SAN DIEGO ~ Former CSUSM student Matt
Weaver was charged in federal court with four counts of
fraud on Feb. 8. The FBI investigation has been ongoing
since Weaver's on-campus
arrest on March 15,2012.
According to the FBI report, Weaver was attempting
to rig the 2012 ASI elections
and win the office of president, and he stole 740 student
identifications in the scheme.
He was charged this month
with four counts of fraud
and released on $20,000 bail
pending trial.
Further research into the
case showed that Weaver had
allegedly been planning to
run for ASI office as early as
July 2011. According to the
report, he sent a request t o
ASI for the budget and salary rates for ASI student officers — who earn an annual
salary ranging from $ 1,000
to $8,000. The ASI budget is
$300,000.
FBI investigators found
a PowerPoint presentation
on Weaver's computer that
proposed that he and his Tau
Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity brothers (a fraternity
banned from CSUSM) run
on a slate to obtain five ASI
positions. The presentation
suggested that Weaver run
for president and his fraternity brothers run for vice
president positions.
According to the investigation, the method Weaver
used to fraudulently access
information and cast votes
involved plugging keylogging devices into 19 university computers in January
and February of 2012 to
obtain students' logins and
passwords. He kept the information on 740 students in
multiple Excel spreadsheets
on his computer, one of the
largest files was titled "Fu**
ASI .alpha."
Access to campus accounts
also gives access to one's account network-based university services which include
email accounts and other private information.

B Y COUGAR CHRONICLE
STAFF MEMBERS
A local Internet security
expert praised CSUSM's
detective work that brought
down an election-rigging
scheme on campus last
spring. But the case against
the ex-student charged with
the crime shows how vulnerable computers—and their
users—can be to cybercrime.
On Feb. 8, Matt Weaver
was charged in federal court
with two counts of wire
fraud, one count of access
device fraud and one count
of unauthorized access to a
computer, for allegedly attempting to rig the votes in
the ASI election in March
2012. The criminal complaint said that Weaver, who
was running for the office of
ASI president, purchased and
installed up to 15 keylogging
devices on 19 on-campus
computers in order to gather
the username and passwords
of 740 students (which he allegedly used to cast votes for
himself).
Chris Gruenwald, owner of
Bayside Networks in Sorrento Valley, described the ASI
election-hacking scheme as
"an aggressive, primitive
act" that is likely to have severe consequences if Weaver
is found guilty.
"He sounds like a young
wise guy who thinks he's the
smartest guy in the room,"
Gruenwald said, adding that
if Weaver is found guilty of
the crimes, then: "he's ruined
his life and thrown away a
good chance at an education
for something he didn't really think through."
Gruenwald described keylogger hacking as a relatively
unsophisticated form of cybercrime.

Earlier in February, Chancellor Timothy P. White held
a press conference from his
office in Long Beach, where
students had the opportunity
to voice their questions and
concerns for future changes
in the CSU system.
On Feb. 6, many of the topics discussed were policy issues for the CSU such as the
current CSU budget, online
education (something that
White has advocated for)
and the quality of education
one expects to obtain while

according to Stateuniversity.
com, we are also the home of
our own bomb-sniffing EOD
K-9, Vince.
Vince was brought to our
campus three years ago by
Sgt. Raymond Derouin, who
had a hunch to bring an Explosive Ordinance Detection
(EOD) K-9 on campus to
protect. students from harm.
Though Vince has not yet
encountered a real bomb,
they have been called in on
several accounts of potential
(but false) threats.
"Dogs are smart, he loves
it here, he knows the campus
very much, and especially
loves the parking structure
where he gets to play and
twice a day we go to search
the campus. He is very approachable and' friendly,"
Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is an 88 lbs., 6-yearold field Labrador who was
a rescue from Idaho, set to
be put down, when someone had the idea to test him
for police Kr9 skills and he
passed. After discovering
him to have heart-worms , he
was almost going to be put
down again, but was successfully treated and cured of
his health threat. David Dorn
of K-9 S.T.A.C. (Specialized Training And Consultant) from San Francisco took
Vince in and trained him for
police work. Sgt. Derouin,
who has been here since
2007 (previously spent eight
years as a Riverside sheriff)
proposed to the UPD the importance of having an EOD
K-9 on a college campus.
, "I wrote the program for
Vince in 2009, Vince is our
first K -9.1 wrote out the need
for a K-9, what I articulated
in my PowerPoint was that
campuses are a target. You
have to add another level of
safety," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is a "passive-alert"
police dog, meaning that he
will sit down when he finds
the bomb, and gets repeated
training four to five times a
day with a sample bombsniffing exercise to keep
his nose sharp. He is also a
"single-purpose" police dog,.
meaning that his only purpose is to detect smells, not
control (military dogs).
"Everyone loves him,
he [Vince] was on TV at a
Charger's game once and
was even featured on the
front page of the North
County Times. He was even
in a competition in Modesto
County and won first place
for the fastest finding time.
We. get a fair amount of
brand recognition," Sgt. Derouin said.
Vince is most likely going
to be retiring next year due to
a bad (but attended to) case
of hip dysplasia that led to
the need of finding a smaller
car for him to get into, given
that he must jump in and out
the car many times a day.
They hope to find a replacement or two once Vince goes
into retirement.
"We don't want to run him
into the ground, we want him
to have a comfortable retire- .
ment. He isn't property; he
is more like a human to us
He has been a great asset and
everyone loves him," Sgt.
Derouin said.

Cougar baseball remains undefeated
Chapman, Bethesda both go down as team improves t o 7 - 0
B Y ALEX FRANCO
SPORTS EDITOR
The CSUSM baseball team
leaves no doubt in anyone's
mind that its mission this
season is to win a national
title.
After the Feb. 8 game vs
Chapman was delayed due
to weather, the game was
rescheduled to Monday Feb.
11. The delay wasn't enough
to stop them from exerting
their will on visiting Chapman, beating them 3-0 to
improve to 4-0 on the season.
Pitcher James Dykstra
fueled the win, pitching
seven innings of nearly flawless baseball, only allowing three hits, while striking
out nine batters and walking
none. Brandon Bentson got
the cougars ahead early and
gave Dykstra an early lead to
work with when he belted a
single to right field to bring
around Mike Guadagnini
for the score. The Cougars
would add two more runs
in the game but would only
need the one run to win, as
Dykstra, Frank Charlton and
Hunter Brown all combined
to complete the shut-out.
On Feb. 12, Chapman
would return and face the
Cougars once again and
would put forth a better fight.
Just like the first game,
Brandon Bentson got the
Cougars off to an early lead
in thefirstinning with a right
field single to bring in Tyler
Bernard.
Chapman would answer
back in the third inning with
a run of its own, to tie it up
against starting pitcher Steve
Messner. In the bottom of
the inning, Kenny Belzer
would put the Cougars up
again with a 2 RBI single up
the middle, and would add
another run in the inning to
go up 4-1. The game would
continue as a back and forth
affair as Chapman scored
3 runs of its own to tie the
game in the next two innings.
With the game tied up 5-5
in the seventh inning, Belzer
would once again come up
with runners on base and give
the Cougars the winning run.
After an error from the left
fielder, Belzer would bring
around two more scores , to
put the cougars up 7-5. The
cougars would later go on to
win 9-5 and improve to 5-0
on the season.
"5-0 is a real good start for
us, we played well the previous week against Concordia,
and took a step back after
the rain delay but important
thing is we won the game,"
Head Coach Dennis Pugh
said. "February is our month
to do well in, March and
April are going to get real
tough for us."
On Friday, Feb. 15, Bethesda came to town for a double
header and the cougars wasted no time making a statement. Six different pitchers
made CSUSM history and
combined to pitch the first
no-hitter in the programs history.
Pitchers Mike Scaramella,
Kevin Hilton, Addison Domingo, Jackson Gaskins,
Tony Guerra and Matt
Bataska all surrendered no
hits to Bethesda batters.
Not to be outdone by the
pitching staff, the offense of
the team scored an astounding 9 runs in a 9-0 win. The
Cougar offense soared thanks
to Kenny Belzer who once
again got the game started
with a first inning 2-run
home-run and ended the day
with 3 RBIs. Mike Guadagnini also contributed to the
success, going 2-3 with an
RBI and 2 runs.
The second game of the
doubleheader was more of a
pitchers duel as both offenses
struggled to bring any runs
across the plate, going 3 and
out for the majority of the
game until the sixthvand final
at bats for the cougar offense.
Tyler Bernard would score
off a passed ball on the catch-.
er to put the cougars ahead
1-0 going into the game's final frame when Frank Charlton would close the door for
the win to improve to 7-0 on
the season.
"Pitching was outstanding,
it's great to be off to a 7-0
start, these were the games
we were, losing last season,"
coach Pugh said. "Pitchers
are great at getting ahead in
the count early and the hitting will get better as the
weather gets warmer."
Due to publication time,
we were unable to report on
the Feb. 19 game vs Biola.

T HE H E A R T B EAT:
Healthy eating, is cost truly an obstacle?
B Y CURTIS BOVEE
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
A common reason why
many Americans fail to eat
healthy is because it "costs
too much."
Fortunately, healthy foods
can be as inexpensive as unhealthy foods. For a fam
ily of four to eat dinner
at McDonald's, the
total cost should they
order Big Mac meals
will be around $20 to
$25.
At the grocery store,
to feed the same family of four free range organic chicken, red peppers
and squash and a sweet potato, you're going to spend
roughly the same price, if not
less. Comparing the nutritional information per meal
at McDonald's with a soda
and fries is going to surpass
1000 calories and 50 grams
of fat. The meal at the grocery store is unquestionably
healthier, amounting to less
than 500 calories and adequate amounts of essential
vitamins and nutrients.
Although the homecooked meal is around the
same price range as McDonald's and far healthier, fast
food is always going to be
easier and arguably cheaper,
especially for under-educated individuals. Without an
understanding of how to eat
healthy, simply comparing
the cost of healthy food with
fast food and junk food is
pointless. Healthy affordable
foods include potatoes, beans
and lentils, nonfat Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, whole
wheat pasta, canned tuna,
eggs, tofu, spinach, oats, and
frozen vegetables, among
many others.
Sadly, many people prefer fast food because of its
convenience, regardless of
associated risks. To have to
go to the grocery store and
cook dinner seems like a tedious task. Just think, when
you make that trip to the grocery store, you are burning
far more calories than sitting
in the drive-thru at McDonald's. Furthermore, numerous studies reveal that the
average family in the U.S.
spends less than an hour together per day. Importantly,
this statistic can be increased
dramatically if you plan
healthy dinners together on a
nightly basis.
If you go to the grocery
store and compare fruits
and vegetables to unhealthy
foods based on portion size,
the fruits and veggies are
lower in price overall relative to unhealthy foods. Educating yourself about portion
sizes will certainly help you
save money when eating
healthy. Buying produce that
is in-season will help tackle
these price issues.
If the cost is the
main reason people
fail to eat healthy,
their justification, is
inaccurate: according to the National
Bureau of Economic
Research, obesity raises
annual medical costs by
roughly $2,800 per person.
Even if you spent $200 more
per month to eat healthy, you
would still be saving money
by preventing obesity. In addition, recent studies have
shown that the annual cost
of obesity in thé U.S. is $190
billion, or roughly 20 percent
of total healthcare expenditures. It is no question that
cutting out fast food and junk
food will help prevent obesity-related medical expenses.
Yes, these costs of eating
unhealthy are often deferred
until later; however, this is
exactly the point. A Big-Mac
meal at McDonald's may
be cheaper initially relative
to organic whole foods, but
the costs associated with
unhealthy eating later in life
certainly aren't worth it.
The cost of unhealthy food
isn't just the price tag.

�Old California Coffee House Heroes among us: Curtis Bovee
The San Marcos Coffee house with flair Helping others with his medica) knowledge

SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Of all the distinguished
restaurants on San Marcos
Blvd., few have more personality than the Old California Coffee House.
The quaint café is tucked
away next to the IHOP and
offers some of the best atmosphere found on San Marcos's own Restaurant Row.
The Coffee House is primarily a more stylish alternative to Starbucks and any of
the other more mundane cafes in the area, According to
the website, approximately
100 different drinks are offered, including coffee, tea
and smoothies.
Coffee, depending on size,
usually goes from $1.60 for
a small and $2 for a large,
while the tea is generally
under $2 Smoothies are
around $4, and most of the
Espressos cost around $3.25.
There's also a rich selection
of food, perfect for any time
of the day, including sandwiches and wraps, hot soup,
salads and even pizza.
What truly sets The Coffee
House apart from other cafes
is the quirky atmosphere. The
interior has a sort of French

CSUSM's CWCW brings

The primary idea behind
the CWCW is for students

they have created. Members
are allotted several minutes

"Whenever possible, we describe the problem in terms

The CWCW is not limited
to only Literature and Writing majors and does not require students to bring work

�W hy Beyonce can get away v ith lip-syncing
BY JULIANA STUMPP
A & E EDITOR
On Jan. 22, Beyonce was
scheduled to sing the "Star
Spangled Banner" at President Obama's second term
Inauguration. However, it
was not scheduled for her
to lip-sync the anthem. It
is not confirmed the reason
why; Beyonce pre-recorded
the performance last minute.
Good news, her performance
during the Super Bowl halftime show showcased her
ultimate diva alter-ego and
why I think she i s the best
superstar of this generation.
I remember first hearing
Beyonce in the nineties with
the all-female R&B group,
'Destiny's Child' (as most
of us have) in middle school.
Honestly, I was too obsessed
with Hilary Duff (guilty) and
Lindsay Lohan (remember
when she barely could sing?)
to focus my attention to their
music. But I am proud to say
that my ear has learned to
appreciate good music. Their
album "Destiny Fulfilled" really caught my attention even
though it was the last album
the group made together, I
still followed Beyonce's solo
career (again, as most of us
did).
Since leaving 'Destiny's
Child', she has won 14
Grammy's and seven Billboard Music awards. She
has also become one of the
most influential musicians
of all time, and has now established herself as an actress most known for her
work in the film adaptation
of "Dreamgirls" and showing her goofy side in "Austin
Powers in Goldmember."
I really don't need to list of
all her accomplishments to
explain what an amazing and
talented person Beyonce is,
but it doesn't hurt to refresh
people's' minds. Her talent
doesn't just speak wonders
but her personality and charisma is what makes people
all over the world love her.
She always appears with
such class, grace and respect
for herself and those around
her. Let's not forget her show
of compassion when Kayne
West interrupted Taylor
Swift's acceptance speech
at the MTV Awards in 2009
and Beyonce called her back
up onstage to finish properly.
I don't know many artists
that would do that.
Simply put, Beyonce can
get away with lip-syncing
because we know her talent
is genuine. She sells out concert venues in minutes and
her albums sky rocket to the
top on iTunes. Honestly, it
seems this woman can do no
wrong (even by naming her
baby "Blue Ivy"). Beyonce
is just barely over thirty and
has a legacy that will last for
generations.

Editors' Topics: Working out
Given that our school provides a fully equipped and
assessable gym, we thought
it might be interesting to see
if students actually take advantage of it, think it's not
that great, or would prefer
to workout at home instead.
The Cougar Chronicle editors discuss their opinions of
an on campus gym.
Having a gym on campus
makes motivating myself
to go work out a lot easier.
Since I live at The Quad, it
is great to have such a close
proximity where I can walk
to and from: The fact that
all students have access to it
helps because my roommates
and I often go together, so it
allows for working out to be
a social thing rather than just
another chore.
Features Editor
Katlin Sweeney
I have been working out at
the Clarke gym for the past
year and love it. Not only do
I take advantage of the spinning bike and ab cruncher
machines, but I also love
the Ashtanga yoga that the
Clarke provides. I enjoy it
when it is time to go to the
Clarke to do my workout, especially because it is free. If I
were to do the same workout
out in town it would cost me
a pretty penny. Plus it's conveniently on campus for us
students to take advantage of
anytime we feel so inclined.
Opinion Editor
Jessie Gambrell
I like the Clarke because
they always have awesome
events and cool classes going on like Zumba. It's just
a nice place to go to workout with friends. I love their
treadmills too because you
can plug in your iPod and
watch Netflix or Hulu Plus
on it. Plus, its free to students! It's a great deal.
A & E Editor
Juliana Stumpp
I enjoy the Clarke because
of its convenience in my daily schedule. It is open even
during my off times and has
the equipment necessary for
a good, full enough workout.
I always leave feeling accomplished and proud of my
overall efforts.

How'You Only Live Once' term is
effecting the mind, body, soul
BY JESSIE GAMBRELL
O PINION E DITOR
Not sure if you are aware
of this popular acronym being used everywhere; YOLO
- You Only Live Once. It's
all the rage right now, which
makes sense since our society seems to have tendencies
to go out and do things that
may not be all that moral
or right.
They go out and do
these things just because they think that it
will be the only chance
they've got to live life
the way they want to.
Yes, we are only on
earth for a "short"
time, which can justify doing fun things
or taking up once-inlifetime
opportunities. However, being
that we only "live once,"
this does not mean that we
should go out and do things
that would otherwise be illegal or immoral.
And as I have already
seen, salesmen have already
started to use it against us. I
saw an ad the other day that

heels saying, "Buy these
heels! Y OLO!"
*
Even your friends can dangerously use it against you.
For example, someone could
say, "come drinking with us,
YOLO" or "YOLO, why not
smoke a joint with us?" See
what I mean? People who
are vulnerable to this mindset can get caught up in some
nasty stuff very quickly.

According to Catholic belief, there are three places
where your soul can go after

those who are not quite worthy of Heaven yet; and Hell,
the place where all who reject God and accept Satan

Father Gregory Boyle is a
name that has been floating
around campus the past several weeks.
Boyle, a Jesuit Catholic
priest, is known for his dedication to the service of the
lost homeboys and homegirls
of East Los Angeles County

1992.
On Monday, Feb. 11,
Boyle came to speak to a
sold-out crowd of 1,400 people in parking lot "N," under
a large event tent. More than
500 CSUSM students and
faculty members attended
the event to hear the inspiring stories from Father Boyle
and to learn from his compassion and humbleness.
Father Boyle spent the
night telling stories of the
homeboys and homegirls that
pulled at heartstrings. People everywhere were grabbing for tissues in response
to the tragic misfortune and
the touching stories of healing and retribution shown to
them by Father Boyle and his
colleagues.

Since 2007, the State appropriation to CSUSM has been cut by
approximately $20 million or 20 percent while the number of
students has increased by approximately 20 percent.
The budget reductions of the past five years have seriously
undermined the ability of our campus to maintain the current
levels of student support.
In order to protect and preserve the things we value most
at CSUSM, the campus is exploring creation of an Academic
Excellence & Student Success Fee.
To learn more about the process, what a Academic Excellence &
Student Success Fee would mean to CSUSM, and provide your

SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Monday mornings are always a challenge, especially
during the winter. So to make these d readed mornings
a little more pleasant, this shuffle presents five tracks
that will help get over your monday-morning-blues.
" Cough Syrup" b y Young the Giant
Young the Giant is comprised of five musicians with
diverse background, all from the neighboring city of
Irvine, California, with a b and name purposely chosen
to evoke curiosity. Cough Syrup was number three in
the Top 100 Billboard Alternative Songs. Being very uplifting a nd sunny, I guarantee you will want to look up
the lyrics to sing along.
"Thrift Shop" b y Macklemore
Some might find this song vexing, but I think it's genuinely c atchy. It makes fun of those who spend too
much money on a shirt a nd e nded up dressing the
same as everyone else, among similar situations. The
quirky video is a combination of "The Fresh Prince" a nd
modern hipster, all guided by a sax sample. Macklemore has a range of tracks, some talking about
same-sex marriage a nd his struggle with addiction in
his album "The Heist."
" My Body" b y Young the Giant
There is a reason Young the Giant is listed twice, a nd
that is b ecause they are worth listening to. "My Body"
w as written a nd performed exactly for that purpose, to
j am out a nd get pumped. Some argue that Sameer
G adhia (vocalist) is talking about i ce cream, but I personally think he is referring to the Monday mornings in
which your body is immobile a nd glued to the bed.
"Ho Hey" b y The Lumineers
Although the b and left this years Grammys empty
handed, they h ave earned a spot on our iPods. It is the
first single from their trending self-titled album. This folkrock song is so genuinely refreshing that it will guarantee a smile on your f ace for the rest of the day. It has
b een featured in numerous commercials in the U.S a nd
even in the U.K.
"Drunk" b y Ed Sheeran
• The title basically says it all. It is a n anthem to remember (or not) the past weekend as you walk into your
GES or business law class with a much n eeded Starbucks drink in hand. Many know Ed Sheeran from the
chart-topping "The A Team," a nd you c an recognize
his mellow yet intoxicating v oice alongside a n at-ease
b eat in this song.

"The Master"
Starring the talented Joaquin Phoenix,
"The Master" focuses on the story of Freddie Quell (Phoenix), a World War II naval
veteran struggling through his PTSD a nd
his inability to fit into the world. By a stroke of luck, he
stumbles upon Lancaster Dodd (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a n organization known as
The Cause. As Quell steadily submerges himself deeper
within the group's system, his own philosophy a nd lifestyle
choices are challenged, a nd his life is forever c hanged.
"Zion" b y Hiiisong United
As the third studio album by the highly
popular Hiiisong United, "Zion" contains
the fuses the elements of modern rock
a nd contemporary Christian music to reinvent not only the modern worship music, but also recreate their sound. Such songs included in this album will

"How to Survive a Plague"
Based on a powerful true story, "How to
Survive a Plague" is the inspirational documentary tracking the stories of young
men a nd women who fought against the
tide of AIDS prejudice to lay down the first steps to AIDS
awareness a nd treatment. They fight tooth-and-nail for
scientific research a nd penetrate pharmaceutical a nd
governmental industries. This underdog group of grassroot activists battled against highrisksto gain revolutionary medication to treat a n epidemic no other group
would support, changing the world as w e know it today.
"Hagar's Song" b y Charles Lloyd a nd
Jason Moran
As a n established jazz musician of over
fifty years, Charles Lloyd has c ome o nce
again to release a joint album with the
talented Jason Moran. With mixtures of Lloyd's pensive
flutes a nd Moran's dark-toned accompaniment, the
five-part dedication to Lloyd's great-great grandmother's life heads this masterpiece of a n album with beautifully composed a nd heart-wrenching songs.
C SUSM faculty member t o present piano recital
B Y R YAN D OWNS
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
It could be said that there is
only one thing more pleasant
than a recital by a talented
and dedicated pianist, and
that is a free recital by the
very same talented and dedicated pianist. Fortunately,
CSUSM will be showcasing
the latter at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Arts 111.
Last year, CSUSM's very
own music professor, Dr.
Ching-Ming Cheng, mesmerized the school with a
fantastic showcase of her
talents, backed by a life of
extensive experience in solo
and collaborative concerts all
over the globe. Her career
has also involved multiple
teaching positions at schools
across America, ultimately
leading to her incredibly
welcome arrival at CSUSM
in the fall of 2011.
The recital is one of the
many ways Dr. Cheng's
involvement at the school
goes beyond teaching; she
also has plans to develop a
complete music department,
separate from the music and
theater department.
"We want to expand, and
take this program onto a different level," Dr. Cheng said,
mentioning how few students
at the school major in instrumental music. In fact, majors
in specific instruments, such
as piano, were not previously
available until Dr. Cheng's
arrival.
"Now that they have me,
we are trying to recruit more
music majors," she said, emphasizing the focus on piano.
She hopes the set-up can
involve one-on-one instruction, so she can have a handson interaction with students
who are interested in piano
and other music.
Dr. Cheng hopes to get a
music department up and
running at the school at least
by the next semester, but she
believes the primary obstacle to this goal is the fact
that students who may be
interested may not be aware
of her efforts. She hopes the
recital can raise awareness of
what she is trying to do, and
hopefully draw students who
may be interested in becom-
ing music majors and helping to establish a department
on campus.
As for the concert itself, Dr.
Cheng enjoys playing music
from several major historical musicians in chronological order, beginning with
the seventeenth century and
moving to modern day, in a
show that will cover music
from Chopin, Beethoven,
Rachmaninoff, and Brusoni.
"He actually arranged a
piece written by Bach," she
said excitedly of Brusoni,
the most modern of the featured musicians, "so it kind
of brings it full circle."
The recital will go for
about ninety minutes, and, of
course, it is free.

"Arrested Development"
Must Watch Episode: Season 2, Episode 3: Amigos!
The most original and underrated comedy of all time,
"Arrested Development" is
a show that aired on the Fox
network for only three seasons. The show is so unique
because of the diverse and
quirky characters as well as
outrageous storylines. Jason Bateman plays Michael

Mie h a el
Sr. (played

"creative accounting." During the process of
the investigation, the rest
of the Bluths' moves into
a model home. In addition
to being the single father of
George Michael (played by
Michael Cera),
he is responsible for his
two immature
brothers Gob
(played by Will
Arnett)
and
Buster (played
by Tony Hale).
His twin sister
Lindsay
(played by Portia de Rossi)
and her family,
aspiring actor Tobias Funke
(played by David Cross) and
scandalous teenage daughter
(played by Alia Shawkat)
also take residency there. To
complete this talented cast
is Jessica Walter who plays
the vain and self obsessed
Lucille Bluth, mother of the
Bluths. Ron Howard offers
his voice as the narrator who
offers the sarcastic and witty
tone. In spring 2013, Netflix
will reboot the series with
brand new episodes.

Athlete spotlight: Terrence Buchanan
Pitcher w ith a passion
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Senior pitcher Terrence
Buchanan combines two crucial elements when he plays
baseball: heart and dedication. The talented baseball
player is looking forward
to continuing his career at
GSUSM this year and seeing
his team have a successful
season.
Question: When did you
start playing baseball?
Answer: I began playing
tee ball when I was 5 years
old.
Q: Do you currently or
have you played any other
sports?
A: No baseball is the only
sport I play, it's the only sport
I 'm so passionate about.
Q: How has your experience been on CSUSM's
team?
A: It's been fantastic for
only being part of the squad
for a semester so far. We
have a great coaching staff
and a talented group on the
field.
Q: In what ways do you
think you have improved?
A: Coach Clements has
brought a whole new approach to my attention with
fine focus and details that
I probably wouldn't have
even thought about before.
He teaches in a way [that]
allows you to simplify the
game.
Q: What are some of your
goals for this season?
A: I 'm actually undergoing
season ending surgery on my
throwing shoulder. But I still
plan on supporting my team
from the dugout and passing
on all my knowledge to the
younger guys who I will be
playing on thefieldwith next
year.
Q: What is your favorite
thing about baseball?
A: It's a thinking man's
game; it's the only sport that
the defense has control of the
tempo. Plus the length of a
normal baseball season give
you plenty of opportunities
to redeem yourself since a
successful baseball player
only gets 3 hits out of every
10 at bats.
Q: Who has motivated
you the most in your career?
A: My head coach from
high school. He was the first
person to plant the idea in
my head that I can play at a
collegiate and professional
level. That year the Kansas
City Royals in the Major
League Draft took me in the

48th round in 2008.1 chose
to go to school and get an education with a little guidance
from Coach Giaime.
Q: Do you see baseball
as part of your future after
college?
A: I definitely do see basébail in my future. I still talk
with Major League scouts
along with having some ties
with scouts in Japanese Professional Baseball as well.
If neither of these routes
work out in my favor I plan
on coaching high school
baseball at Del Norte High
School in San Diego.
Q: What is the best adr
vice you have ever received
from a coach/parent/etc?
A: Coach Giaime said
something to me when [I
was a] junior in high school
as I sat at his dinner table in
his home. "Do the right thing
when no one's watching, [it's
the] mark of good character."

Scorching men's basketball winning streak reaches double digits
B y A LEX FRANCO
S PORTS E DITOR
The past two weeks of
men's basketball has been
more of the same of what we
have corile to expect from
Coach Jim Saia and the Cougars.
The team began a three
game stretch on Jan. 23 in
a road game against Point
Loma Nazarene, which the
cougars won 81-64, shooting an astounding 50 percent
from the field and hitting 7
three pointers to outpace the
Sea Lions of PLNU.
Point guard Danny Redmon led all CSUSM scorers
with 16 points and 3 assists.
Joining Redmon in the double-digit department were
forward Jacob Ranger and
guard A J . Gaspora scoring
15 and 13 points, respectively.
Two days later on Jan. 25,
the Cougars hosted UC Santa Cruz in front of a capacity and loud crowd at Mira
Costa College. The Banana
Slugs kept the game close
for the first half as they only
trailed the Cougars by 8 at
halftime,
CSUSM would allow
UCSC to stay in the game
long when they opened the
second half with a run that
led to a 31 point lead midway
through the second half and
never looked back cruising
to victory in a blowout and
winning the game, 99-56 for
their tenth straight victory.
Quincy Lawson was the
standout performer in the
match with 12 points and 12
rebounds, recording the first
double-double of the season
for any CSUSM player. The
game also featured every
player on the roster registering a score for the second game in a row and five
CSUSM players scoring in
double digits. Danny Redmon once again led the team
with 19 points followed by
Jose Rivera with 15 points.
The 43-point margin of victory and 99 points scored
overall were both school program records at the time, until the Cougars played their
next game.
The final game of January
proved to be a special one
indeed as the Cougars' had
a record night for the second straight game trouncing
the visiting La Sierra 11171 in front of another large
home crowd. The 111 points
scored, obliterates the previous school record for total
points scored which was set
the previous game against
UCSC. The 40-point margin
of victory fell short of the
school record of 43, also set
in the previous game.
The Cougars came out
swinging right from the get
go, jumping out on a 12-4
run within minutes of the
opening tip-off forcing an
early timeout called by La
Sierra. CSUSM was up as
many as 24 in the first half
leading to a 60-38 first half
lead at the break. The second
half saw much of the same
as the cougars kept the pedal
to metal and piled the points
on, leading by as many as 44
towards the waning minutes
of the game .
The men's basketball team
continued its phenomenal
shooting performances over
the past few games with another great night of shooting,
making 52 percent of their
shots taken frorfi the field.
Quncy Lawson scored 18
points to lead all scorers in
the contest on 9-13 shooting,
with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks
and 2 steals. A J . Gaspora
continued his hot shooting
with another double-digit
performance, scoring 17
points on. 7-11 shooting and
3-6 from 3-point range.
•The games high point was
Adam Alfaro's stretch in
the second half, where he
wouldn't be denied and sunk
4 three point shots in a row
on his way to a season high
15 points. Danny Redmon
contributed great point guard
play, dishing out 9 assists to
his teammates, marking it
yet another game where all
players scored a. point and
six players scored in the double digits.
The win was the Cougars
eleventh in a row and 14 of
their last 15 games.
The Cougars take to the
road for their nextfivegames
and won't return home until
the final game of the season
on Saturday Feb. 23 when
they take on Bethesda at
Mira Costa college at 7:30
p.m.

If you could help 50 people, would you?
According to the National
Institutes of Health, experts
say that organs from one
person can save or help up
to 50 people. Sadly, there is
still overwhelming need for
donors.
Currently, over 118,000
people are waiting for an organ. Of those 118,000 people, 18 will die each day. Astonishingly, one organ donor
can save up to eight lives.
The first successful organ transplant was a kidney
transplant performed in 1954
between two identical twins.
According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, there have
been about 559,000 organ
transplantations to date.
Considering the overwhelming need, this is not enough;
Furthermore, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2.5 million people die per year in the
U.S. alone. Imagine if just 10
percent of these people were
organ donors.
Don't let the myths surrounding organ donation
hinder you from becoming a
donor:
-Because you are an organ
donor does not mean hospital
staff will not work as hard to
save your life.
-Organ and tissue donation
does not affect your appearance for a funeral.
-You are never too old to
donate.
-You might think your
health stinks; however,
chances are pretty slim that
your organs would be rejected.
To be an organ donor is
easy. Simply fill a form on
the DMV website and you're
finished. Can you really
think of a justifiable reason
not to donate?
Take 5 minutes of your
time and sign up to save a

One in three women on
the planet will be raped or
beaten in her lifetime. One
billion women violated is an
atrocity. One billion women
dancing is a revolution.
With this intriguing premise provided on the CSUSM
website by the Gender Equity Center, One Billion Rising
is an event that leaps off the
page.
This worldwide movement seeks to end violence
and gender discrimination
through raising awareness. If
you are a student that is looking for something a bit more
meaningful to take part in
on Valentine's Day, you are
in luck, because the movement is coming to CSUSM.
The One Billion Rising event
will be held from 11 a.m.to 1
p.m. on Valentine's Day, Feb.
14. in front of the library.
"Most women suffer abuse
or death at the hands of
someone who claims th&t
they love them. That's why
Eve Ensler, the creator of
the world-famous Vagina
Monologues, came up with
the idea of the event on
Valentine's Day, which is
a day when everyone typically thinks of things like
romance and love," Gender
Equity Center Director Lea
Burgess-Carland said.
One Billion Rising brings
together hundreds of millions of women from all over
the globe so that they can
take a day to march, dance
and stand for an end to violence towards women. It is
an enormous program that
does not occur in just one
location, and there are centers all over the world where
celebrations are being held,
including in San Diego.
"It's important to bring this
event to CSUSM because
women in their college years
are at the highestriskfor sexual assault. Even one woman
sufferingfromsexual assault
is too many for me," Gender
Violence Educator Raven
Gates said.
As part of the event, women all over the school will

A & E EDITOR
For many of us, our first
campus experience was orientation, when we first figured out the struggles and
frustrations of signing up for
classes.
Although we quickly came
to reality with some college
procedures, it was a new beginning that paved our way
to where we are now. In the
Fall 2012 semester, Rachel
Quam and Joseph Sandoval
were honored with the positions of Orientation Team
Directors for the 2013-2014
school year. They discuss
with the Cougar Chronicle
their game plan for the new
yedr, as well as the benefits
of Student Life and Leadership (SLL).
Question: What campus
organizations are you involved in?
Joseph Sandoval: I am involved in Orientation team
and Sigma Alpha Epsilori. I
am also a SSS and OTRES
student.
Rachel Quam: I am currently involved with Orientation Team. I also live on campus at the University Village
Apartments and work at The
Clarke as a student assistant.
Q: How has the SLL office inspired you on campus?
JS: I see it as a safe space

the individuals associated

Restaurant for your buck

Money Pit, the best bang
B Y A LEX F RANCO
SPORTS EDITOR •
On the corner of Mission
Avenue in San Marcos lies
a building that most people
would likely pass by and not
notice.
This green and white painted building, which at first
appears to be a bank, is none
other than San Marcos' very
own Money Pit restaurant.
The Money Pit is a traditional American fast food
restaurant. It serves classic staples; among them are
cheeseburgers, which can be
stacked high with four patties and four slices of American cheese. The menu also
offers a plethora of other
American classic restaurant
favorites such as sandwiches
with anything you can dream
of inside, salads loaded to
the brim, chicken strips,
hot dogs, corn dogs, handscooped milk shakes and
everything in between.
"We come here because it's
amazing food at an unbeatable price. I would say it's
right up there with In-N-Out
Burger as far as taste goes,"
two customers, who frequently visit the restaurant
regularly, said.
Money Pit really takes its
name to heart when it comes
to restaurant decor. They
have literally decorated every inch of the dining room
with anything and everything money or financially
related, from the floors covered with coins to the walls
full of movie posters related
to money and old American
antiques.

food gets you in the door, but
it is the service at The Money Pit that keeps you coming
back again and again.
Once you order your food
and get your drink, sit down
and let the staff at Money Pit
bring your order to you, tableside, something not often
seen at most fast food restaurants.
There are plenty of reasons
that Money Pit is a must-go
place to eat, but it's up to you
to go in and see for yourself
why this is the only Money
Pit around, and for good reason.

just a smidge out of the box
to save yourself the problem
of booked-solid restaurants
and events.
Don't throw things up in
the air. If you're intending
to do something for Valentine's Day, at least make
some sort of plan for the
day. Don't wing it just because spontaneity is romantic. There is a possibility that
things just won't work out,
and it woyldn't look like the
thought that should count
was put into the day.
We also cannot stress it
enough to not use this day as
a cover for ulterior motives.
Regardless of the level of
intelligence of your somewhat-significant other, no
one enjoys being played for
benefit of another's fiilfilled
desires. Keep both parties involved in mind, and always
make certain that everything
is done out of true and honest
feelings, not just obligation.
That all in mind, we wish
you a wonderful Valentine's
Day! And for all you single
people, don't worry! At least
you're not draining both
your wallet and wit to stress
yourself over the wants of
another. Stress isn't good for
that attractiveness you have.

In light o f the fact that
CSUSM was just ranked
(again) the safest California
university, it would not be a
wise idea to allow alcohol on
campus. As it is, I am sure a
good part of the reason why
we are the safest California university is because we
have no alcohol anywhere
around. I know that the crime
rate would probably go up if
alcohol were to be allowed,
andjthe number of DUI's on

go up. Alcohol on campus

We have the University Police Department to protect
us. Just because a school is
considered a "wet campus"
doesn't mean that studentswon't be getting carded. We
are all here to get degrees
and work hard for our future
but drinking with friends has
always been a college past
time that the school should
embrace. I don't encourage
drinking for everyone but
for those that do, I 'm sure it
would be favored.

Surprisingly, it is that time
of year. It has subtly taken us
all by storm, and a great deal
of us are at a loss for how to
feel about this lovey-dovey
celebration.
But what should we feel?
How many of us actually
remember the history of Valentine's Day? To be quite
honest, I know very little other than speculation and what
I 've been told. Nonetheless,
each and every description
I 've heard involves "love" to
a degree, and is often more
keen on romantic love.
Doing a broad online
search, I 've discovered tidbits of information. There
are many claims that the day
is a celebration of Saint Valentine, patron saint of love,
young people and happy
marriages whose feast day is
on Feb. 14. Some say that it
involves a pre-Roman fertility festival that encompassed
three days, taking place for
the purging of evil spirits
and deeds through sacrifice
and blessings. Others involve theories of its fabrication into the capital world to
ensure economic strength in
an otherwise "dry spell" of
holidays.
What really gets me is the
general agitation and apathy that is felt towards Val-
entine's Day in the modern
day-and-age. People regard
it with disdain when they
are without one to call their
own, or with anxiety when
romantically involved with
another. There is stress all
around, brought on by the
almost unreal expectations.
Let's be honest. For those
of you who have a significant other, you may say that
this day is not all that important, but this day has some
amount of observance simply in the essence it gives
o ff. It's the so-called day of
love, so of course some people expect at least some opportunistic displays of love
on this day. And J can imagine there is a good amount of
disappointment when or if it
doesn't happen.
As for all the happily single
people, and those who profess this day to be "Singles
Awareness Day," I think the
resentment has something to
do with it, I mean, come on.
Whose day wouldn't
be considerably brightened
some sudden
and unprovoked proclamation of
love on a momentous day?
I can honestly say
my world would
tilt on its axis if that
happened to me.
I stand in my belief that
this is simply a slightly more
special day because of the
heavy - emotional overtones
everywhere. I can't ignore
it; it's quite impossible. I
can imagine that many times
throughout the day, I 'll be
greeted by unrealisticallyshaped cardio organs, sickening shades of pink and red
and people being, as I said,
lovey-dovey all over the
place. Ah, h ow.. .lovely.
That being said, Valentine's Day is a day in recognition by many people
across the country and, furthermore, around the world.
I can't deny its existence,
and have little reason to be at
odds against it for anything
other than my own personal
reasons. But I 've yet to decide whether I want to bahhumbug it out or play Cupid
for a day. Decisions, decisions.
Cougar asks: what are y our
plans for Valentine's Day?

Next week, students will
be able to enjoy a lecture by
noted humanitarian Father
Boyle as he educates the
public on the importance of
compassion.
"Tattoos on the Heart" is
on Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. at the
CSUSM Pavillion in Lot N
off of Campus View Dr. One
of the first events of the Arts
& Lectures series scheduled
for this spring, "Tattoos on
the Heart" is the product
of the hard work of Father
Gregory Boyle.
The lecture follows his
journey to prevent the increase of youth either in risk
of becoming or currently involved in gangs in East Los
Angeles' barrio communities: He has dedicated 25
years of his life tofindingout
what triggers an adolescents'
desire to join a gang, and
to finding ways to motivate
youth to see other avenues of
life for themselves.
Having spoken to and
worked with many of those
heavily affected by gang
violence, Father Boyle provides valuable insight int<*
the world beyond what many
people see. Since starting out
in 1988,
his efforts to spark change
evolved into the creation of
Homeboy Industries. Its existence has made a tremendous impact in the community, further contributing*to the
decrease of youth involved
in gangs.
Besides his intervention
programs, Boyle's impressive success has spanned
numerous categories. His
novel, "Tattoos on the Heart:
The Boundless Power of
Compassion," which contributes to the lecture's title,
is a New York Times bestseller. In addition to this,
he has been recognized for
his work with at-risk youth,
which earned him a spot in
the California Hall of Fame.

On Feb. 28, San Diego
will host its very own Red

Typhoon Saloon in the heart
of downtown Pacific Beach.
There will be five students
representing the four major universities in San Diego County. Students from
CSUSM, UCSD, USD and
SDSU will compete to win a
$1,000 cash prize and bragging rights.
At this time, CSUSM is still
attempting to select a representative but one contender

Unlike other DJ battles
that are based solely on
technical aspects, Red Bull
Thre3style U focuses on

seeks to find the DJ that has
best perfected the true art of

Love is in the air, Or for
some, maybe it's not this
Valentine's Day.
Whether in a relationship
or not, Shannon Fox and
Celeste Liversidge's book,
"Last One Down the Aisle
Wins" is a great guidebook
f or anyone navigating their
20s. Though the authors
write to a female audience,
the advice given in the book
is really applicable to both
genders.
After the authors point 6ut
some statistics that state the
chances of staying married
double if you get married
after the age of 25, and they
review their top 10 reasons
why people get married too
young, they go on to cover
10 keys for having an awesome journey through: your
20s. Topics throughout the
book include: friendships,
family life, career path, finances, emotional management, body image, independence, spirituality, sex and
adventure.
Each chapter has quizzes
so the reader can get a feel
for where they stand on the
topic. It also gives real-world
accounts of others who have
made mistakes and offers ad-
vice for how the reader can
figure out what track they
want to get on and how to
make it happen for themselves. The authors also include their personal insights
from time to time.
Shannon Fox is a marriage counselor and Celeste
Liversidge is a lawyer who
practices family law. Both
women have seen their fair
share of clients whose marriages have gone bad, which
is what inspired them to
write this book.

happily head-over-heels in a
relationship and just needs
a reality check, or someone

With Valentine's Day approaching, independent publishers Image and Shadowline has a comic mini-series
that is "a love story to die
for." Writer Kurds J . Webe
and artist Aluisio C. Santos
po-created "Grim Leaper,"
a four-issue story which independent comic publishers
Image and Shadowline released in 2012. Readers enter the strange life, or rather
lives of Lou Collins. He is
trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, taking over the lives
of others and trying to survive
the fate of this curse. Shortly
after his 13th funeral, Lou
meets Ella, a woman with the
same curse as him. The two
do their best to find an end to
the curse while staying alive,
f or at least longer than their
previous life.
The series is not for the
light-hearted. There are a
number of graphic scenes,
most concerning Lou's and
Ella's deaths, and is also
filled with crude language.
The comic i s more orientated to mature readers and
those who can handle a; bit
of blood and guts. Still,;the
story has an interesting way
of handling the idea of love.
Santos's art is complementary to Webe's writing, especially with the unique color
schemes and composition of
the panels.
