Page 4 Volume 1, Number 11 A student publication serving California State University, San Marcos 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. ^n^^SSMU Interest V t p i t o Poster P Staff Writer f l f i W g f, ; Friday, April 22,1994 M $ CSUSM will draw international acaof : A4pies~ offers summer wbric-: a n i i i i a t : - o nN r 4h-Sjpani$h for Y&un^ Readers in j November.

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.

For f urther i nformation, contact Claire 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.

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: RECYCLABLE MATERIAL LBS.

That is why most men dread it —George Bernard Shaw 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. Ralph W. Ballmer, MSEE San Jose State Univ. 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. Gwenn Young 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.

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).

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.

Youth, innocence, hope, and the American Dream. t Emerald City. 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. mAke 6uaLity LeAderS. .. VOTE - MICHELLE S ADOVA FOR PRESIDENT This active A.S. Council Member is t he m ost qualified choice f or A.S. President.

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?

McCune speculated that CSUSM would b e die hardest hit of all the Gal Stale University schools because of t he early stage of its; development The bond would have provided $450 million f or construction and improvement of California's public higher education institutions. Also affectedby the bill is the University ofCalif€»nia system a nd the California Community Colleges system. T he proposition failed in 4 9 of the state's 58 counties. Some higher education authorities speculate that die Bill may have been defeated because the public was dissatisfiedwith theballotingprocess. Others think concerns about spending money, when the economy seems on the brink of recession, was die reason f or the proposition's defeat. Q neof the hardest hit areas cm the Kpcomingcampns will be the library. Marion Reid, director of the library said that this year, $2.1 million was needed f or the acquisition of books. She said a similar amount is needed f or next year to continue the collection of volumes. "Included in Proposition 143 w as$2Jtmillkmin funding f or the second half of the CSU, San Marcds library core collection," Reid said. "Lack of that funding means that die opening day collection will b e a much more modest one than planned* 40,000 volumes r atter than 80,000 volumes. " A setback like at this point of our development is o ne that has longlasting i mpact Unfortunately ourcollection's growth will b e much slower than w e had hoped."

College officials are hopeful that the six-week delay in construction, caused by the dispute between Louetto and Poss, won't compromise the opening of the main campus for the fall of 1992. " We're delighted at the prospect of seeing work resume on the project," said CSUSM President Bill Stacy. " We've lost so much time that our ultimate opening schedule may be in d oubt...." Stacy said he is confident that Lusardi will "extend every effort to get construction moving." Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction said in an earlier interview that the phase one stage of work is a "critical path for the project." He said that delays, such as that created by the Louetto-Poss dispute, could start a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. Amado said the campus will open on time providing no more setbacks occur in the building process. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 5 Spanish book center t o boost world awareness for youth L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is scheduled to open at CSUSM on Dec. 6. The Center, the only one of its kind in the world, will contain books in Spanish for children and adolescents and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. Schon said the forthcoming facility is the only one in the world that collects all recent books in Spanish for children. The Library of Congress contains some as does the Library in Mexico City, she said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." ISABEL FOUNDING SCHON/ FACULTY "Having lived in Mexico, I was aware of how many children do not have access to books," Schon said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." Schon said that many of the books available express negative views and stereotype Hispanic culture. "Why not get positive things o f' both cultures," said Schon. "Many people don' t know or understand other groups. W e're basically all humans." Schon said that, with a growing Hispanic population in this country, cultural awareness needs to be expanded to increase production in the work place. She mentioned how little the United States understands its neighbors to the south. "Unfortunately, many Anglo and Hispanic students d on't realize how much joy and beauty there is in the Mexican people," SEE CENTER/PAGE 5 �MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUND Steps can be taken to prevent colds, flu With this column, I would like to dispel a few common misconceptions about the dreaded "Flu." Generally people use the word flu to describe a host of illnesses whose miseries range from nasal congestion to chest congestion and coughing to gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. True "Influenza" is one of the three types A, B, or C and is a highly contagious acute viral disease that spreads rapidly among large groups, especially in close environments like classrooms, work sites and dormitories. Actually it can spread rapidly CSUSM Professor Duff Brenna has found publishing success with his book, "The Book of Mamie."

Profs experience fuels novel HEALTHNOTES D R. J O E L 6 R t N O L OS Each year a new vaccine is produced by using the viral strain that is expected to be prevalent in December and January. The vaccine is usually available in October or November because after vaccination ittakes two to eight weeks for antibodies to develop. As an aside, it is of interest to note that viruses travel around the globe from the far east to our west coast. By knowing the viruses in the far east that year, out public health officials develop a vaccine bases on those viruses that will reach the U.S. in the winter. The vaccine is usually about 75 percent effective in preventing the flu and may also reduce the severity of the flu. Anybody, for the most part, can get the vaccine, but some people definitely should be vaccinated. The groups that are considered high risk are people with chronic illness especially lung disease including asthma, people with depressed immunity, anyone 55-years-old or older, and people who are in the medical profession or are caretakers of high risk persons. Also, unlike the common cold and not widely known by the public, is the fact that Influenza A can be treated with a drug called Amantadine. It is most helpful if given as soon as possible after the onset of the flu. It frequently shortens the illness and reduces its severity. As opposed to the self-care recommended for managing the common cold, if one recognizes the early signs of Influenza, it is recommended to see your health care provider to determine if Amantadine would be of benefit. In future columns, I would like to respond to questions regarding your health. You can submit your questions by placing them in the envelope posted on the bulletin board outside of Student Health Services.

" A lot of global understanding through reading of books can be communicated to the young. These discussions will supply understandings and misunderstandings of people," Schon said. The Center will be used as an educational institute for exposing teachers and librarians to Hispanic literature. Schon said the Center plans on holding an annual conference with authorities from Mexico and educators in the ñeld attending. "It* s important to get a date for the conference that is convenient for teachers and librarians," she said. Schon said that, because the Center is educational in nature, the costs will b e relatively low. Publishers interested in the project have sent a great majority of the books to the Center without charge. NEWS 5 "Once publishers understand the project, they send review copies," Schon stated. Schon, who was born in Mexico City, has worked with vendors in Spain and Latin America and has communicated with vendors in those countries. She said that growth for the Center's collection will be a continued requirement to insure obtaining the . most recent books. Dr. Lyndon W. Searfoss, professor of Reading and Library Science at Arizona State University, will speak at the Center* s opening about international language arts. New books will be displayed at the opening and a welcome by Dr. Bill Stacy, president of CSUSM, will be delivered. Schon said that, because of space constraints, attendance at the Center's December opening will be limited to 60 people. Visitors can browse through the collection and view publishers' displays of books. Refreshments will be served at the opening. The deadline for registering for the event is Nov. 21.

While walking into the class, my study partner summed it all up: "I can write my notes from beginning to end, but I doubt I can answer a question." The custom of using high-pressure, get-set-go evaluation is academia's last relic of the Dark Age. As my friend's statement i mp lies, t he process is so great to InstaRegurgitation, I am finding that I literally wash my memory of a subject at P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR the end of the latest t est The great educator Alfred North Whitehead has stated, "The really useful training yields a comprehension of a few general principles with a thorough grounding in the way they apply to a variety of concrete details." In other words, the best education is full of skill and process, not fact and definition. This begs the original question: Are midterm^and finals a test of our "comprehension of a few general principles?" Put differently, are we being better equipt to solve the problems of life and business because we could literally recompose our notes? I pray that we are never the better of beasts by memory alone. I am suggesting that a more effective evaluation of the attributes we aspire to teach is the less harried project approach. Particularly at a time when writing skills are enjoying unprecedented emphasis, the term paper is a welcome device. Likewise, group e fforts develop and test most of the important elements of the "right s tuff:" leadership, communication, compromise, negotiation, and consolidation. Unfortunately, the bulk of academia, staff and students, is geared against the planning arid prodding that are the hallmarks of the successful project or paper. Teachers and learners likewise lean to the test as the quickest, and so easiest, means to evaluate and finish. At the same time, we sacrifice each other on the pressure-point day. Can this carnage have a meaning I have missed in my confession of madness? Supposing for a moment that the test does measure a quality that the student knows. Given that it assesses abilities to collect and perform underpressure. Arguably, the search and pacing of a paper do these things and more, such as developing writing and organization skills. Certainly, the group project, while harder to grade, is instantly revealing of stars and missing fits. Admitting that the midterm alerts the professor to soft performers, the developmental nature of the term project allows forricherand more frequent interaction, and only more learning can come of this. Everyone's experience is enriched when the mentor stands by the learner's side. I 'm mad as hell. W e all lost out on that experience.

ANONYMOUS Who decides, whether there will be a war in the Persian Gulf? Is it our dynamic Congress which, at least constitutionally, is given the power? Or President Bush, vicariously elevating the testosterone by sending everyone in uniform, short of Campfire Girls, to the Saudi beach party? Is it Saddam Hussein, maligned by merely emulating past U.S. "actions" in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, the Philippines, et al? Or how about the Israelis performing their daily version of Krystall Nacht on Palestinian Arabs? The answer is None of the Above, because the real power of war and peace lies between your nose and chin. Since your impatience for riddles may exceed even mine, let me quickly get to the heart of the matter. Unless you're truly into sand sculpting, or testing dune buggies, you know the Arabian Peninsula holds absolutely no attraction for the average American except for the billions of gallons of crude oil upon which it sits. You also know that between 10 and 20 percent of the oil we consume comes from this region. So the choices appear to be either go to war to maintain our present standard of living, or cut down on our oil consumption. The present buildup in the Persian Gulf suggests that Bush thinks we prefer conflict over conservation. Perhaps that's because we associate cutbacks of food energy to each one calorie of fuel energy with pain. But I 'm now going to tell you how to invested." By my calculation, that's a 1200-toend America's dependence on foreign oil, 1 efficiency advantage. Another report goes on to state that over 50 PAINLESSLY. percen t of American' s fresh water goes solely to Eat two fewer hamburgers per week.

When the rain falls on the feedlots, thousands of tons of excrement are washed into the nearestriver,polluting untold billions of gallons of precious drinking water, often upstream from cities and towns." Okay, so I ruined your appetite a little, but none of us has to become vegetarians to keep us out of war in the Mid East. A 25 percent cutback in meat consumption would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. In the event of a ground war with Iraq, American casualties alone are estimated to go as high as 100,000. Is a Whopper or McDLT worth the price? The choice is yours. ~ K EN CARTER/PIONEER College should have foreseen problems I t's hard to believe that CSUSM officials couldn't foresee the troubles that lay ahead when they contracted Louetto Construction Inc. to work on the new campus.

S TAFF E DITORIAL �8 E XPI j ORI PIONEER/TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1990 Locals, T Kiwis endure ruffian's sport JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER hey call themselves the "Guikha's." The Escondido c lub's name is British, descending from the Himalayan Tribesmen that comprise a reputable company in the British Army. Their game, however, is played not only in Britain, but is one of the top amateur sports in France, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The Gurkha's are only one team out of about 20 in Southern California that play the game of Rugby. Ray Steel, the Escondido Rugby Football Club director, said that Rugby is a misunderstood game. Some even say i t's hard to differentiate it from Australian Rules Football and a street brawl. He explained that Rugby originated from soccer, when a disenchanted player decided to change the rules. "He started running with the ball in his arms," said Steel, "and the other guys d idn't like that so they tackled him. "And that's how Rugby got started." he object of Rugby is similar to most field games: get the ball over the goal line. In this fast-paced game, however, there is no stopping. There is a moving line of scrimmage, established by the ball carrier. Because players cannot go in front of this line of scrimmage, the ball can only be passed laterally or backwards. Yardage is gained by running or kipking the ball. Even though a player is stopped by being tackled, the play doesn't end. Any player from either team can get the ball and continue. Another factor f or the continuous game is that no player can be replaced. The teams enter the field at the start of the game and only leave for a five minute half time break. Each half lasts 4 0 minutes. It w asn't until the 1960s that players were allowed to leave due to injuries. Before, players were required to continue playing regardless of pain. "You can only be replaced by injury," said John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach. "The same players go in and play the entire ' game." A team is allocated two replacements per game for injuries. Goals count as four-points, with the extra point scoring two. Both drop kicks and Penalty Kicks count as three-points. Australia New Zealand Wales America Britain So.

S " A large part of the game is the friends that you meet on your own team and on other teams," he said. "I have a lot of friends in other R ugbyjeams around San Diego. "Being friends doesn't stop us from playing hard on the field, but afterwards we can talk about with the other guys and have a few beers or something. That's a large part of the game." On the Gurkha's recruitment flyers, it promotes friendship and a party after each practice and game. Steel explained that this is a great attribute, and exclusive to Rugby. "In football, especially, y ou're out there to kill the enemy and you certainly d on't want to socialize with them afterwards," Steel said. "In Rugby you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can kill you as well. So the game is not for people who like to go out and stick people.

To'bloody win' goal of new coach JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER "There's one thing I like io do as a coach, and that is to bloody win." John Hammond seemed to have a prepared speech as he addressed the Escondido Rugby Football Club with that statement. His confidence d idn't come from preparation, however, it came from experience. Hammond, also known as "Hammy" or "Hamster," i sn't a stranger to the game of Rugby. H e's coached for the last 20 years in a country where Rugby is the national sport: New Zealand. His love for the warm weather of Southern California brought him to Escondido, where h e's been contracted to coach their Rugby team, the Gurkha's. Hammond continued his introductory speech, by saying, " . . . I hate to loose." M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER A mob of Gurkhas (top) work the ball into play during a "scrum." A player His own team in Temuka, (below) dives for a pass during a recent rugby practice at San Marcos New Zealand, is proof of his desire for excellence. They won Junior High School. last season's championship undefeated. "I always like a challenge," Hammond said. "They had a good season and did everything I showed them." Hammond said that Rugby is played by all ages in New Zealand, "right on down to the 8-year-olds." Hammond himself started playing the game when he was 10-years-old. "When you're a player, you become public property," Hammond said. "The town feels like they own you. "There's a lot of pride being a Rugby player, especially in a smaller community, the closeknit towns." Commitment is a big part of being a player. Although i t's not mandatory, players usually stay in with their original club and the game is passed down through the generations. " That's what makes it so strong," Hammond said.

And harken to my side, for I have something true to confide. Ladies fair and knights of old still engage in joyous revelry at the Camelot Inn in San Marcos. This traditional English pub abounds with olde world spirit and charm. Lively conversations liberally laced with the burr of the Scottish, the lilt of the Irish, or the "real English" of the Britains can be heard around the pub. To keep everyone in good cheer, Camelot has on tap a variety of British beer. Harp, Watney's, Guiness, John Courage, Bass, Newcastle, McEwan's, Blackthorn Cider and Carlsberg flow from the taps. They also have a fine variety of imported beers and Scotch. To ease the hunger pains, Camelot serves food with British names. Dinner takes on an interesting flair when the choice of entrees include: Toad in the Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie, Bangers Beans and Chips, and Cod in Hand. The prices are moderate, from $6.50 for Sheppard's Pie to $12.50 for Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding. Friday nights are special true, for the little people come and sing for you. The Sandlewoods perform Irish folk music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The entertainment is suitable for the whole family; with people singing along and occasionally dancing a jig. Friday nights are quite popular and, because reservations are not accepted, it is necessary to get there early. Darts are played by amateurs and pros alike. They even have team sports on Monday night. Like every good country pub, Camelot has dart games that are very serious. It has three dart boards and sponsors two dart teams in the National Dart Association's Monday night team competitions. The pub provides house darts for the friendly noncompetition games. Jeff Schwaia, a student from SDSU, and Randy Tate, a teacher from Carlsbad Junior High School, are organizing a dart team to start the new season competition in January. They practice on Tuesday nights and are looking for dart players to join their team, "The Blind Squirrels." Camelot is a place full of smiles, reminiscent of the British Isles. " It's not just the Brit Beer, but the food prepared like w e're used to," said Dr. McClellan, a native from Edinburgh, Scodand, when asked about Camelot Inn. He went on to say, "Camelot is a little bit of B ar R ules Although there is a party atmosphere, the Gurkhas have some rules to follow when they're at the Camelot Inn: NO F INGER-POINTING: The substitute, using an elbow to point, makes everyone look like birds. DRINK WITH YOUR LEFT HAND: You also cannot touch the glass with your pinkie. NO 'D' WORDS: Drink, Drank, or Drunk are not allowed. Consumed is the popular substitue. NO EMPTY GLASSES ON TABLES: Filled ones only. home, and we can roll our Rs as long as we want." Come often, come alot, to enjoy the olde world charm at Camelot. Camelot Inn is open weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dining room is closed Monday night, but the pub is open for cheer and dart tournaments. Friday night is Irish folk night and on Saturday a variety of life music is offered. The pub is located between Highway 78 and restaurant row, at 887 W. San Marcos Blvd. �Rugby tests skill, endurance COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Hammond retired as a player and became a coach in 1968. His record for the past 20 years makes him proud. "In the senior level, I 've had seven championship wins," he said. " I've had a couple others at a lower level too." Hammond's United States counterpart, the Gurkha's, i sn't too far from what he l eft "There's a good core of dedicated players who will learn and improve their game," Hammond said. Playing with the "All American" members, Hammond stressed the need for "overseaers" on the Escondido team. "For a team to develop, they need some overseaer back and some overseaer forwards," Hammond said in reference to player positions. ' They know when to take those chances, more than the All Americans." This need is filled by the c lub's director, Ray Steel, who is also from New Zealand, and four players, two from Europe and two from South Africa. "That's the way we like i t." In one tournament game, only four foreigners are allowed to play. Hammond's talk certainly sets him off as an overseaer, but his words have more than j ust an accent. There are slang words f or just about everything in Rugby, from All American, referring to the locals; Kiwi's, New Zealand natives; and Palmies, Europeans. Some terms are easy to pick up on, others are harder to define. Another speech characteristic about Hammond is his stuttering when he gets excited. He brought Speaking the language of those who play Rugby is just about as difficult as learning the rules of the game. Here's a guide that might help: ALL AMERICANS: United States natives that play the game well, but lack the born-experience to play Rugby. KIWIS: Native to New Zealand, where Rugby is the national sport. PALMIES: Europeans. Rugby is popular in Wales, Britain and in France. YARKIES: Foreigners that hale from South Africa. OVERSEAERS: All of the above with the exception of All Americans. OLD BOYS: Players fresh out of high school. RUGBY: The ruffian's game played by gentlemen. this up when he first addressed the Gurkha's, and said he uses it to his advantage. "Some players need to hear things more than once, so I accomplish this in one sentence," Hammond said. His contract is ova* in December; his stay here in the States will only last two months due to the Escondido C lub's limited ability to support him. But he says he will be back. If a full time coaching j ob comes up, Hammond said he will be happy to move t o the states permanently. I had been playing for about five, or maybe ten minutes. The players let me get used to the field, my teammates, and the object of the game. After this brief introductory period, I was passed the pigskin ball. And I ran, not because it was the object of the game, but I ran for my life. I was engaged in the game of Rugby. Unlike previous Thrill Seekers, I had entered an adventure that is riddled with cliches like, "Give ' Blood: Play Rugby." This sport has the reputation of looking like a street brawl. But, in the short time I had on the field with the Gurkha's, the team of the Escondido Rugby Football Club, I learned the game is more than just blood and guts. The object is simple: get the ball to the goal. The rules that have to be followed in the attempt of making that score are a bit confusing. In comparison, try teaching American Football to the Japanese. The game is strenuous. In a normal game, play is divided into two, 40-minute halves. The game I played was about 15-minutes long and was a warm-up practice, so there was no tackling (thank God). But in that short period of time, the unfit bones began to hurt and the skins became damp with sweat. I played the left end of the scrimmage line. The player next to me was experienced and a returning member to the club. He attempted to teach me the rules as he contributed a great deal to the action. SEEKERS We were to stay behind the man with the ball. That sounded easy, but the carrier kept moving and would throw it without warning. Rugby i sn't like football. There is a line of scrimmage, but the ball can be thrown to another player at any time. And because your teammates have to stay behind the ball, you can only throw it backwards or sideways. The effect of gaining yardage by running makes for an exciting game. By the time I had become comfortable with the game, it was that time in practice to get into shape. Fitness is a big part of the game. John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach, stresses more fitness than actual game strategies. With the 80-minute nonstop games, however, I can understand his concerns. I joined in with the Gurkha's in their fitness exercises. After all, I was seeking a thrill and I had to experience both the good and the bad. But after an hour of a practice game and exercises, I bowed out and retired to my reporters note pad. I decided to stick to writing and leave the Rugby training to the professionals. With drills that would make a marine sweat, the Gurkha's spent the next half of practice pushing, pulling, stretching, and bringing pain to every muscle in their bodies. The coach ensured them that the pain would lessen and the drills would increase as the preseason comes to a close. The game and fitness is only half of the Rugby sport. The other part comes after the work is completed. The Escondido Club members retire to a local bar, where they get their reputation of having great parties. Despite the bruhaha at that night's gathering, they say the parties after the tournament are more intense. Here, there are the standard party rules. No finger-pointing, drink with your left hand only, no saying "drink," "drank," or "drunk" and so forth. Craig, the only part of his name I could understand, explained more rules associated with Rugbyparties. He said you c an't put your glass down empty and you c an't show your teeth when laughing. Hammond demonstrated this rule when he removed his dentures and laughed. These gatherings bring out the greatest attribute in Rugby: friends. Sportsmanship is almost a requirement and friendship is one of the benefits. This part of the game outweighs the blood and guts p art Rugby is a wear and tear sport, but the training is paid off in fast, exciting games and a collection of "mates."

Because we are asked to seat ourselves, we decided to sit at a large, southern-decorated table rather than the many booths lining the walls and windows. As I looked around, I saw white walls decorated with cowboy memorabilia including spurs and saddles. Also decorating the walls were washboards, plows, skulls, and pans. Along the rear wall, separated by a trellis from the dining area, were t wo pool tables. One could play pool for fifty cents a game. Also, a laser disc juke box was ready to play anything from oldies to the most modern of music. Next to the juke box was an old fashioned soda fountain where one could order anything on the menu. Troy, our waiter, introduced us to the most famous item on the menu, O LLEGIATE the half-pound steerburger, served with a condiment tray, which consists of pickles, red onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustards and mustard relish. We ordered the steerburger, milk shakes, french fries and onion rings; however, the menu also included cheeseburgers, bar-b-que burgers, hot O URMET dogs, chicken and fish and chips. Also on the menu were brews and wine. Everything on the menu was available for take-out Neither of us was able to finish our hamburger because of the large portions. The onion rings were delicious and the frenchfrieswere crispy. We truly enjoyed our dinner, and each of us carried doggie bags home. The Boll Weevil we visited is located in Oceanside. There are Boll % Weevils in San Marcos and Escondido, as well as 17 other locations throughout the county.
