By JEANNE RAUPP SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
With college costs and fees
increasing every semester, many
students are looking for ways
to subsidize their education
costs. For several years, the U.S.
Department of Education (DOE)
and the State of California have
made financial aid available
through a program called the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The deadline
for applying for student aid for
the 2003/2004 academic year is
March 3.
Anyone with a high school
diploma or General Education
Development (GED) certificate
is eligible to apply for needbased student aid. The DOE
web site lists all the documents
that an applicant must submit as
part of the process, including a
social security number, a driver's
license (if any), tax returns, and
bank statements.

Lady Cougars Finish 12th at Lady Aztec Invite
THE PRIDE
By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN
Pride Staff Writer
'rising water,' [which means that when] you are
standing in wet ground and your feet make the
water rise, you can move your ball."
The CSUSM women's golf team opened their
spring season by finishing in 12th place with a
score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring
Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University.
The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club,
consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5,
885 yard par 72 course.
On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first
round to finish in 39th with a second round total of
164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167
(83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while
Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot
176 (83-93) to finish 72nd.
This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times
to begin their game, these golfers were assigned
different holes to start at, enabling the competing
teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the
signal of an actual shotgun.
After the opening day of the tournament, the lady
Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys
leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior
Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83
(41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore
Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with
senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes
behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a
score of 85 (43-42).
When commenting on the challenges of the
course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos
[Country Club] is a very difficult course in many
ways. The greens for the tournament were very
unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet
and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times
the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy
places."
She explained that in order to find relief, "you
have to find the nearest point where you can drop
your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole.
You have to make sure with your group whether it
is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called

When asked how he felt about how the team did
in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who
played is capable of doing great things on the golf
course." When inquiring about requirements for
the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that
our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf
stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals.
Though it was University of Kansas who placed
first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech
pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302)
pushing University of Kansas to second place with
a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a
two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620
(305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620
(310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State
University with 622 (311-311).
Thys commented on her goals for season. "My
personal goals for the season are to attend every
tournament. I am focused on keeping my game
as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec
Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen
for the team, I know we can place in the top three
at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on
that. We have a strong team, as well as two great
girls who are about to graduate, and who I know
would love to see us go out with a huge boom."
The next tournament for the women's golf team
will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San
Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club
through March 3rd and 4th.

CSUSM students will soon
have at their disposal a state of the
artfieldhouse, located west of the
near-completed student housing.
Scheduled to be completed by the
end of this summer, the facility is
the brainchild of ASI, along with
many other intimate partners.
According to the campus website,
its purpose is to serve "as the
center of the campus community,
by developing and maintaining
facilities which enhance the
quality of campus life, and [by
supporting] the educational
mission of the University through
social, recreational, cultural and
educational programs." It will also
be the base camp for the future
physical education program.

of Gordon's achievements in the
past," Helene donated what would
be the largest single donation
from a living person in CSUSM's,
at that point, 10-year history,
totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics
was Gordon's life in so many
ways," Helene reminisced in an
interview with Coast News, "The
field house is a fine way to honor
him and to help so many young
adults."
In addition to the $1.2 million
donation, Helene's endowment
was instrumental in obtaining a
matching grant from the Kresge
Foundation. With just under a
third of the estimated $7.1 million
cost accounted for, CSUSM
students voted in October 1998
to increase student union fees for
full-time and part-time students
to $50 each semester, in order
to raise additional support for
the field house. The plan is to
raise approximately $4.7 million
over the next four to five years.
The rest of the money has
come from private donations,
approximately $2.5 million at last
count, according to Arlene Ruiz,
assistant to the vice president of
External Affairs.

most of the financial backing
for the project. Clarke's husband
Gordon, who died in 1968,
had the opportunity to pursue
a professional baseball career
after an extremely successful
college stint at the University of
Oklahoma. Instead, Mr. Clarke
took an executive position with the

Texas, but he never lost his love
and enthusiasm for sports. After
her husband's death, Mrs. Clarke

Pocas son las personas que se
imaginan las ciudades de San
Diego y Tijuana juntas, unidas
formando una sola ciudad, sin
una cerca metálica ni diferencias ideológicas dividiéndolas.
Sin embargo, la imaginación del
colombiano Bernardo Solano y
de Alian Havis es tan futurística
y progresista que este sueño se
convierte en una realidad en
Nuevo California.
Esta obra dirigida por Sam
Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año
de 2008 en el cual un gran terremoto destruye la ciudad de
Los Ángeles y las ciudades
fronterizas de San Diego y
Tijuana pronto serán unidas.
No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca
inquebrantable separando estas
dos ciudades, existen muchos
prejuicios entre unos y otros.
Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten
que los habitantes se den cuenta
que entre los dos países hay más
similitudes que diferencias.
Vega, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lipinsky, Catalina
Maynard, Gino Montesinos,
Raquel Presa y Sylvia M'lafi
Thompson son los actores que
conforman esta obra. Este
grupo actoral de San Diego
y Tijuana representa la gran
variedad y diversidad de las
comunidades que viven en
esta región fronteriza donde
no solamente hay mexicanos y
norteamericanos sino también
asiáticos, afroamericanos e
indios americanos añadiéndole
así una realidad muy esencial a
la historia.
Algunos de los personajes en
la obra dramática musical son
Sin Fin, la cual habla un idioma
futurístico donde el spanglish y
la rima son elementos importantes, el Papa Felipe que trata
de unir a las dos ciudades, y

Even A Blizzard Can't
Chill The Fire In Her Soul TO HIGH GEAR!
By ERIK ROPER
Pride Staff Writer
Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm
in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos
community members came to hear
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak
about the life and times of Norton.
Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was
scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour
throughout the US. The tour is meant to
promote the recently completed biography
by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire
In My Soul The book came out about a
month ago and is already in its second
printing.
Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard
that was swirling about the east coast at
that time last week, Norton was not able
to attend since all flights in her area had
been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn
Brown welcomed those in attendance and
gave them the standard, "We've got good
news and bad news..." line, an audible
sigh could be heard from the crowd of
approximately fifty people. But even
the bad news was not as bad as it could
have been, because shortly after Brown's
introductory remarks, audience members
were treated to the disembodied voice of
Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton
apologized profusely for not being able to
attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out
of California - and the loss is all mine."
Fortunately though, her biographer,
Lester, was able to attend and speak very
eloquently about the extraordinary life of
Norton.
Lester began her remarks by speaking
about how she had known Norton for
many years and that when shefirstdecided
to write a biography about a strong and
accomplished woman Norton was not
the first woman who came to mind. But
one day while lunching together in DC,
Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's
biography and Norton instantly liked the
idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl,
come on down to Washington and let's get
to work!"
So approximately four years ago Lester
started working with iNorton, ".. .one
chapter at a time." She described the
former civil rights activist and currently
tenured law professor at Georgetown
University as a challenging subject, "in a
number of ways. She's very argumentative,
which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so
quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind
is so broad. When working with her I often
felt like my mind was still stuck in the
sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century."
In the spirit of modernity, those in
attendance were treated to more virtual
Norton as she appeared larger than life
on the ARTS 240 video screen. The video
was a recording, from a C-SPAN2 taping
of a book tour stop, which Norton and
Lester had made at Howard University. On
the video screen, viewers were treated to
Norton's views on a number of topics such

Will t he W ar o n
Terrorism Bring
A nother Boon f or
Drug Traffickers?
By JEFF BROWNLEE
Pride Staff Writer
Since the end of WWII, one of the most
consister^ and generous benefactors of
international drug traffickers has been the
American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist
Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949,
trade in opium and heroin played a major role in
financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of
communism.
Nationalist forces driven out of southern China
into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup
and rearm for an invasion of the now communist
controlled China. These nationalist forces were
trained, and their subsequent incursion into
communist China was largely planned by the CIA.
Nationalist forces financed the operation almost
entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium
that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the
United States and other western nations.
Nationalist forces invaded China from their
Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated
and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military
operations by the Burmese army and Chinese
communists largely eliminated the Nationalists
forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce;
however, the opium syndicate established by the
nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior
to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced
very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the
activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world.
In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of
omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the
activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos,
the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a
more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma,
prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little
opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to
récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao
and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long
grown opium for local drug traffickers and with
the CIA's encouragement they began growing it
in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an
increasingly bloody war against the communists.
In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported
raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern
Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant
heroin found its way onto American streets and to
American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not
directly involved in moving the processed heroin,
but they were well aware of where it was going. In
fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao
Ky was personally involved in importing heroin
from Laos to South Vietnam.
These are not thé paranoid assertions of a
disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred
McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts
in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm
Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify
every sentence in his book. The CIA actually
obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages
expurgated.
In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called
for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct
in order increase the intelligence agencies'
effectiveness in combating international terrorism.
These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA
in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played
a major role in furthering international drug
traffic while largely failing to stop communism in
Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as
to what will be the nature of the next plague this
"intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an
unrestricted war on international terrorism.
�About CSUSM Disabled Parking
Dear Editors:
I am both a disabled person (registered
with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard
properly displayed and my student parking
permit properly displayed, I am allowed to
park, pursuant to the California public policy
stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone
restricted for time or otherwise restricted per
21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted
by local ordinance.
VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San
Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking.
However, the law of this state does NOT
allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans.
In fact, California public policy specifically
states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and
exits. When I started this semester, CSU
placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked
parking slots just south of the dome and the

Mr. (Gabriel) Martin:
I gotta hand it to you, your
article really tugged on my heartstrings. It's just to bad your position is based on little more than
emotions and naivety, rather than
logic and fact. The reality of the
coming war is simple: Saddam
has left us no other option but to
use force. And it amazes me that
so many people like you (in the
ostrich brigade), continue to have
your heads in the sand. Since the
Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has
broken every treaty, UN resolu-
tion, and term of surrender that
he agreed to. He's also tried to
shoot down and KILL our pilots
who patrol the no-fly zones over
700 times. In addition, he has-at
some point-used every weapon
in his arsenal including chemical
weapons. In Bush's last speech,
he listed a number of chemical
and biological weapons he has
yet to get rid of. We also know
that he has brought in scientists
to build nuclear warheads, which
he would love to use against
our allies, or us, or sell them

do the same. And it would only
be a matter of time before he
did get nukes if people like you
were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/
negotiation game (which NEVER
works with lawless dictators).
You have got to realize that
there are evil people in this world
who only listen to one thing: The
language of force. Do you think
the British would have just got
up and left back in 1776 without
being forced out? Did Hitler listen
to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do
you really think 100 UN weapons
inspectors in a country the size
of California are enough disarm
this guy? That is ridiculous! You
also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much
pity you feel for all the innocent
people who may die. Well guess
what; I can tell as a former US
Army soldier that we go out of
our way — more than any other
country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason
people do get killed is because
our third-world enemies usually
hide among civilians and use
them as shields, hoping we won't
come after them. In addition, a lot
more innocent people are will die
as a result of Saddam's quest for
nukes if we don't get rid of him.
Listen, nobody likes war. Not
even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting
shot at. But sometimes you do
have to fight for peace in order to
protect your way of life, and that
is a reality you need to realize.
So when the removal of Saddam
begins, are you going to support
our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend?
I hope you and every anti-war
protester will think about this:
the cost of freedom. Guess what,
freedom is not free. If you doubt
that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It
costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize.

I would like to respond to
Robert Williams' comments in
the article dated 2/11/03 "State
of the Campus Address." In this
article he states! "this semester
there is ample parking, even
during the busiest times." I was
incredulous when I read this.
Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't
spent hours driving around the
various parking lots looking for
a parking place. Nor, has he been
'stalked' by students wanting a
parking space. I applauded the
curb-parking put in place last
semester, and although there was
a "tight crunch" for parking last
semester, it appears just as bad, if
not worse this semester!
Williams? Although I don't agree
with increased parking fees I do
understand the need. But, I do
feel as though I've been slapped
in the face when the parking fees
have increased dramatically, yet
finding parking when you need it
is very dismal. Personally, I had
planned on arriving to school
this semester in time for my 11:
30 a.m. classes. I have had to
rearrange my schedule to arrive
at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to
obtain a parking space without
having to drive around forever!
Please tell me where this "ample"
parking is, especially during the
busiest hours.
Thank you,
So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed
benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies
Response:
Is There
Liberal Bias
at Cal State
San Marcos?
Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's
Feb.18 article, I find it amusing
how anyone would question
liberal bias from an educational
perspective when conservative
ideologies have been constantly
shoved down our throats from the
time of infancy.
In order for this society to
succeed with its capitalistic, elite
way of thought, the conservatives
would like to have America
believe their standards, including
correct
"moral"
thinking,
religious beliefs and systems of
oppression, should be mainstream
thought. In a time where
inequalities are more prevalent
than ever, to cry conservative
is to condone suppression, stray
from an egalitarian model and
keep society at status quo.
Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are
we) fooling students into thinking
that in order to be a 'free thinker'
that they must be indoctrinated
by liberalism?" The answer is
that we're not. By providing
students with the opportunity
to explore creatively and utilize
what C. Wright Mills called
a "sociological imagination,"
educational institutions are
simply suggesting that society
explore other ways of thinking.
Liberalism implies that we do not
have to conform to conservative
ways of thought and potentially
risk appearing as mechanical,
docile, assembly line like robots.
We do not have to accept
everything the media feeds
us at face value or submit
to authoritarian hierarchies.
Furthermore, if the push
for liberalism is becoming
an issue through so-called
"indoctrination" via faculty then
I applaud their misconstrued
achievements at "brain-washing"
conservatives into more liberal
ways of thinking. Obviously,
advocating
progressive
reformation is not biased, only
the deconstruction of the biased
realities that already exist within
our society.

typo error in the "What the
F*** are you doin Pepsi?"
article caption that appeared
in Feb. 18th issue. The caption below the singer Ludacris was meant to say "rapper."
We apologies for this unfortunate mistake.
