ASI Early Learning Center (ELC). ASI currently subsidizes the ELC, however the grants would help alleviate costs to run the center and would be used to pay for teachers' salaries. The ELC is a childcare program for children two to five years old, and provides care for the children of CSUSM students, faculty, staff, and the community. At the board meeting, Gonzalez told of the need for a site supervisor for the ELC. The supervisor would teach in classroom 3, the preschool class, and would relieve some of the teachers. The site supervisor would also serve as a sounding board for ELC teachers and adult volunteers, and work in conjunction with Joyce Williams, ELC Program Director. The ELC supervisor should have a master's degree in human or child development, be an expert in curriculum and counseling, and have early childhood education units. The board plans to pay the site supervisor with the money that would have gone to an ELC teacher who left the center. Gonzalez also announced the need for an independent contractor to assess the ELC. The contractor would assess curriculum, staffing, and the finance of the center. The costs for the assessment report, travel costs, consultation, and future contact with the contractor would be $3,000. There is the hope among the board that the ELC will move on campus in a few years, with plans and a building layout already in progress. ELC tuition may change, according to an ELC rep. Currently CSUSM students pay either $22 or $15 a day for ELC tuition, depending on a fullday program or part- day program for their child. CSUSM faculty and staff pay either $25 or $27 per day, and community members pay $27 or $18 per day for tuition. For The Pride Faculty members at all 22 Cal State campuses are threatening a strike if current talks with administrators do not yield a new contract. "I think it's highly likely that we will strike," said George Diehr, a Cal State San Marcos faculty member and member of the faculty's bargaining team. "There's been no effort to bargain productively or in good faith." The California Faculty Association and the Cal State administration have been in negotiations since last April, and have yet to come to an agreement for the faculty's next threeyear contract. Two weeks after the current contract expired on June 30, the Public Employees Relations Board declared in impasse in the bargaining. Both sides are engaging in meetings with a mediator that could last through October. The California Faculty Association bargains for all 22,000 Cal State faculty in the state. Cal State San Marcos has about 150 faculty union members, and 374 total full- and part-time faculty. The faculty is asking for a 5.7 percent average salary increase, including a 3 percent increase across the board, Diehr Sundance AwardWinning Film Director Comes to GSUSM By VICTORIA B.

They are also seeking more compensation for part-time faculty, extended contracts for parttime faculty, equal pay for teaching during the summer, and the hiring of more full-time faculty. The Cal State administration claims the governor and state legislature determine its budget, including salary increases, and that it is not able to meet the faculty's demands. "The governor gave us a 2 percent package," said Mary Elizabeth Stivers, Cal State San Marcos Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and a member, of the administration's bargaining team. "We say, the governor gave us 2 percent, and that's what we're giving."

By JENNIFER HOLMES and DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writers As rescue teams in New York City and Washington D.C. continue to work around the clock to recover and rescue victims, several CSUSM clubs have come together to show their remorse and support for individuals suffering from the Sept 11 tragedy. During last week's Business Expo/Club Fundraising events, organizations including the Anime Project Alliance, Sigma Iota Epsilon, and the Victorious Club coordinated a flower drive on Wednesday and Thursday to raise money. They purchased approximately 75 roses and 70 Times Disaster Relief Fund, which will match $.50 on the dollar, according to another coordinator, Chris Donahue of Sigma Iota Epsilon, which is an honorary management fraternity. "If other clubs want to donate flowers or help maintain the booth, we welcome them," said Donahue. "They are also encouraged to donate by purchasing flowers from the booth."

If the mediation process does not yield a new contract, both sides enter into factfinding - one representative from each side and an outside arbitrator will comb through the issues and make a recommendation. If a compromise is not reached after the factfinding report is released at the end of this semester, Diehr said the faculty would strike. Cal State administrators say they are not sure at what point the administration would give in should there be a strike. "It's hard to say," Stivers said. "If 90 percent of the faculty go on strike, we would then talk about how to resolve this." Last year, faculty at universities in Hawaii went on strike for two weeks before the administration settled on a contract. If a university is closed for more than two" weeks, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges will not count the semester for accreditation purposes. During the strike, the Hawaiian faculty union said it was willing to sponsor student lawsuits to gain their units back if the semester was thrown out. Cal State faculty has never gone on strike before, and Stivers said she hopes the situation does not come down to that. "I am hopeful that we can resolve this before it gets to that point," she said. "In the end, the people most affected by a strike are the students." Diehr said whether or not there is a strike is up to the administration, noting that the chancellor has imposed his own deal twice before when negotiations where at an impasse. "They don't believe we will strike, therefore they don't bargain," Diehr said. "Ergo, we have to strike." If the faculty do strike, it will happen sometime during the spring semester, after all the state-mandated bargaining meetings have taken place. S tudents!

On Monday morning, Sept. 17, after a four-day closure, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reopened with a symbolic and humble beginning. New York Emergency and Fire Rescue workers rang the opening bell, signifying the start of trading. After pausing for a two-minute moment of silence before the market's opening, Richard Grasso, Chairman of the NYSE, said, "This couldn't have happened without them . .. Our heroes will now open the market place." The sound of the bell was almost muted by the applause of the crowd. After an initial plummet, the market stabilized briefly. At the end of Monday's trading, the market showed signs of strength. Other than drastic drops in insurance, airline, and financial service markets, it was a relatively average day on Wall Street. As more information throughout the week pointed to the United States moving toward war, stocks continued to fall and trading ended on Friday with the worst one-week drop since July of 1933, during the Great Depression. The Dow Jones fell 14.2 percent or almost 1,370 points, equaling approximately $1.4 trillion in market value losses. "Fear was stronger than greed," commented Beatrice Black for National Public Radio's ( NPR) Market Place, s umming u p the feelings around Wall Street. The mood in New York's financial district was one of uncertainty. "Anyone who bought yesterday looks like a moron today. And if you buy today, you're worried about looking like an idiot tomorrow. The likelihood of looking like an idiot next week is quite high," said Dominic Freud, of European stocks at S.G. Cowan in New York, during an interview o n N PR's Market Place. Although there is an air of fear permeating the market, the travel industry, including airlines and hotels, is taking the brunt of the losses. American and TWA have both halted meal services in an attempt to save money. 75,000 airline jobs have been cut across the board. The New York City hotel industry is reporting a 45 percent capacity, rather than the seasonal 75 percent. And, hitting closer to home, Tijuana's downtown sector of three to five-star hotels report 90 percent of their reservations have been cancelled due to border and travel problems, according to Judy Martin during an interview on NPR. Congress has agreed on an immediate expenditure of $5 billion to help bolster the airline industry, with a promise for $10 billion in loan guarantees. This is an attempt to reestablish public confidence and help to return the United States to a sense of normalcy. Bill Nelson, D. Senator of Florida, said returning the airline industry to normalcy is a "very essential first step" on the road to economic recovery. In spite of the negative circumstances in financial areas around the country, many investors said they believe that the market will bounce backh and the drop in stock prices could actually be a golden opportunity for some beginning investors. Looking at past domestic disasters, the drop in market value following the incidents lasted for a short time and then rose to even higher levels, mirroring consumer Confidence. "We've suffered a direct economic impact, but the ripple effect is troubling," said Hilary Rodham Clinton, a D. Senator of New York, during a CNN interview Friday morning. Rodham Clinton said that people around the country need to keep going, and should not withdraw from their everyday activities. In an attempt to alleviate some of the ripple effect she said, "we need to tend to everyday business . .. live our lives." Second Forum Held at GSUSM t o Discuss Terrorism Attacks »Article cont.from pg. 1 a member of the American Council on Education Fellow, spoke on media and terrorism. "If we give up our civil liberties then the terrorists have won," said Dr. Bethami Dobkin. Student Darren Marks, a senior and member of the student organization, Young Americans for Freedom, agreed with Dobkin's statement about not allowing the terrorists to "win" by giving up civil liberties. "I will guarantee you that this type of terrorism will happen again in the future," he said. Another student representative, Ricardo Favela, from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.,), also spoke Thursday afternoon. Favela and fellow student Isabel Soliz set up an altar last week as part of an independent study on Founders' Plaza in remembrance of those that lost their lives in the attacks. Panel members also discussed the racism and violence - towards Muslims, and people of Arab descent. Other professors on the panel included: Farid Mahdavi and Patty Seleski, history professors, Susie Cassel, literature and writing and ethnic studies professor, Liliana Rossman, communication professor, Peter Zwick, Director of University Global Affairs, Staci Beavers, political science professor, Wesley Schultz, psychology professor, and Don Barrett, sociology professor. Tuesday, September 25,2001 3 Graduation Open Forum in the Works Robert McArdle, his children, and a fellow student helped chalk the CSUSM stairs. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Students will notice a bit more color on campus in the next few weeks, due to a group of graduating seniors who are chalking the steps around the university to demonstrate their unhappiness with the university's decision to hold this year's commencement off campus. The group of students, led by Robert McArdle, a senior and liberal studies major, began chalking the steps leading down to the first floor of Craven Hall, near the flag pole. "Seniors unite," is now the colorful message that welcomes individuals as they walk up the steps. "We want to bring student awareness to the administration's decision to move graduation off campus," said McArdle. "We're letting student voices be heard, when administration should have done it in the first place." The seniors working with McArdle include Bryan Clark, Beverly Huss, Alicia Mendivil, and James Tellez. They have organized a graduation open forum for students that will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the steps of Founders' Plaza, outside of Academic Hall 102. McArdle announced the upcoming forum during the ASI Board of Director's meeting on Friday. The open forum will be a place for students to discuss their thoughts, complaints, and suggestions concerning the graduation ceremonies, according to McArdle. Students will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and create awareness for the entire campus about the current graduation plans. We're hitting seniors first because it (graduation) will hit them first," said McArdle. "We have administrators who said they'd come to the forum, along with the Assistant to the President, Student and Residential Life, ASI." The students are trying to find more sponsors for their cause. They presently have the Future Educators Club as a direct sponsor for the graduation forum. McArdle said that he recently sent out 5,704 e-mails to students and faculty announcing the need for a graduation open forum and received 2,166 responses. "I got tons of support. Out of the 2,166 e-mails I got back, only three were negative," said McArdle. "In half of those e-mails, I got people who thought graduation was still at Palomar." Commencement 2001-2002 will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Robert McArdle at mcard001@csusm.edu. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." —Henry David Thoreau mm m were 100 movies a year with Indians," said Eyre. "And John Forbes was one of the most detrimental things to happen to Indians," said Eyre, who described Forbes' earlier movies, like 1939's "Stagecoach," as portraying Native Americans with no culture. Eyre described Forbes' 1964 film, "Cheyenne Autumn," however, as the redemption movie. "He took back his portrayal of Indians," said Eyre. Eyre, who is originally from Klamath Falls, Oregon, said he got involved with photography before he began working with film. "I never intended to work with actors," said Eyre. "I never thought about the representation of Native-Americans when I was growing up. Eyre also reflected on the recent attack in New York City and Washington, D.C. "It gives generations behind mine, in their 20s, a cause. Because this could last 10 years, or more. There could be a legacy beyond that. If you jsaw what happened if it hit you between the eyes, don't miss the point. That's a generational calling. Have love for each other." Eyre also said he hopes to work on a movie based on the life of Leonard Peltier, an Anishinabe-Lakota Indian, who is considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International. "It's been on the table for about three years now," said Eyre. "But nobody's stepping up to the plate. There's no marquee Indian actor." Students also asked how Eyre competes with more highbudgeted films with special effects, a contrast to Eyre's "home dramas," as he described them, and his films, like "Skins," which cost $2.5 million to film. "I read somewhere that when no one's looking, you can make a good movie," said Eyre. "So I make small movies and something that's meaningful to me." • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i C % r • 1 R mI l e r n l lc t lei 1 1 9 e r I I m mV nt Wo m I ll 2 002 Planning Need • • S tudent R epresentatives • -Logistics Committee • -Program Committee • -Reception/Open House Committee • i i a • ! • • J a J If you are interested in serving, please complete an application in the Associated a Students, inc. office, Commons 203.

Reminded that I had to write a review, I reluctantly sank back into the padded chair. Disappointed, I turned the page on my notepad and began doodling. A flash from the movie screen called for my attention. There stood Edward Norton. He began to stumble down the brick-layered Montreal street, voluntarily shaking, head cocked to one side. My d isappointment quickly turned to interest. Frank Oz, who in the past has concentrated on some memorable comedies, including "What About Bob?," decided to play it safe with his first thriller, "The Score," using a plot soiled and washed so many times, the color has faded. "The Score" may have scored enough points to keep the game interesting by providing some sparks and suspense in the final scenes, but when the game ended, Edward Norton was left empty handed, scratching his head (don't worry Edward, you weren't the only one). Norton's performance wasn't the reason "The Score" fell short, but rather it was an over-used game plan. Even though Oz recruited an all-star cast including Robert Dinero (Nick), Edward Norton (Jack/ Brian), Marlon Brando (Matf), and Angela Bassett (Diane), how did he expect his team to win when the opposition (audience) knew their every move? He couldn't. Nick and Brian both work for Max, a shameless man who uses self-pity and whining to keep Nick active. Max needs Nick, a polished jewel thief, to take one last job. Max coordi- nates an easy plan (easy because he makes the plan), using Nick and Brian to retrieve an ancient scepter held i n. the Montreal Custom's House that is worth millions and will solve everyone's problems. Max can pay off his debts and, in return, live. Nick, who usually abandons a job at the slightest insecure feeling, commits anyway. He wants to pay off his lazy jazz club and marry his girlfriend Diana (Bassett). Jack will establish himself in the jewelry thief business and make more money than he can spend. It's a win-win situation for everyone, almost. The highlight of the movie is Brian, Edward Norton's character in the film. Brian is a mentally challenged person who takes advantage of everyone around him at the Custom's House, where he works as a janitor. Norton's previous roles, including a racist, hatred-filled turned compassionate character in "American History X" and a split personality in "Primal Fear," have established him as a premier actor. The final heist in "The Score" goes down in a suspenseful yet abusive fashion; only one thief escapes with the treasure. The assortment of equipment Nick uses to complete the heist compared in length to the minutes the movie ran: too many. Nick pulled out gadget after gadget from his bottomless sack. "The Score" did show one original quality; much of the movie focused on the preparation for the heist, which made for some stagnant scenes, doing more harm than good. When Nick and Jack actually performed the heist, I already knew what to expect. Confused, I didn't know whether to feel cheated, or lucky to receive twice the value of admission. Frank Oz may have failed in his first try at a thriller, but he shouldn't get discouraged. Moviegoers are very forgiving. Frank, don't settle on your favorite .hand-me-down shirt, you already know how it's going to feel when you put it on. Take a chance with a new shirt, one you alone picked out. Take it home and wear it. which also sponsors "La Paz Tras el Cerco," or "Peace under Siege," a photography exhibit in the Library Gallery. The exhibit, which opened Sept. 5, is a collection of photographs portraying images of violence and unrest in Mexico.

Well, besides completely satisfying the typical movie-going American audience, you create "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation." Why spend eight bucks to sit through Hollywood's latest plot-deficient pathetic excuse for entertainment, when you can take that same wad of cash and witness pure (but not innocent) animated comedy with the sick and twisted features we all secretly desire. "This year wasn't the best," said Farrida Castro, who attended the festival. "On a scale from one to 10, I give it a seven. But they showed 'Rejected,' one of my all-time favorites." When a few handwritten words appeared on the screen, you could feel the audiences' hopeful anticipation as everyone shifted themselves to the edge of their seats. The words read: "A bitter cartoon," by Don Hertzfeldt. People behind me were giving high-fives as they knew what was to come; just then the image on-screen switched to one sloppy handwritten title: "Rejected." Half of the audience jumped out of their chairs, cheered, hooted, and laughed, and that was just the title. Feeling like friends at a bachelor party when the huge papier-mache cake is brought out, the other half of the audience and I knew we were in for a real treat. Stick-figure animation, con- versation bubbles and cheesy elevator music, cooked together with a few clever lines of harsh relationship-ending cliches and low-tech violence made for about the most hilarious two minutes of my life. "No Neck Joe" was another crowd-pleaser, this time starring a young Joe who,, unsurprisingly, has no neck. These 30-second cartoons sporadically placed throughout the festival have such titles as "Joe Go.es Star-Gazing" and "First Hickey." But these are definitely not why this festival boasts "Sick and Twisted" in its name. The majority of these animations have graphic and disturbing violence, such as heads ripping off, or mutilation by rabid animals. A nine-minute animation set in a fancy Italian restaurant, involved several characters shooting vomit into each other's mouths, while waiters tried to drain the building by hand so the puke wouldn't overflow into the streets - that was disgustingly hilarious. There was even a sick and twisted sexual parody of a typical preschool book, where audiences can "See Spot Run," and "Watch Spot Hump Jane." In 1977, Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble collaborated to promote underground bands including their own "Sterno & the Flames." To make ends meet, they occasionally held all-night horror-a-thons, showed classic rock 'n roll films like "Jimmy Plays Berkeley" and "Quadraphenia," and premiered original short animations like "Bambi meets Godzilla," which soon developed into a cult favor- ite. Spike and Mike soon realized the potential in this previously untouched entertainment genre, and embarked on one of America's greatest forms of entertainment when they created Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. The annual Animation Festival began in 1990 and is growing more popular every year, despite the unfortunate death of Mike Gribble in 1992. The festival is not only a great form of alternative entertainment, but has also spawned some of America's most famous animation superstars, such as Beavis and Butthead. As for Comedy Central's hit matureaudience cartoon, South Park, well, that too started at the Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. It is home to "Spirit of Christmas," the original, uncensored South Park cartoon by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. If you're one of the thousands that still cry when Bambi's mom is shot, avoid this festival; but if Disney's tear-jerking sagas failed to touch your heart, then this version is going to smack your funny bone. The Sick and Twisted Festival will play in different parts of San Diego until Nov. 17. Call Landmark's Ken Cinema at (619) 283-5909 for show times, contact Ticket Master, or get all the information, plus other sick and twisted animations on-line at www.spikeandmike.com. Tickets are $6.75 or $8 dollars, depending on if you remember to bring your student ID for the discount. �Ever since the tragic events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, our world has changed. Not only on the grand scale of military action and how we view our freedom, but also on our campus. The anguish felt around the nation is felt here, as is the anxious guessing of what will happen next. Those feelings have sparked a lively debate in and out of our classrooms. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what the United States' next move should be - either to bomb the smithereens out of the Middle East or to peacefully do nothing and avert nuclear war. Others are blaming Arab Americans and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By RICHARD SAUNDERS F o r The Pride There is a country that stands tall and true, And guess what America that country is you. Mysterious knowledge of the past you mask. I have just a couple of questions to ask. Where is Chandra Levy? Is she alive and well? That's the wrong question. Is Condit going to hell? Gary Condit says that there is an explanation... "I didn't do it. Vote for me in the next election, I'll put an end to this violence that is clearly bad, And get rid of.. .uh.. .end all the problems you've had." If his nose gets any longer he'll still be a toy, Tell the truth Condit and you'll be a real boy. Where is our president? Oh he's back from vacation? Oh he went to Texas for some peace and relaxation. One question to ask him to get him The Pride C o-Editor C o-Editor .

How did someone get enough money together to pay for the attacks on Sept. 11? Throughout Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has many "charities" to which wealthy Saudi businessmen contribute millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Oil. OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the primary organizer, is our main source of oil. Every time you turn on a light switch, cook a meal, pave an asphalt road, and run your car, you are putting money into bin Laden's pocket. What can we do? Stop buying oil from nations like Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not spent the money on her people or land. Our money is not being spent on helping a country thrive; it's being spent on threatening our lives. Who can we call on to change this? Contact your representatives, senators, and local officials. We shouldn't have to pay to be terrorized, yet that is exactly what is going on. (To read the full essay with supporting references, go to http:// home.earthlinkjiet/~firerock/) E.A. Jensen Santa Monica Correction During the tragedy of the WTC and Pentagon terrorist attacks, I made an unfortunate mistake. I had received a wonderful forward, from many friends, of a prayer. As a result, like I do with all forwards, I cut the text from that message and sent it as a new message to many of my friends. Seeing as I had also received e-mail from The Pride, I decided to place that e-mail address on the list. I had hoped that it would be placed in the school publication as an e-mail that had been sent out as a reaction to the terrorist attacks. However it was published as if I had been the author of that prayer. I am sorry for the confusion and wish that I knew who the true author of the prayer was so that s/he could receive credit. I thank my family in New York for sending me the e-mail, and I also thank The Pride for sharing the e-mail with the rest of the student body and faculty that read The Pride. I feel that the more people that read this prayer the better; however^ I in no way mean to take credit away from the true author of the letter. Megan Crea Letters to the Editors Praise and Condemn? In this time of national tragedy and grief that American citizens everywhere are sharing, I am writing this letter to you to voice my shame in The Pride. In the article "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," the authors are blatantly finger-pointing and showing an irreverence to fellow student's emotions. While it may be true that many students needed silence for reflection and prayer, it is also important to consider that other students deal with their emotions differently. While some students were trying to deal with the sheer shock of the events that were unfolding, others were angered and their anger was finding a cathartic route through music. How can the authors praise some students, and yet, condemn others for the way they chose to come to grips with the reality of our situation? The job of journalists is to present news in a professional and unbiased manner to allow for the reader to come to their own conclusions. The media is powerful and has the means to shape readers views and opinions. Please do not abuse this power by promoting discord among our students, especially in a time that calls for unity, understanding and the freedom of expression among Americans.

Bill Holmes �The Pride __ Opinion Tuesday, September 25, 2001 7 The Critical Thinking Cliche Battle of the Sexes By JOSEPH SANCHEZ For The Pride At first it amused me, but then the steady bombardment of it began to upset me. In spite of all the talk, the implications were clear: CSUSM only uses the term "Critical Thinking" as a cliche. I sat through class after class, listening to professor after professor solemnly pontificate about the importance of critical thinking, and how that was one of the central goals of their class, "I want to help you think critically about these important subjects, etc, etc." Haven't we all heard this, or is this only the mantra of the humanities department? The joke being of course that we have no philosophy department! We have only two philosophy professors, and one of them was hired just this year. As I pondered this humorous state of affairs, I realized that there might be more than just bureaucracy involved. After all, didn't one of my Lit professors respond to a claim that he was contradicting himself with," It's postmodernism, it doesn't have to be logical." Now the term critical thinking does not imply that an argument need only have logical coherence, but logic is an important, possibly foundational, part of it. If postmodernists have reinvented the wheel (or questioned its existence), then why do they keep the term? Because it empowers them with the illusion of being real critical thinkers when in fact they are just ideological peddlers. The problem is real. Take for example the lack of critical thinking over abortion. The real issue involved is not the right of a woman to her own body, nor is it the moral problem with murder. Both sides, I think, have basic agreement in regard to those issues. The real issue is what defines a human life? Instead of engaging each other over this question each side prefers to ridicule the other. By claiming that women's rights are at stake, ProChoice thinkers create a false dichotomy in which they are the enlightened humanitarians and Pro-Choicer thinkers are backwards Neanderthals wishing only to subjugate women. Similarly, Pro-Choice thinkers distance others with psychologically devastating claims about murder and holocaust. Both of these claims are only potentially true. They become true if and only when the unborn fetus is proven to be either human or not human. This is where they should be engaging each other. This does not necessarily imply that our society is hopelessly irrational. I simply used this as a common illustration that we can all relate to. Change Payment Plan to Avoid Making Students Angry and Frustrated By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer The time has arrived and here we are in a new semester. Looking forward to meeting new friends and having a smooth transition from last semester to this semester? I hope you had a nice summef break that will give you enough energy to fight for your rights. As a senior here at California State University San Marcos, I was very prepared to register on tiijie to take all my required classes to graduate. I registered some time in May of 2001 or June of 2001 and got my entire schedule set for my school and work. When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at Cal State University San Marcos. The reason for that is because someone suggested to whomever is in charge with changing our payment options, that it would be better if they received funds 10 days after a student registers for classes. From a business perspective, when you buy something you normally get something out of it, which is understandable. Which means, if we register we should pay our registration fees. However, there should be some kind of set guideline that is convenient for students, such as making sure that if they have a loan, their payment will be deferred, or make them pay as soon as they attend classes. What I mean is that many student that I have talked to at the very beginning of the school semester had to crash all of their classes due to their classes being cancelled by the Admissions Office for not paying within 10 days of registration. But for those of us who are graduating, it might be difficult to just crash a class in order to fit our schedules. On exactly Aug. 21, 2001 2 p.m. in the afternoon, I met with my close friend, Patrice Labao here at school to get ahead with the semester and buy a parking permit and books. When I came to the bookstore ready to buy a book and punch in my Student ID number along with my code, the computer screen read, "you are not registered." "When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at CSUSM.'9 I started to panic and hyperventilate. I felt a little mad, to slightly describe it, blood rushing to my head, and I had a major migraine. I rushed to the Admissions Office and asked about my status within this University. I spoke with a young woman and she stated, "Well, we dropped your classes because we did not receive your payment on time." I responded, "I have a student loan here at Cal State and I have been attending this University a little over four years and I have always had a deferred payment." And she responded, "Why don't you check with the Financial Aid Office because it looks like they needed some information from you." I was very frustrated. I felt like I was betrayed iand neglected. I stood in line for about 10 minutes until I spoke with a lady name Hedy. She was a very nice lady and was very helpful and told me that she needed more paperwork from me. I didn't want to be angry with her because it was not her fault that this happened to me. But as I can recall in the previous semesters, if the Financial Aid Office needed some information from me, then they would mail me a letter informing me that they needed additional information. However, they cancelled my registration as of July 10, 2001 without notifying me. Not only did it create animosity towards the students and staff, but also towards students and Cal State's systematic way of doing things. Furthermore, as soon as I got signatures from the classes that I crashed, the Admissions Office had the audacity to impose a $25 late registration fee. I urge all students who have or have had the similar situation as I have to please question our system. We are talking about our money here. We all should carefully examine fees that are imposed in our registration payment. I suggest that you look at your printout very carefully and see how many types of recreational fees they imposed. We, the students here at California State University San Marcos can make a difference, but we all have to do something about it now. This week: Why don't some guys talk after sex instead of just falling asleep? Battled by JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIMBOYARSKI Justin: Think about what happens when you're "doing it": frictional sensations pulsating through thousands of nerves, and your muscle contracting and dilating over and over again, all while an overdose of serotonin flows through your body like Johnny Raver with a sack of candy. I don't expect you to understand, but believe me, after a long day in the brush, a nap is more than called for. Plus, we have to call in the troops before they can go into battle, and sustaining those troops takes a different kind of flow than Uncle Sam's wallet. a pleasant breather since the estrogen dam gave way).

The crosscountry team is comprised of roughly 40-50 members and began training the 24th of August under the guidance of the coaches. "A handful are from Cal State and a vast majority are transfers from J.C,'s aiid high school," says Coach Scott. As a professional athlete in track and field for 10-15 years, Coach Scott is still racing competitively at the masters level. "The one thing that I really like so far is that there's a lot of team unity. They get along with each other. These guys all come from different areas," comments Coach Scott. Take for example Amy Taylor f rom Rancho Double Sessions for North County Schools? Bernardo High School, who was also a state finalist in the hurdles, and Marcus Chandler, state champion in the mile. These are just a few of the great names on the team. " It's the people that come on that you didn't expect. Those are the ones that are really great. And we've got several of those," says Coach Scott. For example, the team leaders for women's cross-country are Rene McDonald f rom Western Colorado, and Claris Fernandez, a transfer from SDSU. In addition there are team members David Kloz, f rom the Czech Republic and Okwaro Raura, a transfer student from Palomar College, who is originally from Kenya. Raura agrees with Coach Scott's view of the team as a rich and diverse group: "All of us come from different places and as we come together you can see there's a lot of team spirit Clubs < Carnival Days & Gail Skennion PRIDE STAFF WRITER Carnival Days, sponsored by Student Residential Life, were PRIDE STAFF WRITER held on Sept. 7th through 9th in the Founder's Plaza as part of Imagine going to high school CSUSM's Welcome Week in shifts.

I never seemed to notice him before, but lately I wait for his subtle hints and flirtations with great anticipation. I am worried about breaking one of the cardinal rules of dating, however: Don't go out with someone you work with. What do you think? — Dateless and Divorced Other than telling you to keep your main focus on your children who must be the most important creatures in your life, I recommend that you forget that rule. Unless you are a volatile person (or he is) then you needn't avoid a relationship with him. I find it awfully cute that you get that "rush" from his subtle flirtations and there is a lot of richness in just those acts that we tend to ignore. It will be tricky, no doubt, to figure out what his feelings are towards you. Perhaps you can get some dinner after work and chat over a glass of Cabernet. You need to carefully assess if he is "interested" in you and pursue the relationship if he is. You can't seem aggressive at work because that could create problems. If you become friendly enough, just tell him about your feelings without any pressure—just as you expressed them to me. ^Lf he feels similarly, he will likely reciprocate with some words of encouragement for a budding relationship. That rule about not getting together with a coworker is meant for those who can't handle their emotions. Ask yourself this: could you break up with him and still remain cordial? If not, then it'd probably be best to not get involved. If yes, then the workplace is a good place to meet people. You already share something in life and perhaps more because your job may attract a particular type of person that is suited for you. Good luck and please remember that your worth as a person, mom, or whatever does not change according to your dating status. Dear Psyche Fairy, Your response to Josh in the August 30 issue of The Pride was insightful and prompts a question that has puzzled me for many years. As homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex both mentally and physically, why are gays aroused and/or entertained when men impersonate women?—Evelyn Evelyn, this question seemed so silly to me that I wasn't sure if it is a serious curiosity. First, you must understand that there are differences between attraction, arousal, and entertainment. In terms of being entertained, my friend jokingly asks, "Am I a lesbian because I am entertained by female Ticket Erasers W Online Traffic School • Only $19.95 Owned/Operated by CSUSM Alumni Visit our Web Site or caii 800-723-1955 www.ticketerasers.com Serving the fermenting community since 1971 ; i s&f s ll s mm m G&ajts Mim* w carrfia cp^ip^^^ep^pl^c > o r o n e uw Be er S d • iifficur* tWgar oa m W Sn M«s Bv . . a ao l d 40 HH HR PRWY #1 'j * ' > ? /,. / ' ^ t 5 J C L AK A 12 r Sn Mro, C. 909 ' a ac s a 26 . C ** \ 'Vs - J> 4iv* C6) 5199 ?0 9-01 <619} 447.9191 www.beercrafts.coin singers?" Do straight people want to marry clowns because they find them entertaining? Just because gays (and lesbians...and bisexuals...and straights) are entertained by drag queens we cannot assume that they are attracted to these drag queens. Arousal, on the other hand, can be accomplished in many ways. If I blindfolded you and told you that your lover was going to pleasure you, do you think y ou'd know if I replaced this lover with myself? Since arousal is a physiological reaction to a physical stimulus, I could touch or lick you in the right places to make you feel aroused. People can be aroused by many things, trust me. Finally, attraction is not a set-in-stone type phenomenon. Haven't you ever been attracted to someone who later turns you o ff? Sometimes you want dark chocolate, the next day, mocha. Now, to get to the heart of your question, I have to shatter your image and inform you that many drag queens "go home with" straight men! Yes, some gay men are attracted to drag queens, but not most. Why do you think most gay ads contain beefcakes? Why do so many straight men pick up on drag queens? That is up to you to discover, but sometimes it represents a sexual frolic that is easily hidden from their girlfriends/wives and requires no commitment. Samantha M. Cahill Leiana S. A. Naholowaa Cynthia C. Woodward Madeleine E Marshall Staff Columnist Through this artist's paintings, we can view the hills and canyons before they were invaded by houses and shopping malls. G riffith's landscapes impart a feeling of the open air and concentrate on scenes directly from nature classifying him as a plein air painter. The impressionists, as well as the painters of the Barbizon school, made this style of painting an important dimension of their landscape work. Oceanside Museum spokesperson, Ellen Stotmeister, explained that it is not necessary to be an art expert to appreciate this collection. The viewer is immediately aware of what Griffith was try- ing to accomplish. "You don't have to sit back and contemplate this artist's intent, it is beautifully apparent,' Stotmeister said. The museum, a privately funded center at 704 Pier View Way occupies the formei Oceanside City Hall which is listed on the national Register oi Historic Places. The gallery's limited space does not allow permanent exhibits, but the Griffith collection can be viewed through November 14, Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Admission is $3.00 f or non-members, $2.00 f or stu dents, military and seniors. Why am I, a part-time student (three hours two nights a week), required to pay the same parking, Associated Students, Recreation Program, Health Service, Health Facilities, IRA, Student Union, Student Recreation and Recreation fees as a fiill-time student? These fees total $93.1 have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm j ob which prevents me from using most of these services because they are not available in the evening. Why am I not, at least, given a choice of whether or not I want to participate in them? When I began my night school studies at this university two years ago, it was because a degree program designed to assist the working student was promoted. In many cases what I find is the evening student is penalized because they pay in full for services that, in most cases they have no need for, but if they did, are not available to them. If Cal State San Marcos is planning to increase their part-time evening student enrollment, I vigorously suggest they modify these inequities. D EAR EDITORS: Evelyn Choroser ° N APRIL 2 2 a n d 23> 1 9 9 9 > t h e University changed its mascot from Tukwut to Cougar. The Administration arranged for the students of CSUSM to vote on their new mascot. Under the guise of fairness, Cougar was selected. The little known fact about the choices on the allegedly fair vote is that after 10 years of being the mascot of the University 'Tukwut' was NOT one of the options for mascot on the ballot. Why? Tukwut (pronounced 'too-kwoot") is apparently too difficult to pronounce. The pioneering students of this campus were given the charge of finding a mascot for the University some ten years ago. True to the Mission Statement of the University, the group of students sought a symbol that represented the cultural history and richness of the area. After spending some time researching, these students discovered that the Luiseno Tribe were the original inhabitants. In keeping with their quest to be respectful of history of the land and its people, the group of students made contact with Villana Hyde, a Luiseno Indian. This great woman had created a dictionary of Luiseno words in English. She presented the word Tukwut to the students as a gift. The word Tukwut in Luiseno means mountain lion. The students, grateful for this gift, accepted the word from Villana Hyde. By omitting Tukwut from the ballot, the administration has chosen to disregard this gift and the will of the students at CSUSM. The time has come to take a stand! While it is true that they gave the students a chance to vote for an "official" mascot, the omission of Tukwut stands as a glaring example of insensitivity and disregard for the students' rights to influence the culture and direction of their University. This is an act of injustice! In the words of one administrative official on campus, "We can change things at the University and the students wouldn't even know." Is this what we want? Do we want things to be changed at OUR University without us knowing? The time has come to take a stand! All we are asking for is the opportunity for a FAIR vote. Let's give Tukwut a fair chance on a ballot. Give the Itakwut another chance to be heard.

The Oceanside Museum of Art has opened an exhibit of William Alexander Griffith, an artist whose impressionistic style focuses on San Diego areas. Griffith is a plein air artist with works that provide a record of our region before the abundant population growth experienced during the second half of the century.

You may have noticed a special bunch of young men and women cleaning the rest rooms and emptying trash cans on campus. They are college-age special education students from Vista Unified School District here to acquire vocational training. "Janitorial skills are not what they are being taught", said director John Hull, " but skills that are needed in the workplace such as responsibility, showing up on time, and the ability to achieve their goals." Kathy DeLar assists John in the instruction of the ten developmentally delayed students. She says that some days teaching can be a challenge because of the special learning styles of each of the students. Each stu- iwmmmmm S ImHHHH m dent learns differently, essence, "it's like teaching ten different classes every day." Mr. Hull would like fellow students at CSUSM to understand that these students have the same desires as all young adults at this age, to get a job and be productive in society. In the past these young people were shut away from society. Today, due to mainstreaming in schools, they are a vital, flourishing part of our community. "Being developmentally delayed is not catching", Hull stated. When you pass one of these special students somewhere on campus, smile and say, "Hi!" It's been called the "Blockbuster Video" of GSUSM, but it's better. It's FREE. But Media Services, located in Craven 4221, is not a mini-Blockbuster, says Dannis Mitchell, Media Desk Supervisor. It has a lot more to offer than just videos. Media Services contains a wealth of resources for students and faculty. The library's collection of non-print materials includes popular movies* foreign language films in a surprising array of languages, documentaries, and closed-captioned materials for the hearing-impaired. Students can check out foreign films like Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" or Kurosawa's "Rashomon" alongside Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" trilogy. Media Services also house over 3,000 "media-controlled" videotapes, those which can only be watched in the center or taken to class for presentations. These include documentaries like the ten-volume "The History of Rock and Roll" to such programs as "Women of See Media pg. 4 Professor Vourlitis Examines Deforestation in Brazil VISTA continued from page 1 By June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER on the March 2000 General Election Ballot. The OPTIONS Committee stated that if a bond is not approved the District "must adopt double s essions," beginning September 2000. The Board listened to the r ecommendations of other community members including a r epresentative of the Vista Teachers Association, VOICE (a grassroots organization formed to petition the Board f or a bond measure), City C ouncilman Ed Estes, and n umerous citizens of Vista. All declared repeatedly that a b ond m easure would allow the district to solve the critical dilemma of over- If? li crowding. The bond measure appears revived and on October 2 8 th , the Board will meet again to decide formally whether or not to place this measure on the March ballot. Dr. George Vourlitis, ecologist and CSUSM professor, stepped into the Brazilian rain forest on Aug. 19,1999, and fulfilled a boyhood dream. He and his collaborators from Universid Federal de Mato Grosso were there to conduct documented research on the effects of deforestation. Most of us have read how "It is thought that destruction of the rain forest causes global warming." This hypothesis has been floating around for most of our lives in print and media, and yet no one has proven it. The opportunity came for Vourlitis two years ago when he read a NASA solicitation for proposals to do the study. A US proposal would need strong Brazilian cooperation and collaboration to ensure a successful outcome. Through email communication with ecologists living in or near rain forests, Vourlitis found the scientists in the Mato Grosso area fitted the specific NASA recommendations. They were willing to travel to the United States at their own expense to learn the necessary methods and technology. This begins with the conversion of land to agriculture, then to pasture, and the subsequent return to New Forest growth. Land conversion is hypothesized to be a major contributor See Vourlitis pg. 4 �4 Monday, September 13. 1999 MEDIA continued from pg. 3 S IM M AICIS I0tr A i m m m OPEN H IISE N O T O 8: 00PM SATURDAY, S P E B R 18.1999 ON ETME The event is free and open to the public.

This particular phase will end on Feb. 2, 2000. While NASA was unable to fund the research at this time, Vourlitis was commended by Michael Keller, chair of the NASA LB A (Large-scale Biosphere Atmospheric) experiment, who told him the study was badly needed by the space agency. He asked Vourlitis to submit the proposal again. Not wanting to wait any longer, Vourlitis and his fellow scientists decided to solicit seed money for the project.

Imagine a world without the migratory birds that breed in the tropics but raise their young in the U.S. Birds are natural predators of those insect pests that can ruin crops and other vegetation. Large amounts - of water also cycle through the tropics. Without trees, water would evaporate quickly causing atmospheric pressure changes, climate and weather changes, and a change in our life styles. Tropical rain forests have contributed medicines, foods, and fiber to Americans through the years. The genetic basis for many U.S. Crops originated in tropical regions. Potential genetic origins for improving known crops and creating new ones would be lost if rain forests no longer existed. CLASSIFIEDS dents to get more mlormation about becoming involved on campus.

Recordings include world music from Nepal, Thailand, India, Aboriginal Australia, and Greece. A large Frank Zappa collection stands on the same rack as Igor Stravinsky and Selena Rock, pop, country, classical, jazz, blues, and international music can be played in-house or taken home. Students may check out a maximum of two C D's and two videos for a period of one week, with no renewals. The Media Library also has individual listening and viewing stations for those who prefer to sample their media on-site. A collection of slides, mostly images of art and architecture, is in the midst of a cataloguing project, and will be available for students to use next semester. The Media Library also has equipment available for checkout, such as laser light pointers, portable slide projectors and overhead projectors, CD and cassette players, portable PA systems, VHS camcorders (with faculty signature) and tripods. Did the school go to all this trouble just to entertain the students? Actually, Mitchell says, all of the materials are purchased "with curriculum in mind." She estimates that twothirds of the collection consists of academic material. So when you drop by the Media Center to see what it has to offer, remember, it's for your education.

Several campuses held teach-ins. San Marcos held a teach-in Oct 25-26. Various speakers discussedfaculty issues and grievances infront of The Dome. (Pride Photo/James Newell) The trustees of California State University San Marcos and Barbara Dovenbarger, con­ troller of the university, are the defendants in two separate dis­ crimination lawsuits involving employees from student finan­ cial services. This month two of CSUSM’s accountants filed lawsuits, alleg­ ing discriminatory practices enforced by Dovenbarger, also the Director of Student Finan­ cial Services, on the basis of gender, race, and pregnancy. Cecilia Boze was employed by the university for nine years and was the acting assistant director of operations in student financial services. Boze stated that she resigned from the posi­ tion because of the stress she suffered due to discriminatory practices, according to the law­ suit she filed at the Vista Supe­ rior Courthouse. In her complaint, Boze also stated that she was passed over for jobs and promotions that she was qualified for, and that the positions were often given to unqualified individuals who were Dovenbarger’s former col­ leagues, some of whom were white males. Another accountant at CSUSM, Kim Gomez, filed suit at Vista Superior Court, ^ A rticle cont. on pg. 8 Grievances Expressed; Acclaimed Speaker Urges Societal and Educational Change By j a m e s N e w e l l Staff Writer At the first statewide CSU teach-in, faculty and various guest speakers joined represen­ tatives of the California Faculty Association (CFA) to present and explain current trends in the CSU system that are leading toward the corporatization of education. Distinguished guest speaker Stanley Aronowitz, an acclaimed author and professor from City University of New York, was the final speaker. He began his address with thoughts concern­ ing his home state of New York in light of the recent tragedies, then quickly moved to the changing priorities in education. Explain­ ing the corporate mentality as a “they take and we pay” cycle. The teach-ins, which were held at all 22 CSU campuses, were initiated due to the continu­ ing disagreement between the CFA union and the CSU admin­ istration. Some of the issues con­ tributing to the impasse include class size, declining tenure fac­ ulty, and stagnant professor sal­ aries. The CSU contends the quality of education students receive is top priority, but the CFA believes . the vital issues “ I f thefaculty are getting a raw d eal and staff are getting an even worse deal, what are the students getting ... ” — Charles Goetzl Stanley Aronowitz spoke at the teach-in. (Pride Photo/JamesNewell) concerning the future of Califor­ nia’s higher education systems are being ignored. The CSU Prior to the system wide teach-in, the CSU released infor­ mation pertaining to the issues under scrutiny. The CSU con­ tends they are already 2.3 per­ cent above budget for this year. The administration says the CSU system is ahead of the national averages for faculty . salary increases and legislation for budget increases is not probable, given the state’s current eco­ nomic situation. The CSU claims that one of the reasons tenure faculty hires are declining is that the arduous task of finding new faculty would draw staff away from time spent with students. 500-1,000 searches per year are conducted for full-time faculty, and the CSU says this has yielded an increase of 221 full-time fac­ ulty members in the past six years. CSU has had a merit pay program since the mid-1990s. The administration said they believe the merit pay program improves the quality of educa­ tion students receive by reward­ ing outstanding achievement by faculty. At the CjSUSM Teach-in The CSUSM teach-in, held outside the Dome, focused on budget numbers’ manipulation, lack of time for student/faculty relationships, the declining qual­ ity of education, and changes in university priorities. Liliana Rossmann, CSUSM professor of communication, hosted the teach-in, and provided Article cont. on pg. 3 Damagefrom the explosion in FCB. (Pride File Photo/Victor Padilla) Students and Faculty Anticipate Repair of Foundation Building By AMY GRANITE Pride Staff Writer Students and professors attending classes in the trailers in the Foundations Classroom Building (FCB) courtyartfeagerly await the reconstruction of the FCB building, which was dam­ aged by a July blast in which a boulder struck the exterior wall, damaging FCB 101, and another boulder came through the door window, striking the opposite wall in FCB 103. The boulders struck the buildings as a result of an explo­ sion by Hanson Aggregates, the company that blasts to clear rock for the university, and to gather rocks for construc­ tion. Temporary trailers in the FCB courtyard are replacing the classrooms until construction is complete. Some students and instruc­ tors said they will be glad to leave behind the uncom­ fortable, temporary classrooms’ small windows and poor ven­ tilation systems. “It* will be nice to have a larger classroom with better ventilation control,” said Maureen DuPont, a math instructor. She teaches a math class that has 50 students in one trailer, and many complain about air conditioning problems. Crowding is also an issue. “I can’t even walk down the aisles of the rows of seats in my classroom,” said DuPont. “I would fall if I did.” Facilities Services said they project the construction will be completed in three weeks. “I hope everything is settled and we can be moved in and back to normal by finals,” said DuPont. �Conservationists Concerned about Environmental Effects o f San Elijo Hills By MARY SUE WEBB Pride Staff Writer ‘ an Elijo Hills is the resi­ S dential development on the west­ ern slope of the ridges above CSUSM. Residents also iden­ tify the development with San Elijo Canyon, the creek that cas­ cades through the canyon, and the creek’s destination, San Elijo Lagoon in Cardiff. But the president of a local conservancy group said that the San Elijo Hills development is a threat to those areas. Leonard Wittwer, a molecu­ lar biologist who is president of the Escondido Creek Conservancy and chairman of its Land Use Committee, said he is concerned that water con­ taining herbicides and pesticides from the proposed San Elijo Hills’ golf course could hurt both the creek and the lagoon. “Herbicides and insecticides that they spray on plants, and fertil­ izers they use, would go into the runoff,” said Wittwer. “Nitrogen and some phosphorous will lead to algae blooms in Escondido Creek, and that water flows into San Elijo Lagoon, which already has been impacted by urban runoff” Water from urban areas runs into the creek and gives it year-round water flow. Seasonal .streams run down the Double Peak, the tallest ridge west of CSUSM, and flow into the coast­ al lagoons. The developers are seeking the approval of the city of San Marcos to construct a golf course on top of Double Peak. “If they build the golf course on the ridge, everything that flows down the north side would go into San Marcos Creek (and into Batiquitos Lagoon)” said Larry Osen, a geography teacher at San Marcos High School, stands at the top of Double Peak; San Elijo developers propose to build a golf course below the peak. (Courtesy Photo/Larry Osen) Conflicting Interests over Use of Cerro de Las Posas Ridgeline By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer San Elijo developers applied for a conditional-use permit that would aliow them to build a 160-acre, 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, and related facilities if San Marcos approved the golf course in 2002, on top of the Cerro de Las Posas ridgeline, in addition to the 3,398 homes presently being built in south­ western San Marcos. The 6,800-yard course would begin at Double Peak and extend south­ west to the communication tow­ ers. Developers applied for the permit in November of 2000. This proposal has many San Marcos, Lake San Marcos, and Elfin Forest residents concerned about environmental impacts on wildlife, the destruction of natu­ ral vegetation and popular trails, and pollution from the water runoff that would be used for the upkeep of the fairways and greens. “The trail system is a greater amenity than a golf course could ever be,’r said Larry Osen, of the city trails advisory committee. Since San Elijo Hills devel­ opers submitted an application for the golf course last October, the city has been studying how the golf course would effect wildlife and plants on the ridge­ line, said Curtis Noland, gen­ eral manager of San Elijo Hills developers, as published in the North County Times. City planners originally planned for Double Peak Regional Park to occupy the entire 200 acres, of natural, open space on top of the ridge­ line, but with the proposed golf course, the acreage allowed for the regional park may be reduced to 40 acres. Jerry Backoff, Chief City Planner for San Marcos, could not be reached in time for comment. Osen, who assembled Friends of Cerro de Las Posas, says the group is taking an active approach to prevent the golf course from being built on t6p of the ridgeline. “The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas has engaged in a campaign of awareness, informing San Marcos res­ idents of a San Elijo Hills’ plan to sculpt the ridgeline with a 160-acre professional golf course,” said Osen. ' The Friends attended city council workshops to voice their concerns and ask questions, wrote letters to the editors of local newspapers, distributed fly­ ers, and collected signatures for their petitions. Earlier this year, at the Grand Avenue Summer Festival at GSUSM, the Sierra Club spon­ sored a booth where Osen and three other volunteers promoted awareness of the environmental effects a golf course would cause. “We’re not opposed to a golf course, but we are opposed to the course being built on top of the ridgeline,” said Osen. The Friends collected 250 signatures for their petition, which will be presented to the city council. Wittwer. “Everything else would go into Copper Creek and will end up in Escondido Creek and San Elijo Lagoon.” The developers have said that golf course runoff could be contained in traps. Wittwer said that the nitro­ gen a nd phosphorous wouldn’t evaporate from water held in traps. Besides the water issues, he said there is also an issue of the loss of habitat for animals if a golf course is built. “You also would no longer see the sunset behind the ridge­ line if buildings were there,” said Wittwer. In February, the Escondido Creek Conservancy acquired 76 acres to protect the scenic creek, which flows from Lake Wohlford on the east side 6f Escondido near Valley Center, and through the rural Harmony Grove/Elfin Forest area, into Olivenhein. Escondido Creek then flows under a bridge at the eastern terminus of Encinitas Boulevard and into San Elijo Lagoon. The conservancy hasn’t taken a position for or against the proposed golf course at this time. About 10 years ago, early in the development’s planning stage, however,-the organization opposed the development plans. Those who would like more information on the conservancy are asked to visit their web site at www.escondidocreek.org. A citizen water quality mon­ itoring organization, San Diego Stream Team, separate from the conservancy, also tests and mon­ itors the water quality of local streams. Those who would like information about the team are asked to contact the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board at (858) 467-4387. 2 MILLION INVESTORS. 80 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE. 1 WEIRD NAME.

Jih, who has a closely shaved head, and was dressed in a tra­ ditional brown robe, joked with the students* saying that she was surprised that her look was not fashionable with students at Cal State San Marcos. “I don’t have to spend my time on hairstyles and fashion,” Jih said to the students. “My mind is free and joyful, and I give others happi­ ness.” Jih became a Buddhist nun in 1980, only a few years before most of the GEH students were bom. She was not bom into a Buddhist family; she recalled that her family went to a Taoist temple when she was young. While she attended a university in Taiwan, she became inter­ ested in Buddhism and joined the Buddhist Society. She soon became inspired by Buddhism, and went to the temple and retreats with the society. While Jih was still at the university, Venerable Master Hsing Yun, the founder of the Fo Guang Shan International Venerable Master Yi Jih, a Buddhist nunfrom the San Diego Buddhist Temple, spoke to the students of Dr. Susie CasseVs general education humanities class. (Pride Photo/Stephanie Baird) Buddhist Order, headquartered in Taiwan, lectured at her school. Jih was eager to ask him two questions: When, or at what age, should she join the order? And how could she help her parents accept her decision to become a Buddhist nun? Her parents ended up speak­ ing with Yun, and as she neared her graduation from the univer­ sity, Jih went to a summer retreat where she shaved her head and joined the order. “At first my family felt like they had lost a daughter,” said Jih. But after two years of study­ ing for a degree in Taipei and the five years as the head of a temple, her family followed her into the Buddhist religion. Although she is monastic, she still sees her family members and is not secluded to the temple. They have celebrations at the monastery, and every two years her family is invited to come to her monastery, where they share their stories and participate in activities. Jih said, “The families feel honored [to be a part of the experience}” The’ humanities students asked Jih the responsibilities of Buddhist nuns. Jih explained that they have the opportunity to preach at weddings and funer­ als. It is at the funerals where one realizes that “life is really impermanent,” said Jih. “Once we realize this, we realize how precious it is.” The nuns also have study groups and meditation groups, which she said everyone is wel­ come to attend. Jih, who has been in San Diego since 1993, also translates Chinese into English for Venerable Master Hsing Yun. The temple has programs that it conducts for the community, including an education program, a cultural program, that uses newspapers, magazines and CDs to inform people about Buddhism, a charity program to benefit society, and programs that help orphanages and homes for seniors. A student also asked Jih whether or not she thought the Sept. 11 attacks were the result of bad karma. “Death is not the end of life. We move on to another house. They were innocent. It was not Karma,” said Jih, “It is not just an individual issue, not just ill America or New York. The whole world is concerned and it is a tragedy for all human­ kind.” Jih also commented oft the terrorists: “It was behavior of hate, they didn’t consider the value of life. The best thing we can dp is to try to eliminate hate in others.” San Marcos Faculty Express Grievances at Teach-In » A rtic le cont. fr om pg. 1 background for each speaker. Rossmann explained the intent of the teach-in was to educate and shed light on the complex issues concerning the university, and that it was up to each person to make up their own mind. Before turning the microphone over to the other speakers, Rossman interjected that the univer­ sity community needs to “all work together to ensure quality education.” “The notion that the CSU is being run like a business, like any business that’s in business, is absurd,” said George Diehr, CSUSM professor in the college of business and CFA chapter pres­ ident. Invited to provide logisti­ cal facts behind the bargaining process between faculty and administration, Diehr introduced himself as the “numbers guy.” He distributed a pamphlet of charts to help listeners better uftderstand the complex uni­ versity data, including studentfaculty ratios, faculty salaries, and tenure-track faculty. Diehr warned listeners to beware of politically manipulated statistics. “They (the CSU) said we hired 2,300 tenure line faculty over this period... they didn’t tell you that 2,700 people had left ... people had retired and resigned,” said Diehr. “If the faculty are getting a raw deal and staff are getting an even worse deal, what are the students getting, because you are at the bottom of that order as far as the administration is con­ cerned,” said Charles Goetzl, a representative of the APC (Aca­ demic Professionals of Califor­ nia). Goetzl spoke about how current system trends could affect students in the future. He explained increasing workloads reduce campus morale and are detrimental to the personal rela­ tionships between faculty, staff and students. “I remember the professor sitting down at the coffee shop ... after class ... that is where I learned a lot more than in the classroom,” said Goetzl. “Don’t let people fool you, students come first,” said Tim Jenkins, speaking on behalf of the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the National Educa­ tion Association (NEA). Jenkins said that “CSU staff deserve a raise” and that slashing quality education because of budget issues is “hogwash.” He men­ tioned that the CSU community is forming from a worldwide pool 6f faculty, staff and students and should focus on setting an exam­ ple for higher education. “Be aware of you work envi­ ronment ... be aware of what your rights are and exercise your rights,” said Deborah Corey, a representative from the CSUSM College of Business Adminis­ tration. Corey spoke to address misperceptions of the modernday union. She explained that the educational unions represented at the teach-in are made up of “hard working, caring people” and they are “people who want to serve you, but the resources aren’t there.” Stanley Aronowitz “The problems (of CSU) are also the problems of the City Uni­ versity system of New York, the State University system of New York, and many other public uni­ versities abound the country, but we should not go away from this teach-in believing that the prob­ lem is confined to education ... we have a problem in America in terms of what we think our pri­ orities are,” said Aronowitz. Aronowitz said that as the needs of society change, the uni­ versities need to support the changes and that “today a highschool education is just a begin­ ning.” With the current trends in budget cuts and administration decisions, public universities are increasingly pressured to look to the private sector for funding, explained Aronowitz. This under­ mines the freedom of public uni­ versities in what Aronowitz calls “the corporatization of higher education,” which adds to the ability of corporations to manipu­ late the priorities behind research and curriculum funded by the universities. “The private sector does not give money entirely out of the purity of their heart. They want our education to be geared to their job needs. They want our research to be geared to their product development,” said Aronowitz. He concluded by emphasiz­ ing that the system will only work in unity and that the students and faculty need to focus on “under­ standing each other better.” Classifieds W ant to reach all CSUSM stu d en ts?

There is a problem in our society, and there is a cause for alarm, and the lyricists that make up The Cross Movement have an answer for the problem. “The Light o f Christ is a blazin' one There's a fight to live right, and it's major Son B ut the grace has come so we praise the Son A nd celebrate Him ‘ cause we know what He saved us from'' Those words describe what I’m all about to a “t”. The album is definitely on point and bangin’. The Cross Movement has, once again, put out another hiphop masterpiece. The album, just as the two before it, is filled to the brim with intense, thoughtful lyrics, bold passion, and righteous fury as the entire crew Cross Movement’ new album, ‘Human Emergency, ”shows s hooks up for the sole purpose of spittin’ the uiicensored, another side of hip hop. (Courtesy Photo/crossmovement.com) unadulterated word of God. The Cross Movement, which includes MCs Tonic, that scream “single ” and demand a spot on the radio Earthquake, The Ambassador, Enoch, and The Phanatik, airwaves. Tracks, like the southern influenced “Know Me”, unite on this third album to deliver refined skills, eloquent flows, and a shamelessly holy message that talk a lot about what the secular rappers (who yap out the side of their necks about how much they love God, will shake up even the most devout non-believer. The styles on this album range from the Spanish when in reality their lifestyles speak otherwise) don’t. sounds of “Live Agua”, to the floor thumpin’ east coast The Cross Movement is different. “You got more dough than a pizza shop, showing all project anthem “Who wants battle”. “The Light (The them gold teeth ya got, you keep a glock in the front seat Blazin’ One)” starts things off with The Ambassador and Truth taking turns spitting aggressive verses over of the jeep ya got, and you keep it locked, ... you won’t a bouncy drum track, laced with string stabs and riffs go to church till ya Easter shop, new suit and shoes and the Easter top, people stop to say “yo he’s she shot!” But God says no he’s not! ...” There are a number of reasons why this gospel hip-hop album by The Cross Movement is so much more important and impressively different than any of that other crap we are forced to listen to on the radio or on MTV. 1. This album features many different MCs, not just one. Diversity on the album makes for a beautiful sound. I can’t lie though; the Ambassador is still the tightest MC on there. 2. The production, compared to the top-selling secular acts, is top-notch. This album is way ahead of the competition in any genre of hip-hop and rap, as far as I’m concerned. 3. The message on this no-nonsense type of album is heard loud and clear, no tongue in cheek, no apology, no compromise, no sell-out. 4. The styles of music vary on this album. While this can often take away from an album, this one works. 5. The message on this album is like no other in hiphop. There is absolutely no talk of the very things that unfortunately dominate the airwaves of today, which are drugs, women, money, and cars. Instead of talking about all the problems in the world and glamorizing them like many other MCs do, The Cross Movement offers an answer and solution. Now that’s something our youth needs to hear. “Human Emergency,” by The Cross Movement, is out in stores; and you may also purchase it online at www.crossmovement.com excluding textbooks, computer hardware, Microsoft rentals, gift certificates and special orders, j —^ —- I I , 01 i a a a i i ! U N IVER SITY STORE �The Pride Opinion ' ~~TF Letter to the Editor: Student Poetry Battle of the Sexes By Ali Ahmed Khan for The Pride Dear Editors: My disgust with the section of The Pride called “The Battle of the Sexes” has driven me to write to you in hopes that change will occur. The Pride is not the largest of student newspapers, obvious­ ly, but usually it does offer some good insight as to what is going on on campus. I can appreciate its lack of length, because after all, at the moment the campus is a “postage stamp” campus. What I cannot appreciate is the section called “The Battle of the Sexes” or what I like to call the “The Garbage” section. Here at CSUSM we pride ourselves in being at the fore­ front of thought and technology. Our campus is but 10 years old, but we put pride on the fact that we are a liberal campus. It has been my experience that we are very open to ideas from all different disciplines, including feminism. I believe that this is in hopes to show students that all disciplines have value in our world. It seems that CSUSM is try­ ing to make a difference in the thoughts and attitudes of its stu­ dents by offering opportunities to study within different disci­ plines. For this reason, a section like this can only be welcomed with an emotion such as dis­ gust. There is an obvious need for change in attitude toward the social structure that is in place right now, and this is the genera­ tion that will be able to break down the walls. That being said* I cannot believe that a section that is as silly as “The Battle of the Sexes” can even be printed. Not only does it seem like a section that screams, “Hooray! We are out of high school now we can talk about sex, so let’s do it in the school newspaper” but it seems to offend all those (that I have spoken to anyway) that read it. The section perpetuates every social stigma that we, as a campus, are trying to change. It begs to keep women and men in their respective places. To make a section in which two people are “arguing” about something having to do with relationships, but taking very sexist stances, on both parts, accomplishes nothing except for Student Poll Would you ever plagarize? maybe a few chuckles (not for being funny or true, rather for being absurd) from those that read it. If that is the intention of this section theh WELL DONE ! This section has managed to represent the male as a chauvin­ istic pig, and the female as a loud mouth ... two stereotypical descriptions of male and female roles that have been intact since the days of I Love Lucy. I feel that I, as a member of the aca­ demic community, deserve bet­ ter. The attitudes that are expressed by these “sex battlers” are neither held nor agreed with by those with whom I have dis­ cussed this section. This kind of stereotypical garbage keeps resistance for change strong. It is keeping Pre World War I ideals intact when we are on the verge of World War III. This space of the newspaper would be better used for kin­ dling to start a fire than to read; the only problem with that idea is that then we would be burning another, more valuable, part of our already tiny newspaper.

Ludwig for The Pride Populations increase. Throughout human history the global population has increased. Exponentially. Animal populations increase exponentially, until they are bounded by food supply, preda­ tors, or disease. There is no rea­ son to believe that humans are any different. If there is a drought that reduces the food supply, the population dependent on it will die. Death is the inevitable reality of life, and it is wrong to think that this can be changed. We know that it is wrong to keep populations of animals arti­ ficially above the ability for their habitat to support them, because it makes them permanently depen­ dant on handouts from people, and any reduction in the handouts will kill some of them. For exam­ ple, if tourists feed squirrels in a park, the squirrels will eat the food available in the park as well as. the handouts. This increase in food supply will allow the squirrel population to increase beyond the carrying capacity of the park. As a result, any reduction in food from the natural supply, or the handouts from people, will result in the starvation of squirrels. The net result is that the feeding of squirrels has the potential to starve far more than would otherwise, given the inevitable fluctuations in natural food supply. The realities are exactly the same when it comes to humans. For as much as we like to think that we are different than squir­ rels or any other animals, we are not. We eat, and if we do not, we will starve. We reproduce, and increase our numbers as we have throughout history, and there is no reason to believe we will magical­ ly archive global zero-population growth without being constrained by food supply. For as tragic as it for there to be starving people, it only makes the problem worse to send food aid to foreign countries. The “humani­ tarian” aid is decidedly un-humanitarian, for it allows populations to not only continue to exceed their natural limits, but also continue to grow. This continued growth only multiplies the damage that will be done by the next drought, or the termination of “humanitarian” aid. It simply is not realistic to believe that the countries sending aid can forever send increasing amounts of food to support grow­ ing populations. The “humanitar­ ian” aid will end at some point. The policies or economics, or even the food supply of the countries sending the aid will change, as things always change, and that change will someday be a reduc­ tion in “humanitarian” aid for a population that has become depen? dent on it. People will die and starve in greater numbers than would have been possible without the “humanitarian” aid. Considering that populations always increase to match the food supply, the only way to justify long-term “humanitarian” aid is to believe that the eventual starvation of people is good, and enabling it is moral. It would be nice to end world hunger; however, it simply is not possible, at least in the long term, and it is not right to save one life today at the cost of several in the future. Long term “humanitarian” aid is wrong and will kill people. �T he Pride Food Terrace Buffet Style Is a Knock Out By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Indian gaming casinos have spread faster than wildfire across San Diego County/ Several of the casinos market their “buffet” as the best in the county in hopes of drawing crowds. I decided to take the Terrace Buffet, inside Pala Casino, up on its offer. The fact that there wasn’t a line for the buffet on a Saturday afternoon was surprising. The buffet resembled an upside down “U”. Chinese selections loomed bn the left side; traditional Amer­ ican and colorful Italian food caught my eye on the right, and seafood, salad, and soup flowed from the middle. When I eat at a buffet, I always begin “Round 1” with the salad bar. I filled my plate with cabbage and iceberg lettuce. Clumsily; I knocked the lettuceloaded tongs on the side of my plate, causing leaves of lettuce to fall between the selections of food on the buffet table. Immediately, an employee, armed with a towel, appeared from behind the counter and swept up the tainted lettuce. I topped my salad with sliced red onions, severed cucumbers, and quarter-sized croutons. “Round 2” consisted of Chinese and seafood. I chose two seafood selec­ tions^ shrimp scampi and crab salad. I also included three Chinese choices: orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and fried rice. The shrimp required messy peeling, which meant I had to get my fingers dirty. I didn’t mind working for my food. The shrimp tasted soft, as it should. After my first bite of crab salad, the rest crawled uncontrollably into my mouth until it disappeared. The beef and broccoli resembled play food, shiny and plastic coated. But the entree tasted better than it looked. Each bite released a stream of warm flavor that trickled down my throat. I mixed the orange chicken with the fried rice; the combi­ nation formed an inviting orange glow. Time for “Round 3.” I loaded my plate with American and Italian food and filled my soup dish to the brim with turkey soup. Placed in front of me, my combination plate looked more like a col­ lage than edible food. The tender rotisserie chicken fell off the breastbone and tasted soft, but disappointingly bland. The turkey tasted moist and smoked-flavored. The veal didn’t disappoint, and the mashed potatoes stood alone without the assistance of gravy. The judges’ score­ cards had “Round 3” going to the Terrace Buffet, until the turkey soup buckled at the knees. If I had taken a bite of card­ board floating in warm water, I couldn’t have told the two apart. I ran to the des­ sert bar to extinguish the foul taste in my . mouth. I grabbed the first plate within arm’s length. I discovered delightful, colorful, sweet green apple slices cov­ ered in cinnamon. This dish relieved the aftertaste of cardboard from my mouth. The Terrace Buffet is located at the Pala Casino, located on 11154 High­ way SR 76 in Pala, CA. New Store Opening in San Marcos!

A busy schedule forces most students to.eat at fast food restau­ rants or nuke noodles in the microwave. Stop. You can prepare a hearty meal in 20 minutes with the following recipe. You will need the following: A large pot o f boiling water One pound o f linguini either dry or fresh 6 tablespoons o f olive oil 3 cloves o f garlic 2 tablespoons o f flour 1 cup o f whole baby clams — use canned clams and reserve liquid I f An 8-ounce bottle o f clam m juice 8 ounces o f sliced mushrooms—optional 1 teaspoon o f diced pimento—optional 2-3 tablespoons o f fresh minced parsley A pinch o f oregano—optional Salt to taste One loaf o f French bread Parmesan cheese Directions for preparing the sauce: Put enough water in a large pot to boil one pound of linguini and set it to boil. Prepare the clam sauce while the water heats to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan, and add minced or pressed garlic cloves to the oil. Gently fry the garlic in the oil until it becomes slightly browned. The garlic will become sticky so keep stirring. Remove the oil and garlic from the heat and sprinkle this mixture with flour, stirring it constantly until the oil makes a paste without lumps. Only use enough flour to make a thick paste, and add it slowly, not all at once. * Return the paste to the saucepan, and continue heating the paste. Whip and stir constantly, and add all the clam juices, the 8-ounce bottle and the reserve liquid. Heat the pdn until the sauce boils. At this point the sauce will begin thicken­ ing. When the sauce thickens, reduce the heat and add mushrooms, pimento, and oregano. Let the pan simmer, and keep it covered until the mushrooms are cooked about five minutes, and stir occa­ sionally. Directions for pre­ paring the pasta: By now, the water for the pasta should be boiling, so start cooking the pasta. Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta. Now add clams and simmer for about two minutes. The clams will become tough if they are overcooked. Add pars­ ley, Stir in the parsley and remove the saucepan from the heat and cover the pan. When the pasta is cooked to the “al dente” stage, drain the pasta and sprin­ kle it with a little olive oil. Serve the clam sauce over the pasta, salt to taste, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Use plenty of French bread to sop up the sauce. m & n q a V ju u f S to n e a Saturday, November 3 ,9am. to 3pm 320 South Twin Oaks Valley Road in San Marcos Great Student Airfares available with your ISfC or IYTC Amsterdam Brussels London Paris Milan Frankfurt 424 382 312 335 376 418 Thursday, November 1,2001 4:00 - 7:00 pm California Center for the Arts, Escondido Meet with over 90 employers with part time and full time job opportunities!

X I N 0.5 v CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7. By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Ever since voters decided to hold California's first ever recall election everyone has been talking, debating, predicting and being entertained by all the media chatter. The whole nation was watching. Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as Governor? Or would voters choose one of the 135 candidates running against him? Now the election is over, when the official results are announced, Davis will hand the reigns of the state over to Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, election buzz is dying down and CSUSM students hope that Gov. Schwarzenegger will do right by them. "I really hope that he does well, not because I like the guy, but because I'd like to see the conditions in California improve," said James Nguyen, a third year political science and economics major. Nguyen was against the recall and did not support Schwarzenegger as a candidate. " I hope things will change, I hope .. ... Am^ „ — schools get funding and that they don't cut classes because education is important." said Angela Morgan a business major who voted for Schwarzenegger. CSUSM students had differing reactions to the results of the r^irjSBf!^' m election. Some students are confident that voters have made the right decision in voting for Schwarzenegger. "I think he's well qualified to govern. I think he can step up and battle the issues, he has the charisma, he is forceful and able to do what he wants." said student Mike Markarian. "I'm glad he won because California is so f ar to the left any movement towards the right is a positive" saidMandy Schatzinger, a communications major in her junior year. "I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed but he's what California needs."

FEATim mmm Urges Change, Budget Management By JONATHAN RODLEY Editor in Cheif While budget cuts gouge the California State University (CSU) system, students and teachers are on the lookout to make sure their needs are met. Classroom instruction, class size, and funding are now protected by provisions made by the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CFA created a document in July 2003 to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e assigned at campus facilities. Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU chancellor sent the document to campus |$ administrators before the fall semester started. If need be, the chancellor said he would investigate and correct administrators that didn't follow the guidelines. At CSUSM some teachers think that administration isn't doing enough. "They George Diehr really haven't come to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA. The CFA's document, called the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by the legislative budget committees and promotes cooperation between the CFA and the CSU. See B UDGET M ANAGEMENT, p age 2 Clubs Hindered By Copy Right Laws By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter Various clubs show documentaries on campus in order to attract and inform students of issues that they represent, however, because of Copy Right Laws and budget cuts these film showings have been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the livelihood of these organizations on campus. "It cost an estimated $400 to buy public ownership of a given film. The question becomes which clubs will receive money, and how much?" said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs. Because of the cost of distribution rights and Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet shown a film this semester.

Due t o t he e ffects of California's budget crisis, there is a continual impact on student involvement at Cai State San Marcos. With t he large cut backs to California State Universities, there is not enough money to p ay for the distribution f ights of these films. Pollard added that SRL can only supply a limited amount of money t o f und these films. Erik Roper, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) vice president and external vice president f or the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), mentioned t hree ways t o get approval of a film's copy rights. Roper said, " SRL told u s that we can do one of t hree things: —Pay each company the $400 t o show a movie; —Get a letter of approval f rom each company; —Have professors list films as p art of their syllabi. Poullard, however, says t he films would (legally) only b e made available t o the students of Budget Management continuedfrompage 1 "It puts primacy on education and requires administration t o report on these issues," Diehr said. The SRL gives priority t o the needs of classroom instruction while requiring reduction in administrative costs. I n California, the general f und f or the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the 2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU website. " There's going t o have t o b e t rimming," said Interim President Roy McTarnaghan. " The needs of student courses are our number one priority - getting t hem t o graduate on £ime is number one." McTarnaghan said that despite limitations on enrollment, CSUSM has more students and less money. "None of u s are thrilled the states e cono my is in t he situation i t's in, but we're all working e ffectively. «ür=F . P said.e h r McTarnaghan Di however, reckoned the e ffects of budget cuts and t hinks changes need to b e made in handling the budget. The CFA urges s taff and students to monitor their campus to ensure that the CSU complies with t he SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on how to monitor budget compliance at the CFA website. At CSUSM, among other things, the budget forced student f ee increases, class size increases, and also p art time lecturers were laid o ff. The CFA is very concerned about the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said. "Many of these teachers need to pay the rent and pay for food." Although t he budget h as had numerous impacts on students and s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts made by administration. "We're pleased with some steps, but we believe much more needs t o b e done," Diehr said. Diehr is also a professor of management science f or t he college of business administration. He said he sees t he potential f or improvement in how the college of business manages their estimated expenses. He said that officers those classes, not t o t he entire campus." These measures will cost students ample time, energy and money. Roper said that Swank Motion Pictures sells distribution rights of movies t o various institutions and colleges f or a m inimal cost. Roper and others would like t o see Cal State San Marcos get an institution p ass with Swank t o show films at a reduced price. Poullard agrees that there m ay b e a better solution that will help t o eliminate the tedious phone calls, large bake sells and car "have not touched the administrative p art of the budget." Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for the college o f business administration said, " It's premature t o draw that conclusion at this point. We have j ust received our fall 2003 budget so no prior decisions have been made." The SRL states that prior t o reducing classes, student services and library f unding, colleges must reduce administrative costs. " The college of business is sticking t o the supplemental language report to the best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said. She added that the college of business may or may not b e representative of other colleges. At this point however, Diehr said that there is "need f or real substantial changes." H e said that administration I R HRBVl • HB K k I f* it If i H II h asn't realized t he severity of the cuts and that t he s tructure and size of management must b e changed. " San Marcos h as t oo many mid level m anagers," D iehr said. " They're still t rying to m ake changes at t he margin -- increasing class sizes and terminating lectures." Diehr also said t he foundation could b e doing more f undraising t o address the budget crisis. Another goal of the SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help lessen t he impact of budget reductions. Diehr said that the foundation should be borrowing f unds and looking for more people to donate to CSUSM. " There is no magic bullet for this budget situation and we can expect increasing costs if not more budget cuts," Diehr said. "This is not going to be over at the end of this academic year." ^ f ^ ^ v ppyp|||||r ^ M j p p i j¡¡¡S| •• • ito b - washes.

Notorious for dripping noses and aching sinuses, it i s again that time of year. Fortunately for the students of Cal State San Marcos, student tuition pays for f ree health services j ust down the road.

Such f ree able. services includefluvaccinations. One very simple way to avoid any and all Encyclopedia.com characterizes the fluickness this winter is to stop by Student s SCHWARZENEGGER Health Services, and have them administer a f reefluvaccination. A vaccination works by injecting a healthy subject with antigens, who in response develop antibodies to battle the foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous version of the antigen, the pathogen itself. Usually vaccinations are constructed to take care of A or B strains of the sickness. But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year. To contact the Student Health Services, please call (760) 750-4915.

Nguyen said, "Arnold lacks political experience.. .his moderate politics made him electable. I expect Arnold to be asking for a lot of consultation because he has no idea what he's getting himself into." Another student, Erin Sullivan said about Schwarzenegger, "I don't know if I can take him seriously because he's an actor, we'll see what kind of committee he comes up with." Student's concerns regarding budget cuts and rising tuition costs are not yet being directly handled by the governor. Although the eighth step of Gov. Schwarzenegger's "100 Day Agenda" listed on his website www.joinarnold.com is to "Streamline the bureaucracy and send more money to the classroom." there is no way to know exactly how the governor will address funding issues facing the California State University system. The Young Voters for Arnold website, www.arnold4gov.comdoes does contain a quote f rom the new governor regarding this situation, he says, "There is currently a leadership vacuum in Sacramento. With college tuition fees skyrocketing and classes being cut, young voters are paying the price for career politicians' mistakes. I intend to change all that."

Ultimately, the problem lies within our 3 environment, which for the majority of the | students here is non-conducive in encouraging interpersonal relationships. Besides those of us living in the dorms or involved ""¿Jzh j f ^ m ^ ^ | | p in the Greek system on campus, there are ^ few, if any, resources for meeting new people and developing lasting friendships. v wN ' ^ M /^spmt In an effort to promote campus life, the ByDIDILUND programming board put on a speed dating Pride StafifWriter event last Tuesday. Unfortunately, the turnout was poor and the students who did Like so many other young females show their faces were the same ones you before me, I discovered the complete lack see at every on-campus event. of campus life at Cal State San Marcos These students acknowledge the lack of during my first semester here. a social scene on campus. They see this That was after the first several men I not as a problem with the atmosphere here approached told me about the significance at Cal State, but rather within the student body. "I look out and see people sitting in their cars during breaks on campus and that is ridiculous... This is a time to meet people and make lifelong friends; this isn't accomplished by removing yourself f rom the campus community" said Brett Gladys, student coordinator of the Programming Board. Gladys mentioned that it is essential to build a community on campus, but that students r efuse to involve themselves in the activities and programs here. Besides a lack of activities on campus, women have noticed that many of the single men here are unapproachable. Men on this campus often objectify women and go for those who are pretty, shallow, and generally subtract f rom the bank of human knowledge when they speak. This dynamic of male personality influences women to act the part of the easy superficial girl in order to get the guys. It's a never-ending circle with the result being that the singles here develop shallow relationships with equally shallow partners. Many singles on campus worry about pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be concerned about is constructing a campus community and opening ourselves up to meet new people. Our goal should be creating a sense of belonging here at Cal State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing in attendance, the speed dating event did o ffer a solution to the crisis. Through more activities that promote relationships we will have life on this campus. Through more effort from the students we can create a campus spirit which encourages interaction. As Gladys said, "be the spirit you wish to see on campus."

On his way to class, he met up with his friend Mike Flores and they walked together to their psychology class. When asked about the class he said "It's cool and it's easy for me and it's fascinating sometimes because it opens up my mind to new i deas" A fter that, he met up with new friends and went on to his calculus class, where his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep in the last week," he said. Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken quesadillas, worked on homework with his friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked to his last class of the day with his friend Mike, turned in his homework and went to the ASI Homecoming celebration outside. He saw his academic advisor and went back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie slept for twenty minutes and went to work. Ronnie works at a convenience store on campus. At work, he danced to the music in the store and made his fellow Have you ever been sitting next to people in class and stopped to wonder about their lives? Who are they? Do they share the same interests as you? What is college like for them? For the next few issues, I plan on interviewing random students here at CSUSM and asking them those very same questions. You will get a chance to see what a normal day is like for other college students and how they cope with their .own home and college lives. Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old freshman here at CSUSM and one of the pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has many hobbies, including snowboarding, wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart racing. One of his favorite hobbies is making new friends. "I love to talk," he explained to me, " I used to be really shy, but I 'm not as shy right now, because I don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still shy around girls at first." It was Monday night and Ronnie had agreed to his interview in my dorm room on the floor below his. Already an acquaintance of my roommates Erin and Ashley, he and his own roommates were on their way down to hang out with them. With a room f ull of noisy roommates, we agreed to grab some chairs, and sit on the f ar side of the kitchen, a little out of the range of noise. I asked him about his day and this is how he began. Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday morning and was really tired. He stayed up late with other dorm residents and was finding it very difficult to wake up. He had been up since 1 a.m. dancing with his roommates and friends. Ronnie talked about it: "I was hyper and really in a dancing mood because I 'm excited about the (Masquerade Ball). We started listening to music and two girls came over, so I started dancing and they were dancing and everyone was laughing because we were moving to the beat and I started dancing with them. "A couple of my favorite dance songs came up and we had a contest about who could dance the smuttiest. Michael Jackson came on and I started doing my Michael Jackson impression and we ended up getting three noise complaints. J uris D octor "We stopped playing the music so loud, but we began running around because we were all on a triple dose of coffee. A fter that JD/PhD - History or Political S cience we settled down and watched L IM - Trial A dvocacy "The Recruit". Around 1 p.m. I MZlfllM - Comparative Law went to bed and everyone left." Still recovering f rom that night's events, awake, but not ready to get out of bed a fter seven-and-a-half hours of sleep, Ivomjie wciit back vo bed and Criminal J ustice slept fifteen minutes longer. Intellectual Property/Telecommunications Law He took a shower and picked International Law out his outfit for the day. "I was Labor and Employment Law going to wear a collard shirt, but chose a t-shirt i nstead" he said. He went on to explain MISSION-FOCUSED CENTERS that he likes his collard shirts, but they're not as comfortable as his t-shirts and when he's tired, he feels more relaxed in a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed a Gatorade and a nutra-grain employees laugh. A fter work, he went to Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and bought plants and appliances to decorate the float that was being designed for the Dorms. He worked on homework and then came to my dorm to visit my roommates, where he began his interview with me. A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like I was in a whirlwind. "You did all that in one day?" I asked him. " Yes" he answered, "and I have two papers due tomorrow for class!" He looked at the clock in our kitchen. "It's 10:15 and I still have to write them," he said. I asked him if he would be starting on them soon. "Maybe" he answered. Lai state ban Marcos student, Ronnie Swaim, is constantly busy with homework and social life in his freshman year. CALIFORNIA WESTERN : Hi Bit If IIW S N DIGO A A 8A 1982 A AtS 1867 WWWX9lifornisWest0rn.edu �Hail To The OMBUDSMAN By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman One of the interesting aspects of the position of Ombudsman is that I am not required to necessarily agree with what our paper is doing. As such, I am not terribly distraught over our content or the direction our paper is heading; rather, there are minor problems that we overcome weekly and improve with each issue. One such problem I see is the manner in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The Pride each week. Therefore, I will be including the corrections at the end of my column from now on. The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the editors' observations and f rom reader inquiry. From the onset of the paper's distribution this semester, I am aware of two corrections that were overlooked last week that will be included this week. As always, I would like to encourage everybody to keep reading The Pride and sending me your feedback. Also, take The Pride home with you and share it with friends and family so they can get a sense of what is happening at your school. A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of the campus as a whole then The Pride should be an accurate reflection of the campus worthy enough to share.

In this issue, in the caption accompanying the photograph with the article "Coffee Hour," the country of Colombia was misspelled Columbia. The Pride apologizes for the spelling error. Vol. XINo.4. On the front page and on page two in the article "Meet the Dean, Or Not," Vicki Golich is incorrectly identified as the dean of students. Jonathan Poullard holds that position. Ms. Golich's position is interim dean of the college of arts and sciences. Note to the Editor By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWiiier I believe that it was stupid for the powers that be to increase the student fees. That is a very direct statement and may seem harsh, but I feel there is no other way to state it. Other people and I registered in late June for this fall of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped due to a sudden student fee increase. They could have warned all the students about what they were going to do by sending out e-mails. My friend received a little card in the mail stating the financial change and said "I barely noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I was able to re-register for classes. By Chris Martin CSUSM Student As the writer of the article in question, 78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm" and a current student at CSUSM, I feel it pertinent to inform readers that the so-called "opposition" to the article, or rather the violators of our civil rights, failed to confront 78 magazine directly about their apparent concerns pertaining to the magazine's content and still remain anonymous. The premier issue of 78 was summarily rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the circular file for what could be construed as a protest to my evident lack of morality. This act strengthens our view point that we must all be vigilant if we are to maintain our civil rights on our college campuses. To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health Services I ask - what article were you reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the majority of University students to drink and have sex. Having a drink with a member of the opposite sex to blow off steam and possibly engage in an act of protected consensual sex is quite different f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls (which) could lead to sexual assault." Contrary to your opinion, the message of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the following. Here are some stereotypes, lets laugh at them, and by the way, if you're going to have sex, be responsible. This was primarily a humor piece with a few crassly presented common sense pointers. For those of you who recognized it as such, congratulations. [mu.cmmwki cmm- Furthermore I find it offensive that you assume our student body is incapable of making rational decisions regarding their sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks will lead educated adults to commit sexual assaults. Your objections make sense only if we blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of irony and take items out of context. Those trained to read critically can clearly see that the article was carefully constructed to address both genders. Any perceived "gender biases" are a result of careless reading and the injection of the readers' own preconceptions. I suggest you read the article again - this time analytically. 78 is alternative media - meaning we don't have to be for everyone. It also means we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and open exchanges of ideas regardless of their popularity - The freedom to have a voice, to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust people's competency to make up their own minds based on all the arguments. Deciding what information others can access is best left to fascist regimes. To produce media in any other manner would be considered a journalistic travesty not only by the publication I represent but by me as well. Finally, though we disagree, I want to thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and offering her opinion publicly and I hope more people will lend their voices to the forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are here for. �THE PRIDE A&E May I Take Your Order? By JOHNP. SCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Where do we go to eat? Whether out on that first date, hanging out with friends, or that special occasion, it's a question that plagues us all. It is a question that begs an answer. I took upon myself to find one. I picked what I thought were the best restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic categories: 1) a place to go with friends to socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3) the five-star anniversary special. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that allows for your underage friends to sit with you, you'd probably choose a place like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the hassle of another long commute but, luck is just around the corner. There is a place that serves alcohol, but still allows for your underage friends to sit with you. They have great meals and delicious finger foods. The social setting will allow for you to get a little loud without offending other patrons. Drum rollplease. The answer to all your problems is the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They have a whole selection of home brewed, non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All less than two minutes from the dorms! They have the typical finger foods like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken fingers, but also some more interesting items such as calamari stripsr and a sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be American, but there are a few things that stand out as being different like the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The prices are comparable to TGIF, with an average amount of $7 to $9 a plate. If you ever find yourself hungry while sitting around and watching television head over to San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They even have a take out menu. You can contact the brewery at (760) 471- 0050. If you're looking for a place to go on the ever important first date, look no f urther than The Old California Mining Company. They nicely blend sheik with affordability, which is great considering you'll need to purchase a parking pass next semester. The décor is reminiscent of an Old Mine. The inside consists chiefly of mining paraphernalia with wooden beams, mining carts, lanterns and shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough for you to talk. There are enough conversation pieces on the wall to help when there's nothing left to say. Just think; where else could you say things like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look at that lantern. By the way, can Î light your way home?" There is a really good selection of steaks. The food, aptly put is American. If you decide against the consumption of meat there is a selection of salads and pastas. The servings are not too big. The Old California Mining Company is a great place for a first date. It's not too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty darn good food at a price that will still let you pay for your books. You also have the option of ordering your food for take-out. Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row. Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star restaurants in San Marcos. However, there is one located in Old Town off Interstate 5 south, just before you get downtown. It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip especially when celebrating an anniversary or the like. The restaurant in question is called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I have taken many friends there to prove my point and have yet to take one that disagreed with me once they'd finished their meal. The International Wine & Food Society, La Jolla Chapter (of which I am Tuesday, October 1 4,2003 7 RestaumntRow a member) awarded it their blue ribbon in your parents to pay for parking and books. 1998, which is no small achievement.

The sauces, which make or break special someone or a place to celebrate any five-star meal, are incredible in their variety and depth of flavor. Thè food is strictly Mexican. Some of the dishes have a unique twist imparted by the chef. For example, the filet mignon is smothered in a traditional peanut sauce and filled with goat cheese. It is a sort of Mexico meets the 21st century steak. It is extremely delicious. This restaurant lacks one of equal comparison. So for that big anniversary, show your loved one that you care.

Constanza’s experience in “public and professional life have made her one of the most recognized,’ and often controversial, women in America,” said Becky Martinez, committee leader for the pro­ gram. She spoke of her expe­ rience and dedication to public service and human rights issues. Following the keynote speaker was a series of workshops with titles like ‘Life After High School,’ ‘Career Decisions Count,’ and ‘Mentoring.’ This portion of the conference was geared toward college women and high-school students ‘Life After High School’ addressed the options for highschool students after gradua­ tion. The lecture was followed by a brief discussion of what college has to offer. This work­ shop addressed the many unwav­ ering questions young women may experience due to the tran­ sition from childhood to wom­ anhood. By providing a circle of college women and students, they discussed the ins and outs of college and the preparation involved. ‘Career Decisions Count’ focused primarily on college women. This workshop housed the discussion based on the deci­ sions college students face upon graduation. To combat these uncertain­ tie s the participants were asked to assess their options to appro­ priately move forward as well as how to detect a choice that can be paralyzing to one’s career. » > A rticle cont. on pg. 3 California Primary Election’s Results By MARTHA SARABIA News Editor California’s primary closed elections took place last Tuesday. Although the latest results, listed March 9. on the Secretary of State web page are not yet offi­ cial, some of the results of the state and local propositions are clear enough to predict if they are passed. The final results are being held up by some 12,000 absentee/provisional county bal­ lots yet to be counted. Results: Proposition 40 The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 passed with 56.9 percent of the votes. The pro­ tection act allows the state to sell $2.6 billion in bonds for natural resources conservation, state and local park acquisition and improvement, and historical and cultural resources preserva­ tion purposes. Proposition 41 The Voting Modernization Act passed with 51.7 percent of the votes and authorizes the state to sell $200 million in bonds to assist counties with the purchase of new voting systems. The new systems will replace the punch card, or chad systems, used in elections throughout the state. Proposition 42 The Transportation Conges­ tion Improvement Act, et. al, passed with 69 percent of the votes. The act requires that gas­ oline sales tax revenues be used annually for state and local trans­ portation purposes beginning in 2003-2004. It also allows the leg­ islature to suspend or modify the percentage allocation of the rev­ enues with a two-thirds vote. Proposition 43 The Right to Have Vote Counted passed with a strong 71.5 percent of the votes. This requires that the State Constitu­ tion be amended to affirm the right of the voter to have her/his vote counted. It allows the coun­ ties to ask the courts for a dead­ line extension to have.more time to count votes. Proposition 44 The Chiropractors Unprofes­ sional Conduct passed with 79.6 percent of the votes. The new law requires the Board of Chi­ ropractors Examiners to revoke a chiropractor’s license for a period of 10 years if He or she is convicted of various crim­ inal offenses, including insur­ ance fraud, and will allow an investigation of any licensed •2-3 •4-5 .... .......7 Vol. XNo. 6 /Tuesday, March 12,2002 D ecision s Count: W o m e n ’s L e a d e rsh ip C on feren ce ByAMYBOLASKI Graduate Intern The California Faculty Association (CFA) and the CSU administration reached a ten­ tative agreement 6n Sunday, March 2, an agreement that the CFA Bargaining Team, chap­ ter presidents and board rec­ ommended for ratification by the membership after nearly a year of negotiation. The membership vote, is scheduled, on all 23 CSU campuses, for March 22. CFA Chapter Pres­ ident George Diehr said, “I think the CFA negotiated a very good agreement with the CSU administration. By Using a cre­ ative approach, the CFA was able to get agreement for a gen­ eral salary increase - the CSU faculty will see paychecks at least four percent higher .than their March 30 check.” Not only will faculty see paycheck increases relatively soon, adjunct faculty, or lec­ turers, with six of more years of service will be awarded three-year contracts, renewable barring any “serious conduct problems” Diehr said. This is a huge gain for adjunct faculty according to both Diehr and CFA Lecturer Representative Madeleine Marshall. The nego­ tiation promises greater job security to those previously awarded contracts only on a semester to semester or yearly basis. Marshall said, “I am very pleased that the vital place of lecturers is acknowledged. We are very good, very dedi­ cated members of the academic community . . . We deserved health benefits and reasonable job security.” “The lecturers are going to see some very nice improve­ m ent in job security,” said Dielir. The CFA, the exclusive collective bargaining represen­ tative for CSU faculty, has long been in negotiation with the CSU system for salary increases, compensation com­ mensurate with the salaries of faculty at comparable institu­ tions, better benefits, greater job security (especially for lec­ turers) and affordable, quhlity education in the CSU system. The CFA represents tenuretrack faculty, lecturers, librari­ ans and counselors. The current CFA-CSU administration con-* tract began July 1, 1998, and technically ended June 30,2001. » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 News. Arts... Food..

The current term law that limits the members of the Assembly to three*two-year terms and state senators to two four-year terms was not modified, The only difference between votes countywide and statewide was Proposition 41. It was not passed in San Diego County, in which 50.3 percent of voters were against the proposition. Proposition A Make Treasurer/Tax Collec­ tor an Appointive Office was not passed. The proposition received a resounding 78.8 percent of votes against. These results, posted in the county Registrar of Voters, leave the current treasurer/tax collector position as an elected position, which gives voters the right to vote for whomever they want instead of giving the power of appointment to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. This is unofficial informal tion, updated on Thursday on the San Diego County Registrar of Voters website. Ralph’s Center a Nearing Completion The Ralph*s Center Under Construction Pride Photo/James Newell By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer With the skeleton of yet another building finished, the Campus Marketplace, or the Ralph’s Center, is one step closer to completion. Ralph’s Center is growing as quickly as Cal State San Marcos. “This center is in a prime location, right next to the freeway and the campus [CSUSM]. It’s bound to be successful,” said Edward Pejora, construction manager of the site. As of today there are 24 shops in the center, and accord­ ing to Stephanie Perry, mar­ keting manager o f Regency Centers, “There are no mofe [shops] in the making.” Four­ teen of the 24 shops are occu­ pied and up and running. There are four stores that have yet to open: Washington Mutual, Pet Grooming, State Farm and a General Dentistry, headed by Dr. Paul E. Kosciuk, D.D S. These four stores are sched­ uled to open by April 13,2002, the official grand opening of Campus Marketplace. A radio host, games, prizes, sidewalk sales, and fun demonstrations are scheduled for the celebra­ tion. For those who haven’t had a chance to explore this brand -new shopping center, here’s a little update on what’s new. Right now the stores that have been open the longest in the Campus Marketplace are: Ralph’s, a local supermarket, Long’s Drugs, an all-purpose store with a large pharmacy, Starbuck’s, a coffee shop, Blockbuster, a video rental store and the hidden but large Dis­ covery Isle Day Care Center. For those who may be unaware of the more recent store openings, there are now nine more stores open for busi­ ness: Point Loma Credit Union, a local bank that anyone who lives, works or worships in San Diego County can join, Pet People, an everything-for-animals store , Mailboxes Etc., Great Clips, an inexpensive hair salon, Prestige, Nails, an allpurpose nail salon, A+ Teach­ ing Supplies, a supply store for teachers or anyone who needs teaching materials, Radio » > A rtic le cont. on pg 3 �Schmidt’s Boardhouse- Everybody’s Surf and Skate Shop - -■ ^ ____________________ By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The newest addition to the Campus Marketplace is Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which opened Friday, March 1. Walk­ ing into the store, one can’t help but feel the fun environment that Andy Schmidt, the owner, has set up. With the light blue col­ ored walls, loud modem music, and the plush red futon towards the back, one instantly feels wel­ comed. Whether you skateboard or surf, are 12 or 22, Schmidt’s Boardhouse is for you. “We have two different mar­ kets,” says Schmidt. “The first is junior high and high school­ ers, who are into the entire skate­ board industry. They are a lot of my business. The second is the grown-up market from Palomar and Cal State, San Marcos. The ones who surf.” Schmidt’s Boardhouse has m “Everybody *s Surf and Skate Shop, ” Andy Schmidt P ride Phoio/Jamieko Lane the top of the line in everything they sell, with brand names like World Industries, Zero, Ripcurl, Billabong, Dicky’s, and Rusty, to name just a few. Everything in the store is the most recent fash­ ion. “We have nothing from Winter 2001,” says Schmidt, vowing to keep only the most current fashions on the racks. The store is stocked with every­ thing you’d need from skate­ boards or surfboards to clothes, accessories, sandals and" Clive backpacks. “These backpacks are rockin’,” says Schmidt. “I wish I had had them when I was in col­ - ., r » _____ lege. They are the ultimate func­ tional backpack.” The store is staffed with three people: Schmidt, Brent Reid and Nicole Arrington. Schmidt, who has a bachelor’s in business administration and 17 years of surfing experience under his belt, has been a guest speaker multiple times on campus for a business class taught by professor Troy Nielsen. Once in a suit and tie in the manufacturing sales world, Schmidt expresses his view of his new business venture. “I’m excited to be putting 100 percent into this business, but it’s scary as hell.” Through a coincidental meet­ ing, Schmidt was introduced to Reid as a professional surfboard shaper with six years of expe­ rience and part owner of Invoy Surfboards. Reid, who has shaped boards under the guidance of better-known shapers such as Linden, Brewer and Welden, puts pride into Invoy, vowing to have the turnaround time for a custom surfboard to be only three weeks. Nicole Arrington, the third of the three musketeers, came on board as the buyer. Arrington is in charge of everything that is non-hardware: clothes, accesso­ ries and shoes. “She’s the one with the fashion sense out of the three of us,” says Schmidt. Right now, the store is still in the growing process. They’re still hanging clothes on the racks, installing the television and work­ ing on the finishing touches. Their goal is to have snowboards and shoes on board by-September. “We want to be the local shop known for customer service,” says Schmidt. “We want to be known as everybody’s surf and skate shop.” Schmidt’s Board­ house is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. San Marcos Sheriff’s Department Holds License/Safety -Checkpoint By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer The Sheriff's Department conducted the . first Driver’s License/Safety Checkpoint of 2002 from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1. The checkpoint was set up in the' 500 block of east Mission Avenue, only 1.4 miles from Cal State San Marcos, and was conducted by San Marcos Traffic Unit, San Marcos COPPS Unit, and Senior Volunteer Unit. According to Sergeant Mike Ceq, the checkpoint was com­ pletely random, similar to that of a DUI checkpoint.

Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seri­ ously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theo­ retical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline(s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Sup­ plement. All forms of literary writing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or math­ ematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be parentheti­ cal. APA, MLA, Chicago, arid all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. • The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research m the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind.

Only one out of three regis­ tered voters cast ballots in the closed primary election, making it the second lowest election turnout in the state’s history. The lowest voter turnout was recorded in the 1994 primary election, which had a 35-percent turnout, when former Gov. Pete Wilson was re-elected. According to the county’s Registrar of Voters website, San Diego County’s total voter turn­ out was 32.3 percent, a total of 438,,761 voters. Statewide, 31.9 percent of voters cast a ballot, according to the Secretary of State website. The information was updated on March 9, and out of 15,280,808 registered voters ,only 4,888,586 cast a ballot However, this is not a final count because ballots are still being counted. On the day of the election, Secretary of State Bill Jones said that only 36 percent of Califor­ nia’s registered voters voted. » > A r tic le cont. from pg. 1 Shack, an electronics store, Schmidt’s Boardhouse, which has a variety of products for surfers and skateboarders, and finally, Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill.

The second half of the con­ ference focused on many issues of concerning all women, with workshops like ‘Defining Your­ self in this Ever Changing World,’ ‘Who am I,’ and ‘Creating Bal­ ance in Your Life.’ ‘Defining Yourself in this Ever Changing World’ focused on the role women play in society. This particular session discussed how the individual perceived her-. self in the “Bigger Picture” Also discussed were assessments of values, culture and social stand­ ing, which women individually place themselves in. ‘Who am I?’ discussed issues of self-realization and self­ esteem. ‘Creating Balance in Your Life’ provided strategies on how to maximize your time, balance your time and priorities, foster­ ing healthy habits, and how to deal with conflict in the home and at work, Tanis Brown, a Human Resource Administrator, felt that this conference was “an oppor­ tunity for the outside commu­ nity to come in and see what we [CSUSM] has to offer...[and] that the young college women had a chance to share their expe­ riences and make a connection.” The last portion of the con­ ference focused on the whole woman. What is meant by the “whole woman” is our differ­ ences, our flexibility, our abili­ ties, and the many faces of the woman. Titles such as ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’, ‘Com­ municating Your Decisions to Others,’ ‘Let’s talk about Diver­ sity,’ and ‘De-Stress this Mess.’ ‘Moving Forward By Giving Back’ discussed how the “educa­ tional experiences, professional aspirations, and accomplish­ ments” of a women-or anyoneare useful in mentoring and out­ reach.

This particular workshop was guided by a series of activities that involved self-reflection, andunderstanding others of diverse cultures, as well as the common­ alities shared by all women. “.While we all come from different experiences, we each embrace a similar style of com­ munication. As women we have many different roles, yet we have similarities and differences that make us unique,” said Parisa Soltani, the EOP counselor who led the diversity workshop. This year’s Women’s Leader­ ship Conference brought women from all sizes, ages, cultures, and professions together to create “a cross section of women together for goal planning,” said Jonathan Poullard, dean of students and committee leader. 150 women attended the conference this year, and leaders hope and expect to exceed that number next year. Successful Negotiations Between California Faculty and CSU System > »A rticle cont. from pg. 1 The agreement reached on March 2 will cover fiscal years 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04. While many faculty members have expressed disappointment over the CFA’s failure to secure retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year, Diehr said, “While faculty will give up some takehome pay in 2001/02, they will probably recoup the loss in 2002/03 . . . furthermore, giving up retroactivity locked in a higher salary increase for 2002/03 than we could have negotiated with retroactivity.” Marshall said that “given the current economic situ­ ation in California and the nation, the trade-off of retroactive pay for larger gains in the future was a wise move for both the CFA and the CSU. Because more than half the 2001/02 fiscal year is over, fac­ ulty would have been entitled to retroactive pay reflecting the salary increases that the bar­ gaining unit negotiated. H o w t ever, Diehr noted that the “deal on retroactivity was made in exchange for guaranteed servicestep increases (SSIs) and the “Big Three,” and to lock in a larger sec­ ond-year general salary increase. . . . This tentative agreement trades some short-term benefits for important long-term gains.” Service Step Increases: These 2.65 percent salary increases are awarded annually to many assistant and associate professors for satisfactory perfor­ mance. Formerly, these increases were paid for out of a “com­ pensation increase pool,” which reduced the actual annual increase by about % percent (this means that if the CSU admin­ istration awarded a four-percent salary increase and the state pro­ vided funding for the four-percent increase, the actual increase was, on average, only 3.2 per­ cent.) The CFA has successfully negotiated an end to charging the pool for these increases, which Diehr said will increase salaries by about 6.8 percent (by July 30, 2002) and will also increase many lecturers’ salaries. “I’m very pleased that the process of funding the SSI’s through the pool has ^een discontinued,” Diehr said. The “Big Three:” Lecturer Health Benefits: Previously, adjunct faculty was not eligible for benefits unless teaching at least 50 percent of the time. Beginning June 30, 2002, all lecturers without any other health coverage will be eligible for benefits while engaged to teacfi at least six units, or a time base of 40 percent. Beginning June 30, 2003, all lecturers will be eligible for benefits, regard­ less of any other health coverage, at a 40 percent time base. Counselors Placed on Instructional Faculty Salary Schedule: According to Diehr, the CFA has negotiated unsuc­ cessfully for many years to have counselors placed on the same pay schedule as instructional fac­ ulty. Thisg^ime, the CFA was Successful in its negotiations. Those counselors who fall into the lowest pay range will see pay increases of up to 15 percent. Increase in Chair’s Stipends; A seven-percent increase for department chairs, according to academic year classifications, was successfully negotiated. Diehr pointed out that each year the CSU administration has reduced general salary increases to pay for the SSIs, as jwell as other ‘‘enhancements,” and that the CSU administration wanted to lower these increases to pay for the “Big Three.” The CFA agreement to forfeit retroactive pay for the 2001/02 fiscal year locks in a two-percent general salary increase for the 2002/03 year and guarantees three years of SSIs - if the CFA had con­ ceded to the lowered increase and agreed to pay for the SSIs and the “Big Three,” the general salary increase would have been only .6 percent. “By using a creative approach,” said Diehr, “faculty will see that four percent salary increase. It’s a very reasonable contract.” Other Successfully Negoti­ ated Changes for Faculty: The Faculty Merit Increase program was terminated, a pro­ gram that Diehr called “gener­ ally unpopular.” Beginning July 1, 2003, if the total faculty com­ pensation increase exceeds a 3.5 percent or greater increase, a new merit pay system will be devel­ oped. SSIs will now be based on personnel action files, and the standard for awarding these increases is satisfactory perfor­ mance. Further, faculty denied SSIs will now be able to file a grievance. Beginning Summer 2004 (for all campuses on yearround schedules), all faculty will be compensated at 100 percent, rather than 80 percent, for summer workloads. Anticipated Changes Agreed Upon by the CFA and the CSU Administration: Diehr stated that while these changes may not result in any immediate benefit to faculty or students, their implementation is required to uphold standards of quality education. The CFA is still trying to reduce the ration of students to tenure-track fac­ ulty. The CSU will conduct 1,200 searches for new tenure-track faculty beginning in 2002/03. While a new merit pay system has not been developed, Diehr anticipates the formulation of a system more acceptable to the CFA. Parking fees are not under negotiation, and will not change. The three-year contracts to be awarded for six years of service should not only provide adjunct faculty with greater job security, but also retain such faculty mem­ bers for longer periods of time. And while pay increases for summer appointments will not go into effect until 2004, the successful negotiations of these increases should help students and faculty alike with the tran­ sition from a two-semester to a year-round system. While all changes and nego­ tiations are tentative, the March 8,2002 vote will lock in all nego­ tiations through the fiscal year 2004. Diehr said he expects, the CFA will ratify the vote. Mary Elizabeth Stivers, associate vice president for academic affairs and a member of the CSU bargaining team, was unavailable for com­ ment.

Little did I know that I was about to embark on a journey into the midst of a horrific war battle, which direc­ tor Randall Wallace portrayed so realistically and heartbreakingly that the images sneakecl up on me days after I saw it. We Were Soldiers tells the true story of American com­ mander Lt. Hal Moore (played by Mel Gibson) and his 450 troops of the 7th Cavalry who were ordered to air assault into the la Drang Valley in Vietnam on Nov. 14,1965. Their mission: Find and kill the enemy! Moore had no idea, when he was the first soldier to step off the chopper and fire his rifle, that he was about to lead his men into the first major faceto-face battle between the U.S. Army and the Peopled Army of Vietnam. Despite massive American air and artillery fire support, this battle caused a tremendous amount of casualties among young American warriors. Unlike many other movies about the Vietnam War, director Randall Wallace considered one significant factor that is often portrayed insufficiently. It is the first movie that shows both the action on the war front and the sit­ uation back home, equally. More than one hour of the running time is devoted to the establishment of the soldiers’ family life - giving those young men a vulnerable, human side as loving fathers and husbands and showing the impor­ tance of their marital bonds. Also, the worries and fearful waiting of their wives is portrayed in a realistic manner, when the storyline emphasizes the heartbreaking'delivery of governmen­ tal telegrams that confirm the death of the soldiers. The movie’s opening scene, which shows the slaughtering of French soldiers in Indo China, throws the viewer right into the relentless horrors of war and pro­ vides a hint of what is about to come: Heavy artillery, splashes of blood landing on the camera lens, screams of dying soldiers, the camera angle allowing the viewer to stare right down the barrel of a Vietnamese soldier’s rifle - a horrific imagery of killing. All of the demonstrated fight­ ing scenes feel Smazingly real and evoke a wish for escape in the audience, when the screen soaks you into a desperate fire­ storm battle for survival in 100degree heat while choppers under severe fire try to bring water and carry out wounded men. Gibson does a tremendous job of portraying the brave, dis­ ciplined, and experienced Lt. Moore, who loves his soldiers REVIEW "Ice By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor In the new animated movie, Ice Age, there was fexcitement, a sense of camaraderie, struggle, and finally, the move to a new land. Of course, this was all before the movie even began. For the first time ever, the trip to see the movie became much more eventful than the movie itself. My son and I began the 35-minute trek to La Jolla and made it to the theater right when the movie should begin. We got in just in time, sat down and hoped the movie would start. But it didn’t ... for over 45 minutes. A radio station and newspa­ per sponsored a free preview of Ice Age the weekend before its release (it comes out this Friday). The two companies took about 20 minutes to hand out free gifts and to warm up the crowd (a crowd of noisy kids warmed up right before a movie is never a good thing). After they finally ended the gift giving, they promised free posters to all who did not win a t-shirt or sweatshirt. The crowd cheered, the kids shouted and talked. My son sat patiently wait­ ing for the movie to begin. I had a headache. But finally^ the moment was here. Ice Age began -with no sound. The crowd shouted and jeered A like sons and has to see them die on the battlefield. He captures the audience by reliving Moore’s painful war experience onscreen and seems to almost be Moore when he steps onto the helicopter as the last-man to leave the war zone. With the words, “I’ll never forgive myself*that my men died and I didn’t,” Gibson brings Moore’s experience to life. It is the cinematography, the enormous amount of pyro techr nique, the unbelievable work of the make-up artists, who make every injury a painful and real experience, as well as the fast edits, that evoke a sense of entrap­ ment and the inability to escape from this tragic scenery. The movie lets the audience relive the hopeless situation of the soldiers and provides a blunt picture of what war really feels like. It is not a simple glorifica­ tion of American heroes and the dehumanization of the enemy, as it so often is in other war movies. It is a tribute to the young Ameri­ cans who died in la Drang Valley fighting not for the flag, not for the country but rather, as Moore says, “for each other.” It is a trib­ ute to the women and children left behind and suffering from the fear and pain of losing their husbands and fathers, and yes, it is even a tribute to the mur­ dered enemies, who too, were young soldiers leaving behind their beloved.

John Best’s lifef is the story of a successful trum­ pet player. Born in Shelby, North Car­ olina, in 1913, John Best received his first piano lessons at the age of 6. He quit his musical education because the kids in school teased him that playing the piano was not for a boy, but several years later he chose the trumpet and stuck with it for the rest of his life. Today, he lives in La Jolla and is well known for his success as a jazz musician. Twenty years ago, Best had an accident in his avocado orchard in Pauma Valley.

This jour­ ney brings the whales near the San Diego coastline, which allows observers to see these awesome mammals in their natural environ­ ment. Two weeks ago, along with 30 others, I was able to enjoy the pleasant,, but bumpy, ride on a boat. We departed Marina Village, which is off Mission Bay Road, and headed to the outer skirts of Mis­ sion Beach. The price of the trip is nor­ mally $20 per person, but I was able to get two tickets for the price of one from a coupon in the San Diego Reader (a great source for coupons and events). While many cruises guarantee whale sightings, it is possible that certain excursions will not produce sightings. In the case of no sightings, most whalewatching companies provide cus­ tomers with a complimentary pass to return on another whale-watch­ ing adventure.

After much observation, we headed back to the dock. The threehour^ journey was well worth our time and money. I highly recom­ mended the mission for the adven­ turous type, or for those willing to try something new in the San Diego area. If you dare to participate in such an adventure, here is some friendly advice: 1. Dress in layers: The boat will go approximately five miles off shore. Most boats have indoor and outdoor seating available. Guests usually want to stay outdoors to see the sights, so dress in layers, complete with a warm sweater or jacket. Due to the time of year of the migration and the cold ocean water, it’s at least 10 degrees cooler on the boat. 2. Bring binoculars, a camera or a video recorder. Whale watch­ ing, for most, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You could catch a spout or a fin on film and save it forever. The cruises occasionally capture a whale breaching, the ulti­ mate in whale watching. 3. Be prepared for seasickness. It was strange to see about six people throw up overboard at one time. The experts recommend eating crackers or toast and.drinking Sprite before, or early, bn the trip. You may also purchase Dramamine at your nearest drug store. Some of the area’s whale watch­ ing companies to contact are: Seaforth Sportfishing (Marina Vil­ lage) at (619) 224-3383, Homblower Cruises at (619) 725-8888, H&M Landing at (619) 222-1144, and Point Loma Sportfishing at (619) 223-1627.

In the Campus Marketplace, known to many §s Ralph’s Center, a restau­ rant made for food lovers opened on Feb. 26: Stir Fresh Mongo­ lian Grill. Stir Fresh caters to all types of lifestyles. Whether you’re a vegan, a meat lover, diabetic, Kosher, lactose intolerant or the good old-fashioned eat-everything-in-front-of-you kind of person, Stir Fresh is for you. To many, “Mongolian Grill” is not only unfamiliar, but intim­ idating as well. I went into the newly built restaurant expecting a mediocre quality of food, but I was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful restaurant. It was equipped with a television for sports events or major pro'gramming, but I was thoroughly impressed with the great-tasting food. Stir Fresh is exciting, and as Cory Barhart, a Cal State San Marcos student said, “DAMN GOOD ” Stir Fresh is a buffet-style restaurant priced under $10, and its motto is “Grab a bowl and the adventure begins.” There are five steps to this adventure. The first step is to choose the type of meat you. want: beef, chicken, pork or lamb. The meat is thinly sliced and frozen for easier and health­ ier cooking. The second step is to choose your veggies. You have 14 to choose from, includ­ ing but not limited to spinach, broccoli, snow peas, water chest­ nuts, and mushrooms. The third step is to add the noodles. You are allowed to and encouraged to pile these ingredients as high as you can. “Cory and I like to smash <it down with our hands to cram more stuff in,” said Kris Asgharzadeh, a CSUSM student and friend of Barhart. The fourth and most impor­ tant step is choosing the right combination from 10 different flavors of sauce. The different sauce combinations have differ­ ent levels of spiciness and are made fresh daily. Only two are oil-based; the others are waterbased. With the water-based sauces, you are eating not only flavorful food but also healthy food. The water-based sauces tend to evaporate on the grill and the cooks, who will send you back for more sauce if they think you don’t have enough, want you to enjoy the food you create. “Since you’re the creator of your food we don’t want it to taste bad,” said Jesi Schiffer, restau­ rant consultant for Stir Fresh. The final and most exciting step is watching the food being cooked. The chef grills on an open, circular grill, walking around the grill in a circle and entertaining you as he cooks your food. After a minute and a half, your food is done. There are two grills and the restaurant has the capacity for three cooks on a busy weekend night. With your meal, you also receive a Chinese pocket biscuit, similar to a pita, unlimited Egg Drop Soup, and unlimited white rice; all three are made fresh daily. You can either choose an Express plate, which allows you one trip to the buffet, or an unlimited plate, which allows you, for only one or two dollars more depending on the time of day, to go as many Times as you want. There are also many side dishes that you can purchase, including fried rice and spring rolls. For those of you who don’t want the unlimited sodas or teas and would rather enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage with your meal, don’t worry. Stir Fresh has domestic and import beers as well as pre­ mium and house wines. For family customers with children who don’t want the Mongolian cuisine, again, don’t worry. They can order a corn dog and frie,s or choose from a list of familiar food items. If you have already eaten and are in the mood for dessert, may I suggest the Mongolian Moun­ tain, which is a warm brownie topped with chocolate sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whip cream and of course, a Mara­ schino cherry. Sit out on the patio and enjoy it with a coffee from PowerSurge. It’s the ulti­ mate way to end a hard day’s work. Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill, open daily from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.,/ is located on the comer of Twin Oaks Valley and Barham Dr., right across from Starbucks and next to Subway. If you’re strolling through the downtown area of Carlsbad. Village, you will notice a wide variety of restaurants and bars lining the streets, many times on both sides. Without even searcing, you can find everything from an open-air cantina to fine dining. Then, just a bit farther east on Grand Ave., boarding the edge of the downtown area, is The Grand Avenue Bar and Grill. Hidden behind the face of what looks like your average bar is an eclectic menu that will satisfy your cravings for just about any­ thing. The food at the Grand ranges from the relatively standard bar appetizers like nachos, fries and poppers to more gourmet meals like halibut and steamed Littleneck Clams, or Greenlip Mus­ sels in a white wine garlic sauce over linguini. The prices are reasSnable, especially when you see and taste what you are served. Fresh seafood and vegetables are always plentiful. To plan for the daily happen­ ings, the kitchen manager and chef du jour Mark Thompson, places at . least 15 items on the list of specials, which includes three to five different types of fish. None of the items are on the main menu, and Thompson bor­ rows from many different styles of cooking. “Many times, I just create different things to see if people enjoy their meals,” said Thompson. REVIEW “I have pretty much free reign over the food, so I can experiment. I try to take into REVIEW Mark Thompson P ride Photo/James Newell consideration what my custom­ ers want and still offer all the items at a reasonable price.” When asked why he chooses to work his creativity and present his ideas at a bar, rather than at a fancier establishment, Thomp­ son said he likes the casual atmo­ sphere. Although the Grand gets busy and stressful, he said, “I’ve dealt with the stuffy fine dining and corporate crowd in the past. I’ve seen that side (of the restau­ rant business), and I don’t want to go back.” Grand Bar and Grill Restaurant. P ride Photo/James Newell As for his future outlook on the food, Thompson said, “I would love to see this place do some fancier dining in the future, but I’m happy just to watch the restaurant grow, press on and go where it takes us.” Even after the economic toils many busi­ ness owners faced in the past year, the Grand’s sales were up 30 percent from last year. Thompson has been with the Grand fSt about five years, but he brings 30 years of restau­ rant experience to his position. Thompson spent the better part of 25 years with the now cor­ porate-owned Chart House, and five years with Jay’s Gourmet. Each time I eat at the Grand, I always try to order something different. Last Sunday, three friends and I strolled into the Grand for a late lunch. I ordered the Blackened Catfish sand­ wich. It consisted of a long filet, generously seasoned with Cajun spices, served with let­ tuce, tomato and red onion, and I chose toasted sourdough bread. It is always hard to decide between crispy onion rings and steak fries to accompany my meal, so April, our server, suggested a half order of each: problem solved. “The food at the Grand never ceases to amaze me*” said Randy Reyes, manager of Real. Food Daily, which i s a certified green restaurant located on the edge of Beyerly Hills in L.A. County, as he looked down at a thick cut of medium-rare Ahi topped with seaweed salad and served on a toasted sesame bun. “Even though I live in L.A. now, when I’m in town visiting friends, I always come and eat at the G.” The price of appetizers ranges from $1.25 for garlic bread to $9.95 for a special lob­ ster sushi roll. Sandwiches range from $3.95 for the grilled cheese to $9.95 for the New York Steak sandwich. All sandwiches are served with a choice of potato salad, french fries or dinner salad. As for entrees, you can get Polio Baracho, which is a charbroiled breast of chicken in a tequila sauce topped with pepper-jack cheese and served with black beans and flour tortillas, for $8.95. But the Surf and Turf, which is a New York steak and charbroiled shrimp combi­ nation served with wild rice pilaf and garlic bread, will cost you $13.95. The everyday menu and dining is supplemented by a Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. daily, including weekends. The Grand offers specials on drinks and has created a couple of theme nights: Taco Tuesday and Thurs­ day’s Wing Night. For Tac6 Tuesday, you can get two tacos for $2. The special runs from 4-8 p.m. and you can choose from chicken, fish or carne tacos. On Thursday’s Wing Night, a dozen wings will cost you $3, and you can choose from nine different sauces. The special runs from 4-10 p.m., dine in only. “Wing Night gets very busy,” said Shery Harding, one of the bartenders. “It has taken on a life of its own.” “Every time I come in, there are good eats at the Grand,” said long-time Oceanside resi­ dent Joe Lorch. Lorch was eating the Diablo Burger, which is a spicy, half-pound burger topped with roasted jalapeno and sorrento peppers and melted pepper -jack cheese. “This is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and it’s got some serious heat.” This month, the Grand will celebrate its 10-year anniversary, a milestone many restaurants never achieve. So the next time you’re argu­ ing with your dinner companion about where to eat and what kind of food to choose, don’t make any rash choices/ Stop arguing, head down to the G-spot, and let the menu put an end to your indecisiveness. The Grand Bar and Grill opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday. It opens ht 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday to serve breakfast, and food is served until approximately 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Sat­ urday. It is said by the employ­ ees that some regulars will stay all day on the weekends and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. �_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Opinion _ The System Works...For Us! A New Cult Classic By Emily Kelley Pride Staff Writer The eternal questions that plague mankind: To be or not to be? Fat Elvis or skinny Elvis? Are we men or are we mice? Or how about this one: are we students or are we customers? This is what we were asked from March 7 through March 9, as stu­ dents were invited to participate in a system-wide “Customer Sat­ isfaction Survey.” The survey was designed for students to rate their happiness with many facets of the CSU system, including facility ser­ vices, financial aid, parking services, student financial ser­ vices, and university police. The survey was conducted online at www.csusm.edu/student_survey, and the results will be posted to the Chancellor’s Office Web site in July. According to the Office of the Executive Vice President, the surveys will be “used to deter­ mine focus areas for improve­ ment; this is a great opportunity to let us know what areas you think rate well, what areas may be improved, and what’s important to you.” Every semester as we men­ tally prepare ourselves for the grueling academic road ahead, we must also prepare ourselves financially for the sacrifices we make in order to become pro­ ductive, well-educated little con­ sumers,, ere, I mean members of society. But really, what’s the differ­ ence? This great nation of ours is founded on the equally revered principles of capitalism and selfimprovement. These principles intersect during the college expe­ rience, where students, of their own volition, pay for the oppor­ tunities to better themselves through education. The goods and/or services that students receive should be roughly equiv­ alent to the money they lay down. Many of us, myself included, work crappy jobs for too little pay and receive no insurance bene­ fits or job security. We exchange these benefits for scheduling flex­ ibility, which allows for the mental focus it takes to be a full-time student. We scrimp and save, we take out loans, we run up our credit-card debt, and gem erally prostrate ourselves to the financial institutions, which are the backbone of the system of indentured servitude that ram­ pant debt in our society has cre­ ated. Many people spend the better part of their lives trying to pay down debt incurred as stu­ dents. With that in mind, how could we possibly not be consid­ ered customers? It is commonly said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. For those of us who have expe­ rienced the madness of trying to find a parking spot or the frus­ tration of being unable to enroll in much-needed classes, this is our golden opportunity. Use your voices and be heard. Let’s all be happy customers who get our. money’s worth. HAVE AN OPINION?

Welcome to the World of Aea-Dementia By JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor I would like to take a short excursion through the everincreasing world we (that is an assumption of a college-level readership) all know as theo­ retical argumentation. I will try and illuminate the extremitivity of the generalization, but first, I "must create an open forum of over-interpretation in order to have a correct perparitivization for my look into the sad fate of over-academicization. As we as a nation, that is a faction of globalization, which is a future prediction of the everpressing corporitization, we con­ tinually sift through the paths of recursive regression and ponder the world of our creation. At one time long, long ago, free speech was an extenuation of the interpretation of the amendmentization of our strongly guarded constitution. Now, in order to have our voice heard, we have to participate in the institution­ alization of written communica­ tion. So what has become of the personal governization of our freedom of expression? The institutionalization of pur creativity has taken the,orig­ inality away from our progress toward the development of our individualization.

There was a def­ inite buzz in the atmosphere and Anne Rice’s Queen o f the Damned was at fault. Forced to buy tickets in advance, there weren’t any parking spots avail­ able, and the lines were long. However, this was not enough to stop moviegoers from attend­ ing the opening, debut of Rice’s third novel turned film, from ‘The Vampire Chronicles’ tril­ ogy. Once inside the theater, there were lines everywhere filled with moviegoers chatting about their curiosities and com­ parisons of Anne Rice’s ‘The Vampire Chronicle’s’ trilogy ... I wonder if the film will be like this or that was the overture of expression. I think this is a fantastic film, a definite MUST SEE ! The beginning entranced me with its dark and ambient metal, which prepared you for the immortal star — Lestat De Lioncourt (played by Stuart Townsend). If not a metal fan, I guarantee after viewing this film you will be. The role of Akasha, the queen of all vampires, was played by the late Aaliyah— who was a rising and shining star of Hollywood before her untimely death last August. This is a great film that everybody is watching. On open­ ing weekend, this film grossed $18.5 million, skyrocketing to the number-one slot. Queen o f the Damned has continued to hold a spot in the top 10 for three weeks now, grossing $33.9 mil-, lion to date. If you’re an Anne Rice fan, you will notice the streaming of both ‘The Vampire Lestat’ and ‘Queen of the Damned,’ which really pieced the film together. I do agree with the reporter that the film lacked a satisfactory ending, but I will not gripe. The director, Michael Ryhmer, did the best he could to put together a decent film after the star of the film died in the midst of film­ ing. Considering this adversity, I think Rhymer thought on his feet and put together a great work. The breakdown of the story basi­ cally tells of a queen in search of a king to rule eternity with. During her search, the immor­ tal vamp she is seeking is out and about seeking a career as a rock star. The two vamps meet... Akasha advances the relation­ ship by taking her king Lestat to a deserted location in Haiti, where they passionately express themselves - if you know what I mean. That is all I can say with­ out telling the whole story. You, have to see the film for yourself. We will miss you Aaliyah. Ml see you at the movies . . . oh yeah, .M.A., you ckn come too.

He is after the people that carelessly throw cigarette butts on the ground, which I agree is gross.

It has been speculated that the lack of availability is due to the statewide budget crisis, but there is another sieve that the California Faculty Association (CFA) claims is draining the CSU system, not funded by state allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses by direction of the Chancellor's Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far, CSUSM is remaining on budget and not showing any signs of trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far from finished. CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft According to the homepage of the California State University at calstate.edu, the entire system is made up of 407,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The primary representative of the faculty in the CSU is the CFA. In an email circulated to its members on Nov. 20, the CFA has issued an "urgent request" to all CFA members, asking for any kind of information and/or evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few months, the "California State Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft) computer data project." The message also reports that the "software has demonstrated poor performance history at other U.S. campuses, and that the project is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars more than its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million approximation is system-wide, there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each university were the same size, there would be a roughly $17 million average for each school to pay out of its own funding - and each campus is expected to surpass that estimate. Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project, entitled "The Future of CSU, Reclaiming the University for the People of California," involved speeches by powerful union representatives from around the state. Pauline Robinson, the director of the CSU division of the California State Employees Association (CSEA) staff union, expressed her concern about the PeopleSoft changeover. "What I think the CSU is missing here is they don't value the talent that they have in the system...They now have another partnership going.. .It's called CMS or PeopleSoft... We have Silicon talented techs in our system, but their talents aren't recognized. [The CSU seems] to think that these people are not economically viable, that they need to bring in another whole group, they need to outsource all the work, or insource our people, whichever way they're planning on going...So when you say where is the future of this CSU, I really couldn't say, because there's nothing that we can do to stop progress, but I still think that peoples' needs should be looked at and measured before you just jump into something," Robinson said. What is PeopleSoft? According to Bill Welch, an independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going way over budget happens about as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that created a multi function software package that was meant to be 'all things to all people,' according to Welch. He said, "It is a very large system and has many components, depending on [why a company needs it]." The PeopleSoft programs for higher education use basically three products. The first is a Human Resources/ Payroll Financials package, which tracks income, expenses, and assets. The second is a Student Administration package that includes student financial inforSee PEOPLESOFT, page 5 Disorganization or Fraud? ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for Edwards Cinema Management Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent in Part on Questionable Activities By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored its first free movie night for students at Edwards Cinemas in San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8 Mile. Students began to arrive at 6 p.m. and were shocked to find out that the theater personnel were unaware of the free ticket offer for CSUSM students on that evening. Problems in Planning and Organization San Marcos Edwards Cinema manager, David Landfield, was furious to find the entryway to the theater bombarded and blocked off by CSUSM students who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not authorized nor were we notified of this event," said Landfield. He further commented that for an event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for the organization (ASI) to rent the theater at a cost of $2,400. Worried students lined up outside the doors watching and listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to theater management that they had learned of this free movie promotion through flyers and e-mail. Grace, an Edwards employee who was stationed at the door, pointed out the illegali- ties of the advertisement that ASI had produced. Theflyerfeatured not only a copyrighted film advertisement that was reprinted without permission, but the name of the cinema was printed without notification and permission as well. At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI and their programming board, who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with over 100 group activity passes to purchase tickets at the box office. The tickets were bought at this time, and the programming board members who were buying the tickets were not even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers distributed at CSUSM said that only 50 tickets were going to be given out to CSUSM students, however this was not the case, as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to why the programming board members were purchasing the extra 50 tickets, they expressed concerns about riots breaking out if they denied entrance to anyone. Cinema management confronted ASI programming board members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI that he would not exercise the law and press charges against the university at this time, however he indicated that this type of event was never to occur again without permission of the theater. He further declared that the theater would be more than happy to accommodate future university-sponsored activities with proper notice and planning. ASI Programming Board Representative Brett Gladys defended their actions by saying that they had called the theater during the previous week and spoken with an employee, who had told them that there would be no problem with holding the event on the day and time requested. It was later determined that the employee was not a member of theater management and did not have the authority to permit the event, thus Gladys had been given incorrect information. Student Money for NonStudents While about 18 students said to have received aflyeror e-mail for the event, many admitted to being close friends of ASI members who had invited them to the showing. Many students who had attended in response toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge amount of people who showed up with the ASI programming board members. Programming Board and ASI members began checking school IDs and handing out tickets around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet several students were seen going See ASI MOVIE, page 4 �News Update: CSUSM Staff Responds to Registration and Administration Troubles By JULIE MYRES & ALYSSA classes because they obtained FINKELSTEIN poor attendance in the past." Pride Staff Writer & Lead Editor Wiener also indicated that, "There is a Catch 22 here in Last week, The Pride ran an some departments: If lecturers, article about the difficulties that who teach most evening and both students and faculty are Saturday classes (as they teach encountering with new registra- most classes at GSUSM), are not tion policies and administrative allowed to teach upper division changes.

Wiener (see table at right). Wiener added that, for the classrooms accompanied by asterisks, "the realistic maximum occupancy is much lower; student in back rows can see and hear poorly. These statistics are based on Academic Scheduling's chart for the second week of the term. More classes might have been added." This information is based from statistics taken from this Fall 2002 semester.

He said, "a basic foreign language class [was scheduled during] the first few weeks in ACD 102, a large lecture hall. At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even had a wheelchair-bound student. If you are in such an unsafe classroom, you should report it to Regina Frasca, Director of Risk Management and Safety." In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound concern among The Pride and many students regarding the decision-making of the use of these classrooms. CSUSM administrator response to statistics previously reported The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director of Enrollment Services. In an email sent to Staff Writer Julie Myres (the author of last week's article), Riehl said that, "Your article pointed out the challenges we face as a rapidly growing university." Riehl also pointed out a few Capacity Building / Room # ARTS 101 (VPA classes only) 60 200 ARTS 240 145 ACD 102 80* ACD 104 90* ACD 305 65 UH 100 56 UH 360 60 UH 370 66 UH 373 clarifications about the information printed last week. He said that, "Our enrollment this fall was 7,627, not "just fewer than 7,000," and he also clarified that SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of 2003. The original information reported last week was based on various estimated numbers that were reported by members of the administration and the CSUSM website. The SDSU information was originally gathered from the Union Tribune, however an article published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday December 6,2002 also corrected the SDSU statistic. It also turns out that the FTES numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These numbers make no sense at all, although I think I know where you got them. The 5,066 was the actual FTES count for last spring. The 6,627 number was the headcount for last spring. We project this spring's FTES count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents a decline from 5,810 FTES and 7,627 in the fall. We stopped taking admissions applications for spring earlier than ever in our history to attempt to bring enrollment down closer to our funding level." The information published earlier was gathered originally from a member of Usage 39% 36% 32% 40% 45% 40% 55% 53% 51% personnel at the College of Art and Sciences. Editor's Note: This article is definitely covering a controversial subject that has brought attention to students, faculty, and administration. Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and faculty members were granted with complete anonymity in the original article. One reason there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack of information openly published for student use. The Pride found many sources of information that contradicted each other and did its best to get the correct information for the article. It is apparent that Pride staff writers are frequently given incorrect information by staff and faculty who do not realize the implications of the information they are distributing. This has happened several times during this semester when writers have approached sources for stories. Correct information could be more easily reporteddn the future if faculty and staff as well as students, try to remember that The Pride is also growing (alongside the university) albeit with only one journalism course and no program to support it.

The rule applies only to first-time freshman and to lower division transfer students with fewer than 60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at 11:59 p.m., applications for these two prospective groups were closed, however applications from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and graduate students are still being accepted. ASI ment within our funding." Despite the closing of the admission process, Richard Reihl, executive director of enrollment services, said that CSUSM allowed a few extra days for students wanting to enroll in this university. "The deadline allowed for some flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open enrollment period established by the California State University ended November 30, 2002. We've allowed a few extra days as a grace period for those whose applications might have been delayed for one reason or another, but we now must stop accepting applications because of our need to manage enroll- students due to the budget deficit. "Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from transfer students," expressed Riehl. According to Riehl, since Dec. 5 more than 4,300 applications had been received from potential freshman students. This equals the number of applications received from freshman for the entire 2002-2003 academic Because of the increasing popyear, and this time the applica- ularity of CSUSM, Riehl said, tions were accepted all the way "We recommend that students through July. file their applications materials as soon as possible."

He added, "To do that, we may have to slow down the number of new students entering the university until we have more resources available." Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment for the 2002-03 academic year, and it is currently struggling to balance its funding with its teaching and service obligations. Furthermore, with the prospect of reductions in state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus has started to adopt a cautious approach to admissions, which might leave many prospective students out of the university.

The CSU web page for Frequently Asked Questions about PeopleSoft says that, "everyone who uses the new system will be required to receive training before access is granted to the system." Another statement on the site indicates that, "while the data will all reside on hardware located at the Unisys facility in Salt Lake City, each campus' data, including the Chancellor's CSUSM response to CFA Office data, is on a separate data- charges base and access will be controlled by user ID and passwords."

He said, "It's very beneficial to have all campuses using the same administrative system." He also added that in May of2000, the CSUSM President's Cabinet approved a 6-year project plan, which began during the fiscal year 2000/2001 (sometime between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001). Cal State San Marcos has chosen a phased implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the program] are phased in, we are training our staff." According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to "complete implementation of the [Human Resources], Finance, and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment." Contrary to CFA accusations that the CSU campuses are outsourcing talent, Veres has been an employee of CSUSM since 1992, and he says that all members of the CSUSM CMS/ PeopleSoft implementation team are employees of the university. However, he admitted that "we do contract with some consultants but only for very short periods of time - 1-3 days at a time - and only when we need help through some functional or technical detail." The CSUSM website has a link for the invoicing of PeopleSoft trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/ T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot be opened by anyone without a password. Employees are not issued passwords until they have completed the training required by the program. Needless to say, very few people on the CSUSM campus actually have access to this information.

By BRIAN FISHER Pride Staff Writer Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean of instructional and information technology services, spends his last weeks at CSUSM after nine years of campus technology achievements. Dr. Nicholson immigrated to America from Scotland at age 18. His constant interest in engineering got him jobs in aerospace technology. After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted to working for the Santa Ana School District as a teacher, and then moved to a community college. in California. CSUSM has even become the email service provider for the new Channel Islands campus. With over 2,000 computers networked together at CSUSM, wireless access and new computers, it has become one of the leading technology schools in Southern California. Norm says he is confident in his staff and believes the school will be in good hands. He explains, "I'm leaving the university in very good shape!' Nicholson described why he decided to leave CSUSM. "I've worked long enough. I've spent 9 years here, and a whole career of 30 some years before that in other places. I just decided now it's time I can afford to. Its time to find out if there's life after work! I've worked really hard almost all my life and I'd like to see what else there is. I'd like to spend more time playing golf and spending time with family." His interest in Cal State San Marcos sparked after he discovered that many older schools were shutting doors on innovative thinkers and ideas. Norm wanted a fresh start with people "who were willing to push the envelope of instructional technology."

However, Desjean's job is somewhat different than most. Desjean has a talent with the bass guitar and explores that talent with his band 'No Knife,' which can be heard if people listen to 92.1 or 91X fm. Their latest album, entitled "Riot for Romance," has had quit a bit of success, landing them their last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' back in October. "No Knife's" latest tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band a chance to play some songs from their new album, and also gave Desjean a chance to not attend school for a few weeks. About the challenge of going on a tour and attending school at the same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when we toured extensively. Now that I am at Cal State it's all about touring during the summer, or doing short runs here and there so I don't miss too much work. It can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I feel I could be doing a album. Last Halloween, Desjean left his class in a hurry to get down to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach where all band members dressed up and played the Halloween party. They also Desjean has been playing recently did a tour in Japan and bass for about 12 years now, will go back again this January. and has been with the band for Desjean plans on graduating in about 10 years.

"Our next show is January 7th in Tokyo, if you can't make that one, we have another show when we get back on January 31st at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach," Desjean said about his next show.

Our Neighbors Show Support: They Too th Remember September 11 By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer To this day, America still sits and waits to see if the current administration will decide whether or not to take this country into a full-scale war. Meanwhile, Mexico and Canada's people say to support America, although they would not want to see any harm come to this country. A war on this land could very well cause harm to their borders, especially if the United States is dealing with an enemy that is capable of using chemical warfare - warfare that will not only take out the soldiers fighting but also the innocent people at home who fight to keep their country going.

He said that he does not want there to be war, but if there be one he would support America. "What happened last year was not right that day or any other day. Terrorists hurt your country, other countries and my home country. It is not an American war. It is the world's war against terrorists." Further east, in the mall of the town of Kelowna, people expressed feelings about the possible war that faces America. One person stood out in her answer, Bianca Hughes. Hughes said, "I am Canadian and proud, but if for some reason I had to say I was something else I would say an American. I mean we are like Americans but on the other side of the border. If America goes to war I hope they win. If the war comes to American soil then I hope that the Canadian army helps with whatever." In a town called Hope a women working the cashier at the highway gas station responded, " You Americans should bomb the terrorists, they should pay for what they did. I know someone who died in the twin towers." Even farther east, in the small town of Vernon, the last stop before heading back to Vancouver, Canadians were also very supportive of the Americans. They answered with passion as if their own country, was attacked. Heidi Lee, a 19-year-old nursing student, said, "When I saw the news and watched those planes crash my heart dropped. I was so sad when I could see people falling from the tops of the buildings. It is not fair, terrorists are cowardly people, there is no combat in terrorism." �Chimpanzees Progression in the World Ruben Science Fleet Center: J ane Goodwall's Wild Chimpanzees By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor through the film as the dominator of his companions, showing force in order to establish his Jane Goodwall's Wild Chim- rule over the group. panzees, an IMAX film featured at Ruben H.

Then she counterparts, and is depicted presents a couple of questions to the audience. One question that Goodwall makes is "why don't we consider chimpanzees human beings?" Another question is "what differences are there really between human beings and chimpanzees?" There is no doubt that chimpanzees walk on their hands as opposed to humans, showing a difference between the two. However, Goodwall points out that the differences among humans and chimps are minimal. In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans and chimps has been the notion that human beings can reason and pass down knowledge to their children—this assumption no longer exists in the realm of understanding. Goodwall discovered that chimpanzees have learned to make tools with which to hunt their prey, such as ants. This knowledge of hunting, chimpanzees have passed down from their mothers during the seven years where baby chimps need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar to children's development with their mothers. This reasoning and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot reason or teach baby chimps. With regard to whether people should consider chimpanzees a species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that chimps are closely related to, or even actually are, human beings. The research can be used to study the evolution of human beings, because the chimps may be the best example of how human beings in fact evolved from chimpanzees. gallery experience.

These organizations seek assistance from the student body, faculty and staff in the form of donations of toys, non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three holiday drives and one fund raising campaign will all be held on campus and the specifics and contact information are listed in the paragraphs to follow. Angel Tree Toy Drive Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis, is an international student community service organization that helps to foster leadership skills and provide community services to children. For the 11th year this organization has sponsored the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With organizational help from the Black Student Union and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Circle K International plans to provide toys for local non-profit organizations. Organizers of the drive intend to make Christmas a little merrier for a San Marcos home for boys. This particular home was designed to house young men that have been aban- front of Craven 4107, Commons 207B and University Hall 400.

There was a huge Christmas celebration, and al) the children were giddy. Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th annual City of San Marcos' Christmas celebration, known as Santa's Magical Village, which lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9: 00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center. With the celebration geared toward younger children, who always seem to have a double dose, of the Christmas spirit, events were there to keep adults occupied as well. Those in attendance had the opportunity to view and purchase a variety of arts and crafts, all displayed by children dressed as elves and vendors throughout the village. holiday music.

Of course As the evening grew darker, a fire engine's bullhorn announced that it was time for the Christmas tree lighting. With everyone leaving the village in order to gather around the tree, positioned in a grassy park just shy of the parking lot, all awaited to see the spectacle. When the crowd was large enough, the firemen flipped the switch and the tree came to life with a mediocre display of a few strands of Christmas lights. Nonetheless, the children who were still energetic from all the caroling and sweets were thrilled at the tall tree. all items displayed were for sale carols.

By MARIA ACUÑA Pride Staff Writer SOLEDAD gave a fascinating, colorful, and distinctive touch to the play. The people cheerfully accompanied the singers with applauses and songs. However, it did not break the momentum of the play, which the spectators were able to perceive and comment. "It was wonderful, funny and very well organized. I did not know anything about this Mexican tradition, because I am from Guatemala, but I enjoyed it a lot," said Ana Gonzalez, who came with some other Palomar College students to see the play, The Visual and Performing Arts departments' Arts and Lectures series, in conjunction with the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE), showed from Thursday through Saturday its 2nd annual presentation of the play, La Pastorela. On Thursday and Friday the presentation took place at 8: 00 pm, on Saturday there were two performances at 2:00 and 8: 00 pm. Directed by Dora Arreola and adapted by Ursula Tania, this traditional Mexican performance is a religious story that was first introduced to Mexico in the sixteenth century to teach native people about Christianity. The central idea in this adaptation is that no matter how hard the devil and his wife Luciferina try to impede the shepherds from going to Bethlehem to adore the way it shows the temptations that child Jesus, the shepherds tri- Satan offers the good people who want to follow God's purposes. umph over evil.

Can I Stay up to See Santa? By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer child question whether Santa is real or not? Is it that they did not like the presents they got the year before "Is Santa Clause real?" or is it that the stories of St. Nick have been so radically transformed This question has been asked to during the years that it is difficult to almost every parent at least once in believe in them anymore? his or her lifetime. Many parents are not ready to look straight into a The history about St. Nick dates child's face and tell them that Santa as far back as the fourth century, is not real. Yet who are parents to when a wealthy Christian bishop judge what is real and what is not made a name for himself by giving real? Many parents of today are too many gifts to poor children. A fter wrapped into working all the time his death, the Christian church that they don't rejoice and see the named Dec. 6 a day of remembrance world around them, let alone figure for the bishop. He then became known as Father Christmas and was out if a Santa really exists. from that point forever linked with In today's day and age, parents the holiday. Like his name, Santa have stopped believing in something Clause, his attire was not always in which they have believed for all the standard red and white suit that of their childhood. What makes a we know of today; it changed from story to story. Some stories had him wearing a purple or blue suit, and other stories called him an elf. In the 1930's, Coca Cola officially hired Santa Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa Clause as the Santa that we know today, sporting the traditional red and white company colors. Many of the stories that came about from this bishop were based on legends and mythical creatures. One legend, which is known, is that he carried around a bag-full of toys and rode on a flying sled that was pulled by reindeer. In 1822 Clemente Moore wrote a series of poems and named all the reindeer that pulled the sled. Although Rudolph was not one of the eight original reindeer that Moore described, he was the most popular. Rudolph was merely a byproduct of the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May. Advertising plays a major role in our life by shaping our beliefs and traditions. Many times it is hard to tell whether an event from the past really happened or not, because of the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much. So next time when a child looks at you with their big brown eyes and asks you the question I asked in the beginning of the article, think about the ramifications it could have if a child does not have hope.

A fter returning from the Thanksgiving break, all the work I've saved on the desktop and in My Documents for the entire semester has magically returned. Even the work I had erased from the desktop two months ago is back. However, during the two weeks or so when the "glitch" had occurred, the work that I saved has still not returned.

Porpoise pens and other porpoise memorabilia started showing up around the office but he didn't. His arrogant behavior was trying to cover up the fact he had poor writing skills and in the long run was fired. This is just one incident that shows how High School English is important. Not all jobs need college but in most jobs, reading and writing are needed. So here are the facts: US History of Literature I & II and English Literature I & II are required courses that have not been offered in the evening at all since I have been attending CSUSM. I can understand that there are not a lot of electives offered but it would really help if the required courses were offered in the evening. Not all of them, but a series offered on some sort of yearly rotating basis would be nice. teaching where my starting salary will be $36,000 since I can't really leave the San Diego area.

I have been attending CSUSM Starting my day at around 6:00am and ending it at around 9:00pm, as I walked across Palomar's parking lot, I found myself thinking on a regular basis, Long Day's Journey Into Night. It felt okay, though, because somehow I thought I would be rewarded, and I passed on all the weekend events that I was invited to because studying needed to be done. question. Plus, if you are attending classes in the evening, it's really hard to just stop off on your way in because evening traffic is tough and it's usually a sprint from the parking lot to get to class on time. Let's try some other departments. The Career and Assessment Center has the same hours asfinancialaid office. The parking permit office hours are 9:00-5:00, Monday through Thursday and closes early on Friday. Everything closes early on Friday, which makes me think: couldn't they stay open later one night to compensate for leaving at 2:00 or 3:00 on Friday? The Community Service Learning Center hours are also 8:00-5:00. Here is another really important department especially for me, the Writing Center; this also closes at 6: 00. I have never been there and my professors are concerned that I can't write a formal argumentative paper. Actually, I am concerned too, unfortunately I can't get any help! I feel that something's lacking regarding the importance relating to the power of the written word. That and evening students are not wanted at CSUSM.

It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. When I was a smoker we were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke in people's faces but I did smoke in buildings. I quit smoking while attending a junior college. Our college was putting into effect a smoke free campus. I was even on the committee. I fought hard for smoker's rights. One thing did come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away from the people traffic, most of them were in parking areas. Smokers complained at first, but were great after a while. The only problem we were having was who was going to be the 'cops'. I know they have solved the problem by now though. But now for CSUSM, the smokers definitely need to get away from the doors and hall ways. The smoke is quite disturbing. I also hold by breath when walking by these students. I am an asthmatic and the smoke does irritate my lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to put the ashtrays away from the buildings. They need to be in open areas. When it rains, we all have umbrellas. To smokers: Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways. Smoke in open areas and try to quit. It will save your life. I watched my mother and her husband die because of smoking and it was a very ugly sight. I was not ready to quit at the time but it wasn't much longer before I did. Our campus has many resources when you are ready to quit. Dorothy Bruno Senior-LTWR The Smoke i nthe Air Forget about finals, midterms, papers, or cramming for surprise quizzes; my biggest struggle is breathing. Every morning I struggle to make it up the numerous flights of stairs leading to the campus, only to face the clouds of cigarette smoke that hang in the air morning, noon, and night. Which is why I was so pleased to see Steven Zamora's article "Cigarette Smoking: A School Problem" in the last issue of the Pride. This article addressed the problem... I feel that I must strenuously address the problem of smoking on campus. Aside from the issi^e of second hand smoke which I do feel is a pressing concern, the issue of students with respiratory problems (myself included) are at risk to dangerous toxins that have severe negative effects. in order to get a small amount of oxygen into my lungs.

You are shutting out parents who have been heavily involved in volunteering their time and making donations to the school. Do you realize that the tuition increase for non-funded community parents who have their children in three days a week part-time will be from $216 a month to $640 a month? And even if a family could afford it, not everyone wants their children in preschool full-time. A large number of children at the ELC attend two or three days a week, half day. The availability of this schedule is part of the reason the ELC is such a terrific program. Many parents use the ELC as a quality preschool experience for their children, not as a full-time day care setting. What is disturbing is that these changes were made without soliciting any input from the non-funded families. We were not invited to the grant meeting where the reasons for the ELC dropping the CDE Preschool Grant were discussed. These changes came as a total shock to many, and it is upsetting to think that our children may not be able to finish out their The ELC is, hands-down, the best preschool last semester at the ELC. program in North County.

Dozens of public places have adopted policies where they have designated certain areas as smoking zones, and have left others as smoke free areas; couldn't Cal State San Marcos do the same? Thanks, Alison Sayer Freshmen La Pastorela According to Rick Moore's latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire, he states that our publicly funded university is going to play host to Pastorela: a traditional Mexican holiday. This original Spanish production brings together Cal State San Marcos students and community members in a festive presentation of a traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time understanding why and how this religious "production" that has its roots in Christianity, can actually be allowed to be presented on campus. Is it because its organizers thought that it is harmless? A fter all, aren't they just "getting in the spirit of Christmas?" Doesn't this _ production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would hopefully be relegated or limited to being shown in a church rather than the academy??

The preschool has run into fiscal difficulty, and as a result, drastic changes in the childrens' class schedules are being implemented next semester. I am forwarding you a copy of a petition that I am currently circulating at the preschool, protesting these changes. I will be delivering the petition to Keith Speers, Executive Director of ASI, at 10 am on December 12. While the majority of students at CSUSM are not parents, these changes at the preschool are of major concern to the students and staff members who are. Starting March 1, all student parents will be required to have their children The result of these changes is that the preschool will become inaccessible to most parents due to scheduling and monetary constraints. It undoubtedly will spell the end of the program in the long run, which will mean student parents will not have a campus preschool option for their children. This issue may be a deciding factor of where to attend school for many student parents. I wanted to share the information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

Clarke had previ­ ously assisted the athletic depart­ ment through other grants. She died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age of 83 and became the largest single donor to Cal State San Marcos, with gifts totally nearly $4 million. “The grant has not increased our budget, it only provides secu­ rity,” said Steve Scott, head track coach. The endowment’s pur­ pose is to support the scholar­ ships for student-athletes in the campus’ golf, cross-country and track programs. Nonetheless, only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil­ lions will be distributed each year, starting next fiscal year. If the percentage of the invest­ ment is more than 5 percent, the university foundation will invest theVest into the original princi­ pal’s amount. According to Scott, “The University Foundation handles all the money, the grant will be invested and due to certain guidelines and regulations, only 5 percent goes to the scholar­ ship program.” This means that approximately $130,000 will go to 40 track and field, 14 golf and 20 cross-country athletes. The CSUSM Foundation is a nonprofit, auxiliary organiza­ tion that aims to advance the goals of the university through commercial enterprises, busi­ ness services; the administra­ tion of grants and contracts, and financial management.

The campus lecture began Palast’s three-day San Diego book tour. After introductions from CSUSM’s Democrat Club member, political science pro­ fessor Dr. Mike Byron and Congressman Bob Filner, Palast covered topics ranging from the fall and corruption of Enron to the skewed voting polls of Flor­ ida, which led to the “theft of the election,” according to Palast. He also made some bold statements about Bush and pos­ sible business ties with the bin Laden family. “These people are nice people ... we know because we’re business partners,” he said mimicking a »>A rticle cont. on pg. 11 One Student W alks Out on L iberal Speakers By Melanie Addington Arts Editor Journalist Greg Palast and Congressman Bob Filner Pride Photo/Melannie Addington Although one student walked out on Greg Palast, . investigative journalist, as he drew connections between President Bush and the Alqaeda network on Monday, March 18 at Cal State San Marcos, the rest of the audi­ ence, packed into ACD 102, stayed to listen to Palast dis­ cuss investigations into Enron, Bush, 9-11 and other “followthe-money” scandals. »A rticle cont. on pg. 11 �Free Issues of the New York Times BY JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer , Free issues of The New York Times and The San Diego Union Tribune will continue to be available at newsstands around campus until the last week of March. This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program brought to CSUSM by the Asso­ ciated Students, Inc (ASI). The program has been instated on a trial basis in order to ascertain how many students pick up and read the paper(s). “The decision to keep the program depends on funding. If we can partner up with other offices on campus - then the program will most likely stay. If ASI is solely responsible for the funding, then it depends on cost, etc,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs. The newspapers will be on newsstands in the Dome corri­ dor, in front of the library, in front of the ASI office (Com­ mons 203), on the second floor of University Hall and near the Newspaper Stands for the Pilot Pro­ gram.

The New York Times is known as “a newspaper of record,” said Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall, a history profes­ sor at CSUSM. “Getting in the habit of reading The New York Times is good for stu­ dents, especially if they have access to it,” added Sepim wall. “The program appears to be showing signs of success, with empty racks at the end of the day,” said Brown. There has been no approximation of how long it will take after the pilot program is finished to establish when the perma­ nent program will be pro­ posed for approval. The cost, if approved, “depends on how many papers we go with, what papers we decide to distribute and how many per day. It’s hard to give an estimate at this time,” Brown said.

Pride Photos/James Newell New Library Has First Accident CFA Ratifies Contract By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer At approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. March 19, a column from the initial framework of the new library fell. No one was injured when the 85-foot-tall steel column fell, and the struc­ ture incurred only minor dam­ ages, including chipped concrete and broken wooden handrails. The 10-ton vertical column stands with anchor bolts and lev­ eling nuts to hold it in place. To install a horizontal beam, the crane supporting the column must let go of the vertical column to pick up the horizontal beam. When it was released, the ver­ tical beam let loose. According to Don Price, construction man­ ager, “The column just wasn’t secure enough.” The incident could have been extremely damaging. “If it had fallen in any other direction, it Library Under Construction. Pride Photo/James Newell potentially could have hit the crane or the retaining walls,” said Price. “[The incident] in no way damages the integrity of the building” One-half to two-thirds of the column is no longer usable and has been discarded. Visibly and structurally, the damaged column is much shorter than the rest, but construction continues. “This [incident] will in no way slow down construction,” said Price. The incident was reportedly due to subcontractor McMahon Steel’s technique of using only one crane to accomplish the job. “The technique the contractor was using isn’t allowed any­ more,” said Price, who guaran­ teed it will not happen again. The contractor must now use two cranes. “If you look, there are now two cranes. One crane hold­ ing the column, and one crane installing the beam,” he added. Although the incident hasn’t slowed down construction, it was costly. The damage done will cost approximately $20,000. “[McMahon] has to pay all the losses. It’s not coming out of the taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said. For now, the construction team will install the horizontal beams on the second and third floors, waiting approximately another month until the broken column can be spliced. Accord­ ing to Price, “A field splice is very common and easy to do.” After the splice is done, the team will be able to complete the framework of the fourth and fifth floors as well as the roof. “On a positive note, the library should be finished by summer 2003, and we broke ground for the Clark Field House today, [March 20],” said Price, reiterating that one such inci­ dent will not stop the growth of CSUSM. cess in bargaining to activism »>Article cont. from pg. 1 “This contract ratification of faculty across the system. vote demonstrates the intense The Teach-Ins, demonstrations at interest on the part of CFA CSU Board of Trustees’ meeting membership and how strongly and other events which involved they feel about the need for a Charles Reed (CSU Chancellor) change in direction on the part of were a major factor in strengththe CSU Administration,” said ening our bargaining position,” Susan Meisenhelder, CFA presi­ said Diehr. dent. “The trend toward increas­ Mary Elizabeth Stivers, a ing administrative spending and member of the bargaining team decreasing instructional spend­ on the CSU side and associate ing is one that threatens the “ TheCFA will continue to pursue quality of edu­ the objective o f reducing the ratio cation at the CSU.” o f students to tenure-track faculty, a A salary ratio that has grown front about 25 to gap of 10.6 per­ 1 to 30 to 1 over the past cent between CSU faculty -George Diehr and faculty at " compar abl e vice president for Academic institutions around the nation Affairs, said, “I’m glad that it was confirmed in last month’s (the negotiations) is resolved, California Postsecondary Educa­ and we will begin to implement tion Commission’s annual com­ the changes.” pensation report.

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

The cafe opened with four employees on Dec. 1,1997. While DuBois had originally intended to serve only coffee and pas­ tries, he had so many requests for sandwiches that the cafe began serving food within the first month, and began catering not long after. “As a favor, we catered a Chamber of Commerce event that President Gonzalez was at, and he inquired about catering. At the time, the business was really taking a turn toward catering,” DuBois said. The cafe has since catered many of the events at CSUSM, and will continue to do so. Power Surge will also con­ tinue to provide sandwiches to The Educated Bean, the campus coffee stand. Harry E.

Over the years, Oberem has earned more than 10 awards and scholarships for his work in physics and chemistry and com­ puter science. He was also a nom­ inee for the CSUSM President’s Award for innovation in teach­ ing last year. His research has focused on the development of intelligent computer tutors for introductory physics classes that have a spe­ cial natural language system enabling the program to con­ duct a realistic dialogue with students. He has developed numerous computer programs to teach physics and other sub­ jects including ALBERT, FREEBODY and PHOTOELECTRIC. ALBERT is a physics prob­ lem-solving monitor and coach designed to teach students how to solve problems in one-dimen­ sional kinematics. It records the entire dialogue with the students for later review by the instructor. This output reads like an inter­ view transcript and is useful for tracking student progress in a Dr. Oberem Loves Teaching. Pride Photo/Lisa Lipsey class and for research in problem solving. ALBERT is most useful for students at high school and introductory college level. FREEBODY is an intelli­ gent computer tutor that stu­ dents use to practice drawing free-body diagrams. The student draws vectors on the computer to represent the forces acting in a given physical situation and types in a description of each force. FREEBODY was a winner in the fifth annual Computers in Physics National Software Com­ petition in 1994. PHOTOELECTRIC is an advanced computer tutor that helps students develop a proper understanding of the photoelec­ tric effect. This program pres­ ents students with an electric circuit and allows them to draw a graph freehand on the com­ puter screen. The computer can interpret the graph and use the results to design an interaction with the student. It uses a sim­ ilar dialogue system to discuss the photoelectric concepts with a student in plain English. * ^History and software infor­ mation contributed by Dr. Oberem. �R aising Abuse & Assault Awareness Written and Compiled By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor * ration from others and self, and restricted range of emotions, such as inability to have loving feel­ ings.

A survivor’s attitude toward his/her body may be negatively affected. This change may lead to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse, overeating, self-mutilation, etc.) The survivor may find it diffi­ cult to trust and to be intimate with others. She/he may not want sexual intimacy for some time or may engage in risky sexual behaviors. Common Phases: Survivors often go through three general phases. (The phases do not always occur in the order listed below.) Phase One: This phase may last a few days to several weeks. The survivor may experience .shock and severe distress, con­ fusion, disorientation, anger, and rage. Phase Two: The survivor often wishes to forget the inci­ dent and return to “normal.” It is common to want to suppress feel­ ings in order to forget about the incident and regain control. How­ ever, the crisis is not resolved. Phase Three: The survivor is ready to begin to deal with the feelings associated with the assault/abuse. This phase usually involves re-experiencing feelings, thoughts, and memories of the assault/abuse. This healing pro­ cess may vary in duration. * Throughout all three phases, survivors need supportive people (friends, family, loved ones.)

How to help a survivor of sexual assault/abuse — “Sometimes I hear my voice and ifs been here, silent all these years.7 -iori Amos. * Talk, listen, respect and be emotionally available to the sur­ vivor. Accept what the survivor tells you. Accept the fact that the assault/abuse happened. Under­ stand that it is not the survivor’s fault. Do not blame the survivor. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted or abused, even when you feel poor judgments were made by the survivor. Do not blame yourself either. The only person who is at fault is the person who committed the crime. Suggest options and actions (medical, psychological and other assistance), but let the survivor decide what action to take. Let the survivor talk about the inci­ dent, but don’t force a discus­ sion. Respect and understand that temporarily the survivor may become distant from loved ones. Assure the survivor that you will be available to provide support throughout the process of recov­ ery. Give the survivor time to heal. Moderate your natural ten­ dencies to become overprotective. The survivor may need to seek medical attention immedi­ ately. You can help by encour­ aging and accompanying the survivor to obtain medical atten­ tion. If the survivor wishes to seek criminal action, this should be done as soon as possible.

In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti­ mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent). Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person. Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care, whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime receivedpost-rape medical care. It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police. Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during a date. Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col­ lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus. In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe­ trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was involved at the time of the incident. Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not family or school officials. Copyright 2002 National Center for Victims of Crime . WashingtQn, DC �RAD Class: No Men are-A llowed By JAMIEKO LANE Pride Staff Writer “You are a resource to every woman you know,” said Officer Mario Samz. head instructor of the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) program, in closing at the last of the four three-hour training classes for Basic Rape Aggression Defense. One major fear many women hold is that of being raped. It’s a realistic fear, since a national statistic holds that one out of every four college women will be sexually assaulted during her four years i n college. One way that colleges around the world are trying to lower those odds is through Basic R.A.D. Basic R.A.D was designed specifically for women, to show them not only how to defend themselves if they are attacked, but also to show them how to prevent being raped. In 12 hours, a deceivingly short amount of time, participants are able to learn about how to become more aware of surroundings, the do’s and don’ts of surviving an attack, and of course, defense techniques. I recently graduated from the Basic R.A.D. course here on campus. During the beginning of the course, Barbara Sainz, the wife of Officer Sainz as well as a certified instructor of R.A.D., asked us about our expectations of the class to ensure that we were being realistic. Many just wanted to feel more secure as a woman, be it because they worked odd hours, lived in a shady neigh­ borhood, or just wanted to be a more confident and self-reliant woman. At the end of the course we reviewed what we had said to see if we reached our goals, and I must say that not only did we succeeded at doing so, but we went above and beyond our expectations. One thing stressed through­ out the course was that no men could be involved in our train­ ing, with the exception of our male instructors. We could not practice with a male, and males were unable to attend any of the four sessions. “Unfortunately, it is your boyfriend, husband or even your friend that you might one day have to defend yourself against,” said Sainz. R.A.D. Class. Pride Photo The course was not only fun, but truly effective. The tech­ niques we were taught are func­ tional and for the most part easy to do. The key to the course is prac­ tice - practicing the techniques as well as practicing saying no. As fun as it was, we were still able to take away much more than any of us expected. “We’re not sup­ posed to be tough. It’s good to know I can defend myself ... I learned much more than I thought I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy, a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware of everything now,” said Tracey Veres, a freshman at CSUSM. The final class meeting is a simulation. “You will be able to practice everything you learn. If you freeze this is the place to do it, so we can coach you through it and hopefully prevent you from freezing if a situation were to really occur,” said Sainz. During the simulation, the two instruc­ tors, Officer Mario Sainz and Officer Marlin Estepa, as well as retired Officer John Smithers, an instructor of instructors of R.A.D., all suited up and simu­ lated attacking;us so we could practice what we learned. Bar­ bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith­ ers, both certified instructors, made sure that the scenarios were safe and that we were using the techniques practiced to our full advantage. At least half of the class was so excited about their end results that they want to be able to teach women the art of R.A.D. by becoming R.A.D. instructors. These women also spoke of form­ ing a club that would enable them to continue practicing together and promote the awareness of sexual assault to other women on campus. “We could post flyers and have a booth like all the other clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior at CSUSM. “We could try to hold sessions to educate people, try to convince other women to take R.A.D. and practice ” said Nowothy. R.A.D. is held at least three times a year on the CSUSM campus. “We try to hold as many as possible, but space is limited,” said Sainz. The fee to attend the Basic R.A.D. course is only $20 and for this cost, any woman at any age is able to attend as many times as they’d like, with no limitation on visits. During the summer, an advanced course will be offered, which enhances basic skills and teaches participants how to handle certain weapons. According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM who took the course, “Previous to R.A.D, I thought of myself as a woman who carried herself with confidence and could react in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself with confidence and can react well in a threatening situation. It confirms your ability to defend yourself; and anyone who takes it has the tools to never be a victim.” CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) attended the California Higher Edu­ cation Student Summit’s annual confer­ ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby against student tuition* fee increases and to support the Facilities Bond Measure. The forum, held this year in Sacramento, was open to all California State Univer­ sity (CSU) student representatives. The attendees participated in leadership work­ shops, listened to guest speakers and vis­ ited with legislators who represent the San Diego area. ASI members were informed during the conference that the budget deficit Cal­ ifornia faces “will require many [educa­ tional] programs across the state to be cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord­ ing to the California State Student Asso­ ciation (CSSA) press release. During their visits with members of several legislative offices, ASI members strongly urged those in power not to increase student fees. “If tuition fees are increased, this will decrease accessibility and affordability for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI vice president of External Affairs, who attended the conference. . A similar situation occurred in the early 1990s, during the last budget crisis, and, according to the CSSA press release, fees for the CSU “skyrocketed and many students were forced to delay or cancel tina’s deli 760 D.

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

Keating and Clark plan to shoot the movie for the big screen this summer. Along with her Navajo friend Dolores Brown, Keating has been working on “Spider Woman” for a few years now. “For a long time I’ve thought to do a story about Navajo women, because the women that I’ve worked with in Thoreau (New Mexico) were just so impressive.” Keating, who has written many stage plays, explained that the motivation for writing a screenplay was based on the simple fact that, ‘‘you really can’t separate Navajo cul­ ture from the land. They go together really intimately.” Growing up in a 100-percent white suburb of Sacramento in the 1950s, Keating felt an early urge to explore cultural diversity. Her intense interest in Native Ameri­ can culture emerged throughout her three years of volunteer work on an Indian mission in central Washington. Not only did she find passion for her work, but also for her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu­ cation teacher at CSUSM. Their romance soon resulted in mar­ riage, and together they decided to change setting and follow their friends to America’s big­ gest Indian reservation in New Mexico to teach at a Navajo High School. For 22 years they lived and worked on the reservation in a little town named Thoreau. The fictional story “Spider Woman,” which is set in the same New Mexican location in which Keating used tp work and live, is centered around three gener­ ations of women in a Navajo family, although, according to Keating, “there are lots of guys in it, too.” The main character is a young woman in her twen­ ties, who was adopted by a white family when she was a baby, and who later decides to go back to her roots and find her Navajo family. The storyline is reflected in the title of the screenplay: “Spider Woman.” According to Navajo mythology, Keating explained, there is a very powerful entity called spider woman, who lives on spider rock in Arizona. She is part of the Navajo creation story, in which she helps two lost broth­ ers find their father. In Keating’s screenplay, it is the young Navajo woman who travels to Arizona in order to approach spider women for help to find her family. Keating proudly explained, “We’ve been dealing with a pro­ fessional producer who agreed to produce the movie a year and a half ago. He saw the script and really liked it.” Clark, whose tele­ vision and film credits include “A Man Called Hawk” and “The Court-Martial of Jackie Robin­ son,” has been inlhe business for 25 years. According to Keating, he got tired of the whole orga­ nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to go independent a few years ago. “We were just lucky enough to get our script to him at a point where he was looking for proj­ ects,” Keating said. Clark promoted the script among many friends in the media business, all of who agreed to be part of the project. At that point, Keating realized that her dream was about to become reality and that she needed to start raising some seed money. “In order to attach people to a project and do some other very basic preproduction and put together a business plan, you need some money!” Friends, family, co-workers and other teachers in the com­ munity were the initial investors, and so Keating was able to raise an initial $ 80,000, which covered the business plan and enabled her to sign director Charles Mills and a couple of actors. For Mills, who has been a cinematographer for many years in the entertainment industry, the screenplay “Spider Woman” will be his first directing job. Mills surely will be able to draw from his big-budget studio expe­ riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II and the independent film Boyz in the Hood, for which he received awards for cinematography. Keating said, “We haven’t cast any of the Navajo parts yet and, of course, that’s going to be the vast majority. But we have cast two of the supporting roles that are non-Navajo.” One of the more recognizable actors is Richard Grieco, who did a lot of television in the 80s, includ­ ing the hit-series “Booker” and “21 Jump Street.’’ Because of his recent work in many indepen­ dent movies, Grieco found fame and fortune in Europe. Although he is better known abroad than in the States, Keating explained, “One of the considerations we look for in putting together the business plan is to bring people on board that, when we go to sell the distribution rights for Europe and Japan and so on, there are names that those distributors rec­ ognize.” Another supporting role has been given to actor David Strathaim, who gained his work­ ing experience in dozens of movies and TV sedes, including the film L.A. Confidential. While Keating plans to begin shooting in New Mexico this summer, she and her production team are still faced with a lot of fundraising work in order to cover the movie’s costs. Keating explained, “the two things we are working on are a distribution deal and the financing. To actually finish pre-production, shoot the movie, do post-production and some marketing, we figure the budget for that is going to be $1.2 million.” She also emphasized the amazing location of the produc­ tion location. “The area we are going to shoot is just absolutely magnificent. It’s gorgeous!” Keating has confidence in “Spider Woman’s” success on the big screen: “We’ve got two name actors signed and all the other people in the business plan have resumes as long as your arm. They are just really experienced people.” CELEBRATE WITH A •Im m sd ia te H e a iJin tiliU I Insurance * Profit-sharing •Paid Vacation •Tuition Reimbursement •Outstanding 401k Savings MAIL BOXES ETC A UPS* Company MBE centers ere independently owned and operated franchises.

Well, how about Santa Barbara? I know what you’re thinking. Santa Barbara. Who wants to drive four hours each way? Well you don’t have to. You can take Amtrak for as little as $15 each way, which is relatively the same as gas, maybe even cheaper. Amtrak offers things that a car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil­ lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and your choice of many alcoholic beverages, as well as food. The train is a great substitute for driv­ ing to Santa Barbara for many reasons. One particular reason that jumps to my mind is LA traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not only LA traffic, but you also get great coastal views the whole way up, that may include views of dolphins and, at this time O f year, whales. The best way to get started on your weekend adventure is to plan if you’re going to stay for one or two nights. If you’re going to stay two nights, definitely try and leave as early as possible on Friday. If not, leave early Sat­ urday morning. Once yOu get to Santa Barbara the possibilities are endless. If you like beaches, I suggest that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across the street and go to Carpinteria State Beach. If you choose to do this, you will have about two to three hours to kill, which can be spent on the beach or walk­ ing around the little downtown. After that time, you can catch the later train and continue on your A downtown mall, art galleries and trendy clothing shops. If. that’s not your scene, check out out a matinee, that only costs $4.50, in the plaza with your student ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will turn into night, and this is when the real fun starts. Santa Barbara’s downtown goes off on Friday and Saturday nights. There are 18 bars and five clubs on State Street. No matter what your style, whether you like to get dressed up or not, State Street has something to BREAK? Santa Barbara has something for everyone. My idea is to get out of San Diego for the weekend and enjoy everything that the Califor­ nia Coast has to offer. The trains leave Solana Beach daily at four different times, any­ where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m. Solana Beach is the only Amtrak station in San Diego County that lets you leave your car for free for up to one week. All trains I k e take approximately five hours to reach Santa Barbara. For exact arrival and depar­ ture times, call 1-800-USARAIL. For cheap motels and hotels in Santa Barbara I suggest www.santabarbarahotels.com or www.sblocal.com. Or, you can always type in Cheap Motels & Hotels in any search engine’s keyword box. 4 -1 -{ When: Thursday, April 11,2002,11am - 3pm Where: Dome Plaza An Environmentally Themed Event Featuring: Santa Barabara State Street Photo Courtesy o f http://www.conciergesantabarbara.com/sb_tour.htm- way to Santa Barbara. The train lets you off right on State Street, which is the main street in downtown Santa Bar­ bara and where all the action is. State Street is 13 blocks long and offers artsy coffeehouses, sushi bars, dance clubs and lots of fun. Once on State Street, you have many options, including the offer everyone, from dive bars to trendy clubs such as Joe’s Cafe, Q’s, So Ho, Wildcat Lounge, Madison’s and Roy. The more upscale places have covers rang­ ing from $5-$10. The scene is pretty comparable to downtown San Diego, and if you want to go to the more trendy places you’re going to have to dress like it.

Danny Elfman with Oingo Boingo �Surf Team ends First Regular Season JOY WHITMAN for The Pride The Cal State San Marcos’ Surf team competed in its last regular season event on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach. Key surf­ ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan McHenry, who earned 11 points. The team placed seventh overall with a total of 23 points. Despite a lingering cold, Dema- rino, the team’s bodyboarder, won his first heat and also claimed his first victory since his return to competition. He per­ formed well in following rounds and advanced to finals, earning third place overall in the College Bodyboarding Division. Fairbanks looked great in his first two rounds of the longboard competition and received two consecutive first places. In round three, Fairbanks just missed the transfer spot and did not advance to finals. McHenry performed well for the first two rounds but just could not get any open waves to help advance him to round three. Despite the absence of Captain Dave Kincannon, who has been out for the past two competi­ tions with a broken leg, and the absence of Julie Russell, who had prior commitments, the CSUSM team placed 8th overall in the regular season. S u rf Team A d v a n eem en t is c r e d ite d to G reat T alent JOY WHITMAN for The Pride Saint Patrick’s Day entailed drinking in more sun rays, waves and wins than alcohol for the Cal State San Marcos’ Surf Team. The State Championships for the NSSA College Team Season was held on March 17 at Churches Beach in San Clemente, located just north of the San Onofre power plant. It was .an exciting competition between rivals Sad­ dleback and Mira Costa Com­ munity Colleges, but two top seeds helped Saddleback clinch the title. Contributing to Saddleback’s success, Coach Mark Mackleroy replaced two members of his team with exceptional standouts who regularly compete for the Pro Surfing Tour of America (PSTA) between the regular and postseason. The first round was a little intimidating for CSUSM, since only seven of nine members were available to compete, but the team pulled through with the talent of those who did compete and placed 8th out of 18 teams, which was good enough to qual­ ify for nationals. For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks and Scott Chebagia each earned 12 points, but still missed advanc­ ing from the third round into the quarter finals. Bodyboarder George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter­ rific performances and advanced to finals, placing third and fourth, respectively. The CSUSM team earned a total of 48 points, which was not far from the fifth-place finisher UCSB Vector, who racked up 56 points overall. After placing in the top 12 in the State Championship, the surf team has earned a spot in the Nationals, which will be held over the summer in Dana Point and will see schools from across the country compete for the national title. With the predicted return of shortboarder Dave Kincan­ non and Julie Russel, competing in the girl’s round, the CSUSM team could easily tack on an additional 20 or more points, making fourth place at nationals a very reachable goal. Congratu­ lations, team, on a very success­ ful firstseason and keep up the good work. The Men’s G olf Team Finishes in Fourth Place CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Editor On March 19, the Golf team participated at the Diablo Grande Collegiate Golf Tournament in Pattersdn, California. The team finished in fourth place with a team score of 973 (325-334-314). The tournament was hosted by Drake University of Des Moines, Iowa, at the Diablo Grande Golf Course. The Ranch Course is an i8-hole, 72-par, 7,200-yard championship course. “It turned out to be a good tournament,” said Head Coach Fred Hanover. “It’s a really nice course, and I think the guys learned from the experience. These results will pay off at regionals,” The NAIA Western Regionals will take place April 21-23, with the location to be announced. Individual scores: Ryan Axlund, freshman shot a 239 (77-82-80), Nick Micheli, sophomore shot a 243 (79-82-82), freshmen Ryan Rancatore, shot a 244 (88-83-73), Kellen Wag­ oner, shot a 249 (81-87-81), and Jonathan Ochoa shot a 260 (93-87-80). W illiam s Hurdles into H istory at Cal State San M arcos By JESSICA KRONE Pride Staff Writer Freshman Jason E. Williams is proudly representing Cal State San Marcos as one of the best track and field hurdlers in the nation. Williams has recently competed in several meets, con­ tending with some of the top schools and competitors in the country. Williams placed third in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles at the Trojan Invitational at USC, with a time of 53.43 seconds. This mark qualified him for the National Association of Intercol­ legiate Athletics (NAlA) Nation­ als in Kansas this May. He my school,” said Williams. He maintains his exceptional marks by taking practice seriously and remaining “focused and always visualize running each race,” said Williams’ Not only does he . practice everyday with the track and field team, he also wakes up at six in the morning and “‘road runs’ (runs the streets),” said Williams. “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the best,” insisted Williams. The easily recognizable 6 -foot-5-inch twenty-year-old is majoring in communications and has maintained a 3.2 G.P.A. His mom is a vice-principal “I practice to win and you always have to do something a little extra to be the -Jason Williams placed first in both the Benny Brown Invitational at Cal State Fullerton with a mark of 52.52 and at the San Diego State Uni­ versity Aztec Invitational with a 52.97. In the California/Nevada State Championship, Williams finished with a 52.10 mark, which placed him second. Williams has been invited to the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, which he is really looking for­ ward to. “All the top colleges and elite runners in the world will be there,” said Williams. Williams also faces the chal­ lenge of improving his times, because he does not always com­ pete with high-level competitors. At this point, CSUSM is not yet well known for its athletics. “The great thing about track is that it doesn’t matter what school you come from, as long as you put up a good time. People recognize me for my time, not and Williams was “raised in a family where grades and educa­ tion come first. I always have to find time for school. Sometimes, I miss practice to study for a test, but my coach knows I will make up for it,” said Williams. His coach Wes Williams (no relation) has. been an inspiration to him and is the major reason why he transferred from Colo­ rado State to run for the Cou­ gars. He received a scholarship at Colorado State, but for per­ sonal reasons and because of the cold weather, Williams decided to come to San Marcos to be trained by his new mentor, coach Williams.

They are not only returning, but have been with the team since it started ~ three years ago. “They make the team more like a team,” said Wil­ liams. The sprinters count with a great athlete from the Colorado State University, Jason Williams. Williams, has already qualified for the NAIA Championships. “He is an outstanding athlete and has a very promising future,” said Wes Williams. In addition, Autumn Wright has also had a great performance and currently has the best time on the West Coast. She transferred from Palomar College. Coaches often times have great goals for their teams and CSUSM is not an exception. Coach Williams wants to have 15-17 sprinters qualified for the NAIA Championship. And Coach Steve Scott wants the same, along with at least four All-American athletes. It is pos­ sible, since the team boasts three returning All-Americans. m The track team prac­ tices Monday-Thursday at 3p.m., on the track field. Friday and weekend prac­ tices depend on upcoming meets. This past Satur­ day, the Cougars competed at San Diego State’s Aztec Invitational. “It was a very competitive race and future meets will be even more competitive,” added both of the coaches. The National Associa­ tion of Intercollegiate Ath­ letics (NAIA) Nationals is scheduled for May 23-25 in Olathe, Kansas. Next track meet will be at Point Loma Nazarene on April 6, 2002.

Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives. Submissions: I §£ , .-M ? -V - i r I"7," * ’• • ’ 'v" . .*• •• | ■ ■ ■. * . if - ' " *. ♦ ,- Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writ­ ing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff and faculty contributions will also be considered. Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions. For judging and layout purposes: Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail, phone number, and major or graduate field of study to: The Pride Mailbox “Student and Residential Life” Office Commons 207 Also* E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an elec­ tronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or disks will not be returned.

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