Lorena Barraza, CSUSM student,
daughter, sister, friend, community activist. According to North County Times,
fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal
collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday
shortly after midnight, she was driving
with a male friend whose name was not
released, west on the 76 highway during
the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota

Early Learning
Center's future
questioned
BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM's Early Learning Center has
provided help for the moms and dads
on campus for nearly three years and in
the fall, the Early Learning Center will
move into a new facility, The Center
for Children and Families.
The ELC was made to fit the needs
of children and their parents who are
struggling to get along with college life
and a family. The ELC offers a place
for volunteer students to work and to
become close to the children and their
families. But now the bonds that have
been made between the employees
and children and their families might
be broken. Since the Early Learning
Center is moving into its new building,
the current working staff has not been
guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families.
The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center
was funded on tax revenue that came
from tobacco smokers which was
approved by the First 5 Commission.
The Center for Children and Families
is licensed to serve 190 children from
infants to pre-kindergartners. The total
number of families served is expected
to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many
areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy
development.
Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of
the ELC, said that the center will not
be run by ASI any longer, but it will
be run by the university instead. "The
ELC is separate from the organizations
on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of
the workers are students here with the
exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the
running for children and families. The
ELC will no longer be existing; the
new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State."
Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3

head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.
According to Celia Martinez, Barraza held a teller position with Bank of
America, majored in accounting, and was,
"Deeply involved with the campus community. In 2005-2006 she held the position
of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was
involved with this year's MEChA High
School Conference, and in previous years
the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza
Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with

the time willing to volunteer her time not
only with MEChA, but also with other
organizations on campus."
On Thurs. April 26, students held a candlelight vigil in her memory. The legacy
of Lorena's community and volunteer
work survives in the hearts of her friends
in CSUSM's MEChA. Angie Alvarado,
MEChA president, shared, "She made

nationally known speaker Rev. Dr.
Jamie Washington visited CSUSM
on Tues. April 24 and held a discussion with students titled, Who am
I? Isms, Identities and Inequities.
As a trainer and consultant on mul-
ticulturalism, Rev. Dr. Washington aided students in realizing the
dynamics of having multiple social
identities and why it is important to
be aware of those identities.
Just before Bridget Blanshan,
the Dean of Students, introduced
Rev. Dr. Washington, she said,

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students Inc. is looking
to build another branch of services for
CSUSM students. By the fall of 2008, ASI
hopes to complete the construction of the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer
Intersex and Ally Center. The center is
still in its early stages, but with a recently
appointed committee, ASI will examine
the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses
and look to other models for CSUSM's
center.
Former ASI President, Roy Lee said,
"It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be
University operated or ASI, the intent, to
my knowledge has always been there. As
ASI has grown, questions about the third
center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center
have been established, the goal for this
center's construction and formation began.
The ASI BOD has voted unanimously
to research and strategically open the
LGBTQIA Center by 2008." .
ASI Arts and Sciences Representative,
Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning,
President of LGBTA, have been appointed
as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center
planning committee. "Our job is to create
a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors
to review and approve," Lovelace said.
"This coming Friday w6 are planning to
have a brainstorming session. All students
are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a
mission statement, programming etc. on
May 4 and go from there."

in your world and you will have
something that 84% of the rest of
the population does not have, and
that's just the United States, if we
go beyond the U. S., it's even a
smaller percentage, so I want you
to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you
have."
Rev. Dr. Washington asked
each student to partner up with
someone he or she did not know.
Each student then discussed in
partners, how they felt about
difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr.
Washington discussed the terms
authenticity and honesty and
expressed his hope for students
to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that
we can be honest, without being
authentic," he said. When Rev.
Dr. Washington asked the crowd
what the students' hopes for the
evening were, one student said, "I
just hope that we don't have to all
come together in order for us to
open our eyes to say that we need
this. Why do we have to come
together? Why can't we just do
this on our own? Why do we have
to come together and say, 'Oh?
Yeah, huh.' We should already be
doing this."
During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked
students to examine the dynamics
of his or her own existence.
"What does it mean when there's
a woman CEO or a woman vice
president where there's never been
a woman vice president and now
all the people who report to her
are men? What does that mean?
What are the dynamics that show
up when that's the difference?"
Rev. Dr. Washington asked.
When speaking on race, Rev.
Dr. Washington said, "How many
folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't
want to have it? Does that need
for that conversation go away?
I have been saying in sessions,
we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but
we've not had a real conversation
about it."
In groups of four, students sat in
chairs, knee to knee and engaged
in conversation with students they
had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five
minutes to identify his or herself
through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender,
class and age. Next, each student
answered questions stating what
category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also
had to tell their peers of a time
when he or she treated others less
than- because of who they were.
Some students found that they
could relate to each other in more
than one way.
Once the session finished,
Rev. Dr. Washington divided the
room into two sections. Students
sat in rows of chairs, facing
each other. Rev. Dr. Washington
paced back and forth down the
middle and told students that if
they felt comfortable, he or she
could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to
him or her, but students were not
allowed to speak. In the act of
standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the
questions asked, each student
would be a representative of a
particular group.
With some humor, Rev. Dr.
Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they
see big black man. One word.
Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far
away.' Now I can't control any of
that. But it does matter that I know
that."
Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said.
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." At this, each student
who stood, scanned the room, and
each student who sat, looked up.
"If you ever feared for your safety
because of your gender please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said,
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." Most of the women
in the room stood, and most men
sat looking up. Some questions
spurred more emotional responses
than others.
From the experience as a whole,
Freshman Bill Rhein said that
he would "not take anything for
granted anymore." Junior Angela
Stubbs, said, "I can't understand
why everyone couldn't attend and
students had to R.S.V.P? You only
find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels
about it. People are talking about
it, but they're not really talking
about it."
The event was co-sponsored by
Advisor Academy and Student
Affairs Professional Development
Team and included representatives
of Student Development Services,
ASI and University Village.

fortune of being on a diverse
campus. We have the amazing
good fortune of being in a room
with folks who don't look like us,
who do look like us, who think
like us and who don't think like
us. Who come from cultures and
histories and families and communities that are like ours and
they're not like ours, and that's
an amazing world to be in. It's
the world that we're in, but often
we actually don't look at each
other and say, I see you, I hear
you, and let's learn from each
other. You all, are the future.
You're my hope. You're why I do
what I do. You have an amazing
ability to shape the future. And
to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference,
and works together in a way that
we actually create communities
where we see and respect each
other." This, Blanshan said, was
the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr.
Jaime Washington.
Rev. Dr. Washington began the
evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the
change that has happened around
the world has been done by folks
who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in
the world. No major social change
movement has ever happened
without your influence and your
power. I want you to recognize the
importance of your role as student
leaders today."
When Rev. Dr. Washington told
students that only 16% of citizens
in the United States have advanced
degrees, he said, "You will go out
for the community."
Like most 21 year old college
students, Lorena's Myspace is
filled with pictures, and personal
phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled
with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief.
Lorena had just celebrated her
21st birthday on April 6 .
Celia Martinez shared, "She
managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing
her own thing and being herself.
She did not need to pretend to be
someone else to feel that shefitin.
She just did. Although she is gone,
those of us who knew her and
cared about her can still hear her
distinctive voice, laughter in the
air. It is still impossible to accept
that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that
we will no longer get those silly
text messages from her when she
thought about us. She reminded
all of us...about some important
lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind
people of how much they mean to
us because you never know when
it will be the last time you get to
give them a hug or tell them that
you love them. We were all given
the opportunity to see her one last
time the week before she left us,
yet none of us knew it would be
the last."
An account has been opened
for the family of Barraza at
Bank of America in Redhawk
in Temecula. For information

posal written up for an independent

The current staff gets first interviews and current kids automatically
taken."
Samara White, a current senior at
CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the
ELC, she has created bonds with all of
them. "Professors send kids here and
are very pleased with what we have
going on. We really teach the kids,"
White said.
When the ELC moves, it will have
a great impact on the teachers who
work at the ELC because they have
gained close bonds with the children.
White added, "The teachers go out
of their way to be here and do things
for the kids. They [the directors in
charge] have not asked what we need
for the center. It's distressing that
they ignored us in the vision for the
new center. It's inexcusable. The kids
are being transferred up there. The
parents don't know anyone up there.
How can parents trust people they
don't know anything about with their
kids? It's a disappointment. You'd
think as a Cal State they would want
people experienced, who have been
here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As
a student I'm disappointed with how
they neglected staff here. Staff has
always had open dialogue with the
directors. They have never given us a
meeting with them or shown up at our
events."
A meeting regarding the ELC and
the future of its employees will take
place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the
ELC.

hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the
string, mold it with glass, and sand it
down with sandpaper to smooth it out.
When the kites are soaring in the sky
they can reach up to three miles high.
There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in
hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate
bragging rights. Kabir explained that
he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As
Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of
the string, he stated, "These cuts and
stitches are from this. Sometimes my
hand is bleeding all over. It [the string]
is sharp, but strong at the same time."
The kites are made by hand with thin
paper, and moist bamboo forms into
the desired shape. Kabir has been
participating in the sport since he was
about five years old, and he now owns
over 2000 kites.
Professors Sherri Douglass and
Pamela Strieker collaborated on the
event which was in synch with the
campus read and a GEL 101 class.
Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First
Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement
within our campus community, and
in the larger community.
After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for
the campus read, "The Kite Runner,"
a story of a young kite fighter in
Afghanistan with immense cultural
insights. Professor Pamela Strieker
responded with her reaction of the
event, "I think the book discussion
went well and those present learned
a great deal about Afghanistan and
Afghani culture and they also learned
that in the end, we are all not so different from one another."
A few copies of the campus read are
still available. Contact either Professor
Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm.
edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty
Center in Kellogg Library.
From LGBTQIA, page 1
Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The
committee will visit different centers
and see how they were structured so
we have an idea of what to look for
and what to model it as. That's exactly
how we modeled our Women's Center.
We didn't start by making stuff up."
Felipe said that the center could
potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to
hang out. "It goes with ASI's core
value of diversity, bringing in all
types of values, opinions, and serving
100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said.
Lee said, "I see the center being an
inclusive and educational venue where
students, any student, may come in.
In regard to programming, I think the
opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San
Diego community about these issues
and provide any support and ser, vices."
When speaking of the LBGTA club
on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"They're a very big club on campus
that's done a lot of programming with
Student Life and Leadership. And
with the C3 and with ASI's goals of
fostering awareness and education
and student life. That's what we want
to with the LBGTQIA Center."
As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"We do have a really tight budget.
We have no money allocated toward
the center." In order to fund the
center, ASI will first look outside
of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired
Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for
the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will
also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all
the different funding possibilities,"
Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via
grants and from supplemental funding
wherever we can find it. But because
he's so good at doing that, that's one of
the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside.
Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have
money put into it."
With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross
Cultural Center, and the upcoming
LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized
the need for representation among an
additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's
Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or
she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different
clubs, whether it be the German Club,
the French Club, MEChA, we have a
whole list of clubs and organizations,
to try to incorporate everyone into
ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said.
The position of the Social Justice
Officer is appointed by ASI President
Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved
by ASI's Board of Directors. The
position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve
CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer.

Spanning the globe with the click of a mouse: Google Earth
Google Earth provides access
to anybody, anywhere - users are
able to take virtual tours around
the globe, search through multimedia content, search for local
places and "placemark" locations* to refer back to. The virtual tours not only allow users to
zoom into any place around the
world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen
location. The website claims to
provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web
community and popular sources
like National Geographic"; users
are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for
3D buildings, parks, schools,
hospitals, airports, shops and
more," states the website. For
those whom need practical local
information, the website also
provides driving directions and
makes it easy to "layer multiple
searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with
others." Book marking or rather,
"placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places
they have visited along with customized additional information
added to the "placemark."
It is clear that Google Earth
provides a plethora of resources
to users around the globe, but
perhaps more importantly, it
exposes the devastation taking
place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed
into the search bar, the website
displays a world of its own - far
from any location one would
"placemark" as a vacation spot.
The screen shows two types of
fire icons: one orange and red,
the other completely red. The
orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely
red fire represents destroyed vil-
lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many,
those homes are represented by
light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or
"internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited
to click on the multimedia icons
in any other given location,
these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men,
women and children of Darfur.
Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have
been afflicted by the genocide
sweeping across Sudan. Upon
reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the
website provides a link to the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where
users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur,
how to help, and "bear witness"
to the achingly horrible violence
that is occurring everyday. The
entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it
is up to users to seek the knowledge.

The Arthritis Foundation
invites the community to par-
ticipate in its? annual San Diego
Arthritis Walk. To be held at
Embarcadero Park North on
Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
help the 46 million people with
doctor-diagnosed
arthritis.
Arthritis affects men, women,
and children of every race and
ethnic group and is America's
leading cause of disability.
Over 700,000 residents of San
Diego and Imperial Counties
live with arthritis, nearly 3,500
of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
honor and to help improve the
lives of friends, loved ones, and
community members afflicted
with the debilitating condition.
Funds generated by the event
will be used by the Arthritis
Foundation in its ongoing effort
to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing
public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla-
tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the
quality of life for those living
with arthritis," according to
the foundation's website (www.
arthritis.org).
Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to
form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up
their own personal Web page
and begin raising funds using
the online fundraising tools
provided by the foundation.
At the event, according to
the 2007 San Diego Arthritis
Walk homepage, participants
may choose from a three-mile
or one-mile walk route; write
an inspirational message on
the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue
"hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register,
but a participant must raise a
minimum of $100 in order to

Getting a summer job
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer is fast approaching. During
summer, some Cougars go back to their
home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and
some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need
money during the summer. One way to
ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer.
All Cougars should be aware of the
basics when applying for a job. Despite the
current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the
most. When applying for a job make sure
to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair
dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just
woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of
interest is the local donut shop. Dressing
professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie,
dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars,
and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks,
and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep
eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel.
CSUSM's Career Center website (www.
csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a
job involving "campaigns to stop global
warming pollution and promote clean,
renewable energy alternatives." Another
links offers a job in painting residential
and commercial for the summer/The web-
site also offers aid in creating resumes and
an online interview practice program with
over 1,500 mock interview questions.
Another website offering advice for
job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www.
monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post
their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews
are highly important when applying for a
job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of
just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow,
a Monster Contributing Writer, explains,
"Writing powerful thank-you letters is
not just a formality. Thank-you letters are
marketing tools that can have tremendous
value in moving your candidacy forward
and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster
Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover
the Work You Were Born to Do" in his
article on how tofinda job you will enjoy
by answering a set of 20 questions.
Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.
com) also provides information on jobs
and is similar to Monster. A quick search
in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13
hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from
selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell
phones. Like Monster, the website allows
users to upload resumes quickly and free.
Post Resume (www.postresume.com),
similar to Career Builder and Monster, also
allows the postirig of resumes at no charge.
The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current
career objectives. Remember that your resume
speaks volumes about
you, particularly if you're
looking to shift gears into
a new field in which you
have no directly applicable
experience. Be sure to note
your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring
to a job rather than industry-specific experience.
And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork,
and problem-solving. Also,
be sure to highlight prior
measurable/demonstrable
accomplishments."
The upcoming 2007 San
Diego County Fair "Salute
to Heroes" (www.sdfair.
com) begins June 8th and
ends July 4th. The event
creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such
job opportunities include
shuttle drivers, stagehands,
ticket sellers, and even security positions.
The excitement and proximity of the San
Diego County Fair smells like a perfect
catch for any Cougar.
If finding a job seems traumatic and
stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once
hired because I looked preppy and had
no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops,
a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts
and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me
and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan.
So, as the few weeks left of school come
to a close, begin the job search now to
ensure afinanciallyburden free summer.

Website of the Week:

reaches those young people who need help
the m ost"
Halfofus.com aims to join, support
and inform college students about mental
health issues, while also allowing students
to guide the direction of the site with their
personal testimonials and feedback. The
website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific
programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national
resources as well. Topics addressed on the
site include: depression, suicide, bipolar
disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress,
alcohol use and drugs.
One particular service offered through
the site is an anonymous screening tool
for students to help them understand, cope
with and take further action should they
feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides
students with the opportunity to explore
their feelings and emotions through useful
resources, and presenting advice on how
to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to
combat depression.
. Featured tools on the website include: an
action center to facilitate students who wish
to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an
"Active Minds student advocacy chapter"
on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed
by the Medical Center of Duke University,
giving students individualized feedback;
"Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed
Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus
and connect students to the appropriate
resources to get help," states halfofus.
com.
Halfofus.com is just one of the many
resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation
in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health
and mental health services) and ULifeline
(a program run by The Jed Foundation).
Launched in November of 2006, the Jed
Foundation paired with mtvU to create
a campaign to heighten awareness about
mental health issues and their prevalence
on college campuses across the nation by
linking students to the right resources.
In a press announcement released by
mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students
have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause
of death among college students, and the
number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends,
Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue
that begins to de-stigmatize mental health,
encourages more young people to seek out
ways to improve their state of mind, and

Pride Staff Writer
Marrakesh, with its stronger African
vibration than other Moroccan cities, is a
thorough assault on the senses in every
way. As one of the most visited places in
Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it
offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle
hard! In a city full of talented artists of
llVilV
«MUÍ
many disciplines— especially leather
working, wood and metals, there is no
shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to
do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red
City," possibly due to the abundance of
its ochre colored buildings, and it was the
capital of Morocco off and on for a few
hundred years.
The first thing that a visitor to the place
will notice when disembarking the plane,
l^il^i
is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond
the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar
collision of smells, sights and noise that
it can be tricky to maintain your sense of
direction, not good when you are trying
to find your accommodations! Donkeys
and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely
potent fumes hit the nose as you meander
through the narrow streets. Venders in
tiny shops line the streets as do countless
motorbike repair shops and you really
have to be careful in navigating your way
around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with
regard to slaloming a motorbike at high
speed through the throngs of walkers.*
Most streets seem to lead to the famous
Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full
of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers
to story tellers/Animals are everywhere
too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul
THE PRIDE
their cargo and performing monkeys hop
around their owners shoulders. Naturally
pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand
painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around
you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower
or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a.
beautiful structure complete with huge
stork nests at the top. Five times a day
there is a call to prayer from the minaret
which adds to the feeling of wonderment
of the place; there really is nothing more
beautiful than hearing the first cali just
before dawn.
Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the
extensive network of the souqs an
absolute must to explore. Everything
you could possibly imagine is sold here,
including things you would probably not
like to imagine, such as leopard skins that
you will find in some of the apothecary
stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above
all, be respectful to the Moroccans right
to practice what they believe in, you are
after all a visitor in their culture.
Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in
the museums and the gorgeous Yves St.
Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate
in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the
numerous steam baths or Hammans for
an olive soap scrub down or simply sit
and people watch whilst sipping delicious
mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna.
In all, Marrakesh will provide memories
of a timeless place and you will no doubt
be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and
exhilarating culture.

Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I am so sick
of the Boston
Red Sox and
New York Yankees. The sports
world loves this
rivalry, but I am
completely over
it. The last straw for me came last
Thursday.
I was sitting in my COMM 440
class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every
week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about,
and last week was no different. My
next step at that point is to ask my
buddy Mike Millburn for a topic.
I respect his suggestions since he's
also in the sports business, but I
could tell it was a slow sports news
day when he told me the biggest
story was about a sock.
That's right, a sock. Not just
a regular white gym sock, but
a bloody sock that was worn
in 2004. The significance of a
bloody sock, you ask? It was worn
by Curt Schilling in the 2004
playoffs when the Red Sox came
from behind from a three games
to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the
World Series.
Schilling showed great courage
at the time for pitching with a torn
tendon in his ankle. The blood on
the sock came from his sutured
ankle that the training staff did up
for him twice during the playoffs.
The reason this * sock has
emerged almost three years later?
Because Gary Thorne, a baseball
announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it
was red paint, and not blood on
the sock.
That was the lead story on the
3PM Sportscenter last Thursday.
ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red
Sox.
What may be most disturbing is
that red sock sits in Cooperstown
at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
When the museum closes at night
I can imagine all the baseball
head plaques wondering where
3
snnam..Mrm

5
the nasty smell is coming from. I
can imagine the plaques of Reggie
Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking
at one another and accusing Babe
Ruth as the source of the smell.
Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's
a bloody sock from the Red Sox
World Series Championship.
I can imagine all of that because
the sports world would like you
to believe that even the Red Sox
and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques
don't like each other.
Seriously, though. The Red
Sox and Yankees played a three
game series two weeks ago and all
three were on national telecasts,
ESPN broadcasted the Friday and
Sunday night games while Fox

T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with
the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules:

broadcasted the Saturday game.
The season is only a month old
and both teams have already made
more appearances on national
television than most other teams
will have all season long.
Back to the red sock. Thorne
actually held an impromptu news
conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever
saying that it was paint, and not
blood.
A press conference over a
bloody sock. I think that may be
a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played

Martin Storrow a N orth County treat
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
With a wave of his guitar and a
sparkle in his eyes, local singer/
songwriter Martin Storrow
wooed the buzzing gathering at
the "It's A Grind Coffee House"
last Wednesday night. A native to
North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a
peachy blend of acoustic folk and
poppy jams.
"I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece
of paper, the result, the grade—
[it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the
fulfillment in every step along
the way, and don't worry too
much about the outcome," said
Storrow. "If you really want it,
it will happen," he continued,
addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career
aspirations.
After a long haul oftouring last
winter - "150 days on the road,"
claimed Storrow - he's back in
town for a bout of relaxation and
regeneration to finish his first
^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel
Diaz. "It's been
really nice to
just be home,"
said Storrow,
"and I think it
also helps the art
too. Being homfe
and connecting with these
old relationships
that I've had
and being in this
emotional space
of
familiarity—that really
breeds good art,
I think."
Anticipated to
be released later
this summer,
some of the
highlights awaiting listeners
on the yet to
be named new
album are tracks
like "Angel of
the Moment,"
"Midnight Daydreams," and
"Ugly." "Everything from songs
I wrote six years ago, to songs
that I wrote yesterday are going
to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the
same place, which is a very
honest place."
One of the featured tracks
that .will be on the new album
is "Angel of the Moment." "For
me," explained Storrow, "that
song is about all of us in our
own capacity
to be someone's
angel, which I
think is such
a
powerful
thought, so I'm
excited about
that song and
what it says."
Formerly the
frontmanforThe
Storrow Band,
Martin Storrow
is no stranger
to the local or
even national
music scene
and his music
is as honest and
captivating as
ever. "I'm sure
you've listened
to a song and
thought: 'that
song is about
me, that's what
I wanted to say,
and this person
said it.' As a [song-writer] when
I hear that, there's a part [of me]
that's like 'oh crap, what now?'
[Thinking] that now I can't write
that song because someone else
already said it," said Storrow.
"But to be able to do that—to
be able to connect—it's not just
a destination as much as it is a
process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that
process...there's no point that
I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done
being a song-writer.'"
Admitting to having played
over 350 shows within the past
few years on the road, when asked
how he keeps his performances
fresh and unique, he replied, "I
think the trick to keeping it fresh
is a) remembering exactly why I
do this, and b) playing stuff that I
like and enjoying myself."
Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin
Storrow's "show slash workshop"
is fun and memorable, complete
with Storrow's special touch of
humor and charm.
Catch Martin Storrow at "It's
a Grind Coffee House" off of
Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos,
every Tuesday and Wednesday at
6:30 p.m. through May.

THE PRIDE
Spider-Man
¡ gilt i » i
If
w w w w »V
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
. JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing,
audiences across the world are getting
tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3"
in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey
Maguire) square off against the New
Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher
Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden
Church) in what may be considered the
best "Spider-Man" yet.
At the start of the film, Peter Parker
(Maguire) is at the top of his class in school
while, Spider-Man is receiving approval
from the entire city of New York. Mary
sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on
any given occasion.
This juicy spin on a classic martini
could have originated from one of three
scenarios in my opinion; the first of
which is in the spirit of the evil queen
in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale
says, tricked Snow White into eating
the poisoned apple. The second of
which is the telltale biblical story of the
temptation of the Eve with apple in the
Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of
the Appletini felt tempted to mess with
a good thing (the original martmi).
Although none of these possibilities a?e
very likely, this sinful indulgence is a
sugary twist on the timeless martini,
bound to delight and satisfy.
Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her
childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is
stilWooking to avenge his father's death.
With everything going so well, it only
seems right that outside forces would begin
to play a role and bring in a lot of drama.
When a strange black creature from out of
this world takes over the Spider-Man suit,
Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance
photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace,
the audience receives a well-balanced
cast.
Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride
.With many subtle variations of the
newly found classic floating around,
my . favorite version of the smashingly
appetizing Appletini is as follows:
1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple
Twist Vodka
1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple
Pucker schnapps
Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill
with ice. Shake well and then pour the
mix into a martini glass and garnish with
an apple slice or a maraschino cherry,
Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my
favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny
Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is
just too bad it took the rest of us so long
to catch on.
As things begin to settle down in the
movie and the storylines are slowly
immerging, Maguire and Franco are able
to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over
emphasizing their emotions, which brings
humor to the film.
With things slowly going back to normal,
the audience gets sucked into the heavy
dosages of drama instead of the action
packed movie viewers would expect.
With the longevity of the drama, the
film's humor passes the time as well as
the scattered battle scenes throughout the
film.
The best parts of thisfilmare the action
scenes - from the spectacular animation
Movie
Review

of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to
Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well
choreographed battles between the good
""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys.
The action scenes allow the audience to
forget that the story moves slowly. With
some amazing one-on-one battles, the
finale is what makes the movie what it is,
another blockbuster smash.
With all the story lines coming to a
close, the movie tries to pull tears from the
audience as the emotional rollercoaster of
Spider-Man and friends comes to an end.
And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
