Last Tuesday, California Faculty Association President Lillian
Taiz released a statement to the
CSU community regarding the
state budget following a statement
released earlier that day by the state
legislative leaders on the 2008/09
budget.
"This new budget is just the most
recent example of chronic underfunding of our state university
system," said Taiz, a professor of
history at CSU Los Angeles.

Since her retirement, Wright
has become a prominent figure
as a peace activist, working
alongside other prominent activists such as Cindy Sheehan, who
spoke at CSUSM last semester.
Last spring, she was a keynote
speaker at an event in Japan led by
local activists to increase awareness regarding the sexual assault
of Japanese women by American
soldiers.

Everyone loved the Beatles
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The
modern
music scene is
very diverse and
there is a number
of tunes to suit
any
persons
taste. There are
so many artist
performing in, redefining, and
blending various genres, it is
difficult to not find something
that suits your taste.
However, along with that, is
the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists
by individuals.
Yet back in the 1960's there
was a music phenomenon,
everyone loved The Beatles.
When I say that, I know not
'everyone' loved The Beatles.
However, the fans outweighed
the opposed.
At concerts and album
releases, there was an absolute
f renzy of fanatics. People o ften
refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.'
The obsessive nature of Beatle
f ans was unlike anything ever
seen.
They were one of the main
contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United
States. They had a massive fan
base that spanned the world.
Their fame has lived on well
past their career. Albums and
paraphernalia are still high
selling items worldwide. Their
influence on the music world is
incalculable.
They
revolutionized
the
album making process by composing songs themselves, and
though they were not
the first to do so, they
made it the standard.
Traces of their music
style can still be heard
in modern music. Music
critics hail their work
as more than music, but
actual art.
In the mid to mid-late
20th century, this was
commonplace in the music
scene. Beatles fans were not
the only ones raging over the
band.
Other artist, such as Bob
Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny
Cash were j ust as big, then
and now. And this raises
questions about where this
activity has gone.
No longer are album stores
flooded on the day of release.
No longer do concerts become
a f renzy of helpless love for
the performer.
This says something about
the caliber of the quality of
music being made today. For
years there has not been an
artist that has had the same
glory as The Beatles or other
artist of their time.
I find it laughable that the
Internet is filled with comments and postings that the
Jonas Brothers are the new
Beatles. The Brothers' f an
base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do
not have the same appeal to
all ages as the Beatles.
Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have
made a mark commercially
and socially that has not, and
likely will never, be topped.

Letter to CSUSM cries wolf
the editor
I call foul
BY GINA P. KEETON
Years from now, when I look
back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will
remember the many wonderful
professors I have had who aided
in shaping the ideas and thoughts I
hold. However, in pertaining to the
school itself, I will have only bitter
memories.
I think many individuals can
agree that the unification efforts at
this University are poor.
"Cougar Pride" is most likely
something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually
no sports and no common enemy
for the CSUSM population to feel
as one.
Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve
fighting the California State University budget cuts.
First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I
understand the CSU system had
been marginally hit by this lack of
funds. Nevertheless, I still believe
that CSUSM is not suffering as
much as they want us to believe.
These "budget cuts" are being
used as a pathetic excuse to cheat
the students out of more money.
Now why am I calling foul on
the school for their pleas to reduce
the cuts? It is a multitude of things
really.
Individual incidents that one
could just as easily turn their back
on as coincidence. Yet if you really
take a step back and look at certain
things with a new perspective, you
can see the bigger picture in which
everything is intertwined.
Over the summer a Professor
mentioned that the school had spent
an enormous amount of money to
change from the trusty Smart Web
system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM.
Then in the weeks approaching
the fell semester, the e-mail server
switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover.
So why is it that a school that is
suffering for money happened to
splurge on superficial remodeling?
To make up for the budget cuts
. the school has cut GE courses in
which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot
get into. The school is not allowing
transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts.
To top it all off, the school's
offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this
semester I had serious issues with
the Veteran's office, Financial Aid
and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and
even the Registrar.
After weeks of trying to get these
issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students.
By the next morning I received
seven phone calls either telling me
that my complaint had np merit and
I don't know what I'm talking about
or kissing up to my derriere with an
incredible amount of force.
In the end, the problems were
resolved after much stress and hardship.
However, I cannot forget the
many lies I was told, the fact that
they kept a large scholarship check
of mine to collect interest on, and
the many individuals I went through
that did not have a clue of what was
going on in their own office.
Maybe what the school needs to
do, instead of trying to get State
funding, is take a good look at
their budget and try to clean up the
wrongs inside the school, instead of
giving it a shiny new website.

seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a
measurable impact on hurricane
intensity.
A study released earlier this
month by the Geophysical Fluid
Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration,
concluded "that despite statistical
correlations between SST [Sea
Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent
decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and
particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane
activity."
The belief that a line has been
drawn in the sand may not be
as realistic or influential as one
might think.
In July 2006, Christopher
Landsea of NOAA challenged

community's
attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on
the grounds that there simply
was not a comprehensive enough
body of data to make such a claim
with any sort of accuracy.
Older hurricane data is regarded
as incomplete and shoddy,
making it difficult to lend itself
to the long term examination of
global warming on hurricanes.
It seems obvious then to ask
yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with
certainty or anything remotely
close to it that the hurricane
disasters of late are by our own
making, how is this an issue we
need to take seriously?
Not having enough evidence to
make the case isn't an excuse for
continuing to allow global warming to worsen.
The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should
be is because there isn't enough
to be measured yet. I am not
comfortable with gambling on
that uncertainty after witnessing
a string of devastating hurricanes

being of my fellow Americans.
The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep
the possibility of global warming
effects on hurricane intensity are
easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world
take the proper measures to make
sure this ceases to be an issue.
If we continue to idly stall until
we achieve absolute certainty
then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our
hands and ours alone.

THE PRIDE
Some of CSUSM's youngest
students still in diapers
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
Located adjacent to the UPD building
off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's
newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its
one-year anniversary at the beginning
of this month.
While the site is a childcare center, it
offers a wide range of services.
According to Francesca Gallozzi, the
director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They
are open to children aged 6 weeks to
5 years, or about the age of kindergarten.
The center is certified to care for
infants who are less than 24 months,
as well as being certified for children
over 2 years until junior preschool and
pre-k. Though the center is affiliated
with CSUSM, it is open to the community.
According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of
the children are from the community,
though students, staff and faculty have
priority in enrollment.
The children are cared for by fully
qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud
of, she said. Several workers happen
to be students, though they must meet
several requirements.
Other features include all meals
cooked on site for the children. The
center is also a learning lab for the
university for students who study child
development.
Gallozzi is pleased with the growth
of the center, and she is looking for
more ways to reach out.
When the center opened, there were
only 23 children, and enrollment is
currently more than 120.
"The school hasn't fully realized the
opportunities for engagement at the
center," she said.
One program implemented in the
center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange
a visit to the center to teach children
about their field. Through this, both
parties may benefit from the experience.
Another program recently s tarted is
the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The
center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring
their favorite book and read to the children.
President Haynes was the first to
participate in the event.
The center will also collaborate with
the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this
fall, a tradition started last year.
The Childrens' Creative Learning
Center (CCLC) is the parent company
of the center.
According to their website, the
CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992.
Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning
experience.
"We're really exited to be here and
excited about growth," said Gallozzi.

Catholic Club
gains popularity
BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
The club became official in March 2008.
Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice
President Nate McWeeney head the organization.
Jenny Doherty handles communications
by reaching out to all interested students.
Seven other officers comprise the group.
The club holds biweekly meetings every
first and third Wednesday of the month at
7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room
1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus
called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark
Field House in Room 110.
"It's popular for Catholic students to look
for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we
had one when I started," said Hoffman.
Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club.
The deities gave support and funding for
the CSUSM Catholic club.
The churches even sent members from
the group on retreats to train and help them
with leadership.
The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to
enable students to have a good Christian
experience on campus and unite them with
church. Eventually they want to establish a
Newman Center on campus.
The center provides a place of worship
for Catholic students. The club intends to
host a concert on campus next semester as
well.
"I think it's great that CSUSM students
are keeping our faith alive," said Senior
Management Major Suzette Monroyo.
60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90
students joined the club's mailing list. For
more information visit www.facebook.
com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send
e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com.
"All are welcome. We can make people's
college experiences a memorable one with
friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman.

concern for the CFA and CSU community.
"Higher education is part of the solution
to a troubled economy. Cuts to the California State University undermine California's
economy, undermine revenue to the state,
and undermine our ability to compete in a
global economy," Taiz said.
"The importance ofhigher education to the
state's future is not lost entirely on our state
legislators and the governor. In response to
intense pressure by supporters of the CSU,
they restored some $97 million to the CSU

Getting a job
FEATURES
Interview tips to make
sure you get the spot
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
One of the most intimidating parts of the job search is the
interview process. At CSUSM,
the Career Center, located in
Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the
process. Pamela K. Wells, the
Associate Director of the Career
Center and a Career Counselor,
offers these tips.
•
Practice the interview.
If enough time is available,
schedule a mock interview in the
career center. Students have the
opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she
should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover
letter.
The session can be scheduled
for one hour and consist of at most
a 30 minute interview, which can
be recorded and bought for $3,
but is not mandatory.
A debriefing follows this and
the student can receive feedback.
If the timing of the interview
does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice
online.
Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/
careers, students have access to
a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions.
It can utilize a computer's
webcam to record and playback
a student's response, or answers
can be typed into a text box.
Either way, students can view
appropriate responses to the
questions.
•
Be ready with information about yourself
Knowing one's strengths is an
important way to show that he
or she will be a good addition.
Along with knowing strengths,
the interviewee should be ready
with specific examples about
using these skills in the work-
place.
Using the STAR formula can
leave a positive impression. Be
able to frequently describe a
Situation and Task, as well as
the Action taken and Result to
show off one's strengths.
In addition, it is recommended
that the interviewee know about
the job they are going for. He or
she should be familiar with the
job description. As well, it is a
good idea to be familiar with
the position and company.
•
Make a strong first
impression
The first few seconds of the
interview are critical. One
should wear clean, pressed,
and fitting business or business
casual clothes, based on the
interview.
The interviewee should know
the traffic and the route taking
so that he or she can find parking and be on time.
•
Be memorable.
Often interviewers will ask
if one has any questions for
them. It looks good when one
asks specific relevant questions
because it shows interest in the
position.
In addition, the interviewee
should ask about what the next
step is, when he or she will hear
back, and take a business card.
Using the ^information on the
card, one should write a thank
you for the time in the interview.
Use the Career Center
Besides the Mock Interview,
the Career Center has many
more resources online and in
their office. Their 'Career Guide'
offers information to get started
on the job hunt and finer details
about interviewing, such as
the best way to give an answer,
things not to say, and fine details
on dressing.
If a company offers you an
interview that means you look
good on paper and the interviewer
wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself,
and good luck!

THE PRIDE
Surfer, Dude tells the story of Steve Attington, played by Matthew McConaghey,
a soul-surfer, who returns to his hometown, Malibu, only to find it tainted by new
age technology.
Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship
offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it.
One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst
nightmare for any surfer.
The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him
to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come.
Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore.
The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R. Bindler and Matthew McConaghey at a press junket at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.

aflattire. Whatever those things are.
We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks,
some people are stunned. They're done. If
the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I
don't know what to do.
How does your lead character in the
film (Attington) reflect what is going on in
the world today?
S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact
that his nature gets taken away from him?
We use the waves as metaphor to nature.
Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves
go away.
M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a
world where the only thing that makes
sense is this digital world and his only
access to get the thing that he loves, this
very natural thing called a wave, is to go
down and live in this 'reality' house—to
digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game.
He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like
that.' He's just going 'That's really not for
me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the
sun. I'm not really into that.'
You look at reality TV now. Its this huge
craze and hugely successful but we all
know it's not real. Its false drama and we
love watching it and it's a turn on but its not
really happening.
I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones.
S.R.B.—How would a guy who is
authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition.
M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is
when they're stuck and there's no waves. So,
they can go and they've all been there before.
They can go laugh at me going crazy and
know that when they get out of the theater
hopefully there's some swell of their own.
So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf
film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the
beginning and then the waves go away.
So you wore the same board shorts for
the whole movie?
M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe
ever.
He's (Attington) not even coherent that
maybe there's that manners and grace that
you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't
even think that way.
He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He
doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever
made a connotation or note to it. So that's
part of our humor as well.
People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got
His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of
funny about it.
I did it a whole movie, all the way through.
It was great.
What makes this a good movie for the
fall?
M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of
summer and hopefully give you some of
that Sunkist fun.
Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in
San Diego. Why should surfers go see
this movie?

Student spotlight Kimberiy Koga
CSUSM's Resident poet
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
A&E Editor
The first impression of Kimberiy
Koga is small little package that packs
big punch. Koga's petite f rame hiding
the deep waters of creativity flowing
beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at
CSUSM with an emphasis in writing.
When asked what inspired her to write
she confesses that a school report written
by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and
Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a
poet and that attracted her to poetry.
Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride
From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac
"helped steer [her] writing in different
directions, and exposed [her] to different
techniques that never crossed my mind
before."
Although Koga's main form of
expression is poetry she has recently
been exploring screen writing and the
novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing
company and be able to support herself
with writing.
Before the publishing end of writing
takes her main focus away Koga wants
to complete an MFA in creative writing
but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I
will always be writing."
Koga began creatively writing at
around the age of 12 and admits that
it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not
achieved in the textbook classical form
of development.
Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for
emotional expression. Koga says o fthe
writing process, "Most of the time I sit
down with a blank brain and see what
comes out."
Koga enjoys poetry for they way a
"singular word will express whole sen-
tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga
is less thrilled with the revision process
of poetry because she finds it can be a
tremendous e ffort.
Koga usually will write a piece and
hedge self-editing until a few months
later. Koga allows the poem/story per-
colate in her mind and then go back to it
for editing.
Wherever the writing/publishing
world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe
to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A
sampling of Koga's poems can be found
in the " Pride" on line.

Booze, tattoos and rock and roll, the 2008
Street Scene went back to its roots in downtown San Diego for a two-day music festival.
Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park,
this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and
a variety of eccentric indie rockers together
for the love of music.
Friday's lineup hosted more alternative
sounds then years before, such as headlining
act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also
big names on the line up for Friday.
At 4:30 PM, The Films took the Fulana

streets, drawtóg a largér crowd then excepted

.
Later on in the night, MGMT, a band
whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen
to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the
Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45
minute set.
The stage was set at the end of a narrow
street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics,
ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so
it was.
Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly
than Friday. The food was prepared more
quickly, the bands started and ended on time,
the traffic was better. It seemed that after only
one day the festival was familiar to people, a
short lived home awayfromhome.
The four stages, named after popular music
venues around San Diego, were rooted in the
streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood.
As the second half of bands began around
4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than
the day before, a sharp contrast against the
heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of
bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with
their own brand of classic radio rock. Their
set woke people up and excitement
was back in the air.

Though, the band was a crowd pleaser they
played radio tunes, "Electric Feel," off their

20 bands total played Friday night, and
ended with an amazing show from Beck.
Starting at 10:45 PM, Beck was on the biggest
stage, the Fulano Stage, where they played an
hour and 15 minute life changing set.
But Street Scene is more than just music, on
Friday, the streets werefilledwith local artwork showcased for sale, local and imported
fashion was displayed, as well as the popular

As the night began to draw to a close, out
with the moon came the headlining acts to
top of the festival. The National closed out the
Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a
highlight of the day for many fans.
Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's
new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As
thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event
that has been going on for 24 years, where
genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss.

Though this movie has plenty to offer for fans of the television
show, it does not stand up well by itself. All the cast reunites
to tell one more story which take place after the show ended. It

nonetheless quite likely to go down as a fan favorite.
