The War Debate
Strong Emotions in a
Sensitive Time
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The College Republicans
and Progressive Activist
Network (PAN) hosted the
War Debate
Wednesday
at the Mezzanine Plaza
in a collaboration that is
considered rare because of
their differing ideologies. The
debate was held to discuss the
different aspects of the war,
f rom both a conservative and
a liberal perspective.
The event was mediated
by each of the College
Republicans
and PAN
presidents, Sean Mattingly and
Manal Yamout respectively.
Each organization supplied
one speaker to debate the
war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer
and former chairman of the
California Republican Party
represented the sentiments
of the College Republicans.
Sean Bell, veterans advocate
and vice president of the San
Diego Veterans for Peace,
chapter 91, spoke on the behalf
of PAN. Bell is also a former
marine who served actively
in 1990-1994, including time
in Iraq.
shouting and name-calling
at both speakers. Steel
commented that the protestors
had a "complete separation
from reality" and a "hatred
of America." Several students
yelled back "Who hates
America?" In response to the
question, "Why has this war
inspired the biggest anti-war
movement?" Steel responded
that is was not anti-war but
"pro-tyranny." A student
yelled that the debate was
a "travesty, [that] students
should be speaking, [and
that] there [was] too much
control."
Both Mattingly and Yamout
repeatedly asked the audience
to be respectful, but it was
often out of their control.
The speakers did not always
disagree. Bell commented
on anti-war speeches given
by former Presidents James
Madison
and
Dwight
Eisenhower, to which Steel
conceded that they were
appropriate
references.
They also agreed that
questioning the government
was not anti-patriotic. Bell

During the 1930's, Nazis burned
the works of famous intellectuals in
an attempt to keep their words and
thoughts from corrupting the citizenry.
It has been 70 years since this infamous
book-burning, but book burnings still
occur in this country on rare occasions,
one of the most recent taking place in
January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and
some of Shakespeare's works, claiming
that they were "satanic depictions."
Book burning was more effective
before the days of mass printing, and
is currently used primarily as a shock
tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been
much more common. Using legal means
to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity
laws, regulating their own punishments
and standards, which applied to books,
devices, and films.
» —••
|
In 1957, the Supreme Court declared
that if a work of art had significant social
value, it was not obscene. The case was
revisited in 1960, when the Court added
that it was necessary to censor material
"lacking in social value" or that was "no
essential part of the exposition of ideas."
This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not
defensible by the First Amendment.
Schools and public libraries often ban
books with questionable content that
they consider obscene. In the interest of
protecting minors, local school boards
have authority in deciding whether or
not a work is obscene in their district.
In the decentralized educational system,
small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After
the implication of the Pico standard in
1975, where a high school student took
his school board to court for banning a
book, school boards are allowed to ban
works based on vulgar content, but not
for subversive ideas. When presenting
the case for banning a book, pressure
groups have to be careful to attack the
work's content, not its ideas.

a total of 2,781 cases of
SARS worldwide, with 170

Book Burners
Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the
struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against
Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the
historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having
violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between
Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax
County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate
depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter
books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and
witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and
something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with
the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

partisan disapproval." When asked if a special interest group,
such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked
that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such
request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not
to say we would agree to remove the book."
Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at
the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding
to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies
which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law
claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering
software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to
constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the
act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed
in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the
American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law.
Among the most frequently banned books in public school
libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK
Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual
content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship. A

Where's The Booze?
Part 2: The
Administration
By DAVE WERTH
Pride Staff Writer
The quest for knowledge
as to the history and idea of
a potential pub at CSUSM
continues. A small percentage of a powerful and
growing student voice has
been expressed thus far,
and now the issue becomes
clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers
the question: Where's The
Booze?
CSUSM Senior Director
for Health, Counseling,
and Disability Services
Susan Mitchell was more
than delighted to help
answer this question. She
noted that the San Marcos
campus is by no means a
dry campus. In fact, with
proper approval, beer and
wine may be served on
campus. In addition, the
new student housing will
not have a prohibition on
alcohol.
There is, however, a long
list of rules that accompany these allowances.
Policy states that alcohol
consumption is allowed in
student housing, as long
as the person is at least
21 years old. In addition,
large quantities of alcohol
may not be brought into
the housing. These large
quantities pertain mostly
to kegs of beer. How the
school plans make a judgment on large quantities of
hard alcohol and wine is
somewhat of a mystery.
The school policy for
alcohol
consumption
on campus differs dramatically from the student
housing policy. Alcohol
consumption by anyone
on the CSUSM campus
is prohibited, even if the
person is 21 years of age.
The exception to this rule
is if alcohol is being served
at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a
school sponsored function,
and with approval from the
president's office. Approval
for consumption of alcohol at such an event must
be requested at least four
weeks in advance. There
also must be approval for
the use of facilities, along
with approval from several
different
administrative
offices. Even then, only beer
and wine may be served,
and it must be served by a
properly licensed distributor or catering service.
Although Mitchell provided excellent information
on issues relating to alcohol
within educational institutions, she also found herself
stumped as to why there is
no pub on the San Marcos
campus. She offered the
suggestion that a pub may
have never been suggested
by anyone, up to this point.
A fter a lengthy interview
with Mitchell, she summed

Community perceptions of

the best answer that could be

C ONCERN
D ON'T ABUSE
YOUR F REEDOMS
I was pleased at the
overwhelming turnout of
students at the April 9th
war debate sponsored by
the College Republicans
and PAN. The event was
very well organized and for
the most part ran smoothly.
Unfortunately, there were
some people who chose
to disrupt the assembly by
inappropriately
shouting
out rude, personal, and
unfair comments, as well
as obscene gestures to Mr.
Steel.
As Americans, we have the
right to speak freely, but
this does not mean that we
have the right to use abusive
speech or encroach and
trample on other people's
rights. While I must
commend the majority of
the liberals attending the
event for not participating in
such immature tactics, I also
find it interesting that the
only individuals who chose
to act in such a manner were
the very same people who
advocated for "peace."
But then it was just last week
that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat
advocator of peace, said
that the U.S. also needs a
"regime change," which by
definition involves forcibly
removing a dictator from
power. While the "corporate
media" is quick to show
protesters in the streets of
New York or San Francisco,
the truth is that 78 percent of
Americans support the war
with Iraq, and 69 percent
of Americans approve of
the way Bush is conducting
the war (4/03/03, Opinion
Dynamics Poll).
Since these abusive words
of treason came from a
Democratic
presidential
candidate, it really is no
surprise that liberals on
campus would follow the
example of this country's
left wing leadership, and
encroach on Mr. Steel's
rights. Your words and
actions spoke louder than
the "peaceful" protest signs
of your movement, and
you truly showed the true
character of the bleeding
heart liberal.
Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the
streets of Baghdad at the
toppling of Saddam's statue,
and the end of Saddam's evil,
tyrannical regime. May God

Dear Editors:
that the Iraqi regime might
hold against us? What are
our soldiers dying for?
Sure 82 casualties doesn't
compare to the previous
wars Americans have
fought in, but that is still 82
dead people and counting,
and thousands more lives of
friends and family that have
been drastically affected.
I know that many people
join the military for lots
of reasons, many of which
don't include protecting
the country, like benefits, a
stable pay check, to make
something out of their lives,
to travel, to get financial
help to go to school through
the G.L Bill, and as a way
out from any pressure at
home. Soldiers are owned,
which is why they're called
military property; their job
comes first no matter what,
and they don't have much of
a say in it either.
One can argue that even if
our first motive for the war
wasn't to disarm Saddam,
it is still our motive to free
the people from Saddam's
tyranny and oppression. We
have the ability and so it is
our responsibility. That is a
valid point. The people of
Iraq have been oppressed by
their own ruler and have the
right to be free. Many Iraqis
would want to live free and
not under Saddam's regime.
If we never find WMD then
of course our motive is to
free Iraq, but it wasn't like
that in the first place. It'
just funny how later on in
the war the ideal of freeing
Iraq
was
emphasized
more than finding and
destroying weapons of mass
destruction.

they are more discrete about
it. According to Kozol, Martin
Luther King had a dream that
white and black children would
go to the same schools. He did
not have a dream that involved
a child having to meet certain
criteria in order to attend the
school.
National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol
spoke out against what he calls
"Modernized legal apartheid,"
in the United States' public
schools system last Thursday
at the California Center for the
Arts in Escondido (CCAE). It
was a packed house last Thursday at the CCAE when Kozol
opened his speech, praising
school teachers on their continued efforts on working with
kids, yet not speaking too highly
about politicians who think otherwise.
Kozol does not believe our
politicians are doing enough to
educate the young children in
the inner cities. According to
his research, 1/4 of the children
in South Bronx do not go to preschool because their local government won't spend the money
for Head Start programs, which
help children of low-income
families to better develop their
comprehensive skills before they
start school.
Kozol drills the government
on its education bill that was
passed, which will in turn hold
an eight-year-old accountable
for not passing his/her exams.
He feels that these tests are
discriminatory against children
that go to inner city schools,
because some of these children
did not have any proper preschooling, and many did not go
to pre-school at all. Kozol also
thinks that teachers will lose
some of their creativity, because
they would be under the watchful eye of the government.

Kozol doesn't believe that
parents from the inner city have
the resources to do this. That
is where his "Modernized legal

Kozol believes that the modern
day American public school
system is as segregated as it was
in Martin Luther King's time;
people just don't notice it because
Daniel Murphy, a CSUSM
senior, said "Instead of having
the students pick up the entire
fee, the university could have
charged the students the difference between what was set aside,
and the fees that were being
absorbed (roughly $50,000) and
reduce this new 2,9% surcharge

a choice as to where the previously set aside money should be
used. The $124,091 will now be
distributed to other Student Life
Programs and to hiring another
staff police officer. CSUSM's
President Alexander Gonzalez
said, "Both will support student
needs as we move to a 24/7
campus with the opening of student housing in Fall 2003."
"Teachers are not drill sergeants for the state," Kozol
expressed. A teacher should
have "Loyalty first to the kids,"
and second to the government,
Kozol said. He does not feel that
it is necessary for the government to test children because of
the negative impact it will have
on whoever implements it.
PAN Hosts
War Forum
By TRAVIS OLP
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, O ct 17th, Cal
State San Marcos hosted a
forum concerning the pending war against Iraq in the
Mezzanine Plaza at 12 p.m.
Sponsored by the Progressive Activist Network (PAN),
the panel consisted of three
CSUSM professors and two
North
County
activists.
According to PAN Vice President Drew Niedenthal, the
forum provided an opportunity to "hear from people who
are educated about the situation, and to let them speak
their mind?
The discussion began with
introductions of the panel
by PAN President Manal
Yamout. Fellow members

communication alumnus, Bob
Nanninga, currently a journalist for the Coast News. Both
Nanninga and Eiden proved to
be very adamant about avoiding
war with Iraq.
Eiden thinks a great deal is
missing from media coverage,
more specifically, whatever
the government does not want
people to know. "If the government tells the truth, it is a
coincidence", said Eiden. Nanninga explained that the "federal

Questions made by PAN
President Yamout were direct
and succinct. These included
"Is the media coverage on the
situation with Iraq accurate?",
"Should President Bush be more
concerned about domestic issues
such as a faltering economy?"
and "What are the implications
if America decides to go to war
without U.N. approval?" The
only clear answer was from
Eiden. If the U.S. goes to war
without the consent of the U.N.,
it could be the catalyst that
"ignites a world confrontation
between 'Islam' and 'the West'.
The U.S. could become a world

Professor of History Patricia

Women's Studies Kicks Off New Leadership Series
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride Staff Writer
Three professional women discussed the importance of balancing family and business life, the
glass ceiling encasing women in
government, and the challenges
that lay ahead for women on their
career paths during a Women's
Studies Leadership Series, The
panel discussion took place at Cal
State San Marcos in Commons
206 on Oct. 10, complete with
light afternoon hors. d'oeuvres
of fine cheese with crackers and
exotic fruit juices. Its focus was,
"Being in the Public's Eye," and
it had as guest speakers three
superwomen in government,

clown, rather the ability to skillfully maneuver the schedules
and priorities of her daughter's
sleepover plans, a town hall
meeting, dinner, her career as an
accountant, wife, and the Mayor
of an entire city - all in one day.
Holt-Pfeiler
devotedly
described the obstacles that she
herself faced on her political
ascension on the public service
ladder. She reiterated the many
difficulties specific to women
who must burrow through a
system filled with challenges,
and are often not shown any
benevolence from their male
counterparts.
When questioned by an audience participant about her commitment to ensuring that the
voices of other underrepresented
populations, specifically women
of color, be heard, Holt-Pfeiler
responded, "If you don't share
power, it's going to be taken
from you, so you have to make
a place at the table for everyone
to sit."
Holt-Pfeiler, the soft-spoken
Mayor of Escondido, appeared
stronger than a locomotive in a
calm, underlying might, as she
recounted her daily challenges
of holding a public office and
balancing her family responsibilities. She invited the audience
on a twist-and-turn journey of
one day in Lori's life, where

work harder and more efficient at
the age of 27 to provide for her
two young children. With just a
high school education and $2,000
in her billfold, Case whisked past
the blockades and two husbands
in her way, up the ladder of
managerial success. Now that
she has accomplished that, there
is little room for advancement
because the top 5 Director positions in city management are all
held by men and have remained
stagnant. Case cautiously talked
about the ever-present glass
ceiling looming overhead for
women. She said of Escondido
city government, "You find a lot
of women get to the management
level and that's where they tend
to stop. They don't tend to get to
the director level."
Case outlined the pros and
cons of engaging the city in
employment. She maintained
that among the most attractive advantages to government
work is an individual's ability
to directly affect change in other
people's lives. "You touch a lot
of people," she said, "you touch
the public a lot." She continued
by saying that although the pay
is not creat, "The henefit p art.

disposition permitted her to be
completely frank and honest
with her audience, being truthful in her advice, "I would say
there are more opportunities for
women to advance, at least in
this state, today, in the private
sector," Case asserted, "If you're
looking for an accelerated career
path to the top, government is not
for you, at least not now."
Strassburger, CEO of the
Downtown Business Association
of Escondido, connected with the
audience by sharing her professional progression towards the
position she holds now. Strassburger previously held employment with organizations from
the San Diego Blood Bank to the
Zoological Society, publishing
articles in regional and national
publications. Her experience
reinforces the age-old cliché
that it's not what you know, it's
who you know as she openly
divulged, "I have never received
a job that I have applied for.

because I've known someone
and had their recommendation."

the Board meeting to illustrate
the benefits of spirit slogans with

reminded the members.

women in the room by sharing
her valuable experience, "I don't
care what job you're in, doing
your homework and being prepared always puts you one above
everyone else." According to her,
this preparation empowered her
to move beyond obstacles in her
path as if leaping over tall buildings in a single bound.
To illustrate this analogy,
Strassburger provided an example that she, like other women,
had often encountered. "There
will be times when you're in a
meeting and make a comment,
and 5 minutes later a man will
say the same thing and be recognized for it when you weren't."
She used this opportunity to
engage the audience by releasing
the tension that had built up from
such a frustrating reality. Strassburger asked someone to help
her understand why this scenario
often occurred and Jonathan
Pouliard, CSUSM's Associate
Vice President of Student Affairs
and Dean of Students, blurted
out, "That's easy, it's called

�Sniper Continues to Baffle Investigators
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Despite increased efforts, the
Washington D.C. area serial
killer commonly known as the
"Beltway Sniper" continues to
elude authorities. The killing
spree, which has resulted in nine
deaths and has wounded three
others, began on O ct 2nd. On

sniper has hit some in the head,
others were hit in the upper body.
Graves maintains that, given the
distances of the shootings (up to
100 yards) and kill ratio (9 of
11) this seems unlikely to be the
work of a professionally trained
sniper. "I can take someone out
in the morning and by lunch
have them shooting as well as
this guy," says Graves.
The second assumption made
about the "Sniper" that has
recently been questioned is the
idea that this is the work of a lone
gunman. Former FBI agent and
one of the pioneers of modern
profiling techniques, Robert
Ressler, suggests that the shooter's ability to hit with a single
shot and escape police dragnets
within minutes gives credence to
the notion that this might be the
work of more than one man.
It's been implied that the
second man would act as a
"wheel man" and/or victim spotter. "These are complex crimes,"
says Ressler. "You can't just pull
up and shoot out the window
unless you're an exceptional
marksman. I think he's getting
out of his seat and shooting
with a scope and a bipod or a
rest. Someone else is driving."
Ressler also suspects that by the
time the victim falls, the vehicle
is already moving.
This may be partly due to
the United States government's
approval to use Army spy planes
(Airborne Reconnaissance Low
planes) equipped with a range
of special sensors and detection
capabilities for an overhead,
round the clock hunt for the
notorious marksman. Furthermore, criminologists have suggested that, these killings may
stop for months at a time, or even
entirely.
This may be just another of this
unseemly character's/characters'
methods employed that make
him/them virtually impossible to
profile. Whatever the case, this
methodical madman/madmen
has used intelligence to evade
capture thus far and officials
have even granted that it may
require either luck, or an improbable mistake on his/their part to
apprehend this killer/killers.

�Evaluating the Writing Requirement
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
about how students from other
universities were graduating
without satisfactory writing
skills and believed that "was
outrageous," Worden explained
how the faculty decided, "We
didn't want that to happen
here."
Throughout the California
State University system there
is a requirement that says that
in order to obtain a degree all
students must show a proficiency
in writing. Students at CSUSM
meet this requirement through
what is known as "Writing
Across the Curriculum"
The 2002-2003 General Catalogue explains, "At CSUSM,
students complete the graduation
writing assessment through the
All-University Writing Requirement" This requires that every
course must have, "a writing
component of a least 2,500
words " The requirement does
not state specifically how this is
to be done, just that the "writing
requirement can be achieved in
a variety of ways, depending on
the course."
an upper division writing class
and pass the Examination in
Writing Proficiency (EWP). Students attending the Long Beach
campus have to pass a Writing
Proficiency Examination/ In all
cases, if the students fail to pass
the writing exams and additional
courses, they will not be able to
graduate. There are also limits
as to how many times the exams
can be taken.
The requirement for CSUSM
is much different from other
universities in the CSU system.
At CSU Bakersfield, students
must show writing competency
by either passing the Graduation
Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) examination or

known as Challenge Exams, and
at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students must either pass a writing
proficiency exam or take another
English class in order to graduate.
CSUSM's writing requirement is a legacy of the founding
faculty. Dr. Patricia Worden,
a member of the founding faculty in Psychology who is now
the Dean of Graduate Studies,
explained that Dr. Ken Seib is the
"father of the writing requirement." Worden said that the
founding faculty was concerned
Worden told how Seib, who
left the university before it
opened, felt that "if you want to
learn how to write you have to
write a lot." In order to achieve
this goal, the founding faculty
decided on a requirement that
would call for writing in every
single class, or "writing across
the curriculum." Worden said
they knew it would require
more work for the faculty, so
they .made the requirement
flexible mandating only a word
minimum and not any specifics
for how it should be accomplished. Worden added, "[the]
university's writing requirement
has had nothing but good publicity." *
Dr. Bud Morris, Immediate
Past Chair of the Academic
Senate and Communication
professor, said that, "CSUSM
chooses to [use the writing
requirement] and we do it well."
Morris added how the writing
requirement "is a distinction and
one that emphasizes the personal
development of the students."
To confirm how successful
CSUSM's writing requirement
really is, Dr. Bettina Huber,
Director of Analytic Studies,
provided statistics and data
gathered from several different
surveys. According to Huber,
"Our writing requirement makes
us distinctive." She also said that
it highlights the importance of
writing in every course over a
general essay like the GWAR.
Huber discussed the results of
the Fall 2001 Annual In-Class
Survey, which showed how 80%
of the 1,156 respondents believed
that, "their writing ability had
been enhanced moderately or a
great deal."
In the Spring 1999 Alumni
Survey, in which there were
1,468 respondents, four in five
alumni said "the writing skills
they acquired at CSUSM have
proved particularly useful in the
years since they received their
bachelor's degrees." Alumni
comments were a testimony to
both the dislike and the importance of the requirement. A few
typical examples were, "the
horrible writing requirement has
proven to be very valuable," "all
writing proved to be a must," and

This Thursday, Oct. 24th, is
United Nations Day. Although
this day is marked on many calendars, many do not know what
this day really means.
According
to
www.patriotism.org, this day
was established via presidential
proclamation to commemorate
the establishment of the United
Nations in 1945. Originally
called the League of Nations,
former President Franklin D.
Roosevelt devised this international organization during the
Second World War to collectively

Showing a proficiency in writing is mandatory for graduating
college students in the state
of California. CSUSM has the
unique system of the "writing
across the curriculum" requirement, while other colleges,
regardless if they are in the CSU
system or not, have exit exams
like the GWAR, or additional
classes, or both. It is extremely
doubtful that the writing requirement will ever be eliminated, but
it could be replaced. However,
this would be up to the General
Education Committee and the
Academic Senate to decide.

Press Law "Center
created the following ad,
On-campus scandal;
deceit, and incompetence exposed.
Or
so it should be in the
university press.
"The Constitution
has established as the
supreme law of the
land the guarantees of
free speech and a free
press with a prohibition against the government at any level
of any branch infringing thereon," wrote
Louis Ingelhart. The
question that remains
is if this protection
of verbal and written
freedom of expression
extends to the nation's
3500 plus colleges and
universities. So begins
the debate.
"Wanted: Teacher

The fact that very
few campus newspapers are completely
independent of the college overseeing them
complicates the issues
over how much freedom they are entitled
to.
Cal State San

The Pride, for example, receives rent-free
office space on campus
and approximately half
of its funding from the
university Instructionally Related Activities
(IRA) funding. The other half credence to student publications

due to content-related issues, as
Francine Martinez, CSUSM described by journalism profesVice President for Student sor Louis Ingelhart.
Affairs, explains IRA funding
as a, "fee revenue that is paid
by students each semester. The
current fee is $5 per student per
term." Martinez added that the
IRA Fee "is designated for activities that support the academic/
instructional programs of the
University. Student newspapers
[are] an example of the type of
activities supported by this fee
on our campus"
There is a proposal submission process, which The Pride
goes through each year in order
to receive this funding. The ASI
president is the chair of the IRA
committee, which reviews all
proposals and makes recommendations to the university
president. The president makes
the final recommendations as to
who receives IRA allocations for
the following year.
Fiscal support, such as that
received by The Pride, is not
unique to CSUSM. According
to journalist Eric Campbell, only
22 student newspapers in the
country are completely independent. In fact, courts give formal

university, said, "I

about the campus."
press, or prefer to ignore these
restrictions." Thereby, the freedom to which student journalists
are entitled is not always taken
advantage of.
Nor is this a staunch freedom
that goes unchallenged. New
cases are perpetually brought to
court where a party believes their
constitutional right to freedom of
the written word has somehow
been thwarted at a campus newspaper. Currently, the editors of a
student publication at Governors
State University in Illinois have
filed a lawsuit in federal court.
The two editors complain that
their paper was literally shut
down after they printed attacks
on professors and administrators
for being "antagonistic to student
concerns" This case is being
closely watched by student-press
and
professional-journalism
organizations for the impact it
may have upon future policies.
Despite the lack of complete
autonomy from the university,
many campus newspapers are
free from the control of their
faculty or administration. This
makes student newspapers peerlessly unique, as no other publications are free from the censorship of their publisher, which is
the university in this case. In
these circumstances, though,
immunity is seen as necessary
for publications to function as
credible sources of information
instead of extensions of university advertising. The United
States judicial system has upheld
this necessity with Numerous
court rulings granting that public
colleges have more power to
regulate what is taught in the
classrooms than what is printed

are still regarded negatively.
A former staff writer for The
Babbler, the student newspaper
at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, commented on experi-.
ences with the newspaper's
faculty advisor. "When talking
about story ideas, I was repeatedly told not to be disappointed
if something negative [about
Lipscomb] didn't get printed...
That's just the way it was," said
the former writer. (Student's

Jonathan Poullard,
CSUSM Dean of Students, said he wants to hear the
truth reported about the campus
workings, but he wants to hear
all the truth. "Don't give me half

Poullard expounded that at the'

�Mastering the Job Interview
By TERESA MCNULTY
Pride Staff Writer
On Oct. 15 at 8 p.m., the
Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity
hosted an Interview workshop with Bank of America
recruiter Maria Pancotti.
Pancotti gave insights and suggestions for settling the nerves
that all of the students will
eventually encounter when
looking for a job.
Pancotti's first -suggestion
was to be ready to relax/ She
explained most interviewers or
recruiters understand nerves
and try to put individuals at
ease, so she insisted, "Go
ahead and relax!"
One way to help the relaxation part is to be prepared.
Pancotti recommends making
sure that applicants know
ahead of time exactly what job
people are applying for and the
qualifications needed for that
job. Also, people should try to
find out what kind of interview
they will be having: whether
it is a panel interview, a oneon-one interview or a phone
interview makes a difference
in the process. Pancotti also
suggested calling beforehand
to do research on the position
that applicants are applying for
and investigating in advance
as to whether the position is a
service oriented job or a data
entry position. Going to an
interview unaware of these
things may damage an applicant's chances for getting the
job, said Pancotti. Also, many
companies have websites now,
where people might be able to
get a better knowledge about
the culture of the company.
Pancotti feels it is most
important that when applicants arrive to the interview
they show energy and dignity
and exude confidence. Wear
appropriate clothing; conservative and professional over
trendy is usually best. She
recommended wearing a very
light fragrance, nothing overwhelming because some individuals have allergies. Pancotti also offers a reminder,
"The interview starts the
moment you walk in the door."
She also recommended being
courteous to everyone, which
means the receptionist, too.
Recruiters sometimes ask the
receptionist about their opinion. Furthermore, recruiters
will be looking at the overall
presentation that applicants'
offer, and everything counts.
Pancotti suggests "bringing
a copy of the resume in a folder
or a briefcase." She also added,
"Bring your day timer or a calendar with you. Occasionally,
a second interview is required
and applicants will need to
make the appointment at that
time. Also, bringing the exact
phone numbers of professional
references helps. Sometimes
people will go directly to
the second interview, so that
second resume helps. The
resume does not have to look
fancy; it just has to have your
skills and be easy to read. The
simpler the better is usually
best," said Pancotti.
If possible, applicants are
encouraged to do some roleplaying before the interview.
Ask a friend to help. Be prepared to answer "Behavioral
Based Interview" questions
such as; tell me about a time...
or a specific experience when
you came up with an idea
that improved a situation.
The answers should be based
on actual experiences. Other
questions might be "Describe
your most significant accomplishment for which your
received
recognition?"
Answers might start like, "A
week ago, I helped my boss.. "
Pancotti insisted never to lie
about the answers given in the
interview. She said, "Liars stop
looking at the interviewer and
tend to loose focus. We can
always tell." So she insisted,
"Always, be honest and tell
the truth"
In addition, people should be
prepared to answer questions
regarding their weaknesses.
This is why Pancotti suggested
turning the question into a
positive answer, for instance,
"I work too hard or I am
overly organized." Some other
common questions include:
Where do you see yourself in
5 years? Why are you leaving
your current position? Good
answers to the last question
would be lack of growth or
seeing better opportunities in
the job applicants are applying
for. When answering questions, the interviewee should
be sure to communicate
clearly and completely, and
if they are not sure how they
sound, they are recommended
to tape themselves or go over
their answers with a friend.
Having questions for the
interviewer shows that applicants are prepared. If possible,
the interviewee should go
ahead and write the questions
down and bring them to the
interview. Pancotti's suggestions for good questions would
be asking "What characteristics would make the applicant more successful in this
position," in which applicants
should highlight their qualities
and say what they can do to
follow the suggestions given
by the interviewers. Asking
for more information about
the actual duties of the hiring
position is also helpful; the
last question should always be
to ask for the next step. This
question implies asking if they
will call or if they will write.
Also, writing a thank you
letter is a good thing to do.
According to Pancotti, if there
are many applicants, people
will want to stand out and
writing a thank you letter can
help. Some individuals might
write in the letter "Remember
I was number one on my sales
team in my previous position."
Maintaining eye contact
during the interview; connecting with the interviewer;
taking time to answer questions; not offering too much
personal information; and
avoid talking about your husband or children were other
suggestions made by Pancotti.
Pancotti added that recruiters
want to talk about the applicants' skills and qualifications
and that this should be kept
simple. Pancotti concluded,
"At the end of the interview
people should feel comfortable
and relaxed but without forgetting to bring the most important thing to the interview, a
great smile!"

Take a Break Tuesdays Starts Up at CSUSM
By HONEE J. FOLK
Pride Staff Writer
Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) Programming Board
braved the day's dark clouds
and harsh air on their mission
to entertain CSUSM students
during "Take a Break Tuesday"
activity held on Oct. 15, between
11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For this event,
seven Cal State §an Marcos students, John Gehris, Rhawnie
Gauthier, Julie Kroeger, Angi
Hardin, Brett Gladys and Briza
Juarez enticed, bribed, begged
and harassed anyone standing on
Founder's Plaza to increase their
batting average in the huge inflatable batting cage. The enormous
playpen was set up between
Academic and Science Halls and
provided many college students
an opportunity to retreat to their
adolescent memories of recess
on the jungle gym.
The ominous gray sky, chilling wind, and the precipitous
rain clouds were no match for the
programming board members'
sunny dispositions. Armed with
big smiles, enthusiastic energy,
and musical bullhorns, several
members of the programming
team went to the corners of the
quad to pull in prospective players. Gehris often stopped random
passersby and challenged them
to "swing batter batter, swing
batter batter." Some CSUSM
students were not lured onto
the playful atmosphere, Maria
Schroeder, ASI College of Arts
and Sciences Representative
remembered ducking and dodging the ball instead of sending it
into the outfield the last time she
entered the cages. With a smile
on her face, she tugged her arm
away from the persistent John
Gehris, as she exclaimed, "No
way, I almost broke my ankle
and lost my shoe the last time I
got in that thing!"
ASI Coordinator of Student
Programs and Services, Valerie
Cuevas, offered her opinion of
the. day's activities saying, "It
went very well, over 70 students
participated... it provided a great
escape from papers and projects
for students to just have fun."
Cuevas encouraged everyone to
participate in the fun activities
scheduled in this series on the
third Tuesday of every month.
The cold California weather
had students standing in line
with blue lips and shivering
torsos jumping from side to side
in an effort to keep warm (in
the miserably cold weather that
never got below 65 degrees).
Many were anxious to strut
their stuff for fantasy bragging
rights about how many balls they
"smacked out of the park," joked
one student before he pounded
away at the ball.

�S haky P lot W ith S olid S creams
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
If you showed up late for the
preview screening of The Ring
at La Jolla's AMC Theater,
chances are yon were left outside with countless others and
doomed to wait a few more days
until the official release. The
Ring, originally titled Ring, was
adopted form a highly regarded
Japanese thriller originally by
Hideo Nakata. The English version of The Ring, directed by
Gore Verbinski (The Mexican),
stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Martin Henderson
(Windtalkers), and David Dorfman (Panic).
While not all the cast are
mainstream popular actors and
actresses, the characters portrayed come together to make an
entertaining shock movie about
an urban legend focusing around
a videotape. However, when
watching this movie, which I
suggest you do, please don't
meddle on what is not believable,
it will ruin the experience. The
main gist of this movie is based
on the "what i f ' factor, so just
go with it. This movie revolves
around a videotape but manages
to be fairly entertaining, I would
suggest this movie to anyone
who likes a fairly scary movie
that makes you think.
and a little bit on the lame side,
you are right. But, since when
does a Hollywood movie need
a believable plot? Especially
when dealing with a movie
that's based upon a fictional
urban legend.
Dark imagery foreshadow events. Image courtesy of Dreamworks.
The urban legend in The Ring
is about a mysterious videotape,
whose mystery is only exceeded
by its power because the movie
will kill you after viewing it.
When this video is watched, the
viewers will not only be scared,
but receive a phone call immediately afterwards explaining that
they will have 7 days left to live.
This movie received a rating
of PG-13, but deals with fairly
mature subject matter. Similar
movies include the Blair Witch,
or the Sixth Sense. The Ring
will leave you with a little more
on your mind to digest/ The
Concept of something as simple
as a video causing your death is
really something to think about,
especially after breaking down
all the moments of the movie
that tie into the tape. This is
what The Ring exactly portrays.'
Overall, this is the type of
movie that leaves you thinking
the moment you see the first
credit rolling, not to mention
the variety of different actions
from person to person about

�Jack Johnson Soothes
San Diego
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
On October 12th, I had the
opportunity to attend the Jack
Johnson concert at UCSD Rimac
Arena featuring other artists such
as G Love and Special Sauce. I
would describe Jack's music as
soulful, lazy, Saturday guitar
tunes that occasionally are hinted
with a touch of blues, hip-hop,
and reggae inflections.
From what I have gathered
from many websites dedicated
to Jack and his music, he is Jack,
27 years old, who was born and
raised in Hawaii started surfing pretty much as soon as he
began to walk. He surfed
competitively as a teenager
with a Quicksilver contract
and a reputation as an up and
coming pro surfer, but he was
not the type who enjoyed major
competition. After a near fatal
surfing accident, Jack turned
his back on his surfing career
and moved to the mainland to
study film at UCSB.

Jack's musical talent was
discovered here in San Diego.
He started off playing $2.00
shows in Encinitas, before he
started to get more recognition.
Jack is just another person who
enjoyed playing the guitar and
jamming with friends after a
good day of surfing.
Jack is definitely a laid
back kind of guy who really
just plays music, because he
loves it and not for the money.
Rumor has it that he avoided
the big wig recording studios in regards to his second
album and is heading back to
his brother's garage in Oahu,
Hawaii to compile it.
His first album, Brushfire
Fairytales, has been a huge hit.
It has sold over 200,000 copies
since its release in 2001.1 also
have noticed great popularity
and definitely big playtime
on local radio stations as well
as nationwide recognition on
Billboards.com.
I was surprised to see such a
laid back gathering of people
at the concert. It was more
like a party gathering than a
concert. There was no certain
demographic at the concert. I
saw fans as young as gradeschool age and all the way up
to people that looked to be my
parent's age. There were definitely many college students
.from all sorts of local colleges
and universities. My group
consisted of CSUSM students
as well as SDSU students. We
all enjoyed the intimate setting where we felt relaxed and

�Separate But Not Equal Two
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
In response to Crystal Rodriguez, and in defense of my article
"Separate But Not Equal," I have
to say that I think you missed my
point. I was not suggesting that
we just eliminate these "ethnic"
literature pieces from being studied; I was saying that these pieces
should be included in the American Literature class because the
authors are just as American as
any of the other authors that are
currently included.
For instance, Thomas Paine,
the author of "Common Sense",
was born and raised in England,
but his work is commonly found
in the "Regular" American Literature class. What makes him

As the November 5th election
rapidly approaches, we need to
educate ourselves about the candidates and issues. That is the
major problem: we need to educate ourselves. No professors to
lecture us. No mandatory readings to pump information into
our heads. Self-education pushes
us out of our comfort zone. It
takes discipline.
Ultimately,

not? It is similar to implying that
Paine, a man from England, has
no ethnicity. It is asinine to have
a class that separates "EthnicAmerican" pieces from "American" pieces, because what the
university is saying by doing this
is, that the authors in the plain
old American Literature class
have no ethnicities. In addition
to this oversight, the university
is promoting the idea of separate
but equal, something we learned
back in the Civil Rights movement is simply wrong.
Also, why did you point out
that the university catalog says
that, "Literature 450 examines
texts through thematic and
historical frameworks in order
to view them as products of
varying culture and historical
circumstances?" Are you suggesting that in American Literature 309A and 309B that the
university disregards the varying
historical and cultural changes
that were occurring during the
American Revolution, the treatment of the Native Americans,
contemporary politics are not
youth-oriented. True, politicians
intentionally gear their ad campaigns and discussions towards
the older generation of voters,
knowing full well that only 32
percent of voters aged 18 to 24
turned out to vote in the 1996
presidential election. Which one
should come first: politicians
directing issues towards young
voters, or young voters making

this distinction.
Finally, I am sure you realize
that in the original Hollywood
Squares game, the individuals
in the squares sometimes intentionally provide wrong answers
to the questions, attempting to
throw the contestants off. It is
clear that the President of the
University was doing this when
he answered the question. To
suggest otherwise is really
unfounded and a stretch.
In response to the second issue
you raised, ASI is cognizant of
how the Hollywood Squares
game is played. Our original
intent was to have only one
round i n each game, and yes,
we do realize that is a deviation
from the original game. Our first
game went much quicker than
anticipated, so we decided to
play three rounds in the second
game to extend the time duration; thus, there was a difference

I am simply disappointed that
your writer chose not to do the
research on the article and then
offered information to your
readers that was inaccurate. I

writers was higher.

A Response to Keith Speers Letter
This letter is a response to the
letter that was sent to the pride
by Keith Speers, regarding the
article that written on Cal State
Squares. I am the author of the
article and sat in the crowd the
day of the event. I wanted to
respond to your concerns in the
following way:
In response to your comment
about me not doing the research,
I have no need to find out where
you specifically got the answers
to your questions. Just as you
believed that you were lookiiig
to a reliable source when finding your answers, I believed I
was doing the same when asking
Rick Moore, who is public relations for the university, who the
mascot was of the university.
He said himself that the Tukwut
was the mascot. I asked specifically if the, the TUkwut, was the
same thing as the cougar and
was given the response of yes.
Rick Moore now claims that he
made a mistake and said that he
was unaware that the two things
were different. The fact that he
did not know what the mascot of

the university was seems unacceptable to me being that he is in
the position he is. In my article I
quoted his response to my question. That is what he said, even
if he is now saying that he was
mistaken. My quote was accurate. Furthermore, the contestant answered the question with
the response: "The Tukwut, the
cougar," implying that the two
were the same. You made no distinction to him to imply that they
were different. Although it may
not be in the rules of Hollywood
Squares to clarify, when even
Rick Moore answers the question
wrong, you must know that you
have asked a bad question.
In regards to the first round
being played wrong, I called
your office and was told that it
was supposed to be three rounds,
but that you had made a mistake.
otherwise. President Gonzalez
had no business answering the
question wrong that the university was founded. It looks bad on
the part of the university for him
to not answer that correctly, and
he should have enough business
sense to know that, regardless
of the fact that it is occasionally
done on Hollywood squares.
It is absolutely not a stretch to
state the fact of what happened
at the game, and that's what I
did. I never gave my opinion on
the matter, but stated the fact
that it occurred. I did plenty
of research, and left out many
other mistakes that were made,
including multiple names being
pulled out of the box at one time
when the contestants were being
drawn. I would appreciate if the

�Response to Crystal Rodriguez Critique
In response to Crystal J.
Rodriguez on the "Separate
but Not Equal" article: I think
you are missing the point. I
don't think Melissa Reed has a
"Utopianistic" view of American
diversity. I think we can all
agree that tolerance of diversity
in America is not what it should
be. However, one way off
getting one step closer is to stop
alienating certain cultures by
lumping them together under the
heading of "Ethnic".
That says that cultures of
African, Mexican or Japanese
origin are different than "real"
or "normal" (read: white)
American culture. Literature
and Writing majors should not
be forced to take classes on
Ethnic Literature; they should
be forced to take classes on
American Literature, which by
definition should already include
different backgrounds. Another
option would be to not call any
class "American" and give them
all descriptive names such as

The conclusion leads to another
question. How does ASI or the

by those errors. Second, the
ASI or administration awards
those adversely affected the
equivalent award then those

adversely affecting those students already awarded. Third,
when having future competitions, the ASI or administration selects individuals that are
competent and can maintain the
integrity of the competitions.

CSUSM Cleared
in Bell
Discrimination
Lawsuit
By MARTHA SARABIA
News Editor
After eight days of hearing
testimonies and months of wait
ing and rescheduling the trial,
a discrimination lawsuit filed
by Damon Bell, a former
African-American Cal State
San Marcos employee, against
CSUSM came to an end on
March 22, and the verdict
cleared CSUSM on seven sepa
rate counts.
Bell, a former assistant
director of Student and Resi
dential Life at CSUSM, filed the
lawsuit on October 12, 2000.
He was hired at Cal State San
Marcos in June 1997 and later
resigned in January 2001. Bell
claimed to be a victim of dis
crimination and harassment,
and he believed these problems
made his working conditions
intolerable. Bell also claimed
-that his complaints were not
taken seriously, only redirected,
and that he was denied promo
tions and raises because of his
race.
According to the jury, there
was no evidence or proof that
Bell’s intolerable problems were
caused by .any racially moti
vated decisions made by his
supervisors. Furthermore, one
of the jury members said the
defense had presented a better
case, which ultimately led
CSUSM to win.
The jury came to a deci
sion after about 4 Vi hours of
deliberation, but the verdict has
not stopped Bell’s accusations
against CSUSM; he has decided
to continue with the case. “I feel
I have continued to be betrayed
by employees there,” said Bell.
“I feel that this isn’t the end. I
intend to keep on going.”

attorney, said she would file

PAN Provides Information and Fun with a
Message of Environmental Awareness
By EMILY KELLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The Progressive Activist Net
work (PAN) stirred up the
campus with free music, refresh
ments and fun as part of their plan
to raise awareness about environ
mental issues. “The 4-1-1” took
place on Thursday in the dome
plaza from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and was billed as “...one of the
first steps in our master plan to
change this (CSUSM) into a fun
and cool campus with socially
aware students who make a dif
ference,” said PAN President
Eric Roper, in PAN’s recently
released newsletter. The event
is the first in what PAN hopes
will become an annual event
intended to encourage CSUSM
students, as well as the surround
ing community, to be more envi
ronmentally conscious.
The 4-1-1 coincided with
National Alternative Fuel Vehi
cle Day and came just prior to
Earth Day. Some students who
attended the event were given
the opportunity to test drive a
new hybrid vehicle, the Prius,
from Toyota, which was provided
courtesy of Toyota of Escon
dido. The name “Prius” means
“to go before” in Latin, and is
so named because it is Toyota’s
first standard production hybrid.
Although it looks compact on the
outside, it has an interior roughly
the size of a Toyota Camry or
Honda Civic. The Prius gets
about 55 miles per gallon in the
city and 42 mpg on the highway

President Dustin Naylor pre
sented information regarding
the ‘Indian Rock Native Garden
Project,’ a collaborative project
involving faculty member and
visual artist Deborah Small,
anthropologist Bonnie Bade
and the Native American San
Luis Rey Band, to the Execu
tive Board on Wednesday.
“I see a lot of potential for
some great community-university relationships that can be
built,” said Naylor, as he intro
duced his explanatory handout
to the board.
The garden will be a semes
ter long project of the ‘
Advanced
Computer Art’ class (VSAR
402) taught by Deborah Small
next spring. The students will
be thoroughly involved in the
cultivation and physical imple
mentation of the Indian Rock
Garden, which has yet to be
designed.
Students will also be
engaged “with the local com
munity, come to know the
social, economic, environmen
tal, historical, and cultural
worlds in .which the members
of the community live” said
Naylor. He added that students
are going to be exposed to,
“ethno-botanical
methods,
including documentation of
plant uses, native plant classifi
cations schemes, plant history,
lore and stories, plant applica
tions, administration and pro
cessing methods, harvest and
cultivation requirements, and
the geographic distributions of
the plans under study.”

maximum capacity of 302, for
slightly longer than a year.
When complete the dormi
tory buildings will reach almost
to the point in the parking area
where the pavement has been
removed. According to Dora
Knoblock, director of Parking
Services, once the dormitories
are completed lot O will perma
nently lose 40 to 50 spaces.
As for the impact on parking
problems for the next year, Kno
block said, they (parking ser
vices) are “anticipating an impact
in the San Marcos Ambulatory
Care Center (SMACC) overflow
lot and are preparing to expand
stack parking.” Knoblock also
said, parking services is*“expanding carpool spaces by adding 25
more designated spaces in lot C,”
which is the most popular park
ing lot, located closest to campus
on the comer of Craven Road and
Palm Canyon Drive.
Although the entire area
fenced off in lot O is not nec
essary for the actual construc
tion of the student housing, Brad
Fenton, project manager for Plan
ning, Design, and Construction,
said, “It wouldn’t be safe to allow
people to park right next to the
construction area.” In addition to
the safety regulations, Knoblock
said extra spaces were needed
to allow for a turnaround lane,
which provides room for people
to easily drive around the lot,
rather than having to back out as
the spaces next the fence fill up.
Included in the housing proj
ect is a new parking lot, which
will be located directed East of
lot O, but this lot will be reserved
for “residents of the dorms and
another university department,”
said Knoblock. The housing proj-

motions for a mistrial or a retrial.
Also, Perfili told Judge Dana
M. Sabraw, who replaced the
original judge, that CSU attor
neys engaged in misconduct
when they told the court one
of their witnesses would testify
that Bell’s gay lifestyle, not his
treatment on the job, caused his
stress. Although a psychothera
pist testified this was not true,
the defense claimed he would
find Bell’s lifestyle as the cause
of his stress. The defense’s claim
led Bell to declare his sexual ori
entation during jury selection,
which according to Perfili might
make a North County jury less
sympathetic.
The trial took place in Vista
Superior Court and lasted 10
days. Bell’s case is not the only
discrimination lawsuit against
CSUSM; other cases have been
resolved in the past and others
are still awaiting trial.

ect will contain 126 units with a
maximum occupancy of475 residents, and the lot will have 232
spaces.
With land at a premium price
and the university growing at a
rapid rate the only practical way
to deal with parking woes is to
build up.
“There are already plans for a
parking structure but how to fund
the project and where to build
first are ,still being discussed,”
said Fenton. “I have built parking
structures in the past, and it can
be done.”
Knoblock agreed and said,
“The big piece is the funding
source.” She also said decisions
are “always a balancing act”
between needs and funds, and
since parking services is based
on a self-support system, they
are “exploring ways in public
and private partnerships for rev
enue.” “We (parking services)
are exploring ways to keep from
making drastic changes,” said
Knoblock.
Knoblock said, parking ser
vices “encourages car-pooling
and takes concerns, complaints
and suggestions very seriously.”

Review, a website dedicated to
1993 and onwards Toyota cars,
“City mileage is also greatly
helped by the fact that, unlike
‘normal’ cars, the Toyota Prius
regains some of your energy
when you stop, taking what
would normally just be heat (and
worn brake pads) and convert

Students milled around
during the event, enjoying music
from three local music acts: The
Rabbits(from CSUSM), Serial
Carpens (from the Encinitas
area), and DJ Showtime. When
asked about the importance of
music in supporting events such
as this one, one observer com

Also represented at the 4-1-1
were many environmentally and
socially conscious organizations.

“Ashanti” Brings Soothing Voice
to Hip Hop
By Marlino Bitanga
Pride Staff Writer
Spring Break Packs Action in Rosarito
After midterms, I needed to
take off for some fun and excite
ment. So without having to spend
too much money on airplane tick
ets, I booked a condo down south
at the Paloma Beach condos,
located in Rosarito, Mexico. I
told some friends they could stop
by anytime over the weekend to
crash if they needed to. They
could have the run of the house
except for the master bedroom,
which was mine. I drove down
on Thursday night with friends
Hayden, Mike, and Chivito. It
was only an hour and an half
drive from Vista with light traf
fic.
We got there late Thursday
night, settled in and then drove
farther south to Ensenada where
we went to drink at Hussons. It
was a mellow night, no real par
tying, but we met some very nice
stewardesses and invited them to
stop by the next afternoon. When
it was time to leave, we flipped
a coin to see who would have to
drive back to the condo. Mike
was the unfortunate loser, which
was good because he didn’t seem
to be drunk.
The next morning, I woke
first, searched for the car keys,
finally found them under Mike’s
stinky socks, and then drove into
town to buy some cases of Pacifico, a local beer. When I got
back to the condo, it was packed
with people, and they were all
strangers. Hayden had invited the
neighbors from down stairs, who
were almost all Norweigen girls.
A couple of them had their boy
friends. It was quite the crowd,
and the cases of beer I bought
earlier were gone by the noon.
Then when the alcohol was gone,
everyone felt we should go horseback-riding, many of them did.
Others went into to town to
barter, and one of the girls and
I rented quads instead of horses.
I felt sorry for the skinny horses
they rent to tourists.
It was almost five when we
all reconvened at the condo. A
group of us were going to go on a
short drive south to a small town,
Puerto Nuevo, where a .restau
rant I know has the best lobster
in the world. I have been going
to this restaurant for about 17
years. It is called Puerto Nuevo
1. It is not the fanciest restaurant,
but it is the absolute best. I have
eaten lobster from other places in
town, but none compare. There
is usually a line of guests wait
ing to be seated, but I get spe
cial treatment. While we were
in town, I treated all of us to
a “coco loco.” It is very pow
erful drink packed with about
six different liquors and coconut
milk served in a coconut with
some decorative straw. They taste
great, and by the end of your first
one, you start to feel the buzz. I
had about four. Man, I was feel
ing good.
“Knock, Knock,” Chivito
answered the
door; it was the
girls from Hus
sons. They were all dressed to
impress and ready for a night
out at Papas and Beer, a restau
rant and club in the main part
of Rosarito. The guys and me
where dressed much more casu
ally. Mike was wearing jeans and
black T-shirt, Chivito was wear
ing a Hawaiian shirt and board
shorts. Hayden looked the best
and was wearing black pants and
a nice dress shirt. Twas wearing
faded jeans, a black tank top,
and my black Chuck Taylors. We
all went as a group; it was me
and guys, the girls from down
stairs and the flight attendants.
Although, I’d like to think, I was
escorting the girl who I spent
the afternoon with. It was a fun
night of dancing, drinking, and
debauchery.
The next day every one did
their own things. I spent the day
with friends watching television,
drinking and talking about how
stupid we were for forgetting our
surfboards. We ate some fish
tacos, tampered with fireworks
and bought souvenirs for our
moms.
Now it was dark again and
time for another night at Papas
and Beer. We invited the girls to
come with us again. They agreed
but were first going to check out
a different place. So, we took off.
There was a longer line this time
at Papas and Beer, and we waited
impatiently. Once inside it was
booming. The Coronas and XXs,
other Mexican beers, were flow
ing. The girls arrived about an
hour later, which was very cool.
Then it happened. This idiot
drunk bumped into me. I ignored
him, but he felt that I bumped
into him. He decided to make
some stupid remark and push me.
Big mistake, especially when I
fwas only trying to have fun. Next
thing I remember, he is on the
ground, and I am in the arms of a
security guard being carried out
side where a police car is wait
ing. The police find my
flask, take it and put me
in the squad car.
Now, I’m in this cop car with
no back seat and sitting next to
a couple of local boys who are
trying to scare me with horrible
stories of what happens to grin
gos in jail. But it didn’t bother
or frighten me because I had
been in the Rosarito jail the year
before.
*
I would have had to spend
only about an hour in jail, but
since my friends did riot show
up and we were staying so far
out of town, I had to spend the
night. I sat on the concrete next
to all the other spring breakers
arrested for peeing in the streets,
fighting, or possession of drugs.
Finally, at dawn, my buddies
arrived to pick me up, and they
all had a bunch stories to tell me.
When we got back to the condo,
we slept for a few hours. I spent
the rest of the day with the girl
from Norway. It was our last day
in Mexico, so we all said our
good byes and headed for that
long wait at the border crossing.

Changing Lanes Addresses Believable Moral Dilemma
Photo Courtesy o f Press Kit Photography CD-ROM
By GEORGE BURGESS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
Road rage escalates to cata
strophic levels in Paramount Pic
ture’s suspense thriller, Changing
Lanes. The film directed by Roger
Michell, starring Ben Affleck and
Samuel L. Jackson, opened in
theaters Friday
The story takes place in
modern day New York City,
where two strangers Gavin Banek
(played by Affleck), and Doyle
Gibson (played by Jackson) have
a fender bender. Coincidentally,
both men are in route to the court
hearings of their lives. Banek,
a powerful Wall Street lawyer,
is to present the legal signatures
needed, by his partners, to usurp
the power of their billion-dollar
law firm. Gibson, an insurance
broker and recovering alcoholic,
is on his way to his final child
custody hearing and intends to
try and convince his ex-wife to
remain in New York with their
two sons.
Banek and Gibson begin to
exchange insurance information.
Banek is pressed for time and
offers to buy his way out of
the ordeal, but Gibson is trying
to straighten
out his life
andwantsto
do things “the right way.” Frus
trated and late, Banek abandons
the scene. He leaves Gibson
stranded, and says, “Better luck
next time.” What Banek doesn’t
realize is that he accidentally
leaves his legal documents at the
scene of the accident.
Gibson, who has an anger
management issue, is late for his
court hearing. Neither his ex-wife
nor the judge is willing to accept,
yet another excuse from Gibson.
Gibson blames Banek for ruining
his plans, and, at the same time,
Banek is faced with the enormous
pressure of having to produce his
lost documents. The feud over the
files escalates viciously through
out the course of the day with
grave costs to both men.
The primary theme of the
movie is conflict. On the sur
face, Changing Lanes is an urban
battle between two uncompro
mising men. Beyond the obvi
ous, the movie is addressing
the internal conflicts of human
nature. Gibson’s moral dilemma
comes with accepting, even in
sobriety, that his personality
remains tainted with anger and
instability, and Banek is forced
to toil between the reality of selfinterest and the idealism of the
legal system.
Changing Lanes is solidified
through the believable acting
of the supporting cast. William
Hurt-The Alcoholics Anon
ymous Sponsor, Sydney Pollack-Banek’s father in-law,
and Toni Collette- Michelle,
Banek’s girlfriend, each delivered
noteworthy performances. Brad
ley Cooper, Jennifer Dundas,
Ileen Getz, apd Kim Staunton
also contribute with lesser roles.
For promotion of the movie’s
debut, Jackson participated in an
open chat forum on MSN. Over
the course of an hour, Jackson
fielded questions from fans and
critics, worldwide. When asked to
describe Changing Lanes using
only
one
word
Jackson
responded, “Intense.” Given a
few more words, I would add
thought provoking and frighten
ingly believable.
When asked what he hoped
people would get out of Chang
ing Lanes, Jackson said, “There’s
a moral dilemma that both these
people have to deal with and take
responsibility. I think it’s great
we’ve done a film that will send
people out of the theater and into
a coffee shop to talk about it. It
ought to touch on some interestjngjissues and hopefullv it will
done without the religious ico
nography. Throughout the movie,
Banek and Gibson show signs
of remorse and question their
own morality. These moments
come, too obviously, under the
guiding light of the Roman Cath
olic Church. Gibson’s repentance
comes in a scene where he makes
peace with his ex-wife. In the
empty house, where the conver
sation takes place, hangs a sole
picture of the Virgin Mary. Simi
larly, Banek, distraught from the
events of the day, stumbles into a
church confessional. The moral
ity problems presented in the
film are earthlv, but the solutions
R EV IEW

inspire conversations between
people.”
Where there is conflict, there
is generally resolution or, in
this case, redemption. I loved
the movie, yet, I could have
offered are supernatural or religious. In other words, real problems, yes, one religion presented
as the solution, no thanks,
The movie is rated R by the

A few weekends ago, I went to
Jacumba, a small town located 75 miles
east of San Diego. The town is so small
that you would most likely not notice it as
you drive by on the freeway. Nonetheless,
at night, you can see the dim lights glim
mering off in the distance.
Only about 400 people reside in the
town of Jacumba, but back in the “roar
ing twenties” and 1930s, Jacumba was
a hopping town. Jacumba’s natural hot
springs attracted many visitors and were
a major magnet for Hollywood c e le ri
ties. The city thrived with affluent people,
but today it’s just a little town. The town
is comprised of nothing but a small strip
of road with old buildings on both sides.
On a sunny day, you might see a tumble
weed somersault across the road. Jacumba
makes you feel like you
are in some old
ghetti Western.”
My buddy, Mike, temporally lives out
there and works as a floor-supervisor at
5 / k ta i1 ii
the Golden Acorn Casino in Campo. I
visited the casino while I was in town.
This modern casino is not as popular as
Pala or Viejas but offers plenty of activi
ties. There’s great food, impressive prizes,
beer & liquor and whole lot more. There
are over 750 slots and plenty of Black
Jack, poker and other game tables.There
is also a 24-hour restaurant and gas sta
tion where you can buy some goodies for
the long road trip home. And for truckers,
they provide a truck center and Trucker’s
lounge.

My mission this time at the casino
was to win big. As I strolled around the

casino, I teased the black $100 chips in
my hand, taunting the gamers and flaunt-

ing my chips so that everyone could see
I was a high-roller. I never play the mini
mum $5 or $10 bet because if I want to
win big, I must be willing to lose big.
Finally, like a hawk, I honed my eye
on a table. The dealer looked at me as I
approached his podium. He looked intim
idated, not knowing what to expect. The
table was empty. It was a $10 minimum
bet table, but I was not about to bet so
little.
I threw down an $100 chip. First
hand, bang, I lost. I dropped 2 more
chips ($200) immediately on the table,
bang; I lost again. I lost over $1,000 in the
first fifteen minutes. No big thing, bang;
that’s Black Jack. On one hand, I won
back $500. I won the next three hands,
doubling and then tripling my cash flow.
After a few more hands, the pit boss
switched dealers. A crowd formed around
me; I was winning big and occasionally
losing some too. I battled different dealer after dealer, winning.
Now I was up a couple thousand
dollars and was dealt two face cards. I
split the two hoping to hit double Black
Jack. I didn’t; I busted on both hands.
I ended up losing almost two grand on
that one hand. It was OK though; it’s all
worth the adrenaline. I walked over to
bar and had me a scotch on the rocks.
“Hmmm-ah,” it tasted good, and I paid
for it with the little winnings I had left.
To win at any casino, you have to be
willing to lose, but don’t worry about any
money lost because no matter what the
result, win or lose, you will have a good
time.

Choki ng
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
Every Tuesday and Thurs
day, as I walk to my final class
in University Hall, I find myself
taking the stairs and choking on
the clouds of cigarette smoke that
fill the stairwell. Not only do
people choose to smoke on the
stairs, but they choose to block
them by sitting down on the
bottom stair, allowing for barely
enough space for one person to
slide by.
Is there a need to force nonsmokers and smokers alike to
share in your filthy habit? Why
is it people smoke in the most
absurd places - like right in front
in
the
Stairwell
of the entrance to a restaurant
or in a busy stairwell? Is it that
hard to walk the extra feet and
smoke in the open areas of the
campus to, at least, pretend you
have courtesy for those around
you?
The most amusing thing I
find about the smokers on the
third floor is that there are big
white signs that say in red writ
ing, “Please Do Not Toss Cig
arette Butts on Roof.” From
experience, I’ve learned that
money is not spent on signs
unless there is a recurring behav
ior that needs to be stopped. Is it
possible that some smokers can
be so ignorant they just tofe a
cigarette butt on a roof instead of
putting it in the garbage can they
are standing next to? I think that
it is rude and should be stopped.
I know that in northern Califor
nia many establishments enforce
a rule that stipulates people must
be a certain number of feet away
from the entrance of a building
before lighting up.
Does there need to be a rule
for people to wake up and realize
that not everyone wants to inhale
their second-hand smoke as they
try to walk to and from classes?
I surely hope that college-edu
cated citizens know the rules of
etiquette that we as a society
adhere to. But maybe I’m wrong,
and we should insert an etiquette
class in the schedule.
Does the Sun Damage Driving Brain Cells?
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
I have witnessed many differ
ent styles of terrible driving, but I
would have to give southern Cal
ifornia the award for “The Most
Ignorant Drivers.” I’ve driven on
the East Coast, which is, stereotypically, the home of the worst
drivers in the world, but they
don’t hold a token to those who
drive on roads from “The 78”
down through San Diego.
My first instance of igno
rance was in late February when
the rain hit. I have come to the
conclusion that all the driving
brain cells leave rwhen rain hits
southern California. On this par
ticular day, I sat on “The 15”
for two and a half hours, only
moving from Valley Parkway to
Carmel Mountain Road, which
is normally at the most a fifteenminute drive. But that wasn’t
the most shocking portion of
the wait. While sitting in what
looked like a parking lot, I had
my first experience with intense
southern California road rage.
I looked into my rear view
mirror and witnessed a “trucker”
get out of his semi-truck, walk
over to a man in a small Nissan
pickup, who obviously was trying
to merge into the lane against
the will of die “trucker,” open
the door of the Nissan, drag the
driver out onto the freeway, and
proceed to slug him with all of
his road-rage-filled-fists. Then,
as though it were a normal part
of his daily activities, he walked
back to his truck and merged
into a different lane. Those types
of things don’t happen where
I’m from, and I don’t think they
happen anywhere else in the
United States. If that were to
happen where I’m from, you’d
probably get shot.
My second experience with
local road rage was on Thurs
day. I was leaving school, enter
ing Highway 78-East from Twin
Oaks Boulevard. Since it was
4:25 p.m., there was barely any
movement. When I merged onto
the freeway, I attempted to merge
over one more lane. There were
at least two car lengths of room,
so I went for it. Immediately after
I put my blinker on, a person
driving a red truck that I was
trying to get in front of stepped
on the gas and tried to block
me from merging. Since I was
already over and still had enough
room (even with the jerk-action
of the driver), I continued to
merge. This woman proceeded
to give me the finger, yelling
at the top of her lungs, cursing
at me and literally making her
car swerve back and forth. Then
after she vented, obviously disap
pointed with the lack of response
from me, she sped into the lane
to the left of me, speeding up to
come beside me. She then con
tinued to yell at me, using her
very articulate four-letter words,
and swerved in front of me to
prove a point, almost losing con
trol of her truck and almost hit
ting the cars beside her and in
front of her while continuing to
give me the finger.
I never thought that I would
say this, but I think that Los
Angeles drivers are better than
their southern partners in the San
Diego area. At least they have
some sort of consistency in their
idiocy. Be it rain, sun, traffic,
parking, on the freeway or right
here on campus, I have to say,
“Congratulations San Diego, you
are the United States Most Igno
rant Drivers.”
Did Muslim-Americans
Pay Lip Service to 9-11?
By DAVID YANAGI
Pride Staff Writer
Shortly after the September
11 terrorist attacks, when a
clearer picture of the perpetra
tors and their motives began
to emerge, Muslim-Americans
were thrust into the national
spotlight to defend themselves
and their beliefs. Across the
country, Muslim leaders and
activists were quick to condemn
the events with a shared media
mantra that characterized Osama
bin Laden and his cohorts as
extremists, unrepresentative of
their peaceful Islamic beliefs.
With the exception of some
unfortunate hate crimes since
the attack, we have for the most
part, taken them for their word
and moved on.
Now the focal point of terror
ism has moved from New York
City to Israel. And again, many
Muslims in this country have
voiced their opinion on the situ
ation, although with a bit more
fervor than 9-11. And from what
I can tell, there seems to be
an almost unanimous solidarity
with their Palestinian brethren in
how they view the Middle East
crisis. Suicide bombers or ‘free
dom fighters,’ as they’re being
called by many, are continu
ously defended with rationaliza
tions and justifications for their
actions, subtly in American pub
lications and programs, but bla
tantly in many and most Arab
and Muslim-American newspa
pers and websites. I don’t want
to imply that anyone who empa
thizes with the Palestinian cause
favors terrorist tactics, but News
week recently reported 80 per
cent of Palestinians approve of
suicide attacks. It would be hard
to imagine such a view limited
only to the region. Both in the
media and in my own personal
experience, Muslim-Americans
tend to implicate the Israelis
as the real terrorists and see
the defenseless Palestinians as
merely fighting back the only
Way they can. Upon examination
of such a belief, the first thing
that comes to mind is how it
completely contradicts the Mus
lim-American denouncement of
the terrorist attacks on Amer
ica. An inconsistency that should
lead some to wonder if we were
had and were merely told what
we wanted to hear by much of
the Muslim community.
Let’s assume for a moment
that the suicide attacks against
Israeli citizens are somehow jus
tified. Israel is systematically
killing innocent Palestinians
with their military and its
advanced weaponry, while the
Palestinians use their only
weapon - themselves - to deliver
eye for eye retaliation. The
United States has sent and con
tinues to send billions of dollars
in aid to help Israel pay for the
tanks rolling into the West Bank.
This is the type of financial
support that has ‘mainstream’
Muslim and Arab news outlets,
both here and abroad, citing the
United States as an accomplice
to Israel in the death and destruc
tion. And if the United States
and Israel are in this together,
then this country is a viable
target; a point of view shared by
the terrorists on 9-11. If the ene
my’s motive and the results of a
suicide attack are all the same,
then, is it not valid to question
whether many Muslim-Ameri
cans are being disingenuous by
frowning on one and then excus
ing another?
If the true feelings of many
people in this country about 9-11
are hidden behind a politically
or patriotically correct faQade,
then President Bush’s “with us
or against us” statement should
have been domestically directed.
And the future of terrorism in
the US may be seen through the
eyes of an Israeli because if they
are fair game, then so are we.

When our weary world was young, the struggle of the Ancients first began. The Gods of Love and Reason sought alone to ule the fate
of Man. They battled through the ages, but still neither force would yield. Their people were divided; every soul a battlefield...
They say there are strangers, who threaten us in our immigrants and infidels. They say there is strangeness, too dangerous in our
theatres and bookstore shelves. Those who know what's best for us - must rise and save us, from ourselves. Quick to judge. Quick to
anger. Slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.
A tired mind become a shape-shifter. Everybody need a soft filter. Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings
about the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm.
These walls that still surround me, still contain the same old me, just one more who's searching for the world that ought to be. The
more that things change, the more they stay the same.
I have memory and awareness, but I have no shape or form. As a disembodied spirit, I am, dead yet unborn.
We can walk our road together if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free if we pursue a different aim. Let the
truth of Love be lighted. Let the love of Truth shine dear. Sensibility. Armed with sense and liberty, with the Heart and Mind
united in a single perfect sphere.

�New Security Measures Cause Disappointment with
Spring Break Travels
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Opinion Editor
Have you been through an
airport recently? Chances are,
since many of us just got back
from spring break, many of you
have. Hopefully your experiences
were better than mine. Not to
say that my travels over break
were all bad, but I definitely have
a question as to whether or not
the over 6 billion dollars allo
cated for airport security mea
sures, which will continue to be
funneled into airports, is doing
anything to protect us.
Traveling through Los Ange
les International Airport was a
breeze. Airport personnel were
very well organized, and their
new security systems looked like
something out of a Star Trek
movie. Laptop computers have to
be taken out and screened sepa
rately, but there were many (even
friendly) people standing in front
of the security machines, inform
ing passengers of the new pro
cedures^ You wouldn’t believe
how many people travel with lap
tops. I expected to be one of a
select few, but almost everyone I
saw pulled a laptop out of their
carry-on bags, at least at LAX.
Even at that, it only took me
about 45 minutes to get through
security and to arrive at my gate,
despite having my two-year-old
in tow. I felt safe; the National
Guard was everywhere, armed
to the hilt with fully automatic
rifles as well as their personal
side arms.
I had a layover in Kansas City,
which compared to LAX is a very
small airport, but they had their
share of National Guard mem
bers, and their baggage screening,
though not as sophisticated, was
thorough. Between the stroller,
the diaper bag, my briefcase, and
my little girl, I had a lot to drag
around, and the food court was
at the far end of the terminal.
Even with my military ID, they
wouldn’t let me leave anything
(even the diaper bag) at the gate
sp we could go get something to
eat more easily. I actually appre
ciated their adherence to guide
lines, however inconvenient for
me, because once again, I #felt
safe. I reached my destination
fairly happy with the new secu
rity measures.
My trip home was a different
story.
Chicago’s Midway airport
was comparable to LAX - they
had sophisticated systems, and
despite the hoards of passengers,
the now infamous Argenbright
security personnel were helpful
and friendly. Problems were non
existent until the plane for my
flight arrived late due to bad
weather at its originating air
port.
We boarded late, and there
were seven or eight standby pas
sengers on their way to Mexico.
None of the flight attendants
spoke Spanish and the passen
gers’ English wasn’t great. No
one could get them to sit down so
we could leave. (Why, oh why,
didn’t I learn Spanish instead of
French?)
We eventually took off just
twenty minutes late, but I still
missed my connection in

Denver.
Six of us from the Chicago
flight were running across the
terminal, and we watched them
close the door to our connecting
flight to Los Angeles. No one
bothered to tell the pilot that more
passengers were on the way. Bad
communication. We were stuck.
There was a woman who had
a connection to Singapore from
LAX. She was really stuck. The
next flight wasn’t until the next
morning.
Everything went downhill
•from this point. The airport staff
was rude, unhelpful, inconsider
ate, and completely unaccommo
dating from the moment we were
at their mercy.
“No, you don’t have to stay in
a hotel, you are welcome to stay
here in the terminal [for the next
twelve hours with a two year old]
until your next flight leaves,” was
the standard line I was given by
five or six different people.
Apparently, several dozen
people missed flights that night
because of bad weather at other
airports across the country. In
Denver, it’s usually local weather
that keeps passengers behind, but
not this time. With all the delays,
hotels around the airport booked
up very quickly, but, at least, they
gave us a “distressed passenger”
rate. I couldn’t believe this hap
pens so often that they have a
name for it.
After a four hour nap at a
hotel 25 minutes from the airport
(nothing is close to the terminals
in Denver) we found ourselves
back at the airport the next morn
ing. The airline wouldn’t store
our luggage for us the night
before, so we had to take it all
the way to the hotel, bring it all
back again the next morning, and
stand in line to check it once
again.
We got to the airport two and
an half-hours before our flight
was scheduled to leave; we still
almost missed it. The security
procedures were a mess. The line
to check baggage took over half
an hour, the secondary security
check took another twenty min
utes, and the main security check
to get into the terminal took an
hour.
I would have been completely
understanding if the staff had at
least been nice. I actually had
a nasty airline employee tell me
that I missed my flight the night
before because of my attitude right after I apologized for being
impatient with her. I was stressed,
exhausted, and dragging along
an extremely cranky two-yearold.
The most distressing part of
my trip was realizing that the
secondary security checks are
STILL not conducted randomly.
One out of every ten tickets
is flagged, and that passenger
is checked thoroughly at every
single checkpoint - baggage
check, main security, and board
ing - at every single airport.
It was such a joke.
My ticket was flagged, so
I had to completely empty all
of my bags, take off my shoes
and be frisked by security eleven
times on my trip. My military ID
meant nothing. I knew from the
first moment I checked in at LAX
that this was going to happen to
me. Everyone else went through
the same old relaxed procedures
that airlines have been conduct
ing for years. Likewise, anyone
who wasn’t told at check-in that
they were subject to secondary
security could count on not being
searched for the remainder of
their trip.
Does this make sense?
If I know that I’m subject to
secondary search at every stop,
even if I had something illegal,
I would sure as heck get rid of
it before I got to the checkpoint.
And if I were a bad person who
wanted to hurt people, I could
wait until after I had checked my
bags to find out if I was going
to be searched. Untagged pas
sengers never opened their bags,
never got frisked and never took
off their shoes.
I know that the FAA is trying
to avoid charges of racial pro
filing, but this was ridiculous.
Maybe every tenth passenger
in line for boarding should be
searched? That could be over
come too.
Should everyone go through
the same security measures that
I did? That would be better than
the way it is now. I would be will
ing to wait in line for that. The
way it is now, several people,
of multiple ethnic backgrounds
and looking far more suspicious
than a young woman with a baby
and a military ID, walked onto
the plane without a second look.
Those National Guard troops
can’t do a heck of a lot once the
plane is in the air.
Daily Thoughts on... Senioritis
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
I think I have a case of
senioritis. It’s already the elev
enth week of school, and I feel
as if all my motivation has either
been sucked out of my system or
it never caught up with me after
spring break. As class deadlines
draw closer, I am so swamped
with group projects and papers.
It’s as if all my professors forgot
to go to that meeting to let each
other know that they were sched
uling an assignment for a partic
ular day.
My internship isn’t cooperat
ing with me either. Have you ever
felt that you wanted to do some
thing for yourself? I thought by
obtaining an internship it would
help me gain more knowledge
able about the field I am trying to
enter or provide me more work
experience. But at the facility,
my title of “intern” has grown
to mean faxing, getting the mail,
and sitting at an isolated desk at
the front of the building answer

When technical terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical lit
erature, where necessary, should be parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are
welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. The PLS favors student
writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation of a faculty
member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind.
Staff and faculty contributions will also be considered. Photos or images (black and white preferred)
of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an alternative to manuscripts. Please
submit images and text using the following instructions.
For judging and layout purposes:
