Looking for Adventure?
Looking for adventures in
your life? For fun? For an opportunity to prove to yourself
that you can make a difference in
this world?
All of these needs are answered when you become an
Adventure Team Leader with
Los Caballeros de Aventura, an
non-profit organization whose
mission it is to divert at-risk youth
away from gangs and gang activity.
They do this by scheduling a
continual series of high adventures such as hiking, camping,
fishing, scuba diving, mountain
climbing, and many, many other
activities. With this type of program, Los Caballeros has become part of a successful community effort to reduce drive-by
shootings in Escondido by 54%
in the past year.
Los Caballeros is looking for
young adults for the Adventures
themselves as well as to work in
the elementary, middle, and
high school classrooms, and/
or in the home outreach program. Great leadership training is provided and participation results in great companionship and great new friendships. Most of all volunteers
will receive a great sense of
accomplishment. Opportunities exist in both Escondido
and San Marcos. If you are
interested, call Lyle Davis at
739-8209.

we use. Mr. George Carlson, Director of
Facility Services, will monitor the performance of the new contractor. Please let Mr.
Carlson know (at 752-4600) of any comments you have.
4. Are we moving away from the
Mission Statement: there were questions
about whether multiculturalism, writing in
all courses and the role of a second language.
The second language discussion has its roots
in both the international emphasis and in the
acquisition of an understanding of another
culture. The students suggested another University Mission Statement Day (UMSD) type
activity which deals specifically with these
issues. We will talk with the student and
faculty leadership about another UMSD to
see if there is interest in pursuing this event.
5. How will we communicate the
discussions of this Forum to the University
Community and especially the students?
Through the PRIDE is one way (and the
reason for this article).
6. What is the policy on students
getting e mail accounts and to whom should
we go to get accounts? When a student
wants an e-mail account, they should contact
Teresa Macklin in Computing Services (7524787). She will then set them up with their
own e-mail account.
7. What can be done about increasing student participation in campus events?
Attending students complained about the
posting policy and the lack of available space
in very public areas for posting. We will need
to revisit this issue this semester. I would
suggest a draft by Associated Students after
discussions with Sandy Kuchler, Associate
Dean of Student Affairs and Bridget BaileyMeier, Director Student Activities and Alumni
Services
8. There is not enough time between
Final Exams and there can be too many in
one day. The finals schedule is set, as a
policy matter, by committee. I will ask Ms.
Eugenia Villamarin to review the situation
and check into the number of conflicts or
multiple exams in one day which are in the
fall schedule. . To extend the final exam
schedule to five or more days from four
would require action on the part of Academic

Senate. If you have any comments about the
final exam schedule, please contact Ms.
Villamarin at752-4326. Remember that once
the exam is over, the faculty member's work
on thefinalstarts. The earlier that the exams
are finished, the faster they can be graded.
9. Why aren't parking regulations
changed for weekends? Why can't students park in the "upper lots" on Saturday, Sunday and after 5 pm on weekdays?
Per Mr. Arnold Trujillo, Director of Public
Safety, students with a current semester parking permit are allowed to park in the faculty/
staff parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays.
Effective immediately (see related article elsewhere in this issue of The Pride), evening
students currently enrolled at CSUSM who
hold a current semester parking permit may
exchange that permit for a Special "PM"
Parking Permit at Public Safety Services in
the University Services Building. The Special "PM" Parking Permit allows students to
park in the faculty/staff parking lot after 5 PM
and in the student parking lots any time.
There is no charge for the permit exchange.
Enrollment in evening classes will be verified before a "PM" Parking Permit is issued.
Public Safety business hours are Monday
through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM.
10. When will athletics come and
will it change the academic climate around
here? At present, especially in light of the
budget difficulties there is no motion towards
intercollegiate athletics. We will be moving
toward recreational sports (and hope to have
some on campus) in the near future. There
has been talk of beach volleyball, some informal soccerfieldsand so on but there is are no
formal plans yet.
11. There is difficulty with the writing requirement as there are many ways to
write formally and students get confused
between the styles of MLA, APA, and that
which the College of Business Administration wants. I will bring this issue up to the
deans of the College and to Dr. Ken Mendoza
who is director of the Writing Center. If
anyone has specific comments about the writing requirement, please call Richard Molloy
(752-4900), Dr. Mendoza (752-4076) or Richard Millman (752-4050) so that we can
include them into the discussions. Once we
understand all of the issues, we will bring
them to the appropriate faculty groups for
policy decisions.

�GHANA
TRIP
Contemplated
for '94-95
Have you ever really envisioned yourself as a guest in a village in Ghana, not just
watching but participating in traditional
dances? Do you have any curiousity about
West African political systems or how computers fit into plans of a developing country?
In January 1993, a group of 13 CSU
San Marcos students, faculty and related community members answered some of these
questions for themselves in a three-week visit
to Ghana. Initial meetings to organize a
similar trip for December 1994-January 1995
are currently being held by the Ghana Project,
a campus organization established by previous Ghana exchange participants and other
interested people.
Whether you are serious or curious,
whether your interest is Africa or Mexico,
whether you are an experienced world traveler or have never made it beyond Poway,
you are encouraged to learn more about this
extraordinaiy opportunity. If you were not
able to attend Professor Jennie Spencer
Green's presentation on Nov. 18, more information about the Ghana Trip and the Ghana
Project can be obtained at the Peer Advising
Center in Arts and Sciences or in the campus
Student Activities Office.

In-Course Honors work at CSUSM is
designed to serve academically motivated
undergraduate students, who desire to meet
and feel prepared to meet expanded intellectual demands, and who are committed
to the highest standards of rigorous academic performance. In-Course Honors
work occurs in currently scheduled courses
and is based on a contract between the
student and the eligible faculty instructor
for enriched academic work that extends
the subject matter of the course. The
CSUSM University Honors Program is
designed to serve eligible students who
wish a sustained Honors experience ineluding student/faculty camaraderie and
community involvement and who wish to
graduate with University Honors. University Honors is distinct from Latin Honors
which is based soley on grade point averae
8Students involved in all Honors work at
CSUSM will be challenged to demonstate excellent academic performance,
extending beyond standard course demands, to achieve growth of intellectual
independence and initiative, and toicontribute to the scholarly environment of the
institution. Honors work is offerred as part
of the Mission Statement of CSUSM to
"uphold a high level of academic scholarship in research and teaching" with the
ultimate goal "to enable students to realize
their potentialities as enlightened individuals and productive members of society in a
world of change."
Students, may self-select to participate
in In-Course Honors work at any stage of
their academic career by pursuing an Honors contract in any currently scheduled
course taught by a permanent faculty member. Any student, regardless of test scores
and grade point average, may decide that a
particular course, in any semester, provides the opportunity to apply for Honors '
participation. A preliminary list of preapproved courses in which Honors contracts are encouraged appears in the Class
Schedule each semester. The Honors contract enables students to participate in the
regular class while doing additional Honors work. The interested student should
contactthepermanentfaculty member who
will teach the course in order to develop
jointly an Honors contract. Alternatively,
students interested. in a specific course
listed in the current Class Schedule and
taught by a permanent faculty member
may contact the Director of the University
Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall.
Recognition of successful completion of each
in-Course Honors contract is made on the
student's official transcript and on the
student's semester grade report,
T h e student and permanent faculty member will collaborate on the work that will
constitute the Honors portion of the course,
T h e University Honors Committee must app r o v e both the In-Course Honors portion of
t h e course and the specific contract work,
Honors Contract forms will be available from
participating faculty, from the Director of the
University Honors Program in 6227 Craven
Hall, or from the Office of Curriculum Serv i c e s i n 5 2 i o Craven Hall. All approvals
m u s t be obtained prior to the end of the
second week of classes,
Students may become members of the
University Honors Program by completing at
least two Honors Courses with grades B or
better and holding a CSUSM grade point
average of 3.2 or better. Continuation requires Honors credit in at least one course for
every other semester of enrollment as a
CSUSM student and maintenance of a
CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 6r better,
Completion of the University Honors Prog r a m requires 12 units of In-Course Honors
w o r k, the 3-unit Honors Seminar University
400, documentation of at least 40 hours of
meaningful community service, and a
CSUSM grade point average of at least 3.2.
University 400 is an all-University Honcourse restricted to students in the University Honors Program. It is based on a
seminar model, and it will entail a high level
Df student preparation and intellectual engagement between students and professor,
This seminar is the capstone course, the culm i na tion of an academically challenging and
rewarding Honors experience, shared by all
University Honors Program students. The
community service requirement may be satisfied by a very broad spectrum of qualifying
activity intended to help to instill a sense of
concerned citizenship. Each Honors Program participant Collaborates with the University Honors Committee in order to define
t h e i r qualifying service activity. Completion
Qf t h e University Honors Program will be
explicitly noted on the student's diploma and

�Volunteers tell their story
By Claire Langham
Service-Learning Coordinator
More than 100 students told their stories
of volunteering last week on Monday, November 8 and Tuesday, November 9 at a
Volunteers' Table in the Plaza. Responses
ranged from "I could write a book about my
volunteering experiences" to " I've always
wanted to volunteer but haven't had time yet
- but when I do, I would like t o . . . " and they
continued by describing the type of involvement they would most enjoy.
These volunteering experiences and desires were gathered in interviews on the spot
or written by students on a short questionnaire. Information about CSUSM's students' past, present and future (desired)
volunteer activities, reflections and comments were gathered by some of the students, staff, and faculty serving on the Outreach Service-Learning Sub-Committee, as
well as some of the Circle K members.
November 8th was the first day of "Service
Week" for this club that is dedicated to
serving the community.
Students' experiences on volunteering
provide information so that these endeavors
can be recognized and shared with others.
Sharen Wahl, a Liberal Studies major, stated
that, "Volunteering is a great way to explore
the working/career world while one is at the
decision-making stage. It provides the opportunity to experience without full commitment." Sharen had first volunteered in a
veterinary hospital which led to later volunteer work for Project Wildlife. More recently, she had volunteered in a 5th grade
class, and now in the 4th grade as part of the
requirements for ED 350. During the past
two years she has been a Liberal Studies Peer
Advisor volunteer here on campus. Sharen,
like many others, balances her commitments
while prioritizing school studies and family
obligations. Many commented that volunteering was rewarding and fulfilling. Naomi
Fink, aLiberal Studies major from Temecula,
commented, "Little things that happen make
volunteering all worth it. I love to help
people and volunteering allows you to meet
a lot of special people also. There's so many
benefits to volunteering that won't all fit
here." Naomi promises to share a nonfiction story she wrote about her experiences
in a future issue.

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1993
"For Colored
Girls Who Have
Considered
Suicide When
the Rainbow is
Enuf"
By P eter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
Ntozake Shange wrote "For
Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is
E nuf' in the early 70's, but the play
still resonates. The playwright has
strung together a series of character
monologues with a thread of female
consciousness running through
them all, an ode to the alienation of
black women in America. Herjazzbased prose style reminds us of such
writers as Xam Wilson Cartier and
Ralph Ellison; her characters deliver their many colored break-away
riffs directly to the audience like
flute, violin, or even tenor sax solos. Shange simply names her players the Lady in Yellow, Lady in
Purple, Lady in Red, Lady in Orange, Lady in Green, Lady in Blue,
and Lady in Brown—seven characters in search of their true identities
as mothers, wives, lovers or daughters, spanning various levels of the
American social class structure.
The play's director, Arajeje, has
adroitly guided the entire company
of actresses into unselfish performances with an approach which has
almost entirely eliminated the selfconsciousness and stiffness usually
witnessed in amateur productions.
All of the actresses adequately take
stage when their moment to shine
comes; some sing their songs energetically and bravely, while others
sing their songs more modestly.
Nonetheless, every actress performs
like a natural woman: Dilcie D.
Perez, Lady in Blue, distinguishes
herself by speaking Shange's prose
with great confidence, truth and
passion; DorindaMcCombs,Lady
in Green, understands what it takes
to make Shange come alive, openly
playing her monologues with a
city-smart abandonment; Denise
Hollis, Lady in Orange, brings a
straightforward, blues thing to her
stories; Karen Walker, Lady in
Brown, holds her own as the most
experienced actress in the company; Ramona De Sanchez, Lady
in Purple, brings a quiet, sexy,
sophistication to her performance;
Tricia Henlon, Lady in Red, demonstrates enormous inner life,
economy and intensity for a young
actress; and Deborah Davis, Lady
in Yellow, says her words with
great truth, simplicity and honesty.
This labor of love transcends
the dimly lit, sadly inadequate confines of what passes for a theater in
ACD 102. Wisely, the set and
costumes were kept simple, focusing the audiences attention on the
high degree of naturalness and, for
the most part, energy that these
women bring to the stage, again,
highly unusual for beginning actresses. Frank Bailey-Meier's
original funky, blues-based music
contributed just the right back-
Cast Members include (L-R): Denise Hollis, Dorinda McCombs, Karen Walker, Deborah Davis, Dilcie
Perez and Center, Ramona de Sanchez
THEATER
REVIEW
ground for the actresses to play off
of, blending nicely with the sound
and movement that the company
has brought to Shange's words.
Bridget Bailey-Meier is to be
commended for her vision in getting this production presented, exactly the kind of grass-roots, cultural events which should be encouraged and nurtured here on campus. I t's regrettable that this production ran for only two performances. It would be great if it could
be resurrected at some point so that
more students might have the opportunity to appreciate it.

SOUTH MARKET STREET
JAZZ BAND AT CSUSM
Exciting Dixieland jazz, laughter,
and good times abound when the South
Market Street Jazz Band performs.
Full-time, professional musicians, the
SMSJB features hot soloists, great
showmanship and stylistic versatility.
Almost everyone in the band plays
more than one instrument, allowing the
SMSJB to cover the gamut from
traditional to swing to modern.
For more than 25 years, the band
members have combined their worldclass playing at shows and festivals
across the country, with performances
with big name entertainment such as
Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Sarah
Vaughn, and others.
The South Market Street Jazz
Band will perform at CSUSM on
Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 PM in Academic
Hall Room 102. Ticket prices are
$3.00 for CSUSM students and $5.00
for General Admission. Tickets may
be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore
or by phone (752-4730). For more
information about the South Market
Street Jazz Band, call the Arts and
Lectures office at 752-4945.
A CSUSM Quilt?
A University seal, a University mascot—OK! But a University quilt? "Why
not," said a group of students, faculty and
staff who were part of the first years of
CSUSM.
Quilts are traditional ways to record
important events. Quilts are also traditional
ways to build friendships and a sense of
community. For all these reasons, plus a
desire to break the routine of hard work which
goes with building a new university, the Quilting Bees came together in the summer of
1992 to design a signature quilt to memorialize the first two years at CSUSM.
In choosing a design, the quilters looked
for a simple pattern which would incorporate
a wide variety of donated fabric. They decided on Roman Square which allowed them
to include a white "signature block" in each
of the squares.
Signatures for the quilt were solicited
in Founders Plaza on a hot October day. For
a $2 donation, anyone could sign. $300 was
collected for donation to the Carol Cox Scholarship for re-entry students. Now the quilt
top sits in a frame about half quilted.
Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 23, the
Quilting Bees will display the quilt in the
Dome, demonstrate quilting techniques and
share quilting stories. The quilters hope to
finish this project soon so they can start on
another. Experienced or not, everyone is
invited to participate. If Tuesday is not your
day but you are still interested in quilting, see
Pat Worden or Leslie Zomalt in the College
of Arts and Sciences for further information.

American's right to choose to embrace the
dangers of drug abuse once he or she has been
presented with all the facts. When druginduced actions become a threat to the safety

�Letters to the Editor
Alcohol Policy is An
Interim Policy
Dear Editor:
In your recent article entitled "Campus
Alcohol Policy" which appeared on November 5, the Associated Students Council
felt that one important item was treated
negligibly. The A.S. would like to stress to
all students that the alcohol policy in place
at the present time is an interim policy.
Until the policy is approved by both the
Associated Students and Academic Senate,
it will not have permanence. However,
once the policy is voted upon and approved
it will be difficult to change or replace.
This fact remains important since at
present, the policy remains a temporary one
and as such is still open to input and change
from all students, faculty and staff. If you
have any questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the policy, the Associated Students urges you t o make your
voice heard as soon as possible by calling
the Associated Students' o ffice at752-4990,
or by stopping in at Commons 205. Once
this policy is in place it will be extremely
burdensome to change. Please do not wait
until it is too late to be heard.

�"Within this Garden"
photographs of Ruth Thome-Thornsen
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
The Museum of Photographic Art has
Opened its new show with the exhibitions of two
photographers who share more than their gender; both women possess a love of subjects
ancient and mysterious. I found their work so
compelling that I decided to review them separately. In the last issue, I concentrated on the
work of Linda Connor. In this issue I discuss
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen's fantastical exhibition,
"Within this Garden."
Thomsen builds her images around themes
from historical eras, movements in literature,
and mythology. By blending separate images
normally linked to diverse times and places, she
achieves what may best be described as New
Age Surrealism: her photos effectively transcend time and space, capturing dream states
neither from the past, the present, nor the future,
but somewhere we can not exactly identify. Her
romantic, avant-garde images pay homage to
such painters as Dali and Magrite but possess
enough originality to stand on their own.
Thomsen stimulates our imaginations by using
symbol, metaphor and irony ; the veiy existence
jofthis cutting edge work shoots down unimaginative critics who have suggested that photography has limitations as a viable and versatile
artistic medium.
Thomsen rejects the conventional camera,
resorting to a pinhole camera which may be
constructed out of any light-tight chamber simply by drilling a minute hole in the front of it. By
^creating a camera out of something as simple as
cal treat on many levels.
The extreme depth-of-field produced by the
tiny pin hole create optical illusions related to
object sizes from the foreground to the background of the image. Playing with this allows
Thomsen to create some of her paradoxes and
ironies. For example, sometimes a person standing in the background seems dwarfed by a seemingly huge object in the foreground, actually a
small facsimile of a classical statue, pyramid, or
monolith. In using these simple techniques,
Thomsen make sophisticated statements about
our preconceptions and expectations of what we
expect from an image made by a camera—
usually a safe and conventional reaffirmation of
our own lies and myths. She cleverly uses her
camera to make these didactic images which
challenge our images of the truth, thereby making us question those safe realities which we
cling to. Thomsen clearly shows us that the
camera lies, and that it allows us to use it as both
a rhetorical and artistic medium. In this regard,
she also makes a Clear philosophical allusion to
the skepticism created when discoveries and
events challenge our perception of the truth, an
homage to the atmosphere which has spawned
past golden ages.
a shoe box or an empty cylindrical oat
meal box, Thomsen creates a metaphor
for her own images. Her work is a true
paradox—photographs which are dif-
ferent from the way we usually think
of them, made by art unconventional camera. This makes her entire exhibit a phenomenal, whimsi-
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen now has a book of her
adventurous work which may be purchased at
the Museum of Photographic Art's bookstore.
The Museum is located at 1649 El Prado in

�CHASQUISUSM
Andean Music Lives at C
CHASQUI is one of two artist-in-residence ensemble groups proudly supported by CSUSM as
part of its Global Arts Program. The group was
formed by Don Funes, a visual and performing arts
professor; composer, conductor; recording engineer; chamber and orchestral performer, musicologist and ethnomusicologist.
Funes received his
doctorate in musical arts from the University of
Oregon. Dr. Funes1 interest in music and culture led
him to conduct and intensive study of Andean
music. He began in 1986, and in 1991 received an
NEH Fellowship to study Latin American music and
culture.
CHASQUI plays music from the Andean region
of South America on over 20 different instruments
unique to the peoples of this area. The guitar is the
only European instrument that the ensemble uses.
Although they favor the music of Bolivia and Peru,
they also play music from Ecuador; Chile and Argentina, the countries that were part of the Inca
Empire. They also sing in Spanish and Quecha.
CHASQUI features Dr. Don Funes, Fermin
Sanchez and Eduardo Garcia (originally from
Mexico), Raul Ay lion from Bolivia and Gunnar Biggs.
The group is dedicated to bringing appreciation of
Andean music and culture to America. You can
hear CHASQUI perform Wednesday, December 1,
at 12 Noon, in ACD 102.
Members of Chasqui are (left to right): Fermin Sanchez, Eduardo Garcia, Dr. Don Funes, Gunnar Biggs and

THE PRIDE/ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1993
Seeing Red
By Sarah Spaid
A red dress ignites the fantasies of men.
The other red dress lands you your new
job. Sports cars speed through the night.
Flashy, heated moments stir powerful
emotions. The power you feel when you
attend a board meeting in red socks.
Reflections of light glistening as the sun
sets beyond the horizon. A Porsche speeds
through Malibu, leaving a mere red trace.
Illicit remarks painted on slashed canvas.
Soft spoken words on steamy phone lines.
Red chiffon scarves and straw hats worn
opening day at the races. Heated passions
engorge the imagination when lipstick
smoothes warm, wet lips. Pursed red lips
leave no room for kissing. The mark a
woman leaves on a m an's face. The mark
mother leaves on her litde angel. A hint of
suspicion—smeared red lipstick all over
her face. Consequently, days later, lipstick
found on his collar.
Strawberry creams atop a torte. Strawberry shortcake, a freckled-face doll. Juicy
red raspberries, awaiting their digestion in
the pit of a red-walled stomach. Fornication at night; sex in the day; a quick frolic
in the hay? Ruby red grapefruit, cherries
the color of blood. Childhood memories of
that bicycle spill, an open wound, and that
gash in your knee, your father in a rage.
Bloodshot eyes, suspicions arise. Drunkards, d ruggies... lover's quarrels, heated
discussions, Othello's rage of jealousy.
Lucille Ball. Red heads. Charred
remains of smoldering pains brand memories in our heads. Red roses brought on a
warm summer n ight Red roses flung with
all her might. A bloody fingers erupts from
the broken vase. A scorpion sting when
influenced by fiery mars. Cardinals with
red feathers at r est Power and austerity
emerge as his red wings start in flight, like
an English army clad in red, ready to fight

he daydreams of her eating i t The power
he feels when he receives an "A."
Hemoglobin, red blood cells. Blood
clots. Red wine devoured at dusk. Dracula
dripping with tonight's dessert. A library
tailored in dark, rich wood, filled with
lingering cigar smoke, and the smoking
jacket for tonight's entanglements.
Red flags represent Russian revolution,
Chinese communism. Oppression equates
bloodshed. Red, white and blue mean
freedom for me and you. Red signifies
death to the Crips, and life for the Bloods.
Evoking violence, betrayal of life, and
death to the innocent, red portrays bleak
pictures in the neighborhood, el barrio, as
the Mexican, Chicanos, and Latinos say.
Redrum, murder. Maraschino cherries full
of infamous red dye #5. RedM&Ms
disappear and reappear. Cancer-causing
agents disappoint unwitting children. Santa
Claus brings happy thoughts and stockings
stuffed with lollipops. Red ribbons, red
bows, merry Christmas with the fire aglow.
Firemen to the rescue. Heroes of
children, saviors of us all. Sirens shouting,
alarms alerting us to get out of the way of
the help on its way. Fire hydrants. Fire
dogs—Dalmatians with red collars. Brake
lights, traffic jams, stop signs. Inevitable
red lights flash when late and in a rush.
Congestion. Confusions. Frustration. In
cartoons, heads turn red, and release steam
via blood-filled ears. We go straight down
in a blaze of glory. Conversely, we go up
to the flashy red lights of heaven, or the
deepest pits of hell, depending on our own
subjective views.
Red bricks provide meals for bricklayers,
and shelter for their families. Red roofs
insulate tiled homes and furnish the Baja
Coast with aesthetic delights. Roll out the
red carpet; the queen arrives today.
Observing her royal red throne, we all
obey.
