Students protest cuts
BY TOM PFINGSTEN
Pride Staff Writer
Hundreds of students f rom San
Diego County marched through
downtown last Monday as p art of
a statewide walk-out in protest of
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts.
Official
police
estimates
counted 750 students in the
crowd, which marched f rom
San Diego City College through
the Gaslamp district to the state
building on the 1300 block of
Front Street.
B efore t he march, protestors on
the lawn in f ront of City College
chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated
e ffects of the governor's cuts over
a public address system.
A similar gathering took place
a fter the march in f ront of the
state building on Front Street,
w here six student government
representatives, including one
f rom CSUSM, went inside to
speak with state officials.
In addition to Cal State San
Marcos and San Diego State,
students f rom UC San Diego
and several j unior colleges also
attended the rally, chanting
call-and-response slogans such
as, " What do we want? Stop
the cuts! W hen do we want it?

Yesterday, less than a class f ull
of students represented CSUSM
at the Statewide Student WalkOut Against the Budget Cuts
located in downtown, San Diego.
Other campuses participating in
the walkout were UCSD, SDSU,
Miramar, Mesa, Southwestern,
and San Diego City College.
Out of roughly 7,000 students
at CSUSM, about 150 applicants signed-up t o o ffer their
support, but only 20 students
actually showed up "get on the
bus", according to Associated
Students, Inc. Vice President of
External A ffairs, Eric Roper.
" I saw an ad in The Pride, but
there is not much you can do in
the end of the semester," said
Robin Willcott, h uman development senior. " If I didn't have to
go to class, I would have definitely supported."
The protest lasted f rom 9 a.m.

Several ethnic dances were included in the activities at last

Last Thursday, April 22, the
second annual International Fair
was held in University Plaza.
The f air was sponsored by the
O ffice of Global A ffairs, University Global A ffairs Committee,
Associated Students Inc, (ASI)
and several other student organizations.
With an ample amount of f ree
food, d rinks and p erformances
f rom around the world, students
were able to explore the diversity
and variety of other cultures in a
f un and inviting atmosphere.
Some of the countries represented at this y ear's f air were
Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Israel,

"Although more people should
have participated in the protest,
without those people who went,
nothing would change," Nelson
said.
Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed
the importance of the budget cuts
especially when concerning the
Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).
"If EOP gets cut, there will be
less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These
students are a key component of
our student body, unfortunately
only a handful of students went
on the bus."
"I encourage and support
student's rights, exercising their
power to protect the cost of
education and promote positive
and safe activism within their
campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said
"I couldn't go to the protest
because I had to work and go to
class," ASI College of Business

said.
ASI President and CEO elect,
Manal Yamout, explained her
opinion as to why more students
did not attend.
"The timing in regards to
the academic calendar is off.
Students are having to choose
between studying for finals and
protesting," Yamout said.

Drawing even more attention
to the protest was the police
escort, made up of about a dozen
motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front
of the procession.
Sergeant
Art Doherty of the San Diego
Police Department said that he
was pleased with the protestors'
peaceful nature.
"So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm
glad we can do this stuff. This
is America, this isn't Iraq."
According to event organizers,
anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000
faculty could be laid off from the
CSU alone as a result of reduced
higher education funding. It was
also estimated that cuts could
force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students
next year.
Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher
education include tuition and fee
increases, larger class sizes and
the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP.
CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman
summed up the situation after the
march ended in front of the state
building: "The effect of these
budget cuts is to not only raise
student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that
effects the quality of education."
He continued, "What happens
with increased class sizes is that

�Love will tear us apart
In the game of love, not every relationship beats the odds; breaking up is hard to d
BY KEVIN BRABEC
Pride Staff Writer
Relationships are as haiu to
figure out as a statistics mid term
that you haven't studied for. Relationships bring us pleasure, as
well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional
roller coaster ride that ensues is
almost too much to take.
There are many different paths
a relationship can follow. You
meet someone, you start dating,
you break up and it's done. Or,
you meet, start dating, fall in
love, get married, have a couple
of kids and magically drive off
into the sunset in the soccer
mom mobile. In talking to some
students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic
stories out there.
John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two
years, at least that was the way
that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were
involved in a one-upping contest
that involved each of them cheating on each other with former
loves and the random encounters
with people that they met along
the bumpy path of their relationship.
"When she walked in the door
at the senior prom, I thought she
was going to faint," John said.
"I told her that I was going to
just chill with friends, after she
informed me that she was going
to go with her ex-boyfriend. The
look on her face was priceless to
see me there with a date having
a great time, or pretending to
anyway," he said.
The second year of the relationship was coming to an end
when John was informed that he
had been accepted to a university not close to the town where
they lived. "It was raining and
I can remember getting out of
the truck and just sitting there
together smoking when I told
her," he said.
The best thing that he ever did
was to "get outta Dodge," leaving
her and the relationship behind.
The promise of a new beginning
was enough for John to realize
that what he had to do was start
his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain
that he was dragging around.
John accomplished just that and
met someone else a couple of
years later. They plan to get married in 2005.
Lisa's relationship lasted six
and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa
and boyfriend were high school
sweethearts and met when she
was only 15-years-old.
A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the
direction the relationship was
heading; what she wanted from
the relationship and the reality
of the relationship were different
things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not
willing to work through, so Lisa
bettered herself and broke off the
relationship. She has since met
someone new and is happier with
that relationship.
Chris's relationship lasted
about a year before it finally
ended. Chris was involved with
someone younger and it was clear
that they never were in the same
place on important issues involving the relationship.
"That whole princess attitude
eventually was a turn off. I gave,
and she took and never gave any-
thing back," Chris said.
The long distance relationship
that occurred after she graduated
high school and went to college
added to the impending doom
that the relationship was poised
to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from
the outside world, it began to put
a strain on the friendships that
Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned
about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit,"
Chris said.
After putting up with the
selfishness for some time,
Chris finally broke it off. To
get through the break up, Chris
buried himself in his schoolwork
and his job to fill the void that the
absence of the relationship had
left. Chris is happy now and is
involved in another relationship
with someone closer to his age.
They share a lot of the same ideas
about life and seem to be headed
in the same direction.
Jennifer and her fiance were
living together with one of his
friends when she began to think
about her future and the man she
was about to marry. Jennifer's
fiancé had no job, no car and no
inspiration to do anything but sit
around the house. Jennifer relates
that he would often think about
doing something while listening
to music blaring so loud that the
foundation of the house, as well
as the relationship, were starting
to crumble. "Getting out of the
relationship was always on my
mind," she said.
One night after a long day at
school and work, Jennifer was
trying to sleep and he wouldn't
leave her alone. A fter he accused
her of cheating on him, Jennifer
had decided she had had enough.
She proceeded to take off the ring
and said, "Here's your goddamn
ring back, why don't you go buy
yourself a car with it." Jennifer
moved in with a friend and is
beginning to live her life the way
she wants.
There were some things that
students would agree were good
ideas in dealing with break ups.
One student put it the best when
she said, "Talk to friends, work
out, don't drink too much and
don't just hook up with anyone to

Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column,
I am getting a lot of feedback
around campus regarding topics
I should cover. One topic that
is constantly being brought to
my attention is the f rustration
regarding the collegiate athletics
here at CSUSM.
One
common
f rustration
among students is that CSUSM
does not have many collegiate
sports, and of t h
e collegiate
sports that are o ffered are not
among the major sports. Not to
take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf
teams, since they are doing a
fine j ob, but those sports are not
exactly the 'Britney Spears' of
the sports world.
Most of u s can remember those
times during high school when
we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust
to hang out with f riends while
catching a game. Some CSUSM
students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us.
" I t hink the f act that we don't
have many sports at our school
really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman
Chantal Pasag.
Freshman Jade Zwinger said,
" I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een
going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to
watch all of their football games.
I have also been to a few SDSU
games. Isn't that s ad?"
T he point that Zwinger brings
up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see
a college football game then we
have to make our way to another
college campus.
The lack of support f or the
few sports that we do have is of
concern as well. Cougar athletes
have expressed their f rustration
with the f act that there is hardly
any support for their teams.
Cross country and track athlete
A imee Bradley asked, "How do
you t hink it feels seeing hardly
anyone f rom CSUSM at our
events?"
Several weeks ago I had that
same feeling when I covered
t he state surfing championships
at San O nofre beach. There was
not a single student f rom CSUSM
that attended the event other than
t he ones competing.
I know that the majority of
students do not choose to come
to CSUSM because of the sports
that are o ffered. I also know
CSUSM is not exactly a social
campus that can b e compared t o
the likes of UCSB or Colorado
University. H opefully one day
our school will o ffer more sports
for the students, because sports
can do so much f or a college
campus. S uccessful p rograms
can rack in t he big bucks, dinero,
cash, bling-bling or whatever
else you call money. Sports c an
also b ring notoriety and a wider
appeal to the general public,
which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university.
Everyone ranging f rom cougar
athletes to the casual f an h as
shared their opinion with m e
regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the
solutions to your f rustrations.
The only suggestion I have is
for you to support the teams that
we do have, even if you don't see
them as Britney Spears.

discussed in "Jock Talk With Josh," please email Josh Sandoval

�Those who protested deserve honor
Yesterday 20 students took
a bus down to the Governor's
office in San Diego and protested
the 2004-2005 proposed budget
cuts. A fterward they went
to Balboa Park and listened
to a reggae band to reward
themselves. They deserve an
award f or their organized e ffort
at f ree speech.
They protested cuts that
according to H.D. Palmer,
a spokesperson for the state
finance department, are due to
California's "worst fiscal crisis
ever."
California doesn't have
enough money so Gov.
Schwarzenegger and h is
associates did not raise taxes and
is forcing t he California higher
education systems to cut even
more f rom their already lean
p rogramming.
One of the results is raised
tuition and fees.
Universities and colleges
throughout the entire 50 states
are experiencing the same thing.
But students in California
pay less f or school than the vast
majority of other universities in
the country..
Students in California pay
21 cents to the dollar to r un the
CSU system, Palmer said.
Recently student f ees f or t he
CSU j umped 30 percent since
2003 and another 10 percent is
expected for 2004-2005.
The "Student Charges &
Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey,
conducted b ylhe National
Association of State Universities
and Land Grant Colleges
(NASULGC), reported that
national resident undergrad
tuition and f ees increased by
13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate
student fees increased by 11.5
percent.
It is the "largest single-year
increase in more than a decade"
the report stated.
A nd American students a ren't
alone in their tuition increases,
it's happening worldwide.
But one disappointing e ffect
f rom the cuts, f or California
anyway, i s the termination of
Educational O pportunity and
Outreach Programs.
These are necessary tools to
recruit and aid students f rom
underprivileged backgrounds.
These students whose parents
didn't go to college, who don't
make enough money, and
don't know how to send their
intelligent children to college,
need the opportunity to step
u p because above all, they are
people who deserve a chance.
We need these students in the
system f or themselves and f or
the state.
Another r eport by the
N ASULGC states that f or
every dollar invested in higher
education, there is a five dollar
r eturn to t he economy.
But t hat's not going to happen
if colleges throughout the state
shut down their p rograms and
limit education.
A representative f or
Chancellor Reed, Clara
Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a
very strenuous and delicate
negotiation process." The
Governor, the legislators and the
Chancellor all want t o go in their
own direction. She said we can
expect less classes due the cuts,
so that tells how the negotiations
are going.
B ut Palmer would not
comment on t he f uture of h igher
education in the state. He said
it depends on state revenues
and on what revisions have
b een m ade f or t he M ay budget
proposal.
So while t he C alifornia state
d epartment of finance work w ith
the Governor, CSU b oard of
t rustees, and other state agencies
on c rafting t he May budget,
several h undred Southern
C alifornia students decided t o
express t heir f rustration over t he
peel b ack of state f unding. T hey
all j umped on a b us yesterday t o
storm t he G overnor's o ffice in
San Diego. T hen they all went
to listen t o a reggae b and. Well
nice t o k now we still have t he
f reedom of t he first a mendment
in San Diego.
Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan
t he event, said it would t ake a
lot more t han a f ew h undred
students m arching to have a n
influence on t he state legislators.
A ll t he state employees c urrently
c rafting the budget a re in such
hectic environment to finish it,
that who knows if t hey'll give
more than a couple seconds
notice to t he news of student
protests.
Potes-Fellows said, if the
students make themselves heard
then legislators and the governor
will realize that someone is
s uffering when they apply
budget cutbacks.
A nd t hat's what it takes
— pro-active people t aking a
stand f or what they believe in.
Compliments to those w ho c ared
enough to practice their right
to f ree speech and o rganized

Letters to the editor
Discount Books
and Aztec shops
are still at odds
The Pride:
I am an employee of Discount
Campus Books, a college
textbook store located across
the street from Cal State
San Marcos. Since the store
opened in 2003, w e have been
attempting to get copies of book
requisitions from the university,
to no avail.
The university's position is
that Aztec Shops, because of its
legal structure, is not subject to
the California Public Records
Act, which opens the business
of its public institutions to
citizens. This, despite the f act
that it allows the o ff-campus
store at San Diego State,
where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its
requisitions. This, despite the
fact that state universities all over
California routinely hand over
requisitions to their off-campus
competitors. This, despite the
fact that Cal State's bookstore
and university allow other
members of the public - namely,
publisher's representatives - to
view the material it denies us.
I have a few problems with
this treatment. First, Aztec
Shops is an agent of the
university and should be subject
to the same legal strictures. If
they outsourced their personnel
management to a foundation,
would they be exempt from labor
laws?
Second, and more important,
should a public institution
be in the business of stifling
competition so that it can charge
higher prices f or its books? Who
benefits.. .the students who p ay
higher prices f or their books?
The community, who loses a taxpaying business?
Thirdly, why should w e b e
singled out f or p oor treatment?
Because w e're new? Because
Aztec Shops and C SUSM think
they can drag their f eet until w e
disappear?
I wanted the student
community and public to b e
aware that perhaps the Cal State
San Marcos administration and
its agents may not have the best
interests of students and public in
mind. From m y perspective, at
least, there appears to b e another
agenda at work.
Sincerely,
John Kilby
Manager, Discount Campus

I say t his not with t he sense

conviction of the f eedback
that I received last week
which confirmed as much.
Previously h arsh criticisms
have given way t o praise
a nd compliments on the
improvements that The Pride
h as undergone this semester.
I t hink it is a strong testament
t o the work t his s taff h as p ut
i n t his semester t o make this
paper both informative and
entertaining.
One section that did,
however, prompt questions
was the Letter To T he Editor
section on the opinion page
and the exchange between t he
participants who submitted
letters. Some readers expressed
concern that t he letters went
f rom voicing c oncerns over
t he ASI elections t o personal
battle between Erik Roper
and Austin Myers. Other
readers thought that t his t ype
of exchange was out of place
in The Pride.
In the name of ART we are
being tricked into accepting
works that teach new inventive
ways to abuse, torture and
mutilate the female body.
A picture frame contained
three photographs. One of a
middle aged woman naked and
using a hand held electric beater
to tantalize her breast.
The other two photographs
were of young girls also using
tools in inappropriate ways.
This is insanely irresponsible.
I do not feel that t he letters
w ritten f or this exchange
constituted, in t he traditional
sense o f t he phrase, letters to
t he editor. 1 t hink that, maybe,
t his t ype of interaction could
have b een b etter served i n

Perhaps a n o rganized essay

of each side f acing o ff on one

t he issue better. T his way,
in a standard essay f ormat,
t he p ersonal c ommentary
could b e eliminated a nd the

t o discern.
Portraying the debate i n the

would also eliminate the need
f or the editor to decide w ho
gets t he proverbial last

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM
B y K YLE OTTO
Pride Staff Writer
The vivacious spirit of A ztec
dance, the passionate p oetry of
t he exquisite Spanish tongue,
and t he unquenchable fervor of
t he young author's imagination
are but a f ew colors in the collage
of artistic student organizations
h ere at CSUSM.
Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan
P erforming lively dances f rom
t he various Mexican states of
Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student
organization, Ballet Folklórico
M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o
b ring t he culture of the Mexican
people to t he stage.
Vice President of Mixtlán,
Rosa Balcazar, remembered
visions of her youth, as a little
girl in Mexicali, saying, " The
people love to dance, they love
p arties, they love life, and it's
expressed in the music and in
t he dance. It reflects back on the
people, the culture, on the beliefs,
and the lifestyles."
Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its
name meaning "People of the
Skies," employs its talent for a
variety of events, surviving its
bustling September p erformance
schedule d uring the month of
Mexican Independence, as well
as f or the May celebrations of
Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the
club hosts d ance p erformances,
sharing the history of their a rt
with curious crowds.
The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of
vibrant red, yellow, orange and
white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night
h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday
evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday.
By attending workshops at
San Diego State University, and
three-day conferences hosted
by Ballet Folklórico companies,
such as Panzantes Unidos, in the
San Diego area, Mixtlán strives
to achieve its goal, as articulated
by Balcazar, to "learn about
Mexico, through its music and
folkloric dance performance, and
to create social awareness that
educates people about Mexico's
history, a rt and culture."
Garabatos
Likewise b ringing the art of
the Latino heritage to CSUSM,
the student magazine, Garabatos,
invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to
let their voices soar with poetry,
short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in
Spanish at each semester's end.
A s President Maria Acuna
explained, the organization's
name, Garabatos, means " The
Scribbles." She said, "We
thought it was a good title for
the magazine, because i t's what
we do. It is the first writing, t he
first thing that any person could
have a dream to b e a writer, to
be a poet. The first thing that
we t hink is good comes f rom our
heart, f rom our minds."
Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a
unique avenue for experimenting
authors within the writing classes
of the Spanish department to
contribute those o ffspring of
their hearts and minds.
"First they write in the classes,
but some students have the passion to write - and who knows,
maybe that student who never
thought about it, maybe one day
will b e a good writer. T hat's one
of the visions that I have - giving
everybody the opportunity to
t ry to do something with their
minds and their spirits - to put it
in words, and see what happens,"
said Acuna.
Like
Mixtlan,
Garabatos
extends its a rms t o embrace the
campus through events such as
the annual Dia de los Muertos
festival, f or which it has, f or the
past two years, hosted a creative
writing table f or "anybody who
wants to come over and w rite
Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you
can make u p about your boss or
f riend - some people w rite about
their professors - it's f unny," said
Acuna.
Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of
Garabatos were featured at the
international f air on Wednesday,
boldly reciting verses of their
writings before a mesmerized
audience of fair-goers.
Desiring involvement f rom t he
community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable
to The Pride, established on the
university, but not confined to
campus. "Everybody can come
and participate - even if you
don't speak Spanish, even if
you're not f rom Cal State San
Marcos. We don't want to box
ourselves in - we want to b e open
to new ideas," she said.
Expressing her wish for the
f uture of Garabatos, Acuna
spoke of workshops the club
attends with a similar Spanish
student magazine at San Diego
State University, saying, "To
have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some
professional writers to teach us."
Publishing Garabatos' newest
issue in May, Acuna, a graduate
student of the Spanish master's
program,
shared her commitment
to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next
semester I plan to give more
time to Garabatos, because this is
something that is my passion."
Artistic Rights:
A Writing Guild
A s the muses smile upon the
enraptured words of Garabatos,
so do they grace with courage
the very essence of the writers o f
Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild,
another creative literary f orum
here on campus.
Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors
Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers,
and J T Vernon of the literature
and writing studies department,
Artistic Rights is "A writing
guild dedicated to creativity,
originality, and works of writing,
visual arts, multimedia, music,
and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's
master's program.
The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26
members as well as f rom others
in the department, albeit with
l ofty publication standards.
" We're pretty critical. We like
s tuff that has edge to it, we like
s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first
d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that
maybe is k ind on the roadblock
to f urther publication at another
time," said Myers, also a master's
student in the department.
Publishing a 16-page hard
copy to ^various states outside
California in 2002, P ugh j oined
creative forces with Myers and
Vernon f rom a class they shared,
to initiate t heir guild.
"We wanted t o have workshops
on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o
have people that were serious
about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat.
We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when
people read it, they say, 'oh, wow,
these people on t his publication
actually took some t ime t o w rite,
they really a re serious about what
t hey're d oing,'" said Myers.
"We've k ind of w anted t o t ap
the creativity on c ampus here
a little more," said P ugh. T he
heralding call has b een heeded,
indeed. Nearly 50 submissions
have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely
10 to b e published electronically.
To p erfect their skills to these
demanding standards, guild
members regularly meet to
workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to
peers for constructive criticism.
Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these
aspiring writers are lent the ears
of fellow dreamers, dripping
f rom their tongues the words of
their most beloved works, in the
thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading.
"People actually came and read
their work at an open f orum, and
then we sat down and discussed
it," said Vernon.
The first issue of A rtistic
R ights' publication " will c ome
out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.
Be on the lookout for the Pride Literary Supplement
on newstands next Tuesday, May 4th.

�What's hot and what's just not
By KEVIN B RABEC
Pride Staff Writer
There is a lot of diversity w hen
it comes t o style expression
exhibited by students on campus.
Sometimes the c ampus looks like
a fashion show with t he students
acting as the r unway models.
Since first impressions are
important and the style you have
says a lot about you. We asked
some students what they t hink.
What's Not?
What's Hot?
What's Not?
"Colors are in and vintage s tuff
like 4 0's style dresses with stiletto heals are w hat's h ot."
"All those guys that wear too
many wristbands, they might as
well b e wearing a long sleeve
shirt."
" Don't copy what everyone else
is w earing" and "don't stick to
one label m ix and match labels,"
Michael
Washburn,
senior.
What's Hot?
"Converse, j eans, a
nd nothing too flashy" and something "ideal for the w eather"
What's Not?
"One piece b athing suits, no
matter what t he situation is," and
"Trucker h ats, I a m over it."
Laceita A rmstead, senior.
What's Hot?
"Pleated skirts and belts that look
like scarves."
What's Not?
"Shirts with sayings on t hem like
'No. 1 baseball player' or 'Welcome to Jamaica' and "capris or
pants; if you c an't tell the difference don't wear 'em."
Kristi Taylor, senior.
What's Hot?
"Take trends and put a twist on
i t" and "whatever your look is
own it."
Raymond
Orias,
sophomore.
What's Hot?
"Volcom, Lost, Ezekiel, and Billabong.. .Circa and Globe are selling w ell...Spy and Von Zipper
right now, but I t hink Electric is
really getting bigger."
What's Not?
"Oakley - don't even have to
explain this one."
Joshua Houston, business major.
Houston o ffers this advice, "Wear
what feels comfortable to you nothing is worse than t rying to
be, or make people t hink you are

Civil rights activist remembered at candlelight vigil
CSUSM artists reflect on statue's significance
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
Last Tuesday, CSUSM invited
artists T. J. Dixon and James Nelson
to speak to the university community about the historical perspectives about the campus statue
honoring civil rights activist César
Sleepless
in San
Diego
Chavez. Dixon and Nelson were
the two artists responsible for creating the statue and spoke about the
importance and legacy to which the
school connects itself.
"My mother was a farm worker
in Texas during the 60s, and [the
United Farm Workers] was all that
she would talk about," shared Dixon
as she spoke about personal meaning of the work. "It was really the
most tragic existence for farm workers who didn't have a voice and was
never in one. place long enough to
ask for change and equality."
The week ended by honoring the
leader with a candlelight vigil at the
steps of Chavez Plaza. Traditional,

community unites
to raise awareness
On Tues. April 8, men and women gathered in Forum Plaza to participate in a night
of empowerment and education against the
sexual violence of women. Take Back t he
Night is an observed protest around the nation
that involves walking in the dark to display
that women should and have t he right to feel
safe while walking in the dark.
Every two minutes, somewhere in A merica, someone i s sexually assaulted.
This is the second year the Women's
Center has held a Take Back the Night event
on campus. On display was the 'Walk In Her
Shoes' exhibit, f eaturing a variety of women's
shoes with f acts and personal stories about
sexual violence u nderneath them.
The National College Women Sexual Victimization Study estimated between 1 in 4
and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years.
B efore the event began, many students
walked through the exhibit and scaled t he
booths in attendance. Students and s taff candidly shared their experiences and observations regarding sexual violence.
Morgan Hoodenpyle, Women's Center Operations Coordinator, opened the event, welcoming students and s taff in attended and served as

The unfair stigma of "Brokeback Mountain"
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
At the 2006
O scars, t he movie
" Crash" walked
away w ith the t op
p rize. T hough it
was a decent f ilm
about racism in
A merican,
the
other n ominated f ilms dealt
w ith r iveting topics in a more
i ntense and potent way. "Good
Night and Good L uck" was the
t rue story about government
c ensorship and " Munich" was
a f ilm about the r epercussions
of the a ssassination of Israeli
a thletes at the 1972 Olympic
Game by P alestinian t errorists, and both have implications that are still are relevant. In a ddition, " Capote"
is the story about f amous
writer, Truman Capote, and
the s truggles he f aced as an
author and a homosexual.
However, the most dramatically moving f ilm of that year
was "Brokeback M ountain."
Not only did the Academy
rob it of Best P icture, today it
still f aces the stigma as " that
gay cowboy movie."
In my experience, I have
found that most fcf t hese comments come f rom people who
have not even seen the f ilm. It
is u nfair to c riticize such an
important f ilm without personal experience. U nfortunately,
people are unable
to look beyond the
element of homosexuality and miss
the art and inspiring moments of t his
f ilm.
Director Ang Lee
made "Brokeback Mountain" about more than l eftwing p ropaganda. It has the
elements that put it in the
r unning for being one of
the best f ilms of the current decade. The late Heath
Ledger gave the best performance of his career and
deserved the nomination for
Best Actor. His tragic death
makes t his p erformance
that much more important. In all other areas, t his
movie excelled, such as
the cinematography, other
a ctors, and the breathtaking score.
It is a monumental f ilm
meant to dispel ignorance,
and yet still i ncreases it
in some people. However,
t here have been previous
f ilms about homosexuality, t his one is i mportant
because not only is it done
well — it boldly challenges
the image of the A merican
cowboy.

For up-to-date information, visit
CSUSM's Budget Central online
IMPACT T O CSUSM
•
A 10 percent budget reduction would be a $2.5 million cut to CSUSM's current budget, with an additional $3.1 million cut
based on no growth, creating a total reduction of $5.6 million.
•
The cuts would mean larger class sizes, reduced student support, and fewer course sections resulting in students taking
longer t o graduate. It would mean greater workload for CSU faculty and staff and no funding for compensation agreements
resulting in a decline in employee morale and performance.
•
CSUSM grew over 25 percent in the last three years. Based on 0 percent growth, approximately 750 qualified students would
not be able t o enroll if CSUSM is not able to accommodate additional new student enrollment in 2008-09. First-time
freshmen and transfer students who apply late to fall 2008 will not be considered unless enrollment space becomes available.
•
These cuts will erase significant gains the university has made t o increase access for minority and underserved communities.
CSUSM's student population now reflects 22.4 percent Hispanic and 27.6 percent other minorities.
IMPACT T O CSU
•
This budget cut is in addition to $522 million in funding cuts to the CSU between 2002 and 2005.
•
The CSU will be unable to provide access to 10,000 qualified students, mostly California residents, which will have a direct
impact on the state's economy and on the key industries that our graduates enter, such as nursing, teaching, agriculture,
business, public administration and technology. Future demand for college graduates outweighs the supply by 6 percent representing a million graduates
•
The CSU graduates 90,000 students each year, including 87 percent of education graduates, 64 percent o f nurses, 65 percent
of business professionals, 82 percent of those involved in public administration, and more than half of the state's graduates in
agriculture-related fields.
•
The proposed budget cuts to CSU would remove more than $1 billion from the state's economy.
•
The negative impact o n student access would fall disproportionately on students from underrepresented communities. For
2008, freshman applications t o CSU for Latinos are up by 21 percent and African Americans by 11 percent over previous years.
IMPACT T O THE REGION
•
Cuts to the CSU will be felt by the regional economy as CSUSM generates a total impact of $307 million, sustains
5000 jobs, and generates more than $16 million per year in tax revenue.
•
With 42.3 percent of all new students coming from North San Diego, and 18.6 percent from South San Diego the
impact t o college-bound students and their parents in the region will be devastating.
•
The majority of our graduates enter into business, education, or other professional services fields. North County as
a growing region is dependent on our graduates as teachers, nurses, business leaders, and service professionals.
•
CSUSM's alumni continue t o live in California, with more than half working in San Diego County. T wo out of five of
our alumni work in education; more than two-thirds work in their chosen fields.

According to the November 2000 National Violence

of women in the United States
have survived a completed

among several guests, watching
while activists and community
members spoke about the lives of
farm workers during the 1960s and
1970s.
Later in the evening, students and
other community members laid carnations and litpandles. They shared
some experiences as immigrant
workers while they sat at the steps
of Chávez Plaza.
"With César Chávez, a man like
that truly deserves this honor," said
,Nelson. "When we received this
commission, we were very fortunate to have done this."
Before his death in 1993, Chávez
spent more than two decades fighting on the behalf of immigrant
farm workers across California and
Texas: He was responsible for the
creation of the United Farm Workers Union which organized strikes
and boycotts to create higher wages
for farm workers and immigrant
rights.

Chávez Day, which also happens
to be his birthday. The week prior

Usually hosted at local schools,
fairgrounds, or parks, teams walking in the Relay are the core makeup
of the event. Team members take
turns in a sponsored walk-a-thon,
in addition to other activities, which
include entertainment, booths, and
inspirational speakers aiming to
raise money and awareness about
cancer and the ACS.
Last year, Relay for Life raised
$33.3 million in California alone,
with over 12,388 participating
teams with 34,572 cancer survivors participating in the sponsored
events. More than 3.5 million
people participate in Relay for Life
nationwide each year, and this past
weekend, hundreds participated at
San Marcos High School.
Cal State San Marcos student
and staff writer Lance Cartelli
said, "The event was amazing.
Seeing everyone affected by cancer
coming together whether it be
people that have family members
orfriendsthat diedfromcancer or
the survivors of cancer, everyone
coming together for a single cause
and telling why they are 'relaying'
was amazing and one of the most

Participants are expected
to arrive between 5 p.m. and
8 p.m. at Liberty Station in
Point Loma with their own
sleeping gear. The San Diego
rescue mission has indicated
on their website that the
event will not be cancelled on
account of inclement weather,
saying, " the homeless sleep
outside even in unfavorable
weather."
"This year, it is the goal
of Alpha Kappa Psi to shed
light on these issues to students who do not typically
see these problems in North
County," CSUSM sophomore
and member of Alpha Kappa
Psi, Melissa Mattingly said.
"Our goal is to raise $2500
to donate to the San Diego
Rescue Mission."
Mattingly, who "was recently
crowned Miss Escondido,
said, "I found out about the
San Diego Rescue Mission
through the Miss Escondido
pageant, and I have been
working with them ever since
I won."
Like a walkathon, participants will conduct fundraising for "Sleepless in San
Diego" through the acquisition of sponsors, usually
friends, family, co-workers
and neighbors.
According to Alpha Kappa
Psi, ^'Donations to the San
Diego Rescue Mission go
to support two core recovery programs encompassing
in-depth services for lasting change, as well as an
emergency shelter, providing men, women and families the opportunity for both
immediate relief and longterm transformation."
As of April 10, Alpha
Kappa Psi has raised $3200,
far exceeding its initial f undraising goal. While there
is a minimum donation of
$50 required to get into the
event for most participants,
students participating with
Alpha Kappa Psi are asked
to donate j ust $10.
Alpha Kappa Psi is still
looking to get as many
people involved in the event
as possible and hopes to
garner media attention at the
event. Students interested in
participating should contact

ing the night's entertainment.
Ranging from the ballads of
international singer/songwriter
Tiamo De Vettori, to spoken
word performances by Kimberly Dark and Miz Liberty,
to colorful and energetic dance
numbers by drag queens Tatiana, Marilyn McWilliams, and
Moment St. John, the evening
was lively, light-hearted and
jubilant.
Highlighting the vision for
the LGBTQ Pride Center as a
place that "creates, sustains, and
strengthens an open, inclusive,
safe, and affirming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, intersex, queer,
questioning, and ally communities," all present for the celebration affirmed and empowered
CSUSM's next step in bettering
the campus community.
"The Pride center is a great
addition to ASI's programs
and services sponsored by
education, advocacy, support,
resource information, and a
safe place for all students," said
ASI CEO and President Caitlin Gelrud. "It was through the
voice and advocacy of CSUSM
students that this center was
established. In the spring of
2007, the ASI Board of Directors approved the strategic
planning and establishment of
the LGTBQ Center."
Manning introduced the
keynote speaker, Windmeyer,
as "the leading author on gay
campus issues, a national leader
in gay and lesbian civil rights,
and a champion for LGBT
issues on college campuses.
He is the executive director of
'Stop the Hate' and the executive director for 'Campus Pride,'
the only national organization
for student leaders and campus
organizations
working
to
create a safer campus environment for LGBT students" and
spoke about his several books
addressing LGBT students and
involvement in sororities and
fraternities.
"One of the things I think the
LGBTQ Center is really about
is the community," said Windmeyer, "and I'm not telling you
anything new when it comes
to how important community
is on a college campus...This
shouldn't just be about LGBTQ
people, this should be about
the entire campus community.
And the LGBTQ Pride Center
should be a place where we can
educate across intersections of
identity."
Toward the end of the evening
Dr. Bridget Blanshan, Dean of ,
Students at CSUSM, recognized
alumni and graduating students
who have and had worked hard
in the LGBTA community on
campus by honoring them, their
courage, and commitment to
the campus community with
a special certificate and commencement cord.
The LGBTQ Pride Center
is now open and located at

Can't find affordable
health insurance?
There are options available for
students on and off of campus
BY A RIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
A notable concern among college students
is quality health care insurance. While it can
be difficult to find a policy that adequately
covers student needs, if one "browses
around" there are many private insurance
policy options available to suit an individual's particular requirements. In addition,
many insurance packages that are available
are specifically designed for student situations.
As a short brief: CSUSM's requires all
students to have health insurance (including international students). Consequently,
the university does have a health insurance
policy available.
The health insurance policy offered by
CSUSM is advocated for those who do not
have private medical or liability insurance.
The policy also o ffers hospitalization benefits and other specific medical services.
Students also have the option of purchasing the insurance policy on a semester or
yearly basis. To enroll in the student health
insurance plan, visit the Associated Students
Office in Commons 205 and/or Student
Health Services.
There is also extended student health
insurance offered by CSU Health Link
that covers medical needs that exceed the
resources of Student Health and Counseling
Services such as specialist and emergency
rooms referrals.
Students can run into some tricky problems when their parents' insurance policy
no longer covers them or when students have
jobs that do not offer insurance benefits, so
it is best to research and find a specific or
comprehensive policy that can serve particular concerns.
To find the best policy, just research and
find a plan that works—some plans have
year-round coverage, some are based on
full-time/part-time student status, and some
are more flexible with doctor and hospital
choices.

insurance plans and some get common
questions answered, visit insurance carrier's websites, or check the following:

The opening of the new University Store
on April 7 not only marks an exciting day
for the University's Foundation, but it also
begins a new chapter for all CSUSM members to revive their school spirit and nurture the growing campus community. In
addition to the now textbook-only store
located downstairs from the new
store on the f ifth floor of Craven

and eager to serve students in
many new ways.

to do is go to the University Store, request come here to the store," said Brown. "This
is such a perfect location. We're really
looking forward to getting more involved
on the campus."
No matter what time of year, students
will always be able to find the classic gray,
white, and navy CSUSM and Cougar logo
wear, but students can also expect to see
seasonal fashion-forward merchandise
that reflects current fashion trends and
allows students to show off their CSUSM
pride in the store. "We carry what we call
'Ra-Ra or school-spirited things, which is
our thing with the new cougar logo, but we
mix in a little bit of fashion with it," said
Brown.
The new store is easily accessible, f ully stocked, and
planned with college students in mind. Complete
with an Apple computer
and product section, soon
students will be able to
test the Apple products for
themselves before purchasing
them, and all students are

With the end of the

" That's all based on teachers'
requisitions," said Brown, "so if the
teachers get their orders in, that's
how we gage our buyback. We
know that textbooks are expensive,
and there is a textbook affordability
issue on all campuses."

there is still a big issue the Univer-

on campus: the cost of textbooks. That is
why the University Store is o ffering a new
scholarship program in coordination with
ASI to cover the cost of textbooks. " It's
something we started this past spring,"
said Brown. "We're calling it the 'Textbook Rewards Program' and we're working in conjunction with ASI."
Each semester 10 students can receive
the scholarship, which covers the cost of
textbooks up t o $450 per student. "It w asn't

One week from today, the United States
will celebrate its 38th annual Earth Day.
As the result of nearly four decades of
environmental awareness, the surface of
April 22nd is synonymous with tree-hugging, hemp clothes, and liberal protests.
A far cry from p o l i t y in the 60s and 70s,
the modern Earth Day presents revolutionary thinking and opportunities for every
American to change the world for the
better.
April 22,1970 was the first official Earth
Day in America. Following his election
into the U.S. Senate in 1962, former Wisconsin State Senator and Governor Gaylord
Nelson took up environmental preservation
activism under the presidency of John. F.
Kennedy. "For several years," Nelson said,
"it had been troubling me that the state of
our environment was simply a non-issue in
the politics of the country." Thus, Nelson
and Kennedy set out on an environmental conservation tour through the states in
the fall of 1963 to raise awareness on the
issues. Unfortunately, the tour was largely
a failure. Nelson felt that even though the
tour barely received any political attention,
"it was the germ of the idea that ultimately
flowered into Earth Day." As Nelson continued his presence in the U.S. legislature,
he traveled to as many states as he could.
Troubling evidence of environmental degradation was apparent all over the country, yet concern over the facts was wholly
absent from the political agenda. Through
Nelson's talks and activism, he created a
somewhat backwards course of action: he

Forgetting an mp3 player or iPod at
home should no longer be a burden. There
is an easy to use website which allows the
user to upload a playlist of 12 songs (each
song not being larger than lOmb) and keeps
everyone's favorite playlist a click away.
On muxtape.com it takes no
more than 15 seconds to create
a free account. This website not
only allows the user to listen to
music from any computer with
internet access, it also creates a
community of playlists which
allow all its members to listen to
each o tters top songs.
Muxtape works by browsing
the user's saved media files and
uploading it to the site in which the
person agrees to share their playlist
with everyone. Listening to music
is simple as well, after creating a
playlist or browsing through other
members' playlist the user clicks
on the title of the song and the song
begins to stream, want to pause the
song just click on the title again and
it pauses.
Another great feature which
Muxtape provides is allowing
the user to add its favorite playlist from other members by pressing add playlist or remove playlist
:
if the user decides it no longer
pleases them.
As an avid music listener Muxtape allows me to take my favorite
songs with me to wherever I go,
took the issues to the people before
appealing to the government.
Finally, in 1970, Nelson took part
in an environmental "teach-in", which
acted as a response to the rising perception
of ecological conditions across the nation.
Earth Day itself was a spontaneous reaction to the millions of Americans Nelson
reached out to looking to raise environmental interests to the forefront of politics. "That was the remarkable thing about
Earth Day," Nelson remembers, "it organized itself."
With "going green" as the newest trend,
there are certainly plenty of opportunities to get involved this Earth Day. The
government has stepped up environmental awareness, presenting a whole host of
ways to promote cleaner air with a public
education group called "It All Adds Up."
The group's focus is on ways that communities can reduce air pollutants through
more conscientious commuting. "It All
Adds Up" offers tips for dropping individual pollutant production from autos.
By simply keeping a car's tires properly
inflated, fuel use can decrease by up to 18
gallons a year. Getting regular tune-ups is
also essential; a well-maintained car will
produce 20% less ozone emissions than
one that is not.
Moreover, "reduce, reuse, recycle" may
as well be Earth Day's slogan. Reduce use
of disposable products by buying permanent items, and refrain from buying products that have large amounts of packaging.
Reuse plastic grocery bags as trash bags, use
hand towels in the kitchen rather than rolls
ofpaper towels, and donate unwanted items
to charities rather than throwing them out.

Hypem.com or The Hype
Machine is another Internet
revolution for the music industry. In the world of blogs, several pertain to music reviews
and opinions. The Hype
Machine is a resource where the registered
music blogs come together in a convenient
way for Internet users. The site tracks the
activity on a wide variety of blogs and
relays the posts onto it for easier browsing
of music opinions,
The mission, according to the site, is to
inform people of music they are unaware
of and expose them to new possibilities.
Internet users can browse music
according to the reviews of others
that have similar taste. Previews
of songs are available, as well as
a link to the Amazon and iTunes
music stores. The founders of the
site intended this to steer people
to new artists and help them make
money through sales.
The Hype Machine is userfriendly for all users, but according to the site, the most popular
demographic is "a more male,
fairly wealthy, youthful, more educated crowd." Another bonus is the
amount of reviews made possible
by the live indexing of songs and
artists. The Hype Machine makes
searching for and discovering new
tunes much easier, as compared
with searching on individual blogs.
In addition, unlike published music
reviews, these are the honest and
raw opinions of "musicphiles."
Though the site favors the alternative and indie types of music, it
contains information to interest
fans of ai types of music. People
who are open to new music should
try The Hype Machine because it
is a resource of music blogs unlike
any other site.

Summer school is a great option for
students whether their need is acceleration or remediation. While summer
school is a good opportunity to catch
up on college credits there are various
concerns to be aware of in choosing to
enroll in summer courses. It is important to remember that summer programs are shorter and more condense
in time than regular semester classes.
Summer programs include a whole
semester's worth of work, so be aware
to not take too many classes and do
not expect it to be easier than regular
semester classes.
At CSUSM there are several deadlines, so be sure to keep track of them
to successfully register and begin
classes. To find out what tuition and
fees may be (depending on how many
credits are taken) check the summer
school information webpage on
M yCSUSM:http://sweb.csusm.edu/
Schedule/200830/fees.asp.
The priority enrollment period is
from April 7 to April 21, 2008. Any
holds on record need to be cleared
before proceeding. From April 22
to June 1 (Summer 2008 schedule
adjustment period), a student may add
or drop classes in the newly instated
My CSUSM system. The payment
deadline for classes registered up to
May 14 is May 15, 2008. For classes
that are registered on or a fter May 15,
fees are due by the next business day
at noon.
The first day of classes starts June 2
and the add/drop period is from June
2 to June 9, 2008. June 9 is the last
day to drop a class (that meets for the
summer first session) with no aca-
demic record. June 9 is also the last
day to add a summer 2008 class that
meets for the first part of the term
including f ull session, first session
and second session. On June 10 for
late registration be prepared to pay
late registration and adding fees. July
6 is the last day of classes for those
that meet for the first term.
The second session of summer starts
beginning on July 7. July 10 is the last
day to drop classes without academic
record. August 9 is the last day of
classes for the second term.
For more details and to register
for summer school, check CSUSM's
summer school class offerings through
MyCSUSM. In addition, CSUSM
Extended Studies also provides many
summer programs so check their class
offerings.
If CSUSM does not offer a particular class for a student, a good alternative choice is to check out local
community colleges such as Palomar
or Mira Costa, which o ffer plenty of
classes to suit one's academic needs.
Apply for admission (if one is a new
student) as soon as possible in order to
register for classes sooner before they
fill up to limits. Another benefit for
taking classes at community colleges
is that the costs can sometimes be less
expensive than at universities.
Overall, surtimer school can be a
helpful choice for students, but to
make it a beneficial experience there
is a duty as a responsible student. As a
student, make sure to factor in devoting enough time to classes and other
comprehensive details including class
offerings, work status, and financial situation and plan one's schedule
accordingly.

We have all heard of the term "minidorms," but what exactly are they?
According to the city of San Diego
a mini-dorm is any house or apartment having three or more living areas
including rooms and lofts. These minidorms have been popping up all around
San Diego for decades. The amount of
living area is j ust too small for the masr
sive amount of college students that
reside throughout the entire city.
With colleges such as SDSU, CSUSM,
UCSD, Mira Costa, Palomar, and the
San Diego City College campuses that
are all stationed in San Diego there are
thousands and thousands of students
that need places to live.
As a sophomore at CSUSM Jack Overman says, "Living in a mini-dorm is a
lot more convenient. It makes rent a lot
cheaper when you live with a bunch of
people rather than living with another
person somewhere else. And with such
a high cost of living here in San Diego,
the more money s^ved the better."
The problem with these kinds of living
situations is the fact that the houses that
students are moving into were originally created for j ust one family. Students are known to pack 10-15 kids into
a house that was made for a family of
4 or 5. Neighbors complain because of
the excess noise and trash, not to men-
tion the amount of cars due to limited
parking.
Both sides of the spectrum have their
reasonable points, but so far nothing
has been done to change it. With the
ever-increasing amount of college students pouring into every county of San
Diego the amount of mini-dorms is only
going to increase each year.
As a student down at SDSU, Allison Ives believes that "mini-dorms j ust
make everything a lot easier for everyone. Living in a house with 7 girls makes
rent a lot lower and I love having so
many people over all the time, although
I can tell it does annoy the neighbors
a lot." With students needing places to
live and families needing more peace
and quiet throughout their neighborhoods is there any way to create a compromise?
The city of San Diego is currently
holding meetings and thinking about
placing ordinances around the city in
order to limit the amount of mini-dorms
that are allowed to stay standing. Laws
are also being thought of to banish
mini-dorms altogether.
If this is truly the case then a lot of
homeless college students will be looking for places to live within the next
few years. The city needs to figure out
a good compromise in order to allow
students to get a great education while
still living in the beautiful city of San
Diego.

Get snuggly and musically satisfied with Gypsies
The Gypsy Lounge is the new place to be for musical nomads
BY ADAM LOWE
Pride Staff Writer
Music is one of the most important
influences in my life, as well as many
others', I'm sure. The feeling I get when
I see that musician take the stage and
debut his musical talent for the night - it
is unmatched by almost any other feeling.
This is why there is no better way to bask
in awe of a well deserving musician than
in the comfort of a place so personal that
you can almost call it home.
This is the reason that The Gypsy
Lounge
(www.thegypsylounge.com)
in Lake Forest, CA is beyond any bit of
doubt, my favorite place in the world (at
least thus far) to enjoy live music. As soon
as you walk in the door, you are met with
an extremely "living room" type of atmosphere. There are a handful of retro looking couches lining the walls with enough
pillows to prop yourself up or just snuggle
with, depending on your preference and
mood.
Aside from the fact that The .Gypsy
Lounge has the most comfortable seating
and makes the best and strongest drinks,
it is host to some of the greatest music in
Orange County - a lot of some big names
in music had their innocent beginnings at
this very club. Many of these bands who
began their careers playing little shows
to small crowds in this club have gone on
to become some of today's more popular
radio played musicians.
Rocco Deluca and the Burden, one
of today's best concert selling artists, is
one of the former hosts of a weekly night
of local artists coming together to play
acoustic sets at The Gypsy Lounge. This
title now shared by Chris Paul Overall, AJ
DeGrasse, Jay Buchanan, Joseph Denges
of Hollowell, Cory Joseph of Sleepless Me
and many other incredibly talented musicians. Along with Rocco Deluca is Brett
Panic at the Disco
sends SOMA fans
into a hot panic
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Pride Staff Writer
What do you get when you cross hundreds of fourteenyear-old girls and their misfortunate parents, Honda Civics,
and shrieking during sound checks, but no exclamation point
necessary? Why, a Panic at the Disco concert, of course.
On Saturday, April 12, this year's Honda Civic tour, headlined by the band formerly known as Panic! at the Disco,
arrived to a sold out Soma in San Diego.
Dennen, yet another example of a local
artist who began playing shows at The
Gypsy Lounge and ended up with quite a
popular following and a wonderful amount
of radio credit.
Music changes lives - it has the ability
to take every single
emotion, especially
those that don't
make sense to you
- and it helps them
to become clear. If
some of these major
musicians had their
modest
beginnings in this club,
who knows what
could happen if you
showed up. Every
Tuesday is "not so
acoustic Tuesday"
and showcases some
of the most amazing
talent in Orange County and surrounding
areas. Take the drive - pay the few bucks
to get in - spend a few hours escaping
from your world and enter the soothing
world of music. Allow it to move you and
your life will be changed.

Living in San
Diego, a sushi restaurant isn't too
hard to come by.
A restaurant like
Sushi Huku, however, is an invaluable find for any sushi consumer.
Located conveniently close to
campus at 727 W. San Marcos Blvd,
Sushi Huku is a sushi restaurant
that offers phenomenal food fit for
a college student's budget.
Upon entering the restaurant
a customer is warmly welcomed
by the f riendly s taff. The t ype of
dining experience you are looking for should dictate where you
choose to sit. A prominent t hing to
note is the vastly d ifferent atmosphere between sitting at a table
or up at the bar. The tables o ffer
traditional Japanese style seat-
ing and create the p erfect
romantic atmosphere for
a datè. Sit at the bar for a
more exciting, entertaining atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with a
group of f riends. The f un
loving chefs love t o converse and never hesitate to celebrate with their customers. Don't
be surprised if you get
to know the s taff on
a first name basis, as
they somehow seem to
remember the names
of all their customers.
The restaurant offers
a full sushi menu as
well as a variety of
other traditional Japanese style dishes. The
prices blow many other
sushi restaurants out of
the water. Traditional
Maki rolls are offered
at $4.00; where as specialty rolls
rarely exceed $8.00.
So, when looking for a great sushi
restaurant to take that someone special or to have a night out with some
friends, look no further than Sushi
Huku. Great food, great prices, and
a great atmosphere — What more
is there to ask for in a sushi restaurant?
purchased
the
brewery
from
Korbel
Champagne Cellars.
The
large
brown glass bottles holds 25.4
fluid
ounces.
Grey and black
hues
comprise
the majority of
the label. A pitchfork looking object
takes center stage. Red lettering is
used in the name of the ale. Unlike
most beers, which are capped with
bottle caps, the brewery utilizes a
system found on most champagne
bottles. A mesh wire secures a cork
and thin aluminum cap with the
brewery's name in white and red
stencil, which all work together to
keep the bottle pressurized. The ale
has a 7,75% alcohol by volume. The
ale retails for $7.39 at BevMo.
The ale pours light and crisp yet surprisingly generates a full inch thick
head. The head gradually reduces to
a quarter inch thick. A slight head
then remains
for the duration of consumption. The
ale radiates a heavenly golden hue while carbonated
bubbles blissfully glide to the top of
the chilled glass. A scent similar to
that of the smells associated with a
Sunday barbeque occupy the surrounding air space. The ale enters
the mouth and quickly signals for a
thrilling ride. The ale then quickly
attacks the taste buds. The taste
buds and tongue tense up due to the
powerful surge. The ale descends
beyond leaving a thick coating of
yummy in its wake.
"The smooth and sweet malty hop
flavor of Damnation is what makes it
hands down, my favorite Belgian Ale
anywhere on the market," said senior
Literature and Writing Studies Major
Adam Lowe.
Damnation should be enjoyed by
itself. This peculiar ale deserves full
attention to ensure proper satisfaction
and experience. Enjoy Cougars!

Throughout the concert, I couldn't help but ask myself
whether or not the Tweens and die-hard Panic fans really
enjoyed their new music as much as their older hits (after all,
nothing in the new CD allows them to legitimately scream
out 'WHORE' to assist the song). But while their dance,
electrónica, and pop sound may be a thing of the past and
their stage performances alongside burlesque dancers and
sideshow circus backdrops are a distant memory, their talent
still shines through.
Now that they've abandoned the synthesizer for acoustic
guitars, anyone who may have disregarded their music from
the first album could learn to love them with an open mind
and a fresh appreciation for classic rock with a twist.
Anyone attending the additional tour dates should expect
a good show., .at the end. While last year's Honda Civic Tour
headlined by Fall Out Boy opened with up and coming talent—this year's showcases bands that have been opening for
years without even a well known hit. The exception goes to
Phantom Planet for their 'California' single, which came out
in...2004?
Panic's musical abilities are still ever apparent. Lead singer
Brendon Urie's vocals were on par even though it was his
21st birthday. And, as an added bonus, the crowd got to sing
'Happy Birthday' to him.
In their first album, the boys were still so young and desperate for attention. Now Panic at the Disco, in their sophomore album, assures fans they don't have to worry—that
they are still the same band. But while the band's four members are still the same, their music is clearly not.

Funny field anties can't save

A h, t he throwback days of football. If

Instead, George Clooney's " Leatherheads"
only gives tidbits that make us long for the
a utumn tradition. H is attempt t o carve out
a piece of his own vision as a t op Hollywood f ilmmaker still feels years away
in this film set in 1925.

It is questionable whether "Leatherheads" should be considered a sports

The film is a contrast f rom Clooney's
recent work, who directed "Good Night,

and
entices the audience with
its good looking cast, quality acting, and raw horror.
Set in Cancun, Mexico,
"The R uins" begins with
four American college
students on a leisurely
vacation. When they
meet a German student,
Mathias, played by Joe
Anderson of "Across
the Universe," the
foursome decides to
j oin the other international students to visit
an ancient Mayan temple
that is supposed to be exclusive and off
the modern maps.
Based on the novel t urned screenplay by Scott B. Smith, the meat of the
film comes f rom the developing characters as they come to grips with the
reality set before them as once at the
temple, they become trapped and prisoners to a fate no logic or reason is able
to explain. Without giving away too
many of the exciting plot twists and key
moments in the film, it is safe to say that
the temple and the means to which the surrounding inhabitants go to keep it hidden
are extreme. For those who have not read
" The Ruins," on top of being scary, it is a
f un watch because the director and screenplay writer made conscious decisions to let
the audience discover what is happening
right alongside the characters in
the film, unlike many
other horror films that
are predictable and
expected. Not only
does this manipulate
the audience's formal
expectations of the specific characters and their

" The
R uins" presents a psychological fear and dilemma unlike many other
horror flicks, as it capitulates traditional
plot motivations, and utilizes an evolved
fear that even with prosthetics and CG3
animation, is still hard to w rap one's brain
around. One thing is for sure though, " The
R uins" is worth the outrageous admission
price, and it will not disappoint even the
harshest of critics.

THE PRIDE
101 I
Pleasing your partner
... You know, in that way
Everyone is a geek
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Everyone
loves
being pleased. Every
time it happens, it's
like your birthday.
Someone is taking
time out of their
day and their personal lust for physical gratification so that you
can get your jollies off. And
it might include cake and ice
cream when it's all over, so
technically, you both win.
Know when I say "pleasing"
your partner, I mean pleasing them in terms that may
not include intercourse in any
way. This can include outercourse, emotional pleasing,
or j ust simply being happy
together.
I am sure all of us out there
want to please our partners
because (it's true) we love them.
We love them and we want them
to get the most out of our sexual
experiences. Whether we want
to get down and start pleasing
our men/women remember that
you are in love. If you are not in
love and just there for the ride,
then you're either a horrible
person
or
in
d enial.
But
n onetheless, whether you
love the person you're
with or not, remember that this form of
outercourse might as
well be just as serious as intercourse and the necessary safety
precautions should be taken.
But according to a friend
that I know very well, the
one thing all of you need to
remember, no matter your sex
or your partner's, remember
this sequence: clockwise for
20 seconds, counter clockwise
10 seconds, left, right, left,
right, and clockwise for 10
seconds.
If this doesn't work, don't
blame me, it sounded legitimate (plus he has credentials,
he's a psychology major).
But then again, if you really
want to use this logic of love
making, you might as well
follow the Contra code (anybody else remember it? Up,
up, down, down, l eft, right,
left, right, B, A, START).
I apologize if I
offend anyone, but
everyone is a geek.
Society has dragged
this term through the
mud and made it into
an insult. Being a
geek is simply being passionate
about something. No matter the
person, everyone is a geek.
I am a geek about movies,
especially zombieflicks,Westerns, and sci-fi. I enjoy all video
games from shooters, to strategy, to role-playing. I will even
admit that I still dabble in Pokémon, because it is a great game.
Actually, Pokémon is very similar to fantast football or basketball brackets considering the
strategy and tactics involved.
My passion for these things
makes me a geek. In high school,
I would have been ashamed, but
now I am empowered by it. I
do not care if people mock me,
because these are what I like.
Everybody gets their kicks off
something, whether it is sports,
"Star Trek," animals, "World of
Warcraft," coffee, cars, or anything else, it is perfectly normal.
It is abnormal to not
be passionate about
something.
If you take abuse
for what you love, my
advice is do not stop.
Never give up something you love because
of what someone else
says. Ignore those who
put you down, because if they get in
the way of your passions, they do
not care about you.
On the other hand, control your
passion. Do not force it on other
people. Just because you like something, you do not have the authority to make others like it. Introduce
them with small doses. Even too
much for you can be self-destructive.
If you enjoy knocking others
because they enjoy something
"geeky," look at yourself. You are
not so different. Think about what
your passions. Just because society
deems what you like "cool," you
are still a geek. In the end, you are
going to be alone.
Whether you have developed a
love of sports statistics or action figures, embrace what you do. Being
a geek is nothing to make fun of,
because every single person reallya
geek. And that is a good thing.
The division of addition and illegal aliens
BY BLAINE H MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
Through the addition of immigrants seeking a better life, we
have become a nation of division. There no longer remains
a singular us, but a divided us
and them. Some divisions hide
below the surface, while others
stand tall, reaching out across
hundreds of miles of desert,
separating us from our friends
and neighbors in Mexico. Our
nation is losing her way and
her moral compass in need of
repair.
Our nation today is one
obsessed with political correctness. We live in a time where we
so fear offending others that we
separate and insulate ourselves.
In the process, honest communication is lost. Together, we must
revive honest and open communication in order to reunite and
reconnect. While we avoid the
offensive labeling of others with
derogatory nomenclature out of
political correctness, we have at
the same time ironically adopted
the use of the highly offensive
word "alien" to describe immigrants. In the process we have
created the great chasm of us
and them by burning the bridge
that connects us. It is time for
us to openly agree to disagree
with each other, return to communicating honestly with one
another, and together find ways
to peacefully coexist. This will
illuminate the path back to a
united us.
The United States of America
is a country that many people
consider the greatest on earth.
This honor can only be earned
through deeds, and not through
hollow claims of greatness.
As a nation, we have forgotten
our history. We have forgotten
who we are and where we have
come from. We have forgotten
what, at the very heart, makes
our nation great. It is the immigrant.
We are all immigrants. Every
last one of us is an immigrant.
There is not one person living
anywhere in North America,
let alone within the confines of
United States borders who does
not owe their lives here to immigration. We implore the world
to "bring us your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses,"
with an engraved invitation on
that most American symbol of
freedom: the Statue of Liberty.
Do we have the brazen audacity to forget the vital lessons of
how, and by whom, this great
nation was built?
How dare we assume a political posture that somehow
today immigrants are no longer
worthy enough to live on this
soil? How dare we see immigrants as some type of invasive
foreign entity that will somehow destroy the very fabric of
our society? How dare we label
our fellow citizens of this small
planet with the dehumanizing
term of illegal "aliens?" We
should be ashamed of ourselves
for even thinking about people
who have immigrated here in
such a demeaning and derisive
manner.
The Native American Indians arrived here, by many
accounts, across a bridge of
ice from Asia over ten thousand years ago in search of a
better life. The Viking Erik the
Red led his people here over a
thousand years ago in search
of a better life. While searching for shorter trade routes to
the Far East in search of exotic
spices, Spain settled colonies
here nearly five hundred years
ago, with the Puritans following their lead a hundred years
later. America has long brought
together people from all walks
of life, and added the richness
of their cultures to the American melting pot. For hundreds
of years mixing together the
cultural spices of myriad cultures has created the great banquet of American society. Yet
today we fear that by adding
any more immigrants to this
mix from south of the border
will somehow throw this great
banquet out of balance. This is
an idea which is baseless, fallacious and ludicrous.
The only thing more ridiculous is building a wall across
our southern border to keep
Mexican immigrants out. The
wildly incredible claim that
this wall will keep out terrorists
and drug traffickers is simply
a rouse. The wall is a monument built solely to placate a
public that has been whipped
into frenzy of fear by conservative talk show hosts. Terrorists and drug traffickers will
find the wall no hindrance. If
terrorists and drug traffickers
want to circumvent the wall,
they will continue to go over,
under, around it. More likely
they will find another way into
our country as they prefer the
path of least resistance. This
'Wall of Shame' is the only
thing remotely as ignominious as calling our neighbors
"aliens."
Now is the time for us to
abandon our status as an "Alien
Nation" and reclaim our status
as a nation of the world. To
paraphrase President Reagan's
Berlin speech, we as a nation
need to come to understand,
once again, the importance of
freedom. We need to develop
new policies of reform and
openness."
This can be the beginning
of profound change here in the
United States. But this change
must be real, and not simply a
series of token gestures intended
to create false hope. I understand the fear of terror and the
pain of division that afflicts this
country.
Please, President Obama,
pledge that our country will
overcome these burdens. As
President Reagan said, "We
believe that freedom and security go together." So President
Obama, if you seek peace, if you
seek prosperity for the United
States and North America, I say
to you now President Obama,
tear down this wall.
As this symbolic and very
real representation of the division between us is felled, so too
will the division between us
and those who seek a better life
here in the United States fall.
And then can the healing begin,
and can hopes and dreams be
rise from the ashes of bridges
burned.

"Pollen allergy, commonly
An allergy reaction is the
called hay fever, is one of the immune system's response to a
false alarm, the immune system
reads an allergen as a foreign
containment in the body and thus
begins to attack it and causes
itchy eyes, a runny nose, and
often coughing and sneezing.
Researchers develop theories to
determine the leading source that
cause allergies, but a pin pointed
reason remains unknown. Theories include that in modern
living, homes are very 'clean
and often have very little germs,
thus this ultra clean environment
never allows the immune system
to adapt and learn how tofightoff
airborne allergies because of the
lack of exposure.
The NIAID supported scientist's research that discovered
a link between children whom
grew up with one or two cats or
dogs i n their home and their susceptibility to allergies. The study
revealed that the children were
less likely to develop allergies.
The early exposure to the constant pet allergen may have been
the contributing factor for an
allergy free life.
Another leading theory is
heredity.
"Children are more likely to
develop allergies if one or both
parents have allergies. In addition, exposure to allergens at
times when the body's defenses
are lowered or weakened, such as
after a viral infection or during
pregnancy, seems to contribute
to developing allergies," according to the NIAID.
In severe forms of allergies,
asthma is often connected. The
respiratory symptoms of asthma,
which affect approximately 11
million Americans, are often
provoked by airborne allergens,
according to NIAID.
So what is being done to help
aid this epidemic?
Many cleaning products are
taking action against this more
than common bother, by creating products that are allergen reducers, such as Fabreze®
Fabric Refresher™. The allergen
reducer claims to reduce more
than 75 percent of pollen and dust

C SUSM's seventh annual International Fair
Schoolwide event promotes diversity and community
BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ #
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' seventh
annual International Fair took
place Thursday, April 16. The
three-hour fair took place on University Hall Plaza. This cultural
tradition was organized by University Global Affairs Committee
and was sponsored by Co-Curricular Funding Award, Office of
Global Education, ASI, SLL, LLC
and Many Student Organizations
The International Fair gives
CSUSM students, friends, faculty,
and staff the opportunity to come
together and appreciate the many
cultures that make our university.
One of the most anticipated traditions of the International Fair
is the free sample dishes from
Europe, Latin America, Asia and
many more.
Every year, the German booth's
popularity seems to increase.
Senior CSUSM student, Jean
Scheuneman says, "Every year
we get 300 Rohwurst. We never
know how many people are going
to show up, but we just do the best
we can and we get a lot of people
from our club to help out."
Aside from all the mouth-wa-
tering food, the International Fair
featured entertainment with performances by TAM TAM Mandingue, West African drummers,
and Hip Hop group Soul Junkies.
Kwame Degbor, a visiting professor, enlightened spectators with a
Ghanaian dance.

"It keeps growing, it keeps getting bigger and better. I think this
is one of out best events of the
year. Just the International Fair in
itself and how all the ethnic clubs
and Orgs and everybody coming
out here, enjoying the free food,
enjoying the culture, it's just a day
of unity really. I'm just happy to
be a part of it!" says Alexander.
Each table at the fair included a
variety of displays. The tables had
photographs, objects, and facts
that were unique to each country along with samples of native
foods.

characters unveil the hardships we
all face in gender roles. The play
begins with a sensual bathtub scene

they have fled from their assigned

The performer's versatile abilities
portray the complexity of each character. Jason Gonzales (Giuliano),

moments of laugh-out-loud humor
and inner giggles. The audience
will surely not forget performances
Hie CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts brought "Big Love"
to our campus with a spark of dramatic flare and infectious enthusiasm last week with performances
from April 15-19. As an audience
spectator, I had no choice but to give
some big love to all of the performers. Don't be fooled by the play's
title. Big Love does not succumb
to cliched Varieties of romantic bliss
and the Disney version of everlasting courtship. Directed by Marcos
Martinez and produced by Charles
Mee, "Big Love" delves deeper into
by the three leading ladies played
by Kristine Fernandez and Patricia
Bowen (Olympia), Krista Potocny
and Jessica Ruiz-Bustos (Lydia),
and Yolanda Catano (Thyona). The
brides and the three grooms played
by Jesus Moreno and Drew Quizon
(Nikos), Mucio Vidales (Constantine), and David Edwards (Oed)
showed excellent stamina as they
pounded their fists in tantrums,
rolled on the floor in emotional
agony, and combined yelling with
moments of passionate subtlety.
To set the tone for the evening, the
audience is greeted by two women
in bright white bride dresses as an
usher with black rings around his
eyes will open the door for you to

mind, a mood not only set by the
plot, but also by the performances
of everybody on stage. The stage,
withflowingbackground images of
Italy's countryside, remains simple
with a bathtub and cylindrical bars.
The simple stage allows the performers to make drastic body move-
ments and choreographed ballroom
dance scenes.
The most impressive aspect of
the performance shined through in
the delivery of personal speeches
in which the performer talks upfront to the audience. These personal speeches combine sweeping
philosophical statements with very
human perspectives on love. A
refreshing emphasis of characterto-audience dialogue can be seen in
this "Big Love" quote, "For the sake
of healing, for life to go on, there
will be no justice." For the sake
of appreciating great theater, I clap
loudly and smile on my home down
the Chavez stairs.

In love with Love Boat
D ale's Pale A le
A simple name but a powerful brew
BY JONATHAN
THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Oskar Blues Brewery
brews and cans Dale's
Pale Ale in Lyons, Colorado. The company
formed in 1997. Two years later,
the brewery became a brewpub.
The restaurant side of the company offers their brewed beer,
southern and Cajun styled food,
and live blues music. In 2002,
they claimed to have become the
first US microbrewery to can its
own beer. Employees hand-can
the beer inside a 60-year-old
barn.
BevMo retails six 12 fluid
ounce cans for $8.99. Six cans
are
held together
by a plastic harness. The
l abeling
f eatures
a bright
red, blue,
white, and silver color.
The can looks like an
American flag. The
can pressurizes a brew
with a 6.5% alcohol by
volume. BevMo also
sells four other Oskar
Blues Brewery beers.
Dale's Pale Ale pours chunky
forming a menacing one-inch
thick head. The head resides
momentarily before dissipating into a thin lancet of yummy.
The brew radiates a rich golden
amber hue* The bitter aroma
rising from the glass indicates
the heavy use of malts and hops.
The common name and the
simple guise of can-in-a-beer
does not do the beer justice.
The brew enters smooth before
a ravishing Jason Statham flying
round house kick double punch
assaults all areas of the mouth.
After the initial blow, the taste
buds recuperate only to ask for
more.
The boldness and thickness of
the beer should pair well with
heavy dinners such as steak and
potatoes with lots of dinner
rolls. Avoid consuming
the beer alone. Enjoy the
brew with anything, such
as chips or beef jerky,
to truly enjoy the beer's
courageous flavor.
As the essay and
exam dates stack up
stay focused, but take
a moment of relaxation and enjoy the
tasty Dale's Pale Ale.
Cheers!

In today's troubled economy, if any kind of restaurant has been undaunted and
continues to grow, it's the
süshi bar. Although popular
food chains and local favorites are closing every day all
over the county, sushi bars
continue to sprout up everywhere. Why? It is because
the appeal of the sushi bar is
more than just good food; the
experience is what makes it
memorable and keeps people
coming back. Not the fake,
constructed experience that
some places (coughBenihanascough) have, but somewhere where the employee
is not paid to smile and does
anyway. The atmosphere of a
restaurant and the dedication
of its employees to making
great food and entertaining customers seem like a
lost art. A place that represents this idea perfectly is
the Love Boat sushi bar and
Japanese restaurant located
in the new Las Posas plaza
in San Marcos.
In the past, people would
visit restaurants and bars
because of the repertoire
they had with the people
who work there. As corny as
it sounds, restaurant customers are more likely to come

back to the place "where everybody knows your name". With
the expansion of modern-day
chain restaurants, this kind of
intimacy has been lost in most
places, where communication
is most of the time limited to
a speaker box. What sets the
Love Boat apart from other res^
taurants is the experience you
have with the "bartenders," the
friendly sushi chefs who greet
everyone as they enter, make
recommendations on the best
food that day, and are more than
willing to spread around f ree
drinks for a special occasion.
The Love Boat's menu is typical enough: a blend of traditional sashimi style entrée's, the
fusion sushi rolls like the California, and a generous menu
of meat, fish and vegetable
combinations cooked in Japanese fashion. They offer all the
imported Japanese beers and
sake the Other sushi restaurants
do. Asking around, it becomes
apparent that most people who
go there are not there for the
authenticity. "It's really more of
a hangout spot than a restaurant
for me" says CSUSM junior
Jason Reyna. "We come out here
after school or work when my
friends and I have had a rough
day, and it (the restaurant) just
has a great positive vibe to it.
The place doesn't have the seriousness (about drinking) of a
bar or the formalism of á typi-
cal restaurant. We come for that
middle ground."
Don't get the idea that the
Love Boat is only a place for
partiers, though. The restaurant
is just as much f un as a family
environment as well, according to regular patron and local
business owner Andy Wegner.
"When I bring my kids here, I
don't have to worry about them
being too distracting to the
other people, because there's
so much going on already" said
Wegner. "At the same time, I
prefer to bring them to a place
where they can get food that
is better for them than pizza
or French fries or something."
From religious sushi lovers to
the first-timers, the Love Boat
is the perfect choice for those
looking for a local restaurant
with a little something extra.
For information on the hours
for Love Boat San Marcos, call
760-471-7722. The Love Boat
also has two other locations:
Oceanside, on 125 Old Grove
Rd, and now Rancho Bernardo
at 11611 Rancho Bernardo Rd.

Radiohead
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces and Places Editor
Thorn Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed
O'Brien, and Phil Selway are
arguably the gods of rock.
Their alternative influence on
modern music caught and kept
worldwide attention since their
first release over 16 years ago. I
don't think I need to explain to
you how awesome their music is.
Radiohead is, after all, inexplicable.
Aside from Radiohead clearly
ruling their genre, the band is
also on the forefront of utilizing
green technology.
Lead singer Thom Yorke's
strides to raise awareness about
global sustainability have brought
about major change in the band's
touring habits. In a 2008 interview with Treehugger magazine, Yorke criticizes the music
industry's over-consumption of
resources in order to make more
tour dates while, in turn, bringing in more cash. Yorke, being
the revolutionary he is, made
Radiohead's 2008 In Rainbows
tour the most eco-friendly tour of
recent years.
Liars, Radiohead's opening act,
wrote about their touring experience in a blog on MySpace. "At
the outset we were all given tour

like contraband."
Radiohead also decided to
tour by bus rather than by plane
because just a three-hour flight
emits as much carbon dioxide as a
Hummer would in a year. What's
more, the buses and trucks used
by the bands and crew ran on biofuel.
Radiohead's merch website,
waste.uk.com, revolves around
western over-consumption. The
merchandise producers do everything they can to make products
that that have a minimal impact
on the environment. The newest
items are t-shirts for men and
women made out of recycled
plastic bottles and organic cotton.
There are even some "unbranded"
shirts for those of you who may
not dig on Radiohead as much as
you do on the planet. They also
A neverending story
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Brian and I had found the canoe
on the beach and decided to take
it for a ride ouf onto the lake. We
had been wading earlier and found
that the water temperature was
quite warm. It was almost like
submerging into yourself, it was
hard to tell if you were actually
in the water. We had decided to
go rowing out along the shoreline
and see what was there. We rode
along quietly with nothing more
than a slight slushing of the paddles as they cut through the water,
we surprised several animals who
were basking along the edge of
the lake. As we came around one
bend, we came face to face with
a large bull moose who was busy
eating from the lush greenery at
the water's edge. He immediately
came to attention, alert to the
danger we presented. Snorting his
warning a couple times, he began
to make a move to charge us.
We had quickly and as quietly
as possible, with as little movement as we could manage, come
to a stop. A mere 5 to 10 feet
separated us from the moose.
The shear size of him was breath
taking. Without conscious effort,
I became aware of the sound of
the insects and birds around us as
well as the heat of the sun raising
a prickly heat all over my skin. I
almost swatted a mosquito that
was gnawing at my forearm,
when I realize the moose was
watching my every movement
intently.
I whispered, "Paddle backwards very slowly."
I made a very slow movement with the paddle, trying not
to have the movement appear in
any way threatening. Slowly the
paddle moved forward through
the water causing an imperceptible backward movement of
the canoe. The heat seemed to
rise as the moose's breathing
caught mid-breath and he began
to move his ears impatiently, his
tail twitching side to side as his
nervousness looked for an outlet.
A second stroke of the paddle
brought little more movement
than the first. We seemed to be
moving away by centimeters,
more as a result of the wind and
current than our paddling. A third
and fourth stroke was giving us a
slightly more perceptible movement, and just as I began to think
we had successfully pulled it off,
the moose charged. He covered
the distance without any noticeable effort. Although his speed
was breathtaking, time seemed
to slow to the point of stopping.
I watched the water give way to
his feet, slowly spraying up into
the air. I yelled and back paddled
as hard as I could, but to no avail
as the moose dipped his head,
bringing his large rack to bear on
the bow of the canoe.
The canoe shuddered under

into the air with apparent easy

the wind. Brian and I were
launched into the air and over
the side as the canoe came to
rest a short way from us. The
moose seemed satisfied that he
had dispensed the danger and
turned to wander off into the
woods. We swam to the canoe
and after a brief inspection,
realized it was not functional.
We grabbed onto the debris
and just floated along. The
breeze was picking up and
pushing us further away from
the shore. It was also getting

mountains, the sun seemed to
almost switch off like a light
switch. I could no longer tell
which way the shore was. The

began to listen to the rush of
blood through my ears. My
mind began to hallucinate,
losing its grip on reality. It
was telling me that everything

emphasized drama and conflict
over cheesy bits, "The Soloist" will
be a great teaijerker.
I do not have the same hope for
the other twofilmsin wide release
this week. First, Channing Tatum
stars in a movie called "Fighting."
As one might expect in afilmcalled
"Fighting," the movie is about
Tatumfightingseveral people.
The title "Fighting," redly puts
me off this flick. If the creative
minds behind this film cannot
come up with a better name for a
film aboutfighting,I do not expect
a decent plot or character development. If one wants a good movie
aboutfighting,check out some clas-
sic Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan films,
because they have good stories, and
both men are actual fighters.
I also do not have hope for
"Obsessed." The story is simple.
A husband and wife have a perfect life and then another woman
comes in a throws everything out
of control. The conflict is the wife
versus the new secretary.
I will not be seeing "Obsessed"
any time soon. It stars Beyonce
Knowles, who is a name more than
an actress, the story looksflat,and
the market campaign make this
film look like soft core pornography. "Obsessed" is an amalgamation of other, better, domestic conflict films.
