Cal. State prepares for the twenty-first century
B Y JENIFER JAFFE
"V" T"ith the approach of the new mil
% / % / lennium, the CSU system has
T T been r ethinking its c urrent
method of delivering adequate technology
to students and faculty.
The CSU System wide Internal Partnership (SIP) has recently selected Team GTE
as a business partner in an effort to improve
its information technology infrastructure:
Team GTE, also known as California Education Technology Initiative Corporation
(CETI), consists of GTE, Fujitsu, Hughes,
and Microsoft corporations.
The proposed CETI plan points out that
because of today's rapidly changing technology, the CSU system can no longer count
on irregular sources of money including
grants, gifts and "entrepreneurial-efforts"
to keep technology current.
Richard Karas, CSUSM's vice president
of Academic Affairs, said the plan would
enable the CSU system "to provide a higher
level of technology." He added that it will
bring technology of all the CSU campuses
up to a reasonable level.
CSUSM's executive director of Computers and T elecommunications, Norm
Nicolson, said it will "benefit students enormously" through a better infrastructure,
higher-speed access within the computer
labs arid a better variety of dial-up access
off campus.
With the implementation of CETI,
Nicolson also anticipates more innovative

Smokeout," could be the day for some students if CSUSM's Health Services has its
way. Its staff is doing its best to raise student awareness that, as the American Cancer Society puts it, "Smoking WILL kill
you; it's just a matter of how."
Student smokers confess that they know
the risks, yet a number continue to smoke.

quit smoking, I would do it."
What kind* of program would she like
best? "I prefer hypnotism," she answered.
Each of 10 CSUSM student smokers, six
women and four men, said they, too, would
like to quit. They had several rationalizations for why they continue to smoke,
mainly "It's relaxing" and "I'm worried
about gaining weight." Several said Nov.
20 was just another day to them.
"It takes more than a day of propaganda
to help someone quit smoking," said
Mark, a junior majoring in computer science. "They have to want to quit, and then
really do it. There is no halfway point."
But, he agreed, the day at least helps promote awareness of the dangers of smoking.
According to the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society, and
the World Health Organization, 390,000
Americans die each year from the effects
of smoking. Tobacco use now causes 3 million deaths a year worldwide. Half a billion people now alive will be killed due to
tobacco use.
Citing statistics showing that worldwide
sales of cigarettes reached 295.8 billion last
year, the World Health Organization calls
tobacco use "a global epidemic."
CSUSM student smokers tended to rationalize these numbers. "We're all going to
die somehow," said Mark. "I know I
shouldn't smoke, but I don't want to quit
right now."
Four of the other nine smokers interviewed shared that attitude.
But some students have managed to kick
the habit recently. Pam, a 34-year-old
CSUSM student, said she began smoking
while working as a waitress. "It was the
sociable thing to do," she said. "It seemed
like everyone was really enjoying it."
She added that she, too, enjoyed the habit,
though it was expensive and she hated the
way her sister would that she "reeked of
smoke."
So why did she quit? "Because it was
impossible to tell my son not to smoke when
interest of the students, just for the university and the companies."
He added that he fears CSUSM students
ultimately will have to pay for many services they are currently receiving for free.
But both Karas and Nicolson said they don't
anticipate such a development. Students
will only pay for services above what they
are currently getting, Karas said.
While students currently are rationed in
their Internet access, under CETI they will
have the option to purchase additional
amounts at a discounted student rate, Karas
said. The proposed, fee-based career counseling will provide extra help, he added.
The percentage of revenue generated for
the CSU system is being negotiated,
Nicholson said. Karas said he anticipates
it would be "in the high tens of millions of
dollars per year."
Ramos said he hoped the money generated would go for improvements on campus, such as more buildings, a parking
structure and a better library. "There is a
lpt we could do with the money, but it's still
coming out of the students'pockety'* he
added. "The university is getting the break."
Ramos said he also was concerned about
the trend at CSUSM to contract services out,
pointing to the pay-per-print deal with
IKON. Under the contract, students must
now pay 15 cents to print each page. Of
that, the university only receives a one and
a half cents per page.
I still did," she said, adding that it was a
powerful motive. "When you smoke, it's
like second-nature. You don't even realize
you're doing it," she said. "It's hard to recognize the danger of something that is so
ingrained in you."
Pam said she used an older, but dependable method for quitting. First, she switched
brands to one she didn't like. Then, gradually, she cut back in number of the cigarettes. To avoid triggering her urge to
smoke, she did her best to avoid frequenting the places and company where she
would be most tempted to light up.
Finally, she threw away all her cigarettes,
ashtrays and lighters, and had her teeth
cleaned to get the tobacco stains off and
provide further motivation.
To take the place of smoking, she found
a new habit: She squeezed a rubber ball
every time she wanted a cigarette. Sometimes, she said, she'd have to just take a
walk AND squeeze the ball because she
wanted a cigarette so badly.
According to "Quitting Times" magazine,
Pam did everything right. She developed a

you'll be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense and dependence of cigarette smoking."
When your body is dependent on nicotine, you feel more relaxed, health experts
say. It's like using coffee to wake up. But,
ironically, nicotine is a stimulant: It increases
your levels of nervousness, but the action
of smoking helps calm you down.
The experts also say that it would take a
weight gain of more than 60 pounds to offset the benefit from being smoke-free.
CSUSM Health Service officials say they
are developing a program to help students
quit and it could be ready by next semester.
In the meantime, if you need help, several
organizations have such programs, including the local American Red Cross (phone:
619-291-2620), the National Cancer Institute,
(1-800-4-CANCER) and the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345). Each of those

Building, may be a welcome sight.
It offers a variety of items that are ideal for a meal on the run, including pretzels, chips,
a variety of hot dogs (the College Dog, the Smart Dog and the Studious Dog, for example) and Italian sausages.
For $1.10, you can get a deliciously soft pretzel. The highest priced item on the menu
is the Italian sausage ($3.25) and a number of students said it is well worth the price.
The snack cart is owned and operated by Premier Espresso Company. Mike Reid, coowner of the company, said it was set up at the request of the school. He hopes to add a
more items to the menu soon.
"This is so convenient, and the price is right," said literature major Dawn Knepper.
Added Frances Bernal, another literature major: "It's very hard to get to the Dome between classes, so this is a great idea."
Reid said completion of the new international building should attract even more vendors to Founders Plaza.

importantly, it's not laughing at me. I attribute some of this to my teacher's weird
sense of humor, which he incorporates into
his teaching.
Best of all, he uses language I understand:
"This is really stupid." "Doesn't this seem
ridiculous?" "This is kind of dumb."
"There's five times too much garbage here."
Yes! A math teacher with a sense of humor!
In addition to the colorful language, this
teacher gives us about five or six examples
on the topics of the night. He makes it look

times that it sinks in, even though the class

Life celebrated on Day of the Dead
B Y JOHN M . RODRIGUEZ
M
y grandmother doted on my sisters and I when we were children. On Hallow
een, over the protests of my then teen-aged uncle and aunt, she would empty
her candy dish into our trick-or-treat sacks. During Christmas, she would put
up a cardboard fireplace in her tiny house so we could hang our stockings.
It has been more than 30 years since she died, but I shared these memories of her before
lighting a votive candle and placing a marigold on an altar in her honor during Day of
the Dead festivities last week on campus.
Contrary to its somber name, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a celebration of
life and remembrance that takes place throughout Latin America. It is actually a two-day
event, according to Linda Amador who helped coordinate the campus event. Nov. 1
honors children who have died, while Nov.
2, commemorates the adults. Since both days landed on a weekend this year, the altar
display and presentation were held Nov. 3 at CSUSM for the benefit of students who
wished to participate.
The elaborate altars were sponsored by individuals and campus organizations, including Counseling and Psychological Services. Two altars were available for students who
wished to commemorate a loved one. Each reflected the characteristics and personality of
the deceased honoree.
The traditional altar built by Amador for her grandmother contains many of the items
found on most Day of the Dead altars. The votive candles, flowers, images of the Virgin
of Guadalupe, candies, and pan dulce (sweet bread) are typical. Amador personalized
hers with cooked bowls of rice and beans and kitchen implements to emphasize her
grandmother's love of cooking. Additional items, including a rosary, bible, mantilla (veil),
a childhood doll and Photographs, completed the display.
In some cases, groups of people were remembered. For instance, the altar sponsored by
Carlos von Son's Spanish 250 class memorializes the roughly 1,200 illegal immigrants
who died while crossing the border over the last four years. It also depicted a diorama of
the desert with tiny cacti and sugar skulls with a border edge of flattened tin.
The desert represented the dangerous border badlands most immigrants must cross
while the skulls commemorated the victims, according to student Veronica Munoz who
was instrumental in developing the altar. She added that the flattened tin border represented the metal border fence running between the United States and Mexico. A bowl
with burning copal combined with flowers was used to simulate the odor of burning
bones.
Atfirstglance, the altar constructed by Career Assessment office manager Lily Martinez
Gonzalez and her husband, Psychology professor Gerardo M. Gonzalez, to remember
Chicano activist Cesar Chavez seemed almost political in nature with its prominent United

Farm Workers emblems and photos. But the
connection between the Gonzalezes and the
late UFW leader is a very personal one.
The couple first met Chavez during the
early '80s when both were students at
Fresno State. Lily Gonzalez recalls with
great warmth the personality of a man who
gave entirely of himself to his cause and
his people, but always found time to listen
to his volunteers.
"The thing that I remember most about
Cesar Chavez is that he once told me that
if you were consistent and had integrity,
those were the things that were really important. He recognized people no matter
who they were.,,,, she said.
Chavez, who often shunned politicians
and businessmen, would always find time
to speak with farm workers, university students and children, she added.
The couple's tribute to Chavez included
elements of the UFW, but also items revealing the personal side of the man. For instance, the myriad of vegetables revealed
the vegetarian diet of a man who struggled
with the tempting meat dishes of his native
land.
Day of the Dead altars were not restricted
to Latino themes. Many other cultures also
view death as cyclical of life, so the adoption of Dia de los Muertos became a natural crossover for other campus groups.
Psychology professor Carlene Smith prepared an altar commemorating the African
slaves who either died en-route to America
or on plantations. "We don't just set aside
one day for the dead," she said. "It's an
everyday occurrence in African culture."
Professor Smith combined traditional
African items such as masks, clothing,
gourds, musical instruments, books on African culture and illustrations of slave
scenes to complete her altar.
The essence of celebrating Day of the
Dead is to remember something special
about a deceased loved one, and then share
that memory with someone, according to
Amador. She encouraged the gathering to
place lighted candles and marigolds on the
altar.
Following her presentation, von Son read
a poem he wrote for the event in Spanish
followed by an English translation. Liberal
Arts professor Bonnie L. Baden concluded
the festivities with a slide presentation on
Mexican tradition regarding Dia de los
Muertos.

Kiss the Girls a tense intelligent thriller

Starring Morgan Freeman

Directed by Gary Fleder
B Y M ICHELE C ECELSKI
If you like movies that are
tense and edgy with a little of the
macabre and a lot of deduction
work, "Kiss the Girls" is for you.
It's a new thriller starring
Morgan Freeman ("Glory," "Outbreak," "The Shawshank Redemption"), who plays a forensic psychologist hot on the trail of a serial
kidnapper/murderer.
The movie's villain, whose
face is never shown, is a kidnaper
first and murderer second because
killing is not his main motive. All of
his victims are young, attractive
women with something extraordinary about them. One is a violin
virtuoso, another an aspiring
doctor.

Freeman, as always, does
a marvelous job. His character is
extremely sharp-witted and professional, yet also compassionate and
vulnerable. You sympathize with
his frustration at not being able to
rescue his niece. Even the scenes
showing only Freeman as he studies
clues are fascinating. Each time,
you know, he'll manage to come up
with something that puts him a little

Many people believe that a band
requires unique sounds, original personality and lyrical savvy to achieve individuality.
Though the sound of The Freddy
Jones Band's new set album, "Lucid," is
clear and produced well, the music elicits
little in the way of emotional sensations.
Why listen to the monotony of
another generic group? Echoing original
sounds such as Toad the Wet Sprocket,
Dave Matthew's Band and even Pearl
Jam, The Freddy Jones Band lacks personal style.
"Woke up on the wrong side of
my self this morning/wish I could have
stayed in bed..." should have been the
songwriter's intent, for he may have
dreamt of a sound solely belonging to
him. But the mimic of his music prevails
only in the initial impression and is
quickly lost.
The album's melodies are boring
and its instrumental talent is lacking,
allowing lots of time to reflect on truer
talents such as the bands listed previously.
"Mystic Buzz" is the only song
worth listening to more than once, but
that's because of its similarity to Toad the
Wet Sprocket's "Walk on the Ocean."
These guys make an effort, four
albums now, but the pop-rock sounds do
not enlighten the ears or intrigue the soul,
so why bother listening? It's studio stuff,
