It has been speculated that the lack of availability is due to the statewide budget crisis, but there is another sieve that the California Faculty Association (CFA) claims is draining the CSU system, not funded by state allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses by direction of the Chancellor's Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far, CSUSM is remaining on budget and not showing any signs of trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far from finished. CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft According to the homepage of the California State University at calstate.edu, the entire system is made up of 407,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The primary representative of the faculty in the CSU is the CFA. In an email circulated to its members on Nov. 20, the CFA has issued an "urgent request" to all CFA members, asking for any kind of information and/or evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few months, the "California State Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft) computer data project." The message also reports that the "software has demonstrated poor performance history at other U.S. campuses, and that the project is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars more than its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million approximation is system-wide, there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each university were the same size, there would be a roughly $17 million average for each school to pay out of its own funding - and each campus is expected to surpass that estimate. Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project, entitled "The Future of CSU, Reclaiming the University for the People of California," involved speeches by powerful union representatives from around the state. Pauline Robinson, the director of the CSU division of the California State Employees Association (CSEA) staff union, expressed her concern about the PeopleSoft changeover. "What I think the CSU is missing here is they don't value the talent that they have in the system...They now have another partnership going.. .It's called CMS or PeopleSoft... We have Silicon talented techs in our system, but their talents aren't recognized. [The CSU seems] to think that these people are not economically viable, that they need to bring in another whole group, they need to outsource all the work, or insource our people, whichever way they're planning on going...So when you say where is the future of this CSU, I really couldn't say, because there's nothing that we can do to stop progress, but I still think that peoples' needs should be looked at and measured before you just jump into something," Robinson said. What is PeopleSoft? According to Bill Welch, an independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going way over budget happens about as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that created a multi function software package that was meant to be 'all things to all people,' according to Welch. He said, "It is a very large system and has many components, depending on [why a company needs it]." The PeopleSoft programs for higher education use basically three products. The first is a Human Resources/ Payroll Financials package, which tracks income, expenses, and assets. The second is a Student Administration package that includes student financial inforSee PEOPLESOFT, page 5 Disorganization or Fraud? ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for Edwards Cinema Management Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent in Part on Questionable Activities By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored its first free movie night for students at Edwards Cinemas in San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8 Mile. Students began to arrive at 6 p.m. and were shocked to find out that the theater personnel were unaware of the free ticket offer for CSUSM students on that evening. Problems in Planning and Organization San Marcos Edwards Cinema manager, David Landfield, was furious to find the entryway to the theater bombarded and blocked off by CSUSM students who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not authorized nor were we notified of this event," said Landfield. He further commented that for an event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for the organization (ASI) to rent the theater at a cost of $2,400. Worried students lined up outside the doors watching and listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to theater management that they had learned of this free movie promotion through flyers and e-mail. Grace, an Edwards employee who was stationed at the door, pointed out the illegali- ties of the advertisement that ASI had produced. Theflyerfeatured not only a copyrighted film advertisement that was reprinted without permission, but the name of the cinema was printed without notification and permission as well. At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI and their programming board, who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with over 100 group activity passes to purchase tickets at the box office. The tickets were bought at this time, and the programming board members who were buying the tickets were not even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers distributed at CSUSM said that only 50 tickets were going to be given out to CSUSM students, however this was not the case, as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to why the programming board members were purchasing the extra 50 tickets, they expressed concerns about riots breaking out if they denied entrance to anyone. Cinema management confronted ASI programming board members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI that he would not exercise the law and press charges against the university at this time, however he indicated that this type of event was never to occur again without permission of the theater. He further declared that the theater would be more than happy to accommodate future university-sponsored activities with proper notice and planning. ASI Programming Board Representative Brett Gladys defended their actions by saying that they had called the theater during the previous week and spoken with an employee, who had told them that there would be no problem with holding the event on the day and time requested. It was later determined that the employee was not a member of theater management and did not have the authority to permit the event, thus Gladys had been given incorrect information. Student Money for NonStudents While about 18 students said to have received aflyeror e-mail for the event, many admitted to being close friends of ASI members who had invited them to the showing. Many students who had attended in response toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge amount of people who showed up with the ASI programming board members. Programming Board and ASI members began checking school IDs and handing out tickets around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet several students were seen going See ASI MOVIE, page 4 �News Update: CSUSM Staff Responds to Registration and Administration Troubles By JULIE MYRES & ALYSSA classes because they obtained FINKELSTEIN poor attendance in the past." Pride Staff Writer & Lead Editor Wiener also indicated that, "There is a Catch 22 here in Last week, The Pride ran an some departments: If lecturers, article about the difficulties that who teach most evening and both students and faculty are Saturday classes (as they teach encountering with new registra- most classes at GSUSM), are not tion policies and administrative allowed to teach upper division changes.

Wiener (see table at right). Wiener added that, for the classrooms accompanied by asterisks, "the realistic maximum occupancy is much lower; student in back rows can see and hear poorly. These statistics are based on Academic Scheduling's chart for the second week of the term. More classes might have been added." This information is based from statistics taken from this Fall 2002 semester.

He said, "a basic foreign language class [was scheduled during] the first few weeks in ACD 102, a large lecture hall. At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even had a wheelchair-bound student. If you are in such an unsafe classroom, you should report it to Regina Frasca, Director of Risk Management and Safety." In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound concern among The Pride and many students regarding the decision-making of the use of these classrooms. CSUSM administrator response to statistics previously reported The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director of Enrollment Services. In an email sent to Staff Writer Julie Myres (the author of last week's article), Riehl said that, "Your article pointed out the challenges we face as a rapidly growing university." Riehl also pointed out a few Capacity Building / Room # ARTS 101 (VPA classes only) 60 200 ARTS 240 145 ACD 102 80* ACD 104 90* ACD 305 65 UH 100 56 UH 360 60 UH 370 66 UH 373 clarifications about the information printed last week. He said that, "Our enrollment this fall was 7,627, not "just fewer than 7,000," and he also clarified that SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of 2003. The original information reported last week was based on various estimated numbers that were reported by members of the administration and the CSUSM website. The SDSU information was originally gathered from the Union Tribune, however an article published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday December 6,2002 also corrected the SDSU statistic. It also turns out that the FTES numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These numbers make no sense at all, although I think I know where you got them. The 5,066 was the actual FTES count for last spring. The 6,627 number was the headcount for last spring. We project this spring's FTES count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents a decline from 5,810 FTES and 7,627 in the fall. We stopped taking admissions applications for spring earlier than ever in our history to attempt to bring enrollment down closer to our funding level." The information published earlier was gathered originally from a member of Usage 39% 36% 32% 40% 45% 40% 55% 53% 51% personnel at the College of Art and Sciences. Editor's Note: This article is definitely covering a controversial subject that has brought attention to students, faculty, and administration. Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and faculty members were granted with complete anonymity in the original article. One reason there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack of information openly published for student use. The Pride found many sources of information that contradicted each other and did its best to get the correct information for the article. It is apparent that Pride staff writers are frequently given incorrect information by staff and faculty who do not realize the implications of the information they are distributing. This has happened several times during this semester when writers have approached sources for stories. Correct information could be more easily reporteddn the future if faculty and staff as well as students, try to remember that The Pride is also growing (alongside the university) albeit with only one journalism course and no program to support it.

The rule applies only to first-time freshman and to lower division transfer students with fewer than 60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at 11:59 p.m., applications for these two prospective groups were closed, however applications from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and graduate students are still being accepted. ASI ment within our funding." Despite the closing of the admission process, Richard Reihl, executive director of enrollment services, said that CSUSM allowed a few extra days for students wanting to enroll in this university. "The deadline allowed for some flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open enrollment period established by the California State University ended November 30, 2002. We've allowed a few extra days as a grace period for those whose applications might have been delayed for one reason or another, but we now must stop accepting applications because of our need to manage enroll- students due to the budget deficit. "Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from transfer students," expressed Riehl. According to Riehl, since Dec. 5 more than 4,300 applications had been received from potential freshman students. This equals the number of applications received from freshman for the entire 2002-2003 academic Because of the increasing popyear, and this time the applica- ularity of CSUSM, Riehl said, tions were accepted all the way "We recommend that students through July. file their applications materials as soon as possible."

He added, "To do that, we may have to slow down the number of new students entering the university until we have more resources available." Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment for the 2002-03 academic year, and it is currently struggling to balance its funding with its teaching and service obligations. Furthermore, with the prospect of reductions in state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus has started to adopt a cautious approach to admissions, which might leave many prospective students out of the university.

He also added that in May of2000, the CSUSM President's Cabinet approved a 6-year project plan, which began during the fiscal year 2000/2001 (sometime between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001). Cal State San Marcos has chosen a phased implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the program] are phased in, we are training our staff." According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to "complete implementation of the [Human Resources], Finance, and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment." Contrary to CFA accusations that the CSU campuses are outsourcing talent, Veres has been an employee of CSUSM since 1992, and he says that all members of the CSUSM CMS/ PeopleSoft implementation team are employees of the university. However, he admitted that "we do contract with some consultants but only for very short periods of time - 1-3 days at a time - and only when we need help through some functional or technical detail." The CSUSM website has a link for the invoicing of PeopleSoft trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/ T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot be opened by anyone without a password. Employees are not issued passwords until they have completed the training required by the program. Needless to say, very few people on the CSUSM campus actually have access to this information. CSUSM Domestic Violence Loses Norm Event Brings Awareness to Campus Nicholson CSUSM sociology students educating other college student's about domestic violence and sexual assault By RIACUSTODIO Arts Editor Cal State San Marcos is hosting a Domestic Violence Informational Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 10-11. Staff from the Women's Recourse Center (WRC) of Oceanside and counselors will be on hand in Founders' Plaza from 9 a.m.3 p.m. to answer any questions regarding domestic violence and sexual assault.

All events are free and open to the public. On Tuesday a nd. Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. in Academic Hall 404, panel discussions will focus on different issues, ranging from local services that are available to victims and their families to local law enforcement, detailing their involvement in domestic violence. CSUSM Professor Valerie Callanan of the sociology department expressed that Tuesday's panel will discuss informative issues dealing with criminal justice response to domestic violence. Topics discussed on Wednesday's panel will overview information dealing with local services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

By BRIAN FISHER Pride Staff Writer Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean of instructional and information technology services, spends his last weeks at CSUSM after nine years of campus technology achievements. Dr. Nicholson immigrated to America from Scotland at age 18. His constant interest in engineering got him jobs in aerospace technology. After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted to working for the Santa Ana School District as a teacher, and then moved to a community college. in California. CSUSM has even become the email service provider for the new Channel Islands campus. With over 2,000 computers networked together at CSUSM, wireless access and new computers, it has become one of the leading technology schools in Southern California. Norm says he is confident in his staff and believes the school will be in good hands. He explains, "I'm leaving the university in very good shape!' Nicholson described why he decided to leave CSUSM. "I've worked long enough. I've spent 9 years here, and a whole career of 30 some years before that in other places. I just decided now it's time I can afford to. Its time to find out if there's life after work! I've worked really hard almost all my life and I'd like to see what else there is. I'd like to spend more time playing golf and spending time with family." His interest in Cal State San Marcos sparked after he discovered that many older schools were shutting doors on innovative thinkers and ideas. Norm wanted a fresh start with people "who were willing to push the envelope of instructional technology."

Their latest album, entitled "Riot for Romance," has had quit a bit of success, landing them their last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' back in October. "No Knife's" latest tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band a chance to play some songs from their new album, and also gave Desjean a chance to not attend school for a few weeks. About the challenge of going on a tour and attending school at the same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when we toured extensively. Now that I am at Cal State it's all about touring during the summer, or doing short runs here and there so I don't miss too much work. It can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I feel I could be doing a album. Last Halloween, Desjean left his class in a hurry to get down to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach where all band members dressed up and played the Halloween party.

Our Neighbors Show Support: They Too th Remember September 11 By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer To this day, America still sits and waits to see if the current administration will decide whether or not to take this country into a full-scale war. Meanwhile, Mexico and Canada's people say to support America, although they would not want to see any harm come to this country. A war on this land could very well cause harm to their borders, especially if the United States is dealing with an enemy that is capable of using chemical warfare - warfare that will not only take out the soldiers fighting but also the innocent people at home who fight to keep their country going.

He said that he does not want there to be war, but if there be one he would support America. "What happened last year was not right that day or any other day. Terrorists hurt your country, other countries and my home country. It is not an American war. It is the world's war against terrorists." Further east, in the mall of the town of Kelowna, people expressed feelings about the possible war that faces America. One person stood out in her answer, Bianca Hughes. Hughes said, "I am Canadian and proud, but if for some reason I had to say I was something else I would say an American. I mean we are like Americans but on the other side of the border. If America goes to war I hope they win. If the war comes to American soil then I hope that the Canadian army helps with whatever." In a town called Hope a women working the cashier at the highway gas station responded, " You Americans should bomb the terrorists, they should pay for what they did. I know someone who died in the twin towers." Even farther east, in the small town of Vernon, the last stop before heading back to Vancouver, Canadians were also very supportive of the Americans. They answered with passion as if their own country, was attacked. Heidi Lee, a 19-year-old nursing student, said, "When I saw the news and watched those planes crash my heart dropped. I was so sad when I could see people falling from the tops of the buildings. It is not fair, terrorists are cowardly people, there is no combat in terrorism." �Chimpanzees Progression in the World Ruben Science Fleet Center: J ane Goodwall's Wild Chimpanzees By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor through the film as the dominator of his companions, showing force in order to establish his Jane Goodwall's Wild Chim- rule over the group. panzees, an IMAX film featured at Ruben H.

Then she counterparts, and is depicted presents a couple of questions to the audience. One question that Goodwall makes is "why don't we consider chimpanzees human beings?" Another question is "what differences are there really between human beings and chimpanzees?" There is no doubt that chimpanzees walk on their hands as opposed to humans, showing a difference between the two. However, Goodwall points out that the differences among humans and chimps are minimal. In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans and chimps has been the notion that human beings can reason and pass down knowledge to their children—this assumption no longer exists in the realm of understanding. Goodwall discovered that chimpanzees have learned to make tools with which to hunt their prey, such as ants. This knowledge of hunting, chimpanzees have passed down from their mothers during the seven years where baby chimps need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar to children's development with their mothers. This reasoning and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot reason or teach baby chimps. With regard to whether people should consider chimpanzees a species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that chimps are closely related to, or even actually are, human beings. The research can be used to study the evolution of human beings, because the chimps may be the best example of how human beings in fact evolved from chimpanzees. gallery experience.

These organizations seek assistance from the student body, faculty and staff in the form of donations of toys, non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three holiday drives and one fund raising campaign will all be held on campus and the specifics and contact information are listed in the paragraphs to follow. Angel Tree Toy Drive Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis, is an international student community service organization that helps to foster leadership skills and provide community services to children. For the 11th year this organization has sponsored the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With organizational help from the Black Student Union and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Circle K International plans to provide toys for local non-profit organizations. Organizers of the drive intend to make Christmas a little merrier for a San Marcos home for boys. This particular home was designed to house young men that have been aban- front of Craven 4107, Commons 207B and University Hall 400.

There was a huge Christmas celebration, and al) the children were giddy. Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th annual City of San Marcos' Christmas celebration, known as Santa's Magical Village, which lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9: 00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center. With the celebration geared toward younger children, who always seem to have a double dose, of the Christmas spirit, events were there to keep adults occupied as well. Those in attendance had the opportunity to view and purchase a variety of arts and crafts, all displayed by children dressed as elves and vendors throughout the village. holiday music.

Of course As the evening grew darker, a fire engine's bullhorn announced that it was time for the Christmas tree lighting. With everyone leaving the village in order to gather around the tree, positioned in a grassy park just shy of the parking lot, all awaited to see the spectacle. When the crowd was large enough, the firemen flipped the switch and the tree came to life with a mediocre display of a few strands of Christmas lights. Nonetheless, the children who were still energetic from all the caroling and sweets were thrilled at the tall tree. all items displayed were for sale carols.

However, it did not break the momentum of the play, which the spectators were able to perceive and comment. "It was wonderful, funny and very well organized. I did not know anything about this Mexican tradition, because I am from Guatemala, but I enjoyed it a lot," said Ana Gonzalez, who came with some other Palomar College students to see the play, The Visual and Performing Arts departments' Arts and Lectures series, in conjunction with the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE), showed from Thursday through Saturday its 2nd annual presentation of the play, La Pastorela. On Thursday and Friday the presentation took place at 8: 00 pm, on Saturday there were two performances at 2:00 and 8: 00 pm. Directed by Dora Arreola and adapted by Ursula Tania, this traditional Mexican performance is a religious story that was first introduced to Mexico in the sixteenth century to teach native people about Christianity. The central idea in this adaptation is that no matter how hard the devil and his wife Luciferina try to impede the shepherds from going to Bethlehem to adore the way it shows the temptations that child Jesus, the shepherds tri- Satan offers the good people who want to follow God's purposes. umph over evil.

Professor Marcos Martinez, Associate Professor of Theater from CSUSM was in charge of the stage production. Martinez invited the public in general to participate in the next year presentation, since they are planning to perform it every year. He also gave special thanks to the Bravo Foundation, the Escondido Swap Meet and the CECUT (Centro Cultural Tijuana/Tijuana Cultural Center) for their support. The play was worth the $10.00 cost per person. Well done and congratulations to all the artists and all the people that participated in the creation of this lovely, yet hilarious play! Can I Stay up to See Santa? By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer child question whether Santa is real or not? Is it that they did not like the presents they got the year before "Is Santa Clause real?" or is it that the stories of St. Nick have been so radically transformed This question has been asked to during the years that it is difficult to almost every parent at least once in believe in them anymore? his or her lifetime. Many parents are not ready to look straight into a The history about St. Nick dates child's face and tell them that Santa as far back as the fourth century, is not real. Yet who are parents to when a wealthy Christian bishop judge what is real and what is not made a name for himself by giving real? Many parents of today are too many gifts to poor children. A fter wrapped into working all the time his death, the Christian church that they don't rejoice and see the named Dec. 6 a day of remembrance world around them, let alone figure for the bishop. He then became known as Father Christmas and was out if a Santa really exists. from that point forever linked with In today's day and age, parents the holiday. Like his name, Santa have stopped believing in something Clause, his attire was not always in which they have believed for all the standard red and white suit that of their childhood. What makes a we know of today; it changed from story to story. Some stories had him wearing a purple or blue suit, and other stories called him an elf. In the 1930's, Coca Cola officially hired Santa Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa Clause as the Santa that we know today, sporting the traditional red and white company colors. Many of the stories that came about from this bishop were based on legends and mythical creatures. One legend, which is known, is that he carried around a bag-full of toys and rode on a flying sled that was pulled by reindeer. In 1822 Clemente Moore wrote a series of poems and named all the reindeer that pulled the sled. Although Rudolph was not one of the eight original reindeer that Moore described, he was the most popular. Rudolph was merely a byproduct of the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May. Advertising plays a major role in our life by shaping our beliefs and traditions. Many times it is hard to tell whether an event from the past really happened or not, because of the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much. So next time when a child looks at you with their big brown eyes and asks you the question I asked in the beginning of the article, think about the ramifications it could have if a child does not have hope.

Porpoise pens and other porpoise memorabilia started showing up around the office but he didn't. His arrogant behavior was trying to cover up the fact he had poor writing skills and in the long run was fired. This is just one incident that shows how High School English is important. Not all jobs need college but in most jobs, reading and writing are needed. So here are the facts: US History of Literature I & II and English Literature I & II are required courses that have not been offered in the evening at all since I have been attending CSUSM. I can understand that there are not a lot of electives offered but it would really help if the required courses were offered in the evening. Not all of them, but a series offered on some sort of yearly rotating basis would be nice. teaching where my starting salary will be $36,000 since I can't really leave the San Diego area.

I have been attending CSUSM Starting my day at around 6:00am and ending it at around 9:00pm, as I walked across Palomar's parking lot, I found myself thinking on a regular basis, Long Day's Journey Into Night. It felt okay, though, because somehow I thought I would be rewarded, and I passed on all the weekend events that I was invited to because studying needed to be done. question. Plus, if you are attending classes in the evening, it's really hard to just stop off on your way in because evening traffic is tough and it's usually a sprint from the parking lot to get to class on time. Let's try some other departments. The Career and Assessment Center has the same hours asfinancialaid office. The parking permit office hours are 9:00-5:00, Monday through Thursday and closes early on Friday. Everything closes early on Friday, which makes me think: couldn't they stay open later one night to compensate for leaving at 2:00 or 3:00 on Friday? The Community Service Learning Center hours are also 8:00-5:00. Here is another really important department especially for me, the Writing Center; this also closes at 6: 00. I have never been there and my professors are concerned that I can't write a formal argumentative paper. Actually, I am concerned too, unfortunately I can't get any help! I feel that something's lacking regarding the importance relating to the power of the written word. That and evening students are not wanted at CSUSM. Of course, I really should have known exactly what I wanted to do when I was 20; I did but that Country Western singer thing didn't work out!

It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. When I was a smoker we were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke in people's faces but I did smoke in buildings. I quit smoking while attending a junior college. Our college was putting into effect a smoke free campus. I was even on the committee. I fought hard for smoker's rights. One thing did come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away from the people traffic, most of them were in parking areas. Smokers complained at first, but were great after a while. The only problem we were having was who was going to be the 'cops'. I know they have solved the problem by now though. But now for CSUSM, the smokers definitely need to get away from the doors and hall ways. The smoke is quite disturbing. I also hold by breath when walking by these students. I am an asthmatic and the smoke does irritate my lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to put the ashtrays away from the buildings. They need to be in open areas. When it rains, we all have umbrellas. To smokers: Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways. Smoke in open areas and try to quit. It will save your life. I watched my mother and her husband die because of smoking and it was a very ugly sight. I was not ready to quit at the time but it wasn't much longer before I did. Our campus has many resources when you are ready to quit. Dorothy Bruno Senior-LTWR The Smoke i nthe Air Forget about finals, midterms, papers, or cramming for surprise quizzes; my biggest struggle is breathing. Every morning I struggle to make it up the numerous flights of stairs leading to the campus, only to face the clouds of cigarette smoke that hang in the air morning, noon, and night. Which is why I was so pleased to see Steven Zamora's article "Cigarette Smoking: A School Problem" in the last issue of the Pride. This article addressed the problem... I feel that I must strenuously address the problem of smoking on campus. Aside from the issi^e of second hand smoke which I do feel is a pressing concern, the issue of students with respiratory problems (myself included) are at risk to dangerous toxins that have severe negative effects. in order to get a small amount of oxygen into my lungs.

It just recently has come to our attention that starting January 1, 2003, all children at the ELC will be required to attend five days a week, and half-days will be eliminated after March 1. years and were looking forward to graduating with their class in May. You are shutting out parents who have been heavily involved in volunteering their time and making donations to the school. Do you realize that the tuition increase for non-funded community parents who have their children in three days a week part-time will be from $216 a month to $640 a month? And even if a family could afford it, not everyone wants their children in preschool full-time. A large number of children at the ELC attend two or three days a week, half day. The availability of this schedule is part of the reason the ELC is such a terrific program. Many parents use the ELC as a quality preschool experience for their children, not as a full-time day care setting. What is disturbing is that these changes were made without soliciting any input from the non-funded families. We were not invited to the grant meeting where the reasons for the ELC dropping the CDE Preschool Grant were discussed. These changes came as a total shock to many, and it is upsetting to think that our children may not be able to finish out their The ELC is, hands-down, the best preschool last semester at the ELC. program in North County.

Dozens of public places have adopted policies where they have designated certain areas as smoking zones, and have left others as smoke free areas; couldn't Cal State San Marcos do the same? Thanks, Alison Sayer Freshmen La Pastorela According to Rick Moore's latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire, he states that our publicly funded university is going to play host to Pastorela: a traditional Mexican holiday. This original Spanish production brings together Cal State San Marcos students and community members in a festive presentation of a traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time understanding why and how this religious "production" that has its roots in Christianity, can actually be allowed to be presented on campus. Is it because its organizers thought that it is harmless? A fter all, aren't they just "getting in the spirit of Christmas?" Doesn't this _ production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would hopefully be relegated or limited to being shown in a church rather than the academy??

The preschool has run into fiscal difficulty, and as a result, drastic changes in the childrens' class schedules are being implemented next semester. I am forwarding you a copy of a petition that I am currently circulating at the preschool, protesting these changes. I will be delivering the petition to Keith Speers, Executive Director of ASI, at 10 am on December 12. While the majority of students at CSUSM are not parents, these changes at the preschool are of major concern to the students and staff members who are. Starting March 1, all student parents will be required to have their children The result of these changes is that the preschool will become inaccessible to most parents due to scheduling and monetary constraints. It undoubtedly will spell the end of the program in the long run, which will mean student parents will not have a campus preschool option for their children. This issue may be a deciding factor of where to attend school for many student parents. I wanted to share the information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

Senior By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Executives Charged With From gas-guzzling SUV's to penny-pinching economy cars, CSU San Marcos students journey from far off places in an attempt to receive their college education. Many mothers, fathers, sons and daughters struggle to get to campus in hopes that their education will one day increase their status on the economic ladder. With this in view, many students have wondered why San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool for students. Unethical Activities A large sample of the academic leaders in the community of Cal State San Marcos were asked what social issue they care about most. The following are the responses of those professors interested enough to formulate a reply. By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In March 2003, the California State Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft). Among the findings of the report are potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well as an inappropriate handling of funds that may have negative effects on the CSUSM students and faculty. "I am most concerned about the narrow focus on the individual - to the detriment of the community - in the United States these days. Too many people who enjoy the benefits of living in the US — the standard and quality of living, the civil liberties, the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more for themselves, without recognizing that in doing so, they may be depriving others in this country - and certainly many folks in other countries - of access to the fundamental needs for survival We do not \get it' that our lives are inextricably linked to the lives of people in virtually every country in the world - we need them as much as they need us (it's called complex interdependence) - and we should be civil and considerate of their needs" -Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science Conflict of Interest The report, initiated last spring by State Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell) and State Assembly member Manny Diaz (D-San Jose) at the request of the California Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of interest resulted in two CSU system senior executives, involved with the decision making process in acquiring technological supplies and services for the entire CSU system, engaging in potentially unethical behavior, some of which is unlawful. ees to disclose their personal assets and income. According to the report, the CSU system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over the relationship between CMS and the CSU system. California State Auditor Elaine Howie, discovered that two CSU system executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s eight-step analysis to determine whether an individual has a conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act of 1974. According to the eight-step analysis, any public official, including all employees of the CSU system, may not make, participate in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government decision, such as the procurement of CMS/ PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have reason to know, that the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material, financial effect on their economic interests." One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor David Ernst, who participated in the CMS procurement, which occurred in April of 1997, received income and compensation from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating meetings prior to the procurement, and for consultation fees after the procurement.

Vanpools leave and arrive at various times allowing students to get to class early and leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m. Although none of the university vanpools are f ree of charge ($50 a month), they provide students with economical and practical alternative methods of transportation. A high percentage of CSU San Marcos students are commuters. Traveling from as far as Temecula and Costa Mesa, Chula Vista and San Ysidro can be a strenuous process. Sociology senior Shana Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool. They probably aren't doing it because it would affect parking sales." Liberal Studies major and Temecula resident Matt Mestas expressed this same frustration with the J&e RIDE SHARING, page 5 �P eopleSoft E ditorial Staff E ditors-in-chief Alyssa Finkelstein 8c M artha Sarabia D esign 8c P hoto E ditor Desmond Barca N ews E ditor Gail Tarantino F eature E ditor Jennifer Acee A rts E ditor Chris Martin O pinion 8c A ssistant D esign E ditor Jason Padilla S panish E ditor ^ M artha Sarabia S ports E ditor Jessica G raduate I ntern 1 S taff W riters J ared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jeanne ft« Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel M artin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie Myres, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Ciindifi; Diana K.

By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer What Students Are Saying After years of hard work, stress, and mind throbbing yet gratifying accomplishments, many graduating seniors are required one last tedious duty: the graduation portfolio. Faculty and students have different opinions; both are left with the same question regarding how both the administration's expectations for the portfolio, as well as the expectations of students, can be successfully achieVed. The graduate portfolio is required for six different majors at CSUSM, including the multiple subject, liberal arts, and single subject waiver program in social science, history, literature and writing studies. (LTWR), math, and science. These are the degrees a student would obtain if s/he chooses to apply to a credential program. A portfolio consists of four original papers, complete with faculty comments from various semesters throughout CSUSM studies, as well as a 3-4-page reflection for each of the four entries. The final bound product is required to be turned in no less then one month before graduation. A flurry of chit-chat regarding this portfolio can be heard in many upper division classes on campus. These are the voices of angry seniors who feel that the portfolio requirement is just one more set of hoops they must jump through in order to satisfy the administration. Many feel that they were not warned about the graduation portfolio, and therefore had not felt the need to save their original papers. LTWR senior Nichole Jester said, "I just found out about them last semester and have not saved nearly enough work to represent my true challenges and intellect. Liberal studies major Gail Tarantino shares this concern as she "found out about the portfolio by word of mouth and by the liberal Studies blue sheet." Tarantino says that not once had any counselor or advisor mentioned it to her. The lack of communication between the faculty portfolio advisors and the students does not stop there; students are also expressing their frustration with its overall effectiveness. "I think it's pointless - the papers we turn in are already According to Susie Cassel, graded. If I turn in papers the original purpose if of that received an 'A' from my this portfolio was to act as an professor, whoever looks at the evaluative and reflective tool portfolio isn't going to fail my from which a student may portfolio," argued Tarantino. track their growth.

With an audience of approximately twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the CSUSM office of communications mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war with Iraq. The panel included Kent Davy, editor in chief of The North County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an Arab and Islam expert and editor of Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer and publisher of The Californian, the Riverside counterpart to The North County Times. In his opening statement, Davy referred to the embedded rules that journalists were expected to follow. Only two journalists violated these rules and were asked to leave; one being Geraldo Rivera. An audience member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control the media, to have certain agendas put forth. Was there a plan to spyfold information? Were correspondents taken out of line if they didn't act correctly?" Rienke answered, "Reporters did not have the time to think of other messages unlike in Vietnam."

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM university police department is offering new student identification cards to students who currently have their social security on their school ID. This change was made by administration in the middle of the fall 2003 semester. Thus, any student who has gotten an ID after that time should have a randomly selected number in place of the social security number. This change is in response to only one known person's request, made by a student with concern for the privacy of students' social security numbers.

According to an article published in The Pride during the fall 2003 semester, Jonathan Poullard, dean of students at CSUSM, was quoted as saying, "We are working to immediately phase out the use of SSNs on student IDs."

By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The X-men sequel is one of the best adventure movies of recent years, better than the first, if not quite as much fun as last years' Spiderman. As an action movie, it delivers the requisite effects and action sequences, which are very impressive. Fine acting and attention to character make the movie unique and more memorable than most comic book movies. The characters are all greatly expanded from both their comic counterparts and the first movie, actually giving an emotional feeling to the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but possibly a little confusing to non-fans. While the first movie suffered from a pretty threadbare plot, this one may have a little too much. The film does an outstanding job of juggling the several storylines, even managing to tie them all together in a logical way. However, there are an awful lot of characters here- nearly everyone from the first movie returns, and every one of them evolves in some way. There are also several new characters, whom are also given an awful lot of plot and character burden. The best moments are of character interaction. Unfortunately, these moments are too often lost in the big action set pieces. material condescendingly. Not here. Nearly every returning character improves. On a particular note, the X-women- Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn Stamos all have a lot more screen time, and all make the most of it. However, Hugh Jackman makes the deepest impression as Wolverine. He is a natural at showing all sides of Wolverine's personality and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both bring classical acting skills to elder mutants Magneto and Professor X respectively. Among the new actors, Cummings has a very bad German accent, but he is good when it counts, as in his scenes with Storm. Brian Cox, as the hammy villain Stryker, was pretty annoying, though. The special effects and set pieces don't disappoint. From the opening scene of Nightcrawler attacking the White House to the duel between Wolverine and the similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is exciting and very well directed. The mutant's powers look realistic most of the time. The familiar settings that the mutants move through make their powers both unreal and strangely believable. Also impressive is the movie's depiction of telepathy, which is sorely underused as a superpower in film. The cacophony of voices Jean Grey is forced to hear give Jannsen one of her best moments. The It's not that you lose track of anyone. makeup on some characters is jarring, but But- well, take one of the new characters, impressive, and helps visualize the themes Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler.

This provides very betrayals of the human world. The scenes emotional undercurrents, particularly in a between them are fascinating, with some "coming out" scene, where young Iceman very strong romantic undertones, and you reveals his mutant abilities to his family. start to wonder where their relationship Magneto represents the oppressed that could lead.

MacDonald's "Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer In 1964 author John D. MacDonald brought one of fiction's most imposing characters into existence. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" to this day represents perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of paperbacks. McGee first makes his appearance in MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye." MacDonald describes his creation as, "That big loose-jointed boat bum, that slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man named Travis McGee." Throughout the Travis McGee series MacDonald does a wonderful job with his descriptions of McGee as well as the other characters and situations that populate McGee's world. McGee is a harmless rogue who lives At one level McGee is the ultimate male aboard a large houseboat the "Busted fantasy character, a competent and indeFlush", which he won in a poker game. pendent non-conformist who lives entirely Our hero earns his living by retriev- by his wits and answers to no one.

The novels themselves are fast-paced and compelling. John D. MacDonald brought a wealth of experience to the Travis McGee series, having been a writer of suspense and science fiction for many years. MacDonald had earned his chops in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and economical and he can bring startling plot twists seemingly out of nowhere without the appearance of their being forced or contrived. During and immediately after WWII MacDonald served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor agency to the CIA. This may be the source of the detail and realism that pervades the "Travis McGee" series. The "Travis McGee" series is a classic in the detective novel genre and proof that the late John D. MacDonald was one of the twentieth century's master novelists. o CLASSIFIEDS 760-724-9423 EGG DONORS NEEDED Ages 19-29, $4,000 Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families 800-790-7633 PILLOWTOP MATTRESS SETS - BRAND NEW Orthopedic Mattress+Box.

While the efforts of The Pride may seem disjointed to some, the fact remains that students are free to write, rant, vent, or criticize anything that they choose. It's th^t freedom that the administration has sought to squelch. They cut the funding for the graduate intern, without whom the class cannot run. They cut it after the instructor applied for the funding for next year. That round goes to the administration. Without a free press, the game is lost. There is no question that our institution of higher education has ecome an institution of higher Ifees. Larger classes with fewer lass offerings are promised for the all semester. Educators are quiting, and presumably, moving on to niversities and colleges that place 'a higher value on the quality of education than does our own CSUSM.

Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies Department teacher at CSUSM said, "Unfortunately, much of the emphasis in education reform efforts is narrowly placed in improving schooling practices (e.g., instruction and curriculum) and not in addressing simultaneously the social context of education (e.g., poverty and exclusion)." I disagree. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational fundamentals of instruction and curriculum. Too much emphasis is placed on tolerance, diversity, and a host of other social and political issues which become irrelevant in a society that can't read, write, add, or think critically. Comments like Mr. Riquelme's cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college students. They are becoming less and less qualified to compete in the world because they have been shortchanged in their education. The teachers and professors who love learning and teaching are leaving the public school system. They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be free t o teach academic subjects to* students who want to be there, and be paid by parents who appreciate their talents. The disintegration of the grounds, the poor planning displayed by the administration in where l o hold which class, the lack of interest in what the students need, and the devaluation of the diploma, indicate a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong teaching staff, respect for students' time and money, and a newspaper that is free to print whatever is news, diversity and social issues are moot. It's too bad we can't all just take a semester off, and let the administration deal with that cash flow problem. 2003 CSVSM graduation May tT, 2003 May t?, 2006 Consolidation* At&l ! !
