March 4th teach-in and rally spark motive for change
BY BEN ROFFEE & SANDRA
CHALMERS
Mar. 4-Four distinguished
members of CSUSM's faculty
convened in Academic Hall 102
today for a teach-in to speak out
against the stripping of funding
for California's Higher Education programs. Coinciding with
the statewide "day of action," an
eclectic panel of professors from
a multitude of academic fields
offered their critiques of the CSU
and UC systems and offered solutions based on their respective
fields of study.
Many students were forced to
stand in the back or sit on stairs
and in passageways as the room
was filled to capacity. Organizers simulcasted the teach-in live
to dozens of locations on campus
and over the internet, reaching
hundreds more who had class or
were otherwise unable to make it
to the event.
First to speak was Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, professor of Economics, shedding light on the effects
of cuts to public education as
they relate to the economic wel-

fare of the state. Like an investment, said Dr. Basu, public education is capable of garnering
valuable benefits for the public if
the public chooses to assume the
responsibility of paying for it.
According to Dr. Basu, "as a
college student, when you graduate, you accrue a personal rate
of return, which currently in
the U.S. is about 15%. So you
are making an extremely good
investment by being here because
that 15% is much higher than any
investment you could make anywhere else."
"There is also a social rate of
return-this is only looking at
what the state gets back from
education-and that is about 9%,
which means that even for the
government, for the state, its a
very good investment to invest
in education as opposed to other
areas."
Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor in the Political Science
and Global Studies departments,
assessed the political implications in California of the budget
crisis in its public higher education programs. At the core of this

issue, said Dr. Greenwood, is the
dependency of the CSU and UC
systems on a volatile tax base
bound to unpredictable economic
forces.
According to Dr. Greenwood,
"Ideally what we want to is try to
find a way to stabilize the revenue source, not just for the general
fund but also for public education. One possible solution is this
bill [A.B. 656] that's going to tax

would provide a nice permanent

after? the March 10 announcement of the Computer Compe-
tency Requirement's elimination.
The CCR was formerly a
graduation requirement for
CSUSM undergraduates unless
an approved computing course
satisfied the requirement. It then
moved to being mandatory for all
students to pass before graduating.
As per an expired campus
mandate, undergraduates must
complete a three-part exam consisting of displayed proficiency
in Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, Viruses, and ethics associated with software and the Internet.
The decision to eliminate the
requirement, originated from a
recommendation by the Aca-
demic Senate, according to the
Office of the Provost and Vice
President for Affairs.
Should students still feel the
need to educate themselves on
content necessary for computer
competency, it is recommended
they enroll in CS 100. The course
provides a brief overview of computing and focuses on the same
topics covered in the CCR.
"The Student Technology Help
Desk (STH) also provides support and training for students,"
the announcement said. The Student Help Desk is located on the
second floor of Kellogg Library.
The staff is well-versed in a variety of applications for both PC
and Mac.

O ur community shines in dark times
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
The
inconveniences and f rustrations of f urloughs
and bad budgets has
stretched the f iber of
our school, and the
recent g raffiti inciting hate created even
more disappointment. But the
student and s taff response has
been very encouraging.
The rally against the pay
cuts, f urloughs, enrollment
caps, and other problems we
face because of the budget
cuts on March 4 was an inspiring event. I was skeptical of
how much of an e ffect a rally
and teach-in would have, but
the climate on campus that day
was h opeful. I was glad to see
so many people come together
because it is easy to forget this
problem is bigger
than one individual
is.
However, what
impressed me the
most was the protest organized by
many student organizations against
hate crimes and discrimination. The
words scribed on the wall of
our campus were ignorant and
upsetting, but I do not want to
draw attention to that.
It is a shame that this happened, that someone felt
strongly enough to do that.
But out of this dark moment,
it was emotionally moving
to see the student body come
together. Our community did
not respond with anger or a
backlash, but with unity and
support.
It would be nice if we could
take these problems away. But
since we live in the real world,
we have to deal with them.
There is no longer a need to
be discouraged or hopeless
in these situations. We have
already proved we can come
together and do something
unexpected.
Now is the time to keep

source of revenue for public education and
we wouldn't have to worry about this up
and down that we have been experiencing."
From the Sociology department, Dr.
Sharon Elise discussed public education
in California as it relates to race, gender,
and class issues. Against the backdrop of
recent racist events on campus, Dr. Elise
took aim at what she described a system of
"entitlement" that has emerged in California's higher education. "There has always
been something particularly threatening
about educated people of color, something
threatening to the status quo of race and
property distribution in the United States,"
said Dr. Elise.
"The provision of free public higher education is fundamental to creating social justice and equity, and so it is also central to
the fight against racial injustice."
Dr. John Halcon from the Department
of Education gave his opinion on some
of the structural shortcomings California's approach to public higher education. Remarking on the theory of "deliverology" and the CSU's "Master Plan, Dr.
Halcon said, "I believe that when higher
education becomes a privilege, only
the privileged will afford higher education. Deliverology is top-down management and anti-democratic."
"In my opinion, we can expect that Deliverology will change future graduates from
that of well-rounded articulate thinking to
competent technicians capable of following orders but fundamentally incapable of
thinking for themselves," added Dr. Halcon
Rally at Library Plaza
Last Thursday began a nation wide protest against education budget cuts that have
left campuses frustrated and demanding a
change.
CSUSM held a teach-in rally that
allowed for students, faculty, and staff to
voice their feelings and struggles on how
the budget cuts have affected them.
In the academic year of fall 2009 - spring
2010 students have experienced tuition
hikes, furlough days for faculty and staff,
fewer classes to choose from and a cap on
the amount of units that may be taken per
semester. These changes have crippled our
campus, leaving students, faculty and staff
aggravated, but motivated to implement
change.
Students are paying more for tuition and
student services but are receiving less than
in years before. Furlough days have taken
10 percent of student's education, by representing the 10 percent pay cuts that faculty are enduring. Although students are
receiving less education they are spending
more in tuition than in 2008 when no furloughs were in practice.
The rally called for all who are disgruntled to gather together to respond in protest to the current situation. Many student
clubs and organizations responded by supporting the rally with hand made signs that
shared their feelings of misfortune with
the education system.
The political science club held a "poster
making party" that encouraged students to
bring markers and other decorative items
in preparation for the rally. The student
organization also created an event page
on facebook concerning the rally. " Tell
your friends, classmates, and people in
your community! Everyone needs to know
that CSUSM is participating in this call
to action for public education," said in the
description of the event.
This sort of buzz and excitement for the
rally and teach-in event was easily generated and passed on to students and faculty
members and united them by creating this
event as a outlet for expression as well as a
movement for change.

On March 3, 2010, University Police
responded to a call that vandalism, a
derogatory message targeting multiple
minority groups, had occurred in the
women's restroom in Markstein Hall.
This would be the first of five Hate
Crimes reported on campus within a
week.
The vandalized bathroom stall featured a graffiti message about seven

staff and students of the event early the
next day in a campus wide email. "I
will not tolerate any attempts to intimidate or threaten our University community," wrote President Haynes. Despite

a safe 5-0 lead in the third inning
thanks to a big two-out rally. With
nobody on, Kyle Secciani drew a
walk, Matt Jenkins ripped a single
off thefirstbaseman's glove down
therightfieldline, and red-hot Kevin
Silvett drove in the first run with
a base hit Josh Miller was then
hit by a pitch, loading the bases for
Ryle Parks, who delivered a huge
two-RBI double. Johnny Omahen
then hit a ball to second which was
booted and subsequently thrown
away, allowing Paries and Miller to
score to make it 5-0.
With Travis McCracken on the
mound, the game felt like it was over,
but Illinois Tech responded well
McCracken ran into trouble in the
fourth, due in part to his own error
and a seeing-eye swinging bunt single
- surrendering four runs and leaving

Hard-throwingrelieverKyle Smart
was called on to put out the fire, and
he did so brilliantly, striking out two
batters to close out the frame.
With CSUSM up 5-4, each team
threatened to score, but neither could
push any more runs across. Ricky
Chavarria did an excellent job on
the mound for the Cougars, working
the final three innings and allowing
just one hit He picked up the wellearned save, with Smart getting the
win.
Game two would feature no such
drama, as CSUSM took a commanding 6-0 lead in the bottom of
thefirstbefore recording a single out
Secciani drew a leadoff walk, and
Ricardo Moran and Silvett recorded
back-to-back doubles to make it 2-0.
After a walk to Miller and single b y.

unloaded on a no-doubt-about-it
grand slam torightcenter.
The hit parade would continue in
the second, as Silvett blasted a tworun homer, and Miller followed with
a solo shot of his own to make it 9-0.
Meanwhile, Brett Miller was
in complete control on the mound
for CSUSM. He worked four easy
innings, striking out six while allowingjust two hits and a walk. The win
improves him to 2-0 this season.
Secciani singled in a run in the
fourth to make it 10-0; and in the

Sandberg, Dronenburg, Villalpando lead Softball to Sweep of Biola
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
On Saturday at CSUSM Softball
Field, Brenna Sandberg's pitching
and Alyssa Dronenburg's hitting led
Cougar softball in game one to a 3-1
victory over Biola University, and
Kimi Villalpando's 4 RBI propelled
the squad to a come-fiom-behind 6-4
win in game two.
The sweep improves #20-ranked
CSUSM to 12-6 this season. Biola
M s to 12-10.
It's a pair ofbig wins over a quality
opponentforthe Cougars, who, aside
from a lapse in the second inning of
game two, looked very good on the
day.
Game one was dominated by
Sandberg, who through six innings
had allowed just one baserunner. She
ended up going the distance, striking
out ten batters while surrendering just
one unearned run on two hits and one
walk to pick up her 10th win of the
season.
The offense came from Dronenburg, who led off thefourthinning
by lacing a ball over the fence in rightcenter to put her team up 1-0. It's her
team-leading sixth home run of the
season.
From there, CSUSM would pick
up an insurance run in the fifth, with
Elizabeth Bush scoring on a wild
pitchfollowinga base hit and an
Alicia Ingram double. The Cougars
would tack on another in the sixth,
with red-hot Erica Coelho leading off
with a single, advancing to third on
a Ciera Ashman double, and scoring
on a solid Shanti Poston single up the
middle.
The 3-1 margin would hold, as
Sandberg worked through a little
trouble in the seventh to preserve the
victory.
Game two would require some
perseverance, but the Cougars rose to
the challenge. Biola played small ball
in the second, taking advantage of a
Cougar defense that committed three
errors and made some questionable
decisions to take an early 4-0 lead
But CSUSM responded immediately, cutting it to 4-3 in the bottom of
the frame as Villalpando delivered a
big two-RBI single that plated Coelho
and Ashman, and Ingram then singled in Villalpando.
And in the third, the Cougars
would take theirfirstlead of the contest Coelho continued to mash the
ball, doubling to lead off the inning.
Ashman drew a walk, and a base
hit by Poston loaded the bases. That
brought up Villalpando again, and
once again she knocked a two-RBI
single right up the middle to give
CSUSM a 5-4 lead
That score would hold for most of
the contest, as Sandbergrightedthe
ship on the mound and the defense
settled in. In the bottom of the sixth,
Lauren Nelson drilled a solo home
run to push the lead to 6-4. Sandberg
would finish it off; as Poston made
a nice leaping catch at shortstop to
record the game's final out
Sandberg improves to an impressive 11-3 on the season.
CSUSM will be back at home on
Saturday to host Bethany University
for a double-header starting at noon.
Track & Field competes at Point Loma Invitational
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
A day after the Cougar distance
runners competed at the Occidental
Distance Carnival, the rest of the
team participated in the Point Loma
Invitational, hosted by Point Loma
Nazarene on Saturday.
And for the second straight day,
plenty of Cougar athletes punched
their tickets to Nationals.
On the women's side, the 4x100-
meter relay team earned the "A"
standard, guaranteeing them a spot
at Nationals. The team of Aimee
Rassavong, Krystle Osby, Mary
Spinharrey, and Monika Valenzuela posted a time of48.48 seconds,
good for second place at the meet.
The 4x400-meter team got the
"A" standard as well. Lucia Asbury,
Tiffany West, Osby, and Valenzuela won the event with a time of
3:54.28.
Valenzuela also met the "B" standard in the individual 400-meter
dash, running 57.67 seconds to win
the event.
In the field, Andrea Talhami
earned the "A" standard in the
triple jump with a distance of 11.48
meters. She finished in second
place.
On the men's side, the 4x100meter relay team earned the "A"
standard and won the race. The
team of Thomas McDougal,
Anthony Harbour, Nicholas Stein,
and Nicholas Henderson posted a
time of 41.78 seconds. That same
team also met the "B" standard in
the 4x400-meter relay, winning the
race with a time of 3:17.73.

�Surf team competes at state championships
Team members advance toward national title
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Surf Team competed in the NSSA Interscholastic State Championships on
March 5-7 at Huntington Pier,
and placed 8 among the other
21 competing teams.
Huntington Beach offered the
competitors decent weather, and
2-4 foot surf on Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday for the
final rounds, the wind increased
to bring the surf up to a peaky
th
5 feet, and made the surf somewhat inconsistent. SDSU was
a dominant force that crushed
the rest of their competitors in
the finals leaving their score at
162. The runner-up UCSB only
scored 132.
The surfers competing are
judged on their best two waves
in a given heat of only 15 minutes, so concentration and correct wave choice are key to
advancing. Unfortunately luck
can be a variable as well.
The team didn't fair well in
round one. Kailtin Maguire and
Mick Rogers were the last surfers on the team competing on
Sunday in the semi-finals for
the long board division. The
long board division is co-ed, and
Maguire is the only woman who
has been able to break into the
final round in previous events.
Her rank right now for the conference is 17th with only competing in 3 out of 4 events.
Mick Rogers is ranked 6th
after competing in all four
events. He said, "I started off
the event on a positive note,
managing to string together a
couple of good turns with some
nose rides, but on Sunday, due to
crappy waves and not performing the best, I couldn't really put
it all together."
Rogers said that the benefits
of being part of the CSUSM
surf team are, "To be part of a
team, with people that all share
similar interests." He said he
enjoys "The rivalry of competing against other universities up
and down the California coast."
Both Rogers and Maguire see
surfing as something they can
enjoy easily while still making
time for school. Maguire said
"School is a once in a iifetime
opportunity, and you can't really
Photo by Mike Rogers rely on surfing to support you in
the future. These days it seems
that even the best of the pros are
struggling to make a life out of
surfing." The team represents
the school in competitions, but
also allows these individuals to
be able to do what they enjoy
while still planning for their
future.
Even though the other team
members didn't advance into
final rounds, the experience of
competing will be useful to prepare them for the NSSA National
Championships in June, where
they will defend their title. Last
year, the team won their first
National Title for the school in
Photo by Mike Rogers
a tiebreaker finish against west
coast school UNCW.
Scott McBride, who took 4th
place in the men's short board
division at last year's National
Championships, will be returning. For women's short boarding,
the team has Alexa Thornton,
who is ranked a promising 7th
out of 63 other competitors. Last
year she finished 6th when competing at the high school level.
Laura Thatcher and Summer
Meyer are contenders as well,
ranking in the top 25. The team
also has the assistance of their
veteran advisor Amber Puha to
help them capture the title again.

Bowling Pin
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse
range of cultures is one of the stated goals of
CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission
statement.
Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted
students to the largest event of the year put on by
the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated
Students Inc.
The 3rd annual International Fair was held on
Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front
of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables
representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing
to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300
people who attended the event.
Following a fashion show featuring garments
from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed
w on t he c om-
Guy trophy
petition with a
recycling rate of 43.65 percent.
^Recycling rate is determined by
calculating the percentage of
recycled materials in relation to
trash by weight. "California State_
University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new
Recycling Rate contest," reads
the Recyclemania website.
Second place in the recycling
rate category is held by Tufts
University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent.
According to Recyclemania
our closest competition, "Tufts
University closed the gap with
Cal State San Marcos to less
than three percentage points, but
never wound up getting closer
than that."
For winning the contest
CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the
other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement.
The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating
schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing
3,484 passenger cars from the
road for one year, 132 acres of
forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions
from the power consumption of
2,066 households"
"We are excited and so proud
of the campus for their effort,"
said Green Team Member Mui

Brazilian martial arts. The martial arts performance combined
music, dance, and fighting
rose the crowd to their feet in
applause.
Master of ceremonies Dr.
Carlos von Son said that the
Brazilians had to mask their
martial arts training with art and
music in order to secretly train
for revolt against their oppressive
government and this resulted in
a crafted art combining defense
training, music, and dance.
Tango dancing from Argentina
was taught to students by
professional tango instructors.
Many students had a chance to
see this seductive and romantic
dance in action before being
invited to try it on the dance
floor.
Jewish dance from Israel was
then presented. The dance was
easy to learn and most of the
crowd was able to participate.
The dancing filled peoples faces
with smiles and laughter.
Students from the Latino

meringue.
"This event housed spectacular
dances which give a chance for
us to observe different cultures,
their customs, and spirit," said
Italian student Roxana Righetti,
"this gives students here at Cal
State San Marcos, a chance to
see our diverse cultures around
campus."
There was a wide variety of
international cuisine available at

Most students thought the fair
was both fun and educational.
Some students cited the university
mission statement that talks about
diversity.
Student Cinthia Tirado said that
she liked the fact that this campus
displayed different cultures on
our campus.
"When the campus talks about
diversity in the mission statement
this definably helps us appreciate
it," said Tirado.
A student at the model United
Nation's (UN) booth offered her
perspective of the event.
"We like to contribute to the
international vibe on campus and
open students up to new ideas
about the United Nations," said
political science major Jennifer
Runge at the UN booth.
One student gave her opinion
as to why multicultural events on
campus such as the International
Fair are important.
"It helps us to understand different cultures from different
countries. I think it's important to know more about what's
out there. Especially in the U.S.
where many people don't know
much about other countries," said
student Jana Somolova.
The organizers of the event
were more than pleased by the
participation in this years fair.
"It went really, really good!
We hope to provide and
encourage students around the
campus to learn, share, and
celebrate different cultures,"
said International Club President
Emily Ng.
The International Club meets
Tuesdays 1:00-2:30 in The

�Guarantee registration, take
your CCR today
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
With the stress of finals and
fall 2005 registration quickly
approaching, stress levels can
reach an all time high for many
students at CSUSM. In the midst
of this end of the semester chaos,
don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement
(CCR).
The CCR is a mandatory test
for all baccalaureate students at
CSUSM regardless of their major
that must be completed within
two semesters of attending the
university.
According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the
end of the second semester, registering for any further classes
at Cal State San Marcos will be
restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here
two semesters and you haven't
taken the test yet...get to it.
What is the purpose of the
CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an
attempt to bring everybody who
is a student here up to the same
level of computer skills, so that
when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know
that this set of students had these
particular skills."
The CCR covers five main
areas: computer concepts and
terminology, soft-ware ethics
and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email,
basic word processing, and basic
spreadsheet concepts.
Students are required to take
and pass all five sections with a
grade of " C" or better in order to
fulfill the requirement. Students
who don't pass a certain section
of the test only need to retake

�VARIETY
THE PRIDE
Off the beaten path
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
"So what are you going to do
now?" This is the question that
every graduate dreads as family
and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer,
of course, is to get a job and start
paying back those student loans,
but there are other options.
"Delaying the Real, World:
A Twentysomething's Guide to
Seeking Adventure," is a book
written by Colleen Kinder that
encourages new graduates to take
a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going
to work. Her mission is to get
young people to realize that there
is a small window of opportunity
for them to follow their passions
before they get tied down with a
career or a family.
Sometimes this generation of
"Twixters" is criticized for not
wanting to grow up and take on
responsibility, but traveling to
another country and getting a
job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a
fellowship offer for $2,500 from
www.delayingtherealworld.com
for someone who proposes a
unique and worthwhile adventure.
The fellowship might be a
longshot, but it is worthwhile
to pursue the idea of adventure.
There are many organizations
that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another
country (see box). They arrange
for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a
place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are
to teach English, and all you need
is your Bachelor's degree and a
TEFL Certificate, which takes
about a month to earn.
There are many advantages to
teaching or working in a foreign
country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and
the culture. You will have time to
really see something* other than
the usual tourist traps, and will
gain confidence in yourself by
facing unique situations.
Upon your return to the USA,
you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume
and show your potential employer
that you have the capability to
handle any challenges that may
come your way.
You do not have to go through
an agency to line up one of these
jobs, but your parents might feel
a little more comfortable about
, your adventure. Many potential
adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have
posted on message boards.

said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff,
and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by
the Environmental Protection
Agency for water quality.
Sekich said everyone in the
community contributes to urban
runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean
up effort, whether it be through
education, beach clean ups, or
awareness.
"For me, Earth Day is every

brings awareness to cigarette
filter pollution, and monitors
water conditions with their Blue
Water Task Force. They also

Are we supposed to recycle?"
Lopez asked after the video. Of
course, Sekich answered, and for

Free pizza and hot wings lured
students to a Surfrider celebration
for Earth Day yesterday put on by
the ASI Programming Board.
"For April, Earth Day was
the only important holiday I felt
needed to be addressed," said
Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she
organized the event.
Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called
"Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San
Diego and the world.
The video showed surfers
dropping into gorgeous waves
and clean water, contrasted by
images of Imperial Beach in
San Diego County where plastic
debris and other byproducts of
urban runoff cover the sand at a
disgusting rate.
The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S.
population lives within an hour
to the coast; these cities are built
in areas of the water cycle where
fallen rain collects oil, settled air
pollution, pesticides, fertilizers,
and other pollutants like cigarette
butts.

classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website
before registering for her classes. "It's
been really good," she said. "Actually, I
picked all of my teachers for this semester,
and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices."
"I think it's really good to have a peer
assessment from people who've had the
instructors previously," said Cindy Roper,
a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use
it responsibly." Although Roper has never
posted a review on a professor before, she
plans to this semester. "I have a teacher
that I don't feel is very qualified this year
and I think that if others can benefit from
that knowledge, I would like to tell them
about it," she said. Students from all over
the nation have been inspired, just like
Roper to tell of both their joys and their
grievances. "From students, the response
is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski.
So do the professors at CSUSM actually
look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure
they do. If I was on a website like that I'd
wanna see what people thought about me,"
said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I
don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf.
One professor admitted to looking at
her own posting and to those of her col-
Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn
student seeks Trigonometry teacher who
is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains
coursework clearly—andby the way, being
hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy
to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've
been looking for.
With over 530,000 professors rated by
former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on
their professors for free. Information is
easily accessible with regards to which
professors are student favorites, which are
easy graders and which ones you might
actually learn something from. These
features make RateMyProfessors.com a
handy tool when selecting future courses.
John Swapceinski, the president and
founder of the website, explained his
inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I
was attending San Jose State University in
Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class
with a particularly dastardly professor.
She was an unfair grader and downright
nasty to her students, so I decided to start
RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world
about her and other professors like her."
Seven years, and many other disgruntled
students later, Swapceinski's dream, has
most definitely been realized.
The website rates professor performance
in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

leagues. "I think it's always interesting
to find out what students think about how
we're doing and it's really important to
us... I'm always interested in getting more
specific information about what the class
is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and
writing department.
Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort
of thing that I place a lot of confidence in,
or that I would trust, or that I would allow
to influence any professional decisions or
activities with my colleagues and faculty,"
said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want
to make it very clear that I have a very low
opinion of this website."
When asked if professors should be
concerned about a website such as this,
McDuffie said, "To the extent that the
website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their
reputation as scholars, as teachers and as
people, then, yes, I think they have reasons
to be concerned about the website, just as
they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication
that would involve them. There's basically
no due process attached to the website."
Students don't just use this as a way to
criticize their professors. Teachers might
be pleased to find out that "over 65% of
the ratings are positive," according to the
website.
The people behind RateMyProfessors.
com maintain that the views expressed
on the website are purely the thoughts
and experiences of student contributors.
They acknowledge on their website that
although the ratings are not statistically
valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of
opinions and should be judged as such.
However we often receive emails stating
that the ratings are uncannily accurate,
especially for schools with over 1000 ratings."
Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's
only obligation is to the students. "Where
else can you find out what others think of
an instructor? When you have the option
of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really
like some information? It also gives you,
the user, a place to voice your opinion. It
gives you a place to make a difference in
your education," the website stated.
In the past, there have been attempts
to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted
by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty
much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said.
If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change
their perspective. "Think of this site as an
opportunity to hear what your students
normally keep secret from you."
One of the more lighthearted aspects of
the website is the hotness of the professor,
which is indicated by a chili pepper next to
the professor's name. While not taken as a
serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind
of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper.
Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the
humor in the hotness ranking and stated,
"I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers.
It's f un to see who got them. To try and
figure out what they're there for. In some
cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other
situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about
power and charisma."
While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students.
This website provides an open forum for
students to voice their opinions to other
students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching,
RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool
that you've been searching for. Have a hot
semester!

For The Pride
First off; I need to give some
props to the paper for its front
page, the breaking news from
last week: CSUSM RANKED
AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING.
Hot Damn.
I mean, best in recycling; I'm
still trying to catch my breath
from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is
recycling that big of a deal that
we need to proclaim it to the
world?
I know when I picked up the
paper and read the headlines I
almost fainted. And I also loved
the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about,
like the article of getting a job
a ffii graduation, gets a second
seat to the breaking recycling
news. I mean come on, is recy-
cling bigger than what we are all
here for, to better our education
and eventually get a job?
We are out here busting our
Asses trying to get good grades,
get a good education, and get a
degree, If recycling is-so damn
important that we need to back
page actual news that some students could learn from and use
to better their job acquiring
chances, then our priorities are
seriously down the drain.
Between the recycling and
the repetitive news about eating
disorders, I neariy put the paper
down and just walked away.
However I trudged on and kept
reading, and then I came to the
second page of the variety page,
and found Concert Etiquette.
I would expect to see Opera
Etiquette or Church Etiquette,
but aren't concerts the things
you go to where everyone is
f
just wfld and doesn't s eemto
give a rat's ass about what they
are doing for a brief couple of
hours?
Somebody needs to get back
to me on that one. Especially
if wearing deodorant and not
getting killed in the mosh pit
{which can easily be avoided if
you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going
to concerts, it will save you a lot
of "pouting time*' and money.
The paper is just filled with
advertisements, even though
Brian is doing an awesome job
selling the ads, it seems that the
paper quality still needs to grow,
because it doesn't matter how
many ads we sell or how many
coupons the reader can cut out
to get free tans, the articles still
need to improve. Including my
On the note of my own two
articles on Motorcycling and
Cultural Absorption (which the
title was misprinted, way to go
guys) I'll let you guys make
your own judgments.
And for the Zach's article,
which had a bitter, bitter tone,
I think that it's great that he is
voicing his opinion on "jocks"
and "dykes," but I think I could
have found a few choice words
to leave out.
And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props
to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the
Barkers" and the new 50 Cent
album both equal up to shit.
I mean come on, everyone
knows that 50 Cent has just
totally gotten too hyped up in
himself and we all saw this
coming after his first album
could stay in your CD play for
no more than ten minutes.
If TV and radio got any worse
I would imagine there would
be many more cults and mass
suicide groups for me to join.
I'm still counting down the
days until someone finally goes
berserk because they've seen
one too many celebrity reality
shows and goes on a shooting
rampage.
There were good things about
the paper, like the layout and
Jason really deserves credit for
it. The back page was awesome,
as a matter of fact the whole
arts and entertainment part had
ridiculously good layout
And a quick congrats to Derek
Heid, who did the Ombudsman
last week, for stepping up to the
plate, balls out and writing a
good critique.
Despite all the bitching about
sports and the constant battles,
the paper is improving and
I don't want to sound like a
broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that
note, I'm going to go sit back,
relax, and bid you farewell.
Want to tell me to go to hell?

Environmental Awareness Event as printed in the "4-1-1 even brings students information about the environment" article.
What is bugging youP
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
Most of the time I am a
fairly contented person cruising through life and running
my errands as expeditiously
as possible. Sometimes
though, I get to thinking a
little too much about the way
stores set up their "friendly"
policies.
Now I love to get my fix
of Starbucks at one of the
stores conveniently located
at approximately half-mile
increments from my job to
school, but one thing drives
me nuts. Why do they even
bother to ask your name and
misspell it on a cup when
they insist on shouting out
"non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only
one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be
really simple to just say your
name?
Blockbuster is even worse.
After they have checked out
your DVD's and you have
paid, they yell out your
selections loud enough
for everyone else to hear.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I just
chose those titles a few
moments before and I'm
pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out.
Is it some sort of insidious
plot to point out what a loser
you are on a Friday night by
yourself in a video store?
I guess I must be a grump,
because I think overfriendly
service in a store is annoying. For example, when I
walk into Millers Outpost,
they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you
doing today". Well, I might
be doing just fine, but I sure
don't feel like yelling back to
them. And, what if I am not
doing okay, am I supposed
to yell that back to them? I
would much rather be able to
find someone easily when I
need help, but somehow they
seem to mysteriously disappear.
On a different note, I don't
know if you have noticed,
but someone has kidnapped
all of the people who do
radio and TV voiceovers and
replaced them with one man
and one woman. You know
the voices. You hear them on
the Carl's Jr. commercial and
on car commercials. They
speak in a monotonous nasal
voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible.
The first time you hear
their voices it is different
and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use
their voices in about every
other commercial. In fact
the guy voice even took over
an entire radio station. Star
100.7 used to have a variety
of DJ's, but now this one guy
drones on about being "Jack"
and how they don't care if we
don't like what they play.
Well, I am glad "I don't
know Jack," because he
really bugs me. What is bugging you?

Service in

Phil Collin's
"Against All
Odds." With so
much going on in
everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^
and smaller, and as we interpret
the looks of fellow people around campus, and the
world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j
if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by
rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact
Jason Ëncabo / The Pride
that we are told to or because we need to?
Is love a necessity?
In short, yes.
This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life
will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this
to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing
the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and
never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened.
But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends
into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is
found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first
time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many
times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all
these times just a dream until we find our better halves?
Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn
around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while
others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle.
Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a
coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them.
Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love
is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to
find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the
eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent.
Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what
we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has
already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we
knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just
see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted?
No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like
everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of
make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and
when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a
flame.
Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a
small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on
this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us?
There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more
complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place
in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in
time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that
others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue.
Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where
to send them mason025@csusm.edu.
Please recycle this paper
is typically
understood
to be created-from,
whereas
Hate prefers to be
observed-by.
Nonetheless,
when considering
their shared primal and
political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker
than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs
and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons
through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of
blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly
in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its
_ _ _ _ _ usefulness.
And 7 is never
deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last.
1.) Ire
Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course
of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates
mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than
remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really
only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the
memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd
better.
2.) Spite
Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This
resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed,
lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually
dilute, if not expel the affliction.
3.) Offense
Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is
taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake
of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty
in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any
occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all
responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds
the act is rarely any kind of justice.
4.) Vengeance
If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward
regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual,
powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of
Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless
affair with foresight.
5.) Prejudice
The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species,
particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never
be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity
crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to
debasing causes.
6.) Genocide
This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete
surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a
species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood,
thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble
the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very
categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely,
would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything.
7.) Psychosis
The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their
eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even
if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed
onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence
demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach
from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional
approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The
key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as
a Psychotic.

Houses don't kill people,
people kill people.
That's where George Lutz is
mistaken.
Ryan Reynolds plays George
in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family
is cursed by living at 412 Ocean
Avenue in Long Island.
The movie is based on a true
story and the house was once a
mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used
to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham
supposedly slit his own throat so
that his soul would never leave
the property.
The movie begins by showing
the horror that happened in 1974,
when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered
his entire family in the house,
claiming that the voices told him
to do it.
Flash-forward and the movie
focuses on the next family,
the Lutzes, who move into the
house.
The graphical effects are
frighteningly good and may
sometimes even cause you to
jump in your seat. One example
is when George and his wife,
Kathy (Melissa George), are in
the middle of sex when he all of a
sudden sees a dead girl standing
behind her.
Unfortunately, the director
resorted to a few cheap tricks,
like moving magnets on the
refrigerator to spell out phrases,
blood seeping out of nooks and
crannies, and a provocative pot-
smoking babysitter.
But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing,
and George's dry humor brings
laughter to the times when the
director's overuse of emotional
bullshit would have otherwise
been unbearable.
This remake leaves out a few
details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot
Kidder that would have made the
plot even more interesting. For
example, George is supposed to
have an uncanny resemblance to
Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest
is supposed to go blind after visiting the house.
My suggestion would be to see
the 2005-version first, because
it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to
learn more about the story.

A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better.

love story. You will want to see Oliver
(Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda
Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the
screen.
The first couple of minutes were
slow, but the pace picked up during
Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy
Oliver falls for Emily immediately as
she humors his boyish innocence. They
meet up the next day, and spend the
afternoon together exchanging quirky
comments and spontaneous moments
that each would remember. Oliver finds
himself getting attached to a seemingly
uninterested Emily and tries to save
face, making a deal with Emily that
he will have a job, house and car all
wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six
years. They depart as the story unfolds
with more spontaneous outings on New
Year's, and a road trip that lands them
naked in a National Park.
Yet, getting to know each other better
as friends sparks a romance that neither
is willing to admit—until it may be too
late.
The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for
Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't
help but love, and Peet is entertaining
with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is
extremely fascinating to watch. This is
espiecially because many scenes looked
as though they were un-scripted, which
added to the cohesiveness between the
two characters.
Although this film contains some
unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from
the rest giving a few real laughs, and
good feelings rather than a gag reflex.

Hopes to Open by
Feb. 14
Valentine's Day looks to be the opening day of spring semester for earthquake
damaged CSU Northridge, which has suffered an estimated $150 million in damage
from the 6.6 January 17th Northridge quake.
Park o n ^ i f i l i i l l
There were no injuries or fatalities on
the campus, but the building damage is extensive. The library and science buildings suffered significant damage. The South Library
which houses the campus computing center
has been condemned and Science Buildings 1
and 2 experienced chemical fires. The 2,447parking structure is destroyed. Most of the
University Park Apartments are stable but
will require repairs before students can move
back in.
Because so many buildings are not
safe, the campus will rent nearly 300portable
trailers to use for classroom and faculty o ffice
sp&ce. Gov. Wilson also said that they will
rent nearby offices and use other colleges and
schools for classes.
The Latino Association of Faculty and
Staff and the Associated Students of CSU
San Marcos have joined hands in providing
disaster relief to our neighbors, friends and
relatives in the Los Angeles area.
According to CSUSM's Chief of Police, Arnold P. Trujillo, a grand total of $ 1,227
was collected. The money will be donated to
the American Red Cross with the request that
"this money be used to assist the earthquake
victims in the Los Angeles area," says Trujillo.
Chief Trujillo and Public Safety Officers Bob Wheeler and Dave Ross were at the
scene the Monday morning of the earthquake
offering assistance to local law enforcement
at the Northridge campus site.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all
the people in the Los Angeles area.

Campus Survey to be
Conducted
CSUSM will be participating
in the systemwide survey of students, the fourth Student Needs and
Priorities Survey (SNAPS-94).
There have been three surveys prior
to SNAPS-94; the last was conducted in 1989. All CSU campuses
participated in SNAPS-89 with the
exception of San Diego State. All
20 campuses will be participating
in SNAPS-94.
In administering the survey,
each campus will follow a uniform
procedure which consists of surveying a sample of students in randomly selected courses during the
middle of the Spring. At CSUSM
we will start the survey process in
late February or early March. We
will survey about 750 students in
order to submit at least 500 completed surveys.
Surveys are submitted to the
Chancellor's Office and the responses are used to develop a
systemwide report which helps the
CSU present an accurate picture of
its student body in a public and
systematic way. In 1989 800 copies
of the SNAPS report were distrib-

uted nationally to public and private entities. Some of the information in the Executive Summary of
the 1989 SNAPS report indicates
that over two-thirds of CSU students were also employed and a
majority of respondents were classified as "commuter students."
Among the problems impeding students' efforts to achieve their educational goals, personal factors were
cited more frequently than institutional factors; financial problems
were ranked most often by 44 percent of the respondents. Among 18
potential campus reforms, the option to "offer summer courses at
regular fees" was chosen by 40 percent of the sample; the second most
popular reform was to "improve the
parking situation."
Each campus will receive a
dataset of the responses submitted
by its students so that analysis can
take place campus by campus. Responses are, of course, confidential
and data will be reported only in
aggregate form. The CSUSM data
should help all of us better understand the needs and opinions of our
students.
Institute
The Writing Center staff wants to
welcome all returning and new students
to a friendly place that helps to advance
written academic assignments—the Writing Center. The doors opened Feb. 9 at
9 AM.
The tutor corps of the Writing
Center offers a skilled group of students
whose foundation in writing theory and
practices come from English494 (Theory
and Practice of College Writing). The
tutors aim to foster academic quality
writing from the painless perspective of
a good friend who is interested in advaDcirig meaningful written analysis and
creative expression. Students at any
phase of an assignment—brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection—are all part of the tutorial staff s
field of experience.
Please feel free to come by the
Writing Center and see how we can help.

to which the Cal State Student Association
had objected. A press conference was held on
Dec. 7 at SDSU by Gina Nunez, V.P. of
External A ffairs at SDSU and myself,
Michelle Sadova. The focus was to encourage Wilson to place higher education within
a category of immediate attention rather than
focusing on the construction of prisons as a
way to remedy crime. He responded, "As
Governor, I 've opened five new prisons.
Tonight, I propose that we offer $2 billion
worth of bonds to build six more. There will
be those who protest such costs. They'll
complain that they would prefer to spend the
money on higher education rather than more
prisons. Well, so would I. But this is not a
matter of choice."

Joseph Bear to Assist
University with
Fundraising Efforts
President Bill W. Stacy announced the
appointment of Joseph E. Bear as Acting
Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The adoption of CSU Trustee policy
asks each CSU campus to raise—over time—
in excess of 10 percent above and beyond its
state funds appropriation.
Mr. Bear, who recently retired as a
Senior Vice President from Hughes Aircraft
and as Chair of San Diego's United Way,
will join us for the remainder of the fiscal
year in the manner of United Way's "loaned
executive." That is, he will donate his time
to the university at no salary or benefits.
Bear was asked to accept the title of a
position recommended by the Chancellor
and adopted by the Trustees in their action
last week. He will be asked to assist the
university in its push during the remainder of
the year to meet its 1994 fundraising goals
and to assist in developing a strategic plan
that addresses the campus responsibility to
raise nearly $2.5 million for 1994-95 and
Bear will coordinate the University's efforts in fundraising, public affairs, and alumni
relations. Assisting Bear will be Jane Lynch in
Development, Norma Yuskos in Public Affairs
and, to a small extent, Tanis Brown in developing Alumni Affairs. Hugh La Bounty, another
distinguished volunteer to the campus, will
continue to provide senior leadership to the
emerging University Foundation in its responsibilities to develop and manage earned income
auxilliaries.

Computer Competency
Requirement—source of
student concern
K arin Foster
Staff Writer
CSUSM has a requirement that like the
writing requirement, is unique from other state
universities—the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). CSUSM requires that every
student fulfill this requirement before the end
of their second semester at CSUSM. Originally, this requirement coordinated with
CSUSM's writing requirement. Faculty wanted
to be assured that students knew how to use a
word processor and could apply this skill in
producing the 2,500 word writing assignment
required in every class. The second semester
deadline meant that students would be computer literate early in their studies at CSUSM.
Mary Atkins, Labs and Computer Competency Coordinator, explained that students can
fulfill the CCR in a variety of ways. Students
can take an approved course at a community
college, take a computer exam, or take a computer course at CSUSM that fulfills the requirement. Before taking a computer course at a
community college, students should check with
Admissions and Records for a list of all applicable classes. Those students wishing to fulfill
the CCR through an exam can also take a
workshop to help them prepare for the exam.
Many students opt to take a computer class
here at CSUSM. This semester the Computer
Science Department offered 14 classes that met
the CCR requirement. Of these, nine sections
of CS 304 were offered. This class examines
computer issues and provides basic computer
skills.
However, not all students have been completely satisfied with these computer classes.
Students who have taken CS 304 do not feel the
class has made them computer literate. The
semester divides basic computer knowledge
with word processing, spreadsheets, database
and computer programming. The amount of
material covered in one semester does not al-
low the student to gain ample skills in any
specific area. Atkins explained that CS 304
does not aim to make students computer
literate. "Hopefully, students will take what
they learn and run with it." CS 304 acts as an
introductory course which offers students
basic computer instruction. Students who
had little computer experience will still need
to develop their computer skill after completing this course.
Other students have voiced concerns about
classes having more students than available
computers. Similar to learning to drive, learning to use a computer requires hands-on experience. Students enrolled in computer
classes feel their computer time in class is
restricted. Atkins explained that this situation is typical at universities stating that "the
concept of one computer for every person is
unusual." Students taking computer classes
should expect to spend time in the computer
lab or with their home computer in order to
strengthen their skills.
Those students who have not fulfilled the
CCR should be aware that this requirement
must be completed by the end of their second
semester. For those students who make a
strenuous effort to completely avoid computers, Atkins advises, "Don't procrastinate.
People should not feel intimidated by the
Computer CompetencyRequirement. This
school makes a conscious effort to help people
pass; however, this does not mean waiving
the requirement."
The original goal of computer literacy for
all students by their second semester at
CSUSM may have been a little optimistic.
However, most students will have at least
developed alittle computer knowledge. They
should know how to turn one on.

LOVE CAREFULLY DURING
VALENTINE'S WEEK
S usan M endes, LYN
Health Education Assistant
The week of February 14 -18 is designated by the American College Health Association as National Condom Week. This
seems especially appropriate for a holiday
celebrating love and romance.
In conjunctipn with this theme, the Student Health Services Health Education Department and Student Health Advisory Board
are hosting a number of events on campus.
On Monday, Feb. 14, S.H.A.B. Members will be giving out safer sex information
and free condoms at a table in Founders'
Plaza. Also there will be film viewing in
Commons206from 11 A M-1 PM. Students
may drop in during these hours to view short
film segments or they may stay for the entire
presentation.
On Tuesday, Feb. 15, five North County
AIDS Organizations will have information
tables in Founders' Plaza from 10 AM - 2
PM and will be available to answer questions
about their free services. In the event of rain,
they will be in Commons 206 from 1 PM —
3 PM. In addition, Martha Baron will be
displaying J ohnny's Quilt and showing a
touching video interview about a family that
died of AIDS.
On Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 11 AM
t pl PM in Founders' Plaza, Earl Storm will
present information on the " Don't Duck
Responsibility" campaign from the non-profit
Stepping Stone Project. The program has
HIV information and graphics, including a
cartoon depicting Buckminster Duck, who is
the program mascot. The object of the pro-
gram is to educate the community on the direct
risk between alcohol use and HIV transmission and progression. The group presents a
caring and rational approach to responsible
behavior.
Also on Wednesday, there will be an HIV
Awareness lecture in Commons 206 from
2 PM—3PM. Based on the Red Cross format,
the lecture will be followed by a question and
answer session.
EVENTS SCHEDULE
J oel G rinolds, M D, M PH
Unless you have been stuck on a tropical
island over the past few months, you probably
have heard or read many reports on Health
Care Reform. Numerous approaches to reform are being discussed, offering everything
from incremental reform and single payer
systems (like the Canadian model) to the complex and far-reaching Clinton plan. Clinton's
plan and others are now being discussed in
Congress and some movement is expected in
this term.
Conceptually, there seems to be agreement on several aspects that should be important to students including universal coverage,
standard benefits, quality standards, insurance reform, antitrust and liability reform,
eligibility for all applicants,federal subsidies
for poor/low income participants, administrative simplification, improved purchasing
power of consumers, maintaining a variety of
providers (Health Maintenance Organizations,
fee for service, hybrids) encouragement of
primary, preventive, and managed care.
The various plans d iffer on the following
elements: mandatory employer-paid premiums, mandatory participation in regional alliances (without getting into detail, the alliances would pool consumers into a large
purchasing group then bargain with local
health plans for low-cost quality care), cost
controls, plan costs.
Although health care reform will have a
major impact on students, the reformers initially did not include the 13-14 million post
secondary education population or their existing health care system (i.e., Student Health
Centers) in their deliberations or specifically
in their plans.
What does reform mean for college health?
In short, nobody really knows. This probably
could be said for the general population. The
good news is that potentially all students will
have access to medical care. Also, the emphasis in reform is the provision of comprehensive primary and preventive medical care
which is the major objective of college health.
The American College Health Association and others have identified key players in
health care reform on Capital Hill and has
developed an informativepacket and a letter
that identifies key concerns. The packet also
describes the unique health care needs of the
college health population and the Student
Health Service model that currently provides
accessible, affordable, prevention-oriented
primary care as well as health education to
the broader campus community.
Stay tuned. Generally it is thought that a
plan will not be implemented quickly. However, it surely will have an impact. In future
columns I will discuss the plan or plans and
their impact as they unfold. For further
information, Dr. Grinolds can be reached at
Student Health Services, 752-4915.

�G iving a nd G etting— t he
r ewards o f v olunteering
C laire K . L angham
Service-Learning Coordinator
Katherine Johnson-LeVesque loves to
inform others about volunteer opportunities.
She enjoys being part of a solution, developing skills, and learning about new things. She
has designed the logo for CSUSM's Volunteer Day, Saturday, February 26, 1994.
Katherine, a senior, majors in psychology
with a minor in women's studies. Volunteering is central in her life. She explains that,
"Volunteering has a ripple effect. What I
have found is that the people I help, eventually help someone else."
"Giving has always felt
good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another"
Learning how things work motivates
Katherine. For example, she volunteered to
work at the UC San Diego HIV Neuro-Behavioral Research Center. As a volunteer
providing clerical support and data input in
the psychiatry department, she observed the
process of research design, data collection
and publication, as well as how psychological testing was conducted.
Becoming a part of the solution instead of
just talking about a problem encapsulates
Katherine's philosophy. For the past five
years, she has been lecturing in the community and at local community colleges informing people about the effects of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse on individuals and society. Her goal is to bring about
social change through raising public con-
sciousness and encouraging people to get
into treatment so that the devastating effects
of trauma in the family can be alleviated.
Katherine currently volunteers with several groups. In addition to her educational
presentations described above, she also provides support, guidance, and referrals for
survivors of abuse. At Being Alive, an HTV/
AIDS women and children's resource center,
she volunteers as a receptionist and assists
clients and their families tq deal with their
emotional adjustment, Wfiether "infected" or
" affected" by this disease. This year,
Katherine is the Program Coordinator for the
PTA at Hickman Elementary School. Ethnic
Diversity, Women's History, AIDS Education, and Dad's Involvement in Children's
Education are among the programs she has
created. These topics were inspired by courses
she has taken at CSUSM.
Most recently, Katherine developed a 4
hour program for her daughter's 6th grade
GATE (gifted) program on the physiology of
the brain. Using a sheep's brain, she taught
students its anatomy and functions. She
explained that since no one's brain works
perfectly , we are all slightly different, unique,
and that each of us has something special to
offer.
With the strong belief that you can make
lemonade out of lemons, Katherine has volunteered in the past with assistance to the
homeless and to immigrants, in designing
and sewing clothes for the disabled, in teaching puppeteering, crafts, and cooking through
her church youth and women's groups, visiting the elderly, and tutoring in the elementary
school classrooms.
"Anyone can overcome loneliness and
add interest to their lives," Katherine stresses.

"Giving has always felt good to me and I like
connecting to the spirit of another. I have a lot
to be thankful for, and like to use my talent
and capabilities to assist others."
In this spirit, Katherine is an active participant of the Outreach Sub-Committee of
the Service-Learning Committee planning
for Volunteer Day on campus on Saturday,
February 26,1994.
For the future, Katherine plans to continue her volunteer activities and to develop a
scholarship especially f or disadvantaged
youth who come from a background of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. Her motivation
is to help these youth create new and better
lives for themselves.
While Katherine was volunteering at an
outpatient center for severely depressed and
schizophrenic patients, one of the men remarked after listening to Katherine tell about
her activities, that she must be extremely
organized to "do it all!" That marked the first
time that Katherine reflected on the effectiveness of her time management and prioritizing
in everything she does. And, yes, she still
spends quality time with her family and enjoys her life. Enjoying volunteering makes
life more meaningful and more fun!
OLUNTEER DAY
Saturday, February 26
�Circle K lends time at Vista Soup Kitchen
C laire K . L angham
Service-Learning Coordinator
Volunteer Day is not until
the end of this month, but members
of Circle K have been volunteering
their services to help others weekly.
Ann Garman, President of Circle
K, not only directs club activities,
but personally becomes involved
in community service. Among the
30 m embers, C atherine Yeats
spearheaded getting C SUSM's
c lub to volunteer at the Soup
Kitchen on Thursday evenings in
Vista's Grace Presbyterian Church.
At Circle K 's weekly meetings on campus, students sign up to
help serve meals at this local soup
kitchen.
Wendy Dresher has been
helping 2 or 3 times a month for
several months. She observed,
' The first time people go there,
they anticipate that everyone is
homeless - but that is not the case.
For some, their social security or
other limited income runs out before the end of the month and they
haven't enough for food."
Scott Morey went to assist
at the soup kitchen for the first
time last week and will be going to
help again.
"It is very rewarding to go
there and help people who are
needy because they are so appreciative," Wendy added.
Kevin Kilpatrick emphasized the same comment. Kevin
said that he can really relate to the
homeless. "They are just like the
rest of us - they have hopes and
dreams, and have experienced disappointments too."
Wendy went on to explain,
"By the end of the month, there are
about 70 people of all ages, from
newborns to elderly, at the soup
kitchen. Most people though, are
between thirty and forty years old.'4
Kevin talks with the homeless. "The homeless are people
too. We have intelligent conversations with them." The people
who come to the soup kitchen ask
the Circle K student volunteers
about their university experience-—
what they are studying and their career goals.
Kevin described avoidance as
people's typical behavior toward the
homeless. In contrast, he asks them
if they are staying warm at night,
especially with the cold winter nights.
"When it rains, its very wet unless
they can find an overhang." Kevin
acknowledges that there are a f ew
homeless we should b e wary of, but
this is also the case with people in
general.
The interesting thing that
Kevin notes is that there is a real
camaraderie among the homeless
—they look out for one another. He
added, "These people are really appreciative of the assistance provided. They piteh in and help with
the cleanup afterwards. It shows
that they are not j ust taking advantage of society's generosity."
If you are interested in knowing more about Circle K, please

Richard Harvey, Sigma Phi Delta's Public Relations Officer
The ground was still shaking
w ith a ftershocks w hen R ichard
Harvey, Sigma Phi D elta's Public
Relations Officer started organizing a
fund-raiser tohelp Los Angeles Earthquake victims.
Sigma Phi Delta, a social and
charitable fraternity at CSUSM designed a fund-raiser that allows us to
enjoy the beautiful southern California coastline while helping our neighbors to the north.
Buy o ne t hree-hour w halewatching ticket f or $ 15 and $5 will be
donated to the Los Angeles Quake
Relief Fund while $10 will go to
Apollo Charters. Captain JeffJohnson
has agreed to run the fund-raiser
through March 15,1994. The Apollo
is an all-aluminurn 65 foot 22 inch
sports fisher with a full galley and
sleeping quarters for 30, "just in
case you get sea sick" said Harvey.
The boat is certified to accommodate 94 whale watchers.
Harvey chose the Apollo for
several reasons. "It holds 94. It is
one of the nicest boats and Captain
Jeff Johnson was most generous in
working with me." Harvey said.
Radio stations KCEO (95.9
FM) and KCET (1000 AM) interviewed Sigma Phi Delta last Sunday. The fraternity spoke about
CSUSM and promoted their whalewatching fund-raiser at the same
time. The radio interview is on reserve in the school archives section
of the CSUSM library.
Sigma Phi Delta is now coordinating group trips aboard the
Apollo.
Harvey was approached by
Japanese students at UCSD who
are interested in an English as A
Second Language whale-watching
trip. Harvey is currently working
o naCSUSMFaculty whale-watching excursion.
Tickets must be bought in
advance and are available for purchase from any Sigma Phi Delta
member. For more information call
967-6523.
After "raising as much money
as possible" for the Earthquake Relief Fund, Harvey will organize a
benefit for the Association of
Retarded Citizens (ARC).
Sigma Phi Delta may host an Open
Invitational Miniature Golf Championship in April with proceeds
going to ARC.

Volunteer Day on Saturday, Feb. 26,
1v marks another first for this new cam-994,
pus. California State University San Marcos
has a special role in the North San Diego
County area, and in the spirit of community
partnership, the university initiates and offers programs to further intellectual, professional, and personal development within
the diverse community which it serves.
Volunteer Day activities on Saturday
Feb. 26, 1994, in the spirit of community
partnership, center around youth, the environment, the elderly, a museum exhibit,
and assistance with tax preparation for lowincome individuals.
The kick-off rally is in Commons 206
from 8 to 9 AM. Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau,
who has proclaimed Feb. 26,1994 as Volunteer Day in the City of San Marcos, will
participate. Volunteer activities start at 9
and continue to noon both on campus and in
the community.
Many CSUSM clubs and organizations
are volunteering their time to assist the next
generation to envision a university education in their future. They are joining together to provide campus tours and funfilled workshops to youngsters invited from
San Marcos schools, Boys and Girls Clubs,
and Key Clubs from the surrounding community. The following clubs are participating: the Liberal Studies Student Association, the Computer Club, the Student California Teachers Association, Circle K, the
Silver Shield, El Club de las Americas,
M.E.Ch.A., the Association of Business
Students, and the Pan African Student
Alliance.
Environmental volunteer service is at
nearby Discovery Lake Park. Earth Club,
the Associated Students, and the 3-D orga-
nization along with a Girl Scout troop, will
focus their services on sprucing up the park
and creating a nature display.
The Accounting Society will help low
income individuals with their tax preparation, and the Argonaut Society will prepare a
new exhibit for the San Marcos Historical
Society and Museum. Key College Opportunities plans to continue their services to seniors in San Marcos. The Knights also plan
to continue with their c lub's involvement in
Special Olympics.
English language students from Japan
will join in a variety of the on-going activities. The Japanese Culture Exchange Club is
planning a potluck for the volunteers after all
events have been completed that day.
Students from Soc 309 Aging and Society, as part of Service-Learning in the course,
will assist at the Elder/Adult Care Annual
Public Forum sponsored by the San Marcos
Family Care Commission at the San Marcos
Joslyn Senior Center.
Participation is welcome and students,
staff, and faculty can sign up in the Associated Students Office to join in activities organized by CSUSM clubs and associations.
Many hands not only make the work lighter,
but more enjoyable.
Volunteer Day will provide an opportunity for students and our local community to
participate in cooperative services. These
activities fulfill several university goals including outreach and cooperation with our
broader community, promotion of civic pride
and responsibility, and initiation of contacts
f or service-learning. A number of our faculty
are encouraging service-learning in their
classes to link real-life experience through
service to the theories and concepts taught in
the course.

The Service-Learning Committee enthusiastically anticipates upcoming guest
lecturer, Dwight Giles, of Vanderbilt University. Giles will be speaking at CSUSM
on Monday, Feb. 21 and Tuesday, Feb. 22.
Giles, an expert in the field of servicelearning, has been granted a three-year
FIPSE grant dealing with learning outcomes
in the field of service-learning.
His talk entitled, "What Is This Thing
Called Service-Learning: Working Through
Definitional Confusion," will be addressed
to the CSUSM campus on Feb. 21 from
Noon-1:30 PM. Everyone is invited to
attend.
This month the California Center for the
Arts, Escondido, designated 9,000 square
feet of gallery space at the $75 million arts
center as the California Center for the Arts
Musuem.

humanistic in purpose, which will own, study,
care for, and regularly exhibit and interpret
works of art to the public.
The new museum will curate exhibitions
of regional, national and international artists
and host traveling exhibitions, as well as
establish a Permanent Collection of art from
the 20th century, with an emphasis on American and regional art.

CSUSM Writing Requirement
-mindless labor or intellectual growth
Roy Latas
Legislature Sidesteps the Real Issues
Staff Writer
Students* interests in issues such as
free speech, child care and Student Union
fees gain and lose momentum, yet the All
University Writing Requirement (AUWR)
constantly sparks opinions from students and
faculty. The initial grousing of first semester
students translates to praise and thanks from
graduating seniors.
Up to this point in our academic careers, there has been a general lack of emphasis on English composition skills in American education which has caused American
industrial and economic institutions to question the academic standards that allow colleges and universities students to graduate
without adequate writing skills. CSUSM is
trying to remedy this situation with the
AUWR. The definition of the AUWR, as
stated in the 1992-1993 University Catalog,
is: "Students are advised to note that every
course at California State University, San
Marcos has a writing requirement component of2,500 words. This requirement can be
filled in a variety of ways, depending on the
course." This impersonal sounding writing
r equirement r epresents the F ounding
Faculty's intention of creating a graduating
population instilled with exemplary writing
skills. They hoped the AUWR would furnish
a mechanism that insured all graduates received sufficient opportunity to use and improve their writing skills.
The AUWR makes it necessary for all
students to write within a variety of disciplines in varying contexts from literature to
biology. The Founding Faculty also understood the demand for clear, concise, and
logically written communication in the postgraduate areas of employment and graduate
school, as well as in family and social contexts.
The implementation of the AUWR
takes a variety of forms depending on the
discipline and faculty member. A common
form is the 2,500 word paper. Here, the
student makes an in-depth study of a particular topic and presents a detailed report that
condenses many information sources into a
3 Strikes You're Out
clear and compact analysis. Other faculty
members may assign several smaller papers
during the semester, thereby reducing student stress levels, as well as the instructor's
laborious task of grading multitudes of long
papers at one time.
The format of a paper or assignment
presents an infinite array of possibilities. Some
professors employ written work in the form
of diaries, screenplays, journals, letters, or
novella, promoting a new critical frame for
the student to exercise his or her analytical
perspective. These formats challenge the
students' minds to realize alternative connections within the subject matter while increasing the students' creative freedom, and making the task less intimidating.
The journal is the most popular alternative form of writing. Journal entries are
devoted to the preceding week's discussions;
the journal condenses the student's comprehension of new material while allowing the
professor an insight into the absorption of
lecture information. The journal entries allow the professor to understand when issues
are cloudy and make adjustments or reviews
when necessary.
The faculty relies on the AUWR to
furnish students with an additional opportunity to decipher what they learn through writing, and reassemble classroom information
in a way that demonstrates understanding of
the concepts. Writing theorist Peter Elbow
calls this process "cooking.' "Cooking means
getting material to interact." The interaction
of thoughts creates new material that the
student can interpret which may include segments of classroom experience and personal
insight. This process is assimilation not memorization. The student undergoes a metamorphosis through conceptual analysis. Elbow
also reminds his readers that "[g]rowing
means getting words to evolve through
stages," not overnight.
The intent of the AUWR is growth
within the student, and we all have felt some
growing pains. However, our new stature has
the foundation of improved writing skills.

In theory, it is difficult to argue
against any of the five "3 Strikes and
You're Out" crime bills currently in front
of the California state senate. All the bills
guarantee stiffer sentences for any criminal convicted of a second violent felony
and life imprisonment if convicted of a
third. Certainly, violent crime has reached
epidemic proportions in American society and it is obvious that something must
be done. The "3 Strikes" concept has
provided politicians with an unprecedented opportunity to look tough on crime
without alienating any powerful voting
lobby. Even President Clinton, in a State
i of the Union address otherwise dedicated
to health care and welfare reform, received his biggest bipartisan applause by
reiterating his support of such a bill on the
federal level.
It is wise, though, (as it is with
anything to which all politicians pay carefully calculated lip service) to maintain a
healthy skepticism about the rash of current crime legislation. In California, the
"3 Strikes" frenzy was fueled in large part
by the murder of Polly Klaas, the young
child kidnapped from her living room and
brutally killed by aconvicted felon. Klaas'
story mesmerized the nation, in large part
because it symbolized the encroachment
of violent crime into suburbia. "Are our
children no longer safe in their own
homes?" parents everywhere wondered.
Many of those parents had political pull,
and the conviction that something must be
done to keep violent criminals behind bars
and out of our neighborhoods eventually
reached the state legislature.
The Klaas case was a horrible tragedy. But horrible tragedies are the norm in
many of our inner cities, a fact which
seems to have escaped our governmental
leaders for quite some time. A child in
Watts has not been safe in her own living
room for a long time now. She has not been
safe on her way to school, in her classroom,
on the playground or on her way home.
She has been forced to live with the fact
that violence is a way of life in her community. Streets burned, buildings were looted,
a city was ignited and the California legislature did nothing to address crime in the
inner city. There has been no legislation
aimed at creating economic opportunities
for the young people in Los Angeles most
likely to turn to crime. There has been no
increase in police protection in urban areas
plagued by constant gang warfare. There
has been no attempt to stop crime before it
starts by engaging in the kind of honest
discourse about values and community that
elected officials are so afraid of. The same
politicians who turned their back as our
cities turned into war zones now purport to
end crime as we know it by guaranteeing a
few stiffer sentences. I t's not a bad first
step, but i t's hardly enough and i t's long
overdue.

The future of Higher Education
Hatred Is Alive and Well
M ary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in- Chief
Dear Editor:
I want to acknowledge a writer among us
who chooses to communicate a detestable
message. I found this message written on
toilet paper—CSUSM toilet paper, in a lavatory here on campus:
"HOMOS SHOULD NOT BE
TOLERATED
GAY BASHING IS THE CURE"
I find this message disturbing enough
that I refrain from signing my name out of
concern for personal safety. Although I
believe that college might help open this
person's mind, I feel sad, regardless of my
views on homosexuality (tolerance of those
different from me), that someone among us
declares hatred in this vile and covert way.
Rather than engage in open debate, the writer
chose to display his hatred anonymously.

The Pride is s^iiciting ^oiur jparjtici^atioh
in am on-going dialogue on issues facing
universities arid colleges today. Input from
faculty, $tudeiits;staff and the business community is Invited to explore the future of
higher education,
A recent is^ueof the Economist referred
to today- s/universities as "towers of babble"
raising serious issues facing higher education. What are the goals of universities
today? Are they meeting the needs of the
marketplace? What should be the purpose of
a tax-supported institution?
The public university, like other government institutions, is slow to change. Revered
as instruments of enlightenment in the past,
today government treats higher education
like an inefficient Nationalized industry.
Once considered the engine of economic
growth, today's university is becoming a
dinosaur, concerned more with image than
impafct te^^^
away from tiiii#rsities for advice and rese^rcto; turning to think-tanks such as the
ffiritafe^'F^ndation^-CATO Institute and
l&ftnci^^
The' taostfre-,
quejiteom^
are
t hat'toiyersilies -We f illed with 1960s
dogooders and that "academics rarely give
'y^u^ fWiinoney ;.»[and] star professors are
perpetually on sabbatical."
With fees skyrocketing, and college enrollment declining, what docs the future hold
ifor tdmoitow's college graduate? The computer is probably partially responsible. An
enormous array of information is available at
the fingertips of every nimble typist with a
modem for a fraction of the cost of a college
education. By way of Compuserve, Prodigy
and Internet we can access thousands of online databases and hold discussions with
experts from around the globe.
Video tape is another medium which
offers practical, educational applications for
a fraction of the cost of a college education.
Palomar College introduced the TV course,
where you can study accounting, anthropology or Spanish in the comfort of your home.
Rising costs and declining revenues are
forcing universities to re-evaluate priorities.
University costs, according to The Economist, rise much faster than inflation because
they are labor intensive (wages rise faster
than prices). Even Ivy League colleges are
teetering on alienating the middle class, leaving these legendary institutions to the idle
rich. Politicians are questioning whether the
money could better be spent on other things.
Private industry has been much better at
harnessing the information revolution than
its public-sector counterparts. The market
must adapt quickly to the needs of J N
marketplace, or die. Tlie combination of
academic tenure and cumbersome decision-making tends to preserve old institutions rather than expand or create new
ones. •
%
Governments bent on reform are looking at three popular strategies. The first
uses the market approach with government
playing the role of the purchaser, By
linking funding to performance and separating research funds from money for teaching, government has provided two distinct
ways of boosting a university's i ncomeincreasing the number of pupils or improving the quality of their research. British
universities are pursuing these different
avenues for survival producing remarkable results within a short period of time.
Oxford, Cambridge and the like, emphasizeresearch. The next top 10 schools have
a mix of both research and a teaching
focus, while a third group focuses primarily on teaching. While academics regard
thisas an affront to their dignity, this scheme
- A second approach in cutting costs is to
simply shift funds to cheaper institutions
like community colleges and innovative
sources of higher education, like workstudy programs, distance learning, and
getting credit for life and work experience.
A third strategy is for universities to
diversify their funding. Rather than relying solely on government funds, universities should market their research to local
industry. In the U.S., industry-sponsored
research has more than quadrupled in the
past decade. This would serve to create a
better rapport with the business community, and attract funding as well as provide
a purpose for graduates. Raising fees is
another way to diversify funding. While
critics complain that this would curtail
expansion, in Britain, "free" education has
done little to bring the hordes to the sanctuary. The fact remains that local, state and
federal governments are putting a limit on
educational funding.
Universities must accept the fact that
governments are becoming increasingly
reluctant to fund higher education.
California's school system once satisfied private industry s demand for technical
research, physicists, chemists and engineers that fueled the dramatic growth of the
California economy. These positions are
now predominantly staffed by foreigntrained graduates.
Can higher education meet the needs of
an ever-changing marketplace?
�I'll Take Anything" holds up despite drastic
revisions
66T?
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
It is no secret that James L. Brooks'
new film I'll Do Anything began life as a fullfledged Holly wood musical. It was an ambitious idea, but test audiences were so turned
off by the musical numbers that Brooks felt
compelled to rework the entire film. The
director edited and reshot to such a degree
that the only semblance remaining of the
film's previous incarnation is a solitary song
T M ouie
R euiew
by five year old Whittni Wright.
The film holds up surprisingly well
after such drastic revision, mainly on the
strength of the acting and Broolcs' ear for
witty and insightful dialogue.
Nick Nolte heads the cast, portraying a
down-on-his-luck actor forced to take in the
six year old daughter he hasn't seen for two
years. Albert Brooks is an action film producer obsessed with the bottom line and Julie
Kavner is a public opinion pollster who runs
tests screenings and can utter nothing but the
truth. Wright is truly a discovery as the
bratty, precocious child with whom Nolte
must re-establish a bond.
The plot is unimportant in a film such
as this, where most of the pleasure comes in
watching the actors inhabit their roles. Nolte
is outstanding as a likable guy struggling to
come to terms with the realities of parenthood
and Hollywood at the same time; the best
scenes in the film are between Nolte and
Wright. Their exchanges seem genuine and
honest because the characters have been so
well crafted and written with such care. The
laughter and tears this father—daughter relationship invokes are not easy and sentimental; the actors earn the sentiment.
Less successful is the subplot involving a romance between Brooks and Kavner.
Both actors are superb, especially Brooks.
His producer character could easily have been
a stock stereotype, an easy villain for a film
about the film industry. But, perhaps because
the director is also himself a producer, the
role is given complexity and even a degree of
likableness. It is not difficult to see why the
kind, giving character played by Kavner would
be attracted to such a person. But the romance is inadequately explored. Perhaps this
is the area where the music played an integral
role and the reshooting and editing couldn't
completely cover that gap.
Nonetheless, I'll Do Anything is an
extremely likable, well-written film about a
group of interesting, complex people. It is
difficult to imagine the movie as a musical,
which is probably a tribute to Brooks editing
ability and an indication that he ultimately
made the correct decision.

�Poli Sci Professor Talks
on Crime in the Black
Community
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Photo/Carlos Mariscal
As a kick-off for Black History month,
political science professor Dr. Edward Thompson i n delivered a lecture on crime in the
black community. Dr. Thompson took a
critical look at public policy regarding crime,
and the impact this legislation will have on
the African-American community.
As the economy begins to recover, politicians have started shifting their focus from
economic concerns to the issues of crime and
violence. President Clinton reflected this
trend in his address to the nation. Dr. Thompson commented that the President's " Three
Strikes You're Out' was the centerpiece of
the President's State of the Union address."
The proposed "Three Strikes You're
Out" legislation would sentence offenders
convicted of a third violent felony to mandatory life imprisonment. Thompson criticized
this type of legislation as representing "an
imbalance between punishment and prevention." He argued that this policy would have
minimal effects on crime, while depleting
funds that could be used to address critical
social needs. Furthermore, this legislation
would most negatively effect the AfricanAmerican community.
Thompson argues that legislators who
support these bills use "faulty assumptions."
Supporters declare that high imprisonment
rates will lessen crime. In fact, Thompson
stated studies prove the opposite is true. States
that have the highest rate of incarceration
have the most violent crime, while states that
have the lowest rates have less violent crime.
According to Thompson, supporters of
PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS
S LICK R OADS
the "Three Strike" policy also promote the idea that mandatory sentencing will guarantee imprisonment of
criminals.
Thompson also argued that
President Clinton is fully aware of
problems that plague the AfricanAmerican community. Clinton acknowledges that crime has increased
because of the breakdown of family
and community. The President also
recognizes that black youths need more
employment opportunities. Yet, according to Thompson, Clinton chooses
to promote legislation that will increase the breakdown of these values.
He feels the President's policies towards crime ignore the underlying
problems. African-American families are severely threatened by the
high incarceration rate of young black
men. Youths in prison cannot form stable
families. Many of those incarcerated have
turned to crime because their community
lacks jobs that would allow them to support
families or themselves. Lack of financial
resources prevents these youths from seeking
better employment in the suburbs. Limited
opportunities for young black men often
leads to crime as a solution for survival.
Effective legislation would directly
address these problems, Thompson believes.
Rather than spend millions of dollars incarcerating criminals for their entire lives, money
could be spent on programs that would offer
disadvantaged youths alternatives to crime.
Year-round sports programs, improved
schools, and effective job-training centers
could be implemented as a means of preventing youths from engaging in crime. Criminals already imprisoned should receive counseling to develop stronger social skills, while
receiving employment training and education. Education and training in prison could
provide incentive and motivation to find work
after release.
Dr. Thompson did not deny the seriousness of violent crime, or the fact that
society must punish violent offenders. However, the seriousness of this problem should
cause legislators to create laws that work
towards genuine solutions. American society is demanding the reduction of violent
crime. Dr. Thompson argues that although
President Clinton's proposals may appear
tough, they will do little or nothing to solve
America's violent crime problem.

.
For the first time, the 20 CSU campuses and Chancellor's Office have
raised more than $ 100 million in voluntary contributions. In 1992/93, $109.4
million was raised, an increase of 10.8
percent from 1991/92's $98.7 million.
CSU Long Beach led the campuses
with $16.2 million, followed by San
Diego State with $15.5 million, Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo with $10.9 million, and CSU Fresno with $10.8 million. The largest percentage increase
was CSU Sacramento, which increased
its private gifts 115 percent, from $4.0
million to $8.6 million. CSU San Bernardino showed a 101 percent increase,
going from $1.0 million to $2.1 million.
Corporate giving increased five percent in 1992/93, from $38.5 million to
$40.4 million. San Jose State's alumni
contributed the highest amount, $2.4
million, a 162 percent increase. In the
past six years, contributions to the CSU
have grown from $57.4 million in 1987/
88 to $109.4 million in 1992/93, an increase of 91 percent.
OTHER CSU NEWS:
An update on plans for a new CSU
campust at Fort Ord. Downsizing in the
military has given the CSU an unprecedented opportunity to receive 1,300acres
of Fort Ord in Monterey Bay for a new
campus that eventually will accommodate 20,000 students by 2020. According
to the progress report to the trustees give
by J. Handel Evans, president of San Jose
State University, and Peter Hoff, CSU
senior vice chancellor for academic affairs,finalconveyance of the property by
the federal government is expected by
May, and the first group of students is
expected by fall 1995. The federal government already has provided $15 million
of an eventual $135 million that will be
provided to the system to convert existing
buildings to campus usage.
Keeping Romance in Your Relationship
P am F arrel
Contributing Writer
February is the month for lovers. Red and
white hearts adorn the malls and everyone is
in the mood for romance. However, in our
society, romance and sex getinterchanged as
if synonyms. Sex can often be a sultry killer
to romance and can thwart a person from
finding true love. Consider these findings:
Mosts couples break up when a crisis
pregnancy arises.
There are no "STD" bouquets to send
when you give your lover a sexually transmitted disease.
A ccording to D ick Day and J osh
McDowell, authors of "Why Wait," a sexual
relationship can cloud your decision making
process and your hormones can connect yout
to someone that your heart knows isn't right.
Studies have concluded that couples who
live together prior to marriage are twice as
likely to end up in divorce court.
In a survey of the first graduating class of
Cal State San Marcos students, 51 percent
gave an okay to casual sex. but there is
nothing casual about sex. Giving yourself'
totally to another, bearing your body and soul
isn't the same as having your usual morning
cup of coffee. Perhaps we have all lsot sight
of the difference between love and lust. Na-
tionally know, psychologist, Steve Arterburn
explains the difference between love and lust
as—
Love is personal, lust is impersonal. Love
is concrete, focused on a particular object;
lust is unfocused, capable of fixing on almost
any object. Love tends toward faithfulness,
lust is a wanderer. Love seeks stability, lust
is short-lived and mercurial. Love is an affair
of the mind and heart, lust is an affair of the
emotions and hormones. Love is a matter of
giving, lust is matter of taking.
Musicians Steve and Annie Chapman have
a line in one of their love songs, "True love
starts with a kiss of hearts." To keep romance
in your life, give your heart and keep your
body until you hear, "With this ring, I thee
wed." No matter your sexual history, you can
make decisions today to protec t your future
lovelife and ensure that romance becomes a
lifestyle rather than a fleeting sentiment on a
Hallmark card.
Pam Farrel is a graduating senior who has coauthored a book with her husbandBill. Their
book "Pure Pleasure: Making Your Marriage a
Great Affair ** is due out in June. Pam is also a
member ofS.A.LT., a Christian group on
campus.
Presidents,
Faculty
Receive Salary
Increases
Presidential salaries were increased for
the first time in three years by the Board of
Trustees. Five collective bargaining agreements, including one with the California Faculty Association, also were ratified, giving
many employees their first general pay increases in several years.
Effective April 1, salaries for the 20 presidents were raised an average of 8.6 percent.
The annual average salary of a CSU president
will be $130,461, up from $120,075. Two
presidents serving in interim positions did
not receive increases; when those permanent
appointments are made, new salaries will be
set.
Approximately $17 million for salary increases for presidents and other CSU employees was set aside by trustees after the
legialators augmented the CSU budget by
$50 million for 1993/94. The presidental
increase will total about $200,000; the rest of
the $ 17 million will go for the system* s 33,000
employees.

In front of a classroom packed with
Liberal Studies majors, Sandy Punch,
C SUSM's Career Center Director turned

" Don't apologize for being a Liberal
Arts major. Wear your badge proudly,"
Punch said. "Your career choices are only
limited by your imagination."
In addition to the teaching profession, Liberal Studies majors have endless
career opportunities.
Employers are always seeking applicants with broad-based knowledge obtained by a Liberal Arts degree. Recruiters from Gallo Wine, UPS, Enterprise
Rent-a-Car and Farmers Insurance asked
to speak with all majors during recent
campus interviews.
The following list of majors and j ob
titles of college graduates, including recent CSUSM and San Jose State University grads, shows that majors do not matter:

CSUSMs Recycling
Program a Model for
Other Schools
By Ivalee Clark
Director Support Services
T he University has entered into
a contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board
to develop and implement a "model
university waste reduction program." With no formal program
previously in place and being a new
campus, the plan of the Solid Waste
Reduction Planning Committee is
to establish a model program right
from the beginning and to make it a
transferable model for other colleges and universities to follow.
An aggressive recycling program
was launched on August 2, 1993.
Targeted are specific materials for
recycling, including mixed o ffice
paper, cardboard, newspaper, glass,
and cans/plastic. For convenience,
special color-coded recycling containers are located in handy locations throughout the University.
Your sorted recyclables are collected weekly and delivered to the
Mashburn Recycling Center. There,
the materials are processed for shipment to companies who reuse our
recyclables in the manufacturing of
new products.
A waste specialist from the California Integrated Waste Management Board in Sacramento spent
two days on campus reviewing our
recycling program. He praised how
much was accomplished in such a
short period of time.
Thanks to everyone for your cooperation in making the e ffort to
recycle and manage waste a success.
THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF
OUR F ORMAL R ECYCLING
PROGRAM SAVED APPROXIMATELY 27 F ULL G ROWN
TREES . . . OR ROUGHLY 7
TREES FOR EVERY TON O F
MIXED PAPER AND NEWSPAPER.
In a ddition, t he c ontractor,
Mashburn Waste and Recycling
Services has commended CSUSM
on how "clean" the recyclable collections have been. Remember, contamination occurs when inappropriate trash becomes commingled
with recyclable material. Thanks
for asking questions prior to contaminating the recyclables. Answers to some questions:
• Plastic grocery bags and brown
paper bags cannot be recycled.
• Plastic containers from frozen
foods or bookstore food cannot be
recycled. There is no market for
these containers at the present time.
Please separate recyclables from
trash in the classroom. Both trash
and mixed paper containers are located in each classroom. Since food
and beverages are not permitted in
the classroom, appropriate beverage containers are located in the
hallways of the academic buildings.
Participation is very important in
this worthwhile project. Working
together will save natural resources
and reduce the amount of material
going into landfills.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the recycling program, please contact Support Services at Ext. 4520.

�The Good and Bad
News About Measles
NOTICE TO ALL FIRST SEMESTER
STUDENTS
By Joel Grinolds, MD, M.P.H.
At Student Health Services we are often asked, "Why is
there an immunization requirement for Measles?" The
answer is that in the mid 1980s, an epidemic of Measles
began. It peaked at 14,000 cases in the first half of 1990.
But, because of the efforts at all educational levels (including universities) and community programs, the lowest
incidence of Measles cases on record is being experienced
in the United States this year.
Measles may sound like just another childhood disease
but this recent epidemic proves otherwise. In a three year
period (1989 to 1992) Measles led to 132 deaths, 11,000
hospitalizations and medical expenditures of up to 100
million dollars. Also, in 1992, the most recent complete
reporting period, 19% of all Measles cases were in the 20
year-plus-age group. This age group includes most of the
student at this university. A few years ago, 20-30% of the
USC football team came down with Measles and almost
could not play in the Rose Bowl.
The sharp decline in Measles pleases many experts, but
also worries them. Ten years ago, Measles was also on the
decline, but complacency about Measles vaccine requirements seems to have resulted in the most recent epidemic.
Therefore, the Measles vaccine requirement will
becontinue because it makes good public health sense, and
can personally protect you and your good health. If you
have any questions regarding the Measles vaccine, please
call Student Health Services at 752-4915.
Every student born Jan. 1956 or later is
required t o provide proof of measles/
Rubella vaccination prior t o registration
for a second semester.

Rubella immunizations. The clinic dates

Faculty wants to change program name
B y J an C ooper
Staff Writer
A memo to the academic faculty and advisors from the Liberal Studies faculty announced that they are petitioning to change
the name of Liberal Studies to Integrative
Studies. The memo states that this new name
will better reflect the nature of the program
which, while usually associated with the
Multiple Subject Waiver Program, provides
a variety of interdisciplinary options. A track
structure will allow the university to develop
interdisciplinary tracks in addition to the
waiver tracks. They will share a common
mission statement and core of courses beyond GE requirements. Central to this core
will be issues related to race, class and gender. Service Learning will be an important
part of this program.
The Program Mission Statement states
that "Integrative Studies (IS) is a dynamic,
innovative multi-disciplinary program designed for students seeking a broad liberal
arts education with a global perspective." It
goes on to state, "This curriculum seeks to
breach traditional barriers between the natural and social sciences and the humanities to
achieve an integrated educational experience.
IStudents who graduate from the IS program
will be prepared to enter various fields in the
private and public sector, pursue further professional training or post-graduate education, and in general, be better prepared for the
technological changes underway in t oday's
workplace.
The memo did not explain how this change
will affect current Liberal Studies majors and
did not go into specifies as to how the pro* gram would be changed or enhanced.
This project is still in the planning stages,
with plans to move through the proper approval cycles in the first part of the next
academic year.

Academics, not sports
should be college's focus
By T homas Lee H untington
Staff Writer
Our young university stands at
a very important crossroads in its
development. While certain guiding principles and philosophies have
been established, the shape that
CSUSM will take in the future is
essentially up for grabs. The administration and faculty have already worked hard to earn a reputation for diversity and academic excellence, but it is the student body
that will ultimately shape our university for future generations. With
that in mind, CSU San Marcos
should continue to focus on intellectual and cultural achievement and
not put valuable money and resources into a comprehensive athletic program.
Certainly, athletics is an important part of American life and team
sports offer many rewards to those
students who choose to participate.
But the mission of CSUSM is an
intellectual one. In a state so limited economically that university
fee hikes have caused the cost of
education to skyrocket, the primary
goal of all state universities should
be to improve the educational environment and lessen the economic
burden in any way possible. Football stadiums and coaching staffs
are luxuries that we cannot possibly
afford.
Some would argue that a strong
football team brings revenue to the
school by attracting area supporters
who are more than happy to fork
over a few bucks for the university
in order to see a good gridiron match
up. High profile athletic programs
are often economically beneficial
to the universities that house them,
but getting to that point requires a
great deal of expenditure that simply could be utilized in better ways.
Also, athletic events only attract
supporters if those supporters have
a winning team to root f or; losing
teams also lose money.
Perhaps more important than the
athletic program's* varying economic aspects is the side-stepping
of academic goals. The ultimate
purpose of any university is to foster an intellectual environment conducive in every way possible to
student growth. As is, CSUSM is
filled with dedicated faculty and
hardworking students here because
they want to be a part of that environment. We should dedicate our
time and resources to the pedantic
and aesthetic endeavors that make
university life important and unique.
There are plenty of other places
to find great quarterback keeps and
breathtaking double plays. Let this
university be a haven for intellect
and culture.

Politics as usual
By B arry W alker
Guest Editorial
There is a new club on campus that has
promised to promote discussion of political
issues on campus that affect students, faculty, and the community. The Political Science Association (PSA), in an attempt to
demonstrate its willingness and desire to
discuss important issues, has already met
face to face with the politics of politics.
On Tuesday, Oct. 26, the Student Califor-
nia Teachers Association scheduled a seminar geared against Prop. 174 (the school
voucher initiative). The PSA was interested
in seeing that arguments on both sides of this
very important issue were addressed and available to students on campus, and started looking for someone to present the pro-side argument.
After being guaranteed a speaker, the PSA
went ahead with coordination of the event.
At this point, the speaker, a co-author of Prop.
174, demanded equal time with the audience

people make it out to be.
In newspapers, stories about
how people have been effected by

the destruction those fires caused.
Saturday's edition of The Orange
County Register had the story
"Evacuees treated to hotel party,"
about how local businesses and
community organizations held a
Halloween party at a hotel f or
families that lost homes in Laguna
Beach.
The Times Advocate had on
Friday's front page a teaser at the
t op r eading, " Fire A ftermath:
Families look to the future after
losing their homes." Again, a look
at the ' B' section showed the top
story to be about the triumph of the
human spirit: "Couple finds 'there
is life after the fire."' The story

audience was allegedly an education class
who, it could be argued, would be a captive
audience for one side of apolitical issue at the
expense of the California taxpayer without
giving the opposite side equal time.
Nevertheless, the PSA was offering a time
slot in which the pro voucher side could be
presented. It was scheduled to precede the
seminar opposing the issue. The speaker, not
convinced that he would receive equal time,
withdrew from his commitment to address
this campus at the request of PSA. As a
result, the issue of school vouchers was not

The Other Side of
"Greeks" Story
Dear Editor:
In response to Amy G laspey's "Greeks
get Opposition to Halloween Bash," the
InterClub Council (ICC) has a total budget of $4,500 f or the entire year to support
the activities of about 3 0 clubs. A strong
part of the opposition f rom the ICC was
that in giving a few clubs (the Greeks) the
$1,000 they requested to put on one event,
it would possibly excluded other clubs
from their portion of that money later in
the year. The ICC voted to equally divide
the $4,500 with a reserve f or new clubs or
emergencies.
The other part of the opposition was the
irony created by the clubs having given
full support to "Red R ibbon" week promoting non-alcoholic lifestyles, and then
being asked f or money f or a party with a
cash bar at the end of that same week!
Some of the clubs have a strong sensitivity
to alcohol issues, SALT, American Indian
and others feel that alcohol is not conducive to learning and that the school is not
a place for an alcohol-oriented party. T he
ICC as a body wants no responsibility in
this type of affair but each club i s f ree to
pursue their own a gendas within the
school's guidelines.

Earthly Constellation—-photographs by Linda Connor
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-at-Large
The Museum of Photographic Art (MOPA)
has opened its new exhibition, the work of
two photographers, Linda Connor and Ruth
Thorne-Thomsen. These photographers have
more in common than their gender; they possess a love of subjects ancient and mysterious, and they use their cameras to capture
images of things ephemeral and fleeting. However, the way these women set out to record
such essences differs like night and day. I
found their work so compelling that I decided
to review them separately. In this issue, I will
concentrate on the work of Linda Connor, a
Bay area photographer who teaches at the San
Francisco Art Institute.
In a documentary which runs with her
show, "Earthly Constellation," Linda Connor
states that her images revolve around "honoring the spirit." In these transcendental endeavors, she has chosen the tools and techniques of such traditional landscape photographers as Ansel Adams and John Sexton.
She uses the 8x10 view camera, not usually
the choice f or the woman photographer due to
its heavy and unwieldy nature. With the
correct exposure and developing techniques,
this camera produces an 8x10 inch black &
white negative, capable of producing an image unsurpassed in rich tone and detail. As
with past masters, Connor chooses to contact
print her images, side-stepping the use of an
enlarger. Nonetheless, the naked way her
prints have been placed in 8x10 inch frames,
does them no justice. Mounting and matting
her photographs in a more customary way
would have better exhibited her work.
Technique becomes meaningless if the
artist does not use it to reflect carefully chosen subject matter. Connor, an adventurous
traveler, has chosen areas as diverse as Nepal,
Ireland, Hawaii, Europe, Egypt and the American Southwest in pursuit of "spiritual" subject matter. In seeking the spiritual, her eye
gravitates to classic outdoor landscapes, dimly
lit interiors of temples and tombs, Native
American pictographs, or Celtic stone circles.
She proves to be at her best when she
weaves antithetical elements into her images,
such as those in her photograph, "The Patient
One." In it we see a beam of bright sunlight
striking an artifact inside a darkened East
Indian Temple.
Often, when she cannot identify such natural opposites as dark and light which play
against one another in her composition, her
work takes on a more pedestrian quality,
verging on being simply documentary. At
these times, her images reflect a safe decision
to fall back on her strong technical expertise,
relying on subtle themes and elements rather
than on more dynamic and compelling ones.
Connor captures the spirit best in her spontaneous people images, something usually
attained by photographers who use smaller
format cameras. Cartier-Bresson serves as
the prime example of this. Such photographers usually use wider apertures and faster
shutter speeds in order to catch their subjects
atjust therightmoment. Remarkably, Connor
breaks this rule by using a small aperture,
compensating with the usual longer exposure
time. With these longer exposures, subjects
may blur, but Connor uses this to her advantage often allowing one figure in the image to
blur, shifting the viewer's attention to the
person who has remained sharp and still.
Sandra S. Phillips, curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art, the person who organized Connor's show,
inadvertently perpetuates gender stereotypes
with such statements as, "She (Connor) is one
the few women who have explored landscape
photography, and endowed this form with a
female consciousness." Phillips fails to define what "female consciousness" means, or,
for that matter, how this aspect of C onnor's
psyche has specifically influenced her images. Certainly, we must commend both
women for smashing any glass ceilings which
may exist in the photographic world, but the
quality of C onnor's art eclipses any myths
about gender influences on creation.
In the next issue I will review the surrealistic work of Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, the other
photographer being shown at this dual exhibition. Her show is entitled, "Within this
Garden." I recommend that you get over to
MOPA to see these shows which will be
running until November 14. For information,

Movie Review
By Thomas Lee Huntington
StaffWriter
Robert Altman has long been one of the few American
filmmakers unafraid of artistic experimentation. From his
early social comedies such as Mash and Nashville to the
recent Hollywood satire The Player, Altman has consistently pushed the bounds of cinematic convention, often
delivering keen insight into the human condition. Altman's
best work is in many ways a reflection on the absurdity and
Hopelessness ofmodern life. Thejumpy, nervous camerawork
and disjointed, frantic dialogue capture in a unique way the
various joys and neuroses of his characters.
It is appropriate, then, that Altman would turn to the
writings of minimalist short-story master Raymond Carver
for cinematic inspiration. Carver (recently deceased) was
interested in the blandness and fragility of everyday existence. His stories are tightly structured snapshots of extraordinary moments in ordinary lives, introducing a few charac-
ters and then taking them in the least-expected direction.
In his new film Short Cuts (playing exclusively at San
Diego's Park Theater), Altman has taken a handful of Carver
stories, changed the location from the midwest to Los Angeles and created what is perhaps the finest film of his career.
Altman does not so much adapt these stories as interpret
them. The stories are loosely woven together in distinct
Altman fashion, complete with his characteristic quick cutting and unique camera angles. The beauty of the film lies in
the fact that the Carver material works so well within that
stylistic framework. It is a marvelous marriage of artistic
mediums: Altaian's dramatic and visual sense brings the
stories to life in the same way that Carver's deeply drawn,
insightful characters and situations give weight to the director's
vision.
A plot summary would be useless for a film of this
complexity and scope, and part of the joy of the movie lies in
watching the various stories turn in unexpected directions.
Compelling, flawed characters are introduced and relationships are established at a leisurely pace. Some of the stories
take tragic turns that send ripples throughout the film. By the
end, every individual story has been in some way affected by
another story, creating a fragile web of relationships and
circumstances holding the narrative together.
It certainly helps that Altman has assembled a cast of
some of the finest actors in film. Matthew Modine, Tim
Robbins, Lily Tomlin, Fred Ward and Jack Lemmon are j ust
a few of the standouts on a crowded list. The director has
given his cast a great deal of freedom to improvise dialogue
and approach their characters as they seefit,and that gives the
film much of its gritty, home-movie kind of ambiance. The
actors work off of each other very naturally. Even the
dramatic, scenery-chewing roles seem realistic and unrehearsed.
Altman has woven isolated characters and events together
in a coincidental and subtle way; the characters are oftentimes
connected in ways only the viewer can see. But these
coincidental, unseen connections are the driving force behind
many of the film's main events. That is the genius of
Altman's technique. He has taken the small, literary lands
Carver created and bound them together in one big cinematic
world. The viewer is able to sit back and see the connections
the characters cannot, to observe the "short cuts" that tie
everything together.
�Babysitting
"I think she's poor," mother told me.
How do you know?
"Just from the way she dresses . . . I just have a feeling about it.
I'm pretty sure she has a messy house too. Make sure you
tell me, okay?"
It's poor by my standards, but not really poverty.
The contrast opens my eyes and makes me that much more
aware of the world around me.
I realize how much I have
and how good my life is.
They have tasteless macaroni and cheese for dinner
yet cheap ice cream for dessert.
"Sit on the floor with your ice cream
if you want to watch t.v."
"Mom said we can't sit on the floor 'cuz there's lice in the
carpet."
"Okay. I guess we won't sit on the floor anymore."
Aftr sharing a toothbrush, they sleep in their underwear—
the heat is unbearable.
Parents divorced, they live with mom. Life is hard.
The ugly separation remains
branded in their hearts,
a painful memory.
T he driDDins f aucet k eens m e a wake so I w atch c able on t heir
s mall t .v.
It is ironic, and I sadly smile thinking of the
ice cream and cable.
This is an old house, yet big enough for their family of three.
The waiting ends as she returns
to wake the kids and drive me home.
With the twenty dollar bill in hand
I feel guilty and wonder
if I shouldhave made an exception
to my two dollar per hour fee.
But the feeling doesn't last long
as I see my house.
I step quietly over the threshold
into the comfort of my own home,
ready for sleep,
and in the morning . . . church.
Naomi Fink
Choices
I can make my own decisions,
My own choices.
I know what is for me and,
what is not.
I do not need anyone to decide
for me.
Do not tell me you know
what is best for me.
You do not.
At times it seems you do not know
what is best for you
You set yourself up as my judge
Without knowing who I am
You want to tell me how to live
My life
In my body in my spirit
You ask me to believe that I
cannot decide what is right
Forme.
You who kill by the thousands
You who destroy and maim
And cast aside those who are
Maimed and destroyed in yourname
Would you accuse me of murder
Because I choose to own
my body
Because I choose to remove
from my body something I do not
want
Oh ye with faces looking in all directions
Ye, who would kill for no reason, in a heartbeat
And justify it. Ye who would
Judge your fellowman by his skin
color
Or religious choice or sexual preference
How dare you proclaim to sit
in judgment of me
You are not God
Though you would have us think
so
And think on this
Even God in her glory and power
Does not judge me for what
I do
It is my life, it is my body
Step aside or be trod upon.

�Campus Alcohol Policy
Focuses on responsibility through education
By J an C ooper
StaffWriter
Recent activity at the ICC meetings has
left many students wondering j ust What is the
university's policy on alcohol. A complete
copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy
is available from the O ffice of Student Activities. This policy provides a comprehensive approach to alcohol use which is
sensitive to the individual while preserving
the academic environment of the university.
The policy is two-part: the philosophical
foundation of the interim policy and interim
alcohol regulations. The philosophical foundation maintains C SUSM's commitment to
providing a supportive environment that encourages students to pursue intellectual, professional, and personal development. As the
use of alcohol may interfere with this pursuit
on an individual basis and have an adverse
affect on the university c ommunity, the
present alcohol policy promotes responsible
approaches and considerations of alcohol use
through education, counseling support, and
regulation enforcement.
The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services; Studefit Health Services, and
the Office of Student Activities provide re-
source materials, educational programs, workshops, and activities which discuss alcohol
and substance abuse. Psychological services
are also available to CSUSM students through
individual counseling, support groups, selfhelp strategies, and community resource referrals. While students may seek assistance
for their own abuse, it is not uncommon for
them to seek help regarding a friend or family
member.
The purpose of the interim alcohol policy
is to provide basic guidelines for the sale,
serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on CSUSM property. Appropriate written approval (see a complete copy f or details)
must be obtained, and a reasonable list of
activities must be followed, including abiding by university, federal, and state regulations regarding alcohol; providing a nonalcoholic beverage alternative, and maintaining behavior and activities appropriate to a
university setting.
If your organization plans to sponsor an
event where alcohol will be served, or if you
plan to participate in one, it may be wise to
review a complete copy of the University
Interim Alcohol Policy. Any questions should
be addressed to the Director of Student Activities.
