SAE passes ban against pledging for all chapters
CSUSM's California Alpha-Gamma chapter institutes changes with enthusiasm
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF
The nationwide fraternity
Sigma Alpha Epsilon has
made national headlines as
the country's "deadliest fraternity." But, the organization, including CSUSM's
chapter, has moved quickly
to change its reputation.
Last December, bloomberg.com published an article criticizing the fraternity
for the disciplinary actions
that have been taken against
multiple chapters across the
country in* recent years. It
also focused on the nine people that have died in what
were referred to as "events
related to Sigma Alpha Epsilon" since 2006, which
Bloomberg reported as more
than any other fraternity.
This March, bloomberg.
com brought SAE back to.
national headlines when JPMorgan Chase & Co. made
the decision to stop managing the fraternity's investment account due to their
negative reputation. On the
same day that JPMorgan

made their decision, SAE's
national president, Bradley
Cohen, announced the fraternity's resolution to nationally ban pledging in all
SAE chapters. The decision,
which had been in discussion
for months leading up to the
announcement, was put into
effect in an effort to eliminate the hazing t hat'often
occurs when fraternities and
sororities are initiating new
members.
The 80 members of
CSUSM's SAE Califor-
nia Alpha-Gamma chapter,
which is currently in its fifteenth year of being active at
CSUSM, have welcomed the
ban with open arms. Chapter President Mike McKinney says that all fraternities
and sororities should follow SAE's example and ban
pledging altogether.
"I love the decision that
the [SAE] supreme council
has made. Our chapter collectively has been in favor of
the ban. We looked at hazing
and saw that it wasn't neces-
sarily an issue at CSUSM,
but since we are a national
organization, we respect and
support it. There needs to be
a change and this will help us
nationally and locally," McKinney said.
While hazing has been a
problem with other SAE
chapters across the country,
the California Alpha-Gamma
chapter has not experienced
the issue firsthand. When
recruiting new members, the
chapter contacts individuals pre-rush, which is stand-
ard for all CSUSM Greek
organizations. In the past,
McKinney said that SAE
would have a rush week during 'the third or fourth week
of school.
"We're going in a new direction; we have to revamp
that whole process. We are
looking to create a closer
bond with potential new
members to have deeper conversations about who they
are and what their goals/ambitions are," he said.
The California Alpha-
issue, including the Association for Computing Machinery.
The ACM is a CSM-affiliated student organization.
According to csusm.edu
links, it is responsible for
putting together "a weekly
lecture series on academic
topics on computer science,
mathematics and entrepreneurship. Additionally ACM
organizes field trips to local
businesses and offers workshops on various topics.
ACM meets every Tuesday
during U-hour in SCI n ,
Room 242."
"It's like DLC for the internet," said Kevin, referring
to the controversial practice
of video game companies
charging extra for downloadable content. "It's just another way for companies to
get more money from clients
who are already paying!"
"It also has a lot to do with
control. If a website is undergoing a copyright dispute;
like if it features a video or
music that the owner has
a problem with,, the cable
company can shut the whole
website down," another student, who wished to remain
anonymous, said.
This naturally carries issue
for many of the Internet's
more popular critics and entertainers, many of who have
dealt with copyright claims
meant to take down their
videos, despite the fact that
they are generally* protected
under satire and critical law.
Nevertheless, a corporatecontrolled Internet could do
a lot of harm to these smaller
businesses.
"[Net neutrality] is important, but growing difficult
with ISP's [Internet Service
Providers] creating a mo-
nopoly. It will be interesting
to see how it all plays out in
the next couple of years," the
President of CSUSM's Association for Computing Machinery, Maxwell Partington,
said.
Chief among these more
financial concerns are the
growing worries over the
anticipated merger between
Comcast and Time Warner
Cable, which could allow
the groups to practically monopolize the cable industry;
which, for the moment at
least, controls the Internet.
The only other option lies
in Cloud computing, which
is very quickly being dominated by Amazon.
The backlash on the Internet is more common, with
Tim Berners-Lee, the man
credited with the creation of
the world-wide-web showing
a large amount of concern.
"When I created the web, I
didn't have to ask anyone's
permission," Lee said during an interview. "Control of
information is hugely powerful. In the US, the threat is
that companies control what
I can access for commercial reasons...there is a very
strong short-term incentive
for a company to grab control of TV distribution over
the Internet even though it
is against the long-term interests of the industry." In
the end, the frightening thing
is how our only option is to
wait and see.
There is however some
dissent to the move for net
neutrality as taken on by the
Federal Communications
Commission.
"The Internet was free and
open before the FCC adopted net neutrality rules. It remains free and open today.
Gamma chapter seeks to
follow the "true gentleman"
principles of SAE to the best
of their abilities.
"I have studied SAE history and rituals, and pledging was actually never in
our founders' beliefs," McKinney said. "Pledging was
introduced after WWII as
a way to educate members
more on the fraternity and
what it meant to be in SAE,
but this wasn't the case for
all chapters."
The bloomberg.com article listed California AlphaGamma as a SAE chapter
that experienced one of the
nine fraternity-related deaths
since 2006. McKinney explained that while the individual was a member of SAE
that passed away in 2009, the
death was not directly associated with the organization.
"We took that [article]
with a heavy heart, but we
understood that as reporters they were just trying to
get all of the information
possible " McKinney said.

Students believe magazines don't affect them
B Y SARAH HUGHES
NEWS EDITOR
. Two non-scientific surveys
of convenience were conducted online and in-person
at CSUSM to measure how
the San Marcos and online
communities feel about the
use of Photoshop in magazines.
Done as a follow-up to
Alex Maravillas' article in
issue eight, Feb. 5, 2014,
the surveys shed light on
CSUSM perception of magazines and body image. There
were some differences between the online and in-person survey responses.
The online survey conducted Jan. 23 to Feb. 24, using
the "online survey platform"
surveymonkey was distributed online through various
Facebook pages, emails and
had a link placed in a previous article. The in-person
survey was administered
Feb. 20 and Feb. 24, on paper surveys to individuals on
campus, in classrooms, near
the Clarke and the University Student Union. Most of
the respondents were young
students. Both were samples
of convenience and were
anonymous/There were 40
total participants in the online survey and 102 total
participants in the in-person
survey.
In the online survey there
were 27 female participants
who responded, 10 male participants and three individuals who skipped the question
identifying gender. In the
in-person or physical survey,
there were 58 female participants, 38 male participants
and six who declined to state
or left their gender blank.
Differences:
Participants physically at
CSUSM reâd magazines
slightly more than the participants in the online survey.
The most chosen answer in
the online survey for "How
often do you read magazines
that use Photoshop or retouched photos?" was "Not
at all often" online, selected
by 25 percent of participants.
The most chosen answer in
the physical survey was a
tie between "Slightly often"
with 24.24 percent choosing
this response and "Not at all
often" with 24.24 percent
choosing this response.
Although both groups
claimed to have "good selfesteem," the participants who
were physically on campus
rated themselves lower than
the online group. The most
chosen ratings to the question "To what degree do you
agree with the statement, "I
am a very attractive person"
on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being completely disagree, and
10 being completely agree",
online were eight (33.33 percent), seven (17.95 percent)
and ten (12.82 percent).
The most chosen ratings to
the same question in-person
were seven (28.86 percent),
eight (22.68 percent) and six
(11.34 percent).
Similarities:
Both groups read for the
same primary reason, entertainment: online (32.50
percent), in-person (29.26
percent).
Both groups claimed that
they took the information
presented in fashion magazines "not at all seriously
- nothing in a fashion magazine is truthful." Online participants chose this response
58.97 percent of the time. Inperson, 48.51 percent chose
it. Both groups perceive the
general population as taking
fashion magazines "moderately seriously," with online
choosing this response 48.72
percent of the time and inperson participants 40.20
percent. This means that par-

ticipants believe other people generally take magazines
more seriously than they do.
Most participants said they
had good self-esteem. The
rates were comparable, with
a 76.92 percent majority
online and 79.41 percent inperson majority saying they
had good self esteem.
Participants were asked,
"In your opinion, on a scale
of 0 to 10, 0 being the least
attractive, and 10 being the
most attractive, the average
person in a magazine rates
as what number?" Rates between the two groups were
similar, but the orders were
different. Online the ratings
chosen were nine (34.21 percent), eight (28.95 percent)
and ten (18.42 percent). Inperson ratings chosen were
nine (28.12 percent), ten
(23.95 percent) and eight
(14.58 percent).
When asked to rate their
same sex closest friend, both
groups chose the same top
three numbers of nine, eight
and seven in the same order.
Online rated their "bestie"
as a nine (26.32 percent), an
eight (23.68 percent) and a
seven (18.42 percent). Similarly, In-person participants
rated their "BFF" as a nine
(23.65 percent), an eight
(18.27 percent) and a seven
(17.20 percent).
Many participants were
advocates against measuring their bodies against what
they saw in magazines.
"Models in magazines are
unnatural and often touched
up so to compare them to
oneself is unrealistic and
impossible to reach," one
participant answered in the
in-person survey.
"I believe everyone is
beautiful in their own unique
way. There is physical beauty and beautiful personalities. I primarily look at fashion magazines in passing
and when I do, it is for the
clothing and make up. I don't
compare myself to the models in negative ways only for
inspiration," another participant answered online:
The two surveys suggest
that people don't take magazines seriously, yet believe
that others take them into
moderately more consideration. Both groups believe
they have good self-esteem.

Natural beauty is preferred aesthetic
B Y RACHEL SMITH

9,2014
Magazines and advertising
companies are beginning to
give into demands for natural beauty.
Key movements from 2012
on seem to suggest that the
beauty industry is changing
to relieve social problems
associated with low bodyimage. CSUSM's opinion on
the matter is examined.
On Feb. 5, 2014, the Cougar Chronicle released the article 'Reshaping Perception:
The Vogue Image Creating
Controversy' by fashion
columnist Alex Maravillas,
regarding the subject of utilizing Photoshop in fashion
magazines and manipulating
images for unrealistic expectations of beauty.
As image retouching has
been a trend in advertising
for decades, CSUSM students were not surprised
when the Vogue controversy
erupted.
"People these days are
far too much into looks
and should be into learning
more," one student wrote
anonymously in an in-person
survey conducted by the
Chronicle.
"Many magazines, especially fashion magazines do
not portray "average" people. People should not compare themselves to them,"
another participant wrote in
the online version of the survey.
Learning more is exactly
what some magazines are beginning to do. Back in 2012,
a petition with over eightythousand signatures was filed
by a fourteen-year-old girl
against Seventeen Magazine,
hoping to "celebrate every
kind of beauty." This spurred
a movement in many magazines and even advertisements for lines like, Aerie,
American Eagle's lingerie
line that launched in January. This is an astonishing
advancement and may continue in the coming years, as
the need to change negative
perceptions of beauty and the
levels of self esteem, in both
men and women become apparent.
Out of 102 participants in
a survey handed out on campus, 58 female respondents,
38 male respondents and six
who didn't specify their gender, 29.26 percent of people
that read magazines primarily focus on the entertainment.
Also to be noted, many of
the individuals at CSUSM
who took this survey have
a higher opinion of their
friends of the same sex than
they do themselves. Participants were asked to rate
themselves on a scale of one
to 10 on agreeing with the
statement "I am an attractive
person."
The majority of people at
52.57 percent viewed themselves at a seven or lower
and 39.17 percent responded
as an eight or higher. Eight
individuals (8.24 percent)
declined to respond. But
when looking at the attractiveness of their friends,
34.02 percent answered that
their friends of the same sex
were at a seven or lower,
while an overwhelming turnaround showed that those at
eight and above were 56.70
percent.
"Attractiveness sadly determines a lot of how people are treated in life even
if attractiveness is socially
constructed," one survey
participant answered in the
in-person survey.
As seen in a social experiment sponsored by Dove in
2013, a forensic artist drew
portraits of women based on
how they described themselves and how other women
described them. The results
showed something similar to
the results we received in the
survey, the women viewed
themselves as dowdier, sadder and more wrinkled than
they actually were.
The campaign for natural beauty images is growing every day and hopefully
will benefit the self-image of
those to come.
Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency and urges Californians to conserve water. By Sarah Hughes.
D rought a ffects s tudents directly
B Y ELIZABETH CRUZ
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Much of California is experiencing exceptional drought
conditions for the third consecutive year, making it the driest
30 months in over 100 years
according to climate.gov. Currently, California is suffering
from depleted amounts of water, as well as below average
rainfall, causing crops to fail.
Such a threat affects all Californians, as food and water may be
at risk. Even around campus,
there are changes one can make
to conserve water.
Drought is defined by Webster's Dictionary as a period
of dryness, especially when
prolonged. Droughts are more
dangerous than dry spells in that
they last longer and can sometimes take decades to fully develop. They are in the top three
threatstoworld population, accordingtoweatherabout.com.
In Southern California, imported water is relied on heavily. Only 20 percent of the water
consumed is local according
to sdcoastkeeper.org. The rest
is imported from the Colorado
River and Sacramento/San
Joaquin River Delta. With those
areas also affected by drought
conditions, Southern Californians have to recognize the
value of conservation.
USA Today reports that President Obama authorized $100
million in drought aidtofarmers in ordertocover the loss of
livestock. He ordered the Agriculture Departmenttoexpedite
applications so farmers can
receive aid in a timely manner.
Obama has also advised federal facilities to limit water consumption.
Governor Brown signed a
$687.4 million dollar package
on March 1 to aid California
during the water crisis, calling it
the worst in modern history for
the state. The bulk of the funding will gotolocal governments
for water conservation projects.
The rest will be giventoCalifornians who need general food assistance and house related assistance as a result of the drought,
as well as the Emergency Water
Fund.
The storm that hit at the beginning of March helped reduce
the risk of wildfires, but did not
bring enough precipitation to
end the droubt. Unfortunately,
most of the snow caused from
the storm will flow into the
ocean instead of into our reservoirs, according to the Union
Tribune.
Adam Allgood of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate
Prediction Center anticipates
drought conditions will persist
or worsen in many of the already affected areas.
More efficient equipment can
conserve water and regulatory
practices can monitor human
behavior. Water reused for landscaping can helptosave drinkable water. CSUSM has many
drought-tolerant plants that may
help reduce water used in landscaping.
Students and staff can conserve water at home by simply
waitingtorun a dishwasher until
it isfoil.This can save 10 to 20
gallons of water a day, accordingtothe U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency. For those
without dishwashers, washing
dishes by hand in a stopped sink
or container is an excellent alternativetoletting the sink run.
" Also, turning off the faucet
while brushing teeth or shaving
and taking shorter showers lasting onetofiveminutes can help
the water supply.

CSUSM women's basketball team finished the season under .500 but they took
home their first A.I.I. Division 1 Championship title.
The Lady Cougars were
allowed the opportunity to
compete in the NAIA championship tournament, but
lost in the first round against
number 1 seed, Vanguard.
Heather Thompson and
MacKenzie Harnett were
named 2014 DaktronicsNAIA-Scholar-Athletes.
"They're also great people, which is what the NAIA
hones in on; balance and
character. You're talking
about two kids that have
great character and they have
their priorities straight,"
Coach Crystal Harris said.
Thompson was named
A.I.I. player of the week earlier this year. According to
CSUSM athletics, she was
the first woman in CSUSM
basketball's history to be
named NAIA All-American
as an honorable mention .
"She deserves it; she's
a double-double every
night," Harris said. "It not
only speaks with her ability to score or just rebound,
it speaks about her entire
game."
Although CSUSM's leading scorer Shirika Miller is
graduating this semester,
Coach Harris has high hopes
for next season. ' .
"We're gonna get better
every game, we're gonna do
better every season," Harris
said. "Through athletics and
through basketball, we're
trying to mentor and teach
them how to be successful,
high functioning and intelligent people."
With almost the entire
team returning for another
season, the sky's the limit for
CSUSM cougars.
The Women's Basketball
team finish their season 1517, but leave their mark in
their final games of the season.
"Winning this Division 1
Title helped put our name out
there," Coach Harris said.
Nestled between Carlsbad
and Encinitas, the Batiquitos
Lagoon offers home to many
birds, fish and other wildlife
as tides sneak in and out of
the lagoon under Interstate 5.
Hikers can often catch a
glimpse of many of these
critters while meandering the
trails and enjoying the fresh
air.
There are many trails to
venture out along around the
Batiquitos Lagoon, but the
main trail has its trailhead at
the end of Gabbiano Lane.
That's also where the Nature Center is located. There
is only a handful of parking
spots specifically for the lagoon but plenty of street
parking is available.
From the trailhead, the trail
turns from paved to dirt past
the Nature Center, but it is
well maintained and relatively fiat. A bit down the path
the trail begins to run along
the Aviara Golf Course but
not close enough to have to
worry about stray golf balls.
At this point the whoosh of
cars from the 5 dissipates
into the chirps of birds sitting in the trees. The distance
from the trailhead. to the
turnaround is 1.66 miles.
There are other places
along the trail that offer access points and parking.
There are no restrooms or
water along the trails, but
there are plenty of benches
for resting and observing the
wildlife. More information

Foundation and the Nature
Center can be found at www.

B Y RACHEL GALLEGO
HEALTH COLUMNIST
The Paleo diet, in simple
terms, is what the cavemen
ate. If you haven't jumped
on the bandwagon yet, you
might be missing out on
some major health benefits.
This modern nutritional
plan suggests that you'll be
leaner and reduce your risk
for diabetes, heart disease
and cancer.
If our prehistoric ancestors
didn't eat it, diet rules say
you can't either. The paleo
diet involves eating highprotein and high-fiber meals,
without having to count
calories. Foods include fresh
lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds.
Foods to avoid are anything
dairy. This is because the
Paleo diet (like our ancestors) is all about "huntingand-gathering" type foods.
It does allow for some cheat
days, which is anywhere
from one to three meals per
week. It just depends on how
far you are willing to take
this meal plan.
There has been some research on the health benefits of going paleo, but not
enough to make any conclu-
sions. Some researchers even
go as far as saying this diet
may improve athletic performance, because we are
genetically made for it. The
theory behind this is that our
genes were made to survive
a tough lifestyle in the ancestral age, so by eating as they
did, we may be able to perform to that level as well.
Something to look out for
is missing out on specific
nutrients, such as Vitamin
A, D and calcium from dairy
products. You may need to
take supplements, but before
making any changes to your
diet, talk with your doctor.

Restaurant Review
Intertwined pleases with food aesthetic
B Y NIKKI THOMAS
RESTAURANT REVIEWER
Intertwined is a romantic
wine bar and bistro located
in the heart of Escondido.
The ambiance is elegant and
traditional, with bohemian
accents that make this newer
restaurant inviting.
There are three different
seating areas for your enjoyment: The first can be seen
as soon as you walk in and
is used for a normal dining
experience, complete with
booths and tables.
As you continue throughout the space, there is a cozy
lounge with plush couches
and hanging lanterns accompanied by a wall filled with
different varieties of wine.
Continuing on towards the
back of the bistro, there is
a full wine bar with bar top
tables that seem great for enjoying some of their Happy
Hour Specials that are every
Tuesday through Friday from
4:00 p JII. to 6:30 p.m.
The menu is diverse and
includes: beginnings, soups
and salads, signature selection entrées, flatbreads, hoodies and a meat and cheese
plate. They alsQ offer some
side additions and a separate
dessert menu.
Their happy hour consists
of $1 off wines and beers,
and on average about $2 to

and savory which complimented some tang from the
vinaigrette. Simple but excellent.
The next entrée was the
Lobster & Shrimp Ravioli
($20). This item was plated
exceptionally beautiful, with
about eight medium sized
raviolis stuffed with moist
lobster, topped with three
plump shrimps, julienned
tomato slices. It was finished
off with micros greens, edibleflowerpetals and chives,
all in zesty lemon butter
cream sauce that made this
pasta melt in your mouth.
We completed our meal
with a Berry & Apple Crumble ($8.50). This dessert was
stunning; the berry and apple tart had a sweet crumbly
crust, paired with a double
vanilla scoop of ice cream
next to a blackberry coulis
crème-anglais with a few
blackberries aside. It was
ideal to share and satisfies
any sweet tooth cravings.
Intertwined provided an
amorous atmosphere and impeccable service. Our server
was well informed of the
menu items, preparations,
as well as any specials and
never hesitated to add any
special touches to our dining

place for a nice evening out

From sightseeing in the
Grand Canyon, to eight
mile hikes in Utah's Canyonland and mountain biking in Moab, students from
CSUSM's recreational club
had a lot to enjoy during their
adventurous spring break.
Students Gabriel Escobedo and Brenda Ferro were
among 11 others who attended the spring break trip
hosted by CSUSM's Campus
Recreation. The week long
trip was both recreational
and educational.
Gabriel Escobedo, Intramural Coordinator of Campus Recreation, said that one
of the best moments on the
trip was mountain biking in
Moab. Escobedo described
how crazy mountain biking
could be in Moab, A great
deal of people travel from
around the world to experience mountain biking here.
Escobedo explained how
different mountain biking
was because of shifting gears
and the changing terrain, and
how a person tends to get absorbed in the moment.
"With mountain biking you
focus on the moment and forget about any stresses, about
homework and whatever else
is going on in your life," Escobedo said.
Participants spending spring break in an exciting way. Photos submitted by Beatriz QuinterofromCampus Recreation.
It isn't only about being
adventurous, the trip also
allowed students to interact with nature and learn to
appreciate it. Escobedo explained how important it is
to experience nature and step
outside of the everyday life.
"Experiencing how life is
like outside of our cars, outside of iPhones and interacting with nature itself is important," Escobedo said. "It
is realizing that there is truly
something there in nature to
preserve."
The spring break trip also
had its educational moments
where students were taught
principles used when experiencing the wilderness. Escobedo explained how the
staff presented these principles through activities, films
and group discussions.
Whether it was hiking,
sightseeing or mountain biking, the truly memorable aspect of the trip was the connections that were forged
and the friendships made
along the way. Escobedo
expressed how much he enjoyed the group of students
that accompanied him on the
trip and how inspired he was
by seeing those students gain
a wonderful experience.
Ferro talked about her fellow spring breakers as well
and how appreciative she was
of having them on the trip.
"During our cross country
mountain biking, my sister
and I were so slow, I thought
they would say come on lets
go but they were so supportive," Ferro said. 'They were
very patient even though
they had to wait for us."
During hikes, Ferro explained that although they
were challenging, being with
her group made the experience that much better.
"We got a along pretty well
and talked the whole way
and took pictures," she said.
The trip included U peopie: 11 CSUSM students and
two staff members. The total
cost of the trip was approximately $350, which included
activities and lodging. The
v
trip to Utah occurs every
year during spring break.
There is also an upcoming
three day trip hosted by campus recreation to Sequoia
National Park. Sign-ups are
held at Campus Recreation
beginning Monday, April 7.
"The outdoor and recreational activities in general
is a .great opportunity to get
away from the stresses of life
and experience nature," Escobedo said. "CSUSM students should join and take to
advantage of it."

Taking Back
the Night
B Y K A T U N S WEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Take Back the Night starts
off with entertainment like
dances, music, spoken word
and speakers. During the
performances, various clubs,
community members and
classes will set up tables that
offer resources on issues like
violence against women.
Then the evening transitions
into a survivor's circle. Everyone sits down and candles
are passed out to the group.
This is an opportunity for
sexual/domestic violence or
sexual exploitation victims
to share their stories.
"For a lot of people, it's
their first time, You ended up having a significant
amount of people going up
to share their stories ," one of
the event organizers, Karen
Guzman, said.
After the discussion circle,
Take Back the Night transitions into a march around
campus where participants
chant to reclaim their bodies and voices. Afterwards,
the group gathers to list their
demands for promoting recovery against sexual assault
and ending sexual violence
against women. Take Back
the Night occurs on college
campuses across the country
and generally only reaches
students.
"One of the really cool'
things that the student committee coordinating Take
Back the Night is doing is
that they are making the program bilingual and encouraging the community to attend," Guzman said.
Take Back the Night will
take place from 5 p.m. to 9
p.m. on April 17 in Kellogg

During U-Hour on March
3, CSUSM students heard
some unusual commotion
coming from Library Plaza.
A crowd began to gather
around a woman standing on
top of a cement bench with
a Christian Bible in hand.
Those who stopped to listen
glanced at each other out of
confusion as the woman condemned everyone around her
to a pit full of fire.
Although shocking, scenes
similar to this happen several
times throughout the school
year. As many CSUSM students have gotten used to
hearing the judgment and
condemnation that comes
with these ignorant rants, it
still never fails to leave a bad
impression.
"I thought it was rude because they're judging, the
Bible says you shouldn't
do that. It's kind of hypocritical," a CSUSM student,
Tayeler, said.
The people responsible for
the controversial speeches
are not CSUSM students.
They are older folks who
come every once in a while
to remind us that we are sinners.
,,, These^ folks ., call .them-,;
selves Christians and believe
they are doing God's will by
preaching the gospel of salvation, which says, "And he
said unto them, Go ye into
all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature."
(Mark 16:15).
Where is the line drawn?
This woman, who claimed to
be free of sin, was verbally
abusing people and picking
on whoever passed by. It
seems that she and her companions have misunderstood
God's purpose.
1 John 1:8 says, "If we say
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us."
In other words, if we did
not sin then we wouldn't
need God's existence, and
there'd be no need for salvation.
"It's distracting on a
school campus. I think they
shouldn't allow that here but
it is freedom of speech and
I respect that," CSUSM student, Katie, said.
Summer, who is also a student at CSUSM, had a different perspective.
"I wish the campus would
do something about it; it's to
the point where they're harassing people. It's not even
freedom of speech anymore
when it becomes harassment," Summer said.
According to the Christian
Bible, when Jesus spoke of
repentance and salvation he
attracted multitudes of people, reaching thousands of
hearts. Jesus approached his
people with love, care and no
judgment.
Jesus himself ate with sinners, and when those around
him judged him for doing so
he simply replied, "It is not
the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not
come to call the righteous,
but sinners." (Mark 2:17).
The most troubling part of
this commotion is the negative light it sheds on Christianity. If these people leave
a lasting bad impression on
students it may even have an
effect on the religious groups
on campus that are trying
to reach out to fellow classmates.
"They make religious
groups look bad on campus
because they make it seem
like God is an evil person but
God is not like that, he's the
opposite," Summer said.
The truth is that not all
Christians are judgmental,
hurtful, critical and naive.
In reality, it is ignorance that
leads people to do things
such as this.
The Bible says, "Let no
corrupting talk come out of
your mouths, but only such
as is good for building up,
as fits the occasion, that it
may give grace to those who
hear" (Ephesians 4:29).
This world is a big place.
Within the walls of every
city, state and country exists
people with different levels
of conviction and beliefs.
People shouldn't allow one
bad testimony to have a negative impact on their belief in
God, because in the end it's
just you and him.

Education is one of life's
most valuable opportunities.
With each generation we
are pushed to learn more and
more at an earlier age. With
most educational facilities
in the US, they aspire to cremate a well-cultured and well
rounded individual for higher education to follow.
With that being said, there's
a huge emphasis on learning
about black/African American culture during February,
mostly black history.
So why is it that we're
meant to be so well rounded,
yet we only learn about and
celebrate one month and one
specific race or background
at a time?
Before coming to college
I knew absolutely nothing
about Hispanic Heritage
Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15),
Women's Herstory Month
(March) or even LGBTQ
History Month (October). So
why is it that there's a huge
push to learn about black history, but not other histories?
In my opinion these need to
be taught in high schools and
learned about. They are part
of the real world, and they
deal with the understanding
of diversity and inclusivity
of others.
Some may argue that learning LGBTQ history or women's history may go against
certain religions or rights.
Others may argue that if
one culture is to be celebrated, like Hispanic Heritage •
month; and then all should
be celebrated.
Other cultures are celebrated throughout the year and I
believe that at least by high
school courses, they need to
be spoken about. This creates
tolerance, or at least an education on other cultures and
their success.
Some fail to realize that
we are a diverse country and
many things are contributed
from various cultures and
identities. The United States
is not made of one culture; '*
it's a melting pot full of
multiple. There's no reason
one culture should be taught
more than the next. Bringing these to high schools will
help develop knowledge and
tolerance of many different people that represent the
United States of America.

Hannah Hawker, our Philanthropy chair, recently
hosted an Autism Awareness
Event during U-Hour here at
CSUSM. During U-hour, Alpha Xi Delta passed out blue
lollipops with facts about
autism attached to them to
educate the public about how
prevalent it is becoming. It
has been recently announced
.that, "1 in 68 children are being diagnosed as having an
autism spectrum disorder"
(Autism Speaks). It is important that the public is educated about this disorder because of how often children
are now being diagnosed.
April 2 was World Autism
Awareness day. During this
day, we encouraged everyone to wear blue, as well as
to "Light it Up" blue during
the entire month of April.
This means that an individual can purchase a blue light
from Lowes or Home Depot
and replace their front porch
light with the blue light to
spread autism awareness.

GMOs have been a topic
of heated debate for many
years, but we are beginning
to see more evidence that
companies like Monsanto
are what is instigating the
problem.
According to a live RT report on Oct. 12, 2013, millions of people in 500 cities
worldwide marched against
the company Monsanto in
the hopes of influencing
others to boycott Genetically Modified Organisms
(GMOs).
GMOs are organisms
whose genetic material have
been altered using genetic
engineering techniques, and
thus do not naturally occur
in nature.
GMOs have been around
since the early 1990s, and
• have been a main contributor to the vapid growth in the
consumer marketplace.
With the genetic resistance
to diseases and pests intertwined with natural DNA,
the crops being yielded have
been substantially greater
than in previous years. But,
all it takes is one bad seed
to make any fruitful idea go
sour.

However, even with the
consideration of cross-contamination, the biotech has
consistently come out on top.
In 2012, Proposition 37
proposed to Californians the
idea of GMO Labeling. If
this proposition had passed it
would have made it mandatory for companies to label
their genetically modified
foods. The loss was by a fraction of only three peroent.

A new ad airing in Washington D.C. is putting pressure on the Supreme Court to
televise its proceedings.
This twenty-nine second ad
is funded by the Coalition for
Court Transparency. The Coalition is calling for cameras
in the Court in order to foster
a "more open judiciary."
Initially, this sounds like
an excellent idea. Why
shouldn't Americans get to
view Supreme Court proceedings when it is our tax
dollars that fund them anyway?
There is one problem with
this new initiative. However,
it is one that should perhaps
be given more thought by
those in support of transparency.
The issue is that if Supreme Court proceedings
are televised then there is a
greater likelihood that what-
The Court

by public
opinion
instead
o f the law which is
exactly why
many of the
justices are
against
the use
of cameras.
ever the justices say will be
distorted by various news
sources, and even perhaps
politicians, in order to meet
their own agendas.
The Court will be run by
public opinion instead of
the law - which is exactly
why many of the justices are
against the use of cameras.
While transparency is a
pillar of any thriving democracy, in this case there
is too much risk that justices
will give into the pressure to
make decisions simply to ap-
pease audiences.
The reason the justices have
their jobs in the first place is
because they have dedicated
a significant amount of their
lives to studying the law, and
they know the law far better than the average viewer
who would be watching the
proceedings. Because of this,
Supreme Court decisions
should not be based only on
public opinion, but in careful
deliberation and review of
the law.
The Coalition makes the
point that there have been
other courts in the nation that
allow their proceedings to be
televised. But the difference
here is that there is no jury in
the Supreme Court; the justices themselves are the jury.
Courts that allow their
proceedings to be televised
would never allow the jury's
deliberation and discussion
to be seen by the public. This
is another reason that having
cameras within the Supreme
Court would not work.

Holistic care versus toxic care for cancer patients
B Y ALEX MARAVILLAS
FASHION COLUMNIST
Current American medical practices do not necessarily cure or treat patients,
but instead prolong the life
of those with illness with the
use of expensive, artificial
and poisonous material.
Cancer is a prevalent evil
in our society. According to
the California Department
of Public Health (CDPH), in
2013 there was an estimated
144,800 citizens diagnosed
with cancer: making that
16 new cases every hour.
Alongside that data, cal.gov
also included that an estimated 55,485 Californians died;
approximately 152 deaths
each day.
As technology has advanced, so has the life expectancy of cancer patients.
"In the early 1900s, few
cancer patients had any hope
of long-term survival. In the

more than three out of five
. cancer patients will be alive
five years after diagnosis and
treatment," the CDPH said.
How will those three out
of five cancer patients fare
in those five years after diagnosis? Unfortunately, the
most common practice in the
United States incorporates
radiation and chemotherapy.
Chemo and radiation definitely have an effect on cancer, but they also have an effect on the patient's body and
mental state.
Chemotherapy and radiation ultimately destroy the
body along with the cancer,
causing patients to suffer in
a prolonged state of pain and
discomfort. Is that really surviving?
There are alternatives to
these toxic treatments. Becsusm.cougarchronicie@gmail.com

lieve it or not, eating and
using healthy, organic, raw
fruits and vegetables can
make you a healthier person
that lives longer.
Instead of treating the body
with nutrition, our hospitals
and doctors advise expensive
procedures and prescribe
harmful artificial chemicals.
Consuming and applying synthetic and poisonous
pharmaceuticals actually
deteriorates the body and
contains absolutely no nutritional value.
Why not start with your
own nutrition to heal yourself? Why wouldn't having a
healthy lifestyle for yourself
help?
Because chemotherapy
actually makes people feel
better? Really? I mean the
answer should be obvious by
now.
All you need is yourself and the knowledge of
healthy eating to help care

Harming the environment, Fracking ridiculous
BYCAITLYN THIBODEAU
STAFF WRITER
Hydraulic fracturing for
natural gas, better known as
"Fracking," has been a controversial topic in the news
recently because of pros and
cons surrounding this new
form of obtaining fossil fuels.
Despite all of the talk surrounding Fracking, not many
people actually know what
it is, and what effects it can
have on the environment.
According to What-IsFracking.com "Fracking, or
hydraulic fracturing, is the
process of extracting natural
gas from shale rock layers
deep within the earth ."
This website claims that
Fracking will result in both
internal and external benefits
to our country and suggests
that it is a completely sate
way to extract natural gas
from underground. However,
nowhere on this site does it
give any indication that this
method of extraction could
pose a threat to the environment or thé people that surround the site.
On the other side of the
spectrum, DangersofFracking .com dives deeper into the
chemicals used to undergo
this process.
D angersofFracking .com
asserts that during the pro-
cess of Fracking, "methane
gas and toxic chemicals leach
out from the system and contaminate nearby groundwater."
Furthermore, in the critically acclaimed documentary Gasland by Josh Fox,
Fox travels to areas where
Fracking occurs. During his
travels, Fox uncovers a number of severe issues related
to Fracking; such horrors included sickness and tap water catching fire. He asks his
viewers to take action and
speak out against Fracking
and the negative impacts it
has on our environment.
Like Fox, I ask you to
look at the biological effects
Fracking-has on the environment and do research into
exactly what it is and how it
can affect the environment
we live in. It's easy to pretend like it's not important
when it's not happening in
your backyard, and it's even
easier to ignore when money
is to be made in our capitalistic^ society. But, if we
continue to let this go on it
will eventually lead to detrimental environmental effects
that may never be fixed. So
get informed and speak out
against Fracking,
(Cancer continued f rom
page 8).
and even cure any illness you
may have.
The reality is that eating
and applying healthy, organic substances speeds up
our immune system and can
makes it stronger, which
can then lead you to heal
completely. Most cures start
within our immune systems.
It's that easy, and there's
nothing wrong with it.
Just ask the people at the
Gerson Therapy Institute of
San Diego. It is a non-profit
organization that dedicates
its time providing education
and training in the Gerson
Therapy.
The therapy was originally
developed in the 1920's by
Dr. Max Gerson and consists
of a non-stop treatment of a
raw, organic vegetarian diet
as well as coffee enemas and
natural supplements.
According to the Gerson
Therapy website, the program "treats many different
conditions by healing the
body as a whole, rather than
selectively targeting a specific condition or symptom."
Unfortunately, due to U.S.
restrictions on providing holistic medical care for cancer
patients, the closest Gerson
Therapy Clinic is located in
Mexico. The cancer-healing
center has an extremely strict
protocol.
Aside from the therapy's
dietary guidelines, all prospective patients must go
through an application pro-
cess and meet a certain criteria before being admitted
to the clinic. Once admitted,
patients must bring a loved
one or companion with them
and are recommended to stay
for three weeks for optimal
care and training.
After their three-week stay,
patients are then able to go
home to continue their treatment on their own.
If you are interested in
learning more about cancer
treatment alternatives, check

website for further details:

You can also watch the
Gerson Therapy documentary and see first hand what
they do via Netflix or YouTube, which is entitled "The

Dr, Edward Balian seeks to encourage students
B Y AMANDA LENOX
FEATURES EDITOR
Professor Edward Balian
knew he always wanted to
own his own businesses.
He owned hisfirstbusiness
at the age of 29, before earning his doctoral degree at
Wayne State University. He
has owned a number of businesses ever since, including
a photography magazine,
recording studio, vintage car
business, publishing company and a consulting business
in market research.
A career in business "just
felt very natural..! had that
entrepreneurial spirit from
the beginning," Balian said.
Dr. Balian believes that his
experiences in school "was
the spark that got [him] into
teaching." He explains that
the positive feedback he received during class presentations from peers and professors helped him to consider
teaching as a career.
"When class presentations
are part of a course, students
often want to shy away from
it. They're intimidated, embarrassed; it turned out to be
one of the most important
elements for me in my entire
career in teaching," Balian
said.
Professor Balian had been
out of teaching for a few
years and was running his
other businesses. He realized
he missed teaching, so he applied to California State University, San Marcos for an
adjunct position and started
teaching in January 2007 in
the College of Business Administration.
When asked what he loves
most about teaching, Balian
responded without hesitation
that it is the "students...and
really trying to help them in
their future careers."
He hopes that when students take his classes, they
learn "more about the practicality of the real world in
business and otherwise." He
encourages* class participation and engagement with
the material.
"You can't afford to be
a good student. In today's
world, global marketplace,
U.S. economy, you've got to
be outstanding," Balian tells
his students.
Professor Balian usually
teaches Data Analysis (BUS
302), Foundations of Operations Management (OM 302)
and Operations Management
(OM 305). He also currently
has five senior experience
research teams. Outside of
teaching, Dr. Balian performs in a band called The
George-Edwards Group. He
also writes and publishes
many books (academic and
non-academic), including
Buddha Plays 18 and The
Graduate Research Guidebook (fourth edition). Professor Balian will soon be
releasing a new book titled
Buddha Meets the Beatles.

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9,2014
*EEditor:
ook Review
Drawn by humor, wit and seifi
Enter Zimbabwe, 2194.
Political and social turmoil
that once plagued this African country cut down more
than thought possible.
The streets are safer than
they were once upon a time,
and the one to thank for this
brighter future is Zimbabwe's most powerful man,
General Matsika. But the
gangs of Zimbabwe do not
take kindly to Matsika's valiant efforts. His reign is not
safe, and neither are his children.
Nancy Farmer's brilliant
science fiction j iovel, The
Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
analyzes a futuristic society
whilst composing a story of
adventure and thrill. Still
as poignant and charming
as when it was published in
1994, Farmer's novel is well
worth the read.
If deep novels aren't your
taste, then fear not. Farmer
delivers humor and clever
character writing in spades.
When Matsika's children are
kidnapped, his wife takes
matters into her own hands
and enlists the help of three
mutant detectives so named
Ear, Eye, and Arm.
Ear's powerful sensitivity to sound, Eye's equally
powerful, keen sense of sight
and Arm's empathie sense of
touch all must soon be used
to save Matsika's children.
But Tendai, Rita and Kuda
embark on a perilous adventure of their own as they
flee from danger to safety
then back again to danger,
meeting both enemies and
allies along the way. Their
once sheltered lifestyle collides against the brutal practices of the slums, and they
must learn how to adapt in
this new world if they hope
to survive. Survive long
enough, at least, for the three
odd detectives to hopefully
rescue them just in time.
The Ear, the Eye, and the
Arm earned a well-deserved
Newberry, Honor Award
since its publication, and it
remains a powerful piece of
literature in the science fiction genre.
Shield policy [which deals
with alcohol, drugs, hazing
and related issues] and our
current risk management
policy at CSUSM. That article didn't change anything
[with our procedures] because we have correct and
proper policies in place, but
it reminded us that we need
to look towards the future."
While SAE has nationally
received negative publicity, few articles have highlighted the many chapters
doing positive work in their
communities. For the past
six years, the California
Alpha-Gamma chapter has
participated in a project in
New Orleans where" they
rebuild the area due to Hurricane Katrina and the recent oil spills. They also do
a beach clean up on a regular basis. CSUSM's chapter
also donates a lot of money
to the Children's Miracle
Network and to researching
Crohn's Disease. McKinney
explained that thé fraternity's
adoption of the second cause
is due in part to the fact that
two of their chapiter brothers
have Crohn's and Colitis.
California Alpha-Gamma
believes strongly in not only
giving back to their community, but their members being
leaders on campus as well.
"We have a lot of brothers
in our fraternity that give
back to the community, like
ASI President Matt Walsh
and Joseph Sandoval, who
was the O-Team director last year and currently
works for the USU. We also
have Charles Sullivan, who
worked at the LGBTQA
Pride Center for a while,"
McKinney said. *
CSUSM's chapter aims to
continue this trend of giving back to the community
and building strong campus leaders in future years.
McKinney says that implementing the pledging ban is
an honor that will help SAE
to become even stronger.

42 sheds light on Jackie Robinson
B YZACH SCHANZENBACH
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
"I don't know about you,
but I'm feeling 22." So goes
this popular Taylor Swift
song about living it up. Well
I don't know about her, but
I'm feeling more like "42."
Yeah, I'm an old soul, but
that's not what I'm talking
about.
42 is a 2013 baseball
movie that tells a true story.
Didn't see that one coming,
did you? The story is that
of Jackie Robinson, the first
black player to play Major
League Baseball (MLB) and
break the racial lines of his
day.
Like any true story that
deals with race as a basic plot
element, the story is inspiring and uplifting. Chadwick
Boseman does a wonderful
job reincarnating Robinson's
story, as do all the other characters.
What surprised me most
about thisfilmwas who was

chosen to play MLB executive Branch Rickey; Harrison Ford. Most people don't
think of true stories when
they hear that name, but here
he is, and, just like always,
he scores big in acting.
Naturally racism gets the
boo of disapproval from this
movie, which is most prominent in Philadelphia Phillies
manager Ben Chapman's
(Alan Tudyk) incessant rambling against him during a
game about halfway through
the movie. Needless to say,
^
Chapman gets his just desserts.
There's also a strong endorsement of "turning the
other cheek," mostly from
Rickey to Robinson. 42
makes it clear that while refusing to strike back at someone who struck youfirstcan*»
be painfully difficult, it is the
better choice.
42 is a movie that speaks
for itself; capturing the essence of a movie like that
in a measly 500 words just
won't cut it. 42 gets 5 paws.

April 18-20 • Anaheim Convention C enter
Avid comic fans join industry guests and stars at the
Anaheim Convention Center
for WonderCon 2014.
A former northern Californian convention established
by comic vendor John Barrett, this event grew to become a "sister" show of the
famous Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC).
Organizers, according to the
Comic-Con website, moved
the show to Southern California when the Moscone
Center in San Francisco
went through construction in
2012. A year later, it received
a new name: Comic-Con International Presents WonderCon Anaheim (WCA), after
having successful years at its
new location.
WonderCon will take
place this year during Easter weekend, April 18 to 20.
The special guests include
co-publisher Jim Lee of DC
Comics, artist Cliff Chang
and writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Earlier in February, the
Divergent: "The Mediocre Dark Horse"
movie. Other events include
panels on a wide variety of
topics and a costume masquerade. Tickets may still be

A teen heroine living in a
dystopian society realizes a
need for corrupt government
to be taken down. Throw
in some action sequences,
impressive visual effects,
young up and coming actors/actresses, a love story
and a best-selling novel as
inspiration and you have the
formula for a successful Hollywood blockbuster.
Centered in post-apocalyptic Chicago, Veronica Roth
based her story on a dystopian society where citizens are
divided among five groups
(factions): the Selfless "Abnegation," the Honest "Candor," Peaceful "Amity,"
Knowledgeable "Erudite"
and the Brave "Dauntless."
In their society, they evaluate every coming of age teen
in order to determine which
faction they belong in.
Abnegation-born, Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene
Woodley) learned that her results were inconclusive. This
causes her to be "Divergent,"
someone the government
cannot easily manipulate and
control. Eager to keep her
identity hidden, Tris claimed
Dauntless as her chosen faction and must not only prevent the government from

Student Matt Weaver, who
was arrested last month on
suspicion of tampering with
computer ballots in campus elections, is also under
investigation f o r about 700
possible cases of identity
theft f ro m students, a Cal
State San Marcos spokeswoman said last week.
"Yes that is^true. We know
that about 700 passwbrds
and user names were compromised," said Margaret
Lutz Chantung, a CSUSM
public information officer.
"I am not aware of any staff
or faculty members compromised."
A fte r discovering the account break-ins on March 15,
the university's Instructional
& Information Technology
Services (IITS) locked the
compromised accounts and
the affected students were
required to reset their passwords, she said.
Accusations tying Weaver
to possible identity theft first
arose after the university suspected someone had hacked
into its computers and tampered with files in the elections f o r Associated Students
Inc., the university reported

The voting — all of which

instead of announcing election results on March 16, the

Weaver was jailed March

STAFF W RI TER
In the wake of the theft of
more than 700 student passwords this month, a university official said the campus
is in the midst of a reconsideration of the student Internet usage policy.
Until now, Cal State San
Marcos students were sent
an email each semester suggesting that they change
their passwords to avoid
identity t heft . Faculty members, by contrast, are required to change their passwords every 12 weeks.
Teresa Macklin, who
works in the university's instructional and information
technology services department, said that as the result
of the identity crimes uncovered on campus this month,
the university is reconsider-
ing its policy, and may require students to periodically change their passwords.
In the meantime, she advises students to be vigilant
in protecting their privacy
online.
"Students need to be carefu l where t hey'r e signing in.
They shouldn't share their
password, they should have
a password that's sufficient-

Athlete spotlight:
Why you shouldn't skip breakfast Ashley Aronson
CURTI S BOVEE
S TAF F W RI TE R
In the United! States, breakfas t is o fte n overlooked as a
result of the hectic lifestyles
that many of us have fallen
into. Unfortunately, skipping
breakfast has proven t o b e
detrimental to o ne' s health.
Getting a healthy start in
the morning by eating a nutritious breakfast will allow
your body to reap m ajo r benefits.
According to the National
Institute of Health (NIH),
people w h o eat breakfast are
less likely t o b e overweight
than those who skip breakfas t regardless of if they eat
mor e throughout the day.
Furthermore, eating breakfas t a ffect s your satiety center, influencing how f ul l you
f ee l during the day, preventin g impulsive snacking and
binge eating.
Whether you are hungry
or not in the morning, you
should still eat something.
Breakfast provides the energy you need to begin your
day arid can boost your
mood, according to the NIH.
Additionally, according to
t h e Centers f o r Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
eating a nutritional breakfast
has been linked to positive
short-term effects on cognitive functioning and alertness
in college students. Knowing
that eating breakfast can potentially cause you to excel
in academics should be more
than enough reason to start
doing it.
While it is extremely important to your health to eat
breakfast, what y ou'r e eating is just as important. Eat
foods that are more satiating
during breakfast, includ-
ing f ruits, vegetables, lean
meats, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Eating
these foods not only during
breakfast but throughout the
day will cause you to feel f ul l
longer, preventing unnecessary eating or snacking.
It is important to avoid eating foods with added sugars
as; these foods have no contribution to satiety and will
ultimately cause you to eat
more throughout the day.
Instead of eating high sugar
foods, try eating a breakfast
with more fiber; y ou'l l eat
the same amount of f ood ,
while eating less calories and
being f ul l for longer.
Take the extra 20 minutes
in the morning to create a
healthy breakfast pattern.
Not only will you feel better,
but you might also increase
academic performance and
energy throughout your day.

Finally, after a five month
hiatus, baseball lovers of
all ages will get a new Majo r League Baseball (MLB)
season. I t' s the return of the
aroma of freshly cut grass,
foot-long hot dogs and buttered popcorn that only MLB
opening days can bring.
The season kicks off
Wednesday, April 4 when
the defending World Series
Champions, the St. Louis
Cardinals take on the newly
named Miami Marlins: The
remainder of the teams will
begin their seasons April 5
- 6 and hunt for October begins.
Southern California will
look to once again return to
promise land that is the playoffs , with local teams like the
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, San Diego Padres and
the Los Angeles Dodgers
building on promising 2011
seasons and making some
important off-season moves.
Look for these teams to
make it awfully difficult f o r
other teams to make it out of
SoCal a winner.
The San Diego Padres
finished dead last in the National League (NL) west division last year with a 71^91.
The Padres will be looking
to make their way out of the
basement of the MLB and
make great strides in progress as they look toward
continuing the rebuilding
process. Padres added power
son with the acquisition of
outfielder Carlos Quentin.
The Padres lost all-star closing pitcher Heath Bell but
replaced him with veteran
closer Huston Street.
The Angels made some
huge noise this off-season
with the signing of future
hall of fame first basemen,
Albert Pujols and All-Star
pitcher C J . Wilson. The Angels finished second in their
division at 86-76. Expect the
Angels to be the favorites to
win the American League
(AL) west division with their
juggernaut offense.
The Angels aren't the only
team in L A , the Dodgers
also call LA home and were
just purchased by an interest
group which included NBA
hall-of-famer and former
Lakers great Magic Johnson to the tune of $2 billion.
The Dodgers are coming
off a season where they finished strong down the stretch
and ended the season with
a record of 82-79. Dodgers
re-signed All-Star centerfielder and MVP runner-up
Matt Kemp and have the Cy
Young award winner f o r best
pitcher in the NL in Clayton
Kershaw who looks to only
get stronger after winning 21
games last season.

Associate Vice President f o r
Educational Equity and Diversity, Derrick C rawford ,
on Tuesday, March 13.
Sonny L ack' s
mother ,
Henrietta L acks , grew u p in
Clover, Virginia during the
1920s. On Sept. 19, 1950,
she was diagnosed with cervical cancer when doctors
f oun d a tumor in her cervix.
A fte r a hard battle with the
cancer and multiple surgeries , she died on October 4 ,
1951.
But something happened
b efor e she died that changed
the f ac e of the medical field.
During a surgery t o r emov e
h e r tumor, Dr. Johns Hopkins saved a f e w of her cells
without her permission f o r
research on Polio, an epidemic at the t ime . Once sent
to Dr. George Gey, the research head of this p roject ,
Gey discovered that L acks '
cells did not die unlik e the
hundreds of cells tested b6for e her cells.
Almost 20 years later, they
had taken her cells t o space
and b ack , as well as discovered cures f o r many diseases.
And yet her f amily still was
not i nforme d of it. In spite
of now k nowing of it , L acks '
f amil y is still not being compensated f o r i t , and many of
them d o not have health insurance.
"[An apology f ro m Johns

have been important t o the
family, I think. They h av e
not apologized. I d on' t think
w e should b e compensated ,
but as they start commercializing her c ells , I d o think that
w e should b e compensated
f o r that. I still d on' t h av e

Sonny Lacks said.
C rawfor d also asked Lacks
what h e knew about his
mother.
" The y always tell m e that

C rawfor d then asked Lacks

"[Her legacy] is a g ift . Just
reading this book touches
everybody' s lives. She is j us t

said.
T h e event was followed b y
a Q&A discussion f ro m the

T h e legacy of Henrietta

can b e read about in Rebecca

C ésa r Chávez:
Latino icon for change
"
Migrant workers1 rights activist honored for l egac y
DANE A VANDERVELDEN
S TAFF W RI TER
Holding permanent vigil
at the top of the staircases
to thè l ef t of the school library stands Cal State San
Marcos's tribute to one of
the most highly regarded Latino civil rights activists in
modern history: a life-sized
metallic sculpture o f César
Estrada Chávez.
Perched above the saying,
"Sí, se puede" (Chávez's
personal slogan, meaning
"Yes, it is possible" or "Yes,
it can be done"), the statue
pays homage to the numerous advancements C háve z
made in the steep uphill battle for immigrant workers'
rights.
Whereas CSUSM honors
Chávez with this sculpture,
March 31 has been designated as César Chávez Day by
the states, Colorado, Texas
and California. Across these
three states, many public
schools, community colleges, libraries and other state
government offices close f o r
the day t o honor the memory
of Ch&vez's work, as well.
According to the Cesar
Chavez Foundation website,
Chavez was born March 31,
1927 in Yuma, Arizona to a
Mexican-American family.
Chavez's family owned a
ranch and grocery store, but
eventually lost them both to
the turmoil of the Great Depression.
Forced to seek work,
Chavez's family headed west
to California to become migrant workers. It was there
that Chavez began to encounter the struggles that his
fellow Mexican-Americans
were experiencing on a daily
basis.
A fte r graduating the eighth
grade, Chavez worked the
fields f o r two years to help
support his family before
suiting up and serving in the
U.S. Navy f o r two years.
Upon returning to civilian l ife , Chavez went back
to the fields but quickly established himself as an organizer f o r the Community
Service Organization (CSO),
a Latino civil rights group.
He traveled the country urg-
ing Mexican Americans, to
register to vote, and also
delivered speeches on the
rights of migrant workers.
He would eventually become
the organization's president
in 1958.
In 1962, Chavez left the
CSO and co-founded the
National Farm Workers
Association (NFWA), another organization geared
solely toward the advancement of immigrant workers .
Throughout the 60s, 70s and
80s, Chavez would lead numerous strikes across the nation in pursuit of wage hikes
f o r the various immigrant
fruit and vegetable pickers.
He rarely initiated a strike
that did not succeed in its
goal.
Chavez passed away in
1993, but since then, his
legacy has made him as a
revered historical icon in the
Latino community. His active support f o r immigrant
workers and his unwavering
faith in the ability of grassroots movements t o bring
about national change have
become legendary.

A memorial service f o r
CSUSM student Madison
Howe was held at the McMahon house on April 1 »just
one week after his passing.
Prior to the service, Madison's parents greeted guests,
consisting of friends, family,
students and faculty, among
other relations. His parents
expressed genuine interest in
hearing about how those u n familiar to them had known
their son.
Nearby, a table was set
up with photos of Madison,
some of his favorite books
including works b y George
Orwell and Thomas Paine,
and a sign in sheet and album in which guests could
write about their fondest
memories of Madison.
Following a performance
of traditional bagpipe music, the service began with
F E AT U R E S 5
of Madison Dexter Howe
a prayer, a brief word f ro m
the pastor and a reading of
Psalm 23.
Madison's father, Haydn,
then •delivered a eulogy,
which spoke highly of Madison's gracious attitude, even
in times of pain when he
was being treated f o r his peripheral pulmonary arterial
stenosis, a condition which
affected the arteries in his
lungs. At one point in the
eulogy, Haydn said how he
would love to tell everyone
about his son, but that Madison would not want him to,
so as to preserve every person's individual perception
of him. i
Shortly after, a communal
eulogy took place in which
anyone in attendance could
share a brief anecdote about
his or her relationship -with
Madison. A consensus was
reached amidst the stories
shared, and that was that
Madison was a genuinely
good person who selflessly
gave of himself to everyone
around him, greatly enriching lives.
As a gift to those in attendance, and representative of
Madison's enthusiasm and
talent f o r playing guitar,
each guest was given a guitar
pick.
An essay, written by Madison when he was 17 years
old, entitled "Why is L if e so
Hard" was included in the
memorial program and read
aloud by the pastor.
In thé essay, Madison set
out to answer such questions
as "Why is l if e so hard?" and
"Why do I exist?" Throughout the essay, he addresses his
personal insecurities, namely
defining himself and finding
his purpose, and overcoming
those insecurities. He then
addresses his illness, and instead of allowing it to inhibit
him, he states, "You just do
what you have to do to stay
alive."
With his inspiring philosophy, and the referencing of
the philosophies of V iktôrE .
Frankl and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Madison made a powerfu l conclusion.
"I have come to realize
that without negatives there
will never be any positives,"
Madison wrote.
His ability to accept his illness as a negative, and also
as a way to see things positively, allowed Madison t o
find his purpose in his suffering.
"Simply existing seems
now to be a great purpose,
and still, as young as I am,
I have many years to go,"
Madison wrote.

César Chávez Day o ff ?
JESSIE GAMBRELL
S TAF F W RI TE R

Last Friday, CSUSM took
a holiday in honor of César
Chávez.
César Chávez Day is< a
holiday that celebrates a man
who fought f o r MexicanAmericans, who worked
farms in the U.S., to have
equal rights and to be treated
respectfully. He helped them
to get decent labor treatment,
such as fresh water and bathrooms to use on the j ob . He
was also a big activist f o r the
unionization of farm laborers.
Our school has a statue of
him at the top of the César
Chávez stairs, in honor of
him because CSUSM is located in a very agricultural
region.
This is one reason our
school decided to take César
Chávez Day off in place
of Presidents' Day. All Cal
State Universities have to
take the same amount of
days o ff . In February, some
students wrote chalk on
some stairways questioning
why Presidents' Day was not
favored over César Chávez
Day. Other students d on' t
mind the observance of this*
holiday.
"I know we have the César
Chávez statue, so i t is like we
are celebrating him like our
mascot. It kind of makes us
different. I d on' t have any
hard feelings about it," freshman Bonnie Miani said.
Presidents' Day is a nax tional holiday celebrating
first U.S. president, George
Washington's,
birthday.
Since 1879, most schools,
colleges, businesses, the
entire military and government have taken this federal
holiday o ff . Why doesn't
CSUSM?
Many students felt very
strongly in opposition toward the fact that our school
takes this day off instead of
Presidents' Day:
"This is America. Honor
the holiday that honors our
presidents," freshman Bret
Unity said.
"I think we honor [Chávez]
enough. We should give our
American presidents a day,"
senior Weston Ryan said.
Personally I feel that we
should observe (only) César
Chávez Day as respect f o r
a man who fought f o r civil/
equal rights f o r farm workers and who achieved the
"American Dream", but not
in place of our American
presidents. One of the great
things about our country is
the courage and bravery of
our Founding Fathers and
past presidents, so why ever
would we not honor them?
They made the backbone
for our nation; that in itself
should be reason enough to
have Presidents' Day o ff , let
alone the fact that a majority of students do not even
have classes on Fridays, so
Presidents' Day would be
more of a holiday f o r the entire campus. So what can we
do? Have our voice be heard
and speak out, this is the best
way that we as students can
get things done, our voices
and opinions are our main
tools f o r standing up f o r
what is right and I believe
that it is our duty as American citizens to stand up f o r
what is right.
Apparently
emboldened
by the persistent lack of censure, Weaver now finds himself charged with multiple
felonies. But is he the only
person potentially guilty of
unacceptable behavior in the
campus' seemingly permissive environment?
How about the other candidates accused of running a s a
slate, a violation of the university election code?
How about the ASI "higher
u ps " who supposedly
leaked early
election returns to a
favored
student candi-
date?
How about the staff member accused of berating students at a campus candidate
forum f o r exercising their
f re e speech right?
How about the administration whose reluctance to act
condones harassment and
discrimination, cheating and
verbal abuse?
CSUSM is not "Animal
House." We live in a real
world, where words wound,
where harassment inhibits
learning, where wayward
college students go t o prison—à world where the administration's avoidance of
confrontation leads to costly
collisions between campus
community standards and
people who feel entitled to
d ef y them. Nope, compared
to CSUSM, "Animal House"
looks like kindergarten.

Last month, Bioware's
"Mass Effect 3 " was released
to critical acclaim from
many review websites such
as IGN.com, Gamespot.com
and lUP.com. While professional reviewers are pleased
with the game, die-hard fans
of the series have their objections to the game's ending.
The Mass Effect series has
always stressed the iniportance of the player' s decisions within the game's storyline leading to numerous
outcomes and endings. In
the previous games, endings
would be specifically tailored to the choices players
made. These choices would
determine whether certain
characters would live or die
and the fate of several key
locations. In "Mass Effect 3"
however, the endings d on' t
quite reach the same level of
uniqueness.
Fans started several social
media campaigns including "Retake Mass Effect
- Child's Play." The group,
set up through the website
Chipin.com, was established
to raise funds f o r the Child's
Play charity while raising
awareness f o r their dissatisfaction with "Mass Effect
3 's " ending. Though the
group is no longer accepting
donations, "Retake Mass E f fect " has accumulated more
than $80,000 f o r the Child's
Play charity.
Thankfully, their pleas
have not gone unnoticed.
On March 21, Bioware cor
founder Dr. Ray Muzyka responded in the blog section
of Bioware.com.
" ...Exec . Producer Casey
Hudson and the team are
hard at work on a number of
game content initiatives that
will help answer the questions, providing more clarity
f o r those seeking further closure to their journey. You'll
hear more on this in April,"
said Muzyka.
Muzyka's post signals an
important victory f o r the petitioners and fans alike—it
lets fans know that developers are listening. The creators
care about the f ans ' reactions
to the game and are trying to
resolve the issues.
Whether Bioware's update to the game is well received by the fans remains
to be seen. Hopefully, other
developers will take notice
of the effort fans have gone
through to change a franchise they care for.

FREDRICK MISLEH

When the news
broke over Spring
Break that alleged
election fraud occurred in the ASI
elections, I was
pretty shocked. I
thought to myself,
"How could those
running be that
corrupt?" Then I
heard it was Matt Weaver, an
editor of The Koala, a satire
publication that has recently
gone quiet on the CSUSM
campus. To m e , that explained everything.
N o one should be shocked
by Weaver's actions. His
publication, The Koala, is
barely tolerated by the administration as an expression of our constitutional
rights to f re e speech and f re e
press, even if the publication lists ten steps to commit
rape and not get
caught. Weaver's
involvement with
the publication is
an indicator of his
character: foolish,
arrogant, and corrupt.
Weaver wanted
to be ASI president, but he felt
the rules d idn' t apply to him;
maybe no one had ever held
him accountable to social
rules we all essentially follow. No one told him issues
like rape and drug abuse are
not acceptable t o j ok e about,
nor did anyone tell him unlawful access to a computer/
database, identity theft and
election fraud (the three
charges Weaver was indicted
would land him in jai l but
also were socially irresponsible and publicly
embarrassing.
In one sense,
h o we v e r ,
the

body is lucky
Weaver was

couldn't

as Will D ennison , the novel
tells t h e story of a group of
f riend s in N e w York, a f e w
of w ho m are making e ffort s

they spend their f re e time interacting at b ars , each o thers '

through some of the g roup' s
shared interest in poetry,
w hil e experimenting with
substances and their sexualities..
T h e murder subplot* which
occurs towards the end of t h e

a murder which took place
among the real-lif e Beats in
the 1940s.

Chris Brown's latest single, "Turn Up The Music" is catchy
and up tempo, sdlf makes for a perfect workout song. It's
a good idea to ijtee it in the beginning of the workout because it keeps you motivated.
Though J. Cote's song, "Work Out" isn't necessarily talking about exorcise, the title goes alorlg with the theme

With the scandal from last
year's elections, students
are looking forward to what
interesting things might
happen with the 2013 ASI
elections. So far, ASI Presidential candidate Daniel
Cruz has dropped just a week
before elections started leaving Matt Walsh and Israel
Irizarry on the ballot.
The week of March 25-28,
candidates will be campaigning during U-Hour and in between classes. Signs encouraging students to vote have
already been placed around
campus.
Candidates f or ASI President are competing with
what they believe students
are looking for in an ASI
President. Irizarry, a fourthyear Marketing major who
held the position of College
of Business Administrative
Representative this past year
states, "I've seen the other
side of campus and have met
people I haven't met before.
Therefore I feel there needs
a different face for president,
coming from a different
background."
In his campaign video
Irizarry states "I feel the
communication and diversity
could be improved here."

"the other candidates are
great but I 'm a listener." He
also explains his plans on
how to change this epidemic,
"My major is marketing so I
have that background. I want
to focus on social media like
newsletters, YouTube links,
etc."
Since being actively part
of ASI Board of Directors,
Irizarry knows what it takes
to improve student involvement. "People still don't
know who to go to on campus. I want the students to
know that I am available
through email, phone, text,
Facebook. However, ASI is
the face of the ASI President,
not me. It's a team effort."
Irizarry mentioned how the
controversial Student Success Fee has a miscommunication among students and
the faculty. Walsh, who has
been actively participating
in the process as a student
representative on the Task
Force states, "Well I 'm part
of the Task Force and they
don't have a say. Our goal
is to solicit information to
the students and back to the
Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC). We are more
behind the scenes like what
the website will look like or
dates that work for the students."
In addition to his focus
on the Student Success Fee,
Walsh has three main goals,
"There are three groups on
campus that don't have a
voice and they are graduate
students, extended learning
students and the veterans
center. They pay for ASI fees
so they should be given the
appropriate resources. Second, I don't want just one
student sitting on a bunch
of committees but more students to participate. There
The Dream is Now Campaign, following the hopes
of The DREAM Act, is currently holding a contest from
March 5 through April 5 to
encourage students throughout the country to sign an online petition and submit art
(videos, songs, drawings and
poems) displaying their support for The DREAM Act.
The bipartisan legislation,
originally developed by Sen.
Orrin Hatch [R-UT] and Sen.
Richard Durbin [D-IL] aims
to allow undocumented students to be eligible to complete their college degree or
two years of military service
in providing them a 6-yearlong conditional path to citizenship, according to dreamact.info.
The Dream is Now cam-
paign is targeting college
students for outreach in the
hopes of spreading the word
throughout campuses and advocating for reform.
The contest is to win a
chance at screening the
Dream is Now documentary
on the campus of their college or University.
The students who gain the
most* signatures from their
college or university will
also receive an all expenses
paid trip to Washington, D.C.
to watch the premiere* of the
documentary.
TheDreamIsNow.org was
originally created by Laurene Powell Jobs—widow
of the late Apple co-founder
Steve Jobs—and filmmaker

Unfortunately for many
commuter students on campus, the North County Transit District (NCTD) Sprinter
light-rail system is out of
service due to maintenance
issues and safety concerns
with the current braking system.
Effective Monday, March
11, the Sprinter will continue
to be out-of-service for an
unknown amount of time.
NCTD officials have stated
that there is no set date for
when it is expected to resume running.
For students, this means
the reliable train won't be
stopping at its convenient locations for some time.
"It came at a bad time,
having been before school
finished for the semester for
CSUSM students. It is what
it is, though. They can't sacrifice safety and at least they
are providing an alternative
with bus transportation in the
meantime," second-year-student Brett Goudy said.
Since the Sprinter is a main
source for transportation for
many students and residents
ranging from Oceanside to
Escondido, the NCTD has
provided alternate bus routes
to accommodate the lack of
service throughout North
County. Two supplemental
bus routes are the 618 Sprinter Express to travel from the
Oceanside Transit Center to
the Vista Transit Center operating from 4:35 a.m. until
12:18 a.m. (Monday-Friday),
and the 620 Sprinter Express
traveling from the Oceanside
Transit Center to the Escondido Transit Center every 30
minutes beginning at 4:10
a.m. until 9:40 p.m. (Monday- Friday).
To offer further accommodation to passengers,
NCTD staff, also known as
the "Blue Crew" will be stationed to aid passengers with
information to alternative
routes to make the transition
from train to bus easier.
According to Tom Tulley,
the Chief of Safety at NCTD,
a Recovery Task Force has
been assigned to aid information and questions as long
as the Sprinter remains outof-service.
According to the "Backon-the-Track Blog" written
by Tulley, the main issue
causing the Sprinter service
to be temporarily suspended
occurred during testing of
the brakes on March 7. Management was alerted when
maintenance discovered a
potential issue with the brake

THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,2013
SPRINTER FROM I
Rollin' with
UPD
B Y BEN CARLSON
STAFF WRITER
Everyone owes it to themselves to ride along with a
police officer at least once
in their lives, preferably not
after an arrest, of course.
Though I knew the chance
of witnessing some action
on the safest campus in
California would be minuscule, riding with the University Police Department
(UPD) had its moments.
I started the day at the UPD
headquarters where Sergeant
Troy Holmes performed a
quick background check on
me, making sure, as he put it,
"I wasn't a terrorist." I then
took a tour through the building with the sergeant, viewing the UPD holding cells,
interrogation room and the
police armory which stores
most of their weapons. The
most eye-opening room in
the building, though, was
the surveillance room. Dozens of screens fill the dark
room, all of them displaying multiple camera angles
on campus. This room runs
24 hours a day and there
is constant focus on all of
the buildings, hallways,
and walkways on CSUSM.
According to Chief McManus, there has been over
100 cameras installed on
CSUSM since a few years
ago. The rise in surveillance is not just an effort to
keep the campus safe, but
was a response to the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007.
"Virginia Tech changed
everything," the chief said
in between drags of his
cigarette. "Security measures were installed that is
now common on most universities in California."
As for the ride itself, I
cannot seem to convey the
experience of striking fear
into fellow students as they
walked by without some sort
of glee. The joy of wearing
aviators and staring down
students with a stern expression is something every person should experience before
they die. I also found the banter between myself and the
officers enjoyable, though
my stories were pathetic
compared to their own tales
of close calls and heroism.
Despite the quiet day, I enjoyed my time with the officers of the UPD. CSUSM
should be grateful to have
such an outstanding group of
men and women patrolling
the campus. Though we may
not always be thrilled when
a cop rolls by, it doesn't
matter. They can see you
anyway, and at least if they
can see you, you'll be safe.
pads, causing them to create a squeal when they were
used. After replacing the
brake pads, maintenance discovered the rotors (a metal
plate that applies pressure to
the brakes) were wearing out
quicker than projected.
On his blog, Tulley offers
a two-step plan to bring the
Sprinter to recovery; safely
and efficiently including a

zenship if The DREAM Act
is passed. According to Terrence's video, he is one of
2.1 million youths in America brought to the U.S. as a
young child.
"On top of that [the estimated $23,000 per person it
would cost to deport undocumented citizens], we stand
to lose an estimated $329
billion by 2030 by denying
them the chance to become
taxpaying citizens and economic innovators. We can't
afford to waste their talents,"
plan of action, consisting of
testing the brakes, temporarily interrupting operation,
and working with specialists
of brake systems in testing
stopping distance, efficiency
and predicting projected usage of equipment.
Tulley stated in his twostep plan to bring the Sprinter
to recovery, "As soon as any
irregularity or issue with a
vital system like the brakes is

Opposition to the DREAM
Act references the hidden

Extended Learning gets high marks at conference
CSUSM addresses the Latino male shortage in education and attepts to find solution
B Y BOBBY RIVERA
STAFF WRITER
The lack of Latino males
in education was the topic of
discussion at the "Changing
Face of the American Educator" symposium conference held earlier this month.
CSUSM addressed the issue
and has taken action by appointing Arturo Ocampo as
the university chief diversity
officer.
The conference at the Mt.
San Jacinto Menifee campus
on Saturday, March 9 was
co-sponsored by Extended
Learning and the local nonprofit group Encuentros
Leadership.
"Encuentros Leadership
was organized in 2003 to
address the alarmingly high
school dropout rates of Latino males within North
County San Diego," Antonio Mora, board chair of
Encuentros Leadership and
CSUSM alumnus, said. "Encuentros Leadership was
formed to address the critical
educational, social and economic issues impacting the
quality of education and life
opportunities for Latino boys
within our community."

Saturday afternoon the
20-2 Cougars 'baseball took
on Point Loma Nazarene
University who will be a familiar foe of the Cougars in
the coming years as CSUSM
leaps into the NCAA.
The Cougars wasted no
time setting the tone for the
first game of the scheduled
doubleheader when they
sprinted out to a 3-0 lead in
thefirstinning. With the bases loaded, Kody Sepulveda
came through with a hard
ground ball to the shortstop
to bring around Kyle Secciani for the score. Kyle Kuck
brought around two more
runs with his single which
found its way in between the
first and second basemen to
take the 3-0 lead.
Kuck came through in the
third inning with another 2
RBI single to the right field
to score Bentson and Belzer
to finish 2-3 with a team
high 4 RBIs. Marcus Meraz
and Mike Guadagnini would
both add 2 more RBIs to put
the Cougars up 7-0 at the end
of the third inning.
PLNU scored 2 more runs
in the seventh inning to pull
within one of the Cougars
before Kenny Belzer belted
a solo homerun to left field
to increase the lead 8-5.
The solo homerun by Belzer
would ultimately be the deciding run in the game as
Point Loma scored 2 runs
early in the eighth to come a
run within the Cougars and
finishing the game 8 - 7 .
The second game was more

This baseball season, our
Cougars have been on their
top game with impressive
win-loss ratio of 2f2-2. The
team has started the season
offrightand by the looks of it,
will end the season even better. The Cougar Chronicle sat
down with one of the team's
pitchers, Hunter Brown, a
right-hand pitcher from Encinitas who is in his junior
year as a business major.
Question: How long have
you been playing baseball?
Answer: I've been playing
my.entire life. I started in
tee-ball and played for a couple teams. I stopped playing
in sixth grade but joined my
high school's team when I
was a senior. I was scouted
by Indiana University when
I was at Grossmont Junior
College.
Q: What is the best thing
about playing a t CSUSM?
A: I like that we have
more freedom, the freedom
to what will make the game
better. The coaches are good
at catering to what the player's skills are and what they
need personally.
Q: How do you balance
athletics and academics?
A: I kind of have to find
the time. It's the same for
any college student, except
baseball takes the place of a
job or working, but it helps
at the same time because I
need to be eligible to play so
it motivates me to do well in
school. I 'm a student first.
Q: Who is your inspiration?
A: My father has always
been there. Ever since I was
a little kid, he would come
to the games and support
me. I 've traveled around
the country for baseball on
his dime so he is really supportive and has given me so
many opportunities I never
thought were possible.
Q: Do you have any pregame rituals to get you
Now Hirin
pumped u p?
A: I usually try to stay
calm and relaxed; I don't
want to get stressed about it.
I've learned to balance my
adrenaline and how to turn
it on or off. I just treat game
days like its practice,, any
other day.
Q: What is your practice
schedule like? Do you have
your own personal regimen?
À: We have practice from
noon - 2:30 p.m., four to six
days a week. I need to take
care of my arm and make
sure it stays in shape or else
my body will break down.
For me, it's year round. Last
year I was playing competitive baseball in Maryland.
Since it was pver summer,
it's not as strict but it kept
me in shape.
Q : What is your f uture
plans with the sport?
A: Ideally, I'd like to get
drafted, but in the meantime
I 'm going to school for a degree in business marketing.

Champions in the community: Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, The Catholic Club from
a professor who inspires students and faculty alike a member's perspective
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITER
Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi's
relentless commitment to
helping others, combined
with her selfless demeanor,
is truly changing the lives of
many CSUSM students.
Dr. Laura is very involved
on campus. She is a Civility
Champion and the primary
reason for the wonderful
twice a month food distributions at Summit Church,
which has helped feed so
many in need. In addition,
she also co-teaches the kinesiology internship course.
Dr. Laura is always look-
ing for more opportunities
for her internship students.
There aren't many other programs that offer these kinds
of opportunities, and she
ensures that her students are
taking advantage of it. Dr.
Laura makes it her personal
mission to give every student
the opportunity to succeed.
Dr. Laura is unquestionably popular amongst her
students and colleagues. As
a graduating senior, I have
witnessed first-hand the impact that Dr. Laura has on
her students and the CSUSM
faculty. Having developed a
great relationship with her,
she has become a mother to
me in so many aspects of my
life. I honestly cannot recall
one thing she has done that
wasn't for someone else. It
certainly isn't everyday that
you come across someone so
special.
"What makes Dr. Laura
so special is her selflessness,
her eagerness to help others.
Rather than acknowledging
her own accomplishments,
she acknowledges everyone
else's instead. She cares for
all of her students as if they
were her own, and that's
what I love about her. She's
our teacher, advisor, guru,
mom, friend, support system
and inspiration," kinesiology
major and Kinesiology Club
president Junemy Pantig
said.
Dr. Laura not only inspires
others but also finds joy in
what she does.
"Here is the thing, it is a
selfish thing for me when I
give to others. I think I always receive more than I
give," Dr. Laura said.
Dr. Laura embodies the
spirit of giving in everything
she does. Whatever you
need her to be, she will try
to be that for you. The world
would be a much better place
if Dr. Laura's eagerness to
help others existed in all of
us.

they can physically better
themselves and their environment while celebrating
good health.
In the past, the Clarke has
conducted the fair by working with various local businesses dedicated to health
services in order to reach
students in a unique way.
However, as Melissa
Martinez, coordinator of
the Wellness Fair, pointed
out, there are far more dimensions to "wellness"
than just physical health.
The event is a celebration
of multicultural, occupational, financial and spiritual wellness as well, with
plenty of free food, prizes
and activities for those
who attend.
"This year, the fair is targeted towards Earth Day
and conserving resources
to better our environment,"
Martinez said.
According to Martinez, the
fair is generally successful,
with an average of three hundred students in attendance.
"Specifically, our goal is to
provide information to students as well as a fun, interactive event to get students
together and involved," Martinez said.
The fair is more than just a
fun event for students, however. The fair has historically
been a very successful promoter for local businesses
looking to advertise to students, who can expect a lot
of benefits upon attending .
The Wellness Fair will be
from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
on April 23 at the Clarke and

The CSUSM Catholic Club
allows myself and other students to learn, embrace and
actively participate in the
Catholic faith on campus.
With the club meeting
every Wednesday night, 7
- 9 p.m. in room 110 of the
Clarke, we have a set time
every week to come together
as a group and discuss our
religion.
"I'm proud to say that my
best friends are people that I
met through Catholic Club. I
have enjoyed seeing the club
grow throughout my four
years at Cal State," Catholic Club President, Andrew
Reed said.
We have rotating scheduled activities such as a
speaker night, a social night,
Bible study night with Matthew Rossio and mass with
Father Patrick from the
Miles Christi religious order,
followed by confessions and
questions for a priest. The
club also occasionally takes
our meetings off campus and
into the community.
On March 13, myself,
and nearly 20 members of
CSUSM's Catholic Club,
walked in silence from our
regular Wednesday meeting
to light candles and pray in
front of stairs of the PPH
medical facility in remembrance of aborted fetuses.
Within the PPH facility is
the North County Women's
Medical Clinic that does offer abortion services.
"It was beautiful, a bunch
of college kids taking a good
chunk of time out of their
schedule to walk to the abortion clinic and pray the rosary; asking for the intersection of our Mother Mary to
protect these babies," club
member, Kaylee Toole said.
"It was a beautiful night with
a great and dedicated community."
The club also ventured out
to a Habitat For Humanity
volunteer project down in La
Mesa on March 22, to help
rebuild a house for the homeless. We put paneling on the
side of the house as well as
planted fresh landscaping
around the yard.
The elub is also in the
process of planning a foodpacking event that is to be
determined sometime in
April.
The Catholic Club also
goes out after our meetings
to In-N-Out Burger or other
local fast food restaurants
to hang out and enjoy a late
night snack together as a
group. The Intervarsity Club
has joined us on multiple occasions.

Sprinter being shut down
causes major inconvenience
B Y J ESSIE G AMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
As'many of you may be
aware, on the Sprinter's fifth
anniversary of existence they
shut it down for "two to four
months" to repair the breaks.
Many students take the
Sprinter as a means of transportation to get to and from
the university each day. If
you yourself are not a Sprinter rider, I am sure that you
know many people who do.
Given the fact that about 400
CSUSM students a month
ride the Sprinter every day
to get to school according to
the parking and commuter
services. Now that it has shut
down, CSUSM has had to
provide bus support for those
who would otherwise have
no means of getting to campus.
"Having to take the bus
everyday to and from where
the Sprinter would normally
drop you off takes longer,
since there are no certain
times when it comes and
goes," Sprinter commuter
student, Josefa Gregorio said.

the bus than the Sprinter so
you have to stand up. Since
the buses use the freeways,
there is more traffic and there
is more potential for the bus
to break down more often.
My friend got stuck in that
situation."
Knowing how the state
works, the claimed two to
four months of repair will
probably turn into six to
eight months which would
really be an inconvenience to
the students and the school.
Now that we have seen the
other side of the fence, we
realize just how essential the
Sprinter light rail way is to
us and how desperately we
need it back. Hopefully they
can repair the breaks as soon
as possible so that commuter
transit can go back to normal before people get fed-up
with the Sprinter system.
If you have any opinions
on the Sprinter shutting
down, please send them
into
cougarchron^pinion@gmail.com and we can
put them on our website or
our Facebook.

Editors'Topics: Ceasar Chavez Day vs. Presidents' Day?
As you all may well be aware
of, since many students look
forward to their allotted days
off of school; some students
feel they are being robbed of
a day off for Ceasar Chavez
Day and Presidents' Day. Our
school is the only state school
in California that takes Ceasar
Chavez Day off instead of the
national holiday, Presidents'
Day. Many have mixed feelings about this due to the fact
that it falls during spring break.
See what the editors think:
"I am in favor of having
days off in general. TThat
being said, I see it as just for
the school to honor Ceasar
Chavez, especially considering the history with the
school allowing for him to
be honored with the Chavez
Stairs. I find it so curious that
people are getting worked up
over this, when some of them
aren't exactly well versed in
the why." - Copy Editor Keandre Williams-Chambers
"Caesar Chavez Day and
Presidents' Day should be
days that students do not have
classes. I think that if there are
times when we should not go
to school because of a holiday, it should be days where
we are celebrating people
that have made a significant
difference in our fives. However, Caesar Chavez Day
should be a separate day off
from spring break." - Features Editor Katie Sweeney
"We do get presidents
day off during winter break,
the CSU system just celebrates it earlier than the
K-12 school system, we . do
get it off, it's just celebrated
earlier. It's not really choosing between Cesar Chavez
and Presidents' Day since we
get them both off." - News
Editor Melissa Martinez
"Being that Presidents' Day
is a national holiday and Ceasar
Chavez day is memorial day of
sorts; I feel it is unfair that our
school is the only school in the
state that takes Ceasar Chavez
day off instead of Presidents'
Day. True, Ceasar Chavez
was a great man and should
be honored for it, but it does
not mean replacing it with the
national holiday that honors
our great presidents." - Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell

Friend us on Facebook for the latest CSUSM news
I attended the open forum
for the Student Success Fee
proposal a week or two ago.
After the meeting, I had discussed the option of petitioning to the state as concerned
students, with the director.
She basically informed me
that, "Yes, students have
tried to petition to the state in
the past about funding when
the budget was cut in previous years," and, "No, there
has never been any success."
People are strong in numbers. We're not the only
school that is going through
this, other colleges have already implemented such
fees and students have been
forced to pay. If we were to
petition, we have to make
that petition statewide, or
even national. Going beyond that, we need students
and faculty to join together
from all schools, including
parents and students, even
those that have been denied admission. We should
write detailed letters asking
why the funds need to be
increased, what it is going
towards, and how negatively
we feel that we have to pay
additional fees. Especially
when our tax dollars are supposed to be supporting these
things so that we don't have
to take extra money out of
our pockets to get a decent
education from the State
funded schools.
"Our best investment is
in people and in educating
people. I am very concerned
about the lack of funding at
all levels^ federal, state, and
local. Since taxes pay for
education, the issue is clearly
political. I wouldn't put it
solely on, the government,
though. We all have a stake
in education and we need to
speak up and advocate for
the best possible education
for all of our children. I am
especially concerned about
inequity. Kids in more affluent neighborhoods have
more opportunities than kids
from impoverished neighborhoods. I've never met a
kid who wasn't capable, but
I have met a many kids who
haven't had opportunities
and that really saddens me."
Dr. Merryl Goldberg said.
People are homeschooling
their children more now than
ever because the education
within public school systems
has continued to decline in
quality, as well as continued
to become more and more
unsafe for grades K-12.
Standards in California have
been raised over the years
and no one without a bachelor's degree is going to work
anywhere in this state without starting at or just above
minimum wage for a number
of years without already having work experience and a
degree. Considering we're
one of the most costly states
in the nation, and our state
obligates us to have to commute to do anything within
our cities, the expense of living is already a great burden
on our inhabitants. More and
more youths are being denied the privilege of a higher
education and depleting the
quality of knowledgeable
individuals within our communities.
"Students, young people
are the most basic form of
wealth in our country. They <
are the future and reflect what
will come. People are human
capital that fundamentally
creates wealth. Instead of our
society investing in our own
human capital through education as an investment in
our future and prosperity we
are seeing something downright criminal, with 5 percent
of GDP spent on weapons,
the military and surveillance
of our population as student
debt surpasses credit card
debt. I don't agree that our
government is completely to blame. It's clear the
American population seems
to have limited interest in
changing this situation. With
limited exceptions around
the country, students were silent about the wars, confused
about the economy and seem
to be generally disinterested
in creating change. We have
so many other things to do
with all of our distractions
that we cannot see how the
bigger picture in our lives
has already shifted and don't
realize that intermission is
coming." Professor Marcos
Martinez said.
The government has made
it clear that they are creating this environment on purpose...so as individuals, we
all have to make our positions clear as to how we truly
are being affected. If we are
ignored after showering lobbyists with detailed letters
and statements I 'm afraid to
see what would happen next.

It seems it would have

should give the people on
campus the courtesy of a day

Hot button issue: Campus Ministry USA
Apparently God hates us all
L etter t o t he E ditor
C ampus Ministry U SA has the right t o free speech
To: Editor, Cougar Chronicle and any other interested persons:
With regard to the man (with the atheist sign) and woman (with the bullhorn) on campus
this past Ihesday, March 12,2013:
I respectfully request that they be asked to give up the bullhorn or leave campus when
next they visit. In case no one on staff was aware of their presence, the following is a summary of their actions and the reasons for my request.
The gentleman with the sign was relatively respectful of the CSUSM community. He
simply stood in the common area outside of Starbucks and the Kellogg Library holding a
sign proclaiming, ' It is easy to be an atheist... J can show you proof of God's existence in
the bible." I don't find his actions objectionable and feel if he simply wishes to stand on
campus with a sign; his right to free speech should be acknowledged. An open conversation
regarding opposing views should be encouraged. For example, can he prove God's existence without the Bible? I 'm just asking....
The woman, on the other hand, requires'some education about the CSUSM community
and civility. With bullhorn in hand she stood in the same area outside of Starbucks and
the library yelling about different diseases caused by oral sex, "back door" sex and made
other unsubstantiated claims. I felt that her rhetoric was aimed solely at CSUSM women.
However, she may have been targeting our members of the LGBTQ community as well.
She also spoke of persons who would refute her claims as those who also deny " ...the judgment that is to come."
As for my reasons, they include aspects of civility, mutual respect and freedom of speech
issues. Representatives from different faiths routinely visit our campus and hand out literature. We also have members of the Jewish, Krishna, Christian and Muslim faiths, agnostics and atheists in residence at CSUSM. As students at CSUSM, many of us are just
learning about the critical thinking process and exercising our free will without close parental guidance. Critical thinking and free will are two of the cornerstones of any good
educational process. While many of the visiting and in-house organizations offer information about themselves; they do it in such a way that we exercise our free will in the taking
or leaving of offered literature. We can choose to be part of the conversation.
The woman's bullhorn and the yelling essentially removed us from the conversation and
turned us into a congregation for this woman's opinions. I am unwilling to listen to the
judgments and unsubstantiated medical claims this woman made. I had the option of
walking away. I did. I find it unreasonable and disrespectful of this woman to shut out
involvement of the community using a bullhorn. She has an opinion, I respect that. I don't
respect her way of disseminating it to our community.
We, as students and community members of CSUSM, have the right to embrace or walk
away from groups offering information about themselves. We have the right to offer a reasonable opinion in rebuttal to what we are hearing or reading. I feel that the open exchange
of ideas or opinions is essential for mental growth, civility, understanding and respect.
If CSUSM does not have a policy regarding the actions and behaviors of visiting groups,
perhaps it is time to make one and respectfully escort those visitors who won't comply
with it to the curb. They should be held to the same standards we are when they are in our
community.
Respectfully,
Susanne Montague, student

On the afternoon of March
12, members of Campus
Ministry USA stood around
yelling and preaching about
"man's fallen nature" and our
"inherent sinfulness." Unfortunately, these bitter pilgrims
attracted a large crowd of
students whom they hoped
to convert through their convincing arguments. Among
these brilliant tirades included the insight that all women
are "whores" if they sleep
with a man before marriage.
"She was ridiculous. Calling all males disease infested
individuals," student Christopher Dods said, recounting
listening to one of the female
ministers preach. Apparently, fellow CSUSM students,
we are all going to hell.
While I may not agree
with the members of Campus Ministry USA, I do support their right to... well, you
know. That being said, there
seems to be a need for critical response. While many
of the students who stood
around the ministry decided
to fire back with obscenities
and additional colorful language, I must insist on writing a clean rebuttal. One sign
the ministry brought to campus read "It's easy to be an
atheist when you don't think

Created by animation studio Bones, "Xamd: Lost
Memories" was its first online exclusive project with
Sony's Playstation Network
in 2008.
Two years later, Sentai
Filmworks picked up the
English licensing rights to
the series. The story begins
with the postal ship named
Zanbani and its confrontation with an armada.
Viewers then shift to Akiyuki Takehara, a youtig high
school student who lives in
island similar to the presentday Japanese country side,
excluding the large flying
airships.
The day Akiyuki arrived
on time for the school bus
was fate, for that bus ride
changed his life and him
into an Xamd. For those familiar with Bones' works,
the world of "Xamd" seems
very similar to their previous series "Eureka Seven,"
The team also reunited with
composer Michiru Oshinia
who worked with their first
Fullmetal Alchemist project.
There are many wonderful

Though an animated film,
this cartoon movie deals with
the dark history of Gotham
City's Batman.
Released in 2010 from DC
Comics and Warner Bros,
"Under the Red Hood" starts
out with the end of Batman's
second robin, Jason Todd.
It then skips five years to
the city where crime lords
scramble as a new threat appears under the name "The
Red Hood ."
The film is an adaptation
to Judd Winick's story arc
under the same name. The
voice cast includes Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met
Your Mother," Jensen Ackles from "Supernatural" and
Bruce Greenwood as Batman.
For some, this movie's
version of the Joker may be
an issue for viewers. It is a
unique design and a bit different compared to its other
manifestations such as in
the comics or Dark Knight
Films.
But rest assured, voice actor John DiMaggio brings
the villain back to a level of
familiarity. Even if you have
not read any of the comics,
this film would be able to
bring yon up to speed and
bring you into the mystery
'and action in Gotham City.
As a female college student in her 20s, I must say
that HBO's "Girls" is a perfect coming-of-age series for
those moments in life that
you can't believe actually
happened.
"Girls," which is created,
directed and starring Lena
Dunham, writer of the Netflix-Instant available "Tiny
Furniture," chronicles the
mishaps and adventures of
Hannah Horvath, a previously spoiled 20-somethingyear-old woman who has just
been financially estranged
from her parents.
While Hannah is dealing
with her lack of a job, she
finds herself in a complicatedfriends-with-benefitsrelationship with Adam, played
by Adam Driver, while aiding her uptight roommate
Marnie, played by Allison
Williams, and dealing with
getting over the traumatic
ending of a four-year relationship and finding time to
spend with her carefree and
British-accented
companion Jessa, played by Jemima
Kirke.
The series documents the
hardships in job searching
with a Bachelor's degree
without glamorizing the being of an actual college-graduate in New York.

OPINION EDITOR
This classic novel of a
compelling story placed in
turn-of-the-century China
will plunge you into the very
pages of the book. You will
practically be able to live
the life of the poor Chinese
farmer Wang Lung.
"The Good Earth" was
Pearl S. Buck's second classic novel and it won a Pulitzer Prize in 1932. Having
grown up in China with her
missionary parents, Buck
grew accustom to the culture
and was immersed in the history of ancient China. This
gave her the inspiration to
write one of the most compelling and heart-wrenching
historicalfictionnovels of all
time.
The idea of a poor Chinese farmer during the twentieth century seems simple
enough, but the way Pearl S.
Buck writes makes you feel
as though Wang Lung's story
is the most important story
you will read about China.
In the story, Wang Lung
inherits his father's land and
consequently the charge of

'Saga:' Something strange and wonderful Psycho' spinoff excites and thrills viewers

"Saga" is the newest comic
J* series to get into this spring

with the help of iconic letterer Fonografiks, who is also
known as Steven Finch.
This "Saga" begins with

Alana and Marko, have been
on the run from their planet's

Cesar Chavez Remembered

By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
"The end of education should
surely be service to others,"
said student Natalie Hernandez,
quoting her grandfather Cesar
Chavez. Hernandez was one of
many individuals to speak on
campus for Cal State's first celebration of Cesar CMvez Day,
March 28.
On behalf of her family,
Hernandez accepted a plaque
commemorating the day. Her
speech included messages that
she believed her grandfather
would have wanted to pass along
to other individuals. "No matter
how hard, no matter the struggle,
he always believed, si se puede,"
said Hernandez.
The celebration included
Ballet Folklorico performances
and live mariachi music, but
began with words of reflection
from those who said they felt
inspired by Chavez and his work,
which included improving the
lives of farm workers.
Assistant Dean of Students
Tim Bills first introduced
Fernando Bribiezca, a United
Farm Workers organizer, to the
audience that included students,
faculty, and GEAR-UP participants from San Marcos
Middle School and Grant Middle
School.
Bribiezca, a UFW organizer CMvez Plaza and the Chavez

Pride Staff Writer
"Our incentive is to make
education available to the
community " said Lora Coad,
Director of CSUSM's Southwest
Riverside
County
project
(SWRC). The SWRC project,
currently located in Temecula, is
an alternate campus for students
pursuing their associate's degree,
bachelor's degree, or teaching
credential. Courses are currently
offered at the James Day Middle
School near the Promenade Mall
in Temecula.
Working with Mount San
Jacinto College, CSUSM has
developed an integrated curriculum for the students attending
the SWRC. "We share a unique
partnership with Mt. San Jacinto
College," says Coad. All of the
lower division coursework that
satisfies either AA or GE requirements is taken through MSJC,
while the upper division courses
for those students pursuing their
bachelor's degree in liberal studies or teaching credential are
offered by CSUSM.
"The SWRC needs to always
have a connection to the main
campus," says Coad. "Our students are encouraged to attend
both campuses." Currently the
SWRC only offers evening and
weekend courses; therefore, a
good number of the students, 44
percent according to Coad, also
take classes on the main campus
during the week.
Currently the fee structure
for the SWRC is the same fee
structure for courses offered
through the CSU system. "Two
extension courses are offered this
semester, but the remainder of
those offered by the SWRC are
state funded; therefore, standard
fees are applicable," explains
Coad.
The amount of state funding
available to the SWRC is based
on the enrollment figures for
each semester.
"Enrollment
growth for the last two semesters was higher than projected,"
says Coad. The number of students attending the SWRC continues to grow since the first
courses were offered in the fall
of 1999; therefore, more state
funding has become available.
Future plans for the SWRC
include regular session accelerated courses for the fall 2001
semester. By the end of 2002,
the SWRC also hopes to have
a newer, larger facility and also
plans to offer daytime courses.
Negotiations are currently taking
place for a new 35,000 squarefoot facility for classrooms and
offices located in Murrietta,
approximately 10 miles north of
the current Temecula location.
Coad added, "The public
education program is quite limited in the Temecula area; therefore, the SWRC attracts many
students who would not normally come to the main csmipus."
Student
dance troupe, Patricia Navarro
explained that their particular
dancing was not Jalisco style,
but more from Sinaloa, a state
in Mexico.
Additional afternoon performances included mariachi music
played by Mariachi del Sol,
which included students such as
Ramon Nava on the violin. The
evening ended with a candlelight
vigil at CMvez Plaza.
The Cesar CMvez celebration will continue on April 18 in
the Dome Plaza, when M.E.Ch.A.
hosts a Day of Learning with
poetry, music and dance.
Attempts Suicide On CampUS
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
A student was prevented
from committing suicide on
campus Friday around 2:30 p.m.
by Professor Anibal YanezChavez. A Liberal Studies professor at Cal State San Marcos,
Yanez found the student, a young
woman, cutting herself with a
sharp object on the spiral staircase midway between the fifth
and sixth floors of Craven Hall.
A custodian working on the
fifth floor assisted Professor
Yanez after hearing screams and
alerted the campus police. The
woman was reportedly taken
in an ambulance to Scripps
Hospital in La Jolla.
Rick Moore, Director of
Communications at. CSUSM,
confirmed Friday that "there
was a young woman, she was
not a student here, with a sharp
object who was trying to commit
suicide. I don't know why she would
come here to do it." The girl is a
student at Palomar College.
Claudia Ignacio, a student
working in the advising office
on the fifth floor during the
time of the attempt, arrived on
the scene too late to help, but
before custodians Md cleaned
up the small amount of blood
that had been spilled. "Nobody
knows why she came here to kill
herself, but I have heard administrators say that it doesn't look
good for our school."
Ignacio later spoke to
Professor Yanez. "I could tell
he (Yanez) was really overwhelmed. All he said was I 'm
shocked.'"
Although Lieutenant Bill
McCullough confirmed the
occurence, CSUSM Police were
unable to give an official statement regarding the incident.

Tax Day on April 16:
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
With taxes due on April 16,
now is the time for all of us
procrastinators to get our acts
together and figure out what
forms we need to prepare for the
deadline and the changes in tax
laws. Free help is available for
taxpayers. But if you choose to
prepare yours on your own, be
aware of the few minor changes
with tax credits and exclusions.
New California tax credits
are: Child and Dependent Care
Expenses Credit, Long-Term
Care Credit, Natural Heritage
Preservation Credit and a Teacher
Retention Credit,
q The new Child and
Dependent Care Expense
Credit is a percentage of the
nonrefundable federal credit
that the IRS allows you for
the cost of your employmentrelated child and dependent
care expenses. If your
income is not over $100,000,
you can claim the credit
using California Forms 540,
540A and 540NR. You cannot claim it by using the
form 5402EZ. Even if you do
not claim the credit through
your federal return, you can
still claim it on your state
return. Depending on how
much you make, you can
receive up to 63 percent of
the federal credit. The maximum California credit is
$907.
q Long-Term Care Credit
allows up to $500 for each
qualifying individual in need
of long-term health care and
for the eligible caregiver
that is the taxpayer. Using
California Form 3504, you
can attach it to your tax
. return.
q Natural
Heritage
Preservation Credit is for
those who donated land to
the Wildlife Conservation
Board in order to preserve
the heritage of the land. To
learn if you qualify for this
credit, contact the Wildlife
Conservation Board at (916)
445-8448.
q The Teacher Retention
Credit is on California Form
3505. If you are a credentialed teacher and teach any
grade from K-12 in a qualified educational institution,
you are eligible for credit.
Any teacher that has been
in service f rpm four to six
years can receive up to $250;
six to 11 years up to $500;
11-20 years up to $1,000; 20
or more the credit can go up
to $1,500.

We, the Faculty at San Marcos State University, are commited to provide the highest
quality education to our students. This has become increasingly difficult due to alarming
trends in the California State University system.
Over the last 7 years at San Marcos:
*The student enrollment has increased 110%, from 2736 to 5739
*The tenure track faculty increased by only 51%, from 97 to 147
*But, the administration, on the other hand, increased by 55%, from 36 to 56
postions
The state allocated millions to the CSU system for faculty, yet these resources were used
for non-instructional administrative costs. Furthermore, the hiring of lecturers, which
now make up a majority of your teachters at San Marcos, are now without job security, often
without health benefits, often sharing offices, computers, & telephone lines with all the other
lecturers in thier department, and often teaching at multiple universities around the
community.
We understand from talking to students that it is often the individual time that a faculty
member can spend with students that makes the difference in grades, job opportunities,
and recommendations.
Despite these trends, faculty at all levels and in all disciplines continue to work diligently
to provide students with the education, skills, and support necessary to succeed in today's
world.
In April, the California Faculty Association, which is the union that represents and
negotiates on behalf of all faculty will enter into contract negotiations with Chancellor
Reed. Our goal in these negotiations is to make improvements in areas that directly
impact our ability to provide the highest level of academic and scholarly support to the
students of San Marcos State.
We expect that these will be tough negotiations. We intend to keep students informed of
the progress. We very much look forward to working together with student leadership on
how we can continue to ensure that providing a quality education remains CSU's number
one priority.

�Wandering Along the Central Coast: An Alternate Spring Break
By JAMES NEWJELL
Pride Staff Writer
The mid-term rush is over,
projects are finished, portfolios
are in the professors' hands, and
tests are a faded memory. It
seems the quickest rcnjte to a
party-filled Spring Break is the
norm for most college students.
For young S&ji Riegans* Mexico
is thelVenue? often spotlighted
as the place to travel for cheap
drinks and cheap accommodations.
However, a completely opposite trip, in both direction and
mentality, is a journey north
towards Monterey Bay. Far from
the seedy Tijuana nightclubs, one
can step aside, relax and enjoy
this tranquil sojourn and break
away to enjoy the serene and
beautiful countryside that is often
forgotten, yet exists right here in
California.
The yfear's winter rainfall
is now diminishing, and as the
summer sun begins to shine, it
creates a lush green landscape
obscured only by misty clouds
set atop the larger hillsides rising
eastward into the ihountains. The
rolling green pastures leading
from San Luis Obispo into Big

Without even considering the
winding road, it is hard for most
drivers to keep from veering off

keep the sound of the lane markers bouncing as they pass under
the wheels, the distracted driver
attempting to concentrate on the
task at hand.
The coast eventually winds
its way into Big Sur, where the
Redwoods have a home at Pfeiffer State Park. Full of hiking
trails, picnic areas, waterfalls and
mountain lions, the park enables
visitor's to access the forest and
parkland that could literally take
years to explore. There are paths
that go up, around and switch
back all through the forest, aiding
people in enjoying a unique part
of the California coastline.
It is amazing to pass through
such diversity in such a short
period of time. California has
more to offer than most people
would believe. It is inspiring to
step outside to a place many have
forgotten even exists: a place of
serenity, a place where the everyday drifts into the past. What
unfolds at that moment is everything. Nothing can touch the feelings that come, unhindered into

To Whom It May Concern:
First, my name is Philip Rush and I am an experienced
individual in the affairs of the California State government. I have
been employed by both the state and federal government working
for a congressman and a state assembly member. But more than
the above, I am also a senior here at CSUSM and understand what
one must go through to deal with the bureaucracy that is CSUSM.
After viewing the article concerning Warren, I have wondered if
he has contacted his state assembly member or state senator. Given that
this institution is largely funded by the state and a portion by the federal
government, the student should consider that the state assembly funds
and oversees (thru the State Board of Education) the very existence of
this institution and therefore has the power of administrative inquiry on
the behalf of the constituent, namely Warren.
Understanding that the issue falls under the administrative realm
and is NOT a legal issue, the state assembly member or senator may
provide a crucial part in establishing mediation between the state, the
institution, and the student. If there are any questions regarding the
above, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope this can shed some
light for Warren.
Sincerely,
Philip Rush

Finding Sources in the Library:
Is It Really Hard?
By ROLAND ARIAS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Given the anticipation of the
new library, there is a lot of criticism on the lack of resources in
the current library. While I have
heard many students and even
some faculty tell me that the
Cal State San Marcos Library
does not adequately serve the
needs of students because of its
small space, the library provides
sources to students in a variety
of ways. Students just have to be
willing dig a little to use them.
Since I do not have time to
go to other libraries in San Diego
County, the library on campus is
my only choice for sources. At
first when I found out that the
book I was looking for was in the
annex, I would try to find different sources that were already on
the book stacks. Eventually however, I found that getting books
and other sources in the annex
are not hard to get at all and
they usually come in the day after
they are requested. Just recently,
I had to go to the library to get a
book from an obscure author. Not
thinking that our small library
would have the book I needed,
I was astonished to find that it
was in the library's annex. While
it would have been nice to flip
through the pages of the book
before I checked it out, its reassuring to know that there are
a wide variety of books readily
assessable in our "small" library.
. Most students are unaware
of the abundant online sources
to which they have access. The
online journals available to
CSUSM students are some of the
most useful academic tools that
I have utilized in my four years
at the university. One online service I found particularly helpful
is EBSCOhost. Since the database gives access to full text
journals and scholarly sources,
I frequently use EBSCOhost for
finding sources for my papers.
While there are other online services available to students though
the library, EBSCOhost is one of
the most useful.
The San Diego Circuit is
another vital aspect of the library.
The resources available on the
circuit give students can access
numerous sources in other libraries including SDSU, UCSD, and
USD. The materials can be picked
up the next day if ordered early
enough. Since orders placed on
the circuit before 10 am can
be picked up after 3pm, getting
books from other universities is
very convenient.
Granted, the San Diego State
Library and the UCSD library
will have readily accessible materials that the Cal State San Marcos
library will not, but as the university grows, so to will the university's educational resources. For
those of you who have a hard time
finding sources in the library, the
sources are there, you just need
to know where to find them.

Outraged with your Administration!
Dear Editors,
I have just read an article in your paper titled, "One Student's Journey through the Paper
Trail," and I must tell you how truly outraged I am. What kind of school are you running? How
dare you take away 3 years of this young man's life that he worked so hard for just because he
put his education on hold to be by the side of his girlfriend, who had just been brutally raped and
tried to commit suicide? You should be commending him for what he has done.
President Gonzalez, you are a poor excuse for a human being. How can you live with
yourself? How can any of the administrators live with themselves for the trauma they have
inflicted on this young man? You have shown all of us that, when it comes to choosing
a university for our children, yours is truly not the right one, especially if we want our
children to succeed.
I will do everything in my power to spread the word to as many high schools as possible,
as I work for the school system. I feel that they need to know what CSUSM has, or should I say
doesn't have, to offer them. Think about it!

School Vouchers the Only Option
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Copy Editor
"Why should poor children
be consigned to chronically poor
schools that consistently fail to
prepare them to attend college,
much less get a good-paying
job? ... Millions are casualties of
dysfunctional schools."
Why indeed? The San Diego
Union Tribune addressed the
issue in a recent editorial (which
I've taken the liberty of quoting) encouraging readers to
examine the "eminently defensible" school voucher proposal
with open eyes. We need to recognize that parents deserve a
voice, and an actual choice, when
it comes to their children's education.
President Bush's plan would
grant parents of children who
attend "sub-par" schools for
three consecutive years a $1,500
federal voucher to help subsidize
the cost of private education.
The Bush plan is a moderate,
flexible one, and while Bush
says he's "willing to listen" to
other approaches, he maintains
that "Children and parents who
have had only bad choices need
better choices."
Our youth are worthy of the
best shot we can give them and the public school system
too often fails in this endeavor.
Legislators have long promised
to implement various programs
and have concocted various solutions to fix our schools, and we're
still waiting. Our test scores are
still low, children aren't learning
fundamental skills they need to
succeed in college-level coursework and many of them are simply falling through the cracks.
While the voucher system isn't
going to revolutionize or " fix"
our schools, it's a step in the
right direction.
Democratic lawmakers and the
California Teacher's Association,
as well as other unions are vehemently opposing vouchers the
plan calls for accountability. And
since the public system can't
step up to the plate, the state and
the teachers' unions will lose
money if the legislation passes.
U.S. Education Secretary Rob
Paige called opposition to the
voucher system an "attempt to
protect an already dead monopoly." And it is.
We voted against Proposition
38 in November, which would
have given parents a $4,000
annual voucher. The California
Teacher's Association raised
more than $26 million in an
effort to keep the proposition
from passing, and they were successful - depending on how success is measured. If continuing
to dump taxpayer's money into
a system that repeatedly fails its
students, and then making halfhearted and vague promises to
use that money to benefit our
schools is success, then so be
it. Where are the results? We
could have used that $26 million
for vouchers rather than wasting
it on advertisements urging the
public to pretend away the problem.
Yes, the public school sys-
tem and the teachers' unions will
lose money. There are decent
school districts, some fine public schools, and wonderful teachers out there. But the sytem as
a whole reeks of bureaucratic
incompetence, and we need to
roll the dice on this. The voucher
system may have flaws; it may
fail. But if you don't gamble, you
won't ever win. Our children's
education is too big a gamble to
keep playing it safe.
If you find yourself diametrically opposed to the idea
of vouchers,, keep in mind that
money comes out of your pockets. How deep are they? Parents
of those children who are already
enrolled in private institutions
still have to pay taxes on federally funded education. You
won't see the teachers' unions or
the legislators mentioning this,
because it then becomes apparent that those parents are being
hit with a doublQ-whkpimjrjwhile
everyone elsfe
bacjqi their
pockets full, while we contihud to
grant diplomas to students with
fourtfcgrade reading skills.
Let's support a system that
will force our public schools to
shape up or ship out - on Bush's
plan they have three years to
take what's wrong and make
it better before losing money
on each student that makes
the switch to a private school.
Until we have the option of sending kids to public institutions
that aren't decaying, decentered
and demoralized, it's the only
option.

G etting t he Facts Straight
ISABEL R. SOLIZ
CSUSM Graduate Student
At a university whose mission statement includes statements such as, "The University
offers cultural enrichment in an
intellectually stimulating environment and acts as a focus
for community social activities," I am appalled that Mr.
Tom Chambers can make such
ignorant statements about Cesar
Chavez' worthiness of CSUSM
scheduling activities and a day
to honor him. Recognizing Mr.
Chamber's ignorance, I'd like
to set some facts straight, as
recorded in history.
First, Cesar Chavez, though
not educated or having a doctorate degree, upheld the ideals set
forth by George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln, even though
they did not practice what they
preached. In fact, they lived
in contradiction to their ideals.
For example,^ - yoitr claim that
Washington gave "us" freedom,
yet he owned slaves. And
Lincoln, though regarded; as the
great emancipator, who gave the
slaves their freedom, is also
known among historians as having taken the issue against slavery for political reasons. When
questioned about the Civil War
by Horace Greeley, editor of the
New York Tribune, Lincoln is
quoted saying, "My paramount
object in this struggle is to save
the union, and not either to save
or destroy slavery. If I could save
the Union without freeing any
slaves, I would do it; if I could
save it by freeing all the slaves,
I would do it, and if I could do
it by freeing some and leaving
others alone, I would do that."
(Chronicle of America). My point
is this: Cesar Chavez upheld
the very ideals Washington and
Lincoln are known for, without
any political aspirations.
You state that Chavez'
efforts "shrink in the shadows of
King." Actually, it is the other
way around. Chavez' efforts to
bring attention to the injustices
being made against Americans
began before Dr. King's, but
the crusaders just happened to
be farm workers. Chavez efforts
began before Rosa Parks' bus
incident. Chavez began in 1944
(as compared to King's efforts
in 1955) when he challenged
the segregated theater system by
refusing to sit in the section
for Mexicans and sitting in the
"whites only" section. For this
he was arrested.
His cause sharpened while

and Mexican-Americans earned
$1.10. In that year, Chavez and
the farm workers became part
of the "The Movement", a catchall phrase describing those sharing a commitment to end the
injustices of racism, the war in
Vietnam, the sufferings of the
poor, and the degradation of farm
workers.
So you see, it was not just
about starting a union. In 1968,

If you want to compare
Chavez to Dr. King, Chavez
began his efforts to uphold freedom and equality nine years
before Dr. King. Furthermore,
Chavez' approach was all "hands
on" while King became involved
after Rosa Parks took a stand
and the sit-ins in Birmingham,
Alabama took place. Though Dr.
King's honorable efforts are not
to be minimized, as he did hold
a doctorate, and won recognition with the Nobel Peace Prize
and Time Magazine's Man of
the Year awards, both in 1964.
Cesar Chavez was recognized by
Robert F. Kennedy as "one of
the heroic figures of our time."
In 1994 he was posthumously
awarded the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the United States'
highest civilian honor, by
President
Clinton.
Mr. Chambers, if we are to
use a bar to measure greatness,
Chavez' efforts for human and
civil rights began long before
King's, yet he did not win any
recognition. Was it because of
his ethnicity? He certainly didn't
work for political reasons. The
difference is that one had a doctorate and one was a poor farm
worker, a humble U.S. citizen
of Mexican decent, a WWII veteran and a patriot who upheld the
ideals set forth by Washington
and Lincoln. If that "cheapens"
the greatness of past leaders, I

Civil rights activist remembered at candlelight vigil
CSUSM artists reflect on statue's significance
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA

Last Tuesday, CSUSM invited
artists T. J. Dixon and James Nelson
to speak to the university community about the historical perspectives about the campus statue
honoring civil rights activist César

in San

Chavez. Dixon and Nelson were
the two artists responsible for creating the statue and spoke about the
importance and legacy to which the
school connects itself.
"My mother was a farm worker
in Texas during the 60s, and [the
United Farm Workers] was all that
she would talk about," shared Dixon
as she spoke about personal meaning of the work. "It was really the
most tragic existence for farm workers who didn't have a voice and was
never in one. place long enough to
ask for change and equality."
The week ended by honoring the
leader with a candlelight vigil at the

community unites
to raise awareness
On Tues. April 8, men and women gathered in Forum Plaza to participate in a night
of empowerment and education against the
sexual violence of women. Take Back t he
Night is an observed protest around the nation
that involves walking in the dark to display
that women should and have t he right to feel
safe while walking in the dark.
Every two minutes, somewhere in A merica, someone i s sexually assaulted.
This is the second year the Women's
Center has held a Take Back the Night event
on campus. On display was the 'Walk In Her
Shoes' exhibit, f eaturing a variety of women's
shoes with f acts and personal stories about
sexual violence u nderneath them.
The National College Women Sexual Victimization Study estimated between 1 in 4
and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years.
B efore the event began, many students
walked through the exhibit and scaled t he
booths in attendance. Students and s taff candidly shared their experiences and observations regarding sexual violence.
Morgan Hoodenpyle, Women's Center Operations Coordinator, opened the event, welcoming students and s taff in attended and served as

The unfair stigma of "Brokeback Mountain"
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
At the 2006
O scars, t he movie
" Crash" walked
away w ith the t op
p rize. T hough it
was a decent f ilm
about racism in
A merican,
the
other n ominated f ilms dealt
w ith r iveting topics in a more
i ntense and potent way. "Good
Night and Good L uck" was the
t rue story about government
c ensorship and " Munich" was
a f ilm about the r epercussions
of the a ssassination of Israeli
a thletes at the 1972 Olympic
Game by P alestinian t errorists, and both have implications that are still are relevant. In a ddition, " Capote"
is the story about f amous
writer, Truman Capote, and
the s truggles he f aced as an
author and a homosexual.
However, the most dramatically moving f ilm of that year
was "Brokeback M ountain."
Not only did the Academy
rob it of Best P icture, today it
still f aces the stigma as " that
gay cowboy movie."
In my experience, I have
found that most fcf t hese comments come f rom people who
have not even seen the f ilm. It
is u nfair to c riticize such an
important f ilm without personal experience. U nfortunately,
people are unable
to look beyond the
element of homosexuality and miss
the art and inspiring moments of t his
f ilm.
Director Ang Lee
made "Brokeback Mountain" about more than l eftwing p ropaganda. It has the
elements that put it in the
r unning for being one of
the best f ilms of the current decade. The late Heath
Ledger gave the best performance of his career and
deserved the nomination for
Best Actor. His tragic death
makes t his p erformance
that much more important. In all other areas, t his
movie excelled, such as
the cinematography, other
a ctors, and the breathtaking score.
It is a monumental f ilm
meant to dispel ignorance,
and yet still i ncreases it
in some people. However,
t here have been previous
f ilms about homosexuality, t his one is i mportant
because not only is it done
well — it boldly challenges
the image of the A merican
cowboy.

C SU A lliance: B udget c ut i mpacts
For up-to-date information, visit
CSUSM's Budget Central online
IMPACT T O CSUSM
•
A 10 percent budget reduction would be a $2.5 million cut to CSUSM's current budget, with an additional $3.1 million cut
based on no growth, creating a total reduction of $5.6 million.
•
The cuts would mean larger class sizes, reduced student support, and fewer course sections resulting in students taking
longer t o graduate. It would mean greater workload for CSU faculty and staff and no funding for compensation agreements
resulting in a decline in employee morale and performance.
•
CSUSM grew over 25 percent in the last three years. Based on 0 percent growth, approximately 750 qualified students would
not be able t o enroll if CSUSM is not able to accommodate additional new student enrollment in 2008-09. First-time
freshmen and transfer students who apply late to fall 2008 will not be considered unless enrollment space becomes available.
•
These cuts will erase significant gains the university has made t o increase access for minority and underserved communities.
CSUSM's student population now reflects 22.4 percent Hispanic and 27.6 percent other minorities.
IMPACT T O CSU
•
This budget cut is in addition to $522 million in funding cuts to the CSU between 2002 and 2005.
•
The CSU will be unable to provide access to 10,000 qualified students, mostly California residents, which will have a direct
impact on the state's economy and on the key industries that our graduates enter, such as nursing, teaching, agriculture,
business, public administration and technology. Future demand for college graduates outweighs the supply by 6 percent representing a million graduates
•
The CSU graduates 90,000 students each year, including 87 percent of education graduates, 64 percent o f nurses, 65 percent
of business professionals, 82 percent of those involved in public administration, and more than half of the state's graduates in
agriculture-related fields.
•
The proposed budget cuts to CSU would remove more than $1 billion from the state's economy.
•
The negative impact o n student access would fall disproportionately on students from underrepresented communities. For
2008, freshman applications t o CSU for Latinos are up by 21 percent and African Americans by 11 percent over previous years.
IMPACT T O THE REGION
•
Cuts to the CSU will be felt by the regional economy as CSUSM generates a total impact of $307 million, sustains
5000 jobs, and generates more than $16 million per year in tax revenue.

According to the November 2000 National Violence

of women in the United States
have survived a completed

21.6% were younger than age

among several guests, watching
while activists and community
members spoke about the lives of
farm workers during the 1960s and
1970s.
Later in the evening, students and
other community members laid carnations and litpandles. They shared
some experiences as immigrant
workers while they sat at the steps
of Chávez Plaza.
"With César Chávez, a man like
that truly deserves this honor," said
,Nelson. "When we received this
commission, we were very fortunate to have done this."
Before his death in 1993, Chávez
spent more than two decades fighting on the behalf of immigrant
farm workers across California and
Texas: He was responsible for the
creation of the United Farm Workers Union which organized strikes
and boycotts to create higher wages
for farm workers and immigrant
rights.

of the event. Team members take
turns in a sponsored walk-a-thon,
in addition to other activities, which
include entertainment, booths, and

cancer and the ACS.
Last year, Relay for Life raised
$33.3 million in California alone,
with over 12,388 participating

Participants are expected
to arrive between 5 p.m. and
8 p.m. at Liberty Station in
Point Loma with their own

rescue mission has indicated
on their website that the
event will not be cancelled on
account of inclement weather,
saying, " the homeless sleep

"This year, it is the goal
of Alpha Kappa Psi to shed
light on these issues to students who do not typically
see these problems in North
County," CSUSM sophomore
and member of Alpha Kappa
Psi, Melissa Mattingly said.
"Our goal is to raise $2500
to donate to the San Diego
Rescue Mission."
Mattingly, who "was recently
crowned Miss Escondido,
said, "I found out about the
San Diego Rescue Mission
through the Miss Escondido
pageant, and I have been
working with them ever since
I won."
Like a walkathon, participants will conduct fundraising for "Sleepless in San
Diego" through the acquisition of sponsors, usually
friends, family, co-workers
and neighbors.
According to Alpha Kappa
Psi, ^'Donations to the San
Diego Rescue Mission go
to support two core recovery programs encompassing
in-depth services for lasting change, as well as an
emergency shelter, providing men, women and families the opportunity for both
immediate relief and longterm transformation."
As of April 10, Alpha
Kappa Psi has raised $3200,
far exceeding its initial f undraising goal. While there
is a minimum donation of
$50 required to get into the
event for most participants,
students participating with

the LGBTQ Pride Center as a
place that "creates, sustains, and
strengthens an open, inclusive,

"The Pride center is a great
addition to ASI's programs
and services sponsored by
education, advocacy, support,
resource information, and a
safe place for all students," said
ASI CEO and President Caitlin Gelrud. "It was through the
voice and advocacy of CSUSM
students that this center was
established. In the spring of
2007, the ASI Board of Directors approved the strategic

spoke about his several books
addressing LGBT students and
involvement in sororities and

"One of the things I think the
LGBTQ Center is really about
is the community," said Windmeyer, "and I'm not telling you
anything new when it comes
to how important community
is on a college campus...This
shouldn't just be about LGBTQ

the entire campus community.
And the LGBTQ Pride Center

Can't find affordable
health insurance?
There are options available for
students on and off of campus
BY A RIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
A notable concern among college students
is quality health care insurance. While it can
be difficult to find a policy that adequately
covers student needs, if one "browses
around" there are many private insurance
policy options available to suit an individual's particular requirements. In addition,
many insurance packages that are available
are specifically designed for student situations.
As a short brief: CSUSM's requires all
students to have health insurance (including international students). Consequently,
the university does have a health insurance
policy available.
The health insurance policy offered by
CSUSM is advocated for those who do not
have private medical or liability insurance.
The policy also o ffers hospitalization benefits and other specific medical services.
Students also have the option of purchasing the insurance policy on a semester or
yearly basis. To enroll in the student health
insurance plan, visit the Associated Students
Office in Commons 205 and/or Student
Health Services.
There is also extended student health
insurance offered by CSU Health Link
that covers medical needs that exceed the
resources of Student Health and Counseling
Services such as specialist and emergency
rooms referrals.
Students can run into some tricky problems when their parents' insurance policy
no longer covers them or when students have
jobs that do not offer insurance benefits, so
it is best to research and find a specific or
comprehensive policy that can serve particular concerns.
To find the best policy, just research and
find a plan that works—some plans have
year-round coverage, some are based on
full-time/part-time student status, and some
are more flexible with doctor and hospital
choices.
To get a general idea about college health
insurance plans and some get common
questions answered, visit insurance carrier's websites, or check the following:

The opening of the new University Store
on April 7 not only marks an exciting day
for the University's Foundation, but it also
begins a new chapter for all CSUSM members to revive their school spirit and nurture the growing campus community. In
addition to the now textbook-only store
located downstairs from the new
store on the f ifth floor of Craven
hall, the University Store is open
and eager to serve students in
many new ways.
"As a non-profit corporation

University Store is open, there will be a to make it more of a destination where stuclerk service available, so all a student has dents that do live at UVA would want to
to do is go to the University Store, request come here to the store," said Brown. "This
is such a perfect location. We're really
looking forward to getting more involved
on the campus."
No matter what time of year, students
will always be able to find the classic gray,
white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo
wear, but students can also expect to see
seasonal fashion-forward merchandise
that reflects current fashion trends and
allows students to show off their CSUSM
pride in the store. "We carry what we call
'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is
our thing with the new cougar logo, but we
mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said
Brown.
The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and
planned with college students in mind. Complete
with an Apple computer
and product section, soon
students will be able to
test the Apple products for
themselves before purchasing
them, and all students are
eligible for the college
student
discount
available through
Apple on products
like iPods, Mac
laptops, and other
Apple
program
software that the
University
Store
carries.
With the end of the
semester approaching, Brown emphasized the big push
the
University
Store
is
doing for
textbook
buybacks.
" That's all based on teachers'
requisitions," said Brown, "so if the
teachers get their orders in, that's
how we gage our buyback. We
know that textbooks are expensive,
and there is a textbook affordability
issue on all campuses."
Whether the University Store is
a destination for textbooks or an
embroidered CSUSM sweatshirt—
there is still a big issue the Univer-
Student employee Jenny Quijada models
sweatshirts and other merchandise.
sity Store is working on to help students
on campus: the cost of textbooks. That is
why the University Store is o ffering a new
scholarship program in coordination with
ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's
something we started this past spring,"
said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI."
Each semester 10 students can receive
the scholarship, which covers the cost of
textbooks up t o $450 per student. "It w asn't
marketed for Spring ' 08—we ended u p
giving out 6 for Spring, but it's going to
be a big push for Fall," said Brown. " There
are requirements and they can pick u p all

One week from today, the United States
will celebrate its 38th annual Earth Day.
As the result of nearly four decades of
environmental awareness, the surface of
April 22nd is synonymous with tree-hugging, hemp clothes, and liberal protests.
A far cry from p o l i t y in the 60s and 70s,
the modern Earth Day presents revolutionary thinking and opportunities for every
American to change the world for the
better.
April 22,1970 was the first official Earth
Day in America. Following his election
into the U.S. Senate in 1962, former Wisconsin State Senator and Governor Gaylord
Nelson took up environmental preservation
activism under the presidency of John. F.
Kennedy. "For several years," Nelson said,
"it had been troubling me that the state of
our environment was simply a non-issue in
the politics of the country." Thus, Nelson
and Kennedy set out on an environmental conservation tour through the states in
the fall of 1963 to raise awareness on the
issues. Unfortunately, the tour was largely
a failure. Nelson felt that even though the
tour barely received any political attention,
"it was the germ of the idea that ultimately
flowered into Earth Day." As Nelson continued his presence in the U.S. legislature,
he traveled to as many states as he could.
Troubling evidence of environmental degradation was apparent all over the country, yet concern over the facts was wholly
absent from the political agenda. Through
Nelson's talks and activism, he created a
somewhat backwards course of action: he

Forgetting an mp3 player or iPod at
home should no longer be a burden. There
is an easy to use website which allows the
user to upload a playlist of 12 songs (each
song not being larger than lOmb) and keeps
everyone's favorite playlist a click away.
On muxtape.com it takes no
more than 15 seconds to create
a free account. This website not
only allows the user to listen to
music from any computer with
internet access, it also creates a
community of playlists which
allow all its members to listen to
each o tters top songs.
Muxtape works by browsing
the user's saved media files and
uploading it to the site in which the
person agrees to share their playlist
with everyone. Listening to music
is simple as well, after creating a
playlist or browsing through other
members' playlist the user clicks
on the title of the song and the song
begins to stream, want to pause the
song just click on the title again and
it pauses.
Another great feature which
Muxtape provides is allowing
the user to add its favorite playlist from other members by pressing add playlist or remove playlist
:
if the user decides it no longer
pleases them.
As an avid music listener Muxtape allows me to take my favorite
songs with me to wherever I go,
took the issues to the people before
appealing to the government.
Finally, in 1970, Nelson took part
in an environmental "teach-in", which
acted as a response to the rising perception
of ecological conditions across the nation.
Earth Day itself was a spontaneous reaction to the millions of Americans Nelson
reached out to looking to raise environmental interests to the forefront of politics. "That was the remarkable thing about
Earth Day," Nelson remembers, "it organized itself."
With "going green" as the newest trend,
there are certainly plenty of opportunities to get involved this Earth Day. The
government has stepped up environmental awareness, presenting a whole host of
ways to promote cleaner air with a public
education group called "It All Adds Up."
The group's focus is on ways that communities can reduce air pollutants through
more conscientious commuting. "It All
Adds Up" offers tips for dropping individual pollutant production from autos.
By simply keeping a car's tires properly
inflated, fuel use can decrease by up to 18
gallons a year. Getting regular tune-ups is
also essential; a well-maintained car will
produce 20% less ozone emissions than
one that is not.
Moreover, "reduce, reuse, recycle" may
as well be Earth Day's slogan. Reduce use
of disposable products by buying permanent items, and refrain from buying products that have large amounts of packaging.
Reuse plastic grocery bags as trash bags, use
hand towels in the kitchen rather than rolls
ofpaper towels, and donate unwanted items
to charities rather than throwing them out.

Earth Day has fundamentally become more of a state

event. With technological strides promoting the
use of compact fluorescent light bulbs, hybrid
cars, and energy-efficient
appliances, there are virtually no products that encourage harm to the environment.

music blogs come together in a convenient
way for Internet users. The site tracks the
activity on a wide variety of blogs and
relays the posts onto it for easier browsing
of music opinions,
The mission, according to the site, is to
inform people of music they are unaware
of and expose them to new possibilities.
Internet users can browse music
according to the reviews of others
that have similar taste. Previews
of songs are available, as well as
a link to the Amazon and iTunes
music stores. The founders of the
site intended this to steer people
to new artists and help them make
money through sales.
The Hype Machine is userfriendly for all users, but according to the site, the most popular
demographic is "a more male,
fairly wealthy, youthful, more educated crowd." Another bonus is the
amount of reviews made possible
by the live indexing of songs and
artists. The Hype Machine makes
searching for and discovering new
tunes much easier, as compared
with searching on individual blogs.
In addition, unlike published music
reviews, these are the honest and
raw opinions of "musicphiles."
Though the site favors the alternative and indie types of music, it
contains information to interest
fans of ai types of music. People
who are open to new music should
try The Hype Machine because it
is a resource of music blogs unlike
any other site.

Summer school is a great option for
students whether their need is acceleration or remediation. While summer
school is a good opportunity to catch
up on college credits there are various
concerns to be aware of in choosing to
enroll in summer courses. It is important to remember that summer programs are shorter and more condense
in time than regular semester classes.
Summer programs include a whole
semester's worth of work, so be aware
to not take too many classes and do
not expect it to be easier than regular
semester classes.
At CSUSM there are several deadlines, so be sure to keep track of them
to successfully register and begin
classes. To find out what tuition and
fees may be (depending on how many
credits are taken) check the summer
school information webpage on
M yCSUSM:http://sweb.csusm.edu/
Schedule/200830/fees.asp.
The priority enrollment period is
from April 7 to April 21, 2008. Any
holds on record need to be cleared
before proceeding. From April 22
to June 1 (Summer 2008 schedule
adjustment period), a student may add
or drop classes in the newly instated
My CSUSM system. The payment
deadline for classes registered up to
May 14 is May 15, 2008. For classes
that are registered on or a fter May 15,
fees are due by the next business day
at noon.
The first day of classes starts June 2
and the add/drop period is from June
2 to June 9, 2008. June 9 is the last
day to drop a class (that meets for the
summer first session) with no aca-
demic record. June 9 is also the last
day to add a summer 2008 class that
meets for the first part of the term
including f ull session, first session
and second session. On June 10 for
late registration be prepared to pay
late registration and adding fees. July
6 is the last day of classes for those
that meet for the first term.
The second session of summer starts
beginning on July 7. July 10 is the last
day to drop classes without academic
record. August 9 is the last day of
classes for the second term.
For more details and to register
for summer school, check CSUSM's
summer school class offerings through
MyCSUSM. In addition, CSUSM
Extended Studies also provides many
summer programs so check their class
offerings.
If CSUSM does not offer a particular class for a student, a good alternative choice is to check out local
community colleges such as Palomar
or Mira Costa, which o ffer plenty of
classes to suit one's academic needs.
Apply for admission (if one is a new
student) as soon as possible in order to
register for classes sooner before they
fill up to limits. Another benefit for
taking classes at community colleges
is that the costs can sometimes be less
expensive than at universities.
Overall, surtimer school can be a
helpful choice for students, but to
make it a beneficial experience there
is a duty as a responsible student. As a
student, make sure to factor in devoting enough time to classes and other
comprehensive details including class
offerings, work status, and financial situation and plan one's schedule
accordingly.
Mini-Dorms in San Diego becoming a

We have all heard of the term "minidorms," but what exactly are they?
According to the city of San Diego
a mini-dorm is any house or apartment having three or more living areas
including rooms and lofts. These minidorms have been popping up all around
San Diego for decades. The amount of
living area is j ust too small for the masr
sive amount of college students that
reside throughout the entire city.
With colleges such as SDSU, CSUSM,
UCSD, Mira Costa, Palomar, and the
San Diego City College campuses that
are all stationed in San Diego there are
thousands and thousands of students
that need places to live.
As a sophomore at CSUSM Jack Overman says, "Living in a mini-dorm is a
lot more convenient. It makes rent a lot
cheaper when you live with a bunch of
people rather than living with another
person somewhere else. And with such
a high cost of living here in San Diego,
the more money s^ved the better."
The problem with these kinds of living
situations is the fact that the houses that
students are moving into were originally created for j ust one family. Students are known to pack 10-15 kids into
a house that was made for a family of
4 or 5. Neighbors complain because of
the excess noise and trash, not to men-
tion the amount of cars due to limited
parking.
Both sides of the spectrum have their
reasonable points, but so far nothing
has been done to change it. With the
ever-increasing amount of college students pouring into every county of San
Diego the amount of mini-dorms is only
going to increase each year.
As a student down at SDSU, Allison Ives believes that "mini-dorms j ust
make everything a lot easier for everyone. Living in a house with 7 girls makes
rent a lot lower and I love having so
many people over all the time, although
I can tell it does annoy the neighbors
a lot." With students needing places to
live and families needing more peace
and quiet throughout their neighborhoods is there any way to create a compromise?
The city of San Diego is currently
holding meetings and thinking about
placing ordinances around the city in
order to limit the amount of mini-dorms
that are allowed to stay standing. Laws
are also being thought of to banish
mini-dorms altogether.
If this is truly the case then a lot of
homeless college students will be looking for places to live within the next
few years. The city needs to figure out
a good compromise in order to allow
students to get a great education while
still living in the beautiful city of San
Diego.

CSUSM Softball broke info the
national spotlight last week, cracking

Get snuggly and musically satisfied with Gypsies
The Gypsy Lounge is the new place to be for musical nomads
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Music is one of the most important
influences in my life, as well as many
others', I'm sure. The feeling I get when
I see that musician take the stage and
debut his musical talent for the night - it
is unmatched by almost any other feeling.
This is why there is no better way to bask
in awe of a well deserving musician than
in the comfort of a place so personal that
you can almost call it home.
This is the reason that The Gypsy
Lounge
(www.thegypsylounge.com)
in Lake Forest, CA is beyond any bit of
doubt, my favorite place in the world (at
least thus far) to enjoy live music. As soon
as you walk in the door, you are met with
an extremely "living room" type of atmosphere. There are a handful of retro looking couches lining the walls with enough
pillows to prop yourself up or just snuggle
with, depending on your preference and
mood.
Aside from the fact that The .Gypsy
Lounge has the most comfortable seating
and makes the best and strongest drinks,
it is host to some of the greatest music in
Orange County - a lot of some big names
in music had their innocent beginnings at
this very club. Many of these bands who
began their careers playing little shows
to small crowds in this club have gone on
to become some of today's more popular
radio played musicians.
Rocco Deluca and the Burden, one
of today's best concert selling artists, is
one of the former hosts of a weekly night
of local artists coming together to play
acoustic sets at The Gypsy Lounge. This
title now shared by Chris Paul Overall, AJ
DeGrasse, Jay Buchanan, Joseph Denges
of Hollowell, Cory Joseph of Sleepless Me
and many other incredibly talented musicians. Along with Rocco Deluca is Brett
Panic at the Disco
sends SOMA fans
into a hot panic
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you cross hundreds of fourteenyear-old girls and their misfortunate parents, Honda Civics,
and shrieking during sound checks, but no exclamation point
necessary? Why, a Panic at the Disco concert, of course.
On Saturday, April 12, this year's Honda Civic tour, headlined by the band formerly known as Panic! at the Disco,
arrived to a sold out Soma in San Diego.
Dennen, yet another example of a local
artist who began playing shows at The
Gypsy Lounge and ended up with quite a
popular following and a wonderful amount
of radio credit.
Music changes lives - it has the ability
to take every single
emotion, especially
those that don't
make sense to you
- and it helps them
to become clear. If
some of these major
musicians had their
modest
beginnings in this club,
who knows what
could happen if you
showed up. Every
Tuesday is "not so
acoustic Tuesday"
and showcases some
of the most amazing
talent in Orange County and surrounding
areas. Take the drive - pay the few bucks
to get in - spend a few hours escaping
from your world and enter the soothing
world of music. Allow it to move you and
your life will be changed.

Living in San
Diego, a sushi restaurant isn't too
hard to come by.
A restaurant like
Sushi Huku, however, is an invaluable find for any sushi consumer.
Located conveniently close to
campus at 727 W. San Marcos Blvd,
Sushi Huku is a sushi restaurant
that offers phenomenal food fit for
a college student's budget.
Upon entering the restaurant
a customer is warmly welcomed
by the f riendly s taff. The t ype of
dining experience you are looking for should dictate where you
choose to sit. A prominent t hing to
note is the vastly d ifferent atmosphere between sitting at a table
or up at the bar. The tables o ffer
traditional Japanese style seat-
ing and create the p erfect
romantic atmosphere for
a datè. Sit at the bar for a
more exciting, entertaining atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with a
group of f riends. The f un
loving chefs love t o converse and never hesitate to celebrate with their customers. Don't
be surprised if you get
to know the s taff on
a first name basis, as
they somehow seem to
remember the names
of all their customers.
The restaurant offers
a full sushi menu as
well as a variety of
other traditional Japanese style dishes. The
prices blow many other
sushi restaurants out of
the water. Traditional
Maki rolls are offered
at $4.00; where as specialty rolls
rarely exceed $8.00.
So, when looking for a great sushi
restaurant to take that someone special or to have a night out with some
friends, look no further than Sushi
Huku. Great food, great prices, and
a great atmosphere — What more
is there to ask for in a sushi restaurant?
purchased
the
brewery
from
Korbel
Champagne Cellars.
The
large
brown glass bottles holds 25.4
fluid
ounces.
Grey and black
hues
comprise
the majority of
the label. A pitchfork looking object
takes center stage. Red lettering is
used in the name of the ale. Unlike
most beers, which are capped with
bottle caps, the brewery utilizes a
system found on most champagne
bottles. A mesh wire secures a cork
and thin aluminum cap with the
brewery's name in white and red
stencil, which all work together to
keep the bottle pressurized. The ale
has a 7,75% alcohol by volume. The
ale retails for $7.39 at BevMo.
The ale pours light and crisp yet surprisingly generates a full inch thick
head. The head gradually reduces to
a quarter inch thick. A slight head
then remains
for the duration of consumption. The
ale radiates a heavenly golden hue while carbonated
bubbles blissfully glide to the top of
the chilled glass. A scent similar to
that of the smells associated with a
Sunday barbeque occupy the surrounding air space. The ale enters
the mouth and quickly signals for a
thrilling ride. The ale then quickly
attacks the taste buds. The taste
buds and tongue tense up due to the
powerful surge. The ale descends
beyond leaving a thick coating of
yummy in its wake.
"The smooth and sweet malty hop
flavor of Damnation is what makes it
hands down, my favorite Belgian Ale
anywhere on the market," said senior
Literature and Writing Studies Major
Adam Lowe.
Damnation should be enjoyed by
itself. This peculiar ale deserves full
attention to ensure proper satisfaction
and experience. Enjoy Cougars!

Throughout the concert, I couldn't help but ask myself
whether or not the Tweens and die-hard Panic fans really
enjoyed their new music as much as their older hits (after all,
nothing in the new CD allows them to legitimately scream
out 'WHORE' to assist the song). But while their dance,
electrónica, and pop sound may be a thing of the past and
their stage performances alongside burlesque dancers and
sideshow circus backdrops are a distant memory, their talent
still shines through.
Now that they've abandoned the synthesizer for acoustic
guitars, anyone who may have disregarded their music from
the first album could learn to love them with an open mind
and a fresh appreciation for classic rock with a twist.
Anyone attending the additional tour dates should expect
a good show., .at the end. While last year's Honda Civic Tour
headlined by Fall Out Boy opened with up and coming talent—this year's showcases bands that have been opening for
years without even a well known hit. The exception goes to
Phantom Planet for their 'California' single, which came out
in...2004?
Panic's musical abilities are still ever apparent. Lead singer
Brendon Urie's vocals were on par even though it was his
21st birthday. And, as an added bonus, the crowd got to sing
'Happy Birthday' to him.
In their first album, the boys were still so young and desperate for attention. Now Panic at the Disco, in their sophomore album, assures fans they don't have to worry—that
they are still the same band. But while the band's four members are still the same, their music is clearly not.

What makes a good horror film?
Most would agree that the answer
includes lots of gore, suspense, unexpected twists, drama, and hot actors.

and

its good looking cast, quality acting, and raw horror.
Set in Cancun, Mexico,
"The R uins" begins with
four American college
students on a leisurely
vacation. When they
meet a German student,
Mathias, played by Joe
Anderson of "Across
the Universe," the
foursome decides to
j oin the other international students to visit
an ancient Mayan temple
that is supposed to be exclusive and off
the modern maps.
Based on the novel t urned screenplay by Scott B. Smith, the meat of the
film comes f rom the developing characters as they come to grips with the
reality set before them as once at the
temple, they become trapped and prisoners to a fate no logic or reason is able
to explain. Without giving away too
many of the exciting plot twists and key
moments in the film, it is safe to say that
the temple and the means to which the surrounding inhabitants go to keep it hidden
are extreme. For those who have not read
" The Ruins," on top of being scary, it is a
f un watch because the director and screenplay writer made conscious decisions to let
the audience discover what is happening
right alongside the characters in
the film, unlike many
other horror films that
are predictable and

" The

horror flicks, as it capitulates traditional
plot motivations, and utilizes an evolved
fear that even with prosthetics and CG3
animation, is still hard to w rap one's brain
around. One thing is for sure though, " The

harshest of critics.

Discrimination
Lawsuit
By MARTHA SARABIA
News Editor
After eight days of hearing
testimonies and months of wait
ing and rescheduling the trial,
a discrimination lawsuit filed
by Damon Bell, a former
African-American Cal State
San Marcos employee, against
CSUSM came to an end on
March 22, and the verdict
cleared CSUSM on seven sepa
rate counts.
Bell, a former assistant
director of Student and Resi
dential Life at CSUSM, filed the
lawsuit on October 12, 2000.
He was hired at Cal State San
Marcos in June 1997 and later
resigned in January 2001. Bell
claimed to be a victim of dis
crimination and harassment,
and he believed these problems
made his working conditions
intolerable. Bell also claimed
-that his complaints were not
taken seriously, only redirected,
and that he was denied promo
tions and raises because of his
race.
According to the jury, there
was no evidence or proof that
Bell’s intolerable problems were
caused by .any racially moti
vated decisions made by his
supervisors. Furthermore, one
of the jury members said the
defense had presented a better
case, which ultimately led
CSUSM to win.
The jury came to a deci
sion after about 4 Vi hours of
deliberation, but the verdict has
not stopped Bell’s accusations
against CSUSM; he has decided
to continue with the case. “I feel
I have continued to be betrayed
by employees there,” said Bell.
“I feel that this isn’t the end. I
intend to keep on going.”

attorney, said she would file

PAN Provides Information and Fun with a
Message of Environmental Awareness
By EMILY KELLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The Progressive Activist Net
work (PAN) stirred up the
campus with free music, refresh
ments and fun as part of their plan
to raise awareness about environ
mental issues. “The 4-1-1” took
place on Thursday in the dome
plaza from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and was billed as “...one of the
first steps in our master plan to
change this (CSUSM) into a fun
and cool campus with socially
aware students who make a dif
ference,” said PAN President
Eric Roper, in PAN’s recently
released newsletter. The event
is the first in what PAN hopes
will become an annual event
intended to encourage CSUSM
students, as well as the surround
ing community, to be more envi
ronmentally conscious.
The 4-1-1 coincided with
National Alternative Fuel Vehi
cle Day and came just prior to
Earth Day. Some students who
attended the event were given
the opportunity to test drive a
new hybrid vehicle, the Prius,
from Toyota, which was provided
courtesy of Toyota of Escon
dido. The name “Prius” means
“to go before” in Latin, and is
so named because it is Toyota’s
first standard production hybrid.
Although it looks compact on the
outside, it has an interior roughly
the size of a Toyota Camry or
Honda Civic. The Prius gets
about 55 miles per gallon in the
city and 42 mpg on the highway

President Dustin Naylor pre
sented information regarding
the ‘Indian Rock Native Garden
Project,’ a collaborative project
involving faculty member and
visual artist Deborah Small,
anthropologist Bonnie Bade
and the Native American San
Luis Rey Band, to the Execu
tive Board on Wednesday.
“I see a lot of potential for
some great community-university relationships that can be
built,” said Naylor, as he intro
duced his explanatory handout
to the board.
The garden will be a semes
ter long project of the ‘
Advanced
Computer Art’ class (VSAR

next spring. The students will
be thoroughly involved in the
cultivation and physical imple
mentation of the Indian Rock
Garden, which has yet to be
designed.
Students will also be
engaged “with the local com
munity, come to know the
social, economic, environmen
tal, historical, and cultural
worlds in .which the members
of the community live” said
Naylor. He added that students
are going to be exposed to,
“ethno-botanical
methods,
including documentation of
plant uses, native plant classifi
cations schemes, plant history,
lore and stories, plant applica
tions, administration and pro
cessing methods, harvest and
cultivation requirements, and
the geographic distributions of
the plans under study.”

slightly longer than a year.
When complete the dormi
tory buildings will reach almost
to the point in the parking area
where the pavement has been
removed. According to Dora
Knoblock, director of Parking
Services, once the dormitories
are completed lot O will perma
nently lose 40 to 50 spaces.
As for the impact on parking
problems for the next year, Kno
block said, they (parking ser
vices) are “anticipating an impact
in the San Marcos Ambulatory
Care Center (SMACC) overflow
lot and are preparing to expand
stack parking.” Knoblock also
said, parking services is*“expanding carpool spaces by adding 25
more designated spaces in lot C,”
which is the most popular park
ing lot, located closest to campus
on the comer of Craven Road and
Palm Canyon Drive.
Although the entire area
fenced off in lot O is not nec
essary for the actual construc
tion of the student housing, Brad
Fenton, project manager for Plan
ning, Design, and Construction,
said, “It wouldn’t be safe to allow
people to park right next to the
construction area.” In addition to
the safety regulations, Knoblock
said extra spaces were needed
to allow for a turnaround lane,
which provides room for people
to easily drive around the lot,
rather than having to back out as
the spaces next the fence fill up.
Included in the housing proj
ect is a new parking lot, which
will be located directed East of
lot O, but this lot will be reserved
for “residents of the dorms and
another university department,”
said Knoblock. The housing proj-

motions for a mistrial or a retrial.
Also, Perfili told Judge Dana
M. Sabraw, who replaced the
original judge, that CSU attor
neys engaged in misconduct
when they told the court one
of their witnesses would testify
that Bell’s gay lifestyle, not his
treatment on the job, caused his
stress. Although a psychothera
pist testified this was not true,
the defense claimed he would
find Bell’s lifestyle as the cause
of his stress. The defense’s claim
led Bell to declare his sexual ori
entation during jury selection,
which according to Perfili might
make a North County jury less
sympathetic.
The trial took place in Vista
Superior Court and lasted 10
days. Bell’s case is not the only
discrimination lawsuit against
CSUSM; other cases have been
resolved in the past and others
are still awaiting trial.

ect will contain 126 units with a
maximum occupancy of475 residents, and the lot will have 232
spaces.
With land at a premium price
and the university growing at a
rapid rate the only practical way
to deal with parking woes is to
build up.
“There are already plans for a
parking structure but how to fund
the project and where to build
first are ,still being discussed,”
said Fenton. “I have built parking
structures in the past, and it can
be done.”
Knoblock agreed and said,
“The big piece is the funding
source.” She also said decisions
are “always a balancing act”
between needs and funds, and
since parking services is based
on a self-support system, they
are “exploring ways in public
and private partnerships for rev
enue.” “We (parking services)
are exploring ways to keep from
making drastic changes,” said
Knoblock.
Knoblock said, parking ser
vices “encourages car-pooling
and takes concerns, complaints
and suggestions very seriously.”

Review, a website dedicated to
1993 and onwards Toyota cars,
“City mileage is also greatly
helped by the fact that, unlike
‘normal’ cars, the Toyota Prius
regains some of your energy
when you stop, taking what
would normally just be heat (and

Students milled around
during the event, enjoying music
from three local music acts: The

asked about the importance of
music in supporting events such

“Ashanti” Brings Soothing Voice
to Hip Hop
By Marlino Bitanga
Pride Staff Writer
Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito
After midterms, I needed to
take off for some fun and excite
ment. So without having to spend
too much money on airplane tick
ets, I booked a condo down south
at the Paloma Beach condos,
located in Rosarito, Mexico. I
told some friends they could stop
by anytime over the weekend to
crash if they needed to. They
could have the run of the house
except for the master bedroom,
which was mine. I drove down
on Thursday night with friends
Hayden, Mike, and Chivito. It
was only an hour and an half
drive from Vista with light traf
fic.
We got there late Thursday
night, settled in and then drove
farther south to Ensenada where
we went to drink at Hussons. It
was a mellow night, no real par
tying, but we met some very nice
stewardesses and invited them to
stop by the next afternoon. When
it was time to leave, we flipped
a coin to see who would have to
drive back to the condo. Mike
was the unfortunate loser, which
was good because he didn’t seem
to be drunk.
The next morning, I woke
first, searched for the car keys,
finally found them under Mike’s
stinky socks, and then drove into
town to buy some cases of Pacifico, a local beer. When I got
back to the condo, it was packed
with people, and they were all
strangers. Hayden had invited the
neighbors from down stairs, who
were almost all Norweigen girls.
A couple of them had their boy
friends. It was quite the crowd,
and the cases of beer I bought
earlier were gone by the noon.
Then when the alcohol was gone,
everyone felt we should go horseback-riding, many of them did.
Others went into to town to
barter, and one of the girls and
I rented quads instead of horses.
I felt sorry for the skinny horses
they rent to tourists.
It was almost five when we
all reconvened at the condo. A
group of us were going to go on a
short drive south to a small town,
Puerto Nuevo, where a .restau
rant I know has the best lobster
in the world. I have been going
to this restaurant for about 17
years. It is called Puerto Nuevo
1. It is not the fanciest restaurant,
but it is the absolute best. I have
eaten lobster from other places in
town, but none compare. There
is usually a line of guests wait
ing to be seated, but I get spe
cial treatment. While we were
in town, I treated all of us to
a “coco loco.” It is very pow
erful drink packed with about
six different liquors and coconut
milk served in a coconut with
some decorative straw. They taste
great, and by the end of your first
one, you start to feel the buzz. I
had about four. Man, I was feel
ing good.
“Knock, Knock,” Chivito
answered the
door; it was the
girls from Hus
sons. They were all dressed to
impress and ready for a night
out at Papas and Beer, a restau
rant and club in the main part
of Rosarito. The guys and me
where dressed much more casu
ally. Mike was wearing jeans and
black T-shirt, Chivito was wear
ing a Hawaiian shirt and board
shorts. Hayden looked the best
and was wearing black pants and
a nice dress shirt. Twas wearing
faded jeans, a black tank top,
and my black Chuck Taylors. We
all went as a group; it was me
and guys, the girls from down
stairs and the flight attendants.
Although, I’d like to think, I was
escorting the girl who I spent
the afternoon with. It was a fun
night of dancing, drinking, and
debauchery.
The next day every one did
their own things. I spent the day
with friends watching television,
drinking and talking about how
stupid we were for forgetting our
surfboards. We ate some fish
tacos, tampered with fireworks
and bought souvenirs for our
moms.
Now it was dark again and
time for another night at Papas
and Beer. We invited the girls to
come with us again. They agreed
but were first going to check out
a different place. So, we took off.
There was a longer line this time
at Papas and Beer, and we waited
impatiently. Once inside it was
booming. The Coronas and XXs,
other Mexican beers, were flow
ing. The girls arrived about an
hour later, which was very cool.
Then it happened. This idiot
drunk bumped into me. I ignored
him, but he felt that I bumped
into him. He decided to make
some stupid remark and push me.
Big mistake, especially when I
fwas only trying to have fun. Next
thing I remember, he is on the
ground, and I am in the arms of a
security guard being carried out
side where a police car is wait
ing. The police find my
flask, take it and put me
in the squad car.
Now, I’m in this cop car with
no back seat and sitting next to
a couple of local boys who are
trying to scare me with horrible
stories of what happens to grin
gos in jail. But it didn’t bother
or frighten me because I had
been in the Rosarito jail the year
before.
*
I would have had to spend
only about an hour in jail, but
since my friends did riot show
up and we were staying so far
out of town, I had to spend the
night. I sat on the concrete next
to all the other spring breakers
arrested for peeing in the streets,
fighting, or possession of drugs.
Finally, at dawn, my buddies
arrived to pick me up, and they
all had a bunch stories to tell me.
When we got back to the condo,
we slept for a few hours. I spent
the rest of the day with the girl
from Norway. It was our last day
in Mexico, so we all said our
good byes and headed for that
long wait at the border crossing.

Changing Lanes Addresses Believable Moral Dilemma
Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM
By GEORGE BURGESS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Road rage escalates to cata
strophic levels in Paramount Pic
ture’s suspense thriller, Changing
Lanes. The film directed by Roger
Michell, starring Ben Affleck and
Samuel L. Jackson, opened in
theaters Friday
The story takes place in
modern day New York City,
where two strangers Gavin Banek
(played by Affleck), and Doyle
Gibson (played by Jackson) have
a fender bender. Coincidentally,
both men are in route to the court
hearings of their lives. Banek,
a powerful Wall Street lawyer,
is to present the legal signatures
needed, by his partners, to usurp
the power of their billion-dollar
law firm. Gibson, an insurance
broker and recovering alcoholic,
is on his way to his final child
custody hearing and intends to
try and convince his ex-wife to
remain in New York with their
two sons.
Banek and Gibson begin to
exchange insurance information.
Banek is pressed for time and
offers to buy his way out of
the ordeal, but Gibson is trying
to straighten
out his life
andwantsto
do things “the right way.” Frus
trated and late, Banek abandons
the scene. He leaves Gibson
stranded, and says, “Better luck
next time.” What Banek doesn’t
realize is that he accidentally
leaves his legal documents at the
scene of the accident.
Gibson, who has an anger
management issue, is late for his
court hearing. Neither his ex-wife
nor the judge is willing to accept,
yet another excuse from Gibson.
Gibson blames Banek for ruining
his plans, and, at the same time,
Banek is faced with the enormous
pressure of having to produce his
lost documents. The feud over the
files escalates viciously through
out the course of the day with
grave costs to both men.
The primary theme of the
movie is conflict. On the sur
face, Changing Lanes is an urban
battle between two uncompro
mising men. Beyond the obvi
ous, the movie is addressing
the internal conflicts of human
nature. Gibson’s moral dilemma
comes with accepting, even in
sobriety, that his personality
remains tainted with anger and
instability, and Banek is forced
to toil between the reality of selfinterest and the idealism of the
legal system.
Changing Lanes is solidified
through the believable acting
of the supporting cast. William
Hurt-The Alcoholics Anon
ymous Sponsor, Sydney Pollack-Banek’s father in-law,
and Toni Collette- Michelle,
Banek’s girlfriend, each delivered
noteworthy performances. Brad
ley Cooper, Jennifer Dundas,
Ileen Getz, apd Kim Staunton
also contribute with lesser roles.
For promotion of the movie’s
debut, Jackson participated in an
open chat forum on MSN. Over
the course of an hour, Jackson
fielded questions from fans and
critics, worldwide. When asked to
describe Changing Lanes using
only
one
word
Jackson
responded, “Intense.” Given a
few more words, I would add
thought provoking and frighten
ingly believable.
When asked what he hoped
people would get out of Chang
ing Lanes, Jackson said, “There’s
a moral dilemma that both these
people have to deal with and take
responsibility. I think it’s great
we’ve done a film that will send
people out of the theater and into
a coffee shop to talk about it. It
ought to touch on some interestjngjissues and hopefullv it will
done without the religious ico
nography. Throughout the movie,
Banek and Gibson show signs
of remorse and question their
own morality. These moments
come, too obviously, under the
guiding light of the Roman Cath
olic Church. Gibson’s repentance
comes in a scene where he makes
peace with his ex-wife. In the
empty house, where the conver
sation takes place, hangs a sole
picture of the Virgin Mary. Simi
larly, Banek, distraught from the
events of the day, stumbles into a
church confessional. The moral
ity problems presented in the
film are earthlv, but the solutions
R EV IEW

inspire conversations between
people.”
Where there is conflict, there
is generally resolution or, in
this case, redemption. I loved
the movie, yet, I could have
offered are supernatural or religious. In other words, real problems, yes, one religion presented
as the solution, no thanks,
The movie is rated R by the
MPAA, for language.'

A few weekends ago, I went to
Jacumba, a small town located 75 miles
east of San Diego. The town is so small
that you would most likely not notice it as
you drive by on the freeway. Nonetheless,
at night, you can see the dim lights glim
mering off in the distance.
Only about 400 people reside in the
town of Jacumba, but back in the “roar
ing twenties” and 1930s, Jacumba was
a hopping town. Jacumba’s natural hot
springs attracted many visitors and were
a major magnet for Hollywood c e le ri
ties. The city thrived with affluent people,
but today it’s just a little town. The town
is comprised of nothing but a small strip
of road with old buildings on both sides.
On a sunny day, you might see a tumble
weed somersault across the road. Jacumba
makes you feel like you
are in some old
ghetti Western.”
My buddy, Mike, temporally lives out
there and works as a floor-supervisor at
5 / k ta i1 ii
the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo. I
visited the casino while I was in town.
This modern casino is not as popular as
Pala or Viejas but offers plenty of activi
ties. There’s great food, impressive prizes,
beer & liquor and whole lot more. There
are over 750 slots and plenty of Black
Jack, poker and other game tables.There
is also a 24-hour restaurant and gas sta
tion where you can buy some goodies for
the long road trip home. And for truckers,
they provide a truck center and Trucker’s
lounge.

ing my chips so that everyone could see
I was a high-roller. I never play the mini
mum $5 or $10 bet because if I want to
win big, I must be willing to lose big.
Finally, like a hawk, I honed my eye
on a table. The dealer looked at me as I
approached his podium. He looked intim
idated, not knowing what to expect. The
table was empty. It was a $10 minimum
bet table, but I was not about to bet so
little.
I threw down an $100 chip. First
hand, bang, I lost. I dropped 2 more
chips ($200) immediately on the table,
bang; I lost again. I lost over $1,000 in the
first fifteen minutes. No big thing, bang;
that’s Black Jack. On one hand, I won
back $500. I won the next three hands,
doubling and then tripling my cash flow.
After a few more hands, the pit boss
switched dealers. A crowd formed around
me; I was winning big and occasionally
losing some too. I battled different dealer after dealer, winning.
Now I was up a couple thousand
dollars and was dealt two face cards. I
split the two hoping to hit double Black
Jack. I didn’t; I busted on both hands.
I ended up losing almost two grand on
that one hand. It was OK though; it’s all
worth the adrenaline. I walked over to
bar and had me a scotch on the rocks.
“Hmmm-ah,” it tasted good, and I paid
for it with the little winnings I had left.
To win at any casino, you have to be
willing to lose, but don’t worry about any
money lost because no matter what the
result, win or lose, you will have a good
time.

�Opinion
Choki ng
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
Every Tuesday and Thurs
day, as I walk to my final class
in University Hall, I find myself
taking the stairs and choking on
the clouds of cigarette smoke that
fill the stairwell. Not only do
people choose to smoke on the
stairs, but they choose to block
them by sitting down on the
bottom stair, allowing for barely
enough space for one person to
slide by.
Is there a need to force nonsmokers and smokers alike to
share in your filthy habit? Why
is it people smoke in the most
absurd places - like right in front
in
the
Stairwell
of the entrance to a restaurant
or in a busy stairwell? Is it that
hard to walk the extra feet and
smoke in the open areas of the
campus to, at least, pretend you
have courtesy for those around
you?
The most amusing thing I
find about the smokers on the
third floor is that there are big
white signs that say in red writ
ing, “Please Do Not Toss Cig
arette Butts on Roof.” From
experience, I’ve learned that
money is not spent on signs
unless there is a recurring behav
ior that needs to be stopped. Is it
possible that some smokers can
be so ignorant they just tofe a
cigarette butt on a roof instead of
putting it in the garbage can they
are standing next to? I think that
it is rude and should be stopped.
I know that in northern Califor
nia many establishments enforce
a rule that stipulates people must
be a certain number of feet away
from the entrance of a building
before lighting up.
Does there need to be a rule
for people to wake up and realize
that not everyone wants to inhale
their second-hand smoke as they
try to walk to and from classes?
I surely hope that college-edu
cated citizens know the rules of
etiquette that we as a society
adhere to. But maybe I’m wrong,
and we should insert an etiquette
class in the schedule.
Does the Sun Damage Driving Brain Cells?
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
I have witnessed many differ
ent styles of terrible driving, but I
would have to give southern Cal
ifornia the award for “The Most
Ignorant Drivers.” I’ve driven on
the East Coast, which is, stereotypically, the home of the worst
drivers in the world, but they
don’t hold a token to those who
drive on roads from “The 78”
down through San Diego.
My first instance of igno
rance was in late February when
the rain hit. I have come to the
conclusion that all the driving
brain cells leave rwhen rain hits
southern California. On this par
ticular day, I sat on “The 15”
for two and a half hours, only
moving from Valley Parkway to
Carmel Mountain Road, which
is normally at the most a fifteenminute drive. But that wasn’t
the most shocking portion of
the wait. While sitting in what
looked like a parking lot, I had
my first experience with intense
southern California road rage.
I looked into my rear view
mirror and witnessed a “trucker”
get out of his semi-truck, walk
over to a man in a small Nissan
pickup, who obviously was trying
to merge into the lane against
the will of die “trucker,” open
the door of the Nissan, drag the
driver out onto the freeway, and
proceed to slug him with all of
his road-rage-filled-fists. Then,
as though it were a normal part
of his daily activities, he walked
back to his truck and merged
into a different lane. Those types
of things don’t happen where
I’m from, and I don’t think they
happen anywhere else in the
United States. If that were to
happen where I’m from, you’d
probably get shot.
My second experience with
local road rage was on Thurs
day. I was leaving school, enter
ing Highway 78-East from Twin
Oaks Boulevard. Since it was
4:25 p.m., there was barely any
movement. When I merged onto
the freeway, I attempted to merge
over one more lane. There were
at least two car lengths of room,
so I went for it. Immediately after
I put my blinker on, a person
driving a red truck that I was
trying to get in front of stepped
on the gas and tried to block
me from merging. Since I was
already over and still had enough
room (even with the jerk-action
of the driver), I continued to
merge. This woman proceeded
to give me the finger, yelling
at the top of her lungs, cursing
at me and literally making her
car swerve back and forth. Then
after she vented, obviously disap
pointed with the lack of response
from me, she sped into the lane
to the left of me, speeding up to
come beside me. She then con
tinued to yell at me, using her
very articulate four-letter words,
and swerved in front of me to
prove a point, almost losing con
trol of her truck and almost hit
ting the cars beside her and in
front of her while continuing to
give me the finger.
I never thought that I would
say this, but I think that Los
Angeles drivers are better than
their southern partners in the San
Diego area. At least they have
some sort of consistency in their
idiocy. Be it rain, sun, traffic,
parking, on the freeway or right
here on campus, I have to say,
“Congratulations San Diego, you
are the United States Most Igno
rant Drivers.”
Did Muslim-Americans
Pay Lip Service to 9-11?
By DAVID YANAGI
Pride Staff Writer
Shortly after the September
11 terrorist attacks, when a
clearer picture of the perpetra
tors and their motives began
to emerge, Muslim-Americans
were thrust into the national
spotlight to defend themselves
and their beliefs. Across the
country, Muslim leaders and
activists were quick to condemn
the events with a shared media
mantra that characterized Osama
bin Laden and his cohorts as
extremists, unrepresentative of
their peaceful Islamic beliefs.
With the exception of some
unfortunate hate crimes since
the attack, we have for the most
part, taken them for their word
and moved on.
Now the focal point of terror
ism has moved from New York
City to Israel. And again, many
Muslims in this country have
voiced their opinion on the situ
ation, although with a bit more
fervor than 9-11. And from what
I can tell, there seems to be
an almost unanimous solidarity
with their Palestinian brethren in
how they view the Middle East
crisis. Suicide bombers or ‘free
dom fighters,’ as they’re being
called by many, are continu
ously defended with rationaliza
tions and justifications for their
actions, subtly in American pub
lications and programs, but bla
tantly in many and most Arab
and Muslim-American newspa
pers and websites. I don’t want
to imply that anyone who empa
thizes with the Palestinian cause
favors terrorist tactics, but News
week recently reported 80 per
cent of Palestinians approve of
suicide attacks. It would be hard
to imagine such a view limited
only to the region. Both in the
media and in my own personal
experience, Muslim-Americans
tend to implicate the Israelis
as the real terrorists and see
the defenseless Palestinians as
merely fighting back the only
Way they can. Upon examination
of such a belief, the first thing
that comes to mind is how it
completely contradicts the Mus
lim-American denouncement of
the terrorist attacks on Amer
ica. An inconsistency that should
lead some to wonder if we were
had and were merely told what
we wanted to hear by much of
the Muslim community.
Let’s assume for a moment
that the suicide attacks against
Israeli citizens are somehow jus
tified. Israel is systematically
killing innocent Palestinians
with their military and its
advanced weaponry, while the
Palestinians use their only
weapon - themselves - to deliver
eye for eye retaliation. The
United States has sent and con
tinues to send billions of dollars
in aid to help Israel pay for the
tanks rolling into the West Bank.
This is the type of financial
support that has ‘mainstream’
Muslim and Arab news outlets,
both here and abroad, citing the
United States as an accomplice
to Israel in the death and destruc
tion. And if the United States
and Israel are in this together,
then this country is a viable
target; a point of view shared by
the terrorists on 9-11. If the ene
my’s motive and the results of a
suicide attack are all the same,
then, is it not valid to question
whether many Muslim-Ameri
cans are being disingenuous by
frowning on one and then excus
ing another?
If the true feelings of many
people in this country about 9-11
are hidden behind a politically
or patriotically correct faQade,
then President Bush’s “with us
or against us” statement should
have been domestically directed.
And the future of terrorism in
the US may be seen through the
eyes of an Israeli because if they
are fair game, then so are we.
It's Just a Matter of Perspective...

When our weary world was young, the struggle of the Ancients first began. The Gods of Love and Reason sought alone to ule the fate
of Man. They battled through the ages, but still neither force would yield. Their people were divided; every soul a battlefield...
They say there are strangers, who threaten us in our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness, too dangerous in our
theatres and bookstore shelves. Those who know what's best for us - must rise and save us, from ourselves. Quick to judge. Quick to
anger. Slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.
A tired mind become a shape-shifter. Everybody need a soft filter. Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings
about the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm.
These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me, just one more who's searching for the world that ought to be. The
more that things change, the more they stay the same.
I have memory and awareness, but I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am, dead yet unborn.
We can walk our road together if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free if we pursue a different aim. Let the
truth of Love be lighted. Let the love of Truth shine dear. Sensibility. Armed with sense and liberty, with the Heart and Mind
united in a single perfect sphere.

�New Security Measures Cause Disappointment with
Spring Break Travels
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Opinion Editor
Have you been through an
airport recently? Chances are,
since many of us just got back
from spring break, many of you
have. Hopefully your experiences
were better than mine. Not to
say that my travels over break
were all bad, but I definitely have
a question as to whether or not
the over 6 billion dollars allo
cated for airport security mea
sures, which will continue to be
funneled into airports, is doing
anything to protect us.
Traveling through Los Ange
les International Airport was a
breeze. Airport personnel were
very well organized, and their
new security systems looked like
something out of a Star Trek
movie. Laptop computers have to
be taken out and screened sepa
rately, but there were many (even
friendly) people standing in front
of the security machines, inform
ing passengers of the new pro
cedures^ You wouldn’t believe
how many people travel with lap
tops. I expected to be one of a
select few, but almost everyone I
saw pulled a laptop out of their
carry-on bags, at least at LAX.
Even at that, it only took me
about 45 minutes to get through
security and to arrive at my gate,
despite having my two-year-old
in tow. I felt safe; the National
Guard was everywhere, armed
to the hilt with fully automatic
rifles as well as their personal
side arms.
I had a layover in Kansas City,
which compared to LAX is a very
small airport, but they had their
share of National Guard mem
bers, and their baggage screening,
though not as sophisticated, was
thorough. Between the stroller,
the diaper bag, my briefcase, and
my little girl, I had a lot to drag
around, and the food court was
at the far end of the terminal.
Even with my military ID, they
wouldn’t let me leave anything
(even the diaper bag) at the gate
sp we could go get something to
eat more easily. I actually appre
ciated their adherence to guide
lines, however inconvenient for
me, because once again, I #felt
safe. I reached my destination
fairly happy with the new secu
rity measures.
My trip home was a different
story.
Chicago’s Midway airport
was comparable to LAX - they
had sophisticated systems, and
despite the hoards of passengers,
the now infamous Argenbright
security personnel were helpful
and friendly. Problems were non
existent until the plane for my
flight arrived late due to bad
weather at its originating air
port.
We boarded late, and there
were seven or eight standby pas
sengers on their way to Mexico.
None of the flight attendants
spoke Spanish and the passen
gers’ English wasn’t great. No
one could get them to sit down so
we could leave. (Why, oh why,
didn’t I learn Spanish instead of
French?)
We eventually took off just
twenty minutes late, but I still
missed my connection in

Denver.
Six of us from the Chicago
flight were running across the
terminal, and we watched them
close the door to our connecting
flight to Los Angeles. No one
bothered to tell the pilot that more
passengers were on the way. Bad
communication. We were stuck.
There was a woman who had
a connection to Singapore from
LAX. She was really stuck. The
next flight wasn’t until the next
morning.
Everything went downhill
•from this point. The airport staff
was rude, unhelpful, inconsider
ate, and completely unaccommo
dating from the moment we were
at their mercy.
“No, you don’t have to stay in
a hotel, you are welcome to stay
here in the terminal [for the next
twelve hours with a two year old]
until your next flight leaves,” was
the standard line I was given by
five or six different people.
Apparently, several dozen
people missed flights that night
because of bad weather at other
airports across the country. In
Denver, it’s usually local weather
that keeps passengers behind, but
not this time. With all the delays,
hotels around the airport booked
up very quickly, but, at least, they
gave us a “distressed passenger”
rate. I couldn’t believe this hap
pens so often that they have a
name for it.
After a four hour nap at a
hotel 25 minutes from the airport
(nothing is close to the terminals
in Denver) we found ourselves
back at the airport the next morn
ing. The airline wouldn’t store
our luggage for us the night
before, so we had to take it all
the way to the hotel, bring it all
back again the next morning, and
stand in line to check it once
again.
We got to the airport two and
an half-hours before our flight
was scheduled to leave; we still
almost missed it. The security
procedures were a mess. The line
to check baggage took over half
an hour, the secondary security
check took another twenty min
utes, and the main security check
to get into the terminal took an
hour.
I would have been completely
understanding if the staff had at
least been nice. I actually had
a nasty airline employee tell me
that I missed my flight the night
before because of my attitude right after I apologized for being
impatient with her. I was stressed,
exhausted, and dragging along
an extremely cranky two-yearold.
The most distressing part of
my trip was realizing that the
secondary security checks are
STILL not conducted randomly.
One out of every ten tickets
is flagged, and that passenger
is checked thoroughly at every
single checkpoint - baggage
check, main security, and board
ing - at every single airport.
It was such a joke.
My ticket was flagged, so
I had to completely empty all
of my bags, take off my shoes
and be frisked by security eleven
times on my trip. My military ID
meant nothing. I knew from the
first moment I checked in at LAX
that this was going to happen to
me. Everyone else went through
the same old relaxed procedures
that airlines have been conduct
ing for years. Likewise, anyone
who wasn’t told at check-in that
they were subject to secondary
security could count on not being
searched for the remainder of
their trip.
Does this make sense?
If I know that I’m subject to
secondary search at every stop,
even if I had something illegal,
I would sure as heck get rid of
it before I got to the checkpoint.
And if I were a bad person who
wanted to hurt people, I could
wait until after I had checked my
bags to find out if I was going
to be searched. Untagged pas
sengers never opened their bags,
never got frisked and never took
off their shoes.
I know that the FAA is trying
to avoid charges of racial pro
filing, but this was ridiculous.
Maybe every tenth passenger
in line for boarding should be
searched? That could be over
come too.
Should everyone go through
the same security measures that
I did? That would be better than
the way it is now. I would be will
ing to wait in line for that. The
way it is now, several people,
of multiple ethnic backgrounds
and looking far more suspicious
than a young woman with a baby
and a military ID, walked onto
the plane without a second look.
Those National Guard troops
can’t do a heck of a lot once the
plane is in the air.
Daily Thoughts on... Senioritis
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
I think I have a case of
senioritis. It’s already the elev
enth week of school, and I feel
as if all my motivation has either
been sucked out of my system or
it never caught up with me after
spring break. As class deadlines
draw closer, I am so swamped
with group projects and papers.
It’s as if all my professors forgot
to go to that meeting to let each
other know that they were sched
uling an assignment for a partic
ular day.
My internship isn’t cooperat
ing with me either. Have you ever
felt that you wanted to do some
thing for yourself? I thought by
obtaining an internship it would
help me gain more knowledge
able about the field I am trying to
enter or provide me more work
experience. But at the facility,
my title of “intern” has grown
to mean faxing, getting the mail,
and sitting at an isolated desk at

When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical lit
erature, 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, along with
your mailing address, e-mail, phone number, and major or graduate field of study to ACD 324.
Also e-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted

Administration building may
come to fruition in the near
future. The CSU Board of
Trustees approved the building
project, which will cost $26.8
million. "Everything (that is
built) is funded by state issues,"
explained Carol Bonomo,
Associate Vice President of
External Affairs.
In order for this project to
receive funding, it needs to be
included in a bond issue ballot
for March 2002. According to
Bonomo, the entire bond issue
ballot will range from " $2 billion to $8 billion." The project
must be approved by the state
legislature by August 31 of this
year in order to be included
on the March 2002 bond issue
ballot. If it is not approved^
Bonomo said that the University
would try again in November. If
the legislature passes the bond
issue ballot, then the governor
will put the project in the budget and construction will begin
shortly thereafter.
The process from project
approval to completion can be
lengthy. The Arts and Science
buildings, approved in 1998, are
still currently in the construction phase. If the bond ballot
passes next year, then the building will be scheduled for completion by June 2006. However,
this date may be as early as
2004 or 2005.

Christian Students Hold Weeklong Bible Marathon on Campus
By J. RYAN SANDAHL
Pride Staff Writer
"We're hoping to bring different people from all walks of
life together to dialogue," said
Ruth Bran, a spokesperson and
volunteer for Priority Christian
Challenge (PCC), a club on campus. PCC hosted a Bible Reading
Marathon last week.
Students, faculty, and staff
were able to sign up for halfhour sessions in which the Bible
was read aloud with a goal of
reading the Bible from cover to
cover by the end of the week.
The marathon lasted from seven
in the morning to nine o'clock at
night each day of the week.
"We're not here to throw the
word in people's faces like Jeb
does,'' Bran said, referring to
pastor Jeb Smock who comes
each semester to the free speech
area and shouts accusations at
students. "This is why there are
no microphones or speakers set
up," Bran explained. "It's'more
of a quiet setting where people
can come listen and dialogue
with one another," she added.
There were many reasons
why the club decided to put on
the Bible Marathon. "No book
has sold more copies than the

read the Bible during the weeklong marathon.

Bible," Bran explained. "That is
why we want to have it read.
That and many people don't read
the Bible as often or as thoroughly as this."
Included in the reading is a
Spanish/English version of the
Bible so students that speak
Spanish could also read if they
wished. Bran did much of her
reading in Spanish.
"I think PCC has good
intentions/' said CSUSM student
Chris Orman. "I wouldn't have
a problem with other religions
doing what these guys are doing.
It adds to the diversity of the
campus."
Priority Christian Challenge
is different from another d ub on
campus known as Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship (IVCF).
Many IVCF members signed up
and helped read the Bible during
the week. As did many other
students throughout the week.

�April Is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Not many people may be
aware that, in 1997, the State of
California named April Sexual
Assault Awareness Month. Sexual
violence can be a hush-hush topic
and may get downplayed on some
university campuses. At Cal State
San Marcos the University Store
is the only area on campus posting information.
Sexual assault, as defined by
the United States National Victim
Center, is "any unwanted, indecent sexual conduct by a person
towards a man, woman or child,
accompanied by the threat of,
or the exposure to danger, physr
ical suffering or injury, fear,
shame, humiliation and mental
anguish."
InCalifornia there is "a vision
to end sexual assault." The
California Coalition Against
Sexual Assault (CALCASA) is
working to "expose the insidiousness of sexual violence, raise
public awareness of what the
American Medical Association
has called a 'silent and violent epidemic,' change public perception
of sexual violence and heal this
degradation against the human
race."
From CALCASA's March
2001 report (www.calcasa.orgl
lists some interesting statistics
about sexual assault:
An estimated 302,100
women and 92,700 men are
forcibly raped each year in
the United States
• In the United States, one in
three girls and one in five
boys is assaulted as a child.
The typical child sex
offender molests an average
of 117 children, most of
whom do not report the
offense.
Sexual abuse is the most
under-reported crime in the
United States. While the
number of cases isn't
known, researchers estimate
that as few as one in 10
cases is reported to authorities.
• . Only 2 percent of rapists are
convicted arid imprisoned.
• About one in three women
and one in eight men is
raped after turning 18. . „
San Diego is number two in
the state for reported rape
occurrences.
"In order to stop being victims, we ourselves must take
up the struggle against [sexual
assault]. Individually and collectively we can break the silence
and make it no longer a taboo subject, or something shameful that
weighs us down," states Susan
Griffith, author o f "Rape: The
Politics of Consciousness''
Here are 20 Ways You Can
Begin to Stop Sexual Assault
from the 1998 California AntiSexist Political Caucus:
1) If you have been a victim
of sexual assault either by a
stranger, acquaintance or an
intimate, know there is help
out there. Seek it.
2) Interrupt rape/sexual assault
jokes.
3) Women: Take self-defense
classes.
4) Recognize that no one asks
or deserves to be assaulted
ever.
5) Don't blame the victims
for the violence perpetrated
against them.
6) Know that silence does not
equal consent.
7) Take responsibility for your
own,sexuality; do not let it
be defined by your partner,
the media or anyone else.
8) Donate money or time as a

Q: WhatexactI ly do you want to
I see happen in ASI?
A: "I want to
see ASI further student life on campus
through the promotion and success of
such events as the Spring Fest. I encourage
students to attend ASI events and would
hope that such events would promote student awareness of ASI, as well as the student life here at CSUSM."
Q: What role would you play in implementing your goals and expectations?
A: "I would try to implement ASI
goals through the responsibilities of the VP
of Finance position, I plan on keeping
an up-to-date budget, keep the students
informed of the budget through the ASI
board and to keep track of budgeting success of ASI."
Q: Why should the students elect you?
A: "I have the experience as undergraduate representative, and through this
experience I have a feel for some of the
desires of the students, such as the need
for increased studenjpfe. I enjoy being
a student at CSUSM and hope that the
students will recognize my determination,

Ton said that important issues CSUSM
students face include a "lack of information and connection in order for
them to utilize all the free and helpful
resources on campus." He added that
these resources include the Career
Center, the Writing and Math Centers, EOPS, ASI, ASPIRE, The Pride,
financial aid and counselors. Ton recognizes that students negotiate other
problems, including an "unexciting
campus life" and the need to get more
involved in the campus community.
Ton said he also thinks that "moderation," in both academics and free time
are necessary ingredients in a college
environment.
In order to make himself available
to students, Ton said that he will "have

Jocdyn Brown is running for Vice President of External Affairs. She has worked as
ASI corporate secretary for the last year.
When asked, "What specific actions would
you take to get students more involved in
campus life?" Brown responded, "It's important to bring back issues from the C SSA...
issues that effect all students in the CSUs. I'd
be starting a lobby corps to bring students up
to date on political issues. I also think that
with anything you want participation in, the
biggest thing is advertising."
Brown proposed advertising on campus
using "open forums in the free speech area,
posting, and working on posting policy.
For elections they open it up. We've been
putting things up in chalk, but it seems like
we can't do that for anything else.
Regarding student involvement, Brown
added, "You can put it all out there, but then
it depends on how many students come to
you. One challenge is that we don't have a
residence hall."
Asked, "What have you learned so far,
from being involved in ASI, about the position?" Brown replied, "I've gone to probably 50 percent of the CSSA conferences, so I
see the whole process. A lobby corps would
help as a political committee, to get students
involved with issues like tax on text books,
to bring that information downfromCSSA
through a group of students who could help
me spread it around campus. I also have
helped with voter registration and the open
forum, when we brought local candidates on
campus before last election."
Brown is a biology major. She said she
voted for Al Gore in the recent national elections.

The Pride
The Charlie Parker Story Shown for CSUSMs Film Series
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
Beneath the shadows of the dark,
smoke-filled nightclubs of the
1940s comes a murky portrayal
of the life of the world's most
famous junkie.
Sifting through the nightclub
life, laden with alcohol and druginduced delirium, Clint Eastwood
creates an account focused on
the character of Charlie Parker in
"Bird." Admission to "Bird," the
second piece in CSUSM's Art's
and Lectures Film Series, was
free, but only about 30 people
showed up.
Touching only certain historical aspects of the Bebop era,
the film showcases more of the
music created by Parker (played
by Forest Whitaker).
Bouncing between scenes of
heroin-induced mayhem and
improvisational jazz, Whitaker
does a great job getting into character for this tough roll. The film
highlights the last few years of
Parker's life and how he neglected to care for himself, leading
to his demise. When he died,
the coroner estimated his age to
be 65, but he was actually 34.
"Don't ever let them take me
back to Kansas City," said Parker,
who moved away from his roots
and created his own completely
fresh style of music. Known for
changing the face of jazz forever,
the Bird added eighth notes in
his melodies, giving bebop flavor
to old favorites and eventually
creating an entirely new sound.
The bebop musicians played so
fast and had so many rhythm
changes that listeners sometimes
complained they couldn't dance
to the new sound.
Touring through Harlem,
Chicago, Hollywood, the southern states and Paris, Parker didn't
listen to the criticism and was
dedicated to finding an audience
and ways to make money by playing his horn. Relatively unsuccessful in gaining monetary success, the Bird was able to eventually turn heads and one scene
showed fans in Paris raining
down roses as he ended a performance.
Although technology in the
1940s was not what it is today,
sound enhancements allowed the
true recordings to be used for
the soundtrack, and this accented
what the film focused on: the
music of Charlie Parker and this
father of bebop. Clint Eastwood
got together with Chan Parker,
Charlie's fourth wife, and found
many of Parker's live recordings.
They weren't very clear but by
using digital sound equipment,
Eastwood and Parker were able
to find some recordings never
before released that add to the
true beauty of the Bird's live
improvisation abilities, matching
the dark nightclub scenes that
saturate the film,
One recurring image in the
film is a single drum cymbal
floating through the air used to
bridge different scenes. The cym-
at again.
Two important men in
Parker's life as told in the story
are Dizzy Gillespie (played by
Samuel E. Wright) and Red
Rodney (played by Michael
Zelniker). Gillespie, also know
for his contributions to bebop,
portrays the success that Parker
was never able to obtain. In the
film, you find the love the two
had for each other, but they
end up taking different paths.
Gillespie leads a successful big
band in an overt attempt to prove
the masses wrong about the new
sound, while Parker's irresponsibility leads him to always being
broke, late and in the mist of
drug disorientation.
Parker befriends Red Rodney
while in L.A., where Red finds
Parker sitting on a trashcan shooting up heroin preparing for a
gig. The two end up teaming up
later in the movie for a colorful
tour of the South, marking one
of the only bright tours in the
film. In this part, it shows not
only segregation at nightclubs of
rural areas, but the group having
fun as they successfully perform,
drawing at times dancing crowds
of over 500.

Joey Ramone's Death R A M O N E S
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer
Joey Ramone, front man for the
pioneering American punk band The
Ramones, died Sunday, April 15, in a
New York hospital at age 49.
Ramone, often hailed as the father of
punk rock, was hospitalized last month
with lymphatic cancer, which he'd been
fighting for years.
Born Jeffrey Hyman, Ramone started playing in garage bands in New Yorkhe quickly put aside drumming to front
for the Ramones, whose four members
all adopted the same last name. The
band burst on the scene in a musical
era quickly growing stagnant. Ramone
called 70s rock "a hodgepodge of Pink
Floyd and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
and all that. [We] stripped it right down
to bone, and we disassembled it and
reassembled it and put all the raw energy
and raw emotion and guts and attitude
back into it."
They put attitude and energy back
into a flagging scene and are credited
with the subsequent explosion of the
British punk music scene in 1976.
After spending only two days and
$6,000 on their debut album, The
Ramones, the band toured in England
in 1977, and its early music provided
a veritable breeding ground for bands
like The Clash and The Sex Pistols to
take off from. Their simple, three-chord
melodies and high-energy, garage rock
sound never propelled them into the Top
40, but it did establish them as "the
daddy punk group of all time," according
to Joe Strummer of The Clash, who paid
homage to The Ramones in a recent
interview with Spin magazine.

style. Joey R. (3rdfrom left), died ofcancer

Their first single, "Bliztkrieg Bop"
paved the way for 21 albums, 14 of
which were studio-produced efforts by
renowned producer Phil Spector. 1979's
effort, End ofthe Century,; was their bestselling album, and while the band only
climbed as high as 44 on the charts, their
remake of "Baby, I Love You" made it
into the top 10 in Britain.
Despite the lack of commercial success, The Ramones. remained beloved in
the hearts of fans in both the United
States and Britain for more than 22 years.
The band members' blend of leather,
denim, sunglasses and sneakers rendered
them recognizable anywhere, along with
characteristically short, thumping singles
like "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheila is a
Punk Rocker" and "Beat on the Brat."
Ramones Mania, the band's 1988 compilation album, quite possibly holds the
record for most songs on one album,
casing 30 of their most popular.
The Ramones retired in 1996 with a
farewell performance on the Lollapalooza
tour and a final performance in Toronto
in 1997.
Joey Ramone spent nearly half of his
life performing, and those of us who were
lucky enough to catch The Ramones, live

us that we were privy to something
groundbreaking. Joey Ramone will be
missed.

Tom Green Fingered
By MARLINO BATINGA
Pride Staff Writer
"I could not stop laughing,
my stomach ended up hurting
so much" said Lucy Barragan,
a Liberal Arts major from USD.
"I was already falling off of the
edge of my seat and five minutes of the movie hadn't even
passed." If you enjoy MTV's
"The Tom Green Show," then
your stomach will definitely be
hurting after you see "Freddy
Got Fingered." Green, director,
co-writer, and star of this new
motion picture, brings his outrageous antics to the big screen
once again as he plays Gord
Brady, a 28-year-old who dreams
of being an animation artist.
I have to admit this isn't
the greatest movie, but there is
unquestionably no other movie
like this out there. If you've followed Tom Green's work, then
you'd know what to expect from
this madman. However, for those
of you who haven't, let me warn
you that this film will keep you
on your toes due to Green's
sexual and bizarre humor.
When Brady leaves his
hometown of Portland, Oregon
in the attempt of fulfilling his
fantasies in Los Angeles, his
parents couldn't have been more
ecstatic that their son was finally leaving home. As result of
a poor evaluation of his talent,
however, Brady gives up and
runs back home to Portland. His
lack of inspiration causes his
father to try to force him to move
out in order to find a job, but
Brady retaliates by provoking
a father-son feud. With this storyline, "Freddy Got Fingered"
puts a twist on the concept of
father-son relationships as well
as providing the audience with
the moral issue of "not giving
up."
My only issue was that the
movie didn't really make any
sense. "Freddy Got Fingered,"
nevertheless, is a movie that I
recommend and should not be
overlooked, just find someone
to go with and be prepared to
laugh like you've never laughed
before. Tom Green's antics are
definitely worth the money.

o, why is this happening?
What is wrong with us? Do
we, as students, really just not

enough students complain about

students not showing up? Let's
look at the possible reasons:
The off-campus events are
easy to explain. They are not at a

explain it, but most clubs and

TnHcrina bv hp A SIT B H a p t
Judging h y tthe AST R nudget
for Fiscal Year 2000, the student body is paying for a huge
bureaucracy that needs to be
refocused. A large amount of
the budget goes toward employee salaries, an observation that
does not reflect negatively upon
the work of our employees, rather exemplifies a fiscal policy
in need of reform. As an ASI
"shareholder," I would like to
make the following recommendations for next year's budget:
Problem: CSUSM students
do not know how their money
is being spent.
Recommendation :
Videotape the ASI meetings
when the budget is proposed so
that every student can see how
their representatives are allocating their money and how their
representatives voted. Also, post
the budget in the recreation center where all the students can
see it.
Problem: Half the $860,000
budget went toward employee
salaries, benefits, payroll taxes,
and university fees.
Recommendation: Pass legislation restricting that amount
to no more than 35% of the annual budget. Enact a 10-year mora-
t n r i n m o n p mnlnvpp r aises a nd
benefits, retaining the employees we have now but letting
them know that they won't be
getting a raise anytime soon.
Work with the university about
eliminating excessive fees.
Problem: The CSUSM Early
Learning Center gets almost
no support from the university.
Last year, Betsy Gibbs of Cal
Letter to
the Editor
State Fullerton conducted a survey of twenty CSU Child Care
Facilities. Nineteen CSU's contributed an average of $56,000
to their respective childcare programs. According to the survey,
CSUSM was the only school that
did not contribute any money
directly toward its daycare center. Recommendation: Insist that
the administration support our
day care facility and return
that amount to the students.
The "extra" money would,help
offset the $160,000 loss the
4
F a r l v L e a r n i n & C e n t e r e xneri
ences annually.
Problem: Restrict discretionary spending. Example: The
Early Learning Center shows it
spends $1,000 on advertising,
but we never see any advertisements in the campus newspaper. That Money probably went
toward administrative supplies,
but the ASI budget has that category listed with a separate
amount.
Recommendation: Design a
budget that restricts this type of
spending.
Problem: Only $25,000 of
the $860,000 budget (less than
3%) is allocated toward supporting club activities.
Recommendation: Increase
that amount to entice more club
participation.
Finally, as a show of good
faith, the ASI Board of Directors
could vote themselves a 10%
decrease in their scholarships.
They would return the combined
savings of that money (approximately $3,300) to the students.

D rama at t he C omputer L ab
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
As I . walked to my seat in
the open access computer lab in
Academic Hall, I began to realize that in the time it took me
to print a copy of my midterm
project, my computer space had
been invaded by a group of students who were huddled around
the computer next to mine.
At first I didn't think anything of it. I figured that a simple "Excuse me" would do the
trick, and I would have my own
space back. As I approached the
pack of bodies clustered around
my station, I noticed that not
only did I no longer have a chair,
but the mouse and keyboard of
my computer were practically
buried under a pile of backpacks and binders. One of these
backpacks happened to be conveniently placed on the right
hand side of the keyboard so that
my midterm project was now
concluded with seven pages of
2's 3's and 6's.
Naturally I assumed that the
whole situation was an accident,
and that these invaders would
certainly understand my position when I asked them to move
their belongings and their bodies
out of my space. Once I shouted
over them to get their attention,
I got a response, but not exactly
what I expected.
When I asked them to please
move their stuff and relinquish
my chair, they looked at me
like I was an idiot. I received no
apology, and I was looked upon
as if I was the one causing a
problem. The "chair t hief' actually asked me to find him another seat. I thought to myself,
"Remain calm. Some people just
can't help being stupid."
Not once did I raise my
voice, nor did I make a scene,
although I had every right to.
Instead I spoke politely and maintained my composure so that I
did not "sink to
their level," so
to speak.
After a
short deliberation, I got my
chair back, but
now the mound
of backpacks
that was originally on top of
my keyboard was piled on the
floor at my feet. So there I sat,
sidesaddle in my chair trying
to create a reference page for
my project, while the swarm of
students carried on at a noise
level that made it impossible to
concentrate on anything.
I am not quite sure what they
were doing on the computer, but
they were glued to the screen
like a group of eight-year-old
boys looking at a dirty magazine. Who knows, but perhaps
I was interrupting some type
of substantial bonding moment
for these individuals. Maybe
they were just blatantly rude.
Whatever the case, I was amazed
at the lack of respect for others
that they exhibited.
I realize this particular lab is
not designated a "quiet" lab, and
that these students had as much
of a right to be there as I did.
What they do not have, however,
is the right to disrupt others who
are minding their own business,
working intently on important
school projects.
We are all here to learn the
skills necessary to succeed in
life, yet some
of us seem to
lack the basic
"people skills
needed to
interact with
others on
campus. Like
it or not, we
all have to work together here,
so how about brushing up on
your common courtesy guidelines. We all will benefit.
My intent in sharing this
episode is not to point a finger at
anyone in particular, but instead
it is to open someone's eyes to
their irrational behavior. I hold
no grudges, nor do I seek any
type of revenge for the actions
of these students. My only hope
is that these, individuals now
realize how their actions affect
others, and that perhaps they
will begin to show respect and
courtesy towards their fellow
students.
"Some people
just can't help
being stupid."

was competing at Point Lorna

Nibblett, Felisha Mariscal and
"Luci Downey competed in the
800-meter relay. Wilborn passed
the baton to Niblett who had
been sick the night before and
had a fever that morning. Nibblett gave the baton to Mariscal,
who, with no time to lose, ran
an excellent race, handing the
baton to Downey, a 400-meter
runner with no experience in
the 800-meter. Downey ran the
800-meter in 2:22. Overall, the
women ran a time of 9:33.2
(qualifying mark 9:40).
"This was our last opportunity to reach the qualifying
times, and although I thought
we were not going to make the
qualifying mark, we crushed it,"
said Coach Scott: The women's
4x800 relay team said they were
very surprised and happy with
their performances and that they
reached their personal best. "It
was very exciting for all of us,"
said Wilborn.
The men's 1,500-meter featured Marcus Chandler (4:01.3)
and Mike Manzano (4:02.8),
who took first and second place,
and Mike Shannon who came
in fourth place (4:06.2). In the
3,000-meter steeplechase, Brian

With the season half over, the
track team is in full stride. On
April 14 the team split up in order
to take part in two separate track
meets. The UCSD Collegiate
Invitational and Azusa Pacific's
Meet of Champions both proved
to be highly competitive.
Among CSUSM's many performers, Denaye Lakotich soared
to an all time best height of
9'10.50 in the pole vault.
Lakotich later ran the 400-meter
(1:02.47) giving her sixth place.
Luci Downey ran the 400-meter
with a time of 57.83 seconds giving her a NAIA national qualifying time. An outstanding second

The CSUSM College
Republicans welcomed
California State Senator
Dennis Hollingsworth to
campus- last Thursday in
order to discuss the state's
current budget deficit and
some possible solutions.
Hollingsworth, a Republican
who is in his first term of
office, represents the 36
district, an area that spans
from Temecula to El Cajon.
An audience of 15 to 20
club members listened to
Hollingsworth's speech,
which touched on how the
budget will affect CSUSM
and how California found
itself in this position on the
fourth floor of Academic
Hall on Thursday afternoon.
He also explained the plans
that Republicans have for
fixing the current budget
situation.

Nominations for the
Harry E. Brakebill Award
Outstanding Professor
Award are due by this
Thursday, May 1. This
award is named after a
founding member of the
Cal State San Marcos
foundation board and
former CSU executive
vice chancellor, Harry
E. Brakebill. The award
has been handed out
since 1993, and has
replaced the outstanding
professor award. Eight
professors have been
nominated so far this
year.
The award is given
every October to a
faculty member who
has made exceptional
contributions to their
students, discipline,
and community. The
teacher's record as an
educator is considered
above anything else,
but the creative quality
of their teaching, their
service to the campus and
outside communities,
and the quality of their
outside research is also
taken into consideration.
Typically, around 11
professors compete for
the award. The nominees
will spend the summer
compiling a dossier,
which is reviewed by
the selection committee
before a winner is
announced in October.

says that once a program, which
increases the faculty's workload,
is established, the administration
would be reluctant to have it discontinued.
Diehr explained that changing
courses from three units to four
would decrease the number of
classes required for some degrees,
but it does not decrease the total
number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units
would come from the elimination
of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine
UDGE units would shift to the
major courses.
Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already
has four unit classes, so there is
some question as to which colleges

that each department would make
their own decisions and adjust
its curriculum so courses would
retain their value. *He repeated that
increasing classes to four units
and eliminating the UDGE were
just suggestions, and that unless
proposed by the task force, they
are only topics for discussion.
Montanari added, "Since this is
an academic institution, most of
the things to make it distinctive
have to do with education," and
the "changes could be pedagogical
and not necessarily have to involve
increasing units or changing content." ~
Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs

They also should help the

the letters of support they
need, as it can be awkward
for the nominee to solicit
these on their own.
Occasionally, a teacher
decides not to participate,
due to the amount of work
involved in compiling
a dossier. The dossier,
due by the first week of
September, is the only thing
the selection committee

its selection. It contains
the nomination letter, a
statement of the nominees'
teaching philosophy, their
curriculum, letters of
support from colleagues
and students, and evidence
of their contributions as
educators, professionals,
and members of the
community.
The selection committee
was chosen through
election in the academic
senate this spring and is
composed of one teacher
from each CSUSM college,
one part-time professor,
one former winner of
the Brakebill award, one
librarian, one student
representative from ASI,
and one administrator. The
members of the committee
are not allowed to nominate
anyone. They review the
dossiers and make their
recommendation to the
president, who announces
the winner to the campus
community during the first
week of October.
The university provides
funds to award the winner.

made up of 15 Republicans
and 25 Democrats. In order
for a bill to pass, these
proposals need the support,
of 27 senators. In the
assembly, which is made
up of 32 Republicans and
48 democrats, 57 votes are
required to pass a bill.
After
his
speech, the senator opened
the floor to questions. The
questions ranged in subject
from the Indian gaming
revenue "to the idea that
Davis' re-election platform
was based on a surplus that
was later proven to not exist,
and the effect of President
George W. Bush's tax cuts
30-minute on California.
Hollingsworth explained
that federal laws prohibits
the taxation of tribes without
their consent, and that the
tribes could not produce
the 1.5 million dollars that
Davis attributed to the
Indian gaming revenue.
Hollingsworth also said,
"Davis went into office in
1999 with a record surplus
and has turned it into a
record deficit." He clarified
that Davis did not claim
to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that
the state has had a surplus
while he has been governor.
Finally, Hollingsworth said,
when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would
have to follow the same
movement and commented,
"People will avoid tax
increases, [and] a tax cut will
generate jobs and spending
revenues."

�American Idol or America's Most inWanted
connection with a bar fight in
By GERALD JONES
Pride Staff Writer
And then there were eight,
after American Idol finalist
Corey Clark was kicked off the
shoW Monday, March 31. Clark
is allegedly being accused of
attacking his 15 year old sister in
October 2002 and resisting arrest.
When producers learned of his
misdemeanor charge of battery
and resisting arrest they made
the decision to remove him from
the show. The 22 year old Kansas
native, "withheld information
about a prior arrest, which had it
been known, might have affected
his participation in the show,"
Fox stated. "The producers and
the network feel that Corey's
behavior warrants his disqualification."
The news was leaked to the
press by a website called "The
Smoking Gun," which stated
that Clark was facing trial April
15, 2003 for assault and resisting
arrest. The smoking gun website
also released the not-so-pretty
mug shots of American Idol final-
ist Trenyce who was arrested in
1999 for theft charges. However,
Trenyce revealed her past charges
with the producers of the show so
it was not a big shock when the
photos were released.
Each one of the finalists goes
through an in-depth background
check in order to alleviate this
type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to
disclose everything about their
past - good or bad. Clark slipped
through the cracks because of a
typo. The police report that was
filed had misspelled his name,
so when American Idol did the
background check, nothing was
discovered about his pending
charges.
Clark is the third contestant
to be removed from the show.

Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis
M to the masses through t
hat eing
By JAMAL SCARLETT
Pride Staff Writer
Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning
of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my,
rock and roll will never die! There is more to the
picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly
in the ears of our world, considering that many find
their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is
hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or
hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our
social condition has had an undeniable effect on the
way we live today.
However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics
that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out?
When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent
behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct
laws in place and think we have done everything in our
power?
Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up
to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and
rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes
from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in
many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk.
Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this
concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young
listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a
Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when
you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into
their subconscious what we want to say."
medium gives witness to why much of everything is
falling apart. The social construction of the family,
our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning...
where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen
violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the
United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen
pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried
cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase
in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among
teens.
With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical
content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and
practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly
because they are created for you^h and for the appetites
of youth. They are produced with the most advanced
technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current
motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools,
parents and police.
The events at Columbine High School are a great
example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners.
Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening
fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described
going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song,
"Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows:
"You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill
I hurt you and you cry out loud
Now you're afraid and I'm ready
My black blood soils your dress
I'm getting more and more excited by your screams
.. .hails into my sick brain
now you're afraid and now I'm ready!
My sick being screams for redemption
Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold
There's no god in my heaven!"
This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the
medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like
the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the
mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus
is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a
medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money,
power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect
on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical
setting.

Nevertheless, if we disregard the lyrical captivation
by the music industry, we appear to be left with the
irrefutable fact that such language in music allows us
to be increasingly primitive, fragmented, and largely
aimed at invoking a visceral response. Plato once
wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they,
the people, deceived themselves into thinking that
there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be
judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of
lawbreaking!"

�Protestors DO Support Their Troops
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
Since the
Bush
administration began to
work toward a war in Iraq,
there have been numerous
protests against the war.
The protestors have claimed
that peace is the route to be
taken. They have done this
a variety of ways including
the traditional peace walks
and demOTistrations but also
through emailing Congress
representatives
and
spreading the word about
peace through concerts,
flyers and emails. Many of
these actions have stressed
supporting peace. However,
protestors have constantly
been stereotyped as hating
America and being against
the troops.
Each protestor has his
or her own motivation for
wanting peace and many
have other interests, such as
being active in other groups
that are not necessarily
peace motivated. Some may
not like America and may
not support the troops. But a
large majority of protestors,
especially in San Diego,
do not share that opinion.
The protestors believe that
peace is the best possible
way to support the troops,
but those who are pro war
believe that the protestors
are against the troops.
We all have friends and
family who are serving
and many us know of
someone fighting in Iraq.
Claiming that protestors do
not support the military is
ignorance. *
America is privileged
because it is protected by
an armed force that consists
of volunteers, not draftees.
Therefore our troops
have chosen Jto protect
our nation. Protestors
understand that, and they
also support a country that
does not invoke a draft. It
is also understood that a

It also should be published in Alternet.org,
author David Lynch writes,
"Both pro- and anti-war
activists seem to agree
that we need to support our
soldiers. However, the two
sides disagree on the best
way to do it." It is unfair for
the protestors to accuse the
administration and pro-war
activists of false behaviors
and actions and it is equally
wrong to accuse protestors
of not supporting their
troops.
Protesting the war does
not equate hating this
country. A large number of
protestors realize that this
country enables them to
protest. Protesting the war
also does not equate a lack
of support for the troops.

I have had a huge
lesson in humility and
introspection over the past
few weeks. Also, with Earth
Day having just passed, I
have been thinking about
a way in which I can help

health of the environment.
I have been using the public

emergence of fraternities,
sororities, clubs, and now
with the completion of
the new student housing,
it is obvious that CSUSM
is blossoming into a
prepubescent social being.
CSUSM is slowly straying
away from being classified
as a commuter school, and
is taking its place along
side other established
schools. Through this
metamorphosis, I feel that
there needs to be changes
that cater to the desires of
the student body, and not
solely to the infrastructure
of the institution.
Many students are
likely to argue that a pub
would not foster a positive
tradition, nor promote a
hçalthy social environment.
For some, a negative
impression that a pub may
make on the community,
is of concern, while others
simply just don't want a
pub. It would be ignorant
for me not to take these
opinions into consideration,
but ultimately, I would have
to argue that I see it quite
differently.
Growing up in Canada,
for the better half of nineteen
years, it is remarkable to
me that alcohol provokes

pubs and restaurants are
great places that promote a
wonderful degree of student
and faculty interaction.
Quite often these pubs are
historic, and are home to the
traditions of the school. In
direct contrast, CSUSM has
The Dome - a fairly stark
haven for weary students
that serves mediocre food
and supplies a miniscule
level of comfort.
I have a lot of pride in
being a student here at
CSUSM, and I believe that
this is a great school with
great potential. However,
even with the incredible
expensive. Right now, I
think it's safe to say that the
average price of gasoline
is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the
lowest fevel you can put
into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking
at paying about $24 to fill
it up. For all of you SUV
owners out there, you are
going to be paying more like
$60 for a 30-gallon tank.
Now, I am not knocking
SUV's because I think
they are really hot looking
rides but that HAS to hurt
when you pull out that hard
earned cash or credit card
that has you paying more
interest than the actual gas.
Also, you have to take
into account that driving
without insurance is against
the law. For all you guys
out there who have to pay
more simply because of
growth rate of this school,
I feel that there is a certain
level of apprehension
to move forward, and a
sheltering of the student
body. At 23 years Qf age,
I am not looking to be
sheltered or made aware
of the dangers of drinking
by the school. I understand
that the school is committed
to helping students make
healthy choices, and does
not want to promote alcohol
abuse to its students.
In a previous interview,
Jonathan Poullard made it
explicitly clear that revenue
from a pub would not aid
in the lowering of tuition,
parking fees, or book prices.
However, I feel that is not
unreasonable to suggest that

of a future pub could be
built with the intention
that a percentage of the
pub's profit be put toward
the building of a parking
structure, or toward offering
students a larger amount of
money for thek buyback
books. Although it has been
made clear to me that this is
not how financial matters
of CSUSM work currently,
I rebut and say, if the pub
isn't built yet, then why
not make it that way? A
pub would not become a
"cash cow" for the school,
but more so a way for the
school to make money at
the will of students, instead
of in protest.

POSSIBILITY O F
L OSING THE PRIDE
Dear Pride Editors and
Staff:
I am deeply upset about
the possibility of losing
The Pride. It disgusts me
that The Pride is being
oppressed and stifled—and
may even be forced out
of publication—under the
guise of "budget cuts." It
is time we, the students,
start having a voice in the
priorities of Cal State San
Marcos. Imagine, a student
body impacting policy? One
might think I was crazy just
for suggesting it. The sad
reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no
interest in the student body,
except as customers to be
coddled. I am here to get an
education and to be exposed
to ideas and free thinking
^ and a student newspaper
is the very lifeblood of such
a campus-wide exchange of
ideas.
A student newspaper should
be able to operate with
impunity. The concept of a
free press was easy for our
forefathers to understand,
why does the administration feel they have a duty
to impose their narrow
perspective and questionable ideals on the only
outlet for free expression
on this campus? You can't
even post flyers at CSUSM
without approval. I will
stand for such repression no
longer, not when it threatens
a student run newspaper.
So I here pledge to The
Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will
respond to the termination
of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my
power. Should The Pride be
forced out of print, I will
organize a walk-out and/or
a protest on school property,
and I will advertise such
actions and encourage other
students to participate. I will
contact all local news media
and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them
to report on our protest—it
will make a story I am sure
will hold the interest of the
residents of San Marcos
and indeed the San Diego
community at large. I will
write letters to the editors
of all the major newspapers
in the San Diego area. If
such actions fail due to the
summer break, I will reengage them in the fall.
So I say shame on the
administration of CSUSM!
To put it in language they
might understand: this customer is most displeased. I
am displeased that the last
vestige of written communication on this campus
is being bureaucratized to
death. I am displeased that
the administration considers I came to this school eager
The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning-
ful way. It is a shame I may
be forced to create such a
stink over something that
should never be considered
in the first place: ending a
school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of
loyalty to both CSUSM and
my fellow students, and it
is for this reason that I am
determined to SAVE THE
PRIDE!
In the end though, I can sleep

udience member Ashley Moses "you

well," commented Kilmartin, "especially
considering that it's a commuter school
and people had to come back in the evening to see it." Commuter school or not,
the mass of people cluttered around the
display of cookies, brownies, and coffee at
the entrance of the theater suggested much
appreciation and engagement with the subject. "It was a very responsive audience,"
said Kilmartin.
Although the majority of the audience
seemed overly joyful and accepting of
Kilmartin's performance, he warns that this
is not always the case. People "sometimes
say it's male bashing and disrespectful to
them," but to such comments Kilmartin's
general response is "I don't want to take

Overall, the evening was a success.
Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the
fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all
day, I felt very energized by the audience."
The constant uproar of laughter and utter
hysteria on the audience's part suggested
that they felt the same about Kilmartin's
performance. Heads shook in personal
testament and hands covered blushing
cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition
of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his
point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it
was later in the evening," said Moses, "but

At the Thursday, March 9,2000 premiere of the Meeting Grace concert house
in Golden Hills, forty fans enjoyed coffee and homemade desserts while they
listened to the music of Dead Rock West, Berkley Hart (last year's winner of
the New Folk Songwriter Competition in Texas), and Gregory Page. Softly lit
candles scattered throughout the room provided ample light. Chairs gently set on
the woodenfloorsprovided a perfect view to the corner of the room that was set
aside as the stage. Atfirsttensionfilledthe room because, for many, a concert in
someone's home was a new experience. Lizzie Wann, creator of Meeting Grace
and owner of the home, warmly welcomed the guests.
Laughter f rom the
audience was common
throughout the evening;
Angelou states that her
"poetry is actually touching people and making a
difference."
She told a touching
story about her son having
surgery after going into
organ failure. Angelou
received a call from her
son after visiting him in
the hospital. He asked her
to read "Recovery," which
Angelou often read to her
son when he was a child,
and that she in turn read
for the audience. When she
finished reading it to her
son over the phone, he told
her she "forgot a verse,"
so they recited the poem
together. When they f inished, her son thanked her
because he had j ust had
190 stitches taken out as
they recited the poem
together.
Angelou 'ended the
evening with a poem about
women being phenomenal.
Again she made the audience laugh as she gave a
short rant on how wonderful women are, "not to discount that men are phenomenal, but you men have
to write your own poem."
Angelou gave a dignified bow as she left the
stage and carefully walked
off the steps of the stage.
The audience gave her a
standing ovation and an
audience member said, "I
wish this was a concert so
she would come back for
an encore."
On the Meeting Grace T-shirts, Lizzie Wann quotes Woodie Guthrie, an
infamous folk singer, to try and explain the reason for house concerts. Guthrie
says, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your
work. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars
every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that
knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and
the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long
time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio
waves... are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as
that anyhow."
Playing a mix of covers and his own works, Gregory Page easily slipped into
the storyteller role as each song unfolded a different part of his musical genius.
With songs like, Jimmy Page's "Going to California," the crowd swayed in time
with the guitar. "Buffalo Hunters," sang with Frank Drennen, was upbeat but the
words stabbed at the heart of our nation's darker history. Page's soft, soulful voice
filled the room with passionate longing—I was mesmerized by its beauty, and yet
imperfection as well.
Afterwards, sipping coffefe and buying Music for Mortals, the new Page cd,
I asked him where he gets his ideas. He said that they don't come often enough
but justfrom"ya know" as he shrugged with the humility of a true artist. As other
writers before me have said, this is one star destined to light up the sky with his
brilliance.
Berkley Hart's songs were primarily country, but their use of a Djembe
(African) drum was beautiful and hit right into my heart. Their final song came
with fair warning to "grab tissues now!" "Barrel of Rain" is the most beautiful
melody about sorrow and despair of true, everlasting love. It touched all of us as
we silently stared in anguish as they played on.
At the beginning of the night, the crowd was able to relax and enjoy the
harmonization of Dead Rock West. Their highlight was a song titled "Lust, Flesh
and Pride/' in the style of Indigo Girls. Wasserman sang the lead in a strong but
timid voice. Themes of love, sex, and all the metaphors in between provided this
song with quite a bit of heart. Dead Rock West are poignant, American folks and
their music follows suit.
Somehow every slight technical mistake made the entire show down to earth.
Lights and smoke and electric everything has become so commonplace that to be
able to sit down with a small crowd and just relax to some quiet acoustic music
refreshed my spirit. In between songs, the banter between musicians was light and
easy going butfilledwith enough dry humor that the crowd roared with laughter.
Another fan, David Randle stated, "I am going to be telling everyone I know
about your wonderful venue. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and generous
spirit to do all of this for the music community."
Meeting Grace will continually run concerts every six weeks. Eve Selis
performs next on April 27th. Tickets are ten dollars and include coffee and dessert.
If great music in a relaxing atmosphere is your idea of a great night, you can
contact Lizzie Wann for tickets.

B itch-Bitch-Bitch
J. Jirard Patmon
Bitchers of CSUSM unite! It is time my fellow bitch-o-holics
to join together in dysfunctional solidarity. Let us be one with the
spirit of the bitch. We bitch therefore we are!
We endure 78 east from San Marcos Blvd to Nordhal, we
have suffered through the 15 south connector and the 78, we
are chastened by the 15 north and the 78 west connector in the
mornings, tormented by the "triangle", browbeaten on the way to
the airport during any holiday, assaulted by poor parking spaces
everywhere but specifically at CSUSM, incensed by the Dome
food, outraged by textbook prices, flabbergasted by long lines,
shocked and appalled with bad haircuts, enraged by dirty dishes
in the sink, disgruntled with unresponsive lovers, bewildered by
lack of monetary stability, hateful of Republicans and Democrats,
shell-shocked about gas prices, pissed off about promptness of
food and beverage delivery at eating establishments. We bitch
about how much we bitch, how slow the Internet is moving, about
apathetic students, apathetic professors, apathetic administrators,
walking up stairs, library services, proposition you name it!
I am a Jedi knight of bitching, I have trained diligently, spent
hours upon hours practicing with one of the most prolific bitchers
known to man; my mother. I am primed, tuned and ready to bitch.
So when I read fellow bitchers' comments about the Cashiers
Office I came to the stark realization; bitchers of today are bitching
just to bitch.
My fellow bitcher, do you think Paula Cameron, Tanya
Calienta, Teressa Romero and Alma McFarland have anything
to do with the price of parking pennits, YOUR late fee or any
other frivolous bitch? These individuals are respectful, efficient,
and friendly, considering they deal with you on a daily basis. I
wonder how much bitching you or your bitching cohort would
do if you worked on this campus and had to deal with asinine
UNINFORMED bitchers like yourself? So as you BITCH about
the Cashiers office ask yourself these questions: are you involved
with voting in all arenas: School, Local, State, Federal? Also ask
yourself: what are you doing to change things? Or are you running
your mouth and needlessly wasting air just to hear yourself bitch?
My suggestion to anyone who has any great ideas how to run a
department at CSUSM, go work or intern there and see if your
attitude doesn't change. Some things suck in life: traffic, lovers,
gas prices etc... These things can be dealt with on a more positive
note. Plus I am sick of hearing you bitch and I am sick of tolerating
my own bitching because no one wants to hear it.

�Riane Eisler
Shares Partnership
Perspectives
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Dr. Riane Eisler gazed out at
a mostly female audience and
expressed her amazement that she
was there at all. Just a few hundred
years ago, the author, her books,
and the audience all would have
been burned for even considering her
ideas. Although things have changed
considerably, she said, our society
is still modeled on a "dominator
model," one in which everything is
based on "superiority or inferiority,
controlling or being controlled/'
Dr. Eisler, a noted author,
speaker, and cultural historian, presented "Our Story: The World From a
Partnership Perspective" at CSUSM
on Thursday* March 23 as part of
Women's Herstory Month.
The author of Sacred Pleasures
and The Chalice and the Blade
shared observations based on three
decades of "reexamining our past,
our present, and the possibility for
our future."
We dismiss earlier, equitable
societies as primitive, she said, and
insist on applying the dominator
model to everything else. "Ifit wasn't
patriarchy it must be matriarchy,"
she said. "Aren't these just two sides
of the same dominator model?"
. Eisler challenged the audience
to question entrenched belief systems and use "caring, creativity, and

that "other constructs, such as communism and capitalism, or left and
right, have less meaning."
Eisler founded the Center for
Partnership Studies (CPS) to promote "a way of life based on harmony with nature, nonviolence, and
gender, racial, and economic equity,"
according to the CPS web site, at
www.partnershipwav.org.
The Partnership Center supports
a new model for education based
on the partnership model, one that
teaches about "caring for life, caring

Could the
Internet be
the Solution
for Student
Housing?
By: Angela Oesterle
Pride Staff Writer
"Where are they going to
go?" This seems to be the first
question students ask when they
are told that CSUSM will no longer offer housing as of June 2001.
Interim Director of Student and
Residential Life, Sandra Punch,
tells students to wait for the "big
package" housing has in store for
2003.
With construction of the
apartment-style dorms anticipated
to break ground in fall 2001, Student Housing and Residential Life
(SRL) is looking more towards
the future rather than focusing on
the current impact of the elimination of student housing. The
dorms are expected to include
400+ beds and will be available
for CSUSM students in Fall 2003,
but the CSU Trustees must first
approve the plan.
Punch is working to establish a housing program with such
people as Russ Decker, Director
of Design and Construction;
Susan Mitchell, Senior Director
of Health, Counseling, and
Disability Services; Jonathan
Poullard, Dean of Students,
Francine Martinez, VP of Student
Affairs; and others.
Although there will be no
school-sponsored housing, Punch
believes alternatives, such as
seeking housing centers via the
Internet, will benefit students.
"What we are really doing right
now is upgrading our web site,"
said Punch, "We are actually visiting a dozen apartment complexes in the area, from Escondido to
Vista and places in Carlsbad...\ye
will be doing virtual tours of
those [apartment complexes] ."
According to Punch, the
remodeled web site "will provide
an online web-based listing service, for apartment complexes
and individuals to list."

students and faculty about the

Rip-off of Past Horror Films
Hannibal Returns After Ten Years
By: Nathan Jovin
Pride Staff Writer Not since the heyday of classic thrillers such as Friday the 13th
and A Nightmare on Elm Street
has a movie with so much gore
packed crowds into theaters, as
Hannibal has seemed to do on its
opening weekend. It is hardly fair,
however, to assume that with gore
comes a bad story, bad acting, and
bad direction. Hannibal proves
quite the contrary to all these.
This sequel to Silence of the
Lambs brings everyone's favorite
cannibal back into the spotlight.
After living a life of anonymity for
years, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony
Hopkins) starts up with his old
tricks after FBI Special Agent
Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore)

bureaucrats.

Demme, Scott opts for more

Sadly, Hannibal falls short
as a psychological thriller. The
story's good, the acting's good,
and there are a few good scares.
If you read the book, you will
definitely be disappointed by
the ending, which was completely changed from that of
the novel written by Thomas
Harris. Otherwise, it's a good
movie to see with friends, as
long as you don't mind the

Aside from its lewd connotation, Snatch is a unique film written and directed by Guy Ritchie,
(Madonna's husband). I haven't
seen such an intriguing movie
since The Way of the Gun. Snatch
is a comical, provocative, and
action-packedfilm,a Pulp Fiction
meets Fight Club with a British
twist.
Brad Pitt stars as Mickey, a

character is central to the movie's
humor, as demonstrated by Mickey's unusual and indiscrioin ate
accent, which is leither British nor
Irish, but soo ewhere in-between.
The oo vie also features Benicio Del Toro (Usual Suspects) as
Franky Four Fingers, an o bsessively unsu xessful gambler with
a penchant for snappy apparel.
Other characters include Dennis
Farina as Cousin Avi and Alan
Ford as Brick Top.

Recreational
Fee Really 1
T rack Fee?
By: Tim Farmer
Pride Staff Writer
-
"I didn't know we had to
pay for [the track]," said Martha
Moore, a credential student here
at CSUSM.
Every student must pay a $35
Recreation Fee with their registration dues, but not too many
people know what they are paying for.
When students pick up an
Explanation of Mandatory Fees
sheet from the Cashier's office,
they see the Recreation Fee broken into three different parts.
The first part is the ASI
Recreation Program, a $5 fee for
expenses incurred by Associated
Students, Inc. Second is the
Recreation Fee Provision, a $12
fee for funds set aside to support
one-third of the Financial Aid
requirement. The third part is
the Campus Recreation Program,
which was implemented in spring
2001, an $18 fee to ensure that
debt payments, such as construction costs, maintenance and any
additional projects, are paid in a
timely manner.
When asked about the Recreation Fee Provision, Assistant
Director of Financial Aid, Gerrie
Hatten, said that the Financial
Aid office now sees none of that
fee, but in the past, one third of
any new mandatory fee was put
into a general financial aid pool.
Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice
President of Student Affairs, says
that $30 of the Recreation Fee
goes directly to paying off the
track. When asked about the
Explanation of Mandatory Fees
sheet that was printed this semester, Martinez said, "There must
have been a mistake because
the one-third requirement was
rescinded last spring."
The track itself is a mystery
to many students. "I didn't even
know we could use it. I thought it
was only for the track athletes,"
said Melanie Ostberg, a junior.
CSUSM's%Mangrum Track is
open to students Monday through
Friday from 12pm to 1pm, and
from 5pm to dusk, which is now
around 5:30pm; and Saturdays
from 7am to dusk. The track
is open when it is not being
used by athletes or for previously
scheduled events. The track is
also open to. the public.
"I do feel a little slighted that
the public has access to if as well.
Why, then, are we paying for it
but the public isn't? Anyway, if
it's not something I need, then
why am I paying for it? Also, I
would like to know what I'm paying for," said Ostberg. "I found
out that we could get regular

Santana H igh School Shooting:
Media's Affect on the Students of Santee
By: Tim Farmer
Pride Staff Writer
"Do you guys enjoy making
us kids feel like shit? Why don't
you just leave " said Santana High
freshman David Toombs to a
group of reporters outside of the
Santee Teen Center.
In the wake of the shooting at
Santana High School last Monday,
news reporters from all over the
world have swarmed the Santana
High School campus. Toombs'
statement expressed not only his
feelings, but also the feelings of
a majority of the teenagers in
Santee.
. At the Teen Center many students come in and talk openly
about their emotions. Students
feel safe in the center because
the people that work there have
earned their trust and show their
concern for each student's wel-

fare. When the students talk to
the Teen Center representatives
about reporters, they usually say
the same thing: they hate them.
Most of the reports that are
being broadcast are focusing on
how the students are scared to
go back and why such a frail
kid would start a shooting spree.
Many of the students say the
media is overlooking a huge portion of the emotions felt by all
that were affected. Many of these
teens try to cope with the tragedy
in different ways.
Att the Teen Center, there is
a book that students can write in
so they can work out their emotions. In some poems that were
written in the book, there was
talk about not being able to find
a girlfriend, or how they remember their grandfather's funeral,
or how they always feel alone,
or how they are angry about the
incident.
Dustin Hoft, a 17-year-old
friend of one of the victims, had
his picture taken without his permission, while he was mourning
outside of the school on the day
of the shooting. His picture was
put in The New York Times and
many other newspapers.

In Light of Santana Shooting, San Marcos High "Hit-List" Surfaces
By: Nathan Fields
Pride Feature Editor
Three days after the fatal
shootings at Santana High School,
San Marcos High School Principal Frans Weits released a statement that the school was "adopting a zero-tolerance policy regarding all inappropriate statements
concerning weapons, threats to
do bodily harm to any student
including bullying any student, or
causing disruption of any school
activities."
The statement continued that
any student engaging in such
behavior, or encouraging another
student to do so, would be suspended, pending further investi-
gation, with the possibility
of transfer or expulsion.
The statement was
issued: more than a week
after a San Marcos High
teacher received a handwritten "hit list" written by
a student on Wednesday,
Feb. 28. A student who saw
the list composed seized it
from its author and handed
it to the teacher during
class. The list contained
the names of some of the
author's fellow students that
he possibly would kill if he
had the chance.
Classmates described the
student who created the list

San Marcos High School students wait outside of the counseling office. Most
students that spoke to reporters said they felt confident that nothing such as
the Santana shootings would happen at their school, even after the hit list.

In a meeting Thursday, March
8, "more than words can say," a
famous quote by Cesar Chavez,
motivated students, faculty and
community representatives to
take a big step forward in
planning for the Cesar Chavez
Celebration, scheduled to kick
off March 28, 2001.
"Last year we decided to
do a candlelight vigil to reflect
what Chavez had meant to us.
There was no planning or promotion," said Pedro Anaya Jr., Cesar
Chavez Commemoration Committee Coordinator. "Next thing I
knew, we had a turnout of about
20-3Qof our friends remembering
how and what Chavez stood for.
It was one of the most intimate
experiences I've ever encountered. We decided that we needed
to do this agaiti next year."
Organizations
such
as
MEChA, the Cesar Chavez Commemoration Committee, Community Housing of North County
and the CSUSM Dean of Students office, as well as other volunteers, have planned an array of
activities and exhibits, including
a mariachi band, a film viewing
and panel discussions.
In addition, Assistant Dean of
Students, Tim Bills, affirmed that
efforts are being made to provide students and teachers with
resources and lesson plans for
teaching the life and work of
Chavez. Bills added that a team
of university students would present learning activities to K-12
students at local schools. "I want
to challenge students and our
staff so that by the end of the
celebration we can ask ourselves,
where do we go from here?"

cold feeling only damp feet can
have, all sent me back 20 years to
that irresponsible life I lived as a
kid, just looking for some fun.
Without putting much more
thought into my feelings, since I
was dripping my thoughts away, I
proceeded through the California
deluge (a light sprinkle) and on
to my morning class. Once I was
iri the building and comfortable,
my mind again began to wander
back to the past, looking for the
origin of my rekindled feelings.
They weren't awkward feelings.
It just seemed as if something
was different in my approach
to my morning activities, like a
subtle change over time had gone
unnoticed. The lecture proceeded as normal and my thoughts
returned to day's activities.
The sun began to shine
through the dark skies after class
ended, and as I walked down the
stairs toward the parking area, it
hit me. I looked out upon a sea of
students, and behold: all of them
were jumping over small pools of
water, avoiding what I had lived
to find as a kid: the ever-elusive
rain puddle.
Laughing at the image before
me, I turned in front of University
Hall. The staff at CSUSM was
one step ahead of me. They had
set out cones, illuminating the
perfect course, so I wouldn't miss
one opportunity to puddle jump.
I saw in that one instant the
games of my youth come full
circle, and turn what most would
consider miserable weather into
a day of f un.
So for those of you who say
CSUSM doesn't support enough
sporting events, I introduce you
to the new Intramural Puddle
Jumping Competitions. As the
rainy days persist, don't miss
your opportunity to practice. In
addition to the courses generously marked by bright orange cones,
there are other obscure, more
elusive spots. These areas support all skill levels, from beginner to the long-distance hurdler.
People are always quick to
judge sports and their athletic
worth, but as kids it was always
great when the water accumulated around the neighborhood
and competition was stiff. So
don't pass judgment on a sport
that dates back hundreds of years,
and, although obscured by new
technologies (i.e. levels and
drains), finds a renewed home
here on campus. Although many
of you may try to discredit the
popularity of such a sport, look
around and even at yourself. I
see you all practicing, if not by
a conscious effort, by an instinctual notion—that inner drive for
sport!
Don't be discouraged by the
lack of sports on campus, because
as CSUSM grows, so does the
availability of sports activities.
Look for next year's introduction
of the Stair Climbing Olympics,
and don't t ry . to deny that you're
practicing. I see all of you, huffing and puffing, getting your time
in on those stairs each day. And
just think: if the heads at parking

Deus Ex Machina: The God of the Machine
By: Daniel Huey
Pride Staff Writer
Vending machines are convenient when they work, but can
stress you out when they don't.
As I stood in front of the
vending machine near ACD 126,
it grinned at me, daring me to try
to buy a simple pack of chewing
gum. I fished in my pocket and
sorted through my change until I
pulled out 60 cents. I pushed my
change into the slot. The machine
grinned at me and made clicking
sounds while i t sucked down my
mdney. I fiddled with the buttons
on the front of it and made my
selection. The vending machine
hummed and spewed my pack of
chewing gum onto the louvered
panel.
I thought it would drop
through, but the gum just sat
there, paid for but inaccessible.
The louvered panel only swings
one direction, so someone cannot
reach in and steal any snacks. The
weight of the gum was not sufficient to cause the panel to swing
down.
I wanted that gum, so I
thought about how to get it. I figured if I bought some peanuts that
the weight of the peanuts and the
gum would be enough to flip the
door down and I could get the
gum. I counted out another 75
cents and fed it to the machine.
Again the machine hummed and
pushed my peanuts out, but they
failed to, fall down onto tfys louvered door.

Hit List at San
Marcos High School
»Article cont. from pg. 1
as an intellectual and straight-A
student, who ate lunch alone in an
empty classroom, enjoyed drawing houses and had an obsession
with wolves.
In a press conference on
Thursday, Principal Waits said
that, once apprehended the following day, the student was interviewed by the school's crisis counselor and by sheriff's deputies.
Officials determined that the boy
was not a threat to himself or
others. Weits reported that the
boy had been teased consistently
at San Marcos High and prior to
high school, and was asked to
make the list by another , student
whose name was in the list. The
student was suspended for nearly
a week after writing the list.
High school officials then
waited until Monday of the following week, to inform the parents of the children on the list.
Some parents said they were not
informed until Tuesday, almost
a week after the list surfaced.
Other parents said they were not
notified by the school, and only
learned their children were on
the list when the children called
them from school on Tuesday,
prior to a mediation meeting for
students on the hit list.

him, looking for an interview and more pictures of
him. Hoft continues to
dodge the reporter because
he knows that he'll be asked
questions that bring up
memories he is trying to
move on from. "Not one
reporter that I have heard
interview students says, ' I
feel sorry for what h appened to your friend,' or
'I feel f or you.' They don't

us," said Hoft. "If I ever
catch that reporter when
you guys [teen center s taff]
aren't here, I'm going to
beat his face in."
Walking home f rom
school on Thursday, 18-yearold senior Chris Sweda was
asked questions by a
reporter from a local paper.
Bob Harman, the Director
.of Pupil Personnel, advised that
the list be taken seriously and
said the school will alert parents
immediately if such occurrences
happen in the future. The high
school is sending a letter concerning the incident and zero-tolerance policy home to all parents
this week. "They should make it
be an example that you do not
joke about these things in the
school," said parent Catherine
Ingle. Ingle removed her child,
who was on the list, from the
school. Ingle and others urged
school officials to penalize seriously the student who wrote the
list in order to communicate a
message of zero tolerance.
Weits made it a point to
emphasize that "this sort of
behavior starts in the homes and
we are communicating with parents to insure that they begin
teaching their children respect in
their homes. Certainly we have
to teach respect at school, but it
begins at home."
San Marcos High School
senior, Steve Lukich, said that by
not punishing the student enough,
high school administrators are
almost letting this stuff happen.
"It's pretty weird, with all of these
'shootings going on and stuff, that
a kid who brings a fluorescent
toy, a squirt-gun, to school, gets
immediate suspension for several
days, but someone who makes a
hit list is treated like this."
Sweda was saying how
many students at Santana
pick on him because of his
weight, but said he would
never think of shooting
anyone. Another reporter
nearby rushed over when
he heard Sweda say "picked
on" and "shooting," and
asked Sweda, "Are you feeling angry? Are you going
to try to finish what Andy
started?" Sweda, angered
by the news writer, punched
him and broke his nose, and
Sweda continued to walk
home. He said he felt no
remorse and that everybody
praised him for doing so.
Along Magnolia Avenue,
the street that runs in front
of Santana High, students
gathered on the median
with signs encouraging
passersby to honk their
horns; this was to disrupt
the live interviews by the
Asked if he thought something similar to Santana could
occur at San Marcos, Lukich
replied, "There's maybe a few
potentials and it might, but I'm not
stressed out about it. It's almost
so common now, I mean, in New
York, Pennsylvania,' Twenty-Nine
Palms. And somebody brought a
gun to school in Fallbrook. So
it's happening, but I won't let it
affect my life."
Other students said they felt
that the measures taken by school
officials
were
reactionary.
Dismissing the occurrence,
Rachel Crouthammel, a senior at
San Marcos High said, "They
made something out of nothing."
. San Marcos High School saw
at least 17 suspensions last year
because of physical fighting
between students. Most of these
occurred during a series of racially motivated fights on the campus last May that resulted in 13
suspensions in 10 days. The present hit list shows no relation to
any previous instances of reported conflict.

teach these students that there's

leave. "People are trying
to move on and these guys
are causing a lot of pain to
us," said Nick Lindner, a
16-year-old friend of Hoft
and participant at the Teen
Center. "I didn't really
know the guys that were
killed, but I'm trying to be
here for Dustin and everybody else, but these reporters keep harassing them
and making life miserable
for t hem"
"If one of these reporters would just ask how
we are feeling or at least
act like they care about
us, then maybe we would be
a little more cooperative,"
said Lindner. "The first
thing you asked me today
was how was I doing. The
only difference [between
you and them] is I know
you care."

"I love this school, and I
know I'm supporting the future
of this campus, but I feel that
we have the right to* know what
it is we are paying for," Moore
said describing her feelings about
having to pay the fee.
At this time, there are no restrooms or locker facilities built at
the track. As of July 2001, a $50
student fee will take effect that
will help build the proposed student union/field house scheduled
for completion in 2004.
In the meantime, there is one
portable toilet and one drinking

j l University honors Cesar Chavez
| f l Statue, week-long festival to commemorate labor leader
By Irene Warner
Pride Staff Writer
Cesar Chavez, the renowned labor leader,
dedicated his life and health to honor his dream
of social justice.
Now Cal State San Marcos will dedicate
a statue in his honor. A fter his death in 1993,
students and faculty at CSUSM began a signature campaign to recognize and honor Chavez
by renaming the Academic Hall in his honor.
San Fransisco State University's request to rename its student union building in Chavez's
honor was granted first. The California State
University system prevents two campuses from
naming a building after the same person.
The signature campaign was revived at
Cal State San Marcos to dedicate another part
of the campus to commemorate Chavez's
contributions to-national and state life.
After a competition, two local artists —
T.J. Dixon and James Nelson — were selected and commissioned to design and create a bronze statue of Chavez. The statue
will be unveiled and dedicated on March 31,
1997 from 11 a .m.to 1:30 p.m. Local dignitaries, university officials, and members of
Chavez's family will be in attendance.
A week-long festival of celebratory
events has been planned beginning March
31 and ending April 4. The winner of a po-
etry and essay contest will read his work during the dedication. Chavez's single-minded
d edication t o t ransform t he l ives of
C alifornia's migrant agricultural workers
touched the hearts and minds of the nation as
well as those of his home state, California.
At the age of 10, a bank foreclosed on his
family's farm, and his life as migrant farm
worker began. When he reached the eighth
grade, he had to leave school to help support
his family. From 1945 to 1948, he served in
the U.S. Navy in the Pacific.
In 1952, he. began his work as a human
rights crusader for social justice in the only

Responding to cloning
By Suzanne ChitwoocL
Pride Staff Writer
Cloning, once only an imaginative
fairy tale, is now a shocking reality. So
what happens when humans gain the
power to clone other humans?
On Feb. 23, Ian Wilmut, a Scottish
scientist, announced his successful cloning of a Finn Dorset sheep.
Once the news about the cloning of
a m onkey b ecame p ublic, P resident
Clinton addressed the nation on television,
stating that the government would not
fund further research on human cloning.
The question now: Can we keep the
human-cloning genie in the bottle? Some
CSUSM professors don't believe that the
United States government can resist the
temptation to experiment.
From the English Department, Pro-
Pride staff writer Pamela Sivula asked students and staff around campus for their opinion
on the ethics of cloning. Here are some of the
responses.
"I think cloning should be allowed. I
w ould l ove t o b e
cloned, especially if I
would live forever —
or if my clone would
live forever. Cloning
shouldn't be regulated
[by the government]. I
w ould w ant t o b e
c loned a t my b est
times, get rid of me,
and keep the clone. I am not aware of how
much it would cost to be cloned. But if there
is any advantage, you have to make it available to everybody, regardless of what their
economic status is."

What does searching the grass f or red and
green toothpicks have to d o with science?
Students in the teaching credential program
are designing activities that involve elementary
s chool s tudents with s cience and f amiliarize
themselves with materials b efore they discover
how those objects relate to s cientific concepts.
The activity allows students to be active first,
to do somethiqg hands-on, without first having
t o be passive and listen to the teacher explain
concepts.
A fter discovering on their own t hat the red
toothpicks are easier to find, elementary school
students learn about c amouflage in nature. Credential candidates in the Science Education in
the Elementary School course design such activities t o get e lementary-school s tudents i nvolved in science and develop a curiosity about
s cientific concepts.
"The children a re given the hands-on material first so that they can play with it and f amiliarize themselves with it," student Lisa Bennet
explained. " After they have a while to experiment and discover it f or themselves, the teacher
then tells them what it is they are doing, and why
they are doing i t."
In this process, o r learning cycle, elementary-school children build a knowledge of the
materials b efore the cpncepts are explained.
"Learning cycle modes of instruction are in
line with the Science Framework f or C alifornia
Public Schools, and with the National Science
Education S tandards," said L isa Van Veen, another participant in the program.

d iscarded c hewing gum, leaving them
hopelessly glued on a stair or sidewalk.
After studying gum littered areas such
as Craven Hall's stairs and the area in front
of the men's and women's restrooms on the
first floor of the ACD building, the patrol's
finding suggests that most gum chewers
tend to be social in nature, as evidenced by
the many wads of colors discarded in the
same vicinity. It is for this reason that some
of the victims have been attacked by more
than one wad at a time.
For victims of multiple attacks, you
can hear their mournful wailing echoing
f rom the walls of Craven Hall as they
struggle to unglue their shoe. Or you may
notice people emerging from Craven Hall,
w earing o nly o ne s hoe, c lipping and
clopping along, eyes focused on the ground
as they try to avoid any more of the fresh,
juicy pink, gray or black blobs indiscriminately displayed oft the concrete. Observe
carefully and you might see the gummed
shoe held in the owner's hand displaying
the same ugly art.
I t's t acky—people s ticking to the
ground, especially since two custodians
devote almost 15 percent of their work day
scraping gum remains, sweeping up cigarette butts, and wiping up coffee and soda
spills . CSUSM also hires eight students
from Sierra Vista School to help keep our
campus as clean as possible. Supervisors
need to cruise the campus searching for
victims and wad zones. You can almost feel
their frustration because it's a never-ending process.
While students and faculty enjoy semester breaks, the Facilities Department
breaks out the high pressure water equipment and power washes the offending areas as best they can. It's not a commercial—
gum and stains don't all magically disappear—and scraping off old, soggy gum is
yucky.
The Gum Shoe Patrol participants acknowledge that not all gum chewers dispose of their gum improperly. For some,
all it takes is a reminder that the laige, green
containers dotting CSUSM sidewalks are
for trash-—including gum.
Sometimes people just need to realize
that they are guests on CSUSM's campus
and that they have a responsibility to the
school, community and taxpayers to be
good citizens. Be responsible and pick up
after yourself. After all, it is your school,
be proud of it.

The problem is getting Freshmen to come

incoming students through various media including the Student Affairs Council, the Educational Opportunities Program and letters included in the campus orientation package.
According to a pamphlet on the subject
from the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH), students with LD often hear statements like "you seem so intelligent" and "you
don't look handicapped." Such statements typify
pervasive attitudes that make getting help for

Eventfull semester continues
Tony Barton
Last semester was a wild ride for this
campus. And though many of us here may
have expected a downhill slide to normality this semester, we have yet to be delivered such.
I for one was ready for a semester of
recovery from the blatant racist stuff.
But the Fairs drama spilled over into
this semester with racist leaflets strewn
across the parking lot during the audit
from the Chancellor's office, which was
designed specifically to m easure the
university's effectiveness in dealing with
such things. It was a prefect opportunity
for the administration to show its grit, with
eyes from Long Beach alongside.
More graffiti and swastika printed flyers have shown up here and there since
then. I wonder if many even take the time
to notice anymore.
While such blatant acts should not be
ignored, it is time that the campus began
focusing on other topics.
A large bronze statue of Cesar Chavez
will be presented next week in its permanent standing ground atop the stairs from
the new student parking lot. A week-long
celebration will accompany its dedication
— perhaps the campus can rejoice in
what it has achieved for a little while.
W hile r acist e vents of t he p ast f ew
months may have tarnished Cal State San
Marcos' image, such an event demonstrates this campus-community's solidity.
Associated Students Inc. elections,
coming off a horrid voter and candidate
turnout from last year, are set for April
21 and 22. The Pride will be interviewing candidates and detailing a fee increase that will be on the ballot.
The students' interest in improving
this campus will be evident one election
day.
Free dialup internet access may soon
be a thing of the past. Proposals have already been made to begin charging students for use, while further limiting access. Such things may be necessary to
deal with an increasing student population.
And an increased student population
makes classrooms all the plumper.
It is time that this campus puts the
past months behind us. Remember what
has happened and focus on this campus'
future.

�LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
the Pmde. Thuxsday, Munch 27, 1997
Group needs to
drop the Aryan
not, change your name; condemn the actions
of the feebleminded in your group who will
only continue to embarrass you and renounce
your connections with the fascist traditions
of Nazism. When you understand how glorious our history is, perhaps you will think twice
before desecrating it by associating yourselves
with such institutions.
It is not Adolf Hitler and the Aryan Student Union that I look u p to, but Winston
Churchill and the great traditions of the British Empire. I trust that the great majority of
other whites here in the United States and
around the world feel the same way.
We will regard you with scorn and contempt for dishonoring and besmirching the
reputation of this institution if you continue
with your present course of action.
"Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known
better, the silence of the voice ofjustice when
it mattered most that made it possible for evil
to triumph," said Ethiopian Emperor Haile
Selassie before the United Nations General
Assembly, 1963.
Are you prepared to join the ranks of
those cowardlyfiguresin history who just sat
back while evil acts were committed against
the weak and defenseless? Indeed the hottest
places in Hell are reserved for those who
refuse to take sides. We who sit here today
are the beneficiaries of the millions ofAmericans who have fought and died and lived to
make this country what it is. The question
today is: "Where are all of us students at this
university and citizens of this country going
to be when we are asked to step out and say
what we stand for?"
I am writing this letter in response to one
published in 2/27 issue by the president and
vice president of the Aryan Student Union. In
it, they expressed concern that: "While nonAryan persons have been allowed to show
pride and solidarity on issues affecting their
race and culture, we are excluded from all
forms of expression on our campus and were
even smeared openly."
The letter said that they were forced to
"use illegal symbolisms to redress their grievances" due to their inhibited expression,
though the group's leadership "did not condone the acts of those who might be connected
to us."
The president and vice president of the
Aryan Student Union have missed the point
entirely. While they are proud of their "white
heritage," they congregate under a name
which conjures the images ofAdolf Hitler and
the Nazi Third Reich. Is it any wonder why
they are not given the opportunity to participate in educated and professional discourse?
Does the Asian Student Association identify with the imperialist Japanese government
that slaughtered thousands of Americans at
Pearl Harbor? Does the Mexican-American
Student Alliance celebrate the Spanish conquerors who destroyed civilizations in Central-America? Of course not. They focus only
on the positive contributions their groups have
made in years since. And they should be recognized, as this is what diversity is all about.

into every laboratory in
Lyuda Litvinets
the country. I think [the
Junior, Business
cloning of humans] is
not a good idea, but I
don't think it's going to
be able to be stopped."
Garcia also commented that she "can' t
see any benefit to cloning humans at this
point in time."
On the opposite end of the spectrum
is Professor Durig, a sociologist strongly
opposed to the idea. "Who is in charge, who
decides right from wrong?" Durig expressed his fear at the possibility of human
cloning. "It is scary when people in power
create the functions for everyone else in
society."
Durig asked "Why do it? Who is it
going to serve?"
Durig touched on the possibility of a
creation of a dominant race. Who could
stop those in power from creating more like
them?
The idea of cloning and its impact on
humankind will not be fully understood
until it becomes a part of histoiy.
"I am against cloning. Animals should
have a right to breed on their own and like
they naturally would. If they do not breed
[naturally], they could
be artificially inseminated. Cloning would
be taking away their
individualism, and animals are individuals.
[And if they pursue
cloning humans,] doctors are going where
they shouldn't be going They are playing God and will end up
with everyone looking and acting the
same.
"As far as humans go, I don't think
[cloning] is an ethical way to go because
you run into all kinds
of issues: Why would
you want to clone humans? What do you do
with the extra, or the
second, person? What
rights do they have?"
I think cloning is kind of scary. It
doesn't bother me with animals. But if
someone tries to use
this [technology] for
cloning human beings,
that would be scary."

takes
paid job he ever held with the
Community Service Organization, a b arrio s elf-help
group, spearheading other registration campaigns, and battling social and economic discrimination against Chicano
residents. He organized CSO
chapters throughout California and Arizona. His dream
was to create an organization
for farm workers. When he
could not convince the CSO
to organize farm workers, he
gave up his first full-time paid
job to devote all of his efforts
to building a nucleus of farm
workers.
In 1962, he founded the
National Farm Workers Association in Delano. His followers engaged a course of nonviolent protest following the
teachings of Gandhi and Dr.
Martin Luther King to make
its influence felt.
In 1991, he received the
AguilaAzteca, Mexico's highest award presented to people
of Mexican heritage who have
made major contributions outside of Mexico. On August 8,
1994, Cesar became the second Mexican-American to receive the Medal of Freedom,
the highest civilian honor in
the United States.

which is treated as a medical problem under CSU policy.
Such cases arereferredto Student Health Services, which recommends accomodations for them.
Segoria has drawn attention to the
lack of national or even state-wide standards as a major issue in the effort to help
students with LD.
"You can go to and CSU, UC or other
public California campus and your LD status will be probably berecognized,"he
said 4<Do not expect the same rules at USD
or USC or Loyola "If you move out of
state, expect to start all over again."
