Highest
enrollment
in school
history
School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams
UVA:
Freshmen
lose personal
space
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
New students at CSU San
Marcos will find it harder to feel
alone this
Fall semester—enrollment at
the university has increased by
almost seventeen percent from
last fall's total enrollment.
CSU San Marcos has grown
considerably in large part due to
the state government allowing the
school to increase its total student
population at a greater rate than
in previous years. With a net gain
of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is
up to 6,968 students, over 1,300
of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU
San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total
enrollment on campus is 8,461,
as compared to last years total
of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus
enrollment records which had
peaked in 2003 when enrollment
jumped to 7,708 students.
This record breaking growth
is not unique however, as San
Diego State
University has also broken
enrollment records with its
incoming class this year. While
the officialfiguresfor enrollment
at all California State University
schools are not available until
September 22nd, this growth
could likely make the student
population at CSU 'San Marcos
larger than several other California State campuses. Last year,
CSU San Marcos was the 19th
largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU
Monterey Bay, CSU Channel
Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year
CSU San Marcos will become
the 16th largest California State
University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU
Bakersfield.
The increase in enrollment has
had other effects on the school as
well.
Parking has been increased to
accommodate the incoming class,
including the opening of Lot F,
and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus
housing has also beaten previous
records, with 575 total residents

CSUSM trashes the competition
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM has trounced the
opposition at Recycle Mania
2006 competition for the
Recyclemania
second year in a row taking
home the Grand Champion
"Tin Man" trophy. This is also
the second year that CSUSM
has entered the competition.
Since last year the contest has

In response to high demand, the
University Village Apartments
welcomed 550 students this year,
at a full capacity of 100 more
students than last years capacity
with the same amount of rooms.
In order for UVA to build more
apartments elsewhere on campus,
they need tofirstprove to the State
of California that they have the
demand to do so. The challenge:
accommodating one hundred
more students a space provided
originally intended for less.
One particular aspect about
the UVA which proved to be a
rarity among other university
dorms was the gift of choice. In
the past, students could choose to
live in a private room with three
other roommates. Students could
also choose to share a larger room
with one roommate. Either way,
four students were assigned to
one apartment. Alas, this is where
the freshmen come in. Every
freshman living iri a private room
setup in buildings B and C are
affected by the change.
In each private room setup,
there are now six people living in
it instead of four. In two out of the
four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are
now two freshman instead of one;
along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds.
The Pride interviewed several
different residents living in UVA.
Roommates Andrew Weltzien
and Sean Richards were asked
what they thought of the new

CSUSM had to duke it out
with Point Loma Nazarene
University and Kalamazoo
College. CSUSM came out
running halfway through
the contest and produced a
recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent
from the 2005 competition.
CSUSM actually produces
an even higher rate but the
contest limits the materials
used in the calculation.
CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students
but to two groups known
as the Blue Team and the
Green Team. The Green
Team is a group of students
and faculty at CSUSM who
are always thinking of new
ways to reduce waste on the
campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus.
These two groups combined
have greatly contributed to
the two victories.
The "Pin Man" trophy
from the 2005 victory by
CSUSM was handed over to
Point Loma based on their
2006 victory in the Waste
Minimization
category.
Point Loma was able to
reduce the amount of trash
for each student to just 35
pounds per person. Yes,
even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania
competitions.
CSUSM is synonymous
with recycling.
Steven
Brankov who is a student at
CSUSM
said,
"San
Marcos is always clean,
you don't see trash in the
bushes, you see cleanliness."
Another student at CSUSM
Jenny Bigpond commented,
"Those bins are everywhere,
it's almost impossible not
to recycle." Not only will
students walk away from
CSUSM with a degrees, and
muscular calves, but they
will also walk a\yay with
recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes
about recycling like this all
over this campus there is no
question that CSUSM will
be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition
which will be held January
through April.

for the fall semester. While it will certainly be less
lonely on campus for some, it may be more competitive for others. The growth raises concerns among
some about resources and services being stretched
even more than they have been previously. Some
students express concerns about longer wait times at
places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not
these sorts of concerns will become serious issues
for students during the semester though remains to
be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to
be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500
of us.

the first ever day of s occer o n t h
campus of Cai State San Marcos. It
started bitter with the women's team
losing 3-1, The day looked like it w as
going to end bitter a s well, but freshman Mike Nuòvo m ade it sweet.
in t he 85th minute Cai Poly Pomona's Andy Bertolucci tied the g ame 11 and silenced the S an Marcos sideline. In the final minute Nuovo stepped
up and delivered t he 2-1 g ame winner,
causing the S an Marcos student s ection t o storm the field after the final
s econds ticked down.
"ft f eels good to bring a win to my
home s chool" said Nuovo, a Poway
:
resident, i t just feels good to win,
b aby"
The solid d efense, which included
8~saves from goalie Trent Painter led
to Nuovo's h eroics/
i felt like a brick wall out t here
except for the o ne goal 1 let u p*
said Painter, a resident of Huntington Beach, and a junior transfer from

The g ame's first goal c ame in the
55th minute from CSUSM's Curtis
M arcikic/a freshman from University Hills high s chool At f irst the goal
a ppeared to b e enough for t he Cougars to win, but then the final minutes
of t he g ame proved to b e more dramatic than anticipated.
After the first g ame against Cal
Baptist, which the CSUSM men's
team lost 3 -2, coach Ron Pulvers
w as disappointed in his team's per-
formance, Fortunately, his players
learned from their mistakes,
"We were f ocused, prepared, and
ready to play t oday/ said Pulvers;
T he excitement wasn't lost on
anydne in a ttendance. President
Karen S, Haynes w as jubilant, posing
for pictures with students who painted
their bodies in support of CSUSM
athletics.
"This w as more than I expected.
It e xceeded my e xpectations/ said
Haynes. "The participation by t he
students w as amazing/'
The a ttendance w as a shock to
many, considering t he time that the
g ames were played.
•Tm really surprised by t he turn o ut

Director Dr. S tephen Nichols. 'This

T he women's g ame started out
similar to t he men's g ame with a
goal in t he 16th minute from Clarissa
Hidalgo to put S an Marcos up 1-0.
But then Cal Poly Pomona showed
why they compete in Division II of
t he NCAA and CSUSM c ompetes in
t he NAIA, scoring three unanswered
goals to win 3-1.
"Pomona is bigger, faster, and
stronger, but w e expect to c ompete
with any t eam/ said Pulvers.
Even though t he C ougars lost 3-1
they still took satisfaction in scoring a
goat, a fter a first g ame shut out a t Cal

"It felt amazing, it w as u nexpected/
said Hidalgo, a g raduate of Mission
Hills high school in S an Marcos. "I
didn't know 1 w as going to b e open, I

�J ock T alk W ith J osh: U niversity H our is w aste of t ime
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
In sports it is common to have
an intermission. It is generally
referred to as halftime in football
and the seventh-inning stretch in
baseball. But a mandated break in
college?
I can't say that I am a big fan of
this "University Hour" that takes
place from 11:50AM-12:50PM.
This isn't pre-school where we
needed "nap-time". Joshie is a
big boy now and he can certainly
manage his own time properly.
Having no classes during that
time killed my scheduling of
classes for this semester. It made
it impossible for me to schedule
classes on just two days a week.
My Monday's are going to be
brutal now. My first class is from
8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1
hour 45 minute break, then a class
from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After
"nap-time", I have a class from
1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2
hour 40 minute break, and then
my last class goes from 5:30PM to
8:15PM. As you can clearly see I
have enough time off in between
classes already.
Since I live a half hour away,
going home during those breaks
generally is not a smart option
since I would spend more time
on the road than doing something
there.
The proponents of "nap-time"
believe that this will influence
more students to get involved in
the university. Anyone who didn't
want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a
free hour to get involved now; It
will be spent grabbing something
to eat, talking on a cell phone or
just hanging out.
I don't want to hear the excuse
that "students don't have enough
time in the day to get involved
in the university or to study." I
somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write
for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the
school, and still manage to have a
little fun. Go to any professor in
the Communication department
and ask how involved I am.
I also don't want to hear the
excuse that other universities and
community colleges have similar
programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting
in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to
the temple from Michelle Kwan.
Some things just don't belong in
certain places. This university is
a commuter campus where many
students have full-time jobs and
are a bit older than the average
college student. We should not
be trying to make this place into
something it's not.
If more student involvement is
wanted then there is one thing that
needs to be done. More on-campus

housing needs to be developed,

who live on campus are involved
in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis. That's like

�BODDI NGTON'S PUB ALE
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
After the first week of school,
and with football season quickly
approaching, it is important to find
an appropriate beer to help with this
transition. Boddington's pub ale
works perfectly; it is both refreshing
and at the same time filling and just
looking at it while it's being poured
may bring a smile to your face.
Widely available both on tap at most
pubs or in four packs at most stores,
Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the
last 200 years and is now distributed
by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume
alcohol content, it is not excessively
strong. And while it is not the best
beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's
has a decent and smooth taste of slight
hops with a hint of sweetness. The
aroma becomes more pronounced as
the beer warms, and like most British
beers it is best served cool, not cold.
While most connoisseurs would
scoff at drinking a canned beer,
Boddington's is in some ways more
f un to drink in canned form than as
a draft. The bright taxicab yellow
and black pint cans come four to a
pack and generally cost between six
and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in
creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic
balls with tiny holes in them that
are inserted into the can before it
is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then
inserted into the can which expands
after the can is sealed, which forces
"irJjlj
beer and gas into the widget. Once
the can is opened and exposed to the
outside world, the pressure in the
can drops causing the beer and gas
inside the widget to shoot out of the
widget's tiny hole. The mixing action
of the pressurized beer releases the
dissolved nitrogen in the beer and
creates a creamy head as you pour
it. The process is both fascinating
and f un, and sometimes if opened
improperly, results in an explosive,
foamy release of beer—which just
adds to Boddington's charm.
With a bright golden color, and
a thick creamy head, Boddington's
looks cheerful and inviting. With its
smooth taste and mild after taste it
works well on its own, so it is perfect
for an afternoon of watching football
or an after studying round at the pub.

Cougars Claw Their Way into Nationals
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos
Track and Field team is winding
down its season with their final
meet, the (NAIA) National Asso
ciation of Intercollegiate Ath
letics Nationals on May 23rd,
2002, in Olathe, Kansas. Fifteen
Cougars qualified for the NAIA
Nationals out of a forty-person
team roster.
Junior Kris Houghton qual
ified for the Nationals in the
Men’s 5000 Meter Run with a
personal best and school record of
14:26. Katherine Niblett, a Soph
omore, ranks 9th in the NAIA
and received her qualifying mark
for Nationals by four seconds and
her personal best in the Women’s
5000 Meter Run by over 40 sec
onds.
Head Coach and former
Olympian Steve Scott set a goal
in the beginning of the season to
have at least seven team individ
ual qualifiers for the nationals,
yet an astounding fifteen quali
fied. “If you set the bar high,
people respond,” Coach Scott
insists. “Everyone that is going
has a legitimate shot at being an
All-American. If we bring back
seven All-Americans, it would be
T he E uro and You:

a tremendous feat for our Univer
sity,” Scott said.
There will be one last oppor
tunity for additional runners (who
have not qualified) to meet the
standards for the Nationals at the
Claremont Classic on the week
end of May 11.
In order for a runner to qual
ify, they must achieve a certain
standard. An “A” is a score that
automatically qualifies the runner
for the NAIA Nationals and a “B”
is a provisional qualifier. “There
are still five people that are capa
ble of qualifying and have a good
chance, “ Scott explained.
In previous years, Coach
Scott would have taken three
men and three women who made
the B provisional standard to
the Nationals, consequently “with
budget cut backs we decided to
only take the automatic qualifiers
and no provisional,” Scott said.
Robbie McClendon is a pro
visional qualifier for the Nation
als in the Men’s 1500 Meter Run
and 3000 Meter Steeple Chase as
a junior. “This weekend I have
a good chance qualifying,” said
McClendon. “Most people don’t
know that we have one of the best
teams in San Diego. It would be
good for people to cheer on some
good competition and come out
and watch. (The team) has a lot
of different people that make it
fun and exciting. We have a good
time out on the track. Having
a good time makes it so much
better to go out and run.”
NAIA qualifiers are Renee

More than 50 students and commu

the German Club presented special
guest speaker Dr. Michael Wolff, Coun

Consulate General in Los Angeles last
Monday. Wolff lectured and discussed
Europe’s new currency the Euro, and its
economical and political implications,
as well as social changes that followed
the implementation of the new money.
Welcomed by Astrid Ronke, German
Studies professor and faculty advisor
for the German Club and Dean Wil

ences, Wolff introduced the Euro by
handing out some banknotes and coins,
so the audience could have an initial

He explained that the launch of the
Euro as shared currency among 12 differ
ent European countries “marks the largest
monetary changeover in world history...
The banknotes and coins of the single Cur
rency of the European Monetary Union
entered circulation on January 1, 2002.”
Although, since Jan. 1,1999, the Euro has
been an institutional currency for banks
and other financial institutions with a fixed
exchange rate.
Wolff said what an enormous task it
was for the banks to exchange the money
and that “funny enough, luxury goods
like boats and big cars were suddenly all
paid in cash in December” to avoid the
exchange hustle. Every European, who
did not exchange old currency until Feb.
28, 2002, now has to address the politi
cally independent European Central Bank
in Frankfurt, Germany to do so. He also
addressed the amazing amount of 14.24
billion notes that had to be printed. “ If
placed end to end the notes would reach
to the moon 5 times forth and back,”
said Wolff. He also gave the historical
background of the Euro. He said, “The
launch of the Euro was a combination
o f a decades long process.” With the
establishment of the European Monetary
System in 1979, European currencies were
from Grant Middle School, a professional
juggler, dancers from Georgia’s school of
dance, and a demonstration by representa

linked together and by 1986 the Single
European Act implemented a single Euro
pean market, meaning one trade zone.
Wolff said that Europe eventually achieved
the ambitious goals set by a Treaty in
1992, which “called for full economic and
monetary union by 1999.”
To express the Euro’s global influence
on economics, Wolff cited the Chief Econ
omist of the L.A. Times James Flanagan,
who analyzed the recent rise of the Euro
and fall of the dollar as a signal for “global
transition and a decline in global depen
dence of the U.S. economy.” He said the
Euro’s ambition is to create “the largest,
most powerful economic area’’ in which
political unification and one big trade zone
will benefit European price stability and
budgetary discipline. The design of the
Euro was determined by a competition
launched in 1996, He said the winner was
an Austrian, whose work was selected in a
public survey.
This is the second time Wolff has
come to speak at Cal State San Marcos.
“We [the German Consulate] always like
to come here and give students the oppor
tunity to learn more about what is going
on in Europe,” said Wolff. His enthusi
asm about communicating the matter was
shown by his ability to engage the audi
ence in a lively discussion.

�Is It Getting
Hot in Here?
What Is Global
Warming Anyway?
By CHAD MITCHAM
For The Pride
Solar energy (sunlight) is
responsible for all life on earth.
This energy comes to earth in
the form of visible light that
penetrates the atmosphere easily.
Once in the atmosphere, clouds
and the earth’s surface absorb
some of this energy. The rest of
the energy is re-radiated by the
earth’s surface as infrared energy.
It is this re-radiated energy being
trapped by molecules in the lower
atmosphere that gives rise to the
warming of surface temperatures
on the planet, also known as the
“greenhouse effect”. Without the
greenhouse effect, much of life
as we know it could not exist on
this planet, including our life.
Certain molecules are better
at trapping heat energy than
others. Most of the molecules
responsible for the greenhouse
effect occur naturally in our
atmosphere in the form of gases
such as water vapor, methane,
carbon dioxide, and ozone. For
millions of years these gases have
been formed, removed by natural
processes, and reformed in a del
icate balance, giving us the cli
mate of our planet.
The gases regulate the ratio
of solar energy that reaches the
earth’s surface to the amount
that leaves the earth’s near-surface atmosphere (or troposphere)
on its way back out to space.
Humans disrupt this process by
creating new greenhouse gases
and producing, in too great of
quantity, greenhouse gases that
already exist. These gases add
to the amount of radiated energy
being trapped on its way back
out.
Most of the gases responsible
for trapping heat occur as a result
of the combustion (burning) of
organic compounds, most impor
tant to us, fossil fuels. When these
fuels are burned they release
(among other things) carbon diox
ide and water vapor, both green
house gases. Water vapor is
regulated by the hydrologic cycle
of the planet and is therefore
mostly out of human control
(unless we consider the human
effects due to deforestation, etc.).
Carbon dioxide only constitutes
0.036 percent of troposphere
gases naturally, but because of our
ability to generate large amounts

ing to try and reduce the global
emissions of carbon dioxide. The

-The U.S. produces one-fifth

Are
Americans making
good role models for developing
countries? It is ironic, however,
that the reversal to the global
warming trend lies mostly in our
hands. The existing forests need
to be preserved as carbon “sinks”
to trap C02 before it can trap
heat. Most of these forests lands
are tropical and are being burned
(releasing C02 in the process) for
farmland and pastures, and the
wood being used as fuel for cook
ing and heating. Those large for
ests need to be preserved and new
ones need to be planted world
wide. New technologies need to
be encouraged that reduce the
dependency on fossil fuels for
energy. And finally, yes finally,
the inhabitants of the earth need
to recognize their vital role in
their own future and become
involved in the process of conser

As adolescent artists such as
Lil Bow Wow, Lil Romeo, and
Sammie continue to pave the way
for young artists into the main
stream, Corey may have captured
the formula to follow in their
footsteps.
Corey’s debut album consists
of 13-tracks utilizing the typical,
radio/commercial, and R&B for
mula, comparable to the work of
Another Bad Creation or Imma
ture. Some of the standouts were
songs like “What?” “All I Do,”
“MVP,” and “Ghetto Superstar.”
The
mes
sages contained
in his music talk
about the percep

as an adolescent
and romance issues such as love.
In general he’s just having fun.
In addition, cameo appearances
by Lil Romeo, Lil Reena, Shaq,
and Michael Jackson add flavor
to his production.

about
German
Professor’s
Departure
Five years ago, Astrid Ronke
came to Gal State San Marcos, as a
part time professor, and started the
German program here. German
isn’t a popular language to learn
in San Diego or at CSUSM. Why
would a student take a language
that doesn’t guarantee it will
allow you to complete the lan
guage requirement for gradua-r
tion? The answer is the innova
tive teaching methods and vibrant
persona of Frau (as she is affec
tionately referred to by her stu
dents). Astrid Ronke has built a
program to be proud of.
Small as it may be, the
German program has had as many
as 70 students and 4 courses.
Frau acts as faculty advisor of
the German club, one of the more
active clubs at CSUSM. She also
wrote the proposal for the newly
passed German minor. Her per
sistence is why students take her
class, and her style is why they
stay.
Students can easily tell
between professors who care and
those who don’t; she is one who
cares, and we appreciate that. Her
students nominated her for the
Brakebill Distinguished Profes
sor award. Some have asked
her to write their recommenda
tions because she is the one who
knows them best, and others have
asked her .to hand them their
diploma because she is the one
who inspires them most. We will
miss you Frau.
Your departure is hard for
us, because it wasn’t on the best
of terms. It left us wondering,
how could someone we respect so
much be so disrespected? That
is the life of a part time professor
without a PhD, even if you have

working with Frau Ronke as VP
and President of the German Club.
Through her efforts, CSUSM has
been brought a little bit of the
German culture. We have seen

�io Possible Solutions
for io Complaints
By GEORGE BURGESS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
1. The Computer Lab
The computer lab and class
rooms smell like feet, that
includes my feet. Please, can we
get some fresh air around here?
I understand there are safety and
maintenance hurdles to overcome
with the windows, yet I fail to
see how opening a window is
enabling suicide. Can we try sui
cide prevention classes; maybe
increase our awareness of the
signs that indicate suicidal
thoughts? Does locking win
dows, which creates hot and
stuffy classrooms, eliminate the
fifty other places on campus one
could commit suicide? Preven
tive education might serve to
be more beneficial both on and
off campus, while creating a
more bearable and less conta
gious environment.
As for the computer printing
system let’s cut our losses and
move on. It is slow, unreliable
and inefficient. There are only
two possible reasons why it’s still
in existence. One, the people
with the authority to make pos
itive change don’t realize what
a disaster printing is, or two,
they don’t care about the massive
inconvenience it is to CSUSM’s
students.
The solution? EZ print.
Track our printing and send us
one easy bill at the end of each
semester. At the bare minimum,
install a change machine in the
computer lab and freshen it up.
Is that really so much to ask?
2. Parking
I’ll give three to one odds
that sometime over the next two
years an expensive new parking
proposal is implemented. It will
most likely be slipped in for a
vote right after a break or summer
recess, before we can rattle our
cages in protest. This is exactly
what took place over winter break
and came dangerously close to
happening.
The solution? Hold dear to
the fact that future construction
costs are not our responsibility
and demand University interven
tion. Parldng Services is a pri
vate organization that can’t match
the University’s growth without
blowing the cost of parking into
the stratosphere. Don’t let the
University stand quietly by and
let Parking Services take the heat

“I hope I die on-screen,” said
Jackson. “We know that’s what
happens. There are only two Jedi
left when the first Star Wars starts,
Obi-Wan and Yoda. Unless the
rest of us went on vacation, we’re
dead. I just hope I have a great
death scene. That’s what acting’s
all about —dying great!”
“George has told me nothing.
Absolutely nothing,” said Hayden
to entertainment reporters at Skywalker Ranch, Lucas’ home. “I’ll
have more mechanical parts in the
next one for sure. I’m told I might
get to sport the dark helmet. I’d
like to kill Mace Windu. I love
Sam. He’s supposed to be one of
the most powerful Jedi.” But for
the fans that fell for Padme and
the romance of EPII, prepare for
quite a difference in EPIII. “I’m
going to be with child,” said Portman. “The next one, according
to George, is going to be a trag
edy., It’s going to be sad, but I’m
looking forward to having more to
do.”
Yet, EPII was no stranger
to tragedy what with death and
destructioq sent out by villains to
for the parking dilemma.
3. Smoking
Many of us love debating
about this one, but it really
shouldn’t be such a big deal.
Someone, whether it is a
student group or staff member,
please revamp the locations of
the smoking areas. We should
give equal consideration to the
rights and convenience of smok
ers and non-smokers. Currently,
there appears to be a lot of gray
area regarding where it’s accept
able to smoke.
The solution? Mark the
smoking areas as clearly as non
smoking areas and hopefully we
can put this issue behind us.
4. Attitude
How many times have we
heard that we as students aren’t
getting involved and are apa
thetic? Personally, I don’t believe
this.
Just because the actions of
our organizations and individu
als don’t make the cover of the

/ ‘Freestyle Session
M ixtape Volume 2”
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
Taking you back to the
roots of hip hop flava is DJ
Fingaz who brings you “Free
style Session Mixtape Volume
2,” which is a compilation of
various artists from Special Ed,
to Das FX, to KRS-ONE.
This CD allows you to
capture the old school, under
ground hip hop joints that you
probably didn’t pick up on vinyl
or could find in the stores over
a decade ago. The production
work of DJ Fingaz uses a col
laboration of blends, scratches
and slams to hold this compi
lation together. Likewise, the
programming and music selec
tion of songs keep you tuned in
and attentive to see what he’ll
play next. “Freestyle Session
Mixtape Volume 2” is a good
choice for the hip hop lovers
out there or for music enthusi
asts that want to take a musical
trip into history. I’m sure that
Volume 3 will be out soon.
Graduation Blues
So, there I was, sitting at
my computer at home, working
on several projects like all good
little students at this point in the
semester, especially when it is
the last semester: three papers
and a group presentation; fig
uring out exactly who to send
graduation announcements to*
holding three different IM con
versations at the same time with
friends from local areas to Paki
stan, and what should arrive in
the mail today but something in
what appeared suspiciously like
an invitation envelope from our
beloved alma mater.
So, I’m thinking as I open
this, “Who would be inviting
me to something?” as if I was
someone special at the univer
sity. After opening this mis
sive, a surprise beyond measure
awaited me !
Did I say beyond measure?
Well, I guess so, because I’ll
never be able to figure out the
cost of printing this item, includ
ing the RSVP card, envelope,
invitation and special insert, and
who paid for it (was it the raised
student fees or some special fund
the president keeps stashed in
his suit coat or something? I
don’t know!). Oh, I’m sorry. I
forgot to say what it was. Well,
there in black and white (I think
the official invitation was in offwhite eggshell, but what do I
know? I’m colorblind) was an
official invitation to the Com
mencement Open House in honor
of all of us soon-to-be graduates
at Cal State San Marcos.
Wasn’t this great? An official
invite to bring my family and
friends and show them around
the campus where I have spent
so much time and blood, sweat
and tears (well, it sure seemed
like it some of the time!) for the
last few years. I would be proud
to do that, especially since it
was going to be an bpen house,
which I understand to mean that
there will be faculty and staff all
around the campus with exhibits
that my friends and family can
talk to and all that kind of staff!
Maybe even some refresh
ments or something. Well, at
least the Dome might be open.
And then came the “oops!”
I read the times and date of this
wonderful event. Of course, I’m
sure that ALL of you graduat
ing seniors and post-graduates
received one of these, so you
don’t need to be told. But, for
the sake of everyone, since we
want to make sure that everyone
is included as per the mission
statement of good ol’ CSUSM,
I’ll let everyone else know. The
event is scheduled for Saturday,
June 1, 2002, from 10 AM to 3
PM.
Okay, okay. Hold on, now!
Many of you out there in reader
land will think that this is a good
time for the graduates. And in
years past, it just might have
been. Of course, that was when
graduation ceremonies were held
on campus. Ah, and there’s the
rub this year. Graduation is not
on campus or anywhere close
to campus this year. I would
have to say that whoever planned
this wonderful event didn’t quite
think it all the way through.
Be patient, dear reader, for I
will explain. First, the gradua
tion ceremonies for this year are
being held in Del Mar, approx
imately 30 miles away from
campus. Has anybody traveled
on 78 and Interstate 5 on a Sat
urday lately, especially to Del
Mar?
While not as bad traffic-wise
as a weekday, there is the perma
nent slowdown when you reach
La Costa, to say nothing of
the delay at the 78/1-5 merge,
or any accidents that might
cause additional slowdown. And
even though there is a minimal
amount of surface street travel,
there are still the delays caused
by traffic and traffic lights. So,
comfortably* one might expect
at least an hour or more to make
the transit from CSUSM to Del
Mar. Oh, I need to wait for my
friends and relatives also, hoping
they don’t get lost. Since some
of them may be from out of the
area and not familiar with the
freeway system in our area, it
would be good to make sure they
can keep up with me.
A further delay, you say?
Possibly. See, I’m trying to plan
this whole event down to the last
detail. So, keep in mind that 10
AM to 3 PM time frame.
I would lik§ for everyone to
attend this open house. Since
I happen to be a Liberal Arts
major that means that I am going
to have to be at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds at least 30-45 min
utes before my ceremony begins,
which is at 1 PM. Of course,
that means giving myself (and
family and friends, so we’ll stip
ulate that they are all with me the
whole time) extra time to find a
parking place, after paying for
it, of course, and then time to
walk in from the parking lot and
find out exactly where I am sup
posed to be and to ensure that
my guests get seated. Oh, did I
mention that CjSUSM is a com
muter campus, and that we all
have to drive from some dis
tance to the campus from some
place?
Now, I live in Fallbrook, and
the fastest route I have found
to the campus from my house
takes an average 45 minutes to
drive safely within limits that
my guests can also follow. I have
friends that drive in from up
in Riverside County and down
from Ramona and other distant
places. And I want to leave
time for my guests to get the
full benefit of the open house.
That would make the most sense,
wouldn’t it? C’mon, admit it, you
know how you hate being rushed
around on a tour and how rude it
is to only spend a minute or two
talking to someone, like maybe
your favorite professors who just
might be at the campus. Won’t
they? Sure they will! Unless
they are required to be at the
graduation ceremony.
Gee, I wonder if the facili
ties folks and police are going
to be the only ones at the open
house? Think they’ll just unlock
everything and leave it that way?
No? Guess not. Gotta pay that

overtime. So, since I graduate at 1 PM,
and I should leave the campus at approxi
mately 11 AM, or no later than 11:15 to
insure there is enough time to get through
the traffic, find parking, walk in, locate
everything, get the cap and gown on,
check in, get anything else like an honors
stole to put on your gown for the cer
emony, and be ready to file into the cor
rect spot (phew!), that leaves us about 1
hour for our leisurely enjoyment of the
campus.
Now, l ean do this, as can my guests.
But, they won’t see much, nor enjoy some
thing that the administration is hopefully
going to make meaningful for the gradu
ates and their guests. And don’t forget the
seniors graduating at 9 AM.* They’ll be
able to enjoy about an hour and a half of
the open house if they rush right out after
their ceremony ends to dash up the free
way to the campus. Right?
Actually, it looks like the ones who
will be able to enjoy the open house the
most are the Master’s candidates and those
receiving their teaching credential since
their ceremony doesn’t start until 4:30 PM.
I salute you! You’ve put in more time at
CSUSM than I have, so you deserve it!
But, the invitation is to all of us.
Gee, now that presents a problem. So,
how can we rectify this? Maybe extend
the hours of the open house? Start earlier
and end later? Maybe. Hold it another
day? Probably not. We know how things
get etched in stone sometimes, especially
something like this. Maybe we could
writers. More importantly, as the paper of
the university where I have taught since
it opened to students, that The Pride will
stay true to its name and set a better
example as to what it means to exercise
free speech responsibly and judiciously.
Stella T. Clark, Ph.D.,
Professor of Spanish and founding
member of the Department of World
Languages and Hispanic Literatures
change the location of the graduation cer
emonies to someplace on campus, or at
least close? I could suggest the football
field, or even the soccer field. And they
have the additional advantage of having
free parking! Probably not.
*
We have discussed and protested, and
presented and all that concerning having
the graduation at the campus, and we
all know the answers. Del Mar here we
come!
Well, maybe in the future there could
be a little better planning for something
like this. Maybe those of you who are
going to graduate from CSUSM in the
future can start planning now for better
logistics, can start campaigning for more
use of logic and common sense. Of
course. I’m only a Liberal Arts major, with
a minor in History, so that doesn’t quite
qualify me, I guess, to make all those busi
ness decisions that set things like this up
that don’t make sense, and that waste tax
payer dollars, and people’s precious time.
Oh, didn’t I mention that I was a taxpayer?
But that is another issue altogether.
So, those of you that are going to be
able to attend the Open House, I wish you
well. Honest! Enjoy ! And those of you
in the administration and facilities and
faculty and staff, enjoy the small atten
dance. It will make your job easier. Oh,
and thank you for this wonderful invita
tion to this spectacularly well-conceived
event. Again.
Unfortunately, like so many others,
I’ll miss this last event, too.

minority of people who have
their hands in everything, while
the majority of students bolt to
their cars the moment class is
over. Is that really so bad? Over
all morale and school spirit are
better than we give ourselves
credit for. How many CSUSM
shirts did you see today?
The solution? Let’s stop
the deprecating comments regard
ing student involvement; they are
inaccurate and counterproductive.
If we/are currently involved in
something, maybe we could try
inviting a stranger to join us.
Sounds cheesy right? The truth
is I wouldn’t be writing for The
Pride if someone hadn’t invited
me to take LTWR 316.
5. The Book Store
If you feel robbed after you
sell your books back at the end
of the semester, you’re not alone.
I’m as broke as the next person
and twenty bucks buys a lot of
Top Ramen, however, I would
rather eat my books than con
tribute to a system which clearly
cares more about profits than its
students.
The solution? Boycott the
bookstore until it offers fair prices
for book returns. Even better,
let’s have our first CSUSM pep
rally; in our bonfire we can bum
our books in protest of the unfair
sellback prices. If that’s too much
for you because you’re strapped
for cash, try Adams Ave. Book
Row in San Diego. You may get
a much better deal.
6.Class Schedule
The only thing worse then
opening a schedule and finding
that the class you need isn’t
being offered is having to pay
two dollars to find this informa
tion out. You may have guessed;
I’m the cheapskate who accesses
the schedule online. Charging for
class schedules is an unwarranted
slap in the face to students. It
is just another way to nickel and
dime students to death.
The solution? Refuse to buy
a schedule until they are free.
Use the Internet instead. At least
bury the schedule printing fees in
our tuition. It’s a sad thing, but
I’ve seen people hqve to borrow
money for a schedule.
7. Graduate Students/Teachers
Technically
considered
“adjunct staff members,” there
are a number of graduate stu
dents who teach General Educa
tion classes at the University. In
my experience, they are gener
ally fresh, enthusiastic and very in
touch with student issues, which
is ironic considering they are paid
poorly and don’t receive any med
ical, or dental benefits. These
unappreciated teachers can’t even
get a staff parking spot.

CAMPUS SEAT
“How do you feel about this year’s commencement
b eing held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds?”
By KATERI RODGERS
Responses from some of our graduating seniors:
“I think it’s great because the
race track is nicer. There’s
better parking. People will be
coming from out of town and it
will be good to see that area.”
- Janet Shick,
Psychology
“No problems: There’s going to
be a reception. My only concern
is that J wanted my family
to see the campus.”
- Kami Tebyani,
Business
Graduate students who also
teach generally work double the
amount of hours they get paid for
and have no union representation.
Congratulations to the staff and
the CFA on your new contract
settlement, now let’s take care
of your future colleagues. There
is an old saying, which seems
appropriate here, “personnel is
your most valuable asset.”
The solution? Increase their
pay and get them some benefits,
it won’t break the bank. At the
bare minimum let them park with
the rest of the staff.
8. Federal Holidays
Honoring Caesar Chavez’s
birthday is progressive but not
when we disregard other federal
holidays. This year’s calendar
managed to avoid a major con
flict, yet a new year is on the hori
zon.
Veterans Day, according to
the 2002-2003 academic calendar
approved on February 13, will be
ignored along with Washington’s
Birthday and Columbus Day. Lets
face it, federal holidays are out
dated, Christmas and Easter are
religious holidays, Columbus was
no saint and George Washington
was a slave owner. Still, I would
rather try my luck with die fed
eral government than leave the
holiday calendar up to any Uni
versity’s staff. After all, in 1994
Martin Luther King’s Birthday
was declared a federal holiday
and I would imagine in time
“At first I was disappointed when I
heard it was going to be at Palomar
because you won’t get the full expe
rience. They’re going to do what
they have to do. I just accepted
it and moved on.”
- Cleto Cortez,
Human Development
“I was fairly disappointed it can’t'
be at a school where my family
can see where I went. But I wasn’t
going to go if it was going
to be at Palomar.”
- Amanda Kellogg,
Finance
Columbus Day will be removed
from the list. To me that is prog
ress.
Meanwhile, the University is
attempting to erase the 872,969
lives, which were sacrificed in the
name of freedom and democ
racy, between the Revolutionary
War and the Gulf War. The Uni
versity’s substitution is appar
ently the lone fruit farmer and
activist Caesar Chavez. Veterans
are males and females represent
ing every race, as opposed to one.
Right now there are as many as
25,000 young American men and
women deployed throughout the
“Central Region” or Middle East,
some who we know, will never
return. Much like the hundreds
of thousands of veterans before
them, who for no better reason
than wanting to serve their coun
try, made the ultimate sacrifice.
According to the Department
of Veteran’s Affairs the veteran
population was estimated at 25.6
million, as of July 1,1997. Nearly
80 of every 100 living veterans
served during defined periods of
armed hostilities. At the time,
this number represented one third
of the total U S population, and
many are working on degrees here
at CSUSM.
Columbus Day; no! Thanks
giving Day; yes. Does that mean
that Spanish colonization was a
bad thing and English coloni
zation is something we should
celebrate? Really, is our aca
demic calendar any more socially
enlightened than the federal holi
day calendar?
Disregarding federal holidays
destroys the only established
guidelines we have to go by;
without them we transfer unbri
dled authority to individuals who
wifi naturally favor their individ
ual race or organizations while
disregarding others. How danger
ous has that become in the past?
The solution? Honor all the
federal holidays. There is time
and justification to do so.
9. Religious Tolerance
We aren’t there yet folks, not
racially, sexually and not even
close religiously. I never thought
I would see the day when the free
speech area on campus would be
suddenly changed in the middle of
a demonstration. Religious intol
erance is our biggest and most
volatile problem.
The solution? Everyday we
might remind ourselves to seek
objectivity and practice tolerance
towards other religious groups.
Regardless, of how wrong or dif
ferent they may appear to us,
we should try harder if we truly
desire to evolve.
10. The Pride
If there is this much room for
any one person, especially me, to
say something in The Pride, then
we really are doomed.The solu
tion? Contribute to The Pride and
enlighten us!
