Jazz explained foryou Cal State San Marcos suffersfirst serious crime By Roman S . Koenig Editor-in-Chief SORSf iPOEMBlllilIf It is the end of an era at Cal State San Marcos. After nearly seven years in existence, the university has experienced itsfirstserious on-campus crime, an assault and robbery of a female student on the evening of Oct 30 in the upper faculty parking lot While the event is a tragedy in itself for a university with the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, the real tragedy might be that the student did not use one of the nearby emergency phones placed in the parking lot "The calls that I've gotten from faculty and students that get my attention are (the ones) that say they didn't know what the emergency phones w eresaid Public Affairs Director Norma Yuskos. The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous, opted not to use the emergency phone and did not report the crime until four hours after the assault, according to Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director for Public Safety. "If she would have (used the phone) we had an officer in the next parking lot below (who) would have been there in a minute," Smith said. Yuskos added that campus officials want to quell rumors that the student had been sexually assaulted. This is not she case, she said. For Smith, the focus now shifts to preventing such crimes in the future. Public Safety has handed out flyers to evening students and staff asking for any information about the Oct 30 assault, she explained. Public Safety also wants to get the word out about safety seminars and programs available to students.

The Oaxacan secretary of tourism visited the campus for the exhibit's opening reception on Nov. 3. The Oaxacan altar/which is no longer on display, included fresh foods and flowers as well as pictures of the deceased including recently deceased Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia and Eric Prado, a CSUSM library assistant who died Oct. 13. Traditional masks and artwork were created by North County residents Victor Hugo and Torres Morales as part of the altar display also. "The Oaxacan Day of the Dead has particularly beautiful deeply rooted tradition," said Arts & Lectures director Bonnie Biggs. "They sent artisans to build the traditional altar." Also included in the exhibit are traditional Oaxacan art objects and two models representing a marketplace in Tlacoluna and the region between Monte Alban and Mitla, an area of major archeological importance. The picture exhibit, created by Tonny Zwollo, was sponsored by Groupo Genesis, Cal State San Marcos Arts & Lectures, the Latino Association of Faculty and Staff at CSUSM, SER/Jobs for Progress and the Oaxaca Secretary of Tourism. The Nov. 3 reception also marked the opening of "100 Portraits," a photo exhibit honoring the accomplishments of San Diego Latinos. "Once upon a Paradise" will be on display until Nov. 29.

Bashein, assistant professor in the College of Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, has been awarded a prestigious grant from the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF). Bashein's project, "Meeting the Controls Challenges of New MormationTechnologies," will analyze how corporations maximize the benefits of new information technologies without increasing the control risks. Her in-depth case studies of six major corporations will address several key qiiestions: How does the use of new information technologies change the nature of internal control? What are the best internal control practices? What are the most successful implementation strategies? Assisting Bashein on the project will be Jane B. Finley of Belmont University and M.

One student who wished to remain anonymous said that she found more offense in the letter of complaint than in the spirited markings. "I was much more offended by the quote in the editorial complaint letter than the chalk in the parking lot," she said. sccsc Southern California Collegiate Ski Conference Interested in snow ski and/or snowboard racing?

The Pride editorial staff has no problem with a campus group wanting to express pride in itself, but chalking the group's letters all over the parking lots like an animal that marks its territory is unacceptable.

There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about huge pink and green letters plastered on the pavement for all to see, welcoming students and visitors to this campus. In order to be recognized, student organizations must endeavor to make a name for themselves, not force that name on others where one has no choice but to see i t CSUSM officials should not have allowed Tau Kappa Epsilon to chalk its name on the pavement The Pride editorial staff asks campus officials to rethink the policy. This young university has a reputation and image to uphold, a reputation now recently tainted by its first serious assault crime. Graffiti-like slogans drawn on pavement do not help, either. Freedom of speech is not of issue here. The choice of how that speech is made is what is important. The Pride believes TKE President Robert Brack when he stated in his letter to the editor Nov. 1 that his organization did not mean to offend anyone. Indeed, spirit and confidence are nothing to take offense a t The ways in which that spirit and confidence are shown is another matter. TKE made a bad judgement call by deciding to chalk the campus parking lots. CSUSM officials made a bad judgement call by having a policy allowing student groups to do such a thing in thefirstplace.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Jill Ballard, TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor Until very recently, most mainstream American voters thoughtthey had a candidate to fit their overall criteria: someone who was fiscally conservative, socially moderate, a leader who displayed maturity and was above the partisan bickering that is so commonplace in Washington D.C. Joe Six-Pack thought he had his man with Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staffwho worked under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and, for a short while, Bill Clinton. Powell would have offered plenty to a Republican ticket, especially by what he lacked: the age and political career of Bob Dole, the pessimism of Pat Buchanan and the brashnessofBob Dornan. So what happened to "Powell for President," the candidacy that never was, and whatdoesthismeanforthe 1996presidential elections? It had seemed obvious to so many of us that Colin Powell would run for president, and very likely be elected next year. His memoirs have been selling like hotcakes and his book signing tour has been a success. There is the argument that fringe Republicans drove Powellfromrunning as a Republican. Staunch conservatives were afraid that he might squelch the Republican revolution which started last November when, for thefirsttime in 40 years, the GOP won both branches of Congress. James CarviHe, who ran Clinton's successful campaign in 1992, saidflatiythata(T)his completes the take-over of the Republican Party by the 'radical r ight'" With this statement, Carville ignores three major points. First of all, Powell himself is a Republican (he identified himself as such at his press conference).

GET THE VOTE OUT YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE �World-class jazz musicians perform at GSUSM By JHI Ballard Entertainment Editor The jazzduo of Holly Hoffman, flute, and Mike Wofford, piano, played Nov. 7 in ACD-102 at Cal State San Marcos. It was thefifthpresentation of the CSUSM fall Arts and Lectures Series. Both musicians are Concord recording artists. They started the show off with a blues piece. Not only did they perfom jazz, but they also talked to the audience in between songs explaining the origins of jazz and the problems the general public has listening to the music genre. Wofford played the James Brown number "I Feel Good" to illustrate the use of blues in early rock 'n roll. Hoffman explained that a way jazz originated was by, "embellishment of the melodies. Very simple melodies can be used and then you can take it through a bunch of tempo changes, (like) grooves changes, the drummer could say do something different to add a different beat to i t So really embellishment of t he melody is one of the ways that early jazz started in addition to the blues which actually came out of slavery and before." Hoffman played "Amazing Grace" as an example of embel- David Taylor/Staff Photos Holly Hoffman, above playing the flute, and Mike Wofford, on piano below, performed and explained jazz music to an audience of students, faculty and staff Nov. 7. lishing the melodies. "That's really a big part of jazz also, i fs taking a melody and working from i t I fs filling in the bars in between and changing the tempos." Wofford explained why the once-popular jazz became unpopular. "The improvising is based on the chordal changes and the harmonic structure and that starts getting a little more complicated and I think that's when jazz left the general public to a large extent," Hoffman said, adding that jazz was once considered revolu- tionary just as was rock 'n roll and current alternative music. Hoffman and Wofford also played "Sweet Georgia Brown," the theme song of the Harlem Globe Trotters, to illustrate how jazzevolved in the 1930s. Wofford played some stride piano in that number to illustrate how ragtime evolved into jazz music. He also played another stride piano piece to show how jazz is more adventurous than pop music, but "as soon as the music becomes more adventurous you begin to shrink your listening audience." They also discussed jazz solos because, as brought up by a student in Gunner Biggs's Music 427 class, some people reject jazz because it sounds too "self indulgent" 'We're trying to show you instead of this all sounding like a bunch of notes when we solo, we're trying to show you that there is a format that we use so that there is a melody underneath all that, there is a groove underneath all that," Hoffman explained. "So there are some elements here that you can relate to as a listener." The theme song to the Flintstones was then played to further illustrate improvisation over the melody. Jazz audience etiquette was also brought up. Hoffman feels that applause after solos is well deserved because "we're playing See JAZZ, page 8 �Album review New Eric Mathews album monotonous By Jdl Ballard Entertainment Editor Plus tax they're usually just so ambiguous that I find them inaccessible.

She has 24 years of law enforcement experience with such police departments as Ingelwood and Rialto, Smith added. "From a positive aspect, to me it's a learning experience," she continued. "Hopefully, this won't happen again, and we are a community. We have to police our own community, and that means staff, faculty and students." Public Safety offers escort services for students and Smith is in the process of developing a whistle program, where students can purchase whistles and use them if they are in trouble. "This campus at this particular time is small enough to where people would still hear (the whistle)," she said. Emergency phones are located in all parking lots on campus, and can be found by looking for the blue siren light on top each phone location. Even if the phone is off the hook, a Public Safety officer will check the situation out, Smith said. Information about seminars and other Public Safety programs can be obtained by calling their dispatch line, 750-3111. Even with the recent assault, Cal State San Marcos still has the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, Smith concluded. "It's still the case now and we intend to keep it that way," she said. Powell Continued from page 4 being a Democrat in disguise. Some of these Republicans, if elected, would make very good presidents. But on the whole, theylackwhatColinPowellwould have brought to the party and to America: unity. While I am conservative, a more liberalfriendof mine and I agreed we could both support a ticket with Colin Powell and, say, Jack Kemp. While Kemp is conservative on most issues, he has taken heat from fellow Republicans for opposing last year's Proposition 187, and supporting Affirmative Action. Given this, the potential of him being on a national Republican ticket is very slight Still, it would have been nice. It is very likely that Powell cut a deal with one or more Republicans to bow out. While he may still be a candidate for vice president, or even secretary of state, his aura has already been diminished. One thing is certain: many unsold copies of "My American Journey" will now be collecting dust at Barnes & Noble.

Punch said that the center had received a lot of calls ,about the fair this year and expected that a lot more of the public attended this year. She added that the public attendance doesn’t interfere with student opportuni­ ties. “It enhances, because stu­ dents are well prepared,” said Punch. Students have been prepar­ ing for job hunts at the Career and Assessment Center by build­ ing resumes, attending work­ shops and meeting with career counselors. “I talked to a counselor at one of the workshops. They prepared me pretty well,” said sociology major Erik Shepard. Shepard said he was determined to meet with the Salvation Army to do an internship, but said that his friend, also a sociology major, had found a lot of potential job opportunities. “But not me, because my goal is pretty specif­ ic,” said Shepard, who later found the Salvation Army booth.

For the category “After the fair,” suggestions included: make notes and follow up with thankyou letters. For those who missed the job fair, a daytime fair, on campus, will be held in the spring to “meet the needs of both popula­ tions — daytime and evening,” said Punch.

The program, almost a decade in the making, came at the request of interested stu­ dents and was made possible by a collective group of more than a dozen professors. The pro­ gram offers students the choice of more than 80 courses drawn from nine disciplines. Students must complete 21 units of cred­ it to obtain the minor. Initially, it was conceived as a major rather than as a minor, and slated to be part of the curriculum sometime around 2005. When the ethnic studies major came up for approval over two years ago, Richard Karas, vice president of Academic Affairs at the time, removed the program from consideration under pres­ sure from CSU headquarters in Long Beach, which argued that there were enough of such . programs already in existence within the CSU system and that one at CSUSM was unwar­ ranted. CSUSM literature and writing professor Susie Cassel and former liberal studies pro­ fessor Lionel Maldonado took action, assembling interested professors to form a proposal group to restructure the major program into a minor —utiliz­ ing courses already found with­ in the curriculum. Although the group consisted of almost 15 professors, sociology pro­ fessors Sharon Elise and Garry Rolison, liberal studies pro­ fessors Bob Yamashita and Anibal Yanez-Chavez, along with Cassel, formed the coali­ tion that would present their proposal to the Academic Senate. At the Academic Senate’s final meeting of the school year in May 2000, the group was given one minute to pres­ ent its case for the program. The senate passed the pro­ gram- but did not support funding. Fortunately, Cassel says, Interim Dean Miriam Schustack “courageously decid­ ed that the ethnic studies degree was central enough to the uni­ versity’s mission and the col­ lege’s academic vision, that she promised to fund it for this year.” Still, the funding issue will have to be addressed each year and Cassel admits that, » Article cont. on pg. 2 �Student Researches a Future Possibility for Protection Against Terrorism By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Terrorism has created a new reality in America, and Americans are now searching for answers not only to what could have been done, but what can be done now, especially in the search to find any terrorists living in America. One CSUSM student, Latha Kannan, is par­ ticipating in the search by researching a new scientific tech­ nique called brain fingerprint­ ing, which may aid the govern­ ment in bringing not only ter­ rorists, but any suspected crimi­ nals, to justice. Kannan, a third-year liberal studies major, is researching the brain fingerprinting technique for a project in her Technical Writing course (LTWR 317), where students not only learn the basics of technical writing, but also practice their technical skills by engaging in a semesterlong project. Each student must create a project, whether it is a handbook, manual, or business proposal. Each project must be sufficiently technical in nature, and may cover any topic the stu­ dents choose. Kannan proposed a project that will identify terror­ ists using the brain fingerprint­ ing technique. 2. Fingerprints and DNA are Brain fingerprinting, invent­ ed by Dr. Lawrence A.

Prompt Payment Revision Effective Spring Term 2002 There will be one payment deadline date three weeks prior to the start of the term (for Spring 2002, this date would be Jan. 10). At this date, all payment is due from any student who has reserved classes. Thereafter, all students must pay at the time of registration. Disenrollment will occur on a daily basis. Important points to remember: There is no interference with pre-registration. It can con­ tinue and payment is deferred to a later date (the one deadline date). After the deadline, disenrollment for non-payment will occur on a daily basis allowing for the university to know exactly the true enrollment count. Financial Aid still controls the deferral process for aid recipients and so students with a deferral code would continue to be exempt from disenrollment and allowed to reserve classes. This scenario also applies to students, s u c h as veterans, with waiver deferrals. The time limits for the daily disenrollment will be as follows: Any student, who registers up to 8 p m. of a campus business day, must make payment by 8 a.m. of the next campus business day. * Campus business days are defined as Monday through Friday, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays. Any regis­ tration occurring after the established cut-off (8 p.m.) on a campus business day will be treated as if received on the following campus business day. Disenrollment for non-payment will occur on each business day at 9 a.m. (allowing for processing of drop box payments received by 8 a.m.). Methods of payment are as follows: * * Cashiers hours will remain at this time as 9 a.ni. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The first two weeks of the term, Cashiers will extend the closing hour to 5 p.m. Drop Box Smart Web Smart Phone Emergency loans are available to qualified students beginning 10 days prior to the term (check will be available for pickup with a two-day turn around). New Shopping Center Opens across from Campus By JUSTIN ANDREWS and MIA ALIO Pride Staff Writers Finally, a light a the end of the Twin Oaks Valley Road con­ struction tunnel shines bright, as the new Ralph’s Shopping Center will provide CSUSM students with something to do between classes. But for some people, the new center causes concern. Halloween morning marked the grand opening of Ralph’s supermarket, readily equipped with a deli, pharmacy, photo development lab, and a variety of lunch possibilities to supplement campus dining. Ralph’s was the first busi­ ness in the new center to open its doors. Soon to follow are Blockbuster Video, Starbucks Coffee, Discovery Isle Day Care, Longs Drugs, Scripps Credit Union Bank, a Chinese food res­ taurant, and possibly a pizza sports bar. “We’re excited about being here, we hope to serve a niche with our location being centrally located among [CSUSM] and the suburban neighborhood,” said Ralph’s oper­ ating manager, John Hammel. “We have a few San Marcos and Palomar students employed at this store,” he added. Hammel said that Ralph’s intends to contribute to the com­ munity by sponsoring events and fundraisers for the local ele­ mentary schools and CSUSM. Campus clubs, organizations, and departments may set up conve­ nience accounts with Ralph’s, that would be billed straight to the organization’s budget. Ralph’s is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, under a restricted liquor license which Hammel said, “is typical to have when immersed in a neighbor­ hood, and this close to a college. It only means, that we stop sell­ ing alcohol at midnight and don’t sell single containers under 20 oz.” A Ralph’s employee also mentioned that some faculty had expressed concerns about the availability of liquor so close to campus. Concern has also been expressed about the possibility of Discovery Isle Day Care Center taking business away from the ASI Early Learning Center (ELC), a childcare facil­ ity for the CSUSM community. Joyce Williams, Director of the Early Learning Center, Was unavailable for comment. Others are concerned about Starbucks Coffee opening so close to the Power Surge Cafe. “I think it will definitely take away from the early morning coffee rush, even though we pro­ vide bagels and pastries. Also, Ralph s opened in the new shopping center across the streetfrom campus. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) it sucks that Starbucks is con­ stantly trying to run out small businesses,” said Jenny Ikoma, an employee of Powersurge. No one from the new Starbucks was available for com­ ment. However, Mark Du Bois, Power Surge Cafe owner and a CSUSM alumnus, reacted pos­ itively, and said he is eager to see how much business will World War II Veteran to Give Lecture » By KEVIN HAWK Pride Staff Writer Daniel Ashe, who served in the infantry in Europe during World War II, will give a lecture titled, “What I Found in Europe in the Wake of World War II,” on campus Thursday, Nov. 8. Sponsored by the Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society and the University Global Affairs Committee, Ashe’s lecture will cover the 20 years preceding the defeat of Germany in 1945, and he will also discuss his experi­ ence living in Europe through 1962. He also plans to touch on the political, social, and eco­ nomic realities that evolved in Europe over time. Ashe, a San Diego resident, lectures frequently at UCSD; however, this will be his first lec­ ture at CSUSM. U am looking I forward to my visit at CSUSM,” said Ashe. Ashe accepted an invitation to speak on campus from Alyssa Sepinwall, a history professor at CSUSM. The lecture will be held in University Hall 101, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and will be free and open to the public, all CSUSM students and faculty. . increase with added consumer traffic drawn by the center. “ “I’m not too concerned about losing any customers to Starbucks,” said Du Bois. “Cal State students appreciate all we have to offer with local music, open mike night, better coffee, a deli, a conference room for students to work on group proj­ ects ~ and did I mention better coffee?” Stul f1 »Article cont. from pg. 1 as such, the program is threatened.” In the short time since the program began, it has generated much interest on cam­ pus. Since its inaugural event, the Angela Davis lecture, “three more professors have asked for their classes to be included,” Cassel noted, adding that, “the list of available courses for the minor is alfeady obsolete due to increased participation.” Courses in communication, world languages, Hispanic stud­ ies, history, human develop­ ment, liberal studies, literature and writing, psychology, soci­ ology, and visual and perform­ ing arts comprise the disciplines represented within the minor. Cassel said she feels that the program, with its focus on inclusiveness and cultural diversity, reflects CSUSM’s mis­ sion statement and the majorityminority population on cam­ pus. �Pum jackedonC pus pkins am By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor Two pumpkin-carving con­ tests were held on campus on Halloween. The ASI Pro­ gramming Committee held a Pumpkin-Carving Contest on Founders’ Plaza at noon. It was open to all students, and specifi­ cally targeted student clubs and organizations. On the other side of campus, a second contest was held. The American Language and Cul­ ture Institute (ALCI) sponsored their second annual contest for its students from noon to 1 p.m. on Palm Court. “She was a little ghetto fabulous, but we had so much f un putting her together —Honee Folk, referring to herfirst-place pumpkin Seven chibs participated in the ASI contest.

The audience rose and burst into applause as celebrated author, Toni Morrison, made her way towards the stage of the Amphitheatre de la Verriere in Aix-en-Provence Oct. 18. That Thursday evening marked the opening events of the four-day Fete du Livre, dedicated to Morrison, at Aix’s central library and cultural center, the Cite du Livre, The events of this “Book Festival” included round table discussions, book signings, read­ ings, and the screenings of four American films chosen by Morrison, depicting the AfricanAmerican struggle. “I am going to be very pleased and curious these next few days,” said Morrison as the events began. “Unspeakable histories (Une histoire interdite),” was the topic of the first roundtable dis­ cussion, as well as the theme that made its way into all of the discussions of the “festival.” According to Helene Christol, author and professor of North American Studies at the Author Toni Morrison, (picturedfourth from the left), spoke in France's Amphitheatre de la Verriere in Aix-en-Provence. Laura Hopkins, a CSUSM student studying in the CSU Internation Program in France, recounts the lecture. (Courtesy Photo/Laura Hopkins) University of Provence, Morrison is the author who “touches on black holes in history with a capital H.” Christol described Morrison as the author who, with courage and grace, allows the “unspeak­ able” to come to life and be claimed. The unspeakable was illustrated in Morrison’s novel, Beloved, when the ghost rep­ resenting the Middle Passage arrived in a small, AfricanAmerican town in Ohio. During the round table discussions, Morrison described the process of “narrowing the space” in which an event becomes more real as it pro­ gresses, in the case of “unspeak­ able” African-American history, “from slave mother to your moth­ er.” “There was always a ‘refusal to talk about it,”’ said Morrison about her family; she said that her writings allow for the recovery of this lost history. She added that, for her, the difficulty in express­ ing this void was resolved when she “realized all she had to do was say it, [she] didn’t have to live it.” Morrison, who described herself as a “provoca­ teur,” has been “saying it” now for more than 20 years, and the questions she raises allow us to hear and listen to a story that must be told. Her lyrical voice, according to director, actor, and author Peter Sellers, gives us “a song where the melody is stronger that the words” and a song in which “Toni Morrison has taken the melody and allowed it to sing again.” �T raining Day: A Different Type of War By KEVIN FRISK For The Pride During a time when our nation is engrossed in a war abroad, a different type of war is being fought here at home that has nothing to do with anthrax or chemical terrorism. This is a daily battle fought by law offi­ cers across the country, for our streets and neighborhoods. Our inner-city streets have become battlegrounds for both criminals and the criminal jus­ tice system. In the past, officers of the law have been given a wide range of executive powers and authority to use whatever force they deem necessary to capture criminals and prohibit criminal activity. With power comes the abuse of power, and in the case of the law enforcement agency, this abuse can be just as violent and criminal as the acts they are sup­ posedly trying to prevent. Antoine Fuqua’s (director of ‘‘The Replacement Killers”) new movie, “Training Day,” starring Denzel Washington (“Remember the Titans”) and Ethan Hawke (“G.A.T.T.A.C.A.”) is a movie loosely based on the recent Ram­ part police corruption scandal in the Los Angeles police depart­ ment. The movie centers on a vet­ eran of the LAPD, Alonzo Harris (Washington), who runs an anti­ gang unit on the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. As the Title suggests, “Training Day” is just that: a 24-hour peri­ od where rookie cop Jake Hoyt (Hawke) has one day to prove to Harris that he is tough enough and has enough knowledge of the streets to join the anti-gang unit. Screenwriter David Ayer pro­ phetically scripted this action/ drama years before a Los Angeles gang-busting unit was caught par- Denzel Washington stars in the action/drama film, f< Training Day. ” (Courtesy PhotoflMDB.COM) ticipating in illegal drug traf­ ficking, evidence planting, and excessive brutality, not unlike the behavior of the people they were supposed to arrest and incarcer­ ate. In his first role as a villain­ ous and morally deviant char­ acter, Washington does an out­ standing job of portraying the rough life that surrounded screen­ writer David Ayer as he grew up in Inglewood and South Central LA. As the officers patrol the streets undercover, Hoyt witness­ es Harris break, rule after rule to accomplish some unknown goal, a goal that Harris claims to be the ultimate success for an effective street cop. The lines of ethics are blurred as Harris uses extremely ques­ tionable tactics to get what he wants from the streets. Instantly opposed to his violent and unorth­ odox techniques, Hoyt is, from the start, at odds with Harris’s practices. However, it is Harris’s charisma and persuasive connec­ tion with the streets that has even Hoyt, the “by-the-book” officer, questioning his beliefs in who and what makes a criminal* While the film is violent, the movie relies strongly on charac­ ter development rather than fancy Hollywood computer graphics to relay its message, and that is why the excessive violence seems merely natural and necessary. Even though the violence may seem gratuitous to the audience at times, it forces the viewer to define their own beliefs and opinions; it forces them to choose between their own sense of right and wrong. Fuqua and Ayer show the audience a world where the moral lines have blurred and only a gray mix of right and wrong remains. They want viewers to ask them­ selves if it is more important to have effective laws, or laws effec­ tively enforced, and “Training Day” accomplishes just that. “Training Day” is rated R by the MPAA for brutal violence, pervasive language, drug content and brief nudity and has a run­ time of 120 minutes. Janes Addiction Inspires Erotic Imagination in San Diego By JAMES NEWELL Pride Staff Writer “We saw the shadowis of the morning light, the shadows of the evening sun, till the shad­ ows and the light were one...” beamed Perry Farrell, as Jane’s Addiction lit up Coors Ampitheatre, bringing Halloween to San Diego three days early. Although Jane’s Addiction didn’t open with Three Days, the song always seems to mark a spiritually erotic part of the show. This time was no excep­ tion and exhibited mostly naked dancers spinning upside down on a circular trapeze. Jane’s Addiction is not a rock band and they are not an alterna­ tive band; they are in a category solely occupied by Jane’s Addic­ tion. They take a variety of musi­ cal backgrounds, such as punk and tribal rhythms, and create a fascinating ephemeral dream, especially when they perform. The music is original and each show is an extremely differ­ ent production, but they always have an erotic theme, not erotic as in sexual activity, but erotic in how they stimulate emotion, bringing out the imaginative qualities of the mind, body and Spirit. The erotic behavior began with the opening song and con­ tinually advanced as their per­ formance was illuminated by the setting of the moon dipping below the rim of the bandshell. The circus-like performance began with Ketel Whistle. As Farrell echoed “such a beautiful girl,” his parachute-like costume, which flowed out from a Vic­ torian style girdle and covered most of the stage, gave birth, first to an elegantly placed stiletto heel, then gradually revealed a sensuous fish net stocking cov­ ered leg. As the song continued the one erotic maiden evolved into three women and a man, who all came forth from the dress to dance and then returned back under the flowing parachute as the song faded into the sound of the night. “It’s one of those shows where some people know the songs, but they just don’t know,” said Halsey D. Corbin, a film­ maker from North Park, San Diego, elaborating on the imag­ inative qualities of the perfor­ mance. “It was a very erotic show, everything a concert should be. They definitely know their stuff” said Chris “Blizzard” Layua, a first time attendee from South County. One interestingly different quality to this show was the fact that Farrell, who normally ends up butt naked, actually added clothing throughout the perfor­ mance. From his living dress to a pirate suit to a wide-brimmed purple hat and sparkly suit, Far­ rell waded through many faces of the Jane’s Addiction Hallow­ een dream. With the exception of the bassist, all the original band members are on this year’s tour. The majesty of the band is exemplified by the fact that all the members have other projects going. Dave Navarro, the guitar player, is fresh off a tour with his self-titled solo band. Steve Per­ kins, the drummer, has a side project band, Banyan. Then there is Farrell, who occupies his time with many facets of political activism, along with creating Lalapalooza in the early 1990s, and touring with his other successful band, Pornos for Pyros. But, he was also heavily involved with this year’s Coachella Music and Arts Festi­ val. “Here’s to courage, here’s to music, here’s to tuberiding, here’s to you...” raged Farrell as the band stepped to the front of the stage, after an intense session of tribal drumming and vocal exploration, and bid everyone farewell.

M t r a t , tm ci ins i ALMOST ALWAYS c o m p e l l in g” . mmwm �The Boo & Mee Cafe You Don’ Have to Go out t Is a Delight to Eat Good Mexican Food By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor By KEVIN FRISK Pride Staff Writer Just a mile-and-a-half from campus, on San Marcos Bou­ levard, sits a delightfully inex­ pensive Japanese food restaurant called the Boo & Mee Cafe. One of the best kept secrets of the San Marcos eatery scene, this restaurant offers a wide variety of delectable traditional dishes, as well as items more suited for the typical American palate. And while the taste is excep­ tional, the price offers a better incentive for those who watit to sample the cuisine. The average meal ranges between $3.25 and $6.25, tax included. The Boo & Mee Cafe is owned and operated by an older Japanese woman, who many affectionately refer to as “Obachan,” (grandmother in Jap­ anese.) She and her daughter serve as the chefs, waitresses, and busboys. Despite the sometimes-long wait, regular customers keep on coming back for more. The reason for this, explained Hideki Yoshida, a regular customer and CSUSM student, is the authentic quality of the food. “This is the best Japanese food that I have had since leaving Japan. It tastes almost as good as my mother’s cooking,” said Yoshida. Customers have the option of an entree menu and a bowl menu. All entrees come with a small side salad, miso soup, and rice, making these selections an exceptional value. The best value, however, comes with the bowl menu. With the bowl menu, patrons may fill themselves with a delicious meal, without damag­ ing their pocketbooks. With the price of the bowl menu around $4, items such as the salmon teriyaki or the fried pork cutlet may sound even more enticing REVIEW to customers. For first-timers, I recom­ mend Katsudon, a bowl item of breaded and fried pork cutlet over a bed of rice and egg, or Gyudon, a bowl of seasoned beef served over rice and carmelized onions. Some of the bowl selec­ tions even come with a side order, like miso soup or salad. From the entree menu, I sug­ gest the grilled mackerel fish (saba), or the shrimp and vege­ table tempura combination, both of which are reasonably priced at $4.25 apiece. Also an excel­ lent choice for the first-timer is the fried calamari steak (squid), which is served, as all entrees in this establishment are, with a side salad, miso soup, and a side of rice. The only downside to this quality restaurant is the limited hours that it is open. Closed on Sundays, the Boo & Mee Caf6 is open for dine-in or take-out lla.m.-3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. And while this might not be a convenient schedule for those who attend night classes, it provides an excellent respite from the blandness of cafeteria food for students who have a lunch break between classes or who finish up classes earlier in the day. To reach the Boo & Mee Cafe from campus, take Twin Oaks Valley Road to San Marcos Blvd., where you then make a left and head west. Less than two miles down the street, on the right-hand side, is the cafe at 844 West San Marcos Bou­ levard, nestled between Fitness for Her and the Villanueva Taco Shop. t+ % S «klc...0*ly $ Recipe for chiles rellenos Ingredients needed: 2-3 chiles poblanos (peppers) Cheese, tuna or shredded meat 1 tomato Clove of garlic Small piece of onion Oil 2 eggs Flour Salt Prepare and cook the chiles. Roast the chiles, and then peel the skin off. Cut a line through the chiles to remove the seeds, but make sure they are clean. Insert the cheese or tuna (or whatever else you are using), then close and cover it with flour. Beat two eggs; first beat the egg white until it rises and looks like foam, and then add the yolk. Mix them together for 30 seconds and then gently dip the chiles into mix. Place the skillet on the stove, and set the stove to a medium temperature with enough oil in the skillet to cook your chiles. Set the chiles in the skillet and let them cook until they look light brown. Make sure you cook both sides. Once they are cooked, set them aside on a flat plate with a paper towel underneath, so that the oil gets absorbed and is not too greasy. Have tomato sauce ready. To make your own: cut the tomatoes in half, put them in a blender, add water, garlic, onion, and then blend. Set a pot on the stove at a low-medium temperature, add the tomato sauce, and let it boil. Add salt. Just before it starts to boil, add the chiles. Let it boil for two minutes. Make sure you measure the ingredients appropriately to the amount of chiles you are making. For a better meal, have rice and beans ready. Serve al gusto and enjoy. Don’t forget the com tortillas, and a cold beverage. Serves two to three people.

Battle of the Sexes: Surnames By JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIM BOYARSKY your wife’s last name, make women equal and the world will be a better place? What about world hunger, terrorism, or crooked politicians? These are just some of the issues that take precedence over female domination. Kim: I think that it is completely unfair to expect women to change their last names in order to con­ form fo what males want. Society’ s standards towards women are com­ pletely outdated and there is a desperate need to restructure. I ’ m keeping my last name on my wed­ ding day, and my husband will take mine. I plan to have my future hus­ band change his last name to mine; - there is no way that I will take part in this Stone Age behavior. Justin: Listen, women have a place in the world as well as men. Any woman is capable of any­ thing, but you are talking about reversing simple frivolous cultural details. It would needlessly compli­ cate our entire system. How do you expect every letter that used to be addressed “Mr. and Mrs. So-andso” to conform to your scheme and be changed to “Mr. So-and-so and Mrs. Blabs-her-mouth.” “Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so” works fine, it’s easy. Kim; First o ff I never said both genders in a marriage would keep their names; letters would be addressed as “ Mrs. and Mr. Blabsher-mouth Justin: Oh, okay. So then the man would take your last name? Kim: O f course. Justin: So, Ms. Blabs-her-mouth, Kim: Not really, everyproblem has a root, a place where the problem could be eliminated if certain cir­ cumstances were addressed before: the trouble escalated. matter o f what kind o f man, it’ s a simple step away from a sexist society. I f you truly want the world to be a better place, take your wife’ last name. s Justin: That’s it huh? Just take Letter to the Editors: I just wanted you to know that the ASI has made a huge oversight on deciding what is to be “sold” on campus. Two days ago, I perused the stand that had flat metal advertisements for sale. As I went through them, I couldn’t help but notice the dis­ gusting large plaques that had “pickaninny” pictures of African Americans on them. One had a Buckwheat-looking guy holding a large, red piece of watermelon on it. Another had some gross caricature of an African Ameri­ can on it with the words, “Dem Sho Am great” written on it. The list goes on. Just to see how students would respond, I placed them conspicuously in front of the stacks so that there was no way to miss them, and I walked away. They were so horrendous that you would have to be blind not to see the buffoonery they made of blacks. The thing is that they were real advertisements. So today I decided to say something to the guy who was selling them. I literally asked him (loudly) why he “was selling that shit?” Some broad (prob­ ably staff) told me to quit being so “rude,” at which point I asked her what was ruder, the guy selling these strange racist and demeaning plaques or the word “shit” (at which point I said problems such as starving children, over-population, capitalistic greed, HIV, our dying natural environ­ ment or a slew of other problems? Kim: Justin, problems have cata­ lysts and they work in circular chains which interlink, affecting everything around them. Our dying natural environment is caused by capitalistic greed and overpopula­ tion which, in turn, depletes the world’ food supply causing hun­ s ger. The root of all these problems are the men that cause them, and are too stubborn to let a woman take the reins and guide the world f or a change. Justin: You’re reaching, what you need to realize is that most men, myself included, are not going to simply give upt their family name to make their wives happy. The fact of the matter is, the world’s prob­ lems are not as simple as giving females’ dominance to solve men’s mistakes. If you understand a circu­ lar chain of problems that interlink, then you’ll definitely understand that one problem leads to another and if women ruled the world, who knows what we’d be in for. “shit” twice). The bastard selling the stuff said he had a “right’’ to do so, and basically summed up his argument on the basis of “free trade.” He added, “Well, black people buy this stuff.” What is that supposed to mean? White people have been known to buy Nazi memorabilia, but does that make it any more right? I then asked him if he had any Nazi memorabilia which I could buy. If he had the “right” to sell racist crap why didn’t he have any Nazi stuff? That broad then told me to join the military (for some strange reason). At that point I informed her that I already did three years in the army. I could see that I was getting nowhere with these sorry excuses for human beings. I was pissed. After all that, I went to the president’s office to talk with him about the situation, and was patronizingly told to go see the ASI. I did, and some young nerd in a cheap suit disingenuously stuck his hand in my face trying to shake my hand. I didn’t know the guy, so I declined. When I asked how the ASI gave this guy the o k. to sell this stuff, the guy responded by saying that they could not check all of his items. Is that the same logic that the security guards had when they allowed the bombers to hijack the air­ planes? When I told them that if they didn’t do something about the situation I would go to the local and campus paper, they sprang into action. I was afraid that if I didn’t say that, they would blow me off. Anyways, at least the ASI guys in suits went outside to look at the items. But then an even bigger scene erupted when two vendors tried to jump my shit. I told the broad to get out of my face and she said she wanted to spit on it. I admonished her by saying, “you’re from the 60s you should know better.” My main points are these: 1. That the ASI was more concerned about being exposed for not doing better quality con­ trol or being concerned about what is sold on campus, than actually doing better screening. 2. That The Pride is the only independent (and without any special interests that they, are beholden to) outlet for the student body to get any griev­ ances voiced. 3. That the wide berth that the various campus agencies give to the school newspaper is so important, that I hope that you guys continue to expose all the bullshit and hypocrisy that this campus abounds in.

Dear Pride Editors, First of all, I want to apolo­ gize to all of you about the late­ ness of this information due to personal circumstances beyond my control. I realize that you will probably receive this infor­ mation too late to print in the correct edition. Yet, I think it is important that I relay this information to you anyway. On Mon. Oct. 15 MEChA president Isabel Solis and Sylvia White helped organize a studentoperated tamale table, and had the Latino Music Radio Station, KLQV-Kluv, come out for stu­ dents at the Dome plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ASI really appreciated MEChA’s assistance and partici­ pation in putting on this event to help commemorate Latino/ Latina Heritage Month. On Wed. Oct. 17, ASI Programming put on a Latino/Latino Food Festival at the Dome plaza from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. However, due to last minute circumstances beyond the ASI Programming Committee’s con­ trol, we were unable to bring local Latino/Latina food ven­ dors up to our campus with food samples for students as we had originally planned. Therefore, my committee’s concession chair, along with the vice-chair, set up a free nachos table, compliments of ASI,- for students, faculty, and staff at the event. Also, the Latin rock band “Emaue” played on stage for everyone’s enjoyment. Finally, ASI was proud to present Silverio Haro as a guest speaker at this special Latino/ Latina Heritage Month event. Silvario Haro is newly appointed to the Palomar College Board of Trustees, the first Latino in over a decade. He is currently finishing up course work on his doctorate from Harvard and is the graduate adviser at CSUSM. He is a definite friend of the stu­ dents and ASI and we were hon­ ored to have him contribute to a worthy and beneficial event. Thank you for your interest and support. As the new pro­ gramming committee chair, I feel it is important to make myself accessible to The Pride and CSUSM’s students as well as to my fellow ASI programming committee members. Thank you very much for your interest and support with regards to ASI Programming. Sincerely, Eddie Goan ASI Programming Chair �Men’ Soccer s Team Concludes Fall Season .. Compiled By CLAUDIA IGNACIO Pride Feature Editor By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer After months of practice and competition, dstJSM’s men’s soccer players finished out their season Sunday. Both the play­ ers and coach Khalid Al-shafie agreed that this season was a good learning experience. “We learned teamwork and how to build better communi­ cation,” said Antonio Zepeda, ar junior majoring in liberal stud­ ies. “But we need more players for tryouts next season.” Al-shafie said he believed the team needed to work on attend­ ing more practices and condition­ ing themselves for next season. He added, “Some of the things I learned from this season were to look for more players and to be more demanding, as far as com­ mitment.” Compared to last year, how­ ever, he said the team has improved. “Last year, we didn’t win any games,” laughed Alshafie. The team played their last game of the season on Sunday, against USC. The score was not available by press time. This sea­ son, the team won four games, lost four and tied one game (not including Sunday’s game). SCOREBOARD Cal State San Marcos’ men’s golf team competed at the Elco, Inc.

The CSUSMmen’ soccer team ended the season on Sunday, with a game s against USC. The players and Coach Khalid Al-shafie said they are hopeful about next season, and plan to recruit more players. (Pride File Photo) “The players learned a lot from each other by working with one another,” said Joseph Cafiero, the team captain. Al-shafie reflecting on the season, said, “I think we could have worked harder. It’s frustrat­ ing to get players to show up to practice.” „ Zepeda expressed his dis­ appointment that sofne CSUSM students, faculty, and staff did not know about the men’s soccer team. “I hoped that our school and ASI would spread the word a little bit more, putting up more banners and posters saying that we have a soccer team, because there are some people that still don’t know that we have a soccer team,” he said. “Come down and support us whenever the team is playing home; we represent you.” Al-shafie has many plans for the team’s future. “Our plans Matt Higley placed 20th; 222 points Ryan Axlund placed 45th; 229 points Kellon Wagoner placed 51st; 23l points Nick Micheli placed 54th; 233 points Ryan Rancatore placed 75th; 242 points for next season are to win more than four games, to build team rhythm, and to be consistent by Cal State San Marcos9 women’s golf team finished in eighth place after two rounds on Oct. 23. having 90 percent of the players from this season come back for next season,” he said. “Keep The Cougars competed against eight teams at the Cal State Northridge your eyes open for tryouts next Matador Fall Classic and shot a final score of 687 on the River Ridge Golf Course in Oxnard, Calif.

S ' Undocumented Student Bill under Review with CSU » A rticle cont. from pg. 3 The governor’s approval gives hard-working California immi­ grant students an opportunity to achieve their dreams and con­ tribute meaningfully to our soci­ ety.” Currently, this bill will only affect the CSU and the com­ munity college systems that sup­ ported the bill. The bill does not include the Universities of California; however, the UC Board of Regents is expected to vote on this measure. Heckman confirmed that the bill would go into effect January 2002. The bill does not provide financial aid for students. “There’s no financial aid provi­ sion in this bill. It only includes in-state fees,” said Paul Phillips, director of the university’s finan­ cial aid office. Lawmakers, however, still need to clarify the AB540 bill. “The CSU Board of Trustees will sit down to discuss these issues in a few more weeks,” said Heckman. At this time, CSUSM offi­ cials do not know how the new bill will be put into effect. “I am waiting for a memo from the Chancellor’s office to know how the CSUs would enact the bill,” said Heckman, whose office of Registration and Records is responsible for checking appli­ cants’ residence statuses. In addition, there are some requirements that students need to fulfill to become eligible to pay the in-state fees. First, students must have attended a California high school for at least three years. Second, they must graduate from a California high school. Third, they need to begin or have begun their higher education by fall 2001. Fourth, students need to sign a statement stating that they have applied for permanent resident status at the Immigration and Naturalization Services, or that they will do so as soon as they become eligible. “They need to prove that they are in the process of becoming legal residents prior to the sign­ ing of this statement,” said Phil­ lips. Heckman also added that since the day the bill passed, the office of admissions has received many phone calls from high school counselors who want more information about this new law.

Topics included security, facilities use, liability issues and financial management. Officials who addressed the group alternately praised and threatened, cajoled and teased, inspired and depressed the leaders who had given their Friday afternoon to this very important cause. The hosts distributed liberal quantities of H allowe'en candy, many handouts, and 3-inch binders containing detailed information all student leaders and club advisors require. Campus Chief of Police Tom Schultheis reflected on the definition of hate crimes and explained how campus clubs are expected to pay for security for large-scale and dangerous campus events. Calvin One Deer, Director of Student and Residential L ife, lamented the precipitous decline in the number of campus clubs in recent years and expressed the hope that the falling-off of interest in campus organizations would reverse itself. Officials explained that before a club can schedule any activity, students must complete a detailed "Activity Risk Assessment F orm/' obtain the advisor's signature, and submit the form to the ASI office.

Cahill PRIDE EDITOR The annual Dia de los Muertos celebration was held this past Tuesday on the Palm Court between ACD and University Hall. The celebration, sponsored by CSUSM's Day of the Dead Committee, included poetry readings and cafavera readings, in addition to traditional altars, sugar skulls, and papel picado designs. Highly decorated altars, covered in marigolds, the traditional flower of Dia de los Muertos, brightly colored paper decoration, photos, and other significant mementos of loved ones who have passed on filled the courtyard. CSUSM students, faculty, and staff joined in the occasion, constructing their own altars for deceased loved ones. Dia de los Muertos is traditionally celebrated in Mexico on the first and second of November. On these days, altars are constructed in honor of deceased loved ones, and offerings are made to them. Offerings include the favorite foods of the deceased, alcohol and tobacco, and items impor- tant to them in their mortal lives. The purpose of these offerings is to honor the spirit and memory of the deceased. The celebration originated in pre-Columbian Mexico. Scholars believe the tradition originated with the Olmecs, possibly as long as 3000 years ago. This celebration was passed on to other cultures such as the Toltecs, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec and Aztecs. The Aztec version of the celebration of honoring the dead is recognized as the most formative in contemporary practices celebrating Dia de Los Muertos in the United States. The Aztec celebration was held during the month of Miccailhuitontli, and was presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Dead, and dedicated to children and the dead. Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico during the 16th century, Catholicism added new dimensions to the celebration, blending the customs of the Aztec, and other native peoples. The Catholic tradition of All Saints' Day and All Hallows Eve (Hallowe'en) roughly coincided with the preexisting celebration of Mictecacihuatl. The present day event draws from both Roman Cathofic and preColumbian traditions. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride MACARIO Madcap Otis Rocks San Marcos Catherine Armas-Matsumoto June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Coinciding with the "The Day of the Dead" celebration this month on campus, "Death" is the theme for this semester's Hispanic Film Festival, sponsored by CSUSM's Latin World Understanding Student Association, an organization dedicated to promoting appreciation of all Latin culture. Approximately thirty attendees gathered Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:00pm, in Commons 206 to view Macario. Produced in 1958, the film depicts the tradition of "el Dia de los Muertos" in Mexico. A group of young, talented musicians called Madcap Otis provided noontime entertainment f or an appreciative audience on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1999, in the outdoor Dome area. The program of j azz, blues, funk, country, hip-hop, and gospel included several original pieces written by members of the group. All seven of the performers, f ive men and two women, are in their early twen- Based on B, Tavern's book and directed by award-winning director of photography Gabriel Figueroa, the movie Macario, presented in Spanish with English subtitles, is rich in symbolism and metaphor. The story's main character, Macario, a hard working man living in poverty with his family, meets his destiny with Death. Complex on several levels, the film provided excellent subject matter for the spirited discussion that followed. The discussion was facilitated by the club's faculty advisor Dr. Carlos von Son, who shared his knowledge of Hispanic literature and cinema with those present. See MACARIO pg. 7 ^ ties and have been involved in bands or singing since high school. Rosy-Da wnSelwitz, f ull time music major at San Diego State, started her career singing in c offeehouses with her mother as a teenager. Members of the band include Christian Carriger (acoustic guitar), Ben Todd (bass, harmonica), Rebecca Alman (organ), J. J. Sherman (lead guitar, mandolin), Frank Lazarro (hand drums), a nd. Mark Schneider (percussion). The group describes their music as being "eclectic/psychedelic rock and roll." The group performs at Papa Jacks in the Gas Lamp Quarter, Winston's in Ocean Beach, C ain's in La Paloma and N eiman's in Carlsbad. They participated in the "Live at t he B ay" outdoor music festival in Mission Beach, which l i H i wm§ r- ~ v attracted families and people of all ages last summer. Audience member Pauline Brown described the Madcap Otis performers as having "great rhythm, cool j azz," and Janelle Kent observed, "They are diverse, talented — great blues singing." ASI was responsible f or bringing these multi-talented performers to CSUSM. v ' ** , DANA G. FORE / The Pride �2 OPINION Monday, November 08, 1999 DEAR READER: DEAR EDITORS: A week and a half-ago two different clubs on campus publicly accused The Pride of partiality. One student even accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." If that isn't bad enough, it has come to my attention that several articles and letters printed in our student paper have offended various people or groups of people on campus. These and other negative repercussions to offering a mouthpiece for student voice COULD cause me much anxiety, but on review, I am pleased to be a part of this paper, and a part of this campus community. In fact, CSUSM students, faculty, and staff should celebrate the spirit of openness that allows negative commentary as one facet of the communication that exists between The Pride and its readers. In perusal of other university papers, I notice that student issues explored in their pages are minimal, at best. Most articles come off of the college wires, or a re feature or entertainment pieces. In contrast, our student paper attempts to present fair reporting of actual student news that comes from this university. Perhaps of more importance, our readers feel free to respond to the issues presented in our paper, whether for good or ill. Our writers and editors are students, not experienced journalists. We are still learning, but we are dedicated to offering our readers our best efforts in reporting, writing, and editing the news. Part of our "best efforts" includes facilitating communication between members of the campus community. The Pride has many supporters among the administration, faculty, staff, and student body who offer help, advice, and yes, criticism. On behalf of the editorial team, I thank you for your support and tolerance. Without you, The Pride could not exist. In response to Juniata Greenlee's letter in the November 1st issue of The Pride, I feel it is necessary to point out to you that it was the YAF, not the College Republicans, who accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." I am not a member of the College Republicans, nor do I plan to be, but I must come to their defense on this matter. My own political persuasions can be better described as a conser vative environmentalist, and have led me to vote for Libertarians, Republicans, Greens, or occasionally a (gasp!) Democrat. The College Republicans are a respected, nationwide organization with national leadership committed to the furthering of a genuine "republican democracy (note lower case " R," meaning "a republic")," as specified in the Constitution, "...with liberty and j ustice for all" (not j ust straight, white, anglo-saxon males) with a foundation in the teachings of God and many 17th and 18th Century philosophers. The YAF, by contrast, appears to be a ' one-off' collection of opinionated fascists whose feelings cannot be logically jus tified in any way. Oh, and to those who would quote Leviticus twenty-something or other to me ("'Homosexuality is an abomination,' sayeth the Lord."), check out the new covenant given to us by Jesus Christ (the New Testament), "...love your neighbors,...forgive your enemies,...pray for your tormen tors,..." Good stuff like that. Cynthia Woodward Graduate Intern, The Pride NOTHING FOR THE AVERAGE STUDENT After half a semester at California State University San Marcos it has become painfully clear that if I remain here for my entire college education I will die of boredom. D on't get me wrong, I think that this is a great school academically but besides going to class, there is nothing else to do at this campus. If you have a class on Friday, then I think you know what I am talking about. On Fridays, this campus looks kind of like a ghost town. I am just waiting for the tumbleweeds to roll by the window as I sit inside my half empty classroom. The first thing that I thought was interesting and a little shocking was that the average age of the student at this school is around 28. Now being 18 and right out of high school I didn't EbeJWbe Help Stop Sweatshops By Michelle Jacob I recently attended the California Students against Sweatshops conference in Berkeley. It was there that I learned about the student movement against sweatshop oppression. This movement is nationwide, and the CSU schools are trying to unite to bring about changes on our campus and in our communities. Several representatives at the conference spoke about how their campus bookstores (including some C SU's) are selling sweatshop-made clothing. One example that was showed to us was a typical embroidered college T-shirt which retailed at $ 15 in the bookstore. The woman who made, the shirt in a sweatshop got 3 cents for making the shirt. These extraordinarily low wages are the norm for sweatshop workers, and many people are forced to live in desperate poverty because of these low wages. Is our bookstore selling sweatshop items? This gross inequality is something in which our university should not take part. We need to investigate the products our bookstore sells. Anyone (student, staff, faculty, or community member) who is interested in this cause, has additional questions, or would like to help in the investigation can email: activist55@hotmail.com Scott Weselis DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: I have noticed that The Pride now accepts letters and editorials from students on an anonymous basis. In my opinion this is detrimental to the intellectual growth of the newspaper and the campus community. I know of no other established newspaper in the United States that will accept and print letters from those who wish to remain anonymous. It is simply a matter of credibility. I am concerned about those who write letters under the protection of anonymity if you believe in an opinion enough to write it down then sign your name to it also. The realization that the university I attend produces students that are either unwilling or unable to stand behind their own beliefs is very unsettling. It is my understanding that a college newspaper should provide experience in the field of journalism while striving to instill a high amount of quality and integrity for those reporting and editorializing. Respectfully, Brent Wells expect to be in classes sitting next to people who were married and had two kids already. The next thing that I thought was interesting about this school is that there is no on campus living. I understand that this school is still young but it seems to me that no campus living spells no campus life. Also to my knowledge, I might be wrong about this, there is only one sports team. Track. That's great if your good at running but what about all the other sports there are. I understand that the track team is doing very well. But track is not the kind of sport where the whole student body comes out to see them compete like at a Notre Dame football game where the all students paint their faces and all rally together and have a good time. I found nothing like that at this school. These are a few main factors that I can see that are major contributors to the fact that going to school at CSUSM is a bore. I used to think that this school was pretty good until I visited some friends over the weekend at their schools. I must say I feel cheated. My friends are all having the time of their lives and I am here in San Marcos sweating in the hot sun as I watch my college life slowly go by. I must admit that there have been some attempts made to better the student life here at this school but they have had no success. I don't know how it can be done or even where to start, but I do know that something should be done to make life at this school more enjoyable for the average student. Joe I am one of the so-called "tabloid" student writers and I am proud to write for The Pride. I challenge myself to cover many fields. I try to take on as many different topical issues as possible in order to become a versatile writer. I absorb accumulated information and use as much judgment I can to submit an objective article. The information can be helpful for some people and useless for others, but at least i t's out there. For a person to use words like "tabloid" to describe my writing is laughable. But sometimes opinions can carry a louder bark than bite. I can understand people having grievances that carry weight. The person who made the tabloid comment did not raise a valid argument. He supposedly had 200 signatures and brought forward conjectural evidence. Leiana and Samantha held there own on the Mic and correctly represented the newspaper. The advice I 'd offer my fellow students are to submit letters such as this one and take the student newspaper course next semester. By the way, I 've got a great topic for the next issue: "YAF member abducted by aliens!" Whatcha think? RETRACTIONS: In the article "New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards" in the October 25, 1999 issue of The Pride, the sentence "...the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)" was incorrect. The originally installed pushdown type Simmons faucets' are designed to comply fully with the ADA.' The article also stated the replaced faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years. ' The original faucets had not been a regular part of a preventative maintenance program for about one year," says Chuck Walden, Associate Director of Facilities. "Until he had to be temporarily reassigned to a more urgent issue, he [Dennis McFarland, Maintenance Mechanic J was responsible f or maintaining the [plumbing] f ixtures." Mike Spangler, Pride Staff Writer, apologizes for the article's discrepancies. In the October 18, 1999 article "ICC Budget Settled," the vote to grant the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer $400 in Student Development money in scholarships and grants to pay tuition costs was not a "unanimous" as stated. Pride Staff Writer Penny Lanese apologizes for the misinformation.

Every day the ground shakes on campus and on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Hanson Aggregates. They are a San Diego-based company whose business produces concrete, asphalt, and gravel by using rock and sand blasted f rom the ground. The quarry operation next door to the CSUSM campus is an exchange of excavated granite for the leveling of the land, behind the FCB building and upper faculty lot, towards "building-pad height." Ninety percent of asphalt pavement and eighty percent of concrete come from aggregates. Without aggregates, building is impossible. The United States produces over two billion tons of aggregates per year, and Hanson is ranked number three in national production. Formerly known as South Coast Materials (an entity of Hanson Aggregates), in March of 1999 Hanson decided to bring their San Diego holdings together under one name. Approximately f ifty-five workers are employed at their facility. Hanson made two notable purchases in San Diego County last year. In February of 1998, they acquired HG Fenton, the leading aggregate supplier in San Diego, for a $87.-5 million cash purchase.

I know, it's a horrible stereotype but why should I avoid them if the director, Wayne Wang (of The Joy Luck Club fame), won't. Actress and college freshman Natalie Portman, (probably better known as Queen Amidala f rom the new Star Wars), is the young female lead, Ann August. Susan Sarandon, who gets top billing in the promotional materials, but evidently not because of her acting, plays the "adult" female lead, Adele August. And the male lead? Well, there i sn't one. I expected m ore f rom Susan Sarandon and hoped for more from the movie. T he movie doesn't beat up on men too badly, but nonetheless reinforces gender stereotypes of both men and women. Women are still portrayed as docile dependent victims (of men and of. their own delusions) and men are placed in roles of womanizer, abandoning Dad, and soft-spoken, spineless, insignificant living furniture. The best scenes were given to the young Portman, like when she flips the gender-roles' coin and commands her admirer (Peter, played by Corbin Aired), who has just walked in her front door, "Take your clothes o ff." Unfortunately many potentially touching or inspiring scenes went undeveloped or, in the case of the aforementioned scene, the female character reveals to the audience that she i s not strong enough to continue in such a strong role. Indeed role reversal is a major theme with responsible, rational figure as the daughter, while the mother is a careless spendthrift. The reversals are so spoon fed and superficial that they are boring and predictable. No one ever suffers serious consequences for their wrongdoing, the negative stereotypes go virtually unpunished, and most conversations between mother and daughter end in a j oke without resolution. The film's happy Hollywood Ending lacks the gut wrenching squeeze and instead produces nothing more than hot air. The movie may be inspiring for the sweet-sixteen and under crowd, but if you want to see it I suggest that you call your local theaters f or show times, because I predict that it w on't stay there long past its Friday, November 12 opening date. Breakdown Breaks Out! By Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER By Joni Miller aE il W Boys Don't Cry is a remarkable debut effort by director Kimberly Peirce which imparts the true-life story of Brandon Teena. Peirce guides the audience through the short and tragic life of a young girl who undergoes a sexual identity crisis and faces immense injustice for it in a small Midwestern town. Born Teena Brandon, she transforms her identity into that of Brandon Teena, to pursue a life based on his own truth, that of a man. A courageous albeit reckless effort by the young Brandon to live this life, brings catastrophic results when his female identity/body is exposed. 4/ J^jS;? 0m tik Em PRIDE STAFF WRITER J A ±JT nnl Melissa Etheridge has once again created a compilation of rich lyrics and soulful melodies that engage the heart of any lover. The tide track, "Breakdown," blends the anguish of ending a relationship with the solace of knowing that in spite of the pain, the choice was a good one. The classic Etheridge edginess of the piece compels the listener to ask for more, but she gives you just enough to satisfy the call. "Angels Will Fall," the first single to be released off of the new CD, is rising up the charts. "Angels" fuses spiritual longing with earthly desire and culminates in pure fulfillment, both lyrically and musically. Etheridge takes some liberty in self-expression on "Enough of Me," a passionate track that boasts a Freudian connection of sorts. The song is a real treat for all the codependent listeners out there—something too many of us can relate to, unfortunately. Openly Lesbian, Etheridge addresses the feelings of being different as a child in, "Mama I 'm Strange." This cut expresses the longing to be loved, and the ever present need to fit in, to survive. Hauntingly real and inexplicably vivid is Etheridge's loving tribute to Mathew Shepard, "Scarecrow." Her lyrics capture the senseless persecution the young college student suffered before he was brutally murdered in Wyoming. Her words call out to a nation to be accountable for the intolerance and bigotry that defines us. Etheridge's most political effort by far, "Breakdown" bequeaths us eleven gifts of the heart. The CD is enhanced, and can be enjoyed on your personal computer as well as the best that Dolby can supply. It will steal your heart. Hilary Swank (of "Beverly Hills 90210") delivers an extraordinary performance as Brandon Teena. Moving a few hundred miles from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, Brandon begins a new life in Falls City. Meeting up with some local outcasts in a seedy bar, Brandon quickly becomes part of the family of a small group of bored and equally trapped youth known as the "wall people." The supporting cast of characters include Lana (Chloe Sevismy) as Brandon's understanding lover, Candace (Alicia Goransonrone of the "Beckys" from "Roseanne") as Lana's fair weather friend, and John Lotter (Peter Sarsgaard) as a deranged ex-convict with eyes for Lana.

Debra's j ob requires more than simply helping shoppers find suitable outfits. "Women come in and are literally shaking at the thought of an interview," Debra notes. Many of them are just beginning to build up their self-confidence after years of abuse and/or demeaning brainwashing. It's helpful to begin by getting the woman to explain her fear. "Usually this helps t o relax the shopper, and i t's easier to move on to the good part-a fun shopping experience," she said. on a budget check out the bargains available on school clothing at Tried & True.

According to the Tried & True Manager, research indicates that college students tend toward casual attire for a j ob interview. Although the more relaxed dress code is being allowed in many o ffices today, i t's a mistake to believe this is proper for an interview. "The interviewer's impression of the j ob candidate, made during the first five minutes, is usually the strongest and casual dress reflects a casual attitude," she cautioned. Debra recommends that women look like women but dress in a masculine way; that is, they should wear suits, complementing blouses, plain pumps and a minimum of jewelry. You don't have to pay a fortune to dress for success, according to Debra Watson-Samson, Tried & True Resale Store manager. Debra espouses the multitude of money saving opportunities for CSUSM students, faculty, and staff. "Yes, I can help an aspiring j ob applicant choose an appropriate suit, blouse, shoes and accessories for $20," Where does Tried & True get its merchandise? Shopaholics are their most bountiful contributors, the manager explained. It is not unusual for the price tags to be on items when they are delivered to the shop.

A fter getting a good chuckle o ver,my newfound hobby, a friend mentioned that she was going to be out of work - if her father's business didn't pick up. I suggested some minor alterations in her wealth center as well as her travel and helpful people quadrant. I handed a couple of bunches of purple flowers to arrange in groups of four and sent her on her way. With a healthy dose of skepticism, she headed for home to apply the feng shui remedies I had suggested. Three days later she called to let me know that her father had been awarded a large contract that would keep her steadily employed for two years. Not bad for an amateur practitioner. Once you have taken the time to feng shui your space, don't just let it go. It is amazing how quickly a few scrap papers can turn into piles of junk or a beautiful green plant left without water can die. Negative energy will soon follow. My office is in the Knowledge & SelfCultivation area of my home, a place where I am extremely productive with my business and schoolwork. However, the space has become a catchall of clutter and mess, and it has been weeks since I have felt comfortable sitting in front of the computer to work on my term papers. Sitting in the space causes me anxiety, loss of concentration and worse, it has brought about a trend towards procrastination. I 'll certainly be focusing my feng shui eyes on my office before I prepare for finals. Practitioners cannot guarantee specific results, but "millions of people have benefited from the extraordinary power of feng shui," according to an associate from the Western School of Feng Shui in Solana Beach, CA. Personally - I 'm a true believer and suggest that before you shrug this off as silly superstition, give it a try. The results may astound you!

The goal is to educate the campus community on the importance of recycling and the importance of looking for and buying merchandise that states: 'Made f rom RecycledContent Materials.' The theme of the program, "For Our Children's F uture...Buy Recycled Today," reinforces the fact that we must conserve our natural resources for coming generations. The message is that if we don't use recycled materials to make new products, then recycling is j ust another form of throwing things away. , Facility Services will staff a table from 10:00am to 2:00pm on November 15 and will share information about the program. Activities planned for the day center on the "Dumpster Dive," an activity that outfits faculty members, staff, and students in protective clothing so they can dive into to Extended Studies and the Faculty Parking lot). Participants will descend into waste heaven, otherwise known as the trash receptacles, to retrieve and identify items for recycling, besides the usual items. The Dive takes place after lunch, behind the FCB Building. This adjacent activity also serves to reduce the amount of waste taken to landfills, and to increase awareness of CSUSM's recycling program. Participants in the Dumpster Dive receive a free noon time lunch of pizza and soft drinks, so reserve a spot in the bin. Participants may also show up the day of the event. Dedicated volunteers will sort, categorize, and weigh trash with an assist from Bill Dean who is with Edco Waste and Recycling. Facility Services and Edco are sponsors of the event.

In addition to the new library and the arts and science buildings, the field house is scheduled to begin construction in July of 2001. "The field house will serve as a recreational building for students," according to Dave Dennis of CSUSM Planning and Construction. The building will house a gymnasium with half Courts for basketball and volleyball, men and women's locker rooms, conference rooms, offices for student government and a convenience store. The field house will also include a 24-Hour Fitness-style weight room with bicycles and other exercise equipment.

SanDiegans include, Rick Draney, Daniel Guillou, Troy McGuirk and Ralph Shadowens. Guillou broke his neck in 1986 when diving into the shal- On Campus low end of a public pool. He was only sixteen years old when he became a quadriplegic. Guillou, a math major, took the semester off to prepare for the games. This is Guillou's first Paralympic competition. According to the Olympic Committee, Dan Guillou is one of the founding members (1993) of the Sharp Shadow WR Team from Southern California, Guillou's Shadow team has never placed lower than 5th at the national championships. His Shadow squad finished as the USQRA National Champions from 1996-98. As stated in his Paralympic athlete profile, "since starting to play rugby in 1991* Guillou has won many all-tournament team awards including his selection to the 1999, '96 and '95 National Championship All-Tournament teams and one Sportsmanship Award. Guillou was also on the 1993 USA Wheelchair Rugby Team that won a gold medal at The StokeMandeville International Wheelchair Games in England." • After the game both teams congratulated each other for a great match. Photo by Melanie Addington How to Play Wheelchair Rugby Commonly referred to as "murder ball", rugby (and wheelchair rugby) consists of several sports; basketball, volleyball and ice hockey played on a basketball court. The game is played in four eight-minute quarters. Wheelchair Rugby is for quadriplegics, meaning all of the athletes have some paralysis in all four limbs. All of the athletes use manual wheelchairs and full Dan Guillou (number 11) helped defense for the USA team. Photo by Melanie Addington Students Apply for NASA Project »Continued from page 1 Students from more than 350 colleges and universities will compete for the opportunity to test their theories at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Their project, A.M.I.S. (Airway Management in Space), passed the first hurdle of the competition when the TSGC approved the plan for further consideration. Now the group has to complete their proposal for a November 6 deadline. Team member Mike Garcia said, "Our goal is to prove we can put a better apparatus in place for dealing with respiratory emergencies in space." A.M.I.S. team members believe that a device called a COMBITUBE will work better in a respiratory emergency than the equipment astronauts use T he Pride now. Currently, astronauts have equipment that requires extensive training by the user. Due to the effects of microgravity in space, handling those devices can be problematic. The COMBITUBE has features that Team A.M.I.S. thinks make it uniquely suited for space missions. It reduces guesswork by employing a marked air tube, chair contact is legal. The Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association states, "as a sport specifically created for quadriplegics, wheelchair rugby is truly an emerging sport, rather than and adapted or modified version of an already existing able-bodied sport." A volleyball is used and can be carried, dribbled or passed, but not kicked. The ball must be bounced every ten seconds. The offensive team has fifteen seconds to come out of its own half of the court. Violation of the rules results in a turnover 6f the ball. According to the International WR Federation, the most common fouls are: interference, holding, charging and spinning. The goal is to carry the ball over the opponent's eight-meter long goal line, which results in the scores. The teams consist of four players and eight substitutes. The players are classified from 0.5 I (lowest) to 3.5 (highest) accordI ing to their abilities. Dan Guillou ranks as a 0.5 and states that he is i primarily on the court for defen1 sive strategy. He states that if the 1 ball gets into his hands, "some[ thing has gone terribly wrong." Typically, the 3.5 ranked players make most if not all of the which lets the user estimate how far the tube is inserted into the mouth. A latex cuff holds the device in place, while the tube is directed through it, down the airway. Two syringes, at the oppo! site end of the tube, are used to j inflate balloons that provide air | to the patient. SDSU's Michelle Inzunza initiated the idea while visiting NASA last summer. Inzunza invited Bennet, Garcia, and Lora Elliott of San Diego City College to join her in the proposal. Elliott told how she became part of the group, "Michele called me to ask if I wanted to get involved and I jumped at the idea." All four are science majors and paramedics who work together. CSUSM Biology major J.J. Campbell was added to the team as an alternate. Campbell said, "Fm excited to be part of the team." According to Inzunza, Campbell's role may be the most important "Since the program is open only to undergraduates, J. J. (Campbell) will be the one to pass knowledge of the process to other groups." The team wants to promote their experience so that other students will apply for the Back row (left to right): J.J. Campbell, Mike Garcia and Lor a Elliott. grants.

He is the fastest and has the most maneuverability of his teammates, but the level of their paralysis and not their skill is how all athletes are ranked. History Wheelchair rugby was formed in 1977 in Canada. In 1989, the first International Competition was held in Toronto. In 1990, the World Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Games held WR. Dan Guillou participated in the 1993 USA team that won the gold medal in those games.,The first of three European Zone Championships were held in Sweden in 1995. In that same year, the International Paralympic Committee granted WR a Paralympic Sport status. In the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics, wheelchair rugby was a demonstration sport, meaning it was a pre-game to grant the medal sport status for the Sydney 2000 games. This was the first year that medals were given for WR. Along with the Paralympic gold medal, U.S.A is currently ranked the world champion of wheelchair rugby. to test their theory. Their experiment will be conducted while flying in a specially equipped aircraft (KC-135A) that NASA uses primarily, in support of its space missions. Gerhardt Konig, a UCSD student who was successful in winning a grant last year, also advises the team. Besides advising them on their proposal, Konig wants to help them promote their experience. "I think I can help them make this into a more publishable research project," said Konig. The A.M.I.S. team has also solicited the help of the California Space Grant Consortium (CSGC) which has initially earmarked $3000 for their project. Ultimately, the CSGC may fund as much as $25000 toward the A.M.I.S. project. A.M.I.S. team members are committed to participate in a community outreach program after conducting the experiment. One idea they have is to use toys in their experiment, so they can use them in promoting the effects of reduced-gravity conditions to schoolchildren. The team would also lecture at venues like the Rueben H. Fleet space museum in Balboa Park. �The Pride On Campus CSUSM Student Government CAPS R eaches Out to C ollege Students By: Melanie Addington When finished with the test, the Alive and Well Pride Editor student adds up the total score.

Sunni Lampasso and Travis Bradberry of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) set up a table outside the Dome to provide information regarding students and alcohol as part of Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, October 16-20. Lampasso and Bradberry also passed out key chains, pens, and informational brochures on drinking safely and alcohol-problem assessment tests. The first p art of the assessment test consisted of four questions: "Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? Have you ever had an eye-opener (a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves)?" The second section of the test asked ten questions/Some of the questions asked, "How do you drink? How often do you feel guilty, and have you ever harmed someone through your drinking?' "If the score is an eight or higher it indicates a strong likelihood of hazardous or harmful alcohol consumption," according to Core Concepts in Health, the source of the tests. Although the assessment test was only given during the Awareness campaign, Bradberry explained that students are welcome to talk with them (CAPS) at any time through the year.

Try naming the President of our student government or the name of the government s/he leads. Where does our government get its funding and how are monies spent? Student representation at CSUSM is alive and well, but you have to look for the letters ASI. The Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is the official name of student government at CSUSM. ASI consists of eighteen board members; five executives, three student directors, and ten representatives Every April, the CSUSM student body holds an election to select its leaders to one-year terms, and they are responsible for protecting student rights at CSUSM. According to ASI President Dean Manship, vacancies still exist in five representative positions including Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and Post Baccalaureate, " the vacant positions are open to an application process by the Board. It is important for the students to get involved," said Manship. • As its name infers, ASI is a corporation, founded in 1991.

CSUSM S tudents D ecorate S kulls I n C elebration of t he D ay of t he D ead By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer "That workshop was fun,'* remarked Maria Cervantes. Cervantes was one of many CSUSM students who attended a sugar skull workshop, "Taller de Calaveras de azucar", on Thursday evening* October 26. The workshop was hosted by the Spanish Department and taught by Liz Strahle, a Spanish major. The workshop focused on how to create sugar skulls, also known as "calaveras de azucar." The creation of the skulls is a Mexican tradition that coincides with "El Dia de los Muertos." Students received Mexican fortune cookies during the beginning of the workshop and then Strahle briefly discussed the history of the skulls in Spanish. According to Strahle, sugar skulls are made every year to adorn home altars and cemetery grave yards in hopes of welcoming back those unfortunate souls that have passed on to the other side. The skulls are made from Tuesday, October 31,2000 3 An altar decorated by students for the Day ofthe Dead. Students took part in a Sugar Skull workshop on Oct. 26 in celebration of the holiday.

The sugar-skull tradition is rich in history and takes its roots from the Aztec practices of keep- ing skulls around in hopes that the dead will return. After the students received the history of the skulls, they were finally able to get down to business to make their own sugar skulls; The students were male and female, young and old and from various ethnic and social backgrounds. The group seated themselves around tables that contained already made skulls, decorative ornamentats and tools for the job. Some of the students decorated their skulls with flowers, some with flashy colored paper, and some skulls with swirls. The chosen decorations gave on-lookers insight into the personality of the creator of each skull. Whether students chose to attend the workshop to learn to decorate sugar skulls, to learn the history of where they came from, or to just have f un, the experience proved to be both entertaining and enlightening for everyone. employs an Executive Director to help manage the day-to-day operations. Over the past three years, the ASI budget has tripled to approximately $660,000. Students pay a $50 fee every semester to ASI and as enrollment increases, so does ASI's income. ASI also receives about $160,000 in income from The Early Learning Center. The childcare facility, located on Twin Oaks Valley Road, was acquired by ASI to benefit CSUSM students. Manship wants students to take full advantage of the subsidized childcare offered at the center, "We need to get the word out that child care at the center only costs the student twenty dollars a day. The center is licensed for forty-eight children, but most days they are only at half-capacity." The Board of Directors convenes regularly to discuss how ASI should distribute funds. One way the money is spent is by awarding scholarships. ASI also sponsors student activities such as concerts, multicultural events and Have you visited the revamped ASI Student Lounge yet? It's located in Commons 201. at work. Besides those expenditures, ASI also hires students as part-time workers to carry out the daily chores of operating student government on campus. Manship, who meets regularly with CSUSM President Gonzalez, stressed that representing the student body is his primary concern. "I have more of an opportunity to make the students' voices heard at the University," said Manship. He also hopes more students will become involved in campus government at CSUSM.

Esta festividad se Ileva a cabo el primero de noviembre y aunque hoy en dia la manera de celebrarla de los mexicanos se parece bastante a Halloween, aun conserva sus ingredientes originates que son tipicos de esta celebration tales como los altares, el pan de muerto, los alfeniques; la flor de cempasuchil (tambien conocida como la flor de muerto), y la yisita al cementerio a visitar la tumba de sus familiares ya fallecidos. Ademas, durante este tiempo Se le dedican calaveras o satiras a personalidades destacadas o politicos. Desde antes de la llegada de los espanoles a Mexico, los aztecas ya hacian ritosyofrendas a sus muertos. Los aztecas tenian lugares especiales donde ofrecian comida a sus muertos dos veces por ano por cuatro anos porque creian que en ese tiempo llegaban al lugar donde descansaban. Despues de la conquista, los mexicanos hacian estas ofrendas en los altares que hacian en sus casas. Desde entonces es una tradition hacer altares. Estos arreglos generalmente se hacen encima de una mesa donde ponen la fotografia de la persona fallecida, una imagen de la Virgen Maria o de su santo preferido, veladoras, y flor de muerto o cempasuchil. Ademas, se le agrega al altar la comida preferida de la persona cuando estaba viva. Y es asi como la gente pojie sus altares a sus familiares muertos creyendo que ellos^yienen durante la noche a comer. Hay algo tambien muy tipico en "El Dia de los Muertos" y esto es el "pah dq muerto". Aunque el nombre indique algo diferente no es mas que un pan hecho con ingredientes iguales a los panes comunes. La diferencia es que el pan de muerto tiene uiiO& treinta centimetros de diametro y unos cinco de espesor. En "El Dia de los Muertos" los vendedores colocan sus puestos en las plazas del centro de las ciudades o pueblos donde venden sus panes. Aparte del pan de muerto, tambien se vende el alfenique. El alfenique es una pasta de azucar que se le da formas diferentes y se cose en aceite de almendras. Las figuras de alfenique qu£ se pueden encontrar en esta fecha son la tipica calavera, un cajon de muerto con un esqueleto adentro, una pareja de calavera? besandose, y casas con calaveras adentro. Adem&s, se encuentran calaveras vestidas de maestro, de doctor, de futbolista, de boxeador, y hasta de karateka. Alii mismo se le imprime a la calavera el nombre que el cliente guste. El tamano de estas figuras varia desde unos dos a treinta centimetros aproximadamente. En "El Dia de los Muertos" no puede faltar la flor de cempasuchil como la conocian los aztecas, una flor amarilla que ya usaban los aztecas en sus ritos a sus muertos antes de la llegada de los espanoles. Esta flor se usa para ponerla en los altares y llevarle flores a los muertos al cementerio. The History Of Halloween By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer Year after year, Halloween is observed and celebrated. Giving us all a good excuse to let down our guards a little and have some fun. I myself remember many sleepless nights spent imagining the endless supply of candies I would be receiving on Halloween night. Or the countless armies of illuminated pumpkin faces placed behind drawn curtain windows that would be greeting me on my journeys to obtain such a candy bounty. Yet I never sat down and thought about its origins, just where did Halloween come from and how long has it been observed? Halloween it seems has been around in one form or another since day one. From Egypt which observed the Death of Osiris to modern day Mexico which observes El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, some sort of Death Festival has taken place and been celebrated. Traditions of melancholy for being alive and of reflection for those deceased being passed down the millenniums and changed here in there to fit the latest religions and social beliefs. The biggest link to how Como decla mi amigo Pedro cuando ibamos al cementerio y veiamoS miles de gentes visitando a sus muertos, "Parece que los muertos no mueren.

Moreover, the newspapers publish satirical poems dedicated especially to politicians or famous people of Mexico, The following is a "calavera" dedicated to CSUSM students: Halloween has made its way here to the United States can be found in the Ancient Celtic traditions of Ireland and Scotland. Halloween as we now it in the United States was first observed as the Druid holiday of the new year, Samhain. Samhain occurred on Nov 1 and was said to be the time of the year when the two worlds of the living and the after life where to be at their closest to each other. Ghosts and Spirits of those passed away were said to have the capability of crossing over that day back into the world of the living;. The festival would begin the eve of Nov 1, Oct 31 called Oidhche Shamhna before the onset of dusk and Samhain (Dusk to the Ancient Celts was the beginning of the day not the ending, days ran from dusk of one day to the dusk of the next day): With dusk nearly arriving, the different families of a particular village would gather around one immense fire that they would burn sacrificed cattle in. This practice lead to the term Bonfire, or Bone Fire. From this bonfire all patrons of the village would return home and light their home fires, signifying unity with in that village. Samhain arrived with the dusk and the villagers returning year on NovL In 837 A.D. Shamhain was adopted by the Christian Church and forever transformed into All Hallows Day or All Saints day, Oidhche Shamhna was subsequently designated All Hallows Eve and later Halloween. The Church took up some of the practices of these days, but ultimately deemed others as both demonic and satanic. Thus they changed some of the customs and lost the original intent of the Celtic culture. In the early 1900's Irish immigrants brought with them to this country many of their traditions and customs. Customs and traditions that had been passed down to them over the centuries by their relatives and parents, and that would make an impact upon and take shape within their new homeland of America. Perhaps the most recognizable and most important of these impacts was influencing and shaping Halloween into the holiday as we know it today. to their homes. Local villagers now home would unlock gates, and leave out food and drink to appease happy wanted spirits. They would conversely leave out turnips or beats that had fierce or angry faces carved in them to act as guardians against angry spirits that were not wanted. Angry spirits were said to be capable of destroying or bringing bad luck to farmers who hoped for a prosperous growth of crops in the coming spring. These villagers would also try and avoid nocturnal animals such as bats, owls, or cats that were said to have the power of crossing between the world of life and the world of death and often times followed the dead around. These animals were feared arid left alone on this day just m case that they might be following an angry spirit. This day however was not all about fear because the Ancient Celts believed this day to be a day not only as a time of reflection upon those who were dead but as a time of celebration as well. Families held prayers and eat mini feasts, children were said to dress up like the dead and play pranks upon the living, and the community was strengthened as a whole by the great bonfire ceremony that took place every Poor university students!

In the 1998 congressional elections, a pathetic 36 .4% of the population bothered to visit the poll. What is worse is'that the 1998 turnout was lower than the 38.8% of the population that showed up in the 1994 off-year congressional election. Signs are pointing to an even lower voter turnout in this upcoming November 2000 election. It is frightening to think that our voter turnout percentages are only higher to that of Switzerland, and they aren't exactly voting for potentially the most politically powerful man in the world. We have all heard the reasons why before, " My vote doesn't really count. I don't really care. Politics is boring." Whatever the reason, any reason for neglecting to vote is not good enough. We ; don't live in a pure democracy, yet our ability to be involved in free and fair elections is a fundamental element of our power as I individual citizens. As college s tu3Mts,"iFl^ of the utmost importance for us to develop good voting habits. We are part of the educated future. If you are far from home, that is still no excuse. Steve Dwyer, a student at Minnesota State University says, " I did something that I hope all college students do; I voted by absentee ballot. The act of voting is a very simple act, yet at the same time it produces an immense effect." If freshmen in Minnesota can vote, so can we. Low voter turnout may not, however, be the total result of sloth. An article from the National Council for Economic Education, on November 2^ 1998, cites economics as a culprit for low voter turnout. "The cost of obtaining detailed information about candidates (e.g., attending meetings, reading position papers) is so high that voters tend to depend on inexpensive forms of information about candidates, such as using the media and talking to friends." - So, you think you don't have time? Read your college newspaper, hopefully you are doing it right now. The information will be enough to get you interested in finding out more. If you still don't have time to read, MTV has a" rock the vote" program that infiltrates their daily mix of music. The radio can also be utilized during that drive to school to get your daily dose of political information. In a perfect world, we all vote and we would all take an active roll in our political future this November. Hopefully, the statistics of American Voter Turnout give lis pause and send a few of us to the polls a little more excited about our involvement in our governmental process. Who Votes Less? -Youhg Voters (people aged 18-20) have the lowest voter turnout of all age groups. -Nonwhites vote less than whites. -People with less education vote less than people with more education. -Unemployed people vote less than employed people. -People living in cities vote less than people in rural areas. -People living in the North and West vote more than people living in the South.

Michael Torres M San Diego County Campaign Madness: Part III (Steinem) By: Victor Mireles Pride StaffWriter On the campus of SDSU, some students walked to their dorms, some students sat on the porch of Monty's Pub drinking pitchers of beer, and some students came to watch the presidential debate on Tuesday, October 17. Voters For Choice, a nonpartisan group founded by feminist Gloria Steinem, held a debateviewing gathering in support of SDSU's delegation. As the name implies, the group supports abortion rights, gay and lesbian rights, and other matters critical to this pro-choice group. Unlike other debate parties where either the groups were extremely partisan or extremely apathetic to the mainstream political process, Voters for Choice did not celebrate debate points or quips by either candidate, but most of the thirty people attending the event watched in total concentration. Executive Director of Voters for Choice, Maureen Britell, views the presidential race with nervousness. "I think we are all concerned," she said in response to polls showing George W. Bush with a small lead. "I don't think they understand the stakes. The Supreme Court, Roe vs. Wade are all in jeopardy." Although the group supports A1 Gore, Maureen made a point of saying that the group is bi-partisan. "We don't care if they are Democrat or Republican. It's about choice." Gloria Steinem was scheduled to appear at the debate viewing, followed by a Q & A session regarding the presidential race. Maureen Britell reported that Steinem had to leave with a family emergency. Halfway through the debate, a Women's Studies class came to hear Steinem. When the Women's Studies professor learned that Gloria was not at the debate viewing, she said, "It's disappointing," The Voters For Choice workers gave interviews to media vendors.

Browne ran f orjhe office of the President in 1996 and received 485,759 votes, the second highest total ever for a Libertarian since the party's formation in 1971. Yet, the average person has never even heard of this man, let alone understands his position concerning taxes, social security, education, or any other key issues that will affect or influence their decision in the polls on November 7. Harry Browne was born in New York City on June 17, 1933. He lived in Los Angeles for a good deal of his childhood and now resides in Franklin, Tennessee.

Bush: Republican By: Nicole Moreno Pride Staff Writer If you feel as if everyone is talking about campaign issues, from political news correspondents to soccer moms in the local grocery store, you are correct. The platforms of Gore and Bush are the talk of the nation. Many voters, however, remain confused about which candidate to vote for because they have not had a chance to study all of the issues in depth. Information regarding the Republican Party and George Bush's positions on the issues follows: Trade Bush supports restoration of "fast track" negotiating authority for the President, which is a move toward the elimination of trade barriers and tariffs. He has called for strict enforcement of anti-dumping and unfair trade laws. Bush seeks the expansion of NAFTA and China's admission into WTO. Education Bush believes that reform of the nation's public schools is overdue. Reform, according to Bush, includes a necessary setting of high standards, promoting character education, and ensuring school safety. States will be offered freedom f rom federal regulation, but will be held accountable via mandatory yearly performance assessments. • Taxes Bush believes that one-quarter of the surplus should be returned to the people through broad tax cuts. These cuts include fiigh marginal rates, doubling of the child credit, elimination of the death tax, reduction in the marriage penalty, and expansion of Education Savings Accounts and charitable deductions. The largest percentage of cuts will go to the lowest income earners. Abortion Pro Life. Exceptions are to be made in cases of rape and incest. Bush places an emphasis on parental notification and rights and protection of unborn children. This information is only the tip of the presidential iceberg. A decision on which candidate is right for you can only be the result of attention to details as stated by the candidates and those who represent them. An idea of the scope of the candidates' endeavors can be glimpsed by an understanding of their views on the major issues.

Lee Thibadeau Al Gore Photo by Nebuxi With only a few days left before the election, the race for the Presidency is very close. For months, Al Gore has laid out his agenda in great detail. Education Al Gore's plan to improve education has three parts: he will require testing of all new teachers to ensure that they are knowledgeable in the subjects that they teach. He will also phase-in national testing of students in phases, and will give more money to schools that show improvement in testing and academic scores. Finally, he will support measures to raise teacher's salaries. Al Gore is opposed to school vouchers and merit pay. Both the National Education Association and the American Federation of Dr. Cynthia Skovgard "I will work to change policies and political coalitions that are driving endless growth," stated Skovgard. "Status quo, mediocre elected representatives are duplicating the reckless mistakes of Orange and Los Angeles Counties. We need to protect our priceless rural community from such destruction. Growth is not inevitable; shortsighted leaders create it." Up her sleeve lies the proverbial "ace in the hole," an initiative currently referred to as "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act." Authored by Skovgard and the San Marcos Chamber of Citizens, the ballot measure promises to curtail growth to "acceptable levels" by leaving the ultimate decision up to the people. The measure, which will be voted on in November, accomplishes this feat by requiring Tuesday, October 31,2000 7 patients' privacy, gives special attention to the needs of the physically and mentally disabled, and conducts treatment and research unimpaired by sexism, racism, or homophobia." Even with his arrests and zealous attitude, McReynolds realizes the necessary steps for bringing about widespread political change. "I am more moderate than many in my party and I hope to unify forward thinkers nation wide that is the only really way to bring about change, through unification," says Reynolds. For McReynolds, the goal of a freethinking, liberal society will not end with the 2000 election, as America's change will come slowly; McReynolds understands the battle. later. He began a career as a lawyer in Washington, DC, and became well known in 1965 for his book Unsafe at Any Speed, which exposed dangerous defects in cars. He has founded and organized consumer rights' agencies, like the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), Consumer Product Safety Administration and Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), and is responsible for several federal laws that deal with the protection of consumers. The Clean Air Act, Freedom of Information Act and OSHA are among Nader's projects. voter approval for any development project that alters the City of San Marcos' General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. "The San Marcos Growth Management and Neighborhood Protection Act of 2000" would specifically call for voter approval for anything that increases the intensity or density of the General Plan. This voter approval would be gathered through either special or general elections, depending on the timeliness of the matter. "Growth is not inevitable," added Skovgard.. "People didn't move here to become part of LA; they moved here to get away from it." The current General Plan, as approved by the City Council, already provides specific areas for agriculture, housing, soft retail and industrial sites, called zones. Furthermore, the plan calls for the city to essentially "build out" at the 100,000-population mark in twenty years. So why do we need another law to make the City Council abide by a plan that they initiated? As Dr. . Skovgard puts it, they seem to have no interest in sticking to their original plan. The proposition Skovgard states was drafted in response to 68.3 percent of the community who stated in 1993 that they would like to see San Marcos stay about the same, population wise, as it was then. The figures come from a council-commissioned study called "Imagine! San Marcos." "They say they have this open door policy for information," added Skovgard, "they say they want the public's input but then they don't use it." �8 Tuesday, October 31,2000 Prop. 932: Veterans Bond By: Jared E.

Proposition 32 would add another $500 million to that fund, allowing about 2,500 more veterans to receive loans. The Cal-Vet program has not yet cost the taxpayer a penny because participating veterans pay into the program. Consequently, Proposition 32 would not cost the taxpayer anything, unless the payments of the participating veterans did not fully cover the costs of the program (which will be $858 million dollars after interest, to be paid back over 25 years at $34 million per year). efits and employer-matched contributions. Current state employees can contribute up to 5 percent of their salary to the plan while the state's contribution is determined annually by PERS and is dispersed according to percentages of the employee's salary. Supporters of Prop 33 ask for the same benefits for legislators as any other state employee. They believe that by denying our elected officials access to a retirement plan, then the only people who will be able to afford to run for office would be people who are rich enough not to need pension plans. Supporters state that Prop 33 "will require no additional state spending." Opponents to Prop 33 state, "the cost for maintaining this benefit would be under $1 million each year," depending on how .many legislators enroll in the program. Further, opponents say that legislators receive a salary of $99,000 and are reimbursed for some living expenses; they do not want to encourage people to run for office with the promises of luxury benefits at taxpayer expense. A snapshot of Vietnam Soldiers Photo by Lionel Burns Prop. 34: Campaign Contributions and Spending By: Christopher Orman Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday November 7, Californians will congregate to various polling stations, certainly confused on Prop 34. Claiming to bring about campaign finance reform, both liberals and conservatives can be heard arguing in favor of or against the proposition. The major argument about Prop 34 concerns the status of Prop 208, a campaign finance reform law passed in 1996. In January of 1998, a lawsuit challenging Prop 208 blocked the enforcement of the law's provisions. With Prop 208 dead, the California State legislature felt campaign finance reform remained necessary for California's elections. However according to opponents of Prop 34, such as John McCain, the proposition has fewer restrictions than Prop 208. compete with the public services could lead to dangerous cost cutting, which may lead to a loss of quality in city roads, schools, and bridges. Those in favor of Prop 35 insist that allowing competition would lead to faster development of necessary highways, schools, and bridges, in turn, increasing state productivity and improving By: Nathan Fields necessary public works.

If passed, the proposition would affect more than 24,000 nonviolent, personal-use drug offenders a year. Supporters of Proposition 36 say it would cut serious crimes that accompany addiction and relieve crowded prisons, saving the state an estimated $250. million a year. Under Proposition 36, those sent to rehabilitation would be forced to pay their own fees if the courts determine they can manage the costs. Offenders could be put behind bars if they fail or refuse the program. In most cases, successful completion o r rehabilitation would qualify offenders to have their charges dropped and Prop 34, according to the California Voter's Information guide, proposes to limit individual campaign contributions per election: $3,000 for state legislature, $5,000 for statewide elective office and $20,000 for governor races. Not only would limits be placed, but also contributions or expenditures of $1,000 or more would be disclosed on-line to the public in twenty-four hours. Proponents of Prop 34 comment on the lack of donation size limits under the current laws. On the construction of Prop 34, Gray Davis, who has continually worked for campaign finance reform, commented to the LA Times, "This bill was devised largely in secret, without the input from public or knowledgeable sources making the proposition imperfect." Concurring with. Davis' sentiments, the fairly liberal San Francisco Chronicle about Prop 34 wrote in a September 24th editorial, "The major parties are handed vast loopholes in 34 that will enable them to become big benefactors to candidates who are otherwise constrained in fund arrest record erased. According to the California Department of Corrections, drug offenders in prison jumped from 1,778 in 1980 to 45,455 last year. California spent more than $1 billion to imprison offenders in 1999 alone. In addition to potential savings for not housing offenders in existing prisons, the state might also save $500 million that would be spent on new prisons, according to the State Legislative Analyst's Office. The state estimates the measure would also free up some 12,000 county jail beds statewide. "I hope we can finally understand that get-tough' drug laws are wasting money and getting poor results," said Assemblyman Tony Cardenas, D-Van Nuys, an outspoken advocate of prevention legislation to the L.A. Times. Cardenas said drug dealers should continue to get stiff sentences, but users - about half of California's drug offenders - should be given a chance at rehabilitation. Opponents of Prop. 36 claim that it over-estimates private rehabilitation programs, and believe that more money should be spent on in-prison rehabilitation programs instead. But addicts would raising. Providing an example of Prop 34's loopholes, the San Francisco Chronicle explains, "For example, an Assembly candidate would be forced to raise most of his or her money under a $3,000-per-donation limit, but the party could directly contribute any amount of money it wished to the candidate." "Parties would become a major source of backdoor contributions to candidates, as has occurred at the federal level with the proliferation of "soft money," would happen with the passage of Prop 34, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote. Some voters remain concerned about the status of Prop 208. If litigation against Prop 208 finds the proposition unconstitutional, and voters vote "no" on Prop 34, California would have no campaign finance reform laws. Voters will have to decide between an imperfect proposition created hastily and secretively or face the prospect of, no campaign finance reform for California. [For more information: http://www.calvoter.org. have to be criminalized to take advantage of prison programs. Opponents point out that no standards for private clinics have been set. The measure would heavily affect clinics and detoxification rehabilitation centers, where the state aims to spend $120 million over five years, or $4,000 per drug offender, as opposed to $20,000 spent on each prison inmate. It is clear, however, that legislation is needed to set strict standards to prevent unqualified centers from winning contracts. While opponents of the measure think the stated numbers of state savings are overly optimistic, Proposition 36 supporters have a sharp advantage, having raised a $3 million in funding compared to just $215,000 raised by opponents. Proposition 36 would initiate the largest program of its kind in the nation by far. Arizona voters passed a similar measure in 1996, with the Arizona Supreme Court reporting in 1999 that 75 percent of program participants were shown to stay off drugs. �The Pride Vote 2000: The Propositions Prop: 37 Fees, Vote Requirements, Taxes By: Benjamin Wayne Pride Staff Writer • Requires a two-thirds vote of the State Legislature or local electorate in order to impose or increase a fee that imposes no regulatory obligation. • Redefines these fees as taxes. • Excludes certain real property fees, assessments and development fees. • Excludes damages and penalties or expenses recoverable from a single event (e.g., hazardous waste spills.) • Does not apply to fees enacted before July 1, 1999. Background Governments impose taxes and fees to collect revenue for public projects. Taxes are generally used to pay for public services like education or transportation. Fees are used to pay for a particular service that does not benefit the entire citizenry. Fees come in two major categories. General user fees, such as park entrance fees and garbage collec- Tuesday, October 31,2000 9 tion fees are imposed to directly pay the cost of running a public business. Regulatory fees are imposed to place rules on individuals and businesses to achieve a particular public goal, such as environmental impact fees, hazardous waste disposal fees and smog certification fees. Fees are imposed by a simple majority vote from either the state legislature of the local governing bodies. Taxes, however, require a two-thirds vote. Thus taxes are much more difficult to impose than fees. Proposition 37 would require a vast majority of fees to be approved by a two-thirds majority vote.

With the poorest standard of education. Feinstein Americans falling behind while many are getting ahead, Feinstein believes the working class must be compensated. By raising the minimum wage here in California and nationally, workers could improve their working skills through continuing education and job training. This increase in minimum wage would help close the gap in incomes and help families with the rising inflation and high costs of living. Senator Feinstein strongly believes that enabling all Americans to become economically upward by improving education, increasing the minimum wage, and producing new jobs is critical for California. As a California Senator, Feinstein had many accomplishments that included being the first woman to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1994. It was during her service on the Senate Judiciary Committee that she won the most challenging battle of her career with the passage of a ban on the manufacturing, sales and possession of 19 types of military-style assault weapons. Feinstein received a B.A. in History from Stanford University in 1955 and was appointed by California Governor Pat Brown to the women's parole board in 1960 at 27 years of age. She became the Mayor of San Francisco in 1978 following the assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. As San Francisco's Mayor, she demonstrated a sense of command, managed the city's finances, balanced nine budgets in a row and was chosen "Most Effective Mayor," according to City and State Magazine. Information from www.senate.gov/~feinstein. Senate believes that Proposition 38 will undermine our state's efforts to financially and academically enhance our public schools." The CSU Board of Trustees and Student Association also oppose Prop. 38, according to a Chancellor's office report. Milwaukee mayor John Norquist has signed on as a supporter of Prop. 38 because a voucher program in his city is working very well. The Milwaukee voucher program, however, only applied to lowincome students in targeted illperforming school districts. Prop. 38 sets up a $4,000 state payments for students who already attend private schools. These payments would be phased in over a four-year period. With 650,000 students already in private schools, the only guaranteed outcome is a cost of $2.6 billion dollars to pay for their education. Additional costs or potential savings to the state are difficult to estimate, since they depend entirely on how many students opt for the vouchers. While the legislative analyst admits the number of participants is "impossible to predict," it does give some numbers based on various assumptions. First, the average cost per public schools student is placed at $7000. Therefore, each transfer to private school would result in a $3000 savings for the state. If five-percent, or 300,000 students move to private schools, the state will lose $2 billion eve?ry year. A 15-percent exodus would result in a savings of $700 million. If 1.5 million students transferred, that's 25 percent of all public school kids, California would save $3.4 billion. These numbers do not include expected administrative costs of about $10 million per year to run the voucher program. In addition to vouchers, the state legal analyst for the voter guide indicates that Prop. 38 "imposes significant new restrictions on the ability of government to adopt new laws and regulations affecting private schools." There are no minimum educational requirements for teachers in private schools. If money is any indication, the most important initiative voters will decide on is Proposition 38, the school voucher initiative. The number one supporter of Prop. 38 is the creator, Timothy Draper, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has spent over 18 million dollars of his own money on Prop. 38. Other proponents in the website's top ten are private investors except one—Parents for CA Future. The voucher initiative's biggest opponent is the California Teachers Association, followed y several other teacher's unions and the California Professional Firefighters. Dianne Feinstein: Democrat By: Jennifer Miller Pride Staff Writer has proposed legislation that would provide $1 billion each year in school grants to be used in construction to repair existing campuses, ending social promotion, funding remedial education and supporting merit pay for teachers. Courtesy of California Senate Web Site With the most votes cast for a Senator in American history, Dianne Feinstein was elected in 1992 and re-elected in 1994 to her first six-year term as Senator of California. Prop 37 » Con tin ue(Pfrom Pg 9 adequate learning, and it is time to give parents a choice in education. With open enrollment, magnet and charter schools, as well as home schooling as options, many would argue that public schools offer plenty of choices for parents seeking alternatives. To qualify as voucher schools, Prop. 38 requires the release of test scores to track the voucher students* progress. Furthermore, the private schools may not advocate any illegal behavior or discriminate based on race, ethnicity or nationality. Restricting admission based on other characteristics, however, such as gender, religion, and disability are allowed under the proposition, according to the state voter's guide. The state legislative analyst concluded that this ability to discriminately admit only lower-cost students may cause the proportion of students with special needs to increase in public schools, resulting in higher average per-student costs. For this and several other reasons, the CSUSM Academic Senate opposes Prop. 38.

Campbell, an ex-Stanford law professor, believes voters will find comfort in his moderate, compassionate conservative approach. "I am known as a maverick because I don't go along with the crowd," Campbell wrote in his campaign platform/Listed by Congress as a fairly moderate individual, who cares about health reform and the environment, Campbell campaigns on the same compassionate conservative philosophy as G.W. Bush. Campbell on his compassionate conservative style, states, "I believe in conservative fiscal policies and in compassionate social Tuesday, October 31,2006 11 Vote 2000: The Senatorial Candidates policies." Based on his voting record, Campbell has not deviated from his comments. According to the 1999-2000 voting record guide supplied by the U.S. Government, Campbell has voted for tax cuts, the balanced budget amendment and impeachment. The report does reveal Campbell's "maverick" character when discussing the McCain/Feingold Bill. Campbell, according to the report, was one of two Republican senators who supported the McCain/ Feingold Bill; a bill created to place harsher restrictions upon campaign fundraising. Abortion On the heated issue of abortion, Campbell reveals a truly compassionate approach, as he writes, "I have opposed any effort, whether through legislation or constitutional amendment, to eliminate the abortion rights guaranteed by Roe vs. Wade." Campbell believes the abortion issue remains a religious con- cern, not a governmental concern, yet insists, "the government provides medical help for men who are poor, Medicaid must also support funding for the medical conditions of poor women, including their right to choose." Campbell's abortion comments relate primarily to firsttrimester abortions; thus avoiding any partial-birth abortion debates. Campbell's record, however, shows he voted against a bill outlawing partial-birth abortions. Concerning the bill outlawing partial-birth abortions, Campbell writes, "when congressional legislation forbidding partial-birth abortion refused to allow for exceptional circumstances, I had no choice but to oppose it." Campbell voted "no" because he, "raised the question in debate as to why proponents of the bill, normally states' rights advocates, were advocating a federal law to pre-empt different states' reaching their own resolutions on this difficult issue." plans on putting a few initiatives programs and increase the number of required subjects in high into effect. school.

By: Steve Kerrin Pride Staff Writer Openly hostile to both the political left and right, the Popular Sentiment Party refuses to take a defined stance in national politics. Party Chair, Betty Lou Rawten-Krotch, states, "We usually take the most popular stance on tough issues. That way, in theory, we'll always win the elections." When asked why her party has never even held a seat in a local government, RawtenKrotch replied, "Damned if I know. It works for everyone else." The biggest obstacle facing the Popular Sentiment Party is that it has yet to be acknowledged by the media as more than a collective of disgruntled, boozed-up, would-be politicians. A Democratic senator who spoke on condition of anonymity stated, "They're just another cult, only with politics instead of religion. They're really just a bunch of whackos."

I've been clapping and singing songs of Africa, learning about the structure of DNA, contributing to group discussions about "our racial world view" and finally, writing papers using different forms of discourse: This is all not to mention interviewing for Orientation Team, attending writing workshops, and making frequent trips to the library. That's just what goes on while I'm physically at campus. In reality, everything I do revolves around my goal to teach. I coach volleyball part time and substitute in the school district to gain experience. I wake up and go either to school or to work all day. Throw in my religious responsibilities and family, and I find myself scrambling for time to pursue personal enrichment and keep up with current events. So what gets pushed aside? Left with little choice, I opt for the "A" in my courses, with the reward of a degree and a promise of more years wondering where the time went. BAVE AN OPINION? SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO in mind. If more specialized care is indicated, students are encouraged to seek those services at other community facilities Because our services are limited, it is in the best health interest of the student for us to make such referrals. We are unable to provide care for more serious injuries or conditions. In fact, it would ethically conflict with our mission of providing quality health care if we were to attempt to meet student needs without the appropriate resources. The professionals at Student Health Services recognize that money is an issue for many students. Because they have limited or no extra medical insurance, students may make decisions about additional care based on finances rather than need. There is an insurance plan available to students that covers major medical expenses. Information on this plan is available in the Associated Students, Inc. office, located at Commons 203, and at Student Health Services. We at Student Health Services are committed to your good health. If you have a health problem, the SHS is the best and the most affordable place to access basic care. Remember, there is no visit fee for regular visits at SHS.

Director of Student Health Services So as I sit feeling sorry for mySo many subjects are storming through my head, plowing into each other until ultimately I can't decipher one opinion from another. Am I getting so caught up in the monotonies of school that I have lost sight of the bigger picture? I enjoy going to school and I love all my classes, but will it ever end? Do we ever get a chance to remove the blinders? Maybe our professors can help us out a little. I remember a high school teacher who discussed current events for about five minutes at the beginning of class. I know we're not in high school anymore, but five minutes, that's not so hard. When I'm stuck in a classroom, I don't have a choice but to listen. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I alone? Regardless, I am vowing to get my butt off the psychoanalyst's couch and make a conscious effort to keep up to date on current events. Maybe in the process I'll feel more inclined to address the editor.

J " : ^ J J In 1960 The California State Legislature passed the Master Plan for Higher Education, which promised, among other things, " a space for every undergraduate student would be available; no tuition would be charged California residents; and students should be charged low fees, only for ' auxiliary services'." There is really no need, in a student newspaper, to observe that these goals have not been met. The question that arises is why this vision has not been realized and what, if any, budget priorities have taken precedent over higher education. An article from the Justice Policy Institute, entitled "From Classrooms to Cell Blocks: How Prison Building Affects Higher Education and African American Enrollment in California October 1996," provides a disturbing answer and some interesting and pertinent data. Using figures gathered by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, the article points out that California's prison budget has increased ten-fold since 1980.

Conveniently f or the prison industry, money drawn from higher education deprives more and more citizens of the facts and critical thinking skills that would enable them to see through the ruse the proponents of prison building have constructed. Confining large numbers of citizens serves perhaps an even darker purpose. In Brazil and Colombia, death squads summarily kill individuals who through poverty, mental illness, or drug addiction have become unable to function adequately in society. The prison industry has developed a somewhat less draconian and more economically expedient method of dealing with such people. The poor, the mentally ill, and drug addicts are warehoused in prisons where they serve as a source of revenue for correctional employees and contractors. Providing such individuals with treatment and employment opportunities would eliminate a lucrative income for many powerful interests. This article presumes to provide some of the education that the proponents of prison construction would seek to deprive from the" citizens of California.

(Why people would go on a tour led by a former mental patient is beyond me). Jeff takes the five people into the woods to see the place where the original Blair Witch Project was filmed and where the tapes were found. Whatever it is the group is trying to do is, again, beyond me. They are out in the woods where they drink and smoke and are merry, until they wake up. When the group wakes up, they find their camera gear is broken and their records are destroyed. Everything is gone except the tapes, conveniently placed in the same location as the original Blair Witch Project tapes were discovered. The group goes back to the mental patient's home (an abandoned warehouse with lots of stolen goods) to examine the tapes. T-shirts, sweatshirts, cups, rocks, and even sticks are many of the items that Jeff sells to his tourists. They find some very disturbing things on the tapes, to say the least. While they're reviewing the tapes, Tristen and Stephen hear voices and hallucinate. They all seem to be going out of their minds. Is it the work of the BlairWitch? Book of Shadows, Blair Witch 2 is directed by Joe Berlinger, who has succeeded in doing one thing, adding another reel to the pile of crap that Hollywood has put out this year. Blair Witch 2 Do Not Go Back Into the Woods By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer Whoever said, "sequels suck" was correct. A sequel is rarely better than the original and the newest film release, Blair Witch 2, is no exception. The film opens with various news clips about the success of the BlairWitch Project. Tourists have flocked to Burketsville, Maryland, in search of the Blair Witch and to see the location where the film was shot. The sheriff is seen shouting over a loud speaker, "There is no #@*&$*% Blair .Witch! Get out of these woods!" He is absolutely right. Forget all the preconceived notions you may have about this film. There is no book of shadows, there is no Blair Witch, there is nothing. This is exactly what this film amounts to, absolutely nothing. The basic premise of the film is about five people who go into the woods on a tour called the Blair Witch Hunt . The characters are Stephen, Tristen, Erica, Kim, and Jeff (played by Stephen Turner, Tristen Skyler, Erica Leerhsen, Kim Director, and Jeff Donovan). The tour guide, Jeff, is a young man The Pride CD Review: Radiohead's KID A ^ music.

By: Adam Bailey Pride Staff Writer The Ladies Man The Contender: Comes to the Big Screen By: Victoria B. Segall Pride Editor ' * "His approach is straightforward, it's honest," comments Tim Meadows about his most recent character, Leon Phelps, The Ladies Man. With the success of past films like Wayne's World and A Night at the Roxbury inspired by Saturday Night Live characters, The Ladies Man is SNL creator Lorne Michael's most recent production. In The Ladies Man, Tim Meadows plays Leon Phelps, a deejay on late night radio talk show. Phelps is charming and goodhearted, but a Casanova. Leon's countless affairs get him into trouble when a group of angry husbands, calling themselves the VSA (Victims of the Smiling A**, named after a tattoo found on Leon's right buttock), seek revenge. The Tim Meadows plays Leon Phelps VSA is led by Lance (played in The Ladies Man. by Will Ferrell of SNL) whose Photo courtesy of www.imdb.com. wife, Honey DeLune (played Tiffani Thiessen of Saved By Leon's sweet and innocent cothe Bell), is one of Leon's many worker Julie), and, Billy Dee Williams who plays* Lester the mistresses. The cast also includes Bartender and who serves as Karyn Parsons (who plays the film's narrator and voice of reason. With the film's bedroom scenes and Leon's on-air radio dirty talk, Leon Phelps is vulgar in this film, just as he is in his infamous SNL sketches. This movie also consists of dumb humor, and if you aren't a fan of SNL or The Ladies Man character, then this film is definitely not for you. On the other hand, those of you who are fans may enjoy the film. The Ladies Man can be categorized as a gross film, but never dull. With clieesy musical numbers—yes musical numbers—and surprise cameos, the audience is kept in suspense as to what to expect next. Meadows, (who co-wrote the screenplay), has some funny lines, however the end of the film is weak and predictable. The funk and soul-filled soundtrack is excellent; featured tracks include A1 Green's Let's Stay Together, the Isley Brothers' That Lady, and other tracks from artists such as Roberta Flacky Johnny Gill and Chaka Khan. The Ladies Man is rated-R and is now playing in theatres. A weii-Timed Political Thriller By: J. Ryan Sandahl Pride Staff Writer nominated. What does Runyon do?

Being an admirer of all things Zappa (especially Moon Unit), I jumped at the opportunity to listen to Keneally's latest CD. The CD titled "Dancing," released off Keneally's own label, Exowax, is a two-CD set containing 35-songs, all of which are worth checking out. Likened to Neil Young or Dave Matthews, Mike Keneally and his eight-piece band Beer for Dolphins have an awesome sound that is acoustically mellow, trancy, in your face electric and raw. The first disc contains studio versions of "Live in Japan" and "Ankle Bracelet" (tracks one and two), which are all being pushed on local radio. I wasn't a big fan of either of those songs, but luckily enough the album took a turn and the next 18 songs were offthe-hook. My favorite song on the first disc is track 5, "We'll Be Right Back," which through its acoustic Tuesday, October 31,2000 1 5 Guitar virtuoso Mike Keneally and his band, Beer for Dolphins, released their newest CD entitled "Dancing:" Photo by Mike Martin. ~ rhythm and intelligent lyrics reminded me of heady music from bands like Folk Implosion and Buffalo Springfield. The second disc is 15 tracks of live and acoustic renditions of many of Keneally and Beer for Dolphins' new songs as well as bar chat and ad-lib. My favorite piece on the B-side disc has no title (to my knowledge) but I will refer to it as "The Bee Sting Song." It's a funny little ditty that made me laugh and reminded me of tracks from performers like Beck (preMellow Gold) and Basehead. All in all, this CD is a must buy. Don't burn it from a friend because Mike is a local guy and you wouldn't want to see him begging for change at Beacons because you were too cheap to fork out 13 bones for the cause.

T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 w ww.csusm.edu/pride/ VOL.X NO.X CSUSM Celebrates Eighth Día de los actor, Pedro Infante. The altar was beautifully decorated with a guitar, tequila bottle, and "pan de muerto," or bread of the dead, which is used ceremonially. It is believed that biting into skullshaped candy hidden inside the bread will bring good luck. Upon being asked which one of the team members slaved over a hot oven and baked the "pan de muerto," humanities student Efrain Carrillo replied, "One of the guys in the group bought it." By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer In the Americas about 3,000 years ago, many indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs, celebrated the dead by having month-long festivities in the hopes that the dead would return and pay them a short visit. For CSUSM that day was last Tuesday at Palm Court with the main celebration from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although the sacrificing of virgins did not take place, celebrations took place with Veracruzan music, courtesy of the band "Suaveson," and the setting up of altars in honor of great people from the past. Although many students forced into volunteering time by a requirement of humanities classes, many were their their also Cathy Nguyen, Student Health Services Health Educator, along with Cathy Gremett, Student Health Services Medical Receptionist, and Tim Bills, Assistant Altars are erected on Dia de los Muertos in remembrance of Dean of Students, built an alter the dead.

As of today there are 2,947 people confirmed dead, 27 reported dead, and 25 reported missing, which brings the total to 2,999 people." Their alter displayed a model of the twin towers, a fireman's cap, and a binder which had a list, consisting of many pages, of the victims. Although the majority of people in today's society mourns death and sees it as a bad thing, the Aztecs saw it as part of life and it was celebrated. The Day of the Dead, which is one of the longest celebrated rituals in the Americas, was originally celebrated at the end of July and beginning of August by the Aztecs and other MesoAmerican civilizations between 500 and 3,000 years ago. Before the Spanish Conquistadors landed in modern-day Mexico, See M A, page 2 P resident G onzalez A ccepts R esponsibility f or M B A P roblems By GAIL TARANTINO Pride Staff Writer In a news release dated Oct. 17, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez accepted responsibility for the administrative problems that resulted in MBA program irregularities between 1995 and February 2001. Gonzalez said the problems were, "a collective action over time, but eventually the buck has to stop somewhere. Since I'm president it stops in my office." The problems were first made public in a Chancellor's Office audit this past July. The chancellor's audit charged that by combining state and private funds the CSUSM MBA program was in violation of CSU policy. According to Gonzalez, "the institution has to shoulder some responsibility for inadequate management" and "while there were procedures and practices that were violated by faculty and by administrators, it was an administrative error that allowed the program to develop as it did." In response to the chancellor's audit findings, Gonzalez appointed an internal investigation committee to investigate the audit's charges and to report back to him with their recommendations. The committee members were: Marion Reid (Chair), Jacqueline Borin, Silverio Haro, Bud Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. silliness." limit the autonomy of the college, who failed to exercise adequate but we feel that it is warranted in oversight no longer hold their administrative post or have left The committee reported that the current situation." the university." they agreed with the audit's recommendations and that "[they Gonzalez said that the breakwere] pleased with the character down in the program's system of In same North County Times of the University's responses checks and balances happened on article, Jack Leu, an MBA proto date."

By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest for its students last Thursday in Founder's Plaza from 12: 00-1:00 p.m. "For most of the students, this will be their first time celebrating Halloween in the United States," said ALCI Student Services Coordinator Dulce Dorado.

This meeting took place on Thursday, Oct. 27th at 6:30 p.m. Larry Olsen, Event Coordinator of the Friends, offered his knowledge on overdevelopment of the ridgeline. Dr. Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, Cal State San Marcos' Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, spoke of her expertise in sustain^ able development. Incumbents and their opposition voiced campaign promises about visions of the future of San Marcos, and people of San Marcos came together in order to voice their opinions concerning matters of development. Olsen began the meeting with the agenda of opening remarks about the future of the ridgeline above Cal State San Marcos. The concerns expressed an emphatic urgency to curb the destruction of a natural piece of the community environment. The goals of the Friends is to establish awareness about decisive planning , issues, as well as to implement and increase natural areas for the community of San Marcos and to expand unity within a structurally developing community. Another goal is to establish a community that promotes healthy, sustainable growth, while maintaining a strong economy that contributes to an enjoyable "livability" in San Marcos, The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas understand the complexities about the smart growth of a community. Olsen expressed that smart growth is vital to the overall development of a growing city. He also implied that fast growth would endanger the native habitat of ridgeline. The proposition of a 150-acre golf course angers many citizens who are concerned with the calculated development of San Marcos' nature preserves. Previously, the community developed a long-standing plan to build -Griffith Jenkins Griffith, Park Commission, civic philanthropist, advocate of parklands, and fervent speaker of recreation for the health of Los Angeles." equity within the approach of a sustainable environment. She described the positive equity San Marcos obtained by sustaining and building a university. Double Peak boasts a moderate 5-mile terrain above Cal State San Marcos suitable for all forms of outdoor activity with an elevation gain of 1000 feet. The environment poses a spectacular view of surrounding North County and is the second highest peak in San Marcos.

Olsen's concerns grew as San Elijo Hills applied for a Conditional Use permit in order to construct a professional golf course. Construction of a golf course would eliminate the prospect of Double Peak Regional Park. The design of Double Peaks Park would include numerous trails, a substantial park for the community, open fields, nature sits and possibly an area to include entertainment venues. The Town Hall meeting proceeded to construct a vision of San Marcos by allowing candidates to speak about their views. Some candidates chose to speak about other issues concerning their campaigns. Candidate's promised to improve the future of San Marcos. San Marcos citizens and students remain key elements of smart growth. Citizens are the reason for the creation of nature preserves. San Marcos needs development with the implemental understanding of the environment, economics and equity. Knowles-Yanez said, "[you are] not born a citizen, you learn how to become a citizen...

Moore's attempt to connect the area's largest employer and the number one weapons manufacturer in the United States, Lockheed Martin, with the violent condition is pure irony at its best. It is also coincidental that the day of the Columbine killings was also the largest single-day barrage of American-financed bombs raining down on Kosovo. By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer This movie is a must see for everyone. Bowling for Columbine is a documentary that takes a provocative look at guns and violence in America. It looks inside the minds of America and asks the question, "why?" I highly recommend that everyone see this movie, as it affects moviegoers and makes them above all THINK! Due to the complexity of the documentary, viewers may find themselves thinking about something totally different than the person sitting next to them. Startling facts were presented in this film regarding the following countries reporting their annual death tolls by gunfire being: Germany (381), France (255), Canada (165), the United Kingdom (68), Australia (65), Japan (39), and the USA leading the group by reporting a shocking 11,127 people. Another notable fact is that there are 10 million families in Canada, 7 million guns owned, and yet it has one of the lowest death rates caused by guns. Bowling for Columbine opened October 18th at Landmark theaters in Hillcrest and struck a chord within millions of people, beginning at opening night. This film offers satire, thoughtprovoking statements, and it is also a film that will not please everyone. Filmmaker Michael Moore is an investigative reporter, who presents, his findings through documentaries. He is credited with making pragmatic films such as Roger and Me, The Big One, and now, Bowling for Columbine, where he examines the social paradigms inherent in different sects of society. His directing tactics have been labeled as guerrillafilmmaking,because he does not censor his convictions or attempt to hide the truth from his audiences. CSUSM student Phuong Nguyen, a Communications major, commented on Michael Moore, saying, "Mike's smart, f un, witty, and whimsical. He has the uncanny ability to present issues relevant to all Americans in a way that doesn't alienate them."

CSUSM student Nguyen also said, "I was really frightened by the fact that we have such an obsession with guns and how easy it is for us to access them in America. I didn't want to piss off anyone in the theater for fear that they would pull out a gun and point it at me. I want to move to Canada!" This film is definitely a controversial look into America's fixation with fear, violence, and guns. It will make some people angry. The main messages that Moore attempts to share is that the 2nd Amendment of the "right to bear arms," does not mean that we have the right to use them on others. It conveyed an observation that Americans tend to rely on themselves to resolve conflicts instead of the government. He also suggests that fear, enhanced by the media's obsession with death and violent crime, may be the root cause of America's death-by-gun problem. Whether you agree with the director's conclusions after seeing this film isn't the issue - it is that you recognize the problem. This documented investigation surely will encourage people to really think about tough issues that America faces during this day in age. Go see this film with others, because you will want someone with whom to discuss this film, right alter you see it. Seeing the film should be mandatory for Americans. When interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival, Moore stated, "I thought it would be interesting to take a journey through this culture of fear. Most journalism does | be who, what, when; where, andhow questions, but very few people in the media a& why does this happen! Why do we have 250 million guns in our homes especially when thei^'s been a huge decrease in crime?" �Radical Approach to Self-Defense By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Students who have taken the R.A.D. more than once say that it only gets better with time. Malorie Acevedo, 14, has taken R. A.D. classes since the age of 9 and delights in the fact that "there is always something new." On a dark and stormy night, a stranger approaches his victim in an alleyway. A struggle ensues but the woman being attacked successfully defends herself and manages to safely escape. This woman, along with thousands of other women nationwide, was ready to defend herself thanks to R.A.D. Patti Kinney, a CSUSM employee for Student Residential Life, has taken the R.A.D. class and was very satisfied with what she learned. "I leave each class session feeling excited; I give this course 100%++! I am so happy with what I have learned so far that I plan on continuing the R.A.D. training to the advanced level," she commented. R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) was developed by Larry Nadeau in 1989. To ensure that women of all ages would be capable of performing these methods, he tested all techniques on his mother perform prior to holding classes. Once he was sure that they worked, he compiled them into a 50-page self-defense handbook, which is used widely in classes today. R.A.D. students during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. This 12-hour basic self-defense course offers women instruction and practice in ways to fend off an attacker without the use of weapons, according to CSUSM R.A.D. instructor, Barbara Sainz. "This class shows you the more practical side of life; you will enjoy it, but you will also walk away with the skills needed to survive an attack," she added. It is now available at over 400 universities nationwide and is instructed by a select few law enforcement officers who are specially trained to teach these defense techniques. Sainz is one of three volunteers who teach the CSUSM R.A.D. class, along with her husband, Mario Sainz and Marlon Estepa, both CSUSM police officers. All three instructors freely give much of their time and efforts to educate women - young and old alike - in the art of self-defense. "Our goal is to teach realistic techniques to empower women," added Officer Sainz. When the instructors were asked why they enjoy doing this, Sainz remarked, "We love it Life Director, Bridget Blanshan, because we get to meet wonder- has been a R.A.D. enthusiast, as ful people." well as an instructor, for years.

Kinney was so satisfied with the training she received in the R.A.D. class that she plans to join the newest club on campus, C.A.S.A. Founded by CSUSM student, Carey Moya, This club was established to encourage more female students to join in on protecting themselves. C.A.S.A. is an acronym for Cougars Active Self-Defense Association, which is scheduled to start weekly club meetings on campus in ACD 301 beginning Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. This CSUSM club will encourage women to defend themselves and promote the usage of safety techniques. The next scheduled R.A.D. classes begin in early November. Due to lack of space on campus, CSUSM's R.A.D. classes are presently offered across the 78 freeway at the Regional Emergency Training Center in San Marcos. The cost for lifetime training is $20, which goes to fund maintenance of equipment and training materials. For more information on R.A.D. classes, visit: www.csusm.edu/rad/ or call 760-750-4567. For more information on C.A.S.A., visit www.geocities.com/csusmcasa/ or call 760-747-8960. Due to the intense nature of the simulation exercise, students are debriefed and given a wellness check before being allowed to leave. The debriefing period is also used to point out to students how well they did, and to cheer for their performance and enhanced skills. After attending the October R.A.D. classes, Kit-Bacon Gressitt, 45, commented, "This class is incredibly helpful in teaching self-defense tactics. This is the first step; I feel more confident in myself, and I would like to do it again." R.A.D. students applying the techniques learned during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. CSUSM Student Residential S Y S T E M S �" Latinologues" l lega a S an D iego Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal La obra de teatro "Latino logues" llega a San Diego. En su primer día de estreno, el viernes nov. 25, los actores latinos Rick Nájera, René Lavan y Lina Acosta recibieron una ovación de pie al final de dicha presentación. Najera es nativo de San Diego, Lavan es cubano y Acosta es colombiana creando así un mosaico latino. "Latinologues" es una obra cómica de teatro donde los actores usan las experiencias de los latinos en los Estados Unidos para crear una noche de entretenimiento total. Los actores representan a personajes de diferentes países latinos y recrean las vidas de ellos en Estados Unidos en diferentes escenas. Estas escenas son en mayor parte monólogos con algunas excepciones en donde más de un actor actúa. La comedia tiene alrededor de 10 monólogos y dura un poco menos de dos horas. Algunos de los temas representados en la obra incluyen la inmigración de los latinos a EE.UU. y sus experiencias con "la migra", al igual que la versión del pasaje P I C o m e d y W i t h o u t B orders Courtesy Illustration / The Pride de la Biblia donde Moisés es conLos actores hacen un excelente siderado el líder del pueblo judío, trabajo al representar sus perque en este caso es el "Mexican sonajes tan humorísticamente y Moses" interpretado por Nájera. en la mayoría de los casos tan El popular y controversial realísticamente.

Cabe destacar que además de haber escrito esta comedia, de dirigirla y estelarizarla, Nájera tiene una calidad humorística innata ya que su interpretación no es solamente excelente pero es súper divertida. Nájera escribió que no hay una experiencia latina como no hay una experiencia americana. Él escribió que en ningún otro lugar la experiencia latina es más relevante que en San Diego y que un solo monólogo no puede contar la historia de la experiencia latina. "Entretenimiento es mi primer prioridad para una audiencia," dijo Nájera. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que algunos de los personajes femeninos interpretados por Acosta son muy estereotípicos. Este es el caso de las jóvenes embarazadas a temprana edad, al igual que la presentación de las latinas como personas pasionales representadas en un monólogo. Desafortunadamente, como lo demuestran las estadísticas, el caso de las adolescentes embarazadas es la triste realidad, ya que hay muchas latinas jóvenes en esta situación, pero en el caso de la ardiente mujer latina no deja de ser estereotípico y muy machista ya que no todas las latinas son tan sensuales.

La gran parte del guión es en inglés; sin embargo, los actores usan palabras en español desde el principio hasta el final de la obra. Sin el sabor y significado de estas palabras, definitivamente la obra no sería igual de divertida y mucho menos realista. La luz y el sonido tanto como la escenografía son de buen gusto. Las paredes móviles permiten que el escenario se ajuste a la escena; el piso es una representación del calendario azteca; y el vestuario es una buena representación de los personajes y va de acuerdo con lo satírico y en ocasiones exagerado de la obra. Además, hay una pequeña pantalla que refleja fotos e información de la siguiente escena a la audiencia. "Latinologues" sé ha presentado en toda la nación en varias formas. La comedia también tuvo una presentación especial donde más actores latinos participaron y los fondos recaudados en esta presentación serán donados a Project Concern International, que es una organización de beneficencia dedicada a proveer el tan necesitado cuidado de salud a los niños de Tijuana y San Diego. Este fue el caso de la presentación del 26 de octubre donde Jacob Vargas, de la película Trafile; el actor venezolano Fernando Carrillo, de la telenovela mexicana Rosalinda; Roselyn Sánchez, d eRushHour2 y otros actores latinos participaron. Recuerden que hay que apoyar al verdadero talento latino. Así que si tienen la oportunidad de asistir a esta comedia, no dejen de hacerlo. La comedia estará en San Diego hasta el domingo 24 de noviembre en el Teatro Lyceum del San Diego Repertory Theatre localizado en Downtown San Diego en Horton Plaza.

We visited all the local hot spots like "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball," Club " Curve" "Studio 54," and the after-hours club, "Seven." In actuality, Anderson was my friend Theresa, and Rock was her boyfriend, Mike, but after putting back a couple of drinks at the table, Vegas vacationers couldn't tell the difference. And we didn't t ell Angels, S&M lovers, and monsters. One man had a costume completely made out of peacock feathers glued directly to his body. One of the girls had a costume made in a similar fashion with rose petals. Another beautiful and daring woman had a costume that was made out of "CAUTION" tape wrapped around lier three times in thé right spots to cover what she had to. Some of the more a m u sin g couples were a Priest and an altar boy, Pebbles and Bam-Bam all grown up, and Adam and Eve. "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball" is an annual party held on the last Saturday before Halloween. The party calls for scantily dressed females and monstrous males to dress in the most exotic I went as Little Red Riding clothes they can find and attend a Hood, but my costume failed costume party in the Las Vegas in comparison to these really Sports Arena. fabulous get-ups.

Drinks at this club were about $9 a piece, reasonable for Vegas, and so we stayed and danced for a few hours. By 3 am the club was emptying out and so we went to the after-hours club, Seven.

The Go-Go Dancing Girls and Boys on pedestals i n the club were great dancers and very attractive. The music was a mix of top forty and old school from the seventies and eighties. About every hour they had a performer twirling down from the ceiling, or something like bubbles falling from above. The club was three levels with two large dance floors and plenty of sitting room, VIP or not. Drinks were $9-10 dollars a piece but the bartenders do buybacks if you tip them. The club is open from 104 but was mostly empty by 3 am when we left. Halloween in Vegas is definitely a great time, but book far in advance, otherwise the rooms and the airfare can be a bit pricey.

She shows a typical lack of understanding of both the history and mechanics of prejudice and discrimination in America and twists the usage of words out of their historical context. On the one hand, she says ethnic literature pieces should be included in American Literature and not put into sepa- rate courses. On the other, she ignores the pervasive belief by Whites that they are not raced and that "ethnicity" is reserved for people of color. While she is correct that those of British and other European origins are also "ethnic", this is not how this term is used by the vast majority of White Americans. To imply that putting ethnic literature in a separate course is "asinine" reflects her underlying attitudes and beliefs and ignorance of past struggles to incorporate them in traditional American Literature classes.

In keeping with Ms. Sarabia's previously published and herein quoted article, The Pride is obligated to publish articles and/or letters in languages other than English. Let's truly celebrate diversity! it clear to me that many parents and teachers from the dominant group in our society (e.g., those of European descent or "White ethnics" in Ms. Reed's terms) continually resist attempts to broaden the American Literature curriculum to include the works of so-called "non-traditional" (read People of Color) authors in a majority of the middle and high schools and many colleges across America. The scarcity of truly "American" (as Ms. Reed puts it) Literature and History courses has resulted in the creation of Ethnic Studies Programs across America, because people of color often had no other avenues to achieve these goals. drawing attention to certain ethnicities at the expense of others ("discrimination" she calls it), this assumes that the dominant European culture would pay much attention to these "ethnicities" if this were not done. The history of the struggles for such reform in the past has demonstrated how difficult it is. The day it will be possible to have truly "American" literature classes throughout the land without the need for separate multiethnic classes will be a major milestone, but it is not at all clear that we have reached that point. It is sad and disheartening to see people, who apparently know little about the Civil Rights Era and what it meant to people at that time, turn the language of this important period against the very people íwho have been seeking equal opportunity for all in America (e.g,"the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal." ). My experiences as an educator involved in cultural and race relations both inside and outside the United States (e.g., Peace Corps teacher in Africa, director of student exchange programs, chair of the multicultural committee at Palomar College, ombudsman for the Poway Unified School District) have made Sincerely, Rebecca Lagger Junior Philip de Barros Adjunct Professor CSUSM If Ms. Reed believes that one is Take the Class!

Actually, I bet most of you who are reading this article have not seen these movies, if any of them. Why is that? Is it that most o f these movies have almost a complete black cast? Is it that promotion of these movies was inadequate? Or could it be that these movies were targeted for a specific audience? Or could it be that most of these movies make E schew O bfuscation Eschew - To avoid; shun Obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; for instance: "A great effort was made to obfuscate the truth." Travis Olp's recent articles in The Pride regarding the Progressive Activists Network's (PAN) recent War Forum were misrepresentative and misleading. The point of this forum was to give student? a chance to hear a side of the discourse regarding the proposed war on Iraq that is typically obscured by our national media. The two articles, a "news" piece entitled, "PAN Hosts War Forum" and White America take an introspective look about the past and the present of how Blacks have been mistreated and are continually mistreated on a more covert level. And, yet no one wants to take any responsibility. What paints an even clearer picture is when you take a look around the movie theaters and see who attends a movie such as the recently released comedy Barber Shop, or the overlooked shocking epic of a whole town being burned to ashes in the movie "Rosewood". From my own observation more times than not it is more probable to see a more diverse group of people in the theater where blacks are portrayed in comical situations than in dramatic social conscious roles. It is much easier viewing a film where black actors are making f un of themselves or cracking jokes about each others mama than to watch the innocent be wrongly accused, discriminated against, beaten, and/or killed. Anytime we go see a movie we would love to walk out of a movie feeling light-hearted happy and giddy, but life isn't that way and never has been. To explore this further, did you ever stop to think why Halle Berry and Denzil Washington with their long list of credits, accolades, and in depth his opinion piece entitled, "War Panel Way Too Subjective" were both replete with symptoms of a larger problem inherent in both The Pride and mainstream media in general. The problem is that contemporary "news" coverage in our society has become little more than a collection of sound bytes with typically very little explanation of the sound bytes. When there is explanation given, it's usually as brief and lacking in substance as the sound byte that was given. Contemporary media is not entirely to blame for this problem: As consumers of this "news", we validate this shoddy reporting every time we see stories like those written by Olp and his national media counterparts when we don't speak up, clarify their misrepresentations, and demand substantiate this quote, "..innate that they do a better job. nature of contention." Innate nature is redundant, "[quoting Here are some quotes from panelist Prof. Seleski] The right Olp's articles that are either false, has to understand it is not the misrepresentative, or examples of '30's. The left has to understand it shoddy reporting: "...Erick Roper is not the '60's." Olp assumes we gave...concise dissertations..." all know what she meant, "..the Concise dissertation, is an forum was not open whatsoever." oxymoron; if _ "They [students] never you aren't sure L , t , l l U K d had a chance to ask how to spell someone's name, questions, either." FALSE. PAN ask someone who does. "His President Manal Yamout, more [panelist Dick Eiden] passionate than once told the audience if and liberal beliefs came blazing they wanted to ask questions that through..." What is meant by, they could step up to the mic, "liberal beliefs"? Are we to which a couple students, most assume everyone defines that the notably a Canadian student, did. same? " 'If the government tells "I was not able to collect so much the truth, it is a coincidence', as a single quote from a member said Eiden." Olp doesn't see fit of the listeners." Don't blame to tell his readers even one of PAN for your inadequacies as a the many examples Eiden gave to reporter Olp. character portrayals, why each of them finally won an Oscar for portraying some of the most life, troubled, shady, trashy, characters in their careers? Hundreds of movies are released each year, but what is more interesting is to recognize which and what films get the most publicity and who goes to see them. I cannot force a person to watch and pay for something they refuse to deal with or refuse to believe exists. In our media driven society, we have been programmed to think that if a situation or a problem has no direct effect on me, then I don't have to deal with it. But I am making you think about why you have overlooked these films and what your rational or more importantly your excuse was for not seeing them. I challenge you to come out from your comfort zone for just one evening and see one of the films that I mentioned regardless of how uncomfortable or squeamish they may make you feel. If you have a hard time watching these films and are left wondering how could anyone have endured such injustice, then most likely you got the point of the movie. Olp got one thing right, "..it [the forum] was an avenue for PAN to push their agenda.." One item on that agenda is to expose students to perspectives they are not normally exposed to.
