University officials have recognized the need to restructure the current composition of colleges to help meet the need for growth and development in the university's future. Currently the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS) fosters more than 50 percent of the degree programs available on campus, including 25 Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs and 32 minors. The new split would divide science and math disciplines into the new College of Science and Mathematics and further divide the other CoAS departments into College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Further advancements include the new addition of College of Education, Health and Human Services that will house Education, Nursing, Kinesiology and Human Development. The College of Business Administration will not be affected by any of the new changes. "The restructuring is rearranging departments and schools and colleges, in the case of Nursing and Education, in a way that best positions the university for moving forward," said David Barsky, Associate Vice President of Academic Programs. "I am confident that this will position us well to leverage our strengths and create a stronger impact with our programs.

On the one hand, who doesn't want to get away from the rigors of school and go and enjoy vacation time in a beautiful and relaxing location f ar from home? On the other hand, who wants to fork out the time, energy and money needed to make a trip like that possible? With gas prices looming at about $4 a gallon and tuition skyrocketing along with them, chances are, Spring Break with no extra costs sounds nice and much more manageable. However, vacation doesn't need to break the bank or complicate your free time. This semester, a handful of students took their one week of freedom into their own hands and took off on an adventure that any outdoor-lover would envy: an outdoor excursion trip to Utah. Sponsored by ASI, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break program allows students on a budget to have fun and get out with some friends without the stress of high costs and major planning. One of this semester's Spring Break programs, a Utah excursion, found around 14 CSUSM students hiking and biking their way along scenic canyons and breathtaking desert terrain for seven days and six nights. The students, along with Brian Daw- son from the University Village Apartments (UVA) and Hugo Lecomte from Campus Recreation as their guides, journeyed to the famous Utah hotspots Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Arches as well as participated in a mountain bike ride in Moab. For those of you who haven't heard of these recreational areas, Bryce and Zion Canyons are two national parks located in southern Utah while Arches National Park is located in eastern Utah. Bryce and Zion Canyons, while certainly not as big or as amazingly vast as their often compared-to counterpart the Grand Canyon, offer nature lovers awe inspiring vistas of jutting rock formations and sweeping cliffs, all set against the majestic back- drop of the Utah desert. Arches National Park, in comparison, offers exactly what its name implies, a look at some of the most unique and brilliant rock arch formations in the world. Altogether, these three parks are some of the most beautiful and naturally thrilling locations in the southwestern United States. A trip to the canyons of Utah is unforgettable, and for this particular trip, everything, including accommodations (and for those of you who prefer not to sleep on the ground, all accommodations were indoors), only cost each student who participated $200. In the words of one of the campers, Whitney Brown, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, the trip was an "absolute steal and totally worth it." Brown also commented that "it was %ne of the most memorable trips [she l as] been on. It w^s a Iife\changing experience and absolutely unforgettable." For those already settled into the final few months of this semester, keep in mind that this time, next year, you could be returning refreshed and renewed from an alternative Spring Break sponsored by ASI. Hopefully now you know that it won't leave you broke, will give you a chance to spend time with some friends, and will leave you refreshed and renewed before returning back to the grind.

It is a known fact that most of the country's students have regarded Spring Break as an eagerly anticipated opportunity for surfing, sports and general relaxation. It is a week during which students can engage in far more activities than are usually available during winter and can enjoy a taste of what is yet to come over summer break, albeit at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own Univesity Village Apartments (UVA), not everyone went home for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a large group of students from the dorms volunteered to work with Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida. These select few students worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one of the students who participated in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6 [a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group worked on a different portion of the house each day. '"Some- times we did dry wall, we did insulation, floor boards, a lot of different stuff," James Sanchez, another student, said. "We didn't finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days," Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation, which took about four days, and Habitat [for Humanity] is going to swiftly finish the houses over the course of 10 days." Overall, the group played a crucial part in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new experiences and other problems that are going on this country." The experience, however, was not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva added, "Although we had to work a lot we needed some free time. We saw famous sites like "Miami Ink." One of the nights they had a party for the workers, just to say thanks." In addition to giving back to the community, the group managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that much more rewarding. Overall, the group worked hard, but the payoff was great. They not only gave back to the community; they had a lot of fun in the process. Above and below: Photos courtesy ofUVÄ. SPRING FLOWERS COLOR APRIL HILLSIDES CARLSBAD FLOWER FIELDS IN BLOOM M ORGAN HALL LAYOUT A SSISTANT Photos courtesy ofMorgan Hall Interested in seeing spring's early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres of brightly blooming flowers. The fields, which overlook the Pacific Ocean, are filled with colorful Ranunculus blooms. Rows of these flowers carpet the rolling hillside, creating a feast for the eye and camera lens. Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are open to the public until May 8. Prices for the Flower Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors age 60, and above, $5 for children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free. The Carlsbad Flower Fields offer a variety of activities for families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted American Flag of Flowers, which sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot, contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag. The fields also annually set up a unique sweet pea maze in which visitors can navigate through a fragrant and colorful maze of "old fashioned" sweet pea blossoms. If you are interested in celebrat- ing Christmas during spring, the Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts a 1,500 square foot poinsettia greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant. The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including the Carlsbad Mining Company, where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of the Lake Arrowhead theme park "Santa's Village," now has a new home on the Flower Fields and allows the public to enjoy historic whimsical play houses and giant colorful mushrooms. According to their website, theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The Flower Fields also hosts music festivals and craft fairs; check out the "Special Events" page of the website for more information. �C S U S M ' S W R I T I N G C E N T E R F IXES W O R D W O R R I E S S T U D E N T S HELP S T U D E N T S W RITE R IGHT J ENNA J AUREGUI FEATURES E DITOR With finals, term papers and other writing woes lurking in the remaining weeks of school, students may find they need help putting pen to paper. The" CSUSM Writing Center is the perfect resource for students who need help editing, revising or brainstorming ideas. Located on the bottom floor of the Kellogg Library in room 1103, the Writing Center offers free tutoring help from certified consultants, many of which are advanced Literature and Writing students at CSUSM. For ten consecutive semesters, Writing Center consultants have undergone training through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) in order to provide students with the best writing tutors on campus. Tutoring ses- sions are available by appointment Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. - noon, and during walk-in hours Sundays at the UVA from 6 - 8 p.m. The Writing Center's mission is to "be a welcoming learning environment where certified studentconsultants offer constructive guidance to all writers of all levels at all stages of the writing process" as seen on its website, csusm.edu/writingcenter. Consultants help students work on their pieces—whether it is a short essay or Master's thesis—by "reviewing the prompt, asking guiding questions, and providing non-judgmental feedback." By working one-on-one or in a small group, students can gain control of their written words and succeed in their classes. As the semester accelerates into its final weeks, the Writing Center'invites students to attend workshops that will help ease writing anxieties. These U-hour workshops take place in the Writing Center from noon - 1p.m. on Tuesdays. Today's workshop will focus on "How to Write for Specific Audiences." The workshop on April 12 will help with timed writing assignments in a lesson titled "Writing Under Pressure: The In-Class Essay and Essay Exams ." April 19 will feature a work- shop designed to teach students strategies for learning on their own, titled "Be Your Own Tutor." For additional information about the Writing Center's resources for students as well as the U-hour workshops, visit csusm. edu/writingcenter. With a little help, CSUSM students can excel in all modes of writing from initial brainstorming to final proofreading. Friendly, knowledgeable consultants are ready and waiting to guide students on their way. ASKNP RHE COUfr T ELATIONSHIP APVICE PATIN» A I haven't been on a first date since my high school years.

Anthony Harbor wouldn't have any of that. After all, he intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too. Clay, the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the Decathlon, and a graduate of Azusa Pacific University, arrived with athletes from the school on Saturday, saying he "just needed to get a meet in." Clay competed in the discus throw, an event he holds the decathlon record in, as well as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor, who graduated from CSUSM last year, ran stride for stride with Clay, hurdling over the obstacles in unison—but just far enough Cal State San Marcos men'I golf jumped up 6 spots in this week's NAIA National Rankings, settling in at #17 after debuting last week at #23 j Coach Greg Hutton's Cougars, who were unranked in the preseason, capped off a very strong regular season with a 7th place finish out of 16 teams at the Cal Baptist Spring Break Intercollegiate in Primm, NV on March 21-22. At that event, CSUSM finished right in the middle of a field loaded with ranked teams, placing ahead of numerous teams including Holy Names University (#13) and the University of Victoria (#21). The Cougars* are preparing to compete at the A .II. Conference Championships in Victoria, Texas starting Apr. 25. behind to see Clay finish ahead of him at 14.10 to his 14.24. "It was the first three hurdles," Harbor said. "He was way 'more explosive than I was. He had a better center of gravity. He's a great athlete." London awaits Clay in 2012, and with the summer games in sight, the two-time medalist (he won the silver in 2004) has been training rigorously to regain his fitness after a devastating hamstring injury ended his World Championship bid in 2009. "[The 110-meter race] was sloppy, but it's thefirstrace, so you don't expect much more than that. You can't expect too much. You've just got to get your feet wet." When sloppy running equals first place at a competitive college track meet, another Olympic gold medal seems reasonable. Clay didn't even win the discus throw, which might be his best event, placing second behind Azusa Pa- cificfreshmanBeckwith Brad. But Clay wasn't there to win, anyway. "Hearing the gun for the first time, getting in the [discus throwing] ring and not having a foul for the first time...that kind of stuff can kind of play with you a little bit, so you just want to get in there and deal with it mentally and emotionally," he said. For those who were there to win, there were plenty of opportunities. CSUSM sophomore Krystle Osby flew past the field to win the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.23, with sophomore teammate Aimee Rassavong finishing third. The Cougar women dominated the pole vault, with Calah Ayer, the winner with a 3.19 meter jump, followed by teammates Kelsey Monticalvo, Meghan Freund and Natalie Eisenberg gathering a clean sweep of the 1-4 spots. The one-mile invitational run polished off the evening and contained a field of only five runners hand-picked for a close race. CSUSM's Brett Campfield went toe-to-toe with BSK Running Club's David Edwards before finishing less than a second behind, with the crowd cheering wildly behind the athletes. The day belonged to Clay, though. Everyone on the premises knew it, and had they not known he was there when they arrived, they were soon informed of his presence over the loudspeakers in the announcer's emphatic voice. Clay brought a small crowd to the discus throw, a sight usually unseen at college Track & Field meets. When the champion took his mark on the hurdles track, the crowd buzzed and flashbulbs exploded. For Harbor, it meant an opportunity to represent for the home crowd. "This is my school," Harbor said, a gleam in his eye. "You have to make it look easy, even though it's not."

Shortstop, Shanti Poston, made the first official big play of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out the top of the 1st inning. At the top of the 2nd, Columbia scored 3rd consecutive runs on one hit due to a few small errors and a wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars down by three early in the game, By the beginning of the 3rd, San Marcos began to find their groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder of the game. Midway through the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave Williams said, "to shake the rust off" after nearly 12 days without playing a single game. Sandberg ended the first game by striking out 9 Columbia College batters. As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players, and even coaches feared a loss, At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball team knew here would be its last chance to shake things up and get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win. Derrisha Lacey stepped up to the plate, hit the ball just out of the reach of the third baseman, and cutting the lead to 3-1. With the winning run on base, Poston smacked the ball to center earning a base hit. Due to Poston's hit, the centerfielder dropped the ball and allowed pinch runner Brittney Guy to beat the throw and allow CSUSM to come away players, coaches and fans fuming at the umpires over several missed calls. Coaches and fans were shouting across the field, "Come on, ump," or "What game were you watching?" and the ever popular, "Are you kidding me?

The 3DS features 3D without the need for any special glasses, as well as a number of upgrades to the system. A new slider pad allows you to control characters with an analog stick much like you would on a home console. The system also features a new built-in motion sensor and gyroscope, giving gamers the ability to manipulate the game through tilting and shaking the 3DS. The system has two screens, much like its predecessor, the DS. However, the top screen is an adjustable 3D screen and the bottom is a touch screen. The 3D slider to the right of the top screen allows users to change the depth of the 3D. The 3DS. comes packed with 11 applications. The camera app takes 3D pictures with the system's dual cameras mounted on the back of the device. The "Face Raiders" app uses photos of people you've taken and places their faces on in-game enemies. The 3DS also features a "Mii Maker" app, so users can create avatars, or "Miis," usable in games such as "PilotWings Resort." Gamers may also place the Miis in the "StreetPass Mii Plaza," which exchanges Mii data with other 3DS systems in the area. The Nintendo eShop also returns, in a future update, to allow gamers to purchase classic Nintendo titles. Currently, the 3DS has 16 games available for purchase including "Super Street Fighter IV," "Madden NFL 11," "PilotWings Resort," "The Sims 3" and "Lego Star Wars ID: The Clone Wars." Nostalgic gamers can also expect the release of updated older games over the next few months such as "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater" and "Star Fox 64." The Nintendo 3DS system currently costs $249.99, with games priced at $39.99 at most electronics retailers. Photo courtesy of wikimedia jorg C ACROSS CROSSWORD U G A R A baby bird (think chickens).

The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge marks the first ever cross country meet hosted by CSUSM. The races, however, are put on by an outside organization, and while both the CSUSM men's and women's teams will compete, their times and results will have no bearing on the official NAIA standings or rankings. There will be a 5K run and an 8K run, offering partici- VOL. X VIII NO. 7 pants a range of difficulty on the virtually untested course. The course begins at Mangrum track and takes runners around towards the Clarke Field House, then runs parallel to Campus Drive to Barham Drive, leading to Twin Oaks Valley Road before returning participants back on to Mangrum. The #8 ranked Cougars women's team will take the course at 9:00 a.m. to run in the 5K, and the #8 ranked Cougars men's team will follow soon after, running the 8K at 9:45 a.m. This event is open to the public. Registration, begins at 7:45 at Mangrum Track on the day ofthe race; the entry fee is $15. CSUSM Athletic Director, Steve Nichols sums up the uncommon nature of the event, saying "This race is especially unique in that members of the campus and surrounding communities can not only come to witness the excitement of collegiate cross-country up close - they can even join in as participants." The Cougar 5K/8K Challenge will offer participants an up close and personal taste of intercollegiate cross-country by bringing the public together to compete with one of the top NAIA cross-country programs. Thanks to Associated Students Inc. and Habitat for Humanity, Alternative Spring Break is back for its fifth year at Cal State San Marcos Alternative Spring Break gives students the chance to give back to the community. Last year, the program expanded out of state for the first time by going to New Orleans, helping to restore the damage left over from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. According to the National Hurricane Center, Katrina, which struck the Southeastern part of the United States, was the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in United States history, This year the program will return to New Orleans to work alongside Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organization that specializes in building homes for the underprivileged.

In collaboration with the Washington D.C. based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation and the CSUSM Department of Political Science, the CSUSM Model United Nations hosted a campus visit by former Lieutenant General, Robert Gard, of the U.S. Army and former General, Joseph P. Hoar, of the U.S. Marine Corps. The visit was one of many stops in San Diego for the two retired gen- erals as part of a two-day long series of speaking engagements critical of the Bush administration's handling of both the war in Iraq and relations with Iran. General Joseph Hoar served as the Deputy for Operations for the Marine Corps during the Gulf War and later as the Commander-inChief of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the unified combatant command that oversees jointmilitary operations in the MiddleEast, East Africa, and Central Asia. Lt. General Dr. Robert G. Gard served in the U.S. Army with combat service in Korea and Vietnam.

On the topic of immediate withdrawal, General Hoar noted, "that is just not possible," especially given "concerns about stability" and "significant requirements to protect our friends," referring to Israel and other Arab-ally states. The discussion eventually shifted to Iran, where General Hoar stated "is a much more complicated problem." Citing both historical misunderstandings and a lack of support from regional powers in the Middle East, General Hoar warned against the possibility of a war against Iran. He also maintained that because Iran does not "have the capability to attack the United States directly," Iran will "retaliate by destroying infrastructure facilities all up and down the gulf and elsewhere in the region that belong to friends of the United States." The two emphasized opening up discussions with Iran's government in the belief that Iran is not the enemy they are made out to be. As Lt. General Gard clarified, "Iran cooperated with us when we ran the Taliban out of Afghanistan and...in response for their cooperation, just weeks later in early 2002, is when the President made Iran a charter member of the so called 'Axis of Evil'." At the end of their presentations, the two generals opened up the discussion for questions from the audience. One student asked, "What do you think is going to happen in the couple of months with the Iran issue?" General Hoar responded, stating his belief "that there are very powerful forces in the U.S. government that believe the United States should attack Iran." Students also addressed in their questions the issues of the Blackwater controversy, possible conflicts of interest with Vice President Cheney and Halliburton, and even past wars. After answering all questions that time permitted, the two generals received a standing ovation and departed for another speaking engagement. As CSUSM continues to grow, students can expect more visits from prominent figures in the future.

The Chancellor also maintained, "We remain committed to operating the CSU with the highest possible level of transparency and accountability to students, taxpayers, policymakers and the public." Despite this veto, Governor Schwarzenegger stated, "when appropriate, I do believe that there should be transparency in our educational systems so that the public has confidence in our institutions, which is why I am signing Senate Bill 190 that provides some additional openness and accessibility for the public on matters of executive compensation."

The two have been vocal critics of the handling of the war in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. In May of 2004, General Hoar spoke before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, commenting on the war in Iraq, "I believe we are absolutely on the brink of failure. We are looking into the abyss." Much to the same effect, their message at Wednesday's presentation focused on alleged faults in military strategy. In Lt. General Gard's presentation, he explained "that we went into Iraq-invaded the country-with what turned out to be a force far too small to deal with the consequences of the invasion when the insurgency began." He also went on to state that U.S. forces "were not trained to fight counter-insurgency, they were trained by a more conventional style of war." Building on Lt.

What was the one thing that was notably absent from the huge 41-3 win last week? The prowess and domination of LaDainian Tomlinson that Chargers fans have come to know and love over the past few years. Last Sunday the Chargers managed to score four touchdowns on offense; none of which were in the hands of Tomlinson. Fast-forward seven days, and in front of 67,000 person crowd at Qualcomm, Tomlinson scored four touchdowns of his own on the way to 199 yards rushing, in easily his most explosive game of the season thus far. Tomlinson guided the Chargers to 28-14 victory; the eighth straight over the Raiders. The famed Chargers-Raiders rivalry went down in front of a packed house, with fan support on both sides of the ball. The Raiders left droves of Los Angeles area Raiders fans teamless, when the organization packed up and moved from Los Angeles to Oakland in 1995. These fans are still strong today, and many make a point to take the journey south and catch the Raiders in their only Southern California appearance of the season. The Chargers, feeding off last week's momentum, scored on the first drive, advancing the ball 80 yards in 11 plays with a balanced air to ground attack. The drive culminated in a threeyard Tomlinson touchdown that sent him leaping over Raiders defense and crossing the plane of the goal line at a nearly vertical angle. It took only three plays on the ensuing Oakland possession for the Chargers' defense to get to work. Cornerback, Drayton Florence, intercepted Daunte Culpepper's third and 12 pass intended for wide receiver, Jerry Porter. On the very next drive, Tomlinson rushed through traffic to the left, for a 27-yard touchdown. Not only had Tomlinson matched his touchdown total on the season in only eight minutes, but he also tied John Riggins for fifth all-time in career rushing touchdowns, with 104. Oakland struck in the second quarter, as linebacker, Thomas Howard, intercepted a Philip Rivers pass and returned it for a 66-yard defensive touchdown. Early in the third quarter, on a drive sparked by a Philip Rivers to Antonio Gates 28- yard pass, Tomlinson scored again, this time for 13 yards. The Raiders scored their final points with 5:18 left in the fourth quarter as Daunte Culpepper passed to rookie tight end, Zach Miller, for a goal line touchdown. Tomlinson scored his 106career touchdown on a massive 41-yard rush that gave the Chargers some insurance with a 28-14 lead. A lead that would be made final after a disastrous attempt at a Raiders comeback. Tomlinson's quest through the record books met up with another legend in this game. LT's final touchdown put him in a tie with Jim Brown for fourth place all-time in career rushing touchdowns. The Chargers victory pushed them to 3-3 overall on the season, putting them in a tie for first place in the AFC West with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers take a week off and return to the field on October 28 at home to face the Houston Texans at 1:05 p.m. on CBS.

MCS is available both on and off campus and can be accessed in one of three ways: a link is placed in WebCT, typing "mcs" into a campus computer's web browser, or, if being accessed from off campus, typing "http://mcs.csusm.edu" into the browser. Originally, the MCS was intended to replace the large and difficult to maintain cable television system on campus. By streaming video over the network, Integrated Information Technology Services (ITTS) was able to not only cut down on the clutter of the cabling system, but also include the off campus support, integrate it into the WebCT system and record off air, similar to a TIVO, The online media library was piloted last spring with a few instructor volunteers. However, as it is a new system, development will be slow in order to make sure it works with all computers. As instructors request different materials be placed in the media library, the number of videos on the server vary from semester to semester. Although the MCS is not intended as an archive for student videos, ITTS does help student to place materials on the serves for course-related purposes. In order to deliver relevant and desired content, an informal poll of campus organizations that use the MCS is conducted and the results are incorporated into the selection as much as possible. Many of the popular cable channels are not available due to the school's basic cable feed from Time-Warner. �Children Website of the Week .3ÜLY1 one area's tragedy and exposes it worldwide Invisiblechildren.com takes BY TIM MOORE Pride Staff Writer If you have not heard of Invisible Children by now, it is about time you did. Invisible Children Inc. is an organization founded by San Diego area filmmakers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, dedicated to creating awareness for the plight and poverty of the people ofNorthern Uganda. Northern Uganda is in the middle of a civil war between its established government and rebel group, the Lords Resistance Army. The Lords Resistance Army, formed in 1987, is led by Joseph Kony, who, along with his soldiers, has been openly accused of violent and widespread human torture, mutilation, rape and abduction. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is most well known for its forced army recruitment by kidnapping. In a 2006 survey declared that more than 66,000 youths were abducted by the LRA since 1987. Invisible Children started as a rough cut documentary filmed in the spring of2003. According to the website, thefilmmakerswent into the opportunity as a "filmmaking adventure," but "[the adventure] transformed into much more when these boys from Southern Califor- nia discovered a tragedy that both disgusted and inspired them - A tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. What started as a 55- minute rough cut documentary four years ago, has turned into multifaceted, non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference, or as the website states "transforming apathy into activism." The main focus of the website is directed toward the most tangible medium of communication oil the internet: video. Nearly .every featured project on the website is greeted with a hip, modern introduction video that conveys the main points in a way that not only grabs the viewer's attention, but informs him or her along the Avay. The current marquee project highlighted on the website is the "Schools for Schools" program! The "Schools for Schools" project is dedicated to fostering the desire for the children of Northern Uganda to acquire an education. The project will achieve this by taking the top 46 high schools in Northern Uganda and turning them into the best schools in the country, in an effort to match the academic averages of the rest of the African continent. The program focuses on five aspects for reform: water, teachers, books, buildings, and technology. The "Schools for Schools" project is supported by middle schools, high schools, and colleges in America. To date, more than $112,000 has been raised by 547 schools with 5,892 students participating.

That means that we do things like swap articles, have a little family dinner once a week, and carpool in the same Impala for drive-bys. You know how it is. But apparently, all this comradery wasn't enough. We all decided to get the same illness too. It's that season again, when the guy next to you in PSCI 100 starts sneezing and you start thinking, "If you give me a cold, I will kill you. I will literally kill you." Depending on how annoying he was to begin with, you might say it out loud - especially if you're me. I hate colds. They're not epic enough to really give you an excuse for anything, but they screw up everything. It's significantly harder to intimidate everyone from the pizza guy to your writers with a cold, steely voice when you actually sound like you belong in a damn Theraflu commercial. And then, there's the judgment. Perhaps, you've noticed that I mentioned my grandmother several times, since she pervades my life. Well, she's about as supportive of illness as she is of dating. "You know, you're burning the candle at both ends. You were bound to get sick." No, I'm sick because everyone in my office was sick and like every other building in America, we think re-circulating air is a peachy keen idea. And you know that just like me, when you get sick, you have at least one friend or family member that will tell you how you got sick; because they are trained medical doctors and mind readers. Go to dinner with them and blow your nose repeatedly at the table. And talk about filthy things as loudly around small children as you can. I find this is a good way to take out my aggression on someone. Restaurant humiliation. So what should you do now that you have the cold? Well, there are various options, including but not limited to busting out the tea, taking a ton of Tylenol Cold, or getting plastered on Nyquil. My best recommendation? Give it to somebody else.

Now in its eighth year, the SDAFF is showcasing 130 films ranging from full-length features to an assortment of short independent clips. The festival also includes workshops for young filmmakers. The spotlight film was "Dark Matter," which is a story based off true events of a physics student who kills six people at a university. Otherfilmsincluded were "Finishing the Game" (opening at the Landmark Ken Cinema in San Diego on Oct. 26), and "West 32nd," a crime drama set in New York's Korea-town. For many of the guests, the festival is an amazing platform to encourage and support the arts in the growing community. Special guests of the festival include celebrity faces from the Asian community such as Justin Lin, Roger Fan, Yul Kwon, MC Hammer and Leonardo Nam. Many of them spoke about upcoming projects, political and social awareness, and fair representation in the media. "I'm definitely thankful and I think the fans have been great and very generous," said James Kyson Lee, who stars on the THE PRIDE National Bird: Eagle, National Anthem: Star Spangled Banner; National book: I Am America (And So Can You!)

While some spoke about the good fortune they have had, others took the opportunity to speak about reality and progress toward future realizations. "If there is a barrier that will break Asian Americans into mainstream, it's when as a whole they start putting their dollars into something that is specifically Asian American," said Fan who starred in "Finishing the Game" and 2002's "Better Luck Tomorrow." Kwon, the winner of"Survivor: Cook Islands", was on hand to help register bone marrow donors and encouraged political awareness among Asian-Americans. On Saturday night, the festival honored longtime actor George Takei. Takei, famous for roles such as Kaito Nakamura from Heroes, and the beloved Lt. Sulu from Star Trek, received a lifetime achievement award for his work in Hollywood and contributions to society. When asked about Heroes, he responded, "Nothing is as it seems on the surface- Stay tuned."

El Mexicano Kirin Ichiban BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Having visited a local sushi bar this weekend and encountered a lovely Japanese waitress, the mind craved more elements from the land of the rising sun. A quick glance at the checkbook and the daily planner resulted in canceling reservations hastily made on a random travel website. A quick visit to Beverages and More for a Japanese beer would have to suffice for now. Kirin Brewery Company operates in multiple industries and markets. Asahi Brewery bought out the brewery in 2000. The brewery has a complex history because the ownership has changed hands and management styles throughout the years. Kirin not only brews beer but also produces hard liquor, wine, soft drinks, and food.

Black, tan, and gold hues comprise the visual aesthetics. A creative god-like horse styled animal dominates the center of the packaging. The bottle is adorned with the same image. The bottles are capped with a tan and gold bottle cap that seals off a beer with 4.95% alcohol-by-volume and 145 calories. A light version offers 50 less calories. The beer pours ultra-smooth and creates little to no head. The champagne colored beer glistens heavenly behind the frosty glass. The beer creates a low key aroma similar to that of the more famous Heineken. Wort, barley malt, and hops function in harmony to create a smooth tasting beer. The beer enters the mouth, jolts the taste buds, and quickly exits stage left. A subtle tingling sensation lingers for a brief moment as a result of the shock. Given its crisp taste, the beer can be paired with almost any food selection. | If a Vacation l o Japan ] seems out of reach, * simply grab a six pack of Kirin Ichiban. Do not forget the camera. BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Since its release last Tuesday, Stephen Colbert's first book, "I Am America (And So Can You!)," raises one simple question: Is it a great book, or the greatest book ever? In my honest opinion, I would have to say, "Yes." It has something for everyone: humor, justice, and the truth about America. It should not be long before this book replaces the Constitution. BY BRYANT TINTLE Pride Staff Writer I, like most college students, have succumbed to the horror that is the "midnight munchies." The fact that you are starving at 11:00 at night while trying to do a Political Science paper due tomorrow isn't the scary part. The horror is driving around trying to find a good place open that late. That is why there exists the haven for the hungry nocturnal being: El Mexicano. Located on Mission Rd. in Escondido, it is within reasonable driving distance from CSUSM. In fact, it stands to reason that you may have already driven past it and never noticed it. It is difficult to comprehend that a building shaped like a small barn is actually a Mexican restaurant. Not only do you get a close restaurant, you also get a good p rice| A biirritó, quesadilla, and drink together are less tlfaii 7 dollars. Now, when I say burrito, I'm not talking about one of those thin, wimpy E AXOF little things youfindat your average run-of-the-mill fast food Mexican joint. You get a grande-size burrito, the kind you can only get at a hole-in-the^wall restaurant like this, a burrito you might feel bad for eating afterwards, but you don't care because it was so delicious. Take a couple of your buddies to lunch when you have a break. Reminisce about the crazy antics that your group has gotten itself into yet again. This is the perfect place to define as your friends' new meeting spot. So whether you and your friends are looking for a new restaurant to eat at so you don't get sick of sandwiches and burgers, or just looking to calm that midnight hunger beast,£ don't hesitate to take a short driye out of your ' comfort zone into a little place called El Mexicano, or "the delicious^ Mexican restaurant that you will be telling your friends about forever" in English. Image courtesy of Grand Central Publishing Seriously, this is a great read, whether or not you are a fan of Colbert and his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert R eport" I waited for this book for a very long time and the very cover of the book had me giggling. This book is part of Colbert's continuing tongue-in-cheek attempt to bring America back to its glorious, conservative state. From thefirstpage to the last, he writes with his clever and witty style that had me laughing out loud. The book covers how to live like an American in areas such as family, religion, media, and education. Armed with his right-wing values, he breaks down issues, pointing what is 'wrong' with America, and how everyone would be more patriotic by following his family-loving, Godfearing, alpha-male lifestyle. While being a humorous look at America, it is also very poignant. True to his nature, Colbert wrote this book to be both Entertaining and educational. So pick up some Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream, curl up in an American flag on a couch next to your copy of The Declaration of Independence, and enjoy "I Am America." Be sure to get several copies as well; one each for your bedroom, bath room, and living room to get your full serving of truth. This book should do for America, what Harry Potter did for wizards. If everyone could just read this book, the world would be a better place. And that's the word. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
