BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
Jan. 28-Students, Faculty,

hours to allow the festivities to

The event drew hundreds of
students who lined up for f ree
food and special 20th anniversary memorabilia. San Diego

lucky students won in a r affle.
President Haynes was among
many campus and community

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,

saying, "CSUSM has contributed to the economic growth
and success of our region,
with nearly 90% of its alumni
staying in the region, providing a pool of skilled and tal-
ented workers." Vice Mayor
M artin also recognized the
work students do f or the community, acknowledging the
more than 165,000 community service hours students
p erform annually for the city
of San Marcos.
Vice Mayor M artin concluded his speech with the
proclaimed the City of San
Marcos would o fficially recognize Jan. 28 as " California
State University San Marcos
Day. Students cheered at the
news, a recognition by the
community of the pivotal role
CSUSM plays in the area.
One of the major highlights of the event was the
unveiling of a special 20th
a nniversary f lag.
Members of the University Police
D epartment were present to
r aise the new f lag, which
will now f ly alongside our
state and national f lags f or

W omen's Softball
team makes
school proud on
new field
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
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

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"

the effects of the economy still remained.
He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot
find work. Many businesses have shattered.
President Barack Obama has now officially Home values have declined. Small towns

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

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

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
with an RBI double in the sixth
inning.

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

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
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
ROCKY
HORROR
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.

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

band's beginnings. Thefirstsingle, "Lights," was released in May followed by "Barricade" released this summer.

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."

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

to enroll in thefreeChase Quick Deposit

Even though I don't get paid, it's still
tons of fun. I do it because I get to see
myfriends,I get to meet new people and
make them laugh all night. Plus, I like
the attention when I'm running around in
my underwear," said Cassandra Klingbeil,
Rocky Horror Cast member since 2008.
The show begins with a humorous introduction explaining the show
rules, which aren't many. Then there's the
induction of the "virgins" who have never
been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show
before which often includes bananas, whip
cream and good 'ole fashioned spankings.
"First timers can expect confusion. Utter
confusion. Some of the stuff people are
yelling might offend them. Some stuff
might make you laugh your ass off," said
Cassidy. A few other games, such as "unhook that bra," will get the audience fired
up for the show.
The show will be anything but

audience member, you will yell callbacks,
throw stuff and dance the "Time Warp."
If you don't have things to throw or don't
know how to do the dance, don't worry.
Goody bags full of items to throw at specific times during the movie are available
to purchase for $2 and the "Time Warp"
steps are easy and the movie shows you
how to do it. "It's an audience participation movie. I stopped going for the movie
a million years ago. It's all because of the
people and the friendships you develop,"
said Cassidy.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
is held every Friday at midnight at La
Paloma Theater and admission is $9. The
second Friday of every month is Lingerie
Night, where cast members and audience
members come dressed in street legal
lingerie. For more information on rules,
