Disastrous Turnout for CSUSM's Tenth Anniversary Open House

marked a historic event for
CSUSM—the first annual Cougar
Chase. Because of our new track,
the university could host an event
such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk
or run.
Mazario Romaro, a San
Marcos resident, won the 5K
race. His running time was
14:55. When asked about the
race he said, "It was a fun course
and I loved the race." He said that
he could have run a longer race in
San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained
for the Cougar Chase by running
fifty tofifty-fivemiles per week.

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
�Dear Editors:
Thank you for printing Ramon
Nava s letter. It is very important
to have this discussion about the
Tukwut. Our campus needs to
seriously question whether or not
it is performing an act of cultural
insensitivity.
?
If there is no guilt on the part
of our university, fine. Then only
an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in
the dark about the mascot's previous name.
However, if our university is
found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who
wanted the change in mascot,
why they wanted it, and how
they went about their agenda for
change. Most importantly, we
need to know why the wonderful,
culturally relevant story behind
the Tukwut was kept a secret
from the students both before
and during the election.
Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed
simply was not aware of the
Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't
they then be innocent? No, just
guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi.
y
If someone puts an issue on
the ballot without carefully
investigating its meaning and
history, then s/he is sloppy or
crafty. Either way, the person is
assuming that the students aren't
critical enough to eventually
realize what has been done.
Either way, they are assuming
that students will not hold them
accountable. Either way, they
are assuming that students will
not demand an explanation.
Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and
more like our state elections!
Remember Prop. 209?
There have been stories that
the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to
pronounce. I don't buy that. I
don't think pronouncing Tukwut
is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga

able to quickly get all the
resources we need from our huge
library's collection. No, I don't
think that Tukwut is too difficult
for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes
that it is too difficult for us is
greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard
floating around is that we had to
change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a
growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to
have Tukwut as our mascot. We
must change it to something
more marketable. That way we

Dear Editors:
From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community?
Dear Editors:
This university has become
known for its use of groups, such
as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the
minds and views of its students.
Additionally, the university also
promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender,
or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs
on campus. With the passing of
the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a
I am delighted to see that you
are speaking out about the torture
that occurs at CSUSM. I have
been a student enough years to
truly experience the meaning
behind CSUS&M. I have found it
very frustrating dealing with the
poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and
parking, that plague students
every day.
It has come to the point that I
will ask different people, who
work for CSUS&M, the same
question to attempt to get to the
truth. Usually the third time
around proves to be somewhat
correct. It is also a shame that the
administration at Cal State San
Marcos does not fully appreciate
and utilize the talented staff that
work for them. There are some of
the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could
easily improve things, and yet
they are not used.
I think it is time that the
administration realizes that what
students encounter on a daily
basis is ****. Without a good
interface with the student, there
might as well be no University at
all.
Keep up the good work. Keep
telling the truth.
Matt Thomas
Dear Editors:
The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that
there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn
or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to
achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about
the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the
professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each
other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through
with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is
too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand
new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in
the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms."

Dear Editors,
My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of
Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am
writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran
in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am
unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the
school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been
funny to some people, but is it really the message you want
to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM?
Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future
you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for
your school and not print such filth.
Respectfully Yours,

Dear Psyche Fairy,
How does one best express
intimacy with someone else?
Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is
only the beginning of the depths
of what I know to be inside me
for the object of my thoughts.
The feelings, longings,
desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the
person I hold dear would make
them, for lack of a better term,
happier about themselves.
To realize, for better or worse,
someone cared and wished only
the best, yet these declarations
may be overwhelming by the
sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I
believe we all withhold our true
selvesfromone another on many
levels in many ways, but would
hope somewhere, somehow to
make the connection - and make
it in a positive, meaningful, and
profound way. Give me a way, a
method, the words, for I am at a
loss and my beloved deserves
true kinship. Sign me,
"Sincerely Sincere"
Dear Sincerely Poetic,
I was greatly entranced by
your message, as I feel akin to
this experience of longing. I
doubt anyone can satisfactorily
answer your question, so I will be
bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there
qEfte ffirtbe
Arts & Entertainment
is one sole best way to express
intimacy. Not only do people
find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times,
intimacy can be appreciated in
different ways. This is what I like
to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans.
Finding that experience whereby
both (or more) can be absorbed in
the feeling of intimacy is quite
special and not easy to discover.
For instance, your loved one may
not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am
not talking about mere physical
affection and sex here. Even
words may fall on deaf ears
sometimes. Hie ultimate act of
intimacy is to understand the
other in their place at that
moment. Just knowing that the
other is not open to that intimacy
at that time is an act of intimacy
on your part.
Words are contrived, but what
isn't? Words are symbolic and
since our minds are representational, words can be a great
means to achieving an end. Even
when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the
people to see it as such. We are
frequently mistaken to assume
that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star,
sex is a job; for a writer, words
can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a
chef, cooking is a profession. It is
the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate.
Here again, you must think of the
other: does the person resemble
the adorer of Cyrano or Annie
Sprinkle. Some people are more
affected by words than others
and you need to know this to
know if words will be effective.
Actions can also be powerfully
intimate. I have had friends do
little things/favors for me (from
their own volition) which I found
incredibly intimate, especially
when the favor arrives at just the
right moment. These actions can
be deeply intimate. Find out
these things and perhaps you can
express your intimacy in that
way. If the other is open and
experimental enough, you may
approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the
person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if
you can both devise a way to put
each other "in the mood." This
may likewise be contrived, but it
might just work!
You might be thinking that
some of these "methods" seem
too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that
will be mostly true. You see, I
understand your desire to commune with someone in such a
way that your experiences meld
into one. As if you were the
same, sharing perspectives,
thoughts, and emotions. Oh how
I wish this could be true! Sadly,
our ability to imagine beyond our
capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this
is the connection that you wish
for, I can say it will exist mostly
in your imagination. Our
thoughts are usually fragmented

Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone
Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work
saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl
Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy
endings, Mumford works.
The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of
us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients
troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him
the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to
know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time
lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous
modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves
with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the
viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling
secrets is what being human is all about.
Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not
one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a
stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo.
More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by
Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace
with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include
Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother.
The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a
shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other
problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive
story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way
to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless,
I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night.

Lettau Dazzles in Noontime Concert
June Hodges
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Jazz/Brazilian singer Kevyn Lettau wowed both followers
and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions
during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday,
September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague,
renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob
Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums.
Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at
the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing
voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized
stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to
the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie
Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She
assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal
approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own.
After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight
years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has
won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United
States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in
Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record
is different, because I am always growing, expanding and
changing."
Kudos to CSUSM Arts and Activities, directed by Bonnie

...Such is the advice of Mary
Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional
Computing Labs Coordinator.
Computing is an essential of
scholarship at this university,
though when a paper is due in 15
minutes, the computer cannot
read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy
to feel like life itself hangs in the
balance. Being acquainted with
the computing labs may offset
this stress and save your grades.
According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and
when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing
safety.
Often students visit the main
computer lab in ACD 202, see
that all of these computers are
taken, and walk away. They do
not realizing that the nearly 100
computers in ACD 202 and ACD
204 represent less than a 1/4 of the

Have you ever had someone in
your life that you looked up to?
Someone who encouraged you
when you were feeling not your
best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but
heads you down the right road to
finding them? Someone who is
present when you need them, if
only to sit and chat, or do nothing
at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my
life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia
Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced
MET-TOY-YAY, its French).
As part of the Faculty
Mentoring Program here at
CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a
mentor to many students since
coming on board in 1994. She
was initially recruited by two of

her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural
mentoring relationship that had
begun between them, they
requested that she become part of
the formal program. Dr. Metoyer
agreed and has been doing it ever
since. Each semester, students
who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor.
Throughout the school year the
relationship may take on many
different characteristics. Some
proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement,
some for counseling and support,
and still others develop friendships that continue well after
graduating, from CSUSM.
Currently there are 67 mentors

events, lectures, and social gatherings for the mentors and proteges to attend.
In Greek mythology, Mentor
was Odysseus' trusted friend and
counselor, and his son
Telemachus' teacher, advisor,
and surrogate father. He provided
the boy with guidance, support
and love. The mentoring program
here at CSUSM believes that
mentors are an important factor in
the student's success. Designed to
increase the retention of students,
who may be at risk of dropping

When you hear the words
"Greek Life," what images come
to mind? Do you picture scenes
from "Animal House," like John
Belushi in a toga, chugging a
beer? Or are you completely
oblivious to fraternities and
couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you
should be a little curious because
members of these clubs may be
your close friends, students in
your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that
Troy Aikman and President
William McKinley were Sigma
Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that
Elvis and Ronald Reagan were
Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers?
Here on campus the presence of
Greek organizations, academic
and social, are steadily growing
and attracting many students.
American students were the
creators of the first Greek-Letter
Fraternities. It all began when the
Declaration of Independence was
introduced to America in 1776.
Revolutionary ideas began to
spread like wildfire across
America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because
of British rule, such discussions
were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss
revolutionary ideas in secrecy.
Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes.
Centuries have passed, and now
the numbers of fraternities have
spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S.
and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi
National Manual).
Of the 60 colleges in the U.S.
and Canada, CSUSM is one of the
campuses that have academic and
social Greek organizations. The
academic honor societies deal
with students who have excelled
in areas that deal with their
majors. For example, PSI CHI,

Another benefit that men find
when they join a fraternity is networking. "That's one of the things
that impresses people about joining a fraternity. Career connections," says Dean Manship, president of SAE. Dean has obtained
two jobs through networking in
the year-and-a-half that h^ has
been in SAE. Companies like
Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have
presidents and CEOs* who were
fraternity brothers. As a result,
many of the present members can
benefit by acquiring well paying
jobs when they join fraternities.

.
It i$ no secret that there are
stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example,
fraternity members may be
referred to as "party animals,"
"keggers," or have other labels.
However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha
Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa
Epsilon (TKE) are two of the
social fraternities on campus that
promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the
primary reasons men join SAE
and TKE on campus are for the
friendships. Many people enter
CSUSM not knowing anyone. So
SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit
incoming freshmen and other
men to join their fraternities. For
example, Charles Matanane, a
sophomore, has been a member of
SAE for two years and says,
"When I came here, I didn't know
much of anybody, now I've got 50
people that I know." Juan
"Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE
for two years and recalls when the
TKEs introduced themselves to
him as a freshman: "TKEs
seemed excited about me, really
friendly, really outgoing, but they
also stressed a lot of brotherhood.
I saw what they did, I saw how
close they were to each other, and
I really liked that whole family
thing."

Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this
film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned
out to be everything you would be
looking for in a yuppie movie and
nothing that truly captures, for
me, the emotions of a time period.
Based on a true story, Lucie
Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap
opera history lesson of World War
II France. Fans of French film
might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed
such films as Germinal, Jean de
Florette, and Manon des Sources
(Manon of the Springs). With
Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil
('Raymond'), who had played
Ugolin in Jean de Florette and
Manon des Sources. But how can
a film based on one woman's
autobiographical account go so
wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the
stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is
based on a true story but for the
purpose of dramatic effect, da, da,
da, certain liberties have been
taken, or something like that.
I call it a yuppie film because
it's a little bit more than a Date
Movie in that it contains noble
elements that both guys and
chicks would totally appreciate.
The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a
spectacular explosion and ends
with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the
ending for you, but it's as if Berri
hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go
around, to be sure, that would
entice any movie fan out th^re.
But jumping out of your seat and
racing to, the door for sprpe fresh

wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may
find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing.

which you have to admit, is at
least one good sign.

speak of the internal state of
affairs. To commune so deeply,
you'd have to bring all of this in
not one, but TWO brains, into harmony. This discussion then
becomes entirely philosophical
and I won't go there now.
So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in
synchrony" with the other, but that
is about as amazing as it gets. We
are limited, always. (Some people
go into trances/rituals or use drugs
to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise
your limitations because there is
nothing you can really do about it.
You need to try to work with those
limits and find out how you can
best stimulate that synchrony of
thought and emotion between you
and your loved one. There isn't a
specific formula; it depends on the
person AND the time whether
intimacy will be found in actions,
conversations, or kisses. Finding
this will reside in understanding
the person. This lucky person for
whom you care so deeply must be
understood as (s)he is in that
moment. This will take great
awareness, compassion, and
openness. My sincerest hopes go

president of SAE, Dean also
says, "We need to look good on
campus, because right off the bat
a lot of people have negative
stereotypes about fraternities."
Many fraternities have been
viewed as negative institutions in
the past. News coverage of Scott
Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September
because of alcohol poisoning
when he rushed the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity, brought much
controversy. Even though SAE
and TKE say that hazing does not
occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social
fraternity life is a problem. One
TKE brother admits that there
may be members who could work
on their maturity level and that
they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of
the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the
brotherhood and philanthropy
that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If
you go into any group of guys,
you're going to have a few you're
not going to like. But to knock
down the whole fraternity
because of one person just isn't
right," says Mike.
The fraternity members do
admit that they party,' they are
social organizations, but they also
say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like
the community work they do.
TKE brother, Mike, says that his
favorite TKE volunteer activity is
"I'm Going To College," an event
that takes place every semester
with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across
San Diego County have the
chance to visit the University
campus. Last year the kids played
with the computers, sat in police
cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other
activities. The whole goal is for
these children to catch a glimpse
into college life, in hopes that
they will take the initiative and go
to college when they are older.
The TKEs also helped out with
Special Olympics and the "Child
Trot." SAE has also done its
share of community service, like
tutoring at a charter school in
Oceanside, canned-food drives
for the holidays, holding book
bags every year for the Campus
Book Store, and fundraisers for
St. Claire's Battered Women's
Shelter in Escondido. Some of

It turns out that there may be

than the stereotypical images portrayed in movies and the media.
They are not solely about partying and socializing; they are also
about community service and

Student, staff, and the public

More than 500 CSUSM stu

Since the Sept. 11 attacks, reserv

WWII Veteran Daniel Ashe
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday, World War II
Veteran Daniel Ashe discussed
his experiences during the war,
including his service with the 5th
Army of General Mark Clark,
where he helped liberate concen
tration camps. He titled his lec
ture, “What I Found in Europe in
the Wake of WWII.”
Born in New York City in
1925, Ashe lived through the
Great Depression of the 1930s. It
was during his elementary school
years that he learned of the begin
nings of World War II and Adolf
Hitler’s orders to send troops into
the Rhineland in 1936.
When he turned 11 years old,
Ashe said he knew he wanted
to enter the armed forces, but
he feared that the war would be
over before he was old enough to
fight.
In June of 1940, when he
was 15 years old, Ashe graduated
from high school, and entered
college, enrolling in the ROTC
program. He later joined the U.S.
Army, and was sent to Fort Benning in Georgia for his training,
which he referred to as “90 days
of hell.”
Ashe had been told that he
should never volunteer for any
thing in the Army. However when
the 5th Army of General Mark
Clark began searching for soldiers
who spoke other languages, Ashe,
who spoke French, Qerman, and
Spanish, volunteered his services.
Ashe, and other multilingual sol
diers worked together to find con
fidential war information from
the German prisoners of war.
He said he enjoyed the volunteer
work, and felt “always a little
behind the lines.” The Army later
asked him to learn Russian and
Japanese, which he learned in six
weeks.
While in Germany, Ashe
aided in liberating concentration
camps. Upon freeing the first
camp, Ashe said he was “appalled
at man’s inhumanity to man.”
Ashe witnessed the emaciated,
starving, and lice-ridden victims
of the concentration camps, and
said he realized how blessed he
was to be an American citizen. He
also witnessed the joy of the liber
ation, including two Jewish men
walking out of the camp, arguing
about whether they should go to
the U.S. or Israel. In 1945, Ashe
also helped liberate other camps
in Bavaria.
While in Munich, Ashe
became involved with the Dis
placed Person’s Commission,
which brought 350,000 people to
the US. Ashe was one of the men
in charge of deciding who could
come to the U.S. and those who
could not; those who came to
the U.S. could not havea crimi
nal record, could not have tuber
culosis, and had to prove that
they were displaced because of
the war.

By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Friday night, approximately
220 students filled the California
Center for the Arts, Escondido,
for Associated Students, Inc.’s
first masquerade ball celebrat
ing ASI’s 10th anniversary. The
evening featured a full spread
of hors d’oeuvres and desserts,
a cash bar, a disc jockey, danc
ing, and a raffle for Mardi Gras
masks and party favors. Litera
ture and writing studies major
Katrina Richert said, “This is so
much fun, butl wish they would
have told us there would be food.
We went out to dinner before
coming, and we could have saved
a lot of money.”CSUSM students
were admitted free of charge,
and non-students paid $10 to
attend the ball. The masquerade
began at 7 p.m., and guests
dressed in tuxedos, suits, and
ball gowns. The last guests left
around 12:15 a.m. “We decided
on a masquerade theme because
the original date was closer
to Halloween time. When the
date changed, advertising was
already out,” said Chris Smith,
ASI Afternoon Activities Chair
man. “I would like to have seen
more Latinos at the dance, but
other than that, it was a lot of fun
to be with the campus commu
nity,” said Caty Angeles, a staff
member for college of arts and
science advising.
Most of the masqueraders
arrived by 9:30 p.m. “The turn
out could be better,” said Smith,
*but then again, if I wasn’t help
ing with organizing the event,
I wouldn’t be here yet; more
people will start to show up
around 10 p.m.” Throughout the
evening, ASI photographers took
pictures of friends and couples,
apd guests either dined at tables
or danced on the dance floor.
These pictures will be available
for purchase online at the
CSUSM website.
Kids o f all ages enjoyed dancing.

Lawsuits Against
University
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
Four new discrimination
lawsuits were filed against
CSUSM in October, adding
to’ the growing list of dis
crimination lawsuits filed by
employees against the school.
Phyllis Ferguson, a mainte
nance mechanic, and three
accountants, Kim Gomez,
Tricia C. Frady, and Cecilia
Boze, are the newest CSUSM
employees filing lawsuits alleg
ing racial and/or sexual
discrimination.
Ferguson filed charges
against CSUSM at Superior
Court in Vista on Oct. 31.
Some of the charges Ferguson
alleges in her lawsuit include
racial and gender discrimina
tion, retaliation, defamation,
negligence, and assault and
battery.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities; Chuck Walden,
associate director of Facilities;
Mike Rivera, lead carpenter of
Facility Services; Tim Shine,
building systems engineer of
Facility Services; Rick Fish,
lead locksmith of Facilities,
and CSUSM are the defen
dants in this case.
Ferguson declined com
ment about her lawsuit, saying,
“I have been advised by my
lawyer to make no comments.”
Her attorney was unavailable
to make any comments before
press time.
In her lawsuit files, Fer
guson claims that she was
denied wage increases, pro
motion, job training and edu
cational career opportunities
afforded to Caucasian employ
ees. She also claims that,
because she is African Ameri
can, she was continuously sub
jected to different regulation,
rules, and standards than her
Caucasian counterparts.
Ferguson also alleges that
she'was forced to use a Porta-Potty instead of an indoor
bathroom facility made avail
able to male co-workers. Fur
thermore, she claims to believe
that her sex was a substantial
factor, if not the sole factor,
in CSUSM’s discriminatory
treatment, according to court
files.
Thomas Blair, director of
Facilities, could not be reached
for comment after The Pride
left messages at his office and
via e-mail.
Chuck Walden, another,
defendant in Ferguson’s law
suit, told The Pride to contact
Rick Moore and declined to
make any comment.

The 22nd District Agricul
tural Asspciation hosted Enviro
Fair 2001 at the Del Mar Fair
grounds Friday. The event show
cased environmental, recycling
and sustainable resource exhibi
tors along with such well known
associations as Surf Rider, Sierra
Club, and I Love a Clean San
Diego. “This is a great oppor
tunity to meet professionals in
various fields and to learn about
things we can all do to improve
the place we live in,” said Nancy
Strauss, resource coordinator for
the Agricultural Association; She
added, “this event is about gath
ering and sharing information education is part of our mission
statement.”
One of the more interesting
exhibits featured a project from
Greg Quirin’s auto shop class at
James Madison High School in
Clairemont. Quirin, with the help
of assistant Dan McKinley, and
student leader Jeannette Greary
converted a 1983 diesel Volvo
sedan to run entirely on used
vegetable oil. “It may smell like
french fries”, Quirin said, “but
we’re getting 25 miles to the
gallon,”
The aptly named ‘Veggie
Volvo’ has emissions drastically
lower than any regular gas or
diesel-powered auto, making it
a much more environmentally
responsible alternative. The veg
etable oil, when mixed with lye
and methanol, forms biodiesel,
a fuel whose only by-product is
glycerin and consequently emits
40 to 60 percent lower emissions
than-common pollutants such as
carbon monoxide.
“Since most restaurants pay
significant disposal fees, to have
their cooking oil periodically
removed,” Quirin said, “they are
happy to have us take it away
for free.” He noted the cost of
biodiesel is “just over 50 cents a
gallon.” Quirin explained ‘hat a
t
large restaurant will use 500 gal
lons of oil a month, 90 percent
of which can be used to make
biodiesel. With the success of
the Veggie Volvo, Quirin is now
at work on converting a smaller
Volkswagen Rabbit hoping it
will achieve 45 to 50 miles per
gallon.
More than 30 companies and
organizations, including both the
city and county of San Diego,
took part in the one-day fair,
which also held a recycled art
contest for San Diego artists.
Strange and fascinating creations
assembled entirely from recycled
products greeted fairgoers upon
arrival. A
Using materials ranging from
the commonplace: bottles, cans,
wood, stained glass, screens,
cardboard, and newspapers, to
the quirky: bicycle and car parts,
chicken and turkey bones, and
even animal hair, artists con
structed a wide range of pro
vocative pieces. One artist had
crocheted hundreds of recycled
plastic shopping bags into a large
abstract form, while another fash
ioned a life-size cactus out of
wine corks.

tation Ricardo Favela, a member
of MEChA and M.U.D.P. spoke
briefly about the content of the
film and introduced a speaker
from M.U.D.P., Hector Muro.
. Following the presentation,
a dozen students discussed the
film and related it to the present
war in Afghanistan. Many stu
dents discussed the idea that the
media and the government may
be imposing more anti-Ameri
can biases with new stories on
the anthrax wave and the possi
ble connection with terrorism.
WWII Veteran Speaks
»A rticle cont. from page 1
After seeing the devastation
of inhumanity in the concentration
camps and the destruction of
Munich, Ashe said, “My hatred
of everything German was quite
intense.” It wasn’t until decades
later that he questioned his hatred
when he saw German student tour
ists on a bus in New York. He said
he realized that he could not hate
the younger generations that had
nothing to do with WWII.
Ashe returned to the U.S. in
1952, and now lives in San Diego
with his wife, Bernice. Ashe briefly
discussed America’s current war
against terrorism, saying, “like
now, WWII was a unifying event.”
He ended his lecture, by asking the
students whether or not this gener
ation is ready for war.

truthful the government actually
is and what citizens may or may
not know. “Honestly I think it’s a
really pissed-off white guy,” said
Harris, in regards to the recent
anthrax attacks.
Students also discussed the
idea that students need to be
very critical of what they are
reading in newspapers and mag
azines and what they hear on the
radio. “You need to be critical of
what is going on around you and
now more than ever attempt to
discover the truth through other
sources,” said Muro.
One student suggested rais
ing awareness by joining groups,
both on and off college cam
puses, that work to improve
social conditions. One such
group on campus is the Progres
sive Activists’ Network, started
by Erik Roper in an attempt to
educate students about campaign
clubs, and to the San Diego
Coalition for Peace and Justice,
another organization that is cur-:
rently attempting to educate
everyone about today’s events
and to look at all sides of the
war.
According to a student, these
groups by no means wish to
demean events such as the trage
dies of Sept. 11, but want people^
to see that there are more sides
and to question all establish
ments involved, and their pur
poses for their involvements.

explain exactly how everything
works. The event aims to pro
vide students, faculty and staff
with a view and insight to the
technological services and appa
ratuses available at CSUSM.
The Technology Fair is open
to anyone who is interested in
attending, and guests are wel

encing and how it works, and
how it is being used on campus
to create virtual meetings, are
scheduled. The technology aims
to make life at CSUSM more
enjoyable and convenient.

which is also the same time the
association began. “It’s amaz

active duty, reservists, military
dependents, and students inter
ested in the advocacy of veter

�Professor T ranslates A h Q u in ’s D iary
By ANN BENING
Pride Staff Writer
An earnest Chinese immi
grant, bom in Kaipnig, Guandong, made his way into the new
world with his pen and his blank
pages as his faithful friends. The
history of this Chinese immi
grant is brought to life on the
pages of Ah Quin’s Diary.
Literature and Writing Pro
fessor, Dr. Susie Cassel, who won
the Distinguished Professor of
the Year Award for 2000-2001,
took on the challenge of tran
scribing these diaries. Cassel
worked on the project with
Murray Lee, curator of ChineseAmerican History at the San
Diego Historical Society. ^
“The message these diaries
reveal,” said Cassel, “begins as
a travel ledger/book of growth
unfolding into a story of a selfmade man turned entrepreneur,
assimilating in America.”
Ah Quin’s Diary covers three
distinct phases of his life, includ
ing his life in Alaska, where he
worked as a cook for coal miners
from 1877-1879, his time in San
Francisco, where he worked as a
servant and cook for U S. mili
tary officers 1880, and his life in
San Diego. 4
In San Diego, from 1884
until 1902, Quin worked as a
recruiter for the railroad and
eventually became a successful
entrepreneur, community leader
and patriarch who bridged the
gap between the Chinese and the
white establishment of his day,
according to Cassel.
Quin immigrated to the U.S.
in 1863 when he was 15 years old.
With his knowledge of English,
which he learned through a mis
sionary school in China, Quin
began a daily record of his life for
25 years. During these years, he
produced 10 volumes and 1,200
pages of valuable information,
which he methodically devel
oped. He included the Roman
Calendar, as well as the Chinese
date, making sure he never forgot
to include his Chinese origins.
The diaries appeared to be
small enough to fit into a shirt
pocket, some on lined paper and
some on blank paper. Aspects of
the diary include copied Biblical
verses and a daily recording of
the weather, along with journal
entries. He also wrote with both
his left and right hand.
Cassel’s interest peaked when
she was told of this 19th century
diary written by a Chinese immi
grant in the English language.
She was aware that nothing like
this existed in the current AsianAmerican literary cannon. She
received permission to publish a
critical edition, in which other
researchers could access to this
work. *
“The interdisciplinary (indepth view of document to attain
valuable information) diaries
have value in a number of dif
ferent academic fields because of
the information regarding Quin
and his society at that moment in
time,” said Cassel.
Historians are interested in
confirming some of the details
concerning work on the Central
Pacific Railroad. Linguists are
interested in Quin’s grammatical
and syntactical use of the Eng
lish language and the evidence of
code switching in Chinese. Soci
ologists are interested in the life
style of a man in the Chinese
bachelor community during the
Chinese Exclusion Era of 1882.
“As editor of the critical edi
tion and one of the first inter
preters of the Work, I see more
clearly that the context in which
I situate the diary, the excerpts
I choose, the interpretations I
render here at the start, are sig
nificantly influencing the ways
others receive and respond to this

text,” said Cassel.
When asked how this project
has affected her, Cassel said,
“I think that working with Ah
Quin’s Diary has given me a
greater appreciation for the
importance and value of primary
texts. “
“If anything, it makes me see

According to Dr. Carlos von Son,
Novoa’s themes of discussion

beyond the text of Aura.
Von Son said he invited
Novoa “because of his expertise
on Mexican culture and because
it is a very multilevel novel.”
“The presentation was inter

�This Holiday Season, Don’t Stuff the Turkey
Mia’s Thai Salad
The Latest Craze in
San Marcos:
Bubble Tea
By Mia ALIO
Pride Staff Writer
LIVE, LOVE, EAT! The motto of many lives
including my own. Most of my friends and family
would describe me as an eccentric person. I have
many different tastes in fashion, film, and clothes.
But my most favorite eccentric style is that in my
choice of food. I love to eat and cook! I would like
to share an exciting new recipe for all of you who
are not afraid to experience the blend of various
foods that will have the pallet of your tongue beg
ging for more. The following recipe is my own cre
ation. It was inspired by my love of Thai cuisine.
It is a salad that contains ingredients from all of
the major food groups, with a dressing that makes
it an eccentric delight! Mia’s Thai salad calls for a
grilled boneless chicken breast, fresh greens (your
choice), carrots, bean sprouts (optional), noodles
(they don’t have to be Thai, they can even be spa
ghetti), cilantro, peanut butter, rice vinegar, milk,
lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar (or sugar substitute),
ginger, and sesame seeds (optional).
You will need:
V cup noodles
2
It is best to already have the noodles cooked
and chilled
1 1/2 cup mixed greens
1 carrot
V cup bean sprouts
2
1 boneless grilled (plain) chicken breast ( we
all know how to grill a chicken breast, right?)
Spread the fresh chopped greens on a plate, cut
the chicken in a desired fashion and lay it on top the
greens, arrange julienne (sliced thin) carrots and
bean sprouts in mounds at four sides of the plate,
build the noodles on top of the chicken and put the
dish aside to make the dressing.
2 tbsp.- peanut butter (reduced fat if your
“skinny” jeans aren’t fitting)
1 tbsp, milk
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar ( or l a packet of sugar substi
A
tute)
Vi tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ginger (it is best to grate a fresh ginger
root)
Briskly whisk these ingredients together in a
bowl. Taste buds always make the best judgment
in any needed altejations, so finger dip and lick to
adjust the sweetness of this dressing. After your
dressing is whisked smooth, drizzle its contents
over your plated salad. Add desired amount of fresh
chopped cilantro; also, it’s quite good if you add
chopped peanuts and/or sesame seeds.
The ingredients sound as if they don’t mix, but
to my lucky taste testing victims of the past, they
do! So give it a try, and remember - cook at your
own risk.

Bubble Tea, a small business in San Marcos,
is attracting many students from CSUSM and
local high schools. Bubble Tea is a teahouse
that offers hundreds of different drinks, includ
ing fruit slush drinks, cappuccinos, and tapioca
drinks.
I have tried all the San Diego teahouses,
but none of them can surpass the taste available
at San Marcos’ Bubble Tea, where they have
turned tea into a work of art.
The tapioca drink is unique. Many Asian
people refer to the drink as boba, which is
smooth and soft - the consistency actually
resembles soft, plastic bubbles. The tapioca
drink is a combination of gelatin and a special
type of flour with sugar. It’s very chewy and
tasty, and adds a unique twist to all the types of
drinks that Bubble Tea offers.
Although Bubble Tea is quite unique to this
area, there are many type of businesses like this
around the world. However, they originated in
several Asian countries, where tea is popular
among young people.
The San Marcos business started three
months ago, and draws about 300 customers
each week. According to owner James Wu, the
number of customers multiplies by three every
week. He also said that he has never advertised,
and that people hear of his business by word of
mouth.
The next time you want an alternative to
Starbucks and are thinking of trying something
less costly, try Bubble Tea’s variety drinks.
Most people are afraid of change, but believe
me, this type of change will open up a whole
new avenue for you.
Bubble Tea is located in front of San Marcos
High School, in the Vons shopping center.

Don’t Be Afraid of
Virginia Woolf”
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The San Diego Repertory
Theatre’s choice of cast for
Edward Albee’s classic “Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
brings a feeling of deja vu.
Just as Director Mike Nichols
cast Richard Burton against wife
Elizabeth Taylor in his 1962 film
version of the play (an event
which would ultimately lead to
their first divorce), so too do
we find Ellen Crawford playing
opposite her own husband, Mike
Genovese, in the lead roles of the
San Diego Rep’s recent incarna
tion.
For those among us who
have grown weary of the lack
luster performances of the talk
ing head actors who dominate
the televised spheres of politics
and war these days, “Virginia
Woolf’ provides a refreshingly
welcome reprieve. Albee named
his play after seeing those words
scrawled across a wall in a
graffiti-covered bathroom - the
title itself becomes a sing-song
refrain of the lead characters.
Set on a small campus in
middle America, the story
revolves around an older couple,
Martha (Crawford),* the brash,
seductive, devil-tongued daugh
ter of the local university’s presi
dent and George (Genovese), a
weary but willing history pro-
Fraternrty House, Inc.
Keepingtave Aitve
fessor who Counters Martha’s
invectives with witty retorts of
his own.
Following a liquor-soaked
faculty party, Martha invites
the handsome and eager Nick
(Peter Friedrich), a fledging
biology professor and newcom
er to the school, and his pleas
antly dim-witted wife Honey
(Carla Harting), back to her and
George’s house for an unforget
table evening of education.
In her role as the dynamo
Martha, Crawford, best known
as Nurse Lydia Wright from
TV’s “ER”, exudes energy and
vigor, whether snarling menac
ingly at George or sensually coo
ing at Nick. She does not toss
any line away but instead plumbs
the subtleties in the depths of
Martha’s persona.
Genovese, having stepped up
as George late in the game after
a bicycle accident displaced the
original actor, does an admirable
job toeing the fine line between
love and hate that seems to char
acterize George’s marriage to
Martha. The air often bristles
with electricity between the two
as their rapid-fire jabs move the
play quickly along.
George and Martha, married
for 23 years, reveal the complex
ities and vagaries inherent in a
long-term relationship. On the
surface, their remarks to each
other are coyly antagonist, care
fully constructed for maximum
damage, at tirfies hurtful. Yet
beneath that barbed veneer, their
love for one another is evident.
Their words carry the weight of
dreams unrealized, each holding
the other responsible, but know
ing ultimately they have found
their mate.
In her understated treatment
of the tipsy and blissfully igno
rant Honey, UCSD graduate
Carla Harting provides a per
petual comic backdrop to the
tension of Martha and George.
Her open-mouthed looks of dis
belief and awe create a hilarious
vision of a drunken woman we
all have known.
While Martha toys with the
jocular Nick, who hopes to curry
favor with the president’s daugh
ter, George plots his next move
in ‘the game’ with no help from
the comically inept (and increas
ingly drunken) Honey. As night
slowly turns to day, the char
acters reveal more about them
selves and more about the human
condition. Out in the audience we
learn about love, relationships,
life. And you can’t get that on
CNN.

For about an hour and a half,
“The Panama Deception,” a doc
umentary film, showed students
several sides of the invasion of
Panama by United States troops
at midnight of Dec. 20,1989.
What students learned about
was more than just three warfilled days in history. The
students that attended the film
learned that the attack also
served to test new stealth fight
ers and laser-guided missiles as
preparation for future wars, like
the Gulf War that began in 1991.
They also saw that there are
still questions to this day in
regards to exactly why it hap
pened and why the government
has supposedly lied about the
major details and kept them
from the Amer-
ican
people.
T he
supposed
reasoning
behind the
attack was
to uphold
the safety of Americans by
attempting to capture dictator
Manuel Noriega. The U.S. media
portrayed Noriega as a drug traf
ficker and a forceful and oppres
sive ruler. In 1989, the U.S.
government claimed it was pro
tecting the people of Panama
from him.
However, the film also
showed that the presence of our
military in the country was more
about maintaining control over
the Panama Canal and to force
our government upon them.
According to a 1903 treaty,
the U.S. was supposed to have
vacated all military bases in
the country, and Panama was
supposed to regain control ,of
the Canal by 2000. The treaty
changed after the 1989 invasion
to allow the U.S. government
more freedom in Panama.
According to the movie,
American troops invaded lowerclass communities like El Churjllo, Colon and San Miguelito
because ‘
they were less likely to
have any way of retaliating.
From some of the citizens’
perspective, the attack was unex
pected, uncalled for, and a highly
illegal act of genocide. They had
no idea why this was happening
to them, and many of them were
forced out of their homes by
troops, sent to the Balboa con
centration camp, and detained.
Eyewitnesses have made
claims that innocent citizens,
many of them men from the ages
of 15 to 22, were taken to mass
graves and executed. According
to other eyewitnesses, the U.S.
military at the front entrance of
the camp gunned down about
eight citizens. The number of
deaths from the Panama attack is
still thought to be anywhere from
2,500 to 4,000. The government
and media claimed only 2 5 0
casualties to
American
people.
Others that had been
detained were given refugee
numbers and placed under
intense interrogation. The mili
tary also took control of hospi
tals and morgues, and doctors
were detained.
Troops controlled access to
the media, and press pools were
only granted access to military
bases four hours following the
attack. “It is worse now, now the
media is self-censoring,” com
plained one student during the
discussion after the film.
In the film, photojournalist
Julio Guerra .managed to infil
trate the barricades to other sites
to capture some of the footage
that is available today. Manuel
Becker was a cameraman who
had been stopped by troops,
forced to hand over his tapes,
and arrested until the bombing
was over. Other media personnel
were shot and killed.
In the film, new suggestions
from the filmmakers forced stu
dents to question the attack and
the leaders of the countries.

�Spanish Theatre Students
Perform in ProfessorWritten Play,
“Dona Criba”
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
Since the fall semester
began, the students of Dr. Carlos
von Son’s Spanish theatre class,
Viva el Teatro' have been busy
producing and rehearsing for an
original theater production titled
“Dona Criba.” The play tells the
fictional story of Dona Criba, a
telephone operator who serves
as the center “nerve” of a small
town in central Mexico during
the early 1980s.
The play is entirely in Span
ish and was written by von Son.
“This play is a metaphor for me,
the playwright, and contains ele
ments of social criticism through
comedy,” said von Son.
To accommodate non-Span
ish speakers in the audience,
the students will provide writ
ten translations, as well as a
recorded narrative in English,
which some of the audience may
hear using headphones.
Students have also been
working to raise money to fund
the costs for costumes, setting
construction, and other produc
tion costs. For many of the stu
dents, this is the first time they
will act in front of a live audi
ence.
Lydia Contreras, a Spanish
major cast in the role of Prudencia, said, “I hope that we will
do a good job, because I feel a
little rushed. But I know we will

With only four other people
in the theatre (not including two
friends and myself) it seems
that “Riding in Cars with Boys”
was not the best choice out of
the films we could have sj&
en.
However, my friend Kelly raved
about it for days and insisted on
taking us with her for her second
look at the film.
Based on the autobiography
with the same^itle, “Riding in
Cars with Boys,” stars Drew
Barrymore. Barrymore’s perfor
mance immediately drew me
into the film (no pun intended),
proving that she is awesome at
her craft, but far too often takes
on crummy roles.
Barrymore plays Beverly,
who as a teenager, dreams of
becoming a writer (. .. this is
part of why I liked the film so
much) only to find her dreams
tom apart by an accidental preg
nancy. (The baby was conceived
in the backseat of her boyfriend’s
car). As she grows up and is
somewhat raised by her son,
she tries to come to terms with
her life and how to become a
mother.
The film begins with a look
at Barrymore at age 35 and her
20-year-old son, and then flashes
back to her in eighth grade (in
the 1960s). It then follows her
life up through her son’s eighth
birthday. Truthfully, there is
one hole in the plot: as the film
switches back and forth from
past to present, we find out that
Beverly has finally succeeded
as a writer, and has written an
autobiography. The problem is
that audience never actually sees
Barrymore’s character working
on her book, nor do we learn
what happened with her son from
age eight to age 20.
Directed by Penny Marshall,
“Riding in Cars with Boys” is
labeled as a comedy. Still, Mar
shall, who is an expert in conveyinghuman emotions in her films,
carefully crafted a delicate bal
ance between comedyand trag
edy. The film will leave viewers
with laughter to the point of a
side ache and tears.
Viewer Hooked
on Fox’s “24”
Dennis Haysbert stars as Senator Palmer in “24, '-(Courtesy Photo/Fox)
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
What can be done in the
space of 24 hours? For one show,
it will take an entire season to
find out. “24” premiered on Fox
last Tuesday. The title is indic
ative of the major plot device
for each show; it’s shot in real
time, one hour of 24 each Tues
day night.
The idea behind “24” was
simple; take a terrorist squad and
focus on the events that unfold
over the course of a 24-hour
period. The excitement picks up
early in the show, as we are
introduced to the main charac
ters, both the good guys and bad
guys.
However, the most appeal
ing character is good guy Kiefer
Sutherland as lead, Jack Bauer.
Bauer is a family man dealing
with Kimberly’s (his teenage
daughter) rebellion and the
recent restoration (they had been
separated) of his marriage to
Teri (Leslie Hope of the upcom
ing film, “Dragonfly”),
At work, Bauer struggles
with his ex-affair Nina Myers
(Sarah Clarke of “Ed”) and the
threat of terrorist attack (most
recently, the threat against Sen
ator David Palmer, a presiden
tial candidate in Los Angeles.)
Dennis Haysbert, best
known for his mad science cre
ator role in “Now and Again”,
plays Palmer. Haysbert has been
in countless films and is extraor
dinarily gifted and a pleasure to
watch on the screen. The senator
is hardly seen the first hour but
is presented as a good guy
with his wife by his side. He
works hard with his speech
writer at midnight to put together
the next day’s words, but then
receives a mysterious phone call.
A reporter asks him something
that outrages him, but when,
asked by his wife, he refuses to
tell. What is it that he is hiding
and how does it tie into the ter
rorist plot?
In the first show, Suther
land’s character manages to play
chess with his daughter (played
by Elisha Cuthbert of Nick
elodeon’s “Are You Afraid of
the Dark”), catches her running
away, goes into work, reveals
that he was having an affair,
shoots a man with a tranquilizer
gun, calls his wife a few times,
and solves part of a crime com
mitted by a CIA co-worker. Not
bad for one hour. Nevertheless,
can the shows creators keep up
the pace or will interest begin to
wane somewhere in the twelfth
hour?
Many of the shots were
grainy and in odd angles to show
a more realistic look, while cam
eras shot the same scene from
two to .four angles to give the
audience the upper hand. But
Television
REVIEW
will the realistic look continue?
How realistic will it seem when
Bauer is up for 24 hours and still
looks refreshed? Will Suther
land want to spend half a season
looking haggard? Will one show
be the “nap show” where we
watch Sutherland and his wife in
slumber? Can the realistic look
go too far? Will it end up as
annoying as “Survivor?”
Meanwhile, I await tonight’s
second show, knowing that no
matter what the answers to my
many questions, I am hooked
and am sure you will be if you
watch.
Why am I hobked? For the
same reason the shows’ premiere
was postponed until now. The
opening sequence showed twin
towers in Asia, where a terror
ist is planning an assassination
plot on the first black presiden
tial candidate in America. Ter*
rorism and twin towers as your
opening sequence is quite risky
for a show, but “24” risks even
more. JVith a plane explosion
in the last ten minutes of the
show, the appeal for many Amer
icans may have been lost. How
ever, the smart ones will stick
around.
If you want to find out more,
the web site, www.fox.com/24

show and allows viewers a way
to interact with the characters
and the CIA files. Information
on the characters, plot and back
ground can be found; for exam

“24” can be seen on Fox on
Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

Student Outraged About Change
in Payment Plan
Served
By CONSTANCE CHUA
Pride Staff Writer
Picture courtesy o f Department Affairs
Dear Veterans,
It is not often enough that we come together
To say our thanks to each of you,
So it is with great respect that I address this letter:
Thank you for your courage:
For courage is not the opposite of fear,
Courage is taking action despite fear.
Thank you for your internal struggles:
The battle between heart and mind...
Mind desiring the best for our nation, heart desiring peace.
Thank you for our freedom:
I cannot imagine the nightmares many of you have lived,
So I can freely live the American Dream.
We owe you more than a day of celebration,
We owe you more than a day of remembrance,
We owe you a lifetime of humility.
Sincerely, Safe and Free

Editors’ Note: The needed information was sent to the pride e-mail
by Rick Moore and then forwarded
to Constance Chua three weeks
ago.
This semester I encountered
multiple problems with the new
payment plan option that our
school executed. I have encoun
tered and interviewed some people
who had experienced the same
grief and stress that I have.
However this semester, the com
mittee responsible for the payment
plan implementation has made yet
another amendment to the pre
viously set payment option plan;
four weeks ago, The Pride was
informed of the new changes.
I was very curious about the
changes the administration was
going to make, so I decided to
take on an article, hoping to share
this new information to all of the
students here at CSUSM. How
ever on Oct. 16 when I spoke to
Paul Tiglao, an employee in the
Cashier’s Office, regarding these
changes, he told me that he knew
Response to “Humanitarian Aid Kills”
I would like to start out by saying
that decreasing the world’s population
will not increase our food supply..
We already have more than enough
food to feed every single person on
this planet comfortably. The problem
is not scarcity of food, but how the
food is being distributed. The global
economy has one primary motive, and
that is profit. Many countries cannot
increase their food supply because
of inefficient ownership of resources.
There are centralized political author
ities that have control over resources
like food. The use and production of
these resources are taken out of the
hands of the local people and into the
hands of these authorities.
World ^hunger also comes from
impersonal market forces. The market
demand for export crops increases to
satisfy the needs of far-off consum
ers, rather than the local needs. For
example, it is more lucrative to pro
duce chocolate than to produce grains
in a country that depends economi
cally on exports.
An article from Food First called
“The Myth - Scarcity, The Reality There is Enough Food,” goes into great
detail about our global food supply.

The authors report that, “according to
the Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion of the United Nations, gains in
food production since 1950 have kept
ahead of population growth in every
region except Africa. The American
Association for the Advancement of
Science found in a 1997 study that 78
percent of all malnourished children
under five in the developing world live
in countries with food surpluses.” In
Africa, the food producers are cut out
of the economic decisions affecting
their survival. As far as supplying aid
to countries, it does come at a price.
A lot of aid programs are not free, the
government pays for it, or there are
conditions that the countries have to
meet in order to receive aid.
In conclusion, it really does not
make sense to correlate food consump
tion with increased populations. The
argument that, with increased popula
tions the food supply decreases, does
not hold true. In developed countries
we see a decrease in birth rates and
with increased resources we see the
opposite, more deaths than birth rates.

the changes, but refused to tell
me what they were because Rick
Moore, of External Affairs, had to
finalize everything.
Tiglao also said, “Call me back
sometime next week. Maybe Rick
Moore is done reviewing it, and
then I can give you the informa
tion.” And I responded, “Sure, but
keep in mind some students need
to be informed of the new pay
ment plan because the registration
is fairly soon.” And Mr. Tiglao
responded, “Sure, but I cannot tell
you anything because Mr. Moore
has to take a look at the changes
first, o.k.”
I e-mailed Rick Moore that
week, but received no response
from him either.
I don’t know about you guys,
but it seems to me that the school
administration could care less
about the paying customers they
have, the students. As a student
here, I have the right to know about
these changes whether I write for
The Pride or not. But the admin
istration that is involved in these
changes is certainly just taking its
sweet time and refusing to provide
pertinent information for everyone
else.
Last week our schedule was
available at the bookstore, so pay
attention to your payment plan
changes. Do you think it’s much
better than last semester? Say
something - don’t just look at it
and ignore the problem.
I have been attending this uni
versity since 1997, and I was in
most of your shoes thinking that I
would never have any problems but I did this semester.
We need to be united and peti
tion to get a system that can take
care of us. We negd to have an
ombudsman, who will be our medi
ator between the school system
and ourselves, or simply a group
of students that will fight for our
rights as students and paying cus
tomers.
The administration needs to
communicate properly so that it
can better serve us. Sure, we under
stand that our school is on its
way to becoming more diverse and
expanding the institution to pro
vide excellence in our education,
but do it the right way with little
or no grief to the students. The
bottom line is to pay close atten

Opinion
Reviewing the PC
(Pathetically Correct) Movement
By JAMES NEWELL
Staff Writer
Recently, a letter ran in
the student newspaper that
accentuated the horribly
offensive “Battle of the
Sexes;” it surprised me how
deeply affective The Pride
can be to readers.
I didn’t realize the rami
fications of such tawdry fun
until I was driving down
the 78 freeway, idly thinking
(yes, I can do two things at
once). I wondered why and
how a column in the opinion
(we all have one) page could
cause such distress in some
readers, when I came to a
red light. I apologize; I mean
a stoplight - I don’t want
to bring color into this. No,
actually let’s just call it a traf

exclude the “go” component,
and I don’t want to offend
anyone (Oh, and let me apolo

Anyway, back to the issue
concerning the “Battle of the

the question of audience.

In an attempt to find and
create well-rounded student lead
ers on campus, the Office of Stu
dent and Residential Life has
created the Emerging Leaders
Program. The ELP is designed to
help first-time freshman explore
their individual capabilities and
prepare them for leadership posi
tions on campus and in the
community. Hopeful leaders are
taught that, through exploring
self-definition and personal
development strategies, they can
gain the knowledge and insight
that will carry them as leaders
throughout the rest of their lives.
The program is co-coordinated by Jonathan Poullard, dean
of students, and Cara Appel-Silbaugh, coordinator of New Stu
dent Programs and Greek Life.
The voluntary program, in its
first year, is offered to freshman
and meets in 2-hour sessions, 12
weeks out of the semester. ELP
has 12 members.
Poullard describes the focus
of the program as an effort to
“move students from the con
sciousness of the selfto global cit
izenship, while maintaining the
core values of the institution.
We’re using the seven C’s leader
ship model, based on a program
developed by colleagues across
the nation and which runs out
of UCLA.” Both facilitators have
taught similar classes; Poullard
at Occidental College and Penn
State, and Silbaugh at Pitt and
Bowling Green University.

leadership activities and are

Surf Team Arises
Last Game of the
Season Cancelled
By MARTHA SARABIA
Pride Staff Writer
On Sunday, Nov. 4, the last game
of the season for the CSUSM men’s
soccer team was cancelled by USC.
The game was to take place at USC.
“We drove all the way there, but the
USC team never showed up,” said
Coach Khalid Al-shafie.
“The game did not take place due
to the USC’s coach’s decision to
cancel the game because o f incli
mate weather.” Brad Schmidt, Club
Services Technician for Associated
Students Inc., confirmed that the
game was cancelled because of the
rainy weather.
However, neither Cal State San
Marcos nor Al-shafie was ndtified
about the cancellation. “I don’t
know what happened, said Al-shafie.
“They didn’t call...” Schmidt, who
was at a conference that Sunday
and was not notified about the can
cellation, said, “The USC coach
neglected to contact anyone from
Soccer players at CSUSM\ (Courtesy Photo/Sports Dept)
our school about this ... The game
was confirmed by me the Thursday
before I left town [the week of the
scheduled game}.”
Schmidt also added that one of the
reasons that USC failed to contact
CSUSM about the cancellation may
have been USC’s new coach, who is
both a-student and a player. “It was
an unfortunate occurrence because
our CSUSM soccer team was ready
to play,” 'said Schmidt. “It could
have concluded the season as a win
ning one at 5-4-1 instead of 4-4-1.”
Schmidt said he believed the soccer
team’s season was successful. “They
won four hard battles and lost two
by the slightest of margins against
some pretty decent collegiate com
petition,” said Schmidt.
Al-shafie added, “We are very
excited about our prospects going
into next year with a high number of
returning players, and the continued
support of ASL”
Schmidt projects that the team’s
final, overall placement will be third
out of the five or six teams in the
league. The official league standings
were not available by press time.

Cal State San Marcos’, surf team placed fourth out
of 25 teams in the National Scholastic Surfing Associ
ation’s Southwest Conference at the Ventura C Street
Pipes. In the event, held Oct. 28, CSUSM’s Julie Russel,
a shortboarder, placed fourth for the college women’s
division, and Dustin Franks placed fifth in the longboard. The team includes team captain Chris Darrah,
shortboarders Scott Chebegia, Colin Hanel,* Dave Kincannon, Ryan Leonardy, Ryan McHenry, and bodyboarder Chris Erdos.
The team held tryouts Oct. 13 at the Carlsbad State
Beach. The tryouts attracted a total of 14 students, and
nine surfers were chosen. Currently the team practices
by playing scrimmages against Miracosta College.
Competition is nothing new to the majority of the
members. “We are very fortunate to have a teafti headed
by players who have been in several NSSA competi
tions,” said Professor Amber Puha of the mathematics
department. Puha created the team with the help of
Associated Students, Inc. this past summer.
As soon as the team gets a larger budget, Puha said
she will organize a second team that will serve as a
developmental program to foster new surfing talent. Stu*
dent Erik Runsvold will be the captain of that team,
and the women’s shortboarder will be Jamie Tomei, who
placed second in the tryouts.
The actual competitions are similar to track and
field because both have “heats.” One heat includes six
players, and only three may advance to the next round.
Each player has 15 minutes to catch 12 waves, and the
top three scores are used for final scoring.
Scoring is subjective and will include both the indi
vidual and team score. An athlete can either advance
or not, without penalizing the team. The team receives
points based on the placement of the athlete.
The person in first place receives six points; second
place receives five points, and so on.. In CSUSM’s com:
petition at the Ventura Street Pipes, the team earned 96
points. The first-place team, UC Santa Barbara, earned
162 points.
CSUSM’s next surf competitions will be held at
Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Ventura, and the
next NSSA college event wilLbe held Dec. 22 at Black’s
Beach.
Most of the team’s competitions have taken place at
local beaches. “If they wanted to travel to some place
like Costa Rica, as a surf club, they could through fund
raisers, support and enthusiasm,” said Puha.
Those who would like more information about
the surf team are asked to contact Amber Puha at
