The CSUSM College
Republicans welcomed
California State Senator
Dennis Hollingsworth to
campus- last Thursday in
order to discuss the state's
current budget deficit and
some possible solutions.
Hollingsworth, a Republican
who is in his first term of
office, represents the 36
district, an area that spans
from Temecula to El Cajon.
An audience of 15 to 20
club members listened to
Hollingsworth's speech,
which touched on how the
budget will affect CSUSM
and how California found
itself in this position on the
fourth floor of Academic
Hall on Thursday afternoon.
He also explained the plans
that Republicans have for
fixing the current budget
situation.

Nominations for the
Harry E. Brakebill Award
Outstanding Professor
Award are due by this
Thursday, May 1. This
award is named after a
founding member of the
Cal State San Marcos
foundation board and
former CSU executive
vice chancellor, Harry
E. Brakebill. The award
has been handed out
since 1993, and has
replaced the outstanding
professor award. Eight
professors have been
nominated so far this
year.
The award is given
every October to a
faculty member who
has made exceptional
contributions to their
students, discipline,
and community. The
teacher's record as an
educator is considered
above anything else,
but the creative quality
of their teaching, their
service to the campus and
outside communities,
and the quality of their
outside research is also
taken into consideration.
Typically, around 11
professors compete for
the award. The nominees
will spend the summer
compiling a dossier,
which is reviewed by
the selection committee
before a winner is
announced in October.

says that once a program, which
increases the faculty's workload,
is established, the administration
would be reluctant to have it discontinued.
Diehr explained that changing
courses from three units to four
would decrease the number of
classes required for some degrees,
but it does not decrease the total
number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units
would come from the elimination
of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine
UDGE units would shift to the
major courses.
Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already
has four unit classes, so there is
some question as to which colleges
and departments would adapt this
model.

that each department would make
their own decisions and adjust
its curriculum so courses would
retain their value. *He repeated that
increasing classes to four units
and eliminating the UDGE were
just suggestions, and that unless
proposed by the task force, they
are only topics for discussion.
Montanari added, "Since this is
an academic institution, most of
the things to make it distinctive
have to do with education," and
the "changes could be pedagogical
and not necessarily have to involve
increasing units or changing content." ~
Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs
would help the university recruit
students and faculty as well as

They also should help the
nominated teacher gather
the letters of support they
need, as it can be awkward
for the nominee to solicit
these on their own.
Occasionally, a teacher
decides not to participate,
due to the amount of work
involved in compiling
a dossier. The dossier,
due by the first week of
September, is the only thing
the selection committee
looks at while making
its selection. It contains
the nomination letter, a
statement of the nominees'
teaching philosophy, their
curriculum, letters of
support from colleagues
and students, and evidence
of their contributions as
educators, professionals,
and members of the
community.
The selection committee
was chosen through
election in the academic
senate this spring and is
composed of one teacher
from each CSUSM college,
one part-time professor,
one former winner of
the Brakebill award, one
librarian, one student
representative from ASI,
and one administrator. The
members of the committee
are not allowed to nominate
anyone. They review the
dossiers and make their
recommendation to the
president, who announces
the winner to the campus
community during the first
week of October.
The university provides
funds to award the winner.
The amount has changed
over the years; last year it
was $1500. The winner will

of 27 senators. In the

the floor to questions. The
questions ranged in subject

was later proven to not exist,
and the effect of President

30-minute on California.
Hollingsworth explained
that federal laws prohibits
the taxation of tribes without
their consent, and that the
tribes could not produce
the 1.5 million dollars that
Davis attributed to the
Indian gaming revenue.
Hollingsworth also said,
"Davis went into office in
1999 with a record surplus
and has turned it into a
record deficit." He clarified
that Davis did not claim
to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that
the state has had a surplus
while he has been governor.
Finally, Hollingsworth said,
when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would
have to follow the same
movement and commented,
"People will avoid tax
increases, [and] a tax cut will
generate jobs and spending
revenues."

�American Idol or America's Most inWanted
connection with a bar fight in
By GERALD JONES
Pride Staff Writer
And then there were eight,
after American Idol finalist
Corey Clark was kicked off the
shoW Monday, March 31. Clark
is allegedly being accused of
attacking his 15 year old sister in
October 2002 and resisting arrest.
When producers learned of his
misdemeanor charge of battery
and resisting arrest they made
the decision to remove him from
the show. The 22 year old Kansas
native, "withheld information
about a prior arrest, which had it
been known, might have affected
his participation in the show,"
Fox stated. "The producers and
the network feel that Corey's
behavior warrants his disqualification."
The news was leaked to the
press by a website called "The
Smoking Gun," which stated
that Clark was facing trial April
15, 2003 for assault and resisting
arrest. The smoking gun website
also released the not-so-pretty
mug shots of American Idol final-
ist Trenyce who was arrested in
1999 for theft charges. However,
Trenyce revealed her past charges
with the producers of the show so
it was not a big shock when the
photos were released.
Each one of the finalists goes
through an in-depth background
check in order to alleviate this
type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to
disclose everything about their
past - good or bad. Clark slipped
through the cracks because of a
typo. The police report that was
filed had misspelled his name,
so when American Idol did the
background check, nothing was
discovered about his pending
charges.
Clark is the third contestant
to be removed from the show.

Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis
M to the masses through t
hat eing
By JAMAL SCARLETT
Pride Staff Writer
Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning
of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my,
rock and roll will never die! There is more to the
picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly
in the ears of our world, considering that many find
their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is
hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or
hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our
social condition has had an undeniable effect on the
way we live today.
However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics
that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out?
When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent
behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct
laws in place and think we have done everything in our
power?
Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up
to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and
rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes
from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in
many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk.
Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this
concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young
listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a
Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when
you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into
their subconscious what we want to say."
medium gives witness to why much of everything is
falling apart. The social construction of the family,
our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning...
where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen
violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the
United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen
pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried
cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase
in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among
teens.
With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical
content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and
practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly
because they are created for you^h and for the appetites
of youth. They are produced with the most advanced
technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current
motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools,
parents and police.
The events at Columbine High School are a great
example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners.
Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening
fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described
going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song,
"Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows:
"You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill
I hurt you and you cry out loud
Now you're afraid and I'm ready
My black blood soils your dress
I'm getting more and more excited by your screams
.. .hails into my sick brain
now you're afraid and now I'm ready!
My sick being screams for redemption
Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold
There's no god in my heaven!"
This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the
medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like
the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the
mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus
is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a
medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money,
power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect
on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical
setting.

Nevertheless, if we disregard the lyrical captivation
by the music industry, we appear to be left with the
irrefutable fact that such language in music allows us
to be increasingly primitive, fragmented, and largely
aimed at invoking a visceral response. Plato once
wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they,
the people, deceived themselves into thinking that
there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be
judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of
lawbreaking!"

�Protestors DO Support Their Troops
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
Since the
Bush
administration began to
work toward a war in Iraq,
there have been numerous
protests against the war.
The protestors have claimed
that peace is the route to be
taken. They have done this
a variety of ways including
the traditional peace walks
and demOTistrations but also
through emailing Congress
representatives
and
spreading the word about
peace through concerts,
flyers and emails. Many of
these actions have stressed
supporting peace. However,
protestors have constantly
been stereotyped as hating
America and being against
the troops.
Each protestor has his
or her own motivation for
wanting peace and many
have other interests, such as
being active in other groups
that are not necessarily
peace motivated. Some may
not like America and may
not support the troops. But a
large majority of protestors,
especially in San Diego,
do not share that opinion.
The protestors believe that
peace is the best possible
way to support the troops,
but those who are pro war
believe that the protestors
are against the troops.
We all have friends and
family who are serving
and many us know of
someone fighting in Iraq.
Claiming that protestors do
not support the military is
ignorance. *
America is privileged
because it is protected by
an armed force that consists
of volunteers, not draftees.
Therefore our troops
have chosen Jto protect
our nation. Protestors
understand that, and they
also support a country that
does not invoke a draft. It
is also understood that a

to protect our country, and

It also should be published in Alternet.org,
author David Lynch writes,
"Both pro- and anti-war
activists seem to agree
that we need to support our
soldiers. However, the two
sides disagree on the best
way to do it." It is unfair for
the protestors to accuse the
administration and pro-war
activists of false behaviors
and actions and it is equally
wrong to accuse protestors
of not supporting their
troops.
Protesting the war does
not equate hating this
country. A large number of
protestors realize that this
country enables them to
protest. Protesting the war
also does not equate a lack
of support for the troops.

I have had a huge
lesson in humility and
introspection over the past
few weeks. Also, with Earth
Day having just passed, I
have been thinking about
a way in which I can help
make a difference for the
health of the environment.
I have been using the public

walking to work. My car

emergence of fraternities,
sororities, clubs, and now
with the completion of
the new student housing,
it is obvious that CSUSM
is blossoming into a
prepubescent social being.
CSUSM is slowly straying
away from being classified
as a commuter school, and
is taking its place along
side other established
schools. Through this
metamorphosis, I feel that
there needs to be changes
that cater to the desires of
the student body, and not
solely to the infrastructure
of the institution.
Many students are
likely to argue that a pub
would not foster a positive
tradition, nor promote a
hçalthy social environment.
For some, a negative
impression that a pub may
make on the community,
is of concern, while others
simply just don't want a
pub. It would be ignorant
for me not to take these
opinions into consideration,
but ultimately, I would have
to argue that I see it quite
differently.
Growing up in Canada,
for the better half of nineteen
years, it is remarkable to
me that alcohol provokes
such a grand level of
uneasiness among many
Americans. Respectively,

in Canada, there is at least
one pub, or place, where
the students can get an

pubs and restaurants are
great places that promote a
wonderful degree of student

Quite often these pubs are
historic, and are home to the
traditions of the school. In
direct contrast, CSUSM has

this is a great school with
great potential. However,
even with the incredible

think it's safe to say that the
average price of gasoline
is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the
lowest fevel you can put
into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking
at paying about $24 to fill
it up. For all of you SUV

going to be paying more like

Also, you have to take
into account that driving

the law. For all you guys
out there who have to pay

I feel that there is a certain
level of apprehension
to move forward, and a
sheltering of the student

I am not looking to be
sheltered or made aware
of the dangers of drinking
by the school. I understand
that the school is committed
to helping students make
healthy choices, and does
not want to promote alcohol
abuse to its students.
In a previous interview,
Jonathan Poullard made it
explicitly clear that revenue
from a pub would not aid
in the lowering of tuition,
parking fees, or book prices.
However, I feel that is not

made clear to me that this is

I rebut and say, if the pub
isn't built yet, then why
not make it that way? A
pub would not become a
"cash cow" for the school,
but more so a way for the
school to make money at

POSSIBILITY O F
L OSING THE PRIDE
Dear Pride Editors and
Staff:
I am deeply upset about
the possibility of losing
The Pride. It disgusts me
that The Pride is being
oppressed and stifled—and
may even be forced out
of publication—under the
guise of "budget cuts." It
is time we, the students,
start having a voice in the
priorities of Cal State San
Marcos. Imagine, a student
body impacting policy? One
might think I was crazy just
for suggesting it. The sad
reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no
interest in the student body,
except as customers to be
coddled. I am here to get an
education and to be exposed
to ideas and free thinking
^ and a student newspaper
is the very lifeblood of such
a campus-wide exchange of
ideas.
A student newspaper should
be able to operate with
impunity. The concept of a
free press was easy for our
forefathers to understand,
why does the administration feel they have a duty
to impose their narrow
perspective and questionable ideals on the only
outlet for free expression
on this campus? You can't
even post flyers at CSUSM
without approval. I will
stand for such repression no
longer, not when it threatens
a student run newspaper.
So I here pledge to The
Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will
respond to the termination
of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my
power. Should The Pride be
forced out of print, I will
organize a walk-out and/or
a protest on school property,
and I will advertise such
actions and encourage other
students to participate. I will
contact all local news media
and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them
to report on our protest—it
will make a story I am sure
will hold the interest of the
residents of San Marcos
and indeed the San Diego
community at large. I will
write letters to the editors
of all the major newspapers
in the San Diego area. If
such actions fail due to the
summer break, I will reengage them in the fall.
So I say shame on the
administration of CSUSM!
To put it in language they
might understand: this customer is most displeased. I
am displeased that the last
vestige of written communication on this campus
is being bureaucratized to
death. I am displeased that
the administration considers I came to this school eager
The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning-
ful way. It is a shame I may
be forced to create such a
stink over something that
should never be considered
in the first place: ending a
school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of
loyalty to both CSUSM and
my fellow students, and it
is for this reason that I am
determined to SAVE THE
PRIDE!
In the end though, I can sleep

"They were really into it," commented
udience member Ashley Moses "you
could tell these people were really dedicated to this cause." "I thought it went very
well," commented Kilmartin, "especially
considering that it's a commuter school
and people had to come back in the evening to see it." Commuter school or not,
the mass of people cluttered around the
display of cookies, brownies, and coffee at
the entrance of the theater suggested much
appreciation and engagement with the subject. "It was a very responsive audience,"
said Kilmartin.
Although the majority of the audience
seemed overly joyful and accepting of
Kilmartin's performance, he warns that this
is not always the case. People "sometimes
say it's male bashing and disrespectful to
them," but to such comments Kilmartin's
general response is "I don't want to take

Overall, the evening was a success.
Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the
fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all
day, I felt very energized by the audience."
The constant uproar of laughter and utter
hysteria on the audience's part suggested
that they felt the same about Kilmartin's
performance. Heads shook in personal
testament and hands covered blushing
cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition
of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his
point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it
was later in the evening," said Moses, "but

work. I might have an internship over
the summer in downtown San Diego that
might require me to rethink my entire
systemrightnow, but, until then, I will do
what I can.
Therefore, I am simply asking you to
think about just what you need your car
for. Think about if it's all that necessary
to drive your car to the store up the street
if you only need a few items. Can you
wait until the following day when you
have more time to do all you errands in
one trip? Can you walk to the beach, to
work, or to get your Starbucks fix? Do
you know somebody that you can carpool
with or that can carpool with you? For all
of us (myself included) that have griped
and complained about that parking fee
increase, which will not be decreasing
in the near future: think of the money
you could save if you could use another
method of transportation, or if there was
someone helping you out with the cost.
Walking is going to keep me in great
shape and since a huge criticism of the
U.S. is our growing obesity problem,
compared to that of Europe, you might
think twice about getting in that car to
go to the next corner where Burger King,
McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more
all wait for your return. I am also put at a
little more at ease knowing that I am doing
what I can to help eliminate extra carbon
monoxide and other dangerous pollutants
into the atmosphere by being one less
vehicle on the road.
I am in no way intending to preach and
if I have made any untrue statements or
judgments, by all means, let me know.
These are just some things that I have
noticed and that I wanted to make a social
comment on. So since Earth Day was on
the 2 2 of April this year and you are
all reading this after the fact, let this be
a reinforcement that awareness begins

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
News Editor
On Nov. 18, the Office of the President announced Dr. Soheila Jorjani as the
2008-09 recipient of the Harry E. Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award, the
highest award the university can present
to a professor.
Jorjani is a professor of the Department
of Information Systems and Operations
Management in the College of Buisness
Administration. CSUSM President Karen
Haynes awarded Jorjani based upon recommendation of the Faculty Awards
Committee.
In a letter from the President, Haynes
states, "Dr. Joijani exemplifies the true
spirit of the Brakebill Award; she is an
extraordinary faculty member who has
made outstanding contributions to her
students, to her academic discipline,
and to our campus community. In every
aspect of her 16-year career at Cal State
San Marcos, she has shown tremendous
dedication to academic excellence, and
she has been an inspiration to her students
and her colleagues alike."

The forum opens thefloorto all students. Students can ask any question and receive a direct

'American film'. It is confusing
why some films are recognized
and not others. There seems to be
no reason involved in naming a
film 'American.'
For example, in 2006, they
awarded United 93 as one of the
bestfilmsof the year. Yet, a British
director, Paul Greengrass, made it.
This year they awarded The Lord
of the Rings as one of the best

teachers to tell their students to print

Adapting to these changes is a

Farewell from the Managing Editor
BY BEN ROFFEE
Managing Editor
Dear Readers,
As we approach the end of
the semester and the Pride's
operations wind to a close, we
are called upon to reflect on the
events and stories that have come
to define this past semester. In
just a few short months, our
country seemed in quite a rush
to make history and CSUSM
definitely acted in part. Over
the course of this brief span of
time I have had the distinct honor
and privilege of being a part of
a team dedicated to reporting on
this historic period through the
perspective of a college campus.
Even with all of the passion
for journalism in the world, it is
impossible to have a successful
paper without chemistry in the
newsroom. The editors and staff
here at the Pride are as much
my colleagues as they are my
friends, and without their support
and comical distractions I doubt
I could have ever kept my
sanity. There is no other group
of people I can think of that
I 'd rather spend the countless
frustrated and weary hours with
than with thè people I've been
fortunate to call my coworkers
for the last year and a half. Their
tireless dedication to keeping
this ship afloat deserves much
more thanks than I can give and
should command the respect of
all of you. A special thanks goes
out to Viri, who filled some big
shoes and taught me more than
I could ever want to know about
this craft. It is likely that I wont
serve as an editor, but you can
still expect to see me floating
around the Pride. See you next
semester, CSUSM.

With the economy in i f s present state, do you think you will be
spending the same amount of money during the holidays? Why?
"I'm not sure, because I get paid more at my job now and gas
is cheaper. I guess it would be the same as last year but I'm
going to be more cautious."
"I don't think I 'll be spending as much money as I have before.

in the league, the Los Angeles

Vegetarian holidays can make for a new healthy holiday tradition
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Pride Staff Writer
Some of the best things about
t he holidays are family, g ifts
and food, but for others the traditional meal of turkey with
mashed potatoes and cranberry
sauce may not be the desired
mouth watering festive meal for
the holidays.
Vegetarians are transforming an ancient pilgrim inspired
meal into a newborn culinary
delight with new creative dishes
that offer health perks. And in
a society prone to obesity and
hypertension, maybe a break
f rom the heavy cholesterol
meats for the holidays can be
a wise step toward a healthier
lifestyle.
Vegetarians do not eat any
meat products such as chicken,
beef, or pork but do consume
dairy products, not to be confused with vegans that do not
eat any animal products such as
eggs, cheese or milk.
During the holiday season, a
dinner without turkey or a ham
can seem bleak but a vegetarian
holiday dinner offers great meat
alternatives that any family can
enjoy.
Carrie Kressor, a Kinesiology
major, has been a vegetarian her
entire life, "I choose to do it for
health reasons and it is more
beneficial for the environment, I
personally don't liking thinking
about eating a dead animal."
A popular turkey substitute
for vegetarians is tofurkey, a
faux turkey made of t ofu often
breaded with a vegetarian stuff-
ing of vegetables and whole
grains.
"We do have tofurkey but
I personally don't like it that
much. But we always have a
ton of different casseroles and
yummy recipes and of course
we have the traditional cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie,"
Kressor said.
"Some of my family is actually vegetarians as well, but
the majority are not. When we
get together there really aren't
any problems, they have their
turkey, but we always have casseroles and other dishes that we
can eat. It's still like anybody
else's Thanksgiving...I just
simply don't eat the meat."
Incorporating the vegetables
of the season, like squash and
pumpkin, as main ingredients
for side dishes or casseroles
allows for creative alternatives
to the traditional holiday sides.
"Thinking about all of the
turkey disasters I've heard
about definitely makes me think
that preparing several casseroles is much easier than cooking a turkey for hours," Kressor
said.
According to an article in
FDA Consumer, data strongly
shows that vegetarians are at
a lesser risk for obesity, lung
cancer, and alcoholism. There
is also evidence that risk for
hypertension, coronary artery
disease, type II diabetes and
gallstones are significantly
lower.
The USDA dietary guidelines
for Americans states; "Most
Americans of all ages eat fewer
than the recommended numbers of serving of grain products, vegetables, and f ruits even
though consumption of these
foods is associated with a substantially lower risk for chronic
diseases, including certain
types of cancer."
So when many are dreading
the thought of consuming high
calorie foods or high cholesterol foods, maybe a vegetarian
dinner for the holidays can be
a health alternative to keep the
holiday weight off.
Jimbo's, Trader Joe's and even
Costco now carry more vegetarian food that is great tasting and
isn't too pricey.

It was described as a "oncein-a-lifetime-opportunity" and

advisor called to say, "I'm contacting all the students who will

My friends stuck to the Chinese
entryway directly across the way.
After several unrecognizable
but thrilled American athletes
walked by, the men's basketball
team appeared. There was Kobe
with Jason Kidd, LeBron James
and everyone else.
Then the women's basketball
team appeared. Having played
basketball in high school, Lisa
Leslie is my hero. Seeing Kobe
was exciting enough, then she
walked up the stairs. "Lisa. Lisa!"
I shouted. She looked and I was
stunned. She smiled and kind of
laughed then asked me how I was.
"Good!" I said. "Good luck!"
To see Lisa and Kobe within
moments of each other was
incredible.
Meanwhile, people from every
nation competing in the Games
began to accumulate. My Chinese friends on the opposite end
of the stadium greeted, and in
some cases touched and took pictures with, the Chinese athletes.
I staggered in and out of the line
of people, going around the stadium seven or eight times, until
the announcing voice had called
every nation's name and the line
was ready, making its way to the
Bird's Nest.
Later that night, my Chinese
friends and I discussed how
unprepared we were for that
experience. When we woke up
that morning, we thought we'd
be watching the ceremony on
television and then we saw it
happen.
Of our two-month stay in Beijing, and the two weeks spent
walking among the best athletes
in the world while witnessing
journalists pursue stories, that
night in the NIS was euphoric
beyond the word's own meaning.

Twilight Poem
Dear Edward,
You mesmerize me
With your pale, cold skin
With every breath you take
The smell luring me in
Too many thoughts clouding
my head
My heart starts to race
As you draw me near
Despite all I know
I have no fear
There's something about you
T hafs good and pure
Your touch drives me wild
Sends shivers down my spine
Loving you so much
Should be a crime
You tell me your dangerous
That I should run
But somehow the love that
binds us
Won't come undone
In the Twilight, your eyes
sparkle
A bright golden hue
Could this really be true?
This god-like creature
That no one could catch
For somehow I 'm your perfect
match
There's only one problem
One I can't deny
There's a part of you
That craves for more than a kiss
Something I can't give you
Or I wouldn't exist
As you take me up so high
And welcome me to your world
I wonder if I 'll ever go back
Argyle
BY KRISTINA LAWLER
Business Manager
To being a normal teenage girl
You tell me that you'be waited
A century for me
How can I compare to that
Im merely seventeen.
One day I hope to be
Part of your kind
So we can be together
Until the end of time
The decision is made
My mind made up
Now I just need you
To realize it too
My life is nothing
If I can't have you.

THE PRIDE
Enj oy great tasting drinks
The semester is
winding down yet
again. For most students, winter break is
a mere blip between semesters. While stu-
dents are going to spend their four week
break doing various things, one thing is for
sure, most will spend time with family and
friends while enjoying great food and delicious drinks.
Students should look out for bargains.
Most retailers offer huge discounts on
food and beverages throughout the holidays. Good beers, wines, and champagnes
doriothave to rack up frequentflyerpoints
on the credit cards.
As responsible Cougars, please enjoy
all alcoholic beverages safely during the
holidays. Raise your glasses. Until next
semester. Cheers!

The Lagunitas Brewing Company brews
and bottles their seasonal Brown Shugga' in
Petaluma, California. Tony Magee founded
the brewery in 1993 in Lagunitas, California.
Like most start up breweries, the company
outgrew available capacity and moved to
Petaluma. Currently, the company distributes
brew throughout 20 states. The brewery only
uses water, hops, yeast, and malted barley to
produce batches of beer.
BevMo retails six 12 fluid ounce bottles of Brown Shugga' for $9.99. A
cream, red, green, and surprisingly
black color comprise the packaging.
The cardboard container features a
dog and mistletoe. The bottles contain Jg
almost the same imaging. A metallic *
red bottle top, featuring the compa.ny's name and logo, seals the ale with
a staggering alcohol by volume of f
9.9%. The ale's ABV is almost twice |
the amount of normal beers.

gravitatesfromthe top of the glass.
The first sip sends a ravishing tidal
wave of flavor to the taste buds and
tongue. T h e c heeks quiver in awe. The composition of the brew makes up for the lack
of head in the original pour. The ale leaves
a thick coating of wholesome goodness
before descending below deck. The beer's
boldness should pair well with spicy and flavorful foods.
"It's got a little bit of sourness to it. It's a
good fall beer. It has enough taste for a complexity beer but it won't alienate you," said

such as the Rueben and specialty burgers.
Also available are classics such as turkey,
tuna, and egg salad.
Amidst the breakfast food, sandwiches,
and meals, the biscuits and gravy steal the
show. For only $5.95, plus tax, one can enjoy
a choice of potato andfluffybiscuits covered
in gravy. This small plate willfillyou and is
both delicious and a bargain.
The pies are also notable at Debbie's.
Right as one walks in the door, the two pie
cases are visible, including the traditional
turning glass style. They have a wide variety
of fruit and cream pies priced whole and by
the slice. Though they are all tasty, be sure to
ask which are the freshest.
Though it may not be the most gourmet
food at Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop,
the customers keep coming back for the restaurant's quality food and excellent service.
The food is well done and the prices are fair.
Debbie's is a great place to go for a taste of
home and a quick bite that will not cost too *
much.
Debbie's Restaurant and Pie Shop is
located on Nordahl Drive iñ San Marcos
acrossfromthe Wal-Mart Plaza. The restaurant is in a tight spot in a strip mall with window's boasting festive décor. It is only a few
minutes from campus and worth the short
drive for diner and home-style meals.
Though it looks unimpressive from the
outside, inside Debbie's is afineplace to eat.
The inside is tan and pale and there is not a
great amount of room. They also cater to an
older crowd, as seen in their early bird specials and senior's menu.
Yet, despite what looks like an unassuming
place to eat, the food at Debbie's is fantastic.
They serve a mix of diner and home-style food
all day long. Though they have limited hours,
the food is a great value any time of the day.
First, breakfast classics donerightstock the
menu. Diners can enjoy a selection of combo
plates or omelets that are very tasty. The hash
browns are perfectly crisp and flavorful and go good with any of the
morning meals served all day.
Also on the menu are a variety
of sandwiches and hamburgers. • K'MMIi^BBBinif^I W BsflHHI
Patrons can get just about any sandwich the proverbial mother would
make. Though they are all tasty,
any server will point out the specials
