Board of
Trustees
approves
executive
pay raises
F aculty a nd s tudents
o utraged o ver
a pproved p roposal
BY BENROFFEE
Pride Staff Writer
After hearing Chancellor Reed's proposal,
the CSU Board of Trustees voted last Tuesday,
Sept. 18, to increase executive salaries for the
second time this year, this time by an average
of 11 percent. The approved pay raise will grant
CSU presidents and various other CSU executives pay raises retroactive to July 2007, meaning that CSU executives will receive compensation equal to their new salary for the months
since July on top of their immediate raises.
This decision comes in spite of protest from
California Faculty Association, government
officials, and CSU students, whose primary
concern is with the timing of these raises as the
CSU budget is in upheaval, With these new
rounds of raises for executives coinciding with
a thinning budget and a 10 percent student fee
hike, the unpopularity of this decision seems to
have rekindled the tension between CSU executives and the rest of the faculty and students.
CFA president Lillian Taiz, speaking on behalf
of the CFA, criticized the proposal and the CSU
Board of Trustees' decision at in her address to
the Board at Tuesday's meeting. "Your actions
today make it very clear that executive salaries
are the only issues this board seems determined
to address. We wish you would find the same
level of determination when dealing with skyrocketing fees and overcrowded classrooms that
you do when providing executives raise."
Lt. Governor John Garamendi, a member of
the Board by merit o fhis office, expressed concern over the proposed salary increases. "This
is clearly tied to a student fee increase. I cannot
think of a worse way to convey yourselves to
the legislature when you are going to have ask
for more money in the budget process in the
coming months."
Garemendi also requested that the board put
off the proposed salary increases until the next
Board of Trustees meeting pending passage of
AB 1430 and SB 190 as law from the Governor's office. These pieces of legislation would
increase the transparency of executive salary
discussions and limit the amount of money
executives can make for their work.
In a conference call with reporters last Thursday, Sept. 20, Chancellor Reed stated that "one
of the things that we're going to do.. .is set that
up to allow the Governor and the Legislature to
'buy out' that fee increase."

raising doubts as to whether or
not they will cover the student

the executive salary increases
in his conference call, claiming,

Board of Trustees, the Chancellor justified the executive salary
increases based on data collected
by a private f irm that suggests
CSU executive salaries lag by 46
percent. Despite discrepancies
in the reliability and accuracy
of this data, the Chancellor will
continue to work to close this
purported salary gap, aiming to
close it completely by 2010.
Since the California Postsecondary Commission halted its
executive salary studies based on
inadequate data on CSU executive benefits, Chancellor Reed
commissioned Mercer Human
Resource Consultation to conduct comparative salary studies.
BJJ, both in self-defense techniques
and in ground submissions. At the
start of the class, students warm
up with simple partner exercises.
From there, students learn positional control techniques, as well
as various joint locks and chokes
from these positions. Unlike some
other martial arts, students can
practice most BJJ techniques at
full speed against a resisting partner, which has the advantage of
giving students a much more realistic learning experience. After a
fair share of practice, students get
the chance to try their newly mastered moves on each other in brief
sparring matches at the end of the
class.
Sophomore, Alex Wang, f requently attends the course and
explains that he decided to t ry it
out because "I had f ree time and
had an interest in martial arts."
When asked what he enjoyed
most about the class, Alex stated
that "learning to defend yourself
When asked why his office chose
t o commission the Mercer group
instead of supply the necessary
data to CPEC, the Chancellor
stated that "the Mercer Group is
a nationally respected organization." Chancellor Reed went on
to explain that the Mercer study
only does a "cash compensation
analysis because it is very d ifficult to get Universities...to disclose all of their benefits." The
limited scope of this study does
raise important questions about
the effectiveness of this study as
a basis for executive compensation decisions like the one made
at Tuesday's meeting.
With the growing awareness of
the CSU faculty, s taff, and students, it is clear that f uture executive raises will not pass without
rigid scrutiny. In an e ffort headed
by the California State Student
Association t o involve the public
in the Board's decisions, students
will soon be able to apply to
become one of two Student Trustees to the CSU Board of Trustees.
Between new legislative regulations, budget crisis, new representation on the Board, and
an unrelenting body of staff
and students, the authority of
the CSU Board of Trustees to
approve executive compensation
increases in the f uture has some
new obstacles to overcome.

Chargers lose second
straight to undefeated
Green Bay Packers
BY TIM MOORE
Pride Staff Writer
Coming off of a disappointing loss
in New England last week, the Chargers stepped into the historic Lambeau
Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin looking
to capitalize on a Packers team that,
despite holding an undefeated record,
still had something to prove.
The Packers proved their point
against the Bolts in a dramatic fashion, winning on a last-minute touchdown by NFL great, Brett Favre.
Favre entered the game just three
away from tying Dan Marino's
record of 420 career touchdowns.
The Chargers attacked first when
quarterback, Philip Rivers passed
to tight end, Vincent Jackson for 27
yards and the touchdown, to take
the 7-0 lead.
Packers quarterback, Brett Favre
heated up early in the second quarter, passing to wide receiver, Donald
Driver for a short touchdown with
11:53 on the clock.
Later in the quarter, Favre hooked
up with tight end, Bubba Franks
for another short touchdown pass,
making Favre just one touchdown
pass away from tying the all-time
record.
The Chargers tightened things up
in the final minutes of the quarter
when Rivers connected with wide
receiver, Buster Davis for a 9 yard
touchdown, bringing the Packers
lead to only three at the half.
LaDainian Tomlinson returned
tQ the limelight in the third quarter, taking the lead with a 21 yard
touchdown reception, maneuvering
in typical LT fashion en route to the
end zone.
The Packers fought back with
two minutes l eft in the game, as
Brett Favre passed for his r ecoritying 420th career t ouchdown,'
connecting with wide receiver,
Greg Jennings for 57 yards and
the lead.
The Packers capitalized on a
Philip Rivers interception, taking
on some insurance with a Brandon
Jackson rushing touchdown, pushing the score to 31-21.
Nate Kaeding kicked a 44-yard
field goal on the Chargers final
drive in hopes to set up an onside
kick comeback, but it wasn't enough
to hold off Green Bay, who issued
the Chargers their second straight
loss by a score of 31-24.
The Packers improved to 3-0,
their best start since 2001.
The Chargers record is now 1-2,
as they head home to take on the 12 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at
1:15p.m. on CBS.

Google is taking over the world.
From its modest beginnings in the fall
of 1998 in Menlo Park, California, Google
has had a mission: " to organize the world's
information and make it universally accessible and useful." Flash forward nine
years, and Google is the most used search
engine on the web, with more than half of
the world's web-search market share.
There is no doubt Google reigns supreme
on the web, and with publicly traded stock
hovering around the 550.00 mark, Google
is clearly a monetary staple as well.
One of the perks of bringing in roughly
$10.6 billion a year is the ability to innovate with advancements that just might
characterize the future of the web.
Google re-invented email in 2004, with
the release of the highly touted, Gmail

iPhone delivers iDeal feature;
Apple once again awes consumers with t he^utting edge
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Apple has one upped the technology
industry once again. While still reveling
in the success of the iPod, their new product the iPhone, keeps the company competitive in a lucrative, ultra fast growing
and ever changing industry. The company
began directly selling the iPhone June
29. iPhone seekers can also purchase the
phone through AT&T.
Apple's main offices
are located in Cupertino, California. The
company's last fiscal
year grossed a whopping 19.3 billion dollars. The company
incorporated in 1977 as
Apple Computers. In
January of this year, the
company dropped the
word "Computer" from
their flame and simply
became Apple Inc.
The iPhone combines
multiple uses in one unit. The cellular
phone allows users to snap pictures, listen
to music, send and receive both e-mails and
visual voicemails. The phone also enables
users to browse the internet. Unlike most
cellular phones, the phone uses a virtual
touch screen.
Currently, the 8-Gigabyte iPhone sells
for almost $400 dollars. The initial 8 GB
iPhone dinged consumers $600 dollars,
although it did not discourage scores of
eager consumers from waiting in long
lines. As a reward to it loyal buyers, the
company credited $100 those who bought
it for its original price. The company
dropped the 4 GB version earlier this
month. AT&T will continue to exclusively
sell the phone until 2009 or later. AT&T
offers the phone to customers with a minimum two-year contract. During September and following months, the phone ships
out to foreign countries
such as Germany and
France.
As in any industry,
the iPhone faces fierce
competition.

can tribal music was a f un day but
still... 3 YCBS's.
PSYC 348: I thought that the
'dev.' in "Dev. Psych: Adolescence" stood for 'deviant'. A fter
two weeks of wondering when we
would get to the good s tuff, I realized it stands for 'developmental'.
Disappointment of my semester.
But...the teacher is out of control.
She has wild hand gestures. She
genuinely thanks people for sharing personal stories. I can't help
but like her. She's the aunt your
parents were always afraid would
make you hyper before bed. .5
YCBS, and a firm j esson about
reading class descriptions.
Now, these are just two examples,
so that you too will be able to rate
your classes using the Toria YCBS's
Judgment Scale. You should also
take into account how comfortable
your desk is in the class or if your
astronomy professor says things
like, "Pluto goes at an angle all in
and out crazy which is why it got
kicked out of the solar system."*
Man, I love that guy. Anyway...
obviously, these rankings will give
power to the people and we can
topple some crap professors. Yeah.
Right. Now all we need is a Facebook group to make the revolution
official.
*actual quote

Pride Staff Writer
Ten out of ten college students
(I actually just asked two guys in
an elevator and multiplied by five)
agree that college would be perfect
if it weren't for classes. They put a
damper on all the drinking binges
and wild orgies my grandmother
fears. So, let's discuss.
There are different types of classes
involved in ruining the university
experience, which I divide by f rustration level. I like to evaluate them
from one to three "You Can't Be
Serious's." Let's go through two of
my classes and grade them, so then
you can do it to yours.
MUSC 120: After three years
of college, being forced to take an
intro class angered me. I may or
may not have turned bright green
and ripped my clothes yelling,
"TORIA ANGRY." On the first
day, my professor, who reminds me
of a kindly muppet, informs us that
there won't be a midterm or final.
I suddenly fear he's going to make
us all hold hands and Kumbayah it
up. In addition, I'm sure there are
plenty of good people in the class,
but I sat next to the one drawing the
naked woman with cartoon breasts.
Schmuck. The professor having
us all participate in making A fri-
The
National
Hockey
League is about to begin.
My preseason prediction of
last year is correct- Anaheim
Ducks are looking to defend
their cup. But that was last
year and this is this year.
For a larger variety of predictions I am going to tell you
all about both Tim Moore's
and mine, followed* by my
results of simulating 25 seasons on NHL 08.
The first thing I am going
to talk about is the President
Trophy, which goes to the team
with the most points at the end
of the regular season. I believe
that the Detroit Red Wings are
going to walk into the post
season with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs
because they are in the weakest division in hockey. They
get to face a deflated Nashville
Predators, St. Louis Blues,
Chicago Blackhawks and
Columbus Blue Jackets. Tim
Moore lias both the Buffalo
Sabres and Anaheim Ducks
on top of their conferences
while NHL 08 had the Sabres
win the trophy ten times.
The Hart Trophy goes to the
leagues MVP, which I feel is
going to go to the same guy
who won it last year, Sidney
Crosby. The 20 year old Crosby
put the Pittsburgh Penguins on
his shoulders and carried them
into the playoffs and will be
doing it again. Moore believes
that Tampa Bay Lightening's
Vincent Lecavalier will be the
leagues MVP, while NHL 08
had Atlanta Thrashers Ilya
Kovalchuk winning it eight
times.
The Art Ross Trophy goes
to the player with the most
points at the end of the season.
Moore and I are on the same
page with this, believing
that Crosby is going to runaway with the award. I feel
that Crosby is going to hit
the 125 mark this year with
Evgeni Malkin playing on
the same line with him. NHL
08 believes that Kovalchuk is
going to win this award with
103 points.
The Vezina goes to the
top goaltender and I feel that
Roberto Luongo will take
this award over the NHL 08's
choice of Martin Brodeur.
Brodeur lost some talented
players in front of him and
will need to carry the New
Jersey Devils in order for them
to have a good season. Moore
says that the award will be
going to Dominik Hasek who
is coming back after a great
year in Detroit.
But the big predictions come
for the playoffs. I believe that
the Ducks are going to be a
much stronger team come playoff time once, yes I said once
because they are coming back,
Teemu Selanne.and Scott Niedermayer come back. They will
be winning the Stanley Cup
over the Philadelphia Flyers in
4 games. The Flyers will have
room to add Peter Forsberg or
some other veteran talent at
the trade deadline and make a
strong run in the playoffs.
Moore has the Penguins
winning the cup over the Red
Wings, while NHL 08 has
the Sabres winning the cup
over the San Jose Sharks in 5
games.

Old Viscosity Ale Jiallapxeinios
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Port Brewing brews Old Viscosity Ale in San
Marcos, California. Cougars are fortunate to
be associated with such a fine microbrewery.
The brewery began in 1992 when Yince and
Gina Marsaglia began brewing in their home.
In 1993 the couple began brewing on a seven
barrel system in Solana Beach. Eventually, the
brewery expanded their operations to Carlsbad
and San Clemente. In early 2006, the brewery
purchased Stone Brewing's old facility, another
local brewery in San Marcos, and increased
their production for distribution purposes.
Currently, the brewery can produce up to 5*000
barrels. They also have an oak barrel room for aged
specialty beers such as Old Viscosity Ale. The
ale's nickname, "The Big Black Nasty", sums up
the distinct characteristics. The dark brown tinted
22-ounce glass bottle contains a blue and faint gray
colored label. The label contains a picture of an
antique truck being serviced by a faceless man. A
shiny silvery cap bottles the ale with an alcohol
by volume of 10 percent, twice the amount of an
average beer. The strong ABV should be taken
into consideration during consumption, i.e., sitting down on a chair, maybe even in a padded
room.
The ale has a powerful and distinguishing fragrance. The brain struggles to categorize the
aroma with any learned scents in the brain's database. It almost has a sour berry smell. The beer
pours with a solid two inch thick head. The ale
appears to have a blood red brownish hue as the
contents are emptied from the bottle to a glass.
Before the ale even reaches the lips, the tongue
cringes in disbelief. The ale assaults the taste buds
and then infiltrates the tongue with intense flavor.
The ale contains hints of chocolate and vanilla. The
thick ale leaves a notable prickling sensation on the
tongue. The strong ABV warms the throat as the
ale passes through the mouth and into the stomach. Beer connoisseurs should
enjoy
the
beer. Inexperienced beer
consumers
are forewarned. -Regardless of beer
knowledge, Old Viscosity
ensures a
wild and thrilling ride.

A source of heated regional
debate in San Diego, the matter
of the best Mexican food place
is as divisive as it is controversial. Everybody wants to believe
they know where to find the best
California Burrito, but like other
touchy issues, not much room for
compromise exists.
Located off of Carmel Mountain Road in Rancho Bernardo,
Jalapenos deserves nothing
less than eternal praise as the
"Mecca" of the California Burrito. Although the journey to
Rancho Bernardo is long and
arduous, this pilgrimage is an
absolute necessity for any true
California Burrito connoisseur.
While most San Diegans are
biologically equipped to handle
Mexican food with little discomfort, the average eater, native
or foreign, faces life-threatening challenges when eating at
the run-of-the-mill taco shop.
Fortunately for the maladapted,
Jalapenos cooks their food with
vegetable oil instead of lard,
allowing the stomach to greet the
California Burrito with peaceful
adoration.
The Burrito (yes, it needs to be
capitalized) itself represents the
pinnacle of Burrito craftsmanship. Off the menu, the Jalapeflos California Burrito includes
your standard carne asada, fries,
cheese, and guacamole, but I suggest holding the guacamole as it
does tend to overwhelm the other
vital flavors in the burrito here.
From the excellent array of
salsas you may want to go with
the simple red hot sauce. Unlike
the harsh and unforgiving hot
sauce of most other taco shops,
Jalapenos provides their customer
with a smooth and balanced blend
of flavor and spice that complements a California Burrito unlike
any other salsa to date.
When ready, the composed
and neat exterior of the burrito
deceives the eager customer,
who at this point is completely
unaware of the chaotic splendor
within. The first bite breaches
the calm exterior and unleashes
torrents of incredible flavors. In
a daze, the remainder of the burrito quickly disappears, the final
bite as glorious as the first.
In such a volatile and competitive field, the search for the best
Cali Burrito is unending. The
California Burrito at Jalapenos
may not be the best; I just haven't
found a better one yet.
H ALO 3: THE ONE RING
T O RULE THEM A LL
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
It has many names to it - the killer-app,
the epic saga, or the best 15 seconds in
video gaming. It only takes one word for
people to weigh in exactly what the title
means - amazing.
The third and final installment of the
gaming saga that is Halo for the Xbox 360
hit shelves at midnight at various retailers
across the nation. Many people lined up
outside Gamestops and EB Games as early
as 9 o'clock to be among the first to get
their copies.
"Halo 3 is much more than a video
game release—it's the biggest entertainment event of the year," said Peter Moore,
the former vice president for Microsoft
gaming and interactive division.
As part of the promotion for the game,
Pontiac and Microsoft teamed up to give
gamers a chance to play the game in
San Francisco and New York on IMAX
screens earlier this month. Participants
received copies of the game prior to its
launch date.
The story of Halo centers around
Master Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN117, or Master Chief for short, and the
war between the United Nations Space
Command and an alien army called the
Covenant. In the climax of the previous installment, Master Chief has stowed
away aboard a Covenant vessel that is
headed for earth, which sets up the final
chapter.
Halo is this generation's touchstone for
pop culture in the same way that Star Wars
and Lord of the Rings has for earlier generations.
Earlier this past summer, a few gamers
were treated to an online beta test to give
a glimpse of what people will be in store
for - Mongoose ATVs, new multi-player
maps, and character remodels.
Some of the other new additions
included will be bigger, badder weapons,
bubble shields, 8 new vehicles, an equipment Forge system, 4-player co-op campaigns, new levels, and a high-definition
1080p output to name a few.
In 2004, the launch of Halo 2 sold over
two million copies on its first 24 hours
generating roughly $125 million in revenue. Pundits have expected that number to
rise to over $200 million due to the three
editions that were made available to consumers ranging anywhere from $59.99 to
$129.99.

Pitting tla "OH SX6# YEAH" in
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
I knew things were going to go well
when an adorable little usher said,
"Please DO NOT ask us to turn down
the sound, because we CAN NOT. This
is IMAX." Well, alright then.
I lost faith in the first 30 seconds, with
a smarmy premise that actually includes
a deep male voice saying, "But we were
already too late." You expect him to say,
"DOT DOT DOT," just in case the audience didn't get the suspense.
But then something amazing happened. Asteroid-type objects started
hurtling across the screen and the theater started shaking from the sound.
Within three minutes, it blew my mind.
I'll give you an overview of the movie
and then we can talk significantly more
about IMAX, which was the important
part. The kid from Even Stevens on the
Disney Channel is all grown up, gets his
first car, and then finds himself embroiled
in a robotic civil war from outer space
which has finally spread to Earth. It
involves a chase with a police car and a
Camero, which I never thought I would
see outside of the 1980s, and lines like,
"It's you and me, Megatron." There's also a
totally unrealistic hot blonde systems analyst. Every 15 year old boy in the audience
was like, "HEY! She's wearing a mesh
shirt!" I found myself at several points
humming, "Hiiiiighway to the DANGER
ZONE" since that was just about the only
thing missing from the cheesy writing and
crap soundtrack.
But man, I would see it a second time and
maybe even a third time just for the special effect^. I thought everyone was joking
about the beauty of IMAX, but there were
Fall TV line-up
honestly moments that I
felt like I was running for
my life with the characters orflying
in the Air Forcé. Tlfo pomt of view
flying scenes were unbelievable, and the
part at the beginning with the base and
the.. .well, you'll know what I'm talking
about when you see it.
Suffice to say, the movie won't be
winning any Academy Awards, but
that's not the film's purpose. It can
be summed up best in the words
of the friend who accompanied
me, "Dude, that was amazing. But if I had written it, I would have just
had them credit me as
'Anonymous.'"

If you're a college student, fall is about one thing: the fall semester. Life f or the next few months takes a sideline to homework, essays, classes and reading» Between your busy
schedule, it would be nice to see a few good shows here and there, right? If you're like us, getting into a new show is a commitment for an entire season, maybe even a whole series.
To save you from wasting your time on a show that gets canceled midseason or you get tired of, we've taken the liberty of assigning a guide for the average student.
ÜH

# # ##
9 P.M. - Heroes
Mondays are never fun, but the
show that makes them a bit more
enjoyable is back. The second
season began Monday, but one
episode shouldn't set you back
too far, considering the network
promises a whole new adventure.
The show is a modern take on the
Marvel comics of yesterday and
the cast is hot.
9 P.M. • Scrubs
We were going to recommend
The Office but I wanted to give
Scrubs a shout out as well.
Then I thought, why not both.
The Office starts at 9 pm and
Scrubs immediately follows
I
#
10 P.M. - Journeyman
And a new one from NBC right
afterwards, if you don't want to
touch the remote after Heroes. A
little bit mystery, little sci-fi, half a
tablespoon of romance, and you
have a show about a journalist
who keeps getting sucked into the
past and changing the things he
finds there. But why?!? Hopefully,
it doesn't get canceled before we
find out.
at 9:30 prir both shows are
hilarious, consist of a relatively
young cast and don't consist of
a hard to follow plot line, which
is always good if you can't
commit to every episode, every
week.
Images courtesy ofNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox networks.
9 P.M. - House
It's Tuesday. You're already
asking if it's Friday and you
find yourself more and more
sarcastic. This returning hit
series is just what the doctor
ordered. It's dry. It's edge. It's
completely different than any
of the other doctor dramas on
primetime. In addition, new cast
members left and right should
keep even followers of the show
on their toes.
9 P.M.
Moonlight
This has the potential to be a
disaster. Hot guy is a vampire
and a private investigator (Angel,
anyone?). We think it probably
has a 50/50 chance of getting
canceled, but...what if it turns out
to be really good?
10 P.M.-Cane
After your homework break
between 9 and 10, return to
the screen for a family drama
with more than a few twists.
The Duque family runs a rum
and sugar business and fights
against outsiders and each other
to keep it solvent. Featuring
Hector Elizondo, Rita Moreno
and Jimmy Smits - the show
should be incredible.
Women's Murder Club
We should put both these shows
in those inflatable sumo suits
and make them wrestle. Unlike
Moonlight, this show has some
tried and true TV actresses, well,
solving murders. It's also based
on a best selling book series.
Unless the.network hires dry
witless writers, we think this one
could be around a while.
8 P.M. - Pushing Daisies
Three days into the week. You're
procrastinating. You come
across a show you've never
heard of, Pushing Daisies. Set to
begin October 3rd, it's one of the
critically acclaimed shows of the
season. It's about a guy who can
bring back the dead momentarily
with the touch of his hand. It
sounds interesting enough to
give it a chance.
9 P.M.
Desperate Housewives
Sunday night is a saving grace to
anybody who enjoys the drama f
of Wisteria Lane. If you haven't '
watched an episode of Desperate
Housewives yet, it isn't too late
to get started. The show is full
of scandal, sex, mystery and
satirical humor. Girls love it and
9P.M.
With Bionic Woman, another
critic's darling, and Private
Practice, the offshoot in what will
soon become a Grey's Anatomy
empire, you're going to have to
pick for yourself.
10 P.M.-Dirty Sexy Money
The name alone should draw
you in. But in addition, it's got an
awesome cast, and a bunch of
rich people trying to get away
with doing whatever they want
and failing at it.
so do guys; Trust us. We know a
few who've been brave enough to
give it a siftt.
While this is by no means a
complete list, and you may
choose to follow your own crazy
desire, we here at the Pride
have given you a TV jumpingoff point. Now go watch,
grasshopper.
