Lorena Barraza, CSUSM student,
daughter, sister, friend, community activist. According to North County Times,
fellow student, Lorena, was lost in a fatal
collision on April 21, 2007. Saturday
shortly after midnight, she was driving
with a male friend whose name was not
released, west on the 76 highway during
the recent rain storm. Barraza's Toyota

Early Learning
Center's future
questioned
BY AMANDA RUTHERFORD
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM's Early Learning Center has
provided help for the moms and dads
on campus for nearly three years and in
the fall, the Early Learning Center will
move into a new facility, The Center
for Children and Families.
The ELC was made to fit the needs
of children and their parents who are
struggling to get along with college life
and a family. The ELC offers a place
for volunteer students to work and to
become close to the children and their
families. But now the bonds that have
been made between the employees
and children and their families might
be broken. Since the Early Learning
Center is moving into its new building,
the current working staff has not been
guaranteed a job at the Center for Children and Families.
The Center for Children and Families will open early 2007. The center
was funded on tax revenue that came
from tobacco smokers which was
approved by the First 5 Commission.
The Center for Children and Families
is licensed to serve 190 children from
infants to pre-kindergartners. The total
number of families served is expected
to be 300. Programs will focus on preparing children for success in many
areas of school including: parent education, language, speech and literacy
development.
Mosetta Rodrigues, an employee of
the ELC, said that the center will not
be run by ASI any longer, but it will
be run by the university instead. "The
ELC is separate from the organizations
on campus," Rodrigues said. "None of
the workers are students here with the
exception of three paid student assistants. The foundation will oversee the
running for children and families. The
ELC will no longer be existing; the
new place will be subsidized by funding and run by the Cal State."
Rodrigues added, "We are not guaranteed our jobs. We are given a proSee E.L.C., page 3

head on collision. Barraza and her passenger were pronounced dead on the scene.
According to Celia Martinez, Barraza held a teller position with Bank of
America, majored in accounting, and was,
"Deeply involved with the campus community. In 2005-2006 she held the position
of MEChA Vice President." Barraza was
involved with this year's MEChA High
School Conference, and in previous years
the Cesar E. Chavez Celebration, Raza
Recognition, and other fundraisers. Martinez stated, "She currently had plans with

the time willing to volunteer her time not
only with MEChA, but also with other
organizations on campus."
On Thurs. April 26, students held a candlelight vigil in her memory. The legacy
of Lorena's community and volunteer
work survives in the hearts of her friends
in CSUSM's MEChA. Angie Alvarado,
MEChA president, shared, "She made

nationally known speaker Rev. Dr.
Jamie Washington visited CSUSM
on Tues. April 24 and held a discussion with students titled, Who am
I? Isms, Identities and Inequities.
As a trainer and consultant on mul-
ticulturalism, Rev. Dr. Washington aided students in realizing the
dynamics of having multiple social
identities and why it is important to
be aware of those identities.
Just before Bridget Blanshan,
the Dean of Students, introduced
Rev. Dr. Washington, she said,

BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students Inc. is looking
to build another branch of services for
CSUSM students. By the fall of 2008, ASI
hopes to complete the construction of the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer
Intersex and Ally Center. The center is
still in its early stages, but with a recently
appointed committee, ASI will examine
the LGBTQIA centers on other campuses
and look to other models for CSUSM's
center.
Former ASI President, Roy Lee said,
"It has always been a goal for this university to have this center. Whether it be
University operated or ASI, the intent, to
my knowledge has always been there. As
ASI has grown, questions about the third
center being started, seeing as the Women's Center and Cross Cultural Center
have been established, the goal for this
center's construction and formation began.
The ASI BOD has voted unanimously
to research and strategically open the
LGBTQIA Center by 2008." .
ASI Arts and Sciences Representative,
Joshua Lovelace .and Bryce Manning,
President of LGBTA, have been appointed
as the co-chairs for the LGBTQIA Center
planning committee. "Our job is to create
a proposal for the ASI Board of Directors
to review and approve," Lovelace said.
"This coming Friday w6 are planning to
have a brainstorming session. All students
are welcome. We will discuss ideas for a
mission statement, programming etc. on
May 4 and go from there."

in your world and you will have
something that 84% of the rest of
the population does not have, and
that's just the United States, if we
go beyond the U. S., it's even a
smaller percentage, so I want you
to get clear of not only the privilege but of the responsibility you
have."
Rev. Dr. Washington asked
each student to partner up with
someone he or she did not know.
Each student then discussed in
partners, how they felt about
difference and real conversation about diversity. Rev. Dr.
Washington discussed the terms
authenticity and honesty and
expressed his hope for students
to engage in authentic conversation. "Because we all know that
we can be honest, without being
authentic," he said. When Rev.
Dr. Washington asked the crowd
what the students' hopes for the
evening were, one student said, "I
just hope that we don't have to all
come together in order for us to
open our eyes to say that we need
this. Why do we have to come
together? Why can't we just do
this on our own? Why do we have
to come together and say, 'Oh?
Yeah, huh.' We should already be
doing this."
During the next part of the evening, Rev. Dr. Washington asked
students to examine the dynamics
of his or her own existence.
"What does it mean when there's
a woman CEO or a woman vice
president where there's never been
a woman vice president and now
all the people who report to her
are men? What does that mean?
What are the dynamics that show
up when that's the difference?"
Rev. Dr. Washington asked.
When speaking on race, Rev.
Dr. Washington said, "How many
folks have ever had a conversation with somebody who didn't
want to have it? Does that need
for that conversation go away?
I have been saying in sessions,
we've been talking about talking about race for fifty years but
we've not had a real conversation
about it."
In groups of four, students sat in
chairs, knee to knee and engaged
in conversation with students they
had never met prior to the evening. Each student was given five
minutes to identify his or herself
through: race, religion, nationality, orientation, ability, gender,
class and age. Next, each student
answered questions stating what
category he or she was most conscious of and why. Students also
had to tell their peers of a time
when he or she treated others less
than- because of who they were.
Some students found that they
could relate to each other in more
than one way.
Once the session finished,
Rev. Dr. Washington divided the
room into two sections. Students
sat in rows of chairs, facing
each other. Rev. Dr. Washington
paced back and forth down the
middle and told students that if
they felt comfortable, he or she
could stand when he asked questions students found to be true to
him or her, but students were not
allowed to speak. In the act of
standing up, Rev. Dr. Washington said that by answering to the
questions asked, each student
would be a representative of a
particular group.
With some humor, Rev. Dr.
Washington shared with the students, "When they see me, they
see big black man. One word.
Bigblackman. They say, 'Oh! bigblackman!' They say, 'stay far
away.' Now I can't control any of
that. But it does matter that I know
that."
Rev. Dr. Washington proceeded, "If you are a first generation college student, please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said.
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." At this, each student
who stood, scanned the room, and
each student who sat, looked up.
"If you ever feared for your safety
because of your gender please
stand," Rev. Dr. Washington said,
"Notice who's with you. Notice
who's not." Most of the women
in the room stood, and most men
sat looking up. Some questions
spurred more emotional responses
than others.
From the experience as a whole,
Freshman Bill Rhein said that
he would "not take anything for
granted anymore." Junior Angela
Stubbs, said, "I can't understand
why everyone couldn't attend and
students had to R.S.V.P? You only
find this stuff in college. It's symbolic of what our country feels
about it. People are talking about
it, but they're not really talking
about it."
The event was co-sponsored by
Advisor Academy and Student
Affairs Professional Development
Team and included representatives
of Student Development Services,
ASI and University Village.

fortune of being on a diverse
campus. We have the amazing
good fortune of being in a room
with folks who don't look like us,
who do look like us, who think
like us and who don't think like
us. Who come from cultures and
histories and families and communities that are like ours and
they're not like ours, and that's
an amazing world to be in. It's
the world that we're in, but often
we actually don't look at each
other and say, I see you, I hear
you, and let's learn from each
other. You all, are the future.
You're my hope. You're why I do
what I do. You have an amazing
ability to shape the future. And
to shape it in a way that sees difference, embraces difference,
and works together in a way that
we actually create communities
where we see and respect each
other." This, Blanshan said, was
the reason why each person gathered for an evening with Rev. Dr.
Jaime Washington.
Rev. Dr. Washington began the
evening's conversation by speaking on leadership. "Much of the
change that has happened around
the world has been done by folks
who look like you. Student leaders. On college campuses, and in
the world. No major social change
movement has ever happened
without your influence and your
power. I want you to recognize the
importance of your role as student
leaders today."
When Rev. Dr. Washington told
students that only 16% of citizens
in the United States have advanced
degrees, he said, "You will go out
for the community."
Like most 21 year old college
students, Lorena's Myspace is
filled with pictures, and personal
phrases describing herself. Currently, her Myspace page is filled
with postings by friends expressing loss, condolences, and grief.
Lorena had just celebrated her
21st birthday on April 6 .
Celia Martinez shared, "She
managed to fit in with everyone even though she was doing
her own thing and being herself.
She did not need to pretend to be
someone else to feel that shefitin.
She just did. Although she is gone,
those of us who knew her and
cared about her can still hear her
distinctive voice, laughter in the
air. It is still impossible to accept
that we will no longer see her walking towards us on campus, or that
we will no longer get those silly
text messages from her when she
thought about us. She reminded
all of us...about some important
lessons, to take time and appreciate friendships and to remind
people of how much they mean to
us because you never know when
it will be the last time you get to
give them a hug or tell them that
you love them. We were all given
the opportunity to see her one last
time the week before she left us,
yet none of us knew it would be
the last."
An account has been opened
for the family of Barraza at
Bank of America in Redhawk
in Temecula. For information

posal written up for an independent

The current staff gets first interviews and current kids automatically
taken."
Samara White, a current senior at
CSUSM majoring in Visual and Performing Arts, said that since working with the kids and families at the
ELC, she has created bonds with all of
them. "Professors send kids here and
are very pleased with what we have
going on. We really teach the kids,"
White said.
When the ELC moves, it will have
a great impact on the teachers who
work at the ELC because they have
gained close bonds with the children.
White added, "The teachers go out
of their way to be here and do things
for the kids. They [the directors in
charge] have not asked what we need
for the center. It's distressing that
they ignored us in the vision for the
new center. It's inexcusable. The kids
are being transferred up there. The
parents don't know anyone up there.
How can parents trust people they
don't know anything about with their
kids? It's a disappointment. You'd
think as a Cal State they would want
people experienced, who have been
here. Some teachers feel forgotten. As
a student I'm disappointed with how
they neglected staff here. Staff has
always had open dialogue with the
directors. They have never given us a
meeting with them or shown up at our
events."
A meeting regarding the ELC and
the future of its employees will take
place on Tues. May 1 at 5 p.m. at the
ELC.

hand. Kite enthusiasts stretch out the
string, mold it with glass, and sand it
down with sandpaper to smooth it out.
When the kites are soaring in the sky
they can reach up to three miles high.
There are tricks for dipping and wrapping around the opponents' kites in
hopes of snapping their string, retrieving their kite, and achieving ultimate
bragging rights. Kabir explained that
he could wear gloves for kite fighting, but that it ruins all the pleasurefull satisfaction from the sport. As
Kabir demonstrated the sharpness of
the string, he stated, "These cuts and
stitches are from this. Sometimes my
hand is bleeding all over. It [the string]
is sharp, but strong at the same time."
The kites are made by hand with thin
paper, and moist bamboo forms into
the desired shape. Kabir has been
participating in the sport since he was
about five years old, and he now owns
over 2000 kites.
Professors Sherri Douglass and
Pamela Strieker collaborated on the
event which was in synch with the
campus read and a GEL 101 class.
Funding was sponsored by the American Democracy Project and the First
Year program. Part of ADP's mission is to enhance civic engagement
within our campus community, and
in the larger community.
After the kite flying demonstration, a book discussion was held for
the campus read, "The Kite Runner,"
a story of a young kite fighter in
Afghanistan with immense cultural
insights. Professor Pamela Strieker
responded with her reaction of the
event, "I think the book discussion
went well and those present learned
a great deal about Afghanistan and
Afghani culture and they also learned
that in the end, we are all not so different from one another."
A few copies of the campus read are
still available. Contact either Professor
Pamela Strieker, at stricker@csusm.
edu or the Office of Community Service Learning located in the Faculty
Center in Kellogg Library.
From LGBTQIA, page 1
Felipe Robinson-Zanartu said, "The
committee will visit different centers
and see how they were structured so
we have an idea of what to look for
and what to model it as. That's exactly
how we modeled our Women's Center.
We didn't start by making stuff up."
Felipe said that the center could
potentially provide counseling services or offer a place for students to
hang out. "It goes with ASI's core
value of diversity, bringing in all
types of values, opinions, and serving
100 percent of students," RobinsonZanartu said.
Lee said, "I see the center being an
inclusive and educational venue where
students, any student, may come in.
In regard to programming, I think the
opportunity that lies ahead is the ability to educate our North County San
Diego community about these issues
and provide any support and ser, vices."
When speaking of the LBGTA club
on campus, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"They're a very big club on campus
that's done a lot of programming with
Student Life and Leadership. And
with the C3 and with ASI's goals of
fostering awareness and education
and student life. That's what we want
to with the LBGTQIA Center."
As of now, Robinson-Zanartu said,
"We do have a really tight budget.
We have no money allocated toward
the center." In order to fund the
center, ASI will first look outside
of CSUSM. To do so, ASI has hired
Rodger D'Andreas as an advisor for
the LGBTQIA Center. D'Andreas will
also serve as the advisor to the Women's Center. "He's going to look for all
the different funding possibilities,"
Robinson-Zanartu. "This will be via
grants and from supplemental funding
wherever we can find it. But because
he's so good at doing that, that's one of
the reasons we hired him. We're looking to have it funded from the outside.
Then once we have the budget situation under control, then we could have
money put into it."
With two centers on campus including the Women's Center, the Cross
Cultural Center, and the upcoming
LGBTQIA Center, ASI recognized
the need for representation among an
additional slew of clubs and organizations. At a recent board meeting, ASI's
Aamara Ysrael introduced a new position— a Social Justice Officer. "He or
she is in charge of creating a Multicultural Committee of all different
clubs, whether it be the German Club,
the French Club, MEChA, we have a
whole list of clubs and organizations,
to try to incorporate everyone into
ASI and have the multicultural perspective," Robinson-Zanartu said.
The position of the Social Justice
Officer is appointed by ASI President
Caitlin Gelrud and must be approved
by ASI's Board of Directors. The
position is currently open to any student who would be willing to serve
CSUSM as the Social Justice Officer.

Spanning the globe with the click of a mouse: Google Earth
Google Earth provides access
to anybody, anywhere - users are
able to take virtual tours around
the globe, search through multimedia content, search for local
places and "placemark" locations* to refer back to. The virtual tours not only allow users to
zoom into any place around the
world, but it also provides information pertaining to the chosen
location. The website claims to
provide a multitude of multimedia information "from the web
community and popular sources
like National Geographic"; users
are also provided with "Geographic Web and Featured Content layers as well as layers for
3D buildings, parks, schools,
hospitals, airports, shops and
more," states the website. For
those whom need practical local
information, the website also
provides driving directions and
makes it easy to "layer multiple
searches, save results to folders, and share placemarks with
others." Book marking or rather,
"placemarking" locations, permits users to save the places
they have visited along with customized additional information
added to the "placemark."
It is clear that Google Earth
provides a plethora of resources
to users around the globe, but
perhaps more importantly, it
exposes the devastation taking
place in Darfur. When the fiveletter word, "S-u-d-a-n", is typed
into the search bar, the website
displays a world of its own - far
from any location one would
"placemark" as a vacation spot.
The screen shows two types of
fire icons: one orange and red,
the other completely red. The
orange/red fire represents damaged villages and the completely
red fire represents destroyed vil-
lages. As the destroyed and damaged villages are homes to many,
those homes are represented by
light and dark blue icons labeling them as either "refugees" or
"internally displaced" individuals. Where one would be excited
to click on the multimedia icons
in any other given location,
these icons only unfold the tragedy that has befallen the men,
women and children of Darfur.
Videos and pictures give testimonies of the people who have
been afflicted by the genocide
sweeping across Sudan. Upon
reading testimonials, seeing pictures and watching movies - the
website provides a link to the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), where
users can find out more information about the crisis in Darfur,
how to help, and "bear witness"
to the achingly horrible violence
that is occurring everyday. The
entire world is now able to witness mass genocide - however it
is up to users to seek the knowledge.

The Arthritis Foundation
invites the community to par-
ticipate in its? annual San Diego
Arthritis Walk. To be held at
Embarcadero Park North on
Sunday, May 20, the Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
help the 46 million people with
doctor-diagnosed
arthritis.
Arthritis affects men, women,
and children of every race and
ethnic group and is America's
leading cause of disability.
Over 700,000 residents of San
Diego and Imperial Counties
live with arthritis, nearly 3,500
of them children. The Arthritis Walk is an opportunity to
honor and to help improve the
lives of friends, loved ones, and
community members afflicted
with the debilitating condition.
Funds generated by the event
will be used by the Arthritis
Foundation in its ongoing effort
to "help individuals take control of arthritis by providing
public health education; pursuing public policy and legisla-
tion; and conducting evidencebased programs to improve the
quality of life for those living
with arthritis," according to
the foundation's website (www.
arthritis.org).
Those who wish to participate in the San Diego Arthritis Walk can register online to
form or join a team. Once registered, participants can set up
their own personal Web page
and begin raising funds using
the online fundraising tools
provided by the foundation.
At the event, according to
the 2007 San Diego Arthritis
Walk homepage, participants
may choose from a three-mile
or one-mile walk route; write
an inspirational message on
the Wall of Heroes; wear a blue
"hero" hat if they have arthritis; and enjoy the f un, festivities and f ree health information. There is no fee to register,
but a participant must raise a
minimum of $100 in order to

Getting a summer job
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer is fast approaching. During
summer, some Cougars go back to their
home dens, some stay here at CSUSM, and
some vacation around the world. Regardless of the destination, all Cougars need
money during the summer. One way to
ensure a supply of money consists of working during the summer.
All Cougars should be aware of the
basics when applying for a job. Despite the
current lack of seriousness in today's college culture, first appearances matter the
most. When applying for a job make sure
to groom neatly meaning no crazy hair
dyes, no overrun sideburns, and no just
woke up before coming to interview hairdos. Dress professionally even if the job of
interest is the local donut shop. Dressing
professionally consist of a dress shirt, tie,
dress shoes and slacks for male Cougars,
and non-revealing blouses, skirts or slacks,
and dress shoes for female Cougars. Keep
eye contact, shake hands firmly, and formally introduce yourself to all personnel.
CSUSM's Career Center website (www.
csusm.edu/careers) offers loads of information regarding summer jobs and internships. One summer job opportunity provided through a link on the website is a
job involving "campaigns to stop global
warming pollution and promote clean,
renewable energy alternatives." Another
links offers a job in painting residential
and commercial for the summer/The web-
site also offers aid in creating resumes and
an online interview practice program with
over 1,500 mock interview questions.
Another website offering advice for
job-hunting Cougars is Monster (www.
monster.com). Monster has over 75 million registered users. Monster users post
their resumes at no charge, allowing interested companies to view them. Interviews
are highly important when applying for a
job. In addition, Monster recommends further involvement in job hunting outside of
just posting a resume. Wendy S. Enelow,
a Monster Contributing Writer, explains,
"Writing powerful thank-you letters is
not just a formality. Thank-you letters are
marketing tools that can have tremendous
value in moving your candidacy forward
and positioning you above the competition." James Gonyea, another Monster
Contributing Writer, proclaims "Discover
the Work You Were Born to Do" in his
article on how tofinda job you will enjoy
by answering a set of 20 questions.
Career Builder (www.careerbuilder.
com) also provides information on jobs
and is similar to Monster. A quick search
in sales in San Marcos, CA resulted in 13
hits. The 13 job listings offered jobs from
selling furniture, toflowers,and even cell
phones. Like Monster, the website allows
users to upload resumes quickly and free.
Post Resume (www.postresume.com),
similar to Career Builder and Monster, also
allows the postirig of resumes at no charge.
The website suggests "Rewrite/update/rework your resume to reflect your current
career objectives. Remember that your resume
speaks volumes about
you, particularly if you're
looking to shift gears into
a new field in which you
have no directly applicable
experience. Be sure to note
your skills and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring
to a job rather than industry-specific experience.
And, emphasize transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork,
and problem-solving. Also,
be sure to highlight prior
measurable/demonstrable
accomplishments."
The upcoming 2007 San
Diego County Fair "Salute
to Heroes" (www.sdfair.
com) begins June 8th and
ends July 4th. The event
creates numerous opportunities for employment. Such
job opportunities include
shuttle drivers, stagehands,
ticket sellers, and even security positions.
The excitement and proximity of the San
Diego County Fair smells like a perfect
catch for any Cougar.
If finding a job seems traumatic and
stressful, take into account a real experience from a fellow Cougar. "I was once
hired because I looked preppy and had
no friends. I rolled in wearing flip-flops,
a Volcom short sleeve t-shirt, board shorts
and sunglasses. My boss felt sorry for me
and hired me," said Business Administration Major Kyle McClellan.
So, as the few weeks left of school come
to a close, begin the job search now to
ensure afinanciallyburden free summer.

Website of the Week:

reaches those young people who need help
the m ost"
Halfofus.com aims to join, support
and inform college students about mental
health issues, while also allowing students
to guide the direction of the site with their
personal testimonials and feedback. The
website offers students exclusivity by linking students to their own school's specific
programs on mental health and depression, and provides students with national
resources as well. Topics addressed on the
site include: depression, suicide, bipolar
disease, eating disorders, anxiety, stress,
alcohol use and drugs.
One particular service offered through
the site is an anonymous screening tool
for students to help them understand, cope
with and take further action should they
feel they have an emotional disorder. Halfofus.com is a "safe space" that provides
students with the opportunity to explore
their feelings and emotions through useful
resources, and presenting advice on how
to reach out to a friend, as well as ways to
combat depression.
. Featured tools on the website include: an
action center to facilitate students who wish
to get more involved in mental health awareness, with information on how to start an
"Active Minds student advocacy chapter"
on their campus; an anonymous self-evaluation screening tool that was developed
by the Medical Center of Duke University,
giving students individualized feedback;
"Through Half of Us, mtvU and The Jed
Foundation want to initiate a public dialogue to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues on campus
and connect students to the appropriate
resources to get help," states halfofus.
com.
Halfofus.com is just one of the many
resources available through The Jed Foundation (an organization leading the nation
in suicide prevention and helping to educate college students about mental health
and mental health services) and ULifeline
(a program run by The Jed Foundation).
Launched in November of 2006, the Jed
Foundation paired with mtvU to create
a campaign to heighten awareness about
mental health issues and their prevalence
on college campuses across the nation by
linking students to the right resources.
In a press announcement released by
mtvU, Half Of Us "represents the reality that nearly half of all college students
have felt so depressed they could not function. Suicide is the second leading cause
of death among college students, and the
number one cause of suicide is depression. In an effort to reverse these trends,
Half of Us will initiate a public dialogue
that begins to de-stigmatize mental health,
encourages more young people to seek out
ways to improve their state of mind, and

Pride Staff Writer
Marrakesh, with its stronger African
vibration than other Moroccan cities, is a
thorough assault on the senses in every
way. As one of the most visited places in
Morocco, it comes as no surprise that it
offers a real sumptuous shopping experience; of course you are expected to haggle
hard! In a city full of talented artists of
llVilV
«MUÍ
many disciplines— especially leather
working, wood and metals, there is no
shortage of venders to try out your negotiating skills and it really is a fun thing to
do. Marrakesh is also known as the "Red
City," possibly due to the abundance of
its ochre colored buildings, and it was the
capital of Morocco off and on for a few
hundred years.
The first thing that a visitor to the place
will notice when disembarking the plane,
l^il^i
is the stunning snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains that surround the area; however, the awe does not end there. Beyond
the city walls, resides such an unfamiliar
collision of smells, sights and noise that
it can be tricky to maintain your sense of
direction, not good when you are trying
to find your accommodations! Donkeys
and carts are a major form of transportation, as are diesel powered mini motorbikes, so it is inevitable that extremely
potent fumes hit the nose as you meander
through the narrow streets. Venders in
tiny shops line the streets as do countless
motorbike repair shops and you really
have to be careful in navigating your way
around; people and animals are everywhere and there seems to be no rules with
regard to slaloming a motorbike at high
speed through the throngs of walkers.*
Most streets seem to lead to the famous
Djemaa el-Fna, a huge central square full
of activity. Here you will find performers of every kind, from snake charmers
to story tellers/Animals are everywhere
too, donkeys and mules tirelessly haul
THE PRIDE
their cargo and performing monkeys hop
around their owners shoulders. Naturally
pick pockets abound and you may encounter a few solicitations for henna hand
painting or merchandise, so it is important that you do not become too mesmerized by the fantastical scenes around
you. Also overlooking the hive of activity is the ancient 253-ft tall Prayer tower
or minaret, of the Koutoubia mosque, a.
beautiful structure complete with huge
stork nests at the top. Five times a day
there is a call to prayer from the minaret
which adds to the feeling of wonderment
of the place; there really is nothing more
beautiful than hearing the first cali just
before dawn.
Linked to the Djemaa el-Fna is the
extensive network of the souqs an
absolute must to explore. Everything
you could possibly imagine is sold here,
including things you would probably not
like to imagine, such as leopard skins that
you will find in some of the apothecary
stalls. However, I believe that it is important to keep an open mind and, above
all, be respectful to the Moroccans right
to practice what they believe in, you are
after all a visitor in their culture.
Aside from shopping, I really recommend soaking in other things. Take in
the museums and the gorgeous Yves St.
Laurent gardens. Wonder at the Moroccan Saadian architecture amidst the Saadian Dynasty tombs and, for the ultimate
in relaxation, pay a visit to one of the
numerous steam baths or Hammans for
an olive soap scrub down or simply sit
and people watch whilst sipping delicious
mint tea at a café in the Djemaa el-Fna.
In all, Marrakesh will provide memories
of a timeless place and you will no doubt
be keen to return, it really can be a wonderful immersion into an enchanting and
exhilarating culture.

Jock Talk With Josh: Yankees vs Rod Sox
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I am so sick
of the Boston
Red Sox and
New York Yankees. The sports
world loves this
rivalry, but I am
completely over
it. The last straw for me came last
Thursday.
I was sitting in my COMM 440
class with, Dr. Bud Morris. Every
week at that time I'm usually struggling tofinda topic to write about,
and last week was no different. My
next step at that point is to ask my
buddy Mike Millburn for a topic.
I respect his suggestions since he's
also in the sports business, but I
could tell it was a slow sports news
day when he told me the biggest
story was about a sock.
That's right, a sock. Not just
a regular white gym sock, but
a bloody sock that was worn
in 2004. The significance of a
bloody sock, you ask? It was worn
by Curt Schilling in the 2004
playoffs when the Red Sox came
from behind from a three games
to nothing deficit against the Yankees before going on to win the
World Series.
Schilling showed great courage
at the time for pitching with a torn
tendon in his ankle. The blood on
the sock came from his sutured
ankle that the training staff did up
for him twice during the playoffs.
The reason this * sock has
emerged almost three years later?
Because Gary Thorne, a baseball
announcer said that one of Schilling's teammates told him that it
was red paint, and not blood on
the sock.
That was the lead story on the
3PM Sportscenter last Thursday.
ESPN spent seven minutes discussing a red sock from the Red
Sox.
What may be most disturbing is
that red sock sits in Cooperstown
at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
When the museum closes at night
I can imagine all the baseball
head plaques wondering where
3
snnam..Mrm

5
the nasty smell is coming from. I
can imagine the plaques of Reggie
Jackson and Lou Gehrig looking
at one another and accusing Babe
Ruth as the source of the smell.
Then Ted Williams' plaque jumping in and explaining that there's
a bloody sock from the Red Sox
World Series Championship.
I can imagine all of that because
the sports world would like you
to believe that even the Red Sox
and Yanked Hall of Fame plaques
don't like each other.
Seriously, though. The Red
Sox and Yankees played a three
game series two weeks ago and all
three were on national telecasts,
ESPN broadcasted the Friday and
Sunday night games while Fox

T he o bjective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with
the c orrect numbers. There are three r ules:

broadcasted the Saturday game.
The season is only a month old
and both teams have already made
more appearances on national
television than most other teams
will have all season long.
Back to the red sock. Thorne
actually held an impromptu news
conference to discuss the "controversy" once Mirabelli denied ever
saying that it was paint, and not
blood.
A press conference over a
bloody sock. I think that may be
a sign of the Apocalypse or hopefully the downfall of this played

Martin Storrow a N orth County treat
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
With a wave of his guitar and a
sparkle in his eyes, local singer/
songwriter Martin Storrow
wooed the buzzing gathering at
the "It's A Grind Coffee House"
last Wednesday night. A native to
North County and a UCSD graduate, Martin Storrow preaches a
peachy blend of acoustic folk and
poppy jams.
"I think in college when everyone is so focused on the outcome, so focused on the piece
of paper, the result, the grade—
[it's important to] just find a fulfillment in the process. Find the
fulfillment in every step along
the way, and don't worry too
much about the outcome," said
Storrow. "If you really want it,
it will happen," he continued,
addressing the challenges of following one's dream and career
aspirations.
After a long haul oftouring last
winter - "150 days on the road,"
claimed Storrow - he's back in
town for a bout of relaxation and
regeneration to finish his first
^olo full-length album with producers Peter Spragu6 and Daniel
Diaz. "It's been
really nice to
just be home,"
said Storrow,
"and I think it
also helps the art
too. Being homfe
and connecting with these
old relationships
that I've had
and being in this
emotional space
of
familiarity—that really
breeds good art,
I think."
Anticipated to
be released later
this summer,
some of the
highlights awaiting listeners
on the yet to
be named new
album are tracks
like "Angel of
the Moment,"
"Midnight Daydreams," and
"Ugly." "Everything from songs
I wrote six years ago, to songs
that I wrote yesterday are going
to be on this album," said Storrow. "The songs stem from the
same place, which is a very
honest place."
One of the featured tracks
that .will be on the new album
is "Angel of the Moment." "For
me," explained Storrow, "that
song is about all of us in our
own capacity
to be someone's
angel, which I
think is such
a
powerful
thought, so I'm
excited about
that song and
what it says."
Formerly the
frontmanforThe
Storrow Band,
Martin Storrow
is no stranger
to the local or
even national
music scene
and his music
is as honest and
captivating as
ever. "I'm sure
you've listened
to a song and
thought: 'that
song is about
me, that's what
I wanted to say,
and this person
said it.' As a [song-writer] when
I hear that, there's a part [of me]
that's like 'oh crap, what now?'
[Thinking] that now I can't write
that song because someone else
already said it," said Storrow.
"But to be able to do that—to
be able to connect—it's not just
a destination as much as it is a
process, and that's where my fulfillment comes from, from that
process...there's no point that
I'll reach where I'll say 'I'm done
being a song-writer.'"
Admitting to having played
over 350 shows within the past
few years on the road, when asked
how he keeps his performances
fresh and unique, he replied, "I
think the trick to keeping it fresh
is a) remembering exactly why I
do this, and b) playing stuff that I
like and enjoying myself."
Entertaining a cozy and intimate listening experience, Martin
Storrow's "show slash workshop"
is fun and memorable, complete
with Storrow's special touch of
humor and charm.
Catch Martin Storrow at "It's
a Grind Coffee House" off of
Rancho Sante Fe in San Marcos,
every Tuesday and Wednesday at
6:30 p.m. through May.

THE PRIDE
Spider-Man
¡ gilt i » i
If
w w w w »V
BY DAVID CHURCH
Pride Staff Writer
. JMthJhe^anticipationof M ay-4-nearing,
audiences across the world are getting
tickets for the showing of "Spider-Man 3"
in the hopes of seeing Spider-Man (Tobey
Maguire) square off against the New
Goblin (James Franco), Venom (Topher
Grace) and the Sandman (Thomas Haden
Church) in what may be considered the
best "Spider-Man" yet.
At the start of the film, Peter Parker
(Maguire) is at the top of his class in school
while, Spider-Man is receiving approval
from the entire city of New York. Mary
sour concoction is also the perfect decoration for any well-manicured hand on
any given occasion.
This juicy spin on a classic martini
could have originated from one of three
scenarios in my opinion; the first of
which is in the spirit of the evil queen
in Snow White, who, as the fairly tale
says, tricked Snow White into eating
the poisoned apple. The second of
which is the telltale biblical story of the
temptation of the Eve with apple in the
Garden of Eden. Perhaps the creator of
the Appletini felt tempted to mess with
a good thing (the original martmi).
Although none of these possibilities a?e
very likely, this sinful indulgence is a
sugary twist on the timeless martini,
bound to delight and satisfy.
Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) is living her
childhood dream and is a star of a Broadway show, while Harry Osborn (Franco) is
stilWooking to avenge his father's death.
With everything going so well, it only
seems right that outside forces would begin
to play a role and bring in a lot of drama.
When a strange black creature from out of
this world takes over the Spider-Man suit,
Peter Parker becomes a whole new character. At the same time, a new freelance
photographer, Eddie Brock, (Grace) competes with Peter Parker in taking SpiderMan's photo. With the addition of Grace,
the audience receives a well-balanced
cast.
Photo by Amanda Andreen I The Pride
.With many subtle variations of the
newly found classic floating around,
my . favorite version of the smashingly
appetizing Appletini is as follows:
1 1/2 ounce Smirnoff Green Apple
Twist Vodka
1 ounce DeKuyper Sour Apple
Pucker schnapps
Pour all ingredients into a shaker. Fill
with ice. Shake well and then pour the
mix into a martini glass and garnish with
an apple slice or a maraschino cherry,
Ah yes,: the Appletini, one of my
favorites and soon to be yoursi; Johnny
Appleseed sure had the right idea; it is
just too bad it took the rest of us so long
to catch on.
As things begin to settle down in the
movie and the storylines are slowly
immerging, Maguire and Franco are able
to have fim with4heif-eharaeters-by over
emphasizing their emotions, which brings
humor to the film.
With things slowly going back to normal,
the audience gets sucked into the heavy
dosages of drama instead of the action
packed movie viewers would expect.
With the longevity of the drama, the
film's humor passes the time as well as
the scattered battle scenes throughout the
film.
The best parts of thisfilmare the action

of Spider-Man saving the innocent, to
Peter dancing up a storm, to the very well
choreographed battles between the good
""guys and the not-so-evil bad guys.
The action scenes allow the audience to
forget that the story moves slowly. With
some amazing one-on-one battles, the
finale is what makes the movie what it is,
another blockbuster smash.
With all the story lines coming to a
close, the movie tries to pull tears from the
audience as the emotional rollercoaster of
Spider-Man and friends comes to an end.
And this very well could be thefinalchapter of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

Pride Staff Writer
Facti! '/Staff
Cal State San Marcos faculty,
staff and students rallied for fair
contracts and affordable education on Thursday, March 9, in
front of the Kellogg Library.
"We wanted to let President
Haynes know that we think it's
time for her to demand that the
Trustees reinvest in the CSU,"
said Lance Newman, secretary
of the CFA San Marcos. "We
want them to reduce student-faculty ratios and approve fair contracts for the unions."
The Unite to Win rally was
co-sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA),
the California State University
Employees Union (CSUEU), and
the Academic Professionals of
California (APC), and according
to Newman, the demonstration
was well-supported, with over
250 people participating in the
rally.

President Haynes, alongside the cheerful students of the Early Learning Center, celebrated
a California State University San Marcos first
at the ground-breaking ceremony for an on-site
childcare center, on Tuesday, March 7.
"This has been a long-standing dream of
Cal State San Marcos," said President Karen
Haynes.
The Center for Children and Families was
made possible through a grant awarded to Cal
State San Marcos from the First Five Commission
of San Diego in the summer of 2004, providing
$7,681,356 in funds to build the 22,000 squarefoot facility. An additional contribution from the
2005 approved fee referendum has made this ASI
dream into a reality.
The ground-breaking ceremony began with a
delightful twist of "Hi-Ho ... it's off to Cal State

Cal State San Marcos prepares
to bid farewell to Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard. Poullard will go on to work at UC
Berkeley at the conclusion of the
Spring 2006 semester.
"The community at Berkeley
is one that I can benefit from
both personally and careerwise," said Poullard in explaining why he decided ofi employment at the UC.
For Poullard, the CSUSM community served as a place where
he benefited from his commitment to keeping student interest and learning at the center of
his agenda. However, Poullard
describes his Sari Diego experience as one of struggle over
trying to blend his personal life
with the quality of his career.
"UC Berkeley allows me to
earn a Ph.D. while also working,"
said Poullard. Berkeley is also a
community with a heavy sociopolitical atmosphere, an element
found intriguing to the Dean of
Students. San Diego lacks the
diversity and opportunities for
growth that Poullard seeks in
each location he travels to. So,
after nearly six years of experience, he will be saying good-bye
to Cal State San Marcos.
When asked about his most
memorable
experiences
at
CSUSM, Poullard chuckled upon
recalling the events surrounding
the Michael Moore issue during
Fall 2004.
"The experience sent positive
chills up my spine. The students
were active in making the school
their own at that moment, and
it reminded me of why I am an
educator," said Poullard.
During his experience here,
Poullard feels he's benefited
from working so closely with
the student body in forming positive bonds to give rise to strong
leadership. He also commented
that campus organizations are

$44 million, as opposed to applying for a grant that will cost $48
million.
Another important question
asked frequently of the Parking and Transportation Services
Department is why not increase
the faculty/staff parking fees as
well, which currently costs only
$14.00 a month, which in a semester is about $88.00 less than what
students are currently paying now
per semester.
The answer, according to Director Dora R. Knoblock, is that some
years ago parking became a bargaining issue between the Chancellors Office and the Union, and
since the price increased in 1999
for faculty/staff from $12.00 per
month to $14.00 per month, it has
since remained the same.
Finally, the common question
asked of the Parking and Transportation Service is why are students who are here now having to
pay for a structure that they are
unlikely to use. Williams offered
a conclusive answer.
"Students seven years ago were
paying to subsidize parking that
you now use, and now you'll be
paying for the future students,"
said Williams.
It is a circle system that seems
unfair atfirst,but at second glance
makes sense.
Both Knoblock and Williams
agree that they are looking out for
the greater campus community
that is not just the present, but the
future as well.
1,500 new spaces for students,
according to Parking and Transportation Services. It will also
include a drive-thru daily ticket
machine, oversized vehicle and
motorcycle accommodations, car
pool parking, disabled access, and
new pedestrian pathways which
have never been implemented
before. Lot F's construction is
scheduled to begin this April and
aims to be available for students
for Fall 2006.
The next big project, which is
set to be completed in 2011, is
CSUSM's first parking structure.
This is where the ten-year plan
comes into play. This new structure will be in the place where Lot
N now resides, next to the University Village Apartments and
Chavez Circle. The structure will
contain an estimated 2,800 general parking spaces and it will be
at least four stories tall. The project will cost roughly $48 million.
According to Williams, the
school generates approximately
$3 million a year. Also, taking
into consideration that the state
does not assist in financing such
projects, the money consequently
must be raised through increased
parking fees. With the student
parking fees scheduled to rise

that focus on preparing children
for success in school, as well as
early childhood development.
The new Center for Children
and Families site is adjacent to
the University Police Department, nestled at the northeast end
of the campus property. The Center's Grand Opening is scheduled to commence before the Fall
semester of2007.
"It's about taking risks, it's
about collaborations, and it's
about moving forward together,"
said Peggy Kelly, the woman
responsible for applying for the
grant from the First Five Commission. "This center is a win for
children, a win for students, and
a win for the community. The
Center for Children is one example of the best of what Cal State

David Faber to speak on campus of RecycleMania
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
The German Club and Phi
Alpah Theta will be co-sponsoring a lecture by Holocaust Survivor David Faber in ACD 102 on
March 15 at 5:30 p.m.
Faber, author of Because of
Romek: A Holocaust Survivor's
Memoir, will be on campus to
recount his incredible story of
survival as a young boy during
the Holocaust. Students and
faculty are invited to attend this
important event.
"It is important for students
and faculty to come. We have the
opportunity to learn history from
someone who was actually there.

As a final word to CSUSM

Cal State San Marcos reaches
the halftime mark in the tenweek competition of RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored
recycling and waste reduction
contest.
With 93 colleges and universities participating in the program, Cal State San Marcos
continues to strive for the RecycleMania title.
But at this midpoint, one
neighboring San Diego county
campus stands between Cal
State San Marcos and another
national recycling championship. Point Loma Nazarene
University maintains a tiny, but
stubborn half percent overall
recycling rate lead over CSUSM
in the Grand Champion division
of the competition. The Grand
Champion division measures
the combined results of the Per
Capita Classic and the Waste
Minimization
competitions,
and demonstrates the greatest achievement in both source
reduction and recycling.
In the Per Capita Classic
standings, CSUSM finds itself
in second, trailing by six pounds
of recyclables per person. In
this competition, institutions
are competing to collect the
largest amount of recyclables
per person.
While Cal State San Marcos
pushes to regain their title, the
campus proudly maintains a
strong and powerful lead in
the special division of Targeted
Material-Corrugated
Cardboard competition, with
35 pounds per person, a strong
comparison to second place
campus, Kalamazoo College,
far behind the Cougars with
barely 15 pounds per person.
This year, the competition
has been especially intense
with traditional powers such
as Colorado State, Washington
State, and Miami (Ohio) chasing close behind the Cougars.
Cal State San Marcos's Green
Team and Blue Crew need the
campus's added support as they
work to keep the championship in San Marcos. Together,
CSUSM can make everything
count.
"This year, we need to do more. Everything that
needs to be recycled needs to be recycled. From
newspapers, to old classroom assignments, every
piece makes a difference" - Carl Hanson, director of the Green Team at Cal State San Marcos.

�I N F S Anniversary raised money for ASI Women's Center
U AET
BYRACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
The LUNAFEST Anniversary fundraiser was held in "The
Clarke" Grand Salon to raise
money for the new ASI Women's
Center, on Friday, March 10.
"We are proposing the ASI
Women's Center budget to the
Associated Student Inc. Board
of Directors in April which we
hope will fund the bare necessities of the center," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's
Issues.
Hosted^ by ASI, University
Student Union Advisory Board
(USUAB), the Arts and Lectures Series, and Student Leadership and Life Multicultural
Programs, the LUNAFEST
Fifth-year Anniversary presented films from, by, and about
women. CSUSM students paid
an entrance donation of $15
while other attendants paid $25.
Before the filming began, there
was a wine and cheese reception. In addition, there was also
an auction for more donations.
All the money raised from this
event goes directly to the funding of the ASI Women's Center.
"Funds raised from outside
ASI will supplement programs,
services and resources, and
build on a savings account for
the future of the ASI Women's
Center," said Barr.
These funds will also bring
Advocate
Scholarships for
CSUSM students, mentioned
Barr.
"The ASI Women's Center is a
pull-together of many on campus
and community resources and
services as a sort of 'information
hub' for services already available from programs all around
campus," said Barr.
The ASI Women's Center will
be student run, will advocate for
support and will expand services
to students. Resources such as
pamphlets and referrals will be
available for as informational
tools. The center will provide
a network to various groups on
and off campus. The center will
also provide counseling and support groups. Students can also
visit the center for menstruation
and contraceptive supplies.
"The ASI Women's Center is
a safe space for women to come
for information, resources, services, and programs that affect
them," said Barr. "It is a hub of
information and a place for all
students to feel like they have a
voice and a resource."
ASI Women's Center will continue to host many other events
that will help raise money for the
new facility.
Currently, the Stand Up for
Women campaign is accepting
donations. Anyone who donates
$15 or more will have a plaque
dedicated with their name. The
deadline for donations, with a
plaque, is March 24.
The ASI Women's Center will
be located in Commons 201A,
around the corner from the other
ASI offices.

grand opening is scheduled for

Pakistani educator speaks to students during 'Coffee Hour'
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
For the second time this semester, Cal State San Marcos hosted
the International Coffee Hour.
Held on March 8, and sponsored
by Global Connections in support
of Women's History Month, the
event featured as guest lecturer
Fulbright Scholar Dr. Shagufta
Iqbal.
Following a similar format to
previous Coffee Hours, it was
both social and educational, with
attendants enjoying free coffee,
lemonade and snacks. Local and
international Students and staff
also took the opportunity to
get reacquainted and meet new
people.
Aside from the more tangible
benefits, the lecture from Dr.
Shagufta Iqbal also helped attract
those in need of a coffee break.
Dr. Iqbal is the principal of an
all-female government degree
college in Sibi, Pakistan. Visiting
the United States on a Fulbright

ests. She says that the women feel
more comfortable, both socially
and academically, when learning
with an all-female staff and student body.
The body of her speech honed
in on the types of reforms she
hopes to implement in her home
country of Pakistan, including a
revamp of current curriculums
and introducing a variety of new
courses. There was also acknowledgement that teachers would
need more education and training
themselves.
Of particular interest to testweary students in this country,
Dr. Iqbal stressed the need for
reforming the assessment/examination mold. She explained that
in Pakistan, there is too much
emphasis on a single test, that the
norm of using a single examination to gauge students' knowledge. Current tests emphasize
memorization and, in her opinion, are inadequate means of predicting students' potential success.

was clear that a lack of technology and facilities present huge
obstacles to Pakistanis gaining
an education. Often there is no
plumbing, and children sit on the
floor because they have no desks.
Some classes are held without a
physical classroom, resulting in
teachers lecturing to their classes
i nihe hot desert sun.
"I was shocked at the condition of their schools and lack of
financial aid," said Aya Okada,
an international student who
attended the International Coffee
Hour.
After hearing Dr. Iqbal's lecture, it was evident that the U.S.
education system had made a
good impression on her. She
plans on applying many U.S.
teaching techniques to schools
in Pakistan, listing such methods
as student-involved instruction,
reduced test anxiety, research/
activity orientation, and needbased technical skills.
"[There are] so many issues, I
could talk for hours and hours,"
said Dr. Iqbal about the obvious factors that affect education
reform.
But she remains optimistic
about Pakistan's future. $430 billion have been budgeted for the
nextfifteenyears in a governmental program called "Education for
All." While it is a vital cause, Dr.
Iqbal said that "reaching this goal
will depend on [Pakistani governmental] leadership."

Just by attending an ASI sponsored
or co-sponsored events students have a
chance to win a $100 Shell Gas Card.
With the continuing rise of gas prices
and tuition, Commuter Student Services
developed the Gas Card Program. The
Gas Card Program is a chance for students
who attend ASI sponsored and co-sponsored events to enter in a monthly drawing
to win a $100 gas card.
"The goal was to provide a useful and
needed service for the 90 some odd percent
of students that commute from throughout
the county to our campus," said Director of
Commuter Student Services, Jeremy Mill.
Some students may be unaware of the
program or free gas incentive, but 'since
the programs initial start in September of
2005, there have been nine winners from
the Fall semester and five from Spring
semester.
When a student attends any ASI event,
he or she is eligible to place one ticket into
the drawing for each event that student
attends within that month. The drawings
are held on the last business day of each
month with the winner being contacted
with the information that was provided on
the ticket. If for some reason the winner
does not respond or pick up the card within
one week from initial contact, another
winner is chosen.
A student has the possibility to win

every month if their name is drawn, however, there are some restrictions. A student
cannot win more than one card per month,
and students that work for ASI (Programming Board, Board of Directors, intramurals, or Recreation) are not eligible to enter
the drawings.
The gas cards are for Shell Gasoline and
are accepted at all Shell Gas Stations. The
nearest Shell Station is about 3 miles from
the campus at the cross-section of San
Marcos Blvd. and Grand next to In & Out.
The gas card program will run until
the end of the semester. To check out the

�Sex Toys Workshop educates and excites
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
The eager, the apprehensive, the lucky
few who could find close seats, all spread
into Com 206 last Tuesday at 8pm to
attend the latest presentation of the Sextoys Workshop.
As the presentation was readying to
begin, student Christine Weir, a junior
with a double major in social science and
women's studies, learned about the event
from other students passing out flyers
in her class. When asked if she had any
expectations, she replied that, "I've never
been to a 'workshop' before, but I'm
looking forward to seeing how this stuff
works." Speaking with her further about
whether this kind of event was good for the
campus, she believes "it helps make the
campus more progressive, and ease negative stereotypes about sex-toys."
Amid the ample display of erotic tools
and seasonings, the phallic and fakebreast-like balloons, students looked about
for familiar faces and snacked on cookies served from a baking mold resembling
male genitalia and drank soft drinks, but
mostly hoarded energy drinks from an
ice container that, sadly, only resembled a
bucket.
Sophomore and computer science major,
Muenge Loundu, who had clearly never
been exposed to anything related to sextoys, said he was expecting, if anything,
"some instruction on how and why to use
them." Even if a little apprehensive, he
had no trouble saying: "I'd go even if the
event wasn't on campus, I always like to
learn about new things, and this is something I knew virtually nothing about."
Mr. Loundu also felt that it was, "good to
have it on campus, to make more people
aware."
Though last Spring's event was organized by the Women's Studies department,
this year the task was in ASI's hands. The
audience was thusly welcomed by organizer Cheyenne Barr, who took a moment
to alert students to other events celebrating
'Her-story' month. Attendants were also
encouraged to participate in raffles for
both the workshop and the regular drawing open to all who attend an ASI event
and are interested in winning such student-friendly prizes as 100$ of gasoline.
Next to the stage was Dr. Ghiara, or as
some affectionately call him, 'Dr. G."
He began his lecture with a seemingly
serious story about 'men in dark suits'
coming to censor the presentation, primarily his slide show. It was then that he
guided the laughing crowd through an

assortment of photos displaying cute kittens and proud roosters. (Those unaware
of the slang-pun implied here are welcome
to email the Pride for further explanation.)
Once everyone settled, Dr. G then proceeded to explain in very simple terms
the precise functions of the female and
genitals and the human sexual response,
emphasizing the relationship between
mental and physical stimuli as well as the
individual nature of our sexual selves.
There is, to those concerned, much natural
variation between one person and the next,
specifically in what they find pleasurable.
Dr. G also gave a brief explanation of the
both enigmatic and, for some, irrelevant
'g-spot' as well as a history of Kegel exercises and how scientifically recommended
they are.
Following the lecture, a Q&A session
rewarded those who paid close enough
attention to both the subject matter and
its significance. Naturally, some prizes
drew more hands than others. Dr. G. also
emphasized his desire to raise money for a
cancer research fund, offering free professional and private sex consultation to those
who donate to the cause. Those interested
should contact consults@DrGonline.com
The women of Passion Parties themselves kept things both fun and relaxed,
offering free samples of pheromone oils
and an all natural 'enhancement gel'
promised to greatly increase sexual experience for half a day; half a dozen of each
gender was quick to their feet to step into
the nearby restroom. Some of these volunteers came back smiling, others smiling a lot. Naturally, the toys themselves

commanded the largest presence, despite
their varying sizes. Students opened their
mouths wide, either stunned or mesmerized by the many feats of engineering and
novelty ... though the room grew noticeably, if predictably, quiet at the introduction of the 'playful plug.'
Calm, yet still attentive and eager to
laugh, senior liberal studies major, Juana
Molina, reflected a moment to compare
this workshop to last Spring's event, held
in the much larger Clark Field House.
"These presenters had lower priced
items, and a smaller audience made it
seem more interactive."
The unofficial Passion Parties motto of
"a little Aribration never hurt anybody,"
was clearly convincing, as more than half
the attendees stayed behind to either discuss the presentation or visit the Passion
Parties ordering table, where they offered
hand jobs. This reporter got one himself,
amazed at how good it felt to have one of
the presenters put on a plastic textured
mitten and rub massage oil onto his hand.
In addition to such demonstrations, they
also offer the highest of confidentiality to
those ordering their products.
Catching up with Ms. Christine Weir
again, it was clear that she'd been pleasantly surprised, particularly by "how much
.health related information they provided
... it (the whole event) was great."
John Hall, a sophomore majoring in
Biology, and another who clearly never
considered sex-toys a major factor in their
lives, also spoke well of the event.
"Initially, I just went along with my
friends, but now I feel these things could
help anybody.
Speaking with Cheyenne about any
resistance she received to putting on
another workshop, she was happy to
say that there were only a couple people
"concerned that the event would promote
immoral-intercourse, yet virtually all of
these things could be used solo." She went
on to remark that something like a sex-toys
workshop on campus is "like the second
course to sex education, and for some it's
the first."
Dr. Ghiara was also very adamant in his
stance on issues surrounding the controversy.
"Encouraging people to know more
about themselves is not advocating hedonism."
As to issues of hesitation or hostility towards supporting such an event, or
of having to constantly defend its 'educational value,' he admitted that it was
certainly something to consider, "but if
this were a more residential college that
wouldn't be as big an issue."
He also brought to light a bit of American context with a slightly mortified laugh,
pointing out that in many of the states that
outright criminalize sex-toys, the open sale
of automatic weapons is perfectly legal.
Honey and Chrystal, of Passion Parties,
are both CSUSM alumni and former ASI
members. They've brought their passion to
campus before, but only as vendors at last
year's performance of The Vagina Monologues. Typically they're invited to private
homes, but both agreed they 'd love to present at universities more often because, as
Chrystal points out, "sex is everywhere,
but sex education isn't."
To anyone still uncomfortable with the
idea of a sex-toys workshop on campus,
Honey explains warmly how "continued conversation about sex and sexuality
provides people more comfort with their
bodies and their partner's body." Once
more, Honey echoes the evening's clear
stance that it's not merely 'permissible'
to provide these kinds of venues; "It's
important to equip students with the tools
to make healthy decisions about their sex
lives."
�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
The
u pcom-
ing
sports weekend for San
Diego will be an alltime great. It will also
be a great opportunity
to show off San Diego
to the world.
i
It's not often that
playoff games take
place in San Diego, because the Chargers
and Padres play in their respective postseasons about once every decade. During
this weekend, however, San Diego will
have playoff fever.
On Thursday March 16, the NCAA
Men's basketball tournament will kick off
with first round play at Cox Arena on the
campus of San Diego State. The March
Madness tourney is something that every
sports fan needs to experience. I have not
had the opportunity to attend an NCAA
tourney game, and if I don't get a chance
to go to the first round, then maybe I will
get a shot at the second round which will
be. played on March 18 at Cox Arena. The
first round always sees plenty of upsets.
One No. 12 seed seems to always beat a
No. 5 seed on the first day, but don't get
too upset-minded, though, because no 16
seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed, so don't
forget about that when filling out your
brackets.
If the NCAA tourney wasn't enough
on Saturday, the World Baseball Classic Tournament semifinals will be held
at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. I
have tickets for both games which will
take place at noon and 7 pm. Maybe I will
be able to sneak in a second round game
of the NCAA tourney in between the two
baseball games.
The San Diego sports weekend will
officially end on Monday, March
20, when the WBC championship
game takes place. On January 24,
I predicted a Dominican Republic versus United States championship game. I stand by that
prediction with a forewarning that Venezuela looks
strong, so don't be surprised
to see them take the Dominican's spot.
San Diego athletes will
also get the opportunity to
shine. The SDSU Men's basketball team will be playing
in the NCAA tournament and
has an excellent chance at winning a game since they have two
likely future NBA prospects in
Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter. Mohamed Abukar gives SDSU a
third scoring threat and any team that
has three players who average 14 points
or more per game definitely has a shot to
shock some teams. In the other sport, Jake
Peavy will have a spotlight on him if the
United States WBC team makes it to the
semifinals because Peavy is the probable
starter. If Mexico makes it to the semifinals, then another Padres player, Vinny
Castilla, will get some attention. The Mexican WBC team captain would be playing
just 30-minutes from his home country, at
his home ball park in front of the world.

�Art can get under your skin
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Writer
Students across campus
express their individuality
through numerous mediums.
Clothing, mode of transportation, hairstyles, and lingo give
clues to their personality. Tattoos are no longer limited to
certain stereotypes but are now
used as a means of expression by
a variety of people. People can't
judge what "type" of person is
prone to getting a tattoo because
the range has expanded to the
point of non-existence. Tattoos
are no longer synonymous with
drunken sailors or leather clad
rebels without causes. Gone are
the days of tattoos being only
socially accepted on men. Currently, there are so many people
that have tattoos that it's probably harder to find someone who
doesn't have one.
A lot of individuals get tattoos that are really personal
and mean something to them.
Some people even create their
own tattoo designs because the
design is unique and accurate
to who they are and what they
want to express about themselves. There are of course
individuals who get tattoos
for purely aesthetic reasons
or because tattoos happen to
be the "in" thing. They may
choose a tattoo by its popularity
and not necessarily its meaning.
These people probably have tattoos of dolphins, flowers, butterflies, or tribal bands they
picked off a wall or their tattoo
artist's portfolio. They probably have belly ring or tongue
piercing scars to remind them
of the days when piercings were
the in thing. Some of them will
probably regret their tattoos and
eventually end up having them
removed.
Where a tattoo is placed is
almost as important as what
kind of tattoo is chosen. A lot
of people get tattoos in places
that aren't visible when wearing
a t-shirt and jeans or whatever
attire they may be required to
wear at work. A lot of females
tend to get tattoos on their
lower back so that it's visible
when low pants or short tops are
worn. Males seem to get tattoos
wherever they deem aesthetically best. There is no norm
to predict who around you
may have a tattoo. The boisterous guy in class with piercings and a mohawk may be a
virgin to the ink needle while
the quiet introverted girl with
glasses who sits at the front
may have her whole back and
arms covered with an ornate
tattoo design. Hopefully, most
people get tattoos to feed
their individuality and not to
feed pop culture's "what's hot
today" top ten. Even if a tattoo
is later removed, scarring is
still visible and the experience
of getting the tattoo lingers in
the cranium so that the tattoo
lasts basically forever. People
should take heed when selecting a design and place for their
tattoo. People should also shed
the stereotypes they've been
conditioned to accept for the
tattooed and not judge someone superficially. In a world
where things once considered
extravagant are now mass produced, individuality is a hard
path to walk and a harder path
to create for oneself.
Letter to the Editor
In the Feb. 28th article,
"LGBTA keeps a low profile on
campus," we the members of the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally Student Organization want to thank Natasha Heckendorn for taking the time to learn
about our group and for educating the CSUSM community. She
is the first representative from
the newspaper to acknowledge
and give us exposure in Pride.
As much as we are grateful for
this exposure we want to respond
to the statement of "low profile."
Many student organizations on
campus function remarkably well
with "noticeably low" numbers.
We are such an organization.
We do want to address the comments concerning campus climate. We realize that there may
be small numbers of reported
hate crimes, but we want to offer
a perspective on why the reports
are low. We believe the incidents
occur on a fairly regular basis, but
because there is risk involved in
reporting such incidents, people
are less likely to come forward
to report these incidents. According to the FBI (2000) the most
frequently reported single hate
crime offense was intimidation,
which accounts for 34%.
Hate crimes against LGBT
individuals, like other crimes
against oppressed groups, such
as racial discrimination and
sexual crimes, are personal and
are more difficult to report to
the authorities. Such reporting
puts an individual in a position
where they have to come out and
could ultimately be subjected to
added harassment. We suggest
that reasons for the low number
of reported hate crimes might
be more complex and could be
more of an indicator of the lack
of safety for our members on
campus.
We as an organization realize that there is a need for educating our campus about LGBT
and those issues that affect us.
We would like our campus newspaper to continue to educate the
community on LGBT matters
and inform your readers about
how they can act as our allies.
With respect,
Jay Franklin

Robbins Report
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
South Dakota traded abortion in for a
new Dodge pickup truck last week. The
potential ban is significant, but I reckon
that most Americans would prefer to
either praise or denounce abortion itself.
So let's do that.
I like to sum up the abortion issue in
three basic notions:
Notion #1: The abortionists (separate
from the more numerous passive prochoicers) suppress their consciences in
rejecting the embryo as human life, and
distort concepts like "choice", in order
to (a.) retain some power in a world that
they believe hates women, and/or (b.)
advance their work as diehard apologists
for selfish and irresponsible behavior.
Notion #2: The anti-abortionists (I'll
admit, some of them are bigoted, militant, and overbearing) can see the forest
and (like abolitionists before them) will
be on the right side of history, because
favoring the opportunity for life to proceed naturally over an unnatural convenience will always be more progressive.
Notion #3: George W. Bush was right
about one, and maybe only one, thing: In
time, the abortionists will lose. Eventually the public will decide that this particular form of death/murder is unnecessary, and public policy will bless its
desire. Many politicians on the left will
be observed quietly celebrating without
the monkeys on their backs.
So that's my take on the abortion.
I'm sure that you should agree; so go
ahead.
In other news, I met a nice girl last
week and she wants to go out. I also met
Alexis de Tocqueville and he wants me
to believe that equality can be a threat
to liberty.
Tell me: Should I ditch equality,
and deprive other females of an equal
opportunity to be with me by pursuing this nice girl? Or should I bolster
equality, apologize to this nice girl,
and give myself back up to the female
community?
If I choose the latter (extreme
equality) do I pose a threat to the
liberty of so many others? Will the
government come along someday and
restrict folks from committing to one
person? Will we be forced to share
our love with others (I bet this doesn't
sound too bad to some of you)?
Oh, the life of a political theorist!
John Locke, where are you when I
need you the most brother?
The lesson: Take an active interest
in your studies, for you might just find
yourself in a position to preserve or
destroy liberty someday.

THE PRIDE
Free-Ninety-Nine, are you outa your mind?
BY JENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
"Free" is a word that is loved
by all, but it is loved more so by
college students. It seems that all
college Students are broke, yet
many are spending a lot of money
for something that they can get
for absolutely FREE!
Students are always looking for
some kind of f un and entertainment; what better way is there
than to go to the movies! The
Cougar Movies Series is in its
second year and is offering free
movies every Tuesday night, all
semester long for students, staff,
faculty, and guests. The movies
are generally shown in the Clarke
Field House/ University Student
Union, with the exception of two
movies that will be showing in
Arts 240.
"There are free movies on
campus?!" said Business Administration major, Glenn Ramos.
"I have no idea what's free on
campus; I just assume they charge
us for everything."
Tim Bills, the Assistant Director at the Clarke Field House
explains that the Cougar Movies
Series is primarily sponsored
by the University Student Union
Advisory Board, Associated Students, Inc. and also by Student
Life & Leadership.
For movies that are shown on
campus before their DVD release
date, Cal State San Marcos pays
$750 to the movie distribution
company, Swank Motion Picture, Inc. for the rights to show
the movie. For movies that have
already been released on DVD,
the cost is $415 to show it on
campus. According to Mr. Bills,
funds to pay for these movies
come from student fees.
When asked why these movies
are shown just one night a week,
and not throughout the week, Mr.
Bills replied that the school has
a contract with the distribution
company that limits the showing
of the movies to a one-time only.
It would cost a lot more to show
the same movie more than once.
As to why the movies are
shown on Tuesdays nights, Mr.
Bills says that in the past, movies
were shown on the weekends as
non-alcoholic social programming. The number of attendees was low when movies were
shown on campus during the
weekends. This is why they are
now on Tuesday nights. With an
average of about 75 attendees,
Mr. Bills hopes to attract more
viewers.
Glenn Ramos thinks that the
student fees that are put towards

this program is money well
spent, if there is a great number
of people interested and attending "if I wasn't already busy on
Tuesday nights, I would go," says
Ramos. "But it is great for those
that live on or around campus "
Movies shown on campus were
chosen at the beginning of the
semester in the Student Organization Council meeting. Student
members of the USUAB, ASI
program board members, and
representatives from the club
organizations all had input into
what movies they wanted to be
shown.
"We chose and voted for not
only great blockbuster movies,

How To... Celobrate St. Patrick's Day

Pride Staff Writer
St. Patrick's Day is Friday, the
one day everyone is Irish and a
great day to party. In Ireland,
public houses (otherwise known
as pubs for short) are a huge part
of social life and act not only as
bars, but meeting places, social
clubs, post offices and grocery
stores, according to Irelandseye.
com. Luckily, there are plenty
of exciting events and places
to go to celebrate in Southern
California. Starting with San
Diego, in the Gaslamp Quarter
is Shamrock 2006. According to
Signonsandiego.com, they roll
out 30,000 feet of green astro
turf lined with Irish goodies
such as face painters, stilt-walkers, hat makers, green martinis and plenty of green beer.
F and Fifth Street will be
filled with music and dancing,
thanks to the Irish rock bands
The Fenians, Crossroads, The
Downs Family, NRG, Skelpin,
DJ Dan (among others), hometown Celtic bands and traditional Irish dancers. This event
has a $20 admission charge and
lasts from 4:00p.m until 2 a.m
for those who are 21 and over.
If an authentic Irish experience
is what you want, then pubs are
great places to feel like an Irishman or Irishwoman. Maloney's
Irish Pub is a f un restaurant and
bar with inviting booths and a

because you might miss it! Look

of Guinness. Hennessey's Tavern
on Mission Boulevard hangs the

Commemorating those who
served in the armed forces, Cal State
San Marcos celebrated Veterans
Day on Nov. 11 at the Library Plaza.
The ceremony consisted of nearly a
dozen Cal State San Marcos active
duty Marines in Dress Blues.
The ceremony included a speech
from the master of ceremonies,
Staff Sgt. Karin Reyes, a recital of
a speech from President G.W. Bush,
a color guard ceremony, and a cake
cutting for the Marine Corps birthday, which was Nov. 10.

"It's for the youth too," noted
Bob Neal, exalted ruler of the

the reasons behind why we celebrate Veterans Day. "They're the
future, and why we do this."*
City councilman, Rocky
Chavez, former Marine Corps
colonel, speaking on behalf of
Oceanside Major Jim Wood,
offered a brief speech commenting how "the best thing about
Oceanside is our relationship
with the military. Not just the
Marine Corps, but all services.
Veterans fight for freedom not
just for our nation, but for all

Congressman Darrell Issa,
a key speaker at the ceremony,
highlighted the expanding benefits for veterans and focused on

The teddy bear delivery starts on
Dec. 13 in Balboa Park where representatives from each participating police department will speak at
a press conference about the results
of the event. These officers will
then take part in a motorcade from
Balboa Park to Children's Hospital
located in the Kearny Mesa area of
San Diego County.
Since this is the season for
multiple donation drives, and
only our campus' second year
of involvement, the Teddy Bear
Drive could end up to be less
publicized.
"Students can get involved by
getting the word out," said Panza,
about ways that students can
participate beyond just donating teddy bears. All donated
bears must be in new condition;
therefore, the drive cannot accept
hand-me-downs as to comply
with Children's Hospital's policies for infection control. Participants may also donate money,
making checks payable to Children's Hospital.
"It is with great respect and
with a heavy heart," we pay
respect, said Reyes about the
tribute for those who served and
those who've died.
Veterans Day began in 1919
as Armistice Day attributing to
the cease fire from World War
L President Wilson proclaimed
that Nov. 11 will be set aside to
remember all of those who have
served.
President Eisenhower changed
Armistice Day to Veterans Day
in 1954 in order to pay tribute to
all veterans of all wars.
A speech by President George
G.W. Bush was read by Staff
Sgt. Louis Caliendo. The speech
urged all Americans to recognize Nov. 6 through Nov. 12 as
"National Veterans Week" and
called on Americans to participate in patriotic activities. Bush's
speech, read by Caliendo, also
paid tribute to those who are
serving overseas at this time.

�ASI Early learning Center hosts first
off-campus garage and bake sale
B YLIZZ OSBOURNE
Pride Staff Writer
In an effort to reach out into
the community and raise funds,
P.A.T., the Parents and Teachers group, acting as a liaison
between ASI and the Center,
will host a combination garage
and bake sale off-campus, in
front of Ralphs Grocery Store,
on Saturday, Nov. 19, between
8:00 and 11:00 a.m.
According to P.A.T. President, Shelly Monroe, "there
has never been an off-campus
garage/bake sale done by any
student organization. I felt it
was important to get the community involved and recognize
that Cal State has a Child Care
facility while fundraising all in
one. Our student organization is
different because we deal with
children and parents. Not many
people know that Cal State
offers childcare to students at
a more reduced rate than all the
surrounding centers. Getting
the community involved will
make this event successful."
In-kind donations are needed
for the garage sale that are in
good condition like clothes,
dishes, and small furniture.
Pick-ups are available till Nov.
18. There are two drop-off locations on campus in the Student
Life and Leadership Office
Craven 4116, and the ASI Office
located in the Commons Building. Volunteers are also needed
to help price items on Nov. 18,
and to set up, sell and sweep up
on the day of the sale, Nov. 19.
The ASI Early Learning
Center is a childcare facility
run by ASI that offers lower
tuition to students and faculty
of the university. It is offered
to the community as well, but
students and faculty have priority. Students benefit from the
center because it allows them to
go to school and have lower cost
childcare to help them complete
their degree. It offers childcare
to ages 2-4 years old and offers
CLASSIFIEDS
a camp in the summertime
when the university is closed.
ASI Early Learning Center is a
non-profit organization, which
means it relies on the P. A.T. club
to help fundraise for any extra
items not in the budget.
Last spring, P.A.T. members
raised funds through events
such as a fashion show where the
young children were dressed up
according to themes. However,
funds and in-kind donations are
still needed. One of the biggest
expenses they are saving up for
is a childcare van. Their wish
list also includes: outside play
equipment, shade equipment,
bicycles, balls, and computers.
Volunteers are always needed
to help assist with the children,
and act as drivers to and from
the Center.
For any information on this
event, donations and/or volunteering, please contact: Shelly
Monroe, Parent and Teacher
president at monro011@csusm.
edu or 760-481-8240.
CELEBRATION, from page 1
to support, defend and serve our
nation. "Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are all
veterans," said Issa. "Politics end
when our nation needs us. There
are no political stripes in the service."
Following
Issa's
speech,
Assemblyman Mark Wyland,
for the 74th District, shared some
inspirational thoughts about his
feelings toward the role Veterans have in securing our nation's
freedom. "This country has more
freedom, more hope, and more
opportunity than any other in
history," said Wyland. "We may
be imperfect, but now we are
trying to bring these freedoms to
another part of the world."
Lt. Colonel Brian Kerl, of the
United States Marine Corps, captured much attention in the opening of his speech when he joked
about how "others (Chavez and
Issa) may have excused themselves" due to other engagements, however; "the Marines
are still here!" His comment was
well received with laughter and
applause.
Emphasizing and reporting
on current active duty veteran
efforts, Kerl detailed the training
procedures implemented at the
Marine Corps Recruit Depot in

his draft into the Navy.
San Diego.
"Our commitment to one
another remains unquestionable,"
said Kerl. "We are proud to have
served in difficult circumstances.
And thank you for your service to
this great nation."
In an effort to help local youths
develop a positive sense of patriotism, the Combined Veterans and
Fraternal Organizations of North
County sponsored an essay contest "to make them aware about
what Veterans Day is, and why
those wars were fought to maintain our nation's freedom," said
retired Marine Corps Captain,
Donald Greenlaw. Chosen winners were awarded at the end of
the ceremony. Three winners
were selected from each participating school, awarding first
place writers with a $100 bond,
and second and third place winners with $50 bonds each. Six
school divisions participated
in the contest including: Faith
Lutheran, Martin Luther King
Elementary, Roosevelt Middle,
Oceanside High, El Camino High
and one recipient f rom the homeschool division.
"It was a good experience for
everyone involved" mentioned
Jeanne Evans, CVFO co-chairperson, who congratulated the
students on their wonderful
words of inspiration. Eight students were present at the ceremony and honored with a certificate of excellence.
In closing remarks, Rev. Steve
Chappell offered a prayer for
departed veterans, encouraging
all attendees to keep in mind the
"memory of all military members
who have given their lives for us
all. May they rest in peace. God
Bless."

�Cash corner:
A sudent's perspective on college and money
BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
Our world is in love with money. Have
you ever watched late night television and
sat mesmerized as people retell their get rich
quick tricks? They promise to send you a six
disc set with all their instructions so you can
do it too! And if you act now, they will throw
in a free solar powered pocket financial calculator; all for three easy payments of only
$33.33, plus shipping of course.
Ever walked through a store's magazine
and newspaper racks? The Wall Street Journal, Baron's, Kiplinger's, Smart Money,
Forbes, Financial Times, and then of course
the personal finance articles in magazines
like Mens' Health, Cosmopolitan, and the
thousands of other monthly publications,
all offer up their words of wisdom on the
issue that hits home every time: money,
dinero, cash, bread, dough, cake, moola,
etc... People are hungry for the tidbits of
information that will set us free and let us
retire early in a small Italian villa.
Unfortunately, college graduates tend to
leave their institutions of higher learning
with a degree in whatever, a mountain of
debt, and no real knowledge of how to get
out of the hole. We put our faith in walking with our class on graduation day and
then walking into our new office the next
week. After all, you posted your resume on
Monster and this new job you know you are
going to get will finally pay enough money
for you to live comfortably, pay off all your
debt, retire early, and live happily ever after,
right? Maybe, but I would not count on it.
A friend of mine, a very intelligent guy
with a degree in business management
emphasizing industrial psychology from
the highly regarded Pepperdine University,
looked for three months to find a job only
to be offered a $32,000 a year job as a very
low man on the corporate totem pole. With
that, he could live in an apartment with at
least one roommate, drive the same car
he drove through college, and maybe be
able to save a little money at the end of the
month. Unfortunately, his student loan debt
exceeds $30,000 and any leftover money
goes right into paying that off.
Do not count on a well paying job straight
out of college. Do not rack up the student
loan debt (not too much anyway), credit
card debt, auto loan debt, home mortgage
debt, and any other kind of debt while
hoping to make $70,000 a year, when you
finally escape the college classroom and go
out into the "real world." Instead, start your
personal finance education now and start
planning today. This winter break, go to
a bookstore and find a book (that you will
need to read) on personal finance.
This column will attempt to tackle a lot
of the issues facing college kids today with
their finances. We will discuss important
topics such as your FICO score, how to consolidate and eliminate debt, how to make a
big ticket purchase like a car or a home, and
we will try to give you the basics, like creating a budget, how much credit one should
have, which kind of credit cards to use, and
how to make the most of the money you do
have. Hopefully, this will give you a better
understanding of your personal finances.

A n interview w ith the founder of Perigee
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
LTWR graduate Robert Woerheide walked in May of 04, but
not before establishing an especially sleek and professional
online art magazine "Perigee", as
seen through www.perigee-art.
com. Directly after graduating
from high school in '96, Woerheide attended Virginia Tech as
a physics major. He didn't stay
long, however, before moving out
to San Diego. A fter some time
working retail, and some more
resuming undergraduate credits at Mesa College, he came to
CSUSM and all it had to offer
an aspiring writer. During one of
Woerhide's campus visits an ensuing debate imitated conversation
and conversation in turn imitated
interview as Pride set one wordsmith editor against another.
What do you recall about the
education you received here at
that time, do any teachers stand
out, any program you found
especially good or bad?
I think I had a really good experience with the LTWR department. Brandon Cesmat, he was
instrumental in helping me to
find my voice as a poet. I never
considered myself a poet, but he
guided me through the process.
And certainly professor Susan
Fellows was critical in my development as a writer, and she stood
out in my experiences. Newman
and Yuan as well.
It seems you remember more
the professors
themselves
rather than any kind of structure within the college, the
teacher more than the class.
Yeah, I think so. Yes.
You said that you transferred from Science into Literature. Have you talked with
other people who have made
what seems like such a drastic
change?
No, not really. I always hear
stories of people 'changing their
majors' and that sort of thing.
When I went, I wanted to study
Astrophysics and the math just
killed me. So, in my first semester, I switched over to English,
so it was a quick thing. I had an
opportunity to go to the University of Iowa, and I.. .sorta wish I
had, maybe. It's certainly more
of an English-oriented school but
my experiences at Virginia Tech
instilled the seed for the online
magazine,
Many students might be in
a similar situation, pursuing
something in the more tangible
sciences, where the arithmetic
might seem a real drudgery, do
you think it's a mater of whether
you're 'capable' or more a
matter
of...'compatibility'?
And if you'd had more compatibility might it have put you
on an entirely different path,
might you have continued with
writing but in a lesser capacity?
I think I would have eventually
gone back to English, to writing;
it was my passion since I was 1314 years old. I got fired up about
astrophysics, but I have a feeling
I was meant to be a writer is some
form, or an editor.4 Working with
words'; I think I would have eventually swung back to that.

So when people make the
decision it should have more to
do with the more driving passion rather than what comes
easiest, necessarily?
I would say, yes. Certainly
speaking for myself, I'm a passionate person, so it would make
sense that I would be driven more
by passion. Some people are more
driven by wanting a better life for
their family which might lead
them to more profitable endeavors than writing, but for me I'd
definitely be inclined to follow
my passion.
That brings us to a larger,
and hopefully deeper question,
in the sense that often people in
the arts, particularly in literature, are viewed as 'reclusive'
or otherwise selfish people, and
yet so often explain their work
in terms of how it can help
other people. Do you think it's
difficult to reconcile these two?
No, I don't think it's difficult
to reconcile them. Art needs to
be an intimate and often private
'act'. Yet, in the end, I think art
achieves what it needs to achieve
by being sent to a broader audience, by engaging with the world.

INTERVIEW, from page 5
Some of the great artists are often
introverted, but their work hopefully speaks to an 'extroverted
world', if you will.
You're currently editing the
online publication "Perigee",
how did you get into that?
FEATURES_
you respond to the idea that the
problem isn't enough people
reading, but too many self-identified 'readers' now feeling so
self-conscious that they fancy
themselves either destined or
obliged to write, that "there
aren't too few readers; there are
too many writers."

ment. There are many theories
to explain this, but how would
That's a legitimate concern. I
think that's one of the benefits
of the internet, though, that it's
very democratic in that respect. If
you can get your work published,
more power to you. I think there's
enough space to accommodate
that at this point. I suppose we'll
eventually see that chafe removed,
the lesser works will fall by the
wayside. As online publication
develops word will spread as with
anything else in life.
It seems you're hoping for a
natural process, that the hacks
will lose interest, and yet so
often we see that the big jobs in
television and cinema are often
going to the 'hacks'. How do
you reconcile this?
That's easy for me to answer:
I think that in the modern world
nice guys finish last, and I think
it's a shame. I mean nice as in
someone who has artistic integrity, who takes the long road.
That's not to say that if you work
for CNN you're a worthless
human being, but in general I
think the things that are rewarded
in our modern system aren't necessarily conducive to good writing, to a sense of artistic integrity (not to use that term again).
That's what I mean by nice guys
finish last.
In that respect, returning
to education, how diverse the
experiences and results are,
do you think this has more to
do with the system or the very

nature of good writers? Can
you blame the system when the
system is designed to serve the
masses while the masses generally don't become good writers?
I think there is definitely a level
of personal responsibility, and with
writers, with all artists in general,
you're perhaps more likely to find
people who aren't so concerned
with publishing something to further a career as with simply writing
a good sentence. And you'll find
this in otherfieldsas well.
Do you think there's anything to be done, whether in
large classes or one on one, to
'make' good writers, and if not
do you think maybe teachers
should focus instead on making
more voracious readers?
I think both go hand in hand;
you have to be a voracious reader
to be a good writer.
Don't you think, though, with
regards to what you said earlier
about too many writers...
Yeah, if you have to pick one
or the other, pick reading, we
need more readers, then maybe,
once they've read a heck of a lot,
maybe they can become good
writers, but in the meantime definitely pick reading.
Do you feel you follow a
model as an editor, is it a model
that works better for online
publishing than physical publishing?
I look at other publications that

are successful, but I want Perigee to have
its own voice, so I try to see what I like
about those publications, then ask myself
why I like certain aspects before I incorporate them to make Perigee as a whole
rather than piecemeal.
But in terms of how to discern between
worthy and unworthy submissions?
Online publications are still fairly new,
so I've simply had to do what makes sense
to me and to the other editors. We have to
trust our own sense for that but also have
to be objective at the same time. In that
sense we don't really have much in terms
of 'models' to go off of, we're really just
kind of doing what makes sense from an
artistic standpoint.
Being able to use your own taste and
standards is something that a lot of people
in the publishing and entertainment
industry have as the highest goal Do you
think that's a luxury that only obscure or
independent publishers can afford, or is it
a model that maybe the bigger distributors should follow more often?
printing costs, that there will be so
many independent publishers that writing will become a hobby simply because
there is literally NO money to be made?
Or is there a model or mission statement
that the literati in all stations and fields
could encourage to make writing a more
lucrative pursuit?
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Perhaps. I think that's a legitimate concern, monetary concerns are part of the
world, and they can be beneficial to the
artistic process, and perhaps those that
can't afford to be publishing shouldn't be
publishing. That said, it is hard to break
into the system if you don't have an empire

Special to The Pride
Most football fans don't
know what to
think about the
Chargers at
this point in the
season. They
don't know if
they are a good or bad team. Do
bad teams lose the close games or
do good teams stay in contention
until the last minute of the game.
I guess it depends if you are a half
full or half empty kind of person.
Lucky for you Chargers fans, I
am a half full kind of guy.
If you play Monday morning
quarterback like me, then you
realize that the Chargers should
be undefeated at this point, but
they're actually 5-4. With those
four losses coming by a total
of 12 points, the Chargers have
made their route to the playoffs
much tougher.
I think it is going to take 10
wins to make the playoffs, which
mean the Chargers need to win
five out of the final seven games.
As hard as that may sound, I see
it happening.
The next game is against the
Bills at home. That is win number
six, because the Bills really only
have one offensive threat in Willis
McGahee, their running back,
and the Chargers are superb at
stopping the run.
The following week the Chargers travel to Washington to take
on the Redskins. I think that
game is a toss up against a much
improved Redskins team, but
since it is in Washington I will
give it to the Redskins.
After the Redskins, the Raiders
come to town for a Sunday Night
Football match-up. The Chargers
will easily take that game for
win number seven, because the
Raiders couldn't stop most Pop
Warner teams from scoring.
Then the Dolphins come to

has never been a threat to score
touchdowns, so calling plays
for Neal rather than LaDainian
Tomlinson makes about as much
sense as Britney Spears opening
for Snoop Dogg.
Secondly, Drew Brees needs
to call some audibles at the line.
Since Marty Schottenheimer and
Cameron are more conservative
than President Bush, Brees needs
to offset his coaches by calling
his own plays at the line.
Finally, the Chargers need LT
to touch the ball at least 25 times
per game. I don't care if LT runs
the ball, is thrown to, passes it, or
kicks it; he is going to find a way
to get into the end zone.
If those three things don't
happen over the next seven
games, then the Chargers will
be sitting at home watching the
Colts and Panthers work their
way to the super bowl.

�Rebuttal to The Robbins Report:
First, I would like to
comment on the fact that for
one to accurately report on
an event, students should
be able to assume that the
writer actually attended the
event. I was unable to attend
this year, but last year I was
able to hear Carol Leigh
(Sluts Unite speaker) and I
learned a great deal about
many issues surrounding sex
workers and I was in no way
as you suggested influenced
to become one myself.
Second, just to clarify,
ASI money is not state
money it is student fee
money. ASI events are not

funded by tax dollars, or the
public as, you had claimed
in your article.
Lastly, why the influence
of censorship, just because
the issue is not your own
personal favorite? Do you
really mean for ASI to censor
speakers simply because
they are controversial? We
are in college! Why are
students not encouraged
and given the credibility to
think critically and make
decisions for themselves by
being actively engaged in
ALL sorts of classes, topics,
conversations, and events?
Do you really think
that women are going to
"engage in random sexual
acts" because of a speaker?
Carol Leigh does not share
her experience to influence
students to become sex
workers. Had you attended
the event you may have
had these facts. I find your
lack of faith in students and
especially women (since
that is where most of your
comments were directed)
very disheartening.
When our constitutional
right to freedom of speech
has been in jeopardy several
times the last few years,
such as the attempted
censorship of Michael
Moore and the fight against
Senator Morrow's SB5, I
would hope that students
would defend their right
to academic freedom and
encourage each other to
critically think about issues.
This does not mean agree
or disagree with them but to
have the freedom , to make
that choice on their own!
Sometimes when we step
outside our own comfort
box, we learn the most.
I recommend this sort
of engagement to your
opposition suggesting that
you have all the answers.

I would like to remind
students the stance that
you took in your "report"
about "Sluts Unite" stating,
"I've decided to provide my
own answers; and you're
welcome." Welcome for
what? Why did you fail to
include in your "report" that
you did not attend the event?
I am disappointed.
That being said, I
believe in the students
on this campus and their
ability to think critically for
themselves and find their
own Answers! Go Cougars!

has the better case because I have
heaps of homework.
One ought not to fret though,
for I do have a few opinions on
this matter. Congressman Duncan's wet cement dream reminds
me of another current event
involving a city in Texas.
On Tuesday, the folks of White
Settlement, Texas, voted not to
rename the city to West Settlement, Texas. Opponents of the
proposed name-swap charged
that proponents were attempting
to "discard" the city's "heritage".
Apparently, the White Settlement

opposed to Mr. Duncan's plan, I
would consider gathering signatures for a name-swap initiative
in an area of California that was
originally settled by folks from
Mexico. I would reference the
residents of White Settlement,
and argue that city names that
merely reflect an area's history
are cool. And then we'd have
Brown Settlement, CA.
While such a move would not
have much of an effect on a proposed or completed border fence,
it'd probably be a nice way to
stick it to Congressman Duncan.

�How To ... Play Texas H old ' Em
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Poker, a timeless game has
gained recent popularity with a
novel twist. Texas Hold'Em is the
latest craze in poker, especially
on college campuses, due to the
popularity of TV shows covering poker tournaments, like the
World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker.
In Texas Hold'Em, each player
is dealt two cards face
down, which is followed by the first
round of betting.
A fter the dealer
"burns" a card, a
"flop" of three cards
is turned face up on
the table. The dealer
then reveal the fourth
andfifthcards known
as the " turn" and the
"river", with a round
of betting and folding in between each.
With the five community cards
on the table, each player who is
still in the hand will use their
two down cards to make

With the spread of online poker

players can easily improve their

their own homes. Companies have caught on

Derek Carson, who wrote an
article for pokerpages.com about
finding a game, said "finding a
poker game on a college campus
is easier than finding a cocktail
waitress in Las Vegas." So what's
the allure? Well first off, the
game has better odds than any
other game because players are
playing against each other and do
not have to overcome the house
edge.
Secondly, the game is more
competitive, relying more on

Lastly, it doesn't take a lot to

Play online for free, without risk. Or for only 40 dollars,
you can have the chance to win

Just to get an idea of how big
this poker trend is, sales of chip
sets reached 10 million in 2004,
and online poker revenues worldwide increased to more than 1
billion last year.
Clearly, Texas Hold'Em has
made its mark on college campuses, online, and in casinos
around the nation. There's no
better time to go "all in."

to swordfish and tofu. According
to a press release, Stone CEO
Greg Koch said, "Stone fans will
find the quality and character of
our menu to match that of our
beers, and for those that are not
fully up to speed on just what
that means, it means that people
can expect to find a lot of quality
and a lot of character." Koch says
this will be reflected in a menu
that will lean heavily towards
items that are locally fresh and
naturally raised, tossed liberally with spices, unique sauces
and influences from around the
world.
Stone Brewing Co. was started
in 1996 by two beer lovers, Greg
Koch and Steve Wagner. The
two met up after a class at UC
Davis entitled "Sensory Evaluation of Beer." They found out that
they had similar ideas in brewing
and both shared the same passion
for beer.
After keeping in touch for a few
years and brainstorming ideas for
opening their own brewery, they
made it a reality. The San Diego
Union Tribune said "Calling
Koch and Wagner beer experts
may be an understatement."
With the incredible success the
brewery has had in the past nine
years, this statement is undoubtedly true.
While the new brewery is being
built, tours and beer tasting are

hopes to be the first woman president. "My favorite song is 'First
Woman President' because it's
the first song I ever wrote, during
one of my CSUSM lectures. And,
it's what I want to be, the first
woman president, it embodies
who I am," said Liberty.
She has two main sources of
inspirationr the inequalities she
sees in the world and other artists that she respects. Her biggest
musical influences are Missy
Elliot and Nas. She is inspired by
Missy Elliot because "She helps
new artists. The media shunned
her because of her weight, but
she went against that. It's what I
want to do. I'm not perfect, I'm
not what society sees as beautiful, but I'm happy and I wouldn't
change a thing," said Liberty.
She respects Nas because he
stays true to himself and his fans.
"He doesn't have to sell out to
gain a great audience. He's unique
and I admire that. He hasn't gone
down to anyone else's level; they
all try to rise to his. He's on top of
his game," said Liberty.
At the end of Miz Liberty's
last show, she went up on stage
and battled a black, male rapper.

The Early Learning Center (ELC) will continue to offer services to students, staff, faculty,
and the community after 464 students voted in
favor to keep the center open.
A total of 565 students voted in last week's
referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The
referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business.
In the past, ASI has provided the means to
keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for
ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who
voted online from October 18-21 decided that
an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC.
According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC
is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of
2005, the collection from students will total
^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents
of the children attending the ELC will pay the
remaining $156,000 of thè budget.

debates ballot
propositions
BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
More than 100 students gathered in the
Clarke Field house on Thursday, October 21
to watch and engage in a debate addressing
four of the ballot propositions up for consideration on November 2.
The four propositions discussed were state
Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition
B.
There were eight panelists, one for both
sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of
CSUSM students, professors, and members
of the community.
President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic
Senate sponsored the event.
Students enjoyed the free food that was
provided during the debate, but many began
to leave for classes as the event continued.
By the end of the event there were only about
20 people who remained in attendance.
The first debate was over state Proposition
66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed
by voters in 1994.
Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor
of the proposition.
Callahan urged voters to approve the
changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Business building

5 million dollar pledge announced to go
towards College of Business Administration
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Students, administration and
community members came
together for a beam signing ceremony hosted by the College
of Business Administration to
sign their name and leave their
mark on campus.
Approximately 170 people
gathered in Academic Hall
room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set
to open in the spring 2006.
"This is an exciting event.
A milestone has been reached
and it's time to celebrate," said
Cal State San Marcos President
Karen Haynes.
After listening to speeches
by University President Karen
Haynes, Dean of the College
of Business, Dennis Guseman,
and others who made the building possible, attendees had
the opportunity to sign a steel
beam that will be placed in the
building.
At the event it was announced
that a yet-to-be-named donor
came forward with 5 million
dollars to name the building,
which is the largest gift received
by CSUSM for a single project.
The name of the building is set
to be announced this week.

The ELC is not only a childcare
center and a place for children to
begin learning basic lessons at an
early age, it is also a place that
employs students and provides
internship opportunities.
"We are an essential service
for students, students utilize the
center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the
ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM
students."
Hilary Gross-Richmond, a
senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling
her internship requirement at the
ELC by helping the preschool
class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing
of the referendum is "a wonderful thing."
"It's the reward of knowing
that once you have taught them
something or read them a story,
they appreciate it and come back
for more. It's the reward of their
smile," said Gross-Richmond
describing her favorite part about
working with the children at the
ELC.
Currently, the state of California does not require that children
attend preschool before enrolling
in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before

DEBATE, from page 1
campus
BY KATIE POWERS
Pride Staff Writer
Last week Students took little
notice of For Him Magazine's
visit to campus as rain filled the
sky.
For Him Magazine (FHM) set
up a booth in front of the Kellogg
Library with video games and
promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in
Arts 240, Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored
the appearance of comedian
Christian Finnegan.
Finaegan cracked up the small
audience that attended the show.
The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea
bagging" them. Next he moved
on to relationship philosophy.
"Relationships are like yard
sales, they look really f un from
100 feet away, but when you get
close you realize it's a bunch
of shit you don't need," joked
Finnegan
Finnegan cracked jokes for
the rest of the hour long show on
everything from his "fat-tax" to
the Olympics to the upcoming
election.
The audience seemed to enjoy
Finnegan's wit and slightly
twisted sense of humor.
"It was tight! More people
should have come, they missed
out," said student Angela Jenkins
Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride
Christian Finnegan performs.
People at the event speculated
as to why only 24 people showed
up for the comedy performance.
Most explanations for lack of
attendance focused around the
weather.
"It sucks it was on a Tuesday,
let alone a rainy Tuesday," said
Eric Groset, director of social
programming for ASI.
Angela Jenkins thought the
small audience was partially due
to the lack of publicity for this
event.
"I just heard about it today, I
picked up aflyerbut it didn't have
a date on it," said Jenkins.
When all was said and done
those that attended the show left
with a smile on their faces and
sore sides.
Christian Finnegan left San
Marcos with sore legs and a smile
as well.
"There's lots of stairs. That's
brutal, it's brutal here, but it's
been great. I hope I can come
back at a later date when it's
sunny," said Finnegan.
Christian Finnegan can be
seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m.
on VHl's new series Best Week
Ever as well as in his occasional
appearances on the Chappelle
Show on Comedy Central.
lent," said Callahan about the
proposition. She stated that
Proposition 66 would narrow the
definition of serious or violent
crimes to exclude petty crimes
such as burglary or attempted
burglary.
Callahan said because of the
three strikes law California has
the "highest prisoner population
in the nation."
CSUSM student Stephen
Keller, argued against Proposition 66.
"It punishes people with no
respect for the law," said Keller
about current three strikes law.
Keller said that the current law
doesn't need to be changed and
is "riot targeting petty crimes."
The second debate addressed
state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84
percent on the net revenue of
gaming.
Community member David
Lent argued in favor of the
proposition.
"It's time the tribes stepped
up to the plate," said Lent. Lent
urged voters to vote "yes" on
Proposition 70 because, "it
would bring two billion dollars
to the table for all of California."
Community member and
Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70.
"It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about
Proposition 70. He said that
Proposition 70 "does not bring
sovereignty or a fair share," for

development major, argued in
favor of the proposition.
"Stem cell research is the best
chance to cure many different
diseases. The new cures could
affect up to 100 million people,"
said Coleman.
Executive Director of the
CSUSM College Republicans
Nick Bonomi argued against
Proposition 71.
"Those who are going to vote
for religious reasons are going
to vote against Proposition 71,"
said Bonomi.
Asking voters not to approve
the measure because of its' cost
to taxpayers. Bonomi said,
"Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in
interest."
The last debate was over local
Proposition B. Proposition B
would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory
Canyon Landfill.
CSUSM student, Didi Lund,
argued in favor of the proposition.
"The garbage dump is not
needed," said Lund. Stressing
environmental protection as a
reason the Proposition should
pass. Lund said, "The garbage
dump threatens the San Luis
Rey river. It could be polluted."
Political consultant Jennifer
Tierney argued against Proposition B.
"Landfills are needed," said
Tierney asking voters to deny
the proposition. Tierney said,
"Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It
insures that it will go through
the process."

�Professor Reuben
Professor
Veronique
Anover- Associate
Professor of World
Languages
Country: France
With her ability to speak French,
Spanish, and English, Professor Veronique Anover of the World Languages
Department maintains a very European
lifestyle.
"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often
used in the United States," Anover said.
"It is the art of knowing how to enjoy
life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so
than simply working."
Yet, living in the United States has
made it a little more difficult trying to
balance both American and European
lifestyles.
Anover, who was born in France, has
spent many years traveling between both
France and Spain attending school as
well as visiting family.
"I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in
France, summer vacations were spent in
Spain, and vice versa.
Life was a bit more collective where
the government provided state funded
health benefits as well as six-weeks of
paid vacation for teachers.
Yet, her love for languages drew her
to the United States 14 years ago as she
participated in a non-native speaker of
Mekenye
- Associate
Professor of History
Department
Country: Kenya
English program at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal
time. "Workaholic is an American
word," Anover said.
According to Anover, the lifestyle
in which Americans live in does not
allow for vacation time. "It's not that we
[Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is,
the priorities are different."
As the French Club's advisor, as well as
Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor
for French, Anover shares these words
of advice to those who share a bicultural
experience: Try your best to integrate
into the society that you're embracing
without losing yourself, your roots.
"Life here can be very brutal, a high
stress society as compared to a more
relaxed way of life in Kenya," said
Reuben Mekenye, history professor.
Having been born and raised in Kenya,
Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he
moved to the city to attend college.
As a diligent college student, Mekenye
was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such
as national issues to issuing statements
on behalf of the student community
during Kenya's political turmoil.
By that time, he had processed his
papers in Lesotho and was admitted to
both Canada and the United States after
a year.
In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as
a refugee through the sponsorship of a
Catholic church. In a state of culture
shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way
around.
Cultural Curners
Diverse professors from different ends of
_____
the spectrum
"You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United
States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello.
After a short six month stay, he was
awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much
adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted
to the University of California, Los
Angeles, where he happily returned to
a warmer climate. He grew very fond
of the education system as it was more
democratic, unlike the authoritarian
practices of Kenya. "Tests were public
exams given by strangers. We all took it
at once," Mekenye said.
After many years, Reuben Mekenye
still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having
respect for the elders. "Listen first, do
more listening then talking," Mekenye
said. "It is expected that the elders are to
command more knowledge."
With his vast sense of knowledge, he
shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget
where you come from. Your values, you
need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you
well."

�CSUSM golf superstar
All-American golfer with bright future
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Golf isn't just a sport for CSUSM
sophomore Jennell French; it's a way
of life.
Being an All American golfer
doesn't come easy, she practices with
"I eat, sleep, and
think about golf
24/7,"saidFrench.
her team five times a week, attends
yoga twice a week, and weight trains
once a week.
"Playing everyday really makes
an improvement," said French. "I eat,
sleep, and think about golf 24/7."
French has been golfing for ten
years. Her whole family plays golf, so
it was easy for her to fall in love with
the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf
Association (LPGA) like her idol and
former babysitter Leta Lindley, and
will try for her pro-card when she's
finished with college.
"I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't
love it," French said. "I love golfing
in college because as an individual
you can succeed, but at the same time
you help your team."
French's commitment to golf has
paid off. She placed in the top 15
and earned an All-American title at
the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament
last year as a freshman.
It is early in the season, but French
said she expects "to improve every
year" so golf fans can expect great
things from her this year.
As for the rest of the team, "They
are a young team made up of
mostly freshman and sophomores
and although they are doing great
this year, the team will strengthen
and improve in the years to come,"
French said.
Golf is a spring and fall sport,
unlike other college sports which
usually only play for one semester.
The first tournament of the fall
season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The
team placed fourth out of forty-five
teams and individually French and
her teammate Kyle Safford placed in
the top five.
Golf is one of three intercollegiate
sports supported by CSUSM. It is
part of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
'which is like the NCAA for smaller
schools.
The golf team has averaged about
three tournaments a semester; the last
tournament of the fall will take place
November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

Physical education and kinesiology: If you

BY MARIBEL MAYO
Pride Staff Writer
Stress, throbbing headaches
and
sleepless
nights...this
describes
the
average life for a
college student.
On top of
trying to finish
assignments,
doing last minute
revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on
a major is just as stressful. Cal State San
Marcos was once limited on the number
of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding
their way to our campus.
This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body
movement especially in humans.
The physical education and kinesiology
major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in
pursuing careers in advanced degrees in
physical education, kinesiology, exercise
science, sports medicine, physical therapy
and rehabilitation.
Those who are involved and currently
taking classes are interested in starting a
new club on campus to help build a foun-
dation for the major.
Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology
student is excited to be in a new major that
is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the
body works," he said.
This semester, there are three official
classes that are being offered, Kine 208,
a hands-on lab class designed to practice
movement in the field house, Kine 300,
which studies the biomechanics of human
movement, and Kine 301, which studies
motor control.
"Being in the major as it develops,
there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to
the program is that the field house has just
opened, and kinesiology is a major that is
open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a
new program and it's not well known."
This semester, there are currently two
professors teaching the classes: Todd
Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of
the department is advisor Dr. Nichols.
"The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging,"
Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction."
There has been a lot of positive feedback
from students currently enrolled in these
classes. For those interested in sports and
activities, or for those who come from a
background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all
students and staff here on campus.

Jock Talk With Josh
SPORTS
Tuesday; October 262004
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
I think it's safe to say
that the 86-year old curse
of the Bambino is finally
over for the Boston Red
Sox, right?
The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow
in the American League
Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and
five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for
the Yankees; the so called best closer in
playoff history ends up taking one to the
groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox
came back and stole two wins.
Then when the series moved back to
New York for the final two games no one
gave the Sox a shot since after all they were
entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the
Bronx. However, somehow they were able
to put away the Yankees in game six as
Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning
his white socks into "red sox" as he was
bleeding throughout the whole game due to
a loose tendon being stitched to his skin.
The following night the Sox put the
Yanks away and in doing so they made it to
their first World Series since 1986 to face
the St. Louis Cardinals who are making
their first appearance since 1987.
Then in game one of the World Series the
Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox
again as Manny Ramirez looked like he
was running on ice in leftfieldas he made
two errors which lead to the Cards tying
the game at nine.
But the Bambino's attempt was about as

successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark
Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom
of the eighth inning to give the Sox the
win.
The Bambino has been creative in his
attempts to send tears throughout Boston
for an 86th consecutive season, but he has
not been successful yet and do we really
want the Bambino to fail?
Everyone says they want the Red Sox to
win or that they think this is the season for
the Sox since they have dodged all those
previously mentioned bullets from the
Bambino, but deep down I know that no
one really thinks the Sox will win.
I mean if the Sox win the World Series
what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that
the Sox are supposed to find a new way
to implode so even though the Bambino
hasn't been successful in his attempts to
this point, you just wait because he will
make an appearance in this World Series
and he won't strike out.

�How to vote
Some tips on voting without
reading the cumbersome
politcal literature
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Congratulations my fellow students who refused to be
intimidated by the mere size and thickness of the California voter registration card. You checked the boxes,
filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count
yourselves among the elite: students who are registered
to vote!
By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail —
'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere
between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar
efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick
materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the
Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide
(and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately
260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and
frothy in comparison.
Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's
voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan
lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you.
In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only
for President of the United States. Other than deciding
who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of
State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any
work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read
the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under
"President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one.
Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can
vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a
senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges,
college and hospital board members (depending on where
you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi-

tions, which often have the potential to take money from
you for years to come.
My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly
simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people
I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans
in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards,
etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who
has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually
tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice.
The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements
by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because
I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis
Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of
Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze
everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be
less informed than my fictitious,

T he P assion o f M el G ibson

Pride Staff Writer
Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon.
Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked
number one on the Forbes annual celebrity
power list of 2004. His total earnings are an
estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ."
First and foremost, I consider Gibson one
of the rare true film artists. He deserves to
be number one. Not like Britney Spears that
ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing
but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and
the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success.
When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote
"The Passion of the Christ," he funded the
estimated $25 million budget himself and
found Newmarket Films to distribute the film
on an independent level. He wasn't about to
trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big
studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is
Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out
as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the
box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't
done so already.
"The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370
million in the United States and a little over
$600 million worldwide. It was released on
February 25, 2004 and held the number one
spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one
weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday
(April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is
also estimated that the film will earn another
$150 million from the DVD sales which will
rank him high in the 2005 power list.
Gibson has mastered every role he has
taken. From the womanizer in "What Women
Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal
Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to
the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled
every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of
his leading ladies and other costars.
This opinion wouldn't be complete if I
didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion
of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the
unbiased direction. He's not making the film
to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically
accurate? No one can be the judge of that.
Not any religious figure/group or historian.
Many fail to realize that fact. With any film
based on a true story or event, some facts are
purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties'
involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart"
as an example, the events were told through
many generations and may or may not have
been documented accurately. This is a film,
not a documentary.
So what's going to happen to Gibson now?
Every studio will be drooling and fighting
over his future projects. Gibson has expressed
an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his
place in Hollywood history. He has earned his
place as number one. In the film "Ransom,"
he said "Many people acquire their fortune.
But not me, I built it, from the ground up and
no one is taking it away." This holds true.
Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding
civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping
to free you from the belief that voting is too much work;
like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into
it.
Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting
alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so
get together with some friends, take an hour or two to
go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make
sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it
with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at
home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you
make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just
ask for another ballot.
Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all
good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote!
Slicing through the
political rhetoric
BY DANIEL LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be
informed. That's right, read this
article and then forget about reading
any more about the elections. Why?
The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know
the issues. How can we as voters
possibly know the issues? Many
key issues are either completely
unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a
normal citizen. Either people just
don't know, or in order to know,
you'd have to spend half your life
researching it.
Let's focus on some of the issues
of the presidential race as an example.
Is the President's plan in Iraq
working?
Kerry again attacks President
Bush by saying in a debate, "I have
laid out a different plan because
the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side
and Bush has Iraqi officials on his.
Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one
person's word against another. Are
we supposed to go to Iraq to find out
ourselves?
Does Kerry have more credibility
with other nations than Bush does?
Kerry contends that we need a
new president with fresh credibility.
No foreign nation is going to tell us,
. "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader"
No French or Russian president is
going to tell us, "Oh actually I really
dislike Bush as a person, that's why
we're not helping you." This issue
is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry
cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote
on it?
Fact checking articles such as
CNN's Fact Check are sometimes
helpful, but usually it makes more
of a mess than before. For example,
Bush claims that Kerry has voted
98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact
Check clarifies this by saying, "The
number is somewhat inflated because
it includes all votes on a given piece
of legislation, including procedural
votes and votes to end debate." So
is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way
to find out without having to look up
all the different types of procedural
votes and sort them out with Kerry's
voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a
lot or not!
Those are just a few of the issues
in the presidential election. Not to
mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many
propositions and other issues to
research. Usually it just becomes a
case of "Who am I going to believe?"
Don't be fooled by all that "informed
voter" hype. It's just another tactic
to get your vote. They want you
to be informed about their side of
the issue. The more you research
an issue, the more you realize that
nobody knows the answer. The more
you know, the more you realize how
much you don't know.

Talib Kweli:
The Beautiful Struggle
BY JAMARRPATRICK
Pride StaffWriter
Okay let's get this out the way
- GO BUY THIS ALBUM! It's
worth it, trust me.
With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter
whether you like hip hop or not.
If you are a fan of music then you
should gravitate towards Talib
Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful
Struggle. A few months ago the
early version of this album ended
up on the internet and street cor-
ners alike so Kweli went back
to the gym, trained harder* and
came out with a sure fire first
round knockout.
On the opening track "Go
Hard," Kweli does just that.
Rhyming with the tenacity of a
starving pit-bull, you can hear the
hunger in his voice as he drops
more knowledge in one verse
than many of his peers will in
an entire career: "people ask me
how we wearing diamonds/when

(
losing arms for crying while
they're mining".
On this offering, Kweli takes
listeners on a great journey of
knowledge, pain, love, politics,
religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of
which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze),
Kweli does something that he has
not done before; he simply makes
music that has no limitations on
it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

favorite is the Foreword written by Thomas>
Jefferson (a.k.a. J.T.). Who knew that even
though Jefferson has been dead for over a
century, he still "loves the mochachina?"
I could give you hundreds of reasons
why you should go buy this book, but
really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip
through it for just a second, and you will
be sold immediately. If you cannot find
a copy to review and you just don't want
to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A
sometime and take a look at ours!
When you play this album you
will be moved by it. Either your
soul will move by the spiritual
vibes of "Around My Way" or
your arms might move when you
tell someone to "Back Up Offa
Me."
On the albums most inspiring
and greatest track "I Try", Kweli
enlists Mary J. Blige to add the
final punch to one of the best
songs of the year. I won't spoil
the content of the song for you,

song you are missing out.
Kweli also takes time to speak
to the ladies in a positive and
smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the
songs "We Know" features Faith
Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and
"Never Been In Love".
The only problem spots for the
BK MC are that the album only
clocks in at 53 minutes. Some
might feel this is too short but
others may feel it's just right
because of all the knowledge
that is packed into the 13 songs.
There are two album filler tracks
that could have been replaced.
The club themed "A game" and
the "Planet Rock" influenced
"We Got The Beat" should have
been scrapped for collaborations
with his Black Star partner Mos
Def.
Overall there is no struggle
within this album. The second
word in the title describes what
the album is perfectly: beautiful.

Childcare services
to end without new
f unds
BY TIFFANY LIU
Pride Staff Writer
Childcare services on campus will end
a fter this semester unless students approve
additional funding.
Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) has owned and operated the Early
Learning Center (ELC) which provides low
cost childcare services for students, faculty,
and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer
be available.
If no new f unding source i s acquired,
childcare services at CSUSM will have to
b e discontinued until December 2007 when
the Center for Children and Families is
expected to open.
"These students would have to drop out
of school if i t wasn't for this place," said
Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference
to students who have children in the ELC.
Currently, 48 students have children
enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35
students utilize the center f ull time and 13
use it part time.
The ELC's curriculum provides an
instruction that enables children to build
self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of
cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting.
There are 6 schedules to choose from for
the f ull time program which consists of 8-9
hour days and 3 schedules to choose from
for the part time program which consists of
4 hour days.
Registration for children costs $23 for
students, and $30 for faculty and staff per
semester. In addition tuition costs at the
ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time
per day for students and $30 full-time and
$20.00 part-time per day for faculty and
staff.
In addition to providing childcare, the
ELC provides the campus with internships,
employment opportunities, as well as a
source for course projects and child observation.
In an attempt raise the f unds needed to
support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx.
csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21.
According to ELC projections 92 percent
of f unds next spring will come f rom child
registration and tuition fees, five percent
of f unds will come f rom fundraising and
grants, and three percent will c ome from
the childcare fee if it is approved. If the fee
is not approved the ELC will close.
If the Childcare Services Fee passes,

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the
bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services
BY CHEZ ARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under
consideration in the Senate.
The latest version of United States
Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal
National Service Act of 2003, calls for
a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women
between the ages of 18-26.
The bill in its most recent form offers
no deferment for college students and
makes it mandatory for wome
n to
sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently
under review in the Senate Committee
on Armed Services.
According to one provision in the bill,
"based upon the needs of the uniformed
services, the President shall determine
the number of persons" who shall b e
called to serve. People "who are not
selected for (the) military ... shall perform their national service obligation
under this Act in a civilian capacity"
S. 89 also gives the President power

What's behind the Alcohol
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
The New York Times is available to students at no charge for a four week trial
period beginning Oct 11.
There will be 500 New York Times
newspapers distributed around campus
Monday through Friday.
At the end of trial period, Associated
Students Inc. will decide whether or not
to continue the service, which will cost
$2,000 per month, or choose to have pay
racks, like the North County Times, and
have the students pay for each paper.
"I think this is an amazing opportunity.
We use the New York Times in so many of
our classes. Second, if students are passing

Voter Registration deadline is
approaching
BY LINDSAY RIEDEL
Pride Staff Writer
Time is running out for qualified people who have not yet registered to vote. Voter registration
forms must be postmarked by
October 18 in order to be eligible
to vote in the November 2 general
election.
In order to be eligible to register to vote in the State of California, you must be a U.S. Citizen,
a California resident, at least 18
years of age on or before the election, not be in prison or on parole
for a felony conviction, and not
be declared mentally incompetent by a court action.
There are three ways to register
to vote in thé state of California.
One way is to download a registration form from the I nter-
net, fill it out, and mail it in.
Downloadable registration forms
can be found on several websites including http://www.ss.ca.
gov/elections/voteregl.html and
www.rockthevote.org.
Another way to register to vote
is by obtaining, filling out and
mailing in a registration postcard.
Registration postcards are available at the DMV, the post office,
at public libraries as well as the
Kellogg Library on campus.
The third way to register is
to have a registration postcard
mailed to you, fill it out, and mail
it back.
Those wishing to have registration postcard mailed to their residence should contact the Registrar of Voters main office at (858)
565-5800 and request a registration postcard.

Voter registration forms are
available in English and in Spanish.
If you are already registered to
vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you
move, change your name, or wish
to change your party affiliation.
Some people don't register to
vote under the pretense that they
will not be called for j ury duty,
but this is not true. The list of
registered voters is shared with
the court system; however indi-
viduals are already in the pool of
people to be called for j ury duty
if they have a driver's license or
state-issued identification card.
On Election Day a picture ID is
required for first time voters who
registered by mail. If you plan to
vote through an absentee ballot,
the option is provided on voter
registration forms. The deadline
to apply for an absentee ballot is
October 2 6,2004.

As today's appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds draws closer, the
buzz around campus and the
community grows louder. Tickets
are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring.
By the time tickets became
available to the public on the
morning of October 7, there
were 2,500 tickets to sell out of
the total 10,000 tickets originally
available. Tickets sold out on
October 8.
Penelope Young Andrade, a
Rancho Penasquitos resident,
feels that the decision to postpone
ticket sales to the public was not
executed as well as it could have
been.

accidentally, I happened to go

community turnout, it would
have been better if it weren't

Many of the community members who came to buy tickets
were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales.
"It's originally supposed to be
for students, so it's understandable," said Heidi Pierce, a resident of Imperial Beach.
ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending
emails to CSUSM staff, posting
it on their website, and providing
a hotline for up-to-date information.
The CSUSM College Republicans, other local college republicans, as well as many students

to "select the individuals among
those persons who are to be
inducted for military service
under this Act," and, "prescribe
such regulations as are necessary
to carry out this Act."
In order for S. 89 to become
law, it would have to pass in the
Senate as well as the House of
Representatives.
The nearly identical house
version of the bill, HR 163, was
unexpectedly brought to a vote
on October 5.
Republican
Congressman
John M. McHugh of New York
motioned to bring the bill to a
vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar.
"Now some may say today that
this legislation is really about
the need to establish a system of
national service— And I would
say—that is a legitimate topic of
discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of
secret plans and post election
plots is focused on a return of the
draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the
house.
"The administration clearly, the
Department o f Defense clearly,
and I suspect that at the end of
this vote it will be shown the
House of Representatives clearly
rejects the fact, either before an
election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is
a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United
States military." said McHugh
prior to Tuesday's vote.
The vote was 402 - 2 against
the bill.
Democratic
Congressman
Charles Rangel of New York, the
original sponsor of HR 163, was
unhappy with the rush to vote.
"The Republican leadership
decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen-

dar (bring the bill to a vote early)
is a political maneuver to kill
rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the
November election." said Rangel
in a public statement released
after the vote.
Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of
California, stated the intent of the
legislation upon its introduction
to the House of Representatives.
"I ardently oppose war with
Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill
assures that any military service
would not include combat. Oth-
erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance
for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service
for their country, as did our President.
"
"Reinstituting the d raft may
seem unnecessary to some. But,
it will ensure all Americans share
in the cost and sacrifice of war.
Without a universal d raft, this
burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor,
the disadvantaged and minority
populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members
of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active
military service. Who are we to
know the pain of war when we
ourselves will not directly bear
the brunt of that action? It won't
be us mourning the loss of a child
or loved one. Maybe some of you
in this Congress would think
twice about voting for war in
Iraq if you knew your child may
be sent to fight in the streets of
Baghdad?" said Stark.
Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate
both presidential candidates have
made statements indicating there
will be no d raft.
"I hear there's rumors on the
Internets that we're going to have
a draft. We're not going to have
a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops
well. It works when we make sure
they've got housing, like we have
done in the last military budgets.
And all-volunteer Army is best

21st century, which is to be specialized and to find these people
as they hide around the world.
We don't need mass armies anymore," said President Bush during
the Friday October 8 debate.
"Forget all this talk about a
draft. We're not going to have
a d raft so long as I'm the president," added Bush.
"Let me tell you where the
president's policies have put us .
. . Our Guard and Reserves have
been turned into almost active
duty. You've got people doing
two and three rotations. You've
got stop-loss policies, so people
can't get out when they were supposed to. You've got a backdoor
d raft right now," said Senator
John Kerry during the debate.
"I don't support a d raft," stated
Kerry.

Know your alcohol
Requirement must be fulfilled this week
BY KIN SCHLATTER
Pride Staff Writer
All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past
summer will be required to take an alcohol
prevention program.
Students to which the requirement
applies must successfully pass the final
exam with a grade of 70 percent or better
no later than October 15, 2004. Students
that fail to complete the requirement will
have a hold placed on their registration for
spring 2005 classes.
In order to satisfy the alcohol education
requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which
is on-line education course designed for
college students.
There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu
course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the
course requires completion of a final exam
and post-survey.
The second part of the course requires
the completion of a "course conclusion"
which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the
first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December
7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education
requirement.
Informing
students
about
the
facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu.
AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the
Classroom, an online education company,
and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses.
The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance
Abuse Advisory Council.
The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff
and members of the local community who
work on alcohol prevention for the campus
and the city of San Marcos.
"The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to
our students and chose Alcohol EDU as
the tool for all of our incoming students to
use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of
Student and Residential Life and member
of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The course was designed to give students
information to assist them into making
wise decisions about alcohol use and let
students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption."
Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on
the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program
is a broad-base population approach to
establishing and reinforcing a norm around
consumption," said Poullard.
Students that have any questions about
meeting the requirement can call Deb
Fritsrold at Students and Residential
Life @ (760)-750-4952. More information about the requirement can be found

THE PRIDE
Open forum for 'Fahrenheit 9/11
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
With the heightened interest
of the scheduled appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
fairgrounds, and the upcoming
election, a screening of the controversial documentary "Farenhenheit 9/11" was presented in
the A rts 240 building on October
5.
Among the audience, was a
panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood,
CSUSM professor of political
science, Beth Accomando, KPBS
film critic, and Daniel McSwain,
editorial page editor of the North
County Times.
The screening began at 6p.m.
and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel
of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as
laughter occasionally swept the
room.
Admission prices were $2.50
for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and
$4 for other guests.
A fter the screening, audience
members exchanged opinions
and views with each other and
with the panel of speakers. The
"When we collect

topics ranged from the quality
of the documentary to Michael

�Oktoberfest lives on
BY PETER SCHWARTZ
Pride Staff Writer
Oktoberfest arrived at CSUSM
as entertainers Bill and Erma
Fassel performed with their
Group D'Zwon Bergtaler.
"The event was
successful and fed
CSUSM students
at the rate of 200
bratwurst hot dog
plates per hour"
The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas,
waltzes, ballads and dancing
called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in
circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of
their shoes.
"My family has always loved
the Schuplatter tradition," said
Erma Fassel, "which originated
when the Germari village folk
observed bird mating dances
while playing classical music"
"The Oktoberfest tradition
started in the middle ages when
King Ludwig 1 married Theresa
of Saxon and threw a huge party
for the event," said Bill Fassel,
who is three-fourths Austrian
and one-fourth Bavarian. It went
so well that he decided to do it
again next year.
The tradition has lived on as
a lavish party and celebrates the
fall harvest in the Bundesland.
In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places
but mainly in the big city of
Munich located in the southern
province of Bavaria.
The cultural event happens
when the people set up nine huge
tents, holding about 10,000 people
each and having an authentic
twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and
visitors from around the world.
A variety of different beers are
served and traditional attire is
worn to signify the history of the
region.
CSUSM's Oktoberfest was
an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director
Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine.
of ASI cultural events, and Jen
Kitter, director of annual events.
"The event was successful and
fed CSUSM students at the rate
of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates
per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks,
sauerkraut and fried onions were
also served.
"If you missed the event, ASI
has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait
until next year," said Schroder.
Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI.

Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und
BY ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Lunafest is a traveling film
festival that features movies and
short films created by, for and
about women. Cal State San
Marcos got two chances to catch
the Lunafest this year, once on
October 8 and October 9.
Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is
presently an active sponsor of the
Breast Cancer Awareness Fund.
Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a
more appropriate time to have the
festival.
The makers of the Luna-bar,
Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of
Clif Bar Inc.
The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good
Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black
Boot", "Wet Dreams and False
Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La
Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted".
The Breast Cancer Awareness
Fund is a nonprofit organization
focused on identifying the
causes of breast cancer
and preventing the disease. Cures for breast
cancer can vary but the
extreme involves removing the breast.
Portions of the profits from
ticket sales go to the Breast
Cancer Fund. The first ever
Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001.
Although, last year $21,500 was
raised.
The next stop for the Lunafest
is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip
across the U.S.
Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to
Boston and
even Canada.
The Lunabar also
sponsors
other
groups
such as the
Luna Chix,
the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
"Friday NightLights"
starring Billy Bob
Thornton was released
last week and j ust like
every other sports
movie that comes out, I
j ust had to see it.
There have been quite
I a few sports movies that
have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game"
with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with
Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those
guys but they don't belong on the field
trying to imitate athletes.
Actors trying to play coaches hasn't
exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask
A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which
was not one of his greatest performances.
So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was
going to play the part of head coach Gary
Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have
the best feeling.
However, Billy Bob did not disappoint
in this role. He played the role of the head
coach of the Permian High Panthers in the
small town of Odessa, Texas.
Permian high was profiled in an issue
of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the
story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in
the Texas state football championship.
In small towns of Texas, high school
football is everything to the people. The
entire town shuts down on Friday nights
so that everyone can catch the game.
With so much focus on the sport, the
student athletes and coaches feel the pres-
DEGREE
sure to perform.
The star running back for the Panthers
was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke)
who had his ticket written to pretty much
any college until he got hurt the first game
of the season with a knee injury. Boobie
felt so much pressure that he tried to come
back too early and he f urther injured his
knee.
Many kids who play football feel extra
pressure because their dads were great
football players and such was the case of
Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by
Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by
country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his
father for not living up to what his father
accomplished when he played football.
For some kids in these small towns their
only ticket out is through football and
such was the case for quarterback Mike
Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter
the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced
to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of
him at the beginning of the season.
The story of Coach Gaines is then
intertwined with those young kids showing that the athletes aren't the only ones
who have to overcome a lot of pressure
and expectations.
This story is a story that the non sports
fan will even enjoy as it is more a story
about people and their shortcomings that
they can overcome with perseverance.
If you have any praise, criticism or
topics for discussion then send me an Email to Sando026@csusm.edu

�Is Mother Nature a Democrat or Republican?
FROM THE RIGHT
Mother Nature
loves you. If you
think about it,
she's pretty damn
tolerant.
People
litter the world
with their trash
and pollute the air
Polly
Charoenkwanchai around them, yet
she is constantly
attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We
assume that she can do this fast enough
to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily
threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life
of a student, there is little or no time to
think about the environment.
Most of us are hypocrites. We say we
care about the nature of the world while
almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22!
I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska,
but I love my little Honda Civic which
consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down
beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing
their habitat, but that doesn't make me
want to walk to work.
So what is the solution?
Should we forgo cars and live off the
land? I believe that there are little things
people can do to help Mother Nature
help us:
Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually
everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt
to walk the extra eight steps to dispose
your garbage.
Carpool. It saves money, it helps the
environment and you have your own
specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your
destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike
if you live in San Marcos and work in
Poway, but you can certainly bike to the
market down the block. Once again, it
saves money, it helps the environment
and provides great exercise.
You know those trashcans that are
specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are
cans that help people recycle. They're
all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to
figure out where you should dump your
soda can. Recycling allows less trash to
be sent to the landfills, thereby saving
natural resources such as trees, oil and
aluminum.
The Bush administration passed a
Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts
air pollution by installing new pollution,
control that will regulate major factory
upgrades. This act would work if they did
not also propose a revision to the rules
called the New Source Review, which
would make it simple for these plants to
find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies.
This administration has also proposed
to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national
forest, thereby allowing logging on more
open land. The Bush administration has
consistently proposed laws that hurt the
environment.
Although
Kerry has had
his share of
blemishes (he
voted against
the
maintenance of forest
road
service
and
wildlife
habitat
programs),
but
he is endorsed
by the Sierra
Club, a national
e nvironmental organization. Kerry has
voted to protect California
deserts. He has
proposed
to
end commercial whaling and illegal trading
on whale meat. Kerry has voted
repeatedly to block oil drilling
in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge).
Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we
do something to help the precious and fragile condition of
the earth. Whether your course
of action leads you to the voting
booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities
towards Mother Nature before
it's too late.
Some days at
CSUSM I feel like
the lone buoy of
moderate conservatism floating in
a sea of radical liberals:
professors
preach the futility
Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq —
and regime change
in November ~ f rom their classroom
pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal
group on campus and Kerry buttons on
back packs appear to outnumber Bush
buttons at least a thousand to one.
But I never feel
alone when it comes to
environmental issues.
I, too, have a fondness
for clean air and water
and space for wildlife. I recycle what I
can on campus, and
curbside at my house
(paper, plastic, glass,
aluminum, and clean
greens). I quit commuting to reduce my
car's emissions (and
my stress level). I ride
my scooter to work
when the weather's
Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride
nice to save energy. And I'm religious
about turning off lights and keeping my
water use to a minimum.
It warms the cockles of my heart to
see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool
spaces in our parking lots, but I've also
seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage,
garbage left for someone else to pick up,
and students being dropped off in front
of Craven by family or friends rather
than being inconvenienced by public
transportation.
One of my biggest on-campus pet
peeves is those among us who use the
electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's
probably not a huge amount of wasted
electricity, and I have no argument if
your hands are f ull or you really do have
trouble opening a door for yourself, but
I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear
to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience.
How each of us chooses to treat the
environment is something that can't be
legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the
state can mandate that the school recycles
a certain volume of refuse, but unless
you choose to put your recyclables into
the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream.
You're also the only one who can
choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste
~ take care of your clothes so they last
longer, and bring a reusable mug with
you to pour your organically grown
coffee in. The government can legislate
lower emissions for cars, but you're the
one who controls what manufacturers
offer based on what cars you buy. And
legislation is useless when it comes to
whether or not you choose to alter your
lifestyle in order to reduce the number of
miles you drive each year, or whether or
not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest
in companies that treat the environment
(and their workers) well.
Who would you rather have r unning a
major corporation: a person whose only
motivation for corporate responsibility
is legislated, or a person who believes in
the principal of personal responsibility
and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business?

�Dear Editor,
I'm sure you all know but
in case you don't October
18th-21st are the dates for
the voting for the Childcare
Services Fee Referendum
to keep the Early Learning
Center open. The Early
Learning Center is CSUSM's
answer for childcare for
student parents.
I know there are many of
you out there who would like
to vote no because you don't
want to pay for something
you are not going to use. I
understand that, however
many of us pay for fees here
we don't use, books we don't
read, a parking structure
we will never see. This ten
dollars is at least going to
a humanitarian cause: the
education of children.
The Early Learning Center
enables many parents the
ability to continue their
education to provide a
better life for their children,
provides childcare to CSUSM
faculty & the community, as
well as provides internships,
employment opportunities
and more. It is a wonderful
program. As you could guess,
I am a student parent; my
daughter Madison age three
has attended the "school" as
she calls it, for a little over a
year and she loves it. In that
time, she has become potty
trained, learned toridea
tricycle, can count to twenty,
is recognizing numbers, is
learning to write her name,
and is learning valuable social
skills. She would have met
these milestones eventually
but I know that they have
been met sooner and with
more understanding with
the love and support of the
ELC staff behind her. I really
hope students realize that this
is not about ten more little
dollars (it's only two or three
Starbucks©), but it's about
the big picture and as cheesy
as it sounds, children are our
future.
The children who attend
the center might be only
between the ages of 2 and
5 but they still care about
their school. If the vote
doesn't pass the ELC will
be forced to close its doors.
How awful would that be for
this to be these children's
first educational experience;
a school they have been so
comfortable in and have
grown to love being closed
because CSUSM couldn't
fit it in their budget. Please
do therightthing for these
children, please protect their
school, please protect their
teacher's jobs, please vote yes
and encourage others to do so.

Dear pride/editor:
For the last weeks it seems
that all you write about is
Michael Moore.When the
controversy began there were
even four more pages of the
edition. I want to know who
makes the decision on what
to write. AtfirstI thought that
the writters only wrote about
events that gave out free food.
There was a report about the
president's pick-nick and
the recycling thing, both
events gave out free food.
But between those two events
there was another event that
gave free food but there was
nothing written about it.
Maybe it was because it was
a celebration of the Mexican
independence day. Or maybe
it was because MEChA was
an organizer of that event. I
do not know the answer but I
thought that a cultural event
that included dance and poetry
would be something to be
reported about, but it was not
the case. This week we have
some more Michael Moore
news, and I bet that next week
there will be some more.
There was another event that
I think was important but
the Pride did not take into
consideration writting about
it. This event was announced
the universtity's home page.
I'm referring to Preview Day
which was held last Saturday
here on campus. It is the first
year that this event takes place
here and it was organized
by the University Outreach
and Recruitment. There were
many people that worked hard
to put this event together and
again the Pride didn't write
about it. Thank you for your
time.

for Cake:
Pressure Chief
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA
Pride Staff Writer
M
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Pride Staff Writer
Any man daring enough to
wear pink is alright in my book.
So imagine my intrigue when
picking up Cake's latest album
Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were
covered in vintage-inspired pink
decals.
Pressure Chief is by far Cake's
most eclectic album yet. The
band stretches the genre of ska to
its fullest extent by including so
many things not typically heard
in the alternative rock category.
There are trumpets galore,
mostly present in the first song
"Wheels" but they're used
throughout the entire album. The
banjo is prominent in "End of the
Movie" to convey the mood of an
old picture.
Overall, this album is so
diverse that you really need to
listen to every song to get the feel
of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic
than the last and everything just
works well together.
"No Phone" is the second track
and is headlining the record. It's
very much electronica-inspired
and has the catchiest tune out of
a Cinderella story with a modern
twist, Prince Charming was a

Police officer Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) flags down a taxi.
'Fare'ly awful
BY RYAN JAMES
Pride Staff Writer
Saturday Night Live is a hit,
but we can't say the same thing
for Jimmy Fallon's acting career.
The lead role of police officer
Washburn is played by Fallon.
Washburn is striving to please
his police officer father by being
a prestigious upholder of the law.
In his attempts to obtain this
dream, Washburn encounters
many obstacles, the number one
obstacle being his phobia of driving.
"Taxi" opens with Washburn
in undercover attire blowing
a case and then proceeding to
wreck a squad car, an aspect he is
known for among his force. He
then becomes the laughing stock
of the NYPD due to a newspaper
cover story of his idiocy.
Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant
Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes
his driver license and sends him
walking. While walking home a
bank robbery in progress is called
into Washburn's radio. Quick to
redeem himself Washburn flags
down a taxi, but not just any taxi,
the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on
an ongoing pursuit of a gang of
four beautiful Brazilian models,
I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret
model Gisele Bundchen.
When we as viewers go to
see movies like "Taxi" we don't
expect to see the greatest movie
ever, but we do expect to get
some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment.
While I did have the occasional
laugh, it was short, and usually
inspired by Belle, not our leading
man Washburn. Queen Latifah's
role of Belle and even the role
of Washburns drunkard mother
(Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie
lacks the one- liners that make
comedies successful. While a
fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to
cross over his comedic act on to
the big screen. I do not recommend this movie.
Taxi driver Belle (Queen Latifah) argues with Police officer Washburn (Fallon)

The Italian translation of
"grappa" literally stands for
grape pomace acquavite: "water

It used to be considered a poor
man's drink. However, during
the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology
and v ast improvements in wine
production all contributed to the
reincarnation of grappa which is
now known to be an elegant Italian brandy. Grappa, the restaurant, serves grappa f rom $7- $18

coupons for Grappa inside Clipper magazine. Grappa contains
a f ull bar and happy hour is held
from 4-7p.m. daily. Grappa also
provides f ree Internet service
while you dine. All you have to
do is bring in your laptop and
they'll provide you with WiFi.
Grappa has a great environment for all to enjoy a nice f ulfilling and refreshing meal either
inside or outside on the patio. The
servers provide excellent service
to ensure that you are more than
satisfied with your meal.
"Grappa has a great atmosphere," said server Danielle
Trombi, "and I truly enjoy serving all the different people who
come in."
Their extensive menu consists
of golden fried zucchini served
with marinara sauce, antipasto
and a wonderful platter of golden

and parmesan french f ries. They
also serve salads, soups, sandwiches/panini, pastas, rotisserie
and a variety of meals off the

Vandalism forces Lounge closure Dorm
BY K YLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
A fter an incident of suspected
vandalism involving a damaged
couch last Monday, ASI closed
the student lounge Tuesday
morning, reopening it Friday
on an ASI board decision to
establish a formal Student
Lounge Committee.
ASI Vice President of External
A ffairs Erik Roper said of the
damage, "It looks like a k nife

It looks like someone

ASI addressed the issue in its

saying, "It was more than likely

Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says,
"Many students use our services
to t alk about past concerns, such
as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e
a ffecting them now.... You name
it, and w e'll work with it."
Although there isn't anywhere
closer for students to go, SHS
will o ften bring special events
and presentations to the campus.
Support groups are also available.
While the recent f ee increase
couldn't b ring SHS onto the
campus immediately, it has
helped the counseling department.
"It is likely that the fee increase
will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely
needed," said Kreisler. " In addition, the health facilities fee will

LK member Royce Finlayson

Roper responded to such
sentiment in the board meeting,
saying, "I hope that the people

think that this is a punishment

of individuals."
Poggi said concordantly, "My
experience with them is that

I would certainly
disagree that they're being

In an amicable concession
among Lounge Krew members
and ASI VP of finance Crystal
Folk, a formal Student Lounge

Friday's board meeting, to be
chaired by LK member Michael

Dr. K addressed the board
with a motion to activate the

ASI President Honey Folk

saying, "This board has a

�VARIETY
Students balancing parenting
and higher education
BY MICHELLE V ELARDE
Pride Staff Writer
They look like typical college
students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend
hours in the library, hunched
over a computer, researching for
reports. They complain about the
b rutal commute they face every
morning on the freeways of San
Diego County.
These students, however, have
a d ifferent situation—they are
parents as well as students.
Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse
group. It is impossible to make
generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell.
D oing it all: the world of a
single mother
Claudia Pawlowski, biology
major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair
swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and
on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is
nowhere close to being over.
Every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, Claudia wakes up
early to take her nine-year-old
daughter to school. A fterwards,
she drives f rom El Cajon to San
Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class.
"Everything is on the go," she
said. "My life is overwhelming."
When her school day ends
in the evening, Claudia then
travels to hospitals throughout
San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night
observing people with sleeping
disorders, while she herself only
sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day.
Claudia's mother helps her
raise her daughter, but Claudia
said that most of the work falls on
her own shoulders. She said that
being a single parent means that
she needs to b e her daughter's
"mom, dad, brother and sister."
Her responsibility as a parent
o ften means that school is
extremely difficult. "Getting
an A is almost impossible," she
said. "We both have homework
together." She recalled a time
when her daughter had a science
project due the next day, and she
herself had three assignments to
finish.
Even though continuing her
education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she

Now, he finds himself back

" My attitude has changed since

more focused on my education
now t han I probably was back

"Being a father, and having

"Being a parent makes you a

Pride Ombudsman
I t hink last week's issue of T he
Pride is a sufficient example of
the solidification of a semester's
worth of work. There is a f eeling
of maturation as we come into
the final issues of the semester
with a good balance of content
and a refined process of p utting
the paper together. I feel we are
moving in the right direction:
what do you feel?
I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's
article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but
I did not receive a word on this
article. In the past, readers have
expressed concern over articles
that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e.
the penis pump and the sex doll
articles), yet criticism connected
with Spink's article has b een
nonexistent.
Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually
attended the event, I would say
that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am
confident that the f ew h undred
other people in attendance would
agree with me. I can u nderstand
if there were some a ffronted b y
such a workshop; however, the
pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in
humans w arrants t he necessity of
education on the matter. T hus, I
feel the event was suitable f or our
campus and the related article
does not t arnish our image.
What do you t hink? My e -mail

"Holy
Generic
Hardcore
Batman!"
Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound
Ever," proves there are too many
generic hardcore bands trying to
make it big.
Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that
follow formulaic song structures,
and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of
heavy breakdowns, emotionless
choruses, and nonexistent melodies.
The third track entitled
"MRSA in Minor," includes a
guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be
recorded, ever.
The vocals are lackluster and
fail to convey the deep lyrical
content that sparks emotion in
the heart of every hardcore fan.
Single tear.
Listeners will find relief in
the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick
drum and fast fills, breathe some
life into the album.
The inability to obtain any
information about the band
f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less
appealing. The boys in Grace
Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some
time on the production of their
next album if they want to "make
i t" in the world of hardcore.
Although it failed to catch the
attention of this critic, it may be
of interest to fans of Norma Jean,
Poison The Well, Iron Maiden
and Converge.

band or album reviewed, contact

Parents of students from the Early Learning Center (ELC) preschool gathered in the Clarke Field House, Friday March 19, to discuss with ASI officers the closing of their children's school.
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's
proposed $324,000
annual
budget,
according to Honey
Folk, ASI executive
president and CEO.
Each
CSUSM
student pays $50 per
semester to ASI. Lura
Poggi, ASI executive
director, said that
currently 13 percent
of the $50 student
fee pays for the Early
Learning Center and
that ASI revenues
might fall between
10 to 12 percent next
year with the budget
cuts that are currently
taking place.

Deep in the heart of the
chaotic medieval age are the
tales forged of the dungeon
master,
mythic
gods,
powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant
princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy
assassin lurking in the black of night outside a
raucous tavern.
The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and
keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm
among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games.
Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in
mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the
intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the
wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by
each, if one should dare.
Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless
journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds
of the mind.
The dungeon master
The essence of the role-playing game is found
in the heart and mind of any player who joins the
"campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated
by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master
(GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm
he has created, narrating the events that set the stage
for player interaction. As the DM tells the story,
player characters (PCs) are free to interact with
their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as
they choose, confined only by their own characters'
abilities.
Players adopt the roles of characters such as
warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning
them personal traits such as strength and
intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor,
spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them
with backgrounds and personalities, to be played
accordingly.
Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform
DM's and players as to how their game should be
run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the
uncertainties of game experiences, "character
sheets" that record the statistics of their characters
and sometimes maps of the lands they explore.
No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners
or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the
thrill of evolving into the hero you have always
dreamed you could become.
Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or
living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their
creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)
enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of
total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's
graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and
his gaming companion and master's colleague,
Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise,
employing formulas to recreate the quantitative
game mechanics.
"We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to
his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity
of D&D.
Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread
their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon,"
a garage adorned with black and grey sheets
mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords
and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes

Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included
Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of
Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State
Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs
and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years.
The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in
2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February
2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong
sustainability policy" in 2003.
Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student
representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose
overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees.
In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report,
Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the
CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including:
No commitment to any specific percent of renewable
energy to be used in the future.
No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability
standards.
In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf
of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including:
Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to
obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable
sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024.
Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines
developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC).
Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be
reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024.
Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct,
operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according
to CSSC figures.
Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said.
Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy
would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions
of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts
- what better time for students to be active and try to save
us money?"

ELC, began the open forum discussion by
asserting that over the five years that she
has been bringing her children to the ELC,
funding has never been an issue until now.
"I think that is because ASI has always
been aware that to meet their needs, they
needed to have a daycare center," Barker
said.
"Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools
have daycare," Barker added, "This is
because those schools have ASI members
who are in tune with the importance of
meeting basic needs for their students."
Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up
their education due to the lack of daycare.
One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that
she only has four classes left, which makes
next semester her last. If ASI decides to
close down the ELC she will have to quit
before her last semester.
"There is no other childcare that I trust,"
Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after
coming this far? To give up a career that
will provide a good future for my child."
Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost
of items budget.
"I noticed that only two items have gone
up (in price), since 1998, while all other
items have gone down," Christine said.
Folk explained that the problem is not
that prices per item are going up, but
rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has
already been made and that with all of the
cuts, including cutting all food costs for the
ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000.
ASI is currently working to get grants
to build a new early learning center that
would be affiliated with the College of
Education. Which, Poggi says would still
not be able to open until at least 2007.
To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may
decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi
explained that they seemed interested and
that they were scheduled to tour ELC later
that day to talk in more detail about taking
over the preschool.
Questions were brought up as to whether
or not the ELC would keep their staff,
and if the program would stay the same
or change. Poggi said that she would
need more information before having the
answers to those questions.
Before voting unanimously to table the
issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board
members promised the parents another
chance to have a meeting solely on the sub-
ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk
explained that this date will be discussed
by ASI and will be available 72 hours
before the scheduled meeting.
The Early Learning Center is one of the
few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM.
According to a handout supplied by ASI,
the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per
day for full-time care and $16 per day for
part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time
care and $20 per day for part-time care.
If ELC is closed the nearest childcare
facility is Discovery Isle, which is located
behind Ralph's shopping center across
from campus.
A representative from Discovery Isle
said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum
of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children
between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade
and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

Benji Master and Andrew Lees study hard for a role-playing game on Saturday with each other.
GAMERS
such as fighters and magic users,
to be cast into an established
environment, conquering foes in
order to complete quests.
Michael Nguyen, computer
science major, and Chris Miranda,
biochemistry major, play Final
Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles,
in which they travel from their
home village, which they named
"CSUSM," to a multitude of
others, protecting them from
"The Mist," which mysteriously
threatens them.
Nguyen plays in some online
groups and with Lounge Krew
members regularly.
"I notice if I don't play games,
I kind of do badly in school, with
nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen
said.
A small society of sorts, LK is
a group of about 50 friends, each
bearing a "Krew name," such as
"Profe," Erik Sager, psychology
sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and
Dr. K.
One member, "Beau," freestyle
raps a routine incorporating all 54
"official" LK names, representing
on karaoke days featured in the
lounge, provided by ASI.
On a near-daily basis, one of the
Krew brings in a game system of
some kind, such as the Playstation
2, Gamecube, or X-Box.
The Lounge Krew said they
no longer take advantage of the
outdated arcades in the lounge,
as one LK member, who preferred
to remain anonymous, asked,
"Why? We've got the games that
we wish they had, that we want to
play. If they had the right video
games, they'd make money."
LKisoutsiderinclusive,however
communal their membership may
be. "Everybody's accepted in
here, cause we're all different
and crazy," said the same student.
"It's kind of like a fraternity or
sorority, where you get to meet
people. Some people come here
that don't even go to school here."
Sager said, "What are you going
to do for like two hours between
classes? Sit outside and not talk
to anybody - smoking, doing
nothing."
Reflecting on the potluck
Thanksgiving LK celebrated
together last year, Nguyen said,
"We're like a big family here."
Joint said he would join a gaming lounge in the commons building,

people play cards would actually
become a televised event? Well,
ESPN had the vision. ESPN
annually broadcasts the world
series of poker which showed last
years champion winning a pot of
over $2.5 million. TV stations
take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards
and by having commentators call
the play by play on the action.
Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit
Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such
as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen,
Coolio, and eventual champion
Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant
was playing for charity which
resulted in winners taking home
a share of the $250,000 pot. To
capitalize on the recent craze of
poker, Bravo will host another
celebrity hold'em tourney later
in the year.
Anyone, even celebrities, can
learn to play poker well. What
most people do not realize is
that poker is actually a game
of skill and not just complete
luck. Professional poker players
have cashed in on their success
by writing books such as "The
Theory of Poker" and "Super
System." Those books can give
some insight on what to do
in certain situations of poker
games, rather than just going
with gut feelings.
The interest in poker on TV
is questionable to many people
because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or
playing poker is more like reality
TV than "survivor" or "the real
world." The human element is
an enjoyable part of the game.
In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and
hope; all of which are a huge part
of everyday life. Every poker
player experiences those words
while playing poker and it is
quite exciting to see what happens next.
So, if you are just looking for
something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make
some extra money just shuffle up
and deal.

Last semester Cal State San Marcos
had to limit enrollment, which caused less
money to flow into the system. Programs
like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend
on that money to keep running. With the
lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their
$1.2 million budget.
Even after ASI's board members
made cuts, their budget was still over by
$350,000.
Their solution: cut funding to the
Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55
families send their children every week.
At the ELC young children, ages two to
six, learn the values of love, compassion,
and etiquette. The Early Learning Center
is cheaper than most preschools, and
more flexible with schedules. The ELC
also provides opportunities for education
students with valuable work experience.
Students and teachers both depend on the
Early Learning Center.
And the ELC depends on Cal State
students to help them with funding. Of the
$324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next
year, students would pay about $106,374.
the
54 per semester
That equals out to about 6.4 percent of
their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per
semester. To keep the ELC alive next
semester it would take another $3.75 a
semester per student.
That's a cheap price to help raise more
than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing
the options setting our priorities, and
making decisions.
ASI makes those decisions. Losing the
ELC should not be an option.
The issue of the ELC is a mirror of
what's happening in the Cal State system.
the shutdown of Educational Opportunity
Programs. ASI vehemently protested
against this.
Now it's their turn. With the vitality of
the Early Learning Center in their hold,
will they follow the governor and just cut
it, or will they accept their responsibility to
provide for their students?
ASI needs tofinda way to keep the Early
Learning Center alive.

Rom the pump, or
from the utter?
By JASON
ROBBINS
Pride StaffWriter
For $2.17 per gallon you should
be able to swim in the gasoline
before it spews into your pollution-monster on wheels. Butterfly
stroke or no, that painful number
represents the average price of
gas in North County as reported
by the North County Times.
An initial reaction to this situation may be to wonder why prices
are so high. Through a calm
investigation of the Internet, I
uncovered three possible factors:
A rising cost of crude oil, uncertainty about crises in the Middle
East and Venezuela, and the fact
that an unusual amount of oil
B EER N UTS
refineries have been shutdown for
repair. Sounds good to me. But
unfortunately, it probably doesn't
matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds;
for we just have to keep on pumping. Right?
So instead of grieving over
high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I
want to determine which product
is the more cost-efficient fuel.
Both goods are primarily sold by
the gallon, and lately, both hover
around the same price. But which
one prevails in a cost/benefit
analysis? Let'sfindout.
A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for
an average price of $2.17. Now
let's select an average car to fuel
up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is
suitable. Honda reports that this
model gets 38 miles per gallon. A
pride

Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical
examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient.
simple mathematical computation
reveals that for every $2.17 we
spend on gas, we get to travel 38
miles. Not bad.4
A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about
$3.50. The label on back of a
one-gallon milk container (one
percent milk) reveals that there
are 120 calories in each serving.
Since a gallon-sized container
contains 16 servings, drinking a
gallon of this type of milk would
dump a total of 1920 calories into
your body.
Now let's select an average
person to fuel up with milk.
According to an online Activity
Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound
person running 6 MPH (10
minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon
of milk (1920 calories) would
enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and
% hours. During this amount of
time, our average person (running
6MPH) would travel 16 miles.
These calculations mean that for
every $3.50 we spend on a gallon
of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out
of our hypothetical person.
Luckily we do not need to
perform any more mathematical
computations to conclude which
product is the more cost-efficient
fuel. A gallon of gasoline is
cheaper than milk and it enables
us to travel further. I suggest
reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results
decree that gasoline deserves our
unconditional support. It is so
affirmed.

Last Wednesday, the staff of
The Pride came out to Founders Plaza in an effort to bring
the paper to the students and
to recruit for the Pride Literary
Supplement The overall consensus of the affair was positive;
many students demonstrated
genuine interest in The Pride and
die Pride Literary Supplement,
where students can get their artwork published for free.
However* a student refused a
copy of the paper based on the
observation, in her own words,
that Hie Pride is "too slanted/'
This made me think.
If the definition of the word
"slanted" is intending to affiliate
us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is
not "slanted/* I feel we could
remove any doubt by engaging in
a more in depth reporting style.
For example, if we are reporting a
storywith any political overtones,
then the reporter must interview
both sides of the issue: a simple
task considering such groups as
the Progressive Activist Network
and the College Republicans are
both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most
political issues. Something as
simple as that would balance any
perceived slant in our political
coverage.

component here that may be mis-
interpreted by some. That is the as journalists.

m esmerworld of
' Varekai'
No words can describe the emotions that arise while all
sense of hearing is being drowned out by the sound effects
of a cave man smashing a bug, splat, squish, quack, first
using him as a tennis ball, donk, donk, donk, and then
kicking the poor bug out of the ball park, whack!
Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven
eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on
through the various levels of the stage. There are flying
people being lowered down from the sky, others popping
up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on
front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel
poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head.
The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing
another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration
of the simultaneous claps of the crowd.
The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the
premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the
Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began
its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4.
The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest
where an extraordinary world exists. A world called
Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever"
and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can
happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest
imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai.
The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a
chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out,
including a cave man character that is always trying to
invent things.
Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music
changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing
softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures.
The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider

him dead until his performance begins. He is lifted into
the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in
mid-air with the net as his partner.
There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls
in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of
Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles
which will not let them be together.
The next several acts that follow are both amazing and
unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are
dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic
make-up detail.
Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they
place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions
on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo
or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal-
ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different
sized items at a time.
The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the
sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the
most capable contortionist in the show.
The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body.
Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the
final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men
swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge
white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another
man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and
orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper
fly down throughout the entire audience.

Plan to move
childcare center
on campus
By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ
Pride StaffWriter
Four weeks ago, Interim President, Roy
McTarnaghan gave the go ahead to the
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) to bring
to him a clear business plan for a new
building, tentatively called "The Center
for Children and Families," which will
house the Early Learning Center (ELC).
The ELC is a daycare center run by
ASI providing inexpensive and easily
accessible childcare for CSUSM students and members of the community.
New buildings added to the campus like
the Clarke Field House/University Student
Union, the University Village apartments
and the Kellogg Library, changed the
landscape and have expanded campus life.
The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled
before the end of the semester so that
it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office.
The ELC is currently located offcampus
at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos.
"Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we
have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus.
We recently have been told that there will
be space (available) here on campus," said
Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI.
According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are
under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services
building where the University Police
are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building.
Plans for the new facility include longer
business hours, to better accommodate
student schedules, and an expansion of
services, to include children in infancy to
after school programs for older children.
At present the ELC is licensed
for only 48 children and provides

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness
By DANIELLE BOLDT
Pride StafFWriter
In the spirit of Campus Equity
Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty,
staff and students came together to
voice their concerns at a campus
rally. In effort to raise awareness
about higher education, Coalition
of Contingent Academic Labor and
the California Faculty Association
(CFA) organized a petition-signing
to "Save classes/Save our teachers."
The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California
State University (CSU) system has
negatively impacted higher education.
The CSU administration has
failed to meet the guidelines of the
Supplemental Report Language
(SRL), that the CSU will "ensure
the quality and availability of CSU
class offerings, student services,
and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4).
Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent
faculty and students, the Cal State
See CFA, page 2
"The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University
Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens.
Students who come to the bookstore in
hopes of purchasing a class schedule will
be told of the change. Students are told to
direct any comments on the new accepted
format for the class schedules to the Office
ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201.
Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring
semester, there is a Registration Guide
and Catalog Addendum available at
the bookstore. The addendum only
includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

community has attempted to collect
over 10,000 signatures in a petition
to reverse reductions in lecturer
jobs and classes. The hope is that
Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse
the petition, with the need to "Save
our classes/save our teachers."
"We are here, on behalf of the
students," said Tasha Iglesias,
education major and CFA intern
for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped
lead the student voice concerning
the petition.
Iglesias shared her concern that
many students are ignorant to what
they are signing. With music and
free food available (at the rally),
most students are willing to sign
anything. At the same time, it came
"as a comfort that "some students
were skeptical, and asked lots of
questions about the petition."
The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU
administration has implemented
budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds
of contingent faculty (statewide),
and in turn, directly affecting the
students' education, the outcome
has not gone unnoticed. From
crowded and unavailable classes to
the limited office hours of faculty,
students are faced with limitations,
making it more difficult to graduate
on time.
"This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student
learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and
CFA representative for Cal State
Long Beach.
It is the hope that a week of
campus equity will reap enough
signatures and support from the
CSU community to send the petition to legislature.
Iglesias said that over the past
several weeks the CFA, student
organizations such as Lobby Corps,
ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN
(Women's Studies) have worked to
achieve their goal.
Iglesias said, "We have sent out
bundles of invitations, crashed
classes, and handed out information
regarding campus equity week and
the petition signing."
"That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is
needed (at the University). The
faculty needs to nourish students,
and in turn, the university needs to
support the faculty."

care for children between the ages of 2
through 5. The new facility could allow
potentially hundreds of children to register.
ASI has been working in conjunction with
the College of Education to plan the programs
to be implemented in the new facility. The
intention of both groups is to provide not
only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could
attain in class experience right here on campus.
"We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim
Associate Dean in the College of Education.
"I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to
education and that is the primary mission
of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk.
In the university's mission statement the
promise to meet the needs of its students is
explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services
that responds to the needs of a student body
with diverse backgrounds expanding student
access to an excellent and affordable education."
In this time of financial crisis
the issue of funding is looming.
"ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt.
The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs.
Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline
outlining projections for each step; Fall
2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004,
secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete.
This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed
facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high
level of enthusiasm and interest from donors."
Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is
all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings."
"We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said
Barsky. After students become comfortable
with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes
that it will increase communication on campus.
An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in
degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

�Meeting ohfourhe mwinds:
t unites orld travlers
coffee
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
Tuesday,
November
11, 2003 ended this
semester's gathering of
the International Coffee
Club by welcoming
International students who
were studying overseas.
The good-bye offered a
special panel discussion
with faculty, staff, and
students discussing topics
including: what motivated
the students in deciding to
study overseas, what they
learned while overseas, and
cultural differences they
had to adapt.
Yoko Suzuki, a junior
and Japanese native is
majoring in sociology.
She spoke of her positive
experiences with the
educational system. "It's
the best system compared
to the rest of the world.
America is the only place
where no matter what your
age group you can still go
to school and get a degree.
In other parts of the world,
this is not possible."
When - Suzki was
in Japan she took her
traditions for granted. Now
in the United States, she is
more aware of her customs,
which allows her to feel
more independent and selfconfident as she must make
decisions without close
guidance from her family.
She loves the support her
family gives her as well as
her fellow classmates and
professors.
Samson Manickarej,
from India, agreed
with Suzuki about the
high quality of United
States education system.
Manickarej, a computer
science major is very in tune
with his culture and smiles
when he discusses how his
stay in America enabled
him to see his homeland
differently. He compared
America to a melting pot or
"internationalmarket where
everyone is welcomed."
His classmates, loved ones,
arid professors support
him. His one wish is that
more students travel abroad
to experience a world
different from their own
and get a perspective of
what it is like to be in a
foreign country.
Kim Quinney is a history
professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her
passion for world travel
is to research her family
roots.
Scott Greenwood, a
professor of political
science visibly enjoyed his
discussion about his time
spent in Jordan studying
Arabic. Terry Allison
discussed his experience
while in France. He said
the younger generation
loves everything about
the western culture from
its fashion to hip-hop.
The older generation does
not approve of this trend
and find that the youth
are displacing their rich
heritage.
Students and professors
alike had a wealth of
information to share with
faculty, staff, and students.
The quality of the United
States education system
continued to resurface.
Having the opportunity
to study abroad changed
their lives from an
educational standpoint and
touched and changed their
personal lives.

mountain driving. The resort opened with
three trails and three lifts. The Upper
Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser
contain up to 12" of snow with some
obstacles on the way down.
The runs are equipped with fun boxes
and rails for snowboarders and skiers to
challenge on their way down the slope.
The snow is thin, but it's only November.
There is plenty of winter for snow to build
up on the ground. Mountain High is open
from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8:
00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding
everyday from 5:00-10:00pm.
Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and
Snow Summit merging, has also begun
the winter season. Big Bear has between
6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park
known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps
and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day
on the mountain.
Bear has also opened Big Bear Express
for the snowboarder or skier seeking to
test their carving or cutting abilities on the
snow. The season should bring more snow
to the mountain to help keep your board or
ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear
is open Monday through Friday from 8:
30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday
from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to
spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has
half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm.
If you are willing to take a longer drive,
Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the
largest resort in Southern California, is a
thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has
2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole
lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open
and the Gondola has opened as of Friday,
November 14.
Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain
Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps
and jibs that will put your stomach in your
throat. The park is also equipped with the
super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but
will open soon to give the greatest riding
experience.
For the new snowboarder or skier that
does not understand the above language,
it's time to learn. Check out one of the local
resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the
extreme before advancing on to Mammoth.
Both resorts offer lessons seven days a
week and private lessons. They also have
complete ski and snowboard rentals so you
can try it before you buy it.

Kaleidoscope of Sound
By LISA GEORGE
Pride StafifWriter
Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating
strains of melody. The power and driving
force behind 80 trained musicians directed
by a seasoned and energetic conductor
is what makes a symphony a memorable
experience. The South Coast Symphony
directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is
expected from a symphony.
Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for
Orange County," this finely tuned group of
musical magicians compliment a variety of
composers. Their powerful renditions of
"Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain,"
a brief sampling of the works presented
at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo
Friday, Nov. 14.
The resonant minor chords were backed
by thunderous timpani and other percussive
instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and
celebrations throughout the night seemed
to burst through the four walls and into the
surrounding city.
The setting at the Coast Hills church
provided two big screens through which a
camera man was projecting up close views
of the musicians and conductor throughout
the concert. This particular visual style
allowed for a big and little picture of the
energy evoked by the musicians through
their finely honed skills of musical creation.
Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald
Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato,
while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical
steel instrument producing a blended, yet
pronounced sound that added to the full
resonance created by the horns and violin
sections.
The selection of this night's performance

Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his

T h e V e r d i c t i s t it—
Runaway Jury
^
=
The suspenseful psychological
thriller, based on courtroom
novelist John Grisham's narrative,
contains an A-list cast and an
explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to
make this one of the best films of
the year.
This box-office success begins
with a bang — literally. Gun-toting
killers shoot up an office building,
creating a massacre, which leaves
11 dead.
The widowed wife of a
businessman brings a major civil
suit against the gun manufacturer
she feels is responsible for her
husband's death. With the
increasingly hostile public opinion
on guns, the powerful firearm
conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the
industry.
Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman,
a chivalrous lawyer who fuels
the case with his honest passion,
represents the widow. His
opponent speaks for the arrogant
gun corporation, behind which
stands a brilliant veteran jury
consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene
Hackman, who will stop at nothing
to ensure a verdict favoring the
firm.
Fitch stations his surveillance
team at a high tech center disguised
as a warehouse where they inspect
potential jurors in order to
strategically control the selection
of the jury.
However, the moralizing plaintiff
attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon
realize more is at stake when one
juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack,
and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel
Weisz, inform both attorneys that
the jury's for sale- for $10 million.
A dangerous game of cat and
mouse set in the French Quarter of
New Orleans proceeds.
Making up for the implausible
story is the extraordinary cast,
which works together in creating
a heated courtroom melodrama
beneath a background of
controversial issues.
The film is the first coupling
of screen legends Gene Hackman
and Dustin Hoffman, who form
a climax for the movie when the
two veterans battle it out in a tense
scene.
The movie struggles to overcome
major changes from the novel all
the while keeping the character
development and plot twists
distinctive of Grisham. The film
needlessly replaces the original
scenario targeting the tobacco
industry with a political debate on
gun manufacturers.
Although the characters' motives
are more transparent in the film, it
maintains the high level ofsuspense
from the tense courtroom novel.
Viewers unfamiliar with the
book will not predict director
Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls"
and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly
timed plot twists.
Fleder produces a tightly wound
thriller with his natural ability
to know exactly what audiences
will expect from the film, the
cast's impressive performance,
and the unique camera-like
cinematographic techniques.
The confrontation scenes and
equally heated political outcome
are enough to keep any moviegoer
on the edge of their seat.

Sixty-two graduate and
professional schools participated in CSUSM's 7th Annual
Graduate and Professional
School Fair at Founders Plaza
on October 23. From 10am
to 1pm, students were able to
speak with school representatives and collect college brochures and application materials.
"Students really like it.
It's a time when they can speak
informally with college recruiters with no worries about how
it will affect their recruitments," said Susan Buck,
CSUSM Career Counselor and
Graduate Fair Coordinator.
"It's a good opportunity to
spend a short period of time
gathering lots of information,"
added Sandy Punch, Director
of the Career and Assessment
Center.
Representatives
from
Tuskegee Institute attending
the fair mark the first time
that the campus was able get
a historically acknowledged
African-American college to
participate.
Punch and Buck both said
that for several years CSUSM
has invited predominately historical African-American colleges to participate in the fair;
however, this is the first year
they've been able to attend.
"It's very hard to draw colleges
that are historically AfricanAmerican. Most of the colleges are from the Midwest
and East " said Punch.
The university typically
invites CSU, UC, and nearby
state schools because demographics and student surveys
show that CSUSM students
tend to remain close to
Southern California.
CSUSM's Graduate Fair
is scheduled around a system-wide schedule that also
includes SDSU, UCSD and
Point Loma Nazarene. The
schools hold their fairs one
day this week. The schools
typically rotate fair days every
year so that the fairs are held
on different days of the week
each year.
Out of the 23 CSUs,
CSUSM is one of only seven
schools that host the fair.
After the fair, students
received information on how to
apply for graduate and professional schools during a workshop held in Commons 206.

"This Campus seems very
sterile to me," said Dean of
Students Jonathan Poullard when
asked about the state of free
speech on campus. Poullard is
currently sitting on the Campus
Committee for Free Speech,
Solicitation, and Distribution,
deciding, among other issues,
where to relocate the Free Speech,
area.
But the voice of students
seems so quiet that few know that
a Free Speech area already exists
at CSUSM. Yet, with the campus
and the surrounding areas developing as quickly as they are,
many believe that the community environment on campus will
soon change drastically, which
will affect both use and location
of the Free Speech area.
Dean Poullard says, "The
University is moving toward a
student-centered philosophy, and

No one could give confident
predictions on where the future

to be the grassy area near the

President Gonzalez noted
that, "Right now, our facilities
are so small that it's hard to
get five people together in the
Free Speech area. As the campus grows, it will probably shift
down by the stairs between the
library and the Caesar Chavez
statue."
"The space should be visible
and central, but not disruptive
to student traffic," said Dean
Poullard. Poullard also said that

"Being in college is like

Ramirez. Ramirez was one of
thirty students from Crawford
High School who had the opportunity to experience college life
at CSUSM on Thursday, October 19. The students were part of
CSUSM's Freshman for a Day
Program (FFAD). The program
works to "enrich and motivate
high school students who have
not been exposed to college life,"
according CSUSM's Outreach
and Recruitment, which coordinates the FFADProgram.
The high school students
began the day at 9am. They were
given a campus tour, learned
about admission requirements,
attended actual class lectures,
took notes and received class
assignments.

preparation for SAT's, and helps
students partake in college preparatory courses. Ramirez felt
that more students could benefit

Free Speech Area
» Contiimed from pg. 1
But Poullard said this should be
decided on by the committee by
the end of the semester.
In regard to the Free Speech
area, Deborah Smith, in CSUSM's
Office of Public Relations, states,
"As the university grows, where
it is now will not be a central
location, which is important for a
Free Speech area. Additionally,
it is important that this area be
easily accessible to and monitored by university police. We
don't want there to be any threat
of it getting out of control."
Lieutenant Bill McCullough
with the campus police, whose
duty it is to monitor the Free
Speech area, spoke of his 18
years of experience policing Los
Angeles State's Free Speech area,
citing vast differences of the Free
Speech area's usage on the two
campuses:
"Although I have seen L.A.'s
Free Speech area as the site of
physical confrontations between
groups ranging from the
Revolutionary Communist Youth
to supporters of the Ayatollah
Khomeini and the Moonies, I
think that this [CSUSM] is an
institution of higher learning and
that the creative exchange of ideas
is very important here. If someone is saying something offensive, you do not have to stand
there and listen to it. It is our
duty to insure not only the rights
of the listeners, but also those
of the speaker, and that*, a reasonable volume and level of safety is
adhered to."
Deborah Smith, commented
that "In public institutions, especially educational institutions,
Free Speech is seen as sacrosanct, but it cannot disrupt education."
However, aside from a few
complaints from professors last
semester concerning the minister's volume, disruption of education has been little threat given
the relative non-use of free speech
on campus.
ing the right of public school
students to wear black armbands
in protest of the Vietnam War. In
1989 (Texas v. Johnson) and again
in 1990 (U.S. v. Eichman), the
Court struck down government
bans on "flag desecration." Other
examples of protected symbolic
speech include works of art,
T-shirt slogans, political buttons,
musical lyrics and theatrical performances.
Dean Poullard, while wishing
to see more students exercise their
constitutional First Amendment
Are students apathetic?
The Free Speech area is sometimes utilized demurely by fraternities or random club activities,
but the marketplace of ideas was
untouched other than a Ralph
Nader support group this semester, and minister Jeb Smock last
spring. *
Student Karen Gibson noted,
"we are guaranteed Free Speech
by The First Amendment to the
Constitution, yet on the CSUSM
campus, there is little concern
that our voices will be silenced
by the institution's power because
we apathetically silence our own
voices."
In its 1969 decision in Tinker
v. Des Moines Independent
Community School DistrictT the
Supreme Court held that students in public schools do not
relinquish their First Amendment
rights once on campus, recogniz-
off-campus. This student's focus
is oh their family, getting to work,
getting to classes, finding their
advisor, finding a parking place,
getting off campus, and finishing
school - and not on a Free Speech
area and the issues raised or not
raised there," said Poullard.
However, many students welcome the idea of a Free Speech
area, asserting, like student
Kristie Simonson, that "it would
be good to hear people's ideas
about things; to hear different
points of view." Student Juan
Ortiz was surprised to hear that
we had a Free Speech area but
excitedly wished for "more public political discussion." Asked if
she knew where the Free Speech
area was, student Patricia Byers
quizzically remarked, "I guess I
just assumed that the Free Speech
area was everywhere."
How do we speak up?

rights, and acknowledging its
potential to be both healthy and
contentious, is concerned but not
surprised by the current silence.
"At San Marcos, where the
average student age is 26, the student's energies are mostly focused
"I want to see fliers, I want to
see posters, I want to see people
arguing in the quad over sensitive issues, I want to see students
engaged in dialogue," asserted
Poullard.
As no school official was
able to give any clear-cut CSUSM
guidelines for use of the Free
Speech area, students must
assume that there aren't any
aside from those stipulated in
the Constitution. Lieutenant Bill
McCullough predicts "Free
Speech area guidelines will most
likely develop as more people use
the area, so there becomes a sort
of give and take between what
is allowable and what isn't." Of
course, institutional guidelines
must comply with those given in
the U.S. Constitution.
Students have a constitutional right to express their opinions
as long as they do so in a way that
doesn't "materially and substantially" disrupt classes or other
school activities. If you completely block entrances to the
buildings or walkways, school
officials can stop you. They can
probably also stop you from using
language that they think is "vulgar or indecent." Government can
also limit some protected speech
by imposing "time, place and
manner" restrictions. This is most
commonly done by requiring permits for meetings, rallies and
demonstrations. But such permits, which CSUSM has not yet
required, cannot be unreasonably
withheld, nor can it be denied
based on content of the speech.
Officials have stipulated, however, that any use of the Free
Speech area by persons not working at or attending CSUSM must

San Diego Campaign
Madness I I
By: Victor Mireles
Pride Staff Writer
Driving towards the North
Coast Democratic Debate Viewing
Party, a news report said that
Democratic Vice Presidential
Candidate Joseph Lieberman was
in San Diego watching the debate
at a local charter high school.
Immediately, plans changed and
this reporter was off to High Tech
High School. But a problem soon
arose: no one seemed to know the
school's location. At 5:55pm, local
programming was interrupted and
the debate coverage began.
While I was driving down the
1-5, the debate began with both candidates speaking on foreign policy
matters. The constant back and
forth of the debate proved soothing, if not boring. At 6:45pm, I
gave up the search and headed to
the next site where Joe Lieberman
was scheduled to appear. Balboa
Park's Hall of Champions was the
site of a $l,000-a-plate dinner for
the Democratic Party. Arriving at
7:10pm, a group of protesters held
signs and sang out chants protesting the debates and Lieberman.
In effigy, the protesters held a
giant man with a shirt covered by
a dollar sign that had strings on
each of his hands. In his right hand,
he held an elephant, and in his left
hand, he held a donkey. One member of the protest group, Balmore,
stated, "We are here because Nader
is not in the debate. He supports
universal health care."
W TN T F
01
Another protester smiled and
laughed while another man who
seemed disinterested said, "I just
came here with a friend." Across
the street was a man in an Armani
suit walking towards the Hall of
Champions; his gaze never met the
protest group. He seemed lost and
when asked what he was looking
for he replied, "I am looking for
my wife. We have to go to the
dinner."
The police were bored with
the protest and talked among themselves. When asked about the protest, one officer said, "I don't care.
I have to be here till midnight."
Before this reporter was able
to get out another question a secret
service agent appeared. "Who are
you?" he asked. I replied that
I was a reporter for The Pride.
"I'm sorry. This is a secured area.
You will have to leave," said the
agent, giving a dirty look to the
officer. The police officer began to
apologize as I walked across the
street.
The protesters began to chant,
"Human needs, not corporate
greed! Let Ralph debate!" Walking
away from the event, I passed the
man looking for his wife. When
asked if he had eaten before the
dinner, he laughed and said, "Its
not about the food but the cause."
Just then his wife appeared wearing a black evening dress. They
walked hand-in-hand passing the
protesters, the police and a tour bus
driver, to eat $1,000 meals.

Beautiful,
two-time
Academy Award winning actress
Sally Field makes a strong directorial debut with a balance of
humor, reality, and some dark
elements of society. In a film
of strong female performances,
Sally Field is exceptionally talented behind the camera as well
as in front.
Based on the theme of beauty
pageants, lip-gloss and perfection, this film takes a surprisingly clever look at a young
woman, Mona (played by Minnie
Driver). Mona is from a small
Illinois town that offers her limited opportunities.
However, Mona has big
dreams of becoming a beauty
pageant queen, which she envisions to be a life of perfection,
grace, and validation. Her dream
of becoming a beauty queen contrasts the reality of her home
life with her parents who only
care about booze, cigarettes, and
television.
As her obsession to become
a beauty queen grows, Mona is
relentless as she manipulates her
way through personal obstacles.
With determination, Mona takes
after school jobs to earn money
for braces and singing, dancing,
and modeling lessons from the
formidable, pageant diva Verna
Chickle (played by Kathleen
Turner). The ultimate Miss
American Miss Pageant offers her
hope, change, and a new outlook,
and Mona stops at nothing to get
to the top. When Mona, against
all odds, beats out her competitors to become Miss Illinois,
she is finally on her way to compete for the Miss American Miss
Pageant.
Through witty dialogue and
superb direction, memorable
scenes unfold in the film. Mona's
obsession turns into a confronta-

For most spectators the
Olympic games are over;
however, the games have only
begun for the 4,000 athletes
from 125 countries competing in
the Sydney Paralympic Games.
The Paralympic competition in
Sydney, Australia, began on
October 18 and will run through
October 29. As of October 20,
the United States is in tenth place
with a total of two medals, one
silver and one bronze.
The Paralympics consist of
18 sports on the competition
program, 14 of which are also
on the Olympic sports program.
According to the official Olympic web site, the other four sports
are "unique to - the Paralympic
Games [and they are] boccia,
goalball, powerlifting and wheelchair rugby." This is the first time
wheelchair rugby will be offered
as a medal event.
The mission of the Paralympics is "to inspire the world
by staging a Paralympic Games
that sets new standards in excellence, enabling the athletes to
achieve their best," according to
the Sydney Olympic web site.
Within the first two days of the
games, the athletes proved their
athletic excellence by smashing
Paralympic and world records.
On the first day of competition, four records were broken
in the preliminaries for swimming. The Paralympic News Service reported. USA's Erin Popovich broke the world record in the
women's 200-meter individual
medley. In the men's 100-meter
Tuesday, October 24,2000 5
breaststroke, Pike Stewart set the
Paralympic record with a time of
1:12.33. Immediately following
Stewart's record-breaking performance was Alwin Houtsma who
beat Stewart's record with a time
of 1:07.82.
Since the Paralympics were
created to coincide with the
Olympic games, the term Paralympic was developed to signify
'parallel games.' The creator of
the Paralympics, Sir Ludwig
Guttman, was deemed the 'father'
of sport for people with disabilities. According to the Olympic web site, "While working
with ex-servicemen at the Stoke
Mandeville Hospital after WWII,
Guttman recognized the need for
competition and staged the 1948
International Wheelchair Games
to coincide with the 1948 London
Olympic Games." Other sports
and disability categories were
added, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games was held in Rome.
According to the site, the games
have been held every four years
"in tandem" with the Olympic
games.
The 2000 Olympics had a
total of eleven athletes that tested
positive for drugs. Five athletes
were stripped of their medals. At
least six Paralympic athletes have
also tested positive to performance enhancing drugs, according to an October 20 report from
Reuters News Service.
Robert Steadward, President
of the International Paralympics
Committee admits "some of the
tests came back positive [but]
it was good that the IPC had
identified the drug-taking athletes before they had competed"
as reported in Reuters. There had
been no positive tests at the 1996
Atlanta Paralympic Games. This
is t he first year that the Paralympics are having random out-ofcompetition drug testing in addition to the regular competition
testing. All of the 4,000 athletes
are subject to random testing.

better. He's really a normal loving
father, but'lust intervenes, and he
makes a mistake. Nobody's perfect. I did not intend to call infidelity normal, and apologize that

With the passage of the student union fee referendum, I
would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
helped make the M. Gordon
Clarke Field House/University
Student Union a reality. First, I'd
like t o thank those of you who
worked in front of and behind
the scenes to get the information to the students and to make
the fee referendum understandable and feasible. Secondly, and
most importantly, I would like
to thank all the students who
voted. We, as a campus, are
one step closer towards making
CSUSM not only a great commuter campus, but also a great
place to be.

Waiting in traffic at a major

from you to complain about any

signs represent the beginning
of your polarization of political

the clever placement or the sheer

Academic Bulletin
The Pride
The
Pride
Literary
Supplement (PLS), a publication
of The Prid^ is again seeking student writing representing inquiry
and research across all academic
disciplines pursued at CSUSM
Since its inception, California
State University at San Marcos
has committed itself to the cultivation of student writing. Across
the disciplines, at every academic
level, students are required to
write and professors are asked
to take writing seriously. The
student newspaper would like to
publish expository, critical, and
theoretical writing as much as
creative writing, poems, stories
or film scripts. The FLS will
consider manuscripts of up to
3000 words that both exemplify
excellent inquiry and research in
their discipline^) and that able
readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and
understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research
or creative writing. Accessibility
is determined by the editor(s)
of The Pride or their designated
representatives.
gon, foreign,^ or mathematical
language. When technical terms
are essential, they should be
explained to the reader.
References to critical literature,
where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago,
and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic
discipline.
The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student
manuscripts that are submitted
with the recommendation of a
faculty member who has pursued
research in the student's field
of study or published texts of a
related kind. Staff and faculty
contributions will also be considered.
