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

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

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

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

They also should help the
nominated teacher gather
the letters of support they
need, as it can be awkward
for the nominee to solicit
these on their own.
Occasionally, a teacher
decides not to participate,
due to the amount of work
involved in compiling
a dossier. The dossier,
due by the first week of
September, is the only thing
the selection committee
looks at while making
its selection. It contains
the nomination letter, a
statement of the nominees'
teaching philosophy, their
curriculum, letters of
support from colleagues
and students, and evidence
of their contributions as
educators, professionals,
and members of the
community.
The selection committee
was chosen through
election in the academic
senate this spring and is
composed of one teacher
from each CSUSM college,
one part-time professor,
one former winner of
the Brakebill award, one
librarian, one student
representative from ASI,
and one administrator. The
members of the committee
are not allowed to nominate
anyone. They review the
dossiers and make their
recommendation to the
president, who announces
the winner to the campus
community during the first
week of October.
The university provides
funds to award the winner.
The amount has changed
over the years; last year it
was $1500. The winner will

of 27 senators. In the

the floor to questions. The
questions ranged in subject

was later proven to not exist,
and the effect of President

30-minute on California.
Hollingsworth explained
that federal laws prohibits
the taxation of tribes without
their consent, and that the
tribes could not produce
the 1.5 million dollars that
Davis attributed to the
Indian gaming revenue.
Hollingsworth also said,
"Davis went into office in
1999 with a record surplus
and has turned it into a
record deficit." He clarified
that Davis did not claim
to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that
the state has had a surplus
while he has been governor.
Finally, Hollingsworth said,
when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would
have to follow the same
movement and commented,
"People will avoid tax
increases, [and] a tax cut will
generate jobs and spending
revenues."

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

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

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

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

to protect our country, and

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

I have had a huge
lesson in humility and
introspection over the past
few weeks. Also, with Earth
Day having just passed, I
have been thinking about
a way in which I can help
make a difference for the
health of the environment.
I have been using the public

walking to work. My car

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

in Canada, there is at least
one pub, or place, where
the students can get an

pubs and restaurants are
great places that promote a
wonderful degree of student

Quite often these pubs are
historic, and are home to the
traditions of the school. In
direct contrast, CSUSM has

I have a lot of pride in

CSUSM, and I believe that
this is a great school with
great potential. However,
even with the incredible

think it's safe to say that the
average price of gasoline
is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the
lowest fevel you can put
into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking
at paying about $24 to fill
it up. For all of you SUV
owners out there, you are
going to be paying more like
$60 for a 30-gallon tank.

Also, you have to take
into account that driving

out there who have to pay

I feel that there is a certain
level of apprehension

sheltering of the student

I am not looking to be
sheltered or made aware
of the dangers of drinking
by the school. I understand
that the school is committed
to helping students make
healthy choices, and does
not want to promote alcohol
abuse to its students.
In a previous interview,
Jonathan Poullard made it
explicitly clear that revenue
from a pub would not aid
in the lowering of tuition,
parking fees, or book prices.
However, I feel that is not

that a percentage of the

the building of a parking

made clear to me that this is
not how financial matters
of CSUSM work currently,
I rebut and say, if the pub
isn't built yet, then why
not make it that way? A
pub would not become a
"cash cow" for the school,
but more so a way for the
school to make money at

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

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

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

work. I might have an internship over
the summer in downtown San Diego that
might require me to rethink my entire
systemrightnow, but, until then, I will do
what I can.
Therefore, I am simply asking you to
think about just what you need your car
for. Think about if it's all that necessary
to drive your car to the store up the street
if you only need a few items. Can you
wait until the following day when you
have more time to do all you errands in
one trip? Can you walk to the beach, to
work, or to get your Starbucks fix? Do
you know somebody that you can carpool
with or that can carpool with you? For all
of us (myself included) that have griped
and complained about that parking fee
increase, which will not be decreasing
in the near future: think of the money
you could save if you could use another
method of transportation, or if there was
someone helping you out with the cost.
Walking is going to keep me in great
shape and since a huge criticism of the
U.S. is our growing obesity problem,
compared to that of Europe, you might
think twice about getting in that car to
go to the next corner where Burger King,
McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more
all wait for your return. I am also put at a
little more at ease knowing that I am doing
what I can to help eliminate extra carbon
monoxide and other dangerous pollutants
into the atmosphere by being one less
vehicle on the road.
I am in no way intending to preach and
if I have made any untrue statements or
judgments, by all means, let me know.
These are just some things that I have
noticed and that I wanted to make a social
comment on. So since Earth Day was on
the 2 2 of April this year and you are
all reading this after the fact, let this be
a reinforcement that awareness begins

The War Debate
Strong Emotions in a
Sensitive Time
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The College Republicans
and Progressive Activist
Network (PAN) hosted the
War Debate
Wednesday
at the Mezzanine Plaza
in a collaboration that is
considered rare because of
their differing ideologies. The
debate was held to discuss the
different aspects of the war,
f rom both a conservative and
a liberal perspective.
The event was mediated
by each of the College
Republicans
and PAN
presidents, Sean Mattingly and
Manal Yamout respectively.
Each organization supplied
one speaker to debate the
war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer
and former chairman of the
California Republican Party
represented the sentiments
of the College Republicans.
Sean Bell, veterans advocate
and vice president of the San
Diego Veterans for Peace,
chapter 91, spoke on the behalf
of PAN. Bell is also a former
marine who served actively
in 1990-1994, including time
in Iraq.
shouting and name-calling
at both speakers. Steel
commented that the protestors
had a "complete separation
from reality" and a "hatred
of America." Several students
yelled back "Who hates
America?" In response to the
question, "Why has this war
inspired the biggest anti-war
movement?" Steel responded
that is was not anti-war but
"pro-tyranny." A student
yelled that the debate was
a "travesty, [that] students
should be speaking, [and
that] there [was] too much
control."
Both Mattingly and Yamout
repeatedly asked the audience
to be respectful, but it was
often out of their control.
The speakers did not always
disagree. Bell commented
on anti-war speeches given
by former Presidents James
Madison
and
Dwight
Eisenhower, to which Steel
conceded that they were

references.
They also agreed that
questioning the government
was not anti-patriotic. Bell

During the 1930's, Nazis burned
the works of famous intellectuals in
an attempt to keep their words and
thoughts from corrupting the citizenry.
It has been 70 years since this infamous
book-burning, but book burnings still
occur in this country on rare occasions,
one of the most recent taking place in
January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and
some of Shakespeare's works, claiming
that they were "satanic depictions."
Book burning was more effective
before the days of mass printing, and
is currently used primarily as a shock
tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been
much more common. Using legal means
to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity
laws, regulating their own punishments
and standards, which applied to books,
devices, and films.
» —••
|
In 1957, the Supreme Court declared
that if a work of art had significant social
value, it was not obscene. The case was
revisited in 1960, when the Court added
that it was necessary to censor material
"lacking in social value" or that was "no
essential part of the exposition of ideas."
This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not
defensible by the First Amendment.
Schools and public libraries often ban
books with questionable content that
they consider obscene. In the interest of
protecting minors, local school boards
have authority in deciding whether or
not a work is obscene in their district.
In the decentralized educational system,
small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After
the implication of the Pico standard in
1975, where a high school student took
his school board to court for banning a
book, school boards are allowed to ban
works based on vulgar content, but not
for subversive ideas. When presenting
the case for banning a book, pressure
groups have to be careful to attack the
work's content, not its ideas.

Book Burners
Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the
struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against
Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the
historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having
violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between
Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax
County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate
depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter
books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and
witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and
something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with
the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

partisan disapproval." When asked if a special interest group,
such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked
that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such
request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not
to say we would agree to remove the book."
Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at
the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding
to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies
which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law
claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering
software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to
constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the
act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed
in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the
American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law.
Among the most frequently banned books in public school
libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK
Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual
content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship. A

Where's The Booze?
Part 2: The
Administration
By DAVE WERTH
Pride Staff Writer
The quest for knowledge
as to the history and idea of
a potential pub at CSUSM
continues. A small percentage of a powerful and
growing student voice has
been expressed thus far,
and now the issue becomes
clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers
the question: Where's The
Booze?
CSUSM Senior Director
for Health, Counseling,
and Disability Services
Susan Mitchell was more
than delighted to help
answer this question. She
noted that the San Marcos
campus is by no means a
dry campus. In fact, with
proper approval, beer and
wine may be served on
campus. In addition, the
new student housing will
not have a prohibition on
alcohol.
There is, however, a long
list of rules that accompany these allowances.
Policy states that alcohol
consumption is allowed in
student housing, as long
as the person is at least
21 years old. In addition,
large quantities of alcohol
may not be brought into
the housing. These large
quantities pertain mostly
to kegs of beer. How the
school plans make a judgment on large quantities of
hard alcohol and wine is
somewhat of a mystery.
The school policy for
alcohol
consumption
on campus differs dramatically from the student
housing policy. Alcohol
consumption by anyone
on the CSUSM campus
is prohibited, even if the
person is 21 years of age.
The exception to this rule
is if alcohol is being served
at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a
school sponsored function,
and with approval from the
president's office. Approval
for consumption of alcohol at such an event must
be requested at least four
weeks in advance. There
also must be approval for
the use of facilities, along
with approval from several
different
administrative
offices. Even then, only beer
and wine may be served,
and it must be served by a
properly licensed distributor or catering service.
Although Mitchell provided excellent information
on issues relating to alcohol
within educational institutions, she also found herself
stumped as to why there is
no pub on the San Marcos
campus. She offered the
suggestion that a pub may
have never been suggested
by anyone, up to this point.

a factual reason as to why there
is no pub at CSUSM. He did,
however, express confidence
when saying that he believed that
the idea of a pub has never been
formally suggested. Instead he
believed that it has been a topic
that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus
from time to time, but never taken
beyond that.
Community perceptions of
CSUSM, campus safety, drunken
driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by
a pub, have all been suggested
as reasons why Cal State San
Marcos has no pub. However,
the best answer that could be
provided was that the idea of
a pub has never been formally
suggested. Whether or not a
pub is something that students
would like to see at CSUSM is
debatable. What is clear, is that
formally suggesting the idea is
the first step, and may be the only
way to fully answer the question:

C ONCERN
D ON'T ABUSE
YOUR F REEDOMS
I was pleased at the
overwhelming turnout of
students at the April 9th
war debate sponsored by
the College Republicans
and PAN. The event was
very well organized and for
the most part ran smoothly.
Unfortunately, there were
some people who chose
to disrupt the assembly by
inappropriately
shouting
out rude, personal, and
unfair comments, as well
as obscene gestures to Mr.
Steel.
As Americans, we have the
right to speak freely, but
this does not mean that we
have the right to use abusive
speech or encroach and
trample on other people's
rights. While I must
commend the majority of
the liberals attending the
event for not participating in
such immature tactics, I also
find it interesting that the
only individuals who chose
to act in such a manner were
the very same people who
advocated for "peace."
But then it was just last week
that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat
advocator of peace, said
that the U.S. also needs a
"regime change," which by
definition involves forcibly
removing a dictator from
power. While the "corporate
media" is quick to show
protesters in the streets of
New York or San Francisco,
the truth is that 78 percent of
Americans support the war
with Iraq, and 69 percent
of Americans approve of
the way Bush is conducting
the war (4/03/03, Opinion
Dynamics Poll).
Since these abusive words
of treason came from a
Democratic
presidential
candidate, it really is no
surprise that liberals on
campus would follow the
example of this country's
left wing leadership, and
encroach on Mr. Steel's
rights. Your words and
actions spoke louder than
the "peaceful" protest signs
of your movement, and
you truly showed the true
character of the bleeding
heart liberal.
Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the
streets of Baghdad at the
toppling of Saddam's statue,
and the end of Saddam's evil,
tyrannical regime. May God

Dear Editors:
that the Iraqi regime might
hold against us? What are
our soldiers dying for?
Sure 82 casualties doesn't
compare to the previous
wars Americans have
fought in, but that is still 82
dead people and counting,
and thousands more lives of
friends and family that have
been drastically affected.
I know that many people
join the military for lots
of reasons, many of which
don't include protecting
the country, like benefits, a
stable pay check, to make
something out of their lives,
to travel, to get financial
help to go to school through
the G.L Bill, and as a way
out from any pressure at
home. Soldiers are owned,
which is why they're called
military property; their job
comes first no matter what,
and they don't have much of
a say in it either.
One can argue that even if
our first motive for the war
wasn't to disarm Saddam,
it is still our motive to free
the people from Saddam's
tyranny and oppression. We
have the ability and so it is
our responsibility. That is a
valid point. The people of
Iraq have been oppressed by
their own ruler and have the
right to be free. Many Iraqis
would want to live free and
not under Saddam's regime.
If we never find WMD then
of course our motive is to
free Iraq, but it wasn't like
that in the first place. It'
just funny how later on in
the war the ideal of freeing

destroying weapons of mass
destruction.

Africa (specifically Congo),

my concern for those who

about the war itself as well

So after this war, if we

be hypocrites. And if we

I look forward to the
change around the campus.
I think the new on campus
housing will bring a
different atmosphere to
the campus, making it
become more alive. Having
students on campus around
the clock will also bring it
to another level to make it
feel more like a "real" Cal
