STACY SPEAKS
University president looks back at 1994
1 think the campus recognized
hat diversity
means there are a
lot of voices, and
that there's dignity
and integrity in a
lot of voices.'
Dr. Bill Stacy,
Cal State San Marcos
president
By Roman S. Koenig
A s t he year draws to a close, Cal S tate San Marcos
MJk h as begun to reflect on t he successes of 1994 as i t
m \ looks to t he f uture when f reshmen and sophomores join t he campus community in fall 1995. Dr. Bill
Stacy, university president, offered his t houghts on t he
accomplishments of 1994 Monday.
"The tremendous generosity of Mrs. (Ella) Thedinga
h as got to be a highlight," Stacy noted f irst. Thedinga, a
Rancho Bernardo resident, donated $500,000 t o CSUSM
for a scholarship f und. "The money itself is enormous and
wonderful, b ut t here is a symbolism t here t hat is so
r eassuring to me."
Thedinga serves as a symbol, according t o Stacy, for
those people in t he general community who have gone
f rom knowing n othing about t he university t o gaining
knowledge about t he i nstitution a nd i ts purpose t hrough
interaction with s tudents, faculty and staff.
"Most importantly, she met a connection in t he president of t he Associated S tudents. Michelle Sadova was a
very gracious host to h er," Stacy continued. "Out of t hat
association, t hen, Mrs. Thedinga h as p ut together t his
$500,000 scholarship endowment. So t hat's a highlight for
me, and as I say I d on't denigrate for one moment t he
enormous size of t hat money, b ut mostly i t's t he metaphor" t hat is i mportant.
Another of Thedinga's contacts on campus was Susan
Mendes of S tudent H ealth Services, Stacy added. T he
campus's S tudent Health Center h as since been renamed
in Thedinga's honor.
Another highlight for Stacy was t he increased enrollment experienced a t CSUSM t his semester. T he s tudent
population now s tands a t approximately 3,000, according
t o Stacy. A t hird highlight for CSUSM's president was a
day of r ecruiting young people f rom a rea high schools and
j unior highs in October.
"I t hink it was a day of saying to a lot of young people in
N orth County t hat 'You really can t hink about college.' If
not here, t hen Palomar (Community College) or MiraCosta
(Community College) or San Diego S tate," explained Stacy.
The president credited t he university's AVID program and
o ther campus services for making t he day successful.
"To see t hat (Founders') plaza j ust jammed full of high
school and middle school young people was a thrill to me,"
he added. "I t hink they felt (the university's) welcome
m at."
On t he academic side, Stacy noted t he additions of over
20 new faculty and staff members to CSUSM, including t he
h iring of Dr. Newton Margulies a s t he dean of t he College
of Business Administration and Dr. Fraricine Martinez as
dean of s tudents.
The creation of a general education package was another major accomplishment for t he university, h e said.
T hanks to t he work of Dr. Don F unes and Dr. Patricia
Seleski and h er committee, a major component of welcoming f reshmen and sophomores h as been completed, h e
continued.
" That's j ust an enormous, big piece of t he academic
p lanning of t his i nstitution," he said. "I've clearly got t o
say t hat was a main event."The y ear did not go by without i ts controversies and
disappointments, however. Most notable in Stacy's mind
was t he controversy over reported comments by s tate Sen.
William Craven (R-Oceanside) t hat Latinos be required t o
carry identification cards t o prove United S tates citizenship.
" That was a major source of, I t hink, discomfort for t he
folks a t t he campus and a lot of h urt feelings both ways,"
Stacy commented. " It was a reality t hat t he campus had t o
address."
"Another low-light, of course, was t he difficulty (at) t he
campus in t he face of two election results. One was, of
course, t he bond issue loss in J une, and our subsequent
hope t hat i t would get on t he November ballot," Stacy
continued. T he bond did not make November's ballot. "I
would very f rankly say t o you t hat was t he most disappointing t hing of all of t he series of low-lights."
The loss of t hat election has placed CSUSM in a t ight
squeeze, according to Stacy.
"The campus h as a momentum of growth and access,"
h e explained, "and t he new facilities a re so severely needed
for t he integrity of academic programs and plus, simply,
more s eats for more s tudents. So I really h ate t hat. I t h urts
u s r ather badly both in t he kind of t he spirit of moving
forward and i n... how (we) cope with t he absence of those
new buildings."
Temporary buildings a re on t heir way next fall to house
needed space for faculty, which he called t he "Faculty
Village." Already, a number of temporary buildings hold
classes in both performing and fine a rts a t t he east end of
campus across from University Services.
"The other (low-light) was t he focus of a ttention around
(Proposition) 187," Stacy added, "and yet I t hink t here
were some good conversations held on t he campus and I
t hink t he campus recognized t hat diversity means t here
a re a ldt of voices, and t hat t here's dignity and integrity in
a lot of voices."
Despite t he problems posed by t hese low-lights, Stacy
said h e believed t he campus addressed t he issues associated with t hem beautifully with events such as t he September debate on Proposition 187. The measure called for
t he denial of social and medical services to illegal immigrants in California, and passed in t he November election.

'Thinking computers'
will highlight national
competition Dec. 16
Pittinghumans against computers, the fourth annual Loebner
Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence will attempt to answer t he question "Can computers think?" The competition,
described by t he Wall Street Journal as a "ground breaking
battle" will be held Dec. 16 at Cal State San Marcos.
The program, which will begin at noon, includes a short
lecture by distinguished computer expert Dr. Oliver G. Selfridge,
followed by t he real-time competition from 1 to 4 p.m. The
winner of t he competition will be announced a t 5 p.m. All events
will take place in Academic Hall, room 206.
In t he Loebner contest, judges — all members of the national
media — "converse" with computer terminals, moving from
terminal to terminal. Some of t he terminals are controlled by
computer programs and some by hidden human confederates,
also members of the media. For t he 1994 event, conversation a t
each terminal is restricted to a single topic. After t he judges have
conversed with all t he computers, they rank-order t he terminals
from "least human" to "most human" and then t ry to guess
which terminal is which. Prizes will be awarded this year to both
t he "Most Human Computer" and t he "Most Human Human."
Spectators will be able to view each conversation as it unfolds,
to t ry their hand at a "mystery" terminal, and to complete their
own rating forms.
While this year's conversations will be restricted to certain
topics, next year there will be no topic restrictions. This year t he
author of t he winning software will receive $2,000 and a bronze
medal. When a computer passes an unrestricted test, t he grand
prize of $100,000 will be awarded and t he contest will be discontinued.
The 1994 finalists are considerably stronger t han in previous
years. Most come from t he mainstream Artificial Intelligence
community in t he United States and Europe. Among the contestants are a 14-year-old student from one of this country's top
prep schools and a team of eight programmers from England.
The contest was inspired by t he British mathematician and
computer pioneer Alan Turing. In 1950, Turing stated t hat when
a computer cannot be distinguished from a person, in conversation using computer terminals, t he computer could be said to be
"thinking" or intelligent.
The competition is named a fter Dr. Hugh G. Loebner of New
York City who funded the $100,000 challenge award.
Cal State San Marcos received
t he latgest single donation in its
young history in a ceremony Dec.

Ella J . Thedinga of Rancho
Bernardo pledged $500,000 t o
f und an endowed scholarship a t
CSUSM. Thedinga presented t he
university with a $200,000 check,
the first installment oft he endowment.
The endowment will provide
five $2,000 scholarships in 1995
when CSUSM admits i ts f irst
freshman class. Having been associated with education for more
t han f our decades, T hedinga
wished t he "Ella J . Thedinga
Scholarship Endowment" to be
associated with t his historic class.
When fully funded, t he endowment is expected t o provide 20
scholarships per year, in perpetu-r
ity.
Thedinga and her late husband,
Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga,

Thedinga was a professor and ultimately vice president for student services for many years. Mrs.
T hedinga was a n e lementary
school teacher as well as t he hostess for many student events over
t he years.
"Mrs. Thedinga cares deeply
for students," said Dr. Bill Stacy,
CSUSM president. "As a teacher,
as a mentor, as a friend, she has
always been closely allied with
s tudents a nd s tudent services
throughout her professional career. I t is because of t his love for
students she established t his f und
which will help hundreds of students in perpetuity.
"As a new university, CSUSM
does not have the large endowments of older institutions. This
will be a wonderful cornerstone in
our efforts to provide financial support toour students," he explained.

Students can trade food for fines
The university library will be accepting food in lieu of book
fines from Dec. 5 to Dec. 23. The idea is to recover library
materials and help the less fortunate. Students are encouraged
not to miss this opportunity to wipe out their debts and do a good
deed a t the same time. No matter how high the fine, nonperishable food donations wil cover the debts during this time
period. However, this food drive does not include charges for lost
items. Food donations will be given to CSUSM Circle K to assist
them in their annual holiday food drive.
Financial aid workshops offered
Cal State San Marcos is holding financial aid workshops for
students who are entering the university in fall 1995.
The workshops will offer general financial aid information
and guidance on completing a financial aid application form.
Applicants may choose from workshops on J an. 7, 9:30 to 11:30
a.m. in ACD 102 or, J an. 23, 7 to 9 p.m. in the same location.
These free workshops are sponsored by CSUSM's Financial
Aid Office. No preregistration is required. Call 752-4850 for
additional information.
$25K grant awarded to Enrollment
Cal State San Marcos has received a $25,000 allocation from
t he CSU Chancellor's Office to assist in providing early notification to prospective students about admission and financial aid
eligibility.
P art of a $4 million fund established by t he CSU Board of
Trustees, CSUSM received t he maximum amount available for
this project. The funds will be used jointly by the offices of
Enrollment Services and Financial Aid to purchase a laptop
computer and software to take to local high schools and community colleges to enter application data and assess eligibility on
site. A temporary position will also be funded to provide this
service. Although the allocation is for one year, the purchase of
t he equipment and software will make it possible to provide this
service in t he future.
New program seeks volunteers
Do you have extra time on your hands? Do you want new
challenges? Cal State San Marcos is initiating a program to bring
volunteers onto the campus to provide services and expertise
throughout t he university's offices and classrooms.
Spearheaded by retired accounting professional Julie Heard,
the program seeks to match the expertise of community volunteers with campus needs in what is intended to be a mutually
beneficial experience. Volunteers will assist the university in
carrying out its educational objectives while simultaneously
benefitting from the many enriching experiences of the campus
environment.
The first volunteer positions to be recruited by Heard include:
reader/researcher to assist students with visual or auditory
impairments; test proctor to assist students with writing impairments in completing exams and to monitor exams; general office
assistant to work in student affirmative action; fiscal/accounting
assistant for the fiscal operations department; career resource
librarian in the career center to assist student in job searches
using library materials.
"There are a lot of talented people in our local community —
people who want to contribute their talents to someone who will
appreciate their efforts," noted Heard, a former manager for the
Internal Revenue Service who also coordinated approximately
1,000 volunteers for t he AARP's income tax assistance program
for the elderly.
For more information about the program and other volunteer
openings, call Heard or J ane Lynch, University Development, at

Spanish book center
has world-wide appeal
Reading is generally acknowledged to be the most powerful
educational tool to develop literacy. However, the fastest growing segment of the population,
Latinos, have only limited access
to books in their primary language.
Working on ways to remedy the
problem, California State University, San Marcos is home to the
only center in the world t hat focuses on books in Spanish for
young readers.
Cal State San Marcos's Center
for the Study of Books in Spanish
for Children and Adolescents,
headed by Dr. Isabel Schon, collects and evaluates books in Spanish and books in English about
Latinos from around the world.
The center is unique in its global
approach. While some Spanishspeaking countries have libraries
th&t focus on literature of their
own country, only Schon's center
includes works in Spanish for
young readers worldwide.
The center annually sponsors
a conference on Books in Spanish
for Young Readers. Held Nov. 19
at the San Diego Convention Center, this year the 4th annual conference, drew-more t han 1500
teachers, librarians and others
from across the United States,
Mexico, South America and Spain.
In addition, approximately 200
publishers and educational organizations, interested in tapping
into this new and emerging market, exhibited their publications
and programs.
The two keynote speakers at
the conference were Dr. David
William Foster and Jose Emilio
Pacheco. Foster is t he Regents'
Professor of Spanish at Arizona
State University, where he directs
the Graduate Program in Spanish
and is chair of the editorial committee of the Center for Latin
American Studies. A well-known
author and scholar, Foster has

numerous publications, literary
translations and awards. He also
served as a Fulbright scholar in
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay,
and as an Inter-American Development Bank Professor in Chile.
Dr. Foster's presentation focused on the importance of context and cultural characteristics
in translations. He discussed the
process of communicating and the
importance of cultural context in
accurate translations, especially
when dealing with literature for
young readers.
Jose Emilio Pacheco has been
a key literary figure in Mexico for
more than 30 years. A renown
poet, he is also respected for his
translations and adaptations of
dramatic works. He has won
Mexico's National Drama Critics
Award, the National Poetry Award

view is part of what CSUSM is
about, Stacy noted.
"I think there's a sense t hat as
we commit ourselves around here
to achieving excellence through
diversity, we want to keep a respectful dialogue on our table and
I think we just must not shrink
one tiny bit from our mission of
achieving excellence through diversity," he concluded.
"Indeed, I think we're going to
have to be smarter about it and
rtiore ruggedly determined to
achieve excellence through diversity. There is a crassness, maybe a
potential bitterness t hat is about,
and we'll have to be very smart to
keep on the table the legitimate
ends of celebrating diversity, empowering it, achieving excellence
(and) making sure we're better as
a university."
Pacheco discussed the importance of reading. He exhorted t he
participants to do everything they
can to help others enjoy the simple
a rt of reading. He explained how
readers, by engaging the imagination, can travel anywhere in t he
world, within any time frame, and
meet anyone they wish.
Conference attendees also had
the opportunity to interact with
the two keynote speakers as well
as more t han 35 other authors of
books in Spanish for young readers. In "Meet the Author" sessions, participants talked with
authors and illustrators from the
United States, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Honduras and Argentina.
Proceedings for this conference
and the previous three conferences
are available for $5 each (plus
$1.50 for shipping the first book,
and $.50 for each addition book)

�Remember culture when interviewing
You have heard it time and again: a
successful interview begins with a firm
handshake, good eye contact and a professional, confident demeanor. But for many
job h unters, these behaviors contradict
one's traditional values and beliefs. Cultural influences often have significant effect on our ability to "break in" to professional fields.
Many of us who have been raised outside
of the dominant culture in American society have has to overcome some problems in
this a rea. For example, as an Asian woman

Organization pulls weight with trustees
The California State Student Association (CSSA) has had an incredible semester.
We played a vital role in convincing t he
California State University Board of Trustees to go to t he State of California (instead
of to t he students) for t he proposed 10
percent fee increase for t he 1995-96 academic year. Our priorities for t he rest of t he
academic year include t he CSU Budget, t he
CSU Master Plan, student fees and financial aid, student services and educational
l/as
equity, and alternative funding sources for
our organization.
If you are interested in issues surrounding t he student perspective in CSU systemwide policies and decisions, I would encourage you to get involved. We have a committee t hat discusses these issues. It is called
t he CSSA committee and you can get information about it in the Associated Students
office (Commons 205). Have a wonderful
holiday break.

Peer Advisors are here to help students
Well, here it is — t he end of t he fall
semester. We bet you a re wondering what
is happening with the Peer Advisors (NOT).
I t h as been a great semester and we have
learned a lot helping students with t heir
questions and concerns. But, some students still do not know who we are and
what we do.
The Peer Advisors are a group of students who are trained to understand most
of t he questions t hat come up surrounding
t he majors within t he College of Arts and
Sciences. We can help you plan out your
schedule, choose a special field, see what
class from a local community college will fit
into your needed classes and find a faculty
member. We are located on t he sixth floor
of Craven Hall outside t he offices of Lora
Coad, Andres Favela and Leslie Zomalt.
Before you go on to t he next article,
t here are a couple of important dates coming up. December 9 is t he deadline for
spring 1995"early registration. J an. 10,
1995 is schedule adjustment day for continuing students, and J an. 23 begins t he
late registration and schedule adjustment
for all students. We hope you have had a
great semester and please come up and see
us sometime.

�Do we really follow 'Mission V
Shame on us! While we've been busy
patting ourselves on the back, wallowing in
the glow of the virtuosity of our liberal
enlightenment, we have failed to realize we
may be just a horde of self-righteous hypocrites, much like those t hat we profess to
deplore! Convictions require consistency.
No one has to "walk-the-walk" as well as
"talk-the-talk" 24 hours a day — or he is
living a lie!
We may have unintentionally proven
t hat our Mission Statement is more " fluff'
than "stuff." While we find satisfaction in
its idealistic rhetoric, we may feel application need only be conditional rather than
universal.
The Cal State San Marcos Mission Statement reads,"... [student are encouraged to]
seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions ... [and will]
focus on ... concerns of race, gender, and
cultural d i v e r s i t y T h e key words are to
understand, not to judge, but judgment of
human behavior, culture, values and institutions appear to be made more often on
this campus than does understanding! This
claim is supported by our attitudes involving classmates and the more visible "Craven Controversy" which has been causing
shockwaves recently on our campus.
How many times have we privately or
publicly dismissed, discounted, or even attacked, statements made by classmates t hat
we are politically or philosophically opposed to? Probably more often than not,
especially if the statements were made by
someone not representing a cultural minority. The point is t hat the opinions of
those who constitute the mainstream (i.e.,
white, middle-class, and/or male) warrant
the same consideration as those coming
from other segments of the social order. If
we do not accept this premise, neither can
we claim to be in support of the university's
Mission Statement. A bigger danger lies in
t hat by ignoring (or even worse, judging)
the issues or concerns of any group, regardless of gender, class or race, we will only
allow ill feelings to fester until simple issues of social concern become major social
problems!
While the initial call to remove any reference of Craven from the campus sounded
'Thanfc
rational, t he same principle mentioned
above applies. If the call to remove his
name and bust had been accepted, at least
- it would have illustrated t hat we are t rue to
our convictions, no matter how faulty they
may be. Unfortunately, t he mere refusal to
attempt to understand what life experiences have led the senator to feel the way he
does was not the end of the story. An additional commentmade on campus by a member of student government has lent support
to my claim t hat we have acted more as
hypocrites t han the "enlightened individuals" t hat t he Mission Statement promises
to t urn us into.
This student's statement seemed to imply t hat the justification for not approving
a resolution calling for t he elimination of
Craven's name from campus was financially motivated. The impression left was
t hat t he university should not send a message t hat we reserve t he right to disagree
with those who are in a position to help us.
This rationale essentially expresses t hat
convictions are conditional, and with aprice
tag attached!
Here is our dilemma: (1) We must stand
consistent behind the convictions expressed
in our Mission Statement and be tolerant of
"all" social groups including t he mainstream; (2) we must be honest with ourselves and reject the total philosophy of t he
Mission Statement if we cannot bring ourselves to listen to the concerns of all segments of society; or (3) we must edit t he
Mission Statement to read t hat "we are
willing to seek to understand only those
whose behavior, culture and values wejudge
as acceptable." The last alternative would
be a moral, travesty. The second, although
steeped in honesty, would be a cop out, but
the first would allow us to once again walk
with our heads held high.

�Survey finds
Americans want to
be healthy
A recent survey by Day-Timers, Inc. found t hat the
majority of working Americans (78 percent) listed
getting more exercise as a personal health goal, 59
percent wanted to eat better and 40 percent indicated
they wanted to reduce stress at work.
According to Dr. Donald Hensrud, a preventive
medicine specialist with the Mayo Clinic, personal
fitness, nutrition and stress management are key to
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the DayTimers survey finds t hat more than one-third ofAmerican workers exercise only once or twice a month or
less, over half (53 percent) eat fast-food at least once a
week and only 15 percent said they have been able to
reduce stress at work.
"With nearly two-thirds of the workforce (62 percent) admitting t hat they constantly feel rushed, things
probably seem to be spinning out of control," noted
Loren Hulber, Day-Timers president. "We encourage
people to take t hat control back in order to live a
healthier lifestyle."
Experts say t hat a combination of writing down goals,
using a reward system and incorporating activities into a
daily schedule is critical to keeping people motivated
toward achieveing healthy-minded goals.
CSUSM to host

�Know your

AIDS now a global
problem
DR. JOEL GRINOLDS
It may have passed you by. It is
no wonder since everyone is so
busy the last few weeks of t he
semester. However, Wednesday,
December 1, 1994, was World
AIDS Day. Yes, AIDS is truly a
global problem. An estimated 17
million persons world-wide have
been infected with HIV since t he
onset of t he pandemic and each
day 6000 additional persons become infected.
In t he United States as of J une
1994, t here have been 401,749
cases ofAIDS reported. The number of people who test positive for
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus) infection is estimated t o be
1.5 million.
"~
"
I am often asked if we a re seeing many cases of AIDS a t Student Health Services. In t ruth,
the answer is no and likewise, we
don't know what percentage of
college students t est positive for
HIV. In San Diego County t here
have been about 6000 AIDS cases
and an estimated 50,000 people
who are test positive for HIV.
According to a study by t he
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
and the American College Health
Association t here is an HIV infection r ate of 0.2% or one in 500
college students. Nationally, i t is
estimated t hat between 25,000
and 35,000 college s tudents are
infected with HIV.
Women and children are t he
group t hat is currently rising t he
fastest in terms of percentage of
BE A
cases ofAIDS. This demonstrates
f urther t hat HIV/AIDS is becoming a heterosexual problem; point
college-age students need to pay
attention to. Unfortunately, a t
t he recent World Conference on
HIV/AIDS, t he news related t o
t reatment and a possible vaccine
is not very encouraging.
These statistics present both
good and bad news. The good
news is t hat t he r ate of HIV infection is about what you might see
in t he general population and
lower t han t he rates in high-risk
groups such as homosexual males,
IV d rug users or people attending
STD clinics. The bad news is t hat
i t exists and h as t he potential for
serious spread in t he campus community.
We also know risky behaviors
exist on campuses due to the prevalence ofother STDs and unwanted
pregnancies. This information
underscores t he need to persuade
college students to use condoms,
limit t he number of t heir sexual
p artners and otherwise reduce
t heir risk of becoming infected.
Once again prevention is t he
best medicine. "Prevention ofHIV
infection through education and
interventions to help develop and
maintain safe behaviors t hat will
reduce t he risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission
of all institutions of higher education," s tate t he authors of t he
CDC study.
Need I say more!
GOOD
Hi

American Heart s t a |
Association
If you a re like many women,
you may not be receiving all t he
medical t ests you should. A recent
Roper/Mycelex-7 survey polling
1,038 United States women ages
18 and older found t hat those who
exclusively see a gynecologist versus a general practitioner as a
primary physician receive more
comprehensive annual exams.
While 51 percent of women seeing internists received external
(breast and abdominal) examinations, gynecologists performed
these exams on 70 percent of t heir
patients. Nearly twice as many
women (68 percent versus 37 percent) received internal pelvic exams from gynecologists. Forty-two
percent of women consulting an
internist had a Pap smear, compared to t he 78 percent seeing a n
ob/gyn. To avoid missing important screenings, Ramona I. Slupik,
M.D., Northwestern University
Medical School, advises:
• Tell your doctor u p f ront t hat
he or she is your "one and onlyw or
it may be assumed another physician is giving certain tests.
• I n addition to t he annual gynecological exam, expect checks
of your blood pressure, weight,
urine, cholesterol and pulse.
• Asa safeguard, keep your own
checklist of t ests performed.
• Request a copy of your medical records to personally trackyour
health history.
CO detectors
for the home
Experts now say t hat carbon
monoxide detectors are as important t o home safety as smoke detectors. Consider these facts:
• According t o t he J ournal of
t he American Medical Association
(JAMA), carbon monoxide is t he
No. 1 cause of poisoning death in
t he U.S., responsible for 1,500
deaths and 10,000 illnesses each
year.
• Post Graduate Medicine reports t hat one t hird of all survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning have lasting memoiy deficits
or personality changes.
• Any home with a furnace,
heater, fireplace, or appliance t hat
operates on flammable fuel such
as n atural gas, oil, wood, coal or
kerosene is a potential candidate
for indoor air pollution from improperly vented carbon monoxide.
• Carbon monoxide can be detected. First Alert, for example,
manufactures a b attery operated
carbon monoxide detector t hat
continues to operate even in t he
event of a power outage.
Staying on a diet while
traveling
Can you lose weight while
traveling? F at chance, some
might say, b ut t he t ruth is i t
can actually be easier to e at
healthy while you are traveling t han when you a re a t
home.
When ordering in a restaurant, look for dishes prepared with low-fat cooking
methods such as broiling,
roasting, steaming, or grilling. Skip rich sauces and
dressings, or ask for them on
t he side. And do not be afraid
to ask for fried or f attening
entrees to be prepared differently. Most chefs will honor
your request.
Hotel r estaurants around
t he country a re particularly
answering consumers' demands for great-tasting, yet
low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol menu choices. Omni
Hotels is one example of t his
effort. Executive chefs from
t he hotel chain recently developed new recipes for i ts "Simply Healthy" menu program.
"Simply Healthy" menu items
f eature healthy ingredients,
with a high percentage offruit,
pastas, grains, and legumes.
Fish, lean meats, or poultry
without skin are also highlighted. The "Simply Healthy"
dishes are cooked with low-fat
cookingmethods and use light,
flavorful sauces.
The culinary creativity of
t he Omni chefs has resulted in
appetizers, entrees and desserts such as grilled skinless
d uck b reast w ith r oasted
vidalia onion and cranberry
apple compote; shiitake mushrooms, and goat cheese; and
seared pork tenderloin with
braised Napa cabbage and turmeric-infused potatoes.

�Candid view
of Cal State
San Marcos
Students at CSU San Marcos
commented about their professors—"Excellent," "Political,"
"Above average," "One extreme
or another—not much in between," "They were selected
very carefully," "Most of mine
are interested in students understanding t heir subjects,"
"They treat u s with respect,"
and "About a B" according to a
recently published book: DISCOVER THE CSU: A Subjective Guide to the California State
University System.
U sing candid comments of
s tudents t o describe l ife at
CSUSM and t he other CSU
campuses, authors Pat Dever
and Margy Arthur have published an interesting reference
book about t he CSU system.
The authors gathered information for their 208-page book i n
t he spring o f1994 after visiting
each campus at least two times.
The book provides a very positive narration of t he academics, activities and campus life at
all t he CSU campuses.
One goal of t he authors w as
to inform t he public about t he
many advantages available at
t he CSU campuses. Dever said,
"The CSU i s t he largest system
higher education i n t he United
States. CSUs such as CSU San
Marcos (which s et a record i n
quickly becominga fully accredited university) offer u nique
opportunities t o students.
Dr. Barry Munitz, Chancellor of T he CSU s ystem, described DISCOVER THE CSU
as "a well researched, extremely
informative book t hat will be
an invaluable resource guide
for p otential CSU s tudents.
This i s exactly t he kind o f book
that s tudents should consult
before embarking on their college careers."
U sing t he information and
experience gained from visiting colleges, t he authors knew
what information prospective
students wanted t o know before enrolling at a college. The
students mainly ask, "Will I f it
in here? What are t he other
students like? What are t he
housing options? How long will
it take m e t o get a degree? Will
I need a car? How hard is it to
get the classes I want?" The
book covers t hese concerns
and more.
P rospective C SU S an
Marcos students are encouraged to tour the campus before applying. Certainly the
s tudents w ho r ead DISCOVER THE CSU will be
anxious to se CSUSM firsthand. The chapter on CSUSM
concludes w ith "Discover t he
challenge of contributing to
t he future of a major university at California State University, San Marcos.
