Members of the student
body and various student
organizations are uniting to
advocate for the creation of a
Raza Center on campus.
Translating from Spanish

Raza Center would function
as a means of providing support to Latino students and
cultural education to the student body as a whole. Primary goals including creating

Lucas Dunn memorial scholarship to send students abroad
B Y AMANDA LENOX
FEATURES EDITOR
Dr. Veronica Anover and
the French Club try to keep
one student's memoiy alive
through the Lucas Dunn Memorial Scholarship after he
died from a rock-climbing
accident.
Lucas Dunn was a CSUSM
student who tragically passed
away on May 17, 2013, before he was going to leave
to study abroad in Aix-enProvence, France in the fall.
Dunn's life was cut short
while he was rock-climbing; a rock went loose and
hit him. Although he wore a
helmet and harness, it ended

his life.
Dunn was one of Professor
Anover's French students in
her French 201 class in Fall
2011.
"Lucas sat in the back of
the class with a permanent
smile on his face. The first
time he spoke (in French!),
I was surprised by his deep
voice coming from a very
young face. And his French
was beautiful," Anover said.
Professor Anover felt
Dunn would be the perfect
candidate to study abroad in
France.
"I always mention to my
students the importance of
studying abroad and how it
is a life changing experience.
I give my students full support and help them prepare
their trip abroad along with
my wonderful colleagues in
Global Education," she said.
Because Dunn was unable
to make it to France, Anover.
decided to create a memorial scholarship to help fund
students to go to France and
study abroad. With the permission of Lucas' parents,
Kathy and A1 Dunn, Professor Anover was able to begin
raising money for the memorial scholarship.
To create an endowment
with Cal State San Marcos,
Anover and the French Club
must raise $25,000.
"An endowment is permanent. Cal State San Marcos
will give a percentage of the
funds ($25,000 is the minimum) for life. Lucas will
be "immortalized" for life.
A small consolation that will
never replace Lucas, but such
a big help for the students
who need financial support
to go abroad," she said.
Currently, they have raised
$10,000 and hope to reach
their goal by 2015. They are
currently organizing events
for next year to help in their
fundraising. In the Fall, the
French Club will hold a "garage8 sale" on campus and in
the Spring, Professor Anover
hopes to have a 5K run/walk.
To make a donation for the
scholarship you can go to

Celebrating the new USU
Feeling the beat in the heart of campus
B Y MIGUEL MAGANA
STAFF WRITER
The University Student
Union kicked off its Grand
Opening with cheers and
glee from all aspects of the
San Marcos community.
The grand opening is being called "The Beat: See it!
Hear it! Feel it!" because of
it's "heartbeat" function to
the campus. The union has
brought together students,
clubs and other organizations to create more sense of
a community. Students have
expressed the USU gives
more of a college feeling to
the campus.
"The USU is a great spot
for commuters on campus to
hang out between classes and
get some lunch or snacks! I
love going in the USU because it's really nice and
comfortable," commuter, &
student, Savanah McPhillips
said.
Sigma Chi member Jared Johnson said that despite
the food prices, the USU is
the focal point of the campus and makes Cal State San
Marcos feel more like a university. "I went to the Frozen
movie and felt like everyone
enjoyed it," he said.

Grand Opening Festivities.
"Since I had never seen
Frozen, it was really cool
to be able to go to the USU
with not only fellow classmates but with members of
the community.
It was a definitely a success," women's golfer, Casanadra Stevenson said, with
over 300 people showing up
to attend the film.
Initially, USUAB had anticipated 100 attendants for
the event. The amphitheater
was nearly as filled for the
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony where student athletics,
Greek life, student organizations, faculty, staff, alumni and community members
gathered in anticipation.
The USU has enjoyed tre-
mendous success thus far
with their grand opening
events. These have included Commuter Appreciation
Day, where students that
drive to school were given food as they explored
the new USU Commuter
Lounge. Another was the
Art fUSUion event, where
a local artist led an art class
which kicked off this new
program on campus. There
also was USU Unplugged,
which will also become a series, where students played
acoustic songs.

Parking prices weigh on student body
Students held responsible for parking structure expense
B Y A NNE H ALL
DESIGN EDITOR
Students, faculty and staff
alike are frustrated as parking prices continually add
to the financial burden of attending CSUSM.
Since the completion of the
487,000 square foot parking
structure in July 2010, Parking and Commuters Services
has been trying to make up
for the $27 million expense
of erecting the additional
1,605 parking spaces that
were made available by the
six floors of parking that exist on the north end of campus.
Decisions to create the
parking structure were finalized by the administration to
accommodate the projected
growth of student attendance
since 2002. Parking fee plans
held what was called a parking service open f orum to
inform campus community
of the population growth.
Students had addressed their
disapproval of the development plans, according to Alexander Hoang, former ASI
President.
The students' disapproval was measured against
the issue of the progressive
growth, with the vote to
move forward with these
plans siding with the university.
These plans for projected
fees resulted in a decision to
establish parking fee increases as of January 2003, Fall
2006 and Fall 2009 for students and other permit holders for the sake of providing
additional parking over time.
Along with these plans
came an expense projection
to open a second parking
structure between 2015 and
2016 to add an additional
1,200 parking spaces "without future drastic fee increases," according to the Parking
Fee Plan (3 Tier), which can
be found at www.csusm.
edu/parking/parkingfeeplanthreetier.html.
There are now 10 lots on
campus for parking on this

CSUSM's sports marketing

his doctorate in marketing
from the University of

Between the many sports

within this realm.

The positive thing is that
numerous companies are

ket in regards to advertising

"A more creative way to

After
transferring
to
CSUSM three years ago,
Ross Edmunds made the
unique transition from art
major to Kinesiology, which
has resulted in a wealth of
success.
It was Dr. Todd Astorino's
influence that sparked Edmunds' accelerating interest
in thé fitness and Kinesiology fields. In Astorino's
KINES 326 Intro to Exercise
Physiology course, Edmunds
worked as a teaching assistant to instruct students with
machines and as a research
assistant for a study that is
currently undergoing review.
He ended up continuing as a
research assistant for three
years and became a teaching
assistant for Dr. Sean Newcomer for two years.
"Dr. A has pushed me to
grow. He throws me outside
my comfort zone and has
kept pushing me to get more
passionate about the program
and everything we can do at
CSUSM and with the body,"
Edmunds said. "Dr. Newcomer has influenced me to
be in the best aerobic shape
of my life. He has made it
one of the highlights of my

For the remainder of the
month of April, CSUSM's
Pride Center will once again
host Gaypril, its annual
month-long celebration of
LGBTQ culture and awareness. The celebration features events, lectures, film
showings and gatherings
throughout the month, bringing together the school's
LGBTQ community in unity with its allies on campus.
This all, of course, leads up
to the famed Pride Walk parade on May 1.
Gaypril is split into four
different weeks, with each
week focusing on a different
subculture in LGBTQ. With
the first and second weeks
focusing mainly on gay and
lesbian subcultures (respectively), the upcoming weeks
in the month will focus on
some of the more marginalized and less culturally prevalent LGBTQ groups. This
includes third week events
concerning Bisexual and
Queer issues and a fourth
week dedicated to transgender issues.
During the third week,
the center plans on hosting
events to raise awareness of
problems faced by those in
the bisexual community; including marginalization by
both straight and gay cultures that do not understand
them, the problems associated with actively avoiding
a label to one's lifestyle and
the increasing stigma of HIV.
The fourth week, which focuses on transgender issues,
includes the screening of

After accompanying Police
Officer David Angulo on a
three hour policeride-alongI
learned why CSUSM is recognized as one of the safest
campuses in'the state of California. .
It was 8 p.m. on a Friday
night. I was eager and wideeyed listening intently to the
officer as he gave me a tour
of the facility. He led me
through narrow hallways,
scanning his badge to gain
access to locked doors .
"The campus police office
is equivalent to a full blown
police department," Officer
Angulo said.
The CSUSM campus police facility is equipped with
two holding cells and one
padded cell. There's also
the evidence locker where
officers are trained on how
to book weapons, drugs and
other illegal items in possession. Hie officer then led me
inside an interrogation room
with a two-way mirror. There
were also cubicles, conference rooms, lockers and
even a little gym in the back
of the facility.

The officer's job is to patrol on campus and outside

"Only White people can

either of these statements before and not used ironically?
I certainly have not, until I attended a lecture at
our campus Gender Equity

that racism and sexism
were simply defined as the
discriminations based on
race and sex respectively.

Teeth whitening naturally vs. over the counter
B Y LAUREN HAMMOND
O PINION E DITOR
Americans seem to be obsessed with dental hygiene,
particularly teeth whitening
treatments that help keep
smiles looking flawless.
However, many people
do not understand the severe side effects associated
to whitening treatments. In
2009, the Journal of Dentistry published a study stating
the harmful effects of tooth
whitening.
Over the counter treatments often have painful
effects on the gums. Over
whitening can cause the gum
line to recede, bleed and become inflamed. Excessive
whitening can also lead to
sensitive teeth and enamel
depletion. Enamel depletion
is the most harmful side effect, as it may lead to severe
internal tooth decay.
There are several holistic
remedies for tooth whitening. The benefits from using
natural products are that they
are more affordable and have
little to no side effects.
Coconut oil pulling is one
of the most effective natural remedies for whitening
teeth. When using this remedy, take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish in your
mouth for 10 to 15 minutes.
Push the oil through the
teeth when swishing. Brushing with baking soda has an
amazing whitening effect,
but when brushing with it be
sure to only use this solution
once a week. Baking soda
can cause minor irritation to
the gums if used excessively. Swishing daily with food
grade hydrogen peroxide is
another affordable and effective remedy.
Ultimately, when it comes
to tooth care it is best to use
remedies that are naturopathic and that will not cause
one's oral health to be compromised. The holistic remedies as mentioned above
are especially convenient
for college students who
are looking to save money
any way they can. Instead
of spending your money on
teeth whitening items that
can cause harm to teeth, I
advise to spend a lot less on
a more effective, safer and
simpler natural product.

For myself and many others, science fiction tells more
than mere stories. Science
fiction imagines our future
world.
It imagines a future where
humanity seeks life in the
stars, fascinated by and celebrating our differences
rather than shunning them.
This genre calls up a sense of
wonder for technology and
exploration that we might not
revel in today but could well
tomorrow. Science fiction is
the human testament to our
ability to hope. But there is a
darker side to this genre. As
desirable as it is to envision
a shining future, science fiction easily provides accurate
social commentary on the
nature of man. At times we
must b e forced to confront
the fact that the more things
change, the more things stay
the same.
Orson Scott Card creates
an air of shivering realism in
his novels. The most famous
of w hich,inder's Game, has
long been considered one of
the most renowned works of
science fiction for the past 30
years.
However, it is the sequel
to this novel that deserves
the brunt of the accolades.
Speaker for the Dead takes
place 3000 years after
Ender's Game, and the titular character, Ender Wiggin, seeks redemption for
the genocide he committed
during the war. Space travel
has allowed Ender to freeze
his body in stasis, letting
Ender search the universe.
His journey leads him to a
Portuguese colony on the
planet Lusitania, where new
alien life has been discovered.
Pig-like in appearance yet
communicative, there may
be hope for humanity to redeem itself with this new
alien race. But fear of the
unknown and the colony's
firm hold on Catholic ideals threaten to damage their
relationship. Ender must intervene before humankind
makes the same mistake,
destroying Lusitania in the
process.
Speaker for the Dead is a
gorgeous novel. It addresses
issues that humans face today while teaching tolerance
and accepting the different.
There is no science fiction
novel more worth the read
and I highly recommend it to
all. This novel has won two
prestigious science fiction
awards, the Nebula Award
and the Hugo award, since
its publication.

I have to unfortunately

in both as mystical beings

Returning Golden Boy - Captain America 2
B Y L EXY PEREZ
STAFF WRITER
Every year, we find ourselves listening to Tony
Stark's witty comments as he
puts on that iron suit, admire
Thor's ability to be a masculine "Goldie Locks," root for
Peter Parker as he is trapped
in a "web" and watch the
Hulk turn into a big, green
guy, who clearly needs some
anger management classes.
Out of all the superheroes,
Captain America is the only
one that seems to be the
epitome of what we aspire
to be and hold principles
that we should abide by: to
be true to who you are and
stand for what , you believe
in. In this year's first superhero return to the big screen,
"Captain America 2: The
Winter Soldier" delivers everything that every Marvel
Fan would hope: Visual effects, gut-wrenching action
sequences and familiar faces
such as the characters Black
Widow and Nick Fury.
The film, reintroduced Steven Rogers (Chris Evans) as
the once scraggy soldier who
transformed into a "macho
man" with super strength,
speed, abs of steel and, not
to mention, glowing skin
and pearly white teeth that
makes-you wonder whether
he is a long lost relative of
Edward Cullen, Mr. Clean
and Barbie Ken. Dedicated
to stopping Hydra's evil plan
to control humanity, with assistance from Black Widow
(Scarlett Johansson) and his
new friend Falcon (Anthony
Mackie), Rogers is forced
to battle the bad guys, while
questioning the loyalty of
the U.S. government and his
S . HI .E .L .D. headquarters.
Adding more drama, Captain
America is acquainted with
Keanu Reeve's lookalike,
the Winter Soldier, a mysterious assassin questioned to
be a familiar face from his
past.
Sometimes it gets old to
watch the typical battle between the good and bad
guys. Call me old-fashioned,

but I can't help but prefer a
film with a genuine story
rather than one that focuses
purely on Hollywood glitz
and glam and who can throw
a punch better. Although the
film is nothing short of being
an enjoyable, edge of your
seat "Superhero" tale, it is
the hidden vulnerability of
the story that makes it all that
much better.
As Captain America battles
new enemies, he consistently expresses his loyalty to
only doing what he thinks
is right for himself and society, refusing to let anyone
convince him otherwise. Being that Marvel already confirmed future installments, it
is pointless to add dramatics
over whether Rogers will survive at the end of the film. At
times it can almost seem as if
the film is a documentary on
Rogers' new transformation
to being the American Yoda
(Becoming Society's guidance and Patriotic "force").
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier," is proof that a
sequel can outdo the original. The Avenger becomes an
admirable and likeable hero,
proving to be more than just
a handsome man that can
throw a shield.

When Masahiro Sakurai revealed trailers for his
fourth installment in the
popular Nintendo crossover
fighting series Super Smash
Bros, at E3 2013, fans across
the nation rejoiced. Along
with revealing a number of
returning veteran fighters,
Sakurai also unveiled a few
new characters joining the
fray for the first time: Villager from Animal Crossing, the
Wii Fit Trainer and, perhaps
the most exciting of all, Capcom's superstar cyber hero,
Mega Man.
Since then, Sakurai has
slowly but surely showed
little details about the game
as development went on, primarily through the pictures
he posts on Miiverse. Over
the course of these past 10
months since Smash Bros.
4 was unveiled for the first
time, they announced several
returning characters including Olimar of the Pikmin series, Lucario from Pokemon
and, much to Smash Bros.
Brawl fans' delight, Sega's
blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog. In addition, Sakurai also
revealed two new characters:
Rosalina and Luma of Super
Mario Galaxy and Little Mac
from Punch Out, who was an
Assist Trophy character in
the previous installment of
the franchise.
On April 8, Sakurai devoted a full, 40-minute-long

even more information about
the highly anticipated Smash
Bros. 4. Here he presented
several new aspects of the
game, including the differences between the 3DS and
Wii U versions.
The most recognizable of
these are: stages and game
modes. When Sakurai said
that the two versions would
have different stages, he
wasn't kidding.
As far as anyone can tell
right now, the only two stages the two games have in
common are the franchise's
signature stages: Battlefield and Final Destination.

Sakurai also showed a game
mode exclusive to the 3DS
port: Smash Run, where four
players compete in a unique
competition involving a race
for power buffs that will be
used in a match following
said race.
Other than that, Sakurai
also talked about new and returning Assist Trophy characters from Brawl, including
Andross (Star Fox), Knuckle Joe (Kirby), Nintendog,
Skull Kid and Midna (Legend of Zelda), Dark Samus
(Metroid), Chain Chomp
(Super Mario), Elec Man
(Mega Man), and a rather
hilarious trophy called "Color TV-Game 15" that, as far
as Sakurai shows, is a large
game of Pong taking place
on the stage, knocking the
players around.
Although it's on the same
plane as every other franchise represented, Pokemon
has a special place in Smash
Bros in terms of items.
Whether a new fan .or old,
every player knows the value
of a PokeBall. If one drops
onto the stage, the reaction
of everyone is the same: get
it before the others! This
time around, however, those
red and white balls aren't the
only thing players will want
to get their Jhands on.
THIS time, Sakurai has included a new kind of PokeBall that is easily more valuable: the Master Ball, which
will only contain rare or
legendary Pokemon, where
a regular PokeBall will
contain common Pokemon.
New Pokemon include Arceus (4th generation), Eevee
(1st generation), Fennekin
(6th and newest generation),
Meloetta (5th), Gogoat (??),
for
Wii
Palkia (4th), Kyurem (5th),
Victim (5th), Keldeo (??),
and the well-known mascot
Xerneas.
Also, players who had a
problem with characters with
multiple forms will no longer
have that problem. ,In previous games Brawl and Melee,
Two returning characters
had alternate forms that they
could switch to in the middle of a battle: Zelda (Zelda)
could transform into Sheik,
while Samus (Metroid), by
using her Final Smash, could
shed her armor and become
Zero Suit Samus, while performing another Final Smash
would restore her armor.. In
Smash Bros. 4, these characters have all been split into
their own, solo forms, with
Zelda and Sheik getting new
attacks to replace the one
they would use to transform.
In addition, Sakurai also
made the anticipated confirmation of a returning fighter
who hasn't missed a game
yet: Yoshi (Mario), whose
revelation was delayed because the developers were
working on remodeling him
and didn't want to upset fans.
After Sakurai bade his fans
farewell, he dropped one
more trailer for us, dropping
two more exciting pieces of
information: the return of the
massively popular Pokemon
Charizard, now as a solo
fighter, and the introduction
of a new Pokemon fighter:
Greninja, the fully evolved
form of the 6th generation
starter Pokemon Froakie.
Super. Smash Bros, for
Nintendo 3DS is set to be
released in Summer 2014,
while Super Smash Bros, for
Wii U is set to be released the
following Winter.
