B Y KRISTINA S ETH Night classes still require flexibility B Y EVELYN CHOROSER T Tf you're planning to get your degree by attending night school at CSUSM, your I options are somewhat limited at the moment."Students need to be quite flexible to -Mdcomplete a course of study at night," said Therese Baker, CSUSM's Evening Degree Program faculty coordinator. "There aren't that many class choices available, so night students need to select required classes when they are offered.'? Evening degrees are offered in history, literature and writing, social sciences, women's studies, education and business administration. In addition, the College of Business Administration offers an evening degree program with options in accounting, high technology management and service sector management. One-third of its courses start at 5 p.m. or later. But it's not an easy route, Baker warns, adding that many students have asked about making more courses available at night and on weekends. " They'd also like to have sets of courses that could meet all their major requirements, but it's not always possible," she adds. It is possible to complete certain majors at night within four semesters . .. but only if a student has fulfilled all lower-division requirements, including the foreign language, and can take four or five courses each semester. But most evening students have full-time jobs and family responsibilities, which limits the number of classes they are able to handle each semester. Normally, achieving a degree via night classes takes seven or eight terms, Baker says. But those taking three courses each term should be able to complete the upper-division degree requirements within five or six semesters, she adds. Students attending night classes have to be flexible. "I pick the class I want without concern for the time it's offered," said Debbie Holderby who is taking two classes at night this semester and one in the late afternoon. She is able to adjust her work schedule to meet the class requirements. * Don Hall, who works full-time and is trying to get accepted into a graduate studies program in literature and writing, said it's not easy to find the few classes he needs at night. Kathryn Moors' work schedule allows her to attend one early morning class as well as evening classes. "I prefer night classes as they are more relaxed and the atmosphere is more mature," she said. "But, I don't like having to make two trips to school." Added Laura Hopkins, another full-time worker during the day: "As a transferring junior this fall, it was difficult to find two available classes that were required for my major. Many of the classes needed were closed before my orientation and eligibility to register." Said Baker: "We are hoping to begin to deliver a more focused, concentrated program by next fall. It will guarantee to students that if they follow a pattern of courses in the evenings and on Saturdays, they could graduate within four to five semesters."

Santa Fe attorney Robert Castille, a former high school t eacher w ho is r epresenting the school board, called the Cordovas' material "insulting," and added that the decision to fire them stemmed from the sisters' unwillingness to compromise. "The Cordovas have mishandled teaching this sensitive subject matter," he added. After the teachers were officially voted out on July 7 by a board vote of 3-2, the sisters decided to go to court. A suit challenging the dismissal of Nadine already has been filed, and another on behalf of Patsy will be filed soon. One of their lawyers, Daniel Yohalem, said, "They have a very solid case for denial of dueprocess rights." Both sisters remain determined. "We were doing a fantastic job. That's the saddest part," said Nadine. Added Patsy: " I've done npthing wrong. I followed the kids' direction. My regret is that I didn't do enough of it." Anti-abortionists target schools B Y D EBBIE HOLDERBY Anti-abortion p rotestors calling themselves "representatives of Jesus Christ" are targeting area campuses. CSUSM's turn came on Sept 30 when the group parked a white van on campus displaying a h uge p hoto of an aborted fetus. But the demonstration appeared to offend both p ro-life a nd pro-choice students and staffers equally. CSUSM's S tudent A ffairs o ffice received numerous c omplaints a bout t he photo, with m any s tudents u rging college officials to ask the protestors to leave. Some expressed concern about the effect the photo may have had on children. One of the protestors, a woman carrying a large graphic poster, came to the Commons area at noontime and handed out literature while students were eating lunch. Since she did not have university approval to be on campus, Public Safety officers walked her to the Student Affairs o ffice to fill out forms so she could remian on campus. When she refused to fill them out and refused to leave the campus, officers escorted her off school grounds. All the while, said Lt. Alicia Smith, the woman was "screaming and yell- ing" at the top of her lungs, prompting students and staff to leave their classrooms and offices to find out what was going t>n. While the woman screamed, a second protestor filmed the event on a hand-held video camera. The protestors then stood outside the university on state property near Craven Way f or an hour, shouting at pass^ ^ g t f f l K ersby and waving the poster. mk " I w as o ffended a nd • V M / e mbarassed," s aid o ne ^ • d J ^ H CSUSM who is pro-life. "I V I A ^ B wouldn't want people to associate me with what w ^ ^ P they did." Though stressing t hat t he a ntiabortion protestors were a cting w ithin t heir F irst Amendment rights to free speech, Public Safety officials said the woman who yelled and screamed may have been in violation of a state law providing, in part, that no one may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities in a school. The protestors have also demonstrated at other North County college and high school campuses. Police at nearby Palomar College said they have appeared near that campus several times recently. "They park their van on Mission Avenue near the campus," said one officer. "They also have shown up at San Diego State University." Police said Palomar students have complained to college officials about the protestors. Public Safety officials said the Sept. 30 demonstration was the only one at CSUSM. cQ WOULD $45,000+ HELP WITH COLLEGE? I You can earn more than $18,000 during a standard Army Reserve enlistment..

Whatever causes our stress, bad workday, bad school day, bad hair day, all seem so monumental. But h ow important are those stresses when we put them into perspective? Too often, we get stressed out with l ife's i nconveniences b ecause w e've p ut t oo much importance and attention on them. I t's not until a real crisis occurs to a loved one that we realize what it really means to have a terrible day. I found that out recently as I hurried across my c hurch's parking lot. An acquaintance, Karen Baker, stopped me and asked me to offer my prayers for her youngest son who was involved in an auto accident a few days earlier. Chris Baker, 22, was in critical condition with massive injuries. I knew Chris from the days when he and my son played on the same soccer team f or many seasons, and I had seen him and talked to him many times in church. Our two families were friends. What do you say to someone whose child is hanging onto life by a thread? I discovered there i sn't really very much, b esides o ffering s ympathy.

The Pride pride@mailhostl.c �Halloween's auspicious beginnings T T "TTalloween is not "officially" a I I holiday. No day off is given, and J L J Lno federal decree is proclaimed. Yet, Halloween has become one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals not only on the contemporary American calendar, but in the world. Halloween, or 'The day of the Dead,' as it is more aptly referred to in many cultures incorporates recognition of death as a concept with rituals that remember the deaths of individuals. The origins of this celebration derive from the ancient Celtic (Irish, Scottish, and Welsh) festival called Samhain. Samhain was the New Year's Day of • the Celts, celebrated on 1 November. It was also a day of the dead, a time when it was believed that the souls of those who had died during the year were allowed access to the land of the dead. It was related to the season: by Samhain, the crops should be harvested and animals brought in from the distant fields. Many traditional beliefs and customs around the world are associated with Samhain, most notable that night was the time of the wandering dead, the practice of leaving offerings of food and drink to masked and costumed revelers, and the lighting of bonfires, continued to be practiced on 31 of October, known as the Eve of All Saints, the Eve of all Hallows, or even Hallow Even.

Over the course of time, the spirits of Samhain, once thought to be wild and powerful, were deemed by the Catholic church to be something much worse: evil. The church maintained that the gods and goddesses and other spiritual beings of traditional religions were diabolical deceptions, that the spiritual forces that people had experienced were real, but they were manifestations of the Devil, the Prince of Liars, who misled people toward the worship of false idols. Thus, the customs associated with Halloween came to include representations of ghosts and human skeletons, symbols of the dead, the devil, witches, and other malevolent and evil creatures. The custom of trick-or-treating, however, is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called "souling". On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made from square bread with currents. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven. 26 29 52 1r &• B Y DAVID JOHNSON Thursday N ovember 6, 1997 11:00 A M - 1:00 P M Career Center C RA 4201 61 Puzzto by Alex V aughn 27 Year's record 30 Modern ink source 31 Singer Zadora 32 Item aboard a merchant ship 33 Awards for Sheryl Crow 34 Overhaul a soundtrack 35 Jean, for one 36 Witness's reply 37 Wonderwork 39 Pequod hand 40 Bell site 41 Prefix with life or wife 43 Grab 44 Tremulous 45 Park in Maine 47 Issue materiel. 49 Toronto Maple 51 Resurgently 52 Swiss eminence 53 Pigeon sound 55 Kingdome scores, for short Answers to any three clues in this puzzle are available by touch-tone phone: 1 -900-420-5656 (75* per minute) Annual subscriptions are available for the best of Sunday crosswords from the last 50 years: 1 -888-7-ACROSS. ijp CSUSM University of <§an Dicgp Lawyer's Assistant Program 5998 Alcaia Park San Diego.

Day of the Dead? Sounds gruesome! What the heck is it and why would CAPS do this? Dia de los Muertos is one of the most important and festive holidays throughout Mexico. It is a tradition built f rom pre- Columbian as w ell as C hristian sources.Long ago, it was thought that this was the time when the souls of the dead came to earth to visit, and they were welcomed with great joy and celebration. Besides community events such as parades and d ancing, f amilies c onstuct a ltars upon which are placed pictures, mementos, and favorite foods of the loved ones who have passed on. This is how the memories of our loved ones are made joyous, how fondly they are remembered. The altars are decorated with incense, flowers, candles and many other objects, including skeletons and candy or papier mache skulls. In our hearts we also thank them for what they gave us during their lifetime. Dia de los Muertos is a wonderful occasion. It is a way that the Mexican culture(s) confront death, which, according to Octavio Paz, "...revenges us against life, stripping it of all its vanities and pretensions and showing it for what it is: some bare bones and a d readful grimace." In the words of C APS' Director, Dr. Carlene Smith, "CAPS' mission involves addressing the psychological needs of students by promoting wellness of mind, body and spirit. The various peoples of the world have all developed strategies f or achieving psychological health that are prescribed in cultural ritual. In presenting the Dia de los Muertos event, CAPS affirms the wisdom with which other cultures deal with the inevitable challenges of l ife and promote health." < • mKm ~, * B || °•r • 1;! We invite you to join us in this celebration. From 10 until 2 on the Founders Plaza on the 3rd, there will be altars set up by various campus and community groups. On these altars, you will find pictures and me mentos of loved ones who have passed away, along with their favorite foods, music, flowers, candles, and incense. These altars are festive tributes to those we have: See how well we remember you! How we recall all that you gave us in your life! How lucky we have been ! At noon, there will be a brief presentation by Linda Amador, a member of our staff, about the significance of the altars. At 12:30, Professor Bonnie Bade of the Liberal Studies Program will give a presentation on the Mexican tradition surrounding this holiday. Join us!

D iscounting his b rush with d eath a f ew months ago and his recent p erformance f or the Pope* this is not the s ame man w ho made " Blowin' in the W ind" something of a folk anthem. Bob Dylan is aging f ast, and on his new album, "Time Out of M ind," he shows that he is aging gracefully and accepts that he is no longer the i nfluence he once was. If you a ren't f amiliar with D ylan's w ork,' you are missing out on some of the most influential rock music and poetry of the 20th century. Albums like "Highway 61 Revisited" and " Blonde on B londe," are timeless masterpieces of the 1960s, and necessary listening f or anyone who considers him or herself a music fan of any genre. But, as even the staunchest Dylan f ans admit, he has put out some pretty lousy al- PAGE 1 0 T H E P RIDE Still Bio win' in the Wind b ums f rom a bout 1980 o n, with only a couple of exceptions. Which brings us to "Time Out of Mind," which is D ylan's best album since 1989's spotty "Oh Mercy," and his first of original songs since 1991 ' s dismal "Under a Red Sky." Recorded before his recent illness, "Time Out of M ind" shows that Dylan still has the talent that made him a legend. His f ocus has shifted, f rom spokesman of an entire generation to a f ringe celebrity unrecognized by a majority of today's youth. H is v oice s ounds w eathered and s trained at times, but determined and compelling at the same time. The a lbum's first track, "Love Sick,' is an atmospheric and bitter tone-setter. " I'm sick of love, and I 'm,in the thick of it," s ings D ylan on t he s ong's c horus. As a whole, the album has a very bluesy feel to it. The 16-minute "highlands" is an examination of D ylan's life f rom his point of view today, and shows that he is not necessarily c omfortable with his f ading visibility and a ge, but h as c ome t o understand that he cannot relive his glory days. Dylan is not the type to bluster about in his mid-50s like the Rolling Stones do today. D ylan's strength has always come in h is honesty, and that is something it seems he will always retain. Dylan was such an overachiever early in his career that everything else he does can only pale in comparison, and he will never be able to relive his glory days. All he can d o is keep on going, and that seems to be a looming theme in the album* Musically, producer Daniel Lanois (best known as the producer f or U2) helps create a strong yet unobtrusive sonic atmosphere, and allows D ylan's voice to carry the album, which works wonderfully. "Time Out of M ind" is an essential f or the Dylan aficionado, as both another chapter in hi&musical library and as the triumphant return of a legend. It is also his most accessible album in y ears, f or the Dylan curious. But if y ou've never been exposed to early Dylan, raid the local music store's used L P section f or a couple of gems. You w on't be disappointed. The high cost of coffee: B Y J OHN RODRIGUEZ The pictures seem out of place in an upscale c offee shop. Perhaps you have noticed them as you sat waiting in your local Starbucks f or a c afe latte or f rappucino. T he h uge, poster-size photos hanging on the walls show workers, likely f rom Central America, picking c offee berries f rom trees or sorting c offee beans on long tables. The images were intended to lend atmosphere to the store, but maybe you wondered whether there were stories behind the workers. Sandra Benitez brings their world t o our eyes in her new novel, "Bitter G rounds" (Hyperion Press. 4 44 pp.). Profiled in the last issue of the Pride, Benitez shared the insights and motivations, which led her to write of her recollections growing u p in El Salvador prior to that c ountry's civil war in the ' 80s. The fictional story t hat u nfolds i n "Bitter G rounds" c ombines her e xperience as a member of the Sal vadoran upper class with A review of Bitter Grounds the stories of her f amily's campesino (peasant) servants. "Bitter Grounds" is a episodic story told through the lives of three successive generations of women from two families, the P rietos ( Mercedes, J acinta, and Maria-Mercedes) and the Contreras (Elena, Magda, and Flor). The Prietos work as domestic s ervants f or t he u pper c lass C ontreras. Benitez draws parallels and divisions between the d isparate cultural classes. The Prietos are Pipil Indians who, at the onset of the story in 1932, still speak Nahautl, the ancient language of the Aztecs. As with many Indian groups throughout the Americas, they live in poverty, exist on subsistence crops like corn and beans, and s uffer cultural discrimination and injustice. Their main source of income comes f rom laboring on vast c offee plantations f or rich landowners who often underpay them. The Contreras own one of the most prosperous plantations in El Salvador. Benitez portrays them as savvy business people who stay ahead of the market through accurate forecasting, innovation and diversity. But she also portrays thefn as compassionate people, particularly the women, who are not totally oblivious to the plight of their servants. Limited friendships within the c onfines of class division form between the corresponding g enerations of P rieto a nd Contreras women. Both families endure trials and tribulations t hroughout the n ovel, which is set f rom 1932 through 1977. T he women of the two families deal with emotional heartache over such issues as spousal relations and family strife, although admittedly oil different levels. They must also deal with the growing d omestic violence, which t hreatens their security and hurtles their tiny nation toward an uncertain future. Historically accurate, Benitez uses the events occurring in El Salvador to provide the basic timeframe f or her story. All of the described events, f rom la m atanza (the m assacre) at the beginning of the book to the government seizure of plantations near the end, really happened. It lends authenticity to the stories presented in "Bitter Grounds." Reminiscent of the Amy T an's " The Joy Luck C lub," the main thrust of B enitez's novel c oncerns the mother/daughter relationships w ithin t he P rietos a nd t he Contreras. Although their lives o ften overlap, Benitez m anages t o prevent confusion distinguishing the generations by presenting their respective lives in serial fashion, r ather than t he o ut-of-sequence m anner employed by Tan. B enitez cleverly uses a fictional radio telenovela (Spanish soap opera) to parallel and forecast the lives of her main characters throughout the book. "Bitter G rounds" uses irony and fate to link the lives of the Prietos and Contreras see Bitter Grounds page 11 �Bitter Grounds continued from page 10 tighter and tighter as the novel progresses. Despite their cultural and class differences, the families' futures intertwine until the f inal climatic convergence* which binds them to a common violent fate. Benitez masterfully writes this scene in a manner which stuns the reader, a la A lfred Hitchcock. Although "Bitter G rounds" dabbles in magic realism, the h allmark of H ispanic literature, it does not d o so nearly on the level of Rudolfo Anaya's "Bless Me Ultima" or Isabel Allende's "House of Spirits," or any number of novels written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Benitez's professed favorite author and literary influence. B ut, t his d oes not d iminish " Bitter Grounds." Rather, Benitez fashions both the characters and plot to a level that compels r eaders t o i mmerse t hemselves into the story. Fish House Vera Cruz offers fine dining If you're looking f or elegant dining in a casual atmosphere with, uh, life like surroundings, The Fish House Vera Cruz i s the perfect choice. Located in San M arcos' Restaurant Row, The Fish House takes its name seriously. It's a dimly lit, grotto-style restaurant with huge aquariums forming most of its inner walls and partitions. But the inhabitants are a far cry from goldfish and seaweed. Sand sharks, lion and clown fish, an octopus and even a huge, zebra-striped eel make up the more interesting sights p atrons can gaze upon while dining. Despite all this grandeur, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Jeans and a T shirts are just as acceptable as suits and ties. The food corresponds well with its surroundings. The menu consists completely of fish. There are no chicken or beef copouts. There is also a w onderful selection of wines to complement all dishes. T he restaurant is currently featuring a Chardonnay called La Crema f or a v e r y good price. It has a light, fruity, almost buttery flavor that goes very well with fish. It is honestly the best wine I have ever tasted. There's a small list of five or six appetizers to choose from. T he Oysters Rockefeller, in particular, is outstanding, rich enough to please any connossieun Entrees consist mainly of f resh fish, but there are shellfish options as well as seafood salads offered. But the primary focus is on fish. For side dishes, you can pick up to three, r ange f rom rice pilaf and steamed vegetables t o a green salad and soup. The swordfish is a good bet, as is the red snapper. Both are grilled to perfection and basted with a light garlic-butter sauce. The portions are good-sized and you won't leave still hungry. But, j ust in case you still have room, Fish House has a modest selection of classic desserts. Nothing too exciting, just your basic cheesecake, chocolate ganache and berry pies. However, all of this excellence doesn't come cheaply. The Fish House Vera Cruz is not a place the average student can afford m ore than once every few months. Appetizers range from $5.95 to $8.95. Entrees start at $8.95 and can go as high as $22.95. For desserts, expect to pay $3.95 to $5.95. The La Crema Chardonnay wine was priced at $21 a bottle. Altogether, it is a meal that can lighten your wallet considerably. But it is well worth it. T he food and atmosphere combines to create an unforgettable dining experience. You definitely get your money's worth. R eservations are not needed (or even taken f or parties of less than eight). The next time you want to take a few steps up f rom Taco Bell or McDonald's, you might China Wokery : A little tradition and a lot of flavor B Y A MY H UDSON There's a new restaurant in t own. T he China Wokery has recently opened its doors f or business. It is located at Old California Restaurant Row off of S an M arcos B lvd. T he s erving s ize of each m aindish platter can feed at least three people and the prices , are very reasonable. The assorted appetizer platter is an excellent way to start off dinner. This platter feeds two individuals and provides a sample of egg rolls, dumplings, spare ribs, lemon chicken and fried wontons. The price is $8.95. China Wokery has specialty platters such as Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Pork Hunan Style and T reasures of t he S ea. These platters run f rom $8.95-13.50. In addition to their specialties, China Wokery also has a large assortment of soups, salads and side orders. The price for these dishes range from $4.95-8.95. For those of you who are vegetarian, d on't count this p lace out yet. Not o nly d o t hey h ave s everal s eafood dishes, but they also dedicate a portion of t heir m enu t o vegetarian p latters. T hese i nclude S aut£ed B roccoli w ith G arlic S auce, Tofu and Mixed Vegetables, and Vegetarian Moo-Shu. Prices are $7.50 per plate. The ambiance is characteristic of a Chinese restaurant. There are many artifacts f rom the Chinese culture which decorate the walls. The restaurant has vaulted ceilings and wooden beams that allow f or a more open experience. I t's a semi-casual setting and a great place to impress a date. The wait staff is very attentive and courteous, I highly recommend the China Wokery for either lunch or dinner. Lunch prices run from $5.958.50.

Unfortunately for outsiders, this is not an event that will be open to the general public. Past events have been highly successful. Last year over 1000 people came through the quad to learn more about how to improve, maintain, and enjoy healthy lifestyles. "This program began as a way for employees to learn information about their benefits plans. Eventually students wanted to be involved in the event and have things that could benefit them as well as the staff and faculty of Cal State San Marcos," according to Event Volunteer Coordinator Phillip Lovas.

"Hopefully more students will find out more about it by next semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The courses required for this major range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and Managerial Accounting. Kern was interested in starting up this new major here at Cal State San Marcos because of his personal experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry for a little over 25 years before he came to CSUSM. Working for a large multinational and start up company, Kern was also able to hire and manage many people. All he wants now is to share what he has learned. "There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in a laboratory," said Kern when asked what are the possible TEACHERS, TUTORS NEEDED Club 72 is currently seeking tutors in Temecula/Murrieta/Escondiclo/Ramona/ Poway/Rancho Bernardo/ San Marcos/ ( ^sbad/Enckitas & O ceansuk • Watilile fours and great pay • One~on~one tutoring • A ll subjects and grade levels careers one might get from getting this degree.

If someone earns his X)t her degree in the biotech field, they wouldn't have to travel very fartofinda great career. "Science is a creation of new knowledge, and technology is the application of it," said Kern.

For some, the idea of success can come through love for others success comes in the form of money. Ian Bentley has encompassed all aspects of success as defined above.

Bentley is a student who has been able to take his opportunities and expand on them. Bentley started detailing cars in high school as an employee f or. someone else's business. It did not take him long to realize that he wanted all the profit. Through perseverance and high ambition, Bentley took the knowledge gained in mobile car detailing and manipulated it to suit his business. Bentley was the owner operator of Bentley Mobile Detail; a company which he based out of FREE North County. Bentley has a core group of cliental that he meets at their convenience. Of Bentley's many high-end clients, the former executive of General Motors is included. ' Bentley focused on corporate clients and had enough to stay busy. Bentley's clients are aware that he goes to schooLand because of that, work around his busy schedule. Bentley averages about 10 20 hours a week, making between $50 to $100 an hour; "Not only has the business paid offfinanciallybut it is the experience and networking that was fulfilling in the end," says Bentley Bentley just sold his business for $15,000 and has recently had three job offers.

With graduation just around the corner, Bentley has already accomplished more than most students his age. BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they dashed about to get the new episode filmed on schedule. Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option. Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant director on site, our campus had a "good look for the director." George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to speak with the Pride about his experience filming amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've (administration) been very helpful on everything we've needed." Even though our campus is both the youngest and smallest public university in San Diego County, he also stated that his approaches "pretty much a basic for everything, from houses tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^ that facilitates all of our needs." As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed unconcerned regarding any potential interference. Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1. Yes." " "Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday evenings on UPN. Catch Eye BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer , I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as students to examine media from a "critical" perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very front of my class and on at least every other opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture. Her intriguing ideas often compliment my own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann, and the first "Catch Eye'. Through the conversation I learned that she is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been inspired by her visits to Morocco and South America. During the course of our 15 minute conversation she finished off two cigarettes of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling me that her life is committed to "affecting real change," at which I smiled gratefully. I'm now so glad that I took the time to get beneath the surface of my insightful and mystifying classmate.

Jake Peavy for example who helped organize an event on September 10 at Petco Park. The Padres were playing a day game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so Peavy and the Padres held a fundraiser at Petco Park where people could come watch the game while participating in the relief effort. My buddy Matt suggested I write about how sports can act as an outlet of relief for the people in New Orleans. Louisiana State University was forced to move their home football game against Arizona State University from Baton Rouge to Tempe, AZ. While the game was going on in Tempe, thousands of students went to the Baton Rouge stadium to watch the game on a big screen just to take their minds off the tragedy. LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell is one person that looks forward to game time on Saturday. He has allowed roughly 20people, including R&B legend Fats Domino, to stay in his apartment, because all of them have lost their homes. For the few hours that he is on the football field he has the chance to have a normal life again. Sometimes people lose sight that athletes are people too, because they are constantly under a microscope. However, seeing the way many athletes have responded t o help the relief efforts makes you realize that these people do have a heart. Don't forget, just because you might not have the means that some of the athletes have, doesn't mean you can't help the relief effort. Any praise, criticism, or article suggestions can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride I will be honest; I had some trouble coming up with a column topic for this week. I wanted to write something on Hurricane Katrina in regards to the sports world. So, I bounced around some ideas in my head, but in the end I always came back to my opinion that sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf Coast. In an attempt tofindsomething else to write about I asked different people for column ideas. After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered and every single one of them suggested something in regards to Hurricane Katrina. My Uncle Rene told me to write about the different sports teams that are being displaced and how they have to play entire seasons on the road. The New Orleans Saints have moved their headquarters to San Antonio to try and regain some normalcy to their lives. Their entire season won't be played in front of a home crowd because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before kickoff. The New Orleans Hornets will also be playing an entire season on the road when the NBA season starts up. They will be calling Oklahoma City home for 35-of-41 games, with the other 6-games being played Free 3 Months ; No Set-up Fee t No Obligation MAILBOX Wrth Current CSUSM { RENTAL y Student/Facuity/Staff ID i Regular Price $ J0/Month Thereafter in Baton Rouge. The athletics at Tulane University are taking a big hit as well. The university is canceling the cross country season this fall while members of the football, basketball, and other teams are enrolling at universities like Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Rice. My friend Chantal told me to write about all the different athletes helping to raise money. For example, the telethon that took place on Monday, September 19 during the Monday Night Football double header. The telethon included many former and current NFL superstars such as Donovan McNabb, John Elway, and Howie Long answering telephones. Local athletes who were born in the Gulf Coast have been heavily involved in the relief process.

Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the obvious answer. Wrong!!! People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean, healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel better when I attempted to quit, end of story. Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and others like me would be forced to change. Wrong again!!! If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way, but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus? Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug? Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows, your habit or shortcoming could be next. ! ¡21111 < " ; 'i < " • i g f e i V Sä ' 4 ft life 1 ' i """ -1 <• ®iai«BiiiiiiiiSii SMOKE BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that people are more apt to kill themselves than each other. If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder. I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens. There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts. The smoker. There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent. In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and should be reserved for those with genuine special needs. I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say, however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves with such things. It seems pretty masochistic. If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging? At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention. If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't very romantic. �•bnmhnshì • • • • • • - l i l i ^¡ ¡ ^ p M M P i ^ I M M ^ M I S H B M l H -I M i ^^B • • • ^• • • I JM É t B | ^ ^ • |i ^ W Äl-^teS^^i^ B y p w ^ ^ W SH^fôffiSSS^fo*1 ¿M—t M* 'îJÊÎÏÈÊtlMI.liÊ.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Time is valuable, in-valuable for never being so infinite as we pretend to promise. This goes doubly for time alone, no matter what you do with it, or what it does to you. In between a little of both I've been fortunate enough t o have had friends, even f amily, that I could confide in. Yet, the type of relationship, the type of bond, the one whose absence tempts loneliness no matter how many surround you, no matter how complete your retreats, this has eluded me for the majority of my young adult life. Whether or not unusual, it certainly isn't unfair. I've never had proportions worth a second glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the gauntlet from intimidating back to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous) libido with an inflated tongue in a spiteful head and it seems silly that I bothered blaming too much time between chances, citing atrophy as I boiled away in my own juices, bitter and dry. There's no sympathy to be earned in this, only small wonder that I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations, yet still had enough ego left over for a sense of wasted capacity. I had all this going for me when, over the summer, I fell in love. it's usually an excuse to buy shit. I've seen no relationship, save my parents', stand the test of time, and I have no reason to believe any type of forever is ever guaranteed. 'She and I ' fell in love. And what would I have done had I not retained those punctuating moments of optimism and life-praising vulnerability? And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a thing? I'd say 'be careful what you wish for', but I don't believe in wish-granters, or external-fate for that matter. I don't buy into some magical force swooping down to turn dull, fickle livestock into living embodiments of devotion and goodness. I don't buy love as d oesn't make a damn bit of d ifference on how d eep • in it. we are.

Last week, I dropped my entire evening, drove the twenty miles, and raced through the grocer for soup and Popsicles (The good ones! Only 'Buyer's' for my baby!) at her mere suggestion of illness. She makes a servant and a real man of me whether she knows it or not and it scares me alive. I'm in love whether I deserve it or not, so I might as well like it. Sharing it, though, is another matter. How beautiful? How sweetly and intensely matched? That's something for me to know and you to dream about. By 'share' I mean how difficult it is to keep up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now' sums it up nicely. Forget the formulas and forget the idea that bitterness makes you any more attractive (or protected) than living in a hole. Frankly, you shouldn't even be fishing for this kind of thing. Better to prepare for it like a nuclear strike. I still don't know what we'll do with each other, we know this kind of connection is too rare to let inflate into infatuation, but finding time to have sole reign over my presence; it isn't easy when her absence confronts me before I can even get the car door open. Worrying about the have-have not of it aside, there are still some who would abstain, thinking it easier or more spiritually pure. They're the ones that deserve pity, not me, not you, no matter how lonely or loathsome we become. When it comes down to it, I'd spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than that found in the arms of human love'. I don't deserve it, so there's no reason you can't have it.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer / v If you hesitated to fling yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances are high that you, like myself, suspected a capitulation to the Celluloid Barons f or more mall merchandise. Perhaps you were so impressed by "The Nightmare Before Christmas", whether you saw it as a result of its sleeper success, or were lucky enough to catch it at the theater...over a decade ago (now who's feeling closer to the grave) that you now fear a gigantic let-down. Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown. Not a gigantic one, any way. Fans of stop-motion should certainly make time for the big screen experience. As digital animation rapidly becomes more life-like, and more cost-efficient, those of us who grew up with "Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse Bride" can boast, above all, some of the most expressive characters I've ever seen, including those counted among 'live' actors. Even when the proportions aren't believable, the 'puppets' in this feature are always life-like, My highest hope was to count another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who avoid musicals, but alas, the music is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse Bride" come from the opening and back-story numbers, both of which are passable on tlieir own, but simply sad when compared to "The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still haunts me. There are impressive piano-playing moments, but the few remaining songs are merely dialog rhymed into passé melody by tone-deaf characters best left as walk-ons. The overall plot remains a few steps ahead of predictable, no farther than the genuinely clever laughs stay ahead of the corny gags. Considering how long it takes to animate a single movement, and considering how the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch the narration, it seems wrong to merely call it 'too short'. Still, for all its dealings with 'love', the angles of the story's trian- Photo courtesy o f Warner Bros. gle didn't have much time to get under each others'skin. For those deprived souls who have yet to see either "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh " quite cut it as a progression.

So instead of wearing the pool of blue ink like a new medal of honor through the halls, we usually bear the heat and pull on a sweater, find a sticker or even run home to change. Don't shed artear about not being able tor wear that scribbled shirt again, there are simple solutions. Just apply any products containing alcohol, such as hairspray or nail polish remover.

Well, don't fear solutions are near. One big tip is to never let a coffee stain set in. Once it dries the harder it becomes to remove, so act f ast Either of these solutions will work: Pre-treat the stain with any commercial stain remover for one minute before washing.

The Dome is no Pizza Hut or Domino's but there is a common problem thè GREASE, even worse getting it on your clothes. Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try these thrifty ideas. Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let sit, and then wash in warm water.

Here she plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion * engineer who has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter from Berlin to New York. Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing child. When no one reports the child being seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every cabin, bin and the access point beneath and above the plane. When Julia isn't found, everybody begins to believe that Kyle is delusional. Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no record of her checking in and the morgue reports says she was killed along with her father/With hef options running out, she acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of the plane to conduct her own search. Don't worry there's a twist, which of course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you though, that it starts with an intriguing premise on the psychological genre but ends up somewhere over the rainbow. Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room," is always able to hold back her emotions just an inch. If she wanted to, she could follow through. She has mastered • the facial expressions. For example, she could be smiling but you still see fear or doubt in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents seem wasted in their small roles; I would have liked to see their characters play a bigger part in the movie. Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances. Kanye West's 'Late Registration' BY CARISSA GOAD Pride Staff Writer The latest member of the music world that almost everyone has something to say about, regarding the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation. Kanye West dropped his second album last week, premiering at number one, with 860,000 albums sold. "Late Registration," takes on a whole new sound then what is being played over today's radio waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead of music that was driven by sound beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and soul. Among my favorite songs on the new album include "Roses and Diamonds," which give the album a softer more feminine vibe. Others with a more feel good and get up to shake your booty j ams like, "Gold Digger" and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also attacks political issues and ideas in such songs as "Crack Music" and "Addiction." He came up with controversial ideas but he had to rely on others to help covey and portray this notorious lyrical content. He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common, The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "Kanye West steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder and claims the whole world of music as hip-hop turf." I listen to this entire album and agreed that Kanye is not j ust trying to be another hip artist, but rather revolutionize hip hop in another direction. Producer Jon Brion really gave Kanye what he needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."
