A NITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/PIONEER "This is a unique university — that's what brought me here." The speaker is Dr. W. Komla Amoaku, Program Director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos. 'That's the only reason I would make a change after being head of a department for 13 years" he continued in reference to his position in Ohio until August, 1991. "I didn't need to make a move and I had my own home. But something brought me here—it's a place that is determined to make a difference." He and Dr. Don Funes head groups which have recently been recognized as Artists in Residence. Amoaku's group is Sankofa. In addition to their classes on campus, they putin time atelementary and junior high schools —sometimes doing four assemblies in a day— telling children in the area that CSUSM has something different to offer them. "This is the most forward-looking university administration that I have had a chance to work with. On the campus itself the General Education requirements are so unique," Amoaku said, "You don't find those in any other institution. These requirements are notjust to fulfill college credits. "The world that we are looking atrightnow, the next century is not going to be a world that is pigeon-holed . .. if you're in business, it's going to have to be global business. If the company has to deal with a company in Africa, and you don't know anything about Africa, (you will be at a definite disadvantage)." Bonnie Biggs, Coordinator of Public ser- vices at CSUSM, believes in these "goodwill ambassadors," with their forms of non-traditional music. "Whereother universities have artists in residence, they are mostly concerned with traditional jazz or classical music," she said. "These are Anglo-Saxon ensembles which are very likely to perform a Chopin polonaise; whereas the ensembles which Funes and Amoaku direct are not elitist, producing sounds less familiar to audience members. "The music is also inclusive, inviting the audiA R T / M U S I C ence to join in the performance withclapping, singing or dancing." "Jazz in its present form is only related to Africa in its rhythmic structure, by harmonic structure it is not African," Amoako said. "When most traditional Africans hear jazz they are not really able to relate to it in its present form. Only the sophisticated are able to relate to it - they relate to those jazz styles which imply movement components or dance components. 44 The thing about African music is that there is always movement implied in the music. There is no definition for music, per se. The definition for dance is the definition for music, no distinction. Music coming to Africa from abroad that has that component of movement is very well received. After Amoaku got his masters degree in Illinois he went back to Ghana. He taught at the University of Ghana for two years. But he had tasted the life here, and had been very active NEW E RA P ••• • i here, and felt that the change of lifestyle was retarding his growth. "I received a fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh to enroll in the doctoral program. I transferred some credits from U of Ghana in 1973 andfinishedmy doctorate in 1975.1 was the first doctoral student at Pittsburgh in Ethnomusicology. Amoaku said that he has met with resistance in the past with regard to multicultural programs. "I've been in higher education in the United States for at least 18 years - spent most of my time in historically black institutions. (What) surprised me (was) the lukewarm response among academia in those days, about Africa. I was an outsider, they'd rather have an AfricanAmerican in that position than an African. "In spite of what I had to offer, no one was interested. And this was the Harvard or the Yale of the black institutions. What I have faced in this country as an African... who has survived in the system, is that I find more rejection in certain segments of my own people in visual and performing arts where we are supposed to have most of our Africanisms retained. "We (the university) are differentfromeveryone else," this is our focus, multicultural, respect for all culturéis in the world, we are determined to break down all those racial and cultural barriers so that we can learnfromeach other's cultures, that is basically what this whole thing is about. "There aren't many universities in the world where you'll find a program of this nature where you actually have artists in c idence who receive some stipend just to promote the university mission and to enhance the cultural SEE ARTIST/PAGE 4 Pioneer editorship to change hands as founders leave For thefirsttime in Cal State San Marcos' history, the leadership of the student newspaper will change with the appointment of a new Editor-in-Chief. Larry Boisjolie, who co-founded Pioneer in 1990 and has served as Editor-in-Chief since then, will step down at the end of this semester when he graduates from CSUSM. Jonathan Young, cofounder and Graphics Director, will also leave the publication. Replacing Boisjolie is Roman S. Koenig, who served as Editor-inChief at Palomar College's The Telescope for two years. He is currently attending CSUSM, majoring in Political Science, and has worked with Pioneer for the past semester. "This is a major turning point for Pioneer and the university," said Young. "Pioneer has earned therightto be called the 'Best Weekly College Newspaper is California.' Now the staff that elevated the publication to that status is leaving. It's sad to see an era come to an end. It's also exciting because a new erais" about to begin. I look forward to the new ideas and concepts that the new staff and editor will be bringing to CSUSM." "I am very proud to have been chosen as Larry's successor," said Koenig. "It feels good to know that both Larry and Jonathan have the confidence in me to carry on the tradition of excellence established by the two of them beginning in 1990. All three of us have worked together at The Telescope before, so I really feel at home coming to Pioneer." "Choosing a new editor is a difficult task," Young said. "But we knew that if Roman accepted the position, we would not have to worry about the newspaper's future." Boisjolie's plans include obtaining a writing position with a newspaper and possibly leaving the state. Young will remain in the area and serve as a consultant to Pioneer. With a staff of 25 students at one time, Pioneer has published 35 issues with two special sections in the past five semesters. Pioneer's staff also organized and hosted the 1992 California Intercollegiate Press Association Convention in April, a four-day conference which approximately 500 students from California and Nevada attended. "Attending a university like Cal State San Marcos is a once-in-alifetime experience, and l ean assure the students and staff of CSUSM that Pioneer will continue to provide the campus with a college newspaper that isfirstrate " Koenig said. �C ommittee W f orms A new group has formed at Cal State San Marcos called Committee W. The purpose of the organization is to foster balance, professional success, effectiveness, personal growth and well being; and to provide a voice for women's issues and concerns. All students, staff, faculty and administrators are invited to become members. Membership dues are $5 for students and $15 for non-students paid annually. This year, send checks made out to Committee W to Judy Taylor in Human Resources Management. For students who are interested in nominating a student to serve for one semester on the Executive Board, contact Patti Elenz-Martin in Student Developmental Services, Room 2-203, or call 752-4935. T ransferring s tudents i ncrease Continuing to meets its commitment to transfer students under California's higher education master plan, the California State University enrolls and graduates more community college transfer students than any other public senior institution in the state. The CSU awarded 80 percent of the baccalaureate degrees earned by students who transfered from a community college to a public senior institution between 1981 and 1990. At Cal State San Marcos, 27 percent of the population is transfer students from Palomar College with 11 percent coming from MiraCosta College. Miramar and Mesa colleges are also major feeders to the campus. 'The CSU has a commitment not only to enroll significant numbers of community college students, but to graduate them," said Harold Haak, CSU interim senior vice chancellor, academic affairs. "While it's always possible to. do better, we believe we are doing a good job of bringing the students into the system and then helping them make their way out." F ood D rive b egins The Associated Students Council has started the annual Cal State San Marcos Holiday Food Drive. Students are asked to donate non-perishable food. All donations will be given to the North County Inter-Faith Council. Boxes, decorated as presents, will be located in the Dome, the A.S. Office and in Academic Hall. The drive will continue until school ends this semester. For more information, contact the A.S. Office in the upper level of the Commons Building or call 752-4990.

F inal f all e dition This issue marks the final edition of Pioneer for the fall semester. Pioneer will resume publishing when school begins in the spring semester. Honors position filled as grievance policy finalized LARRY BOiSJOLIE/PiONEER Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid was officially appointed to the position of Honors Committee Chair Wednesday following recent protests by Associated Student President Laura Mitchell. Mitchell, who spoke at a Nov. 11 meeting of the Academic Senate, based her protests on two complaints filed by students who alleged that Reid demonstrated a bias toward males in his classes. The action spurred concerns and action over the absence of a student grievance procedure at CSUSM. Currently , the Academic Senate is finalizing a plan to air student grievances. Provisions outlining disciplinary measures resulting from upheld grievances still need to be written into the plan. The Academic Senate is expected to finalize the plan by the next meeting of the organization on Dec. 9. "I think it is a mistake making the appointment beforeagrievance policy is finalized," Mitchell said. "It sends a bad message to students about what this university is all about." On Friday Nov. 13, students spoke out in favor of Reid at the Associated Student Council meeting. At the meeting, Mitchell also presented a resolution to the council protesting the lack of a university grievance policy. The resolution states that students will not recognize appointments like Reid's if student input is not considered. The council agreed that the proposal needed refinement before official action would be taken. The resolution was sent back to an executive committee for rewording. Last Tuesday, 30-35 students and about 10 staff members met with Mitchell, Academic Vice President Richard Millman, Vice President of Student Affairs Ernest Zomalt and President of the Academic Senate Edward Thompson III to openly discuss a student grievance policy. According to Mathematics student Chuck Ward, who attended the meeting, the discussion concentrated on student concerns over the grievance policy and dealt little with complaints against Reid. Kelley Gebbie, a former student of Reid's and a member of the Math Club that the Founding Faculty member sponsors, said she sees no evidence that the instructor practices sexual bias toward males. "I think he's a very good and very tough instructor," Gebbie said. "Tough doesn't mean he's sexist" Gebbie said she thinks that Reid is being used as a scapegoat for student grievance policies. Ward, who has taken Reid for several classes, said that the instructor got caught in the middle of a situation that has careened out of control. "Brooks Reid didn't have anything to do with what Laura (Mitchell) wanted to accomplish " Ward said. "Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved through the spilled blood of someone who shouldn't have had blood spilled." Ward said, that by bringing up unsubstantiatedcharges of sexual bias at the Academic Senate meeting, Mitchell acted as judge, jury and prosecutor for Reid. Those accused of crimes in this country are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Ward said this construct does not apply with charges of sexual discrimination. Ward said that he saw no evidence of sexual bias toward males in Reid's classes. He said if bias were a factor than he probably would have gotten better grades. "Hejust doesn't operate that way," said Ward. "That kind of behavior is beneath him. He eats drinks and sleeps mathematics and tennis." Mitchell said Reid is not being singled out to help speed up the formation of a grievance policy. "I don't know the man," Mitchell said. "He is not my focus." Gebbie said that the complaints charging sexual bias may have been a reflection of socially ingrained perception of mathematics. She said that women have been traditionally raised to be not inclined toward math. Women students in the class may unknowingly have carried that bias to class with them and assumed a bias where none existed, said Gebbie. She said she saw no indication that Reid subscribed to that traditional sociological bias. "I didn'tfindhim sexist in class," Gebbie said. "I found him to be brilliant."

"Artists in Residence is a separate program with a multifaceted intention - first of all culturally to link the university with the community. "Secondly, to link the visual and performing arts programs on the campus with the artists in the community. A direct link there will serve a number of purposes, such as enhancing faculty research, in the areas of African music and Andean music, working directly with experts who earn their living at music." The stipend from Artists in Resi- C LUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 meeting. "I think that we had decided the A.S. would not consider alternatives . .. because we did make the motion that alternative not be considered," Mitchell said. "If Rob does bring one to our meeting, it probably would not be looked at favorably." If no alternative is found, then the dence helps to offset the cost of that link by supporting the role of the musicians in his group Sankofa. The stipend also helps to present the university mission to the people, which is one of the primary aims of CSUSM. "For me Sankofa is a mode of expression and what I do in Sankofa, I also do in the classroom, so Sankofa is simply an extension of my academic activities. That is why I think it is very important that this group be maintained—both the Andean group and Sankofa. "A Hispanic can identify with the Andean group. And if an African or an African-American can hear Sankofa and identify something that is meaningful to him, then this campus is his home." College Republicans will face the same dilemma again next semester. "If the alternative non-discrimination statement is allowed for any club to sign, then this whole controversy is over," Christensen said. "If it is not and the problem is going to continue to exist, the college republicans are going to have to deal with i t" Since Christensen is graduating at the end of this semester, he will not be able to work with those dealings.

Before my return to college I was a manager fen: a grocery store. I was dumbly happy and making a lot of money, until I was unfairly proclaimed as "guilty" by a polygraph of a theft I did not commit Needless to say, I was crushed. It is difficult to comprehend the sanctity and fragility of our own reputations until we find them squashed by functions beyond our control. Humans are creatures of dignity. Once that dignity i s breached, irreparable damage may be done to the precious self. My psychiatrist said I came to journalism to find truth and to protect others from the damages of harmful falsities. Until last issue of Pioneer, I felt I had taken great steps toward the achievement of my goals. In the last issue I penned a story about a conflict over student grievance policies. The issue arose during the Academic Senate's recommendation proceedings of Founding Faculty member K. Brooks Reid to the position of Honors Committee Chairman. Associated Students President Laura Mitchell protested the recommendation because student complaints over the instructor were not taken into account Apparently, some students alleged thatReid showed favoritism toward males in his classes. What bothers me about this whole situation is the willingness of many to condemn Reid and proclaim his guilt The man has contributed an enormous amount of academic energy to the foundation of this university, yet people are willing to denounce him based on what could LARRY BOISJOLIE PIONEER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF very well be student misperceptions. The saying that "you cannot please all of the people all of the time" holds especially true for the thankless jobs of college professors who must instruct classes filled with up to 4 0 separate eager-to-learn individuals. I would guess that there is not one instructor in this entire university who has received all favorable responses from students. Many instructors have even had a few complaints filed by students who were not satisfied with their grades. The underlying problem with the whole situation rested in the lack of a student grievance policy. Mitchell was correct in challenging a system which overlooked the needs of students so callously. Grievance policies protect students from tyrannical professors who score students in manners contrary to the ethical doctrines of higher education. They also protect instructors from character assassination by dissatisfied students. xThe Academic Senate^pushed the forming of a g rieyi^e g pl^y^i^faritqq l png.It^oniy a matter of time before the issue manifested itself as a tangible and uncomfortable situation. The situation, in this instance, became problematic when fliers were posted about campus denouncing the Academic Senate's recommendation for the Honors Committee. These fliers bred the assumption of guilt-by-twisted-logic to an unknowledgeable student population. The kind of logical connections made by flier readers progressed as follows: The university had no grievance policy in place to air legitimate student concerns; therefore the university represented an anti-student constituency; so if the university recommends someone to a position of honor, that person must be anti-student because, by inference, all university decisions are anti-student ones. Since the university recommended someone to a position of honor without taking into account student complaints (which are assumed legitimate because the university did not consider them and by nature the university i s anti-student s o nonconsidpration by the university equals legitimacy) that person must thusly represent the university and be, in conclusion, guilty of crimes against students because he has two complaints filed against him. Such a logical paradigm is paranoiac and not constructive to this university's goals and functions. It disquiets me when students assume an adversarial position against an institution formed solely for their personal betterment The fliers distributed around campus and a table asking for student signatures may have been advanced because of the lack of a grievance policy, but they showed little regard for the These implements irresponsibly assume guilt and hold Reid as a type of sacrificial lamb over the altar of student concerns. I believe that the integrity of one individual As far too sacred to sacrifice for any cause ... even one as noble as a grievance policy. Reid was recommended for the Honors Chair position because nobody else wanted the job. He has already invested a great deal of time in the formation of a program without receiving formal recognition. He is the logical choice for the position and should be considered heavily. If he gains that post, in which he has already served, than it is because of his merits and not because of a university conspiracy. Richard Millman, CSUSM's academic vice president held a forum to air student concerns and has vowed to take student input under consideration. I do not apologize for my treatment of last issue's story. I toiled a great deal over the work to represent fairly all parties to the best of my journalistic abilities. Still, it disturbs me when people make harmful judgements without due process of law based, in part, on information received through one of my stories. It is not my place as a journalist to tell people not to make judgements based on my conveyance of information; but when the sanctity of a man's reputation is breached without factual discourse, then I must object If this situation ends with the formation of a grievance policy, all parties represented in this university will benefit If Reid is improperly judged in the process we, as a university, are no better than the unthinking, irrational machine ^that caused me such pain and anguish. �Students respond to accusations of discrimination, non-discrimination policies and campus voice Supporting math professor Pai State San Marcos IONEER C San Marcos, CA 92096 (619)752-4998 Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie Graphics Director Jonathan Young CONTRIBUTORS: Sheila Cosgrove, Dr. Joel Grinolds, Mik James Hamada, David Hatch, Roman S.

No conspiracy exists in the ICC to remove Mr. Christensen or the Republican club. The Council would be very sorry to see Mr. Christensen's refusal to cooperate backfire and leave him as well as the College Republicans with no club and no voice. I would prefer to see the Republican Club resume attendance at the ICC meetings. I would also like to invite any interested student to attend meetings. ^ S UZANNE C LARK/ ICC CHAIRWOMAN & CAMPUS FRIENDS OF N.O.W. VICE PRESIDENT Student voice in jeopardy Students beware, your voice is in jeopardy! Your studentbody president is malcing decisions for you, focusing on the negative. After attending a recent student meeting with your student body president, I'm perplexed. Does the student government represent student voice on campus, of has a special interest group, an associated students "club" organized? When a classmate offers an opinion in an open forum, and is told by the student body president, "Speak to me in private," I become concerned. When three valued members of the university each address an issue, and try to approach a discussion in a positive manner, and the whiner continues to express negativity, monopolizing the agenda, I become anhoyed. In my opinion, when the president of the student body cannot represent majority interest in a legitimate, genuine manner, the openness and caring of this university are jeopardized. I wish the president of the student body and her colleagues would reread the Mission Statement in their catalog. Trust is a major issue here, and I urge each of you to make your voice known.

The American Red Cross b elieves that preparedness planning is essential and nave compiled the following check l ist B y LARRY B OISJOLIE PIONEER STAFF WRITER California is a state on the move . .. literally. In the aftershock of June's twin temblors andFriday'sBigBearquake, concerns over earthquakes are high throughout the state and millions now live in fear that the "big one" will come and leave their lives in ruin. Dr, Steven Spear, associate professor in Earth Sciences at Palomar, is a nearby expert on earthquakes who predicts the "big one" is due any time. "It will hit sometime in the morning during the spring between Anza and Palmdale." According to Spear, the quake will take place along the San Andreas fault and will range from 8.0 to 8.5 on the Richter scale. T he June 16 Big Bear and Yucca Valley quakes registered 7.4 and 6.5 on the scale respectively.

But even though the q uakes stirred many a sound sleeper, they were not deemed as " big" quakes. "Anything over 7.5 is considered a large quake," Spear said. In urban areas, a quake ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 has the potential to be dangerous. Buildings built before 1971 were not subjected to the strict building regulations that are imposed today. "San Diego won* tbe as affected as other places in the event of a major earthquake," Spear said. The Whittier quake in 1987 caused much damage because buildings were older. Spear doesn't believe that San Diego will be the site of the "big one" because the ,area has a lack of large, active fault lines.' "The nearest big fault is the San Jacinto fault with the nearest point to San Diego m Borrego. A big quakeon that fauit will affect San D iego, however, I don't see it doing much damage here," said Spear. The larger of the June quakes, "Earthquake — The Big One" is a carefully staged natural phenortienop measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale at Universal Studios Hollywood. which s eismologists n amed the Landers earthquake after a tiny hamlet near the epicenter, had a preliminary magnitude of 7.4, the third biggest quake of the century in California. Only a 1952 Kern County quake measured at 7.7, and the 1906 San Francisco quake estimated at 7 .9 to 8.3 outrank it. By comparison, the October 1989 Loma Prieta, or World Series, quake had a magnitude of 7.1. One fault ofconcern to San Diegans is the Rose Canyon fault, which is responsible for several small quakes in the area. The fault line runs parallel to Interstate 5 and proceeds southward into the downtown area of San Diego. Due to the composition of the ground in the downtown area, the fault is potentially dangerous. "Much of the area is built on trace soil and loose ground," cited Spear. "A quake at 6.5 could be disastrous." He further points out that there is no recent history of major quakes on the Rose Canyon fault so the potential S ee QUAKES, P age 10 Universal recreates the 'Big One' The "Big one" is here — and it arrived in a big way. On March 18, 1989, Universal Studios Hollywood opened a multidimensional special effects attraction unlike any other ever created: a spectacular 8.3 earthquake. Imposing in scope and stunningly dramatic, "Earthquake" represents the world's first effort to recreate the most shattering phenomenon in nature. The o nly d ifferent b etween Mother Nature* s efforts and those of Universal is that tour guests will know their rattler is coming and if they like, return to experience "Earthquake's" thrills again. On hand to introduce the new attraction in 1989 wereCharlton Heston, Maijoe Gortner, Richard Roundtree and Monica Lewis, stars of the 1974 Universal feature, "Earthquake." In slightly more than two minutes, 200 times a day, seven days a week, ^Universal literally collapses the earth under tram-loads of people, trapping them in a murky netherworld of felled telephone p oles, sparking power cables, deafening train wrecks, noxfious gases and a runaway big-rig {crashed within inches of the tram shooting its "highly flammable' contents at the passengers. | According to "Earthquake's" producers, no detail has been overlooked in Universal Studios Hollywood's ^cataclysmic creation. Housed in a ¿gargantuan 25,000-foot sound stage, ¿the set even includes the omnipresent sounds of big city evening traffic. When the quake actually strikes, travelers view flickering lights resulting from power outages and experience the bone-rattling jolts from a twisting, shaking tram. All the while, they're dodging concrete columns tumbling between the tram cars. In reality, "Earthquake" is.a care- fully staged "natural" phenomenon utilizing state-of-the-art, newly created techniques to baffle and delight visitors caught in this tram temblor. It's been made possible by massive steel pilings sunk 25-feet into the ground and locked together by beams weighing 8,000 pounds each which enable the set to withstand the quake's 600,000-pounds of force. Exhaustive tests by top engineers have been conducted on all aspects of the attraction. Each minute detail has been considered by the engineers and then tested and retested utilizing everything from miniaturized scale models to simulators to determine all conceivable forces experienced. Naturally, the entire structure is constructed s o Universal Studios Hollywood's visitors can survive a quake — of the genuine variety that occur periodically in Southern California. mm xt jsju.1 jjiuuuid, aiay uiuuuid • If your outHborsrstay I n the open, away from trees, building, utility poles or signs. • Crouch under a heavy table or desk and hold onto it • If there is no protective furniture, crouch and balance yourself against an inside doorway or corner 1 1 After an Earthquake • Treat the injured with first aid • U se phones only to report emergencies • Put out small fires.

Local Cafe really rocks B y DJ2BBY D UFFY PIONEER STAFF WRITER If you're looking for what's really shaking in entertainment and food, The Earthquake Cafe, in San Marcos, is the "Big One" you've been awaiting. People entering the Earthquake are immediately greeted with friendly enthusiasm. The decor is 50s-sty le with bright pink and lime green as the primary colors. Stools, surrounding an oldfashioned soda shop counter, stand on a black and white checkered floor created just for dancing. Tables and booths fill the main dining area and, if one chooses to sit outside, there is a covered, heated patio. When I looked at the menu, I was shaken by the many items listed. The waitress suggested I try some of the Cafe's popular favorites. I started with the Crispy Fried Onion Strings. Sweet, thin Onions are delicately fried to a light crispness that makes the taste buds tremble with excitement. My companions and I decided to try the Tangshan Spring Rolls as another tempting appetizer. The treats were s o unusual, we needed coaching by the waitress on how to eat them . We took a spring roll, added ground peppers, celantro and Szechwan sauce and wrapped the works in a lettuce leaf. Few treats are as scrumptious as this. For a main course, my partners ordered a French Trench, which containsa wonderfully large amount of roast beef and Jack cheese on a French roll. The dish is served with a side of Au Jus and horseradish sauce. I split a Chilean BJackenedChicken Sandwich with one of my companions. The course contains a tender breast of chicken sprinkled with Cajun sauce. Lettuce, tomatoes, jack cheese and green chiles are added to the chicken and served on sourdough bread. The meals come with curly fries, sprinkled with a seasoned salt that added spice to the traditional fry we were expecting. The milk shakes are dispensed the old-fashioned way, with extra portions served on the side. They are delicious and caused me to rattle with excitement. Everything on the Earthquake's menu is creative and different. Even the names of the selections have an earth-shaking jolt to them. Food at the Earthquake Cafe is exceptionally delicious, although the prices can cause even the sturdiest of pocketbooks to quiver a bit. The service is enthusiastic and friendly, Jonathan Young/Pioneer and the atmosphere is resplendent. The Earthquake Cafe is located in Old California Restaurant Row in San Marcos. �Q UAKE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8/9 for a large one there is low. Near the San Onofre nuclear power plant lies the Christianitos fault Although the fault hasn't moved in 400,000 years, evidence of earth movement is clearly visible. 'There are hundreds of faults in North County," Spear said. "However, it is built between major fault zones on solid ground." In theeventofanearthquake,Spear said there is little to be done. "The time to act is within the first lew seconds of the quake, getting under a doorway is great in theory, but once the earthquake is underway, it is very difficult to move. It is best to stay where you are." Spear advises that afterwards it is best to stay "indoors if you are indoors when the quake strikes and outdoors if you are outdoors." Aftershocks are likely to hit, so moving may be hazardous. Being prepared when an earthquake strikes is the most important element in avoiding injuries. Spear advised that all people think ahead and prepare in advance for a quake. 'There are things you can do to minimize quakedamage," Spear said. "First, live away from fault zones." Shock waves come from the focus of a quake which is located somewhere along the fault line. As the distance from the focus increases, the intensity of the shock waves decreases. North County is not close to any major faults so, according to Spear, residents are relatively safefrom major earthquakes. . Next, Spear suggests that houses not be built on flat land. "Flat land is flat because it is composed of loose sediment, sand or gravel. These components vibrate much more and increase quake intensity." June's Big Bear quake may have been larger in magnitude than was the Landers quake, but the flat land of the desert propagated more damage than the mountainous terrain. Downtown San Diego is also built on loose ground and stands a greater chance of sustaining damage in the event of a major quake than North County, which is built on granite. Another danger, although rare, associated with loose sediment is ground liquefaction. During a major quake, vibrations can cause loose ground to actually liquify. Ground liquefac tion was noted in the intensely fatal Mexico City quake. y4.G "Live in a decent house," Spear urged. "Adobe, brick and masonry homes can fall apart during a quake. The brick and cement which holds it together vibrate at different frequencies. The difference in vibrations can cause a home to literally break apart." Brick houses built after 1971 have metal reinforcing due to stricter building codes. These houses are safer than non-reinforced houses and stand less of a chance of breaking up. Wood houses are the best due to flexibility. Wood vibrates in a more uniform manner than does adobe or masonry, thereby minimizing structural damage. Even though the fairytale pig with the brick house was safe from the big bad wolf, the pig with the wood house would fare best from the big one. "Avoid high shelving or placing heavy objects high," Spear advised. "I myself am guilty of having stereo speakers high on my wall." In the event of a quake, heavy objects tend to topple from shelves due to a high center of gravity. It is best to keep heavier objects closer to the ground where less damage can be done. "Finally," said Spear, "have a flashlight and a family plan ready. $450 Off Move-In!

In explaining earthquake causes, Spear relates the Earth to an egg. "The crust is like the shell of an egg, the mantle is like the white and the core is like the yolk. 'The mantle (white) moves slowly, constantly and builds stresses which cause the crust (shell) to break. The crust is composed of plates that connect at fault lines." When an earthquake occurs, the entire plate doesn't move; rather, it pivots on a point Thepoint of pivoting is known as the focus. "Quake intensity is measured by the depth of the focus and the distance to theepicenter. Rock type and ground water also contribute to intensity," Spear said. The goal of seismologists is to predict earthquakes with the same accuracy with which meteorologists predict weather. As of yet, that goal has not been realized. "Most common earthquake signs have been noticed only after the fact. Radon emissions from ground water are usually higher. Tidal pulls are also a contributing factor," cited Spear. Earthquakes also occur with a fairly consistent frequency. Many predict the San Andreas is ready to erupt based on this factor. Due to theseelements, some quakes have been predicted within a month ofactivity. As of yet, however, regular accuracy in prediction has not been reached. "It may be dangerous to accurately predict earthquakes," Spear said. "I can envision panic arising out of the news of a large upcoming quake." Nevertheless, Spear believes a "big one" is due. At nearby Palomar College, a seismograph i s used to measure Richter scale readings of larger tremors throughout the world 'The Richter scale is a reading of energy released at the focus," Spear said. "Each step on the scale is ten times higher than the previous step. A 6.5 quake releases more energy than all the nuclear energy in the world." The Palomar seismograph is capable of picking up any earthquake in the world over 5.0. A complete record is kept of all the larger quakes. "The seismograph here is the best in thecounty," Spear said "It is located further away from freeway noises and vibrations than others." Spear also is a member o f the California Earthquake society. The private club takes a semi-humorous approach to quake study and offers, among other things, therightto attend the earthquake of your choice. If the "big one" is the quake you least want to attend, you are likely to be safe. It most likely won't happen in North County. �12 P IONEER/TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1 992 Professionally Managed By: LINCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY CARE Smart Santas Shop Early!

C hristmas C arol Charles Dickens' classic tale is almost as old as Christmas itself. Theater-goers will have the opportunity this year to see a traditional version and some adaptations: • The San Diego Repertory Theatre enters its 17th year presenting Dickens classic, and again the theater company has revised its unique adaptation. This year's show includes a 10-voice gospel choir and a live band. The Rep's show starts Dec. 3 and will run through Dec. 26 with 8 p.m. performances Tuesday through Saturday and performances at 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday; there will be no show on Christmas. Tickets are $16-$25. For more information, call 235-8025. • The only traditional version of "A Christmas Carol" is being presented by the South Coast Repertory, based in Costa Mesa. Hal Landon Jr. plays Scrooge in the 13th annual show. Previews are Dec. 1-6. The show's regular run is From Dec. 7 through Dec. 27. Ticket prices range from $12 to $27 depending on the seats and week. Call 714-9574033 for more information. • The renowned mimic is back with"Rich Little's Christmas Carol."

S pike Lee reaches perfection with epic J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER I didn't know much about Malcolm X last week. Some critics even say that people who dress in attire promoting the black leader don't know the true man. But after seeing Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" epic movie, I know everything there is to know — plus a little more. Lee's no-compromise film starts with Malcolm Little — follows him from childhood, to being a ruthless villain and eventually a prisoner, through his conversion to Muslim where he changed his last name to X and to the final confrontations with the world a«d his own beliefs. The director does thi£in a three-hour, 21-minute movie that leaves no stone unturned, no detail omitted. But the time frame doesn't hinder the megamovie. In fact, the film's length is needed to adequately portray who Malcolm X really was and is today. Lee compares his movie to "JFK," an Oliver Stone flick that received acclaim as a remarkable film. Lee's comparison could be correct, in that both movies tell a story in a documentary-style dramatization. But "Malcolm X" goes beyond the story of the late president — it goes beyond the realm of any movie into a dimension that elevates Lee's epic into an instant classic. That's a lot of praise for one movie. But this tale does more than the awarded "Silence of the Lamb," the popular "Batman" series and even the beloved "Beauty and the Beast." " "Malcolm X" is a film that contains no flaws and more importantly, what sets this movie apart from the rest of the pack, this movie teaches a lessen that everyone can learn from. Malcolm X goes through several dramatic changes in his lifetime — all of which are documented in this film. The most stirring segment is when Mr. X rises in a power struggle within the Nation of Islam — and then defies his colleagues in a fierce rebellion. At first, it seems that Lee spends too much film time on the Islamic religion than on the title character. But after a while, it becomes apparent that all the information is of vital importance and becomes clear and more relevant as the story unfolds. Because of the large dedication to the NOI, audiences will not only see what Malcolm X said and did, but also see why. In turn, you learn Mho he is and what he believes, and not just what he was and did. Denzel Washington portrays Malcolm X with conviction. There is no one in show business that could have pulled off the part of well as Washington. At times, it becomes difficult to determine if Lee's directing or Washington's acting is what makes this production so exceptional. If you have the time, see "Malcolm X" while it's in the theater. It will be well worth it. But if you are uncomfortable in those theater seats, you might want to wait until it comes out on video. Don't worry, you may lose the big-screen advantage, but you won't lose the focus of "Malcolm X" on the smaller television. 13 �M usic C alendar Bluegrass, Etc.: Performs at Buffalo Bill's, San Diego, Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. 236-1616 CSUSM Student Andean Ensemble: Performs Dec. 1 at noon in Room 14-102 on campus.

Movers haul supplies into Craven flail in preparationforspring semester. ROMAN S . KOENIG/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Despite a few setbacks, the final move over winter breakfromthe oldLos Vallecitos campus into Craven Hall has been hailed as a success, according to the Cal State San Marcos official responsible for coordinating the effort. Dr. Bernard Hinton, head of the office of architecture and construction and who facilitated the move, said the majority of people and departments originally located at the Los Vallecitos site moved into Craven Hall during the week of Dec. 15. Following the first transfer into the new six-story building, faculty offices located in the Academic Hall last semester were moved beginning Jan. 2. "Everything did stay to this schedule, and we did get moved. That's the bottom line,*' said Hinton. However, according to Marion T. Reid, director of library services, the move into Craven Hall was less than smooth. "It did not go as scheduled," said Reid, "because we did not open at the beginning of the semester as we had planned." The library's scheduled opening was to have been Feb. 26. The principle problem, Reid said, was that Craven Hall's architect did not approve a bolt that the shelving vendor needed to use to secure the units to the floor. As a result, the plans for the shelves had to be redrawn in a matter of twoand-a-half weeks. Another setback for the library, which occupies the third and fourth floors of Craven Hall, is the fact that lights for the staff to work under on the fourth floor are not yet working, Reid said. Recent rainstorms also didn't help the situation, according to Reid. Because of the lack of shelves, books had to be stored on the floor. When the heavy rains hit (now almost two R OMAN S .

Although the problems of heavy rain have lifted for the time being, the library is still faced with getting the facility on track just as the rest of those who have moved into the building begin to unpack and settle in. weeks ago), there were leakage problems in the ceiling, resulting in a few soaked volumes, she said. "When we came over, the contractor was removing his buckets," she said. To protect the books, Reid said they were covered with plastic and the wet volumes were removed to dry out. Despite the inconveniences, including some reported delays in phone service in other parts of the building, Hinton remains upbeat about the move's general success. "Oh, we had leakage problems," he said. "I'm not sure that's not to be anticipated with a new building. The silver lining behind the cloud was that the contractor was still on site to fix any problems." Hinton added that there were rain- In the meantime, Reid said that the library is open for student use of inter-library loans, reserved class reading materials and a few other services. "I admire p eople's powers of concentration," said Reid. "Because it is not quiet" as the rush to install the shelving continues.

"Dr. Zomalt will be asked to be one of two senior administrative officers reporting to the president." In the new position, Zomalt and his staff will hold responsibilities in the areas of business,financialand student services, according to Stacy.

Dr. Richard Millman will continue his responsibilities as vicepresident for academic affairs as the second senior position mentioned by Stacy in his annoucement Millman will continue to oversee all teaching, discovery and learning opportunities provided to students, faculty and the local area. Library implements no food/drink policy A no food or drinking policy has been implemented by the Cal S tate San Marcos library, it was announced recently. According to a statement from the library, the policy was established as a preventative measure to protect and preserve library materials for continued use. Food particles and drink spills can attract rodents and can otherwise damage library materials, according to the release. "On the Los Vallecitos campus there were not too many places to eat," said Marion Reid, director of library services. "But that was more of a family atmosphere, and food and books don't really go well together. But now that there's the Commons Building and other options, we felt it was necessary to implement this policy." The policy includes sports bottles and lidded containers for hot drinks. Students who are observed with any food or drink items in the library will be asked to dispose of them. Student Health Services announces opening Student Health Services is now open at the Twin Oaks Valley Road campus to students who need medical care. The clinic is full-service, and students can schedule an office visit with the doctor or nurse practitioner at no charge. Located on the first floor of Craven Hall, Student Health Services is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although student health insurance is available for a fee, it is not necessary to have it in order to receive services at the clinic. Services include immunizations and clearances of I-holds for registration. Every student born after 1955 is required tocome to Student Health Services to show proof of measles and rubella vaccination before being allowed to register for the semester. Immunization, if needed, can be provided at no charge. Students are urged to do this early in the semester to avoid waiting in long lines later. Student Health Services also offers family planning, pelvic exams and annual pap tests for a small fee, as well as treatment for all types of sexually-transmitted diseases. Birth control pills cost $5 per month and condoms are available for $2 a dozen. Prescriptions can also be ordered at low cost, and many lab tests, such as pregnancy testing, strep throat cultures and tuberculosis testing (as required for student teaching) are free. All medical services are strictly confidential. Health education services include nutritional advice, pregnancy counseling, smoking cessation workshops and support groups for eating disorders and weight reduction. Classes involving yoga, Tai Chi and Jazzercise and perhaps a walking group may be in the works if students are interested. Additional information can be obtained by calling Susan Mendes at 752-4915. Students interested in classes can also call this number. Send news briefs to Pioneer, Cal State San Marcos, San Marcos, CA 92096. Releases may also be delivered to the Associated Students office. Wettest January on record Flood damage minimal to campus In what is now on record as the wettest January in San Diego history, Cal State San Marcos experienced few problems at the permanent Twin Oaks Valley Road campus. While many other parts of the county were fighting raging flood waters and erosion problems, university staff had to deal with minor erosion and leakage situations, according to office of architecture and construction director Dr. Bernard Hinton. The heavy rains dumped a deluge of water on campus, resulting in reported leaks in the campus" new buildings. In the Academic Hall, it was reported that two inches of water flooded the computer labs underneath the special floorboards used in the rooms. There have, as of yet, been no reports of damage to computers. Hinton said there were a few leaks in some windows in Craven Hall. At the same time, the library was faced with water problems of its own, according to library services Director Marion Reid. Plastic had to be placed over books sitting on the floor after some had gotten soaked by leaks in the ceiling in Craven Hall, she said. The deluge caused minimal erosion problems, however, according to Hinton. "We have under contract engineers with respect to (erosion control)," said Hinton. "And they already had modeled for us an erosion control system." Hinton said that a more permanent system f or controlling future erosion is in the works. He also credited personnel in the ROMAN S .

Hinton said they were responsible f or sandbagging and dealing with any erosion that did occur. They also took other preventative measures that helped stop possible substantial erosion, he said. Any problems that did occur were cleaned up by the first week of school. Grievance policy approved by senate, president ROMAN S. KOEWIG/EDITOR-INOHIEF Cal State San Marcos' Faculty Senate accepted an interim student grievance policy Dec. 9, followed by approval from university President Dr. Bill Stacy. Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the director/coordinator ofpublic services for the CSUSM library, headed the Student Affairs Committee of the Academic Senate that drafted the interim policy. "I was pleased to find out that thisdidreceivepresidential approval," she said. The policy, according to Biggs, is the culmination of a fall semester-long project that looked at elements of student grievance policies from state universities throughout California. After reviewing elements of these policies, the committee specifically began to focus on San Diego State University' s student grievance policy, she said. To learn more about it, the committee contacted an SDSU ombudsman to help sort out key elements of the document. Dr. Shelly Zwick, legal counsel to Cal State San Marcos, was then contacted to sort out legalities of the new interim policy for CSUSM, Biggs said. According to Biggs, the SDSU policy was adopted in the 1960s andhas remained unchanged, "so we felt comfortable using it because it had stood the test of time," she said. CSUSM's interim policy uses many elements from its counteipart at San Diego State as a result, Biggs said. During the process of drafting the document, however, controversy arose at Cal State San Marcos concerning a student grievance issue, she said. Pioneer reported last semester that two students made grievances against mathematics professor K. Brooks Reid, claiming that Reid favored male students in his classes. The grievance came up during hearings to promote Reid as Honors Committee chair. In reaction to the students' claims, other students later came to Reid's defense. Reid was later appointed to the chair position. Biggs said that the controversy made more urgent the Student Affairs Committee's job to draft the interim policy. She said that the policy SEE GRIEVANCE/PAGE 4 �GRIEVANCE Non-discrimination statement debate continues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Welcome back, i t's good to see basis of race, gender, sexual you.

Highs and lows of cholesterol Research delving into question: 'Are low levels of cholesterol a risk?' The public health message on cholesterol has certainly reached Americans, and millions of people work hard to keep their cholesterol levels within recommendation by the AmericanHeartAssociationandother organizations. Also, to reduce their risk of heart disease, people eat healthfully and pxercise regularly. On the other hand, there have been recent reports in the mass media that there is a risk to having very low levels of cholesterol. This is not a problem for the vast majority of people, but it is estimated that 5-10% of people have low cholesterol levels probably due to genetics; Diet and other factors do not change this level. The recent studies and reports provide fuel for the debate on how low is too low.

YOU wr, ktNvtì Grievance policy sets diplomatic approach The approval ofan interim student grievance policy by the Academic Senate and President Stacy is a good sign that the interests of students are truly being considered. The most important aspect of this policy is the ability for a student to file a grievance at what is called the informal level. Bonnie Biggs, who heads the Student Affairs Committee responsible for the document's drafting, said that the students' best way of solving a grievance filed against a faculty member is informally— through a civil dialogue with a mediator where adecision can be made without a formal hearing O UR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL (KWA 5. Pioneer's goal: to serve you, the reader Starting from scratch isn't easy, especially when it comes to putting together a student newspaper. As the first issue of Pioneer under my editorship hits the stands today, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in accomplishing the nearly impossible—literally creating something from almost nothing. When I took on the task of running this paper over winter break, I had little more than an office full of back issues of the paper. After twoand-a-half years of monumental success under the leadership of Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, I knew I had some big shoes to fill. However, I also knew that taking on this challenge would t)e a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This first issue which you are reading now was put together entirely on my computer at home, as Pioneer does not yet have one of its own. All advertising was sold from both my home and the home of Pioneer's advertising manager Rob Regan, since the newspaper doesn't have a phone yet, either. At times, these inconveniences almost made ftie reconsider continuing with this project, as I be somewhat different this semester. Although the winning of awards and receiving state and nationalrecognitionare nice, the focus ofPioneer will now be centered more towards home—the campus, its people, and the local community. In my experiences in the newspaper business, I have found that it is much more important to be motivated to publish a high quality paper by wanting to serve the community in which it represents, rather than by the bait of R OMAN S. K O E N I G winning recognition. In putting this paper knew only a few of Cal State San Marcos' together for the firsttime,Iexpectafew mistakes faculty, staff and students, and had to conduct a here and there. What I do not expect are a majority of story interviews by phone out of my plethora of awards for the work presented in house. But I knew I had an obligation to see to these pages. This newspaper's goal, as I said it that the campus newspaper continue to thrive before, is to serve you, the reader, with the best and succeed. possiblecampuscoverage. If the staff ofPioneer Already, Pioneer has quite a few trophies wins awards in trying to achieve this goal, that's under its belt thanks to Boisjolie and Young, all the better. specifically the successful running of the California Intercollegiate Press Association's I cannot promise you that we'll win any annual conference last year and the numerous awards this year, but I can promise you one awards of excellence given t o the newspaper thing: both I and the staff will do our best to put and its staff. out a student newspaper that is of high quality From my standpoint, as fantastic as these and worthy of your readership, be it homemade accomplishments may be, my goal as editor will or created on campus. POINT O F VIEW in front of the Student Grievance Committee (which is currently being formed). We couldn't agree more. Filing a grievance is an important decision on the part of the student, but coming to an understanding and eventual agreement through dialogue between the two parties is of utmost importance. The "Level One" section of the grievance policy outlines a clear procedure for an informal solution, and there are a number of f aculty m embers f rom c ounseling and psychological services and other studentoriented departments designated to mediate such grievance conflicts. The first paragraph of the informal "Level One" sectionreads like this: "Whenever a student feels aggrieved by a faculty member, an administrator, or a staff member, the student should consult with such persons as fellow students, the Associated Students, noninvolved faculty members, the counseling staff, and others for the following purposes: 1) Assistance in defining problem, 2) Exploring options for resolution, 3) Attempting to resolve theconflict." A student grievance complaint can be a sticky situation, as in the case of mathematics professor K. Brooks Reid last semester, and accusations by studentsagainstfaculty members can have the possibility of getting out of hand. This informal section of the policy may help to preventapotential witch-hunt situation by calling the two parties together and settling differences diplomatically. However, informal proceedings may not always work, so the existence of a "Level Two" formal procedure, where there are hearings, investigations and a final decision by the grievance committee, is another option outlined in the policy. The bottom line is that this new interim policy furthers students' rights against possible mistreatment by anyone at the university, whether they be a student, faculty or staff member, dean or program director. Even better is the available choice to carry out a grievance in a diplomatic fashion. Pioneer congratulates the Student Affairs Committee. �An open letter to President Bill Clinton Editor's note: This letter was sent to President Bill Clinton, and was submittedfor publication in Pioneer.

Dear sir, Listening to your campaign, and most especially watching the 1992 Democratic convention, I for the first time felt leal hope that at last my service to my country would be honorably remembered. At this time my service is remembered with disgrace through no fault of my own. It is remembered with disgrace because I am gay. I entered the Army National Guard when I was still in high school, at the age of 17.1 was in an armored infantry unit, and wouldoften spend weeks at a time buttoned up in a tank, out in the middle of the desert Believe me, the issue never came up. There was never any time to think about it; the mission always came first. My patriotism was never in question, nor was my ability to serve. I was a United States soldier. I carried out my duties with pride, and I am disgusted when anyone suggests that I looked upon my fellow soldiers with anything less than respect. S PEAK O UT STUDENT COMMENTARY I was able to transfer into the active duty Air Force, and spent another two years performing in a maintenance squadron both here and in Europe. It was in England that I fell in love with another man who was also stationed on the base. The love didn't harm me, it was the most natural thing I had ever experienced. Itwas the guilt that destroyed me. I felt guilty because I knew I was breaking military regulations. I had never lied before, and I always wished to follow the rules to the best of my ability. But how couldI follow this rule? I tried, by God I tried, but living the lie proved too much for me, and I was summarily discharged under article 39-10: psychologically incompatible for military service. My discharge was honorable, but I felt my service was a disgrace. Why should any veteran who answered his country's call, and performed his service dutifully, feel ashamed? Why should anyone raised to tell the truth be so forcedtoconstandy lie, even in hisowncountry? I was devastated. Finally coming to grips with my sexuality and being discharged because of it were enough to send me into denial and depression for over two years. I have now pulled my life together, and I havefinallyrealized that the fault was not my own; it was a homophobic policy that placed an unfair standard upon me. If I had received compassion and understanding so that I could have accepted who I am, instead of being forced to lie about it, I could have continued to render the service to which I had been trained. In the end it was the tax payer that lost, for all the money that was spent on my training was lost because of an outdated policy that never made any sense. I am hopeful that you will end this policy that forced me to lie. Let me tell the truth, and let me and my family remember my service as an honorable one. Sincerely, Donald P. Scott ScottisaHistorymajoratCalStateSanMarcos. As a footnote, President Clinton last week put offfor six months the executive order calling to lift the ban on gays in the military. Pioneer editorial sparks response by student official I am a little surprised at the censorship of information in your recent (Nov. 3,1992) op/ed piece. Surely, as journalists, you are aware of the fact that there is more than one form of censorship. You accused me of active censorship by removing comments from the board in the Dome Café. This is not denied. However, I accuse you of passive censorship by omitting essential parts of the story of the now infamous "Free Speech" board. The power of thefreepress is an awesome responsibility. You decide what to print and what not to print. This is censorship is it not? You also can print incomplete or misleading stories. This is censorship and injustice, is it not? You also decide whether to cover an event or not Is this also not controlling information? You have accused me of denying "the right for those opinions to be expressed." I accuse you of the same violation. Several weeks before this incident I asked to be contacted by the paper to express alternative views from those being presented to the paper by the (Associated S tudents) council and clubs. I was not contacted. Yes;, the student council c ontrols information. Yes, the administration controls information.

In what was billed as a music and dance expedition to the west African nation of Ghana became "the experience of a lifetime" for a 13member delegation from California State University, San Marcos during winter break. The delegation, which was organized by ethnomusicology professor W. Komla Amoaku, not only learned something about traditional music and dance but also came away with a better understanding of world citizenship as they assisted their Ghanaian colleagues in a number of educational areas. Individual members worked on a plethora of projects such as faculty and graduate student exchanges, mathematics education for girls, and problems related to computers. For entourage leader and CSUSM Executive Vice-President Ernest Zomalt, the greatest surprise was the visit to Ho, a village that also is Amoaku's home town. "It was intense," said/Zomalt. "Somehow you get conjured up in your own mind what a village is, and when you get their you see 2-3,000 people in a complex social organization and you find it is nothing like this mythical village. That was the high point personally — the interaction with the people in Ho and the opportunities in the village." On the professional level, Zomalt sees opportunities for a liaison between CSUSM, the Ghana Education Service (GES), and the three universities that are in Ghana. "This trip was not initially planned for (inter-)institutional interaction," said Zomalt. "I think what we can do for the universities in Ghana is to probably start with some faculty exchange to bring some new ideas into the university because they" are moving to the course credit system and away from their traditional British system. Organizationally we can help with that, but more importantly we can help with new disciplinary ideas of instruction, of working with students, of delivering the program." Zomalt adds that this could be funded with Fullbright scholarships and aid from US government agencies such as USAID. One professor who is already starting to work with Ghanaians is Carolyn Mahoney, program director for the mathematics department. In a series of lectures coordinated by Science, Technology, and Mathematics Education Desk Officer Georgina Quazee of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Mahoney presented a number of public forums introducing the concept of mathematics education for girls as well as a four-day workshop to a group of 50 female elementary school teachers-in-training on how to teach mathematics. "I had no idea that I had to do this," said Mahoney. "I didn't have any materials, and so I thought T his is an interesting challenge — How will you do a workshop when you don' t have anything?' "Mahoney said SEE GHANA/PAGE 9 �GHANA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 that she talked with a number of officials within the GES about it and found out during the dialog that, "...They wouldn't have anything either, so let's do a workshop where they would understand the issues and then come up with ways to use whatever they have in their environment Mark Hopkins (thrid from left) along with Dr. Ernest and Leslie Zomalt (third &fourthfrom will help them deliver the kind of that rigit) pose in traditional Kente cloth robes in with newfound friendsinHo. math and science pedagogue and con- We would like to put your mind to rest. —A PARTMENT S - Swimming pool • Two laundry rooms • Dishwashers • Air conditioning • Disposal • Private balconies/patios • Secured private storage • Covered carports »Lighted Tennis Court Half-Court Basketball Club Room w/ Kitchen Private Patio/Balcony 24-Hour Monitored Alarm in Each Apartment All units are light and airy and include wall carpets, refrigerator, drapes and blinds.

NEWS 3 Japanese company donates college's largest endowment In an effort to help create international understanding in the North County Community, a Japanese firm, last week announced the creation of a $500,000endowment toCal State San Marcos, to establish an annual international festival. The endowment is the largest gift to CSUSM to date. At an evening reception held Sept. 25 and attended by 500 area business and community leaders, Yoshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy, representing the first annual increment to fund the Itoman International Festival at CSUSM. The yearly international festival will promotepublic understanding of Japanese and other nations' business and culture. "We are becoming ä global economy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an international environment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial $50,000 check to Stacy.

Craven Hall bids under budget $ 14 million offer s ets s tandards L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With an offer that was $ 1.4 million under budget, Cal State San Marcos last week closed bidding to contractors for Craven Hall, the first "feature" building to be constructed at the permanent campus. Bidding for contractors closed at 2 p.m. last Tuesday, with all 11 contractors bidding below the $ 15.8 million budgeted for the building. "This is something I have never heard of before," said Albert Amado, assistant vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. The apparent low bidder for the project was Bodell Construction, of Architect's rendering of Craven Hall. Salt Lake City, Utah. Bodell placed a bid of $14,325,000, less than 1 per- $15,597,000.

Students who had been previously afflicted with the diseases need not provide proof of immunization, but must produce documentation of having had theailments. The documentation must be from a licensed physician. "A lot of students c an't find rec- ords, however, it is safe to reimmunize," says Dr. Joel Grinold, chief physician of S tudent Health Services. According to Grinold, many students, that think they have previously had the diseases, may be mistaken. He says there are a number of viruses that cause rash illnesses similar to mumps, measles and rubella. "Measles in adults is a much more serious illness than in children," Grinold says. Grinold says that adults may experience ear problems, pneumonia and encephalitis as well as rash and fever as a result of the diseases. In addition, pregnant women may experience complications, and mumps is aknown cause of sterility in adult males. To illustrate the importance of immunization, Grinold gives the example of University of Southern California quarterback, Rodney Peefe. Two years ago Peete came down with a case of the measles toward the end of the football season. When USC went to the Rose Bowl, nearly half the team was afflicted with the disease. According to Grinold, many people born between ' 57 and ' 68 may not have received their vaccinations correctly. ' The practice years back was to give the vaccination at 12 months. At that age there is a great possibility that the vaccine won't take,"Grinold says. Even though the vaccine is better now than in previous years, Grinold says there is still a 5 percent chance the vaccine will b e ineffective. Grinold claims that the vaccine is notamedium for AIDS transmission^ so students do not need to fear immunization. "The vaccine is not made from blood products, so there is no risk of AIDS. Student Health Services also uses sterile technique (when admini- stering the shots)," Grinold says. The vaccine is administered free of charge in Student Health Services. Appointments are necessary for students wishing to be immunized. The California State University system requires that all students produce documentation of immunization after one semester of classes. Students can waiver the requirement if it conflicts with religious or personal beliefs. However, if a student does waiver the immunization and an outbreak SEE S HOTS/PAHF r BIDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 will then be sent t o the Chancellor's Office of the California State University system for approval. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the s econd l owest b idder,Taylor Woodrow Construction. Amado said he thinks the low bidding will continue through more projects. "There is no questions that bids will come in lower," he said. "(The building industry) has slowed down, there's not as many projects to bid f or." Amado said the construction industry is now experiencing a "low spot" in business that may last up to three years. He said the competitive nature of the market contributed to the low bids. "A $15 million project can really help a contractor make it through the rough spots," said Amado. In the meantime, Amado said he thinks the beiow-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. "The budget was put together five years ago," said Amado. " It was anybody's guess where the industry or economy would go." Due to a recession in the building industry, a record number of plans were issued to contractors and subcontractors. According to Amado, 280 sets of the plans, at $300 per set, were distributed. The money is refundable upon return of the drawings. Officials in the Cal State Chancellor's Office said the number of plans sold represents the largest number of plans issued for a Cal State campus. H ie 146,000 square-foot building will be thefirstfeature building on the new campus. The lower two floors of the six-story building will be garnished with imported marble. It will serve as a temporary library, holding over 100,000volumes, and will house administration and Student Services Hpon the campus's opening in 1992. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt talks with students after one of last Thursday's student organizational forums. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss methods of operating student-run organizations. Student forums proceed despite low turnout Despite lower than expected turnout at the student organization open forums held last week, college officials have begun the process of organizing student representation on the Cal State San Marcos campus. The purpose of the two forums held last Thursday was to begin the process of organizing studentrun committees to form student organizations such as a government and a newspaper. Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said the turnout at the forums was ' lower than expected/' Even with the low turnout, Zomalt said the forums will continue to be held on a weekly basis. "The purpose (of the forums) is to share general frameworks for starting student organizations," said Zomalt "We want to present to the president a proposal for the establishment of student government, a newspaper, a yearbook, institutionally related activities and a task force to provide a draft of the student handbook and policies/* he said. At the noon forum, Zomalt said he hopes student governmental elections could take place early next spring. He said he would like to see the students at CSUSM form a system of government that is uniquely their own. "There are certain guideline areas that must be followed," said Zomalt, "but the underpinnings that go into it are to be evolved and shared with students." Z omaltsaidtheformof student organizations can move in almost any direction as long as the guidelines f or the organizations are concurrent with Cal State University disciplines. Zomalt suggested that in o nto to write guidelines and policies, student committees should become familiar with restrictions placed forth in Title 5 , a code outlining policies of sharedgovernance in the educational system. "The slate i sn't absolutely clear (on formulas for student organizations), but some of the dots are already connected," said Zomalt. Last month, CSUSM President Bill Stacy appointed Zomalt to chair a task force to develop plans and review options of student organizations f or the fall term, Therese Baker, head of the Academic Senate, was also appointed to the task force by Stacy. In addition to Zomalt, two faculty members of the primary task force committee. Kenneth Mendoza, the chair of the Academic Senate's committee on student affairs, and Pat Farris, director of Business services, were appointed to serve on the committee. At the meeting, more forums, to be held on a regular basis, were scheduled. Zomait and the students present at the forums agreed that Tuesdaysat 12:30p.m. would be the most convenient time to hold the forums. All forums will take place in the Multipurpose Room* Building 145, Room 9. At today *s forum, Zomalt said that he hopes to form committees and subcommittees. These groups will be open to all students with meetings to be held at times other than the scheduled forum times.. These committees will make suggestions to the president through the academic senate on how to run studentorganizations, Zomalt said. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 , 1 990/PIQNEER Library computer program aids with career guidance Developed by a team of researchers 'and specialists at Educational Testing Service, SIGI PLUS (System oflnteractiveGuidanceandlnformation PLUS) combines the unique capabilities of the computer with thoroughly researched data bases of occupations, skill, interests, values and educational programs.

A T HOUGHTS "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Incumbents unmoved by compromise Congressional negotiators, our servants, are going on their fifth month of summits aimed at balancing the budget. The formula is simple enough: do more with less. Compounding the synergy is a list of special interests-many without public s pirit-too numerous to list.

Likewise, the Republicans' myopic insis- Additionally, some programs, such as national defense, benefit from economics of scale, and could not be managed otherwise. On the other hand, the private sector is unprguably the best conduit of earned wealth and societal advancement, and thereby serves the most when it is permitted to prosper. Ironically, the finest solution is for government to do less to accomplish more for everyone's well being.

Age need not be a barrier. The older student population of CSUSM has the wisdom of experience to contribute to the infant campus. Who is better suited for forming a new system of government than those who have seen the faults of the old ones? The biggest fear is that the vim and vigor that seems so externally prevalent at CSUSM will be lost with internalized apathy. This kind apathy, for instance was seen last spring when Stanford University elected Bart Simpson for student body president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for its senate. Wanting to make an impression at CSUSM that will last forever is fine in theory, but actually venturing out and taking advantage of the opportunities that are available is the only way to cross the river of challenges to a lasting future. . . . ; . . .. . �8 EXPLORI m j f H fjSffi&t f H H B _ p i o n e e r / t u e s d a y , o c t o b e r 2,1900 Tourists traps abundant on tiny island.

For $38 you can buy a boat rip and ten minutes in the air. Para-Sailing is just one of the tourist-oriented traps at Avalon Bay in Catalina. Most of the tours end up at Avalon Bay, but there are other packages which allow you to visit other parts of the island, away from the tourist influx of Avalon. Avalon Bay is easy to get around in. If you choose not to walk, bicycles and electric (golf) carts can be rented. The electric carts are in abundance at Avalon Bay. So, if you're familiar with Rancho Bernardo or Lake San Marcos, the SEE I SLAND /PAGE 9 •i �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1990/PIQNEER I SLAND CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 electric carts will make you feel right at home. You c an't miss them. The Sea Jet cruise line out of San Diego and Oceanside Harbors o ffer you the option of buying admission to a few tours of the island. The tours are independently operated by Sea Jet, so blame them when you come away disappointed. The "Glass Bottom Boat Trip" takes you out around the edge of the island to peer into the sea. For 40 minutes you stare through the the glass-bottomed boat to hopefully get a glimpse of something amusing in the sea. Actually, what visitors see mostly is the abundance of kelp growing from the sea's floor. All sea life is virtually obscured by the waving kelp. The boat is the largest glassbottomed boat in the world, which is probably the most interesting aspect of this tour. On land, tours of the city of Avalon are available. Tourists are herded into an "open air" bus and taken around the inner and outer reaches of Avalon for 50 minutes. Aside from the electric carts which the tour drivers squeeze between, this tour affords a spectacular view of Avalon Bay. ^ffc F ile E dit O ption EXPLORE But probably the preferred tour is the 3 and 3/4-hour Island Motor Tour, a half-day adventure that takes you to the inner sanctions of the island. The wildlife is diverse. The island is home to 12 North American Bald Eagles and some 400 North American Bison. The bison were brought to the island in 1924 to be used in the movie 'Vanishing America.' The studio producing the picture brought 14 of the bison to the island and left them there after filming was complete. The small population of bison adapted to the island and grew to the size it is today. Reportedly, the bison can weight up to 2,000 pounds and still run as fast as a race horse. If you ride the Sea J et's line to the island from San Diego and take the tours, you are left with just over an hour to explore Avalon Bay. Away from the B ay's shops and the tourists, Avalon's side streets and quaint neighborhoods are the charm of city. Yet, even this quaint atmosphere is disrupted by the electric carts that tourists have rented and residents use to get around the bay. Overall, Catalina has much to offer the daytime tourist, but plan on spending a weekend on the island if you wish to experience its charms to the fullest.

The Sea Jet crew, mostly made up of young, energetic people, does everything aboard the boat.

The opinion changes season to season. Once autumn rolls around, the 2,500 year-round residents enjoy a respite from the summertime crowds, which average 10,000 to 20,000 people per day. Michael Haphe, 23, an islander for most of his life, doesn't mind when the fall season rolls around. For him i t's a chance to catch up with life. "From an islander's point of view, i t's crowded (during the summer)," Haphe says. The tanned lifeguard reflects on his l ife as an islander. " You're used to such a slow pace nine months o ut of the year." But the young Catalina native also admits, " it's f un (in the summer). You meet lots of people and do a lot of f un things." Haphe lived most of his youth on the island, attending school in Avalon until the 11th grade. He returns each summer from college EXPLORE 1 1 PAR ACHUTE: The umbrella canopy of the parachute suspends the rider in the sky like a kite.

Haphe leans on the pier's railings, squints in the late afternoon sun and thinks about the changing of the seasons, and his change in favorite seasons. "When I was living here," he says, "the summer was my favorite part of the year. T hat's when all the people are here. Now, I like the autumn. I t's a little less fast-paced.

CONTROL STRAPS: By pulling on the nylon harness straps, the rider can control aerial movement. iling, an uplifting ride Like a kite floating on the end of a string, you sway lazily in the sky. You become one with the clouds and the wind as your parachute suspends you in mid air. Para-sailing gives the airborne thrill seeker the chance to experience the delights enjoyed by thermal-riding birds and butterflies. For $38 and 8-10 magnificent minutes, visitors to Catalina can fly like a kite above the pristine city of Avalon. Island Cruzers offers the thrill with an emphasis on safety and excitement The concept of para-sailing is remarkably simple; the rider is suspended in the sky by a parachute and is pulled behind a boat with a 300-foot length of rope. Although the sport looks dangerous and difficult, it is surprisingly safe and simple. Even amateur adventurers will find the activity to be easier than riding a bicycle. First the rider is strapped into a relatively nonrestrictive harness. The harness, constructed of nylon straps, fits snugly around the legs and chest. Although it looks frail and without supportive structure, the harness is very strong and gives the rider extensive freedom of movement. A large, colorful parachute flaps behind and a sturdy lifeline connects the para-sailer to the b oat To insure safety and facilitate the launch process, Island Cruzers has installed a hydraulic wench to the lifelines * The wench feeds the rope out from the boat evenly, allowing the para-sailer to launch without touching the water. Air fills the parachute and, as SEEKERS the boat builds speed, the rider is lifted into the sky. Once airborne, the para-sailer sees the world from an uniquely bird-like point of view. The landscape below unfolds like a blossoming flower as the parachute flaps gently in the breeze. The rider settles into a calm pocket of air hundreds of feet above the ocean's water. It is almost as if the world has stopped revolving so the parasailer can settle in and enjoy the view. The most unsettling aspect of the ride comes with the realization that the boat, which is towing the rider and parachute, is only a distant moving speck. The rider becomes acutely aware that the only thing stopping him/her from being swept away into the sky, is the umbilical connecting him to the boat. Even more unsettling is the view straight down, as the rider sees his feet dangling far above the ocean below. The thougnt that the rope could break at any time or the harness might suddenly give way, adds tension and a sense of danger to an otherwise placid flight Once the rider becomes acclimated to the feeling of flying on a tether, the true fun begins with the realization that the parachute can actually be controlled. When the rider tugs on the harness straps behindhis/her head, the parachute responds by actually turning toward the direction of the strap pulled. If the left strap is pulled, for example, the parachute will veer in that direction. By tugging on one side the harness, the para-sail»' releases air from that side of the parachute, causing it to dip in the direction pulled. If the rider pulls both straps simultaneously, the parachute loses altitude. A fun exercise is to pull both straps at the same time until the parachute dips about 50 feet. After dropping, simply release the straps and the parachute will regain its previous altitude almost instantaneously. When the ride nears its end, the boat slows to a crawl and the hydraulic wench reels in the tether. The rider is brought back to the deck of the boat gently and safely without touching even a drop water. Para-sailing is an uplifting experience for thrill seekers of ^ almost any age or sex and should not be passed by. Para-sailing adventures are also offered throughout Mexico, but be prepared to get w et Most places in Mexico that offer para-sailing d on't use a hydraulic wench. So the next time the urge to go fly a kite arises, check out the view from the other end of the string. �12 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 ,1990 EXPLORE CATALIN A guide to island tours, activities and restaurants Catalina is an island paradise located just west of America's most populous state.

KOENIG/PIONEER A small jump in student enrollment along with additional campus population from the old Los Vallecitos location has caused a shortage of parking spaces. CSUSM sees enrollment upturn T he student population at Cal State San Marcos h as taken a small jump this s emester, according to Betty J . Huff, director of Enrollment Services. According to Huff, t he total student population stands at 1,961 with a full-time enrollment ofl,400. Last fall, t he number of total number of students topped at 1,904 with full-time enrollment at 1,301. "It's a big jump from last year," said Huff. "But we were hoping to have 1,500 full-time by this time." Huff said that an unanticipated f ee i ncrease may h ave effected t he number of students enrolling at t he university this semester. "I can't say exactly why, but we're going to try and do a survey of those students who didn't (choose to attend t he university) and see why they didn't,'* s he said. Huff cited t he sluggish economy in general a s another possible reason why t he student population wasn't higher this spring. Full-time enrollment figures are not based on individual students, according to Huff. She said that to g et t he full-time figure, t he total number of credit units generated must b e added up and divided by 15. T his figure is used for funding purposes, s he said.

Beginning Feb. 8, the library expanded services to include reference and access to periodicals, as well as all but one of the l ibrary's e lectronic r esource s ystems, a ccording to announcement by Director of Library Services Marion Reid. Connections for the remaining system, Lexis/Nexis, are still pending. Maps for classroom use are also now available, Reid stated. They are located in the library circulation area just inside the courtyard door of t he library on the third floor. Although several services have been expanded, it will be awhile before all of the circulating books will be available, according to Reid, since bookshelves from the Los Vallecitos campus are still being installed. Reid also announced the availability of tours of the library, which will run Feb. 22-26. Further information about the tours can be obtained by calling 471-6494, or by referring to t he Pioneer calendar section.

Kreisler will be available for students during t he evening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Kreisler will be available to answer questions about university procedures, for drop-in counseling needs and for information regarding where to go for answers to specific questions about student life.

Two fairs will be held that day as part of the CSUSM Inaugural Career Fair, according to the statement Beginning at 11 a.m. and running to 1:30 p.m., the general career fair will include representatives of business, industry, government and social service agencies. The second offering, the education career fair, will focus on multiple-subject teaching credential positions, and will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Career Center has several suggestions on how students can best present themselves at the career fairs. • Bring a resumé: especially if the student is available for immediateemploymentorattheendofthecurrentsemester If a student doesn't have a resumé with them, they are advised to get a name, title and address of the employer and send one. Slimmer employment and internship positions should also have a resumé. • Make a favorable impression: Students are advised to come dressed better than school attire but not as formal as an interview, although some students do dress in interview attire. • Make a personal contact: with a variety of employers. Students are asked to be flexible, because they may encounter last-minute cancellations, crowded conditions and lines to talk to certain employers. • Show enthusiasm and interest: Employers are impressed with a positive attitude, according to the Career Center. A good handshake and eye contact are essential, they advise. • Be ready to ask questions: The employer representatives are stuck behind a table. They want to talk with students, so they should be approached with three generic questions. Students are advised to be the initiator. • Follow up: If a student is really interested in a company, agency or district, students should get abusinesscard from the recruiter and send a "thank you" note for their time and information, according to the Career Center. Additional information about the Inaugural Career Fair can be obtained by calling Sandy Punch at 7524900.

I ask the question because as of late, I feel like I've gone back in time — back to a time over 30 years ago when a man named Sen. Joe McCarthy ruined lives and heightened the infamous aRed Scare" by implicating people as being communists, t hus ruining people's reputations. What gets me most is that the situation I have been witnessing is occurring right here at Cal State San Marcos, in one of my classes. Perhaps one of the finest history professors I have ever encountered has been facing under-the-table ridicule from a few students who seem to imply that h e is a communist Why? Because in his history class, h e applies a theory of history proposed by Karl Marx which says that within every society lies the seeds of its own destruction. "So what?" you might say. These few other issues of Americana, which had very little if anything to do with the subject in class that day, in debating with the professor. Needless to say, I have been shocked by t hese occurrences, and the class at times feels very uncomfortable because of it. R OMAN S .

T he events I have been witnessing in my class have lessened my hope for our generation's ability to tolerate alternative viewpoints— whether they be liberal or conservative. �ôtt*eet7cà Q uestion: How would you have killed jr. high school student Jennifer Loscher?

Ti Don't misinterpret professors' actions I perceive a tendency a mong t he CSUSM student body to mislabel sexist t he actions of some of our faculty. Twice last semester I was approached by fellow students that expressed dismay at what they described a s sexist attitudes displayed by professors. One professor is male, t he other female. In each case t he complaining s tudent w as o pposite s ex f rom t he instructor. Also in each case, t he students proceeded to take action. I have gotten to know each of t hese professors through classes and committee membership. In either case, I can by no means agree t here exists a sexist attitude. I believe insufficient thought is often given to what exactly t he intent of a professor's actions mightbe.Thisinsufficientthought is exemplified in an editorial r un by t he Pioneer in t he Nov. 17,1992 issue. In a n a rticle e ntitled " Feminist movement with a new twist," Pioneer Editor-in-Chief Larry Boisjolie grossly misinterprets t he underlying message in a feminist film (unquestionably Marleen Gorris> "A Question of Silence") and consequently misinterprets t he intent of the professor that played t he film. His KKK a nalogy a nd s ubsequent admonishment t hat a (any) instructor who advocates racism (should) b e relieved of teaching responsibilities..." lacks insight and sensitivity. His inferred contention that militant feminists engage m activities similartoKKKta(^csisanmsulttofeminist goals.

FEBRUARY 17, 1993 Pioneer I SARAH SCHULTZ/STUDENT WRITER • 1 I « • • You pull up to a stoplight, eating a bag of peanuts. A refrigeration truck rumbles to a stop beside you, and the soles of your shoes are killing you. On the news, you hear of a child that is saved by a blood transfusion. What do these things have to do with African-American History Month? They are all invention&created by African-Americans, inventions which are just one part of a rich history that is too often forgotten and ignored. How many Americans know that these things were contributed to American society by AfricanAmericans? Very few, with this writer included. Dr. Edward Thompson, III, associate professor of political science and president of the Academic Senate at C.S.U.S.M, feels that very little AfricanAmerican history is taught to the general public, and that t he month is important and necessary to educate African-Americans as, well as o thers about t he rich history and culture. "I think it's an opportunity for me to recognize my heritage and feel good that society is paying some attention to that a s well. It's also an opportunity to counteract some of the negative images and stereotypes that developed around black Americans," Thompson said. "What you see in t erms of imagery of ^^^^^^ African-Americans is a simplistic sort of imagery where African-Americans are on the T V. only if they ^^^^^^^ are playing sports or if they are singing and dancing, or telling jokes. Certainly, the imagery that's on T.V. is bad imagery for everyone. But if you have a little bit of contact with African-Americans and your contact is limited to what you see on television, then what you s ee on television does not project a very good image." Ricky Ausby, a Liberal Studies major in his junior year at C.S.U.S.M, is another who feels that African-American history is not generally taught, especially in schools. When h e was a junior in high school, Ausby says his history class went over only two African-American figures: Martin Luther King and Bill Cosby. ' They didn't even mention that Bill Cosby was an educated man," Ausby said. "All they mentioned was that h e was a comedian." Although Ausby agrees that African-Americaa History Month is important to both educate others and recognize often ignored accomplishments, h e holds the view that it is a shame the month h as to exist at all.

T o say that we're going to single out one month, and then forget it after that month, in a way, is a downer," Thompson said. "I think there should be an equal recognition of all cultures, and all peoples, and I don't think that we have an equal recognition at all times." C.S.U.S.M. s tudent Opal Johnson, a senior majoring in English, says that while she has been able to learn about AfricanAmerican history, it has been something she has had to reach out for in order to gain knowledge of. "There are so many achievements that have been made by black people that aren't recognized,"Johnson said. "That's history not told." She sees African-American History Month as not only reaffirming black history but also as reaffirming ancestral connection. "It is important to know where you camefrom,"Johnson said. "All people should seek their history because it will tell them about themselves and their forefathers. If you understand your past, then your future becomes clearer." Cecelia Blanks, a C.S.U.S.M. senior majoring in Social Science inorderto become an educational counselor, also believes the past holds a close relationship with the future, and thinks this month is helpful in revealing a past so often hidden. "It's a really valuable thing for me to reflect on where I came from and to give me vision on where I'm going," Blanks said. "If we don't know what our past is, we're doomed to repeat it, from what I've always been told." Blanks feels education plays a key role in prejudice, and sees African-American History Month as an event that can educate. "This month could h elp prejudice decrease," Blanks s ad.

And then they will cut down on those stereotypes that have been s etup over years, or from what somebody might have told them from a lack of knowledge." CSUSM and equality And how does C.S.U.S.M. stand up as far as educating others about African-American history, enabling those from other cultures to pursue a college education, and being an example of a campus that is not racist but instead, with its Mission Statement, welcomes all cultures with open arms? Although the university excels in many of these areas compared to other colleges, it, like all institutions, is not perfect. It seems that the university, just as America, has a long way to go. "I think that in terms of the programs and t he activities, I think the campus is doing a good job, during the month of February," Thompson said. "But there are proportionatelyvery few African-American students, Latino students, (etc.), at this institution. You have a diverse faculty, and you have a diverse curriculum. Butyou don'thave as diverse student body, given the demographics of the North County region." Thompson made it clear that, while he was not saying that efforts weren't being made, h e was not where h e would hope to be right now. He hopes that the university can go ahead and redouble its efforts in order to increase diversity among the students.

"(The university) says they're supposed to be representing the under-represented, and we're totally part of t he under-represented, along with Asians, and Native Americans, (etc.)," Blanks said. "Why notfocus on whatyou say you're trying to focus on?" Ausby feels that C:S.U.S.M. gives African-American students an opportunity to recognize this month, but he also thinks it's a shame that if it's going to be done, it has to be done by the AfricanAmerican students. "I don't think it's justa black issue," Ausby said. "Everyone should get involved." Ausby would like to see the university take more of a role in African-American History Month. He says that most of the activities during this month were put on by t he African/African-American Student Alliance, with the exception of the play "1001 Black Inventions" and a jazz concert, which C.S.U.S.M. sponsored. The rest of it, Ausby said, was mainly left in the hands of the students, and they did most of the work. Ausby, who helped get the university to endorse the play, said he would like to see the administration and President Bill Stacy get more involved and help out the students more, arid in that way better acknowledge the importance of African-American History Month. However, Ausby thinks the university does provide a range of c lasses in which AfricanAmerican a chievements and contributionscan be learned. One example is an English class focusing on Toni Morrison, which studies the works of the African- 2 12 W. S an Marcos Bvld.

Johnson feels proud to be a student at C.S.U.S.M., and says that the university is interested in seeing that there is an inclusion of black history and black endeavors throughout the campus. Blanks believes that more of the school and faculty need to get involved in African-American History Month. Right now, Blanks says, it's mostly the African-American club doing t he work, and without having a large amount of money set aside they couldn't do very much. Blanks believes that prejudice is present in American society, and that America is stepping farther and farther into more racism. "I thought it would be bad being from Texas, but when I came to California it was much worse here than it was there," Blanks said. "At least in Texas you knew when a white person hated you — they told y ou—but in California, people try to cover it up." Blanks recounted a scene she witnessed during spring semester registration. She says a Mexican woman was standing in the line, and another woman said to her, "Why don't you go back where you camefrom,wetback!" Blanks said she was shocked; this wasatC,S.U.S.M., in Admissions and Records, waiting to g et classes. Ausby also believes that in terms of prejudice, America is regressing, and that this country has a very long way to go before equality is reached. He sees a disparity of wealth and education for African-Americans, as well a s a high infant mortality rate and a high death rate of young AfricanAmericans. Ausby feels t hat America should fight a war on poverty and lack of education with as much intensity as the war was fought in the Persian Gulf. Blanks said that she believes there is racism on C.S.U.S.M.'s campus, and that a lot of it is created by the Mission Statement of diversity. "A lot of people don't understand what diversity is, and they really don't want it," Blanks explained. ''When you talk about diversity it could mean anything. It could mean re-entry people, women, and the handicapped. We're not talking about making the white people suffer, and have more black people come in or more Asians, so the white people can't have a spot." �10 / K ALEIDOSCOPE P IONEER / W EDNESDAY.

In know that we all did. I hope that you found the club exactly right for you, and if you didn't—well, maybe you can startyour own. I would talk m ore about Club Days, but something much more pressing h as arisen.. Controversy continues within our not-so-hallowed halls, once again pitting student organization against student organization. T he disgrace is that certain members of t he Associated Students recently decided thatthe Inter-Club Council should not receive any financial help (read: insurance) from the A.S., but should be subsidized by the university. T he implied remains that t he A.S. refuses to continue S UZANNE C LARK paying for this insurance, and if the university refuses to pay as well, clubs will not be able to exist on campus. Club insurance is t he one item that requires the most financial assistance for campus organizations. I feel that the issue of cost is a moot one. The A.S. collects $15 from each of u s at the beginning of the semester. They are pleading poverty since full-time enrollment is down; but full-time students are not the only ones paying the fee. T he numbers I hear concerning t he A S. budget (and mind you, these are rumors) are approximately $80,000 per annum. The A.S. is supposedly dedicated to students and student activities. I guess that dedication does not extend to students involved in clubs. Insurance is required by law. T he clubs—many of which can barely keep their headsabovewater, many ofwhich arefinanciallysupported by their club presidents, and many of which do not desire to charge dues that would exclude many people — cannot afford to pay t his i nsurance t hemselves. Whether the university or the A.S. pays t he fees, clubs should not be threatened with disbandment.

Health issues affect students Health care and the health care system are on the mind of a majority of Americans. It was a major campaign issue and our new president has given itprominence by appointingthefirstlady, Hilary Rodham Clinton, to head t he White House Task Force on National Health Care Reform. The United States spends approximately $900 billion a year, or 14 percent of the gross national product on health care. Two issues that are vitally important to students will be addressed by the task force. T he first is affordable health insurance, which we know is a problem for students. It is generally known that only one-third of college-age students have comprehensive health insurance. Onethird have some coverage and another one-third have no insurance at all. T he other issue is access to primary and preventative care services. The college health field has long recognized the health problems and need for primary and preventative health care for students. At CSU San Marcos, these services are provided on campus at your Student Health Service. DR. J OEL G RINOLDS I emphasize "your Student Health Service* because we exist to serve the needs of students. In order to better meet t hese needs, a Student Health Advisory Board is being formed. T he general purpose of the Student Health Advisory Board is to promote t he quality and delivery of health care at the university. Most boards take an active role in promoting student/consumer participation in the delivery of health services, also. Other roles include evaluating programs and policies, reviewing students' suggestions a s well a s complaints, and performing student satisfaction surveys. Some boards are very active in relaying health information to t he student body through presentations, surveys, flyers and participation in organizational displays and programs. Membership on t he board is open to any and all CSUSM students.

CSUSM music professor beats to African drum Eyi came to the United States to share his love for music and the African drum. As a master African drummer, he represents t he California Arts Council as an artist in residence for the San Diego City Schools and has found his home at Cal State San Marcos teaching music and dance. a My objective in the United States is to teach,* Eyi explains. "I think people like me are needed to teach about my music.* Eyi admits h e keeps busy in his quest of sharing his music. But every once in a while, h e gets out and jams with some of hisfriends.Most recently, that was at the Jazz by the Way Cafe in San Marcos. On the conga, Eyi gives an unusual and not very traditional aspect to t he Jazz band, Joy Spring. But h e feels that there aren't too many boundaries for his instrument "The conga is an instrument that can be used for various types of music,* Eyi said in between sets at the cafe. "It's the same as the guitar. It's the same instrument, butyou canuse itfor different styles.* Eyi's experience as a drummer comes from his native land of Africa, where h e is considered to be a master at his trade. There, his music and dance is never separated. "The master drummer speaks to the dancer,* Eyi said. He explained that through the performance, the dancer can be instructed to move forward or back, to jump and dance side to side — an unlimited number of moves—just by the beat of the rhythm. "When you get to the point when you can communicate with the dancer, then you are a master drummer.* How long has Eyi been a drummer? "If you ask me as an African, it's very hard to tell,* Eyi said, adding that h e has been playing since he was a small boy. "But if you ask me how long I've played professionally, then it's been about 15 years.* Eyi will soon be transferring his artist residence to the Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Art, a magnet school in the Vista Unified School District Out of all of his many jobs teaching and playing, h e looks forward to that the m ost "That gives me a lot of pleasure,* h e said.

University's architecture reflects Italian style Over the next few decades, students attending the Cal State San Marcos will study in an atmosphere similar to that of a Mediterranean village. The $650-$700 million construction project which began in fall 1990 will span a period of over two decades and cover 305 acres. The nearly completed first phase of the project includes a laboratory building, commons, a lecture hall and the $14.6 million William A. Craven Administration Building. The entire cost of Phase I rings in at about $47.5 million. According to Albert Amado, vice president for Physical Planning and Campus Construction, students entering the campus this fall will see and feel the campus's architectural statement immediately. "We will make a major entry statement of quality and outside openness," said Amado. "We shouldn't wait until the last phase to create an atmosphere." Amado said the Mediterranean village design of the architecture came about only after the concept of tfie campus was reviewed. To reduce pedestrian circulation time, buildings throughout all phases of construction will be condensed into an easily accessible formation. Most buildings will have maximum widths of 50 feet and will rise a minimum of four stories, thereby creating the feeling of a condensed Italian village. "In trying to respect the terrain, we get a Mediterranean sense. The campus will resemble a crested Italian hill town," Amado said. He said he wanted the campus to "read as one strong architectural statement." According to Amado, many of the other campuses did not account for future growth at their onset. As a result those campuses contain mixed architectural styles. "We are one of the few universities that are master-planned for full growth," said Amado. To help develop the campus's master architectural plan, Amado worked for a full year with CRSS Inc., an architectural group based in Irvine, to develop concepts and plans. Some of the completed campus's features will be: computing system for the entire campus as well as administrative offices and the library for Phase I. • A six-lane main entry way. Flanked by three rows of trees on each side, the drive will make a major entry statement to the campus. • The Grand Piazza or grand plaza.

During the two-year construction history of the campus, events occurred which led many to wonder if the campus would open by its scheduled time of fall 1992. There were contractors disputes and bouts with droughts. The "March Miracle" came along and almost drowned hopes of opening the university campus on time. Financial problems placed the campus in dire "jeopardy." Amid the construction problems, the university received a state-ofthe-arts telecommunications system for its campus. Building bids came in more than $1 million below projected costs. Here is a look back at CSUSM turbulent construction history as written in Pioneer by Larry Boisjolie. • CSUSM approved: On Sept 1,1989, California Governor George Deukmejian (R) and 38th District Senator William Craven (R) took part in the signing of SB 365 into law. The bill officially named the new California State University campus as CSU, San Marcos. The signing took place at San Diego State University's North County campus, the two-year home of the new university. CSUSM became the twentieth campus in the CSU. reflective of the tone of future projects. He hopes bids for the new campus's other "feature" buildings will be lower as well. The State University Board of trustees approved the bid in November of 1990. • Dispute halts construction: A dispute between Louetto Construction Inc., of Escondido, and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss, of Anaheim, halted construction for more than six weeks in September and October of 1990. Poss officials claimed that Louetto was delinquent in paying them $1.3 million for work already completed at the site. The subcontractor refused to continue work until the debt was paid.

Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said that even minor delays in thefirststage of construction could "set of a major chain reaction" resulting in a possible delay of the fall 1992 scheduled opening of the new campus. Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charged Louetto with failure to pay for work done on jobs in the county. College officials consulted Louetto's bondingfirm,Reliance Surety of Seattle, to settle the dispute. • Ground broken for new of the 305-acre site encountered • Louetto fired from campus: California state senator almost 184,000 cubic yards of construction project: Louetto William Craven, R-Carlsbad, gave granite and debris.

Because the conflict remained unresolved by Oct 31,1990, Reliance informed the university that they could take over the project aftpr Louetto's contract was terminated. CSUSM then fired Louetto, leaving the campus without a builder. On Nov. 9,1990, Reliance announced the selection of Lusardi Construction Co. to resume work on the campus. College officials worried that the delay in construction might postpone the fall 1992 opening of the campus. • Construction resumes amid drought: Even though construction on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building had begun, university officials voiced concerns that drought conditions and budgetary problems might drench all hopes of opening the campus by its scheduled fall 1992 date. Albeit Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, sail all of the time buffer allotted to construction of the campus was eaten up by a dispute between Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W.

Although Lusardi Construction Co. met its first construction deadline in March 1991, the 5-yearold drought facing California presented new obstacles. On March 14,1991, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would have required that residents of San Diego County cut water usage by 50 percent Amado said the campus would seek water from a different water authority if necessary, or it would drill wells on the site to supply water for the construction project Another problem facing the campus was the lack of available funding from the state.

"The ground under Craven Hall was so saturated, we had vehicles getting stuck in the mud," said Albert Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning. "We lost some time there."

The system will allow students to simultaneously interact via television monitors with classrooms as far away as China, Russia and Japan, and as close as the area's community colleges.

According to Stacy, the chancellor's concerns revolved around the construction schedule at CSUSM. In the event that Proposition 153 does not pass, campus construction could be "in jeopardy" and delayed for as much as two years.

CSU San Marcos serves as focal point for 'Heart of the City' Many students attending the other 19 Cal State University campuses haven't heard of die new addition to their academic system. Even some local residents don't know that the cluster of new buildings off Twin Oaks Valley Road is a new university. But for the people who woik for the city of San Marcos, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth. The university has spurred a project entitled, "Heart of the City," an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the new campus.

Malone said that traffic has been a challenge for schools and CSUSM would not be an exception; the new campus will draw 65,000 cars a day.

Malone doesn't see this walkingonly area as a problem for generating business. "People will build whatever you want if they see the potential foot traffic," he said. "Parking in interior," he said. "The buildings are set back to allow for a 50-foot wide walkway. What this plan also allows for is outside seating." "Walk on in," is how Malone described the concept. • Civic, Business Centers accent plans: Two main develop- ments accent the "Heart of the City" project: a University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center — housing the city's government — will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include City Hall, a conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel and a park. The City Hall complex design will gives special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the clock tower at Cal State San Marcos. The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master-planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality use. No drive-thru facilities will be allowed. • Monorail on track: Officials with the North County Transportation District agreed in October, 1992, to match San Marcos' commitment to study a monorail system that will serve the new campus of CSUSM. NCTD board members agreed to spend $5,000 to study alternatives of a light-rail commuter train travelingfromOceanside to Escondido. The dollar figure matches the donation from the city of San Marcos which is pushing for a monorail system. The transit district's current plans include a trolley system similar to the San Diego Trolly. This commuter line would use already in place train tracks crossing the North County area. Malone said the current proposal only needs some additions to the rails to make the commute line operations — such as more crossing signals and electric wires to power the trolly. The monorail system, however, would require a whole new set of elevated tracks. The transit district has shied away from the additional costs of elevating a new track line because of the costs involved. Malone, however, said NCTD will recover its investment. "The university it what makes it feasible this early in time," he said. When fully implements, Malone said 20 percent of theriderswould potentially consist of CSUSM students. "We've always thought ahead of how to control traffic congestion;" Malone said. Mass transit is the way the city decided to handle the traffic generated by the university's presence.

Under the current program, CSUSM has a contract with Islands Apartments that allows students to lease apartments at below-market rates. The contract, which provides 77 rental units for CSUSM students^ will terminate as of June 30, 2001. The decision not to renew its contract with Islands Apartments leaves the university without student housing until the completion of a 400-bed project expected in 2003. Sandra L. Punch, director of Student and Residential Life (SRL) for CSUSM, stated in the. press release that "Not offering the program was a tough decision," she added, "We understand the rental market is very tight, and we will do all we can to help students who need housing find it." Three factors listed by Punch in the decision to end its current contract include: • The number of first-year students attracted to Cal State San Marcos continues to increase significantly each year. As a result, the campus has found it impossible to support a full range of residential life programs and the services necessary for an effective and sustainable program. »Article continues on page 2 Craven Hall built by CRSS to look postmodern, never intended to look tike a prison. (Pride Photo/Victoria Segall) CSUSM Not a Prison PDC to Renovate Campus Look By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor After eighteen years of public service, Congressman Ron Packard retired this past January. Upon request from CSUSM, Packard donated several boxes of congressional papers to the university. When asked why the university requested the congressional papers from Congressman Packard, Carol Bonomo, Associate Vice President for External Affairs, gave two reasons: the national history involved in Congressman Packard's writein victory to Congress and the history of the university. Packard was CSUSM's founding congressman before the new district lines were drawn in 1990. "I hope that these papers will give good insight into the political history of the region," said Bonomo. According to Marion Reid, Dean of Library and Information Services, "CSUSM will be keeping papers unique to Congressman Packard, such as his speeches and letters tracking his actions in Congress." Packard's papers mark the first congressional papers to be donated to CSUSM. Before students are allowed to view the » Article continues on page 3 fact.

While planning the administration and services building, CSUSM lost funding for the original library and had to put a temporary library in the middle of Craven Hall. Once the new library is built, however, they plan to use the open space of the fourth floor for open administration offices, Disabled Student Services and EARS (EOP and ASPIRE). According to Cheryl Le Gras, Senior Director of College Success Services, a "one-stop shop" for students will be located on the third floor. This will include Financial Aid and Enrollment Services. "The cashiers will not be moved into the one-stop shop center," says Le Gras, "but during peak times of the year, which have not been determined, individuals from cashiering will be stationed at the counter in the one-stop shop." The one-stop shop opening target date is Spring 2004. In addition, a one-card sys- tem office may be added. Marti Gray, the Executive Director of the Foundation at CSUSM, is currently coordinating the "needs assessment phase" of the one-card system. Gray pointed out that "the campus has not yet determined whether we will have a 'one-card' or not. If the campus decides that it's beneficial [from a service and a financial standpoint] to have a 'one-card,' students will be asked to participate in the planning of services offered on the card." Proposed under the one-card system, students will only use one-card as a student I.D., printing card, campus debit card, and dormitory housing key. When asked if he would like using a one-card system, student David Ludwig said, "I believe that [it] could be a convenient system if the potential security issues were ignored. It would be convenient to have one card to do everything; however, I would not be comfortable with the access into my life that someone else would gain if they got a hold of my card." Regarding student concern, Marti Gray said, "they [CSUSM] are fully aware of all security issues and any concerns of students and these will be looked into if they decide to plan the one-card system." The Career and Assessment Center, photo I.D., Student and Residential Life, and a satellite office for Counseling and Psychological Services will also be located on the third floor once the Craven Hall Renovation Project is completed. Black History Month Celebrated at CSUSM "It Is Never Too Late To Learn99 By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor February 2001 marks the 75th celebration of Black History Month. CSUSM's Arts & Lectures Series and ASI will be hosting events celebrating this special month.

When he taught the Filipino elementary school children about their history, he realized there was very little black history taught to African-American people in the U.S. "We will teach ourselves about ourselves," said Dr. Woodson, regarding the teaching of black history. Dr. Woodson, born from parents who were former slaves, received his bachelors and masters degree in European History from Chicago University. He went on to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1912, according to CNN's Black Carter Woodson is credited as the History Month Interactive Web founder of Black History Month. Site.

CSUSM Students Reveal Beliefs in National Survey By: Jayne Braman Pride Graduate Intern CSUSM students participated in the inaugural National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The findings from the spring 2000 survey reveal that "CSUSM curriculum is distinguished by an unusually strong emphasis on abstract thinking skills, writing, the use of electronic medium, and fostering interaction among students from diverse backgrounds," according to Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, in her address Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the AllFaculty Meeting and Academic Assembly. The NSSE survey is an extension from an annual inquiry of four-year colleges and universities. The NSSE survey is unique in that respondents estimate the amount of time they, devote to various academic activities during the academic year instead of responding to questions about their level of satisfaction. Last spring's survey focused on entering and exiting students at a diverse group of 276 four-year colleges and universities. Surveys were randomly sent to 350 firsttime freshman and 350 seniors at CSUSM, with responses from 163 freshman and 206 seniors. Students responded to 40 survey items that developed five benchmarks for effective educational practice. The benchmark scores revealed: 1) Level of Academic Challenge, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 80 percent of freshman responded that they were intellectually and creatively challenged by an emphasis on synthesis and analysis and the number of papers required. 2) Enriching Educational Experiences, wherein 85 percent of seniors and 65 percent of freshman responded that they were exposed to peers with diverse ideological Viewpoints and cultural backgrounds and that opportunities in electronic media allowed them to access to real-world experiences. 3) Active and Collaborative Learning, which focused on participatory activities, scored in the 75th percentile with seniors and the 70th percentile with freshman. 4) Student Interactions with Faculty Members, however, scored disproportionately low scores when compared with responses from comparable schools. Only 30 percent of seniors and freshmen responded that they interacted with faculty outside of class. Huber believes that the results reflect an aspect that is "not integral to life on a commuter campus." Students tend to leave campus shortly after classes with approximately 40 percent of students working more than 20 hours per week off campus. 5) Supportive Campus Environment - this benchmark reflects a disparity between freshman and seniors responses with 60 percent of freshman feeling that the faculty and staff are committed to their success while only 25 percent of seniors responded similarly. "CSUSM received disproportionately high scores on three of the five benchmarks identified," commented Huber, "One of the reasons the San Marcos respondents find their course work unusually challenging is the substantial emphasis their courses place on abstract-thinking skills. Both freshman and senior respondents are more likely than those at other master-level campuses to say that their courses place substantial emphasis on analyzing ideas or theories, on synthesizing information and experiences, and on making judgments about the accuracy of arguments and methods." Campus administrators feel that these curricular strengths are reflective of longstanding campus commitments and may lead to a distinguished trademark for the university. �Escondido Humane Shelter Needs Help to Rebuild By: Melanie Addington Pride Editor A f ire destroyed the Escondido Humane Society shelter on January 20, and led to the deaths of one hundred and f ifteen animals.

These students f ind rewards in the form of experience, academic credit, or personal satisfaction. Now, through the new Radin Community Service Scholarship, students who give their time and work can receive a $1,000 cash award. Fresno entrepreneur Marc Radin started the scholarship. According to Lynda Gaynor, Director of the O ffice of Community Service Learning, Radin wanted college students to have the chance to not only to help in the community, but also to test out their career ideas. Therefore, the volunteer work given by students must relate to either their major or future career direction.

I am outraged, Do you know that I went to try to purehasea farmer today? What kind of world has this become when a marquis cannot cheaply acquire someone to fan him as he sleeps? And yet access to an extensive collection of digitized books and journal articles costs less than the price of two pizzas a month? It is making no sense. It is like a horse with two demeres. Q: Dear Question Marquis: I've got a paper due on Didewfs political influence. /figured, wThe Question Marquis is from the French Enlightenment - maybe he could give me some insightSo... any scoop? - Karen in Santa Monica Ask the Question Marquis is a sporadically pmdumd advice column, because proper loving takes time. ft is to be read with a silly, flench accent The views ofthe Question Marquisare his alone and are in no way to be construed as representative of his sponsor, Questia, you American pigs. A; Yes, You am fortunate you asked, Diderot was an idiot. He had the political influence of my poodle's phlegm. Do you know, he had his Ds coming before his Qr in VEncyclopidie before I straightened it out for him? If there were a French Enlightenment, you can be sure that Denis Diderot knew nothing about i t So you are best behooving to pick a new topic. Once you do, go to questia.com to search for an extensive collection of scholarly books and journal articles to reference in your paper. That should make up for some of the time you wasted thinking about Diderot Time that you can use to improve the thoughts you will put into a new paper. So Questia will not only save you beaucoup de time, but it will also help you to write a better paper. And of course, my loyal readers (you feisty roustabouts, you!) will know that Questia also does your footnotes and bibliographies automatically, once you have finished your paper. You can part with a few francs for that, can you not? "Diderot was an idiot He had the political influence of my poodles phlegm!'

I worry / might be losing my mindI Nick in Houston A: It m a shame that losing one's mind must inspire fear, It is really not so bad. I myself lost my mind several decades ago, I highly recommend it, in fact. The day you want to lose it, just put it under your pillow before you go to sleep, and that night, the Mind Fairy will come along and take it, leaving behind anywhere from 50 to 3,00frfrah<5s, defending on the quality of the gray matter.

I n t he last column, we talked about an information-literate person as being someone who h as t he ability to locate, retrieve, analyze and evaluate information. This know-how applies n ot only t o knowing how t o do research in t he library b ut in your everyday life as well. Did you know t hat t he number one means by which people acquire information is by asking someone they know — usually a friend? While t his may be useful for finding a good r estaurant in t he neighborhood or directions to t heir house, one can easily imagine s ituations w here a sking a friend may be inappropriate or e ven u nethical. F urther, t he wrong information or "bad advice" could r uin a friendship. Becoming information literate is a multistage process. First, you need to acquire t he ability t o know when you have an information need, t hat is when a situation in your life r equires information. Second, you need to know where t o look for t hat information. Do I need t o contact a government agency, t alk t o my professor, talk to a counselor, and/or go t o t he library? Third is t he process of retrieval. Today, especially in Cal S tate San Marcos' library, you need a modicum of computer lit- Ut!veJ\U eracy to retrieve information, or you may need strong communication skills. Once you have retrieved your information, be it from a government official or from a computerized database, you are not done. You need to analyze and evaluate t hat information. This can be done by asking yourself these following questions: What is my focus? What do I need t o know? How much information do I need? Do I need specialized information? Is t he author or source qualified? Is t he source biased? Was t he material or information edited, censored or changed in any way? Where was t he information published or who h as made i t available? When was t he information published or how c urrent is it? Do experts agree on t he information? The important thing to remember is to ask questions—ask questions of yourself and of others. Remember t hat t he only stupid question is t he one you do not ask! Becoming information literate can be a long process, b ut acquiring t his abilitv can mean t he difference between staying afloat or drowning in a sea of information. So become a navigator ; be information literate and explore t he world of information.

It was bad enough to see t his man r un television ads during t he primaries spouting his belieft hat Americans need to r eturn to "old-fashioned values" while holding some sort of "book of virtues" in his hand. J ust how "virtuous" a man is he? I found out while looking t hrough my mail last week. Mr. Huffington sent me a very slick, full-color four-page pamphlet with a red heading t hat read, "The Feinstein Family Business. Greed and Special I nterest Politics." "The Feinstein Family Business is a story of greed and special interest politics," it stated. " It shows how career politicians m anipulate t he system t o place t heir interests...ahead of yours." I t was full of some of t he meanest, most h ateful, most cynical attacks on an opposing candidate I have ever seen in politics. This i sn't to deny t hat Dianne Feinstein h as p ut f orth her share of negative campaigning, b ut "Mr. Virtues" Huffington h as used his personal fortune to raise negative campaigning to new heights. About t hree weeks ago, "Saturday Night Live" r an some of i ts own made-up campaign commercials based on some of t he mudslinging going on around t he country. One of those commercials was for Michael Huffington. It showed t he face of Dianne F einstein, a nd t he a nnouncer s tated, "Dianne Feinstein doesn't support prayer in school. Why? Because she's a Jew." After receiving about five mailers from t his man, and seeing his incredibly negative commercials, I can actually believe he would produce such a commercial in reality. But t hat's not all. Back during t he primaries, Huffington also portrayed himself as a family man, yet family seems to mean nothing to him when it comes to politics. In its Oct. 26 edition, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported t hat, "US Senate candidate Michael Huffington, a fter complaining bitterly t hat his wife has been attacked unfairly, is airing scathing new ads accusing Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband of profiting from h er votes for student loans."

After t outing his support for Proposition 187 (which calls for b arring illegal immigrants from public education and health care services), t he Union-Tribune and other media reported H uffington's own "nannygate." "With his US Senate campaign suddenly consumed in controversy, Rep. Michael Huffington yesterday defended his sheltering of an illegal immigrant nanny as an act of love a nd compassion," reported t he Union-Tribune on Oct. 28. According to t he article, "The revelation has proven a major embarrassment to t he Republican candidate, who h as made a crusade recently of cracking down on illegal immigration. His support of Proposition 187 ... has become a key element of his campaign." T he r eport went on to say t hat while Huffington s tated t hat t he buck stopped with him, he placed most of t he blame for t he fowl-up on his wife. Huffington h as made it a point to tell people about how Sen. Dianne Feinstein h as made a career out of politics, despite t he fact she h as held h er senate seat for only two years. Huffington himself has only lived in California for j ust a little longer t han F einstein's t erm of office. T here a re definitely two sides to Michael Huffington, and t hat fact was best summed u p by a comment he made recently on CBS Evening News. He said t hat if he is elected, he will not legislate. He even went so far as to say t hat " that's w hat congress has been d oing f or 2 00 y ears." T hat's r ight. Congress's job is to legislate.

If t hat same See BETTERf page 1 �BETTER, continued from page 6 worker sends his children to our public school or uses free health care, t he burden is carried by t he taxpayer. In t hat sense, t he burden is shifted from t he employer, who pays t he low wage, to t he public taxpayer. To correct t he imbalance of benefits and costs, t he $2 gained by t he employer who hires t he low-wage worker could be taxed to support t he social costs. I t is proposed t hat a surtax be levied upon t he employer for t he difference in pay between the going rate and lower amount paid. Funds from the surtax could then support public education, health and welfare which benefit t he worker. The issue is not politics. It is economic justice. To penalize t he worker was forbidden by law 1,500 years BC, and it should apply today: "Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant t hat is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren or of thy strangers t hat are in thy land within thy gates" (Deuteronomy, 24:14). THOMAS LEE HUNTINGTON Rename Craven Hall Pride file photo While the outside of Craven Hall may appear orderly, many have complained about its maze-like layout inside. HALL, continued from page 2 the name of a Washington state firm on them. Let's look a t t he plans. The second-floor hallway has even-numbered rooms on both sides, with a few stray odd-numbered rooms thrown in. However, I rving F. Davis, P hD the north-south corridor of t he west wing Oct. 26 has all odd-numbered rooms throughout. On t he first floor, all t he obvious rooms have even numbers, with the odd numbers Davis is a professor emeritus of finance assigned to rooms not accessible from t he from Cal State Fresno and serves as pro-tern hall. There seems to be no consistency in adviser for the Cal State San Marcos chap- room numbering. ter of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. One elevator, a t t he north-east corner of Craven, can only be entered from outside t he building. On every floor, one steps off this elevator and walks outside to t he stair landing and t hen back in through doors which lead to t he "east and north wings." On t he fourth, f ifth and sixth floors t he room numbers get smaller as you move down t he hallway going east and west. However, in t he east wing of t he sixth floor all t he room numbers s tart high and gradually get smaller. If we take another look at those plans, we find t hat t he architect or draftsman/ woman must have started numberingrooms from t he southeast corner of t he building. If you s tart each floor by coming in a t t hat entrance — taking t he stairs to each floor because there is no elevator in this part of Craven—there is more of a sense of method r ather t han madness. But you can't get to the first or second floors from here because those floors don't have an east wing. In addition, first-time visitors and new students are not likely to enter through this "back door." Again, you might take a front-entrance elevator to the third floor in hopes of finding t he library on t hat floor since t hat is its location. You step off t he elevator, step out into t he hall, and find t hat t he two large double doors there have signs saying, "Don't Open, Alarm Will Sound." You can't get there from here (or a t least you thought you couldn't until someone p ut a sign up on t he third, smaller door t hat leads out to t he library courtyard). Beverly Stearns, sociology student assistant, says t hat t he plan "makes no sense whatsoever. The ladies' restroom is clear in t he other wing. The office windows don't open, so t here's no access t o cool air and our n atural climate,"- she «aid< fttfiii! prospective;?!!?? andotherspP® for thespfingjli /|emestetf?J|il tnteffiste^tafl u s.a®|4998| The plans show t hat t he "toilets" are only in t he n orth wing for t he sixth, second and first floors. They are located in t he north and east wings for t he f ifth, fourth and third floors. I t's quicker to go to t he bathroom by going downstairs from t he sixth floor of t he east wing to t he f ifth floor east wing toilets, t han to go from t he east wing to t he n orth wing of t he sixth floor. If this all sounds confusing — it is. History major MarkCavender said t hat the first time he had to meet with a professor, h e had to ask t hree or four people for directions. " It's like a maze," he described. "It was something new and confusing and took getting used to. Admissions and Records opens to Founders Plaza, so it seems more like t he f irst floor to me," Cavender said, "though i t's actually on t he f ifth floor." Founders' Plaza is t he locus onto which t he other academic buildings open. Form o ver f unction "It looks like someone designed t he outside attractively, t hen sort of threw in t he rooms," Dr. Therese Baker explained. There is a lack of proper relationship between t he outside of t he building and t he inside, she said. "Actually, t here's a disjuncture between t he frame of t he building and its interior." Everyone has trouble "finding one's way around — finding rooms." The real solution intra-departmentally, Baker said, will be when groups of disciplines can interact and work more closely together a fter more buildings are built in t he f uture. However, t hat won't solve t he problems inherent in Craven's physical layout itself. T he s tudents who have been w ith CSUSM since i ts inception nught have benefited from another orientation with t he opening of this new building. In t he meantime, visitors and newcomers need personal maps. The maps could s tart with "you are here" to show visitors where they entered t he building and include north, south, east, west arrows. The maps could show t he room-numbering plan, t he stairs, all elevators and where t he visitors are on any given floor in relation to other buildings nearby. Renumbering t he rooms might also help, or we could simply resign ourselves to "just getting used to it." > Cal State San Marcos was founded on the principle t hat a respect for cultural and ethnic diversity is an integral and necessary part of a complete college education. This was a somewhat risky chance for the founders of our university to take. Situated in t he middle of an extremely conservative region, CSUSM has always stood out as a kind of intellectual and cultural oasis in provincial, reactionary North County. But the school administration made a difficult choice early on to weave issues of ethnicity and global awareness into the core curriculum of the university, and it has certainly paid off. I, for one, feel t hat my educational experience here a t CSUSM has been immeasurably heightened by the emphasis on cultural diversity. Our campus has become almost a perfect microcosm of the diverse world outside, only this time we get to start over and do it all right. But the outside world can only be shut out for so long. State Senator William Craven, the man whose name graces our administration building, whose likeness illuminates the front entrance of our campus, the man whose tireless political support made the creation of this university possible, has made another in a series of racist, ignorant public statements. This is no offhanded comment or racist joke, though; what Craven has done is no less than advocate the implementation of a pseudo-police state in which Hispanics would be forced to c any ID cards at all times. Craven, whose support was invaluable in the creation of this university, has taken a clear public stance against everything this university stands for. Craven's comments show no respect for humanity, no respect for the constitution of the United States, and certainly not the healthy respect for diversity t hat CSUSM attempts to create in all students. The fact that Craven is attempting to use illegal immigration as a hot-button campaign issue is not in itself surprising; there is not a savvy politician in the state of California who hasn't made grandiose statements playing on people's fears and resentments about immigration. But what Craven has done goes far beyond the realm of mere inflammatoiy political rhetoric. He has stated t hat all Hispanics (or, indeed, anyone who even appears not to have been born in this country) do not have the right to retain the civ3 liberties guaranteed them by the United States constitution. This is racism, pure and simple, and it has nothingtodo with the very real problem of illegal immigration. The Academic Senate recently voted unanimously to advise t he removal of Craven's name from t he administration building. The administration should immediately followsuit. PresidentBill Stacy should make a public statement deploring Craven's statement and promising t hat we will accept no f urther support, political or otherwise, from a man whose principles are anathema to our mission statement. CSUSM has so f ar b een v ery s uccessful a t m aking multiculturalism a living, viable principle; this is no time to s tart treating it as empty rhetoric. Huntington is a Pride staff writer. �It's a Black Thang! By Gregg Simmons Contributing Writer T hat's what t he general public tends to think when it comes to Sickle Cell Anemia. I t is t rue t hat t he predominate carriers are Africans and African Americans, but other ethnic groups are also carriers. Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease which impairs blood circulation and it currently effects50,000-60,000people in t he United States. The debilitating nature of the disease can lead to damage to vital organs such as t he brain, lungs and kidneys or even death. The lack ofknowledge about sickle cell and/or t he misnomer t hat only blacks have sickle cell have prevented many non-blacksfromreceiving t he proper medication to limit t he amount of damage t he disease can cause. Can I Catch S ickle Cell A nemia From S omeone Who Has It? No. Sickle cell disease is inherited. A child has a 25% change of inheriting t he disease if both parents have t he sickle cell t rait. I t is possible t hat a person can inherit t he sickle cell t rait and live a healthy life without ever developing t he disease. Who Are The Primary Carriers of S ickle Cell Anemia? Africans, African Americans, South a nd C entral Americans, Hispanics, Greeks, Sicilians, Turks, East Indians, and Arabians are t he primary carriers Current statistical information states t hat one out of three Africans, one out of 375 African Americans, and one out of 30,000 Hispanics, have t he t rait. Compared to one out of ten African American babies born with t he trait, one out of 180 Hispanics, and one out of 660 Caucasians in t he United States. What Are S ome Of T he Symptoms Of S ickle Cell Anemia? Symptoms of sickle cell anemia include painful joints, jaundice, frequent infections or slow growth patterns. There can be other medical problems but they vary with each person. Is There A Test F or S ickle Cell Anemia or I t's Trait? Yes. A blood test called hemoglobin electrophoresis can now identify people who have either t he t rait or t he disease. Currently in 40 states each newborn is tested for sickle cell anemia (30 states test all babies including California, and ten states test only African American babies). I s T here A Cure F or S ickle Cell Anemia? Although there are many new ideas which may lead to a cure, there is no drug or therapy to correct t he disease. Many of t he symptoms from the disease can be controlled with medication and good preventive health care. Sickle cell anemia is a disease t hat effects not j ust one group of people. I t is a health problem t hat with education and funding can be cured.

Last day for flu vaccines Thursday, November 10 from noon to 4:00 PM is t he last scheduled day for the Flu Vaccine Clinic a t Student Health Services. Who should get t he vaccine? Persons who are a t risk include those with cardiovascular (heart) disease, chronic pulmonary (lung) disease including asthma, chronic metabolic disease (diabetes), people age 60 or older, persons with impaired immune systems, health care workers and anyone having extensive contact with high-risk persons. Because t he vaccine is, a killed virus vaccine (as opposed to attenuated), t he shot CANNOT give you t he flu. There is no charge for enrolled CSUSM students to receive t he flu shot. Students who cannot attend during t he scheduled clinic times may call t he Student Health Center a t 752-4915 for an alternate appointment time. ZING WITH G INSENG-AN ALTERNATIVE TO CAFFEINE By Amy J. Cubbisott Contributing Writer Many people have heard about t he popular Asian herb ginseng b ut, they probably don't know about all of t he magical powers it possesses. There are several different types of ginseng. The most widely distributed and highly acclaimed is Korean cultivated ginseng. There are many inferior types such as Siberian. I t is best to steer clear from these types because they are a waste of time and money. Ginseng is a unique herb which is m ade u p of c ompounds c alled ginsenosides. These ginsenosides act a s hormones and strengthen t he endocrine glands. They a re what give ginseng its unique qualities. Some reasons ginseng is so popular is because of its capabilities to act as a stimulant and a tonic; it can increase mental alertness, reduce stress, regulate blood pressure, act as an antidiabetic, increase sex drive, and help to age gracefully. Overall, ginseng's major strengths lie within its ability t o detoxify and normalize t he body systems. Ginseng aids in harmonizing t he body and all of its functions. Unlike other substances, ginseng is non-toxic and remains in reserve until needed. I t adapts to each persons body and is only utilized in areas where a person is deficient. Ginseng acts as a stimulant and increases energy. As an alternative to caffeine, it will not cause j itters or interfere with a person's normal sleep. The benefits of ginseng a re seen a fter only one dosage b ut serious results don't surface until a fter six m onths'use. Recommended dosages vary but are listed on t he individual packages. I t is available in a array of forms such as drops, raw root, capsules or tea and can be found in most health food stores. I t is not inexpensive so it is best to t ry a sample before purchasing a larger supply. This enables t he buyer to decide if t he product benefits him or her and is worth t he added expense. The benefits of t his miraculous Asian herb a re never ending. As f ar as negative side effects, they are minimal. Ginseng is a safe, n atural substance. In t he Orient, t he old and wisefromcenturies past haye been utilizing ginseng. Maybe t his is t he secret t hat enables many people in t he Orient t o become "old" and "wise." Unplanned Pregnancy?

Co staR ican dancers osta R live it up at Founders' Plaza By Joann Schoenleber Contributing Writer On Wednesday a fternoon, Oct. 19, a young Costa Rican dance g roup called Merecumbe b rought F ounder's Plaza t o life with t heir enticing r hythms and foreign flavor. Merecumbe is a dance which h as a s trong Afro-Caribbean influence, and t he element of seduction is one of i ts most salient characteristics. Sensual movements of t he waist a nd hips a ccentuate t he dance. T he event was sponsored by t he Association ofLatin American S tudents (ALAS). Claudia Vasquez, p resident of ALAS, a rranged t he event. Prof. Lionel Maldonado was acting m aster of ceremonies. When t he d ancers began to p erform, s tudents a nd s taff alike got caught u p in t he tropical r hythms of Merecumbe. T he dancers created a n a tmosphere all t heir own. With t heir expressive movements a nd s triking costumes, t he dancers b rought a bout a flowing m ixture of vivid colors and exotic tropical r hythms. Over 100 s tudents gathered a round t o watch t he dancers p erform. Even s tudents inside Academic Hall looked out ofwindows in search oft he r hythm's source. Although t he a rrangements w ere m ade a t t he last m inute, Vasquez was delighted t o b ring t his exotic dance sensation t o t he CSUSM campus. "This is exactly w hat ALAS is all a bout," said Vasquez, a nd hopes t o sponsor m any more events like Merecumbe. P t is r are t hat a f ilmmaker comes I along who can effect t he very f ab J L ric a nd a esthetic of i nternational cinema. Indeed, t here a re m any t alented directors a nd w riters who c raft exquisite, i mportant films on a r egular basis. But t he t rue g iants of t he film world a re t hose a rtists whose vision goes f ar beyond t he confines of a single film, a rtists whose style a nd t alent allow t hem t o t ake chances lesser d irectors would only d ream of. O rson W elles, I ngemar B ergman, Frederico Fellini, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, M artin Scorcese; t hese a re all a uthors whose style a nd vision have made a n indelible i mprint on our collective cinematic consciousness. I t may b e a b it p remature t o a dd Q uentin T arantino t o t hat list, b ut is t rue t hat T arantino is doing t he most exciting a nd impressive cinematic work of t he 1990's. T arantino's f irst film was Reservoir Dogs, a h eist story a bout a b and of jewel thieves unknowingly i nfiltrated by a n u ndercover cop. T he director played with n arrative s tructure a nd audience sympathies in a n almost l iterary way. And while t he film was very "cinematic'' in i t's approach, i t was t he juxtaposition of t he witty, delightful dialogue w ith t he b rutal, graphic violence t hat gave t he movie i t's charge. T arantino was i nverting a nd paying homage t o t he crime g enre a t t he same time, a nd in t he process h e created a perversely likable film; despite t he fact t hat t he film contained scenes showing t he graphic t orture of a policeman, i t was a very fun move. This may seem irresponsible on t he d irector's p art, b ut i t is n ot. T arantino is challenging t he audience to overcome t heir own experience a nd morality; h e is d aring u s t o enjoy ourselves, a nd h e succeeds. I n Pulp Fiction, T arantino's newest film, t he director goes even f urther in h umanizing t hat which h as traditionally been dehumanized. T he film consists of t hree r elated stories, b rought t ogether by circumstance a nd chance. I n t his sense, t he s tructure of t he film is very similar t o t he work of Robert Altman, p articularly last y ear's b rilliant Short Cuts. B ut while Altman deals with c haracters on t he f ringes of m ainstream society, T arantino dives h eadfirst i nto a n underworld filled with morally r epugnant people. He does n ot ?4t t&e By Thomas Lee Huntington a sk u s t o have sympathy f or t hese characters or t o excuse t heir actions; h e merely t reats t hem a s r egular, flawed h uman beings a nd c rafts h is intricately plotted stories a round t hem. This may b e inexcusable t o some who see T arantino's r efusal t o moralize a s a lack of social conscience. Certainly, t here a re scenes of intensely graphic violence i n Pulp Fiction t hat a re t reated a s h umor, as we a re asked t o laugh a t (among o ther scenes) t he accidental m urder of young m an when a gun goes off in a c ar. B ut we do laugh. And i t is t he f act t hat T arantino can show t he black h umor of a b rutal s ituation w ithout forcing t he audience t o abdicate any sense of morality t hat m akes h is work so b rilliant. Like Sam Peckinpah or M artin Scorcese, T arantino is a m aster a t p ortraying violence a s a kind of cinematic poetry, b ut t hat does n ot necessarily a mount t o glorification. T here is certainly a morality t hat guides t he actions of t he c haracters in h is films, a nd t hose who defy t hat morality a re p unished or forced t o redeem themselves. T he lessons a re n ot h anded t o u s; we m ust look p ast t he sheer visual power of t he violent images i nto t he deeper philosophical context of t he film t o see w hat T arantino is doing. But t hat is a r ewarding j ourney. P utting aside t he intellectual issues accompanying t he p ortrayal of violence in film, Pulp Fiction is a b rilliant cinematic achievement. I t is a visceral and cerebral p leasure f rom beginning t o end, t hanks in large p art t o t he inventive n arrative structure, t he s tartling acting a nd t he r emarkable dialogue. J ohn T ravolta a nd Samuel J ackson p articularly s tand out in a g reat cast. I t is n ot a film everyone will appreciate, b ut i t is a film t hat anyone i nterested in t ruly inventive a nd original cinema should see.

Those who support Craven have credited his legislative work with g etting Cal S tate San Marcos started. The student council was not in total agreement when it came to supporting Craven, however. "He did a lot for this campus here. I'm not denying t hat," explained Bertha Walker, undergraduate representative. "But he has to be held accountable for what he says. We can't make t he (CSU) trustees change t he name of t he building, b ut we can stand for something. This group has to stand u p for what's right. If it pisses off a few of our friends, then t hat's t he way it has t o be." Others attending t he meeting s aid t hat C raven's w ork t o j umpstart t he campus was not out of t he ordinary. "What a re his contributions other t han bringing t he bill to t he (California) senate?" asked audience member Elena. "He was elected to do j ust t hat anyway, so what are his great contributions?" " He's o ffended m e a s a C hicana," a dded S tephanie Gonzalez, another member of t he audience whose parents are p art of CSUSM's faculty and staff. "No matter how much he tries to revise what he says, h e said what he said...Craven did not create t he educational system." Despite a rguments a gainst Craven's reported comments, t he Associated Students chose not to support t he Academic Senate, while approving 5-2 a t t he same meeting to support t he possibility of renaming t he Academic Hall to Cesar E. Chavez Hall in memory of the late farm workers' union leader. Students and faculty have used several outlets to let their feelings be known about t he Craven controversy since t he senator's comments were published. J ust prior t o t he Academic Senate's meeting Oct. 26, approximately 150 students, faculty and staff led by CSUSM's MEChA Latino organization organized a rally to oppose Craven's remarks, racism and Prop. 187. Students from Palomar and Mira Costa colleges also joined t he rally. "His remarks are dramatically opposed to t he goals of t he mission statement to build a supportive environment for students ofcolor," said MEChA VP Gerardo Madera. On Oct. 21, a group of CSUSM students, faculty and community members marched i n f ront of t he senator's Carlsbad office in protest of his s tatements and to oppose his upcoming reelection. Tutoring to winHow many times haveyou had a test or a paper rushing down t he proverbial pike toward you at break-neck speed? That test is in two days and YOU NEED HELP! This situation calls for a TUTOR! Knowing t hat time is scarce, you apprehensively approach t he doors to t he program t hat provides tutoring and request a tutor. If you are very lucky, you will get "crash tutoring" t he day before t he test; worst case, no tutoring a t all. T he A.S.P.I.R.E.

The goal is to provide tutoring to t he students in t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program throughout t he entirely of each semester. "Rather t han waiting until t he last minute when stress levels are a t boiling point to utilize t utoring, a s tudent will have worked t he entire semester with a t utor for a particular course, heading off'crunch times' before t hat stress sets in," says Heidi Fisher, Learning Specialist and t utor for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. program. This new approach t o tutoring has i ts demands, however, and quality t utors are key. "Our program has a rigorous t utor interview process, t raining program and evaluation process as a result of t his model of operation. Heidi explains, "We look for students on campus who excel in their field and are recommended by faculty within t hat field." "As a t utor, my grades improved because I was able to think more critically about my own approach t o studying," says Heidi. Each t utor is closely supervised by an A.S.P.I.R.E. Learning Specialist. Any issues or concerns t hat arise during a tutoring session will be addressed and rectified by t he student, t he t utor and a Learning Specialist. The support within t he program is further grounded by t he Director, Calvin One Deer Gavin, who offers hands-on insight and problem-solving skills t hroughout every aspect of t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program. "The support ofothers in t he program is key to t he success of this tutoring model. Ongoing training on personal interaction a nd p edagogical a pproaches is also necessary," Heidi explains. If you a re interested in tutoring for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program on campus, please call Heidi Fisher a t 752-4014 or stop by t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program Center at CRA1258. A.S.
