Mark Wallace kicks off literary series
Intellectual experience for campus and San Marcos community members
Professor Spotlight
A l ook i nto t he l ives o f CSUSM p rofessors •
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 29, Professor Mark
Wallace read from his book,
"The Quarry and the Lot," as the
first event of CSUSM's fall 2011
Community and World Literary
Series.
In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate
professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave
students, faculty and the general
public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the
author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid
presentation that was both personal and professional.
A brief introduction, presented
by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002
Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and
authored more than 15 books
and chapbooks of poetry, fiction
and essays. Also, other countries
translated Wallace's writings into
several other languages.
Following the introduction,
Wallace read several short poems
from his collection titled "Belief
is Impossible." Wallace's poetry
proposed ideas and questions that
gave the audience something to
consider. These considerations
came from lines about art, poetry
and thought-provoking questions
directed at the audience.
Wallace then read from "The
Quarry and the Lot," published
earlier this year. The plot of the
;
Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day
Pride Staff Writers
K imber Q u i n n e y
novel follows a group of friends
who reunite following the death
of a childhood friend. Wallace
wrote the novel using four voices
that alternate between the past
and the present.
Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter
ensuing from the audience. He
then advised that when doing a
reading, one should not do voices.
A narration about childhood
experiences, including a reckless
bicycle stunt, first introduced the
audience to the character Nick.
After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The
Quarry and the Lot," introducing
the audience to another character,
Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's
voice embodied Amelia as she
spoke of Joseph romantically and
admiringly, seeing him as not just
another one of the boys, but as
something deeper. From Amelia's
perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst-
ridden youth trying to escape
bleak suburbia.
An opportunity for audience
members to ask Wallace any
questions followed the reading.
These questions ranged from different topics including his book,
writing style and writing process.
Many students voiced what they
thought of Wallace's published
work.
"I had read ["The Quarry and
the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on
the different characters," Liberal
Studies major Kelsey Carmichael
said.
For those who are unfamiliar
with a guest speaker's work, the
Community and World Literary
Series offers audience members
a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers
as they share their work and give
insight into their writing process.
The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain
on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

Breast C ancer Awareness
Community activities for a cause
Juliana Stumpp
Pride Staff Writer
October is the month of breast
cancer awareness.
According to the Susan G.
Komen website, in 2011, there
will be 230,480 new cases of
breast cancer in the United States.
Donating money to the American
Cancer Society helps conduct
more research to help find a cure
and save millions of lives.
This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold
their annual "Fight for the Cure"
in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the
event, school organizations such
as the Campus Activities Board
(CAB), • Health and Wellness
center, Women's Center and The
Clarke plan to have information
tables.
"I don't think [students] realize
the importance of getting tested
as women," Alicia Perry from
ASI said.
Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be
involved in raising money. In
previous years, ASI attempted to
put together a Powder Puff game
where students pay to play the
game and the proceeds went to
the American Cancer Society.
"We would have an issue trying"
to get people to sign up because
they wanted their free time to do
something else," Perry said. "Our
goal is to raise funds for research
and to get as many people involved."
This year, ASI is trying a new
approach to raise money. ASI is
getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting
way called "Hotties in Heels."
The event entails a group of
young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to
American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness.
If you see a cross dresser walking
around campus, be sure to take a
picture with him and your friends
and give him a tip for dressing up
for a great cause.
"Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer" will hold an event in
Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday,
Oct. 16. It consists of a three to
five mile walk. If students are
interested, attend "Fight for the
Cure" and visit the CAB table to
sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team.
For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the
Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The
event is located in the Macy's
parking lot in the Promenade
Mall. Hundreds of local vendors
will give away free merchandise
and sponsor activities for participants.
Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells
for Boobs" took place at CrossFit
San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action."
Zionna Mnouz founded the
foundation. Mnouz went to get
a mammogram in 2009, but was
denied the test because she was
twenty-six-years-old. Six months
later, Mnouz noticed a lump in
her breast had grown larger. She mammograms. This year alone,

Happy Hour of the Week:
BJ's Restaurant a nd Brewhouse
A taste of downtown, in Carlsbad
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
A good microbrew and a deep
dish pizza always make for one
hour of happiness. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad
provides enough variety to satisfy
any palette.
BJ's motto, "Discover why it's
always Happy Hour at BJ's,"
proved to be valid not only for its
tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for
their award-winning beers. BJ's
is more refined than your average
dive bar and their menu supports
the ambience with a wide variety
of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and
fish and chips. The most creative
thing to do is to build your own
deep dish pizza using ingredients
including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that
unique pizza with a specialty beer
($3.95 during happy hour), most
notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's
Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer,
to create a meal all your own.
BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs
a "Brewer Blog." After you've
filled up on tasty beer and pizza,
direct your eyes to the must try
"Pizookie" dessert: your choice
of a baked cookie covered with
two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
The happy hour deals offer $1
off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have
specials like half off all wine
on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito
Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs
from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday
and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday.
BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent
of downtown San Diego, with an
indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an
expansive bar, stylish decoration
and friendly service. It is part of
the attractive dining and shopping
scene near the Carlsbad Flower
Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still
provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of
Carlsbad.
BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse
is located on Paseo del Norte in
Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday,
11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m.
Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight
Sunday.
Inventive professor challenges
traditions in entrepreneurial class
Pride Staff Writer
If you enroll in the College of
Business Administration's new
Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't
expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow.
He's teaching his students to
become dreamers.
The first-time professor at Cal
State San Marcos doesn't have a
syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding
points to students who effectively
challenge his ideas, regardless of
whether they're right or wrong!
Landow says he pushes his
student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is
the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs.
He should know. Landow is
the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment
firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based
Bond Laboratories, where he
oversaw the development of new
consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and
the hangover prevention drink
Resurrection.
Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen,
ability to feel, ability to envision
or see what's not there yet and the
ability to sell."
To teach his students these
traits, Landow's first project this
semestèr was to have them form
teams to create lemonade stands,
the foundation for all young entrepreneurs.
In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his
students about how to name their
drink stands.
"Understand a lemon," he said.
"The first priority to naming a
product or business is like naming your first child."
And when telling students
how to choose partners for their
stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected,
not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear."
Students in Entrepreneurship
320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By
the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop
a marketable product or service.
While owning a successful business is the goal of most
students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich
isn't necessarily a goal Landow
espouses. He said he encourages
charitable giving as a way for
business owners to expand their
sales and do good in the world;
"The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said.
"Don't overlook the need to give
back. You can make better contacts through charity than through
business. How thrilling is it to do
something for someone else? I
can't tell you why, (but) it's more
fulfilling."

Where's the value in higher education?
Blaine H. Mogi!
Pride Staff Writer
In 1960, the California State
Department of Education drafted
a 230-page., 15-year master plan
for the University of California,
California State College (later
CSU) and community college
systems with the goal of saving
the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition."
At the time, those heady words
referred to the competition between the three upper education
systems. But with today's tuition
costs rising rapidly at the UC and
CSU campuses, the Department
of Education should be more concerned about competition from
colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal
threat.
At a meeting of the UC Regents,
Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a
budget proposed by UC leaders
would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the
next four years.
If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students
could soar north of $22,000 by
fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the
system that year could expect the
cost of their diploma to exceed

While the price hikes for CSU

largely unnoticed is an analysis
that for every $1 invested by the
state in the higher education system, $16 iii revenue is produced
for the state, according to Erik
Fallis with the CSU Chancellor's
office.

Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and
ask ourselves the big question:
why are we here (and by "here,"
I mean college)? Why are you—
one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher
education? Don't spout out some
canned response about the terrible
economy and having "no other
choice" but to attend school. The
fact is that you are here for you.
The sad part about attending
college at Cal State San Marcos
is the perception of a "commuter
campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and
gets on with his or her life. The
next time you're rushing to beat
the traffic out of the Markstein

remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions,

all hurrying to "get out" on time,
but sometimes we just need to
take a breath and appreciate what
a college campus can offer.
So stick around a while after

Get involved. Do something that
will feed your soul. Join a club,
a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander
into the Cross-Cultural Center,

with your professors will come in

Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money
because it's required by its charter
to remain neutral. Although thè
office sympathizes with students
who are overburdened by tuition
costs, the most it can do is make
budget recommendations and

A little more p arking for
a "little" more money
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
If you are a student at CSUSM,
you're probably a commuter.
Therefore, you understand what
it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own
a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for
a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it
would be nice to have a parking
spot close to the dorms. Yet you
still find yourself racing through
the dorms trying to beat someone
to the only available parking spot.
This year, CSUSM welcomed
its new and returning students
to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely
made an impact for those who
may háve to walk back and forth
to campus and their car. Now
that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever
seen. I typically arrive to school
around 9 a.m., and by then, floors
one through three are completely
packed, four is mainly empty and
the congestion begins again on
floors five and six.
I am greatful for the structure
but I will admit, driving to the
sixth floor can be such a bother.
I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts
on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when
she said, "[The parking structure]
is pretty good because it is great
to have such an easy access to
parking as opposed to having to
struggle to find some when you're
rushing to class."
As someone who is late almost
every single day, I believe the
new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find
parking.
Though the new structure is
both convenient and accessible,
being a student and paying the
prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls.
Perez continued,"The prices are
incredibly hurtful to anyone's
wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee."
This year, an academic year
parking pass which is valuable
for both fall 2011 and spring 2012
costs $643 (currently sold out).
If you want to buy your pass for
each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a
little cash for each semester, you
could always chose to pay for the
X, Y, and Z parking pass for the
semester which will only run you
$254. If you really want to save ~
some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only
run you $70 per semester.
If you decide that it would be
easier to buy daily passes, the
rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five
hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for
one hour. Let's face it; who has
this kind of money laying around?

On Sept. 16, the wait was finally over as "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" was released in stunning Blu-ray in North America.
Since then, the set has shattered
Blu-ray sales records. According
to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The
Complete Saga has earned over
$84 million worldwide in one
week on Blu-ray.
Though sales are strong, the set
is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every
release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this
release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene
in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the
Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and
new dialogue added to Obi-Wan
in "A New Hope." Perhaps some
welcome the changes and regard
them as a new feature to enhance
the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority
of fans who love and enjoy the
theatrical releases of the films.
The average customer review
for "Star Wars: The Complete
Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5
stars on Amazon.com. Skimming
through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an
overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films.
Like many fans before me, I am
no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days
of "Han shot first," fans have
slowly lost faith in their beloved
saga. What disappoints me most
is the unfortunate reality that we
as fans have no voice in the future
of "Star Wars." How many years
must we wait until Lucas will
provide us with theatrical cuts
in high definition? As a die-hard
fan, I don't want to have a new,
updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years.
I want to remember the series for
what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I
would purchase "Star Wars: The
Complete Saga" had the set come
with both the theatrical cuts and
the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though
the set would cost more, I would
pay (almost) any price to see the
original classic films restored to
visual perfection.
While the Blu-ray releases may
have a wealth of bonus features
and documentaries, I will not
purchase the set due to all the
changes. Many of us fans will
continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may
take. If growing up with "Star
Wars" taught us anything, there
will always be a new hope... for a
little fan service.
I am not ashamed to say that I
love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras"
even though People Magazine
and CNN say I should be.
Here in California, child beauty
pageants are few and far between.
But in the southern U.S., pageants
take over hotel conference rooms
nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three
months.
Many publications recently
printed less than comprehensive
coverage of the hit show after a
3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie
"Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's
character is a prostitute.
Similar costuming includes a
4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a
2-year-old dressed as Madonna.
I will concede to the argument
that beauty pageants for children
are not age appropriate in any
sense. Considering that the infant
categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than
a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling,
crying or sleeping, baby across a
stage, there is little support for the
case that the parent is doing the
pageant because the child wants
to.
This is the cardinal problem
with children in beauty pageants:
crazy, scary moms want to be on
stage, so they live vicariously
through their daughters (and
sometimes sons).
Actually, apart from the whole
age appropriateness ordeal (and
the obscene amounts of money
people spend),.that's pretty much
the only real issue with beauty
pageants.
When a kid lacks his or her own
. agency to decide to go onstage,
then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption
than most politicians do when it's
time comes to grace the pageant
stage (YouTube her and you'll see
what I mean). With catch phrases
that include " I'm not doing what
you tell me," "Well, where's my
drink?" and "Put me down so I
can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie
dolls spouting any number of her
hilarious lines.
I guess, if you really wanted to,
you could say this ball of energy
is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you
could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera.
However, the portrayal of
these children is meant to shock
viewers and leave them, mouths
agape, waiting for the next
week's installment. I feel I should
also mention that TLC has hired
the best TV editing team that
ever existed; they truly make the
show far more entertaining than it
should be.
Shame on CNN for trying
to make me feel bad. Sure, I
wouldn't recommend the many
CSUSM students with young
children to watch "Toddlers &
Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment.
CNN: pick on somebody your
own size.

The 'O ffice seturns T hursdays aack
trikes b t 9 p.m.
NBC's h it mockumentaiy' r
Melissa Martinez
Pride Staff Writer
Many of us have been anticipating the return of NBC's mocEumentaiy that first stole our hearts
in 2005. For those who have yet
to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the
many talents of actors such as
Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and
John Krasinski. The return of
the sitcom beginning their eighth
season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave
us the hope that the show can be
equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott.
It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk
into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre
Scranton branch, but the season
opened with a hilarious story line:
planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected,
as Meredith was caught planking
under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for
the surprise of new management.
We learn in the beginning of the
opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo
(Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own
job but returned to work out of
the meeting room. Pam (Jenna
Fischer) was especially sensitive
due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are
expecting their second child, a
son, as well as Angela (Angela)
expecting her first child with her
husband, the senator (whom we
were led to believe was gay). The
biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew
Bernard (Ed Helms) was named
branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether
he can successfully run a branch,
we can all agree that he truly cares
about the office and his heart is
in the right place. Personally, I
was confused why he would be
named manager, since I figured
the producers were planning to
go in a different direction as far
as personality. We both know that
Michael Scott and Andy Bernard
are both known to cause mishap
around the office.
Last week's episode was one
that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy
handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to
upset anyone or coming off as'
too strict but also wanting work
to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new
team of warehouse workers to
take oyer since the old ones quit
after winning the lottery. Since
Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin,
Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried
desperately to figure out how to
load the reams of paper into the
delivery truck through trial and
error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended
with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was
"muy rapido." The buzz around
the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you
won the lottery?" As always, Jim
and Pam (affectionately known as
PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend
their "fantasy" life after winning
the lottery. Andy surprised us all
when he took charge in getting
Darryl back into the mood of actually working.
Though I am accustomed to
the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I
am excited for the future of "The
Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how
Andy will hopefully prove my
expectation of failing wrong. If
you weren't able to catch it, you
can always watch it the day after
airing on http://wwwiiulu.com.
"The Office" airs on NBC every
Thursday at 9 p.m.
The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It
introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts'
many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd
even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season
featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The
Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway
musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have
created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed
in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning
the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing."
In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April
Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside
William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele.
t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range.
Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron)
realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't
choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and
KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for
a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically.
Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed
the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck
playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect
ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a
tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our
seats for season two.
Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed
"dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather
Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her
amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced
to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked
the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast.
Season two also introduced viewers to the character
Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around
"Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere.
Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd
competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted
viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt.

jOctober's Feature: "We Bought A Zoo,"
by Benjamin Mee
Nostalgic novel steals hearts
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
It should come as no surprise
that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We
Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo.
In his novel, Mee documents
his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up
until the opening day. In the
midst of this overwhelming
yet exciting process, tragedy
strikes when Mee's wife dies.
Instead of putting life and the
zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset
of opening day as a productive
distraction from his loss.
Mee's accounts of this time
in his life are heartwarming
and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between
moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced
with humorous or even tense
interactions between the humans and the animals.
However, Mee's storytelling
is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His
story often feels as if you are
listening to someone recount a
series of incidents while often
withholding any conversations
that may have taken place during the events.
With the story being told
from Mee's point of view, his
illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling. His ability
to be touched by subtle ges-

tures of sympathy following the

With every Halloween comes
opportunities to get your scare on
and face your fears (if you dare
to) with Halloween themed attractions. Haunted Trail, Haunted
Hotel and The Scream Zone are
three of San Diego's well-known
places that are sure to make your
blood run cold. These events are
annual running from as early as
late September all the way until
Halloween night.
San Diego's Haunted Trail has
guests take an eerie nighttime
trail trek with shocking surprises
awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is
not for children under 10, and they
do not recommended it for those
who are prone to seizures or have
heart problems due to the use of
strobe lights and intense scares.
The Haunted Trail opened back in
September, and will remain open
Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 19 - 31. On
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1
p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays,
the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45
p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General
admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17
on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Haunted Hotel is the San
Diego Halloween haunted house
attraction that has been around
the longest and therefore has built
notoriety. The attraction takes
its guests down a "Hellevator"
below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies,
ghouls and even Freddy Krueger
himself. This attraction is open
Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 .
On Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays the hotel is open from
7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1
a.m. and on Halloween night the
hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and
scares, the Haunted Hotel is not
recommended for those who are
prone to seizures or have heart
problems. For more information
such as an in-depth FAQ of the
three San Diego Halloween attractions and various ticket price
options, see www.hauntedhotel.
coin (from this site there are links
redirecting to the specific pages
for the Haunted Trails, Haunted
Hotel and Scream Zone).
The Scream Zone, held at the
Del Mar Scaregrounds, opened
on Sept. 30 and will remain open
to guests eager for scares Oct. 13
- 16 Thursdays through Sundays
and Oct. 2 0 - 3 1 each night. The
Scream Zone times are Fridays
and Saturdays 7 p.m. - midnight
and 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. on the other
opening days. The. three attractions are the Haunted Hayride,
The House of Horror and The
Chamber. The Haunted Hayride
takes guests on a haywagon ride
beyond the Del Mar Race Track
and up close and personal with
various ghouls and creatures.
The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house
with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction
is not recommended for children
under 10). Finally, The Chamber
takes guests into a labyrinth of
frightening proportions featuring
what the Scream Zone's website
states is "the largest 'spinning
tunnel' in San Diego." Prices
depend upon the patron's choice
of haunt (or haunts, if you dare).
The triple haunt (which includes
all three attractions) is $27.99. A
double haunt includes the Chamber and the House of Horror or
the Haunted Hayride and costs
$18.99. A single haunt consisting
either of the House of Horror or
the Haunted Hayride is $14.99.
There are also group sales and
military discounts available for
visitors. For more info on the
prices and directions, visit www.
thescreamzone .com. According
to The Scream Zone website, 509
visitors haven't made it through
to the end of the House of Horror.

H as the era or a universally a ppealing artist passed?
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Over
the
last
twenty y ears, the
role of the musician has changed in
A merica.
T his idea came to
me c onsidering the
death of Michael
Jackson and the rerelease of
the Beatles albums. These performers revolutionized their
i ndustry, f rom the way music
sounded, to the way it was
made.
What was u nique is that they
appealed to everyone. I know
not everyone liked or likes the
Beatles or Michael Jackson,
but in t heir heyday, a considerable p ortion of the world followed t hem. It is hard to deny
the impact of " Beatle-mania,"
plus " Thriller" r emains the
h ighest selling album of all
time.
The same goes for other a rt-
ists, such as Elvis;
however, t here does
not seem to be someone in t his position
today. T he p assing of the King of
Pop h as r eminded
me that t here is not
a single band with
the same u niversal
appeal.
I b elieve t his age h as
p assed.
C onsidering
t he
d iversity of music today, I
doubt t here w ill b e an a rtist
t hat a ppeals to t he m ajority
of p eople. T his i s s omething
t o look on with n ostalgia, but
also we should look how f ar
music h as come.
What s tarted as simple
expressions of self and culture h as become of an industry that has split into g enres
to f it every t aste. The I nternet
has made it even easier to f ind
new music to suit o ne's t aste.
The diversity of music h as
changed, which can be seen
by b reaking down g enres. For
example, what was once j ust
rock is now s oft r ock, h eavy
r ock, m etal, i ndustrial, p op
r ock, blues r ock, c ountry r ock,
and so on.
With so many o ptions now,
each a ppealing t o d ifferent
m arkets, everyone can find
or m ake music t o suit their
t astes. Yet, we cannot forget
a t ime when some a rtists took
t he world by s torm and revolutionized music. I doubt it can
b e done a gain, but I will leave
t hat t o t he music makers.

N ative plant presentation packs auditorium
BY BLAINE HMOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It was standing room only
in A rts 111 on the evening of
Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen
to a p resentation on the u ses of
indigenous and endemic plant
species. This p resentation
was j ust another class session
for t hose in P rofessor S mall's
VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World
C ultures. But many of t hose
f illing t he room t his evening
were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the
n ative peoples with whom we
share t his land today.
Those a ttending sought to
c onnect with those who have
been the k eepers of t his land
f or m illennia prior to t he
a rrival of Western peoples.
The t itle of the p resentation,
" Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern
C alifornia I ndians," may have
led one to expect a very d ry
c ollegiate discussion of plant,
genus and species followed by
d etails of the plants f unctions
among Southern C alifornia
N ative Indian Tribes.
Anyone a ttending with "the
expectation to receive such
a s cientifically e nlightening
e xperience would have come
away very d isappointed. For
anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was
a delight.
The p rofessor delivered the
p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by
c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a
Luiseno basket weaver who
teaches basket weaving on the
Pechanga r eservation at the
Pechanga
C Mmmakilawish
School. It was a sentimental
j ourney back in t ime to re-visit
the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few
side t rips t o d iscuss some of
the other u seful plant species
in the area. Vassar brought j oy
and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on
the s pecific plant applications
than she did on the e ssential
and h armonious c o-existence
between the p lants and the
indigenous people. Her mother
was in the audience f or the
evening and also c ontributed
some of h er wisdom t o t he
conversation.
In her s torytelling it was
clear that m odern society was
i mpacting the local t ribes,
and l ocal p lants, both in a less
than positive m anner. But the
stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he
knowledge of her own t ribes
basket weaving had been lost,
and was now being r eborn
through the g uidance of elders
among other t ribes. She is
clearly p assionate about basket
weaving, and her enthusiasm
to inspire and guide a new
generation of basket weavers
is u nbounded. Basket weaving
locally d epends on the Juncus
p lant, a g rass species whose
population is being t hreatened
by non-native invasive species
such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter
into t he equation of collecting
m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional,
but a re also in t heir own right
g reat works of a rt.
Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus
t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown
stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison
oak w ithin the r eeds of the
J uncus p lant; Vassar described
methods" she used to p rotect
h erself f rom the vicious bite
of t he poison oak oil as she
h arvested plants for her c raft.
A lso t hroughout history, t here
have been no b oundaries to
c ollecting plant?, and today
f ences and b orders impinge on
the t radition i tself. A s the local
t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir
old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s
who have c reated physical and
s piritual b arriers can c reate
new pathways to bridge these
t wo c ultures t ogether in living
harmony.
Perhaps the best way to
d escribe the event was a s an
i ntercultural conversation, as
r eminiscence to old ways, and
an introduction for those who
were unaware that t here are
ways to e xperience l ife's great
j oy without the relentless pur-
suit of m onetary and m aterial
r ewards. Spending t he e vening
l istening and c onnecting was
c ertainly a reward in i tself.

S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents
THE PRIDE
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
My name is James Roche. I'm a
student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm
here at Cal State San Marcos on
a yearlong exchange program.
Anyone heard of the English city
of York? Don't worry, you're not
the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away
from London. So being from the
north of E ngla^, the opportunity
to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down.
For most international students
thinking about, studying abroad,
California is theprime choice; the
sun, sand and sea on your doorstep
everyday is a dream come true!
I arrived. here a couple of
weeks earlier than I was required
to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy
the place before the classes
started. Once those two weeks
were up I had to move into the
University Village Apartments,
which was a bit strange initially
for me as everyone at university
in England has their own room.
I think I've been lucky because I
get along with my roommate and
the other guys in my apartment.
This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get
along with someone who you will
be living in the same room for the
next six months to a year. The
people that I have met out here
have been nice and welcoming,
and I already knew a few people
before I came across the pond.
This is due to them coming to
my university in England on an
exchange program. This is also
how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent
seems to be a nice thing to have
here as it's an easy way to start up
a conversation and most people
seem to like it.
I'm taking Mass Media classes
here and have found them quite
interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for
example we recently talked about
American Idol and it was nice to
mention that Britain had the idea
for that show first! The budget
crisis was a serious shock to me
though as I was not made aware
anything like this could happen
when I applied to CSUSM. I
have had one class cancelled
already which was both worrying and annoying at the same
time. I was also astounded at
the amount of books you have
to buy and the cost, although
speaking to a few people I
think I've been lucky with my
course. I think I'll struggle to
get used to a few things. For
example, why does football
have to be soccer here? That
hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as
ping pong. I know they're the
same thing but it's my English
pride that takes the hit saying
it differently. However, with all
the differences, CSUSM seems
like a great place to come to
and I think I'm going to have a
great year!

O
a nd culture shock
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
Who'd have thought
after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits,
that I wouldn't understand a good majority
of local sayings? It's
simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food
Market (like Cougar Corner, only
British) to pick up a loaf of bread
and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I
follow up with an immediate thank
you only to have the person on the
other side of the register reply with
"cheers." No, we weren't toasting
to my purchase with a large pint of
Guinness, this is a local expression
for "thank you" and/or "have a nice
day."
Everywhere I go this is said
along with varying other says that
I seem to slowly pick up, like the
fact that frenchfriesare known as
chips, then what are Doritos know
as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically
change depending on where you
are in the world and how you're
perceived. I know I got some
strange look when I said "fanny
pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And
with that comes the realization of
culture shock—the idea of being
in a new and foreign place where
things as little as words could
mean completely the opposite. But
it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are
one that will help throughout the
rest of the time living in said coun-
try and it's definitely
something to take back
home.
Speaking of taking
things back home,
accents! They're sexy,
different, and above
all, just plain awesome!
Going to class every
other day puts you at
the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my
dream would be to come sounding
like Daniel Craig or something.
And along with the culture shock,
comes the fact that I myself didn't
know that I had an accent apparently.
According to locals, I'm the one
with the American accent, and
somehow they can pinpoint that
I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply
something that I never thought
about, here I was ready to go to the
UK and gain an accent for myself.
All the while, people already in the
UK were prepping to hear accents
from varying countries, including
theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that
even though almost every country
contains people, buildings, roads,
we're all essentially the same.
We are people, united under the
banner of Homo sapiens. But we
should all strive to learn from the
cultures of others to influence and
better ourselves. So, I propose a
trade, how about the UK brings
over a Chipotle franchise here to
understand the deliciousness of it
(I'm dying for a burrito STAT!).
And in return, America will create
a method to gain cool British and
phrases to better understand our
friends across the pond. Deal?

The proverbial "bubble" is the
newest form of international criticism toward American people.
You've heard of it: the idea that
Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends
beyond our collective ignorance
concerning world politics and
events. It also controls even our
pop cultural preferences. Of
course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its
inhabitants to some degree.
The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles
from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia.
The problem is, the greater part of
international musicians that are
established in America are the
ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes
much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest
and most powerful record labels
currently call the States home.
Seeing as how artists like
Mariah Carey hog even the World
Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international
musicians is to do just that: hunt.
I offer the following artists under
the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an
American as well and can only go
as far as the Internet may take me.
Onward, I say!
Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the
success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer
and producer Allah Rakha "A.R."
Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native
India before "Jai Ho" came to the
States. He's worked with several
Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn
out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as
well as in Indian communities in
Europe.
Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna
Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop
singer of Russian origin. She
gained popularity throughout the
90s and early 2000s with the rise
in mainstream Anime interest,
and the majority of her fanbase is
still in Japan. The language Origa
sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than
one language in the same song.
Though she is no longer an active
artist in Russian, the Japanese still
can't get enough.
Polish music culture is unusual
because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the
charts. Rather, Poland has a huge
death metal scene, with the band
Vader at the forefront. As you'd
imagine, the band took their name
from the Star Wars series, and
their style certainly reflects the
character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the
THE P RIDE

Czech Republic, Vader satiates
their fans' desire for the best death
metal in Eastern Europe.
For over 25 years, Egyptian
musician Amr Diab released and
continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's
smashed album sales records
throughout the Middle East and is
as loved today as in the mid-80s
when he first came to prominence.
His dance-style music crosses
over to places including Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia,
and is considered the favorite of
all Arab pop singers.
The planet is a big place, and the
musical world is even larger. Each
of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and
reasons for why its people enjoy
the music they do. Language is
an understandable barrier, but the
love of music is unanimous.
A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M
BY TRISH CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Knowing a successful author
brings reality to the forefront and is
no longer a distant hypothetical for
aspiring student writers on campus.
The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's
Clarke Field House in the Grand
Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was
a grand evening filled with buzz
and excitement.
Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely
published author with work ranging
from poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
The National Critics Circle Fiction
Award in 1993 nominated Martin
for "The Gothic Twilight." His most
recent collection is "The Possibility
of Music." He graduated from New
York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection
"Changing the Subject," will debut
in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press.
Professor Mark Wallace started
the literary series on campus and
over the years brought real world
experience to the academic scene.
His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and
discuss published work with the
authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had
attended the event as a required
assignment. However, she said, "I
would have come even if it wasn't
an assignment, because [Martin] is
a great writer and I can learn something from him."
The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent
and preconceived notions. He read
a story inspired by illegal whaling
practices and by Herman Melville's «
Moby Dick. He forewarned us
about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals
for their own self-serving.
Student Jeannine Clark' had
mixed feelings on this aspect of
on Martin's writing. She said,
"Stephen-Paul Martin obviously
is a very compassionate man with
a big heart for animals. At times
though, I felt like he had an agenda
to push and that got in the way of
the writing for me." She followed
by adding, "I do think the reading
series is important for literature and
writing students so that we get the
chance to see contemporary writers
read and discuss their work." ;
Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis.
Last year there were three Literary
Series events. This semester there
will only be two events not because
of lack of demand but because of
lack of funding.
"It's like they cut the things that
help us most. I'm here because I
want to be a good writer. Who else
can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying
for?" said student Rachel Busnardo.

Shoved in the back of my
drawers and stuck in the crevices
of my refrigerator are colorful
packets of single serving sauces.
I get them with tacos, chicken
nuggets, french f ries and chow
mien. They span great lengths of
the. fast food and takeout culinary
landscape. I am a hopeless packrat of packets, never throwing
anything out because of the slim
chance I might need it, whatever
it may be. Finally came a day
when my husband sat me down
calmly and said, "Use it or lose
it." Out of fear of jny collection
of condiments going to t he trash,
I turned my stash into dinner.
Condiments are expensive. To
buy a whole bottle of soy sauce
when all you need is a splash can
be overwhelming on the pocket
book. In these two recipes I have
used a bevy of basics such as
mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup,
Tabasco, soy sauce, sugar, and
even salt and pepper. I would
also like to make a special thanks
to Chik-Fil-A who has a lovely
selection of condiments j ust lying
out there in the open waiting for
customers to choose.
The sauce for my macaroni
salad is basic and you can use
it for tuna salad, chicken salad,
even coleslaw. Also, BBQ sauce
is a basic combination of sugar
and ketchup, as used in my
chicken recipe. So save those
packets of condiments and get
creative.

A window iii the north stairwell
of Academic Hall between the first
and second floors was smashed out
on January 20 sometime around 10
a.m. according to CSUSM police.
Some of the glass fell on an
unidentified female student sitting
below the window. When officers
arrived on the scene shortly thereafter she was taken to Student Health
Services where glass was removed
from her hair and clothing.
Investigating University Police
Officer Hernandez described the
victim as being "very lucky" that she
escaped serious injury or death as
the average size of the larger shards
of glass was "six to twelve inches in
length". The victim was apparently

First doctorate offered at
CSUSM
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education.
The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is
offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program
at the University of California, San Diego
and San Diego State University.
The program focuses on advanced
training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions.
"The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each
student designs a research study and
during the initial two years of the program
as part of the required coursework. We
have designed the program to maximize
the time the students have to study and
engage in class work, as well as complete
the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the
students' ability to complete the disser-

tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer
Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral
program for CSUSM.
There are 18 students in the first cohort
of the program.
"With the inception of this program,
Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of
leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for
the K-12 students in our region. This
program will enable the candidates to
translate the best theory into practice.
It reflects our on-going commitment to
the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen
Haynes.
Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
"This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission.
Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this
program. I look forward to seeing the
contributions these doctoral students
make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State
San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath.
The Black Student Union (BSU) along
with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the
African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture
Series, the Office of the Dean of Students,
the Office of Student and Residential Life
(SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are
kicking off Black History Month early with
an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled
"Introduction to Black History Month," in
Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m..
In total there are eight events planned
by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The
number of events this year is up from the
five events held on campus last February.
The President of the BSU Onyinyeh
"Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an
"increase in membership (in the BSU)...
not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at
CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other."
Udeh expressed her goal of getting
African-American students," to come
together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it
would really make a great impact on our
fellow achievers (students)."
"The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy
themselves. I would like them to come out
and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh.
Although the Black Student Union is
the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh
expressed gratitude towards and gave
credit to the cosponsors of the event
saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai,
the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard,
SRL .... all have really given the BSU so
much support and encouragement during
all the planning of these events. They have
really contributed a whole lot to make sure
everything runs smoothly. Without these
other organizations I don't know how the
BSU could have done it."
According to the U.S. Department of
State website, Black History Month has

been celebrated since February
1976. Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the
first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association
for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH)
determines the yearly theme for
Black History Month. This
year's theme is the 100 year
anniversary of the beginning of
the Niagara Movement.
According to the Journal
of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded
by civil rights activist W.E.B
DuBois in 1905 in Niagara
Falls, Canada with the goals
of winning voting rights for
WANTED
African Americans, ending
school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism
and prejudice. The movement
failed to win widespread support from blacks although many
of its ideas were later adopted
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) when it was
founded in 1909. In 1910 the
Niagara Movement officially
disbanded.

Fieldhouse: More than a

Different ways to utilize our campus gymnasium
BY PATRICK LONG
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos Field House/
University Student Union offers a wide
variety of amenities to assist students on
campus. The Field House is f unded by
student fees every semester and has yet to
be used to its f ull potential and has many
activities to offer students at no additional
cost.

building. The weight room is filled with
modern equipment from free weights to
cardio equipment. The workout areas offer
not only an up-to-date weight room but
also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by
the Associated Student Union.
Classes are offered to students on many
topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and
wellness programs for students, faculty
and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field
House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added
that she would be interested to hear from
students and staff on their desire for any
particular health or wellness topic for a
class. These well developed classes are
designed to aid students in their college
life and beyond.
The Field House is hosting a Wellness
Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from
11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors,
health resources, food and massage tables.
Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers.
Also worthwhile is the availability
of spaces set aside for students to hold
meetings or gatherings. According to the
campus website, the Field House offers
plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets.
The meeting rooms can be utilized by
any group or organization, with students
having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a
great place to hold meeting for clubs and
organizations.
For more information regarding a particular class contact Devan Romero, Fitness Coordinator, at 760-750-7407 or

How to doal with the
price of textbooks
BY ZACH SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
"The price of textbooks," say it out loud
and count how many students reflexively
spit. There really is too much empathy
within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my
soap box, but the dirt has already worked
itself in between my teeth.
"They publish a new edition even when
they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or
cd supplement that you never use but that
greatly affects price and re-sale." These
sentiments don't fester out from only
myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the
front of the buy-back line; they come from
the proprietor of our local off-campus
bookstore.
What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks
lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that
you are to blame. No, not the publishers,
not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to
the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or
Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just
because it was closer is faster is 'easier'.
Actually, there's a very good chance
that you had to park down in the dirt, in
which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography
and topography. So you, try saying this
out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are
so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or
other protective eyewear first. And even
if you did spit it on the man by completely
circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet
you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which
you know would be much sexier if they'd
trim it down to only the chapters you'll
read, and even cheaper to photocopy if
purged of everything you won't remember
after the class.
I bet you also didn't ask your professor
to do more than sigh and shake their heads
at how expensive and under-funded the
worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that
doesn't make these books any cheaper.
Make sure they tell you where to get these
books at cheaper used prices. Make sure
they say it's okay to not have your book
till a few weeks into the class and in the
meantime borrow it from someone else
or lean against a dark corner in the book-
store. Don't photocopy it, that would be
as unethical as price gouging, and that
might get you in trouble if anyone from
the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines.
Most of all, talk to your class to make the
class make the professor promise not to use
any new editions for the next four years.
This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who
want to use contraception, this is just how
many keeper books you could buy with the
price of one you're hoping to return. This

Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling
BY BRIAN REICHERT
Pride Staff Writer
Why not challenge yourself
by studying abroad in a different
country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program
is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few
applications and getting personal
recommendations. After that,
you can choose to study in such
countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France.
Each year, there are more student
foreign exchanges opening up in
all parts of the world. Studying
Abroad with California State has
many other advantages as well.
Not only does your home campus
offer more support than any other
system, but it's very affordable as
well. A potential student only
has to pay Cal State tuition and
all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to
all expenses. Also, this is the only
program that lasts two straight
semesters, so students really have
a chance to get acquainted with a
different culture.
Jan Stockey has the title of
the Cal State San Marcos Study
Abroad Coordinator, here on
campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing
important international information, and overall recruitment
for future programs. In a recent
interview she stated "Most of
the students tell me it's the best
decision they've ever made."
After an informative conversation with the coordinator who
greets everyone with a warm
smile, she concluded saying that
"students always come back and
they have wonderful stories of

price then return it, now. If you think
you can look your professor in the eye ask
them if they benefit in any way from the
sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing
to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not
at all and think back to those days when
the whole class got together and took that
walk, somewhere between a field trip and
a bathroom break, to get their textbooks
from the library.
Buy it used or not at all, or become a
ranting English major who has that luxury
every semester. And even if someone else
is paying for them, especially if someone
else is paying for them, the least you can
do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook.
the places they've seen, the great
friendships they've made, and
how much they've learned about
themselves. Believe it or not,
these are not marketing lines;
this is the actual feedback that
students give me every year.
I have also had the chance to
study abroad through Cal State
San Marcos. I can definitely
say that the whole experience
changed my life entirely. I had
the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling
capital is located right next to
the Andes Mountains and I had
the chance to both live and learn
in a culture which is definitely
modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at
least once in your college career.
You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and
many international friends. A fter
all, it's easier than you think and
you never know about something
until you experience it for yourselves.

don't want this to happen

that people are losing their

President Bush constantly
says he "doesn't want to
push problems to future
presidents or the future
generations," but what we
don't realize is that many
times, he is creating more
problems than solutions.
Last week we saw a set of
extravagant victory parties
for the elected President.
I'm not saying that this
president doesn't deserve
an inauguration, but 50
million is a lot of money.
According to Timothy
Dwyer, Washington
Post Staff Writer, "The
inauguration is expected
st
to be one of the most
expensive in history."
They report that the cost
to us tax payers for the 3
days of events will top 50
million. I think this a bit
outrageous especially since
we are in "war time." The
last inauguration (2001)
cost 40 million which is
25% more expensive that
the inauguration in 1997.
So during the next few
years I want all of you
to be skeptical of what
Bush is trying to do for
the country. Especially
the fiscal conservatives
on this campus, ask your
self, is every thing this
president done worth it?
Has he eliminated terrorist
activity or spawned a new
breeding for extremist
Muslims wanting to join
Al-Queda? Is taking a go it
alone policy going to help
us in the so-called "War on
Terror"? In every solution
there are always positives
and negatives, but this
administration seems to
really dismiss the negatives
very quickly. Keep asking
all politicians their plans,
left and right. Ask them:
Is this a solution, or does
it just create a lot more
problems? I personally
feel many actions by
this government will not
be beneficial to us now,
tomorrow, and in the
future. But it takes more
than just the opposition
party tofixthe problem.
We the people mustriseup
and demand accountability
or threaten these elected
officials with their jobs in
2006.

"Assault on Precinct 13" is
a clash between a cop thriller,
a morality tale and occasional
humor. These genres work
well together and the film gives
them their moments. But it also
employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call
"The Rio Bravo Syndrome."
You'll know why in a minute.
Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A
stormy New Years Eve leaves two
cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus
transfer is delayed by a highway
accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one
of the prisoners is a notorious cop
killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a
small army tries to invade the
station supposedly to free the cop
killer. The cops and the prisoners
team up to defend the station and
deal with traitors among them.
See, almost identical to the plot
of "Rio Bravo."
The two cops are Jake Roenick

a quick cool about everything.

in his eyes. Fishburne can carry
any film with just his presence.
Hawke is no John Wayne, but
playing the idealistic honorable
cop once again (Training Day),
isn't cliché or boring, just assured
that he can do it and do it well.
After seeing thisfilmand other
recent cop films, such as "Narc,"
"Training Day" and "Dark Blue,"
the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the
realism of being a cop. They are
out of shape, have families that
worry, struggle to pay the bills,
cope with alcohol and risk their
lives. For that, I am grateful.

Several ways fulfill your
the CSUSM area
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Whether new to CSUSM or a returning student, one common theme
unites both: the search for good food. While some students simply stick to
the school cafeteria, many other options also abound and there is actually
a wide range of great eateries in close proximity to campus.
The first and closest restaurant
you need to know about is Mr. Taco.
Just a quickfiveto ten minute walk
across the street, Mr. Taco is a must
not only for its reasonable prices but
also the fact that you do not have to
lose a great parking space to go eat
there.
Most anything that falls in the
A little further down the
road on Twin Oaks Valley
Road and just past the
entrance for the Highway 78
is the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Although prices are a step or

$10-$20), the Old Spaghetti
Factory offers a good sit

of Italian food. The private

the Old Spaghetti Factory are
excellent for small groups

crave, or appetizers, salad,
and desert as well, the Spa-

ghetti Factory is a good
choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially
boast its wide range of pastas.
As waiter and Cai State San
Marcos senior Tom Watson
notes, "everybody loves our
spumoni and you can't buy it
in stores!"
If you don't mind a little drive, a
whole host of notable restaurants
can be found one exit west on the 78,
off San Marcos Boulevard. The San
Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is
about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to
visit.
Although the number of dishes
available may not be as extensive as
the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery
does offer a range of styles of food,
including everything from hamburg-
ers to pasta to salad and even seafood.
Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos
Brewery does offer one thing other
places near campus don't-their own
beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal
Stout, which is a terrific dark beer
and must for connoisseur on campus.
Still, if something a little stronger is
desired after a tough day of classes
there are two small pubs across the
street, Penny Lane and Churchill's,
which are also worth a visit.
Also on "restaurant row," and a
good choice for lunch, is Submarina.
A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a
large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices
usually in the $5-$10 range.
"The quality of our food is top
notch," notes Kenda Evans who
shares ownership with her husband.
Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food,
high grade meats, and large portions.
Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs.
And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice
atmosphere inside, as does the quick
and friendly service.
Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are
just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they
are all definitely worth a visit.

The Federal
Financial Aid
Deadline Is
Approaching
By JEANNE RAUPP SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
With college costs and fees
increasing every semester, many
students are looking for ways
to subsidize their education
costs. For several years, the U.S.
Department of Education (DOE)
and the State of California have
made financial aid available
through a program called the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The deadline
for applying for student aid for
the 2003/2004 academic year is
March 3.
Anyone with a high school
diploma or General Education
Development (GED) certificate
is eligible to apply for needbased student aid. The DOE
web site lists all the documents
that an applicant must submit as
part of the process, including a
social security number, a driver's
license (if any), tax returns, and
bank statements.

Lady Cougars Finish 12th at Lady Aztec Invite
THE PRIDE
By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN
Pride Staff Writer
'rising water,' [which means that when] you are
standing in wet ground and your feet make the
water rise, you can move your ball."
The CSUSM women's golf team opened their
spring season by finishing in 12th place with a
score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring
Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University.
The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club,
consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5,
885 yard par 72 course.
On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first
round to finish in 39th with a second round total of
164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167
(83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while
Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot
176 (83-93) to finish 72nd.
This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times
to begin their game, these golfers were assigned
different holes to start at, enabling the competing
teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the
signal of an actual shotgun.
After the opening day of the tournament, the lady
Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys
leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior
Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83
(41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore
Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with
senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes
behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a
score of 85 (43-42).
When commenting on the challenges of the
course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos
[Country Club] is a very difficult course in many
ways. The greens for the tournament were very
unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet
and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times
the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy
places."
She explained that in order to find relief, "you
have to find the nearest point where you can drop
your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole.
You have to make sure with your group whether it
is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called

When asked how he felt about how the team did
in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who
played is capable of doing great things on the golf
course." When inquiring about requirements for
the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that
our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf
stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals.
Though it was University of Kansas who placed
first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech
pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302)
pushing University of Kansas to second place with
a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a
two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620
(305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620
(310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State
University with 622 (311-311).
Thys commented on her goals for season. "My
personal goals for the season are to attend every
tournament. I am focused on keeping my game
as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec
Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen
for the team, I know we can place in the top three
at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on
that. We have a strong team, as well as two great
girls who are about to graduate, and who I know
would love to see us go out with a huge boom."
The next tournament for the women's golf team
will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San
Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club
through March 3rd and 4th.

CSUSM students will soon
have at their disposal a state of the
artfieldhouse, located west of the
near-completed student housing.
Scheduled to be completed by the
end of this summer, the facility is
the brainchild of ASI, along with
many other intimate partners.
According to the campus website,
its purpose is to serve "as the
center of the campus community,
by developing and maintaining
facilities which enhance the
quality of campus life, and [by
supporting] the educational
mission of the University through
social, recreational, cultural and
educational programs." It will also
be the base camp for the future
physical education program.

past," Helene donated what would
be the largest single donation
from a living person in CSUSM's,
at that point, 10-year history,
totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics
was Gordon's life in so many
ways," Helene reminisced in an
interview with Coast News, "The
field house is a fine way to honor
him and to help so many young
adults."
In addition to the $1.2 million
donation, Helene's endowment
was instrumental in obtaining a
matching grant from the Kresge
Foundation. With just under a
third of the estimated $7.1 million
cost accounted for, CSUSM
students voted in October 1998
to increase student union fees for
full-time and part-time students
to $50 each semester, in order
to raise additional support for
the field house. The plan is to
raise approximately $4.7 million
over the next four to five years.
The rest of the money has
come from private donations,
approximately $2.5 million at last
count, according to Arlene Ruiz,
assistant to the vice president of
External Affairs.

Even A Blizzard Can't
Chill The Fire In Her Soul TO HIGH GEAR!
By ERIK ROPER
Pride Staff Writer
Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm
in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos
community members came to hear
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak
about the life and times of Norton.
Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was
scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour
throughout the US. The tour is meant to
promote the recently completed biography
by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire
In My Soul The book came out about a
month ago and is already in its second
printing.
Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard
that was swirling about the east coast at
that time last week, Norton was not able
to attend since all flights in her area had
been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn
Brown welcomed those in attendance and
gave them the standard, "We've got good
news and bad news..." line, an audible
sigh could be heard from the crowd of
approximately fifty people. But even
the bad news was not as bad as it could
have been, because shortly after Brown's
introductory remarks, audience members
were treated to the disembodied voice of
Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton
apologized profusely for not being able to
attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out
of California - and the loss is all mine."
Fortunately though, her biographer,
Lester, was able to attend and speak very
eloquently about the extraordinary life of
Norton.
Lester began her remarks by speaking
about how she had known Norton for
many years and that when shefirstdecided
to write a biography about a strong and
accomplished woman Norton was not
the first woman who came to mind. But
one day while lunching together in DC,
Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's
biography and Norton instantly liked the
idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl,
come on down to Washington and let's get
to work!"
So approximately four years ago Lester
started working with iNorton, ".. .one
chapter at a time." She described the
former civil rights activist and currently
tenured law professor at Georgetown
University as a challenging subject, "in a
number of ways. She's very argumentative,
which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so
quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind
is so broad. When working with her I often
felt like my mind was still stuck in the
sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century."
In the spirit of modernity, those in
attendance were treated to more virtual
Norton as she appeared larger than life
on the ARTS 240 video screen. The video
was a recording, from a C-SPAN2 taping
of a book tour stop, which Norton and
Lester had made at Howard University. On
the video screen, viewers were treated to
Norton's views on a number of topics such

Will t he W ar o n
Terrorism Bring
A nother Boon f or
Drug Traffickers?
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Since the end of WWII, one of the most
consister^ and generous benefactors of
international drug traffickers has been the
American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist
Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949,
trade in opium and heroin played a major role in
financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of
communism.
Nationalist forces driven out of southern China
into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup
and rearm for an invasion of the now communist
controlled China. These nationalist forces were
trained, and their subsequent incursion into
communist China was largely planned by the CIA.
Nationalist forces financed the operation almost
entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium
that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the
United States and other western nations.
Nationalist forces invaded China from their
Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated
and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military
operations by the Burmese army and Chinese
communists largely eliminated the Nationalists
forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce;
however, the opium syndicate established by the
nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior
to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced
very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the
activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world.
In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of
omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the
activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos,
the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a
more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma,
prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little
opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to
récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao
and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long
grown opium for local drug traffickers and with
the CIA's encouragement they began growing it
in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an
increasingly bloody war against the communists.
In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported
raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern
Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant
heroin found its way onto American streets and to
American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not
directly involved in moving the processed heroin,
but they were well aware of where it was going. In
fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao
Ky was personally involved in importing heroin
from Laos to South Vietnam.
These are not thé paranoid assertions of a
disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred
McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts
in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm
Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify
every sentence in his book. The CIA actually
obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages
expurgated.
In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called
for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct
in order increase the intelligence agencies'
effectiveness in combating international terrorism.
These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA
in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played
a major role in furthering international drug
traffic while largely failing to stop communism in
Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as
to what will be the nature of the next plague this
"intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an
unrestricted war on international terrorism.
�About CSUSM Disabled Parking
Dear Editors:
I am both a disabled person (registered
with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard
properly displayed and my student parking
permit properly displayed, I am allowed to
park, pursuant to the California public policy
stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone
restricted for time or otherwise restricted per
21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted
by local ordinance.
VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San
Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking.
However, the law of this state does NOT
allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans.
In fact, California public policy specifically
states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and
exits. When I started this semester, CSU
placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked
parking slots just south of the dome and the

Response to anti-war article
Mr. (Gabriel) Martin:
I gotta hand it to you, your
article really tugged on my heartstrings. It's just to bad your position is based on little more than
emotions and naivety, rather than
logic and fact. The reality of the
coming war is simple: Saddam
has left us no other option but to
use force. And it amazes me that
so many people like you (in the
ostrich brigade), continue to have
your heads in the sand. Since the
Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has
broken every treaty, UN resolu-
tion, and term of surrender that
he agreed to. He's also tried to
shoot down and KILL our pilots
who patrol the no-fly zones over
700 times. In addition, he has-at
some point-used every weapon
in his arsenal including chemical
weapons. In Bush's last speech,
he listed a number of chemical
and biological weapons he has
yet to get rid of. We also know
that he has brought in scientists
to build nuclear warheads, which
he would love to use against
our allies, or us, or sell them
to a terrorist group that would

do the same. And it would only
be a matter of time before he
did get nukes if people like you
were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/
negotiation game (which NEVER
works with lawless dictators).
You have got to realize that
there are evil people in this world
who only listen to one thing: The
language of force. Do you think
the British would have just got
up and left back in 1776 without
being forced out? Did Hitler listen
to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do
you really think 100 UN weapons
inspectors in a country the size
of California are enough disarm
this guy? That is ridiculous! You
also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much
pity you feel for all the innocent
people who may die. Well guess
what; I can tell as a former US
Army soldier that we go out of
our way — more than any other
country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason
people do get killed is because
our third-world enemies usually
hide among civilians and use
them as shields, hoping we won't
come after them. In addition, a lot
more innocent people are will die
as a result of Saddam's quest for
nukes if we don't get rid of him.
Listen, nobody likes war. Not
even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting
shot at. But sometimes you do
have to fight for peace in order to
protect your way of life, and that
is a reality you need to realize.
So when the removal of Saddam
begins, are you going to support
our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend?
I hope you and every anti-war
protester will think about this:
the cost of freedom. Guess what,
freedom is not free. If you doubt
that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It
costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize.

I would like to respond to
Robert Williams' comments in
the article dated 2/11/03 "State
of the Campus Address." In this
article he states! "this semester
there is ample parking, even
during the busiest times." I was
incredulous when I read this.
Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't
spent hours driving around the
various parking lots looking for
a parking place. Nor, has he been
'stalked' by students wanting a
parking space. I applauded the
curb-parking put in place last
semester, and although there was
a "tight crunch" for parking last
semester, it appears just as bad, if
not worse this semester!
Williams? Although I don't agree
with increased parking fees I do
understand the need. But, I do
feel as though I've been slapped
in the face when the parking fees
have increased dramatically, yet
finding parking when you need it
is very dismal. Personally, I had
planned on arriving to school
this semester in time for my 11:
30 a.m. classes. I have had to
rearrange my schedule to arrive
at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to
obtain a parking space without
having to drive around forever!
Please tell me where this "ample"
parking is, especially during the
busiest hours.
Thank you,
So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed
benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies
Response:
Is There
Liberal Bias
at Cal State
San Marcos?
Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's
Feb.18 article, I find it amusing
how anyone would question
liberal bias from an educational
perspective when conservative
ideologies have been constantly
shoved down our throats from the
time of infancy.
In order for this society to
succeed with its capitalistic, elite
way of thought, the conservatives
would like to have America
believe their standards, including
correct
"moral"
thinking,
religious beliefs and systems of
oppression, should be mainstream
thought. In a time where
inequalities are more prevalent
than ever, to cry conservative
is to condone suppression, stray
from an egalitarian model and
keep society at status quo.
Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are
we) fooling students into thinking
that in order to be a 'free thinker'
that they must be indoctrinated
by liberalism?" The answer is
that we're not. By providing
students with the opportunity
to explore creatively and utilize
what C. Wright Mills called
a "sociological imagination,"
educational institutions are
simply suggesting that society
explore other ways of thinking.
Liberalism implies that we do not
have to conform to conservative
ways of thought and potentially
risk appearing as mechanical,
docile, assembly line like robots.
We do not have to accept
everything the media feeds
us at face value or submit
to authoritarian hierarchies.
Furthermore, if the push
for liberalism is becoming
an issue through so-called
"indoctrination" via faculty then
I applaud their misconstrued
achievements at "brain-washing"
conservatives into more liberal
ways of thinking. Obviously,
advocating
progressive
reformation is not biased, only
the deconstruction of the biased
realities that already exist within
our society.

CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA
By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7.
By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ
Pride StaffWriter
Ever since voters decided to hold
California's first ever recall election
everyone has been talking, debating,
predicting and being entertained by all
the media chatter.
The whole nation was watching.
Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as
Governor? Or would voters choose one
of the 135 candidates running against
him?
Now the election is over, when the
official results are announced, Davis
will hand the reigns of the state over to
Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Now, election buzz is dying down
and CSUSM students hope that Gov.
Schwarzenegger will do right by

CSUSM students had differing

Some students are confident
that voters have made the

Schwarzenegger.
"I think he's well qualified to

Mike Markarian.
"I'm glad he won because

what California needs."

Urges Change,
Budget Management
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Editor in Cheif
While budget cuts gouge the California State
University (CSU) system, students and teachers are
on the lookout to make sure their needs are met.
Classroom instruction, class size, and funding
are now protected by provisions made by the
California Faculty Association (CFA).
The CFA created a document in July 2003
to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e
assigned at campus facilities.
Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU
chancellor sent the
document to campus |$
administrators before
the fall semester
started. If need be,
the chancellor said he
would investigate and
correct administrators
that didn't follow the
guidelines.
At CSUSM some
teachers think that
administration isn't
doing enough. "They

really haven't come
to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George
Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA.
The CFA's document, called the Supplemental
Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate
and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by
the legislative budget committees and promotes
cooperation between the CFA and the CSU.

Clubs Hindered By
Copy Right Laws
By DANIELLE BOLDT
Pride StaffWriter
Various clubs show documentaries on campus in
order to attract and inform students of issues that
they represent, however, because of Copy Right
Laws and budget cuts these film showings have
been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the
livelihood of these organizations on campus.
"It cost an estimated $400 to buy public
ownership of a given film. The question becomes
which clubs will receive money, and how much?"
said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs.
Because of the cost of distribution rights and
Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to
allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet
shown a film this semester.

Poullard said.
Due t o t he e ffects of
California's budget crisis,
there is a continual impact
on student involvement at Cai
State San Marcos. With t he
large cut backs to California
State Universities, there is
not enough money to p ay for
the distribution f ights of these
films. Pollard added that SRL
can only supply a limited
amount of money t o f und
these films.
Erik Roper, Associated
Students, Inc. (ASI) vice
president and external vice
president f or the Progressive
Activist Network (PAN),
mentioned t hree ways t o get
approval of a film's copy
rights. Roper said, " SRL told

gives priority t o the needs of classroom
instruction while requiring reduction in

I n California, the general f und f or
the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the
2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU
website.
" There's going t o have t o b e
t rimming," said Interim President Roy
McTarnaghan. " The needs of student
courses are our number one priority
- getting t hem t o graduate on £ime
is number one."
McTarnaghan said that despite
limitations on enrollment, CSUSM
has more students and less money.

however, reckoned the e ffects of
budget cuts and t hinks changes need
to b e made in handling the budget.
The CFA urges s taff and students
to monitor their campus to ensure
that the CSU complies with t he
SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on
how to monitor budget compliance
at the CFA website.
At CSUSM, among other things,
the budget forced student f ee
increases, class size increases, and
also p art time lecturers were laid

The CFA is very concerned about
the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said.
"Many of these teachers need to pay
the rent and pay for food."
Although t he budget h as had
numerous impacts on students and
s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts
made by administration. "We're
pleased with some steps, but we
believe much more needs t o b e

Diehr is also a professor of

He said he sees t he potential f or

Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for
the college o f business administration
said, " It's premature t o draw that
conclusion at this point. We have j ust
received our fall 2003 budget so no prior
decisions have been made."
The SRL states that prior t o
reducing classes, student services and
library f unding, colleges must reduce
administrative costs.
" The college of business is sticking t o
the supplemental language report to the
best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said.
She added that the college of business

At this point however, Diehr said

Diehr also said t he foundation could

SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help
lessen t he impact of budget reductions.
Diehr said that the foundation should be

people to donate to CSUSM.
" There is no magic bullet for this
budget situation and we can expect
increasing costs if not more budget cuts,"
Diehr said. "This is not going to be over

FLU SEASON IS UPON US
ByRYANMOCK
Pride StaffWriter
As the cold winter months of fall and
winter approach, the cool winds and short
days bring with them the ominous threat of
flu season. Notorious for dripping noses
and aching sinuses, it i s again that time
of year.
Fortunately for the students of Cal State
San Marcos, student tuition pays for f ree

Health Services, and have them administer

A vaccination works by injecting a
healthy subject with antigens, who in
response develop antibodies to battle the
foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous
version of the antigen, the pathogen itself.
Usually vaccinations are constructed to
take care of A or B strains of the sickness.
But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters
over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year.

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

student coordinator of the Programming
Board.
Gladys mentioned that it is essential to
build a community on campus, but that
students r efuse to involve themselves in
the activities and programs here.
Besides a lack of activities on campus,
women have noticed that many of the
single men here are unapproachable.
Men on this campus often objectify
women and go for those who are pretty,
shallow, and generally subtract f rom the
bank of human knowledge when they
speak. This dynamic of male personality
influences women to act the part of the
easy superficial girl in order to get the
guys. It's a never-ending circle with the
result being that the singles here develop
shallow relationships with equally shallow
partners.
Many singles on campus worry about
pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be
concerned about is constructing a campus
community and opening ourselves up to
meet new people. Our goal should be
creating a sense of belonging here at Cal
State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing

Through more activities that promote
relationships we will have life on this
campus. Through more effort from the
students we can create a campus spirit
which encourages interaction. As Gladys
said, "be the spirit you wish to see on
campus."

bar and rushed out of his dorm room.
On his way to class, he met up with his
friend Mike Flores and they walked
together to their psychology class. When
asked about the class he said "It's cool
and it's easy for me and it's fascinating
sometimes because it opens up my mind
to new i deas"
A fter that, he met up with new friends
and went on to his calculus class, where
his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up
with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and
I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep
in the last week," he said.
Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken
quesadillas, worked on homework with his
friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with
his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked
to his last class of the day with his friend
Mike, turned in his homework and went to
the ASI Homecoming celebration outside.
He saw his academic advisor and went
back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie
slept for twenty minutes and went to work.
Ronnie works at a convenience store
on campus. At work, he danced to the
music in the store and made his fellow
Have you ever been sitting next to people
in class and stopped to wonder about their
lives? Who are they? Do they share the
same interests as you? What is college like
for them?
For the next few issues, I plan on
interviewing random students here at
CSUSM and asking them those very same
questions. You will get a chance to see
what a normal day is like for other college
students and how they cope with their .own
home and college lives.
Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old
freshman here at CSUSM and one of the
pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has
many hobbies, including snowboarding,
wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart
racing. One of his favorite hobbies is
making new friends. "I love to talk," he
explained to me, " I used to be really shy,
but I 'm not as shy right now, because I
don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still
shy around girls at first."
It was Monday night and Ronnie had
agreed to his interview in my dorm
room on the floor below his.
Already an acquaintance of my
roommates Erin and Ashley, he
and his own roommates were on
their way down to hang out with
them. With a room f ull of noisy
roommates, we agreed to grab
some chairs, and sit on the f ar side
of the kitchen, a little out of the
range of noise. I asked him about
his day and this is how he began.
Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday
morning and was really tired.
He stayed up late with other
dorm residents and was finding
it very difficult to wake up.
He had been up since 1 a.m.
dancing with his roommates and
friends. Ronnie talked about it:
"I was hyper and really in a
dancing mood because I 'm
excited about the (Masquerade
Ball). We started listening to
music and two girls came over,
so I started dancing and they
were dancing and everyone
was laughing because we were
moving to the beat and I started
dancing with them.
"A couple of my favorite dance
songs came up and we had a
contest about who could dance
the smuttiest. Michael Jackson
came on and I started doing my
Michael Jackson impression and
we ended up getting three noise
complaints.
J uris D octor
"We stopped playing the music
so loud, but we began running
around because we were all on
a triple dose of coffee. A fter that

he said. He went on to explain

but they're not as comfortable
as his t-shirts and when he's
tired, he feels more relaxed in
a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed

Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and
bought plants and appliances to decorate
the float that was being designed for the
Dorms. He worked on homework and then
came to my dorm to visit my roommates,
where he began his interview with me.
A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like
I was in a whirlwind. "You did all that
in one day?" I asked him. " Yes" he
answered, "and I have two papers due
tomorrow for class!" He looked at the
clock in our kitchen. "It's 10:15 and I
still have to write them," he said. I asked
him if he would be starting on them soon.
"Maybe" he answered.

�Hail To The OMBUDSMAN
By MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
One of the interesting aspects of the
position of Ombudsman is that I am
not required to necessarily agree with
what our paper is doing. As such, I am
not terribly distraught over our content
or the direction our paper is heading;
rather, there are minor problems that we
overcome weekly and improve with each
issue.
One such problem I see is the manner
in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The
Pride each week. Therefore, I will be
including the corrections at the end of
my column from now on.
The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the
editors' observations and f rom reader
inquiry. From the onset of the paper's
distribution this semester, I am aware of
two corrections that were overlooked last
week that will be included this week.
As always, I would like to encourage
everybody to keep reading The Pride and
sending me your feedback. Also, take
The Pride home with you and share it
with friends and family so they can get a
sense of what is happening at your school.
A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of
the campus as a whole then The Pride
should be an accurate reflection of the
campus worthy enough to share. Please
remember that I do value the responses I

Note to the Editor
By ALEX ROSALINO
Pride StaffWiiier
I believe that it was stupid for the powers
that be to increase the student fees. That is a
very direct statement and may seem harsh, but
I feel there is no other way to state it. Other
people and I registered in late June for this fall
of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped
due to a sudden student fee increase. They
could have warned all the students about what
they were going to do by sending out e-mails.
My friend received a little card in the mail
stating the financial change and said "I barely
noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask
why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I
wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I
was able to re-register for classes.
By Chris Martin
CSUSM Student
As the writer of the article in question,
78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm"
and a current student at CSUSM, I feel
it pertinent to inform readers that the
so-called "opposition" to the article, or
rather the violators of our civil rights,
failed to confront 78 magazine directly
about their apparent concerns pertaining
to the magazine's content and still remain
anonymous.
The premier issue of 78 was summarily
rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the
circular file for what could be construed
as a protest to my evident lack of morality.
This act strengthens our view point that we
must all be vigilant if we are to maintain
our civil rights on our college campuses.
To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health
Services I ask - what article were you
reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the
majority of University students to drink
and have sex. Having a drink with a
member of the opposite sex to blow off
steam and possibly engage in an act of
protected consensual sex is quite different
f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls
(which) could lead to sexual assault."
Contrary to your opinion, the message
of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the
following. Here are some stereotypes, lets
laugh at them, and by the way, if you're
going to have sex, be responsible. This
was primarily a humor piece with a few
crassly presented common sense pointers.
For those of you who recognized it as such,
congratulations.
[mu.cmmwki
cmm-
Furthermore I find it offensive that you
assume our student body is incapable of
making rational decisions regarding their
sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks
will lead educated adults to commit sexual
assaults.
Your objections make sense only if we
blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of
irony and take items out of context. Those
trained to read critically can clearly see
that the article was carefully constructed
to address both genders. Any perceived
"gender biases" are a result of careless
reading and the injection of the readers'
own preconceptions. I suggest you read
the article again - this time analytically.
78 is alternative media - meaning we
don't have to be for everyone. It also means
we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers
with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's
the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and
open exchanges of ideas regardless of their
popularity - The freedom to have a voice,
to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust
people's competency to make up their
own minds based on all the arguments.
Deciding what information others can
access is best left to fascist regimes. To
produce media in any other manner would
be considered a journalistic travesty not
only by the publication I represent but by
me as well.
Finally, though we disagree, I want to
thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and
offering her opinion publicly and I hope
more people will lend their voices to the
forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are
here for.

A&E
May I Take Your Order?
By JOHNP. SCRIPPS
Pride StaffWriter
Where do we go to eat? Whether out on
that first date, hanging out with friends, or
that special occasion, it's a question that
plagues us all. It is a question that begs
an answer. I took upon myself to find
one. I picked what I thought were the best
restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic
categories: 1) a place to go with friends to
socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3)
the five-star anniversary special.
If you are looking for a social atmosphere
that allows for your underage friends to sit
with you, you'd probably choose a place
like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are
no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one
is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the
hassle of another long commute but, luck is
just around the corner.
There is a place that serves alcohol,
but still allows for your underage friends
to sit with you. They have great meals
and delicious finger foods. The social
setting will allow for you to get a little loud
without offending other patrons. Drum
rollplease.
The answer to all your problems is
the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They
have a whole selection of home brewed,
non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey
ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold
and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities
are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery
is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All
less than two minutes from the dorms!
They have the typical finger foods
like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken
fingers, but also some more interesting
items such as calamari stripsr and a
sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be
American, but there are a few things
that stand out as being different like
the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the
ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The
prices are comparable to TGIF, with an
average amount of $7 to $9 a plate.
If you ever find yourself hungry
while sitting around and watching
television head over to San Marcos
Brewery & Grill. They even have a
take out menu. You can contact the
brewery at (760) 471- 0050.
If you're looking for a place to go
on the ever important first date, look
no f urther than The Old California
Mining Company. They nicely blend
sheik with affordability, which is great
considering you'll need to purchase a
parking pass next semester.
The décor is reminiscent of an Old
Mine. The inside consists chiefly of
mining paraphernalia with wooden
beams, mining carts, lanterns and
shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough
for you to talk. There are enough
conversation pieces on the wall to help
when there's nothing left to say. Just
think; where else could you say things
like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look
at that lantern. By the way, can Î light
your way home?"
There is a really good selection of
steaks. The food, aptly put is American.
If you decide against the consumption
of meat there is a selection of salads
and pastas. The servings are not too
big.
The Old California Mining Company
is a great place for a first date. It's not
too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty
darn good food at a price that will still
let you pay for your books. You also
have the option of ordering your food
for take-out.

San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular
dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row.
Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star
restaurants in San Marcos. However, there
is one located in Old Town off Interstate
5 south, just before you get downtown.
It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip
especially when celebrating an anniversary
or the like. The restaurant in question is
called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant.
I have taken many friends there to prove
my point and have yet to take one that
disagreed with me once they'd finished
their meal. The International Wine & Food

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

Field House:

students who can't afford the

McTarnaghan said that he would like
to see the graduation time reduced, a

more accountability in advisement.

"We have a legal and moral
obligation to provide them with

teacher communication.,
continuation of that trend is in question.
Tracks, a weekly newsletter published for the
faculty and staff by the Office of Communications
stated that in 1990, the total number of students
enrolled at CStJSM was 448. By 1997, enrollment
was up to 4684, and on opening day of the fall 2003
semester, 7,407 students were registered—a number
expected to rise to about 7,800 during the add
period. This is-an increase of 2.7 percent from the
fall 2002 semester.
The State of California is stepping in and
attempting to halt the increase of enrollment.
According to Richard Riehl, Assistant Vice
President of Enrollment Services, this year's fall
headcount is expected to be about the same as last
fall; 7,600 to 7,700. The CSU systern, as a result
of statewide budget cuts has been asked to halt
enrollment growth through 2004-2005. As for
limiting student growth at CSUSM, Riehl said,
"We're at the maximum funding level now."
Jennifer Stewart, a student at CSUSM also noticed
the class size. "Yeah! One of my Professors said it
went from 30 to 47." Stewart likes the increase in
enrollment and said, "It's good, the classrooms are
(full) and there are more people tb meet."
Professor Beavers, a member of the faculty, said
the increase in enrollment is creating a lot more
work for everybody. This includes students fighting
for classes and for faculty turning people away. She
added that, "There is more excitement and a whole
new energy." If class ^izès increase Beavers said
if class size increases too much, there could be
distractions. She wants to let people in classes, but
there is a cost to that, she said. Student and teacher
interaction can also be affected, she said. According
to Professor Beavers, "It takes more work by
everyone to keep the lines of communication open.
Students do have responsibility there as well."

This is not
just a new
semester for
me here at
CSUSM, but more like a new beginning.
I am one of the many who have left the
full-time working world to return to
college and finish the bachelor degree
that I started.. .ummm 8 years ago! „
I do give myself a pat on the back
for choosing to complete my degree
at CSUSM. Although my registration
went a bit awry and I had to crash all my
classes on the first day of school, other
than that hiccup, the faculty and staff
here at the school have been excellent in
answering all my questions and helping
me get situated with classes that I need.
(I have heard horror stories from other
classmates...so I do feel grateful that I
had Such an easy time of this) So far
my classes have been interesting and my
professors have exuded professionalism,
thereby, helping me forget the amount I
just paid out of pocket for tuition fees.
I'm sure many of you are in my same
situation and are repeating the same
phrase to yourself, "please let this be
worth it"! "This" being time, money,
commitment, stress & compromise of
current standard of living. So here I
am, alongside all my new classmates,
making the required sacrifices!
At first I was overjoyed that I woufci be
able to box up all my dull and boring
suits (I actually took a lot of pleasure
in throwing out my pantyhose) but
that one joy of being able to wear jeans
everyday was soon over as my first
week here commenced. Of course there
is no dress code here! It would almost
be considered a human rights violation
if they made us wear dress clothes on
campus. We drive to school only to park
miles away from campus in a dirt lot
(slight exaggeration.. but doesn't it feel
that way?); we sperid our day running up
and down stairs; and we sit in a freezing
or stifling hot classrooms (how hard is
it really to regulate the temperature of
a rdom?).
I thought this transition would be an
easy one, oh how wrong I was! I never
appreciated how nice the "working
world" really is! I desperately miss
my cubicle! My own little private space
where all my happy photos are hung
up; my favorite coffee cup sitting next
to me (with company provided coffee);
the company phone at my fingertips to
make personal calls without using any ,
minutes on my mobile phone; and my
computer to play my favorite music
while I worked. Above all that has been
said, the one thing I miss, most of all is
that nice little amount of money that
would magically appear in my bank
account every 2 weeks!

�Raising the Stakes:
The new definition of a "highly qualified
By LISA GEORGE
Pride Features Editor/Staff Reporter
Subtest
It's the last leg of the race, the stretch before the
finish line. Think of it as a chance to show off what you
know. See it for what it really is, your key to your first
elementary teaching job. The last standardized test you
will ever have to take. The California Basic Education
Skills Test (CBEST)was just the beginning. That made
you a running candidate (not for the gubernatorial election
for California) to be accepted into any teaching credential
program. The successful completion of the California
Subject Examinations for Teachers - Multiple Subject
(CSET- MS) will be your ticket into your first classroom.
It is the last round to your final goal, teacher.
What does this new test entail? The Dean of
the College of Education at CSUSM, Dr. Seve Lilly Ed.d
offered a very thorough explanation regarding this very
issue Wednesday afternoon and evening in COM 206. For
those unable to att your PRIDE Features editor returns to

�Once Upon a Time
in Mexico
BY JOHN P. SCRIPPS
Pride Staff Writer
"Once Upon a Time in Mexico",
the new film by Robert Rodriguez, is the
sequel to the box office smash 'Desperado/
Rodriguez's first big film was a film called
'El Mariachi', a low budget shoot em' up in
which a mariachi rebels against the drug
cartel that is running his town, killing him.
'Desperado' was basically a remake of the
same film for the US with a bigger budget,
a sort o f'El Mariachi' on steroids.
As sequels go, I've seen worse,
but I've seen better too. As for an action
rating, on a 1-10 scale, I'll give it an 8.5.
It was actually very much like 'Bad Boyz
II', which starred Will Smith. Everyone got
shot and almost everyone died. In fact, it's
a wonder that any of the main characters
survived the film at all.
But when it came to story line,
I'm going to have to give this story a 2.
You're probably saying to yourself, "Why
does he care about the story line? Isn't
an action film about action?" Wrong. An
action film may have a lot of action, but it
has a story line and that story line needs
to be simple and fast. This one wasn't. The
foundation of this film was undermined
by some pretty thick subplots. Characters
were : constantly
shooting,
killing,
torturing, maiming, and two-timing each
other. There were times when I was sitting
in the theater and thinking to myself, "Is
this film really only two hours, long?" If
you don't believe me, just look at this list
of contending forces; A huge drug cartel, a
rebellious faction of the Mexican military,
the patriotic (and rocket launcher toting)
citizens of Mexico, a two timing Mexican
Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek star in Colombia Pictures' action
adventure, Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Photo by/Rico Torres

Hot Spots in San Marcos...
Are There Any?
It may not be South Mission or Pacific
Beach, but San Marcos can now lay at least
some claim to the title "College Town." Being
the lone University in North County, CSUSM,
- brings many diverse undergrads to the area.
San Marcos should be the hub of college
nightlife in North County. Alas, that is not
yet the case, however, San Marcos is one of
the fastest growing cities in San Diego County.
College students can and should bring muchneeded spirit and economic fuel to the city.
With that in mind, see where the locals head to
after their studying is done.
Are you gearing u p for next season's
American Idol auditions? Zip and Zack's
Filling Station & Pickup Joint, also in
Restaurant Row, allows you to showcase
your talents every Thursday and Friday with
Karaoke night. If you are looking for a cold
drink, a welcoming crowd, and maybe some
fish and chips, then Penny Lane Pub and Grill
on West San Marcos Boulevard might just be
your pot of gold. You want sushi but you're
on a budget? Boo and Mee Café on West San
Marcos Blvd. has affordable Asian cuisine. If
you are in the mood for an afternoon of sports
on the television, you can check out the newly
opened Boulevard Bar and Grill.
If movies are your bag, San Marcos
boasts Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18
Cinema Theater. Students show your school
I.D for a discount. Maybe you just want to kick
back and enjoy some live music and a latte after
a midterm, then the Mocha Marketplace in Old
Restaurant Row on Friday nights between 7:30
and 10:00pm is the place for you.
There are four Starbuck's coffee
houses in San Marcos, one with patio seating
handy for cram sessions and study groups. It
is conveniently located right across the street
from the campus. So, though the nightlife of
San Diego is right down the 1-15, this modest
"College Town," San Marcos, just may have
something for every taste.

After cruising the country all
summer, promoting his second
perfect bound book, Second Skin,
author Terry Hertzler made a quick
yet impressionable- stop at t he'
Carlsbad library on a Wednesday
night to share a few short stories
and poems with local north county
spectators. The free event to the
public was hosted in the quaint
community room of the Carlsbad
library, decorated only with plastic
chairs, an American flag, and a
humble podium. As people filed
in, young and old, Terry patiently
took a seat among thfe crowd, quietly
waiting to deliver the moving poems
that this audience would later
unreservedly praise.
Indeed, when listening
to Terry deliver his literary work
it becomes instantly apparent that
he has an incomparable gift to
arrange words in an image-filled,
unforgettable manner. He opened
with a piece that he dedicates to a
deceased friend entitled "A Dialogue
With My Favorite Author". The

I was always the kid in the corner,

as his tone carries nostalgia for the
departed friend that he so graciously
dedicated the piece to. He speaks
in a smooth, deep, and animated
voice when performing his poems
concerning war, while speaking
in a light and cheerful tone when
reciting pieces on love and married
life. Terry takes complete control
of the audience, engaging them with
the rise and fall of his delivery. By
the end of his readings, Terry has
managed to transport the audience
through his comical childhood;
his tragic experience as a Vietnam
solider, and his adventures as a
husband. Everyone in attendance
has laughed, and some have been
moved to tears.
