XI NO. 28 Ceremonies t o b e h eld i n t w o p arts 'He will survive' Captain of the CSUSM surf team represents 'a story of perseverance' BY MICHELLE V ELARDE Pride Staff Writer The first week of this semester, campus was packed with preoccupied students looking for p arking, crashing classes, and b uying books. Thomas Gorman, a senior f acing his last semester at CSUSM, stepped onto campus that week with a whole d ifferent s et of t hings on h is m ind. H is f ather w as ill with t erminal cancer, and f or the past t wo years G orman h ad worked diligently t o finish h is degree, hoping that h is f ather would b e alive to see h im graduate. However, by the end of that first week, his father h ad p assed away at the age of 57, leaving G orman j ust short of achieving that dream. Gorman struggled to balance his emotional anguish with Photo by Michelle Velarde/77ze Pride Thomas Gorman's father taught him to surf when he was a child. After his dad succombed to cancer, Gorman began*carrying on their morning tradition alone. work and a h efty load of sixteen units. Although he did not want to drop any classes, he ended u p dropping two because the work load, understandably, became too much for him to handle. Instead of graduating this month like he had expected, he will b e back to finish next fall. "It j ust gets a little bit f rustrating, because you get so close to a goal and you t hink you're working towards something," he said. "There's k ind of a sense of urgency to graduate, and now it's not happening. T hat's probably the hardest thing " " It's that finishing his degree was so tightly linked t o his relationship with his father," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, G orman's human development professor. "He was racing against time, and when (his father) did pass away, he was still racing. You couldn't b e a hamster going 100 miles p er hour. He needed time to grieve." " In some ways, T homas' father was k ind of the glue that held that f amily together," said Dr. Amber P uha, the coach of CSUSM's surf See MEMORY, page 2 BY CLAUDE SAYF Pride S taff Writer CSUSM's spring 2004 graduation ceremonies will take place May 15, 2004, at the Grandstand on the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Due to budget cuts this year, the ceremonies had to be consolidated into two events. The first one is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. with an 8:00 a.m. check-in. The second ceremony is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. with check-in at 2:00 p.m. Both ceremonies are the same, except for the groupings of m ajors that will graduate and the student speaker that w ill a ddress t he graduates. T he t wo ceremonies w ill consist of several speakers and the actual n ame recital of t he graduates shortly t hereafter. The m ajority of u ndergraduate science m ajors will w alk d uring the morning ceremony, while those in the a rts w ill g raduate later in the day. The candidates for master's degrees will b e divided along the same lines. President Haynes will open both ceremonies with t he welcome and introduction See CEREMONY, page 3 A l i s t o f c o m m e n c e m e n t s p e a k e r s A race to graduate Elizabeth Kingsbury Karen Haynes Janet McDaniel A s a liberal studies major at CSUSM, Elizabeth Kingsbury h as already b een an active public speaker. " I have been giving speeches f or years on campus about domestic violence and child molestation," says Kingsbury. Already accepted to the UCSD School of Law, she is hoping to become a sex crimes prosecutor. Kingsbury, who was chosen to speak by a panel of CSUSM f aculty and students, has an eight-year-old daughter, Katelyn Lee. Before being inaugurated as the President of CSUSM on February 1 of this year, Karen Haynes held office at the University of Houston-Victoria beginning in 1995. She has written several books, including "A Dream and A Plan: Women's Paths to Leadership in Human Services," which was released last January. Haynes earned a bachelor's degree f rom Goucher College in Baltimore, an M.S.W. f rom McGill University in Montreal and a Ph.D. f rom the University of Texas at Austin. A fter t hirteen years of service at CSUSM, Janet McDaniel was named the 2003-2004 Brakebill Distinguished Professor this spring.

Graduation ceremonies prior to 2002 were held in the grassy area by Kellogg library in F orum Plaza, but because of the library construction, the graduation site had to relocate this year. Of the move o ff-campus, Villa said, "I have done extensive research, driving u p and down the county looking f or an appropriate venue. Fortunately, Del M ar hosted us. They are a w onderful host and are v ery happy with u s as well." The question of whether the ceremony will ever b e back on campus is still undecided. Villa said the decision is u p to President Haynes, who will determine if and when CSUSM may b e able to accommodate the large amount of graduates again in Forum Plaza.

At the same time that G orman was learning t o write cursive letters as a child, h is father was teaching h im how t o surf. Gorman's fondest memories are of the times he and his father spent surfing together, whether it was taking trips down to Mexico or j ust waking u p and surfing at the Oceanside harbor. "We surfed together f or the better p art of my life. We s urfed every morning together until he fell ill," Gorman said. "We h adn't really went in the water together f or the last three years." "We spent a lot of time together towards the e nd," he said. "We saw each other all the t ime.. .but it still isn't enough time. It causes you to look back at days, like when you were in high school, and you decided t o go surfing with your f riends or someone else, when you could have surfed with your dad." "He was a great dad, you know," Gorman said. "He was there to b e there for you and at the same time to let you know when you were acting up." Soriano could not help but notice the love Gorman h ad for his father. It was a "mutual, b eautiful love that they had f or one another," he said. When his father was diagnosed with cancer, the cancer was in stage four and had already spread to his brain, lungs, and spinal D D Pal State San Marcos 333 N Twin Oaks Valley Road San Marcos, CA 92096-0001 Phone:(760)750-6099 Fax:(760)750-3345 E-mail: pride@csusm.edu http://wwwxsusm.edu/pride Ad e-wiail: Pride_ads@caistaedu 1 cord. A fter t aking a f ew y ears o ff of school, G orman c ame back when he realized that h is father might not have much t ime l eft. T he y ears when h is f ather's illness progressed would prove t o b e some of t he. hardest t imes G orman ever experienced. G orman helped h is f amily take care of his father until he passed away. It w as particularly hard for G orman t o watch his f ather's body give i n t o t he cancer, and remembers doing things that "sons don't envision doing things for their fathers." A nd while the entire duration of his f ather's illness was difficult, losing h im this particular year was hard for Gorman. " He h as been challenged like you wouldn't believe this year," n m r P uha said. "You really have no one t o f all back on b ecause your d ad is k ind of like t he prominent figure when y ou're growing up. So you feel alone," G orman said. School b ecame especially difficult.

G orman h as also spent a lot of t ime working with the developmentally disabled in San M arcos, and h as been involved with t he Special Olympics.

"There are many advantages to the celebration being held in Del Mar," she said. "The stage is on the track and the guests have a perfect view of the whole process. You never have to worry about limiting guests." Villa continued, "You don't have to sit in the sun for two hours, there are bathrooms on every level, great picture opportunities and many restaurants nearby. The only complaint we've received was that the guests had to pay for parking. Other than that there have no more complaints." Sheila Manning, a graduate of the 2002 class who is also a current employee in the office of Enrollment Services Management as an information specialist said, "Having been a part of California State University San Marcos commencement as a student and staff member I've seen it f rom both sides and been impressed on both occasions. Not only is it a beautiful venue, it also allows students to invite as many friends and family as they'd like." A concern for some graduating next year may be the cost of such a venue. "The cost does come from student fees," Villa sayd, adding that when AI tracked the budget, they found that the first year in Del Mar was not a significant cost increase. "We rent the site as a package and the vendors are already included in that p ackage traffic, parking attendance, bleachers," Villa said. "Here at Cal State San Marcos we had to higher extra staff, have them work overtime, clean up before and after, hire highway patrol, rent facilities, chairs and bleachers. So they cancel each other out." Charlotte Strauwald, a senior who will graduate May 15, says that she was a little disappointed that the ceremony will be held off-campus but is excited that she gets to invite her ten guests.

I 'm finishing up my second After the last barbeque of the semester, wearing a green year. I 've been there since the Hawaiian shirt accompanied with beginning.

So what do you do for the into the office and thank us for school as a member of the the work that we do. Or when any students are genuinely Programming Board? Uhhhh ... I wouldn't say I do appreciative of the work we do. What has been your favorite anything for the school, I do it for activity or event this year? the students. The Masquerade Ball. That's where my interest lays: Why? students having a positive college I like dancing.

We than^Cjodforyou. Love, (Dad, Mom and (Patrie^ machine. And it's exciting to see over 300 San Marcos students outside San Marcos having a good time together. It was kinda like being at a club with a whole bunch of your friends without those sleazy guys that hangs out at places like PB Bar & Grill. The ones that hang out between the bar arid the dance floor and hit on every single woman, even the ones you're with. You know the ones. How does it feel to be graduating this month? I 'm excited to be done with school. It will be nice to go home and have no homework to do. Although all my professors would argue that I don't do it any way. It feels good to be recognized for all this work and I 'm also getting a math degree. So, if anyone tries to step, I can be like, 'hey, I 've got a math degree.' What are your plans for the summer? Initially, I was supposed to work. I was supposed to spend this semester looking for a job, but I didn't get around to doing that. So, I 'm probably going to decide if I like Pacifico or Negra Modelo better and hang out with my dog. What will you miss the most about CSUSM? Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/ The Pride Brett Gladys provides servio with smile at the barbeque luncheon in front of Kellogg Library to promote CSUSM's annual Luau event. I think I 'll miss my friends here a lot. Any last words of encouragement, or advice, for students that will be coming back to CSUSM next year? I often hear people complain about lack of student life on campus, and they're wrong. There is student life on campus. You all hang out in the library and computer labs talking on Instant Messenger. You're sitting in your cars in between classes and your acting way too cool talking on your cell phones. I have a blast every single time I come to campus. And it is not just because I 'm fabulously good looking. It's because I say hi to people. I go up to events and I try hard to make this place into a campus I want to be a part of. So if you want this place to have student life . .. get out of the library and computer labs and your cars, and say hi to somebody on Founders Plaza.

Now that you have worked your brain into shape during the first 15 weeks of the semester which is what I call the regular season of school, it is almost time to show what you are made of. As we heaci f or the home stretch we know w e are getting to the end as we can see the finish line right in front of us. Finals week or as I call it the playoffs, is that week we are all forced to man u p and step into the ring. Some people start preparing weeks in advance f or finals and they usually come out victorious when they write that home run A grade paper or pitch that perfect presentation. However, many people are pressure players like me. We wait until the last possible second to experience the urgency of going into the extra innings of studying at the wee hours of the night. The pressure players usually come out on top by throwing that Hail Mary touchdown to pass the test. Throughout the studying process we occasionally stumble over those hurdles when w e realize there are more exciting things that we could be doing. However, most of us keep our eyes on the trophy. The trophy f or some of you veterans is that piece of paper that you have worked f or which says you are ready to retire from CSUSM. The trophy f or us rookies is j ust the simple fact that we d on't have to set an alarm f or another three months. So, as the p layoffs approach all of us, remember to stick it out. Also d on't forget to keep your eyes on the prize while giving 110 percent. So, with a ll of those sports clichés said, here is two more; Break a leg and go get e m'. SPORTS Women's softball takes 2nd at Nationals BY JONATHAN RODLEY Pride Staff Writer Six months ago 16 girls picked u p bats and gloves and started throwing a softball around. Some had played in highschool, f or others it was their first time stepping onto the field. The girls had t hree coaches, led by Ferman Cardoza, head coach, to guide the Cougars at weekly workouts. " They practiced hard in practice and it showed on the diamond," Cordoza said. The team captain, Tisha McElhiney, scheduled games with other colleges for scrimmage. But these weren't other intramurals, the Cougars played against collegiate level teams. " When w e're out on the field, we push each other, we p ush ourselves," McElhiney said. The team worked together, and as their relationships grew, their skill level improved, she said. A fter 26 games, at 13 and 13, it was t ime f or t he National Championship. I n Chino Hills, at t he field of dreams stadium, they f aced teams f rom around the country. The Cougars crushed their opponents early on with scores like 6 -0 against the Naval Academy and 13-2 with Ohio State. D uring day two, The Cougars defeated the number one seed Kansas State with a w in of 4-2. That landed them automatically in the semis. ' "Are you kidding me, you beat the number one team,' they couldn't believe it," McElhiney said about umpires and other team coaches. "Eventually other teams started playing deep in the field." A fter their success, it was time to f ace once again, The Navel Academy, which squeaked into the final by defeating Kansas State. But the final unfortunately, is where the Cougars played their second and third losses of the tournament. The Cougars' pitcher, Jamie Beaty, served the team proper during its nine game series with 80 strikeouts. McElhainy hit over a .700 during the tournament and both players made it on the M VP team. So a fter training for five months, the team to beat ended u p being a f resh group of f aces f rom Cal State San Marcos. "We did it as a team, and we always have," McElhiney said. "We're doing it for each other." The next season for Cougars softball begins Spring 2005. Collegiate sports sign off for the season BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer As the academic year ends, so does the year in sports f or cougar athletics. Among the highlights f or the Track and Field team includes their performance at Point Loma Invitational finishing 2nd in the Women's 4X400 Meter Relay and finishing 2nd in the M en's 4X800 Meter Relay. The team is coming down the home stretch trying to finish strong. They did so with a victory in the M en's 4X100 Meter Relay at the UCSD Triton Invitational. The team still has the Occidental Invitational May 8 and the Claremont Classic May 15 before the team competes at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The M en's golf team came into this year with high expectations and they have not disappointed so far. Among the highlights f or the team was claiming 1st place at the Grand Canyon Invitational and a 3ed place finish at the CSU Bakersfield Invitational. The team competed last week in the NAIA Region II championships and took 2nd place overall which means they will be heading to the NAIA national championships in Olathe, Kansas. The Women's golf team did not have the same high expectations that the M en's team had coming into the season, but they did not disappoint either. Among the highlights f or the Women's team was 3ed place finishes at the Western Washington Invitational and at the CSU San Marcos Cougar Invitational. The Cross Country team had a decent season as well. The highlight of the year was a victory at the Vanguard Invitational. They ended strong with back to back top 3 finishes at the regional championships and then at the national championships. So, until next year Cougar fans.

During my time as ombudsman, I communicated with many readers on issues regarding grammar, spelling, content and the political orientation of The Pride. I recall last Semester when the words I heard were rarely good and, in fact, were quite scathing at times; Over time, the hardwork that the staff had been piitting in began to pay o ff: words o fpoignant criticism gave way to compliments on the recognized progress that The Pride was making. Even so, I was certain that some readers would never be won over by any effort that The Pride staff exerted to rectify the paper. However, my certainty was dispelled when some of the harshest critics emailed me acknowledge the steady progress and advancement of Thej^ride. I thank a Uof you who did let me know your thoughts on what we were doing, especially those who were particularly harsh, because without fhat honest feedback, there would have not been t hi spark to initiate the change fer tWs semester; Over t he course o^the past semester, The JPride has truly solidified into a decent newspaper embodying the breadth of interests that comprise our campus community here at CSUSM. Th§ u i^w&aieiit T he Pridb has undergone is due t o the dedication and hard work of the staff, from both this semester and last, as well a s the interests and concerns expressed by readers in the feedback t received through email a nd in pdrson, Without reader feedback, The Pride wouW b e lacking in direction since our purpose k t o provide a varietyof stories that inform and also entertain our r eader. In addition to being the last edition of this semester and, as such this academic school year, t hisedition of The Pride also represents the tost edition in which I will be assuming the role of ombudsman. As the first person to fill this role at The Pride, I feel it is both a necessary iauBUdl'^^rSEGHbxit' ooaoajMSSSSi" that was obviously n eeded Your voices were the ones I carried to the editors t o let them know how the paper was being received.

The Pride apologizes for these errors,-;' As the Co-Editors-in-Chief, we would like to finally introduce ourselves to our readers and give proper recognition to the dedication of those that we could not have done this without. At the beginning of the school year, The Pride began with two Editor-in-Chiefs, Jon Rodley and Elizabeth Baldwin. Jon had previous experience in journalism. Elizabeth had a strong foundation in accounting management. The two of us joined forces and set out to use our individual talents to create the best weekly newspaper possible. Each week, we strive to make The Pride fair and balanced, entertaining and accessible to all students. We are very proud of all the challenges we faced at the beginning of the year. Through long hours, constant compromise and a committed staff, we have conquered every obstacle in our way. A standing ovation to our section editors who have brought so much creative genius to The Pride and have accomplished their jobs with the smallest amount of resources possible: Sarah Carlin, Katie Sammons, Lisa George, Melissa Rodriguez and Tom Pfingston. Yes, mistakes have been made in The Pride (as many of our readers have pointed out). A huge round of applause goes to our Ombudsman, Mike Dolan, for his tireless effort to correct all of our errors. A hip-hip-hurray to our adviser, Jenifer Woodring, who has been our constant cheerleader guiding us through all the ups and downs of a college newspaper. And most importantly, we take a humble bow to our readers. We value all of our readers and thank you for your support. It is so wonderful to see students sitting on benches in Founders Plaza reading a copy of The Pride. We wish you a fabulous summer.

Ironically, it was that book that inspired Robert to become a writer. " I feel like that is something I can o ffer to the world," said the graduating senior. Woerheide, who was published in CSUSM's Pride Literary Supplement, also arose as a leader in the creative writing c ommunity on campus.

Born in Guatemala, she was adopted at 3 and a half years of age and lived in Colorado till age n ine before moving to California.

N o Gain is a f our piece, speedy p op p unk band out of Tokyo, Japan, that serves u p a sound reminiscent of F.Y.P., Spazz and Hi-Standard. " It's O utrageous" the debut album f rom N o Gain is twelve tracks of uninhibited songs about girls, surfing, and hardcore breakups, all done with Japanese style. From the v ery first track titled "Never Change," listeners c an't help but b e drawn into the f our p art vocal harmonies, simple chord progressions, and melodies that will stick with you for days to come. N o Gain singer, Archy, delivers a performance comparable to Jello B iafra of the Dead Kennedys, while guitarists Dee and Maki, back h im up with strong harmonies that are best described as, GLORIOUS! D rummer A 2 delivers the final blow t o listeners with doubletime beats and super quick fills, that make you feel like your h eart may explode.

Today at \ p.m., the California Faculty Association will hold a conference call t o release updates regarding the projected economic impacts of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts. "Now is the time to raise awareness and ramp up support for the Alliance for the CSU," said Lillian Taiz, President of CFA and a professor of history at CSU Los Angeles. "We must rally together and organize ourselves while school is in session to fight of these staggering cuts because we will have more limited resources during the summer."

The t railer is very impressive and I shows how this f ilm will appeal t o people with its humor and storyline. The creativity in the plot is also a clever idea. Also, the screenshots ensure this f ilm will be visually spectacular. Even if I am wrong about the quality of t his movie, it will look incredible, guaranteed. I realize I am being bold picking "Wall-E" as the best, especially considering some of. the other f ilms coming out. I am sure " The Dark K night" and others will be spectacular. In addition, some f ilms I believe will be all f lash and no bang, meaning they may have a great amount of hype, but they will let down in the quality department. "Wall-E" gives the impression that it will be a strong film and have appeal to all moviegoers. I have thought about for a long time, and I have no doubt Disney-Pixar will not disappoint t his summer. Recently they have been on a strong streak, which I do not see ending soon. The potential for this f ilm is high and I can say with complete honesty that it will get next y ear's Oscar for Best A nimated. Nevertheless, I will t ake it one-step f urther and predict it to pick up a nomination for Best Picture. " Ratatouille" deserved one and my gut is telling me t his will be j ust as good, if jiot better. I wish you happy viewing t his summer! B lood, S weat, Tears, a nd t ime t o relax BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer The end to another successful school year. And by "successful", I mean we're all still alive with most of our limbs intact The phrase "intact" is, of course, negotiatable, since my grandfather has a hole in his leg that goes straight through to China, but we'll just try to think positive. How could you head into summer though without some timeless advice from your favorite columnist? And now that you've read their words of wisdom, you can have mine. My Tips for Surviving Summer with Style, Grace, and Minimum Collateral Damage 1. Designate a driver. I'm not talking about for when you drink. I mean, in general. You're going be much too busy with suntans and classy internships or vacations to worry about ridiculous things like speed limits and pedestrians. 2. There's always YouTube. Before you try to make your own Studio 54 in your living room, be aware that EVERYTHING ends up on the internet, particularly on YouTube. So even though you are with one intimate partner, or you're only going to do whatever it is this once, or you heard it's all the rage in the wilds ofMinnesota, know that somehow, whatever it is, it's going to be immortalized. And you will never be able to run for public office. Unless you're rich. 3. Today's tan is tomorrow's skin cancer. Yeah, my grandmother spent her summer days at the beach and her nights working at the telephone company. As a result, she still fondly remembers switchboards, and has to have a cancerous spot burned off her face every three months or so. And they had an ozone layer back then. So put on some sunscreen already. 4. He'll still be there in the morning. Before you cheapen yourself because it's just summer, and it's just one night, and you're just having so much fun, just think: what if he's still there in the morning? Are you gonna feel cheap or used, or just plain annoyed? What if he wants breakfast, or worse yet, a full-on romance? Just because it's summer doesn't mean everyone knows you're "no drama before morning coffee" clause. Your decisions will still haunt you (perhaps on YouTube), even if you made them in the hazy July heat 5. Have some fun. For a lot ofyou, nothing will change, except that your job that was part-time during the school year will become fuUtime. Or you'll have to find a job at all in a massive hurry. But around the hustle and bustle, make some time for yourself We live in a place most people go to on vacation. Try to sit back and enjoy it just like they do, minus getting lost and thinking Sea World is worth the admission cost i v I 1 S it E include aa address, telephone j Ì tioa.

Buying the vote: Suspending the gas tax BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer The electoral winds haven't shifted. They've died, and now we're in the political doldrums. The flurry of exciting primaries in February has passed, leaving the candidates with idle hands over the past few weeks. It is with these idle hands that some of the candidates have made the devil's work, or at the very least, cheapened electoral politics beyond recovery. The biggest news in April revolved around Obama's relationship to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As some continue to beat that dead horse, the candidates have finally given us some politics, however second rate, to grab onto with the debate over suspending the federal gas tax this summer. Clinton's proposal would suspend the 18.4 cent per gallon gas tax for the summer travel season and replace it with a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Similarly, McCain's proposal would suspend the federal tax over summer as well, although his proposal would not tax the oil companies, instead replacing the lost revenue with funds diverted from other programs. To the economically frustrated American, it's difficult not to embrace a politician offering salvation from staggering gas prices. Far from a saving grace, Clinton and McCain's proposed gas tax suspension offers trivial financial relief. But with the political advantages of supporting such a proposal so evident, Clinton and McCain just couldn't resist. To put it into perspective, a sav- ings of 18.4 cents a gallon for a 15 gallon gas tank puts $2.76 back into the drivers pocket every time they go to the pump. Filling up once a week for 3 months saves the average driver somewhere between $30-$35. This is the big fix Clinton and McCain offer. Of these two proposals floating around between Clinton and McCain, both have a distinctly common air of political maneuvering about them. Clinton, who has been known to manipulate truth for political gain, is looking for something with which she can draw a sharp policy distinction from Obama. Even after her victories in March and April, Clinton is struggling to put together anything close to a come back. In her interview with George Stephanopoulos, Clinton dismissed the "elitist" views of a wide body of economists that argue her proposal would offer little financial relief to Americans. It seems that it is much easier to offer financial relief than it is to actually provide it. Her support of this hollow proT posal is ill informed and nearly indefensible. But at least McCain has an excuse: he's a Republican. Cutting taxes with complete disregard to budgetary consequences is a ritual sacred to the Republican candidate, especially as the electoral moons align. Taking it easy on the oil companies and showing fiscal irresponsibility is McCain's idea of showing strong leadership. Sound familiar? The only admirable aspect of either pitch is the reintroduction of a windfall profits tax on oil companies proposed by Clinton. Taxing the oil companies for profiting off of high oil prices is something we should already be doing as we have done in the past, but by no means should it be a substitution for the gas tax. Obama has been quick to criticize McCain and Clinton, but despite his fervent opposition, even he isn't without sin. During his tenure as in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted for a suspension of the state gas tax for summer travel similar. Without dismissing his past support of similar policies, it is important to note that Obama isn't buying into these foolish gestures anymore. If this feeble exercise in political pandering has proven anything, it's that smoke and mirrors don't always fool American voters. A CBS/NY Times poll released May 5 found that only 44% of voters thought the gas tax suspension was a good idea compared to the 51% that thought it was a bad idea Even more embarrassing for McCain and Clinton, the survey also found that 70% of voters thought the candidates supported the tax suspension because it would help them politically. Where the public is too often fooled by empty policy, the people's dismissal of this shameful proposal speaks to the transparency of Clinton and McCain's underlying motives. It is all too easy to toss around tax cuts to gamer public support, but be prepared to back your words up. Rather than play blindly into this cheap manipulation, voters should be questioning to what extent they would allow their economic desperation t o be taken advantage of for political gain.

However, a recent grant from the National Institutes of Health to a CSUSM professor may shed light on this complex medical enigma. The NIH offered Dr. Bianca Mothe a four-year, $440,000 grant to research the reasons behind this puzzle. She, along with CSUSM students, will look at diseases in groups, and the body's use of its built-in defenses. The research conducted by Dr. Mothe and students will look into cells called "helper cells." They will be looking into how these may offer natural resistance to diseases. The reason some people may not be prone to illness is that they have prolific "helper cells" to keep them safe. For those that do not have these defense cells, disease is more likely to affect them. Therefore, the research will involve looking into how doctors can implement or encourage these cells in order to protect a person. According to a press release, hopes for this project also includes being closer in determining a cure or vaccine for terrible afflictions such as Hepatitis C. One of the reasons the NIH chose Dr. Mothe was because of her strong interest in the biological field of illness. In her post-graduate work, she studied the AIDS virus on monkeys, which initially sparked her concern. During this work, she noticed how some creatures had a natural resistance. She cited the immune system for this because the "helper- cells" prevented the virus from reproducing and taking over the species. In some instances^ these cells were able to destroy the virus all together. Her previous work with tnonkeys creates optimism. She has shown th^t monkeys with natural resistance perform better than those who scientists treat with the cur- You survived: Preview BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer First year students looking to t ake a break from studying should attend Student Life And Leadership's (SLL) last "Survival Series" workshop today, Tues. May 6 during U-hour at the Clark Field House in room 110. ' The last workshop of the year, entitled "You Survived" is a celebration for first year students sur- viving their first year at CSUSM. . The event is sponsored by Student Life and Leadership and New Student Programs, and will feature free lunch and free giveaways to participating students. Jenny McDonald, a student that attended last year's event stated, "it's a good way to relax and have f un before finals." This workshop will be the eighth and final event of the year for the "Survival Series." Event coordinator, Eric Rowe, stated the each event features, "tips on how to get students involved, how to be successful, and how to enjoy their experience at CSUSM." The event is open but not restricted to all first year students at CSUSM. Students not able to make it to this event should look forward to the "Survival Series" making a return in the fall with all new events. rent vaccine. The National Institutes of Health, the group who finance this project have headquarters in Maryland and are a federal establishment under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services. According to their mission statement, their goal is "pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life." They are the head of twenty institute branches that research afflictions and the human body. They study specific conditions, such as aging and blindness, as well as afflictions in certain parts of the body, such as skin and lungs. By financing Dr. Mothé, they hope to increase understanding on the body's defenses. Dr. Mothé came to CSUSM in 2003 in order, to maintain her work on understanding the importance of "helper cells." Her previous studies include working with mice to observe the immune system, which was possible through a three-year grant. She will continue to work at CSUSM because of her appreciation of the unique environment where undergraduate students can conduct research with her. According to, Dr. Motilé, " I think we're a good combination of research and teaching by bringing them into our lab."

Risk Management is responsible for communicating with the campus on how to effectively m inimize the repercussions of liabilities involved on campus. All state employees (including s taff and faculty at CSUSM) are classifiedias disaster service workers. .Thus, t W brochure clearly outlines expectations and areas of concern p ertaining to safety that faculty are supposed to provide for students. It is essential that all faculty members are familiar with Risk Management's policies, so the brochure that was created is á helpful reference. The brochure first addresses classroom safety so faculty can effectively provide a safe learning environment. Classroom safety is broken down into i nforming students throughout class meetings about the hazards to be encountered and consequent safety precautions, emergency reporting (dial 911 on a university phone to contact the University Police), and laboratory safety. There is also a classroom emergency-preparedness video at http:// www.csusm.edu/ep/Video/. There are specific concerns explained p ertaining to disabled students, so pre-planning is advised or a second option is a University Marshall, who is experienced and has t raining in dealing with student disabilities. Another important point the brochure emphasizes is to not use elevators in a case of any emergency. A second issue that the brochure focuses on is out-of-classroom safety. This can include a range of activities including study abroad programs, field trips, and internships. Regarding study abroad programs, faculty are required to provide the mandatory information to insure a safe e xperience/With field trips or other out-of-class activities, faculty members must convey, to students compliance with university policies, a specific example of a policy being alcohol use during the class activity. The Classroom Safety procedure is also applicable in this category for reporting risks for students and proper precautions. A final point is that waivers and other permission forms must be completed and submitted before the event takes place and that there must be a contact person in case of an emergency. A third category of the brochure is internships. The Out-of-Classroom Safety is also relevant in this category. Added responsibilities entail the following: coordinating the student's off-campus experience with appropriate groups, m aking obvious possible risks to students and other individuals and the university's insurance coverage, having the student's emergency contact information, and promoting the student(s) to "follow-up" with the faculty member of any concerns. If a student becomes injured, faculty are required to report the incident t o University Police (and assist the University Police in completing an I njury Report), recommending students to seek medical attention (from the Student Health Center), and contact the Dean of Students for serious injuries. If the i njury is grave, emergency personnel will cover procedures for medical treatment. For f urther information and i nquiries/Risk Manage^ ment is located in Craven Hall 4700.

It's important to make a distinction. It is a film that has been based on a comic book. To me, 'comic book movies' are those complete wastes of production costs with ridiculous premises, easily despised heroes, and an ending so contrived and expected that they make "Winnie the Pooh" seem like a shocking thriller. No, this is a film. There's a plot. There's acting. There is an honest attempt to entertain without insulting the intelligence of the audience, which is something I haven't seen in a long time in a blockbuster film. And make no mistake: "Iron Man" will be a blockbuster, perhaps the first that I would recommend you see in a while, and definitely the first of the superhero films I would cofisider seeing a second time. Unlike other films, in which the hero is submersed in toxic goo and gains magic strength, or gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains superpowers, the premise of this flick is, if not highly believable, at least has a somewhat logical progression. A man invents a suit that enables him to fly and do other amazing things (and I don't want to give anything away so I'll keep it general). But said man is already a wunderkind, a genius son of an atomic scientist, who graduated top of his class at MIT. He doesn't gain his knowledge in a ridiculous manner, suddenly, from a prophesied eclipse or an extremely convenient nuclear a supporting cast that includes Terrence accident.

The newest Mexican food haven is located tight up the street from campus, with perfect hours for early morning and late night burrito fixes. They are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday to Saturday and offer fairly cheap prices, especially for burrito-starved students. Upon entering, the sizzle of the grill and the sound of mariachi music are quite inviting. Sombrero's menu is a sea of burritos, tacos, combination plates, and other mouthwatering deliciousness. " For burrito critics, the carne asada burritos are fit for kings (and queens... and everyone else in the court). The standard carne asada is filled with guacamole, pico de gallo (tomatos, onion, cilantro), ajid of course, carne asada.

Wilson Creek's Almond Champagne BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Karl Strauss Brewing Company brews Endless Summer Light, a throwback to the 1964 movie "The Endless Sumpier," by filmmaker Bruce Brown, in San Diego, California. Karl Strauss operates six brewery restaurants in Southern California. The Carlsbad location sits closest to CSUSM. The company began in 1989 with Karl Strauss, his cousin, C EO and co-founder Chris Cramer, and Cramer's college comrade and the company's president, Matt Retner. Karl Strauss was born in Minden, Germany; He was actually born on the land of his father's brewery. He grew up on the brewery and left when he was 18. He earned a degree in Science of Malting and Brewing from the Technical University Munich at Weihenstephan, Germany. He person to receive Award of Honor Award of Merit Master Brewer's ation of the Ameri- tainer holds six 12 fluid ounce d^Bf brown glass bottles and retails for $7.99 at BevMo. A simple scene most likely taken from the movie "The Endless Summer" identifies as the centerpiece of the packaging. Sandy tan and sun burned orange hues color the packaging. The bottles adoring yellow bottle caps, share the same imaging. The beer pours smooth, like running water from a garden hose on a lawn on a hot summer day. No head forms but a thin brim of suds ensure that the rising carbonated bubbles do not release any flavoring of hops and malts. The beverage embodies a crisp amber color similar to the rays rising off the waves at local San Diego County beaches in summer time. The light beer enters the mouth sending a gentle surge of zest, then softens up and passes through leaving the mouth moist. With only 110 calories and 2.8% alcohol by ,volume the beer serves as a great summer refreshment for almost any occasion. Two weeks remain for the spring, semester and soon Cougars will be basking in the radiant warmth in San Diego under the beloved golden sun. Cougars will also be graduating, getting married, attending BBQ/ beach/pool parties etc. Endless Summer Light's characteristics ensure a relaxing and rejuvenating experience throughout the entirety of summer.

Champagne, France owns exclusive rights to uSe the term champagne for their sparkling wine. The U.S. recognizes these rights in respect to President Carter's signature in the Treaty of Versailles. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty. Therefore, the U.S. legally allows U.S. manufacturers of sparkling wine to name their product "champagne" if the manufacturer clearly •indicates the geographical location in which the sparkling wine originates on their bottles. Essentially, champagne and sparkling wine are synonymous in the product they describe, regardless of the lingo. Wilson Creek Almond Flavored California Champagne retails for $10.99 at BevMo. The 750 ML bottle has an 11% alcohol by volume and arrives from Woodbridge, CA. The champagne displays a faint blonde shade when poured into a glass generating bitter and sugary scents.

Though fans of the band have awhile to wait, they can delight in the generous unveiling of Viva's first single, "Violet Hill." Generosity may well be an understatement. On April 27, Coldplay revealed that they would release "Violet Hill" from the band's website entirely free of charge beginning on April 29 at 12:l3PM (4:15AM Pacific Time) for exactly one week. Unfortunately, the surprise announcement came too late for the Pride to inform our favorite Brit-pop-loving classmates of this fabulous freebie. Without any publicity, "Violet H iir is already receiving massive amounts of air- play worldwide. If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this morsel of musical bliss, you are in the right place to satiate your hunger before Viva hits iTunes. The song begins in a relatively expected way. Moody ambient guitar swims through a seemingly empty space in a rather lengthy 40-second intro. Suddenly, frontman Chris Martin's voice pierces through the foggy synth, "Was a long and dark December," not to be -confused with the Counting Crows song. The verse seems to settle into Coldplay's trademark heavyhanded piano only for a time, then a hairpin turn ensues in the form of Johnny Buckland's guitar coming down hard in the style of A Rush of Blood to the Head's "Politik." No real chorus exists but Martin's longing plea to a seemingly absent lover, "If you love me/Won't you let me know?" The verse to follow bears lyrics alluding to a war of sorts, "Priests clutched onto Bibles/ All rode out to fit theirrifles,"with sentiments concerning the fight akin to Keane's "A Bad Dream." Just past the halfway point, Buckland's guitar solo utilizes a sound that I, personally, have never heard out of these musicians. A simple vibe wins out in the end, conjuring a sight of Martin sitting solemnly alone calling out to his lost love. The single ultimately delivers a song structure like that of X&Y's "Square One:" a hushed intro, commanding verses, and a lullaby of a wrap-up. If Coldplay isn't your scene, Viva may just be the turning point. Rumored album elements include Middle Eastern percussion, Latininfluenced rhythms, looped electronic riffs, and Martin's newfound deeper vocals. Judging by Viva's free sample single, no one truly knows what to expect from the dynamic genius of Coldplay. Photo courtesyofAmazon.com review: Flobots M usicar f usion on y our s tereo BY ROSS LICHTMAN Pride Staff Writer BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer On televisions nationwide, the people can hear the perpetual sound of police sirens as "Grand Theft Auto IV" hit shelves April 29. Just in time to divert students during finals week, this offers addicting game play, similar to the previous titles in the series. Also similar to the previous games, the gamer plays as a criminal diving deep into the world of crime. GTAIV takes place in Liberty City, similar to New York City, and follows a character named Niko, a Serbian immigrant who is looking for success. His past as a soldier in the Bosnian War defines his actions as he is air unforgiving person who uses violence to climb the crime ladder. Though he cares about his cousin Roman, his true motivation is money. The objectives of the game are to steal cafs, avoid the police, and do nefarious deeds for money, much like the other games in the series. The first feature .that sets this, game apart is the depth of the map. The game is set on the islands of Liberty City, where the creators heightened the detail as compared to other games. The environment is much more interactive and more buildings are accessible, adding to the realism. Images courtesy ofgamedaily.com The game has a slightly cartoon look, but the graphics are smooth and it is a visual treat. Tactics are also a new part of the game, as the "rush-in, shoot 'em up" style will get the character killed. Players must use cover and the right weapon per situation to complete a mission. The game is available for Playstation 3, but it is oh the XBOX 360 where this game shines. Players can enjoy the numerous achievements to build their gamer score on XBOX Live. As well, there is a new multi-player element to the game. Online play can range from cooperative campaign play, racing through the city streets, to an all out urban brawl. This offers gamers more for their money. However, one could not address this game without a word of warning. GTA IV is an incredibly violent game and is not meant for children. Though young ones should not be playing M-Rated games such as Halg or Assassin's Creed anyway, this one is different because it is so realistically violent and contains strong adult themes including sex and drugs. Players should remember that it is just a game, and should contemplate if the lack of morals in the game makes it worthwhile. GTA IV is certainly a wellmade game and it has raised the bar for video game potential. Yet due to the content, players must think before they play. As I drove down the freeway, I listened to the radio and flipped through local rock stations trying to find anything worth listening to. I stopped on 91X because I heard the radio host saying that he was about to play new music. The song he played was called "Handlebars" by Flobots. As the song started all that was playing was a week plucking of a violin and a guy singing about how he can ride a bike without holding on the handlebars. The song didn't sound very promising, but I am very glad that I did not change the station. As the song went oh it exploded into a combination of a very impressive rap song combined with a rock feel to it. When it was over I literally sat in my car with goosebumps. I was instantly hooked. The second I got home, I looked up their album titled, "Fight With Tools," and listened to every track on iTunes. Each song hit me, and I realized that this would be the new album that I fall in love with. I instantly bought it and have not stopped playing it since. Flobots is made up of 7 very talented musicians: two emcees, base guitarists, a drummer, viola, and trumpet player. They doavery goodjob at combining the feel of a rock song with the steady flow of a hip-hop song. Throughout their album the soft horns and violins compliment their use'of steady heavy beats in the background. I am usually not into political music but pretty much every song talks about an important issue that takes place in our world. Their lyrics, which talk about such issues as 9/11, Katrina, or the war in Iraq, not only criticize these issues but also talk about positive things that can be done to improve our way of life. I was a little hesitant when I found out their album preached ' about some of these events because many times hip-hop artists can stray from the real meaning of these issues in their songs, but Flobots do no such thing. I believe the track "Handlebars" is the best overall track with its exceptional blend of eerie lyrics and massive back-' ground drums, guitar, and violin. Other great tracks on the album include "Same Thing," "Rise," and "Mayday!!!" Flobots' perfect blend of rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album that you definitely need to check . out. v ^ �Tuesday; May 6, 2008 THE PRIDE By Tim Moore f Pride Stcgf Writer AIKEN by album sales, brings youtosfifthstudio release eek* off of their 1998 album "Stuà The dbum'sfirstsingle is the 6He track, *0n My Way Here. first children's' album.

Unethical Activities A large sample of the academic leaders in the community of Cal State San Marcos were asked what social issue they care about most. The following are the responses of those professors interested enough to formulate a reply. By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In March 2003, the California State Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft). Among the findings of the report are potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well as an inappropriate handling of funds that may have negative effects on the CSUSM students and faculty. "I am most concerned about the narrow focus on the individual - to the detriment of the community - in the United States these days. Too many people who enjoy the benefits of living in the US — the standard and quality of living, the civil liberties, the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more for themselves, without recognizing that in doing so, they may be depriving others in this country - and certainly many folks in other countries - of access to the fundamental needs for survival We do not \get it' that our lives are inextricably linked to the lives of people in virtually every country in the world - we need them as much as they need us (it's called complex interdependence) - and we should be civil and considerate of their needs" -Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science Conflict of Interest The report, initiated last spring by State Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell) and State Assembly member Manny Diaz (D-San Jose) at the request of the California Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of interest resulted in two CSU system senior executives, involved with the decision making process in acquiring technological supplies and services for the entire CSU system, engaging in potentially unethical behavior, some of which is unlawful. ees to disclose their personal assets and income. According to the report, the CSU system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over the relationship between CMS and the CSU system. California State Auditor Elaine Howie, discovered that two CSU system executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s eight-step analysis to determine whether an individual has a conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act of 1974. According to the eight-step analysis, any public official, including all employees of the CSU system, may not make, participate in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government decision, such as the procurement of CMS/ PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have reason to know, that the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material, financial effect on their economic interests." One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor David Ernst, who participated in the CMS procurement, which occurred in April of 1997, received income and compensation from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating meetings prior to the procurement, and for consultation fees after the procurement.

Vanpools leave and arrive at various times allowing students to get to class early and leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m. Although none of the university vanpools are f ree of charge ($50 a month), they provide students with economical and practical alternative methods of transportation. A high percentage of CSU San Marcos students are commuters. Traveling from as far as Temecula and Costa Mesa, Chula Vista and San Ysidro can be a strenuous process. Sociology senior Shana Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool. They probably aren't doing it because it would affect parking sales." Liberal Studies major and Temecula resident Matt Mestas expressed this same frustration with the J&e RIDE SHARING, page 5 �P eopleSoft E ditorial Staff E ditors-in-chief Alyssa Finkelstein 8c M artha Sarabia D esign 8c P hoto E ditor Desmond Barca N ews E ditor Gail Tarantino F eature E ditor Jennifer Acee A rts E ditor Chris Martin O pinion 8c A ssistant D esign E ditor Jason Padilla S panish E ditor ^ M artha Sarabia S ports E ditor Jessica G raduate I ntern 1 S taff W riters J ared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jeanne ft« Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel M artin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie Myres, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Ciindifi; Diana K.

By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer What Students Are Saying After years of hard work, stress, and mind throbbing yet gratifying accomplishments, many graduating seniors are required one last tedious duty: the graduation portfolio. Faculty and students have different opinions; both are left with the same question regarding how both the administration's expectations for the portfolio, as well as the expectations of students, can be successfully achieVed. The graduate portfolio is required for six different majors at CSUSM, including the multiple subject, liberal arts, and single subject waiver program in social science, history, literature and writing studies. (LTWR), math, and science. These are the degrees a student would obtain if s/he chooses to apply to a credential program. A portfolio consists of four original papers, complete with faculty comments from various semesters throughout CSUSM studies, as well as a 3-4-page reflection for each of the four entries. The final bound product is required to be turned in no less then one month before graduation. A flurry of chit-chat regarding this portfolio can be heard in many upper division classes on campus. These are the voices of angry seniors who feel that the portfolio requirement is just one more set of hoops they must jump through in order to satisfy the administration. Many feel that they were not warned about the graduation portfolio, and therefore had not felt the need to save their original papers. LTWR senior Nichole Jester said, "I just found out about them last semester and have not saved nearly enough work to represent my true challenges and intellect. Liberal studies major Gail Tarantino shares this concern as she "found out about the portfolio by word of mouth and by the liberal Studies blue sheet." Tarantino says that not once had any counselor or advisor mentioned it to her. The lack of communication between the faculty portfolio advisors and the students does not stop there; students are also expressing their frustration with its overall effectiveness. "I think it's pointless - the papers we turn in are already According to Susie Cassel, graded. If I turn in papers the original purpose if of that received an 'A' from my this portfolio was to act as an professor, whoever looks at the evaluative and reflective tool portfolio isn't going to fail my from which a student may portfolio," argued Tarantino. track their growth. It seems, Along with the "pointlessness" however, that the students on of the requirement, some campus have a slightly different students feel that it fails to act as testimony to opinion about its purpose. their accomplishments.

With an audience of approximately twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the CSUSM office of communications mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war with Iraq. The panel included Kent Davy, editor in chief of The North County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an Arab and Islam expert and editor of Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer and publisher of The Californian, the Riverside counterpart to The North County Times. In his opening statement, Davy referred to the embedded rules that journalists were expected to follow. Only two journalists violated these rules and were asked to leave; one being Geraldo Rivera. An audience member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control the media, to have certain agendas put forth. Was there a plan to spyfold information? Were correspondents taken out of line if they didn't act correctly?" Rienke answered, "Reporters did not have the time to think of other messages unlike in Vietnam."

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM university police department is offering new student identification cards to students who currently have their social security on their school ID. This change was made by administration in the middle of the fall 2003 semester. Thus, any student who has gotten an ID after that time should have a randomly selected number in place of the social security number. This change is in response to only one known person's request, made by a student with concern for the privacy of students' social security numbers. The change was quickly put in place in response HIGH GEAR!

According to an article published in The Pride during the fall 2003 semester, Jonathan Poullard, dean of students at CSUSM, was quoted as saying, "We are working to immediately phase out the use of SSNs on student IDs." Students can stop by parking services during their regular business hours in order to be issued a new student ID with a randomly selected student number, which will be printed on the card instead of the student's social security number. This will affect each student's log in for WebCT and Up until the middle of the fall also their ID number. 2003 semester, Cal State University San Marcos assigned students The number on the ID will be a student number that was actually used to identify the student and their social security number.

C ourtesy Photo. Danny " Slapjazz" Barber and Leland "Spoonful" Collings. Photo by Adrian Cundiff. By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The X-men sequel is one of the best adventure movies of recent years, better than the first, if not quite as much fun as last years' Spiderman. As an action movie, it delivers the requisite effects and action sequences, which are very impressive. Fine acting and attention to character make the movie unique and more memorable than most comic book movies. The characters are all greatly expanded from both their comic counterparts and the first movie, actually giving an emotional feeling to the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but possibly a little confusing to non-fans. While the first movie suffered from a pretty threadbare plot, this one may have a little too much. The film does an outstanding job of juggling the several storylines, even managing to tie them all together in a logical way. However, there are an awful lot of characters here- nearly everyone from the first movie returns, and every one of them evolves in some way. There are also several new characters, whom are also given an awful lot of plot and character burden. The best moments are of character interaction. Unfortunately, these moments are too often lost in the big action set pieces. material condescendingly. Not here. Nearly every returning character improves. On a particular note, the X-women- Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn Stamos all have a lot more screen time, and all make the most of it. However, Hugh Jackman makes the deepest impression as Wolverine. He is a natural at showing all sides of Wolverine's personality and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both bring classical acting skills to elder mutants Magneto and Professor X respectively. Among the new actors, Cummings has a very bad German accent, but he is good when it counts, as in his scenes with Storm. Brian Cox, as the hammy villain Stryker, was pretty annoying, though. The special effects and set pieces don't disappoint. From the opening scene of Nightcrawler attacking the White House to the duel between Wolverine and the similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is exciting and very well directed. The mutant's powers look realistic most of the time. The familiar settings that the mutants move through make their powers both unreal and strangely believable. Also impressive is the movie's depiction of telepathy, which is sorely underused as a superpower in film. The cacophony of voices Jean Grey is forced to hear give Jannsen one of her best moments. The It's not that you lose track of anyone. makeup on some characters is jarring, but But- well, take one of the new characters, impressive, and helps visualize the themes Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler.

He strikes up a flirtation with been Xmen's specialty. The lead characters Halle Berry's character- Storm, who is are mutants, outsiders from normal society. definitely not monstrous, and in this movie They are often seen as a metaphor for obviously holding back some anger at the oppressed groups. This provides very betrayals of the human world. The scenes emotional undercurrents, particularly in a between them are fascinating, with some "coming out" scene, where young Iceman very strong romantic undertones, and you reveals his mutant abilities to his family. start to wonder where their relationship Magneto represents the oppressed that could lead. It doesn't lead anywhere. The choose to physically strike back against the two characters aren't even present in the "normal" world, and the subplot involving final scene.

MacDonald's "Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer In 1964 author John D. MacDonald brought one of fiction's most imposing characters into existence. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" to this day represents perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of paperbacks. McGee first makes his appearance in MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye." MacDonald describes his creation as, "That big loose-jointed boat bum, that slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man named Travis McGee." Throughout the Travis McGee series MacDonald does a wonderful job with his descriptions of McGee as well as the other characters and situations that populate McGee's world. McGee is a harmless rogue who lives At one level McGee is the ultimate male aboard a large houseboat the "Busted fantasy character, a competent and indeFlush", which he won in a poker game. pendent non-conformist who lives entirely Our hero earns his living by retriev- by his wits and answers to no one.

The novels themselves are fast-paced and compelling. John D. MacDonald brought a wealth of experience to the Travis McGee series, having been a writer of suspense and science fiction for many years. MacDonald had earned his chops in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and economical and he can bring startling plot twists seemingly out of nowhere without the appearance of their being forced or contrived. During and immediately after WWII MacDonald served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor agency to the CIA. This may be the source of the detail and realism that pervades the "Travis McGee" series. The "Travis McGee" series is a classic in the detective novel genre and proof that the late John D. MacDonald was one of the twentieth century's master novelists. o CLASSIFIEDS 760-724-9423 EGG DONORS NEEDED Ages 19-29, $4,000 Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families 800-790-7633 PILLOWTOP MATTRESS SETS - BRAND NEW Orthopedic Mattress+Box.

While the efforts of The Pride may seem disjointed to some, the fact remains that students are free to write, rant, vent, or criticize anything that they choose. It's th^t freedom that the administration has sought to squelch. They cut the funding for the graduate intern, without whom the class cannot run. They cut it after the instructor applied for the funding for next year. That round goes to the administration. Without a free press, the game is lost. There is no question that our institution of higher education has ecome an institution of higher Ifees. Larger classes with fewer lass offerings are promised for the all semester. Educators are quiting, and presumably, moving on to niversities and colleges that place 'a higher value on the quality of education than does our own CSUSM.

Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies Department teacher at CSUSM said, "Unfortunately, much of the emphasis in education reform efforts is narrowly placed in improving schooling practices (e.g., instruction and curriculum) and not in addressing simultaneously the social context of education (e.g., poverty and exclusion)." I disagree. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational fundamentals of instruction and curriculum. Too much emphasis is placed on tolerance, diversity, and a host of other social and political issues which become irrelevant in a society that can't read, write, add, or think critically. Comments like Mr. Riquelme's cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college students. They are becoming less and less qualified to compete in the world because they have been shortchanged in their education. The teachers and professors who love learning and teaching are leaving the public school system. They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be free t o teach academic subjects to* students who want to be there, and be paid by parents who appreciate their talents. The disintegration of the grounds, the poor planning displayed by the administration in where l o hold which class, the lack of interest in what the students need, and the devaluation of the diploma, indicate a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong teaching staff, respect for students' time and money, and a newspaper that is free to print whatever is news, diversity and social issues are moot. It's too bad we can't all just take a semester off, and let the administration deal with that cash flow problem. 2003 CSVSM graduation May tT, 2003 May t?, 2006 Consolidation* At&l ! !

Holmes Contributing Writer T I 1 he federal government claims it supports expanded and alterna J L tive communications with pronouncements by Vice President Gore advocating government programs to advance the "Information Highway," but the behavior of the federal government behind the scenes is quite the opposite. Conflicting policies, outdated regulations, sluggish approval process and insensitive Washington bureaucrats are hampering efforts to build the information highway. Telecommunication companies, according to the Wall Street Journal, are concerned that government is setting up road blocks with a penchant for control. The FCC can accelerate or delay its approval to achieve whatever effect it wants. By controlling who can set prices and how much they can charge, the FCC determines who wins and who loses in the competition to widen the information highway. Consequently, of "2.9 million homes scheduled to be wired for video services, only 2.5% will actually get two-way services." Instead of facilitating the information highway, the FCC, FAA, ICC and other New Deal leftovers, act like sea anchors. The economy suffers accordingly. The FCC is not alone in its obstruction ofthe information highway. Thebeliefthat government can manage markets for the benefit of all is at the heart of the problem. The reality has always been that government involvement has the opposite effect Benefactors are usually the limited few who mean the most to there-election6f a congressperson. The latest excuse for government involvement, according to the June issue of MacUser Magazine, "is the ability to eavesdrop on your telephone calls, read your e- mail, and browse through your database files." The Clinton administration has declared that all electronic communications with federal agencies, must use a National Security Agency (NSA) data security technology called Escrowed Encryption Standard—the "Clipper chip." It allegedly safeguards data from hackers and industrial spies, but it has a "back door" that permits the government to engage in surveillance and detection. The Clipper chip has chilling ramifications and litde justification. The government claims to need the back door "to catch criminals and thwart terrorists," but how many of them are naive enough to use a phone or computer system they know the government can monitor, when they can use any of a number offreeor commercial encryption programs? Government surveillance via the Clipper Chip, many contend, violates the Fourth Amendment's guarantee to privacy. Yet the Clinton administration is encouraging businesses (particularly phone companies) to install the chip in their communications equipment. The big question, asks MacUser Magazine, "will the government eventually move from encouraging compliance to mandating it, essentially giving itself a key to yourfrontdoor—atleastyour digital front door T If the Clipper chip is intended to catch criminals, then it should be named PSP (Pretty Stupid People) after those who buy into i t If it is intended for domestic surveillance, that might explain govenment obstruction of the information highway until the only way you can get to it is through the Clipper chip. �Student Leaders University Ball Charge the Capital Sacramento, CA. The California State Student Association (CSSA) held its Student Lobbying Conference April 16-18. Students representing the 21 CSUs met to discuss the 1994 legislative agenda and how specific actions may affect the students. Leaders were given a quick review on thefinerpoints of lobbying by Dan Faulk, a professor at Humboldt State University. Students lobbied for several actions including student fee increases, trustee reform, and financial aid. "If the public does not fight hard enough to ensure an affordable education for students, fees will go up 24 percent and will push a lot of students out of the university system," said Andrea Wagner, CSSA rep from San Jose State University. Approximately 50 students were in attendance at the conference with Cal State University Northridge driving up six students to Sacramento. Humboldt State University has been making regular trips to Sacramento and has kept the student voice alive at the Capital. Raises versus Student Fees Assembly Bill 2714, authored by Assemblywoman Karnette, prohibits an increase in UC or CSU executive salaries, benefits, or perquisites in a year when student fees are increased at the respective university. Salaries for the top university executives rose an average of 160 percent at the UCs and 90 percentattheCSUsfrom 1982 to 1992. From 1982 to 1992, student fees have risen 135 percent at UCs and 190 percent at CSUs. Since 1908, fees have increased in every year except 1984—regardless of the state's fiscal condition. Had this bill been in effect, no executive increases would have been permitted for at least the past decade! You can help this bill get passed by contacting your local legislature or campus CSSA representative through your Associated Student government office. Get Involved! Students Support New Campus A resolution giving support to the opening of CSU, Monterey Bay was passed by the California State Student Association on April 17. It was unknown whether the student organization would pass this resolution because of the concerns the students have with current and future budget cuts. The sixteen member board voted \manimously to support this new campus. raises $32,000 Approximately 300 friends and supporters attended CSUSM's seventh annual University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance and silent auction were held at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. The Ball raised over $32,000 to support the educational mission of the university. These funds are allocated by the Foundation Board of Directors to support important projects and activities which are not State-funded, such as: seed money for emerging programs, special curriculum development work, academic grant development, community activities and lectures, annual community/campus events such as the Pow Wow and the International Festival. Among the distinguished guests were Senator William A. "Bill" Craven, Assemblyman Robert Frazee, Senator David Kelly, City of San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau, and City of Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis. As part of the evening's festivities, CSUSM President Bill Stacy presented Bill Daniels as the 1994 honoree for his many contributions to the world of business, community, government, and philanthropic organizations. Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos, chair of the event, stated, "The ball was an unqualified success. This was due to the hard work of the executive committee and the generous support of many individuals and corporations. In addition, to an elegant evening, these people helped provide CSUSM with additionalfinancialsupport, a margin of excellence, needed to move the new university forward." There were many large supporters of the Ball. Corporations or individuals who purchased $2,000-Star Tables included: H.F. Ahmanson, Connie L. Anderson, Senator William A. " Bill" Craven, Daniels Cablevision, Dudek & Associates, Inc., Hillman Properties, Dr. Byong Kim, KPMG Peat Marwick/David and Patti Down, Northern Telecom, Palomar Pomerado Health System, Rancho Coronado/Rancho Coronado Properties LP, San Diego Gas & Electric, San Diego Union-Tribune, Sharp Mission Park Medical Group, and Bill and Sue Stacy. In addition several individuals and companies donated $1000 or more for underwriting the Ball expenses. These included: Koll Company, Thornes Bartolotta McGuire & Padilla (attorneys), Robert Spanjian, Ralphs Grocery Company, Connie Anderson and Bob and Ruth Mangrum. Also contributing to the success of the evening were the efforts of Lucia Misiolek who coordinated the ticket sales and Marcia .Schaefer who coordinated the silent auction. fl.S.

The Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB) is considering this issue. An Open Forum on this issue was held on Tuesday, May 3. We are aware that many students may not have been able to attend this forum for many reasons. The Student Health Advisory Board is still eliciting comments and ideas concerning this important student issue. Information concerning the Mandatory Student Health Fee is available at Student Health Services or by contacting me or members of the board. The final meeting of the SHAB this semester will be Tuesday, May 10, at 11 AM. Please, try to respond by this meeting since a recommendation will be developed that will be effective for the fall, 1994 semester. Along with the ongoing provision of primary and preventive health care as well as special augmented services, Student Health Services has a daily impact on your health and safety at CSUSM. Student Health Services insures the immunization status on all CSUSM students and administers vaccinations, protecting CSUSM students and staff from Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infectious diseases. Student Health Services keeps your classmates healthy, so they don't spread diseases to you. And when your classmate is too sick to attend class, we can work with the student and the instructor to excuse the absence for medical reasons in order to encourage the students to stay home and get well. Also, pharmacy services are available providing low cost prescription medications and, in the near future, selected over-thecounter products. We offer first aid and urgent care to call CSUSM students, staff and visitors. We will be involved in the campuswide emergency plan and will be at the center of any response to earthquake, fire or other major disasters. We provide medical support to major campus events, such as graduation. Health and Wellness information, materials and health education programs are provided to the campus as a whole.

But thousands die on our highways each year because of one bad habit. So getintoagoodhabitand buckle your safety belt. It could change your life. Children depend on us to keep them safe from harm. One of the easiest ways to do this is always buckle them into a child safety seat. Buckle, em up! Those of you who know first hand and have witnessed the effectiveness of safety belts, pass on the experience to a friend. Fun facts : Women are more safety conscious than men, with 63% always buckling up, versus 51% of the men. Drivers of silver cars are more likely to buckle up. Those who drive blue, black, and maroon cars are least likely to wear safety belts. BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE!

Teaching Diversity Through Racism Roy Latas StaffWriter According to the CSUSM Mission Statement attending this university, "provides an atmosphere in which students c an experience a challenging education in a supportive environment, preparing them to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity " Exposing students to cultural diversity and global perspectives can present an enormous task for educators when our traditions have traditionally brought a different relevance to education. Oddly enough, an exceptional opportunity to study the African American viewpoint came this semester, but not as part of the Upper-Division General Education requirement. The educational opportunity lies in English400H: Major Authors-Ishmael Reed. Do not feel badly if you have not heard of Reed; he was hailed almost 20 years ago as a dynamic voice of the African American community and was nominated for two Pulitzer prizes in 1969. Yet recently, Reed has fallen out of his avant garde favor by displeasing feminists and segments of the African American scholastic community. The class has been taughtduring the Spring semester by Dr. Kenneth Mendoza who has exceptional foresight by bringing Ishmael Reed's work to light This Major Authors course has studied novels with the descriptive titles of Terrible Twos, Yellow Back Radio-Broke Down, Airing Dirty Laundry, Writing is Fighting and Mumbo Jumbo, to name a few. The class discussions revolve around the topics of misogyny, oral traditions in literature, blasphemy, rhetorical style, intraintercultural relations, and the accuracy of accepted historical facts. A female Liberal Studies major states, "Perhaps things you don't want to see or hear may be beneficial when trying to understand the nature of ethnic problems." Reed's dynamic voice challenges the faint of heart and the culturally biased reader with the frank and graphic language of a scholar gup E 2gS Sfl who has battled racism throughout his life. English major Greg Marre commends Reed's literary style as being "straightforward and not worried about who he will offend." Reed's accounts of the African American community seeking dignity in American society provide this reader with a cultural immersion that I have not found in other classes on this campus. Ishmael Reed's unique heritage encompasses the African, French, Irish, and Cherokee cultures which highlight some of the most seriously repressed cultural groups within our society over the last 100 years. Reed's novels approach racism through a satirical vein that questions economic policies, religious dogma, and outdated cultural biases. English majors find Reed's novels challenging because of an oral style of writing that neglects formal punctuation in several of the novels under study, yet the orality of the texts gives a conversational flavor that draws any reader into a personal involvement with the characters. English major Jeff Keehn comments, "As Reed reflects the complex composition of the modern human sensibility, he questions monolithic and monocultural biases." The novels of Ishmael Reed explain both the ideology of the oppressors and the oppressed in a way that the readers can place their opinions while realizing the implications of those opinions. The diversity pledged by CSUSM will evolve as our campus matures; however, the vehicles used to approach human unity through understanding diversity need to create an attitude of solidarity among humanity instead of the currently accepted separatebut-useful cultural recognition that pervades our society. Reed shows the complicated network of racism in America, and by understanding the conventions that produce racism, students deliberate on the vehicles to eliminate it. CSUSM's aggressive waste reduction program has received enthusiastic response from the campus community. Since the program has been in effect for a significant period of time, a survey of the population serviced will be taken in order to evaluate the program and make improvements where necessary. You are encouraged to take a few minutes of your time to complete the brief survey which has been mailed to you. Your completed survey may be dropped off at: Admissions and Records, Associated Students Office, Duplication Center, Library Circulation Desk, or University Store Customer Service Window. Completing the survey will assist the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee in developing an even more effective program. �CSUSM's Presidential Service Award Winners Leticia Iglesias with family members and other student award recipients.

And forcing citizens to look at each other and treat one another as Lawrence M. Ludlow K Franklin members of this group or that group, only hurts us all in the end. Yes, we may look different and speak different and even act different. But for government to solidify and galvanize those differences, only perpetuates the problem. All the feel-good programs lawmakers have passed, have failed to acknowledge the smallest unit of society, the individual. It is because of individual effort, that we are living longer, healthier and more comfortable lives. It was individuals using their minds—not because this race or that ethnic group or that gender caused it to happen. It was the individual, the enterprising, thinking individual. You want to protect endangered species? A private individual in Kenya is already doing it. Where once a dying population of elephants was nearing extinction, it is now flourishing because the elephants are owned and protected as private property by an "individual," with no cost to the taxpayer. Why the insistence on government to care for us? Is it because we don't trust one another anymore? Government has made us paranoid focusing its efforts on our differences, that we have forgotten we are all members of the same species—human. Can you trust a government that subsidizes tobacco and alcohol, and conducts radiation experiments on its own citizens, to care for your health, your welfare, or your child's education? Some of us have lost faith that man, acting freely, and on his or her own behalf, willdowhatisbestforhimselforherself. It's only through voluntary cooperation between individuals, not force, that we will achieve what is in each person's self-interest. We know this as thefreemarket. By dispersing power onto each individual, the free market provides a safety valve against the concentration of power. To give away our right to govern ourselves to a small band of thugs and think that they have our interests at heart, is as naive as it is a sure recipe for tyranny (and a lot less freedom). Someone once said that justice is blind. I choose to stay blind when it comes to humanity. When I look at people, I do not see members of aminority, ethnic, or racial group. All I see are faces of individuals. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Morality in the Classroom Setting Our Sights Too High Dear Editor: Dear Editor: Concerning the article, "Cliche in the Classroom": Mr. Huntington asserts, that "the future of our children depends upon" the removal of the three conservative Christian school board members in Vista. The atrocity these board members have committed is a recent move to focus sex education curriculum on abstinence rather than a "detailed discussion of methods of birth control at a time when the proper use of a condom could very easily mean the difference between life and death." It seems that Mr. Huntington finds such a move "morally repugnant." Mr. Huntington, your belief that birth control should be emphasized is morally repugnant. It is a fact that condom failure ratings are, at best 11 percent. Should we then teach "children" that it is perfectly allright to have sex using a condom when the chances of failed protection is 11 percent or higher? Would you, Mr. Huntington, send your child to school if there was an 11 percent chance she would contract a deadly disease? No, you would not. You, like any other sensible parent, would make your child abstain from putting themsetves lii such a deadly position, i , and many other people, can testify that abstinence is not an unrealistic "cliche." Furthermore, abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding STDs. Moral repugnance occurs when moral recluses deceive children about the real facts of STD prevention. David Michael Bruno I do believe we are setting our sights too , high heape on our CSUSM campus. I t's time -fof Ml of us to lower our sights, at least temporarily, to see the mess that is under our feet. The concrete plazas, walkways, decks and stairways, are showing signs of the worst disregard for civility, manners and aesthetics that any college campus, especially such a new one, should be forced to exhibit. I t's not only smokers, and spitters, but the gum chewers as well. Is it just another way to be"COOL" or "RAD"? I'll bet your parents said that we all have a responsibility "not to foul our nest." Or perhaps you had to be too neat at home, so now you're rebelling. Do you throw lit cigarettes from your car windows (a fine if you're caught, maybe a destructive fire if you're not)? Do you drop gum and gum wrappers wherever you travel (a sign of adolescence, not adulthood)? Come on, people, we are 8ffeaStcollege juniors here at San Marcos. Do we need to translate this message into Japanese or Spanish, fifth-grade English or "valley-girl" and put it on :si^fts '2ilI ovdf campus? Or can you al make a conscious, adult decision to snuff out the cigs in sand or use some other safe disposal method. And throw the damn gum in the trash, not the recyling bins, the trash!

However, Merryl Goldberg, assistant professor at California State University, San Marcos found that using poetry as an educational tool dramatically improved students' reading and writing abilities, attention, comprehension, and most importantly, enthusiasm about learning and expressing knowledge. In researching the uses of poetry in a 4th grade classroom in Southern California, Goldberg found that using poetry in the classroom resulted in students doing far more writing and reading, and showing a higher level of comprehension on what they are reading. flower -Like aKeezefloatiiiJ ronger p et^s'tebsq f^iw fit l IptilMy a stemi^j lill f | l S S i l l ! I I weak tl "When the rules of grammar and syntax are eliminated, as they can be in poetry, writing becomes playful. This can set the stage for children who are developing their English skills to work with words and ideas. Students learn best when they are engaged and are having fun, and there is no question that is exactly what is going on when students are doing poetry," explained Goldberg. Writing poetry led naturally to reading poetry. "Children in the class are devouring books on poems," Goldberg explained. The project improved selfesteem and helped shy students overcome their reluctance to speak in front of others. It enabled a student with behavioral problems to blossom, and it was a source of inspiration for students who were learning to read." Goldberg further found that writing poetry helps students gain understandings of subject matter, such as science. "Writing poetry requires action and attention on the part of the student, so they get a deeper understanding of the subject," said Goldberg. One student composed a poem on meteors after a science lesson: Meteors fly like a fly. Maybe it's a butterfly with its wings spread high in the sky. Goldberg's students have written poems on numerous subjects including sharks, family, oceanography, and holidays around the world.

Congratulations! VOLUNTEER COUNSELORS NEEDED FOR SPECIAL SUMMER CAMP Counselors are needed for Camp-ALot, a residential summer camp program at Palomar Mountain that is operated by ARC-San Diego (Association for Retarded Citizens). The camp provides children and adults who have developmental disabilities with the opportunity to participate in regular summer camp activities such as hiking, swimming, arts and crafts. Ordinarily some 100 campers, from ages 6 through adult, attend each of the four sessions. "Our ratio of counselors to campers is much higher than you would find in a regular camp situation," said Lin Taylor, camp director. "If we don't have enough counselors, we have to turn away campers and they do not get this wonderful opportunity to learn about nature." Counselors are needed for sessions runningfromJuly 5 through Aug. 16. A children-only session will run Aug. 1115. Volunteer counselors must be 18 or older and make a commitment to complete at least one camp session. No experience is necessary and orientation will be provided. Counselors receive room, board, transportation to and from the camp, Taylor said. • Room available to serious, mature student on ranch in Escondido. References required. Call 745-6506.

W hen asked where he sees himself in five years, Villalobos answered, " I see myself working as a teacher at a community college teaching English or English as a Second Language. I also see myself writing and publishing my work. It might sound a little too dreamy, but I believe in dreams. Obtaining a BA in Literature and Writing was my dream, and it came t rue."

I came to t his c ountry when I w as 17-years-old following a d ream, the d ream of having a b etter education, and 11 y ears later, now that I have g raduated and that I have a p rofession, I can say that I have reached that d ream.

Yes, indeed my favorite movie in all it's ass kicking glory. Unfortunately, it's not what I 'm talking about today. In a relationship, there are going to b e rough waters in a sea of love. But thankfully, you have a lifeboat with multiple relationship shipwreck survival kits (ok, this shipwreck analogy has gone f ar enough). Long story short, if a relationship is going to last, you're both going to r un into some snags that will get on each other's nerves. The point is to address these issues to each other before they become much bigger problems than they already are. For example, let's j ust p retend you and your partner are in a pretty decent relationship and have been happy for a good couple of months. Everything is great but the only problem continues to persist is your p artner's consistent use of a word you might not like (example, go with it). Slowly but surely, they're going to continue t o u se it while you stay quiet, hence they're going to t hink it's perfectly fine to use it because he has yet to r un into a confrontation about it. Eventually, i t'll start to eat away at you until finally the only to stop it is to break up because it has grown into such an ingrained reflex. The point is to stop this and address it before it destroys your relationship, it's like some kind of Batman complex. Christian Bale thought it'd be great to speak in a g ruff, low tone when he ran around in his black leather and cape (...wow, I j ust made a weird connection) and Katie Holmes (Rachel) didn't seem t o much care for it. A nd (I would assume), that is the reason why Katie Holmes was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Chances are she d idn't like it much either, and look what happened. She got blown up. You see, the power of not addressing problems could lead to consequences that might not b e too favorable to the partners. It probably won't cause your partner to be blown u p by a clown, but it's an analogy (ok, maybe the Batman reference was a little over the top, but the power of not addressing issues might suck eventually). The point is to address concerns for the betterment of you and yours. D on't use " you" statements. Example: Well you never take out the trash! If you're going to address an issue that you have, own u p to it. Don't blame the other person, talk to them and work together to start a solution and b e open to critiques yourself as well. Remember that it's ok to fight. It's not an unhealthy relationship if y'all have discrepancies once and awhile. Make sure you both are comfortable, happy, and able to express yourselves respectfully. Now, if you'll excuse me, I t hink I 'm o ff to go cuddle up with a girl I like and watch everyone's favorite billionaire r un around in a tight black crime fighting outfit (It has gadgets! Ok, I 'm done with the sexual innuendos). THE PRIDE "Up" will be the best movie of the summer BY BILL R HEIN Senior Staff Writer The Disney/Pixar powerhouse has done it again. Once again, the studio pair is serving a triumphant piece of animation. " Up" looks stunningly beautiful and appears to have a story to match. I have no doubt that "Up" will b e the best film this summer. Last summer, Disney/Pixar's "Wall-E" went toe-to-toe with "The Dark Knight" and "Ironman," and I think it bested every other piece that summer. This year, a slew of other films will be competing for the top spot, yet "Up" looks so sharp, I know it will be the best. I get excited every time I see a new trailer for "Up." First, the animation is beautiful. The characters and scenes are beautifully brought to life, and I cannot wait to see it in 3-D. The art department of Disney/Pixar embarrasses other studios such as DreamWorks. "Up" looks beautiful and the story and characters look memorable and impressive. It is an original story about a man who uses thousands of balloons to fly away in his house and savor his last days. It is silly and simple, but also appears to be genuinely h eartwarming. I do not fall for sappy films, but I trust that this one will be subtle and meaningful. Amidst all the blockbusters, "Up" will possess the right blend of character development, plot, action, art, and entertainment. I cannot see "Wolverine," "Star Trek," or "Harry Potter" matching this film's power. I am looking forward to seeing many movies this summer, but none more than "Up." I already know " Up" will outdo "Coraline," "Monsters vs. Aliens," "Battle of Terra" and " 9" for the 2010 Academy Award for Best Animated Picture. If the Academy Awards were not so prejudiced against animated films, I would go as far to say they might nominate " Up" for Best Picture. Yet, that is not until next March. I can hardly wait to revel in the 3-D beauty and majestic story of "Up." Image courtesy ofDisney AIDS in Africa BY COREY K ERN b elieve t hat A IDS o riginated h uman i mmunodefiin A frica.

C 44W / �THE PRIDE Faces & Places Tuesday; May 05> 2009 Students love/hate relationship with group projects Fall enrollment update What doesn't kill you makes you stronger BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer The popularity of working in groups is a growing feature to many classes, though students may express that group projects o ften add more stress to a class, CSUSM professors argue that the benefits outweigh the groans. Finding t ime t o meet up, sending emails that never get answered, stressing out the day before the project is due and o ften picking up the slack of that one person that d idn't do any work is seen as the common group project scenario, but gaining experience in working with others sooner than later can benefit students in the long r un. "The ability to work well in groups is a highly sought a fter and prized skill. Proving you have the experience and skills to do group work will be an asset to students' portfolio of j ob skills and talents," said Professor Jerry Breckon of the Political Science department. Breckon most often assigns group projects in his classes and believes that the interpersonal skills, coordination between group members and the diverse ideas presented t o meet the project's requirements are skills that students will most likely need in their f uture careers. " I can remember group work in my college days. It brings me a great deal of satisfaction to start out in a group where no one knows each other, but by working and striving together the group can produce a quality end product." Working with strangers can be the hard- est part of the projects, especially when teachers decided that the whole group gets one grade. " I've had a pretty good experience working with groups," said Business major, Kristina Maniquis. "The hardest thing was trying to find a time the whole group could meet, with work and everyone having different schedules and other engagements." Other problems can make group work difficult. "Granted, you always run in to those who don't want to do the work, but that is part of the challenge to motivate them to join the team and be productive," continued Breckon. Working in a group isn't all stress. It offers other perks that just can't be produced in individual work. "Four minds work better than one. Getting different perspectives and ideas really help in a group e nvironment," said Maniquis. "I do believe that a successfully r un group can produce a superior product over that of a single individual work- BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer ing on a project. The simple fact is in a group you have more than one person contributing ideas, concepts, solutions, time, and e ffort. Those are all positive aspects of having more than one person work on the project," said Breckon. Allison Carr, the Social Sciences Librarian at our Kellogg Library, often works with students on group assignments and views group work as a valuable part of school and work. "Group work in college will help you get used to working with diverse personalities and strengths. I absolutely think that group work is helpful to prepare for f uture careers," said Carr.

I ~ i w �BY JESSENIA LUA Pride Staff Writer Cinco de Mayo is o ften celebrated in the United States w ith big p arties and lots of people. It is a U.S. holiday and can b e c onfused as M exico's I ndependence Day. It is rarely celebrated in Mexico f or the date is not as i mportant as September 16. September 16 is M exico's a ctual I ndependence Day and its s ignificance is f ar more i mportant t han Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo m arks the v ictory of the M exican A rmy over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The French a rmy was in Mexico w ith the intention to c reate an Empire u nder Napoleon I II. In 1862, when t he French a rmy r efused to leave Mexico, G eneral I gnacio Z aragoza o rdered about 4 ,500 M exican soldiers to d efeat the French army. T he M exican soldiers were o utnumbered t wo to one and were still able to d efeat the French. In the U.S., the Battle of Puebla canie^to be k nown as Cinco de Mayo and many people c onfuse it as M exico's I ndependence Day. Over t ime, Cinco de Mayo has b ecome much c ommercialized and m any p eople see t his holiday as a t ime f or f un, d anse^anck c hinking. U nfortunately, Cinco de Mayo is h ighly advertised t o m ainly b ring in m oney t o p roducts. A round t he t ime, e ndless a dvertisements of alcohol are seen and the f ocused e ffort h as s erved the i ndustry well. A lcohol-industry spokesmen say t heir a dvertising is t argeted at r esponsible, legal-age d rinkers, but t hat's not the message seen f rom the p romotional blitz that h as led up to t oday's Mexican-American holiday, Cinco de Mayo. W hen images of f ive a ttractive young L atinas, b eers in h and, f lirting w ith "a guy n amed Mayo," or an o ffer by Sol b eer to " taste the Sol of Cinco," the image p ictured is of e thnic p ride being used as a m arketing prop to e ncourage d rinking among L atino and C hicano youth. Cinco de Mayo should be celebrated f or the v ictory and s trength the people had d uring that b attle and not b e m isconstrued f or Mexico's i ndependence. It also s houldn't b e t aken advantage of to p romote alcohol. M exico's I ndependence Day o ccurred on September 16 when in 1810, Miguel H idalgo y Costilla, a local p riest, led h is people to r ise up a gainst the Spanish Crown. Since the early 1500s, Spanish c onquistadors came to Mexico t aking oveggfae, local r ulers and claiming the land f or Spain. They enslaved Image courtesy ofSaberone many and looted what t hey could of Mexico's t reasures. For over 300 y ears, Mexico, then called New Spain, was a p art of S pain's empire. W hen Miguel H idalgo y Costilla s tarted a revolt a gainst the Spanish r ule in 1810, he and h is u ntrained I ndian followers f ought a gainst the Spanish. H is revolt w as u nsuccessful and Father H idalgo was executed. Soon a fter H idalgo's execution, Father Jose M aria Morelos led the revolutionaries. U nfortunately, Father Morelos f ailed and w as a lso executed. In 1821, a fter the M exican-born Spanish and the Catholic C hurch j oined the revolution, Spain w as f inally d efeated. Mexico celebrates t heir I ndependence Day on S eptember 16 e very year, the a nniversary of t he s tart of Father H idalgo's revolt. Even t hough M iguel H idalgo y Castillo and Jose Maria Morelos f ailed in t heir a ttempt to f ree Mexico, they still a re symbols of liberty and p atriotism.

Their version of the carne asada burrito is outstanding, especially If it's burritos you're after, then with a few beans added. It will not burritos you shall get! What better only satisfy your hunger, but also way to close out a semester than leaves your stomach smiling and indulging in a tasty burrito or two thanking you for such a delicious on Cinco de Mayo? Within a short treat. If you're not a fan of burridrive from campus, there are plenty tos, their taquitos are the next best of options to satisfy the craving for thing.

Next up, Sombreros Mexican First up, Mr. Taco, with two locations, Mr. Taco, the original, off Food, home of Blink-182 fans Mission Road, and Mr. Taco #2 everywhere (and yes, I have h admy right across the street, both offer girlfriend, now fiancée, bring me up a vast selection of traditional Mexican food from Sombrero's just Mexican food, not to mention a nice, because).

Sombrero's offers your standard Mexican food restaurant menu at reasonable prices. However, Sombrero's portions are enough to have lunch and leftovers for dinner. A favorite is the beef chimichanga plate that consists of a hefty deep fried burrito of deliciousness filled with strictly shredded beef, topped with guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream,rice,and beans are served on the side of this heavy weight. Currently, Sombreros is having a Cinco de Mayo special, where select combos are $5 (+tax) each. (^^rlopked^ b i ^ t o hot i ggp is" Albertaccfc, ;lydden iiv the Home Depot shopping center off San Marcos Blvd., it is a late night (or anytime of the day) awesome place for some killer carne asada french fries or an out of this world California burrito. Albertaco's guacamole is really what sets this establishment apart from any other Mexican food restaurant. Most places, it is rather t he bland and somewhat blends in with Photo by Rudy Martinez the food. However, theflavorin their batch enhances every element in any dish it is served with. Another bonus that Albertacos has is that it is open 24/7, which is awesome for those late night study breaks (or to further your procrastination) from finals. , Other honorable m otions include Taco Pablos, Santanas, Jilbertos, and Taco Bell. Taco Pablos, off San Marcos Blvd. and Grand Ave., offers more of a half-service dining experience, where they bring your order, and on actual plates too! The place has less of a casual restaurant feel^ but not quite the full-service, sit downrestaurant Pablos offers restaurant style food ^and prices. It's good, but if you're looking for a quick bite, you might want to try another place. Santana's, hidden behind Arbys off San Marcos Blvd. just past Las Posas Rd., is a hidden gem, but unless you are a die hard fan, live close to it, or just want to try it for the heck of it, Santana's is rather out of the way. However, it is open 24/7 and has superb came asada nachos and rolled tacos (taquitos). Jilbertos, located within the AM/ PM off the Nordahl exit, is a relative of the Alberto's chain and has a similar menu. I'm just not too crazy on going to a gas station for a burrito. However, if you are ever in the Temecula area, there is another J ik bertos located off the 79/Temecula Pkwy exit, that I know is outstanding. I have to mention Taco bell even though its not ' 'rear' Mexican food. I do rather enjoy their double-decker tacos. T h & you have it—an unofficial gpid^ t s theibutfitp hot sj>ots around campus. Whether the ¿laving hits you as you read this£ or at 2:00 a.m. when the letters on your computer screen start doing the Mexican hat dance in the final paper you're writing, you have options' Happy Cinco de Mayo, good luck during finals, and have a great summer!

Floating images of every imaginable color radiated with an intensely soft brightness. I was in a state of feathery consciousness. My head felt like an effervescent mid-summer dream But this was not a dream, rather a reality that sees the Earth's core through a tree house window. A blue pillow tingled my hands with an oceanic breeze, a sensation felt by a sense of knowing, rather than a nerve signal White plastic bonfires fumed up toy pirate ships. Queenbed frames carried European Porsches. A cabin spew vapors, bleeding the sky with moonlit cherry red paint. Wispy wind, bird chirps, chlorine waves, young boy and giii screamsfilledmy eardrum As soon as peace iced my weightless body, the surroundings rushed away. The spiraling color waves vanished into tight space. My eyes popped open, pain that needled my backribcage. Bryan stood atop a massive boulder, peering with concern, as Tim lay flat on the ground The soft crashing of the lake's waves seemed to be the only sound in the air. The small sea of pebbles along the shore gave support to the paramedic's black boots. Bryan rushed over to Tim in hopes to see hisfriend'sconditioa Bryan noticed Tim's relaxed cheek muscles. Each pound to Tim's chest did not seem to affect him. Tim's face did not portray any sharp cuts or dirty bruises. At the moment Bryan noticed Tim's peaceful face, Bryan backed away from the scene, but still hoped to see any movement that Tim might make. One of the paramedics yelled, "We got him." Bryan slowed his jog to a crunching stop, wishing to see Tim's blue eyes open. Tim opened his eyes, but did not make eye contact with Bryan. Tim kept blinking his eyes in irritation. Tim turned his head to the right slowly, recognizing Bryan's presence. Tim managed to raiseathumb. Bryan gave a thumbs up back, allowing his body to feel a reassuring emotion for his friend. Four paramedics lifted the stretcher in unison, as Tim's body rocked slightly with each heave. Bryan dropped his butt onto the bed of shoreline pebbles. He experienced nothing but complete disbelief. The lake view half-registered into his eyesight, as he pondered what just happened. Tim's heart had stopped beating. The paramedics tried to resuscitate him back to life for nearly two minutes. The relentless pounding ofTim's chest seemed like an endless wave. The wave of desperation and hope swilled in the nature mist Bryan took a few steps back again and dropped to his knees. He prayed without saying any words. Paige, Cole, Evan, Amy, and Kimberly came running out of the forest with shock. Paige asked, "What happened Bryan? We heard the ambulance THE PRIDE sirens. Oh my gosh, what happened to Tim, is he ok? Bryan responded, "It looks like Tim will be ok now. His heart stopped beating, but they were able to bring him bade to life. Everybody in the group posed expressionless feces. Paige broke the silence and asked "how were you able to contactthe paramedics? Bryan said With a smile, "I didn't contact anybody. A moose attacked Tim and me and wefelloffthe canoe. We drifted apart, deep into the lake, but I was able to swim back to the shore. I completely lost sight of Tim when he drifted away. Iranalongthe shore and eventually found Tim lying onthebeaclL Once I found Tim, the ambulance just happened to be driving along thisroad,it's only a hundred yards from here, and they must have seen Tim's motionless body. Evanreplied,"Oh my G od" Bryan simply said, "Yeah, I know." Evan said, "Well, this has definitely been a f un trip, let's go to Tim's hospital before we head back home, ok guys? Paige responded, "Yeah, I don't really Jmow how toreactto this. Ijust hope Tim is going to be ok." Bryan reassured her, 'Trust me, I know Tim, he will befine,everything will be fine." As the group slowly walked up toward the forest road, Cole sarcastically said, ' 1 think Tim will be the first one to say that this was a realty fun trip."

If Grace and Jeff Hagen established this same diner in the period i n which it is themed then there would be no surprise to see some of America's favorite 1950s celebrities enjoying alltime American favorites, hamburgers, and ice cream. Hotshot Burgers, a hamburger and ice cream diner, has reached its 5-year milestone this year by gracing North County San Diego with some of America's favorite foods, burgers, and ice cream.

Put on Asher Roth's "I Love College" and just vibe with me for a few paragraphs. "I'm nice right now, I feel good. If you have a drink, would you please put it in the air..." The salty solution running down my cheeks might blur my vision but it won't blur my thoughts. For my last "EF," I'd like to introduce my favorite beer, Heineken Light. With only 99 calories and a mouthful of flavors, it's a well-rounded beer. How does it taste? Like my last column, it's bittersweet. I'm also drinking it in my favorite glass. It has a bell and a four-leaf clover engraved on the top. I love college. It's been a blast. The journey began in seventh grade. Rewind. One night, I saw my mum burst into tears as she often did upon reading her son's grade reports. Both of her sons were performing poorly in school, again, my brother in high school, and myself in middle school. I'd had enough. I made a promise to myself that I would never cause my mum grief over grades again. I went from 2.0s to 4.0s in the span of one summer. Being the first one in my family to pursue a four-year degree, I knew I had set upon a challenging yet rewarding path. Thank you to all of those who guided me when I was lost, as I finally found myself accepted into CSUSM. You know who you are. Fast forward. After switching to the College of Business from a Literature and Writing major, I found I still longed to write. However, I had no channel, no medium to transfer my thoughts to text. I used to scan "The Pride." I loved the Ombudsman columns. Then I saw an advertisement one day from "The Pride" asking for writers. Little did I know that attending a quick information session on how the school paper works would change my life forever. Fast forward. I've now written for "The Pride" for three years. I've had around 120 articles published. Writing for the paper enhanced my experience at San Marcos. I felt more in tune with my environment. The different assignments forced me to discover some unique and exciting aspects at CSUSM. As soon as my training wheels were off, I shot-gunned for the "Beer of the Week" column. David Bauer mentored me through thefirstfewcolumns before I found my niche. Thank you. I wrote under several Editors-inChief: David Gatley, Jason Encabo, Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac, and lastly Jackie Carbajal. I'm sure I wasn't their favorite writer. I consistently turned my articles in on Friday nights instead of the set deadline of Thursday nights. They have each allowed me to grow as a writer. Thank you all. Pause. I'd like to dedicate this paragraph to Joan Anderson. She supervises the paper. THE PRIDE M ay the T UKWUT spirit live on forever She is a devoted and caring professor. She is always there to ensure the paper runs efficiently and properly. Without her influence, I don't know where "The Pride" would be. She even helped me when I applied to a magazine called "Honda Tuning." She directed me through the process and with her guidance, I can proudly say that I have published 15 articles in 9 issues with "Honda Tuning." Thank you. Play. My writing career with "The Pride" is ending in a few keystrokes. I am thankful I've had the opportunity to write for the paper. It made me grow from a person who liked to write, into a professional writer. This will be my last column. I'm officially signing out. I should be attending the MBA program at CSUSM Starting in the fall, but I've yet to receive the official acceptance. My Nana always told me as a kid to count the chickens after they hatch. Even if I get accepted, I will not be writing for the paper. The time has come to pass the torch. I look forward to read- ing future "Exclusively Fluid" columns. And this last paragraph is for all of you, my readers, my fellow Cougars, my professors, my CSUSM staff, and my people. It's been one crazy trip, hasn't it? A hh.. .man.. .1 love college. So raise your glasses, raise 'em high toward the sky, and keep 'em raised. I'd like to make a toast. "The pleasure was all mine. May the Tukwut spirit live in all of us forever." ^ ^ ^ ^ C heers mates! And I'm out like a faded and torn pair of c orduroys. It's not goodbye, it's next time. Peace.

On May ! , students joined hundreds of their fellow community members for a 24-hour long walkathon on Mangrum Field with the sole aim of raising awareness for cancer related issues. Participants in Relay for Life formed teams that were responsible for seeking donations and keeping at least one member walking the track at all times. The event was just one of many events like it to take place across the nation. The 55 teams that registered for the event comprised a broad spectrum of interests, bringing together CSUSM student organizations, community groups, local businesses, families, and interested individuals from nearby neighborhoods for a single cause. Though all teams were involved in fundraising efforts, members of The Defending Circle distinguished themselves from the rest by raising $11, 320. Soaring past their goal of $2,400, The Defending Photo by Blake Morse Circle says, "Fighting cancer groups across the country have is a team effort.

In this, my final piece, I want to share what I learned from writing and living because I have figured out the secret of life and the point of our existence. I have heard the question of our existence asked in books, movies, songs, and daily life. I think I figured out the answer to this divine question. The secret to a happy and whole life is love. This might sound like a cheesy or naive answer, but I think I need to spell it out because so many people are missing it. A human being has roughly 70 to 80 years to live, and that is all. Aware of my mortality, I try not to waste any of the time I have. I direct my effort to doing what I like. Going to school might not be the funnest thing, but it is only as bad as you make it. It is tough now, but I am excited for the job I will have once I finish. At my part time job now, sometimes it feels like I'm watching the clock counting down the hours until I can go home. This is counter productive though, because I am just counting down the hours of my life, which are limited. This is where love comes in.

If you cannot find some pleasure in your job, quit. There is no point to wasting your time on something you do not like, even for a paycheck. In the end, it does not matter how much money you have, because whether you believe in heaven or not, you cannot take your earnings with you. Spend as much time with your family and friends and I promise you will be happier. It is a simple answer, but it is the best one I have found. Capitalism, consumerism, and petty differences distract people from this truth. The Beatles had it right decades ago. All you need is love. Follow that, and anything else that matters will come with you. I S 'IL Image courtesy of dl23c.com YOUR DADDY?

Windows 7 will grant quicker access t o. files, allow users to manage open windows easier and connect to wireless networks better. System sleep and resume is faster as well as a longer battery life and improved security, according to Instructional & Information Technology Seryices (IITS). For more information on Windows 7 and how to use it, visit http://www.csusm.edu/iits/ support/win7/. IITS has tested Windows 7 with all the applications that the campus uses. Some faculty and staff are currently testing Windows 7 to give more feedback in order to make sure the system is reliable for the whole campus to use. CSUSM switched from Windows XP to Windows Vista last year due to the declining support from Microsoft for XP. By moving to Windows Vista, IITS was able to test whether the transition to Windows 7 was achievable. IITS has said that the Windows 7 user interface will be intuitive and easy to use as it is very similar to Windows Vista.

G oodbye America Experiences of Studying Abroad BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer Coming to America is something that I think most people outside of this country dream of doing one day and for most people they can only spend around two weeks here. I have been fortunate enough to live in Southern California for a full academic year and this has been an amazing experience. Over the course of the year I have noticed many differences, many similarities, taught people a few things about the UK and learnt a lot about America as well. Unless someone comes here, it is hard to imagine how spread out and big everything is out here, America could fit the UK in its back pocket and carry it around. The reliance on a car is a major aspect of living here that I noticed; in the UK, people can just about get away with not having a car due to the public transport system. In the US, the public transport system is not as developed and structured, which makes the car a necessity to get anywhere. I have felt limited sometimes with the lack of access to a car but many people have driven me places over the year, which I appreciate. I think Americans and British people will always have some sort of connection, because of our history together and through the language we speak, to only mention two examples. I have yet to hear a good fake British accent while I have been out here and believe me I've heard many attempts at it. I still believe that we are not supposed to do each other's accents, I can't do an American accent and many people have convinced me to try and do so. Studying abroad makes you feel unique, there is only one other British person here at CSUSM and it is nice to think that other people find where you come from interesting. Many people have asked me all about the UK, from the place itself to the people and I have enjoyed answering those questions. It took me a while to adapt to the different style of education here, there is a lot more work to do over here I think. There is a constant amount of work as the semesters are so short whereas in England, the course spreads itself out over the year and for me personally there were less little assignments to do every week. I found it strange the system used here to apply for classes, the waiting for the registration date to come and the stress of hoping the classes don't fill up and I have only done a year here. I do not think group work should be done on this campus, people have too many different schedules and live far away from each other and also have jobs as well. If a group is given class time to complete an assignment or each member can individually work on a part at home then it can be done but I don't think it should be done here. The quality of education has been high from my point of view, especially since the teachers have had to deal with wholefiascowith the furlough days. I have met some great people while I have been out here, many people that I will remain in contact with for a long time to come. One of the great things about studying abroad is I have developed connections and that will allow me to come back here many more times. Although I am looking forward to going back home and seeing my family and friends, I will definitely miss this place, the experience, the people and the place are something I will never forget. If there is one thing anyone reading this article should take away it is to try and study abroad somewhere because it will literally change your life for the better. Goodbye America and thanks for having me. CALLING ALL W RITERS !

After two years as your Business Manager, it is time for me t o pass the torch on to someone else (still looking for someone to take that honor). It really has been an amazing experience and I can't tell you how much real world experience it has given me, not to mention I've gotten to know some really great people that I would have otherwise probably never met since they are outside my major. Shamelessly promoting? Yes. But it's all true. It seems like it took me forever to get to this point, six years, a major change, transfers from two community colleges, moving, a last name change (thanks Rudy), and over 200 credits later, I've arrived. Graduation is less than two weeks away and then I am moving on into the unknown. It took me six years to graduate, even with college credits before I started thanks to AP exams, going to school full-time (12 units), and never having to retake a course. My point for sharing this with you all? To not allow yourselves to get discouraged from reaching your goal, no matter the path or how long it takes you to get there. I can't even begin to put into the words the joy that I feel and how great it feels to be the first one in my family to graduate from college. The truth is that when I started at California State University San Marcos back in Fall of 2007,1 was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of "catching up" I had to do since I changed my major to Business. I remember thinking, "Wow, another three years of college. Am I ever going to graduate?" But now, looking back I am glad that I was able to spend three years here. Not only did I make some really great friends, but I also got to know many faculty and staff (thanks to Starbucks), and I have learned far more than I could have dreamed (thanks to my amazing professors). So enjoy your time here, because in aflashyou will be sitting here in this same place about to graduate and reminiscing of your time spent here. My first advice? Get involved. I know it is cliché and you hear it a lot from the moment you step foot in orientation (thanks to O-team), but it really does make the experience you have here. An added bonus? You will get to know some pretty amazing people along the way and with so many different ways to get involved there really is no excuse not to. My second advice? Find a mentor. It really makes all the difference in the world to have someone to talk to and give you advice, especially when that person is someone you admire and respect. Third advice? Write at least one article for The Pride Student Newspaper. Even if it is just an opinion piece about something you are passionate about. It feels good to see your name attached to a piece of published work. Fourth advice? If you have room for it in your schedule, take a class to learn something you have always wanted to learn. It's very rewarding when you finally are able to do something that you maybe thought you would never be able to do. For me, it was Photoshop. Fifth advice? Every day I read a quote that hangs on my wall by Sally Hass, "Dream Big. Work Hard. Smile Often. And Good Things will Happen." The truth is, college is not designed to be easy. If you shortcut your classes, in the end you are only shortcutting yourself. Last but not least... find some time for mental breaks. For me, it was my Disneyland Annual Pass and my favorite TV shows. They are essential in keeping yourself from becoming overwhelmed or burned out. Without my grandparents, my boyfriend turned fiancé turned husband Rudy (who will walk by my side at Graduation), my best friend Jackie, my professors, and my faculty mentor, I might not have Photo by Mari Hinojosa reached this point with as much success as I have. Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for the rest of my life. To the rest of you, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and I leave you with one last thought.. ."Life is made up of moments, thank you for being a part of mine." Class of 2010, we did it. G oodbye from the Layout Editor BY RUDY MARTINEZ Layout Editor "Two f ish are in a t ank, one t urns to the other and says 'how do you drive this t hing?'" I 've been in college for the better p art of a decade. I 've been through six d ifferent j obs, three degree changes, moved three d ifferent places, obtained an AAS in Psychology, and re-met the woman who would end up my wife (who knew?). Last semester alone I took 18 u nits, worked two j obs, and helped plan my wedding. This semester my team and I have worked tirelessly on our Senior Experience project, which consumed my l ife, on top of classes and work. However, without the help and support of some awesome people that I have surrounded myself with, I probably would never have been able to get through it all. The time has come for me to say "so long and thanks for all the sleepless nights CSUSM." It may be cliché to say that I thought the day would never come. But now graduation is slapping me in the face, and I cannot wait. If I had the opportunity to do it all over again at ^ different university, I would respectfully decline. Cai State San Marcos has some of the best professors I 've had the pleasure of learning from. I can honestly say that my stay here at CSUSM has f ully prepared me to enter the "real world," and I don't mean the horrible show on MTV. From the job experience I've gained f rom working in IITS to the Career Development class taught by David Bennett, I feel confident in taking the leap f rom student to professional. My advice, f ind your passion and stick with it. It doesn't feel like a job if you love what you're doing. I can honestly say that I love both my jobs that I have had here on campus. I was lucky enough to hear several top executives speak in the In The Executives Chair course, most of which talked about how they are passionate about their job. Networking is also very important, with the help of my wife, K ristina, she helped me get my j ob in IITS. Her best f riend, Jackie Carbajal, who was the prior Editor-in-Chief, was a writer when she referred me to help out with the layout. Today, who you know plays j ust as important of a role as what you know. It may have been a long road, but the experiences that I have gained f rom it are priceless. Without my wife Kristina, my peers, faculty, s taff, and everyone who has helped me along the way, I could not have made it through without the support of everyone, and I thank each and every one of you.

Playing on Primm Valley Golf course in Primm, NV, the Cougars are up against some of the best in the NAIA. Along with fellow Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) powerhouses #3 University of British Columbia and #13 University of Victoria, the 11-team grouping also includes #4 Cal Baptist from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) and #5 Concordia UniversityOregon from the Cascade Conference. After one of two rounds, CSUSM is solidly in the mix with a team score of 308. Cal Baptist leads at 294, British Columbia is in second at 301, and Concordia (OR) is in third at 305. Victoria is in f ifth, four shots behind CSUSM at 312. Individually, Ellyse Siu shot a fantastic even-par 72 for the Cougars, and Roxanne Mejia wasn't far behind at +1 (73).

Danny Leiner, most recognized for d irecting comedy f ilms such as Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) as well as directing episodes of Felicity, Sopranos and the series Arrested Development. X iener's gave the students an i nsightful straightforward look into the media business, while also entertaining his audience. "I wanted to see how he found his way through the media business, and to learn about directing f ilms," said student Nicholas Espinoza. The lecture started with a presentation of a clip from Leiner's work, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, a scene where Kumar experiences a dream sequence with a bag of Marijuana, that then becomes his g irlfriend. This scene opened up questions about storyboarding, a f rameby-frame depiction of what the director will shoot. "That sequence I did not storyboard, I t ry to save the story boarding for complicated action sequences," said Leiner, but he also conveyed to the students how helpful storyboards can be when on location. The next presentation was of several commercials, which included clips of the popular Free Credit Report.com musical commercials and the Jack Links Jerky commercials about messing with Sasquatch. These commercials by Leiner display his comedic talents in different mediums of media. Leiner went on to state that throwing a lot of money into a project helps develop and tell stories, especially concerning commercials he continued to explain that a lack of money restricts the ability to formulate stories ideas into action. Inspired student, Espinoza was impressed on how Leiner could easily add humor to everyday living. "How he f inds a way to make a simple idea into something hilarious and funny." Since this portion of the industry is so popular, Leiner went into great detail about how the industry is supper competitive, and how a director must create opportunity for themselves. While discussing his transition from movies to commercials and sitcoms, Leiner commented on how changing to d ifferent media's allows him to stay artistically f resh. When doing an episode for Sopranos, he articulated the intricacies involved in expressing a director's style while still honoring the specifics already put into place. "I always hope that a little of my style comes through, I keep within the frame, but then visually bring in something a little comedy wise," said Leiner. In a scene from Dude, Where's My Car? the main characters played by Ashton Kutcher, and Seann William Scott discover that they both got tattoos a fter drinking heavily the night before was presented to show Leiner's comedic delivery. Image courtesy of Cinemarx The scene goes back and forth between the characters repeating most of the same words, "dude" and "sweet." Leiner expressed how scenes like these are d ifficult to execute, but to insure success he takes a lot of takes and is very involved in the editing process because he believes "comedies live or die in editing." Liener revealed a sneak peek of his most recent work movie "Backwash," written by and staring Josh Malina. The movie follows the journey of three oddball losers in an ice cream truck in the format of a thirteen web episodes.

The Last Airbender James Cameron forced this adaptation of the Cartoon Network show "Avatar" to change it's name. This story about warriors with elemental powers is a departure for the thriller-sawy director M. Night Shyamalan. After flopping with consecutive films, including "The Happening," this might be a major career change. July 9th Despicable Me DreamWorks, who already had success with "How to Train Your Dragon" this year, is releasing another film, in addition to the fourth S Shrekfilm,to compete the with the DisneyPixar hit machine.

This reality-bending thriller appears to be a return to the style he executed in his earlier work, such as "Memento." July 23rd Dinner for Schmucks This comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd will be this summer's equivalent to "The Hangover." In this remake of "The Dinner Game," Rudd plays a whitecollar worker who brings the dimwitted Carell to a dinner party where his sadistic co-workers play games with their guests. August 6th The Other Guys Though another buddy cop film, "Cop Out,"floppedthis year, Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg hope to reel in laughs in this comedy. The duo a play a mismatched pair of less-than-heroic cops who create havoc when they take a chance to step up on a case. August 13th The Expendables The most important part of this final summer action romp is the cast. This film stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and directed it, so it should not be hard to guess this is an all out festival of guns and explosions. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Edgar Wright, director of "Shaun ofthe Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," takes a stab at adapting the "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series. This film stars Michael Cera, Chris Evans, and Anna Kendrick, rather then Wright's usual troupe, and the trailers make thisfilmlook like a shcker version of older "Batman" movies.

XIII NO. 14 Spring 2005 grad details Task force outlines areas for improvement in campus policing practices W hat upcoming graduates need to know BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer University Police vehicles are a regular sight in front of the campus. BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer The Task Force on Campus Policing released their "Final Report, First Combined D raft" on Friday, April 28 to Interim Chief of Police Aaron Woodard and Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal R. Hoss for review. The report contains 31 specific and often multi-provisional recommendations for change within police department as well as other related areas in the campus community. According to the Task Force's report, Woodard and Hoss are to, "develop a calendar to address each of the recommendations," Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride and create, "a report concerning any recommendations that will not be acted upon." Using the "concept of community oriented policing" as a model for recommendations to the CSUSM Police, the report concludes that while community oriented policing, "is a philosophy that the University Police of Cal State San Marcos has adopted in its mission, vision, and values statement," there are, "many ways in which the University Police could strengthen how it carries out community oriented policing in its general practices, its staffing, its communication strategies and educational functions." Recommendations of the report include implementing diversity and profiling training for officers, increasing foot patrols of the campus, establishing regular patrol areas for specific officers, using informal sanctions when at all possible, increasing community outreach programs, creating an ongoing review board for policing practices and exploring the use of cameras in police vehicles. The task force formed in January 2005 with the goal of, * "preparing a report for the Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services that would be Commencement 2005 will be Saturday May 14 with one ceremony at 9:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m. at the Del Mar Fair Grandstands. There will be around 800 people graduating at each ceremony, and around 10,000-12,000 guests are expected to attend. The graduation committee has been busy figuring out all of the logistics for the day and has formulated some helpful advice to get you through the day as smoothly as possible. The first thing to know, before you plan any sort of celebration, is that the ceremony will last around 2-2 hours, and you will not be allowed to leave early. Plan your lunch or dinner reservations accordingly, and allow for all the picture taking, hugging grandmas and traffic. Graduates must check in one hour before the ceremony to begin lining up. You have to say goodbye to your family and friends at the Plaza de Mexico and check in at the Paddock entrance with your cap and gown. At the entrance you will receive your name card and cords if you are graduating with honors. (There will be a list posted in the hallway by Registration and Records with the names of students eligible for honors.) Seating is not assigned; the faculty will file in first, followed by the speakers, mas- See TASK FORCE, page 2 See GRADUATION, page 2 Campus study aids suicide prevention BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Preliminary findings from a study of CSUSM freshman students who reside on campus revealed that, "About one in five students indicated that either they or someone they knew seriously considered suicide or attempted suicide in the last six months." The freshman and their parents were part of a survey conducted by Community Health Improvement Partners' (CHIP) designed to ultimately improve current suicide prevention programs. According to a CHIP press release, sui- cide has become a growing concern to the community because it is the second leading cause of death among younger college students and the suicide rate among this group has been rising in San Diego County. A magnet prepared with information on how to detect signs and symptoms of depression and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines was the centerpiece of the study. The magnets were given to both students and parents. The groups were surveyed once at the beginning of the fall 2004 semester and again in spring 2004. The study was meant to determine the reaction of students and parents when someone close to them showed signs or appeared to be at risk of suicide. According to the study, over half the students kept the magnet in visible location (such as a refrigerator); almost 40 per cent did so "all or most of the time" and over 80 per cent of parents who received the magnet also kept the magnet visible. In addition the study showed that students were somewhat more likely, after having received the magnet, to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression in a friend and encourage the friend to call See STUDY, page 2 What do you think about your professors?

In addition the task force "was to document current use of best national practices at Cal State San Marcos, and where appropriate and in compliance with state law and system policy, recommend improvements in the existing policing model." The task force was formed due to campus community concerns regarding policing practices in the wake of the arrest of student Jason Williams. The 11 member panel consists of Chair Terry Allison, Associate Vice President of Human Relations & Campus Enterprises Linda Leiter, Director of Student and Residential Life Bridget Blanshan, Academic Senate Executive Committee member and Professor of Sociology Valerie Callanan, Faculty subject expert and Professor of Sociology Edwardo Portillos, staff member Charles Guthrie, student and ASI Childcare Representative Edith Zarza, student and ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Sarah C. Leonard, community member Tim Dong, CSU Fullerton Chief of Police Judi King, and Interim Chief of CSUSM Police Aaron Woodard. "Overall I think that funding (for the recommendations) is going to be an issue," said Leonard, "I hope that they (Woodard and Hoss) look at this as top priority." She said she felt that the creatjon of an ongoing review board for policing practices on campus was the single most important recommendation contained in the report. "(An) ongoing review board will be one of the things that makes sure recommendations are implemented," said Leonard Woodard said he did not want to comment STUDY, from page 1 should include an address, number, e-mail l l^ur 1 1 1 11 ^^ixïêt^éï and identification.

"CHIP'S Suicide Prevention Committee wanted to develop a simple strategy or tool that would help raise awareness and prevent suicide among college students," said CHIP committee member and Scripps Mercy Hospital trauma nurse Beth Sise. Sise said that the idea developed from an editorial in Newsweek. The author, a mother who lost her own son to suicide, thought that a magnet, similar to the one used in the study, could GRADUATION, from page 1 ters' candidates, teacher candidates, and finally those receiving bachelor's degrees.

Graduates are being asked to please leave inflatables Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Changes in policing practices are unlikely to mean less regular patrol interactions with University Police such as the questioning of Mike Rostami in front of the Dome on May 2. Rostami later said he was asked to leave campus and threatened with arrest. Touting a handful of forms, he said he was on campus to get information about the requirements for the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program. Rostami said that the police told him he, "looked suspicious" and that someone reported him digging through the trash (which is illegal in San Marcos). He produced a Volkswagen throttle body that he said he found sitting on top of a recycling bin, arid guessed that this was the reason for someone reporting him to police. Rostami promptly left campus. about specific recommendations contained in the report until he and Hoss had time for review, and the Policing Task Force Report was finalized. help prevent suicides. "The causes of depression are complex," said Sise. "Depression is often the result of a combination of inherited, personal-psychological, and environmental factors. And at times depression occurs for no apparent reason. But whatever the cause, depression is nearly always treatable." In college, stress arising from the environment can play a part in the development of a depressive episode. Common sources of stress in the life of college students, especially freshman, include: greater academic demands, being on one's own in and air horns at home. Wasn't that a high school thing? If you show up and have been "celebrating" early, you will be asked to leave. After the ceremony the graduates will be excused row by row in a formal recessional, and will have the opportunity to accept congratulations from the faculty who will line up in the Paddock area. The best piece of advice, from a former graduate, is to prearrange where you are going to meet your family and friends after the ceremony. Do not choose the Paddock area because it will be very crowded. If you need help choosing a spot, look on the Commencement 2005 link on the CSUSM home page, where you will find a nice aerial photo, maps to Del Mar and lots of other helpful information.

The forms allow students to anonymously evaluate the instructor and the course on different scales, ranging from how enthusiastic the instructor was to how prepared they were in class. It's an opportunity for students to have their voices heard and to offer advicp and critique to help teachers in f uture courses. The evaluation form consists of a series of questions compiled by the Faculty A ffairs Committee. There are different types of evaluation forms for different types of instructors, but all the forms were designed in order to get the most appropriate feedback f rom students regarding course instructors. One of the most important things about the Student Evaluation of Course Instruction forms is the way in which they are distributed. The procedure is designed to give students f ull anonymity so that they are completely candid in their evaluations. The course instructor is asked to leave the room and two student volunteers read the instructions and distribute the evaluations to the class. "The process that's outlined on the front of that envelope is really important for the students to follow," said Associate Dean of the College of Education Dr. Peggy Kelly. "Some students, in their zeal, they may really love a professor, hand it to the professor, which invalidates it. It has to come from the students to Institutional Research, not pass through a faculty member's hands." This process guarantees that there is no opportunity for a professor to see or change the evaluations before they reach Institutional Research. Students are usually given 15 minutes at the end of class to complete the forms and place them in a manila envelope. A fter the forms are completed, they are taken to Institutional Research and copies are then sent to the appropriate departments. "Faculty are not allowed to see any of the evaluation forms 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Sav-on Center San Marcos, CA 92069 before grades are posted," said Kelly. "That's for the student's protection in the event that some students feel like there might be retribution because of a poor evaluation. This is to avoid any of that sort of conflict." If a student writes something accusatory on the evaluation form, certain steps are taken by the administration. "When you're talking about student evaluations, a comment by one student is not significant enough," said Kelly. There needs to be more data because it's not uncommon for a student to feel that they're getting a bad grade in class, therefore, they try to get back at the teacher " In this case, more data would include specific dates, times and reactions to inappropriate classroom behavior, as well as more than one student making the claim. "There is a cause for concern when it's more than one student and it's very specific about what the issues are," said Kelly. "The more specific a student can be about what the incidence or behavior was, the more administrators have to work with. When that's corroborated by others in the classroom, we have a conver- (760)727-5085 (760)727-8136 Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service The Engraving Place Sushi Station S an Marcos Bivd # 120 S an Marcos, C A 92069 ( in Albertson's Shopping Mall) Plaques • Trophies • Corporate Awards Money Clips • Key Chains • Baby Items Kevin W.

In the end, it's important to know that the evaluation forms do make a difference. They can play a vital part in an instructor's academic career. If an instructor is going through the retention, tenure and promotion process, student evaluations are used to measure whether they have addressed certain problem areas in their teaching and improved upon them. Getting student feedback can only improve the quality of courses and instructors at CSUSM. "We want to know the students opinion on how the courses were from their perspectives. The faculty members have their perspectives and have put their best efforts into the course, but were they successful?" said Kelly. "If it weren't for the students, why would we be here?" One student remarked about the student evaluation process. "When I fill out the forms, I do try to fill them out honestly," said Randie Chance, a sophomore psychology major. "I think good teachers care what students think about their classes and their teaching styles."

Their website is very user friendly - you can plan your whole trip there and even come up with better ideas than you started with. They have information on places to stay, as well as transportation once you get there. Some of the current roundtrip deals featured include Los Angeles t o Costa Rica for $208, Los Angeles to London f or $328, and San Diego to New York for $268. Take advantage of student travel deals while you can, you have the rest of your life t o work. Second, if you're searching for cheap airfares, t ry the airlines' websites. O ften they have better deals then elsewhere. Right now on Hawaiian Airlines website (www.hawaiianairlines.com) you can fly Los Angeles to Hawaii for $358 round-trip if you travel before June 9, 2005. Airlines frequently o ffer better deals than other travel websites because they want you to book your flight directly. Southwest Airlines (www. southwestairlnes.com) o ffers summer rates as low as $49 oneway. Southwest comes out with Internet specials every Tuesday that will keep you flying cheap. Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is another airline that frequently o ffers low fares. Currently they're o ffering $39 one-way tickets f rom Long Beach to Las Vegas. With the high cost of gas it might actually save you money to drive to Long Beach and then fly to Vegas. Jet Blue doesn't fly everywhere, but it is definitely worth checking out. Third, b e flexible. If you are flexible on your travel dates you can find good deals, you j ust have to look for them. If you can travel during the week, do it. You're going to save on a irfare and hotel rooms during the week. Fourth, take a drive. If flying isn't your thing, take a road trip. Road trips are awesome and can be where you make some of the best memories with your f riends. The price of gas is high right now, but if you can get your buddies t o chip in, a road t rip is a great idea for a cheap summer trip. Find something you like - baseball for example - and go watch your team play in another city. You will have more f un exploring a new city i f you're doing something you enjoy. F ifth, get lost. We are lucky enough to live in an amazing city that is close to the beach, the mountains, and the desert. Have a vacation close to home. You don't have t o travel f ar to have an amazing trip.

So did I BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer One year ago I was much like you, reading the last issue of The Pride and thinking, ' I could do better.' So I added that hideous 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday section to my class schedule, and showed up all fresh-faced and eager in the fall, certain that I would b e The Pride's tipping point - the one person they needed to take the paper from flawed to fabulous. Thank God the writers and editors from Spring ' 04 had already put together most of the material for the "Welcome B ack" issue, because as soon as Co-editorsin-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Mike Dolan began trying to make story assignments I was lost in a sea of inverted pyramids, compelling ledes, and the t errifying realization that if I interviewed someone for a news or features story I would have to actually quote them. Accurately. I learned quickly that the place for someone with no news writing experience is Opinions — where the asshole analogy lives on quite comfortably - and thus I began to make my mark (and reputation - be that as it may) on The Pride. I also volunteered to act as Copy Editor and spent my Monday afternoons trying desperately to ferret out those insidious typos, punctuation, and grammatical errors that plague every writer of English, and seem particularly unique to those MLA aficionados (reborn as Pride journalists) who find themselves having to apply the 'and now for some- thing completely d ifferent' A P style - where dashes are to have a space placed fore and a ft, and titles are always placed in quotations - never underlined - among others. (Editor Lesson One: no matter how many times anyone reads through the paper before it goes to the printer, there will be mistakes.) I eventually learned how to conduct an interview and take accurate quotes (the secret is in the sound bite - it works for print as well as TV), what the hell a compelling lede is, and the secret of the mysterious inverted pyramid (put the important stuff up front, j ust in case your editor needs to lob o ff the end of your story to make it fit the "news hole" - another of those charming journalist jargon bits.) I wrote stories and opinions I was proud of, and cleaned up the copy as much as was humanly possible, but I knew I could do more to improve The Pride. This spring I took the leap f rom Staff Writer and Copy Editor to A rts & Entertainment Editor. Finally The Pride would give priority to more of the artsy-fartsy stuff that happens on and around our campus and less to the blockbuster entertainment that hardly needs another marketing boost f rom the puny Pride (see how far my vision has fallen on pages 1720.) Huge props to Yvonne Brett and Zachary J. Simon who covered a lot of those types of events, but as we got f urther into the semester even they began to feel the need to explore other types of writing. (Editor Lesson Two: Pride writers write what they Black and Tan, it's not lust a drink BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer A troubling comment f rom March has had me thinking about the mistaken idea behind the drink "Black and Tan." It is has troubled me for some time and taking the time, j ust weeks before my trip to Ireland for the summer, to set the story straight. During one of my sessions of eavesdropping j ust before St. Patrick's Day, I heard a young student commenting on his recent sampling of a beer concoction called "Black and Tan." For some, taking the delicious stout Guinness and mixing it with any lighter beer is considered "Black and Tan." This is not the case. Why would I be concerned with this drink? Well, it has a dark history that many bartenders and patrons may not know about. "Black and Tan" beer alludes to a faction of under trained and violent English police occupying Ireland. Their u niforms were thrown together and consisted of dark tunics and tan pants, giving the nickname "Black and Tans." There violent occupation attempted to stop the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) and the freedom of Ireland. Their bloody occupation included killing a dozen spectators at a football match during the Bloody Sunday in 1920. The drink is originated in Ireland, of course, and must be combined with Bass Ale. The misconception is that it is mixed with Harp, another beer by Guinness. Simply, Guinness is Irish and Bass is English, when mixed Guinness is on top. Two forms of thought are concerned with the mixing of these beers. One theory states that since the Irish beer is on top and suppressing the English, it is a good thing. Second, the beer should not be mixed with any beer f rom England and it should be enjoyed unadulterated. For me, this is the best route to go. Photo courtesy of Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride want, not what you want.) The Pride generally consists of about twenty staff writers maybe half of those consistently submit stories on a weekly basis. The editorial staff has learned that the easiest... no, most efficient... no, likeliest way of getting writers to submit by deadline is to get them to write what they're interested in writing. Being part of The Pride staff is a kind of weird quasi-job-that'sreally-a-class, where you have the A students who work really hard (the ones you'd promote to the good staff writer positions if this were a real job) and the D students who slack off all semester and then stuff your email box last minute with stories for points to try and pass the class (the ones who'd be fired for missed deadlines if this were a real job.) As much as I have come to love my writers who have struggled to take their writing to the next level over the course of the semester (you know who you are), the camaraderie with the other editors has been the highlight of the job; nothing brings people together like having to show up on campus for meetings at all hours of the night and weekends, with the common vision of making The Pride something better than it was the week before. Which brings me back to the original reason for writing this piece: there is not a single one of you or us who will ever be The Pride's tipping point. The Pride is a team effort. The only way it will get better is when enough of you lay down your critic's pen and pick up a staff writer's or editor's pen. This has been an extraordinary year for The Pride: Liz and Mike have developed a dedicated staff, most of who will not be here next semester. If The Pride was a traditional publication, it would have the benefit of staffers who spend years developing it into an award-winner. But The Pride has to rely on students showing up every semester who are willing to put in the hours necessary each week (lots and lots of hours) to put something worth reading in those newsstands around campus. So no more mewling and puking! Add section 41261(COMM) or 42078 (LTWR) to your fall schedule and let's see what you can do to improve The Pride. And in the meantime, I 'll go back to kidding myself that ' I could do better.' Hello operator...

Williams was known only by his child-given moniker, Elm Street, on Sunday May 1 when he was center-stage at Anaheim's House of Blues, With the poetic interpolation of former CSUSM student Anthony Blackshir, a /k/ a Ant Black, Elm passionately swept the crowd with sledgehammer-like delivery through arguably the best tracks on his album titled "Tha Hurdlez." It was evident that fiis riveting truths acted as a beacon for the connecting audience. Hands were above heads in motion, and people roared with every rhyme. Elm's live performance was an explosive treat. "We shut em' down," said Williams. "People were telling me that they haven't seen someone move the crowd like that in a long time." Hands down, the CD is great, but, as it is supposed to be, it can't touch the raw quality of a live performance. Once the MC made his way offstage, he was flooded with compliments, hugs, and handshakes f rom a variety of fens. The album chronicles times good and bad, experiences with women, a dab of sex-life, and most importantly, the primary message: stand up and do something about the daily hardships and struggles of African-Americans and-minorities in modern America. From start to finish, Elm puts you on an emotional roller coaster evoking smiles, deep thought, angst, and plenty of anger. Make no assumptions. Elm is neither tetchy about oppression of the past or simply pointing his finger at White America here, but rather, presents inequities that he has felt as an African-American man headed^ in a positive direction. On one exceptional track "This Is Me," Elm spits raspy fire in a verse to make people aware of his harassment f rom crooked police while attending a community college in Riverside. Out he raps: "Po Po (police) run up on me point their gats, screaming freeze while I 'm facing their straps, one false move a nTll viciously react, I hate cops but not cause of the that, let me freeze time, allow me to take you back, I was walking home, pigs say boy what's going Z ERO C L O S I N G C O S T S p,p — -' on, asked to see my ID, I act like Ice-Cube. no let me see yours, wrong move he opened the door start swinging like M ike..." "Being a Black man in America is a struggle everyday" said Williams, "I want to be the next Malcolm X and I want to set a p'ositive example for black people, especially young kids who are up and coming." Surprisingly, the album's Y O U W A N T ONE H OME. soundscape is pretty nice considering a limited budget and the fact the he worked five jobs and attended school full-time while putting this piece together. Elm's changing lyrical tone throughout the album brilliantly meshes with his clever metaphors and humor. His beats are h is very own west coast sound better known as "Thunder Funk." The tracks range from smooth with "Circles" to head-banging rugged with "Westcoast Slide." "I call it thunder f unk because it's just thunderous.. .its j ust Riverside's very own sound," said Williams It is clear why he kept the unchosen name that he hated as a boy, Elm Street. Williams got this name because of his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Freddy Krueger-like behavior when in school. Last semester, a r un i n with police cost him graduation and a track scholarship f rom which he depended on financially. Elm Street is fitting for all the dark times Williams has had throughout his life. Get the album. It's pure talent and it is real as it comes.

Copeland, hailing f rom Florida and other parts of the East Coast, Copeland's lead singer Aaron Marsh has been enveloped in the Florida music scene for quite some time. As well as being the lead singer, Marsh also plays over half of the bands instruments, including the guitar, piano, mellotron, and organ. The new CD is filled with quiet and subtle tones that are all too real when coupled with Marsh's soft serenading voice. With tracks such as "Sleep" which is very heavy in piano to tracks like "No One Really Wins" a nonstop rock song, it seems that listeners can get a wide variety of songs, from one extremely talented group. Even when you finish the ten song LP, you'll be waiting for more, but sadly to say there is none, at least not for now. The diversity in the CD will simply amaze you as you skip from track to track, each time finding a new and ever evolving array of songs. After signing with the independent label The Militia Group, Copeland has been touring nonstop all around the U.S. The band's CD is good, but if you get a chance to see them live, jump at it, it will be one of the best shows you've gone to in awhile.

Navy Seal teammate, agent Gibbons XXX is placed at the center of a conspiracy on American soil. His mission is to utilize his virtually unlimited resources to uncover and foil conspirator George Derkert's (William Dafoe) plans to forcefully take the presidency. Duh! Along the way, he gets help from Zeke (Xzibit), a chop shop boss - go figure - and Lola (Nona Gaye), who quite simply adds the frivolous sexual innuendo - and a ridiculous wig. What else? There's a bunch a cool rides that Xzibit and his buds from West Coast Customs probably pimped out with lots of chrome. One more thing: plenty of females exuding mountainous cleavage. Needless sequels typically suck. They suck even more when they try too hard to be cool and they're James Bond rip-off action flicks. But if you're entertained by gunfire, explosions, and the first ever thug-style tank-jacking, then you should consider "XXX State of the Union." While Vin Diesel (the original XXX) desperately explores for more "grounded roles" such as Disney's "The Pacifier," Ice Cube has assumed the rofe of Darius Stone, the new XXX: more dangerous, rugged, and fearless, according to NSA superman Augustus Gibbons (still played by Samuel L. Jackson). Amazingly, director Lee Tamahori - while possibly smoking a new brand crack - does a splendid job of making all that insipid dialogue accurate. Yes, the plot is so horrible it's laughable. And yes, at any particular point of this 122 minute formulaic bonanza, you may realize that the movie is going nowhere. That is of course until Stone maneuvers a tank on an aircraft carrier like it's a formula one racecar, and then ditches it by converting it into a projectile with a jet catapult. That sequence was definitely worth an instant replay with that cool ESPN sports center melody. A fter being recruited by a former Let's talk about the dialogue one more time. Why is it necessary for writers of action movies to include the lame one-liners to encapsulate every action sequence? Simon Kinberg, who wrote the upcoming "Fantastic 4," can certainly write some hilarious racial humor, but his characters sound too dumb to achieve the impossible goals set by the plot. Maybe that's why Tamahori flooded this flick with computer generated car chases and explosions. When is Hollywood going to realize that they could market these motion pictures in an innovative way by just referring to them as "action" without the misleading trailing term "movie?"

In a phone interview, Thornton said the movie - a remake of the 1976 classic starring Walter Matthau - is "funny as hell. We hope that we are just going to entertain people with it." Thornton, seen recently in "Bad Santa," and "Friday Night Lights," reprises Matthau's role as Coach Buttermaker, a former minor league baseball player and heavy drinker, who takes money to coach the Bears, a team of untalented little leaguers. The movie follows the team through the season as they struggle to win. Although they may not be the most talented little league team, the Bears have heart and that proves to be enough to get them to the championship game that will be played against their rivals the Yankees. '"Bad News Bears' is pretty much the same movie in terms of tone as the original movie with Walter Matthau," Thornton said. "It is a comedy that is a family comedy but still kind of pushes it to the edge in terms of the humor Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and the language and things like that." "It is not like a movie that is going to change the world or anything," said Thornton, "but a movie that might make people kind of think about themselves and their kids a bit more and realize that not every kid can be the best at something, but if you try hard maybe you will be better than you thought you were." When asked how he felt about playing Matthau's character, Thornton said, "It always makes you a little nervous when you are reprising someone's role. He (Matthau) was one of my favorites. I always loved Walter Matthau and I actually knew him," said Thornton. "I just wish he had been around to see what we did here because I think we tried to update it and modernize it a little bit but we tried to keep the integrity of the original movie," said Thornton. "I think he (Matthau) would have been pretty proud." This isn't the first time Thornton has played a coach. He also played Coach Gary Gaines in 2004's "Friday Night Lights." "I don't mind playing a coach," TUTORS NEEDED! •Excellent Pay •Flexible Hours •Great Location We are looking for talented tutors for Math, Chemistry or Physics.

"I always wanted to be a teacher so this gives me an opportunity to do that." Thornton was attracted to Buttermaker because, "I like characters who seem to be sort of on the edge of life and kind of learn something along the way to improve their lives somehow," he said. "He (Buttermaker) was kind of a loser who hooks up with some other losers and together they kind of feel a little bit more like winners." Playing a coach gave Thornton a chance to work with kids. "I always have f un with kids," he said. "They (the kids) were perfectly cast and really good kids." "They were pretty wild and they needed to be for the movie," said Thornton. "They also were not great baseball players - which we also needed - but they were all good enough to where as the movie went along they got better at it, which is the way it happens in the movie." "Bad News Bears" is directed by Richard (Rick) Linklater who also directed "School of Rock." "Rick was really determined to keep the original vibe of his movie and I think he did a great job," said Thornton. "Rick tried to keep it a little down low because the original movie in a lot of ways, kind of had an independent film feel to it," said Thornton. This film was written by Glen Ficarra and John Requa who wrote "Bad Santa," which also starred Thornton. This film also stars Greg Kinnear ("Stuck on You") and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") and many other new young stars. "Bad News Bears" is scheduled for release on July 22.

San M arcos mit mir new website mvwJanatthehlimds.com �m Alfred Chu interviews Tom Cruise BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride And so it b egins...the summer blockbuster movies. With a bigger audience in the summer come bigger movies. In an effort to promote one of those movies, Tom Cruise granted a conference call interview with several college newspapers f rom around the country to discuss the highly anticipated remake "War of the Worlds." Cruise is working with the master and possible pioneer of special effects, director Steven Spielberg once again to tell the story based on the H.G. Well's novel. "War of the Worlds" is about Ray Ferrier (Cruise), a working class family man who shelters himself f rom his family. When the unexpected and unthinkable attack and invasion by aliens happens, he must save his family and fight for survival. Also starring is Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins. "Fanning is great," said Cruise. "She is a very talented actress. Just personally, a sweetheart and funny. We laughed a lot." 7 "Ray is a guy who is the total opposite of who I am. He doesn't t ake responsibility for his children. He is not taking responsibility for his family or the f uture. But I understand Ray because I have lived in those kinds of blue collar areas growing up. I went to many different schools," said Cruise. It was the sudden delay of Spielberg's and Cruise's other f uture projects that caused this film to be greenlighted. Similar to their past films, "War of the Worlds" contains all the genres of film and there- image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks SKG fore welcomes all types of audiences. "I most definitely enjoy communicating to audiences," said Cruise. " I make movies for audiences. I definitely want them to see it. But I do believe that films have different audiences. A picture such as "Collateral" is not going to have the same kind of broad audience as a picture of "War of the Worlds" or "Mission Impossible" or "Magnolia." But I do believe it is important to try to get that film out to that audience that is going to appreciate it and wants to see a movie like that," said Cruise. With two of Hollywood's talented artists teaming up yet again (the last project Spielberg and Cruise worked on together was "Minority Report"), an estimated budget of $128 million, plus the score of John Williams and the screenplay of David Koepp (Jurassic Park), a critical and financial success is sure to follow.

A movie is a lmost never as good as t he text f rom which it came, but "Hitchhik- • 4b whctrie/ er's Guide to the G alaxy" comes d amn close - probably because Douglas A dams wrote the screenplay. Seeing t he Vogon destructor fleet, the spaceship Heart of Gold, M arvin, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox come to life will delight those who have read HGG, as will the large amount of A dams' wit that finds its way onto the screen. The plot is fairly t rue to the novel, and slight departures don't annoy or distract. The brain-ticking laughs caused by direct quotations of the text will have HGG f ans gasping for breath and leave novices momentarily incapacitated. The sentient m achines and aliens in the Hitchhiker's Guide include every obnoxious, outgoing, depressed, anxious, u nsure and unstable person you have ever met, but here you get to laugh out loud at them.

SIMON For The Pride The "Hitchhiker's Guide to the G alaxy" begs simplification - clever categorizations that will make you feel all the more clever f or going to watch it: 4 Star Wars, Fight Club, and The Never Ending Story... as directed by Monty Python.' A nd if you've enjoyed none of that y ou'll still deserve a lobotomy for missing this, one of the most r efreshing things I 've seen in some time. Of course, with the novel released more than 20 years ago, it was a long t ime coming. Hollywood's decadelong (give or take) creative drought likely had more to do with HGG being m ade now than any noble patience in the vein of ' let's not do it till we can do it right.' The author o f the original book was a key figure in production, which is good, most o ften essential, ESPECIALLY when the book is considered a staple of nerd culture. I 'm not sure how many copies this s eries'(that's right, series, a big pungent $ word) has sold thus f ar or whether the number will justifiably double before the y ear's out, but I do know that I 've been recommended it for a decade, and t hat's a fter seeing it on T-shirts. A nd if a book on a t-shirt w asn't enough of an anomaly, we now have a great film of that book"that values props over CGI. T hat's right, with hardly t he slightest taint of nostalgia, H GG shows that first rate r ubber molds beat second rate silicon chips any day, not that any of the e ffects are second rate. Another r efreshing aspect is that it is truly, though likely not by design, one for pupae and fossil alike. Randyness is minimal, but noisy larvae will j ust make you miss what isn't already muted by lingering laughter. I enjoy probably more than my f air share of glorified violence and hyper sexuality, but if there ever was a chance to reach out to someone who enjoys nothing else, the shared misanthropic core might j ust b e the ticket. Sure there's some mushy corn toward the end, and the sleazy nonhero has b een overdone, but geeks and grotesque alien monsters need love too, right?

If the union, the California Faculty Association, does not think the final contract is fair, then students at CSUSM face the possibility of losing their instructors ifi a union strike. Such a strike would remove from the classroom the approximately 374 part-time and full-time faculties represented by the union at Cal State San Marcos. According to the North County Times in its May 24 article, the executive board of CSUSM's chapter of the union authorized the use ofjob actions, including strikes, in a resolution adopted May 15. Although there are still five weeks remaining in the bargaining process, and the union may Consultants Needed for High School Program pursue alternative job actions before striking, some students are still concerned about being able to take the classes they need during summer session. "If the professors strike and I can't get the credits I need in summer, this is going to push my whole graduation back," said Tracy Kappan, an education major. The president of Cal State San Marcos' union chapter, George Diehr, said in April * :' A . By DARCY WALKER Pride Opinion Editor University students interested in teaching middle or high school are needed as consultants to work with area students under the Collaborative Academic Preparation Initiative, also known as CAPI. Dr. Dawn Formo, the program's Associate Director for Literature and Writing Studies, said at least 10 consulting positions are available, paying $9 per hour. The number of openings could double with the approval of a pending grant proposal. Academic credit is also available. "The project is a great way to develop teaching and writing skills. In addition, you'll build your resume," Formo said. According to Dr. Madeleine Marshall, a facilitator for the program, the statewide project is designed to "improve interface between high schools and colleges." Consultants work with students in six area high schools to help them improve English and math skills. One of the goals of the program is to increase scores on the Entry Level Math and English Placement tests. At the 4 semi-annual CAPI conference held Friday May 18, Mayra Gutierrez, an administrator from Sweetwater Union High School District, said that in one of the district's high schools only 12 students passed both CSU entry exams. Program consultants will work either in an online writing center or face to face with students in neighboring high schools. Applicants should have strong writing skills although their teaching interest can be in any subject.

Rodriguez will receive the degree durmg Sunday's 4 p.m. ceremony in Forum Plaza. When asked how he felt about receiving the honor, Rodriguez said, "I sure am nervous {about getting the award]. It's quite an honor. I am so surprised and I don't know how to react, I just hope I can do what I am supposed to do in front of a crowd. When asked what you are supposed to do, Rodriguez said that he wanted to acknowledge that "you don't do anything alone. It takes people to get you where you are at and where you are not at, good or bad." According to Bonnie Biggs, a Library and Information Services Assistant to the Dean, Henry Rodriguez is the first Native American to be honored from the San Marcos campus. Information was not available in time for this article on whether any other Native Americans have ever received an honorary doctorate from the CSU system or any other California State campus. Bonnie Biggs, a friend of "Uncle Henry's" since 1981, gathered the background information for the Board of Trustees in order to nominate him, and Professor Bonnie Bade made the actual nomination. Bonnie Bade was unavailable for comment. Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder will receive the honor because "Henry has been very, very active and been a leader both politically and socially in the community for years. At 81 years old, [he has had] a long history of activism, and worked for the betterment of not only Native Americans but also everyone in ment.

At this point, a period of "fact finding" begins with a team of three individuals, one from the CFA team, one from the CSU administration team, and one from a neutral party by mutual agreement. This factfinding team then issues a recommendation to the two parties who use the report to come to an agreement. Diehr told the North County Times that, "the chances are more than 50 percent that there will be some sort of job action." The union began bargaining for a new three-year contract on April 17. The union seeks to lower the student-tofaculty ratio, and increase the percentage of full-time tenuretrack instructors per student. Union officials say they feel that, thus far, administration proposals for the new contract are unsatisfactory. According to the North County Times, "The union is arguing that the behavior of the administration at the bargaining table has diminished the quality of education in the CSU system." The implications of a strike for the California State University system as a whole involve far greater numbers of faculty. The statewide union represents over 22,000 faculty members on 22 campuses, and all union chapters have authorized similar work actions on their campuses. Swisher told the North County Times that, "We feel confident that our faculty won't abandon the students." By VICTORIA SEGALL Pride Editor Each graduate in attendance may also give thank you speeches during the ceremony. "Five minutes long, if they wish," said Balcazar. She added, "And it's not strictly for Latino students." This year, the number of participants for the ceremony has increased. "We're very excited about this year," said Balcazar. "In the past we've only had 10 to 15 students taking part, but this time we will have 39 students." La Raza Graduation Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, June 3 from 5;30-10 p.m. at the Dome Plaza. "We will have dinner, a mariachi band, and a dance," said Balcazar. The Latino Association of Faculty and Students (LAFS) first organized the ceremony about four years ago, according to Balcazar. This year Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) has collaborated with LAFS to host the event. La Raza Graduation Ceremony In addition to the Cal State San Marcos' traditional commencement ceremonies scheduled for Saturday and Sunday will be La Raza Graduation Ceremony on Sunday, June 3. "It's more like a family celebration," said Yesenia Balcazar, one of the coordinators for the event. "It will give students the opportunity to thank their family, with a reception afterwards." The purpose of the African American graduation ceremony is to recognize students of African American descent for accomplishing their goal of graduating. The Thursday afternoon event will feature an inspirational speaker and reception with music and food, but the focus will be on the graduates. At least 42 undergraduates and 10 teaching credential candidates will receive honors at the ceremony. Cheryl Le Gras, Director of College Success Services, has been serving on the committee for African American graduation since 1997. She was unsure if the tradition at Cal State San "Marcos dates back prior to that year. Tiaca Carter,'a graduating senior, expressed . the event's significance to her graduation experience. "I feel it is a special ceremony because it specifically addresses black students as opposed to a ceremony that addresses all grads generally. Blacks are going to face different obstacles than other races and need unique words of encouragement." Black students who participate in the African American graduations will still attend the university's traditional commencement; the special ceremony is not intended to replace commencement or separate students, according to Le Gras. According to Le Gras, the ceremony will open with the singing of the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Dr. Phillip Rafael, head of San Diego State's Community Based Block, a Master's program that trains people to become counselors in multiethnic schools and communities, will be the guest speaker. A faculty member will read a short biography for each graduate, then present him or her with a certificate and a Kente cloth stole, draping it over the robe. The Kente is a traditional African ceremonial cloth worn by many African Americans during important social and religious events in order to remember their heritage. Kente is woven in a variety of patterns, each expressing combinations of significant values including leadership, spirituality, responsibility and exceptional achievement. In some cases, a faculty member will purchase a special pattern of cloth to present to a favored student in appreciation for his or her unique qualities and accomplishments, according to Le Gras. Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard will assist in presenting the Kente cloths. "I wish for all black graduates happiness as they step out into the world," said Poullard. "I wish for them direction and a strong sense of purpose. I hope that they recognize their accomplishment as just one of many that will follow, and I wish for them a desire to always strive for excellence and equity in all that they do." The African American graduation ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 31 at the Dome Terrace. Special graduation ceremonies will also be held to honor Latino fy Latina students as well as Native Americans. �Campus News The Pridtf Tuesday, May 29,2001 3 Environmental Student Working to Preserve Box Canyon By KEVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer Many CSUSM students are involved in activities outside of university life.

RYAN SANDAHL Pride Staff Writer The Hollywood duo, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, are back with their latest epic, "Pearl Harbor," but this time, it is not all about huge action and mindless entertainment, Executive producer Bruckheimer and producer/director Bay have managed to pull of this year's stunning, must-see epic with incredible skill and beauty that I found myself wondering how in the world these two could have been the creators of the last film, "Armageddon." Filmed mostly on location in Hawaii (at Pearl Harbor) and in Rosarito, Mexico, "Pearl Harbor" offers an array of visual and computer-generated mastery. Often times it is difficult to pick out what is shot live and what is computer generated. Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Beckinsale give strong performances and let's not forget Cuba Gooding Jr., whose small roll as cook Dorie Miller is played with amazing passion. The film opens with two best friends, Danny and Rafe, pretending to fly a crop-duster. Some time goes by and now Rafe (played by Ben Affleck) and Danny (played by Josh Hartnett) are fighter pilots. While getting approved for their wings, Rafe meets Evelyn Johnson (played by Kate Beckinsale), a strong and determined nurse that makes Rafe's courting attempts difficult.

Running over three hours, the play is a long, winding, and emotionally altering sojourn into, but not out of, one family's dark night of the soul. The comfortably small theatre space, as well as a Spartan use of music, lighting, and costume, promises viewers a unique intimacy and inclusion with the cast. Set entirely in one room of gression of the four-scene work chronicles the changing light of one day and one night in the lives of its characters. Situated in 1912, the play autobiographically encapsulates the life of the O'Neill family into one intense August day. Not only do these intricate personas transcend the flatness of the printed text by physically representing the complexities of O'Neill himself (Edmund), his parents (James and Mary), and his brother (Jamie), but also the archetypal timelessness of the characters, representative of the unchanging human condition, arguably makes them fourdimensional. The immediate living-breathing element of the production is a perfect example of what a well-done dramatic interpretation adds to the printed text. Ironically, after seeing the play, one may wish to read it in order to further explore the dense poetry and thought that flows so quickly from the performers' mouths. With excellent performances by the actors, an intriguing plot, and genius moments of levity in the midst of hopelessness, this play is entertaining on any level even if one doesn't catch all of the allusions to Shakespeare, Nietzsche, or the Bible. O'Neill's laborious insight into such themes as familial love and hate, drug-addiction, death, religion, self-delusion, and selfawareness acts as a catalyst for personal reflection and reckoning. The Tyrone family also makes disturbing commentary on a state of the American family, which seems highly relevant even 62 years after the play was written. Rich in dramatic, philosophical, and literary expertise, this play is a must-add to any university student's repertoire. You should, however, bring an extra supply of energy and attentiveness, and prepare to be somewhat exhausted by the end. The play runs until June 10. By ZACHARY PUGH Pride Staff Writer Something refreshing is coming to your radio stations and portable disc-mans very soon. This rejuvenation will^ come in the form of a new local band called Myliye. Imagine combining the musical talent of old roots, zydeco, or folk players with the crisp sound of groups like The Dave Matthews B andthe end result would be Myliye. Front man Donny Fausner describes Myliye as a "kind of a mellow roots-rock sound/' This, definition becomes clear with the sound and lyrics of "Disappear," the f ifth track on their self-titled album. Other tracks include titles such as "Time," "Free," "All I Need," and "Don't Fade" deliver immaculately tight transitions this listener has ever heard. Myliye.. includes five very talented musicians who bring mellowness to a new level. Catapulting a new spin on the San Diego music scene, they are: Donny Fausner (singer, acoustic guitar), Mike Fausner (electric, lead guitar), Brian Jirka (bass guitar), Max Hickman (drums), and Anthony Fausner (percussion). Myliye has played in numerous shows in San Diego, including the Pacific Beach Block Party. Myliye is currently working on another album; however, the release date is not yet known.

While the music may be old in its origins, Gamelan is still performed today in Java and around the world by music students and musical troupes. A Gamelan is a wonderfully diverse group of instruments that includes drums, gongs, and xylophones with metal keys called sarons, rows of covered bell chimes, and a bamboo flute. The set is beautifully crafted in dark stained wood, and decorated with golden dragons and gold leafing. The gong set contains 15 gongs of varying size and depth, each capable of producing a reverberating sound that would fill the entire classroom. Wednesday night's performance began with a brief introduction of the two different mM musical scales that exist in a Gamelan ensemble. One scale, roughly equivalent to a major scale, is the'"Slendro" and the "Pelog" is equivalent to the minor scale. Professor Randy Griswold, who teaches Gamelan, first explained that the rhythm of the music was very cyclical and that a pattern would be easily distinguishable. The beginning and end of each score is marked by a large gong, which Griswold explained is the way Javanese tradition pays tribute to the importance of the gong instrument in their music. The first song the ensemble performed was "Jiro " from western Java. This song repeated over and over in a very hypnotic way, sometimes slowing or increasing in pace, but always maintaining a beat. The second song, "Wilujeng," was from central Java and began in a similar manner as "Jiro." For this song, however, some of the students sang a very melodic Students perform traditionalJavanese music. (Pride Photos/Victoria Segall) chant-like song. Another difference in this song was that the various instruments- began to take turns dominating the sounds in the room. After awhile the only sound that remained constant in "Wilujeng." The songs continued on for more then an hour, and a mystical mood pervaded the classroom, silencing even the crying babies brought by some members of the audience. For just one hour, listeners were transported back through time and culture. CSUSM's Gamelan musical program began back in 1998 after the school purchased a Gamelan set directly from Javanese importers, and hired Professor Griswold to teach the art to students, Griswold began his own journey with Javanese music in 1991 while he attended UC Berkeley as an undergraduate. After graduation he traveled to the island of Java several times to intensely study Gamelan music and-tradition. After several trips to Java, Scotchgreens was the second band that performed at the Battle of the Bands. The event was held on campus on May 21. ' (Pride Photo/Victor Padilla) , Battle of the Bands Draws Small Crowd We did it again. Another Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) event, the "Battle of the Bands," was poorly attended last Monday, May 21. The performance, along with an end-of-the-year barbeque, was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. at the Dome Plaza, but at that time the barbeque grill had just been set up, the two bands were nowhere to be seen, artd only 10 students were in the audience. I decided to be patient, walked around the campus for a while and then came back at 11:30 a.m. By that time the first band, Hornswaggled, was just about ready to play. The barbeque was attracting many passers-by, who just ate and ran, such as one unidentified student who said, "You can't .pass up free food!" He left as soon as he finished his burger. Unfortunately, they all missed a great show. Sitting in the middle of the patio, I felt sorry for Hornswaggled as they played a seven-song set for an audience of 30-40 students. Hornswaggled has a raprock influence that is very popular today and reminded me of the sounds of Papa Roach. When they played some of their older songs, their punk influence showed. Their lyrics touched on subjects, from the high school shootings at Santana to depression. Afteir about 45 minutes of pulsating riffs, it was time to turn the stage over to the Scotchgreens. Unfortunately, they were running a bit late so their set started a little behind schedule. The Scotchgreens played a brilliant repertoire^ of their "spaghetti-western," rock-a-billy music. They sound like they mixed Johnny Cash with Social Distortion, and it rocked. Unfortunately, there were more audience members for Hornswaggled than there were for the Scotchgreens. The most I Saw in the Plaza for the Scotchgreens at one time was 27 students—and that was including the judges, the members of Hornswaggled and their roadies. The crowd seemed a bit taken by surprise with Scotchgreen's style, and many made fun of it. Subjected to a unique style of music, the audience was caught off guard, but the band continued playing enthusiastically. When it was all over, ASI voted on which band would receive the cash prize of $400 and a future booking at an ASI event. Hornswaggled easily won due to the crowd factor and set-up time. The Scotchgreens walked away with $100 and consideration for a future event. Griswold went back to school, this time at San Diego State University, where he received his master's degree and a job offer. He was hired by SDSU to teach Gamelan at the school and is currently teaching at both SDSU and CSUSM. According to Professor Griswold, the Music 395 class is still open for next semester.. "Because of the variety of instruments, students from all levels of advancement can participate/* said Griswold. Video Students Show Work By J. RYAN SANDAHL Pride Staff Writer By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer Tuesday, May 29,2001 5 Kristine Diekman's Visual and Performing Arts students (VSAR 303 and 304) held their end-of-the-year video show last Monday night in CSUSM's Visual and Performing Arts Annex. Students showcased videos, music and streaming video to a group of 60 faculty, students arid guests. From narrative to documentary videos, the show was very broad in the range and diversity of pieces. Ricardo Favela performed a rap song titled "Manifesto," which was an "expression of Chicano culture and what is going on in their communities," according to Favela. "I think it's great that teach- ers are so enthusiastic about the work," said Jay Trussel, a VSAR student. "It's not like an essay you turn in, it's more work than that and it is very rewarding when the semester is over." Trussel showed excerpts from his full-length feature narrative, "The Night Life," which premieres Tuesday, May 29, in ACD 102 at 7 p.m. "The Night Life" is a part biographical, part fictionalized story about Trussel's life. Other entertaining narratives included "Night of the Bloodsuckers, Part 2" by Albert Rascon, and "Ordinary Horror" by Jesssica Sowa. "This has been a fun class to work with," said Kristine Diekman.

Like Mandy Tester said, "As a graduating senior, I cannot imagine my commencement ceremony taking place at a college I have never attended." We, students, have worked too long and too hard and come very far to be bumped to a community college venue for graduation. The whole point of going to a four-year university was to graduate from a fouryear university. If I wanted to graduate from a community college, I would have stayed at Mesa College. I understand the concerns of the growing student population and not being able to accommodate everyone, but I can assure you that if CSUSM decides to hold the graduation ceremonies they won't have to worry about having too many students to deal with. %heBrade Co-Editor Co*fefitor Opinion Editor Feature Editor Copy Editor Graduate Intern FWS Student Adviser Melanie Addington Victoria B. Segail Darcy Walker Nathan Fields Amy Bolaskl Jayne Braman Victor Padilla Madeleine Marshall If they intend on us holding our commencement ceremonies on an athletic field, then why can't we hold it on our own track field. Many other universities do i t and even many high schools. Why should we go all the way to Palomar's Athletic Field when we have one of our own? I'm sure many students would be willing to make some sort of contribution to a fund if that meant that we could graduate from our own university. The university can also consider selling extra tickets to the ceremonies if students want more than the pre-given amount. I think that before any decisions are finalized, the students need to be given the chance to at least offer up some suggestions. I hope every option will be taken into consideration about keeping the commencement ceremonies here on campus before shipping us off to other "venues". Sincerely, Adrienne Gazan By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer Looking back on the opinion section of The Pride for this semester, I see it was filled with rambling complaints and students attempting to undermine the University's reputation. Aside from a few satiric pieces about campus life and mild attention to ethics, the opinion section was a forum for student bitching; I myself among the contributing authors. As I left class on Tuesday night, the stress of my final assignments and the pressure of the impending semester's end all weighing on my mind, I paused for brief moment of reflection. I took a deep breath and sat down on the west side of University Hall. Through the slightly hazy evening sky, I watched the sun drop beneath the hillside out toward the ocean. At this point I realized that no matter what problems exist at this university they can all be rectified, but it takes student involvement. It is very easy to point out flaws, but progress takes action and agreement. The community members need to open their minds, because the events we experience today will eventually become the topics of tomorrow's class syllabi, "No matter what problems exist at this university they can all be rectified, but it takes student involvement." Many things have changed in the few short months of this semester. We saw a major change in the powers that govern at the presidential level. We saw students in local high schools Is Segregation Politically Correct at Cal State? By TIM FARMER Pride Staff Writer students shot and killed. We sa\# young children sentenced to life in prison. We saw the conclusion and the effects of the 2000 census. And we saw ourselves grow in accordance with our personal interpretation of these events. Now we should realize the privilege and responsibility that are bestowed on each and every one of us: the privilege of attending an institute of higher education, and the responsibility to get involved with the issues and decisions that effect us all. Perfection is something to strive for, not something to expect. Cal State San Marcos is in the beginning stages of becoming a great university, but it takes support from all factions of the community to achieve such a goal. At some point in the near future, take a few moments out of your busy schedule to realize that we get to attend a quality, state funded university in beautifully sunny and warm San Diego County, a place where most students can only dream of living.

Due to lack of funds, the soccer team is currently unable to play at the NAIA level (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), the current level of such teams as track and field and golf. Every student athlete playing an intramural sport pays $100, which pays for the coaches, facilities, equipment, travel expenses and uniforms. All student athletes also need their own accidental insurance. . "I never expected it to be so much work, it takes so much time and dedication," said Antonio Zepeda, former captain and founder of the team. Student Randy Erman, who tried to start a soccer team four years ago, said he wondered why the University has had a "freeze in sports." Erman said that President Gonzalez had promised to incorporate more sports and Erman wonders why there is no N A I A recognized soccer team. "It is a very interesting case because soccer is one of Southern California's most popular sports and there are many students who are interested and have great talent," said Zepeda. "I know of students who have chosen other colleges because of our lack of a soccer program. Last season the team said they faced some problems and misunderstandings with the university, such as being unable to place field goals on the track. This year, however, the field goals are on Mangrum Track and the team says there may be the opportunity for home games to take place this year. "I am really excited about this upcoming season," said student and soccer player Manuel Maldonado. "I hope that we can have home games so that people can come see us play and the university can take us more seriously." As of now, ASI serves as the connection between the soccer team and the university. "They have been helpful, but they are limited on what they can do," said Zepeda. Recruitment plays an important role in intramural sports. The Softball team, for example, needed 12 people in order to be established. They had 12 players at the beginning of the semester however, a couple people dropped, so they were unable to meet the intramural requirements. The soccer team, as of May 18, had 14 members, but they need more players. "I recruit members one-byone in classes, hallways, anywhere I go," said Zepeda. Zepeda also recruited Coach Khaled-al-Shafie who has been with the team since its inception. Coach has volunteered his time, since 1999, but now he gets a small stipend for his coaching. "He does not do it for the money," said Erman. "He has coached at San Pasqual High School, Vista, and other places, and he is climbing the ladder for the USSF (United States Soccer Federation)." "We still need more players," said Coach Khaled-al-Shafie. "This season has a lot to o ffer" Soccer season begins in the middle of August and ends in November. The. team meets every Friday at 11:00 a.m. for practice. Those who would like more information on the team are asked to contact Susana Gonzalez in the ASI Office at (760) 750-4990.

One venue option is Palomar College. Francine Martinez, Vice President for Student Affairs, said, "We are committed to doing whatever we can in order to make the Palomar Athletic Field feel like CSUSM." She added, "The Del Mar Fairgrounds had been another venue option, but unfortunately those plans fell through." Martinez says she is optimistic that the students will embrace this idea. Mandy Tester, a CSUSM student said, "As a graduating senior, I cannot imagine my commencement ceremony taking place at a college I have never attended." Another student, Holly Sheets added, "I will be disappointed if my commencement ceremony takes place at Palomar because I feel as though all of my college memories have been made at Cal State." Richard Riehl, Director of Enrollment Services said, "We' are looking beyond 2003, and the University will be focused in finding a permanent place to hold the commencement ceremony." This year's graduation, however, will be held at CSUSM's Forum Plaza June 2-3.

McWilliams has been selected as the new Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences. McWilliams will begin work on July 27. "My main goal will be to maintain and enhance the strong and capable faculty, high quality academic programs, and the emphasis on close interaction with students, while facilitating the continuing development and growth of the college," said McWilliams. "That will require that I devote a good deal of time and attention to getting to know the various programs and learning about the needs of the faculty and the students. Thus, my immediate goal will be to listen and learn." McWilliams comes to CSUSM from the University of Houston, Clear Lake, where he was Dean of the School of Human Sciences and Humanities. He says that the campus size of UHCL is not that much different from CSUSM. "I think that this is a wonderful size for a university campus.

SEGALL Pride Editor Three CSUSM students played "astronauts" for 10 days when they performed zero-gravity experiments at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Don Bennett, Jon Campbell and James Garcia returned from the center on April 11 after testing two emergency airway devices in zero gravity as part of the Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunity Program of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). In order to take part in the NASA program, the Cal State students were required to create an original experiment that could be tested in zero gravity. They competed against 300 schools and were one of 14 teams chosen to take part in the program that allowed them to f ly in zero gravity 30 times in a Boeing KC 135 j et, which Bennett fondly referred to as the t4vomit comet." Campbell and Garcia, biology students, and Bennett, a paramedic who is fulfilling his premed requirement at Cal State, chose an experiment that would determine what emergency airway device would work best in zero gravity. They tested the standard Endotracheal Tube and the new Combi Tube. Bennett explained that the Combi Tube is a breathing apparatus that can be inserted "blindly," without a paramedic or doctor having to look while he/she inserts the device. When asked which of the tubes worked better in zero gravity, Bennett responded, "It doesn't look like there's much of a difference." The students hope to publish their research, but their findings must be peer-reviewed before they can release more information. Bennett, Campbell and Garcia also underwent »Article continued on pg. 2 Don Bennett (pictured in the zero-gravity room)was one of three Cal State students to take part in NASA's Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunity in Houston.

At one point they took sobriety tests that required them to take off their oxygen masks for a brief period of time to see how the lack of oxygen would effect their bodies. _ The team also toured NASA, including mission control and the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which is a large pool used for pre-space mission training. "It's a great experience," commented Bennett. "How ofteir do people go up to NASA and do research? It gives you the opportunity to do the whole scientific process in a few months rather than a few years." The students prepared for their experiment last semester after they heard about the program from their friend, Michelle Inzunza, a SDSU student and paramedic. Biology professor, Dr. Vicki Fabry, advised the team, which also included Inzunza, and Laura Elliott and Gerhardt Koing, both SDSU students. "This is a program that students at Cal State can do at any time, and they [NASA] want to see more people going," said Bennett. "I want to encourage people to look me up if they want to do something like this." Bennett can be e-mailed at don-bennett@home.com. Holocaust Survivor Mel M ermelstein T ells H i s S tory By LINDSAY BRADY Pride Staff Writer Mel Mermelstein, a Holocaust survivor and Director of the Auschwitz Study Foundation, was a featured speaker on Wednesday, May 9, for Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall's History 202 class. Before introducing Mermelstein, Sepinwall asked the audience to close their eyes and imagine all the people they loved. Then she asked the' class to imagine their family "and friends all killed. "Imagine you were left all alone, the sole survivor left to ponder why you were saved," said Sepinwall. "Then to have people say you imagined it all and that you had to prove the Holocaust happened or be convicted as a liar internationally." Mermelstein wrote "By Bread Alone," a metfioir of his survival of the Holocaust and a tribute to his family. In 1991 his story was made into the film, "Never Forget," starring Leonard Nimoy. "I could talk for weeks, months, even years, and I could never tell of the barbarism and horror of the Holocaust," said Mermelstein, a native o f Czechoslovakia. In 1944, 17-year old Mermelstein, along with his parents, brother and two sisters, were taken from their home and sent to Auschwitz-Birkeriau, a death camp. The words on the entrance of the camp gates read: "Work will make you free." He told the audience about some of the men, women and children that died from the mass genocide. "I could talk for weeksf months, even years, and I could never tell of the barbarism and horror of the Holocaust - Mel Mermelstein After working as a slave laborer until January 1945, a malnourished Mermelstein and 2,000 other Jewish prisoners were evacuated as the United States army advanced through Europe. The rest of his family was killed. While in the death camps, Mermelstein made a promise to C ollege S tudents D onate E g g s By AMBER ZINSKY Pride Staff Writer In recent decades, science has made it possible for infertile couples to conceive, at least in part, biological children. One of the ways in which this is possible is by egg donation. The donor's egg is fertilized with the intended father's sperm outside of the body. It is then implanted in the womb of the woman who is unable to produce her own eggs. Some of the most popular places to recruit donors are college newspapers, and CSUSM's The Pride is no exception. For over a year, The Pride has been running an egg donation advertisement that offers $4,000 compensation in exchange for the eggs of female students ages 20-30. Susan Hernandez, Program Director of the Procreative Egg Donor Program (the program advertised in The Pride), recently increased the compensation from $3,500 to $4,000. "There's a lot of competition," said Hernandez. Some students, however, said they feel uncomfortable about the advertisement. "I feel a little uneasy about it being in the school paper," said Rebecca Silva, a student at CSUSM. Student Health Services, a medical resource for students at CSUSM, has no information on egg donations. "No one has ever asked us about egg donations. I'm not surprised that students would know that [egg donation] is not something in our scope of practice," said Dr. Karen Nicholson, Director of Student Health Services. Some of the students' options for understanding the medical risks and side effects include consulting a physician, soliciting information from the egg donor program, and/or talking to someone who has gone through the process. Quincy Sultzbaugh, a 32-year-old student at CSUSM, has donated eggs a total of five times, but not for the company that advertises in the school newspaper. She donated for the Center for Surrogate Parenting (CSP). The fertility drugs of CSP are administered orally or by injection, include Lupron, Pergonal and/or Metrodin. These drugs are intended to increase the production of viable eggs a woman yields per month. According to Sultzbaugh, the medications also cause a weight gain of four to seven pounds, fatigue, soreness, bloating and an increased risk of osteoporosis and ovarian cancer. "It feels like my ovaries are balloons-full and bloated," said Sultzbaugh about the side effects. When asked about the longterm effects of egg donation, Sultzbaugh said, "We won't know for several years. I don't care when I see how much happiness I can bring to [infertile] couples." Aside from physical effects of donating eggs, behavioral changes must be made. "It's just like you're pregnant," Sultzbaugh said, "No smoking, no drinking, you can't have sex and you have to sign a contract. If you violate the contract, oh my God, I don't even want to know what happens-it would not be good." Since the fertility medication is paid for, either by the fertility company or by the infertile couple, if the donor becomes pregnant before the eggs are harvested or otherwise violates the contract, she must reimburse the company for the price *of the medication in addition to other penalties. The medication costs anywhere from $75-100 per ampule daily, some days requiring up to three ampules (a unit of measurement roughly equivalent to a milliliter). his father that he would be a witness to the world of what happened if he survived. Since then, Mermelstein has educated and reminded people of the Holocaust. The f ilm, "Never Forget," was based on Mermelstein's battle against the Institute for Historical Review (IHR). In 1978, the IHR had offered a cash reward for proof that "Jews were gassed in gas chambers at Auschwitz" and to prove that there was a Holocaust. Mermelstein said he was shocked by the IHR, especially when the organization said that his parents and siblings didn't really die and that they were living somewhere in Europe. On August 5, 1985, Mel Mermelstein received monetary compensation from The Historical Review and an apology for his "pain, anguish and suffering." Professor Andrea Liss of the Holocaust Art class became tearful while watching the film. "Mermelstein is an incredible human being," she said. "My thanks and my admiration for his stamina to stand up to such perverse actions of mass genocide. The extermination of family and to deal with it straightforEgg donation is also a fairly lengthy process. Although each program varies, the general procedure includes completing an application, which contains photos of the donor as a child and photos of the donor's children, if she has them.

The application also includes a questionnaire about the donor's likes and dislikes, educational background and medical history. The doiior profile is placed in a donor album from which potential couples choose from a variety of donors. Once selected, the donor undergoes a battery of psychological tests. If cleared by the psychologist, a physical examination is done, including pelvic ultrasound, drug testing, genetic testing and an STD screen. If everything goes well, the donor will start on Lupron, which sends her body into a pseudomenopausal state so that her ovaries may be stimulated with fertil- Mel Mermelstein was a featured speaker at CSUSMfor Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall 's history class.

I'm getting my doctorate in WWII, so any information is great." Mermelstein described Holocaust survivors as no different than other people. One question he said that they might all ask, however, is whether or not this genocide could happen again. He commented, "This took place in a civilized world, with people like us." The Arts & Lectures for Instruction co-sponsored this visit. ity medications when the timing is right. The donor then begins an ovarian stimulation drug, typically Pergonal or Metrodin, which tells the body to mature more than one egg. The eggs are then retrieved vaginally via ultrasound-guided aspiration and placed in a sterile dish with the intended father's sperm for fertilization. This marks the end of the donor's responsibilities, and what happens from here is up to the recipient couple. According to the Center for Disease Control's National Summary and Fertility Clinic Reports of 1998, the "Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Success Rates," donor eggs were used in 7,756 cycles, about 10 percent of all ART cycles. ART deals with fertility treatments, namely the handling of the egg and sperm combination from a woman or her donor in the laboratory and the return of the sperm-egg combination to the woman's body or her donor. "A cycle starts when a woman begins taking fertility drugs or having her ovaries monitored for follicle production," according to ART. Five percent of the cycles reported were donor eggs. The 1998 report states that "of the approximately 60 million women of reproductive age in 1995, about 1.2 million, or two percent, had had an infertility related medical appointment within the previous year . and an additional 13 percent had received infertility services at some time in their lives." �Campus News The Pride Tuesday, May 2 2,20013 Plagiarism Amongst CSUSM Students By ROLAND A RIAS JR. Pride Staff Writer One of the pressures that students face during college is t he temptation to cheat. Like all other college campuses, Cal State San Marcos has its share of plagiarism problems. According to the Title 5 California Code of Regulations Section 41301 and the University catalog, p lagiarism is d efined as, "Intentionally or knowingly representing the words, ideas, or work of another as one's own in any academic exercise." Plagiarism has many forms and the use of technology has made it more of a challenge for students t o overcome. Small class sizes and a relatively low faculty-to-student ratio do not necessarily prevent plagiarism f rom happening. " Our campus faces the same amount of challenges combating plagiarism that other universities do," said Assistant Dean of Students Tim Bills. Statistics on plagiarism have b een compiled regarding plagiarism on college campuses. Front Lines >>Article continued from pg. 1 U.S. imperialism on notice that we will no longer stand by in silence while they create barriers to divide us." Ricardo Favela, MEChA President for the San Marcos campus, says he looks forward t o more student involvement in spite o f CSUSM's "conservative" atmosphere. Favela said, " There's a lot of things happening that, even though we're at a university, we don't know about. It's been said that students are the ones that promote social change. But t hat's not happening here. I can't explain why, but the community is taking care of itself." Lupe Canseco, a junior, said that as former MEChA President at San Dieguito Academy, she was not exposed t o the common, highly political issues faced by A frican Americans and Filipinos. " In prisons and in schools, if we attack each other, we're ignoring that we share a common struggle, and we create a space where the system can continue to control u s," Canseco said. The coalition is made up of five member organizations. The first t o report at the conference was Mexicanos Unidos en Defensa del Pueblo, represented by Hector Muro. He described the genesis of his group eight years ago a fter a community activist was "beaten and arrested by the Fallbrook S heriff s Department." According to http://www.plagiarism.org: • Almost 80 percent of college students admit to cheating at least once • Thirty-six percent of undergraduates admit to plagiarizing written material at least once • Ninety-percent of students believe that cheaters are never caught or have never been appropriately disciplined While there are some minor instances of plagiarism that can be addressed and f ixed with proper citation of sources and more knowledge of MLA and APA format, the more severe forms of plagiarism such as use of the Internet and using other students' papers are met with severe academic discipline. In most cases, incidents of plagiarism and academic dishonesty are handled when the faculty report the incident; the reports and are also handled by Assistant Dean Bills. Bills said that there are many reasons why students feel that they need t o cheat. A mong the many factors that drive students to plagiarize are low self-esteem, poor time management, poor attendance, stress management, looking for an easy way out, avoiding academic or personal challenges, and maintaining a certain GPA for financial aid or admittance to a graduate program. Among these factors, however, Bills says that most students that cheat are the B students who are trying t o get an A, or A students who feel the need to maintain high standards. Students that are failing the course are not as likely to cheat, according to Bills. The use of the Internet and technology has only made plagiarism easier. Web pages such as http://www.cheater.com, http:/ /www.ezwrite.com, and h ttp:/ Avww.essaydepQt.com are j ust some of the many websites that provide papers for students. Complete with footnotes and bibliographies, students have access to these entire papers at the click of a mouse. The u se of these websites however is heavily monitored by the university and are easily picked off by faculty and the O ffice of the Dean of Students. The university is not oblivious to the mediums of cheating that are available online. "Keeping track of Internet sites that provides essays online of the same concerns were expressed by all of the groups at the conference.

Depending on what level of plagiarism that a student is caught, academic discipline can range f rom failing a paper, failing a course, probation, to suspension f rom the university. Other consequences that result f rom plagiarism are lost trust of a faculty member and a written record in a student's academic file. Bills handles most of the cases regarding plagiarism and takes more serious cases to a committee for a formal hearing should the situation warrant it. According to Bills, t here have been instances where cases of plagiarism have b een handled between the student and the faculty member, but there have been occasions when the university has had to suspend and expel students f or plagiarism. "All instances of plagiarism are a big deal," Bills said. Most students think that the university's low tolerance of plagiarism is effective in deterring academic honesty. "I think that the university's policy on pla- giarism is good. People need to either create their own ideas or give the credit where it is deserved," said junior and Spanish major Estay Paulsen. Even with the university's policy on plagiarism, many students see incidents of plagiarism around them on campus. "I think the school makes a large issue about plagiarism happening l eft and right," said junior and literature and sociology major Jeff Cudmore. "As far as the students paying for their education goes, they should have sense enough to incorporate their own beliefs and thoughts into their work than t o steal someone else's and not give credit unto them." As plagiarism is a part of campus life, there are many things that students can do t o deter the need to cheat. "Before thinking of cheating, t hink of the factors that are leading you t o cheat. Attack those problems f irst before making a decision that could have more repercussions that are serious," advised Bills. "Be t rue to yourself, be t rue to your values, and b e t rue to your university. University life is a time of moral and academic development."

You got to have a good time, not thinking of money, but playing music that means something to you." I've heard Pollak perform, and his vocal style can be described as the style of Bob Marley. The Dealers send out an optimistic, energetic vibe as they play, and I was entranced by their passion in music that flowed through them. Pollak adds that The Dealers are up to caliber instrumentally and there are "amazing vibes" between all the members. He says his passion to sing began when his father cranked up Motown and oldies music when he was a child. When he was 15, the root sounds of Bob Marley, Jacob Miller and Lee Perry were added to Pollak's musical taste. "There is something about music that everyone can relate Arts & Entertainment to; there are chemicals inside us that make us feel," he commented. Pollak, who is both lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Dealers, also plays with drummer Dan Bradley; bass guitar, Scott Peterson; lead guitarist Chris Lavigne; organist arid clarinet player Brian Teal; and percussionist Christian Mills. The Dealers say they would love to be able to get their message out and expand. They also agreed that it would be incredible to meet new people. Pollak says he wouldn't mind making a living at his true passion: singing reggae. For the time being, however, Pollak attends Cal State San Marcos and says, he hopes to graduate in the next semester or two in sociology. He chose Cal State because he said SDSU was too crowded and because he just wanted to f inish school. When asked about this musician's opinion of the art on campus, Pollak responded, "I like the Cesar Chavez statue, but I live 45 minutes away, so I don't spend much time on campus." To find out more about The Dealers, e-mail them at iredealealers @hotmail.com. Pollak also said that he hopes people will check out The Reader for more information on his band and encourages everyone to come see them perform. Local Band Square Go Square Go performing at Chain Reaction. (Courtesy Photo/Square Go) By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer Square Go is San Marcos' most recent European invasion. The local British pop band features the talents of four Palomar College students: Scott Mitchell and Scottish brothers Martin, Gerald and Paul Coughlin. "A Square Go is a oneon-one fist fight," Martin said. The band has been together for almost four years, so they have done some growing up. Martin explained, "When we were younger, the name really fit, we used to be a rowdy bunch, but now we've mellowed out." With their creative talent, it's clear that all four guys, before birth, snuck out of the womb to play guitar. Square Go began rehearsing together in March 1997. They chose the name Square Go from the Scottish film, "Trainspotting." The band is especially proud that they have strong bass lines and three songwriters/singers. The sound of Square Go varies depending on which Coughlin brother is singing lead vocals. They are real, everyday guys who are out there having a good time. They primarily sing from three genres: rock, pop and hip-hop. Some of their inspiration comes from bands like the Beatles, Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit and Matchbox 20. "Being in a band is often times like a circus with all the flashy lights, girls, parties and music," said singer and co-song The Pride A Knight's Tale Heath Ledger, the knight in shining armor in the newfilm,"A Knight's Tale." (Courtesy Photo/Imdb.com) ByZACHARYPUGH Pride Staff Writer If high drama, lost love, and gruesome battles of yesteryear in an epic tradition are your expectations of "A Knight's Tale," then this movie is not for you. However, if action, f un and lightheartedness in a passable storyline with a good-looking cast suit your tastes, then I encourage you to see this film. Upon arriving at the theatre with a pocket of overflowing grocery store candy, I prepared for a not-so-exciting film with an Australian heartthrob playing a fresh-faced dim-witted youth; this was not the case with , "A Knight's Tale," which stars Heath Ledger as the pauper-turnedknight William Thatcher. writer Martin Coughlin. "Make the most of life because it won't last." The members of Square* Go are definitely entertainers. Mitchell, in particular, stands out in concerts with his trademark shoeless performance and crazy energy displayed between his intricate bass playing. "The three front guys are by the microphones, so they're limited in their movement and the drummer is stuck behind his kit, so I have to be more of the energy," said Mitchell. In, between classes and jobs, Square Go has made a name for itself. With about 300 shows to date, the band has performed throughout California and in Phoenix/ Arizona. They have also self-released three CDs; Different Skies and Sunshine were recorded in the studio, but their latest album, LIVE, has a bunch of new, unreleased live tracks that were recorded over the past year. Fans can hear some of their songs or purchase their CDs on MP3.com or by e-mailing Square Go at squarego@hotmail.com: Square Go is taking some time off to write songs. They will return to the studio later this year to record a new CD. Watch for Square Go this summer, they plan to do several local gigs. Thatcher, a knight's squire, steals the identity of his boss who dies during a jousting match. A wayward writer, Geoffrey Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany) forges papers of nobility for Thatcher in exchange for food, clothes and adventure. Together Thatcher and Chaucer create Ulrich von Liechtenstein, Thatcher's new knight persona. Thatcher uses the disguise of the fictitious Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein of Guilderland and new armor to compete in the famous jousting games of the nobility. After a series of successful jousts, the youthful would-be knight strives to win the heart of the beautiful maiden Jocelyn (played by newcomer Shannyn Sossamon) and to become the jousting knight champion. Accompanied by Chaucer and his two haphazardly comedic squires, Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), Thatcher, or rather Sir Ulrich, becomes the best jousting knight. Well, almost the best. There is one opponent that stands in his way of completing his trek to knighthood and the heart of Jocelyn: Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell). The musical score in this film is the most interesting part. The opening scene is a medieval stadium scene filled with peasants shaking their fists to Queen's "We Will Rock You." Other tunes that follow Queen's anthem throughout the movie are songs like David Bowie's "Golden Years," Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town," and what better music to get pumped for a jousting match than War's "Low Rider." Although this type of music is not typical in this genre of film, it blends quite well and puts a relatively strong youthful spin on an otherwise dreary era. And as Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein says, "Welcome to the new world." "A Knight's Tale" wasn't meant to be a f ilm dealing with social issues or anything of a serious nature. The heart of this movie appears to be light and f un, with a little cheesy humor. It made this viewer walk out into the bright light with a smile. This movie is 132 minutes and rated PG-13 by the MPAA for action violence, some nudity and brief sex-related dialogue. Shannyn Sossamon, playing Jocelyn, stars with Ledger.

If you answered yes, then you should have attended my Japanese class on April 30. Students Serena Cohenour and Mark Sablan revealed the secrets on how to make delicious California Rolls during their class presentation. "My favorite part of the presentation was when I actually got to eat the food," said student Joel Wiggington. When asked how it tasted, he said, "It was definitely one of the best California Rolls I've had in awhile." Student Jason Ubalde added, "The process is quite f un and short." If you didn't already know, the California Roll consists of crab, avocado, cucumber, seaweed, fish eggs (sometimes) and rice. The rolls can b e served as a dinner or as an appetizer. California Roll Ingredients: Japanese Cucumber Bamboo mat Salt Rice Sugar Avocado Vinegar Seaweed Sesame Seeds Kewpie Mayonnaise (optional) Smelt Roe (optional) The first thing you must do is wash and cook the white rice. When the rice is done cooking, mix in the vinegar, sugar and salt into a bowl. If you like smelt roe and mayonnaise you can mix them with imitation crab. Slice the cucumbers and avocado. Next, lay the seaweed f lat and apply a layer of rice covering the entire seaweed. The layer should be a quarter of an inch thick. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on the rice, and f lip it over. ' Place a little bit of the crab mixture in the middle of the seaweed then apply the slices of avocado and cucumber on opposite sides of the crab mixture. Next, it is ready to be rolled. You can do this either by hand or preferably with a bamboo mat. Now it is ready to eat. You can dip it with soy sauce and wasabi if that is your preference. It may take you a couple tries to master the California Roll, but once you've mastered this recipe, you will be the envy of all your friends. �The Pride Arts & Entertainment Tuesday, May 22,2001 5 N oontime B rown B ag Concert Series Randy Graves plays the Australian didjeridu outside the Dome.

L azarro said, " While we have played together for years, t his group h as only been performing together for three days." Despite their limited experience playing as a group, the band performed flawlessly for the duration of the performance. The music ranged f rom' relaxing, instrumental melodies, to more upbeat, rhythmic selections that featured f unky bass lines and heavier d rum beats.

The G erman Theater-Evening showed students how f un and interesting a foreign language course can be, and h opefully dispelled certain myths about the difficulty of the German language.

CEO? He is my teacher. Which brings me to travesty number one. Everyone in the department knows t hat Dr. Wang can do anything—anything technical, anything high-paying. But he selected teaching. While he's leaving because of departmental reasons, his 12-minute speech brought attention to how little computer science teachers get paid. I mean, according to a recent study, computer science and engineering majors are the highest paid in the industry. However, our computer science teachers are paid only half of what they are paid at CSU Fullerton. While I hate to say it, it's as if San Marcos has become a school where teachers who have unsuc- cessfully looked everywhere else for a j ob have to settle for. Travesty number two introduces another party to the picture, While I will refrain from discussing who this person is, I will let you in on the actions of this certain individual. He wrote a letter, one that has no truth. He alleges in this letter that Wang will only help if you pay him; that Wang enjoys failing the majority of his class. While it is true that Wang has a reputation of being a tough instructor, he is fair and equitable to all students; he realizes the importance of a good education so we can compete with those rich yuppies from the Ivy League. Let me tell you, Wang spent, from his own pocket, $500 per class per semester to help his students. F-i-v-e h-u-n-d-re-d d-o-l-l-a-r-s per class. Wang accepts no payment for help. None. But the allegations weren't the worst part. This student sent the letter to the governor of California, the President of CSUSM, and the Chancellor of CSU schools. All this, without even talking to Wang about his problems. Once more, I emphasis that none of the allegations were true. This is along the same lines as accusing an innocent man of rape. While there is no truth to this, the victim is the accused, and will forever carry this shadow. Thanks, unnamed person. Thanks for stunting our educa- W h e n I t C omes t o C omputer A ccess, T his S chool B ytes By LISA LIPSEY Pride Staff Writer It's 1:15 on a Thursday afternoon, my class has just ended and I have a two-hour break before my next class. Two hours of lab time to go through all my notes and start writing the first draft of one of my research papers. Welcome to the Open Access Computer Lab in Academic Hall (the only one on campus). It has approximately 80 computers on a campus with 65 times that many students. Before his current position at the University of Houston Clear Lake, Dr. McWilliams also held faculty and administrative roles. "This experience has given me the opportunity to develop a comprehensive view of higher education," he said. McWilliams has also served as the acting dean for Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina and worked as Vice President for Academic Affairs in two small, independent colleges, Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina and Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. McWilliams was born in Oakland, California and raised in Greenly, Colorado. A line. Great, no problem, I'm patient. I only begin to seethe when half the people are writing e-mail and three guys gather around one or two of the computers to check out chicks in swimsuits and lingerie at the Victoria's Secret website, Couldn't they at least search for cheap entertainment on the computers in the new student lounge? Oh wait, those are not up and running yet! I noticed the three computers in the student lounge during the first week of the semester. Is ASI trying to show-off that they have loads of student money to throw around by ordering computers and leaving them to decorate the room? It's a real shame. We have advanced technology and all types of awesome programs to work with, but the basic need for computer access is lacking. I complained to a lab monitor and he told me that I could use any empty lab room. After hiking around the campus, I found one and typed up 10 minutes of text before the next CS 301 class began to filter into the room. CSUSM needs another Open Access Computer Lab. When it comes to computer access, this school bytes. After getting his associates degree at Otero Junior College in Colorado, he attended California Western University in San Diego his junior year and worked as a clinical psychologist in the county juvenile hall. A fter serving as a counselor- in a residential home for adolescents, Dr. McWilliams worked as a research assistant on a navy project studying behavior under stress and proceeded to attain his BA from Cal State Long Beach. Dr. McWilliams' early research and studies focused on topics such as community mental health and community psychology. Before acquiring his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester in tional growth. Thanks for taking away the quality edge Wang strived so hard to provide his students. In other words, thanks for nothing. So what now? I have no clue. I had always wished that when I graduate, he would hand me my diploma, he would shake my hand. Oh, he'll get my graduation invitation, that's for damn sure. All I can wish for all of us recently less fortunate computer science majors is good luck. Seriously. For our dear Stanley, we wish you the best.

Clinical Psychology, Dr. McWilliams interned in Veterans Administration hospitals and did his dissertation research on the role of paraprofessional mental health workers in the schools. While Dr. McWilliams states that his first task as new Dean "will be to listen and learn," he has plans for the College of Arts and Sciences. "I see a multiple vision for the College of Arts and Sciences. The College should also meet the personal and professional needs of students and the local community by offering degree programs that provide students with the education and skills that they will need to f ulfill their goals, both in terms of employment and personal development. In these and many other ways, I see the College of Arts and Sciences as playing a major leadership role in the life of the University and the North County community." McWilliams' wife, Mary, has a Ph.D. in English Literature and currently holds a faculty position at Lee College in Baytown, Texas. They enjoy visual and performing arts, ethnic food, and have traveled to places such as India, France, Germany, Puerto Rico, Honduras and Jamaica. In his spare time, Dr. McWilliams enjoys hiking, bicycle riding, motor vehicles, and is an amateur photographer. �The Pride Sports Tuesday, May 22,2001 7 I nternship W omen's Golf F lies t o N AIA C hampionships E ffie R engpian N amed First Ail-American Woman's Golfer for University The women s golf team placedfifth in this year's NAIA National Golf Tournament in London, Kentucky.

" I'm very pleased with how our team played, they have the right attitude and good mental concentration on their side," said Assistant Golf Coach Dan Anderson as they headed to N AIA Regional competition on May 4 and 5. The regional tournament was held at the Cypress Ridge Country Club in California's Arroyo Grande, a 5,838-yard, 72-par course.

XV NO. 15 BY RACHELL REYES & CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writers Five freshmen students coordinated a community-wide rally on campus in protest of the antiimmigration bill HR 4437, on Monday, May 1. The rally, in conjunction with the national Great American Boycott, served to give students the opportunity to have their voices héard about social policies and issues regarding immigration. "We just talked about it, and never did anything about it," said Herminia Ramirez, lead organizer, about her f rustrations with socially conscientious courses. "Our problem was that we needed to take action." Ramirez, with the support of four fellow WMST 101 students, Marisol Marquina, Kathie Alvizo, Karen Leon, and Carmen Contreras, organized the rally attracting over 300 participants and 11 guest speakers. "I am very humbled to be a part of this movement," said Josh Harris, guest speaker and ^ S P S M «t»ff rm*TnH*r "T thinV i t's important to recognize all those who won't be here today." Harris expressed how many immigrants, legal and illegal, aren't often visible in our society. "The public doesn't see them. Today, part of getting our word out is making them visible. We will not be invisible anymore." Lori Walkington, a Women's Studies major and volunteer at the rally, was disappointed with the lack of diversity in student involvement.

Each new project is designed to better serve the campus community as well as increase the department's visibility and connections with students and faculty. The campus will be stocking a new property-marking product, Data Dots, for sale this Fall. Data Dots is a kit containing microscopic dots that can be painted onto mp3 players, cellular phones, laptops, books, and other valuables for identification purposes. In the event that these items are stolen, they can be tracked by University Police and San Diego County S heriffs departments. The Data individuals in the community who Dots kit comes with adhesive and hold restraining orders. a serial number for the user that is "The program is meant to attached to each of the kit's 500 allow us to make early intervendots.

Each officer Police department to connect with will be assigned a campus build- ing during the semester and will be responsible for developing plans for emergency responses, dealing with potential hazards, and disability safety for the structure. The program was inspired by the department's need for making themselves more visible on campus, not only to students but to the faculty as well. Along with familiarizing themselves with the building's structure, officers will also be in charge of connecting with faculty and staff working in the building. Lastly, campus police will be developing an acquaintance rape program to be implemented this fall. The program is still in the works, but Lt. Miller describes this new service as a strategy for rape prevention. "The best time to set up inter- vention to prevent acquaintance rape is in the fall with incoming freshmen and sophomores during the first two weeks of the fall semester," said Miller. Campus police will be making door-to-door visits at University Village to educate tenants on the facts of acquaintance rape. Male tenants will receive information about the facts of consent whereas female tenants will receive information about how to avoid becoming victims of rape. The program targets mainly UVA tenants, but information on rape prevention is available to all students. The University Police Department hopes to extend its services to all incoming and existing students at the start of the academic year to reinforce its presence on campus.

It is a model for others; it signifies the belief in not only today, but in the future of this institution." One of the elements each successful campus needs is community partnership, said Murray Galinson, chairman of the CSU Board of Trustees. "It takes community leaders to embrace the campus and help it reach its goals." "We appreciate what a university does for its students and surrounding communities," said Donor Ken Markstein. "Since it's becoming impossible for the state to finance the complete needs of its universities, it's imperative for the community to be involved not only in moral support, but in financial support as well." National and local government entities presented the Markstein Family and the campus with honorary recognition plaques and proclamations. Awards were presented on behalf of Congressman Darrell Issa, Cruz Bustamante, Senator Bill Morrow and the California Legislator, State Assemblyman Mark Wyland, the San Diego County Supervisor's Office, the City of Oceanside, the City of Escondido, the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos, the City of Vista, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Through working together and partnering together," said Guseman, "We can accomplish many great things." rnoto oy cnristine vaugnan / i ne r riae Interview with Roy lee ASI President Elect BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) President Elect Roy Lee for 2006/2007 offered his first open speech at The Crash Awards Ceremony, on Wednesday, April 26. Lee's speech came under fire from one of the editors at the Pride Newspaper based on the fact she found it unprofessional. According to the opinion article, the writer felt that Lee was not as polished or as professional as the current ASI president, Marc DeGuzman. "There are all kinds of leadership styles, you cannot compare me and Marc DeGuzman," said Lee in response to the article. "Neither one of us is better than the other, just different." "Leadership is a case sensitive and is based on the individual." Though he did read the article prior to going to print, Lee was informed of the opinion piece and was given a chance to respond. "I could have been more polished that evening, but I chose not. I wanted to present myself to my peers," commented Lee about the speech overall. Lee wanted to convey that he respects anyone's opinion on his leadership style and would be willing to discuss it with anyone. "There is more to school than classes, there is campus life and it plays a significant role," said From RALLY page 1 F AMILY D ENTISTRY Dr. Marlene Thompson, D.D.S.

Lee, a current business and marketing major at Cal State San Marcos, could not comment on next year's ASI board but did say that he hopes to deliver a strong University Hour. "Overall it will benefit students," said Lee. ety, and the events of May 1,2006, are simply another stage in this long historical process." Dr. Jorge Riquelme, professor of Liberal Studies, was among the speakers at the rally. Riquelme discussed how the United States is demonstrating conflicting messages regarding immigration. One such conflict centers on the Mexican flag debate, arguing between images of Mexican-nationalism versus patriotism to America. "I do not perceive the flags from different countries as an insult to America," said Riquelme. Flags are not symbols of allegiance, Riquelme went on to say, they are symbols of our heritage and culture. The rally served as a plat- form, and as a reminder, to urge students to vote in the November primary elections. In November, voters will have the opportunity to elect, or reelect, members of the Congress, the political entity responsible for passing legislative bills, such as HR 4437. "When you vote, that is when you show your true colors," said Riquelme. "For the next election in November, remember who voted yay and who voted nay for HR4437." "I think they did a fabulous job," said Professor Linda Pershing. "These young women have never done a rally before, and I applaud their efforts to voice their concerns about an issue that personally affects them."

With graduation around the corner, many graduates are excited, but may be f earful of what to expect after the completion of undergrad school. Literature & Writing Studies professor, Dr. Moukhalis, shared his experience as a graduate as well as words of encouragement for the class o f2006. Moukhalis was a first generation college student, like many who will be graduating this semester. "My father never had a chance to go to school. Living under French colonial rule, it was very difficult for him or his single mom to afford the expenses of school. At a very early age he had to support his mother. My mother had an elementary education, but never made it to college. So, I am first-generation college student." Dr. Moukhalis attended and graduated from Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, with a degree in "English Language and Literature". Having studied in Morocco, Moukhalis's experience was different than that of an undergraduate here. "In terms of opportunities, college education in Morocco is subsidized by the government and is free. In some schools it is an open admission policy. Once students graduate from high school, their choice of college is limited to their major. The programs are very carefully designed to ensure a much focused education and at the same time to introduce students to a global perspective. I remember in high school, for example, I had to learn about the literature, history, geography, and economy of so many countries, including, for example, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and the United States," shared Moukhalis. What is common is the challenge "It was very challenging but I enjoyed it so much." There was no formal commencement ceremony, however, he did have "the privilege of receiving an invitation to the King's palace," but like many students who won't attend their commencement, he never made it. The class of 2006 is said to have a good job market available to them. Many students will have to end their college careers (or put them on hold) to enter the job market. Numerous others will continue on to graduate school. Advice from others may be helpful, but follow your own instinct. Contrary to the current job market for graduates, when Moukhalis was graduating, "the job market was really tight and there were few opportunities for graduates," so, "against the advice of all to get a job," he opted for graduate school to further pursue his dreams of being a college professor. Some students will not get accepted to their first choice graduate school, but Moukhalis did, eventually earning a masters degree, " from Keele University in England." He later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Sate University of New York at Stony Brook; "I'm glad I followed my own instinct then." Along with hard work, Moukhalis attributes his success to his father, "My dad actually is my role model. Even though he never had any formal education; he had to struggle all his life to spare us that hardship. I always heeded his advice about the importance of getting an education." To the graduating class of 2006, fear not, because from Moukhalis's perspective, "I would like to remind students that graduation is not the end; it is the beginning of hopefully a life f ull of more challenges, hard work, and most importantly more achievements."

Not all legislation is covered in this timeline on U.S. immigration policy: 1882—The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese laborers from entering for 10 years. 1891—The Immigration Act of 1891 was the first comprehensive law for national control of immigration. Established the Bureau of Immigration within the Treasury Department, it restricted immigration by certain classes of persons, and directed the deportation of anyone entering the U.S. illegally. 1924—The Immigration Act of 1924 was the first permanent limitation on immigration which established the "national origins quota system" which set annual immigration quotas at 2 percent of the number of persons of a given nationality to reside in the U.S. This act, along with the Immigration Act of 1917, governed American immigration policy until 1952. It established a preference quota for those unmarried children under 21;parents; spouse of U.S. citizens; and those immigrants aged 21 and older who were skilled in agriculture, along with their wives and dependent children. 1940—The Alien Registration Act required registration of all aliens. 1942—Executive Order 9066—Evacuation and Internment of Japanese and JapaneseAmerican citizens from the West Coast. 1942—The United States and Mexico signed the Mexican Farm Labor Program Agreement, which set up the Bracero system that legally brought 4.6 million Mexican migrant workers to the U.S. over the next 24 years. 1952—The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 became the comprehensive law governing immigration and nationalization. It gave preference to skilled workers, those who had relatives that were U.S. citizens and legal aliens. 1965—-The Amendment to the Act of 1952 abolished the national origins quota system, visas were given on first come, first served basis, and gave preference to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens and those with special skills. 1986—The Immigration Reform and Control Act autho- rized temporary and then permanent resident status for aliens residing in the U.S. illegally since 1982 and created sanctions for employers who knowingly hire aliens not authorized to work in the U.S. 1990—The Immigration Act of 1990 increased the total immigration amount. Refugees were excluded from limitations. 1996—The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 increased criminal penalties for immigration-related offenses. The majority of the legislation during the 1900's was intended to restrict the immigration of those from European countries. For example, based on nationality, the quota system would allow more Germans to immigrate in comparison to Italians. Fast forward to 2006. HR4437 is a proposed as Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Immigrants' rights groups are calling for a nationwide boycott of school, work and to not spend money in opposition to this bill. Several students here at Cal State San Marcos were asked to share their thoughts on the boycott and the bill and immigration all together. The answers immerged as varied here as they areacross the country. For some students the issue is that all Hispanics/Latinos need to ban together and support the immigrants. Some students believe the boycott is a complete waste of time, while others fear a backlash against all Hispanics. There are some students that believe that these boycotts and protests merely make the Hispanic and Mexican communities look like victims. "If an illegal wants citizenship, they should have to go about it just like everyone else in this world . .. stop making Mexicans look like they are victims; the problem is with illegals, not Mexicans," voiced student Daniel Perez. Student Maribel Baltadano supports the boycott "It is the way many civil rights movements began their fight against racial discrimination." Amy Chacon points out that those protesting are not just Hispanic or Mexican. "People are uniting all over the U.S to protest . .. Not just Mexicanos but people of all descent are supporting this cause." Others believe it is not about race, but about breaking the law and not following the proper procedures. Student Jose Cruz believes the issue is legitimate but that "it's the wrong way to send a message. If you want to send a message, do exactly that, send a message, talk, protest, be vocal, write to newspapers, etc. People will listen. People will not listen if you throw a tantrum and stay at home by skipping school." Some students also believe that identifying this as primarily "Hispanic or Chicano" related may alienate other immigrants and possible supporters of this cause. "I think, we ALL want to achieve the same goals with the Boycott, but we have to somehow agree on how to relate the message to all people in a way that includes and invites support and does not exclude or invites identities," said Juana Molina. Conversely, Student Anthony Hutchinson was quoted asking "Why stop with one day??? Why not make this a 'permanent' boycott, vatos? Really make it worth while, and just don't ever come back." No matter the perspective, students are encouraged to educate themselves so that they may speak intelligently on the topic, and to take the necessary and proactive steps to make their position known.

That was the only issue that I had with him and I tease him about it whenever I get the chance. He always backed my words, which is exactly what an editor should do. During Patrick's term it seemed as though everything he accomplished came with a struggle. A struggle to find someone to write a story, a struggle with personalities that didn't want to learn proper AP style and even a struggle to find a new editor-inchief for next school year. Somehow he always found a way to get things done. Before I discuss the future, I have a couple more good-byes to some more graduates. Antoinette Johnson was one of the best staff writers that the newspaper has seen. Her stories graced the front page on nearly every issue. She also had my back around campus when I was being accused of sexism. Christine Vaughan was a great News Editor and College Life: What the U.S. Marines did not prepare me for BY KARIN REYES Pride Staff Writer thought k ^ in the park, I was so very wrong. At the time I started my college career I had already been on active duty for 6 and a half years in the Marine Corps. So I figured four years of college should be a breeze. However I forgot one thing; how to handle adjusting from the structured and disciplined life of the military to a very unstructured, undisciplined civilian life. Military life is not as bad as it sounds. Aside from bootcamp (which the Marines have the hardest—we are proud to brag about that) life in the Corps, for some, tends to settle into a routine that gets comfortable after awhile. I was in that comfortable routine when I applied for and got accepted to the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program— MECEP. This program allowed me to stay on active duty, receive full pay and benefits and attend CSUSM as a full time student. Sounds too good to be true I know, but that's where the greatness ends. When I started classes here back in 2002 I was dealt a tremendous culture shock. I joined the Marine Corps when I was barely nineteen years old, so I did my growing up in the military unlike my fellow classmates. This is where I had the most difficulty adjusting—interacting with other students who the majority were younger than myself and tended to be immature in my eyes. My biggest and most difficult lesson to learn here was to relax. Easier said than done. Anytime a student whined or complained to the professor about anything, whether the syllabus or an assignment, I would sit in my chair and fume. Anytime a professor lost control of a class or seemed to have no clear direction, or if students would have conversation and not pay attention, I would sit there and force myself not to jump up and start barking orders to everyone. Now not every student or professor was like this. In fact, I am positive that it was only a select few that have stood out in my memory. Of course take into consideration that I have a Type A personality combined with being a control freak and anal retentive, I'm sure those factored into how I viewed events at the time, making them totally exaggerated. The Marines never taught me how to deal with this. Sure we learned about being respectful and tactful when dealing with each other—but it's easier when everyone has the same expectations of how things are supposed to be. I didn't have to worry about hurting people's feelings because I would tell them to be quiet during a class or meeting, but in college that is just not happening. Add to that having to drive to San Diego at least two times a week for "military training", along with being a parent and a spouse and college has definitely taught me a thing or two about multi-tasking. Try getting up at 3:30 in the morning to be in San Diego by 5:30 a.m. for military classes and training, then driving the 45 minutes or so back to Oceanside to pick up kids from school, then make dinner for the family, help with homework, try and squeeze in my homework, then drive another 45 minutes to get to San Marcos (yeah, 45 mins. From Oceanside, traffic nightmare) to sit in class from 5 p.m. until 8:30, then try and be home by 9 p.m. to see husband for 15 minutes, then end up falling asleep on the couch. I don't care how much training you have, that schedule never gets easy. I can't wait to get back to regular old military life! All complaining and venting aside, I wouldn't change my experience because without it I wouldn't have met some truly interesting and special people. I've learned to relax—a little bit, and I've learned that all of us can learn something from others even if we don't see it at first. Congratulations to those who are graduating in a few weeks, I'll see you at graduation. And for those that are not: ha ha ha ha, you still have to go to school! she seemed to be in the office no matter what time I walked in. I thank both of them for being great contributors to this paper. Last week I met the new editorin-chief, David Gatley. I look forward to working with him because he seems like a good guy and he already has many new things that he wants to do with the paper. It also seems like he is set for the challenges that he will face. He is actually going to have to find writers, rather than having a class provide them for him. Because of that, I am assuming that the paper will be small to start off, but will grow in time. As for the sports section, I really see it changing. The new Soccer, Softball and Baseball programs will make it so that actual stories are written about campus athletics. Nothing against golf, cross country and track and field because I do know many of the athletes on the teams and they are great people, but those aren't spectator sports and there hasn't been much to write about. Along with the sports section, I hope to have the student radio station up and running. Dr. Anthony Hurst and I will be doing some work this summer to make that happen. I want to send a special thanks to Laura Wilson, Chris Hecklinger, Michelle Jules and Matt Mull for working with me on the project in Dr. Katherine Brown's COMM 355 class. We created the CSUSM Radio Club, which will be available for students to join in the Fall. We are going to start with pod-casting, and hopefully in the not too distant future we will be doing web-casting. Next year should be my last one on campus and I can't wait to continue this column in the fall for what will be my fifth semester involved with the paper. Comments can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.

Spring is here. Our common colds and minimal rains are neither withstanding, nor less arbitrary, than the calendar marking the seasonal transition. In this desert, this artificial oasis, so many of us live without an appreciation for the true cold of winter, thus without an appreciation for Spring's return. What all of us do have is the oldest and most enduring icon of the selfsame cure and virus for Spring Fever. We, as college students, are surrounded by fresh and freshlyarrived beautiful women. So, women of CSUSM, let me speak to you: Envy, like stratification, is natural. Luckily, so is Beauty, and like Nature it requires only health: nutritious food, physical exertion and a joyful Will to be alive. Worthy partners do not require physical perfection any more than those who 'have it' know it, or keep it. Worthy partners will remember the parts of you they most favor, not the parts you cannot change. Worthy partners do not seek conquest over contact, that is for ill-adolescents, and they are only their parents' concern. Be alive and open to these worthy partners, for they are willing and eager to remind you how beautiful you are. I am eager to remind you how beautiful you are. And I don't need a class on 'romantic' poetry, or a history of our malignant patriarchy, to do it . .. though the blessing of my own partner probably wouldn't hurt. Back to the theme, then. There are many empty but intoxicating fortunes to be made in making you obsessed with your allure and ashamed of your desires. There are many crippled spirits driven mad with the fear of you, determined to enslave your (and thus all) Lust through confusion, through dividing debate over an archaic procedure that, oh so curiously, has not yet been made obsolete. The fortune-seekers need you more than you need them; beauty can be supplemented, but never sold, thus all merchants serve Beauty, and you owe nothing to servants who forget their place. The crippled spirits need many things, but deserve nothing so much as the sight of you coming to love the sight of you as you have made yourself. For you ARE beautiful, and may you by your Will stay beautiful, as you would remain beautiful, even were you to die before knowing love. No beauty is so rare as the beauty fully realized, but no beauties are lost but those that are wasted, and none that recognize themselves are ever wasted. Do not give Lust, holy Desire, the blood of your beauty, to that alluring confidence and affluence that you already possess. Do not hoard swords, less they make your cup an ever-empty sieve. Do not lord yourself above those that would raise you from irresistible to invaluable. They will love you, if you give them the chance, because you are beautiful, and you are beautiful because you Are. You are your experiences, your inspired explorations and your delicious tastes. You are, each and every one of you, beautiful, not by imitating representations, but by existing as whole, and real, and sovereign in yourself. You have, and must cultivate, a Name and a Consciousness that makes you 'an object' only so much as a living, bleeding deity is an object. Were all of civilization to rot down from its art, to its religion, to its magic, to the end of names and back into linguistic zero, there would still be enough left enough for them to lose themselves and gain eternity in the unassuming sway of your hips, the pronouncing contortions of your mouth, the softness of your warming touch. Your symmetries and tones are your own, and they are beautiful because the world is beautiful and the world is beautiful because it varies. Do not chase bleached hair and silicone breasts as an ideal any more than you'd chase a single dress or set of jewelry as the one and only ornament you'd need for the rest of your life. The worthy partner will reach out their hands to touch YOU, not your 'things'. Lust, as any essential element to life, can be poorly managed, but your beauty makes it too invaluable to be forever suppressed by winters, storms, ill-children or crippled spirits. Go now, and be adored. Make the eye contact then make it again; the smile, the first hello and casual question. The smallest, yet clearest invitation will turn shy awe into confident dedication. Their unbridled Lust will bind them to you for however so long as you would give them here, as you would have them there. You are beautiful, make the same of the Spring and its Fevers. - Zachary Simon CSUSM student's thoughts about 'breaking the silence' Today April 26th at noon, six members of the LGBTQ including myself stood and broke the silence. Silence we had been keeping in recognition for the voices that are hushed each day because they were not of the heterosexual orientation. Voices silenced from fear. Fear of retri- bution . . . fear for something outside of our control. . Being a 21 year old gay male I have grown up to except and love myself. I learned to love myself when our society told me I was wrong. I learned to love god when my church members condemned WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER?

I learned that what I am is not a mistake and that no one should grow thinking otherwise. People other than the hetero-normative frame are people just the same. Today we tried to get that back. Some of us placed tape on our mouths others wore white, and others simply did not speak. Fleers were passed out up until noon. TheseTflyers said, "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. People who are silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The day of silence is to draw attention to those who ARE YOU ïïimiiu IN WRITING FOR THE PRIDE NEXT Y EAR?

Think about the voices you are not hearing. What can you do to end the silence?" For us to live in a society that does not allow people of the same sex to marry and share love what morality are we spreading? That certain types of love weigh more then others? What does it say about our society that a person that is not heterosexual cannot live and die for this country? Is this a country that is so obvious that there is no separation between church and state? For people who do not follow the mold of heterosexuality why should they have to look around before they know it is safe to hold each other's hand? Why should any people be segregated into certain parts of the city for a somewhat sense of security. So we protested. In protest we silenced ourselves along with "An estimated 500,000 students at 4,000 schools nationwide" according to dayofsilence.org, but with one difference, at twelve we broke our silence. We broke the silence that our society is to use too. Names like Mathew Shepard and Brandon Teena maybe somewhat familiar of victims of hate crimes but there are many others that have gone without the representation of the media. Others that had to be recognized like Danny Overstreet, Billy Jack Gaither, Tyra Hunter for starters. These people were just that people and did not deserve the deaths they received. Today we broke the silence and for me personally I am tired of being quite I want to be heard and not ignored. I am gay I am real, see me, recognize me, and know that I am more then just my sexuality. As we prepared are mouths were taped and as we removed the bondage of this society we began to speak. We began to speak of events that outside of Mathew Sheppard many people are unaware of. According to gsanetwork.org "The project consists of a vow of silence for the entire school day, or however long your school wishes to have it, where participants pass out cards that state their reasons for not speaking (see below). At the end of the silence, participants can host a series of follow up events to educate their communities on how to keep the silence from continuing." -Andrew M. Ruisenor �letters to the Editor: I read Phil Hoffman's "Response to the Letter to the Editor" in last week's Pride. Phil had commented that forcing gay and transgender issues is actually "impeding on our rights." Phil, this is a false statement. He also argued that gay and transgender events are "completely anti-America[n]." Phil, this is also a false statement. I don't view ASI nor LBGTA's events (such as the fashion show, gay wedding, etc.) as impeding on our rights. You may not agree with their views, Phil, but asking them to stop such events is impeding on students' rights, and that would be truly anti-American. As a student I will also do my duty by asking ASI, LBGTA and other student organizations to continue such events. We need one another to open our minds. Isn't that what our university should ultimately promote? -Vicky Segall LTWR In last week's edition of the Pride, Karen Perez asked the question, "Did you know that this bill (House Resolution 4437) makes illegal people criminals?" I would like to respond to her question by saying, Karen, aren't immigration laws, laws that if violated make a person criminal? These protests planned for May 1st are not about immigrant's rights as Ms. Perez's letter suggests, it is about fighting for 11 million criminals to be granted amnesty from punishment for breaking the law, as well as for promoting the idea of continuing to turn a blind eye to the crimes that occur everyday when someone enters this country illegally. However in the end, I feel that the United States as a whole should walk hand in hand with those that are wishing to immigrate into the United States and say, "Si Se Puede legalmante." I do not speak for all of those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community. I am one gay person with my own story. Other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individualsLimvjsuiic^^ there are similarities among the stories, they are different. I have been criticized for being discriminatory toward Christians and Catholics by a fellow student in the campus paper. I have not denounced Catholicism, I am still Catholic. Nowhere in my fetter to the editor did I single out ALL Christians or Catholics. I do not discriminate against Christians or have any ill will towards them. I simply described my own personal experiences as they happened to me. • Some might ask, ' Then why focus so much of your conversation on Christians?" As I described in my first letter, my experience within the Christian community is where I was met with the most discrimination. I do not hate Christians for this, nor do I believe all Christians act the same way. Rather, my response is to educate people that Christianity does not mean anti-gay. Christianmeans,"Christ-like" Christ would not spew hate or discrimi- Phil: I read your letter in response to Cheyenne, regarding the importance of a gay wedding on campus. Yes, same-sex marriage is illegal in this country. Do you know what else used to be illegal, up until 1961? Interracial marriage! Check this out: In the case ofLoving vs. Virginia (1961), a black man and his white wife were prosecuted for their marriage, the judge defending the verdict by saying, "Almighty God created the races of White, Black, Yellow; Malay, and Red, and He placed them on separate continents „.And but for the interference with His arrange- ment there would be no cause for such marriages. Thefact that He separated the races shows that he did not intendfor the races to mix" Tell me Phil, do you agree with this statement? If interracial marriage were illegal today, would you oppose an "interracial wedding event"? The law is not always right, so sometimes you must stand up for what you believe is r ight This is what the LGBTA is doing. You don't have to agree with them. I also disagree with your statement saying that ASI and the LBGTA are "forcing these issues down our throats." I don't feel forced at all. Hey, ifyou don't want to attend a fashion show or a gay wedding, DON'T! The LGBTA hasn't hurt anybody, or violated anybody's rights, as you say. How dare you try to impede on the right of these people to defend themselves as human beings who deserve human rights? As for Anti-America, how do you define "American"? A white mommy and daddy, with 2.5 kids, living in the suburbs driving a Ford Explorer? Please. If you have some important issues to promote, I encourage you to do so, but please don't get in anybody else's way. Sincerely, Jennifer Ho An Unruly Faction The campus is abuzz with talk of the 1 May boycott, and the desired affect upon and against the US economy. I am not only disconcerted by the open discussion of the premeditated sabotage, I am thoroughly convinced that such behavior does not constitute the cut or character of one worthy to reside within the borders of this fine nation. Those who would undermine our systems of governmental and economic policy have no place or business amongst our elite countrymen. Such people do not deserve to partake with me, a citizen of this country. Such treacherous individuals should not be afforded the liberties for which so many men have died to protect. Let those that boycott receive the full recompense for their malefaction and disrespectful sedition perpetrating upon the country to which they would, not for the betterment of their state, but for opportunities which they would exploit. It would be better, were they to not only abide for the duration of the day in their homes, but that selfrepatriate (those that are illegal), saving the national treasury the cost. I am whole-heartedly behind any repercussive actions taken against those who participate, including their loss of employment, failing of classes, or any disciplinary action that against them may be taken. - Lee Mitchell I wanted to write and convey one student's perspective on the illegal immigration issue as to hopefully prompt further political discourse. During the past couple of weeks it has been remarkable to see my peers rallying around a political cause. The right to peaceably assemble is one of those rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution (to American citizens) that is rarely exercised by college students, so to hear about the event planned for May 1st regarding a political cause is extremely encouraging. However I am torn because while it is nice to see my peers standing up for a political cause, it is disheartening that it has to be regarding the issue of illegal immigration, because I am completely dumfounded as to how anyone could make an intelligent argument as to how violating the laws of this country is a noble cause that should be rewarded. I understand a lot of you are sitting there saying, well Bryan, because illegal immigrants do the jobs no one else will do, and to that I disagree because illegal immigrants that accept below minimum wage positions (that may be undesirable) are not taking a job that someone else would not do, they are merely undercutting the federal and state minimum wage laws and accepting positions for less pay than is mandated by law to American citizens. ble to try to either incarcerate or repatriate 12 million people.

Incoming ASI president, Roy Lee, delivered his first "formal" speech at the Crash Awards Night, commemorating and recognizing student leadership and involvement on campus, at the honorary ceremony on Wednesday, April 26. It is understood that when introducing a new Board of Directors for ASI, certain liberties are taken by the student population to scrutinize elected officials. One such liberty involves judging the competency of its representatives and, if need be, expose inadequacies. Having said that, it is my desire that you be sufficiently informed as to how our new "president" is representing the student voice of Cal State San Marcos. It is my opinion that, after reading the following speech, I doubt students will take much, if any, comfort in knowing that Roy Lee will be our representative. As president, Lee will be expected to deliver countless speeches to high-end executives, politicians, and community leaders. If Wednesday night's speech is any indicator as to his pptential as ASI President, I fear that the student body, not to mention Cal State San Marcos as a whole, will be viewed as a mockery to academia. The following is Roy Lee's speech in its entirety - verbatim. It has not been taken out of con- text in any way, nor has it been edited for grammatical errors. Let yourself be the judge: "First o f f , I would like to thank all of you who votedfor me, and for those that have not, um, no just joking. Now moving, so, I came here guys to Cal State San Marcos, you know, like all of you guys to get my higher education. But I came here really with a different mindset. Um, you see when I graduated high school I told myself 'all right buddy just chill. You know, you don't know, just don't get involved, k. Don't get involved, don't don't get yourself too crazy out there, you know. Forget clubs, forget sports, forget studying.' I mean, honestly, though, but. I told myself, you know, 4just take it easy, don't get involved, you don't know how hard college will be compared to high school.' I'm sure some of you can relate that, right, ok. So, four years pass by, five, whatever, and now I'm your guys ASI President. Good job... that's awesome, but I don't regret it you guys, don't regret it at all. Um, being in ASI has taught me so many things that a classroom could never teach me. Um, which is really good because seeing that I don't really pay attention in class all that often, it's a good thing that I've been out of the classroom structure, um, but being in ASI at San Marcos has been my continuing drive to get my degree.

I want to commend you all for making my experience at Cal State Marcos a memorable one. And I hope, that ASI will make it just as memorable for you guys as, you guys have done it for us. Thanks." While I have no personal vendetta towards Lee, I perceive his speech as a prime example of student apathy. Although uncontested in the elections, 388 students, out of 578, voted for Lee to represent them as the voice of Cal State San Marcos. Had more students engaged in running for the presidency, I believe a more competent-sounding candidate would be serving our campus. ASI would be wise to splurge a little of their $1.4 million dollar budget on protecting the integrity and image of the student voice. I urge students to demand higher standards of such representatives and, perhaps, advise Lee to consider hiring a speech consultant. - Christine Vaughan News Editor for The Pride F 1500+ spaces behind Lot E * PARKI NG FEE INCREASE STUDENT UVA CREDENTIAL Hpp'5 $248 $315 $ 124 DAILY PERMITS $7 Parking ajnd Transportation Services Sem. Sent. Sem. Month Day �16 A &E Tuesday, May 2,2006 THE PRIDE What is female beauty? BY ANDREW RUISENOR & ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writers What is female beauty? By society's standards, beauty might be considered as a white skinned, blonde-haired, blue eyed, smallwaisted (and by small this means a size 2) and somewhat petty bombshell. In reality, the woman we just described is a waif. She's frail, she's dependent, her body is unrealistic and unhealthy. In terms of her personality, she's as exciting as a dial-tone. With this standard set, where do the rest of us fall? Are we not to be considered beautiful? What about mahogany-skinned, dark-haired, brown-eyed, amplefigured, intellectual bombshells from the rural south, the inner city, the upper echelons, and the underclass? These women do exist, and many of them are reading this now. All women everywhere should realize how truly beautiful they are. The flesh of a person is sacred and individualized through past generations. According to the Dove Self Esteem Study "92 % of young women (ages 15-17) experience negative body image and want to change." This obsession with the flesh comes with a heavy toll. The difference between healthy and idealized is large. According to inch-aweigh.com the average American woman is 5'4" and 140 lbs. In tills same study the average American model is five 5'11 and 117 lbs. There is a large discrepancy between the average, and what the industry calls for. For all the women who do not fit into this category such as comedian Mo'Nique Imes, embracing your flesh is imperative. As Oil of Olay advertises "Love the skin you're in," it is beautiful. Intellectualism is also an asset that society tends to do away with in its regard for females. The thoughts of women should no longer be threatening, but accepted as beautiful. Women like Maya Angelou represent a beauty that transcends the flesh and its fleeting youth. Through her writing she breathes life into the minds and spirits of women around the world. The artist Alecia Moore, otherwise known as Pink, also presents positive messages through her lyrical works that are sending messages to women. These messages reinforce the idea that you do not have be another body, but a mind as well, capable of making decisions for yourself. Through the mind is also you, the reader, who might identify as a woman who has made the step forward in your education process challenging your system of beliefs and getting the grade on your own accord. Your mind is beautiful. Identity is beautiful.

This is not to say that nostalgia helps us forget, and goodness knows it rarely helps us plan, but the Dresden Dolls do say, on the stickers that say nothing else as they wrinkle on the hands and ends of their dressed up fans: PUNK CABARET IS FREEDOM Looking at this bit of promotion at the Mira Mesa Epicenter's snack-bar/merch-table, I became torn between my disdain for most of the things associated with the term 'punk' and my disappointment that the slogan didn't give some direction to the ears of all the eyes it caught. Such a double negative should have made it easier to move on, but I ended up staring at it even longer each time the other members of my party sent me back for more souvenirs ... so that they wouldn't lose their place at the guard rail. This whole business of the self-conscious music consumer fits the Dresden Dolls experience perfectly. It should be called revolution, but it's more.

Jacey has been compared BY KATIE ROWE Pride Staff Writer to artists like Alanis Morissette, Joss Stone, Sarah McLaughlin and Jewel and influenced by Shawn Colvin, Matchbox Twenty and Tracy Chapman. Social and world issues, as well as her personal relationships and experiences, inspire her music. For her "Pretty much anything can be inspirational." Jacey always ends a set with a song that means the most lyrically and musically to her, titled Trove Me Wrong.' "I Love that song. I want it to be my first hit single!" said Jacey. Her inspiration for the song was a crazy relationship she was but wasn't in. Jacey said, "When I wrote this song I was at my patience's end, hoping he would prove me wrong by all the wrong he had done to me. Turns out I was wrong, but got a bad ass song out of it!" Jacey is completely dedicated to her career of singing, songwriting, and improving her guitar skills. She has played at venues such as The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, Brick Brick and Canes in San Diego.

Ms ballerinas, Amanda pounded her keys into dust while her sided-swiping and soaring voice tossed heart shaped bobbles into clouds. A fter the wide-eyed revelers made their way home (most under the general consensus that they'd been given more blood through the performance than ever could be leached from an autograph mob) and before I had their new album in my hand, I could tell you with absolute certainty that The Dresden Dolls will blow your mind, kick your ass, and break your heart with hardly more than an electric piano and a drum kit between them. The new album builds on everything that was great about the first, with that musical and vocal passion carried by genuine lyrical wit through every chide and confession. Moving seamlessly from the unpredictable avant-garde to classic nursery rhyme and power-ballad standards, they stir every aloof and abandoned preconception. On the song, "Mrs. O," whose lyrics give us the new album's title "Yes, Virginia," we get a journey through the nature and implications of truth aMHbelief ... or another clever bit of word play. It's my personal favorite thus far, and the Dresden Dolls have renewed my faith in this new century's capacity. Naturally, this sets both fellow listeners and the band itself up for disappointment, which is all the more reason to give them a chance, or even a second one (it took a third for me) to show the world how worthwhile a genuinely unusual thing can be, and how much we both deserve a f uture that doesn't leave us running in place, or improving a memory.

In turn, the 1990s saw a rise in simulation, first-person, and multi-player network type game genres. Some popular PC games of the decade include Oregon Trail-released by MECC in 1992, SimCity-first introduced by Maxis in 1989, hitting the market in 1990, and DOOMreleased by ID software in 1993. 2. Add heaping spoonfuls of music. The decade was also a time for many contributions, turning points, and unfortunate losses in the area of music. Icons such as Pearl Jam, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, and Nirvana offered up something new for rock consumers to bang their heads to. Meanwhile, rap superstar acts like Tupac Shakur, Naughty By Nature, Salt N ' Pepa, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G were theflamesof rap's persistent wildfire. Music moved in waves over the course of the decade. It started with a grunge feel of Sound Garden and somewhere along the way stopped off at an alternative sound reflected through bands like Garbage and Hole. Music 3. Overdose on popular television shows Television of the 1990s catered to audiences of all ages in new ways than previously done. Aside from the primetime television mixture of Seinfeld, The XFiles, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends, and Ally McBeal, the airwaves also housed programming of the more cynical nature to satisfy the tastes of a more adult crowd—in cartoon forms. Shows such as the Simpsons, The Critic, and South Park embraced the political contexts and satirical j nature that adult audiences everywhere were starving w for. As a fortunate byproduct to cartoons laced with adult humor was the ever-popular trend of Anime. It was during the 1990s that the like-ability f \ of shows like Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, and the Dragonball series resonated with audiences. While adults were taking in Family Guy, younger | | ¡ ¡ audiences were viewing shows like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rugrats, and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. 4. Shake well and garnish with memorable events and trends Encompassed within the decade of the 90s are a host of milestones that continue to influence the culture of today. Headlines explained of Bradley NowelPs heroin overdose, Left-Eye's arsenal, the death of Princess Diana, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the tragic shootings at Columbine High School. Teenagers sported artistry on the smalls of their backs, chests, and biceps as well as an array of body piercings hung from various orifices and lobes as symbols of rebellion. Michael Jackson rose in popularity only to fall victim to charges on his integrity. Meanwhile, his sister Janet came out of the era looking younger somehow. The decade was a constant reminder that yes, the 80s were over and the end of the world was near. Once compiled, place all ingredients in a large pot, douse with experiences and bring to a simmer. In approximately 30 minutes of cooking time, and consequential retrospect, the aroma of your final product should reek of Teen Spirit and White House scandals of the sexual nature.

Why are we flinging ourselves into lava pits? Well, it's not a leap; it's a fall down a tunnel. What other options do we have as we exit high school? We are conditioned from our youth to believe in the importance of going to college. But, now that I'm weeks from graduation, I have but one question: Now what? In his 2011 State oLthe Union Address, President Obama remarked that nearly half of the new jobs in the next 10 years will require a college degree (Whitehouse.gov). And we've all been told before that the best thing to do in an economic recession is to attend school so that when the economy "bounces back" we'll get some magical high- Photo courtesy of Melanie Slocum ¿ ( e J J o s i J (ejzAn£jct ¿/i C o l l i A e FAREWELL ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-rfllEF S A N D R A C HALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As I take my last walks up and down the cliffs of stairs that compose most of this campus, I think back 'on all the things that as a freshman I wish I knew and the most important lessons that my education has armed me with. So to benefit the student population I will be leaving behind as I graduate this May, I offer some honest truths about college life. Professors want to hear more than your stomach growling in class: Professors want students to ask questions in class, I learned in my Communication 200 course, debate and persuasion , the essential step in thinking critically is to ask questions, and if there are no questions being asked in class then critical thinking could quite possibly be absent. Professors aim to fuel your understanding, your thought process on the material and if the content is too difficult to follow, tuning out and thinking about a Mr. Taco breakfast burrito will not help you engage in the material, I know, its hard, but reading the material prior to class helps reinforce your true understanding. Getting questions answered as the class progresses keeps you from getting stuck at midterm, review with 25 topics you can't find on Wikipedia. If you're going to buy the text. book, make sure to read it: We all know the familiar heart- break of paying $136 for a textbook that was never opened and then got denied buy back. That slap in the face happens all to often, so invest ig your investments, make your textbooks your best friends, after all we know they have the right answers in them to guarantee you a perfect grade. n ^ ¿ ï T o r ' What's even worse is that nobody cares; at least, not enough do. Why aren't more students angered by this? The economy is something we have little control over, but our voices are something we do. While there have been significant efforts to raise awareness and protest tuition increases on this campus, the amount of student turnout at these events is negligible, and embarrassing. This issue affects all of us students, yet nobody can seem to envision anything beyond final exams. Wake up CSUSM. As I leave this university, I've been slapped in the face with a bleak reality beyond the Utopia of undergraduate education. Know that doom's day is coming, and know that as students, you can change this, and should. Of all environments to speak your mind in, college is probably the most accommodating you will experience. Speak up for your education, speak up for yourself. Take advantage of your own voice, stop expecting others to do it for you, and know that if you don't, your investment into a lie will s a & v ) e j i " Time w ell s p e n t " i s a r elative t erm 1 I j 1 I I | 1 Cell phone in class, means l sing your ringtone in class: I will never forget the time I sang the chorus for the song "Tipsy" by J-Kwon in front of my sociology class after my phone rang. The rules of the land were, "phone rings, then you must sing." My unfortunate taste in ringtone denied me the chance slip by humming a simple tune, but my impromptu performance branded me to never allow phone interruptions during any class again, or you may never know what embarrassing consequences there maybe. If you're on time, you're already late: My favorite class, at the early hour of 10 a.m, became a phenomenon for my time keeping abilities. Arriving right at 10 a.m meant a lengthy search for a chair or possibly sitting at the uneven desk in the corner that squawked with every movement of a pencil . My professor seemed to understand this phenomenon and would stop at mid sentence to cheerfully invite me to class with a "Oh hi there, great that you made it." Her genuine invitation felt like daggers to my embarrassment, a perfect cure to understanding that being on time is already too late. paying job. But what about us in-betweeners? What are we supposed to do for the next 9 years? I 'd like to enjoy my 20s, not eat ramen noodles until I'm over 30. Not only do more than 11 percent of college students graduate unemployed, but they do so with excessive debt. Our parents and teachers indoctrinated us to believe that getting a Bachelor's degree is an investment in our future, so 53 percent of full-time students take out loans (National Center for Education Statistics). But what happens when that future holds no promise? We have invested into a lie. Not only do unemployed-tobe students already graduate with massive debt, but state governments are making it increasingly more difficult for students to afford a public education. In 2011 alone, the cost of tuition for a CSU undergraduate rose an additional 10 percent (calstate. edu), making the amount of debt students graduate with even higher, while creating an inverse relationship with the success in finding a job after we graduate. forget what I should care more about.

With summer coming up, I am going to want to see them since we are all go. ing back home. I feel like my boyfriend and I have all these plans for summer— we hope to enjoy time together without the stress of school. I don't know how to tell him that I want to make sure I have time for my friends. Help? Friends are an extremely important factor in any romantic relationship. Aside from sharing a friendship between the two of you, you both need to maintain relationships with your mutual and separate friends. These friendship ties can he difficult to keep while attending separate colleges during the school year; summer is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the people who have known you for years. If you are worried that your boyfriend's plans will encroach on your time with your friends, all you can do is talk to him about this matter. Let him know that you want to enjoy time with him, but you also need time for your friends. Friends are the support you can cling to when your love life is rocky; don't abandon them! A couple should not monopolize one another—if he has trouble understanding this concept, maybe he is not worth your time. I am studying abroad this summer. How can I make friends with and/or date foreign students? Studying in a different country is a great educational opportunity—new cultures, landscapes, languages, and people can greatly enhance your overall life experience. If you are looking to connect with others while studying abroad, be cautious. Use street smarts and be wary of those who could potentially take advantage of your money, your information, or your heart. I would advise keeping relationships on the lighter side—falling headover-heels for someone while studying in a foreign country can have a heavy effect on your educational plans as well as your emotions. If you are looking for romance, look for it in the history and art of the culture. Chances are, you will discover likeminded people who you can connect with as you explore the country. Use email or social networking to stay in touch upon return—you individual experience will determine to what extent you continue any friendships or relationships. Be smart, be yourself, and enjoy your time abroad.

Broadcasting live from campus, CSUSM College Radio is gaining a reputation as one of the leading media and entertainment sources for CSUSM students. The organization was recently recognized as the Best New Student Org for 2011 at the Tukwut Leadership awards night. CSUSM College Radio began in Spring 2010 as a student project in Dr. Youwen Ouyang's software engineering class. Rosario Vizcaino was the mastermind behind this idea, founding the radio program in spite of the obstacles involved in taking on such a large project. "I had proposed the idea of starting a web-based radio since there was no radio on campus. My classmates thought the project was very difficult to do, so they opted for another project and the group dropped the idea. I then proceeded on my own and within about two weeks the radio was created," Vizcaino stated. In a year's time, CSUSM Col- RADI ° V O T E D BEST N E W lege Radio has evolved from inPoHin •; £ spiration to reality. In 2010, Student Life and Leadership formally recognized the radio program as a student organization. The Student Media Advisory Council (SMAC) now recognizes the program as an official student media outlet. CSUSM College Radio is a web based radio station that is run "by students for the students" according to its website, www. csusm.info. Students can tune in to several different shows, view a schedule of show content and air times, and contact the radio program via chat or messages. The station features a variety of music to suit any taste, so there is something for every CSUSM student. Campus news and events are also broadcast through the CSUSM radio ether; the program often makes an appearance at various CSUSM happenings to give entertainment and live coverage. Because of its primary focus on student interests, CSUSM College Radio strives to show appreciation for its audience. "Currently, we support all campus orgs through live performances and by advertising their events on the web based radio page as well as Facebook. We also host radio shows where any interested student can participate. We promote STUDENT ORG 2011 diversity and encourage campus involvement," Vizcaino said. A positive, fast-paced future is in store for CSUSM College Radio. Vizcaino assured students and faculty that "interest for the radio program is growing very rapidly. I hope that soon we can have our own official studio. Currently we use the services provided by the library such as the music studios to broadcast live on our page. We are currently in the development of creating a training to show students how to DJ. We find there to be a demand for DJ's and we certainly would encourage those who have a passion for music to participate, we'll train you and guide you. Currently, we have a radio class taught by Joan Anderson. The class covers broadcast and journalism for radio, print, and web. It's a very good class for those interested in radio broadcasting. This class helps us with our different shows, as we have to write scripts and agenda's that prepare us for our live shows." All are welcome to join CSUSM College Radio meetings every Monday from 1 - 2 p.m. University Hall 458.

CougarApps allows all students and faculty to download software available on campus computers from the comfort of their homes. Through CougarApps, users can gain access to programs such as SPSS, Maple, MatLab, Crystal Ball, MiniTab, NVIVO, and Adobe CS5. This service is available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Droid and any device with an Internet browser. To access CougarApps, students and faculty can use their Internet browsers to access https:// cougarapps.csusm.edu. From there, users log in with their CSUSM user-name and password to download a browser plug-in. Once the plug-in is installed, students can utilize any of the programs available from the list to continue the work they started at school. Many of the programs offered are used in the labs on campus, so any projects students begin using school computers can continue from anywhere a student has Internet access. In the fall, all instructor stations and lab computers will come equipped with CougarApps. Unfortunately, not all campus programs are available on CougarApps. Software licensing issues prevent CSUSM to make every campus program available for home use. CougarApps will be available for free to all students and faculty next semester.

Over the course of the competition, we recycled an average of 20 pounds of paper, 15 pounds of cardboard, and surprisingly only 13 pounds of bottles and cans per person. Questions arose regarding whether or not CSUSM may have had a slight advantage over the other colleges that participated. Do we use more paper, so we recycle it more? With there being over 20 vending machines, a cafeteria and a market, do we sell and then recycle more plastic bottles and cans? An unproven rumor has been floating around campus implying the main reason why we win each year is that our campus janitorial staff is specifically trained to separate the recyclable materials out from the trash. According the rules of RecycleMania, "The competition's goal is to increase student awareness and involvement in campus recycling through collaboration and partnership with participating schools," and says nothing about the legality of janitorial help within the competition. If the main goal of the competition is get student to participate in recycling and we are having the hard-working janitorial staff do most of the work for us, then what are we the students really learning about recycling?

Though finding internships relevant to your job field may seem impossible, many opportunities actually exist closer than students may think. Our campus features a variety of internship opportunities available to students in many disciplines all geared to provide valued work experience. Specialized internships available on campus include disciplines such as health education, multimedia, Sociology, and Kinesiology, just to name a few. Using our university resources makes finding and applying for these internships a simple hasslefreeprocess. Some internships are unpaid, while others may offer course credit. The most rewarding element of internships is the priceless in-action experience. The H.O.P.E (Health, Outreach, Promotion, Education) and Wellness Center in connection with Student Health and Counseling Services offer an internship opportunity composed of students working to educate peers by leading group discussions, marketing campus awareness events and aiding in the planning and facilitating health workshops. This internship requires about six to eight hours of work per week. Those interested in this internship opportunity can contact Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's Health Educator, at cnguyen@csusm.edu. Those with experience in website development, multimedia and HTML can apply for an internship to maintain a website for Kamp Katrina. Kamp Katrina is a camp that provides shelter to city street musicians in New Orleans and is in need of an intern that can assist in updating the website regularly. Those interested can also receive internship units for Visual and Performing Arts or Literature and Writing Studies. Interested applicants can contact lead supervisor for the project, Dr. Dawn Formo, Associate Dean for Instruction and Academic Programs, at dformo@csusm.edu. Internships available exclusively to Kinesiology majors at the Clarke Field House present opportunity for work in personal training, ASI recreation and in athletic training. Research opportunities within Kinesiology offer a wide range of concentration topics and can also receive internship units within the major. For more details and contact information, visit www.csusm. e du/kinesiology/interships. Sociology internships present a unique chance to "shadow" an expert in the field of your choice at a local agency; students may present their suggestions for expert and agency prior to registering for internship credit and must seek department approval. This internship opportunity ranks high among Sociology and Criminal Justice majors as it is a required capstone course need for graduation.

THE PRIDE PAR FOR THE COURSES EXPERIENCE SAN DIEGO GOLFING O WEN HEMSATH PRIDE STAFF W RITER The golf course may not be the first place a college student turns to for hot summer fun, but an afternoon at the green could turn out to be the best decision you make this summer. Filled with fresh grass, clear water ponds, ducks and funny shoes, golf courses in San Marcos offer a great and relaxing way to enjoy the summer sun without exhausting your wallet or your patience. Golf courses typically offer beverage services with products ranging from a classic Coke to bitter brews, and carry all the excitement and fun associated with an afternoon around friends minus the crowds and the costs. Golfing also provides its participants with a variety of sporting options, and courses in the North County area typically offer accommodations for beginners. For example, while 18 holes may be a bit much for newbie (as this may take three to four hours of play time), playing.the front or "back 9" holes could be an awesome way to spend some time with goodfriendsin good conversation and practice that swing you've been meaning to improve. No clubs — no worries. Golf courses offer rental clubs for daily use or individual clubs for purchase in case you'd like to build up your set, and most courses offer drink services along the way. Tee times can range from $20 to $40 depending on your course and cart. If a round is not your thing, try the putting greens. Like a mini-golf course without the 2-year olds (or the windmillshey, you can't have it all) the putting greens allow a slower pace for practicing putts while still providing the same sunlight and bar service you have come to expect from a golf course. While the greens only require a putter and don't cost a thing, it's wise to respect the tranquil environment known of sport while in this arena. If chatter and laughs are more your game the perhaps the driving range could be your thing. The driving range is a place where you can release the stress of finals without any concern for property. Golf courses provide hundreds of square yards of grass (and sometimes water) where you can whack those golf balls as hard as you want. There are even times when a man drives through the field in a protected vehicle to collect the various golf balls — pretend he's a teacher or an unruly student or that seriously tough exam and do your worst. The driving range is a great place to release some energy, practice your swing, and chat with some friends. Plus, it's not to far from the drink service and a small bucket of balls can cost anywhere from $4 to $6. So don't knock it before you try it. Golfing could be the unlikely hero of your next outing with friends. Try something new, and get out to the greens this summer. If you don't have the balls, you can buy some there. Four players earn A ll honors Sandberg pitcher, Williams Coach of Year Softball pitcher Brenna Sandberg has been named the Association of Independent Institutions Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season, and this year three Cougars join her on the All-Conference Team.

While the CSUSM baseball team rose to unprecedented heights on Saturday, the Softball team, without warning, suddenly fell to earth. The baseball team reigns as A.I.I. (American Independent Institutions) champion. The Softball team is champion of the couch. Last week, the Softball team soared to #2 in the national rankings, with a 39-7 record. The baseball team, meanwhile, won nine of their last 10, which still left them#at 32-17, and out of the top 25 altogether. Baseball received 4 points in the May 3 poll. Softball got 648. Last week, the A.I.I. named Brenna Sandberg pitcher of the year, and named Dave Williams coach of the year. The baseball team was still named the Cougars. Last month, baseball entered April looking pedestrian, with a record of 18-12. The softball team entered April looking like Godzilla eating pedestrians, with a record of 29-5. Last year, baseball feebly bowed out of the All. championship, losing both of their games. Softball, led by perfect pitching from Brenna Sandberg, swept their side of the A.I.I. championship. Then they won a few games in the national championship tournament for good measure. But last week, the baseball team boarded a plane bound for Thomasville, GA, ready to take their place as the #1 seed in the conference tournament, cool and full of confidence. The softball team traveled only in a procession of cars, down Highway 78 to the CarlsbadMarriottoacceptawards. In fairness, the other softball squads traveled long distances to get to San Marcos. Most were as tough as hour-old ballgame gum, and they were ready. As usual, hardly anyone touched Sandberg, who allowed 4 runs in 3 games. But the pitching dominance of the opposition — for once — would be the Cougars's downfall, as the powerful San Marcos lineup managed only 1 run in both of their shocking losses to Simon Fraser and Houston-Victoria. Back in Georgia, pitchers might have well been replaced with pitching machines. The big bats of Johnny Omahen and Austin Coleman led the Cougars to 10, 21, and 10 runs in their three victories, but they never looked like sure winners. Yet victorious they were, escaping in a week- end firelight reminiscent of that last scene in Scarface, entering an unfamiliar field and gunning down Thomas University and Houston-Victoria (twice) to automatically advance to the NAIA national championships. Softball, meanwhile, was Tony Montana, powerful and prominent, landing shots and scoring a victory, but ultimately getting gunned down in thenown home. How could this happen? A t. the CSUSM baseball field on Saturday, there were no celebrations, no interviews, no answered questions. The hosts had left the premises. The championship field will be announced this week, but the golden girls must sit at home in suspense and wait for a phone call from the NAIA, wondering if the committee will choose them as , a at-large bid for the national tournament in Alabama. Any team ranked #2 nationally just a week before the decision should expect to be selected. But there are only 4 spots to fill. With this collapse, who knows? CSUSM baseball players will wake up this week and worry about the finals they must study for and the papers they will research and write, trying to maintain their focus in the midst of their excitement. Softball players will try to overcome the anxiety of the unknown, hoping to get one last shot. If their fortunes turn better than Tony Montana's, and they are given new life, expect nothing less than a championship effort. This was an accident. Coach Williams's team can beat anyone, and given another chance, it just might beat them all.

Booths are set up on the tour's grounds where attendees tors could even meet up with the bands after their sets).

"Thor" and "Fast Five" are already tearing up the box office, but The Pride provides a guide to the many other soon-to-be blockbusters that everybody's looking forward to this summer. "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (May 20) The fourth film in the incredibly lucrative "Pirates" franchise doesn't star Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightley or any of the million subplots that plague the last two films, but it does see Johnny Depp's long-awaited return as good old Captain Jack. Even better, the beautiful Penelope Cruz joins Jack on his search for the fountain of youth, and the return of his frequently-lost ship, the Black Pearl. "The Hangover Part II" f (May 26) While it may seem hard to Fun Facts- " Autobots, roll O ptimus Prime voicecFb; top the comedic genius of the first film, "the wolfpack" is back for more, this time on a journey to find the younger brother of Stu's (Ed Helms) fiancée, who they lose in the middle of Bangkok after yet another night of drug-induced madness. A monkey, a Mike-Tyson face tattoo and a rumored celebrity cameo all factor into the mystery. "Green Lantern'' (June 17) "Green Lantern" has been hotly anticipated by comic geeks the world over, partially because the titular hero is the first DCcomics character beside Superman and Batman to get his own film. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a playboy test pilot who becomes a superhero when he is given a powerful ring by an extraterrestrial and must use his newfound powers to protect Earth from the forces of evil. "Cars 2" (June 24) The first direct Pixar sequel since the Toy Story movies, "Cars 2 " sees Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) on a cros^-qpuntîy, toyp* to |he prestigious World Grand Prix, while his best pal Mater (Larry, the Cable Guy) gets caught up in a world of espionage and intrigue when he is recruited as a spy. "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1) While a worldwide success, the second "Transformers" film wasn't incredibly popular with critics, or Megan Fox for that matter, who left the production's third installment. However, the trailer promises some epic action that few will be able to resist, as the Autobots race to reach an important artifact on the moon before the evil Decepticons do. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" (July 15) To call the eighth Harry Potter film the most anticipated film of the summer would be an understatement, the most anticipated film of the past decade would be a more reasonable label. The final installment of the most successful film franchise, in history, picks up where the last film left off and promises to tie up all the loose ends, with lots of typically great performances and nonstop 4ctiony,ail in glojjous 3D. �C OUGAR G AMES 1 4 73 6 5 9 7 289 42 1 7 4 38 6 7 1 9 6 5 35 2 9 293 8 6 S UDOKU 5 3 I i AND CROSSWORD Is N p DPR AL 1 1U V |S B N sEE 0A0 McR H1 WsA uNp DME NRH 0UT SNU S A A 0 A R B p U S R L N 0 D p N S 1 C S U U R L A S M T 0 A s s E A R H L R X U P S M 0 F c c A T E 1 U 1 N F K N L R L 1 S W 1 M 1 N G T R U N K S 1 P U R 0 M G L G A V S P S S P 0 N R N U A S P 0 L F P 1 L F R S U N S C R E E N 0 S U 0 L T E A S B E N 0 A P U E R 0 0 0 T E S T U N 0 C 0 C M R p p H S R A D A L 0 C A N 1 P S H Mj T W B 1 K 1 N 1 E U 1 C H U S ummer Sun S ets B each f lip f lop Sun S creen Sun G lasses SPF F lip F lops T ropics R elaxing O utdoors V acation ""f ! i** * T he F air P ools H ot W ater P arks T an S un B urn Ice C ream S plash S and A loe C oconuts S wiming T runks B ikini P ina C olada 1 - �18 MAY 10TH, 2011 T HE PRIDE A&E "OFFCENTRE" DANCERS OWN THE STAGE C OMMUNITY, G LOBAL T HEMES R EPRESENT T HE T ENTH A N N U A L D A N C E C ONCERT N ANCY, R OSSIGNOL P RIDE STAFF W RITER to a medley of Western, Hawaiian and Latino music followed in "Jump!

T he. student-run stage production featured 11 works created by dance students and faculty. Participants chose their own genre, theme, costumes and music using elements and techniques learned in Choreography, „ Contemporary Technique, Global Modern Dance and Theatre Production and Design classes. Genres included a mix of ballet, jazz, street, hip-hop and global modern daiice, beginning with an emotive, contemporary piece called "Jar of Hearts." Dancers performed to the disjointed rhythms of Beats Antique in "UNO," a street dance with an urban flare. An energetic performance matic portrayal of a modern love triangle in "Bitter Sweet." Two impeccably timed, lively dances picked up the pace just before intermission in "Le Jazz Hot" and "Creature of the Night," a sexy burlesque combination of works to music by Cher, Queen Latifah, Marilyn Monroe and Christina Aguilera. The mood turned somber after inter mission in "The Red C," a work dedicated to thousands of dolphins slaughtered in Taiji, Japan, by a group of six choreographers and dancers. With a video running in the background from the 2009 docu- mentary "The Cove," dancers moved fluidly about the stage like a community of dolphins ending in agonizing death. In "Tribute to Tagore," Dance 320 students performed pieces to a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Born in Calcut- ta, India, Tagore was the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 as a poet, novelist, playwright and visual artist. Tagore challenged traditional Indian dances, according to the "OffCentre" program, by focusing on "naturalistic expression of human emotional experience." In the first dance recognizing a collection of ppems by Tagore, dancers moved around the stage with tea lights in their hands, forming two symmetrical circles center stage, then merging together in a spectacular natural light show. A t raditional Indian harvest dance followed, inspired by Bengali folk music r epresenting seasons ; and village life, including traditional hand movements such as the "bird" and the "locust," dancer Chanel Bradley said. Two groups choreographed and _ performed beautifully in "Reflection" and "Trouble is a Friend" to music by Lenka. An ensemble of five energetic hip hop numbers with music by Rihanna, Sucka Free CJ, Ke$ha, Usher, and Pink completed the evening in the crowd-pleasing finale "World War You." �A&E THE PRIDE !?8®S®§B sat ® M 1 u M U2 MAY 10TH, 2011 • N EWS E DITOR When: Saturday, June 18 Where: Angel Stadium of Anaheim Time- 7 p.m. Etc: This Irish rock band, originally from Dublin, launches the -360" tour as a support of the highly successfully album "No Line on the Horizon."

One pivotal college experience is quite simple, not that expensive, and can (potentially) reveal a lot about you and the personalities of those you travel with: road trip. My limited knowledge of long-term travel has led me to one conclusive thought: road trips are made or broken by the music that accompanies them. You might get stuck with the annoying guy who hogs the chips or the relative who snores, but strategically placed tunes tend to fix most anything within the square footage of a sedan. Some songs beg for the road. I don't know what it is about me and Cameron Crowe films, but "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John as utilized in "Almost Famous" is practically anthemic in the context of a highway. Another Crowe movie, "Elizabethtown," with its indulgent use of the mix tape, uses John's "My Father's Gun" as another powerful tune with a resonating chorus. For some reason, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are the best representation of '70s music I can come up with. Along with Jackson Browne and James Taylor, road trip playlists will have that special bit of nostalgia combined with just damn good lyrics. Key tracks: "Helpless," "Sky Blue and Black," "Running on Empty" and "Fire and Rain " With every classic, there must be something modern for balance. Kings of Convenience, an electro-folk pop band, bring that special mix of composition and jive to playlists with songs like "I'd Rather Dance with You" and "Know How " Icelandic artist Bjork has a track called "All is Full of Love" that has as much electrónica as it does emotion. As for a playlist's requisite rock, Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" is a must. [For the best vibe, use the live version off "How the West Was Won." All the imperfections make it sound fresh.] Although incomparable, The Black Keys have some purely rocking songs that are easy to listen to and almost pop-driven. Some of the band's road-ready tracks include "Do the Rump," "Everlasting Light" and "Thickfreakness." A few tunes for good measure: "Dress Looks Nice on You" by Sufjan Stevens, "All I Need" by Radiohead, "Ragged Wood" by Fleet Foxes, "Gray Stables" by Iron & Wine, "Natural Anthem" by the Postal Service, "Saturday Sun" by Nick Drake, "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and "Hold Music" by Architecture in Helsinki. Of course, these are just my personal playlist standbys. Humor me. Although I know (and you can surely tell) that I haven't included all that I want to, there's one song I just couldn't feel right about leaving off a road trip playlist: "America" by Simon and Garfunkel. The lyrics portray the innocence of youth in an epic way, I'd recommend beginning the road trip with this track. I guarantee it will make you feel free. Good playlists have variety and feeling. They must be tailored to fit individual tastes but familiar enough to have the right energy. Enjoy the trip and absorb the music. No matter - how many miles you travel, it will go quicker than you think. �oto Courtesey of: Wikipedia II Paramount Pictures A NOTHER M M : SERIES HITS T HE B IG SCREEN " THOR" S UREfb BE T HUNDEROUS IN THE BOX OFFICE M ORGAN HALE^ip?

MARCH 11. 200.1 Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The results of the 2002 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) have been released and Cal State San Marcos has received high marks from students for the third year in a row. The survey compares the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to those in master's level institutions across the country, as well as other schools in the CSU system. The NSSE survey has been conducted every spring since 2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend on such activities as writing and group work. College staff is not involved with the survey. The Center for Survey Research at Indiana University compiles the questions and randomly selects which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San Marcos students were chosen to take part in the survey, which was distributed to around 80,500 students nationally. More than half of polled students even tually returned a complete* survey, a better response rat< than average.

The CFA is also worried about the proposed cuts in student service funding, which will reduce the extent of cultural, social and developmental programs that are accessible to CSU students. The CFA has declared that "Unfortunately, CSU administrators view the Governor's proposal as a 'best case scenario' and many policy makers believe the CSU's exposure to additional cuts is significant." As avowed in the conference, the Chancellor considers himself to be an optimist. Accordingly, he went into depth about some of the strong points within the CSU system.

Cal State University San Marcos does not have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar to the spring commencement. The fall 2003 graduates will be included with the spring 2004 graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement committee decides upon. Fall 2003 graduates will be given a small reception in their honor at the end of the fall semester in December 2003. The commencement ceremony is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony like high school and university graduations. The graduates wear robes, walk up to the stage in front of friends, family, and all other graduates in order to receive their diplomas for the completion of their degrees. The Fall Recognition Recep- tion, which will be held in the fall graduates' honor after the fall semester, consists of a small reception with refreshments, speeches from members of the administration, and takes place in a casual atmosphere. The graduates' names are not read, they do not wear a robe, and they do not receive their diplomas up on stage. In years past, President Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the ASI President have spoken at the reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus. Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall? "At this time, no," According to the vice president of student affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez, "The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive. Additionally, extensive research in the CSU has shown that there are no campuses that hold a fall commencement ceremony. In response to student requests we instituted a Fall Recognition Reception in Fall 01, continued in Fall 02 and are already making plans for Fall 03."

And third, f rom p age 1 CSUSM Survey writing requirement is much more stringent here than at other schools, particularly in composition of short and medium length papers. The learning of a second language is not a requirement at many schools, and graduating seniors are much more likely to learn a second language before they graduate. Students at San Marcos report a slightly larger emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than at other master's level schools, particularly at the freshmen level. Seniors at San Marcos are slightly less likely to learn through repetition of memorized material than other CSU students, though nationwide and at the freshman level there is an equal emphasis on memorization. Editorial Staff Lead Editor Lead Editor News Editor Feature Editor Arts Editor Opimo» Editor Spanish Editor Sports Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Martinez estimated costs involved to hold a commencement ceremony at approximately $38,000.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held on campus at Forum Plaza, but because of construction projects in that area of campus, the ceremony was moved to the Del Mar Fairgrounds where it was held last year, and where it will be held again this spring. What can students do to voice their opinion on this topic? "Over the next few months elected ASI representatives will be going to students and asking for comments/thoughts on these opinions; students should take the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum Plaza and an information session where students can also share their thoughts," said Martinez. Students are also advised to direct any questions they may have to either Dr. Martinez's office in Craven Hall 5306 or Carmen Villa's office in Craven Hall 5111. that the CSU has been nationally For additional information Lyons, CFA Research Specialist recognized with the Litton Award or copies of the CFA Research at alyons@calfac.org. in Sonoma and San Bernardino Brief #1 (Teaching Associates) for faculty service and outreach. and CFA Research Brief #2 (Student Fees), contact Andrew from page 1 CSUSM students are also significantly more likely to use the Internet as part of class work, as well as to communicate with other students and faculty via e-mail. They are more likely to make presentations and work in groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they are more likely to ask questions in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they are happy with their education and would enroll in this school again. More CSUSM students reported that their class work makes them better writers and more technologically capable than did students at other schools. San Marcos students are also happier with their faculty than other CSU students, though nationally the response to faculty is similar. Alyssa Fi n kelstei n Martha Sarabia Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Jason Padilla Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall said to be similar to the fall of 2002 numbers, but data is still being gathered. The deadline for spring 2004 graduation is in late September, so the figures for spring 2004 commencement will not be available until sometime after the deadline. Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools in this regard, but much more so than national schools, especially among freshmen. Also, students at San Marcos are less likely to work in internships or apply what they learn in school to their current jobs, and less likely to interact with faculty outside of class. San Marcos students, seniors especially, reported that there is little support on campus for non-academic needs, such as family or social issues. The commuter nature of the campus is another distinctive feature of CSUSM, a trait shared with all CSU schools.

Thefinalscore for the team was 866 (291-282-293). Sophomore Ryan Axlund said, "The team is starting to show its potential and I am excited about the way we are playing." The two-day tournament was held at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Course in Bonsall. Seventeen men's teams competed in the event, as did six women's teams. The men's course covered 6,750 yards, with a par of 72.

Cal State Stanislaus came in third with 873. Tying at fourth, with overall scores of 882, were Grand Canyon University and Southern Nazarene University. Commenting on San Marcos' first place position, Axlund said, "As soon as we start getting too comfortable with where we are in the standings and stop putting forth the effort I know we can, the other schools out there will pass us." When asked if he felt that would happen, he replied "Not at all. We are all good players, and we will just keep playing." The men's next golf tournament will be on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at the Diablo Grande Golf Club. The team was brought to thefirststanding with junior Rob Keller leading, who finished sixth overall. Keller's final score was 216 (69-75-72).

The two-day tournament started Mar. 3 and hosted six women's golf teams, as well seventeen teams for the men's golf tournament. The course was 6, 365 and par 72. Closing out the Classic tourney on Mar. 4 after two rounds of the course was the Southern Nazarene University of Bethany Oklahoma in first place with 654 (334-320).

University of British Columbia placed third with a score of 659 (336-323); Lewis-Clark State College of Lewiston, Idaho, placed fourth with 690 (349-341). One stroke behind them was University of Victoria, British Columbia finishing infifthwith a score of691 (351340). In sixth place was UC Santa Cruz closing with 817 (401-416). The course was packed with golfers, and it was a lot of stop-and-go from teeing off at one hole and waiting for the next to clear. Weather was on the compliable side for opening day, and the women's golf team gave a respectable performance by finishing in first. The second day weather conditions were not so forgiving because of the rain. Junior Erin Thys said, "the conditions were Golfers senior Robin Shaft and senior Jennifer Tbnzi swinging simultaneously for a practice round of golf last week.

By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos had the pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla Girls last Tuesday, and the sold out show began at 6 p.m. in the Arts building. Born in New York City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls started as a public educational campaign, fighting against the devaluation of women in art and science culture. Guerrilla Girls have produced over 100 humorous, sarcastic, in your face and, to some, offensive posters, stickers, books, printed objects, and billboards as their voice. Over the year they have been a part of events that have exposed sexism and racism in politics, the art world,film,and the culture at large. Monkeying Around The show opened with the infamous Guerrilla Girls coming down the aisles, adorned in true jungle drag fashion (mammoth size gorilla masks and black attire) and throwing bananas out to the audience. The Guerrilla Girls both agreed later on in the show that this is part of the fun, performing anonymously, taking on pseudonyms of dead women artists.

CATALAN Pride Staff Writer Learning and thinking about societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at CSUSM - cultural life, political life, and social life. The societal realization and coming of age of the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of what a woman is today. The events this year on campus will consist of various events that will be held on campus from Mar. 4 through Mar. 27. One of the scheduled events for Women's History Month at CSUSM is "The Feminism Is For Everybody Panel, which will be on Mar: 19, 2003,Sfid the host of the panel will ?? be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor of Women's Studies, along with guest lecturer, Professor Denise MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated, "This student panel is intended to answer the question, 'What is feminism?' by addressing critical issues ranging from feminism, welfare reform to feminism, and the Father's Right's debate. The objective is to both educate and empower young men and women by discussing contemporary issues of race and gender. It will address the importance of our role as women and men in today's society by introducing the audience to women's studies." Tuesday, March 11,2003 5 programming/publicity committee for the Women's Leadership Conference that was held on Mar. 7. Jennings commented, "Most of our students, who have grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, and know the women's rights movement as a part of history; they weren't there to experience it. But they, both men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment it has taken to empower women and move closer to equality."

One of the show's highlights was when a student from the crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's grand finale. He was to dress up as a woman, donning a skirt and pink ribbon tiara. Hamming it up for the crowd, Nimitz asked ARTS Another show highlight that received a round of applause was when junior communication major Honee Folk stood up to say she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She said she really appreciated the Guerrilla Girls for bringing that to her attention. Folk also said that there's a significant chance for the women at Cal State San Marcos to be underrepresented with the ASI Elections coming up. Though the ratio of women to men at San Marcos is 60 to 40, only three women are running in the elections, so there is great potential for the student government representatives to be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was running and just as Folk replied with a "yes!" the crowd broke out into applause, whistles and "Women's History Month is a time to celebrate women and their accomplishments. Women have always made a difference and significance in our society, along with men, but have never been acknowledged due to being a woman, in our male dominant society." Women from Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) will share their experiences, knowledge, and adversities from all lines of work. From women artists, authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community women from all over - will reveal their experiences of what being a woman in our society today has meant to themselves and to fellow Linda Pershing, director and women. professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated, A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops are entailed for this very, big event of Women's History Month at CSUSM. Women's suppression, subordination, achievements, and accomplishments of the past and present are going to finally be recognized. The contributions of women have been overlooked for so long from a historical point of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting for equality, genderism, racism, sexism, and not finding total equality, but equitability in our patriarchal society. shout outs. The show closed with questions from the audience. "How many Guerrilla's are there and does the group consist of many ethnicities?" asked a member of the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are many women of different ethnic groups, different sexual orientations. Another response from the Guerrilla Girls regarding their diversity was that "some of us want a piece of the pie, some of us want to blow up the whole system."

Klezmorim, the musicians who played klezmer music, were often traveling musicians.

Movie N ight - ASI San Marcos Edwards Movie T heater Cal State San Marcos Goldberg and Gunnar Biggs on double bass played a duet, "Tender Shepherd," which Goldberg dedicated to her daughter and the spirit of her father. The musicians faced each other and played as if they were having a conversation, one instrument speaking, then the other responding. The contrapuntal effect of the two lines of music moved the piece forward, and kept the audience involved. All the musicians were on stage for the two final pieces of klezmer music. The first was a traditional wedding piece, often played as an improvisation. Imara and Goldberg played the sax, each taking turns making their instruments cry and wail, perhaps mimicking the mother of the bride. The musicians laughed as they enjoyed the improv, and the audience began to clap in time to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or The Dance of the In-Laws, was thefinalpiece. This group of musicians clearly enjoyed playing together as much as the audience enjoyed listening to them. The hour passed too quickly, and then the audience was on its feet clapping and whistling in appreciation for an all-too-short evening of klezmer. �THE PRIDE Dear Editors, Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb. 18 article, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos. The faculty being liberal is a small problem. The big problem that I have is the fact that the Cal State system is liberal in general, and tends to tilt towards the left. Here is what I mean. 1) The majority of the Cal State Schools have done something I find to be unpatriotic, especially during this period in which the U.S is getting ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on President's day, or Columbus Day, to name just a few. Those holidays have been moved to December, a month during which school is out for three of the four weeks. Instead, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. . Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I find that an insult to our founding fathers. Lincoln and Washington are two importantfiguresin our history. To me it sounds like the liberals that made this decision are trying to be "Politically Correct," and not offend anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead White Guys'. People have often accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to show that the facts are there. 2) Inviting a leftist liberal like Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to speak at our school, with no balance of inviting someone on the other side of the political spectrum shows liberal bias. Where were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and Bernard Goldberg when they were doing their book tours? Not here. I can go on and on, but I am sure that we all get the point by now. Nash Summers Tang Junior, Business POIJTTCAT, VOTflF: Dear Editors: one side of the coin, they own, produce, and monopolize the coin In his March 4 letter Sean trade. Mattingly asks Amber De La Torre to "open your eyes and see that Mr. Mattingly then asserts that this so called "elite" capitalistic Amber should "have a little respect society where conservatives oppress for your country, its history, its everyone is only in your mind."

By refusing to believe the truth that he is presented with everyday by his "biased" professors, Sean takes it upon himself to fight the liberal oppressors here at this campus. It seems the intolerance conservatives preach has not run out, and that is sad. Mr. Mattingly pitifully follows the dictums of the white male conservative capitalist elite and is hardlyfitto be the president of ASI. Matthew Black Junior, History Dear Editors: As our nation faces war with Iraq, I notice many anti-war protests taking place throughout our nation. Although I do not like to see our country divided, I know it is our right to do so, and feel happy we have this right to exercise. My concern does not lie with those who oppose war; it lies with the support needed for our troops, for they are the ones who let us exercise this right and all others. Our troops are doing their job, whether they agree or disagree; they will continue to follow and carry out the orders of our commander-in-chief. My reason behind this letter is not to ask you to support or protest a war with Iraq, but to ask you to come together and support those who left their homes, friends, Dear Editors: and merits of both candidates, and security office, Mr. Ridge."

Amber De La Torre Junior, Sociology In response to Matthew Black: You're a good mouth piece for the "Blame -America-First- Club," but you take things way out of context, and have serious flaws in your arguments Mr. Black. You first rambled about how the U.S. backed Saddam in the 1980s and even Osama bin Laden for a while, and yes, both of them did share a common interest at one point with the U.S. But you fail to mention, that we backed him as part of the containment policy against the former Soviet Union's attempted expansion into the region. The Soviets at that time were backing Iran during their 8-year war with Iraq. And let's not forget that Iran had taken hundreds of Americans hostage in the early ages as well. You also said that we encouraged Saddam to use chemical weapons on Kurds and Iranians. Did you ever stop to think that maybe those with you, then you help them. Then to hide among civilians. And that's very Kurds and Iranians got gassed if they stab you in the back, (for the why innocent people get caught in because they werefightingwith the safety of all Americans) you punish the crossfire.

So don't blame their poverty th ; You simply fail to realize that years of resolutions, sanctions, and inspections, have all failed. Nor does the UN have the balls to enforce its own resolutions.

On May 2011, three graduation ceremonies will be held at the Mangrum Track and Field allowing seating for approximately 3,000 guests. Guests do not require tickets, but students are suggested to bring immediate family only or no more than 10 guests each. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Each graduate needs tofillout an RSVP form confirming attendance to walk for graduation and informing the Commencement Office of how many guests each graduate anticipates will attend. Submit an RSVP form by visiting www.csusm.edu/commencement. Although graduation may seem months away, making early preparations help the big day run smoother. Gradfest, a special "Grad only" event offers graduates cap and gown sales, photo frames for diplomas, class rings, photography packages and everything that a graduate would need. Gradfest will be held March 15,10 a.m. - 4 p.m., March 16,10 a.m. - 7 p.m., and March 17,10 a.m. 4 p.m. at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. The University Store will also sell caps and gowns later on in the semester. Graduation announcements may be also purchased online through Herff Jones by visiting www.herffjones , c o m / c o l l eg t i c s u s m . Graduates earning academic honors receive a gold cord , on the day of their ceremony. These honors are calculated based on the semester prior to graduation. Overall grade point average (GPA) and institutional GPA, the lower of the two, determine eligibility for academic honors. Magna cum laude 3,70 - 3.89 Summa cum laude 3.90 - 4tOQ Ceremony schedules vary depending on major. For a complete list of times, please visit the commencement website.

This act would include websites both in and outside the country. This includes any site that has "no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than unlawful sharing of copyrighted material." While there is no debate on whether these sites targeted are indeed acting outside the law, there is concern that the Attorney General's ability to re- moved whatever site he deems "inappropriate" would be outside of constitutional bounds. Opposition to the bill claims it leads the U.S. down a torrid path lined with censorship. After condemning countries such as China for their regular practice of internet censorship, a bill that would allow for similar practices does not seem ideal. The largest issue with the present bill is that the criteria for examining a site is extremely broad, which gives many legitimate websites a cause for concern. The site Dropbox.com is one such company that would come under fire should such a bill be passed. Dropbox is an online storage site where users can upload and store files as an alternative to physical storage. But under this new act, Dropbox would be in violation of storing illegal copies of copyrighted material, due to random users uploading and storing thefilesusing Dropbox's services. Also at risk are revenues from ad services such as AdSense by Google. The small text ads that appear on the majority of sites now would be banned from advertising on the sites deemed illegal. As ads are Google's major source of income, the bill could have a drastic effect on the search giant's revenue stream in the years to come. While the bill has caused concern for many website admins and Internet users alike, there is little to no chance that it will be passed, or even examined, before the end for a media outlet that has been of the current session of Congress. largely unregulated until now. The most outspoken critic of the bill is Senator Ron Wyden (DOR), who described the COICA as "using a bunker-busting cluster bomb when what you really need is a precision-guided missile/' The bill's creation has been met with thunderous applause from the music and film industries, who have been lobbying for stricter control over illegal download of copyrighted material from thé government for years. Whether or not the bill passes, its inception marks a change in the relationship between government and the internet. It marks Photo courtesy of dynamicbusiness .com .au the beginning of a new era of potential censorship and regulation # �SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES BUILDING mrîfMÂL ^sSÄ New addition for CSUSM Many Cal State San Marcos students will soon find their major departments moved to the new Social and Behavioral Sciences building, including Psychology, Sociology, Communication, Mass Media, Economics and Women's Studies, according to a CSU press release.

One way to cut out unnecessary stress is to examine your diet—-reading the nutrition labels on your favorite study snacks can help you spot unhealthy amounts of sugar, fat, and sodium that can slow you down and stress you out. Many incoming students dread the inexplicable freshman 15 and seek ways to avoid gaining weight during their college career. Students do not always understand the difference between advertising slogans and actual health food. Food manufacturers label their goods with false advertisements so they can reel the consumer into buying the item. Some foods are labeled with colorful signs that read "all natural," "supports immune system," "Og trans fat" and "low in sugar." These advertisements trick the buyer into thinking the item is better for them, when in fact the item includes high amounts of other unhealthy ingredients. Of the foods that read "low sugar" there may be different forms of sugar included in the item that are unlisted in the nutritional information sidebar. "Sugar masquerades under a variety of guises, such as dextrose, fructose, concentrates, glucose... and maltose," healthy living adviser, Pooja Mottl said. The nutritional information bar does not list these added sugars, but the ingredient label does. The problem is most people do not know how to pronounce these ingredients, let alone understand what these complicated names mean for their health. "The Food and Drug • Administration (FDA) has refused to include an 'added sugars' line (in grams) within the 'sugars' section," Mottl explained. This tricks the consumer into thinking an item has less sugar than it actually does. Furthermore, terms like "all natural" are vague. What part of the product is "natural?" "Anyone can put the term 'natural' on most foods, since the FDA has no formal definition of the term and doesn't r egulate or rector of EatingWell Media Group said. When grocery shopping, students trying to stayfit/loseweight must be wary of these labels. CSUSM's Wellness Center can help you understand how to stay healthy while in school. "At the HOPE & Wellness Center, we assist students to create a plan on eating healthy and emphasize physical activity/exercising as part of that plan to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and that it's not just about losing weight," Cathy Nguyen, health and H.OPJB. & Wellness Center coordinator said. The Wellness Center is very beneficial to students who would like to formulate a healthy lifestyle. Students think many items marketed as 'healthy' are truly healthy, but the Wellness Center helps you see past that. Common 'healthy' beverages, like juices, teas and smoothies deemed better for you than a soda are actually quite the opposite "VitaminWater is actually not nutritious at all. One bottle can contain...almost the same amount of sugar in a can of C oke" Nguyen continued. "To set up success for healthy dining, students must plan ahead. Bringing food from home is always best because you can control the amount of food that you plan to eat," Nguyen added. Beware of false advertisement, portion size and foods labeled nutritious because the foods you thought were healthier choices could be cloaked in lies!

For me, that place is Oslo, Norway, the city in which my lovely girlfriend and CSUSM alumnus lives. As this trip marked my third time visiting Oslo, I began to see what the locals of this renowned city always call "the real city." Although the tourist traps tend to attract most who visit Norway, those locations still have their enchantments. Though Oslo goes unnoticed by many a Eu- Os/o ) /sfoFùOCy ropean traveler, it has become one of the most romantic places in the world. See it with someone you love—or someone you are planning to fall in love with. Aker Brygge, an area consisting of docks, former warehouses and storage buildings lining the Oslo-fjord, has become the city's center attraction. Bustling restaurants, businesses and a shopping mall have overtaken the old fishing center. A visit in the summer can land you on a posh, floating bar on the water, but a winter visit might be even more romantic: try" ordering a couple of coffees and cake—traditional Norwegian "kaffe og kake"—and have a seat outside at one of the many pa- 1 JANUARY 25TH, 2011 Photo courtesy ofMichael Rawson S e e t h e c i t y like a tios lining the docks. The booths are lined with cozy Norwegian furs and heat lamps are plentiful. Meanwhile, you are treated to a view of the snow-glazed coast and calm Norwegian sea. Norway has the world's wealthiest per-capita income, and the scenery reflects those numbers. The "T-bane," the city's subway system, features new trains built by Porsche. Sleek, elegant and very fast, the T-bane can take you across the city in no time. Even so, I have found that the Trikk— the older trolley system—can be a much more exciting way to get to your destination. Magnificent views are always abundant, featuring views of Oslo's many old Norwegian buildings and sights like Holmenkollen, the fantastic modern ski jump perched on a mountainside. If you are riding the T-bane to a restaurant, hopefully it's authentic Norwegian cuisine! The cold fish, shrimp or Brie cheese sandwiches are delicious, and sliced bread and "brunost"— brown cheese—are a must-try. I still have yet to gather the guts to taste Norwegian reindeer stew, but eating fishballs with steamed potatoes and vegetables covered in white sauce makes me feel like a local. If traditional food isn't on your menu, Oslo features some of the world's finest ethnic cuisines. This time around, we agreed that the food at Jaipur, an would enchanting Indian place right in the middle of the city served the best Indian food either of us had ever tasted. Another favorite is kabob, a late night Greek/Middle Eastern treat beloved by Norwegians though you can find kabob all across the European continent. The Norwegian people are especially quiet and reserved, but here's another detail one might not notice the first time around: They are among the nicest and most hospitable hosts on the planet. My visits to Oslo are always* "hyggileg" and "koselig:" warm, pleasant, comfortable and generally lovely.

"Fringe" (2008), created by J J . Abrams, director and creator of hit television show "Lost," and film "Cloverfield" (2008), brings the world of impossible science into reality. Character Olivia Dunham, played by gutsy blonde Anna Torv, works for the FBI, specializing in the Fringe Division, a task force focused on cases of extreme abnormality. Torv leads the show by fighting genetic mutations, a parallel universe and of course chasing bad guys *with her long blonde hair easily blowing in the wind. Sexy co-star, Peter Bishop, played by Joshua Jackson (Yes, from "Dawson's Creek"), brings out a romantic side of Torv, as the hard-edged FBI agent softens when she falls for Bishop. But viewers don't think twice about who wears the pants in the relationship, Torv definitely holds the reins. Another leading lady in prime time includes Kate Beckett, in the hit dramatic comedy, "Castle" (2009). Beckett, played by Stana Katie is a leading homicide detective for the New York Police Department. Solving crime in New York City includes plots twists that no one can anticipate. Katie plays a sharp, sarcastic and witty character that wins the heart of famous novelist, Richard Castle, played by Nathan Fillion. Fillion finds inspiration from Katie for his upcoming novel and can lighten the mood of any murder scene with comedic relief. Katie is a clear contrast from the fun energetic Fillion, but the chemistry between the two characters keeps viewers on their toes. Annie Frost knows how to keep up with the boys, as a U.S. Marshall in Dallas, Texas, Frost, played by Kelli Giddish in the high action series, "Chase" (2010). Well-known executive director, Jerry Bruckheimer, placed petite Giddish as a lead character, but don't let her feminine charm fool you. She plays a fierce female justice seeker. "Giddish stars as the lead manhunter, who can hold her own against a perp twice her size," stated a review by Variety. Texas accents and cowboy boots haunt almost every action scene, but don't expect any romance in this series, Giddish prefers to indulge in gunfights and even fist fights. In solving crime, Allison Dubois doesn't need forensic evidence. She solves crimes in her sleep. Dubois, played by Patricia Arquette, a homicide consultant working for the District Attorney in Phoenix, Arizona, uses her supernatural instincts to uncover truths about crime scenes in the popular series "Medium" (2005). Once harshly judged for her strange talent, this daring diva uses her dreams tofindculprits of despicable crimes. Dubois juggles a family life, career and her psychic abilities with cool confidence and stunning composure.

HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK: THE 55 YARD LlfìE fi nORTH COUriTY HOTSPOT BEN DEARINGER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Interested in a place where you get some great deals on food and drinks no matter what night of the week it is? Just drive over to the historic Old California Restaurant Row, to The 55 Yardline, located within two miles from campus on San Marcos Boulevard. This local North County bar and grill has been open since 2003 and is the perfect place to grab a beer, watch a game, play some pool or even play some electronic golf on their classic Golden Tee arcade game. The 55 Yardline offers a large variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, but the happy hour specials draw in the massive crowds. Every day, the bar has something for everyone (Sorry, there is no happy hour on Friday through Sunday, although the bar still offers drink specials). Happy hour is offered from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m., and the specials range from $2.75 for a pint of a delicious domestic brew on Mondays to $3 for any Mexican beer on Tuesdays. Thursday is college night, and it is, a perfect place to go for those who are short on cash. They offer any well drink or domestic draft for only $2.75. But wait, there's more, The 55 Yardline has something to offer trivia buffs as well. Wednesday nights, starting directly after happy hour, the bar has a trivia competition that anyone can enter. Play as a team or individually, it doesn't matter! The bar offers prizes to the top three places. First place receives a $45 gift certificate for their next visit, second place receives $25 and third place receives $10. So why not test your knowledge in categories such as geography, pop culture, science, politics and other categories? Not a trivia whiz? Do not fret, The 55 Yardline has over 24 TVs and televises almost every sporting event. This is the place to be for all your different sport watching cravings, such as the NFL's Super Bowl XLV, basketball, soccer or UFC. Make sure to arrive early because seating is fairly limited. Sports memorabilia covers the dimly lit sports bar fromfloorto ceiling and takes anyone back throughout the history of San Diego sports culture. So if you are stuck in North County on a weekday night, you don't have much cash to spend, and you are looking for a great time, head over to The 55 Yardline. Sorry to those of you who are not 21 yet; staff checks identification at the door as soon as happy hour begins. Though, you may still go early to practice shooting pool or to just watch a game.

Earlier this year, Jan and Esther Sterns made a generous donation of $1 million to ACE Scholars to create an endowment and the new center. The new center, which is located in Craven Hall 3400, has a large study area with new computers, training room, program offices, community resource office and student lounge.

Mickelson said that it is open to all and he encourages all members of the campus community to attend. "We have many graduation celebrations on this campus where family friends and loved ones can come and rejoice in the students ' success," he said. ' Many of the ACE Scholar lack such support, however the CSUSM community comes out to fill that gap." �Email survey seeks students' views on campus climate B Y K ATLIN S WEENEY E DITOR-IN-CHIEF Students are being encouraged to complete a campus climate survey about the atmosphere both in and out of the classroom at CSUSM.

The basketball studentathlete Jacob Andersson reveals what made his stint at CSUSM noteworthy. When asked how his experience has been while at CSUSM, Andersson had nothing to complain about. "Overall it's been a great experience," said Andersson. "As far as basketball, my two years here both had bumps throughout the season, but we've always manage to figure things out. Overall it's all positive." Andersson discloses his most memorable moment came during the final game of his 2014 season. "It was really bittersweet, but in the fourth quarter we had the greatest comeback that I've seen or been a part of," Andersson said. "That personified the whole team of that year because everybody was really dedicated and hard working. Everybody really had each other's back, so even though we ended up losing the game in overtime; that was a feat that I 'm not going to forget in a long time." It is interesting to note that Andersson's first sport was Patchen enhances skills not basketball even though his father was a part of Sweden's first basketball league. He started off playing sports like ice hockey and soccer. And when he tells you why he switched from ice hockey to basketball, there was a logical reason behind it. "I never really started playing basketball and he [his father] was not trying to push me to play basketball," said Andersson. "I played hockey until I was 15. I was more talented in basketball than I was in hockey and basketball was a better experience to be around as a team with players and friends. I think that was a big factor for me." The time is near for Andersson to take the next steps in his life, a task that many are quite nervous about. That doesn't seem to be the case for him, however. "I definitely feel prepared in the way that Cal State [San Marcos] has prepared me as much as it should for my next step," Andersson said. "Since I am a Psychology major, most Psychology majors do go on to get their masters or PhD, so it's definitely not like I've reached the goal of my academic career so far. Cal State has helped me to be where I want to be at this point, but I still have some ways to go." Photo courtesy of Matt Berson Well, there you have it. Jacob Andersson, the former ice hockey player and future psychologist says he is prepared for what is next. His favorite memory may not have been a winning effort, but it sure can be something that will remind him of the bumpy roads and show him how far he's come. Best of wishes to you Andersson. Q&A with hurdler Damon Moore B Y B URTLAND D IXON SPORTS E DITOR Photo cùuttesy of Matt Berson BYAMYGHASTAIN A SSISTANT S PORTS E DITOR With a plan for the future in place, CSUSM baseball player Ray Patchen spoke to The Cougar Chronicle about college and his vision for life after graduation. Patchen gave a token of advice tofellowstudentsathletes who have yet to graduate. "Enhance your time management s kills" he said. "You can't play a sport forever, at some point you're going to have to graduate and go on in professional life." Looking back on life as a studentathlete, Patchen highlighted two accomplishments he is particularly satisfied with. "I am really proud of my hit streak that I got earlier this year, a 24game hit streak," he said. "Also every semester I've been in school since I was a freshman in high school, I 've had over a 3.0 GPA." After college, Patchen hopes that baseball will continue to be apart ofhis life .As a Communication ma- jor, he wants "to one day use that [degree] to become a professional major league [ MLB] umpire " Not only does he hope to pursue a career as an umpire, but Patchen also has his eyes set on management training positions. The five week " MLB accredited umpire school starts in January out in Florida" said Patchen. He intends on going through the course in hopes of being a M LB umpire. Patchen, an infielder for the Cougars is the only baseball player graduating this year. In his time at CSUSM, Patchen has left his mark not only on the baseball field but also in academics. He is only the second baseball player in program history to receive the Capital One/CoSida Academic All District Team honors. This award is given to players for exemplary performance both in the classroom and on the field. Patchen's success at Cal State San Marcos could be an indicator of things to come.

For s ome| there are more semesters to go; however, for senior Damon Moore or as his friends call him DJ, his time here, at CSUSM as a studentathlete is numbered. The All American track and field hurdler may be on his way to accepting his diploma, but leaving CSUSM also means leaving behind fond memories, a caring professor and a moment to last forever. Cougar Chronicle: What has made your time here at CSUSM memorable? Moore: Joining the track team and being very involved on campus. Being really involved and having track to push me to get good grades, to study more and to compete. I think if I wasn't in a sport I don't think I would have enjoyed myself as much as I did. CC: What was your favorite moment while competing in track? DM: Being an AllAmerican (becoming Ail- Photo courtesy of Matt Berson American in track requires a top nine finish at the highest level of competition in the nation) at Nationals and having the school record. We came into Nationals ranked 13 th and we came out placing fourth. I think that was the best moment of my life. CC: Out of all your years here, who was your favorite professor and why? DM: I 'm going with [Professor] Chadwick because she's a Women's Studies professor and I was a little skeptical about taking Women's Studies. I took her 101 class that I really liked and she made me think about certain issues I never thought about before. She's really passionate about what she is teaching and she really makes us look at things in a different perspective. There was a time when I was having some issues, and she understood and talked to me because she could relate. I 'm going to really miss her when I graduate. CC: What are your goals for after you graduate? DM: I got offered a track position out here in San Marcos and a head coaching job out in my hometown, Vista Murrieta. [I want to be] either a track coach or pursue my dreams in the entertainment field as in acting. Over summer, I 'm going to work with somebody who is in that field as a director and be her personal assistant to see if that's really want I want to do. From experiencing what he deemed the best moment of his life while competing, to having a professor he could talk when he was in rut, Moore surely did have plenty to enjoy while here at CSUSM. Congratulations and good luck on your journey after graduation, Moore. Ex-Charger's workout perfect for college students B Y A MY C HASTAIN ASSISTANT SPORTS E DITOR Shedding over 80 pounds in five months is no small feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick, the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that. The former football player began his weight loss project in 2014 upon his exit from the NFL after suffering a neck injury. During his 11 year career, Hardwick weighed around 295 pounds. As a center, Hardwick used his weight to push the defensive players back and protect his quarterback Philip Rivers. At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick stood before the press at 208 pounds down from 293 pounds, according to a tweet by UT San Diego writer Michael Gehlken. Hardwick's focus on a healthy life was all but confirmed when he stood before the media with this new slimmed down frame. On his Instagram account, Hardwick stamps himself as a "fitness junkie" and "health nut." Hardwick's various social media platforms consistently highlight his wife and children, but now they detail his journey to health through food and fitness. He shares workouts which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done in 20 minutes or less, and with minimal equipment. The most unique part about the following workout is that Hardwick did it in skinny jeans. When questioned by a fellow Instagram user on why he was wearing jeans, Hardwick responded that he was "just proving that you can do this workout anywhere. In any attire." One minute of each of the following (no rest between exercises). Do as many as possible within the time frame. Rest 30 seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times. Jumping Jacks Squat Lunges Mountain climbers Push ups If Nick Hardwick can do five rounds of this workout in skinny jeans, it is not wild to think it is an attainable workout for any college student. �T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 GRADUATION PROFILES JJ Gutowski exemplifies servant leadership B Y C HRIS M ORALES P HOTO E DITOR Jeff "JJ" Gutowski is an outstanding scholar, leader and mentor who has learned from the manyhardships he has faced in life and will leave a lasting legacy at CSU San Marcos. Gutowski, a Business major with a Political Science minor, will graduate from CSUSM in May after arriving to the university in 2010. In the five years he has attended San Marcos, Gutowski has been deeply involved in Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), ACE Scholars, Model United Nations and the California State Student Association. After moving to Hemet at the age of 10, Gutowski attended Tahquitz High School where he credits much of his success originated. "As far as Tahquitz goes, I give so much credit to the teachers and everyone that absolutely laid the foundation for me," he said. "They provided me with so much opportunity constantly for growth." Personal growth is an aspect of life that Gutowski has become familiarized and more comfortable with over the years. He credits his growth as a leader to not only his many successes in life, but his mistakes as well. The current ASI Vice President of External Affairs reflected on some of those moments from his freshman year. "I needed to turn in an ASI application. I was five minutes late turning in the application, [it] delayed me a whole year," Gutowski stated. "Another regret: for the orientation team, I went to apply and I wrote it in pencil. Didn't get the position because of that." Gutowski now writes all of his applications in pen. Putting in the "extra 10 percent" has now become a mantra that Gutowski has chosen to follow in order to develop himself to the fullest extent. This personal growth has resulted in a character that learns from his mistakes, and is able to find success by overcoming these constant hardships. "I still mess up every day. It's just taking that nasty anxiety feeling and turning it into something positive," Gutowski said. He credits his growth and success to many mentors, but he also believes that his greatest success is being a mentor to others. Spreading positivity and building healthy Photo by Chris Morales Gutowski shows off his Cougar pride. relationships with others are small steps he chooses to take on his monumental path as a servant leader. "If you're going to be a leader it has to be because you're empowering other people," Gutowski said, Once you do that, I think you're going to be on a good path." Gutowski leads by example, and examples like his are hard to come by. He will be pursuing a career with Latham & Watkins LLP following graduation; but his legacy, filled with a multitude of friendships and mentorships, will be looked up to by future Cougars as the definition of servant leadership. Kamalayan Alliance President champions leadership and community B Y S HANICE D AVIS A SSISTANT FEATURES E DITOR In the fall of 2011, Nicole Diwag began attending CSUSM, declaring her major as Criminology with a minor in Women's Studies. With her time on campus, she has built her reputation as being the President of the Kamalayan Alliance (KA). In addition to being the pus, so I like seeing all these different events that go on," Diwag said.

"He said, ' I'm here for you, the school's here for you.' To me that was a profound moment because professors have very busy lives, but when a professor tells me that they're there for me, that reassures me that I 'm not just a number, I 'm not just part of a system." Usually, once someone graduates, they're either heading to grad school or going to work, but Diwag has a different course of action she'd like to take first. "This is going to sound so silly, but every single day after graduation, I 'm going to drink coffee out of an actual ceramic mug because I've been drinking it out of thermoses or disposable cups, and I 'm tired of that." Proceeding while chuckling, " I'm going to wake up, really enjoy my coffee, read the news, but more seriously, I 'm going to be studying for the LSAT. I plan to go to law school. I also plan to work, but I 'm giving myself a year, so I 'm definitely going fo slow things down," said Diwag. For potential law schools and jobs, Diwag* says she doesn't want to speak on the matter and cause bad juju. As to where she sees herself in the next ten years, Diwag is not interested in finding Mr. Right, being married with kids, but in fact, to be out making a difference and searching for progression ."I want to give back to the community and I want to help empower them the way they empowered me," she says as she recites a quote that symbolizes who she wants to be. "I carry the dreams of the community that raised me." " I'm definitely not done learning, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, I expect that I will travel more,to places you don't hear about." "All the stuff going on, all the discussions people are having, I hope there's progress, in ten years, I want to still be having those discussions. I hope that me and other people can talk about it easier and that we won't have to walk on our tiptoes, we can just say something." And for future graduates, Diwag has a final piece of advice ."If you are ever given an opportunity, consider it and then if you decide to take that opportunity then do it, kick that door down and just kick ass at it. Prove that this opportunity was given to you because you are the best performing at it. If not, learn how to gracefully bow out of commitment," she said.

Upon being dropped in the den, she immediately found her clique at the ASI LGBTQA Pride Center, a place that helped shape her to be the woman she is today. "It was my home away from home. A place I could go between classes, eat lunch, make friends and be involved in social justice," Baca said. "I learned so much about the LGBTQA community, and it helped me become more comfortable with myself as a queer woman of color." Given that the LGBTQA Center became Baca's home, it was only right, that had the opportunity presented itself, she'd take it. "It gave me a chance to give back to the center which I called home. I wanted to create a welcoming and supportive space for all students, the very same welcoming and supportive space I was given as a freshman," Baca said. "I wanted to help maintain the very space that helps students feel at home at CSUSM, so that they can also find a place to belong," she said. It is clear that the Pride Center is Baca's pride and joy, and even less surprising is the fact that she dubbed In May, Baca will be graduating and saying her final goodbyes to the educational system. She has a job lined up for her as an IT desk technician for a wholesale sports apparel manufacturer.

Silvas plans to complete prerequisite classes, take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and apply to nursing school. "Eventually, my plan is to become a pediatric nurse practitioner," said Silvas. "Also, I plan on interning in a hospital to get more experience in the field as well as continue research that I have been working on at CSUSM." While attending CSUSM, Silvas became involved in surf research, participating in three studies and having the opportunity to present the first at the Southwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference (SWACSM) in Costa Mesa in October 2014. She will be presenting again at the end of May at the American College of Sports Medicine's 62nd Annual Meeting at the. San Diego Convention Center. "I never thought I would have such an incredible opportunity to get involved in research and present a study at conferences like these, but I have definitely grown a lot from these experiences," said Silvas. Silvas never thought she would become involved in school or student organizations until she realized how much she enjoyed the Kinesiology Club and the individuals within it. She became the president of the club when the opportunity presented itself and she decided to go for it.

"They inspired and continue to inspire me to work hard and never give up. I will miss having that incredible support system and will miss spending time in their classes and labs.

While growing to love the atmosphere of CSUSM, Silvas met many friends who have had a positive impact on her life "I have met so many incredible, unique and brilliant individuals at CSUSM that I will never forget and have made some lifelong friends," she said. "I will definitely miss coming here every day, but I am excited to see it continue to grow in the future." Vivian Nguyen is a dynamic student leader at CSUSM who is grateful for the experiences and opportunities she has had throughout her college career. In her fifth year here on campus, Nguyen is all set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in May. She is currently the Outreach and Communications Specialist for the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), and has also been involved in other organizations such as Orientation Team (O Team) and Alpha Omicron Pi. Through her involvement in these organizations, Nguyen said that she has been transformed and has been given the opportunity to grow through these experiences. "I wasn't involved at all in high school, besides marching band my freshman year. In college, I ended up applying to OTeam on a mere whim, and it helped me grow so much as a person and eventually made me realize that I could in fact be a leader some day," she said. "One of my best friends from OTeam, Dominica Ranieri, pushed me to apply for USUAB , which really became the heart of my transformation on campus... [and] Alpha Omicron Pi showed me the importance of sisterhood, and gave me a hundred sisters when I had no siblings in my family life at home." When asked about the impact she has made at CSUSM, Nguyen humbly responded by saying that she hopes she has been able to influence at least some of her peers during her time as an undergraduate.

According to Guzman, her time at CSUSM has been challenging but rewarding. She especially likes how professors on campus challenge their students to think critically. She said that it helps to "further broaden our perspective on various topics," especially in her area of study. Guzman's Christian faith has been a major part of her life, one that has helped her through these challenging years at CSUSM. "My vision for the future is no longer blurred. He lights up the path before me, directing my every step. I owe my success to Him alone and to those He blessed me with in guiding me and encouraging me throughout this journey," she said. When it comes to advice all she has to say is, "no matter what comes your way, keep going [...] There might be times that you'll feel discouraged and it's okay, but don't let it overcome you, overcome IT."

"Ob Portu * in Latin means "Toward the port". In the days when ships were powered only by the wind and the sea, a ship's captain and crew had to pay close attention to the tide, winds and the port for that perfect moment to allow a ship to make it safely into harbor. The word "opportunity" derives from the literal translation of this nautical tradition.

He also holds two associate degrees from Palomar College in San Marcos, which he got before transferring to CSUSM in 2013. He's been a student here over the past two years and has enjoyed his time on campus thus far. He attributes this experience to the people. When I asked him what he meant, he simply replied that "the people are kind." He spends some of his free time on campus with a group of local and international friends at the Global Education office during the week. The Office of Global Education is a hangout spot for many in- the departments and students. He said that only a "limited amount of people know about all activities in our major" because all of the information and/or opportunities aren't communicated to students. Aside from this, he had one piece of advice for current or inPhoto by Gloria Magallanes coming students: "There's a lot of free food on camternatiorial students as well pus!

International student says farewell to CSUSM B Y G LORIA MAGALLANES ASSISTANT O PINION E DITOR Izumi Furusawa is currently an international student here at CSUSM. She hails from Tokyo, Japan where she started her academic studies before transferring to this university. She's been here for over two years studying Global Studies and will be participating in the commencement ceremony in May, although she'll be officially done in the fall. Furusawa has always been interested in foreign countries because of her family's love of traveling. She was exposed fo different cultures at a young age. It was this exposure that led her to come to America as well as her love of foreign cultures. "America has more diversity. This is diversity. Diversity means the world to me," Furusawa said. Being a student at CSUSM is an advantage for Furusawa and her future career because American degrees are more valuable in Japan. However, all good things must come to an end. After she gets her degree she will have to return to her native country Japan even though she doesn't want to. "My goal is to come back here through a Japanese Photo by Gloria Magallanes company," Furusawa said. Throughout the two years that she's been here, CSUSM and California life have become a part of her. She especially likes our campus and environment. "I love it here 'cause it's small enough. If I walk around on campus. I see people that I've said hi to before and eventually it's easier to befriend them." Despite this experience, she's also realized that not every student is as warm. "I feel like American students are not interested in foreign culture. They don't care about internationals. In Japan, we are interested in international students, unlike here... here people don't care where I 'm from," Furusawa said. Nonetheless, she admits that she has been impressed many times by locals and their ability to talk to strangers, something that is not done in Tokyo. "I feel like people here are more kind. They are caring of others." It's hard to envision a life without the people she has come to know and love. "I really, really like it here. I've met so many people from around the world. I've made many American friends," Furusawa said. Overall, Furusawa is a fun, loving and adventurous person. She is full of life and laughter. There is no one else like her, she can't be replaced and because of this, I 'm certain that she will be dearly missed on campus, especially by her friends, the ones that have become family. All these experiences are memories she will have and cherish for many years to come. Congratulations, Izumi! Cheers to you and your accomplishments! Hugo Piñales, takes risks and breaks boundaries B Y JASMINE D EMERS N EWS E DITOR Hugo Pinales is a graduating senior at CSUSM whose work ethic shines through in hisunbreakable and dedicated presence on campus. Pinales is in his fifth year at CSUSM and will be receiving his bachelor's degree in Communication with a minor in Spanish. He is currently the Student Building Lead for the University Student Union and, during his time at CSUSM, he has also been involved with Orientation Team (OTeam), the University Student Union Activities Board, the Peer Mentoring Program and Student Life and Leadership. "CSUSM has really helped me grow as a human being through my involvement and my academics," said Pinales. Through his hard work and dedication, Pinales has been able to make a longlasting impact on the campus and his peers. "I hope that I am able to inspire students with different personalities to take the risk and find a special space on campus," he said. As graduation approaches, Pinales said that there are many things he is going to miss about CSUSM and that he has been able to learn so much from the Photo courtesy of Hugo Pinales people who surround him. "I am going to miss all the staff, faculty and students that have made my experience at CSUSM memorable, especially the staff and students that I have [been] able to work with at the University Student Union. They have allowed me to gain new and rewarding experiences that have made me to be a better leader at CSUSM," he said. As a first generation college student, Pinales explained that he is very proud of himself for taking on challenges and finally making it to graduation. When asked who has inspired him to achieve these goals, he said he turned to his parents. "My parents have always been my inspiration. Yes, it may sound cliché, but they have been extremely supportive during my five years at CSUSM. I see my parents as risk takers at a young age [because] they both came to the US for a better liv- ing. Through dedication and a high work ethic, they both became naturalized citizens, fulfilling their number one goal," said Pinales. "They have taken risks and dealt with challenges in life, but their passion and hope to overcome these obstacles inspire me everyday to push forward with my goals and aspirations." Pinales also plans to continue achieving his goals by continuing his education at San Diego State University. "I have accepted the offer to attend San Diego State University for a twoyear graduate program to receivé a Masters of Arts in Postsecondary Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Student Affairs. Also, I will be working for SDSU Residential Education." Pinales will take his memories and experiences from CSUSM and continue on his journey towards success. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 9 T H E COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 5 The Cougar Chronicle bids farewell to Video Editor B Y B EULAH SUPRIYA SENIOR S TAFF W RITER As Cal State San Marcos has finished with half of the current semester, the ^eniors are preparing for graduation, one of whom is Raymond Ravarra, the Cougar Chronicle's Video Editor for the fall of 2014. As his time here in Cal State is ending he shares a few memories and lessons he has learned along the way. Ravarra has been at Cal State for the past two years studying a special major in mass media and visual arts. He came to work at the Cougar Chronicle as part of an internship. When asked about the experience he said," the people were great, I miss them. The overall experience was good and got to build relationships0. The reason for choosing mass media was a class he took at his second semester here at the school called video arts which increased his interest in Visual ••••••••HnHn media especially videography. There was also a need in the Church where he served for a good videographer as visual aids in this day and age have become an important way to communicate to people. He doesn't really feel pressured to get a job that will pay a lot of money as he trusts the Lord will provide,. Completing his final semester Ray Ravarra looks back on the effort which brought him to where he's at right now, including a semester in which he took 19 credits. Giving some advice to others pursuing their degree he said," Work hard and get it done, don't lose focus of what matters, we tend to define self by what we graduate in or what job we are in but can't find hope or contentment in that, seek something you can find full satisfaction in knowing that it will last." With Graduation approaching, Ray Ravarra shares his future plans. He plans on working as graphic designer, marrying his girlfriend and later continuing his higher education by joining The Westminster seminary and eventually become a pastor. Now that this chapter in his life is coming to an end, he is excited about his new life ahead and not having to climb so many stairs each week! We wish Ray the very best in all his future endeavors.

Athletes were generating huge amounts of revenue for their schools and they were compensated with scholarships. Fair enough, I thought, except that when I spoke to a few athletes I discovered that it was anything but fair. Athletes are forced to adhere to very professional schedules of practice and play. That means they cannot always take the classes they want because these may interfere with practice, for example. What? A studentathlete, who makes money for the school, which professionalizes their sport, cannot take the classes they want? How is that fair? The more I looked, the worse it got. Studentathletes are completely under the control of the NCAA, and they have no recourse but to sue to get theirrights.Recently, it was discovered that many of the more famous ones were having their likenesses used by sports companies to sell jerseys and other paraphernalia. No compensation was offered to them, of course, because they are not employees, but studentathletes, a designation that allows the schools to profit from their work.

Martinez, a Communications major with a focus on public relations and journalism, has been at CSUSM for two years after transferring from Mount San Jacinto College. She has flflflfljflflflflflflEflfl^ been actively involved with American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center (CICSC), Public Relations Club, Tukwut Leadership program, Lead Retreat and with social justice actions on campus. Martinez's current leadership positions include being the Chairwoman of AISA, the Outreach Specialist for Public Relations Club and a Student Researcher at the CICSC. Martinez has thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that have come from being involved on campus. One of her favorite programs was through Tukwut Leadership, which consisted of visiting Mountain Shadows, a place where handicapable and differently abled individuals are able to live in a safe, familylike environment. Partici- pants created a mural and artwork with the residents there. Through her involvement with AISA and the CICSC, Martinez has been active in a lot of events centered around helping Native youth. "The local Native youth come down to campus or we go to their school. We talk to them about college and give them a tour of the [CICSC] center," Martinez said.'"We have lunch with them and they ask us questions. It is a comforting place to go for the local youth and shows them that they can do it too." Martinez said that the CICSC in particular has been instrumental to her growth as a student and activist. She said that Tribal Liaison, Tishmall Turner, informed students in the center about getting grants and kept them informed on when scholarship applications needed to be completed.

Santiago is a third year student on campus and works hard to submit her FAFSA on time. Like years prior, she communicated regularly with the Financial Aid Department to make sure that her paperwork was submitted properly and on time. In this particular case, Santiago brought her financial aid paperwork into the office directly on July 21,2014. "The copies were stamped and dated and the employee working specifically told me that it would take approximately seven to ten business days to process. On August 5, my status was still showing up on my ToDo List," Santiago said. When calling to follow up, Santiago was greeted with a notice that Financial Aid "did not have" her papers and the campus fee was due the very next day. "That was $900 I did not have," Santiago said. "I was put on hold several times throughout the process while I found the papers I had previously submitted and drove to Kinko's and faxed the papers...," Santiago said. "But by accepting student loans to pay for the expense later in life seems far less appealing since the promise of employment and careers immediately upon separation from college have been lacking over the past decade. Employment rates have risen but much of that work is parttime and temporary through a large number of corporations including Amazon, The Department of Veterans Affairs and much more. Promising employment appears to exist in fields focused on technology, web development/design, software development, finance, various medical fields and environmental engineering.

She has attended CSUSM for the last two years after transferring from MiraCosta College and has written for The Cougar time with her family, friends and her boyfriend Tim who will also be graduating from CSUSM this May with a degree in Global Studies and is currently studying abroad in Israel until June. In her free time, F riedberg loves taking photographs. She skillfully captures the s implistic l oveliness of whatever she is photographing, whether it be loved ones, objects or nature. She has a refreshing appreciation for beauty and nature and takes joy in the little things. She is able to see One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." C hronicle since 2013, moving her way up from staff writer to Opinion Editor. When Friedberg is not busy with school, the newspaper or her job as a nanny, she enjoys spending quality magnificence in the ordinary. One of her favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Her other hobbies include reading books of all kinds (although books by Donald Miller are amongst her favorites), spending afternoons at quaint coffee shops and going on picnics at Elfin Forest or Buena Creek Gardens. Friedberg is an extremely talented and accomplished writer. She regularly writes for SHARE San Marcos, a local community publication. Upon graduating this May, Friedberg plans on pursuing a career in editing and writing. Her writing is simultaneously both concise and expressive, which is a rare ability. She breathes life into her writing, transferring her passion and skill into the words she puts on the page or screen. During newspaper meetings I have had the pleasure of observing her in her element. She is animated and happy and eager to help staff writers however she can while being open to new ideas and thoughts. Friedberg is wonderful at making sure her section reaches its full potential while still having fun. She is smart, funny, dedicated and sweet and makes friends wherever she goes. During her time at CSUSM and The Cougar Chronicle, Friedberg has left a lasting impression with her hard work, kindness, sincerity and talent. She has a beautiful, effervescent soul and has blessed those around her and will be dearly missed here at school and at The Chronicle. The newspaper will not be the same without you.

In my five years here, I have seen the SBSB building, the USU, the Veterans Center, the Quad, the Health Center, as well as many other things come to life. C C: What do you have in plan for your postgraduate future? HG: I love music, I love singing; it's my escape from reality, my Zen; however through my minors in Video Production and Women's Studies I have discovered something empowering. The power of media and how that affects our society. In high school, I always struggled with my body image, it wasn't until I took my first Women's Studies class that I felt empowered to not feel ashamed for not fitting the beauty standards society has structured for women. Therefore, it wasn't until recently that I decided to go back to school next year to get my Masters in Fine Arts and a PhD in Gender or Women's Studies, so that I can focus on creating videos of some kind to promote body positivity in young girls. Singing is my passion, but children are our future. So I say why not go back to school? Why not make a difference? Why not? C C: Is there anyone (or a number of people) you would like to thank or give recognition? HG: As a woman of faith I 'd like to thank God. As a first generation Latina to graduate I 'd like to thank my mom f or raising me as a single mother, my sisters for always pushing me to keep going, my brother and his wife for supporting me, my friends and coworkers for always being there for me, as well as Dr. -ChingMing Cheng, Dr. Pamela Redela and Professor Kristine Diekman for encouraging me to continue with my studies. From the bottom of my heart thank you. Cougar Chronicle: What is the degree youwill be graduating with? Quinsy Lawson: Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis in Music What is your musical specialty? How long have you been perfecting your craft? Did you have to overcome some difficulties along the way? QL: "Drums. I have been playing since 6th grade in concert band and then marching band in high school. A difficulty I had to overcome was being a college athlete as well. Basketball took up most of my time and was a huge distraction from music. With practices every day and traveling every week for games I missed a lot of class and practice time drumming." How was your time here in CSUSM? Did you start here as a freshman or transfer from another school? As being part of the inaugural graduating Photo courtesy of Quincy Lawson i Lawson will perform 5:30- 7 :00pm.M May 7 at the Old California Coffee House class of the School of Art, has there been changes in the quality of the School? QL: My time at CSUSM has been great. I started at Loyola Marymount university (LMU) forbasketball and transferred here also for basketball. I feel the quality of the school is always improving.

" ^ 1 ' - * ~ gjH mmà s tart h ere a s a f reshman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? MD: I was a Biology major as a freshman. There were various events that drove me to pursue a form of art over science. At the end of my senior year of high school, my father developed kidney failure and consequently was unable to work. In effect, we were left without a home. For a year we lived with family who helped us get back on our feet. I started college and was working part time. Two years into college I was frustrated and exhausted, both emotionally, physically and spiritually. My father was trying to adjust to a new lifestyle as much as we were as a family and this took a great toll on me. I was so focused on helping my family and providing that I forgot how to take care of sic this school has to offer. mm § a ®ü. W hat do you have in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? MD: I plan to apply for grad school to study ethnomusicology and teach in the near future. Photo courtesy of Mariela Dieguez Dieguez will perform 7 p.m. May 9 at Arts 111 myself. I was growing up too fast too quickly. There came a breaking point where my depression could not be contained. Besides it being a physical feeling of tiredness and exhaustion, I felt I was missing a basic emotion: happiness. Nothing made me happy. In examining my life up to that point, I reevalu- ated who I was, what I loved and how I wanted to live_. I soon realized I was always in choir even at my most desperate time and that's when I knew, I should just give it a try. What do I have to lose? I thought to myself, and I have not looked back at that choice. I am and will always be a student. As being p art of t he i naugural g raduating class of t he School of A rt, h as t here been changes in t he quality of t he School? MD: It is exciting to see the School of Art grow as I have grown and it will only continue to grow more and more. I hope to see more students interested in the mu- I s t here anyone (or a n umber of people) you would like t o t hank o r give recognition? MD: I would like to thank the numerous teachers that have shown me more than I had expected. Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Dr. Ching MingCheng, Bill Bradbury, Mary Jaeb and all the musical friends I made along the way which I have grown so close with, and my family and friends outside my college life who have supported me in my little journey I like to call life. School of Arts Senior Caleb Carter B Y F AITH O RCINO A & E E DITOR C ougar C hronicle: W hat is t he degree you will b e g raduating w ith? Caleb Carter: Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis in Music C ougar: W hat is y our musical specialty? How long h ave you been p erfecting y our c raft? Did you h ave t o overcome some difficulties along t he way? CC: I 'd say that would have to be guitar performance. I 've been playing guitar for almost ten years now. And of course, with everything else, there will always be obstacles you have to overcome. One that I 've had would be this existential crisis I had about a week ago where I was having thoughts l ike, 4 Am I just a m usician?! love music and everything about be- ing a musician, but is that all I am? Like, I was thinking about what life would be like if I pursued a "real j ob" and not a career pejoratively deemed a hobby. I 'm past that now though, because I realized the reason I 'm pursuing music is bigger than that. It's more of a calling than a choice. Or maybe I 'm crazy. Either way, I 'm happy. C ougar: How was y our t ime h ere in CSUSM?Did you s tart h ere a s a f resman o r t ransferred f rom a nother school? As being p art of t he i naugural g raduating class of t he School of A rt, h as t here been changes in t he quality of t he School? CC: I have mixed feelings about my time spent here, haha. I 'll elaborate later. I came in as a freshman, but I did try transferring out to Berklee (College of Music) and UCLA during my second year, but that didn't work out. The only reason I wanted to transfer out is because this school is too new; the music program wasn't quite where I expected it to be. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with the professors. Absolutely nothing wrong, they're all great and possess skill and talent that I could only hope to have someday. It's just that this school is new and the music program (not sure if I could speak on the whole SofA) hasn't exactly been established. There's a significant amount of students that don't know that we have a jazz ensemble, let alone a music program. We just need more students (and serious ones at that) to create a higher demand, which would eventually lead to more funding and overall support. But that comes with time. The school will be at that level someday. C ougar: W hat d o you h ave in p lan f or y our p ostgraduate f uture? CC: I plan on grinding. Like, hella grind. This music thing is going to work out, but it takes so much work. A lot more than a lot of people are willing to put in. I 'm going to make some lifestyle changes, like: practicing four hours a day instead of two, making beats every single day, picking up two jobs so that I can finally move to LA, etc. I know that's a fairly vague answer, but there are so many things that I want to do with music career wise, it's hard just to choose one thing. Why not do them all at once? I know I 'm capable, but like I said earlier, I have to put in WORK. C ougar: I s t here anyone (or a n umber of people) you would like t o t hank o r give recognition? CC: Everyone. Really, everyone. I mean, I 'd love to give thanks to my mom and my sisters, Dr. Imara, Dr. Bradbury, Dr. Cheng, Photo courtesy of Caleb Carter Rendall, Kyle, David, Chelsea, Audrey, but the list goes on and on. I 'd just keep it simple and say everyone, because I truly am thankful of everyone I 've met along the way. And those people should know who they are.
