. In 1933, when Prohibition
ended, the company built a new distillery. In 1946, Jim Beam became
a global brand. In 2007, Fred Noe
III, the founder Jacob Beam's greatgreat-great-great- grandson, took
ownership.
I'm going to break the third person
mode for this article. I know it's tasteless, but this is a tasty treat that my
brother and I created two years ago.
My brother had recently moved back
to California after having lived in
Georgia for two years. We
were and are very close.
Needless to say, when he
returned we had a lot of
catching up to do.
One night we were
rummaging through
the kitchen. We had
a bottle of Jim Beam
and some Dr. Pepper.
Having grown up
with our dad taking
oversized jumbo cups
of Dr. Pepper to work
every day, we had to
carry the tradition by always having
Dr. Pepper in the home. I broke
family tradition and became a Diet
Coke drinker but that story is for
another time. We can't recall who
actually created it. We kind of just
looked at each other without saying
words. Our inner consciences were
talking. He grabbed the Jim Beam,
and I the Dr. Pepper. We nicknamed
the drink "The Beamer." The rest is
Thompson history.
To create the pleasantly sweet
tasting beverage, fill a cup with three
fourths of ice. Add one ounce of Jim
Beam per half cup of Dr. Pepper.
Let the foam dissipate before enjoying. Try it with Diet Dr. Pepper for
fewer calories or switch out Dr.
Pepper for Diet Coke and enjoy a
"Creamer." For extra pizzazz, add a
few slices of peach without the skin
for an extravagant delight If serving more than one, refer to them as
"The Beam Team."
With any alcohol infused occasion
exercise caution
and
license plates and other odds
and ends."
The Pit appeals to young
and old alike with its good
food, low prices, interesting
décor, and music from the
60s and 70s. Patrons say they
like the food, the atmosphere,
and easy access with seating
inside and out.
Demetri came to the US
in 1974 from Greece as an
undocumented alien. He
has worked in the restaurant
business for years. His latest
dream began to take shape
toward the end of 2007 when
he finally acquired the old
bank. With a year in the planning and getting licensing, and
several months rehabilitating
the interior, Arte says, "It's
nice to see things finally get
going and making money."

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix all the ingredients except
the chips in a large bowl using a
large spoon or mixer. When the
batter is uniform, add the chips
and mix until they are evenly distributed.
3. Using a spoon or cookie

Tip: Changing the cake mix and chips can create other delicious

other combinations, but Angel Food and Funfetti cake mixes never

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

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

CSUSM announces

Brakebill Award
recipient
CoBA Professor J orjani
recieves coveted award
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
On Nov. 18, the Office of the President announced Dr. Soheila Jorjani as the
2008-09 recipient of the Harry E. Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award, the
highest award the university can present
to a professor.
Jorjani is a professor of the Department
of Information Systems and Operations
Management in the College of Buisness
Administration. CSUSM President Karen
Haynes awarded Jorjani based upon recommendation of the Faculty Awards
Committee.
In a letter from the President, Haynes
states, "Dr. Joijani exemplifies the true
spirit of the Brakebill Award; she is an
extraordinary faculty member who has
made outstanding contributions to her
students, to her academic discipline,
and to our campus community. In every
aspect of her 16-year career at Cal State
San Marcos, she has shown tremendous
dedication to academic excellence, and
she has been an inspiration to her students
and her colleagues alike."

President's Boardroom in Craven Hall 5302.
The forum opens thefloorto all students. Students can ask any question and receive a direct
response from President Haynes.

attend the student open forum. These are the
meetings where [students] can really learn
something from the president and [students]
can also teach her what campus life looks like
from [their] perspective," said Professor
of Education and Chair of the Academic
Senate Janet McDaniel.
The President's Faculty Open Forum
occurs Thursday, Dec. 4, during University Hour in Markstein Hall 101. The forum
takes place twice each semester. Similar to
the President's Student Open Forum, the

'American film'. It is confusing
why some films are recognized

no reason involved in naming a
film 'American.'
For example, in 2006, they
awarded United 93 as one of the
bestfilmsof the year. Yet, a British
director, Paul Greengrass, made it.
This year they awarded The Lord
of the Rings as one of the best

Jackson made it in New Zealand.

Farewell from the Managing Editor
BY BEN ROFFEE
Managing Editor
Dear Readers,
As we approach the end of
the semester and the Pride's
operations wind to a close, we
are called upon to reflect on the
events and stories that have come
to define this past semester. In
just a few short months, our
country seemed in quite a rush
to make history and CSUSM
definitely acted in part. Over
the course of this brief span of
time I have had the distinct honor
and privilege of being a part of
a team dedicated to reporting on
this historic period through the
perspective of a college campus.
Even with all of the passion
for journalism in the world, it is
impossible to have a successful
paper without chemistry in the
newsroom. The editors and staff
here at the Pride are as much
my colleagues as they are my
friends, and without their support
and comical distractions I doubt
I could have ever kept my
sanity. There is no other group
of people I can think of that
I 'd rather spend the countless
frustrated and weary hours with
than with thè people I've been
fortunate to call my coworkers
for the last year and a half. Their
tireless dedication to keeping
this ship afloat deserves much
more thanks than I can give and
should command the respect of
all of you. A special thanks goes
out to Viri, who filled some big
shoes and taught me more than
I could ever want to know about
this craft. It is likely that I wont

still expect to see me floating

The College ofBusiness is proud

structured contact with the president, so this is a place that allows

Fifteen faculty members attended them to be in direct face-to-face
contact. President Haynes is very

"The purpose of the event is to good about answering questions

about something."
The financial crisis' impact on
the California State University
budget aims to be an important
topic of discussion in the faculty
open forum.
"A good example is the current
budget situation. The open forum
is an invitation to express whatever you want to the president.
She needs and wants to hear from
faculty. It helps her to see the faculty's perspective, which may well
be different from her own as the
chief administrator of the campus.
It also allows faculty to hear the
administrator's perspective. So it
can be a great two-way learning
experience," said McDaniel.
McDaniel also encourages faculty
to attend the faculty open forum.
"No question is too big or too
small."
He then explained the long and
tedious process of creating the
organization.
Guest speaker Chief Information Officer Wayne Veres followed Morris.
"Everything is changing.
Sometimes I dread or enjoy this

Veres then gave a brief history

some of the hot IT sectors that
students should consider.
" That's a good question.

Professor Leu then took over
the meeting. He began by insisting that he only be called Jack.
"Get to know the faculty.
There are only seven MIS f aculty members and each of them
should be able to call you by
your first name," said Leu.
He then explained MIS major
requirements and other CoBA

The meeting ended with a
raffle. The r affle included an
iPod, external hard drive enclosure, laptop c arrying bags,
and even a woman's purse that
several male students politely
declined.

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

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

Mint.com is a unique Web
site designed to help people
with budgeting and debt management. The Web site o ffers
a f ree service that tracks personal spending and helps
manage money.
Any Internet user can register for a f ree account. To sign
up users must choose a username and password and input
checking account and credit
and debit card information.
Mint.com will track spending
and creates understandable
data on spending habits.
The site is an automatic way
for a person to look at their
expenditures. Mint.com forms
the data into c harts based on
where money is spent or what
the consumer buys. Unlike
other budgets, which require
data entry, this site is automatic and easy to use.

Though it may seem risky
his site against claims that it user can use the site's àutomatic programming to create to enter b anking and money
could lead to identity t heft.
In and interview with Forbes
he claimed that the site uses
Yodlee, and independent company used by other f inancial
groups to track spending.
Patzer states, "Mint is, in
some ways, safer than online
banking." Mint does not allow
changes to a bank account,
only a look at spending history. The site also o ffers text
and email updates, so the user
can constantly monitor spending and notice unusual purchases.
The site is very user friendly.
It is visually appealing and
easy to navigate. Mint also
o ffers other b enefits. The site
can o ffer suggestions based on
current spending on how an
individual can save money.
These suggestions range
f rom spending tips, to coupons, to new credit card o ffers.

According to the site, "The

Twilight Poem
Dear Edward,
You mesmerize me
With your pale, cold skin
With every breath you take
The smell luring me in
Too many thoughts clouding
my head
My heart starts to race
As you draw me near
Despite all I know
I have no fear
There's something about you
T hafs good and pure
Your touch drives me wild
Sends shivers down my spine
Loving you so much
Should be a crime
You tell me your dangerous
That I should run
But somehow the love that
binds us
Won't come undone
In the Twilight, your eyes
sparkle
A bright golden hue
Could this really be true?
This god-like creature
That no one could catch
For somehow I 'm your perfect
match
There's only one problem
One I can't deny
There's a part of you
That craves for more than a kiss
Something I can't give you
Or I wouldn't exist
As you take me up so high
And welcome me to your world
I wonder if I 'll ever go back
Argyle
BY KRISTINA LAWLER
Business Manager
To being a normal teenage girl
You tell me that you'be waited
A century for me
How can I compare to that
Im merely seventeen.
One day I hope to be
Part of your kind
So we can be together
Until the end of time
The decision is made
My mind made up
Now I just need you
To realize it too
My life is nothing
If I can't have you.

THE PRIDE
Enj oy great tasting drinks
The semester is
winding down yet
again. For most students, winter break is
a mere blip between semesters. While stu-
dents are going to spend their four week
break doing various things, one thing is for
sure, most will spend time with family and
friends while enjoying great food and delicious drinks.
Students should look out for bargains.
Most retailers offer huge discounts on
food and beverages throughout the holidays. Good beers, wines, and champagnes
doriothave to rack up frequentflyerpoints
on the credit cards.
As responsible Cougars, please enjoy
all alcoholic beverages safely during the
holidays. Raise your glasses. Until next
semester. Cheers!

The Lagunitas Brewing Company brews
and bottles their seasonal Brown Shugga' in
Petaluma, California. Tony Magee founded
the brewery in 1993 in Lagunitas, California.
Like most start up breweries, the company
outgrew available capacity and moved to
Petaluma. Currently, the company distributes
brew throughout 20 states. The brewery only
uses water, hops, yeast, and malted barley to
produce batches of beer.
BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce bottles of Brown Shugga' for $9.99. A
cream, red, green, and surprisingly
black color comprise the packaging.
The cardboard container features a
dog and mistletoe. The bottles contain Jg
almost the same imaging. A metallic *
red bottle top, featuring the compa.ny's name and logo, seals the ale with
a staggering alcohol by volume of f
9.9%. The ale's ABV is almost twice |
the amount of normal beers.

gravitatesfromthe top of the glass.
The first sip sends a ravishing tidal
wave of flavor to the taste buds and
tongue. T h e c heeks quiver in awe. The composition of the brew makes up for the lack
of head in the original pour. The ale leaves
a thick coating of wholesome goodness
before descending below deck. The beer's
boldness should pair well with spicy and flavorful foods.
"It's got a little bit of sourness to it. It's a
good fall beer. It has enough taste for a complexity beer but it won't alienate you," said

such as the Rueben and specialty burgers.
Also available are classics such as turkey,
tuna, and egg salad.
Amidst the breakfast food, sandwiches,
and meals, the biscuits and gravy steal the
show. For only $5.95, plus tax, one can enjoy
a choice of potato andfluffybiscuits covered
in gravy. This small plate willfillyou and is
both delicious and a bargain.
The pies are also notable at Debbie's.
Right as one walks in the door, the two pie
cases are visible, including the traditional
turning glass style. They have a wide variety
of fruit and cream pies priced whole and by
the slice. Though they are all tasty, be sure to
ask which are the freshest.
Though it may not be the most gourmet
food at Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop,
the customers keep coming back for the restaurant's quality food and excellent service.
The food is well done and the prices are fair.
Debbie's is a great place to go for a taste of
home and a quick bite that will not cost too *
much.
Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop is
located on Nordahl Drive iñ San Marcos
acrossfromthe Wal-Mart Plaza. The restaurant is in a tight spot in a strip mall with window's boasting festive décor. It is only a few
minutes from campus and worth the short
drive for diner and home-style meals.
Though it looks unimpressive from the
outside, inside Debbie's is afineplace to eat.
The inside is tan and pale and there is not a
great amount of room. They also cater to an
older crowd, as seen in their early bird specials and senior's menu.
Yet, despite what looks like an unassuming
place to eat, the food at Debbie's is fantastic.
They serve a mix of diner and home-style food
all day long. Though they have limited hours,
the food is a great value any time of the day.
First, breakfast classics donerightstock the
menu. Diners can enjoy a selection of combo
plates or omelets that are very tasty. The hash
browns are perfectly crisp and flavorful and go good with any of the
morning meals served all day.
Also on the menu are a variety
of sandwiches and hamburgers. • K'MMIi^BBBinif^I W BsflHHI
Patrons can get just about any sandwich the proverbial mother would

Countless
essays and theses
have b een written about Orson
Wells'
"Citizen
Kane."
Many
filmmakers and
critics consider it
the best movie ever made. Yet,
at almost 70-years-old, one may
wonder if it still has the same
potency.
I find that many people have
not seen the film, even though
they are aware of its reputation. This raises the question of
if it has lost impact since aging.
Before people p ass judgment on
the film, they should at least first
see the film.
Sadly, p art of the reason people
hesitate to see "Citizen K ane" is
because they are hung up on the
fact that it is so old and in black
and white. O ur generation is miss-

ing brilliant films because
they cannot get around the
f act that they are in black
and white.
"Citizen K ane" has
lost appeal to most youth,
besides those passionate
about films. This is because
they may not understand
the art and significance of
the film. Director Orson
Wells revolutionized the industry
with this film.
First, the storyline of the film
advanced the uses of narrative
elements in a film. The non-linear
story has bearings on all the films
before it. Examples of movies
using such intelligent narrative
elements are rare.
A s well, cinematography was
highly influenced by Wells.
This film did for movies what
The Beatles did for popular
music. "Citizen K ane" took
the daring first step and masterfully used specially angled
shots, f raming, and r eframing.
T H E PRIDE
The only way t o appreciate f ully
the film is to consider and see
movies made before and a fter it.
Wells was ahead of his t ime and
the repercussions his work are
seen in modern films.
Yet, now most people fail t o
notice his contribution and see
"Citizen K ane " Viewers should
forget that it is black and white,
old, and h as a great amount of
pretension attached to it. It is
highly engaging in both narrative
and style. Everyone should see
t his film.

Destination China
Mystical Guilin
BY ELLIE YAMBRACH
Pride Staff Writer
It is no wonder that for centuries Chinese artists have gained
inspiration f rom Guilin for
many Chinese ink paintings and
poems. The scenery with the
limestone karsts or "jade hairpin
mountains" as the Chinese call
them are only p art of the mystical
nature of this area.
For along with the magnificent scenery, there is a subversive sense of calm. And while
in Guilin this past June I experienced a feeling, rather a necessity
to quiet myself so as not disturb
the underlying reverent spirit of
the region.
Located in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi, about
a three hour flight from Shanghai, Guilin is one of China's most
prosperous cities and is considered one of China's star attractions.
Driving around the area of
Guilin is like taking a step into
the past. Villages consist of
homes that appear to be centuries
old, water buffalo roam the area
and often walk in herds on the
road blocking traffic.
Rice farmers out on the paddies plowing through the mud
behind a water b uffalo have an
eerily historical feature to them
as their image mimics the exact
posture in the
thousands of
p aintings
c re-
ated in the past of farmers performing the same task centuries
ago.
The mystical awe of Guilin is
not j ust a personal feeling. There
is truly a sense of the spiritual
here on a social level. At the Reed
Flute Cave, outside the city of
Guilin, our guide told us a story
about how men used to carve the
reeds growing in the area into
flutes and played songs to call out
the fairies from the cave.
The cave itself is an attraction
that cannot be missed. Not only
do the Chinese strategically light
the inside of the cave to highlight
the fantastic stone creations in
brilliant colors, they also provide
creative names to each stone feature, such as the Crystal Palace,
Dragon Pagoda, the Lion, and the
Turtle and include fairy tales as
well.
The lighting, the names and the
stories all add to the mystery §f
the cave. An underground lake in
the cave spurred a western story
in my mind. The still lake reflecting the ceiling of the cave like a
mirror in the near dark, took my
mind to the scene in J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" where
Bilbo Baggins meets Golum and
finds Golum's lost ring. At any
moment I expected Golum to
creep out of the shadows looking
for his "precioussss."
Of course the main attraction in Guilin is the Li River
cruise. The cruise allows visi-
karsts closer and view life along
the river with roaming water buffalo, fishing cormorants lined up
on bamboo docks, fisherman and
river vendors rowing around on
bamboo rafts. Lasting a total
of four hours, the cruise departs
Guilin, arrives in Yangshou.
Visitors enjoy a view of the
karsts which the Chinese have
named appropriately for their
remarkable images, such as the
Elephant Trunk Rock, Snail,
Hill, Yearning for Husband Rock
as well as the view of the Li River
which is on the back of the 20
Yuan bill.
A buffet is served on the
cruise; however, the crowing
point of lunch was the snake wine
which waitresses offered guests.
In bottles of clear alcohol lay two
or three floating, coiled snakes,
much like the worm in Mexican
tequila.
A regional traditional drink
after meals, snake wine supposedly also maintains a medicinal
quality as well. Those who tried
the wine said it tasted like tequila
with scales.
A fter the cruise we had a short
time in Yangshou at the market.
Yangshou is a delightful little
townsurrounded
by equisite
scenery and
busy streets.
I'd that visitors can take
bicycle tours
of
Yangshou, which
would provide a wonderful way to
connect and
appreciate
the area.
We were
given
a
chance
to
the Guilin Teacher's University
which is one of the foremost art
this university to purchase such
pieces. The prices are reasonable
Photos courtesy ofEllie Yambrach
academies of China. A professor demonstrated the creation of
a charcoal painting and we were
then allowed to view artworks
being worked on by students.
Afterwards we went to the gallery where we could purchase
artworks created by students who
graduated and are now considered as artists in their own rite
and works painted by the university professors.
Anyone interested in traditional Chinese paintings and
calligraphy, should consider
and visitors purchases f und the
university directly.
Guilin cannot be missed on a
trip to China. Although you feel
as though you are in Dr. Seussland amongst the fantastic scenery, the tranquil setting inspires
visitors to slow down and appreciate their surroundings with a
reverence.
Note: take an extra battery for
your camera while on the cruise,
I used mine up within two hours
as I could not stop taking photos
of everything.

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

Ikissyou.org is Mahir Cagri's
personal Web site. He designed
the Web site in 1999 and it became
a quick success that, for some
unknown reason, still exists.

Women's Soccer wins A.I.I Championship
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos has won
thefirst-everAssociation of Independent Institutions (A.I.I) Conference Championship.
Women's Soccer, ranked #2,
blew out #4 Embry-Riddle 6-0
and then defeated first-seeded
Simon-Fraser in a 0-0 tie that

"It's playofftime," said CSUSM

�The name's Bond, Average Bond
B YBILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Tfyere is no g un barrel
sequence at the b eginning of
this film. This piece h as become
a tradition in the Bond f ranchise
and a film icon. Filmmakers
have played with this before, but
never outright removed it. This
is the first of a few grieves with
the average new Bond film.
A fter the incredible success
of "Casino Royale" in 2006,
expectations were high for the
next James Bond film. " Quantum of Solace" takes place
right a fter the end of "Casino
Royale," but there is a definitive
drop in the quality between the
two.
" Quantum" is c ertainly a
watchable and e ntertaining
action movie. Daniel Craig
r eturns as James Bond, whose
mission is to track down members of an international organization responsible f or the death
of his love, Vesper Lynd, in the
previous movie. He walks the
fine line of doing h is j ob and
exacting revenge.
A fter an opening car chase,
the action leads to a global race
around the world. Along the
way, Bond meets Camille, a
Bolivian secret agent, played by
Olga R urylenko, who has a vengeance plan of her own.
Both find they are chasing an
environmentalist named Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu
A malric, to get what they want.
They j oin up to get what they
want and stop Greene's devious
plan involving oil supplies.
There are several inspired
moments of this film. First time
Bond director, Marc Foster, did
a f air j ob. There are two shots
involving f alling o ff a bell tower
and the other of a motorcycle
j ump onto a boat that are awesome. Yet, along the way, the
story s tarts tripping over itself.
For a very simple story of
revenge, the plot is harder to
follow than necessary. Viewers
can get it the first t ime t hrough
if they pay attention, otherwise some may need a second
to u nderstand it. The story also
s uffered because it was fighting with itself over direction.
It kept fighting b etween being a
spy drama and an action movie.
W hile being an e ntertaining
film, it is disappointing " Quantum" did not meet up to the
standards of " Casino Royale." It
did have the same g ritty intensity and unpredictability.
This p erpetuates a tradition
in the Bond f ranchise s tarted by
Roger Moore. A fter a good first
film with a new actor as Bond,
the following film is always
weaker. " Quantum" missed the
mark, but is worth watching.

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

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

Mr. Alpha Chi?
Proceeds to go directly to CSUSM Alumna

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

Constitution restricting marriage as a union between a man
and woman, passed with 52.3%
yes votes (5,668,960) and 47.7%
no votes (5,173,113). Only falling second to the presidential
election, Prop 8 proved the most

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

Cougar Jobs allows students to browse and apply for job postings from anywhere
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Pride Staff Writer
Money is tight, hixeries are slim
and with our country in the midst
of a recession, students who may be
looking for a job canfindit to be a
disappointing and endless task, but
CSUSM students can find relief
through Cougar Jobs.
Cougar Jobs is an easy wayforstudents to access on-campus job postings. Through the Career Center,
Cougar Jobs provides accurate and
timely job listings for students looking for an on-campus job.
Cougar Jobs is accessed through
the Career Center's web page at
www.csusm.edu/careers/cougaijobs.
Cougar Jobs allows employers and

provides students and faculty access
to a job search of all available job

talent pool for the departments."
There is a variety of jobs on
campus to fit the needs of most college students.
"All jobs, full-time, part-time,
internship, etc are posted on Cougar

available to students."
Some exclusive job opportunities
for CSUSM students include research

�Dan Jenkins' The Franchise
Babe hits the mark
BY BRIAN MANN
Pride Staff Writer
Funny, profane, outrageous, and
mildly offensive — It sounds like
a Dan Jenkins novel alright. Jenkins, the legendary sportswriter
and novelist, at 79-years-old, has
released what will likely be his
last work offiction.The Franchise
Babe is full of hilarious moments
as it chronicles the life and times
of Ginger Clayton, a burgeoning
young talent on the LPGA Tour
who, at 18-years-old, is finding
stardom, and many obstacles on
the way. Her great looks and prodigious talent make her the proverbial "Franchise Babe."
Other main players in the novel
are Jack Brannon, a magazine
writer who has left his comfort zone
covering the PGA Tour in favor of
the LPGA, and Thurlene Clayton,
Ginger's mother. These two have
a goofy courtship while trying to
maintain their professional and
parental roles, with Jack trying to
remain an objective journalist, and
Thurlene aprotective parent Along
the way, Ginger is hounded by what
has become all too common in professional sports today: sleazy hangers-on and greedy sports agents.
As the novel winds through, it
pokes fun at how ridiculous the
commercialization of sports has
become. For instance, in the closing chapters, the name of a major
LPGA event is called the "Colgate-Dinah Shore Kraft Nabisco
Le Grand Cheval Championship."
Jenkins uses this as an exaggeration to be sure, but it points out how
the names of sporting events just
keep getting longer and longer due
to corporate sponsoring.
The work further satirizes how
image has become more important than talent when it comes to
endorsements and
how crazy people
can get when large
sums of money are
thrown their way.
Among the other
things the novel
contains: drunken
CEOs making a
mockery of black
tie events, competitors being paid by
overzealous sports
moms to injure
fellow competitors,
and boozy caddies disappearing
with their player's
belongings.
With regard to the
three main characters, the novel has
a rather predictable ending but the
bumps in the road they all find
on the way leave one laughing and unable to put the book
down. "The Franchise Babe"
is not quite as good as some
of Jenkins' past works such as
"Dead Solid Perfect" and "You
Gotta Play Hurt" but it is still
contains his trademark semilowbrow-but-always-funny
style. For a light and easy read
that will make you laugh, "The
Franchise Babe" is a winner

A & E Editor
Creative writing students
from CSUM gathered in
Markstien 125 at 7 p.m. for the
second Creative Writing Community and Workshop reading.
Participants from the creative
writing community at CSUSM
read from a variety of genres
including memoir, poetry,
short fiction, science fiction/
fantasy, and a pantoUm.
Some students read multiple
pieces and other's read a single
large piece. Readings covered
topics on family, immigration, racial equality, relationships, and personal experiences. Presenters included
Molly Dale, April Gigliottie,
Jerrica Escoto, Lori Greenstone, Jayrd Weiss, Melissa
Haklitch, Jaclynn Carbajal,
Andrew Garai, t.d. rust, Stefanie Lamkin, Ellie Yambrach,
Jeannine Clark, and Joseph
Iraggi.
Ellie Yambrach, a Literature and Writing student, has
been writing poetry since her
teen years, ând gave her f irst
reading this Thursday. Yambrach read two of her poems
entitled, Don't Tell Me and
Not Yet. Yambrach says of her
experience, "I wasn't sure how
my poetry would be accepted
by the audience. I hoped that
thé meanings of the poems
and they way I presented them
were clear enough." Yambrach
adds that she would "absolutely"^ give another reading if
the opportunity presents itself
again. Poetry is i m p o r tant to Yamas a method of
expression through "economy
of words." She uses the Creative Writing Community and
Workshop club as tool for peer
evaluation saying of her fellow
creative writing students, "I
respect their opinions and suggestions and wouldn't hesitate
to have them go over my work
and as always, I love to see
theirs in progress."
Jeannine Clark, a Literature and Writing student, read
three of her poems on Thursday night. Clark read Peter's
San Diego inspired by her
mechanic, You Inspire Me,
and Jungle Garden which was
written in her own garden.
Clark expresses why creative
writing is important to her
saying, "It allows me to have a
voice, to discover what's going
on inside of me and to work
out what's going on outside
of me. I feel creative expression is so valuable it takes a lot
of courage to do. Writers are
some of the braves people on
the planet; the pen is mightier
than the sword!"
Another student reading is
tentatively scheduled for the
beginning of December. Students who wish to participate
in the reading should submit
their work to csusmcreativewritingcommunity@gamil.

Cougars find hidden gem in Mama Kat's Restaurant & Pie Shop
BY KRISTINA LAWLER
Business Manager
Hidden in

Mama Kat's
Restaurant & Pie Shop. At first
glance, you wouldn't think that it
was something worthy of your time,
but I assure you that it is something
you don't want to miss out on.
Walking into the restaurant
you feel as if you are magically
transported into a small town in
the mountains, with the homelike atmosphere of your mother's
kitchen. The staff is extremely
friendly and as some regulars come
in, they greet them by name.
The motto around these parts is
"Comfort food at it'sfinest,"and
I would whole-heartedly agree. I
myself have had two different meals
here. My first trip consisted of a
half of a turkey and ham sandwich
with avocado on wheat and a side
of fries. It was, simply put, the best
deli sandwich I have ever had. My
fiance and I spoke little if no words
during our lunch there, because the
food was that good. Other things
they offer for lunch include: hamburgers, griddle sandwiches, salads,
dogs, and chili.
Of course I couldn't just judge a
place on one meal there so I returned
to have breakfast. Their breakfast
menu has so many good choices
that I didn't know what to order.
These choices included: The Great
American Breakfast, their signature
cream sausage gravy, homemade
benedicts including their signature overdone feeling, but rather the it better. So, before you drive all

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

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

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

In the Opinion Article titled,
"Starbucks Charges for Tap
Water," [October 28, 2008], The
Pride allowed for the printing of an
opinion piece that argued the water
at the on-campus Starbucks was
unreasonable. However, the author
failed to incorporate correct information into the piece, thus incorrectly referring to it as "tap water."

that Starbucks does serve water

The transition
from VHS to DVD
was the most exciting change in home
e ntertainment
since the invention
of the television.
The playback features alone made DVDs the best
choice. Along with being physically smaller, having better video
quality, and including 'special
features,' the DVD was definitely
worth switching over to.
Yet they are supposedly inferior
to the shiny new high-definition
Blu-Ray discs. Although Blu-Ray
is better quality, it is not worth the
change thus far. Blu-Ray is fancy

worth the costs.

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

road was widened. We then explored widening the road slightly to make this change.
Unfortunately, the new traffic control signal is too close to the curb to allow
making any significant improvement. In
the end, adding this turn lane would have
required a significant capital outlay that in
the currentfiscalsituation was simply not an
alternative.
To further mitigate traffic congestion we
would encourage everyone to consider using
the Sprinter, even once or twice a week
would significantly help. Monthly passes
can be purchased at Parking Services in the
Foundation Class Room Building behind
Craven Hall. The campus is also installing
additional Bicycle racks for those energetic

ued understanding during these periods of
growth is greatly appreciated.
Although we have seen some improvement, please keep in mind that we will never
be able to "return to the old days" when you
could drive right onto campus without delay.
It seems we have jumped straight from adolescence to adulthood and all the accompanying problems associated with a larger
campus. You have my assurances that we
will continue to monitor the morning traffic,
accept suggestions, and mitigate problems as
they present themselves.

Prop 8 discussion turns into gay bashing seminar
The College Republicans sponsored
what was touted to be an informational lecture and Q & A on Prop 8. The speaker,

His fundamental premise, supported
by a long litany of inferential studies and
statements as to the nature of sex and man,
implied that the only reason for sex is

�CSUSM students can study all around the world
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Pride Staff Writer
Going to school can feel
like vacation, if you're studying abroad.
The CSUSM study abroad
program offers students
the opportunity to study in
Spain, France, England, the
Netherlands, China and Costa
Rica just to name a few. The
opportunities to travel, study
and learn about a different
culture are just a glimpse of
the immense benefits that
studying abroad can do for a
student's academic career.
CSUSM offers a plethora
of programs, 35 programs
in nine different countries
to be exact. Also, CSUSM
exclusively offers 11 student
exchange programs, which
are better known as bilateral agreements, meaning
that when American students
seek to study at an exchange
school, that school's foreign
students can come to CSUSM
to study, according to Tiffany Gabbard, the new study
abroad advisor.
The most popular study
abroad locations are Western Europe, Spain, Italy and
France. The Italy and France
study abroad programs are
particularly for students who
are interested in studying the
language and culture. Hong
Kong, China is another popu-

especially for business
majors.
Japan and the Netherlands
are other study abroad locations that are growing in popularity.
Some of the most unique
locations students can study
abroad are Fiji, Ireland,
Sweden, Denmark, South
A frica, South America, Australia and Israel.
The CSUSM study abroad
program offers a unique program through World Link
Education that enables students to learn the native language while living in the
foreign country. Students
can learn Japanese in Japan,
German in Germany and the
list continues with five other
languages and countries.
Opportunities to study
abroad don't just stop at

"I took Modern Irish Literature and was able to study
W.B. Yeats poems in the very
locations he wrote them. It
was so amazing to see the
pages come to life by reading
about the swans and watch the
swans for myself," McBrayer
said about her study abroad
experience.
"While we were not in
school I had plenty of time
to explore the town and other
areas," McBrayer continued.
Studying abroad can be a
life changing experience and
can help future^ graduates
develop deeper understanding

considered them the most

to h elp them plan for their
journey of a lifetime," Gabbard said.

"If for some reason an

not offered in the location a

be an intra-campus visitor
to another CSU and do their

their students. It opens up
a lot of doors for students to
explore the world," Gabbard
said.
CSUSM features an exclusive opportunity for students
to participate in internship
programs in Australia and
New Zealand. Internships are
available in art, f ilm, broadcasting, even business and
law, according to the Austra
Learn program.
Specific internship programs abroad are a great
addition to a resume, since
only about 1 percent of the
students in the United States
study abroad, according to the

the dangers they face while crossing the desert. With almost all of
the boys being under the age of
12 when they left their villages,
the boys did not have anyone to
keep them safe from the wild
animals except themselves.
Alephonsion Deng, in his
talk to students at Cal State San
Marcos Oct. 9, recounted an
incident in which he was sleeping in one of the refugee camps
with a bunch of other little boys.
He said he felt something above
him and absent mindedly swatted at it. Moments later he woke
to screaming and saw that the
little boy who was sleeping next
to him had a gaping hole in the
side of his face where an animal
had bit him.
During their journey the boys
were often separated from each
other and they faced additional
hardships that most can scarcely
imagine. They walked thousands
of miles in the grueling heat and
the bitter cold. They were faced
with injuries, slavery, starvation,
thirst and all too often death. In
their desperate attempt to survive, at times they ate dirt and
drank their own urine to survive.
However, when they reached
the refugee camps, things were
not much better. They received
rations from the United Nations,
however they were not sufficient.
The cramped quarters and the
unsanitary conditions lead to the State San Marcos directly to the
spread of disease, and they were village that Benjamin, Benson

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

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

Letter to the Editor: Help California's Sickest Kids- Vote Yes on 3
You will have the opportunity
to vote in one of the most historic and important Presidential
elections in American history
You might not realize, however,
that there are several important
California-Specific initiatives you
wijl be asked to consider on the
saâie ballot. Proposition 3 — the
Children's Hospital Bond Act - is
one of those important initiatives.
Children's Hospitals treat the
most serious and deadly diseases
and conditions, including cancer,
heart defects, diabetes, sickle cell
anemia and cystic fibrosis. The
number of children needing care
in California is growing, but thé
space and equipment to treat them
are not.
As the President & CEO of
the California Children's Hospital Association, I can assure you
that Children's Hospitals work
every day to do everything possible to help all of seriously ill
and injured children who count
on us all across the state for
health care. However, California^ Children's Hospitals face
daunting challenges. Each year
more than one m illion children
are treated a t Children's Hospitals. Many are transferred
froin other hospitals that don't
have the resources to treat them.
Children's Hospitals are operating at or near capacity. Without
additional capital investment in
medical equipment and facilities, Children's Hospitals simply
will not be able to meet the needs
of the region's expanding pediatric population.
Proposition 3, the Children's
Hospital Bond Act, would provide
$980 million dollars f or the 13
children's hospitals in,California
to purchase state-of-the-art medical technologies and to expand so
they can make more room to take
care of more kids. Not a penny "Yes" on Proposition 3. Join Senfrom Proposition 3 can be spent ators Boxer and Feinstein, former

acquired. Earlier t his year,
he changed his stance and no

Obama, increase the punishment of companies who hire
illegal immigrants. Primarily,
he wants to ensure the border

This is where the candidates

Have you had your cupcake today? ^
Underground clothing company gains popularity
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
Some fads are j ust that—fads, a temporary trend. While that may be the
case for Boston originated clothing
company, Johnny Cupcakes, one buying
incentive that isn't likely to fade is its
100% manufactured in the U.S guarantee. If the fair trade enticement doesn't
get you, surely the twenty-four-year-old
man behind "Johnny Cupcakes" should
do the trick.
"Customers like and appreciate
the story behind my brand. I

I could
have
made a TON of money real quick, but
I chose quality over quantity," said creator Johnny Earle who inherited his
nickname from a friend. While working
at a silk screening shop making t-shirts
for his old band, On Broken Wings,Earle decided to make a few shirts that
said 'Johnny Cupcakes' on them and the
rest is history.
Johnny Cupcakes kept the business
close to home, having employed twelve
of his closest friends as well as his own
parents. The f irst Johnny Cupcakes shop
opened in 2005 with only three official
stores currently located nationwide;
one in Los Angeles and two in
Massachusetts (Hull and Boston).
A h andful of stores around the
world carry the Johnny Cupcake brand. A complete list
is available at the Johnny
Cupcakes
website—www.
johnnycupcakes.com.
Due to word of mouth and
Internet buzz, Johnny Cupcakes new store openings generated hundreds of eager customers willing to wait in line for
hours to be the f irst to step inside
the bakery inspired clothing stores.
But don't let the growing
appeal fool you, though
the brand is growing,

tight knit and limited.
ft "I'd

customers who
truly enjoy and
appreciate
what
I've created instead
of making a quick
buck trying to get my
shirts in chain stores
across the world — being
just another fad," Earle said.
To keep his product exclusive, Johnny Cupcakes only pro-
duces a limited amount of shirts for
each design. The online store marks
"Last Pressing" warnings for t-shirts
that will soon become unavailable. In
addition to the previous reasons, the
Johnny Cupcake brand is slightly more
expensive than department store clothing because all items are manufactured
in the United States. Johnny Cupcakes
tops range anywhere from $25 (on sale)
to $35 t-shirts with hoodies and jackets
at $65-70.
Surely this story of success could
inspire others to follow an inspiration
or idea but imitating the sensation of
Johnny Cupcakes takes more than daydreaming during class.
"This all didn't happen over night,
I didn't get lucky with some
random idea, I got off my
bum and did something with
myself," advises Earle.
"Everyone thinks of great
ideas every day - it's just
getting the motivation to get
off their butts to actually do
something about it."

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

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

Carlsbad Oceanside art gallery
BY BEN ROFFEE
Managing Editor
For CSUSM students, there
are few places to go and see artwork in North County that are
accessible and affordable. The
Carlsbad-Oceanside Art Gallery, which showcases a variety
of artwork including oil paintings, photography, watercolor,
and mixed media work by local
artists, is one of few places that
does. While the gallery does not
restrict entry to only community
artists, local artists do much of
the work contained in the gallery. The function of the gallery is two-fold, serving both as
a free art exhibition to the public
and as a venue for these artists
to sell their works. To make the
gallery even more interesting,
the artists themselves work the
B pI
gallery. Sarah Totan, an artist
featured in the gallery notes, "If
you are an artist on display here,
you have to sit the gallery." This
unique opportunity gives visitors
the chance to enjoy the works
with the insight of the artists
whose work supports the gallery,
Operated by the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (COAL), the
gallery functions primarily on
volunteer assistance and grants.
The gallery is the fulfillment of
COAL's stated purpose, which
^ K is "to promote art education and
•
cultural appreciation offineart in
the community", making it one of
North County's premiere outlets
flMjjj^BBlg^SM
for
the visual arts. COAL also
boasts its own monthly newsletter The
>
Brushmark, which keeps
readers informed on activities
and exhibitions the organization
plans to hold in the coming month.
Artists are charged a small fee to
hang their work in the gallery, a
measure that helps the COAL to
keep the gallery up and running.
With submissions allowed once a
month, the system in place ensures
the renewal of a fresh cycle of
artwork at the gallery at all times.
October's featured artist is David
Seeley, who has several photographs on display in the gallery.
Other impressive works featured
in the gallery include El Ranchito
Cabazon by Josephine di Salve
and MMM-6 by Robert Boyd.

As Southern Californians collectively remember the one-year
anniversary of the devastating
October 2007 wildfires, students and the community recap
their experiences and emotions
over the catastrophic events that
displaced more than 500,000
Southern Calif, residents.
The 2007 October firestorms
involved more than 23 scattered
wildfires within Southern California. More than 1,700 homes
crumbled to ashes and approximately 330,000 acres burned.
The closest fire to CSUSM was
the Coronado Hills fire that
stretched into the San Elijo
Hills and the Witch fire that
began in Ramona and grew into
an inferno that claimed two
lives as reported by the North
County Times.
Now, one year later, CSUSM
student, Marilyn Salisbury,
recalls how last year's fires hit
close to home. "I lived in Oceanside at the time and I was recovering f rom surgery. Watching
the television was how I got my
information and on the bottom
of the screen they passed houses
that had been lost and I saw my
old address in Rancho Bernardo
listed as a lost home. It was such
a p ainful feeling." Salisbury
previously lived there for three
years.
Salisbury, originally f rom the
Midwest, mentioned that last
October's fires were the first
time she experienced ashes falling f rom the sky, "It was like

A solution to high parking prices
As redundant as it may be t o
revisit the issue, parking permit
prices have been a focal point of
student dissatisfaction for years
now.
The fact that this problem has
sustained for so long suggests
that it is time for CSUSM Parking Service to reevaluate its policies regarding parking permit
prices.
As it currently stands, the
fee program leaves many of
CSUSM's current students footing the bill for a parking structure that they may never get the
chance to use. And though it is
true that students now enjoy parking paid for by our predecessors,
the mystery lies in why the prices
for such a basic service must rise
at such unprecedented rates.
Parking Services have given
many answers to this, but none of
them get to the heart of the question.
It is true that Parking Services is self-sufficient and operates financially independent of
the school, essentially making
parking permits as the primary
sources of revenue for parking
programs.
The cost of new parking projects get more expensive as time
passes and so it is expected that
prices should increase accordingly. In as much as students
can understand the need to pay
for this vital service at a rate
that reflects increasing costs, the
underlying reasoning behind the
In theory, once all of these

However, a payment plan like

our campus, but how much will students who will have inherited
this argument carry when we are an unfair share of the monetary
no longer a young campus and all burden for parking programs.
Instead of graduating payof these projects are paid o ff?
ments, the system should embrace
a long term method of paying for
these projects that flattens out
parking permit rates indefinitely.
It is in this manner that parking
projects can be paid for more
equitably, with the only increases
in permit prices being to account
for inflation.
It is both u nfair and impractical to expect students to assume
such a large financial responsibility for parking if such a responsibility is not fairly distributed.
For this reason, it is critical
that Parking Services reevaluate its permit pricing policies in
the f uture to ensure fairness and
cooperation.

The resurgence of the Western
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The past few
years have a
brought a revival
of the Western
genre in A merican films. The
recently released
" A p p a l o o s a"
owes its success to Westerns
f rom the past few years that
have put new life in the genre.
Not only is the Western back,
but i t's t aking new shape as
well.
The Western film has always
been p art of A merica's identity. In the early stages of films,
Westerns were f requent in most
m ajor film studios. Yet, in the
, late 1980's, there was a diminishing amount of interest in
films by directors such as Clint
Eastwood.
The Western almost came
back in the early 1990's with
"Unforgiven," which won the
Oscar for best picture, but the
revival would have to wait.
The Western laid dormant
for years until it recently began
creeping back into mainstream
cinema.
In 2008, a hybrid film containing heavy Western influence once
again won best picture. The Coen
brothers' "No Country for
Old Men" proved the genre
still had strength.
Leading up to this, the
Western took new shapes
in other setting and
genres. In 2006, the Western, which has p rimarily
been set in A merica, came
out of Australia with stunning force.
" The Proposition" contained
all the elements of an American
Western such as outlaws, j ustice, and gunfights, but it was
unique because of its setting in
the land down under. The film is
high caliber standing on its own
and revitalized interest i n
the genre.
The Western also went
into deep space in the TV
show " Firefly" and its
spinoff movie, "Serenity."
Though these works appear
to be sci-fi, narrative and
stylistic elements mark
them as Westerns. They
showed that the Western
could be popular anywhere.
They directly contributed
to the success the Western
has today.
Recently,
filmmakers
have treated moviegoers
to "The Assassination of
Jesse James by the Coward
Robert Ford" and a remake
of "3:10 To Yuma." Both
have superb casts and s tories.
The interest in recent
Western films has proven
Americans and viewers around the world are
once again interested in
the g ritty movie. T hemes
of righteousness, t aking
a stand for what is right,
and selfless behavior have
risen to the top.
If this trend of Westerns
and great movie m aking
continues, cinemas will
contain one delight a fter
another.

Rakin' in the dough
Super-athletes
distort bigger
picture
BY BRIAN M ANN
Pride Staff Writer
When people look at some of
the salaries of professional athletes, they have to think that, overall, it is a group that certainly is
not in need of a bailout.
New York Yankees star Alex
Rodriguez makes north of twenty
million dollars annually. Manny
Ramirez, now a free agent who
most recently was a Los Angeles.
Dodger, will shop his services
around this winter and is expect-
ing somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars a
year.
He^ll likely get it, draw some
headlines, and you'll hear again
about how out-of-control salaries
in pro sports are.
If you're one of these lucky
guys, you probably don't even
notice that the economy is struggling.
These players are part of an
elite group, though, and are not
representative of professional athletes in general They are the best
of the best and are paid accordingly. Their attention-getting salaries seem outrageous and, quite
frankly, they are. But it is reflective of their market value.
I heard once that an individual's
market value is whatever someone is willing to pay them." Fair
enough. Because the best players
tend to be the highest paid ones,
they and their salaries are given
the most attention.
These players, however, do not
represent the vast majority of professional athletes. Many athletes
have a short-lived career.
For Major League Baseball
Players, 53% of them will have
a career of four years or less and
74% of them will play eight years
or less. The current minimum
salary is $390,000.
For NFL players, the average
career span is 3.5 years and the
minimum salary is $385,000.
For NBA players it is 4.8 years
and $442,000 (espn.com).
Most players with short careers
are making much closer to the
minimum than the tens of millions
that go to the best players. Professional leagues in every sport are
f ull of players like this, just trying
to play as long as they can.
Granted, the low-end pay scale
looks quite attractive to most everybody in the "real
world" but because
the money is made
in a relatively short
amount of time,
most players will
have to work like
everybody
else
once their career is
over.

said, " This concludes the final

In j ust t hree nights-270 m inutes in t otal-our p residential

a c ircular p attern of d iscourse,

s tarted. The i nfrequent v ictories-if you could even c all t hem
that-were small and almost
always o ffset by a m atching
v ictory f or the opponent.
As
p redicted,
McCain
excelled in f oreign policy and
Obama on the economy. The
debates proved n othing new and
c ontributed little t o e xpanding
the political d ialogue in t his
regard.
Even as p unditry a cross the
b oard called the debates d raws,
p olls t aken in a fter the d ebates
all gave Obama v ictories in all
t hree m eetings b etween the
two c andidates.
Who is r ight, the p olls or the
pundits? In m any ways i t's
b oth.
The concept of "a tie is a
l oss" for McCain clearly m anifested itself over the c ourse of
the t hree evenings. For M cCain
the inability to gain a v ictory
leaves n othing to o ffset his
downward spiral in the p olls,
or O bama's steady r ise f or that
matter. McCain w ill have to
dig elsewhere if he e xpects to

T hroughout the c ourse of the
debates, M cCain seem annoyed
and s ometimes even a ngry to be
s haring the stage w ith Obama.
His a ttacks were relentless
and a dmittedly s uccessful at

seemed only to s plinter a gainst
O bama's own S partan-like

M cCain's

and p rogress e vaporated in a

Those p ained laughs

fueled by the media attention
given to the few players who

the "rank and file" players are

And thus it was M cCain's
p erformances in p art that won

Obama was p oised, c ollected,

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

Johnson was charged w ith assaulting a

Men's Soccer Plays to 0-0 Tie with Pomona
Cougar men's soccer played Cal Poly

CSUSM is now 6 -6-2 on the year.
A somewhat lackluster e ffort f rom

very active Cougars took only 10 shots
to Pomona's 9, and neither team consistently put together any k ind of sustained

However, both teams did have their

be a goal in the early second h alf, but it
was called back late due t o a foul. Forward Brandon Zuniga had an excellent

Wyatt put a couple of dangerous shots
on net, forcing Pomona keeper Thomas

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

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

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

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

I After Ang Lee's "The Hulk" flopped, a remake was

This should delight fans of superheroes and action films.
This horror film misses the mark on several levels. The story
follows a family and what happens when masked strangers
appear outside their house. Though it provides some minor
chills, it ends up being just another lame slasher film.

�Keane discover Perfect Symmetry
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
After two multi-platinum
albums, a successful stint at
rehab, and a new baby girl, you
can't shake the vibe that Keane
feels they have conquered something. Whether it be the unsaid
rules of the music industry, hindered originality, or fears of their
own, Perfect Symmetry begs to
find out.
Symmetry's opening track,
"Spiralling," sets the tone for the
entire album. David Bowie emanates from the verses in unlikely,
synth-soaked flashbacks, surely
not shaping the revelatory single
fans expected.
"The Lovers Are Losing" is
much closer to Keane's typical
style, filled with soaring vocals
and loye scorned lyrics, a bit
more pared down than the tracks
to follow.
Smith's throwback "Better
Than This" could easily be where
keyboardist and songwriter Tim
Rice-Oxley gave in hard to guest
producer and pop god Jon Brion.
The track is unquestionably a
lyrical victory, centering on society'^ obsession with celebrity
and reputation. Triumphant the
poetry may be, but the keyboards
and trippy guitar effects saturate
the song's atmosphere.
"You Haven't Told Me Anything" pushes the band's boundaries even further. Rice-Oxley
allows drummer Richard Hughes
a little experimentation with its
beat-driven construction, seamlessly (and temporarily) switching Keane to a dance/house trio.
Symmetry's low point immediately follows the album's immeasurable title track. The mellow
"You Don't See Me" harshly

Walkman.
Luckily, "Again and Again"
rushes in to balance the retro
cheese. True, it sounds like something off the Top Gun soundtrack, but the A-ha synth rip-offs
are actually rather classy. In fact,
take away the buzzing arpeggio,
and "Again and Again" could
fit right in on the band's debut
album, Hopes and Fears.
Most of the release's punch
lives in the first half of the tracks,
with an even mellower "Playing
Along" softly screaming an antiwar message before the last of the
pop tunes make their mark.
"Pretend That You're
Alone" comes off as
almost
a
harsh
Prince" from sophomore record,
Under the Iron Sea. Rice-Oxley
compares humanity to "blisters
on the earth" and "strangling
weeds" before insisting we all
revert to our most hidden animal
instincts, apparently to help
remedy rampant .Western superficiality.
"Black Burning Heart" finally
embodies what these three men
originally set out to create with
this record. As fresh as it is
familiar, the song boils with classic Keane styling, while the fattest bass line since Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"
drives it home.
Lyrically, the
track could

The Radiohead/Queen finale,
"Love is the End," overflows
with genuine passion. Certainly,
the band's personal experiences
in the last year contributed to
its authenticity. To feign warmth
like that is impossible. A fter all,
Keane would know.
The glaringly poetic lyricist
and composer Tim Rice-Oxley is
sometimes too advanced for his
own good.
Regrettably, I get the feeling
that this album won't bring about
any Keane converts due to the
simple fact that it may fly above
many heads. Perfect Symmetry
symbolizes the culmination of a
band abandoning its inhibitions
and indulging every influence.
Refreshing from start to

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

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

"Don't Vote," an online video featuring celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx,

reverse psychology to encourage voter

In the video, the celebrities challenge
those who watch it to take a step f urther than registering and send the video
to five friends in hopes of motivating
them to do the same.
"There is nothing more American than
exercising one's right to vote and many
Americans cast their f irst vote as college students," said Geron. "College students represent a growing portion of the

�The scariest
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
in San Dì
Grounds, the Scream Zone features three
separate attractions, the Haunted Hayride,
the House of Horror and the Chamber for
good Halloween time fun.
The Haunted Hayride is a PG rated scare
for the whole family, though it may not be
appropriate for small children. Riders sit
huddled together on a tractor-pulled hay
wagon while being stalked by ghost and
zombies.
The Chamber is a themed labyrinth that is
haunted by La Llorone, a ghost from south
of the border who is searching for her lost
children. The Chamber is more suspense
driven than any of the other attractions and
is sure to deliver spine-tingling thrills.
The House of Horror is the scariest of die
three and is not recommended for children
under the age of 10. The house features
frightening scenes of gory terror and bloody
graphics. The House of Horror is designed
as a house with a series of themed
rooms that thrill seekers
must walk though.
The eight rooms
include the Funeral
Home Room, the
E lectrocution
room and the
Butcher
shop. Each
room is
slightly
more
frightening than
the one
San Diego is notorious for having high
Halloween spirits because, of the variety of
attractions it offers for the haunting season,
and this year San Diego is hosting four
major Halloween attractions throughout the
city, each with a unique theme that is sure
to give a good scare.
In Del Mar the Scream Zone delivers
thrills, Mira Mesa hosts Monster Manor,
Balboa Park has the Haunted Trail and
Downtown San Diego presents the Haunted
Hotel.
Following a trail of blood through a
dreary hallway and hearing chainsaws
humming in the background as a head rolls
across the floor leaves no doubt that the
Delmar Scream Zone has arrived.

before it, and each room offers a surprise
twist.
The Scream Zone is open nightly from
7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 23 thru Nov.l and
open on selected dates beginning Sept. 26.
Parking is free at the Delmar Fair grounds
after 7 p.m. but each attraction has its own
ticket price.
The triple combo costs $27.99, while a
double admission to the Chamber and either
the Haunted Hayride or House of Horror is
$18.99 or each individual event is priced at
$14.99. More information can be found at
www.sdfair.com/screamzone.
Monster Manor is the ghost of the
Ghastley family home. As the story
goes, every autumn the house
appears out of the ashes where
it formerly stood. The
local children called
the house Monster
Manor before it
burned
down
under mysterious circumstances
family inside.
Many try to enter the Manor each year
and the Ghastley family haunt, taunt
and scare the unwelcome guests.
Monster Manor is an intense
attraction and is not appropriate for children under the age
of 13. However the Monster
Manor does host Lite Fright
for younger audiences. In this
adventure friendly Buccaneers
enlist the children's help in a hunt for lost
treasure.
Lite Fright is on Oct. 18-19 and
25-26 from noon to 4 p.m. and admission is $5. The regular Night Haunt is Oct.
17-18 and 24-31, excluding Monday.
Regular admission is $10 at the
door. More information can be
found at www.monstermanor.
org.
The Haunted Trail at
Balboa Park is a more interactive experience than
the Scream Zone. The
Haunted Trail is an outdoor walk through wooded
areas with haunted graveyards and actors staged as ghosts
and other frightening characters.
The attraction was made to thrill
all the senses. Haunting tunes are
played while patrons walk through
the creepy scenes to keep them
looking over their shoulder,
and the natural moonlight
99 ( Ë
gives
it an

ment
o
f
s pookiness for a
night that is no
walk in the park.
New this year to the Haunted
Trail is the Carnival of Carnage. Guests are
chased by demented clowns while trying
to get out of the polka
doted curtain room
in this twisted take
on a childhood
favorite.
Balboa Park's
Haunted Trail is
open from 7 p.m. to midnight Sept.26 thru Nov.l
and is closed on Mondays
and Tuesdays. Special
hours are set for the Halloween weekend. Tickets
cost $14.99 and can be purchased at the door.
The Haunted Hotel is
ably the most frightening
the Halloween attracin San Diego. At the
H aunted
Hotel, horror movies
are brought to life with special effects that
make the scenes appear frighteningly real.
Movies such as "Hostel", "Saw II" and
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" have been
used in the past, and every year the
event features different movies.
Due to the intense nature of
the attraction, pregnant women,
those with heart conditions
and children under the age of
10 will not be admitted.
The Haunted Hotel is
located in the Gaslamp District and is open from Sept.
26 to Nov. 1, 7 p.m. to 11
p.m. and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and it
has special hours for Halloween weekend. Tickets
are $14.99 and can be purchased
online or at the door.

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

Cougar Cross-Country
Shines at Vanguard; Men
and Women Take 2nd
Cougar cross-country lived
up to its lofty national ranking
on Saturday, as the #3-ranked
women and #5-ranked men both
finished second at the Vanguard
Invitational.
Competing in chilly conditions against a field chocked
f ull of NAIA top-25 teams, both
CSUSM squads managed to
place only behind Azusa Pacific
in the standings. APU's women's team is ranked #2, and their
men are ranked #3.
Dallon Williams, as she has
done all season, led the Cougar
women in Saturday's 5K. The
senior star runner followed up
her record-breaking performance at Riverside with another
brilliant race, running 17:25 to
place second overall.
Not far behind was fellow
senior Morgan Sjogren, who
nearly joined Williams in breaking 18 minutes, but settled for
18:01. Up-and-coming sophomore Jessica Sandoval made it
a trio of Cougars in the top-10,
running 18:17 to place 10th.
True freshman Cady Villarreal ran a solid race, placing 15th
with a time of 18:44. Rounding
out the top-5 was Sin Carrano,
who ran 18:48 to take 17th.
Unbelievably, CSUSM nearly
had 7 runners finish under
19-minutes, despite the tough
conditions. Lindsey McKown
and Whitney Patton just missed
the mark, running 19:02 and
19:03 to finish 24th and 25th,
respectively. Also competing
for the Cougars were Suzanne
Scrimenti (29th; 19:10), Stephanie cook (40th; 19:53), Jen Reinagel (41st; 19:56), Cassidy Reich
(57th; 20:46), Monika Valenzuela (68th; 21:07), Brooke Smith
(73rd; 21:23), Christina Cooper
(76th; 21:54), Niki Thomas (85th;
22:25), Mallory Bawkey (87th;
22:44), and Erin Hearn (88th;
unspecified violation of team
rules.
Cincinnati Bengals wide
receiver Chris Henry has been
reinstated by the team. Henry
has been arrested five times in
the last four years.
MLB
The first round of the playoffs
has been completed. Each series
was a best of five (or first team
to win three).
The Los Angeles Dodgers and
Philadelphia Phillies are playing the National League Championship Series for the right to
represent the National League
in the World Series. It is a best
of seven series (or first team to
win four).
The Tampa Bay Rays and
Boston Red Sox are competing
in the American League Championship Series for the right to
go to the World Series. It is also
a best of seven series.
San Diego Padres owner John
Moores reportedly is attempting to sell about 49% of the
team, according to published
reports. He is in the midst of a
complicated divorce. By retaining more than half of the team's
ownership stake, he would
retain the controlling interest in
the team.
NASCAR
22:45).
On the men's side, the Cougars' formula for success
remained the same as its been
all year: solid, consistent (if
not spectacular) times from
everyone in the tpo-5. While
the men don't have a breakout
star like Williams or Sjogren,
they run remarkably good and
consistent times from race to
race.
This differs from the last
couple seasons, when the
Cougar men have had the star
power but not necessarily the
depth. In both 2006 and 2007,
CSUSM finished a disappointing 9th at Nationals; this year's
team has quietly positioned
itself to improve on that.
Leading the way on Saturday was Dave Edwards, who
ran a strong 26:08 on the 8K
course. Amazingly, the team's
next four runners finished in
order, starting with Tony Guadagnini running 26:21 to take
14th. Finishing 15th was Alex
Guaderrama at 26:22. In 16th
was Kyle Hughes at 26:26.
And at 17th was Matt Leetch,
who ran 26:29 to cap off the
impressive team showing.
This year's team also possesses the depth that has been
lacking iji previous years. If
any of the above runners had
faltered, Leo Elorza's 21st
place finish at 26:39 wouldn't
have hurt the squad at all.
Also
competing
were
Andrew Lang (37th; 27:26),
Hank Carl (44th, 28:00), Miguel
Vega (48th; 28:03), Antonio
Sanchez (53rd; 28:10), Thomas
Polhill (64th; 29:20), and
Weston Ryan (73rd; 30:50).

Woman 3-0. Men 1-1
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
Cougars Soccer had a successful road trip this weekend,
with both the Men going 1-1 and
the Women going undefeated
3-0 throughout the week.
On the brink of going over the
.500 margin for the second time
this season, the Men's Soccer
team just fell short moving their
record to 5-6-1.
Traveling up the coast this
past weekend, the Cougars
played S.F. State, where both
teams came out strong scoring
goals almost immediately.
In the 4th minute SFSU's
Mario Hernandez hit a corner
kick in the box, which ended up
being scored by Killian LeDuke
to give them the 1-0 lead. Just 5
minutes later, co-captain Chris
Wyatt scored an equalizer from
25 yards out to beat the keeper.
The 1-1 tie carried all the
way into the 2nd half, when in
the 71st minute the Cougars
fouled a member of SFSU in
the box and scored on a penalty kick after defender Trey
Whitaker was sent off with a
red card.
The Cougars couldn't get an
equalizer and lost 2-1.
In their 2nd game of the road
trip, the Cougars moved their
record back to .500 with a 1-0 win
over Cal State Monterey Bay.
In the 14th minute, Michael
Nuovo found senior co-captain
Greg Reese, who scored on a shot
off the right post to give the Cougars the only score of the game.
Keeper Tashi Nakanishi made
5 saves in the game to maintain
the shutout.
Women's Soccer needed a 2nd
half comeback to win over Chapman University 2-1, in the only
home game of the week for the
Cougars.
After coming off a loss the
Cougars are now ranked #13
nationally.
The Cougars out shot Chapman 12-2 in thefirsthalf but once
again could not capitilize and
would trail 1-0 going into the 2nd
half.
In the 55th minute, Taylor
Ziencina, who has been hitting
phenomenal corners all year, hit
another deadly pass into seldomused defender Lauren Hernandez
who headed it in for the equalizer.
Finally in the 72nd minute, athlete of the month Katelyn Krauss
made a great run at midfield and
found Ziencina who scored the
game winner after the defense
did not allow a shot on goal in the
2nd half.
In their 1st game of the road
trip, the Cougars clawed SFSU
2-1 in another great victory.
After another corner kick
by Ziencina, Breanna Brenton, a solid back line defender,
scored in the 28th minute t o
give the Cougars the 1-0 lead
early. Krauss gave the Cougars a much-needed insurance
goal coming off a penalty kick
in the 65th minute, which ended
up being the game winner, after
the Cougars allowed a late goal
in the 88th minute.
Women's Soccer improved
their record to 9-2-2 after a dominating victory against CSU East
Bay 3-0.
Katelyn Krauss added another
goal in what has been an impressive week for the athlete of the
month in September to give the
Cougars a 1-0 lead.
The Cougars would add on two
more goals in the 2nd half, one by
Lauren Johnson to seal the deal
and earn the Cougars their 3rd
win of the week. Brittni Salomon
pitched the shutout for the Cougars as well.
Intramural Basketball and
Co-ed Dodgeball
BY LANCE ROSENBERGER
Pride Staff Writer
A round of applause is in
order for everybody who participated in the Intramural
Basketball and Co-ed Dodgeball leagues held at the Clark
Fieldhouse over the past couple
weeks. But like all sports, we
have to give special praise to
the teams who managed to
strive above the rest and make
it to the finals.
For basketball we had the Fab 5
play off against the ZBT Shockers. In a great game the Fab 5
managed to come out ahead, getting first place for this season. "It
was a great game on both parts
and all the players deserve recognition" says Hugo Lecomte, the
Director of Campus Recreation.
But it wasn't over for the ZBT
Shockers. Not one to sit on the
sidelines, they also made it all
the way through to the finals
in the Dodgeball league. In the
final game against Los Peloteros
they came out ahead, grabbing
the title of CSUSM Dodgeball
champions. Los Peloteros played
hard, but apparently the ZBT
Shockers played harder.
All the staff working at the
Clark Fieldhouse wish to invite
you to participate in the upcoming Flag Football and 3-on-3
Women's Basketball leagues.
Check out all the activities by
visiting Campus Recreation in
the Clark Fieldhouse.

Just for Shiggles By Jenny Bigpond

Pride Staff Writer
If you like your food slathered
in home-style essence and fried
to perfection, then tucking in to
Old California Mining Company
is a great way to spend any day of
the week.
The restaurant is nestled right
in the middle of "Restaurant
Row" along San Marcos Blvd.
With other restaurants around
the area specializing in foreign
foods, it's a refreshing sight to
see a place with good ol' American roots.
The presentation of the old
time California feeling is evident right at the start. From the
rusty lanterns strewn around the
walkway leading up to the place,
to the heavily scarred wooden
door that opens to let customers in, you feel like
your back in the
1880's swinging a
pickaxe to the tune
of old folk tunes.
The interior is just
as decorated as the
outside, with sttiffed
bears and elk lining
the walls and old
paintings of miners
spaced out along the
dining areas.
The customer service is exceptional
and right on time,
and the wait for an order is was
surprisingly short.
Speaking of which, no restaurant would be complete without a
fabulous menu to go along with
its decor. Old Town California Mining Company doesn't
disappoint. They have a large
menu ranging from the classic
chicken fried steak and potatoes to an impressive seafood
selection.
There is also a large desert
menu to satisfy the heartiest
of eaters, although it may go
untouched since the portions are
rather generous.
Who doesn't like a little nostalgic and rustic aura in a restaurant? Head down to Old Town
California Mining Company
to have a great time, eat some
great food, and enjoy an authentic setting of times of old.

Tony Vs.
Paul
BY JOSEPH DERAGISCH
Pride Staff Writer
Tony Vs. Paul is an amazing and at times hilarious stop
motion fight sequence between
two friends gone rivals.
The story begins with Tony
looking at an old photograph of
him and Paul. The picture suddenly starts moving and Paul
punches Tony. Tony retaliates
by sending him an angry letter
(which gets to Paul by crawling
across town by itself).
Paul then goes over to Tony's
house and begins an epic fight
that lasts the rest of the video.
There are some great effects
such as the two guys running
on water, hovering over the
ground, and
skating across
the grass.
The video
took
two
months to film
and edit, and
it
contains
over
4,000
still shots to
create
the
fluid motions
of the characters. "Nothing
is fake and no
green screens were used," Paul
Cummings says, adding to the
impressiveness of the clip.
Tony Vs. Paul will marvel
anyone
who
appreciates
hard work and authenticity in their indie film
making. It can be found here:

duo have made many other
videos using stop motion animation which can be found at

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

brought
about
more than entertainment,
This
40-minute online
musical confirmed the idea that
the entertainment industry could
use the Internet as a new form
of media.
This revolution gained motion
with the release of YouTube,
allowing anyone to post video
online. However, Dr. Horrible
was different, because it was the
first widely released professionally made production without
backing of a major studio.
Dr. Horrible is a comedy musical set around the world of super
villains. The story follows the
titular character, Dr. Horrible,
in his quest to defeat his nemesis
and get the girl of his dreams.
Behind this was director Joss
Whedon, the man responsible
for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
and Firefly/Serenity. The idea
came about during the Writers
Guild Strike, when Whedon and
a crew wished to make a production without a high budget or
backing of a major studio.
Though it did not take a great
deal of money to make, it had the
appearance of high production
value. The each segment of the
three part series reached the top
of the iTunes sales chart. Upon
release, the soundtrack, released
only on iTunes, made it in the
top 40 album sales.

Some battles have been raging
since the dawn of time. Coke and

and Cain and Able are all great
examples of these.
Great rivalries often become

most hyped and commercialized
rivalries in recent years have been
that ofApple and Microsoft. There
are millions of people who will
defend either company's products,
citing many reasons why one is

film could gain success without cinema or
DVD release. Dr. Horrible also showed that
entertainers could use the
Internet for more than homemade videos on YouTube,
movie trailers, or television
reruns.
Dr. Horrible subtly raised
the quality of online media,
which should lead to more
development in this medium.
The idea of an Internet only

Though companies used the
Internet as tool paired with
movies and television, it is
now beginning to stand on its

gaming technology has a lifespan
of about 2 years, meaning that a

is almost impossible to do this on

THE PRIDE
Just Soy You Know
n
Superfood" might be villain
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
People all over the world
adopt a vegan lifestyle for several reasons. Vegetarianism
promotes health, is cruelty-free,
and is even required by some
religious schools. For those of
us who grew up eating meat,
the commitment for change
raises a crucial question: How
do I get enough protein?
In the Western world, the
answer to this d ifficulty comes
in the form of a happy little protein-packed bean. When I f irst
explored alternative proteins a
few years ago, I could hardly
tell the difference between
meat and meatless variants,
let alone other vegan products.
Companies like WholeSoy and
Boca Foods leave nothing to
be desired in recent converts,
right?
Not so fast. Have you ever
wondered what is so "super"
about soy? Companies promote
soy as a miracle food to cure
what ails, replace what needs
replacing, and even make less
of an impact on the environment. As convincing as the
advertising appears, it's time
to take a reproachful look at
the myths surrounding soy and
see what science has to say.
Soy partially gained a reputation as the perfect food from
the Asian community. Asians,
especially the Chinese, have
a longer average lifespan and
decreased risk of heart disease than Europeans because
of their diet. However, farm-

ers originally used soybeans
in crop rotation, not as a food
source.
In fact, they realized as early
as the 2nd century BC that raw
soy contained large amounts of
natural toxins, or "antinutrients." Further research shows
these toxins include enzyme
inhibitors that block the
absorption of proteins, phytic
acid that retards the uptake of
essential vitamins and minerals, and goitrogens that suppress thyroid function.
The Chinese discovered
that only fermented soy, like
tempeh, natto, miso and soy
sauce, was f it for consumption.
Average use of soy in Japan
and China is only about two
teaspoons per day, and most
of it is condiments. A more
likely reason Asians experience better health is their
frequent use of fish and low
intake of saturated fats.
Environmental
claims
suggest soy is a "greener,"
more natural food source
than any other mass produced crop. Unfortunately,
most soybeans grown in the
Americas are GM, genetically modified; so they can
still develop while doused
with large amounts of herbicide.
Research in GM soy shows
that women consuming soy
on a regular basis increase
their risk of breast cancer,

Vice presidential
debate is a draw
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
During the vice presidential
debates both Governor Sarah
Palin and Senator Joe Biden
had strong points and weak
points, but neither one stood
out as absolute winner.
Palin without a doubt has
small town charm. She is easy
to like and f un to listen to. And
during the debate she came out
with another quirky phrase,
Joe Six-pack, that has already
become part of the American
vocabulary.
However, being likeable and
easy on the eyes does not necessarily make you the right
woman for the job.
Palin brilliantly called on
all politicians who have been
coified as f lip-floppers to be
honest and tell the public why
they vote differently today than

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

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
With the country's national
election just weeks away, the
campus is making preparations of
its own to generate buzz among
the local community. Today,
during University Hour in Academic Hall 102, the presidents
of CSUSM's College Democrats
and Republicans will face off in
a mock election debate co sponsored by the American d emocracy Project. Tonight, CSUSM
students will appear on television
at 6 p.m. in a debate held at the
Escondido City Council Chambers. On October 21, the College
Democrats will hold an Obama
Rally in the Forum Plaza during
University Hour.
"To my knowledge this is the
very first College Democrat v
College Republican debate on

While current issues and government policies are a daily topic
of discussion in the classrooms of
political science majors, Strieker
stressed the importance for college students to be aware of the
issues of focus in the presidential
elections regardless of their academic focus.

will serve as moderator for the
event. The prepared questions
regard issues such as climate

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

natural)? (Source-US Environmental Protection Agency website, accessed Sept 2008).
Economy
The unemployment rate as of
September 2008 stands at 6.1
percent, the highest level in five
years. What will you do to create
new jobs and how will you ensure
that when CSUSM students graduate they will be able to obtain
good jobs? (Source- US Bureau

20.7 million barrels of oil per

oil consumption. Oil production in the United States peaked
in the 1970s (both on and offshore). This year 80 percent of
our oil has been imported (from
Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia,
Venezuela, etc). How specifically will you reduce America's
dependence on foreign oil? What
forms of energy will you seek to
expand and why? What are the
benefits and drawbacks of these
alternative sources? (Sources-US

HealthCare
Expenditures in the United
, States on health care surpassed
$2 trillion in 2006, almost three
times the $714 billion spent in
1990, and over eight times the
amount spent in 1980 (and 77 times
since 1960). 47 million Americans
are uninsured and another 25 million are underinsured. How specifically will you make health care
more affordable and more accessible to students, families etc.? How
will you pay for the increased costs
of insuring more people? (Sources

is right now," she said, adding
that McCain and she will "start
to tell Americans more and more
aggressively, I guess, about the
choices" in the upcoming election.
Palin also made a point to
accuse Obama of being "pals"
with domestic terrorist, William
Ayers.
"This is not a man who sees
America as you and I see America. We see America as a force
for good in this world. We see
America as a force for excep-

crowd, Palin shook hands and

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

Q
Sind
Presidential candidates'
stances on the important issues
Republican Issues McCain's take on the issues
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
Abortion and Birth Control:
McCain wants to overturn the Roe v.
Wade decision as he is pro-life and believes
that the power to either legalize or outlaw
abortion should be left up to individual
states.
Crime and Punishment:
McCain believes that crimes should be
investigated fully and criminals should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He
plans on increasing the number of police
officers on the streets and redistributing
funds based on merit and need.
Education:
McCain believes that parents should have
the right to send their children to schools
that will be safe and give them the best possible education. He wants to make it possible for parents to send their children to the
school of their choice and not require them
to attend a certain school because of their
address.
Environment:
McCain believes that we have a duty to
take care of the planet and plans to implement several policies to aid in a cleaner
environment. He believes that the environment must be implemented at the local level
as that is where the impacts will manifest
themselves
Energy:
McCain believes that it is essential that
America no longer be dependent on foreign
oil. He supports offshore drilling and plans
to invest in the research and development of
clean alternative energy sources.
Gay Rights:
McCain believes that marriage is a sacred
union between one man and one woman
and does not believe that the term can be
used to describe a union between homosex-
ual couples. He believes that the power to
define marriage is an issue that should be
dealt with at a state level.
Gun Control:
McCain believes that the right of law
abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is
fundamental to this country. He believes
that criminals should be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law instead of taking away
liberties of the innocent.
Health Care:
McCain wants to give every family a
$5,000 health credit and a $2,500 credit
to individuals. He wants to open up insurance so that individuals can cross state lines
when looking for health care in order to get
the best price.
Iraq and Foreign Policy:
McCain believes that it is essential for
America to support Iraq's government
until they are able to govern themselves.
He believes that pulling troops out without
first making sure that the government is
stable would leave Iraq worse off than when
America invaded.
Immigration:
McCain wants to secure our borders and
make sure that all peaceable undocumented
immigrants either leave or begin the process to getting legal status in the states. He
believes it is essential to deal with the process in such a manner that families are able
to stay together.
Taxes and Budget:
McCain believes in supply side economics and will push to lower taxes on companies in order to allow them to be more
productive and therefore able to offer more
jobs. He also opposes Internet taxes and cell
phone taxes that could hinder the growth of
both mediums.

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

The release of

this
summer
brought
about
more than entertainment,
This
40-minute online
musical confirmed the idea that
the entertainment industry could
use the Internet as a new form
of media.
This revolution gained motion
with the release of YouTube,
allowing anyone to post video
online. However, Dr. Horrible
was different, because it was the
first widely released professionally made production without
backing of a major studio.
Dr. Horrible is a comedy musical set around the world of super
villains. The story follows the
titular character, Dr. Horrible,
in his quest to defeat his nemesis
and get the girl of his dreams.
Behind this was director Joss
Whedon, the man responsible
for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
and Firefly/Serenity. The idea
came about during the Writers
Guild Strike, when Whedon and
a crew wished to make a production without a high budget or
backing of a major studio.
Though it did not take a great
deal of money to make, it had the
appearance of high production
value. The each segment of the
three part series reached the top
of the iTunes sales chart. Upon
release, the soundtrack, released
only on iTunes, made it in the
top 40 album sales.

and Cain and Able are all great
examples of these.

that ofApple and Microsoft. There
are millions of people who will
defend either company's products,
citing many reasons why one is

Just Soy You Know
n
Superfood" might be villain
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
People all over the world
adopt a vegan lifestyle for several reasons. Vegetarianism
promotes health, is cruelty-free,
and is even required by some
religious schools. For those of
us who grew up eating meat,
the commitment for change
raises a crucial question: How
do I get enough protein?
In the Western world, the
answer to this d ifficulty comes
in the form of a happy little protein-packed bean. When I f irst
explored alternative proteins a
few years ago, I could hardly
tell the difference between
meat and meatless variants,
let alone other vegan products.
Companies like WholeSoy and

Not so fast. Have you ever
wondered what is so "super"
about soy? Companies promote
soy as a miracle food to cure
what ails, replace what needs
replacing, and even make less
of an impact on the environment. As convincing as the
advertising appears, it's time
to take a reproachful look at
the myths surrounding soy and
see what science has to say.
Soy partially gained a reputation as the perfect food from
the Asian community. Asians,
especially the Chinese, have

ers originally used soybeans
in crop rotation, not as a food
source.
In fact, they realized as early
as the 2nd century BC that raw
soy contained large amounts of
natural toxins, or "antinutrients." Further research shows
these toxins include enzyme
inhibitors that block the
absorption of proteins, phytic
acid that retards the uptake of
essential vitamins and minerals, and goitrogens that suppress thyroid function.
The Chinese discovered
that only fermented soy, like
tempeh, natto, miso and soy
sauce, was f it for consumption.
Average use of soy in Japan
and China is only about two
teaspoons per day, and most
of it is condiments. A more
likely reason Asians experience better health is their
frequent use of fish and low
intake of saturated fats.

than any other mass produced crop. Unfortunately,

Vice presidential

During the vice presidential

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

(provided by the America

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

our oil has been imported (from

HealthCare
Expenditures in the United

that McCain and she will "start

Palin also made a point to
accuse Obama of being "pals"
with domestic terrorist, William
Ayers.
"This is not a man who sees
America as you and I see America. We see America as a force

America as a force for excep-

ters not only to make cookies but to cut outfingersandwiches in the shapes ofmoons,
bats and pumpkins. Shape
cheese with a paring knife to
make it look like fingers and
wrap cocktail wieners in tortilla strips to look like mummy
toes. The Internet also has
a variety of recipe ideas for
creepy food.
A great sound track is essential to the perfect party, and
the monster mash is a must for
Halloween parties. Halloween
CDs make a great, and easy,
way tofillthe party with eerie
music.
Decorations are not
only important to set
the mood at a Halloween party but are a lot of
fun. Cover the area with
spider webs, tombstones,
bats, skeletons and other
Halloween decorations.
And to keep the guests
entertained while they
mingles have a few fun
activities planned, such as
bobbing for apples and a
pumpkin carving contest.

The only thing left to do
is fill the party with great
company and enjoy.

For some college students, the 2008 General Election will be their first opportunity
to vote in a National Election. Choosing
the nation's next leader is more than just
name recognition and Saturday Night Live
skits. While its safe to say that most col-
lege students are aware of the stakes in
this upcoming election, not all may fully
understand the impact the youth vote has
on the general election.

Q
Sind
Presidential candidates'
stances on the important issues
Republican Issues McCain's take on the issues
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
Abortion and Birth Control:
McCain wants to overturn the Roe v.
Wade decision as he is pro-life and believes
that the power to either legalize or outlaw
abortion should be left up to individual
states.
Crime and Punishment:
McCain believes that crimes should be
investigated fully and criminals should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He
plans on increasing the number of police
officers on the streets and redistributing
funds based on merit and need.
Education:
McCain believes that parents should have
the right to send their children to schools
that will be safe and give them the best possible education. He wants to make it possible for parents to send their children to the
school of their choice and not require them
to attend a certain school because of their
address.
Environment:
McCain believes that we have a duty to
take care of the planet and plans to implement several policies to aid in a cleaner
environment. He believes that the environment must be implemented at the local level
as that is where the impacts will manifest
themselves
Energy:
McCain believes that it is essential that
America no longer be dependent on foreign
oil. He supports offshore drilling and plans
to invest in the research and development of
clean alternative energy sources.
Gay Rights:
McCain believes that marriage is a sacred
union between one man and one woman
and does not believe that the term can be
used to describe a union between homosex-
ual couples. He believes that the power to
define marriage is an issue that should be
dealt with at a state level.
Gun Control:
McCain believes that the right of law
abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is
fundamental to this country. He believes
that criminals should be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law instead of taking away
liberties of the innocent.
Health Care:
McCain wants to give every family a
$5,000 health credit and a $2,500 credit
to individuals. He wants to open up insurance so that individuals can cross state lines
when looking for health care in order to get
the best price.
Iraq and Foreign Policy:
McCain believes that it is essential for
America to support Iraq's government
until they are able to govern themselves.
He believes that pulling troops out without
first making sure that the government is
stable would leave Iraq worse off than when
America invaded.
Immigration:
McCain wants to secure our borders and
make sure that all peaceable undocumented
immigrants either leave or begin the process to getting legal status in the states. He
believes it is essential to deal with the process in such a manner that families are able
to stay together.
Taxes and Budget:
McCain believes in supply side economics and will push to lower taxes on companies in order to allow them to be more
productive and therefore able to offer more
jobs. He also opposes Internet taxes and cell
phone taxes that could hinder the growth of
both mediums.

Everyone loved the Beatles
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The
modern
music scene is
very diverse and
there is a number
of tunes to suit
any
persons
taste. There are
so many artist
performing in, redefining, and
blending various genres, it is
difficult to not find something
that suits your taste.
However, along with that, is
the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists
by individuals.
Yet back in the 1960's there
was a music phenomenon,
everyone loved The Beatles.
When I say that, I know not
'everyone' loved The Beatles.
However, the fans outweighed
the opposed.
At concerts and album
releases, there was an absolute
f renzy of fanatics. People o ften
refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.'
The obsessive nature of Beatle
f ans was unlike anything ever
seen.
They were one of the main
contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United
States. They had a massive fan
base that spanned the world.
Their fame has lived on well
past their career. Albums and
paraphernalia are still high
selling items worldwide. Their
influence on the music world is
incalculable.
They
revolutionized
the
album making process by composing songs themselves, and
though they were not
the first to do so, they
made it the standard.
Traces of their music
style can still be heard
in modern music. Music
critics hail their work
as more than music, but
actual art.
In the mid to mid-late
20th century, this was
commonplace in the music
scene. Beatles fans were not
the only ones raging over the
band.
Other artist, such as Bob
Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny
Cash were j ust as big, then
and now. And this raises
questions about where this
activity has gone.
No longer are album stores
flooded on the day of release.
No longer do concerts become
a f renzy of helpless love for
the performer.
This says something about
the caliber of the quality of
music being made today. For
years there has not been an
artist that has had the same
glory as The Beatles or other
artist of their time.
I find it laughable that the
Internet is filled with comments and postings that the
Jonas Brothers are the new
Beatles. The Brothers' f an
base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do
not have the same appeal to
all ages as the Beatles.
Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have
made a mark commercially
and socially that has not, and
likely will never, be topped.

Letter to CSUSM cries wolf
the editor
I call foul
BY GINA P. KEETON
Years from now, when I look
back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will
remember the many wonderful
professors I have had who aided
in shaping the ideas and thoughts I
hold. However, in pertaining to the
school itself, I will have only bitter
memories.
I think many individuals can
agree that the unification efforts at
this University are poor.
"Cougar Pride" is most likely
something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually
no sports and no common enemy
for the CSUSM population to feel
as one.
Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve
fighting the California State University budget cuts.
First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I
understand the CSU system had
been marginally hit by this lack of
funds. Nevertheless, I still believe
that CSUSM is not suffering as
much as they want us to believe.
These "budget cuts" are being
used as a pathetic excuse to cheat
the students out of more money.
Now why am I calling foul on
the school for their pleas to reduce
the cuts? It is a multitude of things
really.
Individual incidents that one
could just as easily turn their back
on as coincidence. Yet if you really
take a step back and look at certain
things with a new perspective, you
can see the bigger picture in which
everything is intertwined.
Over the summer a Professor
mentioned that the school had spent
an enormous amount of money to
change from the trusty Smart Web
system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM.
Then in the weeks approaching
the fell semester, the e-mail server
switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover.
So why is it that a school that is
suffering for money happened to
splurge on superficial remodeling?
To make up for the budget cuts
. the school has cut GE courses in
which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot
get into. The school is not allowing
transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts.
To top it all off, the school's
offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this
semester I had serious issues with
the Veteran's office, Financial Aid
and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and
even the Registrar.
After weeks of trying to get these
issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students.
By the next morning I received
seven phone calls either telling me
that my complaint had np merit and
I don't know what I'm talking about
or kissing up to my derriere with an
incredible amount of force.
In the end, the problems were
resolved after much stress and hardship.
However, I cannot forget the
many lies I was told, the fact that
they kept a large scholarship check
of mine to collect interest on, and
the many individuals I went through
that did not have a clue of what was
going on in their own office.
Maybe what the school needs to
do, instead of trying to get State
funding, is take a good look at
their budget and try to clean up the
wrongs inside the school, instead of
giving it a shiny new website.

Casual observation would
Several studies have concluded
seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a
measurable impact on hurricane
intensity.
A study released earlier this
month by the Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration,
concluded "that despite statistical
correlations between SST [Sea
Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent
decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and
particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane
activity."
The belief that a line has been
drawn in the sand may not be
as realistic or influential as one
might think.
In July 2006, Christopher
Landsea of NOAA challenged
the
scientific
community's
attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on
the grounds that there simply
was not a comprehensive enough
body of data to make such a claim
with any sort of accuracy.
Older hurricane data is regarded
as incomplete and shoddy,
making it difficult to lend itself
to the long term examination of
global warming on hurricanes.
It seems obvious then to ask
yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with
certainty or anything remotely
close to it that the hurricane
disasters of late are by our own
making, how is this an issue we
need to take seriously?
Not having enough evidence to
make the case isn't an excuse for
continuing to allow global warming to worsen.
The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should
be is because there isn't enough
to be measured yet. I am not
comfortable with gambling on
that uncertainty after witnessing
a string of devastating hurricanes
compromise the safety and well
being of my fellow Americans.
The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep
the possibility of global warming
effects on hurricane intensity are
easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world
take the proper measures to make
sure this ceases to be an issue.
If we continue to idly stall until
we achieve absolute certainty
then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our
hands and ours alone.

THE PRIDE
Some of CSUSM's youngest
students still in diapers
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Located adjacent to the UPD building
off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's
newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its
one-year anniversary at the beginning
of this month.
While the site is a childcare center, it
offers a wide range of services.
According to Francesca Gallozzi, the
director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They
are open to children aged 6 weeks to
5 years, or about the age of kindergarten.
The center is certified to care for
infants who are less than 24 months,
as well as being certified for children
over 2 years until junior preschool and
pre-k. Though the center is affiliated
with CSUSM, it is open to the community.
According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of
the children are from the community,
though students, staff and faculty have
priority in enrollment.
The children are cared for by fully
qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud
of, she said. Several workers happen
to be students, though they must meet
several requirements.
Other features include all meals
cooked on site for the children. The
center is also a learning lab for the
university for students who study child
development.
Gallozzi is pleased with the growth
of the center, and she is looking for
more ways to reach out.
When the center opened, there were
only 23 children, and enrollment is
currently more than 120.
"The school hasn't fully realized the
opportunities for engagement at the
center," she said.
One program implemented in the
center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange
a visit to the center to teach children
about their field. Through this, both
parties may benefit from the experience.
Another program recently s tarted is
the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The
center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring
their favorite book and read to the children.
President Haynes was the first to
participate in the event.
The center will also collaborate with
the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this
fall, a tradition started last year.
The Childrens' Creative Learning
Center (CCLC) is the parent company
of the center.
According to their website, the
CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992.
Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning
experience.
"We're really exited to be here and
excited about growth," said Gallozzi.

Catholic Club
gains popularity
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The club became official in March 2008.
Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice
President Nate McWeeney head the organization.
Jenny Doherty handles communications
by reaching out to all interested students.
Seven other officers comprise the group.
The club holds biweekly meetings every
first and third Wednesday of the month at
7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room
1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus
called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark
Field House in Room 110.
"It's popular for Catholic students to look
for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we
had one when I started," said Hoffman.
Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club.
The deities gave support and funding for
the CSUSM Catholic club.
The churches even sent members from
the group on retreats to train and help them
with leadership.
The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to
enable students to have a good Christian
experience on campus and unite them with
church. Eventually they want to establish a
Newman Center on campus.
The center provides a place of worship
for Catholic students. The club intends to
host a concert on campus next semester as
well.
"I think it's great that CSUSM students
are keeping our faith alive," said Senior
Management Major Suzette Monroyo.
60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90
students joined the club's mailing list. For
more information visit www.facebook.
com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send
e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com.
"All are welcome. We can make people's
college experiences a memorable one with
friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman.

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

CSU stands to take more than $215 million in
cuts under this proposal that must be recovered in the next budget"

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

THE PRIDE
Surfer, Dude tells the story of Steve Attington, played by Matthew McConaghey,
a soul-surfer, who returns to his hometown, Malibu, only to find it tainted by new
age technology.
Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship
offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it.
One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst
nightmare for any surfer.
The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him
to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come.
Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore.
The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R. Bindler and Matthew McConaghey at a press junket at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.

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

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

Booze, tattoos and rock and roll, the 2008
Street Scene went back to its roots in downtown San Diego for a two-day music festival.
Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park,
this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and
a variety of eccentric indie rockers together
for the love of music.
Friday's lineup hosted more alternative
sounds then years before, such as headlining
act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also
big names on the line up for Friday.

Later on in the night, MGMT, a band
whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen
to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the
Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45
minute set.
The stage was set at the end of a narrow
street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics,
ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so
it was.
Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly
than Friday. The food was prepared more
quickly, the bands started and ended on time,
the traffic was better. It seemed that after only
one day the festival was familiar to people, a
short lived home awayfromhome.
The four stages, named after popular music
venues around San Diego, were rooted in the

SEX AND THE CITY
GRADE:C+
Though this movie has plenty to offer for fans of the television
show, it does not stand up well by itself. All the cast reunites
to tell one more story which take place after the show ended. It
is over two hours long and fails to be as engaging as other TV

With Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment Week officially

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

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

�Women's Center Campus recreation
A place for all students opportunities
By Kathryn McBrayer
A&E Editor
Walking into the ASI Women's Center
arouses a sense of comfort and a safe
placet
Information leaflets line the walls and
table in the entrance, but the first thing
to really catch the eye is the three soft
couches centered in the room inviting students to take a break and just "be."
A private space is available for people
who need to get away for a moment
weather to breast feed, cry or take a nap.
"There is no time limit for people" says
Hermi Ramirez, the Women's Center
community outreach leader "We love
it when people come in just to eat their
lunch."
The Women's center does not cater just
to women, but all students are welcome to
cruise into the center for information on
health issues, social justice and so much
more.
Lindsay Riedel, operations coordinator, says "the Women's Center serves so
many different purposes." The center
provides crisis counseling and referrals for professional recourses and legal
advice. It also offers practical help for
students such as f ree condoms, tampons,
dental dams and an electric breast pump
that can be rented for the semester or just
the afternoon.
Free pregnancy tests are available
along with emergency packages intended
to provide essentials for women who
need to get through a few days.
Text books are also available for rent
for the semester.
The ASI Women's Center is sponsoring several events throughout the
semester. This month they will be hosting InterACT on September 17th in Arts
240 a piece intending to educate about
sexual assault, Sep 25th National Women's Health and Fitness day, an assertive workshop on Sep 24th, and Col. Ann
Wright discuss Sexual Assault in the
Military.
Programs like these will be sponsored by the Women's center throughout the semester to address social justice
issues.
Social justice is also an important
theme in the Rag magazine that the
Women's center issues every month.
Writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit articles, poems, questions themed on social justice.
Quizzical students are also given the
opportunity to ask uncomfortable questions to 'Aunt Flo' who offers wisdom on
topics such as sex and relationships.
This month's issue is a combination of
on campus magazines The Queery, The
Rag and the newsletter from the Cross

Campus Recreation is a fairly recent addition to the CSUSM campus. Based out of
the Clark Fieldhouse, they have many activities available to everyone, from students to
faculty alike.
Intramural sports makes up a large portion of what the Campus Recreation Center
is currently known for. For just a flat $10
fee, you get access to ALL the Intramural
sports throughout the year.
Maybe make a basketball team with some
buddies and come down on Friday afternoon
from 12-5? Or you can join their Intramural
Co-ed Dodgeball team. "It's fun, competitive and a great way to meet friends." says
Friank John Tabarez, who formed a basketball team with some roommates this year.
Campus Recreation even has big plans for
some other Intramural Sports which might
interest you. These include Kickball, Flag
Football, Powderpuff, Womans Basketball,
and more. Whatever you enjoy, they have a
place for you.
Not into Intramurals? No worries, we've
just begun! They also have Excursions
throughout the year. This is a great chance
to get off-campus and have some fun. They
already had an extremely successful Sailing Excursion, and they have a Rockclimbing Excursion scheduled for Oct. 6th. Excursions still to come include Kayaking, Bowling, Snowboarding, Paintball and more.
Want to learn something fun without
having to pay a fortune? Well they have free
Fitness Leisure Classes for students. They
include: Core Central (ABS) - Mon & Wed @
3:30pm, Power Pilates - Mon @ 5pm, Kenpo
Karate - Mon & Wed @ 6pm, Ashtanga
Yoga - Tues & Thurs @ 12pm, Boot Camp
Box- Wed @ 5pm, Hip-Hop - Tues & Thurs
@ 4pm andAfrican Dance - Soon.
You just have to show up. No paying, no
signing anything, just gotta walk through the
door. If only every part of college worked
like that. Oh, faculty, I forgot to mention, you
need to pay. But it's still cheaper that tuition,
so it's not like it's a thinly veiled attempt at
revenge or anything...
The last big thing Campus Recreation
offers are clubs. They have clubs for Surf,
Cheer, Women's Volleyball, Dance, Women's Soccer, Cycling and Triathlon.
Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus
Recreation, has high hopes for this program. Lecomte says "(Campus Recreation)
is on a mission to promote campus involvement by encouraging physical activity and
healthy lifestyles and providing quality and
safe recreational opportunities." With all
the things he's got going at Campus Recreation, I think it's safe to say he is doing a
great job.
If you want more information, or want to
sign up for any of the fun activities listed
above, come on down to the Campus Recreation Center in the Clark Fieldhouse.
They're business hours are from 11-1 and 4-7
Monday through Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays. If you just want a question answered,

From June 30th to July 21st, I participated in the trip of a lifetime on the
UCLA Travel Study Program in Greece.
This program was taught by Professor
David Phillips (UCLA), Professor Nicholas Rockwell (University of Denver),
and, CSUSM's very own, Professor Darel
Engen and focused on ancient Greek history.
This phenomenal program combined
daily classroom lectures with on-site
visits to create an amazing learning experience. Students also read ancient Greek
classics and the historical accounts of
Herodotus and Thucydides. Students
were tested on all materials during the
course of the program which culminated
with two final papers after returning
home.
The trip included extensive travel
throughout all of Greece that cannot possibly be covered in one article but the
highlights included exploring Athens
and the Acropolis and pondering the
daily lives of the ancient Greeks. We also
visited the breathtakingly beautiful town
of Nauplion with a Venetian fortress
perched on a hill overlooking the town.
We toured the ancient sites of Mycenae,
Nemea, and Epidaurus and were able to
learn about the ancient Greeks' importance of fortification, religion, and the
theatre.
We visited the ancient site of Olympia which was a sanctuary to Zeus and
Hera in addition to the site of the ancient
Olympics which ran from 776 BC until
392 AD. We also visited the city and site
of Delphi which included many ancient
temples and treasuries including the site
of the oracle who gave prophecies to the
ancient Greeks.
Northern Greece included a trip to
Thessaloniki and the ancient tomb of
Phillip II of Macedon.
The trip culminated in a 3 day cruise to
the islands of Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos,
Crete, and Santorini which included
shopping, beach excursions, site visits
to the Library of Celsus in Ephesus and
the palace of Knossos in Crete, a visit to
the Cave and Monastery of Saint John on
Patmos as well as a thrilling donkey ride
and astonishing sunset in Santorini.
During the trip, students were able
to enjoy some f ree time aside f rom site
visits and studying which included meandering the vast amounts of shops in the
Athenian Plaka, exploring the National
Gardens, watching the changing of the
guards, climbing to the t op of the Venetian Fortress ift Nauplion (all 999 steps to
the top!), and; most importantly, taking
time out to make friends and enjoy the
culture of Greece.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the
trip was all of the unexpected moments
that occurred. On Patmos, I watched a
Greek funeral procession that took place
which provided an insight into Greek
culture. On my last day in Athens, I was
able to explore an archeological dig which
was a surreal experience that showed the
richness of Greek history that is continuing to be unearthed.
In closing, I would like to thank Professor Engen for his dedication to education and for encouraging and challenging
his students to "mind their brains."

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

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

has been able to participate in growing movement to cross the medium
of music with video in Uve settings.
VJing may require twice the skill,
but Mike hasn't backed down from
the challenge, making VJing a staple
ofhis act.
Keeping that innovative edge
sometimes requires reinventing yourself, and that is just what Mike Strip
is doing these days. Most recently,
Mike Strip has revamped his image
to make himself a more pronounced
presence in the DJ world. Mike also
plans on releasing his first album
later this month, giving fans of his
performances a whole new experience. But Mike is just looking at it as
a chance to showcase his hard worksome 8 hours a day for 2 months
straight- and mature as a producer.
It his work as a producer and not
just as a DJ that could launch his
career to the next level. In the past,
his work has appeared on television
networks like CBS, NBC, and Lifetime, but it is his newest venture into
production that Mike seems most
excited about.
At this point in his career, there
seems to be nothing but limitless
potential for this young and skilled
entertainer. Mike stands to become
a commanding presence in the music
and entertainment industry, and
CSUSM students should be excited
to have a guy like Mike around
campus. Although his aversion to
the club scene has kept him from
committing to any one venue, its safe
to say that DJ Mike Strip Wereski is
CSUSM's resident DJ.

GRADE: DThis chick flick offers nothing. There is nothing unique
about this run of the mill rom-com. It is predictable and
formulaic, as seen in the trailer, which reveals most of the

and give you only hackneyed jokes and poor storyline. It
relies too much on the names of it's stars, so steer clear of
this one.
GRADE: D
Thisfilmfloppedbig time in theaters this summer, lasting
only a few weeks on wide release. This delivers only flashy
colors and special effects. Other than that, it is a long,
disengaging exercise by the Wachowski Brothers. They put
too much into the visual, and no effort towards a plot. It raises
a question of how they managed to make "The Matrix."

Republicans from across the
country flocked to St. Paul, M N
last week to nominate John
McCain and Sarah Palin as the
Republican presidential and vicepresidential candidates at the
Republican National Convention.
From Sept. 1 to Sept. 4, prominent Republican figures including
Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney,
Rudy Guiliani, and Cindy McCain
spoke to supporters on issues
facing America and pledged support for John McCain.
Although, most of the events
scheduled for the first day of
the convention were delayed on
account of Hurricane Gustav's
intrusion on the gulf coast, most
of the speakers scheduled to
make an appearance were able
to do so.
President Bush and VicePresident Cheney, originally
scheduled to speak on Sep. 1 at
the convention, canceled their
appearance, citing the need to
attend to matters related to Hurricane Gustav.

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

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

The fall of The Office
BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff
Writer
NBC's "The
Office" is set
to start its
new season
September
2 5 , according to the official website.
In addition, while the show
has grown in popularity, the
quality of the show is diminishing. The jokes are not
as funny, and the character
development has gone f rom
cleaver to absurd. The first
two seasons were the glory
days of the show as it rose.
Nevertheless, I think that it
where it peaked.
Ever since the last episode of season two, "Casino
Night," the show's quality has
been on a steady decline. I can
remember being so excited
for the start of season three,
but the episode "Gay Witch
Hunt" was a severe letdown.
Since then, I have been waiting for that episode where the
show becomes exciting and
interesting again. However, it
has been two years, and it has
not made any progress.
I can discern a definitive
difference in the style of the
show between the two halves.
First, the characters were originally unique and had a fine
blend of humor and humanity. They would do f unny
things, but each was someone viewers could identify
with. Yet, season three ushth
embarrassing and appalling is
the theme of the party, which is
"Rescue Me." Essentially what
it boils down to is a firefighter
party on September 11 . The
men and women who showed
ultimate bravery that morning
should not be mocked or impersonated in this fashion on the
anniversary of one of their finest
days. I think it is disrespectful to the people who ran in to
save others, when everyone else
was running out. And the party
theme "Rescue M e" brings up
connotations that seem insulting
to the victims of the attacks. I
would hope there is not a sailorthemed party on December 7 .
I am aware that proceeds of
the event will be going toward
charity, but the end does not j ustify the means. The night should
not consist of partying and dancing, but to mourn and be thankful. To consider the day and be
m indful is to push forward to a
better f uture. Though it acceptable to have f un, judgment and
taste should be shown in the
planning of these events.
th

was indeed a visually dazzling
movie. Pixar Studios produces
exquisite computer animations
sure to awe and entertain audiences just as the classic Disney
cartoons still do today. As is inherently clear, Disney is well versed
in making films whose message
is sure to resonate within its audience. As long as the entertainment
industry exists for just that, entertainment, persuasion has no place
in the theatre.
ered in an era where the
characters became caricatures of themselves. Steve
Carell's character, Michael
the boss, went from silly
but likeable to absurd and
annoying. His actions are
so over the top it becomes
unrealistic and hard to
follow the show. The same
is for all the personalities, such as
Dwight, who have had their fine
details blown out of proportion.
The show has also lost focus
on where it was going. In the
first two seasons, episodes happened independently with only
the undertones of a relationship
between characters Jim and Pam
carrying though. Since the show
has become more popular, it
seems as if it has compromised
itself to be more appealing. The
continuing storylines are so overblown and preposterous that the
show is a mess. There are too
many new characters and storylines to appreciate.
I still am a fan of the show,
but the commercialization of the
show has been its downfall. The
first two seasons now seem like
the glory days, and if it does not
improve soon, I would rather see
it end now rather than burn out a
few years down. But that seems to
be the theme of American shows.
The British version of "The
Office," which inspired the NBC
version, ended after two seasons,
amassing only 12 episodes and
a feature length episode to tie
up loose ends. Whenever NBC's
"The O ffice" ends, hopefully it
can t urn around before then so it
can go out on a positive note.

place has not and does not work,
especially for the minorities in this
country.
"The system isn't working when
a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or
doesn't graduate at all. Or when a
young person at the top of her class
- a young person with so much to
offer this country - can't attend a
public college," Obama said.
After promising to be the right
candidate tofightfor a better America for everyone, Obama also called
upon the Latino community to help
in making that happen.
"I know how powerful this community is. Just think how powerful you could be on Nov. 4th if you

translate your numbers into votes,"
Obama noted. He added that in
2008, an estimated 170,000 Latinos in New Mexico alone were not
registered to vote. "I'm not taking
a single Latino vote for granted in
this campaign. We're meeting with
Latino leaders across the country.
We're reaching out to Latino organizations to get input on my policy
proposals. We've got a nationwide
Hispanic media strategy. We're
recruiting and training Latino organizers. We're holding Latino voter
registration drives across America. And when I'm President, I'll
be asking many of you to serve at
every level of government."
McCain spoke at the conference
the following day focusing on the
economy and immigration policies. Although his entrance was met
with protestorsfromthe back of the
room, McCain quickly gained the
attention of the guests in attendance
outlining his agenda.
"A recent report says small businesses have created 233,000jobs so
far this year while other sectors are
losing jobs. Small businesses are
the job engine of America, and I
will make it easier for them to grow
and create more jobs," McCain
said. "There are two million Latino
owned businesses in America,
many of them started by Latinas.
The first consideration we should
have when debating tax policy is
how we can help those companies
grow and increase the prosperity of
the millions."
McCain also responded to comments made against him by Obama
a day earlier regarding immigration
policies in reference to a comment
McCain made stating that he would
not support his own legislation if it
came up for a vote.
"My campaign (on immigration reform) was written off as a

briefly. Then Alex Hoang conducted his speech. He described
afictionalscene of a real tukwut
and her cubs freely roaming the
grounds that CSUSM rests on 200
to 300 years ago. The audience
seemed to enjoy his speech.
"Fellow students.. .the Tukwut
Courtyard is yours...it represents the promise of where we
came from, the success we have
achieved today and the prosperity
that is to come. The integrity of
our courtyard stands in the preservation of the name Tukwut," he
said.
Sam Fernandez, American
Indian Student Alliance President
and Neal Hoss, Vice President of
University Advancement spoke as
well. Lastly, Robert Freeman who
constructed the Tukwut Statue
explained how the statue was
built.
' The statue is going to get
you. He is crouched and ready to
pounce," he said in a playful tone.
"It was a nice opportunity to
hear about the native America
influence at CSUSM and to learn
the background and meaning of
[Tukwut]," said kinesiology senior
CaitlmAmiton.
Dozens of students, faculty and
staff, and tribal representatives
rushed the Tukwut Statue after
the ceremony ended. Flashes and
smiles quickly occupied the previously covered statue.
Rather than appear at the convention however, President Bush
made his address to the convention via satellite transmission.
"I know the hard choices that
fall solely to a president," said
Bush. "John McCain's life has
prepared him to make those
choices. He is ready to lead this
nation."
On Sep. 3, the Republican
delegates voted almost unanimously to officially nominate
McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, concluding a
lightly contested primary season
for the Republican nominee.
According to Nielsen Media
Research, a record 38.9 viewers
tuned into McCain's acceptance
speech, with the convention
averaging 34.5 million viewers

lost cause. I did so not just because
I believed it was the right thing to
do for Hispanic Americans. It was
the right thing to do for all Americans. Senator Obama declined to
cast some of those tough votes,"
McCain noted. "He voted for and
even sponsored amendments that
were intended to kill the legislation,
amendments that Senator Kennedy
and I voted against I never ask for
any special privileges from anyone
just for having done the right thing.
Doing my duty to my country is its
own reward. But I do ask for your
trust that when I say, I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean
i t I think I have earned that trust."
Following his speech, McCain
opened thefloorto questions from
the audience. With issues ranging
from the Dream Act back to immigration, McCain admitted that while
they may disagree with his stances,
he was willing to sit down and discuss similar issues again.
In conjunction with the convention, was the 2008 Latino Expo,
which featured boothsfroma wide
array of sponsored companies and
organizations such as ConAgra
Foods, Lowes, Latinos for Obama,
and Estamos Unidos McCain.
The four-day event clearly was a
celebration ofLatino culture and the
forty years spent by NCLR advocating the rights of a growing minority. In her speech at the convention,
Murguia outlined her vision of a
better America and the importance
of the Latino vote on the upcoming
election.
"This is an historic election. It is
not only historic for the make up of
the candidates who are running; it
is historic for the role we will play
in it," the NCLR President and CEO
said. "Sixteen weeksfromtoday, on
Nov. 4,2008,1 promise you America will hear our voice loudly and
clearly in state after state across this
country."
throughout the 4-day event.
At various points in McCain's address, protesters in the
crowd caused somewhat of
an uproar. Adam Kokesh, a
formal Marine corporal and
Iraq War veteran, interrupted
McCain's speech, yelling, "Ask
him why he votes against vets",
A prominent critic of the war in
Iraq, Kokesh also displayed a
large sign that said on one side,
"McCain votes against vets,"
and on the other, "You c an't
win an occupation." Security
personnel apprehended Kokesh
and released him shortly t hereafter with no charges.
A group of code pink protesters were also escorted out of the
convention after attempting to
interrupt McCain's speech. The
Republican crowd responded
to these protesters by chanting
"U.S.A." and McCain jokingly
referred to the protesters as "the
ground noise and the static."
While McCain did not reserve
criticism for Obama, he did say
of his democratic rival, "Despite
our differences, much more
unites us than divides us. We are
fellow Americans, an association
that means more to me than any
other."
Of his new running mate,
McCain remarked, "I'm very
proud to have introduced our next
Vice President to the country. But
I can't wait until I introduce her
to Washington. And let me offer
an advance warning to the old,
big spending, do-nothing, mefirst, country-second Washington
crowd: change is coming."
Having been confirmed as the
vice-presidential nomination by
a voice vote earlier that day, Palin
said in her speech to the convention, "Mr. Chairman, delegates,
and fellow citizens: I am honored
to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the
United States...I accept the call to
help our nominee for president to
serve and defend America."
Palin's speech included some
barbs directed at Obama. Contrasting her experience as mayor
of Wasila to Obama's experience
as a community organizer, Palin
said, "I guess a small-town mayor
is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual
responsibilities."
The presidential candidates will
meet later this month on Sept.
26 at the University of Mississippi's Gertrude C. Ford Center
in Oxford, Mississippi for the first
televised presidential debates of

will take place Tuesday Sept. 9
during University Hour in Commons 206.
The topic for the coming workshop will be "How to Survive

resources to ease some of the difficulties oflife at college. Accord-
ing to Student Life and Leadership, the workshop will help students "learn to succeed your first
year" and "get tips on acclimating

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

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

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

are fantastic and the large cannoli friendly. Combined with all the
great food NYPD
steals the show.
The atmosphere
of NYPD is also
pleasant. It may be
small on the inside,
but the decorations
bring life to the
story.
The prices are
fair, based on the
quality and the
number of specials available,
such as 99 cent
slices of pizza
on Monday and
Wednesday and
2 for 1 Tuesdays.

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

On Aug. 28, the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream"
speech, the Democratic Party
cheered on as Illinois Senator
Barack Obama, the first African American candidate for a
major political party, accepted
his nomination.
Over 84,000 supporters were
present for during the 42-minute
speech, making the gathering
the largest at a Democratic convention ever.
In MLK's speech, he emphatically declared, "I have a dream
that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the
content of their character."
Two of his children spoke
during the convention following
a video tribute of their father to
celebrate the historic occasion.
See Speech, Page 4
on June 3, Obama, then the presumptive democratic nominee, did
not officially receive the party's
nomination until the Aug. 27 roll
call vote of the party's delegates.
During the vote, Senator Hillary
Clinton successfully motioned to
suspend the roll call and nominate
Obama by acclamation. JoeBiden
also received the vice-presidential
nomination by a voice vote on Aug.
27, the same day as his address at
the convention.
The party's affirmation ofBarack
Obama as their presidential can-
didate marks the official end of a
volatile and protracted primary
season. The months leading up to
the convention saw tension build
around the seating of Florida and
Michigan's delegates and the dissatisfaction of many Clinton Supporters wiBi the outcome ofthe primary.

McCain announces Alaska Governor as running mate
For the second time in U.S. history, a woman assumes
the role as running mate to a major party candidate.
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
On Friday, Aug. 29, a day
after the close of the Democratic National Convention,
the presumptive Republican
nominee, Arizona Senator John
McCain, announced Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin as his
vice presidential candidate.
Palin is not only the first
female running mate selected
for the GOP, but also the first
Alaskan on a major party
campaign. A first term governor, Palin beat out Gov. Frank
Murkowski for reelection in the
2006 Republican primary and
defeated Democrat Gov. Tony
Knowles in the general election.
In 1984, Democratic candidate Walter Mondale selected

44, got her start in politics in 1992 them, however, in a landslide
when she ran for city council in victory.
Wasilla, Alaska.
Commenting to Fox News on
the announcement of another
female contender, Ferraro noted
that McCain's choice could
make a difference in the turnout of the election. "There are
a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary [Rodham
Clinton] was treated" during
her run in the Democratic primaries, adding "I've spent a lot
of time over the last 24 years
saying, 'Gosh, I wish I weren't
the only one.'"
In her welcoming speech,
Palin addressed the female
vote, reaching out to Hillary
supporters.
"Hillary left 18 million
cracks in the highest, hardest
glass ceiling in America. But it
turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we
can shatter that glass ceiling
once and for all," Palin said.
This Monday, Palin confirmed reports that her 17-yearold daughter, Bristol, is preg-
nant.
In a statement released by the
McCain campaign, Palin adds
that her daughter is about five
months pregnant, going to keep
the child and marry the father.
"We have been blessed with
five wonderful children who we
love with all our heart and mean
everything to us," the statement
said. "Our beautiful daughter
Bristol came to us with news
that as parents we knew would
make her grow up faster than
we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of
adulthood, she knows she has
our unconditional love and support."
The Palin family also
requested that the media respect
the privacy of the couple.
The McCain campaign also
stated that McCain knew of
the pregnancy before selecting
Palin and did not consider it to
be a deterrent in the election.

Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate",
but playfully nicknamed abstract
sculpture, "The Bean", highlights, reflects and reinterprets
Chicago's skyline. Located in
Millennium Park, the enormous
stainless steel sculpture acts as a
three dimensional mirror of the
city. It is perfectly located so
that left side reflects buildings
to the west and the right side
reflects buildings to the east—it
is a sculpture that reflects earlier
sculptures.
The location ofour school's
new "Focus" sculpture,
^k
by artist Robert Freeman is located on a
dirt mound.
The
sculpture
was met with opprobrium by the editorial
staff because of its obvious
and awkward location. Its
bright and spirited colors
are washed out by sunlight and ignored by
moonlight.
Trees
surround the inglorious dirt mound
it stands embarrassingly proud \
on. The only
way to get a good
look at this 14-foot
sculpture is to walk
right up and stare
at its ashamed k
face.
Aban- m
doned sloppily M
to the side of ™
Kellogg,
the
14-foot freeform
'Focus'
sculpture of dancing yellows,
greens, purples, reds and blues
is dwarfed by its surroundings.
"Cloud Gate" became part of
Chicago's community. It gives
back to the people that interact with it. It is at the center,
revealing what the artist
thought to be the best of Chicago. Who is going to interact
with our sculpture? And more
importantly, how is it going to
i nteract with us?
Wall-E was the best
movie of the summer
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
As the cinemas
switch over from
summer
blockbuster mode to
fall Oscar hunter
mode, it's time to
reflect on the outstanding pieces put
forth this past season.
Though there were many fine
works put forth, two rose to the
top. These high caliber films
were Warner Brothers "The Dark
Knight" and Disney/Pixar's "WallE." Both were tremendous works of
entertainment, but I put it forth that
"Wall-E" was the better film.
I am aware of the large following
surrounding "The Dark Knight," so
I will address its merits and how it
was bested. The best way to put it is
that "The Dark Knight" was a more
entertaining movie, but "Wall-E"
was better film and piece of art.
"The Dark Knight" was very
good and I give it credit, but there
were some elements that made it far
from perfect.
For one, it was too dark. It was so
obsessed with being sinister that it
stumbled a bit and lost some of the
audience. It used irrelevant dark
moments to make the audience
uncomfortable and halted progress
of the plot.
The film might have been rated R
for its calm viciousness, but it was
not, which leads me to believe that
it compromised itself to get
the PG-13 rating and thus get
more viewings.
On the other hand, "WallE" remained spectacular
from beginning to end. It was
beautiful to look at. Every
shot of the earth, the land, and
space were treats for the eye.
And that is just the art aspect
of the film.
It was engrossing in its story
about humanity finding itself. Its
message was clear without being in
your face. The subtext of mankind
losing its way so dramatically that
it takes a non-human to bring them
back is timely and impacting.
"Wall-E" also had heart and emotion, whereas "The Dark Knight"
failed to produce characters one
could care about. They were both
good films, but "Wall-E" had all
the details nailed down, such as its
soundtrack. The music to "Wall-E"
subtly enhanced the mood, while
many moments of the "The Dark
Knight" had an overly dramatic
scoring that ejected the viewer from
the moment by being distracting.
Besides both films having
main characters voices enhanced
by computer, both flicks will be
remembered as the best of the 2008
summer. Yet "Wall-E" is a timeless
masterpiece, which I can see cleaning up very well this spring at the
Oscars.
Attention to detail and a brilliant
story made "Wall-E" the best film
of the summer and year so far.
Reactions to largest US immigration raid insensitive
BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISAAC
Editor-in-Chief
I always say the reason I got into
the field of journalism was to educate my readers on issues they did
not know about.
Well, here is your lesson for
today.
Last week, the largest singleworkplace immigration raid in
U.S. History took place in the small
town of Laurel, Miss. According to
an article published by the Associated Press last Tuesday, Federal
agents reportedly swept nearly six
hundred plant workers suspected of
being illegal immigrants while their
"legal" counterparts applauded.
That is, for lack of a better word,
disgusting.
No, this is not some sort of over
told statement in which I will try
to convince you that we should
have open borders. Nor is this a
rant on how I feel migrants without
"papers" should be allowed to stay
in the country.
My objective is simply to get
someone—anyone—to ponder the
whole immigration controversy
from an angle seldom expressed
in the media. It is not about being
legal or illegal, Mexican, German,
Pacific Islander or American.
It is a matter of being human, and
it is about tolerance. Simple as that.
Think of it this way: children
in this town are now not only not
being sent to school in fear of
being deported, but many are also
without their fathers, while their
mothers have been released for
"humanitarian" reasons, awaiting
a court date while being forced to
wear electronic monitoring bracelets as if they are dangerous criminals. Panic has swept the immigrant community of Laurel, Miss.,
and my money goes to say these
people are even afraid to answer
the door.
How would I know? I have been
there.
When my family came to the
United States in 1993, and Prop 187
was in full rage, I clearly remember
living in constant fear, overhearing
my parents trying to decide whether
they should separate my brother and
I so at least one of us could stay here
in the event they got deported. Yes,
my parents were illegal immigrants
and so was I, and no, we didn't jump
a fence. We simply came to this
country as visitors and decided not
to leave.
For someone who teaches classes
at Juvenile Hall, I know very well
the importance of laws and the
reason they must be followed—no
argument there. When it comes to
the over-beaten topic of immigration, however, there is so much more
to it than the black-and-whiteness of
"this is the law and you cannot be
here," mentality.
People from all over—namely
Latin America—often leave fami-
lies behind and risk their lives to
cross a desert in hope ofbetter monetary opportunities in the United
States. If you could trace your
family tree back to when someone
in your family immigrated to the
US, feel free to ask them why they
did so.
It is not that they are trying to be
defiant for no reason. It is because
sometimes that is the only option
they have.
There is a horribly misconstrued stereotype surrounding illegal immigrants, portraying them
as wanting to come to the United
States solely for the purpose of
stealing healthcare and education
benefits, and of course to take the
jobsfromAmericans.
The fact is, however, that most, if
not all, of the "desirable" jobs that
Americans cherish so much require
a social security number, not mention the mastery of the English language, something most immigrants
do not haverightoff the bat.
As opposed to another horrible
stereotype, most children of illegal
immigrants do not turn out to be
criminals who clog our jails. Sure,
there are a few bad apples who give
the rest a bad name, but that goes
with everything. In turn, most learn
to take education very seriously
and learn early on what hard work
really feels like. When one grows
up with very scarce opportunities,
one learns to not take anything for
granted, and learns that education is
the only way out.
What is most upsetting is not
the fact that 600 immigrant are
now facing deportation, or that
some women were put on electronic monitoring bracelets, or that
their children will be pulled away
from their schools and homes—
for many, the only home they have
ever known.
Rather, it is the intolerance
and ignorance that came out of
their co-workers. Applauding at
someone else's misfortune is the
most disturbing fact, because it
shows people's inability to show
a human side, to show compassion and to feel anything other
than happiness at another person's expense.
Like it or not, there are millions
of illegal immigrants in this country already, and more and more
keep coming in every single day.
Out of those millions, most of their
children will grow up to be hardworking, educated individuals. I
know because I am a product of it
and have lived it and grew up with it
all around me.
What we are is eager individuals
who want to get ahead, who want
to make something of ourselves
so that the sacrifice of our parents
was not in vain. And perhaps that is
what America needs: more people
who will contribute to the beautiful
diversity of this country.
And that, indeed, deserves
applause.

Autoraffictrocities ever
A more painful than
Campus t
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
Every time the word parking is mentioned on campus, there are bound to
be at least a few moans and groans, and
often a muttered swear word or two.
Parking is a heated subject among
the college crowd. Not only do we pay
an astronomical fee j ust to have the
privilege of parking on campus, but it
also wastes a good chunk of our time
in the mornings.
If your f irst class begins at 9 a.m.,
you can live five minutes away and it
will still take you a good half an hour
to get from your house to a parking
space. However, even though we complain most loudly about finding parking, this is not really the issue.
If you are willing to walk a little
f urther there is always a space, even
during the f irst weeks of school. It is
getting to the parking that is the issue.
Approximately half of the 30 minutes it takes to get to school are spent
getting through the lights on Twin
Oaks Valley Road.
Every large planned project, such as
the building of a University, has to be
well planned in advance. According to
the California Environmental Quality Act, the entity building the project
must do an environmental survey of
the lot they plan on developing, and
provide mitigation measures to lessen
the impact it will have on the surrounding area.
Most of these mitigation measures
are related to t raffic, meaning they
have to widen roads, add turn lanes,
retime t raffic lights or do whatever it
is that is necessary to help keep traffic flowing.
Unfortunately, Cal State apparently
did not plan as well as they should
have, as we have all been stopped at
every single light on Twin Oaks pretty
much every single day.
And if the timing of the lights is
not bad enough, once you get into the
school Craven Road is always backed
up because everyone is using the right
lane and the flow of t raffic is disrupted by the stop signs.
With the Campus Way exit off
Barham Drive as the only other
entrance to the school, it is no wonder
the t raffic is always so bad in the
mornings.
Let's hope as the college expands
and enrolls more students that something is done to reduce the amount of
t raffic present in the mornings and
make it easier for everyone to get to a
parking space.

The price we all pay
McCain, Obama collide on coastal drilling
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Obama is for change and as I like to
say, McCain will make it rain. Yes that
is a hip hop reference.
I would first like to state that this is
an opinion piece that I happen to be
writing. I encourage you to form your
own opinion and do more research on
the issue if you desire.
Write to the editor or go a step further and write for your school paper.
There is a voice to be heard and that is
your voice, our voice, a Cougar voice.
Regardless of your political affiliation, if you are a donkey or an elephant
or neither, discussing these issues is
important as the deadline nears for the
next president.
A good place for finding relevant
information on matters such as these is
Google News.
Offshore drilling? What is it? Well,
there is available oil on the shorelines
of the United States. While the effect
would not be instant, ultimately, drilling offshore would lower gas prices
stateside.
Even though I drive a Honda Civic
that gets 35 miles per gallon, I didn't
like paying $5 this summer for gas and
more recently $ 4.1 care about the envi-
ronment but I care about the people in the
environment even more.
I hope research continues and automobile manufactures constantly work on
improving their MPG. In the meantime I
want the U.S. to become less dependent
on foreign oil.
McCain seems to agree. He wants
states to be able to drill offshore. President Bush's recent announcement of his
plans to do so sent the crude oil price
stumbling down. Imagine how much fur• ther prices would descend if we actually
began drilling.
However, McCain doesn't want the
states to be forced. That is why his plan
simply allows states to drill offshore if
they willingly chose to.
Obama and McCain disagree. Obama
wants to focus renewable energy
resources. The both seem like possible
solutions to our current gas crunch. I
wish we could combine both ideas, t hat
would really be a perfect solution.
Both candidates are going to say things
that they are not going to be able to do.
This happens with all politicians regardless if they are red or blue.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. People
die for your right to be able to vote. Come
December, help decided who our next
president is going to be and cast your
vote.

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

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
The Faculty Mentorship Program (FMP) is currently accepting applications for anyfirstgeneration or financially disadvantaged juniors and seniors for the

their academic department.
The deadline to submit applications is this Friday, Sept. 5 and
maybe submitted online at www.
csusm.edu/fc/fmpmain.htm.
According to the FMP website, student protégés arrange
meeting times with their mentors throughout the academic
year. Mentors can provide students with academic advice and
career planning goals. Both students and mentors may attend
FMP sponsored events. FMP
also sponsors workshops, graduation activities, and grant support for graduate school admissions testing.
Student protégés have the
opportunity to renew their membership with the FMP at the end
of each semester.

BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
As college students we all pretty
much have one thing on our minds,
dating. It is by far the best way to get
to know a potential partner. Unfortunately, the cost of dating has
soared with the price of everything
else. The classic dinner and a movie
date will easily cost over $50 and
if you want to go out for drinks the
tab can quickly hit the $100 mark.
However, dating doesn't have to
break the bank. With a little creativity you can come up with amazing
dates that don't cost a lot.
Local Bands- Several venues
host local bands with cheap covers.
The Jumping Turtle, located off
Rancho Santa Fe, hosts a variety
of rock bands and generally has a
cover under $10. They also provide
decently priced drinks and a full
restaurant.
Museums- Museums are a great
place to share your passion for art,
science, air and space, or natural
history. Most museums offer free
admission once a month. Go to the
Balboa Park Web site for the. free
Tuesday schedule.
Sports- Get a group of couples
together for a little Ultimate Frisbee. If you would rather watch than
play, catch a Chargers game at a
local sports bar or enjoy the last few
nights of summer at a Padres game,
Park Pass tickets are just $5.
Hiking/Biking- Head south
on Twin Oaks Valley Road and
you'll run into San Elijo Hills. The
master planned community with
over 18 miles of hiking and biking
trails with panoramic views of San
Marcos and the ocean.
Coffee- Get a cup of coffee at
a local bookstore and peruse the
aisles of books, magazines, movies
and CDs.
Open House- Dress to impress
and visit an upscale community
that is showing model homes and
take some tours.
Poetry Reading- The San Diego
Poetry Slam downtown hosts reading competitions that anyone can
join as long as they pay the $5 competitor's fee. The judges are picked
right out of the audience and the
winner gets a cash prize. If you
have stagefrightyou can just watch
the show for free.
Movie Marathon- When you
want to stay in, pick a couple of
movies and make a night out of
it. Make some fresh popcorn and
sprinkle with a chopped up chocolate bar for a sweet and salty, cheap
treat.
Wine Tasting- Ifyou're both over
21, visit the Witch Creek Winery in
Carlsbad where you can participate
in a wine tasting for a $5 fee and
you get to keep the logo glass.
Ice Skating- Escape the heat of
the last few days of summer at Iceoplex in Escondido. Public sessions
cost $10 including skate rentals.
Comedy Show- If you are looking for a good laugh head to Lestat's
Coffeehouse in Normal Heights
where they have Uve entertainment
nightly. They host a weekly comedy
show and open mic nights in addition to live local bands and poetry
readings. Check the schedule online

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

All Smiles at Radiohead's
Sold Out Concert
SANDRA CHALMERS
Pride Staff Writer
Radiohead hit the stage on August 27,
on Wednesday night, at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista to a f ull
house of over 19,000 fans, according to
the amphitheatres information website
(cricketwirelessamphitheatre.com/radiohead-concerthtm)
Their sold out show was one of many
on their international tour that began in
the U.S in early May taking them through
Europe, Japan and back to the U.S by late
August, according to www.radiohead.
com/tourdates.
Radiohead's opening act, Liars, an Australian band that seemed out of place took
a droning tone to their vocals. Their sound
was gothic, and their performance was
less than satisfactory. Occasional wolf
howl screams performed by lead singer/
guitarist Angus Andrew and song titles
such as "freak out" set no melodic mood
for Radiohead's vocalist Thom Yorke's
raw sound.
At 8:30 p.m., Radiohead began their 25
song set list with "15 Steps" from there
latest album "In Rainbows" and was followed by "Air Bag" which was featured
on "Ok Computer" that made its debut in
1997.
The stage was decorated with LED
screens that draped across the backdrop,
with each screen focused directly on each
band member, changing color along each
r iff and note played harmoniously. Soft
blues to deep reds, neon colors flickered
I
M
to black arid white silhouettes of drummer Phil Selway, guitarists Ed O'Brien
and Jonny Greenwood and bassist Colin
Greenwood.
The show peaked at the sixth song,
"Talk Show Host," which was featured
on 1996 soundtrack for the film "Romeo
and Juliet". The crowd immediately
recognized the intro and excitedly welcomed the song with cheers and praise.
Simple utters of "thanks", were the
only words uttered by Yorke throughout
the show.
The set list continued with popular
singles such as "Jigsaw Falling into
Place" and "Just."
Sadly, Radiohead missed favorites
such as "Karma Police" and "Creep."
The show slowly ended with the song,
"Everything in its Right Place," in their
final encore at 11:30 p.m.
"The show was really pretty exciting,
the screens in the background really
made me feel like I was closer to the
stage!" said Vanessa, a Radiohead fan
that enjoyed the show in the theatre's
300th row.
Radiohead quietly advocated their
involvement with an MTV program
called "Exit," to raise awareness for
human trafficking and exploitation at
their concert Wednesday with pamphlets dispersed throughout concert
grounds, but they made no verbal mention of it during the performance.

for the song "All I Need" can be downloaded at www.mtvexit.org/radiohead
Sweet and Soothing
Organic Beer

Private Weissbier-Brauerei Georg Schneider and Sohn brews and bottles Weisen

Texas, imports the genuine German hefeweizen.
Georg I. Schneider began the brewery
in 1872. The 136 year old brewery remains

The organic beer pours
mildly smooth creating a three quarters inch
thick head. Surprisingly,
the head retreats within a
few minutes leaving a solid
lancet.
The rich golden textured
ale releases an exceedingly
bitter aroma. A visual inspection of the recently poured
brew excites the brain and
taste buds.
Most ales appear soft

the ale's murky appearance distinguishes itself

before a prickly wave washes over all areas of
the mouth. The organic brew tastes extremely
yummy as peculiar flavors of wheat, malt,
barley, and hops swash around.
The hps and tongue smack in sheer joy.
Longer gulps generate a prolonged shocking sensation to the taste buds. Completion of
the beer satisfies the stomach without creating a bloated feeling. Given

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

MARRIED LIFE
GRADE: C-
This dark comedy staring Pierce Brosnan and Chris
Cooper is about life in 1940's suburbia and a man's
deceptive plot to kill his wife. Though some of the
acting is good, the overall story is unoriginal and in
the end it is heavy letdown.
•}<. ) c o t j t ••• c ;OUTSOURCED
>i on»
| GRADE: B+
I It is a very timely drama about an American salesman
¡who must travel to India to train people at a call center
¡that will be taking his job. The collision of cultures
| ensues as he adapts to his situation. Comedic moments
|and romance give this film heart and make it definitely

THEN SHE FOUND ME
THE PROMOTION
Helen Hunt directs and stars in this film about a
woman in her midlife crisis. Her life becomes a
wreck around meeting her birth mother, played by
Better Midler, going through a divorce, and going
back and forth between two affairs. Ultimately the
characters are not engaging, and so is the movie.
From the very beginning this film fails. The story of
two menfightingfor a job is not clever and unoriginal.
The plot of this office comedy does not have any depth
and fails on its weak attempts at comedy.

Due to the fact that I have
been pretty much counting down
the days until school starts, my
friends have officially classified
me as a nerd.
Sure, I measure my life by
semesters rather than months and
years, and I begin reading f rom
my semester book list the minute
it becomes available. They may
or may not be right. The truth is,
however, the root of my excitement comes from knowing this
year will be a great one.
We have many developments^

and in the world: our campus
community keeps growing and
becoming more diverse while
many administrative changes
have swept out campus, not to
mention we have an interesting
presidential election ahead of us,
marriage in California is granted
to anyone regardless of sexual
preference, among many other
things.
More than anything else, it is
an exciting time to be a journalist.
So what does this mean for
you? Perhaps not much at first,
but as you newcomers become
more acquainted with our campus

Managing E ditor's welcome
some great people that come
and go, whether through our
staff, interviews, advertisers,
etcetera. However, the greatest
pleasure has come from knowing a core group that has always
stuck around to make sure The
Pride is constantly improving to serve our readers, and
that is the group of editors that
week after week—even in the
summer— have worked really
hard to improve this medium of
information.
As an organization, we are
dedicated to the coverage of
campus events and news in a
way that is fair and unbiased.
We strive to cover as much
as the campus community as
we can in each issue while
at the same time celebrating
diversity and bringing . light
to issues seldom talked about.
As The Pride's leader, I expect
and promote ethical behavior, learning and growth from
our staff. Prior to The Pride,
I dedicated my energy to covering issues mainly impacting
the Latino Community and
border and immigration controversies. I was also editor
of an award-winning college
newspaper prior to transferring
to CSUSM, so journalism has
been my religion and political
affiliation for some years now.
I look forward to interacting
with our campus and surrounding community as we work
toward serving whom we are
here to serve: you. Our readers.
Let this be the beginning of a
wonderful year.

Pride Staff Writer
It was right around this time
last year when I first stepped
foot into The Pride office a
tender footed newcomer to
journalism. A fter only a year
here it feels as if I have transformed into a weathered and
battle-seasoned newshound.
By most standards we are
considered a small campus, but
we still seem to find a way to
shake things up in a big way.
Our campus and much of the
rest of the county almost burned
to the ground. Religious fanatics trumpeted damnations in
our walkways.
Our Spring Fling ended early
because somebody jumped
off the boat. And even with
all of the crazy happenings on
campus we still managed to

pull off one of the most exciting
and positive years CSUSM has
ever seen.
Now in my second semester
as the Managing Editor at The
Pride and my third semester
total, I can honestly say that I'm
more excited than ever to be a
part of this campus.
I know that summer is not an
easy thing to let go of, but like
all things that obligate us to be
unwillingly optimistic, there is
a bright side. The good thing
about the end of summer—if
there is such a thing at all—is that
it offers up to us an unmarked
chance to create a college experience that is our own.
Like hitting the reset button,
those of us that are returning get
a renewed chance do the things
we wished we had done the year
before. Knowing the amazing
things that people are capable of
doing with these opportunities is
why I love working for our student newspaper so much.
I find it nothing but a privilege to document this college in
its infancy. Instead of walking
into someone else's traditions
we have a rare chance to cement
our own college legacy.
From where I sit, I am able to
survey the changes and growth
of a campus bristling with unrivaled potential. My only hope is
that the Pride can keep up with
all of it.
To our newest classmates, the
class of 2012: Venture a little
bit. Seize the limitless possibilities that our campus has to offer.
It will make college infinitely
better.
To CSUSM as a whole: Bring
it. We at the Pride are only as
good as the things you make
happen.

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

Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac
Editor-in-Chief
I'm starting off my senior
year as a History major, and
this will be my third semester at The Pride, and my second as EIC. In addition to the
Pride, I am a proud member of Alpha Pi Sigma sorority,
an organization dedicated to academic excellence, community service and sisterhood. Prior to becoming editor,
I ran the Features section of The Pride. Twice the Associated Collegiate Press has named me National Newspaper
Reporter of the Year, and because of it San Diego County
named a day a fter me (Nov 8). I also work as a teacher at a
juvenile detention facility and have a three-year-old son.
My name is Ben Roffee and I'm the
Managing Editor. I am most easily
identified by the obnoxious shark
backpack I haul around campus. You might also see me
sporting a "Venezia" captain's hat. I was born in Venezuela and people often mistake my Venezia hat to say Venezuela. It doesn't. I'm an odd 20 year-old Junior here at
CSUSM known best for my affinity for pugs and inability
to be photographed normally. I'm a proud member of the
• Greek community in the Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity.
I'm also known to take too many pictures with a camera
that is far too expensive for my own good. I make music in
a variety of forms, mainly via guitar or my computer, most of which I am just too reluctant
to share with the world. I have a rather eclectic array of music and I don't read as much as I
would like to.

I am a Literature and Writing Studies major and will be
graduating in Spring ' 09.1 also work at the Starbucks on
campus. When I joined The Pride last fall, I had no idea I
would enjoy journalism as much as I do. In my spare time,
I enjoy anything; reading gossip magazines at grocery
stores, watching good TV shows that have already been
cancelled, and eating Thai food.

Hello CSUSM Pride readers.
My name is Kathyrn McBrayer
and I am the new editor for the

Oceanside and enjoy good food and a good book.
Amy Salisbury

Hello! My name is Amy Salisbury
and I'm the Opinions Editor. I'm a
19-year-old sophomore and this is
my second semester at The Pride. Right now, my major
is Literature and Writing studies, and I'd like to pursue
a career that involves creative writings journalism, or
something in the media. My favorite things are Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the band Keane, both of which
are guaranteed to wind up in my everyday conversations. If you have a strong opinion about something
affecting our campus community, I 'm your girl!

am your new Business Manager for The Pride. I also work
at the Starbucks on campus and enjoy going to Disneyland
on my days off. I am extremely motivated and enjoy taking
on new challenges. I enjoy watching moviesand getting into

also work for The Pride). That's my life in a nutshell.

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

Hey I'm Crystal Evans and I'm the feature editor for The
Pride this semester. I just transferred from Palomar College
where I worked on their paper The Telescope. I am 22 years
old and am a junior majoring in Literature and Writing Studies with an emphasis in writing. I currently work as a nanny
but plan on moving to New York when I graduate to pursue a
career in book publishing. In my free time I like to travel and
enjoy extreme sports, my favorite being skydiving.

Phelps breaks Spitz's record
Beijing Olympics make swimming cool

Many stories come out of the Olympic
Games and though record setting and medal
counts are always under the spotlight, the
2008 Olympic Games in Beijing gave viewers the opportunity to witness history in the
making. Michael Phelps, the 23-year-old
swimmer from Baltimore, Maryland broke
the world record for most gold medals won
in a single Olympic Games, winning his
eighth gold medal in the men's 4 x 100meter medly relay on August 17,2008.
Previous record holder, Mark Spitz, also
a swimmer, won seven golds in the 1972
Olympic Games in Munich. After Phelps
tied Spitz for seven golds in a single Games,
Spitz told the Associated Press, "Epic. It
goes to show you that not only is this guy the
greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time, he's maybe the
greatest athlete of all time. He's the-greatest
racer who ever walked the planet."
In addition to winning the gold for each
event he participated in, Phelps, also set 7
world records in Beijing. The only event he
did not set a record for was the men's 100meter butterfly, his seventh event, in which
he beat Serbian-American swimmer, Milorad Cavic, by 1/100 of a second.
The rest of the U.S. men's swim team
and the women's volleyball team have also
received high acclaim for their performances in Beijing, Michael Phelps made
swimming the most watched event of the
Olympic Games for 2008.
In 2004, Phelps won 6 gold medals in
Athens, Greece.

Pride Staff Writer
With spring fever in the air
and finals days away, budget
cuts and governor proposals could possibly be the last
thing on students' minds. For
staff and faculty of the CSU
system and public education
across California, May is the
beginning of an uphill battle.
Today at \ p.m., the California
Faculty Association will hold
a conference call t o release
updates regarding the projected
economic impacts of Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts.
"Now is the time to raise
awareness and ramp up support
for the Alliance for the CSU,"
said Lillian Taiz, President of
CFA and a professor of history
at CSU Los Angeles. "We must
rally together and organize ourselves while school is in session to fight of these staggering
cuts because we will have more
limited resources during the
summer."
The governor will reveal his
revisions to the budget proposal
during the week of May 12. The
Alliance for CSU is asking students and faculty contact the

Wall-E Is Going to be the

BY BILLRHEIN

With the release
of " Iron Man,"
the

movie season has

a whole slew of
action blockbusters, romantic comedies, and
f amily f licks lined up. Though

The Disney-Pixar machine is

the best movie this summer.

It is hard to make a prediciiiiifipIBi
tion based on a movie I have
not seen, but I can only t hink
positively of t his f ilm based
on the material online. The
t railer is very impressive and
I
shows how this f ilm will
appeal t o people with its
humor and storyline. The
creativity in the plot is
also a clever idea. Also,
the screenshots ensure
this f ilm will be visually
spectacular. Even if I am
wrong about the quality
of t his movie, it will look
incredible, guaranteed.
I realize I am being bold
picking "Wall-E" as the best,
especially considering some
of. the other f ilms coming out.
I am sure " The Dark K night"
and others will be spectacular. In addition, some f ilms I
believe will be all f lash and no
bang, meaning they may have
a great amount of hype, but
they will let down in the quality department. "Wall-E" gives
the impression that it will be a
strong film and have appeal to
all moviegoers.
I have thought about for a
long time, and I have no doubt
Disney-Pixar will not disappoint t his summer. Recently
they have been on a strong
streak, which I do not see
ending soon. The potential for
this f ilm is high and I can say
with complete honesty that it
will get next y ear's Oscar for
Best A nimated. Nevertheless,
I will t ake it one-step f urther
and predict it to pick up a nomination for Best Picture. " Ratatouille" deserved one and my
gut is telling me t his will be
j ust as good, if jiot better. I
wish you happy viewing t his

BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
The end to another
successful school year.
And by "successful",
I mean we're all still
alive with most of
our limbs intact The
phrase "intact" is, of
course, negotiatable,
since my grandfather has a hole in
his leg that goes straight through
to China, but we'll just try to think
positive.
How could you head into
summer though without some
timeless advice from your favorite
columnist? And now that you've
read their words of wisdom, you
can have mine.
My Tips for Surviving Summer
with Style, Grace, and Minimum
Collateral Damage
1. Designate a driver. I'm not
talking about for when you drink.
I mean, in general. You're going be
much too busy with suntans and
classy internships or vacations to
worry about ridiculous things like
speed limits and pedestrians.
2. There's always YouTube.
Before you try to make your own
Studio 54 in your living room, be
aware that EVERYTHING ends
up on the internet, particularly
on YouTube. So even though you
are with one intimate partner, or
you're only going to do whatever
it is this once, or you heard it's all
the rage in the wilds ofMinnesota,
know that somehow, whatever it is,
it's going to be immortalized. And
you will never be able to run for
public office. Unless you're rich.
3. Today's tan is
tomorrow's skin cancer.
Yeah, my grandmother
spent her summer days
at the beach and her
nights working at the
telephone company. As
a result, she still fondly
remembers
switchboards, and has to have
a cancerous spot burned
off her face every three months or
so. And they had an ozone layer
back then. So put on some sunscreen already.
4. He'll still be there in the morning. Before you cheapen yourself
because it's just summer, and it's
just one night, and you're just having
so much fun, just think: what if he's
still there in the morning? Are you
gonna feel cheap or used, or just
plain annoyed? What if he wants
breakfast, or worse yet, a full-on
romance? Just because it's summer
doesn't mean everyone knows
you're "no drama before morning
coffee" clause. Your decisions will
still haunt you (perhaps on YouTube), even if you made them in the
hazy July heat
5. Have some fun. For a lot ofyou,
nothing will change, except that
your job that was part-time during
the school year will become fuUtime. Or you'll have to find a job at
all in a massive hurry. But around
the hustle and bustle, make some
time for yourself We live in a place
most people go to on vacation. Try
to sit back and enjoy it just like they
do, minus getting lost and thinking

BY VIRIDIANA PACHECOISAAC
Pride Staff Writer
Rarely do I e xperience a

quickly as t he one that is
about t o conclude. Personally,
it was a year of new experiences: I came t o CSUSM

took on t his challenging and
rewarding role as Editor-inChief. I got t o know our small

v ariety of angles, and realized more and more each day
that coming to t his campus
was the best decision l e v e r
made. The t hings San Marcos

looked into. I became appreciative of the s upport The

appreciative and amazed of

been amazed at the t ransformation the Pride is t aking, as
our dedication t o j ournalism
and to our r eaders keeps our

I want to t ake t his o pportunity t o c ongratulate those of

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

�C S U S M receives research grant
Why some get sick and othe
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
An idea that has perplexed scientists is the issue of why some
people get sick while others do
not. However, a recent grant from
the National Institutes of Health
to a CSUSM professor may shed
light on this complex medical enigma. The NIH offered
Dr. Bianca Mothe a four-year,
$440,000 grant to research the
reasons behind this puzzle. She,
along with CSUSM students,
will look at diseases in groups,
and the body's use of its built-in
defenses.
The research conducted by Dr.
Mothe and students will look
into cells called "helper cells."
They will be looking into how
these may offer natural resistance to diseases. The reason
some people may not be prone to
illness is that they have prolific
"helper cells" to keep them safe.
For those that do not have these

the research will involve looking

to a press release, hopes for this
project also includes being closer
in determining a cure or vaccine

Hepatitis C.
One of the reasons the NIH
chose Dr. Mothe was because
of her strong interest in the biological field of illness. In her
post-graduate work, she studied the AIDS virus on monkeys, which initially sparked her
concern. During this work, she
noticed how some creatures had
a natural resistance. She cited the
immune system for this because
the "helper- cells" prevented
the virus from reproducing and
taking over the species. In some
instances^ these cells were able
to destroy the virus all together.

should attend Student Life And
Leadership's (SLL) last "Survival
Series" workshop today, Tues.
May 6 during U-hour at the Clark
Field House in room 110.
' The last workshop of the year,
entitled "You Survived" is a celebration for first year students sur-
viving their first year at CSUSM.
. The event is sponsored by Student Life and Leadership and
New Student Programs, and will
feature free lunch and free giveaways to participating students.
Jenny McDonald, a student that
attended last year's event stated,
"it's a good way to relax and have
f un before finals."
This workshop will be the
eighth and final event of the year
for the "Survival Series." Event
coordinator, Eric Rowe, stated
the each event features, "tips on
how to get students involved,
how to be successful, and how
to enjoy their experience at
CSUSM."
The event is open but not
restricted to all first year students at CSUSM. Students not
able to make it to this event
should look forward to the "Survival Series" making a return in
the fall with all new events.

The National Institutes of
Health, the group who finance
this project have headquarters in
Maryland and are a federal establishment under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. According to their mission
statement, their goal is "pursuit
of fundamental knowledge about
the nature and behavior of living
systems and the application of
that knowledge to extend healthy
life." They are the head of twenty
institute branches that research
afflictions and the human body.
They study specific conditions,
such as aging and blindness, as
well as afflictions in certain parts
of the body, such as skin and
lungs. By financing Dr. Mothé,
they hope to increase understanding on the body's defenses.
Dr. Mothé came to CSUSM
in 2003 in order, to maintain
her work on understanding the
importance of "helper cells." Her
previous studies include working
with mice to observe the immune
system, which was possible
through a three-year grant. She
will continue to work at CSUSM
because of her appreciation of
the unique environment where
undergraduate students can conduct research with her. According to, Dr. Motilé, " I think we're
a good combination of research
and teaching by bringing them
into our lab."

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

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

THE PRIDE
Sombrero San Marcos: Artist recommended
BY RUDY MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
The infamous Sombrero, made popular
by the legendary pop-punk band, Blink-182,
does in fact live up to its name. The newest
Mexican food haven is located tight up the
street from campus, with perfect hours for
early morning and late night burrito fixes.
They are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday
to Saturday and offer fairly cheap prices,
especially for burrito-starved students.
Upon entering, the sizzle of the grill and
the sound of mariachi music are quite inviting. Sombrero's menu is a sea of burritos,
tacos, combination plates, and other mouthwatering deliciousness. "
For burrito critics, the carne asada burritos are fit for kings (and queens... and
everyone else in the court). The standard
carne asada is filled with guacamole, pico
de gallo (tomatos, onion, cilantro), ajid of
course, carne asada. There will not be any
unwanted stringy slices 6f chewy fat found

However, if you are a fan of

a kind of smoky and peppery

Some other favored burrito choices offered
include a California burrito, bean & cheese,
chimichanga (deep fried burrito), mix (shredded beef and bean which is quite messy but
none-the-less delicious),fish,carnitas, and for
the vegetarians: a veggie burrito which consists ofrice,beans, lettuce, and pico de gallo.
The prices of burritos range from $2.19 for à
bean burrito, $5.60 for a shrimp burrito, and
average about $4.50 after tax. Whichever
burrito you end up choosing, it will rank up
among thé top burritos you've ever had.
Tacos, enchiladas, taquitos, oh my! If
you're a fan of the combination plate rather
than a la carte items, there are 30+ combinations to choose from. Whether your fancy is
two tacos, beans, and rice, or a carne asada
dinner, theçe is àiv option for you! Not to
mention the limited time offer of $5 for any
combination plate, which should also help
your decision. Otherwise, the combination
plates are $7.05 for plates that include rice
and beans, and ^$7^9 for combination dinners, which include rice, beans, and a torti-

Karl Strauss Brewing Company brews Endless Summer
Light, a throwback to the 1964
movie "The Endless Sumpier,"
by filmmaker Bruce Brown,
in San Diego, California. Karl
Strauss operates six brewery
restaurants in Southern California. The
Carlsbad location sits closest to CSUSM.
The company began in 1989 with Karl
Strauss, his cousin, C EO and co-founder
Chris Cramer, and Cramer's college comrade and the company's president, Matt
Retner.
Karl Strauss was born in Minden, Germany; He was actually born on the land

BevMo. A simple scene most likely taken
from the movie "The Endless Summer"
identifies as the centerpiece of the packaging. Sandy tan and sun burned orange
hues color the packaging. The bottles
adoring yellow bottle caps, share the
same imaging.
The beer pours smooth, like running
water from a garden hose on a lawn on
a hot summer day. No head forms but a
thin brim of suds ensure that the rising
carbonated bubbles do not release any
flavoring of hops and malts. The beverage embodies a crisp amber color similar
to the rays rising off the waves at local
San Diego County beaches in summer
time. The light beer enters the mouth
sending a gentle surge of zest, then softens up and passes through leaving the
mouth moist.
With only 110 calories and
2.8% alcohol by ,volume
the beer serves as a great
summer refreshment for
almost any occasion. Two
weeks remain for the
spring, semester and
soon Cougars will be

will also be graduating, getting married, attending BBQ/

Coldplay releases new single
English rockers climb "Violet Hill"
BY AMY SALISBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Alternative British exports Coldplay have set their sights on June 17
as the official release date for their
fourth album, Viva La Vida or
Death AndAll His Friends. Though
fans of the band have awhile to
wait, they can delight in the generous unveiling of Viva's first single,
"Violet Hill."
Generosity may well be an understatement. On April 27, Coldplay
revealed that they would release
"Violet Hill" from the band's website entirely free of charge beginning on April 29 at 12:l3PM
(4:15AM Pacific Time) for exactly
one week. Unfortunately, the surprise announcement came too late
for the Pride to inform our favorite Brit-pop-loving classmates of
this fabulous freebie. Without any
publicity, "Violet H iir is already
receiving massive amounts of air-
play worldwide. If you haven't had
the pleasure of experiencing this
morsel of musical bliss, you are
in the right place to satiate your
hunger before Viva hits iTunes.
The song begins in a relatively
expected way. Moody ambient
guitar swims through a seemingly
empty space in a rather lengthy
40-second intro. Suddenly, frontman Chris Martin's voice pierces
through the foggy synth, "Was a
long and dark December," not to be
-confused with the Counting Crows
song. The verse seems to settle
into Coldplay's trademark heavyhanded piano only for a time, then
a hairpin turn ensues in the form of
Johnny Buckland's guitar coming
down hard in the style of A Rush
of Blood to the Head's "Politik."
No real chorus exists but Martin's
longing plea to a seemingly absent
lover, "If you love me/Won't you
let me know?" The verse to follow
bears lyrics alluding to a war of
sorts, "Priests clutched onto Bibles/
All rode out to fit theirrifles,"with
sentiments concerning the fight
akin to Keane's "A Bad Dream."
Just past the halfway point, Buckland's guitar solo utilizes a sound
that I, personally, have never heard
out of these musicians. A simple
vibe wins out in the end, conjuring
a sight of Martin sitting solemnly
alone calling out to his lost love.
The single ultimately delivers a
song structure like that of X&Y's
"Square One:" a hushed intro,
commanding verses, and a lullaby
of a wrap-up.
If Coldplay isn't your scene,
Viva may just be the turning point.
Rumored album elements include
Middle Eastern percussion, Latininfluenced rhythms, looped electronic riffs, and Martin's newfound deeper vocals. Judging by
Viva's free sample single, no one
truly knows what to expect from
the dynamic genius of Coldplay.

review: Flobots
M usicar f usion
on y our s tereo
BY ROSS LICHTMAN
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
On televisions nationwide, the
people can hear the perpetual
sound of police sirens as "Grand
Theft Auto IV" hit shelves April
29. Just in time to divert students
during finals week, this offers
addicting game play, similar to the
previous titles in the series. Also
similar to the previous games, the
gamer plays as a criminal diving
deep into the world of crime.
GTAIV takes place in Liberty
City, similar to New York City,
and follows a character named
Niko, a Serbian immigrant who is
looking for success. His past as a
soldier in the Bosnian War defines
his actions as he is air unforgiving person who uses violence to
climb the crime ladder. Though
he cares about his cousin Roman,
his true motivation is money.
The objectives of the game are
to steal cafs, avoid the police, and
do nefarious deeds for money,
much like the other games in the
series. The first feature .that sets
this, game apart is the depth of
the map. The game is set on the
islands of Liberty City, where the
creators heightened the detail as
compared to other games. The
environment is much more interactive and more buildings are
accessible, adding to the realism.
Images courtesy ofgamedaily.com
The game has a slightly cartoon
look, but the graphics are smooth
and it is a visual treat. Tactics are
also a new part of the game, as
the "rush-in, shoot 'em up" style
will get the character killed. Players must use cover and the right
weapon per situation to complete
a mission.
The game is available for Playstation 3, but it is oh the XBOX
360 where this game shines.
Players can enjoy the numerous achievements to build their
gamer score on XBOX Live. As
well, there is a new multi-player
element to the game. Online play
can range from cooperative campaign play, racing through the city
streets, to an all out urban brawl.
This offers gamers more for their
money.
However, one could not address
this game without a word of
warning. GTA IV is an incredibly violent game and is not meant
for children. Though young ones
should not be playing M-Rated
games such as Halg or Assassin's
Creed anyway, this one is different because it is so realistically
violent and contains strong adult
themes including sex and drugs.
Players should remember that it is
just a game, and should contemplate if the lack of morals in the
game makes it worthwhile.
GTA IV is certainly a wellmade game and it has raised the
bar for video game potential. Yet
due to the content, players must
think before they play.
As I drove down the freeway, I listened to the radio
and flipped through local
rock stations trying to find
anything worth listening to.
I stopped on 91X because I
heard the radio host saying
that he was about to play new
music. The song he played
was called "Handlebars" by
Flobots.
As the song started all
that was playing was a week
plucking of a violin and a guy
singing about how he can
ride a bike without holding
on the handlebars. The song
didn't sound very promising,
but I am very glad that I did
not change the station.
As the song went oh it
exploded into a combination of a very impressive rap
song combined with a rock
feel to it. When it was over
I literally sat in my car with
goosebumps. I was instantly
hooked.
The second I got home, I
looked up their album titled,
"Fight With Tools," and
listened to every track on
iTunes. Each song hit me,
and I realized that this would
be the new album that I fall in
love with. I instantly bought
it and have not stopped playing it since.
Flobots is made up of 7
very talented musicians: two
emcees, base guitarists, a
drummer, viola, and trumpet
player. They doavery goodjob
at combining the feel of a rock
song with the steady
flow of a hip-hop song.
Throughout their album the
soft horns and violins compliment their use'of steady heavy
beats in the background. I am
usually not into political music
but pretty much every song
talks about an important issue
that takes place in our world.
Their lyrics, which talk about
such issues as 9/11, Katrina, or
the war in Iraq, not only criticize
these issues but also talk about
positive things that can be done
to improve our way of life.
I was a little hesitant when I
found out their album preached '
about some of these events
because many times hip-hop
artists can stray from the real
meaning of these issues in their
songs, but Flobots do no such
thing.
I believe the track "Handlebars" is the best overall track
with its exceptional blend of
eerie lyrics and massive back-'
ground drums, guitar, and
violin. Other great tracks on the
album include "Same Thing,"
"Rise," and "Mayday!!!"
Flobots' perfect blend of
rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album
that you definitely need to check .

Alliance against budget cuts update
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Last Monday, the college community allied together for a
common cause protesting against
Governor Schwarzenegger's proposed cuts to California's higher
education system.
Protests occurred in various circuits throughout the state. In Sacramento, more than 2,000 students
participated in the march. Protesters in Los Angeles marched to the
governor's office at the Reagan
State Building. Students in San
Diego, Riverside and Santa Barbara held similar protests.
Lieutenant Governor and advocate of freezing tuition hikes, John
Garamendi, joined protesters in
Sacramento.
"There is no more important
investment than the investment
in students," said Garamendi in
an immediate press release from
the California State Student Association. "We must stop taxing our
young people, and we must once
again invest in the intellectual
infrastructure of our state."
Also in attendance at the Sacramento protest were Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate
President Pro Tem elect Darrell
Steinberg, " Assembly members

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

"It makes mefeelreally proud to

BeccaChaney.
The annual contest consists of a
ten-week long competition. During
the competition, college campuses
compete nationwide in various categories involving the reduction of
waste. With more colleges entering
each year, the contest adds categories accordingly. The contest began
in 2001 with two competing colleges. The contest seems to double
each year. In 2007, more than 200
colleges entered. In 2008, the competition doubled yet again to more
than 400 including nearby colleges
San Diego State University and
University of California San Diego,
This year the contest split the
event into Whole Campus Division and Partial Campus Division.
CSUSM won Grand Champion and
others awards in 2007 and 2006. In
2005, the contest contained only
two categories. CSUSM almost
won Per Capita in 2005 but placed
first in Recycling Rate.
"We would like to thank everyone who contributed to CSUSM's
victory by participating in RecycleMania 2008. We believe that our
strength is consistency. We have
created an environment at this institution where recycling is just part
of our campus climate. It is in our
collective culture. We simply need
to maintain our habits today and
pass on the legacy of environmental
awareness to each new generation of
students tomorrow," said Hanson.
The contest also relies on the
efforts of the Green Team and the
Blue Crew. The two groups are
major components in the competition. The Green Team conSee Recycle, Page 4

the r ecruiter r esponded saying " no, my

F ernando's son, J esus S uarez, w as
a pproached by a M arine r ecruiter at

Thursday, April 24—CSUSM President Karen Haynes held a University
Budget forum to report back on information she obtained during a system wide
presidents' meeting with CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. Haynes has worked
closely with her Executive Council and
University Budget committee in recent
weeks in preparation of addressing the
cuts to the campus community.
"Nobody's really saying that there's
going to be much of a positive solution for '08-09 and therefore, it's going
to take post the national election for
some bipartisan movement in this state
for revenue enhancement solutions for
'09-10," said Haynes, when asked how
long it would take before colleges could
see progress. "How fast that's going to
happen, post the election? People are not
quite as confident, so we are very informally saying that it could well be two
years before we can right this California
state economy."
In addition to the budget update, the
University Budget committee distributed
petitions to each person in attendance
and collected them, promising to fax
each one to the governor later that day.
Concurrently, CSUSM set up outdoor
phones and fax banks in Kellogg Plaza
for students, s taff, and faculty to tell the
governor not to cut the CSU.

Summer vacation savings:
W ays t o h ave f un in t he s un e ven o n a b udget
BY ARIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
With summer break quickly .approaching, now is the time to plan ahead for
summer vacation. College students typically have a smaller vacation budget, but
thisv should not limit f un and memorable
vacation options. Careful and thoughtful prioritizing can maximize à budget
to make the most of summer vacation.
If a vacation includes a foreign country,
a passport will be required as verifiable
identification, so have a valid passport
available well in advance of the travel
date. There are many low budget vacation
activities available—with some creative
thinking it is easy to make a summer trip
into a memorable event.
1) Road Trip
One choice is the idealistic "road trip."
It may sound unoriginal—and there are
certainly cons to this because of rising
gas prices—but a road trip is a great way
to stretch out a budget. Try offsetting the
cost by gathering a group of friends to
share the price of gas and alternate driving. There are many places to visit (such
as national parks, theme parks, friends/
family) so plan ahead with the group and
make sure to have correct directions and
factor in expenses beforehand so it can be
a worry-free adventure. For accommodations along the trip, be sure to research
inexpensive hotels and book reservations
ahead of time or have an alternative plan
to stay with family or friends along the
way, With enough people, splitting a hotel
room cost will not end u p too expensive.
To find inexpensive accommodations,
Travelocity and Expédia are good sources
that are easy to navigate and continually
advertise special deals. On Travelocity.
com there are hotel rates for as low as
$32 per night in the Reno-Tahoe area.
If a travel destination is too far away or
would be too time consuming for a road
trip, many travel packages are available
that bundle hotel costs and airline, tickets. To travel to a "hot spot" such as Las
Vegas, Travelocity offers a $226 hotel +
flight package for each person. Travelocity and Expedia offer several other moderately priced packages to other destinations, such as Miami, Florida ($454 per
person including airfare and hotel).
2) Service Projects
Another option is to forgo the traditional summer vacation and partake in an
alternative summer breaks—volunteering
efforts to help charities and relief organizations. This is becoming more popular around college campuses and even
high schools. There are many activities
to choose: building houses (Habitat for
Humanity), clearing debris from stormaffected areas, tutoring and teaching
younger children, working with hospital
patients, and teaching English to immigrants. For example, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break in March 2007 helped
the aftereffects of Katrina in New Orleans.
To volunteer in the summer for Habitat
for Humanity, the costs can range f rom
$50 to $150 and the locations are scattered across the fifty states. Check their
summer listings to find a specific date,
region, and cost: http://www.habitat.org/
y outhprograms/suppdocs/colchalsummerbreak_sitelist.pdf
3) Camping
Another low-budget vacation is camp' ing. Camping is a great way to spend
time with friends, especially for those
who enjoy the outdoors. Remember that
renting a cabin can be less expensive with
more people. There are many locations
and activities to choose from depending
on one's interests. While San Marcos is in
a great location to access many beaches,
there are other regional spots to enjoy
other water activities.
Making a reservation at a state park can
be done ahead of time online (a nonrefundable $7.50). Depending on the
group's size and how far in advance
a reservation is made, South Carlsbad costs can range from
$45.00 to $225.00. South
Carlsbad does not feature
day-use facilities. One of
the five-most visited •Cali-
fornia state parks, San Onofre, in north
Oceanside, has alcohol restrictions, so be
sure to stay on top of rules that pertain
to each park. Another state park, Cardiff, actually does not have any camping facilities, but pets are allowed.
Close by to Cardiff is San Elijo
State Beach, which does feature tents and RV sites.
To get an idea of what to
expect from other camping locations, the California
State Park's website breaks
down camping fees: http://
www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23293
4) Cruise
Though it may not be as inexpensive as some of the previous options,
a cruise is still an affordable option.

Textbook buy backs
BY B ILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The semester is coming to a close, and
it is time f or students to contemplate
what to do with the books they spent so
much money on a few months ago. Some
books are valuable in cash or intrinsic
value and may be worth keeping. However, if students want to sell books and
get money back, there are a few options.
The first option is to use the CSUSM
bookstore Buy Back. According to the
store, they will be accepting books starting May 7 in stationed tents in Founder's plaza. The University Store and Buy
Back Tents will be open until 7 p.m.
on every weekday except Friday, when
they will close at 3 p.m. The process is
simple: students can b ring back their
used textbooks where representatives of
the bookstore will examine them. They
will also scan the barcode to determine
if the book is usable next year, or if the
edition is out of date. If a student agrees
on a transaction, they will get a predetermined amount of money back for each
book, and the store can resell the book
next semester. This s ervice will r un
through finals week.
Other options lie online. Websites
such as www.booksvalue.com and www.
ecampus.com o ffer a similar service
as the bookstore. Students can browse
the site and see how much they can get
back for a copy of their book. If a student agrees on the price, he or she contacts the site, mails the book to them,
and gets money back. These sites then
sell the books to others on their site as
well as other websites, such as www.
half.com.
The previously mentioned www.half.
com is another place to get c^sh for
books, but it requires patience. This
site is a branch of www.ebay.com, but
does not require the auctioning process. Students and other Internet users
can list DVDs, CDs, and books they
wish to sell. Unlike the other options,
the seller can name his or her own
price. However, that also means waiting for someone to purchase it. A fter
a person makes a sale, www.half.com
will deposit the money into an account,
t aking a small fee for their service.
Therefore, if students do not want to
hang on to b ulky or unpractical books,
quickly. But once again, with more
people, cabins can fit up to four people, so
the cost of a small cabin can be split up.
Travelocity and Expedia offer many special cruise packages as well as cruise
companies. Expedia.com advertises Carnival cruise packages to Mexico for rates as
low as $189. At Travelocity, for a four-night, roundtrip cruise starting in Los
Angeles and traveling to
Baja California, Mexico,
and other California destinations, it can cost $209 for an
inside cabin and $609 for a suite.
Remember to have a passport ready in
advance if a travel destination involves
a foreign country. Travel agencies can
be more helpful for a more customized
approach to planning a cruise.
There are many interesting and f un
activities to take part in during summer
vacation — even under a budget! With the
ideas suggested above, there is still a lot
of room to make a vacation creative and
personable for a memorable
summer!
What to do with
unwanted textbooks
there are many options to sell them.
There are resources on campus and
online to make some money back, either
for books next year or for the festivities
summer has to offer.
In order to receive Campus Emergency Alerts you must
self register into the system!)
To further strengthen campus emergency preparedness Gal State
San Marcos has implemented a mass notification system to
communicate with the campus community during times of
emergency; This system allows students, faculty and staff to
determine how they would like to be notified if the campus should
experience an emergency

Baseball's streak ends
Despite their nine-game win streak coming
to an end, the Cougars remain competitive
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
April 22,2008 - CSUSM Baseball kicked
off a busy week of play with a tough loss last
Tuesday against Biola.
The Cougars jumped out to an early onerun lead in the bottom of the second inning
on a Tristan Gale solo home run. Biola got the
run back in the top of the third, and went on
to tack on two in the top of the fifth and one
in the top of the seventh. The Cougars closed
the gap to one after scoring two runs in the
bottom of the seventh on Jackson Chapelone
and Dane Ponciano solo home runs. Biola
added an insurance run in the top of the ninth
and closed the door on the Cougars in the
bottom half to take the win.
Despite receiving their first loss in nine
games on Tuesday, the Cougars continued
their winning ways of late as they faced Cal
State San Bernardino on Friday, taking a
close one by a score of 5-4. The Cougars got
on the board first, scoring on a Terry Moritz
RBI single in the top of the third. San Bernardino countered with a run in the bottom
of the third, and again in the fourth. The
Cougars did their damage in the top of the
sixth inning, scoring four runs on two hits
and two San Bernardino errors. San Bernardino tried their hand at a comeback in the
bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to
one. However, a solid defensive effort by the
Cougars kept the lead safe en route to the
win.
The Cougars again saw Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, this time at home for
a doubleheader that resulted in a split. The
Cougars combated a three-run top of the first
with a run in the bottom of thefirst,and four
more in the bottom of the fourth. The game
remained quiet from there on out thanks to
strong pitching and defense for the Cougars.
The Cougars could not, however carry
over the momentum into the second game of
the doubleheader. Despite coming out to an
early 4-2 lead, the Cougars could not hold on,
losing by a score of 13-7.
The Cougars' record improves to 21-16-1
on the season as they head into theirfinalregular-season game Wednesday at San Diego

to restrain from collapsing while
laughing—each story was better
than the one before. Tucker
makes friends and enemies wherever he goes. This book does,
however, demonstrate the truth
of the effects of alcohol and how
sometimes people tend to take
advantage of others. But if you're
looking for interesting stories,
each one like some legendary
college party complete with alcohol induced blackouts, you're in
for a treat.
This book is like taking the
most bizarre stories from every
scoundrel and rogue you know,
and multiplying them exponentially. Each one is more than
just risqué encounters and pan-
demonium. Rather, they are the
true encounters of Tucker Max.
During each of his crazy nights,
Tucker takes a voice recorder
with him to help him document
the nights that most individuals
would be too drunk to remember.
Some think that Tucker's
actions are too ruthless—I found
it them an escape from the reality of school. "I Hope They Serve
Beer in Hell" is a book that can
help alleviate the stress of finals
temporarily. So sit down with
a box of tissues and indulge in
what will be a memorable, tearfilled, abdominally exhausting
experience.

Street Kings
An action-filled hi
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
"Street Kings" is Director
David Ayers's second followup to "Training Day." "Street
Kings" is a throwback cop
thriller that is highlighted by
a great story and solid acting
from Keanu Reeves and company. Yes, Keanu Reeves.
Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a
veteran LAPD detective, works
in the Special Vice Squad Unit
in Los Angeles. Ludlow has
been suffering from depression
since his wife died. On top of
that, his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington
(Terry Crews) was murdered
by two gang members. Ludlow
goes on a wild and reckless pursuit through the mean streets of
Los Angeles to track down the
killers and get justice for Washington. Captain Jack Wander
(Forest Whitaker) is Ludlow's
supervisor who must keep
him from going over the
edge and out of the cross hairs
of Internal Affairs Captain
James Biggs (Hugh Laurie).
"Street Kings" starts off fast and
never slows down. Within the
first ten minutes, viewers are able
to see that Detective Ludlow is a
highly skilled cop. The movie
moves so quickly that no ones
knows who is the good or bad
cop, and by the end viewers are
surprised with the thrilling twist
of who is really good and bad.
The only aspect that outweighs
the acting of Reeves, Whitaker,
and Laurie, is the writing. This
movie may not have the most
action, but the fast-paced story
keeps viewers on the edge of
their seats up until the action
packed ending that will leave
the audience saying "wow."
Despite what the critics say, this
movie is a great cop thriller and
is Reeves's best work since "The
Matrix."

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

the most melodic and calming voices I had ever heard. I
waited until the end to see who
it was and the ending credits
read "Justin Nozuka - A fter
Tonight." I had heard Justin
Nozuka before but couldn't
purchase his CD off iTunes
because he did not sell it in
the U.S. So I went to my room
and got my laptop, searched
for him on iTunes and by the
grace of God, his CD had
j ust been released in the U.S.
Instantly I purchased h is CD
titled "Holly" and listened to
every song. I have not stopped
listening to his CD since.
He has a Jason Mraz-like
tone but hits notes I did not
know men could hit. Justin is
only 19 years old, but sings
of things beyond the average teenager's wisdom. With
songs like my favorite "Save
Him," Nozuka sings of a
woman who was abused by
both her father and b oyfriend.
His chilling vocals make you
listen to every word he says.
His more upbeat songs like
"After Tonight" have catchy
choruses that instantly make
you happy. It is safe to say I
have developed a "man crush"
on Justin Nozuka. Sadly, he
has only played a few shows
in the United States, such as
the South By Southwest Music
Festival in Austin, Texas.
Nozuka was born in New York
then moved to Toronto and
has lived there since. But due
to his growing popularity, he
is beginning to p erform more
in the States, primarily on the
east coast.
With fame coming to him at
such a tender age, I can only
imagine what great things he
will be doing in the f uture.

Civil rights activist remembered at candlelight vigil
CSUSM artists reflect on statue's significance
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA

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

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

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

The unfair stigma of "Brokeback Mountain"
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
At the 2006
O scars, t he movie
" Crash" walked
away w ith the t op
p rize. 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.

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.

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.

of the event. Team members take
turns in a sponsored walk-a-thon,
in addition to other activities, which
include entertainment, booths, and

cancer and the ACS.
Last year, Relay for Life raised
$33.3 million in California alone,
with over 12,388 participating

Participants are expected
to arrive between 5 p.m. and

Point Loma with their own

rescue mission has indicated
on their website that the
event will not be cancelled on
account of inclement weather,
saying, " the homeless sleep

"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

"The Pride center is a great
addition to ASI's programs

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

"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

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

The opening of the new University Store

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

University Store is open, there will be a to make it more of a destination where stuclerk service available, so all a student has dents that do live at UVA would want to
to do is go to the University Store, request come here to the store," said Brown. "This
is such a perfect location. We're really
looking forward to getting more involved
on the campus."
No matter what time of year, students
will always be able to find the classic gray,
white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo
wear, but students can also expect to see
seasonal fashion-forward merchandise
that reflects current fashion trends and
allows students to show off their CSUSM
pride in the store. "We carry what we call
'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is
our thing with the new cougar logo, but we
mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said
Brown.
The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and
planned with college students in mind. Complete
with an Apple computer
and product section, soon
students will be able to
test the Apple products for
themselves before purchasing
them, and all students are
eligible for the college
student
discount
available through
Apple on products
like iPods, Mac
laptops, and other
Apple
program
software that the
University
Store
carries.
With the end of the
semester approaching, Brown emphasized the big push
the
University
Store
is
doing for
textbook
buybacks.
" That's all based on teachers'
requisitions," said Brown, "so if the
teachers get their orders in, that's
how we gage our buyback. We
know that textbooks are expensive,
and there is a textbook affordability
issue on all campuses."
Whether the University Store is
a destination for textbooks or an
embroidered CSUSM sweatshirt—
there is still a big issue the Univer-
Student employee Jenny Quijada models
sweatshirts and other merchandise.
sity Store is working on to help students
on campus: the cost of textbooks. That is
why the University Store is o ffering a new
scholarship program in coordination with
ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's
something we started this past spring,"
said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI."
Each semester 10 students can receive
the scholarship, which covers the cost of
textbooks up t o $450 per student. "It w asn't
marketed for Spring ' 08—we ended u p
giving out 6 for Spring, but it's going to
be a big push for Fall," said Brown. " There
are requirements and they can pick u p all

One week from today, the United States
will celebrate its 38th annual Earth Day.
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

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.

Hypem.com or The Hype
Machine is another Internet
revolution for the music industry. 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.

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.

We have all heard of the term "minidorms," but what exactly are they?
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.

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.

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!

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.

suspense thrillers

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

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.

Last Tuesday, CSUSM invited

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."

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 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

The unfair stigma of "Brokeback Mountain"
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
At the 2006
O scars, t he movie
" Crash" walked
away w ith the t op
p rize. 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

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.

According to the November 2000 National Violence

of women in the United States
have survived a completed

21.6% were younger than age

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.

Chávez Day, which also happens
to be his birthday. The week prior
to honoring the day, the university

of the event. 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

Participants are expected
to arrive between 5 p.m. and
8 p.m. at Liberty Station in
Point Loma with their own
sleeping gear. 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

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

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

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

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

University Store is open, there will be a to make it more of a destination where stuclerk service available, so all a student has dents that do live at UVA would want to
to do is go to the University Store, request come here to the store," said Brown. "This
is such a perfect location. We're really
looking forward to getting more involved
on the campus."
No matter what time of year, students
will always be able to find the classic gray,
white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo
wear, but students can also expect to see
seasonal fashion-forward merchandise
that reflects current fashion trends and
allows students to show off their CSUSM
pride in the store. "We carry what we call
'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is
our thing with the new cougar logo, but we
mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said
Brown.
The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and
planned with college students in mind. Complete
with an Apple computer
and product section, soon
students will be able to
test the Apple products for
themselves before purchasing
them, and all students are
eligible for the college
student
discount
available through
Apple on products
like iPods, Mac
laptops, and other
Apple
program
software that the
University
Store
carries.
With the end of the
semester approaching, Brown emphasized the big push
the
University
Store
is
doing for
textbook
buybacks.
" That's all based on teachers'
requisitions," said Brown, "so if the
teachers get their orders in, that's
how we gage our buyback. We
know that textbooks are expensive,
and there is a textbook affordability
issue on all campuses."
Whether the University Store is
a destination for textbooks or an
embroidered CSUSM sweatshirt—
there is still a big issue the Univer-
Student employee Jenny Quijada models
sweatshirts and other merchandise.
sity Store is working on to help students
on campus: the cost of textbooks. That is
why the University Store is o ffering a new
scholarship program in coordination with
ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's
something we started this past spring,"
said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI."
Each semester 10 students can receive
the scholarship, which covers the cost of
textbooks up t o $450 per student. "It w asn't
marketed for Spring ' 08—we ended u p
giving out 6 for Spring, but it's going to
be a big push for Fall," said Brown. " There
are requirements and they can pick u p all

One week from today, the United States
will celebrate its 38th annual Earth Day.
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

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.

Hypem.com or The Hype
Machine is another Internet
revolution for the music industry. 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.

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.

We have all heard of the term "minidorms," but what exactly are they?
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.

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

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.

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?

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!

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.

Funny field anties can't save
mediocre cast of "Leatherheads"
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
A h, t he throwback days of football. If
only it were able to sustain u s all year long.
Instead, George Clooney's " Leatherheads"
only gives tidbits that make us long for the
a utumn tradition. H is attempt t o carve out
a piece of his own vision as a t op Hollywood f ilmmaker still feels years away
in this film set in 1925.

The music by

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).

What makes a good horror film?

few years, " The R uins"
definitely

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

" 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.

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

those who talk aloud at the cinema.
First, shouting will get a player
nowhere.
As
technologically
advanced as it is, the XBOX
360 system cannot hear you.
If the enemy kills you in
"Call of Duty," even though
you think you got a headshot,
complaining about it does
not make a difference. The
game goes on and the player
has another chance. Swearing and bellowing, "no way!"
does not take away what just
happened.
The effect of shouting is on
others nearby. Fellow players and
people nearby often do not sympathize when a game does not go as
expected. They may not be willing
to admit it, this racket is bothersome
and a waste of time. In the big picture, these other people do not care
if the player really did hit all the
notes on "Guitar Hero." Gamers
have linked unpopularity to people
who whine while playing.
Often the case in games like
"Halo" is that a grenade that was
not seen kills players or because
shots from the Battle Rifle were
not as accurate as thought. Yet this
is where most complaining occurs.
Most games are advanced enough
dispense damage fairly. However,
there are occasions where the game
glitches and something occurs
unjustly. Players must keep this
is mind and consider that they too
might have been helped by a error at
one point. What goes around comes
around.
Possibly the most annoying brand
of complaints comes from instances
where players moan about being
truly bested. In this world, fate gifts
some people in areas more than
others are. When beaten by someone of greater skill, one should
gracefully admit defeat, rather than
complain that the other person is
a nerd who only plays that game
all the time. Even thought there is
resentment against those who are
experts, other players would like
to have that skill if possible and are
just upset they are not as good
Even though pressure may be
overwhelming, players should
remember video games are just
games. Complaining does not
better the person and it only ruins
the experience for others.

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

"She should put a statue next
to the other one of Chavez that
is the same size and not smaller

grader Naomi C lift.
When asked why Huerta
should also have a statue, third
grade student Oscar Garcis
replied, "They worked together
as a team, and they were equally
important in the fight for f arm
workers rights."
The
experience
proved
enlightening to Wilson, having
received skepticism from educators over whether or not the
issues discussed would be too
complicated for young students
to comprehend.
"These kids proved that they
do understand and can grasp the
injustice of the way in which our
world judges people based on

In her discussion with students, Wilson cited many important women in history including

Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Wollstonecraft, Pocahonatas, Sacajawea, Mary Shelley, and J.K.
Rowling.
To end the discussion, Wilson
discussed the achievements and
advancements made throughout history to help women
attain their rights, adding that
letters and petitions are ways
of evoking change. Students
then collectively d rafted their
letter for Haynes stating, "We,

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

How the legacy of Martin
Luther King Jr. is still alive
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
It has been 14,614 days since
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
stepped out of his room on the
second floor at the Lorraine
Hotel in Memphis. On his way
to a dinner at the Rev. Samuel
"Billy" Kyles' home with several
of his political aides—only four
of which whom are still alive—as
history will never forget, it's no
secret that MLK never made it to
that dinner.
Shot by James Earl Ray, MLK's
assassination devastated fellow
civil rights leaders, communities, and the nation as a whole as
it embarked upon a very fragile
and controversial time in U.S.
History.
Forty years later, MLK's
legacy and dream still lives on.
From his infamous words delivered to a Memphis congregation on April 3, 1968, the night
before his murder: "We've got
some difficult days ahead, but
it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop..." MLK's ideals and
hopes for America inspired generations.
In 1963, MLK's March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom
was a milestone for all Americans and the pursuit of civil liberties, as it was a turning point
in U.S. History. It was during
this march in which MLK delivered his famous "I have a dream"
speech on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial to more than 200,000
civil rights supporters.
MLK not only fathered the
birth of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, but also rallied the 1965
Voting Rights Act, both of which
Lyndon B. Johnson made sure
passed when he took over the role
as President after the assassination of JFK.
For more information about the
legacy of MLK, or to read TIME
Magazine's in depth feature and
interview with the surviving four
political aides who were with
MLK at his death, please visit
"MLK: 40 Years Later" at time,
com.
Additonally, to learn more
about MLK, please visit thekingcenter.org, a center established
by Coretta Scott King in 1968 to
carry on the legacy of her husband and educate the future generations of civil rights leaders
about MLK's dream.

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

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

the pending end of this spring

the library provides adequate
hours to help students find the
time that best suits their schedule.
Until May 9th, students are
able to able to take the exam on
Friday, 10 A M to 2 PM and Saturday, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM in

of the course, the student satisfies their Computer Competency Requirement.
Not to mention that the four

�Sign-ups still open for powder puff football
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Boys in skimpy cheerleader outfits with makeup and pom-poms
and girls in football gear with face
paint and matching shirts are usually the images that come to mind
whenever the term "Powder P uff' is
mentioned. Sure, there are probably
plenty of Facebook and Myspace pictures out there of just that too—but
now all CSUSM students can participate in and witness such a spectacle
firsthand.
The time is now CSUSM, when
all the females on campus have the
opportunity to kick some Powder
Puff butt. Sponsored by ASI Campus
Recreation, this month the annual
Powder Puff Football event and tournament begins Friday, April 11, and
continues the next Friday, April 18
from noon to 4 p.m. The event and
the games will take place on two
designated fields at the lower field
located on the corner of Twin Oaks
Valley Rd. and Craven Rd.
Signups are open at the Clarke Field
House in FH 119 through Friday the
11th at 12 p.m. However, space is limited as only the first 12 teams to register can participate, so for those interested, don't wait too long, or the only
available spots will be the ones at the
sidelines watching.
To register a team, at least three
people from a team need to be present, and one of those three present
needs to be the team leader. There
can be eight people on a team plus a
coach. Teams are encouraged to have
coaches, so feel free to invite a boyfriend, brother, friend, husband, or
classmate to coach a team.
Once a team is registered, the rest
of the individuals on the team can
stop by the Clarke anytime to add
herself to the roster. Registration for
the tournament costs $5/person, but if
CSUSM Softball s taying
s trong down t he s tretch
a registrant has participated in any
intramural activity previously this
year and already paid the $10 fee
for the year, then registration is free.
There will also be a "Free Agent"
team with an open roster for anyone
who does not have ateam but wishes
to play. Teams are also encouraged
to matching uniforms—though not
required—however, there may be a
reward for the "Best Uniform."
Saul Garcia of Campus Recreation said, "The winning team will
all receive
Intramural Champion shirts and
have a plaque with their team name
and picture on it in our trophy case
which is located in the hallway of
thefieldhouse."
All teams will play in the tournament both days. On the 11th' teams
will play two games and then on
the 18th teams will be ranked and
participate in the single elimination
tournament.

�Making Spring Break last Locals shine at the Orange
County Music Awards
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Oh! Spring Break, how I love thee! Let
me count the ways! You are the best time
of year because you bring about some of
the greatest things this world has to offer:
Hot girls and, of course, wet t-shirts! Well,
no. Okay, yes, but that is neither here nor
there. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick
in a wet t-shirt, but that is not how to make
Spring Break last. So what does make
Spring Break what it is? What are some of
the greatest things about Spring Break that
make it so wonderful and so seemingly
long?
Spring Break for me is sitting in a hammock, sipping an ice cold beer, getting a
little drunk and enjoying the fact that I get
to spend some well deserved time relaxing. For me, a graduating senior, I am just
counting the days until I get to bid this
school farewell for my undergrad work.
But this last semester before I decide that I
am done, I'm taking this last Spring Break
to cherish the time I have left.
I think back to my childhood of listening
to the relaxing tunes of movies like "Endless Summer" back in the 70s. Those surf
tunes are absolutely soothing and relaxing.
I just want to crank that while allowing
the alcohol to permeate within me, creating the perfect feeling of a complete lack
of care. But what is the greatest way to
make this Spring Break last as long as it
possibly can? This is how.
Grab a good drink, turn on some good
music and relax. Whether you are going on
a trip or just staying at home this Spring
Break, there is nothing more relaxing and
naturally soothing than just letting life
pass you by as you relax. Whether you
enjoy the classic surf tunes from "Endless Summer" or something like the everamazing Bob Marley, just throw some of
that on and have yourself a relaxing time.
Maybe even take a few hours to hang out
with friends and watch a good old classic
80s film like "The Goonies" or perhaps
even "The Adventures in Babysitting" don't lie, you know you love that one!
For me, I took this Spring Break to get
a variety of relaxing goodness. I went
camping in Big Sur and enjoyed some
amazing beer as well as a swig or two of
my favorite rum - all while spending time
with my family. I went to Disneyland and
spent some time with our most beloved
rodent - but what did you do? However
you spent your Spring Break, I hope that
you were able to enjoy a good time that
was just as relaxing as mine - I know it
was needed and deserved - so, with that,
I say, "Cheers to you! Now back to the
grinding stone."

Amid the glitz and glamour of Orange
County are many bands that deserve
some recognition. This year at the Orange
County Music Awards, there were a few
surprises but also some expected wins.
A few of the bands that I have seen on a
regular basis here in Orange County were
up for some of the awards at this show.
Of the many nominations, among the sea
of names were some that I recognized
easily. Of these known names, I actually
was quite hoping the best for a few of
them. Hollowell, for example, was up for
Best Live Electric Band. Though they did
not win, they still get to enjoy their time
overseas with the troops in Iraq, starting on April 3, 2008.Last year's winner
of the Best Alternative Band, Sleepless
Me, had to step down as the title-holder
of that award this year. This year, the
Best Alternative Band award went to a
band called Bayadera (http://bayadera.
ning.com/). Personally, I've never heard
of them, but they won the award so they
must have something good to offer. Give
them a listen. Perhaps they actually are
as good as their award would suggest.
Sleepless Me is not the only former
winner to have to step down. Deccatree,
last years Best Indie Band, no longer
holds that title because of this year's
winner, Chris Paul Overall (www.myspace.com/chrispauloverall), snagging the
title. Overall is one of the most talented
musicians in the Orange County area
with a 5-octave vocal ability. If you want
to hear true talent, you need to check out
this guy.
As for the last honorable mention from
me, we have the winner of the Best Live
Acoustic Male: AJ DeGrasse (www.myspace.com/ajdegrasse). AJ plays every
Tuesday at the Gypsy Lounge (www.
thegypsylounge.com) in Lake Forest, CA
with Chris Paul Overall, as well as many
other great Orange County artists. The
only real way to explain AJ's voice is - it
is big. His voice really takes the whole
stage.
If you are interested in any of the other
information regarding who was nominated and who won some of the other
awards, check out www.orangecountymusicawards.com and you will get every
bit of information you could ever want including pictures from the event that was
held at The Grove of Anaheim. I think I'd
say that all who won - won big!
Finally, a reason to buy a Wii
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
After weeks of product testing, the consensus of gamers is that "Super Smash
Brothers Brawl" is the first
game that makes owning a
Jill
Nintendo Wii necessary.
While the system is unique
with its motion
s ensitive
con-
trollers, there was not enough support to justify
investing in the system. However, "Brawl" has
changed that. It is a fun, addicting game that
takes minutes to learn, and countless hours to
master.
Released March 9 in North America, this
is the third game in the SSB series. The game
play is simple. It is a third person side-scrolling
fighting game, featuring characters from classic
Nintendo games present and past. These include
Mario, Link from "The Legend of Zelda,"
Samas Aran from "Metroid" and several new
characters. Both others games were excellent,
and this is no different. The graphics are stunning and the interface is well done.
Where this game stands out is the new storyline. Several villains, including Wario,
Bowser, and King DeDeDe from the "Kirby"
series, have kidnapped other characters and it is
the gamer's responsibility to track them down.
Starting with only a few playable heroes, players find more allies as the game progresses
across the Nintendo world. Though it involves
multiple storylines, the game is engrossing and
appeals to people who have not even played previous installments in the series.
The definitive best part about "Brawl" is the
new features for multiplayer. Snake from the
"Metal Gear Solid" series and Sonic from the
"Sonic the Hedgehog" series are two of the most
notable additions. Each has intense moves to
bring to the battlefield, and they are not the only
new faces. There are also new maps to battle on,
as well as the mapmaker feature. Finally, new to
the game is the final smash attack. Occasionally
on the map, the SSB logo will appear and when
acquired, it grants the player a special power
ranging from more potent punches and blasters to access to allies and super-powered weapons. Each time the option to obtain this occurs,
gamers may temporarily forget about the battle
to get hold of this power.
The idea of the game is simple, but Sora Ltd.,
the developers of this game, but not the previous two, has included several facets to make the
game more enjoyable. Even if the financial situation may be tight, this game is five stars and
justifies buying a Wii.

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

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

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

wonderful product of a

La Fe Tortilleria is small restaurant on

With its cozy space, it can be hard

is this restaurant with a plethora of

students wants and needs in a Student Union. In attendance to conduct the research were Brailsord &
Dunlavey Facility Planners and the
HGA Architecture Firm.
The first question addressed to
students in attendance was why
they chose to come to Cal State San

but mostly had to do with small
class sizes and location. Consistent
with the focus on student wants

.with discussion surrounding what
students would like to see in a Student Union on campus.

In 2002, a gallon of gas cost_
roughly $2 in Southern California. Six years later, the cost

San Diego bans alcohol on beaches
O ne year trial b an in effect
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
On January 14, after a San
Diego City Council vote, a
one-year trial ban of alcohol
on beaches and in many public
parks went into effect. The vote
was 5-2, the minimum needed
to pass it. The ban includes locations like La Jolla Cove, Mission
* Beach and Ocean Beach.
Banning alcohol on beaches
has come up with the city council in the past. In 1994, the city
council voted for the same type
of one-year trial ban, but opponents gathered enough signatures
for a referendum, and the council
was forced to repeal the ban. In
2002, the ballot included voting
on an 18-month alcohol in parts
of Pacific Beach and Mission
Beach, which was rejected by a
narrow margin.
About 30,209, or 5% of registered city voters, would be needed
to force a referendum in the same
manner at 1994. The group,"

As students anticipate spring

keep safety as a priority.
Throughout this week,, SHCS
is hosting various events to promote awareness for a safer spring

be held on Wednesday at Clarke
Field House, with a lecture perfornfajlce entitled "JMSpot: A Sex

sex educator Jay Friedman.
According to Health Educator
Cathy Nguyen, "I've seen him
perform at a San Francisco conference and he was very entertaining. I think students will find
the performance educational and
funny and I hope that they will
be able to walk away with more
knowledge about sex and healthy
relationships."
Today, the campus is having
a survivor fair that includes a

deliver four upsets
in the second day of
first round games.
In the first game,
No. 12 Western Kentucky
watched their lead dwindle as

the game. Then Western KenK V W tucky took care of business in
overtime when Tv Rodgers hit a
: three point buzzer beater. Then
No. 13 San Diego was able to
hold on and win in overtime
against No. 4 Connecticut.
Later in the a fternoon, No. 13
Siena took care of business and
beat the struggling No. 4 Vanderbilt by winning by 21 points.
Then the final upset of the first
round took place when No. 12
Villanova was able to control
the flow of the game and beat
' ' i / 1 ^ No. 5 Clemson.
Then add No. 10 Davidson,
Western Kentucky, Villanova,

But despite losing a

round, I am happy

The Ugly
This one is easy: Duke! No.

Duke. Belmont tasted their first
tournament victory in history
with 11.9 seconds remaining in

it was West Virginia who was
able to get the ball down low

As if the controversies

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

Can it "Country Pop"
BY BILL RHEIN

W hen I t hink

by
J ohnny
C ash, C harlie

s eems t o have sold out. T here is
a d istinct d ifference in t he t empo
and sound of c ountry music t oday
as c ompared t o p ast decades.
T he p eople in t he music industry could c larify t his by labeling
m odern music of t his n ature as
" country p op."
One d ifference I find between
the two eras.of country music is the
popularization of t he new breed.
Today p erformers have replaced
the dated ' twang' sound with synthesized vocals and electric guitar.
Like all genres, it seems it is more
about the money t han the music.
If this were not t rue, there would
not be an entire television station
devoted to c ountry music, and in
f act, there are two. T his changeover, with singers such as Shania
Twain, is an i nformal selling out.
A nother reason f or t his clarification is the ability for lyrics t o be
change into other genres. Carrie
Underwood's t une "Before He
C heats" could j ust as easily
become a p op or R&B song. On
the other hand, Cash's " Ring of
F ire" and Daniel's " The Devil
Went Down to Georgia" do not
sound right p erformed any other
way, such as in Guitar Hero III.
Yet most songs by groups such
as the Dixie Chicks or Rascal
Flatts have a popularized lyrics
and tempos:
t he n ail in t he c offin f or t his
involved e xamination of another
g enre. Rock widely encompasses
m any styles and t ypes of music.
C ountry is l arge as well, but
people do not b reak it into subgenres. A s for rock, t here is classic r ock, blues-rock, psychedelic
r ock, p op r ock, a lternative rock,
and m any more t ypes. Some
g enres when blended receive
a ppropriate t itular s tatus, yet
c ountry is u nwilling t o budge.
People place a rtists like Molly
Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd into
" southern r ock," t hough t here are
definite c ountry influences in t he
music.
There is more t o the f acets of
country music the j ust country
western. Based on the style of
music in both lyrics and instrumentation, it is f air to label the
m odern country music scene as
" country pop."

"While spring offers a f un and enjoyable week away from school, college students need to be aware of safe and responsible activities " said Tracey Armold. "Just
because we have the capability to drink
alcohol, doesn't actually make us adults, it's
how we conduct ourselves and how we are
held accountable as well."
For years, spring break has been notorious for its high levels of excess drinking
and sexuality. However, recent studies have
shown a change in trends. A Nielsen Media
study shows 84% of college students drank
responsibly and 90% think providing community service projects to college students
is a good way to spend their spring break.

CSUSM. CSUSM currently holds the label

Locally, San Diego City Attorney Michael

"San Diego city beaches are now alcohol

The trend seems to show no mercy. Gas

Thanks to websites
such as YouTube and
Photo Bucket, unconventional art is on
the rise. One of the most notable and skilled
unconventional artists is Phil Hansen.
Though his works reflect the same skill as
most drawings and sculptures, Hansen uses
several unique tactics to create his art. In
one of his works, "Influence," he only uses
paint and his own body as a canvas. However, he has also used pinecones, other parts
of nature, a blowtorch, and his own hands
and feet as paintbrushes.
"Influence" is a video of Hansen painting
thirty pictures on his own stomach—most
of which are of people that influenced him.
Not only is being able to point on one's own
chest a skill, he does it thirty times and with
incredible skill. Hansen paints each picture
A video of
inspiration
over the one before it. He reveals his
clever thought process in the end when
he peels the entire work off and cuts it
into two faces opposite each other.
The skill of his work comes from the
material he chooses to use and/or how he
makes it. There are instances where his
piece is made of eggs, Starbuck's cups,
or matches, in which he cannot create an
outline, and most times, he does not have
the final picture before him. The project
wraps around him and he can imagine the
entire work in his mind without physically seeing it.
There is more to his work than just
"Influence." He has created over a dozen
works of art, most of which become
destroyed in the process and only exist in
online videos. His videos are on YouTube,
but his main website is www.philinthecircle.com, where viewers can watch the
production, completion, and destruction
of his art.

0 - Team's Spoon Wars
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Has anyone else seen random students
around campus carrying bright green spoons
in their hands? It's more than likely that the
answer is yes, so this brings about the question
of why? Why are students carrying around
bright green Kermit spoons, to be exact?
Well, it looks like the answer can be found
at Student Life and Leadership, where many
campus inquiries can be answered. For its
second year, the Orientation Team from Student Life and Leadership—also known as the
O-Team—is in the middle of a war: a spoon
war.
What initially began as a way for the
O-Team to grow and learn about one another,
has quickly evolved into a new tradition here
at CSUSM that is integrated within the entire
campus community. Implemented by Jennie
Goldman, the director of New Student Programs, and O-Team Director John Hall, this
new tradition is an adaptation of the game
"Assassins."
"Each person on O-Team was given a bright
green Kermit plastic spoon," said O-Team
member Angela Ortiz. "We are to carry the
spoons everywhere. They need to be in our
hand and if we let go of the spoon, it must be
able to fall." Throughout the war, each participant has an assigned "target" they are watching. If they catch their target without
their spoon, their target is out—or
technically speaking, "spooned,"
by their hunter, and then the target's target becomes the hunter's new
target. Everyone on the O-Team is a
hunter and a target during the spoon
war.
"We cannot tag a person while they
are working or if there is a presentation going on during one of our O-team
meetings. Other than that, you can tag
a person anytime, anywhere," said Stepha-

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

�An elephant never forgets...
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
In a world briefing released by
the New York Times on Feb. 28,
the Associated Press announced
that South A frica's government
said it would end a 13-year mor• atorium on killing elephants
beginning in May to reduce the
overgrown population of South
A frican elephants in hopes of
protecting the ecosystem and
impacted wildlife parks. The
brief stated that at the t urn of
the 20th century, there were
only 200 elephants in South
A frica. Now, there are between
18 and 20 thousand, according
to varying sources.
A 11
s ources
a gree
though, that the number of
elephants currently in South
A frica is expected to double by
the year 2020—merely 12 years
f rom now.
Interestingly enough, there is
another population of elephants
that is undergoing population
problems. However, t his p opulation's problem i sn't overgrowth, it is extinction. 5,853
miles across the Indian Ocean,
in Laos, once heralded for
i t's numerous herds and once
dubbed the "Land of a million elephants," only has what
is believed to be 700 Asian
elephants l eft in the wild. In

South A frica where n atural
vegetation is t aking a b eating
f eeding the some 20,000 .elephants there, that can each eat
5% of t heir weight a day.
According to the World Wide
Fund for N ature, it is estimated
that there are only 25,000 wild
Asian elephant^ l eft and 15,0.00
captive Asian elephants. A
hundred years ago however,
Thailand is thought to have had
upwards of 100,000 Asian elephants. So why are there so few
Asian elephants l eft in Laos?
T hanks to f armers, p oachers,
loggers, and dam builders (who
all use elephants as t heir labor),
i t's becoming harder for the
endangered elephants to survive the t hreats and demands
of man.
Naturally, the f irst thought
one might have is to j ust ship
some—or in t his case thousands—of the South A frican elephants to the lush and
under-populated
Laos.
However, the two species of elephants are
vastly d ifferent. And
now, t hrough DNA test-

Earlier last week, the Associated
Press released an article about the
nation's drinking water supply being
contaminated with pharmaceuticals.
The Associated Press conducted a
five-month long investigation that
revealed pharmaceutical drugs in the
drinking water supplies of 24 large
metropolitan areas.
Trace concentrations ofiheart medicine, infection fighters, estrogen
hormones, anti-convulsarits, mood
stabilizers, and tranquilizers were
found in areas including southern
California, New Jersey, [Michigan,
and Kentucky. Similar drugs were
found in upstate New York and in
Philadelphia, other medicines such
as asthma, high cholesterol, and epilepsy were found. In southern California, anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety
medications were revealed in treated
drinking water that 18.5 million
people consume.
The article reports that over the
past couple of years, Americans'
intake of prescription and nonprescription drugs has increased. The
i
contamination of water could conceivably be traced back to metabolized use (drugs do not just "stay" in
our bodies and are "flushed out" and
back into the water supply) or simply
unused by humans.
Additionally, there is the issue of
contaminants, such pesticides and
lead that have been focused on and
regulated because higher concentrations presented a clear health risk. In
regards to pharmaceutical drugs, some
officials note that human safety may
not be jeopardized because of studies
done with larger amounts of trace concentrations and lab animals.
Other officials are concerned
because humans consume water
every day consistently and in respectable amounts. Another point of view
on the subject is that pharmaceuticals,
contrasting to other contaminants, are
designed for the humans. With a compounding consumption, these trace
amounts could especially affect and
be more devastating to those more

found trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in Asia, Australia,
Canada, and Europe. There are
also documented health issues
with wildlife that are being further investigated.
It is also important to
address that based on what
the pharmaceutical industry
knows, they justify that there is little
effect on human health by these
trace contaminants. While this is
important news, the AP did not conduct a comprehensive, scientific study
to examine the full effects of this on
humans, so these discoveries cannot conclude a specific causeand-effect relationship
on humans. Many scientists emphasize that
research is limited on
this subject matter and
a lot of information is
unknown.

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

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

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

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

in areas of Travel Writing, Podcast Journalism, Photography and Film Documentary.
Any students in the fields of communications, journalism, media, arts, writing and/
or lecturers are encouraged to apply. There
are no specific eligibility requirements but

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

Don't be fooled. A movie with the
promised antics of Jack Black may sound
tempting, but this is one comedy that
doesn't fulfill its intended purpose.
Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker
who attempts to destroy an electrical plant
that he believes is reading his mind. But
when his plan goes sour, his magne
tized body ends up erasing all the
tapes in his friend Mike's (Dante
'Mos D ef Smith) video store, conveniently named Be Kind Rewind.
With a store full of blank videotapes, Jerry and-Mike embark on a
not-so adventurous journey to remake
some of the most memorable movies
of our time. The ironic idea in this disappointing movie is that some of the best and
most memorable movies are being remade,
which just begs you to ask yourself the question: Why aren't I watching those movies right
now?
Considering this is a comedy, I found myself
NOT laughing 90% of the time. Don't get me
wrong, the remakes that the protagonists made
were amateurishly comedic, but the entire movie
just failed to move the audience emotionally.
The remade movies, although humorous, failed to be
consistent and plentiful enough to act as a driving force
in the film. While Jack Black's performance was usual
Jack Black as always, Mos Def came across as a little
slow and boring, and that is definitely something that
comedies are not about.
With somewhat bland characters and an even
duller story, "Be Kind
Rewind" fails to hook
the audience with its
scarcity of laughter.
Chances are you'd
be better off
staying at home
and listening
to your Tenacious

Stone Imperial
Russian Stout
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Stone Brewery brews and bottles Stone Imperial Russian Stout
in Escondido, California. The
brewery originally opened in San
Marcos in 1996. In 2006, the company moved to a new facility in
Escondido to better meet product
demand. The current facility is
capable of producing of up to 250,000
barrels. Stone Brewery should be in
Escondido for an extended amount of
time.
The brown glass

22 fluid ^ ^ H ounces.

a throwback to Imperial
Russia, squats holding a
mug of stout. The bottle
has a bright blue outline
while a foggy white outlines the gargoyle. A shiny
gold glazed bottle cap,
featuring the company's
logo in black stencil, caps
a bottle with an alcohol by volume of
10.8%. The double than average AVB is
characteristic of Imperial Russian Stouts,
which often have ABVs of 10-11% The
stout retails for $5.99 at BevMo.
The stout pours chunky — a rich black
liquid fills the glass. A thin head forms
and disappears quickly. The stout radiates
a gothic blackish-purplish color. Coffeelike aromas seep into the surrounding air.
The murky stout first attacks the tongue.
A subtle tingling sensation spreads
throughout the taste buds.
The stout gathers intensity during the
peak of consumption and finishes off the
rest of the oral cavity like a Jackie Chan
fight scene. The stout leaves a powerful rolling wave of energy as the stout
descends below. The lips smack in joy
and demand more.
Stone Imperial Russian Stout should
be consumed leisurely in a relaxing environment to fully experience the adventure.Unwind during spring break with
this week's stout. If considering the stout,
visit a local BevMo quickly as the stout is
scheduled to disappear after spring. Have
a f un and safe spring break, Cougars!
OneRepublic
"Dreaming Out Loud"
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Thirteen tracks of juicy vocals and teasing guitar—OneRepublic's "Dreaming Out
Loud" is sizzling. A scintillating blend of
what falls easily on the ears as a mixture
of The Fray, Maroon 5, Keane, and Snow
Patrol, "Dreaming Out Loud", off Interscope Records, is heating up the charts and
the airwaves across the nation.
"Dreaming Out Loud," moved from slot
45 last week, to slot 20 this week on Billboard's Hot 200 albums. The single "Apologize" featuring Timbaland is #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, and "Stop
and Stare" is up three spots to the #9 song
on Billboard's Pop chart, and is also #9 on
iTunes' Top 100 Songs. Not only that, but
"Apologize" is the #17 most downloaded
ring tone in the nation this week, falling in between "The Devil Went Down to
Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band and
"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
The album opener, "Say (All I Need),"
is a scenic ballad with a techno flare,
promptly followed up by "Mercy" which
was most recently featured on the March
13 episode of "Smallville," along with
"Apologize" and "Stop and Stare." Following "Mercy" is "Stop and Stare"—which
stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it.
It's that good.
Then comes "Apologize," and there really
isn't that much to say about this track other
than it's amazing and catchy. "Goodbye
Apathy" which falls directly after "Stop and
Stare" and "Apologize", mirrors The Fray's
sound so closely, it could most definitely be
mistaken for a track like "Little House" off
their last album, "How to Save A Life."
Track 7, "Tyrant," brings to mind
"Erlkonig" by Franz Shubert with it's
pounding one note intro, and it definitely
isn't the strongest track on the album, but it
is apparent they were trying something different, as this track has a little more of a U2
and Bon Jovi vibe.
"Prodigal" starts out slower, and leads
in with creeping vocals that could be compared to Snow Patrol and Keane as the song
slowly builds into a full-blown pacing rock
song with a hint of the Beatles, circa "I am
the Walrus" era.
*
"Won't Stop" has a bit more of a Nashville feel to it, with violins and percussive
elements accompanied by a confident steel
guitar and curious piano interludes. "Someone to Save You" and "All We Are" sound
pretty much the same, except for the really
lame sounding drum intro on "Someone to
Save You."
Except for those two tracks and "Tyrant,"
the rest of the album is solid, and even
though the "Timbaland featuring OneRepublic" version of "Apologize" rocks, I have
no doubt they could have made it to the top
without his help.

Spring Fling halted early
Night under the stars takes terrible turn
ASI Elections
coming soon
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Sat. March 15—Spring Fling,
the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut
short after a guest in attendance
jumped overboard. The dance,
held on the San Diego Harbor
Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego"
yacht, began late due to a lack of
cooperation from many guests in
attendance. As the entrance room
to board the boat crowded, secu?
rity asked guests to separate in two
lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests
became restless the longer they had
to wait.
Visibly intoxicated students
boarded the yacht, while one guest
even vomited on several students.
Once students settled on the yacht,
they visited the casino tables or
the dance floor. However, roughly
forty-five minutes after the yacht
departed, casino dealers closed
their tables and security informed
students the dance was over. None
of the intended raffle prizes were
distributed.'The yacht docked at
least an hour and a half earlier,
even though the original end-time
for the event was 12 a.m.
"I am ashamed of our school
As Americans contemplate
who will be the next leader of

Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March
24-27.
This year, all positions of

include ASI President and CEO,

Vice President of Marketing,
Vice President of Finance, Student at Large Representative, and

major Kristina Lawler. "I could
not believe they allowed people
under 21 that were visibly drunk—
couldn't even walk-^-on the boat. I
even saw two people having sex in
the middle of the poker room, next
to. the dealer. The security guards
came and I heard them say, 'This
tìiing is over. Everybody needs to
start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're
going back to shore."'

Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare
Strieker provides related
articles for students to read
beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first
article, "Arguments Mount for

by David R. Francis, discusses
the health care system and the
promises made by presidential
hopefuls. The second article,
"Coming Soon: Healthcare

discusses McCain's aim for tax
credits for private insurance
policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's
aim for health insurance for
children.

Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos Sociology professor Dr. Marisol ClarkIbanez knows a special second
grader, and it breaks her heart.
This student, she said, studies hard, is smart and will often
challenge herself to study harder
~ the prototype student that often
excels in her educational career.
The circumstances, however, are
against her.
This second grader is among
the millions across the country
who are illegally brought to the
United States by their parents—
often becoming Americanized—
only to grow up t o fund their
opportunities are cut shod upon
high school graduation.
CSUSM migrant advocate
group Esiritu de Nuestro Futuro
(Spirit of our Future) held a
forum March 13 to bring awareness to SB 160 or the Development, Relief and Education for
Alien Minors (DREAM) Act,
a legislature that would grant

Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not
the easiest thing to get people
to do. As diverse as the college
camgus may be, we all speak the
same language when it comes to
our money.
Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every
member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts
personally affect them. Increased
prices of parking permits will
soon be the least of our worries.
While the increased permit
fees will go to use—in theory, the
increase in tuition fees only serve
to alleviate the cuts to the CSU
system. According to Budget
Options for student to get involved
Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its
revenue from State of California
appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget
Committee (UBC) is in charge of
deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions.
Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs,
University Advancement, and
Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an
8.15% reduction from their fiscal
year 2007-08 permanent revenue.
As luck would have it, the state
finalizes the proposed cuts during
summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal
in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize
a bill, similar situations rarely
render results by the appointed
deadline.
If that is the case, we may not
know for certain what the final
budget is until early fall. The issue
is not what is going on but whether
anything can be done to change it.
The overwhelming majority on
campus agrees that this situation
is awful.
What does this all mean?
What can I do about it?
Where can I find out more?
Visit www.allianceforthecsu.
org and www.csusm.edu/plan/
budgetcentral for anything and
everything you need to know.
Candidates of the presidential
primaries have sold promises of
change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact,
the answer—it has to begin at
the grassroots. CSU may be the
solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead
of putting the issue on the back
burner until fall (when it will be
too late to contest it), students
need to infiltrate in full force—
volunteering, making phone calls,
sending letters.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Animal Crackers
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Dear
Animal
Cracker People,
I've finally reached
my limit. I can take
no more. Your incompetence has haunted
me since I was a small
child, and today, we
settle this once and
for all.
There was no higher
treat as a tiny person than your own box of
delicious and educational animal crackers.
It was like an edible National Geographic
special. They also contained significantly
less false advertising than those frosted
circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to
the circus expecting to see pink-spotted
deliciousness and instead got a bunch of
depressed elephants.)
After years of eating your product though,
I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a
problem to your attention. With every box
I open, I should be able to start an entire
zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic
example from a box consumed on March
17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a
hippo's hind end.
To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I
am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to
a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels,
a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What
do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe
It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR
LESS THAN I DESERVE?!?
In addition, I've had an extremely tough
week. I understand that divine healing,
funeral arrangements and hair straightening
probably don't fall under your company's
jurisdiction, but I really don't know how
I'm expected to accomplish or support any of
those things when all I
have is one left side of a
rhinoceros.
Perhaps it isn't your
fault as employees of the
Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents
that happen during shipping. But I
beg you, please consider taking a more
proactive approach. If these "accidents"
all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your
holding pens and the supermarkets of this
country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I
would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if
you put them in breathable crates, with each
animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I
wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear
leg of a donkey.

you re not
i nt e n tionally trying
to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to
a company's attention. But now that you
know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of
this nation, never have to settle for headless
lions again.
Love and kisses,

The next and final Pizza and
Politics for this semester takes
place on April 22, Earth Day, in
Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will
lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing
attendance. Therefore, attendees
should arrive as early as possible.
"Maybe I would like to see
Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be
interesting and effective with a
few revisions," said Sophomore
Social Science Major Gabriella
Pruitt.
Future topics for next semester
include poverty and the economy,
immigration, and the 2008 Presidential Election. ADP also plans
to co-sponsor mock debates for
students.
"If you have a chance, you really
should make it to one of these
meetings. They are very informational, and it is not useless information. It is stuff about our lives.
So at least attending one would be
beneficial to each of us, I think,"
said Senior Literature and Writing
Major Adam Lowe.

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

�Extended Learning at CSUSM The Compact:
How t o stretch your education even further
BY ARIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
Here at CSUSM, there are many unique programs to
suit students' academic or professional needs. Of special
note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is
not exclusive to students, but is open to the community
as well. Extended Learning features many educational
courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or
personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known
as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The
Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both
the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education
studies, and ",workshops."
In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that
Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County
and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North
County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in
San Diego's North County. Leadership North County
begins every year in September and carries through June.
Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008.
Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to
discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that
are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a
strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership
Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County
by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional
leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership
North County appeals to those who might have more
experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are
valuable assets to students and community members who
want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders.
Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning
Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit,
noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The
eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large—
there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices
varying course by course. These online courses encom-
pass many areas including business, education, finance,
healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment,
service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion
with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit,
noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing
education option is a useful feature of the eLearning
Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within
their career field. The eLearning Center is a great
resource to fulfill those requirements and provides
of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The
Online Certificate Program is available year-round.
Open University is another program from Extended
Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students.
Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open
University provides the means to take CSUSM credit
courses without being admitted to the university and
the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit.
This is a helpful program, especially if one missed the
main-campus university application deadline.
As well as the other programs mentioned, Extended
Learning offers developmental teaching workshops
that can be completed online or on campus, depending
on the course. Extended Learning's Teacher Education
programs are designed to create distinct professional
developmental opportunities for educators in North
San Diego region.
CSUSM's Extended Learning is an extensive institution offering many academic and professional resources
for students and the community. Extended Learning
serves nearly 7,000 individuals a year and is becoming
well known for the programs it offers. For more information about Extending Learning, Leadership North
County, Leader Quest, and the eLearning Center, please

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

the point is that myths like these are f un and
refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that
the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then
again, there is no one out there saying that they
do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to
be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and
find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic
feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the
color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the
phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand."

"The walls between art and engineering exist only in our m inds," said
Dutch engineer Theo Jansen. However, by t aking one lo6k at his work, it
would seem that Jansen has broken the
barrier between the machine and the
living being.
YouTube currently hosts a video by
user "wally world" of a visually mystifying montage displaying what Jansen
calls his "Strandbeests": kinetic sculptures built f rom surgical tubing, lemonade bottles, plastic ties, and a whole

�Pencils Down, Runners Up
Baseball: Cougars go 2-2 on the week
A preview of the Diploma Dash
BY B ILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
This year, for the first time, the
CSUSM Athletic department will host
a 5k race to benefit student athletes. On
May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their
way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in
the Diploma Dash.
Students and runners can register
online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is
$35 the day of the race.
According to the Athletic department,
all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early
morning race, the department set the
race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and
accommodate student's study time.
This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per
age group, and post race festivities to
meet student-athletes and coaches. After
a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end
of the school year and the graduates.

�The Art of the Car Crash
follow a strict set of rules that
ensure the film is realistic by
restricting the resources the
director has.
Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the
rule concerning the prohibiting
of spectacular events when she
put a car accident in this movie.
However, this incident is crucial
to the film and is the moment
that shakes the viewer.
Lead character, Joachim, j ust
proposed to his girlfriend and is
prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car
strikes him. Though the audience
sees it coming,
a wonderful movie, but the car
crash that links the events is
spectacularly raw.
It opens following Gael Garcia
Bernal's character as he is trying
to get his dog to the hospital. For
the sake of not spoiling the film,
I will not reveal more. However,
the coming crash jolts viewers.
It comes come out of nowhere
and can cause those watching
to shout "Oi! " because it is so
vicious. It is p ainful to watch,
but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the
movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of
what a car crash should be like.

do filmmakers use this
device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve
expensive vehicles slamming
into each other in ways that
create a disproportionate amount
of flames and explosives, such as
in " XXX" and "The Fast and the
Furious."
There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant
something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created
exciting chases. Nowadays, cars
simply slam into each other and
blow up or have giant robots
run right through them. Even a
movie titled "Crash" did not have
exciting car accidents. Based on
a number of movies and their
accidents, foreign filmmakers
are superior in this skill.
The first example comes
from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film
"Amores Perros." The story is
broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

To preserve the context of both
accidents, I will not reveal the
details. However, both of these
films deserve accommodation
for their brutal car incidents.
In both German films, characters unexpectedly meet their
fate with the front of a speeding vehicle. Though the characters experience inexplicable
pain, Tykwer provides footage
that makes viewers feel as if a
truck has bit them. The result is
a bloody mess with the ensuing
silence that perfectly shows the
art of a car crash.

From America's Highways
to a 'Road Trip Nation'
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
It all began in 2001 with three guys who
jUst graduated college and found themselves
frustrated with the output of their education and not quite ready to jump into the real
world. So they bought a recreational vehicle,
maxed out their credit cards, started traveling
and talking to people. The outcome is Road
Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going
strong, RTN representatives found their way
to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New
Zealand road trip.
"We often find even the most successful
people don't know what they want from life.

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

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

of Imperial dripping
with
water beads. "Pura Vida, It's a lifestyle" adorns the handle on the container. The bottles are labeled more
clearly \yith the brewery's logo of a
decorative bird. A bright yellow cap
with a subtle silver liner display the
brewery 's logo and name of the beer.
The caps seal off a beer with an alcohol by volume of 4.6%.
The beer pours extremely smooth
with almost no head. A filigree of
foam remains trapping in yummy
flavors. The beer releases a faint
aroma similar to a room containing
freshly polished wood. Bubbles of
jubilee rise to the top in a constant
fashion. The beer enters the mouth
calmly. After a split second, a light
tingling sensation spreads throughout different parts of the mouth.
The beer leaves a pleasant,hopinfused residue on the tongue.
The beer resembles the qualities of American macro brews
such as Budweiser.
The light tasting and low
alcohol content Imperial should
pair well with both lunch and
dinner items. The beer would
be perfect for a BBQ or a
study session. Knock the edge
off midterms with a "sixer"
of Imperial. Study hard, Cougars, but do not forget to enjoy
school.

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

BY AMY SALISBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Last Tuesday, New York
Senator Hillary Clinton gained
major ground in her pursuit
of the Democratic nomination with primary wins in
Ohio, Rhode Island, and Texas.
Barack Obama's delegate lead
narrowed and his 12 consecutive victories ended unexpectedly, but the Illinois Senator
secured a win in Vermont. The
evening was equally eventful
for Republican candidate John
McCain, as he successfully
secured his party's nomination.
Clinton claimed her three
wins that followed a succession
of defeats so powerful that they
could alter t he delegate race
completely. Obama dismissed
these allegations, insisting, "We
have nearly the same delegate
lead as we did this morning and
we are on our way t o winning
this nomination,'9 as reported
by MSNBC on Wednesday.

Sprinter opens to enthusiastic crowds
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
North County's mass t ransit system showcased one of
its biggest upgrades t o date
on Sunday, March 9 with the
opening of the new Sprinter
light rail system. The newest
element of N orth County
Transit District (NCTD), the
Sprinter provides alternative
transportation solutions for an
increasingly congested North
County.
Cal State San Marcos students and North County residents alike were quick to capitalize on the new light rail
system, t urning out in droves
throughout the Sprinters inaugural day. Sarah Benson, a
NCTD representative, reports
that the Sprinter transported a
staggering 12,950 passengers

According t o Benson, the sheer
volume of people caused delays
throughout the day as the hordes
of people were slow t o board
and exit the t rains. Despite the
delays, Benson said, "Passengers
were thrilled and excited t o b e a
p art of the Sprinter's first day of
service. Everyone was patient
and the day was a big success."
While many were simply
along for the ride, passengers
like CSUSM student and Vista
resident Louie Vela were there
t o gauge the t iming of t his new
light rail system. "It took me
about 25 minutes t o get f rom my
house to here," said Vela, exiting
at the CSUSM station near the
University Village Apartments.
While the long-term viability of the Sprinter remains t o
be tested, CSUSM commuters

Apparently it pays to be a student at Stanford
University.
Beginning next year, students of the university will benefit from the school's huge, annual
endowments. In an effort to provide affordability, the university announced they will provide a tuition break for students whose parents'
annual income is less than $100,000. Also,
families that make less than $60,000 per year
will not be expected to pay for boarding and
most other expenses.
Stanford's annual tuition costs $34,800,
and next fall, will rise to $36,030. Additionally, room and board will also increase from

"SDSIT is spreading the Chlamydia and it's going to come to
you," said Sister Cindy. Apparently "the Chlamydia" has
become so strong that it now
functions as its own entity. On
Feb. 27, Evangelist, Brother Jed
and his wife Sister Cindy (Mrs.
Brother Jed), invaded the CSUSM
campus and gave a modern twist
to what might resemble the Great
Awakening - the good old fire
and brimstone days.
Mr. and Mrs. Brother Jed
reduced themselves to nothing but adolescent school children when they started singling
out students and calling them
"lesbians" based on their attire.
Female students were deemed
"whores" while male students
were called "whoremongers."
Their "sermon" served more as
a comedy hour while students
gathered around to retort their
outrageous and invalid claims.
Brother Jed and his wife's harrowing remarks and messages
of religious intolerance do not
encourage substantial discussions — like the ones facilitated
in our classrooms— but rather,
a spectacle where hateful speech
is met with angry replies. The
pair distastefully provoked the
crowd by using cheap and petty
remarks to generate attention.
Luckily, members of InterVarsity, CSUSM's Christian com-
munity, serve as the antithesis to
Brother Jed's intolerant and bigoted message. Last Tuesday, the
group aimed to counteract the
negative impression of Christians left by Brother Jed and Co.
While individuals like Brother
Jed and his wife come and go on
our campus, InterVarsity's message of tolerance should serve
as a constant reflection of our
Christian community here at
CSUSM.

�Church's Influence on Sports
End of an Era
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Mar. 6, the
National Football League
saw its most beloved quarterback say goodbye for
good. A fter a long trip alone
from Mississippi to Green
Bay, Wisconsin, a teary eyed
Brett Favre held a press conference letting the world
know his career is over.
So to celebrate the end of
John Maddens love affair
with Favre and the end of
Favre's career, here are the
top five Brett Favre accomplishments.
5. The Beginning
The first game he played
was in an Atlanta Falcons
uniform. His first pass as a
Falcon was intercepted and
returned for a touchdown.
A year later, Favre entered
the game off the bench and
saw his first completion in a
Green Bay Packers uniform
get deflected and completed
by himself for a seven yard
loss.
4. 253 Consecutive Regular Season Starts
A fter replacing the injured
Don Majkowski during
the game in week three,
Favre started week four
and wouldn't relinquish the
spot. Favre would become
the all-time leader for consecutive games started by
a quarterback and second
all-time in the NFL behind
defensive end Jim Marshall.
This accomplishment can
go down as one of the greatest records of all time in a
position that is constantly
being pounded by 300 plus
lineman.
3. Passing Marino
A fter throwing a 57-yard
touchdown pass to Greg Jennings against the San Diego
Chargers to tie Dan Marino's
all time touchdown record.
The following week, Favre
rocketed pass Marino when
he hit Jennings on a 16-yard
slant pass. «He finishes his
career with 442 touchdown
passes.
Similar to Barry Bonds
holding the all time home run
record until Alex Rodriquez
passes him up. Favre seems
to be holding this record and
others until Peyton Manning
(306) can pass him up.
2. In Memory of Irv
Favre
On December 21, 2003,
Favre's father died of a
heart attack while driving
his truck. The next day on
Monday Night Football,
Favre would keep the Packers playoff hopes alive when
he would play one of the
best games of his career.
Favre threw for 399 yards
and f our touchdowns, in a
42-7 victory over the Oakland Raiders. They would
get even more help the following week when the Arizona Cardinals would upset
the Minnesota Vikings and
the Packers would reach t he
playoffs.
1. Super Bowl XXXI
Favre would help lead the
Packers pass the New England Patriots 35-21. On the
second play of the game,
Favre senses a blitz and calls
for an audible and then hits
Andre Rison for a 54-yard
touchdown pass. Favre trailing for the first time saw
strong safety Lawyer Miller
covering Antonio Freeman
at the line of scrimmage and
Favre would .hit Freeman
for an 81-yard touchdown
pass. Then to end the half,
Favre ran a bootleg left and
place the ball over the goal
line as he was headed out of
bounds.
Favre wouldn't walk away
with the MVP as his teammate Desmond Howard set
Super Bowl records with a
99-yard kickoff return and
244 total net yards.
The NFL lost the last quarterback of a great generation of quarterbacks such as
Steve Young, Troy Aikman,
Dan Marino and John Elway.
And Favre has a lot to look
forward to in retirement like
Young, Aikman, Marino
and Elway have, including
becoming a first ballot hall
of famer.

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

face serious financial pressures,
and we are doing all we can to
assist them," said Stanford University President John Hennessy
in a written statement.
Diversity and economic opportunity are priority in Stanford's
announcement. "If we want to
increase the benefit each student receives from the diversity
of a school's student body, we
need to find ways to pull different people together — not by
forcing interaction, but by providing enough pull to balance
the natural push for people with
common backgrounds to congregate together,"said Stanford columnist Kai Stinchcombe.
The average annual income of
families in Stanford is $120,000,
according to San Jose Mercury
News. About one-third of the university's population comes from
low- to middle-income families
and will be eligible for the free
tuition and board this upcoming
year.
Of course the trick here is being
accepted, as Stanford is renowned
for its degree of difficulty of
accepting only the top-of-the-tier
students.
The news of the university's
program also provides a message
concerning the annual tuition
increase here in the state. Over
each of the past six years, there
have been increases in tuition at
California public schools, such
as the CSU and UC schools. Last
fall, fees at CSU schools rose about
10 percent and are expected to rise
another 10 percent next year.
From PRIMARY, page
From TUITION, page 1
$10,808 to $11,182, totaling a 3.5
percent increase. Yale, Harvard,
and Princeton are among the elite
schools that have already provided
free tuition. Stanford becomes
the first major west-coast university to follow that trend.
Economically this provides
students an added value to attend
Stanford over other west-coast
schools, like USC or USD. Stanford is located in Palo Alto, California. According to the Silicon

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

It's that time of the year again!
The time when bikinis are in and
backpacks are out. It's a time when
college students around the nation
flock to the beaches in hopes of
forgetting everything they had to
learn for that midterm the previous week. College Spring Break,
originally made famous by MTV,
usually has students letting go of
all ambitions for a week of f un
in the sun. Others use the time to
make a difference, volunteering
their time to serve the community.
Whatever it is, it's not too late to

issues of "narcotics-related violence" but have not targeted U.S.

When I grow up... teaching English overseas post-grad
THE PRIDE
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Many students in college struggle to
hone in on a specific career choice a fter
graduation even a fter declaring a major.
While the decision to continue on to graduate school following a bachelor's degree
is decreasingly becoming a luxury and
more of a necessity in today's j ob market,
alternative options are out there that may
prove as more of a personally rewarding
experience.
Teaching English overseas is j ust one
opportunity students out of college
can experience. There are many
programs established currently
that train students with the
skills necessary t o teach
English in another
country.
Oxford Seminars is one
example.
Est a b lished in
1992,
the
program

only prepares students with an u p to

(TESOL/TEFL) training certification course, but also pledge stu
dent placement within six months a fter
completing certification with a Money
Back Guarantee. The course is offered
at college campuses all across the United
States and Canada. On Tue. April 29,
Oxford Seminars will hold an information session at the University of San
Diego at 7 p.m. The closest campus to
hold certification courses is currently the
University of San Diego. For more information, visit http://www.oxfordseminars.
com.
The Pride contacted a recent graduate
f rom Azusa Pacific University currently
teaching English to children in China.
"If someone would have told me about
teaching English overseas I would have
said ' No way,'" said Taylor Bartlett, who
majored in Social Science [History and
Government}. "But someone told me
about the opportunity about three months
before I would have to go and at that time,
I didn't have anything really set u p so I
thought I would give it a try."
The intrinsic rewards are endless when
given the o pportunity to teach others.
Immersion into another country also gives
teachers the chance to learn new lan-

guages arid appreciate other cultures and
traditions. Oftentimes, American teachers travel together and live in the same or
proximate locations.
"Basically, I love my job. I teach 20
hours a week. I am doing so much over
here that sometimes it feels like I am not
even a teacher. In my spare time I like to *
play sports with the students. I play soccer
with them (although basketball is very
popular because of Yao Ming) and I do
play ping-pong. I am also teaching myself
Chinese."
Other countries offer TESOL positions as well. Oxford Seminars
place students in Western and
Eastern European countries including France,
Germany,
Russia
and Greece. Hong
Kong,
Japan,
Vietnam and
T hailand
are
some
examples in
East/Southeast
Asia.
Latin American
countries
include
Argentina,
Brazil,
Ecuador, and Mexico as
well as others. While in the
Middle East students have the
opportunity to visit Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait.
"I get 5,000 RMB a month and
f ree housing. This is a high paying
j ob in China. The minimum wage in
China is 600 R MB per month. If I
really wanted to save money I could,
but I am traveling around about once
a month. I have been to many places
in China, and during my winter holiday I went to Thailand to get some
sunshine and ride an elephant!"
Although some may worry that
overseas work could be dangerous
compared to work in the States,
Bartlett assures that working in
China is just as safe, if not safer,
than the United States.
"Protection here as an American
Citizen is fine. I have never had a
problem. China likes the US, well the
business side of things. And in China
it is illegal to have a gun, so there are
no problems with that. The Chinese
people like to keep to themselves.
There are little crimes here and there,

"I would recommend teaching overseas
to anyone and everyone. All of my friends
continually tell me how lucky I am. You
have the rest of your life to work. I think
people should take a year for themselves,"
said Bartlett. "After college and into the

people get stuck in a rut right away but I
think that going overseas is a great experience to learn about yourself and who you
want to be in the years to come."

BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Three little words: Deus ex
machina. For those of you who
don't speak Latin, it's a device,
usually divine, magical, or technological, which allows the character to solve an unsolvable problem. It's a cop out, an excuse for
an improbable plot to shamble
on when it should have had the
decency to die.
I'd write "spoiler alert," but
there's really nothing to spoil.
The main character's problems
were solved, in sequence, by getting stuck in a net and getting his
spear stuck in a rock.
Then, obviously, he received
help from carnivorous ostriches,
a saber tooth tiger, a star, a blind
albino-midget, a scar on "[his]

old woman and some beans. No,
really, it all makes sense.
The beans grew into grass,
which can apparently feed an

After closing her performance
According to Lucas, "When I
was brave enough to come out and
say, "I am a child of a prisoner," I
was overwhelmed by the number
of people who came to me wanting
to share their stories as they, too,
were in similar situations."
The massive amount ofresponses
Lucas got from families of prisoners, as well as her own experiences,
inspired her research. Lucas corresponded with over 400 prisoners
and their families. It was through
her identifying with the hardships
of the families involved, that she

Lucas went on to say: "What
does locking these people away
accomplish? Eventually these
people are put back on the streets
with literally nothing, already
ostracized from society. We claim
to believe in rehabilitation, but
all we are doing is just warehousing people for profit. We live in a
prison society, where one in every

that's the largest prison population,

history, or any other place in the
world."

or their needs. All they are interested in is the money they get per

is people like you [referring to
Lucas], who really do care and
help to ease the suffering."
When asked about her feelings
towards her own father's upcoming
parole hearing Lucas responded.
"In Texas, much like here in California, we make money off of prisons and prisoners. Politicians get elected by being
tough on crime and prisoners. My father is getting older and with age

"Here in California, the Prison
Guards Union is one of the most
powerful unions. They are known
for employing lobbyist to push for
their causes. While education along
with everything else in the state is
facing budget cuts at the hands of
the Governor. The Prison Guards
Union was given a 5% raise this
year by the Governor himself,"
said Lawston.
According to The Sentencing Project, an agency for "prison
research and advocacy for reform",
as of 2005, 2.2 million Americans
were incarcerated. China ranks
second, holding 1.5 million prisoners, although China has four times
the population of the US.
Wikipedia indicates in California alone, as of2006,170,000 prisoners occupy facilities designed
for 83,000, with most facilities
holding more than 200% of their
design capacity.
According to the US Department of Justice, "Of the 272,111
persons released from prisons in
15 States in 1994, an estimated
67.5% were rearrested for a felony
or serious misdemeanor within 3
years, 46.9% were reconvicted,
and 25.4% re-sentenced to prison
for a new crime."
The numbers speak volumes
for themselves. In the
words ofFyodorDostoevsky, "The degree
of civilization in
a society can be
judged by entering its prisons."

Orange County band lends a hand across t he globe
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
When you think of local Orange
County music, do you have negative thoughts? If the answer is
"yes " I am about to change that
forever. This is because of the
incredible story of Joe Denges,
Justin Dike, Matt Hulet and
Dusty Schiefelbein of the band,
Hollowell.
They've played together for
eight years at bars, clubs and
even churches up and down all
of California. But within the last
few years, they've embarked on
a few journeys that most local
bands never get a chance to experience - going overseas and touring for the soldiers in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Having two overseas tours under their belts, Hollowell is about to head out on
their third, but not before taking a
short detour to the African country of Swaziland where they will
help kids suffering from AIDS,
as well as play music for and with
them.
Hollowell is an alternative
rock band based out of the city
of Orange, California. A fter the
eight years they've been together,
three of the original members
still remain: Joe, Matt and Justin.
Dusty, the newest member of
the band, has been with them a
little over two years now, and is,
according to Joe, "exactly what
we were missing." Their previous bassist was a good friend
and amazing musician, but he
had other avenues he desired to
pursue which eventually led t o
Dusty, the missing piece of the
Hollowell puzzle.
While Hollowell has released
a few short EPs, it wasn't really
until around 2006 that they actually began getting their music out
there. First, with a 5-song worship
EP, "All I Am" and just this year,
a 5-song rock EP, "Are You m
Waiting," which gave them
much popularity and notoriety from various individuals,
and organizations.
Beginning on March 13,
2008, Hollowell will b e with
a small group of people in the
country of Swaziland, helping children suffering from
AIDS. When asked what
his main goal was in going
to Swaziland, lead singer Joe
Denges said: "We have a uni- «
fied goal for Swaziland. We
are trying to set the framework for a much bigger picture of bringing about a positive change in the nation and
its people."
Drummer Justin Dike says that
in going to Swaziland, he hopes
to " . . bring hope to a dying segment of my g eneration..." And if
nothing else, "my main goal is to
be able to just bring smiles to the
faces of all the people in Swaziland..." says Dusty Schiefelbein,
bassist. But before they come
home, they will be playing music
for these children and actually
leaving their instruments for the
children to learn to play - an
mow courtesy nouoweu
The members of Hollowell pose with military equipment while overseas
example of true and caring artists.
After returning home from
Swaziland on March 23, the guys
of Hollowell have less than two
weeks before they will board
another flight and head overseas to
support the troops in Iraq and give
them an escape through music.
Asking these guys why they keep
Playing for the troops is very
important to Hollowell, and
according to Joe, "Seeing how
much they are touched and what
it means to them when we go over
there makes it more than worth
the trip. They're our friends
and family, too now." What a
life changing event and what
an incredible opportunity these
mm
young men have. Their
support and love for the
troops is an inspiration, not
to mention the fact that it is
"freaking f un" according to
Justin.
Listening to their brand
new 5-song rock EP "Are
You Waiting" it is easy
to understand why they
were nominated for "Best
Live Electric Band" by
the Orange County Music
Awards Committee.
"I
think I'd freak out! [if we
won]", Joe says, "It's been
a trip for us because we got
into the live competition by
chance and we were happily
going over to play for the troops, surprised to find out we made the

to play together. It has been a long
and hard* road for each of them,
but according to their growing
international popularity and local
fame, I think it it's safe to say that .
it was all worth the wait for them.
These guys are an incredible
success story. No, they aren't on
the radio or MTV, but they play all
over OC. They have the best fan
base, and they've been nominated
for an OCMA. They've toured
twice overseas in Iraq and are
about to go for a third, not to mention their brief stay in Swaziland.
So what do they say for those of us
who wish to be musicians? Dusty :
"Don't give up." Joe: "Don't leave
it only up to your talent." And
Justin: "Don't quit unless you are
hurting someone else. And go to
a Hollowell show."
I wish them the best of luck
as they make the world better
with their music. If you would
like to know more about Hollowell, please visit their website, www.HollowellMusic.com
(currently under construction)
or check them out at www.Myspace.com/Hollowell, which is
where all the best information
about them and their CD can be
found. Hollowell's CD can also
be purchased on iTunes; you
should pick up a copy - and who
knows? Maybe t hey'll change
your life, too.

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

Campus community unifies to oppose C SU budget cut
BY ALEX HAND
Pride Staff Writer
The latest proposed cut of
$386 million to the California
State University budget has
CSU students, faculty, and staff
across California in an uproar.
Approved by the CSU Board
of Trustees for the 2008/2009
fiscal year, the cuts would force
universities to t urn away more
than 10,000 students statewide.
The lack of funding would also
force the system to once more
increase student fees, lay off
teachers, eliminate classes, and
do away with many programs.
Sprinter Light Rail
launches this Sunday
The entire CSU community
has come together to fight for a
common goal against the proposed budget cuts. Each of the
23 CSU campuses has launched
a unified campaign that will
begin in on March 3 at CSU
Dominguez Hills.
The following week, Mon.
March 10, the second forum will
take place at CSU San Marcos.
CSUSM will hold its all-campus meeting on 1:00-2:00 p.m.
in Arts 111. There will be media
availability 30 minutes prior to
each event.
In hopes of "protecting the
future of California" the cam-
paign expects to prove the importance that CSU plays in the economy of California. Faculty, staff,
and students alike will demonstrate that cuts to the CSU system
would actually further damage
the economy. To back up their

The 22-mile long track,

While the North County

C SUSM customer satisfaction results
Survey responses show opinions of available facilities and services
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Earlier this semester, Finance
and Administrative Services conducted an online customer service
survey on various departments
around the university.
The survey asked various students, staff, and faculty about their
level of satisfaction and netted
interesting figures. Anyone interested viewing the results in full can

htm.
The figures from the academic
2007/2008 annual survey had a
wide number of categories ranging from topics such as facilities,
maintenance, university police,
financial aid, housing, and parking
services.
The idea behind conducting
Tuesday, Mar. 4

Forum Plaza
the survey was to have different
departments meet and identify
areas for improvement around university services. Departments put
together action plans that outline
some overall performances and
upcoming plans to improve certain
areas as well.
Some of the more interesting
results came specifically from University Village Apartments (UVA)
and University Police. From a
study done with 331 participants,
55% answered "don't know" concerning campus crime prevention presentations. To go along
with Crime Prevention Programs
such as "Cougar Watch," University Police Department (UPD) has
been producing videos which are
available at the UPD website.
A University Police and Liaison
Program will also be implemented
to provide additional avenues for
communication with campus committees, students, staff, and police.
The survey also determined that
the UVA staff is invested and helpful toward the students there. Of
the approximate 160 participants
of the survey, 80.1% believe that
they are doing exceptional services
in addressing personal and social
growth.
70.6% of those surveyed agreed
or strongly agreed that resident
advisors demonstrated an honest
commitment to student welfare
and activities.
According to UVA Director
Brian Dawson, "When you treat
people like adults, you are given
choices to act freely. Some people
thrive on that and based off the
customer survey, the majority feel
that way."

UCI hosts forum for
graduate education
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
On Sat. April 5, University
of California, Irvine will
host the California Forum
for Diversity in Graduate
Education.
There will be a bus departing from CSUSM to UCI
available to students signedup to attend the event.
Although the forum is
f ree, the Career Center
requires a [checks only] $20
deposit to reserve a spot on
the bus. The bus will leave
promptly at 7 a.m. and return
at approximately 6:00 p.m.
The forum is held twice
yearly - once in Southern California, and once
in Northern California. It
is designed to provide students from underrepresented groups with the tools
and information to help
them apply and be accepted
to graduate schools.
Some benefits of attend-
ing the forum include meeting representatives from
over 100 of the nation's elite
graduate schools and getting
f ree access to the Princeton
Review's online prep course
for the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE).
There are also many workshops designed to cater to
specific areas of study, a few
include: nursing, physical sciences and mathematics, and
fine and performing arts.
There will also be workshops
designed to provide more general information about topics
such as selecting and applying to graduate schools.
Another important subject
that will be covered is the
issue of securing funding for
graduate school.

the
opportunity,

Church's Influence on Sports
NHL Trade Deadline
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
The National Hockey Leagues
t rade deadline came and went
on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and teams
were busy. With big name players such as M arian Hossa, Brad
Richards, and Brian Campbell
finding new homes, other big
name players Olli J okinen and
Mats Sundin stayed put, leaving
questions for the o ff-season.
25 t rades later, it is t ime to
discuss the t rades that went
down and how t his can impact
a t eam's f uture.
L et's start with the Atlanta
Thrashers who t raded Hossa
and Pascal Dupuis for Erik
Christensen, Colby Armstrong,
prospect Angleo Esposito and
2008 d raft pick. Despite losing
Hossa, the Thrashers added
young talent that could bolster
a talented f uture.
The Pittsburgh Penguins
on the other hand added help
for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni
Malkin. Hossa will now be able
to play wingman to "Sid the
K id" while raising the expectations for a long playoff r un. I
am expecting them to be playing for the cup.
The Dallas Stars were able
to pick up Richards and Johan
Holmqvist for Mike Smith,
Jussi Jokinen, J eff Halpren and
a 2009 first round d raft pick.
The addition of Richards gives
the Stars contending power
against the Detroit Red Wings
and Anaheim Ducks.
The Tampa Bay Lightning
added an upgrade in goaltending with Smith, while adding
t hree young players and two
d raft picks. This gives the
Lightning an opportunity to
rebuild a struggling team that
had star power but lacked depth
and goaltending.
The
Philadelphia
Flyers
added Jarslov Modry on Feb. 19
and Vaclav Prospel on Feb. 25.
Modry gives the Flyers depth
on the blue line while Prospel
gives the Flyers some much
needed scoring power with the
loss of Simon Gagne for the
season and while waiting for
J offery Lupul to r eturn f rom a
high ankle sprain.
The last winner f rom the
t rade deadline was the Anaheim
Ducks who once again didn't
make a trade. They kept their
core of players and traded for a
role player. One reason for not
making dramatic trades was that
they have watched the r eturn of
last years Conn Smyth winner
(playoff MVP) Scott Niedermayer and more importantly
the r eturn of Teemu Selanne
who has sparked some much
needed offense. The r eturn of
Selanne and Niedermayer make
the Ducks the team to beat once
again.
But not all teams were winners this year. The Florida
Panthers were lucky enough to
find a buyer wanting Ruslan
Salei. But they failed to trade
Jokinen. The next question
for Florida is who is going to
be leaving. Jokinen or will
coach/general manger Jacques
M artin, I believe both will be
gone.
And the bigger loser of the
two was the Toronto Maple
Leafs, who watched all five
players with no trade clauses
use them to stay with the team.
In the end, they were only able
to t rade for a few low d raft
picks, instead of gaining a
h andful of first round picks.
A team that looked like they
were going to be able to be the
biggest sellers got shut down
by poor negotiating of contracts. No team should give
five players a no-movement or
trade clause, let alone to that
many players with expiring
contracts in the same year.
The playoffs are near and
teams are finally set for the
final 20 games of the season.
The question is who will be
the winner, who made the right
decision at the deadline and
who will be the 29 losers who
didn't make the right decision.
No matter what, the playoffs
are coming and I for one can't
wait.
Any comments or questions
can be sent to churc009@

Blood, Sweat
Tears, Gas
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
So, I just bartered my firstborn this morning in exchange
for a tank of gas. Luckily, we've
already discussed my feelings
about children, so it was actually a win-win deal. The guy
even threw in a Diet Coke.
Kidding aside, not that I've
been kidding so far, a lot of
people complain about the cost
of gas. But I'm not hearing a lot
of these whining lame-cakes
coming up with solutions. I
have the answer though:
We should go to war with a
country that has oil and take
theirs.
Wait. That could backfire.
Ok, I have a better solution.
We genetically engineer
more dinosaurs a la Jurassic
Park. Once we're done teaching
them tricks and studying them,
bonding with our large new
reptilian friends, we slaughter
them mercilessly, and boom,
more fossil fuel.
No, I'm sure I can do better.
We can just find ways to work
without gas. I've heard a lot
about these hybrid-electric
vehicles. New plan: feral catelectric vehicles. People still
aren't following that whole
"spay and neuter your pets"
thing. Answer to rising feral
cat population problem? Teach
them to pull cars. It'll be like running an Iditerod every day just to
get to work or the grocery store.
Since BST doesn't approve of
whipping your sled cats though,
I recommend that you train them
to work on positive reinforcement. For every mile your 500
feral cats pull you, give them a
bag of Skittles.
Actually, I have a less messy
idea. You could just carpool.
Then you can split the gas cost
between yourself and someone
that you liked in the beginning
but have slowly began to hate, a
person whose inability to throw
away empty pudding cups that
somehow end up under your seat
and snorting giggle you come
to consider death-penalty worth
offenses. Carpooling is delightful.
You could just make sure you
recycle your grocery store bags.
In 60 years, if you recycle every
single one, you'll have probably
50 mile worth of gas. Or better
yet, just recycle all your beer
bottles, and use the money to buy
more Skittles for your feral cat
mobile.

Probiotics: Bacteria that does your body good
T HE P RIDE
Tuesday; March 4,
BY ARIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
Recently, nutrition seems
to be based around functional
foods: foods plus health benefits.
In particular, probiotic yogurt
has taken the yogurt industry
by storm, touting benefits of
increased immunity, regulating
digestion, and being a source of
daily calcium.
According to Lifeway Foods
Incorporated, probiotics ("beneficial to life") are live cultures
that provide health benefits
beyond basic nutrition. Pat Kendall, a food science and human
nutrition specialist at Colorado
State University Extension, has
also defined these bacteria as
probiotic because they survive
through the stomach to the gastrointestinal tract.
Once in the GI tract, they
function as favorable bacteria
to maintain a healthy relationship between the 200+ kinds of
bacteria that inhabit the GI tract.
Researchers have

substantial evidence denoting
that there are several strains of
essential "good-for-you" bacteria that have the ability to promote healthy gastrointestinal
functions, increase immunity
and help prevent the development of cancer-causing toxins
throughout the body.
Currently, there are several
selections of probiotics to choose
from which include dairy sources
[yogurt and kefir (a yogurtesque, dairy beverage with roots
in the Middle East)], capsule formulas, liquid formulas, powder
or tablets, and fermented foods
such as sauerkraut.
Kefir beverages usually contain ten cultures including the
following: Lactobacillus lactis,
Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus diacetylactis, Leuconostoc cremoris, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus
casei, Bifidobacterium longum,
Bifidobacterium breve, Saccharomyces florentinus, and
Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Conventional
yogurts
without additional
probiotic supplement
u su-

m
ally contain Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus.
Dannon's Activia yogurt has
become quite popular and well
known for its probiotic qualities.
Activia is usually the introduction into the "culture" of probiotics. Student Michelle Bartolome is familiar with the probiotic yogurt from Activia and
has tried Activia , noting that
it tasted similar to conventional
yogurt. Taylor Linkins, another
student familiar with probiotics,
commented that Activia tasted
different from typical yogurt.
Being a skeptical consumer is
a natural response when bombarded with these amazing
claims about yogurt. So what
exactly makes probiotic yogurt
so special?
Most traditional yogurts on the
market usually only contain one
to two live and active bacterial
cultures (usually Lactobacillus
acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and
Ifc,
thermophilus).

Many dairy and yogurt companies have launched probiotic

Another point to address is the
convenience of probiotic yogurt
— one does not have to go about
selecting probiotic supplements.
Similarly, most probiotic yogurts
promote healthy digestion and
gastrointestinal functions with
the addition of more bacteria
cultures. Research is also being
conducted to determine effectiveness of strengthened immunity and cancer prevention.
So, how can one reap the benefits? Being a careful consumer
is essential — be sure to check
the labels and make sure it actually contains live and active cultures because the number of live

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

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

the plot and the
Directed by Wes Anderson, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a breath-taking, introspective film that follows three American
brothers along a spiritual quest throughout India. Out of touch, and out of their
minds, the Whitman brothers—portrayed by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody
and Jason Schwartzman—set out on a
journey of self-discovery to rekindle their
brotherly bond while mourning the death
of their father.
Making their way through India on a
train, specifically the Darjeeling Limited
railway, their plan is quickly dissembled,
as they encounter unexpected challenges
and settings. Eventually they find themselves lost, stranded, and out of luck on
a new and uncharted route. Toting eleven
of their father's suitcases, a printer, and a
laminating machine, the Whitman brothers allow viewers to grow along with them
as they experience each bump in the road
and new scenario.
According to The Onion's A.V. Club, it
is theorized that there 16 films to which
Anderson's style was most heavily influenced. Number 7 on the list is "The River."
Anderson himself has mentioned that this
film was the single greatest film influence
on "The Darjeeling Limited." A1951 film
directed by Jean Renoir and written by
Rumer Godden is a dramatic romance
about three teenage girls living in Bengal,
India (all of English decent), coming of
age and falling in love with the same man.

is not a romantic film
in any sense of traditional ^ ^ ^
conventions, there is romance
in the film between the characters and the
scenery. There are also hints of romance
threaded through the film as it ideally is
a fully conceptualized after-thought to
the previously released "Hotel Chavelier",
which also starred Jason Schwartzman and
Natalie Portman. As both "The River" and
"The Darjeeling Limited" take their characters on a voyage through an unfamiliar
land, both Renoir and Anderson recognize
through their visual interpretations, that
their stories veer more towards a location
transforming the main characters than it is
about interpreting the cultural identity of
India for their audiences.
That said, however, "The Darjeeling
Limited" is all about Indian culture. It is
the weird and wonderful things in India
which the Whitman brothers encounter
that change them and unite them.
Along with the incredible acting on
behalf of Brody, Schwartzman, and
Wilson, together with the likes of Bill
Murray and Angelica Houston, "The Darjeeling Limited" is a succulent DVD treat
for any viewer or Wes Anderson fan, full of
incredible actors, beautiful mis-en-scene,
and a transcendental timeless story.

Company brews and bottles Total
Eclipse Black Ale in Sacramento,
California.
Troy Paski founded the company
in 1991. The brewery focuses on
serving its customers great handcrafted beers in an enjoyable fashion while being environmental
friendly. They plan to increase
product awareness in the Sacramento area and eventually add
another brewpub.
In 1999, the ale won first

place at the California Brewers Festival in the Robust
Porter category.
The dark brown
glass bottle holds
22-fluid ounces of
ale - a bit more
than average. The labeling contains
an image of a shadowy earth smiling
down upon a turquoise tented moon
surface. Psychedelic colors comprise
the rest of the label. A black bottle
cap with a shiny silver outline and
the company's yellow logo of a
smiley face caps the bottle with an
alcohol by volume of 5.6%. It retails
for $3.19 at BevMo.
The ale pours thickly, creating
a chunky and massive one inch
thick head. A demonic black
tenor fills the glass. The head
resides for several moments
before decreasing in size.
However, a solid head remains
for the duration of consumption. A distinct aroma arises
from the evil mixture. Shockingly and disappointingly, the
ale enters smooth and finishes
mildly. The aromas and textures seemed to ensure a more
Indiana Jones-like adventure.
Instead, the ale's calmness
projects Barney-like characteristics.
For a peaceful treat to calm
the mind, relax the body, and
free the soul, scope out Total
Eclipse Black Ale.
of
Sci-Fi's Undue Abuse
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Of all entertainment genres, science
fiction takes a great amount of undue
abuse. Uninformed viewers unfairly stereotype sci-fi films and television shows
as "nerdy" or "geeky." This is not true,
however, because not every "Star Trek"
fan has abnormal acne, buckteeth, and a
thick pair of glasses. If you desire to see
what the buzz is all about, I have a few
suggestions to expand your horizons.
One does not have to be obsessive to
enjoy these fine pieces of entertainment.
A recent movie one could use to "cut
their teeth" on is Danny Boyle's "Sunshine", released last year. Boyle who
directed films such as "28 Days Later"
and "Trainspotting," gives an impressive
story about humankind on a mission to
save the Earth. Years in the future, the
sun is dying and a select crew is set to
deliver a payload to reinvigorate it. Along
the way, they receive a distress signal,
which they answer and disaster ensues.
It is an exciting and terrifying movie in
space similar to "Alien" and "Event Horizon" and is well worth a watch. One does
not have to worry about techno-babble
that may turn people off, because as
long as viewers pay attention, the movie
explains everything. It is a story about
testing humanity that just happens to take
place in space.
Along those lines, I am going to recommend a film that may make one shudder to consider. "Star Trek II: The Wrath
of Khan" is an extraordinary film with
action and excitement. People stigmatized
this film as a program for geeks, which is
unfair. For some reason, "Star Wars" has
escaped the majority of the criticism, yet
these two films are on the same level. It
is a clever and engrossing from the very
beginning. Not only does it deserve to
have everyone watch it, but also earns the
right to have the vicious labels removed
from it. I have limited experience with
"Star Trek" but I was able to pick this up
and enjoy its many fine qualities.
Finally, I recommend the works from
the mind of Joss Whedon: "Firefly," and
the subsequent film "Serenity." "Firefly"
is the story of ship and its crew that roam
the galaxy looking to get by years after
humankind branched out from Earth and
a civil war erupted. This television show
ran for one season on FOX, who cut it,
not knowing what a goldmine they had
on their hands. Fans still fight for the
show to come back and were delighted
when NBC/Universal offered a deal to
Whedon and made "Serenity." This follows the same crew on its ventures, where
Whedon mixes the right amount of humor
and explosions. The structure of these
works is similar to a Western set in space
and is engrossing and addictive to even
first time sci-fi goers.
I sincerely hope people will give sci-fi
another chance and examine its fine
achievements. It can be just as exciting
and entertaining as any other genre. Also,
do not judge addicted sci-fi fans. People
consider a football fan cool for knowing
every statistic about every player on every
team from every year, but sci-fi fans are
"nerds" for knowing about what interests them. Other movies, like gangster or
crime films have their own lingo — science fiction should have the same rights.

"Bid day" at CSUSM welcomes prospective members to its Greek community
The intersection of Craven
Road and Twin Oaks Valley Road
often accumulates congested traffic. The congested traffic creates
chaos for Cougars and local residents. Recently, the San M arcos
S heriffs Department notified
CSUSM of the constant complaints they receive regarding
the intersection. Due to the overwhelming complaints f rom city
residents, the s heriffs department
plans to focus more attention on
the intersection.
The s heriffs department aims
to enforce all vehicle codes, but
more specifically, they plan to
focus on violations of Vehicle
Code 22526, also known as the
Anti-Gridlock Law. The viola-
tion costs approximately $150.
University police are currently
focusing on other aspects of t raffic inside CSUSM. If the s heriffs
department requests assistance in
patrolling the intersection, then
university police will o ffer its
support in the matter as well.
Drivers violate the code when
"they are sitting in a busy intersection and it is his/her t urn t o go

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

Today, Tuesday Feb. 26,
during University Hour, Multicultural Programs will host
its first ' Thinking Outside the
[lunch] Box forum in University Hall 10Q.
The T hinking Outside the
[lunch]Box series is a monthly
forum facilitated by Cal State
instructors and/or guests to
have an open and safe discussion about that session's particular topic. This month's topic
is: "Are you passing?"
"Passing is a sociological
concept which refers to members of a racial group being
accepted by others of a different race," explains Jay Franklin, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs.
Facilitating this event is Dr.
Elise as well as Dr. Wilson of
Cal State San Marcos, in conjunction with Lori Walkington,
a graduate student of CSUSM.
With a diverse group of educated and insightful facilitators
with a willingness to learn, this
event is sure to attract the attention of many students eager t o get
involved, let their voices be heard,
and make connections.
"Statistics say that students
who form relationships outside
of classrooms are more likely t o
graduate and continue on to grad.
school and these venues provide
opportunities to make connections and social support groups
outside of the classroom," states
Franklin.
The forum coordinators are
looking forward to engaging students and answering any questions or ideas that they may have.
"It would be a good place to
meet people that have different
opinions about 'passing'. It's an
avenue to discuss relevant contemporary issues and eat f ree
food," said Kevin Chatham, a student Peer Educator at the Cross
Cultural Center.
Multicultural Programs encourages any student enticed by the
promise of f ree food and the
opportunity to discuss contemporary issues to attend the monthly
event.

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

Some organizations are doing
their part to help out the children
affected by the fires, providing
them with school supplies, clothing, and other essential items for

Monetary items are not the
only things that people are donating. The San Diego Fire Recovery Network (SDFRN) provides
preventative safety information,
with the belief that knowledge
plays a huge role and should be

believes that people can create

SDFRN holds wildfire update
meetings in order to inform the

process. The network also holds
field trips that teach the community how to preserve the wildlife

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

So what does it mean to the college student to have instant energy

"play a huge role on campus". At

for those few hours of sleep they

really fill the void? Its hard to tell
at this point, since the long term
effects of the energy drink craze
has not yet been fully observed.
It is important though, to understand the healthy alternatives that
are made available to students on
campus at CSUSM. When asked
about a healthy alternative, Nie-
dens (Cougar Store manager) suggested "Yerba Mate" which is an
organic, naturally caffeinated tea
reminiscent of a green tea flavor.
Yerba Mate has just recently been
made available for purchase in the
Cougar Corner.
Another alternative to gain
just a bit of energy and or focus
is Vitamin Water. Also according
to Niedens, "Vitamin water is our

are still choosing the healthy alternative to give them that extra pick
up.
It would not be a surprise, however, to see the way energy drinks
are advertised and distributed on
college campuses nationwide for
years to come.

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

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

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

�UFC 82: Silva vs Henderson
Two of mixed martial arts elite middleweights square off for title
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The best fight of 2008 could
come as early as March 2 as
Anderson "The Spider5' Silva
and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson face off for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 82: Pride of a
Champion. Silva, who sits atop
the summit of the world's best
pound-for-pound fighters, seeks
to defend his belt from Henderson, who holds the equivalent
welterweight belt from the now
defunct Pride promotion (Pride
welterweight and UFC middleweight are equivalent divisions).
"The Spider" entered the UFC
in 2006 and has dominated the
middleweight division with his
devastating stand up game. A
product of the famed Brazilian
"Chute Box" team, Silva is an
expert in Muay Thai and also
received his black belt in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu from Pride legend,
Antonio "Minotauro" Noguiera.
On Oct. 14,2006, Silva defeated
Rich Franklin at UFC 64 for the
middleweight belt, knocking out
the champion halfway into the
first round. Since then, Silva has
reined mercilessly over the division, successfully defending his
title against Travis Lutter, Nathan
Marquadt, and Rich Franklin in
his most recent fight, a rematch.
Prior to his current UFC reign,
Silva held the Cage Rage middle-
weight title from 2004 to 2006.
If there is only one middleweight contender in the world
that can beat Anderson Silva, it
is Dan Henderson. An Olympic caliber Greco-Roman wrestler, Henderson has consistently
proven himself to be a top-tier
fighter in both the 185 lb. and 205
lb. divisions.
From 2000 to 2007, Henderson fought against countless elite
fighters in Pride, where he eventually won and simultaneously
held the welterweight (185 lb.)
and middleweight (205 lb.) titles.
Most recently, Henderson lost
a hard fought, five round battle
for the UFC light heavyweight
title against Quinton "Rampage"
Jackson. Prior to that fight, Henderson knocked out Wanderlei
"The Axe Murderer" Silva, one
of the most ruthless fighters in
the history of MM A.
The Fight:
Silva can expect a f ull five
round war and should pace himself accordingly. Although one
of Silva's greatest strengths is
his Muay Thai clinch, he should
really avoid allowing Henderson
to close the distance.
The best place for Silva to win
this fight will be standing up,
delivering strikes from the outside and slowly working Henderson down. As precise a striker
as Silva may be, Henderson's

granite chin will make it difficult
for Silva to knock him out. Silva
needs to capitalize on any mistakes and put together combinations if he expects to knock out
Henderson.
Although Henderson has never
shied^ away from the stand-up
game, he needs to keep in mind
that Silva is one of the deadliest
strikers in the business. Should
he stand with Silva, Henderson
should keep him in close prox-
imity, where Silva's kicks, knees,
and jabs are much less effective.
Henderson will also find it
much easier to deliver his devastating hooks when Silva is trying
to separate. Henderson's GrecoRoman clinch will be his greatest source of control in the fight
and his greatest defense against
Silva's powerful knee strikes.
Taking the fight to the ground
where Silva is not as effective
in dealing damage should be a
key part of Henderson's strategy. Silva has not had to defend
his title into the late fourth and
fifth rounds, which is where Henderson should look to finish the
fight.
Prediction;
Dan Henderson wins the middleweight title by way of knockout late in the fourth round.

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

Old Men' won for Best Screenplay based
on material previously published because
the Coen Brothers took such delicate care
in presenting Cormac McCarthy's story.
In the field of actors, I was only halfright. I did not expect Marion Cotillard
and Tilda Swinton to win Best Actress
for Lead and Supporting Roles, respectively. However, I was right to presume
who would win for the men, though it was
no contest this year. Daniel Day-Lewis is
blistering as a lunatic in 'There Will Be
Blood' and rightly takes his second Best
Lead Actor. In addition, Javier Bardem's
performance in 'No Country' is the best
this year. He became the first Spaniard to
win an Oscar for acting as he earned Best
Supporting Actor.
Though the Academy robbed 'Ratatouille' of a Best Picture nomination, the
Disney/Pixar movie easily won for Best
Animated Film. However, it really did not
matter. 'No Country' was the guaranteed
winner for Best Picture, and did just that.
This, the finest work of Joel and Ethan
Coen, also won them the Oscar for Best
Director. Though there was little surprise
in the ceremony, it was f un to watch. It
was also great reminder of movies I still
need to see. I hope that those who won
or just received nominations continue to
bring quality entertainment.

Levi goes 'Across the Universe1
BY LEVI MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Do you ever find yourself scanning
the video aisles searching for a movie
to satisfy your needs; well, the wait is
over. In this column you will find my
weekly recommendations on demand,
satisfying your every movie desire and
much more.
"Across the Universe" is a movie
that takes the era-defining music of
The Beatles and portrays a story of
love, passion, and chaos in the form
of a musical. Now rather than describe
the film chapter by chapter, I will go as
far as to say that this film brings classic music to a new age, allowing both
admirers from the past to indulge and
sing-along while captivating new ones
from the present.
The main character, Jude, a young
adult from Liverpool, travels "across
the universe" in search of answers,
running into situations and people
that change him dramatically.
The film utilizes music to define an
era of war and radical change in society,
but most importantly, it helps illustrate
the importance of love and cherishing
those special bonds of friendship. The
film covers the life of a soldier, musician, artist and revolutionary.
The music of The Beatles changed
the face of the earth. By creating such
a drastic change in people and society,
The Beatles did what other bands had
never done before. Hopefully this film
entices you adequately enough to rent
it. It's a must watch and more importantly, you don't want to feel left out at
dinner conversations.

Walks like a beer, talks like a beer, but
it is actually a hard cider. Green Mountain Cidery brews Woodchuck Draft Cider
Granny Smith in Middlebury, Vermont.
The brewery sits in a valley in the Green
Mountains which have peaks over 4,000
feet. The brewery claims to be the #1 producer of premium alcoholic draft ciders in
the U.S. They introduced the cider in 1997.
The brewery holds multiple awards for
its ciders. In addition, ABC Research Corporation in Gainesville, Florida, certified
the brewery as gluten-free.
The cardboard container holds six lucid
green glass bottles.
Lime green dominates
the majority of the
packaging while a
forest green accents
"edges. A cute little
marmota, similar
to a squirrel, sits on
a rock stuffing his
fuzzy cheeks with a
granny smith apple on
a green plain underneath a
light blue sky. The bottles contain the same
graphics. A shiny green bottle cap seals a
cider with an alcohol by volume of 5%. The
six pack retails for $8.99 at BevMo.
The cider pours smooth with no head. A
thin lace resides as carbonated bubbles rise
to the top but are trapped. The cider radiates a golden texture similar to ginger ale.
It enters smooth and finishes powerfully,
like Brut champagne. The Granny Smith
apple infused cider really bites in the end,
similarly to eating an actual Granny Smith
apple. The cider leaves a little apple flavor
on the tongue after passing through
to the abyss and
beyond.
The light
and unique
flavoring
of the cider
should pair well
with a light lunch
e.g. club sandwich
and chips, or possibly a dessert e.g.
vanilla ice cream.

NIU Campus Shooting Raises Safety Concerns
Emergency Preparedness Urged by University Police
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Feb. 14, Northern Illinois University Graduate Student, 27-year-old Steven
Kazmierczak, opened fire in a
lecture hall on campus killing
five students before turning the
gun on himself.
The next day, President Karen
Haynes released a message to the
campus community.
"I know I speak for all of us
that we feel great sadness and
empathy for the students, faculty,
staff and families of those personally affected by the tragedy
at Northern Illinois University in
DeKalb. Our sympathy goes out
to them as they struggle to deal
with the shock at such a sudden
and violent loss to their community," President Haynes said.
While questions regarding
the motives of a student with no
record of trouble and in good
academic standing will likely go
unanswered, administration is
reaching out to students and fac-
ulty to help focus on preventative
measures.
"We've had several systems in
place even before Virginia Tech
because we are such a newer
campus," said University Police
Department Emergency Manager, Dean R. Manship. "One
thing people probably aren't
aware of is that we have the ability to lock down pretty much all
of our buildings from University
police dispatch. So if we had some
sort of situation like that, within
two seconds they could click on
one of their displays to lock down
all the exterior doors for campus
buildings and interior buildings
for some of the newer buildings
such as Markstein Hall."
Manship stressed the need
for students to program the
University Police dispatch line
(760-750-4567) into their cell
phones in order to connect directly
with University Police dispatch
for a rapid response, rather than
dialing 911 and being connected
with the Highway Patrol.
Students can also register
for the emergency notification
system at www.csusm.edu/ep to
receive notifications only during
an emergency. The system can
notify students via cell phone,
landline phones, text messages,
and e-mail.
The shooting rampage is the
latest to plague the United States
since last April's shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University which claimed
the lives of 32 people.

Greek Rush Week begins at CSUSM
Interest in Greek life grows as campus expands
BY TOM COCKING
Pride Staff Writer
As another semester passes,
comes the beginning of a new one,
bringing new opportunities to make
new friends and participate in social
events.
For those who do not know: fraternities and sororities on campus
are beginning to grow more and
more as the years go by, with new
ones being started as our school
begins to grow. Seeing this college
grow so .quickly makes being a part
of it even better.
Fraternities and sororities give
people, especially those new to Cal
State San Marcos, the opportunity
to meet new people and experience
things they might not be able to
anywhere else.
Anyone who has been on campus
has seen the letters and tables for
the fraternities and sororities. This
week kicks off the rush week for
both fraternities and sororities —
and an exciting one it will be.
Below are the dates and times and
a description of what events will be
going on this week. These events
help give insight into what these fraternities and sororities are all about.
Be sure to check them out.

Controversial religious debates welcomed by students
DY BCM ROFFEE
BV DEN DnCCCC
Pride Staff Writer
Monday, Feb.18, 2008 - For
nearly six hours, Cal State San
Marcos was shaken up as the
topic of Christianity and religion
became the focal point for public
discussion and debate on campus.
Tom Short, a traveling speaker
from Columbus, Ohio spoke
about his Christian beliefs on the
stairs between Academic Hall and
Craven Hall between 11 a.m. and
5:30 p.m.
Although CSUSM is no stranger
to public expressions of beliefs and
opinions, Mr. Short's showing was
one of the largest the campus has
seen in recent years. Drawing in
hundreds of students throughout
the course of the day, Short elicited
impassioned debates from many
otnHArifc resent.
students pnrAOPnt
Short touched on many issues
ranging from evolution to homosexuality, at times provoking
heated responses to his controversial statements. Those who disagreed were most often the ones
first to speak out, while others
simply listened on quietly.
"I advocate that we convert the
gay people," said Short. "Homosexuality is a sin."
One student quickly replied,
"That's according to the Bible.
Why do they need to be saved
because they're gay? Why do they
need to be saved because of their
sexual orientation?"
Despite some of his inflammatory remarks, Short emphasized
that he was not there to place judgment. However, students like Nastajja McDonald disagreed.
" m not the one s cittino Vif»rp nlfir,reflect their C Christian religion

and briefly suspended the display
to ensure that classes and campus
activity were not being interrupted or compromised. Short
continued shortly thereafter following a brief conversation with
campus police.
Reactions were mixed among
students in the audience. Sopmore Erika Ervin echoed the
belief of many students in attendance saying, "While I do agree
with some of what he is saying,
I don't like his argumentative
methods." Some students felt
that Short's style was too confrontational and didn't necessar-

Short will continue on to other
college campuses to conduct similar demonstrations. More information Short's work can be found at

Spencer Gooch, also a representative from VCC, said they are
noticing the concern for safe sex

"We see a lot more adults are
warming up to what we offer
lately, in some cases more than the
younger students," he said. "As
they should, safety is important to
everyone, not just the youth."

the importance of being safe and

"There are worse things in the

a few seconds and validates the transaction. Then a Cougar selects one or multiple sodas. The Cougar finishes by pressing the blue "Complete" button. The processor then displays a "Thank You." The
processor does not print a receipt.
Although various credit card and banking companies might have different methods of identifying the transaction, the
transaction shows up as "Vend at Cola" on
monthly billing statements.
Not all Cougars are eager to use the
new process. "I wouldn't use it because I
am very skeptical. There are just so many
ways that people can get your credit card
information," said Senior Business Major
Jillian Cox.
Last semester Coca-Cola vending
machines across the campus received an
upgrade allowing Cougars to utilize credit
cards in purchasing a soda. The card processing machine accepts credit cards or
banking cards with credit card logos and
does not require the insertion of a personal identification number.
The addition happened over night and

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

Picking Up the Pen Again
Hollywood Goes Back to Work
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
After 100 days, the Writers Guild of
America settled on terms with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP) and therefore ended
the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America
Strike. Beginning on Nov. 5,2007, the writers of television shows and motion pictures
stopped working due to issues with DVD
profits and credit for new media, which
include Internet shows and 'on-demand'
programs.
The Eastern and Western Writers' Guilds
laid terms for a new contract on February
10 and voted it in place two days later.
According to the website for the Writers
Guild of America, East, (WGAE) votes in
favor of the new contract totaled an overwhelming 92.5%.
The president of the WGAE, Michael
Winship, said, "The commitment and solidarity of our members made it happen . ..
our two unions stronger than ever." The
members of the AMPTP, which include
the Presidents and CEOs of entertainment
studios, responded saying, "We hope now
to focus our collective efforts on what this
industry does best ... working together
to deliver great content to our worldwide
audiences." r
Though the unions are pleased with the
results, this strike did not come without its
cost. One of the most prominent was the
canceling of the Golden Globe ceremony.
The shockwaves cost the city of Los
Angeles $380 million, according to NPR,
due to tourism loss as well as losses surrounding food and limo services and hotels.
Also, studios may cut new shows that never
got rolling, and the people who work undistinguished jobs behind the camera lost
income.
Both guilds and the AMPTP are looking
to make the best of the situation and bringing entertainment back to the viewers.

THE PRIDE
O scar t urns 8 0 Pride predicts winners
Best Supporting Male Actor
Javier Bardem for "No Country for Old Men." This was without a doubt the most incredible
performance this year. It is too
bad the Academy did not nominate him for best male lead,
because with his performance,
his presence resonates even
when he is off screen. Bardem
has created a villain that can
stand ground among the likes of
Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader,
and Norman Bates. An honorable mention belongs to Gasey
Affleck for his work in "The
Assassination of Jesse James
by the Coward Robert Ford,"
because he showed he has seri-
ous acting skills, unlike his
brother Ben.

$312.9 Million Cut
Concerns Entire
C SU Community
Chancellor Reed
addresses budget
to CSU employees
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
In a public message addressed
to the California State University
employees on Jan. 30, Chancellor Charles B. Reed focused on
California's recent budget cuts
approved by the Board of Trustees in response to the $14.5 billion state budget deficit.
In order to prevent the projected ten percent student fee
increase, the CSU budget must
accrue $73.2 million in addition
to the already proposed $312.9
million cut.
"This funding reduction comes
only three years after our budget
was reduced by over $500 million
during the 2002-03 and 2004-05
fiscal years, which led to significantly reduced student access,
as well as a. dramatic increase in
student fees," Reed continued.
"History will likely be repeated
if the Governor's proposed CSU
budget reductions are sustained

Super Ibesday and Fat Tiiesday Go Greek
Greek Fair Offers Sneak Peak Into Rush Week
BY ROSS LICHTMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Tuesday, Feb. 5- CSUSM
Greek organizations held their
first annual 'Greek Fair' during
University Hour.
Because its in its first year,
many people responsible for
arranging the event were uncertain as to whether or not it would
be successful. The event proved
to be a memorable one for all
students in attendance.
"Greek Fair is a time for
everyone to come together and
have fun while learning about
all of the different fraternities,
sororities, and Greek organizations that we have to offer on
our campus," stated Alex Hand,
a sophomore and member of the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Throughout the fair, students
received free food, participated
in games, and live entertainment. Food ranged from free
popcorn, Pat and Oscars salads
to Little Caesars pizza.
The fair festivities began
when people started playing the
games, which included: football
and soccer ball contests, and a
strength pole to see who could

With a variety of exciting activities, the Greek fair drew the attention of CSUSM students during U-hour
hit it the hardest with a large
hammer. Local radio station,
91X, was in attendance to play
music for surrounding listeners.
Besides all of the fun, the fair
was a great time for interested
students learn about Greek life
at CSUSM. Each fraternity and
sorority passed out fliers and
other information in order to
notify and recruit passing students about their organizations.
"This isn't a time for each
sorority or fraternity to be competing against one another to see
who can recruit more students; it
is a time for people on campus to
learn more about the Greek life
that we have at our school and
see if they might be interested
in joining it." Said Alpha Chi
Omega member Lauren Cerruti.
The Greek fair was also an
appropriate lead into Rush Week
(beginning Feb. 18). While each
Greek organization puts on different events throughout the
week, Rush Week is a time for
students to choose which fraternity or sorority they would like
to join.
Due to the success of the Greek
fair, the event will likely become
a tradition on campus for years
to come.
Primaries bring political activity, discussion to CSUSM
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
It was an exciting week for politics at Cal State San Marcos as
the biggest day in the presidential
primary season, Super Tuesday,
came and went, stimulating a
flurry of activity on campus.
As polling places like the one
on campus were shutting down
across the state, CSUSM students flocked the Grand Salon at
the Clarke Field House Tuesday,
Feb. 5, for a Super Tuesday viewing party from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Hosted by the American Democracy Project and the University
Student Union Advisory Board
(USUAB), the event featured live
CNN coverage of Super Tuesday
results and free food for those in
attendance.
An open-microphone made its
way around the room giving students the opportunity to share
their opinions about the candidates, important political issues,
as well as any other opinions
about the overall state of the
nation.
"I want to be proud of my
country again," said a student in
the audience.
Commentary was not limited
to those who dared to offer their
opinions on the microphone.
Large pieces of paper representing a variety of political issues
adorned the walls of the Grand
Salon and bore the written opinions of those in attendance. Brief
dialogues would emerge on
these message boards as people
responded to comments made by
others.
On the topic of immigration,
one student anonymously wrote,
"America was founded on immigration. While it is a problem
that people are coming over illegally, should it really be our main
focus?"

read, "Yes. These immigrants
come to our country and (often
times) are only here to better their
lives. What good is it letting our
population grow if it isn't going
to benefit everyone. We must
slow this expansion down before
it's too late."
Even after Super Tuesday
passed, the activities at CSUSM
continued throughout the week.
On Feb. 7, during University
Hour, The Political Science Club
hosted Dr. Shana Bass in part of
its "Pizza and Politics" series.
Dr. Bass, a professor from the
Dept. of Political Science, offered
in-depth analysis of the Super
Tuesday results for both sides of
the aisle.

A SI kicks Off countdown to Spring Fling San Diego cruise event sells out quickly
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students Incorporated launched a Spring Fling
Kick-Off during University Hour
on Feb. 5 to promote the anticipated event. Tickets for the Mar.
15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were
sold out by 10 a.m. the following
day.
The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks
to commemorate the beginning
of ticket distributions.
Spring Fling will take place
on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor
from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The
three-storied boat features a live
DJ, bars serving refreshments
and appetizers; and a casino with
blackjack, roulette and Texas
Hold'em. Guests can use fake
money while gambling with a
chance to win a trip for two to
Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's
restaurant.
Although tickets to the event
have sold out, tickets for the party
bus are still available. Party bus
tickets are $20 a person and are
available to both students and
guests. The bus will go roundtrip
from CSUSM to the San Diego
harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets
are available in the ASI Business
Office, FCB 103.
"The boat has a capacity of 500
so there is absolutely no way to
release more. The question that
I keep getting is how do I get
a ticket? I know a lot of people
bought extra tickets, you were
allowed to buy up to three, so
my advice is ask around. There
is also a Facebook event people
can join to ask others for tickets,"
said ASI Programming Board
Social Events Specialist, Molly
Durham.

Super Tuesday, the big prize
because we're the largest
state and we have the largest
number of delegates at stake,"
said Dr. Bass.
With Mitt Romney's suspension of his campaign, the
Republican race narrowed,
leaving John McCain as the
clear front-runner. As Dr. Bass
noted, come-from-behind victories by Mike Huckabee or
Ron Paul are highly unlikely.
While the Republican primaries yielded a clear victor
in McCain, the results on the
Democratic side were much
different. "What happened to
the Democrats in California is
really interesting and what happened to Democrats across the
country is also really interesting," said Dr. Bass.
After the dust had settled,
Super Tuesday gave no strong
advantage to either Barack
Obama -or Hillary Clinton.
Making sure to include the
audience in the discussion,
Dr. Bass asked for opinions
on how the candidates reacted
to the outcome of Super Tuesday.
"They both postured," said
student Tawn Kent. "One said
they clearly had the largest
number of votes and the other
said they had greater support in
a larger number of states."
While Clinton seized the most
delegates, winning the biggest
prize of the night in California,
she won in fewer states than
Obama, a clear indication that
the primary nomination would
most likely be fought for all the
way to the national convention.
Delegate counts differed
among publications, mainly due
to differences in regards to socalled "super delegates."
Obama narrowed Clinton's
lead over the weekend with
convincing wins in the Lousiana primaries and the caucuses
in Washington, Nebraska, and
Maine. The Clinton campaign
predicts victories in the late
Ohio and Texas contests should
negate Obama's February comeback.

Freshman, Brian Burrows.
The dinner provided consists of
a four-course meal equivalent to
$35.
"I think any major would benefit from the event. There are a million ways to drive a car but there
is a right way. Proper etiquette
shows that people of all backgrounds took the time to learn how
to be formal. For example, if you
go to another country with baggy
pants and a t-shirt you might accidentally disrespect someone. The
way you eat at home may not be
the proper way to carry yourself at
a formal dinner. You could make
people feel uncomfortable in that
setting. There are formalities that
you need to know, regardless of
your major," said Junior and Nursing Major, Angel Castañeda.
Due to the popularity of the
event, interested Cougars are
encouraged to reserve their place
immediately by visiting the Career
Center in Craven Hall 1400. Res-
ervations are $10. (Cancellations
are non-refundable after Feb. 15.)
"All majors, including Literature and Writing Studies majors,
should know how to act in a
formal setting. It is a really good
deal and a great opportunity to
only pay $10 while getting a country club four-course dinner," said
Junior and Literature and Writing
Studies Major, Brian Mann.

�Continuity is the key
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
All the head coaching vacancies have now
been filled as of Sat. with the surprising hire
of Jim Zorn, the former QB coach of the
Seattle Seahawks, to be the new head coach
of the Washington Redskins.
Here's a look at who should've been
hired for the head coaching positions and
the new coaches being hired as upcoming
head coaches for the teams that continuity
applied to in the Redskins, Colts, and Seahawks.
Washington Redskins- Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams hired in 2004, who
appeared to be the front runner to take over
as head coach after Joe Gibbs retired in
Dec. Williams was head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003, and compiled a
record of 17-30 before being fired.
You would expect owner Daniel Snyder to
try and make a splash and hire a big name
coach like he recently did with Gibbs, but
Gibbs told Snyder after he retired that continuity is extremely important and will not
set back the organization in a major way.
Clearly that's not what happened, when
the Redskins unexpectedly fired Williams,
who is now the defensive coordinator for the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
Indianapolis Colts- Tony Dungy is a spiritual and calm man that has been contemplating his retirement as head coach for the past
three years after his team's season has completed. Dungy admitted that he did not want
to coach past 50, he is now 51 and again
decided that he will return to coaching, for
at least one more year.
When Dungy does retire, he will be praised
for being a great coach and an even better
man that deserves nothing but respect. The
man that was recently tabbed to be the next
head coach is current QB coach and assistant head coach, Jim Caldwell. Caldwell
was one of the hottest names out there to
be a head coach arid has interviewed for
at plethora of head coaching vacancies,
before being named future head coach of
the Colts.
Caldwell, hired in 2001, has head coaching experience as the Wake Forest head
coach from 1993-2000, and has developed
6'5 230 lb. laser rocket arm QB Peyton
Manning into the superstar that he is.
Seattle Seahawks- Mike Holmgren has
also been looking into his future the past
couple years. The window is closing in on
the aging Seahawks, who have won four
straight NFC West championships. Watch
out for those 49ers, HA!
The Seahawks have absolutely no running game anymore, with Shaun Alexander aging in front of ours eyes, with two
injury-plagued years since his phenomenal
MVP year. The coach that will take over
is defensive back coach Jim Mora, former
head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who
wasfiredextremely too early. Smart move
Atlanta that Petrino hire really worked out
didn't it?
*
Mora was also the former defensive
coordinator of the 49ers, should've hired
him instead of that bum Dennis Erickson.
Jim Mora Jr. also from the Washington
area, and his alma mater is the University of Washington, he has head coaching
experience, and has head coaching lineage
in that his father, Jim Mora Sr. famous for
the "PLAYOFFS? You're talking about
PLAYOFFS?" line, was former head coach
of the Indianapolis Colts.
Cougar Baseball: Week in Review
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
The Cougars split their two games
this week, beating Point Loma (5-2)
and losing to UCSD (3-2). to make their
record (3-5) in the young season.
In the first game of the week, the Cougars handed Point Loma their second
straight loss to the Cougars, 8-5.
Point Loma struck first with a lead
off double by RF Kaohi Downing, who
scored on a double play by CF Kurt
Steinhauer. The Cougars came back
swinging in the top of the 2 , with three
runs on two hits. Leading off the top
of the 2 , CF Tristan Gale hit his third
home run of the year to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. DH Terry Moritz then
hit a two-out two-run home run to right
to extend the Cougars lead to 3-0.
SP Eric Julienne had a strong start,
winning his first game of the year,
allowing just three runs on six innings
pitched with three strike outs and two
walks given up.
The Cougars would tack on three
more runs in the top of the 7 . RF Jared
Suwyn continued his hot play going
3-4; with his biggest hit being a tworun single to LF scoring two runs in the
three-run inning.
P Grant Harrell and Jared Suwyn
combined for 2 2/3 of one-hit baseball to
nd
nd
th
close out Point Loma 8-5 for the Cougars
third win of the year. >
In the second game of the week, the
Cougars faced the #15 ranked team in the
nation Div. II's UCSD.
The Cougars and UCSD matched each
other 3-3 by the end of the 3 inning.
UCSD struck first with a two-run bottom
1 of the 1 inning. DH Franco hit a twoout two-run home run to right field. CF
Tristan Gale hit his second home run of
the week and fourth of the year to lead off
the top of the 2 inning. LF Austin Way
would constitute, as the last run the Cougars would score this game with a lead
off home run in the top of the 3 .
UCSD would break the game open
with back-to-back two-run innings in the
bottom of the 5 and 6 . RBI singles from
CF/LF Domanic and 2B Imesori would
lead to the two-runs scored in the bottom
of the 5 for UCSD. In the bottom of the
6 , a lead-off double by 3 baseman Bono
would start off another two-run inning
ending with a RBI's from CF Burke and
SS Albitz to make the game 7-3.
The Cougars struggled to stop the
offensive attack by UCSD using seven
pitchers with the longest outing of the
seven to be 2 2/3 innings by P Johnny
Holtman. The seven pitchers combined
to give up 10 runs and 15 hits. The Cougars fall to (3-5) on the season while
UCSD is now (3-2).

�Surf team has best season yet
Solid performances help surf team capture second place in conference rankings
BY AMBER PUHA
Pride Contributor
This weekend, the regular
season for the National Scholastic Surfing Association College
Team Season, concluded at Huntington Beach's 9th Street beach.
CSUSM posted a 3rd place finish
wrapping up a record best season.
With a 2nd place overall finish in
the conference ratings, participants from CSUSM posted two
2 place finishes, one 1 , and
one third. Prior to this season,
CSUSM's best ever single event
finish was a 4th. This marks a
major break through in the team's
8 year history, and marks its
arrival as a serious competitive
threat to the larger, beach located
schools such as UCSB and UCSD.
Thanks to the financial support
of Hansen's Boardroom, CSUSM
will enter the state championships as the number two seed.
UCSB was dominant all
nd
st
season, only faltering with a 3rd
place at home, at C Street in Ventura. Otherwise, UCSB posted 1st
places. (Two of their three wins
came with comfortable margins,)
But, CSUSM was nipping at
UCSB's heals at the first event of
season at La Jolla Blacks Beach,
taking second by only a 1/2 of a
point. Beside UCSB, the only
other team to beat CSUSM this
season was Mira Costa College.
Mira Costa came on strong down
the stretch when the twins, Julian
and Alex Ganguli, returned to
school and collegiate competition
in the spring semester. In the
final event of the season, Alex
led Mira Costa Red to a second
place.
«
The final weekend of competition was both interesting
and exciting for CSUSM. Team
anchor Scott McBride exited
early, as did Ventura event winner
Garrett James.
Season standout Chris Smith
also didn't have his best event,
and Aaron Coyle was unable to
compete. This put the final outcome in the hands of Timmy
Long and Paul Brandlin (freshman), Sean Hastings (senior),
and the ladies Erin Lewis and
Lauren Nutter. Pressure seemed
no problem for these five as they
maintained the determination to
keep CSUSM on the podium for
the 4th consecutive event.
Long looked snappy and vertical in the beach break conditions. Long had a best ever
performance in the shortboard
men's division, advancing
through four rounds of competition to earn 9th place. Brandlin
hada sluggish start in round one,
but stepped it up after that. He
won all his remaining heats until
just missing advancement into
the shortboard men's final earning 7th place.
Brandlin and Long were the
top point getters earning 23
points each. Hastings, who also
looked quick and snappy in the
beach break conditions, showed
his determination to make the
most of his senior year. He has
now seen back to back quarterfinal appearances.
The ladies made a point of
redeeming themselves after
early exits at Ventura. Freshman,
Lauren Nutter, charged through
two rounds of competition earning 9th. Erin Lewis charged
through 3 rounds of competition
and qualified for the women's
final.
CSUSM entered thefinalswith
113 points tied for 2nd place with
Mira Costa College. The only
problem was that Mira Costa
managed to qualify three people
for the finals, while CSUSM
only had Lewis remaining. At
this point, Mira Costa's second
placefinishwas foregone conclusion. Lewis however staved off
the attack from Point Loma and
UCSD to move into 3rd with her
5th place finish in the women's
final. UCSB finished first in the
event, Mira Costa took second,
and CSUSM placed third.
Another highlight ofthe season
was longboarder Christian
Clark, who surfs for CSUSM B
team. He made every final event
this season, earning 4th, 1st, 3rd
and 2nd respectively. He has
been the anchor for the CSUSM
B team and a serious threat to
upset in the longboard division all season long. CSUSM B
team surfer Derek Vaickus also
had a breakout event with his
round three appearance. These
two buoyed the B team and kept
them on track to qualify for the
state championships. CSUSM
B earned 12th place in the last
event of the season out of 25
teams.
State Championships will be
on Friday, March 7th at Churches
Beach in San Onofre.

Softball Goes 2-2 in
Busy Weekend of Play
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM Softball kicked off
the weekend with a doubleheader against Bethany University on Saturday, winning big in
both contests - 10-0 and 8-0.
In game one, freshman
pitcher, Breanna Sandberg
allowed only four hits in a fiveinning complete game shutout,
allowing for the Cougar offense
to go to work at the plate. The
Cougars set a school record for
runs scored in an inning, with
a 10-run bottom of the second,
highlighted by freshman, Mimi
Krutein's base-clearing triple
with one out. Sandberg held
Bethany scoreless, striking out
six en route to the Cougars 10-0
win.
The Cougars followed suit in
game two, utilizing solid pitching to capture another huge
victory. Junior, Melissa Lerno
finished the game with a complete game shutout, allowing
seven hits and striking out five.

Staying healthy at CSUSM Tht skinny onWmMkMt
In today %
BY ALEXANDER HAND
Pride Staff Writer
If you were to ask students how they stay
healthy at San Marcos, the general consensus would be the rigorous climb up the
never ending stairs to class every day. With
a nickname like CSU Stair Master, most
students are able tofightoff the "freshman
15" by simply going to class. However,
besides the wide variety of stairs it has to
offer, CSUSM also has a wide variety of
resources and services dedicated to keeping its students healthy.
Student Health and Counseling Services
(SHCS) for instance is dedicated to keeping you at the top of your game. As stated
in their mission, the goal of the SHCS
team is "to provide quality medical care
that allows students to perform optimally,
physically, and mentally; and to enhance
their academic and intellectual potential."
The staff includes medical and administrative professionals and the facility even
includes a low-cost pharmacy.
A student is able to schedule an appointment with a Doctor, Nurse, Counselor or
Health Educator, Monday through Friday
from 8am-4:45pm. SHCS is located just
across the street from campus on the corner
of Craven and Twin Oaks. For more information regarding SHCS visit the website at
http://www.csusm.edu/shcs/.
fight
Another resource dedicated to a healthier you are the athletic facilities available
at the Clarke Field House. The right to use
this facility is paid for in part with your
tuition every semester, so why not take
advantage of it?
The Clarke offers a full gym with everything from stationary bikes, to treadmills
and free weights to weight machines,
Also available to use is both outdoor and
indoor volleyball courts. When asked
how he liked working out at the Clarke,
CSUSM student Travis Wilson said, "[it's
a] great place to go work out and socialize
with people you might not normally see
other places." Wilson also referred to The
Clarke as "its own little work out community".
The healthy student isn't complete without something healthy to eat on campus.
Believe it or not, there are a few places to
eat these things. The Dome for instance
offers a full salad and soup bar and even
has fresh fruit in the University Store,
At the University Village Apts. Brian
Dawson and family make sure that their
students are fed at least one night a week.
On Mondays, Dawson usually prepares a
meal for 200+ starving college students,
ensuring that they are eating healthy and
socializing with fellow students. There are
also plans in the work for a Student Union
which would offer a much wider variety
of food to students on campus sometime
in the near future,
So yes, you should continue to book
it up those stairs on the way to class to
off the beer belly. But you should
also be sure to take advantage of the other
resources dedicated to your health along
the way. After all, you're only in college
once; you should make sure your body
makes it out alive.

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

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

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

�B usting t he b eats d own b y t he b each
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
A blaster and the master of
ghetto-fabulous free-styling, the
one and only Bushwalla is like no
other local artist you have ever
even heard of with his rhymefilled flow, funkadelic acoustic
rapping—and of course—his
infamous and ever-growing 'fro.
The harmonious and self-proclaimed "original gangster from
Cleveland," Bushwalla counts his
past 22 years of performance as
merely the foundation for his current career status. At the youthful
age of nine, Bushwalla, or back
then known as William D. Galewood, joined "Kids on Broadway," (a live musical theater
group for youth) in which his love
for performing, acting, singing,
and bringing joy into the lives of
others was first actualized.
Rocking the mic around town
and across the nation, the former
clown (yes, a professional clown
for 8 years) beat-boxes and
entertains at anywhere from
low-key house shows to playing international festivals with
his roomie and longtime friend,
Jason Mraz.
This past weekend, I had the
lovely opportunity to catch up
with Bushwalla for a brief interview in the sun, overlooking
the Oceanside Pier, as we contemplated the fate of the shabby
house whose glory days of being
in "Top Gun" have long gone.
I have also been fortunate to
attend several of Bushwalla's
shows as of late, as he is
wrapping up a
month-long
M
Sunday
night
residency at Mueller College, across the street
from the former Twiggs Green
Room down in University
Heights. Don't worry; you can
still catch him there this upcoming Sunday! Each show not only
encouraged my obsession for
live music, but it transformed
me into a pivotal element in the
show itself. You see, should you
be so lucky to partake in a Bushwalla experience—and I should
hope you would—you would
quickly find that audience participation at shows is not only
encouraged, it's mandatory! At
any Bushwalla show, you might
be pleasantly surprised to find
Bushwalla trying to balance
his guitar on his chin, and walk
across the audience's chairs with
everyone still seated—among
other humorous antics—all of
which cement his showmanship,
his talent, and his affair with
improv.
Therefore, without further ado,
the following is an excerpt from
the wildly amusing and singular
interview with Bushwalla.
The Pride: How did you come
up with the name Bushwalla?
Bushwalla: I used to listen
to the Ghetto Boys when I was
16 years old. They had this
guy, Bush with Bill, and I had
a system in my car so I'd bump
[it], and my friends started calling me Bush with Billy. So, when
I moved to New York to go to
school, I went to the orientation
and I walk in and I hear "Bushwick!" and I'm like "what?" It
was a guy from Cleveland, so
then my friends up there started
calling me Bushwick. And then I
teamed up with Mraz and eventually we were writing together
one day and he goes, "Dude, you
can't be Bushwick, there already
is one," and so I said, "What
about Bushwalla?", and it was
as simple as that. I didn't think
twice about it. Maybe if I would
have known then what I know
now, I might not have chosen
Bushwalla. It's a blessing and
a curse. But what's in a name?
You know what I mean? I could
easily do the same thing under
any name.
The Pride: What has been the
biggest personal transformation in your music so far?
Bushwalla: Repetition, playing with different people, doing
as many shows as I try to do,
and confidence. The more confidence you have, the cooler you
look. And I don't mean ego, I
don't mean you're up there going
"I'm awesome." It's a confidence
you say to yourself. Affirmations are a big thing for me. It's
all about taking down the
fourth wall
and being one with the audience, experiencing it with them.
I think the discovery of that, that
they're as much my audience as
I am their audience—if I can
get on a ride with them and we
can surf together the hour I'm
on stage—that's what it is, and
that's where confidence comes
from.
The Pride: Tell me about your
new album.
Bushwalla: The new album
is called "Autodidactical, Freestyle, and Radical." Autodidactical isn't really a word. It's kind
of like a made up word, and I
wrote it in a song years ago.
"Autodidact" means self-taught,
which I am. And "freestyle" is
basically how I live my life, how
I live my shows, it's just how we
all should be doing it. "Radical"
is just like radical thinking; the
album is radical. It really captures the Bushwalla mentality,

the comedy, the seriousness. The
guy who produced the album,
Andre DeSantanna, put his touch
on the whole thing. He really let
it evolve into an art piece and not
just another merch item. I think
it's a very honest album. I don't
think there's a single; I don't even
know what
a
single is.
But I'll
tell
you
what,
I
think every one of them is a song
that someone could respond to.
Like you may not like tracks one
to eight, but you might really dig
nine.
The Pride: How many tracks
are on the new album?
lesson? Don't die your hair pink.
I was going for another color, but
it ended up that way. Live life.
Live high. Experience. College
gives you amazing things. Independence; that's what I got from
college. I met some of the best
friends I have to this day in college. It was the seed that planted
my adult life. I went to New York
and got crazy for two years, and
learned how to write songs. I
didn't have to try to be what I
thought I was supposed to be.
i man, Jason Mraz;
and he is not only a
great friend of mine,
he's a fantastic artist.
It's going to be done
on recycled, biodegradable paper with vegetable oil ink—totally
green. Like when we
put the album together, I
said if there is one thing
I want, I want it to be a
green album. I went to
San Francisco and did
the Green Festival, and
it's very important to
me to not contribute
to the waste.
Bushwalla:
You
know, some things
in life you don't know—
you just trust. I don't know why
I make music. If you asked me
why I made music, I'd have no
idea. If you talked to any of the
surfers in front of us, they could
try to explain to you what surfing means to them, but the only
true answer is what's happening
inside of them right now while
they're on that board. And it's
like after I'm done making music
or doing a show, you just go back.
But maybe if I stopped in the
middle of a show, and you asked
me that question, I'd probably be
able to answer it, or I wouldn't
even have to because you would
just see what it meant to me. It's
part of breathing. It's part of me.
If I were to cut off music in my
life, I would be an amputee. I
would be disabled. There is no
other option than performing [for
me]. Performing is music, magic
and making peace.
Bushwalla: There are 11
listed, and then there are some
surprises. I would say the last
week of March it will be
available online, on iTunes,
CDBaby.com, bushwalla.net,
a link through MySpace, and
through live shows. The art- The Pride:

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

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

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

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

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

New York is home to many
giants: the victorious NY Giants,
giant skyscrapers, a giant statue,
giant bridges, giant pretzels, giant
hot dogs, and giant musical productions. That said, any venture
to New York City is bound to be
one monumental occasion, and so
too was mine last year.
Arriving in the city at 3 a.m.
one Saturday morning, it only
took seconds for the infamous
saying that NYC is "the city
that never sleeps" to ring true.
Crammed into the backseat of
a taxi (my first NY taxi ride of
many), adrenaline pulsed through
me as our cab driver proceeded to
get out of the car come close to
blows with another driver over
who's turn it was to merge into
the right-hand lane. I never heard
so many violent profanities in
different languages at one time
before.
Once on Manhattan Island, we
made our way to Times Square.
A hub of fluorescent lights and
mayhem, in the center of all the
action we arrived at our hotel,
which stood adjacent to the glowing Coca-Cola marquee and next
to the Legally Blonde Broadway,
show. A world all its own; the
lights, action and smells mystified and excited me.
Throughout the duration of our
Manhattan adventure, I experi-
The thing about

it is nearly impossible to capture it

all in under a week.
enced many firsts. My first NY
hot dog, my first time hailing a
cab on my own, my first time getting lost in a such an overwhelming city, and the first time I had
the opportunity to see so many
historical and famous places.
The thing about New
York is that there
is so much to see
and do, that it is
nearly impossible
to capture it in
words, and see it
all in under a week.
Our first night in
the city my group
of companions and
I made a list of all
the things we wanted
to do and see. Then,
we attempted to organize the locations
g eographically
and maximize
every minute
of every day.
Forget sleeping—we were
in New York,
and who knew
when we were
going to be
back there

again—we were going to t ry to
do it all.
Day one began with a privately
guided limousine tour of the city
to get our bearings of how to

miles in the rain to the

was bittersweet, as it will forever
be one of the most memorable
days of my life. Seeing Lady Liberty in all her glory and breathing
in the musty history that filled the
hallways and stairs, awakened a
new sense of adventure and patriotism.
The rest of our trip continued
in this fashion, with a lot of bitter,
and almost as much sweet. Sludging around the city in the sticky
heat and moody weather at times
created problems, such as ending
up on the subway line that went
to the Bronx all by myself, and
running out of clean, dry clothes.

of "I heart N Y" shirts to build a

OurSpace comes to CSUSM

One of the biggest impacts the

most in demand for news that is

Primaries & Super Tuesday Preview
BY PAUL WYSOCKI
Pride Staff Writer
Today is Super Tuesday, the day when
more than 20 states across the country
will ho>ld t hej| p iit^j^y ^electigns, This
means that the states involved in the primaries (24 to be exact, including California) will have voters cast their ballots
toward the candidate they believe to be
the best individual for the j ob of president of the United States of America.
Furthermore, the more states a candidate wins, the better chance he or she
has at being the front-runner. To put it
simpler: Super Tuesday is kind of like a
mini-election, or a preliminary round in
American Idol.
The official presidential elections are
not until November; but t hat's November,
and this is now, giving us ten months to
go; unofficially marking Super Tuesday
the beginning of the race!
The w inners of the m ajority of the 24
states will be recognized as the f rontrunners, and begin t o c ampaign nationally. Before, campaigning was only for
states that held earlier p rimaries, such
as Iowa or New Hampshire, in order for
candidates t o save money and secure
victories, propelling them t hrough the
race.
However, a fter Super Tuesday the
f ront-runners take the lead, the battle
lines will remain drawn until November.
A year ago t here were countless candidates campaigning all across the country.

THE PRIDE
RecycleMania 2008 begins
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
It is that time again. The Recyclemania 2008 contest begins
February 8th. The annual recycling contest happens for 10
weeks, and is open to competing
colleges nationwide. In 2006 and
2007, CSUSM won the Grand
Champion Award, and in 2005,
when the contest only contained
two categories, CSUSM almost
won the Per Capita category and
placed first in the Recycling Rate
category.
Currently, the 2008 con-
test includes more
than 400 colleges,
whereas last year's
contest only included a little more
than 200 schools. San Diego State
University and University of California San Diego have entered
the competition again.
This year there are four main
categories in the contest: Largest Amount of Recyclables Per
Capita, Largest Amount of Total
Recyclables, Least Amount of
.Trash Per Capita, and Highest
Recycling Rate. Participating
colleges can also compete in the
Targeted Materials category. In
the Targeted Materials category,
schools may choose one item from
the following to focus on: bottles
and cans, corrugated cardboard,
food service organics, and paper,
and then the competition mandates measurements in pounds
on a weekly basis throughout the
duration of the competition. For
their efforts, campuses receive
trophies, awards, and certificates.
The Green Team and Blue
Crew are major components in
the competition. The Green Team
constantly focuses on reducing,
recycling, and reusing at CSUSM
while the Blue Crew handles the
actual collection and sorting of
CSUSM's trash. Based on their
combined efforts, CSUSM continues to be a fierce competitor in
the contest.
When asked if CSUSM will win
the competition, Junior Business
Major Kyle McClellan responded
with, "Win? Heck yeah! Our
school is the stuff!"

Mardi Gras: Let the good times roll
BY AMY SALISBURY
Pride Staff Writer
I would be willing to bet that
nearly everyone in the continental
United States and Western Europe
has at least heard of Mardi Gras.
That's right, the greatest free party
on earth; narrow, cozy streets in
the French Quarter, beads flying
from balconies bursting with
eager celebrators, free alcohol,
countless floats, outrageous costumes, and raucous behavior in
every nook and cranny of New
Orleans, Louisiana.
Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day,
or most commonly known as, Fat
Tuesday, is in fact today. As the
last day before the Catholic observance of Lent, Mardi Gras calls
for merriment and festivity to run
thick throughout New Orleans,
not to mention innumerable other
locations around the world.
Arriving as early a » February
3 or as late as March 9, Mardi
Gras serves as a last-ditch effort
to treat yourself prior to the dry
month preceding Easter. Simply
known as Carnival or Carnivale
internationally (namely, Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil), the celebration's
intentions are universal while still
incorporating the great music and
over-indulgence synonymous with
the revelry here in the States;
Most partygoers have no idea
that Mardi Gras actually ends
today, Fat Tuesday, with January 6 as the real beginning of the
festivities. On Epiphany, twelve
days after Christmas, Orthodox
Catholics believe that Jesus Christ
"shone forth" as God in human
form. Western Christians also celebrate this day as the visitation of
the Magi and commemorate the
event with a feast.
What's more, the tradition began
in the United States even before
the territory fell under American
rule. Nearly one hundred years
before the Louisiana Purchase,
King Louis XIV reigned over a
large part of our now united country. As a means of defending his
newly acquired land, the French
monarch sent for Iberville and
Bienville LeMoyne to go sailing
up the Mississippi River in hopes
of establishing a new settlement.
The brothers called the area they
came upon Point du Mardi Gras.
Throughout the years, proud
French descendants inhabiting the
Bayou, known as Creoles, passed
on their traditions to make honorary Creoles out of all taking part
in the bash.
As interesting as all the history is, the mere mention of Mardi
Gras causes most Americans
to conjure up thoughts of flowing beer and women shamelessly
bearing their chests in exchange
for plastic beads. Obviously, there
is no objection to this on Bourbon Street, but has anyone ever
stopped to ask: Why beads?
It all started in the 1920s with
the Rex Company's float tossing
inexpensive glass necklaces into
the parade's crowd. Thus, a tradition was born. Nowadays, it is
quite common for float Krewes
(groups who produce and ride on
parade floats) to shell out thousands of dollars on the enticing
purple, green, and gold necklaces.
All in all, Mardi Gras is not
solely a French celebration; it is
rather a means of uniting different
people and cultures all looking for
the same thing: a good party.

Cougars split home opener against Vanguard
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
The Cougars (2-4) split their home
opener, doubleheader against Vanguard
(1-1) on Sat. losing the first game 8-3, and
winning the final game 1-0.
Vanguard dominated the first game on a
strong pitching p erformance froiri Dustin
Jones, who went six shutout innings
and surrendered only two hits. Michael
Anderson pitched the» final three innings
giving up the only three r uns the Cougars
scored.
Vanguard broke the game open in t he top
of the 5th and 6th innings. In the top of the
5th, RF Jason Machado hit a one-out solo
homerun to give Vanguard a 3 -0 lead.
A two out two-error mishap lead to Vanguard's second r un in the inning. In the
top of the 6th, Machado struck again with
a two-RBI single u p the middle. He ended
his day 3 -4 with four RBI's.
By t he b ottom of t he 7th, t he Cougars were down an i nsurmountable lead
7-0. Jared Suwyn ended t he Vanguard

With a severely h urt 'Big 3 ' in Philip

Volek would have b een a game m anager and would not have b een put into situations where he would t hrow interceptions as R ivers did.
j ust so he could play in the AFC championship game, meaning he was unable to

On a personal level, Rivers is a young

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

On Jan. 22-23, the CSU Board of Trustees
held theirfirstmeeting of the year to review
Governor
Arnold
Schwarzenegger's
proposed budget cut and vote on the hiring
practices of executives in the CSU system.
The Governor's proposal, announced
Jan. 10, came as a result of California's
massive budget deficit and will inevitably
cut $312 million from the CSU system,
which equates to an $875 cut from each
full-time student. In addition to the loss of
funding, student fees are slated to increase

Chancellor Reed tackles budget crisis with commi

California Faculty Association President
Lillian Taiz released a statement prior
to the meeting decrying the proposal.
"While the threat to the CSU is real,
we must remember the Governor's January
budget is just the opening' salvo. Filial
decisions have not been made. We kU0w
that higher education is part of the solution
to a struggling economy," said Taiz;.
On Jan. 22, Chancellor Charles B. Reed
and the Ad Hoc Committee discussed hiring
practices among the CSU system. The
state auditor recommended the university
create a centralized information structure
to categorize university compensation by
individual, payment type, and funding
source. The Ad Hoc Committee suggested
a comprehensive training program for
coding of salary payments to employees.
In response to last years' state audit
reports and the specially appointed Ad Hoc
Committee on the Bureau of State Àudit
Reports, Chancellor Reed stated that he
will report to State Auditor Elaine Howie
every six months on the system's progress.
Taiz spoke to the Trustees about the
importance of arguing the budget plan
and its effects on the future of the CSU.
"CFA is already preparing for the fight
ahead." Said Taiz. ' This weekend over
100 faculty activists were briefed on the
work that is before us."

�Findingyour way through
Stories, Photo, and Layout by Ben Roffee
Above: The Panama City skyline. Below: The Church of San Francisco de Asis.
From a map, Panama looks
like a thread of a country strained
by the weight of two colossal
landmasses, ready to snap at any
given time. A few moments on
the ground quickly abolishes
these notions as this tiny Central
American gem proves that big
things truly can come in the
smallest of packages .
Although the eyes of the
/
world fixate on the Panama
Canal, the rest of the country is
often overlooked. Panama City,
serving both as the Capital and
engine of this exciting country, is
quickly becoming a focal point
for culture and travel in Latin
America, Resting (if you could
call it that) on the southern coast
of Panama, Panama City is a
bustling metropolis teeming with
seemingly endless activity. In a
city with an unrivaled work ethic
and a Latin sensibility, everybody
is on the move, and the best way
to see the city is to just flow
along the human currents.
The American influence here
is undeniable, where Dunkin
Donuts and the big American
television networks are no
foreigners. Here and there,
conversations in English can
be overheard at restaurants and
sports bars, but the locals are also
patient, making it a great place to
practice your Spanish. Political
awareness is a huge part of life
in Panama, and much like the
current primaries taking place in
the U.S., Panama is undergoing
a similar process. The people in
Panama also take an interest in
American politics, which makes
for great discussion.
Unlike the U.S, everything
in Panama is wonderfully
inexpensive. Even better, save a
trip to the currency exchange and
just bring along your American
dollars. For those unable to
detach from the Internet, you will
find Panama to b e a country well
connected. While Panama carries
a much milder culture shock than
most Latin American countries,
don't pack an American attitude
i f you plan on absorbing what
Panama has to offer.
Qbserved from the fringes,
Panama City's impressive and
constantly expanding skyline
erupts against the landscape in
dramatic fashion. From within
the city, a medley of old and
tired structures rest comfortably
under the marvel of these modern
skyscrapers. Like the lush
greenery surrounding the city,
plant life is present throughout
the entire city; to see a tree
growing out of a house came as
little surprise.
Rush Hour is not just an
American affliction, and like any
booming metropolis, anticipate
running into some traffic. The
public transportation system can
be quite confusing so your best
bet is to stick to the taxis: They
don't run a meter and the dollar
can take you surprisingly far.
Even with the powerful effect
of modernization on the city, it
has not lost sight of its heritage.
Casco Viejo, or as many locals
call it, San Felipe, is the main
historic district of the city. An
intriguing blend of French and
Spanish architecture draped in
greenery, the area harbors many
of the cittes finest restaurants and
cafes amidst its narrow streets
and historical plazas. Like the
rest of the city, Casco Viejo is „
best experienced aimlessly on
foot. Reach the outskirts and
you'll find shady walkways that
offer some of the best views of
the city to the east and of the
Pacific entrance to the Panama

At the Plaza de Francia, a tall
monument and a spacious
plaza honor the French laborers
that aided in the construction of
the Panama C anal This area
of the city is so highly regarded
that it serves as the home of the
Presidential Palace, although
the armed guards near the
palace can be cause for alarm
at first glance.
Stepping back further into
the history of Panama City,
Panama Viejo (Old Panama)
is the original location of
Panama City. Destroyed in the
seventeenth century, Panama
Viejo is the oldest Spanish
settlement in the Pacific. With
the majority of the city having
burned to the ground, all that
remains today are a few stone
ruins, the most prominent and
best preserved of which is the
Cathedral tower. A stairwell

much of modern Panama City.
Don't pretend that you can
go to Panama without paying
a visit to the Panama Canal.
You can't. Even as Panama's
largest tourist trap, it is also
one of the greatest engineering
feats in the history of mankind.
The fact that it is arguably the
most important component
in global commerce should
also convince you to make
the short trip out of the city.
At Miraflores Lock, the last
stop along the canal for ships
heading into the Pacific Ocean,
hundreds of spectators look on
as massive shipping vessels
are spared thousands of miles
of travel along the treacherous
Drake Passage. Such an
efficient and convenient
passage does come with a high
cost, however. Large shipping
vessels may pay as much as
$200,000 to pass through the
canal, making it one of the
heftiest tolls on the planet.
With growing competition and
demand, plans are underway to
expand the canal to allow for
larger vessels and improved
efficiency.
With the ineessant bustle of
the city, tourists and residents
alike often turn to the outlying
countryside for a peaceful
escape, and it is here where
the benefits of such a small
country truly shine. Straying
from the beaten path in Panama
quickly becomes one of the most spectacular and rewarding
travel experiences in the
world. A stark contrast from
urban Panama, the majority
of the country contains lush,
rolling hills and valleys.
Traveling from t ie Pacific to
the Caribbean coast takes you
through an untamed Panama
not seen in most photographs.
Although small villages exist
near the main roadways, they
mark the edge of a wilderness
of pure, virgin land. Just a few
hours drive from Panama City,
the Caribbean Ocean peeks out
from the lush greenery.

a markedly different Panama
emerges. The people here, friendly
and helpful, seem to derive their
entire ancestry from the land.
The coastal Caribbean region in
all of its beauty is also very poor,
having not felt the effects of the
economic boom in Panama City.
Despite these ails, the Caribbean
coast offers many picturesque
destinations for visitors. Small
islands like Isla Grande are
accessible by boat and sit just off
the coast, housing small resorts and
relaxing getaways. Not deprived
of the historical richness that
characterizes Panama, the former
outpost of Portobelo exhibits
the ruins of a major Spanish
fortification during. With canons
still pointed towards the ocean, this
fort bears the marks of defeat at
the hands Buccaneers and later the
British.
For a country with such a strong
Western influence, Panama provides
visitors with a gentle introduction
to Latin American culture while
retaining the ability to give its
guests a unique and memorable
experience. Packed with a
lifetime 's worth of amusement, I
can't help but wonder what Panama
would be if it had some more
territory to play with.
�Letters to the Editor
Over winter break I, like everyone else at Cal State San
Marcos, received a few emails warning that a mountain
lion had been spotted near campus on several occasions
and that traps had been set and the police alerted to
deal with the supposed threat. Coincidentally I also
received a small magazine f rom Cal State San Marcos in
December (via snail mail) noting some of the upcoming
events on campus, among them the erecting of a bronze
statue of a tukwut (or mountain lion in the tongue of the
local Luiseno Native American tribe). The timing of the
emails in regard to the mountain lion sighting, and the
news about the soon to be unveiled statue struck me as
more than a little ironic.
The emails f rom CSUSM make it seem as if the
mountain lion spotted near campus is some sort of
villain simply waiting and lurking to attack and maul
someone - something flagrantly misleading. Mountain
lion attacks are exceedingly rare. In fact a mountain
lion has a better chance of being attacked and shot by a
hostile human, than a person has of being attacked by
one of these-big cats. In all likelihood the mountain lion,
probably a victim of the recent wildfires, has been forced
to unwilling locate nearer to the campus.
The language that CSUSM took in immediately
addressing the sighting of the mountain lion follows
the recent trend in San Diego County of striking
preemptively against the local wildlife. In fact several
months ago officials in one San Diego suburb had four
coyotes hunted and shot for apparently catching a few
pets in the nearby neighborhood.
As a twenty-five year resident of Southern California,
I have had mountain lions in my backyard before, yet
also understand that such occurrences are simply part
of life w hen you choose to erect your house on another
creatures home. The emails received f rom CSUSM make
it clear though that the college has chosen to reinforce
misleading stereotypes about mountain lions. Such
incidents it seems simply remind me that intolerance,
fear, and violence are still key faucets of human society,
even at a supposed institution of higher learning.
So it is more than a little ironic that Cal State San
Marcos will welcome a bronze statue of a mountain
lion to campus, yet if a real one does rear its head it will
probably b e shot. The message resonates loud and clear,
and so does the hypocrisy.

Dear Pride,
On the front page of the January 22, 2008, edition, in
"By the Numbers," you left out a very important figure
which represents the faculty who are doing most of the
teaching on our qampus (as in the CSU as a whole): the
lecturers, who are off the tenure track. Also known as
temporary faculty or "adjuncts," in fall 07, the campus
hired 71 new lecturers, raising the total to around 335.
With only 6 f ull-time lecturers, our students are taught
increasingly by contingent part-time faculty, a great
number of which teach at two or more institutions in
order to make a living. The 187 tenure-line faculty
mentioned on your f ront page are responsible for
advising the 9,159 students, since lecturers are rarely
hired to carry out this aspect of faculty work.

�Church's Influence on Sports
8 Reasons Why the Patriots Will Win
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
With the sports world taunting me over
my final winter break, I still found joy by
playing some golf and attending as many
sporting events as possible. But break is
over and it is time to get back to business.
What better way to kick off the new
semester than talking about why the New
England Patriots will go 19-0?
Here are my eight reasons for the
Patriots to win the Super Bowl this
Sunday:
8. The Patriots have cheated the system
and were called out by the New York Jets
and the NFL. Their response was a 38-14
beat down on the Chargers in week two.
7. They trailed by 10 points in the
fourth quarter to the Indianapolis Colts in
what was being called the biggest regular
season game ever. It was Tom Brady
who took over the game throwing two
touchdown passes in four minutes to win
the game 24-20.
6. In the final game of the regular
season, the Patriots' went into Giants
Stadium and saw Eli Manning gain the
confidence he was lacking when he threw
four touchdown passes in the game. The
Patriots defense will be throwing different
coverage's and blitzes at Eli trying to
force turnovers.
5. The mind games. Bill Belichick is
a genius when it comes to finding a way
to win. Then, with Tom Brady appearing
in a walking boot last week in New York.
Then, later that same afternoon he is seen
without the boot. Sprain or no sprain,
Brady will be playing for his third Super
Bowl MVP.
4. Experience! Eli has no
championship experience: His college
play at Ole Miss led to no major bowl
games and his professional career is
no better. He is in his first Super Bowl
and for the first time in a long time he
is looking like a steady quarterback.
Brady had to battle for a starting spot
at Michigan and then had to battle for a
backup spot in New England.
3. First to 37 will win. Considering
the Patriots scored more than 37 points in
eight games, while the Giants reached that
plateau only once this season. It would be
safe to say that Brady has more options to
throw to than Eli.
2. The record speaks for itself. The
Patriots are 18-0 and going for perfection.
Brady threw for a record 50 touchdowns.
Blood, Sweat, Tears, Rain
Maybe you noticed that it's raining.
This is a strange phenomena for those of
us San Diego natives, so we're going to
take a look at it in depth here today at the
Science Corner of BST.
"Rain" is actually f rom the Greek
word rainus, meaning " to be pissed on
by the sky". Some historians believe that
it descends from the Latin term ranius
et blanketus which literally translates
to, "Screw this noise. I'm staying home
under the blankets."
Rain has no natural predators, which
has allowed it to breed without disruption
to the point that we are now seeing it in
environs which have not normally been
part of its natural habitats, such as San
Diego.
I could talk now about all the positives
of rain, but any "positives" are really
just a product of clever marketing. It
makes plants grow and it's important,
While Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's
record of 22 touchdown receptions with
the same record breaking pass.
1. The number one reason why I
believe the Patriots will go undefeated:
despite loving their commercials, I am not
a big fan of the Mannings.
But when it all said and done, there
will be a new Super Bowl Champion and
a new champion of football. The Patriots
are going to win, but once again won't
cover the spread.
The final score of t he game is going
to be the Patriots 38, Giants 31 with Tom
Brady walking away with his third Super
Bowl M VP

and blah blah blah. Now, let's talk about
the dark side. Rain will make you melt.
You thought they werefluffingabout in .
The Wizard of Oz. They're not joking.
An estimated 15% of people will actually
melt if hit by more than three teaspoons
of rain.
Rain also survives mainly on a diet of
kittens and killer hairstyles. If your hair
looks good, there's probably some rain on
the way to eat it. Also, rain shot JFK. In
fact, in Seattle, convicted criminals aren't
sent to prison. They're simply left out to
be tortured and eventually devoured by
the rain.
So before you start thinking that your
spring wildflowers are about to bloom
and rain is really the tear drops of angels
or some crap, look at the cold, hard,
scientific facts. Rain is a wet, yucky
apocalypse from the sky. Watch your
back.

�2007: The Year in
By BUI Rhein/Pride
Staff Writer
•
2008 is in full swing and it's time to
call out to the world of cinema for the
past year. There were certainly some
absolutely wonderful films that came
out last year, but 2007 is marred by a
lackluster summer and several overrated
movies. Several well known American
directors put out their best works, yet it
is the works of those outside this country
that stole the show.
Before descending into a brutal attack,
on the past year, I do have sqme very good
films to commend. The year got off to
a great start with
David Fincher's
"Zodiac", which
is a contender
with "Fight Club"
as his best work.
The tension and
acting make this
one a must buy.
Also worth buying
is "The Bourne
Ultimatum",
which brought a
nice end to the trilogy, and "Ratatouille",
which was another masterpiece by Disney/
Pixar. Some of the delightful films worth
watching came out late 2007. These
include "Juno", "Across The Universe",
"3; 10 To Yuma", and "American
Gangster". For those who enjoy serious
cinema, "The Assassination of Jesse
James by the Coward Robert Ford" is an
absolute treat. Finally worth a mention is
one of the few films to survive the dismal
summer, "Harry Potter and the Order of
the Phoenix".
Upon reflecting on the movies of the
year 2007, the first thing I think of is this
dismal array of summer movies. The

pursuit of profits led to an incredible
amount of sequels, which included
"Spiderman 3", "Fantastic 4: The Rise
of the Silver Surfer", "Shrek 3", and
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's
End", which were all unnecessary movies
meant to sucker the consumer. Earlier in
the year, as well, film goers were 'graced'
with such works as "Norbit", "The
Invisible", "Ghostrider", "TMNT", and
"Next". The year rounded out with more
lackluster pieces such as "Balls of Fury",
"Beowulf', "Alvin and the Chipmunks",
"War", "Awake",
and "Good Luck Chuck". The latter
two films and the sequel to "Fantastic 4 "
have proven that Jessica Alba's talents
are limited to winking, and thus won her
'Worst Female Actor of the Year'. As for
her male counter part it would be Nicholas
Cage for "Next", "National Treasure:
Book of Secrets", and "Ghostrider".
Next to consider, there are a few more
bad movies to name, however these are
a special few. These are the movies
that became really popular, but were
truly not that good. One of these films
is "Transformers". It is not a popular
thing to say, but this movie is riddled

with problems. Michael Bay should go
back to music videos as this movie was
shameful. The only reason it was popular
is because of Optimus Prime, and his
crew. Everything was low quality from
the acting to the story and especially
the dialogue. The CGI was not even
that good. A similar movie would be
"Dragon Wars", which was the same
premise as "Transformers", only it was
not popular because it did not have a
popular toy line and TV show behind
it. Quickly I would like to include "The
directors, this year would have belonged
entirely elsewhere in the world of <?inema.
Previously mentioned was "Zodiac" which
would have been the best US film of the
year if it were not for the Coen Brothers.
"No Country For Old Men", which is a
brilliant film that everyone should see. It
is easily the Coens' best, which is saying
a lot. The acting, storyline, and tension
are incredible. It is without a doubt going
to be in the top ten of the 2000's with
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind",
"Lord of the Rings", and "The Departed".
But the world
of cinema is not
limited to what
is put out by the
US. Also from
2007 came the
brilliant German
film "The Lives
of Others" and
the Danish film
by Susanne
Bier, "After the

Marin Brewing Company
brews Raspberry Trail Ale
in Larkspur, California. The
brewery opened in April of
1989. Brendan Moylan acts
as the general partner for the
brewery. The brewery only
uses natural ingredients in
their products. Furthermore,
the brewery focuses on
making unique and diverse
tasting beers than those of
the more common domestic
breweries.
Raspberry Trail Ale won
two awards. The ale won gold
in the California State Fair in
2005 and gold in the Best of
the West in 2002.
The dark brown glass
bottle holds 22 fluid ounces
with an alcohol by volume of
5%. Six ingredients comprise
the award winning ate. The
six ingredients are barley,
malt, yeast, water, and natural
raspberry flavoring. The bottle
has a large label containing
the company's logo of a swan
on a lake. An array of purple
and magenta hues comprises
the label. A black bottle cap
stamped with the yellow
words California Brewed seals
the ale.
The ale pours soft with
a half-inch thick head that
disappears relatively quickly.
The amber colored ale has
an almost foggy tinting. The
ale enters the mouth with
a rapid surge of flavor that
lingers on the tongue for
several seconds. After the ale
has disappeared a sugary
film develops in the mouth
causing the lips to smack
in demand for more. The
brewery recommends serving
the ale in a glass as to
release some of the flavoring.
Raspberries alone are
great tasting, but they are
even better when used to
flavor ale. Take a stroll
to BevMo this week and
check out this week's ale
for a delicious fruit inspired
delicacy.

BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride S taff Writer
Street performers at heart and
gentlemen by nature, Jay, Lou,
and Mickey Smart (a.k.a. The
Smart Brothers) are unraveling the
heartstrings of local music critics
and enthusiasts alike with their old
Hollywood jazz and Americana folk
style. With dozens of instruments,
such as ukuleles, soprano guitars, a jaw
harp, slide whistle, castanets and an
accordion—just to name a few—The
Smart Brothers are well versed in
love and harmony. Painting a picture
under the stars with nothing but
their beautiful melodies and flawless
instrumental synchronization, the sound
of The Smart Brothers is lush, rich, and
soulful.
How did The Smart Brothers come
t o collect so many instruments? Jay
Smart, the proud player of the suitcase,
which doubles as a bass drum, said,
"the funny thing is that they each
have very strange stories behind them.
For instance, we were in a pawnshop
one time in the South and there was
this octave mandolin there. Well, Lou
walked in and said, 'I have to have
that octave mandolin.' Of course we
couldn't afford it, but we went back
home, dug up these old sheepskin
drums and other weird things, traded it
all in, and got the octave mandolin."
At a young age, Jay and Lou Smart
garnered an appreciation for music

for instruments, but also through the

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

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

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

Pride Staff Writer
When Oakland company, Ask.
com opened for business in 1996,
its creators, Garret Gruener and
David Warthen set out to put a
user-friendly spin on the then fertile search-engine market.
Known as 'Ask Jeeves' up
until early 2006, the engine was
famous for encouraging users
to pose questions to a fictitious
butler, or self-proclaimed, "gentleman's personal gentleman."
The concept caught on quickly,
but was soon swept under the rug
by the simplicity of engines such
as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
10 years and $227 million
later, Ask.com is poised to regain
the popularity that it once held.
Dropping the notion of asking a
question, Ask.com has rolled out
unprecedented features that allow
users to get the absolute most out
of searches.
Users can chose from eight
front page sub-features, including:
Web, Images, City, News, Blogs,
Video, Maps & Directions, and
Shopping. Users can also chose.
from different skins to customize
the Ask.com experience.
Se^rch.results are processed into
a three column design that offers
users the most complete search
on one page. In the right column,
Ask.com offers ways to "Narrow
Your Search" and "Expand Your
Search." The right column also
contains "Related names" and
the ability to go into an advanced
search.
The middle column contains
the typical results that any search
engine would contain, however,
if a search contains a personality
(celebrity, athlete, ect.), the results
include a special feature including
a short biography, and other helpful links. If a user is searching
for a city, a map of the given city
appears at the top of the middle
column, along with links for Jobs,
Current Weather, and Seasonal
Climate.
The right column is the most
useful and robust feature of Ask.
com. The column includes an
images preview, Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, and a videos preview. If searching for a city, in
addition to the aforementioned
categories, users can see the
city's current time and date, and
the current weather, with a link to
a detailed forecast. If the search
result has current news around
it, links to news stories are also
included in the right column. A

There is nothing like a new brew to start
a new semester.
Boon Rawd Brewery brews Singha
in Bangkok, Thailand. Boonrawd Srethabutra founded the brewery in 1933 and
produced Singha making it the first lager
manufactured in Thailand. The brewery
began exporting globally
in the 1970s and now
9 M H B offers their products to
ft J H more than 40 countries.
The-dark brown glass
fip m bottle contains 21.3 fluid
ounces with an alcoHK

light version of the lager
offers a timid 3.5%
ABV.
The bottle has

white label with primarily a glossy gold
color filling in the lettering. The label
depicts an ancient beast of some nature
that appears to be a combination of both a
dragon and a tiger. The bottle has an elegant white foil wrapping similar to champagne bottles Ground the neck and bottle
cap. Lastly, a white bôttlé cap seals the
lager containing the same ancient beast
and brewery name in red lettering.
The heavily carbonated lager pours
with a one inch thick white head that disappears almost as quickly as it formed.
The lager has a pleasant, almost sweet
aroma and glistens in a light, golden
amber hue. As the lager rests in the beer
mug the carbonation rises endlessly to
the top.
The first phase of the sip allows a mild
soothing lager to enter the mouth. A slight
prickle of the tongue forms and then transcends into a Chuck Norris roundhouse
f kick to the taste buds as a bolder flavor
washes over all areas of the mouth.
The lager descends into the
H k abyss of the stomach and
leaves a lingering bitter
residue. Naturally, the lager
pairs exquisitely with Thai

President Haynes hosts second

President's B oardroom
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
With news of the parking fee
increases to the Cal State San
Marcos campus, students met
with President Karen Haynes,
bringing along signed petitions
and increased frustration to the
semester's second open forum on
Wed. Nov. 28 in the President's
Boardroom.
"Most of us are here for the
parking issue." Said student
Amethyst Hills. "Why don't we
have private or public funding
for the parking structure?"
AccordingtoPresidentHaynes,
the state does not pay for parking facilities, student unions or
athletic fees. Therefore, the only
way those services are covered is
through student fee increases.
In regards to funding from
donors, President Haynes stated,
"It's not highly likely that a donor
wants to build a parking lot.
Donors want to build academic
buildings or make enhancements
like they did for Markstein Hall.
But parking facilities is generally what the public donors or
philanthropists see as something
that we need to fund through our
own mechanisms by the users of
the facilities."
One concern for students was
where the increased fees would
go and whether or not current
students would see the effects
of the increase in the structures
planned in the near future.
"What we've done from the
beginning and what we continue
to do is some of that money that
you and staff and faculty pay in
parking fees goes to the actual
maintenance of parking structures now and some of it is put
away in an account that can't
be touched for anything but the
next parking lot or fees for a new

"It's ridiculous the amount of
money we have to pay." Castaño
added.
President Haynes cited two
simple reasons behind the $90
fee increase; the campus is growing and construction costs are
higher. She explained that while
the excitement of a new campus
and the new technology it has
to offer is something that draws
in admittance, "the downside is
some of these other campuses
built their parking lots twenty
years ago. They're not continuing to build parking so they don't
have to bank on it and they're not
building parking lots at today's
construction costs which are dramatically higher than even when
I came here four years ago."

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

Homeless in
San Marcos
BY JESSICA SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
Students may not be aware of the growing
number of homeless people that surround San
Marcos. According to the Regional Task Force
on the Homeless, there were a total of 12 homeless people counted in San Marcos in 2006. They
were found behind Palomar College, Mission Rd,
Bradley Park, San Marcos Blvd, and Town Center.
Outside of the city limits in Escondido where the
population is 140,766, 894 homeless people reside.
One problem that revolves around this issue is
the minimal amount of homeless shelters. The
Regional Task Force on the Homeless mentions
that there are no homeless facilities in San Marcos.
The only assistance available to these people
comes from social service agencies that provide
care to them.
So who exactly are the homeless? According to
the National Coalition for the Homeless, out of the
3.5 million people estimated to experience homelessness, 39 percent are children Families make
up nearly 33 percent of the homeless. In 2004 the
homeless population consisted of 49 percent A frican Americans, 35 percent Caucasians, 13 percent
Hispanics, 2 percent Native Americans, and 1 percent Asians. Most people that experience homelessness are victims of domestic violence, drug
addicts, people with mental illness, and war veterans.
Students interested in helping can volunteer at
nearby homeless shelters like Interfaith in Escondido and Brother Bennos in Oceanside. Students
can also donate money and food to these shelters.
The North County Food Bank, located in San
Marcos, is especially needy. The North County
Times recently reported that food banks are worried about whether they will have enough food to
distribute to the homeless after the holidays. This
shortage was caused in part by the recent fires that
devastated our county.

Cromartie, Tomlinson
guide Chargers to win
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
The Chargers came into Sunday's game
in Kansas Gity, fresh off of a huge 34-14
win over Baltimore at home last week.
The Chargers looked to carry that
momentum into Arrowhead Stadium,
where they took on the Chiefs in a heated
AFC West contest.
Defense got the job done on Sunday, and
thanks to a pair of interceptions by rising
star, Antonio Cromartie, the Chargers got
a much needed win; 24-10..
These two teams faced off on September 30, resulting in a 30-16 Chargers loss.
The Chiefs put the first points on the
board on Sunday, thanks to a 38-yard John
Carney field goal.
The Chargers answered back with a
25-yard Nate Kaeding field goal at the
5:25 mark in the first quarter.
Chargers quarterback, Philip Rivers
showed some weakness early on, throwing an interception to Kansas City cornerback, Ty Law.
Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie intercepted Kansas City quarterback, Damon Huard for 28-yards, on the
following possession.
The score remained at 3-3 up until the
5:23 mark in the second quarter Huard put
the Chiefs up by a touchdown on two-yard
pass to Jared Allen.
Philip rivers displayed his air game,
passing 38-yards to meet wide receiver,
Vincent Jackson in the end zone for an
impressive touchdown that tied the game
up at 10-10.
The score would remain the same
going into the halftime, only for LaDainian Tomlinson pick things up in early
in the third, rushing for 31-yards and a
touchdown.
Tomlinson struck again, this time, early
in the fourth quarter, with another long
run for a touchdown. The touchdown
was Tomlinson's 111th in his career, passing the legendary Walter Payton for third
place on the all-time rushing touchdowns
list.
Antonio Cromartie intercepted yet
another pass, this time, with three minutes
left in the fourth quarter. Cromarte leads
the league in interceptions, with eight.
Cromartie's interception sealed the
game at 24-10, but it was Tomlinson's
achievements that took over the post-game
interviews.
On passing Walter Payton on the alltime rushing touchdowns list, Tomlinson
said "It's definitely an honor just to be
mentioned in the same breath with, in my
opinion, the greatest running back that
has ever played the game."
The Chargers appear to be running
away with first place in the AFC West
with a record of 7-5. The Denver Broncos
are in second place with a 5-6 record.
The Chargers go into Tennessee next
Sunday to take on the 7-5 Titans at 10:00
a.m. on CBS.

�Spread a little cheer this
December, and all year
Donations accepted for many charities throughout the year
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
In the spirit of the season, the
phrase 'it is better to give than
to receive' takes on a whole new
meaning. All around the county
and the rest of the nation, various organizations and charities
set up fundraisers and donations
to make sure everyone receives a
little holiday cheer.
On campus, ASI is hosting a toy drive with the
national charity foundation, Toys for Tots until
Friday Dec. 7. All toys
must be new and in their
original packaging. Anyone
with donations can drop off
the toys at the ASI Business
office, Recreation Center, or
UVA Lobby. For more information, contact Jamie Inarda
at inard001@csusm.edu.
The Southern California
wildfires in October left thousands without homes for the holidays. The American Red Cross is
accepting donations to help aid
fire victims. For information on
stations in the area, visit www.
redcross.org.
The Native American Alliance
for Emergency Preparedness is
also looking for donations to help
assist families of the eleven tribes
in San Diego affected by the
wildfires. In addition to damage
of homes and land, the fires from
the La Jolla reservation melted
away the water lines, severely
damaging their water source.
To offer donations through the
Native American Environmental
Protection Coalition, visit www.
naepc.org.
The San Diego Foundation is
currently seeking donations for
their 'After the Fires Fund 2007'
campaign. Their website offers
donors the opportunity to select
from
which
specific
would prefer to donate to. Visit
www.sdfoundation.org/fire2007/
for more information.
Father Joe's Villages in San
Diego is an organization that
helps the homeless. People can
help out by making cash donations, donate clothing, appliances,
furniture, personal hygiene products and other dry goods, food
donations, vehicle donations and
through volunteer work. The best
way for students to volunteer is
by helping serve meals. For infor-
mation on how to help, contact
www.fatherjoesvillages.org.
Being away from loved ones
during the holidays is especially
tough. Operation Homefront is a
non-profit organization designed
to provide emergency assistance
and help increase moral to United
States troops and their families.
Anyone interested can visit www.
o perationhomefront.net.
Operation Homefront

All of these organizations and charities are available year round but if the urge to
give strikes during this time of
year, it may be best to act now.
These examples are just few of
the hundreds of thousands available. Local churches and schools
are also great places to contact to
help out families and children.
Whether its buying an inexpensive gift at Wal-Mart or picking
out canned food from the pantry,
no effort will go unappreciated.

Apple unveils their new cat with big claws
Attention M ac users - that rejoicing you hear is the familiar s ound of sweet bliss
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
The nation was graced recently
when OS X vl0.5 Leopard went
on sale at all retailers.
Apple is determined to revolutionize the interface of their
existing platform and throw it
into overdrive.
This was the first major update
to their existing OS in more than
two years, which in Apple's lifetime is considered two years too
long. OS X 10.4, or Tiger, came
across as everything people
wanted in an operating system
with useful applications like
Spotlight, Dashboard and VoiceOver.
Packed with more than 300
new and improved features over
Tiger, Leopard is available at a
price point starting at a modest
$129. New Macs bought a fter
October requires an additional
$9.95 to have Leopard installed.
Minimum requirements to r un
the new system are 867 MHz
G4 or G5 system with an Intel
processor and 512 MB of RAM
with at least 9 GB of storage. A
DVD reader or burner is also
required.
Among the major features
users will encounter almost
immediately
include
Time
Machine, which backs up files
after they've been modified. It
checks every hour for files that
have been modified and copies
them to the hard drive. That
being said, it would be a good
idea to think about purchasing
an external hard drive as well.
Screen Sharing allows remote
access to your computer and vice
versa through another via iChat.
Leopard utilizes progressive
rendering to recreate desktops
so that if you're slowed down by
a long connection, the process
doesn't happen pixel by pixel.
This enables people to share
photos or music or anything else
with friends without having to
share an entire hard drive.
The Finder has a glossy new
facelift as well. Some features
now share similarities to the
UI in iTunes 7, which includes
Cover Flow. The Dock sports a
nice reflective shelf for applications to reside to incorporate a
stacked view of icons in both a
fanned and a grid arrangement.
Even Spotlight, which first
introduced on Tiger, has received
a very substantial upgrade.
Users can now search across
multiple computers on the same
network - u seful for those with a
laptop and desktop, or for homes

therefore we aren't going to give them a

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

move to
freeze
tuition
increase
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The decades long trend of
unbridled tuition increases in
the California State University
and University of California
may soon come to a halt. Over
the past five years, tuition has
increased in the CSU and UC
system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively.
For lower, working, and now
even middle class California
students, a college education is
quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced
out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement
could change all of that.
California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing
the first-ever student-led ballot
initiative to freeze tuition in the
CSU and UC systems. If passed,
the initiative would suppress
any further tuition increases for
the next five years and would
not permit subsequent tuition
increases to surpass the rate of
inflation.

Student fees slated to increase in near future

On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board
of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary
draft of a state budget request
for the 2008/09 CSU academic
year.
During the brief plenary
meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees
implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state
audit issues on CSU executive
compensation. The temporary
committee will report to the
Trustees during their Jan. 22-23
meeting in Long Beach.
The Trustees also established
a budget request asking Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger for
state funding for the 2008/09
school year. The governor will
announce his proposed budget
for the state of California by
Jan. 10. The budget request also
called for another 10 percent

organizations that would have a
vested interest in this campaign,"
said Rosales.
Although the group has made
an effort to reach out to the UC
and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a
position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the
matter.
"I think once this initiative is
filed, it will start to shake out...
where people place themselves in
support of the initiative and then
what they put towards it in terms
of volunteers and resources.
While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that
there is also a "corollary benefit"
offered by the initiative. Anyone
who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter,
a challenge that the group will
meet by offering on-the-spot voter
registration. As a result, Vaeth
claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young
voters.

initiatives, applied research in

assessment to meet the requirements of SB1209, and expanding
enrollment in CSU nursing programs.
Under the Higher Education
Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent,
which translates to approximately
445,000 students. However, CSU
is expecting an additional 4,000
students in the 2008/09 year. So
far, those 4,000 students are not
funded in the budget, spelling
out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional
funding from the state.
The budget also calls for a three
percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff
as well as a 2.83 percent increase
($86 million) to address faculty
and staff salary lags. According
to the California Postsecondary
Education Commission, the CSU
faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent.
"This budget request positions
the CSU to maintaining access
and academic quality," said CSU
Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We
are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue
to avoid an increase in student
fees, and support compensation
increases that will help the system
make progress toward its goal of
paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

THE PRIDE
Chargers lose in Jacksonville,
remain in first place
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
The Chargers came into Sunday's
contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars
looking to capitalize on their momentum a fter a huge victory over one of
the league's best teams. Last Sunday,
despite having a horrific second half, the
Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1
Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy
night at Qualcomm.
The Chargers fortunes were not the
same on Sunday, as they traveled to the
east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams.
Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard
started his first game in nearly a month,
after coming back from a high ankle
sprain suffered in their October 22nd game
against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the
home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes
for 189 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars put up the first points of
the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee
field goal.
Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed
for a one-yard touchdown.
The Chargers scored their first points at

the ten minute point in the second quarter,
on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal.
Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie
Brown through the middle for a 36-yard
touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to
17-3 at halftime.
LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six
yards to the right for a touchdown at the
beginning of third quarter, bringing the
Chargers within seven points, only for
Jacksonville to strike again, this time on
a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass.
The Chargers got their only passing
touchdown with five minutes left in the
fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to
Antonio Gates through the middle for 24
yards.
Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting
in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers
off track, and leaving them questioning
their future in the playoffs.
The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the
season.
The loss brings the Chargers to a record
of 5-5, however, they still remain in first
place in the AFC West.
The Chargers come back home next
Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens
at 1:15 p.m. on CBS.

Online Chistmas shopping a SQlution for those who detest crowded malls
BY TIM MOORE

With the holiday season right
around the corner, more and
more shoppers are avoiding the
headaches, stress and hassle of
traditional shopping—and t urning to the web to make purchases.
O nline sales t his holiday
s eason are expected to total
between $45 billion to $50 billion, t his is a considerable
increase in sales f rom 2006, in
which totals reached $34 billion.
The holiday shopping season
spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day.
Shoppers are d rawn to online
shopping mainly through the
benefits of f ree shipping and
the ability to locate the cheapest
price on an item in a relatively
short amount of time.
Among the f rontrunners f or
this holiday season's shopping
websites are eBay.com, A mazon,
com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com.
One of the most recognizable
names on the internet is eBay.
Since its inception in 1995, eBay,
com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits,
eBay is unique to many of the
other e -commerce sites, d ueto its
use of online auctions that amass
the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that
the basis is for their service is to
serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather
than directly selling products.
Founded in 1994, Amazon,
com was one of the first companies to sell goods on the web.

security. A mazon began as an
online bookstore, and has since
evolved to f eature a nything f rom

Overstock sells s urplus, u sed

" your o nline outlet." Overstock's new items have b een
said to set p rice s tandards, and
are t ypically t he c heapest of any

Shopzilla.com is one of the
most u seful tools when it comes

Shopzilla, formerly BizRate,

to "enable shoppers to quickly

Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate
Professor of Music, the two
ensembles are looking to fill

"We want to get as many
musicians to come out and

Dr. Imara. However, he
also maintained, " "we want
musicians who do have some
experience."
With the Jazz ensemble in
particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz],
but we do want people who
can read music as well."
Like any music group,
interested candidates must

ensemble. Dr. Imara also
noted, "it is a competitive

While the group does
demand a solid musical
background, they are also
looking to embrace a diverse
instrumental arrangement.
"We're looking for all
instrumental musicians. It
doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can

can b e any k ind of orchestral

According to Dr. Imara,
they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools,
churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego.
Students can also look forward to seeing the two
ensembles playing in and

November is Native
American Month
CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where
students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s
activities throughout the year that celebrate
and honor Natives in our community.
As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to
educate students about Native culture and
facilitate leadership opportunities for Native
American students. The AISA is involved
in cultural events and conferences at high
schools and colleges within the community.
AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances
and organizes fundraisers for Native and
non-native communities.
The purpose statement for AISA is to
"increase awareness and acceptance of
American Indian Culture and to promote the
educational experience of American Indians
on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the
classroom."
AISA provides spiritual leadership and
spiritual events for Natives on campus.
They have both a male and female spiritual
advisor that students are welcome to contact
for guidance.
Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from
Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear-
lier this year and the AISA would like
to provide a plaque to signify the name
change.
In cooperation with the Tribal task
force, AISA is accepting donations of
household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent
fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma
Casino.
People who are interested in making
cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at
mccra009@csusm.edu to make their
donations. Check out the AISA's web
site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more
information on activities throughout the
year to get involved in.
The AISA is participating in are a
sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in
Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony
to "honor the long night's sleep of the
bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and
the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are
encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local
children.
AISA will be joining in a drum circle
in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many
opportunities for students who would
like to understand more about their own
native culture or become knowledgeable
of Native culture.

count of obstruction of justice and
four counts of perjury based on 19

The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying

The Bank credits Mexican food
as an Old Town favorite
BY JACKIE CARBA JAL
Pride Staff Writer
Choosing the right dining
locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood
for traditional Mexican food and
are looking for a little history
with your meal, look no further
than The Bank of Mexican Food
in Temecula.
Don't let the name fool
you. This doesn't involve the
exchange of chimichangas for
burritos and food, albeit good
food, is not considered currency
in Temecula.
The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep
in the heart of Temecula's Old
Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served
originally as The First National
Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in
1930, closure during WWII, and
a short run as an antique shop,
The Bank was refurbished into
a Mexican style restaurant in
1978.
Priding itself as the second
oldest restaurant in Temecula,
the newly remodeled eatery still
maintains t he ambiance of the
Old West.
Guests receive nothing short
of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled
doorway of the quaint building
with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a
warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only
other Old Town buildings, but
also a fountain waterfall.
Upon seating, the server will
bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be,
take caution in filling up on this
complimentary appetizer.
Meals range in price from
$3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu
offers combination platters of
up to three traditional Mexican
entrees for $8.95.
If you consider ordering the
El Banco burrito, I suggest
requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in
your burrito. The carne asada
burrito is a great choice. If you
prefer your burritos packed with
goodness, make sure you fill it

up with the beans and rice that
come with the plate.
Drinks offered include Old
Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each
entrée comes with rice and
beans and select entrees include
The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature
tortilla shell.
The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining
in the exclusive bank vault-will
stay with you long after the
fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit
your chip and salsa intake and
keep your combination plate to
a minimum, you may still have
room for one of the three dessert
options offered.
Aside from the choices of flan
and deep fried ice cream, the
$2.25 churro definitely takes the
cake(so to speak). Filled inside
with custard and served with
whipped cream, The Bank's
churro is a far cry from your
typical amusement park treat.
With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop
there. Old Town Street itself
boasts numerous attractions
such as old time photography,
live entertainment, and nearby
wineries.
On weekends, The Bank
offers an alluring breakfast
menu with some entrees served
all day. For a dining experience
that matches food quality, The
Bank proves to be the perfect
investment.

Kona Brewing Company
brews Pipeline Porter in Kona,
Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy
and son Spoon Khalsa founded
the brewery in spring of 1994.
The brewery has three main
brews: Big Wave Golden Ale;
Longboard Islander Lager; and
Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery
brews other specialty beers and
limited edition releases, such
as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but
also sells to other regions in the
United States, Japan, and China.
The brewery also operates two
pubs.
Kona released their limited
e dition Pipeline
Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona
Coffee comprises the porter
along with chocolate and caramel
malts. The porter won a silver
medal under the "Other Beer"
category in this year's Australian
International Beer Awards.
The porter's label contains a
surfer with a longboard making
his way to the ocean to ride some
pipelines. Dark brown, light blue
and dark orange comprise the
colors utilized for the scene. The
porter's orange bottle cap caps a
beer with an alcohol by volume of
5.4%.
The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally,
coffee aroma dominates the lovely
scent rising from the glass. The
porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth
calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves
of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of
the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving
the mouth, tongue, and taste
buds in state of comatose. The
brewery recommends paring
the porter with hearty soups
and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and
mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day.
Skip
Starbucks
on
Thanksgiving and stroll
over to Beverages and
More for a delicious coffee
flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and
coffee flavors clearly make
this brew the best beer of
the week for this semester
thus far. Hipahipa!

The recent debate over the Cal
State University executive compensation controversy received
its first official governmental
examination on Nov. 9, 2007. The
California Bureau of State Audits
weighed in last week, releasing its
findings of an audit on the executive compensation practices of the
CSU.
The report, titled California State University: It Needs
to Strengthen Its Oversight and
Establish Stricter Policies for
Compensating
Current
and
Former Employees, comes at the
request of the Assembly Speaker
Fabian Nufiez, Assemblyman
Anthony Portantino, State Senator Leland Yee, and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. At
a weighty 115 pages, the audit
reveals various "questionable"
practices in CSU executive compensation policy.

Hopes for a "Colbert
Nation" come to an end
Short-lived presidential campaign ends
for talk show host Stephen Colbert
BY BILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The Robin Williams film
"Man of the Year" has become
very relevant the past weeks
as television star and political
know-it-all Stephan Colbert officially tried to run for president.
Though it was a running joke
that he and Jon Stewart would
run for the presidency, there
was no seriousness in this idea.
That is, until Oct.16, when Colbert announced he would run
for president on the Democratic
ballot in South Carolina.
A few weeks later, the South
Carolina Democratic Executive
Council rejected his candidacy
in a 13-3 vote. Given the nature
of his show on Comedy Central,
The Colbert Report, many felt
he would not be a serious candidate.
"The general sense of the
council was that he wasn't a
serious candidate and that was
why he wasn't selected to be
on the ballot," said Joe Werner,
director of the S.C. Democratic
Party.
Colbert's brief candidacy
raises important questions as to
whether or not someone with no
official government experience
could become president. His
candidacy has also drawn comparisons to both Ronald Reagan
and Arnold Schwarzenegger,
both actors turned government
leaders.
In less than a month the
"1,000,000 Strong for Stephan T
Colbert" Facebook group gained
almost 1.5 million members,
and continues to grow. But, he
certainly has had more appeal
to the youth of the country than
other possible candidates. This
has not gained just the interest
of the online community, but

directed at regulating the very
practices addressed in the report.
Senator Yee's SB 190 passed
through Governor Schwarzenegger's office with a signature of
approval last month, requiring
all executive compensation packages to be voted in open session.
On Nov. 12, the California
Faculty Association released
its analysis of the findings in a
report titled, Weak Oversight
& Poor CSU Policies Favor
Executive Perks: An analysis of
the state audit of CSU compensation policies and practices.
CFA President Lillian Taiz cites
a "large expenditure of foundation funds to further compensate
already well-paid executives" as
yet another faulty executive compensation practice.
Despite these proclamations,
CSU officials rendered a much
more optimistic analysis of the
findings of the audit.
In a message to all CSU employees issued Nov. 6, Chancellor
Reed maintains "the findings
show that no policies were violated, and concludes that none of
the actions taken by the CSU were
inappropriate." According to the
Chancellor, "the CSU is open to
having audits because I believe
that audits give us the opportunity
to examine our policies and our
processes and improve them.
The CSU's official response to
the report states, "the CSU agrees
in nearly all cases with the auditor's recommendations."
* The marked polarity of these
responses suggests the debate
over executive compensation
practices in the CSU system will
endure for some time to come.
Given criticism of growing
executive salaries amidst gaping
budget shortfalls, this issue could
very well prove to be a point of
contention at the upcoming CSU
Board of Trustees Meeting.
The Trustees will meet this
week to discuss and vote on the
CSU's budget request. Among
their considerations, the Trustees
will be forced to reckon with Governor Schwarzenegger's recent
warning that the State budget
shortfall will increase by $2 billion. He also cautioned all State
departments to anticipate budget
cuts upwards of 10 percent.
Although CSU indicated they
"will be acting on some recommendations immediately and on
the others as soon as feasible,"
the meeting schedule released on
the CSU website does not indicate the Trustees will address the
findings and recommendations
of the audit report at the meeting
this week. However, the Trustees
have made official plans to discuss the matter when they meet
again in January.
sen poll placed Colbert ahead of
Republican candidate Ron Paul
and Democratic candidate Dennis
Kucinich. A similar poll placing
Colbert against Rudy Guiliani
and Hillary Clinton showed Colbert at 12% support, mainly in the
18-29 age bracket. It started as a
joke, but it was serious enough for
South Carolina to take action.
Though not made public,
another reason against letting
him run is the fact that, should
he win, it would take away elec-
toral votes from other candidates.
This would be similar to the situation in pre-civil war times when
Republican Abraham Lincoln
won as president because the
Democrats were split between
their north and south candidates.

Armistice between the allied nations of
Germany had marked the end of "The

of the struggles our men and women are
facing, both at home and abroad. With
Camp Pendleton—one of the largest military bases in the United States—just west
of campus, the population of military personnel and their families at the university
is strikingly high.
CSUSM Psychology major Bianca Reynoso said she finds her husband's deployments hard to deal with, especially on top
of having to deal with the stress of being
a student. She said she has been through
four deployments—three of which have
been to Iraq and one to Korea, and
insisted it is important to see the holiday
as more than just a day off from school
and work.
"They sacrifice a lot," she said. "In
other countries it is mandatory to be in
the military, but here it is optional."
Reynoso said that when her husband,
a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is
deployed it just adds to her stress because
"When he's gone I'm all alone, there is no
one to come home to, not to vent to about
my day," she said.
While CSUSM offers services for veterans at Craven Hall where Vets can come
for assistance with GI Bills and various
application processes, Reynoso said she
wished there was some sort of support
group for the families of those who have
someone fighting overseas.
"It would be cool if they had a group of
spouses," she said. "That way when your
husband is gone you can find support
from other people who are going through
the same thing."
November is Native American Month.
American Indian Student Alliance's
CSUSM chapter is hosting several events
to honor the occasion.
Several Speakers have been arranged
to speak on Native American culture.
Speakers include Earl Sisto and Mel
Vernon. Earl Sisto's discussion will focus
on urban and reservation life for Native
Americans at noon in the Forum Plaza.
Mel Vernon will be speaking on protecting and preserving Native American culture on Nov. 27.
Movies, produced by natives such as
"Smoke Signals, In the Light of Reverence," and "We are Still Here" are showing throughout the month. The two-time
Sundance award winning movie "Smoke
Signals" is playing at 4 p.m. in Markstein
Hall.
"In the Light of Reverence," afilmillustrating the struggles of Natives to preserve sacred rights is showing in Clarke
131 at 6 p.m.
"We are Still Here," a film exploring
the Cahuilla Natives from Southern California is playing in Arts 240 at 4 p.m. A
discussion panel will follow the viewing
of "In the Light of Reverence and We are
Still Here."
A basket weaving demonstration hosted
by Yvonne Trottier, will be held on Nov.
15 and the Texcatlipoca Dancers are performing on Nov. 29 at noon in the Forum
Plaza.
Claudia McCrane, president of the
AISA, said the purposes of these events
are to "honor Native American culture
and tradition as well as giving students an
opportunity to learn about their origins
and ancestry."
AISA is working together with the
Tribal Task force to help native families
who have been affected by the recent fires.
They are putting together a drive for food,
blankets, clothes, and bedding. In addition, AISA and the Tribal Task force will
provide a dinner for the 29 La Jolla families who lost their homes in the fires.
For students who are interested in getting involved throughout the year look at
AISA's web site: www.csusm.edu/aisa/

iPhone Killer? The Googleverse is about to get a whole lot bigger
BY ELBERT'ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Apparently Google has borrowed a step
Microsoft - conquering the Internet just
wasn't enough for them.
Though there is not an actual, physical phone as of yet, the confirmation of
Google's step into the mobile market has
been met with both immense anticipation
and speculation. The hope is that consumers utilize their software to add new appli-
cations and upgrades to already existing
phones and future smartphones beginning
sometime next year.
Some of the early feedback on the project has already dubbed it the iPhone killer
because of Google's almost limitless innovations in software design and advancement.
"You will be able to do amazing things
with your mobile device that you had never
thought of before,", said Google Chief
Executive Eric Schmidt.
"This announcement is more ambitious
than any single Google Phone that the
press has been speculating about over the
past few weeks. Our vision is that the powerful p latform w e're u nveiling w ill p ower
thousands of different phone models."
Among the companies that have thrown
their support include some of the big
mobile companies like LG Electronics,
Samsung, and Motorola. If these companies decide to implement the Google software, then that would get rid of the Windows Mobile Media which they have paid
to use. Google's platform would be free.
This platform is being tentatively called
Android and hardware and software support from over 30 companies. Qualcomm
Inc., the local telecommunications devel-
In today 's technology
oper based out of Sorrento Valley, is also
included.
Local providers Verizon, T-Mobile and
Sprint-Nextel also are building upon negotiations with Google to use their services
with their phones, a contrast to the exclusive contract that AT&T Wireless and
Apple has had to market their iPhone.
As the anticipation continues to build,
there has also been a share of detractors
who are also eager to call it a failure before
it even hits the market.
"When all is said and done, Google is
actually not a charismatic company that
can make this new platform happen in a
big way," commented John C. Dvorak, a
PC Magazine writer.
"The most successful [phone] looks to
be the iPhone, but much of that enthusiasm has to do with the mystique of Apple
and the promotion of the phone's "uniqueness." And the phone is indeed unique."
With already 3 billion cell phones out in
the market, such diversity could also open
new doors for Google as they want people
to use phones as easy as their other software. The first phone should be out sometime in the middle of 2008.

In October of 2004, the entrepreneurial spirit of then technology television personality, Kevin Rose, combined
with the creative minds of Owen Byrne,
Ron Gorodetzky, and Jay
Adelson came together
to form what would soon
become the web's top
community-based social
news website.
Digg.com
combines
aspects of social bookmarking, blogging, and
syndication to create one
of the best sources of
news on the web; for the
people, by the people.
The premise of Digg,
is that after users submit
links to news stories, the
stories are voted on (dugg)
by other users for content, relevance, and
interest. If a story receives enough votes,
it will be displayed on the front page of
the site. This method offers a variation
from the standard editorial system of
major news websites.
Digg categorizes submissions under a
number of categories, all of which include
sub-categores that delve deeper into the
specifics of an article.
The Main categories include: News,
Technplogy, Science, World and Business, Sports, Entertainment, and Gaming.
There fare also sections for Videos and
Podcast^.
¿ D iggcovers a hugely
broad range of headlines,
from "Linux wins Nigerian school desktops back
from Microsoft" to "Mark
Wahlberg will star in Max
Payne movie!"
Digg has been subject to a number of complaints, mainly centered
around the idea that the
users have too much control over content, thus
harvesting potential misinformation.
In early May, Digg
came under fire after a user posted an
encryption key for cracking the HD DVD
and Blu-ray formats. Digg took action on
the advice of lawyers and took down the
story. The Digg community revolted after
what was the site's first major sign of editorial, censorship, and banded together to
include the encryption key in
numerous front page submissions and comments.
The actions of the users
prompted this statement
from digg founder Kevin
Rose: "After seeing hundreds of stories
and reading thousands of comments,
you've made it clear. You'd rather see
Digg go down fighting than
bow down to a bigger company."
Digg takes out the
middle man and allows the
readers themselves to decide
what is interesting. Digg.com is revolutionizing the way news is delivered, read,
and perceived.

Chargers move intofirstplace with big win over Colts
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
The Chargers came into Sunday
night's game with a record of 4-4,
looking to capitalize on the Indianapolis Colts loss of momentum.
The Colts received their first loss
of the season in week nine against
the New England Patriots, in the
most highly touted game of the
season.
The Chargers struck quick and
held the lead, relying on their
superb pass protection, in front of
a packed and soggy Qualcomm
Stadium.
The Chargers came right out of
the gate with a bang, as Darren
Sproles returned the opening
kickoff for 89 yards and a touchdown.
Seven plays into the ensuing
Colts possession, Quarterback
Peyton Manning threw an interception to Chargers cornerback,
Antonio Cromartie.
Cromarte has made a name for
himself in the past four weeks,
intercepting six passes; three of
which were in Sunday night's
game.
Just under three minutes later
another Manning pass was intercepted, this time by linebacker,
Shaun Phillips.
Chargers kicker, Nate Kaeding nailed a 33-yard field goal at
the 7:14 mark in the first quarter,
bringing the Chargers lead to
1 0-0.
After a three-and-out drive
by Indianapolis, Darren Sproles
returned yet another kick or a
touchdown, this time a punt for
4 5 y ards.
Later in the first, yet another
Manning pass was intercepted,
again by Antonio Cromartie.
Through only 15 minutes of play
Manning had already thrown
three interceptions.
22 seconds into the second
quarter, another Manning pass
was picked off by Cromartie,
making it Cromartie's third interception of the game, tying his
season total in just under 16 minutes of play.
The Chargers scored again
with 8:47 to go in the second
quarter, on a LaDainian Tomlinson four yard rush, pushing the
lead to 23-0.
The Colts finally got on the
board late in the second, as Manning passed to wide receiver*
Reggie Wayne for eight yards.
The Colts regained possession
in the final minutes of the second
quarter, as kicker, Adam Vinatieri missed a 44-yard field goal

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

in the Pacific Division with 17
points in 18 games, it would
seem like they wouldn't need
the help.
But the looks could be
deceiving as the Ducks have
played two more games than
the Dallas Stars and San Jose
Sharks who trail the Ducks by
one point. But with only seven
wins in 18 games, the Ducks
need help.
Niedermayer's free agent
replacement, Mathieu Schneider
recently returned from the injured
reserve and has helped spark the
team to a 3-1-1 record over five
games where he has two goals
and five assist in that span.
But if the Ducks want to make
a push in the playoffs, they will
need to find out what Niedermayer's plans are. Is he going
to retire, or is he going to return.
So they can make moves to
improve the team.
But the main hope is that he
will return to the team next
month, where he will earn near
$4 million of his $6.75 million
contract, saving the Ducks $2.75
million in salary cap room and
having a possibility to make a
move towards acquiring a possible star forward who will
become a free agent towards the
trade deadline.

STRAWBERRY piELDS pOREVER
"Across the Universe" does the Beatles justice
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
It is a risky experiment to take the works
of a musical group and format them into a
musical. Broadway has done this well with
ABBA and Billy Joel in "Mamma Mia!"
and "Movin' Out", respectively. However,
there have been limited voyages into the
film medium. For the longest time, Pink
Floyd's "The Wall" has been the only entry
to speak of in this sub-genre. But thanks
to the work of director Julie Taymor, a fitting musical tribute has been made to the
Beatles in "Across the Universe".
"Across the Universe" is the story of Jude,
a 20-something British man, who travels to
America to meet his father. In the process,
he meets Max, a college student, and they
become friends after some 'American hospitality' and 'a little help from his friends'.
When Jude goes to Max's home for Thanksgiving, he meets his sister Lucy, with whom
he falls in love. Then begins the main plot
as the three travel to New York City to see
what life is all about.
Along the way they meet Sadie, a middle
aged club singer, Jo Jo, a guitarist who suffered through the Detroit City Riots, and
Prudence, a young women who discovers

she is different from other girls. These
characters share experiences in turbulent
1970s America.
All the while, 30 Beatles songs are masterfully splashed into the plot. Plus, the
cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Selma
Hayek, Joe Cocker, and others pack a
musical punch. But unlike recent celluloid
musicals, "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge",
"Hairspray", the main characters in this
movie are likely to be performers you are
not familiar with. The difference is they do
not go 'over the top' in their performances
and can flat out sing. For Beatles fans, this
movie has some surprises as songs lyrics
are woven into the dialogue and as you
may have guessed, the characters names.
When you take the music from the greatest group of all time and put it in a musical, it is no surprise that it would also be
great. This movie caused me to fall in love
all over again with some of my favorite
songs, and I now have the soundtrack on
my iPod constantly. Despite a few scenes
of weak dialogue, this movie is awesome.
It opened in select cities a while back, but
now is coming to local theaters, so check
your local listing. All you need is love,
and to see this movie.

Abita Brewing Company brews Purple
Haze in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Abita
Springs sits 30 miles north of New
Orleans. Currently, the company brews
over 62,000 barrels of beer and 3,000
barrels of root beer. Unlike most root
beer companies, the brewery uses sugar
cane as the source of sugar for their root
beer. The brewery has a diverse line of
brews including Turbodog which earned
number one beer in America by "Stuff
Magazine" in August, 2005.
The brewery proudly uses Abita pure
spring water that has been tested free of
manmade contaminants. The brewery
solely utilizes spring
water, malted bare1 e y,
hops, and yeast in all of their recipes.
The brewery does not use preservatives.
They also focus on being an environmental efficient company. The brewery
uses 70% less energy than traditional
brewing methods. They also maintain
a wastewater treatment plant and use a
specific packaging technique to ensure
the lowest usage of recycled paper as
possible. The depleted grain and hops
employed in the manufacturing process
feeds cattle for local Abita farmers.
Naturally, purple hues dominate the
cardboard packaging containing six 12
fluid ounce brown glass bottles. The
design of the content printed on the
packaging remains simplistic and elementary. The labels on the bottles contain the same format. However, a shiny
silver line adds charisma to the shades of
purple. A silver bottle cap with the word
"Abita!" stamped onto it caps a beer with
4.75% alcohol by volume.
The raspberry wheat beer pours
smooth with almost no head. Aromas
similar to raspberry champagne occupy
the surrounding atmosphere. The beer
also mimics the bright golden rays comparable to most champagne. The beer
sends tingling sensations to the tongue
and cheeks upon entry. A mellow sensation follows after the beer descends
onward. The beer has a more biscuit
flavor than raspberry flavor. Only briefly
between sip and swallow can traces of
raspberry be found. The brewers recommend enjoying the beer with salads or
light f ruit desserts. They even recommend enjoying the beer as a dessert after
dinner by itself.
For another delicious f ruit oriented
brew, consider sampling Pyramid's
Apricot Hefeweizen. Cheers!

The moment I walk into Hensley's Flying
Elephant Pub and G rill, I am greeted with
a warm and cheerful feeling. The décor is
a little rockabilly, a little California, punk
rock, and Irish. Powerful red walls and
black highlightsflowthroughout the restaurant.
Located on Tamarack Ave near the 1-5,
the pub is a quick jump off the freeway
and a walk from the beach. It possesses a
relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
There is usually something going on
every night of the week. Regular spots are
filled Wednesday through Saturday with
live music and Sunday is Happy Hour all
day.
Tuesday nights the pub features an eightball double elimination pool tournament.
Registration for the tournament is eight dollars and prizes are awarded to first, second,
and third place.
On Wednesday nights, Joe Wood and the
Lonely Boys entertain patrons with road-
house blues.
On Thursday nights, the owner, Matt Hensley, formerly of the band Flogging Molly,
and friends play traditional Irish music.
Saturday nights feature various artists and
often host philanthropic events to benefit the
local community. Check out the web site for
changes or special events at wwwhensleyspub.com.
Football and soccer are viewed on plasma
screens above the bar. In the back of the pub
is a dance floor and stage for special events
and parties.
The most popular dish on the menu is the
$2.95 fish taco. Entrees vary in price from
$5.25 for sandwiches to $15.00 for the Guinness battered shrimp. Throughout the week,
the pub offers specials on drinks and on Sundays the Happy Hour menu includes a variety
of dishes.
Music starts early so come around 7:30 to
enjoy the entertainment with dinner. If you
are looking for a relaxed evening with live
music orjust a good screen to watch the game
on, think about driving out to Hensley's and
enjoy one of Carlsbad's newest gems.

Update on Southern California wildfires
With the initial disaster over, the state begins to rebuild
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
More than two weeks ago, Oct.
21, the wildfires that tore through
Southern California began their
crusade, destroying thousands of
homes and forcing hundreds of
thousands of residents to evacuate. With the initial state of emergency having dissipated, South-
CSUSM steps
up emergency
preparedness
ern California residents and state
officials are now moving into a
recovery phase.
This past week, fire fighters
continued battling the remaining
flames. As of Thursday, Nov. 1,
only the Poomacha and Santiago
fires continued to burn in California of the 23 fires that plagued
the state less than a week ago.
In regards to the two remaining
fires, fire officials expected full
containment by Nov. 3 and Nov.
4 respectively.
With evacuations lifted this past
week, homeowners and city officials began assessing damages. In
addition to various donations from
non-profit organizations to aid

system enacted
BY BENROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The Emergency Management
Program at Cal State University San Marcos received its
most important upgrade to date
on Nov. 5. As part of an effort
to provide all possible emergency preparedness resources
to students, faculty, and staff,
Emergency Management activated the MIR3 IN (Intelligent Notification) system. The
system allows students, faculty,
and staff to be notified of an
emergency through a variety of
means.
According to an e-mail sent
out by the Office of Communications to all students, "MIR3
IN has been thoroughly tested
and was scheduled to be implemented last week." The e-mail
went on to explain, "Although
the wildfires prevented implementation, the need for a comprehensive emergency notification system has been underscored by recent events."
Notifications can be sent in
the form of SMS text messages,
calls to cell phones, and calls to
home phones; with users having
the ability to choose desired
forms of notification based on
the information they provide.
With this new system, users
will be able to update their
secure notification contact
information online at anytime.
Participation in the program is
not automatic and is entirely
voluntary. For those interested
in the program, simply go to the
Emergency Management website (http://www.csusm.edu/ep/
Alert) and follow the brief registration instructions.
Sherray Blythe leads a group of students in re-establishing Black student organization.
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
For African-American students at Cal State San Marcos,
the Black Student Union is the
only group devoted to bringing
together the African-American
community on campus. Until
recently, the BSU, a vital resource
for an already underrepresented
minority at CSUSM, had come
to a standstill and ceased to be.
However, students at CSUSM
have recently mobilized to revive
the dormant organization. Lead
by Sherray Blythe, the newly
restored group held its first
meeting on Oct. 17. Blythe, the
new BSU president and an active
member in several campus organizations, said, "It [BSU] has
been up before, but people never
went to meetings."

CSUSM women's soccer
first ever playoff game
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM women's soccer made
history Wednesday, as the Cougars defeated Concordia in the
first playoff appearance in the
program's two-year history.
In just the 15th minute, Taylor
Ziencina scored from 18-yards
out over Concordia goal keeper,
Suzanne Torres thanks to an
Annica Perez assist, to give the
Cougars the early 1-0 lead.
In the 52nd minute, Ziencina
struck again on a penalty kick.
Concordia bounced back, and
just three minutes later, scored
their only goal of the game,
bringing the score to 2-1.
The Cougars defense held
strong throughout the game,
proving to be the guiding light
en route to the program's most
important win ever.
The win meant the Cougars
would go up against the #2
ranked Azusa Pacific team that
they faced earlier in the season,
losing by a score of 1-0.
The stage was set for yet
another upset Friday, as the

Younger also attributed the previous failure of the BSU to a lack

Cross country team reaches
national championship
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
Ranked #3 in the nation, the
CSUSM men's cross country
team had nearly a month to
prepare for the NAIA Region
II Championships in Fresno on
Saturday. The Cougars patience
paid off, as they placed first,
punching their ticket to the
National Championships.
Seniors Juan Mejia and
Sergio Gonzalez led the
CSUSM pack, much in the way
they have done for the majority
of the season. Mejia finished
third overall with a time of
24:50. Gonzalez finished just
five seconds back, with a time
of 24:55.
The Cougars had a strong
showing from senior transfer,
Sean Brosnan, who finished
12th overall with a time of
25:31.
Freshmen, Alex Guaderama
and Patrick Fitzgerald had
strong showings in the middle
of the pack that were key to
the overall victory. Guaderama
and Fitzgerald ran side by side
for much of the race, as Guaderama crossed the finish line

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

BSU is looking to do, both on
and off campus. "We feel invisible here on campus," said Sherray Blythe. One of the main concerns at the meeting was increasing the visibility of the BSU at
CSUSM.
Students suggested reaching
out to the community and local
high schools to promote the presence of a united African-American community at CSUSM. They
also hope to draw more CSUSM
students into the group.
Because the group is still in its
infancy, ironing out the financial
situation was also a hot topic on
the meeting's agenda. Danyelle,
a sophomore, suggested the
group look into "creative ways to
do fundraising."
Apart from the logistical issues
covered at the meeting, students
were also attentive to the overall
welfare of the newly reformed
BSU and its members. "We
should come together,".said one
student, emphasizing the need
for "team building activities."
The group also communicated
intentions to meet and connect
with other BSU's as one of many
things in store for the future of
the BSU.
Building on this new momentum, the BSU stands poised to
become a prominent presence
on campus. The BSU encourages interested students to attend
the weekly meetings on Thursdays during University Hour in
Library 1111.

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

the field goal that fell short
of the uprights, and returned
it for 109 yards; the longest
play in the history of the
NFL.
Minnesota came back
strong in third quarter, tying
the game at 14-14, as Peterson rushed for a 64 yard field
goal.
Minnesota scored again,
this time through the air,
as quarterback Brooks
Bollinger passed to wide
receiver, Sidney Rice for a
40 yard touchdown.
The Chargers scored their
last points early on in the
fourth quarter, on a 36-yard,
Nate Kaeding field goal.
Adrian Peterson scored
once again for the Vikings,
this time, at 7:44 in the
fourth, rushing for 46 yards.
Vikings back up running
back, Chester Taylor scored
on a two yard rush with 4:28
remaining in the game, to
solidify the victory.
The final score was 35-17
Vikings, in a game that saw
two all-time NFL records get
shattered.
The Vikings, relying heavily on the success of Peterson, improve their record to
3-5.
The loss brings the Chargers to an even 4-4 record,
with the pivotal part of the
season knocking on the
door.
The Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday
on Sunday Night Football at
5:15 p.m. on NBC.
The Colts are fresh off of
their first loss of the season,
Sunday, losing to the now 9-0
New England Patriots.

�Washington DC, moire than just
The nation's capital is f ull of learning experiences for those who enjoy US history
1
BY VIRIDIANA PACHECO-ISAAC
Pride Staff Writer
For those of us who consider ourselves
history buffs, we know our nation's cápital is not just for uptight politicians. The
city of Washington D.C. is actually a place
to visit if you enjoy cool weather and, of
course, the history of the foundation of our
country.
The city, masked by the White House
and Capital building, is one of those places
where one would find something to do,
even for those who may break into a rash
by the thought of a history lesson. With a
wide variety of pubs, restaurants and night
clubs, there is something to do for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy
a good travel back in time, Washington
D.C. is a place where you must go at least
once in your life time.
The most obvious attraction is the White
House, where the President and First Lady
live. Scores of tourists visit this site every
day, as well as its usual batch of anti-Bush
protesters. However, while the White
House is the icon of the city, its most interesting attractions reside in the National
Mall.
One must-see spot is the Washington
Monument, built in the 1800's in memory
of George Washington. It stands more
than 500 feet tall, surrounded by American Flags. On any given day one can visit
inside the monument and experience the
tributes to the nation's first president.
To the west of the Washington Monument lies the Reflecting Pool, a wide
rectangular pool leading westward to the
Abraham Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln
Memorial is one the most breath-taking
monuments in the National Mall. Built to
commemorate the life and achievement of
the nation's 16 president, it consists of a
large sculpture of a sitting Lincoln and two
of his well-known speeches carved along
the walls.
But the Lincoln Memorial has also been
the site of many famous speeches, including the 1963 Martin Luther King's "I Have
a Dream" speech at the height of the civil

I will start by talking about
A-Rod and how he choose
the biggest day in his sport

showed no respect for the
game, the Boston Red Sox,
and the World Series - something that he has never played
for.
A-Rod rejected an offer
by the New York Yankees

a prerequisite of $350 million starting bid. Now A-Rod

Blood, Sweat, Tears,
Christmas in October
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Do you know when Christmas
starts? Historically, Chflstmas falls
on December 25 . Some people celebrate the twelve days of Christmas,
or get an advent calendar and count
down all the days in December, while
doing things like listening to the
world's most annoying songs while
watching Family Channel holiday
movies.
You know, I hate the people with
advent calendars. Eat your little
Christmas tree shaped piece of chocolate every day and shut up. And in
case I wasn't angry enough at the
'month o' Christmas' people, I always
end up walking into one of those
stores that plays "Frosty the Snowman" on a consistent loop starting on
Thanksgiving.
But there's a new breed rising. A
hideous breed. I can't walk in to the
drug store/grocery store/porn store
without running into a Christmas
aisle in the middle of October. What
the hell is going on? You know, when

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

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

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

Legislation for our education
o
Governor signs AB 262 and AB 1584 to alleviate financial burdens of CA college students
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Two bills signed into legislation recently this month are just
some governmental measures
reforming postsecondary education in California. While the
vetoing of AB 1413 earlier this
month may have discouraged students and campus faculty members, California assemblymen are
still pushing for legislation that
addresses the needs of students in
the postsecondary public school
system and are starting to receive
some success in return.
Governor
Schwarzenegger
recently signed AB 262 and
AB 1548 into law. Both legislations help alleviate the financial
burdens of college for students
across the state.
AB 262, commissioned by
Democratic Assemblyman, Joe
Coto, looks to dispel credit card
companies from targeting college students on campus with
gifts and other luring tactics.
Also called The College Student
Credit Protection Act, AB 262
advises university executives to
revise regulations on credit companies on campus.
Student debt is quickly becoming an epidemic throughout college campuses across the country. While student loans also add
to the problem, credit card debt utors and faculty members. The

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

Islamo-Fascism
Awareness
Week was held Oct. 22 to 26. The
David Horowitz Freedom Center
organized and promoted the event
in conjunction with conservative
student organizations across the
United States.
The intent of Islamo-Fascism
Awareness week was for conservative groups to inform the
American student population of
what the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls the "two Big
Lies." These lies, according to
The Terrorism Awareness Project website (http://www.terrorismawareness.org), are, "George
Bush created the war on terror
and that Global Warming is a
greater danger to Americans than
the terrorist threat."
The Terrorism Awareness Project also stated the purpose of the
protest is to "rally American students to defend their country."
200 universities and colleges
across the United States participated in the event, including Palomar College. CSUSM
initially appeared on the list of
participating campuses but was
later removed. When asked why
the Terrorism Awareness Project
removed Cal State San Marcos,
among other schools, from the
list, a representative from the
group declined to comment on the
matter.
The events included keynote
speakers, panels on oppression of
women, showings of Suicide Killers, Obsession, or Islam: What
the West Needs to Know and the
ABC mini-series The Path to 9/11,
a petition encouraging students
to claim their allegiance, and a
memorial service for the victims
of terrorist attacks. There will
also be a petition "denouncing
Islamo-Fascist violence against
women, gays, Christians, Jews
and non-religious people."
In response to the event the
Muslim Public Affairs Council instructs Muslim students to
do the following: "demonstrate
Islamic ethics and restraint, support free speech, not respond,
contact campus administration,
talk to other student groups,
report hate crimes and incidents."
They also provided workshops for
students under the banner, "Truth
Over Fear: Countering Islamophobia."
The MPAC pamphlet provided
to help Islamic students navigate
through the demonstrations states,
"programs such as Islamo-Facism
Awareness Week (IFAW) seek to
isolate and divide communities,
thereby dislodging their place as
contributing members of society."

In a game that was almost not

the morale of 60,439 fans; even if it
was for only four hours.

The Chargers faced similar circumstances in 2003, when their

enough, to Qualcomm being used as

The #6 ranked CSUSM women's soccer team
is headed to its first ever playoff appearance
Wednesday, as the Cougars face off against the
#3 ranked Concordia Eagles in the first round
of the NAIA Region II playoffs on Wednesday.
The game is at Concordia at 1:00pm.
This is only the second season of women's
soccer at CSUSM, and with only four seniors,
the playoff berth shows plenty of potential.
In a press release from the university, coach
Ron Pulvers said, "For our young team, this is
going to be a great opportunity to get experience in a playoff setting."
The Cougars will look to capitalize on the
skills of senior defender, Annica Perez who
was the October 2007 women's soccer athlete
of the month.
This match-up may look familiar to the
Cougars, who faced Concordia on September
8th, in a fatigued game that ended up being
the worst CSUSM loss of the season. One day
earlier the Cougars played #1 ranked Azusa
Pacific, losing by a score of 0-1.
This time the Cougars will be well rested
due to the cancelation of their final regular
season game, against La Sierra University on
Sunday.
The Cougars finished the season with a

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders
announced late Thursday that the
stadium would be ready and capable
to host the game, stating "The City
will be able to provide s ufficient
public safety personnel to manage a
professional football game without
impeding ongoing w ildfire recovery
e fforts."
The team returned to San Diego
Friday morning allowing time for
players and staff to return to their
homes-all of which still standing.
Throughout the week's tribulations, the Chargers managed to stay
focussed for their match-up with the
Houston Texans en route to their
third consecutive victory; 35-10.
The Chargers got the p arty started
with 5:49 l eft in the f irst quarter with
a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates
49 yard crowd-pleasing touchdown
reception.
Later in the f irst, Chargers cornerback, Antonio Cromartie recovered
a Bryan Pittman fumble and took it
to the house, pushing the Chargers
lead to 14-0.
Houston got on the board early
in the second quarter with a Kris
Brown 40-yard field goal.
Antonio Gates made the highlights
again with a 31 yard touchdown
reception to the l eft. Antonio Cromartie followed soon a fter with an
interception f rom Houston quarterback, Matt Schaub that was returned
for a 70 yard touchdown.
Philip Rivers got the newly
acquired wide receiver, Chris Chambers involved with a 14 yard touchdown pass near the two minute mark
in the second quarter.
The Chargers took a 35-3 lead into
h alftime, and needed nothing more
f rom the o ffense to secure the victory.
The Chargers won by a score of
35-10, in a game that brought out the
best of the Chargers in the midst of a
crisis throughout the county.
"It was kind of like a win for the
San Diego Chargers, but at the same
time it was a win for San Diego
itself," said Gates a fter the game.
The victory improved the Chargers record to 4-3, putting the in a
tie for f irst place in the AFC West
with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers travel to Minnesota

The Lost Boys of Sudan
Renowned author Benjamin Ajak shares
his story of survival
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
On multiple occasions in the past few
weeks, Cal State San Marcos hosted several distinguished guests of various backgrounds to speak to students, faculty, and
staff on a variety of topics. Last week was
no different as Sudanese native Benjamin
Ajak visited CSUSM on Oct. 16 and 17,
bringing with him an unrivaled story of
survival and triumph of the human will.
From a village of mud brick to a sprawling city of steel and concrete, Benjamin
Ajak traveled tens of thousands of miles in
his 14-year exodus from his war torn home
of Sudan. Benjamin is most famous for
"They Poured Fire on us From the Sky", a
book he co-authored with cousins Benson
and Alephonsion Deng and mentor Judy
A. Bernstein. The book documented their
accounts as part of nearly 20,000 displaced and orphaned Sudanese refugees
popularly referred to as "The Lost Boys
of Sudan."
With the help of the International
Rescue Committee, Benjamin Ajak and
thousands of other "Lost Boys" resettled
across the United States. En route to San
Diego, Benjamin's flight was diverted to
Canada due to the attacks of September
11, 2001. He finally arrived in San Diego
two weeks later.
Of the few things Benjamin brought
with him from Africa, his unquestionable
passion for learning and education accompanied him throughout his various travels.
Sharing his experiences, Benjamin spent
two days on campus, kept busy by a dense
itinerary involving class visits, book signings, and an address before an audience
of students, faculty, staff, and community
members.
In one such engagement, Benjamin took
the time to respond to questions from students with topics ranging from the Sudan
People's Liberation Army to favorite educational experiences in the United States.
One student asked Benjamin how he felt
in his first encounter with a lion, to which
Benjamin responded, "Living with the
lion is not scary for us...because we live
in the jungle."
Another student asked Benjamin if he
misses anything from his life in Africa.
"Yes, I miss a whole bunch," replied Benjamin. "I miss a whole lot of friends."
Despite the seriousness ofhis story, Benjamin's lighthearted demeanor throughout
the discussion carried over to the audience, who laughed along with his stories.
In keeping with the tone of the discussion, one student jokingly asked, "some
men in the village had many wives, are
you bummed out that in America you can
only have one?"
Of his father's eight wives, Benjamin's
mother had 13 children of which only
himself and his brother survived the civil
war in Sudan.
Prior to becoming a full time speaker,
Benjamin worked as a truck driver and has
been to all of the lower 48 states. Benjamin plans to continue to visit schools and
other organizations to share his story and
insight with others.

In today's technology
The iPod Touch
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
If you thought Apple had finally hit the
ceiling when it comes to must-have gadgets this year, think again.
The iPod Touch has just been released
on the market and is being hailed as
iPhone's hip, retro baby brother. Here are
the basics - there are two models available— an 8GB and a 16GB respectively
starting at $299. So then the question
people should ask themselves is "why
should I get my hands on this neat little
device?"
It's justifying to
know Apple is getting all the praise
it deserves, especially for all the
Apple owners. On
that same token, is
there anyone that
can stop them at
this point?
The lingering m m m m m mm m
mmmmmamm
question remains
whether this sleek, little MP3 player is a
must have. How does it compare to the
iPhone that is already been on the market
for 4 months? The answer is simple having the iPod Touch is like owning a
Cadillac when you're actually driving a
Buick. Had the iPod Touch been released
before the iPhone, it would have been the
device that launches Apple into the upper
stratosphere of technical mastery.
Witbfthat said, here are 5 tips about the
iPod touch:
Get your web applications. From
checking Facebook to creating personal
calendars to checking personal email,
Apple has created a link enabling users
to download vital web applications. It is
a good idea since it integrates well with
the already user-friendly touch screen
browser. And speaking of web browsers...
Try to figure out Safari. Sure the
melius on the device move fiuidly, but
that doesn't mean people will figure out
the web browser in a day. Safari is touted
by Apple as a great tool to use to check
out the web, but it is unable to support
Flash or Java. Still, it is awesome to
check out clips off of YouTube wherever
you go.
Buy a gel skin. The gadget can be probable to survive a hurricane but that doesn't
mean it still shouldn't have some snazzy
protection to prevent those inevitable
h h h b b i h m b b drops. Check out
gelaskins.com for
some stylish skins
that are both artsy
and fun. Skins are
available for older
models too.
Pause a song or
adjust the volume
while locked. This

to be looked at as
a drawback to the more traditional iPod
owners who are accustomed to a click
wheel for volume control. Simply double-tap the home button and the volume
control, back, next, and pause/play controls will come to your screen.
Don't like the icons? Well change
them. It's hard tofixwhat already seems
to look so good. The Playlists, Artists,
Songs, Albums and More buttons can be
customized to look anyway you like.
Just what Grandpa wanted. The design
means more to younger folks than to
the tech-impaired. With intentions of
bridging the technological gap, the user
friendly navigation, gorgeous visuals,
and bright menus are fused so that grandparents can rock out to their great rock
and roll icons.

Pride Staff Writer
For students who take lecture notes on
laptops, the standard word processor may
provide adequate capabilities for simply
maintaining its namesake: word processing.
While there are numerous web-based
solutions that aid in the process of organizing and maintaining notes and documents,
such as Google Docs, but none stand out
more than Backpack.
Backpack, which can be found at backpackit.com, provides one of the most comprehensive ways to stay organized on the
web. The note taking functionality of
Backpack is merely an attribute to the host
of features offered in the Backpack Suite.
Backpack takes an innovative approach
to organization, utilizing the basic design
principles of a standard personal website,
while offering users effortless data entry
under five categories; list, note, file, picture, or writeboard.
After registration, users are prompted
to create a new page. I would recommend creating a page for each class,
this is the most efficient method
for applying the service to a
scholastic setting, though
creating pages by topic
may also be efficient
depending on the user's
needs.
After naming the page, users can enter
a brief summary that can include anything
from teacher contacts, to the main points
of the course.
Backpack offers a great to-do list fea-
ture that allows users to create tasks, and
check them off wheç complete.
The note taking functionality of Backpack is simple and effective. Users simply

in the text box below. Notes are organized
by date.
Using a simple upload form, users can
add files to the page as well. Files could
include the course syllabus, or other course
content documents.
Backpack's reminder feature is a
small and sometimes unnoticed element that allows users to create email
reminders for events that range from
"later today" to "next year." The
Reminder functionality also strikes a
chord with Macintosh users by its ability to subscribe to reminders through
Apple's iCal software.
Users can also share pages with other
users, thus making group studying convenient for everyone.
Backpack is an extremely diverse service, offering thousands of other uses,
including: planning an event, listing
items for sale, organizing and preparing
for a meeting, and planning a trip.
Backpack offers seemingly endless
opportunities for users to organize

their lives with technology. From
taking notes, to creating lists,
to planning events, Backpack is at the front

reports all but the Witch, Harris,
and Poomacha fires are 100%
contained.
Cal State San Marcos and
nearby residents felt the heat in
a close encounter with the shortlived Coronado Hills Fire. Many
students living near campus
awoke early Monday morning to
the sight offlamesand the sound
of sirens on South Twin Oaks
Valley Road. Only claiming
300 acres, fire fighters quickly
snuffed out the Coronado Hills
fire by late Monday afternoon,
lifting mandatory evacuations
for residences near CSUSM and
San Elijo Hills. The proximity of
the fire coupled with extremely
poor air quality forced CSUSM
to close its doors for the remainder of the week. Classes resumed
on Monday, Oct. 29.
The latest figures place the
number of people in Southern
California displaced by the firestemporarily or permanently-at
950,000. Residents of San Diego
County account for roughly
640,000 of those the fire displaced.
Devastation of the scale caused
by these fires has evoked comparisons to Hurricane Katrina,
the last major disaster to draw
national attention of the same caliber given to Southern California
over the past week. San Diego
County Sheriff Bill Kolender
said the number of victims evacuated as a result of thesefireshas
exceeded the number of victims
evacuated from New Orleans
during Hurricane Katrina.
Early on Sheriff Kolender
predicted, "This fire will probably be the worst this county has
ever seen-worse than the Cedar
Fire," prophetic words that would
resound through much of the
week. Whether or not the cumulative damage of these fires in
San Diego County exceeds that
of the Cedar Fire remains to be
seen.

�CSUSM shaken by evacuation, losses
Many have returned home, but some were not so lucky
BY VIRIDIANA
PACHECO-JSAAC
Pride Staff Writer
When CSUSM student, Zenia
Zambrano, woke up early last
Monday morning, she did not
expect n6r understand the commotion happening outside her
San Marcos apartment. She had
been woken up by one of her
roommates who told her to look
outside—she could not believe
her eyes.
What she saw foreshadowed
the long week ahead for many
San Diego residents who had to
evacuate their homes—many to
never see them again—due to the
many fires that threatened and
took much of San Diego County.
"The first thing I saw was a guy
outside my roommate's window,"
said Zambrano. "He kept yell-
ing, 'Don't worry about it, just
get out.' One of my roommates
thought she saw one of the apartments burning down and as soon
as we stepped outside we saw all
the cars trying to leave"
Zambrano is one of many students living at Prominence Community right next to campus. The
Apartment community holds
more than 550 apartments with
more students than families or
elderly living there, said Thomas
Peterson, Leasing Agent at Prominence.
"[Between] late Sunday and
early Monday we witnessed a
fire on the hillside in back of the
complex," said Peterson. "It was
not a major threat, but just to be
on the safe side we started to tell
people."
Peterson said the evacuation was not mandatory, but the
majority of people who decided
to evacuate left Monday around 2
a.m., although some stayed until
Wednesday, and some decided to
stay.
The apartment community
counts on 24-hour security, which
was responsible for knocking on
doors and informing people, as
well as monitoring how close the
fires got, he said.
Zambrano and her roommates,
like many residents there,fledthe
apparent danger and found shelter at a friend's home in the area.
"I had no idea what was going
on," she said. "Everyone was
honking their horns because I
guess there was no time to call
everyone because there are so
many apartments. In that moment
I just grabbed whatever I could.
I took shoes and stuff for work,
as well as my purse which at that
time had my credit cards and
birth certificate."
She said she started trying to
exit the gate community but was
afraid they were not going to be
able to get out. Once out and on
the road she saw the fires burning
on Coronado Hill up closer.
"I saw the fires from my car,
where you could see a view of the
campus and the apartments," she
said. "It looked like lava coming
down."
While Peterson stressed the
traffic trying to leave was not
chaotic— the complex has the
front exit as well as an emergency
exit through the back—the worst
of the rush was early Monday
morning. He said the fire was put
out quite rapidly, and by the end
of the week people began returning to their homes.
But not everyone was so fortunate.

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

and possible power failure, we
decided to move again. We settled down shortly after midnight
near CSUSM off of Rancho Santa
Fe Road. I stayed up for another
two hours listening the the news
on the radio and on TV and calling my dad, continually asking
him to leave our house.
Around 2:00 a.m. on Monday
morning, I heard of an unconfirmed report of a fire near Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Driving
north on Rancho Santa Fe Road,
I caught sight of the flames just
after passing San Marcos Boulevard. During the rest of the
night, I checked up on the fire
several times, heard that my dad
got out safely and slept about two
or three hours. In the morning,
we moved from San Marcos to
Lemon grove. Later the day we
heard that our house was gone by
word of our neighbor who stayed
in the neighborhood and weathered out the storm in a concrete
bunker he had previously built.
Currently we are still staying in
Lemon Grove. Some advice that
has already been said: If you are
in danger err on the side of caution and don't wait until it is too
late. Possessions can be replaced
whereas your or your loved ones
live's can't. Stay safe and my and
my family's thoughts and prayers
are with you all.

Gone are the days of going to the store
to rent movies. Seeing as DVD's are
much more manageable than video cassettes, it was only a matter of time before
someone realized you could put them in

Now, instead of having to go to the
store for movies, through the services
offered by different providers, you can
get DVD's right in your mail. I had both

Fall is in the air. When the sun starts
setting earlier and grocery stores begin
stocking up on candy and costumes for
Halloween I feel the urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins.
In the spirit of Autumn" I thought that
I would sample Pumpkin Ale to experience all the flavors of Fall. One option
available for the seasonal sensation is
Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Pumpkin Ale.
The ale is brewed with baked and
roasted pumpkins combined with spices
such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
Some other pumpkin brewers include
Post Road, Smuttynose, The Shipyard,
Dogfish Head, and Blue Moon.
The
tradition
of
brewing
pumpkin ales goes back to colonial
America. According to money.cnn.
com the native pumpkin was chosen
as an alternative to British barley and
hops. The result was a uniquely Americanflavoredbeer.
As I taste the ale the pumpkin flavor
seeps slowing into my conscious and
leaves a spicy taste lingering. A cool
and refreshing beverage paired well
with any squash or pumpkin-carving
event.
For those of you who love pumpkins
as much as I do I am sure that this will
be something to look forward to every
October. For the rest of
you - give it a try and
you may find something you like about
pumpkins.

It's rare to find the combination of
great Japanese food and great prices.
The best places to get the most bang for
your spicy tuna roll are the mom 'n pop
restaurants.
Not too far from campus is a Japanese
restaurant that is tiny in square footage,
but can fill a large appetite. Boo & Mee
Cafe, located northwest of San Marcos
Boulevard and Bent Ave, offers a variety
of quality Japanese dishes for moderate
prices.
Sushi is a true testament to the notion
that 'you get what you pay for,' and when
you see a roll of sushi priced anywhere
from 75 cents to $1.99, you can't help but
get suspicious. Keeping with the thought
that price reflects quality, for college students looking to step outside of the California roll but unwilling to empty their
wallets, Boo & Mee just might be the
ideal situation.
With a menu consisting of Japanese specialties such as udon, yakisoba, curry, of
course sushi, tempura and more, you won't
find yourself looking for something that
isn't on the menu. Boo & Mee offers rolls
of sushi ranging from $2.90 to 9 dollars,
offering the standard rolls of tuna, yellowtail, eel and more. They also offer their
own specialties such as the Baja California roll, which is a California roll topped in
crab and spicy sauce.
The restaurant also offers a "pick two
combo," where you can choose two dishes
from a variety of tempura, teriyaki, sushi,
stir f ry and deep fry, for under 6 dollars.
These dishes can fill the average appetite,
but for the truly hungry, I'd recommend
ordering a roll of sushi in addition.
Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride
As for the environment of the restaurant, you won't find any fancy paintings
on the wall, nor are there golden chop
sticks to get your hands on, but don't
think that will offset your appetite. With a
TV on each end of the restaurant playing
The Food Network, along with a random
swordfish nailed to the northeast corner
of the place, you'll be entertained as your
taste buds await your meal.
The restaurant from the customer's
perspective is a one-man-show, with the
sushi chef also acting as host, server and
bus boy; the true signs of a mom 'n pop
restaurant.
From sushi to tempura to fried oysters,
Boo & Mee offers a little more than what
you pay for, and what the restaurant lacks
in fanciness, i t certainly makes up in food
quality;

NDERGRO HIPHOP
By Toria Savey I Pride Staff Writer
Spoken word hip-hop collective
Ill-Literacy comes to campus
There are places that are alive with music.
People perform on street corners and beats
rise out of potholes and drift out of clubs
and coffeehouses. Or any place with a roof,
a door and a microphone. Those who look
hard enough agree that San Diego is one
of these locales, with lyrics embedded in
its very blueprint, but on Friday night, one
didn't have to go into the city to seek the
energy. The music came directly to CSU
San Marcos.
The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series
in conjunction with campus' Kamalayan
Alliance (KA) brought spoken-word hiphop collective Ill-Literacy to campus: And
Ill-Literacy brought songs that were relatable, hilarious and tragic; an entire world.
The evening opened with Irene Castruita, a former member of San Diego's own
Los Able Minded Poets, another spoken
word collective. Her introduction to her
pieces, stating, "I don't call it spoken word,
I call it spoken soul because we express
our souls," may have made some mem-
bers of the audience roll their eyes. However, when minutes seemed to fly as she
covered topics like war, truth, poverty and
beauty with a mixture of poetry, beats and
a cappella singing, skepticism was quickly
replace with fascination; Castruita was, in
her own words, "singing songs in the key
of life."
Up next, it was time for the main act.
After being announced and welcomed by
a member of KA, Ill-Literacy took the
stage. The welcome by the KA, while
proper, may have been somewhat unnecessary. The group is made of four members who would own the stage whether it
was offered to them or not. Reminiscent of
many concerts, a single member was sent
out to warm up the audience. Slowly, each
member of the group came on stage, performing a segment of the opening number,
and asking the audience to come with them
on a "journey".
While there were all sort of influences
for the various songs, most involved some
form of societal commentary. Ruby Veridiano-Ching called for a return to chivalry
and a realizing of one's inner beauty. Adriel
Luis, in addition to having the dubious job
of being the first one on stage, performed
an a mazing piece from the point of view
of self-hatred. "Stop trying to find me in
everyone else, and maybe, just maybe you
can find me in yourself," he spat as he literally jumped around the stage. Dahlak
Brathwaite, offered some of the most scathing commentary, beginning his time on
stage by announcing that "the club looks
nothing like the Yin Yang Twins says it
does." Perhaps some of the most powerful
moments on stage were during his tonguein-cheek explanation of the usage and ownership of the word "nigga" and its relationship to oppression. Two of the pieces that
brought the most laughter and empathy
from the audience though came from Nico
Cary, the first a "f*ck you list", including
everything from conservative politicians
to people who had Lunchables and never
Keep your ear to the ground
Hip-hop albums
Have you recently heard someone use the word "participle" while rapping? A verbalflowstrong enough
that it defies the separations of verses and choruses? If not, maybe it's time for a little less 50 Cent and a
little more Jurassic 5 in your record collection. Welcome to underground hip hop and spoken word. The
same beat you love from mainstream hip hop, but the bar for innovation is set significantly higher. Here's
a few discs, out of millions of possibilities, to expand your musical knowledge.
Gil Scott-Heron
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
One of the original beat poets, Scott-Heron was talking about the
harsh hopelessness of the ghetto before the word "rap" had even
hit social consciousness. The album is from the 1970s, and it
sounds like it. The messages contained in it however are ageless,
particularly "Whitey on the Moon", about poverty in the ghetto in
comparison to the millions spent to put a man on the moon
Jurassic Five
Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5 has definitely moved further towards the mainstream
in the years they've been together. The group's sophomore album
will take you far from the land of LiP Jon, while still maintaining
the contagious beats that draw people to hip hop in the first place.
Start with track 7, What's Golden, to have your faith restored in
the verbal ability of emcees (the group has 4, and 2 DJs). Jurassic
5 is "sick ofphony mobsters, controlling the dancefloor",and
after hearing what hip hop SHOULD sound like, you will be, too.
Mos Def & Talib Kweli
Black Star
The group is composed of Mos Def and Talib Kweli, who each
have plenty of albums that could have been included in this list.
When the two are combined, they create Black Star, and some
ground-breaking rap, more concerned with the state of culture
than booty calls. Check out "Thieves in the Night": Not strong,
only aggressive, 'cause the power ain t directed/ That 2? why, we
are subjected to the will of the oppressive.
shared. The second was about his desire to
be a revolutionary, but being too bombarded
by different types of "revolution" recruiters
on the campus of UC Berkeley to decide on
a cause, and mocking the inability of each
group tofindcommon ground.
At the beginning, Adriel announced IllLiteracy's intent to "reawaken a culture".
They spoke to the audience, provoking
everything from uncontrollable laughter to
shouted agreement during statements about
society's stumbling blocks. A throw back to
beat poets and early DJs more than the violent "gangsta" rap that's become popular,
the group showcased hip hop at its finest,
exhibiting unbelievable word flow without
a single gang shout out or misogynistic reference. Looking around at an auditorium
full of wide eyed people hanging on the
group's every word, it would seem that IllLiteracy's goal is Well on its way to becoming reality. On Friday night, even if only for
a moment, CSU San Marcos was not only
awakened, but ignited.
Speaking with
spoken words
Ill-Literacy interview
One of the main appeals of
Ill-Literacy, in comparison to
others in the field of spoken
word and hip hop, may be their
accessibility, with audience
members coming up to them
after the show and interacting
like long-lost friends. When the
flock thinned a little, the Pride
had a chance to ask the group a
few quick questions. As gleaned
from their interaction on stage,
the members of Ill-Literacy
are friends as much as they're
band mates. There was constant laughter, as they gave the
same answers and finished each
others' sentences.
Dahlek: Yeah, we get,
what would you say, like
withdrawals. Without each
other.
What's the smallest show
you've ever played?
Adriel: Man, I think like 6.
Probably 6.
So would you rather play for
six or 1,000?
D: Depends. If you get all 6 of
those people in, it could be your
best show ever.
What do you guys do after

Governor Schwarzenegger
vetoed Assembly Bill 1413 last
Friday, Oct. 12, despite a concerted effort by the California
Faculty Association (CFA) and
various state government officials urging Governor Schwarzenegger fo sign the bill into law.
AB 1413 proposed tighter regulations to the CSU Board of Trustees' executive compensation proceedings.
Following the approval of 11%
pay raises for executives at last
months Board of Trustees meeting, the CFA campaigned heavily against these; raises, backing
passage of AB 1413 and SB 190,
another piece of CSU reform legislation. Working closely with
Assemblyman, - Anthony Portantino, Senator Xeland Yee,
and Lieutenant Governor John
Garemendi, the CFA reported on
fraudulent and wasteful spending
practices within the CSU executive compensation policy.
In response to Governor
Schwarzenegger's veto, Assemblyman Portantino, Chair of the
Assembly Committee on Higher
Education and author of the
vetoed bill, commented, "as a
strong advocate of higher education, I am extremely disappointed
with this veto."

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

Alternative Spring Break gives
students the chance to give back
to the community. Last year, the
program expanded out of state
for the first time by going to
New Orleans, helping to restore
the damage left over from the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Katrina, which
struck the Southeastern part of
the United States, was the costliest and one of the five deadliest
hurricanes in United States history,
This year the program will

Cal State San Marcos- The lecture hall was at its capacity as students and faculty poured into Academic Hall 102 last Wednesday,
Oct. 10, to hear two retired generals speak on the current state of
U.S. policy in the Middle East.
In collaboration with the Washington D.C. based Center for
Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and the CSUSM Department
of Political Science, the CSUSM
Model United Nations hosted a
campus visit by former Lieutenant
General, Robert Gard, of the U.S.
Army and former General, Joseph
P. Hoar, of the U.S. Marine Corps.
The visit was one of many stops in
San Diego for the two retired gen-
erals as part of a two-day long series
of speaking engagements critical of
the Bush administration's handling
of both the war in Iraq and relations
with Iran.
General Joseph Hoar served as
the Deputy for Operations for the
Marine Corps during the Gulf War
and later as the Commander-inChief of U.S. Central Command
(CENTCOM), the unified combatant command that oversees jointmilitary operations in the MiddleEast, East Africa, and Central

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

Apart from avoiding redunFm mom infonmtion and eligibility criteria w it the dancy, Governor Schwarzenegger's
explanation reasoned, "we should

their ability to hire quality instructors and administrators."
The Chancellor's Office
released an official response to
the veto earlier this week. "We
are pleased the Governor has
vetoed AB 1413," said Chancellor
Reed. The Chancellor also maintained, "We remain committed to
operating the CSU with the highest possible level of transparency
and accountability to students,
taxpayers, policymakers and the
public."
Despite this veto, Governor
Schwarzenegger stated, "when
appropriate, I do believe that there
should be transparency in our educational systems so that the public
has confidence in our institutions,
which is why I am signing Senate
Bill 190 that provides some additional openness and accessibility
for the public on matters of executive compensation."

The two have been vocal critics of the handling of the war
in Iraq since the 2003 invasion.
In May of 2004, General Hoar

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

�L.T. carries Chargers
to second straight win
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
Last week Chargers got back
into the swing of things with a
huge victory over the Denver
Broncos. What was the one
thing that was notably absent
from the huge 41-3 win last
week? The prowess and domination of LaDainian Tomlinson
that Chargers fans have come to
know and love over the past few
years.
Last Sunday the Chargers
managed to score four touchdowns on offense; none of
which were in the hands of
Tomlinson.
Fast-forward seven days, and
in front of 67,000 person crowd
at Qualcomm, Tomlinson scored
four touchdowns of his own on
the way to 199 yards rushing, in
easily his most explosive game
of the season thus far.
Tomlinson guided the Chargers to 28-14 victory; the eighth
straight over the Raiders.
The famed Chargers-Raiders
rivalry went down in front of a
packed house, with fan support
on both sides of the ball. The
Raiders left droves of Los Angeles area Raiders fans teamless,
when the organization packed
up and moved from Los Angeles
to Oakland in 1995. These fans
are still strong today, and many
make a point to take the journey
south and catch the Raiders in
their only Southern California
appearance of the season.
The Chargers, feeding off last
week's momentum, scored on
the first drive, advancing the
ball 80 yards in 11 plays with a
balanced air to ground attack.
The drive culminated in a threeyard Tomlinson touchdown that
sent him leaping over Raiders
defense and crossing the plane
of the goal line at a nearly vertical angle.
It took only three plays on
the ensuing Oakland possession
for the Chargers' defense to get
to work. Cornerback, Drayton
Florence, intercepted Daunte
Culpepper's third and 12 pass
intended for wide receiver,
Jerry Porter.
On the very next drive, Tomlinson rushed through traffic
to the left, for a 27-yard touchdown. Not only had Tomlinson
matched his touchdown total on
the season in only eight minutes,
but he also tied John Riggins for
fifth all-time in career rushing
touchdowns, with 104.
Oakland struck in the second
quarter, as linebacker, Thomas
Howard, intercepted a Philip
Rivers pass and returned it for a
66-yard defensive touchdown.
Early in the third quarter, on a
drive sparked by a Philip Rivers
to Antonio Gates 28- yard pass,
Tomlinson scored again, this
time for 13 yards.
The Raiders scored their
final points with 5:18 left in the
fourth quarter as Daunte Culpepper passed to rookie tight
end, Zach Miller, for a goal line
touchdown.
Tomlinson scored his 106career touchdown on a massive 41-yard rush that gave the
Chargers some insurance with
a 28-14 lead. A lead that would
be made final after a disastrous
attempt at a Raiders comeback.
Tomlinson's quest through
the record books met up with
another legend in this game.
LT's final touchdown put him in
a tie with Jim Brown for fourth
place all-time in career rushing
touchdowns.
The Chargers victory pushed
them to 3-3 overall on the
season, putting them in a tie for
first place in the AFC West with
the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers take a week
off and return to the field on
October 28 at home to face the
Houston Texans at 1:05 p.m. on
CBS.

requested for use with their courses.
MCS is available both on and off campus and
can be accessed in one of three ways: a link is
placed in WebCT, typing "mcs" into a campus
computer's web browser, or, if being accessed
from off campus, typing "http://mcs.csusm.edu"
into the browser.
Originally, the MCS was intended to replace
the large and difficult to maintain cable television system on campus.
By streaming video over the network, Integrated Information Technology Services
(ITTS) was able to not only cut down on the
clutter of the cabling system, but also include
the off campus support, integrate it into the
WebCT system and record off air, similar to

The online media library was piloted last
spring with a few instructor volunteers. However, as it is a new system, development will
be slow in order to make sure it works with all
computers.
As instructors request different materials be
placed in the media library, the number of videos
on the server vary from semester to semester.
Although the MCS is not intended as an archive
for student videos, ITTS does help student to
place materials on the serves for course-related
purposes.
In order to deliver relevant and desired content, an informal poll of campus organizations
that use the MCS is conducted and the results
are incorporated into the selection as much as
possible.
Many of the popular cable channels are not
available due to the school's basic cable feed
from Time-Warner.

.3ÜLY1 one area's tragedy and exposes it worldwide
Invisiblechildren.com takes
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
If you have not heard of Invisible Children by now, it is about
time you did.
Invisible Children Inc. is an
organization founded by San Diego
area filmmakers Jason Russell,
Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole,
dedicated to creating awareness
for the plight and poverty of the
people ofNorthern Uganda. Northern Uganda is in the middle of a
civil war between its established
government and rebel group, the
Lords Resistance Army. The Lords
Resistance Army, formed in 1987,
is led by Joseph Kony, who, along
with his soldiers, has been openly
accused of violent and widespread
human torture, mutilation, rape
and abduction.
The Lord's Resistance Army
(LRA) is most well known for
its forced army recruitment by
kidnapping. In a 2006 survey
declared that more than 66,000
youths were abducted by the
LRA since 1987.
Invisible Children started as a
rough cut documentary filmed in
the spring of2003. According to the
website, thefilmmakerswent into
the opportunity as a "filmmaking
adventure," but "[the adventure]
transformed into much more when
these boys from Southern Califor-
nia discovered a tragedy that both
disgusted and inspired them - A
tragedy where children are both
the weapons and the victims.
What started as a 55- minute
rough cut documentary four
years ago, has turned into multifaceted, non-profit organization
dedicated to making a difference,
or as the website states "transforming apathy into activism."
The main focus of the website
is directed toward the most tangible medium of communication oil
the internet: video. Nearly .every
featured project on the website is
greeted with a hip, modern introduction video that conveys the
main points in a way that not only
grabs the viewer's attention, but
informs him or her along the Avay.
The current marquee project
highlighted on the website is the
"Schools for Schools" program!
The "Schools for Schools" project is dedicated to fostering the
desire for the children of Northern Uganda to acquire an education. The project will achieve this
by taking the top 46 high schools
in Northern Uganda and turning
them into the best schools in the
country, in an effort to match the
academic averages of the rest of
the African continent. The program focuses on five aspects for
reform: water, teachers, books,
buildings, and technology.
The "Schools for Schools"
project is supported by middle
schools, high schools, and colleges in America. To date, more
than $112,000 has been raised by
547 schools with 5,892 students
participating.
Invisiblechildren.com recently
launched "The Bracelet Campaign", a project derived to make

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

Passion, support, appreciation - these were the reverberated words as the 2007 San
Diego Asian Film festival
kicked off this past Thursday at
the UltraStar Cinemas in Mission Valley.
Now in its eighth year, the
SDAFF is showcasing 130 films
ranging from full-length features to an assortment of short
independent clips. The festival
also includes workshops for
young filmmakers. The spotlight film was "Dark Matter,"
which is a story based off true
events of a physics student who
kills six people at a university.
Otherfilmsincluded were "Finishing the Game" (opening at
the Landmark Ken Cinema
in San Diego on Oct. 26), and
"West 32nd," a crime drama set
in New York's Korea-town.
For many of the guests, the
festival is an amazing platform
to encourage and support the
arts in the growing community.
Special guests of the festival
include celebrity faces from the
Asian community such as Justin
Lin, Roger Fan, Yul Kwon, MC
Hammer and Leonardo Nam.
Many of them spoke about
upcoming projects, political and
social awareness, and fair representation in the media.
"I'm definitely thankful and
I think the fans have been great
and very generous," said James
Kyson Lee, who stars on the

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

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

The cardboard packaging holds
six, 12 fluid ounce brown glass
bottles. Black, tan, and gold hues
comprise the visual aesthetics.
A creative god-like horse styled
animal dominates the center of the
packaging. The bottle is adorned
with the same image. The bottles
are capped with a tan and gold
bottle cap that seals off a beer with
4.95% alcohol-by-volume and 145
calories. A light version offers 50
less calories.
The beer pours ultra-smooth and
creates little to no head. The champagne colored beer glistens heavenly behind the frosty glass. The
beer creates a low key aroma similar
to that of the more famous Heineken.
Wort, barley malt, and hops function in harmony to create a
smooth tasting beer. The
beer enters the mouth, jolts
the taste buds, and quickly
exits stage left. A subtle tingling sensation lingers for
a brief moment as a result
of the shock. Given its
crisp taste, the beer can
be paired with almost
any food selection.

Since its release last Tuesday, Stephen Colbert's first book, "I Am
America (And So Can You!)," raises
one simple question: Is it a great
book, or the greatest book ever? In
my honest opinion, I would have
to say, "Yes." It has something for
everyone: humor, justice, and the
truth about America. It should not
be long before this book replaces the
Constitution.
BY BRYANT TINTLE
Pride Staff Writer
I, like most college students, have succumbed to
the horror that is the "midnight munchies." The fact
that you are starving at
11:00 at night while trying
to do a Political Science
paper due tomorrow isn't
the scary part. The horror
is driving around trying
to find a good place open
that late. That is why there
exists the haven for the
hungry nocturnal being:
El Mexicano.
Located on Mission Rd.
in Escondido, it is within
reasonable driving distance from CSUSM. In
fact, it stands to reason
that you may have already
driven past it and never
noticed it. It is difficult to
comprehend that a building shaped like a small
barn is actually a Mexican
restaurant.
Not only do you get a
close restaurant, you also
get a good p rice| A biirritó, quesadilla, and drink
together are less tlfaii 7 dollars. Now, when I say burrito, I'm not talking about
one of those thin, wimpy
E AXOF
little things youfindat your
average run-of-the-mill
fast food Mexican joint.
You get a grande-size burrito, the kind you can only
get at a hole-in-the^wall
restaurant like this, a burrito you might feel bad for
eating afterwards, but you
don't care because it was
so delicious.
Take a couple of your
buddies to lunch when you
have a break. Reminisce
about the crazy antics that
your group has gotten itself
into yet again. This is the
perfect place to define as
your friends' new meeting
spot.
So whether you and your
friends are looking for a
new restaurant to eat at so
you don't get sick of sandwiches and burgers, or just
looking to calm that midnight hunger beast,£ don't
hesitate to take a short
driye out of your ' comfort zone into a little place
called El Mexicano, or "the
delicious^ Mexican restaurant that you will be telling
your friends about forever"
in English.

Seriously, this is a great read,
whether or not you are a fan of Colbert and his Comedy Central show,
"The Colbert R eport" I waited for
this book for a very long time and
the very cover of the book had me
giggling.
This book is part of Colbert's continuing tongue-in-cheek attempt to
bring America back to its glorious,
conservative state. From thefirstpage
to the last, he writes with his clever and
witty style that had me laughing out
loud. The book covers how to live like
an American in areas such as family,
religion, media, and education.
Armed with his right-wing values,
he breaks down issues, pointing what
is 'wrong' with America, and how
everyone would be more patriotic
by following his family-loving, Godfearing, alpha-male lifestyle. While
being a humorous look at America,
it is also very poignant. True to his
nature, Colbert wrote this book to be
both Entertaining and educational.
So pick up some Ben and Jerry's
Americone Dream, curl up in an
American flag on a couch next to
your copy of The Declaration of Independence, and enjoy "I Am America." Be sure to get several copies
as well; one each for your bedroom,
bath room, and living room to get
your full serving of truth. This book
should do for America, what Harry
Potter did for wizards.
If everyone could just read this
book, the world would be a better
place. And that's the word.

CSUSM Professor Mikiko
Imamura-Seyller, head of the
Japanese Program department,
passed away in her home Sept. 27
a fter a 7-year battle with Cancer.
She was 59.
Imamura-Seyller was a cherished member of the CSUSM
f aculty and a key component of
the Foreign Languages program.
She is survived by her husband,
and t wo children. Her son is a
University student i n the U nited
States and her daughter lives in
Japan. Imamura-Seyller taught
Japanese at CSUSM f rom the
inception of the program and
helped to develop consistently
the s uccessful program it is
today.
Loved by her students as well
as other faculty members she
always had a warm smile for
everyone. Dr. Anover, department chair of World Languages
said that, "Professor Imamura-
Seyller's passing is a great loss to
CSUSM."
As an adjunct professor, she
showed her dedication to the students and the language program
by exceeding the traditional
involvement of part time professors. Her accomplishments and
involvement in the program show
her dedication t o her students and
CSUSM.

Discussions between staff and President Haynes

Closing a week of discussions
with the three major bodies on
campus, President Haynes met
with the Cal State San Marcos
s taff on Friday, Oct. 5, as part
of a series of open f orums to
address concerns on campus.
Having met with students
and faculty earlier in the week,

On Oct. 2, Cal State University
San Marcos President Haynes
held an open forum for students
during University Hour in the
President's Boardroom.
ASI President, Caitlin Gelrud,
opened the forum, introducing
President Haynes t o the seven
students in attendance. Haynes
then welcomed everyone and
opened the floor for discussion.
From skateboarding fines to
new majors, students presented
Haynes with a wide variety of
questions during the hour-long
forum.
Sophomore, Sara Planchon,
questioned President Haynes
missed a class or an event and
always made herself available
for her students. She promoted
Japanese language and culture at
every opportunity she had.
Imamura-Seyller created and
hosted the Japanese culture
week at CSUSM, a weeklong
event with several opportunities to attend talks, art displays,
and movies about Japanese cul-
President Haynes sat down with
a room f ull of CSUSM staff to
hear their concerns about salaries, personnel shortages, and
distribution of labor.
While student and faculty
a ffairs command attention with
relative ease, the staff (the smallest body on campus) does not
always receive t he same degree
of consideration.
One of the primary concerns
brought up to President Haynes
centered on an overall budget
shortage across the various
s taff departments. As a result
o f• these shortages, staff personnel are now experiencing
an inability for salary growth
(in-range progression), even as
they face increasing responsibilities. To f urther compound
the issue, departments cannot
open up new positions to help
delegate responsibilities to meet
the demands of a rapidly growing campus.
In response t o salary concerns, President Haynes concurred with the s taff's concern
and explained that t he Budget
Committee is " being charged
t o look at and discuss the pros
and cons of a centralized pool

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

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

CSUSM's LGBT community hosts an
event of tolerance and understanding
BY SHIRLEY BARAJAS
Pride Staff Writer
"Getting Out" that is what
the "Coming Out Monologues"
is about. Sponsored by the
LGBTA, LGBTQ and the ASI
Women's Center the "Coming
Out Monologues" will be held
October 11th at 7p.m. in the
Clarke Field House.
According to Bryce Manning, one of the directors
of the event, the title was
inspired from the famous play
"The Vagina Monologues".
Manning said the difference
between "The Vagina Monologues" and "The Coming Out
Monologues" is that this is not
a play, instead it is a collection
of speakers talking about their
experiences with "coming
out".
Another inspiration toward
organizing this event is the date
it will be held. October is known
as the LGBT history month and
October 11th is National Coming
Out Day. Not only will this be
an opportunity for the audience
to learn about the LGBT community but also to understand
how the community handles
talking about the subject for the
first time.
There will be several speakers at the event including Manning. Two other speakers will
be coming from Massachusetts
one of them will speak from a
transgender perspective and the
other from a straight ally perspective. Among other speakers there are some from the
CSUSM community.
Living in a heterosexual world
is not easy for non-heterosexual
individuals to talk about the
topic freely. Most speakers tell
their stories about acceptance
in a heterosexual society.
Although the performance
is about the LGBT community
everyone is welcome.
"I expect the audience to
walk away with a sense of
understanding and learn new
ideas about the subject" said
Manning.

Cleaning up
Organize your household chores •forFree!
Are you sick and tired of cleaning up after your roommates? Is
your place a mess because you
can't compile an efficient chore
list?
The people at ChoreBuster.net.
have devised an innovative web
solution that streamlines the process of making a chore list that,
in effect, makes everyone happy.
Chore Buster describes its services as a simple four-step process on the front page of the website.
Step One: "Enter in people
and chores." A fter registering,
the main user inputs the names
and e-mails of everyone partaking in the chores. Options
include the percentage of chores
that the given person is capable
of doing. The advanced options
include the capability to limit
chores on certain days based on
work schedules and other obligations. ChoreBuster also provides
the option for users to input
vacation dates, which excludes
the given user from the schedule
for the time in which he or she
is away.
Step Two: "Specify how hard/
undesirable each chore is, and
how often it should be done."
A fter inputting all personal
0 Enter In people and chores
Q Specify how hard / undesirable each chore is, and how often it should be done
0 ChoreBuster automatically generates a fair schedule of chores
QScheduleemailed to you daily or weekly-no need totogin
information, users next create a
list of all the chores necessary.
Users input the chore's name,
how often the chore should be
done, and the chore's rating.
ChoreBuster's rating system
allows users to rate the difficulty
and undesirability of a given
chore based on a point system
that includes "Nothing (0), Easy
(1), Fairly Easy (2), Normal (3),
Above Normal (4), Hard (5),
Extreme (7), and Insane(14)."
Step Three: "ChoreBuster
Automatically Generates a fair
schedule of chores." ChoreBuster
makes sense of this feature on
their website, "when you assign
a rating to a chore, it means that
chore is worth a certain number
of points. Whenever someone
is assigned a chore, they are
given the amount of points that
the chore is worth. ChoreBuster
ensures fairness by always giving
the 'next' chore to the person
with the lowest score."
Step Four: "Schedule is
emailed to you daily of weekly
- no need to log in." The schedule delivery really gives ChoreBuster its "wow" factor. Users
select whether they would like to
receive an e-mail with their generated chores weekly or daily,
and from there an e-mail is conveniently sent out to all of the
users on the account.
ChoreBuster.net is redefining
the art of scheduling, and making
life easier for college students
everywhere.

Saturday, Oct. 13
By Toria Savey /Pride Staff Writer
OKTOBERFEST
Cost: $3 or 2 for $5
Place: San Diego, specifically the
neighborhood of Ocean Beach
What: Yes, many radio stations have been
broadcasting live from Oktoberfests all over
the county for the past few weeks. What
is unclear is why they even bothered. The
official October beer capital of San Diego
is the neighborhood of Ocean Beach. It's cheap. There's music on
two stages. Sausages. Beer. Stereotypical bar maids and a whole lotta
lederhosen. It's as close to Munich as you're going to get in one day.
SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Cost: $7 and up
Place: Ultrastar Mission Valley (Hazard Center)
What: With anywhere from six to sixteen films showing per night,
the festival lasts from October 11th- 18th and can still barely cram
in all the movies, panels and discussions. With films ranging into
every subject matter, you should be able to get even your most closeminded friends to put aside their inhibitions about the indie nature
of 'film festivals'. If you don't
find something that appeals to
you, I'll eat my hat. Actually, eat
your own hat, because obviously
there's something wrong with
you already.
LITTLE ITALY PRECIOUS FESTA
Cost: Nothing!
Place: San Diego again, this time in Little Italy
What: While the cost is technically nothing, parking could set you
back $7. Or there's always the trolley which will take you almost to the
heart of the festa, Italian for 'festival'. With over 100,000 attendees,
the festival starts on October 13th with a chalk drawing exhibition, and
continues with the bulk of food, entertainment and vendors on October
14th. Oddly enough, their
website also mentions sausages
as being integral, though this
time of the Italian variety. Little
Italy is also known for its art
community which is celebrated
during several different annual
events, and will no doubt be on
display at the festa.
MCAS MIRAMAR AIR SHOW
Cost: Nothing! Again!
Place: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar
What: Quite simply, lots of planes. Maybe
you have a child who would be amused.
Maybe you're trying to go deaf by the age
of thirty. Maybe you never got over those childhood dreams of being
afighterpilot. Featuring everything from military demonstrations to
wingwalkers (yes, that's just what it sounds like), there's enough to
> keep the young, old, and even attention deficit entertained.
ANNUAL TIJUANA
TEQUILA TOUR
Cost: OkrPricey. $39.
Place: leaves from Old Town
Transit Center, San Diego
What: Perhaps you don't
drink tequila. That's a shame.
But it leaves plenty more for
the rest of us. While this tour
is definitely a little expensive,
you travel to Mexico by bus
and arrive as the Tequila Expo,
a holy land for aficionados,
where you can taste over 100
different tequilas. Actually,
it's unlimited tasting of 100
different tequilas. Did you
catch the UNLIMITED part?!?

Happy Hour at the
Belly Up Tavern:
For you AND your grandma
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
This week my assignment was
to check out the Belly Up Tavern's
happy hour. Every Friday the
Belly Up has a happy hour with
a live band, dancing and a cheap
five-dollar cover charge.
The Belly Up Tavern is a North
County treasure, located in the
heart of beautiful Solana Beach.
The happy hour session is from
5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays.
There's a different band scheduled
for each session. A 21-year-old age
limit is enforced in the tavern.
I had been to the Belly Up before
and found the intimate venue to be
an entertaining local spot to see a
show in North County. However,
to my surprise, the Belly Up hapgy
hour caters to a more mature
crowd.
There weren't any drink specials
or food specials for the happy hour.
The only budget advantage was
the five dollar cover charge. Fortunately, the band was extremely
entertaining. As a "nostalgia"
band, they were experts in all
kinds of party dance classics from
the 40's to the 90's.
Five men and two women were
all wearing costumes and energizing the crowd. One of the women
was playing the sax while the other
did vocals. The men played keyboard, vocals, upright base, guitar
and drums. Everyone able to
dance was dancing. It was enjoyable to see people take pleasure
in themselves, even though I felt
like a junior high kid at the senior

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

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

The new
executive
raises
Two weeks a fter the
approved raises, CSU
Trustee's decision
remains controversial
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
The California Faculty Association,
with the backing of state government officials and students, has officially mounted
its campaign against the compensation
practices of Chancellor Reed and the Cal
State University Administration.
While own President Haynes is among
those executives that recently received a
pay raise, she is not the target of any of the
CFA's criticism, unlike many other CSU
presidents.
Citing fraudulent spending on compensation for executives as well as unreliable data to j ustify pay raises, the CFA,
Senator Yee, Assemblyman Portantino,
and students plan to convene at the State
Capitol to urge Governor Schwarzenegger
to sign A.B. 1430 and S.B. 190 into law,
legislation that will considerably reform
current executive compensation policy in
the CSU.

(Top left) In support of a national student walk-out for the Jena 6, students protest in front
of University Hall in the free speech zone. (Above) Students get signatures for a petition
demanding the release of the Jena 6.
As racial tension in America continues
to build, students on campus voiced their
opinions on the issue of racism at a protest on campus held Monday, Oct. 1.
This protest was in accordance with a
national student walk out to support the
Jena 6 of Jena, L a. The protest's purpose
was to raise awareness and get individuals to sign a petition to t he governor of
Louisiana demanding the freedom of the
Jena 6.
In the town of Jena, La., with a population of less than 3,000, the whole story
began with an incident regarding a tree.
The most common version of the story
is that an A frican American student
requested permission to sit under an oak
tree where white students usually congregated. On the morning a fter he sat there,
t hree nooses were found hanging f rom a
tree, a symbol for the Ku Klux Klan.
According to alternative news sources,
including an article carried by K FMB
Channel 8, several Jena school administrators say that the tree was never strictly
used by Caucasian students, and there

ASI and Women's Center sponsor University Police Rape Aggression Defense
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
The Rape Aggression Defense System
r eturns to CSUSM this October. ASI and
the Women's Center are sponsoring the
first twenty students that RSVP, and there
is no cost for r eturning students.
The program focuses on empowering
women, and prepares them to b e aware of
their surroundings. R.A.D. System's objective is " to develop and enhance the options
of self defense, so they may become viable
considerations to t he woman who is
attacked."
This course for women spans over 4 sessions: October 9, 11, 16, 18. Each session
r uns f rom 4 p.m.-7 p.m. This semester's
instructors are Officer McLean, Officer
Panza, CSO rep. Casey Burns, Student
Health rep. Cathy Nguyen, and CSUSM
Foundation rep. Sarah Derho.
Officer McLean explained, "We teach
concepts as tools for women to put into
their toolbox. We o ffer them choices,
should they ever be faced with an assault
situation."
According to R.A.D Systems (http://
www.rad-systems.com), over 250,000
women have taken this course. Lawrence
N. Nadeau founded the program in 1989,
and since then the program has grown to
be the largest organization of its kind.
A s Officer Panza explained, CSUSM
has offered the course since the summer
of 1996. Instructors have taught the course
to students, teachers and faculty here, as
well at other institutions.
CSUSM graduate student Lissa Lim took
the course in 2004. Sharing her experience, Lissa explains that she learned to be
more assertive. " I learned a lot and gained
confidence in my ability to defend myself.
It was great! Each woman learned that it
doesn't matter if you're big or small. We
were all able to use what we had learned,
successfully." Lissa also described the
simulations at the end of the course in
which, instructors wearing padded suits
would act out attack scenarios while students practiced defending themselves.
The course emphasizes awareness, prevention, and basic defense techniques.
Officer McLean stated, "we teach individuals to heighten their awareness level." J

of $29, 775 from the Board of
Trustees despite "a resounding
vote of no confidence from the
faculty (78% voted "no confidence"), a student petition for
no confidence in the president,
and revelations that he has used
his position to help hunters shoot
endangered species in Africa."
Similarly, President of Sonoma
State, Ruben Arminana, got a
$28,113 raise in spite of a "no
confidence vote" vote by threequarters of the faculty.
Fresno State University President, John Welty, recipient of a
$35,011 raise, received his raise
just after his school lost a pivotal
gender discrimination lawsuit,
costing Fresno State $5.85 million.
The report also accuses the CSU
Administration of "golden parachute" deals, which involves generously compensating departed
administrators even after they
stop working, otherwise known
as "no show jobs".
Former CSU Monterey Bay
President left his job in 2005 for
a six-figure job at UNESCO and
was left on the CSU payroll for
a year after his departure, earning $157,932 for literally no work.
Even after executive compensation
reforms, "retiring CSU Dominguez Hills President James Lyons
received a check for $103,460 on
his way to a new job in Maryland"
according to CFA's report.
The CFA also attacked the CSU
executive compensation policy
from a different angle, identifying discrepancies in the salary
comparison study that suggested
a 46% salary lag for CSU executives. This study, kndwn now
as the Mercer study, formed the
basis for Chancellor Reed's proposal at the last Board of Trustees meeting, a proposal that ultimately resulted in the latest round
of executive pay raises.
The CFA, with the help of
Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, recently called for the CSU to
disclose the entire Mercer report.
They also released a report critical of the parts of the study that
are public, claiming, "at least three
issues raise serious questions about
the conclusions drawn by Mercer
and acted upon by CSU officials."
Among these issues, the report
cites some factors not calculated
in the Mercer study, including
the monthly $1,000 car allowance
and the $50,000-$60,000 yearly
housing allowance which is more
than some CSU faculty salaries.
This evidence leads the CFA and
others to question thé accuracy of
the perceived salary lag.
This report also identifies the
unnecessary confidentiality ofthe
report, which the CSU Administration and Mercer identify as
"trade secrets". Meanwhile, the
CFA and Assemblyman Portantino maintain, "compensation
surveys should be transparent,
not proprietary." Assemblyman
Portantino said, "it is absolutely
absurd that a public institution
refuses to provide information to
the public they are serving and I
am calling on them to, once and
for all, release the entire report."
The Chancellor's O ffice has
not o fficially responded to the
latest reports and criticisms,
but he has maintained his support of the data found in the
Mercer study.

A police r eport was never

and t he students in question
received p unishment t hrough
the school's j udiciary system,
but were not expelled. According t o several news sources,
some members of the c ommunity agree with the school's
s uperintendent that the nooses
were j ust a p rank.
Reactions throughout the
country have been varied. Over
20,000 people marched in Jena to
protest racial injustice.
Knowledge of the situation
in Jena, and response to it, had
remained small here on campus
until quite recently.

In Vista, an inquiry about holding a Mexican Independence Day

The Escondido City Council
voted to ban renting living space

overturned in the courts after
two million dollars were spent on
legal fees.
"I found out [about Jena]

months ago and after taking a
class on social injustice in the
judicial system, I researched
more about the Jena 6 and realized how the theory in that class
pertained to an actual event...I
just couldn't sit there when injustice went on," said campus protest organizer Diana Wong.
an announcement appeared on
the inside doors of the UVA stating that the alleged ban on Harry
Potter was a hoax. According to
UVA staff, the announcement of
the ban was designed to ignite
student interest in a program on
banning books and censorship.
According to Mike Sapp, treasurer of the Resident Hall Council, "It was a hoax just to get
people interested; because nothing else worked... it had been
planned before school started."
Freshman David McFarlane, a
UVA resident, said, "It's defi-
nitely a way to get attention,
especially the way they made the
letter look official. But I'm sure it
pissed some people off."
Censorship is a fairly solemn
subject. In this case, it spells out
an effective advertising opportunity for the UVA.

�Chargers lose
t hird s traight
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to your
1-3 San Diego Chargers.
The Chargers needed to set things
straight Sunday. Coming off of two tough
losses on the road, a home match-up
against a mediocre Kansas City Chiefs
team was supposed breathe fife into the
struggling Chargers, and give fans something to cheer about.
Qualcomm Stadium was buzzing with
anticipation prior to Sunday's start. The
support was greeted as early as the Chargers posted the first ten points of the
game. With an early Nate Kaeding field
goal and an impressive LaDainian Tomlinson rushing touchdown, made possible
by a Philip Rivers pass to Wide Receiver,
Vincent Jackson for 39 yards.
The Chiefs got on the board early in the
second with a 21-yard field goal by Dave
Rayner.
With 6:55 left in the second, Nate Kaeding kicked season best, 51-yard field goal,
to improve the Chargers lead to 13-3.
Kaeding struck again at the end of the
second quarter with yet another field goal,
this time for 38 yards.
With Kaeding's field goal, the Chargers
took a 10 point lead into half time, appeasing fans until Kansas City struck hard in
the third quarter.

Just minutes after Chiefs kicker, Dave
Rayner kicked a 41-yard field goal, Chiefs
quarterback, Damon Huard passed to tight
end, Tony Gonzalez for a 51 yard touchdown, tying the game up at 16-16.
The Chiefs took the lead with 11:46 left
in the fourth quarter, as Huard passed to
rookie wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe, for
51 yards and the touchdown.
Philip Rivers cracked under pressure
with seven minutes to go in the game,
giving up a fumble that was recovered by
rookie cornerback, Tyron Brackenridge
for a 50 yard defensive touchdown.
The Chargers failed to mount a comeback in the final minutes of the game,
making the final score Chiefs 30, Chargers 16.
The loss pushed the Chargers to a
record of 1-3, and left fans questioning
the legitimacy of their new head coach,
Norv Turner. Fans went as far as to chant
"MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!" late in
the game, in reference to former coach,
Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired
shortly after last season.
Schottenheimer led the Chargers to an
NFL best 14-2 record last season, but was
shown the door after a series of disagreements with Chargers general manager
A.J. Smith.
The Chargers look to get back on the right
track next Sunday, as they face the Denver
Broncos, in Denver, at 1:15p.m. on CBS.

Carlsbad coast offers wine tasting as a c heap alternative to ¿the b ar h opping scene
- BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
Pride Staff Writer
I do not think of myself
as much of a wine connoisI seur. Although I do enjoy
wine I am more interested in hanging out with
friends and enjoying the experience.
When
my
friend asked me
a few weeks ago
to try.a wine tasting in downtown
Carlsbad
I
was suspicious. In my opinion,
Carlsbad represents a spot for a
few pints at the pub rather than a
cultured wine tasting.
In order to appease my friend
and try something new I
went anyway.
What surprised
me most was
how unpretentious the experience was. I
always imagined wine tasting to correspond with words like;
complex, smoky yet fruity, and
appealing.
My friend took me to
Witch Creek Winery on
Grand Avenue and Pacific
Coast Highway. The comical man behind the bar was
cheerful and unassuming.
He created a welcoming
atmosphere for the knowledgeable wine drinker and
novice alike. He offered
descriptions along with a recipe
for every bottle we purchased.
The wine selection wàs predominately red although there
were a few whites selected, along
with one cider.
Walking inside
the winery was
like being transported toNorthern California.

Witch Creek makes their own
wines and is a surprisingly f un
and inexpensive experience with
friends. A tasting costs five dollars and comes with a custom wine
glass printed with a black cat on the
front. I was so impressed with the
relaxed atmosphere that I decided
to try another Carlsbad
winery.

Upon entering the winery, we
felt an immediately warm and

of various wines and gifts, while
the periphery wall was lined with

the bar surrounded with tables
and chairs thai created an appealing atmosphere. The back patio
was open and included a fountain
that transported the clientele to a

themed wines and six dollars for
three house wines
and
three
dollars
gave
us a choice of three select beers.
The winery also offered pairings
of cheese and BBQ with the fifteen-dollar tasting.
A woman behind the bar
offered us the selections of tastings and gave an explanation for
each wine. The winery also provided a tasting list to make notes
for future reference.
The ambiance was equally
approachable for seasoned wine
tasters as well as beginners.
For a quick getaway on a student budget I recojnmend a trip
to the coast of Carlsbad and try a
tasting. You may find a love for
wine you never knew you had,
or just enjoy the atmosphere with
friends.

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

Amazonmp3 offers better quality sound for a cheaper price
On September 25, Amazon.
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
com, one of America's leading
e-commerce websites announced
the sale of Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free MP3s for the
same price, and cheaper than the
heavy hitters in the digital music
market; most notably iTunes.
iTunes, along with the majority
of other digital music providers
implement a tactic deemed necessary by many of the major record
labels, called Digital Rights Management, or more casually, DRM.
DRM is a method of copy protection that defends against the unauthorized duplication of a file. The
most infamous implementation
is that of the iTunes Music Store.
iTunes uses MPEG-4 AAC DRM
encoding that locks files into the
iTunes player itself, and disallows
users to play tracks purchased in
the iTunes Music Store on any
portable device other than Apple's
own iPod. There are simple workarounds (i.e. burning the purchased tracks to a CD-R and reimporting), but none are as elementary as simply being able to
freely move the files around.
Amazon, who is among the
e-commerce elite and one of
the first major companies to
sell goods online, has the right
vision on the sale of digital
music. The masses have been

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

�D ive " Into T h e W ild"
Nature, friendship and individualism cross borders and trek across thousands of miles in new stirring film
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
Even though countless movies come
out every year, some good and others not,
rarely do we encounter those profound and
brilliant movies that inspire us to change
the way we look at the world around us.
This month, audiences will finally be able
to see one such film. Based on a true story,
"Into the Wild" is Sean Penn's film adaptation of a book by the same name written
by novelist Jon Krakauer.
"Into the Wild" is about the real life
adventures of Christopher McCandless
(played masterfully and intuitively by
Emile Hirsch), a 1990 Emory University
graduate who donated his entire savings
of $24,000 to OXFAM and left his life
and family behind to journey across North
America into Alaska. Having assumed
the alias "Alexander Supertramp," Alex
meanders impulsively across the U.S. and
even into Mexico* ultimately ending up in
Alaska,
Hirsh depicts the whimsical and freespirited nature of Alex with unrivaled honesty, and through his portrayal, endears
the audience, who comes to understand
Alex's reverence for the beauty of the wild.
Hirsch's portrayal is genuine as he adapts
to the changes Alex undergoes within the
story. The entire story matures as Alex
discovers himself and comes to understand what joy is, capturing the message
of Christopher McCandless' story.
However, it is not the depiction of Alex
alone that warrants "Into the Wild" such
praise. Do not be mistaken in thinking
that this film is only about man's escape
to nature. The heart of the film connects

desert.
humanity with nature in a dynamic way,
emphasizing the importance of both relationships as components of happiness.
Sean Penn impressively develops the
complexity of Alex's character by striking an important balance between Alex's
adoration of nature and the relationships
he develops with the people he encounters
along the way.
The cinematography and photography
provide a majestic backdrop for Alex's
travels, generating a sanctuary for Alex's
escape from his dysfunctional family, the
material fixations of contemporary America, and ritualistic living. His encounters
in the wild are captivating and moving.

Pride Staff Writer
Beginning 12 p.m. on Oct.
2, free tickets to local theater
performances across San Diego
County will be available thanks
in part to the Theater Communication Group's third annual Free
Night of Theater program.
The Theater Communication
Group (TCG) is an organization
that helps promote live theater in
the community. Their mission is
to introduce theater to the general public, especially to those
not normally drawn to the arts.
In 2005, TCG teamed up with the
Association of Performing Arts
Service Organizations to create
"The Free Night of Theater" program. This year, 25 to 30 communities will be participating in the
program. That is up from the 16
communities that participated in
2006.
There are free tickets available for 14 productions in San
Diego County. Anyone interested
can reserve tickets by going to
www.freenightoftheater.net. The
website also includes all the productions available, their descriptions, and their venues.
The Christian Youth Theater
(CYT) for Kids at Mission Hills
Theatre in San Marcos will participate in the program.
"This is our first time
participating in the program and we are looking forward to its success. CYT offers wholesome entertainment for the
entire family," said Cathie
Stanner, Managing Director of CYT. The theater
will present 'Seussical', a
musical based oil the childhood stories of Dr. Seuss.
The production -will take
place at the CYT Theater
in San Marcos on Oct. 26
at 7 p.m..
Some other productions are:
"The Turn of the Screw", "MUERTOS: A Day of the Dead Play", and
"Cadenza: Mozart's Last Years"
in San Diego. Other participating
cities include Chula Vista, Solana
Beach, Escondido, and El Cajon.
College students are one of
the groups targeted by the Free
Night of Theater program. Live
theater does not typically draw
in the young crowd but with free
ticket offerhope is that
fact will
soon begin
to
fade.
Some product i o ns
are great
for the entire
family. Others
involve scandal and murder.
Some are timeless classics while
others promise a good laugh. A
night at the theater could also
make for a romantic date - she
doesn't need to know the tickets were free. And, if that isn't
enough of a motivation, many

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

Speakeasy Ales and Lagers brews Prohibition Ale in San Francisco, California. Steve
Bruce and Forest Gray founded the brewery
in 1997. They originally operated with a 1,000
barrels per year system. Within one years
time, the brewery tripled production in 1998.
In 2000, the brewery began to bottle their
brews for retail. This created a need for a
larger facility and in 2001, the brewery
moved to a larger building and doubled their
capacity once again. The company remains

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

Board of
Trustees
approves
executive
pay raises
F aculty a nd s tudents
o utraged o ver
a pproved p roposal
BY BENROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
After hearing Chancellor Reed's proposal,
the CSU Board of Trustees voted last Tuesday,
Sept. 18, to increase executive salaries for the
second time this year, this time by an average
of 11 percent. The approved pay raise will grant
CSU presidents and various other CSU executives pay raises retroactive to July 2007, meaning that CSU executives will receive compensation equal to their new salary for the months
since July on top of their immediate raises.
This decision comes in spite of protest from
California Faculty Association, government
officials, and CSU students, whose primary
concern is with the timing of these raises as the
CSU budget is in upheaval, With these new
rounds of raises for executives coinciding with
a thinning budget and a 10 percent student fee
hike, the unpopularity of this decision seems to
have rekindled the tension between CSU executives and the rest of the faculty and students.
CFA president Lillian Taiz, speaking on behalf
of the CFA, criticized the proposal and the CSU
Board of Trustees' decision at in her address to
the Board at Tuesday's meeting. "Your actions
today make it very clear that executive salaries
are the only issues this board seems determined
to address. We wish you would find the same
level of determination when dealing with skyrocketing fees and overcrowded classrooms that
you do when providing executives raise."
Lt. Governor John Garamendi, a member of
the Board by merit o fhis office, expressed concern over the proposed salary increases. "This
is clearly tied to a student fee increase. I cannot
think of a worse way to convey yourselves to
the legislature when you are going to have ask
for more money in the budget process in the
coming months."
Garemendi also requested that the board put
off the proposed salary increases until the next
Board of Trustees meeting pending passage of
AB 1430 and SB 190 as law from the Governor's office. These pieces of legislation would
increase the transparency of executive salary
discussions and limit the amount of money
executives can make for their work.
In a conference call with reporters last Thursday, Sept. 20, Chancellor Reed stated that "one
of the things that we're going to do.. .is set that
up to allow the Governor and the Legislature to
'buy out' that fee increase."

Board of Trustees, the Chancellor justified the executive salary
increases based on data collected
by a private f irm that suggests
CSU executive salaries lag by 46
percent. Despite discrepancies
in the reliability and accuracy
of this data, the Chancellor will
continue to work to close this
purported salary gap, aiming to
close it completely by 2010.
Since the California Postsecondary Commission halted its
executive salary studies based on
inadequate data on CSU executive benefits, Chancellor Reed
commissioned Mercer Human
Resource Consultation to conduct comparative salary studies.
BJJ, both in self-defense techniques
and in ground submissions. At the
start of the class, students warm
up with simple partner exercises.
From there, students learn positional control techniques, as well
as various joint locks and chokes
from these positions. Unlike some
other martial arts, students can
practice most BJJ techniques at
full speed against a resisting partner, which has the advantage of
giving students a much more realistic learning experience. After a
fair share of practice, students get
the chance to try their newly mastered moves on each other in brief
sparring matches at the end of the
class.
Sophomore, Alex Wang, f requently attends the course and
explains that he decided to t ry it
out because "I had f ree time and
had an interest in martial arts."
When asked what he enjoyed
most about the class, Alex stated
that "learning to defend yourself
When asked why his office chose
t o commission the Mercer group
instead of supply the necessary
data to CPEC, the Chancellor
stated that "the Mercer Group is
a nationally respected organization." Chancellor Reed went on
to explain that the Mercer study
only does a "cash compensation
analysis because it is very d ifficult to get Universities...to disclose all of their benefits." The
limited scope of this study does
raise important questions about
the effectiveness of this study as
a basis for executive compensation decisions like the one made
at Tuesday's meeting.
With the growing awareness of
the CSU faculty, s taff, and students, it is clear that f uture executive raises will not pass without
rigid scrutiny. In an e ffort headed
by the California State Student
Association t o involve the public
in the Board's decisions, students
will soon be able to apply to
become one of two Student Trustees to the CSU Board of Trustees.
Between new legislative regulations, budget crisis, new representation on the Board, and
an unrelenting body of staff
and students, the authority of
the CSU Board of Trustees to
approve executive compensation
increases in the f uture has some
new obstacles to overcome.

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

iPhone delivers iDeal feature;
Apple once again awes consumers with t he^utting edge
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Apple has one upped the technology
industry once again. While still reveling
in the success of the iPod, their new product the iPhone, keeps the company competitive in a lucrative, ultra fast growing
and ever changing industry. The company
began directly selling the iPhone June
29. iPhone seekers can also purchase the
phone through AT&T.
Apple's main offices
are located in Cupertino, California. The
company's last fiscal
year grossed a whopping 19.3 billion dollars. The company
incorporated in 1977 as
Apple Computers. In
January of this year, the
company dropped the
word "Computer" from
their flame and simply
became Apple Inc.
The iPhone combines
multiple uses in one unit. The cellular
phone allows users to snap pictures, listen
to music, send and receive both e-mails and
visual voicemails. The phone also enables
users to browse the internet. Unlike most
cellular phones, the phone uses a virtual
touch screen.
Currently, the 8-Gigabyte iPhone sells
for almost $400 dollars. The initial 8 GB
iPhone dinged consumers $600 dollars,
although it did not discourage scores of
eager consumers from waiting in long
lines. As a reward to it loyal buyers, the
company credited $100 those who bought
it for its original price. The company
dropped the 4 GB version earlier this
month. AT&T will continue to exclusively
sell the phone until 2009 or later. AT&T
offers the phone to customers with a minimum two-year contract. During September and following months, the phone ships
out to foreign countries
such as Germany and
France.
As in any industry,
the iPhone faces fierce
competition.
Other j
companies have r eal-j

*actual quote
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Ten out of ten college students
(I actually just asked two guys in
an elevator and multiplied by five)
agree that college would be perfect
if it weren't for classes. They put a
damper on all the drinking binges
and wild orgies my grandmother
fears. So, let's discuss.
There are different types of classes
involved in ruining the university
experience, which I divide by f rustration level. I like to evaluate them
from one to three "You Can't Be
Serious's." Let's go through two of
my classes and grade them, so then
you can do it to yours.
MUSC 120: After three years
of college, being forced to take an
intro class angered me. I may or
may not have turned bright green
and ripped my clothes yelling,
"TORIA ANGRY." On the first
day, my professor, who reminds me
of a kindly muppet, informs us that
there won't be a midterm or final.
I suddenly fear he's going to make
us all hold hands and Kumbayah it
up. In addition, I'm sure there are
plenty of good people in the class,
but I sat next to the one drawing the
naked woman with cartoon breasts.
Schmuck. The professor having
us all participate in making A fri-
The
National
Hockey
League is about to begin.
My preseason prediction of
last year is correct- Anaheim
Ducks are looking to defend
their cup. But that was last
year and this is this year.
For a larger variety of predictions I am going to tell you
all about both Tim Moore's
and mine, followed* by my
results of simulating 25 seasons on NHL 08.
The first thing I am going
to talk about is the President
Trophy, which goes to the team
with the most points at the end
of the regular season. I believe
that the Detroit Red Wings are
going to walk into the post
season with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs
because they are in the weakest division in hockey. They
get to face a deflated Nashville
Predators, St. Louis Blues,
Chicago Blackhawks and
Columbus Blue Jackets. Tim
Moore lias both the Buffalo
Sabres and Anaheim Ducks
on top of their conferences
while NHL 08 had the Sabres
win the trophy ten times.
The Hart Trophy goes to the
leagues MVP, which I feel is
going to go to the same guy
who won it last year, Sidney
Crosby. The 20 year old Crosby
put the Pittsburgh Penguins on
his shoulders and carried them
into the playoffs and will be
doing it again. Moore believes
that Tampa Bay Lightening's
Vincent Lecavalier will be the
leagues MVP, while NHL 08
had Atlanta Thrashers Ilya
Kovalchuk winning it eight
times.
The Art Ross Trophy goes
to the player with the most
points at the end of the season.
Moore and I are on the same
page with this, believing
that Crosby is going to runaway with the award. I feel
that Crosby is going to hit
the 125 mark this year with
Evgeni Malkin playing on
the same line with him. NHL
08 believes that Kovalchuk is
going to win this award with
103 points.
The Vezina goes to the
top goaltender and I feel that
Roberto Luongo will take
this award over the NHL 08's
choice of Martin Brodeur.
Brodeur lost some talented
players in front of him and
will need to carry the New
Jersey Devils in order for them
to have a good season. Moore
says that the award will be
going to Dominik Hasek who
is coming back after a great
year in Detroit.
But the big predictions come
for the playoffs. I believe that
the Ducks are going to be a
much stronger team come playoff time once, yes I said once
because they are coming back,
Teemu Selanne.and Scott Niedermayer come back. They will
be winning the Stanley Cup
over the Philadelphia Flyers in
4 games. The Flyers will have
room to add Peter Forsberg or
some other veteran talent at
the trade deadline and make a
strong run in the playoffs.
Moore has the Penguins
winning the cup over the Red
Wings, while NHL 08 has
the Sabres winning the cup
over the San Jose Sharks in 5
games.

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

A source of heated regional
debate in San Diego, the matter
of the best Mexican food place
is as divisive as it is controversial. Everybody wants to believe
they know where to find the best
California Burrito, but like other
touchy issues, not much room for
compromise exists.
Located off of Carmel Mountain Road in Rancho Bernardo,
Jalapenos deserves nothing
less than eternal praise as the
"Mecca" of the California Burrito. Although the journey to
Rancho Bernardo is long and
arduous, this pilgrimage is an
absolute necessity for any true
California Burrito connoisseur.
While most San Diegans are
biologically equipped to handle
Mexican food with little discomfort, the average eater, native
or foreign, faces life-threatening challenges when eating at
the run-of-the-mill taco shop.
Fortunately for the maladapted,
Jalapenos cooks their food with
vegetable oil instead of lard,
allowing the stomach to greet the
California Burrito with peaceful
adoration.
The Burrito (yes, it needs to be
capitalized) itself represents the
pinnacle of Burrito craftsmanship. Off the menu, the Jalapeflos California Burrito includes
your standard carne asada, fries,
cheese, and guacamole, but I suggest holding the guacamole as it
does tend to overwhelm the other
vital flavors in the burrito here.
From the excellent array of
salsas you may want to go with
the simple red hot sauce. Unlike
the harsh and unforgiving hot
sauce of most other taco shops,
Jalapenos provides their customer
with a smooth and balanced blend
of flavor and spice that complements a California Burrito unlike
any other salsa to date.
When ready, the composed
and neat exterior of the burrito
deceives the eager customer,
who at this point is completely
unaware of the chaotic splendor
within. The first bite breaches
the calm exterior and unleashes
torrents of incredible flavors. In
a daze, the remainder of the burrito quickly disappears, the final
bite as glorious as the first.
In such a volatile and competitive field, the search for the best
Cali Burrito is unending. The
California Burrito at Jalapenos
may not be the best; I just haven't
found a better one yet.
H ALO 3: THE ONE RING
T O RULE THEM A LL
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
It has many names to it - the killer-app,
the epic saga, or the best 15 seconds in
video gaming. It only takes one word for
people to weigh in exactly what the title
means - amazing.
The third and final installment of the
gaming saga that is Halo for the Xbox 360
hit shelves at midnight at various retailers
across the nation. Many people lined up
outside Gamestops and EB Games as early
as 9 o'clock to be among the first to get
their copies.
"Halo 3 is much more than a video
game release—it's the biggest entertainment event of the year," said Peter Moore,
the former vice president for Microsoft
gaming and interactive division.
As part of the promotion for the game,
Pontiac and Microsoft teamed up to give
gamers a chance to play the game in
San Francisco and New York on IMAX
screens earlier this month. Participants
received copies of the game prior to its
launch date.
The story of Halo centers around
Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN117, or Master Chief for short, and the
war between the United Nations Space
Command and an alien army called the
Covenant. In the climax of the previous installment, Master Chief has stowed
away aboard a Covenant vessel that is
headed for earth, which sets up the final
chapter.
Halo is this generation's touchstone for
pop culture in the same way that Star Wars
and Lord of the Rings has for earlier generations.
Earlier this past summer, a few gamers
were treated to an online beta test to give
a glimpse of what people will be in store
for - Mongoose ATVs, new multi-player
maps, and character remodels.
Some of the other new additions
included will be bigger, badder weapons,
bubble shields, 8 new vehicles, an equipment Forge system, 4-player co-op campaigns, new levels, and a high-definition
1080p output to name a few.
In 2004, the launch of Halo 2 sold over
two million copies on its first 24 hours
generating roughly $125 million in revenue. Pundits have expected that number to
rise to over $200 million due to the three
editions that were made available to consumers ranging anywhere from $59.99 to
$129.99.

Pitting tla "OH SX6# YEAH" in
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
I knew things were going to go well
when an adorable little usher said,
"Please DO NOT ask us to turn down
the sound, because we CAN NOT. This
is IMAX." Well, alright then.
I lost faith in the first 30 seconds, with
a smarmy premise that actually includes
a deep male voice saying, "But we were
already too late." You expect him to say,
"DOT DOT DOT," just in case the audience didn't get the suspense.
But then something amazing happened. Asteroid-type objects started
hurtling across the screen and the theater started shaking from the sound.
Within three minutes, it blew my mind.
I'll give you an overview of the movie
and then we can talk significantly more
about IMAX, which was the important
part. The kid from Even Stevens on the
Disney Channel is all grown up, gets his
first car, and then finds himself embroiled
in a robotic civil war from outer space
which has finally spread to Earth. It
involves a chase with a police car and a
Camero, which I never thought I would
see outside of the 1980s, and lines like,
"It's you and me, Megatron." There's also a
totally unrealistic hot blonde systems analyst. Every 15 year old boy in the audience
was like, "HEY! She's wearing a mesh
shirt!" I found myself at several points
humming, "Hiiiiighway to the DANGER
ZONE" since that was just about the only
thing missing from the cheesy writing and
crap soundtrack.
But man, I would see it a second time and
maybe even a third time just for the special effect^. I thought everyone was joking
about the beauty of IMAX, but there were
Fall TV line-up
honestly moments that I
felt like I was running for
my life with the characters orflying
in the Air Forcé. Tlfo pomt of view
flying scenes were unbelievable, and the
part at the beginning with the base and
the.. .well, you'll know what I'm talking
about when you see it.
Suffice to say, the movie won't be
winning any Academy Awards, but
that's not the film's purpose. It can
be summed up best in the words
of the friend who accompanied
me, "Dude, that was amazing. But if I had written it, I would have just
had them credit me as
'Anonymous.'"

If you're a college student, fall is about one thing: the fall semester. Life f or the next few months takes a sideline to homework, essays, classes and reading» Between your busy
schedule, it would be nice to see a few good shows here and there, right? If you're like us, getting into a new show is a commitment for an entire season, maybe even a whole series.
To save you from wasting your time on a show that gets canceled midseason or you get tired of, we've taken the liberty of assigning a guide for the average student.
ÜH
¡I
teil
v
Ib»r
i
# # ##
9 P.M. - Heroes
Mondays are never fun, but the
show that makes them a bit more
enjoyable is back. The second
season began Monday, but one
episode shouldn't set you back
too far, considering the network
promises a whole new adventure.
The show is a modern take on the
Marvel comics of yesterday and
the cast is hot.
9 P.M. • Scrubs
We were going to recommend
The Office but I wanted to give
Scrubs a shout out as well.
Then I thought, why not both.
The Office starts at 9 pm and
Scrubs immediately follows
I
#
10 P.M. - Journeyman
And a new one from NBC right
afterwards, if you don't want to
touch the remote after Heroes. A
little bit mystery, little sci-fi, half a
tablespoon of romance, and you
have a show about a journalist
who keeps getting sucked into the
past and changing the things he
finds there. But why?!? Hopefully,
it doesn't get canceled before we
find out.
at 9:30 prir both shows are
hilarious, consist of a relatively
young cast and don't consist of
a hard to follow plot line, which
is always good if you can't
commit to every episode, every
week.
Images courtesy ofNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox networks.
9 P.M. - House
It's Tuesday. You're already
asking if it's Friday and you
find yourself more and more
sarcastic. This returning hit
series is just what the doctor
ordered. It's dry. It's edge. It's
completely different than any
of the other doctor dramas on
primetime. In addition, new cast
members left and right should
keep even followers of the show
on their toes.
9 P.M.
Moonlight
This has the potential to be a
disaster. Hot guy is a vampire
and a private investigator (Angel,
anyone?). We think it probably
has a 50/50 chance of getting
canceled, but...what if it turns out
to be really good?
10 P.M.-Cane
After your homework break
between 9 and 10, return to
the screen for a family drama
with more than a few twists.
The Duque family runs a rum
and sugar business and fights
against outsiders and each other
to keep it solvent. Featuring
Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno
and Jimmy Smits - the show
should be incredible.
Women's Murder Club
We should put both these shows
in those inflatable sumo suits
and make them wrestle. Unlike
Moonlight, this show has some
tried and true TV actresses, well,
solving murders. It's also based
on a best selling book series.
Unless the.network hires dry
witless writers, we think this one
could be around a while.
8 P.M. - Pushing Daisies
Three days into the week. You're
procrastinating. You come
across a show you've never
heard of, Pushing Daisies. Set to
begin October 3rd, it's one of the
critically acclaimed shows of the
season. It's about a guy who can
bring back the dead momentarily
with the touch of his hand. It
sounds interesting enough to
give it a chance.
9 P.M.
Desperate Housewives
Sunday night is a saving grace to
anybody who enjoys the drama f
of Wisteria Lane. If you haven't '
watched an episode of Desperate
Housewives yet, it isn't too late
to get started. The show is full
of scandal, sex, mystery and
satirical humor. Girls love it and
9P.M.
With Bionic Woman, another
critic's darling, and Private
Practice, the offshoot in what will
soon become a Grey's Anatomy
empire, you're going to have to
pick for yourself.
10 P.M.-Dirty Sexy Money
The name alone should draw
you in. But in addition, it's got an
awesome cast, and a bunch of
rich people trying to get away
with doing whatever they want
and failing at it.
so do guys; Trust us. We know a
few who've been brave enough to
give it a siftt.
While this is by no means a
complete list, and you may
choose to follow your own crazy
desire, we here at the Pride
have given you a TV jumpingoff point. Now go watch,
grasshopper.

CSU executive salary increases to be proposed
C hancellor R eed t o p ropose e xecutive s alary i ncreases t o C S U B oard of T rustees
BY BEN ROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
In an effort to close staff salary lag in
the Cal State University system, the Board
of Trustees will meet today, Sept. 18, to
hear a proposal f rom Chancellor Reed that
would increase executive salaries by 11%
for the 2007-2008 academic year..
Past discussion ofraises came in response
to annual studies conducted by the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). According to Paul Brown-
ing, a representative f rom the Chancellor's
Office, "CPEC doesn't do the executive
studies anymore." As a result, Chancellor
Reed plans to pitch the proposed compensation increase on the basis of data f rom
a private firm that the Chancellor's office
commissioned to study salary comparisons. However, issues with the reliability
and credibility of his proposal may provide
a dilemma for the Board of Trustees.
Traditionally, CPEC conducted studies on executive and faculty salaries with
the support of the CSU, UC, and various
government agencies. While CPEC continues to conduct faculty salary studies, it
recently halted its studies on executive salaries in response to self-evaluations that
suggest the methodology in their studies
is outdated and incomplete. In a report
released in March 2007, CPEC concluded
that executive salary studies were substantially incomplete because they could not
"obtain perquisite and benefit information
f rom the [CSU and UC] systems."

Cross country at
Aztec Invitational

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

Lisa Dickenson, coordinator
at the CSUSM Fitness and Wellness Center, spoke for the event
giving students tips on how to
eat healthy on a budget. Dickenson suggests that students shop
together with roommates to
help ease the budget pain. She
also encourages reducing serving portions. Saving time and
money by planning meals for
the week makes healthy eating
much easier. An important part
of healthy eating involves shopping wisely, which means finding the right store for your preferences that can save you money
on the items that you enjoy.
Dickenson advises that a balance between density verses

h ighlights p articipating G reek o rganizations
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
Unless you are already a
member of a sorority or fraternity, the whole Greek concept
may be as confusing as the symbols that represent them.
With rush week upon us, it
could be beneficial to learn a
little bit about what it means to be
Greek. More specifically, what is
Greek life on campus all about?
Most sororities and fraternities are national organizations
that consist of individual chapters within different schools. The
chapters often have an additional
name to distinguish their members from the national society.
For example, Alpha Chi Omega
sisters at Cal State San Marcos
are members of the Iota Tau chapter within the national sorority.
Cal State San Marcos currently
recognizes five Greek chapters.
Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi
Delta and Alpha Pi Sigma are the
three sororities on campus. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau
are the two fraternities.
"But what do these names
mean?" you might ask. If you •
don't know about the Greek
system already, your opinion
about Greek life could rely primarily on commonly fed stereotypes.
"It's different at a smaller
campus. We are not SDSU. It's
more about making friends and
helping the community," said
Khristina Cook, an Alpha Chi
Omega sister. "Being a part of a
sorority or fraternity gives you
an automatic support system that
will do nothing but benefit your
time here on campus."
Originally founded on October
15,1885, Alpha Chi Omega is one
of the oldest and largest sororities in the country. On March
18, 1995, Cal State San Marcos
founded the Iota Tau chapter of
the national sisterhood. The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega is to
provide the advancement of the
intellectual, social and moral culture of its members. Their philanthropic cause is to help victims of
domestic violence. Hidden Valley
House and Casa De Amparo are
just a few organizations the Iota
Tau sisters contribute to. Some
major campus events include
the Carnation Carnival and Mr.
Alpha Chi.
In 1893, ten young women
at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois formed Alpha Xi
Delta. The sorority's purpose is
to inspire women to realize their
potential. Alpha Xi Delta founded
Theta Rho chapter at Cal State
San Marcos in February of 1995.
The Alpha Xi Delta philanthropic
cause is called Choose Children.
"Last week we held a donation
based car wash for a 2 year old
boy named Tanner with Muscular Dystrophy. Our goal was to
reach $1, 000.00 and we did!"
said Alpha Xi Delta president,
Erin Maddox. "In fact, we even
went a little over."
Currently, the Theta Rho chapter has 41 members. The sorority
encourages its sisters to involve
themselves in other activities on
campus as well as maintain excellent academic standing. Their
rush week begins with a picnic
and ends with a jungle theme.
Founded on March 10, 1990,
at San Diego State University,
Alpha Pi Sigma is a relatively

CSUSM Greek organizations seek out new recruits as the campus braces for Rush Week.
new sorority. It has six chapters
in California. Alpha Pi Sigma
is Latina based although it is
important to note that the sorority is not exclusive to Latinas.
Everyone is welcome to join. On
campus, there are currently six
members which makes rush week
an important opportunity for this
new chapter to grow.
"We look forward on expanding this semester," said Alpha Pi
Sigma president, Araceli Archuleta. "During these special events
we hope to get to know potential
new members."
Alpha Pi Sigma's primary philanthropic causes consist of working within the Latino community
and breast cancer awareness.
They are participating in the
"Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer Walk" on October 21st.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the
largest fraternity on campus as
well as nationally. Sigma Alpha
Epsilon has more than 8,200
undergraduates at more than 250
chapters in 48 states. The brotherhood participates in a variety
of athletic activities and even
finds a way to incorporate a love
of sports with an eagerness to
help others. The fraternity hosted
a dodgeball fundraiser earning
$1000 to the Children's Miracle
Network. Other philanthropic
projects include the Relay for
Life Cancer Walk.
"We won intramural championships last year in dodgeball
and football." Said Sigma Alpha
Epsilon president, Shawn McKechnie.
This past Thursday, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon (SAE) hosted a
toga party following the home
soccer game. During rush week,
SAE will host various events
including a co-ed kickball game,
poker & barbeque night, and a
competition night of air hockey,
darts, pool, and video games.
The newest chapter to Cal
State San Marcos is Zeta Beta
Tau. While the fraternity is just
getting its start here on campus,
it has high hopes for the upcoming semester.
"What sets us apart is that we
are a non-pledging fraternity."
Said vice president, Brandon
Jakobovich.
Nationally, Zeta Beta Tau is
the oldest and largest historically Jewish fraternity. Philanthropic projects the fraternity
participates in are CHOC walk,
car wash fundraisers, and blood
drives. Zeta Beta Tau prides itself
on providing a safe environment
for its brothers that focuses on
academic excellence as well as a
positive social network.
Each Greek chapter offers
something different to Cal State
San Marcos but they all share
a common theme: unity. The
terms "sorority" and "fraternity" derive from Latin words
meaning "sister" and "brother."
For any students looking for life
long bonds and a place to belong,
becoming Greek may just be the
right way to go—no chromosomal adjustment necessary.

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

�"Bridging the Gap'
Arts and Lectures program
brings urban performance artist
BY SHIRLEY BARAJAS
Pride Staff Writer
On Wednesday Sept. 12, the
Arts and Lectures program at
Gal State San Marcos presented
"Bridging the Gap." The performance gave students on
campus the opportunity to learn
about African American culture
through music.
Yewande (e-wan-day) Austin,
an urban rock artist who has performed in various colleges and
universities around the world,
introduced students who attended
the event to a different view of
music. She believes music is about
meaning and expression, not just
about billboards and fame. This
inspired many attendees to think
more intensely about changing
the way popular culture is leading music. "I am very happy to
learn that there are still great artists out there, not just a sell out,"
said student Gina Rothermel.
Students also learned about
slavery and its influence in the
world of music. Hip hop and the
blues are just two examples of
the influenced genres. Although
popular a long time after slavery ended, there are many ties
to slavery in this type of music.
According to Austin it all comes
from the "Negro Spiritual."
"The negro spiritual was a creative way for salves to communicate with each other and express
themselves without being punished or killed for doing so," said
Austin. This form of communication was passed from generation to generation and each had
a new way of doing it. Hip-hop
for example is a mixture of jazz,
blues, gospel, and earlier forms
of African-American music.
Not only was this event educational, but it was f un. Throughout the show Yewande had the
audience singing and clapping.
Members of the audience were
even brought up front to serve as
a temporary chorus for Austin,
including the event coordinator
Mrs. Shirley Robinson. Austin
had everyone amazed with her
music and her passion.
At the end of the show, the
audience was allowed to ask
questions and one of the questions, which got all of the audience attention was, why such a
talented artist prefers to perform
a show to educate students rather
than be on billboards and popular
talk shows? Austin explained that
success is different to everyone.

Yewande Austin involves the audience in her performance at the "Bridging the Gap" event held on Sept. 12.
In her case, she always wanted
to be a part of educating people
and by doing this she is successful in her own way. "You have the
power to change the world," she
said. Austin's purpose is just that.
"The best part of my j ob is the
connections I have with people,
and being able to be a part of the
world of knowledge."

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

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

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

Bonds' record is that in 6 years, Alex
Rodriguez will be knocking Bonds off
that pedestal.
Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy
found a way to hurt the game a little bit
more by admitting to gambling on NBA
games he officiated. It will now be up to
David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy
has created for him as Donaghy faces 25
years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have
been forgotten by start of the season as
their will be talk going on about another
NBA player breaking another law or Kobe
Bryant holding out on the Lakers because
they are not up to Kobe's caliber.
But don't get me wrong here, there
was more to the summer that is definitely
worth mentioning.
Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the
Cup, the Spurs won the championship
and talk about Bonds has finally died
down. But the best thing that happened
this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony
Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players
who deserved to be in Cooperstown.
As for my summer, it was one I will
never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100
investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to
win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1
odds and I was also able to improve my
golf swing and my handicap. But the one
thing I am going to miss about summer is
the two months off of doing nothing.

Former Pride editor is now attending
law school.
It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and
half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride
newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like
only yesterday I was spending all of my spare
time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a
group of talented writers and designers.
Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every
year producing stories for the first issue. More
recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^
enough on how important the paper is to the
campus. It brings not only information to the stM
dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students
on campus r un by students. There are many options
for students to participate" kr the paper that range
f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section
to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e|
I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper
was important for my academic career at Cal State
San Marcos.
First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career.
The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took
all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of
our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of
my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews
both in the academic and professional arenas.
Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree,
which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree
Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really
opened up doors for me.
My first motivation right after graduation was to
apply to law school.
I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are
required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires
close reading. This attentive reading has developed
my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit
meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing.
Former Pride staffer is attending graduate
school at CSUSM.
In order t o help with
my writing and analytic skills, I signed
up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The
Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester,
the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief
based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend
the intricate nature of journalism.
Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both
my personal life, academic, and professional life.
I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only
did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I
still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just
to be nice.
My relations through the Pride helped me land my
first job as a writer for a military contract company.
Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped
me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school.
The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of
people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the
writers to try a different beer every week. On the
plus side, he wrote a great article for each one.
As for me, the best experience was management.
The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in
early and proof read was a true example of my leadership.

Former Pride columnist now works for the
Los Angeles Times.
This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for
Jock Talk With Josh.
I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the
life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/
I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the
Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los
Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm
a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The
Homies Show."
The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines
which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The
other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis &
Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13
markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If
it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego.
The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the
thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the
newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the
Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless
baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's
something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can
lead until you're ready to take action.
Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever
made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it
If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at
Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help
out anyone from CSUSM.
It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared
in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since
I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has
stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of
my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos.
I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a
reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor.
And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the
original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with
all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The
Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley,
and Jason Encabo.
Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a
lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer,
my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown
in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I
left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a
writer.
In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well
as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the
experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories
and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful
career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is
what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my
time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career
in writing.
The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve,
a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had
a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism,
media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in
general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at
least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the
time I used to write a weekly column about beer.

SarahSpinks
Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist
at American Tattoo in Bonsall.
I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I
would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that
the university continued to over charge its constituents for
everything from new editions of standard texts to paying
an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot.
Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus,
because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences.
My decision was to have my own comic strip in The
Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San
Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be
no competition, no line of students battling it out for the
space in print.
My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that
fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly
comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the
news editor of the The Pride.
The student newspaper, especially my comic strip,
became an avenue in which I could air my grievances,
point out the everyday life of the average student and
question the authority on campus.
Every week I had to write my storyline out and then
draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were
better than others, but I did get better and I completely
reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing.
I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of
writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight
in me necessary to making this happen.
ChadSpinks
Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer now works at
Today's Local News as a graphic designer.
I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic
National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four
in the morning.
Then I was approached with an
opportunity to work at a tattoo shop
again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but
I would be able to draw again. And I
secretly hoped that by showing off my
skill and ability to draw I would be
offered a tattoo apprenticeship.
My wish came true, but then came
the work and I had to tell my family.
Let's just say they weren't pleased,
and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most.
But all those old people have made
a lot of mistakes themselves, and I
would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't
make me happy. Someone once told
me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is
like being married to someone you
don't love."
Being an apprentice was one of the
more challenging experiences of my
life, for many reasons, but I had the
fight in me. Drawing makes every- j
thing in the world disappear. It is
better than any other form of escape
I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things
as I draw.
The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and
we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the
existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of
a button, never to be remembered.
I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the
stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and
predictable stories about parking and fee hikes.
The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I
felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if
I could help.
I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it
was challenging. I participated in writing and designing,
and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts."
The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of
satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell
us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely
with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and
passionate students like yourself to participate." They
wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks."
But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up
I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in
the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism
experience or newspaper background, but all expressed
genuine interest in being a part of the paper.
There were no returning students f rom the, previous
year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school.
We were building f rom square one, which made it seem
limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered
responsibilities. We made it happen.
The idea of a student newspaper
is integral to having # student voice
on campus. In the age of the Internet,
people are arguing that newspapers are
a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs
are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^
But Web-based content, will never
compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a
newspaper and seeing the efforts of the
writers, editors and designers pulling
together to create a printed product in a
form that you can fold up and take with
you anywhere.
I still have the issue that I was in as a
sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a
student f rom the newspaper s taff asked
to take my picture and get a quote f rom
me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to
see my picture in print was pretty cool.
I felt as though I had made some kind of
permanence in the annals of Cal State
San Marcos.

but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist.
on the offer.
"How can I help?" they would ask.
"Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories"
That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express
interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The
Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain
future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of
student life and identity would be threatened. It makes
sense though.
The student newspaper always has been an outlet for
dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern
over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus?
Student government?
In my experience with student government, they are
acting under the higher hand of the administration and
generally express the voice of the average student who
just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather
than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal
State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong,
there should be student elections, but
the newspaper will always serve as the
true voice of the students, grammatical
errors and all.
I am fortunate to have found a job in
the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for
Today's local news. I love being able
to be creative everyday and seeing a
product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks,
but journalist are generally unphased
by this and trudge on knowing that the
public is more apt to complain than it is
to praise.
The newspaper industry is in a bad
place with many papers going under
due to a lack of advertising revenue.
It's hard to compete with low overhead
Web sites. But like I said before, I have
faith in the printed word. A student

�each Bum Blonde Ale
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer has died, yet again. Each
year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to
attend summer school. With each year of
summer birth transcends summer death,
a gloomy and unwanted realization of
the beginning of another semester. Beach
Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and
attitude of a southern Californian summer
that many Cougars cherish.
Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and
operates from St. Louis, Missouri.
Currently, the brewery classifies as
the third largest brewing company in the
world. The brewery corners the market
with their new marketing program titled
Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught
quarterly produces seasonal brews for
the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum
Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without
hurting the dolphins.
The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops
with flash and excitement through any
frosty store refrigeration window. The
cardboard container portrays bright yellow
sunshine rays descending upon a vivid
baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime
green textured grass. Summer sun orange
decorates the rest of the packaging.
A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired
Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an
open white and blue flowered Hawaiian
styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange
ale in a glass in the other. The scenery
depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark
brown accents tint the glass and are
labeled with the scene f rom
the cardboard container.
The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale
with an alcohol by volume
of 5.4 percent. The ale pours
smooth with a mild half inch
thick head. The luscious hue
of the ale captures a San
Diego coast sunset of rich,
powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary
aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel
roasted barley malts which
are hopped with imported
spices comprise a smooth and
f ull bodied refreshing taste.
Just enough flavors create a crisp
Dubai
BY OMAR SAEB
Pride Contributor
Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities
When people mention the United Arab
Emirates, it is often overshadowed by
the well-known emirate of Dubai. The
immense popularity and growth of Dubai
as a travel destination has led this small
emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen.
Like much of the Middle East, twenty
years ago Dubai was a small emirate in
reaction amongst the taste buds. The
brewery recommends consuming the ale
with barbecue, fish, and or salads.
Summer has ended. While the average
Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour,
enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3
miles
per hour to the nearest
market.
Purchase
the
last
remains of summer while
it last for the ale will be
replaced soon with Jack's
Pumpkin Spice Ale.
City of
Endless ^
Possibilities
the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai
is competing to be the financial center of
the Middle East and is home to various
attractions in which tourists flock to year
around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made
building in the world reaching 168 floors,
called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy
type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all.
When traveling to the Middle
East there is always a sense of caution due
to the instability of the region, but Dubai
is another story. With all the hype about
Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand.
A fter spending about three weeks there, I
had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that
there-are endless possibilities in Dubai.
It would be 120 degrees outside and you
can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the
Emirates. What is amazing is that for half
the day you can snowboard, then go on a
dune-bashing safari excursion and explore
the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East.
The amount of classy hotels and shopping
districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the
Emirates is the biggest mall in the region
in which Ski Dubai is located.
Although Dubai is a place filled
with unique modern architecture and end-

less tourist excitement, be aware of the
scorching hot weather that engulfs the
region during the summer. Travelers need
not worry commercial air conditioners to
the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai
make sure to check out various hot spots
such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge
and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai
Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city
of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab
Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world.
The building in itself is an architectural
masterpiece. Many Europeans every year
fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so
when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee
you will have the time of your life.

AMANDA ANDREÌIN "
In the fall of 2006 when two
students enrolled in a women's
studies course titled "Women
in Performance," a course that
focused on the body image
and the female form, Professor, Karen Schaffman, assigned
her students an assignment that
would propel Jennifer Schouwe
and Alexis Macias to create a
campus organization named,
IntHERnational.
IntHERnational will become
a part of CSUSM next fall, and
it will aim to educate students in
global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights.
IntHERnational will have a set
focus on women without voices
and women who are suppressed,
abused, murdered or forgotten.
Professor Schaffman asked to
her class to create a zine. Macias
and Schouwe created a zine titled
IntHERnational with Barbara
Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste
Lampro. "The assignment was
designed to artfully address any
women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and
Macias said. The zine focused
on women from Afghanistan,
Guatemala, Kenya, India and the
United States. Each section of
the zine informs its readers on
women of various regions. The

IntHERnational's table during CSUSM's International Fair
Schouwe and Macias both
agree that CSUSM students
actively participate in the community and in the academic setting to gain knowledge and grow.
"The importance of having a
club like IntHERnational that
raises awareness and discussion
about women's issues is clear,"
Schouwe and Macias said. "As
IntHERnational relates to greater
San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus
breeds a more lasting and honest
beginning for larger community
connections."
Schouwe and Macias plan
on hosting events including art
exhibits and performances by
dance and acting groups. In order
to help local women and their
families, Schouwe and Macias
also plan on volunteering with
CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member
to offer suggestions or input as to
how we can be most effective as
an organization in encouraging
people to become more involved
in our cause," said Schouwe and
Macias.
For more information on getting involved with IntHERnational, contact Jennifer Schouwe

Afghanistan section speaks of
girls as young as 11 or 12 who
have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine
also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest
socio-political organization of
Afghan women. The zine also
provides information on female
genital mutilation in the Maasai
community of Kenya. The zine
describes how the 5,000 year old
practice of removing the entire
clitoris and labia is unwanted
among women but the practice
is the only means of acceptance
of women in the community. The
zine also features information on
women of Guatemala, India and
the United States.
Following the zine project, each
student took part in a performance
that included a vigil and an art
interpretation of each zine. After
the performance, Schouwe and
Macias said, "Karen offered her
enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire
school. Alexis and I then thought
more about the impact our message
would have, but on a more lasting
level, such as starting a club."

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

The event celebrated the success of

growing ethnic groups at CSUSM. The
growing number of students who want an
Asian-American course is on the rise.
Graduate student Patricia Guevana
said to the 60 students and faculty
in attendance, "We have studies for
women; there are Latino studies and
African-American studies, but we do
not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said,
"Mostly what we know of our culture
is from our parents."
The meeting brought up issues of
language and how this generation of
Asian-American students feels that
they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture.
Guevana said, "Not many of you
have had an opportunity to take an
Asian-American class, and if you

Coordinator.
"It seems unfair that the four of us get
credit when really it's been a team effort.
We have come far this year. Look at us.
This is our family. We are here together.
We are here because we all beliçve in
the same things," Lim said.
Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she
wrote to honor several volunteers.
The ditty was a spin on the Inez and
Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as
their names popped up in the lyrics.
The Women's Center distributed
25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with
earth toned t-shirts decorated with
the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names.
About sixty-five invitations were sent
out for the ceremony.
A slide show featuring volunteers
brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing
away at all the good memories they had
shared while working together. Out
of all the events the Women's Center
hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle
said, "The most popular event of the
semester was the singer, songwriter
Ellis, who is a lesbian performer."
Following the slide show, guests
were asked to check underneath their
seats for a purple ribbon, and winners
possessing the ribbons received bonsai
trees for a prize.
Lim closed her speech with a quote,
"Margaret Mead was right when she
said, 'Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed that's the
only thing that ever has.'"
have, it has been somewhere else."
With high hopes of gaining support
of fellow students, Guevana and fellow
students passed a petition around the
room to gain signatures in hopes of
imposing the importance of courses
on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the
CSUSM community.
But having courses placed on the
agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students
an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially
even major in it.
But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain
these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can
fill the schedule with as many courses
as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't
enroll for them."
The professors emphasized the slow
procedure that would take place to
gain courses and the responsibility of
those students who want to register for
the classes.
"It would be a huge step back for all
of us if we were to make an approach
at adding courses for Asian-American
studies and then have three or four
students register for the class. They
would then take that course off the
schedule and add another course at
the time slot and we it would be heavy
blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said.
With high hopes of achieving a
course for next fall, the staff members
in attendance were able to get a better
of picture of how many students are
interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies.

Paintball is ranked the 3rd most

States with over 10 million participants, according to the Sporting
Goods Manufacturers Association. In
the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in
the woods to a legitimized tournament

Student loans 101: Things to
know before taking out a loan
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Fee hikes seem to be a current trend in the California
State University system. With
each proceeding year Cougars
paw out more and more money
each semester as not only
tuition increases but other items
such as parking costs increase.
Unfortunately, the inflation
within the cost of pursuing a
higher education does not equal
the amount of money Cougars
earn. Thus, student loans offer
a much-needed band-Aid for the
situation.
The majority of student loans
start with Free Application for
Federal Student Aid. FAFSA
applications are due before July
2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student
loans are subsidized and/or
unsubsidized. Subsidized loans
allow students to take out loans
from the federal government
without having to pay interest or
make payments while attending
school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest
free and payment free until the
student has not attended school
at least part-time status within
a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest
and require the student to make
monthly payments while attending school.
CSUSM requires all first time
student loan students to complete two items. First, students
must complete Loan Entrance
Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note.
Aside from the FAFSA, there
are other student loan oppor-

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

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

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

"So my idea is to have all these different
artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to
Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend
are her songs and then she'll sing them in
the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist
who wrote the song will sing the song they
wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea
and I'm going to see if I can get people to
do that."
As far as music, Braff is currently into
Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson.
"I think everyone should go on MySpace.
There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't
have an album out, but you can hear her
on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that
she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love
the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool
invention that you can have a dialogue
with your fans."

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

Traditional Afro-Cuban
drums and dance at CSUSN
BY KENNY KING
Pride Staff Writer
Silfredo La 0 Vigo and Patrice-ann Mea d give an impromptu lesson on dancing
Agogo plays in the background.
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, May 3, during
university hour, the library
courtyard was rocked with the
sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and
music. Paul Huggins, a musician
and educator at Yale University
since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades,
performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of
Palomar College. A fter singing,
performers Silfredo La O Vigo
and Patrice-ann Mead showed
off their dancing skills, while the
drum ensemble laid down some
contagious beats.
Dozens of students gathered to
hear the distinctive drum songs
and to watch the high-energy
dancing. Performers played
congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a
box-shaped drum. They played
all during university hour, which
is quite a feat considering some
drum players played with only
their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is
truly amazing. Even playing for
Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride
Cai State San Marcos students while
10 minutes can make an average
drummer's hands numb from all
of that drum slapping.
At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn
how to meringue. Students' skill
levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly
were not dancing for their first
time. It was amazing to see how
much f un it was for students to
learn and dance. The instructors
were both very skillful dancers
whose infectious attitudes made
learning dancing a joy, and for us
observers, entertaining to watch.
"It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If
you have not already guessed,
this week's Beer of the week
is Red Stripe. Not only is Red
Stripe brewed and bottled in
Jamaica but the Ambassador
of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously
Jamaica is very proud of their
beer, and they have the right
to be. Red Stripe is not only a
delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine.
I was digging through my
refrigerator hoping to find a
home cooked meal when my
roommate mentioned he had
discovered a new restaurant
just down the street. I looked at
him and said, "Let's Go." Next
thing I know we are pulling up
to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will
be a first." But I was in store for
much more. When we sat down
the first thing I ordered was a
Red Stripe. When the waitress
returned with our beers in hand
I was happy to see that these
were no ordinary Red Stripes;
these were at least 32 ounces
of delicious beer. While I was
enjoying the first couple sips of
beer, the waitress filled us in
on some of the history of Red
Stripe.
To my surprise Red Stripe
is still brewed and bottled in
Jamaica. A soda company
brewed the first Red Stripe in
1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World
War II when some of our troops
were sent to Jamaica. But it
wasn't until the 1960s, when
Jamaica became independent
from Britain, that the company
could go public and really start
producing beer.
I enjoyed my Red Stripe
with and Jamaican jerk chicken
sandwich. It was delicious,
and washing it down with Red
Stripe finished it off perfectly.
"It's beer. Hooray beer."

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

encounter with Lord Voldemort, whose
return the leaders of the wizarding
community refuse to acknowledge.
Troubled by disturbing dreams, Harry

With t he bright sun shining and the sweet s ummer
breeze tickling the w arm air, there is only one t hing
missing f rom your soon t o b e p erfect s ummer: t he
hot s ummer CD releases. T his summer shall b ring
many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of
July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties,
r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five
anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers
and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are
Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson
" The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull,"
Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright
"Release t he Stars."
W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single,
"Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat
t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along
with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long
before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is
in stores May 22.
D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback.
Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight
for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once
a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree

t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG
Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South
A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of
t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he
devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica.
It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on

Early Learning
Center's future
questioned
BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM's Early Learning Center has
provided help for the moms and dads
on campus for nearly three years and in
the fall, the Early Learning Center will
move into a new facility, The Center
for Children and Families.
The ELC was made to fit the needs
of children and their parents who are
struggling to get along with college life
and a family. The ELC offers a place
for volunteer students to work and to
become close to the children and their
families. But now the bonds that have
been made between the employees
and children and their families might
be broken. Since the Early Learning
Center is moving into its new building,
the current working staff has not been
guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families.
The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center
was funded on tax revenue that came
from tobacco smokers which was
approved by the First 5 Commission.
The Center for Children and Families
is licensed to serve 190 children from
infants to pre-kindergartners. The total
number of families served is expected
to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many
areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy
development.
Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of
the ELC, said that the center will not
be run by ASI any longer, but it will
be run by the university instead. "The
ELC is separate from the organizations
on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of
the workers are students here with the
exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the
running for children and families. The
ELC will no longer be existing; the
new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State."
Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3

head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.
According to Celia Martinez, Barraza held a teller position with Bank of
America, majored in accounting, and was,
"Deeply involved with the campus community. In 2005-2006 she held the position
of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was
involved with this year's MEChA High
School Conference, and in previous years
the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza
Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with

of Lorena's community and volunteer
work survives in the hearts of her friends

ASI seeks und Lesbian,
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students Inc. is looking
to build another branch of services for
CSUSM students. By the fall of 2008, ASI
hopes to complete the construction of the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer
Intersex and Ally Center. The center is
still in its early stages, but with a recently
appointed committee, ASI will examine
the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses
and look to other models for CSUSM's
center.
Former ASI President, Roy Lee said,
"It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be
University operated or ASI, the intent, to
my knowledge has always been there. As
ASI has grown, questions about the third
center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center
have been established, the goal for this
center's construction and formation began.
The ASI BOD has voted unanimously
to research and strategically open the
LGBTQIA Center by 2008." .
ASI Arts and Sciences Representative,
Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning,
President of LGBTA, have been appointed
as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center
planning committee. "Our job is to create
a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors
to review and approve," Lovelace said.
"This coming Friday w6 are planning to
have a brainstorming session. All students
are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a
mission statement, programming etc. on
May 4 and go from there."

that's just the United States, if we
go beyond the U. S., it's even a

Rev. Dr. Washington asked
each student to partner up with
someone he or she did not know.
Each student then discussed in
partners, how they felt about
difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr.
Washington discussed the terms
authenticity and honesty and
expressed his hope for students
to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that
we can be honest, without being
authentic," he said. When Rev.
Dr. Washington asked the crowd

evening were, one student said, "I
just hope that we don't have to all
come together in order for us to
open our eyes to say that we need
this. Why do we have to come
together? Why can't we just do
this on our own? Why do we have
to come together and say, 'Oh?
Yeah, huh.' We should already be
doing this."
During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked
students to examine the dynamics
of his or her own existence.
"What does it mean when there's
a woman CEO or a woman vice
president where there's never been
a woman vice president and now
all the people who report to her
are men? What does that mean?
What are the dynamics that show
up when that's the difference?"
Rev. Dr. Washington asked.
When speaking on race, Rev.
Dr. Washington said, "How many
folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't
want to have it? Does that need
for that conversation go away?
I have been saying in sessions,
we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but
we've not had a real conversation
about it."
In groups of four, students sat in
chairs, knee to knee and engaged
in conversation with students they
had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five
minutes to identify his or herself
through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender,
class and age. Next, each student
answered questions stating what
category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also
had to tell their peers of a time
when he or she treated others less
than- because of who they were.
Some students found that they
could relate to each other in more
than one way.
Once the session finished,
Rev. Dr. Washington divided the
room into two sections. Students
sat in rows of chairs, facing
each other. Rev. Dr. Washington
paced back and forth down the
middle and told students that if
they felt comfortable, he or she
could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to
him or her, but students were not
allowed to speak. In the act of
standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the
questions asked, each student
would be a representative of a
particular group.
With some humor, Rev. Dr.
Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they
see big black man. One word.
Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far
away.' Now I can't control any of
that. But it does matter that I know
that."
Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said.
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." At this, each student
who stood, scanned the room, and
each student who sat, looked up.
"If you ever feared for your safety
because of your gender please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said,
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." Most of the women
in the room stood, and most men
sat looking up. Some questions
spurred more emotional responses
than others.
From the experience as a whole,
Freshman Bill Rhein said that
he would "not take anything for
granted anymore." Junior Angela
Stubbs, said, "I can't understand
why everyone couldn't attend and
students had to R.S.V.P? You only
find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels
about it. People are talking about
it, but they're not really talking
about it."
The event was co-sponsored by
Advisor Academy and Student
Affairs Professional Development
Team and included representatives
of Student Development Services,
ASI and University Village.

fortune of being on a diverse
campus. We have the amazing
good fortune of being in a room
with folks who don't look like us,
who do look like us, who think
like us and who don't think like
us. Who come from cultures and
histories and families and communities that are like ours and
they're not like ours, and that's
an amazing world to be in. It's
the world that we're in, but often
we actually don't look at each
other and say, I see you, I hear
you, and let's learn from each
other. You all, are the future.
You're my hope. You're why I do
what I do. You have an amazing
ability to shape the future. And
to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference,
and works together in a way that
we actually create communities
where we see and respect each
other." This, Blanshan said, was
the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr.
Jaime Washington.
Rev. Dr. Washington began the
evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the
change that has happened around
the world has been done by folks
who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in
the world. No major social change
movement has ever happened
without your influence and your
power. I want you to recognize the
importance of your role as student
leaders today."
When Rev. Dr. Washington told
students that only 16% of citizens
in the United States have advanced
degrees, he said, "You will go out
for the community."
Like most 21 year old college
students, Lorena's Myspace is
filled with pictures, and personal
phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled
with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief.
Lorena had just celebrated her
21st birthday on April 6 .
Celia Martinez shared, "She
managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing
her own thing and being herself.
She did not need to pretend to be
someone else to feel that shefitin.
She just did. Although she is gone,
those of us who knew her and
cared about her can still hear her
distinctive voice, laughter in the
air. It is still impossible to accept
that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that
we will no longer get those silly
text messages from her when she
thought about us. She reminded
all of us...about some important
lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind
people of how much they mean to
us because you never know when
it will be the last time you get to
give them a hug or tell them that
you love them. We were all given
the opportunity to see her one last
time the week before she left us,
yet none of us knew it would be
the last."

posal written up for an independent
contractor that will run for five years.
The current staff gets first interviews and current kids automatically
taken."
Samara White, a current senior at
CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the
ELC, she has created bonds with all of
them. "Professors send kids here and
are very pleased with what we have
going on. We really teach the kids,"
White said.
When the ELC moves, it will have
a great impact on the teachers who
work at the ELC because they have
gained close bonds with the children.
White added, "The teachers go out
of their way to be here and do things
for the kids. They [the directors in
charge] have not asked what we need
for the center. It's distressing that
they ignored us in the vision for the
new center. It's inexcusable. The kids
are being transferred up there. The
parents don't know anyone up there.
How can parents trust people they
don't know anything about with their
kids? It's a disappointment. You'd
think as a Cal State they would want
people experienced, who have been
here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As
a student I'm disappointed with how
they neglected staff here. Staff has
always had open dialogue with the
directors. They have never given us a
meeting with them or shown up at our
events."
A meeting regarding the ELC and
the future of its employees will take
place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the
ELC.

hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the
string, mold it with glass, and sand it
down with sandpaper to smooth it out.
When the kites are soaring in the sky
they can reach up to three miles high.
There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in
hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate
bragging rights. Kabir explained that
he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As
Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of
the string, he stated, "These cuts and
stitches are from this. Sometimes my
hand is bleeding all over. It [the string]
is sharp, but strong at the same time."
The kites are made by hand with thin
paper, and moist bamboo forms into
the desired shape. Kabir has been
participating in the sport since he was
about five years old, and he now owns
over 2000 kites.
Professors Sherri Douglass and
Pamela Strieker collaborated on the
event which was in synch with the
campus read and a GEL 101 class.
Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First
Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement
within our campus community, and
in the larger community.
After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for
the campus read, "The Kite Runner,"
a story of a young kite fighter in
Afghanistan with immense cultural
insights. Professor Pamela Strieker
responded with her reaction of the
event, "I think the book discussion
went well and those present learned
a great deal about Afghanistan and
Afghani culture and they also learned
that in the end, we are all not so different from one another."
A few copies of the campus read are
still available. Contact either Professor
Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm.
edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty
Center in Kellogg Library.
From LGBTQIA, page 1
Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The
committee will visit different centers
and see how they were structured so
we have an idea of what to look for
and what to model it as. That's exactly
how we modeled our Women's Center.
We didn't start by making stuff up."
Felipe said that the center could
potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to
hang out. "It goes with ASI's core
value of diversity, bringing in all
types of values, opinions, and serving
100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said.
Lee said, "I see the center being an
inclusive and educational venue where
students, any student, may come in.
In regard to programming, I think the
opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San
Diego community about these issues
and provide any support and ser, vices."
When speaking of the LBGTA club
on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"They're a very big club on campus
that's done a lot of programming with
Student Life and Leadership. And
with the C3 and with ASI's goals of
fostering awareness and education
and student life. That's what we want
to with the LBGTQIA Center."
As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"We do have a really tight budget.
We have no money allocated toward
the center." In order to fund the
center, ASI will first look outside
of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired
Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for
the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will
also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all
the different funding possibilities,"
Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via
grants and from supplemental funding
wherever we can find it. But because
he's so good at doing that, that's one of
the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside.
Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have
money put into it."
With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross
Cultural Center, and the upcoming
LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized
the need for representation among an
additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's
Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or
she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different
clubs, whether it be the German Club,
the French Club, MEChA, we have a
whole list of clubs and organizations,
to try to incorporate everyone into
ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said.
The position of the Social Justice
Officer is appointed by ASI President
Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved
by ASI's Board of Directors. The
position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve
CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer.

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

The Arthritis Foundation
invites the community to par-
ticipate in its? annual San Diego
Arthritis Walk. To be held at
Embarcadero Park North on
Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
help the 46 million people with
doctor-diagnosed
arthritis.
Arthritis affects men, women,
and children of every race and
ethnic group and is America's
leading cause of disability.
Over 700,000 residents of San
Diego and Imperial Counties
live with arthritis, nearly 3,500
of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
honor and to help improve the
lives of friends, loved ones, and
community members afflicted
with the debilitating condition.
Funds generated by the event
will be used by the Arthritis
Foundation in its ongoing effort
to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing
public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla-
tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the
quality of life for those living
with arthritis," according to
the foundation's website (www.
arthritis.org).
Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to
form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up
their own personal Web page
and begin raising funds using
the online fundraising tools
provided by the foundation.
At the event, according to
the 2007 San Diego Arthritis
Walk homepage, participants
may choose from a three-mile
or one-mile walk route; write
an inspirational message on
the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue
"hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register,
but a participant must raise a
minimum of $100 in order to
receive an Arthritis Walk tshirt.
The event schedule is as follows:
May 18 @ 5 p.m.: Online registration closes.
May 20 @ 7 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.:
Registration and t-shirt pick up

Getting a summer job
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer is fast approaching. During
summer, some Cougars go back to their
home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and
some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need
money during the summer. One way to
ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer.
All Cougars should be aware of the
basics when applying for a job. Despite the
current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the
most. When applying for a job make sure
to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair
dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just
woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of
interest is the local donut shop. Dressing
professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie,
dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars,
and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks,
and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep
eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel.
CSUSM's Career Center website (www.
csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a
job involving "campaigns to stop global
warming pollution and promote clean,
renewable energy alternatives." Another
links offers a job in painting residential
and commercial for the summer/The web-
site also offers aid in creating resumes and
an online interview practice program with
over 1,500 mock interview questions.
Another website offering advice for
job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www.
monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post
their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews
are highly important when applying for a
job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of
just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow,
a Monster Contributing Writer, explains,
"Writing powerful thank-you letters is
not just a formality. Thank-you letters are
marketing tools that can have tremendous
value in moving your candidacy forward
and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster
Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover
the Work You Were Born to Do" in his
article on how tofinda job you will enjoy
by answering a set of 20 questions.
Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.
com) also provides information on jobs
and is similar to Monster. A quick search
in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13
hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from
selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell
phones. Like Monster, the website allows
users to upload resumes quickly and free.
Post Resume (www.postresume.com),
similar to Career Builder and Monster, also
allows the postirig of resumes at no charge.
The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current
career objectives. Remember that your resume
speaks volumes about
you, particularly if you're
looking to shift gears into
a new field in which you
have no directly applicable
experience. Be sure to note
your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring
to a job rather than industry-specific experience.
And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork,
and problem-solving. Also,
be sure to highlight prior
measurable/demonstrable
accomplishments."
The upcoming 2007 San
Diego County Fair "Salute
to Heroes" (www.sdfair.
com) begins June 8th and
ends July 4th. The event
creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such
job opportunities include
shuttle drivers, stagehands,
ticket sellers, and even security positions.
The excitement and proximity of the San
Diego County Fair smells like a perfect
catch for any Cougar.
If finding a job seems traumatic and
stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once
hired because I looked preppy and had
no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops,
a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts
and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me
and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan.
So, as the few weeks left of school come
to a close, begin the job search now to
ensure afinanciallyburden free summer.

reaches those young people who need help
the m ost"
Halfofus.com aims to join, support
and inform college students about mental
health issues, while also allowing students
to guide the direction of the site with their
personal testimonials and feedback. The
website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific
programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national
resources as well. Topics addressed on the
site include: depression, suicide, bipolar
disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress,
alcohol use and drugs.
One particular service offered through
the site is an anonymous screening tool
for students to help them understand, cope
with and take further action should they
feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides
students with the opportunity to explore
their feelings and emotions through useful
resources, and presenting advice on how
to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to
combat depression.
. Featured tools on the website include: an
action center to facilitate students who wish
to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an
"Active Minds student advocacy chapter"
on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed
by the Medical Center of Duke University,
giving students individualized feedback;
"Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed
Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus
and connect students to the appropriate
resources to get help," states halfofus.
com.
Halfofus.com is just one of the many
resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation
in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health
and mental health services) and ULifeline
(a program run by The Jed Foundation).
Launched in November of 2006, the Jed
Foundation paired with mtvU to create
a campaign to heighten awareness about
mental health issues and their prevalence
on college campuses across the nation by
linking students to the right resources.
In a press announcement released by
mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students
have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause
of death among college students, and the
number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends,
Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue
that begins to de-stigmatize mental health,
encourages more young people to seek out
ways to improve their state of mind, and

BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Marrakesh, with its stronger African
vibration than other Moroccan cities, is a
thorough assault on the senses in every
way. As one of the most visited places in
Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it
offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle
hard! In a city full of talented artists of
llVilV
«MUÍ
many disciplines— especially leather
working, wood and metals, there is no
shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to
do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red
City," possibly due to the abundance of
its ochre colored buildings, and it was the
capital of Morocco off and on for a few
hundred years.
The first thing that a visitor to the place
will notice when disembarking the plane,
l^il^i
is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond
the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar
collision of smells, sights and noise that
it can be tricky to maintain your sense of
direction, not good when you are trying
to find your accommodations! Donkeys
and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely
potent fumes hit the nose as you meander
through the narrow streets. Venders in
tiny shops line the streets as do countless
motorbike repair shops and you really
have to be careful in navigating your way
around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with
regard to slaloming a motorbike at high
speed through the throngs of walkers.*
Most streets seem to lead to the famous
Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full
of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers
to story tellers/Animals are everywhere
too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul
THE PRIDE
their cargo and performing monkeys hop
around their owners shoulders. Naturally
pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand
painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around
you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower
or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a.
beautiful structure complete with huge
stork nests at the top. Five times a day
there is a call to prayer from the minaret
which adds to the feeling of wonderment
of the place; there really is nothing more
beautiful than hearing the first cali just
before dawn.
Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the
extensive network of the souqs an
absolute must to explore. Everything
you could possibly imagine is sold here,
including things you would probably not
like to imagine, such as leopard skins that
you will find in some of the apothecary
stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above
all, be respectful to the Moroccans right
to practice what they believe in, you are
after all a visitor in their culture.
Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in
the museums and the gorgeous Yves St.
Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate
in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the
numerous steam baths or Hammans for
an olive soap scrub down or simply sit
and people watch whilst sipping delicious
mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna.
In all, Marrakesh will provide memories
of a timeless place and you will no doubt
be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and
exhilarating culture.

Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I am so sick
of the Boston
Red Sox and
New York Yankees. The sports
world loves this
rivalry, but I am
completely over
it. The last straw for me came last
Thursday.
I was sitting in my COMM 440
class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every
week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about,
and last week was no different. My
next step at that point is to ask my
buddy Mike Millburn for a topic.
I respect his suggestions since he's
also in the sports business, but I
could tell it was a slow sports news
day when he told me the biggest
story was about a sock.
That's right, a sock. Not just
a regular white gym sock, but
a bloody sock that was worn
in 2004. The significance of a
bloody sock, you ask? It was worn
by Curt Schilling in the 2004
playoffs when the Red Sox came
from behind from a three games
to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the
World Series.
Schilling showed great courage
at the time for pitching with a torn
tendon in his ankle. The blood on
the sock came from his sutured
ankle that the training staff did up
for him twice during the playoffs.
The reason this * sock has
emerged almost three years later?
Because Gary Thorne, a baseball
announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it
was red paint, and not blood on
the sock.
That was the lead story on the
3PM Sportscenter last Thursday.
ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red
Sox.
What may be most disturbing is
that red sock sits in Cooperstown
at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
When the museum closes at night
I can imagine all the baseball
head plaques wondering where
3
snnam..Mrm

5
the nasty smell is coming from. I
can imagine the plaques of Reggie
Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking
at one another and accusing Babe
Ruth as the source of the smell.
Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's
a bloody sock from the Red Sox
World Series Championship.
I can imagine all of that because
the sports world would like you
to believe that even the Red Sox
and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques
don't like each other.
Seriously, though. The Red
Sox and Yankees played a three
game series two weeks ago and all
three were on national telecasts,
ESPN broadcasted the Friday and
Sunday night games while Fox

T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with
the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules:

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

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

Spider-Man
¡ gilt i » i

BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
. JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing,
audiences across the world are getting
tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3"
in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey
Maguire) square off against the New
Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher
Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden
Church) in what may be considered the
best "Spider-Man" yet.
At the start of the film, Peter Parker
(Maguire) is at the top of his class in school
while, Spider-Man is receiving approval
from the entire city of New York. Mary
sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on
any given occasion.
This juicy spin on a classic martini
could have originated from one of three
scenarios in my opinion; the first of
which is in the spirit of the evil queen
in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale
says, tricked Snow White into eating
the poisoned apple. The second of
which is the telltale biblical story of the
temptation of the Eve with apple in the
Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of
the Appletini felt tempted to mess with
a good thing (the original martmi).
Although none of these possibilities a?e
very likely, this sinful indulgence is a
sugary twist on the timeless martini,
bound to delight and satisfy.
Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her
childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is
stilWooking to avenge his father's death.
With everything going so well, it only
seems right that outside forces would begin
to play a role and bring in a lot of drama.
When a strange black creature from out of
this world takes over the Spider-Man suit,
Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance
photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace,
the audience receives a well-balanced
cast.

.With many subtle variations of the
newly found classic floating around,
my . favorite version of the smashingly
appetizing Appletini is as follows:
1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple
Twist Vodka
1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple
Pucker schnapps
Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill
with ice. Shake well and then pour the
mix into a martini glass and garnish with
an apple slice or a maraschino cherry,
Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my
favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny
Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is
just too bad it took the rest of us so long
to catch on.
As things begin to settle down in the
movie and the storylines are slowly
immerging, Maguire and Franco are able
to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over
emphasizing their emotions, which brings
humor to the film.
With things slowly going back to normal,
the audience gets sucked into the heavy
dosages of drama instead of the action
packed movie viewers would expect.
With the longevity of the drama, the
film's humor passes the time as well as
the scattered battle scenes throughout the
film.
The best parts of thisfilmare the action

Movie

of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to
Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well
choreographed battles between the good
""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys.
The action scenes allow the audience to
forget that the story moves slowly. With
some amazing one-on-one battles, the
finale is what makes the movie what it is,
another blockbuster smash.
With all the story lines coming to a
close, the movie tries to pull tears from the
audience as the emotional rollercoaster of
Spider-Man and friends comes to an end.
And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

CSUSM holds
forum on VA Tech
BY AMANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday April 19 in ACD
102 CSUSM hosted a forum honoring the Virginia Tech Tragedy
and to disciiss community concerns related to the issue. Present
at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each
attendee was given an orange and
maroon ribbon to wear in honor of
Virginia Tech victims. Beginning
at noon, those present for the start
of the forum honored the victims
of the Virginia Tech tragedy that
occurred on Monday, April 16,
with a few moments of silence.
President Karen S. Haynes opened
the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together
to share our grief, our concerns of
personal safety, and ask questions
as we go forward. . ." President
Haynes continued by saying, "I'm
sure many of yoù in our campus
community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it
brings another dimension for you ;
to this conversation. I was asked
just now by the press, whether this
was our first or our last step in this
conversation; I'm sure that there
will be many steps, public, formal,
personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that
we will take as a university is to
contribute to the Hokies Memorial
Fund that will help for counseling
and other services to the victims
and their families."
Assembled in the f ront of the
room was as a panel of campus
resources to offer information
and answer questions. The panel

On Wed. April 18, Students devoured
watermelon on the mezzanine plaza in the
name of the activism at the event hosted
by ASI, Take a Bite out of the Budget. Volunteers asked students to sign a standard
letter addressed t o Senator Jack Scott that
made three demands of California Legislature and Governor. The letter d rafted
by ASI read, "Fund the necessary $65
million for the CSU, freezing fees at the
2006-2007 levels. Fund the $24 million
Student Services Initiative. Restore the

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

should anything like that happen on campus.
Chief Hackenberg responded: "We have
plans in place. We have the ability to lock
down areas on campus from dispatch that
would help to isolate any kind of shooter
activity. We also have a system where we
can communicate through our classrooms
under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the
situation is at the time." Dean Manship
also explained to the audience that there is
a system being finalized this very moment
that would allow the university to send
text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation.
Another main point emphasized in the
forum was that of mental health care, and
Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring
students that there are services available at
SHCS for students to take advantage of.
In hopes to reach the rest of the student
body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very
safe campus here; that's both by perception
and statistics bear that out, and we always
need to keep that in mind. We want students
to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or
anyone who might be planning these types
of things. We just want to encourage them
to report those things to the police department." For more information visit http://

Manship (Emergency Management Coordinator), Regina Frasca (Director of Risk
Management and Safety), Carlene Smith (a
psychologist from SHCS), CSUSM Police
Chief Ronald Hackenberg, Dr. Pat Worden
(Vice President for Student Affairs),
CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes, and
Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from
campus organizations.
The central focus was to first remember
and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and
to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in
place and how they are being practiced and
improved.
In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring
students and staff, the forum also hosted a
guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia
Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a
poignant testimony about her experience
at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had
impacted her and her family's life, as her
younger brother currently attends Virginia
Tech.
After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya
opened up the floor for the audience to
ask questions. The first question asked
addressed what plans CSUSM has in place
"ft: '
^
plans his clients' budget and assists them in
finding and purchasing affordable housing.
When speaking of helping clients attain
jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them
become more independent. So we may start
out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it,
we'll start fading out."
Willbrant found his education at CSUSM
to be extremely helpful. "The thing about
San Marcos is that they have this unique
major, Human Development, which is ideal,
along with sociology and psychology."
Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal
Studies and Sociology double major with a
focus in Child Development.
As an Independent Living Counselor,
Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor
may assist clients in daily living such
accessing community resources or gaining
social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's
all about the books. It's test after test. Here,
it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back
to you. I thought, I will never use this again
in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to
good use. You do get a chance to use some
of that."
Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at
CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the
service recipients and they have the ability
to cooperate and work well with others."
Shannon Foster works as a Resource
Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from
CSUSM as a double major in Psychology
and Sociology. She spends her days in
the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the
YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes
her clients to the mall for some shopping.
Foster assists her clients in their work and
social skills. "We learn what their dreams
are then we help to accomplish their goals,"
Foster said.
Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM
decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an
internship requirement for her Sociology
course. Serrin says that she's been able to
help where it's needed. Since Serrin began
working at Community Interface, she has
gained experience with doing research for
the company, working with clients and
completing market audit reports among
other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude
about a lot of things."
From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1
and San Diego State University were amongst
the 201 universities in the competition.
CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005
and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of
44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of
trash.
In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion
award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic,
and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that
fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition.
The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of
recyclables to the number of students in a given
campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated
Cardboard category compares the amount of
recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of
students in a given campus.
For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home
another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in
the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard
category.
A recycling culture throbs throughout
CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins.
"I recycle every single thing and I make sure
it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal
Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be
standing anywhere and turn around and find a
recycling bin."
"It feels good that my school has won the
RecycleMania competition three times in a
row. It's really cool that our school which is in
southern California cares that much about the
environment," said Arts and Technology Major
Freshmen Jake Gossett.
"Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos
has won three years in a row giving back to the
community has been a major priority to us,"
said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby.
"It makes me glad to go to a school where
students take the extra time to use the blue bins
for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle
because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal
Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond.
The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous
contenders will sharpen their recycling skills.
However, given the current trends, Cougars
have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in
the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

Acker, and Kat Schulz made up the second
round. The competition was stiff, but Justin and
Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces
of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds.
Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each
other for the championship. Grunting and
growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt
trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor
of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to
the championship.
Students at the event also took part in signing
a large red poster, among others, that students
will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads,
"Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from
the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other
posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech."
Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they
will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the
24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going
to mail the posters to Virginia Tech."
Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that
it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures
for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't
have been happier with the result."

Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus
Tuesday; April 24, 2007
THE PRIDE
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
Sunday, April 22, was Earth
Day. On this special day designed
to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation
joined in celebration of Mother
Earth. While some people
renewed their commitment to
reduce, recycle and reuse, others
raised money to f und other environmental causes.
Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson,
a Democrat from Wisconsin that
sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded
the first Earth Day in 1970 after
trying to bring environmental
awareness to the American population since 1962.
On envirolink.org, Nelson said,
"Earth Day worked because of
the spontaneous response at the
grassroots level. We had neither
the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators
and the thousands of schools and
local communities that participated. That was the remarkable
thing about Earth Day. It organized itself."
America celebrates Earth Day
on April 22. This day is also
the birthday of Eddie Albert, a
former American television star
and environmental activist; it
also happens to be the birthday
of Julius Stirling Morton, the
founder of Arbor Day.
According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day
(earthday.gov), the United States
is much better off than it was in
1970. The air is cleaner, the loss
of wetlands is being reversed, and
other important environmental
legislation continues to improve
conditions.
Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global
warming is happening, and with
90 percent confidence that it is
because of human interference.
The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and
works closely with the United
Nations. Since the report, the
United States Congress has been
discussing new environmental
legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases.
Meanwhile, there are many
things that people can do to help
save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests
saving energy by making homes
more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use,
purchasing "green power" for the
electricity of houses, insulating
homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with
Energy Star qualified compact
fluorescent light bulbs.
The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It
urges people to use WaterSense
labeled products and programs.
These products, " will p erform
well, help save money, and
encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www.
e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm
for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not
to let water r un while shaving
or brushing teeth, to take short
showers instead of baths, to
scrape rather than rinse dishes
before loading into dishwasher,
and to only wash f ull loads of
dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient
plumbing fixtures, repairing
leaks (one leaky toilet can waste
as much as 200 gallons of water
every day), and watering lawns
and plants during the coolest
p art of the day.
Another way to celebrate
Earth is by using the three R's:
reduce, reuse and recycle. To
reduce, people should consider
buying permanent items instead
of disposables, buying products
with less packaging, and only
«J
buying what they need. Reusing
is as simple as repairing items
as much as possible, using cloth
napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable
pens and pencils, and donating
extra things to other people or
charities. Recycling is the third
component. Many things can be
recycled—paper, plastic, bottles,
cardboard, aluminum; but, other
things can and should be recycled
such as electronics, motor oil,
printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other

Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Suicide is the 11th leading
cause of death annually in the
United States and is the 2nd
leading cause of death among
college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention).
The American- Association of
Suicidology states that about
every 16 minutes, a person in
the U.S. takes their own life,
and every 39 seconds a person
in the U.S. attempts to take
their own life. In 2004, the most
recent complete data statistics,
there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439
suicides. With approximately
80 Americans taking their life
each day and nearly 1,500 more
Americans attempting to do so,
there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately
for CSUSM students, and the
greater San Diego community,
there is something that can be
done and a way to help. As it has
been on campus since the spring
of 2003, CSUSM has its very
own Yellow Ribbon Club, which
is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life.
Chris Sanchez, President of the
Yellow Ribbon Club on campus,
encourages students to not only
become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but
also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May
2. With multiple events happen-
ing on campus for the upcoming
Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez
hopes to educate his peers about
the Yellow Ribbon Campaign,
the Light for Life Foundation
and the Yellow Ribbon Cards
that are available at the events
and online at www.yellowribbon.org.
To kick-off the approaching
Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM,
the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe
drive aims to collect donated
shoes from students for a display
to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza
during Yellow Ribbon Week.
A fter the completion of Yellow
Ribbon Week, the donated shoes
will then be donated to a local
charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27,
and the collections areas are at
the ASI Women's Center in FCB
102 and in front of Student Life
and Leadership in Craven 3400.
"We're going to be having
what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week
where we go out there and we
want to encourage students to
come see this video we show
called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide'
is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the
AFSP. And what they have done
is created this video that outlines
a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the
perspective from real life people
who have either attempted to
take their life, or who have had
friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez.
The majority of the events
happening
during
Yellow
Ribbon Week will take place on
Monday, April 30, and Tuesday,
May 1, during University Hour
in the Library Plaza. There will
also be two screenings of "The
Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107
and the second at 5 p.m. in The
Clarke Field House.

mental health and suicide prevention, please visit these websites: www.yellowribbonsd.org,

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

2007 Men's Track team
Padres update
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The major league baseball schedule has
been a bit strange early on. Week three of
the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago
t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet
the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual
t o take on an opponent f or a two game
set. Series are generally three games and
sometimes four. The shortened series l eft
the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles
in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping
two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres
flew to the windy city for two days and
back t o the west coast for two against the
D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field
in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in
a row of a ten day stint without a break.
Since the Friday the 13th stomping at
Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3
to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through
April 20.
Saturday, April 14 was another gem
thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake
Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing,
giving u p only one r un on three hits in
seven innings. He improved h is record
to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the
rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was
large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1
the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and
drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a
Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger
pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following
day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place
t o play as the Padres dropped the series
by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was
staked to t hree r uns early and went on
to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The
Sunday night game was seen on ESPN
and highlighted by the 60th anniversary
of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color
barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the
Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame
in 1962.
Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs
for two games seemed simple enough.
The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs
last year but spent huge dollars in the
f ree agent market to upgrade their squad.
In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars
lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims
while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning
t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game
two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his
old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10
years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched
well, giving u p three r uns in five innings
and keeping the Padres in it. There was
not a r un scored by either team f rom the
fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff
Blum poked a double that scooted under
Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High)
glove allowing Khalil Greene to score
the game winning r un. Trevor H offman
closed the door on the series with his
third save of the season in the bottom of
the fourteenth.
The travel-weary Padres came home
for two against the Diamondbacks hoping
t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells
(Point Loma High) matched u p with last
year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities
early but failed to capitalize and Webb
went on to set a career high by striking
out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p
t hree hits and a walk in seven innings.
A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter
the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego.
Jake Peavy took the mound in game two
of the series and dominated with his arm
and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in
the third inning to highlight seven early
Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of
the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene
and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the
seventh inning to extend the lead a fter
the Diamondbacks had battled back to
make it a two r un game.
A series in Colorado kicked off with
an overpowering performance by Chris
Young of the Padres. He simply mowed
through the Rockies lineup allowing one
r un on f our hits while fanning seven in
his seven innings of work. IB Adrian
Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres
offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to
right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the
s eries opener.

�Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited

Now that the NBA season has

that pick to me I accused h im of
being d runk. I feel safe saying
that Paul is the only p erson in
the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam
n orth of the border is t he No. 3
seed in the E astern C onference
f acing the No. 6 seeded New
Jersey Nets.
The Captain Obvious award
goes to Mike for predicting t he
New York Knicks as the Most
Disappointing
Team.
Even
though Mike was the only one of
u s to predict the 33-49 season, I
still have t o tease h im about the
ease of that pick.
The Take Back award goes to
Fernando for picking the Clippers
to go to the Western Conference
finals. The C lip Show finishes
two games back of the Golden
State Warriors for the final spot
in the playoffs.
The Most Likely to Happen
award also goes to Fernando,
since he did predict the Suns
to beat the Pistons in the NBA
Championship. The Pistons are
the No. 1 seed in the East and
the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the
West.
The Overzealous award goes
to me for picking the New Jersey
Nets over the Dallas Mavericks
in the NBA Championship. The
Nets have a lot of talent with
Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and
Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the
NBA this season at 67-15.
The Mike and Mike award goes
t o Mike for picking Cleveland
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as
the N BA Coach of the Year. The
Cavaliers finished with the same
record of 50-32 that they had the
previous season, but they went

f rom 14 games back and the No.
4 seed to only three games back
and the No. 2 seed this season. I
still t hink Mike only picked Mike
because they share the same first
name.
The Should Happen But
Won't award will be split in half
with one half going to Paul and
one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular
season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell
apart this season. Lamar Odom,
Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and
Kwame Brown all missed time
due to injuries and Kobe still got
the Lakers into the playoffs.
The Joey Crawford Hater
award goes t o Kyle because Kyle
made a lot of his picks revolving
around the Spurs. NBA referee
Joey Crawford threw Duncan
out of a game towards the end of
the season because Duncan was
laughing on the bench. Crawford
then threatened D uncan to a fight.
NBA commissioner David Stern
suspended Crawford and r umor
is that Crawford's career may b e
over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in
the NBA ref society are going to
punish his Spurs team. Kyle had
the Spurs beating the Mavericks
in the Western Finals and then
the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the
MVP.
Ifyou're keeping score at home,
the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul
- 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2,
Mike-2.
Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the
Pistons in the N BA Finals with
Steve Nash claiming MVP.

�CSUSM theater review: "The Bald Soprano"
T he bald
#•###
the beautiful
BY SOPHIE B RINK
Pride Staff Writer
"Don't t ry t o follow the plot," the ticket
seller warned m e with a smile. "There is
no plot." With these words echoing in my
mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented
by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos.
I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't
have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods,
but because I am usually suspicious of
anything which calls itself an "anti-play
or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less
humorous t han depressingly misanthropic.
"The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene
Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and
misanthropy which, though it didn't make
me laugh out loud, amused me and pro-

Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin.
vided some food for thought.
Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers
of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in
1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he
was employed a s a teacher, translator and
proofreader, and it was only at the age of
39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first
play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's
experience learning English f rom a phrase
book provided the inspiration for the piece.
He found that dialogue within the phrase
book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature.
The meaning in "The Bald Soprano"
derives f rom the fact that the dialogue
itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff
insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they
are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases
to connect the parties who are conversing,
a s they talk a lot but say little.
C areful consideration seemed t o have
b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his
p erformance t o make t his play appear
applicable t o t oday's A merican society
while r etaining something of the era in
which it was w ritten. The result was a
cross-generational amalgamation which
lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of
t he play. The set was spare, containing
bits of f urniture that could have easily
existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets
showing images of President Bush and

Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of
"The Bald Soprano" was divided into two
- one first cast playing April 13, 14, and
20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21.
Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while
Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as
her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs.
M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia
D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was
likable as her easily excitable husband.
Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed
t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire
Chief without cracking a smile. Although
Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh
out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob
of bringing life t o their roles. Without the
spark of life in those who t ry desperately
t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's
statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it
did during the April 21 p erformance of
"The Bald Soprano."

Horror
BY RICHARD ESPERTI
Pride Staff Writer
"Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing
and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays
in small town motels. The f ilm's uncharacteristic choice of actors, no ditzy and
defenseless starlets which is so typical of
slasher-films, makes for a truly realistic
t errifying horror film.

San Diego brewed beers never cease
to amaze me. This week I picked
another local spot to check out.
For any San Diegan the Stone
Brewery is considered local,
but for u s Cougars the Stone
Brewery and World Bistro is
our neighbor. Not but five
minutes f rom our campus is
one of the most impressive
breweries I have been t o yet.
The list of beers is almost
endless, so you can imagine
how hard it was t o choose
one. But I did, and t his
week's Beer of the Week is
the Stone Smoked Porter.
A porter-type beer is much
darker then a pale ale or brew
of that sort. But it is not as
black as a stout beer. At the
brewery the color of this beer is
known as a dark mahogany. But it
j ust looked dark brown to me. It is
a smoked porter due to the amount of
peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses.
Another interesting fact, which seems
to be a trend at the brewery, is that this
beer among others is 100% natural.
N o additives, no chemicals, no
preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which
is a fancy word for no rice or
corn).
I prepared myself for a very
bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But
it was much more subtle than the color led me to
believe. My first thought was that this brew is very
f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the
first couple of gulps, I had a hard time
distinguishing all of the flavors. But
as I got about half-way done with
the glass, I could continuously taste
chocolate and c offee flavors and a
distinct smoky flavor. Even with all
that flavor there w as no bitter taste
lingering on the back of my tongue.
This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying.
The Stone Brewery and World
Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the
world's finest beers but also some
incredible food. I enjoyed their
famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese,
which was incredible. But on a
college budget it looks like I will
be eating o ff the dollar menu for the
rest of the week. I f you happen to
have a lot of extra cash and you want to
t ry some interesting food you can order
anything f rom mac and cheese to duck
tacos.
If you have not yet experienced Stone
Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it
especially i f consider your self a connoisseur
of beer. N ot only can you stimulate your palette
but you can get a tour of the facilities. Stonef
brewery is located at 1999 C itracado^

The fast approáching w arm
summer days will call for a
suitable beverage, one that will
lend itself well t o outdoor cocktail
parties, when t he heat of t he sun
meets the cool of the sea, when hues
of dusty rose and mouth-watering
orange paint the sky.
You could reach f or a margarita,
a daiquiri, blended smooth and

and f ruity and refreshing. But
why not choose the b uzz less

buds in a tango with the sweet
stylings of the Orange Drop M artini?
The Orange Drop M artini is a glowing glass of p ure ambrosia. One sip of the soothing sweetness of t his beverage involves
grazing your lips over the sugared r im, touching your tongue
to the seemingly luminiferous liquid, and inhaling the scent of
orange groves - orange groves which happen t o flourish within

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

as well. 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."
Now it seems that even though

Other speakers included Felipe Robinson-Zanartu, Vice President of External
Affairs of ASI, and Izzy Mariceli, president of Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro (Spirit
of Our Future).
Professor of Sociology, Marisol ClarkIbanez, also spoke. She provided handouts of statistics concerning the education
of undocumented and Latino students.
According to her statistics, 48 percent of
Latinos drop out of high school. Out of the
52 percent that do graduate, only 34-40 percent go on to some kind of college; 66 percent go to community college, and only 5-7
percent of these will transfer to a four-year
university. She urged those listening to take
action by writing their lawmakers and educating themselves on the DREAM act.

riences of those whom they knew were
undocumented students trying to get an
education in California.
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.

�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. For more

�ASI's annual clothing drive Saving your
three weeks on campus
cents with ASI
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
ASI is currently accepting clothes
and shoes for the 2007 CSUSM
clothes drive which focuses on new
and used articles of clothing to be
donated to the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) and the Salvation Army. In an attempt to establish
an annual event, Sherry Brideau the
current Director of Community Service for ASI is asking students to look
into their closets and part with barely
worn items to help people in need.
The clothing drive began April 2 and
runs through Friday, April 20th.
According to their website, http://
www.ccssd.org/about.html, "Each
year, CCS assists more than 12,000
men, women and children affected
by relationship violence and sexual
assault. Our services are divided
among five program areas including:
a Rape Crisis Center that provides
services for survivors of sexual
assault along with a 24-hour bilingual crisis Helpline and hospital
and court accompaniment services
for rape survivors; a clinical department specializing in counseling and
therapy services that address the
emotional aspects of relationship
violence and sexual assault for victims and their families; a legal clinic
assisting individuals with filing
temporary restraining orders and
other family law matters; a Education and Outreach Department that
uses education as a tool for violence
prevention and change for professional audiences, youth groups and
the general public; and a Residential
Services Department that includes a
24-hour emergency shelter and transitional housing program for victims of domestic violence and their
children." Regarding the student
donation to CCS Brideau said, "It is
important because we are donating
to a worthy cause. The women who
are at the CCS shelters are coming
from domestic violence. They usually come with just the clothes on
their backs. When they are in transitional housing they need nicer
clothes for court dates or job interviews."
Last year ASI focused solely on
donating to the Salvation Army and
had about "17 bags," according to
Brideau and currently has around
"four trash cans full of [clothes] and
still have more people donating."
As Director of Community Service,
she is in charge of planning and
organizing community service and
volunteer opportunities for CSUSM
students. This year Brideau has been
involved in setting up a few beach
clean-ups and feeding migrant
workers, to name a few. To get more
involved, email "Sherry Brideau" at
brideOOl @csusm.edu.
Drop off spots for clothing and
shoes are: Commons 203, the Women's Center located at FCB 102, and
the UVA Community Building.

Unveiling VPA Visual and Perfomiing Arts facilities on campus
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Arts Building houses some
of the most advanced technological
equipment on campus—when it comes
to music. To most of us, the Arts Building is a mystery. What's there? What is
it for? The answers to those questions
will be revealed.
The first floor is home to seven
music practice rooms which students
can we use on a first-come, first-served
basis to practice instruments of their
choice; they do not even need to be
visual performing arts students to use
these practice rooms, some of which
have pianos in them. The first floor
also houses the Indonesian Gamelan
room. In this room, students can play
authentic gamelan instruments all the
way from Indonesia if they are registered in the class. The instruments
range from the small xylophone type
keyboards to giant gongs. All of them
are beautifully adorned.
The electronic recording studio
is also on the first floor. This studio
records CD-quality music that is
accessible to electronic music students. There are many keyboards and
mixers. The software available is ProTools on the Apple computer operating system.
The first floor also has a giant
dance studio, and a performance-rehearsal area. On
the second floor, there is
a control room which
contains all of the buttons and whistles which
control the performance-rehearsal area.
It is high-tech: filled
with light controls,
microphone controls,
mixers,
speakers,
computers and other
advanced equipment.
The second floor is
also home to the biggest lecture hall on
campus which dou-
bles for a performance hall for Music
students on occasion: Arts room 240.
At full capacity, 250 people can be
seated.
The Arts Building is just five years
old. Before 2002, the Visual and Performing Arts program was housed in
three portables on the edge of campus.
Dr. Bill Bradbury, Professor of Music,
said that it really helps to have a building that can inspire students on campus.
"It made a big difference. We went to
having 45-50 VPA majors tofivetimes
as many majors. It really helped us
have a presence on campus."
The Music program continues to
grow. Bradbury said that there
is a proposal that would
develop an official Music
major and minor. He
is hopeful that those
programs should
be in place by
the fall of
2009.
Coming in Fall 2007 is the university's first choral ensemble. Dr.
Mtafiti Imara, Performing Arts Professor, is looking for students who
would like to be a part of the group.
"We are really excited about this. We
are going to do a university singing
group." Dr. Imara said. Interested
students should contact him. His email is mimara@csusm.edu, and his
office is Arts 308.
There are a lot ofmusical resources
available to students in the Arts
Building. If students are interested,
they should definitely take advantage of these resources.

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.

Padres start to the 2007 season
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
After ten games, the San
Diego Padres sit at six up and
four down. 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.

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.

�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!

�Jock Talk With Josh: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
^^^^^^^^
other people in
my LTWR 475
class with Dr. Robin Keehn who
can write better on this person.
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?'"

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. You are going to
have people who think you are
offensive when you question

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

�A n International Affair
University Global Affairs Committee sponsors cultural event on campus
BY PAMELA CASTILLO
Pride Staff Writer
The International Fair was the place to be
April 12. 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.

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.
(guitar) are off to a good start Huddled in their own individual
with their latest album "You & areas on stage, the band opened
Others," I feel that they still have with "Wasteland" off their 2005
a long way to go.
album "Stars and Boulevards,"
As the stage cleared and a fresh and then continued the set with
coat of instruments and gear "Bullets" and "Hotel Roosevelt."
adorned the stage accordingly, Even though all the right notes
the chants of anticipation only came at all the right times, some-
thing was off for me in the world
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.

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

V it's not a full on, you know, gory 'Saw'type movie" Wilson stated. He also
explained that while he felt a sense of
accomplishment in challenging himself to explore in the unfamiliar terrain
of the horrorflick,"in terms of returning to the genre, the truth is it's more
fun to work on comedies and it's easier
and I feel more at home doing them
and even dramas." Yet, Wilson leaves
the door open for a possible return to
the slasher scene: "If something were to
come along, I would definitely give it a
shot again."
The Dallas-born-and-raised actor
spoke about how he got into acting: "I
didn't really know what I wanted to do in

: I was an English major and an Art History

Somehow winter skipped Southern California. The endless summer sun has managed to tan the bodies of thousands all year,

struggle than I thought it would be.
"Sometimes people say, 'Gosh, why don't you
do more stuff like "The Tenenbaums" or "Bottle
Rocket" as opposed to "Charlie's Angels" or
"Legally Blonde"?' I wish I were Sean Penn
and could just kind of do whatever great projects I wanted, but that's just not the reality of the
situation, but if anything, it's really helped me.
I didn't1 study acting. I didn't go to film school.
I've learned on every single movie I've done,
whether it was something like 'My Dog Skip' or
something kind of like 'The Tenenbaums.'"
"What I have to remind myself," Wilson continued, "sometimes if I ever get down about it or
start to think I wish I could get that kind of role or
I wish I was in 'The Departed' or something, that
I'm still relatively young at 35. The truth is if I get
more successful and more recognizable and am
able to do well in good movies, then I hope that
that kind of thing will come together; but I might
just have to write it myself."
So far, Wilson has in fact written at least two
screenplays, one of which has been made into
a film. '"Wendell Baker' ['The Wendell Baker
Story'] is something I wrote and directed with my
brother Andrew," Wilson elaborated, "and Owen
is [brother Owen Wilson] in it, and Eva Mendez
plays my girlfriend. It?s about a good-natured con
man who is trying to turn his life around and get
his girlfriend back with the help of these two old
men that he's try ing to help."
Aside from his screenwriting, Wilson said he
would also like to form a production company
with his brothers (Owen and Andrew Wilson),
but he doesn't want it to be a vanity project. He'd
like to discover new talent, "just kind of like what
James L . Brooks did for us, just kind of finding us
and seeing our short film and helping us along"
Wilson explained.
Until then, fans of Luke Wilson will have to be

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
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Ever since I was a little girl, Shirley
has been my best friend. Shirley Temple
that is. A deliciously sweet mocktail,
or kiddie cocktail as it is affectionately
named, the Shirley Temple is a classically old-fashioned and highly sophisticated drink.
Fondly named after the adorable curlytopped child actress, Shirley Temple, the
non-alcoholic beverage was created by a
bartender at the restaurant, Chasen's, in
Beverly Hills, Calif, during the 1930s.
Because Shirley Temple was so successful and so loved as a child actress,
she was invited to many a Hollywood
party and wined and dined with Hollywood's best—minus the wine, that is.
Temple was a regular guest at Chasen's
during the height of her career, and
because of her age the bartender fashioned the dazzling pink beverage to
accompany her amidst the surplus of
adult Holly wood stars.
Originally made with two parts
ginger ale, one part orange
juice and a splash of grenadine, it is highly common
for the orange juice to be omitted.
The more familiar recipe for a Shirley
Temple is 8 ounces of 7UP or lemonlime soda, 1 ounce grenadine syrup,
and at least two decorative Maraschino
cherries. Served over ice in a highball
glass, the popular drink can also be garnished with a fresh orange slice.
Though it may be ridiculed as an ageold kiddie drink, this fizzy cherry-flavored fabrication will never disappoint
and will gleefully please even the most
spoiled inner-child.
For those who dare to turn the lipsmacking mocktail into a cocktail, the
most scrumptious recipes are for a "Hard
Shirley Temple," and a "Dirty Shirley."
A "Hard Shirley Temple" consists of 1 !/2
ounces of Malibu Rum, 4 ounces of 7UP
and a splash of grenadine, and is served
in an old-fashioned glass over ice. A
"Dirty Shirley" is made up of 1 ounce
vodka, 5-6 ounces club soda or Sprite,
and an ounce of grenadine, served in a
highball glass on ice.
With so
many yummy options,
it
would be hard to go
wrong with good oY Shirley.

California is the world's 12th largest
producer of greenhouse gases. In order to
combat this environmental problem, California has been vying for special state
permission to regulate vehicle emissions
in addition to taking other environmental measures. The battle for tougher standards was won on April 2, 2007, when the
Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has authority to regulate and establish vehicle emissions stan-
dards. Before this ruling, the EPA maintained that establishing these standards
was the responsibility of the federal transportation regulators.
California, along with 11 other states,
sued the EPA for shirking their responsibility. To California, it seemed that the
EPA was not protecting the environment
enough, especially concerning greenhouse
gases.
Meanwhile, debate continues on how
much greenhouse gases really affect global
warming. Many, including those in power,
insist that global warming is a fad. Some

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

Check out whats available to check-out
Electronics for students at Kellogg
BY K IM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Kellogg Library has more than j ust
books available to borrow. 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.

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. "It is

ment... even if it is more expensive, in the
long r un it will be better for everyone. 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

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-

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://

�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

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!

GEIC0 IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER AND DEDICATED TO CREATING A DIVERSE WORKPLACE.
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.

Swamis IPÀ
BY KENNY KING
Pride Staff Writer
Swamis IPA is a beer for the serious
beer lover. 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
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Images courtesy of Grassnote Records
On the road and gearing up for an eventful
year, Secondhand Serenade's main man,
John Vesely, tells all about the exciting
events he celebrated in 2006 as well as those
he looks forward to in the coming months.
With his current album, "Awake," available
now in stores nationwide, the newly signed
Glassnote/LG artist continues to set the bar
high and soar through the music world. In
recent years the once unsigned artist proved
the industry wrong with his refreshing DIY
fashion^ as his independently garnered
success still resonates in the hearts of his fans
and fuels his current tour. As the next chapter
for this emotional songster on Glassnote
Records begins to unfold, Vesely's raw talent
is setting the country ablaze in gorgeously
crafted songs.
S e c o n d h a n d S erenade
With a sound almost reminiscent of
Dashboard Confessional with a smattering of
All American Rejects, it is hard to pinpoint
just exactly what Secondhand Serenade
sounds like, as the cookie-cutter covered
airwaves continue to dictate an artist's sound
and success these days. Readily apparent to
anyone who gives "Awake" a listen, Vesely's
heart, passion, and talent drip endjessly out
of each song, making the album timeless and
intimate. In addition to being recently named
MTV's "Discover and Download Artist," the
new video for Secondhand Serenade's hit
single, "Vulnerable," will premier on Fuse's
"Oven Fresh" this week.
The Pride: So a lot has happenedfor you in
the past year—
Vesely: A whole lot. My album took off in
the last year in a very independent way. Lots
of kids started getting into it, and that led to
a lot of opportunities, including finding my
current record label, [and] getting together
with a great video director. I'm already
getting started on the next album now, and
I'm actually on my way up to Seattle now to
play a show. I'm in the middle of a tour.
The Pride: How's the tour going for you so
far?
Vesely: The tour is actually going really
well. I'm really happy with the turnout at
the shows; there are so many kids coming
to support me every night; it's a really good
feeling to see them and hear them sing along.
And Monty Are I is like the coolest band
ever. I'm so happy to be touring with those
guys, and we are just having tons of fun.
The Pride: You've been extremely popular
on MySpace, being in the number one spot
multiple times. How has MySpace been
an effective toolfor you in your musical
career?
Vesely: MySpace really helps out on all
fronts. It really helped boost my album sales
before I even got signed, as well as it's really
supporting my tour right now. I'm having
several hundred kids come every night,
and it's really honestly my first tour, so the
turnout isn't from previous touring, it's from
MySpace. It's pretty amazing.
The Pride: Has signing with a label changed
your musical vision at all, or has it helped
it?
Vesely: Not at all—getting together with
a label, it's a means to an end. It's only a
vehicle, and the last thing I wanted was it to
effect what I did musically, and I mean,
of course it comes with the idea that you
have to think about more than just making
songs. You have to think about MTV, radio
play, retail, all these different elements
when you're writing, but the thing you have
to think about most of all even, is that all
that stuff doesn't even really matter when it
comes down to it, you know?
The Pride: Is the next album going to be
similar to the style of "Awake"?
Vesely: My songwriting has definitely
evolved and grown since I wrote "Awake."
[This] album is going to be a little different;
it's going to have some full band stuff, some
piano, definitely lots of acoustic, and it's
going to be more interesting. There [are]
more elements of orchestration involved.
The Pride: What can fans and newcomers
lookforward to in 2007?
Vesely: They can definitely look forward to
the new album coming out by the end of the
year. [And] to the video coming out, it's just
about to go up on Fuse, and we have it on
MTV downloads so that will be really coo},
and we have
some touring
p l a n n e d , j g H M ^ so they can
d efinitely ^ ^ K f S m look forward
to
me ^ I f ^ l m coming to see
them.

elections
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Although many students hold opinions on
how campus leadership could be improved, the
reflection of those opinions did not appear in
this year's voter turn out. Only 838 students
voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI
representatives. The process of electing ASI
representatives has not changed in the past
three years. Each year, voting is conducted
online, one week before spring break. This
year, an email was sent to each student on Wed.
March 22, reminding students to vote online.
Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed.
Former Student Representative at Large Conrad
Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared
to the rest of the candidates. Vice President

Under the stormy clouds, the wedding
party for LGBTA marched on, celebrating the first day of spring with a decadent wedding ceremony. Jay Franklin,
president of CSUSM's LGBTA, headed
the theatrical event on Wed. March 21
that included guest speaker Rodger
D'Andreas-Wahl. Franklin explained,
"The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this
is a time of equal day and equal night.
Full equality is all we seek."
The procession included flower girl
Sheena L. Medina, and two couples Josh
Lovelace and Kevin Chatham, along with
Diana Wong and Rhonalyn Santos. The
wedding party was fancifully dressed in
black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns
with contrasting sneakers. The mock
priest residing over the festive nuptials
was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as
the two couples approached the priest, and
switched positions to represent a gay and
a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.
Perez, the representative priest, offered a
serene prelude, stating, "Hooray, we are
here to celebrate, to honor, to laugh, to
dance, to be glad because the inevitable

On Tuesday, March 20, two-thirds of San Marcos customers lost power because
a vandal at San Diego Gas and Electricity Co. wrapped an extension cord around
an overhead electrical wire. The power outage lasted almost two hours at CSUSM
and spurred confusion among most students and faculty. Many students left
school for the day, not knowing if or when the power would return. Above, junior

In an effort to prove the relevance of the circumstances and casualties of the war in Iraq, The Progressive
Activist's Network held a demonstration near University Hall on Thursday, March 22. Members of the
Progressive Activist's Network and several supporters lay scattered on the concrete, underneath
white sheets as onlookers passed by. March 19,2007 marked the four year anniversary of the war in
Iraq. Above (left), Sgt. Clayton Anderson of the Marine Corps observes the demonstration

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

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

Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of
Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of
Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini
trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every
corner there lurks another masterpiece,
which brings me to another great aspect of
the city: signposts. Little black signposts are
all over the place pointing this way and that:

beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the

Rome is a grand place to visit any time
of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is
less congested, however, the weather may
not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly.
And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk
to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large,
round sculpture of a face with the famous
"Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name
seems appropriate because it was widely
believed at the time of its creation that if
a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it
would be bitten off! Apparently I am not
a liar as my hand came out unscathed so
it all turned out well, despite the pouring
rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening
after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up
with a fellow traveler and we had a great
time exchanging travel stories as we
walked through the pouring rain beside
the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many
fond memories of Rome; it really is an
enchanting place and I fully believe that,
regardless of whether you visit to embrace
history and art, or simply relax and sip
cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love
with the Eternal City.

Jock Talk With Josh
New opportunities this Spring
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff WriterI love my
family, but I
considered disowning them
after what happened to me this
Spring Break.
The Friday
that school let
put I went to Lo$ Angeles for
the weekend. I came back to
San Diego on Sunday. I then left
on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona
with my grandparertts to visit"
family and go to baseball spring
training.
11:30AM on Tuesday March
27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something
to eat. My phone rings while I 'm
eating. I don't pick up the phone
because I don't recognize the
number, and it's too loud in the
restaurant to hear. The mystery
number leaves a message. /
Noon: I jump into the driver's
seat of my car, grab my phone
and listen to the message. My
grandparents begin to chatter.
"Hi my name i s -—-- and I am
with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts.
"Oh shit, please be quiet," I
yell t omy grandparents.
The me§sage goes on. "I would
like to s et up an interviewrwith
you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Please call me back as soon as
you can."^

Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is
Joshua Sandoval returning your
call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't
make a Wednesday or Thursday
meeting. Please give me a call
back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to
meet with you."
12:30PM: Back, on the road
to Tucson. There are 40 MPH
winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle
of dust storms for most of the
t rip thus far. The phone rings.
It's the call I've been waiting for
all my life. I need to devote my
full attention towards this call,
so I pull over to the side of the
road and answer,
s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San
Diego Padres. We want you
to come in on Wednesday or
Thursday for an interview."
"I'm- actually on my way to
spring training as we speak. I'm
coming back to San Diego on
Friday?'
"O.K. well how about Monday
at 1PM at the Main offices at 100
Park Boulevard?"
"Monday at 1PM sounds
great," I gratefully agree to.
I love my grandparents and I
love my family in Tucson, but if
the Padres said the interview had
to be on Wednesday or Thursday
then I would have turned the car
right around.
3:16AM on Wednesday March
28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every
time I pass out, I dream about
working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that
has been on my mind since I got
the call.
10:08AM: I get a text message
from Karin telling me she has a
court side ticket to the Clippers
game for me. She knows I'm out
of town, but decides to rub it in
anyway.
10:09AM: "I love my family...
I love my family," I have to keep
repeating this to myself so that I
don't jump in my car and drive
to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only
the Clippers. If it was a court
side ticket to a Lakers game
I would ditch my family and
would ask Jack Nicholson to be
my new Uncle.
I haven't been out of San
Diego for 24 hours and I've
already delayed My opportunity
of becoming a Padre and sitting
r
f
courtside at a Clippers game.
11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys
me a new suit.
1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa
and I go to the Diamondbacks
and White Sox game. D-baeks
win 8-0.
6:45PM: I win $100 playing
blackjack at a casino in Tucson.
I'm starting to feel better about
being in Tucson. I no longer have
to convince myself that I really
do love my family. I really have
had some great opportunities in
life thanks in part to my family.
B y the time this article comes
out, my interview will be over.
Who knows if I will be a Padre
by then?r Either way, I can't
believe some of the things I have
been able to accomplish with the
help of CSUSM and my family.
I have worked with the "San
Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a
sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a
job with the San Diego Padres.
I may be getting a little sappy
as the wind stretch of my college
days are nearing* but it's hard to
put into words how grateful I
am to my family at home and at
CSUSM.

Coverage of the Goodguys 7th
Annual Del Mar Nationals Car Show
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Rumbles and purrs sounded, the distinct
whine of a supercharger a clarion call in
the crisp spring air tinged with the mingled
aromas of kettle corn, falafel, burgers and
dogs. Sunny with blue skies and a cool
breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank
threatened to encroach upon the festivities,
but nothing would deter the thousands of
car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage.
Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop
of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos
stock and
^H^^^^^SL
modified, classics and kit cars - abounded,
their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to
behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson
reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange.
In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods
cooled their tires in the cavernous space,
contestants for the coveted Goodguys
Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while
their less privileged yet still breathtak- •
ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I
Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed !
the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs
boasting retro images from the 1950s.
For the kids, Goodguys offered a free
model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Kids could build their own model cars and
keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there
I were how-to seminars from respected hot
I rod builders and a meet and greet with
hot-rod builderThom Taylor,

More vendors hawked

H I down the Del Mar
HpNationals
"Cruisin'

of Meguiar's "Car Crazy" television
show, seemed omnipresent, his camera crew
trailing behind as he sought
out the hottest rides
of the show.

bodies that are partially made of wood
- called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling
fountain, the collection of woodies basked
in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards
and vanity license plates, while a live band
played nearby.
Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts
HBBP^
p erused
H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of
^
wares offered by the various vendors
and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles,
while munching happily on traditional
fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees
proved that one can never be too young or
too old to appreciate the allure of the auto.
Families, small children in tew, couples,
groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid
their money to see the show. Whether clad
in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in
rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy
hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac,
show-goers had one thing in common - a
love for cars. The magnetic power of the
hotrod does not discriminate.

CSU approves 10 percent hike in student fees
Undergraduate tuition to increase $252 next semester
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On March 14, the CSU Board
of Trustees voted to increase
student fees by 10% for the
2007-08 academic year. As a
result, undergraduate students
will pay $252 more. Student fees
increased by 14% in the 2004-05
academic year. In the 2005-06
academic year, fees increased by
8%. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger provided an additional
$54.4 million for the 20062007 academic year in order to
eliminate the 8% increase that
was originally proposed by the
Chancellor Reed and the Board
of Trustees.
For years, the CSU system
of higher education has been
looked to an example of quality
education at an affordable price.
With 23 campuses, the CSU is
made up of 417,000 students
and 46,000 faculty and staff
members. It began in 1961 and
annually, 84,000 students obtain
degrees from the CSU.
In 2004, Chancellor Reed
cut the budget by $11 million. In order to eliminate the
fee increase,* Chancellor Reed
would have to eliminate salary
increases for top executives and
compensation packages for professors who have either retired,

or have gone on to work outside of the CSU. From October 2005 to January 2007, CSU
Presidents, combined, received
a total salary raise of $919,270.
All CSU Presidents receive compensation that includes housing,
car and salary fees. From July
2005 to July 2006, CSU Presidents, combined, received a 21%
compensation increase, totaling
$1,312,982.
Chair of the CSU Board of
Trustees Roberta Achtenberg,
said, "Student fees are part of
the overall revenue mix that is
needed to sustain our outstanding university system. The CSU
receives its revenues basically
from state General Funds and
fee revenues.
Currently, employee compensation for all employees accounts
for 74 percent of the expenditure
budget. The trustees are committed to bringing all salaries up
to market rate in order to remain
competitive. We cannot move
forward on this effort without
either a larger portion of the state
General Fund or an increase in
student fees."
Dennis Armstrong of the CSU
stated, "The Governor's budget
assumes $174.5 million from
the state General Fund and $123
million in fee revenue, based on
a 10 percent increase in student
fees and fee revenue associated
with a 2.5 percent enrollment
growth." Armstrong added, "To
eliminate the fee increase, the
legislature and Governor would
need to provide an additional
$65.2 million of state general
fund revenue. If any portion
of the fees are 'bought out,' the
CSU Board of Trustees would
rescind that portion of the fee
increase," said Armstrong.
history program also requires
two sets of official transcripts,
three letters of recommendation, a 750-word statement, and
a formal writing example.
The history program marks
a significant step in CSUSM's
history. With the arrival of this
new program CSUSM becomes
even more distinguished and
unique for current and future
Cougars. The program will be
the first master's degree combining history and media in the
country. The program will also
be the only program outside of
the east cost offering these specific studies. "Students pursuing CSUSM's Master of Arts in
History will not only master a
specific historical field but also
acquire skills in new media and
technology. Our degree allows
students to tailor their coursework to their individual historical interests and technological needs. Students will have
the option of completing their
degree with either a traditional
master's thesis or an extensive
project involving technology and
history. Additionally, the program will provide opportunities
for internships and experience
teaching history in the college
classroom" states the CSUSM
History Department's webpage.

From STUDENT, page 1
students on the CSU's past and the
CFA's reasons for going on strike.
It was noted that since 2002, Chancellor Reed and the Board of Trustees
have raised student fees by 76%. The
administration has plans to increase
the fees by 10% through 2010. It was
also noted that 10% of the CSU budget
comes from fee increases and that
80% of the budget comes from the
state. This information proved that the
increases in student fees do not affect
the salary budget for faculty. Although
some believe that the increases in
student fees add to faculty salaries,
the two are unrelated. Student fees,
students learned at the meeting, will
increase by 91% in the nextfiveyears.
Dr. Linda Pershing of the Women's Studies department discussed
how the department has seen only
one new professor since 2001. Dr.
Pershing mentioned that the Women's Studies department will lose one
more professor this spring as a result
of California's cost of living and
the inadequate pay. "We're losing
people," Dr. Pershing said. "We can't
attract new faculty." Stubbs added,
"It does affect us. If teachers don't
want to work for the CSU, classes
will be cancelled."
Stubbs emphasized that students
are here to learn from professors
who want to be a part of the CSU
as much as students do. "60% of
Cal State professors come from the
CSU," Stubbs said.
Upon learning that the CFA will
go orf strike before the end of the
semester, one student asked Stubbs,
"How do we show support?" Stubbs
replied, "We're not standing behind
them. We're standing beside them.
Sign a commitment card. Pledge to
support the two day rolling strike
and not cross the picket line."
Evelyn Henriquez, a member of
ASI's President's Cabinet, discussed.
ASI's neutral position on the CFA
strike. Henriquez mentioned how
ASI's Board of Directors did not
ask the President's Cabinet for their
stance on the strike. "So they've
basically silenced a vast majority of
students who have power," said Henriquez. Upon hearing this, a student
"We're not standing
behind them. We're
standing beside
them."
-Angela Stubbs
President of CSUSQE
from the crowd asked, "Is there any
way to overturn this vote on ASI?"
Henriquez and Stubbs agreed that
there wasn't any way to overturn the
strike. "On other campuses, ASI is
supportive," Stubbs said. "But some
are taking a neutral stance."
During ASI's March 5 meeting,
Vice President of External Affairs,
Jeremy Mills stated ASI's resolution
on the CFA and the CSU collective
bargaining. Mills said, "Basically, we
are taking the stance that students have
no place in the collective bargaining
process. There's no way for us to truly
know what's going on in the collective bargaining process because they
do have closed session meetings and
the only information we get is when
either side walks out of that meeting
and spins it and so it's very hard for us
to get away from the emotional pleas
and get down to the nitty-gritty of
what the business is all about. And so
basically we're saying that we understand that [faculty] is trying to get a
contract negotiation, we understand
that it's going to start possibly affecting our student constituency groups.
We think that [faculty] should get paid
a fair and equitable rate."
Mills added, "Not necessarily us
on this campus so much, but on other
campuses, [students] have been
extremely pulled in both directions
by their administration and their CFA
because for both sides if they get the
students on their side, they have a
stronger likelihood of getting what
they want. We're basically saying
we're taking a position of that we
don't have a position because there's
no way we could have one because
it's too complex for us to process."
Regarding the time in which students will learn of the strike taking
place, one student asked, "How
much heads up will we have?"
Stubbs replied, "You might have a
week, you might have a day before."
Regarding Chancellor Reed, another
student asked, "How will this affect
him?" Stubbs explained that the
strike on Twin Oaks Valley Road
would generate media attention,
immediately resulting in politicians
enforcing change. Each campus will
sporadically participate in two day
rolling strikes until a negotiation is
reached. The strikes will not occur
in the same two days. One student
asked, "Why not do all the strike in
two days?" An SQUE representative
from CSULA answered, "Then he
knows we've done it already, and it
gives the other campuses the chance
to see who's on strike."

Track Team Looks
Great at Occidental
Distance Classic
March 16, 2007. It was another strong performance for the Cougar track team on Friday,
as the squad qualified six more athletes for
Nationals at the Occidental Distance Classic.
On the men's side, three Cougars earned
their trip to the Nationals Championships.
They're the first CSUSM men to qualify since
the 2005 season.
Leading the way was Juan Mejia. The cross
country star competed in his first 10k run of
the track season, and certainly did not disappoint. He finished 2nd, posting a time of
31:0X08.
Two 5,000-meter runners qualified as well
for the men. Sergio Gonzalez posted a time of
14:58.70, and Mike Crouch ran 15:11.16. They
finished 3rd and 5th, respectively.
Finally, though Tony Guadagnini didn't
qualify for Nationals, he gave a strong performance in the 1,500m,finishing5th with a time
of3:57.83.
Not to be outdone, three women qualified
for Nationals as well on Friday. Morgan Sjogren, Emily Jones, and Whitney Patton all ran
great times and will join the numerous Cougar
women who have already earned their way to
the Championships thus far.
Competing in the 10k, Patton was tremendous. She won the meet easily, and her time of
37:44.20 was over a minute better than the top
qualifying standard.
Meanwhile, Patton and Jones competed in
the steeplechase andfinishedfirstand second,
respectively. Patton ran 11:22.24, and Jones
finished right behind her with an 11:24.64.
Baseball Blasts Central
Christian in Double-Header
March 17, 2007. Central Christian
College came to San Marcos all the way
from Kansas, but the Cougars proved
to be unkind hosts, sweeping them in a
double-header Saturday, >
CSUSM came out swinging i n game
one, winning4 17 6 M 7 innings; After
spotting Central Christian a run in the
top of the first, the Cougars exploded
for their best offensive inning of the
season m the bottom of the frame.
Things started slow with a leadoff

to reach. CSUSM would capitalize in a
big way, as Scott Shapiro knocked in
the firstrun with a single* Austin Way
followed that up with an RBI base hit of
his own to make the score 2-0,
Then Central Christian starter Greg
Daugherty began to struggle, hitting
Terry Moritz with a pitch to load the
bases. After a pop-out, Ian Chatfield
was hit by a pitch to push across a
run, and Jason Hinton walked to plate
another. The next run came across
when Ricardo Moran was hit by a pitch.
Tristan Gale then delivered a two-RBI
double, knocking Daugherty out of the
game. But the Cougars weren't done, as
Shapiro walked, and Way delivered his
second hit of the inning - this time a
double that scored two more.
When the dust settled, the Cougars
led 10-1.
CSUSM made it 134 i n the 3rd, as
Gale and Way were knocked in by a

game.
Game two wasn't quite as flashy, but
CSUSM picked up the win nonetheless

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

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

by Viacom. It could mean limited access, or even less access
to entertaining, political and
informative videos. Going even
further, it might even mean
money for students and users.
Even though Google and YouTube offer free accounts and
free access to users, should the
lawsuit stay intact even after the
appeal of the DMCA, there is
no guarantee that there won't be
future lawsuits, and unseen costs
cast onto users. While there is
no statement or public talk of
Google or YouTube charging
users, there is no telling what
the future of the Internet and
the user interface of the mighty
search engine and its video sharing site will resort to if push
comes to shove. However, speculation aside, Google ensures
users that "We will certainly not
let this suit become a distraction
to the continuing growth and
strong performance of YouTube
and its ability to attract more
users, more traffic and build a
stronger community."

Students tend to need a pick-me-up. Balancing classes, homework, exam preparation,
and a social schedule is a tall order. What do
you reach for when the feet are dragging and
the eyes are drooping? Instant energy. Coffee
drinks will never be replaced, but the energy
drink craze has boomed in the last five years.
Red Bull got the ball rolling, and its success
has led to the invention of an array of brands
and flavors.
According to the official Red Bull website,
"To feel its effects at best, you should drink
it in times of increased mental and physical
strain, for example, on long sleep-inducl ing motorways, during intensive workjj| ing days, prior to demanding athletic
activities or before tests and exams.
It is recommended to drink one can
of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30
min before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game
in sports." Sounds like a pretty good
'choicl W ^xolfe^-fstutKftt.
There are two main on campus
sites to obtain a variety of
energy drinks. Tim and Sandra
Sabatini own and operate the
Campus Coffee Cart, which is
centrally located between the
Commons and Academic Hall.
Resting up against Science Hall,
the Campus Coffee Cart sells
snacks, sandwiches, and a bevy
of drinks. They carry roughly
15 different energy drinks, with
the cola flavored Rockstar, and
the original green label Monster, topping the list. Along
with the most popular, they
carry: Amp, Rockstar in guava
and orange, Monster Chaos,
Sobe, and sugar-free versions of
most. Sabatini said, "We listen
to the students and carry what
they recommend. Like Amp
(a Mountain Dew derivative),
we had requests to carry it and
now we do." Tim and Sandra
expressed that they encourage
student feedback and hope to
provide what the student body is
craving. According to Sabatini,
the Campus Coffee Cart sells "a
lot" of energy drinks from open
at 7 a.m., to close 5:30 p.m. MTh and 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
The second location for an
energy drink fix is Cougar
Corner. Conveniently located
inside The Dome, Cougar
Corner is run by Melanie
Neidens. Neidens said her most
popular energy drinks are original Monster, Red Bull, and newcomer Amp. Cougar Corner

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

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

�"Are you going to buy a sheep?" Idriss
inquired with a grin. In any other situation
this would seem to be a very odd question
indeed; however, this question was posed
during the run up to the Muslim holy day
of Eid Al-Adhha which involves a sheep
sacrifice. I was quite pleased that Idriss had
brought sheep into the conversation; after
aM,Twasvery curious about Muslim culture,
and throughout my three day stay Idriss (a
local guide) was more than happy to tell me
all about it. I decided to leave Marrakesh,
Morocco, to travel north to reach Fez, as I
had heard a lot of good things about the city.
The added allure of Fez being that I could
also visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. In addition to visiting Fez, I wanted
to stop off in Meknes and, time permitting,
I also hoped to spend a day in Casablanca,
which is almost on the way back to Marrakesh; well, not so much 'on the way' as a
few hours train ride to the coast. However,
first things first: I had to get from the train
station to my accommodation, a 400 yr. old
traditional Moroccan Riad.
A wild petite taxi ride later, and I was
dropped off at the Hotel Jamaiis near the
ancient walls of the old town Medina. The
entrance to Medina was too small for motor
vehicles, so I had to make my way to the
Riad through the uneven, high-walled
Medina passageways by foot. Luckily, it
was not hard to find, and when the large,
unassuming exteripr door was opened up—
i was completely blown away by what I saw.
Everything was covered in small colorful
mosaics, and in the center of the rectangular courtyard, a beautiful fountain bubbled
away soothingly. Four high interior walls
surrounded the courtyard. These walls contained all the rooms. Large mosaic-covered
columns supported the roof, while spectacular wooden shutters covered the various stained glass windows of the rooms. To
be honest, staying a Riad is the best way
to get a feel for Moroccan life. In addition,
staying in a Riad also allows one to taste
the most authentic food, which is exactly
what Luiza—the Riad owner—astounded
me with as I settled down to dinner in the
coolness of the courtyard. A huge, fragrant
assortment ofMoroccan style tapas was presented to me, after my hands were washed
in rose water. And, amongst the offerings
was a multicolored array of locally grown
olives—my favorite! I soon realized however, that this was only the first course.
Subsequently, plates and plates of exoticlooking sweet and spicy smelling foods
were brought out to me, along with a brief
explanation of what everything was. Needless to say, I went to bed that night very satisfied, which was a good thing as I had an
action packed day planned the next day.
Fez is basically three cities in one: Fez el
J'did, Fez el Bali— the old town in which
I stayed—and the new town, "Nouvelle
Ville." The sand-colored high fortress still
surrounds the Medina of Fez el Bali and is
one of the largest living medieval cities in
the world. I decided to go on a tour with
Idriss around the souqs (marketplaces) of
the Medina, as I had heard that navigating
through them yourself was next to impossible, and a few minutes later I was able to
see why. The souqs (pronounced 'sooks'),
which turned out to be right around the
corner from the Riad, were incredible;
a veritable maze of high-walled, narrow
alleys lined with various street vendors.
People were everywhere, going about their
daily lives. Pungent scents leapt into the
air as I walked by the assortment of stalls.
After a while, Idriss and I stumbled upon
a courtyard full of donkeys and bleating
sheep. Inevitably, it turned out to be the
place to buy sacrificial sheep along with the
hay to feed them. The courtyard naturally
contained a great deal of banter between the
vendors and buyers and the air was a buzz
with contagious energy. Indeed, it was at
this point that I felt so truly electrified that
I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I was
completely immersed in a world that was
so unbelievably different and this was only
day one of my travels in Fez.
The souqs of Fez were and still are today
a wonderful assault on the senses and is
one ^of the ^biggest draws to the area. Yet,
in my opinion, there is so much else to do
like a trip to the ancient city of Meknes
and the stunning Roman ruins of Volublis. In all, if you are in Morocco, do not be
daunted by the 10 hour train ride to get to
Fez from Marrakesh as it offers a very different experience than that of Marrakesh.
In fact, one thing I noticed was that everyone on the train was very friendly and very
talkative; within minutes the whole car was
chatting together. In fact, it was here on the
train that I had some very informative conversations about Morocco and the Muslim
faith. At one point I sat beside a man who
worked for the King's sister! It doesn't get
more culturally enriching than this, so get
out there, especially those of you who are
timid. Explore your senses of wonderment
and treat yourself to a taste of the unknown.
It will enrich you in ways you never thought
possible.

Sticky bubblegum pop with Sherwood
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Sherwood, the indie quartet from
San Luis Obispo, Ca. credits their
name inspiration to the enchanting green forest in the tale of "Robin
Hood." And, although there are no
tights or feather-decorated hats to be
found on the guys of Sherwood, the
morale in "Robin Hood" of good triumphing over evil fares well with the
motto of Sherwood's latest release, "A
Different Light."
Previously signed to SideCho
Records for their last full-length, "Sing
But Keep Going" and "The Summer
EP," releases the switch from SideCho
to MySpace Records has unquestionably been a positive transformation for
the band ofcreative twenty-somethings.
Comprised of Joe Greenetz (drums),
Nate Henry (vocals, bass guitar), Dan
Koch (guitar, vocals), and Mike Leibovich (keys, percussion), Sherwood's
makeup is all about making a difference through the causes they support:
Music Saves Lives, More Important
Than Music, and Save Darfur.
Reflecting an optimistic outlook,
"A Different Light" is uplifting and
easy on the ears, not to mention fun to
sing along to. Reminiscent of earlier
Relient K, with a hint of Motion City
Soundtrack, Sherwood's sound and
style—although catchy and as poppy
as bazooka bubblegum—is comparable to that of Mae and Waking Ashland.
Of the 13 tracks on "A Different
Light," there are quite a few standout
tracks. The title track, "Middle of the
Night," "Song In My Head," "Give
Up," and "Never Ready to Leave"
are all smashing hits on "A Different
Light." Additionally, "For the Longest
Time" is a snappy ditty, with plenty
of "bop-bop-bahs" to croon along to.
"Never Ready to Leave" is drenched
in Motion City Soundtrack harmonies
and could almost be the baby sister to
Motion City Soundtrack's single "LG
Faud." "Alive" begins with a softer
Beach Boys vibe then progresses into
another boppy and entertaining cut.
Rightly so, there isn't one track on "A
Different Light" that leads the listener
astray. There is no way to go wrong
with Sherwood's latest release.
Furthermore, for the Sherwood fans
out there, Sherwood is scheduled to
make a pit stop in San Diego on their
current tour at the House of Blues
downtown along with Mae and Relient
K on April 11. Set to play in the middle
of the lively lineup, the April 11 show
should be a magical and memorable
gig for band members and fans alike.

CJ
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Featuring 40 images by over 30 photographers, "Woman: A Celebration," currently,
being showcased at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, San Diego, is a
small yet powerful exhibition.
Images of women from all walks of life,
from various parts of the globe, spanning
seven decades hang side by side, forming
a surprisingly cohesive collection. "These
images enrich our understanding of how
women looked, were treated, or asserted
themselves in various eras, from the late
19th to the early and mid-20th century," said
Carol McCusker, MoPA Curator of Photog- *
raphy. "Collectively, they act as a tribute to
the. ageless art of portraiture and to women
of energy, confidence, endurance, humor and
intelligence everywhere."
In Bert Hardy's "Goodbye" (1942), two
women on a train platform wave. One presses
a handkerchief to her mouth, her perfect suit
contrasting with the fear and sadness in her
eyes. It is May 23,1942 in Great Britain; three
days later, Rommel would begin an offensive
against British troops at Gazala. Though it is
a British train platform in the picture, British
women, the same scene was being played out
in the United States, as American women in
their smart suits were waving goodbye, praying for the safe return of their loved ones.
Today the scene remains the same - different
place, different time, same heartbreak.
The juxtapositions and subtle connections between images make for a powerful
viewing experience. A young Latina gazes
rebelliously within a wreath of roses in Luis
Gonzales Palma's "La Rosa" (1989), a handpainted photogravure. Nearby, "She is a Tree
of Life to Them" (1950) depicts a young
black mother holding her children close, in
her eyes a look of distrust mingled with defiance. On the same wall, a woman dries cloth
in 1970s Vietnam, a lone black figure against
a sea of white cloth. On another wall, Heinrich Kuhn's "The Breeze" (c. 1904) captures
two English women in Victorian dress standing upon a grassy knoll being harassed by a
roguish breeze; one woman's jacket is blown
open, exposing the high-collared pristine
white blouse beneath.
There is a large element of subjectivity
when viewing any exhibition, but it seems
that that element takes on a particularly powerful role in the exhibition. "I am bringing
my own experience to this collection, and
that you the viewer will have your own journey through it. The joy here is not just in the
quality of the art, but also in the wonderment
at the who, what, where, when, and how of
these women," Whoopi Goldberg stated, in
the forward to the exhibition's accompanying book. The viewer can't help but bring
his or her own experiences — memories of
loved women, cultural associations, cherished ideals of feminine beauty - into the
museum. Whether the images correspond to
one's beliefs and memories or whether they
contradict them, "Woman: A Celebration" is
an experience not to be quickly forgotten.
"Woman: A Celebration" will be on view
at the Museum of Photographic Arts through
May 6, and those wanting to take the experience home with them may purchase the book
for $22.95 at MoPA's bookstore.

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

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

the CSUSM Writing Center
begins offering assistance
through online tutoring. The
new program is available to
all CSUSM students, and
works similar to the in person
appointments offered. Like all
WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center
is located in Kellogg 1103, and
is open from Monday through
Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I n response to the question,
what inspired this program,
the director of the writing
center since 2005, Erin Goldin
responded, "Many university
writing centers already offer
online tutoring. This campus
is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to
the writing center for tutoring.
This way, busy students can
still get help."
Now easier than ever, asking
for advice about any class
paper is achievable in four
simple steps through online
tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer
a few simple questions about

Writing consultants suggest

Most responses will take three

Goldin still recommends
making an appointment to
come in whenever possible
because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend
thirty minutes. The more
interaction there is, the more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The house itself is part

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

of a California roll baked with a
special sauce and cream cheese
on top. Nothing else dissolves

"Evil Blue Thing," my friend
said as I resumed my seat next
to her at the bar. "Yeah,
but what's it called," I
responded, pointing to the
brilliant blue libation in her
hand. She j ust giggled, and
I realized that The Evil Blue
Thing was already working
its malevolent magic. The
beverage seemed to glow
with impish potential.
Sinfully sweet, but not
saccharinely so, the Evil
Blue Thing goes down
smooth, feels warm and
creamy on the tongue, and
leaves a pleasant aftertaste
in one's mouth. Like many
mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts
from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts
of alcohol, so the Evil Blue
Thing can easily live up to
its name if the drinker is
innocent and allows him or
herself to get tricked by the
Thing's wicked charms. That
said, the Evil Blue Thing can
be a pleasurable companion if
one is savvy and enjoys sweet
(shocking blue) cocktails.
To make your very own Evil
Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2
ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce
Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2
ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir,
serve, and enjoy!

Not far from our campus is
one of San Diego's gems, a Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery
company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in
Downtown San Diego, opened to
the public on February 2,1989. In
1999, the company installed new
brewery equipment, which more
than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In
addition, the company opened a
new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight
types of beer year-round. The
Amber Lager was their featured
beer while my friends and I were
at the brewery.
A few weeks ago a good friend
of mine was turning 23, and my #
friends and I were contemplating
where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out
ideas. Then, I looked down at the
beer in my hand and read "Karl
Strauss." I knew at that moment
where we would be feasting that
evening.
Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination
for a f un night out. Not only were
we served delicious food, but we
also had a variety of delicious
beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening
my memory was not functioning
at f ull capacity, but there was one
beer that stuck in my memory; it
was the Amber Lager.
This beer is copper
in color with a
slight sweetness
that
Cascade
hops provide. It
is a lager, so it is
fermented at cold
temperatures,
which
provides
for a very smooth
finish. The amber
lager complements
almost any food.
We enjoyed an
array of their appetizers, which were
all delicious with the
Amber Lager.
The Amber Lager
is Master Brewer Karl
Strauss's favorite beer
and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can
find it almost everywhere locally in San
Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have
it on tap. Also, most
grocery stores and Beverages and More carry
it. But I recommend head-
ing up to the brewery. If you are
with your friends or on a date, it
is good spot to have a good time
and enjoy great beer. For more

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

Pride Staff Writer
Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix"
set in the dreamlike cinematography of
"Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the
barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist
flying, sword wielding, historical adventure.
Miller, who wrote the novel that became the
film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City."
"300" is based on the story of the Spartans
of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors,

in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the

The acting in this movie is well done.
Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the
screen with a booming voice and wicked

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

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

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

carry the plastic bags f ull of food
and the gallons of orange juice.
In the time it took for students t o
walk across the street, a Sheriff
arrived at the Home Depot. The
Sheriff had arrested one of the
workers. If any of the men are to
step beyond the unmarked line
that separates the sidewalk f rom
the parking lot, they could be
immediately arrested. Marchena
suggested that the students tell
the Sheriff what they were h ere
t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant
workers, let them know that they
were students f rom CSUSM and
asked if they wanted anything to
eat or d rink. One student said to
a worker whom he had j ust given
a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol."
The man replied, "Poco English."
At this, each young man shrugged
and smiled.
The Spanish speakers of the
group were able t o hold longer
conversations with the men,
which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves
said, "I thought it was really
rewarding to come catch them
o ff guard and they let u s in and
told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it
because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little
of what they were saying. They
were really f un and easy t o talk
to." One of the men told Spada
that when a local bank across
the street had been robbed, the
police immediately questioned
the men. Spada said that the man
she was speaking to said, "They
might have thought it looked like
me but I would have never done
something like that."
Students also gave flyers to
the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where
their children could be tutored.
The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach
that holds Spanish masses.
Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom
Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said,
"They were saying that i t's
tough to get a j ob— sometimes
you get work, sometimes you
don't. They come here for food;
they're very impoverished. They
cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and
leave their families behind. So
many people blame migrants for
coming here j ust for the benefits.
But how can they [get] benefits
like health care, if citizens can't
even get i t?" Carillo added, " In
reality they are people who want
t o help."
I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most
students had enough time t o talk
with the men, the border patrol
showed u p for the man who had
been arrested. Some of the men,
however, sprinted into the street
in spite of the opposing t raffic t o
avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said,
"One particular thing that stood
out t o me is that as the men saw
the other guy being arrested and
they were telling me that it made
them angry because the action of
one guy reflects on the others."
Ramirez added, "I asked them if
they were treated well, and they
said for the most p art it is very
p eaceful except when the minute
men are there. The minute men
t ry t o pull them over a certain
line so that they will get arrested.
They also told me that there was
one time where three gangsters
came and stole their valuables,
and the security guard did nothing."
The event itself inspired ASI
and Intervarsity t o recruit more
students t o serve these men more
o ften. Marchena said, "There's a
Catholic organization t hatreaches
out t o migrant workers and the
homeless. We need t o see how
we can fit in with t hem— how we
can do this more consistently, at
least once a month. You kinda get

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

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

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

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

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

Apparently, one cannot visit
Dublin without seeing the Guinness storehouse and, although it

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

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

to nibble on while making my
decision on which rolls to order,
our p arty all started o ff with a
bowl of Miso soup and a house
salad with ginger dressing. For
those who have never t ried such
a house salad, it is perfectly
exquisite, with a large bowl of
romaine lettuce, chopped red
cabbage, and sliced carrots
topped with a delectably light
ginger sauce, and f reshly shredded ginger.
Though there are dozens of
custom made rolls available
only at Matsuo's, there are a
select few of my favorite rolls
that j ust melt in your mouth.
The first roll I started with is
my all-time favorite, the MC
roll. The MC roll is comprised
of a California roll baked with a
special sauce and cream cheese
on top. Nothing else dissolves
so b eautifully upon the first bite
as the MC roll. Next up was the
Monkey Stick roll. The Monkey
Stick is made up of spicy t una,
crab, cucumber, avocado, carrots, cooked tempura style with
a spicy sauce drizzled over
it, and* garnished atop a small
salad. The spiciness paired

Beer of the Week
Karl Strauss Amber Lager

Pride Staff Writer
"Evil Blue Thing," my friend
said as I resumed my seat next
to her at the bar. "Yeah,
but what's it called," I
responded, pointing to the
brilliant blue libation in her
hand. She j ust giggled, and
I realized that The Evil Blue
Thing was already working
its malevolent magic. The
beverage seemed to glow
with impish potential.
Sinfully sweet, but not
saccharinely so, the Evil
Blue Thing goes down
smooth, feels warm and
creamy on the tongue, and
leaves a pleasant aftertaste
in one's mouth. Like many
mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts
from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts
of alcohol, so the Evil Blue
Thing can easily live up to
its name if the drinker is
innocent and allows him or
herself to get tricked by the
Thing's wicked charms. That
said, the Evil Blue Thing can
be a pleasurable companion if
one is savvy and enjoys sweet
(shocking blue) cocktails.
To make your very own Evil
Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2
ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce
Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2
ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir,
serve, and enjoy!

Not far from our campus is
one of San Diego's gems, a Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery
company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in
Downtown San Diego, opened to
the public on February 2,1989. In
1999, the company installed new
brewery equipment, which more
than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In
addition, the company opened a
new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight
types of beer year-round. The
Amber Lager was their featured
beer while my friends and I were
at the brewery.
A few weeks ago a good friend
of mine was turning 23, and my #
friends and I were contemplating
where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out
ideas. Then, I looked down at the
beer in my hand and read "Karl
Strauss." I knew at that moment
where we would be feasting that
evening.
Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination
for a f un night out. Not only were
we served delicious food, but we
also had a variety of delicious
beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening
my memory was not functioning
at f ull capacity, but there was one
beer that stuck in my memory; it
was the Amber Lager.
This beer is copper
in color with a
slight sweetness
that
Cascade
hops provide. It
is a lager, so it is
fermented at cold
temperatures,
which
provides
for a very smooth
finish. The amber
lager complements
almost any food.
We enjoyed an
array of their appetizers, which were
all delicious with the
Amber Lager.
The Amber Lager
is Master Brewer Karl
Strauss's favorite beer
and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can
find it almost everywhere locally in San
Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have
it on tap. Also, most
grocery stores and Beverages and More carry
it. But I recommend head-
ing up to the brewery. If you are
with your friends or on a date, it
is good spot to have a good time
and enjoy great beer. For more

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

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

The acting in this movie is well done.
Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the
screen with a booming voice and wicked
fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo
(Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her

This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale.

to fall short in any category. It's a guarantee
that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer
for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this
movie is that you are left wishing for more.

to vote
on Strike
against
the CSU in
March
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Beginning on Monday,
March 5 through Thursday,
March 8, the CSUSM California Faculty Association will
vote whether or not they will
officially go on strike against
the CSU Chancellor's Office
and the Board of Trustees in
an effort for a fair contract.
Dr. Janet Powell, President of
the local chapter of the CFA,
said, "We feel very confident
this vote will pass statewide."
All
faculty
members
who belong to the CFA can
vote two separate ways. On
March 5, the faculty will be
able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will
also accept voting through
email but can not guarantee
anonymity. Once the voting
is finished, CSUSM should
know by Monday, March 19
if and when the CFA will go
on strike.
If the CFA chooses to strike,
they will do so simultaneously
with at least three Cal State
Universities. The order and
days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown.
Faculty members could go on
strike "on any given Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after
the CFA takes part in strikes
across the California, and the
Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to
continue the strike. Dr. Powell
added, "The pressure is on
the Chancellor and Board of
Trustees without hurting the
students. We don't want to
leave students out there. If we
could do something else, we
would."
During last Friday's ASI
meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU
collective bargaining. Vice
President of External Affairs,
Jeremy Mills, said, "Basically,
we are taking the stance that
students have no place in the
collective bargaining process.
There's no way for us to truly
know what's going on in the
collective bargaining process
because they do have closed
session meetings and the only
information we get is when

of Cougar Central on the third
floor of Craven Hall as the

(pronounced
"TOOK-woot")
is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty
member Brendon Cesmat, this
word was given to Cal State S an
Marcos by a Luiseno elder and
adopted by the first graduating
class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot. In 1998, when the

Pride Staff Writer
In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put
his efforts toward creating the
Social and Behavioral Research
Institute of CSUSM. Since then,
SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being
of the public on both national and
local levels. On June 30, due to the
strategic plan of the university and
to the lack of finances, CSUSM's
institute will close.
Director of Research, Allen
Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994
to build the SBRI into what it has
become today. Risley said, "The
marketplace is very competitive to
get research projects and the costs
of research projects." Risley added,
"I will miss work. These projects
make a difference in the community." The institute has completed
thousands of studies on social
behavior. Some of those studies
include health care for diabetics,
victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the
public opinion in Carlsbad.

said, "The spirit of Tukwut
has haunted the campus ever
since the former administration
denied Tukwut its opportunity
at the ballot box."
Associated Student President
Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was

(students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if
the Luiseno people were okay

Cougar replaced it as our official mascot."
Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs
said that steps have been taken
in the right direction to reclaim

giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves.
Lee said, "ASI, as the official
student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a

embrace Tukwut and hope that
all students, faculty, adminisr

Schulz said, "In order to
donate .blood, you must be at
least 17 years old, weigh 110
pounds and be in good health.
Also, if you have gotten a tattoo
in the past 12 months, you
can temporarily not donate."
Schtite a dded, r "Every two
seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern
California, donating blood
is so important because
only
three
percent
of
Southern California's population donates. The amount of
blood actually donated is one
pint. The adult body contains
10 to 12 pints. So by donating
you will be someone's hero- you
may give a newborn, a child, a
mother or a father, a brother, or
a sister another chance at life.
In fact, you may help save up to
three lives With jùst one donation."
For any f urther questions,
the Pre-Health Society will be
available at their sign up table
this week, Monday through
Thursday, during University
Hour.

that the Luisefio people are

and their language and recognizes them as the indigenous people on whose land
the university sits."
The Courtyard Dedication Ceremony will include
a blessing by a Luisefio
elder, a message f rom ASI
president Roy Lee, and live
Luisefio music sung in the
native language. Biggs says,
"Some say these songs have
been around for 10,000
years." The day's eyents
will o ffer a unique oppor-

and to pay respect to those who

Biggs said that she hopes to

forgotten. Another dream is to
get a mountain lion statue, but
that will depend on f unding and
private donations, and is not
something that will happen in

Lee says, "Tukwut Courtyard is a step to acknowledge
and honor the Luiseno, but also
honor this educational institution, home of the Tukwutum,
home of the cougars, Cal State

first permanent recognition of
Tukwut on this campus."

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

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

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

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

i nniyopinion, the real Sahar a experience requires a leap
out of your comfort zone and this
means adapting to an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar
customs; and if you have never
seen such a different land and
lifestyle, then I would encourage
such a trip even more. Although
it may seem cliché, camel riding
is a good place to start the experience, along with camping
in Berber style tents. There is
nothing like traversing the red
sands on a camel t o really feel
immersed in a different mindset,
and it is very easy to organize.
There are numerous companies,
both local and international, that
have superb deals for a complete
Saharan adventure, and most
of them will offer the same trip
that I experienced. All you need
to take with you is an open mind
- what you will bring back is a
new understanding of another
culture, yourself and immense
satisfaction.

Pride Staff Writer
Get your peanuts, crackerjacks here!
It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of
the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers
and catchers reported to camp February
15 to open spring training 2007. Before
the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted,
baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona
and Florida to get loose for a grueling
162 game schedule. Spring training is a
time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out
even. And there is always a chance to
catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003
Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit
Tigers. There are questions and a bit of
drama going into the 2007 season
The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers,
invested an extra $30 million in their
roster in an attempt to break a 98 year
championship drought. Last year they
lost 96 games and finished in last place
in the weakest division in baseball, the
NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual
World Series winners, won a paltry 83
games. That's five games less than any
other first place club. This off season
the Cubs front office concentrated on
some key pieces that could allow them
to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was
signed to play centerfield for a measly
$136 million over eight years. It will be
a n experiment for the recently departed
2B. Last year there were mixed results
defensively as Soriano played leftfield
in Washington. The Cubs also added
fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for
his attitude, track record, and pension
for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message
to National League umpires: bring your
sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's
spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break
the "Curse of the Billy G oat"?
The New York Yankees provide the
drama. As usual, the soap opera of the
Yankees organization started early this
year. The big money Yanks, who haven't
won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off
season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary
Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much
other than get younger. Then starting
pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften
injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The
best post season closer in baseball his-
tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with
his contract situation. Long time Yankee
hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor
league contract offer from t he,team.
Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the
last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his
one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't
going t o dinner and having sleepovers
any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but
it gives the Yankees continuity in one
area, turmoil.
Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind
and barring injury it looks like a lock on
paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR
in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds
as a villain; taking the home r un record
f rom one of the most respected players
in the history of the game. It is so ugly
that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has
contemplated skipping the game when
Bonds breaks of one of the most hallowed records in all of sports.
The Padres have a new manager in
SDSU product, Bud Black. The 12 year
r un for the Padres Manager Bruce Bochy
is over, ending his association with the
organization since 1983. San Diego
brought Marcus Giles in to play with big
brother Brian on their hometown team.
The Giles are from El Cajon. The Padres
also added a young slugging third baseman by trading promising rookie Josh
Barfield. Kyle Kouzmanoff has the sweet
right handed power stroke that General
Manager Kevin Towers has % been looking for at 3B. Greg Maddux brings his
333 wins and immeasurable wisdom to
an already solid staff. Jake Peavy will t ry
to bounce back from a sub-par year that
saw his ERA j ump by more than a f ull
r un and 6'10" pitcher Chris Young will
try to build off his solid first year in San
Diego. The Yale grad, led all of baseball
in opponents batting average against last
year. David Wells is back in a Padre uniform, back in his hometown. Wells hails
f rom Point Loma, has 230 career victories, and is good for at least one bar fight
per season. When the Padres let Dave
Roberts and his 49 stolen bases migrate
north to SF they opened a glaring hole
in the leadoff spot. Will the Padres win
the NL West for the third straight year?
We shall see.

With poor conditions at the Lake San
Marcos Country Club, the women's golf
team had a battle on their hands. Senior
Jennell French set a new school record
by recording her third victory in individual scoring.
French and the rest of the women's
golf team had their struggles through the
course. With poor conditions on the golf
course, scores were higher than usual.
French finished with a +6 and managed
to stay ahead of the field of 67.
As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a
+48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore
Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin,
junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana
Bormann helped lead the team to 6th
place by finishing in the top-40.
The men's golf team took a one-stroke
lead in the first round and held off Point
Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San
Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior
Matt Determan helped lead the fight by
tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place
in individual scoring. Determan shot five
under par in the final two rounds to finish
with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs.
Following Determan was Junior Scott
Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season,
Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place
debut finishing with a +12.
Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact
shooting a 74 in the final round to finish
tied for 15h place with fellow teammate,
Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the
tournament with back-to-back 75s.
The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team
looks to recoup from the wet conditions
and take aim towards nationals. Both teams
now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele
Canyon Country Club.

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

',
> the exhibit. Leibovitz's decision to
combine the varying dynamics of
her life into pne book wa$ based
on her notion that her professional
life and personal life are not two
separate lives, but one life, innately
intertwined with all the characters
and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum,
the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's
photographic life as a whole.
The first photograph, you'll
encounter is that of Wadi Rum,
Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's
most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore,
pregnant with Scout Larue Willis.
This image, revolutionary in 1991,
boldly revealed what many wanted
to cover up.
Leibovitz's photographs are as
much about the human form as they
are about human loss, love, pain
and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs
themselves. Leibovitz captures the
assertive expression of General
Schwarzkopf as she similarly did
Currently on display at the San

bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's

Excerpts from the book are placed
In Leibovitz's photograph of
next to several of the images in
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands
with three of his staff members,
Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing
t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment
stacked on the floor. Johnson and
Loyola are armed with cameras.
Monts supports a lighting fixture
with his arms. Moore stands with
both hands in his jacket pockets,
with that spark in his eye, insisting
he has something to say and that he

In Leibovitz's photograph of

The family photographs, though
smaller in scale compared to the
others, portray Leibovitz's own

the wall, Leibovitz's brother feeds
his baby daughter a bottle beside
the pool as his father looks on. In
another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in
her parents' kitchen as her mother,
wearing a bathing suit, as she is in
most photos, prepares breakfast as
Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper.
I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve
more space; at least for us to move
around in and become lost in our
own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table,
beside the pool, or huddled around
a new baby.
Chi a wall adjacent to the young
actress Scarlet Johansson and
the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan
Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The
photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005
subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work
Fat Tire
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire
in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under
a creative employee-owner business model in
1991. The company functions in an open-book
manner and all employees have .complete
access to accounting information.
New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual
focus on reducing, reusing and recycling
the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities.
For each barrel of brew sold, they donate
one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated
over two million dollars t o non-profit char- .
ities.
The success of New Belgium has led to
a great line of awesome brews including
Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer
ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in
memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived
home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire
with the recipes he had created while on a
bicycle trip in Belgium.
The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name.
The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per-
cent. The bottles are shaped like a common
glass beer bottle; however, the company has
\ designed a glass necklace style neck for the
bottle, distinguishing it from those that are
I mass produced.
I
The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits
I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only
K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends
*
a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The
taste buds search for more answers as
they hold an election and vote for Fat
Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale.
A fter the complete disappearance of
the contents inside the bottle, the
mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale.
The company's website suggests
the ale be consumed with salmon,
dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies,
omelets at midnight, sweet potato
French fries, and other grilled and
garlic items.
Not caring for fish or having
time to grill, I consumed the* ale
with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza.
The combo was perfect. So, next
time you hop on your bike, throw
on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget
to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

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

Enraged, emotional and
impassioned students gathered
last Thursday, Feb. 15, in front
of University Hall, to show support and opposition for an organization called Survivors.
Large sandwich boards were
propped up against a light post,
and another was supported by
Survivor missionary Joey Cox,
to present their cause.
Signs displayed presented
large, graphic images of a bor^
tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion
provided by the Survivors organization.
As students, staff and the
members of Survivors exchanged
expressive words, debates, and
conversations of agreement, a
demonstration began in front of
the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand
in front of the signs, blocking
the images from other students
passing by.

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

�Sex workshop brings crowd to Clarke Field House
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Feb. 13, Health
Educator Cathy Nguyen and Passion Party Representative Jackie
Weber Cruz held an informative
event on sex at the Clarke Field
House as students ate creamfilled pastries.
According to the pink "Sex
and Cream" flyer advertising
the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and
includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at
the Clarke Field House translated
into: useful services that our
SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides,
along with a basket full of lube
and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and
having a stranger administrate
lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were
readily available.
SHCS's Health Educator,
Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the
differences between bacterial
and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections). Nguyen also

first hand-job." The hand job was
basically a hand massage given
by a soft purple rubber glove with
"rows and rows of flexible jelly
nubs." The seminar also included
edible massage creams, lubes
and powders, along with various
vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike
masturbation sleeve" by the name
of Gigi which Cruz said, as she
addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you
don't want to." Though certain
people admitted that they left the
seminar smelling like catsup and
mulch because of the pheromones
that Cruz said, "have different
smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on
how to spend Valentine's Day.
For additional information on
HIV and STI testing, students can

mentioned the services available at the SHCS center and provided a rendition of the "Twelve
Days of Christmas" sang as "The
Twelve STI's of Christmas;"
complete with stick figure animation of various diseases. Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are
often receptive to treatment with
antibiotics whereas viral STI'S
such as herpes are the fun ones
that stay with you. Nguyen also
brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,'
"Every first Wednesday of the
month, the health center provides
free HIV testing, and you can
get results within 20 minutes."
The testing is also anonymous
and operates on a walk-in basis.
Health Education was brought to
an end with STI jeopardy and a
free hand out offlavoredlube and
condoms.
The sex toys, lubes and creams
were administrated and displayed

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

�New chewable contraceptive offers flavor to fans of the pill
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The first oral contraceptive pill
was approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in
1960. Today, more than 11 million
American women are currently
taking an oral contraceptive, and
research shows that 80 percent of
all U.S. women born since 1945
have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for
women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable
version of Ovcon 35, was released
in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company
Warner Chilcott of Rockaway,
NJ. The new chewable version
is spearmint flavored to not only
reduce the risk of pregnancy,
but ensure fresh breath as well.
When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of
less than one percent per year.
However, studies show that 47
percent of women miss one or
more pills per month and missing
pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women
who have a problem swallowing
pills, no matter how small, now
have a choice. Warner Chillcot
is also marketing Femcon Fe as
appealing to the mint and gum
chewing population of females.
Someone who may forget to take
their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more
likely tp chew on one. The packet
comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round
white tablets followed by seven
green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be
swallowed or chewed. If chewed
then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce
glass of water to wash it down.
CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets
discussed the matter, "I think it
is improbable that a chewable
pill will make you less likely
to forget." She did not see the
advantage to the spearmint flavor
as an attraction saying, "It's still
the pill, you know?"
Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger
generation of women that are
looking for a desirable form of
oral contraceptive. Young women
who may lead a sporadic lifestyle
with no regular routine can take
Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers
led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva
to remark, "Are they trying to
encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good
point, but contraceptives are not
strictly for sexually active women.
They can regulate the menstrual
cycle and decrease bleeding.
Oral contraceptives may provide
benefits other than prevention of
unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian
cancer, benign breast disease,
pelvic inflammatory disease, and
iron-deficiency anemia. The 75
milligrams of iron contained in
the green "dummy" pills, taken
during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight
iron-deficiency anemia. The
risks are similar to that of other
oral contraceptives. Blood clots,
heart attack, and stroke are all
possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44.
Femcon Fe is not currently
available at the Student Health
and
Counseling
Services
(SHCS). SHCS was not aware of
the release of the Warner Chilcott
product and the Director of the
clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said,
"I don't know if we will carry it
or not." On the issue of marketing to teenage girls Dr. Nicholson
mentioned, "It is important that
parents influence their children;
not the media."
SHCS does offer a wide variety
of birth control such as condoms,
birth control pills, and Depo-Provera which is taken by injection.
For any questions regarding birth
control or any other health issue
contact SHCS at (760) 750-4915.

HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less"
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
For many women, cervical
cancer is important and valid
concern. Until recently though,
there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to
protect themselves from the
uncertainty of cervical cancer;
and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as
HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried
and transferred through sexual
contact by both men and women.

Karen Blattner, the Nurse Practitioner for the CSUSM Student

in her column linked from the

Gardasil is currently available
at SHCS for female students,
as the vaccine has not yet been

the vaccine is available to students
at SHCS, it is still an expensive

Medical Director for SHCS said:
"[the vaccine] does cost money,
the charge at the health center is
$120 per shot and it is a three shot

is costly and can be a problem. If
students have health insurance,
we encourage them to verify with
their insurance company whether
or not the vaccine is covered. If
it is covered, we recommend that
students use their insurance to
obtain the vaccine. For students
without health insurance, or who
have insurance that doesn't cover
the vaccine, Merck, the m anufacturer of Gardasil, has a pre-
scription-assistance program that
would allow students to get the
vaccine for free. Students must
meet the criteria established by
Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about
this process, please contact our
Health Records Technician, Shelley Ross, and she will be able to
assist you."
If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or
make an appointment at SHCS.
"We have lots of printed material
about Gardasil, as well information on our website. Students are
also given this information during
visits with our Health Educator or
with the Medical providers."

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

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

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

�Letter to the Editor:
sensa tional journalism
[To The Pride]
I respect that you have taken the duties
of an Editor upon yourself and no doubt
it comes with much stress, however I am
a little worried about the tone of voice in
many of the articles.
Using the headlines "Something must be
done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor
injuries," seems to be making a big deal out
of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or
FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should
be trying to stamp out, rather than have
its own editor-in-chief promote it himself.
The press is a powerful tool, often called
the 4th branch of government because of
the power it wields, the use of headlines
that are informative and not inflationary is
paramount to a respectable print.
With a genuine concern for where my
university's newspaper is going,

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

Brewing Company
have it on tap. You can also visit
the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista
Road suite 406 San Diego, CA.
They will gladly give you a tour
of their facilities. For more information, please visit: www.BallastPoint.com

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

BRIDGE T O
TERABITHIA
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
coerced students into reading
one of these literary versions of
the ABC After School Special,
there is a kid who got bored,
gave up, and rented the jnovie.
"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's
books that adults will always
fawn over for its inspiring story
and great literary significance.
However, it is also a book that
children can enjoy simply for its
own sake, and that is a very rare
combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed
moralizing and contrived plot
devices and instead has written
a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which
is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL
The main character of the
book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy

The preteen book-with-alesson genre has been popular for many years. For every
parent or teacher who has
Movie Review
who is "the only boy smashed
between four sisters" in a poor
family. At school he is the
strange kid who likes to draw.
At home, his mother favors his
sisters, and his father thinks he
is a sissy. One day a girl named
Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is
different from anything Jess's
conservative small town has
ever seen. Leslie doesn't have
a TV, and she doesn't wear
dresses. She races the boys at
recess time—and wins. Jess
and Leslie become best friends,
and together they navigate their
way through the hazards of
being different. They invent
their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and
queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal
with the loss of the only person
in his life that made him happy.
Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is
truly inspired. The setting and
characters are based on a rural
community near Washington,
D.C., and the reader gets the
feeling that he or she really
could go visit this small town.
Very few of the characters are
simply flat plot devices, there
to foil the hero and heroine or
move the plot along. Even the
most seemingly insignificant
characters actually have very
complex reasons for the way
they behave. Likewise,, not all
of the problems and challenges
that Paterson creates get neatly
wrapped up and resolved by the
enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and
loss that Jess experiences. She
was inspired to write this book
when her own son's best friend
was killed in a tragic accident,
and her story has an authenticity that could only come from
someone who experienced the
senseless loss of a child first
hand.
It's easy to see why "Bridge
to Terabithia" is such a favorite
of teachers. There are is a lot of
material that could be used for
instruction in the classroom. It
is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization,
setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though
they may be learning while they
read, kids will love this book
anyway. It had me completely
absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby.

Bridge to Terabithia
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
"Bridge to Terabithia" is
a favorite of many children
and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book
into a movie. However, it is
surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to
turn what is arguably one of
the greatest children's books
of all time into anything more
than a mediocre vehicle for
CGI e ffects. The filmmakers
chose to leave out many of the
most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust
to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot
twists.
While these additions are certainly very pretty
and exciting, they are nothing
more than that—all f luff and
no substance or significance.

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

future welfare of her children rings
true. The audience can see her character develop from a background
character to one that demands the
attention and recognition of Thornton's Charles Farmer. She is the
heart and the anchor of the family, a
position that in life oftentimes lacks
the appreciation it deserves.
Thornton's performance seems
effortless as the brilliant, hardworking aerospace engineer whose
efforts are mocked and reduced to
insane inventions by his detractors.

her dream," Madsen explained.
"She's been married for 27 years,
and [her husband and her] rocket
was a diner. Her husband was a
chef, and he always wanted to
own his own restaurant . .. They
all worked in the restaurant, and
he made his dream come true. It
became their collective dream.
They were the Farmers, and
that's where I got my inspiration
and that's why the story made
sense to me."
Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on
to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed.
"I wanted to be a professional
actress, and I was a fireman's
daughter. So, that was about as
crazy as building a rocket, but I
believed in myself and so did my
parents."
Of making her own dream
come true, Madsen articulated,
"You get discouraged a lot, but if
you have faith and if you continue
to believe in yourself, it doesn't
matter how long it takes - you'll
get there. It's about longevity. It's
about perseverance."
After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off.
"[The film 'Sideways'] changed
everything," she said. "I think the
most important thing it did for me,
not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I
work with now, but it gave me a lot
of confidence. That was the most
important thing. Going through
an awards season with a movie
like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience."
Madsen also attributed some of
her new-found confidence to her
age. "[45] is the best age. There
is more confidence that comes
in your 40s of course. It's such a
great age for women. 'Desperate
Housewives' are having it too.
Now it's cool. Now it's chic to
be a woman in your 40s, because
you're now considered like you
know things. (Coy smile.) So,
we're sexy now."

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

Artist Erick Otto visits CSUSM
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, Feb. 9 the unveiling of Erik Otto's paintings and
installation, "Rooted Dreams,"
took place inside of Kellogg
Library.
Members of the community,
- Library staff and students joined
Otto as he walked through his
installation, describing his art
work and his motivation.
In Otto's installation, bird
houses painted red and blue
hang from branches above leaves
strewn on the library floor. A
colorful banner of cloth extends
from the installation on the third
floor to reach the fourth floor of
the library.
According to Otto, the bird
houses in his art work symbolize
the human form of a home. "A
place you go where you feel safe- to escape the busyness of the
world and to cultivate dreams,"
Otto said.
With many recurring images
in his work, one piece that stands
out from the rest is a character
Otto calls, "Rock guy." The rock
character reappears in Otto's
paintings along with the bird

Plan B. or the Morning
After Pill, is now available to
students over the counter at
the Student Health and Counseling Services, amongst various other services. In nine
states, including California,
the FDA has changed restrictions to allow individuals that
are 18 and older to obtain
the product over the counter,
while individuals under 17
can obtain the product with a
prescription.
CSUSM student, Laura
Contreras shares her perspective. "I think the right to
choose is a good idea, but it
should not be available over
the counter. I'm worried that
younger women, who might
not be informed, may use the
morning after pill as a form of
contraception without understanding their other options."
At the CSUSM Health
Center, the cost for the pill is
$25.00. Male or female students can purchase the product, with or without counseling, up to two times per
month. After the second time
in a month, an appointment
is required. The main reason
for requiring an appointment
is because the product is not
intended for frequent use, nor
does it substitute birth control. Users should know that
the product is advertised as
up to 89% effective for reducing pregnancy risk, and does
not protect from STD's. Nursing Major Naomi Strong said,
"I personally believe that the
plan B pill is a good backup
method to birth control. However, I don't think that the
pill should be used as a routine. Women should take the
necessary precautions and
be responsible when having
intercourse but people do
make mistakes which also

chance to apply and study for an
academic year in Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa.
The application date for Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa is May 1. A decision on
whether the student is qualified to go will be made in late
August. A complete application
must contain an IP Application,
two faculty recommendations
and official university transcripts
from all colleges and universities
attended. According to the CSU
International Programs website,
"Admission of a student is based
on academic, linguistic, and personal qualifications, and on the
appropriateness of the students'
proposed plan of study to their
degree objective." There is no
application fee, and those looking
to apply are best advised to meet
with an IP Campus Coordinator.
An academic year of studying
abroad is beneficial to students
because not only does it take
time to culturally assimilate to
your new surroundings, but the
extensive amount of time also
crosses the line of being a visitor
into becoming a true resident in
the community in which you are
studying. Stockey understands
the importance of spending an
academic year abroad and said,
"Year long programs provide an
even greater opportunity for a
richer cultural experience."
IP enrollment fees are kept at
an affordable rate because student costs are partially supported
by the State of California. The
cost of studying abroad is dependent on what country you wish to
study and their economic situation. Students pay for their own
housing, transportation, meals
and any extra costs. Scholarships
and financial aid are available.
However, what the CSU International Programs website considers to be most important is the
expérience you attain by studying
abroad and considers studying
abroad "A long-term investment
in yourself and in your future."
Students do receive credit
for all coursework that is completed while abroad. All completed coursework is considered
CSU resident credit. Academic
Reports are prepared by the
Office of International Programs,
who converts host university
information into CSU campus
terms. Students must meet with
a counselor prior to their departure in order to understand how
the work the student completed
abroad applies within their scope
of requirements.
Should students have any further inquiries on studying abroad
they can visit the CSUSM website of global affairs at http://

International Programs website

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

and the remaining steps toward completion of the signalization of the intersection at Palm Canyon and Craven, as well
as traffic control at the crosswalk from Lot

requested this design shortly after fall
semester's accident.
• The President's Executive Council
allocated an initial $75,000 to
Facilities Development and
Management to begin work on this
projeqt.
• The cost estimates for the project,
which includes design, installation,
inspection, and
• contingency, is $300,000. The
University will need to fund the
additional $225,000.
• The University is required to follow
a bidding process which takes
approximately two
• months. The University can now
begin advertising for bidders and
anticipates that it will
• take at least 10 weeks to procure the
equipment.
• Last fall, I indicated that we anticipated
completion in spring 2007. The process
took a little longer than projected and
we now expect to complete the project
during summer 2007.

Saturday, Feb. 10. Coach

roughly 200. Mr. Taco, the

fed the hungry crowd as the
Cougars stepped foot on
their home turf for the first
time in the program's history. Coach Milo said of the
home fans, "This is fun. It's

at Mission Hills is in great
condition and the parking is

Coach Milo put her ace

header against Vanguard
University, a Christian
School in Costa Mesa, CA.
It was the right decision,
and the sophomore Lerno
was toughest when Vanguard had runners on base.
After a single and balk in
the first allowed a runner to
get to third, Lerno induced
a groundball to third base
and Amanda Sanchez tossed
over to first for the third
out. Vanguard pushed home
a run in the second on a
weak grounder that somehow found a way through
the right side. Lerno got the
next hitter to ground back
to Sanchez at third and left
the bases loaded. In the third
the Cougars dodged a bullet
after a leadoff triple by Vanguard's Sarah Howe. Lerno
got the next two on strikeouts before getting a lazy
fly ball to left field where
Leilani Madrigal snared
it for the final out of the
inning. Lerno definitely had
her good stuff on this day
stating, "I had lots of movement." The game was a real
pitcher's dual as the Cougars
had trouble with the high
heat of Vanguard pitcher
Jennifer Olvera, who struck
out 14 on the day. It wasn't
until the fifth inning that the
Cougars put together a rally
for the home fans. Erica
Coelho walked with one out.
After she hustled to beat the
throw to second on a bunt by
Lindsey Preovolos, Madigal came up with two outs
and two on. She hit a looper
towards the Bermuda Tri-
angle, the area behind shortstop and between the center
and left fielders. Vanguard's
shortstop had to have heard
the roar of the crowd as the
ball tipped just off the edge
of her glove. When the dust
settled, Coelho scored the
tying run and Madigal stood
on second with a game tying
RBI double.
The game remained tied
1-1 as both teams missed
opportunities with runners
on base. After Lerno got a
clutch two out strikeout on a
close pitch with runners on
first and second, Vanguard
Coach Beth Renkoski was
kicking up dirt near the visiting dugout. The umpire was
inconsistent but Lento said,
"He got better as the game
went on." The teams played
into extra innings where
each side gets to start their
half inning with a runner on
second base. Vanguard was
able to get a run in the eighth
despite the brilliant play by
Lerno and her catcher Preovolos on a squeeze attempt.
The Cougars failed to get
a run in the bottom of the
eighth and lost the game 21.
It was a hard fought game
and led Coach Milo to say
the team is "getting used to
each other." She was also
happy with the performance
of Lerno in the loss saying,
"she just got stronger and
stronger out there."
As for the extra inning
"International Rule" where
the inning starts with a
runner on second base,
Coach Milo said, "to me it
doesn't show the better team,
but we both do get it. Sometimes it falls your way and
sometimes it doesn't." Freshman Erica Coelho seemed to
like it saying you're guaranteed "no ties." It is reminiscent of college football when
each team gets the ball at the
25 yard line in overtime.

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

February marks the annual
celebration of "Black History

12, 1926 as the first celebration
created by Dr. Carter Godwin
Woodson, a Harvard Scholar,
has now become the nationally observed "Black History

in the second week of February,
Dr. Woodson chose to celebrate
African American history in
February as a tribute to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both of whom Woodson felt
had a significant impact on African American history, and both
of whom celebrated birthdays in
the month of February. Honoring

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

As a child, Pennypacker's
favorite books were "Treasure

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

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

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

The scrumptious secret of the
bean of the cacao tree is arguably the greatest discovery in
world history. Those who may
scoff at this assertion will,
wild-eyed, change their opinion
when their mouths are stuffed
with the ambrosial marvel that
is chocolate.
As the story goes, the Aztecs
discovered the aphrodisiac
potential of chocolate. Hundreds of years later, the association between chocolate and love
lives on. The link is not only
found in history and lore but
in the chemistry of the human
brain. The high we experience
when happy or in love involves
the discharge of chemicals
phenylethylamine and serotonin by the brain into the nervous system. Chocolate contains these same mood enhancing agents.
It is, then, no surprise why
ardent suitors and the happily
married alike buy up armfuls of
See's and Godiva chocolates for
Valentine's Day. We delight in
experimenting on our loved ones
MfcirtLiisL'
and ourselves, entertaining ourselves with a grown-up version
of playing doctor.
If the mad chemist in you is
dying to get out this Valentine's
Day, why not introduce him
or her to your inner bartender.
Meet the Chocolate Martini - a
cocktail glass full of the most
indulgent love potion imaginable. Smooth and creamy, this
libidinous libation is best when
enjoyed with your sweetie.
To make a pair of delicous
Choco 'tinis you need:
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
(I used Godiva.)
v 1 1/2 shots creme de
cacao
1/2 shot vodka (I recommend Absolut Vanilia.)
2 1/2 shots half-and-half
Chocolate syrup to garnish
Chocolate shavings to garnish
Swirl chocolate syrup in two
chilled cocktail glasses.
Mix all ingredients
except for syrup and
shavings in a shaker
with ice, shake, and
strain into glasses.
Garnish with chocolate shavings. Enjoy!

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
E d i t o r In Chief a d d r e s s e s C S U S M A d m i n i s t r a t i o n
Dear CSUSM Administration,
The safety of the CSUSM community is at risk. Something must be
done, immediately, to ensure the preservation of everyone's safety while on
campus.
For the second time in as many
semesters a pedestrian has been hit
by a vehicle on campus. With the
addition of Parking Lot F traffic has
increased dramatically; so too have
the chances fa accidents on campus.
Something must be done now, before
we have afetalaccident, to ensure that
no pedestrian cii campus is at risk.
Campus Police cannot be held
solely responsible for the protection
of pedestrians on campus, nor can
motorists. Thefact of the matter is,
we have dangerous intersections and
a severe lade of planning to protect
pedestrians.
While it is reported (coincidentally in this same issue of The Pride)
that Planning, Design and Construction have plans to address traffic on
campus, nothingwill be implemented
for several years. Even then, protection against pedestrian accidents will
be minimal.
The feet of the matter is, without
the death of a pedestrian, there is no
sufficient pressure driving this issue.

Girl hit by car suffers minor injuries
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Feb. 1 at 3:36
p.m., a 13-year-old girl riding her
bike on campus was struck by a
car. The driver was attempting
to make a left on Palm Canyon
drive toward Craven drive.
When the driver was waved
down by another driver to turn,

the driver let their foot off the
brake and collided with the girl
on the bike who was halfway
through the crosswalk. A t once,
students on foot ran to assist the
girl who ultimately sustained
minor bruising and swelling.
University Police caught the
scene on video from a camera
pod. Perched on top of Craven
Hall, Markstein Hall and Kel-
logg Library, these camera pods
can zoom in and out, and can
reach as far as to the Ralph's
shopping center across thè street
from campus.. Sergeant Jesse
Flores of University Police was
also present at the scene and
made the report. Flores said,
"We would like the community
to be cognizant of people walking and driving and to the Com-
munity Service Officers who
direct the traffic."
On Mondays through Thursdays, University CSOs work the
four-way stop every 15 minutes.
On Friday's, they work the intersection every 45 minutes and
they are constantly patrolling
traffic.
With the addition of parking lot

of Campus View drive and Palm
Canyon drive is seeing record
traffic levels. Last fall, Education Librarian Toni Olivas was
struck by a van as she attempted
to walk through a crosswalk.
Ironically, a committee holding a discussion on the necessity
of the future stoplight was in session at the time of the accident.

As early as December, the

and North County residents. It
is called the Sprinter and it is a

Driving while using a handheld cell phone will become punishable by fines on July 1, 2008,
according to the bill signed into
law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first offense costs
drivers $20, and the following
offenses will cost $50.
Sociology major Nicole Yescas
shares the same frustration that
most drivers have felt at one time
or another, "I have to say 90 percent of the time that I observe
problems on the road it is due
to someone talking on their cell
phone. From people sitting at
green lights, to running stop
signs, to only going 40mph in
the fast lane or pulling out of
CSUSM parking lot F, the cell
phone unfortunately seems to
inhibit people's ability to drive
attentively."

Making the transition from Campus to University
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Many students come to school
everyday, thinking of CSUSM
as a campus, but Russell Decker,
director of planning, design and
construction, is looking to turn
CSUSM into more than just a
place, but a university. CSUSM
is in the midst of Phase II of construction, planning and design,
which will take place over the
next ten years. Most students
have seen at least one completion of a project from beginning to end. Stairs that once led
nowhere lead to Markstein Hall,
and most recently the culmination of Cougar Central made a
pivotal change our campus. But

"And a lot of cars," Ramirez

ans don't let the vehicles go, and

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

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

�Website of the Week:
www.finaid.org
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
Mark Kantrowitz established FinAid.
org in 1994 as a public service site,
and since then FinAid.org has been
regarded as one of the best sites for students to receive financial aid information from. FinAid is mutually beneficial
to high school and college students and
their parents. Furthermore, the website
has also received several honors by the
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators among others.
FinAid gives students and parents
their own step-by-step guide for financing college. First, the website gives
students a College Cost Projector that
calculates the estimated cost of tuition.
Then it gives students an opportunity
to find out how much the financial aid
institution expects the student to receive
from parents. It also allows students to
calculate how much financial aid will
be needed with the help of the Financial
Aid Estimation Calculator.
Once a student determines the total
amount of financial needed aside from
parental contribution, FinAid encourages students to look at several types of
loans. The website lists several options
on how to receive a student loan, which
is a low interest loan only available for
students. Another type of loan available is a private loan. It is often based
on one's credit score, as a private lender
gives them and is separate from the government.
Another option suggested is scholarships, which do not have to be repaid,
as they are rewarded for a person's
academic excellence. With hundreds
of thousands of scholarships available
each year, FinAid provides information
that will help students find the particular scholarshipfieldhe or she is searching for, such as academics, athletics or
artistic talents.
FinAid aims to find a scholarship
that fits each individual student. It also
informs students of certain scholarships
that one should not go after. FinAid also
gives information on financial aid for
specific types of groups such as: religion, race, heritage, orientation, and so
forth. For example, there is also a unique
scholarship list such as Scholarships for
Left-Handed Students and Little People
of America Scholarship for those 4'10"
and under. Besides these unique scholarships, FinAid also provides a list of
scholarships for the average students
who maintain a 2.0 GPA and are in need
offinancialaid.
FinAid also encourages students to
complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid, which could give a student
the opportunity to receive both federal
and state aid for school, which are separate from each other.
The federal government gives federal
aid. A student can qualify for federal aid
through the FAFSA, and the student's
financial need is allocated according to
the information filled out on FAFSA.
Additionally, the FAFSA is forwarded
to the state departments, which then can
distribute state aid to those who qualify. In addition, other scholarships and
loans are only available to students who
havefileda FAFSA.
If visitors have trouble understanding
some of the terminology on the website,
FinAid has a glossary to help with those
words, such as fellowships, which is aid
given to graduate students to help pay
for their education. Another important
term for those who have loans would be
maturity date, which is the end date of a
loan that must be repaid in full.
If the glossary doesn't help answer
questions, FinAid has over 100 financial
aid administrators in the United States
that are available to answer questions.
Administrators can answer questions
that aren't addressed on the website,
and they can also help clarify things
that aren't making sense.
One of the things the website does
very well is help prepare students on
applying for scholarships. It guides
students into finding a scholarship that
fits his or her needs and then helps get
the student organized for a particular
scholarship by informing the student
of upcoming deadlines and eligibility
criteria. FinAid also offers students a
guide to writing essays, as they may be
required for certain scholarships.

Dr. Jill Watts receives award
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer

Dr. Jill Watts-is the recipient of the 2007
President's Award for Scholarship and Creative Activity; the ceremony took place on
Jan. 18. Dr. Watts, a History professor and
the coordinator for the Film Studies minor
at CSUSM, is currently celebrating the rerelease of her latest book, "Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood,"
originally published in October 2005, to
be out in paperback on Tuesday, Feb. 6. In
addition to these accomplishments, Watts
is also the coordinator for the Department
of History's first master's degree program,
which will be starting up in the fall of
2007.
Watts, born and raised in San Diego,
holds a bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego, and obtained
her master's and doctoral degrees from the
University of California, Los Angeles. She
joined the faculty at CSUSM in January of
1992. Watts has also published two other
books in addition to her latest since her stay
at CSUSM.
When asked about how she likes CSUSM,
Watts commented that it is a great university;
"I can't think of a better place to be," Watts
said in an interview over the telephone.
"Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White
Hollywood," is coming out in paperback in
the beginning of February, which Watts said
pleases her, "since February is Black history month, and also the month that people
are thinking about the Academy Awards,"
Watts said. McDaniel was thefirstAfricanAmerican to win an Academy Award in
1939 for her role as Mammy in "Gone with
the Wind." The curiosity of her students was what
most motivated her to pursue not only her
researcH on McDaniel, but all of her books
including past books on Mae West and
Father Divine, and future books which she
is currently researching—one on film censorship up to World War I, and another on
the strong cinematic women of the 1930s,
said Watts
The President's Award is a prestigious
award in which a professor is nominated
by faculty and then chosen by the president
of CSUSM, Karen Haynes. "It is an honor
to receive it," Watts said, "especially considering all of the excellent faculty here."
Watts also said that she loves working with
so many excellent people including the student body, who are "very inspiring.*'
The Film Studies minor, which Watts
coordinates, is an interdisciplinary program that is shared between departments.
Watts considers it rewarding to work in a
program that brings together students from
so many disciplines. Thus far students at
CSUSM have been and continue to be very
interested in the Film Studies minor, however there are currently no plans to expand
the program.
The new History Master's program,
another of which Watts coordinates, is generating interest nationwide as it is one of the
first programs to incorporate mass media
with history. The idea behind the degree
is that one can gain experience with using
new technological advances that are currently revolutionizing the field of history,
while obtaining a traditional Master's education in history. The department is accepting applications for the Fall 2007 semester.
Watts is pleased that many people have
already applied to the program, which is
pioneering the way history is taught, studied and preserved. "Incorporating technology with history makes it a more marketable degree to obtain," Watts says.
Watts celebrates her 15th year at CSUSM
this semester.

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

life and Debt' -Global call ta actian
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't know about any one
else, but it seems like everything, „ every global activist
organization, every global call
to action, and every celebrity,
has their eyes set on Africa
right now. Whether it's Darfur,
Uganda, the exploitation of
child soldiers, or the horrendous AIDS epidemic that continues to decimate the whole
of the African continent, there
doesn't seem to be too much
talk or any media eyes on anything besides Africa and the
war in Iraq, which doesn't get
enough coverage at that.
Keeping all of that in mind,
however, there is a place,
a small place that is being
destroyed and uprooted by the
American dollar, which no one
seems to know about. That
place is Jamaica. Jamaica? You
might be asking yourself. Yes.
Jamaica. Many of us think of
Jamaica as home to Bob Marley,
the origin of Reggae music, and
as a tropical dream vacation
destination, and that's about it.
There is much more to Jamaica,
however, than meets the eye,
or should I say, than meets the
mainstream media.
Here is where "Life and Debt,"
a film by Stephanie Black comes
into play. Utilizing the text from
Jamaica Kincaid's "A Small
Place," a story about economic
strife, life and tourism in Antigua (another Caribbean island
and Kincaid's place of origin) as
an overlay and contextual frame
for her purpose, Black opens the about the bang for their buck and naive on this matter; or perhaps

Jock Talk With Josh:
Barry Bonds

Bonds is
yet to resign with
the San Francisco Giants for
the upcoming season. Major
League Baseball is partly to
blame since they denied an
agreement between the two
parties. The reason for concern is because the contract
had a stipulation that said the
Giants could terminate the
contract if Bonds was indicted
on steroids charges.
What many people don't
know is that there were other
stipulations in that contract
that could have terminated
the deal at any point in the
season.
Clause IB stated: If the
defendant.. .1
mean.. .Mr.
Bonds shows any side effects
from steroids, the contract
shall be terminated. Things
that fall under this category
include the changing of skin
color from black to green,
exploding of purple pants, and
changing the name on the back
of his jersey to "The Incredible Hulk."
Clause 10J stated: If syringes
are found in possession of Mr.
Bonds then they better be for
the use of heroine and not for
the use of horse steroids.
Clause 16E stated: If Mr.
Bonds' is found grazing in the
outfield looking f or horse feed
then the contract shall be terminated.
Clause 24L stated: If Mr.
Bonds violently punches a
teammate in the face then it
better be because the teammate sat in Mr. Bonds' personal La-Z-Boy in the clubhouse. If the punch because
of "roid rage" then the contract
shall be terminated.
Clause 9W stated: In order
to prevent injury, Mr. Bonds is
not allowed to do certain things
for himself. The following services will be provided for him.
Mr. Bonds will be provided a
designated runner after base
hits in order to prevent knee
problems. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated driver
after home games so that he
doesn't have to think about
driving. Mr. Bonds will be
provided a designated "pharmacist" so that he can claim
ignorance if something tainted
should happen to appear in his
urine.
Clause 51Z stated: Mr. Bonds
will be subject to a weigh-in
every week. The weigh-in pertains just to his head. If the
weight of his head is in the
neighborhood of 50-pounds it
will be assumed that he is on
steroids and the contract shall
be terminated.
Clause 17C stated: If Mr.
Bonds hits less than 22
homeruns in the 2007 season
his "pharmacist" will be
relieved of his duties and Mr.
Bonds will have to pay back
half of his 2007 salary.
Clause 22G stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to make 10 public
appearances, which - don't
include ones in front of a
judge.
Clause 34K stated: During
the season, Mr. Bonds is
required to perform three
public service announcements
in the fight against drug abuse.
Among the drugs Bonds feels
most strongly against are
Nyquil and Tylenol. The contract shall be terminated if he
fails to complete the P.S.A.'s.
THE
GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE: If Mr. Bonds breaks
Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record in 2007 all the prior
clauses will be null and void.
This contract was drawn up
by the Law o ffices of "Jock
Talk with Josh." Mr. Sandoval is available for hire at

the IMF, there are giant restrictions that are in place over Jamaica's economy, imports, exports,
and production (including labor).
It just doesn't seem right.
Politics aside, the f ilm d efinitely struck a chord within
me, and I strongly urge my
peers who haven't seen it, to
take an interest in it and speak
out on behalf of Jamaica. Overall, the f ilm r eaffirmed some
things I already knew—how
indifferent people can be as
well as insensitive our society
is to the needs of other countries, how fortunate we are
to live in America regardless
of our political leaders, how
little about the world I really
do know and understand, and
how there is so much more out
there than we ever see or hear
about because of the fact that
we do live in America. It also
taught me that nothing is as
it seems, and that as students
of this university, and students of any university for that
matter, have the opportunity
to do something because of the
academic and open environment we have at our disposal.
The words of one student can
incite the actions of thousands
of students. Therefore I dare
all of you to speak out. Give
Jamaica a voice; end their life
in debt.

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

Midori, the premier bright green melon
liqueur, was first launched in the
United States in 1978 at Studio
54. Created by Suntory, Midori
was the glue to the hit drink
called "The Universe," which
is comprised of Midori, vodka,
pineapple juice, lime juice
and pistachio flavored liqueur.
Within five years of its release,
Midori instantly became a favorite of the masses, being sold in over
20 countries, with sales steadily
increasing at 200,000 cases sold
per year.
So, the next time you're at the bar,
or getting your groove on at a club
and want to enjoy a palette-tantalizing experience, a Midori Sour is for
you.

"Catch and Release" is perfect in conception, if a little
