fee increases to CSU

give students an initiative to graduate and make
space for those who need

response to an SQE survey taken by thousands of

When asked his view
on the increases as a

stated, "I do not sup-:

student myself or as a
student representative

same time, I recognize
the need to preserve

I share the views of
the California State

on the right strategy to
approach this Jssue—
including presenting other

As for Chancellor White,
he sent a clear signal of
the need for a new dialogue on rebuilding higher
education. I believe his
decision demonstrated the
type of steward he will be
of our system's resources.
The trustees selected him
because he is the ideal
candidate to represent the
CSU (students, faculty
and staff). He is the product of the California Master Plan for Higher Education and a first-generation
college student from a migrant family. Chancellor
White's deep connection
to the university community clearly influences his
leadership.

next four years. He seeks
to make getting a college
education more affordable, tuition cut in half by
2022, and to make America the country with the
most college graduates in
the world by 2020.
One of the ways that
Obama has worked to
achieve this is by making large investments in
Pell Grants, something
that has a huge impact
on college students. Pell
Grants, which is federal
student aid that does not
need to be repaid by the
student it is awarded to,
lead to more opportunities for students to afford
college. Since scholarship
and financial aid funds
are limited, increasing the
amount of funding given
to students gives more of
them an opportunity to afford school long enough
to get their degrees. By
getting more students
graduating from college
and educating more of
the nation's youth, this
ensures that the next gen-
eration of workers will be
qualified for better jobs,
which also boosts the nation's economy by getting
more people to work. *
Regardless of students'
political affiliations, President Obama's policies
will have a huge effect on
their lives for the next four
years, and it is extremely
important that they stay
informed on what changes
or stays the same during
his time in office.

"Despite the passage of
Proposition 30, there-remain grave economic issues to solve in California
and the California State
University. The success
of the measure was the

taxpayers of California to
start to reinvest in education. I also recognize that
Californians expect me
to properly steward these
resources. Consequently,
as I join the faculty, staff
and students who have
experienced cuts, salary freezes and increased
fees, I, too, must do my
part. This is the basis of

CSUSM enacts t emporar y r estrictio n on unit enrollment
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
G o-A& E EDITOR
I n an effort to allow
every student to register
for the appropriate classes
and due to an increased
demand for enrollment,
CSUSM is implementing
a new "first pass" unit cap.
With the spring 2013 semester's priority registration opening Nov. 15 and
running through Dec. 7,
students will only be able
to register for a max of 13
units and be waitlisted for
no more than 8. Although
CSUSM Views students
taking 6.1 or more units as
full time, the 13 unit cap
was put in place to allow
students to carry at least
the 12 required units for
financial aid purposes.
"CSUSM is sometimes
referred to as a 'hot campus' now, so we had to
enact a restriction to allow everyone to have an
opportunity to sign up
for classes. Although we
have been seeing that the
average of units per student has been 12.3. We are
hoping this helps the 'bottlenecks' that occur during
class registration," Associate Vice President For
Planning and Academic
Resources, Dr. Graham
Oberem said.
« gg¡. s s a

According to a studentwide email from the Office of the Registar, the 13
registered and 8 waitlisted
"first pass"unit cap will be
lifted on Dec .17, allowing
students to then register
for.up to 17 units.
CSUSM is not the only
CSU campus that has
made this restriction this ,
semester. CSU Northridge
(CSUN) and CSU Long
Beach (CSULB) have also
enacted this restriction to
help curb the overflow
of student sign-ups. Both
CSUN and CSULB actually lowered their restrictions to 16 units.
In regards to the class
limit, not all students are
opposed to the new "first
pass" process put in place.
"I like it. I think it's good
because then everyone
gets their classes," student
Chelsea Power said.
According to Dr. Oberem, the only exceptions
that can be made are for
spring 2013 graduating
students, veterans and
military students who require it.
"I got to petition the unit
cap because I am a graduating senior, it didn't affect my spring schedule
after all," senior Amanda
Peace said.

BY CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF W RITE R
The holiday season has
arrived, the time of the
year filled with endless
obstacles to healthy eating. Whether it's the abundance of Christmas parties
to attend or the never-ending baking of pies, cookies and cakes, temptation
during the holidays is inevitable.
The following are ways
to avoid overeating during
the holiday season.
-Extra time: during the
holidays, we tend to have
more free time, especially
students. Although this
time is a "break," plan to
utilize the extra time each
day to participate in some
kind of healthy activity.
Utilize this as an incentive
program—the more calories you burn, the more
you can consume without
negative repercussions.
-Portion sizes: turkey,
mashed potatoes, stuffing,
cranberry sauce, pies, etc.
The list goes on. You do
not need to create a mas-
terpiece by seeing
how much food
each plate can
fit. Instead, try
limiting, portion sizes to the,
size of your fist
or smaller. In addition, as you inevitably make your way
back to the line for your
third and fourth servings,
make a point tg take less
each time.
-Alcohol
consumption: the more you can
limit your consumption
of alcohol during the holidays, the better. Not only
is alcohol empty calories,
greater consumption will
cause you to eat more
and be hungry for longer,
a combination for uncontrollable caloric consumption.
-Moderation: just because your grandma
makes a pumpkin pie todie-for does not mean
you need to eat the entire
thing. Focus on limiting
yourself and the amount
of each food that you consume. As goes with por-
tion sizes, try just to eat
enough. Yes, there may be
4 deserts offered, but this
does not mean you have
to eat every one of them.
Leave the table feeling
satisfied, not stuffed.
During one holiday season, overeating and the
resulting weight gain will
not hurt you; however,
cumulatively it adds up
over the years and will increase the risks of obesity.
Making and sticking to a
plan this holiday season
will provide you with a
template to follow for the
rest of your life to combat
overeating during the holidays and the risks associated with it.

C SUS M basketball downs Biola 85-78 and Vanguard 85-69
BY ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM men's basketball team hosted their
first home game of the
season with a bang on
Wednesday Nov. 14, when
they took on BIOLA University in front a strong
Cougar fan base at Mira
Costa College.
The No. 20 ranked Cougars looked to improve and
keep their two-game winning streak alive against
the No. 13 BIOLA Eagles,
who entered the night's
contest undefeated. The
Cougars got off to a blazing start opening the game
to a 15 point lead over the
Eagles. BIOLA wouldn't
fold easily to the CSUSM
offensive onslaught as
the Ragles fought back to
erase the early deficit and
bring themselves within
four points late into the
first half.
With the half coming to a
close, the Cougars opened
up the lead again, thanks
largely in part to Jose Rivera, who hit a team high
four three-point shots. The
Cougars took a 42-35 lead
into halftime, a lead they
wouldn't give up for the
rest of the game.
The Eagles came within
two points of the Cougars midway through the
second half but CSUSM
would respond building
the lead back up to nine.

pulling with four with a
few minutes left in the
game.
Ali Langford's late intentional free throws
solidified the win for
CSUSM, beating BIOLA
85-78 and handing the Eagles their first loss of the
season. CSUSM improved
to 3-1 on the season and
will look to move up in
the national rankings after
their second impressive
win over a high-ranked
opponent.
Langford led the way
with a game high 27 points
and eight rebounds to
pace the Cougars offense
throughout the game. Rivera contributed 20 points
of his own, sparking the
offense when it appeared
to have slowed down hitting clutch three-pointers.
Just two days later, On
Friday Nov 16, the Cou-
gars faced off against
Vanguard University and
extended their winning
streak to four with a 85 69 victory.
After trailing by 9 in
the opening minutes of
the first half, the Cougars
were able to use a 20 - 4
run in over a seven minute
time frame to take*ta 4133 lead with a minute and
22 seconds left in the half.
Jacob Ranger, Quincy
Lawson and Hakeem
Washington were the
teams leading scores with
Ranger scoring 18 points
and both Lawson and

CSUSM' s ' Suspenders'
t ake Arizon a by st or m
BY MELISSA MARTINEZ
N EW S EDITOR
CSUSM's undefeated
flag football intramural
team the "Suspenders"
defeated six West Coast
teams at the Regional
Championships on Friday,
Nov. 9 held at Arizona
State University. This
marks the first ever trip
by a CSUSM team to the
National Campus Championship Series at the University of Central Florida
on Jan. 4 - 6. The Cougar
Chronicle
interviewed
team captain AJ Kirkpatrick on this glorious win..
Question: What were
the games like leading
up to the playoffs?
Answer: We started
off with two pool play
games against smaller
schools: CSU Northridge
and Fort Lewis College
(Colorado). We figured
those were good schools
to start off against, seeing
as we had no previous experience and had no idea
what to expect. We ended
up beating CSU Northridge pretty easily, and
then same against FLC.
Once we realized we had
the best point spread and
the number 1 seed in the
whole tournament, we
knew we had something
good going. That moment
was when we turned our
mindset up a level and
never looked back from
there.
Q: How did your team
practice throughout the
season?
A: We had two "gettogethers" with a couple
players at a time, before
the season, but nothing
even close to a real practice, and once the season
started we still didn't have
a full practice. We were
all just on the same page
from the beginning and
we all knew our role on
the team. Everyone just
executed every play and
it just happened to mesh
perfectly.
Top: The "Suspenders" team after their win in Arizona at the Regional Championship. Above: Team captain, AJ Kirpatrick with Regional
Championship trophy. Photos provided by AJ Kirpatrick
Q: What was your experience like in Arizona?
A: It was surprisingly
not very hot, the temperature was about 65-70
degrees with a cold wind
the whole time. It was really cool to hang out in a
different state and with
different people. Talking
to locals and other travelers about their experiences
who had no clue who we
were or where we were
from was interesting. We
loved the area and had a
blast all weekend.
Q: Can you give me
a few highlights of the
games?
A: There are so many
highlights but there are a
few that stand out. In our
first game, Marc Berry
had 4 interceptions and
basically set the tone for
the whole tournament.
There were multiple great
plays from one-handed
catches to divingflagpulls
on a fourth down goal line
stops. Oh yeah, I almost
forgot, our quarterback,
Josh Leiber, ended up being the Tournament MVP
with 34 touchdowns and 0
interceptions. /
Q: What does this
mean for your team in
Florida? Who are you
playing?
A: Our team is going to
travel to Florida and play
against the champions
from all 6 of the regional
tournaments. Those will
most likely be the toughest competition as other
local teams will be able
to buy their way into the
tournament. There will
be good teams, bad teams
and great teams, and we
see ourselves as a great
team.
- Q: Is your team nervous? Are you nervous?
A: I don't think we are
so much nervous as we
are anxious. There is always "butterflies" before
a big game or tournament,
but all we can do is go out
there and play football
like .we know how. We
don't care who they are or
where they are from. We
will go out, play our game
on every down and hope
that is enough when the
final whistle blows. After
seeing what we are capable of in the regional tournament, there is no limit to
what we can or can't do.
We will train and practice
and I guarantee we will be
ready to compete with the
best and put CSUSM on
the map. Only time will
tell. Keep an eye out for
us.

'LoveYour Body Day' inspires men and women alike
BY KATUN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Students who were looking for a positive way to
spend their time during
U-Hour were not disappointed at "Love Your
Body Day" on Thursday,
Nov. 15.
CSUSM featured an
event that celebrated every body shape and promoted positive body image, rather than generating
the idea that there is only
one "ideal" type.
"Love Your Body Day
is an annual event that is
meant to empower women
and men. Whether they are
on a diet, without a diet,
whatever body shape, we
want to make them feel
good about themselves,
and empower them in a
positive way," Gender
Equity Educator Raihana
Siddiq said.
Multiple groups and student organizations were
involved with the "Love
Your Body Day" event,
such as Gender Equity,
Kamaiayan
Alliance,
Hope & Wellness Center, LGBTQA and North
County Health Services.

Each booth was set up
with different activities for
visitors to partake in and
information for them to
learn about; ranging from
art projects to learning
about organizations that
promote positive body image on a regular basis to
Henna at a booth with the
slogan that makeup is fun,
but users are more beautiful without it.
At one particular booth,
visitors could write signs
with messages about what
they liked about their
body rather than what
they disliked, which were
then displayed to encour-
age others to be positive
as well.
"At our booth, we are
doing a Women's Studies
project to promote feminism. We want to end 'fat
talk' and instead promote
a positive body image by
letting everyone know all
bodies are beautiful," student Julia Chamale said.
While every booth had
its own theme and design,
all of them were working
towards the common goal
of making CSUSM students feel more comfortable with their bodies and
not feel insecure about
their appearance .
For those looking for
a one-stop-shop for everything breakfast, lunch
or even brunch-related,
look no further than San
Marcos' very own Mama
Kat's Restaurant and Pie
Shop.
Mama Kat's is a restaurant with a very welcoming, family-friendly environment. The moment you
walk through the doors,
you are greeted with warm
smiles and welcomes from
the wait staff. The décor,
complete with the antique
pictures and wooden objects on the walls, makes
the visitor feel as if they
are walking into their
grandmother's home for
Sunday breakfast.
When planning to eat
there, it is best to arrive
early. Mama Kat's can
get very busy, and it may
take a while for you to
be seated. Mama Kat's
offers coffee outside, so
you can have a nice, hot
cup of java as you wait
for your party to be called
and seated. But do not get
discouraged with the long,
wait because the food is
worth it.
Once you are seated,
you are greeted by some
of the friendliest servers
this side of the Mississippi. They offer to get
the table drinks, ranging
from freshly brewed coffee to ice cold milk and
fruit juices. Mama Kat's
offers a variety of breakfast foods and lunch specialties, such as American
staples like eggs, bacon,
sausage, hash, biscuits,
waffles, French toast,
pancakes, fried chicken,
hamburgers, hot dogs and
sandwiches; the list goes
on and on.
The food and desserts
are very reasonably and
affordably priced, ranging
from $6 - $13 for full entrees. Aside from the main
dishes, Mama Kat's bakes
some of the most delectable pies in town, freshly
made in-house for anyone
to enjoy by the slice or to
have a whole pie to take
home to their family.
Beware, however, when
dining at Mama Kat's with
the atmosphere, friendly
staff and delicious food
might make you feel so
much at home, you may
never want to leave.
Mama Kat's is located
at 950 West San Marcos
Blvd., and is open 6 a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. Monday Saturday, and 7 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Highly rated professor: Linda Hickman
BY KEANDRE W ILLIAM-CHAMBER S
C OP Y EDITOR
In recent months, Professor Linda Hickman was
honored with one of the
highest ratings in the nation on the RateMyProfessors website, ranking 20th
on their Top Professors for
2011-2012 list.
The website is dedicated to the student evaluation of professors they
have had and has served
as a way to determine the
best and worst professors
nationwide. The website
also uses student evaluations to rate schools.
Professor Hickman, a
business writing professor here at CSUSM, has
been teaching for over 10
years. She called the rating "fantastic," thanking
her students for the ratings
she has received.
"I take what I teach very
seriously and I do try to
provide a learning environment. I am always interested in learning taking
place," Professor Hickman said. "But there's
no reason that learning
can't take place under a
happy, positive, fun environment. Nobody would
go to school if it was all
drudgery. Life is hard, and
I want everyone to succeed."
Professor Hickman describes her class as one
that is interactive, which
gives all her students a
chance to participate and
provide input to help students see other perspectives. She notes that the
college experience is important for the student and
that it is her duty to keep
her students "safe and interested in learning," because "each individual's
future is important.
When sitting in her business writing class, it is
easy to become enthusiastic about what is being
learned. Professor Hickman's voice, both confident and caring, carries
well across the classroom.
She teaches in a style that
allows for entertaining
and informative anecdotes, adding a delightful splash of humor to the
classroom, She makes use
of real-world examples
that catch the students'
attention and hold it, but
she does not ramble. Professor Hickman presents
the class-pertinent information in a clear and concise format that makes the
information look simple
to understand, especially
while teaching complicated formats for memos and
business letters.
Perhaps one of the best
aspects of the course is
professor-class interaction. Professor Hickman is
able to keep the class's attention without even having to command it, result-

ing in high participation
and involvement in even
the low-energy informative moments. Students
are not afraid to provide
answers unprovoked and
with a clear understanding or desire to further
understand
concepts
brought up. The students
remain awake and attentive throughout the entire
lecture.
Congratulations is in
order for Professor Linda
Hickman on a job well
done. This class is recommended for freshmen and
sophomores
interested
in learning about how to
write in a professional
manner in a fun and informative environment
with interesting assignments that will make the
homework much more enjoyable to complete.

CONTRIBUTOR
I am not and will never be a blood donor.
I am a blood recipient.
The gift of blood donation has been and always
will be a huge factor in
my life. I was born with a
hereditary blood disorder
known as spherocytosis.
The disorder results in
my body rejecting and
destroying my own "red
blood cells. This poten-'
tially debilitating condition has affected many of
my family members, but
so has the gift of blood
donation. This is what inspires and motivates me
to be involved with the
blood drive at my school.
Blood donations have
helped form and unite
my family. My grandparents met when my grandmother was ill and in
need of a blood transfusion. My grandfather responded to the request for
donations to help her. My
mother wpuld not be here
without blood donations.
My life, and my sister's
life, were both saved because of blood donations.
I knew I had received
blood transfusions, but it
wasn't until I was recovering from a month-long
stay in the hospital that
I became very aware of
the importance of blood
donations. I did not understand where the blood
I received came from.
My mother took me

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it is time to roll up your sleeves
and dig your hands into some cranberries. This recipe is a Thanksgiving
classic with a twist, or should I say zest. I have been making my (almost)
famous cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving for the past five years. So I
am sharing it with you to make for your family dinner table or to take to
your friend's house this Thanksgiving.
What you'll need:
- One bag of cranberries
- One and a half cups of sugar
- Half a cup of orange, apple O cranberry juice
R
- The zest of an orange
- 3 - 5 quart pot
1.) Dump cranberries into strainer, and under water pick out any mushy or particularly blonde cranberries. 2.)
Pour the rinsed cranberries into your pot and add the sugar, juice and zest. (After zesting the orange I usually
slit a hole in it and squeeze the juice into the pot for flavor). 3.) Heat on low and let cook for about 20 minutes
until it is a deep, thick, saucy mixture. CAUTION: The cranberries pop when hot so keep an eye on them and
stir periodically. 4.) Once the cranberries have all popped, smash any left with the stirrer or pull out a potato
masher. 5.) Let cool for a bit, then pour inter serving bowl and chill overnight.
That's it! Now you have made a beautiful, decadent and quite tasteful dish for your Thanksgiving dinner table.

'Fables' and 'Fairest:' A nothe r take o n fairy tales
B Y FAITH ORCINO
CARTOONIST
T.V. shows such as:
NBC's "Grimm" and
ABC's "Once Upon A
Time" have changed the
roles of classic folklore
characters, and comic
books have their own way
of revamping the myths
and fairy tales. On Nov. 21,
the first trade paperback
of the series, "Fairest" and
issue 123 of "Fables" will
be on comic shpp shelves.
"Fairest" is a recent spinoff of Vertigo Comics'
ongoing "Fables" books.
While "Fables" deals with
a cluster of many characters from the classic stories in a modern setting,
"Fairest" focuses on the
lead female characters in
that realm. The volume
contains the first two arcs
featuring heroine, Sleeps
ing Beauty. Once again,
she wakes up after being
kissed by her true love,
but it is uncertain if this
particular person truly is
her true love or just an accident. Chronologically,
the stories take place after issue 107 of "Fables."
As f orth e latest addition
to the original storyline,
readers dive into a strange
event concerning main
characters Snow White
and the Big Bad Wolf.
Bill Willingham writes
for "Fables" and (with the
help of other staff writers)
writes "Fairest." Adam
Hughes creates the main
single-issue covers for
"Fairest" while various
artists draw the interior
pages. See what other familiar characters appear
in these series. Visit your
local comic vendor and/

FEATURES
After much anticipation
from students and faculty in
the California State University system, the CSU Board
of Trustees (BOT) finally announced Timothy P. White as
the seventh chancellor in the
CSU system.
Since Chancellor Charles
Reed announced his retirement in May, Reed has continued with the responsibilities as Chancellor until the
CSU BOT named a successor. White, who has served
as University of California,
Riverside's (UCR) chancellor for the past five years,
will continue leading the nation's largest public university system of 23 campuses
and manage the effects of
recent budget cuts.
White will also oversee the
five percent tuition increase if
Proposition 30 fails, an education incentive proposed by
Governor Jerry Brown. If rejected, there would be a $250
million funding cut. Failure
of prop 30 would also lead to
a halt in enrollment of spring
and fall of 2013 in most CSU
campuses.
White has stated, "We are
going to be very focused in
our efforts to talk about the
consequences if that is unsuccessful but also the importance to California if it is
successful.".
White's
leadership
achievements include leading the growth of UC Riverside to a record-breaking
21,000 students while creating committees to develop
plans in expending UCR's
continuous development. He
has led UCR to acclaimed
ratings in the U.S. News and
World Report's college rankings in academic quality and
diversity.
"I am humbled to have
been chosen to lead the
California State University
system at such a transforma-
tive time," White said in the
CSU Office of Chancellor's
press release. "As Chancellor, I look forward to engaging with faculty, students,
staff, campus presidents and
CSU trustees, along with the
communities we serve, as we
advance this vital system of
higher education for California's future."

O U R N E X T ISSUE
October 24
There is some confusion,
especially among students,
about the highly discussed
Prop. 32, which will definitely affect teachers, unions
and special interest groups,
but is not to be confused
with Prop. 30.
Prop. 32, also known as
the "Paycheck Protection"
initiative, is a hot topic on
the ballot this fall. The ballot measure proposes to limit
the political influence of labor unions by banning them
from making contributions
to candidates' political campaigns. Contributions made
by independent corporations
and political action committees (also known as PACs)
would be unaffected.
If Prop. 32 passes, it is
estimated that there will be
increased costs to the government for implementation
and enforcement of the new
requirements and those costs
could exceed $1 million annually, but could potentially
be offset by fines.
The "Yes on 32" campaign
is running with the slogan
"cuts the money tie between
special interests and politicians." One argument is
that the teacher unions focus
more on teacher-benefits,
seniority and tenure than on
the education that students
receive. Without political
protection, it would be easier
to layoff teachers who are
no longer meeting standards
and are just using their tenure as a shield.

AB-970
to make
school fees
transparent
BY FREDRICK MISLEH
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
On Sept. 27, Governor
Jerry Brown signed into legislation Assembly Bill 970,
which looks to make school
fees more transparent, as opposed to being behind closed
doors to the public and to
CSU/UC students.
The bill also requires the
Board of Trustees for the
CSU system to consult with
student associations six
months prior to implementing future fee increases in
hopes of avoiding mass protests, similar to those experienced at CSU Long Beach in
Nov. 2011.
While the CSU system
supports the bill, the UC system has been more hesitant
and remained neutral.
CSU legislative advocate
Andrew Martinez told the
Daily Caiifornian on Sept.
3, "Any time you put restrictions on tuition, that's a concern f o r the university, since
almost all funding comes
from either the state or tuition."
Two Assembly members,
Paul Fong (D-Cupertino)
and Marty Block (D-San
Diego) who proposed the
bill felt that the process by
which tuition was increased
needed student and parent
feedback and transparency.
Brown seems to agree with
their opinions.
AB 970, also known as the
Working Families Student
Fee Transparency and Accountability Act, would be
an addition to the Donahoe
Higher Education Act, an
already existing law from
1960.
What are your feelings on
transparent fees? Share them

performance. Uncharacteristically static and defensive,
the president was trounced
by an enthusiastic, passionate and confident Romney

alone. Early analysis of the
debate had Romney holding
the upper-hand in the debate
across the board, even if a
majority of viewers felt that

specifics as to solving the na^ tion's problems were scarce
between both candidates.
Debates can be the key to
presidential election. They
allow for candidates to
showcase their personalities
to the populace at large, and
if the president still has any
fight in him, he'll study this
"defeat" and hopefully bring
along some of the fire he has
wielded in the past to his
next encounter with Romney

PROP FROM I .
The "No on 32'? website
says to "stop the special exemptions act" and accuses
supporters of the proposition
with elaborating the proposition in such a way that they
are not banned from supporting their political interests, only unions. The top
contributor to the Prop 32
opposition is the California
Teachers Association. Variousfirefighters,law enforcement and nurse associations
are also included in the list
of supporters for the opposition.
Proposition 30 is directed
towards tuition and looks
to tax the rich in order to
prevent tuition hikes. This
proposition does not address
unions and political contributions.
Polling thus far has shown
that votes for and against
Prop 32 have been very
close. With all of the huge
contributions that have been
made to both the "Yes" and
"No" campàigns, the outcome of the election for Prop
32 is obviously highly anticipated.

Everyone is taught to dial
911 in the event of an emergency, but dialing 911 from
a cell phone on campus will
only reach the California
Highway Patrol, not the University Police Department.
The time lost waiting for
the CHP to transfer a call
from their dispatch to the
UPD dispatch could be
costly. The number to reach
the UPD dispatch is (760)
750 - 4567. Students, faculty and staff are all encouraged to save the number in
their phones in the event of
an emergency. If someone is
using a cell phone that has
T-Mobile or Verizon, their
mobile provider they will
automatically be connected
to the UPD.
When dialing 911 from
any campus phone, the call
will directly go to the UPD.
Also, there are 65 blue light
emergency telephones conveniently located throughout campus that can be used
to directly connect with the
UPD.
The number to reach the
UPD for emergencies is also
the same number to request a
campus escort. This is a service that is provided between
dusk and dawn by Community Service Officers [students] until 11 p.m. and UPD
officers thereafter to ensure
everyone feels safe on the

On Oct. 4, recruiters from
various industries were looking for a few good students
at the Career Expo on library
plaza.
As part of the many expos
and fairs that CSUSM hosts,
the Career Expo showcases
some of the job opportuni
ties college students will encounter when they graduate,
a Many available jobs were
finely tailored to specific
majors and fields of study,
others focused more on in
forming students about different companies and their
workforces.
Many students walked
about the aisles of displays,
with either resumes in hand
or information at the ready to
present to the recruiters. Oth
ers simply used the opportu
nity to began thinking of the
options available for them after their college experience is
complete. More than eager to
share, many vendors handed
out pamphlets as well as eyecatching trinkets to entice
students to come and learn
more about the jobs they offered.
This is expected to be one
of the last events of this
scale for the semester, aside
from an Etiquette Dinner.

October. For information or

If you are looking for a
great place to hang out with
friends that does not exceed
your budget, then Churchill's
Pub and Grille is the place
for you.
Named after former British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, this pub offers an
extensive beer selection (bottle, cask and tap), cocktails,
and a full menu for lunch
and dinner. If you're not 21
yet, it's not a problem because Churchill's is open to
all ages (until 10 p.m., when
the kitchen closes and it becomes a full bar).
Menu items range from $4
to $22. For the price, you get
a lot of food. Also, Churchill's offers seven daily deals
throughout the week. The
most famous one is Wing
Wednesday, where for 50
cents per wing you can get
either Churchill's signature
BBQ sauce or buffalo wings.
If you are feeling more
adventurous, you can pay
60 cents per wing and have
Ivan's Revenge (the hottest
hot wings known to man).
This is Churchill's signature
BBQ sauce mixed with Guinness (no age limit on these ,
and my personal favorite),
or you can get a weekly spe-

NEWS EDITOR
Gay students will share
their own experiences about
coming out at 'The Coming
Out Monologues,' fro 6:309 p.m. Oct. 20 at McMahan
House. The event has been
organize by the LGBTQA
Pride Center.
Inspired by Eve Ensler's
confessional play "The
Vagina Monologues," the
"Coming Out Monologues"
will feature CSUSM students talking about their own
experiences with accepting
their sexuality. The event is
meant to empower and inspire members of the community to share their own
experiences.
Students who identify
as gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender and allies are encouraged to attend and participate. There, you can gain
an understanding of the LGBTQA community and fend
out ways to become an ally,
who is a person of support to
a this community.
With attending and participating in the event, students
are able to be educated in the
different identities and diversity that exists on campus.
In learning, students can be
more aware of social justice
awareness and have the opportunity to create an inclusive environment on campus.
By implementing the importance for an inclusive
campus, students will be
able to feel safe and welcomed, regardless of their
gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion.
Students can find interesting information not only in
the books at Kellogg Library,
but in its décor as well.
Since Sept. 25, the "More
Than Casinos: California Indian Culture, Contributions
and Communities" exhibit
has been offereing visitors an
inside look at the lives and
culture of Native Americans.
"The theme of the exhibit
is to showcase a more holistic view of contemporary
American Indian people,"
the Outreach Librarian and
coordinator of the context,
Melanie Chu said.
It features items from local
tribes, as well as the work of
California Indian artists Gerald Clarke and Robert Freeman. Tribes that are represented in the exhibit include
Pechanga, Luiseno, Pomo,
Rincón, Karuk, Cahuilla,
Kumeyaay,
Acjachemen,
Pauma, Chumash, and many
others.
Like the title suggests, the
name "More Than Casinos"
comes from the association
of American Indians with
casinos. The exhibit aims to
show visitors that there is
much more to the culture and
the people.
"It is important for many
reasons," Chu said. "We
have many tribal communities and reservations in San
Diego County with a long
culture, and local history
to understand. We have a
California Indian Culture
and Sovereignty Center
on campus, and we have a
small, growing number of
American Indian students [at
CSUSM]."
This is the 18th Exhibit in
the Context: Library Series
on display in Kellogg Library. Each fall arid spring
semester, classes and groups
on campus incorporate what
they have learned in the
classroom when they visit
the library to discuss the exhibits. "More Than Casinos"
will be on display until Dec.

On Feb. 8, 2009, pop
singer Rihanna was hospitalized after a heated argument
with her boyfriend, R&B
singer Chris Brown, left her
with bruises and injuries to
her face. Brown was later
charged with felony assault
and pleaded guilty in court.
He was sentenced to five
years of probation, domestic
violence counseling and half
a year of community service.
Rihanna obtained a five-year
restraining order prohibiting
Brown from coming within
50 yards. Now, rumors have
surfaced that they have been
displaying PDA and going to
concerts together.
While celebrity love lives
all just sound like a Taylor
Swift song, the gossip about
this onetime couple sends
such a bad message to young
couples and girls.
Maybe she was into that
and Brown was the inspiration for her song "S&M,"
and we'll never know and
shouldn't really care. But
feminism aside, really Rihanna? After your boyfriend
beats you, you're still willing to give him another shot?
There are so many things
wrong with that.

With general semester
parking permits at $338 and
the "cheaper" X, Y, and Z

wonders why it must be so
high?
Other schools in the area
including: SDSU - $135 per
semester (day only), USD $140 per semester (full-time
commuter), and Palomar *$40 (without a BOGW).
Students disagree with how
high the prices arerising,and
think it is an unfair thing to
do to already struggling college students. These days,
with tuition prices creeping
up as well as the student fees
increasing every semester, it
difficult enough for students
to make ends meet. This is

so hyped up about these "rumors" is because Rihanna
and Chris Brown are public
figures and that comes with
some sort of responsibility.
I'm not implying it's their
personalities that made them
famous ... and a bunch of
other people attempt to make
them look good. They need
to stop being selfish and
think about the impact their
actions have on their fans.
I know how easy it is to be
manipulated by what I see
in magazines, particularly
when we are young. Since
then, I would say I have a
good head on my shoulders
and learned not to imitate celebrities. But what happens
when young girls look at the
magazines and think "Rihanna and Chris Brown are
back together?" I guess its
not such a bad thing if guys
hit girls." And Rihanna's
justification gives guys the
message that girls like this.
Where does it end?
Society needs to stop blowing stories like this into our
faces. What does it matter if
they get back together in our
daily lives? Society needs
to stop obsessing over what
these celebrities choose to do
with their lives. If we don't,
actions that Brown committed could possibly seem ethical.
On Sept. 20, a ceremony
was held at the McMahan
House in honor of the inauguration of the CSU's Institute for Palliative Care at
CSUSM. Among the speakers at the ceremony was jnone
other than the outgoing CSU
chancellor, Charles B. Reed.
While not surprising that the
CSU chancellor would attend such an event, what is
surprising is that the two coeditors-in-chief of the Cougar Chronicle were the only
two students who attended
the event, and as press.
No other student was aware
of Reed's visit. No students
from the nursing program
attended, even though the
Institute for Palliative Care
falls under CSUSM's nursing program. While plenty
of announcements regarding
palliative care were made
in the weekly Campus-wide
Announcement emails sent
out by the Office of Communications, none of them
mentioned that Reed would
be attending, let alone speaking, at the inauguration ceremony.
Why all the secrecy?
Granted, Reed is not the
most popular figure within
the CSU among students.
After all, tuition and parking
permit fees increased by 5
percent and faculty suffered
a major pay cut under Reed's
administration in November
2011 ; at the same time, presi-
dents of the CSU schools, the
Board of Trustees members,
and Reed himself received
raises to their overly bloated
salaries.
Perhaps Reed was concerned for [his] safety?
That was the same reason
he barred students from attending the November 2011
Board of Trustees meeting
where the aforementioned
tuition increases and pay
raises occurred. After all,
who could ignore the student
protests that followed? Perhaps Reed feared he might
have school supplies or,
even more degrading, spare
change thrown at him?
Whatever the reason, it is
an outrage. If we as students
are asked to pay more into the
system so that the CSU presidents, Trustees, and Chancellor can finally afford the
latest model Lamborghini,
we should be informed of
when the Chancellor will be
making a visit to our school
(whether he's driving said
Lamborghini or not).
•Editor's Note: Chancellor Reed is publically noted
as mainly utilizing chauffeur
services. Campus interimPresidents are noted as having a $1,000 per month vehicle allowance, in lieu of a
university-provided vehicle.
Symbolic Motor Company
of La Jolla estimates that the
lease on a 2013 Lamborghini
Gallardo Coupe would be
about $3,500 per month.

not to mention the hundreds
of dollars that students spend
every semester on textbooks,
etc. It all adds up.
So why are our parking
prices so high?
"The parking at CSUSM
is 100% self-support, we
have no funds from the CSU
school system since they decentralized the parking funds
just before we opened this
school. I would love to see
it go down, but it all depends
on the payment we have to
make. We really try to make

T3ch F4II mixes up CSUSM

Junior Alec Pagliaro, also known as "T3ch F4II," has
been a DJ since middle school, when his brother introduced him the skill. As well as playing on campus»
he reguarly plays at many clubs and bars in the San
Diego, area as well as at Comic-Con International.

Academy Award-winning
director Martin McDonagh
has stunned movie critics
once again with his latest
movie "7 Psychopaths,"
which premiered Sept. 29 at
the San Diego Film festival
and earned 4 Vi stars.
The film opens in wide release Oct. 12 with an all-star
cast that includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody
Harrelson, Tom Waits, Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko.
McDonagh wrote the script
and directed the film.
The film begins with Irishbred alcoholic screenwriter
Marty Faranan (Farrell) who
has a brilliant title for his
next film, "7 Psychopaths,"
but no story. Marty keeps
company with his girlfriend
Kava (Cornish) and his best
friend Billy (Rockwell). Billy makes his living by stealing dogs with his friend Hans
(Walken) and returning them
to their grateful owners for
reward money.
Billy's scheme goes terribly awry when he and Hans

gangster Charlie (Harrelson). Determined to find the
thieves who nabbed Bonny
from her dog-walker, Charlie
goes on a killing spree.
I had the opportunity to
interview McDonagh at
the film festival. Casually
dressed in a button-up shirt
and sleek blazer with jeans
to finish off his stylish look,
he spoke highly of the actors
in his cast, many of whom
he has worked with before.
Farrell starred in McDonagh's Oscar-nominated film
"In Bruges," and Walken and
Rockwell starred in McDonagh's Broadway play "A Behanding in Spokane."
"They're great, they're
such great actors, fun guys
to be around, so it's funny,"
McDonagh said. "I think
most actors like good dialogue to play with. We had
that, so yeah it was a joy.
They're all kind of friends
together as well, more like a
family."
His top 10 music hits are:
I ."Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia
2. "Icarus" - Madeon
3."Scary Monsters" - Skrillex
4."Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" - P!nk
S. "One More Night" - Maroon 5
6. "We Are Never Getting Back Together"
-Taylor Swift
7. "Too Close" - Alex Clare
8. "Gangnum Style" -Psy

For young adults, surviving love can be a demanding,
chaotic and stressful time in
your life. Taylor Swift's love
life is no different. However, not many young adults
can say the ups and downs
of love have won them six
Grammy awards, 10 American Music Awards, seven
Country Music Association
Awards and six Academy
of Country Music Awards,
which is only the beginning
of her sparkling career.
Swift skyrocketed up country music charts in 2006 with
her self-titled debut album
and soon made her way over
to the Top 40 pop charts. In
her early songs, Swift wrote
about her troubles in high
school, such as trying to get
the "jocks" to notice her and
dealing with typical teenage
dramas. She channeled her
frustrations and heartbreak
into an undeniable love for
the people who identified
with her happiness and/or
hurt.
On Oct. 22, Swift will
release her fourth album,
"Red." Now 22 years old,
Swift could move forward
in her songwriting to write
about relationships from a
more mature perspective.
But the first single from the
album, "We Are Never Ever
Getting Back Together," reminded me more of her high
school breakup songs.
As a "T-Swizzle" fan and
a college student, I felt that
"We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together" was catchy,
but something wasn't quite
my taste. Maybe it was the
unnecessary, excessive use
of the word "like" or the
overemphasizing of the word
"ever," but it just seemed
a bit childish to me. I was
not impressed. Since I have
been rooting for this album
(and hopefully even a few
singles) to win a Grammy
or two, I was concerned.
However, upon listening to
her next single "Red," I felt
much better.
"Red" at first sounds like
she has returned to her country roots, but then it transitions into a more modern
musicality that fits with her
more recent, critically acclaimed albums "Fearless"
and "Speak Now." This song
is about losing love and how
"forgetting him is like trying
to forget somebody you've
never met."
She presents a song that
I believe many people can
identify with, since both the
intensity of pain and her music have matured.

Improvisational comedy is
a good way to relax, let off
steam and have fun. It's also
a way to build confidence
and self-esteem.
For self-described "superduper senior" Frank John
Tabarez, being a member of
the CSUSM Improv Team
has not only taught him valuable skills, it has also given
him a family of friends on
campus. The Cougar Chronicle sat down with Tabarez to
talk about improv and what
he has learned from it over
the years.
Question: What made
you decide to join the improv team?
Answer: Two years ago,
my roommate Lance Rosenberger got me involved. After *
a lot of persuading, he finally
got me to go and I enjoyed it.
Q: How would you describe improv?
A: Improv is short for improvisation. We, as a team,
get on the stage and literally
improvise scenes f rom suggestions yelled out by the audience . Through their participation, we are able to make
scenes and create characters
in ridiculous scenarios.
Q: Why is it important
to have an improv team on
campus?
A: It is important because
we, as a team, want to enter- .
tain and make people laugh.
It's also a way to come together. Regardless of your
experience, we welcome all
and give everyone the opportunity to learn.
Q: How long have you
been participating in improv?
A: Technically, two years: I
took half a semester o ff , but
wanted to come back because
I really missed performing.
Q: How has perform-*
ing on the improv team
changed or impacted your
life?
A: Improv has really
changed my life significantly. I am more outspoken and
confident. There is something about being on a team
and performing with your
teammates that is so rewarding and satisfying.

Universal Pictures celebrates 100 years of movies
B Y J ULIAN A S TUMP P
C o - A & E EDITOR
The studio that brought
Hollywood some of its most
memorable films celebrates
their 100th Anniversary by rereleasing their best movies.
Universal is America's
oldest movie production
studio, having been created by Carl Laemmle in
1912 who adopted an inter-
est in Nickelodeon's movie
theater which only charged
a nickel for admission. Laemmle teamed up with other
Nickelodeon moguls to
form the Universal Film and
Manufacturing Company.
To commemorate their
centennial accomplishment,
Universal has released BluRay editions of their classics.
First was "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Blu-Ray for the
Academy Award winning
film's special 50th Anniversary, followed by other popular movies, old and new, that
have been on sale separately.
These include "Jaws," "Brokeback f ountain, " "Jurassic
Park" and "Sixteen Candles."
For Halloween, a . limited edition box set called
Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection has become avail-
able to commemorate this
milestone. The collection
will include the celebrated
original movie horrors like
"Frankenstein," "Dracula"
and the "Wolf Man" for
their Blu-Ray premiere.
On Nov. 6, a Universal
100th Anniversary Collection DVD set will be released. This would include
26 of the studio's old and
new films from the dramatic
"Schneider's List" to the
family favorite "Despicable
Me." The bundle features exclusive documentaries about
Academy award winning
films and legendary directors, with a CD of admired
scores from the featured
films to bring back the nostalgia of the 100 years past.
Looking back on the studio's huge accomplishments,
they didn't just leave a foot-
print on the film industry.
They left one in our households with innovative story
lines that have been seen by
our grandparents and parents, one that we may one
day introduce to the next
generation. Over the span
of these 100 years, Universal has set the standard for
movies improvement in the
realm of technology and
the digital aspects involved.

B Y F REDRIC K M ISLE H
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
"Argo," a new film that
opens in theaters Friday, is
based on the true story of
the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979 and the
hostage crisis that followed.
Six foreign service officers
escaped the embassy out the
back door. They sought refuge at the British, Australian
and New Zealand embassies
but were turned away. Eventually, the Canadian ambassador secretly took them into
his home.
While they waited for a way
out, the U.S. State Department collaborated with the
Central Intelligence Agency
to get the six Americans out.
The job fell to technical operations officer Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck,
who also directs the film).
He was a career CIA spook
with an expertise in extracting people from hot zones.
He turned to his contacts in
Hollywood who helped him
set up a fake movie studio
and movie shoot in Iran that
could be used as a cover during the operation. The script
they
stumbled upon was
"Argo," a sci-fi
thriller set in an
exotic Middle
Eastern landscape.
To legitimize
the film, Mendez hired actors to dress
up in costume
and read the
script in front
of others. The
six Americans
were given Canadian identities and they
served on the
shoot as screenwriters, assistant producers
and casting directors. When
the movie wrapped, the six
Americans left Iran with the
rest of the film crew. If you
want more details, you have
to see the movie.
Though the secret operation took place in 1979, it
wasn't public knowledge
until President Bill Clinton
declassified it in 1997. In the
