Movers haul supplies into Craven flail
in preparationforspring semester.
ROMAN S . KOENIG/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Despite a few setbacks, the final move over
winter breakfromthe oldLos Vallecitos campus
into Craven Hall has been hailed as a success,
according to the Cal State San Marcos official
responsible for coordinating the effort.
Dr. Bernard Hinton, head of the office of
architecture and construction and who facilitated
the move, said the majority of people and
departments originally located at the Los
Vallecitos site moved into Craven Hall during
the week of Dec. 15. Following the first transfer
into the new six-story building, faculty offices
located in the Academic Hall last semester were
moved beginning Jan. 2.
"Everything did stay to this schedule, and
we did get moved. That's the bottom line,*' said
Hinton.
However, according to Marion T. Reid,
director of library services, the move into Craven
Hall was less than smooth.
"It did not go as scheduled," said Reid,
"because we did not open at the beginning of the
semester as we had planned." The library's
scheduled opening was to have been Feb. 26.
The principle problem, Reid said, was that
Craven Hall's architect did not approve a bolt
that the shelving vendor needed to use to secure
the units to the floor. As a result, the plans for the
shelves had to be redrawn in a matter of twoand-a-half weeks.
Another setback for the library, which
occupies the third and fourth floors of Craven
Hall, is the fact that lights for the staff to work
under on the fourth floor are not yet working,
Reid said.
Recent rainstorms also didn't help the
situation, according to Reid. Because of the lack
of shelves, books had to be stored on the floor.
When the heavy rains hit (now almost two

weeks ago), there were leakage problems in the
ceiling, resulting in a few soaked volumes, she
said.
"When we came over, the contractor was
removing his buckets," she said. To protect the
books, Reid said they were covered with plastic
and the wet volumes were removed to dry out.
Despite the inconveniences, including some
reported delays in phone service in other parts of
the building, Hinton remains upbeat about the
move's general success.
"Oh, we had leakage problems," he said.
"I'm not sure that's not to be anticipated with a
new building. The silver lining behind the cloud
was that the contractor was still on site to fix any
problems." Hinton added that there were rain-
In the meantime, Reid said that the library
is open for student use of inter-library loans,
reserved class reading materials and a few other
services.
"I admire p eople's powers of
concentration," said Reid. "Because it is not

Zomalt promotedtovice-presideiit position
Dr. Ernest Zomalt, dean of student affairs, has been promoted to the
position of executive vice-president of Cal State San Marcos, university
President Dr. Bill Stacy announced Jan. 4.
"Dr. Zomalt... brings a wealth of talent in the full range of student
services as well as significant administrative and financial acumen from
prior service at the University of California," stated Stacy in the
announcement. "Dr. Zomalt will be asked to be one of two senior
administrative officers reporting to the president."
In the new position, Zomalt and his staff will hold responsibilities
in the areas of business,financialand student services, according to
Stacy.
The position of executive vice-president was vacated by Dr. Richard
Rush last year.
Dr. Richard Millman will continue his responsibilities as vicepresident for academic affairs as the second senior position mentioned
by Stacy in his annoucement Millman will continue to oversee all
teaching, discovery and learning opportunities provided to students,
faculty and the local area.
Library implements no food/drink policy
A no food or drinking policy has been implemented by the Cal S tate
San Marcos library, it was announced recently.
According to a statement from the library, the policy was established
as a preventative measure to protect and preserve library materials for
continued use. Food particles and drink spills can attract rodents and can
otherwise damage library materials, according to the release.
"On the Los Vallecitos campus there were not too many places to
eat," said Marion Reid, director of library services. "But that was more
of a family atmosphere, and food and books don't really go well
together. But now that there's the Commons Building and other options,
we felt it was necessary to implement this policy."
The policy includes sports bottles and lidded containers for hot
drinks. Students who are observed with any food or drink items in the
library will be asked to dispose of them.
Student Health Services announces opening
Student Health Services is now open at the Twin Oaks Valley Road
campus to students who need medical care.
The clinic is full-service, and students can schedule an office visit
with the doctor or nurse practitioner at no charge. Located on the first
floor of Craven Hall, Student Health Services is open Monday through
Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although student health insurance is
available for a fee, it is not necessary to have it in order to receive
services at the clinic.
Services include immunizations and clearances of I-holds for
registration. Every student born after 1955 is required tocome to Student
Health Services to show proof of measles and rubella vaccination before
being allowed to register for the semester. Immunization, if needed, can
be provided at no charge. Students are urged to do this early in the
semester to avoid waiting in long lines later.
Student Health Services also offers family planning, pelvic exams
and annual pap tests for a small fee, as well as treatment for all types of
sexually-transmitted diseases. Birth control pills cost $5 per month and
condoms are available for $2 a dozen.
Prescriptions can also be ordered at low cost, and many lab tests,
such as pregnancy testing, strep throat cultures and tuberculosis testing
(as required for student teaching) are free. All medical services are
strictly confidential.
Health education services include nutritional advice, pregnancy
counseling, smoking cessation workshops and support groups for eating
disorders and weight reduction. Classes involving yoga, Tai Chi and
Jazzercise and perhaps a walking group may be in the works if students
are interested. Additional information can be obtained by calling Susan
Mendes at 752-4915. Students interested in classes can also call this
number.

Wettest January on record
Flood damage minimal to campus
In what is now on record as the
wettest January in San Diego history,
Cal State San Marcos experienced
few problems at the permanent Twin
Oaks Valley Road campus.
While many other parts of the
county were fighting raging flood
waters and erosion problems,
university staff had to deal with minor
erosion and leakage situations,
according to office of architecture
and construction director Dr. Bernard
Hinton.
The heavy rains dumped a deluge
of water on campus, resulting in
reported leaks in the campus" new
buildings. In the Academic Hall, it
was reported that two inches of water
flooded the computer labs underneath
the special floorboards used in the
rooms. There have, as of yet, been no
reports of damage to computers.
Hinton said there were a few leaks in
some windows in Craven Hall.
At the same time, the library was
faced with water problems of its own,
according to library services Director
Marion Reid. Plastic had to be placed
over books sitting on the floor after
some had gotten soaked by leaks in
the ceiling in Craven Hall, she said.
The deluge caused minimal
erosion problems, however, according
to Hinton.
"We have under contract
engineers with respect to (erosion
control)," said Hinton. "And they
already had modeled for us an erosion
control system." Hinton said that a
more permanent system f or
controlling future erosion is in the
works.
He also credited personnel in the

help in controlling erosion. Hinton
said they were responsible f or
sandbagging and dealing with any
erosion that did occur. They also took
other preventative measures that
helped stop possible substantial
erosion, he said. Any problems that
did occur were cleaned up by the first
week of school.
Grievance policy approved by senate, president
ROMAN S. KOEWIG/EDITOR-INOHIEF
Cal State San Marcos' Faculty
Senate accepted an interim student
grievance policy Dec. 9, followed by
approval from university President
Dr. Bill Stacy.
Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the
director/coordinator ofpublic services
for the CSUSM library, headed the
Student Affairs Committee of the
Academic Senate that drafted the
interim policy.
"I was pleased to find out that
thisdidreceivepresidential approval,"
she said. The policy, according to
Biggs, is the culmination of a fall
semester-long project that looked at
elements of student grievance policies
from state universities throughout
California.
After reviewing elements of these
policies, the committee specifically
began to focus on San Diego State
University' s student grievance policy,
she said. To learn more about it, the
committee contacted an SDSU
ombudsman to help sort out key
elements of the document. Dr. Shelly
Zwick, legal counsel to Cal State San
Marcos, was then contacted to sort
out legalities of the new interim policy
for CSUSM, Biggs said. According
to Biggs, the SDSU policy was
adopted in the 1960s andhas remained
unchanged, "so we felt comfortable
using it because it had stood the test of
time," she said. CSUSM's interim
policy uses many elements from its
counteipart at San Diego State as a
result, Biggs said.
During the process of drafting
the document, however, controversy
arose at Cal State San Marcos
concerning a student grievance issue,
she said.
Pioneer reported last semester
that two students made grievances
against mathematics professor K.
Brooks Reid, claiming that Reid
favored male students in his classes.
The grievance came up during
hearings to promote Reid as Honors
Committee chair. In reaction to the
students' claims, other students later
came to Reid's defense. Reid was
later appointed to the chair position.
Biggs said that the controversy
made more urgent the Student Affairs
Committee's job to draft the interim
policy. She said that the policy

Grievance policy sets
diplomatic approach
The approval ofan interim student grievance
policy by the Academic Senate and President
Stacy is a good sign that the interests of students
are truly being considered.
The most important aspect of this policy is
the ability for a student to file a grievance at
what is called the informal level. Bonnie Biggs,
who heads the Student Affairs Committee
responsible for the document's drafting, said
that the students' best way of solving a grievance
filed against a faculty member is informally—
through a civil dialogue with a mediator where
adecision can be made without a formal hearing

Pioneer's goal: to serve you, the reader
Starting from scratch isn't easy, especially
when it comes to putting together a student
newspaper.
As the first issue of Pioneer under my
editorship hits the stands today, I can't help but
feel a sense of pride in accomplishing the nearly
impossible—literally creating something from
almost nothing.
When I took on the task of running this
paper over winter break, I had little more than an
office full of back issues of the paper. After twoand-a-half years of monumental success under
the leadership of Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan
Young, I knew I had some big shoes to fill.
However, I also knew that taking on this
challenge would t)e a once-in-a-lifetime
experience.
This first issue which you are reading now
was put together entirely on my computer at
home, as Pioneer does not yet have one of its
own. All advertising was sold from both my
home and the home of Pioneer's advertising
manager Rob Regan, since the newspaper
doesn't have a phone yet, either.
At times, these inconveniences almost made
ftie reconsider continuing with this project, as I
be somewhat different this semester. Although
the winning of awards and receiving state and
nationalrecognitionare nice, the focus ofPioneer
will now be centered more towards home—the
campus, its people, and the local community.
In my experiences in the newspaper
business, I have found that it is much more
important to be motivated to publish a high
quality paper by wanting to serve the community
in which it represents, rather than by the bait of

POINT O F VIEW
in front of the Student Grievance Committee
(which is currently being formed). We couldn't
agree more.
Filing a grievance is an important decision
on the part of the student, but coming to an
understanding and eventual agreement through
dialogue between the two parties is of utmost
importance. The "Level One" section of the
grievance policy outlines a clear procedure for
an informal solution, and there are a number of
f aculty m embers f rom c ounseling and
psychological services and other studentoriented departments designated to mediate such
grievance conflicts.
The first paragraph of the informal "Level
One" sectionreads like this: "Whenever a student
feels aggrieved by a faculty member, an
administrator, or a staff member, the student
should consult with such persons as fellow
students, the Associated Students, noninvolved
faculty members, the counseling staff, and others
for the following purposes: 1) Assistance in
defining problem, 2) Exploring options for
resolution, 3) Attempting to resolve theconflict."
A student grievance complaint can be a
sticky situation, as in the case of mathematics
professor K. Brooks Reid last semester, and
accusations by studentsagainstfaculty members
can have the possibility of getting out of hand.
This informal section of the policy may help to
preventapotential witch-hunt situation by calling
the two parties together and settling differences
diplomatically.
However, informal proceedings may not
always work, so the existence of a "Level Two"
formal procedure, where there are hearings,
investigations and a final decision by the
grievance committee, is another option outlined
in the policy.
The bottom line is that this new interim
policy furthers students' rights against possible
mistreatment by anyone at the university,
whether they be a student, faculty or staff
member, dean or program director. Even better
is the available choice to carry out a grievance in
a diplomatic fashion. Pioneer congratulates the
Student Affairs Committee.

Dear sir,
Listening to your campaign, and most
especially watching the 1992 Democratic
convention, I for the first time felt leal hope that
at last my service to my country would be
honorably remembered. At this time my service
is remembered with disgrace through no fault of
my own. It is remembered with disgrace because
I am gay.
I entered the Army National Guard when I
was still in high school, at the age of 17.1 was in
an armored infantry unit, and wouldoften spend
weeks at a time buttoned up in a tank, out in the
middle of the desert Believe me, the issue never
came up. There was never any time to think
about it; the mission always came first. My
patriotism was never in question, nor was my
ability to serve. I was a United States soldier. I
carried out my duties with pride, and I am
disgusted when anyone suggests that I looked
upon my fellow soldiers with anything less than
respect.
S PEAK O UT
STUDENT COMMENTARY
I was able to transfer into the active duty
Air Force, and spent another two years
performing in a maintenance squadron both
here and in Europe. It was in England that I fell
in love with another man who was also stationed
on the base. The love didn't harm me, it was the
most natural thing I had ever experienced. Itwas
the guilt that destroyed me. I felt guilty because
I knew I was breaking military regulations. I had
never lied before, and I always wished to follow
the rules to the best of my ability. But how couldI follow this rule? I tried, by God I tried, but
living the lie proved too much for me, and I was
summarily discharged under article 39-10:
psychologically incompatible for military
service. My discharge was honorable, but I felt
my service was a disgrace. Why should any
veteran who answered his country's call, and
performed his service dutifully, feel ashamed?
Why should anyone raised to tell the truth be so
forcedtoconstandy lie, even in hisowncountry?
I was devastated. Finally coming to grips
with my sexuality and being discharged because
of it were enough to send me into denial and
depression for over two years. I have now pulled
my life together, and I havefinallyrealized that
the fault was not my own; it was a homophobic
policy that placed an unfair standard upon me.
If I had received compassion and understanding
so that I could have accepted who I am, instead
of being forced to lie about it, I could have
continued to render the service to which I had
been trained. In the end it was the tax payer that
lost, for all the money that was spent on my
training was lost because of an outdated policy
that never made any sense.
I am hopeful that you will end this policy
that forced me to lie. Let me tell the truth, and let
me and my family remember my service as an
honorable one.
Sincerely,
Donald P. Scott

Pioneer editorial sparks response by student official
I am a little surprised at the censorship of
information in your recent (Nov. 3,1992) op/ed
piece. Surely, as journalists, you are aware of
the fact that there is more than one form of
censorship. You accused me of active censorship
by removing comments from the board in the
Dome Café. This is not denied. However, I
accuse you of passive censorship by omitting
essential parts of the story of the now infamous
"Free Speech" board.
The power of thefreepress is an awesome
responsibility. You decide what to print and
what not to print. This is censorship is it not?
You also can print incomplete or misleading
stories. This is censorship and injustice, is it
not? You also decide whether to cover an event
or not Is this also not controlling information?
You have accused me of denying "the right
for those opinions to be expressed." I accuse
you of the same violation. Several weeks before
this incident I asked to be contacted by the paper
to express alternative views from those being
presented to the paper by the (Associated
S tudents) council and clubs. I was not contacted.

Excursion to Ghana was much more
than just a vacation for students & faculty
Story, photos and graphic courtesy of MARK HOPKINS
Below: Citizens from Ho, Ghana, greet a 13-member delegation from CSU San
Marcos during a cultural and education exchange to the country over winter break.
In what was billed as a music
and dance expedition to the west African nation of Ghana became "the
experience of a lifetime" for a 13member delegation from California
State University, San Marcos during
winter break.
The delegation, which was organized by ethnomusicology professor W. Komla Amoaku, not only
learned something about traditional
music and dance but also came away
with a better understanding of world
citizenship as they assisted their Ghanaian colleagues in a number of educational areas. Individual members
worked on a plethora of projects such
as faculty and graduate student exchanges, mathematics education for
girls, and problems related to computers.
For entourage leader and
CSUSM Executive Vice-President
Ernest Zomalt, the greatest surprise
was the visit to Ho, a village that also
is Amoaku's home town.
"It was intense," said/Zomalt.
"Somehow you get conjured up in
your own mind what a village is, and
when you get their you see 2-3,000
people in a complex social organization and you find it is nothing like this
mythical village. That was the high
point personally — the interaction
with the people in Ho and the opportunities in the village."
On the professional level,
Zomalt sees opportunities for a liaison between CSUSM, the Ghana
Education Service (GES), and the
three universities that are in Ghana.
"This trip was not initially
planned for (inter-)institutional interaction," said Zomalt. "I think what we
can do for the universities in Ghana is
to probably start with some faculty
exchange to bring some new ideas
into the university because they" are
moving to the course credit system
and away from their traditional British system. Organizationally we can
help with that, but more importantly
we can help with new disciplinary
ideas of instruction, of working with
students, of delivering the program."
Zomalt adds that this could be
funded with Fullbright scholarships
and aid from US government agencies
such as USAID.
One professor who is already
starting to work with Ghanaians is
Carolyn Mahoney, program director
for the mathematics department. In a
series of lectures coordinated by Science, Technology, and Mathematics
Education Desk Officer Georgina
Quazee of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Mahoney presented a
number of public forums introducing
the concept of mathematics education for girls as well as a four-day
workshop to a group of 50 female
elementary school teachers-in-training on how to teach mathematics.
"I had no idea that I had to do
this," said Mahoney. "I didn't have
any materials, and so I thought T his
is an interesting challenge — How
will you do a workshop when you
don' t have anything?' "Mahoney said

that she talked with a number of
officials within the GES about it and
found out during the dialog that,
"...They wouldn't have anything either, so let's do a workshop where

Mexican Independence Celebration
By Leiana Naholowaa
PRIDE EDITOR
"El Gritode Dolores!"
The cry for democracy
and independence was
commemorated on campus
Thursday, September 16,
during noon hour in front
of the Dome. Alongside
ASF's cookout and players
strategizing over a game of
chess, Ballet Folklorico
Mixtlan and M.E.Ch.A
(Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan) provided music, regional dances
of Mexico, and poetry to a
cheery and relaxed audience of students, faculty
and staff.
Members of Ballet
Folklorico, a group which
began at CSU San Marcos
in 1998, are often seen
practicing outside the third
floor of Craven Hall. The
white dance costumes
reflect the styles of the
tropical Veracruz region of
Mexico. It is a region
whose beat is said to
resemble the waves of the
ocean. Colorful dresses
with bright ribbons worn
by other dancers identify
dancers of the Jalisco
region whose musical
accompaniment is the
Mariachi.
The "Jarabe Tapatio" was
performed by students
Victor Vasquez and Lili
Rodriguez, a duo on and off
stage. Widely known as the
National Dance of Mexico,
the "Jarabe Tapatio" was
originally influenced by
Asian culture about 300
years ago. "La Negra," an
all-women dance, showed
off the beauty of costume,
spirit, and movement found
within so many other
aspects of Mexican culture.
Jose Servin, the group's
dance instructor from
Mexico City, has been
dancing now for six years.
Servin spoke of such
instruments as the harp,

"Jarana," the guitar-like
"Requinto Jarocho" from
the Jalisco region and
described the culture of the
rural
Tixla-Guerrero
region.
Mexican Independence
Day signifies a continuous
call to overcome struggle.
Three centuries of Spanish
rule, 1521-1821, would not
have ended if it had not
been for many great
Mexican figures including
Father Miguel Hidalgo y
Costilla. The "founding
father" of the Mexican
independence
cause,
Hidalgo
rallied
the
Mexican people in the town
of Dolores in 1810.
Himself
a
"Criollo"
(Spaniard born in Mexico),
Hidalgo was decapitated
by the "Gachupines," the
ruling Spaniards born in
Spain. Hidalgo's famous
speech "El Grito de
Dolores" is recreated every
year on the night before
Mexican-American Celebration of Mexican Culture
Mexican
Independence
Day by the President of
Mexico. What began in
1810 would continue for
eleven more years of fighting across not just Mexico
but the whole of Latin
America.
How do students keep a
connection with Mexican
culture? Sonia Gutierrez, a
CSUSM alumna, described
these kinds of events as
First Annual Child Trot Fest
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Inter-Club Council
(ICC) held its first meeting
on Friday, September 10.
At the meeting, Dean
Manship, the new ICC
chairman, said that the primary purpose of the ICC is
to improve campus life.
After introductions, the
bulk of the meeting
involved deciding the policy details of approving
funding for club-sponsored events. Since the
student fee referendum
passed, the ICC now has a
budget from Associated
Students Inc. (ASI) of
$50,000 to fund club-
sponsored events. With
this budget increase, the
ICC now has more potential to support clubs, provide entertainment and
services for students, and
help create more student
involvement on campus.
Beyond simply funding
club events, the Inter-Club
Council is also a forum for
clubs to work together and
exchange ideas. It meets
every other Friday at 1:30
in Commons 206 to discuss new ideas, take care
of ICC administration, and
approve event funding.
PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
On September 25, 1999,
the Associated Students
Incorporated of California
State University, San Marcos
will be having "The First
Annual Child Trot Fest".
The event will begin at
9:00 am and will continue
through
12
noon.
Participating children range
from two through five years
of age. These children and
their parents will face the
challenge of walking as many
laps around the Olympic
University Track as possible.
The funds raised will provide financial support for
needed classroom equipment,
classroom supplies and playground equipment for the ASI
Early Learning Center.
The Associated Students,
Inc.,
California
State
University, San Marcos,
Early Learning Center (ASI
Early Leaning Center) is a
non-profit child development
center serving 100 families
(primarily university student
parents) with children ages
two to five years of age. The
mission of the ASI Early
Learning Center is to provide
an enriched educational program that promotes selfesteem and creativity as well
as social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth
through hands-on experience.
The ASI Early Learning
Center is asking for contributors willing to Sponsor a child
to walk. Pledges begin at $10
and the goal is to have each
child raise $100.00. Pledge
forms are available in the ASI
Service Window and the ASI
CSUSM Early Learning
Center.
The list of donors sponsoring the event include Aztec
Shops, Fish House Vera Cruz,
Home Town Buffet Pure
Digital, San Diego Zoo, and
Wild Animal Park.

Leticia Luna, M.E.Ch.A's

must represent the interests
of our people and go out
and work with the community."

Dear Psyche Fairy,
I am an older, single female
student, who looks, f eels,
and acts younger than my
age. People think I am at
least 15 years younger than
my age. Quite a few times,
younger men have shown an
interest in me. While this is
very flattering, I am at a loss
as to how to let them know I
am almost old enough to be
their mother. I do enjoy the
friendship of both younger
men and women—it keeps
my thinking open and flexible.
Help Me, please!
Sassy Senior
Hey Sassy, when you say
some younger men "show an
interest" what d o you mean?
Does he j ust look at you?
Gaze into your eyes? Look

Well, if someone is making a
pass your first duty i sn't to
tell t hem that you are
old/older than them. You are
victimizing yourself; You
are looking at your age as if
it is a big oF zit on your face
and you want to apologize

After all, she might not want
you to have this information.
If this were a d ifferent
school, I might say you lost
your chance, but lucky you!
You go to the small college
of CSUSM where you bump
into the same people every
day. This is in your favor
since you want to meet her. I
am all f or being open and
honest with people so I recommend that you approach
her nicely and tell her that
you find h er incredibly
attractive. This first meeting
is a careful dance where you
have to j udge how she
responds to you. A fter you
tell her that you fancy her,
and assuming that she seems
encouraging, explain to her
that you are interested in getting to know her. Then take
it f rom there. If she doesn't
seem too happy to hear your
c ompliment, maybe you
should j ust let it be at that.
Yes, one could argue that she
may b e insecure about
receiving compliments, but
if this is the case, then that
would be a bad time f or a
relationship [you w ouldn't
want a . .. with her???] anyway. This is always a tricky
situation because you never
know how to best initiate the
contact, and it will be even
trickier if you are a woman.
I wish you luck and romance

DEAR EDITORS:
I am deeply saddened to
hear of the death of Barbara
Pender. Barb and I were both
m embers of C SUSM's f irst
graduating class. I believe I can
speak f or the entire class, our
CSUSM family of sorts, when I
say that we have lost one of our
brightest stars. B arb ignited
that first class with her relentless enthusiasm and campus
pride, making her a memorable presence. Barb and I also
worked together at t he
Academic Math and Science
summer camp, where her ability to lovingly control, guide
and teach a sea of energetic
middle schoolers remained a
constant source of amazement
and inspiration f or me. I
learned much about life f rom
Barb. She will b e greatly
missed.

All students who are concerned
about a family member reaching
them while on campus in case of
an emergency please take note of
the following J ielpful information: If a family member needs to
reach you while you are in class,
please instruct them to call (760)
750-4567. The dispatcher is
available 24/7 and he/she will
decide what is an emergency. Lt.
Glen of the campus police has
stressed the importance of
using this number only in the
case of a legitimate emergency
such as injury, fire, or other such
life-threatening situations in
which a family member off campus needs to be able to reach a
student. Calling the number to
ask a student to "stop off after
class and get milk" is NOT an
emergency!! Please instruct fam
ily members accordingly.

CSUSM Student Teachers Lead Local Science Fair
By Kraig Kemp
Student teachers from cohort
B2 of the Multiple Subjects
Credential program took part in
the Richland Elementary School
Science Fair in San Marcos on
Thursday, September 23.
Their mission was to make
learning science fun as they
involved children in hands-on science lessons. Several fourth and
fifth grade classrooms participated in the event organized by Dr.
Kathy Norman, CSUSM College
of Education Professor.
The lesson topics included one
led by student teachers Sony a
Foster and Dawn German, in
which a laser light, a mirror, and a
radio are used to prove that sound
travels as a wave that can be captured and seen.
The cohort made sure that the
children were exposed to a great
diversity of hands-on activities.
The children expressed much joy
for the event in thank-you letters
and they had wanted the student
teachers to come back soon.

OPINION
Monday, O ctober 4 , 1 999
DEAR EDITORS:
DEAR EDITORS:
Attention drivers—so much for a commuter campus. A few weeks ago, as I was
preparing to leave campus, I found out that my car battery was dead. I called Public
Safety to ask them for a jump since they had done this for me last semester. The dispatcher's response was that they now charged a fee for this service. I would not
have minded if the fee were $5 or $10, but I was informed that it would be $20 to
$25 ! According to them this fee was due to a liability issue because car batteries
had accidentally been blown up in the past.
Other universities, such as UCSD, provide this and other car trouble services
without charging students additional fees. One would think that amidst all of the
fees included in the cost of attending CSUSM (such as the $64 parking permit), that
some portion would go towards making these types of services available to students—free of charge! Needless to say, I refused to pay thisridiculousamount and
found someone to help me—two hours later. It worries me to think that students,
especially those attending evening classes, may encounter a similar dilemma and
not have the recourses to get themselves out of the situation. We students can barely pay for our parking permit, some not at all . ..

DEAR EDITORS:
After reading the article "Brotherhood on Campus" in last week's Pride, I was
a bit peeved. I realize that Victoria B. Segail was focusing on the all-male Greek
social fraternities, but it would have been nice if a little bit more was said about all
- the academic Greek societies (academic and social).
In regard to all the community service that S AE has supposedly done the author
is mistaken about the book bag holding for the campus Book Store. This activity
is not community service because S AE gets paid $1,000.00 for providing this service. I won't bet my check on this, but I 'm pretty sure that SAE doesn't spend the
$1,000.00 on funding the homeless but instead spends it on whatever secret

CSUS&M Cartoon Was Fallacious
By Mike Spangler
I saw the cartoon in the September 20th issue ofThe Pride, a ndl read the letters to the editor in its September 27th issue. I am amazed that no apology,
retraction, or correction was printed, and, in this instance, I am ashamed to call
myself a Pride staff writer. I cannot tolerate viewing inaccuracies published
with such reckless abandon, and I feel that I must speak out in critical com-|
mentary, not as a member of the staff, but as a student of this glorious campus.
A student newspaper should strive to publish not only stimulating material,
but factual material. The artist erroneously and humorously implied that the
SM of CSUSM stands for Sado-Masochism. The artist then tried to cover up
his lack of artistic talent and wit by scrawling a few words: San Marcos. This
injustice must not stand uncorrected! Had someone simply listened to the echo
ing voices of students in the stairwells, then, assuredly, the errors would have
been avoided.
C SUSM: The l ittle u niversity on the b ig h illside...
With a lot of damned stairs. There is not a place an able-bodied student can park

make me laugh. I do not need to have taken a statistics class to know that it is
nearly impossible to use the elevators to get from the 1stfloorof Craven Hall to
the 4th floor of Academic Hall in less than 7 hours. My heart truly goes out to
the students confined to wheelchairs. Once inside an elevator, pushing a button
for a specificflooris much like rolling dice—you never know what floor you'll
actually stop on. This only substantiates the rumor that the designer of the cam
pus elevator system is also the creator of the child's board game, Chutes and
Ladders. I would like to propose that all students who must learn to negotiate
the campus elevator system on a daily basis receive full credit for having satisfied the University's Critical Thinking general education requirement.
Herein lies the true meaning of the SM of

Fatimah Cruz-Young certainly has a right to voice her opinions in the September 27 article about the Open House. However, I do wish she had taken the opportunity to talk to someone involved with the event before condemning it as a disastrous result of "poor planning".
I have been Chair of the Tenth Anniversary Committee since January 1998. F orcloseto
21 months, a large committee comprised of a cross-section of the campus community (including alums and students) has been meeting to plan, design and execute a series of 10th anniversary events taking place throughout the month of September
Our event calendar was set well ahead of Oceanside's Harbor Days and Escondido's Grape
Days. (As an aside Harbor Days attracted one-fifth the number of participants as it usually
draws due to the rainy, cold weather on that Saturday.) We were also limited in our selection
of weekend days to hold the Open House by the Jewish holiday s on September 11 and 12, the
Track event scheduling and other competing priorities.
Also, I wonder if Ms. Cruz-Young actually stayed to hear Poncho Sanchez and his Latin
Jazz Band? Certainly the crowd of300-500 people on the Forum Plaza could hardly compose
the "vacant" lawn she refers to in her article.
In addition to a careful, long planning period, the committee and several sub-committees
distributed flyers to 25 area schools; advertised in the "Union Tribune" and "North County
Times"; notified 15 other local area newspapers; aired on KPBS radio and Daniels
Cablevision; promoted through the "Pennysaver", flyers throughout campus, "The Pride",
the homepage, mailings of the special issue of the "Blueprints" to over 10,000 community
members and alumni, as well as distributed 5000 inserts of the "Blueprints" to the student
body.
The committee of volunteers worked diligently and planned carefully for many long
months. I would publicly like to thank them for their efforts. Indeed, it was disappointing to
us all that the weather prevented so many people from joining us.
Sincerely,
Jane A. Lynch
Executive Director, University Development
PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE
Certainly The Pride joins the Tenth Anniversary Committee in its regret that the celebration was not well attended. Was it so un reasonable to blame the planning for the poor turnout? The evidence was in front of our reporter.
While you suggest that students were involved, according to ASI President Waleed
Delawari, at no time was the Associated Students invited to be a part of the Planning
Committee.
(The Pride was aware that Grape Day Festival conflicted with the Open House. We only
now learn from you that Harbor Days also conflicted.)
The Pride sought out the commentary of the few other students, besides Ms. CruzYoung, who had attended the final event of the evening. The response that The Pride
received regarding the turnout ranged from "150 would be over-estimating." to "surely no
more than 200 at the most." The Pride followed up on these student estimates with an
inquiry to Public Safety's Lt. Glen, who was present at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration
for the duration of the events. Lt. Glen estimated the total turnout for the event at 150-200
persons. The Pride finds no data that substantiates your estimate of 300-500.
The Pride commends the Tenth Anniversary committee for extensively advertising the
events. Perhaps because CSUSM is a relatively new campus, there lies much difficulty gaining recognition in the established community. This also is compounded with CSUSM's commuter school atmosphere and the challenges students face in creating a community of their
own. These are just some speculations as to account for the pathetic Open House turnout.
In addition, though the weather was unfortunate, other local events, such as Escondido's
Grape Day Festival, enjoyed a successful turnout. This fact leaves the question of blaming an
act of God (the weather), for the events' poor turnout, out of the question.
The repercussions of the Tenth Anniversary Event did not end for the student population
with Poncho Sanchez's last song. As a direct result of this fiasco, MEChA, the primary
Mexican American Student group on campus, is forced to take a back seat at this year's Pow
Wow . "We wanted to sell tostadasand nachos,but were told that all was left was popcorn
and cotton candy," states Leticia Luna MEChA's president. "Taco Pablos," a Mexican restaurant who experienced huge losses at the Open House, have been semi-compensated with
exclusive rights to sell Mexican food at the 1999 Pow W ow- over and above a student organization's needs to raise funds and share their culture.
The Pride regrets that
the wrong date for completion of the Twin Oaks
bridge was printed in the
title of an article in the
September 27th issue of
The Pride. The actual
date of completion is
April 2001. It was only
wishful thinking on our
part I suppose.

A four-year degree from CSU
Stair Master, regardless of one's
field of study, automatically certifies the graduate to be a personal trainer. This is a clever utilization of the "time on task"

Supervisors at the Dome have
confirmed, off the record, that all
consumables served in the food
court have been laced with extra
calories to offset the increased
caloric needs of the campus community. CSU Stair Master faculty
should be pleased to know that an
as-yet-uncirculated memorandum maintains that "Faculty may

agree to teach a class in a third or

Validity of Parking Enforcement Uncertain
Mike Spangler
PRIDE NEWS EDITOR
CSUSM Parking Services has
been issuing citations to some
CSUSM students who are parking at the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center (SMACC),
also known as Palomar Pomerado
Health Systems building (PPHS).
These parking citations may be
invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property
not falling immediately under
Parking Services'jurisdiction.
Jim Courtney, Building
Inspector for the City of San
Marcos, said, "The property
owner or manager can have the
vehicles towed. They [Parking
Services] can control the labeled
lots, but they can't ticket kids in
those unleased spaces or they're
going t o end up with lawsuits."
Parking Services has leased
160 parking spaces for 12-months
at $1,000 per month at the 120
Craven Road property for use by
CSUSM permit holders. Leased
spaces are labeled with white
paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The
remaining 147 unmarked spaces
are not leased by the university
and are the private property of
Palomar Pomerado Health Services. Dora Knoblock, director of
Parking Services, says a clause in
the lease agreement grants Parking Services the permission to
cite violators.
Parking Services Officers are
"un-sworn officers," said Knoblock Parking Services has the
authority to cite parking violations on property owned and
leased by the CSU system.

At the end of an empty hall is a
painted doorway. Only a number
marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we
call Cal State San Marcos. Your
hand reaches out and grips the
handle as the door flings open.
The sounds of life escape from
the classroom, steamrollering over
you. The small room overflows
with students of all ages and
beliefs who have come together.
Lively discussion fills the air.
Angry students zealously fight for
their rights; others roll their eyes
in boredom. Several raise their
hand to remind us all to keep
the peace and remember to work
together. Applause booms through
the crowd, but the chain does not
break. With a new issue raised,
the cycle of anger, boredom, and
peace begins anew.
The Inter-Club Council (ICC)
meeting officially started on
Friday, February 11, 2000, with
a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs
join ICC is to receive full or
partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights
in all orders of council business.
The representative of a club gives
details on why they are asking for
the money, then all the club reps
vote yes or no to their request.
Most funding is approved for at
least half the amount requested,
as long as it meets certain criteria.
The discussion begins when the
use of the money falls into a gray
area in the rules.
The first of these discussions
fell on the request for funding of a
"Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly
because it was a large sum and
other clubs felt it might be taking
too much away from their store
of shared funds. Eventually the
motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education
club seek partial funding from the
American College Health Association. In attempting to give my
opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I
send my apologies.
Peace was restored to ICC
until The Victorious Club asked
for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a
small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be
appropriated for fundraisers. The
council quickly agreed to loan the
Victorious Club thirty dollars, on
the condition it is paid back after
the funds have been raised.
By the end of the meeting,
almost every club drew together in
an effort to find the best solution
for funding each club's activities.
By engaging in a kind of sparring
match, members saw new ways
around obstacles in order to get
to their mutual goal: to engage
students with activities that will
awaken them to their campus and
community.

District Supervisor Bill Horn
presented his "State of North
County Address" to the major
San Diego news networks and
media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in
room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my
tradition for the last five years to
tailor a message specifically for
North County," remarked Bill.
As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which
includes San Marcos), Horn works
to preserve the public health,
safety, and welfare of the people.
Five individuals make up the
Board of Supervisors. They sit
on several committees to try to
implement changes that they think
will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are
the people we send in t o deal with
all the "bureaucratic mess."
Speaking on behalf of all of
us, Bill stated, "I would like to say
thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts
for making our communities safer
and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North
County."
Horn also stated, "The Gates
Library Foundation will allow the
placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the
$140,000 in materials funding are
Borrego Springs, San Marcos,
District Supervisor Bill Horn
Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook.
Due to his belief in education
as one deterrent to crime, Horn
also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement
library in Valley Center. He also
hinted upon a new Pilot Program
that will filter pornographic web
sites in libraries. Right before his
goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your
children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your
kid to the library with a pornographer?"
To learn more about your community or who your elected officials are and what they are doing
for you, check the County of San

DEAR EDITORS,
I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids
(and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However,
I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as
Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen.

The Tomb of Saint Valentine
Valentine's Day comes when
money has been drained from our
pockets right after Christmas. It is
a holiday second only to Christmas
in spending and wrapping. Have
you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever
cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted
in such a celebrated and traditional
day?
The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and
less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine,
a Christian priest, married young
lovers against the orders of Claudius
II. According to Claudius, his men
would be less willing tofightin war
if they were allowed to marry, so he
outlawed marriage. The priest did
not follow orders and continued to
marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest
Valentine took place on February
14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later,
another martyr, a bishop, also by the
name of Valentine, was beheaded
as well.
Here's another Valentine's
story: February 15 was the day
designated to honor the Roman
god Lupercus. To celebrate, young
women would write and deposit
In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of
Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer
includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead,
sweethearts exchange cards. I must
add, however, that after speaking
with several students on campus,
I find that would-be sweethearts
claim they would prefer something
less generic in gifts, such as cards,

would have thought that the death

holiday we celebrate today?
How did the exchange of cards
begin? Another Valentine legend
arose during the Middle Ages.
Lovers exchanged messages and
gifts because it was commonly
believed at this time that birds
began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United
States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine
messages became common practice
when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland
developed the first cards and sold
$5000 worth in cards. Howland's
Valentines became incredibly popular.

you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A
Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD
compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme
songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the
film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the
film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new
songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is,"
and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw
Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The
Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for
listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either
help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes.
Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may
impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music.

If you have noticed a little
more elbow room while on your
way to classes in Academic Hall,
it is not just your imagination.
A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed
from the breezeway on the
second floor over the Winter
break.
CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San
Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to
Watch" in 2000. The
January issue touted
Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who
has eased troubling
racial discord on
campus, forged relationships with local
community leaders,
and won battle for
funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at
State Route 78 and
Twin Oaks Valley
Road."
San Diego Maga
zine reported that the
President's plans to
increase efforts for school
funding for the proposed
state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming
challenges Gonzalez will face.
The article summed up Gonzalez'
performance to date by saying, "With
enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg-
ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM
enters the 21st century as a growing
educational force with a solid
mission statement."
According to the
magazine "there are so
many watchables out
there, the hardest part^
i s narrowing the list
to 50...There is no
standard formula.
But we draw from
a wide pool of
talent, and we think
we've arrived at a
list that encompasses a broad
range and diverse
collection of San
Diegans."
Others named on the
list are San Diego
Police Chief David
Bejarano, San Diego
Museum of Art Director Don

Anthrax Scare On Campus
By AMY GRANITE
Pride Staff Writer
Campus Police received a
phone call at approximately 11
a.m. Wednesday from a student
who had discovered a white,
powdery substance in the men’s
bathroom on the second floor
of University Hall, and wasfconcerned about the possibility of
the powder being anthrax. Sgt.
Bill McCullough of the Campus
Police arrived at the scene, and
after observing the questionable
substance and securing the rest
room, determined that it was not
anthrax.
The fire department was
then contacted, as well as the
Department of Environmental
Health, Hazardous Materials
division. “The air conditioning
systems on the 2nd floor of
University were shut down
immediately,” said McCullough.
The entire second floor was
also barricaded. “We knew right
when we looked at it that it
was baby powder,” explained
McCullough, after observing the
substance. “The fire department
and Hazardous Materials thought
the same thing.”
Nick Vent, of the County.
Hazardous Materials Division,
tested the white substance with
an anthrax kit. With the results
from the anthrax testing, Kent
concluded that the material was
baby powder. Vent said that
anthrax calls are rare; however,
since recent anthrax scares, the
Hazardous Materials Division
has been on alert for powdery
substances, and they have
responded to numerous false
alarms.
“Hazardous
Materials
responded to two anthrax calls
in the last two years,” said
McCullough.
“They
have
responded to over 100 calls since
the anthrax scare started last
week.”
He advised, “If something
is out of place, such as a large
amount of powdery substance in

[ if there is] any mail that is
suspicious in nature, you should
give us a call at public safety.”
Another incident occurred
in Craven Hall around the same
time that University Hall was
under inspection. “A student
opened an old envelope that was
dusty,” explained McCullough.
The recent anthrax incidents in
Florida and New York have put a
strain on the U.S. Postal Service,
and the CSUSM Mail and Copy
Center (MACC). All mail clerks
on campus are paying close
attention to the shape of pack
ages, looking to see if there is
any substance leaking from the
package and checking for return
addresses.
If the package or envelope
has any of these characteristics
and .there is a return address,
the MACC sends the piece of
mail back. If there is no return
address, or if it seems overtly
suspicious, the MACC may con
tact the authorities.
The normal policy for
packages that have inadequate
address information is for mail
clerks to open the mall and fig
ure out where they will be deliv
ered on campus. Now, the pack
ages must be sent back. “This
policy will be in place until
either we hear otherwise from a
school policy or higher figure ”
said mail clerk Marge Cocoran.
Clerks who work at the MACC
must also wear gloves while
sorting mail, which is a newly
implemented practice. “We have
had these precautions since the
Unibomber incident, but we
haven’t had to use them until '
now,”
said
Cocoran.
In light of the general panic
and false alarms concerning the
anthrax scare, McCullough said:
“It is better to be safe than
have something that is, in fact,
anthrax. If there is any question,
call public safety.”
Individuals may contact
Campus Police by dialing their
non-emergency number at (760)

work so many hours a week,”
said Poullard about the
scheduling problems that many
CSUSM students face and which,
according to the club representa
tives, have been an obstacle for
more students who might want
to get involved in campus life.
He also asked club represen
tatives to give their reasons why
they joined a student club. Some
of the reasons given were to
build a resume, to have a sense
of belonging, and for a social
life.
Later, in Palm Court,
Poullard held an icebreaker game
for the club representatives,
which allowed them to introduce
themselves to one another.
“He was just basically show
ing how clubs should com

achieve certain goals,” said Nick
Grafstrom, Chairman of Young

Before the meeting, the club
representatives were given a free
luncheon catered by PowerSurge

Julie Wright, Coordinator of

that in upcoming ICC meetings,

next ICC meeting will be held

Patel also said “it’s impor
tant [to figure out] what we can
do, even if it’s just reaching
out a hand and publicly stating
that we are in solidarity - it’s
the best way we can move for
ward.”
“We need to create a differ
ent atmosphere, community and
world,” Patel said.
Orzala Sharif, a member
of the group Afghan American
Youth, echoed many of Patel’s
sentiments, “We fervently con
demn the Taliban and extend
sympathy to the victims ... The
Taliban and Afghan should not
be used interchangeably.”
Sharif called the Taliban “a
wild group of trained militia
who destroyed the spirit, cul
ture, and history of the Afghan
people.”
Sharif also shared some of
Afghanistan’s history and cul
ture, before the Taliban took
control. “Women used to dress
as I am dressed today. We’ve
always believed in education, a
civilized way of life. Women
voted; we had a constitutional
monarchy —it was not always
what’s depicted on TV today ”
Several others who spoke
also mentioned U.S. involvevment with the Taliban and other
governments, encouraging the
audience to remember the facts
about the history of the U.S.
Sociology professor Sharon
Elise, who asked the audience to
question the events since Sept.
11, and their portrayal, said, “It
may be decades before we know
what’s going on. There is always
an answer, contrived, packaged
and handed to us [by the media
and the government.]”
“It was the same thing with
Panama and Noriega, Guatemala
- the U.S. has a very long and
interesting history. The answers
aren’t going to come out of the
television.”
Ricardo Favela, a member of
M.E.Ch.A., but who spoke as a
student rather than a club mem
ber, also spoke out about exam
ining U.S. policies, and ques
tioned the motivations behind
“America’s New War.”
“I hope this war is sincere -r
a war against terrorism and not
people,” said Favela. “If we’re
going to have a war on terrorism,
we need to acknowledge fronts,
the terrorism that goes on [on
a smaller scale] everyday. Many
people experience terrorism on
a daily basis across the world
- racism has always manifested
itself in the form of terror.”
Favela went on to offer
examples of terrorism that
minority groups continually
face, including the recent U.S.
citation for violation of human
rights due to border policies.
Many of the audience mem
bers, students and faculty alike,
chose to speak out simply as
individuals at the forum, despite
their various involvements in
clubs, groups and other organi
zations.
Student Honee Folk includ
ed some personal background
about discrimination, and shared
a story about her mother’s expe
riences, during WWII and today,
as a minority.
“I know what it feels like,
and I know many of you know
what it feels like [to be dis
criminated against.] Don’t get
so far removed that you allow
yourselves to do this to other
people.”
“We are focusing so much
on ‘them” ’ Folk continued, “and
so many people .are doing what
we had to fight so hard, so
often, against in the past.”
Dr. Sharon Elise, a Sociology
professor, spoke at Tuesday’ forum.

(Pride Photo/Melanie Addington)
Only a few other students
spoke out, and Elise encour
aged the audience to continue
to speak, to ask the questions
that need to be addressed. “Your
silence will not protect you,”
Elise said. “We better get people
speaking, and thinking, even it’s
only to ask more questions.”
Steve Weiner then chose to
ask Elise her views on Louis
Farrakhan. Elise replied, “I don’t
think Farrakhan is significant
in this. People say stupid shit
[alluding to Farrakhan], and
those of the same ethnic back
ground seem to be associated
with those who say stupid shit.”
Elise continued, “These are
not the questions that need to be
asked. We need to think about
people who have power over
minds, media and the military,
not people who get media atten
tion which is then used against
us.’?
�Davis Signs Diverse Legislation
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
In a rush to meet las
Sunday’s deadline for the 2001
state legislation session, Gov.
Gray Davis, amid controversy,
signed 948 and vetoed 169 o:
1,117 proposed bills sent to the)
California Legislature. The bills]
included a wide variety of pro
posals, from telemarketing bam
and elementary school food t
gun control and gay rights.
The issues proving to be thd
most controversial are changes in)
a wide range of gay rights lawsj
new gun control regulations, andj
stricter environmental laws.
Proponents of gay rights wel
corned the new legislation signe
by Davis. Judith Stacey, a sociolo
gist at the University of Souther:
California, said, “Marriage is ai
ever-changing institution, even
though most people don’t realize
it.” Passed by the minimum
amount of votes needed, the bill
legally aligns same-sex marriag
es closer to traditional marriag
es. In addition, the bill grants
legal power to older heterosexualpartners, allowing each partner
to make medical decisions on
behalf of the other and take sick
leave when such a situation aris
es.
*
Opponents of the new leg
islation said they believe such
laws will undermine society and
promote unstable family struc
tures. Randy Thomasson, execu
tive director of the Campaign for
California Families, said, “People
voted to protect the rights of
marriage. This is chipping away
Gov. Gray Davis signed 948 new bills and vetoed 169 last week.
( Courtesy Photo/Gov. Gray Davis web site)
at that.”
Amid objections from the
NRA
; (National
Rifle
Association), Davis also signed a
bill supporting new gun control
standards. The new bill requires
prospective buyers to not only
provide a fingerprint, but to pass
a written test, and then show an
instructor they have necessary
skills to fire a weapon properly.
Davis also passed a law, which
now allows a database to be set
up, identifying gun owners who
legally purchased firearms and
later became ineligible for own
ership.
Further controversy ensued
when Davis signed three new bills
in favor of advocates for stricter
environmental regulations. The
first bill forces developers to con
form to standard rules when they
subdivide land prior to develop
ing. This law is to keep develop
ers from using out of date prop
erty records to raise property
value by avoiding newer zoning
maps.
The second bill places a $2.6
billion bond in the hand% of
California voters. If it is passed
in March, the bond will allow
the state to sell
bonds to fund
state and local
parks projects.
And
third,
Davis vetoed a
bill that would
have allowed antiquated oil plat
forms to be left in the ocean for
artificial reefs.
. Oil companies said they
believe the platforms would not
cause harm to the marine envi
ronment and thought the plat
forms would eventually serve as
a breeding ground for fish and
other marine life. Environmental
supporters of the bill said they
believe that the possibility of
harm “outweighs any doubtful
benefits” said Warner Chabot,
Vice President of the Ocean
Conservancy.
Closer to home, Davis vetoed
a bill that would have allowed
San Diego County to form an
independent energy utility. Davis
contends that San Diego resi
dents must pay their fair share
of the $10 billion used during
the energy crisis. Opposing San
Diegans believe they shouldn’t
have to pay for Gray’s poor deci
sions regarding power. San Diego
Supervisor Bill Horn said, “It’s
time to pull the. governor’s plug.”
Davis also vetoed a bill that
would have stimulated California
farming. .The bill would have
required hospitals and prisons to
use California grown produce.
Instead, Davis will be using a $5
million dollar advertising cam
paign next spring to try to get
Californians to eat more locally
grown food. Assemblyman Simon
Salinas, who represents an area
of dense farming, said, “I think
in general it would have been
symbolic to say ‘we support our
California agriculture.’”
In less controversial legisla
tion, Davis signed a bill that by
2003 will give people the right,
and a way, to avoid telemarket
ing. The bill will give telephone
customers a choice to pay a $1
fee and be placed on ^ “do not
call” list. “In today’s busy world,
we need as much peace and quiet
as possible,” said Davis.
Davis also passed 13 new
crime bills, including one that
will fine adults who leave chil
dren in cars without supervision,
and another that weighs old con
victions, like DUIs, when sen
tencing again for the same crime.
He also passed new higher nutri
tion standards for food being pro
vided to students at public ele
mentary and middle schools.
Unless otherwise specified or
a statewide vote is needed, most
of these new legislative bills
go into effect Jan. 1, 2002.

mation about new state bills

�Bob Dylan Plays the Old and the New in San Diego
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
Dear Mr. Bob Dylan,
I wanted to write you
a note to express my thanks for
your recent appearance here in
San Diego. This was the third
time I’ve seen you (remember
the first time in Halifax, Canada,
when your show got postponed
two days because of a snow
storm? I had driven five hours
to see the show and had to stay
for it, so I holed up in my buddy
Steve’s drafty apartment, wait
ing, smoking hash and playing
cards). I got better seats this
time.
You began promptly at
eight, opening the show with
“Wait for the Light to Shine”
— a song :you didn’t even write.
Somehow it fit though. You
walked right out in your match

all bones and angles. The rest of
the band filled in around you like
the ghost riders in the sky Willie
Nelson sings' about. 1 noticed
how Charlie Sexton (does he
really play rhythm guitar for
you?), discreetly picking away on
his cherrv-red Gretsch “Country
Gentleman”, rarely took his eyes
off you. I wonder if you are as
difficult a bandleader as they
say.
I still find it hard to

aF” Words Are Special in “My First Mister”
By STEPHANIE BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Life isn’t easy if you’re
a goth grrrl stuck in a “Clueless”
world.
In “My First Mister,” Jennifer
(Leelee Sobieski), or J, as she
likes to be called, is a pierced,
tattooed, 17-year-old goth chick
who is a self-made misfit at
school and at home. She writes
her own eulogies and watches
people through opera glasses,
which distort (with the help of
funny special effects) her view
in an Ally McBeal kind of way.
J uses her sharp wit to hide from
people and from the lover she
thinks she doesn’t deserve.
After failed attempts to get a
job at the mall (a place J abhors),
she meets Randall (Albert
Brooks), nicknamed R. Randall,
a 49-year-old single, straightlaced, uptight, “nice guy,” who
has a secret that keeps him from
making personal connections and
commitments. Randall gives J a
job .at his menswear store on the
condition that she “takes the sil
verware out of her face,” because
she is “scaring the customers.”
(J responds to this by yelling to
a passerby, “Bool”)
J and Randall begin a some
what awkward, but often touch
ing, relationship.
The humor in “My First
Mister” often comes from J and
the way she sees the world.
Humor is an important element
Leelee Sobeiski and Albert Brooks star in “My First M ister” (Courtesy Photo/Myfirstmistermovie.com)
for this story, because without
humor the movie would be.taking
itself too seriously, and some of
the more depressing moments in
the story would be overwhelm
ing.
With or without her opera
glasses, J’s perspective is unique.
In one scene her mother drives
her from school, and through
the glasses J sees her talkative
mother as Gene Simmons in full
Kiss makeup, tongue unfurled in
all its glory. In another scene, J
gives a class presentation about
her life, and she sees her class
mates with their heads down,
asleep on their desks, and so
bored that they can’t even stay
awake to listen to J talk. Another
funny moment is when Randall
tells J how to sort and arrange
the items in the back of the store,
and she sees his balding head on
top of a posing body builder.
Thankfully, the sexual com
ponent of J and Randall’s rela
tionship is only touched upon
when J wonders what it would be
like to have an older lover.
In her wondering, J pictures
Randall as her lover: the middle-
aged Randall dressed in black
from head to toe, dancing, and
grooving through the coffeehouse
which J frequents. “My lover, I
like the sound of that,” said J.
After some bumbling moments,
both J and Randall realize that
their relationship should not and
cannot go further than a friend
ship. Any more sexuality in their
relationship, and the audience
would be squeamish — none of
us want to see our moms or dads
dating someone our age!
This movie could be passed
off as a typical “coming-of-age”
movie, but it is more than that —
it is funny and warm, with tender
performances by both Sobieski
and Brooks. Their relationship
reminded me of the relationship
in “Harold and Maude,” between
the optimistic Maude and the
morbid Harold. Their odd rela
tionship was the basis for a movie
about the strength and depth
of love, and “My First Mister”
has the same message. Unlike
“Harola and Maude,” neither J
nor Randall see the beauty in
the world, but when they find
each other, they realize that there
are reasons to live the best life
possible.
As J, Sobieski takes a notice
able turn from the tall, blonde,
all-American teenager she has
played in recent movies. She is
raven-haired, raccoon-eyed, and
dreary in all black. But she has
the thoughtful, poetic, sheltered,
brooding J down pat. And with
Albert Brooks as Randall, the
two actors create an interesting
chemistry of two misfits and a
father/daughter on screen. It’s
hard to understand what they
would ever have in common, but
they pull off the relationship.
And as for those special “F”
words in the movie? Fate, friend
ship, and family. You’ll have to
see the movie to find out what
the rest are.
“My First Mister” is direct
ed by Academy-award winning
actress/director Christine Lahti.
The movie is rated R.

Latino Food
Festival

Pride Staff Writer
Balloons, bratwurst, and
bands were some of the many
features of last week’s German
Festival.
Coordinated
by
CSUSM’s German Program and
German Club, and sponsored by
Associated Students, Inc., the
Students experienced many
multi-cultural awareness activi
ties last week, with not only the
German Festival, but also the
Latino Food Festival, which cefebrated Latino Heritage Month.
The ASI programming com
mittee sponsored the Latino
Food Festival and concert on
Wed., from 11 am . to 1 p.m. at
the Dome Plaza.
The rock band “Emaue” per
festival had a carnival-like atmo
sphere.
German band, Guggemusik
Altossema Rhoigeischda, from
Heidelberg, performed, wearing
flamboyantly designed outfits
that included capes and green
tinsel. Their appearance is influ
enced by their travels to Carnival.
“Our self-made costumes really
formed and in between sets stu
dents also enjoyed music from
Radio Latina. There was a food
mmm
tasting table set up, where many
students sampled foods from
local restaurants. Chips and salsa
were a favorite snack for the stu
dents that day.
Students may also look for
ward to a larger celebration of
cultural heritage with El Dia de
los Muertos (The Day of the
Dead), which will be held on “Emaue, a Latino rock band, performed fo r the students.

make us stand out at Carnival,”
said member Holger Schertel,
who described the five-year-old
band as amateur, with an offtone style.
Other bands,
including
Rivers of Babylon, O La Paloma,
and Autobahn, also played dur
ing the three-day long festival.
Dr.
Astrid Ronke,
”
German Club adviser, said she
was enthusiastic about students
learning the German language,
and saw the festival as one way
for individuals to, learn more
about the culture.
Terence Jaffer, a sopho
more and business major, had
taken one of Ronke’s German
classes. “The German Program is
growing on campus and becom
ing more popular through the fes
tival,” said Jaffer. “I’ve learned
so much in her class and wished
it was offered as a minor.”
In celebration of the
German festival, The Dome
offered meals of Wiener schnit
zel, fried potatoes, sauerkraut,
and soda for $4.29.
�R acism Forum and Student Grievance Campus
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
First of all,- I want to voice
my opinion as a student, not as a
representative of The Pride.
The racism forum sponsored
by the student newspaper on
Tuesday at Founders’ Plaza
turned out well, but not as many
students showed up as I would
have liked. To the students that
did come, however, I thank you
all and I am very glad that you
are taking the time to hear other
opinions, voice your own, and
create a sense of community on
this campus.
However, I was extremely
disappointed when I opened the
North
County
Times on
Wednesday morning. Two stu
dents actually took the time to
hunt down the N CT reporter
to complain that they were not
represented, but neither student
bothered to speak at the forum.
In fact, I only saw one of them in
attendance, and that student left
in the middle of the forum.
I want to address a couple
of problems with thisF irst, all
students were welcome to speak
and be represented. That is the
point of an open forum.
Yes, we did have a few speak
ers — not panelists as Darren
Marks, one student who com
plained, suggested. This was not
a panel discussion closed from
outside student voice. The forum
included a few speakers who are
active in anti-racism discussions,
events, teachings, and so on. Not
everyone that should have been
represented was represented at
the forum, for several reasons.
One, many schedules conflicted
with the time of the forum. Two,
many people did not show up to
speak to represent themselves,
particularly the two students that
complained they were not invit
ed.
“The “
point” o f a
forum is for students to
voice their opinion. Not
to stay silent to the stu
dents, then complain
behind their backs.”
Everyone was invited. We
sent an e-mail out to all faculty
and staff. (We were not, how
ever, able to e-mail all students).
We posted and distributed fly
ers; we placed flyers in mail
boxes, particularly the Student
and Residential Life club mail
boxes. We also sent an e-mail
out to the Inter^Club Committee
listerv, so that all clubs could
be informed at one time. We
encouraged everyone to come to
the forum and speak, either as an
individual or as a representative
for an organization.
But, as student Darren Marks
stated to the N CT reporter, “I
think the forum was hijacked
by one political group and it
was not a true forum. I agree
to an extent with what the other
speakers said but I think the idea
of why we were gathering, the
people who died in those build
ings, was sold short.”
First, the reason we gathered
at the forum was not about the
tragic loss at the WTC. It was to
deal with racism issues. Yes, of
course WTC is involved in the
larger issue, but that was not the
reason for the forum.
Second, I spoke with Marks
moments before he ran to the
press, and invited him to speak
once the speakers were finished.
He wanted to be part of a panel.
I explained that we did not have
a panel but a forum, and that he
was welcome to speak once the
next person was finished. He did
not. In fact, he left the forum
early.
The “point” of the forum
is for students, such as Marks,
to voice their opinion. Not to
stay silent to the students, then
complain behind their backs.
Marks pointed out in the
N CT that our forum was not
a true forum. What is a true
forum?
A forum is defined in
Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate
Dictionary as “a public meeting
place for an open discussion or
a medium (as a newspaper) of
open discussion or expression of
ideas.” Our racism forum was a
true forum, as are the opinion
pages of The Pfiide.
A panel is defined as a group
of persons who discuss a topic
of public interest before an audi
ence. A panel is more restrictive
in terms of allowing audience
participation. This is not what
The Pride wanted.
Marks failed to mention to
the N CT that the last open cam
pus forum that was held was
designed as a panel, a panel that
he sat on.
The Pride did invite a few
speakers as a means of keeping
the discussion going. I am glad
that the speakers came, and
especially glad that the Afghan
American Youth Organization
came to our campus and spoke.
As for Marks’ comment
about political hijacking, this is
ridiculous. Of course. there are
politics involved — the issue is
inherently political in nature —
but the forum was not affiliated
with a particular political party
or faction.
Erik Caldwell, a representa
tive for the College Republicans,
claimed in the N CT article that
he was not invited to speak as a
representative of his club. Again,
check the ICC listerv. And next
time there is a forum, please
attend and feel free to speak.
Beat
At the graduation open forum, two
weeks ago, students concerned about
the recent administrative decision to
relocate next semester’s graduation cer
emonies to the Del Mar Fair Grounds
had the opportunity to speak out. How
ever, Founders’ Plaza remained nearly
empty that day.
“Why is it that most students say
they dislike the university’s decision
in moving graduation off campus, yet
hardy anyone supported the forum in
attendance?”
By JUSTIN ANDREWS
Pride Staff Writer
I have received many e-mails from
students expressing their concern. I
would not call the lack of students at
the forum apathy. I know many stu
dents could not attend. It’s the lack of
administration attendance that shows
the underprovided sense of community
here on campus. This is against our five
basic core values, our mission state
ment, and Alexander Gonzalez’s .con
vocation address.”

Letters to the Editors
Call for
Activism
My purpose in writing this
brief letter is to encourage addi
tional activism on the part of the
CSUSM community: students,
faculty and staff. It is not enough
to react to events in the world.
For our own survival, as part of
the human race, we need to pre
vent man-made disasters wher
ever they may occur: oppres
sion and injustice, which lead
to terrorism/war. The Internet
offers us a means to become
informed as well as involved.
I would like to recommend sev
eral websites:
To find out how the U.S.
and other nations stand on the
issue of human rights : aiusa.org
(Amnesty International) and
humanrightswatch.org;
To learn about the plight of
Afghan women (who oppose a
government by either the Taliban
or the Northern Alliance):
rawa.org;
To contact the President’s
office and Congressional mem
bers: congress.org.
I would also like to encour
age everyone to read an editorial
by Jonathan Schell, “Annihilation
and the Ways of Peace,” which
now appears at thenation.com,
and to watch “Link,” an inter
national television channel, that
offers multiple perspectives from
around the world.

After all the violence that has
been going on lately in the news,
I picked Up the current Pride
and started reading. I got to the
article by James Newell titled,
“Surfing a Way of Life, Dude.”
The article made me smile, feel
peace, remember the days, then
laugh. It was great. I could see
Jeff Spicolli or Jim talking about
surfing. I felt the calm of the
sea. I don’t surf, but I felt it. We
needed this story at time like this.
Thanks a lot, Jim. Good job.

President
Gonzalez
The United States was found
ed on the principles of freedom
and equality. CSUSM is a public
institution in the United States;
why then are policies at CSUSM
decidedly unequal?
Parking at CSUSM can cur
rently be grouped into three dif
ferent categories: disabled, staff/
faculty, and student. Yet all per
sons are supposed to be created
equal. If we are created equal,
should we not be treated as
equals? Not at CSUSM, appar
ently.
•
It is certainly understand
able that those who are disabled
have the ability to park in the
closest spaces. Parking for dis
abled persons is a reasonable
accommodation to provide for
those who need it, and according
ly, many people at CSUSM take
advantage of the special parking
spaces accordingly, teachers and
students alike.
What is wrong, however, is
the special privileges granted to
staff, faculty, and administra
tors. These people do not need to
receive better access to prefera
ble parking spaces than students. Arguments
to drag a great deal of material
to class every day, and arrive on
time. If teachers and admin
istrators cannot plan success
fully to get themselves and their
belongings where they need to
be on time, they are lacking
skills necessary for their job.
Parking space location should
not be a bandage to cover up for
laziness or poor time manage
ment anymore than it should be
used to create special privileges
for special (unequal) people.
The solution is simple. End
the use of special lots or spaces
for anyone other than disabled
persons. If President Gonzalez
or anyone else feels a need to join
the parking elite, they should cut
off their foot, and get a blue
placard for using disabled park
ing spaces.

Invitational. The men’s team
placed fifth out of 16 teams,
and the women’s team placed
14th out of 18 teams.
On Saturday, Sept. 15, the
Aztec Invitational was can
celled due to the terrorist
attacks on Sept. 11.
“Since we didn’t run that
weekend,
the
following
Saturday, Sept. 22, we com
peted at UC Riverside,” said
Steve Scott, head coach for the
cross-country team.
The men’s team placed
second out of 24 teams that
Saturday, and although the
women had a slow start, they
finished 14th out of 25 teams.
“We have a strong team
this year, as long as all the ath
letes are healthy,” said Scott.

Cougars raced at the Stanford
Invitational. The women’s team
finished 12th out of 19 com
peting teams, arid the men’s
team finished 12th out of the
28 teamSj
“The results of this invi
tational are part of the mid-sea
son low, as some of the athletes
are injured, tired and stressed,”
said Scott. He also added that
most of the athletes are full
time students who work.
“We’re trying, working
hard and doing good, but I
know we can and will do
better,” said freshman Manal
Yamout.

T H l ACCESS CRISIS; A combination of skyrocketing enrollment
and inadequate funding threaten die very mission of the CSU as the
'People's University.* Funding reductions have sharply reduced
course offerings, leaving many students, both full and part time,
unable to access the courses necessary for graduation. Rather than
find real solutions to the access crisis, typical administration responses,
such as raising entrance standards and excluding students who need
remediation, only serve to limit access to deserving students.
THE FISCAL CRISIS: According to toe California Budget Project,
higher education funding as a proportion of toe State’s General Fund
has fallen dramatically. In toe last 20 years, government spending on
CSU has been cut nearly in half, from 6,5% to 3.5%.
CaBf&fnta faculty &s»#eiat!cr
THE ENROLLMENT CRISIS: Over the next few years toe CSU is
expecting an unprecedented wave of new students. Yet toe CSU ,
Administration and toe State Legislature have no real plan to hire
enough full time faculty, librarians, counselors or coaches to meet the
needs ot the growing student population. Between 1994*95 and 2000,
student enrobment has jumped by 35,000 fu( time student equivalents,
^ yet only one new tenuriMraek faculty position has.been added. In fact in
' 20GG there were 1400 fewer terwnHrack faculty in toe CSU than in 1990.
THE FACULTY CRISIS; Instead of tenured faculty, CSU has hired
lecturers, who are not compensated tor counseling, mentoring or
developing curriculum. Sometimes called “freeway flyers* because
they must teach at multiple colleges and universities in order to make
a p n g , these dedicated instructors have no benefits or job security.
At toe same time, tenured faculty salaries are so tow and toe workload
so high that the CSU can’t attract and retain new faculty.

"Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix,

the speeches encircled Brother 8
Jed Smock and fellow preacher
Cindy. Often times, however, students were riled by these preachers' confrontational expression of
their uncompromising beliefs.
"We're not your typical
Christians," said Jed Smock. Jed
Smock and Cindy Smock are
self-proclaimed Confrontational
Evangelists from the Nondenominational College Community Church of Newark, Ohio.
The Smocks would often times
resort to name calling, judgment
casting, and the attacking of
someone's character, in order to
get their audience listening and
responding to what they wanted
to lecture about.
A1 Ruiz, a Christian staff
member, said, "I think that he's
misrepresenting everything that
he speaks about. He's misrepresenting Christianity, misrepresenting God, and he's misrepresenting himself as a preacher."

In its first full year of implementation, CSUSM's High School
CAPI Program is proving to be a
success. The California Academic
Preparation Initiative is a partnership between CSU San Marcos
and area high schools, the pur-*
pose of which is to strengthen the
mathematics and English preparation of college-bound high
school students and reduce the
amount of remediation needed
for incoming university students.
On Friday, November 3,
CSUSM's campus was visited by
107 area high school teachers
who participated in a conference
on Academic Preparation For
College - Focus on English and
Mathematics. CSUSM's CAPI
directors, Drs. Linda Holt and

Amid the hustle and bustle of
everyday Dome activities sits a
solitary Christmas tree. The tree
seems normal for this time of
year, but on closer inspection,
a person can find the true purpose of this Christmas tree, or
as aptly named, the Angel Tree.
CSUSM's Circle K International
is holding its 9th Annual Angel
Tree Toy Drive. Through the Toy
Drive, the Circle K Club will
donate gifts to local, needy children this holiday season.
"On the tree we have paper

Circle K. Once a person buys a
gift for the child, the unwrapped
gift may be dropped off in the
box in front of the Angel Tree in
the Dome, or delivered to Human
Resources on Rancheros Drive.
"Last year we helped about

The tuition payment deadline for the Spring 2001 semester
has been changed from January
23, 2001, to December 19, 2000.
This has caused an uproar of
student complaints about the
deadline falling so close to
Christmas.
"I think it's stupid," says
CSUSM
student
Brianne
Donnellan, "I think they should
have given more advanced notice.
It's way too close to Christmas."
"Prompt payment is being
enforced because we have had
problems in the past with students
registering for classes and not
paying their fees," says Marietta
Kimball of Student Financial
Services. She explained that students that do not pay by the
December 19 deadline will be
dropped from the system and any
classes they have registered for
will be open for other students.
"I urge students to apply for
financial aid," says Rosemary
Henk of Financial Services.
"If financial aid is already
in place, it will defer for financial aid disbursement," explained
Kimball. If a student has financial aid and it covers the entire
tuition, he/she does not have to
worry about the deadline. If,
however, financial aid does not
fully cover the tuition, the student will be required to pay the
remaining fee by the December
19 deadline.
If a student still wishes to
apply for financial aid, he/she
can do so, but the student must
still pay the tuition fees for the
spring semester. If the application is approved and the student
receives financial aid, the tuition
payment may be refunded to the
student
No billing statements are sent
out to students. "That would
be too much work," says Henk.
Registration begins around the
end of October and continues
through December. Henk says
the school would have to send
out billings statements every day
to all the students. In addition,
the students that registered that
particular day and the ones that
register in December would run
out of time before the payments
arrived in the mail.
"It's become more of the student's responsibility," says Henk.
She says it is unfortunate that
the payment falls so close to
Christmas but this change is permanent and the tuition deadline
will fall this close to Christmas
every year from now on. Students
can also expect that the tuition
payment deadline for Fall 2001
will come at the end of Spring
semester 2001.

After Jed Smock and his family preached for several hours
on Monday, November 27, students observing them grew restless. Among the angry outcries
and the loud laughter, one student
decided to prove his point by
mooning the female preacher. A
cross-country athlete and freshman at CSUSM, Josh Wing,
pulled down his pants and laughingly joked, "Let there be light."
Coach Steve Scott was
unaware of the incident, but said,
"Once I find out who did that,
they will be severely reprimanded."

Jed
Smock
and
Family
»Article cant. from page 1
As founders and preachers of
their church, Jed and Cindy go
from college to college lecturing
on their version of the Christian
bible. This is their second visit
to CSUSM. Their five daughters
(Charlotte, Evangeline, Justine,
Martha, and Presley) accompanied them, as well as friend and
preacher, Sister Pat.
According to the preachers,
universities are a breeding ground
for sinful lifestyles. The Smocks
also say that universities are
responsible for the mis-education
of students on such "antichristian" ideas as evolution and natural selection and lead their students away from the Bible.
After Cindy Smock gave a
sermon on how fraternities and
sororities were the "breeding
ground for premarital fornication
and the deflowering of young
women," she spoke to a Pride
reporter. "We are preaching
against the party lifestyle and,
therefore, it is not a big surprise
that they [students] are not really
open to changing their points of
view," said Sister Cindy.
Preacher Jed and his wife,
Cindy, tried to convey the idea of
abstaining from what they called
"a party lifestyle" and the substitution ofthat lifestyle with the following of Jesus. They expressed
the concept of avoiding all drugs
(from marijuana and alcohol to
cigarettes), abstaining from premarital sex, and not listening to
music or watching TV and movies with violent or suggestive,
"unchristian" implications.
The Smocks also preached
that women should follow their
husbands, take care of the children, and be submissive to their
husbands. "In a marital relationship it is the Amman's duty to
follow the man, wherever he
shall lead her," said Jed Smock.
The women in the crowd contested the preachers' opinions.
CSUSM student Katie Steimle
asked, "They're humorous. Do
they think that anyone could take
them seriously? They take the
Bible way out of context!"
"Their [students'] reaction is
fairly typical. Students havea't
changed since I began my lectures, they remain narrow minded
and un-open to the truth, any idea
will be tolerated except Christianity," said Jed Smock.
"They [Smocks] are too judgmental. He [Jed Smock] says
there is only , one way and that is
his way. If his way is the right
way, I'm not getting involved
in that," said one student. "He's
real brave to come and speak
to all these students about what
he thinks and feels," commented
student Allen Kruse.
Sister Pat continues to preach as a student pulls down his pants. (Picture censored at editors* discretion).

Cross Country
Athlete Mooning
»Article cont. from page 1
When asked if an individual
athlete's outside behavior reflects
upon the team, Steve Scott noted
that individuals are judged on an
individual basis only, meaning
that the student's behavior had no
reflection upon the cross-country
team as a whole.
Chief Schultheis of the
University Police commented on
the incident, "It is a far stretch to
call it indecent exposure." "It is in
the realm of behavior that is disorderly conduct," he added, "when
we [University Police] identify
the student, we will direct him or
her to the student affairs' judicial
process."
Dean of Student Affairs
Jonathan Poullard said that the
Assistant Dean of Student Affairs
handles the formal, judicial
process on campus. Poullard
explained that a formal letter is
sent to the student informing him
or her of what he or she is believed
to have violated. The student then
meets with the Assistant Dean in
a formal conference. After that,
two things can occur: the conference will lead into a hearing that
will decide how to handle the
student's violation, or the student
and Assistant Dean will negotiate a contract to deal with the
repercussiqhs of the situation.
Wing was one of many students who listened to the sermon
in the free speech area located
between Academic Hall and the
Science Building. Fellow athletes,
Brian Eaton and Tony Lederman,
described the Smock situation
as "funny." Lederman said the
preacher was "making a fool of
h erself' and that "she shouldn't
abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Everyone has the right to freely
express himself or herself and
especially on college campuses
where a free speech area is set
aside for the use of a "marketplace of i deas"
Students like Bartges believe
the preacher's use of the free
speech area is "totally out of
line." Chief Schultheis says there
"is a thin line between provoking and threatening [language].
It is unfortunate the student was
upset." Yet, it is the constitutional
right of the preacher and everyone to use the free speech area.
"There are some parameters
[within the right to speak freely]," said Schultheis, "You can't
provoke violence. You can yell
fire in the middle of the parking
lot, but if you yell, ' fire' in a full,
dark theater, you are no longer
within your constitutional right."
This is the second visit to
CSUSM by Jed Smock and his
fellow preachers. Smock believes
he will return in the spring but he
will not be bringing his family.

impose her views on us." When
pointed out that the preachers
were in the free speech area
and that anyone is welcome to
"impose" their views there, the
three freshmen grew excited and
one asked, "So anyone can say
what they want here?"
Student Elaina Bartges was
one of many observers in the free
speech area on Monday. Bartges
said she had been called numerous names from the preacher,
including "slut," which upset her.
Regarding the preachers' use
of the free speech area, Chief
Schultheis said, "They are trying
to get attention using terms that
will get a response, but it is a
tough issue because you are dealing with constitutional rights."

Smock photos by Enrique Refugio
Preacher Cindy Smock helps her husband, Jed Smock,
preach at colleges across the nation.
Students gathered on Palm
Court to see ancient Japanese
traditions for Japanese Culture
Day on Thursday, November 30.
The traditions included a live tea
ceremony and ikebana (a flower
arrangement ceremony),
The tea, known as "usucha,"
was prepared by the Teishu,
Taemi, and served to six student
participants. Taemi's serious face
broke into a smile as the tea ceremony, usually performed indoors,
was complicated by rising winds
that blew the tea ladle around the
table. "The tea was really tangy,"
commented Shane, a student participating in the tea ceremony
One student said, "The ceremony
was so proper and detailed with
movement."
After the ceremony, students
were able to eat many different
Japanese foods including rice
balls, kasutera (similar to sponge
cake), kompeito (small sugar can-
dies), and okaki (round rice crackers).
The Ohara School Ikebana
Demonstration showed the different styles of floral arrangements;
students were then able to create
their own versions of ikebana.
Ms. Ise Hufffman, Second Term
Master for the school, demonstrated different ways to arrange flowers inside shallow water bowls,
known as "suiban." She placed
a metallic bed of pins, called
"kenzan," inside the suiban to
secure the flowers and used lilies, protea, loquat, carnations, and
baby's breath in her arrangement.
In addition to the tea ceremony and ikebana demonstrations, many other cultural elements were presented: hung from
bamboo poles were banners of
Japanese toys, food, architecture,
anime, and religion. "I am overwhelmed, there is a lot to look
at here," remarked one student
at the event. The Japanese Club
and Anime Club cosponsored

'Tis the Season to Be Stressing
By: Jared E. Young
Pride Staff Writer
Stress is an unavoidable part
of life that comes from work,
*
relationships, school, driving, and
everything else that people do on
a day-to-day basis. Stress is good
to some degree. It drives us to
succeed and increases productive
ity, however, there is a fine line
where stress ceases to be productive and becomes dangerous.
The negative affects of stress
are manifested differently in
everyone. Whether it is sickness,
anger, depression, or suicide,
signs of stress eventually begin
to show in everybody.
According to the American
Institute of Stress (AIS), 75-90
percent of all visits to primary
care physicians are stress-related.
43 percent of all adults suffer
adverse health affects due to
stress. These health problems
often include heart disease, cancer, respiratory problems, and cirrhosis*
Causes of Stress
Pressure is one cause of
stress. There is the pressure at
work, the pressure to be on time
while driving, the pressure to
make the people around us happy,
and the pressure to perform well
at school.
Final exams at Cal State San
Marcos end on December 18,
just one week before Christmas
and in the middle of the holiday
- season. Most students have loved
ones for whom they feel obligated
to buy gifts, thus having to work
full-time and go to school. With
the added pressures of finals,
December becomes a very dangerous t ime. when it comes to
stress management.
During the "stress season,"
it is important for families and
friends to remember that students
have enough pressure. Families
can help by being nurturing and
supportive.
Handling Stress
Stress can be curtailed if it is
detected early. Just like any other
infectious disease, stress can be
halted, slowed, or lessened by
searching for and recognizing the
early warning signs.
The University of Oklahoma
Police Department states that
early warning signs of stress
include, but are not limited to,
fatigue, nervous tics, excessive
sweating, nightmares, muscular
pain, sexual difficulties, change
in appetite, and insomnia. While
these are not the only indicators
of stress, they are good signs
that a student or adult has an
excessive amount of stress.
If stress is not caught early, it
can lead to greater consequences,
such as aggressive behavior and
suicide. If the warning signs are
Academic Bulletin
recognized, there a re a number
of ways to reduce the amount
of stress in life. Exercise is a
good stress reliever and many
schools and workplaces offer
weight rooms, where stress can
be worked off. Meditation can
be a great help, and just talking
with someone about problems
can often make life and its problems much easier. For more
information on ways to release
stress, contact the human resources department where you work,
or visit CSUSM's Counseling and
Psychological Services web site
at www.csusm.edu/caps.
The holiday season can add
stress to anyone, let alone a student. Balancing time and prioritizing tasks can reduce the
amount of stress by more than
half: as each project is completed,
another weight is lifted off the
shoulders. No school or job is
worth the amount of stress that
it can cause, or the affects that
stress can eventually lead to. This
is why most jobs and schools offer
ways for their students and/or
employees ways to release stress
and enjoy life.
For more information on
stress and how to cope with
stress, check the University of
Oklahoma's
website
at
www.ou.edu/oupd/stress.htm. or

Institute
of
Stress

Jewel's Unforgettable
Performance at the California
Center for the Arts
Chris Weedon for The Pride
The talented Jewel took the
stage on Wednesday, November
15, at the California Center
for the Performing Arts. The
sold-out theater of 1,250 people
heard an unforgettable performance by Jewel and her opening act, Steve Poltz. Poltz, a
local artist with the Rugburns,
started off the night with a new
song, "What Would Gandhi
Do?" that he wrote on the plane
earlier in the day. In between
songs, Poltz told humorous
and insightful stories about the
songs and the crowd loved
every minute of it. For his
last song of his 50-minute set,
Poltz invited San Diego Padres'
Tim Flannery to sing "Silver
Jewel performed in San Diego on November 15. Photo by West Kennedy
Lining" on stage with him: this
was a great way to end a great
set.
After the opening act, Jewel
walked on stage to the cheers
of the crowd. Her first song of
the night was a new one titled,
"Does Anyone Believe in Love?"
Jewel, like Poltz, told stories in
between her songs. Her topics
ranged from her teeth to Brittney
Spears, and she always made the
crowd laugh. The highlight of the
night occurred when she invited
Poltz back onstage to sing a few
songs with her. Their duet of
"You Were Meant for Me" was
amazing; the contrast 6f two different, yet, melodic voices was
a treat to hear. Jewel's set was
a mix of old and new songs
like "Does Anyone Believe in
Love," "Foolish Games," "Who
Will Save Your Soul?," to old Java
Joe's days songs like "Racecar
Driver." Her encore song was
"Angels Standing By." Jewel's
voice is truly amazing, and she
hit the high notes with perfect
clarity. Her voice sent me on a
tranquil journey. Jewel's 90-minute set was a very amazing experience that I will always remem-,
ber.
As the lights went on again,
and everyone was leaving, I
Couldn't help but feel that I had

I would suggest you do so. It will

Book Review:
The Self Aware
Universe
In The Self Aware Universe,
author Amit Goswani, Ph.D.,
attempts t o make a case for*an
idealist worldview based on.modern discoveries in physics.
Goswani is a professor of
physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of
Oregon. He has previously written two physics texts and numerous scientific papers. Goswani's
background in hard science and
academia is one of the factors that
allow him to put forth a book on
metaphysics that is far more convincing and perceptive than typical new-age faire.
Modern physics tells us that
sub-atomic particles such as electrons and photons are, in fact,
not particles, but waveforms of
potential positions and velocities. According to Goswani, it
is the mind of the observer that
produces matter and not the other
way around. Goswani goes on
to posit a single universal mind
that finds a focal point in each
individual.
Lest a potential reader be
scared away by mention of technical jargon from physics and
philosophy, it should be pointed
out that Goswani does a brilliant
job of distilling the Arcanum of
these fields down into everyday
language. Goswani also makes
good use of descriptive analogies
to clarify his ideas for readers.
Gowani's work is more than
a conglomeration of mysticism
and pseudo-science. He makes
a considered and cohesive argument for an idealistic philosophy
based on modern science, and
Goswani's book makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in philosophy and science.

Dreams, Tradition,
Diversity, Environment,
and Technology
By: Steve Kerrin
Pride Staff Writer
mets with artist Alex Sanchez,
a local 20-year-old artist with
experience in creating murals.
Goldberg said of Sanchez, "I
hired Alex particularly because
of his reputation for working with
non-artists and his ability to bring
them to a place where they feel
they can create and implement
art."
Students were asked to create
three rough sketches of ideas for
the mural. Five common themes
emerged from these sketches:
Although often passed by
without a second glance, the mural
in the hallway by the library does
occupy a significant place in the
history of CSUSM as the first
piece of public art on permanent
display.
The mural, a five-paneled display whose themes are "Dreams,"
"Tradition," "Diversity," "Environment" and "Technology," was
created in 1994. It was the brainchild of then-professor in the §
Department of Education, Dr.
Merryl Goldberg, while she was
teaching a course called "Learning and Instruction." Goldberg,
who is now with the Visual and
Performing Arts Department, said
i n her b ook, Arts and Learning,
"The mural project was designed
to engage the students in creating
an educational philosophy, then
representing and communicating
that philosophy."
the importance of kids'
dreams and wishes
linking the past to the present and to the future
embracing
multicultural
diversity
the environment and its
importance to learning and
culture
technology's role in teaching
and learning
As it turned out, these five
themes became the themes that
were used in the final product.
History
Early in its development, seriSeptember 1994:
The
ous debates began to emerge
Learning and Instruction class
regarding the representation of
each theme. Regarding these
debates, Goldberg said, "Because
the mural .was to become a public
art piece, debate as to what was
appropriate to portray versus what
was not became a serious consideration." One particular debate
began when an African-American
student wanted to include a Black
Power symbol in the mural.
Debates similar to this continued, with the primary concern
being equal representation for the
values of all cultures and some
modicum of political correctness.
In her book, Goldberg cites one
student who said, "The project
lost luster for me when our idea
was questioned due to concern
over 'political correctness'. I just
wish we had no limitations on
what we could do, but that's not
possible with public art." Despite
these debates, students were able
to collaborate and reach mutual
agreements that, while not exactly
what each wanted, were, for the
most part, sufficient.
October-November:
The
mural project faced its first administrative challenge during this
time. Then-university president

L a r r y K arush:
"Art of the Improviser"
By Christopher F. Orman
Pride Staff Writer
Approximately fifty people
attended Larry Karush's solo
piano performance held in Academic Hall 102 on November
29. Performing an hour and a
half long set, Karush continually
revealed his ability to meld other
ethnic and folk musical genres
into the style of jazz.
During the performance, the
audience became entranced, as
Karush typically opened each
song with, a distinctive African
sound. As the song progressed,
Karush played rolling arpeggios
and dissonant harmonics, leading
the listener to the far out reaches
of jazz. Typically from the freeform dissonance, Karush would
return with a snippet of Johann
Bach or Fredric Chopin.
"To be honest, I am trying
to wrestle between my multiple
interests in music," Karush told
the audience in a question session
following the performance. "The
dissonance existing between the
African and Classical elements
becomes a musical expression of
my attempt to synthesize two
musical forms," Karush iterated.
Throughout the evening,
Pianist Larry Karush

Karush played compositions
embodying his musical and philosophical pursuits. In particular,
"Banjo Variations" began sounding rather similar to Earl Scrugg's
bluegrass banjo playing. As
Karush gained momentum, the
song suddenly evolved into jazz
phrasings, only to end with a brief
quote from Chopin's "Sonata #3."
Later in the evening, the energetic "The Salsa Way" continued
Karush's attempts to synthesize
two different styles of music.
Beginning with a quote from John
Coltrane's "A Love Supreme,"
Karush violentlyflewinto a multilayered, free-jazz improvisational
section yielding a large amount
of disharmony. Out of the improvisation arose a simple salsa sec-,
fion, which gave rise to another
free-jazz section. Karush on "The
Salsa Way" continued to allow
Coltrane's "A Love Supreme"
and the salsa elements for brief
moments, before launching into
heavier, harmonics-based vamping,
On the subject of how classical music has influenced him,
Karush said, "Despite how much I
was forced into learning classical
music at an early age, the music
and the composers will remain a
focus of my research and always a
part of my music." Over the next
few years, Karush plans on studying the compositions of Alexander Scriabin.
Karush currently has one solo
CD released titled The Art of the
Improviser; which features some
of the compositions he performed
at CSUSM, As for future recordings of his work, Karush plans on
releasing several CDs independ e n t "when time and money
permits."
project because, as the class was
told, the university did not have a
policy on permanent art. "I never
in a million years thought there
would be politics involved, but
when you're dealing with public
art, you're dealing with politics,"
said Goldberg.
Stacy's hesitancy may have
been sparked by events at San
Francisco State University the
previous year where a student
mural became a source of controversy when it was discovered
to contain symbols related to the
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
December: With the assistance of the Dean of the College
of Education, the project was
allowed to continue. The proposal
was that the College of Education
would lease the wall space for the
mural for three years, after which
time a policy on permanent art
^would be in place. If the mural
did not meet the requirements of
this policy, it would be painted
over.
With the approval of the
leasing plan, the project began.
Throughout mid-December, the
students, with Sanchez's supervi-
sion and advice, begin to paint the
mural, first applying a primer coat,
then the actual design. The mural
began to attract attention from
local media, including CNN.
A second crisis came in late
December when the students'
ideas for the "Diversity" panel
were found not to translate well
into visual representation. At Sanchez's suggestion, the panel was
divided into smaller squares, one
for each student in the class. Each
student then painted a child's selfportrait on his/her square.
February: After the winter
break, the students held a dedication ceremony on February 2.
More than one hundred guests
and media people attended.
In retrospect, Goldberg said,
"Everyone really felt good about
[the mural] but not everyone
thought it was exactly what they
wanted to see." When asked if
she would do a project like this
again, she said, "Now, five or six
years later l ean imagine doing it
again, but right after it was done,
I don't think so."

A Look at the CSUSM
Vocal Ensemble
By: Steve Kerrin
Pride Staff Writer
Still in its first year, the
CSUSM Vocal Ensemble is one
example of a startup program on
campus that has high hopes for
the future.
All members agree that
while the songs they are performing, mostly folk tunes and children's songs, are different from
what they expected; they have,
nevertheless, been funvto perform.
Christian Wehba commented, "I
didn't realize that we would be
singing mostly children's music
but we're performing for kids so
what do you expect?" His sentiments were echoed by Denise
Mitchell-Carignan who said, "I
expected more classical and some
show tunes and that kind of
thing."
Ensemble Director Merryl
Goldberg said of her choice of
songs, "I realized that we had a
wide range of experience in terms
of singing, so I thought I 'd choose
pieces that were fairly easy but
which could be made more difficult by adding rounds and harmonies." Goldberg estimated the
range of experience to be evenly
split, with about half the students
having prior chorale experience
and the other half with little or no
experience.
Goldberg also said, "When I
realized there were a bunch of
future teachers in the group, I
decided to make kids songs a
focus." Her selections were appreciated by at least one student,
Katelynn Miller, who said, "I'll
definitely use some of them in my
classroom when I teach."
Miller, Wehba, and MitchellCarignan mentioned that they had
been trying for several semesters
to get the ensemble started. There
was interest from the department,
but not until Goldberg transferred
from the College of Education
was anyone able to take the job.
Upon her transfer, Goldberg said,
"Bill (Bradbury, another Visual
and Performing Arts instructor)
and I were both aware that students wanted a chorus so we both
decided to make it happen. Since
he was on sabbatical arid I was
interested in making it happen, I
became the leader." .
The Vocal Ensemble's first
and only performance this
semester will be on Thursday,
December 14 at Felicita School in
Escondido.
The class will be held next
semester on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm. Enrollment is open
to both students and. staff. Since
the class this semester was a success despite its moderate experience level, Goldberg says that
anyone thinking of taking the
class should not worry if they
have never done it before, "It
will sound great, don't worry,
and don't be shy."

Another Club Leader Speaks Out About ICC
As a club founder, past secretary, and current president, I am
saddened to learn of Ms. Hash's
difficulties regarding IGC, ASI,
and the Literary Society. I have
been actively involved in the club
process as well as ICC for the past
two years. It is true, last year, ICC
was a difficult entity to deal with,
however I feel that the improvements made this year have been of
great benefit to clubs on campus.
This includes the addition of Mr.
Brad Schmidt's position as the
Club Services Technician as well
as the formation of the CSFC.
Regarding her comments about
the various entities in which clubs
must deal, I feel she may be misinformed as to the purposes behind
these various entities and processes facing clubs at CSUSM.
The first issue is concerning
the re-chartering of clubs and
club officer training. All clubs
are required to re-charter at the
beginning of every school year,
regardless of their standing the
previous year. Training of club
leaders is also required of clubs
each year. Presidents and treasurers are required to attend and club
advisors are encouraged to attend
this training. The purpose of this
training is to inform club leaders
of the various paperwork required
in doing club banking, making
facility requests, as well as to
be informed of the requirements
for posting of club events and
the processes involved for having
particular events both on and off
campus as well as club funding.
Secondly, regarding the creation of a Club Services Technician, I feel this has been a wonderful asset to the process of
functioning as a club on campus.

ASI Responds
Fellow Students,
This is your Student
Government responding to the
letter printed in the opinion section of our school newspaper on
November 28, 2000.
First, while we would like
to applaud Kathleen Hash for
her courage and school spirit in
taking the time to express her displeasure at a system that, in her
words, "is an inefficient bureaucracy", we need to note that most
of her information was inaccurate. Associated Students, Incorporated (ASI), is not here to monitor the press or to stifle public
opinion, rather, we feel that the
students should hear both sides of
an issue to allow them to make
informed choices. ASI provides
the official voice of the students
and in doing so we have and
will continue to encourage people
to speak up on issues that will
make their experience here at
CSUSM more meaningful. We
invite anyone to come to our
office in Commons 203 or talk
to your ASI college representatives regarding any issues you
would like to see action taken on.
We are writing this letter today
to clarify information that was

reported inaccurately and to let
you, the students, know that ASI
is here to support you.
Issue 1.The name Inter Club
Council was changed to Inter
Club Committee to clarify their
role and responsibility. ICC has
always been a sub committee of
Associated Students, Inc., and
was designed to provide a place
where clubs can come together
and work on joint projects, discuss
issues on campus, and inform
other clubs of events they are
planning.
Issue 2. While Gezai
Berhane, the Assistant Director
of Student and Residential Life,
is an important part of the ICC,
he did not supervise nor direct
ASI in the restructuring of ICC
and the process that is used to
fund events on campus. ASI,
along with the ICC Chair Newsha
Digius, and the Club Service
Technician,
Brad
Schmidt,
worked with information provided from last year's ICC to develop a comprehensive plan to allow
clubs to access resources easier
and more efficiently.
Issue 3. The ASI Vice
President of Finance has worked
through the summer and into the
fall semester to assure that equal
representation of the ICC was
available on the committee that
HAVE AN OPINION?
The addition of this position has
streamlined the paper trail for
clubs in that there is now a
"one-stop shop" for clubs to visit
with their concerns and to turn
in paperwork. Mr. Schmidt is
knowledgeable regarding what is
required of clubs and has been
very helpful in all aspects of the
operation of my club. This ranges
from helping us set up events
such as our CPR class as well as
the answering of any question my
club has had in regard to policies
and procedures.
As for the formation of the
CSFC, I feel this too is a benefit
to clubs. By adding the CSFC,
ICC can now focus on other
club issues, not bicker for two
or more hours about what club
gets money, what club doesn't,

approves funding for club events.
This process is new and it did
take time, however, the committee has been in place for over
a month and ICC as a whole is
satisfied with the results.
We realize that change is difficult and with change comes a
"trial period" to discover if the
changes that were made had the
impact that was intended or if
an adjustment needs to happen.
This is our "trial period". We
are in the process of making
adjustments to accommodate the
students' needs as they present
themselves. We will continue
to support students and in keeping with our campaign slogan
"Together we can make a difference'V we will continue to work
toward building a better campus
life and enhancing the university
experience for all students. We
in ASI are students just like yourselves, and we strive to make your
college experience more enjoyable. Any help that you can
provide that may help us better
serve you, and the rest of the
student body will be very much
appreciated.
Happy Holidays from your
Associated Students Board of
Directors
SUBMIT A LETTER
I feel the guidelines regarding
funding are very clear and understandable. In addition, this funding is not just for multi-club
events, but available to any club
who follows the standards set
forth to receive such funds. In
the past, the clubs who received
funds were able to negotiate the
system to their benefit while others were not as successful. In
addition, it is not a requirement
that clubs attend the CSFC meetings, but they are welcome to
attend.
Yes, ICC meeting attendance
is a requirement for clubs. But
what better way to know what
other clubs are doing, how we can
help to make each other's clubs
be more successful, and to learn
more about what our responsibilities are as a club on campus?
I have enjoyed ICC much more
this term than last year and the
addition of workshops, which are
open to the campus community
at large, have been beneficial to
me as a club leader.
Being a leader of a club on
campus is a great privilege and
responsibility. It is my opinion,
as leaders it is our responsibility
to seek out the information we
need to be successful, not to wait
and have information spoon-fed
to us. If we have questions, we
must ask them, not wait to be
told the answers. I feel that the
changes made this semester have
put ICC back on track for its
intended purpose: to help clubs,
succeed on campus and increase
campus life.

I CC Explained
Students must Play Part to Promote Life
I am writing in response to
the letter written by Kathleen
Hash under the title of "Club
Leader Saddened by the Lack of
Improvement in the ICC" that the
Pride featured in its November
28, 2000 issue. To those of you
who do not know what the InterClub Committee (ICC) is, let
me please explain. The InterClub Committee was created in
order to unify the diverse clubs at
Cal State University San Marcos.
The main purpose of the ICC is to
serve as a forum in which clubs
come together for the purpose of
information sharing, leadership
development, campus community development, and to establish
a network by which clubs can
communicate their concerns and
ideas regarding university or club
activities.
ICC aims to promote student
life on campus; however, that
is only possible if individual students and clubs are equally committed to that purpose. Much of
what was written in the letter
by Kathleen Hash was false due
to a lack of information. In her
list of attempts to work with
and understand ICC and ASI,
TO THE EDITORS
TO
Kathleen left out the fact that
she has not come to the last
four ICC meetings. Therefore,
it would be difficult for her to
see the progress that ICC has
made this semester due to her
lack of attendance at meetings.
Also, as a Pride Staff Writer,
Kathleen would have served the
students better had she contacted the appropriate offices (The
Associated Students Inc., and the
Student and Residential Life) or
at the least, spoken to me to learn
more about the issues she had
raised in her opinion. As Hie current ICC Chair, I know that many
changes have been made but they
are not merely "cosmetic". Over
the past three years I have been
involved with ICC, I have seen
the changes it has gone through
and I know it will continue to
change and develop as our university grows. However, those
changes will always be made
with the intention of helping
students not impeding them.
Thank you,
Newsha Digius
ICC Chair
