According to Rick Moore,

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to
$100 for parking in a reserved
spot. Revenue from the tickets
that are issued does not go back
into the parking system, but
rather to San Diego County for
various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and
carpools.
The repeal rate for parking
tickets is around 80 percent,
meaning that only 20 percent
o f the contested tickets actually

result in a fine. There is a 21-day
grace period during which students have the chance to contest
the ticket. After appealing, the
contestation will go in front o f an
appeal board, which is made up
o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system.
It normally takes six to eight
weeks to receive a reply, after
which time the ticket will either
be dismissed or upheld. I f the
ticket is upheld then you have an
option for a second level hearing.
In other words, tickets can be
appealed twice.
I f students drop classes or dis-
enroll, the parking institution will
consider refunding your parking
pass on a pro-rated scale. Many
students are unaware o f this and
simply throw their passes away
not knowing that they might be
eligible for a refund.
Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking.
O n the site there is information
concerning future plans o f action
including expansion and parking
pass increases. I t is also a good

donated by Geico, providing the
college with two $5,000 scholarships each year to be continually
funded.
Regarding how cuts will affect
faculty, Guseman said that, " No
tenured or track faculty will be
released. Because we're offering
fewer sections, we may use fewer
adjuncts," including those faculty
who have been teaching less than
two years, typically teaching one
or two classes. "We have some
excellent adjunct faculty, and our
desire is to keep those," he said.
Despite budget reductions,
the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed
by January 2006, will not be
threatened.
Funding for the
building comes from a different
budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has
always been protected under the
Governor's economic stimulus
plan," Guseman said.
BUSINESS, from page 1
ing fewer opportunities to attend
conferences and seminars. This
will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the
cutting edge o f their field.
"Faculty will have to delay
some things they'd like to do for
a year," Guseman said.
Guseman
characterized
expected budget cuts as a " bump
in the road," saying: "We want to
minimize any long-term damage.
We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't
want to make some decisions that
will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future."
Rather than focusing purely
on cutting costs, the college will
generate additional revenues.
The college has already had
some success in such efforts,
Guseman said. " The business
community really does realize
the importance o f having quality
education."
One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for
companies hosting students in
the college's "senior experience"
program - a program allowing students to collaborate on
projects with businesses in the
community. Additional revenues
accrued from businesses in this
manner would help defer costs
incurred by the program.
Evidencing the fruits
appeals to the business community for support, Guseman
revealed a check for $10,000,

Before students left campus

raised by $37.
T hese

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

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

They pick up the trash, g um

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

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

This program is a " win w in

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

The play opened its c urtains

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

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

against the absolute best in the
N AIA on Tuesday at Cal Baptist.

the p rogram gain considerable

throughout

By early Monday morning
outgoing campers had already
b egun to f orm a sizable line at

the p roject is tent donations,
many in line o ffered sleeping

of which Tents for R efugees

" This is the only weekend
all year I ever camp and we
c ouldn't donate our tent
because we borrowed it, but
my group had some s tuff that
we really d on't need so we
f igured we might as well give
something," said Leah Scott.
Shimon P resents stated
in a p ress release last week,
"Many people buy t ents
b efore a f estival and never
u se them again. Now, t here is
a chance to help someone in
need by t urning them in at the

Liam Clarke, a 22 year old

one such i ndividual. "I f lew
out here a few days early
to buy up a tent and some
camping gear t hinking I might
sell it or give it away a fter the

Liam was one of many
foreign Coachella p atrons
unable to b ring home their

to donate. However, other

simply t rying t o f ree up some

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

story made by the actual artists.
«44 INCH CHEST"
This film combines Ray Winstone with
the screenwriting crew he worked with in
"Sexy Beast." Though this film is not as
strong as "Beast" it is still a gritty and
dark tale of kidnapping and affairs the

PARENTHOOD,
P.l
Opponents disagree, and according to www.theblaze.com,
the bill's supporters are ultimately trying to deny women
the reproductive health services
they need. In a statement to
NPR, Sarah Stoesz of Planned
Parenthood Minnesota informed
listeners that the majority of the
company's services are for reproductive health, family planning and cancer screening. She
added, "We're here to support
women, to offer the health services and information that they
need, and then to allow them to
make the best choice for them."
The Blaze article quoted Planned
Parenthood president, Cecile
Richards responding to the bill.

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

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

Luckily, San Diego's beaches are
not far from San Marcos, though
none can compare to Rarotonga's picturesque coastline.
With a newly acquired taste for
fresh coconut milk, and the dis-
covery of enjoyment in relaxing
in town barefoot, Rarotonga inspired me. Delving into the culture
and being a part of a royal wedding made me realize how truly
fortunate I have been to see such
interesting and beautiful sights.

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

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

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

RODGERS SHINES AT SURF CHAMPIONSHIP
ASHLEY DAY
A&JE E DITOR
Saturday, March 12 and Sunday, March 13, CSUSM's surf
team traveled to Huntington
Beach and competed in the National Scholastic' Surfing Association's (NSSA) Interscholastic State Championships.
The A team came in 6th of 16,
while the B team finished 13th,
their best ranking of the season.
The competition held a number of categories including,
college men's, college women'^ and college longboard.
A team longboarder and surf
team treasurer, Mick Rodgers,
excelled in the competition. He
finished as the Runner-Up State
Champion to SDSU's Jon Hoover.
"[Rodgers] has been a contributor in many ways since day
one of his involvement," Dr.
Amber Puha, professor in the
department of mathematics and
surf team faculty advisor said.
Rodgers, a senior, is finishing
hisreignonCSUSM'steamstrong.
He has been a member of the surf
team since his freshman year.
' The A team shortboard
women, Kaitlin Maguii^and Annie Howe, also had excépfipnal
performances," Dr. Puha said.
Maguire and Howe finished fourth and fifth , in
the college womens round.
CSUSM's surf team .started
in January 2002. In 2009, our
team won thè National Championship. Since its inception,
the CSUSM surf team benefited from a steady flow of
strong longboard competitors.
Past surfers Dystin Franks,
Chris Smith and Christian
Clark contributed to putting
CSUSM's surf team on, the map.
Franks competed on the very
first team and scored at least
one State Championship. Smith
earned the 2007 State Champion and Runner-Up National
Champion and Clark seized the
2008 National Championship.
"It's a really interesting phenomenon that's happened since the
inception of the team. The longboarders really contribute a lot to
the team points " Dr. Puha said.
The surf team competes in
three competitions in the fall
and one in early January. To
get involved with the surf team,
you may tryout in early fall, approximately three weeks into
the semester. There's a chance
to make it onto either the A
team, composed of the strongest surfers or the B team, consisting of surfers at all levels.
Participating on the surf team
is an excellent way to contribute to CSUSM and live up to the
rich beach life San Diego offers.
In addition, the surf team helps
build bonds with other students.
'These students bond on the
beach, and they create what
seems to be lasting friendships
that will go beyond their years
at CSUSM," Dr. Puha said.
Next season, MiraCosta College transfer student Ashley
Aronson will be the next surf
team captain. He will bring his
surfing skills to CSUSM and
hopefully can lead the surf team
to another National Championship. Dr. Puha is excited to
see what next season brings.
CSUSM will send the
A team to the National Championships in June.
The NSSA National College Surfing Championships
air on CBS Saturday, June 25
at 2 p.m. eastern time. Watch
to see a representation of the
CSUSM team fight for victory.

These features make the Pokémon

"All in all, Pokémon has been

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

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

El Dorado hosts an array of

with goofy and groovy 20-somethings who seem to care more
about having a good time and

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

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

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

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

onion, omelet. Dissolving peptides, a medicated ritual. Her
porch, a smorgas of bells and
chimes. Sand dollars, paper
weights, stilted birds.
She lost her voice a long time
ago. Hysterical laryngitis. Family
members knew it was her when
she called because there was no
response to hello other than a
tapping of a pen on a hard surface. Three hard taps for How are

four, equated to a range of other
responses.
For lunch: an ethereal licking
of a turquoise twilight. A beached
examination. Curl lipped, pencil
straight teeth, bearing them
whiter than she would have
expected for an animal. Black
skin taut as it purpled under the
sun, distant maroon spots crimsoning as flies gorge flesh.
Bits of shell dug into her feet.
Frictions, fissures. Feel of seaweed, a slippery twirl about her
leg that let her know she was not
alone. Days of putting sunscreen
on before going in, waiting a
half hour after eating, shuffling
her feet so she didn't step on a
sting ray, warnings of pee turning purple when mixed with salt
water.
Sun, synapses, ladled fog. A
ballerina punctuated, painted in
the clouds. A trembling example
of human origami. Of dreams
collaged and tides stolen. Neighborhoods with childless strollers. Of umbilical cords tethered
to tiny shoes, of pig skins, and
fetuses, of a sea urchin's breath,
and the tongue of a lantern's
single moth.
Sometimes she fell asleep in the
sand. Other nights she wandered
into the tide, hoping it was heavy
enough to pull her out. Held a new
string of beads in her hand: fallI

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

four cups of coffee to stave off the night air
and space, asking you to decide what Taylor
sits solitary at his table watching her pour the
coffee into big greenware mugs, her Up red on
top, white on the bottom, creased below by the
fullness of her chin. The mugs are part of why
he likes this place even though they say lazy,
too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's
doing.
She brings him angel food cake heaped with
whip cream. What else are you going to eat
at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just
like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of
her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no
sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending,
what people look like if you stay up all night
driving transports for art supplies from state
line to state line.
In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down
the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday
special on angel food cake. It is sweet and
spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by
her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details.
Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses
that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one
night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to
the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg
steadies itself on the ground while she reaches
to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover
herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark
of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She
has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now
is a brief scan against the oncoming light of
another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in
his headlights.
She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches
down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with
an enclosed black platform. The boot up her
right leg is fitted closely around the ankle,
zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly
treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is
hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like
a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into

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

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

THE PRIDE
W hat to see on D VD
Two rookie outings and one hall of famer
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
A week without a plan,
movies all over the map, and
the result is a week with t hree
very enjoyable f ilms. Would
you believe a Chinese Will
Smith? Film number two is an
u pdated movie by an old time
comic. You w ill when you see
t he f irst selection. Finally
we take a look at an old cult
classic comedy. So sit back
and watch some movies f illed
with ups and f ree of downs.
"Ping Pong Playa" stars
Jimmy Tsai as Christopher
' C-dub' Wang as a young
adult who d reams of playing
in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't
seem to have what it takes
to make it h appen. While he
claims g enetics have l eft him
two inches short of his d ream,
the r eality is that his l aziness
is k illing any hopes he may
have. His b est f riend D.B. is
the only one willing to drown
his u nrealistic NBA dreams
and force C-Dub to accept
his lot in l ife and begin doing
something with it.
The Wang f amily seems
like a t raditional Chinese/
A merican f amily, and in
t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the
f amily " Ping Pong" supply
store while the mother teaches
p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect"
older b rother is a doctor and
champion ping-pong player.
W hile out g oofing o ff with
D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a
car w reck. In the accident, his
b rother and mother are mildly
i njured. C-Dub, with much
reticence, f inally takes his
place in the family and f ills
in for his mother's classes and
f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament.
In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai
is both the w riter and lead
actor. He plays it safe and
keeps e verything down the
middle of the road. For a f ilm
with l imited r isks, there is a
very nice reward in the f inal
p roduct. If you close your eyes
f or a moment while watching
t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink
you were watching the "Fresh
P rince of Bel-Air." It would
be hard to p redict that Tsai
will be the next Will Smith,
but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage
of his career with Will Smith
at the same stage in his. Nice
story, nice p roduction, and a
very f un f lick. I look f orward
to his next f ilm, and a fter
watching t his I t hink you will
too. What to See ***
"Hollywood Endings" is
w ritten and directed by Woody
A llen, who also s tars as Val,
a great f ilm d irector whose
career has vanished due to
his d ifficult temperament. As
a young moviemaker, A llen's
humor was hip, c utting, and
o riginal. His early f ilms such
as " Sleeper," "Take the Money
and R un," and " Bananas"
quickly established him as an
all time great writer, director,
and actor. Then he lost his
way. Allen began to spend too
much time t rying to prove his
i ntellectual prowess, much
like Dennis Miller, and in the
process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the
exits.
In t his f ilm, Allen has come
f ull circle, and r eturns to his
comedic roots with a very
enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he
proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy
is as sharp as ever. This is a
great cast, with Tea Leoni as
Val's ex-wife. She is tough as
n ails, yet still has a s oft spot
for Val. The best p erformance
is by Debra Messing as Lori,
Val's love i nterest. Lori is a
slightly dimwitted starlet,
and M essing's p erformance,
although minor, is t ruly captivating.
The one limiting aspect of
this f ilm is the demographic.
I think anyone under sixteen
will f ind nothing appealing
in this f ilm. The more years
you have put behind you f rom
age sixteen, the more this f ilm
will touch your sensibilities.
There are young adults who
will strongly i dentify with
Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son.
This is a solid f ilm f rom
s tart to f inish. What to
See****
"The Kentucky
Fried
Movie" This f ilm was w ritten
by rookie w riters Jim Abrams
and brothers David and J erry
Zucker, and was d irected by
John Landis. So what? Well,
Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal
House," "Beverly H ills Cop
I II," and Michael Jackson's
" Thriller." The w riters went
on to w rite such classic spoofs
as "Airplane," "Hot Shots,"
and "Top Secret."
What t his means is that t his
f ilm is the premiere work of
f our stooges, and I mean that
in a good way.
This is a series of sketch
comedies as you might expect
to have seen on "SNL" in the
70's. The humor is p uerile,
lowbrow, and yet somehow
s till, a fter all these years* it
is very f unny. Whether it is
Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round"
(this was made when surround sound was still f resh
and new), or "Catholic High
School Girls in Trouble"
(which is there to a ttract the
13-17 male demographic),
e verything here ranges f rom
mildly silly to very f unny.
There is no r ust on t his
f ilm, j ust a nice p atina. D on't
be reluctant to dust t his one
o ff and watch it. While the
episode, "A F istful of Yen,"
may make you t hink about
m artial a rts in a completely
new light, overall, t his f ilm
will shine a little laughter on
your l ife. What to See ***
Lisa Hannigan
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that
could not cut it as lead singers.
Every musician or band needs
backup support on tour, though
I am sure some soloists would
love if they could harmonize
with themselves live.
As such, one might imagine
backup singers' careers are as
fragile as a single-press album.
Off the top of your head, try to
come up with a musician who
started out as humble support
and became successful.
Unlikely, right?
The Eagles are easily the
epitome of classic Americana.
Glenn Frey started his career
with Bob Seger in 1968. The
multi-platinum artist Sheryl
Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul
royalty, contributed vocals
with several artists in the 60's
and toured supporting David
Bowie in the 70's.
And Lisa Hannigan gave
six creative years to Damien
Rice.
Now, she has released her
first full-length album.
Irish native Lisa Hannigan
was born in 1981 in County
Photo courtesy of americansongwriter.com
Meath. She began performing
professionally with Damien Rice
in 2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally
contributing guitar or bass in live
performances. Hannigan also
appears on recordings with The
Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer
Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic
Christopher.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left tour to
begin solo work. In early 2009,
Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in
the states.
Hannigan's appeal lies in her
breathy, ethereal voice. However,
in the album track, "Pistachio,"
she presents her poetic ability
as well. The song begins with a
simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz
bass and gentle drum join the
mix, producing a pleasantly folky
blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like
sugar, tend toward the brittle and
sticky when spun," filling the
song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling
cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums.
Hannigan and her band are
currently gearing up for a UK
tour. Go to her website, lisahannigan.ie, to see live performance
footage.

Pride Staff Writer
As May and f inal exams
approach, this week marks
the start of the summer movie
season. The highly anticipated
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm,
staring Hugh Jackman should
blow away the other f ilms this
week.
The summer movie season
is s tarting early in May with
several anticipated f ilms,
such as "Star Trek" and "Up"
Arts & Entertainment
Early in April, a copy of
"Wolverine" was mishandled
and copies of the movie wound
up on the black market. Online
remarks of those who have
gotten a hold of it are mixed.
I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen
in the trailers. If this movie
can create a balance with the
plot, character development,
and action, as the f irst two
"X-Men" f ilms did, t his will
be an awesome f ilm.
With the wild expectation
of "Wolverine," it could be
easy to forget about the other
f ilms out this week. The other
entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated
sci-fi f ilm.
Matthew McConriughey and
Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts
of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer
who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas
Carol" style. This is because
he let Garner's character slip
away and he must get he back.
It seems predictable, but it
might be something for those
who do not want to see "Wolverine."
Lastly, there is "Battle for
Terra." I have mixed thoughts
Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is
arriving in theaters soon. This
week belongs to "Wolverine."
Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the
"X-Men" series. The loaded
cast includes Ryan Reynolds,
Liev Schreiber, and Danny
Huston back him up.
The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the
man with regenerative powers
developed his signature claws.
It is also loaded with other
heroes and villains including
Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites
Gambit and Deadpool.
THE PRIDE
Image courtesy ofLionsgate Studios
set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles
heavy humanity issues. The
surviving humans set out
to conquer a p eaceful alien
planet in order survive. This
f ilm is loaded with political
sentiment and great actors yet
the dialogue and CGI-look of
the f ilm in the trailer makes
me think I will wait until this
comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney,
might have handled this story
better.
Regardless, neither of these
f ilms will make a dent in
"Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much
people are willing to pay for
movies this summer.

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

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

April, alcohol, awareness
A lcohol A wareness M onth sheds light o n c ollege trend
BY EBONI HARVEY
Pride Staff Writer
If you are having more than
one drink five days a week, then
you really cannot complain about
being broke. Perhaps you do not
drink as frequently as that, but
even just drinking twice a week
will leave, at least, a $200 void in

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

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

Kristina W o n g : W o n g Flew O v e r the C uckoo's N est
Prominent A sian American performer visits C S U S M
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
One of the fall highlights of
CSUSM's Arts and Lecture Series
includes the recent visit by Kristina Wong. The March 24 visit by
Wong included a lecture to students in the day followed by an
evening condensed performance
of her latest award-winning theatrical piece, "Wong Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest." Wong, a prominent Asian American writer and
solo performer, uses sharp humor
and psychology in her interactive
performance based on the high
rates of mental illness and suicide
among Asian American women.
Wong plays the role of various fictional personas that keeps
the audience absorbed and on an
emotional rollercoaster during the
entire performance. The evening
included moments of silence and
extreme laughter as Wong shifted
the mood of her performance and
storytelling. One minute the audience would be seriously engaged in
complete silence as they the listened
to the emotional pleas of Wong's
character seeking help from knitted rags representing people. Minutes later, laughter burst from the
audience when Wong's character
would scream and cuss at them.
The audience also participated
with assigned responses to Wong's
queues as they held up funny
photos of her. The performance
ended with a powerful and unexpected twist when revealed that
Wong's character is a patient in a
mental institution. The evening's
performance closed with an open
Q&A session with the artist.
In addition to being a performer,
Wong is also a community activist and educator. The organization
Speak Out outlines Wong's previous work to include conducting
writing workshops for women of
color, and her previous work as
former artistic director of the Asian
American Teen Theater Company,
where she created educational theater on teen issues such as HIV/
AIDS with youth.
Wong uses unapologetic humor
to address serious, and at times,
taboo issues affecting women of
color. In 2000, Wong created a
mock mail order bride website
(www.bigbadchinesemama.com).
The site serves as a lesson website for men looking to order Asian
brides and uses sarcastic humor
in its content. The site's web page
reads, "Yeah, you've seen mail
order bride sites before, you may
have even surfed over to an Asian
porn site, but never in your wildest culturally commodifying sick
sexual desires, have you been
schooled by women (womyn) like
this!"
Whether Wong is doing a solo
performance, lecturing, or helping with youth and community
theatre, she is definitely someone
worth paying attention to. Wong
will continue to tour the United
States with her intriguing performance of "Wong Flew Over the

Gider from England. The name
Strongbow comesfromRichard de Clare,
the second Earl of Pembroke, Lord of
Leinster, and Justiciar of Ireland. He lived
from 1130 to 1176. He is famous for his
involvement in the Norman Invasion of
Ireland that occurred in 1169. He used
Welsh archers tofightagainst Ireland. The
archers had an advantage because Irish
fighters relied on javelins.
BevMo retails six 12fluidounce bottles
for $8.29. The glass bottle features a simple
label with a bow and arrow in black, white,
and a little bit of gold. A black bottle cap
with a bow and arrow in gold stencil seals
a brew with 5% alcohol by volume. Johnny
Appleseed's efforts were not in vain. The
dry cider is comprised of fermented apple
juice amongst other ingredients.
Strongbow pours watery generating a
slight lancet. Little bubbles of bliss rise to
the top throughout the duration producing a bitter aroma. The brew enters and
immediately tickles the lips and tongue.
After thé initial gentle shock, a bold apple
flavor cleanses the palette. The crispness
of the cider should pair well with light
lunches or dinners such as turkey
sandwiches and chicken salads. The
sweetness side of the beer could also
be enjoyed alongside simple ice cream
flavors such as vanilla or chocolate.
Naturally, apple lovers will love the
cider.
Keep on studying and turning in papers.
However,findtime to take a break and enjoy
a bottle of Strongbow
Dry Cider.
Cheers

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

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

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

People who have lived in San

their favorite beach is. Southern
California, San Diego County
in particular, is home to some
of the most temperate yearround coastline i njthe world.
Be it surfing, bgogie board-
ing, sunbathing, or hanging out
with friends, the beaches of San
Diego are perfect for almost any
activity (besides drinking, that
is).
Everyone has a favorite beach
for their own reasons, and

M e xico conflict l ooms o ver s pring b reak
BY SANDRA CHALMERS

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

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

Fashion inspiration: " Gossip G irl"
BY KEVIN CHATHAM
Pride Staff Writer
"Gossip Girl" is a television drama based on a
series of books by Cecil
von Ziegesar with
the same name. The I
premise of the show
revolves around a group
of young socialites in
Manhattan's Upper East
Side. The show is ripe
with clichés, but excels
as a beacon of impeccable
fashion taste. Below we will
examine the styles of two of
the main characters:
Blair Waldorf
Blair is one of the main characters of the series, she was
raised to be the premier
socialite of Manhattan and
her style mirrors her polished personality. Blair
is very classic and
preppy. Her fashion

the Upper East Side:

breathing with short shallow breaths
as I strained not only with my eyes,
but also with my ears to determine
what might be infrontof us. Aswe
stood still, the sounds of the forest
seemed to grow around us, and the
dark seemed almost palpable.
The bush began to move again
and there seemed to be a darkening
shadow moving awayfromthe bush
and down the trail toward us. In the
dim light of the moon it was hard to
see any detail It seemed like a dark
shadow without any mass. It just
kept coming closer... and closer. I
was tempted to breakfreeof Evan's
grip and run as fast as I could, but
lored pieces that accentuate your
body. Blair attends an upscale
school, so to achieve the preppy
look, stick with white oxfords
and dark navy blue skirts.
2.
Feminine Details:
Blair is very feminine. Look
for details with hints of delicacy such as lace in order to
achieve understated elegance.
3.
Color Accents: Blair
uses color to modernize her
look. To keep things fresh and
exciting, look for accessories
that have bold colors. Limit the
accents to one or two pieces or
risk being a visual overload.
Dan Humphrey
Dan lives in the Upper West
Side of Manhattan, a place
that reflects a culture
that values liberal sensibilities and artistic expression. Dan's
style is less formal than
Blair's, and Dan tends
to lean toward a more

2. Military: Dan
wears a lot of masculine

apparel. Think of military jackets and safari
jackets as a replacement to blazers.

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

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

Spring Fling halted early
Night under the stars takes terrible turn
ASI Elections

Pride Staff Writer

Pride Staff Writer
Sat. March 15—Spring Fling,
the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut
short after a guest in attendance
jumped overboard. The dance,
held on the San Diego Harbor
Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego"
yacht, began late due to a lack of
cooperation from many guests in
attendance. As the entrance room
to board the boat crowded, secu?
rity asked guests to separate in two
lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests
became restless the longer they had
to wait.
Visibly intoxicated students
boarded the yacht, while one guest
even vomited on several students.
Once students settled on the yacht,
they visited the casino tables or
the dance floor. However, roughly
forty-five minutes after the yacht
departed, casino dealers closed
their tables and security informed
students the dance was over. None
of the intended raffle prizes were
distributed.'The yacht docked at
least an hour and a half earlier,
even though the original end-time
for the event was 12 a.m.

As Americans contemplate

Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March
24-27.

came and I heard them say, 'This

start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're
going back to shore."'

Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare
Strieker provides related
articles for students to read
beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first
article, "Arguments Mount for
a National Healthcare System"
by David R. Francis, discusses
the health care system and the
promises made by presidential
hopefuls. The second article,
"Coming Soon: Healthcare
Debate, Fart 2" by Kevin Sack,
discusses McCain's aim for tax
credits for private insurance
policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's
aim for health insurance for
children.

the current healthcare issues

Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not
the easiest thing to get people
to do. As diverse as the college
camgus may be, we all speak the
same language when it comes to
our money.
Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every
member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts
personally affect them. Increased
prices of parking permits will
soon be the least of our worries.
While the increased permit
fees will go to use—in theory, the
increase in tuition fees only serve
to alleviate the cuts to the CSU
system. According to Budget
Options for student to get involved
Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its
revenue from State of California
appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget
Committee (UBC) is in charge of
deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions.
Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs,
University Advancement, and
Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an
8.15% reduction from their fiscal
year 2007-08 permanent revenue.
As luck would have it, the state
finalizes the proposed cuts during
summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal
in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize
a bill, similar situations rarely
render results by the appointed
deadline.
If that is the case, we may not
know for certain what the final
budget is until early fall. The issue
is not what is going on but whether
anything can be done to change it.
The overwhelming majority on
campus agrees that this situation
is awful.
What does this all mean?
What can I do about it?
Where can I find out more?
Visit www.allianceforthecsu.
org and www.csusm.edu/plan/
budgetcentral for anything and
everything you need to know.
Candidates of the presidential
primaries have sold promises of
change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact,
the answer—it has to begin at
the grassroots. CSU may be the
solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead
of putting the issue on the back
burner until fall (when it will be
too late to contest it), students
need to infiltrate in full force—
volunteering, making phone calls,
sending letters.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Animal Crackers
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Dear
Animal
Cracker People,
I've finally reached
my limit. I can take
no more. Your incompetence has haunted
me since I was a small
child, and today, we
settle this once and
for all.
There was no higher
treat as a tiny person than your own box of
delicious and educational animal crackers.
It was like an edible National Geographic
special. They also contained significantly
less false advertising than those frosted
circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to
the circus expecting to see pink-spotted
deliciousness and instead got a bunch of
depressed elephants.)
After years of eating your product though,
I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a
problem to your attention. With every box
I open, I should be able to start an entire
zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic
example from a box consumed on March
17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a
hippo's hind end.
To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I
am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to
a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels,
a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What
do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe
It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR
LESS THAN I DESERVE?!?
In addition, I've had an extremely tough
week. I understand that divine healing,
funeral arrangements and hair straightening
probably don't fall under your company's
jurisdiction, but I really don't know how
I'm expected to accomplish or support any of
those things when all I
have is one left side of a
rhinoceros.
Perhaps it isn't your
fault as employees of the
Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents
that happen during shipping. But I
beg you, please consider taking a more
proactive approach. If these "accidents"
all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your
holding pens and the supermarkets of this
country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I
would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if
you put them in breathable crates, with each
animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I
wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear
leg of a donkey.

Amanda
Andreen
you re not
i nt e n tionally trying
to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to
a company's attention. But now that you
know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of
this nation, never have to settle for headless
lions again.
Love and kisses,

The next and final Pizza and
Politics for this semester takes
place on April 22, Earth Day, in
Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will
lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing
attendance. Therefore, attendees
should arrive as early as possible.

Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be
interesting and effective with a
few revisions," said Sophomore
Social Science Major Gabriella

include poverty and the economy,

�An interview with Literature and Writing's Sandra Doller
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
People o ften misconceive that poets start out as
g ifted writers. This isn't the case with Sandra Doller,
who last month read at the San Diego Museum of Art.
As an accomplished author and poet, she is an assistant
professor at CSUSM. In April, Professor Doller is reading at Chapman University and hosts a monthly reading
series in San Diego. She is the editor of 1913 press and
she sits down in an interview to discuss performing,
writing, and the next president of the United States.
The Pride: So, the first thing I want to ask is what are
you currently reading?
Sandra Doller: Mostly I an} spending my time reading student writing from my Advanced Creative Writing graduate class. Last week, we read Joe Wenderoth's
Letters to Wendy's, which are actually letters to the fast
food chain in the form of prose poems but actually build
up to kind of a novel.
Pride: How did you come to work on poetry?
Doller: I didn't do creative writing as an undergrad.
I was in theater and did performance art and playwriting which has connections to poetry and I see that now.
I did cinema studies for my MFA at the University of
Chicago, and t hat's when I really became interested in
connections to early 20th century poetry and other art
forms like painting and cinema.
Pride: That's how art just seems to work out, isn't
it?
Doller: I think so. I was writing these performance
pieces as an undergrad and I was j ust doing it on the side
before I even took a creative writing class. I thought
I was writing stories, but then someone told me they
were prose poems.
Pride: Do you have.a favorite poet right now?
Doller: Fanny Howe. Anytime I can see Fanny read,
I will go. I also enjoy Danzy Senna, who is also a really
Tuesday 3/18
-af^e^lmance
wonder novelist.
Pride: What can you tell people about 19131 *
Doller: I founded 1913 while I was a grad student
doing my MFA at University of Iowa writers' workshop. I got into my head and thought, hey, wouldn't it
be great t o have a journal that publishes contemporary
poetry, fiction and non-fiction essays * and visual art.
Pride: (flipping through the book) There's a lot of
"visual poem" type of art.
Doller: Exactly, and that's something that I'm really
interested in. I applied for a grant in Iowa and that's
how I was able to do this. And since then, it has been
a labor of love that can be a great resource for students and something that I'm interested in sharing with
CSUSM students and bring them to get involved with
the editing and layout and all the things that go into
making a magazine.
Pride: Do students have the opportunity to work
with you and 1913 at this time?
Doller: Absolutely. I have a list and I'm constantly
collecting names of students who are interested in participating. A couple of students, who I 'll call volunteer interns, went with me to, San Diego City College
in October for a book fair there and we had a table and
sold a few copies. The point is to get literature and art
out into the world and I'm definitely interested in getting
students on that.
Pride: Now, you already have one book out, Oriflamme. I hear you've also got one on the way?
Doller: I do, and it's called Chora. It'p a book of
poems mostly and nonfiction prose poems and things
that cross genres. That should be coming out soon.
Pride: Last month, you read at San Diego Museum
of Art. Tell me, what it was like reading not only in
front of other artists, but also a number of your students
as well?
Doller: (laughing) I liked that part of it actually
and felt more comfortable
because I see the students more often that
I see anybody else! I
was really glad that
Cal State students
got to see the event
and got to see Fanny
read as well. I
thought I'd be more
nervous having students there, but
it felt really
friendly. *

Doller: Pm allowed t o say, right?
Pride: You can give your opinion.
Doller: I'm pro-Obama, which does not mean that

I feel Obama has the best chance at winning the presidency and I feel really excited by his message.

�Extended Learning at CSUSM The Compact:
How t o stretch your education even further
BY ARIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
Here at CSUSM, there are many unique programs to
suit students' academic or professional needs. Of special
note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is
not exclusive to students, but is open to the community
as well. Extended Learning features many educational
courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or
personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known
as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The
Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both
the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education
studies, and ",workshops."
In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that
Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County
and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North
County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in
San Diego's North County. Leadership North County
begins every year in September and carries through June.
Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008.
Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to
discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that
are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a
strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership
Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County
by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional
leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership
North County appeals to those who might have more
experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are
valuable assets to students and community members who
want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders.
Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning
Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit,
noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The
eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large—
there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices
varying course by course. These online courses encom-
pass many areas including business, education, finance,
healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment,
service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion
with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit,
noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing
education option is a useful feature of the eLearning
Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within
their career field. The eLearning Center is a great
resource to fulfill those requirements and provides
of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The
Online Certificate Program is available year-round.
Open University is another program from Extended
Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students.
Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open
University provides the means to take CSUSM credit
courses without being admitted to the university and
the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit.
This is a helpful program, especially if one missed the
main-campus university application deadline.
As well as the other programs mentioned, Extended
Learning offers developmental teaching workshops
that can be completed online or on campus, depending
on the course. Extended Learning's Teacher Education
programs are designed to create distinct professional
developmental opportunities for educators in North
San Diego region.
CSUSM's Extended Learning is an extensive institution offering many academic and professional resources
for students and the community. Extended Learning
serves nearly 7,000 individuals a year and is becoming
well known for the programs it offers. For more information about Extending Learning, Leadership North
County, Leader Quest, and the eLearning Center, please

M&M brand capitalizes on seductive myth

Pride Staff Writer
Pledging to help the
earth and the economy
BY TOM COCKING
Pride Staff Writer
In the U.S. and in many areas of the world consumerism
has become one of the main topics discussed. As people
become more environmentally aware they also become
aware of solutions to growing environmental problems
such as waste and pollution. Many of which can be linked
to consumerism. But what may be "desirable" economically may not be "desirable" environmentally.
In a study held by the U.N., known as the Human Development Report, it was said that "Today's consumption is
undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change — not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not
shifting from polluting to cleaner
and production technolgies, not promoting goods
that empower poor producers, not shifting priority from consumption for conspicuous
display to meeting basic
needs — today's problems of consumption and
human development will
worsen." The study also
reveals that the U.S. and
Illustration by Nick Strizver
Europe alone spend billions
of dollars on products, many of which we do not need.
According to the study, U.S. Citizens have spent nearly
eight billion dollars on cosmetics alone and Europe has
spent nearly 11 billion dollars on Ice Cream.
Anup Shah, a writer for globalissues.org, said, "Because
consumption is so .central to many economies, and even
to the current forms of globalization, its effects therefore
are also seen around the world. How we consume, and for
what purposes drives how we extract resources, create
products and produce pollution and waste. Issues relating
to consumption hence also affect environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that
is nearing levels similar to the "official" global poverty
levels."
One solution for the growing amount of consumption
is known as "The Compact." "The Compact" is a growing movement. Those involved pledge to not buy anything new for a year. This means no new clothes, new
cars, new anything. Only the bare essentials like food and
water can be "new." People who take the pledge try to
find used products either online or in local t hrift shops.
Kara McGuire, a reporter for The Star Tribune said, "The
Compact, started by a group of San Francisco friends as a
rebellion against what they see as gluttonous consumerism and its thoughtless destruction of the environment,
turn the notion of consumerism
on its head." So what exactly
is involved in becoming part of The Compact?
Those who wish to be part
of The Compact don't have
to sign any papers or join
any online group, although
one could if one wanted to, but
all a member would have to do
is pledge to themselves that they
will not buy anything* new for
a year and resist the lure of consumerism. Members must not
buy anything new other than the
exceptions of medicine, underwear, cleaning products, and no
limits on food. One of the founders John P e r t y
said, "We never meant to start a movement."
From just a few friends discussing a better way to live
came a movement that now involves more than 8,700
members of online user groups today, according to Star
Tribune and TreeHugger.com. There are 50 user groups
on yahoo from Thailand to Australia and other sites such
as feedthepig.org that also help people budget better
and learn how to better spend money in areas where it
is needed. Sites like TreeHugger.com have many suggestions as to how to be more environmentally aware as well
as how one can help the environment personally.
"What is it about the Green ones?"
Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, there
is still the opportunity to feel as though you're sitting
on cloud nine.. .allegedly. According to varying
rumors spread through word of mouth as
well as the Internet, it is believed
that green M&M's will increase
sexual drive. Mars Company
owner of the M&M's brand,
has gladly capitalized on the
allegation. Although there
is question as to where the
rumor came about, there
is no question about a
Mars Co.'s campaign m
ad to support this J | j
apparent
myth. , J flj
With the increased ¿ f£|ji
sales of these par¿F
ticularly colored ¿Maw
candies
here
oncampus
as well as
other
stores,
popularity for -the new
romantic color has increased. But
what makes the green M&M's the
color of romance? Quotirig the delicious package of green M&M's that
this reporter just finished eating:
"What is it about the green ones?"
One would think that red would
be more likely color to represent
romance as opposed to an earthy
color like green. With an important
notice on the back of every package of green M&M's,
Mars Co. has warned that "consumption of The Green
Ones® may' result
in elevated Romance
Levels."
Along
with
the
"warning," the green
M&M's sexualized
message is backed by
the only female M&M
in the bunch.. .yes, the
Green one. Even though
the green color is said to
make one feel like they're
in lqve, in actuality, all the
colors have the properties to
help you feel the warm & fuzzies. The color isn't the culprit—it is
^ the chocolate. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, which is known to increase
sexual desire. The word "aphrodisiac"
is derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love and lust). But even
though every color of these delicious candies
has the properties to help increase that libido,
the point is that myths like these are f un and
refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that
the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then
again, there is no one out there saying that they
do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to
be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and
find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic
feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the
color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the
phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand."

"The walls between art and engineering exist only in our m inds," said
Dutch engineer Theo Jansen. However, by t aking one lo6k at his work, it

barrier between the machine and the

Pride Staff Writer
This year, for the first time, the
CSUSM Athletic department will host
a 5k race to benefit student athletes. On
May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their
way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in
the Diploma Dash.
Students and runners can register
online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is
$35 the day of the race.
According to the Athletic department,
all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early
morning race, the department set the
race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and
accommodate student's study time.
This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per
age group, and post race festivities to
meet student-athletes and coaches. After
a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end
of the school year and the graduates.

Then in the elite eight, Tennessee will find a way to control the

follow a strict set of rules that
ensure the film is realistic by
restricting the resources the
director has.
Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the
rule concerning the prohibiting
of spectacular events when she
put a car accident in this movie.
However, this incident is crucial
to the film and is the moment
that shakes the viewer.
Lead character, Joachim, j ust
proposed to his girlfriend and is
prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car
strikes him. Though the audience
sees it coming,
a wonderful movie, but the car
crash that links the events is
spectacularly raw.
It opens following Gael Garcia
Bernal's character as he is trying
to get his dog to the hospital. For
the sake of not spoiling the film,
I will not reveal more. However,
the coming crash jolts viewers.
It comes come out of nowhere
and can cause those watching
to shout "Oi! " because it is so
vicious. It is p ainful to watch,
but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the
movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of
what a car crash should be like.

do filmmakers use this
device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve
expensive vehicles slamming
into each other in ways that
create a disproportionate amount
of flames and explosives, such as
in " XXX" and "The Fast and the
Furious."
There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant
something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created
exciting chases. Nowadays, cars
simply slam into each other and
blow up or have giant robots
run right through them. Even a
movie titled "Crash" did not have
exciting car accidents. Based on
a number of movies and their
accidents, foreign filmmakers
are superior in this skill.
The first example comes
from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film
"Amores Perros." The story is
broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

To preserve the context of both
accidents, I will not reveal the
details. However, both of these
films deserve accommodation
for their brutal car incidents.
In both German films, characters unexpectedly meet their
fate with the front of a speeding vehicle. Though the characters experience inexplicable
pain, Tykwer provides footage
that makes viewers feel as if a
truck has bit them. The result is
a bloody mess with the ensuing
silence that perfectly shows the
art of a car crash.

From America's Highways
to a 'Road Trip Nation'
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
It all began in 2001 with three guys who
jUst graduated college and found themselves
frustrated with the output of their education and not quite ready to jump into the real
world. So they bought a recreational vehicle,
maxed out their credit cards, started traveling
and talking to people. The outcome is Road
Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going
strong, RTN representatives found their way
to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New
Zealand road trip.
"We often find even the most successful

Think being out on the open road is what
you need to help you figure it all out? Is there
anyone out there in the world you want to talk
to - someone who has inspired you that you
would like to meet? RTN provides the chance
to do just that. Through one of their RV road
trips with a group, or an "indie trip" with a
few friends, RTN is here to help get you out
there.
Kelli Taylor, another member of RTN,
explains "The more you think you know the
less sure about it all you may be. RTN is about
having genuine experiences in the world and
sharing them."
More information, applications and FAQs
for various trips and grants are available
through RoadTripNation.com. Conditions do
apply, students should take care to evaluate
what grants are available and what is required
of them to obtain funding. Be aware that
grants are paid at the completion of your trip.

Rick Ross "The Boss" is back at
it again. With his sophomore album
Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people
were curious if it would live up to the
enormous hype. Others wondered if
he could even create another record to
top his massive smash hit "Hustlin"'
which was released back in 2006.
Although I believe that no track
on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes
hear "Hustlin"' on the radio, it does
not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his
"A" game this time around.
With his deep bass voice combined
with even deeper and tremendous
beats, this is an album you buy so you
can ride around in your car and bump
your sub-woofers to their mass potential.
Throughout Trilla, some songs will
probably not stick out a whole lot the
first couple of times you listen to them.
Others will immediately catch your
ears and hook you in as new favorites.
Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin
My City," and "The Bos?" are ones
that will most likely be loved from the
moment you hear the first beat.
Another great thing that Rick Ross
has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his
tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as
Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco,
Trick Daddy, and more.
Although all of these artists have
amazing tracks on this album, the
most memorable collaboration on
Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper LiP
Wayne. His guest appearance on the
track "Luxury Tax" is, by far, one of
the best moments on the album.
Overall, Trilla is a star-studded
action packed album that will most
likely be bumping through speakers
for years to come.

Poseidon
BY ROSS LICHTMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Poseidon is a very elegant
restaurant that is set on the
beaches of Del Mar. From
what I saw while eating there,
it is the perfect type of restaurant for everyone. It is a great
place to bring the family,
fancy enough to bring a date,
and hip enough for young
adults to mingle at the bar.
From the moment you step
foot into Poseidon, you notice
the chic bar and eating tables
that surround you. One option
of dining is to have your party
eat around a huge stone fire pit
in the middle of the table. The
environment was very impressive and it gave the impression
that you were eating at a very
expensive five star restaurant.
Although most meals were
a little expensive, it was well
worth the price. Entrees
ranged from delicious seafood
to many different variations
of succulent chicken and pork
chops.
When dining you have the
choices of eating inside, at the
bar, or outside. One of the great
perks about eating outside is
the fact that you are literally
feet away from the beautiful
shores of the Del Mar beaches.
This is especially nice if you
are eating during the sunset
because it is truly a great way
to spend a meal.
The nice thing about the
inside is that it is a lot warmer
and the atmosphere is very
nice. The bar is a great way
to spend the evening drinking with your friends and even
meeting new ones. No matter
where you sit, the service is
excellent and the food is even
better. Top your dinner off
with one of their signature desserts and you will have had a
perfect dinner experience that
you will never forget.

Low turnout
for A SI
elections
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Although many students hold opinions on
how campus leadership could be improved, the
reflection of those opinions did not appear in
this year's voter turn out. Only 838 students
voted for CSUSM's 2007-08 student representation. Last year, 578 students voted for ASI
representatives. The process of electing ASI
representatives has not changed in the past
three years. Each year, voting is conducted
online, one week before spring break. This
year, an email was sent to each student on Wed.
March 22, reminding students to vote online.
Six out of twelve candidates ran unopposed.
Former Student Representative at Large Conrad
Ottey returned for a second term, as Vice President of Marketing. At 584 votes, Ottey collected the highest number of votes compared
to the rest of the candidates. Vice President

Under the stormy clouds, the wedding
party for LGBTA marched on, celebrating the first day of spring with a decadent wedding ceremony. Jay Franklin,
president of CSUSM's LGBTA, headed
the theatrical event on Wed. March 21
that included guest speaker Rodger
D'Andreas-Wahl. Franklin explained,
"The equinox, thefirstday of spring, this
is a time of equal day and equal night.
Full equality is all we seek."
The procession included flower girl
Sheena L. Medina, and two couples Josh
Lovelace and Kevin Chatham, along with
Diana Wong and Rhonalyn Santos. The
wedding party was fancifully dressed in
black tuxedos, and elegant white gowns
with contrasting sneakers. The mock
priest residing over the festive nuptials
was Richard Perez. Onlookers cheered as
the two couples approached the priest, and
switched positions to represent a gay and
a lesbian couple in a wedding ceremony.
Perez, the representative priest, offered a
serene prelude, stating, "Hooray, we are
here to celebrate, to honor, to laugh, to
dance, to be glad because the inevitable

On Tuesday, March 20, two-thirds of San Marcos customers lost power because
a vandal at San Diego Gas and Electricity Co. wrapped an extension cord around
an overhead electrical wire. The power outage lasted almost two hours at CSUSM
and spurred confusion among most students and faculty. Many students left
school for the day, not knowing if or when the power would return. Above, junior

In an effort to prove the relevance of the circumstances and casualties of the war in Iraq, The Progressive
Activist's Network held a demonstration near University Hall on Thursday, March 22. Members of the
Progressive Activist's Network and several supporters lay scattered on the concrete, underneath
white sheets as onlookers passed by. March 19,2007 marked the four year anniversary of the war in
Iraq. Above (left), Sgt. Clayton Anderson of the Marine Corps observes the demonstration

to settle the remaining issues and
avoid using the impacts of any
potential job actions on students. It
is counterproductive to talk about
strike dates and locations while
the process is still continuing."
On Wed. March 25, President
Karen Haynes and ASI President
Roy Lee held a student forum in
the President's Boardroom. Some
students voiced their concern to
Dr. Haynes and Lee regarding the
potential CFA strike.
When Dr. Haynes learned that
94% of the CFA voted to go on
strike, she said she was "not surprised, understanding that the faculty need to continue to advocate
for what they believe is a fair compensation package."
One student told Dr. Haynes
that she could make a difference
by looking at the CFA and CSU
situation in a different way in
order to find a solution to the problem. The student said, "If you look
at it differently, as a student body
president, do you realize that you
can make a name for yourself that
would be national? It's an opportunity to redefine the problem in a
different way." Dr. Haynes replied
by stating that there are significant constraints to the unionized
environment and that the ability to
provide compensation is removed.
"There are eleven unions in the
system," Dr. Haynes said. "[In] all
of them, professional, technical,
and service employees, in all of
them, there are clear constraints.
Administrators in a system like
this are simply outside of the conversation. My excitement is going
to be directed toward making this
campus the best we can and not
trying to change a 420,000 student and 23 campus union environment that is funded by the
legislature." Dr. Haynes also mentioned how the system can change
in order to avoid the current situation. Dr. Hayens said, "It starts
with electing officials who are pro
education."
Patricia Worden, Vice President
of Student Affairs, told concerned
students that she would be emailing all students should CSUSM's
faculty go on strike. CSUSM's
homepage will continue to offer
updated information on the condition of the CFA and CSU.
princess, and we want the Disney
marriage package. But one of my
concerns is that marriage reinforces
some very traditional gender and
sexuality binaries that are not necessarily inclusive of all LGBTA
people."
Franklin also invited the audience to attend another event,
"The Constitution and the Judge."
Franklin handed out copies of
pocket Constitutions and packs of
red, white and blue seed packets,
and said, "The seeds that are provided are so that you can sew the
seeds of democracy in your own
backyards." The event on the following day hosted Superior Court
Judge David RubinfromSan Diego
County. Rubin discussed marriage

to quickly and easily create bibliMyBib allows users to create
ographies. The website claims to bibliographies in MLA format
which are alphabetized and formatted for printing.
MyBibPro allows users to
create bibliographies in MLA and
APA formats. The online product
also offers easier citation of books
through a database consisting of
18 million entries, an option to
upload saved database citations,
access parenthetical citation and
footnote support, and store multiple lists in a personal account
which can be accessed from any
location as well as a customer support response within 36 hours of
an original inquiry.
MyBib requires users to manually enter each piece of information of data to generate a bibliography in MLA format such as
author and year of publication.
The task can be tedious. However,
the formatting done by the website ensures a perfect bibliography
in MLA format.
MyBibPro requires users to
merely enter the title while the
website generates the remaining
pieces of information needed to
complete a bibliography in MLA
and or APA format.
Another benefit of utilizing
EasyBib is saving time and energy.
The website claims to reduce the
time required for creating bibliographies by as little as half, and
as much as two-thirds. During a
test run on Stephan R. Covey's
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," a conclusion could
be made on the ease and swiftness
provided by MyBib. The required
information was manually entered
and with the click of a button a
proper bibliography was reproduced in MLA format and ready
for direct printing.
EasyBib seems to be the perfect
solution for a complete and correct bibliography. Managing multiple sources, collecting relevant
and correct information, and producing an accurate bibliography
are a must with all of the required
papers at CSUSM. Although
CSUSM library's homepage offers
adequate and efficient information on creating and citing sources
in MLA, APA, and other formats
all Cougars should be aware of,
EasyBib can also be easily utilized to ensure truthful and proper
bibliographies.

is nothing like a wander around its ancient, the church of San Luigi dei Francesi: "The
Calling of St Matthew," "The Inspiration of
Saint Matthew" and "The Martyrdom of
Saint Matthew." I also went on the Bernini
trail; his wonderful sculptures are everywhere. In fact, it seems that around every
corner there lurks another masterpiece,
which brings me to another great aspect of
the city: signposts. Little black signposts are
all over the place pointing this way and that:
"Trevi fountain this way ...the Pantheon
this way..." you are absolutely cocooned

San Pietro in Vaticano (St. Peters Basilica),
along with the Sistine Chapel in Vatican
City is something that everyone should
experience; it is a massive expanse of
unimaginable beauty, and if you pop down
on a Sunday, you will have a backdrop of
beautiful, angelic hymns to accompany the
sumptuous feast for the eyes.
Rome is a grand place to visit any time
of the year. I am more inclined to suggest the cooler months, just because it is
less congested, however, the weather may
not be the best. During a recent December trip there I got rained on rather badly.
And, as luck had it, I was on a long walk
to find the "Bocca Delia Verità," a large,
round sculpture of a face with the famous
"Mouth of Truth." The sculpture's name
seems appropriate because it was widely
believed at the time of its creation that if
a liar was to put their hand in its mouth it
would be bitten off! Apparently I am not
a liar as my hand came out unscathed so
it all turned out well, despite the pouring
rain. Indeed, it was quite a f un evening
after all, as at thé Boca Delia I met up
with a fellow traveler and we had a great
time exchanging travel stories as we
walked through the pouring rain beside
the ancient Circus Maximus. I have many
fond memories of Rome; it really is an
enchanting place and I fully believe that,
regardless of whether you visit to embrace
history and art, or simply relax and sip
cappuccinos, you are bound to fall in love
with the Eternal City.

Jock Talk With Josh
New opportunities this Spring
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff WriterI love my
family, but I
considered disowning them
after what happened to me this
Spring Break.
The Friday
that school let
put I went to Lo$ Angeles for
the weekend. I came back to
San Diego on Sunday. I then left
on Tuesday to Tucson, Arizona
with my grandparertts to visit"
family and go to baseball spring
training.
11:30AM on Tuesday March
27,2007: We stop in Yuma, Arizona to gas up and get something
to eat. My phone rings while I 'm
eating. I don't pick up the phone
because I don't recognize the
number, and it's too loud in the
restaurant to hear. The mystery
number leaves a message. /
Noon: I jump into the driver's
seat of my car, grab my phone
and listen to the message. My
grandparents begin to chatter.
"Hi my name i s -—-- and I am
with the San Diego Padres Marketing department," the message starts.
"Oh shit, please be quiet," I
yell t omy grandparents.
The me§sage goes on. "I would
like to s et up an interviewrwith
you on Wednesday or Thursday.
Please call me back as soon as
you can."^
3
Ì2:Ì5PM: "Hi — , this is
Joshua Sandoval returning your
call. I am actually in Yuma, Arizona on my way to spring training in Tucson, Arizona so I can't
make a Wednesday or Thursday
meeting. Please give me a call
back so we can set u p something, because I would iove to
meet with you."
12:30PM: Back, on the road
to Tucson. There are 40 MPH
winds bursting across the freeway. We have been in the middle
of dust storms for most of the
t rip thus far. The phone rings.
It's the call I've been waiting for
all my life. I need to devote my
full attention towards this call,
so I pull over to the side of the
road and answer,
s "Hello?" "Hi, this is — with the San
Diego Padres. We want you
to come in on Wednesday or
Thursday for an interview."
"I'm- actually on my way to
spring training as we speak. I'm
coming back to San Diego on
Friday?'
"O.K. well how about Monday
at 1PM at the Main offices at 100
Park Boulevard?"
"Monday at 1PM sounds
great," I gratefully agree to.
I love my grandparents and I
love my family in Tucson, but if
the Padres said the interview had
to be on Wednesday or Thursday
then I would have turned the car
right around.
3:16AM on Wednesday March
28, 2007: I can't sleep. Every
time I pass out, I dream about
working for the Padres and suddenly wake up. This is all that
has been on my mind since I got
the call.
10:08AM: I get a text message
from Karin telling me she has a
court side ticket to the Clippers
game for me. She knows I'm out
of town, but decides to rub it in
anyway.
10:09AM: "I love my family...
I love my family," I have to keep
repeating this to myself so that I
don't jump in my car and drive
to Los Angeles. Luckily it's only
the Clippers. If it was a court
side ticket to a Lakers game
I would ditch my family and
would ask Jack Nicholson to be
my new Uncle.
I haven't been out of San
Diego for 24 hours and I've
already delayed My opportunity
of becoming a Padre and sitting
r
f
courtside at a Clippers game.
11:00AM: My Uncle Ray buys
me a new suit.
1:00PM: My uncie, grandpa
and I go to the Diamondbacks
and White Sox game. D-baeks
win 8-0.
6:45PM: I win $100 playing
blackjack at a casino in Tucson.
I'm starting to feel better about
being in Tucson. I no longer have
to convince myself that I really
do love my family. I really have
had some great opportunities in
life thanks in part to my family.
B y the time this article comes
out, my interview will be over.
Who knows if I will be a Padre
by then?r Either way, I can't
believe some of the things I have
been able to accomplish with the
help of CSUSM and my family.
I have worked with the "San
Diego Union-Tribune," "Associated Press," as^a scout for a
sports agent, toured with standup comedians and.now maybe a
job with the San Diego Padres.
I may be getting a little sappy
as the wind stretch of my college
days are nearing* but it's hard to
put into words how grateful I
am to my family at home and at
CSUSM.

Coverage of the Goodguys 7th
Annual Del Mar Nationals Car Show
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Rumbles and purrs sounded, the distinct
whine of a supercharger a clarion call in
the crisp spring air tinged with the mingled
aromas of kettle corn, falafel, burgers and
dogs. Sunny with blue skies and a cool
breeze, it was a perfect day for the Goodguys 7th Del Mar Nationals, held at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds. Hours later a fog bank
threatened to encroach upon the festivities,
but nothing would deter the thousands of
car enthusiasts from their yearly pilgrimage.
Hot steel juxtaposed against a backdrop
of Spanish mission architecture, an abundance of autos
stock and
^H^^^^^SL
modified, classics and kit cars - abounded,
their jewel box hues a dazzling sight to
behold. Candy, fire-engine and crimson
reds mingled with rides of teal blue, glittering gold and Dreamsicle orange.
In the O'Brien Hall, the elite hot rods
cooled their tires in the cavernous space,
contestants for the coveted Goodguys
Street Rod d'Elegance award. They glistened under artificial lighting, while
their less privileged yet still breathtak- •
ing brethren dazzled in the sunlight. I
Nearby, the Bing Crosby Hall housed !
the hundreds of vendors selling everything from custom headers to neon signs
boasting retro images from the 1950s.
For the kids, Goodguys offered a free
model make-n-take on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Kids could build their own model cars and
keep them as souvenirs. For the adults, there
I were how-to seminars from respected hot
I rod builders and a meet and greet with
hot-rod builderThom Taylor,
•jk^
More vendors hawked
H P H f e ^ their wares outside as
H ^ H H k jubilant drivers cruised
H I down the Del Mar
HpNationals
"Cruisin'
B H P R F Lanes" in their cool creations. Barry Meguiar, host
of Meguiar's "Car Crazy" television
show, seemed omnipresent, his camera crew
trailing behind as he sought
out the hottest rides
of the show.

Fifty, Youngguys, and a showcase of woodies - for the uninitiated, these vehicles have
bodies that are partially made of wood
- called Good Wood. On display in a Spanish-style courtyard complete with bubbling
fountain, the collection of woodies basked
in the sunlight, decked out with surfboards
and vanity license plates, while a live band
played nearby.
Meanwhile, thousands of car enthusiasts
HBBP^
p erused
H p i ^ ^ ^ the fantastic array of
^
wares offered by the various vendors
and exclaimed over their favorite vehicles,
while munching happily on traditional
fair fare. The sheer diversity of attendees
proved that one can never be too young or
too old to appreciate the allure of the auto.
Families, small children in tew, couples,
groups of girls, and gaggles of guys all paid
their money to see the show. Whether clad
in casual jeans and t-shirts, raring to go in
rockabilly, all dolled up as r etr| pinup kittens, or sporting cowboy boots | jid cowboy
hats while cruising in a whii§ Cadillac,
show-goers had one thing in common - a
love for cars. The magnetic power of the
hotrod does not discriminate.

Historic Tukwut
courtyard dedication
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, March 2, without a cloud in the sky, occasional
cool breezes, and the sun shining
warmly and brightly, the courtyard
near Cougar Central was officially
dedicated as Tukwut Courtyard.
The beautiful day marked not only
a new beginning, but also a continuation of Luiseno Tribal relations that
began with the University's first
class in 1990.
Bonnie Biggs, professor emeritus and tribal liaison to Cal State
San Marcos, said, 'Today represents the closing of the circle." She
said that the University decided to
honor the Luiseno people by seeking out a Native word to serve as an
unofficial mascot After Tukwut,
the Luiseno word for mountain
lion, (pronounced "took-woot")
was given to Cal State San Marcos,
it was only used intermittently and
inconsistently. "Today," Biggs continued, "the student leaders of2006
and 2007 also choose to honor the
indigenous people of this land as
evidenced by their successful advocacy to rename this courtyard."
The
dedication
ceremony
included a dedication prayer from
Pauma Band Chairman Chris
Devers, who also sang a traditional
Luiseno song with his son, Chris
Devers Jr. and nephew Gene Dixon.

professions where words like integrity, duty, honor and valor are a part
of the job descriptioa It truly is a
calling. One of the things that's different about law enforcement is, is
that you need to have those qualities
in your off duty life as well as your
on duty life. This isn't a job where
you come to work for eight hours."
He added, "We call ourselves public
Monday March 5, 2007,
the CSUSM Writing Center
begins offering assistance
through online tutoring. The
new program is available to
all CSUSM students, and
works similar to the in person
appointments offered. Like all
WC services, the online tutoring is free as well. The center
is located in Kellogg 1103, and
is open from Monday through
Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I n response to the question,
what inspired this program,
the director of the writing
center since 2005, Erin Goldin
responded, "Many university
writing centers already offer
online tutoring. This campus
is mostly known as a commuter campus, so many students can't make their way to
the writing center for tutoring.
This way, busy students can
still get help."
Now easier than ever, asking
for advice about any class
paper is achievable in four
simple steps through online
tutoring. Access the Writing Center website, answer
a few simple questions about
the assignment like when is
it due, what class is it for, and
the instructions for the assignment. Next, attach your document, and wait for a response.
Writing consultants suggest
putting "as much information
as possible in response to the
questions when submitting
online for optimum feedback."
Most responses will take three
to four business days depending on how busy the consultants are.
Goldin still recommends
making an appointment to
come in whenever possible
because it can be "more productive to come in arid spend
thirty minutes. The more
interaction there is, the more
information and feedback the
student receives." Students
can make appointments online of walk-in anytime to
check for available time slots.
The center also offers workshops on a variety of different
topics every Tuesday during
university hour in University
Hall? room 440.
The CSUSM center opened
in 1991 and since then has
helped numerous students

Chris Devers lights sage during the Tukwut Courtyard dedication ceremony. Burning s age is a Luiseno
tradition to protect the area and ward off evil spirits.
Dixon also burned sage, a Luiseno
tradition intended to protect the area
and ward off evil spirits. Wayne
Nelson and two others from the La
Jolla Reservation also sang a traditional Luiseno song to commemorate the occasion.
About ten Indian speakers spoke
during the ceremony which around
100 students, faculty, administration and Luiseno people, including
students from a nearby tribal charter school, attended. Each speaker
was thankful for the acknowledg-
ment and recognition extended to
them by the renaming of the courtyard.
Chris Devers said, "This is traditional Luiseno territory, and with
the name ofthe Tukwut, I commend
the student body for continuing to
acknowledge that"
Patty Duro, Rincon Band
Member, said, "Ifs a pleasure to be
here and to have our people and our
language recognized here."
Hunwut Turner, Rincon Band
Member and Director of the Rincon
Education Center, spoke specifically to the younger Indian students
and current students of CSUSM
saying, "When they do think about
this courtyard, the Tukwut courtyard, they [should] say it loud and
strong and proud, and that's what
we should all be— proud to be
Luiseno."
University President Karen S.
Haynes also spoke and greeted the
audience by saying hello and welSee TUKWUT, page 3
ASI and Intervarsity reach out to local migrant workers
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
With warm smiles, firm handshakes, and peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches in tow, CSUSM
students met local migrant workers on Saturday in Encinitas.
CSUSM's Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and ASI partnered up to execute the event,
which drew 40 students to feed
local migrant workers and listen
Writing

new online
tutoring
service
to their stories.
The day started at 8 a m. in
Commons 201. 40 students huddled around one table to slop
grape jelly onto white bread and
spread peanut butter with plastic
knives.
3 y 8:45, the large group of students divided into two groups.
The students divided the Spanish
speakers between both groups.

From WORKERS, page 1
. One group of students carpooled
to a grassy hill on the corner of
Manchester and Rancho Santa
Fe in Encinitas. The other group
of students arrived at the Home
Depot on the corner of Luecadia and El Camino Real. At both
sites, migrant workers are known
to stand on the sidewalk and wait
for strangers to hire them for
work.
Before the students left to meet
the workers, A nne Skidmore of
Intervarsity said, " They'll tell
you about people who will hire
them for work and t hey'll paint
their house all day long and then
t hey'll say, they don't pay us
and will drop u s o ff." Skidmore
encouraged the students to be
open with the workers. " They're
not u sedtd being treated well by
the community. These guys have
amazing stories. Most of them
are open to share and t alk." .
When the students l eft Commons, ASI's Director of Community Service Sherry Brideau
loaded her white Honda with
plastic bags f ull of peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches, bananas,
apple juice, orange j uice, nature
valley bars and water. Brideau
arrived at the Home Depot site
with about 20 students to meet
Intervarsity's Ramiro Marchena
and the workers. But once the
students parked and gathered, a
security guard approached them.
The security guard told Brideau
that she would have to park her car
across the street, in the Encinitas
Ranch Town Center because her
car contained the food for the
workers.
Once Brideau parked across
the street, students met her t o
carry the plastic bags f ull of food
and the gallons of orange juice.
In the time it took for students t o
walk across the street, a Sheriff
arrived at the Home Depot. The
Sheriff had arrested one of the
workers. If any of the men are to
step beyond the unmarked line
that separates the sidewalk f rom
the parking lot, they could be
immediately arrested. Marchena
suggested that the students tell
the Sheriff what they were h ere
t o do. Once the Sheriff knew, students walked u p to the migrant
workers, let them know that they
were students f rom CSUSM and
asked if they wanted anything to
eat or d rink. One student said to
a worker whom he had j ust given
a sandwich to, "Poco Espanol."
The man replied, "Poco English."
At this, each young man shrugged
and smiled.
The Spanish speakers of the
group were able t o hold longer
conversations with the men,
which o ften resulted in both parties bursting into friendly laughter. Freshman Katelyn Aceves
said, "I thought it was really
rewarding to come catch them
o ff guard and they let u s in and
told u s about their stories." Freshman Jenna Spada said, "I liked it
because I can speak a little Spanish and I could understand a little
of what they were saying. They
were really f un and easy t o talk
to." One of the men told Spada
that when a local bank across
the street had been robbed, the
police immediately questioned
the men. Spada said that the man
she was speaking to said, "They
might have thought it looked like
me but I would have never done
something like that."
Students also gave flyers to
the workers that Intervarsity provided with information on a tutoring center in San Marcos where
their children could be tutored.
The flyer also included information of a church in Solana Beach
that holds Spanish masses.
Most of the workers the students interacted with were f rom
Oaxaca. Junior Leo Carillo said,
"They were saying that i t's
tough to get a j ob— sometimes
you get work, sometimes you
don't. They come here for food;
they're very impoverished. They
cross the border in harsh conditions. They make a living and
leave their families behind. So
many people blame migrants for
coming here j ust for the benefits.
But how can they [get] benefits
like health care, if citizens can't
even get i t?" Carillo added, " In
reality they are people who want
t o help."
I n j ust 40 minutes, a fter most
students had enough time t o talk
with the men, the border patrol
showed u p for the man who had
been arrested. Some of the men,
however, sprinted into the street
in spite of the opposing t raffic t o
avoid the border patrol. Sophomore Herminia Ramirez said,
"One particular thing that stood
out t o me is that as the men saw
the other guy being arrested and
they were telling me that it made
them angry because the action of
one guy reflects on the others."
Ramirez added, "I asked them if
they were treated well, and they
said for the most p art it is very
p eaceful except when the minute
men are there. The minute men
t ry t o pull them over a certain
line so that they will get arrested.
They also told me that there was
one time where three gangsters
came and stole their valuables,
and the security guard did nothing."
The event itself inspired ASI
and Intervarsity t o recruit more
students t o serve these men more
o ften. Marchena said, "There's a
Catholic organization t hatreaches
out t o migrant workers and the
homeless. We need t o see how
we can fit in with t hem— how we
can do this more consistently, at
least once a month. You kinda get

to know the people and b e of service t o them. A nd then it impacts
us." Briedeau said, "Community
service in general is very important because it enhances you as a
person, and your college experience. You are putting yourself
aside and serving others, which
we tend to forget in today's society."
R amirez a dded, " I loved participating in t his event b ecause

"Rather than making the correction for the student, students
still do the work, but receive

�Website of the Week
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
The Invisible Children website is the
ongoing product of a film whose purpose is to educate and expose individuals
everywhere to the hideous cycle of violence occurring in Africa. When three
young Americans (Jason Russell, Bobby
Bailey, and Lauren Poole) equipped with
a camera, sought out for excitement in
Africa— the only excitement they found
were the sounds of children being captured during the night, and forced into
the life of a child soldier. According to
Jason, Bobby and Lauren, this nightmare was not their initial idea of a filmmaking adventure, but the three friends
found themselves "stranded in Northern
Uganda" and dedicated their time in there
to "exposing this tragic and amazingly
untold story."
Whilst the majority of 8 year-olds in
the United States are gluing macaroni to
a piece of construction paper and sprinkling glitter across the page, children as
young as 8 in Uganda are systematically
being kidnapped from their homes by a
rebel group called the "Lord's Resistance
Army"(LRA). A gun or rifle replaces
what should be a book or a pen, and
according to the website, the children are
"then desensitized to the horror of brutal
violence and killing, as they themselves
are turned into vicious fighters." A few
number of children are able to escape,
however, the majority of the children
[m/lÚblt
remain in LRA for the remainder of their
lives, only experiencing life through fighting in guerilla warfare. The film "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," follows what
the community has named "night commuters" as children "commute" during
the night, from their villages to different towns in fear of being kidnapped.
The film concentrates on 4 boys: Jacob,
Thomas, Tony, and Boni, according the
website, "through their eyes, we relive
the terror of abduction, courage of survival, the heartbreak of losing a brother,
and the innate joy— found only in a
child." Because of their time in Uganda,
the filmmakers decided to share this film
and "inspire others, as it did them"; thus
began the movement that is called Invisible Children.
Due to the LRA, 250,000 boys and
girls receive no education in Northern
Uganda; only 30% of the schools are still
functioning, but are overcrowded. Invisible Children offers a program called
"The Education Program," where "Visible Child Scholarship provides fullride scholarships and full-time Ugandan
mentors for war-affected children." In
the ICEP (Invisible Children Education
Program), each child is provided with a
mentor who aids the child not solely for
academic reasons, but to provide "careeroriented guidance, encourage success,
and foster leadership success." There are
currently 436 ICEP scholarship beneficiaries and 15 mentors. The "Schools for
Schools" is a program that is much more
like a competition, for schools across the
United States to raise money to help build
schools in Northern Uganda. Schools are
urged to come up with different fund-raising ideas and compete with other schools
for the grand prize - a trip to Uganda to
help build a school with the money that
was raised.
According to the website, "the entire
area of Northern Uganda has been ravaged by this 20-year-long war. Roughly
95% of the people in Northern Ugandan
districts forced to evacuate their homes
are now living in camps, earning no
monetary income, and living in absolute
poverty." Invisible Children also started
the "Bracelet Campaign," which allows
Famous scientist Carl Sagan once said,
"We live in a society exquisitely dependent
on science and technology, in which hardly
anyone knows anything about science and
technology." Cal State San Marcos requires
students to know at least a little about technology. It is called the computer competency requirement, and all baccalaureate
students, irrespective of major, must fulfill
this requirement before their third semester here at San Marcos or their records will
be placed on hold, and they will be unable
to register.
The computer competency requirement,
or CCR, can now be fulfilled in a couple
of ways: either by taking a class that satisfies the requirement, or by taking the test.
However, beginning in Fall 2008, classes
will no longer be an acceptable means of
satisfying the requirement. Mary Atkins,
CCR coordinator, said, "This was a policy
change approved by the Faculty Senate on
the recommendation of the General Education Committee's Computer Competency
Requirement subcommittee."
The CCR website goes into more detail
about the test, which classes satisfy the
requirement, and provides study material
and the exam schedule. It can be found
here: www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr.
The CCR test is divided into four different sections: computer ethics, the Internet, basic word processing proficiency, and
basic spreadsheet concepts proficiency.
The computer ethics section tests individuals' understanding of software copyright,
Northern Ugandans living in camps a
way to earn money. The bracelets are
hand-made from reed and recycled wire,
and sold in the United States; the money
that is raised from the campaign goes
back into the Invisible Children Education Program. These programs function
in a self-supporting manner and support themselves because of the numerous movements that have been set up to
support each other and raise awareness
to help the people of Northern Uganda in
their struggle to survive.

copyright infringement and protection,
software piracy, and computer viruses. The
Internet section tests students on using the
Internet to obtain information. The word
processing proficiency section discovers
if students can use basic features within
Microsoft Word. The spreadsheet section
tests students on using basic features in
Microsoft Excel.
Students may take the CCR test as many
times as it takes to pass it. Atkins said,
"There is no penalty for taking the exam
multiple times." The exam itself can take
anywhere from 2-3 hours. Students may
take the exam on Mondays and Wednesdays 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in University Hall
room 273, and on Fridays and Saturdays
from 10:00 or 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 or 2:30
p.m. (respectively) in Academic Hall room
202. Students need to bring a picture ID, a
print/copy card with approximately $2 on
it and something to write with. Print/copy
cards are available to purchase in Kellogg
Library.
There is no time limit on the test, and
there is no need for students to complete
all four sections at the same time. Students must score 75% or better to pass the
test. The sections are graded separately,
that way if a student fails one section, he
or she needs only to retake that section,
instead of the entire test. No appointment
is needed. Scores are posted on SMART
Web within each student's profile.

NHL Trade Results, it's anyone's game
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
After the National Hockey
League's trade deadline expired
on February 27, a lot questions
have been answered. With a
record tying 25 trades at the
deadline involving 44 players and
26 draft picks being exchanged
between 27 of the 30 NHL teams.
The trade deadline also makes the
playoff picture become clearer.
With six teams in the Eastern
Conference pretty much guaranteed in the playoffs come April,
four of them were active at the
deadline. The Eastern Conference leader, Buffalo Sabres
traded backup goalie Martin
Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers,
putting the weight on 2nd year
goalie Ryan Miller to carry the
remaining load and team through
the playoffs. The Sabres also
acquired Danius Zubrus from the
Washington Capitals in a move
that gives the team depth to a
long list of injured forwards.
The Southeast Division leader,
Tampa Bay Lightning made several silent moves acquiring Shane
O'Brien, Jason Ward and Karl
Stewart. These additions give
Tampa Bay depth in their defense
and much needed toughness.
The Pittsburgh Penguins added
veteran Gary Roberts from Florida, which will give this young
team a talented veteran forward
who will be able impact the
team's top two lines. The Penguins also acquired tough guy
Georges Laroque from the Phoenix Coyotes. Laroque adds lots of
toughness to the team that needs
to protect their young sensations
in Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
and Jordan Stall.
The Atlanta Thrashers made a
bold move acquiring veteran forward Keith Tkachuk in hopes to
rejuvenate a struggling offense.
Tkachuk will give the Thrashers
another talented player who will
join a team that already has a list
of great players.
With only two spots remaining out of the eight-playoff spots
in the Eastern Conference, these
four teams made adjustments in
hopes of giving their team the
advantage over the other.
The New York Islanders
brought a shock to the hockey
world as they received Edmonton
Oilers fan favorite, Ryan Smyth.
Smyth gave the Oiler fans a
tearful goodbye, which brought
flashbacks to 1988 in Edmonton, when the Oilers traded the
Great One, Wayne Gretzky, to
LA. This move gives the Islanders the upper hand over the other
three teams.
The defending Stanley Cup
Champions, Carolina Hurricanes
added Anson Carter in hopes
of Carter regaining the 33-goal
touch that he had the previous
season in Vancouver.
The Toronto Maple Leafs
added center Yanic Perreault
to the team who will provide a
gritty, strong face-off man. The
last team in the race would be
the Montreal Canadians who
appeared to pull themselves out
of the race as they traded veteran defensemen Josh Gorges
for a d raft pick and a prospective player who cojild help the
team later down the road when
he makes the pros.
In the Western Conference,
the Nashville Predators acquired
Flyers captain Peter Forsberg.
Forsberg was looked at as the
biggest name on the market at the
deadline, and it cost the Predators two young talented prospects and a first and third round
pick. Forsberg finishes the miss-
ing pieces needed in the Nashville lineup, as they were looking for a talented forward who
could make an impact on their
team, and Forsberg should do
that as long as he stays healthy.
Not far behind the Predators in
the standings is the Detroit Red
Wings who acquired Todd Bertuzzi from the Florida Panthers.
Bertuzzi is currently hurt but
should be joining the Red Wings
prior to the playoffs. Bertuzzi
could give the Red Wings that
extra edge in a playoff series
with his scoring and playmaking
ability.
The San Jose Sharks added
veteran forward Bill Guerin
from the St. Louis Blues. Guerin
gives the Sharks another scorer
who should fit right in with last
years MVP Joe Thornton.
The Blues gained three prospects, two first round picks,
and one second and third round
pick by trading both Tkachuk
and Guerin. And if both these
players return to St. Louis at the
end of the season, St. Louis will
be looking at this deadline as a
great way to rebuilding a team
that once made it to the Stanley
Cup Playoffs 25 times in a row.
The Dallas Stars were able
to add long time Kings captain
Mattis Norstrom. Norstrom give
the Stars a talented veteran blue
liner who has great leadership.
Also added prior to the deadline was forward Ladislav Nagy.
Nagy could be a great pick for
the Stars if Nagy can regain the
scoring capability he had in past
seasons.
The biggest shock of them all
was how the Pacific Division
leader, Anaheim Ducks failed to
acquire a steady defense and a
big named forward for the Cory
Perry and Ryan Getzlaf line.
The Ducks failure to acquire
a big name player allows the
other Western Conference teams
to strengthen themselves and
better prepare themselves for
when they face the Ducks in the
playoffs.
For the teams that knew they
were going to the playoffs, they
choose to buy while those who
were already out decided to sell
their players for their futures.
There can only be one Stanley
Cup Champion, which means 29
losers who will be rebuilding for
next year. One thing is for sure;
it is anyone's game.

Dublin's Temple Bar
the often rainy Irish day. Starting
out from Temple Bar, the heavily
trafficked Ha'Penny Bridge takes
you across the river Liffey to the
bustling shopping areas streets of
the north, and O'Connell Street,
Dublin's main thoroughfare.
O'Connell St. is a busy street
lined with department stores,
magnificent statues and, if you
are feeling too lazy to walk, you
can grab a local bus or sightseeing tour. However, my suggestion
is that you walk, walk, and walk!
Dublin is a very compact city and
you can reach many attractions
by foot.
One place that is worth a visit,
on, is Trinity College. The illuminated manuscript "Book of
Kells" is housed here, and is truly
breathtaking, as is the extensive
library. Ireland is famous for
its contributions to literature:
indeed both the Dublin writers
and James Joyce Museums are superb. How- i
ever, as a big Oscar 1
Wilde fan, I was keen A
to see the Wilde house.
The house itself is part

I have some ethical questions
for you.
Here is the situation first.
Vladimir Radmanovic of the
Los Angeles Lakers is making
5.2 million dollars this season.
He loves to snowboard, which
can be a dangerous sport. So
the Lakers put it into his contract that he isn't allowed to
snowboard while under contract with the team.
Turns out, the Lakers were
right
about
Radmanovic
because he separated his shoulder while snowboarding during
the all-star break. He initially
lied about it, because he knew
he would face punishment if
the team found out. Shortly
after living the lie he made like
George Washington and told the
Lakers what happened. They
quickly answered back with a
500,000 dollar fine because he
violated his contract and will
miss two months.
My question, is it right for
the Lakers to say he can't do a
certain thing that he's passionate about? I mean, in what other
industry do you see it written
into a contract that you aren't
allowed to do certain types of
extra curricular activities? Radmanovic could've just as easily
separated his shoulder taking
the trash to the bottom of the
driveway.
I know the team is just trying
to cover its butt from having
to pay an injured player who
(August 22 - September
c
a
œ
isn't contributing to a team, but
what's 500,000 thousand to a
multi-million dollar franchise. It
may seem a lot to you and me,
but Lakers owner Jerry Buss
cleans his hands with 100 dollar
bills.
It gets to the point where athletes are no longer looked at as
regular human beings because
they make millions of dollars.
I for one know that when I'm
a millionaire one day I'm still
probably going to be the same
goofball that I am now and will
partake in the same activities
that I do now.
What if someone told you
that you couldn't do one of your
favorite activities anymore? I
can just imagine someone telling
me one day that I shouldn't play
basketball anymore because I
may sprain a wrist and wouldn't
be able to type.
The way that I look at it is that
you make your own decisions
and you should live with them.
You may think Radmanovic is
stupid for snowboarding when
he was specifically told not to,
but I think he's bad and not bad
as in bad, but bad as in good. He
is living his life, doing the things
that he wants to do.
Here's another question for
you? Would you have lied like
Radmanovic originally did or
would you have come clean right
away like he eventually did?
I don't know what I would do.
It's-hard to say unless you're in
the actual situation, but I have
a feeling I probably would have
done what he did.
I know most people think the
exact opposite of what I've said
so far, but I commend Radmanovic. His soul can't be completely bought just because he
can shoot a basketball. Apparently, he's one of those rare athletes who is still human.

those who have never t ried such
a house salad, it is perfectly

romaine lettuce, chopped red

Though there are dozens of
custom made rolls available
only at Matsuo's, there are a
select few of my favorite rolls
that j ust melt in your mouth.
The first roll I started with is
my all-time favorite, the MC
roll. The MC roll is comprised
of a California roll baked with a
special sauce and cream cheese
on top. Nothing else dissolves
so b eautifully upon the first bite
as the MC roll. Next up was the
Monkey Stick roll. The Monkey
Stick is made up of spicy t una,

Beer of the Week
Karl Strauss Amber Lager
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
"Evil Blue Thing," my friend
said as I resumed my seat next
to her at the bar. "Yeah,
but what's it called," I
responded, pointing to the
brilliant blue libation in her
hand. She j ust giggled, and
I realized that The Evil Blue
Thing was already working
its malevolent magic. The
beverage seemed to glow
with impish potential.
Sinfully sweet, but not
saccharinely so, the Evil
Blue Thing goes down
smooth, feels warm and
creamy on the tongue, and
leaves a pleasant aftertaste
in one's mouth. Like many
mixed drinks, the pure enjoyment of drinking distracts
from the fact that one is consuming generous amounts
of alcohol, so the Evil Blue
Thing can easily live up to
its name if the drinker is
innocent and allows him or
herself to get tricked by the
Thing's wicked charms. That
said, the Evil Blue Thing can
be a pleasurable companion if
one is savvy and enjoys sweet
(shocking blue) cocktails.
To make your very own Evil
Blue Thing, combine 1 1/2
ounce creme de cacao, 1 ounce
Blue Curacao liqueur, and 1/2
ounce white rum in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir,
serve, and enjoy!

Not far from our campus is
one of San Diego's gems, a Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
has grown to become the largest distributing microbrewery
company based in Southern California. The company's first Karl
Strauss Brewery Restaurant, in
Downtown San Diego, opened to
the public on February 2,1989. In
1999, the company installed new
brewery equipment, which more
than tripled the brewing capacity at their downtown location. In
addition, the company opened a
new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad. Karl Strauss brews eight
types of beer year-round. The
Amber Lager was their featured
beer while my friends and I were
at the brewery.
A few weeks ago a good friend
of mine was turning 23, and my #
friends and I were contemplating
where to celebrate such an occasion. We sat around throwing out
ideas. Then, I looked down at the
beer in my hand and read "Karl
Strauss." I knew at that moment
where we would be feasting that
evening.
Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurants are a perfect combination
for a f un night out. Not only were
we served delicious food, but we
also had a variety of delicious
beers that were brewed in the restaurant. By the end of the evening
my memory was not functioning
at f ull capacity, but there was one
beer that stuck in my memory; it
was the Amber Lager.
This beer is copper
in color with a
slight sweetness
that
Cascade
hops provide. It
is a lager, so it is
fermented at cold
temperatures,
which
provides
for a very smooth
finish. The amber
lager complements
almost any food.
We enjoyed an
array of their appetizers, which were
all delicious with the
Amber Lager.
The Amber Lager
is Master Brewer Karl
Strauss's favorite beer
and is available yearround on draught, sixpack or case. You can
find it almost everywhere locally in San
Diego. Most restaurants and bars will have
it on tap. Also, most
grocery stores and Beverages and More carry
it. But I recommend head-
ing up to the brewery. If you are
with your friends or on a date, it
is good spot to have a good time
and enjoy great beer. For more

THE PRIDE
'"~JULIAN M C M A H O N
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Julian McMahon, during a recent college
conference call in which "The Pride" participated, explained his reasons for taking
on the role of Jim Hanson in the upcoming
film "Premonition." "I was really interested in this movie initially because "of
Sandra Bullock, and then I was interested
in the movie because I read the script, and
then I was interested in it because I had
seen the director's first film, and I just
thought it was wonderful."
Jim Hanson is the loving husband of
Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock). Together
they have two darling daughters and live in
a beautiful home. One day Linda receives
news that Jim has died in a car crash. Yet,
when she wakes up the next morning,
Jim is alive and well. She dismisses what
seemed like the previous day's events as a
.nightmare. The next day, however, Linda
awakens to find herself a widow. Somehow the natural progression of things has
gone awry, and Linda is experiencing the
days of one fateful week out of order.
Commenting on the fragmented nature
of the story, McMahon explained the filming process, "For me, because I come in
and out of it consistently, I had to kind of
monitor - say the movie goes over a week,
I play Thursday before the movie's even
got to it, and then later on, I'd come to the
Tuesday after that. It was a little tricky, but
the thing was it did span over a week so
you could kind of contain it a little bit. It
definitely posed its own challenges."
McMahon clarified that his role in "Premonition" is indeed a departure f rom the
roles he normally plays. "This is a very
normal guy. He's a very Middle American family, Middle American values
- j u s t a guy who loves his girlfriend, got
married, had kids, had a family." McMahon, known for more larger-than-life
roles - demon Cole Turner in the supernatural TV series "Charmed," Victor Von
Doom in "Fantastic Four" (2005), and
Dr. Christian Troy in the FX series "Nip/
Tuck" - revealed, ."I'm always attracted

Movie Review:
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Picture "Gladiator" meets "The Matrix"
set in the dreamlike cinematography of
"Sin City." A fresh attempt to stretch the
barriers of visual cinema, "300" is a fist
flying, sword wielding, historical adventure.
Miller, who wrote the novel that became the
film, is best known for 2005's "Sin City."
"300" is based on the story of the Spartans
of Greece, a fierce group of elite warriors,
standing up to the self proclaimed GodKing Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) of Persia
in 480 B.C. Zach Snyder, of "Dawn of the
Dead" (2004) fame, directs "300" with a

The acting in this movie is well done.
Gerard Butler does a stellar job as the courageous King Leonidas. He dominates the
screen with a booming voice and wicked
fighting style. His wife, Queen Gorgo
(Lena Heady), is an equal partner to her

This film is a new fresh way to tell a tale.

that fellow movie goers will clap and cheer
for the heroic Spartans. The beauty of this
movie is that you are left wishing for more.

Enraged, emotional and

of University Hall, to show support and opposition for an organization called Survivors.
Large sandwich boards were
propped up against a light post,
and another was supported by
Survivor missionary Joey Cox,
to present their cause.
Signs displayed presented
large, graphic images of a bor^
tions and listed facts about conception, human life and abortion
provided by the Survivors organization.
As students, staff and the
members of Survivors exchanged
expressive words, debates, and
conversations of agreement, a
demonstration began in front of
the display as a Women's Studies professor, Dr. Linda Pershing and several Women's Studies students proceeded to stand
in front of the signs, blocking
the images from other students

hot wet blankets were also placed over
their heads, and plastic bags were used
for asphyxiation. According to their
accounts, they were forced to make
statements after extensive abuse, and
also forced to wave their rights to an
attorney.
Hank Jones, 70, and Ray Boudreaux,
64, two former Black Panthers, were
scheduled to speak as part of the CSUSM
event, but were arrested on January
23, 2007 for this same case from over
thirty years ago. The morning of February 14, one of the scheduled speakers,
Boudreaux appeared in court at 9AM
for charges of murder and conspiracy,
along with former Black Panthers Richard Brown, Henry Watson Jones, and
Richard O'Neal. Ages 55-71, they Were
brought in to Judge Donna Little's courtroom handcuffed and shackled at the
ankles.
Dr. Jodie Lawston from the sociology
department opened Wednesday's event
with a brief synopsis of the situation, and
expressed how she considered canceling
the event under the circumstances. She.
went on to say, "I feel that the people who
experience such oppression, directly,
should be able to speak about it." She
explained that the night before Ray Boudreaux had called to make a statement.
Dr. Lawston states, "Ray called the Freedom Archives last night, and he wanted
to tell everybody who came to this event
that he was very sorry he could not be
here today. He said, please tell everyone
I wanted to be there but can not."
After the film, Dr. Lawston and Dr.
Elise opened the room to discussion.
Dr. Elise clarified one student's question by saying, "You're question is why
would they pursue them so adamantly
even though they were innocent?" In
response to the question Dr. Elise stated,
"If you read about Cointelpro and its
relationship to the Black Panther Party,
you will see that they were out to destroy
the Black Panther Party under any ruse."
Dr. Lawston chimed in, "Two of the men
who were arrested in 1971 were listed in
Cointelpro as having to be neutralized.
Neutralized was the exact language they
used."
Dr. Elise describes the persistent
harassment of Black Panthers as a "mockery of liberty and justice," that fuels protests against police brutality. She shared
about the film, "I was particularly struck
by the film's point that the continuing
pursuit of law-abiding Black Panther
Party members is furthered by the Patriot
Act that is invoked to justify their recent
incarcerations based on the inclusion of
statements extracted decades ago during
torture by the police "
According to BlackPanther.org, in
October 1966, the late Huey P. Newton
and Bobby Seale founded the organization, originally called The Black Panther
Party for Self Defense. The organization focused on the fight for basic human
rights, as the video mentioned. The Party
set up several community programs such
as the Free Breakfast Program. Soon, the
Black Panther Party became the target of
the FBI's Cointelpro, Counterintelligence
Program that focused on "neutralizing"
civil rights activists. August 29 1971,
Sgt. John V. Young was shot inside the
Ingelside Police Station. According to,
Freedomarchives.org, in 1973, thirteen
men were arrested for supposedly having
a role in Young's murder. The video,
''Legacy of Torture: The War Against the
Black Liberation Movement," portrays
the accounts of these men, in their own
words, of how they were tortured during
interrogation. In 1975, a court threw out
the evidence obtained from these torturous interrogations. In 2003, the Department of Defense Te-opened the case with
funding from the Department of Homeland Security. For more information

�Sex workshop brings crowd to Clarke Field House
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Feb. 13, Health
Educator Cathy Nguyen and Passion Party Representative Jackie
Weber Cruz held an informative
event on sex at the Clarke Field
House as students ate creamfilled pastries.
According to the pink "Sex
and Cream" flyer advertising
the event to be "An informative workshop on safer sex and
includes demonstration of sensual products that includes alternative sexual items." The event at
the Clarke Field House translated
into: useful services that our
SHCS Student Health and Counseling Services center provides,
along with a basket full of lube
and condoms. SHCS also introduced everything from vibrators to nipple cream. In addition to playing with sex toys and
having a stranger administrate
lube to the entire room, a generous amount of mini-pastries were
readily available.
SHCS's Health Educator,
Nguyen, thoroughly and efficiently educated the room on the
differences between bacterial
and viral STI's (sexually .transmitted infections). Nguyen also

basically a hand massage given
by a soft purple rubber glove with
"rows and rows of flexible jelly
nubs." The seminar also included
edible massage creams, lubes
and powders, along with various
vibrators and a peculiar "lifelike
masturbation sleeve" by the name
of Gigi which Cruz said, as she
addressed the women in the audience, will "swallow for you if you
don't want to." Though certain
people admitted that they left the
seminar smelling like catsup and
mulch because of the pheromones
that Cruz said, "have different
smells on everybody," most students left with a different take on
how to spend Valentine's Day.
For additional information on
HIV and STI testing, students can

Twelve STI's of Christmas;"
complete with stick figure animation of various diseases. Bacterial STI's such as Chlamydia are
often receptive to treatment with
antibiotics whereas viral STI'S
such as herpes are the fun ones
that stay with you. Nguyen also
brought to attention the importance of being tested and said,'
"Every first Wednesday of the
month, the health center provides
free HIV testing, and you can
get results within 20 minutes."
The testing is also anonymous
and operates on a walk-in basis.

Students
& Faculty
Stand Together to
The CSU faculty fights for student
Interests every day. That's why the administration wants to break our union. They want
us to shut up about the 76% Jump in student
fees since 2002 (and about their plan to hike
them another 10% per year from now till
2011). They want us to keep quiet while they
increase class sizes and slash outreach
budgets. But public universities should be
affordable and accessible for all. We won't
stand by while they wreck the CSU!
W hy won't we sign the administration's contract?
We've gone five years with almost no raises, but their
salary offer won't even keep up with inflation. And it
won't change the fact that the CSU pays almost 20%
Jess than similar schools around the country. A great
education takes great teachers, but skimpy salaries are
driving good people out.
iiiiriiitlJillili
Faculty have not decided to strike yet, but will be voting
soon on whether to hold job actions. These may include
two-day walkouts designed to send a strong message
to the administration without keeping students from
graduating on time.
if we don't take action, faculty won't be able to afford to teach here and students
will be priced out of school. Our working conditions are your learning conditions. And we all deserve the very best! It's time to stand together to save our
school. We hope we can count on your support.

�New chewable contraceptive offers flavor to fans of the pill
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
The first oral contraceptive pill
was approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in
1960. Today, more than 11 million
American women are currently
taking an oral contraceptive, and
research shows that 80 percent of
all U.S. women born since 1945
have used the pill. There is currently another option out there for
women who use oral contraceptives. Femcon Fe, the chewable
version of Ovcon 35, was released
in September o f2006 by international pharmaceutical company
Warner Chilcott of Rockaway,
NJ. The new chewable version
is spearmint flavored to not only
reduce the risk of pregnancy,
but ensure fresh breath as well.
When taken correctly, oral contraceptives have a failure rate of
less than one percent per year.
However, studies show that 47
percent of women miss one or
more pills per month and missing
pills can increase the risk of pregnancy. The idea is that women
who have a problem swallowing
pills, no matter how small, now
have a choice. Warner Chillcot
is also marketing Femcon Fe as
appealing to the mint and gum
chewing population of females.
Someone who may forget to take
their birth control pill at a consistent time daily may be more
likely tp chew on one. The packet
comes in a twenty-eight day regimen. There are twenty-one round
white tablets followed by seven
green (inactive) tablets to complete a four week cycle. It can be
swallowed or chewed. If chewed
then swallowed, it is important to drink a full eight-ounce
glass of water to wash it down.
CSUSM Senior Elizabeth Sheets
discussed the matter, "I think it
is improbable that a chewable
pill will make you less likely
to forget." She did not see the
advantage to the spearmint flavor
as an attraction saying, "It's still
the pill, you know?"
Another selling point of theflavor is an appeal to the younger
generation of women that are
looking for a desirable form of
oral contraceptive. Young women
who may lead a sporadic lifestyle
with no regular routine can take
Femcon Fe on the go. The intention of marketing to teenagers
led CSUSM Senior Desiree Silva
to remark, "Are they trying to
encourage young girls to be sexually active?" She raises a good
point, but contraceptives are not
strictly for sexually active women.
They can regulate the menstrual
cycle and decrease bleeding.
Oral contraceptives may provide
benefits other than prevention of
unintended pregnancy including protection against ovarian
cancer, benign breast disease,
pelvic inflammatory disease, and
iron-deficiency anemia. The 75
milligrams of iron contained in
the green "dummy" pills, taken
during week four of the twentyeight day cycle, helps to fight
iron-deficiency anemia. The
risks are similar to that of other
oral contraceptives. Blood clots,
heart attack, and stroke are all
possible side effects. The wholesale price is $44.
Femcon Fe is not currently
available at the Student Health
and
Counseling
Services
(SHCS). SHCS was not aware of
the release of the Warner Chilcott
product and the Director of the
clinic Dr. Karen Nicholson said,
"I don't know if we will carry it
or not." On the issue of marketing to teenage girls Dr. Nicholson
mentioned, "It is important that
parents influence their children;
not the media."
SHCS does offer a wide variety
of birth control such as condoms,
birth control pills, and Depo-Provera which is taken by injection.
For any questions regarding birth
control or any other health issue

HPV and Gardasil, you could be "one less"
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
For many women, cervical
cancer is important and valid
concern. Until recently though,
there was no safeguard or precaution available to women to
protect themselves from the
uncertainty of cervical cancer;
and one known cause for cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus, also referred to as
HPV. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can be carried
and transferred through sexual
contact by both men and women.

Gardasil is currently available

Merck in order to get the vaccine for free. For questions about
this process, please contact our

If students have further questions about Gardasil, Dr. Nicholson encourages them to visit or

�Cinderella bill turns drinking
The "Green Team" makes a
on 21st birthday into fairy tale clean sweep for Recyclemania
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The fermentation of sugar creates
alcohol. This ancient process has withstood history and remains in many societies throughout the world. Breweries
and wineries utilize fermented sugar
to produce beer and wine. The current
drinking age for such beverages in the
U.S. remains 21. However, dissimilar times and days for drinking differ
amongst the states. Georgia restricts
the sale of liquor on Sundays while Las
Vegas allows for consumption of alcoholic beverages night or day any day of
the week.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages
has lead to many traditions, especially
on 21st birthdays. Venturing out to a bar
at the stroke of midnight on a 21st birthday remains popular amongst society.
"I went to the bar at 11:55 p.m. to kick
off the day," said Junior DeLacy Brown
a Liberal Studies major, who recently
turned 21 in early February.
"I went into the clubs the second the
clock stroked midnight," said Junior
Michael McBride.
When asked if the tradition of drinking at midnight on 21st birthdays
remains popular, Brown said "[it's] very
much alive," as McBride said, "I think it
is strong and alive." They also stated that
there were no mishaps during their night
of drinking at their fresh age of 21.
"Realizing that I was 21 and legally
able to drink, buy alcohol, [and] go
to bars whenever I wanted if I heeded
to made me feel like an adult," said
McBride.
However, the U.S. Senate is taking
aim at this tradition. The U.S. Senate
has passed House Bill 36, specifically
for Texas, which has become known
as the 'Cinderella Bill.' Under the proposed bill, people turning 21 would not
be able to consume alcoholic beverages
until 7 a.m. on their birthday. Similar
bills are currently either in effect or still
being proposed in other states. The bill
originates from Texas. State Rep. Rob
Eissler pioneered the bill after one of
his constituencies' son died the day of
"his 21st birthday due to a night of binge
drinking.
Under the 'Cinderella Bill' bars serving 21-year-olds before 7 a.m. will be
guilty of committing a Class A misdemeanor, will receive a $4,000 fine and
those whom served the alcohol could
serve possible jail time. Furthermore,
the bar could have its license for serving alcohol revoked or suspended.
The rationale for the bill lies in the
current situation created by legal hours
of drinking. In California 2 a.m. signifies the deadline for all consumption
and purchases of alcohol for the previous business day. If a person were to
begin drinking at 12:00 a.m. (as many
21-year-olds often do) in honor of tradition, and participate in what's known
as the "power-hour" (between midnight and 1 a.m.), they would only have
two hours to consume alcohol. The bill
hopes to discourage mass consumption
of alcohol between the wee hours in the
morning and in return prevent future
deaths.
Brown said, "I think [the Cinderella
Bill] is absolutely ridiculous! Almost
everyone I know celebrated their 21st
birthday at the bar at midnight. I understand that some may think newly capable drinkers won't be responsible drinking too much while celebrating, but just
a few more hours later isn't going to
benefit anyone."
CSUSM currently mandates an alcohol awareness program for all entering
freshmen, and the Student Health and
Counseling Services Center offers a
variety of alcohol education programs,
services, and peer advising.
SHCS is open Monday-Friday from
8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. located at 120
Craven Road (directly across Twin
Oaks Valley road from campus).

Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos is currently striving
to retain our title as "Grandmaster Recycling
Champions" in the RecycleMania competition, a national contest motivating schools
to cut down on waste. CSUSM has won the
competition for the past two years. The good
news is that CSUSM is currently first place
in the competition. The not so good news is
that we still have seven more weeks to go,
and any of the other 200+ participating college campuses nationwide still have a shot at
claiming the number one spot.
Recycling is relatively easy to do at
CSUSM. In fact, sometimes it is more difficult to find a trash can with all of the multitudes of recycling bins at our disposal. The
people responsible for CSUSM's wonderful recycling program call themselves the
Green Team which includes Facilities Services personnel Mui Sullivan, Steve Waiters, Carl Hansen and Ed Johnson. They are
in charge of deciding where to put trash and
recycling bins throughout the campus.
However, according to Green Team
member Ed Johnson, the members of the
Blue Crew are the guys doing the real work.
Blue Crew members can be seen collecting recycling items and trash wearing blue
shirts and driving white golf cart-type vehicles. Blue Crew members include James
Dimortino, Rafael Lopez, Nicolas Magana,
Gilbert Muffoz, Mike Tili and Green Team
representative Carl Hansen. These guys are
serious about recycling, and a large part of
why we are currently winning RecycleMa-
nia 2007 is because of their dedication. Nothing makes them sadder than to see recyclable
items in the trash, and although they do what
they can to make sure that everything that is
recyclable gets recycled, they do not have the
time to correct every trash can infraction.
"Give them support and a pat on the back,"
said Johnson.
A good way to show support for the Blue
Crew and RecycleMania is to recycle; and
around CSUSM, it is certainly not difficult
to do so. Recycling bins are everywhere,
and almost everything can be recycled.
Only items like yogurt cups, microwavable trays, Styrofoam, plastic grocery bags,
pizza boxes, non-jar and non-bottled glass,
high-gloss paper, napkins, tissue and spiral
notebooks cannot be recycled. Even batteries and printer cartridges can be recycled
on campus. Although our campus has bins
labeled "mixed paper" "bottles" and "cans,"
these are merely suggestions and any recyclable material can be placed in any recycle
bins. Johnson also says that faculty can help
with RecycleMania by doing their spring
cleaning before the contest ends on April 7.
The Facilities Services on campus have a
goal to reach zero waste, meaning that nothing is wasted. Their vision is to create a better
world starting with Cal State San Marcos.
According to statistics on the official
RecycleMania web site, CSUSM i s not only
first place in the grand champion category,
but also in the corrugated cardboard category. In the Per Capita Classic, CSUSM is
currently in fifth place. For more information about RecycleMania 2007 visit www.

�Chargers
c oaching exodus
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
A turbulent off season that
began as soon as the final gun
went off at Qualcomm stadium
Sunday January 14th, culminated
with the dismissal of Head Coach
Marty Schottenheimer. Soon
after the Chargers lost to twotime superbowl MVP Tom Brady
and the Patriots 24-21, the bizarre
happenings began. LaDanian
Tomlinson, who is Mr. Humble in
this age of the attention hoarding
star, took offense to the Patriots'
mimicry of Shawne Merriman's
sack dance on the Bolts logo at
mid-field. Tomlinson openly criticized Patriots Coach Bill Bellicheck for the way his team conducted themselves. A team with
three superbowl rings in this millennium should have a bit more
class, but L.T.'s comments were
uncharacteristic of the reigning
league MVP.
The Chargers had a choice to
make following a record setting
regular season that came crashing down in the playoffs in front
of the record home crowd of
68,810. Could the owners of the
franchise, the Spanos family,
actually fire a coach who had led
this team to win 14 games? The
Bolts two regular season losses
were by three points each, as was
the playoff loss. Coaches matter
most in close games. It's the decisions made in crunch time, when
the game is on the line that defines
a head coach. There is also that
little thing about the post season.
This game is about Superbowl
titles, of which the Chargers have
none.
Marty Schottenheimer is a
winner. He has 200 career regular season victories as a head
coach, sixth all-time. Every stop
has been a successful one. Teams
are better with Marty as head
coach than they were before he
arrived, that isn't in doubt. His
track record speaks for itself. The
problem is the post season. This
year was supposed to be different. With an eye-popping 5 up
and 12 down record in the playoffs, Marty was due to eventually
win one. Even with the best team
in the league on paper, Schottenheimer found a way to lose
when the stakes are highest. His
first playoff loss came during the
second Reagan Administration.
His last win, with Joe Montana
as his quarterback, was when
Bill Clinton was serving his first
term in the White House. He's
lost six straight since 1993. He's
been one-and-done nine times.
They've been tough and close;
eight have been by five points or
less, two have gone to overtime.
The players liked Schottenheimer. Chargers' General Manager A.J. Smith did not. Their
relationship was tenuous and
almost non-existent, even to the
point the two men had an intermediary when communicating.
After the gut-wrenching home
playoff loss to the Patriots many
fans were calling for the coach to
be fired. Schottenheimer had one
year left on his contract and the
offer to extend an extra year was
at a substandard rate. A.J. Smith
did not want Schottenheimer to
stay, that was obvious, but for
continuity's sake offered him one
year at less money than he was
currently making. Marty scoffed
at the offer and was in turn put in
the "lame-duck" category, when
a coach is in his final year. With
questions about their future, the
coaches under Schottenheimer
began a mass migration towards
job security. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, whose squad
led the league in points and produced an MVP in Tomlinson,
left to become the head coach
in Miami. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, architect of
a defense that led the league in
quarterback sacks, took the head
coaching job in Dallas. Linebacker's coach Greg Manusky is the
new defensive coordinator in S.F.
and tight end's coach Rob Chudzinski will be the offensive coordinator in Cleveland. The whirl
of the coaching carousel led to
even more dissension between
lame-duck Schottenheimer and
GM Smith. Marty wanted his
brother to interview for one of the
coaching vacancies, while Smith
couldn't stand having one Shottenheimer around.
So a month after the Chargers kicked their fans in the gut
one more time, Marty Schottenheimer was canned. The core
of this team is laden with great
young talent that's under contract
till 2009 or beyond. Even so, there
is a window of opportunity for a
team, and this town is eagerly
awaiting the chance to celebrate
a superbowl win. Let's hope GM
A. J. Smith and the Spanos family,
máke the right decisions in getting this team hungry to advance
deep into the playoffs following
the 2007 season.

�Letter to the Editor:
sensa tional journalism
[To The Pride]
I respect that you have taken the duties
of an Editor upon yourself and no doubt
it comes with much stress, however I am
a little worried about the tone of voice in
many of the articles.
Using the headlines "Something must be
done" and "Girl hit by car suffers minor
injuries," seems to be making a big deal out
of little news and reminds me of MSNBC or
FOX news. Sensational journalism is something that a university newspaper should
be trying to stamp out, rather than have
its own editor-in-chief promote it himself.
The press is a powerful tool, often called
the 4th branch of government because of
the power it wields, the use of headlines
that are informative and not inflationary is
paramount to a respectable print.
With a genuine concern for where my
university's newspaper is going,

Pride Staff Writer
Ballast Point Brewing Company is based in San Diego. In
1992, Ballast Point started Home
Brew Mart. In 1996 they decided
to build their own brewery in
the back of their store, and they
started brewing the September of
1996. They not only brew awardwinning beer but they will help
you get started brewing your
own.
Ballast Point currently distributes five award-winning beers,
Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico
Amber Ale, Big Eye I.P.A., Black
Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat.
The one that I chose to enjoy was
the Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale
Ale.
. I was f irst introduced to
Yellowtail Pale Ale in Solana
Beach at the Fish House just
east of the 101 Highway. I was
ordering some of the world best
fish tacos and trying to decide
on a beer to wash them down
with. They have a fairly good
selection of beer there, so I was
having a hard time narrowing it down. I am a sucker for
local brews, so when they told
me that Ballast Point brews
and bottles their beer locally
in San Diego, I was sold. As
I sat down with my f ish tacos
and my own pitcher of Yellowtail, suddenly out of nowhere a
few friends showed up to help
me finish the beer. How they
knew where I was I still don't
know, but, as always, it was a
good time. Everyone enjoyed
the beer and most of my food.
Knowing that the beer didn't
travel more than 25 miles to
make it to my glass, made it
even more refreshing.
They Yellow Tail Pale Ale, is
know as a Kolsch type of beer.
Kolsch originated in Cologne,
Germany. The Yellow Tail
is brewed using wheat and is
pale in color. It is fermented
at warm temperatures with ale
yeast. Yellow Tale tastes like
a pilsner beer, but it has a hint
of fruitiness because of the
Tettnanger hops and ale yeast
that are used, although it is
less bitter than most German
beers. Ballast Point claims
that Yellow Tale is fermented
with yeast that they stole from
breweries in Cologne
Germany. Unlike most
ale, Yellow .Tail f inishes very smooth with
a very mild aftertaste.
In Cologne Germany,
Kolsch Beer is brewed by
21 breweries, which makes
Cologne the city with
the most breweries in the
world. Unfortunately for us,
however, none of those breweries export to the.U.S. So, we
only have a handful of breweries
that brew Kolsch beer and Ballast
Point is one of those. The Yellow
Tale Pale ale is their Kolsch
Beer.
Ballast Point beers are available at Beverages and More,
also you will find there are a few
local bars and restaurants that
Image courtesy of Ballast Point
Brewing Company
have it on tap. You can also visit
the brewery at 5401 Linda Vista
Road suite 406 San Diego, CA.
They will gladly give you a tour
of their facilities. For more information, please visit: www.BallastPoint.com

TaAuna/kL'&wJwwdA
BY KIM ANDERSON
Pride Staff Writer
In an era where people can
choose the types of media that they
are exposed to, more and more
souls choose to live in a boxed up
frame of mind. They choose what
Internet sites to get their news;
they TiVo the types of television
programs they like, and they only
listen to the music they choose on
their MP3 players. People can now
choose to go throughout life without ever being exposed to a new
point of view. This is why a college education is so important: it
opens up the boxed-in minds of its
students. Cal State San Marcos not
only aims to open students' minds
through diversity-conscious educational programs, but through the
arts events on campus.
On Thursday, February 15, the
Tanosaki-Richards duo performed
for an audience in Arts 111. The
type of music the Tanosaki-Richards duo perform is a perfect
example of music the typical college student would not normally be
exposed to. Tanosaki-Richards's
piano and clarinet npiusic infuses
modern Japanese style music with
experimental sounds that many
people have never before heard.
The duo consists of pianist
Kazuko Tanosaki and clarinetist E. Michael Richards. The duo,
who are married to each other,
have been playing together since
1982. They met while pursuing
degrees at the University of San
Diego. Richards received his Ph.D.
from the University of San Diego
after getting his bachelor degree
at the New England Conservatory
and his masters at Yale School of
Music. Tanosaki has a bachelor
degree from the Kunitachi College of Music in Japan, a masters
from University of San Diego and
a DMA in piano performance and
literature from the Eastman School
of Music. As a duo, they have performed in various prestigious
venues ranging from the Piacenza
Conservatory in Milan, Italy to the
dux>
Lincoln Center in New York City.
The type of piano and clarinet
music they play is unlike anything
heard on a regular radio station. It
is not classical music, and it was
surprising to hear something so
different from instruments that
are so ordinary. They played five
different songs on Thursday, and
before performing, they explained
a little about each song.
The first song they played was
"Jakkyo (Quiet Sounds)" composed by Japanese artist Masao
Honma.- This song was particularly interesting because Richards played two different tones at
the same time with his clarinet.
u
Out Of a Blaze of Light" was
the next song performed. Written
by Japanese composer Hiroyuki
Itoh, the song featured clarinet
quarter tones $nd a multilayered timing technique used by
the pianist. The next two songs
were solo pieces. "Elegy" by
Italian composer Carlo Alessandro Landini was a clarinet piece
that was much more melodic than
the other selections. "Piano Distance" by Toru Takemitsu was
an open form song that Tanosaki
played with precision and emotion. Their final song "Mirror" by
Shirotomo Aizawa was a shorter
piece that had an interesting
haiku sequence within.
The concert was the first of the
Funes Fund Concert Series, which
features performers who provide
new and exciting artistic experiences for Cal State San Marcos
students. This concert series was
established in memory of founding faculty member Don Funes of
the visual performing arts department. Upcoming concerts include
Ho-Asogli, an ensemble featuring
traditional West African drumming and dance on Wednesday,
March 7 at noon, and an Irish session band on Monday, March 12, at
7:30 p.m. Both events will be held
in Arts 111. These concerts are a
wonderful opportunity to break
out and explore the musical stylings of different cultures.

BRIDGE T O
TERABITHIA
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
coerced students into reading
one of these literary versions of
the ABC After School Special,
there is a kid who got bored,
gave up, and rented the jnovie.
"Bridge to Terabithia" is certainly one of those children's
books that adults will always
fawn over for its inspiring story
and great literary significance.
However, it is also a book that
children can enjoy simply for its
own sake, and that is a very rare
combination. Katherine Paterson avoids any heavy-handed
moralizing and contrived plot
devices and instead has written
a book that maintains the perfect balance between entertainment and enlightenment, which
is probably why it won a Newberry MedaL
The main character of the
book is Jess, a fifth-grade boy

who is "the only boy smashed
between four sisters" in a poor
family. At school he is the
strange kid who likes to draw.
At home, his mother favors his
sisters, and his father thinks he
is a sissy. One day a girl named
Leslie moves into the farmhouse next door. The family is
different from anything Jess's
conservative small town has
ever seen. Leslie doesn't have
a TV, and she doesn't wear
dresses. She races the boys at
recess time—and wins. Jess
and Leslie become best friends,
and together they navigate their
way through the hazards of
being different. They invent
their own imaginary land, Terabithia, where they are king and
queen. Then one day a catastrophe strikes, and Jess has to deal
with the loss of the only person
in his life that made him happy.
Katherine Paterson's realistic storytelling in this book is
truly inspired. The setting and
characters are based on a rural
community near Washington,
D.C., and the reader gets the
feeling that he or she really
could go visit this small town.
Very few of the characters are
simply flat plot devices, there
to foil the hero and heroine or
move the plot along. Even the
most seemingly insignificant
characters actually have very
complex reasons for the way
they behave. Likewise,, not all
of the problems and challenges
that Paterson creates get neatly
wrapped up and resolved by the
enci of the book. The most powerful part of the book is Paterson's description of the grief and
loss that Jess experiences. She
was inspired to write this book
when her own son's best friend
was killed in a tragic accident,
and her story has an authenticity that could only come from
someone who experienced the
senseless loss of a child first
hand.
It's easy to see why "Bridge
to Terabithia" is such a favorite
of teachers. There are is a lot of
material that could be used for
instruction in the classroom. It
is fairly easy to pick out material that could be used for discussions about characterization,
setting, symbolism and foreshadowing. But even though
they may be learning while they
read, kids will love this book
anyway. It had me completely
absorbed right from the beginning, and by the end I was sobbing like a baby.

Bridge to Terabithia
BY SARAH PULTZ
Pride Staff Writer
"Bridge to Terabithia" is
a favorite of many children
and adults, so i t's no surprise that Hollywood eventually decided to t urn the book
into a movie. However, it is
surprising that the filmmakers missed the opportunity to
turn what is arguably one of
the greatest children's books
of all time into anything more
than a mediocre vehicle for
CGI e ffects. The filmmakers
chose to leave out many of the
most moving and meaningful moments of the book, j ust
to make room for some stunning visuals and intense plot
twists.
While these additions are certainly very pretty
and exciting, they are nothing
more than that—all f luff and
no substance or significance.

really be a problem if it hadn't

The movie falls short in its
depiction of Jess's terrible

Jess's grief with heartbreaking
realism, the itiovie glosses over
these moments. What could

as though David Paterson
couldn't bear to relive them

true. The audience can see her character develop from a background

heart and the anchor of the family, a
position that in life oftentimes lacks
the appreciation it deserves.
Thornton's performance seems

"She's been married for 27 years,
and [her husband and her] rocket

chef, and he always wanted to
own his own restaurant . .. They
all worked in the restaurant, and
he made his dream come true. It
became their collective dream.
They were the Farmers, and
that's where I got my inspiration
and that's why the story made
sense to me."
Madsen said she can identify with the idea of holding on
to a dream no matter what anybody says. "My rocket was Hollywood," Madsen revealed.
"I wanted to be a professional
actress, and I was a fireman's
daughter. So, that was about as
crazy as building a rocket, but I
believed in myself and so did my
parents."
Of making her own dream
come true, Madsen articulated,
"You get discouraged a lot, but if
you have faith and if you continue
to believe in yourself, it doesn't
matter how long it takes - you'll
get there. It's about longevity. It's
about perseverance."
After years of feeling underestimated by the film industry, Madsen's perseverance finally paid off.
"[The film 'Sideways'] changed
everything," she said. "I think the
most important thing it did for me,
not just being able to choose projects like this, the kind of people I
work with now, but it gave me a lot
of confidence. That was the most
important thing. Going through
an awards season with a movie
like that, I gained a lot of confidence during that experience."
Madsen also attributed some of
her new-found confidence to her
age. "[45] is the best age. There
is more confidence that comes
in your 40s of course. It's such a
great age for women. 'Desperate
Housewives' are having it too.
Now it's cool. Now it's chic to
be a woman in your 40s, because
you're now considered like you
know things. (Coy smile.) So,
we're sexy now."

A large glowing orb loomed,
emanating pulsating hues of
blue, orange, and red; vintage
aircrafts hovered above; portraits of legends such as Neil
Armstrong, Amelia Earhart,
Charles Lindbergh, and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. occupied The
Hall of Fame, and the Apollo
9 Command Module Capsule
stood proudly near the entrance
to San Diego Air & Space
Museum. There really couldn't
have been a more suitable setting for the San Diego stop
on the publicity tour for "The
Astronaut Farmer."
"'The Astronaut Farmer'
started out as an independent
[film]," said the film-making
duo the Polish Brothers. "We
made it independently under
Warner Brothers Independent.
That is ideally the best way to
make a studio picture."
The Polish Brothers are
famous for such indie flicks
as "Twin Falls Idaho," "Jackpot," which won the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards, and
"Northfolk," an official selection of the 2003 Sundance Film
Festival.
The brothers, identical twins
from El Centro, California, said
they think about stories in a
similar way. "There hasn't been
anything where I'm like, 'Wow,
that's -incredibly bad. That's
awful * said Michael Polish of
his brother's contributions to
the collaborative process.
"Whoever comes up with the
idea takes the f irst d raft. Or,
w e'll do an outline together,
and then w e'll go do a d raft and
pass it back and forth. Lately,
he's been writing a screenplay
by himself. I've been writing
by myself," Michael explains.
"You still need a clear driver
on d rafts," he continues.
" Let's say, for instance, Mark
does a whole d raft. I 'll read
it and say, 'Maybe these two
characters are sounding the
same. You need to make them
more distinctive or get ride of
them. In a way, I become an
editor for his screenplay, and
he becomes an editor for my
screenplay."
The Polish brothers made
"The Astronaut Farmer" into
even more of a family affair
than usual by casting their
ypung daughters in the roles
of young Stanley and Sunshine
Farmer, Michael's 7-year-old
Jasper, and Mark's 4-year-old
Logan, respectively. Once they
knew they were going to use
their daughters for the roles, the
brothers went back and made
adjustments to the characters of
Stanley and Sunshine. Michael
and Mark knew their strengths
and played to them. They were
nervous about putting their kids
into the roles, however, and
Mark said he doesn't plan on
doing it again.
On working with Virginia
Madsen, who plays Audrey
"Audie" Farmer, wife of rocketbuilding Charles Farmer, the
brothers said she was "great.
Great instincts. A lot of f un.
Good mother. Both of them
together, [Madsen and Thorntori], they were very f un to
watch." Of her character, they
elaborated, "She's the glue in
that family."
A fter they are done prompting "The Astronaut Farmer,"
the brothers' will move on
to science fiction with their
screenplay, "I.D."
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
"The movie isn't really about a
rocket. The movie is about working really hard to make your
dreams come true and never
giving up on your dream against
all odds," said Virginia Madsen
on February 15 at the San Diego
Air & Space Museum in Balboa
Park, which was one stop on the
publicity tour for the film "The
Astronaut Farmer."
Madsen, whose filmography
includes roles in movies such
as "Dune," "The Rainmaker,"
"Sideways," and "A Prairie
Home Companion," not to mention numerous television appearances, said she based the character of Audrey "Audie" Farmer,
loving and supportive wife
of Charles Farmer (Billy Bob
Thornton), who builds a rocket
in his barn and intends to launch
it into space, on her sister whose
dream was to raise children. "She

Social Activist speaks out about civil rights
Elections
yield low
voter
turnout
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
BY J ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
Students may have many opinions on how to improve their
campus, yet it would seem that
few acted on those opinions in
this year's ASI Elections. The
voter count for the 2006 Cal State
San Marcos' ASI Elections was
much lower than last year. The
polls were open online for students to vote over the course of
four days, f rom March 20-23, and
yet the number of voters totaled
to a mere 578, versus the approximate 1500 voters that participated
in the 2005 ASI Elections.
The process of voting has not
changed f rom previous years,
scheduled the week before Spring
Break, as an online process.
"I believe one of the contributing factors to the lower number
of voters this year was the lack of
a student referendum," said Heidi
Doyle, current chair of ASI Elections.
Jeremy Mills ran unopposed
and won his position of Vice
President of Legislative A ffairs
with 376 votes. He and Doyle
explain that last year there was an
Athletic Fee referendum that was
on the ballots coinciding with the
ASI Elections. The President's
office used the opportunity of
the ASI Elections and asked that
the referendum be placed on the
ballot. According to Mills and
Doyle, students who did not want
a fee increase were more compelled to go online and vote.
Another contributing factor to .
the lower number of voters may
have been the fact that there were
more candidates running and
campaigning for a position.last j
year than there was this year.
Ashley D unn ran unopposed,
returning for her second term
as the Vice President of Finance
with 367 votes. Dunn believes
the number of voters were low
because "students as a whole don't
vote." D unn recently attended
CHESS (California Higher Education Student Summit) held in
Dolores Huerta, social activist
and labor leader, addressed social
issues pertaining to immigration
and civil rights to a packed-house
on Tuesday, April 4.
Applause turned to cheers
as Huerta began her one-hour
speech. Huerta, mother of 11
children, began social activism
in the early 1960s, collaborating with key labor leader Cesar
Chavez. Huerta discussed how
past events are mirroring current
policies relating to immigration
and civil rights. Emphasizing
the need for political activism,
Huerta suggested that the immigration reform is being utilized
as a distraction from the military
occupation in Iraq.
"We need to remind Congress
that no terrorist came through
Mexico," argued Huerta. "The
only terrorists that have come
into the United States have come
in through Canada."
"The fight is not over," said
Huerta. "For the next month or
so, maybe longer, we are going
to need to be super diligent."
Huerta explained how with
foreign policies and trade agreements small farmers in Mexico
are unable to compete with the
market in the United States and
are being exploited, causing
large migration over the border.
Highlig hting recent visits to
Venezuela and Cuba, Huerta
argued that the United States
could learn a lot from these Central and South American nations
in regards to f ree education,
national healthcare system, literacy, and healthy race-relations.
"In our society, we are taught Dolores Huerta speaks to students about social activism.

said Lisa Bengtson, fitness and
wellness coordinator.
"The purpose of the Road
to Wellness Fair and Wellness
Month at the Clarke Field House/
Student Union is to help promote
positive well-being through participation in the eight dimensions
of Wellness among the students,
faculty, and staff on our campus.
The dimensions of Wellness are:
physical, emotional, spiritual,
intellectual, occupational, cultural, environmental, and social,"
said Bengtson.
Some community partners will
be at the event including MADD

Athlete, Innovative Body Science,

from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
"With the continued growth
of our campus community and
increased knowledge of the
importance of health and wellness, I expect a great turnout for
our upcoming Wellness Fair," said
Bengtson. "I hope students, staff,
and faculty will take advantage
of the opportunity to learn and
appreciate a great variety of community and campus resources,
as well as enjoy free food, giveaways, wellness presentations,
and have a f un, information-filled
experience."

six years, as well. His efforts have forged
stronger bonds of communication with the
Student A ffairs office, the Student Life and
Leadership office, the Residential Advisors, and the ASI student offices. But in
just three days, Poullard will leave Cal
State San Marcos for UC Berkeley, where
he has accepted the position of Dean of
Students.
" I have watched talented people leave
our campus," said President Karen
Haynes. " I wish to t hank Jonathon for
his continual advocacy for students, his
clarity and intelligence, his honesty of
views which are always expressed and for
exhibiting the 'University F irst' vision.
We congratulate h im and t hank him for

From Elections, page 1
Sacramento, Calif. She learned
that the age group of 18-25 is
the lowest voting range. Dunn
believes this applies to voting on
any level, whether it is voting for
school elections or voting on a
national level. An interesting fact
Dunn learned is that there are an
estimated 490,000 students in
the CSU school systems.
"We have a lot of power that we
are not aware of. If all 490,000
students got together and voted
one way on a particular issue,
imagine what that can do," said
Dunn.
" I always vote," said Logan
Goolsby, a senior Psychology
student. Goolsby was one of the
578 voters that actually took the
time t o log online to cast their
votes. " I don't think most students are interested in campus
activities because most come
to campus, go to class and then
leave. It's a question of priorities," said Goolsby.
In order to ensure a higher
voter count for next year, Heidi
Doyle is preparing to bring the
issue of lower-voter turnout to
the ASI Board and ask that the
bylaws be changed. Currently,
the bylaw states that ASI must
post an advertisement about the
ASI Elections in The Pride, along
with 3 designated locations on
campus two weeks before the
election date. Instead of advertising just two weeks before
the actual elections date, Doyle
his service to Cal State San Marcos."
During the Farewell Ceremony held
at the Clarke Field House, many administrators, s taff, and students shared their
praise, and loss, of Poullard as an influential entity on the campus.
"We have sincere appreciation for all
that [Jonathon Poullard] has done," said
Tom Bennett, on behalf of Academic
A ffairs. "[His] footprints are everywhere
on this campus, so truly, [he] is never
really leaving here."
Yet, a common theme was expressed by
many speakers during the controlled-mic
farewells. Jonathon was more than j ust
an employee of Cal State San Marcos; he
was a f riend, a colleague, and a very spirited man.
"Jonathon is an amazing person, and a
would like to have, in addition
to that, notices posted 2 weeks
before applications are even
available.
Doyle had scheduled two
speak-outs this year, versus only
one that was held last year. A fter
the first speak out this year, the
number of voters went up tremendously. "At the beginning of
the week, there was about 200
votes, after the speak-outs that
were held on Wednesday and
Thursday, the votes increased to
the 578 that we have now," said
Doyle.
Tamira Jubber, a freshmen who
ran unopposed and won the position of Director of Recruitment &
Student Mobilization, would like
to see promotion on the actual
Cal State San Marcos webpage.
"I want a huge link on the site,"
said Jubber. "Many students go
onto the school's website daily
to log into their e-mail accounts;
it would j ust make more sense
to have a link to the voting on
there." This will be the task that
Jubber will have to tackle next
year in her new position.
Mills hopes that next year's
University Hour will increase
student life and activities. University Hour is a two year pilot
program where between the
hours of noon and 1:00 p.m.
there will be no classes scheduled. This allotted time will be
reserved for scheduled activities, programs, events, and pos-
sibly more office hours with professors.
Aamara Ysrael was one of the
few candidates r unning with an
opponent; she won her position
of Vice President of Communications with 303 votes. Ysrael's
pink themed campaign was seen
all over campus. " I chose not
to make my campaigning look
political; instead, everything
was pink. Pink is my favorite
color and I wanted people to see
what I had in common with them
through my campaigning before
judging me if they were to see a
red, white and blue political flyer
or poster," explained Ysrael.
Ysrael believes that there is
always room for suggestions. She
hope that more students will be
involved and r un for positions for
the 2007 ASI Elections. "When
there are more students running,
it pressures candidates to work
harder against their opponents
and in grabbing the attentions of
students," said Ysrael.
D unn's solution to obtaining a
higher voter count next year is to
educate students on the importance of voting. "ASI Elections

are all here to serve you, the

players. Murderball is among the
sports played in the Paralympics,
and it is played professionally in
19 different countries. Eligibility depends on a combination of
upper and lower extremity impairment; however, most participants
have some level of quadriplegia.
Utilizing a basketball court
layout, the teams pass a volleyball
among four court players attempting to advance the ball over the
marked goal-line. The sport
combines elements from various sports, primarily rugby, with
specific regulations on impairment classification. Murderball is
not discriminatory about age or
gender: men and women, as well
as teens to older adults, are eligible to play.
Turpin explained how media
often portrays quadriplegics as
fragile, or incapable of participating in such a dangerous, highenergy game.
"After I started volunteering
with wheelchair sports, I realized
exactly how far off movies usually
are," said Turpin. "Since Murderball (the independent film) came
out last year, and it only played
in independent theaters, not many
people had the opportunity to see
it. The connection was fresh in my
mind. I suggested doing a screening and hosting a panel discussion
because Murderball is so completely different from anything
else out there about Spinal Cord
Injuries (SCI). I know that quads
are far from fragile, but with the
movie, everyone else does too."
With the aid of a co-curricular
grant, the Literature and Writing
Department proudly sponsors
the screening of Murderball. The
event is f ree to the public, and
f ree food will be served.
"It's a great movie with serious
action and competitive athletes,"
said Turpin. "It's about regular

mean they don't have any intelligence."
Huerta's speech dabbled in
all prevalent social issues, challenging racism and homophobia, promoting gender equality
and economic fairness, and discussed the struggle of the new
civil rights movement.
Welcome to the new civil
rights movement," exclaimed
Huerta. "This will be a movement against racism and for economic rights. We need our money
and our tax dollars to come back
to us. Our schools are the soul of
our nation, and when you have an
education, your voice gets louder,
not softer! We do have power, but
we just need to exercise it and
learn how to use it."
In order to make changes,
Huerta believes in active democracy and encouraging civil duties
of voting, protesting, and lobbying the government.
"About 50 percent of people
are not voting. We've got to
make it a top priority to go out
and get voters to vote," said
Huerta. "Imagine if we. got the
other 50 percent out to vote, then
we could change what's happening in Washington and change
what's happening in Sacramento. But change isn't going to
happen unless we do it. We need
democracy in action."
The rain did not deter over
200 people from gathering in
Arts 240 on Tuesday to listen
to Huerta speak on behalf of
migrant workers, constitutional
rights, and social priorities. In
fact, many people were turned
away from the auditorium. But
those who were able to find a seat
were inspired by Huerta.
"I came to see her speak
because she's a highly respected
woman-activist in the Latin community," said Gaby Ruiz, senior
Communication and Spanish
student. "I also came because I
wanted to learn more information about the movement."
But the movement will not
be easy, according to Huerta.
"The movement has cost a lot of
sacrifice, but all changes come,
from the bottom. Tonight, we
are making history, and you are
making history by being here."

their dreams a reality. Through vision,
commitment, and collaboration, lots of
change and lots of dreams can become a
reality," said President Karen Haynes.
The vision of the Women's Center was
shared by committee founders, Leah
Avalez, Cheyenne Barr, Heidi Doyle, Sara
Leonard, Lissa Lim, DiDi Lund, Sara
Mead, and Lori Walkington.
"I am proud of the complete support that
we found in creating the Women's Center,"
said Cheyenne Barr, co-founder of the
Women's Center. "We received support
from every angle possible."
The Women's Center was established to
educate, advocate, and empower women
and men by offering programming and a
safe environment, according to the center's
mission statement. The focus of the center
is to improve conversations and relationships between various gender, ethnic,
and sexual orientation groups on campus,
increase awareness on issues that primarily
affect women on campus, pursue equity for
all women through support, programming,
advocacy, and discussion, provide resources
for women's intellectual, professional, and
personal success, ajad serve as 3 ljftison f or
students to existing campus services.
"The Women's Center is for anyone and
everyone," said Barr. "We want to make sure
that people bring all of their cultures to the
table. In that, this center is not just for women.
It is for women and men, and all genders, and
all sexual orientations and all sexual identities; all people can find amazing information
here and can feel safe here."
The Women's Center has posted their new
hours of Monday 10-1; Tuesday 10-2 and 3-5;
Wednesday 10-5; Thursday 11-2 and 3-5, and
Friday 1-3.
"Just as this new campus grows with each
student that comes in and makes a difference, this center will change and mold to
whomever comes in and says something. If
someone says something is missing, we will
listen to them, and we will bring it in. So, the
students have complete power; this is a new
center, and we invite all people from all situations to come and be a part of this dream."

With about f ourteen d ifferent

International Student Advisor,
t en student organizations were

Clubs, such as Persian, Japanese,
Chinese, I ndian, Priority, E cuadorian, and G erman clubs, as
well as SGI, E IE, A PSS, International P rograms, and T he Global

International Flags loaned f rom

lined the stairs ascending f rom
the first floor of University Hall
t o the second as well as on the
stairs leading t o the Mezzanine
area. There were activities like
karaoke, trivia games and fearfactoresque eating games.
Taliah Chatterfield said of the
fair, " I really enjoyed the K araoke by t he Filipino group, it was
a lot of f un." N aturally there

ate where we come f rom and to
learn f rom each other about our
cultural differences. Another big
reason I t hink this Fair is successful is that our campus puts
this Fair on. I m ean, most of the
p erformers are f rom this campus
and our campus community gets
out and supports each other. We
are a small enough campus to
recognize a dancer or a singer
and we hang out and support
each other."
Indeed, there did seem to b e
an extra b uzz of excitement as
students p erformed, while their
f riends cheered t hem on f rom the
sidelines.
One woman single handedly
entertained the whole crowd with
her Irish dancing. Later she took
some audience members u p on
stage t o learn a f ew moves. A
p erformance the crowd seemed
to really enjoy was the A froCuban Salsa dancing. There were
six people involved in the dance,
coupled u p and dressed in black
and white. In contrast t o the lack
of color in the Salsa p erformance,
the Indian dancers had enough
colors t o shame a rainbow. The
eight girls wore gold veils and
dressed in vibrant colored f uchsias, blues, and multi-colored
folk dresses as they formed a
circle and spread their a rms on
the m akeshift stage.
Machelle Jordan, a student in
the Indian dance class, said, "A lot
[of the dance} is u p f or interpretation depending on where t hey're
p erforming. The music is about
worshipping god and the focus
is on the facial and hand gestures
because they tell a story."
The Ecuadorian dancers also
paid attention t o color, wearing black and brown long skirts,
white shirts and shoes and a
f uchsia flower on the right side
of their heads. Close r unners u p
in color richness were the contestants in t he origami fashion show.
The A PSS club put on the fashion
show, which consisted of students
in bright colored paper shaped to
appear as a kimono with detailed
origami on the backside.

�Visual Performing Arts Play the Fool
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
'Entertaining' is not typically the word of choice when it
comes to a college senior's final
project. It has been called daunting, scary, and horrific, maybe,
but not enjoyable by any means.
Yet, when you combine three
extremely talerited ' performing
artists, and an unexpected script,
it can b e j ust t hat.
"Fool for Love," written by
Sam Shepard, is the capstone
performance
for
Krystene
Zehnder, Russ Ferguson, and
Wig. Directed and produced by
Russ and Wig, this three-person
show presents the culmination of
their hard work and education at
San Marcos.
The group read through about
six plays before choosing this
particular script. When asked
why they chose this script over for Eddie." Her largely emotional
any other, Russ said, "We j ust role gave her the opportunity to
kept coming back to this one. We go against the grain of the stereowere drawn t o the idea of being typical weak female role.
Russ Ferguson explains his
trapped within your own percharacter Eddie as "Your typical
sonal, mental state."
" I kind of liked it because the j erk, but there is something liksubject matter is typically very able about him. He is j ust a typitaboo and offensive," added Wig, cal man that wants t o get what he
"but the way it is presented is not wants."
Proving that motivation can
raunchy." A s described by the artists, "Fool for Love," is the same come f rom j ust about anywhere,
love story: girl leaves boy, boy Wig says that " the inspiration for
finds girl, and the love and hate me was the teal shirt."
A quaint set, sparsely decosaga unfolds, but with a few very
rated with a table, two chairs, and
unexpected twists and t urns.
Along with a controversial a bed, allowed the actors' work
story, there are also charac- to shine through without disters strong enough to stand u p traction. The entire story takes
to such a script. " Mae is a very place during one night in a dingy
f ull character," stated Krystene, desert motel room. While the
when asked about what drove scenery may not change, there
her character. "Mae k nows who is a constant charge of emotion
she is, but at the same time she exchanged between the actors
cannot get away f rom her love and the audience.
In order t o set their capstone
apart f rom any other performance, the group decided t o
include a very special technological aspect t o the show. "We
had been toying with the idea
of doing something multi-media
before even electing a play," said
the trio, who were enthusiastically supportive of their interactive choice.
When asked about their experiences in the CSUSM VPA p rogram, the P erforming A rts m ajors
looked back upon their education
with gratitude. They appreciated
the f act that the instructors at San
Marcos knew students' strengths
and know your weaknesses. They
loved the program and felt that
the intimate setting and supportive s taff set it apart f rom many
other large campuses. By watching the p erformance these f riends
brought together through the pro-
gram, one could t ruly get a sense
of the value they've placed on
their education.
W hen asked why the students
at Cal State San Marcos would
b e interested in coming to the
student-directed show, Ferguson
explained, " It's an intense play
that explores many different subjects that people are usually too
a fraid t o discuss."
Showing support t o your fellow
students, especially when it
comes t o the recognition of their
achievements here at CSUSM,
can not only boost student moral,
but also provide an otherwise
unexplored cultural experience.
The final showings of "Fool
For L ove" will b e taking place
in A rts 101 at 8pm. The cost is
only $10 for general entry, and
$5 f or students. For more information please contact Russ at

Is wealthymen.com your lucky date?
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
Ladies, have you ever
thought about finding a
mate? What qualities
must he possess? Tall,
dark and handsome,
that's always nice, but
what a boutius financial
stability?
It is widely believed
that many women
would love to have a
rich man, and in an age
of internet dating, one website
claims to have an answer for all
these supposed 'gold-diggers'. Wealthymen.com is supposed to be a site where
women can find "professional men making
$100k+ a year" and where men can "celebrate their success". The site claims
to have "profiles of real men who
have excelled greatly in their life,
but are still seeking a partner to
share their experiences with." All
women can set up aJxee-proiile, but "only a select f ew men can
[join, as each of our members are
¡ verified by a salary approval process."
To see if this was the real deal or if
they were just blowing smoke, I decided
to experiment with the site. Through this
mini-experiment, I found the site to be
making untrue claims. First off, I, a female,
signed up as a 31 year old male. The site
requested to know my salary and f rom
the drop down menu
I chose $100,000.
Contrary to the
site's claim,
the
salary
wa& not veri- .
fied. In my
profile I put
that I was a
lawyer living
in La Jolla. The
day a fter completing my profile I had
requests f rom three female screen names,
each one claiming what they could do for
me, as well as asking for a visual
image of me. I wanted to send
each of them a message reading,
"Haha fooled you! Beauty fades,
dumb is forever," but that would
have been mean, as well as ruin
the "high caliber online dating experience" that wealthymen.com is supposed to offer.
This does not prove that wealthy
r
men don't exist on the site, j ust that you
never know what you're going to get. The
experiment was not to bash wealthymen.
com, but to remind everyone that you can't
believe everything you see on the internet.
Sarakasi African acrobats thrill a full house
BY LISA LANDERS
Pride Staff Writer
Sarakasi, an authentic A frican
circus, arrived at the CSUSM
campus on Wednesday, April
5. The high energy show was
scheduled to begin in the ARTS
Building in room 111 at 6 pm,
however, there was a delay in
getting the show started, due to
the large turnout. Program Coordinator David O rtiz said that for
these types of performances they
would like to see an auditorium
that could accommodate at least
500 people. Currently, the ARTS
Building holds about 140 seats.
To accommodate the anticipated
overcrowding, additional fold out
chairs were brought in and placed
around the borders of the actual
stage. Many joked that they were
going t o become a p art of the
actual act due to being seated so
closely to t he stage. I n addition,
patrons were asked to double up
if they h ad small children who
could easily sit on a lap. Even
though the amount of people who
attended the show happened to
be larger than seats available, the
crowd w as still eager t o see t he
performance. When talking to
married couple Alan and Mar-
garet Dolit, their enthusiasm was
obvious. "We are excited to see
tonight's p erformance because
we went to last month's showing
of Middle Eastern Music and we
loved it." Asked how they found
out about tonight's performance,
they said, "We saw the write up
in North County Times and it
looked interesting." Margaret
Dolit was quick to add, "We also
liked the price." The price, in this
case, was f ree and the show was
open to anyone, even those with
no connection t o CSUSM. The
turnout reflected this, bringing
families, students, senior citizens, and everything in between.
The show featured seven men
originally f rom A frica who could
p erform acrobatics, fast pyramids, limbo, tumbling, contortion, ring jumping, double rope
skipping and chair balancing.
The hour long act was accompanied by authentic A frican beats
and whistles, yells and claps by
the men. One act involved chair
balancing and was a p articular
crowd favorite. Ever so slowly,
the p erformer called "Little
M onkey" built up anticipation by compiling eight wooden
chairs towards the ceiling while
doing handstands on top of each
chair. A s he went up, he crossed about five hours a day, and ate
his heart and mimicked praying only one meal a day to produce
to engage the crowd, while doing such a performance. With regards
this death-defying balancing act. to A frica, they cited forest aniWhen he reached the top the mals as inspiration. Furthercrowd became breathless, their more, this is their first time at

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Some things are
j ust unexplainable.
For example, why
does 50 cent still
rap about having it
rough, and why do
people t hink Dane
Cook is f unny?
There is not much I would rather
do less than discuss B arry Bonds,
but for some reason I bought the
book, "Game of Shadows" by Mark
Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams.
I also watched the premier episode
of "Bonds on B onds" on ESPN, and
attended the Giants versus Padres
game on April 5. It might be because
I like to stay informed about things
and people that I despise so I can say
why they are idiots. T hat's probably
the same reason why some of you
read this.
Imagine what its like right now
to be B arry Lamar Bonds. He goes
to work and 40,000 f ans boo him.
He goes to the grocery store and the
girl scouts selling cookies mockingly
pretend to give each other shots. He
passes by an old person's home and
the residents o ffer to sell him their
pills.
I couldn't believe the atmosphere
when I went to the Giants versus
Padres game. There was a ton of
Giants f ans in attendance and every
single one was in support of Bonds. I
don't know how you can condone his
attitude, even if he is the best player
on your team. The thing that bugs me
most about sports is that they are not
even reality anymore. Name another
profession where you are allowed to
p erform whenever you want, show
up whenever you want, criticize your
boss, yell at your co-workers without
punishment, get paid 20 million and
get cheered by your hometown.
Bonds has won seven M VP awards,
but one award he deserves is for the
person who j ust doesn't get it. This
guy makes Bill O'Reilly look like a
reasonable person. Bonds is like most
people in this world, he is a walking
contradiction. He says and does different things when it suits his particular situation at the time. He wants
the press to leave him alone, yet he is
doing his own reality show. He wants
his peers to recognize him as the best
ball player ever, yet he treats everyone around him like crap. He is the
first one in line at the bank to cash his
20 million, yet he says he isn't playing for the money. Apparently that's
not enough money to knock some
common sense or reality into him.
If you are a professional athlete,
common sense should tell you that
if you inject yourself with steroids
made for cattle, and overnight go
from looking like Urkel to the Incredible Hulk, then there might be a small
uproar among the public. Common
sense should also tell you that your
problems aren't going to go away by
continuing to be volatile with everyone around you. Apparently, when
you're on steroids your common
sense is the second thing to shrink,
right a fter your testicles.
With all that said, I could care less
if Bonds used steroids, because he
isn't hurting me by using them. Also,
cheating and performance enhancing
has always been a p art of sports. I am
not saying that I condone the use of
illegal performance enhancers. I am
j ust saying that you shouldn't condemn this generation, because cheating has always been a p art of sports.
The older generation is always telling me about how baseball players
in their generation were better than
players f rom this generation because
they didn't cheat. I always tell these
old guys that they have lost their
memory, because cheating was a p art
of the game back then, too. Ball players in the early 1900's would take
greenies for a boost right before a
game. They would also use the spitball, as well as sand paper and glue
on the ball. Performance enhancing can even be traced to 776 B.C.
according to "Game of Shadows'',
where it's stated that the Greeks ate
sheep testicles because they thought
it spiked testosterone levels. Human
Growth Hormone (HGH) and anabolic steroids are j ust a whole new
level of cheating.
Either way, I am still going to enjoy
chanting HGH! HGH! while Giants
f ans cheer MVP! MVP!

"Our routine had to be 2 minutes long, and we were
judged based on our technique, use of the stage, formations, character and overall performance," said Silva.
Seven of the nine team members participated in the
competition; however, the entire team had been working diligently for six months to perfect the routine.
"All 9 of us had put a lot of time, commitment, and
hard work into the routine which we learned in October over an intensive weekend dance camp," explained
Silva. "All of us are very excited about our results. The
goal for this team was to represent CSUSM in the best
way possible and raise school spirit on campus. We also
hope to get the word out that CSUSM has awesome club
sports and teams."
The Lady Cougars will be performing their routine at
ASFs Crash Awards NighJ on April 26, in addition to a
new performance.
"Congratulations Lady Cougars: Courtney Beck,
Rachel Gold, Bridget Henwood, Stephanie Kolb,
Amanda Kuboyama, Kristen Peterson, Aliesha Walencikowski, and Stefanie Williams," said Silva. "I am

�Letter to the Editor: So what is marriage anyway?
Dave and Cathy had been
engaged for 3 months and they
decided it was high time to begin
the arduous task of planning their
wedding. Dave's parents initially
objected to a non-Jewish bride
for their son; however they reluctantly agreed to give their blessing provided that the couple was
given a traditional Jewish wedding. Cathy's Parents on the other
hand, had other plans! As devout
Catholics, Cathy and her parents
view marriage as one of the sacraments of the church. Not Surprisingly, they wanted the ceremony
to be performed at St. Michaels.
(The church where Cathy's parents were wed) Arguments
ensued as both sides fought over
how they wanted this wedding
to be carried out. They fought
over everything from location, to
music and food. In fact, the only
thing they agreed upon was that
the marriage was to be legalized
at the county courthouse (since it
was close to where Dave lived),
In this example, what is really
being debated is the "ceremonial"
aspect of marriage, while the
legal aspect is pretty much a nonissue. Many people defend their
view of how a wedding should be
held with such passion because
a wedding ceremony is based
on cultural and religious traditions; two very personal subjects.
Due to the cultural and religious
diversity in the United States it is
no surprise then that heated wedding debates often arise. How-
ever, the inherent legal aspects
of marriage are not typically
questioned. The average couple
who decides to "get married"
will have the ceremony however
they see fit and then register with
the state to legalize the marriage
with all benefits and responsibilities that a marriage will include.
It is possible to be legally married without a ceremony (think
Vegas). Similarly, it is possible
to haVe a million dollar wedding ceremony and not be legally
registered if the paperwork has
not yet been completed. What I
would like to impress upon the
reader is that "ceremonial marriage" and "civil marriage" are
distinct. Think of one as a "union
of the h eart" and the other as a
"union of the wallet".
What many people take for
granted is that there are a lot of
implied marriage rights; rights
that married couples have, rights
that a single person may not
have. For example: joint adoption
rights, military pay structure,
hospital visitation rights, citizenship, joint taxation, inheritance
rights, legal title to a home, privacy rights, insurance rights . . .
just to name a few. The list goes
on and on. These things all occur
"automatically" as a result of a
"civil marriage". We as a species
tend to have monogamous relationships and the civil institution
of marriage accommodates for
that behavior. Since couples who
childrearing
responsibilities,
and ownership to their home and
such, it makes perfect sense that
we create a system that streamlines the legal implications of this
"joint-lifestyle". If couples had to
register jointly for each individual right that marriage currently
gives it would be a needless
bureaucratic nightmare. So rather
than have each couple apply independently for the same 4000 or so
rights, we roll it all into a package
deal that we call "marriage".
The bureaucratic "nightmare"
described above is exactly what
gay couples have to face when
applying for "joint-lifestyle"
rights. Since legal marriage does
not currently allow gay men and
women to wed they must apply
for each right separately, and
some rights are flat out denied.
Civil unions and domestic partnerships attempt to resolve this
disparity, but these legal contracts fall painfully short of marriage. To f urther compound the
problem, each state has different domestic partnership, civil
union standards, so a Californian
domestic partnership may not be
honored equally in Texas. When
gays say they want marriage
equality, what they are saying is
that they want to have the same
4000+ rights available to them
that heterosexual couples currently have. They want to have a
federally supported legal system
that recognizes their families as
Gays can legally hold ceremonies celebrating their love and
commitment for each other, but
none of these ceremonies are recognized by the state, even if performed by a clergy member.
Religious freedom is one of the
things that make America such a
wonderful nation. It has been part
of our society since its inception.
This freedom has allowed many
people of differing faiths to live
together under one government.
This freedom is also supported
by the concept of separation of
church and state; meaning that
the government will not (and
should not) federally endorse
one religion over another. Currently there are many religions
that condemn homosexual relationships, however there are also
many that accept and support
homosexual relationships. The
government has no place denying
civil liberties and rights based on
a religious belief that homosexuality is wrong. To do so is a violation of church and state. If the
government is to give truly equal
rights to all its citizens, this must
include the rights of gays and lesbians to marry the person of their
choice, regardless of gender. This
does not mean that people must
abandon their personal religious
convictions and embrace homosexuality themselves. It simply
means that people must respect
our differences and acknowledge
that all members of society are
l ive together w ill share i ncome,
equal t o heterosexual f amilies.
d eserving o f equal rights regard-
Letter to the Editor:
ASI, a disservice
to this Campus
I do not appreciate reading in
the latest edition of "The Pride"
that ASI was among the participating organizations that brought
to fruition the mock wedding of
several gay couples on campus
this past Monday. While it has
always been quite apparent that
the inclinations of Associated
Students, Inc. has been rather liberal, following the yen of more
democratic among us, I think it.
safe to say that it was assumed
that, being a representative governing body designed to equip
the campus for the betterment of
"all" students, engaginjgin political events that are clearly polarizing and partisan would be at all
costs avoided.
Instead, ASI threw itself into
the arms of catastrophe Monday
by joining PAN and LGBTA in
the public dissolution of the biblical institution of marriage, which
has been and must continue to be
the sacred and completely sanctioned legal relationship between
one women and one man. While
I am sure that the majority of the
Cal State San Marcos community
was not as distraught over the
malefaction attended even by faculty members, I have talked with
several rather liberal classmates
who, although they agree with the
right of homosexuals to enter into
marriage, were rather uncomfortable with ASI's involvement with
the matter, thinking it was better
left untouched.
I am very concerned about
the message this malfeasance
sends not only to students on this
campus, but to the adjacent community as well. The implications
of a "mock" homosexual wedding are . enormous, indicating
that only the sentiments of opinions of the more liberal of our
gentle, college community will
be tolerated and supported by the
administration (which, however
fallacious it may be, is include
ASI). Granted, the majority of
college students are quite " freethinking" and "tolerant", but I
doubt a demonstration celebrating the sanctity of biblical marriage would have garnished as
much—if any—support f rom the
CSUSM administration or ASI.
It appears that we as a campus are
only concern about the offending
of minorities or liberal-minded
populations, and swift to censor
the voices of the more conservative—however scarce they may
be.
Lee Joseph Mitchell
less of gender, faith, or sexual
orientation.
Now imagine for a moment
that gay "civil marriage" were
legal. How radically transformed
would the American society truly
be? For the heterosexual population really nothing would change.
The divorce rate would still be
around 50%. The major religions
would still have the same attendance. The economy wouldn't
really be affected either. Children in existing families would
still have the same parents. Also,
all the social problems we face
will still be present. In fact, the
only really noticeable difference
would b e for the homosexual
people that have been in a relationship for years. From their
perspective a great freedom that

The Star Princess caught fire
and our cruise is
ning we were j etting o ff to spend
a romantic week on an Eastern
Caribbean cruise.
Though I had nothing to base
any expectations
on, I was
t errified
at what
I might
find. My
fears,
however,
were
cancelled! What?!
After finishing my last midterm on March 23, my husband
met me with the bad news. I was
in shock the whole way home! I
was already packed to leave that
weekend for our honeymoon in
the Caribbean, and now, because
someone didn't discard their cigarette properly, our cruise ship
and my honeymoon had been
ruined . .. or so I thought.
As it was spring break most
everything was booked, but
after staying up all night searching on the internet we finally
found a cruise line that had a
couple rooms l eft for more than
half off.
The Costa Mediterranea was
an Italian ship I had never heard
of, but being desperate to salvage our honeymoon, we sent an
e-mail to Vacationstogo.com to
book the cruise. Phew! Despite

almost forget we still had ports
to see. Every night there was
an incredible meal, a f un activity or show, and finally, a midnight b uffet, which left everyone
feeling delightfully bloated and
exhausted.
A fter two days at sea, we
reached our first port, St.
Maarten. The hot sticky air
made us feel like were instantly
somewhere tropical, far, f ar
away. Shopping there was exciting, with exotic items like Guava
b erry r um and Cuban cigars, and
everything was duty f ree and
negotiable. We spent the major-

The next port we arrived at
was Tortola, where we took a

even need goggles to see the
bottom. The shopping there
was more expensive than St.
Maarten, but Pusser's Rum is
a must buy!
Our last port, the Bahamas island of Nassau, was my
favorite. There we took a f erry
to Paradise Island and spent
the day exploring the Atlantis Resort and Casino. It was
astonishing, like Las Vegas on
a little island. If you're in the
market for jewelry then this is
the plaqe to shop. The prices
are a steal and it's all legit; real
jewels, gold and silver.
Before we knew it, we were
leaving the ship and on the
plane ride home. The Caribbean is a must see and a cruise
is the best value. Even though
we're back to reality now, the
memories will keep us going

Stranded in the town of Taft: My time in a boom
BY DAVID BAUER
Special to The Pride
My first experience with a resident f rom
Taft would provide an accurate prediction
for the rest of my stay there. I had been
driving up to visit my parents, who were
temporarily staying in the town of Taft,
when my car broke down. The tow truck
operator's name was "Eddie." He was a
polite and simple man, and had no bottom
teeth. On the thirty mile drive into Taft
he excitedly told me about the town's big
upcoming event: the demolition derby. He
also received three incoming calls on the
ride, one of which was a car that had driven
into a house, another to haul a stolen car
that had been torched. I wondered if it was
typical for him to receive this amount of
business on a Sunday night in a town of
6,500 residents. I also wondered why a man
whose j ob involves cars that are destroyed
would be so excited about watching cars
get destroyed. In hindsight, a fter actually
staying in Taft, I completely understand.
In 1909, the Southern Pacific company
laid out the town-site and somewhat prophetically named it "Moron." A year later
it was renamed " Taft" when the town was
incorporated. Built in an oil rich area of
California, 40 miles southwest of Bakersfield, it produced millions of barrels of oil
in its time. The Lakeview Gusher alone
produced 9,000,000 barrels of oil, the largest ever in the world. It was even the setting
of the 1986 small town football film "The
Best of Times," but the town has clearly
seen better times. A s the oil production
slowed, and the middle class relocated
as local companies were bought out, Taft
. u ^ j j g l quickly became a
boom gone bust.
The downtown
area, with two and
three story brick
façades crumbling,
is now a shell of its
former self. Years
ago the town built
a skate park and
BMX track for kids
to use for free, but
now struggles to
keep their one theater open. Its award
winning schools,
which were built
completely by donations and local taxes
in the 1930s and 40s, are also beginning
to decay badly. The paint has peeled, and
boarded windows do not look as if they
will be replaced any time soon. The town's
junior college is even less fortunate. The
same college that had been able to afford
a world class football program to win the
1984 national championship is now unable
to get enough f unds to prevent it from
literally sinking into the ground. The oil
rich soil was so heavily drilled between

to Catholics as

It is
believed that the last supper would
have occurred on this day and is
observed through various acts of
cleaning, such as foot washing, a
ritual for the apostles in preparation
for their meal with Christ.
Good Friday I s a day of remembrance of Christ's crucifixion, celebrated by Christians with special church services and vigils.
Catholicism calls for observance of this day through a
reliving of the day through a reading of psalms, gospels, and hymns
about Christ's death. Eastern Catholics meet to pray three times during
the day, once during "forenoon," to
pray the Royal Hours appointed for
that day; in the afternoon, the Vespers of Holy Friday; and in the evening, the Matins of Holy Saturday.
Holy Saturday is the day before
Easter and is often referred to as
Easter Even. In the Catholic church,
holy sacraments are limited on this
day and penance is only granted to
those considered to be in dire need.
Dusk marks the beginning of Easter
and is touched off by an Easter Vigil
celebration.
In the non-religious sense, Easter
has been observed through our culture as the decorating of Easter eggs
on Saturday night and a hunt for
these same eggs on Sunday morning,
where many small childrenfindbaskets filled with treats and g ifts said to
have been delivered overnight by the
Easter Bunny. The history of colored
eggs at Easter time emerges from the

this time. It is said that
German
Protestant_s__ wanted t o_
introduce
children to the ritual
of Easter and
adopted eggpainting as a
favored alternative to fasting. The
notion of the egglaying hare was introduced by German immigrants in
New England who told of the "osterhase." Hase is the German term
for rabbit, and it was said that only
good children received gifts from the
osterhase in their caps and bonnets
(which had been turned into "nests"
prior to Easter). It was assumed that
the osterhase had laid the eggs there
while the children were asleep or not
looking.

that this show will be as

Oh no. Not another rapper

movie is not about Tip Harris (also
known as T.I. for hip-hop fans).
In Chris Robinson's directorial
debut, "ATL" brings a whole new

For anyone who hasn't been
outside of San Diego, there's a
whole new life outside the borders of California. In the same
way Eminem brought Detroit to
the big screens, Harris shows the
audience what Atlanta, Georgia is
really like.
Since Harris was born and bred
in Atlanta, it's no surprise that
he could play Rashad. However,
Harris doesn't play himself. As the
17 year old Rashad, Harris's character is far more complex than the
typical ghetto boy. He's like any
other person out there who just
wants to get out of his deadbeat
life. He doesn't dream big, but he
definitely has bigger plans for him
and his brother, Anton (played by
Evan Ross Naess).
This movie was not marketed
correctly. The trailers made

"ATL" look like another drug
dealing and gangster movie. But
that's where the prejudice has to
end. Had I not been asked to watch
this movie for a review, I would
have never given it a chance.
"ATL" is a whole new culture.
This movie has so much going
on that there is no single plot.
It's about an older brother who
looks after a younger brother. It's
about four friends in the last year
of their high school. It's about
the working class and the upper
class. It's about a boy who meets
a girl. It's about a roller skating
crew against another roller skating crew. It's about one drug deal
to another drug deal. The list can
go on. In 100 minutes, "ATL"
should have given you the feel of
Atlanta.
The direction of the movie is
a whole new story. Robinson, a
former music video director, definitely was experimenting with his
filming techniques. Many of his
shots made the movie feel like an
extended music video, and that's
a good thing. The variety of shots
and takes makes Robinson look
like a veteran behind the camera.
With exceptions to some of the
stereotypical characters in the
movie, it's about time there's a positive role model. Keith David plays
John Garnett. Garnett is a multimillionaire who didn't earn his
money through drugs and pimping. Garnett made h is money t he
right way, through hard work and
education. It's refreshing to see a
powerful minority with optimistic aspects to the character.
The movie serves as not another
highlight of the stereotype, but
rather a stepping stone for the
basis of learning about Atlanta.

Police called to calm horld of their songs, models,aairtdyes, hampusAmerican military left,

w
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday evening, CSUSM
was introduced to "One Woman's
Story," a presentation by Faiz AlAraji an Iraqi woman, on her her
recent experiences as an Iraqi.
The evening held much more than
expected, as Campus police had to
be called to the scene.
The event began with a brief
introduction by Fredi Avalos.
"Faiz has literally risked her
safety to be here tonight, because
she felt her message was so urgent
for the American people to hear."
Faiz Al-Araji began her presentation with a description ofhow she
is "now able to see Iraq from the
eyes of Americans, from watching your television." She explains
that she understands what is presented to Americans through the
media, and she understands this,
clothes and furniture."
Al-Araji asks, "What
about the people who
are dying? If you want
to be ignorant and
lazy, then take the
American media as it
is, but if you look for
the truth you will find
it." Al-Araji notes, "It
will be hard."

and working with the governing war, during American Bombing
administration in its killing of the raids over Iraq, dated 5/30/04: "I
miss visiting my sisters, friends,
Iraqi people."
Al-Araji characterized Ameri- and relatives. I miss having tea
can culture as creating "ignorant, with them, laughing, and talking
selfish and lazy people living in a about our kids, husbands, dresses,
and all other trivia. I miss shopping and buying new clothes and
shoes."
Going into a bit of the history
about the American Iraqi conflict,
Al-Araji references Desert Storm
as having "started a culture of
revenge."
She explains that "Americans
tried to get the Shiite people to
fight the Sunni because of their
relations with Saddam." With a
look of pride, Al-Araji then tells of
how the Sunni people would not
join the Americans. Her demeanor
changed again to a serious, yet
sympathetic tone as she described
the situation as an attempt by the
American administration to "send
a message about the Ba'athist ...
that they are monsters, and (that)
the world needs to be rid of them."
According to Al-Araji, Saddam's
revenge killings, that occurred
are also a result of this.
"It's the administration that is
pushing Iraq towards civil war by
separating the country by ethnicity t o..." she explained with some
English help from the audience,
"control, divide and conquer."
Americans seek to "change the
structure of Iraq by letting the
people group by race, and it has
ruined their society by dividing
them." Al-Araji then accuses the
Americans of "building a false
foundation," for the Iraqi government so that "it will later fall
apart."
"The US Administration is no
longer interested in just oil; all of
this is to build huge military bases
in order to stay in Iraq forever."

More than two dozen students cheered on the
second annual celebration of professional entertainers at the Drag Queen Show, sponsored by
the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally
student organization, on Monday, March 20.
Transfer student, Jay Franklin, has seen a
number of drag competitions while growing up
in Virginia, as well as a few here in San Diego,
but never on a campus before. "I'm expecting
a big performance aspeèt with a lot ofhumor,"
said Franklin.
"One of our goals is to encourage reflection on
the issue of gender," said LGBTA advisor, Anne
René Elsbree. "For some, Drag is something
funny, simply for entertainment. But most see
it as validation and as a way to gain personal
acceptance."

NJinth Annual Crash Awards
BY ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
Acknowledging student efforts,
ASI prepares for the Ninth Annual
Crash Awards Night to be celebrated on April 26 at the Center
for Arts in Escondido to honor
dedicated student leaders and
organizations on campus.
There's usually one in every
class, maybe even two or three.
There are some all over campus.
They may be individuals, groups,
organizations, and they are sometimes even invisible. They are the
people and the organizations that
make a difference and deserve a
pat on the back and a thank you.
"This is a night where we have
the opportunity to recognize and
acknowledge student leaders and
student groups, rewarding them
for all of their efforts," says Sara
Gallegos, coordinator of Student
Activities for the ASI. This is Gallegos' second year organizing the
awards night.
The Crash Awards, formally
known as The Student Leadership Awards, was renamed to
"jazz it up a bit, and incorporate
our newly named mascot and
to promote campus pride," said
Gallegos. She hopes this event
will give everyone something to
be proud of about Cal State San
Marcos.
All students, staff and faculty
are eligible to pick up an application to nominate student groups,
individuals, events or organizations from this academic year.
Applications can be obtained in
the ASI Business Office located in
Commons 207, the Student Life &
Leadership Office in Craven 4116,
or on the ASI website at www.
csusm.edu/asi. All applications
for nomination are due to the ASI
Business Office by Friday, April
14, no later than 5 p.m.
The ceremony will start at
6:30 p.m. on Wednesday April
26 and is free for all members of

Drag performers, Regina Styles and Kairo Reed,
entertained audiences with six solo-lip-sync
performances, including provocative dancemoves and engaging interactions with attendees.
"The only difference between me and a woman
is I take my tits off and don't bleed once a
month," said Styles. "Despite that, I am all boy!
If you can't capture an audience, there's no
point doing drag."

$5 for guests not affiliated with
CSUSM. Attendees can expect a
pasta dinner with performances
from student dance groups and a
highlight video made by student
Garvin Ha. The evening will be
hosted by Masters of Ceremonies Farshad Farzad and Elizabeth
Sheets, members of the ASI Programming Board.
Last year's attendance was
estimated at about two hundred
people. This year, Gallegos hopes
to draw in a crowd of at least two
hundred and fifty people. "Last
year, we had a dessert buffet,"
said Gallegos, with hopes that thé
pasta dinner may bring in larger
numbers.
In the past, recipients of the
Crash Awards have received desk
awards, trophies, andplaques. This
year, Gallegos plans on awarding
the recipients with plaques.

Seven student-candidates run
uncontested in the ASI elections,
campaigning to advocate for student issues. Polls opened Monday,
March 20 at 8:00 a.m. utilizing
a paperless online ballot format
allowing students to vote from
any available computer. The fourday polling period will conclude at
5:00 p.m. on Thursday, with electoral announcements made available at noon on Friday, in the ASI
office.
'There are quite a few new
faces in the campaign," said
Heidi Doyle, chair

the Student at Large, the Vice
President of Communications, and
the College of Arts and Sciences
Representative positions have two
or more candidates competing for
the title. Students are welcome to
write-in candidates on the ballot,
added Doyle.
Last year, approximately 1,500
students cast votes, but Doyle
hopes this year's election will
yield a higher turn-out. "Go
vote," encouraged Doyle. "These

tion "perpetuates their stories of
unrest to continue their presence
in Iraq."
When the topic of Saddam was
addressed more directly, Al-Araji,
inastraightforwardmanner, stated,
"Who cares about Saddam? He is
the past, Iraqis want to talk about
the future. Saddam is just a way
for the media to confuse the issue
of Iraq." Later, Al-Araji describes
the fall of Saddam as "trading one
thief for thousands."
Looking into the origins of the
"gangs and mobs" Al-Arji talked
about roaming the streets, her
own description was given on
her 6/26/04 blog: "All of us are in
doubt that these are Iraqis ... The
poor Iraqis stole furniture, refrigerators, and coolers ... but they
wouldn't burn the Ministries, nor
rob the National Museum... these
are the acts of organized gangs
who came from abroad ... awaiting the chance to strike ... People
are saying that many mercenaries entered the country with the
Americans ... mercenaries from
many nationalities."
Al-Araji's mood escalated as the
evening progressed, often reaching
emotional heights that some could
have viewed as hysteria, or associated with mass-media representations of the an Anti-American
rally. Al-Araji, however, describes
herself as on a mission that is "in
her heart, burning and dying, like
her heart," and describes the poor
situation in Iraqi where "the people
are dying from lack of food, where
there is no water, or electricity, and
the unsafe streets are filled with
gangs who roam lawless and free,
despite the presence of occupation
forces."
Al-Araji continued to emphasize
the "mess" made by the media's
emphasis on ethnic unrest, stating repeatedly that the "Iraqis
are all one people united under
one enemy, the Americans," and
observing how "no one has ever
asked about my ethnicity before
the war, now it is all you here from
people."
As the time came for questions,
NEWS
most in the audience expressed
praise and gratitude to Al-Araji's
for coming to CSUSM.
Asking how, with a withdrawal
of all Western aid and troops, she
saw the future of Iraq, Al-Araji
cut the question off, yelling that
she has "never seen any aid on the
streets and that even the U.N. and
UNICEF work against the Iraqi
people."
Soon laughing, Al-Araji talked
about a meeting with UNICEF at
the UN in Jordan, and mocks the
meeting, explaining what was said
to her, "We don't have any programs for Iraqi women now, but
maybe you can help us institute a
training course." Al-Araji continued to laugh.
Rephrasing the question into
how she saw Iraq getting rebuilt
with a complete withdraw of western influences, Al-Araji erupted
into a diatribe on how "Iraq was
one of the richest nations in the
Middle East. Now we have to pay
millions in compensation for war
to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran,
so they can live their fancy lives
... don't ask me about rebuilding,
because we will."
Again, more calmly, she was
asked, "Ok, my question was
where you foresee the future of
Iraq going, now that you are all
united as one people, how do you
plan to rebuild?
Al-Araji, again yelling, said
that "education in Iraq has always
been free, women have always had
the right to choose their husband,
drive cars and work and travel
freety. The Bush Administration
claims to have liberated the Iraqi
women. What have they done?
You tell me?"
After an angry exchange on
conditions for women in Iraq, AlAraji explained, "Yes, there are
educated patriots who can rebuild
Iraq, but they need to let Iraq
choose its own leaders and withdraw all the troops."
When asked about the elections
that took place in Iraq, whether
those were Iraq's chosen Iraqi
leaders, she answered, "Yes, I was
happy that it was arightfirststep,
but the American ambassador
THE PRIDE
interfered with his finger in the
new government and ruined the
future of Iraq. Up till now we still
have no government."
One might understand this
resentment of the current Iraqi
government, as she explained in
the presentation how her son was
detained by the new Interior Ministry, her blog describing him as
a journalist for a magazine title
translated as 'Conflict.' Al-Araji
explained how she "paid a ministry official thousands to get her
son released," and immediately
fled to the country of Jordan.
The air of hostility arose when
attendant Nadia Keilani, not a student, but was seen leaving with
Al-Araji, began loudly insulting
a student who identified herself
as Jordanian and argued with AlAraji over the nature of the military presence.
The Jordanian student promptly
left the room in tears as the rest of
the attendants began shouting over
each other. Campus police were
called to the scene and Keilani was
soon asked to accompany Campus
police out of the room.
Keilani's, only comment on the
issue was that "we came here to
hear Faiz, not for all this."
In the aftermath, student, Kym
Mckinzie, reflected that "It's
understandable, the animosity
she has. They think we support
the actions of the administration
just because they were elected."
Of the event, Mckinzie says she
was "Thrilled she (Al-Araji) was
willing to come tell her story to a
potential unwelcoming crowd."
As to the shouting, Alaina
Despars, student and friend of the
Jordanian Student, stated that, "it's

not acceptable to call names and

the speaker but didn't attack her.
We called the police because they
need to respect us and the campus,
it's not okay to put someone down
or what they think".
An official statement from the
Campus Police is still pending.
With the crowd dispersing, AlAraji responded to a suggestion
that she might have come across
somewhat harsh to American audiences, and might not be received
well because of it.
"I am this way because I want
the troops to pull out, to save you
from getting killed and to save
Iraqis."
When asked what she meant by
'killing us,' she replied, "because
Iraqis are targeting and killing
Americans." As to media reports
of Al-Queda and other foreign
: insurgents fighting allied troops,
she responded with a look of
strength and pride.
"Yes, in the beginning, maybe
there were foreigners fighting the
Americans, but now it is all Iraqi
patriots, united as one,fightingand
killing the Americans wherever
they can. The Iraqi and Muslim
people are angry, the Americans'
violence pushes violence."
Avalos closed the evening with
thanks to Ms. Al-Araji, and the
statement: "This is a forum for
peace and dialogue, because we
are in a war. Faiz is just one voice
to bring into the mix of what you
learn. That's what the University
is about, hearing different ideas
from different cultures, not to hear
one or two sides to a story, but
to hear twelve. Peace has to start
here."

On Campus: A lesson in ethics and leadership
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
CLIMB (Center for Leadership
Innovation & Mentorship Building), in conjunction with Alpha
Kappa Psi, hosted the Ethics and
Leadership breakfast seminar at
the Clarke Field House on March
17. CLIMB's purpose is to "train
and teach students how to be
better leaders and mentors" said
senior and Alpha Kappa Psi representative Mary Miller.
CLIMB offers these breakfast
seminars on leadership every
spring semester. Past topics have
included Women's Leadership
and Shared Leadership. Miller
wishes to inform the campus
that "these seminars are free and
open to all students and faculty,"
and that she highly recommends
them to both.
Patrick J. Kuhse, International
Speaker, Trainer and Consultant
on Business Ethics, was the guest
speaker for this seminar, bringing
his presentation, "Prominence to
Prison: Why Leaders Can Do
Dumb Things".
He shared lessons learned in
his journey from being a successful stockbroker in San Diego,
to his involvement in a financial
fraud scheme.
Students, faculty, and community members came to the
seminar for many different reasons. Keisuke Manabe, Business major, came hoping "to
learn the relations between boss
and subordinate." Senior Mike
Tompkins attended because, "Dr.
Kholes mentioned that it would
be an informative discussion on
ethics." Community member Dr.
Rick Brydges, of the Arc Leadership Group, was invited to the
seminar by a few CSUSM faculty members that he met at the
Kravitz Institute.
Dr. Brydges expressed a great
deal of gladness for deciding to
attend the event.
Before her giving her enthusiastic introduction of Mr. Kuhse,
Dr. Raj Pillai offered thanks to
those who helped make the seminar possible. Alpha Kappa Psi
President Karen Haynes, and
Gretchen Sampson were among
those proud contributors.
When Kuhse got up to speak,
he said, "I am not here to teach
you business ethics, but to teach
you ethics in general." He then
went on to explain how unethical behavior led him to become
an international fugitive for four
years to avoid criminal prosecution.
His story taught us the "Eight
Critical Thinking Errors" that
lead to unethical behavior. First
mentioned was "Entitlement,"
or believing that you deserve
something for nothing. Also
listed were "Super Optimism,"
thinking that you're better than
From CRASH, page 1
The process which determines
the recipient of an award includes
an award selection committee that
is comprised of six staff members,
predetermined by Gallegos. "Most
[committee members] work handin-hand with the organizations,"
said Gallegos. After the committee reviews each application, it
ranks them within each category
and then makes a solid decision.
The Crash Award categories
include: The Cougar Wall ofFame,
which was the 1 individual award
that was ever offered at The Crash
Awards night. The Cougar Wall
of Fame is for Seniors only. There
is a running plaque housed in the
Clarke Field House's trophy case.
Other award categories include:
Outstanding Freshman Student,
Outstanding Sophomore Student,
Outstanding Junior Student, Student Advisor of the Year, Best
Campus Organization of the Year,
Student Organization Member of
the Year, Campus Organization
Member of the Year, Best New
or Revived Student Organization,
Best Student Organization of the
Year, Outstanding Collaborative
Event between two or more Campuses or Student Organizations,
and the Most Outstanding Program Sponsored by a Campus or
Student Organization.
st
everybody else, and "Seemingly
Un-important Decisions," using
Martha Stewart as an example.
"Rationalizing," was mentioned
alongside "Victim-it is," where
those caught play the role of the
victim. "Affection Disconnection," an important one to avoid,
in which those we love start to
drift as unethical behavior makes
a person feel detached. "Lazy,"
speaks for itself, while "Situational Ethics," speak all too often
when people pick and choose
which set of ethics will serve
them.
If these terms weren't enough,
he even offered a bonus critical
thinking error: PIG, which is an
acronym for "Personal Instant
Gratification".
Kuhse urges college students
to "question things. It's a great
vehicle to keep yourself out of
trouble now and in the future."
He also adds that, "loved ones
are the victims of our unethical
behavior."
Following the seminar, a few
attendees offered what they
thought of Kuhse's presentation. Dr. Brydges confirmed,
"The more we know about ethics
in business and life, the better,
because ethics are a fundamental
key part of work, but difficult to
address."
Freshman Christina Ahmadpour found the event " helpful...
I do have ethical values and now
I am confident that I can stick
to them," while sophomore Jan
Peters said, "I learned from his
mistakes. I realize that to be successful you have to make ethical choices." Others, like freshman Sarah Anderson, learned
from Kuhse that, "money doesn't
define wealth." Senior Paul Kennedy even fook Kuhse's advice
to 'question things' right on the
spot, asking about the speaker,
"How much did we pay him?"

Toughest girls on campus at the 'The Clarke'
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY NATASHA HECKENDORN
Pride Staff Writer
Rain and snow deterred all but
two brave young girls, turning
Saturday morning boot camp
into a semiprivate fitness class
for Ana Muslin and Katrena
Robinson, the toughest girls at
Cal State San Marcos. While
most people were warm in their
homes, Ana, Katrena and their
instructor Lisa Bengtson were
working up a sweat, pushing
their fitness limits and sharpen-
1 L/A1
ing their coordination as the rain
poured down outside.
Bengtson's original plan was
to have the class outside, but
the ground was still wet from
last night's rain and dark clouds
hung threateningly low in the
sky. "I had to improvise because
of the rain," said Bengtson as she
moved the drill equipment into
the gymnasium. The rain came
pouring down halfway through
the class, tapping on the roof
and echoing through the gym,
adding percussion to the dance
music playing over the speakers.
While waiting for class to
start, I asked Muslin what motivated her to come out Saturday
morning for boot camp.
"I want to look good for spring
break," said Muslin, who is a
senior at Cal State San Marcos.
Like a lot of women, Muslin was
motivated by a certain swimsuit.
"Spring break is in two weeks
and I'm going to Florida."
For Muslin, fitness is just a
part of life and she works out
regularly not only to look good,
but also to stay healthy.
"I try to work out three times
a week, but as a biology major,
it's hard to find the time," says
Muslin.
Boot Camp is a somewhat
misleading title for what the
class actually was. The style of
the class resembled boot camp
drills, but Bengtson's instruction was nothing like that of a
sergeant. She was an encouraging and energetic coach, and
the girls responded well to her
teaching methods.
Even though Muslin and Robinson were clearly no strangers
to strenuous exercise, Bengtson
managed to put together a challenging workout that combined a
variety of techniques including
palates and yoga.
"I'm not sore now, but I'm
sure I will be by tomorrow," said
Muslin after class.

Bengtson hopes to make organized fitness classes a monthly,
or even weekly, event.
"Now is the time to generate
interest. Classes create a motivating environment and teach
exercises that people can incorporate into their own work out,"
said Bengtson, who is also the
fitness and wellness coordinator
at Cal State San Marcos.
"Now is the time to learn how
to exercise safely and effectively.
It's not about doing 500 sit ups;
it's about having a quality work
out that you enjoy. It's about progressing slowly so that you stay
with it. My goal is to provide a
variety of fitness activities for
all levels."
The classes offered at the Field
House are free and open to all
Cal State San Marcos students.
Students don't need to sign up
or bring any special equipment
unless specified by the class.
For more information about upcoming events, visit the website,
stop by the Field House, or call
Bengtson directly at x7407. She
is available Monday thru Friday
and sometimes on Saturdays
for any fitness or wellness concerns. She can help students put
together a fitness schedule, learn
how to work out a certain muscle
group or answer any other fitness related questions. "If I don't
know the answer, I'd be more
than happy to help you find it,"
added Bengtson.

Jock Talk With Josh: student run radio
THE PRIDE
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Since this
is a commuter
campus, I
can picture
this scene in
every vehicle converging on Twin
Oaks Valley Road; your favorite
beverage in the cup holder, cell
phone on your lap, running late
to class and your radio bumpin'
with tunes or tailk.
Being a sports freak, I jump
around from the Scott & BR
show on 1090AM to Dan Patrick
on ESPN Radio to Jim Rome,
and for a little variety, I tune into
Howard Stern on Sirius Radio.
Everybody has a favorite show
that they listen to, but wouldn't
it be awesome if your favorite
show came from a CSUSM student-operated radio station?
Well, I am trying my best to
make that a reality. Right now
I am leading a group that is
researching the possibility of
creating a radio station for the
campus. This is an idea that has
been talked about on this campus
for some time now, but nothing
has been done thus far.
Last semester I was sitting
in class when my buddy Blake
Brewer asked the question,
"Why don't we have a campus
radio station?" My answer was
that this campus is still so new
that there are still a lot of things
that need to be established.
In recent years, CSUSM has
expanded enormously. When
I started here in Fall 2003, the
library was a little hole in the
wall located in Craven Hall
because the Kellogg Libaray
wasn't completed. Also, a big pile
of dirt stood in place of where
Markstein Hall is now located.
The development that makes
me the happiest, of course, is
that before Dr. Stephen Nichols
became athletic director, I never
thought I would be able to attend
a CSUSM college baseball, softball, or soccer game, but next
school year I will.
Those things clearly didn't just
happen over night. It took a long
process and I am sure this radio
station project will also take
some time. That is the problem
that I am facing. The individuals involved in this project are
all graduating within a year. My
fear is that this project will die
once the five of us graduate and
all of the work that we have done
will go by the wasyside.
With that said, if there are any
motivated first-year or secondyear students that are interested
in participating in this project-,
don't hesitate to e-mail me at
sando026@csusm.edu, or stop
me on campus because even if I
can'tfinishthis project, I want to
see it get done.
Imagine what a campus radio
station could do for CSUSM.
Take, for example, what "The
Pride" has done for the students.
This paper has given the students a voice regarding a wide
array of topics. It has also provided opportunity for many of
the writers. Former Ombudsman and editor-in-chief, Michael
Dolan, now works for the local
newspaper, "Today's Local
News", in San Marcos. Myself,
I have been writing for the "San
Diego Union-Tribune" for over
two years now.
Some of my buddies in the
radio industry got their start at
college radio stations. The new
host of Jammin' Z90's morning
show, Chino, got his start at Palomar College. Tre, another host
at Z90, got his start at Cal State
Northridge. Also, my buddy DJ
Todd E. Todd from Z90 started at
KCR, the SDSU radio station.
A radio station would also
help out other departments on
campus. Imagine our sports
teams having an outlet by which
games could be broadcasted, or
imagine campus events being
recognized all around the world.
The campus got notoriety during
the Michael Moore situation a
while back, but how often do
you find yourself explaining that
there is a CSU campus in North
County, San Diego?
I must stress the fact that I am
not looking for people who want
to be on air. That time will come,
but there is still a ton of research
that needs to be done and then
implementation of that research.
Two weeks ago I met with Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students,
and I think he hit the nail on the
head regarding this project. He
says that this university provides
opportunity for those that want
to build and create something.
Once again, e-mail me at
sando026@csusm.edu if you are
interested in making this dream
a reality. Who knows, maybe the
next Jim Rome or Howard Stern
is a CSUSM student.

The CSUSM Surf Team's A
Team fought its way to a 7th place
finish last Friday, March 10, at
the NSSA State Championships
at Churches State Beach in San
Clemente, earning them a spot to
compete in the coveted National
Championships in June.
Cold rain and wind beat down
hard on the contest site Friday,
making the conditions nearly
impossible to deal with. The
NSSA College Season, already
plagued with poor surf this year,
was forced to run the contest.
The previous event scheduled
last month for Santa Barbara's
Campus Point had been called off
due to poor surfing conditions.
With zero swell in the water, the
line-up looked fit for a waterskiing competition. While the State
Championship at least had something to ride, the stormy conditions made it tough for surfers to
find decent waves to ride.
Unlike most sports where the
playingfieldis even, with surfing,
better waves offer the opportunity for higher points. Few good
waves were to be found on Friday,
and those who were lucky enough
tofindthem usually advanced on.
College teams from up and
down the California coast toughed
it out and made do with what they
had to work with, though. Competitors and spectators alike huddled under the scaffolding and
few tents that hadn't been blown
away with the wind, hiding from
the rain and cold. They showed
how tough the sport can be and
braved heats throughout the day in
the jumbled up, chest-high, freezing surf.
The Cougar's 7th place finish
was fueled by standout performances from Sean Hastings and
Lucas Dalager who advanced
through heats and racked up
points all the way up to the Quarter Finals. The top CSUSM placing was earned by Kevin Onizuka,
who made it all the way to the
finals in the Bodyboard division,
placing 4th in the Final.
The team will bring the heat,
and compete in one more event
rescheduled for Huntington
Beach's Ninth Street on May 13
to determine their overall season
standing. The A team's spot is
now secured for Nationals, but
will duke it out to try and up their
overall ranking for the season.
The B team's spot for the National
Championships is up in the air,
and could have a shot, based upon
their result at the next contest.
The surf team encourages Cougars to spend a day at the beach
and show their school spirit by
rooting the team on. Just look
for the customized CSUSM tent
with the surfing Cougar! The
NSSA National Championship is
scheduled for June 22-24 at Salt
Creek Beach in Dana Point, so
mark your calendars! To keep up
with scheduling, ratings, and heat
times, check out www.NSSA.org.

Fireworks at the Forum spark safety concerns

debate on the issues raised. One student
who asked a non-softball question was
told by a girl behind him to "shut up."
Another student, a Jordanian girl, who
had spent the vast majority of her life in
the Middle East, spoke out in disagreement with many of the points Al-Araji
presented, noting that her experience
in the region had been vastly different.
Although the girl phrased her argument
politely, a member of the audience behind
her remarked that "she was ignorant,"
while another audience member similarly
insulted her and forced the student to
leave the auditorium. Following the exit
of this student, about 10-15 fellow students got up and left, without comment.
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Freedom of expression and intellectual
discourse was stifled Thursday night,
March 16, in Markstein 125, as polite
debate was exchanged for insults and
intolerance. The fireworks at the forum
on the situation in Iraq erupted shortly
after questions started being taken by
the speaker and Iraqi journalist Faiz AlAraji.
Although many students simply agreed
with Al-Araji's position and comments,
or asked for further expansion on topics
she had touched upon, a few students
attempted to engage Al-Araji in polite
The question is: What happened on
Thursday night that audience members at
a Cal State San Marcos forum felt it necessary to insult their fellow peers? Why
were those students who had a differing
view of the situation in Iraq not allowed
to speak or ask questions? Wasn't that
what the forum was all about? Instead of
the exodus of the 10 or 15 students that
left, why didn't one of the several teachers
in the room get up and ask the few audience members who were being insulting
toward those asking questions of a differing view point to leave?
The event ended with a round of
applause, after which Al-Araji referenced
back to the Jordanian student's remarks.
Comparing the Jordanian girl to Iraqis
who support the current U.S. occupation,
Al-Araji noted that "there are people like
that in every war," or in other words, calling the girl, a student at CSUSM, a traitor.
The lecture on Thursday night was
interesting and illuminating, yet it was
also biased and one-sided. The forum
was supposed to be a presentation of new
ideas and differing cultural perspectives,
yet because of the actions of some, the
forum failed on both accounts. The question remains: what happened to respect
and the free exchange of ideas March 16,
in Markstein Hall?

Okay, you're going to think that
you hate me, but read the whole
thing.
Did you hear about the upcoming "Drag Show" event on
campus? Yeah, they're describing
it as a "celebration of professional
and local drag stars."
First off, understand that I have
no clue as to what this celebration
will entail and that I'm a proponent
of gay rights and same-sex marriage. I have papers to prove it.
"Jason, why do you complain
about stuff that you're not interested in?" "Why don't you just
leave people alone?" They're
legitimate questions.
In this case, you can bl ame
someone else (at least partially).
Earlier in the semester, one of my
professors joked about how they
shove diversity down our throats at
CSUSM. This professor went on
to explain that diversity is useful,
noting that no single group's experience is the source of all knowledge.
As much sense as the professor
made, I was still shocked. This
marked thefirsttime that I've ever
heard a professor question the
bearings of our ship.
I wish I could remain a grump

No. Students hold these events
for themselves. They invite some
like-minded folks, and blow
enough smoke until everyone feels
jolly in their bright red diversity

Returning to the "Drag Show",
I'm fine with the plan (not to say
they needed my permission). I'm
confident that drag queens and
such have something positive to
contribute to one's world view.

But can I ask a question? What's
the big deal? I mean, okay, some
dudes like to dress like girls, and
some girls like to dress like dudes.
I get it.
One could argue that minority
groups (like those who support
drag people) hold such events in
order to gain acceptance in society. That's a noble cause.
Are the folks behind the "drag
show" primarily driven by such a
noble cause?
In the online announcement for
the event, it calls on one to "celebrate the breaking of gender."
Is this any different from gaining
acceptance in society? I think it is,
What
i f I'm
for it seems in the former, acceptance is negligible.
In any event, the "big deal"
seems to be about breaking
gender.
The desire to "break gender"
does diversify the view of gender.
Although I have to wonder: Does
this type of cause work to create
the feeling that groups want to
shove diversity down our throats?
Another question: Do some of us
get irritated when it appears that
other folks glorify their differences with little respect for our
acceptance? Would that be very
moral of us? I fear that it would
not.

How t o... Spring Break' in Southern California
BY ANDREW RUISENO
Pride Staff Writer
The time of year all college students look
forward to is upon us, and no, we are not
talking about graduation ... it is this year's
spring break! Sure, you may be graduating
this May, and for many this means entering the real world, so all the more reason
to have one last carefree celebration as a
college student. For those of you students
who will not be graduating in the spring,
this is your week to forget about the trials
and tribulations school seems to bring with
it. However, if you do not have the airline
tickets or the unlimited budget most would
love to have on this down time, here are
some local ways to spend your spring break
in the state that many college students flock
to from around the country.
Spring break is upon us for the Cai State
San Marcos student body and here are
some options for those of you who have to
stay local in a big way. San Diego is the
place to be, so it is not going to be hard
finding what to do but rather which event
to choose.
Belmont Park itself has more to offer
than its Giant Dipper rollercoaster; it offers
a nice day at the beach with that special
someone or friends with arcades and water
sport rentals. Mission Beach offers a great
night life, as well, with restaurants, bars
and clubs. If you happen to stop by the local
21 and up spot Plum Crazy, which pulls in
a younger college age crowd, be sure to ask
for the 911. The 911, according to signonsandiego.com, is the house specialty which
consists of 23 ounces of seven different
liquors that resembles a fruit punch.
Another spot is Sea World, which is $53
per adult. It may sound terribly cliché, but
who doesn't love getting splashed òr least
watching people getting splashed by the
10,000-pound killer whale Shamu? Plus,
it is a good way to kill an afternoon just
walking around eating and making fun of
the tourists while you take pictures of every
event, including your kisses with dolphins
(it could happen).
Or if Sea World is not what you would
consider a good time, there is always the
San Diego Museum of Art, where walking and looking at known art works can be
fulfilling and relaxing under the California
sun.
The San Diego Zoo also offers more
attractions then one can visit in just one
afternoon. With the exhibits and shows, the
San Diego Zoo is truly a place to explore
for $32 per adult ticket.
For the crowd of Cai State San Marcos
students that are under 21, there is no
need to just drive down to Tijuana; there

are places in San Diego for you, too. Lestat's Coffeehouse is this writer's personal
favorite. According to signonsadiego.com,
Lestat's Coffeehouse was named after the
famed brat prince vampire character from
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (most
notable for the novel "Interview with the
Vampire"). Not only do you get gourmet
coffee, but a range of gourmet desserts
and salads and sandwiches. Not to mention Lestat's Coffeehouse also has a form
of entertainment every nigtt, whether i tis
a rock band or comedian.
Soma is also a good all-ages venue to
watch bands play, and this spring break be
sure to catch Bleeding Through on March
31 and the punk band Subhumans on April

For those of you who are over 21, there
are all the usual suspects for this spring
break. The Beauty Bar, according to
signonsandiego.com, is one place where it
asks "the beautiful people ... the hip ones
anyway ... out to play in city heights." The
Beauty Bar is a chic location for the San
Diego crowd who is into fashion, cocktails,
and a 6 dollar manicure while you drink.
In Hillcrest, Hamburger Mary's offers a
good time for Gays, Lesbians and friends
of the community on Sunday nights.

Controversial cartoon brings life to race relations
BYRACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
This season on Aaron McGruder's "The Boondocks," an episode was dedicated to Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. He was alive,
but old. He wasn't quite the hero
that we remember, but America
wasn't quite the place that he
expected after 40 years. At the
end of that episode, Dr. King
gave an incredible speech and
moved to Canada.
"The Boondocks" is not the
typical cartoon. It incorporates
Photo courtesy of Cartoon Network
Japanese anime with adult-oriented language and humor.
According to Boondockstv.
com, McGruder's series was originally a comic strip in an independent newspaper. The comic
strip has become a huge success
and is now published in over 150
newspapers and magazines. In
November 2005, the cartoon premiered on Cartoon Network's
Adult Swim.
The series follows two African-American brothers, Huey
and Riley Freeman, who were
adopted by their Granddad. Their
Granddad took the inner-city kids
and moved them to white suburbia. There is no plot, just their
everyday life.
Many of the storylines are
about race relations. Rather than
completely focusing on racism,
the show also touches on biracial identity, political values,
and inner-city hardships. Huey,
the cartoon's protagonist, wants
to fix the problems with Afriean-Americans. He knows that
racism exists, but not everyone
around him does. Huey's younger
brother Riley, on the other hand,
is one of those people who are
oblivious.
There's nothing new about the
story that many people have not
heard about or experienced. But
"The Boondocks" does bring
something new to the table: The
characters use the 'N-word' so
freely. Yes, Huey, the ten-year
old, uses the word on a daily
basis. Yes, Granddad and his
friend, Ruckus, use the word to
describe every black man on the
show. And yes, Dr. King used it
in his incredible speech.
Some people mayfindit offensive; others will say it's keeping
it real.
One episode of "The Boondocks" will not only make you
laugh, it will make you think.
The content is fresh and the mes-
THE PRIDE
sage of each storyline will give
you a whole new perspective.
If you can bear to stay awake
on Sunday nights, be sure to
catch "The Boondocks" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at 11

p.m. It's worth the 30 minutes of
entertainment. If you can't get
enough of McGruder's animated
series, read his cartoon strip

'Black. White.' brings new color to television
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
"Black. White." is not only a new show
on FX, but a social experiment. Airing on
Wednesday nights at 10:00p.m, executive
producers R.J Cutler and Ice Cube take
viewers on a journey that explores the subtleties of racism in America.
"Everybody thinks of a Klan man standing with a shotgun, yelling, 'Keep it white.'
Everybody is worried about the guy with
the black power, leather jacket on, Afro ...
worried about those kinds of people and
not really knowing that racism is not just
the obvious," said Ice Cube, according to
the associated press.
The show follows two families, both
middle-class and with educated parents,
but one family is black and one family is
white. Thanks to Hollywood makeup artists, the families change races by air brushing, skin paint, and wigs. Then the families
switch roles for the six weeks of produc-
tion, immersing themselves in each other's
culture. For example, Rose, the 18 year old
daughter of the white family, joins a young
black poetry group, and Brian, the father
of the black
family, gets
a job as a
b artender
at a bar that
consists of
predominately white
c ustomers.
The family
lives in the
same household with Photo courtesy of FX networks
each other
for
the
whole process, which gives both families
an opportunity to discuss their experiences
in each other's skin.
According to Latimes.com, Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying that 'Black.
White.' was a "groundbreaking documentary series." Some may agree that the show
has potential to open dialogue about the
issues of race that still persist today, but
others may take
the show as not
such a great idea.
"Black. White."
has been criticized as being an
unscripted reality show rather
than a documentary. According
to Latimes.com,
journalist and cultural critic Nelson
George believes
the series could
potentially aggravate racial tensions, particularly in L.A., rather than leading to
more understanding.
Tensions have run high at times in the
families' household as the black parents do
not feel as though the white parents are getting what the experience is trying to show
them while the white parents feel at times
that the black parents are waiting for them,
to say or do something wrong. It seems, so
far anyway, that the children are learning
the most from the experiment. According
to an article by Chip Crews from Washingtonpost.com, "Nick (son of the black
family) and Rose (daughter of the white
family) suggest that people their age tend to
base their opinions of others on the individual rather than on skin color. Unlike their
fathers, they're neither smug nor mired in
anger, and they're far quicker to learn."
Like any controversial topic, the show has
come with mixed reviews. Regardless of
criticisms, the show is stirring up dialogue,
which is a start at accomplishing what the
creators set out to do. According to AllHipHop.com, Ice Cube said," 'Black. White.'
will force people to challenge themselves
and really examine where we stand in
terms of race in this country."
Amanda Bynes is 'The Man' <f§. » m
BY RACHEL CARRIE WANN
Pride Staff Writer
While the works of William
Shakespeare have been presented
on the big screen many times
over for the young adult and teen
audience in recent years, never
before has the gender-bending
comedy of "Twelfth Night" been
given such an innocent yet comedie modern twist.
While the tragic "O", and
teen comedy "Ten Things I
Hate About You" helped introduce a younger audience to
some of Shakespeare's finest,
those remakes of "Othello" and
"Taming of The Shrew" lack the
endearing nature of She's The
Man.
The plot here brings the protagonist, aptly named Viola
after "Twelfth Night's" leading
lady, to assume the role of her
look-a-like brother Sebastian, in
order to continue her high school
Photos courtesy of Dreamworks
soccer career at a new school
after her girls' soccer program is
cancelled.
The resemblance to "Bend It
Like Beckham" ends there, and
the familiar Mean Girls-esque
high school mentality prevails
as a complicated love triangle
ensues. However, this exceptionally twisted knot of unrequited
love hilariously features the
beautiful Olivia who finds herself attracted to Sebastian, who
really is Viola posing as Sebastian, who has already fallen for
the devastatingly attractive Duke
(yes, named after Duke Orsino of
the original) who loves Olivia...
and then we're back to Sebastian, who neither Duke or Olivia
knows is really Viola.
Phew!
Amanda Bynes
shines here as both
the adorable Viola and
the chubby-cheeked
Sebastian, playing up
her faux masculinity.
While not entirely
convincing as a boy,
the slapstick humor
that comes into play
whenever genders are
swapped is predictable, yet still likeable
enough to keep an
audience pleasantly
amused.
Certainly not on<e of the finest
films of 2006, "She's The Man"
can at least promise a handful of
laughs from the lighthearted, if
not goofy, humor from Amanda
Bynes. This should come as no
surprise to those who are familiar with Bynes' comedic beginnings on Nickelodeon. Bynes
prevails in her dual roles, captivating almost every scene, and
her dorky cuteness practically
overshadows the lackluster of
her supporting cast of unknowns,
enough so as to keep those at
least moderately familiar with
Shakespeare's original works
sufficiently entertained..

Larkin said that the other parts of the
bill are personally disturbing, are a threat

would open up professors to frivolous lawsuits.
He said that the bill was designed to

suggest that the problem isn't addressed

Professors team up for
Oaxacan medicine and
culture exhibit
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
California State University San Marcos
professors Bonnie Bade and Deborah
Small have combined their expertise in
order to create an exhibition focusing on
the medicinal concepts and practices of
indigenous Oaxacan communities living
in both California and Mexico.
The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the
California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be
able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy
traditional music, dance and food from
local Oaxacans.
The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups,
"Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will
perform. Hands-on activities will be
provided by the Escondido Children's
Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food
will be served.
A video will premiere; featuring the
voice and guitar of CSUSM's Eduardo
Garcia, and President Haynes is scheduled
to speak at the festivities.
"Oaxacalifornians" is the term used
to describe the hundreds of thousands of
native people who have left their homes
in Mexico and migrated to California in
order to make a living. With the help of the
Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small
were able to photograph and document the
connections between the communities in
California and Oaxaca.
"This has been a unique collaboration
between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and
anthropology students, as well as the indig- years on the ethnographic research.
The exhibit takes a look at contempoenous Oaxacan community," said Bade.
The exhibit focuses on various aspects rary activities and pairs them up with

Morrow responded to criticisms of the bill by saying, "I can
amend the bill at any time," and
told the crowd to, "rest easy....
that (contested) language is going
to be gone."
Morrow said that criticisms of
SB 5 that maintain the bill will
require hateful or fringe ideological perspectives to be offered for
contrast were unfounded.
"No where in this bill do you
see that there is a requirement
to give equal time to any fringe,
whacko, off-the-wall fairy that
comes in," said Morrow
Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at

faculty of the particular university.

Affairs Cheyenne Barr said she
was concerned that SB 5 would
force teachers to "teach the bad
things about racism and the good
things about racism.. .they would
be teaching biology and evolution
and direct to creationism."
Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to
effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom."
Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi
said that there weren't multiple
sides to every subject, and that
the bill wouldn't require the

Bonomi suggested ASI should

"ASI could investigate to help

VARIETY
Tuesday, April 5, 2005
BY JULIE OXFORD
Pride Staff Writer
Photo by Joelle M. Frankel / The Pride
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
While my fellow students lie
asleep in their beds, before the
sun has risen, I meet up with
eight big, meaty guys and yell
at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!"
"Harder!" "Drive it in!" and
"That's right, long and strong!"
Don't be fooled by my naughty
language—it's my job—I'm a
coxswain.
For the past two years I have
been mastering the art of being a
coxswain (cox for short). I steer
the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and
encouragement, and let my boat
know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish
line during races.
Since we don't have a rowing
program at Cal State San Marcos,
I cox for the San Diego Rowing
Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six
of the rowers in my boat were
Olympic Athletes, and we travel
all over the world racing against
other programs.
Most people associate rowing
with having very strong arms but
the majority of a rower's strength
comes from their legs. The seats
slide on a track with wheels, and
rowers use their powerful legs
and core strength to move the
boat.
Rowing is truly an orgasmic
sport.. .pun intended.
Nothing compares to being neck and
neck on the race course, amidst
the elements, staring down the
coxswain in the next lane over,
and motivating your rowers to fly
past the competition and win the
gold medal. After all, only first
place counts in rowing—there's
only one medal to be earned per
race—and boy does it feel good
to get it!
Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3
was the San Diego Crew Classic
at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a
huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast.
The race course is 2000 meters
and the seven lane course is
marked by buoys of different
colors. Strong winds, usually
coming in from port side, make
this race both challenging and
exciting for coxswains, rowers,
and spectators alike. The course
can be particularly hairy at the
starting line, where coxswains
need to back their racing shells
into stake boats with very strong
cross winds making for a difficult
start.
This past weekend, I coxed
three different racing shells
down the course. All of our races
were very competitive but my
most exciting race took place on
Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand
finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked
boats of Olympic athletes.
We were fighting for second
place all the way to the 1500
meter mark, when Marin made a
big moved for the finish and we
fell slightly behind. In the end,
we took third place, but we were
happy with our performance and
I steered a good course.
I would have gotten really wet
if we'd won first place! Come on
now; get your minds out of the
gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first
place boats get thrown into the
water by their crew.
Seeing coxswains get thrown
into the water and watching races
is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides.
Going to regattas can also be a
great way to meet men. When
else can you watch burly athletes
walk around in spandex? And
girls, isn't it nice to be familiar
with your prize before you get it
home?
Any students interested in
checking out rowing or coxing
¡should visit the San Diego
Rowing Club Website at www.
sdrc-row.org. This sport has
changed my life and made me a
more dedicated person, student
and athlete. After all, everybody
loves a good cox!
The end of the semester is so
near you can taste it. But you are
still here, wading amongst the
numerous deadlines which keep
you awake at night. If you're
looking for a way to relieve some
stress, and maybe get your mind
to stop and focus for a minute, I
have one thing to say to you: go
climb a rock.
Five minutes away from this
campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is
a place called Solid Rock Gym.
It is an indoor rock climbing
gym, one of three in San Diego.
It is the place to go if you want
to quiet your mind and reengage
your body.
When you are balanced on
two footholds and holding on
with all your strength to two
handholds, trying not to fall off
the side of a wall, it is hard to
think about that paper that is
due next week that you haven't
started writing yet. And when
you begin to feel the burn in
muscles you didn't even know
you had you almost forget that
you have to go to class in two
hours. And most importantly,
when you finally master the
incline on the traverse you've
been climbing for weeks you
realize that there is nothing you
can't do and that research paper
no longer seems so daunting.
There are two types of rock
climbing: ascent climbing
(which includes top-roping and
lead climbing) and bouldering.
Ascent climbing is climbing
vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a
partner to take up slack on the
rope as you climb upward).
Bouldering is climbing close
to the ground; either on short
vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of
bouldering is that all you need is
climbing shoes and a chalk bag.
There are no harnesses, ropes or
anchors involved.
Every Wednesday, with a
valid college id, you can climb
for $10 if you have your own
Internet Models Wanted
Short day, good pay.

equipment and for $12 if you
need to rent it. Thefirsttime you
go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions.
The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice.
I recommend that the first
time you go you rent only shoes
and a chalk bag and get the free
lesson on bouldering. Start with
the bouldering, it is the essence
of climbing—just you and
the rock. It is the best way to
improve your balance, strength
and flexibility.
Plan on buying your own shoes
soon after you start because you
are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes
that fit well. Good shoes can
cost anywhere from $50-$150
dollars and they are well worth
the money.
The gym is a great place to
learn and a great place to train
in the off season. But soon you
will want to go outside and
climb real rocks. Lucky for you
it's climbing season and Joshua
Tree is only two hours away.
There are also plenty of great
climbing spots in and around
San Diego County. Ask the
employees at Solid Rock about
where to climb or go pick up a
book at REI, Adventure 16 or
Nomad Ventures.
But whether you become an
avid climber or a once in a while
adventurer I promise it will help
to relieve some stress and give
you a new perspective of just
what you are capable of.

Over 400 women raped and
murdered, 1,000 missing, and the
numbers continue to rise in the
northern Mexican province of
Chihuahua. The atrocities were
vividly outlined in a packed room
at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the
evening of Tuesday, March 22.
Entitled "The Disappeared,"
the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a
chilling realization to those who
had yet to hear about the events
in Mexico and a forum for those
actively working to change the
situation.
Following a brief introduction
by CSUSM sophomore Nancy
Martinez-Molano, the audience
heard the first-hand account of
Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become
a victim. After leaving for work
one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and
after investigation by local police
in Chihuahua City, she was found
raped and murdered. The cousin
of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and
tortured into confessing to the
crime.
Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political
pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a
crime she says he didn't commit.
Translated into English as she
spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted
that by speaking out the Mexican
government "is beginning to do
its job."
Many families in Mexico share
similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to
the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir
lives in danger. Much of the blame
for the murders has been laid at
the feet of the police in northern
Mexico who if not involved in the
murders themselves have been at
least uncooperative infindingthe
real killers.
Drug runners have also been
fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by
kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young
women, leaving their bodies in
the desert. Serial killers from
the United States have also been
linked to the crimes, apparently
noting the ease with which they
can murder in Mexico.
The situation has grown
steadily worse since 1993, when
prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands
of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ-
ment of poor migrant women
that have become easy targets for
assailants.
Much of the controversy has
been centered on Ciudad Juarez
in Chihuahua, where many of the
murders have occurred. Situated
directly across from the Texas
town of El Paseo, only the muddy
waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil.
The over two-hour long event
was closed by Sandra Bello,
a young photographer from
Tijuana who added a strong
visual to the presentation. Bello,
who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched
a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the
shirt design was inspired by a
similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest
and remembrance. We're turning
"t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as
she showed pictures of a diverse
group of people wearing the
shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes,
Bello has been traveling both in
the U.S. and Mexico on a mission
to bring awareness and change.
The feeling in the room went
beyond sadness to one of action
and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student
Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story
Patricia [Cervantes] told made
me want to get involved"

�OPINION
T HE PRIDE
By JASÓNf NKHQLS
Pride Ombudsman
This one's
not funny.
This
is
an apology.
This is my
penance»
An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols.
(Nice guy, in great shape,)
An apology to you, the Readers. : ;;
, V ^ . : • ' ^ •'
I'm sorry.
I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my
integrity, and my loyalty to you.
You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics
fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in
challenging the article Phoenix
wrote about the "Pride denied
ballot access." Phoenix felt the
need td defend her article, and
wrote an editorial in response.
Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM
farfromNCAA" Both appeared
in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just
before you went off to party
hearty M arty^i-.
' The editorial made comments
about Athletics Director Nich-
ols that have been defended by
this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing
the trope of hyperbole." The
'news5 article "CSUSM far from
NCAA" had some corrections
on its 'facts/
And that was the extent of
wrongdoing admitted by this
paper.
What a crock of S@#%!
This paper was turned into a
means of settling scores.
The Athletics fee made it
on the ballot, but the Pride fee
didn't.
So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan
wanted to be heard and tasked
Phoenix with writing a 'news'
article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by
answering the questions posed,
were able to take issue with the
'"Pride denied ballot access" and
the article ended by taking stabs
at the Athletics fee.
Things didn't end there.
After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor
taking issue with the article, and
I joined him in the attack, we got
a one-two punch of Phoenix's
editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next
publication of the Pride,
- T hetnto.
I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend
before that issue of the Pride
was published, I contacted the
Pride office to inform them my
Ombudsman column was on its
way,
I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I
suggested a means to rebut the
comments made by Athletics
Director Nichols.
I suggested that we make an
apology for the errors pointed
out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to
the Editor, but we should list
the numbers. I was convinced
that if the Readers knew the
numbers involved, we wouldn't
approve the fee.
Fd like to say that Ijust wanted
the Readers to be informed, but
that'd be a lie.
I didn't approve of the fee, I
still don't. But, I should never
have gotten involved beyond my
little gray box.
I was asked by Elizabeth to
write the article. I declined,
due to a conflict with my role
as Reader's Rep, Ombudsman,
whatever. I did, however, write
up an example of what I was
suggesting and emailed it to the
Pride office.
That's what I'm sorry for. I
made it personal. I was willing
Women's history not to
be forgotten
BY JARED PETERSON
Pride Staff Writer
I forget sometimes about how many burdens my wife and modern women in general take upon themselves. Society places
Now that Women's History month has more and more pressure on women to take
come to a close any thoughts we have had on an increasing number of responsibiliabout the role that women have played in ties. I don't want to go into all the reasons
history slip from our minds. Some read- why this is, I just want to recognize that
ing this might be thinking, "I didn't even they are rising to the challenges and doing
know that March was Women's History great things in the world.
Arthurian legend tells how the Knights
Month." Well, it was and I would like to
write one more article about women. Not of the Round Table were inspired to be couabout women of the past, but about those rageous in battle because of their love for a
woman. All of us today have a woman in
that we live amongst today.
I've been thinking about how much our life that has inspired us to be courathey deserve our respect. I'm a married geous. Take a moment out of your day and
CSUSM student and my wife recently went go thank that woman. Tell her that you're
out of town for a couple of weeks to visit wishing her a happy belated Women's Hisher family. While she was away I began tory Month and thank her for the difference
to realize how much I take her for granted. they have made in the history of your life.
Her name is Stephanie and she's the best.

to use the Pride as a means to
settle an agenda. I was wrong.
For that, I am very sorry.
When Tuesday came round
that week, I grabbed my copy
of the Pride. On the front was
Patrick's "CSUSM far from
NCAA" I knew that Patrick
took the job I declined, I knew
that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't
fault Patrick.
He's always
struck me as a decent guy. I
don't believe he knew the whole
story.
As for our Editors-in-chief
and Phoenix:
Wednesday night I got an
email from Dr, Nichols.
He wrote some nice things
about me, but 111 get to his
point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging
allegations of a personal nature
against me." Then, he used the
word ^libelous."
Dr. Nichols hoped to set up
a meeting with the Editors
and myself. The meeting took
place between Editors-in-chief
Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael
Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr.
Nichols later that week.
I had hoped and still do, that
Michael Dolan, and especially
Elizabeth Baldwin would do
what I'm doing now.
To admit fault To apologize.
To tell the whole story to you,
the Readers.
That's really all Dr. Nichols
wanted
I especially hoped Elizabeth
would come forward. She's
been the Editor-in-chief in
charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee
and Dr. Nichols. But, that word
'libelous" has been the means to
justify doing the bare minimum
for fear of legal action, in the
guise of Corrections
Clarification. A clarification that was
anything but clear.
Pride is not the name I'd give
this paper at this point
And now, I'll do what others
are unwilling. I submit myself
to your judgment.
If you, the Readers tell me to
"step down," I will.
Derek Heid will be thefirstat
bat next week as the potential Oman for next semester. He'll tell
you thé results. I can be judged
at nicho02Ç@çsusm.edu

�Dear Pride,
I was pleased to see so
many students at the
academic freedom forum.
This was a forum that was
heated, civil, and at times
out of hand, but continued
to show how polarized our
country and campus is.
Even though I am a
liberal, even though I'm a
feminist, and even though
I 'm a hardeòre believer in
progressive issues, I am
comfortable saying that
you conservatives have
a point when it comes to
"academic bias." There is
a load of professors at this
and many universities that
are left of the spectrum.
They have their own
views as it relates to their
disciplines. My fellow
professors in my major
have very strong points
of views on women's
rights and to some it may
appear to be "bias." What
we argue is that some
disciplines can not be
taught any other way.
SB5 wants to create an
environment for learning
that is "fair and balanced."
I don't have a problem with
that, as long as "fairness
and balanced" is not like
Fox news. In fact, the
more views a class has, the
better the debate it creates.
This forces students
to think critically and
become greater learners.
I personally am horrible
articulating a view I do
not hold; thus, when there
is an alternative voice, it
creates a constructive level
of dissent to help students
really think about the
concepts we learn within
our disciplines.
We like to throw around
the meaning word bias as
means of defining a class
that is one sided. But bias
means "to influence in a
particular, typically in an
unfair direction." I believe
that most, if not all teachers
are not "bias" but they
teach subject in a one sided
way.
The problem I have
with SB5 is that it only
affects liberal majors. It
is a direct attack on one
of the last institutions that
hasn't been indoctrinated
by conservatives. I am
no more biased than my
friend Nick Bonomi.
As Cheyenne Barr so
eloquently put it "we
just see things though a
different lenses." But
for the conservatives to
charge that there is no
academic bias, as they
define it, in the economics
department or the college
of business is outrageous.
I believe economics is
taught in a very one sided
way. To make women's
studies or sociology
"fair and balanced" on
the terms Mr. Morrow
would like, is equivalent
to economics teachers
teaching communism
along with capitalism. We
must show "all views." It
was stated in the debate
that economics has no
biases, "its just math." I
personally would advocate
changing the class
name from Econ 201 to
Capitalism 101 to reflect its
real teachings.
I also heard complaints
from students that say if
they spoke out in class they
would be marked down
and failed. The first thing
I would say is that there
already is a system for that.
By the end of the debate
I got the feeling that you
conservatives had a bigger
problem than disagreement.
In the debate you all used
tactics of intimidation and
disrespect towards the
speakers who do not agree
with you all. I have seen
that also used by some
conservative students who
"speak out in class." Who
are you to say the teacher
is being an "indoctrinator"?
As far as I'm concerned,
if you are disagreeing in
a respectful manner and
encouraging debate on
the basis of an issue that
is one thing. However,
if you make derogatory
comments, use tactics of
intimidation, march off
and slam the door, throw
fits in class as a means of
arguments and even make
treats toward teachers...
Well let me just say that's
"immature" and it won't
get you far in life. So,
if you all want to pass
legislation that goes after
majors who are liberal, you
must apply the same to
conservative majors. Then
you can go on and fairly
preach your doctrine of
"fair and balance."

THE PRIDE
King Lear" bigger, longer and uncut
Just the way sissies and snobs prefer # # # © $
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Shakespeare is for snobs and sissies and people
who read books.
Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand
years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an
alienated listener.
For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear"
is not the play to change the mass's consensus that
the greatest plays of the English language would be
a lot better if performed English.
Known across many other languages as one of
the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also
acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the
nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the
play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the
San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum,
the most offensive and depressing aspects
can hardly be blamed on the author,
who was (we somehow need
scholars to confirm) 'quite
a character.'
From the onset the stage
is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use
of half a dozen large
sliding
doors—built
to resemble imposing castle gates—adds
a nice feudal tone, but
the external praises end
there. Attempting to
mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes
range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack
(excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live
flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the
best with what you've got' is your more often than
not—but the first rate performers are just enough so
to show the second-raters for what they are.
Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be
hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays
the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself
a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama
class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for
the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly
if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be
as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask
for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to
factory farmed sitcom stock.
Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come
from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try
reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely
than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain
of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed
rather than clutched at. If nothing else,
watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to
see modernized Shakespeare done
right and well enough to earn
the Bard at least a second
1 chance.
"King Lear" plays
through April 17, with a
handy and necessary student discount. More
information is available
at sandiegorep.com.

Pride Staff Writer
Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth
every penny.
Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have
the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure,
there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but
the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore
makes this a film to be held for dear life
rather than imitated to death. Sure, like
too many comics, its lines are jerked by
melodrama—the fermented testosterone
bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue
becomes as much an element of style as
bleeding fluorescent whiteout.
It's all about honoring the original art,
baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor.
"Official Director" Robert Rodriguez
was kicked out of the guild for working
so closely with the creator, Frank Miller,
(then actually giving him credit for it), but
the end result is better than anything since
"Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest
Director;" the more Hollywood realizes
the talent of comic creators the closer he'll
be to another job at a video store.
Not that a great look doesn't usually
enable mediocre performances, and not
that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove
most screen actors overrated, but a few
did give more than could have been had
by those with cheaper agents, or more love
for the series. It might be too disturbing
to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as
a prostitute, or too disappointing that she
does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's
seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock
coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis
would be silly, if its story context were not
already exaggerated to perfection. Basin
City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of
their own, hold up under mild torture, and
twist something metal into both outdated
and newfangled gender concepts. The
bare breast shots can be counted on one
hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the
encompassing imagery that the other hand
can stay in your popcorn.
And if you think that analysis was
vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought
of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The
point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of
"Desperate Housewives"
spice up late night TV
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer

Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the
housewife has been reinvented.
The new housewife is beautiful, sexy,
smart and desperate.
ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the
way they think about housewives and
forcing people to rethink the meaning of
desperate.
The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama,
mystery, and comedy to show the lives of
suburban housewives.
It is narrated from beyond by Mary
Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed
desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what
if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and
than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening
might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder.
suicide in the premier episode. Mary
Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't
been solved, but her narration provides a
unique perspective into the lives of her
friends and neighbors.
All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what
makes them so relatable.
Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity
Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and
Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary
Alice left behind. Each week they find
themselves in extreme situations and rely
on each other for help.
Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't
exactly part of their group. She likes to
stir up trouble and has no problem using
her sexuality to get what she wants. She is
the woman all women despise.
All of the women have men troubles.
Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's
husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not
relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike
killed a man.
When the women aren't trying to fix
their men's problems and solve their own,
they're trying to figure out who murdered
Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding
Mary Alice's suicide.
A common theme runs throughout the
show and that's happiness. All of the
women are unhappy with some aspect of
their lives and trying to figure out what
went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how
to get it.
The cast of this show is beautiful. The
women are sexy and the men are hot. The
acting is excellent and the sets are appealing.
"Desperate Housewives" has been on a
mid-season break but is back now with six
new episodes in a row.
Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at
9:00 p.m. on channel 10.

Donna Frye shares her experiences with GSUSNI
BY ADIA BESS & ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writers
Donna Frye
San Diego City Council member, former
mayoral candidate and
political activist Donna
Frye has a message for
CSUSM students: "Get
involved. I would say...
not just involving poli-
tics, but just involving life in general."
Frye came to campus on March 16 to
help celebrate Women's History month at
the Clark Field House.
Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye
set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members.
She began by sharing a personal story
about the spousal abuse she endured for a
number of years, which she said made her
a stronger woman in the long run. Then
Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage
to professional surfer Skip Frye started her
political involvement writing legislation
about water quality issues.
Frye spoke about being elected to the
city council in June 2001 with no intention
of furthering her political career.
"Becoming an elected official never
appealed to me," said Frye.
She said that the lack of integrity of the
elected officials in San Diego at the time

At the checkpoint, 11 cars were towed

in the first part of the checkpoint for violations such as expired registration, no

According to Director of University Global Affairs Dr. Peter

Claudino told the students that

"It really opens doors, and

Claudino. "We don't want students f rom j ust Yale or Harvard."
The HE and Zwick are beginning a Development Initiative

currently are not very involved
with the Fulbright program.
Zwick will receive professional
training about the program,
which will enable h im to disseminate information to more

Claudino also discussed the
background of the Fulbright
program, and tips on how to
apply.
The program was started in
1946 by f ormer Sen. J. William Fulbright of A rkansas
to enhance the relationships
between the U.S. and other
countries a fter W WII. Now, in
a time when the need for global
communication is pertinent, the
Fulbright U.S. Student Program
is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study
including A frica, Asia and the
Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program
is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are
f unded by the U.S. government
and the host country covering
travel and study for up to 12
months.
Projects vary according to
individual's i nterests and may
include university coursework,
independent library research,
special projects in the sciences, or a combination of these
aspects.

The candidates proposed ways
of getting students more involved
on campus by t aking interest in
both political and social events.
Some thought communication
between ASI and students was in
need o f a makeover.
" There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos,"
said Heidi Doyle, candidate for
the College .of A rts and Sciences
Representative.
All of the candidates addressed
student concerns regarding the
cost of getting an education.
"We need tuition to b e down.
We need financial aid to b e up.
We need students' rights to b e a
priority for our legislators," said
Cheyenne Barr, V P of external
a ffairs candidate.
"Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts
don't a ffect the tuition here at
school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP
of external a ffairs candidate.
CSUSM Athletic Director
Steve Nichols also spoke at the
event to answer student questions
and concerns about the proposed
Athletics f ee referendum.
" What we are seeking is forty
dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be
able to build t eams in men's and
women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's
baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not
saying I'm gonna make college
cheaper for you . ..I'm saying
that this is gonna add value t o the
campus."
When asked if the candidates
addressed the issues that were
important to h im student Omar
Yanez, a j unior criminology major
said: "Not exactly, but I think
that if anything, Sarah (Leonard)
might have had a closer approach
to the issues that concerned me."
" I would like to see more academic representation of the diversity on campus, said Yariez. "On
election day, (students) should
definitely vote, take two to three
minutes of their time—just
vote."

raises
money for
Multiple
Sclerosis
DUI, from page 1
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
The brothers of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon joined together on
campus to raise money for a
good cause.
On Wednesday, March 17, all
21 members and some Sigma
Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a
table outside the library and sold
pizza for two dollars a slice, to
raise money for the Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) Walk.
The MS walk will take place
Saturday April 9 and Sunday
April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad.
"Last year we donated about
$850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto.
"We expect to donate over $1000
this year."
"One of the girls in one of the
sororities has MS and last year
we donated in her name. This
year we will be donating in her
name again," said Mossuto.
Mossuto remarked it didn't
take any convincing to get these
frat boys onto campus for this
cause.
"They know that it's for a
really good cause and it's really
important to our fraternity that
we give back to the community
and do our philanthropy," said
Mossuto, "We stand for 'true
gentlemen.'"
Mossuto encourages other
students to get involved in the
fight against MS.
"You can donate if you go to
the MS website, through team
Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like,
and you'll know where your
money is going," said Mossuto.

MS Walk can be found at: http://

for intoxicated drivers. In total, University
Police recorded two DUI arrests for the
night. No CSUSM students were arrested at
the checkpoint.
The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when
University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa,
patrolling near campus, observed a white
late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin
Oaks Valley Road.
Estepa said that while questioning the
driver he detected the scent of alcohol and
learned that both the driver and passenger
were under age. Estepa said he discovered
two open beer containers during his visual
sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived
to back up Estepa.
Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger
of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a
fine and his driver license could be revoked
for one year. The driver waited on the curb
just in front of his vehicle with his hands in
his pockets rocking back and forth.
As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the
investigation by asking the driver to stand so
he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow
FRYE, from page 1
business behind closed doors to
avoid controversy is cowardly
and wrong.
Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye
said, "I do not shy away from
controversy."
Discussing her efforts to
change the way government
business is conducted, she said
that she didn't expect so much
support from voters during her
2004 mayoral campaign.
"I was almost in tears I was
so amazed," said Frye about the
overwhelming amount of people
who signed a petition qualifying
her to run as a write-in candidate.
Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy
and Ron Roberts, the opposing
candidates during the campaign,
didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates.
"They looked like bookends
(during the debate) as I stood
in the middle. There were Mr.
Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye
describing the visual of the may-
into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content
(BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice
the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was
handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car
where he later urinated on himself, and his
truck was towed and impounded.
"We make these stops off of the campus
because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it
grows into a much bigger problem."
Koehler says it's important that people
under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and
drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI,
for example, will likely receive fines up to
$5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the
age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail
time.
The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male
in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix
smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint
inspection. Bronson alerted other officers
and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight,
which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After
oral debate.
Frye said she lost the election
due to the voters forgetting to fill
in the corresponding bubble after
writing her name on the ballot
(Mayor Dick Murphy won). She
ended her talk with the current
actions being taken in response
to the outcome.
Lawsuits have been filed on

was adamant in letting the public
know that she isn't personally
involved.
"Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around),"
said Frye.
Frye opened up the floor by

the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the
vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car.
Bronson said that not only was the smell
of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were
extremely red, however, the driver's answers
to all of Bronson's questions were clear.
Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which
indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver
was handcuffed and his car was placed on the
back of a truck to later be impounded.
"This guy (DUI driver) was just an average
good guy like me and now he will suffer like
a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler
remarking on how a DUI and the penalties
that result can be prevented by drivers being
responsible.
All law enforcement agencies involved in
the night's checkpoint are part of the North
County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety
Council. The DUI prevention efforts were
a result of funding from the state distributed
to each agency specifically for enforcing and
preventing drunk driving.

Cal State San Marcos student
Karlene Wiegand was excited
about Frye's arrival on campus.
"She is a woman who doesn't
conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to
Frye because of her work with
water quality issues. "Being
a surfer myself, that was very
important to me."
Palomar College

Rachel Gilstrop shared similar
thoughts.
"Frye is a strong female

What
if
I'm
ence is going to have to pay
attention because there are a lot
of underlying meanings," Davis
said about his film.
Davis, who is an A rts and
Technology major, was at one
point a p ro-surfer before he
began p ursuing his film career.
Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal
Lett in CSUSM's a rt department
and the trio forged Brokenline
Productions. They wanted t o
create an independent film company that supports local artists
and promotes industry change.
Davis said filmmaking "should
be about the a rt and the project."
Each member of the company
brought something unique and
vital to the table. They m ade
their own studio in which they
paid for themselves. Davis w rote
and directed the 35-minute short
film. Forsyth created their logos,
website and designed the sets
for the film. Lett directed the
cinematography and worked his
magic with the camera.
From start to finish, the project
took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay
in three months. The entire film
was shot in f our days, and the
final editing took five months to
complete. All t hree are current
students with 18 or more units
who put in over 300 hours to put
this film together.

�Surfin' waves and
makin' grades
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
sisted of two long boarders, two
body boarders and two women
surfers. Depending on the performance of each of the male
surfers at tryouts, they were put
on either the A team or the B
team.
CSUSM's surf team has been
around for several seasons now.
The team is supported by some
of the surfer's family members
and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006
season will be held sometime in
September. The team is always
looking for new recruits, as
each year a few key surfers are
lost after graduation.
"This whole thing is pretty
much for f un and I encourage
anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout
and support us," Cannon.
For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the
upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at
canno010@csusm.edu.
It's March, and CSUSM's
surf team is getting ready to
make some waves this year at
Nationals. A fter taking fourth
place at Nationals last June, the
men's A-team is hoping to go
back and maintain their top five
status.
According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season
didn't go as smoothly as they
would have hoped with many
competitions being delayed and
even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that
they had a lot of talent on their
teams this year, but lacked the
competition experience.
For the 2004-2005 season,
CSUSM had a large enough
turnout at tryouts to put together
three teams. The teams were
broken down into two men's
surfing teams and one special
team. The special team con-

VARIETY
THE PRIDE
Spring Break is a time to responsibly blow off some steam
BY J ENNIFER I ANNI
Pride Staff Writer
For many college students,
spring break is the only time of
year that it's acceptable to cut
loose and have f un every night
of the week. A fter spending the
semester worrying about papers
and exams, spring break is the
t ime to take a breather and
go out with your f riends.
Of course, you always say
y ou'll spend some time
studying and getting a head
start on last-minute school
projects, but let's f ace it,
during spring break, most
people j ust want to have
f un. So grab your f riends,
I.D. and designated driver,
and get ready to p arty—you
deserve it!
Whether you plan to spend
t he day lounging in the sand ™
or the night dancing on the
tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when
going out with f riends is to pick
a designated driver beforehand.
Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a
coin, draw straws, or p ull a name
f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how
you pick one, j ust pick one.
Ify ou are the designated driver,
it doesn't mean you can't have a
good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e
d runk to have a good time. You
can always amuse yourself by
watching your d runken f riends
make fools out of themselves,
while you, the Saintly Sober One,
take pictures with your digital
camera. The best p art is that you
and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even
left the house! But don't overdo
it. There's nothing sexy about
throwing u p in the bathroom of
your favorite bar while your best
f riend holds your hair back and
your designated driver takes pictures.
The best p art about going out
to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is
getting, f ree drinks. Sorry,
boys, but girls always get
f ree drinks, especially if they
know the bartender. So, next
time you're at your favorite
pub, chat u p the guy behind
the counter. If he knows you,
h e'll b e more likely to comp
your d rinks. Making f riends
with the bouncers and the
bartenders always g uarantees V IP service, even if you

If you are particularly low

If you've got your designated

�Don't hit the beach, hit the books
Avoid procrastination a nd reward in moderation
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Photo illustration by Christine Baldwin / The Pride
Pride Features Editor Christine Baldwin (above) maintains her studious
fortitude while her husband Rob (left) falls victim to the drink.
With spring break quickly
approaching, many students
vow to stay at home and study
while their friends booze it up
in Cancun and Day tona Beach.
While hitting the books may
seem like a dreadful way to
spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and
ahead of the game sure does
have its perks.
So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in
your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on
the beautiful, enticing beaches
of paradise.
Replace that
muscular, suntanned cabana
boy with that exhaustingly
wordy Dickens' novel that has
been smashed, unopened, at
the bottom of your backpack
all semester. Don't hit the
beach—hit the books!
When your friends come
back from vacation, sure
they'll have a suntan, some
wild stories, and a few more
notches in their belts, but
they'll also have a ton of work
to catch up on. With only five
more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed,
sleep deprived, and worn out.
Won't it be nice to smile, take
a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny?
Resist the temptation to party
right now and remember that
"good things come to those
who wait." Summer is just
around the corner, and the day
you ace that last final, you'll
be "livin' la vida loca."
It is important to reward
yourself for a j ob well done,
so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For
every hour you spend typing
that 10 page paper on the
mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself
with 15 minutes of laying out
in the sunshine. If you have
fast metabolism, eat one piece
of your favorite candy every
time you read five pages of
that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't
have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one
at home.
Remember that you are not
alone. There are plenty of
other students just like you
who plan to use their spring
break as a time to both catch
up and get ahead. Find out
if any of these self-loathing
individuals would like to form
study groups with you. Invite
them over for a movie night so
that you guys can watch the six
hour movie version of "Bleak
House." Your teacher didn't
really expect you to read that
novel anyway.
If you feel the need to get
out of your house, take your
lap top over to your nearest
coffee shop and study there.
Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz.
For those of you that don't
live at home, make a trip to
your parents' house and study
there. They'll be glad to know
that their money isn't being
wasted on your education
and reward you with yummy
home cooked meals and a pat
on the back for all of your hard
work.
In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in
many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one
way." You may feel like you
are giving up well-earned
party time by studying over
the break, but when you look
back on the semester, you will
be proud of the results of your
hard work and dedication.
That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work!

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Hey! Quit violating MySpace
Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
I am taking this opportunity to share my
experience to warn all of you that although
you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong.
Take my word for it when I say this cliché
line: "it can happen to you."
As I browsed over the faces of many
others like myself that had been sucked
into this myspace craze I came across one
face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked
on the picture and this lead me to his page
where I was able to read small blurbs about
his life, interests, and whatever else he felt

Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego
that shared many common interests! I
went ahead and sent him a message, not
knowing in the slightest what I had just
gotten myself into. I have never been the
type to even consider meeting anyone from
online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake*
('"indicates names have been changed),
slowly my thoughts began to change.
Our emails through our myspace
accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it
at first, there was a definite "spark" so to
speak between Jake and myself. The more
we talked, the more we realized that we
truly did enjoy each others company. Our
late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my
interest in meeting this guy that now knew
so much about me.
Some of my friends were concerned by
the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake
over the phone, this didn't seem all that
odd to me. I mean, the whole idea
of meeting people online was
new to me anyway! When Jake
told me that he wasn't a phone
person, I j ust went along with it
and we planned a weekend where
we would meet up in person.
Shortly a fter our plan to meet
was set, strange things started
to occur. It began with phone
calls to my work f rom a girl
that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next,
but she would never leave a
message or a name. I found
this odd seeing as though I
had never given out my work
number.
Then only a few days later
I began receiving calls to my
apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that
would
call and
repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years
slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that
that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had

became
friends, Sara went online
and came across another
guy that caught her interest.
This time it was Jake. Due
to the fact that Sara
was now friends
with Nikki, the
idea that
this new
guy
might be j ust another figment of Nikki's
imagination never even crossed Sara's
mind. Sara confided in Nikki about
her and Jake's online relationship. She
explained to me that as time went on, she
became more and more skeptical of Nikki,
and even confronted her a few times about
the possibility of her being Jake.
Nikki always denied this and Jake
always had a way of drawing Sara back to
him. Therefore, the relationship continued
.up until about four months ago when Jake
once again failed to meet up with Sara.
Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she
had done this to her again. She stopped
all conversations with Nikki and Jake for
her own sanity and decided she should see
a therapist.
Only recently, when Sara happened
to fall back in touch with Jake through
myspace did she begin to have second
thoughts about ridding him from her life.
When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this
feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was
a real person was almost too much for her
to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up.
It was then her goal to get a hold of me and
find out if it was true.
Being the self proclaimed "professional
detective" that she was, she tracked down
my phone number and told me she knew
my address as well. She said that was what
years of trying to find out if Jake existed
had done to her. She knew all the tricks.
A bit frightened by the whole situation,
I gave her as much information about Jake
and me as possible. I informed her of how
we had not even talked on the phone and
had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet.
She thanked me for helping her get to the
bottom of things, and told me that she knew
for a fact at this point that indeed this was
Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a
life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and
twisted, I know.
I immediately went to Jake and told him
that I would no longer be in contact with
him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as
possible, but things did not go as planned,
Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted
his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told
him that if he wanted to clear things up
then all he needed to do was call me and
prove to me I was wrong. He refused to
call, therefore, f urther proving everything
was true in my mind.
I then blocked him online and a fter
doing so, my phone began to blow up with
text message a fter text message f rom his
AIM name. The text messages became
increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I
realized I was going to have to change my
cell number in order to get rid of Jake once
and for all and this is exactly what I did.
A fter changing my cell number I also
went ahead and changed my apartment
number and made it unlisted as a f urther
precaution. The more I thought about the
situation, and the fact that I had been in
contact with a girl the entire time, the more
I almost felt like I had been brainwashed,
and somewhat violated.
Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need
not say more. Ironically, when I went on
myspace the following day Jake's page
was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned
the hard way that you certainly must be
more cautious than you think with people

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION
CORRECTIONS
Vol. XIII No.8
In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for
Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not.
In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more
sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995.
CLARIFICATION
The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not
meant to be interpreted literally.

Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a
neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four
beautiful and independent daughters.
Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course
she assumes he left her and their family for
his secretary. She doesn't bother trying
to look for him or contact him, or if she
does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal
and they adjust pretty well to their new
life without dad. Even when he fails to
show up at important family events, like
the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine.
Terry quickly hooks up with her equally
alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role),
a washed-up, former baseball player
turned radio DJ, and together they help
each other heal from the tough breaks life
has given them.
Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye
(Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on
her computer. The audience is never told
why she's making the film or, for that
matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye.
These are just a few of many unanswered
questions in the movie.
The problem with "The Upside of
Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind
of a movie it wants to be and it tries too
hard to be both comedy and drama. The
acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's
icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but
the only thing that resonates after you've
left thé theater are all the questions that
are left unanswered.

relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who
can't afford the monetary
or emotional cost of the
nearest beach-flesh-fest?
We begin at the ' top'
with "Maxim" and, as usual,
a cover model most have
already seen on TV enough
to construct a fantasy f rom.
This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want
to be caught with ' porn' yet
can't bring themselves to say
"the articles." The ads range
f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace
at in those weird European things
lounging in the 'barbershop.' As
for genuine variety, though,
this isn't for anyone
who still refuses
to believe that
good sex requires
an attention span.
The girls are all photographed with the
same lights arid the
articles are mostly lists.
Conclusion: Pick up, flip
through, flick off, next.
The next step in our
descent brings us to what
"Maxim" could never be,
even with real nudity. Of
course, I use the term ' real'
the way I use women: not
at all, hardly. Playboy
has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring
excesses of photo and
cosmetic manipulation.
Personally,* if she's
going to look like a j
cartoon she may as J
well be a cartoon,
but at least Playboy
still helps artists
replace rather than
chase their models.
Even without the i
imagination for j
icons,
there's
enough variation to pick a
favorite, thus
a more lasting
distraction.
As a bonus,
the respectable article
quality might even give you some kind
of fetish for communication.
Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of
"Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the
boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all
be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle
emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has
fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion.
I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved
cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut:
rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but
f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me.

Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy
magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter.
First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally
Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005
issue tackles such serious subjects
as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What
His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals
about Him." Wow. I never knew that
my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that
men like to have their balls messaged
during, not after, fellatio.
Next on the list to improve your
worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're
"Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to
Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two
different types of women in the world.
Unfortunately I am
neither. Hmmm,
could I be an
alien? However,
Glamour is good
pick for the woman
that wants to save
some cash. Practically every other
page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon
H to cut out. Glamour
jm also features top name
H
designer
fashions
W (the clothes nobody
m can afford) along with
where to purchase the
knock-off.
The fashion magazine,
f Elle, is a bit better than
the previously mentioned
self-esteem
blockers.
There are no lame advice
columns that make you
feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you
v aBnR
want to look at, this is the
rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements
with beautiful people.
Whoa, what's that?
'Small breasts are in this
season." Never mind,
Elle sucks too.
Hallelujah! God bless
Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as
the feminist response
to pop culture—is a
shining light at the
end of the magazine rack.
The
magazine focuses
on women's issues
that are interesting
and educational. No models, no
fashion statements, no make-up tips—just
articles
about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers
the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show,
"Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons
are provided.
The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the
misrepresentation of women by the mass media.
Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea
Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me.
I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait.

BYADIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
Several health-related
events scheduled in the
following weeks
The Dome is not a name on
campus that most people become
excited about. We've all heard the
conversations bashing the food
quality, the prices and the look, but
the conversations might just come
to an end.
The Dome is getting ready for an
extreme makeover, Cal State San
Marcos style.
. Christopher Wood, head chef for
the Dome, is expecting some money
(the amount is not yet known) from
the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students
say are much needed renovations.
"I have a very positive outlook
for food service in the Dome in the
near future," said Wood. "It will
certainly be something to look forward to."
Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal
State San Marcos, said, "I think the
Dome is ugly. It's been the same
color for the past ten years, so they
should change it."
Another student, junior Nelenie
Aronce had some unenthusiastic
thoughts as well.
"The food is expensive, and it's a
last resort when you're really, really
hungry," said Aronce.
When talking to Woods, he stated

At CSUSM March is Wellness Month, a collaboration to bring students into the Clark Field
House to experience fun stress relieving techniques as well as to learn ways to live a healthy
lifestyle. Wellness month is also aimed at helping to promote a sense of well-being around the
campus.
All month long events will be held in the Clark
Field House and free lunches and prizes will be
given out. In addition advice will be given on
many emotional and mental issues Cal State San
Marcos students face.
Along with prizes given out at individual
events, a wellness pursuit card can be obtained
at every Wellness Month event attended, and at
the end of March the cards can be redeemed for
shirts and other prizes.
The biggest event of Wellness Month, The
Wellness Fair and Expo, is being held tomorrow
Wednesday March 9. From 11 am - 2 pm at the

Physical Education for
elementary school teachers
On Thursday March, 3 from 10-11 am in Founders Plaza Dr. Laura
deGhetaldi's PE 203 class was learning an activity called "Panel chutes
and parachutes." The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the
attention of many passers-by.
According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have
caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools.
As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers
fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into
the elementary school system.
"It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the
elementary school level," said deGhetaldi.
Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities.
"It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a
student in the class.
Students will vote for their
new ASI representatives
March 21-24.
Candidates
have now started their campaigning process to vie for
your vote. To be an informed
voter, students can read statements from the candidates in
this issue of The Pride. On
pages 2-3, candidates have
submitted statements to students along with the position
they are running for.

Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of
Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the
following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected
budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students
don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on
150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on
Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning
Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to
have funds allocated towards the campus population
as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester.

a coordinator of this month's
events.
According to Romero, getting students and faculty to
work together and promote a
better campus environment for
learning and relaxing is a big
part of Wellness Month.
During Wellness Month,
coordinators like Devon will be
promoting the six dimensions
of wellness.
The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness,
intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the
six dimensions of wellness will
be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension.
Organizers are planning
many different events that students can come and take place
in, such as yoga, self-defense
classes, and a seminar entitled
Chicken Soup for the Cougar
Soul.
Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as
Blue Monday, and different
events such as yoga, progressive
relaxation, and guided imagery
will accompany the morning's
events. Each blue Monday will
try and undertake one of the six
dimensions of personal wellbeing.

the short term goals during the
summer of 2005.

Wood has lots of ideas that he
is ready to begin working on.
"I love working in a University
environment, but I wish I could
just go, go, go! There is a radical
sense of urgency," said Wood.
Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look
bigger, painting with neon or
bright colors, and an upgrade to
the look and names of the five
eateries currently in the Dome.
In addition the food will also
have a new taste. The salad bar
will offer more choices, we will
be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and
four cheese, the sub station will
adopt a new superhero theme, the
quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the
House of Tsang (half Asian and
half Italian) will transform into a
bigger Mexican food concept.
Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the
Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new
area.
This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's
history.
In September of 2002, the
Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to
design and outfit a new kitchen
which included professional
ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers,
a stainless steel food prep area,
pass-through refrigerators, and
separate areas for dishwashing,
food storage, and offices.
Wood said he is very excited
about implementing new menus
that keep pace with the changing
tastes of students.
"Years ago it was ok to serve
grilled cheese and tomato soup;
now campuses have to offer as
many choices as possible," he
said.
Wood said that even with
changes in the menu he wants
to, "maintain foods that will be
affordable to the masses."

Tips and suggestions for a f un and care-free vacation
Poet Bridget Gray coming
to campus for Women's
History Month
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Between parties and sun-bathing, students do not want to spend their Spring
Break vacation worrying about minor
details. So, the smart student will plan
ahead. Spring Break vacation can be
enhanced with the right tools of knowledge.
Before planning a getaway, knowing
where to go is a key point and several web
sites list the most popular destinations for
f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site
has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico
as the second most popular destination.
Since international destinations come with
some much needed precautions, students
should arm themselves with knowledge of
health concerns within a certain region.
Fear not, help is as easy as the Center
for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's
traveler's health site contains information
regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site
has travel tips located on the University
Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm.
edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site
has links for traveler's health, currency
converters and airport guides. There is
also great information on problem areas
that students should avoid traveling to.
For international travel, students have
many concerns to consider and should be
aware of organizations like International
Students Travel Confederation (ISTC).
ISTC will help students to get organized
for travel and offers student discounts
around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also
provides company information for travel
agents that deal discount fares for full time
students. They can keep students informed
and safe while traveling and list approved
travel agencies that students can use in
conjunction with ISTC.
STA Travel is one of Itch's approved
travel agencies and they have offices on
the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific
Beach area. Mike Medina of the SDSU
office explained that students should be
prepared when traveling, especially to a

issues, but someone needs to talk about
them.
Poet and performance artist Bridget
Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's
History Month. Sponsored by Student
Residential Life, Gray will perform in
Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March
14.
Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not
afraid to tackle the issues in life that
others tend to avoid. Her signature
piece, "Shades of Gray," was released
in 2001, and her second CD, "Self
Love," will be issued this year.
Gray has won many poetry slam
competitions and has recently been the
host of a nationally syndicated radio
show called "Electric Moyo."
Her dynamic stage presence and
the relevance of her words will ~
surely make an entertaining evening for those who
attend the performance.

"Do a little research," said Medina,
because students must know the laws of
the country they plan to visit. STA Travel
offers package deals to students traveling
and is already booking for summer vacation.
Local all inclusive travel companies,
such as Summer Winter Action Tours
(S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group
tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T
events. They have trips to Mexico that
include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour
is for members only and gives a safe way
to travel in a large group. The company
has EMT's on site and corresponds with
the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

�Athletics director responds to Pride staff writer
Stephen Nichols offers a r ebuttal to Phoenix Lindgren s article
To the Editors of The Pride:
An article by Staff Writer
Phoenix Lindgren in last week's
issue of The Pride noted that
while students will be voting this
March on a proposed student fee
to expand our intercollegiate athletics program, they will not be
voting on a fee to support The
Pride.
A central focus of the article
is a search for some rationale for
this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes
values athletics more than the
newspaper? Or is it a bit of
revenge for The Pride's coverage
of the Michael Moore situation?
Was the fee proposal not good
enough? Don't people see how
much improved the paper would
be with twelve pages and color?
Who could object to only $2.50,
none of it going to salaries?
As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to
share my experienced in the long
process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as
I went through the process sheds
a lot of light on why my fee is on
the ballot, while the newspaper
fee is not. And not to give away
the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above.
When I took the position as
Athletics Director, my first task
was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite
a record of excellence that might
surprise you if you haven't been
following our golf, cross-country
and track teams ~ eight Far West
Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end
national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion
in the women's marathon - our
department was on the verge of
being shut down due to lack of
funding.
I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU
system and discovered that we
are the only campus in the entire
CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics!
At every other CSU campus - in
fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university
in the country - students pay a
set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements
that fee revenue, but no athletics
program exists on general fund
money alone, as we had been
trying to do.
So the problem was clear;
the solution, though, was not so
simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over
the summer shared something
else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft
moratorium" on campus-based
fees. What's a soft moratorium,
you ask? I had to ask, too - and
so began a series of conversations with some pretty important
people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development,
and Chris Canfield, the CSU's
Lead Budget Analyst.
QTT ONZOMV
Here's what I learned from
them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget
cuts to the campuses, individual
CSU schools might be too quick
to turn to campus-based student
fees to make up the difference.
Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by
imposing new campus fees; no
asking students to foot the bill for
things that were once funded by
other sources, because you worry
that those other funding sources
might be dry up.
This is where the " soft" part of
the fee moratorium comes into
play. The CSU recognizes that
not all proposals for new fees
will fall into the category just
described, and thus an absolute
ban on any and all fees is too
extreme. So the Chancellor's
Office will consider allowing a
new student fee under certain
circumstances - but the proposer
has to make the case for it.
That is exactly what I did with
the athletics fee proposal. I made
the case that we are the only CSU
in the system that does not have
an athletics fee - that this is a
standard fee, found at all CSUs
(and all public universities); we
just don't have it here because we
are a relatively new campus, and
our athletics program is newer
still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would
allow our fee to go forward.
The Pride finds itself in a very
yvirji
different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU
for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It
may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a
real disadvantage: not only is
such a fee not commonly found
throughout the CSU, the fact is
that almost nobody else does it
that way.
That being the case, I can tell
you, based on my own conversations with the people who make
these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would
have approved The Pride fee. A
novel, new fee that exists at very
few other campuses is simply
not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all
this, made the tough decision:
since there is no chance it will
be approved by the CSU, there is
no sense spending campus time,
money and energy campaigning
for it and voting on it.
So the fact that the newspaper
fee is not on the ballot has nothing
to do with anyone placing greater
value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus
The Pride" in any sense. Both
are good for this campus, and
just as campus life will benefit
from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports,
so too woujd it have been great
for the newspaper to be longer
talking
and in color. It has nothing to do
with Michael Moore; if you think
President Haynes is so petty and
vindictive as to operate that way,
you don't know her very well. It
has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of
the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very
good), and no, $2.50 is not too
much to ask. But none of that is
the point; rather, the point is that
the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly,
would have fallen victim to the
Chancellor's soft moratorium.
I'll conclude with a wish and a
hope. I wish someone had alerted
those who worked on The Pride
fee proposal of this reality long
ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee
proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone
go through it for naught.
And the hope? The athletics department is not even going
to apply for any funds from the
Instructionally Related Activity
fund this year (if the athletics fee
passes, we won't need it; if it fails,
the IRA funds won't save us). I
sincerely hope The Pride gets a
nice share of what we might have
gotten; twelve color pages would
be nice.
Sincerely,
Steve Nichols
Director of Athletics

This may seem like an extension
of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The
Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is
definitely a guilty pleasure.
If you have kids or a younger
sibling, you might be able to get
away with renting or buying this
movie without getting too much
slack from the cashier. The rest
of you may just have to wear dark
sunglasses and a scarf for fear of
recognition.
But the movie is just so funny
you can't help but giggle. Like
when Patrick asks the princess if
she wants to see his underwear. Or
when Spongebob gets killed off.
Wait. Did I just say that? Yes,
Spongebob does get killed off in
the movie. It might make all those
horrible Spongebob haters out
there smile.

cial appearance in the movie and
once again saves the day, but a
little more comically than during
his Baywatch days. And I must say
he has the strongest pecks I have
ever seen.
The premise of the story involves
the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger
joint's success. He steals King
Neptune's crown and frames the
restaurant owner. Spongebob tries
to recover the crown so that he can
save his boss and prove that he is a
loyal employee.
The result is a comical adventure
that amuses both young and old.
The DVD is packed with a few
great features too. For animation
buffs, there are two featurettes
exploring the making of the movie,
including one that focuses on the
creator of Spongebob, Stephen
Hillenburg, and the writers of the
movie.
For Spongebob fans, there is an
extra short clip called "Case of the
Spongebob." You won't be seeing
that on the Nickelodeon channel
anytime soon.
Then, for video game buffs,
there a small preview of the video
game that also branched out from
the TV show and movie.
It's just a lot of fun and laughs,
but if you're too embarrassed to
be spending somewhere around
$20 to own this movie, at least go
out and rent it so you too can join
in the fun.

and
What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed
up like a woman leaping across the stage?
Why pretending to be Martha Graham of
course!
The independent film, "Ghostlight,"
starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha
Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker.
Move plays the part of Martha, which in
itself is ironic because he is over six feet
tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he
towers over the other dancers, he delivers
his words of advice to them in a controlled,
alto voice, teaching them the moves as well
as infusing Martha's philosophies.
Time in the movie is non-linear; it
bounces backward and forward with fake
historical film clips to help the viewer gain
perspective into her life. Martha's famous
"I thought it was
inspiring,"-student
Katie Summers
friends, like the designer Halston, Liza
Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry
(who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie.
It is difficult to put a specific label on this
movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take
it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt
like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of
modern dance.
The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and
shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star
of the movie, Richard Move, introduced
the film and was available afterwards to
answer questions. He said that thefilmwas
started around 1998 and took four or five
years tofinish.He also stars in a live show
about Graham called, "Martha
that has
played in New York and has toured around
the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is
finally being represented by a body that is
able to live up to her stature."
"I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM
student Katie Summers. "I was really
amazed."
Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said,
"It teaches you about the arts and how the
creative process comes about."
There is a tradition that dictates that a
stage should never be completely dark after
a show, and that is why a single lightbulb
is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced
the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory
alive in the hearts of her fans.

�Seinfeld
Jonny Zero
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Until a few weeks ago, there was
no reason at all to stay home on a
Friday night watching television.
Now there's Franky G in Jonny
Zero.
Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just
released from prison after doing four
years for beating a guy to death. He
really wants to turn his life around
(no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his
world (which is, naturally, full of
drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard
for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda
guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit
job in a boxing gym, a high-paying
job with the same boss/crime lord
that helped him get into trouble in
the first place (only this time Jonny
is being forced to find some dirt on
the guy for the cops), and he moon-

lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood
with assorted problems, generally
caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos.
There's lots of opportunity for
moral dilemmas and chase scenes
involving his cherry muscle car~
a red and white Chevy SS—but all
that really matters is that Jonny has
plenty of opportunity to remove his
shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season.
Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the
1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all
their kooky and crazy adventures.
Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that
followed the lives of four friends in New York just living
out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell
in love with.
No matter how many times I've seen the same episode,
you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer
entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove.
Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo
Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander
(George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since
my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that
make this show my guilty pleasure.
And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD
you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me
because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld"
reruns.
Tour de France
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
It all started quite innocently six years ago.
Flipping through the
channels, I landed on the
Outdoor Life channel that
was covering the Tour
de France. Boring.. .but
wait.. .these guys are pretty
buff in their neon spandex!
I started watching and
next thing I knew I was
hooked.
For the next 21 days, I
was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words
like "maillot jaune" and
"peloton." I was fascinated
by the picturesque French
countryside rolling by and
the obligatory shot of the
local cathedral.
But it's not about the
scenery, it's about the
drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot
shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler
on drugs? Will Robin do
his comedy routine? Will
the cameraman give us a
good shot of a streaker?
I know I'm not alone in
my secret obsession, there
are many more out there.
You know those people
you see wearing Lance's
yellow rubber bracelets?
They'll tell you it's about
cancer awareness, but
don't let them kid you: they
x^ spend hours watching the
XTDF, too.
\ And we are all counting
down the days until July 2.

When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a
liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to
their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show.
I knew I was hooked from the beginning.
Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite
people forces them to trade families for two weeks.
For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are
allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live
by their rules.
When the rules change the drama begins. Children
resent being punished by someone other than their parents,
clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring
people have fun, and it's great.
At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited
and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to
tell someone to their face what they think of their family,
which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned.
There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity
to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the
people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from
a different perspective.

Parents of students from the Early Learning Center (ELC) preschool gathered in the Clarke Field House, Friday March 19, to discuss with ASI officers the closing of their children's school.
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's

budget,
according to Honey

CSUSM students journey to Fresno to
support safe building policies
FRESNO, CA— Student representatives of the California State Students
Association (CSSA) proposed their
policy agenda for a progressive environmental building sustainability policy to the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday.
CSUSM ASI VP of External Affairs and Environmental Affairs
Officer for the CSSA Erik Roper described the California Student
Sustainability Coalition (CSSC)'s message as "well-received."
"The Chair of the Board of Trustees was seemingly sympathetic
to our plight," he said, despite unanticipated time restrictions to
statewide-traveling presenters.
After Roper trekked hundreds of miles through the foggy dead

Deep in the heart of the
chaotic medieval age are the
tales forged of the dungeon
master,
mythic
gods,
powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant
princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy
assassin lurking in the black of night outside a
raucous tavern.
The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and
keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm
among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games.
Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in
mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the
intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the
wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by
each, if one should dare.
Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless
journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds
of the mind.
The dungeon master
The essence of the role-playing game is found
in the heart and mind of any player who joins the
"campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated
by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master
(GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm
he has created, narrating the events that set the stage
for player interaction. As the DM tells the story,
player characters (PCs) are free to interact with
their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as
they choose, confined only by their own characters'
abilities.
Players adopt the roles of characters such as
warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning
them personal traits such as strength and
intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor,
spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them
with backgrounds and personalities, to be played
accordingly.
Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform
DM's and players as to how their game should be
run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the
uncertainties of game experiences, "character
sheets" that record the statistics of their characters
and sometimes maps of the lands they explore.
No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners
or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the
thrill of evolving into the hero you have always
dreamed you could become.
Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or
living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their
creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)
enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of
total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's
graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and
his gaming companion and master's colleague,
Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise,
employing formulas to recreate the quantitative
game mechanics.
"We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to
his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity
of D&D.
Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread
their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon,"
a garage adorned with black and grey sheets
mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords
and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes

fined speakers to limited representation of various groups.
Four of seven planned CSSA/CSSC presenters were
afforded voice before the board, including Tylor Middlestadt
of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (SLO), Daniel Scheppler of Cal
State Fullerton, Roper, and Pablo Pastor of Cal Poly, SLO.
Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included
Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of
Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State
Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs
and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years.
The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in
2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February
2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong
sustainability policy" in 2003.
Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student
representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose
overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees.
In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report,
Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the
CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including:
No commitment to any specific percent of renewable
energy to be used in the future.
No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability
standards.
In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf
of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including:
Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to
obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable
sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024.
Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines
developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC).
Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be
reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024.
Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct,
operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according
to CSSC figures.
Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said.
Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy
would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions
of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts
- what better time for students to be active and try to save
us money?"

ELC, began the open forum discussion by
asserting that over the five years that she
has been bringing her children to the ELC,
funding has never been an issue until now.
"I think that is because ASI has always
been aware that to meet their needs, they
needed to have a daycare center," Barker
said.
"Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools
have daycare," Barker added, "This is
because those schools have ASI members
who are in tune with the importance of
meeting basic needs for their students."
Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up
their education due to the lack of daycare.
One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that
she only has four classes left, which makes
next semester her last. If ASI decides to
close down the ELC she will have to quit
before her last semester.
"There is no other childcare that I trust,"
Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after
coming this far? To give up a career that
will provide a good future for my child."
Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost
of items budget.
"I noticed that only two items have gone
up (in price), since 1998, while all other
items have gone down," Christine said.
Folk explained that the problem is not
that prices per item are going up, but
rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has
already been made and that with all of the
cuts, including cutting all food costs for the
ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000.
ASI is currently working to get grants
to build a new early learning center that
would be affiliated with the College of
Education. Which, Poggi says would still
not be able to open until at least 2007.
To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may
decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi
explained that they seemed interested and
that they were scheduled to tour ELC later
that day to talk in more detail about taking
over the preschool.
Questions were brought up as to whether
or not the ELC would keep their staff,
and if the program would stay the same
or change. Poggi said that she would
need more information before having the
answers to those questions.
Before voting unanimously to table the
issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board
members promised the parents another
chance to have a meeting solely on the sub-
ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk
explained that this date will be discussed
by ASI and will be available 72 hours
before the scheduled meeting.
The Early Learning Center is one of the
few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM.
According to a handout supplied by ASI,
the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per
day for full-time care and $16 per day for
part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time
care and $20 per day for part-time care.
If ELC is closed the nearest childcare
facility is Discovery Isle, which is located
behind Ralph's shopping center across
from campus.
A representative from Discovery Isle
said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum
of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children
between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade
and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

Benji Master and Andrew Lees study hard for a role-playing game on Saturday with each other.
GAMERS
such as fighters and magic users,
to be cast into an established
environment, conquering foes in
order to complete quests.
Michael Nguyen, computer
science major, and Chris Miranda,
biochemistry major, play Final
Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles,
in which they travel from their
home village, which they named
"CSUSM," to a multitude of
others, protecting them from
"The Mist," which mysteriously
threatens them.
Nguyen plays in some online
groups and with Lounge Krew
members regularly.
"I notice if I don't play games,
I kind of do badly in school, with
nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen
said.
A small society of sorts, LK is
a group of about 50 friends, each
bearing a "Krew name," such as
"Profe," Erik Sager, psychology
sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and
Dr. K.
One member, "Beau," freestyle
raps a routine incorporating all 54
"official" LK names, representing
on karaoke days featured in the
lounge, provided by ASI.
On a near-daily basis, one of the
Krew brings in a game system of
some kind, such as the Playstation
2, Gamecube, or X-Box.
The Lounge Krew said they
no longer take advantage of the
outdated arcades in the lounge,
as one LK member, who preferred
to remain anonymous, asked,
"Why? We've got the games that
we wish they had, that we want to
play. If they had the right video
games, they'd make money."

communal their membership may
be. "Everybody's accepted in
here, cause we're all different
and crazy," said the same student.
"It's kind of like a fraternity or
sorority, where you get to meet
people. Some people come here
that don't even go to school here."
Sager said, "What are you going
to do for like two hours between
classes? Sit outside and not talk
to anybody - smoking, doing
nothing."
Reflecting on the potluck
Thanksgiving LK celebrated
together last year, Nguyen said,
"We're like a big family here."

people play cards would actually
become a televised event? Well,
ESPN had the vision. ESPN
annually broadcasts the world
series of poker which showed last
years champion winning a pot of
over $2.5 million. TV stations
take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards
and by having commentators call
the play by play on the action.
Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit
Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such
as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen,
Coolio, and eventual champion
Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant
was playing for charity which
resulted in winners taking home
a share of the $250,000 pot. To
capitalize on the recent craze of
poker, Bravo will host another
celebrity hold'em tourney later
in the year.
Anyone, even celebrities, can
learn to play poker well. What
most people do not realize is
that poker is actually a game
of skill and not just complete
luck. Professional poker players
have cashed in on their success
by writing books such as "The
Theory of Poker" and "Super
System." Those books can give
some insight on what to do
in certain situations of poker
games, rather than just going
with gut feelings.
The interest in poker on TV
is questionable to many people
because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or
playing poker is more like reality
TV than "survivor" or "the real
world." The human element is
an enjoyable part of the game.
In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and
hope; all of which are a huge part
of everyday life. Every poker
player experiences those words
while playing poker and it is
quite exciting to see what happens next.
So, if you are just looking for
something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make
some extra money just shuffle up
and deal.

Last semester Cal State San Marcos
had to limit enrollment, which caused less
money to flow into the system. Programs
like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend
on that money to keep running. With the
lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their
$1.2 million budget.
Even after ASI's board members
made cuts, their budget was still over by
$350,000.
Their solution: cut funding to the
Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55
families send their children every week.
At the ELC young children, ages two to
six, learn the values of love, compassion,
and etiquette. The Early Learning Center
is cheaper than most preschools, and
more flexible with schedules. The ELC
also provides opportunities for education
students with valuable work experience.
Students and teachers both depend on the
Early Learning Center.
And the ELC depends on Cal State
students to help them with funding. Of the
$324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next
year, students would pay about $106,374.
the
54 per semester
That equals out to about 6.4 percent of
their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per
semester. To keep the ELC alive next
semester it would take another $3.75 a
semester per student.
That's a cheap price to help raise more
than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing
the options setting our priorities, and
making decisions.

For $2.17 per gallon you should
be able to swim in the gasoline
before it spews into your pollution-monster on wheels. Butterfly
stroke or no, that painful number
represents the average price of
gas in North County as reported
by the North County Times.
An initial reaction to this situation may be to wonder why prices
are so high. Through a calm
investigation of the Internet, I
uncovered three possible factors:
A rising cost of crude oil, uncertainty about crises in the Middle
East and Venezuela, and the fact
that an unusual amount of oil

refineries have been shutdown for
repair. Sounds good to me. But
unfortunately, it probably doesn't
matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds;
for we just have to keep on pumping. Right?
So instead of grieving over
high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I
want to determine which product
is the more cost-efficient fuel.
Both goods are primarily sold by
the gallon, and lately, both hover
around the same price. But which
one prevails in a cost/benefit
analysis? Let'sfindout.
A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for
an average price of $2.17. Now
let's select an average car to fuel
up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is
suitable. Honda reports that this
model gets 38 miles per gallon. A

Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical
examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient.
simple mathematical computation
reveals that for every $2.17 we
spend on gas, we get to travel 38
miles. Not bad.4
A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about
$3.50. The label on back of a
one-gallon milk container (one
percent milk) reveals that there
are 120 calories in each serving.
Since a gallon-sized container
contains 16 servings, drinking a
gallon of this type of milk would
dump a total of 1920 calories into
your body.
Now let's select an average
person to fuel up with milk.
According to an online Activity
Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound
person running 6 MPH (10
minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon
of milk (1920 calories) would
enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and
% hours. During this amount of
time, our average person (running
6MPH) would travel 16 miles.
These calculations mean that for
every $3.50 we spend on a gallon
of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out
of our hypothetical person.
Luckily we do not need to
perform any more mathematical
computations to conclude which
product is the more cost-efficient
fuel. A gallon of gasoline is
cheaper than milk and it enables
us to travel further. I suggest
reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results
decree that gasoline deserves our
unconditional support. It is so
affirmed.

Pride Ombudsman
Last Wednesday, the staff of
The Pride came out to Founders Plaza in an effort to bring
the paper to the students and
to recruit for the Pride Literary
Supplement The overall consensus of the affair was positive;
many students demonstrated
genuine interest in The Pride and
die Pride Literary Supplement,
where students can get their artwork published for free.
However* a student refused a
copy of the paper based on the
observation, in her own words,
that Hie Pride is "too slanted/'
This made me think.
If the definition of the word
"slanted" is intending to affiliate
us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is
not "slanted/* I feel we could
remove any doubt by engaging in
a more in depth reporting style.
For example, if we are reporting a
storywith any political overtones,
then the reporter must interview
both sides of the issue: a simple
task considering such groups as
the Progressive Activist Network
and the College Republicans are
both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most
political issues. Something as
simple as that would balance any
perceived slant in our political
coverage.

component here that may be mis-
interpreted by some. That is the as journalists.

reason why this week's issue of
The Pride did not contain the
candidate's campaign statements.
Again, adding insult to injury, it
merely contains an article that
talks about the elections being

only exacerbate the likelihood of

' Varekai'
No words can describe the emotions that arise while all
sense of hearing is being drowned out by the sound effects
of a cave man smashing a bug, splat, squish, quack, first
using him as a tennis ball, donk, donk, donk, and then
kicking the poor bug out of the ball park, whack!
Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven
eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on
through the various levels of the stage. There are flying
people being lowered down from the sky, others popping
up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on
front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel
poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head.
The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing
another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration
of the simultaneous claps of the crowd.
The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the
premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the
Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began
its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4.
The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest
where an extraordinary world exists. A world called
Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever"
and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can
happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest
imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai.
The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a
chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out,
including a cave man character that is always trying to
invent things.
Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music
changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing
softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures.
The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider

him dead until his performance begins. He is lifted into
the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in
mid-air with the net as his partner.
There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls
in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of
Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles
which will not let them be together.
The next several acts that follow are both amazing and
unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are
dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic
make-up detail.
Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they
place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions
on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo
or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal-
ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different
sized items at a time.
The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the
sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the
most capable contortionist in the show.
The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body.
Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the
final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men
swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge
white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another
man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and
orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper
fly down throughout the entire audience.

Of the eighteen positions on the ballot
for the upcoming Associated Students

the candidates running, none of them
have any opposition,

Along with electing ASI representatives,

increase and student health services fee
increase.
Only one candidate is running for
each position in this election«
Campaign advertising
Erin Dalman, corporate secretary and
VP of communication for ASI, organized
advertisements through The Pride,
bulletin boards on campus, In-the-Loop
and on the dougar Channel, making
it aware to students that ASI elections
were in the not so distant future.
According to Crystal Folk, vice
president of finance, ASI spent a
rough estimate of about $100 toward
advertisement in The Pride, flyers,
and posters through Student Residential
Life.
.
'
Information, advertising and all forms
were made . available approximately
three weeks prior to candidates turning
in applications. Applications were due
to ASI by March 2, by 5 pint The next
day the applications were reviewed by
the election committee for grade and
eligibility requirements*
Write-In candidates
"People are encouraged to run as
write-in candidates," Dalman said.
She said that it is unfortunate only one
student is running for each position and
that this is an opportunity for students to
have not only a choice, but also a voice.
A write-in candidate is any student
that does not turn in an ASI application,
but chooses to campaign for a position,
and then has voters manually type in
their name on the ballot.
The option of being a write-in
candidate is not advertised on any
of ASI's posters or flyers. However,
Dalman explained that information will
be posted In-The-Loop, The Cougar
Channel and in students clubs, soon.

vote for or against the increased funding, so
knowing your money's potential may help
you decide which way you will vote.
In a recent interview, director of Student Health Services Dr. Karen Nicholson
addressed what each part of the budget is
paying for and why the assistance is so
imperative. "(The budget) consists of two
pots," she said. "The allowed state budget
pays for my salary and a small part of operations. Everything else, (such as) services,
pharmaceuticals...is paid by student fees."
The reason SHS is requesting fee
increases is that student enrollment is

Dean Lilly Resigns
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride StaffWriter
Steve Lilly announced last week that he will
be stepping down as dean of the College of Education. Lilly has served at CSUSM for fourteen
years after being hired in 1990 as the founding
dean of the college of education.
Following closely on the heels of the Karen
Haynes' appointment as the new president of
CSUSM, this change in leadership has again
made headlines as school district administrators
across San Diego County struggle to make sense
of the drastic changes under way in California's
educational system.
Officials at CSUSM have decided to appoint
Mark Baldwin as interim dean. A professor at
CSUSM since 1995, Baldwin will serve for a
year beginning on July 1, when Lilly's resignation takes effect.

Yellow Ribbon Club M ind the stone'
By TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride News Editor
As one of Cal State San
Marcos' newest on-campus
organizations,
the Yellow
Ribbon Club hosted a fundraiser
at Cold Stone Creamery last
Thursday in an effort to raise
money and bolster awareness
of suicide among students at
CSUSM.
"We want people to be aware
that suicide exists, and that we
should be more open about
suicide, instead of pushing it
aside and hiding it," said Chris
Sanchez, head of CSUSM's
Yellow Ribbon chapter.
The Yellow Ribbon program,
which now operates on high
school and college campuses
across the United States, was
started by the Emee family,
whose son Michael committed
suicide.
At CSUSM, the club hopes to
raise awareness by sponsoring
campus events with speakers,
Sanchez said. They also hope
to purchase a banner soon, since
many students are still unaware
of the club's existence.
The Cold Stone fundraiser
was designed to aid a tight
budget, while allowing Yellow
Ribbon volunteers the chance to
work "behind the stone."
"It's a lot of fun," said
volunteer Tanja Schroeder,
working alongside Sanchez
and Lindsay Hilz. "I've only
been here for half an hour and
I've already been making cones
and s tuff... And the ones that I
burn, Lindsay and I eat them."

THE PRIDE
BUDGET CUTS
Tuesday, March 16,2004 3
In a February 11 interview, the college
representative for the Budget and
Long Range Planning Committee, and
mathematics education professor, Dr. Tom
Bennett adamantly expressed his wish for
"students to understand that the faculty
really is supporting their situation."
Bennett recently revealed a document
previously kept in confidence to evade
outside politicking that might corrupt
good decision making. The text primarily
outlined two principles unanimously agreed
upon at a December 15 University Planning
The latter of these two concessions
provides for new programs and expansion
of current offerings, in order to meet the
needs of the community, according to
Bennett's delineation.
Bennett emphasized that, despite budget
bickering, "There's still a central focus on
preserving what's best for students. I 'm
really happy to see that, because that's
not always the way things run — because
the students are not always at the table.
Everybody's here for the right reason. The
students' best interests are really at the
table."
He furthermore conveyed, "I can't think
of anybody at any of the meetings that I've
been to that stood in any opposition at all.
If they're here I hope that they go.
"It's very heartening to hear the way
things are going, even in bad times,"
Bennett added. Lilly seconded this notion,
saying that, "The good times always end
and the bad times always end, and probably
the most important thing is to keep our
morale up at all times, keeping our focus.
I 'm confident that this school cares about
the students and both quality and access of
instruction for students the most."
Bennett voiced his own encouragement
regarding his role as an educator, saying,
"I know that I can have a real impact as
a teacher. Because of your position on
campus, you can have a real impact on the
community."
FEE INCREASE
f rom page 1
Council meeting last year.
The two priorities highlighted "ideals that
were really held onto firmly as ideals that
need to be put above all others," according
to Bennett, and were recommended to the
University Budget Committee:
1. "The highest campus priority is to
provide quality instructional experiences
that allow students to proceed at their
preferred pace towards degree completion.
This priority means providing enough
in-class sections and other instructional
offerings to meet student needs."
2. "Implement the Academic Blueprint
at least in part through the establishment
of creative partnerships to provide external
and community support."
In addition, SHS would also be able to
offer dental and optometry screenings, but
not treatment.
Improvements would also be made in
orthopedic services and disease prevention. Any excess in collected funds would
also go toward current employees' benefits
plan.
SHS has devised other strategies for raising money other than targeting students,
Nicholson said. "We are in the process of
obtaining (a state funded program) called
Family Pack." The program would offer
STD screening and family planning programs. "This wouldn't just be for women,
but for men as well," she said.
The vote on the proposed Health Services
fee increase will take place March 22-25.
SHS sympathizes with the value of student
dollars, especially with the recent increase
in tuition, prompting their decision to let
students decide with a vote whether to pay
an increased health services fee.

dwindling. While CSUSM estimated the
number of full-time enrollment (FTE) to be
6,643 in fall of 2004, the actual FTE was
only 5,804. This leaves the student health
department short $29,365, with students
paying $35 per semester.
To appropriate the shortage, SHS has
requested students to vote on increasing
the health fee from $35 to $50 starting next
semester.
"The funds would first stabilize what
we are already doing," Dr. Nicholson
said. "Then we would be able to offer an
increase in our hours of operations for our
psychiatry department," which she said
was in high demand.
Nicholson continued, "We would also
be able to offer pharmacy hours during the
same time (as the clinic)."

OPINIONS
we should be covering. I agree that there
are limitless possibilities to explore; I just
want feedback letting me know we are
moving in the right directions.
However, this is where the readers must
get involved. I would like to see Thé Pride
in the hands of more students and faculty
for reasons of actual interest and not just
for criticism. But, I also need to know
what we are missing in order to suggest to
the editorial staff how we can improve. So,
I ask you, the readers of The Pride, what
do you want to know? What are our stories
missing or not covering in enough depth?
These are important questions that I hope
will spark thoughtful responses. My e-mail
is dolan005@csusm.edu. Thank you to all
who contacted me this week with thoughtful insights and comments.
Last week was a good week for reader
comments on The Pride. I received a lot
of positive feedback regarding the special
travel issue. One person commented to
me that this edition of The Pride marked
the first time that she had read an entire
issue from front to back without skipping
any story. I felt reluctantly pleased by the
statement and, of course, encouraged her
to read more of The Pride on other weeks
as well.
A more specific idea that I got from my
friend above was that she was interested in
the content of this special issue. Indeed,
that is something I want to explore in more

Encouraging more Write-in student candidates for ASI
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is getting ready to hold their annual election for
student government officers for the next
school year.
To advertise the need for candidates
for the election, ASI printed up flyers and
posters with the slogan, "Go For It." The
result of this highly motivating slogan is
an election where not one of the candidate
positions is being contested.
"We tried to encourage students. It's
unfortunate that the student body doesn't
care," said Erin Dalman, ASI vice president of communication.
We do not agree with Ms. Dalman, we
think that people need to be convinced
with passion and reason to get involved to
do something. Student government was
all about free hamburgers and enthralling
speeches by Eric Roper to get students

government?
We want to encourage all students at
CSUSM to run for student government. In
case you have not seen the announcement
on ASI's website regarding "write-in" candidates, it is not too late for new candidates
to join the race.
There are so many great benefits and

incentives to ASI that we think the "Go For
It" slogan just doesn't make the grade.
First of all, board members get paid.
Yes, students are awarded scholarship
money for all elected offices. ASI officers
receive a minimum scholarship of $7,999
for president, $6,290 for vice presidents
and $800 for representatives.
Crystal Folk, ASI vice president of
finance, explained why ASI did not put
the scholarship information on advertising
posters, "We didn't want people to do it just
for the money."
Well we want students to run for the
money. We want a student who has
lots of ideas, ambition and passion, but just
can't seem to spare any time because of his
or her part-time job at The Gap. Now he
or she has a great opportunity to quit that
job and can finally make time to work on
making a difference at CSUSM.
Associated Students, Inc. offers students a wonderful opportunity to facilitate campus life at CSUSM. You get a
chance to coordinate functions, including
the annual masquerade ball and schedule
famous people to speak on campus, just to
name a few. The best incentive for being
an elected officer is having an excellent
experience to put on your resume.
Another great incentive of being an ASI
officer is having an office to hang out in on
campus. And if you are elected president
or vice president, you get your very own
personal office on campus. Just image ...
No more computer labs. No more using
your car as your locker. Not even all your
professors have this luxury.
Please become a write-in candidate. Do
not let these few people get all these benefits without doing some work for it.

In the corner of ARTS 340, the video
lab at CSUSM, there's a beaten down blue
couch that nobody is sitting in, and a funky
painted table stacked with magazines that
nobody is reading. That's because the students from Visual Arts (VSAR) 306 are too
busy editing footage for their projects to
think about lounging around.
VSAR 306, video in the community, is
an entry level class offered every spring
that gives students the opportunity to learn
about video production while working
within the community. The class is separated into groups and assigned a community partner, who they then collaborate with
to develop video projects significant to that
community.
Kristine Diekman, chair of visual and
performing arts, who teaches the class, said
that video in the community "makes a nice
bridge between San Marcos and the community."
While it teaches students about video
production, Diekman said, it also benefits
"people who need help in some way," and it
helps "the community members get something done" that they might not be able to
otherwise.

's Day origins
places to celebrate on this side of the *
By LORIANN SAMANO
Pride Staff Writer
In the celebration of St.
Patrick's Day, you could go to
Zip and Zack's for some green
beer, the corn beef and cabbage
or just to check out a band. In
other parts of the world, however,
there are other exciting ways to
celebrate St. Patty's day.
In Ireland, there is a week
long celebration of parades
and parties, and one might
also expect to experience the
excitement in Boston, where
many Irish descendants will be
drinking it up, and enjoying the
city's festivities of decorative
floats and other funfilledevents.
In honor of St. Patrick, here's
something to think about while
enjoying a green beer and
hanging out with your friends:
Why is this the day people
wear green and partake in liquid
pleasures?
St. Patrick was the patron
saint of Ireland and was born in
Wales about AD 385. At the age
of sixteen, he was captured by
marauders who kept him captive.
While enslaved, he grew closer
to God, and after six years of
enslavement, he escaped and
years later joined a monastery for
a period of twelve years. During
his years in the monastery,
he decided his calling was to
convert the pagans, of Ireland, to
Christianity.
It was not an easy task since his
superiors appointed St. Palladius
to Ireland, and two years later
Patrick, having adopted this
as his Christian name, was
appointed as second bishop to
Ireland, and St. Palladius was
transferred to Scotland.
Although
Patrick
was
successful at winning converts,
the Celtic druids did not agree
with him and locked him up
several times. He escaped several
times. He traveled throughout
Ireland establishing monasteries
across the country; as well
as schools and churches that
would aid in the conversion of
the Irish country to Christianity.
St. Patrick's mission lasted for
thirty years before he retired and
then died on March 17 in AD
461. That's the day we all know
as St. Patrick's Day and have
celebrated ever since.
There is also some interesting
folk lore to chat about being
that St. Patrick was believed to
raise the dead, oooh. There is
also a rumor that people said
he drove all the snakes from
Ireland, however, no snakes were
ever native to Ireland; snakes
might have been spoken of to
symbolize the conversions of the
pagans to Christianity. There's
also the leprechaun; that if one
startled him, he would take you
to a pot of gold. Then there's the
fact that corn beef and cabbage
was not a traditional dish in
Ireland, but only traditional to
the Irish immigrants who came
to America and could only afford
this type of food, which then
became an American Irish dish.
And then there's the shamrock.
St. Patrick was said to have used
this symbol to explain the holy
trinity to his followers. He used
the three-leafed shamrock in his
sermons to represent how the
Father, the Son, and the Holy
Sprit could all exist as separate
elements of the same entity. This
is when his followers adopted the
custom of wearing a shamrock
on his feast day.
St. Patrick's Day became a
custom in America in 1737,
in Boston, which was the first
year that St. Patrick's Day
was publicly celebrated in this
country.
If you're looking forward to
celebrating St. Patty's Day, you
might try North County where
you could stop by The Blvd,
in San Marcos to check out the
bands the Plug Uglys and Scotch
Green for five bucks. There's
also Tom Giblins, a traditional
Irish pub, in Carlsbad, for some
entertainment. Maybe you live
near the Belly up, in Solana
Beach, where they're having a
St. Patty's Day party with the
band Skelpin, playing traditional
Celtic music. Or, you could
journey down town, where
there will be a celebration in the
Gaslamp quarter with a musical
block party from 5 p.m. until
midnight with fifteen of your
favorite bars and restaurants.

The Vagina Monologues' to bring women's voices to CSUSM
By LAURA WHTTAKER
Pride StaffWriter
From tampons to orgasms,
from pubic hair to childbirth,
from genital mutilation to sex,
"The Vagina Monologues"
(TVM) delves into the most
coveted and misunderstood
foundations of the female
persona.
Tomorrow, March 17 at 7:30
p.m. in ARTS 240 students
can see a performance of this
intriguing show.
An original work by internationally acclaimed playwright
Eve Ensler, TVM is based on
Ensler's interviews with over
200 women who were willing to speak out about their
vaginas, sometimes with great
emotion and detail.
These testimonies range
from answers to questions
like, "If your vagina could
talk, what would it say in two
words?" to detailed re-enactments of women's experiences with sexual abuse and
torture.
The show is always changing as Ensler updates her work
every year based on her latest
interactions with women.
These declarations have
grown from a one-woman
show, to a globally executed
creation, usually performed
by three or more women.
The V-Day Oceanside
Troupe, organized by local
resident Cari Bacon, came
together to perform the controversially titled play last
month at the Star Theatre in
Oceanside for the second year
in a row. After being invited
to see the sold out show, student coordinator for women's
studies at CSUSM, Josh
Harris, encouraged the ladies
to perform their work on the
CSUSM campus as part of an
extensive series of events in
recognition of Women's History Month.
This time of the year is particularly significant for performances of TVM because from
it has sprung a movement
called V-Day that focuses on

raising awareness about violence against women, as well
as taking a proactive stand
toward eradicating it.
V-Day is celebrated on
February 14, and most performances of TVM are concentrated around this time
however, women who are
involved in V-Day are active
in their efforts all year long,
traveling to places like Juarez,
Cairo and Afghanistan in order
to help end violence against
women and girls everywhere.
According to Harris and
associate professor of women's studies Linda Pershing,
there have been numerous
calls from the community in
response to the advertisement
of TVM in local papers. The
public is not only interested
in coming to the performance
at CSUSM, they are worried
about getting tickets.
Bacon will be performing along with five or six
other women who were also
involved in the Oceanside performance of TVM, including
CSUSM student Cassandra
Collins.
Dynamite! Boss sounds of 60's style reggae
are exploding in the underground scene once
again and The Aggrolites are front and center
leading the come back under the Axe Records
label. Their new CD entitled "Dirty Reggae"
encompasses all the elements needed to brew up
a solid delivery of this vintage style reggae.
The Aggrolites got their name by fusing the
names of reggae greats the Aggrovators and the
Crystalites. Their sound is influenced by the
Hippy Boys, Tower Of Power, The Clash, The
Upsetters, War, Bleachers, Pioneers, The Who,
The Meters and Jackie Mittoo.
The members of this band have played in
such bands as the Rhythm Doctors, The Vessels,
See Spot, King Apparatus, Dub Street Rockers,
Kingston 10, and have opened for reggae legend
Prince Buster.
The wailing, skanking rhythm guitar of Brian
Dixon intertwined with the plucking leads of
Jesse Wagner laid over a heavy harmonizing
organ give a feel of being in Jamaica.
The vocals on this CD laid down by Wagner
are scratchy, grinding and reminiscent of the
high soulful sound of reggae greats such as
Desmond Decker, Laurel Atkins and Drakar
from The Adjusters.
Thefirstsong on the album, "Hot Spot," starts
out with an intricate drum line by Korey Horn
accompanied by cowbells. It is an audio assault
when the organ, drum and bass bring it on
home. J. Bonner, the bass player, plays punchy,
pounding bass lines that can be felt in the hip.
Wagner's lyrics encompass a combination
of updated nursery songs, romantic lyrics,
proverbs and street wisdom.
"The Stampede," another song on the
album, starts out with an announcement that
the stampede is coming. This musical number
is a well balanced blend of galloping skank,
plucking guitar and heavy organ played by
Roger Rivas together with an up tempo tight
drum and bass, sprinkled with an in your face
trombone section.
"This aint no disco doing the funk, this aint
no hip hop shake your rump," are the lyrics in
another track sure to make you want to cut the
rug, titled "Pop the Trunk."
"We were trying to come up with song ideas
and Deston Berry (Hepcat) suggested 'pop the
trunk' since it's something we always ask our
friends to do, so we came up with T op the
Trunk,'" Wagner said.
This isn't the ordinary overproduced MTV
reggae you're used to, this is soul and though
it won't make the Billboard's top ten, it is great.
You'll need a Cliff bar to groove through this
whole CD.
If you love reggae, ska, or rock steady
then this is truly an album your collection
shouldn't be without. You can pick this
album up at www.theaggrolites.com or at
www.axerecords.com also at Lou's Records and
other great music shops. Enjoy.

California's First Openly Gay Woman D.A, Visits CSUSM
By JARED THOMPSON

District Attorney Bonnie
Dumanis spoke with students about her experiences
of being a gay, Republican
woman running for an
elected position, which is
typically held by, as Dumanis puts it, "a good ole boy."

states Dumanis, "when the

nobody will lose their job."
Dumanis also plans to
start a sexual assault division. Upon the establishment of this new division,
Dumanis wants to open old
murder cases and apply the
newest DNA technology to
them in order to see if the
appropriate criminals are
in jail, and to make sure
that there are no murderers
out in the general public.
Overall, Dumanis wants
to be remembered not for
her gender, sexual preference or political beliefs,
but instead for the D. A who
did the "right things for the
right reasons."

During her
lecture,
Dumanis also addressed the
gender barriers that permeated her political campaign.
"Many people thought I
wasn't tough enough to
be a D.A because I am a
woman," said Dumanis.
She continued to comment
on the nature of men and
women in law enforcement,
noting that men and women
simply respond differently,
but provided no examples.
Professor Garcia of the
Women's Studies department disagreed slightly
with Dumanis' assumptions
of the innate differences
between men and women.
Garcia asserts that gender
"is socially constructed, not
biologically determined."
Women respond differently
than men because "this is
how they were socialized to
'do gender' and not because
it is something biologically
innate."
Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an
experienced county clerk,

Speers was responsible for

of directors and overseeing
that ASI staff implements
the board's goals. The
executive director serves as
a member on the division of
student affairs senior management team and directs
the financial, risk management and developmental
aspects of ASI.
ASI staff has refused
to disclose Speers' salary.
However, in a copy of
the Fall 2002 ASI budget
obtained by The Pride, it
was acknowledged that
$201,517 was allotted for
the salaries of the part-time
and fulltime professional
staff, who included Speers
as executive director; Poggi,
who was then the assistant
executive director; Marilyn
McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen
Hinton, program director
for the Early Learning
Center. Hinton is no longer
on staff with ASI.
The board appointed
Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14
meeting. This position, as
determined by the board,
will last for one year. Poggi
has been with ASI since
Mar. 11, 2002. She said that

Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no
confidence from the county

series of events that called
Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized
on the scandals, which
according to the North
County Times included
two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the
county more than 1.25
million dollars," as well as
a history of marijuana use.
"Everything was truthful,"
Tierney said, "but we just

and installment of Poggi as
interim should be a smooth
one, which should not result
in any "break of business."
Both Brown and Poggi
believe that the student
population will not notice
the change in leadership.

from the Mar. 14 meeting

ceremony largely went

the war until the last two
hours.
Attending stars were
heavily conflicted as to
appropriate behavior. Stars
had reportedly asked their
designers to set aside a dark

they had already chosen.
Some decided to go ahead
with * traditional glamour,
including Halle Berry, who
claimed her gown would

Nicole Kidman said in
Entertainment Weekly that
she was "in two minds"
about attending the event
during a war. "There are
two arguments, aren't there,
where they say you need to
continue on with things and
not be stopped, and then
there's the other thing where
you just say, of course, it
would feel very strange to
show up," she said. A few
stars eventually decided
not to attend, including
presenter Will Smith,
whose publicist said he "felt
uncomfortable attending."
Many of the stars felt it
inappropriate to speak out
directly against the war,

A few winners and
presenters used the stage
to speak about the war. The
first person to speak out on
the stage was presenter Gael
Garcia, who mentioned
that if Mexican artist

of a film nominated for
several awards, was alive
she would be protesting
against the war. Michael
Moore, the winner for best

during his speech, "We live

His remarks led to

Slack
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed
cult. It is among a group
of "new" religions that
many may not be familiar
with. The movement was
conceived and designed
using academic studies of
cults and cult phenomena.
Religious cults typically

an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which

goal is the pursuit of slack.
are notoriously difficult,
time-consuming to grow,
and plagued with problems,
including pests. According
to McWilliams, it takes
about four months for a
plant to fully mature from
seedlings. He has invited
patients, police officers, and
city council members to his
home to view the garden.
Although it is behind a
protective fence, he says
that he has been very open
about his activities.
Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults
is the veneration of a leader
whom followers view as
having a special connection
to the divine. J.R. "Bob"

Master and High Eptot,"

reveals some
consistent ideas. They
believe that the planet
Earth is under the control of an immensely
powerful extra terrestrial
being, Jehovah 1, who is
an essentially selfish entity
but one that can be placated
in order to achieve "slack"
for humanity. "Slack" can
be defined as getting something for nothing, or as
having more than enough
time to do everything one
wants to do. Slack is a state
of being very similar to the
Christian notion of living
under Grace.
The sub genii have been
involved in working with
Jehovah 1 for millennia,
with the goal of creating a
paradise on Earth. These
sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister
"Pink Boys" who insist on
perpetuating false notions
such as economic scarcity
and the law of preservation of energy. The pink
boys seem to be some kind
of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity
enslaved to capitalism and
conventional
morality.
They are responsible for our
modern systems of ethics,
religion, and economics
that deprive individuals of
their Jehovah 1-given right
to slack.
Year in and year out, the
sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur
on July 5, and the church
celebrates accordingly each
year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse
to actually occur has led
some to suggest that sub
genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as
an excuse to hold riotous
parties, though the church
denies this.
Those interested in a
religion that can be used
to justify almost any kind
of hedonistic excess and

spiritual confusion as well

the site continuously grow since its inception. In its first year and a half the site has
seen some 335,940 visitors and is now
celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor
evaluated. The site's traffic rating has
made them one of the largest college sites
in the world.
Upon browsing the site I found it to be
informative as well as entertaining. First,
at the top of every page is the Quote of the
Moment, in which amusing quotes from
Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan
Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation
section is the A+ Club where the best-rated
professors are showcased. Another section
is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions
are posed and Ross attempts to respond
in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes
successful. Kasey on College is yet another
section of the site that attempts to offer
advice to issues of college life in general.

my favorite part of the site is the Hilarious Posts segment. This is a section where

Out of simple curiosity I decided to

will change, so log on and offer an evaluation for a professor that you feel strongly

Gonzalez Leaves CSUSM for CSU Sacramento
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
At the California State
University Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting it was
decided that CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez
would be the next president
at CSU Sacramento. Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced
their decision Thursday,
March 13 at Cal State Fullerton.
It seemed from an early
start that Gonzalez was
favored to be the new
president at Sacramento.
Gonzalez was the only
finalist who had worked
in the CSU system and he
had been personally asked
by Chancellor Charles B.
Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further
speculation that Gonzalez
would not have applied if
Reed would not support his
candidacy. Gonzalez has
denied this and believes
that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark
Kelso and University of
Houston President Karen
Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position.

nine resident advisors (RA's) for CSUSM's

to open next fall. The advisors* current

RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of

Although the residence hall will not be

already working in full swing to prepare
for what they feel is a very exciting event.

Graduation Denied!
Out of State & Out of Luck
By AMBER ROSSLAND
For The Pride
As a productive member of the
CSUSM student community, I
reached for the stars and strived
for excellence. I was on the
dean's list of academic excellence
during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a
semester, maxing out on credits,
and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete
every course I thought I needed
for graduation.
Apparently,
however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my
success in the jumbled graduation
advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

On Thursday, Feb. 27, the editors
of The Pride were shocked to learn
about the possible departure of

Union Tribune and the North County
Times.

most full time reporters. When
we are given more notice, we are
more able to-accommodate the busy
schedule of a university president
and other important sources for the
article.
CSUSM's
external
affairs
department, headed by Rick Moore,
failed to include The Pride when
"courtesy notices" were sent out to
the other papers on Feb 26. Moore
finally notified us on the morning
of Feb. 28.
But perhaps that's the point. This isn't
thefirsttime that The Pride has been
'unintentionally' left out ofimportant
events that are occurring on campus.
Many of you may remember last fall
when one of CSUSM's own students
had disappeared and
tragically committed
suicide.
Moore's
office and the local media had a press
conference with Alex Zingaro's
parents while the search for him was
still on, but The Pride was once again
left out of the loop - we found out
about that press conference from the
local papers as well.
Moore would have us believe that the
reason for the delay is because, as he
put it, the daily papers need more
notice than The Pride, which is a
weekly paper. We argue that we, the
only student-run press of CSUSM,
need as much notice as possible —
specifically because we are a weekly
paper. We don't have the luxury of
a staff of full-time (paid) reporters
that can drop everything and cover

are less able to arrange our schedules

so long for them tofigureout that
you are missing a class that there
is no way you can even register

This is a small university right
now, but looking into the future,
what are they going to do as it
grows? Will it take them a year
after you're gone tofigureout you

expect you to drop your entire life
and move back to take one class
because of their mistake? I wish
I knew.
Moore's actions speak louder than
his words. Without allowing us
access to the story, we fall behind the
local papers in covering the events
on our own campus. How can we
ever hope to establish a successful
journalism program at CSUSM i f
the student newspaper is neglected
so blatantly in the face of real news?
We're not asking for an exclusive, but
we do expect equality.
Our question
then
to
the
administration is this - i f we are
to prove ourselves in any capacity
to be a legitimate news medium
indeed the only free student press at
CSUSM, how are we supposed to do
so without university support? The
administration tells us
that we are customers
of this institution of
higher learning, and yet they leave us
in the dark and fail to notify us when
something important happens. This
i s incredibly bad customer service.
EDITORIAL
In the past, Moore and other members
of his office have been quick to tell
the editors and staff writers that he
is "one of us." We have listened to
him tell us all about his stint with
other college newspapers, and what a
supporter he is of student journalism.
Moore's oversight in not notifying
The Pride staff of this important
story, and others like it - whether
it was intentional or nót - is
inexcusable. We are tired of being
ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to
be notified in the same way and at the
same time as airy other newspaper.
�C AMPUS LIFE
(for 24-hour permits) will
resemble the current rate of the
general permits that are offered
to all CSUSM students." First of
all, how is the term "current rate"
defined? The current rate of spring
passes is less money than the
raised price fall passes will be, and
the residence halls are scheduled
to open in the fall. So what price
will the residents be paying? No
matter how much the cost, student
residents will have a "reserved"
parking spot for the semester.
At least campus residents, in all
fairness, will have the privilege
to park on pavement for 24 hours
while many of us continue to park
in the mud and be out of the lot by
5:30 or fined.
Dear editors:
Many students complain that there
is never anything to do on campus,
that we don't have an active

the fact that we are a commuter

PARKING ISSUES
Dear Editors:
After reading The Pride article,
"CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour
campus," I was relieved to find
out that the university is indeed
concerned with the parking issue
here on campus, that is, only for
the fall residents of the University
Village apartments. According to
the article, a 24-hour parking lot
is currently under construction to
accommodate the 460 students
that will occupy the buildings
scheduled to open in fall '03. I
have yet to hear of any near future
solutions to the current parking
crisis on campus, but at least the
University Village residents will
be taken care of.
According to the article, "Prices
I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the
parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack
of spaces for Village residents
mean that regular parking will be
even more impacted during class
times? During the 2002-2003
school year, Cal State San Marcos
admitted more students than
parking accommodations were
available for. We are dreamers if
we believe this will change any
time soon, especially because the
more students the university lets
in, the more funding it will have
toward the parking structure that
our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't
the University plan for population
growth and facility expansion
long ago?
It is easy for administration to
decide that parking rates will
go up due to their lapse in logic
while the number of available
spaces will stay the same. And
now, the concern of the university
goes to the village residents and
their parking facilities. It must
be a coincidence that the students
who will be contributing more to
CSUSM's profit will be likewise
rewarded with benefits. It is clear
that Cal State is an institution for
the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and
not education is the driving force
behind the school. If I am going to
be treated like a consumer at this
university, then at least give me
some consumer rights.

Fifteen bucks. Fifteen one-dollar

So now that you've got that

you've pretty much spent the

If you're like me you probably
don't pay much attention to what
the heck it is that our semester

you really should. In a nutshell,
some of the major programs
the IRA fee helps fund are; the
Arts and Lectures Series, the
Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate
Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the
Intercultural Speaker Series. The
IRA fee has been $5 per semester
for the past 12 years and as we all
know, the cost of everything has
gone up. In order to bring our
campus in line with the average
for all CSU campuses (range is
$4-$ 111 per semester), there is a
referendum up for a vote March
17-20, asking for small increases
over the next 3 years. The first
increase would be from $5 to
$20 starting this summer with
subsequent $5 increases through
2006, bringing the total to $35.
I realize that all of us were hit
with some pretty big increases
this semester (parking ring a

H OW THE WAR IS
AFFECTING M Y
P OCKETBOOK
Consumers,
When I first arrived in Germany
in September of 2002, before
war with Iraq was imminent, the
exchange rate between the Euro
and the dollar was slightly in my
favor. In general it was about a 1
to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily
avoided the task of converting
amounts in my head when making
purchases or having to carry a
pocket calculator with me at all
times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was
5 dollars to me, and taking out
300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With
the US on the brink of war I have
watched the Euro grow to become
stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September
may not seem like a lot, but 10
cents on ever dollar means 30 lost
when I take 300 out of the ATM,
and it adds up. Since then, my
fellow American students and I
are constantly watching the rates
stray from our favor. One student,
enraged when she found a few
hundred dollars to be missing
from her bank account, realized
she hadn't been calculating the
exchange rate difference since it
had so drastically changed.
This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation
has weakend the American dollar.
My current Professor who is from
Australia even remarked that the
Australian dollar is the strongest
its been all year in comparison to
the American dollar. This is new
tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the
US Canadian border and fully took
advantage of the great exchange
rates to go shopping or go on a
short vacation. When I moved to
San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I
always thought exchanges would
be in my favor. This is a metaphor
for how I thought about cultural
relationships as well. In the past,
I believed that being an American
meant that people around the
world looked up to me. That I had
the better lifestyle and cultural
values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias
existed within me, and I didn't
even realize it until I ventured off
US soil for more than some cross
cultural shopping or a vacation.
how much they love America and
would like to live there, but that
I have met just as many people
who aren't at all thrilled with the
American way. This is perfectly
ok with me, in fact its wonderful.
In the same way I appreciate so
many things that my American
lifestyle affords me, others should
bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes
the world worth experiencing.
Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you
from seeing another way and view
on doing things. I only wish that
I could get my 10 cents back for
every time I have realized this.

POLITICS
Dear Editors:
A recent exchange of editorials in
The Pride newspaper regarding a
liberal bias on campus has deeply
troubled me. The latest response,
written by Sean Mattingly (junior,
Business)
was
particularly
specious. In it, he calls for liberals
to "have a little respect for your
country, its history, its founders,
and your freedom." Although no
one would argue with the ideals
his statement embraces, such
words do little to address the real
issues that endanger freedom in
our world today—nor do they
encourage the kind of constructive
analysis that is essential to any
thinking individual.
When we do take the time to study
our nation's history, we learn that
the struggles that have defined this
country are far from simple—they
can't be easily couched into a
neat little package and stamped
"freedom." The story of America
is, in fact, the story of the struggle
between classes. This is not, as
Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in
(our) mind(s)." There is no liberal
or conservative here, no right
or wrong—just facts inherent
to capitalism. Higher education
is a place for questioning and
reasoning, not a place for parroting
half-truths and clichés.
The fact that this nation was born
from—and developed alongside—
the class struggle is not something
to ignore in the name of some
larger sense of nationalism. What
we get then is only an ideology of
ignorance, and that is certainly not
what we all agree makes America
great.
Today exposure to the real issues
and perspectives from both
sides is very hard to come by.
The media system is controlled
by a handful of international
corporations and real investigative
journalism is fast becoming a
casualty of bottom-line profits.
Although it is difficult to gain
exposure to "both sides of the
coin," this is exactly what we must
strive for: a true understanding of
Living in Germany I see how
the motives behind the policies

their rules, systems, and ways
of doing things. Not to say that

determine our freedoms. We
must remember that money is a
very powerful motivator in the
contemporary world. We must,
especially as scholars, pursue all
avenues of thought and make
assessments of those perspectives
based upon knowledge. What I am
talking about here is intellectual
responsibility. There is nothing
more patriotic than this.
It is time to start demanding of each
other—and most importantly, of
ourselves—a greater commitment
to civic responsibility. This means
we must move outside the boxes
of thought that are imposed upon
us when we turn on the television.
We must remain skeptical—all
thinking people do. Today it is
more important than ever to do so,
as our country prepares to engage
in war, and likely without the
support of the United Nations—a
body politic that stands for the
collective voice of the civilized
world. Only through careful
consideration can we become
constructive participants in the
noble struggle to achieve "a
new birth of freedom—(so) that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth" (Abraham
Lincoln, 1863).

Okay then, why not go to another
country just for a few years, then
come back, look us in the eye, tell
us life is better somewhere else,
and prove us wrong? You do that,
and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's
Bowling for Columbine, which
showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny
I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did
not mean to go on such a long
tangent, but I felt those issues had
to be addressed. In closing: this is
a public institution. And therefore
it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs
over another. As my father likes to
say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you

INALIENABLE RIGHTS
Dear Editors:
I am responding to the editorials
in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride.
I would first like to point out that
not all conservatives think like
Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it
succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's
views "were perhaps branded at
a young age." I agree that his
verbiage comes across a bit terse
and offensive at times and it may
be due to his limited exposure to
differing opinions from his own.

without alienating his ideas. He,
too, must make an effort not to
alienate the opinions that are
different from his own. He should

regard each others as equals. So
why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn
right? If we all believed we were
truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated
with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences
in our 24-hour day and take it
for what it is: a passing, fleeting
instance. "This too will pass."
Sometimes, it takes a bigger
person to stand up and do what
is right instead of continuing this
cycle of negative debate. At some
point, we need to allow "bygones
to be bygones" and start over on a
clean slate. In doing this, respect
must be extended to everyone on
both sides of the coin in order to
facilitate this free exchange of
ideas.
We live in a very populated world.
People are not going to disappear.
So, why not enjoy them while we
are alive. Treat the situation that

DRIVING M E C RAZY
Dear Editors:
I was simply making a left turn
the other day when I discovered
what the majority of Americans
are made of. I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As
I heard a horn honk, I glanced
to my right to be faced with
a woman, in a red sports car,
screaming obscenities, waving
her hands in the air, implying that
she demanded I move my vehicle
forward so that she could make a
right turn.
On another note I have noticed
while driving to school as well
that trees along interstate 15 are
being cut down. While at the
same time landscaping is being
done at CSUSM. Why some
effort can't be made to relocate
these trees to CSUSM so that
students can enjoy them for years
to come. Even though it may not
be cost effective the beautification
of CSUSM is priceless!

addition, both ASI and parking
services are trying to create a
direct left-hand turn into the lot
in the near future, which would
facilitate accessibility. "We
want to show the students that
they are getting something out
of this [parking] fee increase,"
explained Brown.
Curb parking, which was
available last semester to relieve
tense parking conditions, is now
prohibited. Parking services
claims that curb parking is no
longer necessary since Lot X, a
dirt lot located at the corner of
Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is
currently available.
Each semester, the need for
parking spaces relatively close
to the campus increases. When
questioned about the absence of
curb parking, Robert Williams,
CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure
last semester, which first needs
city approval for long-term use
because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency
vehicles. Williams said that curb

Electrical workers turned off
CSUSM's electrical service on
Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown.
Even though the period without
electricity was brief and during
the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned
why the entire system needed to
be shut down and whether this
is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical
service system. These concerns
appear to be unwarranted.
Ken Collier, a journeyman
electrician and member of the
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers local 569, as
well as an instructor on electrical
theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in
San Diego, answered questions
about the installation of emergency generators for industrial
applications.
According to
Collier, generators such as the
one installed at CSUSM require
the use of an automatic transfer
switch or ATS. The ATS senses
a lack of power in an established
electrical distribution system
and switches over to a generator
usually driven by a gasoline or
diesel engine. The ATS is more
than a simple switch, as it also
starts the emergency generator
and performs electronic motor
control operations regulating
the generators output. Through
the use of the ATS, an electrical
system can be functioning again
within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is
reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main
switchgear providing power
from the electrical utility,
to new construction, such an
emergency generator would be
built into the electrical distribution system before power from
the utility had been established,
eliminating the need for any
interruption of power. The ATS
and generator at CSUSM had
to be spliced into the existing
distribution system. To avoid
working on the high voltages
present at the main switchgear,
which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily
interrupted.
installed primarily in hospitals
and in industrial operations
where uninterrupted power was
considered critical. The growing
dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment

Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency
generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui-
tous.
The emergency generator
installed at CSUSM is meant
to ensure that a constant and
reliable supply of electricity is
always available for students and
faculty.

was widely deemed the largest

of such low projections. Yamout
said, "This isn't the first time I've

Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a

the U.S. John Kromko, former

that the reason he helped create

Last
week,
problems
associated with high quantities
of automobile oil consumption
in the United States were
explored. In an effort to move
toward a remedy and a better
future, several options need to
be examined and considered for
widespread implementation.
An easy avoidance method
has been to pass the buck onto
future generations. But now,
it may be that a generation
with the past on its shoulders
chooses to role up its sleeves
instead of turn its nose. As
environmental damages, become
more difficult to ignore, as the
national population continues
to grow exponentially, and as
the world is once again facing
political turmoil in the Middle
East, a region economically
crucial for its vast oil reserves,
now may be the time to make
more meaningful efforts to find
alternative energy sources and
step toward alternative living
styles.
the average miles per gallon
figure of new cars and trucks
deteriorated by nearly 8 percent,
from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001,
says Consumer Reports. Ideally,
efficiency would be apportioned
to improve emissions, miles per
gallon (mpg), and horsepower.
Overall, cars are only using
about 15% of the energy in fuel;
75% of gasoline's energy is lost
in the process of running the car.
Because of this, the potential
to improve fuel economy
with advanced technologies is
enormous.

by the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS), an independent
research organization created
by Congress, "If fuel economy
had not improved, gasoline
consumption would be about
2.8 million barrels per day (or
14 percent) greater than it is."
CAFE standards, however, have
remained frozen at the 1985 level
for cars and the 1996 level of
20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the
auto industry has fought against
further increases.
Higher fuel taxes
While this is not the most
appealing option to consumers,
it cannot be denied that high
fuel prices result in greater fuel
conservation. In Europe and
Japan, for instance, high fuel
taxes have resulted in gasoline
prices of $4 (US) per gallon or
more, which in turn has created
a large demand for smaller, more
fuel-efficient vehicles. In the
U.S., however, high fuel taxes
are unpopular and politically
forlorn. It is unlikely that
significant increases in gasoline
taxes would pass anytime soon.
Lisa Dufresne, a senior and
an accounting major, captured
popular American sentiment
with her statement, "I would
prefer to keep [gas prices and
consumption rates] the Way they
are out of personal convenience,
even though it is pretty selfserving."
"Even if I knew it was better
for the environment, I would
keep things the same," echoed
senior Graham Smorzewski.
"I can barely afford gas as it is
now," he said.
Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo is conducting a research studyof an

standards
fuel-economy
Federal regulations, called
the Corporate Average Fuel
Economy (CAFE) standards,
have been in place since 1975 to
govern mpg efficiency.
According to a recent study
"Government regulation is
necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a
senior and sociology major. "It's
important to have the government
watching over to ensure that
we're taking measures to protect
our environment."
While CAFE has been helpful,
the standards have serious
loopholes and have not been
increased in years. Significant
improvements won't happen
without governmental pressure,
and to that end, it seems the
standards should be allowed to
maintain gradual improvements.

�Mars on Earth
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
San Diegans are going to
Mars. They are off in masses,
but not to the little red planet that
is our neighbor. Instead they
are going to the Mars located
in Utah, one of the Mars Analog
Research Stations created by the
Mars Society.
The Mars Society is an
international organization that
was founded in August 1998.
The society is currently about
5,000 members strong, including
the 50 to 60 members in San
Diego. The society is both a
scientific and social organization
that combines experimentation
with social activities. The
society has created two Mars
Analog Research stations, one
in Devon Island in the Arctic
that operated for two months
and the other in the midst of
Utah's deserts. On February 28,
2001, San Diego created is own
chapter of the society and has
since played an important role
in the research stations, which
serve as their mission support
and control center.
The Mars Analog Research
Station in Utah is comprised
of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a
two-deck cylindrical structure
with an eight-meter diameter
that serves as the habitat for the
crewmembers, as well as several
peripheral external structures;
some are inflatable and some
may be attached to "the Hab".
The crew is comprised of six
members* of different chapters
of the society; each crew stays
at the habitat for two weeks.
The crewmembers drive ATV's,
which are vehicles that are
similar to ones that have been
used on the moon, in their space
suits, explore their environment,
perform geological experiments,
and are attempting to grow plants
in a "greenhab" with various soil
samples in an atmosphere similar
to what might be found on Mars.
Currently/ the Mars Society
is in complete control of these
experiments. NASA has made its
priority the Mir Space Station.
The internationally manned
station that is currently in orbit
around earth has taken the
bulk of NASA's funding. Due
fo this lack of focus on Mars,
it is unknown what NASA will
do with the Mars Society's
findings.
The crew at the Research
Station in Utah communicates
with the San Diego based
Mission Control via the Internet.
They send typed reports that are
filtered through a director to
various members who specialize
in different scientific fields.
The communication is taken
very seriously and is performed
as realistically as possible,
including invoking a five to ten
minute time delay that would be
realistic in the actual scenario.
This allows for the researchers
to realize any problems that
might arise due to time delays or
to be able to rectify any glitches
in the system, in order to prevent

By JENNIFER RHODUS
Pride Staff Writer
"Welcome to Arts & Lectures" is
the alluring invite offered by the 2003
CSUSM Arts & Lectures series. The
program invites both CSUSM, students
and the local community to encounter
and experience diverse cultural literacy

mediums. The series has been around
since the inception of CSUSM in 1989
with the purpose of fostering critical
thought through exposure to diverse
expressions. According to Bonnie Biggs,
the Coordinator for the Arts & Lectures
program, each series is developed and
designed to "reflect the curricular goals
of the faculty" resulting in the university
hosting artists and lecturers who compliment the curriculum and give it a "pulse".
On Wednesday, March 5, internationally renowned saxophonist and recording artist Merryl Goldberg and Featured

The Front Side-air-tail-whip Reverse
By SEAN CARNE
For The Pride
You are probably sitting there,
looking at this paper, creating
a more confused and distorted
expression than anyone could
imagine. Confused and distraught, you are contemplating
what you have just read in the
title. Trust me, this trick is much
more difficult to perform than
it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the
greatest spectator sports. Some
people agree that it is even better

learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf.
The issue is entitled, "Emision
de Santa Cruz." I can't even do
this trick yet, nor do I think that I
ever will be able to; however I'm
improving with practice. This
trick, according to the magazine,
ranks very high on the difficulty
meter.
My best advice would be to
stretch really well and do a lot of
practice heats before attempting
this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should
begin paddling as fast as you
can to gather up enough speed

bottom of the wave, whip off

whip off your lip, your board
should now be freely flying
through the air. Your back foot
should be placed firmly on the
tail of the board while the front
foot places itself on the nose and
at the same time prepare yourself
for landing.
When you land, pound the
nose of the board with your front
foot into the water, keeping your
weight centered so the whole'
board hits the water. If your
front foot is not centered, the tail
will shake, causing you to lose
all balance and inevitably you
will crash horribly as the wave
rolls over you. The last step for
this trick is to stand on the nose
of your board and ride backward
for a little bit, only so you look
cool while you're riding in the
wave, actually proving that you
have just pulled something off.

you can do anything.

Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You
By GAIL TARANTINO
News Editor
While checking out the
school's homepage before the
semester started, I came across
a temporary link* regarding the
parking fee increase. Because
I'm a glutton for punishment, I
decided to read it. That was a big
mistake because I'm still mad. >
This piece of propaganda
from parking services starts
out explaining the parking fee
increases by saying how "we've
had it pretty good," because,
before 1999, parking was either
free or 12-14 dollars a month.
The article actually refers to our
dismal parking condition as "our
happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider

tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we." The students and parking sions to drive alone each day"

Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2

entire procession of protesters
to reach the rallying point of
city hall. Contrary to Vietnam
era stereotypes of anti-war
protesters, the protesters were
largely representative of a
multi-racial spcio-economically
diverse mainstream America.
There were soccer moms pushing
strollers covered in peace signs,
grandparents hoisting signs
proclaiming "No War - Not
In Our Name " kids of all ages
beating all kinds of makeshift
drums giving the march a sort
of heartbeat, a small elderly
marching band playing John
Lennon's Imagine, working class
types holding pro-union signs
and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!"
conservatively attired protesters
holding signs saying things like
"No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm
Bush," and there were hippies
protesting too.
During the protest, Lessel
remarked
on more than
one occasion that he was,
"...surprised that most of the
protesters looked like ordinary
Americans.. .because [he] was
kind of expecting to see nothing
but your stereotypical hippies."
In the Jan. 13 issue of the San
Francisco
Chronicle,
Ruth
Rosen wrote, "Never before in
human history has an anti-war
movement grown so fast and
spread so quickly. It is even
more remarkable because the
war has yet to begin. Publicized
throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind
its sectarian roots and entered
mainstream culture."
Jan. 18 was a day of both
national, and global antiwar protesting with protests
simultaneously occurring in
various major metropolitan areas
around the U.S. and in over 30
nations. CNN.com reported that
the week before the protest, the
FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000
law enforcement organizations
around the nation warning them
to be ready for the possibility
of violent protests. CNN.com
reported after the protest,
"There were no reports of such
incidents, or of any violence or
confrontations."
In Washington DC, three
dozen people protesting the
anti-war protests gathered at
the Vietnam War Memorial to
offer their support to the Bush
administration's policy on Iraq.
One of these protesters was *55
year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy
veteran from Minneapolis who
asserted that, "The protesters
don't understand the threat
of Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein... k's a war of liberation
for people."
This past weekend, U.S.
Secretary of State Colin Powell
told European political and
business leaders at a conference
in Switzerland that the U.S.
remains willing to attack Iraq
alone. CNN.com reported
that, "In a 30-minute address
that broke no new ground but
attempted to enlist world support
for U.S. military action against
Iraq, Powell rejected criticism
from delegates that the United
States has not provided enough
evidence that Iraqi President
Saddam
Hussein
retains
weapons of mass destruction."
Powell went on to say, "The
more we wait, the more chance
there i s,for this dictator with
clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a
weapon, share a technology or
use these weapons again. The
nexus of tyrants and terror, of
terrorists and weapons of mass
destruction, is the greatest
danger of our age."
Judging by the language of
the signs and chants at the San
Francisco protest, it would be
safe to say that the protesters
reject the Bush administration's
pro-war arguments. CSUSM
student and first-time protester
Tasha Iglesias said she was glad
she'd driven herself and three
other CSUSM students to San
Francisco for the protest. She

remarked that, "It's just so nice
to know that I'm not really crazy,
that I'm not alone, that there are
-actually TONS of people who
feel the way I do about this issue.
I mean, before I came to this
protest, from watching the news
I actually thought that there
weren't many other Americans
who were against a war with
Iraq. But I'm glad I came here
because now I know I was wrong
to think that."

Graduate Intern
The tentative contract
agreed upon by the California
Faculty Association (CFA) and
the CSU Administration on
March 2 was ratified, by an

City Pulls the Plug on Power Surge Cafe
ByAMYBOLASKI
Graduate Intern

FCB was built, before Caesar
Chavez found a permanent place
on campus in the form of a
bust, Power Surge Cafe was serv

and feeding the university’s stu

found the nearby establishment
the perfect spot for a study break.
After more than five years in
business, the long-time staple
of the campus community will
close its brightly painted doors
on April 26,2002.
The City of San Marcos,
which owns the cafe’s parking lot

not to renew Power Surge’s lease.

Athletic Department Only Dr. Oberem to Receive Brakebill Award
Receives 5 Percent of Donation By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Feature Editor
CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Editor
On Jan. 9, the university
received a gift of $2.6 million
from Helen Clarke for athletic
scholarships. Clarke had previ
ously assisted the athletic depart
ment through other grants. She
died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age
of 83 and became the largest
single donor to Cal State San
Marcos, with gifts totally nearly
$4 million.
“The grant has not increased
our budget, it only provides secu
rity,” said Steve Scott, head track
coach. The endowment’s pur
pose is to support the scholar
ships for student-athletes in the
campus’ golf, cross-country and
track programs. Nonetheless,
only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil
lions will be distributed each
year, starting next fiscal year.
If the percentage of the invest
ment is more than 5 percent, the
university foundation will invest
theVest into the original princi
pal’s amount.
According to Scott, “The
University Foundation handles
all the money, the grant will
be invested and due to certain
guidelines and regulations, only
5 percent goes to the scholar
ship program.” This means that
approximately $130,000 will go
to 40 track and field, 14 golf
and 20 cross-country athletes.
The CSUSM Foundation is a
nonprofit, auxiliary organiza
tion that aims to advance the
goals of the university through

Free issues of The New York

Tribune will continue to be
available at newsstands around
campus until the last week of
March. This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program
brought to CSUSM by the Asso

program has been instated on a
trial basis in order to ascertain
how many students pick up and
read the paper(s).
“The decision to keep the
program depends on funding. If
we can partner up with other
offices on campus - then the
program will most likely stay.
If ASI is solely responsible for
the funding, then it depends on

New Library Has First Accident
CFA Ratifies Contract
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
At approximately 9:30 a.m.
Tuesday. March 19, a column
from the initial framework of
the new library fell. No one
was injured when the 85-foot-tall
steel column fell, and the struc
ture incurred only minor dam
ages, including chipped concrete
and broken wooden handrails.
The 10-ton vertical column
stands with anchor bolts and lev
eling nuts to hold it in place.
To install a horizontal beam,
the crane supporting the column
must let go of the vertical column
to pick up the horizontal beam.
When it was released, the ver
tical beam let loose. According
to Don Price, construction man
ager, “The column just wasn’t
secure enough.”
The incident could have been
extremely damaging. “If it had
fallen in any other direction, it

potentially could have hit the
crane or the retaining walls,”
said Price. “[The incident] in no
way damages the integrity of the
building”
One-half to two-thirds of the
column is no longer usable and
has been discarded. Visibly and
structurally, the damaged column
is much shorter than the rest,
but construction continues. “This
[incident] will in no way slow
down construction,” said Price.
The incident was reportedly
due to subcontractor McMahon
Steel’s technique of using only
one crane to accomplish the job.
“The technique the contractor
was using isn’t allowed any
more,” said Price, who guaran
teed it will not happen again.
The contractor must now use two
cranes. “If you look, there are
now two cranes. One crane hold
ing the column, and one crane
installing the beam,” he added.
Although the incident hasn’t
slowed down construction, it
was costly. The damage done
will cost approximately $20,000.
“[McMahon] has to pay all the
losses. It’s not coming out of the
taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said.
For now, the construction
team will install the horizontal
beams on the second and third
floors, waiting approximately
another month until the broken
column can be spliced. Accord
ing to Price, “A field splice is
very common and easy to do.”
After the splice is done, the team
will be able to complete the
framework of the fourth and fifth
floors as well as the roof.
“On a positive note, the
library should be finished by
summer 2003, and we broke
ground for the Clark Field House
today, [March 20],” said Price,
reiterating that one such inci
dent will not stop the growth of

�S exual Predator Lurking at San Diego State University
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
On March 5, 2002, the fifth
and latest attack was made by a
sexual predator roaming the area
around SDSU. The five attacks
all happened near the campus.
Two of the attacks happened at
the same apartment complex on
Montezuma Rd. The third hap
pened down the street on Mon
tezuma road, the fourth on 55th
Street, and the fifth in a grocery
store on El Cajon Boulevard.
All five women, 20 years old,
are not connected or related in
any way. According to Marc
Fox, Crime Prevention Specialist
at SDSU, “They’re isolated inci
dents, completely random and offcampus.” According to Detective
Ron Newquist, of the San Diego
Police Department, “The man
followed the women home and
entered shortly after they did,
through an unlocked door, in
three of the incidents.”
The man does not rape the
women, instead he commits
what’s called sexual battery. The
man comes from behind and
grabs the crotch and the breasts of
the women through their clothes.
All five women began scream
ing and pushing him away, which
startled the man and made him
flee.
According to Fox, “The con
cept is to increase awareness.
We are trying to increase the
use of more safety precautions.
Common sense things, like walk
ing in groups and making sure
that all doors and windows are
locked.” Fox also said that they’ve
increased the patrol around the
campus with both undercover and
uniformed police. Fox, a propo
nent of R.A.D. (a self defense
course against rape, solely for
women) said, “People are picked
on their perception of vulnerabil
ity. Sometimes a woman who
appears confident and aware of
her surroundings avoids a poten
tial attack without even knowing
it.”
“The media has depicted one
guy. But he isn’t it. We have two
other suspects pending computer
[confirmation],” said Newquist
on the progress of the case. The
perpetrator has been described as
a black male between the ages of
17-22,5’6-5’8 ,140-170 lbs., short
hair, round face, flat nose, clean
shaven and wears baggy clothes.
If you see anyone matching this
description you should call the
San Diego Police Department’s
24-hour line (619) 531-2000.
CSUSM is a relatively safe
campus, with no sexual attacks
recorded to date. . When asked
about the precautions and strat
egies that the university police
would take if a sexual predator
came to CSUSM, Chief Tom
Schultheis of the CSUSM uni
versity police said, “This would
be considered a serious situation
and we would make it a numberone priority.”
“The first thing that I would
do would be to recommend that
all our women students look into
the R.A.D. program. It’s a
class that allows women to be
self-empowered.
Second we
would work with the Sheriffs
Department and do everything
that would ultimately lead to an
arrest,” said Schultheis.
One thing that was suggested
by both Fox and Schultheis was
that all female students be more
aware of their surroundings when
alone. If for any reason you feel
unsafe when walking to your
car, both the university police of
SDSU and CSUSM have escort
services that are available 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
At CSUSM, the police can be
contacted 24 hours a day, seven
days a week on the silver phones
located throughout the campus,
at any of the emergency poles
located throughout the parking
lots and the track, or by dialing
direct 750-4567.

they can worsen and develop into survivor may experience flash
the following patterns and prob backs of the incident and may
lems: distressing memories or experience nightmares or other
dreams, loss of interest in what sleep disturbances. Often times,
were meaningful activities, emo survivors fear being alone and
tional numbing and increased fear a future attack. A survivor
anger, increased health problems, may not be able to concentrate
feelings of detachment or sepa and focus. This can affect aca
demic and/or job performance.
A survivor’s attitude toward
his/her body may be negatively
affected. This change may lead
to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse,
overeating, self-mutilation, etc.)
The survivor may find it diffi
cult to trust and to be intimate
with others. She/he may not want
sexual intimacy for some time
or may engage in risky sexual
behaviors.
Common Phases:
Survivors often go through
three general phases. (The phases
do not always occur in the order
listed below.)
Phase One: This phase may
last a few days to several weeks.
The survivor may experience
.shock and severe distress, con
fusion, disorientation, anger, and
rage.
Phase Two: The survivor
often wishes to forget the inci
dent and return to “normal.” It is
common to want to suppress feel
ings in order to forget about the
incident and regain control. How
ever, the crisis is not resolved.
Phase Three: The survivor
is ready to begin to deal with
the feelings associated with the
assault/abuse. This phase usually
involves re-experiencing feelings,
thoughts, and memories of the
assault/abuse. This healing pro
cess may vary in duration. *
Throughout all three phases,
survivors need supportive people
(friends, family, loved ones.) A
survivor support group and/or a
counselor can also be of help.
How to help a survivor of sexual
assault/abuse
—
“Sometimes I hear my voice
and ifs been here, silent all
these years.7 -iori Amos.
*
Talk, listen, respect and be
emotionally available to the sur
vivor. Accept what the survivor
tells you. Accept the fact that the
assault/abuse happened. Under
stand that it is not the survivor’s
fault. Do not blame the survivor.
No one deserves to be sexually
assaulted or abused, even when
you feel poor judgments were
made by the survivor. Do not
blame yourself either. The only
person who is at fault is the person
who committed the crime.
Suggest options and actions
(medical, psychological and other
assistance), but let the survivor
decide what action to take. Let
the survivor talk about the inci
dent, but don’t force a discus
sion. Respect and understand that
temporarily the survivor may
become distant from loved ones.
Assure the survivor that you will
be available to provide support
throughout the process of recov
ery. Give the survivor time to
heal. Moderate your natural ten
dencies to become overprotective.
The survivor may need to
seek medical attention immedi
ately. You can help by encour
aging and accompanying the
survivor to obtain medical atten
tion. If the survivor wishes to
seek criminal action, this should
be done as soon as possible.

Sexual Assault Statistics
According to the victimization survey, 261,053 rapes and sexual
assaults occurred in the United States in 2001.
In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized
by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti
mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent).
Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these
reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person.
Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was
nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported
die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims
in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care,
whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime
receivedpost-rape medical care.
It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police.
Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault
knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of
attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during
a date.
Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col
lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed
rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus.
In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe
trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was
involved at the time of the incident.
Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college
women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of
the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not
family or school officials.

By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
“You are a resource to every
woman you know,” said Officer
Mario Samz. head instructor of
the Rape Aggression Defense
(R.A.D.) program, in closing at
the last of the four three-hour
training classes for Basic Rape
Aggression Defense. One major
fear many women hold is that of
being raped. It’s a realistic fear,
since a national statistic holds
that one out of every four college
women will be sexually assaulted
during her four years i n college.
One way that colleges around the
world are trying to lower those
odds is through Basic R.A.D.
Basic R.A.D was designed
specifically for women, to show
them not only how to defend
themselves if they are attacked,
but also to show them how to
prevent being raped. In 12 hours,
a deceivingly short amount of
time, participants are able to learn
about how to become more aware
of surroundings, the do’s and
don’ts of surviving an attack, and
of course, defense techniques.
I recently graduated from
the Basic R.A.D. course here on
campus. During the beginning of
the course, Barbara Sainz, the
wife of Officer Sainz as well as
a certified instructor of R.A.D.,
asked us about our expectations
of the class to ensure that we were
being realistic. Many just wanted
to feel more secure as a woman,
be it because they worked odd
hours, lived in a shady neigh
borhood, or just wanted to be a
more confident and self-reliant
woman. At the end of the course
we reviewed what we had said
to see if we reached our goals,
and I must say that not only did
we succeeded at doing so, but
we went above and beyond our
expectations.
One thing stressed through
out the course was that no men
could be involved in our train
ing, with the exception of our
male instructors. We could not
practice with a male, and males
were unable to attend any of the
four sessions. “Unfortunately,
it is your boyfriend, husband or
even your friend that you might
one day have to defend yourself
against,” said Sainz.
R.A.D. Class.

The course was not only fun,
but truly effective. The tech
niques we were taught are func
tional and for the most part easy to
do. The key to the course is prac
tice - practicing the techniques as
well as practicing saying no. As
fun as it was, we were still able
to take away much more than any
of us expected. “We’re not sup
posed to be tough. It’s good to
know I can defend myself ... I
learned much more than I thought
I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy,
a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware
of everything now,” said Tracey
Veres, a freshman at CSUSM.
The final class meeting is a
simulation. “You will be able to
practice everything you learn. If
you freeze this is the place to do
it, so we can coach you through it
and hopefully prevent you from
freezing if a situation were to
really occur,” said Sainz. During
the simulation, the two instruc
tors, Officer Mario Sainz and
Officer Marlin Estepa, as well
as retired Officer John Smithers,
an instructor of instructors of
R.A.D., all suited up and simu
lated attacking;us so we could
practice what we learned. Bar
bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith
ers, both certified instructors,
made sure that the scenarios were
safe and that we were using the
techniques practiced to our full
advantage.
At least half of the class was
so excited about their end results
that they want to be able to
teach women the art of R.A.D.
by becoming R.A.D. instructors.
These women also spoke of form
ing a club that would enable them
to continue practicing together
and promote the awareness of
sexual assault to other women on
campus. “We could post flyers
and have a booth like all the other
clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior
at CSUSM. “We could try to
hold sessions to educate people,
try to convince other women to
take R.A.D. and practice ” said
Nowothy.
R.A.D. is held at least three
times a year on the CSUSM
campus. “We try to hold as many
as possible, but space is limited,”
said Sainz. The fee to attend the
Basic R.A.D. course is only $20
and for this cost, any woman
at any age is able to attend as
many times as they’d like, with
no limitation on visits. During the
summer, an advanced course will
be offered, which enhances basic
skills and teaches participants
how to handle certain weapons.
According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM
who took the course, “Previous
to R.A.D, I thought of myself
as a woman who carried herself
with confidence and could react
in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself
with confidence and can react
well in a threatening situation. It
confirms your ability to defend
yourself; and anyone who takes
it has the tools to never be a
victim.”
CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) attended the California Higher Edu
cation Student Summit’s annual confer
ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby
against student tuition* fee increases and
to support the Facilities Bond Measure.
The forum, held this year in Sacramento,
was open to all California State Univer
sity (CSU) student representatives. The
attendees participated in leadership work
shops, listened to guest speakers and vis
ited with legislators who represent the San
Diego area.
ASI members were informed during
the conference that the budget deficit Cal
ifornia faces “will require many [educa
tional] programs across the state to be
cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord
ing to the California State Student Asso
ciation (CSSA) press release. During their
visits with members of several legislative
offices, ASI members strongly urged those
in power not to increase student fees.
“If tuition fees are increased, this will
decrease accessibility and affordability
for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI
vice president of External Affairs, who
attended the conference.
. A similar situation occurred in the
early 1990s, during the last budget crisis,
and, according to the CSSA press release,
fees for the CSU “skyrocketed and many
students were forced to delay or cancel

their plans to attend a post-secondary
institution.”
“We’re afraid that can happen again,”
said Brown.
ASI created a letter-writing campaign
and sent each California senator a letter,
urging the protection of school budgets,
noting the adverse affect California stu
dents sustained in the early 1990s because
of budget cuts. According to the ASI
letter, “It is a known fact that a budget cut
of any percentage would jeopardize the
education of the CSU’s 380,000 currently
enrolled students.”
The tuition increase has not been pro
posed, nor is it known if and when it
will be. “If legislators are committed to
improving California, we can hope that
they would try to increase, not decrease,
education spending,” said Erik Roper, a
member of ASI’s External Affairs Com
mittee, who attended the conference.
The other issue ASI lobbied for was
the Higher Education Facilities Bond Mea
sure. This bond was proposed to provide
funds for the improvement of CSU cam
puses. This multi-year bond will “enable
the CSU to fund projects on a lump-sum
basis, which will allow campuses to map
out the planning, design and construction
phases of a project all at one time,” accord
ing to a CSSA press release.
“We can continue to grow if we
make higher education a priority, espe
cially with the current construction taking
place on campus,” Roper said.

�Faculty Member Goes H ollywood - Josephine
K eating Writes Screenplay D epicting Navajo Life
By SYBILLE HERWIG
Pride Staff Writer
Josephine Keating, professor
and student teacher advisor for the
College of Education at Cal State
San Marcos, has attracted Holly
wood producer Travis Clark with
her screenplay “Spider Woman”
- a story about the cultural rich
ness and mysteries of the Navajo
people in New Mexico. Keating
and Clark plan to shoot the movie
for the big screen this summer.
Along with her Navajo friend
Dolores Brown, Keating has been
working on “Spider Woman” for
a few years now. “For a long
time I’ve thought to do a story
about Navajo women, because
the women that I’ve worked with
in Thoreau (New Mexico) were
just so impressive.” Keating, who
has written many stage plays,
explained that the motivation for
writing a screenplay was based
on the simple fact that, ‘‘you
really can’t separate Navajo cul
ture from the land. They go
together really intimately.”
Growing up in a 100-percent
white suburb of Sacramento in the
1950s, Keating felt an early urge
to explore cultural diversity. Her
intense interest in Native Ameri
can culture emerged throughout
her three years of volunteer work
on an Indian mission in central
Washington. Not only did she find
passion for her work, but also for
her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu
cation teacher at CSUSM. Their
romance soon resulted in mar
riage, and together they decided
to change setting and follow
their friends to America’s big
gest Indian reservation in New
Mexico to teach at a Navajo High
School. For 22 years they lived
and worked on the reservation in
a little town named Thoreau.
The fictional story “Spider
Woman,” which is set in the same
New Mexican location in which
Keating used tp work and live,
is centered around three gener
ations of women in a Navajo
family, although, according to
Keating, “there are lots of guys
in it, too.” The main character
is a young woman in her twen
ties, who was adopted by a white
family when she was a baby, and
who later decides to go back to her
roots and find her Navajo family.
The storyline is reflected in the
title of the screenplay: “Spider
Woman.” According to Navajo
mythology, Keating explained,
there is a very powerful entity
called spider woman, who lives
on spider rock in Arizona. She is
part of the Navajo creation story,
in which she helps two lost broth
ers find their father. In Keating’s
screenplay, it is the young Navajo
woman who travels to Arizona in
order to approach spider women
for help to find her family.
Keating proudly explained,
“We’ve been dealing with a pro
fessional producer who agreed to
produce the movie a year and a
half ago. He saw the script and
really liked it.” Clark, whose tele
vision and film credits include
“A Man Called Hawk” and “The
Court-Martial of Jackie Robin
son,” has been inlhe business for
25 years. According to Keating,
he got tired of the whole orga
nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to
go independent a few years ago.
“We were just lucky enough to
get our script to him at a point
where he was looking for proj
ects,” Keating said.
Clark promoted the script
among many friends in the media
business, all of who agreed to be
part of the project. At that point,
Keating realized that her dream
was about to become reality and
that she needed to start raising
some seed money. “In order to
attach people to a project and
do some other very basic preproduction and put together a
business plan, you need some
money!”
Friends, family, co-workers
and other teachers in the com
munity were the initial investors,
and so Keating was able to raise
an initial $ 80,000, which covered
the business plan and enabled her
to sign director Charles Mills and
a couple of actors.
For Mills, who has been a
cinematographer for many years
in the entertainment industry,
the screenplay “Spider Woman”
will be his first directing job.
Mills surely will be able to draw
from his big-budget studio expe
riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II
and the independent film Boyz in
the Hood, for which he received
awards for cinematography.
Keating said, “We haven’t
cast any of the Navajo parts yet
and, of course, that’s going to be
the vast majority. But we have
cast two of the supporting roles
that are non-Navajo.” One of
the more recognizable actors is
Richard Grieco, who did a lot
of television in the 80s, includ
ing the hit-series “Booker” and
“21 Jump Street.’’ Because of
his recent work in many indepen
dent movies, Grieco found fame
and fortune in Europe. Although
he is better known abroad than
in the States, Keating explained,
“One of the considerations we
look for in putting together the
business plan is to bring people
on board that, when we go to sell
the distribution rights for Europe
and Japan and so on, there are
names that those distributors rec
ognize.”
Another supporting role has
been given to actor David
Strathaim, who gained his work
ing experience in dozens of
movies and TV sedes, including
the film L.A. Confidential.
While Keating plans to begin
shooting in New Mexico this
summer, she and her production
team are still faced with a lot
of fundraising work in order to
cover the movie’s costs. Keating
explained, “the two things we are
working on are a distribution deal
and the financing. To actually
finish pre-production, shoot the
movie, do post-production and
some marketing, we figure the
budget for that is going to be $1.2
million.”
She also emphasized the
amazing location of the produc
tion location. “The area we are
going to shoot is just absolutely
magnificent. It’s gorgeous!”
Keating has confidence in
“Spider Woman’s” success on the
big screen: “We’ve got two name
actors signed and all the other
people in the business plan have
resumes as long as your arm.
They are just really experienced
people.”

Santa Barabara Amtrak

By MIKE PARDINI
Pride Staff Writer
Want to get away for the
weekend but don’t have the cash
for Hawaii? Well, how about
Santa Barbara? I know what
you’re thinking. Santa Barbara.
Who wants to drive four hours
each way? Well you don’t have
to. You can take Amtrak for as
little as $15 each way, which is
relatively the same as gas, maybe
even cheaper.
Amtrak offers things that a
car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil
lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and
your choice of many alcoholic
beverages, as well as food. The
train is a great substitute for driv
ing to Santa Barbara for many
reasons. One particular reason
that jumps to my mind is LA
traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not
only LA traffic, but you also get
great coastal views the whole
way up, that may include views
of dolphins and, at this time O f
year, whales.
The best way to get started
on your weekend adventure is to
plan if you’re going to stay for
one or two nights. If you’re going
to stay two nights, definitely try
and leave as early as possible on
Friday. If not, leave early Sat
urday morning. Once yOu get
to Santa Barbara the possibilities
are endless.
If you like beaches, I suggest
that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across
the street and go to Carpinteria
State Beach. If you choose to do
this, you will have about two to
three hours to kill, which can
be spent on the beach or walk
ing around the little downtown.
After that time, you can catch the
later train and continue on your
A
downtown mall, art galleries and
trendy clothing shops. If. that’s
not your scene, check out out a
matinee, that only costs $4.50,
in the plaza with your student
ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will
turn into night, and this is when
the real fun starts.
Santa Barbara’s downtown
goes off on Friday and Saturday
nights. There are 18 bars and
five clubs on State Street. No
matter what your style, whether
you like to get dressed up or
not, State Street has something to
BREAK?
Santa Barbara has something for
everyone. My idea is to get out of
San Diego for the weekend and
enjoy everything that the Califor
nia Coast has to offer.
The trains leave Solana Beach
daily at four different times, any
where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m.
Solana Beach is the only Amtrak
station in San Diego County that
lets you leave your car for free
for up to one week. All trains
I
k

take approximately five hours to

action law suit which has been filed against Legoland. The class action
alleges that over the past couple of years, Legoland has sold “collector
cups” with a beverage in them, for approximately $10.00. The suit
also alleges that in most instances where these cups were sold, the
purchaser was informed that as long as they kept the cup, they could
return to Legoland for lifetime refills, at no additional cost. The suit
further alleges that also in most instances, when the purchaser returned
another day for a refill, the purchaser would be told that the refill policy
was only good for one day. The action is brought on behalf of all
purchasers of such cups who believe they were denied what Legoland is
alleged to have promised when Legoland sold the cup.

�Surf Team ends First Regular Season
JOY WHITMAN
for The Pride
The Cal State San Marcos’
Surf team competed in its last
regular season event on Feb. 24
in Huntington Beach. Key surf
ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who
earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan
McHenry, who earned 11 points.
The team placed seventh
overall with a total of 23 points.
Despite a lingering cold, Dema-
rino, the team’s bodyboarder,
won his first heat and also
claimed his first victory since his
return to competition. He per
formed well in following rounds
and advanced to finals, earning
third place overall in the College
Bodyboarding Division.
Fairbanks looked great in his
first two rounds of the longboard
competition and received two
consecutive first places. In round
three, Fairbanks just missed the
transfer spot and did not advance
to finals.
McHenry performed well for
the first two rounds but just
could not get any open waves to
help advance him to round three.
Despite the absence of Captain
Dave Kincannon, who has been
out for the past two competi
tions with a broken leg, and the
absence of Julie Russell, who had
prior commitments, the CSUSM
team placed 8th overall in the
regular season.

Saint Patrick’s Day entailed
drinking in more sun rays, waves
and wins than alcohol for the Cal
State San Marcos’ Surf Team.
The State Championships for the
NSSA College Team Season was
held on March 17 at Churches
Beach in San Clemente, located
just north of the San Onofre
power plant. It was .an exciting
competition between rivals Sad
dleback and Mira Costa Com
munity Colleges, but two top
seeds helped Saddleback clinch
the title.
Contributing to Saddleback’s
success, Coach Mark Mackleroy
replaced two members of his
team with exceptional standouts
who regularly compete for the
Pro Surfing Tour of America
(PSTA) between the regular and
postseason.
The first round was a little
intimidating for CSUSM, since
only seven of nine members were
available to compete, but the
team pulled through with the
talent of those who did compete
and placed 8th out of 18 teams,
which was good enough to qual
ify for nationals.
For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks
and Scott Chebagia each earned
12 points, but still missed advanc
ing from the third round into
the quarter finals. Bodyboarder
George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter
rific performances and advanced
to finals, placing third and fourth,
respectively.
The CSUSM team earned a
total of 48 points, which was not
far from the fifth-place finisher
UCSB Vector, who racked up 56
points overall.
After placing in the top 12
in the State Championship, the
surf team has earned a spot
in the Nationals, which will be
held over the summer in Dana
Point and will see schools from
across the country compete for
the national title.
With the predicted return
of shortboarder Dave Kincan
non and Julie Russel, competing
in the girl’s round, the CSUSM
team could easily tack on an
additional 20 or more points,
making fourth place at nationals
a very reachable goal. Congratu

is proudly representing Cal State

competed in several meets, con

country.
Williams placed third in the

and at the San Diego State Uni

State Championship, Williams
finished with a 52.10 mark,
which placed him second.
Williams has been invited to
the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut,
which he is really looking for
ward to. “All the top colleges
and elite runners in the world
will be there,” said Williams.
Williams also faces the chal

because he does not always com

At this point, CSUSM is not yet
well known for its athletics.
“The great thing about track

His coach Wes Williams (no
relation) has. been an inspiration
to him and is the major reason
why he transferred from Colo
rado State to run for the Cou
gars. He received a scholarship
at Colorado State, but for per
sonal reasons and because of the
cold weather, Williams decided
to come to San Marcos to be
trained by his new mentor, coach
Williams. His ultimate goal is
to at least make it to the Olym

Returning sprinters includeAnthony Blacksher, Lucy Downey

The Pride Literary Supplement
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking student writing representing
inquiry and research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM.
Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student
writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take
writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much
as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both
exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read
with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility
is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives.

Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writ
ing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged.
Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical
terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be
parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate
academic discipline.
The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation
of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff
and faculty contributions will also be considered.
Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an
alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions.
For judging and layout purposes:
Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail,
phone number, and major or graduate field of study to:
The Pride Mailbox
“Student and Residential Life” Office
Commons 207
Also* E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an elec
tronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or
disks will not be returned.
Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001.
For further information, contact The Pride office by e-mail at pride@csusm.edu, or by phone at (760) 750-6099; or

URGENT HEALTH NOTICE
TO ALL NON-MANAGEMENT CSUSM EMPLOYEES
I was repeatedly denied health benefits while on disability leave, extending into retire
ment. This was immoral and possibly illegal. *
I urge each of you to contact your benefits administrator and request, no, DEMAND, a
sworn, notarized statement stating that your benefits will not be denied while off work for
any reason. Do not be fooled by anybody saying, “ We are here to help you.”
My health was bad during these denials, is poor now, and is unknown for the future.
It is very depressing not being able to see a doctor and/or psychiatrist and/or to get
medications when desperately needed.
If you are contemplating litigation against CSUSM for any reason, I will volunteer, for
free, as an expert witness, concerning my relationship with CSUSM from 8/20/92 to
present.
REMEMBER: Your health and the health of your loved ones may be in jeopardy. Please
contact your union rep as well.
WHAT IF?
If you are a female non-management employee or a male employee with a spouse or
otherwise, what would happen if you were denied medical benefits, as was done to me?
If pregnant, this could result in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or with a newborn who is
critically ill, a premature death. Either way, in my personal opinion, this would be
IMMORAL MANSLAUGHTER!!!!
I re-urge each of you to get a sworn, notarized statement from your benefits administrator,
co-signed by President Gonzales, specifying that your benefits will not be denied while
on leave.
Again, I will be glad to appear as a volunteer, free (redundancy intended), expert witness
concerning my personal experiences from 11/90, 8/92, 9/01, to the present.
have also paid out an estimated $2500 in dental bills because of denial of dental benefits.
I consider this ad and the one above to be my moral obligation. One can deny the truth,
but the truth cannot be denied!

Pride Editor
CSU faculty members are
working in excess of 50 hours per
week, according to the results of
a recent study. Released on Feb.
20, the study examined changes
in the amount and type of work
being conducted by faculty.
Compared to a similar study
conducted in 1990, the amount
of time spent teaching and stu
dent advising has not increased,
but the amount pf time* spent
on activities outside the class
room has added approximately
two hours per week to faculty
workload.
As quoted in the North
County Times, George Diehr,
California Faculty Association
(CFA) chapter president and
CSUSM College of Business
Administration faculty, said the
findings may be a way for fac
ulty to receive more time off for
research and that CSUSM now
what more research-oriented fac
ulty.”
The study attributed the
increase in scholarly activities'
and research to the expansion of
the faculty’s knowledge base and
the addition of younger faculty
members. In addition, the CSU
now has a larger, more complex
student body, new technology,
and a broader social spectrum,
which Contributes to more diverse
and challenging work for fac
ulty.
“CSU faculty members are
hard-working, committed to their
students, engaged in a wide range
of scholarly and creative activ
ities, and [they are] energetic
in reaching into their communi
ties,” said David Spence, CSU
executive vice chancellor and
chief academic officer, in a uni
versity press release.
The study, conducted in 2001,
included 2,547 faculty members
at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed
two-thirds of the contributing
participants.
In addition to this study, Ana
lytic Studies designed a survey
to find out how students rate
their college experience. Find
ings indicated that professors
at CSUSM spend a lower than
, average amount of time inter
acting with students outside the
classroom. The disproportionate
amount of time was attributed to
the fact that CSUSM is a com
muter campus, students don’t
stick around to talk, and they go
to work.
The CSU is now in the pro
cess of conducting a similar
survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities
around the nation that are com
parable to the CSU. The results
will be available in the fall and
will show similarities and differ

Jocelyn Brown
I am a biology major and will
be graduating in Spring 2003.
During my four years at Cal
State San Marcos, I have been
actively involved in represent
ing the student voice, advocating
for student’s rights and improv
ing and enriching campus life.
I have three years experience in
ASI and currently serve as your
ASI vice president of External
Affairs.
At this last year I initiated,
coordinated and participated in
many ASI events and programs.
In my capacity as vice president
of External Affairs, I am one
of two representatives from our
campus that sits on the California
State Student Association(CSSA),
which is a statewide student asso
ciation that represents the voice
of 380,000 CSU students to the
board of trustees. I also chair the
ASI External Affairs Committee,
which siphons information from
the statewide level down to the
students at our campus, includ

CSU policies, and campus pride
initiatives. Aside from my role
as vice president, I am also the
vice chair for the University Stu
dent Union Advisory Board and
an active member in the Envi
ronmental Club.
From my involvement, I have
gained a vast knowledge of ASI
and the university at large. I
believe that this gives me the
ability to transition easily into the
role of president, leaving more
time to hear, represent and seek
the student voice. I feel confi

Last Wednesday a power
outage hit Cal State San Marcos.
Students and faculty alike were
left without electricity from 11:15
a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
CSUSM student Jessica
Smith said, “I had to take two of
my exams in the dark. All of the
students gathered by the win
dows or sat under the emergency
hallway lights to take the test.
Out of all the buildings Univer
sity Hall was the worst because
there are hardly any windows.”
“It was total chaos, I had to
let my class go and just after
the students left the power came
back on,” said Tom Menden
hall, a teacher’s assistant in the
Literature and Writing Studies
Department.
According to San Diego Gas
and Electric (SDG&E), “The
outage prevented a potential,
uncontrollable blackout in the
San Diego area. The California
Independent System Operator
(Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to
drop 300 MW of power imme
diately. The resulting outage
affected 101 circuits at 11 sub
stations that serve portions of the
following communities: Blos
som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad,
Chula Vista, City Heights, El
Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills,
Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake
side, Lemon Grove, Mission
Hills, Mission Valley, down
town San Diego, National City,
North Park, Paradise Hills,
Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber
nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho
Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet
water.”
Even though CSUSM has a
generator it only provides light
to some elevators and emergency
halls. The Dome, Cougar Store
and many other offices had to
close due to the power outage.

Anza-Borrego but each
attempt was unsuccessful.
Hamilton changed his plea
in November to guilty while at
the same time promising to find
Vasseur’s body. No reason was
given for Hamilton’s attempt to
change his plea, as stated in the
North County Times.
“We can’t do much without
him telling us the truth,” Hendren said.
The suspicion fell to Hamil
ton early due to his never return
ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing
from police five days after Vas
seur’s disappearance and a previ
ous incident in which Hamilton
blocked Vasseur from leaving
his home until she hit him.
At the preliminary hearing,
witnesses testified that Hamilton
said he killed Vasseur by acci
dent during a fight with her and
dumped her body in the desert,
according to the North County
Times.
Prosecutors said Hamilton
killed Vasseur when she tried to
break off an affair with him, as
reported previously.
According to court papers,
Hamilton had a history of vio
lence toward women. A Wild
Animal Park co-worker alleged
that Hamilton sexually harassed
her while in a primate exhibit
in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly
punched another woman with a
closed fist and gave her a black
eye.
Vasseur’ husband, Charles,
^
said to the North County Times
that he now has little hope

»>Article cont. from pg. 1.
The advice Rizvi gives to
students is to research schol
arships and their requirements,
understand deadlines and state
requirements, and notify the
office of any changes.
According to Rizvi, the
financial aid office has more reg
ulations than the bank industry.
He said, “While we give the
money or checks to students,
there are a lot of things going
on in the back room. We have
to keep in compliance with state
standards.”
All the CSU system finan
cial aid offices would eventu
ally move to a new system, as
instructed by the chancellor, but
Rizvi’s current concentration is
on utilizing all the capabilities
of the current system.
Rizvi has a programming
diploma and a master’s degree
in Educational Counseling from
National University in San
Diego. He learned about the
opening at financial md through
his membership in California
Association of Financial Aid
Administrators (CASFA), which
provides a list of job postings.
Rizvi said he was not looking
for a job, but he saw the open
ing and became interested. He
researched the position and
became increasingly interested
in the position when he was
exposed to the technology and
student-friendly service offered
by the office.
Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips,
the former director of Financial
Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil
lips left the position last Decem
ber, which he had held since
the establishment of CSUSM in
1989.
Before coming to CSUSM,
Rizvi worked for USA Funds,
the biggest national student loan
company. He held the position of
national director for two years,
which ran a program with about
a $5 million budget. Rizvi said
that he was chosen out of 120
candidates and conducted 39
focus groups to help parents of
college students deal with loan
debts and to help students them
selves deal with college debt.

Honee J. Folk
The task of a leader is to
get people from where they are
to where they have never been
before. My name is Honee J. Folk,
and Lam running for ASI presi

skills and consistent advocacy
bn behalf of the student commu. nity at CSUSM, I plan to be the
force that takes our community
to where it has never been before.
The college is quickly expanding
and our community is expanding
as well. We need a leader who is
not afraid of change, welcomes
expansion, and will be the voice
of the entire community, not just
a select few. I am that leader,
your leader! A vote for me is an
assurance that your voice will be
heard. “It is not the critic who

of ASI president. I just recently

ASI president, I will do my best
to bring unity to our very diverse
campus. It is my belief and the
belief of others at Cal State San
Marcos that we have very little
student campus life at our univer
sity. I believe that I can unite our
campus and give the students an
active and vibrant campus life. I
am the chairwoman of the Col
lege Republicans on our campus
and am involved with several
other clubs. In working with
the College Republicans, I have
attained good leadership qual

my abilities.

I’m a full time first year stu

am running for ASI undergradu
ate representative. I am currently
the undergraduate representative
and have served on the search
committee for the ASI assistant
executive director. I am a member
of MEChA and also the Raza
Graduation Representative. Fur
thermore, I am the student leader
ship advocate for the Educational
Achievement and Retention Ser
vices (EARS), which has been
essential in building connections
with my constituents. As under
graduate representative, I will
keep you informed of all news
that affects your academic life
by posting flyers, having infor

open forums. I will strive to
inform and motivate students to
increase campus pride and social
gatherings. I am a determined,
motivated, and inspired student
who will strive to make this
a student-centered community.
So vote for me, Alan AveryMedina.
Shannon Barnett
“How can I get involved
on this campus?” was the first
question I asked when I arrived
last semester as an incoming
freshman. My name is Shannon
Barnett, and I am running for
undergraduate representative. My
major is liberal studies. Since
asking my first question about
getting involved, I have found a.
variety of answers. First semes
ter, I was in the Emerging Lead
ers Program. Currently, I am
chair of the ASI Programming
Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI
Women’s Club lacrosse team, and
philanthropy chair and assistant
rush of Alpha Chi Omega.
These
activities
have
enhanced my leadership abilities
while keeping me organized and
well rounded. On a new campus
where involvement is scarce and
many students are unaware of
what really goes on in ASI,
I realize the importance of a
great undergraduate representa
tive. This campus lacks commu
nity; I plan to take my knowledge
and experiences and build upon
them to establish goals we need
to bring the student body, ASI
and the faculty together. I will
facilitate student needs by listen
ing to the concerns and ideas of
the entire student body. We need
to voice our opinions and have
them heard. I urge you to take a
stand for your future. Vote for me,
Shannon Barnett, for undergrad
uate representative. Help make
this campus a place for you.
Jacqueline Campbell
I’m a biology major cur
rently working on my undergrad
uate degree. I am running for
undergraduate representative. As
a member of Alpha Xi Delta,
I have learned leadership skills,
participated in community ser
vice, as well as campus activities,
and I know what it tak§s to repre
sent a community of students. A
representative speaks on behalf of
the students he or she represents.
I want to add more sports, activ
ities, and clubs to this campus.
I am the voice that will make
these things happen, and I will
do all in my power to make this
campus great and a campus each
and every student hopes for.
Marc DeGuzman
Leadership can be defined
as creating a positive social
change in a person’s life. As a
freshman majoring in business
administration with an emphasis
in high-tech management, I see
the potential this college pos
sesses to transform from a com
muter school into a place where
active college life flourishes. Col
lege life is not just going to dif
ferent classes. It is a journey
that students choose to embark
on, filled with life long lessons
and outlets to the “real world.”
I want to help expand the pro
grams and activities already pres
ent, increase student involvement,
voice student opinions and con
cerns, and bring their ideas out
in the open. I believe that I
am qualified to be an under
graduate representative because
I posses leadership qualities and
have applied them in past experi
ences. By joining a fraternity on
campus, I have learned to interact
with other students on a deeper
level. Through many leadership
conventions and programs, I have
learned different types of lead
ership styles and have developed
my own. I feel I am dedicated,
responsible, and capable of taking
the initiative to accomplish tasks
successfully. Finally, I possess
the desire to impact other peo
ple’s lives in a positive manner.
Angineen Lynnae Hardin
As a recent graduate of the
class of2001 from Mount Carmel
High School, let me introduce
myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L.
Hardin and am currently a second
semester freshman majoring in
psychology. Throughout high
school I was heavily involved in
several clubs, organizations and
sports..I participated in tennis,
basketball and track. I was an
active member in Key Club and
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
a peer advocate and academic
tutor. I held leadership positions
in our African American Student
Alliance such as historian, vice
president and president. I was
also honored with “Who’s Who
Among American High School
Students” award for two consec
utive years. I have given the same
dedication to my college career.
I am currently the publicity coor
dinator for the Pan African Stu
dent Alliance here on campus
and the assistant to the coordi
nator of Academic Assistance of
EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones.
I’m very excited about attend
ing a new university. I believe
becoming ASI undergraduate
representative will be the perfect
opportunity to learn more about
CSUSM and give me the oppor
tunity to be a part of several
groundbreaking projects as the
expansion and development of
this university continues. I am a
passionate student who is will
ing and ready to accept the
responsibility of representing my
fellow undergrads as we develop
CSUSM into our home.
College of Arts & Sciences
Representative
Kristie McMullen
I’m running for the represen
tative of the College of Arts &
Sciences from the Education Col
lege perspective. I am a liberal
studies major with a sociology
minor. I have attended CSUSM
for the past three years. In this
time of being a cougar, I have
seen many things improve and
change for the better. Change and
improvement is what I am all
about.
I have been sitting on the ASI
Board of Directors as the under
graduate representative for the
past five months. In this time, I
have learned what it is to be a
representative of the students. I
know that you all want a dedi
cated individual who is willing
to stand up for your wants and
needs. For example, the parking
permit-zoning situation was pre
sented to me at a board meeting,
and I made sure many of you
were able to voice your opinions
and thoughts. In doing this we,
the student body, shut the pro
posal down. I want to be able to
serve each individual at CSUSM
with as much voice as I can.
Maria F. Schroeder
I am applying for the posi
tion of the College of Arts and
Sciences representative. I want
to be your voice, and voice your
concerns to the leadership of
CSUSM. As a communication
major with a Spanish minor, I am
more than qualified to accom
plish this mission. Throughout
my three years at Cal Stat San
Marcos, I have been active on
campus, primarily by being active
in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.
In this organization I have held
various elected positions. Of these
positions, one of the most impor
tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s
representative to the Women’s
Greek Council. As a delegate on
the council, I voted on various
issues important to the Women’s
Greek community. This experi
ence has prepared me to be your
College of Arts and Sciences rep
resentative. I believe a student
representative should have an
open mind, be proactive in voic
ing student concerns to the lead
ership of CSUSM, and always
maintain an open door policy.
If elected, I promise to respect
every student concern that comes
to my attention, and to deal with
those concerns in an expeditious,
prudent, and unbiased manner. If
you want a College of Arts and
Sciences representative that is
dedicated to hearing your ideas,
being your voice, and making
sure that your voice gets heard,
then vote for me, Maria Fernanda
Schroeder.
Shannon Tweed
I’m a full time junior with a
major in human development.
I am running for the position
of College of Arts & Sciences
representative for ASI. I am an
active student member in the
Human Development and Vet
eran’s Association clubs. I am
also an EOP peer mentor on
campus, which has provided me
with knowledge and experience
to assist students within my col
lege while they navigate through
this bureaucratic system.
I am the best choice for Col
lege of Arts & Sciences represen
tative because as a U.S. Marine
Veteran, I have the discipline, loy
alty, and commitment to address
the interests, needs and concerns
of the student body in the Col
lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote
for me, Shannon Tweed.
College of Business Representative
Matthew E. Coultas
My intention, and overall
responsibility, is to bring the opin
ions of the students enrolled in
the College of Business Admin
istration (CoBA) program to the
attention of the ASI governing
board. In doing so, I will voice
an accurate and forthcoming rep
resentation of the wishes and
concerns of those in the CoBA
program. I will be responsible
and dependable in the course of
carrying out the requirements of
the college of business represen
tative position. By performing
my duties in an honest and faith
ful manner, I intend to become
an asset to both ASI as well as
the general student population.
Deanna C. Garcia
I am running for College
of Business representative. This
is my sixth semester at Cal
State San Marcos, and I am work
ing on my bachelor’s degree in
business administration-service
sector management. Currently, I
am involved in a club on campus
and have held two executive posi
tions, one minor position, and
have served on two committees
within the organization. These
positions has given me the oppor
tunity to work closely with the
executive board to make deci
sions that benefit the group as a
whole. I will bring many ideas,
suggestions, an unbiased opinion
and a good attitude to ASI. I plan
to address all interests, needs and
concerns of the student body of
the College of Business as well
as insure that the mission state
ment of Cal. State San Marcos is
upheld in the College of Business
Administration.
Terra Nelson
I’m running for the position
of ASI representative for the Col
lege of Business Administration.
If elected, I will be a new face
to ASI; however, I am an old
one here at CSUSM. I have been
attending CSUSM since 1998,
and I intend to graduate with
a business degree in the spring
of 2003. As I enter my eighth
semester here at CSUSM, I have
decided to join ASI because I
want to bring freshness to the
team and allow different voices
and concerns on campus to be
heard.
I would be proud to serve
in ASI because I believe in the
values of intellectual engagement,
community, integrity, innovation,
and inclusiveness at CSUSM.
Implementing these values will
help me fulfill the vision of
CSUSM becoming a distinctive
public university in all facets of
academic excellence, service to
the community, and improving
learning by new innovative meth
ods.
Since our college is so young,
I hope to be a part of a team
that will lay a strong foundation
not only for today’s students, but
also for the students of tomor
row. I’m asking for the opportu
nity to build and share the vision
of CSUSM and develop a distinc
tive school that we are proud to
call our own.
Scott O’Hare
I’m enrolled in the College of

“ Butt O u t ”
This is a response to the arti
cle “Stop It!” I found the lan
guage quite abrasive and laden
with messages of guilt. How
ever, I do realize tlie importance
of what was written. Personally,
I do not allow family or friends
to extinguish cigarettes at my
home by snuffing them out wher
ever they like, but my home is not
an institution. The staff writer
who wrote this article could
have better facilitated effective
communication by mentioning
how well our campus looks and
how, in the effort to maintain its
beauty, students could make an
active effort to dispose of their
cigarettes in their proper place.
Furthermore, I find the imag
ery used to get the point across
ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg
ing them as I walk to and fro.”
The better approach to a mes
sage such as this is by using
positive powers of persuasion,
not trying to heap upon smokers
an insurmountable level of guilt.
Reading The Pride, I believe,
is for the purpose of assessing
the progress and development of
its staff and students, measuring
how much we have achieved and

Still, I am writing this
brief letter in hopes that
some reader out there has

opinion articles of a human

complain for my own personal
benefit. As one of the editors
for The Pride, I faithfully
spend every Sunday in the
newspaper office. I recently
had this great idea. I could
go to the student lounge, pop
some popcorn and take a

The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of
their minds ensconsed within the murky deep.
The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core.
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and
we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty
and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and
ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem
age's lies won't absolve you. And the professional truth and the

you.

more plastic than protein, and you intellect depends on your TV.
Where is the justice when no one is at fault, and a human life is
tragically wasted? How fragile is the flame that burns within us all
to light each passing day?
PROGRESS is a debt we all must pay. It's convenience we all
cherish. It's pollution we disdain.

JOY WHITMAN
for The Pride
So the snowboarding and ski
season hasn’t been so great due
to the lack of rain, but the condi
tions have been great for surfers,
including those on our surf team.
For those of you to whom this is
groundbreaking news, WAKE UP!
Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a
surf team and has had four com
petitions during the regular season.
ASI added surfing to its list of
approved club sports on January 25.
The team is small at the moment,
but has all the potential to become
lively and popular within the next
year and beyond. The surf team
joined 23 teams at the Seaside
Reef competition over President’s
Day weekend and took sixth place.
Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned
20 points for the team, longboarder
Dustin Franks earned 18 and after
winning three consecutive heats,
also took first place in the College
Longboard Division. Fairbanks was
a key player in this competition;
shredding through five rounds and
just missing advancement to the
college men’s final. He took sev
enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a
strong supporting role, earning 13
points for the team and taking sixth
place overall.
Check out next week’s edition
of The Pride for the results of
their final regular season competi
tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington
Beach. For more information about
the team contact coach Amber
Puha at apuha@csusm.edu.

Paralympics Light Up Olympic
Flame Again
A Preview of What Is to Come
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Arts Editor
Beginning Saturday, March
9, Olympic fans can turn their
TVs to A&E and watch the
Paralympic Games. The Olympic
flame will be relit and the world’s
disabled athletes will compete in
Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and
sledge hockey. In addition to
competitive events, Canada and
the U.S. will play an exhibition
game of ice hockey.
Over 36 countries and 1,000
athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath
letes, 41 men and 16 women) will
compete in the 2002 Games.
The opening ceremony on
Thursday, March 7 will include
entertainment from Stevie
Wonder,
country
singers
Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop
perfomer Donny Osmond, and
pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour
program on Saturday, March 9th
at 2 p.m. EST.
What is the difference
between the Olympics and Para
lympics?
Unlike the Olympics, the
Paralympics use a classification
system that enables athletes to
compete on an equal level: all
athletes compete with a pre
determined degree of disability.
Athletes are divided into
three categories: LW classes
(competitors
with
_
locomotive disabil
ities), sitting LW
classes, and B classes
(competitors
with
visual impairment).
was introduced by athletes at
the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic
Winter Games. Since then, cross
country skiing events have been
split into two separate races: clas
sical and free technique, accord
ing to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Alpine Skiing
Men and women will com
pete in four alpine skiing dis
ciplines during the Salt Lake
2002 Paralympic Winter Games:
downhill, super-G, giant slalom
and slalom.
Courses differ in length, ver
tical drop and number of gates,
all of which dictate the skier’s
technique and speed, according
to the Paralympics 2002 web
site.
Giant slalom and slalom
skiing events have been medal
events since the first Paralympic
Games. Downhill was added at
the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic
Winter Games, and super-G at
the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym
pic Winter Games.
Ice Sledge Hockey

despite their physical impair

consists of two events
- cross-country and
biathlon. Cross-coun

am very motivated to work along

changes for the better while serv

I am a member of the Women’s
Leadership Committee, which
focuses on outreach to disad

which provides them with pos

gram encourages each young
person to utilize the other as a
beneficial resource and means of
support.
I am treasurer of the Pan
African Student Alliance, and I
am responsible for keeping accu
rate records of our accounts. I
update our statements and main
tain open communication with
the officers and members of our
organization concerning budget
ary matters. With the help of
the network I have established
here on campus with students,
faculty, and staff, I will achieve
each goal set forth this coming
year. My dedication to student
involvement and student life will
be reflected in my work on
the ASI budget, so vote me, Crys

will start with me.

The time has come for us to
take hold of our university and
mold it into ‘our’ university! The
time has come for change! The
division that exists between stu
dent government and the stu
dents of Cal State San Marcos is
wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett
Gladys, am running for the posi

The Pride
Affairs so that I can work to rec
tify this situation. In this posi
tion, I will be able to work with
students to promote change at Cal
State San Marcos and to work
on a statewide level with every
Cal State University to fight for
student interests. Cal State San
Marcos needs leadership that is
in touch with the needs and con
cerns of students and is willing
to work diligently for those inter
ests. As vice president of External
Affairs, I will
communicate
with students
and speak for
them at ASI
and CSSA conferences. I will
work to enrich the lives of stu
dents and to see involvement on
campus grow. Through campus
pride initiatives and increased
student involvement in the stu
dent government, we can improve
this university! There are great
things on the horizon for Cal
State San Marcos, and it is my
wish that every student be a part
of them.

Being a well-known indi
vidual by many students, staff
and faculty, my involvement on
campus stretches well beyond the
area of student government. I
am a devoted student advocate
actively involved with student life
and student issues. My dedica
tion to student life is a key con
tribution I bring to ASI.
In conclusion, what I have to
offer the student body of CSUSM
is broad experience in student
government and student life that
will help me effectively and effi
ciently carry out the duties of
vice president of External Affairs
to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President
Arti A. Patel
I am running for the position
of executive vice president. I am
a sociology major who will be
graduating next June. The reason
I am running is simple: there is a
need to increase student involve
ment on campus, and I feel I am
the most qualified to handle that
job. As the current executive vice
president of ASI, I am in charge
of placing students who want to
get involved either through com
mittees, focus groups or other
activities/events in need of a stu
dent voice. As a student who has
been involved in many aspects
of student life on this campus,
I have observed the increasing
need for student involvement and
student voice. In my first week
as the newly appointed execu
tive vice president, I was able to
recruit three students to fill cur
rently vacant board of director
positions, as well as place sev
eral students on committees with
openings. If elected as executive
vice president for the 2002-2003
school year, I plan to implement
programs such as a campus pride
initiative, as well as other ini
tiatives, that will help to build
campus community.
I have been involved in var
ious aspects of ASI for the
past three years through differ

of that hiatus was spent in the US
Army, where I worked as a clerk
in the Finance Corps. Part of my
job in the U.S. Army Finance
Corps was to be the debt man
ager for over 10,000 soldiers from
two bases in Germany and also
for the camps I was deployed to
in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job
required a lot of organization and
efficiency. Coincidentally, these
. very same skills are needed to be
an effective ASI corporate secre
tary.
Being away from college for
so long has helped me to appre
ciate the opportunity I have to
get involved and make a differ
ence. To that end, when I came
to CSUSM last semester, I hit
the ground running. Instantly, I
joined the lacrosse team, began
sitting on the ASI External
Affairs Committee, and started
up the Progressive Activists Net
work (PAN), of which I am the
current president. One of the
things I found striking about
CSUSM when I came here was
the lack of community, identity,
and school pride. Through PAN,
I have been trying to change that
by collaborating and communi
cating with several other student
organizations and bring events
to campus that will foster feel
ings of community, identity, and
school pride. For example, PAN’s
monthly Socially Relevant Film
Series (started this semester) has
arranged to show films with
PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu
dent Association, APSS, and the
Environmental Club. Right now,
this campus is quiet and lacks a
conspicuous identity, but it does
not have to be like that. We have
so much potential, to make this
place fun, to make this place
rock, and most importantly, to
make this place ours.
There have been times this
year when student voices were
not heard by the leadership of
OSUSM, and sometimes that has
been disastrous (i.e. the Com
mencement controversy). As ASI
corporate secretary, it would be
my job to keep the information
student leaders need to make
informed decisions on past, cur
rent, and future issues. But I do
not feel that is enough. If elected,
I promise to be a proactive
secretary who is dedicated to
keeping students abreast of cur
rent issues, finding out how stu
dents feel about those issues, and
making sure that the leadership
of CSUSM know how students
feel about issues. If you want
an ASI corporate secretary ded
icated to keeping you informed,
hearing your ideas, being your
voice, and making CSUSM a
place we can all be proud of, vote
for me, Erik Roper.

Cinco de M ayo Celebration Held on C ampus M ay 2 nd
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Staff Writer
For the third year in a row,
Cal State San Marcos celebrated
Cinco de Mayo. The event, however, was celebrated,on May 2
in collaboration with Associated
Students Inc., MEChA, Assistant
Dean of Students Tim Bills, and
Ballet Folkl6rico Mixtlan.
"Since Cinco de Mayo was
on a Saturday, we decided to have
the event on Wednesday so that it
would attract more students," said
Yesenia Balcazar, current dance
instructor for Ballet Folklorico.
The event attracted approximately 80 students, faculty and
staff. "It was a very colorful,
beautiful representation of the
culture," said senior Mary
Bernard.
The program included singing by El Chute, Balcazar's dad,
and her sister, Norma Balcazar.
"I have been singing professionally for five years," said Mario
Balacazar, El Chute. "I introduced my daughters to this environment when they were little.
Now I am very happy to see
them perform."
Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan, a
dance troupe, performed dances
such as La Bruja,
La Bamba from
Veracruz, and the
well known Jarabe
Tapatio, el Sol de
la Negra and Los
Machetes.

is made up of nine
members; half of
them are Cal State
San Marcos students and the other
half from the community.
A main speaker for the event
was
Ricardo
Favela, president
of MEChA. He
told his personal
story of how his
parents bought a
mariachi suit for
him when he was
in
elementary
school.
"When
Cinco de Mayo
came around they
told me to put on
the mariachi suit."
He was expected
to wear it to school
and was the only
one of his classmates who celebrated the day at his
school. "I was very
ashamed that I was
the only one . .. but
today I stand here
very proud to celebrate Cinco de
Mayo," said Favela.
Cinco de Mayo is
not Mexico's independence
day,
which is celebrated
on September 16.
"Cinco de Mayo is
a celebration of a
battle in which the
French army was
attempting
to
invade Mexico/It's
a day in which Mexicanos united
and organized to defeat the most
powerful, foreign enemy. This
is why it's such a significant date
for Mexico and for our people,"
said Favela.
"It is a very important event
to remember, being that we are
so close to Mexico. We need to
appreciate the significance that it
has to the Mexican community,"
said junior Angela Magana. "It is
also a good way to preserve culture."
Sophomore Ana Gabriela
added, "I was glad that they
clarified why we acknowledged
Cinco de Mayo. Furthermore
it is also a great cultural experience for our campus, it shows
the awareness of the struggle of

CSUSM Welcomes
New Director of
Registration & Records

New Water Tank Saves Energy
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While walking to your car,
you may have noticed the new
water tank being constructed
near the parking lot. According to
Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning Design and Construction, the tank is called a
"Thermal Energy Storage or TES
tank." This TES tank is designed
to hold a large capacity of chilled
water that will be used by the air
conditioning units on campus.
The construction of the TES
tank is in response to the current
energy crisis in California. "The
tank adds capacity to our cooling system; therefore, we do not
have to r^n our chillers during
the day when electricity is most
costly," said Decker.
According to Dave Dennis,
Assistant Director of Planning,
Design and Construction, "once
the tank is completed, over one
million gallons of chilled water
can be stored." This water is
chilled at night when the electricity rates are lower, thus providing an alternative to the current process of operating the
chillers during the day.
"CSUSM
has
received
$875,000 dollars from San Diego
Gas & Electric to offset the $2
million dollar construction costs
for the TES tank," said Decker.
This grant is provided because
CSUSM is taking steps to reduce
the demand for energy during the
peak mid-day hours. According
to Decker, "the remaining con-
struction costs will quickly be
made up in saved energy costs."
Decker also added, "The stored
water could also be useful in the
event of an emergency such as
an earthquake or fire."
"Construction was initially
scheduled for earlier this year,"
explained Dennis, "but the heavy
rains delayed everything for
about two months." Chicago
Bridge and Iron, of Clairemont,
began construction of the 80by 40-foot tank three weeks
ago. Foreman Paul Tackett said
that the structural work should
be completed within a week.
According to Dennis, additional
work such as insulation, piping
and painting the TES tank
pushed the projected completion
date into early August.
Enthusiasm, energy, and a
customer-service background
are key traits that Martha Ann
Haney brings to her new job
as Director of Registration and
Records. One of the main goals
in her position, Haney said, is
to serve the students.
"The school is growing so
fast and has some wonderful
goals," said Haney about her
impression of the university.
Haney added, "I'm so excited
to be a part of it." She said
her transition to CSUSM, which
began May 1, has been incredibly smooth since everyone has
been very helpful towards her.
There are nine staff members
that Haney oversees.

brings her experience in the
field of college student records

SpringFest Arrives at Cal State:
Thousands Expected, Hundreds Show

"
Cal State San Marcos hosted
their Second Annual SpringFest
on Saturday, May 5, featuring a
Caribbean carnival, live music,
a f un run for kids, and games
andfood.
Last month, a morning storm
brought hail and rain out to the
SpringFest, originally scheduled
for April 21. Last minute cancellations hurt ASFs budget for the
festival.
"Trying to be prepared, we
had [the] Facilities [department]
set up everything the night
before. We had a huge stage, a
canopy and all the bathrooms set
up already," said Brad Schmidt,
ASI's club services technician.
When rain struck, CSUSM facilities staff and ASI members
scrambled to bring the valuable
sound
equipment
indoors,
Although the total bill for rentals
and labor has not yet come in,
Schmidt said, "It was a pretty
good hit."
With a little adjustment,
including a smaller stage setup,
ASI was able to reschedule the
event, keeping the original
line-up of events nearly intact,
"We are working with student
funds, so we try to be as thrifty
as possible," Schmidt said. One
feature, the Battle of the Bands,
had to be rescheduled for May 21
because many of the performers
were unavailable on Saturday,
Probably the most anticipated
attraction was the Caribbean Carnival. The Trinidad-style carnival reenactment was researched,
produced and performed by Professor Loni Berry's theater arts
class. Groups of students wore
elaborate costumes and danced
and competed for best carnival

The Pride
Founders of Chiapas Media Project Present Films
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Alexandra
Halkin ajid
Francisco Vazquez, founders of
the Chiapas Media Project, presented three indigenous community-made films to a full auditorium in ACD 102 on Thursday,
May 3.
Professor Anibal YanezChavez introduced the presentation, explaining that the Chiapas
Media Project "is a bi-national,
US-Mexico partnership that provides video equipment, computers and training, enabling indigenous communities in southern
Mexico to create their own media
and tell their stories from their
own perspective."
Before and after the showing
of the three films, "Sacred Land,"
"Silence of the Zapatistas" and
"Defending the Forests," Halkin
' and Vazquez spoke on the work
of the media project that began
in 1998. The films document,
respectively, the plight of the
landless indigenous farmers in
Chiapas, the Zapatista's negotiations with the Mexican government, and deforestation in the
state of Guerrero by transnational corporations dating back
to the 1950s.
Halkin, a native of Chicago
who has a background as a
video producer, said, "We did not
create these films. These films
came directly from the indigenous communities. We only provided them the equipment and
taught them how to express themselves through it." She explained
that the idea for the project first
occurred to her when working
on a documentary in Chiapas
in 1995. Finding herself working repeatedly in areas with hundreds of news camera crews, she
noted that she "could see that
the indigenous people were very
conscious that their images were
being recorded and taken away."
"I realized that this has been
the most documented indigenous movement in the history of
the world," said Halkin, "and it
amazed me to think that these
people had no, access to the necessary equipment to tell their
own stories. And they need to tell
their own stories because we cannot just depend on white people
to go down and represent these
indigenous communities accurately."
Halkin began speaking with
numerous groups and organizations, including the US-Mexico
Fund for Culture, that supported
her first efforts for indigenous
self-representation in a 1998
media project involving youth
from Chicago, Mexico City and
Oaxaca. The project documented
14 days within the community of

Morelia, Chiapas. "The capacity
to produce videos in Morelia
empowered the indigenous community to present their own view
of themselves both nationally and
internationally," said Halkin.
Vazquez, a native of Mexico
City, met Halkin during the 1998
Chiapas Media Youth Project and
moved to Chiapas two years ago.
He explained how the process of
making the films begins and ends
within the communities' governing assemblies and mirrors the
highly democratic forms of consensus governing that Zapatista
communities are respected for.
Subject matter for the films is
generated within the assemblies
and the finished films are offered
to the communities for review
and possible alteration before
they are distributed or shown
publicly.
Singleton Bridget Jones Decides to
Take a Turn at Living Life
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
I rarely get the chance to rave
about a f ilm, primarily because
most films nowadays are just
mediocre. One thing is for certain: "Bridget Jones's Diary"
is splendid. From a fantastic
script, to impressive actors, this
film easily could have turned
into another mushy romance, but
escapes mediocrity because of
the brilliant wit that exudes from
all of the characters.
What one might notice first
abut . this spectacular film is
Renee Zellweger's stunning performance as Bridget Jones. She
not only pulls off a convincing
British accent, something that
other Americans (such as Kevin
Costner) fail at miserably, but
also her character is not perfect.
Bridget Jones smokes too much,
drinks too much and babbles
incoherently under pressure; yet,
Zellweger charms not only the
audience but also, two very attractive bachelors, played by Hugh
Grant and Colin Firth.
What is refreshing about
Grant's character, Daniel Cleaver,
is that he is a jerk. Women
always fall in love with Grant's
characters because he always
plays a sweet, lovable man. In
"Four Weddings and a Funeral,"
he played a commitment-phobic
man but managed to make the
audience love him for i t In a
reversal of emotion, in "Bridget
Jones's Diary" we easily resist
Grant's charms knowing that
he not only shies away from
commitment but also hurts our
beloved Bridget Jones.
Then there is Darcy, played
by Firth. Not unlike the hard-tolove Mr. Darcy of "Pride and
Prejudice," Mark Darcy is a
brooding, quiet man. The first
time I saw the film, I almost
wished that Cleaver would
become a nicer guy and get the
girl because Darcy just seemed
too much of a prude. The second
time I saw the film, however, I
began to fall in love with Darcy's
soft-spoken eloquence and kind
generosity that he showers onto
Bridget Jones.
Jim Broadbent plays the sad
sack dad of Bridget, and is
soon to star in the upcoming
film "Moulin Rouge." Between
Broadbent and Gemma Jones
(Jones's mother) it becomes
apparent why Bridget is so odd
yet wonderful. Both Broadbent
and Jones breathe new life into
what easily could have turned
into a generic storyline. Her parents, being Bridget's role model
for relationships, are frightening
at first, but then when they are
able to work their own problems
out, it becomes clear that, at least
in this film, love wins.
The group* including Tim
Bevan that produced "Four
Weddings and a Funeral" and
"Notting Hill," also produced
"Bridget Jones's Diary." When I
first heard that, I almost turned
away from watching this film
because I could not handle another perfect romance with Hugh
Grant as the gorgeous dream man
who elegantly stumbles over his
words. Luckily, this film shies
away from the romantic comedy
norm and embraces its own
feminist style while being a
unique version of "Pride and
Prejudice."
According to the Internet
Movie Database (IMDB), "aside
from bearing a resemblance to
Jane Austen's 'Pride and
Prejudice,' the film also features
a number of veterans of Austen
film adaptations." Screenwriter
Andrew Davies also, wrote the
screenplay for the 1995 film
"Pride and Prejudice."
Hugh Grant and Gemma
Jones both appeared in "Sense
and Sensibility." Colin Firth, who
plays Mark Darcy, played Mr.
Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice."
Also according to IMDB, in
the film "Daniel Cleaver (Grant)
and Bridget Jones (Zellweger)
work for Pemberley Press.
Pemberley is the name of
Fitzwilliam Darcy's estate in
"Pride and Prejudice."
Helen Fielding, executive
producer and co-writer of the
screenplay, also wrote the original novel about a 32-year-old
woman who discovers that being
herself—is the true path to
romance.
Vazquez continued by saying that, "These people have to
work as farmers during the day
and fit time in to create films
after their crops are tended to.
For this reason, we end up with a
self-representation which is really authentic and very unique."
Vazquez explained that the
media project was crucial
because "the way in which the
mainstream media is presenting
the lives of these people is full of
misunderstandings and lack of
information. This is because the
corporate media is not interested
in what is really happening; they
are interested in profit. That's
why it's important for the indigenous to be able to tell their
own stories, and for us to make
an equal effort in reaching audiences. Otherwise their efforts
would be useless."
"It is our duty to help get this
technology and training to these
people specifically because they
are unrepresented," said Halkin.
"In order to have real democracy and discussion in this world,
everyone has to have access to
this technology. We should all
be represented and be on a level
playing field," she continued.
The project remains financially challenged explained
Halkin, who passed around a
donation bag at the presentation
and displayed videos, indigenous
handicrafts and clothing for sale.
"I mean, no foundation will give
me funding to give cameras to
Zapatistas."
Since 1998, Halkin reports
that the Chiapas Media Project
has provided countless hours of
training, 50 digital video cameras, three VHS linear editing systems and a fully-outfitted media
center in San Cristobal de Las
Casas, Chiapas to the indigenous
peoples of Mexico.
The presentation of the
Chiapas Media Project and their
films was sponsored by
CSUSM's Center for Border and
Regional Affairs and was made
possible in part by the university's Global Affairs Committee
and the Visual and Performing
Arts Department.

What is wonderful about
films is how you can relate to
the main character. As a single
woman, this film refreshes my
spirit because Bridget Jones is
a regular person. Unlike the perfect archetypal female in most
romantic comedies, she screws
up a lot. This gives me hope that I
too can find someone like Darcy
who, after reading in Bridget's
diary that she hates him, goes
out and buys her a new diary
to start their relationship over.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is playing now in theaters and is rated
R by the MPAA for language
and some strong sexuality.
t h e Web Site
Films rarely come out these
days without some package deal.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is no
exception.
On the official web site
at http://entertainment.msn.com/
bridget, those singletons who
cannot get enough of the movie
can enjoy trailers, sound bites,
pictures, biographies and all the
generic rubbish that goes into
a film web site. However, the
c&gwf
standard was not quite enough
for our Ms. Jones, so included in
the site are a list of quotes from
famous single women, and a
fun personality quiz that answers
"How Bridget Jones are You?"
There are also "Bridget's
Britishisms" explained, which
was quite useful since I still had
no idea what a "tarts and vicars"
party really meant after seeing
the film twice.
t h e Soundtrack
I am a soundtrack junkie. I
will buy soundtracks of films
I hate because the music is so
good, and I often make the mistake of buying a soundtrack to
a film I love, only to discover
I do not love the soundtrack.
Right after the first time I saw
the film, I bought the music. The
soundtrack is just okay. It does
have some great covers from
Sheryl Crow and others, but just
does not have the energy to keep
up with the great memory of
the hilarious film. However, it is
good music but doesn't quite capture the true essence of Bridget
Jones.

In
sunny
Southern
California many people participate in outdoor sports and activities. Sailing is just one of the
many sports available in San
Diego, but it is perhaps the only
place where it is possible to
compete against some of the
best sailors in the world every
week. San Diego is home to
several people who compete and
win nationally and internationally, and who regularly race the
local fleet races. Sailing is also a
sport where inexperienced sailors are always welcome, as long
as they are enthusiastic and willing to learn.
Http://sdsailing.com is the
best collection of sailing information on the web for local sailing. The main page is a little
crowded with links, but the rest
of the site is a well-organized

This main page consists of

After a long season, the men's
golf team showed some cougar
power, t he men's golf team
won the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Western Regional tournament on April 26 at the Black
Horse Golf Course in Seaside, a
54-hole event on a 6,593-yard,
72-par course.
"Last year, we won the NAIA
regional," said head golf coach
Fred Hanover, "This year, I look
for my team to play at or near
their potential."
Prior to the regional, NAIA
ranked the men's golf team sixth
in the nation. The team said
that every tournament that they
played prepared them for the
challenges and competition they
faced at the regional. Now, as
they prepare for the nationals,
they will work as a team to bring
home the trophy. "We have an
excellent chance to win, if we
play well," said Brett Dolch, who
led his team as the top individual
player (223).
Dolch, who has played golf
since he was eight years old,
came from Orange County to
play golf and to get his degree

in business. "Coach has a lot
of experience," said Dolch, "He
knows how we feel since he has
played the game. He continuously assists me with my mental
focus on the game."
Cougar teammate Rob
Keller, who tied for second place
(225) at the regional added,
"Coach Hanover has helped me
with my mental game and to
get focused once I'm on the golf
course." Keller started playing
golf when he was seven years
old.
When asked about the team's
expectations at the nationals,
Dolch said, "As long as my teammates and I play well, I will
be okay. For me each game is
a 'confidence builder.'" Keller
added, "I really have a good feeling about the nationals."
The players headed to the
NAIA western Regionals are:
Brett Dolch, sophomore; Rob
Keller, sophomore; Joe Rathburn, sophomore; Cory Scoggin, sophomore; and Tony Sellers, junior.

The Cougars made very good
showings the past two weeks
at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational
on April 23 and the Cal/Nevada
Invitational on the 28.
The Pomona-Pitzer began as
a cold, damp and windy day and
remained that way until the end.
Since the invitational was located
at the base of Mt. Baldy, this
was the type of weather that
the athletes said they expected.
What they didn't expect was to
do well.
Mike Shannon, with a time
of 4:01.97, and Mike Manzano,
4:09.66, both ran in the men's
1500 meter. Anthony Blacksher
ran a personal best of 14.74 in
the 110-meter hurdles and Lucy
Downey ran her year's best in the
400 meter with a time of 57.42.

Lanele Cox placed 11th in the

�Going to Class Is Part of College Experience
By JAYNE BRAMAN
Pride Graduate Intern
Before embracing Jeremy
Zagarella's shared experiences
in his article, "College Changes
You: Senior Experiences on
Spring Break," my educational
background in critical thinking encourages me to evaluate
statements made by Zagarella.
Z a g a r e11 a
described the performance of a tribal
ceremony in splendid
detail, but he doesn't
provide a description
of what the ceremony
symbolizes. His stated significance of "an
open social outlook on
sex and rebirth" was a
bit generic. The beauty
comes in understanding not what they do,
but why they do it. While I
also find beauty in cultural
practices between consenting
adults, I do, however, have difficulty in accepting acts of
violence against the innocent,
which in this case are the children.
As a witness to the "most
sacred" ceremony of the tribal
community, Zagarella depicts
an act where women "thrust
the infant's head down upon
the point of the rock." He credits his educational experience
at CSUSM for enlightening his
mind to be able to watch this
scene, repeated approximately
one hundred times according to
his statistics. I, however, don't
believe that I can suspend my
"insensitive American" beliefs
in human rights without more
of an understanding as to what
makes this act "sacred."
Asking me to shelve my
compassion to view this act
as beautiful is like asking
me to accept acts of mutilation or even genocide in the
name of cultural ceremony or
rites of passage. Even though
I understand the controversy
surrounding the fact that we
impose judgment on other cultures according to our standards, my experience in crit-
Through my own observations
as well as through conversations with faculty, I am struck
this semester by an alarming
absenteeism rate on this campus. I can't help but wonder,
where is it stated in the catalog,
the Bible of any college community, that attending class is
optional?
Granted, many people have
the impression that part
of the college experience does indeed
include the freedom of
knowing that if they do
not attend class, no one
is going to call their
parents. By not attending class, students miss
out on the opportunity
to experience the intellectual growth through
shared ideas.
A few weeks ago,
The Pride ran an article about
student apathy. Zagarella's article supports the idea that there
are plenty of activities oh campus for students who are willing t o get involved. Students
complain that there is not
enough to do on this campus,
and, in response, a Campus
Climate Committee has been
formed to address the needs
of the students. But, if we cannot get students to come to
campus to attend class, why do
we think students will attend
anything else? Campus events
are meant to enrich the college
experience, not be the college
experience.
So, if you complain that
you are not getting anything
out of your educational experience, perhaps you need to
examine how much you have
invested in the experience in
order to expect any returns.
"It is i n the
classroom where
intellectual growth
takes place as we
open our m inds..."
ical analysis enables me to
question the validity of such
rites.
The main point of
Zagarella's article, however, is
not lost on me. I appreciate
his sharing of what the educational experience at CSUSM
has to offer to the individual
who is willing to open his or
her mind. Since I have taken
a course with Zagarella, I am
aware that he attends classes
regularly and that he comes
prepared and willing to participate in an intellectual discussion.
As students, we can read
books on our own, but it is in
the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we
open our minds to the opinions
of not only our instructors,
but our classmates as well.
As a graduate student, I am
fortunate .enough to be teaching while also taking courses.

Letter to the Editors
In Regards to
Student Dilemmas
Dear Editors,
We want students to know
that the University is committed to helping those who
encounter problems with campus rules and to applying
those rules fairly and humanely. When the situation warrants, we . occasionally help
students by making exceptions
to the rules. Those happy
endings, of course, don't usually make it into the newspapers.
Sometimes there are cases
that cannot be resolved to the
student's satisfaction, no matter how hard we try or how
much we are able to "bend"
the rules. The rules, after all,
are not made to get in the way
of students, but to assure that
the University stays true to
its academic mission, which
is what gives value to our
diplomas.
Although we'd like to be
able to respond fully to the
case that has been discussed
in a recent news story in The
Pride, federal privacy regulations restrain us from doing
so. We can say only that there
is more t o the story than has
been reported. Compromising
the confidence of those who
trust our commitment t o holding their privacy is not an
acceptable alternative to "correcting the record."
Thank you for your consideration.

Common Sense Is Needed: A Response to Several Problems on Campus
By Abelardo Torres
f or The Pride
In the time I've been here,
I've seen some and pardon my
French, whacked-up people who
for some unknown reason don't
realize what they have on of
their shoulders is a head and
inside that is " brain—you know,
a
the thing that helps you, oh I
dunno.. .think? And I'm not just
talking about students either, cuz
I've seen some PhD's do weird
stuff, but that's another article.
Allow me to illustrate some of
my points.
Example number 1: the
library. Any one who has been
trying to study often thinks:
"library!" So you get there and
head upstairs looking for an
empty cubicle and, depending
on the time of day and how
far along the way you are in
the semester, you eventually find
one. But it's only a matter of
minutes before you start to hear
candy wrappers, drinks being
opened and let's not forget whispers. So you pretend to cough. It
all dies down only to be resurrected by loud chewing from someone in a cubicle eating—of all
things—chips! Hello? Common
sense being used? I think not!
So after a while, the bag of
chips run out and you fall to
your knees and thank the lord.
But it's going to take more
than a prayer because there's
a group of god knows what,
friends? Classmates? Group
members? Old acquaintances,
perhaps, who have decided to
have a ^mall conference in the
quiet study area! Oh sure, there's
conference rooms on first floor
of library, but who needs that
when you can go annoy those
in the quiet study area upstairs
trying to, oh I dunno.. .study?
Here's the kicker—cell
phones! You'd think that the
library, of all places, would be a
place where you'd at least have
the brain cells to turn your
cell phone into vibrate mode (if
not o ff) or smart enough as to
put 2 and 2 together and say
uhmm... library?... uhmm.. .cell
phone. *ping!a idea* e Volume
down. But no! Some people
seem to have their cell phones
full blast, because once that thing
goes off, it scares the heck out
of not only the owner but also
the neighbors. Sometimes I think
that if they hadn't integrated
those annoying songs into the
ringers, we could probably use
one of them as the fire alarm.
But enough about library.
Let's walk around the buildings
and their doors, as well as the
hallways and stairs. In a previous
article I read something to the
effect of 'don't use the electric
handicapped door opener' And
in response I'd like to pose a
few simple questions: Have you
worked on campus? If so, have
you ever had to take a box from
your work place to your car?
Have you ever had both of your
hands busy at the same time?
Sure, there's an energy crisis and
you should save electricity but if
your hands are busy and there's
no one t o open the door for you,
then what? Stare at the door and
hope that it reads your mind and
opens by itself? C'mon!
Interestingly enough, there
are some doors that should just be
kept open all the time. Try going
from the dome to the library,
the door just before the narrow
stairs start leading down. What
the heck were they thinking by
installing a door that you pretty
much have to slam your self
against to open it? I'm surprised
a lawsuit hasn't landed on the
letsmakethisplaceahandicappedfriendly committee. I guess your
usage of common sense on this
one is a judgment call. To use
or not to use your hands: that is
the question.
Check out example number
2: Hallways and stairs. Most of
us get to our classroom a few
minutes early and in most cases
have to wait a few more for the
current class to wrap up. While
waiting we often lean against
the wall, read a newspaper, or
open a book. But some people
decide to sit (or as I've seen it,
lay down) and extend their legs
into the middle of the hallway.
You are forced to step over their
feet in a last attempt to not fall
on top of them. Then you get a tti :
tude by this individual because
they fail to get up and pull their
feet together. Most often they
call you "rude."
The most outrageous lack of
common sense is displayed on
the stairs. Perhaps you've experienced it, seen it, done it, or tried
to avoid i t It's when person X
meets person Y and they decide
to catch up on childhood memo-
ries on the stairs. Both individuals are talking and blocking traffic, and they get mad at you
for saying, "excuse me" as if
you were the one causing the
problem.
To wrap up, I'd just like to
ask that you use common sense
before you do anything. Sure, it
shouldn't be a big deal you talking on your cell phone, but it is
when you decide to use it in the
quiet study area in the library.
And of course, there's nothing
wrong with talking and catching
up with old friends you haven't
seen in the last 24 hours, don't
do it in the stairs when fellow
students need to get to classes.
And there's absolutely nothing
wrong with sitting down and
stretching your legs, it's just that
the hallway isn't the best place
for it.
^
By no means would I ask
you not to jump online, go on
a chat channel, play an online
game if you so desire but use
common sense as to not to do it
in the computers in the" library
because people might want to do
research. Just pointing out the
obvious.

Sexual Assault Consciousness Needs to Be Raised

Candidate
Forum Held
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer1
An open forum, held
Thursday and Monday, gave candidates in the ASI elections a
chance to introduce themselves
and field questions from students about campus issues and
ASI's role and involvement in
student life.
One of the topics addressed
was the ASI budget and the
amount of money appropriated
to help subsidize the cost of the
Early Learning Center (ELC).
Incumbent
president
Dean
Manship said the ELC was one
of the ASI's biggest costs* and
addressed questions posed about
the lack of funding for student
clubs.
"It's a difficult situation/'
Manship said. "[The ASI] is a
finalist for a $250,000 grant, and
if we get it, we won't have to
subsidize the ELC at all. If we
don't get.it, we'll have to move
money out of the ELC and the
first place it will go is to student
clubs and groups."
Manship said the ASI budget
is "a confusing document, and
it's a difficult situation. Our only
option to keep everyone happy is
to continue looking for grants."
Several of the candidates
were asked what they could do to
get students involved, and why
they thought apathy was a problem on campus. Dustin Naylor,
running for Undergraduate
Representative, said, "Students
aren't aware of what's available
to them, what programs are
available." Naylor mentioned that
ASI-sponsored events are always
well-publicized, "which is always
a goal for us [ASI]"and that he'd
"like to support the school more,
and get in touch with the school
by meeting new people."
"ASI must go to great lengths
to inform students," said Josh

Heers, the unopposed candidate
for Vice President of Finance.
Vinnie Williams, who is
running for Executive Vice
President, said, "Students don't
know what ASI is doing and they
don't care, but I know everyone
on this campus has; an opinion."
Naylor also brought up the
lack of student housing on campus, which he sees as one of
the reasons for lack of student
involvement.
Williarrfls stressed the importance of getting out there and
"really getting die message
across to students, even if we
have to be outlandish."
Tammy Rodriguez, the unopposed candidate for Corporate
Secretary, said she's "really f rying to institute a monthly newsletter to inform students "
"It's not going to happen
overnight," said Artie Patel, who
is running for the position of
College of Arts and Science
Representative. "Hopefully, we'll
see a lot of improvement next
year."
The candidates were asked to
describe, in one word, the stance
ASI needs to take to improve
student involvement and campus
life. Williams said the ASI needed to be "loud." Naylor said
ASI should be "comfortable."
Patel used the word "accessible,"
and Rodriguez said it should be
"committed."
"We need to envision where
this organization is going to go
in the future," said Manship. "It's
not just a stop and go, but something we really need to carry

Bargaining Process Begins for Faculty

resolution to the contract bargaining."
Diehr commented that, historically and considering the last
contract negotiations, this process will not be without conflict.
Ken Swisher commented that
CSU administration "sincerely
hopes to arrive at a quick and
orderly renewal of the contract
by June 30."
In the event the union and
CSU administration teams do
not come to agreement on a contract by June 30, there could possibly be a declaration of impasse;
meaning that both sides declare
no progress has been made.
After a declaration of impasse,
mediation begins with a state
representative from the Public
Employees Relations Board to
mediate the bargaining process.
At this point, a period of "fact
finding" begins with a team
of three individuals, one from
the CFA team, one from the
CSU administration team, and
one from a neutral party by
mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties
who use the report to come to an
agreement. "If necessary, such
a process would hopefully be
completed by the end of summer or surely by the end of
September," said Diehr.
"If this process doesn't
work," he continued, "then job
actions such as letter writing or
e-mailing campaigns or teachins would begin." CFA hopes
that these actions will get the
attention of the state government
who would then put pressure
on both parties to come to an
agreement.
"It's very early in the process, and mostly what's happening at these early meetings is
agreeing on the itinerary," said

Swisher.
Swisher continued by saying
that, "This process is very normal. This year's contract negotiations are not extraordinary in
any way."
Diehr, on the other hand, felt
that "the issues we are bargaining on this term's contract are of
a greater magnitude than in/past
years. We want to reduce the

proliferation of part-time faculty because having this many
adjuncts means that we have
our faculty doing more work for
less money. Of course this costs
the administration less," continued Diehr, "but adjuncts suffer
because they have no employment assurance! Students also
suffer in terms of quality of their
education."
Swisher explained that the
CSU system administration had
a very different view on the
adjunct policy. "Our main use of
adjuncts is to ensure our ability
to adapt to a changing student

body. We want to be able to
respond to increases pf students
in particular classes, as well
as situations where there are
decreases in enrollment. Having
adjuncts at our disposal allows
us to be more flexible."
Swisher also explained that,
since the economy has improved,
the CSU system is greatly
increasing its level of adjuncts.
"This was something we couldn't
afford to do when the economy
was bad," said Swisher.
In reference to the quality of
teaching provided by adjuncts,
Swisher explained that, "It is
(the administration's) view that
adjuncts have the ability of bringing a new, fresh perspective into
the classroom. For that reason,
we think adjuncts are beneficial
for students."
Swisher said that the
administration's main concern
about the adjunct policy focused
on FERP, the Faculty Early
Retirement Plan. FERP allows
faculty to teach part-time for
half-pay while receiving about
two-thirds of their retirement
money. Swisher said that this
necessitates the hire of "at least
two additional professors to take
their place, and that (FERP) is
a program that administrators
wish to make efficiency changes
to."
Diehr summarized the CFA's
intentions for the bargaining process in renewing their contract
saying, "Overall, we will be trying to reduce the rising student/
faculty ratio as well as the ratio
of students to tenure track faculty, We'll be asking for more tenure track faculty and less adjunct
positions. We want to encourage the administration to bargain in better faith and to reach
early tentative agreements that
can serve to expedite this bargaining process."

Many traditionally printed
newspapers have also developed
online versions. This combination of printed and online edition,
when done well, increases the
newspaper's circulation, advertising and provides a broader range
of services to readers.
For example, the San Diego
Union Tribune has an online edition that is found at http://
www.signonsandiego.com, and not
too surprisingly, The Washington
Post's online edition can be found
at http://www.wasWngt9npost.com.
The student newspaper at SDSU
is The Daily Aztec, and it can be
found at http://www.dailyaztec.com.
The Pride also has an online edition, which can be found at http://
www.csusmpride.com.
Online editions generally do
not mimic their printed counterparts. Not all articles and advertisements make it into the online
edition. The Pride's online edition is no different; not all articles
are found on The Pride's online
version, such as last week's web
site review, and there is very little
advertising on the site.
Other online editions have
features that make it worthwhile
to visit the sites. Some features
may be the newspaper's outstanding reputation, and viewing them
online allows them to be globally accessible. For local papers,
online displays of information
such as traffic, weather and movie
times provide incentives for readers to visit the web site. These features make online edition work.
The Pride Online fails in these
regards.
Also, online editions often
include features that allow for
reader feedback that may not be
found in printed versions, such as
the online surveys found on The
Pride site. Online surveys seem
to be a standard component of
newspapers and magazines web
sites. Online surveys, however,
are worthless from a statistical
point-of-view as there is no way to
tell how the people who take the
surveys are distributed in the general population; and accordingly,
the results are often skewed.
One of the most useful features that can be incorporated into
online newspaper editions is an
archive of past issues. Archived
issues of The Pride are not available on the web site. The site
also has a "search" button, but
it is a broken link, and the "contact" and "about us" links also do
not work. None of the other online
editions of newspapers I mentioned before feature non-functioning hyperlinks. The "LTWR
316/COMM 316" link works;
however, I do not understand why
it is included in the online edition
of the paper, since the link is
only for students in that class and
not for general readers.
The basic design of http://
www.csusmpride.com is logical
and follows the standard formula
for most web sites. The San Diego
Union Tribune uses a similar formula. Basically, both sites consist
of links on the right and left hand
side of the page and a main story
down the center.
The Pride Online is easy to
use, at least the functional parts
of it, mostly because there is
so little information on the web
site. But their online edition also
commits the faux pas of using the
same underlined font and color
for things that are both links and
non-links.
does not compose a useful a rnplimait
to the printed edition because there is
absolutely no reason to visit t te web
site unless you don't pick up a printed
version.

Protest at the Border
Free Trade Area of the Americas
By ZACHARY PUGH
Pride Staff Writer
Protestors and activists
marched through the streets of
Southern California and into
Mexico on Saturday, April 21.
The rally began at Larson Field
in San Diego where protestors
began their march in hopes to
stop the Free Trade Area of
the Americas (FTAA), a proposed expansion of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA).
FTAA would "integrate the
economies of the Western Hemisphere into a single free trade
arrangement," according to the
official FTAA web site (http://
www.alca-ftaa.org), and "barriers to trade and investment will
be progressively eliminated."
Proponents of the FTAA,
such as the Stop the FTAA
Coalition, however, argue that,
"the goal of the FTAA is to
impose the failed NAFTA model
of increased privatization and
deregulation hemisphere-wide.
Imposition of these rules would
empower corporations to constrain governments from setting
standards for public health and
safety ... and enhance corporate control at the expense of
citizens throughout the America's. FTAA would deepen the
negative effects of NAFTA that
we've seen in Canada, Mexico
and the U.S."
Guest speakers for the rally
included Medea Benjamin, a
political activist and U.S. senate
candidate, and Tom Morello, a
guitarist for Rage Against the
Machine.
"We are part of a movement
that is not just around the FTAA,
but stopping the whole corporate globalization agenda," said
Benjamin, co-director of the San
Francisco based human rights
organization, Global Exchange.
Morello told the crowd,
"After looking at the FTAA's predecessor, NAFTA, it only makes
sense to oppose it. NAFTA was
a failure and destroyed the lives
of millions. More people live in
poverty today thanks to NAFTA,
more people are landless and
homeless thanks to NAFTA,
and more people are working
in sweatshops, are uninsured
and are unemployed thanks to
NAFTA."
Although he did not attend
this protest, student Ricardo
Favela, president of the CSUSM
chapter of MEChA (Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan)
said he felt very strongly for
the resistance against the FTAA.
When asked about his personal
opinions on the resistance to
FTAA, Ricardo said that he was
"in agreement with it" and that
that we need "to try to internationalize the struggle and take a
stand across the borders."

Despite gray skies and intermittent drizzle, CSUSM's Environmental Club pulled together
a group of environmentally concerned citizens in its Saturday,
April 28 beach clean up. Over
twenty individuals, including students from Cal State San Marcos,
Palomar College, North County
high schools, local citizens and
their children, arrived at South
Carlsbad State Beach to join in
a 9 a.m. effort to collect garbage
and support the club's efforts to
raise environmental awareness.
Pleased by the turnout, Club
President Alicia Saunders explained
that this was the club's first independent activity in two years. "I

long-time volunteer with f

The club's previous president, Robert Nanninga,
who - ran for Encinitas

Green Party last year,
encouraged the re-chartering of the club after
leaving the university two

Drought Buoy Brings a Menagerie of Entertainment
By M ARC Y RIVERA
Pride Staff Writer
For those looking for a oneof-a-kind performance, look no
further then improvinist group
Drought Buoy. An ensemble of
college instructors, they performed free of charge at
Escondido's California Center for
the Arts, on April 23, at an auditorium filled almost to capacity.
A self-described "performance
a rt" trio, Drought Buoy is comprised of bass player Gunnar
Biggs, poet Brandon Cesmat and
dancer Terry Sprague.
-What makes Drought Buoy
performances so unique is that
they are never performed quite
the same way. Cesmat described
it as a "passion for making something that is new every time."
The impromptu part of the performance also adds a lot of creativity. Attendants were asked
by student helpers to think of
a random word, which was written down on paper and put in
a box. During the performance,
the group took the box, sprawled
out the papers around the stage
and selected a few at random.
The group did an impromptu,
freestyle on the word "flirting,"
about a couple that is flirting
and waiting for their baby to fall
asleep.
Throughout much of the
45-minute performance, Cesmat
talked or sang through song,
Biggs coordinated the music, and
Sprague performed interpretive
dance. The songs that the group
performed ranged from somber
to funny to lively. Biggs played
a surf-like melody on his bass
for the song "California Town"
while Cesmat spoke about the surrounding cities of Valley Center,
Escondido and Vista. The song
"Body Engineering" was about
the design of body parts, which
Sprague interpreted in a playful

the legs and hips were designed

"River Murmurs," the background changed to blue, reflecting a water-like setting. The silhouettes of the group were illuminated in an interesting way,
with shadows of Sprague dancing and Biggs moving his fingers
along the bass.
The song, "Jitters/' was a
crowd-pleaser and was written
from the perspective of a person
who has consumed massive
amounts of coffee. Dancing in
pseudo-African style, Sprague
conveyed the feeling of someone
who has caffeine jitters while
Biggs kept increasing the tempo.
"My favorite part was a song
called 'Jitters,' the dance resembled the jitters," said CSUSM
student John Wiskowsky. When
asked about the whole performance, he said, "it was definite-

that ihost people have to their
performances. He added, "People
like it and have difficulty explaining to their friends and family
what they've just seen." Future
Drought Buoy performances will
take place at Dizzy's and the
Berkeley Watershed Festival.
Salsa Fresca: A CSUSM Student Recipe
* I ts Fresh and I Made It Myself
>
By DANIEL HUEY
Pride Staff Writer
Guests come to our homes
for numbers of reasons: to talk, to
watch sports on TV, and to share
'meals. Be prepared to entertain
with this simple, easy to prepare
and delicious Salsa Fresca.
Be sure to make plenty
because this delicious stuff
doesn't last long once the guests
have tasted a sample. Preparation time is 10 minutes with a
food processor or 20 minutes if
done by hand.
Ingredients:
10 roma or other variety of
tomatoes
1 nice onion — red; white or
yellow
1 bunch of green onions
5 firm, crisp, robust jalapeno
chilies — never use canned
chilies
1 bunch of cilantro
Salt—I prefer margarita salt
but any kind will do
2 juicy limes or ljuicy lemon
White vinegar
Okay, lets get cooking.
Rinse the chilies, tomatoes,
green onion and cilantro. I like
using "Fit" to remove the wax
that is used on these types of
vegetables.
First, dice the tomatoes and
place in serving bowl, a large
one is necessary.
Next, mince half the onion
and chop the green onion and
place in the serving bowl.
Split the jalapeno chilies in
half and remove the seeds and the
white part that holds the seeds.
If you like your salsa very
spicy (nuclear), leave the seeds
and white part in a couple of the
chilies.
Mince the chilies and a good
amount of the cilantro and place
them in the serving bowl.
With a wooden or plastic
spoon, mix all the ingredients —
"salsify" the salsa.
A fter the salsa is mixed,
squeeze on the lime or lemon
juice, lime juice is preferred,
and add about three tablespoons
of the white vinegar—a good
splash—and add salt to taste,
then mix a little more.
If you have the time, give
the ingredients a half an hour
rest in the refrigerator, this will
allow the distinct flavors to meld
together.
Serve Salsa Fresca with tortilla chips as a finger food or as
a condiment with tacos, eggs or
fish.
For a different flavor, try
substituting some diced mango
for part of the tomatoes (mango
salsa is a delightful condiment
for chicken and fish).
Now when guests arrive they
will ask, "Did you make any of
your famous salsa? " Or they may
ask, "How did you make this
delicious salsa?" Shhhhhhh, it's
a secret.
Crocodile D undee in L os Angeles
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels tend to rely on their
forerunning movies to captivate
the
audience.
Although
"Crocodile Dundee in Los
Angeles" is no exception, it is as
funny and as "good as the past
Dundee movies.
Paul Hogan again stars as
Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, a tour
guide from the Australian outback. Mick's longtime girlfriend,
Sue Charlton, is still played by
Linda Kozlowski after 13 years
since the last Crocodile Dundee
movie. In this sequel, Dundee
and Sue have a child together
but are not married. Mick can
hardly tell Sue, "I love you," and
the couple is rarely seen together
which makes their relationship
seem a bit unbelievable.
Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski star
in the third Crocodile Dundee film.
' (Courtesy Photo/www. imdb. com)
Shortly into the film, the
Dundee family travels to Los
Angeles because Sue takes over
a press position. She soon realizes that the man whose position
she takes over was researching a
movie production studio before
he died. While Sue takes over
his research, Mick takes a job
as an animal caretaker, snoops
around Los Angeles and finds
some strange practices taking
place. Like the other movies
before, Mick always seems to
find a way to use his outback
skills to his advantage in fighting
and capturing the "bad guys."
Although this movie was
hilarious, it was dependent on
the ignorance of Mick living the
city life and captivating everyone, including his son's teacher
who has a crush on him. The
movie *also had some spoofs
to keep it interesting such as
the Dundees driving an Isuzu
Outback (in real life Paul Hogan
endorses the Isuzu vehicle).
In order to enjoy a movie
like this, you need to let go of
reason and thought.. "Crocodile
Dundee in Los Angeles" is funny
and entertaining, and that's the
aim of this film. And you never
know, you might walk around
saying, "G'day mate" to everyone f rom now on.
This film is rated PG by the
MPAA for language.

She does not work at the

Her expectations for this

said Rumble. She also runs two

Rumble, who hopes to compete in the triathlon, adds, "It

Steve Scott for a coach." She
believes she can accomplish her
goals and thanks Coach Steve
Scott for being there for her,
"Coach really helps me. He is
someone I can approach, and I
am thankful for his emotional
support."
Rumble began running her
freshman year in high school.
Before she ran, she was a swimmer, which she says, "was very
helpful for running."
Surf and Ski in the J iame Day
By TIM FARMER
Pride Staff Writer
With the ski season coming
to an end, the options for ski
and snowboard locations are also
lessening. As of April 27, Bear
Mountain, Snow Summit and
Snow Valley are all closed for
the season. Locally, Mountain
High is the only remaining resort
still in operation for skiing and
snowboarding. They expect to be
open at least through May 6, so
time is running out. They have
a 12-24" base and have spring
conditions. The runs are pretty
thin with snow, but individuals
can still ride them.
Mammoth, however, doesn't
appear to be closing any time
soon. Although they have spring
conditions, they have a 5-7 foot
snow base and just about every
run is open. The trip can be
rewarding if you are craving to
get that last trip in before the
season is over, and the roads are
completely clear, so it won't take
you forever to get through the
snow.
As for the surf conditions, the
water isn't exactly warm yet. The
terfiperatures have been ranging
from 57-61 degrees, and the wave
conditions have been fair.at best,
but don't let that stop the summer surf urge from creeping into
your blood a little early. The
waves are still fun if you have
a longboard, but they can be a
bit frustrating if you are short
boarding it.

Fonts and Margins:
Do They Really Make a Difference?
By ROLAND ARIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Putting papers off until the
last minute is something of a
standard for students in college.
Staying up until three in the
morning, scrambling for additional sources, and finally printing an essay 15 minutes before
class is nothing new to the average student. Many students can
say that they are guilty of procrastination. But when an academic paper's length is the concern, a common tactic used is
adjusting the fonts and margins.
Throughout my academic
life, professors have always told
me to use a "standard font" and
one-inch margins on all papers.
As all of my papers have always
been in Times New Roman, I
find it disturbing that other people in my class would submit
papers in the ever popular font,
Courier New, that would magically increase the size of their
papers by at least two pages.
While some professors want students to type in Courier New for
certain classes, most professors
state that they want papers submitted in standard font normally
in the size of 10 or 12.
In most academic writing,
professors request and average
of five pages for a regular paper.
While five pages is not a lot to
ask for, many students will take
the short cut of Courier New.
Even when looking at a paper
that is typed in Courier New
compared to a paper typed in
Times New Roman, there are
glaring differences in the size
and appearance of the text. For
students who turn in their papers
iri standard fonts, it can be disturbing to know that other students in their class submitted
papers in a larger font, which is
essentially less writing.
While using Courier New
and other fonts are popular methods of increasing paper length,
another is adjusting the margins.
As the. standard for academic
papers is one inch, changing the
margins even slightly increases
the white space in a paper. Even
as minuscule as changing a oneinch margin to 1.1 seems to
work wonders when typing a
paper 20 minutes before it is
due. Changing the margins of
a paper may increase the paper
length, but just like changing
the font size, it takes away from
more intellectual writing that
could have been in the paper
instead.
Given these tactics and other
ways of trying to make a paper
longer without actually typing
more text and ideas, one must
consider if using these shortcuts
are worth the effort. The tradeoff for using these methods
is including more analysis and
more writing that could only
better a student's paper. The
content of writing, not filling
white space on an essay, should
be the concern in academic writing.

New Bill Introduced: AB 634
AB 634 (Wesson): Five
year-old compulsory education
introduced 2/22/01 "This bill
would lower the compulsory
attendance age for entry into
school from 6 to 5 years of age.
This requirement will apply to all
children, whether their parents
plan to send them to public
school or private school [including private home schools].
Thanks to government "education", i.e. "socialization", i.e.
indoctrination, i.e. demonization of non-conformists (like
those who know government is
the cause of problems rather
than the solution), we'll have
5 year-olds shooting each other.
Those who survive will be even
more disillusioned, bored and
angry than their older siblings.
End the theft, compulsion,
ignorance and irrationality that
are government education, AKA

�College Changes You: Senior Experiences on Spring Break
By JEREMY ZAGARELLA
f or The Pride
College changes you. I had
always been told it but never
believed it until recently. Being a
senior at CSUSM, and with my
graduation quickly approaching,
I have recently been reflecting
on some of the more important
things that I have learned during
my short time of study. As Spring
Break approached I like everyone else I know was imagining
myself lounging around somewhere—anywhere—waiting for
the next hour to pass and trying
to think of anything but school.
While I was getting used to
the idea of just laying around the
house for a week-due to my low
funds—I received a call that some
could only dream of. The phone
rang; I picked it up. It was an
old friend of my brother's whom
I hadn't talked to in years. What
Dave proceeded to ask floored
me. After the expected small talk,
he commenced to ask me if I
would be interested in going on
a trip with him (expenses paid)
during my Spring Break. "Where
to?" I asked. "How does South
America strike you?"
"South America!"
In less than 24 hours from
that phone call, I was on an American Airlines 747 on my way to
Chile thinking this is the stuff
movies are made of. The scoop
was that Dave was taking a whirlwind trip to a remote tribe in
the mountains of southern Chile
in order to drop off needed medical supplies for a humanitarian
organization. Surreal is the only
expression to describe my feelings of disbelief.
Three days into the trip, Dave
and I found ourselves the guests
at a cultural ceremony of the
tribe that we were assisting. I was
better prepared for what was to
come than Dave. Dave had grown
up in a very ethnocentric home
where he had seen very little of
other cultures. He differed from
me in that he saw the South
American tribe we were with as
^others" instead of members of a
unique and varied culture with its
own history and heritage.
For years I have been
involved in varying ethnic/
cultural activities at CSUSM
including helping to organize
Pow-Wows with the Native
American Club, Aztec dancing
festivals, and even some native
African cultural displays that took
place on the campus. The respect
and knowledge of diverse cultures that I have gained through
this experience could never have
been received at another institution. During that Wednesday
morning, I saw the difference in
Dave, who did not have the privi-
lege of a CSUSM education.
As we sat on the far side of a
natural amphitheater in which the
ceremony was* to be held, the
sun was just coming up and the
condensation could be seen emanating from hundreds of mouths
in the gray morning light. The
amphitheater stretched about the
course of a football field, with a
small hill at the base acting as
a backdrop for both sound and
light. As the ceremony began, we
gazed intently. I was getting a
chance so few would ever get.
About 100 women came out dancing a soft and gentle dance while
holding young babies in their
arms. The women wore no coverings at all and neither did the
infants they held. At this instant
I noticed a distinct difference
between Dave and I—it would
be one of many through out the
ceremony. As the women danced
holding the babies, Dave got a
bitflushedin the face and started
to laugh. I asked Dave what was
wrong, and he began to make fun
of the women's nudity. Dave was
unable to look beyond his Westerri-American, social-economic,
culturally constructed taboos to
see the beauty of the women's
dance. Dave's insensitivity only
mounted as the ceremony moved
on.
The women would dance in
a vague circle as the onfookers
sang a gentle melody. One by one
the women began to move toward
a man tied to a horizontal log at
the far end of the amphitheater.
I hadn't noticed the man before
the dance moved his direction in
a lovely beat. Dave finally turned
to me and suggested that he had
seen enough. I could tell he was
disturbed by the natives' comfort
with being seen nude on stage. I
mentioned that his problem was
that he was seeing these people
through his own culture. If I
learned one thing in my two years
of Study, it is the foolishness
of judging any cultural practice
by my own culturally produced
taboos. I encouraged Dave to stay
but he insisted on leaving. Knowing I would be a fool to leave, I
stayed.
It is impossible to explain
the way I felt at that moment,
and sometimes it all feels like a
dream. As theflrstrwomenmoved
toward the man on the log, she
straddled the man and began to
have sex with him while still
holding the infant in her arms.
The act signified an open social
outlook on sex and rebirth that,
while it probably would have
shocked a more uneducated mind,
was refreshing to me. There was
no shame for these women as,
one by one, they all commenced
to straddle the man on the log and
have sex. I was reminded of one
of my professors who had just
weeks ago lectured on different
cultural constructs as it related to
sex. In his lecture he had mentioned how one culture could not
judge another's practice, as all of
our taboos are constructed by our
social and cultural concepts.
I noticed the singing in the
crowd got louder as the first
woman began to dance more and
more enthusiastically lifting the
infant above her head. I was taken
with the sheer grace the dancer's
moves. She moved quickly from
side to side in front of a large
triangular stone and all at once
thrust the infant's head down
upon the point of the rock. One by one the women would execute this rite after dismounting
the man on the log. Of all the ceremonies of the tribe, this was
its most sacred. I thought how
glad I was to have been through
my years of study at CSUSM
before coming on this once-in-alifetime trip. I thought how disturbed Dave would have been had
he stayed for the rest of the ceremony, and how insensitive Americans like Dave could be toward
other cultures. At that moment I
knew what all those people had
meant when they said, "College
changes you."

A re S tudents T hat Lazy?
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
When I was walking out of
my class the other day, I witnessed an act that needs to be
addressed. As I approached the
double doors by the elevators in
University Hall, I reached out
to grab the handle and open
the door. To my amazement, the
doors swung open automatically. I stepped back just in time
to see an able-bodied guy with
. his step-out-of-my-way gait slip
agilely into the hallway.
Please correct me if I'm
wrong, but isn't there a handicap logo on the buttons that
control the automatic doors? I
was just wondering, because I
thought they were provided to
help individuals with different
needs gain easy access to all
areas of the university.

Dianne Hirning, a student in Literature 325, shared her poetry with an
audience of 30 on Tuesday evening (Pride Photo/Nathan Fields)
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Cal State San Marcos students read their poetry at the
Metaphor Cafe last Tuesday evening in an event organized by
Literature and Writing Professor,
Brandon Cesmat. As part of their
mid-term evaluation, seven students read their works produced
in Cesmat's Creative Writing
325 class. Cesmat dubbed the
poets the "Tukwut Poets" using
the indigenous word, "tukwut"
meaning "mountain lion." The
event, which Cesmat has held
almost every semester at the
downtown Escondido cafe for
the past several years, began at
6:30 p.m.
"Tonight we are going to give
these creative writing students
a chance to read their poems
because I tell them that poetry
is one of the genres of art that
should be made with the voice
of the breath," Cesmat began
the event saying. "So let's get
the poetry off of the page and
see how it sounds when it is
accompanied by the sound of
beer bottles clinking and coffee
machines brewing."
Reading their poetry they
had worked on all-semester was
SM Library &
Information Services
Vol VIII No. 25/ Tuesday, April 17,2001
an option given to students in
the LTWR 325 class in lieu of
turning in their mid-term poetry
portfolios the previous Monday.
Student poets walked up on stage
to face an audience of 30.
"It's a really good idea," said
student poetry reader Dianne
Hirning, "it gave us an extra
day to work on our portfolios
and the opportunity to test what
we had written in front of other
people outside of our class."
Dianne Hirning read a poem
based around her recurrent dream
called "Security," and another
about her energetic toddler whose
chocolate-stained
pajamas
explode one night.
Alison King read "Eternity
Shoes," a brief biography of
her favorite footwear. Denaye
Lakotich read both a poem
inspired by Anne Sexton titled
"Do you like me," and another
poem raising the issue of
dysfunctional relationships in
a multi-media world. Tom
Mendendhall read several poems
including "Bakersfield," a long,
narrative poem in which a
woman pines for men's mouths
that do not taste like Skoal.
Mike Doleshal began his
reading with a confession:
"Hello, my name is Michael,
and I am a Star Trek fan." He
then continued to read a satiric
poem in the voice of William
Shatner. Giovanni Ferrer, who,
aside from reading one poem
titled "Concrete Jungle," augmented his second performance
with pre-composed hip-hop
music and a-rap-styled reading.
Kathleen Hash, an alumna of the
325 class, read two short poems
titled "I Want to Be Naked" and
"This World Bites."
Professor Cesmat, who is
a working poet in addition to
teaching literature and writing,
performed "Curiosity Killed the
Cat," a jazz elegy for Joliet
Jakes (a.k.a. John Belushi). In
this piece, Cesmat becomes a
one-man band, providing percussion by slapping his leg and
impersonating a trumpet with
his mouth in between singing
stanzas of poetry. Cesmat sang
a similar poem to the tune of
the John Coltrane song, "Central
Park West."
"I know Brandon from way
back," explained the cafe owner,
Jim Nemish. In reference to
Cesmat's body-music poetry,
Nemish laughed saying, "He did
this 10 years ago on my stage. He
did a whole damned orchestra."
"April is national poetry
month," explained Cesmat, "And
it's really nice of Jim to open up
his space, not only for poets, but
for many artists around North
County."
The Creative Writing course
is offered again in the fall. The
class will be held on Monday
and Wednesdays from 1 to 2:15
p.m.

The annual ASI elections have
been changed from April 24-25 to
May 1-2. The election date change
is due to the CSUSM Job Fair that
will be held at Founders Plaza,
Wednesday, April 25, which is the
same location of the voting polls
and on one of the original election
dates. ' The problem would have

to control the people around the
booths."
Goddard explained that he
and Gezai Berhane, Associate
Director of Student and Residential Life, decided to change the
election dates. Berhane originally
informed the editors of The Pride

24-25. In less than an hour* however, after a discussion between

pushed to later dates, May 1-2.
"Gezai has the authority to
change the dates," said Goddard.
Berhane said he contacted the student newspaper immediately with
the first date change because he
wanted to place an announcement
in the calendar and did not want
to miss the paper's calendar deadline.
The electoral process for the
ASI elections is based on CSU
regulations and Title 5 in CSU's
Educational Code, but there is
flexibility in making final decisions, according to Berhane.
When asked about the recent

will eventually convert all CSU
campuses to the new schedule.
Considered a "normal semester"
by team members, the summer
session, a state-supported program, will lead the three-semester year and will run alongside
CSUSM's Extended Studies program.
The year round schedule
focuses on serving large-enrollment increases at CSUSM and
gives students the opportunity to
obtain their degree much sooner.
The summer course selec-
tion is similar in size to last summer, offering a balance between
general education courses, core
requirements and classes with
large enrollment. Although class
choice is very limited, the team

�For the Love of Toads: The Western Spadefoot Toad a Resident of CSUSM
ByDARCY WALKER
Pride Opinion Editor
The familiar sound of a
continuous, soft croaking will
greet evening campus visitors for
the next several days; at least
until the puddles left by the recent
rains dry up. CSUSM's resident
nocturnal amphibian, the western
spadefoot toad, comQs out in mass
to send up itst amorous serenade
and breed in pools of standing
water. This may be their last
concert of the season. Once
the eggs are fertilized and the
pools disappear for the long, dry
summer, the toads will return to
their underground homes.
Although in some cases the
distinctions are blurry, toads differ from frogs in their body
shape, including shorter legs, less
foot webbing, and fatter—oh,
excuse me—I mean stouter bodies. Whereas frogs revel in water,
toads are land-lovers. Strike that.
Toads, live mostly on land, but
when they want some toad lovin',
they head for puddles and slow
streams. Admittedly less romantic than pond sex sounds, toad
reproduction takes place externally.
These small toads range in
size from about Wi to three inches and are blotchy gray-green in
color, with spots that are more
prominent on the young. Hailing
from genus scaphiopus, and carrying the species name of spea
hammondii thQse critters get their
common name, spadefoot, from
a little spade-shaped, inner back
toe that helps them burrow into
the ground where they spend
most of their lives, according to
Marshall University's herpetology website.
Unlike certain known rainforest frogs, these toadies offer no
hallucinogenic properties from
their body secretions. According
to the U.S. Geological Survey's
Western Ecological Research
Center, the western spadefoot
toad is "easily handled" and has
skin secretions that "smell like

Regarding election notices,
according to Title 5, Article 3,
"The election shall be called by
posting notices in three public
places on the campus at least
two weeks before the election
and by publishing the notice
once a week for two weeks
in the campus newspaper ...
The notice shall set forth the
time and place of the election,
the purpose of the election, the
location of the polls, and the
hours during which the polls
will be open." Berhane and
Goddard made the decision to
change the election dates elev-
en days before elections were to
be held. Now that the election
dates have been pushed back
to May 1-2, they have more
than two weeks to give further
election notices.
Although members from
the League of Women Voters
will assist at the booth during
the election days, the actual
tallying of the scantron votes
will be facilitated by Berhane,
Goddard and other members of
the Election Committee, which
also includes Robin Milch, ASI

passed until January 19. Not left
with much time for planning, the team
decided to use a class schedule relatively the same as last summer. With
long-term goals in mind, .McDuffie
said that the team hopes to achieve a
summer class schedule of 25 percent
to 40 percent of spring and fall coursework, eventually trying to go from the
eight-week sessions to 12- to 15-week
sessions.
There will be only minor changes
in student services. Campus employment for enrolled students will be limited to 20 hours a week. Financial aid
for the summer term is limited, so students who are concerned about available funds should contact the Financial
Aid office about eligibility. Fees for
classes this summer are similar to last
year's, but by next year they will follow
the regular fee structure.
The last day for early registration
is April 20, and the payment deadline
is May 2. For further information,

Diehr, the ratio of part-time lecturer versus tenured, full-time

The FMI pay system is not
the only issue about which CFA is
concerned. According to Diehr,
the expenditure gap has yet to be
resolved. The expenditure gap
is "the difference between state
funding for faculty salaries and
the actual expenditure by the
CSU for that purpose." This
means money allocated for faculty does not always end up
in their paycheck. Currently, as
Diehr explained to the Board of
Trustees, "with the addition of
benefits costs the total expenditure gap approaches an on-going
difference of $100 million."
The CFA cannot determine
where the money is actually
going since CSU refuses to open
their books, as explained in the
CFA Fact-Finding Hearing writeup. Diehr points out that the
CSU Board of Trustees needs to
conduct a thorough examination
of the gap. Furthermore, they
need to "ensure that taxpayer
dollars and student fees collected
and promised for the support
of the primary mission of the
institution - the education of our
students - are actually spent for
that purpose."

"Someone Like You" Charms Audiences
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
From someone who recently
had her heart broken, the new
film "Someone Like You" was a
hilarious antidote. A cynical and
bitter female turns her bitter and
broken heartache into a bizarre
theory that men are just bulls that
have to replace their old cows
with new cows.
Ashley Judd stars in the typical Meg Ryan role, playing Jane
Goodale, a name apparently and
mistakenly intended for one-liners about apes. A modern woman
(in the sense that she blows dust
off of her diaphragm), Jane meets
Ray Brown (Greg Kinnear of
"You've Got Mail"). Life is wonderful and their love is perfect,
with the exception of his girlfriend.
Fulfilling her romantic fantasy life, Jane dismisses all of
the signs that Ray is not so perfect. After he breaks it off with
his other girlfriend, Ray and Jane
plan to move in together. Jane
ends the lease on her apartment
only to find herself dumped by
Ray for his old cow (girlfriend);
the scene leaves faint traces of
"You've Got Mail" on the viewer's
mind. Wanting to know why she
was dumped, Jane investigates
bovine behavior in an attempt
to explain men's bullish moves.
Although her theory is incredibly moronic, her idea works by
depicting the obvious confused
state of modern women.
Enter her despicable roommate and coworker Eddie (Hugh
Jackman of "X-Men"). Although
he charms the audience long
before he charms Jane, Eddie
is brilliant as the macho stud
that really has a heart of gold.
Although Judd is the star, Jackman really makes the film. His
combination of strong acting
skills, amazing good looks, wit
and charm puts him on the top of
my favorite new actors list.
In one of her more clever and
cynical moments, Jane questions
whether the world is worse off
because of men like Ray who
make promises and break them,
or men like Eddie whose only
intention is to get as many women
in his bed as possible. As Eddie
begins to disprove her snap judgment about him and most men, the
film transforms from being a typical "chick-flick" to smartly summing up the confusion and misunderstanding between the two
sexes.
Marisa Tomei ("Untamed

Heart" and "What Women Want")
plays Liz, Jane's sidekick. Only a
few years ago Tomei would have
been the star of such a film, but
times have changed. Sitting in
the theater, I kept thinking how
Tomei would have brought the
role of Jane to life, instead of the
fiat performance given by Judd.
Not to say that Judd was not good,
she just didn't have that indescribable quality that the romantic lead needs to make the audience fall in love with her.

Husbandry," the romantic comedy
provides a wittier, more creative
edge to its plot than most of
its predecessors. Of course, in
the style of every other cookiecutter romantic comedy, "Someone Like You" ends with a kiss.
Although the ending is predictable, it doesn't take away from
the hilarity of the rest of the film.
Tony Goldwyn, who starred
with Judd in 1997's "Kiss the
Girls," directed the romantic comedy. "Someone Like You" is rated
PG-13 by the MPAA.

Clutch lead singer Neil Fallon performs. The band's latest album is
Pure Rock Fury. (Courtesy Photo/Clutch web site)
Pure Rock Fury Brings Back the
H ard Rock Sound of the '80s
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While their style may not
appeal to the masses, for those
rock and roll fans seeking something a little less mainstream,
Clutch may very well fit the
bill. Clutch's latest album Pure
Rock Fury is a powerful combination of heavy guitar riffs
and boisterous vocals that create
a stark, expressive style unlike
most other contemporary rock
bands.
Clutch blends the traditional
rock and roll sound typical of
many late '70s and early '80s
bands such as Black Sabbath
and the ftiore contemporary
Corrosion of Conformity, with
unique vocals that are anything
but traditional. Pure Rock Fury
features primarily hard driving
rock tracks like "Drink to the,
Dead" and "American Sleep,"
occasionally separated by more
funky, bass-guitar-laden tracks
such as "Brazenhead" and "The
Great Outdoors."
One interesting track is
"Careful With That Mic," which
sounds more like a speech put to
music rather than a song. In
this track, lead vocalist Neil
Fallon issues both a verbally
complex put-down to other lyricists and a humorous proclamation of his superior skills in a
catchy, upbeat rhyme combined
with a funky bassline.
Throughout the album,
Fallon creates an unusual lyrical
style by combining slower, more
monotone verses with faster,
more energized verses in which
he belts out lyrics at the top of
his lungs. The unique element
of Fallon's style is the tonguetwisting vocabulary he uses. His
lyrics include words such as
'krnnanixilati^
and "geodesic," words seldom
found in any type of music, let
alone rock and roll.
In addition to the 11 music
tracks featured on the album,
the disc itself is a CD-ROM that
contains an Internet link to ci web
site containing video footage of
one of the concerts of the band.

"Stop talking. Stop talking.
Okay, shut up! This is catechism
so I hope you're all in the right

portrays Sister in "Late Night

"Late Night Catechism" is
nothing like I had anticipated.
The actress, teacher and comedian, Sister, is a one-nun-show
full of laughs and information.
The stage is set as a catechism
classroom where Sister teaches
the basics of the Catholic Church.
The show is very interactive and
sometimes you may get called
upon when you aren't suspecting
it.

"Shear Madness" is the longest running play in America,
according to the "Guinness Book
of World Records," and it's not
hard to see why. This year-round
comedy provides all the fun and
spontaneity you'd find in a lim-
up with an answer." She randomly chose a gentleman and
had him stand up. She asked him
his name and if he was familiar
with the Catholic Church and
then asked him to supervise the
"class" to make sure that everyone tried to find an answer.
Through the first half of the
play, Sister discussed the pros
and cons of certain saints and
decided to eliminate some of
their names from the list of sainthood. She talked of a saint who
went atop a concrete pillar and
lived there for an eternity to be
closer to God. Sister said he was
just lazy so she crossed his name
off the list.
Throughout the play, Sister
asked questions about Catholic
theology and offered little prizes to the individuals who got
the answers right. She offered
Catholic ID cards to winners
and explained to the audience,
"If Brenda [winner] gets hit by
a truck and someone sees this
card before she dies, it says 'I'm
Catholic. In case of emergency,
call a priest.' So they call a priest
and he comes down and says her
last rites and she goes to heaven.
The one problem is if you get
hit by a truck, your purse will
probably be nowhere near you
so you better be good."
The most amazing thing
about Jane Morris is her quick
improvisational skills. One person asked her if women would
ever be priests. Morris joked
that the Pope wrote a newsletter
called the "Papal Bull" about
the issue of women priests and
how some women of the church
organized a committee called
Catholic Organization for
Women, or COW. Then she said
that all the COWs are tired of
the bull.
The show lasted two hours
and although it was a classroom
setting, the time flew by. "Late
Night Catechism" is currently
playing at the California Center
for the Arts in Escondido.
"Shear Madness"
ited-run show.
The play is set in a hair salon
in San Diego, The audience is
carried through a series of comical mishaps in the hair salon, all
the while being treated to bits of
pop-humor, pertaining mostly to
local events and politics. When
a murder is committed in the
apartment above the salon, the
excitement really begins. The
audience becomes part of the
play, trying to help the police
solve the crime. The actor's
improvisational skills are put to
the test from this point on. The
audience was much more forward than I would have expected, one person going so far
as to begin shooting insults at
the characters. The professionals prevail, however, with quick
comebacks that are much fun-
nier than the actual script of
the play. I was impressed by the
energy and enthusiasm of the
actors despite the fact that the
play runs six days a week.
The only shortcoming of
"Shear Madness" is its complete lack of depth. Most comedies that rely on stereotypes
for most of their humor, as
"Shear Madness" does, have
some redeeming moment that
sends the audience away thinking. If you're looking for an
evening of humor and blissful
ignorance, "Shear Madness" is
for you. The play starts at 8
p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays;
5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays;
and 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays.
Tickets cost between $30 and
$35.

Clases insuficientes para estudiantes
Por CAROLE SIELAFF
Existen problemas con el
proceso de la matriculacion en la
Universidad Estatal de California
San Marcos. Muchos estudiantes
no pueden conseguir las clases
que necesitan, ni pueden conseguir las clases a tiempo para
graduarse. Esto se debe a que
muchas de las clases no se ofrecen con regularidad, es decir,
en dias variados o en diferentes
horarios. Este problema esta causando que muchos estudiantes se
queden en CSUSM mas tiempo
del que habian planeado.
En el semestre de primavera
de 2001, hice una encuesta a
treinta estudiantes con respecto
a sus -actitudes del proceso de
la matriculacion en CSUSM. La
mitad de los estudiantes cursan
el primer o el segundo semestre
y la otra mitad son estudiantes
mas avanzados. La encuesta consiste de una serie de preguntas
que cubren desde la disponibilidad de clases hasta sugerencias
de como resolver el problema.
Los resultados son:
71% dijeron que algunas clases que necesitan solamente se ofrecen una vez por
semestre, y el otro 29% no estan
de acuerdo
74% dijeron que algunas clases se ofrecen en el otono
pero no en la primavera, y el
otro 26% no estan de acuerdo
Tambien, 74% dijeron
que les toma mas tiempo de lo
que inicialmente planearon para
graduarse, y el otro 26% no
estan de acuerdo
Hubo algunas preguntas abiertas en el cuestionario. Algunas
respuestas a la pregunta abierta,
"^Como puede CSUSM limitar
los problemas que tu estas teniendo cuando te matriculas?", son:

About Safety & the Weil-Being of Students
By ZACHARY PUGH
Pride Staff Writer
Across the street from the
main campus and slightly
detached from the hustle and
bustle of student life, there is
a structure called the SMACC
building. This building houses
a majof service for the students
of CSUSM: The Student Health
Center (SHC). This service is
dedicated to the students, however, it seems that not many
people take advantage of it.
Despite this, the student health
services fee has increased to
$35 a head per semester, even
though students voted against
the increase.
What is the purpose of the
Student Health Center? According
to Cathy Gremmet, an employee of the SHC, the problems
handled range from "sore throats
to STDs " Gremmet added that
the SHC has "medical military
trained" physicians and specialists. Despite these well-trained
individuals, do many students
really use these services? When
asked about the medical procedures performed, Gremmet said,
that the medical staff treats very
minor situations and that "x-rays
are out of our scope, there is no
orthopedic technician ... we're
not able to set bones, we're here
for the students." Hmmm.
She continued to emphasize
that if the injured student needs
immediate attention, it is very
important to notify 911 or an
emergency contact who can further assist the student With the
exception of the occasional sore
throat that a mother's care can
cure, or a pesky STD that can be
rectified by your local pharmacist and some cream, the availability of more health care avenues should be addressed. Is
the student medical fee going
by the wayside? It seems that
for $35 a semester (starting Fall
2001), the SHC should do a little
more than just cure the common
cold, minor scrape, or a garden
variety STD. Maybe they could
do a little more advertising than
just a point of the finger at
student orientation.
Students, just as an exercise
to sharpen your math skills: multiply the future rate of $35 for
SHC fees that all students pay
by the population of the student
body which is an roughly estimated 6,000 heads. That's $210,000
worth of sore throats and STDS.
What is the protocol for
Campus Security when it comes
to an injured student on campus?
According to Sgt. Peter
Pham of CSUSM Safety Services,
the safety process.when an injury on campus is reported differs
with the severity of the injury.
If it's a minor injury, Campus
Safety will allow the student to
decide what he or she wants to do.
However, if it is a major injury
in question, "they log it in and
dispatch will send aiuofficer to
the site immediately." After an
officer arrives at the scene of
the incident, they will "notify
Student Health Services and the
Environmental Health & Safety
Department," said Sgt. Pham.
When asked about the safety
process after the SHC has closed,
Sgt. Pham said that Campus
Safety officials obtain "immediate medical attention ... roll the
paramedics, every incident is documented in a detailed report."
In light of the SHC services
and safety protocol on campus, it
would benefit the students if the
following took place: possible
extended hours of the SHC to
speed up the process of helping
an injured student, specializing in
more health issues, and using the
fees to promote a more accessible
Student Health Center.

By M ELANIE ADDINGTON

" No one at the University is

a fter t hree y ears of t rying to
resolve a mix-up with h is school

a storm of problems.
N o longer a student at Cal

spent the past three years fighting t o get credit for ten classes
that h e was unable t o complete

1998-1999. W hat he considers

Communications student, shared
h is story not because he hoped
it would get h im his classes, but
because h e wanted to make other
students aware of the problems
t hat arose for h im when t rying t o

Tragedy Strikes
On October 2 6,1998, a fter an
assailant outside of campus raped

commit suicide by j umping f rom
the CSUSM clock tower, landing
at Jauregui's feet. A fter she was

Jauregui said that in t he

A ffairs), N orm Nicholson (Dean

is covered." Jauregui said he
understood this to mean that if
he needed to take time off from
school, he would be accommodated. He also emphasized how
impressed he was that the administrators were so courteous to
them. However, Jauregui thought
that he would b e fine, so he
returned t o classes shortly after
the incident.
The Pressure Builds
In the beginning of November, Jauregui decided to take
President Gonzalez up on his
offer because he said he "was
shaking, breaking out in sweats"
and could not go any further.
Jauregui claims he went to see
Kuchler, who sent him to Martinez, who sent him to, at the time
of the events, Assistant Dean of
Students Mary Wordell to take
incompletes in his classes.
Jauregui emphasized that
Wordell was "very nice, said
how can she help, and was very
nurturing." When he explained
his situation and mentioned that
President Gonzalez had said it
would be taken care of, Jauregui
claims that Wordell said, "That's
not policy." When Jauregui
responded that the withdrawal
policy was in the 1998-99
CSUSM
General
Catalog,
Wordell told him to speak to his
professors to get permission to
take incompletes.
Two of Jauregui's professors
agreed to give him incompletes.
Sociology professor, John Schneider,
did not. According to Jauregui,
Wordell told him that if all the
teachers would not agree, he
would be unable to take any
incompletes for that semester.
According to the General Catalog for 2000-01, an incomplete
grade "signifies that a portion
of required coursework has not
been completed and evaluated in
the prescribed time period due
to unforeseen, but fully justified
reasons and that there is still a
possibility of earning credit. It is
the responsibility of the student
to bring pertinent information to
the instructor and to reach agreement on the means by which the
remaining course requirements
will be satisfied." The catalog
does not state that all teaphers
must agree.
Within a week of his meeting
with Wordell, Jauregui went back
to speak with his professors. Professor Schneider again refused to
give him any incompletes.
During the same week, his
girlfriend had spinal surgery in
order to f use her spine so she
could walk again. "I was a wreck,
crying, praying every day in my
non-religious way to let the poor
girl walk." Jauregui said that he
was so upset over the events
that he gave in and told Wordell
he would take all withdrawals
instead of incompletes on his
transcript. "I didn't have energy

said Segoria.
Segoria explained that
some of the funding for the
sidewalks came from the
Minor Capital Improvement
budget. Twenty to twenty-five percent of this budget serves to fund greater
accessibility in accordance
with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
Some of that ADA funding
was used for the construction of the sidewalks.
The
Minor

Improvement budget and
ADA funding also financed
the power doors on campus. Segoria said that these
accessibility improvements
benefit everyone on campus. "Look who i^ses the
power doors, not just disabled students, but individuals in computing wheeling around computers, faculty, facilities staff, parents

Segoria.

handrails and flat regions
along the sidewalk.
"It was ideally supposed
to be done before the semester began, but on account
of how wet it has been,
there was a bit of a setback," explained Seward.
"It should be completed in
a matter of days." Seward

Second High School Shooting Encourages More Campus Security

Last Thursday, 18-year-old

Jason H offman, opened fire in
f ront of h is school administration
o ffice. H offman wounded f our
students before being shot in the
f ace and b uttocks by Richard
A gundez, Jr., a n ELCajon police
o fficer on campus. T he incident
o ccurred less t han t hree weeks
a fter a student at Santana High
School, six miles away f rom

students and wounded t hirteen
students and f aculty on March 5.
I n a w ritten message t o police
o fficers, H offman admitted that

Barnes. H e blamed B arnes for
t he school's attendance policy
that H offman thought prevented

Granite Hills student who knew
H offman, suspected that he might
have targeted Barnes because "he

H offman had reportedly
attended special education classes in the past due to a learning
disability. Barnes said that he had
directed H offman towards anger
management classes the previous
two years.
O fficer A gundez' presence
on campus was a result of the
high school's increased security
following the Santana incident.
Police officials report that officers
will r emain on area high school
campuses indefinitely. Although
Agundez is considered to b e a hero
by many students, parents and
school officials, he is still under
police investigation in accordance
with t he policy for an o fficer's
involvement in any shooting.
T hursday's shootings were
not f atal, and school and law
e nforcement o fficials say they
w ere more prepared for such
occurrences because of the
Santana High School shootings.
Despite greater awareness and
preparedness, many individuals
c an't help feeling more exposed.
" I feel even more vulnerable t his
time with it happening so close
again, and I 'm sure the students
do, too," said Rich Alderson,
principal at Rancho Buena Vista
High School, as quoted in the
N orth County Times.
G ranite Hills High School
protected its students by using its
newly implemented "lock-down"
program, created a fter t he recent
shootings at Santana High School.
The "lock-down" requires that
students b e locked in classrooms
in case of a violent incident at
the school until a police force
evaluates that the campus is safe.
N orth county high schools
similarly responded to Thursday's
shootings by heightening security
on their campuses to prevent
any immediate "copycat" shootings. Various schools, including
elementary, middle and high
schools, closed t emporarily or
suspended students for m aking
violent threats towards their campus.
Additionally, area school districts are intensifying their violence prevention programs. AH

Thursday's attack." Those options
could include metal detectors, a
stronger police presence, more
guidance counselors and closing
campuses to visitors.
San Diego County District
Attorney Paul P fingst said at a
news conference Friday that "any
threats, whether verbal or written, will b e prosecuted to the
f ull extent of the law." Every
high school in San Diego County
has adopted this "zero-tolerance"
policy.
However not everyone agrees
these measures are the answer.
" I don't t hink we should have
fences because i t'll feel like a
prison," said 16-year-old Granite
Hills HS sophomore April Keifer.
" I j ust t hink we need t o b e more
cautious a bout how we talk t o
people and make more f riends
than enemies."
Carlsbad High School sophomore, Teresa Culchen, though
acknowledging the importance of
"tight security," was concerned
that " the policing of students
might go t oo far." Culchen said
that events like these "might have
happened as a result of k ids not
feeling f ree somehow... and I
t hink a lot of these reactionary
measures might make that feeling worse f or some people."
Robert Paul, an English teacher at Rancho Buena Vista High

a new phenomenon. " Minority

Paul agreed with statements

Latest Update
In a meeting on March 15,
2001, Jauregui asked Vice
President of Student Affairs,
Francine Martinez, for copies of
any documentation regarding his
issue. Martinez sent him a letter
denying his request for paperwork on March 21,2001. Jauregui
states that the letter includes a
statement saying "that Gonzalez
claims to have never visited the
hospital, but is aware that others
have."
Jauregui notes that he "has
several witnesses to his visitation. They can and will testify
that he [Gonzalez] on three occasions made the same comments."
Patty Bailey stayed by her daughter's side the entire time she was
in the hospital and remembers
the day President Gonzalez and
others visited. "I remember he
visited with three ladies right
before my daughter was going
into surgery," said Bailey, "They
were supportive and felt really
bad about everything that had
happened. They offered to help
us with anything that we needed."
President Gonzalez was unavailable to be reached for comment. >
At the meeting between
Martinez arid Jauregui on March
15, Martinez advised Jauregui to
speak with Cherine Heckman of
Enrollment Services. According
to Jauregui, nothing was resolved
at- the March 21meeting with
Heckman, but she promised in
writing that she would perform
"an investigation of classes and
contact [Jauregui] with the information [she] gathers." Heckman
will then provide him with the
options available to him.
As of March 27, Jauregui is
still waiting to find out what
will happen with his class credits. Jauregui is no longer taking
classes at Cal State San Marcos
but continues to work on his case
with the Department of Education
and hopes to find a resolution.

the time Spearling finished her
presentation, several of the listeners said that the issues that she
had spoken on had affected their
lives.
The emphasis of Spearling's
presentation was tolerance. Rather
than being close minded to people
that have different sexual preferences than oneself, she told the
audience to become more aware
of how hurtful a person's words,
actions and attitudes can be, and
how much of an impact they can
have on someone's life.
Spearling also touched on
the prejudices that people have,
not only with LGBTQs, but also
with sorority women, fraternity
men and other minority groups.
Spearling encouraged the listeners
to overcome their fears, attempt
to accept people for who they are,
look past their prejudices, and to
think before they speak.
"We need to be aware of
others around us, and celebrate
their differences," said Spearling.
The Pride Alliance was a

a lack of participation. "It is sad

" This conference gives me

said one student from Cuyamaca
Community College. She hopes
t o t ransfer into a four-year college in Fall of 2001. W hen asked
what she thought about CSUSM
she replied, " The campus is pretty and it is nice to see all the
construction, it means [the campus] is growing."
The
all-day
conference
included- a keynote address by
Sandra McBrayer. Ninety-four
potential students crammed into
r oom 102 of Academic Hall
t o hear McBrayer speak about
the importance of education.
McBrayer holds the position as
the Executive Director of the
Children's Initiative of San Diego
and was the 1994 National
Teacher of the Year. Speaking for
the second year at this event, she
said her message was directed to
those individuals who have the
intention to succeed in education
as well as in their f uture. She
stressed the importance of using
all t he resources necessary to
graduate.
Presentations f rom Student
Support Services and Academic
Advising also demonstrated t o
the visiting students how CSUSM
could help them accomplish their
goals of receiving their degrees.
Lorena Meza, chairperson of
the event and also the Associate
Director of the Educational
Achievement and Retention Services, developed the conference
in 1998. "We saw there was a student need in the'transition process
and so we developed the Building Bridge Partnership with local
community colleges, and now it
has j ust taken o ff," said Meza.
The first year of the conference, fifty-seven students participated; the following year seventy-five students, and this year

viewer's understanding.
"The Mexican" h as several
major
disappointments.
Stereotypes plague the dialogue,
such as the idiot traveler who
doesn't speak a word of Spanish.
The high mortiality rate f rom all
the g unfire was over-kill, and the
audience could care less about
Jerry because of the weak character development in this f ilm.
The movie had its moments, such
as the Vegas scenes and the
relationship between Samantha
and Leroy, but screenwriter J.H.
Wyman should f ind himself a
better editor.
The movie is shot with lots
of close-ups and c areful attention
to background images. Director
Gore Verbinski should b e proud
of the casting; a fter all, Roberts

Liquid American Culture
hopes for "listeners to steer away
f rom popular music." So far, the
local band has h a4 receptive audiences, playing at venues such as
the Bob Marley Festival, Blind

A group of seven musicians,
Liquid American Culture h as
been playing together since last
April.
"Eclectic" is the t erm that the
b and's d rummer, CSUSM stu-
dent Joe Vento, uses to describe
their music.
Vento explained that their
sources of musical i nfluences
include "electronic, j azz, f unk,
Latin, p unk rock and hip-hop."
Liquid American C ulture certainly has traces of these genres
on the f ifteen tracks in its new
CD, In a Life aLive.
The track, "Blind," r eflects
the b and's disdain for A merican
culture. The song includes the lyrics, "And I was lost in w ants and
needs/As are many Superhighway
speed with soul descending/Over
stressed in this city l ife f renzy."
This lyrical style, which can b e
described as f ree f orm, is reminiscent of the b eatnik p oetry of
the 1960s,
Several i nstruments
are
played, such as the keyboards,
d rums, saxophone, upright b ass
and f retless b ass, o ften accompanied b y spoken words. The
saxophone and slow d rumming
give the songs a laid-back, surreal feel.
I f ound t he songs relaxing
and m eaningful. "Thursday," one
of my f avorite songs, is poignant
and provocative. With strong j azz
appeal, t he keyboard notes on the
track sound like a m isty xainfall.
I also liked the track "Restless,"
which f eatures lyrics of a tortured
soul, " I've b een tossing, turning,
g rinding m y t eeth, I c an't get no
sleep, I c an't let you go."
Liquid A merican Culture sold

Student Discovers the Many Uses of the Library
By DI A NNE H IRNING
for The Pride
A s a literature and writing
student, my passion h as always
been books. My view of the library
system was limited; I simply
found the books I needed a nd
checked them out f rom the librarian behind the desk. I assumed
that the sole j ob f unction of the
librarian was to check books in
and out of the library all day.
A fter visiting with Marion Reid,
the Dean of the CSUSM Library,
I was astounded at my own
naivete.
According to Reid, libraries
are no longer limited to providing
books, now they are "information
services." The library collection
and the delivery of those collections become information science
because of t he different formats
involved. Information for one title
may have multiple formats such
as book, audiotape, computer data
or video.
The three most significant
issues related to information services are the budget allotment
between technology and books,
information literacy among chil-
xl-v
dren and adults, and providing to seek i nformation.

"I think it's good to sit down with someone before you turn in your paper and not
just get it back with marks on it," says
David Sahimi after his first tutoring session
at the CSUSM Writing Center. "The tut6r
made me realize different aspects of sentence structure, passive constructions and
how to improve the style of my writing
during the revision process. I thought my
session was very helpful."
The Writing Center, which opened February 19 for this spring semester, supports
the campus-wide writing requirement. Many
students have been making appointments at
the center for 30-minute sessions to get help
for their writing projects.
A friend had advised Biology major Natalie Voehl to visit the Writing Center. "I had
a wonderful experience. I needed someone
else to look at my writing and point things
put," says Voehl. "It's nice to have another
set of eyes look at my paper. I am not an
English major and the grammar check on
my computer can only do so much. The tutor
pointed out reyision tricks that I know will
strengthen my paper and improve the final
grade. I will be back "
The tutors at the Writing Center are
adept at helping students who may not know
where to begin with their writing projects.
Rachel Acfalle says that, "The tutors are
very helpful during the brainstorming phase.
They helped me with the analysis of the
theme for my assignment. I think the most
important thing is the personal attention you
get at the Writing Center. Now I realize I am
not alone during the writing process. And
it's good to have my writing looked at by
someone who is not my instructor,"
- , The Writing Center also encourages stu-
dents whose primary language is not English to make appointments. Oliva Chavez, an
ESL (English as a Second Language) student working on a sociology paper at the
center says, "If there were no writing center
I might be failing. The tutor helped to revise
my paper. He helped me with vocabulary,
analysis, grammar and syntax. I couldn't do
it by myself. The tutors are friendly and
helpful. They make me feel welcome. My
visits to the Writing Center have been very
positive and the tutors help me become a
better writer, and that's the basic thing. I
have to come more often."
The tutors can also help students with
writer's block. Robyn Tucknott, a GEW student and steady visitor to the Writing Center,
says she had w riters block before she came
to the writing center. Now she says that
has changed. "It's good and relieves writer's block. I got to bounce ideas with my
tutor and I don't feel like I'm alone iri the
writing process," said Tucknott. She adds,
"Sometimes, it feels like a drag to go to the
appointment, but after the tutoring session,
you realize you got a lot done. The tutor
helped me expand my own thoughts about
the assignment and also helped me with the
revision process—helped me move things
around to strengthen my paper. The tutors
know the ins and outs of the revision process
and know how to help you get started."
Angela LuMaye, a GEW student, says
that the variety of instruction provided by
the tutors is important. "The tutors are helpful. Every tutor I've had so far has helped me
in different ways than the other tutors I've
seen. I find my tutoring sessions at the Writing Center very helpful because there are a
lot of little questions I have about my writing and the tutors help answer those questions. It has been a really helpful experience."

Runners Face a Variety of
Challenges O ff the Field
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride S taff Writer
Most Saturdays, Cal State
San Marcos athletes leave early
in t he m orning and come back
late at night, a fter competing in
long, intensive races. T he track
and field t eam practices every
day, Monday t hru Thursday at
3 p.m. and Friday at 12:30 p.m.
Saturdays a re race days a na Sundays they have recovery,runs at
their own times. In addition to
r unning and attending school to
become f uture sports broadcasters, teachers and coaches, many
of these student-athletes work.
However these are the sacrifices that these athletes must
m ake everyday. One of the many
challenges they deal with is the
shortage of facilities on campus.
"We have t o change in Craven
and people look at u s as if w e're
weird," said sophomore Anthony
Blacksher.
"We have t o u se it as a locker
room, since i t's closer t o the
t rack," added sophomore Vanta
Morrow, "It m akes those who see
u s u ncomfortable and we also
feel uncomfortable."
A possible solution t o the
lack of athletic facilities on
campus is t he Clarke Field
House scheduled f or completion
in 2004. Although most of these
(Top) Leslie Akers and Coach Keating

athletes will graduate before that
time, Assistant Track Coach Wes
Williams Jr. said, " The Clark
Field House will be a result of
the success of the kids we have
here."
According to Head Coach
Steve Scott, "One of the problems we face when we travel
long distances is transportation.
Although some athletes can
drive themselves, when we t ry t o
f eed fifty athletes in the school
vans we j ust c an't, there are
not enough. There is a big risk
factor, since sometimes we have
to rent a b us or find other ways to
get there. Overall, we invest a lot
of money in transportation."
Aside from the challenges
the track and field teams must
overcome, Coach Scott said,
"These challenges do not interfere with our eagerness to go out
there and win."
Although the athletics program is young and challenging,
some of the r unners found this
beneficial. "It is nice t o b e p art
of this team because coaches
pay more attention to athletes.
Since CSUSM has a small team
compared to other schools, there
is more interaction among t he
athletes and coaches, which is
always good f or the athletes,"

By TIM WISE
I can think of no other way
to say this, so here goes: white
people need to pull our heads out
of our collective ass.
Two more white children are
dead and thirteen are injured,
and another "nice" community is
scratching its blonde head, utterly perplexed at how a school
shooting the likes of the one
yesterday in Santee, California
could happen. A fter all, as the
Mayor of the town said in an
interview with CNN: "We're a
solid town, a good town, with
good kids, a good church-going
town an Ail-American town."
Yeah, well maybe that's the problem.
I said this a fter Columbine
and no one listened so I 'll say
it again: white people live in an
utter state of self-delusion. We
think danger is black, brown and
poor, and if we can j ust move
f ar enough away f rom "those
people" in the cities w e'll b e
safe. If w e can just f ind an "AllAmerican" town, life will b e better, because "things like t his j ust
doia't happen here."
Well bullshit on that. In case
you hadn't noticed, "here" is
about the only place these kinds
of things d o happen. Oh sure,
there is plenty of violende in
urban communities and schools.
But mass murder; wholesale
slaughter; take-a-gun-and-seehow-many-you can-kill kinda
plishments, but they weren't
uncommon. Unions have been
started throughout history^ and
we don't make a big deal about it.
We don't celebrate Jimmy H offa
day, so what's so important about
Chavez that we would place him
above Washington and Lincoln?
The difference with Chavez
is his ethnicity. Because he was
Hispanic many have raised him
up to the status of a saint. He
is an icon* portrayed as a strong,
peace-loving man. Try questioning this and you're liable to start a
riot.
In case you haven't noticed,
he seems to be the patron saint
of our small school. It's sacrilegious to speak ill of him here,
and his granddaughter almost
received a scholarship based on
who her grandfather was. His
bronzed image adorns our campus, students are staging a candlelight vigil on Wednesday, and
some of our teachers have, put
together a "lesson plan" t o teach
us about h is life. Perhaps CSUSM
should be changed to CSCC - Cal
State Cesar Chavez.
It's sad, and patronizing even,
that we base greatness on ethnicity. If Chavez had been a white
union leader we wouldn't bat an
eyelash at him. But because he
was Hispanic and he did something many others have done
before, we celebrate him. The bar
of greatness should be set at the
same height for everyone - white,
black or Hispanic.
This kind of politically correct holiday making also cheap-
ens the greatness of past leaders.
What does it mean when an average accomplishment is put on the
same scale as something great?
Or when the great accomplishment isn't included at all?
Consider that we celebrate
Martin Luther King, Jrf every
January. King was a great man.
We don't celebrate him because
he was black, but because he
changed our society and the way
we view ourselves. He did something beyond average - something that was never done before
- and he changed the country.
That is evidenced by how many
people in this nation are able
to quote him, and remember his
leadership. He is a national hero.
You can't say the same for
Chavez - he shrinks in the shadow of King. Ask people living in
Minnesota what they know about
Cesar Chavez and the answer
will be nothing. Kermit the Frog
has made more of an impact on
their lives.
Of course, Chavez is a hero
to the California f arming community, and if our state wants
to have a holiday in his honor,
f ine. But it's a stretch to put his
contribution over Washington's
and Lincoln's, and it's a disgrace
that we don't mark these men
when such hoopla is made of
Chavez.
If we are going to celebrate
Chavez, and have h is image plastered everywhere, then we should
do the same for the truly great
Americans like Washington and
Lincoln. It would do us well to celebrate Washington and Lincoln,
to realize their impact on the
world, and their contribution t o
our way of life. A fter all, without
their efforts Chavez would not
have enjoyed the freedom to start
his union and stand for California
f arm workers.
School Shootings and W hite Denial
craziness seems made for those
safe places: the white suburbs or
rural communities.
And yet once again, we hear
the FBI insist there is no "profile" of a school shooter. Come
again? White boy a fter white boy
a fter white boy, with very few
exceptions to that rule (and none
in the mass shooting category),
decides to use their classmates
for target practice, and yet there
is no profile? Imagine if all these
killers had been black: would
we still hesitate to put a racial face
on the perpetrators? Doubtful.
Indeed, if any black child
in America—especially in the
mostly white suburbs of Littleton,
or Santee—were to openly discuss their plans to murder fellow
students, as happened both at
Columbine and now Santana
High, you can bet your ass that
somebody would have turned
them in, and the cops would have
beat a path t o their doorstep.
But when whites discuss their
murderous intentions, our stereotypes of what danger looks
like cause us t o ignore it—they're
j ust " talking" and won't really do
anything. How many kids have
to die before we rethink that nonsense? How many dazed and confused parents, mayors and sheriffs do we have to listen to,
describing how "normal" and safe
their community is, and how they
j ust can't understand what went
wrong?
I 'll tell you what went wrong
and it's not TV, rap music, video
games or a lack of prayer in
school. What went wrong is
that white Americans decided
t o ignore dysfunction and violence when it only affected other
communities, and thereby blinded themselves to the inevitable
creeping of chaos which never
remains isolated too long. What
affects the urban "ghetto" today
will be coming to a Wal-Mart near
you tomorrow, and unless you
address the emptiness, pain, isolation and lack of hope felt by
children of color and the poor,
then don't be shocked when the
support systems aren't there for
your kids either.
What went wrong is that we
allowed ourselves to be lulled
into a false sense of security by
media representations of crime
and violence that portray both
as the province of those who
are anything but white like us.
We ignore the warning signs,
because in our minds the warning signs don't live in our neigh-
borhood, but across town, in that
place where we lock our car
doors on the rare occasion we
have t o drive there. That false
sense of security—the result of
racist and classist stereotypes—
then gets people killed. And still
we act amazed.
But listen up my fellow white
Americans: your children are no
better, no nicer, no more moral,
no more decent than anyone

�San Marcos Experience Upheld
Kent Hess for The Pride
What is the San Marcos
Experience? A quick read through
the mission statement found on
the CSUSM website reveals that
the creation of an academic community dedicated to excellence is
a lofty goal. A goal that easily
could be dismissed as a cliche,
were it not for the combined effort
of people united in vision.
As a transfer student I viewed
the university's state of the art,
NCAA certified track and soccer
field, and its price tag of 1.6 million, as superfluous spending that
ought to have gone toward the
construction of the new library. It
was a sentiment, I might add, that
is shared by many of my classmates. I remember that during
student orientation the student
L representative (mis)informed us
that the reason we didn't have a
library was due to a referendum.
According to him, the student
body voted to push the construction of the track ahead of
the library. As a fledgling report-
er who understands that everyone loves a scandal, it was with
this unsubstantiated claim that
I decided to investigate into
the apparent misappropriation of
funds needed for the fulfillment
of my San Marcos Experience.
A fter interviewing several
people about
the track vs.
library situation, I quickly
(and
humbly) realized
two
things: (1)
there
has
never been a
c o n f 1 i c tf
between the two building projects, (2) in no way has the
CSUSM mission statement been
betrayed by apathetic administrators. The fact of the matter is
that the track and the new library
are essential (i.e. mind and body)
components of the San Marcos
Experience. Though it is easy to
see how the two can be confused
and pitted against each other in
a battle of priorities, the two are
linked only in the holistic sense.
The track/sports program was
not state f unded/ All salaries for
coaches, equipment, and the track
itself came from generous donations and diligent fund raising.

else. Dysfunction is all around
you, whether you choose to recognize it or not.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, and Department
of Health and Human Services,
it is your children, and not those
of the urban ghetto, „ wl%o are
most likely to use drugs. That's
right: white high school students
are seven times more likely than
blacks to have used cocaine; eight
times more likely to have smoked
crack; ten times more likely to
have used LSD and seven times
more likely to have used heroin.
In fact, there are more white
high school students who have
used crystal methamphetamine
(the most addictive drug on the
streets) than there are black students who smoke cigarettes.
What's more, white youth
ages 12-17 are more likely to
sell drugs: 34% more likely, in
fact than their black counterparts.
And it is white youth who are
twice as likely to binge drink,
and nearly twice as likely as
blacks to drive drunk. And white
males are twice as likely to bring
a weapon to school as are black
males.
And yet I would bet a valued
body part that there aren't 100
white
people
in
Santee,
California, or most any other
"nice" community who have ever
heard a single one of the statistics above. Even though they
were collected by government
agencies using these folks' tax
money for the purpose. Because
the media doesn't report on white
dysfunction.
A few years ago, U.S. News
ran a story entitled: "A Shocking
Look at Blacks and Crime." Yet
never have they or any other news
outlet discussed the "shocking"
whiteness of these shoot-em-ups.
Indeed, every time m^dia commentators discuss the similarities
in these crimes they mention that
the shooters were boys, they were
loners, they got picked on, but
never do they seem to notice
a certain highly visible melanin
deficiency. Color-blind, I guess.
White-blind i s more like it,
as I figure these folks would spot
color mighty damn quick were
some of it to stroll into their
community. Santee's whiteness
is so taken for granted by its
residents that the Mayor, in that
CNN interview, thought nothing
of saying on the one hand that
the town was 82 percent white,
but on the other hand that "this is
America." Well that isn't
America, ; and it especially isn't
California, where whites are only
half of the population. This is
a town that is removed from
America, and yet its Mayor thinks
they are the normal ones—-so
much so that when asked about
racial diversity, he replied that
there weren't many of different
"ethni-tis-tities." Not a word. Not
even close.
I'd like to think that after this
one, people would wake up. Take
note. Rethink their stereotypes of
who the dangerous ones are. But
deep down, I know better. The
folks hitting the snooze button
on this none-too-subtle alarm are
my own people, after all, and
I know their blindness like the
back of my hand.

Letter to the Editors
The library, on the other
hand, has run a rockier course.
The first obstacle came in 1992
when a bond measure was sent
out to the California voters concerning the construction of future
projects. The new library (worth
$49 million) was just one of
m any projects projposed in the measure. It unfortunately lacked voter support, and thus failed.
In 1994 it met with
the same disappointment.
Since then the
temporary library in
Craven hall has
taken many steps including the
purchasing of online journals and
academic publications in order to
meet the growing need of students
and faculty. During these years
the administration was incessant
in their lobbying for the new
library despite comments from
the Chancellor and legislative
offices negating the need for a
library in its traditional sense.
collectively was, student involvement was needed to achieve the
needed goal. Hence, a vote was
put before the students concerning the track, however it had
nothing to do with the library.
The referendum (circa 1998),
which passed with an overwhelming majority, was to increase student fees in order to support the
CSUSM sports program.
funnels down from the corners
to the narrowness of the sidewalk. It reminds me of how
fences narrow to a walkway
and plank for loading cattle
into trucks to ship them off to
slaughter. This serves as an
excellent reminder of the fact
that CSUSM students are mindless sheep in need of the protection of CSUSM's benevolent
administrators.
Thank you,
David Ludwig
Such idealistic remarks concerning "the library of the future" (or
in other words, everything being
available online) were quickly
dismissed by the CSUSM administration as unacceptable.
Thanks to their tenacity, and
a generous donation of two million dollars by Keith and Jean
Kellog, the vision of a functional
library to compliment the San
Marcos Experience was never
lost. 1998 brought the passing
of a bond measure that provided
monies for the construction of the
library and other projects on this
and other campuses, although the
money wasn't turned over until
the year 2000. The construction
of the library is set to break
ground right after graduation this
spring and will be completed in
2003.
Though I may never step
foot in the building and benefit
from its incredible technological
design, I find consolation in
knowing that at no point were my
educational expectations higher
than those of the administration.

Well, now that I thought
about it, maybe the best w ay to
reach my goals is to compromise
with you on your goals. Through
understanding, education, compassion and communication we
can meet at a place where
we both take a step forward

. . . Nah, forget it. It's much easier my way. I am right - you are
wrong.
Often we are so blinded by
our own values, morals, and
social perspective that we fail to
see another's point of view clearly. More importantly, we may
become so wrapped up in our
cause that we often fail to see
where we truly stand. We can
become so devoted to a cause
or idea that we do not realize
that we have become extreme
in our thinking. We slowly turn
into "Extremist Bastards" without knowing about it.
For many years, I failed
to see^things clearly because I
"knew" that "I was right." Only
after carefully considering my
perspective did I truly understand that I was building walls
instead of bridges. It is tempting
to return to that line of thinking,
because requires much less work
to see things from only one
angle. I now ask you to carefully
consider your perspective- Are
you extremist in your thoughts
or actions?

B Y LODIA O RAMAS
CSXJSM s tudents now have access
to a greater variety of programs to help
them cope with college, t hanks to a
three-way partnership.
The Academic Support Program for
Intellectual Rewards and Enhancement
(ASPIRE) recently teamed up with College of Arts and Sciences and the Center for Student Involvement to offer The
College Success Workshop, a series of
programs targeting special problems
students encounter throughout the academic school year.
Upcoming workshops include one on
how t o conduct r esearch, March 19
from 1 to 2 PM; one on time management, April 1 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. by
Carlene Smith; and one on goal-setting
April 13 from 10 to 11:30 AM. There will
other workshops in May. The workshops series is "designed to increase student participation and involvement in
university-sponsored events," said Alex
Cuatok, ASPIRE coordinator.
The workshops are designed to help
students improve their skills in study,
leadershig a^d^est^preparatipn, as.well*
as how to use the university's resources.
ASPIRE has 20 tutors actively involved
in helping students, along with personnel from various university academic
programs. The workshops are free. To

It's the Writing Center, tucked into

Technically, it's room number is

m aybe able to wave goodbye to the expensive Praxis and SSAT tests for admission in t he c redential p rogram,
thanks to CSUSM's waiver program.
Last summer, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing accredited CSUSM's Single Subject Preparation Program in English.
The program prepares students for
the one-year credential program by offering combinations of courses that in
essence replace the tests.
The Praxis and the SSAT are twohour tests, costing $200 each. Susie Lan
Cassel, coordinator of the Single Subject Preparation Program in English,
described them as "incredibly difficult."
Indeed, last October, 49 percent of the
students who took the SSAT failed.
The preparation program is divided
into three phases. First, all waiver students must complete the core classes.
Second, similar to the bachelor's degree
program, students choose an emphasis
either in writing or literature.
They must complete 15 units from
that emphasis with a minimum GPA of
2.7 in all waiver classes. Third, a portfolio documenting a student's academic
growth must be compiled at the end of
the program.
The program is approximately 15
units more than the baqhelors degree,

unlike the bachelor's program, junior

classes are completed, students are eligible to apply to the credential program.

nors for additional projects, h e said.
After developing the recreation field,
CSUSM could initiate soccer, golf, and
track and field programs, helping t o
lead to eventual membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA), Gonzalez said a t t he t ime.
Lynch said defeat of the proposal would
show t he community "we d on't care
about having recreation facilities."
Since student fees will be reduced by
5 percent next year, she added, students
would pay about $5 less than this year
even if the $35 increase is approved.
CSUSM students already enjoy the
lowest tuition and AS fees in the statewide system, Faltaous said. Gonzalez
told the North County Times previously
that an anonymous donor offered the
university $150,000 to start the project
two years ago. Since that time, $50,000
has been spent on studies to determine
the cost of t he project, estimated at
about $1 million, he adcled.
Faltaous said he hopes students will
support the proposal not just because
a recreation center is needed, but also
because a viable sports program might
help to decrease the apathy many students have for the university in general.
While the academic life on campus is
extraordinary, he added; development
of more clubs, organizations and student g overnment is d efinitely still
needed. "Students need to realize they
belong to the campus and the campus
belongs to them," he added.
The fee increase proposal has generated mixed feelings on campus, however.
AS Secretary Erik Dawson said he
probably would not s upport it as it
stands because AS would not have control over the account. "Since students
would ultimately pay for the recreation
facility, s tudents shquld control t he
funds," he added.
Dawson pointed out that AS and the
University Foundation have differed in
the past on a few key issues, including
the perceived monopolies held by Duplication Services and Aztec Shops on
campus.
Student control of the athletic account, he argued, "would give the AS
more cards to play with when we sit
down and negotiate something."
Dawson also said he would not support the proposal without some form of
t ermination clause, a dding t hat h e
would h ate to see the fee still in place
20 years from now, with generated revenue going toward such things as watering grass on campus.
Lynch said students could vote out
the $35 increase after six years. Several
students said they liked the proposal.
Daniel Huey, a transfer student from
Mira Costa Community College, said he
would support the increase, adding, "In
college, there's a time for study and a
time for other recreation.
A track would be a place to exercise
the body, not just the mind."
Huey said h e t hought t he track
would be good for the community in
general, and would give parents somewhere to take their children that didn't
cost money.
Though junior Zuri Williams conceded that "we need some sort of athletic (facility) on campus," she said she
wouldn't support the mandatory fee.
It would be better, she added, to raise.
the funds through donations. One senior said she thought the idea of a new
t rack a nd f ield s ounded g reat, b ut
a§ked, "Why is it coming out of t he
student's pocket? I don't think students
need to be burdened with more fees."
Brittney Leavitt, a 16-year-old San
Marcos High School student who intends to enter CSUSM after graduation,
said she would support the proposed fee
as a university student. "I think it would
get t he school m ore involved," s he
added. "I would use it."

B Y JAMES GATES
Finding parking on campus is
no f un. But getting a parking
ticket is even less f un.
But that's,what may be in
store for a number of students.
CSUSM's Parking Services h as
laid down t he law: There is n o
"grace period" for parking violations.
Some 165 students got that
message the hard way, by being issued tickets i n t he f irst
two weeks of classes, 110 in the
f irst week, 75 in t he second.
T hat's a p er^week r ate of

Parking coordinator Dora
K noblock c ited " continued
abuse" as the reason for the nononsense approach and added,
"This is not an exception, it will
be the rule."
Half of those ticketed had
n ot d isplayed .valid p arking
permits. "If (ticketing) gets students to purchase parking permits", s aid Knoblock, " then
what we are doing is working."
The other half, with permits,
simply were parked in u nau-
thorized places or lots. When
asked if such tickets is a symptom of t he problem or t he solution, Knoblock paused a nd
replied, "I'm inclined to say it's
a solution."
Parking tickets cost the recipients $20. A late payment,
after 21 days, adds another $10.
A p arking p ermit costs $54.
Checks (made out t o "CSUSM
parking") are acceptable payment.

Faltaous urged students to

Dot.Comm comes to town
B Y LODIA ORAMAS
How many times have you had a complaint about a program or a club not being available at CSUSM? How many times have you done something about it?
One communications major, Quito Washington did do something. His thoughts and
concerns about the communications program at CSUSM led to action, the formation of
a new club called Dot. Comm. He's present secretary of the newest group on campus to
liave a voice.
President Brian Frye, who also is majoring in communications, and Washington
thought the name Dot. Comm. would fit the club perfectly. Both are also specialists in
utilizing the Internet.
The club will have its next meeting on March 6.
Dot. Comm., which Frye says has 60 people "already interested," was organized in
the middle of the fall semester. Its goals include focus groups in which small groups can
target an area of interest, a book-share program, internships, scholarships and networking with San Diego State University's Communications Club.
Frye and Washington shared the sentiment that communications majors virtually were
without a voice on campus. As one junior put it, "CSUSM just doesn't offer very much to
communication majors."
Dot. Comm. seeks to change that.
Fiye said the club is looking for members, particularly ones interested in serving on
its various committees. Interested students can visit Dot. Commas web site at
WWW.csusm.edu/puhlic/dotcomm.

religious, and I asked Kennedy if B, in

"We all need something t o

a nd t he other images in t he b asement

"Once I saw a big-headed boy

Still in his teens, he won a silver

" Breaking t he S urface,"
Louganis traced his rise to diving stardom, an ascent filled
with several obstacles.
He was taunted by schoolmates because of his brown skin
(he was put up for adoption by
his biological mother, a Caucasian, and Samoan father) and
dyslexia which went unnoticed
until his teens. He grew up with
an abusive father, battled substance-abuse p roblems, a ttempted suicide and eventually

expensive and complicated new
AIDS treatments as well as returning to old habits that would
interfere with his HIV.
But t here are lighter moments, too. Much of the last few
years has seen Louganis traveling cross-country speaking on
college campuses and appearing
at countless book signings. Another highlight is a video diary
of Louganis achieving a recent
goal: completing the 1997 California AIDS Ride, a 500-mile
plus bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Like other documentaries of
its genre, the video takes an unflinching look at a man still
coming to terms with his evolution into a role modeLforth$
gay and HIV/AIDS communities. "I'm not comfortable being seen as a role model. I don't

Louganis. "Everybody is human

Their goal is f or t he
Breakers to join the San Diego
County Soccer League by the
time main season competition
begins next October. The team
also plans to play in the Black
M ountain 7 on 7 s ummer
league and possibly ongoing
indoor play at Folsom's sports
facility in North Park.
" We're o pen t o gay
male players of all skill levels,"
said Sieben. "All ages are eligible, and experience is not
necessarily required. Willingness to play and a good attitude
are what's important."
M ore e xperienced
skilled players looking for a serious competitive team will be
referred to the Sparks.
Initially, the Breakers
is soliciting players for its 18man roster. "If there are more
people interested, we wouldn't
turn them away. Anyone is welcome to come to practice and
other club social get4ogethers,"
Sieben said, noting t hat first
practice is at 6 p.m. on March
9.
The B reakers would
complement the Sparks, which
recently announced plans to
become more competitive. "We
hope both teams will benefit
f rom our recruiting efforts,"
said Sieben.
He e xplained t hat,
"Well differ from them in that
our playing time will be preferentially f or gay guys, a nd
t here will b e more equitable

While anyone may attend practice, those who are
selected for the team roster will
pay monthly dues, although
the amount hasn't been determined, Sieben added. Baril and
Sieben say they plan to secure
a lit practice field.

The Mountain High Compromise
B Y D AN LA BELLE
Sure, you'd like t o head t o Mammoth
Mountain this weekend. Every skier/
snowboarder would.
Carving t he first tracks through fresh
powder is t he highlight of any winter
season. •
i But what if you only have a da3Ktb'&kii:
>
o fride? You knbw t he situation: test on
Monday in history^ p resentation in literature
on Tuesday, and
so o n. But you
still want to experience t he
snow.
In that case, local mountains are your
only choice. And when you think local
mountains Big Bear immediately comes
to mind. But t hat might not b e the best
choice.
Mountain High is located about 2"
h ours n orth o n I nterstate 15 i n
Wrightwood in t he San B ernardino
N ational F orest. C omprised of two
separate resorts, an east and west, it
offers varied terrain for both beginner
and advanced skiers/snowboarders.
The west resort has long and widegroomed trails serviced by a high-speed,
quad chairlift. It is the most popular of
the two resorts for skiers because of its
wide and clean runs.
The east resort features Fault Line, a
full-sized, snowboard terrain park with
a series of man-made launches and a
good-sized half pipe for both beginning
and advanced riders.
But what makes Mountain High a
good day-trip choice is t hat it requires
no mountain driving. That's right, no
winding roads. While the slopes t hemselves are snow-covered, the roads are
usually not.
This convenience comes at a cost,
t hough. "Most of t he snow is m anmade. It doesn't have the same feel as
real powder," says Chris Sorensen, an
avid skier for 14 years.
Adds intermediate snowboarder Josh
Waters, "The slopes are crowded on the
weekends. Sometimes they even sell out
of rental equipment."
At $35 for an
eight-hour l ift
ticket, it's not
t he best value
either.
*
However, Mountain High's closeness
can make the difference between ^ et-
r
Flicks
f rom p a g e 9
ting to t he slopes and staying home,
especially in the middle of a semester.
You can avoid the crowds by showing u p early. The resorts open at 8 a.m.
daily. Arriving early also will guarantee
that you can rent whatever equipment
you need.
An a lternative would b e t o visit
Mountain High at night when it is less
crowded. The east resort offers night
skiing on 75 percent of its runs, including all of the Fault Line terrain park.
It may not be what winter vacation
d reams a re m ade of. But M ountain
High is a compromise between that sixpage research paper due on a Monday
and having a little winter f un.
as any teenager does however, as with
t he characters in Drugstore Cowboy,
Dr. Curry points out, "These are people
o ur society, h as d eemed d ifficult t o
love, difficult to care a bout.. . a film
director can get an audience to take a
look at these folks and spark a germ
inside of us t hat says, 'I feel compassion here', 1 can love the most unlovable".
River's Edge will certainly spark some
serious conversation regarding difficult decisions and the people we love.
Discussing two of h er favorite films
arid their appeal, Dr. Curry posed a
v ery r eal arid r eflective q uestion,
"What about those among us that are
so difficult to love?
What happens if through art,
you can find a speck of yourself inside
these people, can you then see something human, a connection to humanity?" Both D rugstore Cowboy a nd
R iver's Edge will p rovide f ood f or
thought.

CSUSM Model United Nations team makes
its mark at national conference
Team takes home 6 awards from New York City competition

NEWS EDITOR
The CSUSM Model United Nations (MUN) Team
recently participated in an
international conference
where they were recognized for their tremendous
hard work and commitment
to academic competition.
On March/^0 through * 27, the school's Model UN team
traveled -to^NewYork City
in order to participate in a
conference where they took
home a total of 6 awards, including the top achievement

Ramtin said. "This entails

The Model UN team at
CSUSM started just three

since been internationally

other teams from around the

CSUSM transformed over its 25-year history
Building program, student body growth change climate of the campus
B Y S ONNI SIMMONS
COMMUNITY NEWS EDITOR
Cal State University San
Marcos has transformed
in numerous ways since
classes began in 1990, and
the campus continues to
grow even after 25 years.
The campus opened to
448 students in itsfirstyear,
far fewer than over 11,000
students that are enrolled
today. The student population of CSUSM, however,
is not the only component
of the university that has
grown in the last 25 years.
In the last two years alone,
five buildings and centers
were constructed on campus.
These additions to the campus include the Jan and Esther Stearns Center for ACE
Scholars, which opened in
February 2014, the Nursing
facility in University Hall
in January 2015, the Student Health and Counseling
Services building in January
2015, the Veteran's Center
in September 2014 and the
University Student Union,
completed in January 2014.
"Since 2004, CSUSM has
averaged one new building a year. These are the
physical signs of a growing,
breathing, living campus,"
said Margaret Chantung, Director of Communications
and Senior Public Information Officer for CSUSM.
The addition of these buildings is a physical expression
of the intellectual growth
that CSUSM nurtures. The
value of community also
serves as the foundation for
this growth, since they were

made possible by donations
and students themselves.
"The growth often reflects
partnerships with the community - for instance, the
Veterans Center was a dona-
tion from the students of the
Stevens Institute for Technology in New Jersey and is a
space that allows us to better
support student veterans, active-duty military members
and their family members,"
Chantung said. "The QUAD,
built by a private partner, not
only helped us fulfill one of
our strategic priorities - to
enhance student life - but
allowed us to have the capacity to build the USU."
"The USU, the Student
Health and Counseling Services building and now The
Sports Center, currently
under construction, are all
funded by student fees so
these buildings also reflect the vision of students
and their commitment to
leaving a legacy for future
Cougars," Chantung said.
As CSUSM students
evolve and the population grows, the university
grows in tandem. To accommodate the students,
there will be more campus
growth in the near future.
"The Athletics Department
just hosted the groundbreaking of The Sports Center on
Monday, March 23. We look
forward with excitement and
anticipation as we watch this
facility take shape over the
coming months and then celebrate its grand opening in
the late summer of 2016,"
said Chantung. "We [...]
also look forward to the new
and innovative CSUSM University Store that will combine the University Store
and Bookstore together in
one central location in the
Dome, opening in fall 2015."
The growth of CSUSM
allows students to be apart
of a transforming campus
environment that fosters
success within every aspect
of the college experience.

Latin@ Center receives support, questions from campus community
B Y K ATUN S WEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
The announcement of
the name and location of
the Latin@ Center has
garnered praise and opposition for the progress
that has been made thus
far in preparing the space.
The Latin® Center will
open in Fall 2015 and occupy the space that is currently
the Social Justice Training &
Resource Center in the University Student Union (USU
3300). Dr. Lorena Meza has
been appointed by President
Haynes to oversee the implementation of the Center and
find a director for it. Current
plans for the Center include
hiring peer educators to assist the Latin@ Center's
director with programming
and student mentorship.
In February, Meza confirmed that the Center will
provide resources to the
student body such as programming related to understanding culture, especially of Latin countries.
Since the announcement of
its implementation, students,
faculty, staff and community members have vocalized support for the crea-
tion of the Latin@ Center.
However, there is concern
that the current plans for
the Center are not sufficient
to meet the needs of the
Latin@ and Raza identified community on campus.
As of Spring 2015, this
totals 39 percent of the student populace. CSUSM
is considered a Hispanic
Serving Institution, with
more than 25 percent of the
student population identifying as Hispanic/Latino.
"We appreciate the efforts
of Lorena Meza, which has
shown that we can make this
center a possibility," CSUSM
student and External Representative for M.E.Ch.A.,
Selena Arellano, said. "She
has been encouraging in this
process and we hope to build
strong connections and progress with her. However, we
feel the university has not
met our needs as students."
One of the main concerns
with the Latin@ Center is
that its current name is not
inclusive of all identities in
the Latin@ and Raza communities on campus. One of
the first names suggested by
many campus community
members for the center was
the Raza Center. The space
officially became known

as the Latin @ Center when
President Haynes announced
it in an email sent to the campus community on Jan. 28.
"Not every person on campus identifies as Latino or
Hispanic. For example, I
identify as Mexican-American, Indigenous and Xicana,
all that are not included in the
terms Latino and Hispanic,"
Arellano said. "'Raza' simply means people and we can
identify as this. The word is
in Spanish but as a Hispanic
Serving Institution, I believe
the campus should embrace
student's native language."
Another concern that
has arisen is that the So-
cial Justice Training & Resource Center is too small
for what some campus
community members envision for the Latin@ Center.
In the past year, Latin®
and Raza identified students have advocated for
resources to be included in
the Center such as computers, space to organize and socialize and a welcome desk
that provides information
about financial aid services,
graduate studies, campus
involvement and community service opportunities.
While campus community
members have been enthusiastic about housing the
Latin® Center in the USU,
there is concern that the desired resources will not fit in
the Social Justice Training
& Resource Center. This has
prompted a discussion as to
whether or not the Latin®
Center can be relocated to
a new space on campus.
"It would be awesome to
home the center in the USU,
but the given space did not
match our visions of the
center," CSUSM student and
Co-Chair of S.T.A.N.D., Julio Chavez, said. "We have
been told that the location
will not be changed and now
we will focus on striving for
the best resources that can
be provided for the center."
Despite its size, both Arellano and Chavez agreed
that the location of the Social Justice Training & Resource Center is ideal due
to its proximity to the other
student centers. When it
opens in the fall, the Latin@
Center will be located with
the Cross-Cultural Center
on its right and the Gender
Equity Center and LGBTQA
Pride Center on its left.
Chavez said that the location will help members of
the Latin@ Center encourage visitors to become involved with the other centers
and increase their community involvement overall
"We have seen a trend with
our fellow "Latin@s" that
a majority are not involved
on campus and this center
will try to push them to be
more engaged with their
campus community and have
an overall better CSUSM
experience," Chavez said.
Despite the concerns
over space and the current
name, supporters of the
Latin@ Center are encouraged that the space will be
inclusive of all members
of the campus community.
"This center is not only for
Latino and Latina students,"
Arellano said. "When this
topic was brought up at [a]
United Students of Color
Coalition [meeting], support
for the center was offered,
in return for support to open
other centers to represent
other groups on campus."
"We will continue to advocate for the needs of undocumented students as well,"
Chavez said. "We will be
asking for a plan to move the
center to a larger space upon
new plans for new structures on campus. For now
we will focus on the quality of the space and not just
the quantity of the space."

BSU President, Akilah

taken to reflect students,

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

California Faculty Association puts CSUSM pay inequities in spotlight
B Y J ASMINE D EMERS
NEWS EDITOR
The California Faculty Association (CFA) recently began the release of a four-part
white paper series that addresses issues of inequality
within the California State
University (CSU) system.
The series, entitled
"Race to the Bottom", addresses and analyzes the
priorities of the CSU system and the ways in which
these decisions are making a direct impact on faculty members and students.
The CSU system is composed of 23 campuses, more
than 450,000 students and
over 45,000 faculty and staff,
making it one of the largest
university systems in the
world. Because of its range,
the issues that affect the CSU
also inadvertently make an
impact on the state of California as well as society at large.
"CFA decided to launch a
series of papers this spring
because it's time for the
CSU's leadership to fix the
problems that have been created by 10 years and more
of misplaced priorities and
problematic choices," said
Dr. Lillian Taiz, President of
the CFA Board of Directors.
The first white paper
in the series was released
on March 3 and is called
"CSU's 10-year Failure to
Fund its Core Mission". It
discusses the critical role
that faculty members play in
the lives of students in terms
of success and educational
advancement. It also examines issues such as the lack
of salary increases for faculty members over the past
10 years, which has a direct
effect on their ability to provide the essential drive that
students need to succeed.
According to the first paper, it "serves as a sounding call for new priorities
in the CSU based on what
we know about the greatest
drivers of student success.
The university acknowledges the critical role that
the faculty play; they must
be willing to set the priority
and make the investment."
The paper also explains
that, over time, the CSU
faculty salary has lost purchasing power across the
entire university system.
It was written that "over the
past decade—-in good times
and bad, whether state funding was up or down, when
tuition was raised and when
it wasn't—CSU expenditures on faculty salaries have
remained essentially flat."
Research within the paper
illustrates that the average
CSU faculty salary was less
in 2013 than it was in 2004
on every campus. When
compared to the UC system,
it is shown that "every single
UC campus saw a "real dollar" increase in its average
faculty salary, ranging from
a real increase of $2,226 at
UC Riverside to an increase
of $17,890 at UC San Francisco. In stark contrast, fac-
ulty at all CSU campuses
experienced a loss in average salary purchasing power over the same period."
CFA members are concerned that these stagnant
salaries are intensely affecting the personal and financial circumstances of faculty
members. Professors, according to the CFA, have to focus much more diligently on
providing for themselves and
their families because of the
fact that they are slowly falling out of the middle class.
In a news conference call
on March 3, Dr. Darel Engen, Professor of History
and the CFA President of the
CSUSM chapter, commented
on these issues and furthermore explained the impact
that faculty salary inequities have on student success.
"Because professors have
to take the bus to school, it
takes away from their ability to spend more time with
their students. We ask that
students join with faculty
in calling CSU to make
some changes and take action. Faculty working conditions are student learning
conditions," Engen said.
The first paper points out
that the CSU's core mission
recognizes the important role
of faculty members within
the higher education system.
Despite this recognition,
"the system administration
has consistently f&il<6iP t6*
provide the dollars needed
for faculty to sustain their
central role adequately."
Learning will open more
sections of courses that students need than the state has
funded the university for.
Extended Learning charges
a higher rate for students to
take these courses. I don't
know where all the money
for these courses goes,"
Rauch said. "It appears to
me that while more and more
work is generated for staff
through this process, there
appears to be little or no related promotional opportunities, stipends, raises, reclassifications and few IRPs (in
range progression) based on
this increased workload."
Rauch explained that these
issues are putting CSUSM
staff under a great deal of
pressure because they are
expected to take on more
work without fair compensation. The increasing
workload is also not being balanced by the hiring
of additional employees.
"In fact, in the past several years, while student
FTE (full- time equivalent)
and Faculty hiring have increased, staff positions have
increased very little. This
lack of workforce increase
causes unfunded, institutionalized workload creep,"
Rauch said. "The institution
cannot expect a finite workforce to continue to handle
an ever expanding workload without both increasing
the size of the workforce to
match the growth of the University, and increasing the
wages and positional levels
of the workforce to match increasing skills and abilities."
After the grievance was
filed, staff union leaders also
put together an Extended
Learning Workload Study,
which includes a survey
that was sent out to all 384
union represented employees at CSUSM. The survey
asks that employees provide
information such as the extended learning courses that
are offered through their
department, the amount of
work that they contribute to
these programs, whether or
not this work is included in
their job description and the
compensation (if any) that
they receive for this work.
When the grievance was
filed, the CSUEU at San
Marcos also filed an RFI or
a Request for Information
from the CSUSM administration. According to Rauch,
with this information, they
would be able to "gain a solid understanding of this issue
and how it impacts staff."
These requests, however,
have yet to be fulfilled by Employee Relations at CSUSM
and the staff union has been
1
The second white paper
in the "Race to the Bottom" series is entitled "Salary, Staffing Priorities and
the CSU's 1 %", and was
released on March 24.
This paper discusses the
issue of prioritization within
the CSU system in regards
to the importance that is
placed on administrators
and managerial staff over
faculty members. Those administrators who are at the
top of these hierarchies are
subsequently making significantly more than faculty
members, whose purchasing power has plummeted.
"It shows that over the past
ten years, in contrast to faculty, the CSU has prioritized
growing its management
and executive ranks. For example, the data shows that
the numbers of managers
and executives in the CSU
grew faster than permanent
faculty positions. Systemwide, while the numbers of
managers and executives
grew by 19%, permanent
faculty positions actually
fell by 3 percent," Taiz said.
According to the paper, the
losses in permanent faculty
members also occurred congruently with an increase of
student population at CSU
campuses. It is illustrated
that over the last decade, no
CSU campus experienced a
growth in permanent faculty

Pete Rauch, the CSUEU
President for the San Marcos chapter, explained this
grievance in detail and
highlighted the alleged inequities that staff members are being exposed to.
"CSUEU filed a class action grievance because I have
received the complaint from
many employees all over
campus (none from within
Extended Learning however) that they are 'buried'
or 'drowning in' Extended
Learning work," Rauch said.
The staff union at CSUSM
is currently investigating the reasons why these
employees might be experiencing increasing workloads and pay inequities.
"It appears that Extended
unable to gain access to the
information that would aid
them in their investigation.
CSUEU members are now
concerned that they are being
denied their rights to exercise contractual grievances.
"This
uncompensated
workload allows the institution to continue to grow on
the backs of the staff. Many
employees around campus appear to suffer from
unfunded workload creep.
We seek to understand the
staff workload dilemma, the
money flow to determine
potential sources of additional money that could be
used to increase the amount
of staff as well as increase
staff pay to match increased
workload and move staff
into higher classifications
where work has grown increasingly
complicated,
and not just more work."
Because the Extended
Learning program is offering
more courses to students than
the university has funding
for, it is causing current staff
members to take on the additional work without the proper amount of compensation.
The staff union at CSUSM
will continue to investigate
these issues so that they may
reach a proper conclusion
about how to go about correcting the alleged inequities.

University readies for move to NCAA Division II
California Collegiate Athletic Association to be new conference home
BY AMY CHASTAIN
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
After a 12 year battle,
Cal State San Marcos will
finally become an NCAA
Division II University this
upcoming fall and finally
depart from the NAIA.
Up until this point, CSUSM
athletics has been governed
by the NAIA. NAIA is
known for being a collection
of smaller, religious schools.
It is much more difficult
for them to handle a public
university with team sports.
CSUSM'S
participation in team sports within
NAIA has been unique
because these teams have
lacked a conference home.
The men's basketball team
is a great example of this
unique set up, said Athletic Director Jennifer Milo.
In past seasons, the men's
basketball team did not have
a recurring conference schedule. That meant when it came
time to play for the conference title it was a gathering
of other independent schools.
From this collection of independents comes the term for
the NAIA conference, Association of Independent Institutions (All.)» When the
men's basketball team went
to A.I.I. Conference Championships this year, they
played teams they had not
encountered during the regular season. Other team sports
such as women's basketball
have the same experience.
The California Collegiate Athletic Association
(CCAA) will be CSUSM's
conference home next year.
CSUSM set for transition to NCAA.
CSUSM will be able to compete in a conference against
schools such as UC San
Diego and Cal State Los
Angeles. This will allow
CSUSM to establish natural rivalries, said Jennifer
Milo, Women's Volleyball
Head Coach Andrea Leonard said that as a part of
CCAA, Cougar athletes
will be able to participate in
"one of the top conferences
in Division II nationally."
Athletes at CSUSM have
also reacted positively to

this upcoming change. Softball player Naomi Amu, who
transferred from the NCAAsponsored University of Utah,
touched upon recruitment.
The move to NCAA "will
enhance our ability to recruit more student athletes,"
which will in turn make athletics stronger, Amu said.
Track and field athlete Jessica Toliver and volleyball
player Jordan McFarland
are both excited about the
chance to compete against
more established teams.
"It feels great knowing
that we will be competing with a higher level of
competition," Toliver said.
"We have the determination and discipline as
a team to do very well
against these [NCAA]
teams," McFarland said.
In speaking with the athletes and athletic staff at
CSUSM, the excitement
over the move to NCAA Division II is palpable. These
athletes are hungry for a
chance to show their talent to their new conference
and the NCAA as a whole.

ing season to reflect on.
Despite a 76-80 loss to
end the season, Coach Saia
and his players should be
proud of what they accom-
plished during this year's
campaign. The men's basketball team finished 30-4
and have a long list of individual accolades to claim.
Julian Camper, Wade Collie and Blake Nash were
all awarded the recognition
of CSUSM Athlete of the
Month. Julian Camper and
fellow teammate Akachi
Okugo were named to the
Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.)
Second Team. In addition,
Dayton Boddie received
A.I.I. Honorable Mention.
Graduating senior Blake
Nash was named A.I.I. Player of the Year, A.I.I. First
Team Athlete, A.I.I. Championship Most Outstanding
Player and was a candidate
for NAIA Player of the Year.
Nash was also awarded
NAIA First Team All American. He is only the second
men's basketball player to
receive this honor in program
history. In four games during
the season, Nash scored 30
or more points. This stand as
"the most in a single season
in program history," according to csusmcougars.com.
Coach Jim Saia was named
Coach of the Year for the second year in a row. In the last
two seasons, Saia has led the
Cougars to an overall record
of 62 wins and only 6 losses.
One of the team's biggest highlights was winning the A.I.I. Conference
Title for the second consecutive year against host
team West Virginia Tech.
"It was a great environment
to play in and the team came
together and pulled out a
great win," Blake Nash said.
This season was "a
phenomenal
experience," Coach Saia said.
Blake Nash agreed with
Saia and said that IT was
impressive that the team
was able to play as well
as they did this season.
The 2015 men's basketball
team and its six graduating
seniors: Blake Nash, Julian
Camper, Jacob Andersson,
Tony Freeland, Wade Collie
and Steele Sylte, should be
proud that they have continued to mold the legacy of
CSUSM men's basketball
with another winning season.
Here are 25 ways to celebrate a healthy life
BY AMANDA Q UILLING
HEALTH COLUMNIST
With CSUSM celebrating its 25th anniversary,
we wanted to celebrate 25
ways college students can
practice a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy lifestyle is
much more complex than
just working out and eating
right. Sure, exercise and nutrition covers one aspect of a
healthy life; however, there
are four other dimensions
we often forget. These dimensions include emotional,
social, mental and spiritual
health. With that, here are
25 tips for a healthy life:
Develop
self-efficacy: Believe in yourself
and in your successes.
Find social support:
Whether it's a group of
friends or family, find people you can trust and talk to.
Practice yoga or meditation: Quiet your mind, take
up yoga or meditate in the
meditation room on campus .
Go outside and connect
with nature: The perfect
combination to boost psychological health and exercise.
Engage in positive self-talk:
Don't put yourself down;
only use uplifting comments.
Sleep: Sleep allows you
to cope with stress and
increases
productivity.
Maintain physical health:
Hit the gym, take a bike ride
or hike with some friends.
Make you time: This is
a great way to boost self-
esteem and look forward
to something enjoyable.
Form realistic expectations: Assess what your
goals are and how you can
realistically achieve them.
Drink moderately: Only
have a beer or two; the
CDC recommends two for
men and one for women.
Be mindful: Be present
in the moment and embrace each new experience.
Eat healthfully: Eating
well helps us cope with
stress and keeps our body
performing
optimally.
Stay organized: Keeping a calendar or making lists decreases stress
and increases time for fun.
Laugh: Watch a funny
movie; laughter elevates your
mood and immune function.
Leave the past in the past:
Learn to resolve old problems, don't carry pain and
frustration into the present.
Drink water: Trade
the soda or energy drink
for good hydration.
Make sex safe: Always
use protection and never do
anything you're not comfortable with. Also, refrain from
risky sex when drinking.
Get a flu shot: With finals around the corner reduce your chance of getting sick with a flu shot.
Wear sunscreen: While
tanning during spring, make
sure to protect your skin.
Quit smoking: Smoking
has huge health risks; seek
help on campus for quitting.
I

Celebrate 25 years with 25 tips toget healthy.
Ask for help: Reach out
for help if you need it, don't
risk getting overwhelmed.
Expect change: Things are
always changing; the better
we adapt, the more we grow.
Volunteer: Helping others
elicits a sense of satisfac-
tion that boosts your mood.
Assert yourself: Make
sure the health decisions
you make are your own.
Always keep improving:
No matter how healthy we
are, there are always ways
we can keep improving.

University breaks ground on Sports Center
I Cougars to enjoy homecourt advantage at last
B Y B URTLAND D IXON
SPORTS EDITOR
The time has finally arrived. CSUSM athletes and
student gas tanks need not
to worry for much longer.
On March 23, 2015,
ground was officially broken
for the new Sports Center
at the groundbreaking ceremony held on campus.
A home for our athletes to
compete in and a fostering
of student life is on the way.
"This facility is a game
changer - for our campus, our athletes and our
H HH W
MHM j
region," Athletic Director, Jennifer Milo, said.
Jennifer Milo hit it right on
the head with that statement.
The Sports Center is a game
changer for several reasons.
One of those reasons is our
Cougars will finally have a
true home court advantage.
Another reason is the ability
to grow the community on the
CSUSM campus. The game
is being changed both literally and figuratively through
our players and student life.
"Our student athletes represent the heart and soul
of Cougar pride," said
CSUSM President Haynes.
Giving a home to the heart

University staff and community members gathered to celebrate.
and soul of Cougar pride is
a step in the right direction
for sure. Just stepping foot in
the room where the ground-
breaking ceremony was held,
one could just feel the energy
pulsing in the room. Excitement filled the air as impor-
tant members of CSUSM
faculty and athletes spoke
about the Sports Center.
Justfiveyears ago, this new
gym would not have been
needed. Basketball and women's volleyball were not added until the 2011-12 season.
CSUSM worked as swiftly
as possible to get this gymnasium to come about. This
just gives permission to people's imagination to contemplate about what can come
into fruition next at CSUSM.
"This facility has been a
missing link to feeling complete as a department," Milo
said via csusmcougars.com.
Come the 2016-2017 sea-
son, the gym will be complete and athletes, students
and faculty will all be able
to rejoice. Traveling to Miracosta and Escondido High
for a home basketball and
volleyball game respectively,
will all be a thing of the past.
If anything, our opponents
should cherish these last seasons while they can before
our Cougars are unleashed
in all their glory to what they
will soon call their home.
What better way to celebrate 25 years than to
commence the construction of what will affect the
whole university in nothing
short of a positive manner.

B Y A MY C HASTAIN
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
An important job that
all Cal State San Marcos
coaches have is the everyday task of recruiting future student-athletes. What
makes CSUSM unique
among other sports schools
is that they recruit primarily from the local area.
Andrea Leonard, the
women's volleyball coach,
stressed the importance of
recruiting in finding the
"next-level athlete" that is
capable of guiding the team
to a higher level of play.
On Wednesdays and
Thursdays, CSUSM students
have an opportunity toAvorfcout all muscle groups in a
fitness class called Kettlebell
in the Clarke Field House.
It is an intense one hour
workout aimed to improve
your strength and to provide
fun at the same time. It is a
chance to meet new people
and working out together
is always motivational.
The group workout is
conducted by Campus
Recreation. Like all the
others, it aims at keeping
the students' fitness levels high and stress levels
low during the semester.
Kettlebell has an interesting history, the gist being
that it came to Russia in the
beginning of the eighteenth
century and was first just a
weight with which goods
were measured. As time
went by, the Russians made
it a competition to see who
can lift the heaviest weighing Girya (Kettlebell) and
later turned into what we
i iuw k mrw a s t he a portami
workout routine Kettlebell.
The focus of this training
is strength and conditioning.
Jordan Riding, a Kinesiology major who is a certified
personal trainer and leads the
workout, says that the golden
rule while playing any sport
or while working out is staying hydrated. An interesting
fact that Riding shared is that
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness helps burn calories as
well, so in simple terms, that
means the muscle soreness is
another way to burn calories
even after the class is over.
So for those who want innovative ways to stay fit this
semester, place Kettlebell on
your 'to-do' list. The classes
are at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays
and 4 p.m. on Thursdays.
the local talent pool, it
is essential that CSUSM
coaches build relationships
with local club coaches.
Leonard expanded on this
process when she
said that a big
part of recruiting
is "going to go
look at some of
the best club training programs"
and building relationships with
those coaches.
Leonard commented on the
importance of
finding these high qualside, Los Angeles, Ventura
and other surrounding areas. ity programs because it
When drawing from means "that you know what
type of kid you're getting."
When Leonard and Pulvers
obtain a recruit from a nearby high school or community
college, these young athletes
typically bring their whole
family as a support system.
If even half of the athletes
on a team are able to have
local family attend games,
then the support for athletics
grows exponentially, which
is an ingenious idea in itself.
As CSUSM prepares to
make the leap to NCAA Division II this coming year,
coaches Andrea Leonard
and Ron Pulvers stand by
these recruiting principles
that have guided them to
success in past seasons.
"I know what it's like to be
sitting on the side and worrying about work and income, so when I play, it's my
time to just relax, have fun.
It's like my free time," said
Amu, a fourth-year transfer
from the University of Utah.
Unlike a lot of college athletes, Amu does not fixate
on statistics. This approach
pays off. Despite an injury
prohibiting her from pitching, Amu leads the NAIA
in home runs (10), total
bases (56) and RBI , (33).
"I don't look at anything,
I really just play... [itV a]
kind of freedom," she said.
Amu is able to find liberation in the midst of her busy
life, which involves the responsibilities of being a fulltime mother—to an 18-month
old son, Amu—student and
athlete. Amu took a year off
from school, but had a strong
interest in CSUSM and
their softball program even
while pregnant with her son.
As an Oceanside native,
Amu decided to transfer
to Cal State San Marcos
so she could raise her son,
play the sport she loves and
finish her education close
to her family and fiancé.
"Softball was my key
to completing my education," Amu
said.
"I think the loyalty for them
to respect me as a mother...
was the biggest reason why I
play so hard for [CSUSM],"
said Amu, a Communication major. They "totally let
me be a parent" even if that
means missing practice to
take care of her son, she said.
Coach Laurie Nevarez,
had nothing but praise for
Naomi and her accomplishments in all facets of her life.
Nevarez
endorses
Amu's skill and character on and off the field.
"She is so powerful and explosive," said Laurie Nevarez, Head Softball Coach.
Nevarez said that Amu has
an incredible ability to be
"100 percent in as an athlete, mother and student."
The coach called her "a
selfless superstar" and credited Amu for being a positive addition to the team
with an innate ability to
encourage her teammates.
"She is an absolute treasure to the team," she said.
Ron Pulvers, the men's soccer coach, said alongside with
Leonard that although they
are looking for a high level
of talent, their main priority
is finding athletes that will
be the right fit for CSUSM.
The allure of a super-talented athlete is quickly apparent, but Pulvers and other
coaching staff stand by the
idea that they do not recruit
based of athletic ability alone.
CSUSM coaches want
athletes that will make an
impact on the team and
mesh well academically,
athletically and socially.
As Pulvers put it, they are
looking for a "wholesome,
honest, authentic fit" when
it comes to a future athlete,
Similarly, Leonard said
that they are looking for an
"upper echelon" studentathlete "that isn't just necessarily the best
player, but the
one who makes
those around
them better."
Many universities recruit outside of the state
or even outside
of the country.
CSUSM is different because
they prefer to recruit talented local prospects.

letes in North County.

Liberal arts professor pursues passion for history

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

"I didn't think about it in
terms of education so much
as that was a personal spiritual expression, but it certainly flourished at that time,"
Merritt said. "Ethiopia grew
out of my personal interest as
a Rastafari, as a way of life."
Dr. Merritt discussed
how he felt moved towards the Rasta lifestyle.
"I was raised Baptist and
moved through that. Beginning to move and explore and
look at various other faiths/
expressions and have a lot of
respect for all faiths and spiritual expressions," he said. "I
think one of the things that
maybe people who practice
Rastafari would say, among
other things, is that whatever
they have been looking for
in other pathways... what
was missing was a cultural
expression. And that's what
the basis of Rastafari is, African culture. A king of retooling or re-emergence of it."
Dr. Merritt's academic
work and personal life as
a Rastafari continued to
mesh during his doctoral
research. He explained how
his focus was on the town
of Shashamane, Ethiopia.
"I've worked with the
school project over a number
of years, [and] helped with
water pumps being put up.
That's one of the big problems that people have had,
potable water. That's an African wide issue," Merritt said.
Race, Education and
Student Advice
Shifting gears to the topic of race relations in the
U.S., Merritt explained the
topicfromhis point of view.
"I think old school racism
is pretty much a thing of the
past. Even though there are
some hotbeds of it here and
there. And not just against
blacks, but against Asians,
Latinos [and] against LGBT.
That's just part of the human expression. And therefore I think I see it more as
systematic," he said. "I talk
about racism as institutionalized racism rather than
this ' I don't like you because of the way you look."
After being asked what
changes he would like to

Dr. Anthony Merritt gives advice on academics and life,
see nationally, he mentioned higher employment
and a cheaper college education as possible changes
in the education system.
"I've always felt that college education should be
as free as possible. When I
look at what you all as students are dealing with, your
escalating fees whether it's
here at CSU San Marcos
or worse in the UC system.
I teach at community colleges, their fees are going
up... Let education be more
truly universal so that young
people can compete in this
global market," Merritt said.
Dr. Merritt'sfinaladvice to
students navigating through
college is applicable to all
students regardless of major.
"Don't forget your heart,
but don't have it on your
sleeve. Meaning, do what
you want to do including
making money, but do it with
a sense of moral responsibility in whatever way shape or
form you can to help other
people. It makes no difference what it is as long as it's
good, honest work that can
help other people," he said.

to success with undergrads
B Y SHANICE D AVIS
ASSISTANT. FEATURES EDITOR
CSUSM's very own Nada
Sewidan received her B.A.
in Literature and Writing Studies with an emphasis in writing last Fall.
Anyone who saw her on
campus knows she is intelligent, energetic, charming and always on the go.
According to Sewidan,
life outside the gates of
CSUSM is exciting, freeing
and filled with a plethora of
opportunities. The hard part
is the inevitable job hunting.
"My experience in the
real world so far, well
I'm an expert at applying to jobs now," she said.
"Since I had to apply to so
many, I can write one heck of
a cover letter. You should see
my emails after the twentieth
job I applied for~spotless!"
Despite learning something new, Sewidan warns
others of the stressors that
come with the responsibilities of being a new grad.
"Pretty much what I'm trying to say is thatfindinga job
is difficult. Like pull out my
hair, eat my weight in chocolate, stress that I'll have no
future and live in a cardboard
box difficult...I'm exaggerating, but really!" she said.
Sewidan currently holds
a position as a technical
writer and researcher for
Capright, in addition to an
internship as a journalist
for a non-profit company,
The Borgen Company.
Yet, her dreams don't stop
there. Sewidan has applied
to Portland State University
with the hopes of enrolling
in the dual master's program
and obtaining an M A. in
book publishing along with
an M.F.A. in creative writing.
In regards to grad school,
Sewidan seems more excited than afraid of the
massive amount of work
that is sure to come.
"I'm excited to be living in a new place! I'm also
excited to be part of a new
community. I know that one
of my favorite experiences
at CSUSM was the community aspect," she said.
"I made a lot offriendswith
both fellow colleagues and
professors and at The Cougar
Chronicle, so I look forward
to building those kinds of relationships there as well. I'm
really excited to be working
on the press and to learn as
much as I can in the process."
"I hope to be an editor for a publishing company, a published writer
and since I'm dreaming
about the future right now,

Nada Sewidan looks forward to life in grad school.
I hope to someday open my
own press," Sewidan said.
"But even if none of those
things happen, I'll be glad
that I got to experience the
things I did in Portland."
In 10 years, if all things
go sideways, Sewidan said
she'd be content with simply being alive and writing.
"If I accomplish none
of the goals, because life
likes to throw some curve
balls around, I'd like to
still be writing," she said.
As for all the soon to be
graduates who are interested in grad school, Sewidan
had important advice.
"Apply early. Seriously!
Thé application process
takes a while, but it's worth
it. Do your research regarding what school you want
to go to, what programs
are best for you, check
out the area too," she said.
"Is the school located in
a place that's really expensive? Can you afford living
there? I thought about going to Boston until I realized
it's one of the most expensive cities to live in, and I'd
probably have to live in a
cardboard box to be able to
go and pay for school there."
As for everybody else
who is over school and can't
wait to graduate, she also
advised staying focused.
"Turn stuff in on time and
don't procrastinate. I know I
sound like a broken record,
but seriously, college is the
time to learn how to figure
out your schedule and how
long it takes you to do an
assignment," Sewidan said.
"This is the time to experiment with that kind of stuff
because working the two
jobs I have now, procrastinating is not an option."

B Y K ATUN SWEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Hannah Hawker's dedication to CSUSM is a defining characteristic of her
collegiate career, her list of
campus involvement spanning countless organizations
and departments on campus.
Hawker is currently a third
year at CSUSM. She is a
Human Development major
emphasizing in counseling
and minoring in Psychology.
Since starting at CSUSM in
Fall 2012, Hawker's campus
involvement includes Orientation Team (O-Team), ASI
President's Cabinet, 25th
Anniversary Planning Committee, University Corporation Board of Directors and
participation in Lead Retreat.
Her leadership positions
include President of Colleges Against Cancer, Vice
President of Resident Hall
Council, Philanthropy Chair
of Alpha Xi Delta and Extended Learning Specialist
of ASI Campus Activities
Board. Hawker has also
been selected to be the
Programming Coordinator of ASI Campus Activities Board for 2015-2016.
Having come to CSUSM
from Napa, CA, Hawker
only knew two people when
she started at CSUSM. This
motivated her to join as many
organizations and committees as possible so that she
could become acquainted
with the campus and get to
know her fellow students.
However, her enthusiasm
temporarily overwhelmed
her schedule, leading Hawker to discover the importance of time management.
"I knew from the get go
that I wanted to do everything," she said. "I tried to
do that, but I learned quickly
that it was hard to say no. I
am now starting to cut back
and focus on school and
my grades because those
started to take a toll while
I was still learning time
management and balance."
Hawker said that her desire to participate in campus organizations also came
from a positive freshman
orientation experience and
support from other campus community members.
"I met Leslie Nevens, who
was the director over at the
dorms when I was a freshman going through the San
Marcos Experience program
and when I was on Resident
Hall Council. She was one of
the first faces that I knew in
administration and helped to
get me connected," Hawker
said. "I met Jennie Ruiz
when I worked on O-Team,
and she is an amazing human
being who really encouraged
me to just pursue what I want
to do. Dilcie Perez has also
been supportive of me and
we have a great, funny relationship. I know that she
genuinely cares about students' safety and well being."
When asked what word
best described her, Hawker
chose the word 'hopeful,'
which reflected her personal
goals for growth and love
for giving back. She said
that the legacy she leaves behind at CSUSM would ideally focus most on helping
others during her time here.
"We get so caught up in
our daily lives that we forget
how powerful we really are,"
Hawker said. "We really
should all live to our fullest potential in all aspects.
If you're not happy with
something, then just* change
it. It might be hard, it might
be a struggle but sometimes
you just have to do it. Don't

OPINION EDITOR
Lauren Hammond graduated from CSUSM last year
with a degree in Literature
and Writing. She served as
the Opinion Editor for The
Cougar Chronicle in the
2013-2014 school year and
is currently in her first year
of receiving her Master's in
the English and Comparative Literature Program at
San Diego State University.
"As a transfer student,
CSUSM was the first campus that I really felt attached to," Hammond said.
She also said she misses
the great professprs she
worked with in the Literature
and Writing Department, as
well as everyone she worked
with at the Writing Center
and The Cougar Chronicle.
"I don't think that I would
be as successful or motivated as I am today without the
support I had from everyone
I had met during my time
at CSUSM, and I am extremely grateful to have had
the opportunity to meet such
wonderful people," she said.
What Hammond loves
most about graduate school is
that she is treated as a profes-

sional more so than as a pupil.
"Although my studies as
a graduate student are far
more demanding than the
experience I had as an undergraduate, I feel much
more connected to the work
I do," she said, and adds that
she has " had the opportunity to teach freshman level
college courses in writing,
which has been a very fulfilling and exciting experience."
Hammond is currently
working as a writing tutor
and a Rhetoric and Writing
Studies instructor at SDSU
and she will continue to
do so during the rest of her
time in graduate school.
"In the future, I plan to
continue my studies and receive my doctorate degree
in order to become a university professor," she said,
but she also admits that she
is "not sure where I will be
applying just yet. I will begin
looking into programs starting in the fall as I finish up
my Master's level work."
Lauren Hammond was
a valuable member of The
Cougar Chronicle team
and we are proud of all of
the work she has accomplished since her graduation.

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

�Kill the (disposable) Cup to save the planet
Imagine a world, where
you can enjoy your coffee
every morning without the
guilt of being one of the 58
billion paper cups thrown
away each year, the 925 million pounds of waste or contributing to the 14.5 billion
pounds of C 02 emissions.
KilltheCup.com, a San Diego
based non-profit organization, is seeking to get 22,000
coffee drinkers to commit
to their movement. To have
them pledge that they will
switch to a reusable cup on
Earth Day, April 22. Coffee
has become a huge phenomenon in our fast-paced society, a crutch to keep us going
through all possible fatigue.
"The disposable cup
B Y E RIK D E L A C RUZ
STAFF WRITER
Hands shaking, a drip of
sweat running across the
temple of your face, one
eye closed, aiming at what
you're about to kill. You
make a choice despite others telling you not to do
it, you pull the trigger...
BAM! You killed the cup.
Your body immediately relaxes from the tension. You
do it anyway, despite the
norm of others opinions that
it's too much effort and that
you alone can't create an impact. We're a long ways away
from realistically killing the
(disposable) cup, but it all
begins with a decision to act.

has become an iconic and
highly visible symbol of
waste and negative environmental impact," said Drew
Beal, Chief Environmental
Optimist at Kill the Cup.
The simple notion that
KilltheCup.com is going after is changing habits from
April 2 through April 22 and
on to contribute positively to
the planet, one cup at a time.
In this era, in order to create a lasting shift, especially
at the college level, you must
inspire social innovation.
That is in the mission statement for KilltheCup.com, as
well as educating consumers
about the negative effects
on the environment by using disposable cups. Their
creative blend of gamification, social media marketing,
as well as activities which
harvest fun are what have
manifested them to become
"one of the most innovative
civic startups in the country."
Individuals who take part
in the Kill the Cup University Challenge upload photos
of themselves with a reusable cup to spread awareness
in hopes that it creates a
chain reaction through the
influencers on different campuses. Fall of 2014 was the
inaugural campaign that
through 20 days was able
to save an estimated 15,440
cups, which is equivalent to
244 pounds of landfill waste.
Slow, but it's progressive to
the overall mission of reducing waste and as with anything, change commences
with the break of habit.
Advancement begins with
a choice and everyone can
make an impact in the preservation of the earth. We all
say in one way or another
that we want to change the
world, but it all beings with
you. You can influence others to join the movement of
Kill the Cup. We all have a
story, we are all looking for
a purpose. Something as
simple as posting a picture
of a reusable cup can make
a difference on campus
and in the rest of the world.
Why Cal State University San Marcos is the best
What makes our school so great
B Y SARAH YOUNGREN
STAFF WRITER
College is a place to have
fun, explore your independence and learn more about
life and yourself. At least
that's what I've heard about
college throughout my life.
While yes, those are all
very true, what you don't
hear too much about is how
extremely stressful it is.
There is endless amounts of
homework, school activities,
work and not to mention we
have our impending future
of what we will do after col-
lege looming over us. Thankfully, in my opinion, CSUSM
is the best school to go to as
a young adult who is transitioning to the real world.
Before I transferred here,
I was scared about finishing
college and trying to break
into the business world. But
it wasn't long before my
feelings started to change.
My second semester here, I
went to a career counselor
w ho h elped s teer m e i n t he
right direction. He inspired
me to do more than just go to
school, and to actually start
working towards my career
while in college. I found out
that there are many activities
on campus you can get involved with and that will aid
you in building your resume.
I was scared of the idea at
first. I was never the student to get involved for fear
of rejection, but I met some
friends who showed me how
welcoming organizations on
campus are. The experience
has been overwhelmingly
supportive and friendly.
Yet, I think the best aspect
of CSUSM is the professors.
All of the professors I've had
so far are passionate, knowl-
edgeable, approachable and
helpful. I know most teachers I've had in the past at
community college have
said you can come by their
office hours and ask questions, but I never actually
wanted to until I started going here. Maybe it had to do
with the fact that the work is
much harder, but I also think
the professors make you feel
comfortable, and they're

to get an academic adviser,
I did leg work to approach
each and every professor to
become my academic adviser over the course of my
studies from fall 2013 until spring 2015. But I heard
only one answer from each
professor: that they are
busy with other students.
There are hardly 20 students in my Master's program, but still the professors
are busy. Due to this, I was
unable to get an adviser and

demic adviser, and so I was
unable to submit my GWAR
paper. Because of all of this,
I am now academically disqualified from the program.
First of all, because
GWAR is important for this
school, the administration
should plan ahead of time
and provide a credit class
for the GWAR requirement
so that a student can enroll
in the class and will not
face severe consequences
such as I am facing now.
Secondly, there should be
a system which automatically assigns an academic
adviser to Master's students
who can guide them to complete all of the requirements
on time and make it possible
to complete their degree in
the given constraint of time.
Thirdly, as per classes are
concerned, the school should
make use of their computer
science faculty and students
to create all of the school's
software technology, like
Cougar Courses, web check
outs, etc. This could help the
school to secure funds for the
development of the Comput-

er Science Department and
would indeed be beneficial
for students. This experience
would also help computer science students find jobs once
they complete their degrees.
Finally, there is a serious
need of an international department which takes care
of CPT and OPT for international students. I feel this
is a need because according
to the current procedure,
you are supposed to know
two months in advance before getting a job to enroll
into the CPT class. But it is
completely unfair for international students to land an
internship because as an international student, you can
only work on your CPT during the course of the program
and on OPT after completion.
These are my recommendations which I believe will make CSUSM's
graduate program work as
it is supposed to, and will
attract more students and
will help current students
in CSUSM on conditional
admission to not get disqualified from their program.

No, we don't hate Darren Wilson just because he's white
B Y J OSHUA D . C OPELAND
STAFF WRITER
Why do some white people
cry "reverse-racism" when
they find they don't like the
taste of their own medicine?
As advised viewer discretion, I want to start by reassuring you that yes I am
a black guy and in no way,
shape, or form do I discriminate or am prejudiced against
white people or any other
ethnicity. I love everyone.
That being said, this article is in response to "Racism is a Two-Way Street" by
Zach Schanzenbach, which
talks about racism in America directed towards whites,
if there is such thing....
He says racism is a "twoway" street, assuming that
the "two-ways" are coming from the direction of
black and white corners.
He doesn't hesitate to point
out the ignorance of those
oblivious to the racism in
this country, while failing
to recognize the ignorance
of his own. For example: his take on Ferguson.
To this day, Mike Brown
(a.k.a. "the black criminal"
killed by Darren Wilson) is
a sensitive spot for people
of color. But Schanzenbach
views the protests in response to Brown's murder
as discrimination against
Wilson, "condemning him
for blatant racism." Despite
Wilson's proven record of
past "blatant racism" and violence towards black people,
to Schanzenbach, Wilson
is the victim. Not Brown...
With all due respect,
Zach: What do you
know about racism?
Do you think blacks are
just roaring about racism
because it makes us feel
"uncomfortable?" How can
you, a white male, honestly
complain about reverseracism from the perspective of white privilege?
I don't see white kids executed and left dead in the
street for wearing hoodies or playing with toy
guns; or hung by trees; or
with their hands up; or on
video in broad daylight. I
don't hear the excuses for
why they died to cover-up
the reason regarding their
skin color. Where was the
media's sympathy then?
Where are your white equivalents to our Trayvon Martins, Tamir Rices and Mike
Browns (who actually didn't
have a criminal record)?
Instead, you have actual
white killers like James
Holmes, who pretends to
be "the joker" and shoots
people in a movie theater,
safely taken into custody...
"Safely" because he's white.
You said: "racism is a twoway street." That requires
you to look at racism as a
whole - from both directions of your street. Before
claiming how whites are
targets of racism, recognize
your privilege and the racism
practiced by your very own.

In response to 'Gender Equity Center changes raise questions'
BY ABRAHÁN MONZÓN
CONTRIBUTOR
Dear Cougars,
An important Letter to
the Editor was published
in the Women's Herstory
Month edition of The Cougar Chronicle. Titled "Gender Equity Center Changes
Raise Questions About Loss
of Women's Power," the letter posed the chief question:
"How can we empower women at CSUSM?" citing that
the Gender Equity Center is
"run by men." The letter provides the platform for a critical discussion about women,
gender, patriarchy and institutional support systems.
It is imperative that we remain critical of the ways in
which institutions uphold
or challenge traditional distributions of power. I want
to begin by sharing about
my personal process leading to my position as the
Assistant Director of the
ASI Community Centers.
Since I was an undergraduate, I have been passionate about gender and sexual
equity, feminism and social
justice. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Feminist
Studies and pursued graduate
studies in Student Affairs in
order to continue advocating
for, and supporting students,
on issues of gender and sexual equity. When I applied to
CSUSM, I was excited about
the prospect of working with
a number of students who are
passionate about these issues.
When I was invited to a
video interview with the
search committee, I learned
more about the organizational and staffing structure.
I learned that my supervisor, and his supervisor, were
both cisgender, queer or gay
men who are read as White.
As a disabled, gender nonconforming femme, queer,
Chicana I thought about the
ways in which I could add to
the dynamics of the office. At
the same time, I realized that I
am at times read as cisgender,
gay, white and masculine.
Gender-related programming in higher education
touches on many topics
including sexual violence
prevention, support for survivors, discussing body acceptance, supporting parents
and addressing the intersections of gender and other
identities. I also thought
about how my experiences
as a survivor, a person of

Business is the best choice.
Take a look around and

in my position would have
many strengths as well as
blind spots. For this reason,
it is important for me to not

speaking you could work in
any industry that may interest you. The classes that one
must pass to graduate with
a business degree are challenging for many, but in the
end create someone who is
very universal in any field.
Another benefit of being
someone who manages a
business is it is easy to have
flexible hours. Being able to
have the luxury to control
what days and what hours you
work is something people all
over dream of having. This
opens doors of new opportunities to adventures in life
that a different job that came
from a different major could
have restricted you from.
While it is great how many
business opportunities there
are in the United States
alone, the possibilities expand overseas to other countries for business majors.
Knowing how to operate a
business can be used worldwide. You could live in any
country in any part of the
world that your heart desires,
see all of the beauty with
your own eyes and get to
live in a new culture that others could only wish to be in.
So when you or a friend

the characteristics a student
dreams of having in their
ideal professor. Luckily,
CSUSM has a professor just
like that on its campus, and
her name is Dr. Heidi Breuer.
Professor Breuer has been
at CSUSM for eight years
and loves that the CSU
school system makes education accessible for anyone that wants to receive a
higher level of education.
"I was committed to the
idea of open access education, if you want to [get an
education] you should have
a chance, and I wanted to be
at the more access-friendly school," Breuer said.
Breuer's encouraging attitude towards education is
also shown through her passionate lectures in her classes. Her enthusiastic voice
can be heard from Markstein's hallways as students
pass by her lecture room on
their way to class, and students often peer through the
door's window wondering
what class this boisterous
professor is teaching. Luckily for all of these peeping
students, Professor Breuer
teaches a wide variety of
classes covering medieval
literature, Game of Thrones
and even a class about witches, zombies and vampires.

CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL
Why Jane Austen: Novel to Film is my favorite class
Class sessions resemble conversations among friends
BY NICOLE HOLMAN
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
This spring semester I
enrolled in the Jane Austen: Novel into Film course
(LTWR 336E), and it has
quickly become one of
the most enjoyable classes I've taken at CSUSM.
The class meets on Tuesday nights to discuss whichever Austen novel has been
assigned for us to read
for the week. Professor
Stoddard-Holmes teaches
this course and is very passionate about the subject
matter, making the class
that much more engaging.
You definitely need to leave
any preconceived notions
you may have had about
Jane Austen's writing at the
door. We quickly learned in
this class that Austen was a
master of social critique and
incredibly witty dialogue.
Many of the topics Austen
addresses in her novels are
still relevant today, and her
humor is conveyed so well
that I've found myself laughing out loud at some parts.
Though this may sound
like any typical Literature
and Writing course, it's really very unique. Conversations range from "how does
Austen critique gender roles
in her novels?" to "why do
you think the 2007filmtranslation of 'Pride and Prejudice' had Colin Firth jump
into a lake when that scene
wasn't in the novel?" (The
answer being, of course:
Colin Firth in a wet shirt).
While the class certainly
is a lot of fun, it has also
taught me a lot about both
Jane Austen and film. After
watching a film as a class
we analyze the similarities
and differences between the
novel and the film. This activity is especially interesting because most of the time
I see a movie with friends we
end up talking about how different it was from the book,
so it's a similar conversation, just in a class setting.
Another thing I really appreciate about the class is
the atmosphere. Even though
we're doing class work,
Professor Stoddard-Holmes
makes the class feel like
we're just having a conversation with friends. Despite
the fact that we have already
read four novels in this class,
I feel like we have taken plenty of time to talk about each
book and its film adaptation.
With lively discussion,
film screenings and lessons in Austenian etiquette,

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

Creative Writing course is must-take class
Take a risk and develop your writing skills with LTWR 325
BY CALEB H OGLAND
STAFF WRITER
Every semester you wonder what classes to take.
You weigh your options of
what you need and what you
would like. Sometimes there
are multiple options and the
only deciding factor is what
works for your schedule.
It is time for a change.
Being a college student often means a stressful race
to the finish line. "You
have four years so don't
mess around." Forget that.
College is a time for education and experimentation,
so take a class that you will
truly enjoy and use wherever
you go. Creative Writing
325 is a must-take class for
everyone it is available to.
This is an introductory
course where students learn
the basic techniques to
writing fiction and poetry.
Create something beautiful. Create something weird.
Create a story or poem by
painting with words as if
every keystroke was a brush
stroke. Create and learn
how to better your artwork.
Literature is art tob. The
artwork of paintings, music,
movies and novels transports
millions into another world
and time. Learn how to do
this. If you already are, then
learn how to do it better.
If you ever daydream then
this is the class for you. This
class will teach you the techniques and hone your skills
to draw out those dreams.
What good is a dream that
can't be made real or shared?
If you like telling stories,
then take a class that will
make you a better storyteller.
This class will help you consider all the important elements that make up stories
and how to put them together.
All the instructions are
completely helpful and
practical. Not a minute
goes to waste in teaching. Lecture days are simple cut and dry, right to the
point. Do x, y and z. Here is
why, and here is the effect.
Look around; look at every
funny-looking and goodlooking student. Everyone
has their own world they
want to create and share.
Being in a creative writing
class gives you the privilege of peering into other
students' minds and hearts.
This class brings students
together like no other. Students present and share
their art in a safe environ-
ment to their fellow peers.
Their peers first compliment
on things done well and
then give their opinion on
what they felt did not work.
The professor then masterfully guides and moves along
the conversation by helping students articulate, in a
non-offensive way, their critique of the presented work.
Just like any writing class,
students receive feedback
from the professor so they
can improve their work.
For the final project, students are allowed to reuse
a previous work once they
have incorporated the professor's comments and
techniques they learned
throughout the course.
More than learning to
write and present your art,
students are required to go
to poetry or book readings.

Creative writing can be a source of leasure as well as an academic
profession.
While requirements usually
come off as negative things,
these readings expose you
to the world of literature
in a more immediate way.
Think of your favorite
book; now imagine sitting
in front of the author as they
read a passage to you. J. K.
Rowling might not be available, but students will still get
the chance to see and meet up-
coming and famous writers.
Creative writing is not for
everyone. It is not for people who don't dream or daydream. It is not for people
who don't like movies, music , novels, plays or paintings.
Take this class even if
you don't need it. Step out
of your comfort zone and
learn to write something
you will want to share.

CSU San Marcos is a vibrant,

most of all, I 'm impressed

there is much to learn—but it

announced Prof. ChingMing Cheng's creation of
the BA in Music Program
last month, giving students
a more focused and hopefully beneficial curriculum
unlike the the current VPA
Major with Music emphasis. Are there plans to make
more separate programs for
the other emphasises? What
obstacles, if any, are there
to push the School further?
JK: I need to correct a couple of things. It wasn't only
Dr. Cheng who developed
the BA in Music, it was the
whole music faculty. The
tenure track people in that
discipline are Dr. Cheng,
Dr. Bill Bradbury, Dr. Merryl Goldberg and Dr. Mtafiti
Imara. They have worked
for a long time to make the
BA in Music a reality, and
pending approval at the
Chancellor's Office, we
will begin offering that degree in Fall of 2015. We're
all very excited about that.
The School of Arts (SofA)
is new, officially opening on
July 1 of 2014. Before that,
there was the Visual and

undergraduate and graduate education in the Arts
and a hub for the Arts in
our diverse communities.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the School
of Arts is to provide an inclusive, collaborative community where artists, scholars
and students actively engage
in developing artistic practices, critical thinking, cultural
intelligence and creativity.
During the next five years,
we will be working on making SofA a true hub for the
Arts in North County, building collaborations with the
wealth of community and
the diverse cultures that exists here, and of course we
will be working diligently on
creating and improving our
curricula to give our students
the very best experience possible. I hope that by the 30th
Anniversary of CSUSM, the
School of Arts will have BA
degrees in each of the disciplines, with options that allow for creatively building
a life in and with the Arts.
With this insight we
hope that students studying in the School of Art
with gain more and more
in their education and develop into thriving artists.

plines/options. The degree,
a BA in Visual and Performing Arts, was designed as
a very interdisciplinary degree, with four options and
a variety of minors. That
very creative degree will
continue to be offered, but,
in addition to the Music BA,
we are working on gaining
campus approval for BA
degrees in the disciplines
of Theatre as well as Art,
Media and Design (AMD),
and we are beginning the
planning process for Dance.
Moving from an option to
a BA degree program takes
time and work, but ultimately we would like to see each
of the disciplines with individual majors. The faculty
and students in those majors
will continue working on exciting projects with each other and with disciplines across
the university in a variety of
interdisciplinary endeavors.

SofA in the nextfiveyears for

NETFLIX REVIEW
4/5 PAWS
"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"
BY N ICOLE H OLMAN
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Tina Fey's newest and
long anticipated comedy series, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is
certainly worth the wait.
Ellie Kemper (of "Bridesmaids" fame) plays the
eternally optimistic Kimmy
Schmidt who is interestingly
similar to her character on
"The Office". This quirky
series opens with the release
of three young women from
the clutches of a delusional
pastor who convinced the
girls that the world ended.
After living in a doomsday
bunker for the past 15 years,
Kimmy Schmidt decides
to move to New York City
in pursuit of a normal life.
This proves to be both
challenging and hilarious,
as the last time Kimmy
Schmidt was part of the real
world, she was a teenager
living in the Midwest. With
out of date pop culture references and her own resilience,
Kimmy starts her life anew.
As she navigates the trials and wonders of adulthood, Kimmy befriends
her ham of a roommate, a
struggling actor named Titus
Andromedon. Together, the
two take on the city. Soon,
Kimmy becomes employed
to be a babysitter/assistant
to a wealthy Manhattanite played by "30 Rock"'s

own Jane Krakowski.
From the oddities of her
job, to almost joining a cycling cult, and eventually
going to court to prosecute
the pastor, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" will
keep you laughing all season long. The show's unexpected blend of bright colors,
satire and dark humor keep
viewers on their toes. To
top off the great writing on
this show, the theme song is
so catchy you'll find yourself singing it all day long.
Charming, witty and
genuinely endearing, "The

series to be sure to b inge

"The Duff": A shiny, dated pop culture film
BYWILLMCCURDY
EIC ASSISTANT
It is an odd day where the
following phrase is true:
"Twilight" was an inventive movie. Before everyone starts sharpening their
pitchforks and finding out
my home address, some
clarification is necessary.
"Twilight" despite all its
misogyny, poor dialogue,
offensiveness to the undead,
promotion of abusive relationships and making of
Kristen Stewart as an "actor" was a new spin on the
genre of teenfilms.It was the
type of movie with one foot
in the grave while digging
the hole for the other one
with shovel labeled clichés.
Thus, the movie "The
D uff' was made. It is a film
that takes the teen movie
formula (girl doubts looks,
meets up with guy, gets made
over, guy falls for her, they
foil the plot of the school
popular kids, happily ever
after), adds more social media than a naive extrovert's
phone and tops it off with a
dash of inferiority complex
fuel to make it relatable to
those who aren't having a
hard enough time in high
school with their insecurities.
That is of course where
the title comes in. The term
" Duff' is an acronym standing for Designated Ugly, Fat
Friend. Upon hearing the title for the first time during a
commercial, I thought that
a sociopath had somehow
worked their way into leading a producing firm and
this wouldn't have been too
far off. In an era of increasing acceptance of various
bodies and personalities,
the movie proudly waves
about the word as though it
was their own little sadistic
creation. It constantly reminds the protagonist, and
by extension, parts of the
audience, that they should
be in that category or else
be forced to be out of the
totally sick social loop created by the marketing team
and the producers at CBS.
The plot follows Bianca
(Mae Whitman), an easily
impressionable girl who after being called a Duff by her
socially and mentally inept
neighbor Wesley (Robbie
Amell) decides to rid herself
of her well-adjusted childhood friends, Jess (Skyler
Samuels) and Casey (Bianca
Santos) out of fear that she
isn't as attractive as them.
P ^WMM^^^ . i i
In order to "fix" herself, she
approaches Wesley for guidance while she helps him
with his failing grades, to
which he agrees, all the while
being hounded by Wesley's
mentally unstable ex-girlfriend and external antagonist Madison (Bella Thome).
The term external antagonist is mentioned because
though Madison is a bully
the main antagonist in terms
of character development to
Bianca is herself. She believes Wesley and keeps him
around, even falling for him
on a purely physical basis
despite the emotional and
T
f
L
j

k
mental distress he causes
her that kick starts the entire
plot. And it's not as though
she has no one else as her
friends happily accept her
back after the anti-climax
with no negative repercussions for her actions. They
aren't very developed as
characters, but they do something that the entire movie
should have done from the
start: dismiss the sexist acronym as nothing but another social stigma created
to deflect the insecurities of
others. If the credits rolled
after that, I wouldn't feel as
though I wasted my money.

myself reach the potential
by continuing to serve the
university as ASI President,"
Walsh said.
In discussing the main issues Walsh witnesses at
CSUSM, Walsh said, "The
biggest issues that the university and the students have
is that the state government
is not doing its duties. The
California State government
is not properly representing
the students of CSUSM."

If a film or television show
was to be made portraying
the men and women of the
CSUSM University Police
Department, it likely would
not contain many of the
exciting elements seen in
regular mainstream police
dramas. In fact, it probably
wouldn't contain any of the
less entertaining scenes from
a regular episode of "COPS."
Despite the pleasant nature of CSUSM, the UPD is
on guard at all hours, maintaining a secure campus and
keeping an eye on us students. It may not make for
a dramatic television show,
but that begs the question:
which shows or films actually portray police officers in
the most realistic way? Also,
which cop movies or shows
are, so to speak, police-approved?
Police Chief Robert G.
McManus may be the best
man to ask such questions.
Besides being the UPD chief
and holding a police resume
stretching back decades,
McManus majored in film
at SDSU in the 70s. His eye
for film and his lengthy experience as a peace-keeper
makes him an ideal critic for
police dramas.
When asked about police
in film and television, Police
Chief McManus mentioned
the CBS drama "CSI." After investigating a car that
had been broken into, Chief
McManus was asked by the
driver, "Did you get the results?" The victim of the
crime was referring to a false
understanding of the police
process- thinking that' the

Cooper argued that the affect
of being raised by a samesex couple would lead to
emotional injury, regardless
of what children believed.
Supporters of Prop. 8 also
argued that same-sex marriage would harm "responsible procreation," because
same-sex couples would not
be able to reproduce.
Justice Elena Kegan and
Cooper both discussed the
whether the value of marriage lies in procreation or
not, giving examples of marriage being constitutional between couples over the age

that if it involved education,
people would fight for it,"
Walsh said.
As well as representing the
students of CSUSM, Walsh
aims at improving the relationship between the city
of San Marcos and campus.
Walsh said that one of the
successes ASI experienced
last fall was building relationships on campus, having
all the college representatives meeting with the provost and deans so that students
and administration build a
communicative relationship.

The justices agreed that
there are heterosexual marriages that are unable to procreate or decide not to, which
ignited the discussion about
elder couples unable to procreate.
The next argument consisted of discussing labels, with
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Reminding the court
that the word "marriage"
was a label since Calif, has
already made strides in creating equal rights for same-sex
couples.
"It is like you were to say
you can vote, you can travel,
but you may not be a citi-
zen. There are certain labels
in this country that are very,
very critical," Olson said.
With the discussion continuing, the justices considered
issues of when same-sex
marriage became unconstitutional, explored the idea
that same-sex marriage was
"newer than cell phones and
the Internet."
Chief Justice Roberts Jr.
reminded the court that children from same-sex marriages are at no disadvantage
than children of opposite-sex
couples when Donald B . Verrilli stated that the cost was
a lack of a stabilizing effect,
creating the children to develop an emotional issue of
being raised by same-sex"
parents. The argument consisted of the justices each
asking critical questions for
the opponents to consider using history of segregation to
defend their arguments.

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

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

- I % cups of buttermilk (can be made with I 3A cups of milk with a Tsp. and a half of
vinegar, stirred to substitute the buttermilk) - I egg - I Tsp. of vanilla extract
- Whisk & 2 mixing bowls - Baking sheet with wax paper o r Pam cooking spray
Directions:
Turn your oven on to 375 degrees. Hand-whisk the wet ingredients: vanilla extract, egg, buttermilk, and butter
together in a bowl till well blended. Stir the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Then softly stir the wet mixture as you pour in the dry mixture slowly until all of the dry-ingredients are mixed

T he presence of'rape culture' in the Steubenville rape case reaction
B Y KEANDRE W ILLIAMS-CHAMBERS
COPY EDITOR
.«
& K IA W ASHINGTON
STAFF W RITER
Rape culture is this: the social stigma that makes seeking justice for the crime of
rape difficult. It places the
burden of punishment' and
ostracization on the victim
and often makes it difficult
if not impossible for the victim to receive validation that
what they did wasn't their
fault.
Rape culture is getting a
lot of heat to be erased from
the world, especially in light
of the Steubenville, Ohio
rape case where two teen
football players were found
guilty of rape on March 17.
It's certainly high-time to do
away with the pressure on
the victim and to place pressure on the suspect.
Of course, a suspect has
(some) rights. Just as well
as that is said, a victim has

consequences.
Furthermore, while victim
blaming, just like rape, can
be perpetrated by any gender and against any gender,
statistics do state thai most
instances of rape are crimes
against women. This fact
and the prevalence of rape
culture and victim blaming
are not a simple coincidence.
Women are objectified and
victimized during their rape,
then victimized all over
again by society in the aftermath. The crime and following hatred is more than
just violence - it is frank misogyny, and only by offering
basic human decency can
progress b e made. There are
many things that everyone
should do if they are a part of
the community surrounding
any victim when the tragedy
of rape occurs:
D on't make the victim feel
guilty. D on't place the fate
of the suspects' futures in the
hands of the victim. D on't
give the victim the supposed
role in deciding the suspects'
future in the f ull view of a
critical and unsympathetic
public.
It may be hard to imagine
if it hasn't happened to you,
but keep this in mind. The
harsh nature of this case can
be applied to a lot of mirror
scenarios. Imagine you are
just the normal you, going
about your business. Imagine you were robbed on the
street, your wallet or purse
taken from you in broad
daylight. Imagine the police
caught this robber and they
were arrested.
Now, imagine this. You
are called into question.
They ask you why you were
in the position to be robbed
f rom, why you let it happen.
Couldn't you have stopped
it? You should have been
more prepared for something
like that to happen if you

robbers were, they may say.

let with money in it. Perhaps
you wanted your stuff to be
stolen. Perhaps you were
asking for someone to come
along and relieve you of
your things.
Doesn't feel that great,
does it?
Although there are most
likely students who walk
around the CSUSM campus in fear that they might
be raped, no ^student should
have to feel this way, especially on a campus that has
been recognized multiple
times as being so safe. There
is hope that this doesn't happen, and there is hope that
none of us are in danger
of the fear of not being believed when something so
horrible could happen to us.
That is not to say that it will
or is going to. However, we
must be careful.
As much as it needs to be
made clear that rape is not
tolerated in any way, that
still doesn't keep it f rom
happening.

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

caps? Share your opinions at

While many know Way as
the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, he went to
the New York School of
Visual Arts where he developed his artistic and writing
ability before his music.
The series deals with the
lives of an unusual family,
starting with the end of the

businessman, adopted sev-

into the world under the
strangest
circumstances.
Under h l^directioir, t he
group would become superheroes known as the Umbrella Academy. With little

father, a dark plan begins
to end both them and the

Throughout the semester,
the CSUSM Improv team
performs two types of displays for every given show.
These consist of a family
friendly show and an adult
show that follows. Although
the players vary in every
show, one of the main players is Nicole Hernandez, who
has been on the team since
spring 2010. The theater major took the time to sit down
and answer some questions
for us.
Question: What is your favorite thing about being on
the team?
Answer: My favorite thing
about being on the team is
that we're like a fun little
family. It's really great to be
able to spend a lot of time
with them and get to' do fun
things like playing pretend.
Q: What struggles have
you experienced while on the
team?
A: Making sure the momentum keeps going. We'll*
go through stretches of time
where we don't bring in as
much of an audience as we
usually do and that's always
tough to figure out how to
bring people back. And also
making sure that it's able to
continue as more and more
people start graduating.
Q: What do you see yourself doing after college?
A: It would be fun to con- ^
tinue improv. I don't want to
give up on it but I also don't
want to go into it as a career.
I want to either be a theater
teacher or run a theater of my
own.
Q: What is your favorite
skit or perform?
A: My favorite game t o ^
play is Blind Line. It's really*
fun to see what lines the audience comes up with. It's one
of those games that can get
really random and strange.

A triptych fusion of art, literature and music
B Y K ATUN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Chris Wesley, an Altadena,
native, has combined his passions for music, photography
and art to create his first novel "Regret in Triptych." 7 .
"Regret in Triptych" highlights the story of Andros
Koresh, a man searching for
information about the recent
death of his wife. However,
the only person who, m ay
hold the clues he is looking
f or is his ex-girlfriend.
Instead of a storyline based
around the traditional love
triangle, "Regret in Triptych"
focuses on a love square
where the spouses of the
two main characters are also
involved in the story. Much
of the inspiration behind the
novel comes from Wesley's
past experiences and the fact
that his ex-girlfriend is now
his best friend in real life.
"The way [that the main
character Andros] responds
to stuff is very much [like]
me. He thinks the way I do,
although he does things I
wouldn't do. The other characters are composites of certain people I know," Wesley
said.
Art history classes that
Wesley took are what ultimately inspired the title of
the novel.
"The book is three chapters, hence the word 'triptych.' It's kind of playing off
of the historic meaning of
triptych, which is usually in
churches, where a painting is
done in three panels. In this
story, I took that concept of
three panels and three chapters. It begins the story outside in open air, open space,
the second chapter comes
inside the house, the third
chapter goes inside the people," Wesley said.

The April 21 campus celebration devoted to unity through cultural
diversity went smoothly, despite bomb threats from an anonymous email sent by white supremacists.
The event was held on the 6-month anniversary of the October 21
'Teach In." It's purpose was to provide an opportunity for the campus
to "live the mission statement" — to bring the campus community
together in order to perpetuate diversity and unity.
Trio Program Director Calvin One Deer Gavin opened the day
with a blessing, filling in for Native American Elder Henry Rodriguez,
who cancelled.
The event's keynote speaker was Tim Wise, a nationally known
speaker, self proclaimed radical, and trainer specializing in race relations, political movements, and diversity. He started out on a humorous note pointing out punctuation and spelling mistakes in the anonymous e-mail message, which threatened a bomb would be placed on

Taiko drummers fuse cultural sounds
By Jennifer Talak
Pride S taff Writer
Drums, drums and more drums are coming to campus with the group
San Jose Taiko — which takes traditional Japanese music and incorporates contemporary American, jazz, African and Latin styles into it.
P.J. Hirabayashi, founder of the group, explains its music as traditional Japanese drumming that can be understood and appreciated in
today's multicultural world.
Taiko has its roots in the daily life of the common people; priests
used drums to dispel evil spirits; samurai used taiko to instill fear in the
enemy and courage in themselves; peasants used taiko in their prayers
for rain, in festivals and in thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest.
Sam Jose Taiko has taken the essence and voice of the traditional
taiko and infused it with the vitality and freshness of their American
spirits to create a dynamic and new compelling art form. They use the
power and beauty of the Taiko to transcend cultural barriers and foster
greater understanding of Japanese American culture.
The resulting sounds are contemporary, exciting, new and innovative, bridging many styles, while still resonant of the Asian soul in
America.
Traditionally, Taiko was an exclusive male tradition and originally
the group consisted primarily of men. But, over time, more women have

and uniqueness that the world wide web
has for the most part abandoned.
If you're feeling adventurous and in
the mood for an ephemeral journey into
t he world of v isual m etaphor and
postmodern graphic design, I highly recommend THE PLACE website.
But, be warned, this place is not for
the faint of heart, nor for those who use
the Internet as a mindless excuse to put off
homework and/or abandon the outside

THE P LACE, l ocated a t h ttp://

how art and life can coexist on and through
the electronic media. In fact, its purpose is
to explore the so-called "information age,"
and bring to light (and mind) the many, if
not infinite ways, we as individuals use and
perceive the world around us.
Plus, it's simply a cool place to hang
out and marvel at the depth and breadth of
creator Joseph Squire's imagination and
vision.
My favorite feature of THE PLACE,
is a section called "Urban Diary," where
Squire chronicles and dissects the nuances,
issues and themes that compel us in everyday life. Using images as metaphors (not
similes) he beckons us to follow him
through the complexities of his world so
that we might come to understand the complexities and banalities or our own.
"Urban Diary" is a compilation of images, animate and inanimate, set against the
backdrop of graph paper — yeah, the stuff

Last year, at this university based on diversity and understanding, I was insulted because of
my beliefs. My ideals were reduced verbally to
being ridiculous.
So why am I bothered? What should I care
about what one indi vidual thinks of me?
Well, I didn't walk away because I was in
class. And the individual insulting me was the professor.
The class topics for the day were sexually
transmitted diseases, relationships, AIDS statistics and homosexuality. At one point, the professor asked if anyone disapproved of homosexuality.
I have been raised a Christian since birth. And
my beliefs are based on the morals and ideals expressed in Biblical scripture.
I was the only student in class to raise a hand
in answer to the professor's question. And I responded that homosexuality was deemed wrong
in several areas of the B ible:! had no qualms in
expressing that opinion, since this institution of
understanding and shared knowledge prides itself
on the fact that it is acceptable to voice beliefs
without being looked upon as an ignorant deviant.
In my answer to the professor, I did not refer
to homosexuals in any derogatory manner. And I
did not, and do not, advocate the persecution of
homosexuals.
But the professor found what I had to say disturbing and questioned whether I was sure the
Bible said that homosexuality was wrong. He
added that his brother was a homosexual.
The professor dedicated his next class to re-
futing what I had said. He did extensive research
and even brought overhead projector transparencies to class to help illustrate his points. He
capped it off by citing examples from the Bible
which he said clearly disproved its validity. Finally, he added, "The Bible cannot be taken literally."
He did not say this was his opinion. Rather,
he stated it as fact. I later learned that he gave
this same lecture to other classes.
To me, such a statement insults the very core
of what I believe in, not to mention also insulting all those who believe in the Bible. It was a
terrible thing for a professor to do.
Let's say I were to dispute the validity of
the Koran, issuing daily flyers calling it barbaric,
ignorant and nothing to be taken seriously. Instantly, I would be branded a bigot, and perhaps
even kicked off of the university for actions that
ran contrary to its mission statement.
If I were to send e-mail messages to the Associated Students, Inc., criticizing the choice of
a Native American to bless last week's celebration of unity on campus, I certainly would have
been called a racist.
If I were to set up a booth in Founder's Plaza
and pass out literature describing reincarnation
and carma as absurd concepts upheld only by
backward cultures, at the very least I would be
considered ethnocentric.
But the professor who insulted my religious
beliefs several times in front of dozens of students continues to be viewed as an open-minded,
non-biased individual.

After I agreed with her and did a resource

It seems that everyone from students to administrative vice presidents are very quick to pull

Schnabel's
'Basquiat'
a must-see
By Jennifer Talak
Pride Staff Writer
Jean- Michel Basquiat was just another
New York graffiti writer until he was discovered at the age of 19. Overnight, he
became a success, the darling new enterprise for the vultures of the art world. At
the age of 27, he was dead from an overdose of heroin.
The movie "Basquiat" is a poignant
story about a Haitian/ Puerto Rican/American artist (played by Jeffrey Wright) growing up in New York City. Andy Warhol,
played by David Bowie, is the first person
to recognize the brilliance of Jean's art
work. Dennis Hopper p lays Warhol's

Campus leaders look over its
passage, Senator Craven issue
By Roman S. Koenig
No amount of protests against Proposition 187 could stop its passage by voters
Nov. 8.
As of last week, statewide voter support of the initiative was 63 percent, with 37
percent voting no, according to^newspaper reports. Protests against t he measure
were intense state-wide, including a protest march that occurred in San Marcos Nov.
2. The march started at Palomar College and made stops at Cal State San Marcos and
the San Marcos city hall. One protester was injured when she was hit by a car, and
a bystander stopped an American flag from being burned.
The issue caught fire at the same time as a controversy concerning reported
comments by state Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) occurred at CSUSM, in which
the San Diego Union-Tribune quoted the senator as saying t hat Latinos should carry
identification cards to prove citizenship. Incumbent Craven won his seat again Nov.
8, receiving 64 percent of t he vote according to the office of the San Diego County
Registrar of Voters.
Now t hat the initiative has passed, and now that Craven will continue to serve his
local district, CSUSM leaders are looking to the future.
"It's like crying over spilled milk. It's done, and I can't change the will of the
See PASSAGE, page 2
Students from across north San Diego County attended an anti-Proposition 187 protest before the
election. The procession began at Palomar College, and from there marched to San Marcos City
Hall and then to Cal State San Marcos. The protest, like many others like it across the state, did
not sway voters from supporting the measure.

C SUSM student government election produces dismal returns
Associated Students (AS) President Michelle Sadova expressed disappointment
over voting figures for an on-campus special election held Oct. 17 and 18, in which
only 5 percent of the eligible student population cast ballots.
"It does alarm me," she said Nov. 15. "We're such a small campus you'd think it
would matter more.... It's just apathy. That's the bottom line."
Figures released by the Student Activities Office showed t hat for the College of
Arts and Sciences, out of 1,672 eligible voters only 86 voted — 5 percent, according
to Gezai Berhane, student activities adviser. For the College of Business Administration, 6 percent of eligible voters (37) turned out for the election out of 615 total.
For post-baccalaureate students, 16 percent voted — six voters out of 41 who were
eligible. For the College of Education, only one student voted out of 347 eligible
voters, .3 percent.
"That was disastrous," said Berhane concerning the low figure. The 5 percent
across-the-board turnout is "not bad compared to some other institutions where
they have a turnout of 2 or 3 percent," however.
Sadova said it bothered her t hat students often come to the AS to talk about
campus issues but never vote when given the chance. She said that pressing course
work could be a reason for the low number of voters, however.
"I think ofcourse we could do more," Sadova said o fthe AS's efforts to get the word
out to vote. Currently, the AS is working with campus officials to erect a central
posting area where information can be more easily obtained. The AS recently
installed a posting area in the Commons building study lounge, she said.
"These things are happening," she added. "It just takes time" to get momentum
going to t he projects done.
In t he election, Kris Cristensen and Edward Calvillo were elected to serve as postbaccalaureate representatives to the AS council. Kimberly Ambriz was elected as
undergraduate representative. A vote to ratify AS bylaws also passed 89 percent to
11 percent.

this. What will happen from here?
I can't say, and (I) try not to specu-

As for t he issue of removing
Sen. Craven's name from the campus building t hat bears i t, opinions are still split. In fact, the
Associated Students council reversed a previous decision on the
issue Nov. 11. Originally, the council voted not to support the Academic Senate's call for his name's
removal, b ut they chose to support t he Academic Senate in a 5-3
vote a fter a number of students
asked t hat t he issue be looked at
again, explained AS President
Sadova.
University President Stacy said
his support of Craven has not
changed, however.
"Nothing's changed. It continues to be a m atter t hat has been
very punishing to the people on
campus and to t he senator," he
said. "We have a great deal of pain
flowing. ... It seemed to me that
t he proposed cure was out of sync
with t he problem." The University Council, a body made up of
local community members that
acts in lieu of t he CSU Board of
Trustees, voted to support Craven as well, according to Stacy.
"It is u nfortunate t hat one of
our (CSUSM's) staunchest supporters in Sacramento and a pillar of this community would say
something t hat could so easily be
interpreted as blatantly racist,"
countered Martinez. "After these

Students get intense during
first Spanish weekend
Immigration conference Friday
The Center for Multicultural Studies at Cal State San Marcos
is sponsoring a two-day immigration conference Friday and
Saturday (Nov. 18 and 19) entitled "Immigration: The Panic and
the Promise in the United States and Mexico."
The conference will focus on the sweeping changes that are
transforming the social geography of North America, with particular emphasis on the United States-Mexico border region.
Conference participants will present and discuss their research
in pairs — one scholar will focus on Mexico, the other on the
United States. This parallel format is intended to reflect the
parallel interaction that occurs with international migration.
Noted American and Mexican scholars will address such
general themes as growth and crisis in Mexico and the United
States, immigration and emigration, and the transformation of
local economies and communities. Specific topics include "Immigrants as Benefactors and Scapegoats in California's Cycles of
Growth," "The Changing Context ofMexican Immigration to the
United States," "NAFTA and Mexican Migration to the United
States," "Immigrants in High Tech Economy: an Ethnographic
Study of a Mexican Enclave in San Jose" and "Americans View
Their Immigration: Past, Present and Future." All papers submitted at the conference will appear in a bilingual collection to be
published in early 1995.
Also included in the conference is an art exhibit and entertainment by a Mexteco-Zapoteca dance group.
The conference is open to the public. Fees range from $2 for
students to $15 for general admission. Fee waivers are available
for non-profit community service organizations. For registration
forms or further information, call 752-4017.
Curry teaches women's film course
Winter session at Cal State San
Marcos begins J an. 3. The winter
session is a three-week academic program held between t he fall and spring
semesters which provides students an
additional^ opportunity to complete
degree requirements and gives members of the community who are not
enrolled in the university the opportunity to take credit classes.
One of the courses, women before
and behind the camera, a highly-regarded course taught by Dr. Renee
Dr. Renee Curry
Curry, is being offered for the first
time to the public at large on a non-credit basis. Members of the
general public can join students enrolled in the class, view a
dozen great films, and participate fully in the discussions and
activities without being required to complete any assignments.
The course will be divided into two units: "Women Stars and the
Star System in Hollywood" and "International Women Directors." The class will meet Tuesday through Friday from 6 to 9:50
p.m. during the three-week session. The total cost for the noncredit series will be $150.
Among the 27 classes being offered are computer masteiy,
criminology, postmodern film & fiction, renaissance literatures,
aging & society and introduction to women's studies. These
offerings are in addition to general courses in business administration and education.
The registration fee for credit courses is $105 per unit.
Parking and student fees are an additional $27. Registration for
all courses will take place Dec. 5-9.
For more information on Curry's class call 752-4038. For
additional information on credit classes call 752-4051.

Twenty participants took part
in the first Intensive Spanish
Weekend recently hosted by the
Cal State San Marcos College of
Arts & Sciences/Program in Foreign Languages under the direction of professors Dr. Francisco
Martin and Dr. Darci Strother.
The objective of the weekend
was to provide participants with
an affordable opportunity to learn
and experience Spanish full-time
for the duration of the weekend.
From the time participants arrived on Friday to the time they
left on Sunday, they were expected
to speak only Spanish.
Unlike similar programs, this
program was held locally at the
San Clemente Youth Hostel,
thereby eliminating costly travel
time and expenses. The accommodations included two large
sleeping areas with bunk beds
along with large dining and living
: areas*, The cost of the weekend
was $60, which included meals
and accommodations.
Activities of the weekend included music, dancing, games, discussion groups, Spanish workshops and participant presentations. At the San Clemente beach,
frisbee, a water balloon catch and
other activities were held along
with a bonfire and shish kebab.
Participants also hat the option to
attend Spanish mass at a local
church.

Students involved in Cal State San Marcos's first Intensive Spanish Weekend
participate in a balloon toss at San Clemente beach.
Students who took part in the
weekend gave special recognition
to Martin and Strother for the
success of the program.
"The intensive Spanish weekend was fantastic," noted student
Patricia Hubbs. "Professor Martin and Professor Strother were
extremely well-organized and
worked very hard. There was a
wonderful combination of work
and play."
"Professor Martin and Professor Strother did an outstanding
job," added Cheryl Viertel, another
participant. "Not only was the
weekend highly organized and tremendously helpful with my com-
munication skills, it wasjust plain
fun."
Each participant received a
certificate of completion from the
professors at the end of the weekend.
"The weekend was great. We
all had fun cooking, playing games
and working together," said Cori
Gustine. "I learned a lot and look
forward to the next one."
More Intensive Spanish Weekends are planned for next semester, but space is limited. Those
interested can call the Office of
Community Education at 7524018.
System-wide enrollment encouraging
California State University
(CSU) officials have expressed
optimism that they can come close
to meeting their goal ofincreasing
enrollment by 2,500 full-time
equivalent students (FTES) for
the year, after fall figures showed
a stabilization of the system's enrollment picture for thefirsttime
since massive budget reductions
began in 1991.
Overall, total enrollment for
t he system stands at 319,394,
down from 325,639 (1.9 percent)
in fall 1993. Total FTES for the
system stands at 244,812, down
from 247,513 (1.1 percent) last
fall. The major portion of the decline — over 70 percent — occurred at Cal State Northridge,
which is still attempting to recover from January's devastating
e arthquake. Fall FTES, with
Northridge excluded, is down by
802 (.3 percent).
"Although enrollment is down
very slightly, the patterns of enrollment reveal a healthier bal-
ance between enteringand graduating classes. We expect CSU campuses will be in a strong position
for spring admissions," said Executive Vice Chancellor Molly
Corbett Broad.
Several campuses showed notable increases over fall 1993: San
Francisco State (up 507 FTES),
Cal State Los Angeles (up 456
FTES), San Diego State (up 400
FTES) and Cal State San Marcos
(up 314 FTES).
Particularly good news in the
enrollment picture is t hat for the
first time since fall 1988, the CSU
system enrolled a first-time freshmen class that was larger than the
previous fall's. The fall 1994 CSU
first-time freshman class should
finalize its count at j ust over
25,000, some 2,000 to 3,000 more
students than fall 1993 figures.
This year 43,000 s tudents
graduated in the spring and summer (representing approximately
14 percent of all the students enrolled last spring). This is the largest percentage of spring semester
students to graduate in some time,
and more than campuses had originally anticipated. This made room
to open CSU doors to more Californians for fall 1994. In addition
to the increase in first-time freshmen, just under 37,000 new undergraduate transfers enrolled,
some 1,000 more than in fall 1993.
"We have accomplished our
goals for readjusting enrollment
in light of the drastic budget cuts
we sustained and are now recovering our momentum," added
Broad. "We are optimistic about
our ability to serve qualified applicants to the CSU. We are offering more classes and students are
responding and graduating. That
should signal good news for potential students, their families and
ultimately the state's employers,
since the CSU is the major provider of the state's college-educated work force."

national women's sorority) were officially
pledged into the national organization Nov.
5. On campus, t he members were formerly
known as Key College Opportunities.
Collegiate members from the Alpha Xi

Each year hundreds of articles are written expressing t he seriousness and the reality of job availability to college graduates,
such as "Just How Welcome is the Job
Market to College Grads?" in BusinessWeek
magazine (Koretz, Nov. 9,1992) or "More
College Graduates Maybe Chasing Fewer
Jobs" in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly (Shelley, summer 1992).
These articles help validate the fact t hat
having a degree does not guarantee employment. So what can you do to increase
your chances for success in the job search
process?
Many college students think about their
ideal job, but only a few students know how
to successfully look for one. Listed below
are a few helpful hints for obtaining t hat
ideal job.
•Begin your job search three to six
months in sfdvance or up to 12 months for
government jobs.
• Know yourself and your options. How
does your education and/or experience
qualify you for t he job?
•Know what is important to you, like
the type of work, your responsibilities, the
work environment, your title, money, security, work schedule, advancement, opportunities, interaction with others, etc.
• Do your homework. How much do you
know about t he position and/or the company where you are applying? Find out as
much as possible through research and
networking.
• Know your resources to find a job. The
Career Center, library, publications, or
networking with faculty, professors, family
and friends are options.
• Prepare your paperwork. Create a targeted resumS, cover letter, portfolio and
contact references.
Many of t he above suggestions seem
r ather simple, but they can prove to be
helpful. To improve on your success in
finding ajob, stop by t he Career Center and
talk to one of t he counselors. The Career
Center is a valuable resource and services
are free to enrolled students. Check it out

Campo landfill isn't the
The system still works answer
With all of its problems, I was nonetheless reassured this November 8 t hat
our governmental system is still of, by
and for the people.
In 1992, the voters elected Bill Clinton
president, on t he promise t hat he would
bring change. Two years later, after
realizing t hat his was not t he kind of
change they wanted, t he people then
overhauled t he Congress, whose House
had been Democrat occupied since 1954,
and whose Senate had been controlled
by said party for 48 of t he last 60 years.
This time around, t he voters wanted
change from t he long-time one party
domination, so they went out and got it;
and in doing so, they took some pretty
big names down with them: potential
Democratic Senate leader Jim Sasser,
governors M ario Cuomo a nd Ann
Richards, House Speaker Tom Foley,
former Ways and Means Chairman Dan
Rostenkowski, and Mike Synar, who lost
in the primary.
When certain politicians let it be
known t hat they were too corrupt for
their own good, they got the boot.
Rostenkowski, seekinghis 19th term,
was up to his neck in t he House bank
scandal, and had taken tax dollars for
personal needs, was promptly removed
from office by his constituents.
Foley's state, Washington, had put
term limits on him in 1992. In the
height of arrogance, he sued his own
bosses over this. So for the first time
since 1860, a sitting House Speaker was
voted out of office. So much for term
limits.
At a town hall meeting in his Oklahoma district a few months ago, Synar
actually told his constituents, "You just
don't get it," to which someone in the
audience replied, "No, you don't get it."
GREG HOADLEY
He then lost his primary to a 71-year
old, whose campaign headquarters were
in his basement.
So, politically speaking, these recent
elections could not have gone more perfectly for the GOP, who didn't lose a
single gubernatorial or congressional
incumbent.
They also won the Senate without
the help of their two most controversial
candidates, Michael Huffington and
Oliver North. Granted, both cam very
close to winning, but in our system, it's
winner take all, so close doesn't count.
To add icing to t he cake of new majority leader Bob Dole, t he conservative
Democrat Richard Shelby switched parties. This is fitting for Shelby, who
voted t he Republican line more often
anyway. It was becoming too apparent
to him t hat the Democrats didn't have a
place for him in their party.
Critics of t he Republicans will say
t hat they promised too much to get
elected (i.e., balance t he budget, but
raise military spending and cut taxes).
So what should we do about this?
Well, over the next two years, let's hold
the members of t he Republican controlled Congress' feet to t he fire, but at
the same time give them the benefit of
the doubt. If they don't produce, they
they should probably get the boot we
just gave the Democrats. This will show
our government, once again, who really
owns the country.

Dear Editor:
In my opinion,San Diego's trash problem is a terrible crisis and to think that any
landfill project could do more than prolong
the inevitable dilemma is folly. The Campo
Band of Mission Indians cannot help San
Diego citizens, though their desire to do so
is meritorious.
We residents of San Diego, and many
other quickly growing communities like
our own, must change the very way t hat we
view "waste." We need to implement new
programs t hat will treat our waste so t hat
it may be reduced, reused and recycled and
we must not fall into the t rap of calling
upon our kind neighbors to store our garbage on their already diminished lands.
Truly, I wonder at t he wisdom of t he
tribal elders t hat would invite San Diego
County waste management crews to allow
the tidal wave of our garbage to flood onto
their reservation. Haven't t he Federal and
State governments taken enough from t he
tribes; must we reduce their remaining
lands to trash heaps as well? I fear for the
young of this tribe. What will happen when
San Diego's waste seeps into their drinking
water? Will this landfill amount to another
gift of pestilent blankets t hat we use to
further weaken t he tribes?
Their brochure promises me t hat my
joining with will not cost me a thing; I
PUBLIC FORUM
respond, with my belief, t hat it would cost
the tribe their health and would cost me my
good conscience. As to your argument t hat
this landfill will assure the tribe jobs and
financial stability, I would invite you and
your tribe to look to the works of your
brothers and sisters who enjoy the receipts
of their casinos. I encourage you to use
your guile to secure a future for your children and their children rather t han expending your last and finest resource, t he
Earth, in a gamble t hat will, most likely,
end in the poisoning of your people, physically and spiritually. This landfill is not t he
answer to your bright f uture but a deadly
t rap t hat has been wrongfully sold to you
and which you, now, are tryingto sell to me.
I wish you and your tribe health and a
long life of peace in this world. And I do not
wish to store my garbage on or in our sacred
Earth.

Wonders of ginseng are
misleading
A recent Pride article on the Health and
Fitness page about the "magical powers" of
ginseng caught my eye (November2,1994).
Although I am not familiar with scientific
studies of ginseng and its components, l am
suspicious and somewhat worried about
the claims made for it in the article, especially as no evidence for the various claims
was presented.
Controversy surrounds many drugs
whose efficacy and safety have been tested
extensively by pharmaceutical companies
and medical schools under the watchful eye
of the Food and Drug Administration. I
would therefore be very surprised if there
did not also exist much controversy about
the safety or beneficial effects of ginseng, a
complex natural product which has not
gone through such thorough study. I am
disappointed t hat neither opposing views
nor scientific evidence about t he safety or
beneficial effects of ginseng was presented
i n the article.
I encourage consumers to be highly skeptical oft he claims made by t he manufactur-
ers, distributors and sellers of "traditional
medicines" and "health foods," and to accept such claims only when sound evidence
for their safety and benefits is presented.
Although it is true t hat many valuable
medications have been derived from "traditional medicines," these are most safe
and effective when t he active ingredients
are isolated, studied and prescribed in controlled dosages by a physician who understands their physiological effects. Many of
the'"natural" products on the market do no
good; a few do no good and are later found
to do harm, as well. Perhaps the greatest
harm is done when people with a real medical problem choose to treat their problem
with an ineffective "traditional" or "natural" remedy instead of getting effective
help from a qualified medical professional.

The facts about
Influenza
In our beautiful Southern California it is difficult to tell that winter is
just around the corner. With winter
comes the first round of respiratory
viruses and eventually true influenza
commonly call the "flu". True influenza is a viral respiratory infection
that strikes suddenly with high fever,
bodyaches, frequently severe headache
(especially around the eyes) dry hacking cotigh and ofter respiratory symptoms. Most young healthy adults will
be able to recover from the infection
without much problem except missing
a few days of classes or work. For
others who are considered "high risk",
the illness can be very serious with
pneumonia and a long recovery being
prominent.
To prevent this potentially serious
illness each year an Influenza "Flu"
vaccine is developed. It changes each
year because although the clinical illness doesn't change the virus does.
Viruses are very sneaky microbes. By
the way, there are two (2) significant
influenzaviruses,A&B. Type A causes
the most severe illness. The vaccine
this year protects against 2 viruses of
the A type and one of the B type. The
best time to get the vaccine is essentially now through November because
it often takes a few weeks to develop
antibodies after vaccination. The immunity then lasts at its highest level
for approximately three (3) months.
As with many preventive health
practices people don't avail themselves
to their benefits. One reason frequently
given is that influenza is a nuisance
illness. As previously stated it is very
serious for high risk people and can
strike even healthy people quicklycausing pneumonia. Also, it is a major
factor in loss of school and work days.
Secondly, people all too often have
heard stories about reactions that
mostly are not true and frequently
greatly exaggerated. Studies have demonstrated almost the same reported
effects with vaccine or placebo (placebo being not an active vaccine). Also,
the newer vaccines are purer and more
sophisticated. The only true
//
//
$
m
/
contraindication not to receive the vaccine is a serious allergy to eggs because
the viruses used to create the vaccine
are grown in egg cell-culture.
Who should d efinitely receive t he v accine i.e. t he
high-risk groups? T hey are
as follows:
1. People with chronic lung or heart
disease. This includes persons with
asthma-which includes many collegeage students.
2. People with chronic metabolic
disease such as diabetes, kidney disease or people who are immunosuppressed.
3. People over the age of 60.
4. People who are capable of transmitting flu to high-risk patients such
as
a. Health care workers - including non professionals who work
with or provide services to high-risk
patients
b. Persons living in the same
household with high-risk patients
Also, although not considered highrisk, people who provide essential community services should contemplate
vaccination. In my mind this would
include teachers, teachers' aids, preschool teachers, counselors, etc. Many
college-age students work in these areas.
Student Health Services will be offering the Influenza Vaccine through
November to both high-risk and other
patients until supplies run out. They
are offered free to students. Ifyou have
any questions or requrie further information call 752-4915.

Liquid Groove—local band in demand
Liquid Groove emerged almost two years
ago as one of t he brightest lights on t he
horizon of San Diego's proliferating music
scene. This dynamic* "counter-alternative" four-piece band fuses sensual, gutwrenching vocals, powerful, standout bass
line, catchy, upbeat drums, percussion,
hook-laden, rhythmic guitar, and some of
the best songwriting you've ever heard, to
create a totally distinctive sound of their
own. Liquid Groove's music speaks for
itself. Theirs is an exciting formula that
includes compelling, "talked about" live
performances and adventurous, unbridled
songs—a powerful artistic force t hat adds
a new dimension to, and challenges the
structure of, today's contemporary music'.
Liquid Groove is currently performing a t clubs, coffeehouses, parties, and
special events throughout Southern
California ( ie. San Diego MTV Spring
Break, S.D. Civic t heater, Belly Up,
Casbah, Bodie's, and other locales in
Orange and Los Angeles Counties.
Floyd Rose, their manager, says,
"Liquid Groove has the potential to go
as far as you can go in the industry—
straight to the top. There's no limit.
I t's going to happen; i t'sjustamatterof

60 Receive Youth
Service Awards
in Outdoor
Ceremony
CSUSM honored 60 young people,
their parents, and sponsors, at the President's
Youth Service Awards Thursday, April 19
in an outdoor ceremony which took place on
the staircase next to Craven Hall. Youths
were recognized for their volunteer and leadership efforts to make North County a better
place.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House Office of
National Service and the Corporation of
National and Community Service.
Because of CSUSM's commitment to
community service, the University was authorized to assist in identifying those young
people whose volunteer efforts are a model
for all. Each year CSUSM honors young
people, ages 5-22, with the President's
Awards or the National Award to recognize
meaningful service to the community.
The awards, presented by Provost Richard Millman, were in four age categories:
5-8 years, 9-13 years, 14-17 years, and 1822 years. The awards were designed to
recognize voluntary, non-paid, community
service and to recognize hands-on service.
Criteria used—exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic.
The National Awards honor students
who demonstrate meaningful community
service accomplished at a level slightly less
exacting than the President's Award. Recipients receive a sculpted pin which carries
the Great Seal of the United States along
with a handsomely designed certificate that
is signed by President Clinton.

With the Associated Student Elections
for the 1994-95 school year are coming up on
May 2 and 3, the following are statements
made by various candidates running for
office:
Neil A. Rombardo
My name is Neil A. Rombardo. I am
majoring in Economics, and am interested in
serving as A.S. undergraduate representative-at-large. I currently serve on the University Gloval Affairs Committee and the Recreation Committee. I would like to further
serve the students of CSUSM. The most
important issue to the students is strengthening the university's growing reputation. A
strong reputation will increase the university's
enrollment, and place graduates in higher
demand. If elected, I will continue the Associated Student Go vernment's commitment to
excellence.
Brittany Crist
I wish to run for representative of the

reasons: I have past experience in student
government at both the high school and junior college level. As a Political Science
major, I have acquired an understanding in

leader within a Greek social/service organization, I know what it takes to be a team
player and how to get things done. I am
committed to seeing the quality of student life
improve at CSUSM. As you president, I
pledge to maintain an active presidency which

least once a month where students could
voice their concerns on campus issues.

Fourth graders take first
step to college
CSUSM will hold its first "I'm Going to
College" day on April 29. 160 Fourth
graders from Palomar Elementary School
will get a sample of what college life is like
on the CSUSM campus.
By simulating the first day at the university, the program seeks to increase the number of low-income and minority students
going to college. Studies show a need to
begin preparing and encouraging students
at an early age, particularly students whose
parents never attended college. "I'm Going
to College" targets fourth graders and their
parents, to create an awareness of college
opportunities and their potential as future
college students.

Mandatory Health Services
Fee
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Many of you are aware of the major
budget problems the CSU system has been
facing over the past few years. However, you
may not be aware of the major funding problems for Student Health Services within the
CSU system that have occurred in the past
few years. There have been drastic reductions in funding and a few of the larger health
services were very close to having to cease
operations.
The Student Health Advisory Board has
asked that I write an article to discuss the
history of the funding problems and how
other campuses have moved to alleviate the
problem. The vast majority of campuses
have instituted a mandatory Health Services
Fee. This fee should not be confused with the
$3 Health FacilitiesFeealreadyinplace. The
Health Facilities Fee does not contribute to
ongoing operations of the Student Health
Service. This f ee is controlled by the
Chancellor's Office can only be used for
building or renovation of CSU Health Services.
Actually, 17 of the 20 campuses have a
mandatory Health Fee ranging from $20 to
$59 per semester in 1993/94. This fee accounts for 40% to 100% of the funding for
Student Health Services throughout the system. This mandatory fee allows for at least
basic services to be continued at all the campuses and at some it allows for augmented or
special services to be performed at no additional charge. Itisalsoofinteresttonotethat
throughout the country, Health Services Fees
are at a much higher level. A recent survey
revealed an average fee of $84 per semester.
Here at CSUSM we have been fortunate
that even in the face of decreasing budget
throughout the system, the University has
continued to grow. The planners also were
able to anticipate a need for Student Health
Services and provided funding for space,
equipment, and the initial staff to provide
services. The result is, I believe, a very nice
facility appropriately equipped and providing high quality primary care and preventive
health services. Likewise, we continue to
provide and develop campus-wide health
education including a Peer Health Education
program.
At this time, the funding projection for
CSUSM Student Health Services for 1994/
95 will be at the same level as 1993/94. In
order to provide the same level of service as
well as to continue expanding services, a
mandatory Student Health Fee is necessary.
The Student Health Advisory Board has endorsed the concept of this fee, Theywantthe
general student population to be informed.
An open forum on this matter will be held on
Tuesday, May 3rd from 3 PM to 4:30 PM in
ACD305.
Student Health Services has received consistent praise for its programs and services by
students. Student Health Services exists to
provide high quality primary care and preventive services and encourages high level
student involvement in those services. We
encourage you to become familiar with Student Health Services and utilize the services
you are funding. If you have questions address them to the Student Health Advisory
Board or myself, Joel Grinolds, MD, by calling 752-4915.

Most people d on't realize how lucky we
are to live in the age where counting fat
grams corresponds with the explosion of fatfree products available today. Back in my
mother's day being on a diet consisted of
boring and bland foods such as melba toast,
cottage cheese, and celery-YUCK!
I am a connoisseur of fat-free foods that
tantalize the taste buds. I am forever searching for a new exciting product that I can
promote to my friends. Of all the products I
have tried, certain ones stand out above the
rest and I would like to pass this information
on to you. Here is a little backround . . .
A person's diet should consist of about
20-30 grams of fat per day and not any more.
The logic behind watching fat grams is that
gram for gram, fat has more calories than
protein or carbohydrates. A gram of fat is 9
calories while a gram of carbohydrates is just
4 calories. This definitely makes a difference
when you add up the calories. The bottom
line is to consume the equivalent or less than
the calories expended. Since carbohydrates
are lower in calories, they help to keep caloric
count down. The body stores carbohydrates
in the muscles for up to 36 hours so they don't
have to be utilized immediately. Finally,
another fact in favor of carbohydrates is that
it takes 32 steps for the body to turn carbohydrates into fat whereas fat is only three small
steps to the thighs.
One word of caution when you begin the
journey into fat-free heaven—watch out for
consuming too many empty calories. Some
foods are low in fat and high in nutrients
whereas other foods are low in fat and void of
nutrients. These empty-calorie foods make
great alternatives for high-fat snacks and desserts but should not be a part of a daily diet.
So here it goes...My favorite yogurt is
made by Yoplait Light. It is only 90 calories
a serving and is so creamy that you feel guilty.
Some of the betterflavorsare tropical banana
and apricot mango. Yoplait also makes a
crunch light which has fun toppings like
granola.
As far as snacks go, if you haven't tried
Louis' baked tortilla or potato chips you will
be in for a nice surprise. They come in many
flavors like ranch or barbecue. Be careful
because you can't stop at just one. Pretzels
have always been low or fat free and Harry's
sourdough are spectacular!
Often oil-free salad dressings don't do
much to liven up lettuce, but I found two that
do. Bernstein's makes a line of 98 percent fat
free salad dressings that are packed with
pizazz. Try the Parmesan Ranch. S&W
Vintage Light blush wine vinaigrette is light
and tangy and tastes homemade.
For the sweet tooth in all of us, Antenna's
Double Fat Free Fudge Brownies are soooo
delicious! These would cure any chocolate
craving. Snack Well's lowfat cookie assortments are also good. My favorite are the new
double fudge. Don't forget to try Nabisco's
fat free Fig Newton that also comes in fruit
flavors such as cranberry.
It was difficult limiting some of my favorite fat-free products but it is a start. I hope the
items mentioned pave the path to healthier
eating. Afinalword of caution—always look
at the fat and calorie count in regards to
serving size. Often times, manufacturers like
to suggest false claims. The USDA is working on new regulations for labeling so that the
serving size and claims will be realistic and
resemble the truth. ENJOY!!

�So what's a dumpster dive, anyway?
Ivalee Clark
Director Support Services
To promote the awareness of the recycling program,
the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, together
with Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, sponsored a
"Dumpster Dive," more formally known as a waste characterization, on March 10. Even though CSUSM has an
aggressive recycling program in place, the "dive" was held
to see how CSUSM's model university recycling program is
working and to possibly identify additional items which can
be diverted from going to the landfill.
Approximately 50 participants gathered for pizza and
cokes prior to sorting through the trash. The group was
divided into teams of three.. two sorted and one wrote down
items being found in the trash. Containers for recovered
recyclables were available along with trash cans to categorize the actual waste products. When the sorting was
completed, the categorized materials were weighed.
Here is what we found:

OBSERVATIONS
AND RESOLUTIONS
Addition of conveniently located mixed paper containers in the Dome Cafe where students study ; recommend paper
shredders in offices that generate confidential material; consider putting recycling containers in the parking lots; and,
evaluate the use of paper containers in Food Services.
The dumpster dive was a tremendous success, and a lot
of fun as you can see. Waste characterization training was
accomplished in addition to the University receiving excellent exposure in the community.
Together we have. . .and will continue to make a
difference!

Cliche in the Classroom
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The Vista Unified School District has garnered nationwide publicity, first for requiring a
discussion of creationism in science classrooms
that teach evolution, and now for supporting the
controversial Sex Respect curriculum. Sex Respect is a program where students in health classes
are taught the Value of abstinence and the dangers
of premarital sex. Slogans such as "Do the right
thing, wait for thering,""Pet your dog, not your
date," and "Control your urging, be a virgin" are
the educational cornerstones of the Sex Respect
policy. Condoms or other forms of birth control
are downplayed as dangerous and not worth discussing.
Deidre Holliday, theringleaderof the group
of three conservative Christians (including Gregy
Tyndall and Joyce Lee) that makes up the majority
of the board, has been viciously attacked in the
local press and a recall effort is underway to
remove all three from the board in a November
vote. The Vista Teachers Union, though reticent
to jump into the fray, recently voted overwhelmingly to support the recall. Signatures are being
collected, and it should soon be clear whether or
not the issue will go before a public vote.
What in the world has happened to the
sleepy, retirement community of Vista? Long
renowned for a fine public school system that
consistently produced high AP pass and college
acceptance rates, the Vista Unified School District
has suddenly become a nationwide symbol of
religious political activism that blurs the separation between church and state. A recall effort will
be costly andrisky,but it is undeniably necessary
to preserve not only the national reputation of the
Vista School District but also the future of Vista's
children.
Holliday was elected in 1990 in what many
have characterized as a "stealth" campaign that
focused on area churches and religious gatherings
and eschewed traditional candidate forums. At the
time of her election, I was a Vista High senior and
Editor of the school paper and had the opportunity
Letters to the Editor
Conroy's Comments on
Illegals Refreshing
Dear Editor:
Thanksforrunning the letter from Assemblyman Mickey Conroy about his bill to
prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in state
universities and colleges. This was a refreshing change in news coming from CSUSM
recently. The problem of illegal aliens is
severe. Some facts:
• According to a recent report by SDSU
professors for State Seantor Bill Craven,
illegals cost county taxpayers a net of $244
million yearly for courts, schools, welfare
and other benefits. Craven is to be commended for issuing this report.
• Illegals are the fastest growing segment
of state and federal prisoners.
• It costs state taxpayers over $600 million to educate illegals each year; Mountain
Empire schools were recently found by the
state auditor to have fraudulently enrolled
hundreds of Mexican nationals.
• Illegals yearly receive over $800million
in fraudulent medical payments, according to
a report from the County MediCal Fraud task
force; yet Americans are turned away.
Our nation must defend its borders, it it is
to remain a sovereign nation.

Questions Witnesses to
"Conduct"
Dear Editor:
In regards to your article, "Conduct
Unbecoming a Faculty Member... or anyone
to interview Holliday. Though little was known of
her at the time, there were intense murmuring
about her Christian leanings. I found her to be
extremely polite and thoughtful, answering questions with articulate, intelligent responses. She
insisted that she wanted only to leave sex education up to individual families, and to confine
schools to teaching educational basics. She did
nothing to hide her Christian faith. I had the
impression that Mrs. Holliday was not a religious
radical but a passionate, moderate citizen.
I was wrong. The actions of the school
board in the past 4 years indicate beyond a shadow
of a doubt that beneath that gentle facade lurks an
unavowed enemy of public education with no
respect for cultural diversity, the scientific community, the professional judgment of hard-working teachers, or the Constitution. Contrary to
Holliday's stated aim of leaving moral education
up to individual families, the board has engaged in
exactly the kind of cultural arrogance and narrowminded hypocrisy that it should be the aim of any
decent liberal education to abolish.
The logic behind the Sex Respect policy is
even more dangerous. At a time when teen pregnancy and the fatal threat of AIDS make irresponsible attitudes towards sexual activity potentially
deadly, it is preposterous to cloak a discussion
about teenage sexuality in this kind of
simpleminded, cliched moralism. Students need
straight answers and clearheaded advice, not
preaching and condescension. Abstinence should
certainly be presented as the only sure way to
avoid AIDS or pregnancy, but it is morally repugnant to avoid a detailed discussion of methods of
birth control at a time when the propert use of a
condom could very easily mean the difference
between life and death.
This is not to say that Holliday and her hit
squad are not well-intentioned. But the Vista
School Board has unfortunately chosen the tools
of exclusion, religious bigotry and fear. The citizens of Vista should spare no time nor expense at
putting an immediate stop to this illegal, immoral
and unethical political escapade. Nothing less
than the future of our children depends upon it.
else," I question how many people were witness to this occurrence. I also wonder whose
decision it was to print Dr. Seleski's name,
and was there any effort contacting Dr. Seleski
before publication to confirm the story?
Though I do not condone rude behavior
on the part of faculty, staff and students, I
question the adversarial tone of the article.
For example, "Seleski said she knew why it
(Lexis/Nexis) was down, but continued to
complain." This statement is vague and lends
no information to the article other than to
slander Dr. Seleski.
If I, a casual reader, can pick out the
bias in this article, what would the average
San Marcos citizen think of this university. I
hope you take this into consideration when
you publish other critical articles about faculty, staff and students.

lecture. Another time, in a different class, a
student basically told the teacher to get on
with the lecture.
Firstly, these comments are not only
uncalled for, but reflect badly on the student
body. A student who has yet to achieve a
bachelor's degree has a lot of nerve commenting on the performance of a person who
has obtained Ph.D. caliber.
Secondly, these comments create an
embarrassing atmosphere in class. These
teachers have to "suck it up" in the interest of
professionalism, but it obviously hurts their
feelings. Not only that, but the more considerate students feel the need to apologize for
the rude behavior of these people.
We hope hope this letter will make
students think twice about their behavior in
class and give professors the respect they
warrant.

CSUSM will host its second annual
Multicultural Student Leadership Conference, "Leadership: Making It Happen," on Saturday, April 30, on the
CSUSM campus, 8:30 AM to 3 PM.
j
"If we are to have the type of leadership which we need for the 21 st century,
we must begin preparing those leaders
today," notes Dr. Richard Millman, Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs at CSUSM. "It is for that reason
we continue to sponsor a conference
which promotes student excellence
through developing leadership skills."
Minority students have nearly closed
the gap with their white counterparts in
earning high school diplomas. However,
college graduation rates have remained
inordinately low for students of color,
according to the American Council on
Education's status report on minorities
in higher education.
The conference will bring together
ISOstudent leaders fromNorth County's
^
under-represented groups to participate in a
series ofmotivational and developmental workshops. The conference is designed to develop
and enhance their leadership skills and to expose the students to minority leaders from the
community.
Maria Velasquez, KFMB (Channel 8) TV
personality, will be this year's keynote speaker,
The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference workshops will be presented by community leaders from various professions addressing such topics as "What Makes aLeader, How
do Leaders Communicate, What Are the Responsibilities of Leadership, and Your Dream
is Possible." Workshop presenters will inelude: Minerva Gonzalez, Director of Financial Aid, Palomar College; and Terry Johnson,
Deputy Mayor, City of Oceanside.
The conference is free and open to all
under-represented high school students. For
registration information, call the Student Affirmative Action Program at 752-4870 or Fax

�"La Perla," a Haunting Tale of Homeland and Family
Ernesto Ravetto, noted San Francisco actor and artistic director
of Theatre Adelante, will give a one-man show, La Perla (The Pearl), at
CSUSM. Set in the plains and cities of Argentina, La Perla is a tale of
memory and yearning that unfolds with seductive energy. At the center
of La Perla is a search for family, a search for history, and a search for
love: searches that reveal not only truths of the heart but also truths
about the land that is Argentina.
La Perla was inspired by the actor's return to his homeland after
a 20-year absence. Ravetto's return to Argentina began as a quest to
learn more about an aunt that he never knew; but while there, he
encountered both the truths of love and the loss that continue to haunt
his own family and the pain of memory and silence that continues to
haunt the politics of contemporary Argentina. From these experiences,
Ravetto and co-author Cheyney Ryan, fashioned a complex and enigmatic tale that speaks to the experience of us all.
La Perla will be performed on Friday, April 22 at 7 PM in ACD
102. Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission.
Tickets may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730),
or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).
For more information call 752-4945.

drums.
Wofford has been a highly respected name in jazz for several decades. He
entered the Los Angeles jazz scene in the late '50s with the legendary Lighthouse
All-Stars, the bands of Shelly Manne, Teddy Edwards, Chet Baker, Zoot Sims, and
many others.
Over the years, Wofford recorded and appeared with many of the, biggest
naihes in jazz. Vie was conductor and accompanist for Sarah Vaughan, and is

�Photo Exhibit
Features Jazz
Artists
The CSUSM library will feature a photographic exhibit by M. Lea Rudee from April
22 to June 22. The photographs of local and
visiting jazz musicians were taken during
performances in San Diego.
Mr. Rudee, who served on the San Diego
Jazz Festival's board of directors, took some
of the photos in night clubs, but most were
taken at performances of either the SD Jazz
Festival or the Jazz Society of Lower California. Rudee stated that, "Photography and
jazz have artistic elements in common. Of all
musical forms, jazz places the highest emphasis on instantaneous, intuitive improvisation. The term 'instrument of intuition',
which has been used to describe the camera
could just as well apply to the jazz soloist.
The exhibit is located in the university
library, on the third floor of Craven Hall.
Please join the Library Arts Committee at a
reception for the opening of Rudee's show .
Jazz musicians Gunnar Biggs, John Harris
and Bob Boss will play jazz in the library's
courtyard on Friday, April 22 from 3:15 to
3:45 PM. The reception is from 3-4:30. The
25-photo exhibit celebrates local and visiting
jazz musicians.
The exhibit is free and open to the public
during regular library hours: Mon.-Thur. 8 AM
to 9 PM, Fri. 8AM to 4 PM, and Sat. 10AM to
4PM. For more information, call Marge
Hohenberger 752-4350.

Perform on April 24
As part of the Bank of Americia P iano.
Series, Peter Gach will perform the works of
Bill Bradbury and Karol Szymanowski in a
piano concert on April 24, at 3 PM in ACD
102.
Gach, who currently serves as the chair of
Palomar College's music department/regularly gives premiere performances of works
by contemporary composers, many of which
have been written for him. His Polish background has led him to the music of Chopin, as
well as other Polish composers such as Karol
Szymanowski.
Gach has performed extensively throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. His concerts
were featured on radio and television in Poland, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
After earning degrees in piano and Slavic
languages, Gach completed his doctorate at
the University of Arizona. During his postgraduate studies, Gach studied at the Warsaw
Conservatory with the internationally renowned Chopin authority, Jan Ekier.
Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and
$5 for general admission. Tickets may be
purchased at the University Store, by phone
(752-4730), or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).

While stainless steel tables and a stainless countertop sound kind of cold* there's
a definite coziness and warmth here. Perhaps i t's the soft halogen lighting or the
cozy corner where you can sit back on a
chaise lounge as you browse through some
interesting magazines and newspapers. Or
maybe it's the smiling faces and warmth
of the o wners, Sandra and Edgar
Schuermann.
Along with the traditional coffee drinks
Artista offers some unusual ones. Cafe
Amore—French vanilla ice cream topped
with hot espresso, chocolate syrup, j
whipped cream dusted with amaretto cookies, is one of Sandra's favorites. Artista
also offers a unique variety of sandwiches
made on fresh-baked croissants or foccacia
bread.
What gives Artista a feel of being
"alive?" Its ongoing change in artwork
which is displayed on the walls. Currently
on display are black-and-white photographs
by award-winning Japanese photographer,
Satoru Yoshioka. Artista plans to change
its displays regularly to showcase works
by local and interesting artists.
By day, Artista. caters to a local business crowd. Evenings and weekends bring
out an array of academia, artists and locals.
Artista is located at 427 North
Escondido Boulevard in Escondido, near
the new post office and across the street
from the new California Center for the Arts
complex due to open this fall.
So, for a favorite coffee drink, a tasty
sandwich, a chance to browse through local and international periodicals, or some
friendly conversation with Sandra and
Edgar, Artista is a welcome addition to
North County.

The green light that mesmerized Gatsby. Youth, innocence,

In a recent L.A. Times Book Review, a
friend of the late, great, gutter poet, Charles
Bukowski, recalled the moment he heard of the
writer's death. He was riding in his car when a
Bukowski poem came on the radio. At first, he
was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend's
work, but then he realized that he was listening
to an AM station. Any time such subversive
work invaded AM airwaves, he thought, it
couldn't be a good sign. Bukowski, of course,
was the prototypical literary renegade, far too
obscene and daring for mainstream culture—
until his death, that is.
I had a simitar experience at 12:30 on a
sunny California Friday afternoon. I unexpectedly received the day off from work and was
leisurely driving by the beach with a friend
when I heard the opening chords of Nirvana's
"Rape Me" blaringfroman otherwise tame AM
news station. The "godfather of grunge," as the
Barbie doll newswoman characterized Kurt
Cobain, had been found dead that morning from
a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Seattle
home. The "Generation X spokesman," Barbie
reported, had struggled with heroin addiction
and severe depression. His cryptic suicide note,
publicly read a few days later by Cobain's wife
and fellow musician, Courtney Love, spoke of
losing excitement for life, of feeling guilty for
"faking it." Quoting Neil Young, Cobain wrote,
"It's better to burn out than to fade away."
Kurt Cobain was not a spokesman for my
generation, and the media's unrelenting need to
characterize him as such was intellectually lazy
and artistically unfair. He was a confused,
depressed, probably mentally ill, but enormously
talented sognwriter who felt immense uneasiness and frustration about the fame unleashed
upon his Seattle garage band after "Smells Like
Teen Spirit" suddenly became some kind of
generational anthem.
It was always obvious that music served as
an intense and genuine form of aesthetic therapy
for the "troubled" poet. Nirvana's themes were
alienation, self-loathing, and displacement—
the thematic territory of every angry punk band
OuAurt
StudentS
fromthe Sex Pistols to Pearl Jam, But what set
Nirvana apart from the beginning was Cobain's
haunting, personal songwriting and the gentle,
fragile melodies that inevitably descended into a
haze of feedback and sonic confusion. And it
was that quality, an artistic marriage of longing
and angry resentment, innocence and powerlessness, personal guilt and social frustration, that
gave songs like "All Apologies," "Lithium,"
"Polly," "Rape Me," and "Heart Shaped Box"
their direct, intense power.
In that sense, Cobain did speak to lonely,
confused depressives like Bob Dylan, John
Lennon, Neil Young and Lou Reed did before
him. But it is the American public's incessant
need to valorize these artists, to turn them into
heroes and godfathers of movements that destroys their musical identity.
Musicians are not leaders, not politicians or
activists; especially someone as uncomfortable
with adulation as Cobain. Nirvana had no answers to our generational dilemma nor professed
prescriptions for m an's existential plight.
Cobain's suicide is proof of that. Just because a
song can provide a few minutes of solace, just
because artcan be made vital and immediate, doe
not make an artist a hero. Hero worship is
dangerous, not least of all, for the hero.
Bob Dylan wrote "It Ain'tMe Babe,"abitter,
biting renunciation of generational leadership, at
the height of his career. John Lennon eschewed
God and all other forms of idolatry ("I just
believe in me") at a time when the Beatles had
nearly surpassed Jesus Christ in popularity.
Cobain made Nirvana9s second major label album, In Utero, far less accessible and radiofriendly than itsfirst("Teenage angst has served
me well/Now I'm bored and old"), but it sold
millions of copies anyway. Cobain lost to milions
of flannel-clad followers what was perhaps his
last refuge against emotional abyss—his music.
He was no hero. He was a poet, and that is the
fact that will remain long after the feeding frenzy
of cheap speculation about the details of his
personal life is over. I, for one, will continue to
celebrate that fact.

�Are We Evolving Ourselves
Into Extinction?
Yvonne Gillis
Contributing Writer
Most of us are familiar with Charles
Darwin and his theory of evolution. Probably fewer of us are aware of the fact that
he discovered over 200 new species in
one month on his trip to the Galapagos
Islands. And even fewer of us are aware
that today, less than 150 years later, biologists estimate that during 1993 at least
4,000 and as many as 36,000 species
became extinct.
While Darwin found himself extremely excited over discovering species
and documenting their descriptions and
habitats, scientists today do not find equal
joy in documenting the rapid eradication
of many of the world's plants and organisms necessary for us to sustain life.
Necessary to sustain life? Yes! Seventy percent of the 3,000 plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as
sources of cancer-fighting chemicals
come from tropical forests. Recently, the
Institute found that the extract from a
vine located in the rain forests in
Cameroon inhibits the replication of the
AIDS virus.
While you read this article, another
type of plant species that could cure a
AfiWRTISIlSte
type of cancer or AIDS may be wiped out
forever. Environmentalists consider the loss
of tropical rain forests to be the world's most
serious problem. These forests are homes to
at least 50 percent of the earth's total species.
Take for example the rosy Periwinkle.
This flowering plant of the threatened tropical forests of Madagascar has two extracts
used successfully to treat victims of lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The
active ingredients for 25 percent of our medicinal drugs are extracted from ants, most of
which grow in the rain forests. Once the
active compound is identified and isolated, it
can be synthesized by chemists for our use.
But the plant has to still be with us to
identify the active ingredient. From the bark
of the Yew tree, a rare Pacific tree, chemists
extract the all-important substance called taxol
which is used in ovarian and breast cancer
treatment. Some environmental groups worried that logging and illegal bark stripping
were threatening the Yew supply and hurting
the legitimate harvesting of bark for taxol.
Luckily though, by studying the taxol components, chemists have recently been able to
produce a synthetic compound for commercial use.
Darwin's Origins of Species (1959)
advanced the case for evolution. Living
creatures had evolved over millennia according to a principle described by one of
his supporters as "the survival of the
fittest." Darwin explained how non-random processes put the forces of the environment upon species to create natural
selection.
For example, if white rabbits and
brown rabbits were living in snow country, the white rabbits, because of their
ability to blend into the environment, will
tend to escape their predators more readily
than the brown rabbits. Conversely,
brown rabbits blend into the desert setting easier than white rabbit. As a consequence, white rabbits thrive in snow country while the brown ones proliferate in the
desert.
So who looms to be the biggest predator of all? The present crisis of the rapid
extinction of numerous plants and organisms is the first to be caused by a single
species—our own. What would Darwin
have though of this new development in
the evolution of the species?

CSEA Chapter 321
kicks off membership
campaign
Believe it or not, the members of Chapter
321 continue to increase and gain strength,
and it is in part due to your continued financial support. All of us would like to take this
opportunity to express our gratitude, and update you on what* s happening in CSEA Chapter 321.
Many of you may or may not be aware of
the California State University Division of _
CSEA's Six Month Membership Campaign.
CSEA is mounting a campaign to recruit 200
members by June 1994 and 400 members by
December. As of April 4, 1994, your local
Chapter 321 has increased its membership
from 29 to 38. Clearly CSUSM's Chapter
321 is making this membership campaign a
success, and you are part of this accomplishment.
This year's membership chair at CSUSM
is Dora Knoblock. Dora, along with Cate
Boyce, Rosemary Henk, and Pamela Bell

are many ideas being discussed and will soon
be implemented. We will keep you posted.
If you know of anyone that would like to
be a CSEA member, please call any one of the
membership committee members and they
welcome the opportunity to spend a few minutes discussing how to "sign-up" and become

Since 1991, Associate Student Inc.
(ASI) has been the
voice for the students, and that
mission continues this week
as twenty-two
candidates run
for positions in
the ASI Board of .
Directors.
On Monday, March
12, the ASI election

are a voice for the campus's
issues and interests.
The ASI Board of Direc-
tors works together as a
team to represent the best
interest of the students; there
are individual positions that
concentrate on each student
need.
"As ASI représentatives,
these students sit in commit-
tees that shape our future as
students. These committees
can affect anything from
how many hours a unit
is to what majors we
have or what [a
campus] building
wül look like,"
Eliasar Molina
said, candidate
for Vice President of Marketing.
There are two
candidates
running for the office of
ASI President, Scott
Silviera, who has served
this past year as ASI's vice
president of external affairs,
and Matt Weaver, a business
student who serves as editor
of the Koala, a controversial
student-run newspaper that's
distributed periodically on
campus.

Since January 2012, gas
prices, in California have
gone up 61 cents per gallon,
causing a major economical
problem for San Diegans.
There was a 37-day streak
of daily gas price increases
that ended Friday, March 2.
These, mega increases drastically made an impact on
the economy and student allowances for other -material/
non-material expenses and
necessities.
"It puts a limit on where
you can go. It's just school
and work, and that's it," student Rose Jauregui said.
San Diegans are paying ap-
per gallon than the average
person in the United States
as of Feb. 26, 2012, according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices. In one
week, the gas prices in San
Diego jumped from $4.07
to $4.32—the highest of
the season. As of Tuesday,
March 6, the average price
of gas in San Diego is $4.36
and at the current moment is
considered to be falling, the
survey reported.
"It sucks a lot. I think it
definitely affects the students who are already poor
as it is," student Christa Van
Voorhees said.

all Student Affairs Committee (SAC) meetings which
all representatives must attend, and Board of Directors
meetings," Ehrhart said.
"It's all about the student's
voices to be [sic] heard, and
that's what I ' m passionate
about. My passion for this
campus is never ending,
and I ' m here to serve the
students," said Katherine
Atienza of the Student at

Every semester, students

Women's Center, Pride
Center ancf Campus Activity Board.
Also running for VP of

other student leaders to talk
about statewide advocacy
issues relating to higher
education," Carr said.
On Tuesday, March 13,
there will be an open forum
during U-Hour at Kellogg

Dallas Willard speaks about knowledge, authority
JESSIE G AHBREL L
S TAF F W RITE R
USC professor Dallas Willard spoke to students, staff
and faculty about his philosophical views on Thursday,
March 8.
Once everyone was seated,
the event's emcee, Timothy
Mosteller, addressed the audience about Willard's history. He went on to share about
how the two first met; Mosteller was a student of Willard's at USC back in 1989
where Willard has taught
since 1965.
Willard has also written
many books and articles and
has been involved in many
boards, committees and organizations, including the
C.S. Lewis Foundation, Biola University and the Western Association of Schools .
During the lecture, Willard
spoke of many of his philosophical views including the
human quest f o r adequate,
life-basing knowledge, acting without sufficient knowledge and the concept of authority.
"Good authority is authority you can question and
test," Willard said.
Regarding good authority,
he used the example of times
tables; everyone knows their
multiplication tables. but he

wondered if we know how
we got them. He concluded
that we don't question it, we
just take it as is.
He then spoke about faith
and knowledge.
"Knowledge is always
objective. Knowledge is always political in its effects.
You believe something when
you are ready to act [in appropriate circumstances] as
if it were so. You always live
up to your faith, but you do
not always live up to your
profession," Willard said.
Willard then took the lecture in a different direction, speaking on the lighter
subject of spring break. He
shared that ever since he
started at USC, spring break
was called Easter break.
" I am all for celebrating
spring, but something" has
gone wrong in our society
to deny that Easter is about
someone who died and came
back to life. We need to return to thinking about the basis of life," Willard said.

CSUSM flagpoles perhaps
disrespect flag
Craven circle display n o t u p t o p a r
J ESSI E G AMBREL L
S TAF F W R I T E R
In the center of Craven
Circle stands three flagpoles,
one holding the CSUSM flag,
another holding the California flag and the middle one
holding the American flag.
This is all good and proper,
but when it comes to the
American flag, it is standard
protocol that our country's
flag should be higher than
any other flag next to it, unless there is a line-up of flags
from other countries, according to the U.S. Marine Corps
Flag Manual.
As the daughter of a 30year U.S. Marine, I felt compelled to see that our American flag is not disrespected,
especially at our school. So,
I called up Lieutenant Douglass Miller at the Campus
Police, and he explained everything to me, being a U.S.
Marine in the Color Guard
before serving at our school.
He explained to me that according to his U.S. Marine
Corps Color Guard guide*
"No other flag or pennant
should be placed above or, if
on the same level, to the right
of the nationalflag**.~
With that being said, the
flag poles in Craven Circle
are not, per say, breaking any
rules, but it is still "pushing
the limits" with disrespect
toward our flag.
As a precaution, the Campus Police always make sure
to bring the American flag
all the way to the top and the

other two flags slightly below. If you go to the Office
of Provost on the fifth floor
of Craven Hall, you can see
how the heights of the flags
c ompar e b es t .
This is the most we can do
f o r now, unless the campus
stumbles upon funding f o r
new flagpoles. The flagpoles
are very expensive, and
since the flagpoles are on a
slope as it is, the foundation
for them is very unstable,
causing further difficulties
in construction and manage-
ment. In fact, Lt. Miller said
that when he first got here,
they were uneven, and the
cables were tangled. He said
he got that fixed right away.
N o m atte r w ha t t h e c as e
may be, there are ways
to honor and respect our
American flag, whether by
awareness or fundraising activities. Our American flag is
the symbol of our nation, so
to have it in it's proper and
rightful spot in the sky is our
duty to our nation.

Just recently, I found out
that the mother of a girl I
know died in a car accident.
While the event in itself is
devastating, I found something in the mother's back
story to be even more shocking: she was a cancer survivor.
%
After hearing about her
death, I began to think about
other people who have suffered similar fates—not
necessarily cancer survivors
who die in car accidents, but
people who essentially survive something life threatening only to die in unexpected
circumstances.
Thè first example that occurred to me was U.S. Marine Anthony Vargas who
was stabbed and killed at a
house party in the San Bernardino area in 2009. The incident was reported to have
taken place just days before.
his secpnd tour of duty in
Afghanistan. He survived
one tour only to bg killed in a
home-setting where soldiers
shouldn't have to worry for
their lives.
Another example that came
to mind was the death of
Ryan Dunn, star of the MTV
television series and movie
series "Jackass." Dunn spent
so much of his time on the
show taking part in reckless
stunts that ranged from seatchanging while speeding to
chugging an entire bottle of
tequila. It came as a surprise
when news broke about his
death in a car accident in
2011.
If you search "ironic
deaths" online, you \yill be
shown many lists that feature
these types of deaths. Some
ironic deaths mentioned are
actually quite humorous because of how outrageous
they are. However, there is
-a painful reality behind the
t o b e s een , b u t p eopl e -will
be lining up for this one regardless. "Halo 4" wiU be
the first time in five years
Master Chief has starred a
game. While not much of the
plot has been revealed, the
game's online trailers suggest a darker mood than the
previous installments.
"Kid Icarus; Uprising" is
the first major release for
Nintendo's 3DS system of
2012 which will be arriving in stores on March 23.
Steeped in Greek mythology,
the game follows a young
hero named Pit as he traverses the skies to battle Medusa. This will be the newest "Kid Icarus" game in 20
years, and I ' m hoping it lives
up to the fame of the original games. The game has two
modes: aerial combat and
ground combat. Pit will be
able to upgrade his weapons
and gain new ones throughout his harrowing journey.
Though it is still very early
in the year, gamers have the
Electronic
Entertainment
Expo to look forward to in
June. You can be sure to hear
a lot of new information on
the year's hottest games.

K YL E M .JOHNSO N
One of the biggest games
oOne of the biggest games
of the year, "Mass Effect
3," was released earlier this
month. While this game
was released quite early in
2012, this year has some
very promising games yet to
come.
The "Assassin's Creed"
series has recently been lacking in terms of originality.
The past three games have
featured the same main character, Ezio, and it's about
time we heard about the next
game in the series, "Assassin's Creed III." This new
game will take place in the
bloody days of the American Revolution. Players will
control a half-Native American named Connor as they
battle their way through the
snowy frontier of New England .The new, uniquesetUng
is a welcome change from
the seemingly overdone cityscapes of Italy .
The first-person shooter
"BioShock: Infinite" is also
due out toward the end of
this year. The latest installment takes place in the dangerous city of Columbia
located high in the sky. The
new location is bright and
vivid as opposed to the dingy
Rapture where the previous
two games took place. "BioShock: Infinite" features a
new device called the skyhook which allows players
to quickly zip line from platform to platform. The game
promises plenty of strange
and exciting secrets much
like the series' previous entries.
Master Chief will be returning this year for more
explosive. action in "Halo
4." The Xbox 360 exclusive
has changed development
teams from Bungie to 343
Industries. Whether or not
that is a good thing remains
three'mentioned here.
Far too often, you will hear
about soldiers who die while
on leave, whether in a car
accident or by murder. And
thankfully, cancer survivors
often live long enough to
tell their story. But there's a
real tragedy taking place in
all these instances, as well
as many others that can tie
into the similarity in the irony. Perhaps the devastation
comes from the unexpected
shock of the outcome of
these events—the surprise,
essentially.
While it is quite literal for
the soldiers who share this
fate, these individuals are
all fighting one war and then
dying in a completely unexpected one. Hie environment
of the illusory war where
they- experience their tragic
fate doesn't resemble their
real war whatsoever, leading
to an untimely and startling
outcome.
STAFt WRITER
Many of us at CSUSM
have at least heard of the

preachers who love to flock
college campuses to tell students they're sinners who
will go to hell unless they
repent. Our own school had
one such preacher proclaim
that very message during the
week of March 5 - 9, causing quite a stir and a bout of
mockery.
Let me start by confessing
I am an ardent Christian. I
believe Jesus is the Son of
God. He was crucified for
my sins, was buried, and rose
on the third day; I believe He
will come again. The aforementioned kind of preacher,

John - 1 John 1:8 and 1:10 is heartbroken, not angry,
(English Standard Version)- over our sins. John 3:16 ESV
read, "If we say we have no reads, "For God so loved the

Does that sound like an "angry" God? Certainly not—1

Christianity in its purest,

good person as well as believing in Christ's sacrifice,
not hating those who you

Tatum and Hill: comedic dream team
STAFF WRITER
"21 Jump Street" starring
Channing Tatum and Jonah
Hill, is a remake based off
the 1980s television series
of the same title. The plot
for both the show and movie
is young cops going undercover as high school students to solve a crime.
But that is where the similarities end. While the 4 80s
show is classic, each episode taught the audience a
lesson. The movie is a modern, comedic take on what
would happen if two young
cops went undercover at a
high school.
After, Jenko (Tatum) and
Schmidt (Hill) successfully
graduate from the police
(Ice Cube) puts Jenko and H p T . A V

The good thing about "21
Jump Street" is it's not really a remake. It's not as
predictable as other comedies. There is still the raunchiness, but some of the
comedy is slapstick as well.
The audience laughed from
the start of the movie to the
very end. "21 Jump Street"
is the perfect mix of comedy
and action.

If the latest live-action
Disney release, "John Cart"TrT bombs ai the trox office,
the only reason responsible
will be the terrible marketing for the movie.
Trailers for the film have
advertised it to look like
another "Prince of Persia"
installment mixed with the
arena scenes from "Star
Wars Episode II: Attack of
the Clones " (If it weren't
for the alien creatures featured, "Gladiator" would've
been a much more suitable
comparison).
However, the one arena
scene in "John Carter" lasts
only about five minutes and
is featured about two-thirds
of the way through the
movie. What remains is far
greater than marketing has
led audiences to believe.
Based on what is considered the first science-fiction
novel, "A Princess of Mars"
by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
tells the story of Civil War
veteran John Carter through
a journal following his
death. The journal being
read by his nepftew; E<3giar
Rice Burroughs, who has
just inherited Carter's entire
estate, contains a documentation of the last thirteen
years, in which Carter was
transported to Mars where
he took part in a civil war
taking place on the neighbor
planet.
The acting isn't great* but
the story is fascinating as it
deals with parallelism between civilizations. While
many might compare the
plot to those of such films
as "Avatar," "Dances with
Wolves" and "The Last
Samurai," it is merely timing that accounts for this, as
Burroughs wrote the original story in 1912.
There are a lot of comedic
moments, which balance
nicely with the epic sci-fi atmosphere of the film. Most
notable is the miscommuni-

CSUSM theater students
present: Spring Awakening
\ rock musical exploring teenagers tumultuous sexuality
B RANDO N T ORRE S
S TAF F W R I T E R
The CSUSM Visual and
Performing Arts department
is presenting a seven-night
production of "Spring Awakening."
This controversial play
was initially banned in several countries throughout the
world in the early 1900s due
to its blunt portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape,
child abuse, suicide, masturbation and sadomasochism.
When shown in New York
in 1917, public outcry forced
production of the play to shut
down due to charges of obscenity;
"My character...is a philosopher. He's constantly
questioning society. Religion
is what he's mainly questioning. Religion was so influ-
ential in society at the time.
He's always pursuing knowledge," said Christopher Murphy, CSUSM senior playing
the lead role of Melchior.
Throughout the play, the
audience follows four teenagers and their sexual realizations while trying to
navigate through our . sexsaturated culture. The play
maintains a comedic tone
and employs alternative rock
as part of its musical score.
''This play is still relevant
tod.ay because teen sexuality
is still taboo. The play raises
questions on teenage life,
not just sexuality. The playwright [Frank Wedekind]
thought adults Were moronic .
All adults are illogical, and
their names indicate that,"
Murphy said.
" I' m most excited about
exploring the different as-
pects of sexuality. There's
heterosexual sex, queer sex,
masturbation, dealing with
abortion and there's even
S&M. Experiencing how the
audiences react is something
I ' m most excited about
The sex scene, while short,
is very intimate. This play
deals with sex in a very real
way, and is impactful," Murphy said.
Tickets are $10 for general
admission, or $5 for students
with ID. Tickets are available at the door. Performances
begin Wednesday, April 4 at
7 p.m. and continue throughout the weekend. The performances will take place at the
Arts Building, Room 111.
Please note: The sexual
content in this play may not
be appropriate for children
12 and under.

On April 25, CSUSM's
Pre-Dental Society and Invisible Children will present
à screening of Kony 2012
to spread awareness of Joseph Kony and his malicious
army of the LRA (Lord's
Resistance Army) that have
been abducting children for
his own tactic reasons for the
past 26 years.
This year, Jason Russell
and the Invisible Children
Foundation have taken their
voices in spreading thè word
of Kony and their mission:
to arrest him for the countless injustices he's caused
in Uganda. With creativity
and perseverance, the Invisible Children Foundation
has fought to bring justice
to Uganda in a way that culture and society intertwine,
through media. Through Facebook, a social networking
site that currently has around
500 million active members, Invisible Children is
spreading the word of Kony
by sharing and forwarding
the message, generated and
narrated by Russell with occasional help from his son,
Gavin. The mission revolves
around the idea that to stop
Kony, people must know
who he is and understand his
brutal actions.
On April 20, the Invisible
Children Foundation plans
to "Cover the Night" in cities
all over the country to spread
awareness of Kony to stop
his 26-year-rule of abducting
around 30,000 children and
forcing the boys to kill their
parents and join his army of
the LRA (that has occasionally promoted peace) and the
girls to be sex slaves.

becoming a member to support Invisible Children or

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

lower scale of our humanity, for one reason or another," the article directly quoted
Craven as saying.
"(There was a concern about) his
characterization of immigrants as being of
a lower level of humanity," said Thompson, "and this was a concern to the faculty
because it goes against the university's

Thompson said that Craven responded
to the Faculty Senate's letter by writing

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

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

It's a place to find a mentor,

feeling a little lost, they'll even
give you directions.
At the new Student Resource
C enter , w orkshops , s uppor t
groups, private counseling and a
map of Craven Hall are only a few
of the services offered to students
at Cal State San Marcos. In addition to regular seminars on
topics from becoming part of a
"single parenting network," to
reducing "math anxiety", a menu
driven computer software system
is available to help students developbetter study skills. A "grade
obsession" workshop is also on
the agenda for March 18.
According to Dr. Patty ElenzMartin, counseling psychologist
for CSUSM, the services can be
especially useful to students who
have transferred from a community college.
The transfer students have to
put in more time at CSUSM than
at the community college, she
said. "If they can study more
effectively they're able to do better with less time."
Elenz-Martin said the center,
which houses over 100 audio
tapes, a dozen video tapes on
stress management, diet and
ways to quit smoking, was designed to meet t h e needs of
CSUSM's unique student population. The majority of students
are re-entry students, she said,
they have jobs and families.
"The center is a place students
can come in and relax, feel comfortable," she said. "So many of
the students are so busy, they
don't take time for themselves."
The Student Resource Center
isn't only for busy students. In
the near future, services will be
expanded to aid disabled students, as well.
And Elenz-Martin maintains
feedback is always welcome.

The biggest hurdle the staff

find thé Student Resource Center while searching for a room in

Craven comments are of concern, but don't jump to conclusions yet
In this time of increased racial intolerance both here in the United States and
abroad, itisrefreshing to go to a university
such as Cal State San Marcos, a learning
institution that is working hard to knock
down the barriers of ignorance and build
bridges of understanding.
However, a dark cloud has now overshadowed this bright spot, and moreover
it surrounds one man who has given so
much to the university that the campus'
crown jewel is named after him.
There is no doubt that Sen. William A.
Craven is to be applauded and recognized
in this institution's history as one of the
major figures in creating this university.
Butif the reported quotes in the SanDiego
Union-Tribune's Feb. 6 edition concerning
migrant workers are direct and not perhaps a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of what the senator said, his place in
history here should be given a good lookover.
But there is the catch word — "if."
The Union-Tribune article has clear,
direct quotes from Craven that seem to
convey a lack of knowledge of the problems of migrant workers.
His comparisons of his hearings 011 the
issue of migrant workers to the hearings
of Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s and his
investigations into Communist activity are
uncalled for.
these individuals who are perhaps on the
lower scale of our humanity, for one reason or another," the article directly quoted
Craven.
These few words can be interpreted in
two basic ways: either Craven sees the
American population (mainly white) as
superior, or he means that they are at the
lower end of "our humanity" in reference
to the fact that they do not or cannot have
the material wealth and help they need
economically.
He may very well have meant it in the
least harmful way — but either his words
didn't come outright or the reporter didn't
write them down correctly. One of the big
problems in journalism is that reporters
are human and can make mistakes (unless
they use a tape recorder) — one word out
of place or changed can alter an entire
phrase of what a person says to mean
something entirely different.
Pioneer applauds Dr. Ed Thompson ,
Academic Senate president, for expressing the need for dialogue in this matter
r athe r t ha n conclusion-jumping. He
stressed that the Academic Senate wants
to clarify with Craven what was said instead of simply punishing or finger-pointing.
Depending on how one interprets what
Craven said, it can appear as if those words
are in direct conflict with this university's
l/ i&a/ tf
PIONEER
We at Pioneer are angered that such a
respected official would look to McCarthy
and his charade as a positive way of describing what February's hearing concerning migrants was all a bou t
"Craven, R-Oceanside, compared his
investigation of migrant issues to that of
Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings on alleged Communist infiltration of government in the 1950s, saying h e did not see
anything wrong with McCarthy's questioning, either," the Union-Tribune story
reported.
However much Pioneer disagrees with
Craven's apparent interpretation of the
McCarthy era, it is his right to hold that
viewpoint and should thus not be punished for it by losing credibility here at Cal
State San Marcos.
Wherethebigquestionscomeintoplay
are when Craven reportedly describes his
views on the migrant issue.

It seems rather strange that we go out
of our way to take care of the rights of
Mission Statement of tolerance and inclusion.
But we don't know if Craven's words
just came out wrong 0f h e even believes
they came out wrong) or if the translation
from speech to print was disrupted somewhere along the line.
Certainly, Pioneer cannot yet judge; we
have yet to obtain the Academic Senate's
letter and Craven's written response, we
haven'tyet spoken with arepresentative of
the Union-Tribune or of Craven's office.
Within the short time that this story surfaced and the deadline for press there
simply wasn't the time needed to delve
further — but we will do so in the next
issue.
Until further facts and interpretations
come out, it is important that no one condemn Craven. Once all the facts are in,
then people can make individual judgements and the university can decide what
its next step will be.
Rumors have surfaced that there will be
a call to have Craven's name removed
from the building that bears it, and this
was confirmed by Gerardo Gonzales in the
story in this issue.
If Craven ends up agreeing with the
reported quotes and negative interpretations of what h e said, then that will be a
valid call to action.
But as before — "if," and only "if."

'Damage' and 'The Crying G
ame'play with viewer expectations
Because audiences determine the longevity offilms,filmmakersoften provide
formulaic story formats in order to statiate
their viewers' expectations. In Louis
Malle's "Damage" and Neil Jordan's
"Crying Game," however, audience expectation, falling prey to directorial manipulation, becomes the medium for innovative cinematic artistry,
v Rather than astound audiences with an
unforeseeable plot, Malle does his "Damage" through the magnification of the film's
inevitability. If not in the title's blatancy,
viewers will ascertain the picture's direction in a crucial opening scene wherein
Stephen (Jeremy Irons) and Anna (Juliette
Binoche) first meet, their eyes engaging
in silent certitude.
Having delineated the principle characters' relationships (Stephen is a married
man; Anna is his son's lover), Malle immediately presents thefilm'sconflict and thus
incites a premature tension which, even
when the affair seems most sheltered,
viewers cannot ignore. We may hope for
their liaison to thrive, but our rational
minds terminate such fanciful thoughts.
But Stephen's rationality has been
overcome by infatuation. About halfway
into the film, he speaks of divorcing his
wife (Miranda Richardson) in order to be
with his mistress. Understanding the
mechanism of desire, Anna quickly informs him that such an action would
achieve nothing, as attraction, in this case,
derives from their relationship's impossibility. Here, thecrux of thefilmemerges in
anadage: people always want what they do

not (and cannot) have.
Through a bit of dialogue, Anna reveals
that her insight comes from personal experiences, for this present love triangle
mirrors that of an earlier episode — one
which ended in tragedy.
Forthemostpart, however, Malle keeps
the dialogue to a minimum, allowing the
actors' eyes to say a great deal more than
their mouths. This minimalist approach
further increases the tension, and affords
the film a cryptic aura. This is especially
the case with Anna, whose appearance
suggests both masculine and feminine attributes, and who, at the film's climax,
while slipping away from the devastation
she has provoked, becomes a metaphor
for unattainable desire.
Whereas Malle performs his experimentation within the confines of viewer
expectation, Jordan workshis magic at the
opposite extreme, shattering the confines
and whirling viewer perceptions into a
gyre of impracticability. Yet his center
somehow holds.
Such a center emerges by way of the
parable Jody (Forest Whitaker) — a black
British soldier kidnapped by IRA members — relates to Irish terrorist Fergus

ordan's "The C g Game."
ryin
(StephenRea),theessenceofwhich states
that humans will act according to their
natures — some will be stingers, others
will be stung. All who watch thisfilmwill
find themselves in the latter grouping.
The word "game" of the title fits perfectly, as every scene involves one, not
excluding the film's opening in which a
slow pan captures, beneath a bridge, a
carnival in the distance. Along with this
odd sight, the crooning of Percy Sledge's
"When a Man Loves a Woman" rouses
suspicious thoughts — what lies beneath
that glossy surface?

has other, more profound statements to
make, and it does so by turning from Jody
(although he remains a vital character in
t h e story) to his girlfriend Dil Gaye
Davidson), whom Fergus discovers in
England. Here, Jordan executes the sting
of the century in a surprise scene that ties
together all loose ends.

Women continue to top enrollment
For thefifthconsecutive semester, the student
population at CSUSM continues to be dominated
by women. With the move to the permanent campus site, the total enrollment fell just shy of the
projected 2,000 students.
According to the Sept 9 Student Enrollment
Profile, 71 percent of the entire student population
is female. This proportion parallels past semesters
at the campus where women constituted almost
three-quarters of the total population.
• II •
The percentage tops national averages, which
place female enrollment just slightly above male CSU SAN MARCOS

enrollment with a 55 percent average.
The average age of the CSUSM also remains high. With 825 student
falling between the ages of 26 to 39, the mean age sits at around 29.
Though the campus has an unusually high number of women and older
students, minority population at CSUSM remains low.
Only 48 of the 1,914 students at the university are of African American
descent. Hispanics comprise the most represented minority with 9.4
percent of the population. American Indians are the least represented
ethnic group, forming only 1 percent of the total population.
Although the population did not reach the expected number, 47 percent
are new to CSUSM. This figure should increase dramatically when
CSUSM accepts freshmen in 1995.

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

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

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

Student apathy is not new to the
yearbook staff. Tukuts from 1991 still
remain in boxes, unsold.
"We had a few short-lived tradition
and it's a shame," Pender said. "The
more students we get, the more they
don't want to get involved."
When the decision came from the
university, Tukut hadbeen completed

The measure calls for a $5 per

half the amount of full-time students.
Each year thereafter the fee will

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

OPINION
PIONEER/WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1992
Tbkiit serves as first victim of apathetic
student body, sign of more deaths to come
For too long, the students at Cal State San
Marcos have been criticized within the pages
of Pioneer's Opinion section for being apathetic. Now, the Tukut—a yearbook which
is now being coined as the shortest-lived
tradition on campus — lies dead, killed by
the lack of student participation.
It's pathetic. Some are getting tired of the
same words written here, phrases that chastise poor involvement and a shortage of
university activities. Tough; until something
is done and the problem is corrected, then
we're not going to let up.

is a high percentage. Those supporters are

Rekindling a debate
on Gay Rights issue
Over a period of time, people change. Their
ideas change as actions and events change the
world around them. And opinions change.
Last year, I wrote about a sensitive subject; it
was an editorial that sparked debate and discussion. Now, several months later, I am re-kindling
the topic of Gay Rights with a new view on the
.subject.
In every editorial written within these pages,
eitherbymyselforsomeoneelseonPioneer'sstaff,
the homosexual lifestyle has nevo: been criticized.
Despite how opponents tried to read between lines
that were^never drawn, I have debated the way
those people want to be treated.
I wrote that they should not havethé opportunity
for special attention with a Gay Rights Bill. My
comparison was between a homosexual's and a
vegetarian'srights:they are both a chosen lifestyle
that affects only them and a select few close friends
and family.
But there is a difference. Those people that have
decided against eating meat are not being killed for
their way of life.
I t' s shocking when statistics reveal that the top
hate-crime is against lesbians and gays. People are
beingridiculed,beaten and even murdered because
they choose to lead a homosexual life.
Why? How can someone take the life of another
human because of an alternative lifestyle? How
can people feel threatened by a homosexual when
the only difference is how they conduct themselves
sexually, an act that is practiced privately hopefully
behind closed doors? Why must people be killed
for living differently?
How can we stop the killing?
Maybe the start is a Gay Rights Bill — maybe
not I haven't decided y e t On one side, the debate
that I wrote about previously, a Gay Rights Bill
would give unnecessary special attention to the
homosexual community. Yet the fact that people
are dying may make the attention extremely special.
The realization that there is something very
wrong with how people not only work and go to
school together, but how Americans live with each
other has sparked a flame inside me. The flame has
shades of pink and purple, a sign of support for
homosexuals'rightto live however they choose to.
The fire also burns red, symbolizing a tribute to
those who have died from AIDS.
I pass on the embers to you, to re-evaluate the
plight of the Gay Rights movement. If you don't
accept the way of life of gays, lesbians and bisexuals, then at least accept theirrightto live that
life.

Around t h e
world in
one d ay.. .
Train CSU San Marcos now boarding...
Slopping at all points of the world — Africa,
Japan, India, Mexico and everthing in
between — en route to a better understanding
of cultural diversity.
All aboard!
At the second Cal State San Marcos
International Festival Sunday, visitors didn't
have to travel too far on the small campus.
But the music, crafts and food transported
everyone around the globe and back, making
stops at fascinating and enriching destinations.
Before the journey began, however, a
proper blessing was in order. That came from
Dr. Bill Stacy, CSUSM president, who
officially opened the Festival with a welcome
in English, Spanish and Japanese.
Stacy was joined by Henry Rodriguez, a
local American Indian elder who has participated in several CSUSM events; "Uncle
Henry" inspired the university to continue its
cultural growth.
"God gave us this wisdom and the knowledge and you must take care of this," he said,
"... and then the Good Earth will take care of
you."
The world tour began with the final
blessing, by CSUSM professor Komla
Amoaku. He quickly transported the new
university to the continent of Africa—more
specifically Ghana, his homeland — and set
the fast-paced and vibrant tone of the festival
with a song and drum rhythm that has earned
him the title of Master Drummer.
The Festival took a sharp turn and raced
across the globe to Japan as the San Jose
Taiko took to the large stage. Back by popular
demand, the Asian drummers electrified the
growing crowd with a beat that can communicate with everyone.
"The drum has a universal language,
regardless of race and age," said PJ .
Hirabayahi, San Jose Taiko creative director.
And the popular performers spoke many

musical dialects at the Festival — including
Jazz.
"We work on the premise that our music is
inspired by traditional Taiko," Hirabayahi
said. But because the group's members are
local natives, their music is also a "reflection
of indigenous folk art," she said.
Speaking of Japan, the festival was made
possible by CSUSM'sfriendsat Itoman and
Company, Ltd. The Japanese trading firm
donates $50,000 each year for 10 years to
provide permanent financing for the annual
festivals.
"An endowment of this size will contribute
to helping our university in San Marcos meet
its international mission," Stacy said in 1990
when the endowment was announced.
Just a short trip across the bayfromJapan
was the food of China, provided by China
Wharf. Their selection of only a few items
was outweighed by the large portions of
mouth-watering flavors. The barbecued
kabobs were packed with beef, shrimp and
chicken, mixed with a variety of vegetables.
Amoaku was at the driver's seat again as
the new children's corridor, located on the
Founders' Plaza, came to life. He piloted the
festival back to his homeland and presented a
hands-on concert of African drums with
children as his guest performers.
"I don't care what age they are," Amoaku
said. "This should be the focus of any
festival: the children. We should bring them
up with an understanding of a global mankind
. . . and art should be a vital part."
And art was a destination too. Encompassing the entire Plaza, walls and children-sized
buildings proudly displayed the work of
students enrolled in schools across the North
County.
Pictures, painted flags, hand prints, feather
bird masks and Hopi Kachina Dolls is only a
small sample of what was on display,
showing the large diversity of the area's
children and their families. Standing out in
the collage of decor were masks created
mostly by the students in San Marcos

elementary schools. Whether the face pieces
were simply painted in a few colors or
elaborately decorated with feathers and yarn,
the masks served as a perfect road map to the
younger generation's world.
The International Festival returned home
as the Sweet Baby Blues Band set the large
stage onfire.Featuring the tantalizing sounds
of homegrown music — and even the back-up
of CSUSM's John Harris on drums — this
blues band rocked the entire Iowa* level of the
campus.
While still in the states, don's miss the
appeal of Louisiana's appetizers at the Cajun
Connection. The abundance of southern
spices activate the taste buds with a savory
zap from the Jambalaya or even the Red
Beans and Rice.
The world tour came back to San Marcos.
Not using the metaphor, people were actually
coming and going all day long. Stacy called it
a "steady steam." Other sources called it
about 6,000 visitors for the day.
As the festival train passed by San Marcos
again, it picked up a group of students from
the San Marcos Elementary Folkloric. The
captivating dancers pranced south of the
border with the flair and energy of four

"I love the kids show," Stacy said. "It's
just terrific.'*
The entire upper plaza was packed with an
appreciative audience as the Holkloric
dancers performed. Ironically, the only open
spot on the plaza was the Founders' Circle:
visitors respected the significance of the

Don Funes, chairman of the International

an equally-large crowd with audience-

everyone to see.
While in Mexico, the spices of the land
were abundant at Taco Pablo's. Promoting a
large selection of Spanish dishes, the local
restaurant lived up to its reputation of crisp
and delicious food.

Under Seige' casts off
with innovative sailing
J A Y LEIGH/PIONEER
Alabama might seem an unusual place to Him a movie
set on the high seas in 'Under Seige." But the small town
of Mobile had something not other location could provide:
the USS Alabama, a battleship decommissioned in the
1950s and now serving as a museum and tourist attraction
from its permanent mooring in Mobile Bay.
Co-producer Peter Macgregory-Scott explains: "We
needed a battleship with 16-inch inch guns, but the four
Iowa-class ships, including the Missouri (where 'Under
Seige' is set), were not available to us.
"We did have the Alabama, though, which is a South
Dakota-class ship, similar in layout to the Missouri and
almost as long. By removing the Alabama's 20mm and
40mm guns and adding some superstructure elements, we
were able to make her appear similar to the Missouri."
Once thefilmmakerssecured permissionfromthe USS
Alabama Battleship Commission to conduct the major
renovations necessary to transform the Alabama into the
Missouri, production was ready to begin.
The crew immediately set about solving the next series
of problems: lighting the ship correctly and creating the
wind and wave effects.
"It appeared to be an enormous undertaking," said coproducer Jack Bernstein. "The largest logistical problem
was making the ship appear to be at sea, when in fact, it sits
in a bay. But we had absolutely the finest crew and the
vision to solve all our problems."
Director Andrew Davis recalls thefirsttime he saw the
Alabama, surrounded on three sides by the city of Mobile
and by piers and bridges.
"My first through was "How do we make this ship look
like it's in the middle of the Pacific?' I wanted to make the
city of Mobile disappear for three months."
\ To create the illusion, the design staff, under the
leadership of production designer Bill Kenney, built a
100-foot-longbarge,constructeda60-foot high framework
along its entire length and suspended black clothfromthat
structure. This blackout barge was moved around the
Alabama to block outant city buildingsand lights. Similar
barges were created for lights and cameras. Used in
combination, the barges gave thefilmmakerstremendous
flexibility.
"It appears as if the film were shot entirely on the high
seas," Macgregor-Scott said.
While filming on the battleship lent a tremendous
amount of realism to the movie, it also posed logistical
problems.
Hie main deck and the bridge, for example, are separated by six levels. Since both locations are setting for
pivotal scenes in the film, it was necessary to transport
cameras, lights and sound equipment up and through the
Alabama's narrow ladders, hatches and corridors. The
crew found getting around on the ship to be not only
difficult but treacherous as well.
"A battleship is a maze, a jungle," said MacgregorScott. Actually, it's worse than a maze. It's a maze with
the lights turned out"
The task of creating realistic explosions at "sea' fell to

Seagal dives
into newest
good-guy role
The USS Missouri, the United
States Navy's largest and most powerful battleship, has reached the end
of her long ad glorious reign. Once a
seagoing city teeming with 2,400
Navy personnel, the 9 00-foo t
dreadnought is now manned only by a
skeleton crew as she crosses the Pacific for the last time, in route to
decommission.
The peacefulfinalvoyage of sailor «
and dreadnought is shattered in the
movie "Under Siege." The Missouri
will face combat one last time: with
the ship's cook leading a sparse and
motley crew against two corrupt, lethally obsessed military specialists
— William Strannix (Tommy Lee
Jones) and Commander Krill (Gray
Busey)—. who have stages adiabolical
plot to hijack the ship and steal its
nuclear arsenal.
With the threat of all-out nuclear
war and millions of lives at stake, the
world holds its breath as three brilliant
warriors face off in the dark and stifling corridors of a battleship, surrounded by fathoms of empty Pacific
Ocean. When their confrontation is
over, the victory will be final — and
Casey Ryback, the cook played by
Steven tSeagal, has sworn his life to
make that victory his own.
Seagal'sprevious savvy characters
have managed to look good while
performing dazzling feats of martial
art, staying cool under jhe threats —
and b lows—o f urban thugs.
"Casey Ryback is different," says
Seagal of his latest role. "He doesn't
care what he looks like. He's not
stylish: he won't even put on a dress
uniform when the President Visits his
ship."
When Seagal left the mean streets
of the city to portray an action hero on
a ship, he realized that his challenge
would be different than it had been in
the past
-ss* "This story is like a chess game,"
Seagal said. 'There is afinitearena in
which everything in played out; if you
move one way, there are so may ways
your opponent can respond. I was
attracted to the idea that this struggle
is mental, physical and spiritual, between a dedicated but private man
and two dangerously clever criminals."

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

artistry at itsfinestHere, the director
impeccably incorporated a sequences
of four dreams which chronicle the
transmogrification of David's psyche:
the first dream presents an awakening
of his bestial nature; the second, the
development of his primitive hunger;
the third, an awareness of an alter ego,
and the fourth, the deterioration of
rational mind.
The first segment pertains to
SigmundFreud's theory on thedreamwithin-a-dream, which, in "The Interpretation of Dream," he describes
as being that which "the dream-wish
seeks to put in the place of an obliterated reality." In relation to the film,
this quote suggests that David, unable

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

Cal State San Marcos' third student election ballot has two propositions, a
tee measure, a president and 12 council representative seats to vote on. The
candidates are listed below, with statements from the two presidential candidates.
P RESIDENTIAL RACE
• W illiam 'Rob' Christensen: My platform is to protect the students'
rights. First, I would limit the size and spending of the A.S. Government. In
addition, I would solicit private donations from corporations to defray the costs
of building a Student Union. Furthermore, I would oppose any Student Union fee
or any increase in the A.S. fee. Finally, I would lobby against any tuition or other
fee increases at the CSU Board of Trustees or at the state legislative level.
• Laura M itchell: As your next Associated Student Government President,
I will work towards establishing and enhancing a university atmosphere, while
ordaining and maintaining an increased level of professionalism j n our A.S.
government. I believe it is time for a president who, while being accessible to the
diverse student population of our campus, bestows a fresh attitude in the A.S.
government. I will put forth my ideals and insights to bring about positive changes
both for the student government and to the men and women of this university.

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

Part two: Treatments' costs, results vary for HPV virus

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

�Time out: start over
with a more active
student population
Starting a university is aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
some people. As Cal State San Marcos evolves, it encounters
some growing pains — some a minor and some others are
sharp pangs. Regardless, if the administration and founding
faculty could start all over, they would probably proceed in
just the same way, minus one factor — the current apathetic
student population.

Cal State San Marcos students
shine as examples to journalists
I think i t's safe to say that the 43rd annual California
Intercollegiate Press Association's annual conference at the
Lake San Marcos Resort was a great success for those at Cal State
San Marcos who participated.
Organizing a weekend of competitions, seminars and banquets was a Herculean task that few universities many times
greater in size would not have been able to pull off. Yet with only
a handful of bodies and an immeasurable amount of tenacity,
CSUSM students gave anew definition to the word "superhuman."
Unfortunately the community of Lake San Marcos might not
agree with this assessment.
During the course of the weekend, seven private boats were
cut loosefromtheir moorings on the tiny lake, causing damage
to some of the vessels.
Students were found passed out by the resort's'podside,
rendered unconscious from out-of-control partying the night
before.
Partying continued loudly until 4 a.m. in the mornings,
disturbing hotel guests and residents in the area. On the second
night of the conference, 12 policemen and one canine unit
swarmed the hotel in an unsuccessful attempt to squelch the
volume of the gaieties.
Needless to say, the Lake San Marcos Resort will never allow
the California Intercollegiate Press Association to hold another
conference on its premises.
Some of the problems could be attributed to the event's
scheduling. Set on thefirstweekend of spring break, the conference could have been construed by some as an invitation to cut
loose and throw responsibility to the wind.
Each year stories of unruly college students getting out of
control during spring breakfillthe news. Riots on the beaches of

Of course
we did expect
some amount
of u ncontrolled b ehavior and
a lcoholism.
We did not
foresee, however, the degree of party-
ing that occurred.
We who organized the conference did so with the intent of
creating a stimulating and challenging atmosphere for college
journalists. We took our work seriously as we scrambled at all
hours to make sure that each event atthe conference ran smoothly
and with as few glitches as possible.
Yet, for each one of us, there were four others who had a
different agenda.
Itisinconceivablethat thevolunteered time of the conference's
numerous contributors, many of whom are professionals in the
field ofjournalism, could be eclipsed by the irresponsible actions
of a select few who found alcohol to be a better mental stimulant
than knowledge and healthy competition.
Nonetheless, those students at CSUSM (in particular Debbie
Duffy, Kathy Sullivan and Kimberly Courtney) should be proud
of their astounding efforts. With their never-say-die attitudes and
responsible behavior, they stood as shining examples of the
breed of student typified at CSUSM.
As overall winners of the conference, CSUSM's student
journalists were held as the role models for many a fledgling
college journalist. It is with great honor that I can say they filled

Once again, thecall for student involvement went out in the
form of Associated Students candidate applications. And
once again, CSUSM students did not head their calling. The
evidence is apparent when only seven people are running for
13 available A.S. Council positions.
And once again, i t's time for another scolding.
The administration's and faculty ' s challenge is to provide
a quality education in a culturally-enriched setting, CSUSM
has done more than its share with smaller classes, inspirational teachers and an abundance of campus concerts, festivals and activities.
The students' challenge is to meet the university's standards and provide student services for today and tomorrow.
But the vast majority is just concentrating on the educational
aspects of CSUSM and returning nothing to developing a true
campus community.
If a student does not participate, does not get involved, and
does not establish an example for future generations, then
leave this university. Go somewhere where your apathy could
go unnoticed and you can get lost in the shuffle and become
the little fish in a big ocean.
Go to San Diego State and deal with its small, cramped
classes or other colleges that aren't as unique as CSUSM.
Those uninvolved students haven't earned the quality of
instruction here at CSUSM.
At CSUSM, everyone is a big fish in a little puddle. The
spodight is bright, but students are not performing very well.
Let the people who really want to ease the university's
growing pains and assist in the evolution of CSUSM stay.
Then the student and faculty communities can work together
to form a university with a reputation of dignity, not apathy.
There's another call to the students and that's the A.S.
elections next week. Last year, a year of much more involvement, nearly 35 percent of the population voted/Live up to
that reputation. It only takes a few minutes, doesn't cost
anything and won't interfere with family life.

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

Vote4 yes' on Measure A
I have spent better than 20 years in and out of
the University campuses, both as a student and
as a visiting lecturer. One observation that always
holds true is that th& center of the campus
activities is the Student Union.
This is where the students like to feel like
they have a home, a place where they belong.
Even campuses that have a large number of
commuter students, like San Diego State or
Boise State, offer those students the opportunity
to experience more of university life than a
private University like National University.
The many features that Student Unions offer
are selected by the students, to benefit the students, and employ students. Imagine if you can
what life would be like for 10,000 or more
students trying to leave campus, all at the same
time to drive to get lunch, or to have some
copying done. Imagine what life will be like for
the students of CSUSM in the 21st century
without the many features that their student
union can offer them.
Please consider what a positive decision can
have for the students of the future. I know that
you realize that the Student Union will not be
built in time for'most of you to enjoy , unless you
come back to take classes like I am doing now.

�Despite public opinion, war-like game creates an adult-version of playing tag
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
I,
I t was Saturday morning and the
sun was shinning just bright enough
topenetratethethickfoliageofLion's
Den, a Paint Pellet Pursuit field in
Pala. The day's business was busy
and a large crowd of men, women and
even a few kids was heading for a
field known as "Pumpkin Patch."
"What's going to be your strategy?'' was a question asked to a camouflaged soldier.
"What's the camera for? What
magazine do you write for?" was the
reply.
After the standard introduction of
Cal State San Marcos and explanation ofPioneer, the question was asked
again: "What's going to be your strategy?"
"Hey, I'm going to be in the news-
paper," he shouted Not if he didn't
answer the question, he wasn't. A
bout went on for a few moments as the
stroll to the next field became more of
a hike. Just as the question was to be
withdrawn, he answered.
"I don't have one."
"A
i Lt first, there is no strategy,"
explained Clem Watts. But after playing the war-like game of Paint Pellet
Pufsuit, Watts says die need for
strategy becomes more apparent.
With only two previous days of
paint balling, Watts has already developed a five to seven man system.
The group travels across the playing
field, working together to accomplish
their task. Their goal* to capture the
flag.
Paint Pellet Pursuit is an adultversion of tag, or a toned-down version of war. In this game, specially
designed guns shoot paint pellets instead of bullets.
At about half an inch in diameter,
the plastic coated balls are shot from
specially made guns. The pellets travel
at about300feet per second and break
on contact, leaving a quarter-sized
paint blotch. The mark indicates a
"kill" and the player leaves the field.
The rest of the sport, however, is
just like a real war situation — from
camouflage uniforms to forested
playing fields.
With or without the use of strategy, a team must capture the opposing teams flag and return it to his base
to win. Thepioblem, however, is while
trying to retrieve the prize, the army
must also defend its own colors because the other team has the same
goal.
Steve McGovern thinks the pressureof the war situation is what makes
the game challenging. "People learn
how to work as a team while playing
under stress," the paint pellet veteran
said.
Watts agreed with McGovern's
ideas on team work, defending his
strategy. "The most important thing is
to communicate with each other."
CSUSM's Jeff Henson supports
the team play tactics and adds, "Don't
get h it" Henson has played several
times at the Borderland fields in Otay
and Weekend Warriors in Alpine.
"I'm mostly a defensive player,"
hecontinued.'T wait for them to come
forme. I try to get more of us to shoot
at them instead of vice versa. We try
to work as a team."
E
Lenson, fairly new to thè sport,
said the drawback to Paint Pellet Pursuit doesn't have to do with the game,
but how others perceive the sport.
"Public opinion is notagoodone,"
Henson stated. ' They think it's a
practice of war. It's not really that
(Besides) you only get one life in
war."
McGovern, a first class petty officer in the Navy, said that the people
who play like "Rambo" don't do very
well.
"Rambos die," Dan Marchand reiterated.
In fact, military tactics do not work
in the setting of Paint Pellet Pursuit.
The determining factor is because the
weapons, although improving technologically very rapidly, do not shoot
straight. Because of the liquid paint
and die seam around the pellet, firing
a paint ball rifle accurately is almost
impossible.
There is a slight chance that miliSEE PAINT/PAGE 10

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

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

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

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

Chapman gains presidential position
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
History major Jose Chapman was named as the first president of Cal
State San Marcos' Associated Students following a run-off election
between him and Mathematics major Barbara Pender last Tuesday and
Wednesday. Chapman received 99 of the 160 votes cast in the election.
The run-off election was called after Chapman failed to obtain the
presidential seat in the April 22 and 23 election by three votes. In order to
obtain the seat of president, a candidate must garner 50 percent of the votes
plus one vote to constitute a simple majority.
"I have mixed feelings about the elections," said Chapman. "I was
disturbed by the 50 percent plus one rule. It created a lot of hardships
among the small student body."
Chapman said that the extra time spent campaigning for the second
election could have been used for class study. He also said the smaller
number of students voting caused him to be concerned over who the
winner might be.
Business major William Jungman obtained five post-baccalaureate
votes to gain a council seat over opponent John Cave, who received two
votes. Jungman is a dentist who practices in Escondido.
The turnout, which represented 25 percent of the student population,
was 10 percent smaller than that of die April ballot. Dean of Student
Services Ernest Zomalt said that traditionally, run-off elections draw a
smaller crowd than the first ballots. He also indicated that his department
might have undermined the turnout
by holding elections on a Wednesday.
"I think we out-thought ourselves
by moving the election to Tuesday
arid Wednesday," he said. "We didn't
realize that there were not any
Wednesday night classes."
Zomalt said he still felt that anybody who wanted to vote had the
opportunity to do so, but indicated
future elections will be planned after
consulting the class schedule.
JOSE CHAPMAN/
The A.S. Council will meet during
PRESIDENT-ELECT
the summer to discuss budgetary
problems facing the organization. In the April election, the ballot
measure enabling the student government to collect fees from its
constituency was turned down. As a result, the victorious Measure B,
which affixed a $15 student fee to members of the A.S., could not be
implemented.
According to Zomalt, the student government needs money for
incorporation by the fall semester.
"The budget is first priority," said Chapman. The president-elect said
that during the summer he and the Council will engage in dialogues on
the budget and work on fund-raising activities.

Signet Armorlite, a local eyeglass lens
manufacturer that has recently topped the list
of toxic emitters in Sail Diego County, wants
the surrounding community to view it in a
different way.
According to the county's Air Pollution
Control District, the firm has already cut emissions of methylene chloride by 25 percent, and
plans to reduce the discharge of the suspected
carcinogen by as much as 90 percent in the
next few years.
Officials from the APCD estimate that Signet will achieve a 50 percent reduction rate by
the end of 1991, and a 75 percent rate of
reduction by March 1992.
"The pollution reduction program will reduce annual emissions of methylene chloride
by 205 tons by January 1992 and 384 tons by
March 1994," said Richard Sommerville, air
pollution control officer.
Signet, which is located about a quartermile west of Cal State San Marcos, was ranked

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

The 1991 summer program is an extensive, fast-paced, six-week
experience for inner-city high school students which focuses on academic, social and personal development Its goal is to assist potential
first generation college students who are economically disadvantaged
to gain access to a college education.

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

however, has sped up the process.

Senate had to develop an "instrument,"
or survey form, for evaluations. After
construction and approval from the
Senate, CSUSM President Bill Stacy
must approve the form.
The Senate did complete the
evaluation form, but was not content
with its format far personnel usage.
Founding Faculty member Patricia
Worden, who acted as dean for the
College of Arts and Sciences last semester, said the committee "requested
results not be used" because agreement

that has good psychometric properties," said Warden. 4<We want it to
mean something."
Warden indicated that the committee has decided on a form that is
"somewhat similar" to last semester's
to be used this week.
Mack said that the forms used last
semester were obvious copies of
evaluation forms used at another
college.
'They were obviously xeroxed and
have been used by some other university. They were perfectly acceptable," he said.
Mack, who said the results of his
evaluations were "stunningly good,"
believes the university would have
looked at his retention in a different
light had the surveys been used for
personnel purposes.
wish to stay away from the main campus.
"If students are close to graduating, then we recommend they go to
the main campus. If they have 30
units or more left to complete, then
we recommend they transfer here,"
Zomalt said.
About 100 SDSU undergraduates
attended two separate information
sessions last week to learn about their
options as continuing undergraduates
amidst the closing of their North
County campus.
Cal State San Marcos officials told
those who attended that they were
welcome to transfer to the new school,
but that they would not get priority in
the registration process.
The option of concurrent enrollment, wherein SDSU students can
take classes at Cal State San Marcos
with all the units applying towards
their SDSU financial aid, was the best
received of the ideas presented.
Unfortunately, according to some
of the students present, the Cal State
San Marcos schedule is either too
small, or irrelevant, to make use of
current classes.
In particular, Accounting and Finance majors at SDSU North County
feel that they have no choice but to
drive south to finish their programs.
The finance students observed that
Cal State San Marcos has almost no
finance classes, and the Accounting
majors were discouraged that the Cal
State San Marcos accounting curriculum is still awaiting secondary accreditation.
Zomalt said students transferring
over completely to CSUSM will be
given priority over those concurrently
enrolled in both colleges.
San Marcos, it makes good sense to
try to keep the transition smooth."
CSUSM Executive Vice President
Richard Rush said that CSUSM is
currently negotiating with SDSU over
the use of SDSU-run facilities.
"Negotiations with SDSU, as always, have been most cordial and
helpful. We anticipate things to stay
largely the same," said Rush.
According to University Library
Librarian Bonnie Biggs, the library's
collection, including bodes, microfilm and periodicals will remain at the
North County site. Biggs also said
that the computers will remain on
campus.
"All the books stay here. We have
been blessed," said Biggs. "It's my
understanding that the computer labs
will stay intact for the next academic
year."
Rush indicated that some items,
like the piano in the Student Lounge,
are on loan by SDSU and must be
returned.
Most of the administration of
SDSUNorth County will transferover

group indicated that Signet is responsible for one percent of
California's ozone-depleting emissions.
In February of last year, Signet
unveiled the $1.5 million plan to reduce emissions, after officials at
nearby Palomar College expressed
their concerns.
After hearing of the amounts of
chemicals released into the air, PalomarSuperintendent/PresidentGeorge
Boggs requested a computerriskassessment test to evaluate possible effects of the emissions on the public.
Signet countered the request by ordering a more accurate and costly
$100,000 actual assessment of the
plant's emissions.
"I give them a lot of credit," said
Dick Smith, deputy director of the
APCD. 'They just said, 'let's spend
extra money.'"
The risk assessment uses assumptions that overestimate the chance of
contracting cancer to assure that the
actualriskis lower, said officials from
the APCD. For example, the maximum residential risk is calculated for
a hypothetical person who resides at
the point of maximum emissions impact 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
for 70 years.
The test, conducted by Envirologic
Data of San Diego, revealed that
emissionsfromthe Signet facility do
not pose any imminent or short term
danger to public health and safety.
However, it did show a possible increased cancer risk from long term
exposure to methylene chloride emissions.
The news of Signet's toxic reductions comes on the heels of an effort
by the company to assist CSUSM in
its Business Partners Program.
Although no formal announcement
has been made by the College of Business, a Signet official confirmed the
company's application to the program.
"We have gone in and signed the
papers and have even sent in our donation already," said a Signet spokesperson.
According to the source, Signet
sent its application to the college on
March 5. A $1,000donation qualified
them as a partner in the Business
Partners Program.
The program will link each College of Business student with a local
businessman who will serve as a mentor. The program will be fully implemented next fall with four different
levels of business partners.
As of press time, only HewlettPackard has been announced by the
university as a business partner. The
university would not formally confirm Signet's involvement

Environmental Protection Agency.

themselves. Wearing the tights of the governmental good guys, both agencies are examples
of environmental apathy in action.
In 1980, under the Clean Air Act, the EPA
was given the responsibility of determining
what toxic substances to regulate. The EPA
has performed this task dreadfully.
Potentially toxic substances are not researched thoroughly, if at all, as to their
potential effects on humans. Of the nearly
70,000 chemicals now in use by businesses,
less than 2,000 have been properly tested.
When the EPA says that a "substance has not
been proven harmful," businesses are able to
still use chemicals, like methylene chloride,
and still remain within the EPA's substandard
regulations.
The APCD is equally at fault for propagating the problem. Despite a recent State
Supreme Court ruling giving counties the
right to regulate potentially dangerous substances, the APCD still follows the EPA's
mediocre guidelines.
Foreseeing possible future regulations and
responding to the local college community's
sensitivity to the subject of toxic emissions,
Signet is making an effort to regulate methylene chloride usage on its own accord.
This year the company is moving down the
list of top county emitters by reducing emissions 25 percent By 1994, the company will
be off the list by miles.
When you consider that this aggressive
emissions reduction program was instigated
by Signet due to community response and not
by the APCD or the EPA, it is apparent that
the real bad guys are the agencies that should
know better.

I believe that some students have legitimate
concerns about the writing requirement and
teaching goals.
While others disagree with the writing requirement because they do not want to do the
work, some complain about the workload. CSU
San Marcos should retain the writing requirement
Also, CSU San Marcos should balance
teaching with applied and theoretical research
so that 50 perfect of the faculty's time is devoted
to teaching and the other 50 percent be devoted
to applied and theoretical research.
If the university aspires to these principles,
then we, as students, will be better prepared to
either enter the labor market or graduate school.
Thus students and the local community benefit

Some students have complained about the

I believe that the writing requirement is essen- process. I believe that Mr. Hammond was in

essay examinations which make students use
analytical and critical skills?
Personally, I do not want to be a robot and
regurgitate information and play a multiple guess
game with scantron examinations which do not
help develop better analytical, critical, and
writing skills.
Although, I concede on the argument made
by Lora Coad ("Writing requirement has become
a sore spot") that some instructors are
unimaginative about writing assignments. Her
argument about making excuses for returning
students being thrown into intensive writing
assignments because they lack the skills is an
absurd excuse.
The real world also has assignments and
duties one must complete to be successful at
life. The university is a mere training ground for
the grueling graduate work and/or labor market.
The other opinion article that I disagree with
is David Hammond's editorial titled 'Teaching
goals need evaluation." .
Mr. Hammond asserts that many students are
exhausted with the amount of work required for
upper division courses. I believe that the assignments are hard and challenging, but is not life or
attaining an advanced degree hard and challenging?
Another point, where I disagree with Mr.
Hammond, is with the way the faculty is retained.
He states that student evaluations should account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion

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

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

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

What happened to Major League
Baseball? How could America's
Greatest Pastime come down to the
greed of the ball player wanting more
money than the guy who's playing
next to him?
This is a team sport It takes all 24
players to work together to win a
pennant, but sometime you wouldn't
know i t
Some say the fiasco of these high
priced players started with the California Angels' signing ofpitcher Mark
Langston to a $16 million contract
last year. A $ 16 million contract, huh?
Of course, owner Gene Autry had one
thing in mind, and that was the hope
for a championship season. Langston
instead had a disappointing year and
still continues not to shine unlike he

did before he signed for big money.
How does a sport with so much
memorable history behind it bail out
of what seems to be an upcoming
economic problem? Let the highpriced players finish their contracts
out, then put a salary cap on them.
Those who don't want to play for less
money will have to find work elsewhere.
To fill the void, there's thousands
of young, aspiring minor league ball
players who would love to get a shot
in the bigs and become the new heroes
our era.
Something has got to happen. They
say in a few years, we'll be chocking
out bucks to watch the world series on
pay-for-view television. C'mon, let's
keep tradition.
We can't lose a sport like baseball
that has given us so many memories
and so many stars to remember. What
about the all-star games, the Championship play-offs and the fall classic
known as the World Series. They're
too precious to let go or see slide
away.
What happened to the dynasties of
baseball? Gone. How can one forget
the Cincinnati Reds' "big red machine" of the 1970s, the Dodger Blue
wrecking crew, the New York Yankees' Bronx bombers, thePhiladelphia
Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates?
Those powerhouses are long since
gone.
Let'sbring therealexcitementback
to the game like the goose bumps of
hearing Vin Scully call the Dodgers'
Kirk Gibsons' 1988 World Series
homerun in game one against the
Oakland As.
I believe baseball is here to stay,
but it has to take a new direction. It's
going to hit something and unless
something doesn't change, the sport
many love could be headed for problems. Hopefully it won't hurt the fans
as far as their wallets are concerned.

was a corny rub-on tattoo.
By the first pitch of the fourth
inning, I was ready for a hot dog. The
stale bun and indeterminable meat
product inside made me wonder why
baseball and hot dogs are inexorably
linked.
The flavor of the dog was crying
"foul" in my mouth by the fifth inning,
so I bought another Schlitz. It was a
little less tasteless than before.
I thought for sure I could get on
base during the sixth with an order of
ball park nachos. Thechips themselves
had no flavor and the sauce had the
watery consistency of the goo on the
dugout floor created by tobaccochewing pitchers. Yet, they tasted
better than anything so far.

the seventh-inning stretch/I emitted a
large belch and made room for more
baseball snacks.
During the eighth, I decided to
give the hot dogs another try. This
dog, for some unexplainable reason,
was the best I'dever tasted. I followed
it down with a box of popcorn, an ice
Cream sandwich, a churro and some
cotton candy. All were bursting with
flavor.
I tried the Cracker Jacks again in
the ninth, but got a crummy prize.
The total cost of the day's game
was $47.20. Service was excellent,
with vendors of all kinds roaming the
stands, and the atmosphere hit a
homerun in my book.
For those of you who like to go to
the ball park for just the food, you can
find better quality at a nearby movie
theatre, circus or swap meet. But,
none of those places have vendors
that can hit a bull's eye with a bag of
peanuts at a hundred yards.

R EGINA JOHN/PIONEER
Who has not at one time or
another dreamt of sailing around the
world - or at least into the sunset?
Who among us can look at that
certain painting or photograph
depicting a glistening ocean, blue
sky and a lone white sail at the
horizon without longing for distant
shores?
What is perhaps man's oldest
mode of travel on the waters of the
world still creates a lot of excitement today.
The passion for sailing could
clearly be felt at the May 3 opening
ceremonies for the 1991 International America's Cup Class
Championship at Seaport Village in
San Diego. The America's Cup
Committee, in conjunction with the
San Diego Port District, built an
International Village, adjacent to
Seaport Village, and a gigantic
stage on which opening and closing
ceremonies were presented and
entertainment throughout the week
took place.
Opening events
drew a good-sized
crowd of San Diegans
and sailing enthusiasts
from all over the
world, who gave the
suntanned crews and
their skippers from six
countries a hearty
welcome.
After addresses
from San Diego Mayor Maureen
O'Connor and other dignitaries,
ceremonies concluded with a truly
spectacular firework displays.
Racing on the approximately 22
nautical mile course off Point Loma
began the next day, and continued
daily until Saturday. Nine boats in
all were entered: U.S.A., three
(including Stars and Strips); Italy,
two; New Zealand, one; Japan, one
for the first time; Spain, one; and
France with one boat.
Fleet races, including all boats in
some, went on for the first five
days, semi-finals took place Friday
and finals occured Saturday.
Italy^s IIMor di Venezia, doing
well throughout the week, won the
semi-finals and went on to run a
perfect race to win against New
Zealand in the finals. Award
ceremonies took pace Saturday
evening and concluded with another
show of breathtaking fireworks.
But it's not over y et
Races will go on for an entire
year. The exciting events of the past
week were just the kick-off for "The
Year of the Cup" in San Diego,
culminating with the competition
for the coveted "America's Cup" by
May 1992.
Even though Dennis Conner
withdrew Stars and Stripes out of
this year's race before the finals,
perhaps Mayor O'Conner's quip
from her opening speech "... and
may the best Dennis Conner win"
will still turn out to be prophetic.
Championship sails into area
The same breeze that ruffled the flags in
downtown San Diego filled the sails of the
yachts participating in the'International
America's Cup Class World Championship
races this week. The same swells that gave
the surfers great hang ten waves gave the
yachts ten or 12-foot troughs to plunge down
andriseout of.

These "Ferraries of ocean racing" translate

into tremendous speed.
Besides the U.S.A., 11 nations competed
in the World Championship races.
By the semi-finals, after U.S.A.'s Dennis
Conners pulled out the Stars and Stripes, the
yachts from Italy, New Zealand and Japan
competed for the final run on Saturday.

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

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

College seeks candidates
for first student council
Cal State San Marcos' Student
Governance Task Force is now looking for candidates wishing to form the
university's first Associated Student
Council.
Ernest Zomalt, Dean of Student
Services, said the council will comprised of a President, two representatives from each College, four undergraduates at-large and two post-baccalaureates at-large. These positions
will form a representative model of
government, established by the Task
Force's AS Constitution.
"We have an interesting government model," said Z omalt "It allows
for one elected leader: President."
The President's powers include
being senior representative of the AS,
presiding over AS Council meetings
and recommending the appointment
of all students to AS and university
committees. The President does not
vote, except to break a tie.
The AS Council is charged with
setting policies and procedures for
the AS and obtaining and disseminating information which affects the AS
and its members.
Representatives from the specific
colleges will be easier to obtain," he
said. "The at-large students will be a
little bit of a challenge."
Elections Committee forming
While seeking candidates to establish the first Associated Council at
Cal State San Marcos, Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt and the
Student Governance Task Force are also establishing an Elections
Committee.
This group will set standards for campaigning, hold candidate forums, organize the election and be accountable for the tabulating the
results.
Zomalt also explained the committee will work with the three fee
measures for the election. They will read the measures and make sure
they are understandable.
The Elections Committee will also tabulate the results of the Student
Government Elections April 22-23. They will then forward to results to
CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Once confirmed, the AS Council will take
office the first Monday in June and establish CSUSM's first student
government.
Any student interested serving on this council should contact the
Student Services office.
According to Zomalt, the AS
C onstitution's r equirements f or
CSUSM'selected officers specify that
a candidate be a "Member of the associated students and in good academic
standing at the time of election and
during tenure in office."
Candidates can receive information regarding candidacy from the
Student Services Office.
Once candidates are acknowledged, Zomalt said the university will
hold a candidate's forum before the
elections on April 22-23. Originally
scheduled for April 15-16, the elections have been postponed one week.

Senior Business P artners Program
Hewlett-Packard has committed to
become the first Senior Business
Partner for CSU, San Marcos' new
business outreach program.
"The College of B usiness Administration is delighted to announce the
decision of Hewlett-Packard to become our first Senior Business Partner," said Dean Bernard Hinton. "It is
a great vote of confidence for our new
Business Partners Program to see the
community respond in the way that
Hewlett-Packard has."
The Senior Business Partners are
the most advanced level of the fourlevel Business Partners Program recently introduced by the College of
Business Administration. The program was design to forge a strong link
between the university and the business community and to offer both
individuals and organizations the
opportunity to have a substantial
impact upon the education of tomorrow's business leaders.
"By stepping forward as the first
participant in this program," Hinton
said, "Hewlett-Packard has made a
strong statement about their support
for our efforts to provide a relevant
educational experience for our students.
"Their commitment, in becoming
our partner in the educational process, not only encourages us, but also
encourages other individuals and
businesses to become involved as
well."
Hinton also announced that Larry
Brown, General Manager of H P's San
Diego Color Imaging Division, has
been invited to become the first
member of the College of Business
Administration's Dean's Advisory
Council.
"Hewlett-Packard is pleased to
support the CSU San Marcos Business Partners Program," Brown said.
"In keeping with our corporate citizen objective, HP encourages its
operations and employees to contribute their time, talent and financial
support to organizations that benefit
the communities win which we operate. We look forward to a productive
partnership with CSUSM."
"We look forward with great expectations to a very close working
relationship with companies such as
Hewlett-Packard and are delighted at
their sense of corporate responsibility
and willingness to work with us in
accomplishing the mission of the
college," Hinton said.
The Business Mentors Program,
which assigns each student in the
College to a personal business mentor, in only one of the programs in the
Business Partners Program. Other
portions of the Business Partners
Program include programs designed
f or individual businessmen, small
companies, and corporations.
The university has indicated that it
is prepared to send materials to anyone in the business community that is
interested in learning more about the
programs.
�Exercising important for healthy diet plan
What Tommy LaSorta and the
makers of Slim-Fast, among many
other makers of weight control products, forget to tell you in their ads is
that you have to exercise to achieve
safe and lasting weight loss.
With a restrictive diet alone, rapid
weight loss may occur in the early
stages as the body's glucose (sugar)
stores are depleted and some water is
lost. After that, a safe diet will cause
only gradual weight loss - up to about
a pound a week - and it comes at the
cost of substantial calorie restriction.
One pound of fat contains 3,500calo-

that regular exercise of moderate intensity doesn't increase appetite, but
there's no evidence that it decreases
appetite. Again, the weight loss is
slow because it takes significant exercise to lose weight.
With the combination of diet and
exercise, you can be moderate in both
and safely lose from one-and-a-half
to two pounds per week. Hunger and
fatigue may be less of a problem than
with either approach alone.
Also, exercise maintains your
metabolic rate and helps to assure that
the weight lost is mainly fat, not

muscle. Exercise improves your body
composition (the relative amounts of
f at and lean tissue) more than the
weight toss alone would indicate.
The same exercise that is recommended for cardiovascular fitness will
benefit your efforts at weight loss.
This is moderate aerobic exercise for
30 minutes (maybe in 10 minute
blocks) at least three times per week.
If you have question about the
safety of exercising for yourself, see
your physician or Health Services for
specific guidance about how much
and how hard to exercise.

CSUSM spurs largest development plan
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
any students attending the
other 19 Cal State University
campuses haven't heard of the new
addition to their academic system.
Even some local students and residents in San Marcos don't know of
the new university here.
But for the people who work for
the city, Cal State San Marcos has
been a main focal point for the community's future development and
growth. The university has spurred a
project entitled, 'Heart of the City,'
an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the future college campus.
"Thegenesisofthisprojectevolved
before the CSU Trustees chose San
Marcos," said Paul Malone, San
Marcos Deputy City Manager. "The
city made a conscious decision to go
after Cal State San Marcos."
Malone explained the city's strong
desire to house the future educational
institution, competing with neighboring Carlsbad for the state's attention.
"We put together a package deal
that the state couldn' t refuse," Malone
said.
The main anchor of the project
came with the city's agreement to
allow CSU officials to get directly
involved with the design and organization of the p roject
"The state had a huge say on land
choices," Malone said. He said the
site Carlsbad was offering was in a
valley, an area hard to develop. San
Marcos, in comparison, offered a
large, open, fertile piece of land.
CSU chose the Twin Oaks Valley
Road and Barham Drive site, just off
Highway 78, to corner the university.
The site has freeway visibility, is
centrally located in North County so
San Diego and Orange County/Riverside residents have easy access along
with local students, and is in the geographic center of San Marcos and
North San Diego County.
"San Marcos doesn't have a downtown," Malone said. "With 'Heart of
the City,' we hope to create a central
focus for the city with the university
as the anchor of the p roject"
With the surrounding zoning,
Malone said the master plan would
give travelers a certain feel for the
area.
" We'll establish a sense of place
along highway 78," he said. " You're
really going to know something is
there."
As the p roject continues, San
Marcos routes all designs and plans
through the university f or review.
Conversely,CSUSM informs the city
on all its construction matters.
T
he •Heart of the City' area encompass nearly 1,600 acres, less
than half the acreage of the CSUSM
permanent campus.
With the university standing in the
center, the boundaries go slightly past

The University
The State of California has started a full-service university-level educational facility. Initial planning is for a two-year, upper-division and
post-graduate studies facility transitioning to a full four-year campus.
The campus master plan provides for the eventual development of a
35,000 student campus.
Twin Oaks Valley work begins
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
The Civic Center
The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include: City Hall, conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center,
commercial offices, a hotel, park and open space incorporating a major
water feature. The City Hall complex design will give special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the
freeway, to compliment the large clock tower at Cal State San MarcoS.
The Business Park
The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks
in a master planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and
health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation
shall be conducive to high quality uses. No driverthru facilities will be
allowed.
The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation is the apparent low bidder in the
$10 million construction project to
widen Twin Oaks Valley Road and
Barham drive to accommodate the
future site of Cal State San Marcos.
With a budget of $ 10.2 million, the
city of San Marcos received the
Vadnais bid of $7,370,403, the lowest
out of nine interested companies.
"We are happy," said Bob Rager,
an estimator with the Solana Beach
company. "Our company has worked
with the city of San Marcos before.

housing.
"If we lease some of this area to
businesses, then it will pay for itself in
the long run," Malone said.
Koll Construction of San Marcos
has won the city's approval to design
this center. Out of several different
companies, Koll submitted the best
conceptual drawing for the center.
The rendering included two plaza
areas, one within a shopping district
and the other among the governmental buildings.
Koll is now working with that
concept and with the city to design the
final Town Center complex.
The University Center, although
not detailed in its design or arrangement at this time, will include a variety of different businesses.
A San Marcos Chamber of Commerce flyer states: "The Corporate
Park will allow research and development and light industrial uses as well
as corporate headquarters complexes
and potential hotel developments."

Future campus will be late,
but final product worth wait
As CSUSM has
discovered, the need
for a university in
such a high-growth
area is tremendous.
Already the university has changed its
plans for a student
population in excess
of 30,000 when the
STAFF EDITORIAL
campus is completed decades from now. Originally, the university expected
a population of 25,000.
In short, San Marcos got the project because of good
planning.
One needs only to take a look at other nearby universities
to see what poor planning can do.
San Diego State, for instance, is an architectural goulash
that cannot nearly accommodate its rising population. The
buildings are more a source of student stacking than community pride.
At the University of California at San Diego there is no
sense at all of a college community. Inside its vast acreage of
buildings is an architecturally nice microcosm that does not
in any way blend in with its surroundings. The college looks
like an island amid an indifferent community.
Even though many of the students now attending CSUSM
won't be around to attend the finished campus, they can all
More importantly, the campus and the City of San Marcos are look back at their alma mater with pride.
In 1992 when the campus doesn't appear, the best advice

the future. According to last year's census, San Marcos is the fastest is to lug your books to your shopping center campus with the

_„ __
."'„'„, knowledge that the best is yet to come.
In the wake of recent storms, drought problems and contractor
disputes, Cal State San Marcos officials are hard-pressed to finish
construction on their $650-700 million showcase campus by its fall
1992 scheduled openingxlate. Unfortunately, in the world of construction nothing ever goes as planned.
Even though Campus Construction and Physical Planning still
remains hopeful that the new university can be ready on time, they
must seriously face the fact that space will be desperately needed to
accommodate the anticipated flow of students to CSUSM when the
campus doesn't magically appear.
But future students need not despair. One glance at the plans of the
future university and the college community concept of the4Heart of
the City* project and it is evident that here is one good thing worth
waiting for.
Nowhere in the CSU system, the UC system or any other university
system in this nation can be found such a remarkable symbiotic
relationship as that which CSUSM and San Marcos share.
When both the new campus and the 'Heart of the City' projects are
completed, San Marcos will be magically transformed into a walkthrough Mediterranean village. If the plans are followed through and
the project is not rushed, the result will be a showcase campus
community.
The whole concept can, in part, be credited to the city of San
Marcos, which at great expense, put forth a plan that the college
couldn't refuse. They offered to widen roads to eight lanes and
construct a major community center which reflects the style of the
campus.
OUR VIEWS
P IONEER /TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991
Republicans lack
insight into key
domestic issues
As a culture and a nation of people, Americans are
known for their impatience with problem solving. That is
one good reason, for instance, why the Gulf War' s success
was greeted with euphoria. A protracted conflict, while
plausible, would have paid far less political dividends to
the Republicans. This fact, coupled with the Democrats'
apparent impotence at finding a viable leadership figure,
poises the GOP for enormous domination during the next
decade of public policy making.
Only history
will judge the prudence of a Republican-forged
agenda that will inevitably usher in
the next century.
In other words, a

ally a time to dictate the nation's long-term goals—can end up tragically
neglected if harnessed to short-term planning.
Particularly in areas of domestic policy, the standard
Republican party reliance on market forces has proven to
be as void of sophistication as the liberal Democratic
allegiance to the Great Society mythology. As far back as
Eisenhower's reluctance to endorse school desegregation
in Little Rock, Arkansas, and extending to the veto of the
Civil Rights Act of 1990, the GOP's proactivity in championing the poor has been sheer inactivity. President Bush
has even stated his preference for foreign affairs.
This attitude is to be expected: foreign policy permits
quick, noble, dramatic scenes, like the eviction of Iraq
from Kuwait. Domestic problems, on the other hand, offer
no euphoric conclusions, have less direct impact on the
wealthy, and tend to be unresponsive to short-term solutions. Hence, the GOP is hardly concerned with forging
better domestic policy when the bird of political dominance is well in hand anyway.
As stated, the bad news for the country will be evident
a decade or so from now, when we are paying, more than
ever, for the lack of domestic problem solving. The detriments will be widespread across all the areas of Republican
indifference: the environment, education, health care, and
race relations. Sadly, seizing this moment, and making
great history, are unnecessary to achieving the short-term
goal of reelection.
A less disastrous outlook features democrats finding an
outside, untested candidate. This powerful, unusual nominee would be able to articulate the liberals' last vestige government as social healer - while embracing America's
renewed faith in a strong military presence. Virtually the
only bearer of these standards is Gen. Colin Powell, the
Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
While Gen. Powell is politically balanced in his advocacy of both affirmative action and military adequacy,
interested supporters will have to overcome one obstacle:
he hates politics. On the other hand, so did two other
Generals-turned-President: Washington and Eisenhower.

A T HOUGHTS
"Always do right. It
will gratify some and
astonish the rest."
MARK TWAIN
I was at the Feb. 28/March 1 meeting of the
Statewide Academic Senate that voted to urge
CSU campuses to eliminate ROTC programs
until the Department of Defense ends its discrimination against gays and lesbians. I am one
of the two senators from San Marcos to sit in the
Academic Senate: I voted for the resolution and
I am proud of it
It is true that a ban on ROTC will disadvantage low-income students in the CSU: certainly
one of the few ways which our government
chooses to support either education or economic mobility in our society through the military. But the editors of the Pioneer should not
blame the Academic Senate for this state of
affairs; rather the Pioneer should put the blame
squarely where it belongs - on the Department
of Defense. I can assure you that the day the
DOD rescinds its ban on homosexuals in the
military, I will vote to restore ROTC programs
on CSU campuses.
Despite disclaimers, the Pioneer's editorial
is homophobic. I fail to understand what besides
their homosexuality disqualifies these men and
women from serving their country. How can
someone suggest that gays and lesbians are not
people of the "highest moral character" and not
be a homophobe? Does the Pioneer really believe that the high moral character is a litmus
test for enlistment? If so, can the Pioneer assure
me that the U.S. military screens out tax cheats,
adulterers, spouse and/or child abusers, alcoholics and/or drug users and overly aggressive,
violent personalities from its ranks with the
same relish that it goes after homosexuals?
The Pioneer i s wrong. There are gays and
lesbians in the military: lots of them. And they
serve alongside their comrades with a minimum
of conflict and with great distinction. Let me tell
the Pioneer's readers about one such soldier.
Perry Watkins served in the army for 16 years as
an openly gay man. He received the highest
possible evaluations until he was unceremoniously discharged. An appeals court ordered him
reinstated on the grounds that the Army had no
right to discharge Mr. Watkins since it had
repeatedly allowed him to re-enlist even though
it knew he was gay: last year the U.S. Supreme
Court let the ruling stand.
Today thousands of homosexual soldiers,
sailors, marines and air force personnel are
serving in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Some have
been told that they face discharge after they
return from the war. The military has told them,
in effect, that they can serve their country in war
time, that they can die for their country, but that
they are not good enough to serve it in peacetime.
Where is the fairness in the military's behavior? I c an't see i t Just as I c an't see as fair a
military sponsored educational program that
asks the CSU to grant academic credit for
"military science" subjects and then limit access to that program by discriminating against
homosexuals and anyone who has harbored a
homosexual thought. That* right The military
asks ROTC candidates to sign a statement declaring that they are not homosexuals and that

FORUM
they have never entertained homosexual ideas.
That's a standard that few of us could m eet Is
thq Pioneer suggesting that people lie in order to
become "spotless examples o f... social morality?"
So get off the Academic Senate's back, Pioneer. If you really care about restoring access to
educational benefits for disadvantaged students,
then write the Department of Defense, your
congressional representatives, even the President and tell them that you want them to end
their discrimination against the fine young gay
and lesbian students who want to serve their
country and to get access to those same educational benefits. You wouldn't tolerate them
discriminating against racial or religious minorities and you c an't tolerate them discriminating against a minority whose sexual orientation
is not yours.

ROTC needs support
There has been many opinions in \hcPioneer
which I did not agree with, but I chose not to
respond to them in the "Your Views" section
because I did not feel strongly enough about a
particular story or opinion to respond with a
written rebuttal. But, I have changed my position about not responding because of one story
that was printed in the Pioneer on March 19 of
this year. The story that I am speaking about, is
the CSU Academic Senate calling for a systemwide ban of ROTC because ROTC discriminates against homosexuals.
When the CSU Academic Senate passed the
resolution on March 1, they stated, "the ROTC

program's discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation is a violation of basic human rights
and inimical to the values of the university, and
is a violation of non-discrimination policy for
the CSU system," as reported in the Pioneer.
The first question that must be asked: Is ROTC
violating the basic human rights of certain students? I believe that the ROTC is not violating
any humanrightsbecause ROTC is not essential
for an individual's existence. The second question that must be asked: IS ROTC violating the
values of the University? I believe it is not
violating the values of the university because
the university's values should parallel the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but if the university's values allow for the deviant behavior
of some, then I must agree with the CSU Academic Senate that ROTC violates the university's values.
Everyone remembers the speedy victory of
our troops in the Persian Gulf against Saddam
Hussein. Where did the military get most of its
officers? The military got most of their officers
from the ROTC programs run by the Army,
Navy and Air Force. I believe ROTC is essential
for the recruitment and training for the future
officers thatfillthe positions in the Army, Navy,
Air Force and Marine Corps. Therefore, the
ROTC is an investment in the young people of
today and the national security of tomorrow.
The CSU Academic Senate claims that the
ROTC is discriminating against homosexuals.
But, if the CSU Academic Senate gets its way on
the ROTC issue, then the Academic Senate is
also guilty of discrimination. They would be
infringing on the rights of students because
students interested in participating in ROTC
would not have the opportunity to do so. L et's
say, for the sake of argument, that a student who
has a limited income chooses to participate in
ROTC and then suddenly the ROTC program is
expelled from the CSU campuses. Then the
student has to attend an expensive private university to participate in the ROTC program, or
has to withdraw from the CSU because he or she
cannot afford school without the ROTC scholarship. Does the CSU Academic Senate want to
be responsible for the withdrawal of tens of
hundreds of students because they have to impose
their beliefs of individuals who pay their salaries and for their facilities in which they do their
research to further their careers and their academic reputation?
I call on the students of CSU San Marcos to
reject this feeble-minded resolutions from the
CSU Academic Senate because i t's an attempt
by the CSU Academic Senate to impose their
ultra-liberal views on us as students and on our
institutions in which we fund and control as
citizens of the state of California. Furthermore,
if the CSU chooses to expel ROTC from the
campuses, then they should expect lobbying of
state and federal legislators to create abill which
cuts off all federal and state funds to the CSU
system, and heavily tax any gifts that the CSU
receives.

J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Without a theater or even any type
of performing arts department, Cal
State San Marcos will hold its first
theatrical performance this Sunday
with a presentation of 'The Meeting,'
a one-act play.
CSUSM's StudentLounge, aroom
where everything from orientations
to conceits are held, will be transformed to resemble a Harlem hotel
room, the set for 'The Meeting.'
"We've rented three sets of staging; the rest would have to be done
with imagination," said Donald Funes,
Liberal Arts Dean. " It's radio for the
eyes."
The simple set allows for the
meeting of Martin Luther King, Jr.
and Malcolm X. The two leaders
engage in an arm-wrestling challenge.
" It's based on three arm-wrestling
games that Martin Luther King and
Malcolm X have," Funes said. "King
wins one, Malcolm wins the other and
they tie the last. It signifies what would
happen if they were working together."
Funes said the one-act play is an
Rocky and Bullwinkle
stab a t conventionalit
When I was a kid I was told by my
mom that brussels sprouts (the bane of
all children) were only tiny cabbages. I
suddenly developed a hate for cab. As I grew older, I found that
really isn't so bad. Even
brussels sprouts, when smothered in cheese sauce, are
mostly edible.
The same thing goes
«for'The Rocky and
Bullwinkle Show.'
When I was a kid, the
shoddy animation and
corny dialogue of the
program always inspired
me to switch the channel to
Bugs Bunny, or even — gag
— Felix the Cat. As an adult,
however, I am forced to reevaluate my position.
Sure the dialogue is still corny
the animation still stinks, but now
see things in the cartoon that slipped
by my younger mind. Hidden among
the terrible puns, the script constantly
smacks the establishment alongside the
head.
We know the heroes: there's the
whimpy flying squirrel, Rocky, and the
lanky, dull-witted moose Bullwinkle.
Together they haplessly fall into
adventure after adventure. Neither of
our two protagonists seems to be
particularly heroic, but the two make a
likeable duo.

Of course Rocky and Bullwinkle
always end up victorious over their
arch-rivals, but it isn't because of their
massive intellects. They win in the end
simply because we expect them to, and
survive the most harrowing cliffhangers ever devised in cartoonville.
The best part about the cartoon is
the sharp witted script which stabs at
everything from smog to television.
The show even mocks itself at times.
In one scene, Boris and Natasha are off
to get an A-bomb to destroy our
heroes. Bullwinkle makes the observation that, "A-bomb is what some
people will call our program."
In between spurts of RockyBullwinkle storyline are regular short
skits in the program. One such short is
'Fractured Fairy Tales.'
As you probably guessed, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' gives nice malignant
twists to classic childhood stories.
One episode has a wolf who is
trying to kick the habit of eating Little
Red Riding Hoods. Of course the wolf
gets thrashed by both Little Red Riding
Hood and her meek grandma. I won't
tell you the ending, but suffice to say
that nobody lives happily ever after.

beliefs Malcolm X and Martin Luther

tide of discrimination.
The performers are with the Orange County Black Actors Theater.
They include Bingwa, Curtis Thomas
and Caril Gillard. Adaline Hunter is
the director.
"This is a total professional com-
pany," Funes said.
Performance starts at 7 p.m. on
April 7 and will last about an hour.
There is no charge, but Funes points
out that there is limited seating.

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

The inside of Escondido'sT-Bird diner shows the old-fashioned atmosphere.
Rock t o good music, roll in
good food a t T-Bird Diner
For those collegiate gourmets
yearning for a good, nostalgic dinner
served by button-clad waitresses and
highlighted by Buddy Holly music,
the T-Bird Diner in Escondido will
keep you rockin' with great tunes arid
rollin' in good food.
The restaurant is reminiscent of a
classic 50s diner. Neon lights beam
from every wall. A classic T-Bird sits
in the dining areas with posters of
Rock and Roll legends like Elvis, The
Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
But, more than the atmosphere, the
food at the T-Bird will remain in your
memory and on your tastebuds for
years to come.
All dinners at the T-Bird are served
with macaroni and cheese, potato salad
or jello. The macaroni and cheese is
especially sumptuous with a gentle
sprinkle of paprika on top.
No diner would be complete with-

out a menu rich in hamburgers. The
T-Bird offers eight different burgers
named after waitresses which appeal
to burgermeisters who like to experiment
My favorite is the Rory Burger.
The Rory has bacon strips, mayo,
lettuce and peanut butter. It is a taste
sensation that sticks to the roof of
your mouth. The best thing about the
Rory is the money back guarantee for
those who are not satisfied with its
flavor.
The meat loaf is almost as good as
m om's, with over 15 ingredients
mixed throughout it. The mashed
potatoes, that accompany the dish,
have chunks of meat and onion to add

an extra homemade touch.
Overall, the menu has everything
one would expect from a nostalgic
diner. There's even liver and onions
for the eater who likes to munch on
soft organs.
The soda fountain is a must-try for
anyone that likes the sweeter things in
life. Here you can order anything from
an egg cream to a hot fudge sundae. I
ordered a Green Frog, a lime-flavored
fizzy drink served with a sidecar of
ice cream. The drink had me jumping
for more.
For adult diners, the T-Bird offers

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