Recall
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
On March 4, Students and Faculty across California will join
thousands of demonstrators across
the state in what is being billed as a
"Day of Statewide Action for Public
Education." All 23 campuses in the
California State University system
will hold demonstrations to address
California's underfunded public
education programs.
Though the budget crisis in California's public universities has
received much of the public 's attention in recent weeks, the "Day of
Action" will take aim at the state's
underfunding of public education
across the board.
According to the California Faculty Association (CFA), "March 4th
will be a unified effort of education supporters from all segments
of public education in California
where participants will hold rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins,
and other types of events on every
CSU campus and at other locations
across the state "
The first half of the demonstration will consist of a a teach-in and
panel discussion in Academic Hall
102, which will run from 10:30 a.m.
to 11:45 a.m.
Dr. Scott Greenwood, Dr. Ranjeeta Basu, Dr. Sharon Elise, and
Dr. John Haicon are expected to
head the panel. The teach-in will
also be simulcast at various locations
on campus, at Palomar college, and
online at www2.csusm.edu/cfa/.
Don Barrett, President of
CSUSM's CFA chapter, says the
panel "will address a range of topics
including the California Master Plan,
access to publicly-funded higher
education, the
role of education
as a public good,
and "deliverology" and its
impact on educational excellence."
Immediately
following the
panel discussion, demonstrators
will
move to Library
Plaza, where a
rally will take
place
from
1 1:50-12:50.
During the rally,
students, faculty, and staff
will share personal testimonies on how the
budget crisis has
affected them.
The idea for
a statewide day
of demonstrations emerged
last October at
the Statewide
Mobilizing
Conference held
at UC Berkeley.
Hosted
by the California Campaign
to Save Public
Education, the
conference
drew together
hundreds of students and faculty to collaborate on a
method for bringing attention to the
crisis in California's public education.

I was excited for
the Olympics to start
last Friday, but when I
reminded a co-worker,
he shrugged it off and
told me he did not care.
His comments made me
think. I asked myselfifthe
Olympic Games mattered. That made
me wonder if the games a celebration
ofculture and unity or self-indulgence
for the athletically superior.
But it did not take long for me
to decide the Olympics are important Sure, it is exclusive to men and
women with particular talents. That
is only a limited view of the sports. It
is the kind of distraction people need
from international and economic tensions.
That is the first need to have the
Olympics. Aside from all the competitions, it is a literal representation of
the different countries. Each delegate
proves that people can come together.
1 see the Olympics as a
sign of hope that people
can get over their differences on a global stage.
Only the best athletes
can participate, which
might be seen as marginalizing ordinary people,
but I do not see this as
a bad thing. Watching
someone compete and
seeing the potential of a person is
encouraging. It shows that anyone
can test the limits of what is considered impossible.
The selected athletes can also
serve as a focal point in bringing
their own country together. Just as the
entire competition brings the world
together, every person can identify
with delegatesfromtheir country. In
America, decisions over healthcare
and the economy drive us apart, but I
hope that for a few weeks we can rally
together to cheer on our teams and
individuals in Vancouver.
It is a competition, and it would be
a nice morale boost to see our Olym-
pians succeed. There can only be one
winner, but the competition is exhilarating. Hockey and figure skating are
prone torivalriesthat add to the fun.
In the end, it is just a game and should
be used as a springboard for pride, not
hate.
Lastly, it is an expression ofculture.
Since the game is in Canada, most
of the focus will be on that country,
but watching the camaraderie and
passion amongst teammates is also
enlightening. Spectators and participants can see the way other people
act, thus appreciate differences and
find ways that humans have more in
common than realized
The world needs the Olympics.
The games are not about dividing
the world; it is about bringing them
together and celebrating the triumphs
of strength, skill, and will.

are hitting bottom, like things in
their lives are hopelessly miserable
or unbearably painful. From the
same Duke study, 40% of college
students report feeling "so depressed
that it's difficult to function" at some
point during a typical year. Five to
ten percent report thoughts of ending
their lives. These thoughts are most
often not really desires to die, but for
the current pain to end. Please, ifthis
is you, find the courage to reach out
instead to afriend,a family member, a
religious advise»; or a mentor and talk
about your pain. Or call Counseling
Services here on campus. We know
from experience that when given
the chance to talk the problems out,
people realize that there are options,
or that it's not as bad as it seems, or
that they aren't as alone as they feel
they are, and hope is born again.
If you are concerned about a
friend or classmate: don't be afraid
to ask them about how they're feeling,
and don't be afraid to ask them ifthey
are thinking about harming themselves. The idea that you might "give
them the idea" is false. When people
who feel this way are asked, the
almost always are relieved that someone sees their pain and cares enough
to want to know about it And if you
ask, and the person admits that s/he is
feeling awful and has even had such
thoughts, please, take them seriously.
In fact, take seriously ANY such
talk: 75% of all people who commit
suicide give warnings to friends or
family members, and far too many
are ignored.
Let the person know that you care,
that s/he is not alone, that such feelings are temporary, and that there are
alternatives. And if the person agrees
not to "do anything", make sure s/he
has a very specific plan to seek safety
and solutions. Who will the person be
staying with? What phone number
will the student call if s/he feels desperate? Why don't we call the counseling center, or talk to housing staff,
or a parent or partnerrightnow? Just
because the worst thoughts have gone
for the moment, they might return, so
the person's safety needs to be provided for.

A first-hand report o n ' resort style living7
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
One of the most important factors involved with going to university is choosing where to live. Here
at Cal State San Marcos, one option
for students is the University Village
Apartments (UVA), located next to
the campus.
Brian Dawson is director and head
of the UVA and hefeelsit is a great
place for students to live in. He said,
"Our primary mission is to build a
community. It's a fun place to be.
There are programs going on every
night. It's easy to makefriends.By
living here it is easier to study, you
canfindstudy parties easier."
There are also financial benefits to
living at the dorms and the UVA is
not just being offered to freshman.
"Rent is not going to be going up. It's
remained fiat In years past freshman
got priority but due to the state cutting back our funds, we are opening
up to all students. It's on a first come
first serve basis," said Dawson.
The dorms can house up to 625
students, including 18 Residential
Advisors and a Residential Director
and there are three types of rooms
that are offered.
The small-shared room includes
four beds and is priced at $6,250 for
the academic year and $7500 for the
entire year. The large shared room
includes two beds and is $8,000 for
the academic year and $9,600 for the
full year, the final option is a private
room which costs $9,000 for the academic year and $10,800 for the full
year. Students must all sign and pay
a $500 license agreement, which is
non- refundable.
Students are required to pass
monthly cleaning inspections of
their apartments and there is a no
underage drinking policy.
The UVA has a community
center, which offers students the
opportunity to rent free movies and
games. It also includes a game room
that contains several Xboxs, a Nintendo Wii, a pool table, an air hockey
table and a ping-pong table.
Each floor has two Residential
Advisors that help students deal with
any issues they have while living at
the dorms. They are also responsible
for organizing different program
activities such as the UVA Olympics, which involves floor versus
floor competitions.
Evan Long is a student that currently lives at the UVA. Long said,
"I like the dorms because it's a kind
of middle ground between living on
your own and living with your parents. I prefer it because it really simplifies things and I want the experience of dorm life."
He also thinks that it's not just the
students that make the UVA a good
place to live. "I really appreciate all
the effort that the RAs and staff put
into making dorm life more than just
studying and drinking," said Long.
Other students have echoed
Long's comments. Connor Spain
also lives at the UVA. "The UVA
is pretty nice. You can meet cool
people. There is more of a college
experience," Spain said.

The CFA Board of Directors officially endorsed the idea on Dec. 5,
2009 with a resolution calling on
campus CFA chapters to hold "large
on-campus actions that are effective, strategic, and highly visible" on
March 4.
Lillian Taiz, President of the CFA
said, "The future of our country and
our state are at stake. Our kids need
public education from pre-school
all the way to PhD. The slashing
of education funds has to stop, and
the only way to fight back is for the
entire education community to stand
together," said Taiz.
Participants in the demonstrations are expected to address budget
cuts, student fee increases, dwindling course selection, admissions
restrictions, layoffs, furloughs, and
a myriad of other issues plaguing

The achivement was the result
of hard work by a special HSI task

task force was "a group of f aculty, s taff, student, and community representatives, who have
been working diligently to help
the University achieve this designation since I first gave them
their charge in 2004."
"As CSUSM enters its third
decade of service to our region,
we can all b e proud that our
commitment to the historic mission of public higher education
is continuing to move forward.
Not only does achieving HSI

Toyota recall: H ow safe is your ride?
BY MAbLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
Toyota makes a majority
of the vehicles seen here on
campus because they a re known
for being dependable and fuelefficient vehicles that are affordable to maintain, Recently, the
trust in these vehicles has been
put into question by the enormous amount of Toyota vehicles
being recalled.
The p urpose of the recall
was brought t o the attention of
Toyota by a series of accidents,
but many Toyota c ustomers
have come f orward since the
recall announcements to indicate that t hey had complained
about unwanted acceleration
before t hese accidents took
place; Toyota's improper handling of t hese complaints has
caused some Toyota owners to
realize that not only can ihey
not have t rust in their vehicles
p erformance, but they also
c an't have t rust in the company's ability t o provide quality; service t hat insures t heir
safety!
A fatal accident involving a
Lexus ES 350 took the lives of
four people in Santee, where the
vehicle speed up to 125mph on
the freeway before it crashed
past a truck and went air born
off an embankment. Accord-M
ing to Toyota, the crash was
caused by the throttle being
wedged down because there
is, "...potential for accelerator
pedals to become trapped near
the floor by out-of-position or
inappropriate floor mat installations."
Toyota owners who are
affected by this fiobr mat recall
are instructed to take out the
removable driver's mat and to
not replace it with any other
mat. The Carlsbad Toyota
Supervisor, Jana Leopard,
said that this recall j ob would
require them to have the vehicle for a whole day. The padding underneath the accelerator, under the carpet, will
be reduced. They will also
shorten the accelerator pedal,
and install a f lash in the vehicles computer that causes the
f uel line to be shut off when
the brake and throttle are being
pushed at the same time, so
that the brakes are able to prevail over the accelerator.
The other recall is to solve
the sticky accelerator problem,
which will take the dealership a half-day to perform the
modifications. For this recall,
the customer c an have access
t o a rental car, but they must
be twenty-one years old. To
f ix the problem the dealership
will install a reinforcement bar
behind the pedal to lessen f riction. Leopard said that concern
for this recall is higher involving high mileage vehicles and
vehicles in colder climates.
Toyota had f irst believed that
the unwanted acceleration was
only due to the floor mat wedging the accelerator, but with
instances such as the one that
occurred in Southlake, Texas,
the company had to question
their analysis. In Southlake, a
2008 Toyota Avalon sped out
of control into a pond, and it
was determined that faulty floor

mats did not cause the accident
because they were found in the
trunk.
Toyota is making the correct
steps to f ix these faults by issuing the largest recall ever, but
the question is have they really
learned their lesson?
Jim Lentz, President of
Toyota Sales in the USA makes
a statement that implies that the
Company wants to minimize
the blame. "With respect to
unintended acceleration, a rare
event for which all automakers
have received complaints, the
causes can indeed be d ifficult
to identify." He boasts about
the company, "Confirmed incidents of unintended accelera-
tion are a very small fraction of

BY AMY SALISBURY
Editor-in-Chief
We've all seen those signs on
campus: "If you're sick, stay home!"
Most people would not hesitate at
the chance to skip a day of class,
but when you are not feeling so bad
that all jyou want is to stay in bed,
taking a sick day has the potential
to be boring.
If Me common cold is what ails
you, there are a few coldfixesmost
everyone has at hdme to fill a day
with healing power (or at least
something to do).
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not only takes a little time to
prepare, but it is afeaone of the most
vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to ^biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective infightingcolds, but it helps in
the growth and rebuilding of bone
and muscle. Stay away from chalky
vitamin C wafers, as the U.S. Food
and Nutrition board recommends
nutrient intake primarily through
foods rather than multivitamins,
since the latter are synthetic and less
easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in February is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your mood
in a positive way. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately)
is typified by depressed moods
during Fall and Winter, mostly
because of a vitamin D deficiency.
According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Listen to mom, have some
chicken soup. The old mantra
as a standby for cold treatment is
more valid than you might think.
Soup has much more water in it
than other foods, aiding in hydration when your body is trying to
fight off a cold virus. Parsley and
carrots, traditional ^hicken soup
ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A; Vitamin A helps keep
eyes, skin and mucous membranes
moist, in case that dry cough is
getting tough to handle (lifeclinic.
com).
Read: chocolate and peanut
butter. This does not mean a
Reese's binge is acceptable here,
but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations of
cacao is preferred, according to the
USDA National Nutrient Database.
Organic peanut butter made from
oil-roasted peanuts and minimal
sweeteners is your best bet; only
100 grams of peanuts or peanut
butter provides nearly half of the
RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of
your body, including the eyes. Calm
redness in your eyes with the super
anti-inflammatory food, chamomile. Make a weak tea, let it cool
until it is barely warmer than your
skin, and rinse your; face with it.
According to | he FDA, chamomile
causes allergfc reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution on
the inside of your wrist first.

Meanwhile, San Diego Christo 0-3.

tian starter Ranulfo Grijalva was
solid as well, and the game stayed
scoreless for the first four innings.
Finally, CSUSM broke through
in the fifth, taking a 3-0 lead.
Mike Pena drew a walk, and with
two outs, Matt Jenkins continued his hot hitting with a big RBI
double. That brought up Ricardo
Moran, who gave his team some
breathing room with a two-run
homer, his first of the season.
But San Diego Christian would
tie it back up with one swing of the
bat in the seventh, as Luis Perez
hit a three-run homer with no outs
to chase Miller from the game.
The Cougar bullpen would
hold strong, however. Relievers Auggie Richardson and
Ricky Chavarria combined to get
through the seventh, and after Silvett doubled in Omar Manzanarez
in the eighth, Spencer Pardon and
Mitch Ferguon would each throw
scoreless, hitless innings to secure
the 4-3 victory.
These teams will meet again

After Friday's 12-1 loss to Cal

game was much closer, the Lancers would once again prevail.

Dynamically priced music d ownloads
Amiestreet.com
BY SARAH GADDIS
Pride Staff Writer
Amiestreet.com is every music lovers
dream. It isn't only an avenue for new music,
but an active community for every musical
taste.
The site is a place to buy, in their words,
"dynamically-priced MP3 downloads." Their
claim to fame is the way they sell the music. All
tracks start out at a very low price, sometimes
even free, and as their popularity rises the price
does as well.
Albums are also available to purchase. The
way it works is when a track is being constantly
bought, the price will go up. If a song is new
or not as popular, the price remains low. Prices
can range from free or $0.01 to $0.98 and
albums from $0.00 to $8.98. The platform is
very simple and effortlessly navigated by users
with simple links and features and is easy for
anyone with basic computer knowledge.
Their process is a great way for a person to
search for new music. Ifthe price is high, many
people enjoy the song. If it is low, chances are
it is not as well liked. They also have great
rewards for using their site. As you buy you
can recommend (REC) music that you like. By
recommending, you can earn money to your
account to be able to purchase more.
With this purchasing mechanism comes a
new way for artists to gain steam within the
industry. Amie Street lets artists develop a
following through their website as they make
more money.
But that's not the best thing about them. A
s elf-proclaimed,
"filter for underexposed music,"
the real beauty of
the site is its ability
to learn more and
more about your
tastes and direct you
toward the music
that's just waiting
to be found. The site
literally learns what
you like and what

kind of music you
would most likely have interest in.
This site is a hidden gold mind that could
potentially blow up into the next iTunes with
tracks being compatible to iPods and MP3s.
