Road blocks and timing issues
recently forced Associated Students, Inc and Campus Activities
| Board to cancel Cal State San Mar| cos's big campus spring event.
In previous years, ASI organized the Spring Fling dance.
"Spring Fling began in the
Spring of 2006. It was started
to be a big spring event that
would be similar to the fall's
Masquerade Ball," Sara Gallegos, Director of Campus Activities and Marketing said.
This
year, CAB and
ASI wanted to try to put
on a new exciting event.
"We've been talking for years
about holding a concert, a large
concert ... in the place of the
actual Spring Fling dance. We
were going to hold a concert on
campus," Gallegos continued.
However, somewhere along
the way, planning came to a
halt forcing CAB to think of
another way to bring students
fun activities for the semester. Students may wonder why
CAB did not bring back the
Spring Fling dance, but there
was no possible way to organize
the dance because of timing.
"By the time we were informed [of the roadblocks] it
was after finals week...To turn
around and try to book a place
... promotion and everything...
we couldn't turn around and
do it," Gallegos explained.
As a result, ASI and CAB decided to put the budget toward
events and collaborate with
other campus organizations.
Essentially, students still
get their money's worth
with the events ASI and
CAB provide to the campus.
"Everything that comes into
CAB and ASI... goes back to
students," Gallegos finished.
Therefore, students, though
it is disappointing to hear of the
concert cancellation, CAB is
still planning a lot of fun events
for us, so attend them, earn
back some of the money your
.tuition paid for and possibly
win some free concert tickets.

MIDDLE EASTERN PROTESTS A WARENESS S PREADS ON C AMPUS

MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
On Tuesday, March 8, the
Political Science Club at Cal
State San Marcos hosted the
event "Protests and Political
Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr.
Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott
Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East.
The event took place during
U-Hour on Tuesday, and students
poured in to listen to the words of
expert professors. An estimate of
75 attendees crammed themselves
into a University Hall classroom.
Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed
the event as having "perfect
timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle
East [and] it is important people
understand what is going on."
She continued, "not only is it
important to know what's going
on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there."
Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori
aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations.
Dr. Greenwood began the
event with his presentation titled
"Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt
and Libya," which juxtaposed
the democratic success in Tunisia
and Egypt against the tragedy of
events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood
carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable
to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played
by new media such as Facebook

Angeles event tickets as consolation for CSUSM's big budget spring event's cancellation.
ASI raffles a pair of tickets
each to events such as a Lady

Coachella, to name a few, when
students go to CAB events.
"Each CAB event any student comes to can get an opportunity drawing ticket each
time and put it in the event box
they choose, so the more events
you come to the more chances
you have to win," Gallegos said.
ASI reallocated its budget to "beef up" it's currently

and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr.
Greenwood's enthusiasm and
empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he
also discussed. Greenwood often
chanted "We can do this!" as a
way to explain the attitudes of the
demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting
it to the lack of success in Libya.
Following Dr. Greenwood's
presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in
his presentation titled "Iran,
Searching for a Promise." Dr.
Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three
factors: the state, the opposition
and the international dynamic.
Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a
theoretical basis that aided in ex-
plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the
Iranian
demonstrations.
Whether students showed
up for extra credit, free pizza
or sheer interest in the subject,
there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella
Pruitt, surprised by the turnout,
commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our
campus is still very lackluster in
terms of student life [for a variety
of reasons]. I guess we should
have reserved a larger room!"
Awareness gf political and
humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential
these days, and as reflected by
the large student turnout, the
CSUSM community realizes this.

If you have ever dreamed
about working at the Disneyland

as earn college credit, now is
your chance to hear about joining the Disney College Program.
On Thursday March 17 from
noon to 1 p.m. in the Career
Center (Craven 1400), students
who have previously been a part
of this program will discuss and
show videos explaining different
jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college
program. The program, which
celebrates its 30th year, allows
students to earn college credit
by working, living and taking a
selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or
at the Disneyworld Resort in
Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity
to meet people from all across
the country, establish transferable
skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts.
The program allows students
to work and learn at the same
time in a very unique setting.
The program's sessions run only
in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of
the nature of the Disney program
being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both
theme parks. Depending on which
program a student may choose,
it could last four to six months.
There are a wide variety of jobs to
choose from through the Disney
College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme
parks hotels, hostess, character,
concierge, costuming, custodial,
food and beverage, hospitality,
housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College
Program also allows students to
continue their work at Disney
with professional internships.

I met my wife on a dating site,
proposed on Skype, and our family attended our Vegas wedding
via live streaming Internet video.
When two percent of all marriages in the United States come from
eHarmony alone, it may be time
to face the fact that Internet dating sites have replaced bars, clubs
and classrooms as the main places to meet your mate. College students are a busy group, balancing
school and often a job. Online dating may be a viable option if you
find yourself in need of romance.
Although the same social protocols apply to fostering an online
attraction, dating on the web can
be tricky. Mastering non-verbal
communication skills in addition to absent body language can
take months. Before you spend
hundreds of dollars on dead-end
dates, take the time to read these
tips that will help the virtual
Casanova make the jump from
online zero to romantic hero.
1.
Joining
a
Site
Do: Join a few different sites
at first. Dating sites range from
very general to niche sites that
are designed for a group like
single parents or Christians. Be
sure to join at least one of each
in order to objectively establish your comfort zone. After a little time, you will know
which site(s) work best for you.
Don't: Pay for a membership until you have received a decent response rate. Most sites offer a free
sign-up but won't allow email or
chat communication with other
members until a fee is paid. You
might pay for a site only to realize later that its interface is not
user-friendly or that there are
simply no members in your area.
2.
Creating
a profile
Do: Post at least 150 words. Be
sure to accurately explicate your
personality and interests. Use
humor and wit to entice a possible mate and leave out the sob
story about your ex. If you like
model airplanes and Foghat then
find a clever way to say so. Also,
post a minimum-of three pictures
that illustrate your best look, your
group of friends and you doing

�TAKE CARE OVER THERE
TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY
J ENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E DITOR
The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the
SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in
Spain before he went missing in
February, emblazoned the reality
of travel dangers in stark black
and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the
stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break
adventures. Before packing your
suitcase, refresh yourself with
these travel guidelines that will
help ensure a safe return home.
Before you pick a destination,
check government travel websites
to make sure there are no travel
alerts or warnings for that area.
Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease
are all factors that may render a
country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa-
tion website contains links to these
resources and more at csusm.
e du/global/travelresources.
When deciding what to bring
on your trip, keep in mind that
you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website
travel.safe.gov advises travelers
to "carry the minimum number
of valuables, and plan places to
conceal them. Your passport,
cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe.
When you have to carry them on
your person, you may wish to put
them each in a different place
rather than all in one wallet or
pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny
packs and outside pockets that
are easy targets for thieves. Inside
pockets and a sturdy shoulder
bag with the strap worn across
your chest are somewhat safer.
One of the safest places to carry
valuables is in a pouch or money
belt worn under your clothing."
Additionally, students should
educate themselves about the
laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According
to information on studentsabroad.
state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship
does not make you exempt from
full ^prosecution under another
country's criminal justice system,
and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries
impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered
minor in the United States, and
unlike in the U.S., you may be
considered guilty until proven
innocent. Ignorance of the law
is no excuse, so be informed."
Also be sure to secure proper
documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country.
Once you arrive, exercise street
smarts. You may be there to enjoy
the nightlife, beaches and throngs
of fun loving "spring breakers,"
but enter the scene with a level
head. Studentsabroad.state.gov
says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid
drugs and drug use, use only li-

censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and
be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your
safety. Make sure that you don't
go off alone and that someone
you trust always knows were you
are. Doing so may save your life.
These guidelines may help
students to make wise choices
and have fun while traveling,
but their execution depends on
you. Educate, control, and enjoy
yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing
experiences if done the right way.

Telling 'her story : CSUSM celebrates women's history month

For the past 100 years, women
have shaken the firmament with
the strength of their forwardmarching footsteps. From suffrage and birth control to political
offices and space shuttle missions,
the 20th century saw a surge of
change as women broke free
from oppression and challenged
tradition, leading generations
into a fight for gender equality.
The United States recognizes March as Women's History
Month, honoring the diversity
and achievements of the many
daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks
on the global timeline. Tuesday,
March 8 was the centennial celebration of International Women's Day, a day to reflect on the

SOFTBALL RIPS
THROUGH COUGAR
CLASH
Few teams of any kind at any
level have dominated a tournament the way Cal State San
Marcos softball dominated their
home tournament this weekend, the Cougar Clash. Playing
their first games on day two of
the tournament, the Cougars
shut out Emerson College 17-0
and the University of British
Columbia 9-0. On Saturday,
CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed
that with an identical 8-0 final
against Hope International. On
Sunday, the Cougars slipped by
UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over
#13 Dickenson State. To go
with the aggregate 48-1 score,
the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from
Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and
a two-hitter by Brittany Boone
followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day
two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday
against Dickenson. Sandberg
moves to 21-4 on the year.
Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have
consisted of 15 men's teams and
no women's teams. In 1972, a
federal law changed that possible
ratio, creating new opportunities
for women in sports. Title IX
of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in
institutions that receive federal
funds. That includes all grade
levels through college and all
programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the
resulting legal challenges created additional components to the
original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and
Senior Women's Administrator at
CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and
women in sports tremendously."
Milo stated there are currently
over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide.
The purpose of Title IX is to
provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common
presumption is that in order to
have equality between the sexes,
there should be an even 50/50
split. However, at many colleges,
women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student
population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men.
Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must
be "proportional," Milo said, by
considering campus population
and other demographic factors.
Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly
in her comprehensive manual,
Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works - In
Plain English. Bonnette previously worked for The Office for
MEN'S LACROSSE
TO HOST FIRST
GAME
CSUSM's newest club team,
men's lacrosse, will host its first
home game Saturday March 19
at 2 p.m. While the club has
already played several games,5
fans have three chances to see
the team play on campus. After this week's match against
Occidental College, fans can
watch games against CSU Long
Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and
versus Concordia University on
April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost
their last game in a nail-biter at
CSU Channel Islands, 14-13. .
CSUSM 6, La Sierra 1

explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women
and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an
equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for
providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require
institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering
a specific number of teams. It also
does not require the same number
of teams for men and women.
"For men or women, what
sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important,"
Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is
just "the right thing to do."

entity responsible for enforcing Title IX and now speaks at
seminars on the topic. Two important additions to Title IX are
the 1979 Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation and the
1996 "Three-Part Test," which
according to Bonnette's manual
are the major sources used for
specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of
Title IX regulations. Her manual
also describes the 1979 policy
as consisting of 13 components
separated into three categories of
compliance requirements, or the
"Three-Part Test." The three parts
are accommodation of interests
and abilities,financialassistance,
and benefits and opportunities.
Milo emphasized that for each
of the three parts, proportionality
is key, because Title IX requires
that institutions provide equal
treatment of participants in overall women's and overall men's
programs. As an example, Milo

Campfield expressed his love for
the event: "Just having the baton
in your hand, it's a good feeling,
knowing that everyone is counting on you. I like the pressure."
Campfield really likes the cama-
raderie and I-have-your-back attitude that comes from practicing
with the team. "It's easy to let
yourself down, but it's hard to let
your team down," he said, when
asked about the team aspect.
Campfield tends to feed
off the pressure that he
places upon himself.
This last week at Nationals, he placed an
impressive second in
the mile and third in
the half mile. In the
last 200 meters of
the mile race, Campfield propelled himself from 9th to 2nd.
"That's my favorite
part of the race, the
finish. It's what I run
the whole race for," he
said. Now that Nationals
has ended the indoor track
season, he looks forward
to the outdoor season because
more of his teammates compete.
. His goals for this outdoor season are to break four minutes in
the mile and figure out a way to
beat his nemesis, Silas Kisorio
of Oklahoma Christian, who has
beaten Campfield twice by less
than a second. He plans to prepare for the outdoor season by
putting in lots of miles and doing intensive interval workouts
that really push his limits. Mentally he likes to relax and not concentrate too much on the races.
He notices now after getting
back into running how much it
contributes to other aspects of his
life. He feels that running keeps
him more motivated, lively and
focused. He is even considering continuing to run after college. He plans to compete with
professionals at the USA Nationals and has the goal of possibly doing the Olympic trials
next year. Campfield also hopes
to remain active in running and
other sports in the future as well
as acquire a job in either professional sports or college athletics.
TOURNAMENT TIME IN TOWN
THE BEST P UCES TO WATCH MARCH MAOHESS
M ICHAEL R AWSON
SPORTS E DITOR
There are those who believe
the end of March deserves to be a
national holiday, while others just
enjoy the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat. Then there are
the ones who are in it for the food.
March Madness—otherwise
known as the college basketball's
championship tournament—provides sports fans with everything
they could possibly dream of. The
first two days of the tournament,
March 17-18, games are played
four at a time from 9 a.m. until 9
p.m. This year, San Diego State
received a #2 seed, their best ever,
and look for their first ever tournament win on Thursday. While
some friends may be hosting parties in their homes, how many
people do you know with four
televisions in one room? The Pride
comes through with the places
you need to be this time around.
As ja first bet, Oggi's Pizza
and Brewing Company used to
be North County's finest. Saturated with flat screen televisions
and serving up delicious pizza
and salads, Oggi's wasn't to be
topped. Since moving out of their
location in the Westfield North
County Fair in Escondido, however, Oggi's now offers only their
Encinitas and Del Mar restau-
rants to North County viewers.
Still, seven scattered locations
remain in San Diego County.
Meanwhile, back at Westfield's
off of Via Rancho Pkwy, Oggi's
former location has been replaced
by something even better. Bringing friends who can't even spell
basketball? Stop by North County
Tavern and Bowl, where finding
something for everybody to do
couldn't be easier. The four-sided
bar allows even patrons passingby to stop for a beer and a game
without ever entering the tavern.
The Westfield parking lot remains
a Mecca for suds and sports, too.
Stop by BJ's (one of five in San
Diego County) for their giant
screen that automatically rotates
between 1-4 games at any time.
Pubs and bars can offer
fine viewing options as well.
Churchill's English Pub on San
Marcos Blvd. features the county's best beer selection and fine
pub grub. The Stadium in Encinitas gets pricey, but it might
be worth making reservations
during March Madness to sit
at one of their booths equipped
with its own flat-screen. For the
downtown-bound, keep pubs like
Hooley's (see Happy Hour of the
Week) and bars like the Tilted
Kilt (by Petco Park) in mind for
a more city-minded experience.
�S AN D IEGO CELEBRATES T HE GREENEST DAY OF T HE Y EAR:
ST. PATRICK'S D AY
LEXI POLLARD
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
St. Patrick's Day, the green
holiday that falls on March 17,
did not originate in Ireland. According to history.com, the United States of America held the first
St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1762
when Irish soldiers serving in the
English army displayed pride in
Irish roots with traditional music
and marching. Historically celebrated in the U.S., Canada and
Australia, recent celebrations
have undergone a transformation
in Ireland. The traditional use of
St. Patrick's Day as a religious
occasion now exists as a parade
in Dublin that attracts millions of
viewers. While Ireland, New York
City and Boston host St. Patrick's
Day parade celebrations and citizens of Chicago dye the Chicago
River green, San Diego offers
a multitude of diverse events.
St. Patrick's Day in the
Gaslamp Quarter consists of
the Miller Light ShamROCK,
an event filled with the sounds
of Irish rock, beverages and Astro Turf replacing the traditional
glamorous red carpet with a
"green" carpet. The eccentrically green celebration, dubbed
the "biggest St. Patrick's Day
block party west of the Mississippi" by SignOnSanDiego.com,
attracts up to 20,000 people per
year. Located at Sixth Avenue
and Market Street, this event
caters to and only allows guests
21 and up. The age restriction
will ensure an abundance of
green beer throughout the night.
If ShamROCK does not appeal to celebratory taste, Hooley's
Irish Pub and Grill in La Mesa
hosts Hooleyfest on St. Patrick's
Day. Hooleyfest lasts from 4 p.m.
- midnight, and those who celebrate with full festive force have
the option of free saferideshome night, but if one desires a calmer

tainment and dancing into the reservations and green attire.
Although St. Patrick's Day
did not expectedly originate in
Ireland and society commercialized traditions, residents of
San Diego can experience the
lighthearted fun this holiday encourages. Most local and public
events permit only those of legal
drinking age, but those excluded
always have the option of spending St. Patrick's Day pinching
those who forgot to wear green
to commemorate the holiday.

Looking for a five star restaurant located in San Marcos,
want to know where you can get
a hot dog at 11 p.m. or plan to
spend Spring Break in a new city
and have no clue what or where
to eat? No need to worry. The
Yelp app comes to the rescue.
With Yelp, users can locate all
nearby dining locations, browse
by their proximity, neighborhood, food pricing and even by
what is open at that exact time.
The Yelp app also allows you
quick and easy access to a large
collection of customer reviews,
allowing you to avoid terrible
eateries. But the Yelp app is not
only user for restaurant finds.
It also helps users find nonfood related necessities, such as
banks, drugstores, bars, shops
and gas stations in your area.
Released Feb. 10, this app sits
proudly on Time Magazines "50
Best iPhone Apps of 2011" for its
large array of information, clear
listings and user friendliness. The
Yelp app has all of the basic ingredients of a GPS app, but goes
a step further by including a large
selection of outside information.
The most impressive feature of
this app is when you are looking at a restaurant and decide to
make a reservation at the said restaurant, your phone can directly
connect you with the push of a
button. The Yelp app is available
in English, Dutch, French and
German. Yelp is available for the
leading smart phones like BlackBerry, iPhone and iPod Touch,
Android, Palm Pre, Yelp Mobile
and Windows Phone 7. Recently, Yelp caused a stir amongst
food lovers as an iPad app due
to the large screen for viewing
dishes from different restaurants.
Whether on the go, traveling out of town or just yearning to learn more about what is
in your community, the versatile Yelp app is perfect for you.

HAPPY HOUR O F THE WEEK:
HOOLEY'S IRISH PUB A ND GRILL
M ICHAEL R AWSON
S PORTS E DITOR
Of all the Irish-style pubs
in San Diego County that do
their best to imitate authentic
Irish haunts, Hooley's Pub and
Grill comes closest. The allwood décor really helps create
the Irish ambiance. And it isn't
just the decoration that helps
you feel like you are in Ireland.
Hooley's offers a plethora of
traditional Irish dishes on their
menu like corned beef and cabbage and boxtys (a stuffed potato pancake topped with cheese),
but what really makes this place
special is their Guinness-infused
meals: Guinness onion soup,
Guinness BBQ beef, even Guin-
ness ice cream, not to mention
pints upon pints of the delicious
beer itself. They also have a
wide range of beer on tap, from
the Irish red Smithwicks, the unfiltered Blue Moon and the ailAmerican Coors Light. Feeling
especially festive? Try a Black
and Tan (a pint layered with
Bass then Guinness) or a Snake
Bite (half Guinness and half cider). Beer not your thing? The
bar pours over a dozen different
types of whisky. Hooley's offers
something for everyone to help
them get into the party mood.
On Mondays, Hooley's runs
an all-day happy hour, as well as
a nightly late night happy hour
with $1 off draught beers, wine
and spirits, $2 off appetizers and
$3 off all bottles of wine. But the
deals don't end there - stop in
for $2 taco Tuesday, $10 Boxtys
Wednesdays and all you can eat
fish ' n chips on Sundays. So there
is no bad day to stop in for a pint.
Hooley's seems to cover all
its bases in satisfying different
types of personalities and taste
buds. They also show all major
sports events, including soccer, and they offer live music even a free ride home on nights
with big gigs (within a five mile
radius, of course - they have
to draw the line somewhere).
This St. Patrick's Day, throw
on your greenest of garb or most
Irish of outfits and saunter down
to one of Hooley's two locations, Rancho San Diego (2955
Jamacha Rd.) and La Mesa
(5500 Grossmont Center Dr.).
