E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
Students are being encouraged to complete a campus
climate survey about the atmosphere both in and out of
the classroom at CSUSM.
The survey, which is conducted by UCLA's Higher
Education Research Institute, collects responses from
participants about academics, relationships with students and faculty, campus activities and campus services.
The survey is intended for
undergraduate students who
have experienced campus
climate, completed at least
30 units and are not graduating this semester. The email
was first sent to eligible participants on March 6. Students that are interested in
taking the survey should look
through their inbox and deleted mail f or an email with
the title "Share Your CSUSM
Experience & Enter to Win a
Fall 2015 Parking Permit!"
Participants will be entered into a drawing to win
a Fall 2015 CSUSM parking permit (which totals a
$338 value) or one of five
$50 Visa gift cards. Winners will be randomly selected on or before June 3.

�Hoop star Andersson ready for next step
B Y B URTLAND D IXON
S PORTS E DITOR
The forward hailing all the
way from Sweden is on his
way to be a college graduate. The basketball studentathlete Jacob Andersson
reveals what made his stint
at CSUSM noteworthy.
When asked how his experience has been while at
CSUSM, Andersson had
nothing to complain about.
"Overall it's been a great
experience," said Andersson.
"As far as basketball, my two
years here both had bumps
throughout the season, but
we've always manage to figure things out. Overall it's
all positive." Andersson discloses his most memorable
moment came during the final game of his 2014 season.
"It was really bittersweet, but in the fourth
quarter we had the greatest
comeback that I've seen or
been a part of," Andersson
said. "That personified the
whole team of that year because everybody was really
dedicated and hard working. Everybody really had
each other's back, so even
though we ended up losing
the game in overtime; that
was a feat that I 'm not going to forget in a long time."
It is interesting to note that
Andersson's first sport was
Patchen enhances skills
not basketball even though
his father was a part of Sweden's first basketball league.
He started off playing sports
like ice hockey and soccer.
And when he tells you why
he switched from ice hockey to basketball, there was
a logical reason behind it.
"I never really started playing basketball and he [his father] was not trying to push
me to play basketball," said
Andersson. "I played hockey
until I was 15. I was more
talented in basketball than I
was in hockey and basketball was a better experience
to be around as a team with
players and friends. I think
that was a big factor for me."
The time is near for Andersson to take the next steps
in his life, a task that many
are quite nervous about.
That doesn't seem to be
the case for him, however.
"I definitely feel prepared
in the way that Cal State
[San Marcos] has prepared
me as much as it should for
my next step," Andersson
said. "Since I am a Psychology major, most Psychology
majors do go on to get their
masters or PhD, so it's definitely not like I've reached
the goal of my academic
career so far. Cal State has
helped me to be where I
want to be at this point, but I
still have some ways to go."

Well, there you have it. Jacob Andersson, the former
ice hockey player and future
psychologist says he is prepared for what is next. His
favorite memory may not
have been a winning effort,
but it sure can be something
that will remind him of the
bumpy roads and show him
how far he's come. Best of
wishes to you Andersson.

A SSISTANT S PORTS E DITOR
With a plan for the future
in place, CSUSM baseball
player Ray Patchen spoke
to The Cougar Chronicle
about college and his vision for life after graduation.
Patchen gave a token of advice tofellowstudentsathletes
who have yet to graduate.
"Enhance your time management s kills" he said.
"You can't play a sport forever, at some point you're
going to have to graduate and
go on in professional life."
Looking back on life as
a studentathlete, Patchen highlighted two accomplishments he is particularly satisfied with.
"I am really proud of
my hit streak that I got
earlier this year, a 24game hit streak," he said.
"Also every semester I've
been in school since I was
a freshman in high school,
I 've had over a 3.0 GPA."
After college, Patchen
hopes that baseball will continue to be apart ofhis life .As a
Communication
ma-
jor, he wants "to one day
use that [degree] to become a professional major league [ MLB] umpire "
Not only does he hope to
pursue a career as an umpire, but Patchen also has
his eyes set on management training positions.
The five week " MLB accredited umpire school starts
in January out in Florida" said
Patchen. He intends on going
through the course in hopes
of being a M LB umpire.
Patchen, an infielder for
the Cougars is the only baseball player graduating this
year. In his time at CSUSM,
Patchen has left his mark not
only on the baseball field but
also in academics. He is only
the second baseball player in
program history to receive
the Capital One/CoSida
Academic All District Team
honors. This award is given
to players for exemplary performance both in the classroom and on the field. Patchen's success at Cal State
San Marcos could be an
indicator of things to come.

The school year is rapidly
coming to a close. For s ome|
there are more semesters to
go; however, for senior Damon Moore or as his friends
call him DJ, his time here,
at CSUSM as a studentathlete is numbered. The
All American track and field
hurdler may be on his way to
accepting his diploma, but
leaving CSUSM also means
leaving behind fond memories, a caring professor and
a moment to last forever.
Cougar Chronicle: What
has made your time here
at CSUSM memorable?
Moore: Joining the track
team and being very involved on campus. Being
really involved and having track to push me to get
good grades, to study more
and to compete. I think if
I wasn't in a sport I don't
think I would have enjoyed
myself as much as I did.
CC: What was your
favorite moment while

a top nine finish at the highest level of competition in
the nation) at Nationals and
having the school record. We
came into Nationals ranked
13 th and we came out placing fourth. I think that was
the best moment of my life.
CC: Out of all your years
here, who was your favorite professor and why?
DM: I 'm going with [Professor] Chadwick because
she's a Women's Studies
professor and I was a little skeptical about taking
Women's Studies. I took
her 101 class that I really
liked and she made me think
about certain issues I never
thought about before. She's
really passionate about what
she is teaching and she really makes us look at things
in a different perspective.
There was a time when I
was having some issues, and
she understood and talked
to me because she could
relate. I 'm going to really
miss her when I graduate.
CC: What are your goals
for after you graduate?
DM: I got offered a track
position out here in San Marcos and a head coaching job
out in my hometown, Vista
Murrieta. [I want to be] either a track coach or pursue
my dreams in the entertainment field as in acting. Over
summer, I 'm going to work
with somebody who is in
that field as a director and be
her personal assistant to see
if that's really want I want to
do. From experiencing what
he deemed the best moment
of his life while competing, to having a professor he
could talk when he was in
rut, Moore surely did have
plenty to enjoy while here
at CSUSM. Congratulations
and good luck on your journey after graduation, Moore.
Ex-Charger's workout
perfect for college students
B Y A MY C HASTAIN
ASSISTANT SPORTS E DITOR
Shedding over 80 pounds
in five months is no small
feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick,
the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that.
The former football player
began his weight loss project in 2014 upon his exit
from the NFL after suffering a neck injury. During
his 11 year career, Hardwick
weighed around 295 pounds.
As a center, Hardwick used
his weight to push the defensive players back and protect
his quarterback Philip Rivers.
At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick
stood before the press at
208 pounds down from
293 pounds, according to
a tweet by UT San Diego
writer Michael Gehlken.
Hardwick's focus on a
healthy life was all but confirmed when he stood before the media with this
new slimmed down frame.
On his Instagram account, Hardwick stamps
himself as a "fitness
junkie" and "health nut."
Hardwick's various social media platforms consistently highlight his wife
and children, but now they
detail his journey to health
through food and fitness.
He
shares
workouts
which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done
in 20 minutes or less, and
with minimal equipment.
The most unique part
about the following workout is that Hardwick
did it in skinny jeans.
When questioned by a
fellow Instagram user on
why he was wearing jeans,
Hardwick responded that
he was "just proving that
you can do this workout
anywhere. In any attire."
One minute of each of
the following (no rest between exercises). Do as
many as possible within
the time frame. Rest 30
seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times.
Jumping
Jacks
Squat
Lunges
Mountain climbers
Push ups
If Nick Hardwick can do
five rounds of this workout in
skinny jeans, it is not wild to
think it is an attainable workout for any college student.

JJ Gutowski exemplifies servant leadership
B Y C HRIS M ORALES
P HOTO E DITOR
Jeff "JJ" Gutowski is
an outstanding scholar,
leader and mentor who has
learned from the manyhardships he has faced in
life and will leave a lasting
legacy at CSU San Marcos.
Gutowski, a Business major with a Political Science
minor, will graduate from
CSUSM in May after arriving to the university in
2010. In the five years he
has attended San Marcos,
Gutowski has been deeply involved in Associated
Students, Inc. (ASI), ACE
Scholars, Model United
Nations and the California
State Student Association.
After moving to Hemet at
the age of 10, Gutowski attended Tahquitz High School
where he credits much
of his success originated.
"As far as Tahquitz goes,
I give so much credit to
the teachers and everyone that absolutely laid
the foundation for me," he
said. "They provided me
with so much opportunity
constantly for growth."
Personal growth is an aspect of life that Gutowski
has become familiarized
and more comfortable with
over the years. He credits his
growth as a leader to not only
his many successes in life,
but his mistakes as well. The
current ASI Vice President
of External Affairs reflected
on some of those moments
from his freshman year.
"I needed to turn in an
ASI application. I was five
minutes late turning in the
application, [it] delayed me
a whole year," Gutowski
stated. "Another regret:
for the orientation team, I
went to apply and I wrote
it in pencil. Didn't get the
position because of that."
Gutowski now writes all
of his applications in pen.
Putting in the "extra 10
percent" has now become
a mantra that Gutowski has
chosen to follow in order to
develop himself to the fullest extent. This personal
growth has resulted in a
character that learns from
his mistakes, and is able to
find success by overcoming these constant hardships.
"I still mess up every
day. It's just taking that
nasty anxiety feeling and
turning it into something
positive," Gutowski said.
He credits his growth and
success to many mentors, but
he also believes that his greatest success is being a mentor
to others. Spreading positivity and building healthy

relationships with others
are small steps he chooses
to take on his monumental path as a servant leader.
"If you're going to be a leader it has to be because you're
empowering other people,"
Gutowski said, Once you
do that, I think you're going to be on a good path."
Gutowski leads by example, and examples like his
are hard to come by. He will
be pursuing a career with
Latham & Watkins LLP following graduation; but his
legacy, filled with a multitude of friendships and mentorships, will be looked up to
by future Cougars as the definition of servant leadership.

also plan to work, but I 'm
giving myself a year, so
I 'm definitely going fo slow

For potential law schools
and jobs, Diwag* says she
doesn't want to speak on the
matter and cause bad juju.
As to where she sees herself
in the next ten years, Diwag
is not interested in finding
Mr. Right, being married
with kids, but in fact, to be
out making a difference and
searching for progression ."I
want to give back to the community and I want to help
empower them the way they
empowered me," she says as
she recites a quote that symbolizes who she wants to be.
"I carry the dreams of the
community that raised me."
" I'm definitely not done
learning, I consider myself
to be a lifelong learner, I expect that I will travel more,to places you don't hear
about." "All the stuff going
on, all the discussions people are having, I hope there's
progress, in ten years, I want
to still be having those discussions. I hope that me and
other people can talk about
it easier and that we won't
have to walk on our tiptoes,
we can just say something."
And for future graduates,
Diwag has a final piece of
advice ."If you are ever given an opportunity, consider
it and then if you decide to
take that opportunity then do
it, kick that door down and
just kick ass at it. Prove that
this opportunity was given to
you because you are the best
performing at it. If not, learn
how to gracefully bow out
of commitment," she said.

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

is the fact that she dubbed

Madison Silvas, CSUSM's
Kinesiology Club president, will be graduating
this spring. Silvas plans
to complete prerequisite
classes, take the Graduate Record Examinations
(GRE), the Test of Essential

and apply to nursing school.
"Eventually, my plan is
to become a pediatric nurse

"Also, I plan on interning in
a hospital to get more experience in the field as well as
continue research that I have
been working on at CSUSM."
While attending CSUSM,
Silvas became involved in
surf research, participating
in three studies and having
the opportunity to present
the first at the Southwest
American College of Sports

(SWACSM) in Costa Mesa
in October 2014. She will be

"I never thought I would

grown a lot from these experiences," said Silvas.
Silvas never thought she
would become involved in

much she enjoyed the Kinesiology Club and the individuals within it. She became the
president of the club when the

me to work hard and never

Honestly, I couldn't imagine accomplishing what

While growing to love
the atmosphere of CSUSM,
Silvas met many friends
who have had a positive impact on her life
"I have met so many incredible, unique and brilliant

she said. "I will definitely

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

"Ob Portu * in Latin means "Toward the port". In the days when ships were powered only by the wind and the sea, a ship's
captain and crew had to pay close attention to the tide, winds and the port for that perfect moment to allow a ship to make it
safely into harbor. The word "opportunity" derives from the literal translation of this nautical tradition. We must be alert for
those opportunities to head to port, and we must use wisdom to know when it is therighttime to take the tide.

Izumi Furusawa is currently an international student here at CSUSM. She
hails from Tokyo, Japan
where she started her academic studies before transferring to this university.
She's been here for over two
years studying Global Studies and will be participating
in the commencement ceremony in May, although she'll
be officially done in the fall.
Furusawa has
always
been interested in foreign
countries because of her
family's love of traveling.
She was exposed fo different cultures at a young age.
It was this exposure that led
her to come to America as
well as her love of foreign
cultures. "America has more
diversity. This is diversity.
Diversity means the world
to me," Furusawa said.
Being a student at CSUSM
is an advantage for Furusawa
and her future career because
American degrees are more
valuable in Japan. However,
all good things must come to
an end. After she gets her degree she will have to return
to her native country Japan
even though she doesn't
want to. "My goal is to come
back here through a Japanese

company," Furusawa said.
Throughout the two years
that she's been here, CSUSM
and California life have become a part of her. She especially likes our campus and
environment. "I love it here
'cause it's small enough. If
I walk around on campus.
I see people that I've said
hi to before and eventually
it's easier to befriend them."
Despite this experience,
she's also realized that not
every student is as warm. "I
feel like American students
are not interested in foreign culture. They don't
care about internationals.
In Japan, we are interested in international students, unlike here... here
people don't care where
I 'm from," Furusawa said.
Nonetheless, she
admits
that she has been impressed
many times by locals and
their ability to talk to strangers, something that is not
done in Tokyo. "I feel like
people here are more kind.
They are caring of others."
It's hard to envision a life
without the people she has
come to know and love. "I
really, really like it here.
I've met so many people
from around the world.
I've made many American
friends," Furusawa said.
Overall, Furusawa is a
fun, loving and adventurous person. She is full of
life and laughter. There is no
one else like her, she can't
be replaced and because of
this, I 'm certain that she
will be dearly missed on
campus, especially by her
friends, the ones that have
become family. All these
experiences are memories
she will have and cherish
for many years to come.
Congratulations, Izumi!
Cheers to you and your
accomplishments!

Hugo Pinales is a graduating senior at CSUSM whose
work ethic shines through
in hisunbreakable and dedicated presence on campus.
Pinales is in his fifth year
at CSUSM and will be receiving his bachelor's degree in Communication with
a minor in Spanish. He is
currently the Student Building Lead for the University
Student Union and, during
his time at CSUSM, he has
also been involved with Orientation Team (OTeam), the
University Student Union
Activities Board, the Peer

"CSUSM has really helped
me grow as a human being
through my involvement and
my academics," said Pinales.
Through his hard work
and dedication, Pinales has
been able to make a longlasting impact on the campus
and his peers. "I hope that I
am able to inspire students
with different personalities
to take the risk and find a
special space on campus,"
he said. As graduation approaches, Pinales said that
there are many things he is
going to miss about CSUSM
and that he has been able
to learn so much from the

people who surround him.
"I am going to miss all the
staff, faculty and students
that have made my experience at CSUSM memorable, especially the staff and
students that I have [been]
able to work with at the University Student Union. They
have allowed me to gain new
and rewarding experiences
that have made me to be a
better leader at CSUSM," he
said. As a first generation
college student, Pinales explained that he is very proud
of himself for taking on
challenges and finally making it to graduation. When
asked who has inspired him
to achieve these goals, he
said he turned to his parents.
"My parents have always
been my inspiration. Yes, it
may sound cliché, but they
have been extremely supportive during my five years
at CSUSM. I see my parents
as risk takers at a young age
[because] they both came
to the US for a better liv-
ing. Through dedication
and a high work ethic, they
both became naturalized
citizens, fulfilling their number one goal," said Pinales.
"They have taken risks and
dealt with challenges in
life, but their passion and
hope to overcome these obstacles inspire me everyday to push forward with
my goals and aspirations."
Pinales also plans to continue achieving his goals by
continuing his education at
San Diego State University.
"I have accepted the offer to attend San Diego
State University for a twoyear graduate program to
receivé a Masters of Arts
in Postsecondary Educational Leadership with a
Specialization in Student Affairs. Also, I will be
working for SDSU Residential Education." Pinales will take his memories and experiences from
CSUSM and continue on
his journey towards success.

The Cougar Chronicle bids farewell to Video Editor
B Y B EULAH SUPRIYA
SENIOR S TAFF W RITER
As Cal State San Marcos
has finished with half of the
current semester, the ^eniors
are preparing for graduation,
one of whom is Raymond
Ravarra, the Cougar Chronicle's Video Editor for the fall
of 2014. As his time here in
Cal State is ending he shares
a few memories and lessons
he has learned along the way.
Ravarra has been at Cal
State for the past two years
studying a special major in
mass media and visual arts.
He came to work at the Cougar Chronicle as part of an internship. When asked about
the experience he said," the
people were great, I miss
them. The overall experience
was good and got to build relationships0. The reason for
choosing mass media was a

media especially videography. There was also a need in
the Church where he served
for a good videographer as
visual aids in this day and
age have become an important way to communicate to
people. He doesn't really feel
pressured to get a job that
will pay a lot of money as he
trusts the Lord will provide,.
Completing his final semester Ray Ravarra looks back
on the effort which brought
him to where he's at right
now, including a semester
in which he took 19 credits.
Giving some advice to others pursuing their degree
he said," Work hard and get
it done, don't lose focus of
what matters, we tend to define self by what we graduate
in or what job we are in but
can't find hope or contentment in that, seek something
you can find full satisfaction
in knowing that it will last."
With Graduation
approaching, Ray Ravarra
shares his future plans. He
plans on working as graphic designer, marrying his
girlfriend and later continuing his higher education
by joining The Westminster
seminary and eventually become a pastor. Now that this
chapter in his life is coming to an end, he is excited
about his new life ahead
and not having to climb
so many stairs each week!
We wish Ray the very best
in all his future endeavors.

The weird thing is that everyone seems to know about

popular they were. But the

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

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

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

until I was in middle school

I do have my doubts about
what it means to be a singer
sometimes. I love singing as
a hobby and occasional performances because I love the
music family that gets created in any ensemble I have
ever had the privilege to be a
part of. As a career, however,
I fear I will lose the love and
passion I have for music (it's a small doubt but
there). Nevertheless, I will
continue to do what I love.

have had the honor to watch
our university grow in size
and in numbers. I love this
school because we are constantly evolving. Our music department alone has
come a long way, with the
recent addition of a Music
Major coming this fall. Because our university is still
fairly young, we, as a community, have the privilege
to be a part of CSUSM history. In my five years here,
I have seen the SBSB building, the USU, the Veterans
Center, the Quad, the Health
Center, as well as many
other things come to life.
C C: What do you have in
plan for your postgraduate
future?
HG: I love music, I love
singing; it's my escape from
reality, my Zen; however
through my minors in Video
Production and Women's
Studies I have discovered
something empowering. The
power of media and how
that affects our society. In
high school, I always struggled with my body image, it
wasn't until I took my first
Women's Studies class that
I felt empowered to not feel
ashamed for not fitting the
beauty standards society has
structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently
that I decided to go back to
school next year to get my
Masters in Fine Arts and a
PhD in Gender or Women's
Studies, so that I can focus on
creating videos of some kind
to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is
my passion, but children are
our future. So I say why not
go back to school? Why not
make a difference? Why not?
C C: Is there anyone (or
a number of people) you
would like to thank or give
recognition?
HG: As a woman of faith
I 'd like to thank God. As
a first generation Latina to
graduate I 'd like to thank
my mom f or raising me as
a single mother, my sisters
for always pushing me to
keep going, my brother and

my studies. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

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

Rendall, Kyle, David, Chelsea, Audrey, but the list goes
on and on. I 'd just keep it
simple and say everyone,
because I truly am thankful
of everyone I 've met along
the way. And those people
should know who they are.

Being the
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
Spring is here, and with it gomes
sunny weather, allergies, and end-ofsemester f reak outs. In addition, the
season starts out with a holiday that
many people forget about until the last
minute: Earth Day. While some people
celebrate Earth Day only by telling
others that " It's Earth Day, you know,"
there are millions around the world
who celebrate Earth Day by spreading
awareness of the environment and sustainable living practices.
The original c gn|ept ^ f Earth p ay
coincided with the March equinox, to
mark the precise moment of astronomi-?
cal mid-spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and of astronomical mid-autumn in t | e Southern Hemisphere. An
equinox in astronomy is the moment
in time (not a whole day) - when the
center of the Sun can be observed to be
directly "above" the Earth's equator,
occurring around March 20 and Septeji||er 2 3each y ear.|i
In most cultures, the equinoxes and
solstices are considered to start or
separate the seasons. In ancient E gypr
and ancient Persia, the equinoxes

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

"Pollen allergy, commonly
An allergy reaction is the
called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a
false alarm, the immune system
reads an allergen as a foreign
containment in the body and thus
begins to attack it and causes
itchy eyes, a runny nose, and
often coughing and sneezing.
Researchers develop theories to
determine the leading source that
cause allergies, but a pin pointed
reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern
living, homes are very 'clean
and often have very little germs,
thus this ultra clean environment
never allows the immune system
to adapt and learn how tofightoff
airborne allergies because of the
lack of exposure.
The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered
a link between children whom
grew up with one or two cats or
dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study
revealed that the children were
less likely to develop allergies.
The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been
the contributing factor for an
allergy free life.
Another leading theory is
heredity.
"Children are more likely to
develop allergies if one or both
parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at
times when the body's defenses
are lowered or weakened, such as
after a viral infection or during
pregnancy, seems to contribute
to developing allergies," according to the NIAID.
In severe forms of allergies,
asthma is often connected. The
respiratory symptoms of asthma,
which affect approximately 11
million Americans, are often
provoked by airborne allergens,
according to NIAID.
So what is being done to help
aid this epidemic?
Many cleaning products are
taking action against this more
than common bother, by creating products that are allergen reducers, such as Fabreze®
Fabric Refresher™. The allergen
reducer claims to reduce more
than 75 percent of pollen and dust

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

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

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

D ale's Pale A le
A simple name but a powerful brew
BY JONATHAN
THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Oskar Blues Brewery
brews and cans Dale's
Pale Ale in Lyons, Colorado. The company
formed in 1997. Two years later,
the brewery became a brewpub.
The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer,
southern and Cajun styled food,
and live blues music. In 2002,
they claimed to have become the
first US microbrewery to can its
own beer. Employees hand-can
the beer inside a 60-year-old
barn.
BevMo retails six 12 fluid
ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans
are

a bright
red, blue,
white, and silver color.
The can looks like an
American flag. The
can pressurizes a brew
with a 6.5% alcohol by
volume. BevMo also
sells four other Oskar
Blues Brewery beers.
Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky
forming a menacing one-inch
thick head. The head resides
momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy.
The brew radiates a rich golden
amber hue* The bitter aroma
rising from the glass indicates
the heavy use of malts and hops.
The common name and the
simple guise of can-in-a-beer
does not do the beer justice.
The brew enters smooth before
a ravishing Jason Statham flying
round house kick double punch
assaults all areas of the mouth.
After the initial blow, the taste
buds recuperate only to ask for
more.
The boldness and thickness of
the beer should pair well with
heavy dinners such as steak and
potatoes with lots of dinner
rolls. Avoid consuming
the beer alone. Enjoy the
brew with anything, such
as chips or beef jerky,
to truly enjoy the beer's
courageous flavor.
As the essay and
exam dates stack up
stay focused, but take
a moment of relaxation and enjoy the
tasty Dale's Pale Ale.
Cheers!

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

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

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

recent years.

like contraband."
Radiohead also decided to
tour by bus rather than by plane
because just a three-hour flight
emits as much carbon dioxide as a
Hummer would in a year. What's
more, the buses and trucks used
by the bands and crew ran on biofuel.
Radiohead's merch website,
waste.uk.com, revolves around
western over-consumption. The
merchandise producers do everything they can to make products
that that have a minimal impact
on the environment. The newest
items are t-shirts for men and
women made out of recycled
plastic bottles and organic cotton.
There are even some "unbranded"
shirts for those of you who may

A neverending story
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Brian and I had found the canoe
on the beach and decided to take
it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We
had been wading earlier and found
that the water temperature was
quite warm. It was almost like
submerging into yourself, it was
hard to tell if you were actually
in the water. We had decided to
go rowing out along the shoreline
and see what was there. We rode
along quietly with nothing more
than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water,
we surprised several animals who
were basking along the edge of
the lake. As we came around one
bend, we came face to face with
a large bull moose who was busy
eating from the lush greenery at
the water's edge. He immediately
came to attention, alert to the
danger we presented. Snorting his
warning a couple times, he began
to make a move to charge us.
We had quickly and as quietly
as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come
to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet
separated us from the moose.
The shear size of him was breath
taking. Without conscious effort,
I became aware of the sound of
the insects and birds around us as
well as the heat of the sun raising
a prickly heat all over my skin. I
almost swatted a mosquito that
was gnawing at my forearm,
when I realize the moose was
watching my every movement
intently.
I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly."
I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not
to have the movement appear in
any way threatening. Slowly the
paddle moved forward through
the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of
the canoe. The heat seemed to
rise as the moose's breathing
caught mid-breath and he began
to move his ears impatiently, his
tail twitching side to side as his
nervousness looked for an outlet.
A second stroke of the paddle
brought little more movement
than the first. We seemed to be
moving away by centimeters,
more as a result of the wind and
current than our paddling. A third
and fourth stroke was giving us a
slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think
we had successfully pulled it off,
the moose charged. He covered
the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed
was breathtaking, time seemed
to slow to the point of stopping.
I watched the water give way to
his feet, slowly spraying up into
the air. I yelled and back paddled
as hard as I could, but to no avail
as the moose dipped his head,
bringing his large rack to bear on
the bow of the canoe.
The canoe shuddered under

into the air with apparent easy
of a leaf being picked up by
the wind. Brian and I were
launched into the air and over
the side as the canoe came to
rest a short way from us. The
moose seemed satisfied that he
had dispensed the danger and
turned to wander off into the
woods. We swam to the canoe
and after a brief inspection,
realized it was not functional.
We grabbed onto the debris
and just floated along. The
breeze was picking up and
pushing us further away from
the shore. It was also getting
dark - rapidly. Here in the
mountains, the sun seemed to
almost switch off like a light
switch. I could no longer tell
which way the shore was. The
warm water was as comforting as a warm snuggly blanket and I began to doze off. I
began to listen to the rush of
blood through my ears. My
mind began to hallucinate,
losing its grip on reality. It
was telling me that everything
was ok and I should relax and
let go. I drifted down into the
quiet warm darkness. I never
felt so safe and secure. I felt

be a great teaijerker.
I do not have the same hope for
the other twofilmsin wide release

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

Month Panel
Discussion
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
In celebration of Asian
Pacific Heritage Month, a select
panel
discussion
called
“Reflecting on the Chinese
Experience in America: An
Update,” was held to discuss
various experiences linked with
Asian culture in America and
continuing Asian stereotypes.
The panel was hosted by Liter
ature and Writing Studies pro
fessor Dr. Susie Lan Cassel
Tuesday, May 14.
The six guest panel speak
ers were all contributed to a
recently published collection of
professional essays called “The
Chinese in America: A His
tory from Gold Mountain to
the New Millennium.” The
book consists of 24 essays that
survey 150 years of Chinese
immigration to North Amer
ica. “These essays contribute
new knowledge about the Chi
nese experience in America,”
Cassel said.
After some discussion, the
panel presented a short slide

included one of the now infa

featuring two Chinese laundry
workers with pointed hats and
the slogan, “Wong Brothers

Can Make It White.” Accord-,
ing to the Korea Herald, the
shirts were pulled from stores
a month ago after the Organi
zation of Chinese Americans
complained that the designs are
racially insensitive. “After 150
years, how much has changed?”
Cassel asked the audience.
Preceding the slide show,
panel members discussed the
contributions they made to the
book, their experiences, beliefs,
accomplishments and current
projects.
The first speaker was Judith

CAPI Conference Brings Local Faculty
and CSUSM Together
By MARTHA SARABIA
News Editor
The Collaborative Academic
Preparation Initiative (CAPI)
conference brought together
about 125 faculty members from
local middle schools, high
schools and local universities,
including Cal State San Marcos,
at its annual conference Friday,
May 17. Many Cal State San
Marcos’ students attended,
included those enrolled in Dr.
Robin Keehn’s Literature and
Writing 525 class, which is
geared toward the theory and
practice of teaching college-level
writing.
CAPI isr a partnership
between CSUSM and area high
schools. The focus of this partner
ship, effectively CAPI’s mission
statement, is “to strengthen the
mathematics and English prep
aration of college-bound highschool students.”
The conference was divided
•between English workshops and
and mathematics workshops.
Both disciplines held workshops
separately and the entire group
only reconvened during lunch
time.
Dr. Dawn M. Formo, a
CSUSM associate professor of
Literature and Writing Studies
and an associate CAPI director,
said, “It’s a way to strengthen
the gap between middle schools
to college.” She added, “It’s just
another piece of that puzzle to-
fill those gaps.”
The conference, which is held
at least once every year, is dif
ferent each time. Last year’s con
ference included students from
three different levels of educa
tion, but this time only faculty
members from the middle and
secondary schools were part of
the conference, with student
representation limited to under
grad and graduate students of
CSUSM.
“For this conference, we
invited faculty high school and
we have now broadened it to
middle school, community col
leges and the UC, everyone in
our service area. So, that is North

Students and Community Organizations
Enjoy Their Small Press Publishing Fair
By Melanie Addington
Arts Editor
Literature 318 students dis
played their semester-long workwriting and publishing projects
for local non-profit organizations,
including Fraternity House Inc.,
a provider of residential facilities
for AIDS patients at their annual
Small Press Publishing Fair on
Monday, May 20. Some students
chose more personal publishing
projects, like putting together a
family cookbook.
“Through Small Press, I met
the not-for-profit world, and I like
it* After graduation, I hope to
work as a grant writer for a non
profit organization,” said Susie
Shattuck, a Literature major who
took the course for the second
time. Small Press students have
the option of taking the course
for two semesters and a total of
six credits.
Literature 318, Small Press
Publishing, is a practical course
in developing, writing, soliciting
copy for, editing, designing and
printing a variety of publications
(including journals, newsletters,
and manuals) for print and the
Web, according to 318’s profes
sor, Dr. Madeleine Marshall.
“In my experience, realworld writing is very different
from academic writing. It’s
always relational, usually col
laborative, and generally highpressure. Academic writing is a
gentler species, essentially per
sonal, reflective, controlled. We
do real-world writing in 318,”
Marshall said.
“The rewards are different,
too. Maybe you get the contract

A: The name. Ahhh, yes,
the name. Many people have
told us that the name is con
fusing at first, but then after
contemplation of it, they are
pleasantly satisfied. The name

visual representation in order to
convey a dual meaning, much
like the nature of the submis
sions and context of the publi

had. Maybe you persuade some
body to care or to help or to enlist
other people to care or to help,”
Marshall said.
At the publications fair, stu
dents and non-profit organiza
tions mingled while looking over
the final projects.
“Small Press Publishing was ,
one of the most enjoyable and
useful classes I took at the Uni
versity. OK, it was a lot of work
tQo! But I learned so much,
including the practical skills of
writing for different audiences,
editing on the fly, and designing
eye-catching layouts for publica
tions. I also acquired less tangible
abilities, such as how to help non
profit organizations with their
serious time, talent, and budget
restrictions,” Shattuck said.
During the semester, guest
specialists spoke on a variety
of topics, including software
options, font design, principles of
layout and grant writing for non
profit organizations. One such
specialist was CSUSM alumnus,
Roman Koenig, who spoke about
“Design and the Real World,”
particularly in relation to his now
defunct newspaper, The North
County Current. Koenig began
his design work as a student at
CSUSM when he was editor of
The Pride.

Library Construction
M oving Forward
By JESSICA KRQNE
Pride Staff Writer
Construction for the new
library is on schedule and admin
istrators plan to have the doors
open for students, staff and fac
ulty in time for the 2003 fall
semester. The Planning Design
and Construction department is
involved in this project and one
of its visions is to be committed
to managing and monitoring
construction efforts in a timely
and efficient manner.
“There is one person devoted
to the library construction
budget,” said Dr. Stephen Garcia,
chief financial officer and Vice
president for Finance and
Administrative Services at
CSUSM. The base bid for con
struction costs is $34,781,000,
according to Garcia. Two alter
nate amounts for additions to
the library have been added,
which includes costs for extra
reading rooms and balconies,
resulting in a total approximate
budget of $35,240,000 accord
ing to Garcia.
Cal State San Marcos
receives the majority of its fund
ing from the State of California,
not to mention a minimal por
tion that comes from donations.
The state has already paid
approximately $13,861,000 and
further payments are commit
ted to Morley Construction, as
each separate phase is com
pleted, according to Garcia.
The budget also includes a
contingency budget for unfore
seen emergencies and issues that
might occur. “We have always
maintained an adequate contin
gency and are not over spent by
any means,” said Garcia. “The
budget is monitored very closely.
We try not to put ourselves in
the position to overspend.”
Like any construction proj
ect, obstacles have arisen, but
they have been minimal. “There
were concerns with the final
design and details related to the
structural framework, which will
require a little more time,” said
Dave Dennis, assistant director
of construction. According to
the Library March 2002 update,
“the project is considered eight
weeks behind schedule because
of the delays to structural steel
related to the final resolution of
the seismic peer review com
ments. Options to improve the
schedule are being assessed and
may include Saturday work for
field erection.” As a result, the
scheduled construction comple
tion date is July of 2003, having
originally been slated for com
pletion in May of 2003. The
scheduled opening date “has not
been changed and is still within
the schedule timeline,” Dennis
said.

�Study: Four-year
Graduation Not the
Norm
By DAVID YANAGI
Pride Staff Writer
Less than a quarter of all
college students graduate in four
years, according to a recent study
sponsored by The American
Council on Education (ACE),
which is made up of more
than 1,800 colleges, universities
and higher education groups.
ACE presented its findings on
college students last week in a
report entitled, ‘Access & Per
sistence.”
ACE based its report on sev
eral federal research projects
tracking students for the past
decade. The study differs from
previous information-gathering
studies, because it takes “student
persistence” into account by fol
lowing the roughly 20 percent of
students who transfer from their
original institution and complete
their degrees elsewhere. Most
students, who leave college for
financial, personal, or educa
tional reasons, return sometime
in the following six years. Those
who stay enrolled at the school
where they began and earn a
degree within five years make
up less than half of students.
Other research findings from
the ACE study:
—Traditional students who
come straight from high school
and attend full-time, with their
parents paying tuition costs,
make up 40 percent of under
graduates.
—
College students are
diverse: 55 percent are women,
30 percent are minorities and
20 percent are foreign-born or
children of immigrants. Students
who grew up speaking a lan
guage other than English make
up li percent.
— challenging high-school
A
curriculum increases a student’s
likelihood of attending college,
as does having parents* with
higher levels of education.
—Regardless of family back
ground, employment prospects
for those who earn four-year
degrees are about the same.
The extra time most students
are taking to graduate may limit
the enrollment of new, incom
ing students. Many colleges have
responded to slower graduation
rates by offering more counsel
ing and tuition discounts.

Today at 10 a.m. on Lot “O,” the groundbreaking celebration for student housing took place.
The $28-million project will house 460 students, with additional accommodations for resident assis
tants, faculty and a facility manager. Each unit is built as an apartment, with its own dining area and
kitchen and between 1,000 and 1,100 square feet. Each building has community meeting rooms and
lounge areas. Each room will have high-speed Internet connections, and each unit will have a telephone
and cable television. There will also be a commons building with a classroom, a student lounge with a
catering kitchen and an outdoor amphitheatre. The project is scheduled for completion and occupancy
in Fall 2003.
Three Cal State San Marcos students won top honors at the 16th annual California State Uni
versity Student Research Competition, hosted May 3 and 4 by CSU Long Beach. More than 150
students from 22 campuses participated. Kathleen Warmoth, a second-year graduate student in psy
chology, took first place among graduate- students in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology)
category for her research project titled “Potential role for NMDA receptors in opiate induced behavioral
plasticity.” Ian Mendez placed second in the same category as Warmoth with his project, “The NMDA
receptor antagonist MK-uOl inhibits tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia.” Mendez is in his first
year of the psychology master’s program. Chris Shriver, a senior, placed first among undergraduates
in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (Psychology) category, for her research project titled “Implicit
connections with nature.” Shriver, who lives in Valley Center, has been working with faculty advisor
Wesley Schultz, professor of psychology, to develop implicit measures for examining people’s attitudes
about the environment. The winners were recognized at a banquet in Long Beach on May 4 and Will
receive cash awards at a later date.
Cal State San Marcos Adjusts Summer Work Hours in order to save energy. Effective Monday,
June 3 through Thursday, Aug. 22,2002, campus operations will shift to four 10-hour days, Monday
through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Summer session classes have been scheduled Monday through
Thursday only. No Friday classes will be held. There are some exceptions to the Friday through Sunday
closure: ELM/EPT testing will be held on June 22 and on July 27, the MBA program will hold classes
onJSaturdays for three groups of students, continuing a schedule that was arranged when the students
began their degree programs, and the Fourth Annual San Diego Summer Leadership Institute, spon
sored by the College of Education and scheduled Thursday, July 18 through Saturday, July 20, will
be held as announced. The regular five-day-per-week work schedule will resume Monday, August 26,
2002.
Graduation at Del Mar Fairgrounds. As of May 14, there are 2,058 candidates for graduation.
There are 1,358 undergraduates, 655 of which are expected to walk at 9:00 a.m. on June 1; 703 students
will walk at 1:00 p.m., and 192 graduates and 508 teacher credential candidates (700 total), will walk
in tiie 5:00 p.m. ceremony. “Not everyone shows up, so the numbers will be a little bit smaller,” said
Carmen Villa, Logistics Planning chair. The expected guest range is between 5,000 and 8,000, in addi
tion to graduates. If you missed the informational meeting last Saturday, please contact Carmen Villa,

Re: THE TRUTH
Good Morning Chancellor Reed:
As previously stated, I went to my alleged supervisor in late 1992, concerning a very serious
problem in the warehouse. Without leaving his chair, and refusing eye contact, he denied
there was a problem, I repeatedly went to him for help with this very serious problem
and he repeatedly denied (always without eye contact), that there was a problem as the
problem grew worse. I went to other management-type staff members and without a full
investigation, they also denied that the problem existed, as said problem increased. Each
denial implied that I was lying, Chancellor Reed. I feel now is the time to find out who is
and who isn’t lying. Therefore, I respectfully request that you arrange a group polygraph
exam for each of us involved in this very preventable brouhaha. Said exam to be given at the
Escondido Center for the Arts, with the public and especially the video press invited, also as
many non-management staff members as can be released.
There will be no back-stabbing as was done to me on 8/17/92. No sucker punches as was
given to me on a daily basis starting on 8/20/92 to present, until I was given them to myself.
No, Chancellor Reed, the questions have already been asked, the facts (ie - the truth) have
already been stated and denied. Now let the POLYGRAPH DECIDE.
My alleged supervisor, in late 1992, ordered me to make a list. In other words, spy on
another employee. This list will not be a few items, Chancellor Reed, nor a few dozen,
but rather hundreds of items to which I will attest under full polygraph exam, in full
public view.
I would like to put closure to this very preventable brouhaha and at the same time get
my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), caused by work-related stress, under control, and look
forward to working with you on the same. Thanks in advance,

APSS Fashion Show Honors Asian-American Month
By SHERRITA COBBS
Pride Staff Writer
In celebration of Asian Amer
ican Month, the Asian Pacific
Student Society (APSS) orga
nized an extraordinary event that
had crowds coming in droves to
see where all the commotion and
music was coming from. APSS
is a newly charted group on this
campus that chose to introduce
itself to the campus community
in style - literally. On Wednesday,
APSS held a fashion show and
art expo in the mezzanine level
of the Cal State San Marcos Uni
versity campus, which displayed
fashions influenced by different
cultures within the Asian com
munity, as well as
a few noted fash
ions from the
African commu
nity. This was a
fun-filled event
equipped with friendly gimmicks
for crowd participation, includ
ing prizes and giveaways. The
prizes ranged from three pairs
of AMC movie tickets, golf.balls
and flashlights, to red roses with
silk thongs wrapped around the
stems.
The fashion shows featured
original dress designs from tradi
tional Korean Dress, Philippine
Dress, and Chinese traditional
style, exposing the campus com
munity to the different flavor of
Asian history and culture through
style. And the message was well
received. The beauty of the tra
ditional garment styles was over
whelming, but they did not stop
there. In the second half of
the show, APSS featured a new
Asian-American female clothing
designer, whose designs are
known as Tuff Girl. Tuff Girl
sashayed her sexy street designs,
like basic Capris, or chino-style
pants with lace and eccentric pat
terns.
“What is fashion without

surprise. Aside from the groovy

ground, making heads bob from

entertained by guest vocalist
Leslie Roister, who is a senior at
Chula Vista High School.
When asked about her aspi
rations, Roister said, “Whitney
Houston and the late Aaliyah
Houghton inspire me to want to
sing. I have been singing since
I was three and it is the only
thing that I have ever wanted to
do since.” Spoken like a true star.
Also in attendance was Evolution,
a dance team from the UC Riv
erside Chinese Student Asso
ciation, and Down

band that has recently
been awarded the San
Diego Music Award
for the best hip-hop

anchor, Lee Ann Kim
from San Diego
KGTV Channel 10
News was the key
note speaker. Her
speech addressed the
elements of selfawareness, cultural
responsibility, selflove, culture appreci
ation, and lastly, the
need for increased
motivation in self and
culture. Kim waited
after her speech to
discuss internships
being offered by her
network and answered
any questions students
had about journalism,
c om mu nic at ion s,
and/or media in general. “I
left feeling really encouraged,
because she told it like it is. She
is so real,” said Chris Strong, a
junior majoring in Liberal Stud
ies.
When asked why one should
celebrate Asian History Month,
Kim said, “Asian Americans cel
ebrate to find themselves and
learn more about self. Self-aware
ness is crucial to the development

and strength of our community.
Also, self-awareness [helps one]
define who they are. Lastly, cel
ebrating Asian History Month
makes others aware of the many
different cultures and languages
within the Asian American com
munity.”
This was APSS’s first event
on our campus. “The Asian
Pacific Student Society (APSS)
is a cultural organization at Cal
State San Marcos. The purpose of
APSS is to promote Asian Pacific
American awareness, unity and
diversity among the entire stu
dent body. APSS is a voice in
which students of all ethnicity
and creeds may express their
views, thoughts, and ideas about
any matter pertaining to the stu
dents at CSUSM,” said James
Nguyen, president of APSS.

"P-Diddy & Bad Boy Records—We i

By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
Although Destiny’s Child,
Limp Bizkit, and Mariah Carey
may have been part of the grow
ing list of artists that have
released remix albums, P-Diddy
and Bad Boy Records have
launched a compilation not only
to be added to this list, but also
to proclaim that they’ve invented
the remix.
In the intro of this 14-track W E I NVENT! b THE
CD compilation, P-Diddy states
that his team produced its first
remix of Jodeci’s “Come And
Talk To Me” in 1991, and since
then, they’ve continued to remix
and conduct collaborations with
other artist V thus declaring that
they created the remix.

“ICONS--Naughty By Nature”
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
In the early 90’S, Naughty
By Nature had party people
everywhere chanting “OPP” and
waving their hands in the air
to “Hip Hop Hooray.” Presently,
these party rockers are back
with* their latest album release
to define what it means to be
“ICONS.”
Naughty By Nature, which
consists of Treach and Vinnie,
continue to utilize their partyjam formula, with a 14-track CD
that not only represents their tra
ditional music styles, but also
demonstrates their ability to be
versatile along with the added
influences they’ve acquired over
the years, making this album
worth a listen.
What you can expect from
this album are several
head bobbing party
anthems, like their
debut single “It Feels
Good,” which features
3LW and their current single,
“What You Gonna Do” featuring Pink. In addition, with
cameo appearances by Redman,
Method Man, Queen Latifah, Lil
Jon, Carl Thomas, and more, this
album allows you to explore a
twisted collaboration of hip hop
smoothed out on an R&B tip
with a dirty south bounce appeal
to it.
Some highlights to take note
of are “What You Wanna Do,”
featuring Pink, “Swing Swang,”
and “Red Light” featuring Queen
Latifah.
Remember, Naughty By
Nature is no
stranger to the
music
game.
They’ve survived
hip hop’s dishon
orable stereotypes for short-lived
careers, big singles, and one-hit
wonders by producing over six
chart-topping party anthems over
a decade-long period, which
helped mark and shape hip hop
at the floor front.
Thus, this album is no excep
tion and will prove that they
are truly “ICONS”: a person or
thing that is uncritically adored,
revered or admired, or is regarded
as a symbol of a particular cul
ture or sphere, an idol.

�S o m e P e o p ie
By ERIK ROPER
For The Pride
Recently I wrote an opinion
piece for The Pride entitled,
“German Instructor (and stu
dents) DISSED.” My primary
basis for making this claim is
the FACT, that Cal State San
Marcos’ one and only instructor
of German language courses,
Frau Ronke (her first name is
Astrid; Frau is how German stu
dents would traditionally address
a female instructor), was being
let go in a most disrespectful,
discourteous, and highly unpro
fessional manner. She is being
replaced. And while that, in and
of itself, is a situation worthy
of public outcry (because she is
commonly thought of by her stu
dents as an outstanding and inspi
rational instructor) it was not the
main reason I was upset enough
to write an article about it. What
I was most annoyed by was
the unprofessional manner with
which she is being let go.
(..J feel like I’m going to
have to explain the situation all
over again to make people under
stand - which sucks because I
hate to repeat myself - but unfor
tunately it seems that’s what I’m
going to have to do because it
seems some people still just don’t
get it...)
This is how it went down .
. . I was sitting in my German
102 class one day shortly after
the Summer/Fall 2002 schedules
came out. It was a few minutes
until class was supposed to start*
Frau Ronke was getting herself
organized at the table up front. A
student walked in with aforesaid
schedule in hand and basically
asked Ronke who was the person
that was listed in the schedule
as being the German instructor
for fall, because it was the only
name listed as teaching the two
German classes offered in the
fall. The name of the person listed
as teaching German next semes
ter is,Hughes. Ronke had no idea
who Hughes was (FACT.) No one
from the World Languages Dept,
(read: her supervisors) had talked
to her about being replaced by
anyone named Hughes (FACT and until yesterday, May 15,
there had still been no official
contact with Ronke on this issue
from CSUSM’s Dept, of World
Languages.) Instead, she learned
this sensitive information (I’ll
wager that losing your job is a
sensitive subject with most folks)
from her students. How @#$%ed
up is that?
Please, just stop for a second
and consider this. CSUSM class
schedules are not developed arid
printed overnight. From the time
the course schedule planners start
planning away our future classes,
it takes weeks of planning and
revisions (I’m assuming this
based on how slowly most large
bureaucracies typically function),
not to mention the completion of
the printing and shipping pro
cesses, before those schedules
are available to us in the student
store. What this all means with
regard to Ronke’s situation is
that her supervisors in the Dept,
of World Languages must have
known, for a significant amount
of time, that they had already
decided to replace her with this
Hughes person, and they simply
chose not to tell her about it. In
other words, Ronke got DISSED
(I use, DISSED, instead of disre
spected, intentionally because I
feel the latter word is too polite
and doesn’t adequately convey the
true level of, for lack of a better
word, disrespect involved).
Although it’s apecdotal infor
mation, it’s a FACT that every,
person I’ve talked with about this
situation agrees that Ronke got
brutally DISSED. Those same
people also agree that regardless
of the FACT that she’s being
canned, there’s a certain way
people should be treated in pro
fessional working relationships.
If someone is going to be let go
from a job, however ill-advised
that dismissal may be, it is a
generally accepted aspect of the
unwritten social contract of civ
ilized conduct that we all are
obliged to adhere to, that this
soon-to-be-unemployed person
should be notified beforehand by
their employer as soon as that
employer knows for sure that
they are going to fire that person.
Nobody told Ronke what was in
store for her. And still, to this day,
there has been no official com
munication with Ronke about
her impending release. Unless
one counts having the humilia
tion of Ronke’s dismissal being
announced to her entire class of
students out of the course sched
ule as official communication. If
one can accept that, then there’s
really very little for me to pro
test. But, public sentiment tells
me otherwise. Public sentiment
tells me to protest this injustice.
Public sentiment agrees that what
has happened is unacceptable.
But apparently there is a small
minority of people who still don’t
understand this simple truth and
who still, simply, just don’t get
it.
Professor Stella T. Clark has
distinguished herself as one of
these people. In last week’s edi
tion of The Pride, Prof. Clark
wrote a rebuttal.that seemed to
be directed toward my earlier
opinion piece, German Instruc
tor (and students) DISSED. But
I can’t be exactly sure because
she didn’t address my piece spe
cifically. Instead she wrote, “...I
must express my disappointment
at The Pride's publication and
placement of two recent pieces
regarding the Dept, of World
Languages and Hispanic Litera
tures.” She went on to say, “...I do
not wish to respond to the indi
Just
D o n ’ t G et
vidual pieces but merely to point
out a few facts, especially for
your student readers:” Then, like
an ardent defender of the status
quo, Clark spent four paragraphs
regurgitating the institutional
policy regarding what kind of
degree one needs to have, to attain
a tenured position in the Dept,
of World Languages (Ph.D.) and
that the reason such a degree is
required by the Dept, of World
Languages is because its “..par
amount concern [is] the highest
quality education for our stu
dents” (Ronke only has a master’s
- but is going to be working on
earning her Ph.D. this summer in
Germany). Apparently, instruc
tors with Ph.D.s offer a higher
quality education to their stu
dents because, “...unlike adjunct
faculty* [they] are consistently
and systematically reviewed by
peers on their teaching, plus their
scholarship, research and/or cre
ative activity, and service to the
university and the community.”
OOOOHHH, OK, now I get
it. So, let me get this straight,
we’re firing Ronke because she
doesn’t have a Ph D, right? Right.
And we’re hiring a PhD. to
replace her, right? Right. OK, so
far I’m trackin’. But wait, I must
be a little slow because I can’t
seem to understand how this offi-.
cial policy-based justification of
Ronke’s release makes any sense
when one considers that the Dept,
of World Languages is planning
to allow T.A.s (read: grad stu
dents) to teach lower-level Span
ish courses next Fall (FACT public knowledge); especially in
light of the fact that next semester
the only German classes being
offered are 101 & 20L Maybe
I don’t understand this because
my brain isn’t getting enough
oxygen. Maybe my brain isn’t
getting enough oxygen because
I’m drowning in the hypocrisy
disseminated by Prof. Clark and
the Dept, of World Languages.
Please, someone, throw me a life
preserver!
I would not object to Ronke’s
being let go if the Dept.’s selfproclaimed policy of being dedi
cated to hiring Ph.D.s was strictly
adhered to. Obviously that is a
policy that is adhered to only
when it suits the Dept, of World
Languages.
BUT! Regardless of this
hypocrisy, inequity and injustice,
Prof. Clark’s rebuttal still com
pletely failed to address the crit
ical element of this fiasco. That
being, why wasn’t Ronke noti
fied of her impending dismissal
through official channels? I hate
to use this word, but what has
been done to Ronke is truly scan
dalous.
Clark objected to these two
opinion pieces because in her
opinion, these two pieces (if
someone knows the other recent
opinion piece she’s ^referring to,
please, let me know) were placed
in The Pride to facilitate, “..the
dissemination of gossip and
insulting remarks.” Yet, she
doesn’t see fit to point out exactly
what language in either of these
two pieces should be considered
gossip and/or insulting remarks.
If my telling of the truth hurts
someone’s feelings, or if my tell
ing the truth is deemed by some
one as gossip-mongering, or if
someone feels insulted by the
truth I’ve told, then they should
speak up and tell everyone at
CSUSM exactly what was said
in my article that was not true,
what was gossip, and/or what was
insulting. By failing to document
the basis of her grievances, Prof.
Clark has engaged in “poor jour
nalistic practices,” has failed to
best serve her own interests in
establishing the validity 6f her
assertions, or the best interests
of readers of The Pride. Fur
thermore, I feel her refusal to
openly challenge anyone specifi
cally is unseemly and smacks of
condescension. Condescension,
because, by not acknowledging
whom she’s directing her retort
toward, she implies that the indi
viduals who wrote the opinion
pieces she’s rebutting are not
worthy of her esteemed recog
nition. Apparently, the. opinions
of a professor inherently carry
more weight than those of obvi
ously misinformed students (who
only saw Ronke get DISSED with
their own eyes) and so don’t need
to be supported by sound, “jour
nalistic practices,” as Prof. Clark
herself likes to say.
Indeed, Prof. Clark is so adatnant that The Pride adhere to
strictly sound journalistic prac
tices that she said, “The opinion
page is a forum for the paper’s
views but I assume that the latter
are founded on a thoughtful,
fair process based on facts and
research.” Actually, this would
be an incorrect assumption. The
opinion page is a forum for the
views of the readers of The Pride,
and to a lesser extent, its staff. It
is also incorrect of Prof. Clark to
assume that sound “journalistic
practices” (i.e., researching what
is being written about) are neces
sary to any piece submitted to the
opinion page of The Pride. That’s
why it’s called an opinion page.
Prof. Clark went on to decry
the”... poor journalistic practices
of your (read: The Pride’ ) writ
s
ers. More importantly, as the
paper of the university where I
have taught since it opened to
students, [I hope] that The Pride
will stay true to its name and
set a better example as to what
it means to exercise free speech
responsibly and judiciously.” ,
For the record, I am not a
writer for The Pride on a regular
basis. Even if I were, though, it
would be absurd of Prof. Clark
to assert that what I’ve said is
not true, and that what I’ve said
is merely gossip and baseless
It
insults, if she wasn’t prepared to
offer up her own contrary facts
that spoke to the main point of the
matter. Secondly, Prof. Clark’s
rebuttal was a baseless, toothless,
and largely irrelevant attempt to
defend the indefensible wrong
that has been committed against
Ronke. She attempted to do this
by distracting readers of The
Pride by skirting around the
main issue (the FACT that not
one of her supervisors ever told
Ronke she was being replaced),
and only attempted to deal with
the secondary issue of Ronke’s
dismissal by hiding behind some
policy that reveals itself to be
hypocritical upon closer scrutiny
(as in the FACT that T.A.S will
teach lower-level Spanish next
Fall).
So please Prof. Clark, tell
us, how can you advocate that
The Pride exercise free speech
more responsibly and judiciously
when you yourself haven’t writ
ten a Very responsible and judi
cious opinion piece?
The students forced to
suffer the whims of the Dept, of
World Languages may not have
Ph.D.s, hut we are not fools who
can be so easily hoodwinked by
nonsensical patronizing dogma
like the letter that was submitted
by Prof.- Clark. We can read
between the lines. We can rec
ognize bureaucratic doublespeak
when we see it.
When we ask, “Why wasn’t
Ronke notified of her impending
dismissal?” and all we get in
response is something akin to
what Prof. Clark wrote, which
doesn’t even attempt to answer
that very important question,
immediately we smell something
rotten in the state of the Dept,
of World Languages. As long as
the supervisors of the Dept, of*
World Languages insist on not
being completely honest with
the students of CSUSM and
Ronke, I’ll continue to harbor
just as much contempt for them
as they’ve demonstrated towards
Ronke, her students, and all the
students of CSUSM. If this means
I won’t be able to take German
and Spanish classes here any
more, then so be it. The amount
of courses offered in these spe
cialties is an insult to the students
of CSUSM, anyway.
Before you leave for sumirier,
if you’re so inclined, please feel
free to tell me how right or wrong
I am by-sending an email to,
toper004@csusm.edu. Also, if
you’ve ever taken German with
Frau Ronke and you see her walk
ing by, let her know she’s got
your moral support. I know she’ll
appreciate it, as will all the stu
dents in her German classes. (The
Pride editors concur with Rop
er’s statement that the opinion
page voices the opinions of indi
viduals, not the staff, as stated on
the opinion page in every issue.)

Taking Initiative: CSUSM Students Will Go Far
By AMANDA WOLFE
For The Pride
Today was an amazing day.
I realized for the first time, I
mean really realized, like down
to my toes, that one person CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Now,
of course, like every one of you
I have heard this saying many
times before. I have heard it from
primary school teachers, history
books, counselors and the pro
fessors at this university, but not
until today has it meant so much
to ine. Today it rang clear in my
world that people who put their
minds toward a purpose CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I went ,to the Environmental
Club meeting this afternoon, the
last meeting of the semester, my
last meeting. I will be graduat
ing this semester. Today, we got a
report from a girl who had come
to the club meeting a couple of
weeks ago to ask for advice in
solving a problem she had with
her work. When she came in she
was still in shock from her last
work experience, relaying to us
that the bar where she worked
did not recycle. In fact, they had
discouraged her from recycling
when she made a personal effort.
We, just being students, did not
know the quick and easy answer
to her problem. Obviously, she
did not want to lose her job over
the matter, but the dissidence in
her mind was growing. We all
sat together and talked the issue
over, trying to find some possible
solutions.
We deduced it down to a
simple point of reason that if all
of the employees felt that it was
important that the company recy
cled, the employees as a whole,
could pressure the company to do
so. We promised to support her
in any way we could with infor
mation from some of our class
reports. She was grateful, and
said she would keep us updated.
Two weeks later, she told one
of our members that the staff
was in agreement that the com
pany should recycle, and they
collectively chose a representa
tive to speak at the next mana
gerial meeting, and he would not
take no for an answer.
This was an inspiring
moment for me. You never know
what people are really capable
of doing until they step up to
the plate. This young girl, only
a sophomore, has already proven
herself to be an advocate for
common sense. The Environ
mental Club would like to take
their hats off to Jessica Marroquin for her initiative.
As the former president and
CEO of a company in which I was
a major stockholder, my perspec
tive on the controversy surround
ing the dismissal / departure of
Frau Ronke from her teaching
position at Cal State San Marcos
is different from the average stu
dent’s. I was very supportive of
the establishment of a state uni
versity in the North San Diego
County and pleased when it
finally received approval.
I am taking my third semes
ter of German through the Open
University program for people
over 65. These are the first lan
guage courses I’ve taken since
high school, 55 years ago, and
my first college courses in about
40 years. In general, my expe
rience has been a very positive
one. I have found my instructor,
Astrid Ronke, to be enthusiastic
in her presentation of the class
work, and the students in my
class to be responsive to her.
It’s my understanding that
many of the students in the first
two semesters were taking the
classes to fulfill a mandatory lan
guage requirement. That still did
not seem to result in a lack of
interest in our class, and I believe
that was due largely to Ms. Ronke’s stimulus, in the way she
involved students in the course
work and in the extracurricular
activities of the German Club.
As a former company executive, I must agree that any
company and in this case, the
communication with employees
and for supervisory personnel to
keep everyone ‘in the loop’ as to
what is going on in the organiza-
of 2002. The fact that she found
the information out in a class
room from.Qile of her students,
who looked at a published class
schedule, is completely unac
ceptable by any personnel man
agement standards and is a sad
reflection on the language department, its supervisory personnel
and the entire administrative staff
of the university. There is no
excuse for such behavior on the
part of people who are employed
to educate the young people of
our community.
Letter to the Editor
university, must have standards,
which are used to hire and retain
personnel. However, I also know
that it is important to hire and
retain capable people and often
those who are most capable are
not always those with “creden
tials.” It is also extremely impor
tant to maintain open lines of
grammar and length. Letters should be
submitted via electronic mail to The Pride

You Care, Can You Do?
By RICHIE MANN
For the Pride
Is there a dearth,
of caring on earth?
It’s not so.
But do people know,
That help comes so slow,
The planet could die, before we even try?
I think so.
Will you meet with me,
And your feelings give?
About helping our planet, so it can live?
I hope so.
Today can you bring into life one solution,
That lights our houses, yet lessens pollution,
That needs no oil, in a Green-Car Revolution?
I know so.
Please join the Environmental Club,
Or any group that helps this Place,
Be in the loop. Join the race,
Please do so.
�Men’s Soccer Tryouts Start Friday
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
With the spring semester
coming to an end, the Cal State
San Marcos Men’s Soccer Club is
starting up again. Beginning its
third official season in Septem
ber, the team has high hopes.
“We took third last year and
this year we’re hoping to take
it all,” said Coach Khalid AlShafie. The team had a record of
5-5-1 last year and is hoping that
this year its record will improve.
According to coach AlShafie, “We’d like to have at least
18-20 players this year.” When
asked what they’re looking for
in players, Antonio Zepeda Jr,
founder of the club, said. “Expe
rience.”^Coach Al-Shafie added,
“We’re looking for a high level of
experience. Hopefully club level
or even college level.” One thing
that was added as a necessity
for the new players was, “Disci
pline.”
The team is looking to play
a minimum of 12 games for the
upcoming season, and is hoping
for at least eight of the games to
be at home.
The team practices on Fri
days from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
with the next three practices con
sisting of tryouts. “We want to
see what [the newcomers] are
made of. It’ll give us a chance to
see the skill level,” said coach AlShafie. The team will continue
to practice on Friday throughout
the summer, with an additional
day of practice still undecided.
The team has six seniors who
will be graduating next year.
Once they graduate, the new
comers to the team will have
to keep the team solid for the
coming years. The team, now
a club, will hopefully become
an official “sport” soon. With
the building of The Clark Field
House, the team will have the
proper facilities and by then, they
hope to have the commitment of
the college.
For more information, con
tact the Associated Student Inc.
office, Commons 203, or call
760-750-4990. Also, students
interested in joining can call or
contact either coach Al-Shafie at
760-758-1580 or email Antonio

In the fall of 2006 when two
students enrolled in a women's
studies course titled "Women
in Performance," a course that
focused on the body image
and the female form, Professor, Karen Schaffman, assigned
her students an assignment that
would propel Jennifer Schouwe
and Alexis Macias to create a
campus organization named,
IntHERnational.
IntHERnational will become
a part of CSUSM next fall, and
it will aim to educate students in
global issues surrounding the violations of women's human rights.
IntHERnational will have a set
focus on women without voices
and women who are suppressed,
abused, murdered or forgotten.
Professor Schaffman asked to
her class to create a zine. Macias
and Schouwe created a zine titled
IntHERnational with Barbara
Whalen, Randi Leyva and Celeste
Lampro. "The assignment was
designed to artfully address any
women's issues or a topic concerning women," Schouwe and
Macias said. The zine focused
on women from Afghanistan,
Guatemala, Kenya, India and the
United States. Each section of
the zine informs its readers on
women of various regions. The

Schouwe and Macias both
agree that CSUSM students
actively participate in the community and in the academic setting to gain knowledge and grow.
"The importance of having a
club like IntHERnational that
raises awareness and discussion
about women's issues is clear,"
Schouwe and Macias said. "As
IntHERnational relates to greater
San Diego, establishing a grassroots connection on campus
breeds a more lasting and honest
beginning for larger community
connections."
Schouwe and Macias plan
on hosting events including art
exhibits and performances by
dance and acting groups. In order
to help local women and their
families, Schouwe and Macias
also plan on volunteering with
CSUSM students for local nonprofit organizations. "In all honesty, we encourage students, faculty, and any community member
to offer suggestions or input as to
how we can be most effective as
an organization in encouraging
people to become more involved
in our cause," said Schouwe and
Macias.

Afghanistan section speaks of
girls as young as 11 or 12 who
have been given away in marriage to repay a debt. The zine
also offers information for readers to donate to RAWA, the oldest
socio-political organization of
Afghan women. The zine also
provides information on female
genital mutilation in the Maasai
community of Kenya. The zine
describes how the 5,000 year old
practice of removing the entire
clitoris and labia is unwanted
among women but the practice
is the only means of acceptance
of women in the community. The
zine also features information on
women of Guatemala, India and
the United States.
Following the zine project, each
student took part in a performance
that included a vigil and an art
interpretation of each zine. After
the performance, Schouwe and
Macias said, "Karen offered her
enthusiasm in suggesting we conduct our performance for the entire
school. Alexis and I then thought
more about the impact our message
would have, but on a more lasting

of departments, student organizations,
and clubs were in attendance, including representatives of the Women's

Lissa Lim, co-founder of the Women's

growing number of students who want an
Asian-American course is on the rise.
Graduate student Patricia Guevana
said to the 60 students and faculty
in attendance, "We have studies for
women; there are Latino studies and
African-American studies, but we do
not have a voice for Asian-Americans." Freshman Bryant Vuong said,
"Mostly what we know of our culture
is from our parents."
The meeting brought up issues of
language and how this generation of
Asian-American students feels that
they have lost or are losing their language as well as their culture.
Guevana said, "Not many of you

"It seems unfair that the four of us get
credit when really it's been a team effort.
We have come far this year. Look at us.
This is our family. We are here together.
We are here because we all beliçve in
the same things," Lim said.
Cheyenne Barr gave a solo a-cappella performance of a tune that she
wrote to honor several volunteers.
The ditty was a spin on the Inez and
Charlie Foxx version of "Mockingbird." Barr asked guests to stand as
their names popped up in the lyrics.
The Women's Center distributed
25 certificates of appreciation to student leaders of CSUSM, along with
earth toned t-shirts decorated with
the image of the growing tree displaying many of the participant's names.
About sixty-five invitations were sent
out for the ceremony.
A slide show featuring volunteers
brought the event to a close on a cheerful note and left participants laughing
away at all the good memories they had
shared while working together. Out
of all the events the Women's Center
hosted in the past year, Hoodenpyle
said, "The most popular event of the
semester was the singer, songwriter
Ellis, who is a lesbian performer."
Following the slide show, guests
were asked to check underneath their
seats for a purple ribbon, and winners
possessing the ribbons received bonsai
trees for a prize.
Lim closed her speech with a quote,
"Margaret Mead was right when she
said, 'Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed that's the
only thing that ever has.'"
have, it has been somewhere else."
With high hopes of gaining support
of fellow students, Guevana and fellow
students passed a petition around the
room to gain signatures in hopes of
imposing the importance of courses
on Asian-American culture on President Karen Haynes and the rest of the
CSUSM community.
But having courses placed on the
agenda is only a starting point. Students also hope to give future students
an opportunity to minor in AsianAmerican studies, and potentially
even major in it.
But the support of fellow classmates might not be enough to gain
these courses. Liberal Studies professor Robert Yamashita said, "We can
fill the schedule with as many courses
as possible, but we cannot teach AsianAmerican courses if the students don't
enroll for them."
The professors emphasized the slow
procedure that would take place to
gain courses and the responsibility of
those students who want to register for
the classes.
"It would be a huge step back for all
of us if we were to make an approach
at adding courses for Asian-American
studies and then have three or four
students register for the class. They
would then take that course off the
schedule and add another course at
the time slot and we it would be heavy
blow to what we are trying to accomplish today," Yamashita said.
With high hopes of achieving a
course for next fall, the staff members
in attendance were able to get a better
of picture of how many students are
interested in taking a course on AsianAmerican studies.

Paintball is ranked the 3rd most

the past 20 years, paintball has blossomed from a 'war game' played in

Student loans 101: Things to
know before taking out a loan
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Fee hikes seem to be a current trend in the California
State University system. With
each proceeding year Cougars
paw out more and more money
each semester as not only
tuition increases but other items
such as parking costs increase.
Unfortunately, the inflation
within the cost of pursuing a
higher education does not equal
the amount of money Cougars
earn. Thus, student loans offer
a much-needed band-Aid for the
situation.
The majority of student loans
start with Free Application for
Federal Student Aid. FAFSA
applications are due before July
2. FAFSA determines eligibility for student loans. Student
loans are subsidized and/or
unsubsidized. Subsidized loans
allow students to take out loans
from the federal government
without having to pay interest or
make payments while attending
school at least part-time. Subsidized loans remain interest
free and payment free until the
student has not attended school
at least part-time status within
a six-month period. Unsubsidized loans acquire interest
and require the student to make
monthly payments while attending school.
CSUSM requires all first time
student loan students to complete two items. First, students
must complete Loan Entrance
Counseling through the internet. Then students must electronically sign a loan promissory note.
Aside from the FAFSA, there
are other student loan oppor-

tunities. The Federal Direct
Parent Loan for Undergraduate
Students PLUS allows parents
of dependent-students to take
out student loans. Parents qualify for the loan based on a credit
check. A monthly payment of
at least 50 dollars is required
within 60 days of disbursement.
The loan amount is due within
ten years.
The Federal Perkins Loan
o ffers a loan primarily for
teaching credential students.
The loan focuses on certain
groups due to limited funding.
The loan requires outstanding financial need. Similar to
a subsidized l6an, payments
are required 9 months a fter the
student has stopped attending
school with at least part-time
status. As long as the student
remains in school part-time,
the loan remains interest f ree
as well.
The Cal State San Marcos
Spicer loan allows students
to take out up to $4,000 in
student loans. Also similar
to a subsidized loan, students
make payments a fter they have
stopped attending school parttime within six months. The
Director of Financial Aid and
Scholarships determines eligibility.
The Cal State San Marcos
Emergency Loan quickly allows
students to take out $500. The
loan is interest free. The loan
amount is also due at the end of
the semester. The loan becomes
available two days after processing.

WHERE
I N THE
WORLD IS
ALISON AFFLECK?
BY ALISON AFFLECK
Pride Staff Writer
Scotland is a country often passed oyer
in lieu of its cousin, Ireland. But for the
life of me I cannot understand why. It is a
land of hauntingly beautiful landscapes,
friendly peoples and amazing history. Vast
mountain ranges scrape the ceiling of billowing clouds and the sparkling Lochs and
rivers burst with life. Indeed, there is such
an amazing expanse of unspoiled countryside just waiting to be explored. Scotland
holds a host of relics and secrets and it is
not uncommon for a visitor to stumble
upon such forgotten and hidden treasures,
be it the ruins of a castle, ancient Celtic
carvings or rare spectacular wildlife- such
as the secretive sea otter or pine martin.
Scotland is a land of contradiction - of
warriors and artists, peace and chaos; and
she has something to offer everyone. From
the outdoor enthusiast, the gastronomy or
the history buff - she has it all. For me, on
a trip to the Kyle of Lochalsh; the image
of a red, twelve-pointer stage thundering
alongside an old steam train, dragon-like
with clouds of steamy breath hitting the
cool highland air is firmly imprinted into
my brain. In case you didn't realize it yet
- 1 love Scotland; it is the land of my birth,
and my home.
As an unofficial ambassador to my
homeland, I often hear the plans of future
tourists and, more often than not, they
present such an unrealistic itinerary that
I cringe - yes it is a small country but do
not be fooled! We have some of the wildest
terrain imaginable and the canny traveler
must be prepared for amazingly winding
roads, this also means that a longer amount
of time must be factored into a journey
through a mountain range, along with other
considerations, such as holdups caused
by free ranging livestock and inclement weather. In fact, stormy weather may
descend at a moments notice and the winds
and rain can carry with them the same
fervor as the magnificent landscape itself.
All of that information digested, the next
thing to realize is that there are different
and distinct cultures in Scotland, a major
divider being the highlands and the lowlands respectively. Needless to say, there is
a vastly different experience to be gained
from time spent in either of these regions.
A trip to the constantly mispronounced
Capital city of Edinburgh is a must. The
correct pronunciation is Edin-bur-UHH, as
in 'huh'. It is NOT EdinBURG (so please
do not call it that!). Apart from the Castle,
which contains the crown jewels, there are
so many places to explore in the city, far too
many to list here! Other cities worth a peek
aré Glasgow, for its amazing nightlife and
art; St. Andrews - the birthplace of golf,
Fort William with rugged Glencoe nearby
and the highest mountain in the highlands
— Ben Nevis. Inverness with its close proximity to Loch Ness and Dingwall, has so
many highland attractions within easy
reach. An often missed region of Scotland
is the Trossachs; this is Rob Roy Macgregór country and it encompasses the
stunning Loch Lomond, the tranquil village of Balquhidder and breathtaking countryside. Stirling, a really underappreciated
city in my opinion, is nearby and it is here
that you will find the Wallace monument. It
contains exhibits, a spectacular panoramic
view from the top of the monument and the
huge sword of Wallace himself!
Getting to the mainland however is
mandatory to fully appreciate the culture
of Scotland as her scores of islands have
different stories to tell. So next time you
are thinking of heading overseas, consider
Scotland, not only Ireland!
Just make sure you allocated enough time
and try to visit the Highland and Islands
too, for a real taste of life there, why not
visit all the distilleries - become a genuine
whisky connoisseur! Such a trip to Scotland
will reveal that there is much more than
bagpipes, kilts, haggis and 'Braveheart'
to enjoy...want a real surprise? - Visit the
lovely village of Plockton - we have naturally growing palm trees there! But don't
just take my word for i t...
�Jock Talk With Josh: Sinning off
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
When I was in 8th grade I went
on a field trip t o CSUSM. I don't
remember what for. That was
back in 1999 when I was 13 years
old.
I remember standing at the top
of the stairs that lead t o Science
Hall, j ust watching the students
walk around campus. I remember at the end of the day saying
I wasn't interested in going t o
that University. It didn't have
sports.
I remember a Saturday in April
of 2003 when I came to CSUSM
to take my placement tests. I was
mad because I was missing the
opening of the NBA playoffs.
I remember a day in Summer
2003 when I had orientation and
signed up for Fall 2003 courses.
I remember sitting in Arts 240,
wondering how this group of
people called the O-Team could
be so damn happy at 8AM.
I remember the tour around
campus. I remember arriving
at Commons 201, just past die
ASI offices, above the University store, and t o the l eft of the
elevator. The guide said this was
where the student newspaper had
its office. It seemed like he was
looking directly at me when he
said t hat
I remember the first Tuesday
of Spring 2004. It was 5PM and
I was waiting in the hallway of
2007
University Hall to attend my
first newspaper class. I remember these two women introducing themselves, asking why I
was interested in the newspaper.
I remember saying, " I want t o be
a sports journalist when I grow
up?
One of those women was Sarah
Carlin. I remember her calling
me on Wednesday February 11th,
telling me t o come t o campus. She
asked i f l wanted t o write a sports
column every week. I asked what
we would call i t I remember
Michael Dolan, the Ombudsman
and future editor-in-chief, sitting in a chair, helping u s come
up with a title. Sarah thought up
"Jock Talk," and I added "With
Josh."
I remember Tuesday February
17th, 2004 when the first "Jock
Talk With Josh" came o ut It was
about the dangers of ephedra
based drugs and how they were
affecting the world of sports.
Since I'm graduating this
semester, this is the final "Jock
Talk." I have learned and experienced so much because of this
column. This helped turn me
into a working journalist with the
"San Diego Union-Tribune" on
April 29th 2004.
It gave me a voice to influence.
If l wanted to talk about something, I wrote it here. I 'll never
forget when a current staff writer
told me she joined the paper
because of the article I wrote
in opposition t o the University
Hour.
This also got me into a lot of
trouble. I got my share of hate
mail when I lambasted the Winter
Olympics and when I commented
on the media's hypocrisy in the
Michael Richards incident
When my picture first accompanied the column, April 13th
2004, I found out that people
actually read this. To this day I 'm
still shocked when someone tells
me they read this.
Earlier this semester on a
Friday night I was at a restaurant
in Solana Beach when a woman
came up to me, asking if I was
Josh Sandoval. I didn't know
her, and was wondering how she
knew me. She told me she loves
my column and reads it every
week. It meant a lot t o me any
time someone came up t o me on
campus and told me they read
this.
I could fill this final column
with just names of people and
places that meant something to
me, so here are a few.
I've worked with three faculty
advisors: Jennifer Woodring,
Anthony Hurst, and Joan Anderson.
I've worked in three newspaper
rooms: Commons 201, ACD 301,
and Craven 3500.
I've worked with five editorin-chiefs: Elizabeth Baldwin, Jon
Rodley, Michael Dolan, Patrick
B. Long, and David Galley. I also
have t o mention Jason Encabo,
the current Managing Editor and
future editor-in-chief, because
I've been on the paper with him
the longest
There wasn't a Sports section
until my column came around.
My dream came true this year
when my column got pushed
t o the Opinion section because
others joined t o cover sports.
Thank you Jeremy Albers, Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge,
Mike Millburn, David Church,
Richard Esperti and Kyle Trembley.
I'm going t o miss this newspaper. I invested four years and
90 columns, so I know I 'll shed a
tear in F ait2007 when this is no
longer part of my life.
I don't know where I 'll be in 10
years. I could be a sports writer,
an MLB General Manager, a
national radio host, or a best selling author. Who the heck knows?
One thing I do know is I have this
column t o thank for getting me
started.
For the last time, comments can be sent to me at
Sando026@csusm.edu and the
paper at jnide@csusm.edu.

Interviews:
Zach Braff star of "Scrubs" and "The Ex"
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Oh that loveable Zach Braff. He's got a
knack for cracking us up and a taste for
music that's won him a Grammy. He's got
a dog named Roscoe, and in his spare time,
he likes to hang out with his Mends, watch
movies and read.
In his fourth film, "The Ex," B raff plays
Tom Reilly, a character struggling t o call a
handicapped person a, shall we say, an asshole? "One of things the movie addresses,"
Braff said, "is how do you deal with someone who's an asshole, they happened t o b e
in a wheelchair, but they're an asshole?
You feel so sorry for this guy because he's
had to deal with all this adversity in his
life, but he's an asshole. This guy's trying
to ruin my life, and no one will side with
me because everyone feels sorry for him."
Directed by Jesse Peretz, "The E x" stars
"Arrested Development"'s Jason Bateman
as Chip Sanders who is paraplegic and still
has a thing for Sofia Kowalski (Amanda
Peet). Sofia, a lawyer, is a new mother
and happily married to Tom. When Sofia
chooses to become a stay-at-home mom,
Tom finds it challenging to step up to the
demands of providing for his family, especially when faced with working alongside
Bateman's character, Chip.
Off camera, the two comedians hammed
it up, and according to Braff, Bateman's
jokes left him giggling like a schoolgirl.
"Mostly it's him making f un of me and
laughing at my expense. He's one of those
people, he can be making f un of you and
you're just cracking up because he's so
freakin' funny."
Growing up in New Jersey, Braff was
exposed to Manhattan's performing art
scene early on. He has memories of his
parents commuting into Manhattan to see
performances at art house theaters well
before independent films were the thing to
see. At home in New Jersey, B rafFs father
would host dinner parties for friends and
project 16-millimeter films on the wall.
Most of those movies were Woody Allen
films. "Even at a young age, before I could
possibly understand a Woody Allen movie
or anything else, I have memories of my
father celebrating the art of movies and
filmmaking."
The art of filmmaking turned into a dis-
cipline for Zach. He graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Film and
a minor in Musical Theatre.
From there he landed a role in Woody
Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mysteries,"
where Braff said, "If you look at my face
closely for the forty five seconds I'm on
screen, you'll notice that I looked terrified.
I was in a little bit over my head."
In 2001, Braff became Dr. John "JD"
Dorian on "Scrubs." Next season's future
of "Scrubs" is uncertain. "My gut is that
it will be on, but it won't be decided until
May 15, and particularly which network. It
will either be on NBC or ABC."
As a writer, director and soundtrack
producer for "Garden State," Braff has a
thing or two to say about making films for
the aspiring film makers. "You can't talk
about it," Braff said, "No amount of taking
classes or talking about it is going to make
any difference. You have to get out there
and make films. And I think, really, really

"So my idea is to have all these different
artists I really love, from Imogen Heap to
Paul Simon to Chris Martin, to write original songs that, in the movie, we'll pretend
are her songs and then she'll sing them in
the movie. On the soundtrack, the artist
who wrote the song will sing the song they
wrote. That's my rough concept of an idea
and I'm going to see if I can get people to
do that."
As far as music, Braff is currently into
Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson.
"I think everyone should go on MySpace.
There's this girl Schuyler Fisk. She doesn't
have an album out, but you can hear her
on MySpace. She is incredible. I think that
she's going to be a big talent." And speaking of Myspace, Braff said, "I really love
the MySpace thing. For me, it's such a cool
invention that you can have a dialogue
with your fans."

spend a lot of time on developing a good
script. Anyone with a video camera can
go out there and make a video and put it
on YouTube. What sets the certain ones
apart is someone took the time and wrote a
really good script."
Although Braff frequently chooses
the music for "Scrubs,'* and has won a
Grammy for his selection of music for
"Garden State," and has directed three
music videos, Braff said, "I really don't
know anything about music, other than I
know what I like. If I can be a catalyst for
some amazing musician to help get exposure then I feel honored. I'm sure you've
seen an artist in any art form that you
love, and you j ust can't believe that no one
knows about them."
Braff is looking forward to directing
"Open Hearts," a dark drama. His excitement for "Open Heart's" soundtrack is
already bubbling up. "The lead girl in the
; movie is an aspiring singer," Braff said.

me that this little publication we

Traditional Afro-Cuban
drums and dance at CSUSN
BY KENNY KING
Pride Staff Writer
Silfredo La 0 Vigo and Patrice-ann Mea d give an impromptu lesson on dancing
Agogo plays in the background.
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, May 3, during
university hour, the library
courtyard was rocked with the
sounds of Afro-Cuban drum and
music. Paul Huggins, a musician
and educator at Yale University
since 1969 who has played A froCuban drums for five decades,
performed with Agogo, the resident drum and dance ensemble of
Palomar College. A fter singing,
performers Silfredo La O Vigo
and Patrice-ann Mead showed
off their dancing skills, while the
drum ensemble laid down some
contagious beats.
Dozens of students gathered to
hear the distinctive drum songs
and to watch the high-energy
dancing. Performers played
congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments including a
box-shaped drum. They played
all during university hour, which
is quite a feat considering some
drum players played with only
their bare hands. As a former percussionist, I can attest that this is
truly amazing. Even playing for
Photo by Kim Anderson / The Pride
Cai State San Marcos students while
10 minutes can make an average
drummer's hands numb from all
of that drum slapping.
At the end, the band had interested students come up and learn
how to meringue. Students' skill
levels varied from the very beginning stages to those who clearly
were not dancing for their first
time. It was amazing to see how
much f un it was for students to
learn and dance. The instructors
were both very skillful dancers
whose infectious attitudes made
learning dancing a joy, and for us
observers, entertaining to watch.
"It's Beer. Hooray Beer." If
you have not already guessed,
this week's Beer of the week
is Red Stripe. Not only is Red
Stripe brewed and bottled in
Jamaica but the Ambassador
of Jamaica is also the spokesman for Red Stripe. Obviously
Jamaica is very proud of their
beer, and they have the right
to be. Red Stripe is not only a
delicious brew, but it also complements Jamaican cuisine.
I was digging through my
refrigerator hoping to find a
home cooked meal when my
roommate mentioned he had
discovered a new restaurant
just down the street. I looked at
him and said, "Let's Go." Next
thing I know we are pulling up
to Jamrock on the 101 in Encinitas. "Jamaican cuisine: this will
be a first." But I was in store for
much more. When we sat down
the first thing I ordered was a
Red Stripe. When the waitress
returned with our beers in hand
I was happy to see that these
were no ordinary Red Stripes;
these were at least 32 ounces
of delicious beer. While I was
enjoying the first couple sips of
beer, the waitress filled us in
on some of the history of Red
Stripe.
To my surprise Red Stripe
is still brewed and bottled in
Jamaica. A soda company
brewed the first Red Stripe in
1928. Americans first discovered Red Stripe during World
War II when some of our troops
were sent to Jamaica. But it
wasn't until the 1960s, when
Jamaica became independent
from Britain, that the company
could go public and really start
producing beer.
I enjoyed my Red Stripe
with and Jamaican jerk chicken
sandwich. It was delicious,
and washing it down with Red
Stripe finished it off perfectly.
"It's beer. Hooray beer."

"Shrek the Third"

"Nancy Drew"
June 15
Shrek and Fiona are back, along with
their furry friends Donkey and Puss In
Boots. This time they face what may
be their most challenging task yet
- finding a new King for Far Far Away
after King Harold (shall we pun?)
croaks. (Well, he was a frog after all.)
Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron
Diaz and Antonio Banderas return as
the incomparable vocal cast.
It all began in 1930 with the debut of a
teen super-sleuth named Nancy Drew.
Conceived by Edward Stratemeyer,
whose brainchildren include such
well-known favorites as the Bobbsey
Twins and the Hardy Boys, the "Nancy
Drew" series was published under the
pseudonym Carolyn Keene though a
number of writers actually worked on
the series. In the soon-to-be-released
film adaptation, Emma Roberts plays
the winsome teen detective who
relocates from the fictional town of
River Heights to Hollywood, California,
and promptly finds a mystery to solve.
"Ocean's Thirteen

Ellen Barkin and Al Pacino join in on
the fun in the sequel to the sequel to
the remake of "Ocean's Eleven." In
| "Ocean's Thirteen," Danny Ocean

Willy Bank (Pacino) has it in for
Reuben (Elliott Gould). And as the
; tagline goes, "What are the odds of

July 13
Harry enters his fifth year at Hogwarts
in "Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix," which hits theaters just
eight days before J.K. Rowling's
newest Harry Potter hits the shelves.
This film adaptation of the fifth book
in J.K. Rowling's widely popular
series catches up with Harry after his
encounter with Lord Voldemort, whose
return the leaders of the wizarding
community refuse to acknowledge.
Troubled by disturbing dreams, Harry
must prepare for battle against the
Dark Arts while struggling with the
pains of adolescence as the girl of his
dreams begins to take an interest in
him.

BY A MANDA A NDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
With t he bright sun shining and the sweet s ummer
breeze tickling the w arm air, there is only one t hing
missing f rom your soon t o b e p erfect s ummer: t he
hot s ummer CD releases. T his summer shall b ring
many good t hings: the San Diego County Fair, 4th of
July celebrations, chlorinated and c affeinated p arties,
r oad t rips galore, beach outings and yes, the t op five
anticipated CD releases of the summer. I n my opinion, the five releases that w ill be the biggest sellers
and receive the most h ype in t he coming weeks are
Maroon 5 "It Wont' Be Soon Before Long," H anson
" The Walk," Paul McCartney " Memory A lmost F ull,"
Enrique Iglesias "Insomniac," and R ufus Wainwright
"Release t he Stars."
W ho can argue with Maroon 5 's latest single,
"Makes Me Wonder"? There is n o doubt about it t hat
t he guys are back and back with an attitude, along
with some seriously slick songs. It w on't b e long
before t he album "It Won't Be Soon B efore Long," is
in stores May 22.
D are I say it—Hanson is m aking a comeback.
Though t he brotherly t rio h as b een o ut of t he limelight
for quite some t ime now, t he once adolescent " MmmBoppers" are now all grown up. Seeing t hat I w as once
a seventh g rade teenie-bopper obsessed w ith t he t hree
" Mmm-Boppers," I w as quite s urprised t o h ear about
t heir new album " The W alk" being released on 3CG
Records May 22. Hanson, having traveled t o South
A frica and Mozambique, h as centered t he t heme of
t heir new album and single " The Great D ivide" on t he
devastating A IDS epidemic in A frica.
It would b e h ard for Paul M cCartney t o go wrong on
His upcoming release, especially since it is r umored that
h e is producing and compiling old audio t racks f rom
h is
Beatles
days
to
create
t he last ever
m ade new Beatles
song with a little help f rom
h is good friend R ingo Starr.
" Memory A lmost F ull" is due
out J une 5.
A h, E nrique Iglesias. We have m issed o ur
" hero." E nrique's latest single " Do You K now"
is upbeat even t hough its tone b ehind t he lyrics is
slightly forlorn. E nrique looks and sounds b etter
t han ever; h is b reak from t he niusic scene h as
w orn on h im well. Only 36 more sleepless nights
u ntil E nrique's album, " Insomniac" debuts June
12.
Lastly, R ufus Wainwright, t he p oetic d reamer
h e is, h as a new album entitled "Release t he
Stars," which w ill b e on store shelves May 15.
T his b eing t he songster's f ifth f ull-length album,
h is revamped and r efreshed style is s oft and delicious; p erfect f or an a fternoon c ruise along t he
coast.
Now t hat s ummer is in our m idst, p repare
yourself f or a musically mouthwatering b reak m
from studying.
Other new releases to keep your eye out for:
May 29: Cary Brothers "Who A re You"
June 12: Queens of the Stone Age "Era Vul
garis"
June 19: Mandy Moore "Wild Hope"
