CSUSM leads this year's competition, which finishes on March 27, since week one, according to Carl Hanson, an Administrative Analyst at CSUSM. "We're doing well/' said Hanson, coordinator for the recycling campaign. "We started out in the lead and the lead has shrunk a little bit but were still up by good seven, seven and a half points, and we're hopeful that we'll continue to do well enough to come in ahead." -^ , V* Íííi&.í « sBllliillliiil llSllllllii II* t Photo by James Seabring The results of the competition are announced in mid-April, once all the participants have sent in their data, according to recyclemania.org. Universities and colleges compete against each other over a 10-week period to see which has the best recycling program. RecycleMania ranks participants according to which category they entef. These categories include most recyclables per capita, the highest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash per capita, Image courtesy of CSUSM.edu and who has achieved the highest recycling rate. For more information about the event go to www. recyclemania.org. CSUSM enters the highest recycle rate category and holds the title of Grand Champion for the past five years in a row. Hanson said the reason he feels the campus has done so well over the years is down to good planning. "First of all, when this university was established, we began the recycling program at the same time. So when everybody got their trash containers they got blue ones. So from the very beginning in the offices and the classrooms everybody saw that you can recycle and it was just a given. "It was like putting your seatbelt on. You just do it," Hanson saidv Recycle bins are located all over the campus and are placed next to trash containers. They are color coded and labeled to avoid confusion between the twoT Support has also been an important part of the success.

Booths supplied information about alcohol consumption, sexual protection, transportation, and activities associated with spring break. At the event the mock-tails of Screwdrivers, and Shirley Temples, gave the students not only a refreshment to enjoy with their Chick-Fil-A but informative facts about alcohol's effects on the body. Students who pledged not to drink and drive during spring break received free chicken sandwiches. Those who pledged also wore a bracelet, showing other students through out the day that they had made the pledge. When student Stevie Perez was asked about the pledge he made, he said, "It's a great reminder. I will keep the pledge bracelet on to remind me not to drink and drive, and to remember to not let my own friends drink and drive." At the mock-tail booth, volunteers supplied pamphlets on alcohol poisoning, and information about designated drivers. The booth also promoted the RADD program, where designated drivers supplying the pledge card with the RADD logo would receive free non-alcoholic beverages at the 23 participating bars in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area. If students are staying local, the event promoted the Breeze Sprinter as a transportation alternative to driving. The Sprinter can transport drinking students safely to the popular areas by the beach, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Unfortunately, the Sprinter's last pick up from Oceanside is an early See ASI, Page 3 Photo by Mollane Dressel Looking to get involved with school, experience to add to your resume, or an extra j ob?

The site, found at chatroulette.com, incorporates one-onone instant messaging and video chat in a new way that could re-revolutionize online interaction. Chatroulette, which launched in late 2009, is now generating high traffic in the US and around the world, according to the tracking company Alexa. I think part of this newfound interest can be attributed to the press it received about the some users exploit the video feature for sexual purposes. The website could easily launch itself among the ranks of Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace by changing its anonymous, instant action set up t o a site that requires users to create ,a profile, like the aforementioned network sites. This addition of profiles would have two radical consequences. First, it would allow users to stay connected and chat with friends, similar to Skype or AIM, but still let them meet new people, who could be àdded as friends. This would result in a personal touch for users to enjoy. Second, it would decrease the amount of sexual deviants that lurk the website. Website moderators could ban and block profiles of users who act explicitly and expose themselves on camera. I have estimated it is roughly ten percent of users who do explicit acts to give the website a bad reputation, and if moderators eliminated them, Chatroulette would flourish. Facebook and Twitter and Facebook MySpace have already proven that people enjoy staying connected with friends using profile systems. By also allowing users to connect with strangers, Chatroulette could be part of the movement that earned the Internet a nomination for the Noble Peace Prize, The committee cited the openness of Internet communication around the world has allowed for ideas to be shared in a way that could bring global unity. Since using Chatroulette, I have met people f rom Sweden, Korea, South A frica, and China, j ust to n ame a few countries. This experience humanizes people f rom d ifferent countries, and it reemphasizes the sentiment that we are not that different, despite what country we live in. Lastly, I have a hunch that Facebook w ill soon have a similar video interaction feature. Facebook, which managed to keep Twitter f rom overtaking it by the changing t he the set up f or status u pdates, might add a Chatroulette-clone f eature as a application. Either way, the global implications a re exciting. Chatrcsutaö»!

The students have been supportive and involved from the beginning as well," said Hanson. From ASI, page 1 8:33pm, so the mock-tails booth also endorsed the idea of getting a room in the area where drinking was to take place, or taking a cab home. Tuesday, March 23, 2 0 1 0 The competition started in 2001 with just two schools, Ohio University and Miami University, and it now covers over 600^schools, including international participants in Canada and Qatar. The growth of RecycleMania can be further illustrated since such large corporations as Coca Cola now sponsor it. CSUSM also recycles construction materials like metals, tiles and wood as well as green waste and hazardous waste like lamps. The next step for the university is to create a composting program to deal with the food service areas. This extra work will not affect the results of the competition, said Hanson. Many students at the event believed that the purpose of the event, safety while having fun, was great to have right before spring break, but some students thought that the purpose of the event was not being fully repre- sented. Student Akeisa Abercrombie commented about how influential the event was actually on students. "They are giving awareness, it's not enough, but at least they're taking the initiative to help people make smart decisions." The event may not be enough to guarantee that every student will have a safe Spring Break, but it definitely was presented to enough students to make a difference. House of Representatives approves sweeping health care overhaul BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor A year long debate on health care in America has come to an end as House Democrats passed legislation this last weekend to fundamentally overhaul the nation's health care system in the coming decades. President Obama is expected to sign the legislation on Tuesday, marking the end of a drawn out and polarizing public debate that has divided Republicans and Democrats across the country. The overhaul is expected to provide coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans by 2019. The reform legislation is comprised of two separate bills, the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3950). Both bills passed with a vote of 219-212, a narrow victory buoyed by a majority coalition of House Democrats. The House Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, an indicator of a lasting partisan divide on the issue that has come to dominate the debate. To secure support from wavering Democrats, advocates of the legislation were forced to make some key concessions, abandoning ambitions for a governmentrun insurance program and prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortions. Republicans unanimously opposed the legislation, indicating the partisan nature of the health care overhaul debate. Under the new legislation, Insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny coverage to individuals based on pre-existing conditions and will eventually be barred from charging higher premiums or canceling services for these individuals. The overhaul also also includes requirements for workers to insure their employees and citizens to obtain insurance, instituting steep fines for failures to comply. LastThursdaytheCongressional Budget Office (CBO) placed the cost of the overhaul at $940 billion in the first ten years, with a $138 billion reduction in the deficit during that time. The CBO also projected a potential reduction of the deficit by as much as one half percent of the GDP in the subsequent decade. President Obama Image courtesy of childlifehope.org Solidarity vs. Ignorance: Uniting Against Anti-Indian Assignments at CSUSM commented on the passage of the reforms, saying, "Congress finally declared that America's workers, America's families, and America's small businesses deserve the security of knowing that here in this country, neither illness nor accident should endanger the dreams they've worked a lifetime to achieve." House Minority leader, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), expressed his frustration with the bill just before it went to a vote, saying, "In this economy, with this, unemployment, with our desperate for jobs and economic growth, is this really the time to raise taxes, create bureaucracies and, and burden every job creator in our land? The answer is no."

Most major airlines charge a fee to check only one bag. Public transportation is a potential nightmare when you're lugging 50 extra pounds of stuff around with you. "Backpackfag" is redefined when your pack is too big to carry on your back. With some planning and paring down, your pack and mood will improve. The first failure of persistent over-packers is that they do not plan ahead. Making lists isn't just for the obsessive compulsive anymore. Lists help you prioritize what items __ you need verses what items are most used. Student Katie Freligh combats common problems when she packs her bags. "I always want to pack too much," Frelighsaid, "because I never know what to packjust to cover the basics." Think about the type of trip you're planning and pack for it. For example, most hotels have blow dryers, saving you the extra five pounds of weight a blow dryer would add. Opt for versatile casual shoes or sneakers instead of shoes for every occasion. Do you need that giant North Face coat? Pack your warmest sweatshirt and sacrifice some shivers. Remember to consider whether you will have access to laundry services or Laundromats. Besides remembering to pack plenty of quarters, think about the number of each item you should bring. Instead of three jeans and two shorts, pack one pair of each, and alternate your items until you get a chance to wash your clothes. Senior Shannon Brogan suggested an alternative to the traditional trifold for clothes. "Roll your shirts and pants, and sit on [the bag] if you have to," she said, "I'm pretty good;at getting everything in a carry-on." The kind of bag you use is as important as what goes in it Doug Dyment, "The Go Light Guru," offers three aspects to take into account when choosing luggage: quality, transportability, and airline carry-on limits. Dyment said, "you want a bag that's no laiger than carry-on size with soft sides and sturdy construction. "Soft-sided luggage is much to be preferred over the hard^shelled variety. Hard bags are heavier and do not cope with therigorsof extended travel nearly as well as their more yielding counterparts." If you are flying and decide to carry on, remember to check your airline's prohibited list Adhering to the rules will ensure a quicker checkin and help avoid being forced to throw anything out because it violates the Transportation Security Administration's rules. Buyiiig travel-size shampoos or lotions will also lighten up the weight ofyour luggage. The TSA allows most items they deem hazardous in checked bags. Their website, tsa.gov, offers a downloadable PDF for quick reference. For the truly impaired, Mats Henricson created the Universal Packing List, an interactive, user-friendly list customizable to the individual's travel needs. Find the UPL at http'J/ upl.codeq.info/.

Nearest to CSUSM, Mexico is a popular travel destination with cheaper hotel costs than other vacation spots and is known for a high tolerance of underage drinking, great beaches and fun activities. Although a spring break get-a-away to Mexico sounds like the perfect adventure, this popular student vacation spot is also known for dangerous drug activity and caution must be taken when traveling aboard. The U.S State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs have issued a recent travel alert expressing that a number of locations along the U.S Mexico border are experiencing rapid growth in the rates of robberies, homicides, carjackings and petty of our local theme parks. Students can head to SeaWorld or the Wild Animal Park for a day of fun with friends. The Wild Animal Park offers a butterfly jungle March 27- April 18, this butterfly jungle allows guests to walk through and enjoy a simulated South American rain forest with a variety of butterflies available to see and interact with. Sea World celebrates spring nights with a firework show and special late night sea lion show.

"Mexican drug cartels are engaged in violent conflict, both among themselves and with Mexican security services, for control of narcotics trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border. To combat violence, the government of Mexico has deployed military troops throughout the country. U.S. citizens should cooperate fully with official checkpoints when traveling on Mexican highways,1" said the travel alert. "Common-sense precautions such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas during daylight hours, and avoiding areas where prostitution and drug dealing might occur, can help ensure that travel to Mexico is safe and enjoyable," continued the advisory. More safety tips for traveling include always taking the main roads and traveling during the daylight hours, travel in a group, do not travel alone, and never dis- play expensive watches, purses or even jewelry as these items can viewed as easy targets for crimes. Another precaution when traveling is to check with your cellular provider for international cell phone reception and service. Many carriers offer this service for a limited amount of days, not a long-term contract, and for a sensible price. For convenience and safety, a cell phone can be used in case of an emergency. U.S citizens can contact the nearest U.S consulates or the U.S Embassy in case of any trouble.

CSUSM completes the threegame road sweep of the Golden Eagles, members of NCAA Division II and the CCAA Conference. The Cougars improve to 17-7 this season, while CSULA drops to 12-13. In game one, the Cougars got down early, battled back to take a commanding lead, then held on for dear life at thè end. Starting pitcher Travis McCracken gave another strong effort, allowing four runs in six innings of work. All those runs were scored in the third inning, and McCracken was able to bounce back and shut out CSULA for the rest of his outing. The win improves him to 5-1 this season. A Matt Jenkins solo home run put CSUSM up 1-0, but the team found itself down 4-1 after CSULA's big third inning. The Cou- gars would cut into that lead in the fourth and fifth innings, with Mike Pena driving in Josh Miller in the former, and Miller driving in Kevin Silvett in the latter. CSUSM's patience at the plate played a huge role in the win. The Cougars drew 11 walks in the contest, and they played a key role in a six-run sixth inning that ultimately decided the game. Pena and Omar Manzanarez led off the frame by drawing walks, and Ricardo Moran drove in the inning's first run with a base hit. Secciani, Silvett, and Miller all walked, pushing home two more runs, and a Ryle Parks base hit brought two more runs home. Finally, Pena earned his second walk to extend the inning, and an error pushed the Cougar lead to 9-4. CSUSM stayed patient in the seventh, as Moran, Secciani, Silvett, and Miller were walked in order to lead of the inning, making it 10-4. The Cougars got a taste of their own medicine in the eighth; however, as the bullpen walked three men to start the inning and CSULA took advantage, scoring four runs to cut it to 10-8. But closer Spencer Pardon was able to work out of it, getting all three outs in the eighth and working a relatively easy ninth to pick up the save. Game two would play out much the same way, minus the late comeback attempt by the Golden Eagles. Starting pitcher Johnny Holtman earned his first win of the year, striking out two and walking none in four innings of work. He gave up four runs in the third inning, but like McCracken, was flawless in the rest of his work. Silvett got things started for CSUSM in the first, belting a solo home run to, but once again the Cougar offense didn't really kick in until they were down 4-1. In the top of the fourth, Johnny Omahen singled in Mitch Ferguson to make it 4-2, and the Cougars would go on to take their first lead the following inning. Moran led off the fifth with a single, and with two outs, Miller reached on an error, and Parks made the defense pay with a huge three-run home run to put his team up 5-4. After reliever Ricky Chavarria worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the inning, Miller. doubled home Secciani to put CSUSM up 6-4. CSULA threatened in the bottom of the sixth, putting two on with no outs, but Julienne entered the game and put out the fire, inducing a double-play and fly out to get out of the jam unscathed. In the top of the seventh and final inning, the Cougar offense put it out of reach. Ferguson and Omahen led off with singles, and after a failed sacrifice bunt, Manzanarez drew a walk to load the bases for Moran. Moran would put the cherry on top of what has been a brilliant series at the plate for virtually the entire Cougar lineup, ripping a triple down the right field line to clear the bases. Julienne struck out the side in the seventh to earn his first save of the season, secure the 9-4 win, and finish off the huge sweep. The Cougars are off to a great start to their tour of the CCAA conference, but things won't get easier at #2 UC San Diego on the road on Monday at 2:00 PM.

CSUSM defeated Kenyon College 11-0, then the U. of Puget Sound 10-1. The wins push CSUSM's win streak to 8 games, and improve the team to 16-6 this season. Sandberg improves to 15-3 this season. Against Kenyon, the Cougar offense powered the team to three runs in the first, one in the second, two in the third, and finallyfivein the fifth to close the game out via the mercy rule. Shanti Poston led all batters with three hits, and teammates Elizabeth Bush, Alicia Ingram, Alyssa Dronenburg, and Erica Coelho all tallied a pair of hits. Coelho and Lauren Nelson drove in two runs each in what was a very balanced effort at the plate. On the mound, Sandberg cruised to the victory, tossing four innings of three-hit, zerowalk shutout ball. She struck out five hitters before Ciera Ashman came in to close out the game. It was much of the same in the second half of the double-header, as CSUSM jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second and never looked back. Ingram, the speedster, and power-hitting Dronenburg led the way, with the former going 4-for-4 with J runs and 2 RBI, and the latter going 3-for-5 with her ninth home run of the season and 5 RBI. Sandberg survived a seasonhigh 7 walks by striking out a season-high 14 in six innings of work. She allowed just three hits and one run before giving way to Chanel Rose, who threw a perfect seventh to cap the victory. CSUSM will continue play at the Sun West Tournament on Saturday when they face St. Mary's and host school Chapman.

W hat does it mean to "go green?" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Last Wednesday was Earth Day and the major television studios were all over it. Local and national news shows changed their logos and fonts to green for the day and featured an incredible amount of stories about recycling. Nevertheless, it was all a show. The next day logos were back to the same colors and the news proceeded as usual. The media needs to be wiser when it comes to environmentally responsible practice. Earth Day is only one day a year, but the meaning of the day should carry through. The actions of the news stations perpetuate the trend that environmental concerns are a trend more than anything else. It was difficult to watch news anchors get excited about recycling when it was obvious they were using some reserved fake enthusiasm. They do not need to get so excited about local recycling on one day. Rather, they should stress the importance of responsible behavior. It was deceiving. Just because they changed logos to green for a day does not help the problems. Sure, it was better than not doing anything. Yet, what they did is similar to an individual solving the D arfur crisis by wearing a red shirt. There is awareness, but they really are not doing anything. If a company really wanted to show they are going green, they could do more in depth stories about alternative energy, promoting recycling, and using their power to motivate the people. One of the reasons people do not care about the environment is because of ignorance. This is where the responsibility o f the television news comes into play. Based on the amount of murder and robbery stories covered, one can assume they have no problem scaring the population. If the news really wants to "go green," they need to let people know that failure to care for the environment will lead to our downfall. It is not a trend. It is being responsible and ethical. Miss USA pageant- the controversy of 2 009 BY BRITTNEY COKER Pride Staff Writer T his y ear's Miss USA pageant succeeded in c reating a controversy that w ill outlast the r eign of the newly crowned Miss USA ( North C arolina's K risten Dalton). No, none of the b eauty queens slipped in t heir evening gowns nor had b athing suit m alfunctions — the controversy, strangely enough, o ccurred d uring the interview. Miss C alifornia, C arrie P rejean, randomly selected the question w ritten by Judge M ario L avandeira, the openly gay c elebrity blogger k nown as Perez H ilton. The question seemed h armless enough "Vermont recently b ecame the f ourth state to legalize samesex m arriage. Do you t hink every state should follow suit? Why or why n ot?" Same-sex m arriage a hot issue today and the question c ouldn't have been more appropriate. Miss CA, C arrie P rejean's answer not only o ffended the j udges, but people around the country. She s tated, "We live in a land where you can c hoose same-sex m arriage or opposite, and you know what, I t hink in my country, in my family, I t hink t hat I believe t hat a marriage should be b etween a man and a woman. No o ffense to anybody out t here, but t hat's how I was r aised." W hile I r espect all viewpoints on the issue of samesex m arriage, I feel the Miss USA pageant is not the platform to express these t ypes of opinions. The Miss USA pageant con- sists of 50 c ontestants r epresenting t heir home s tates and c ompeting to r epresent the United States as a whole. As a r epresentative and as a public f igure, one must s trive to r epresent as many c onstituents as possible. Miss CA's answer, although t rue to her p ersonal b eliefs, was not r epresentative of C alifornia nor the U.S. and abandoned her r esponsibility t o the people of b oth her state and country. Additionally, it is i mportant to note that she did not answer Perez H ilton's question. I believe t his whole c ontroversy could have b een avoided if Miss CA had a nswered the question she was given and ended on that note. Hilton clearly asked if Miss CA felt the other states should follow Vermont and l egalize gay-mar- riage. T here w as not a single mention of t he s tates, t heir a bility to d ecide on t his issue, or even of C alifornia's c urrent decision on P roposition 8. It is sad to me t hat Miss CA decided to t ake t his r oute highlighting how d ivided we stand as a n ation. I w ish she would have put h er p ersonal beliefs aside f or o ne n ight and understood h er p lace as a public f igure. We do not live in a c ountry w here you can choose b etween s ame-sex m arriage or opposite (whatever that is supposed to mean), but maybe one day we w ill. Maybe wheji that day c omes, we can l earn to be a n ation t hat s tands united r ather t han d ivided on the b asis of p ersonal choice. No o ffense t o anyone out there, but I w as r aised t o love everyone no m atter what.

Alexander Hoang, the presidential incumbent, won the ASI presidential election. Many rumors and speculations regarding delay of the presidential election results ensued after ASI released theresultsof all the other ASI positions. Lynn Tcxbert, ASI Vice President and Chair ofthe Elections Committee, answered a few questions: Why did the presidential election results take so long to be revealed? Unfortunately, we hadmany allegations fUed against candidates, mostly the presidential candidates. Therefore, we could notreleasetheresultsof the presidential election until investigations andfollow-upswere finished How do you fed the process went? It was a very long process, but luckily, I had a great election committee and advisors toworkwith. We did a good job handling each situation as problems arose.

The panel was comprised of Dr. George Vouiiitis and Dr. Vrvienne Bennet, both from CSUSM, and Mr. Bruce Wilkinson from Water Business. The Political Science Club together with the Model United Nations Club sponsored the event The discussion focused on various factors of water scarcity within our county, including the cost of importing water and what solutions may be possible for preventing future water scarcities. Dr. Vouiiitis aimed his presentation on the general facts of the water cycle, including the process of water inputs, outputs, storage, and climate models. '"Given the low variable rainfall of ourregion,most of our water has to be imported," Vouiiitis said Vouiiitis pointed out that climate models predict an increase in temperature and a decline in rainfall in the western U.S.resultingin less water causing the current Level 2 drought "The Mure looks grim," Vouiiitis added Bennet focused on where our water camefromstating that 54 percent of our water supplyfor2008came from the Colorado River basin. "Southern California is in a crisis. We are importing about 85 percent of our water," Bennet said She discussed the idea of creating new canals and river pipelines for a more direct form ofreceivingwater but discussed how that mayresultas a heavy tax burden to taxpayers. Wilkinson wrapped up discussion by expanding on drinking water statistics such as waterrelateddiseases and deaths as well as possible solutions to this "dry" dilemma. Welcome to the new dark ages Swine Flu becomes potential global health threat BY SANDRA CHALMERS Senior Staff Writer With pirates threatening ships at sea and a new possible epidemic of influenza threatening the globe, some may forget we are living in the 21st century. As of April 26, 2009 reports confirmswinefluintheU.S. "We have five affected states. There are eight cases confirmed in New York City, there's one case confirmed in Ohio, two in Kansas, two in Texas, and seven in California," said Dr. Richard Bresser, Acting Director for the Centers of Disease and Control Prevention, in a White House press briefing on the swine flu epidemic. Mexico, considered the center of the swinefluspread, reported 22 of 86 suspected deaths as a direct result of the virus, and approximately 1,600 currently infected as of late Sunday, according to the Associated Press. Mexico city officials warned citizens to suspend any travel, urged people to avoid public areas and wear mouth-masks to prevent further contamination, school has also been cancelled for flu cases, including Mexico, the U.S, Canada, New Zealand and Isreal. students..

He teaches in both undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of quantitative and survey research methods. Balian was nominated for 2007-2008 President's Award for Innovations in Teaching (a university record of eight nominations). In conjunction with his academic success, Balian has an established career as a musician, photographer, and an author of business texts. "The Pride" had the opportunity to sit down and interview Professor Balian. THE PRIDE: You have an impressive resume. How do you find the time to do it all? EDWARD BALIAN: I would sum it up by saying I use operation management applications in my life to manage my time. It's all about efficiency, planning, and organizing important business and personal elements. Operation management helps me make the best use of my time and helps me operate my busy life, being efficient in their time usage (as in operations management techniques), and having a strong self-discipline—you need both. I believe all people are capable of accomplishing far more than what they think they can IF they really apply themselves. THE PRIDE: On your website, you stated that your lifechanging, first rock and roll record was "Walk, Don't Run" (1959) by The Ventures. Can you describe the experience and how it changed your life? BALIAN: Well, this was before your time. The album was huge. It was a huge record. It's what you would call "surf guitar" nowadays. The drums were so wild and rocked up. I was hooked from there. I was about ten years old [and] the record was like outer space futuristic. From then on, I wanted to play guitar. THE PRIDE: On your website, you state that your favorite bands are The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Can you tell me why? BALIAN: Creativity. They have creativity beyond anyone else, even to this day. With these groups, you don't know what to expect next. They were so captivating. THE PRIDE: What was your first musical experience? BALIAN: When I was about eight or ten years old, I wrote an original piece on the clarinet. The piece was about two minutes long. But after I heard the guitar, there was no more clarinet for me. Actually, my uncle was a concert symphony violinist. All my aunts and uncles played something. THE PRIDE: Was the clarinet your first instrument then? BALIAN: Yes, the clarinet and drums on shoe boxes. THE PRIDE: So how did the GeorgeEdwards Group come together? BALIAN: The GeorgeEdwards Group is a two-piece band. Raymond George, my musical partner in Los Angeles, is the cofounder. Our group came from a four-piece band from Detroit. It was about the late 60's or early 70's. I guess you can say the Edwards Group evolved from the Detroit band, Andromeda. That was before anyone knew how to say Andromeda; it was before the book "Andromeda Strain." THE PRIDE: Can you recall your first concert experience? BALIAN: I was about sixteen. It was a Beatles concert. I was twenty feet away from them. I paid five dollars and fifty cents that was top price at the time. The arena had about 18,000 people. It was a huge audience. This was way before the rock stadiums. It was almost unheard of to have a crowd that large. Back then, that was a giant concert. It was wild. THE PRIDE: How would you describe the sound of the GeorgeEdwards Group? BALIAN: That's the key to our album's success. The reviewers say that our music is unique and different. It's not a like the Stones, Beatles or Pink Floyd. It's like pieces of all those bands mixed together. I would describe it as a swirling combination of those sounds. We were just trying to be ourselves, that's the secret. We were just being ourselves. We weren't trying to fit the mold. Actually, I was told within this past year that our sound is like "Space Rock," a sound in Europe during the early 70's. We'd never even heard of that or had no idea it existed. We have a large following in Europe actually. That's where a lot of our fans come from. I think music is characterized as being esoteric, intellectual, and psychedelic. It's not the kind of music you would hum in your car. It's something deeper than that. THE PRIDE: Do you have any new projects in the works? BALIAN: Yes, actually I have a lot in the works. The GeorgeEdwards Group is working on two brand new CDs. Our record company made a deal with iTunes and we'll be on that pretty soon. There is also a vinyl record reissue being re-pressed. Silversky Orchestra just completed a CD of piano and orchestra music. I am also working on recording two brand new songs. THE PRIDE: So if you could spend the rest of your life not worrying about anything and doing whatever you want, what would you do? BALIAN: Exactly what I am doing right now. I love teaching and I love my students. I want their success and I want to see all of them succeed. I also want some sort of involvement in music and the other creative arts. THE PRIDE: Do you have any last words of advice? BALIAN: Yes, this is an interesting story. The band, you never know what's going to happen next. You never know what's going to happen in your life. Always do your best all the time. You never know what will happen, what opportunities will come, when they'll come. Always, always do your best no matter what you're doing. THE PRIDE: Last question, if you had a superpower what would it be? BALIAN: I would want to live forever, to help others and create.

CSUSM recycled an all time high of 78 percent. CSUSM's Blue Crew and Green Team diligently sorted through the garbage and ^ recycle cans, sep- ^ arating out recyclables from nonrecyclables. CSUSM owes its fifth consecutive win to each and every member of the campus community. From the students who made the effort to throw stuff in the bins, to administration who provided the bins in quantity, to staff who went through old files and trash, to people involved in supply acquisitions who order materials that are recyclable. CSUSM Recycling Coordinator Carl Hanson also personally thanked member of the UniverVillage Apartments for their involvement in RecycleMania. "Special thanks to Brian Dawson and everyone over at UVA for the great help that they gave in their first year of participation in RecycleMania. Their effort was awesome," said Hanson. CSUSM won the competition by almost 14 points above the nearest competitor. Other prize winners include first time entrant McNeese State University who grabbed both the "Stephen K. Gaski Per Capita Classic" and "Corrugated Cardboard" awards. What makes this Louisiana school's performance all the more impressive is that it is entirely student organized. Bard College won the "Food Service Organics" trophy. Kalamazoo College won "Bottles and Cans." Stephens College won a second time in the "Paper" category. Rutgers University claimed the "Gorilla Prize," which is total weight of recycling. The competition is not just a final count at the end of the 10 weeks, there is an ongoing count, which everyone knows and so the lead often changes as efforts increase to catch up, go ahead, or regain the lead.

Of the Tide Courtney Kilian For dinner: apple, goat cheese, onion, omelet. Dissolving peptides, a medicated ritual. Her porch, a smorgas of bells and chimes. Sand dollars, paper weights, stilted birds. She lost her voice a long time ago. Hysterical laryngitis. Family members knew it was her when she called because there was no response to hello other than a tapping of a pen on a hard surface. Three hard taps for How are you? Six lighter ones, two hard, four, equated to a range of other responses. For lunch: an ethereal licking of a turquoise twilight. A beached examination. Curl lipped, pencil straight teeth, bearing them whiter than she would have expected for an animal. Black skin taut as it purpled under the sun, distant maroon spots crimsoning as flies gorge flesh. Bits of shell dug into her feet. Frictions, fissures. Feel of seaweed, a slippery twirl about her leg that let her know she was not alone. Days of putting sunscreen on before going in, waiting a half hour after eating, shuffling her feet so she didn't step on a sting ray, warnings of pee turning purple when mixed with salt water. Sun, synapses, ladled fog. A ballerina punctuated, painted in the clouds. A trembling example of human origami. Of dreams collaged and tides stolen. Neighborhoods with childless strollers. Of umbilical cords tethered to tiny shoes, of pig skins, and fetuses, of a sea urchin's breath, and the tongue of a lantern's single moth. Sometimes she fell asleep in the sand. Other nights she wandered into the tide, hoping it was heavy enough to pull her out.

The feeling is mutual. The rest of the world thinks that squirrels are cute woodland creatures, but I know the truth: They are just rats with fuzzy tails using their cuteness to mooch off dim-witted humans with food to spare. I know the truth. One of the little bastards once chewed his way through my brand new beach bag as I relaxed in the sand, reading Lolita. I would never have known if it weren't for the hot guy who I thought was checking me out. He was actually watching the beast drag my trail-mix through thefreshly-chewedhole in the bottom of my bag. I would gladly have grabbed the disgusting little creature and wrung his neck myself, if it weren't for the raging case of rabies I'm sure he had. Squirrels don't like me. One day I realized how far these disgusting vermin would go, to terrorize me. It was a summer morning like any other. The sun was not yet out, which meant that I could head offto the beach for a peaceful walk, before the crowds got there. I dragged my daughter, Alexa, out of bed and informed her that she'd be joining me. After a short discussion, she relented, and we got to Ponto beach before the sun had burned off the morning haze. It was my favorite time behind the little guy, I started walking toward of day, and I was happy to be spending it with him with my arms outstretched.

The mugs are part of why he likes this place even though they say lazy, too lazy to refill you too often. That isOmer's doing. She brings him angel food cake heaped with whip cream. What else are you going to eat at 3 am? And eggs over easy with catsup, just like he likes. She brings the cake first, then circles back dumping her handful of cocoa shavings into the cream. Whip cream the color of her hair on white cake the shade of her skin, no sign of a hairline beginning, forehead ending, what people look like if you stay up all night driving transports for art supplies from state line to state line. In the doorway she reaches up, tearing down the sign above her head. Maybe the Sunday special on angel food cake. It is sweet and spongy in his mouth, sticky and thickened by her handful of cocoa. Heaven is in the details. Every fourth Thursday when Taylor crosses that state line he turns off at mile 543. And one night he is early, still in his cab just past midnight as she arrives, her Valiant chugging up to the unlit side of Omer's Diner. One booted leg steadies itself on the ground while she reaches to the back seat and grabs a karate ghi to cover herreddress. Her pale outline against the dark of mid night startles anew; wakefulness. She has never looked at him directly. Her gaze now is a brief scan against the oncoming light of another rig- eyes like the Malamute caught in his headlights. She stands, cinching the ghi, then reaches down to remove one slingback sandal, tossing it to the back seat and replacing it with an enclosed black platform. The boot up her right leg is fitted closely around the ankle, zipped along the inside of her calf, roundly treaded. He expects her to limp as if she is hiding a wooden leg under that euroboot, like a foot condemned. But she half waltzes into Omer's Diner, a swish of red keeping time to a beat in his head.

I tried to save him," but the tears were already blurring my vision. "How was I supposed to know the stupid thing would run toward me?" We walked down the beach to where the body lay. When we got close enough to get a better look at his face, we could see that it was, basically, missing. His flesh was hanging off his head. It looked like he had met the Cajun Cook and lived to tell about it, at least until I came into the picture. I felt terrible. Still, I couldn't help but think that maybe my attempt to save his life gone awry had really put him out of his misery. How long would he have wandered around the beach, trying to figure out what had given him this splitting headache, if I hadn't come along? Later that night, after I had told the story at least a hundred times, Alexa, Kendall, Dane and Jared called me into the kitchen. I could hear giggles. There, on the table, was my beach bag, the one with the hole chewed into it. A Beanie Baby squirrel, his eyes taped shut with x's, was lying near the bag. Trail mix was strewn about. "Oh my God," I thought. "Who raised these children?" Lori Greenstone for Sale' hang in the windows. As she stops to enter from the dark lot she is a Klimt still life in reverse, phosphorescent light against the kiosk dot and symmetry of too much pattern still alive. "No more angel food cake?" he asks when she reaches the table farthest from the door where Taylor seeks refuge. She looks toward the kitchen and shakes her head. He thinks it is Omer who has put an end to it, Sunday's special still there on Thursday, her feeding it to the truck drivers too old to care. He reaches for the greenware mug before it is set on the table, but she withdraws it, arcing to the side where it now rests, no splash in her, having long since lost both security and certainty. She sets the mug of coffee down with her left hand, walks away one booted foot infrontof an unequal other, a shadow of blue running up herrightarm, fading into elbow under the white ghi. No more drive, he returns to his truck, climbs behind the sojourning seat and lays headlong in a berth of sleep. Tapestries and textures tap, tap, tapping his mind, weaving and leaving lines, electric wires turning blue under his skin, illuminating signs he cannot read. On his lidded screen she is sitting, waiting, wide-eyed but never looking ahead. Her head in her hand, she stares off to the side, her elbow stacked atop her knee on one exposed leg, her chin resting on one warm hand. As if an artist has drawn it too big, then outlined it in red, a line runs down the side of herfleshypalm, a flaw solved, disappearing into the dress. Always crimson, always waiting, he wakes to her image tipping his senses into the day he sleeps through waiting for the night of driving, always forward, always on. Another round of unnamed signs brings him back to mile 543 where an unimprinted '£>' is written on her blank nametag, watersoluble dots on plastic, sustaining a place for a name he wishes he knew. "'D' for Darlene?" he asks, suddenly old, Rumplestiltskin revisited. One finger moves to the T>', transferring off the ink, the protruding shape obliterating her finger blue, a miracle of flesh and thought "Just Dee." The words form in his mind as he stares again at the symbols on the menu. He looks up to see if her lips have moved, but he is unsure. "I'm hungry, but I don't know what. v. What would you suggest?" he asks, her pad poised for his order. She bends toward the menu, the smell of silent snow on age-soft stone. The whistle of a train passing behind Omer's diner inclines her back toward it. Then, "Bring what you like," he says, a wrap of trust and apathy hard-baked in a crust. Her head, turned toward the passing train, nods, and smothered sighs in lines and dots she does not write tap Morse code on his mind. "With nuts," he calls to her. The red slingback is left on tonight, ever so slyly listing to the right as she walks off to the kitchen, her knee halffrozenon its tweedled hinge, manic from the leg down. The food, when it comes, is nutritive communion. Mustard onfrilledlettuce sprinkled with almonds and small hunks of hamfroman omelette withheld, gingered apples by the side, what unhungry people crave. But for him, a venture restored, a difference soothed. Another four weeks out he turns off at mile 543. She glows through tapestried cracks in the window waiting for coffee to pour, to read minds on the menu. A crater on a collision course entering Omer's diner, he hopes to greet her in the familiar, at one of eight empty tables, no booths to hide in. But the quiet of the night that is morning speaks the orders that don't matter, except coffee. Just once if he could occupy her gaze, but still, she looks off to the side and brings whatever she likes, just what he wants. Eager, he reaches for the plate, but her movements circle around his and the plate is down. Key Lime Pie so pale it is white. Taylorreaches to touch herrighthand, the one that holds the pad she never writes on, the words he never says. He hears but does not see their formation, yet he knows the whispered meaning; please don't. It is spoken as a warning, as a Madonna protects from harm, but he can't heed it. He spills the coffee she sets down, stops her hand as she pulls back, quicker than he looks. "Mea culpa," he says, a dreamer reaching out to absence. Her hand, loose against the pad will be cold to his coffee spilled palm, but it is not. It is hot with an iciness that stings until the next fourth Thursday when she is not there. And Omer says she never was. �Tuesday, April 28, 2 009 THE PRIDE 73 C rH D m >O • d D scüC O oC •H CQ g T5 • C -H c O d 73 a ß -H O • ß COW O d 1 M oi tn 73 4 3 o ß o rH cM d rH rQ P co C d O >i c d (C dD C co U D m 73 > rH c 55 C d D u CW O o W •« • -d O 4 3 Cp D ß rß o O •H 43 u Ü H a Q. • 4> C D 1D > () C O O •H x: C O fr 4 3 P 4-4 C D • " VMß C¡ O5 0 u< ü rQ Cm CM D D Cn Üc d ß a) P O 73 O D g -P C Mß 1 u O •H co d Cü D O ( rH C ü rH S O c 0 >i M d UÄ Ü 0 P d) P— UU C D < D •g ßc BCg SD • MCP D U rß C D > C 43 Qo* -H s 4 3 o cd C D cd O O Q Cn ß rQ D Q gO PC o S rß -H Üo O O O •C Q C O >1 Q_ rH C C M QD rH S rH O < P O cd D 4-1 C rß C D Q 1C D g J s d) Q t> ü C cd S C •ß D CS C O rß ü D -O & PQ 4 3 C p u -H c^» rH P cd cd O rß H o -ß 4-3 -H C rß O C Cn 4-) D rQ H -H cd O S -H 73 • C O Ä 4-3 I C D > -H M 73 & 13 </) D Q O PÄ rQ O M CC dO 4-3 CD O Pi < d ft 73 ß cd < ü M PS w S Cn < C C ö CO 7 3 cd (1) -H 4-> S H cd 4-4 O •H 4-> 73 C C cd D g5 >i P rH o rH >1 cd u pu 4-3 C D > cd ßC D •C D d C P gc D > M o 4H M cd cn P co C O 4-) <C DO -H 0) N -H Pß Cß O •H D 73 < X O C 4-3 C D 4-> 4-3 cd • ß »H C O -H P 4-4 0) C D 1 - > -H +4 cd -H 73 p 0 Cn o1 rß O rß M • C C Q cd D >QM rß C oC o pO o CO • (D g -H -P J £ ü cd •H rQ 0« » ^0 P ß -H C rH D g < D M> (d -h rH Cr» O oc d CD CD CC DD MO -H O D ß w C 0l< . • U P 4-4 -H •P P I <[ W I P Q • • • • • d) rß 4J cd o -H M CD • • • • O P S r* OO ßCCP S cd rH O Cd >1 O d) • • • •I Cn I •| O D O DO o C T3 T5 C C C >i C •ß C O D ß 4-3 Ü rH O C ß > m j a (D H t P ,Q Ü 73 C -H d) cd O d cd co g ß -H (0 g P -p cd ß Q •H H > (d S O cd U M U C fp • -H M M C O fi iU d 03 -H S cd fr o >i CO (ü 4-> 4-3 «H D T3 ß < 04u 0) o rC C D * PC.

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer A week without a plan, movies all over the map, and the result is a week with t hree very enjoyable f ilms. Would you believe a Chinese Will Smith? Film number two is an u pdated movie by an old time comic. You w ill when you see t he f irst selection. Finally we take a look at an old cult classic comedy. So sit back and watch some movies f illed with ups and f ree of downs. "Ping Pong Playa" stars Jimmy Tsai as Christopher ' C-dub' Wang as a young adult who d reams of playing in the NBA yet he j ust d oesn't seem to have what it takes to make it h appen. While he claims g enetics have l eft him two inches short of his d ream, the r eality is that his l aziness is k illing any hopes he may have. His b est f riend D.B. is the only one willing to drown his u nrealistic NBA dreams and force C-Dub to accept his lot in l ife and begin doing something with it. The Wang f amily seems like a t raditional Chinese/ A merican f amily, and in t his f ilm, the f ather r uns the f amily " Ping Pong" supply store while the mother teaches p ing-pong at the local community center. C -Dub's " perfect" older b rother is a doctor and champion ping-pong player. W hile out g oofing o ff with D.B., C -Dub's antics lead to a car w reck. In the accident, his b rother and mother are mildly i njured. C-Dub, with much reticence, f inally takes his place in the family and f ills in for his mother's classes and f or his brother in the pingpong t ournament. In this f reshman f ilm, Tsai is both the w riter and lead actor. He plays it safe and keeps e verything down the middle of the road. For a f ilm with l imited r isks, there is a very nice reward in the f inal p roduct. If you close your eyes f or a moment while watching t his f ilm, you j ust might t hink you were watching the "Fresh P rince of Bel-Air." It would be hard to p redict that Tsai will be the next Will Smith, but it is not d ifficult to compare him at t his early stage of his career with Will Smith at the same stage in his. Nice story, nice p roduction, and a very f un f lick. I look f orward to his next f ilm, and a fter watching t his I t hink you will too. What to See *** "Hollywood Endings" is w ritten and directed by Woody A llen, who also s tars as Val, a great f ilm d irector whose career has vanished due to his d ifficult temperament. As a young moviemaker, A llen's humor was hip, c utting, and o riginal. His early f ilms such as " Sleeper," "Take the Money and R un," and " Bananas" quickly established him as an all time great writer, director, and actor. Then he lost his way. Allen began to spend too much time t rying to prove his i ntellectual prowess, much like Dennis Miller, and in the process sent audiences yawning and sleep walking to the exits. In t his f ilm, Allen has come f ull circle, and r eturns to his comedic roots with a very enjoyable f eature. He has mellowed over time, but here he proves that his ability to a rtistically create f ilm comedy is as sharp as ever. This is a great cast, with Tea Leoni as Val's ex-wife. She is tough as n ails, yet still has a s oft spot for Val. The best p erformance is by Debra Messing as Lori, Val's love i nterest. Lori is a slightly dimwitted starlet, and M essing's p erformance, although minor, is t ruly captivating. The one limiting aspect of this f ilm is the demographic. I think anyone under sixteen will f ind nothing appealing in this f ilm. The more years you have put behind you f rom age sixteen, the more this f ilm will touch your sensibilities. There are young adults who will strongly i dentify with Tony "Scumbag X," Val's son. This is a solid f ilm f rom s tart to f inish. What to See**** "The Kentucky Fried Movie" This f ilm was w ritten by rookie w riters Jim Abrams and brothers David and J erry Zucker, and was d irected by John Landis. So what? Well, Landis has d irected some alltime classics such as "Animal House," "Beverly H ills Cop I II," and Michael Jackson's " Thriller." The w riters went on to w rite such classic spoofs as "Airplane," "Hot Shots," and "Top Secret." What t his means is that t his f ilm is the premiere work of f our stooges, and I mean that in a good way. This is a series of sketch comedies as you might expect to have seen on "SNL" in the 70's. The humor is p uerile, lowbrow, and yet somehow s till, a fter all these years* it is very f unny. Whether it is Cleopatra Schwartz, watching a movie in " feel-a-round" (this was made when surround sound was still f resh and new), or "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" (which is there to a ttract the 13-17 male demographic), e verything here ranges f rom mildly silly to very f unny. There is no r ust on t his f ilm, j ust a nice p atina. D on't be reluctant to dust t his one o ff and watch it. While the episode, "A F istful of Yen," may make you t hink about m artial a rts in a completely new light, overall, t his f ilm will shine a little laughter on your l ife. What to See *** Lisa Hannigan BY AMY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor Backup singers are, by popular definition, vocalists that could not cut it as lead singers. Every musician or band needs backup support on tour, though I am sure some soloists would love if they could harmonize with themselves live. As such, one might imagine backup singers' careers are as fragile as a single-press album. Off the top of your head, try to come up with a musician who started out as humble support and became successful. Unlikely, right? The Eagles are easily the epitome of classic Americana. Glenn Frey started his career with Bob Seger in 1968. The multi-platinum artist Sheryl Crow toured with the unbelievably famous Michael Jackson. Luther Vandross, soul royalty, contributed vocals with several artists in the 60's and toured supporting David Bowie in the 70's. And Lisa Hannigan gave six creative years to Damien Rice. Now, she has released her first full-length album. Irish native Lisa Hannigan was born in 1981 in County Photo courtesy of americansongwriter.com Meath. She began performing professionally with Damien Rice in 2001, mostly singing with him on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass in live performances. Hannigan also appears on recordings with The Frames, Snow Patrol lead singer Gary Lightbody, and the late Mic Christopher. In 2007, Hannigan and Rice had a "falling out" of sorts, and she immediately left tour to begin solo work. In early 2009, Hannigan released "Sea Sew" in the states. Hannigan's appeal lies in her breathy, ethereal voice. However, in the album track, "Pistachio," she presents her poetic ability as well. The song begins with a simple piano riff quickly evolving into a crafted melody. A jazz bass and gentle drum join the mix, producing a pleasantly folky blend. Hannigan sings, "I do, like sugar, tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun," filling the song with her increasingly powerful voice. The decidedly soothing ballad ends with a swirling cello, closing lightly with harmonious hums. Hannigan and her band are currently gearing up for a UK tour.

A beautiful amber hue radiates from the chilled glass. The ale enters with a quick shock. Shortly thereafter, a more sugary mellow yummy tone takes over.

The highly anticipated "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is the f irst summer blockbuster of 2009. This f ilm, staring Hugh Jackman should blow away the other f ilms this week. The summer movie season is s tarting early in May with several anticipated f ilms, such as "Star Trek" and "Up" Arts & Entertainment Early in April, a copy of "Wolverine" was mishandled and copies of the movie wound up on the black market. Online remarks of those who have gotten a hold of it are mixed. I expect there will be stunning actions scenes, as seen in the trailers. If this movie can create a balance with the plot, character development, and action, as the f irst two "X-Men" f ilms did, t his will be an awesome f ilm. With the wild expectation of "Wolverine," it could be easy to forget about the other f ilms out this week. The other entries this week are a romantic comedy and an animated sci-fi f ilm. Matthew McConriughey and Jennifer Garner star in "Ghosts of G irlfriends Past." McConaughey plays a womanizer who must revisit past relationships in a Dickens "Christmas Carol" style. This is because he let Garner's character slip away and he must get he back. It seems predictable, but it might be something for those who do not want to see "Wolverine." Lastly, there is "Battle for Terra." I have mixed thoughts Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox about t his animated f ilm. It is arriving in theaters soon. This week belongs to "Wolverine." Hugh Jackman r eturns as Wolverine in this prequel to the "X-Men" series. The loaded cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, and Danny Huston back him up. The f ilm explores Wolverine's past and shows how the man with regenerative powers developed his signature claws. It is also loaded with other heroes and villains including Cyclops, The Blob, Sabretooth, and comic fan favorites Gambit and Deadpool. THE PRIDE Image courtesy ofLionsgate Studios set in f uture a fter the destruction of E arth, and tackles heavy humanity issues. The surviving humans set out to conquer a p eaceful alien planet in order survive. This f ilm is loaded with political sentiment and great actors yet the dialogue and CGI-look of the f ilm in the trailer makes me think I will wait until this comes out on DVD. A d ifferent studio, such as Disney, might have handled this story better. Regardless, neither of these f ilms will make a dent in "Wolverine's" box o ffice earnings. The gross f rom "Wolverine" should gauge how much people are willing to pay for movies this summer.

Protests occurred in various circuits throughout the state. In Sacramento, more than 2,000 students participated in the march. Protesters in Los Angeles marched to the governor's office at the Reagan State Building. Students in San Diego, Riverside and Santa Barbara held similar protests. Lieutenant Governor and advocate of freezing tuition hikes, John Garamendi, joined protesters in Sacramento. "There is no more important investment than the investment in students," said Garamendi in an immediate press release from the California State Student Association. "We must stop taxing our young people, and we must once again invest in the intellectual infrastructure of our state." Also in attendance at the Sacramento protest were Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate President Pro Tem elect Darrell Steinberg, " Assembly members Julia Brownley and Anthoiiy Portantino—all of whom expressed opposition to the proposed cuts as National Day of Silence: Remembering Lawrence King BY ALEXANDER HAND Pride Staff Writer Friday, April 25, 2008 - Hundreds of thousands of students across the nation observed the National Day of Silence.

"Students across the state are already facing an affordability crisis," stated Dina Cervantes, Board Chair for the California State Student Association. "These fee hikes force students to drop out of school or take on a 20 hour plus work week in addition to their classes," she stated. "Even if we work and go to school, many of us still end up thousands of dollars in debt after we graduate." These efforts aim to convince the governor to revise the budget proposal he is to submit in May.

Naropa was putting up tremendous numbers and we had to really chip away at their lead," said Carl Hanson with Faculty Services. "It took an incredible 75.69% to achieve victory this year. Next year, we'll probably have to go even higher," said Hanson. "It makes mefeelreally proud to be a part of CSUSM and to know that we are number one in recycling," said Junior Business Major BeccaChaney. The annual contest consists of a ten-week long competition. During the competition, college campuses compete nationwide in various categories involving the reduction of waste. With more colleges entering each year, the contest adds categories accordingly. The contest began in 2001 with two competing colleges. The contest seems to double each year. In 2007, more than 200 colleges entered. In 2008, the competition doubled yet again to more than 400 including nearby colleges San Diego State University and University of California San Diego, This year the contest split the event into Whole Campus Division and Partial Campus Division. CSUSM won Grand Champion and others awards in 2007 and 2006. In 2005, the contest contained only two categories. CSUSM almost won Per Capita in 2005 but placed first in Recycling Rate. "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to CSUSM's victory by participating in RecycleMania 2008. We believe that our strength is consistency. We have created an environment at this institution where recycling is just part of our campus climate. It is in our collective culture. We simply need to maintain our habits today and pass on the legacy of environmental awareness to each new generation of students tomorrow," said Hanson. The contest also relies on the efforts of the Green Team and the Blue Crew. The two groups are major components in the competition.

The modern trend is to parody a genre or type of movie and title it as such, but the humor is not clever, thus making the f ilm unwatchable. The producers of these movies are more concerned with profits than making a decent film. Such is the case with "The Simpsons Movie." By slapping "The Simpsons" title on this flick, they conned countless people into seeing this awful film. If one were a true fan of "The Simpsons," they would not like this movie because it is so far of the elements that make the show great.

Reed. Haynes has worked closely with her Executive Council and University Budget committee in recent weeks in preparation of addressing the cuts to the campus community. "Nobody's really saying that there's going to be much of a positive solution for '08-09 and therefore, it's going to take post the national election for some bipartisan movement in this state for revenue enhancement solutions for '09-10," said Haynes, when asked how long it would take before colleges could see progress. "How fast that's going to happen, post the election? People are not quite as confident, so we are very informally saying that it could well be two years before we can right this California state economy." In addition to the budget update, the University Budget committee distributed petitions to each person in attendance and collected them, promising to fax each one to the governor later that day. Concurrently, CSUSM set up outdoor phones and fax banks in Kellogg Plaza for students, s taff, and faculty to tell the governor not to cut the CSU.

College students typically have a smaller vacation budget, but thisv should not limit f un and memorable vacation options. Careful and thoughtful prioritizing can maximize à budget to make the most of summer vacation. If a vacation includes a foreign country, a passport will be required as verifiable identification, so have a valid passport available well in advance of the travel date. There are many low budget vacation activities available—with some creative thinking it is easy to make a summer trip into a memorable event. 1) Road Trip One choice is the idealistic "road trip." It may sound unoriginal—and there are certainly cons to this because of rising gas prices—but a road trip is a great way to stretch out a budget. Try offsetting the cost by gathering a group of friends to share the price of gas and alternate driving. There are many places to visit (such as national parks, theme parks, friends/ family) so plan ahead with the group and make sure to have correct directions and factor in expenses beforehand so it can be a worry-free adventure. For accommodations along the trip, be sure to research inexpensive hotels and book reservations ahead of time or have an alternative plan to stay with family or friends along the way, With enough people, splitting a hotel room cost will not end u p too expensive. To find inexpensive accommodations, Travelocity and Expédia are good sources that are easy to navigate and continually advertise special deals. On Travelocity. com there are hotel rates for as low as $32 per night in the Reno-Tahoe area. If a travel destination is too far away or would be too time consuming for a road trip, many travel packages are available that bundle hotel costs and airline, tickets. To travel to a "hot spot" such as Las Vegas, Travelocity offers a $226 hotel + flight package for each person. Travelocity and Expedia offer several other moderately priced packages to other destinations, such as Miami, Florida ($454 per person including airfare and hotel). 2) Service Projects Another option is to forgo the traditional summer vacation and partake in an alternative summer breaks—volunteering efforts to help charities and relief organizations. This is becoming more popular around college campuses and even high schools. There are many activities to choose: building houses (Habitat for Humanity), clearing debris from stormaffected areas, tutoring and teaching younger children, working with hospital patients, and teaching English to immigrants. For example, CSUSM's Alternative Spring Break in March 2007 helped the aftereffects of Katrina in New Orleans. To volunteer in the summer for Habitat for Humanity, the costs can range f rom $50 to $150 and the locations are scattered across the fifty states. Check their summer listings to find a specific date, region, and cost: http://www.habitat.org/ y outhprograms/suppdocs/colchalsummerbreak_sitelist.pdf 3) Camping Another low-budget vacation is camp' ing. Camping is a great way to spend time with friends, especially for those who enjoy the outdoors. Remember that renting a cabin can be less expensive with more people. There are many locations and activities to choose from depending on one's interests. While San Marcos is in a great location to access many beaches, there are other regional spots to enjoy other water activities. Making a reservation at a state park can be done ahead of time online (a nonrefundable $7.50). Depending on the group's size and how far in advance a reservation is made, South Carlsbad costs can range from $45.00 to $225.00. South Carlsbad does not feature day-use facilities. One of the five-most visited •Cali- fornia state parks, San Onofre, in north Oceanside, has alcohol restrictions, so be sure to stay on top of rules that pertain to each park. Another state park, Cardiff, actually does not have any camping facilities, but pets are allowed. Close by to Cardiff is San Elijo State Beach, which does feature tents and RV sites. To get an idea of what to expect from other camping locations, the California State Park's website breaks down camping fees: http:// www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23293 4) Cruise Though it may not be as inexpensive as some of the previous options, a cruise is still an affordable option. Cruises can be a great deal because while most cruises t ry to add as many people possible with low fares, optional expenses such as alcohol and excursions can be highpriced and add up Textbook buy backs BY B ILLRHEIN Pride Staff Writer The semester is coming to a close, and it is time f or students to contemplate what to do with the books they spent so much money on a few months ago. Some books are valuable in cash or intrinsic value and may be worth keeping. However, if students want to sell books and get money back, there are a few options. The first option is to use the CSUSM bookstore Buy Back. According to the store, they will be accepting books starting May 7 in stationed tents in Founder's plaza. The University Store and Buy Back Tents will be open until 7 p.m. on every weekday except Friday, when they will close at 3 p.m. The process is simple: students can b ring back their used textbooks where representatives of the bookstore will examine them. They will also scan the barcode to determine if the book is usable next year, or if the edition is out of date. If a student agrees on a transaction, they will get a predetermined amount of money back for each book, and the store can resell the book next semester. This s ervice will r un through finals week. Other options lie online. Websites such as www.booksvalue.com and www. ecampus.com o ffer a similar service as the bookstore. Students can browse the site and see how much they can get back for a copy of their book. If a student agrees on the price, he or she contacts the site, mails the book to them, and gets money back. These sites then sell the books to others on their site as well as other websites, such as www. half.com. The previously mentioned www.half. com is another place to get c^sh for books, but it requires patience. This site is a branch of www.ebay.com, but does not require the auctioning process. Students and other Internet users can list DVDs, CDs, and books they wish to sell. Unlike the other options, the seller can name his or her own price. However, that also means waiting for someone to purchase it. A fter a person makes a sale, www.half.com will deposit the money into an account, t aking a small fee for their service. Therefore, if students do not want to hang on to b ulky or unpractical books, quickly. But once again, with more people, cabins can fit up to four people, so the cost of a small cabin can be split up. Travelocity and Expedia offer many special cruise packages as well as cruise companies. Expedia.com advertises Carnival cruise packages to Mexico for rates as low as $189. At Travelocity, for a four-night, roundtrip cruise starting in Los Angeles and traveling to Baja California, Mexico, and other California destinations, it can cost $209 for an inside cabin and $609 for a suite. Remember to have a passport ready in advance if a travel destination involves a foreign country. Travel agencies can be more helpful for a more customized approach to planning a cruise. There are many interesting and f un activities to take part in during summer vacation — even under a budget! With the ideas suggested above, there is still a lot of room to make a vacation creative and personable for a memorable summer! What to do with unwanted textbooks there are many options to sell them. There are resources on campus and online to make some money back, either for books next year or for the festivities summer has to offer.

The Cougars jumped out to an early onerun lead in the bottom of the second inning on a Tristan Gale solo home run. Biola got the run back in the top of the third, and went on to tack on two in the top of the fifth and one in the top of the seventh. The Cougars closed the gap to one after scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh on Jackson Chapelone and Dane Ponciano solo home runs. Biola added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and closed the door on the Cougars in the bottom half to take the win. Despite receiving their first loss in nine games on Tuesday, the Cougars continued their winning ways of late as they faced Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, taking a close one by a score of 5-4. The Cougars got on the board first, scoring on a Terry Moritz RBI single in the top of the third. San Bernardino countered with a run in the bottom of the third, and again in the fourth. The Cougars did their damage in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four runs on two hits and two San Bernardino errors. San Bernardino tried their hand at a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to one. However, a solid defensive effort by the Cougars kept the lead safe en route to the win. The Cougars again saw Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, this time at home for a doubleheader that resulted in a split. The Cougars combated a three-run top of the first with a run in the bottom of thefirst,and four more in the bottom of the fourth. The game remained quiet from there on out thanks to strong pitching and defense for the Cougars. The Cougars could not, however carry over the momentum into the second game of the doubleheader. Despite coming out to an early 4-2 lead, the Cougars could not hold on, losing by a score of 13-7.

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" The New York Times' bestseller "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is by Duke and the University of Chicago alum, Tucker Max. The novel is a hilarious romp through the wild stories of Tucker Max's life, which makes "National Lampoon's: Van Wilder" seem tame by comparison. The stories include such antics as "Tucker goes to Vegas," and "The Now Infamous Tucker Max Charity Auction Debacle."

They care mostly what your experiences are in your field. to restrain from collapsing while laughing—each story was better than the one before. Tucker makes friends and enemies wherever he goes. This book does, however, demonstrate the truth of the effects of alcohol and how sometimes people tend to take advantage of others. But if you're looking for interesting stories, each one like some legendary college party complete with alcohol induced blackouts, you're in for a treat. This book is like taking the most bizarre stories from every scoundrel and rogue you know, and multiplying them exponentially. Each one is more than just risqué encounters and pan- demonium. Rather, they are the true encounters of Tucker Max. During each of his crazy nights, Tucker takes a voice recorder with him to help him document the nights that most individuals would be too drunk to remember. Some think that Tucker's actions are too ruthless—I found it them an escape from the reality of school. "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" is a book that can help alleviate the stress of finals temporarily. So sit down with a box of tissues and indulge in what will be a memorable, tearfilled, abdominally exhausting experience. Photo courtesy Sarah Hernandez / The Pride Street Kings An action-filled hi BY LANCE CARTELLI Pride Staff Writer "Street Kings" is Director David Ayers's second followup to "Training Day." "Street Kings" is a throwback cop thriller that is highlighted by a great story and solid acting from Keanu Reeves and company. Yes, Keanu Reeves. Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a veteran LAPD detective, works in the Special Vice Squad Unit in Los Angeles. Ludlow has been suffering from depression since his wife died. On top of that, his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) was murdered by two gang members. Ludlow goes on a wild and reckless pursuit through the mean streets of Los Angeles to track down the killers and get justice for Washington. Captain Jack Wander (Forest Whitaker) is Ludlow's supervisor who must keep him from going over the edge and out of the cross hairs of Internal Affairs Captain James Biggs (Hugh Laurie). "Street Kings" starts off fast and never slows down. Within the first ten minutes, viewers are able to see that Detective Ludlow is a highly skilled cop. The movie moves so quickly that no ones knows who is the good or bad cop, and by the end viewers are surprised with the thrilling twist of who is really good and bad. The only aspect that outweighs the acting of Reeves, Whitaker, and Laurie, is the writing. This movie may not have the most action, but the fast-paced story keeps viewers on the edge of their seats up until the action packed ending that will leave the audience saying "wow." Despite what the critics say, this movie is a great cop thriller and is Reeves's best work since "The Matrix." �T HE P RIDE A & E Tuesday, April 29; 2008 il Siam Surprise BY JACKIE CARBAJAL.

Land Shark Lager BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Margaritaville Brewing Company brews Land Shark Lager in Jacksonville, Florida. Jimmy Buffett owns Buffet's Margaritaville Holding LLC, the parent company of the brewery. Originally, the brewery produced the lager solely for Margaritaville Restaurants. The lager's popularity grew and the brewery decided to sell the product nationwide in retail outlets. There are currently eight restaurants in the United States. The closest restaurants to CSUSM are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Glendale, Arizona. The remaining restaurants are located near Florida with the exception of one restaurant in Cancun, Mexico. The cardboard pack- ^ ^ a ging holds 12-fluid ounce clear glass bottles. The six-pack retails for $7.29 at BevMo. A soft yellow and navy blue comprise the majority of the coloring used on the container. A simple beach scene with a large shark fin planted firmly on land captures center stage. The bottles contain the same imaging and labeling. Bronze, yellow, and navy blue fill in the artwork on the lager 's bottle cap consisting of the lager's logo. The lager has an alcohol by volume of 4.7%, slightly lower than average beers. Land Shark pours easily, generating a quarter inch thick head that remains for the majority of consumption. The lager radiates a light golden hue similar to champagne. It emits a faint biscuit infused aroma, and enters the mouth calmly like small, gentle waves at high noon beachside. A slight peak of tastes occurs immediately then disappears as the lager strolls beyond. Given the soothing nature of the brew, it should pair well with BBQ orientedL events and food. Of course* Jimmy Buffett's 1985 hit song "Margaritaville" is a nice addition during consumption. Furthermore, the lager deserves a more creative styled glass than regular lagers. The craziness associated with the ending of a spring semester indicates one thing: the close proximity of summer where flipflops and bottle tops relax and calm the Cougar. Surprise 2, for example, valued at $7.95 includes f ried rice or steamed rice, Chicken Panang Curry (spicy), garden salad with Thai cream dressing, f ried t ofu and a soda. To cap off your night, a definite must is the banana rolls dessert. Just picture this for a second: bananas deep f ried in egg roll skins, served with chocolate syrup and whipped cream for the low price of $3.25. Sounds heavenly, right? The price is worth the risk and makes it that much easier to order seconds if need be. The only downside to the Siam experience is that you may find yourself tipping 50% of the bill because you are that satisfied—it has been done. The service is friendly and accommodating and the food speaks for itself—figuratively I hope, but I must admit, I have not yet tried the duck. Siam Surprise is located at Overland Center, 26490 Ynez Road, Suite B in Temecula. For more menu options, map directions, and contact information, visit www.siamsurprise.com.

Man Crush? BY TOM COCKING Pride Staff Writer Every night before I go to bed, I sit on the couch in the living room and go back and f orth between MTV, VH1, and Fuse, watching music videos. It is late night so there are usually some odd videos on that either make me feel uncomfortable or like I am back in the 1960's. But on this special night while channel s urfing, one of the most b eautiful sounds I had ever heard came f rom V Hi's Nocturnal State, a late night music program that plays up-and-coming artists. I listened and watched the music video intently because the person singing had one of the most melodic and calming voices I had ever heard. I waited until the end to see who it was and the ending credits read "Justin Nozuka - A fter Tonight." I had heard Justin Nozuka before but couldn't purchase his CD off iTunes because he did not sell it in the U.S. So I went to my room and got my laptop, searched for him on iTunes and by the grace of God, his CD had j ust been released in the U.S. Instantly I purchased h is CD titled "Holly" and listened to every song. I have not stopped listening to his CD since. He has a Jason Mraz-like tone but hits notes I did not know men could hit. Justin is only 19 years old, but sings of things beyond the average teenager's wisdom. With songs like my favorite "Save Him," Nozuka sings of a woman who was abused by both her father and b oyfriend. His chilling vocals make you listen to every word he says. His more upbeat songs like "After Tonight" have catchy choruses that instantly make you happy. It is safe to say I have developed a "man crush" on Justin Nozuka. Sadly, he has only played a few shows in the United States, such as the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Nozuka was born in New York then moved to Toronto and has lived there since. But due to his growing popularity, he is beginning to p erform more in the States, primarily on the east coast. With fame coming to him at such a tender age, I can only imagine what great things he will be doing in the f uture. Is [ M m - still alive and wew documentaryt.

Present at the forum were CSUSM students, faculty and staff and various community members. Each attendee was given an orange and maroon ribbon to wear in honor of Virginia Tech victims. Beginning at noon, those present for the start of the forum honored the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy that occurred on Monday, April 16, with a few moments of silence. President Karen S. Haynes opened the forum by saying, "We're obviously all here today as a university community coming together to share our grief, our concerns of personal safety, and ask questions as we go forward. . ." President Haynes continued by saying, "I'm sure many of yoù in our campus community have personal connections to Virginia Tech, and so it brings another dimension for you ; to this conversation. I was asked just now by the press, whether this was our first or our last step in this conversation; I'm sure that there will be many steps, public, formal, personal and private as we continue to think through the implications. One other public step that we will take as a university is to contribute to the Hokies Memorial Fund that will help for counseling and other services to the victims and their families."

Today is not any different than the rest to Marjorie Mina. As she makes her rounds through the store, she asks her clients how they are doing and if they may need any assistance. Her clients though, are not customers of Wal-Mart; they are Wal-Mart employees who have developmental disabilities. As a job coach for Community Interface Services of Carlsbad, Mina works with eight higher functioning adults. In Mina's case, four out of eight of her clients work at WalMart and have overlapping hours so Mina makes her rounds and works one on one with her clients during their shifts. As a job coach, Mina works under Community Interface's Supportive Employment program. Mina began working with CIS after she graduated from CSUSM in 2004 as a Human Development major. In the three years that she has been working for CIS, Mina has learned that her clients are excited to have a job. "We help them be a part of the community," Mina said. "If they take a bus to work, we teach them what to do if they get lost, or what happens when there's a disaster at work." When Mina started working with her client Chris Deddo, she learned that whenever Deddo was faced with a question from a customer to which he did not know the answer, he would walk away. Mina would then interfere and show Deddo that he could ask another associate for help. What Mina says she enjoys the most is, "I can watch them grow." Job Coaches at CIS work with clients who work at Pet Smart, Noah's Ark Learning Center, Wild Animal Park and Target among other employers. Two other major departments of CIS include Supportive Living and Independent Living. In 1991 when Kim Larsen graduated from CSUSM as a Business Major, she was quickly promoted to associate director. Bruce Willbrant, another alumnus of CSUSM, was not sure where he would live after graduation when he found a classifieds ad for Community Interface's Supportive Living department. In the Supportive Living department, employees live with a roommate who has a developmental disability. Willbrant thought, "I'd get paid and I'd have a place to live." Today Willbrant assists his clients as an Independent Living Supervisor. Willbrant .

We also have a system where we can communicate through our classrooms under times of duress that will also be helpful in letting people know exactly what the situation is at the time." Dean Manship also explained to the audience that there is a system being finalized this very moment that would allow the university to send text messages to students in case of an oncampus emergency or life-threatening situation. Another main point emphasized in the forum was that of mental health care, and Carlene Smith addressed that, ensuring students that there are services available at SHCS for students to take advantage of. In hopes to reach the rest of the student body, Hackenberg said, "We have a very safe campus here; that's both by perception and statistics bear that out, and we always need to keep that in mind. We want students to be very aware of any rumors, possibilities, possessions of a weapon on campus, or anyone who might be planning these types of things. We just want to encourage them to report those things to the police department." For more information visit http:// www.csusm.edu/police/Bulletins.htm ; pili ^ B ^ P S P - ^ ^ ^ B •: I 1 included: Roy Lee (President of ASI), Dean Manship (Emergency Management Coordinator), Regina Frasca (Director of Risk Management and Safety), Carlene Smith (a psychologist from SHCS), CSUSM Police Chief Ronald Hackenberg, Dr. Pat Worden (Vice President for Student Affairs), CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes, and Gregory Toya (Associate Dean of Students) and a few other representatives from campus organizations. The central focus was to first remember and honor the Virginia Tech tragedy and to second address the campus community about our own safety precautions in place and how they are being practiced and improved. In addition to offering a safe environment for an open discussion to inquiring students and staff, the forum also hosted a guest speaker, an alumnus from Virginia Tech affiliated with the San Diego chapter of Virginia Tech Alumni. She shared a poignant testimony about her experience at Virginia Tech and how the tragedy had impacted her and her family's life, as her younger brother currently attends Virginia Tech. After the guest speaker, Gregory Toya opened up the floor for the audience to ask questions. The first question asked addressed what plans CSUSM has in place "ft: ' ^ plans his clients' budget and assists them in finding and purchasing affordable housing. When speaking of helping clients attain jobs, Larsen said, "Our goal is to help them become more independent. So we may start out 100% there, at the orientation, interview, and then when they get the hang of it, we'll start fading out." Willbrant found his education at CSUSM to be extremely helpful. "The thing about San Marcos is that they have this unique major, Human Development, which is ideal, along with sociology and psychology." Denise Sumlin a graduated as Liberal Studies and Sociology double major with a focus in Child Development. As an Independent Living Counselor, Sumlin says she helps maintain independence. An Independent Living Counselor may assist clients in daily living such accessing community resources or gaining social skills. Sumlin added, "At school, it's all about the books. It's test after test. Here, it's nothing but hands on. It all comes back to you. I thought, I will never use this again in my life! But I am putting a lot of it to good use. You do get a chance to use some of that." Christine Sheppard, Supported Employment Supervisor, finds that the employees at CIS enjoy coming to work each day. Sheppard said, "They are highly dedicated to the service recipients and they have the ability to cooperate and work well with others." Shannon Foster works as a Resource Counselor. In 2000, she graduated from CSUSM as a double major in Psychology and Sociology. She spends her days in the community with her clients. On Mondays, she works out with her clients at the YMCA, and on certain Fridays, she takes her clients to the mall for some shopping. Foster assists her clients in their work and social skills. "We learn what their dreams are then we help to accomplish their goals," Foster said. Sally Serrin, a current student of CSUSM decided to work at CIS in order to fulfill an internship requirement for her Sociology course. Serrin says that she's been able to help where it's needed. Since Serrin began working at Community Interface, she has gained experience with doing research for the company, working with clients and completing market audit reports among other things. "Everybody here is so positive," Serrin said, "with a good attitude about a lot of things." From RECYCLEMANIA, page 1 and San Diego State University were amongst the 201 universities in the competition. CSUSM first entered the competition in 2005 and placed first in Recycling Rate with a rate of 44 percent. The Recycling Rate category compares the weight of recyclables to the weigh of trash. In 2006, CSUSM won the Grand Champion award, placed second in the Per Capita Classic, and finished first in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. Campuses that fall into the Grand Champion category demonstrate an excellence in recycling and reducing waste throughout the entire competition. The Per Capita Classic compares the amount of recyclables to the number of students in a given campus. The Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category compares the amount of recycled corrugated cardboard to the number of students in a given campus. For the 2007 contest, CSUSM brought home another first place victory in the Grand Champion category. CSUSM also placed second in the Targeted Material - Corrugated Cardboard category. A recycling culture throbs throughout CSUSM's campus. Cougars consistently recycle spent products in easily accessible bins. "I recycle every single thing and I make sure it goes in the right recycle bin," said Liberal Studies Major Senior DeLacy Brown. "I can be standing anywhere and turn around and find a recycling bin." "It feels good that my school has won the RecycleMania competition three times in a row. It's really cool that our school which is in southern California cares that much about the environment," said Arts and Technology Major Freshmen Jake Gossett. "Recycling is about giving back to the community. Given the fact that Cal State San Marcos has won three years in a row giving back to the community has been a major priority to us," said Psychology Major Senior Logan Goolsby. "It makes me glad to go to a school where students take the extra time to use the blue bins for recycling. It would feel weird not to recycle because the bins are everywhere," said Liberal Studies Major junior Jenny Bigpond. The contestants for next year's competition will most likely grow in number. Previous contenders will sharpen their recycling skills. However, given the current trends, Cougars have a bright f uture and foreseeable victory in the RecycleMania 2008 competition.

The competition was stiff, but Justin and Sandy devoured their way through huge pieces of watermelon and won the preliminary rounds. Rossiter and Betancourt battled against each other for the championship. Grunting and growling, Rossiter ripped red chunks of watermelon from its green rind while Betancourt trailed close behind. The crowd cheered in favor of Betancourt, but Rossiter gulped his way to the championship. Students at the event also took part in signing a large red poster, among others, that students will send to Virginia Tech. The poster reads, "Our deepest sympathies to Virginia Tech from the students of Cal State San Marcos. Other posters read, "CSUSM honors Virginia Tech." Sara Gallegos stated, "The final event that they will be at is the Wellness Fair on Tuesday the 24th in the Field House. A fter that we are going to mail the posters to Virginia Tech." Satterfield said, "My overall reaction was that it was a success. We got exactly 100 signatures for our budget letters, which is great! The contest and event was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the result." �FEATURES Down to Earth: A green day on a green campus Tuesday; April 24, 2007 THE PRIDE BY KIM ANDERSON Pride Staff Writer Sunday, April 22, was Earth Day. On this special day designed to promote environmental awareness, millions across the nation joined in celebration of Mother Earth. While some people renewed their commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse, others raised money to f und other environmental causes. Historically, it was the concern of Senator Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin that sparked our country's environmental awareness. He founded the first Earth Day in 1970 after trying to bring environmental awareness to the American population since 1962. On envirolink.org, Nelson said, "Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself." America celebrates Earth Day on April 22. This day is also the birthday of Eddie Albert, a former American television star and environmental activist; it also happens to be the birthday of Julius Stirling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. According to the U.S. government's web site on Earth Day (earthday.gov), the United States is much better off than it was in 1970. The air is cleaner, the loss of wetlands is being reversed, and other important environmental legislation continues to improve conditions. Though things may be looking up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently reported with 100 percent confidence that global warming is happening, and with 90 percent confidence that it is because of human interference. The IPCC is a panel of scientists from different countries and works closely with the United Nations. Since the report, the United States Congress has been discussing new environmental legislation that would significantly cut down on the production of greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, there are many things that people can do to help save our planet. The government's Earth Day site suggests saving energy by making homes more efficient, turning off appliances and lights when not in use, purchasing "green power" for the electricity of houses, insulating homes, driving less, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs. The site also suggests several ways to use less water. It urges people to use WaterSense labeled products and programs. These products, " will p erform well, help save money, and encourage innovation in manufacturing." (See http://www. e pa.gov/watersense/index.htm for more information on WaterSense.) The site also says to not to let water r un while shaving or brushing teeth, to take short showers instead of baths, to scrape rather than rinse dishes before loading into dishwasher, and to only wash f ull loads of dishes and laundry. It also recommends buying high efficient plumbing fixtures, repairing leaks (one leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water every day), and watering lawns and plants during the coolest p art of the day. Another way to celebrate Earth is by using the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle. To reduce, people should consider buying permanent items instead of disposables, buying products with less packaging, and only «J buying what they need. Reusing is as simple as repairing items as much as possible, using cloth napkins, and reusing boxes, purchasing and reusing refillable pens and pencils, and donating extra things to other people or charities. Recycling is the third component. Many things can be recycled—paper, plastic, bottles, cardboard, aluminum; but, other things can and should be recycled such as electronics, motor oil, printer cartridges, and even compost food scraps, grass and other yard clippings. Cal State San Marcos is particularly earth conscious—our university recently won RecycleMania for the third year in a row by recycling over 59% of all that we throw away. This season, be more environmentally conscious and make environmental resolutions that will save money and our earth. As Captain Planet always says, "The power is yours!" Honoring CSUSM's semi-annual Yellow Ribbon Week BY AMANDA ANDREEN Pride Staff Writer Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death annually in the United States and is the 2nd leading cause of death among college-aged students (according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). The American- Association of Suicidology states that about every 16 minutes, a person in the U.S. takes their own life, and every 39 seconds a person in the U.S. attempts to take their own life. In 2004, the most recent complete data statistics, there were roughly 811,000 suicide attempts, and a total 32,439 suicides. With approximately 80 Americans taking their life each day and nearly 1,500 more Americans attempting to do so, there has got to be an underlying cause for such high statistics, as well as something everyone can do to help. Fortunately for CSUSM students, and the greater San Diego community, there is something that can be done and a way to help. As it has been on campus since the spring of 2003, CSUSM has its very own Yellow Ribbon Club, which is connected with a larger organization: Light for Life. Chris Sanchez, President of the Yellow Ribbon Club on campus, encourages students to not only become more aware about suicide and its warning signs, but also to participate in the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week happening on campus April 30-May 2. With multiple events happen- ing on campus for the upcoming Yellow Ribbon Week, Sanchez hopes to educate his peers about the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, the Light for Life Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Cards that are available at the events and online at www.yellowribbon.org. To kick-off the approaching Yellow Ribbon Week at CSUSM, the Yellow Ribbon Club is hosting its first shoe drive. The shoe drive aims to collect donated shoes from students for a display to appear in front ofLibrary Plaza during Yellow Ribbon Week. A fter the completion of Yellow Ribbon Week, the donated shoes will then be donated to a local charity. The shoe drive will continue through Friday, April 27, and the collections areas are at the ASI Women's Center in FCB 102 and in front of Student Life and Leadership in Craven 3400. "We're going to be having what's now become our semiannual yellow ribbon week where we go out there and we want to encourage students to come see this video we show called 'The Truth about Suicide.' 'The Truth about Suicide' is a video put on by the America Foundation for Suicide, the AFSP. And what they have done is created this video that outlines a lot of the symptoms of depression, suicide and they bring the perspective from real life people who have either attempted to take their life, or who have had friends who have. It is very emotional and I think it's very a ffective," said Sanchez. The majority of the events happening during Yellow Ribbon Week will take place on Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1, during University Hour in the Library Plaza. There will also be two screenings of "The Truth about Suicide" Wednesday, May 2, one during University Hour in Markstein Hall 107 and the second at 5 p.m. in The Clarke Field House.

BY ALISON AFFLECK Pride Staff Writer Paris did not earn the prestigious title of "most visited place in the world" f or nothing; it really is nothing short of spectacular. I picked the less touristy o ff season to visit, and although I did not get to personally witness the typical ' Eiffel tower postcard' view, replete with flowers and lavish greenery, I did get to see the city covered in a f resh layer of snow—a real bonus in my view. It is hard to know where to begin in a city such as Paris, but I suppose a good starting point is a good hotel or hostel location. I decided to stay on the l eft bank of the Seine in a simple and oddly decorated hotel that boasted a less than five minute walk to the E iffel Tower. Indeed the tiny hotel was - very inventively' called 'La Tour E iffel.' An added bonu%to th% hotel was its proximity,, to the métro, which in my opinion is something that a visitor to Paris should pick as a priority when selecting a hotel; you < will «pend a great* deal-of time cruising the odoriferous, bustling lines and it really is a great way to get a feel for the local life. Needless to say, it is advisable to take advantage of the ' Paris Visite' travel cards that o ffer unlimited use of the métro and buses within a specified t ime period. D uring my stay in Paris, I did not adhere to a rigid schedule; instead I picked an area of interest and wandered around seeing what grabbed my fancy. Although I wanted to see all the usual suspects, I planned to spend a great deal of time in the local eateries and coffee shops. Navigating around the l eft bank in the gently falling snow, I visited ' L 'Hôtel des Invalides'—a huge construction orchestrated by Louis X IV t o house wounded soldiers. Les Invalides i s v ery easy to spot due to its unmistakable gold dome. However, the luxury does not end there—wait till you see Napoléon's massive red sarcophagus housed inside the Eglise du Dôme and the amazing array of weaponry housed in the Musée de L'armée. A gentle stroll along the bank of the lazily flowing river Seine later, and I found myself exploring Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle in the Isle de la Cité; the old historical heart of Paris. Notre Dame is incredible with its huge domed roof enveloping the wonderful scent that all ancient buildings have: that of sweet earth and centuries of candle burning. The Cathedral façade itself is amazing, as are the famous cheeky gargoyles that line the panorama o fParis. Of course the view requires a long walk up the many flights of stairs, but it is well worth it. As I crossed over the Seine via the famous Pont Neuf ('New Bridge'), I was tempted to pay a visit to the Louvre, t hankfully I decided against it. To f ully appreciate the cornucopia of a rtifacts stashed within the Louvre, or the converted train station that is the Musée d'Orsay, I definitely recommend devoting the better part of a day to really submerse oneself. Of course, in addition to the more familiar, Paris has many other exhibits for the discerning art lover to wander around; indeed there is j ust so much to see in the whole city. Climb the Arc de Triomphe and gaze down the sparkling Champs Elysées; For shopping, visit the b eautiful 'Art Nouveau' Galleries Lafayette or take the métro to the Abbesses stop and stroll the narrow streets of Montmartre; here you will also find the old white church Sacré Coeur, the two remaining Moulins (windmills) of Paris and of course the nearby red light district of Pigali which contains the famous Moulin Rouge—just be ready to pay about $100 to see the show! I also highly recommend a trip to the ancient Catacombs, a fhuge underground collection of human bones, complete with philosophical French signposts. It is easily reached f rom the Denfert-Rochereau métro station. In all, a trip to Paris is immensely satisfying in every regard, f rom the macabre to the enlightening; ' The City of Light' truly has something for everyone. �BY DAVID CHURCH g s p j f i g f f Pride Staff Write£ The track and field season is getting closer and closer to the end, and CSUSM track and field athletes are making their final preparations for May 24-26, NAIA National Championship.

NAIA Track and Field Ail-Americans. 2007 Men's Track team Padres update BY JEREMY ALBERS Pride Staff Writer The major league baseball schedule has been a bit strange early on. Week three of the Padres schedule saw them play consecutivetwo-game series, first in Chicago t& face-the'Gubsv then b ackhome t omeet the A rizona Diamondbacks. It is unusual t o take on an opponent f or a two game set. Series are generally three games and sometimes four. The shortened series l eft the Padres t o rack u p f requent flier miles in a hurry. A fter leaving L.A., dropping two of t hree to the Dodgers, the padres flew to the windy city for two days and back t o the west coast for two against the D-backs. Then they flew to Coors field in Colorado t o resume a more fashionable three-game series against the Rockies. The Padres have played eight days in a row of a ten day stint without a break. Since the Friday the 13th stomping at Los Angeles the Friars have gone 4-3 to stand at 10 w ins and 7 losses through April 20. Saturday, April 14 was another gem thrown by Padres ace right-hander Jake Peavy. O r^e again Peavy was dealing, giving u p only one r un on three hits in seven innings. He improved h is record to 5 -0 in h is last six outings against the rival Dodgers. T he p erformance was large since the Padres were blitzed 9-1 the night before. The o ffense was provided by B rian Giles, who homered and drove in two, and new 3B Kevin Kouzriianoff who hit his first home r un as a Padre in the f ourth i nning o ff Dodger pitcher Jason Schmidt. The following day Chavez Ravine proved a tough place t o play as the Padres dropped the series by losing. Left-hander Randy Wolf was staked to t hree r uns early and went on to beat Padres and Chris Young 9-3. The Sunday night game was seen on ESPN and highlighted by the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking t he color barrier in MLB. Robinson played for the Dodgers while they were still in Brooklyn and was elected t o the Hall of Fame in 1962. Traveling to Chicago t o play t he Cubs for two games seemed simple enough. The Padres were 7-0 against the Cubs last year but spent huge dollars in the f ree agent market to upgrade their squad. In game one, Padres pitcher Clay Hensley continued h is struggles and the Friars lost 12-4. The Cubs hit three home rims while the Padres hit one; a ninth inning t hree-run shot by Marcus Giles. In game two, Greg Maddux took the hill in his old stomping grounds, Maddux had twotours in Chicago pitching a total of 10 years at Wrigley Field. Maddux pitched well, giving u p three r uns in five innings and keeping the Padres in it. There was not a r un scored by either team f rom the fifth through the fourteenth when G eoff Blum poked a double that scooted under Cubs LF Jacque Jones (San Diego High) glove allowing Khalil Greene to score the game winning r un. Trevor H offman closed the door on the series with his third save of the season in the bottom of the fourteenth. The travel-weary Padres came home for two against the Diamondbacks hoping t o rest the bullpen. L efty David Wells (Point Loma High) matched u p with last year's Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. The Padres had opportunities early but failed to capitalize and Webb went on to set a career high by striking out 13. Wells pitched great, giving u p t hree hits and a walk in seven innings. A 2-2 lasted till the t welfth when the D backs scored three r uns o ff Mike Thompson. The pitching staff was taxed a fter the two games and 26 innings sandwiching a flight f rom Chicago to San Diego. Jake Peavy took the mound in game two of the series and dominated with his arm and his bat. Peavy hit a two r un triple in the third inning to highlight seven early Padres r uns and celebrate his third win of the year, winning 11-6. SS Khalil Greene and C Rob Bowen hit home r uns in the seventh inning to extend the lead a fter the Diamondbacks had battled back to make it a two r un game. A series in Colorado kicked off with an overpowering performance by Chris Young of the Padres. He simply mowed through the Rockies lineup allowing one r un on f our hits while fanning seven in his seven innings of work. IB Adrian Gonzalez continued to lead the Padres offense by swatting a 447 foot bomb to right center. The Padres won 11-1 in the s eries opener. ¡ ¡¡¡il tHrV•^mmf i tv r i ri M Má i m; m m m ^ 2007 Women's Track team Phetos courtesy of CSUSM Athletics SOLARIUMS :_ -" - v - fflffl&E&m&m San «tercos W f e s t í m s t í W B h i .s b www.iTanSanDiego. mrn^^rnm^ •dahl'QfSÎ �Jock Talk With Josh: NBA picks revisited BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Back on October 31, five scary looking guys appeared in this column. Their names were Fernando Brown, Paul Baimbridge, Mike Millburn, Kyle Trembley, and Josh Sandoval. Their mission: to predict what was going to happen in the 2006-2007 NBA season. Now that the NBA season has concluded, and the playoffs are underway I figured this was the time to look back on those predictions and talk a little bit about the post-season. The N ostradamus . award goes t o Paul for predicting the Toronto Raptors as the Most Improved Team. W hen he sent that pick to me I accused h im of being d runk. I feel safe saying that Paul is the only p erson in the world who thought t he R aptors would b e good. The t eam n orth of the border is t he No. 3 seed in the E astern C onference f acing the No. 6 seeded New Jersey Nets. The Captain Obvious award goes to Mike for predicting t he New York Knicks as the Most Disappointing Team. Even though Mike was the only one of u s to predict the 33-49 season, I still have t o tease h im about the ease of that pick. The Take Back award goes to Fernando for picking the Clippers to go to the Western Conference finals. The C lip Show finishes two games back of the Golden State Warriors for the final spot in the playoffs. The Most Likely to Happen award also goes to Fernando, since he did predict the Suns to beat the Pistons in the NBA Championship. The Pistons are the No. 1 seed in the East and the Suns are the No. 2 seed in the West. The Overzealous award goes to me for picking the New Jersey Nets over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Championship. The Nets have a lot of talent with Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but only finished 41-41 whereas the Mavericks had the best record in the NBA this season at 67-15. The Mike and Mike award goes t o Mike for picking Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as the N BA Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers finished with the same record of 50-32 that they had the previous season, but they went i rr kJB mS ' Wh' 1 Write l lllï KMjyi ^ f rom 14 games back and the No. 4 seed to only three games back and the No. 2 seed this season. I still t hink Mike only picked Mike because they share the same first name. The Should Happen But Won't award will be split in half with one half going to Paul and one half going to me for picking Kobe Bryant as the regular season MVP. Kobe's supporting cast, or lack there-of, fell apart this season. Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Chris M ihm, and Kwame Brown all missed time due to injuries and Kobe still got the Lakers into the playoffs. The Joey Crawford Hater award goes t o Kyle because Kyle made a lot of his picks revolving around the Spurs. NBA referee Joey Crawford threw Duncan out of a game towards the end of the season because Duncan was laughing on the bench. Crawford then threatened D uncan to a fight. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford and r umor is that Crawford's career may b e over. Duncan, meanwhile is worried that Crawford's cronies in the NBA ref society are going to punish his Spurs team. Kyle had the Spurs beating the Mavericks in the Western Finals and then the Heat in the N BA Championship and had D uncan w inning the MVP. Ifyou're keeping score at home, the final award is: Kyle - 1, Paul - 1.5, Me - 1.5, Fernando - 2, Mike-2. Now for my revised N BA playoff picks. The Suns will beat the Pistons in the N BA Finals with Steve Nash claiming MVP. Comments can b e sent t o m e at Sando026@csusm.edu or to the newspaper at pride@csusm.edu.

"There is no plot." With these words echoing in my mind, I settled in t o watch the last performance of " The Bald Soprano," presented by the Visual and P erforming A rts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. I confess I was predisposed t o be disappointed by t he play - not because I don't have faith in t he VPA t o deliver the goods, but because I am usually suspicious of anything which calls itself an "anti-play or parody." I o ften f ind such pieces less humorous t han depressingly misanthropic. "The Bald Soprano," written by Eugene Ionesco, is an odd combination of wit and misanthropy which, though it didn't make me laugh out loud, amused me and pro- Anthony Buonocore (left) as Mr. Martin and Lucia D. Lopez (right) as Mrs. Martin. vided some food for thought. Eugene Ionesco was one of the fathers of absurdist theater. Born in Romania in 1909, Ionesco grew u p in Paris. There he was employed a s a teacher, translator and proofreader, and it was only at the age of 39 that Ionesco tried h is hand at play writing. "The Bald Soprano," Ionesco's first play, was p erformed in 1950. Ionesco's experience learning English f rom a phrase book provided the inspiration for the piece. He found that dialogue within the phrase book, when read as though one were reading a novel, was intriguing in its f ragmentary and absurd nature. The meaning in "The Bald Soprano" derives f rom the fact that the dialogue itself has no meaning. The actors spout o ff insipid remarks that are completely u nrelated to those of the person t o whom they are speaking. Conversation, then, ceases to connect the parties who are conversing, a s they talk a lot but say little. C areful consideration seemed t o have b een t aken by t he cast and crew of t his p erformance t o make t his play appear applicable t o t oday's A merican society while r etaining something of the era in which it was w ritten. The result was a cross-generational amalgamation which lent itself b eautifully t o t he absurdity of t he play. The set was spare, containing bits of f urniture that could have easily existed in 1950s France as in 2007 America, except for multiple television sets showing images of President Bush and Ask Alliant About Education A t o ur S an Diego c ampus, w e offer: • TeachersCHO/CE preparation programs • E arly Completion Option: C alifornia Teaching Credential i n Nine Months • Master's in Education: Teaching, offered with the E arly Completion Option o r online • Master's in E ducation with credential in one y ear • A uditory-Oral Certificate • School and Educational Psychology ¡I S I. • Master's in Education, School Psychology Credential • Doctorate in Educational Psychology • Teaching English t o Speakers of O ther Languages ( TESOL) llllllllIIISSI, • Master's in Education, TESOL • Doctorate in T ESOL • T ESOL Graduate Certificate or CLAD Certificate • Educational Leadership • Master's in Educational Administration • Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management For m ore i nformation, o r t o a ttend an o pen h ouse call I - 8 6 6 - U - A L L I A N T o r email a d m i s s i o n s @ a l l i a n t . e d u MflHHHk Accepting Applications f o r F all 2 0 0 7 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY G r a d u a t e S chool o f E d u c a t i o n www.alliant.edu/gsoe San Francisco • Sacramento Los Angeles • Fresno • Irvine San Diego • Mexico City • Online Aliant is a private, nonprofit u n i M M California M m m W ir ' r; / opportunity employer and educator.

Kudos t o Heather Bliss, M ary Foley, Rachel P angilinan, Terinn Rozo, and Rozue Yamada f or t heir creative c ostuming. Directed by Marcos Martinez, the cast of "The Bald Soprano" was divided into two - one first cast playing April 13, 14, and 20, the second playing April 12,19, and 21. Cast two's Jessica Swan made a commendable t urn as the facetious Mrs. Smith, while Omar Yanez b eautifully deadpanned as her staid husband. The irrepressible Mrs. M artin was cheekily p erformed by Lucia D. Lopez, and Anthony Buonocore was likable as her easily excitable husband. Admirably, Shane Barksdaie managed t o stay in character as t he ridiculous Fire Chief without cracking a smile. Although Ionesco's dialogue does nothing t o flesh out the characters, as this is hardly a character-driven piece, the actors did a nice j ob of bringing life t o their roles. Without the spark of life in those who t ry desperately t o communicate, I do not t hink Ionesco's statement about the futility of h uman communication would have rang as t rue as it did during the April 21 p erformance of "The Bald Soprano." �^ Horror BY RICHARD ESPERTI Pride Staff Writer "Vacancy" delivers a h eart throbbing and s uspenseful t hrill ride capable of leaving audiences in fear of overnight stays in small town motels. The f ilm's uncharacteristic choice of actors, no ditzy and defenseless starlets which is so typical of slasher-films, makes for a truly realistic t errifying horror film.

I n all of h is creepiness, Whaley manages t o convince the Foxes t o stay overnight at the Pinewood Motel until m orning when the town mechanic r eturns.

I t's a typical thriller film. The m ain characters t ake a w rong t urn, they get bad directions, their car b reaks down and suddenly they are forced into a n ightmarish situation.

This week I picked another local spot to check out. For any San Diegan the Stone Brewery is considered local, but for u s Cougars the Stone Brewery and World Bistro is our neighbor. Not but five minutes f rom our campus is one of the most impressive breweries I have been t o yet. The list of beers is almost endless, so you can imagine how hard it was t o choose one. But I did, and t his week's Beer of the Week is the Stone Smoked Porter. A porter-type beer is much darker then a pale ale or brew of that sort. But it is not as black as a stout beer. At the brewery the color of this beer is known as a dark mahogany. But it j ust looked dark brown to me. It is a smoked porter due to the amount of peat-smoked specialty malt Stone uses. Another interesting fact, which seems to be a trend at the brewery, is that this beer among others is 100% natural. N o additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, no pasteurization, and no adjuncts (which is a fancy word for no rice or corn). I prepared myself for a very bitter beer with a strong bite as it went down. But it was much more subtle than the color led me to believe. My first thought was that this brew is very f ull bodied and rich but not bitter. During the first couple of gulps, I had a hard time distinguishing all of the flavors. But as I got about half-way done with the glass, I could continuously taste chocolate and c offee flavors and a distinct smoky flavor. Even with all that flavor there w as no bitter taste lingering on the back of my tongue. This is a beer t hat I would recommend trying. The Stone Brewery and World Bistro do not j ust o ffer some of the world's finest beers but also some incredible food. I enjoyed their famous Mac a nd Beer Cheese, which was incredible. But on a college budget it looks like I will be eating o ff the dollar menu for the rest of the week. I f you happen to have a lot of extra cash and you want to t ry some interesting food you can order anything f rom mac and cheese to duck tacos. If you have not yet experienced Stone Brewery and World Bistro I recommend it especially i f consider your self a connoisseur of beer.

Just last year, CSUSM was hailed the Grand Champion of Recycling i n-the Recyclemania competition that has become even more popular among colleges and universities across the nation. And now, from January 28 to April 7, we are taking part in the competition once again. But this year, there's new have forced upon the faculty of the CSU system. In their effort to educate the students and the community, CSUSM professors held signs and chanted in favor of a fair Contract. Two days later, the CSU Board of Trustees gave a 4% pay raise to all CSU presidents and several top administrators, the result of what had been in the workings since July. In spite of Monday's informational picketing and November's rally when 1,000 professors and 500 students chanted in front of the Chancellor's office in Long Beach, the executives received a pay raise from the CSU Board of Trustees which would put some of them up to earning $377,000 annually. In all their efforts for gaining a fair contract and a halt in student tuition raises, this recent pay raise adds another wrinkle to the complexity of what has become a salient issue of misplaced priorities. Janet Powell, CFA President of the San Marcos chapter, said, "The CFA was not surprised by recent events of the CSU Board of Trustee's decision to raise top administrator's salaries or the Governor's Budget which will likely raise student tuition by another 10%.

We are concerned about the future of the CSU, our salary negotiation [is] one symptom of a much larger issue." Dr. Powell added,. "We are not against raises for anyone; all employees of the CSU are underpaid. We are just discouraged that the Board of Trustees have chosen to favor top administrators by giving significant raises to them while at the same time walking away from the faculty bargaining table." CFA Secretary, Professor Lance Newman took part in Monday's informational picketing as well. Professor Newman said, "I'm angry about the misplaced priorities of the administration, but I am hopeful that determined activism, like the possible twoday strikes, will show the depth of faculty unity and seriousness and will help convince the administration to think again." On February 6, the CFA will hold an informational meeting for all faculty in order to make the decision to strike as they take all the variables of the strike into consideration. The CFA has made it clear that the last thing they want to do is to disrupt students' studies and academic performance although it is possible that classes could be cancelled on the two day rolling strikes. Dr. Powell said, "At this point, the CFA believes that the Chancellor's Office and the Board of J Tfúste&'s* are Very4 rriuéh out óf touch with the needs of those who are at the heart of the CSU, the students, staff, and faculty. They did not get the message at our protest in November and they seem to not be getting it by our picketing now. Striking seems to us to be the only option." Professor Newman and Dr. Powell agreed that students can do their university a favor and let their voice be heard by writing letters and speaking out against the mismanagement of faculty, students and staff. Professor Newman said, "What we need most right now is a unified message from all parts of the university community—students, faculty, and staff—that says, 'It's time to rebuild our school. The CSU is the future of California, but for too many years, we've seen rising fees, stagnating salaries, and shrinking budgets.'" Dr. Powell believes that students should be involved when it comes to issues that affect them and those around them such as siblings and children. "Letter writing to the Chancellor's Office, the CSU Board of Trustee's, legislators, and the Governor are efforts all students should participate in on a regular basis. I hope that students will do whatever they think is best for themselves and future students and encourage them to research these issues and come to their own conclusions." Dr. Powell adddd, "The CSU has long been considered the 'people's university'. The promise of an accessible education is disappearing as more students will not be able to attend college due to high tuition and the university will i ot W able to recruit or retain quality professors, staff, and administrators."

Those who earn the PreDoctoral scholarship earn a free summer internship at the institution of their choice. According to Lisa Bandong, the Campus Program Coordinator, "The California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship and Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program are two scholarship programs from the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University. Both programs require CSU faculty sponsorship, and that is why our campus administers them through the Faculty Center. The funds from both of these programs come from the California State Lottery." Bandong is the go-to person when students begin the process of recieving a scholarship. She will meet with the students oneon-one to discuss their "goals, the application and selection process, and most importantly, the faculty sponsorship." The two scholarships have different requirements but both need a faulty sponsor. It's a good thing to have a relationship with the sponsor for the faculty who know the student can better support students and help students with t heij goals. Bandong's advice is for "students working consciously on building relationships with their profes- sors in all of their courses. Students should learn as much as they can about their professors' experiences and talk with their professors about their goals and plans." "The Pre-Doc is designed to increase the diversity of the pool of potential university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of individuals who are CSU juniors, seniors or graduate students that are economically and educationally disadvantaged" said Bandong. "The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program seeks to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion of the doctoral degree." The Chancellor's Doctoral has a forgivable loan for students who return to teach at a CSU campus, and once they begin teaching, 20% of the loan is forgiven with every year of service. Though the scholarship does not guarantee employment to any of the CSU's, it definitely helps decrease money owed if students decide to work in the CSU system.

The Campœ Policetìps line ext is 8 477, : ' : Bartleby.com is a literature haven that combines a hybrid selection of classic and modern literature ready for reference. The website offers—for free—a huge resource of everything from English usage guides to quick reference of famous quotations, encyclopedias, dictionaries, a thesaurus, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction literature. For students this means easy access to a lot of information. Some of the information offered is otherwise expensive and/or hard to find. Bartleby comes in handy for little things like figuring out: "who was it that said that one famous quote, anyway?" As Gertrude Stein says, "Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing," and this is just one example of the thousands of famous quotes that can be easily found on Bartleby. With the 2,500 word writing requirement per course at CSUSM, sooner than later most CSUSM students can and should utilize these references. With Bartleby students can quickly have access to key pointers in the correct usage for the sometimes confusing words like "affect" and "effect," or "accept" and "except." Additionally, the expansive encyclopedias can be extremely helpful. The website also contains full texts of anthologies and volumes of classic literature, including Charles Dickens, Aesops Fables, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and offers access to the poetry of Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, John Keats, William Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. The verse, fiction and non-fiction collections offered by the website are unique indeed. If one happens to be "falling, upon the thorns of life," in the name of Shelley, searching for Poe or Dickinson, or just need some guidance with "Beowulf," Bartleby has the easy button readily available for students and professors alike. In 1993, Bartelby.com offered their viewers the -first publication of its kind, an electronic version of Walt Whitman's, "Leaves of Grass." The New York based website boasts 370,000 web pages, 10,000 poems, and an elaborate collection of quotations at over 86,000, which is the largest collection available to date. Also offered are the latest versions of the "Columbia Encyclo- pedia" and "The American Heritage Dictionary." According to the website, Steven H. van Leeuwen, the President, Chairman and Founder of Bartleby started it as a research experiment concerning electronic publishing, but the experiment quickly developed into the vast accessible resource that it is today. When a viewer feels that he or she is ready to purchase a favorite selection for one's private collection, Bartleby also offers books for sale in connection with Amazon.com. Bartleby and Amazon forge the common goal to accelerate the wide availability of literature. William Shakespeare himself might have done research at this website, had the resource been available to him.

In the near future you will not be able to access most of the websites you visit daily, unless these websites pay a premium to Internet Service providers, such as AT&T, Time-Warner and Comcast. Your high speed internet will not apply to any site you go to, but only those chosen by your Cable Company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is not a warning, this is already happening, and the Internet needs our help. If you are not yet familiar with the term "Net-Neutrality" this is nothing new; bloggers, active citizens, websites, and activists have been trying to bring attention to the topic for years. According to www.savetheinternet.com "When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever website we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any feature we like; watching videos online, listening to podcasts, searching for information, emailing, and instant messaging, anytime we choose. We also assume that we can attach devices like wireless routers, game controllers, or extra hard drives to make our online experience better. What makes all these assumptions possible is ,TNetwork Neutrality," the guiding principle that ensures the Internet remains free and unrestricted. Net Neutrality prevents the companies that control the wires bringing you the Internet from discriminating against content based on its ownership or source. But that could all change. The biggest cable and telephone com- panies would like to charge money for smooth access to Web sites, speed to run applications, and permission to plug in external devices. These network conglomerates believe they should be able to charge website operators, application providers, and device manufacturers for the right to use the network. Those who don't make ä deal and pay up will experience discrimination: Their sites won't load as quickly, their applications and devices won't work as well. Without legal protection, consumers could find that a network operator has blocked the website of a competitor, or slowed it down so much that it's unusable. It now falls to the Senate to save the cable companies, including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, want to free and open Internet.

That may be something of a shock to, hear from a sports writer, especially one who loves football. But hear me out on this one. The game is built up for two weeks. It is talked about in the media for those 14 days as, the greatest game that will ever be played, and more times than not I have admitted to seeing better high school games. ^ The long break in between the conference championship gsmes also gives the media plenty of opportunity to beat the same stories to death. I can't tell you how many times I have heard that Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy are the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. Also, how Dungy gave Smith his first job in the NFL and how they are best friends. I wish I could tell ESPN that I only need to hear these things once. I also know that Peyton Manning has yet to win the big game and that Adam Vinatieri has been the difference in three Super Bowl titles. Also, don't mention the fact that Mike Ditka coached the 1985 Bears, which won the Super Bowl. Oh, arid I do know that Rex Grossman has been sketchy this season. If I hear one iftore thing about Marvin Harrison and Manning being in sync for more touchdowns than any other duo in NFL history I may actually puke. I also know that Harrison is unlike all the other receivers in the league in that fact that he talks with his game and not his mouth, so save that as well. What may annoy me more than all the story lines being thrown at me is that everyone thinks they are an expert on who is going to win. Everyone from the casual fan to the "experts" on Sportscenter have a take on who is going to win. The following are different reasons I have heard for why each team is going to win. The Colts' offense is too good. The Bears' defense is too good. The Colts' defense isn't reliable. The Bears' offense is too inconsistent. All of that is just the build up to the game. The actual game pisses me off more than the build up. The game takes like half a day to play because there are so many media timeouts for the multimillion dollar advertisements to be played on television. By the time the game gets to halftime we have to see an hour concert from some singer who is so washed up their skin is wrinkled. I really don't want to see the symbol, Prince, perform in the middle of a football game. If I really wanted to see Prince perform I would turn the way back machine to the 1980s. Not to mention the announcers. CBS isn't as bad as FOX, but they are still ~ pretty hacky. If I hear another announcer duo trying to be a couple of stand-up comedians I might reach the point of putting the television on mute and recording my own commentary to the games. With all that said, I am still going to watch the game because of the Super Bowl pools and great food at the parties.

Pite^tMmi^ �Super Bowl XLI * Thoughts and predictions about the game W hy t he Chicago Bears will win BY MIKE MILLBURN Pride Staff Writer First, I feel compelled to mention the oh-so-small detail that I absolutely loathe the Bears. As a rabid fan of Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers, I find the fact that they are in the Super Bowl detestable. That being said, however, I believe that they will in fact handle the Colts and win their first Lombardi Trophy since the mid-1980s. The biggest factor for the Bears is the brain of quarterback Rex Grossman. While I don't doubt his arm, it is his decision making that will be the largest area of concern. He has been a proverbial Jekyll and Hyde this season; one week he'll play like Johnny Unitas, the next week he'll look like former Charger vagabond Ryan Leaf. Whether or not he keeps his head in the game will go a long way towards determining a Bears win. The Bears' backs will have a big game against a suspicious Colts run defense. While the Colts' defense has played well during the playoffs, they still give up 173 rushing yards per game. Expect the platoon of Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson to have a monster day. The receivers are not great, but they get the job done. Mushin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian are the main targets, but don't discount backups Rashied Davis and Mark Bradley. They are more than capable of catching the deep ball and burning the Colts' defensive secondary. While the Bears are definitely a run-first team, the pass game is capable of taking over a game. The Bears' offensive line is one of the best in the business, led by center Olin Kreutz and right guard Roberto Garza. The Colts' defensive line has been beaten up all season by teams with dom- W hy t he Indianapolis Colts will win inant O-lines, and it will happen again as the pocket should keep Rex Grossman upright for most of the game. Now to the bread and butter of the Bears: their vaunted defense. The team's front seven is only equaled in ferocity by the San Diego Chargers. While they will be without all-world defensive tackle Tommie Harris, this line is still dangerous, as they have combined for 31 sacks. Don't get me wrong, the Colts' offensive line is a good one (as Peyton Manning has been sacked only 14 times this season), but they have not faced a line this good all season. Manning will have nightmares about these guys in the offseason. The three linebackers could start for any team in the league, and are the heart and soul of the defense. The unquestioned leader is middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who may be the best linebacker of the last 15 years, though Ray Lewis may argue that statement. A six-time Pro Bowler, Urlacher is joined by fellow Pro Bowler Lance Briggs, who led the team with 113 solo tackles. The strong-side backer, Hunter Hillenmeyer, is a future star in the league. The secondary has speed everywhere, starting with corners Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher. But the most dangerous member of the secondary is rookie Devin Hester. Imagine a younger and faster Dante Hall and you'll get Hester, who can return the ball for a touchdown every time he touches it. Safety Danieal Manning is another rookie who is getting better at just the right time. While the offense does just enough to get by, the defense and special teams are far too good to ignore; they will overwhelm the Colts and win the big game 27-17 with Thomas Jones claiming the MVP. BY PAUL BAIMBRIDGE Pride Staff Writer For the first time in 36-years, the Baltimore...oops, Indianapolis Colts are back in the Super Bowl. It has been a while since their last visit back in Super Bowl V when they were the Baltiihore Colts. If you only watched the regular season you'd think I'm crazy for saying this, but their defense is a big reason why they are going to win the Super Bowl. Their No. 32 ranked run defense during the regular season was one of the worst in NFL history, giving up 173-yards per game and even gave up 375-yards to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 10. That defense isn't the same defense that is now in the Super Bowl. Of the three playoff games, their defense has given up 32-yards to Larry Johnson, 53 to Jamal Lewis and 93 to the plethora of runners New England trots out. The Colts defense is stingy and they just stopped three of the top eight offenses the AFC has to offer. Now from the Colts' defense to the opponent's defense. New England's defense is known throughout the NFL as being very confusing, showing different looks in order to confuse the quarterback and making it difficult to read the coverage. New England's defense was ranked No. 6 during the season, right behind Chicago, which was ranked No. 5. The Patriots gave up a total of 14.8 ppg, second only to the Ravens, a team the Colts literally kicked to death 15-6, which gave up 12.6 ppg. Chicago's defense shouldn't be too hard, since the Colts figured a way around New England and Baltimore. How about Rex? Rex Grossman has been in the league since 2003 but has been riddled with injuries until this year. David Church Colts 25, Bears 24 MVP; Adam Vinatieri 4-4 FG's Joshua Sandoval Bears 34, Colts 30 MVP; Rex Grossman 24-30 3 T Ds 290 yards p He is an up and coming QB in this league, but his talent is still raw. The Super Bowl is just too big for an inexperienced and inconsistent QB like Grossman to come in and beat a guy like Peyton Manning when it matters most. Manning finally beat the Patriots; every single time the media dubs it the Colts' year the Patriots have been there to give them the boot. It happened in the AFC Championship game in 2003 and in the Divisional round in 2004. If Manning wanted to get to, and win, the Super Bowl he was going to have to go through the Patriots. Manning has beaten the Patriots, is now in the big game and is ready for this moment. There is a resiliency about the Colts this year that I have never seen in previa ous years. Every time the Colts lose in the playoffs they always lose without putting up a fight. We've seen them win big in the playoffs, but wow do they lose horribly; 20-3 to the Patriots in 2004, 24-14 to the Patriots in 2003 and 41-0 to the Jets in 2002. The Colts seem like they actually want it and you can see it in the way they play. When it was 21-6 at the half against the Patriots in the AFC championship the Colts were never out of it. Manning hurt his finger on his throwing hand during the gam£ and almost came out of the game. What did Manning and the Colts do? The defense held, Manning stayed in the game and led them on the eventual winning drive. With emotional leaders like Manning on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Colts are primed to win 34-24 with Manning going 20-of34 for 379 yards and 3 TD, while claiming the MVP. ^ ' ^ h ^ f ^ ^ a r ó Esperti Colts 31, Bears 21 MVP: Marvin; Harrison 8 Catphes 138 yards £ f D's m m..,.11 . - -; ^ iF February 4, 200? will brins Will have thirtf straight big game l<r WÊÊÊKKÊÊÊÊÊKÊÊÊJËmm ¡ ¡¡ili i iL g ¡¡ . your party go with m äsä t owatdui?

With a group of mainly freshman, sprinkled with some veteran experience, Coach Dennis Pugh leads the Cougars into their first year of play. lt won't be instant success with this bunch but the near future is bright. Coach Pugh is a San Diego area coaching legend and his track record speaks for itself. As coach at Mission Bay high school, his teams won 18 league titles and 8 CIF championships. When asked about the acquisition of Coach Pugh, Athletic Director Dr. Stephen Nichols said, "We are really, really lucky. Pugh's name carries weight". Nichols even went as far to say that he did "cartwheels" in his office because he immediately recognized the potential for the program to compete. Nichols, who attended Long Beach State and Ohio State, understands the impor- edge that there are some expectations in tance of having major sports such as base- this first year. ball at CSUSM.

For more information on baseball and other sports check the athletics website on the CSUSM homepage. To come out and support the team, head over to San Marcos High School located at 1615 W. San Marcos Blvd, a couple miles from campus. The next home game is Friday February 2 at 2p.m. If you like offense, this team should be very entertaining to watch. When asked if he had any comments to the student body, Coach Pugh said, "Come on out. We're here for the students. They voted for this program and we appreciate that." that. "We're basically two-deep at every position," explains Milo. "The friendly competition for playing time is helping push the players." The squad's excellent pitching staff will be throwing to catchers Tasha Stokes and Lindsey Preovolos. While both are very talented in their own right, Coach Milo expects them to split time throughout the season, due to the physical demands of playing the position. They're also solid at the plate - Stokes has "tremendous" power, according to Milo, and the potential to be an All-American. In fact, both players will likely be in the lineup at the same time, with the one that's not catching playing first base. Sophomore Aly Brown will be in the rotation there as well. At second base, Milo believes she has a good mix of players who are all solid defensively. Freshman Malarie Barnard will definitely see a lot of action there, and Erica Coelho figures to play second when she's not pitching. Filling the key position of shortstop will be Holly Russell and Samantha Valenzuela. Russell, a Mission Hills High grad, is one of the team's most experienced players. She's expected to bat in the middle of the lineup due to her excellent hitting potential and power. Freshman Amanda Sanchez is expected to play third. She has very good reaction time - a crucial trait to playing the hot corner. Melissa Lerno, whose .353 batting average at Palomar was overshadowed by her pitching, will also see time at third when she's not on the mound. Coach Milo expects the outfield to be the strength of the team's defense. "As whole, they're very quick and cover a lot of ground," she says. "All our outfielders could play any position in the outfield." Leading the group is centerfielder Danielle Tucker. Lake Elsinore High's 2006 Female Athlete of the Year, Tucker's commitment this fall to giving 110% effort at all times earned her co-captain status on the Cougar softball team. Her blazing speed serves her well both in the field and at the plate, where the slap-hitter is expected to bat leadoff for the team. Joining Tucker as a co-captain is leftfielder Leilani Madrigal. As the only junior on the team's freshman-heavy roster, Madrigal provides leadership and experience to the group. She also provides a great bat - a .535 average at Los Angeles Valley College. She'll likely hit second and share time in the outfield with Clairemont High grad Lauren Turner. Finally, right field is expected to be anchored by Elizabeth Bush and Joy Leon. Leon was Fallbrook High's Most Valuable. Offensive Player last year, and is moving to the outfield from first base. Bush, also a freshman, will see time in centerfield as well as right. Though the Cougars' inaugural team brings plenty of talent to the table, making the playoffs will be a challenge. CSUSM competes in the very difficult Region II of the NAIA, and will face all the powerhouse schools from the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). According to Coach Milo, the biggest key to succeeding will be for players to step into leadership roles and carry the team through its tightly-packed 50-game schedule. The team will also need support from the Cougar community, and all fans are encouraged to head out to Mission Hills High to catch some great softball action. The squad will lead off its season on Saturday, February 10th in a home double-header against Vanguard University starting at noon. Admission is always free, so come out and support your CSUSM softball team throughout its first season! �Cou Words Courtesy of The Pride Across 1.

I'll tell you what you get, Hop Scotch, you get one heck of a funny movie. It's hard to believe that the screenplay for "Night at the Museum" was written by two men who also gave us "Reno 911!" but Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, along with director Shawn Levy, have turned out a truly great family film - so great, in fact, that I've seen it twice ~ once with friends and once with family. I will add a word of caution for people with very young or very sensitive children: there are a couple of scenes that could get pretty intense, especially for children who are afraid of mummies, dinosaurs, or skeletons. These scenes and some crude humor are what earn the movie its PG rating. In "Night at the Museum," Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a divorced father who has a new get-rich^ quick scheme every month. Worried about disappointing his son yet again, Larry takes a job as the new night guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York. Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, and Bill Cobbs play the guards who trick Larry into taking over their jobs. Larry quickly learns that, thanks to a magic Egyptian tablet, all of the museum's exhibits come alive between sunset and sunrise. Larry's job is to keep the exhibits from escaping without destroying the museum or getting himself killed in the process. This is no small task since the museum's exhibitions read like a list of History's Most Wanted, from Neanderthals to Mongols. Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan give him particular trouble as a cowboy and a Roman general who answer the question, "What would happen if Roman expansion ever came up against Manifest Destiny?" Robin Williams rounds out the stars as the wise, if a bit nutty, Teddy Roosevelt, who alternately cajoles and coerces Larry into responsibility and heroism. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine how "Night at the Museum" could have gone wrong. Ben Stiller gives a good performance, and Dick Van Dyke will always be one of my favorite actors. It's well worth sticking around through the credits to see their outtakes. However, Mickey Rooney steals the show as an octogenarian with a short man's complex who likes to pick fights with epithets Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox like "lunch box," "applesauce," and "butterscotch." In addition to the major stars, "Night at the Museum" has a talented supporting cast. Ricky Gervais, from the British "The Office," is brilliant as the museum director. Carla Gugino plays a sweet, strong, and intelligent love interest for Larry, and Brad Garrett voices a comically belligerent Easter Island head. The exceptional acting and exciting story all but hide the film's few "What the heck?" and "Hey wait a minute!" moments. One particularly confusing scene shows a shadowy figure sneaking into a dark room and doesn't seem to have made any sense to anyone I talked to. I was also left with some serious doubts about the credentials of the curators at this fictional museum. Since when does a natural history museum have exhibits about Columbus, Mongols, Aztecs, and the Civil War? Since when does an ostrich belong in an exhibit on African mammals? Also, why do the ancient Romans speak English, while Columbus speaks Italian and Genghis Khan speaks gibberish? Ultimately, however, I think these are all fun questions to debate with friends which add to the movie's humor rather than take away from its appeal.

X V I N O. 2 TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2006 Highest enrollment in school history School shows tremendous support for new NAIA soccer teams UVA: Freshmen lose personal space BY DAVID BAUER Pride Staff Writer New students at CSU San Marcos will find it harder to feel alone this Fall semester—enrollment at the university has increased by almost seventeen percent from last fall's total enrollment. CSU San Marcos has grown considerably in large part due to the state government allowing the school to increase its total student population at a greater rate than in previous years. With a net gain of almost 1,100 full time equivalent students, CSU San Marcos is up to 6,968 students, over 1,300 of whom are incoming freshman. Last year at this time CSU San Marcos was at 5,898 including non full time students total enrollment on campus is 8,461, as compared to last years total of 7,251. And both of these figures are above previous campus enrollment records which had peaked in 2003 when enrollment jumped to 7,708 students. This record breaking growth is not unique however, as San Diego State University has also broken enrollment records with its incoming class this year. While the officialfiguresfor enrollment at all California State University schools are not available until September 22nd, this growth could likely make the student population at CSU 'San Marcos larger than several other California State campuses. Last year, CSU San Marcos was the 19th largest of the CSU schools, beating only CSU Humboldt, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Channel Islands and the Maritime Academy in terms of size. This year CSU San Marcos will become the 16th largest California State University having a larger student population than CSU Stanislaus, CSU Sonoma, and CSU Bakersfield. The increase in enrollment has had other effects on the school as well. Parking has been increased to accommodate the incoming class, including the opening of Lot F, and the continuing use of temporary lots X, Y, and Z. On campus housing has also beaten previous records, with 575 total residents ENROLLMENT, SEE page 2 Photo by Kelly Corrigan / The Pride UVA residents Sean Richards and Andrew Weltzein move into their room to find their space originally occupied by one person will now have to fit the both of them.

In order for UVA to build more apartments elsewhere on campus, they need tofirstprove to the State of California that they have the demand to do so. The challenge: accommodating one hundred more students a space provided originally intended for less. One particular aspect about the UVA which proved to be a rarity among other university dorms was the gift of choice. In the past, students could choose to live in a private room with three other roommates. Students could also choose to share a larger room with one roommate. Either way, four students were assigned to one apartment. Alas, this is where the freshmen come in. Every freshman living iri a private room setup in buildings B and C are affected by the change. In each private room setup, there are now six people living in it instead of four. In two out of the four 9 Vi by 11ft.rooms, there are now two freshman instead of one; along with two desks, two dressers, and two beds. The Pride interviewed several different residents living in UVA. Roommates Andrew Weltzien and Sean Richards were asked what they thought of the new DORMS, SEE page 3 Beer of the Week See A & E PAGE 8 �From RECYCLE page 1 TheChPride f p t j a m A i STAFF , EDITOR IN CHIEF I DjmnGMiik BUSINESS MANACER , JASON EHCAEO * S ECTION B BITÖK& \ D A V I D B AUER , ÎSIAXASHA.HECIŒNDOEN SOPHIA BRINK ADVISOR X JOAN ANDERSON & .of editor, published m The t ^pment the o pMoas arttor* a isdA. o f l ite Pride, rf ftt^iaiiaiiii CSUSM had to duke it out with Point Loma Nazarene University and Kalamazoo College. CSUSM came out running halfway through the contest and produced a recycling rate over 50 percent, up from the 43 percent from the 2005 competition. CSUSM actually produces an even higher rate but the contest limits the materials used in the calculation. CSUSM owes the victory to not only the students but to two groups known as the Blue Team and the Green Team. The Green Team is a group of students and faculty at CSUSM who are always thinking of new ways to reduce waste on the campus, the Blue Team collects the recycled materials throughout the campus. These two groups combined have greatly contributed to the two victories. The "Pin Man" trophy from the 2005 victory by CSUSM was handed over to Point Loma based on their 2006 victory in the Waste Minimization category. Point Loma was able to reduce the amount of trash for each student to just 35 pounds per person. Yes, even the trophies are recycled in the Recycle Mania competitions. CSUSM is synonymous with recycling. Steven Brankov who is a student at CSUSM said, "San Marcos is always clean, you don't see trash in the bushes, you see cleanliness." Another student at CSUSM Jenny Bigpond commented, "Those bins are everywhere, it's almost impossible not to recycle." Not only will students walk away from CSUSM with a degrees, and muscular calves, but they will also walk a\yay with recycling as part of their lifestyle. With positive attitudes about recycling like this all over this campus there is no question that CSUSM will be ready for the next Recycle Mania 2007 competition which will be held January through April.

The growth raises concerns among some about resources and services being stretched even more than they have been previously. Some students express concerns about longer wait times at places like computer labs and at the on campus Starbucks and classes filling up faster. Whether or not these sorts of concerns will become serious issues for students during the semester though remains to be seen. Until then, the campus at least appears to be ready to welcome and make room for all 8,500 of us. •. « ¿dressf t elephoae ^ ii&mber^ e -maH tag Meattilcatioii» t etters a nd . jfc^Wd'. tMto p d ri^ m il yisi . ptectrmic . , ibm t& tteMttMA^ C SU ft i t the policy of 13ie Prfde i*ot to priat m mymsm l etters.'

It is generally referred to as halftime in football and the seventh-inning stretch in baseball. But a mandated break in college? I can't say that I am a big fan of this "University Hour" that takes place from 11:50AM-12:50PM. This isn't pre-school where we needed "nap-time". Joshie is a big boy now and he can certainly manage his own time properly. Having no classes during that time killed my scheduling of classes for this semester. It made it impossible for me to schedule classes on just two days a week. My Monday's are going to be brutal now. My first class is from 8AM to 8:50AM, followed by a 1 hour 45 minute break, then a class from 10:30AM to 11:45AM. After "nap-time", I have a class from 1PM to 2:50PM, followed by a 2 hour 40 minute break, and then my last class goes from 5:30PM to 8:15PM. As you can clearly see I have enough time off in between classes already. Since I live a half hour away, going home during those breaks generally is not a smart option since I would spend more time on the road than doing something there. The proponents of "nap-time" believe that this will influence more students to get involved in the university. Anyone who didn't want to get involved in the university before certainly won't use a free hour to get involved now; It will be spent grabbing something to eat, talking on a cell phone or just hanging out. I don't want to hear the excuse that "students don't have enough time in the day to get involved in the university or to study." I somehow find a way to take 19units, write for "The Pride", write for the "Union-Tribune", participate in other activities around the school, and still manage to have a little fun. Go to any professor in the Communication department and ask how involved I am. I also don't want to hear the excuse that other universities and community colleges have similar programs. That's like figure skating realizing the appeal of fighting in the NHL and wanting to implement that in their "sport". Imagine Johnny Weir taking one to the temple from Michelle Kwan. Some things just don't belong in certain places. This university is a commuter campus where many students have full-time jobs and are a bit older than the average college student. We should not be trying to make this place into something it's not. If more student involvement is wanted then there is one thing that needs to be done. More on-campus Photo by David Gatley / The Pride housing needs to be developed, because the majority of people who live on campus are involved in some sort of campus activity on a regular basis.

After doing the math, 1 found out that if they keep going with this $90 raise every 3 months, my grandchildren if they attend Cal State San Marcos in 2048 will pay $1508 for parking, which is basically what you pay for tuition in 2006! Something needs to take charge against this rate hike against students. We all have numerous expenses not including tuition and books. As students we should take action against these unfair prices and have them reduced to what they were close to in 2003» Lets make Cal State San Marcos an affordable place to park. to him.

Boddington's pub ale works perfectly; it is both refreshing and at the same time filling and just looking at it while it's being poured may bring a smile to your face. Widely available both on tap at most pubs or in four packs at most stores, Boddington's pub ale has been produced in Manchester England for the last 200 years and is now distributed by Whitbread. With 4.1% per volume alcohol content, it is not excessively strong. And while it is not the best beer in terms of flavor, Boddington's has a decent and smooth taste of slight hops with a hint of sweetness. The aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms, and like most British beers it is best served cool, not cold. While most connoisseurs would scoff at drinking a canned beer, Boddington's is in some ways more f un to drink in canned form than as a draft. The bright taxicab yellow and black pint cans come four to a pack and generally cost between six and eight dollars. The can itself contains a "floating widget", to aid in creating a rich, creamy head. Floating widgets are small hollow plastic balls with tiny holes in them that are inserted into the can before it is sealed. Liquid nitrogen is then inserted into the can which expands after the can is sealed, which forces "irJjlj beer and gas into the widget. Once the can is opened and exposed to the outside world, the pressure in the can drops causing the beer and gas inside the widget to shoot out of the widget's tiny hole. The mixing action of the pressurized beer releases the dissolved nitrogen in the beer and creates a creamy head as you pour it. The process is both fascinating and f un, and sometimes if opened improperly, results in an explosive, foamy release of beer—which just adds to Boddington's charm. With a bright golden color, and a thick creamy head, Boddington's looks cheerful and inviting. With its smooth taste and mild after taste it works well on its own, so it is perfect for an afternoon of watching football or an after studying round at the pub.

The Cougars took their second straight title with an amazing 50.9 percent recycling rate, easily eclipsing last year's winning mark of 43.6 percent. For the past ten weeks, 93 colleges and universities from across the nation have competed in RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored recycling and waste reduction contest. CSUSM entered this year's contest as the defending champion, but with nearly twice the competition as in 2005. This year, the competition nearly doubled from 47 competitors to 93 national participators. Two schools, Kalamazoo College and Point Loma Nazarene University, exceeded Cal State San C SUSM's Facility Services Blue Crew collect and sort recyclable materials generated by the campus Marcos' record from last year. community.

In an effort to emphasize the need to reduce all waste, measuring both trash and recyclables, the RecycleMania competition introduced a new modified competition renamed "Waste Minimization". The 2006 Competition featured three categories: Waste Minimization, Per Capita, and an overall combined category of Grand Champion. The award of Grand Champion calculates the combination of recycling per capita and waste minimization to determine the institution with the best overall performance. Cal State San Marcos came in second place in the category of Per Capita. However, CSUSM was heads and shoulders above the rest in the special division of Targeted Material-Corrugated Cardboard competition, collecting an astonishing 72 poundsper student,almosttripletheamount collected by Kalamazoo College which Recycle, SEE page 3 Photo courtesy of Carl Hanson, member of CSUSM's Green Team. Are Course Evaluations worth the effort? BY LORA PAINTER Pride Staff Writer With the conclusion of each semester, students participate in course evaluations providing feedback to professors and administrators on the quality of the curriculum and teaching effectiveness. Within a four-year academic career at Cal State San Marcos, each student will complete approximately 35-40 course evaluations, evaluating both the instructor and the course. Many students rush through the evaluation process, and doubt that their opinions are ever read or considered. Through further analysis and interviews with key faculty members, findings negate student suspicions that course evaluations go overlooked. "Course evaluations assist instructors in monitoring their teaching effectiveness," said Matthew Ceppi, director of Institutional Planning & Analysis. "Research has shown that ratings can be used to improve instruction delivery ifutilized as part of a personal consultation between the faculty member and a mentor or Evaluations, SEE page 2 Biasedl mediaP BY JON THOMNPSON Pride Staff Writer On Tuesday evening, CSUSM professor Dr. Anthony Hurst introduced the group "Peace Mark." Representative Hank Kraus had contacted Hurst about having their speaker give a lecture on campus. Kraus briefly described his organization as a peace organization seeking an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Kraus then introduced the evening's speaker, Allison Weir, as a "Peace Mark" affiliate with "If Americans Knew." Although the lecture was open to the public, it was attended by Hurst's LTWR/COMM 316 Student Newspaper class and a handful of local "Peace Mark" members. The only Cal State San Marcos students in attendance were from the Student Newspaper class. "Despite our affiliations we should get the facts," said Weir, as she introduced herself as a journalist. She went on to say, "I don't take a side; I just believe in being as accurate as possible, and reporting what the media leaves out." She expressed that "all humans are important, regardless of race, or religion." After being questioned for clarification, Weir said, "My views are not without my own bias." Weir began the presentation with a power point of numerous graphs demonstrating the drastic slant in American news coverage of Israeli deaths, as opposed to the coverage of the deaths of Palestinians.

Recently, the evaluations have been reviewed for modifications by the Academic Senate. The evaluation modifications are expected to go through another review during the 2006/2007 school year. According to Dr. Dreama Moon, Communication professor and department chair, student evaluations were born during the 1960's and '70's as a result of student resistance. Students felt that professors had a lot of power and control over their grades, while the students themselves had no say regarding the course experience. So, course evaluations were created and became a part of professors' job performance review. "I read mine and attended to the comments that are helpful and constructive,- but some [are] not," said Dr. Moon. While course evaluations were born out of Baby Boomer student activism, today's college students may feel less engaged about them, according to Moon. "Students often don't give them much attention or thought," said Dr. Moon. "I believe in student power and their voices should be heard, but it's like a mechanic evaluating a plumber." "It's just a way of getting students' opinions without actually dealing with them," said Austin Anderson, Communication major and graduating senior. "I'm sure there's a law out there that requires {course evaluations], but I don't think the [administrators] sit there and actually read them." In fact, Article 15 (15.14 15.17) of the California Faculty Association collective bargaining agreement outlines the policies on course evaluations completed by students. According to the other resource person." According to Ceppi, the campus spends $36,709 each academic year generating, conducting and processing course evaluations. The course evaluations utilize an academic scantron format, requiring students to provide answers to specific course quality, as well as offering opportunities for free-response evaluation. Each evaluation has specific objectives associated with the course. Students are not asked to reveal any parts of their identity; all course evaluations are confidential. After answering general background information, the student is asked to address questions regarding the instructor and the course: was the instructor well prepared, did the course materials fit the course topic,, etc. To answer each question, students choose between five options ranging from "strongly agree," "neutral," to "strongly disagree." To maintain a neutral environment, course instructors are not allowed in the room while students complete the evaluations. The content on the evaluations is developed by the Academic Senate Faculty Affairs Committee and approved by the Academic Senate as a whole. The deployment method is handled by the Institutional Planning & Analysis committee. Evaluations are generated based on items that have been used in other institutions for many years. According to'Marie Thomas, the Faculty Affairs Committee chai, and Mary Elizabeth Stivers, assistant vice president for Academic Resources, a Faculty Affairs subcommittee works to put the evaluation forms together based on extensive research. The University Retention, Tenure and Promotion policy addresses the Use of the evalua- THE PRIDE agreement, "written student questionnaire evaluations shall be required for all faculty unit employees who teach.

Carl Hanson, member of the Green Team, a division that operates out of Facility Services, attributes the school's success to the Blue Team's commitment to excellence, in addition to the large amounts of cardboard collected during new campus construction and renovations. "We are the cardboard kings," said Hanson. "The Markstein Hall opening produced a lot of cardboard, which we were able to capture and recycle." RecycleMania is a ten week friendly competition created to increase awareness on the need to reduce all waste including trash and recyclables. The goal is to acknowledge the institution that was able to "collect the largest amount of recyclables, the least amount of trash and have the highest recycling rate," according to the rules at recyclemaniacs. org. The official "Thank You Day Event" and presentation of the new trophy is scheduled for the month of September to applaud and recognize the campus' hard work and continual commitment. "We would like to thank those who contributed to this wonderful victory by Reducing, Reusing and R ecycling... and a special thanks to the people who made that extra effort in their own areas to help capture and claim all of those recyclables," said the Cal State San Marcos Blue Team. "I expect the competition to get bigger and bigger with every year," said Hanson. As this event grows in popularity, Cal State San Marcos will have to do even better to defend its title. "There is always room for improvement," said Hanson. "Ultimately, our dream is to produce zero waste! We need to improve campus communication and student involvement to create a culture that when you step on campus, you just know to recycle." Grand Master Champion trophy made from recycled material.

Weir's presentation then went into a series of graphic photos of numerous Palestinian men and women killed by Israeli soldiers during the "recent conflict." The slides provided when and where on their bodies the Palestinians were shot, but no further information was offered. Later in the evening, when Weir was questioned as to the circumstances of these deaths, she still gave no explanation as to the circumstances. The photos went on to show a number of children injured and killed by I sraelis, m ost o f w hich w ith m e a D ove pnotograpn reatures tne city or Khan Yunis, in central Baza, in February 2001. "Since then, n o e xplanation a t a ll t o t he the area has been even more destroyed," said Weir. "In the past few weeks, Israel has sent over 2,300 c ircumstance. T he m ost t hat artillery shells and 34 missies into Gaza," according to Weir: was offered by Weir was that a few of the children were throwing rocks. When again pressed by questioning as to any provocation of these deaths or perhaps what it was the boys were throwing rocks at, Weir again implied no provocation or reason for the actions of the Israeli's military members. Weir then transitioned into her brief history of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and the conflict surrounding the area. Her history excluded biblical history of the region; instead, her account of the region began with the relinquishing of control of the region by England to the United Nations. The United Nations then decided, after World War II, to give what is today Israel to the Jewish people. According to Weir, the current tensions and violence in the region resulted from the "unfair" division of the land in 1948, granting 55 percent of the region to the Jewish people and 45 percent to the indigenous Arab people. Her historical account continued into what she said the Israelis refer to as, "the war of independence"; historically, this war is referred to as the Six Day War. Weir's account of the Six Day War amounted to what she called the Israeli's 'Pearl Harbor-like' attack on the United States in 1967, when the Israeli "brutally attacked the USS Liberty for relentless hours killing 34 American servicemen and injuring 172 others." Weir said, it was during this attack when Israel took Gaza and the West Bank and initiated the current conflict. Weir then proceeded to show slides and describe her 2001 trip to the region, Photo courtesy of Alison Weir from "If Americans Knew.Org" where she toured the area as a freelance reporter. Her slide show featured many photographs of her trip to the West Bank. Once the locals discovered Weir was a journalist, she said the townspeople "flocked" to her, wanting to show her the damage to their homes from Israeli bullets and bombs. The homes, depicted by the pictures Weir took, showed shells of what were once homes and apartment buildings, as well as leveled fields and farm land, with border walls in the background.^ When questioned as to the circumstances surrounding the pictures she displayed, Weir denied any wrong doing by the Palestinians to provoke these actions by the Israelis. Weir then went on to describe a common scenario where Israelis drive their tanks and their fully outfitted soldiers anywhere to assault the Palestinian people and their homes, "intentionally creating poverty" and "intentionally executing children." Weir points out that the United States is currently giving "$10 million per day in aid to Israel." On the contrary, her website suggests that $15,139,178 per day is given in aid. Weir said that, "we (Americans) helped create this conflict through our aid," contributing to the violence. Weir was asked what circumstances drove the Israelis to undertake these actions. Weir insisted that after conversing with and among the Palestinians, she did not see, and was not ever aware of, any provocation on behalf of the Palestinians. When asked about her views on the Pal- estinian group, Hamas, Weir responded saying that Hamas was primarily a "social service group," working within the communities. Weir said "Hamas is seen as a reform party." She claimed that the creation of Hamas was the result of the people "being killed and starved under the Fatah government and the corruption of Arafat and his call for an equal secretarial democratic state." Weir claimed "that Hamas was responsible for holding a recent truce for a year." When asked about the means by which Hamas wages war, Weir immediately started to justify suicide bombings by explaining that, "without planes, attack choppers or tanks, [suicide bombing] is the only means of delivering a bomb that the Hamas has." Responding to the question about the locations for where Hamas delivers their attacks, Weir said "Soldiers eat in restaurants and market places," stating that it's the military that Hamas is attacking in these public places, not the Israelis citizens. Weir began to tell of her time spent in Israel and related it to why Hamas would attack public buses. "When I would take the public bus in Israel, I would get on to see two or three soldiers already on board; by the time we got to the end of the line, several others had gotten onboard." The above viewpoints are intended to represent only the view points of the speaker, and her affiliate organizations.

In addition to such things that might impress or perhaps intimidate, we spoke of the importance of bringing in a workplace from all walks of life. "It's critical to have diversity in the workplace . .. we already have 50/50 male/ female, but what we really target is people who are passionate about believing in what long term care can do. Background has very little impact on what we're looking for; we love diversity because we're looking to reach everyone, because everyone deals with aging." The conversation continued, and Mr. Stepanek discussed how good it was for businesses to work from the standpoint of a more needs-based than cutthroat, monopolizing market. "As an industry we need to work together . .. not fight each other, because that doesn't help anybody; it hurts consumers' confidence, it hurts the industry, and is not solving the need." He then pointed to the auto industry, and how car lots never used to be 'auto malls' when they saw each other as competition, but now see the advantages of 'one stop shopping.' As many other prospective employees would be asked that day, he wanted to know not only what skills would be brought to the table, but 'why do you want to work in this field?' •> The Future Teacher Summer Institute provides at least $900 in fellowship to each participant toward die cost of tuition ($951).

The signs posted every few feet around lots X, Y and Z warning drivers not to spin their tires for fear of damaging other cars with a spray of rocks, do little to help the negative feelings of students about the dirt lots. According to the Physical Planning office, the makeshift lots are also located on an area of campus designated for use as sports fields. While the lots are not in immediate risk of disappearing, Mr. Williams concedes that they may u nexpectedly be removed if funding for the sports fields is a ppropriated or donated. Even if that were to happen, though, according to the predictions of Parking Services, there should be enough parking for students. Many students weary of hiking uphill through the elements from lots X, Y and Z to their classes don't think the new F lot can come soon enough. One student, Eric Fiebrantz, Communications 2006, said it would be "great", citing the shorter walk to class and not having to wash his car as often as two clear benefits. In regards to the F lot and eventual construction of the parking structure, he added, "...too bad I'll be graduated before any of it's done".

This was my reaction when I visited the website deathclock. com which revealed I was going to die Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2063. To not be intrigued by a title that reads, "Death Clock: the internet's friendly reminder that time is slipping away.,." you'd have to have no pulse. The website asks for seven things: the day, month, and year of birth, sex, mode (which is basically asking if you're pessimistic), and BMI (if you don't know yours it helps you calculate it). With these seven things Death Clock calculates how much longer you have to live. As morbid or absurd as it sounds, this site has been visited more than 100,000 times since its apparent inception early in the century. Sidebar links include f un archives like "Obituary" where the curious can view the departure time of celebrities like Britney Spear's, who isn't scheduled till February 2061 at eighty-one years old; I'm sure she'll be missed. Then there's "Your Will" leading to FAQ's about the website, "The Mortuary" as a kind of Death Clock store for t-shirts, screensavers, as well as polls and quote listings. "The Dead Letter Office" is where some of the nastier (and nicer) e-mails are posted. The e-mails sent to the creator of the Death Clock website go as far as accusing the creator of pretending to play God, to accusing them of leaving others in serious distress, awaiting their day (or other loved ones day) of doom.

Photos by Michelle Herald / The Pride NORTH COUNTY'S LARGEST PREMIER TANNING SUPER SALONS �Fall in love with the Big Apple BY DAVID GATLEY Pride Staff Writer Over Spring Break I was fortunate enough to spend five days in Manhattan in what turned out to be, by far, the best time of my life. With a handful of my best friends, a bunch of wiom live in New York, I explored and absorbed New York beyond my wildest imaginations. With incredible pub and bar scenes, incomparably delicious Jewish delis, the world's best pizza, buildings the size of mountains, themed restaurants that defy explanation, subway systems that span to eternity, and people that are as friendly as family, the city of New York has never been more inviting. Staying for free in the Upper West Side definitely didn't hurt matters much. In fact, my buddy's shoebox of an apartment had a balcony with access to the roof, which was definitely the sweetest part of my entire trip. While nursing hangovers and waiting for nightfall, I was free to roam the roof tops like Spiderman, watching over my temporary home from far above the streets. The Upper West Side is geographically located, well above the majority of the city and on the western side of the island. However, once you step outside your buildings m jgteraKragM WäMtiBI* ; •8 m B IS WÊÊÊKiéMÈi wmm:' * jflte' ^ w « • B ili direction is lost. Having a native to guide you on your way is definitely a must. Every night in New York was unbelievable. I found myself mesmerized by the amount of young college students every where I went. Unlike San Diego's sparse hot spots like PB and Downtown, practically every street in Manhattan is going crazy every night of the week all nightlong. I'm not sure because almost every residence is smaller than a closet, driving people outside for their own sanity, or maybe it's because there are more people in this city than most states' entire population, but it seems like the entire community goes out every night to meet one another in some crazy ongoing party where everyone is invited. When you're not in the mood for a night of drunken debauchery (which was a rare m • filled with incredible places to go, see, and experience. Opting to spend a little more money for dinner, we decided to go to a themed restaurant called Ninja. All we had heard of the place was something along the lines of real ninjas serving sushi. I mean, how can you go wrong, ninjas, sushi, sharp knives, and sake; rnost definitely ingredients for a good time. Man, we underestimated the overall experience that restaurant would offer. The restaurant itself could serve as an entire article, but I'll suffice to say that secret passageways, crazy ninja attacks, secret Japanese villages, and ninja magic await to please all of your senses in a most unforgettable evening. The craziest part of New York has to be that no matter how much time you spend there, no matter how long you live there, you will never discover all that the city has to offer, restaurants like Ninja are tucked away everywhere in the city. And in case the city is too middle of it lies Central Park, quite possibly our nation's greatest city planned park, allows a temporary escape for the cement weary. Spanning grassy hills, open air concert venues, serene lakes and massive oak trees replace the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps. Maybe it's the stark contrast of the skyscraper skyline juxtaposed with the natural landscape of the forest, but the park serves to balance out a city of excess. I could go on forever conveying to you how enamored with the city I am, but even then I wouldn't come close to relaying the experience. If you do one crazy thing Photos by David Gatley / The Pride �What does the Day of Silence mean to me? Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA, I know first hand what silence meant to me. I'm from the birthplace of the Christian Coalition and in my backyard were Pat Robertson and the 700 Club! I was teased, picked on, bullied, beat up, harassed, and made to feel insignificant. Religious groups and individuals always used their teachings to justify their intolerance of me. Growing up Catholic, this caused me a great deal of pain and caused me to leave our family's church. I was no longer welcome. How can this happen? If I tried to ask questions or explain my perspective, it was assumed I must have a personal agenda or was trying to "recruit" new members. I was quieted! I was relegated to the fringes. If I do not occupy your space, you do not have to listen to me. I was silenced! In honor of those who have been silenced, some of us will take an entire day to show our support by remaining silent ourselves. Critics say that this isn't educational and it serves no purpose. However, I think it is educational. I have faith that this act of silence can and will jumpstart conversation. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Even though we cannot see it, I believe there is a desire to find that mutual respect. We will onlyfindit by talking - and listening - to each other. What is the Day of Silence®? Now in its tenth year, the Day of Silence, a project of GLSEN® or the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Educa- tion Network in collaboration with the United States Student Association (USSA), is a student-led day of action where those who support making anti-LGBT bullying and harassment unacceptable in schools participate in events to recognize and protest the discrimination and harassment—in effect, the silencing—experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students and their allies. The Day of Silence® is an annual opportunity for students to tell their truths about anti-LGBT bullying, violence and harassment. A GLSEN® commissioned survey, From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in America conducted by Harris Interactive, found that sexual orientation and gender expression are among the top three reasons teens report that students are harassed at their schools. GLSEN's 2003 National School Climate Survey found that 4 out of 5 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30% report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for their personal safety. The LGBTA will participate in the 10th Annual Day of Silence event, Wednesday April 26th. Come join us - in silence - to show your support for those who have been silenced against their will. We will meet at 12:00 noon in front of the Kellogg Library. If you would like to participate in this event feel free to stop by and receive a "Silence Card" to show your support. Jay Franklin E xercise in G ender N ormality V iolation I am a white male, six feet tall and a solid 165 pounds. I'm also a Women's Studies and Service Sector Management Major. Recently I arrived at school wearing a tight purple skirt, a poncho and carrying a red purse. Walking across campus, a guy yelled, "Sick!", The reason may be that "real men" are socialized to define themselves by what they are not (women or homosexuals). By distancing themselves from anything considered female or homosexual men can signify that they are in fact masculine. Crying out is useful as it alerts others that one is not to be identified as feminine or homosexual and in fact must be a "real man". Today on campus a man was carrying a pitchfork. Pitchforks are infinitely more dangerous than skirts, yet it hardly raised an eyebrow. What is it about a skirt that provokes such a reaction? If you're wondering why I would come to school dressed as I did, it was an exercise in violating gender norms. Gender norms or "gender scripts" are ideas associated with being either female or male. They are per formative behaviors. By per formative, I mean they are a social constructed script, "a part one plays", when in the presence of others. By following the script other people know how to react; we have all been socialized to WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER? The Perfect Summer Job!

We all recognize gender stereotypes. For example, if I say "nurse" what gender image comes to mind? If I say "President", what gender image comes to mind? Judith Butler, who is considered to be the creator of modern 'queer theory' and an expert on gender, argues that nothing about one's gender isfixed.If this is true, then our notions of what is female and male are not innate. Considering that Western notions of gender are not universal, Butler's point seems a valid one. Margaret Mead, author of Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, studies three separate cultures and suggests that which we call feminine and masculine are not linked to biological sex, but rather to social conditioning. In Western society the first question we tend to ask of a newborn babe is, "Is it a girl or a boy?". Based on the child's biological sex, it will be assigned a socially constructed gender. The child's gender will then determine where the child works, how much the child earns, and how the child is viewed and treated by society. Gender seems to be odd criteria to base all of this on especially if gender is not an innate characteristic. If we can accept that gender stereotypes are socially constructed and not universal or innate, then it is possible to change our notions of female and male. It is possible to do away with the binary that woman and men are opposites. I recommend we challenge the notion that women like pink, are submissive and demure /and men like blue, are aggressive and authoritative. I recommend this because my experience of wearing a dress to school made me think about how a woman might feel when she goes for a job interview for a position of authority mat has traditionally been viewed a male position. I do not think anyone would yell remarks at her backside, but I think she may be concerned that people will shake their heads and say, no that doesn'tfitin our narrow view of female / male. We could learn from cultures that do not subscribe to Western notions of female/male. Blurring the gender lines would result in more women in leadership positions and more men being able to express emotion and vulnerability. I think I'm not alone in my thinking, a woman dressed in a smart looking business suit gave me —in my dress— - a knowing smile. Maybe she understood that breaking down gender stereotypes is empowering to everyone. Maybe she was even a little bit flattered, after all mimicry is the most sincere form offlattery.-Terrance Jaffer �THE PRIDE SPORTS Tuesday; April 18, 2006 Jock Talk With Josh: NFL Draft Jimmy Williams.

Moss is the question mark of the wide receiver class. He kind of reminds me of Steve Smith from the Carolina Panthers. Moss is small, but has explosive speed. He could, however, also be severely undersized and be a bust in the NFL. If the Chargers somehow found a way to move up in the draft, look for them to take offensive tackle Winston Justice from USC. They brought Justice in to talk with him, but he is expected to be a top 15 pick after impressive draft workouts. The Chargers would go this route, because they need to protect their young quarterback, Phillip Rivers. The quarterback will definitely go through some growing pains, and several offensive linemen always seem to go down, so having a young guy like Justice would only help. What could also affect their draft outlook is that the Chargers are supposedly looking' to trade linebacker Donnie Edwards, for a draft pick, most likely. If Edwards goes, then the Chargers have a linebacker spot to fill and could possibly have another pick in the first or second round. After A.J. Hawk, Ernie Sims from Florida State is the next rated linebacker. I don't like him, however, because he is under sized. Chad Greenway from Iowa is rated next, but he really isn't that strong, even though he does have nice size. I would love to see Bobby Carpenter from Ohio State get picked by the Chargers. He is underrated because his college teammate, Hawk, got a lot of the attention in school. Carpenter reminds me of Shawne Merriman from last season, I was very high on Merriman last season because he could play defensive end and linebacker in college and was also overlooked. Carpenter fits that exact mold and could be a steal in the late first round if the Chargers could pick up another pick. Whatever the Chargers do, I just hope they don't draft another Ryan Leaf.

Could you use some help? Perhaps The Worst-Case Survival Handbook: Dating And Sex by Piven, Borgenicht, and Worick is for you. Have you ever wondered how to tell if your date is an axe murderer? A con artist? Or even (gasp) married? This is the book for you! In it you will find definitive hints and helps to determine these things, and so much more! In the first section, called Defensive Dating, there is even a section on how to determine the gender of your date (in case it is in question). Full of many helpful hints, like "How To Deal With A Date Who Moves Too Fast" (to stop unwanted kisses, claim you have a cold, or merely cough or sneeze in their face); to "How To Fend Off A Pickup Artist" (Do not accept drinks, or cause an "accident" by inadvertently knocking glasses, empty or full, into their lap when you turn back to face them). But always remember to apologize (insincerely). In "How To Escape From A Bad Date", tips range from having a friend call you with news of a family "emergency" to advice on how to slip away unnoticed, complete with quick disguise ideas you can implement in the restroom until you can make your escape. This includes addition or subtraction of clothing, cosmetics, accessories, even changes in hairstyle and posture. Even borrowing an apron from the hired help can be useful in a truly desperate situation. This chapter also contains instructions and techniques for breaking and escaping through the bathroom window (Use the wastebasket, toilet plunger, or paper towel dispenser to break the glass, and then use your jacket or sweater to remove the shards until you can escape). In "How to Survive If You Have Excessive Gas", tips range from limiting the type and amount of food you eat with gas-forming food identified, as well as specific postures you can assume to allow the gas to escape "Kneel on the floor, bend forward, and stretch your arms out in front of you. Keep your buttocks high in the air..." in the privacy of the restroom, of course. In "How To Survive If Your Credit Card Is Declined" in a restaurant, advice ranges from offering collateral or providing references, to the "Dine and Dash". In a step by step process, the dine and dash option is outlined: be prepared to 1.Accept the consequences (never going back again). 2. Tell your date the plan. 2. Plan your route of escape. 3. Wait until the staff is busy. 4. Pretend to pay the bill with cash. 5. Walk confidently out the door. 6. As soon as you are outside, run. 7. If you are being followed, do not go directly to your car. Of course stiffing a restaurant is illegal. You can arrange to pay the restaurant through a third party, but it is probably not a good idea to go back yourself. In "H ow To Determine If Your Date Is Married", (always a good idea) the warning signs to look for are: a pale band of flesh around the left ring finger, not being able to get their "home phone number, refusals to allow any public displays of affection, tell-tale signs left in their car like someone else's cosmetics, pacifiers, toys, etc. Inversely, these are things to avoid in "How To Have An Affair And Not Get Caught", as well as how to organize a series of convincing alibis and witnesses to help explain your absences. Of course, if you always pay in cash you leave no paper trail, and keeping a change of clothes in your car eliminates laundry mysteries such as lipstick stains and strange cologne smells which could give you away. Even topics such as how to fake an orgasm, remove difficult clothing, have sex in small spaces (like elevators and airplanes) are addressed. Difficult issues like how to survive waking up next to someone who's name you don't remember and how to properly stop a wedding are enumerated and explained. In the back there is also a helpful appendix of bad pick-up lines to avoid, and even a basic draft of the "It's not you, it's me" break-up letter, with appropriate modifiers to fit each relationship. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is a series that always contains loads of useful information from professionals in their field, and they are a lot of fun to read.

Before the days of "Laguna Beach", Gateley was the director of development at the Lifetime Channel and worked on the biography show "Intimate Portrait." "Power Girls" aired in March, 2005, and focused on a New York based public relations firm owned by Lizzi Grubman and her four interns. There were only six epi- sodes, but they made quite an impact and brought a lot of attention to the world of public relations. Laguna Beach aired in September of 2004 and was an instant hit. According to the nytimes.com, when Gateley pitched the show "Laguna Beach", she used the 1989 movie "Heathers" as her inspiration. When asked if it would be possible to find an alpha clique of friends and have them all be interesting and beautiful; Gateley responded, "They're a dime a dozen in Southern California; they're everywhere," according to the nytimes.com. The newest show that just debuted in March 2006 follows ten professional models living together in an apartment complex in the heart of South Beach as they make their way in the world of competitive modeling. "The Hills" is set to air this year in a spin off of "Laguna Beach," but only focuses on one character, Lauren "LC" Conrad, as she moves on with life to L.A where she goes to fashion school and interns for Teen Vogue. The shows claim to be reality, but the stories told are far from average. The shows have been criticized for being scripted, but according to Anwsers.com, the show is filmed with multiple cameras allowing the show to be edited as a traditional narrative rather than a documentary with confessionals, like seen in the "Real World". Liz Gateley was quoted saying on PerezHilton.com that "there are times when something big goes down the night before and we'll ask,'can you wait until the cameras are there to talk about it?"' They may be real people in somewhat real situations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a little help from editing to make for good T.V. Next time you're at home watching your favorite reality show, don't forget that there is a story to be told and the editors make it happen.

Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride HAS SLEVINS' LUCK RUN OUT? BY PIYAMAS SABLAN Pride Staff Writer "Lucky Number Slevin", directed by Paul McGuigan, is a new take on the classic theme of revenge, which has weaved its thread through the plot lines of numerous movies. Someone gets shot within minutes, of the opening scene, giving the audience a peek at the action, guns, and gore to follow. Bruce Willis plays an assassin named Mr. Goodkat and is a necessary evil in the lives of the unlawful abiding head honchos of the criminal underworld. Willis plays his usual unemotional tough guy character, firing one-liners throughout the movie. Trailers of the movie might lead some to believe that Willis plays the leading role in the movie, but the main character, named Slevin, is actually played by Josh Hartnett. Slevin bobs and weaves through a series of unlucky circumstances brought about by the two main criminal bosses in New York, who have mistaken his identity for that of his friend, Nick Fisher. The main bosses are The Boss, played by Morgan Freeman, and Shlomo, aka The Rabbi, played by Befi Kingsley. Unfortunately for Slevin, the bosses ddn't believe and don't care that he's not Nick. Slevin is forced to repay the financial debt Nick has incurred on the bosses' bookies' financial records. There is a surprise plot twist towards the end of the movie, which might be deemed predictable by some avid moviegoers. Slevin's self described "inability to worry" sometimes comes across the silver screen as arrogance. Hartnett fans may be swayed to watch the movie for pure visual enjoyment watching Hartnett traipse around New York in nothing but a towel for a good portion of the first half. The dialog was a bit forced, and it seemed like there was more than the necessary amount of incessant banter and cryptic dialog between characters. A weak attempt at romance is thrust into the storyline with the introduction of Lindsey played by Lucy Liu. Lindsey is quirky, but her child-like awe and acceptance of Slevin's ties to the criminal world is borderline irritating. There was no chemistry between Liu and Hartnett, so their characters looked forced into romance. The storyline jumps around from the past to the future and from here to there, so I don't recommend missing a scene to relieve your bladder unless you don't mind being discombobulated upon your return. Overall, "Lucky Number Slevin" is a visually stimulating movie for those who appreciate hitman induced murder scenes and for those who aren't looking for an emotional roller coaster ride.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Books for more than 22 professors did not arrive to the University bookstore before the end of the first week. Of the 'Alert' cards marking these particular empty spaces, some explained that these titles were not available due to late order, while others read that this was due to late instructor order. Whether or not there was an intended difference between these two labels remains to be seen. In trying to explain the issue, Professor Quinney speculated that "The bookstore gets hit really hard all at once with orders from faculty. Perhaps they do not yet have a sufficiently efficient system in order to handle BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Police are working to combat the limits on department expansion by working to increase campus involvement within their department. One such method is the inclusion of the officers formerly assigned to Parking Services while also internally training the campus Community Service Officers. Effective this semester, the Community Service Officer staff has increased to 12, which therefore allows two officers on duty at all times. "Because the parking officers are responsible for enforcing vehicle code laws and regulations, they now answer to University Police," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard. Woodard also commented on the benefits of including these officers BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN stating, "By combining the offi- Pride Staff Writer cers in these departments with our own, campus patrol power is Cal State San Marcos' Green increased."

Consistently, professors said that they inform their students of f uture reading lists as soon as possible so that they can purchase books online. Professor Charles, however, expressed that he was "actually quite sympathetic to the plight of bookstores in this age of Amazon. I realize this isn't true of the sciences, but for history books that are not survey textbooks (and even for some books that are) the greater volume and the lack of "bricks and mortar" allows Amazon to undercut the bookstore price considerably, even on used books."

The building will provide the necessities including a fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and a floor for students to sleep on. Trip cost is $200 per student and, according to the ASI Activities Coordinator, Sara Gallegos, fundraising opportunities will be available for students in the hopes of covering all expenses. Interested students need to apply by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and submit an initial deposit of $50. Applications are available in the ASI business office, the Student A ffairs office, or on the ASI webpage at www.csusm.edu/ASI. If students have problems making the down payment by Jan. 31, they can arrange -special payment options with Gallegos. The final balance of $150 will be due March 10. At this time, ASI can only offer the trip to CSUSM students, faculty and staff. Participants are not required to have prior skills, but should come willing to take part in the project enthusiastically. The participants are expected to contribute to the planning of the trip, which involves attending biweekly meetings and fundraising. Outside of working on homes, the coordinators of the trip want to plan other f un activities such as sightseeing in the local areas. The idea behind this trip is to break away f rom the hazardous traditions of spring break to create a safe, f un environment for students to do something constructive. This explains the big rules: no drugs, alcohol or gambling during the trip. Some benefits to choosing Alternative Spring Break over the traditional Spring Break include: meeting new people, learning new skills, immersing yourself in the reality of hardship, working with a highly regarded non-profit organization, building your resume, partaking in change, and creating a positive, lasting memory. "It is hard to put in words the feeling that you get when you take yourself out of your comfort zone and learn things about yourself, and what your abilities are," mentioned Gallegos. Students looking for something more meaningful to do with their time off should look no further than Alternative Spring Break where space is still limited.

Cal State San Marcos provides students, faculty and staff with many available options to contribute to a 'greener' campus and environment. Recycling bins can be found next to almost every exterior trash can and in the hallways of many high-traffic buildings. From scribbled-on pages to plastic coffee cups to coffee grinds, the Green Team enthusiastically encourages everyone to recycle. To best help eliminate the need for recycling, Cougars can purchase reusable cups, available in the University Store and in The Dome, which come with a complimentary drink. Reducing is also a recommended option. Habits such as printing on both sides of a paper and using Tupperware instead of Ziploc are highly recommended. While recycling is mandated in California's public institutions, it's hard to understand how highly the honor and prestige is in winning the competition. "This is awfully big on the east coast. We didn't really know how big this was. It has national resonance. We've been put on the map, in a positive way/' mentioned Hanson about Cal State San Marcos' win last year. "The competition is only going t6 get bigger and bigger and bigger." The slogan is: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling should be considered the last option as with this year's new focus, Cal State San Marcos has been challenged to reduce its overall campus-wide amount of both trash and recyclables.

Across the Globe, and Women as Global Business Leaders." Women's Studies has approximately 30 students participating in the major program, with additional students participating in the minor program and at least 500 students enrolling in various courses to satisfy upper and lower division requirements. Equipped with three tenure professors and an average of five to seven lecturers, the department also hopes to expand its staff to accommodate the new coursework and help draw in students by offering more consecutive classes. "The task force seems interested in our transformation and direction of the department. The key message we have received f rom them has been to expand our core offerings," said Allison, "by relying less of sociology, psychology and other majors to support the degree program by sharing courses. We will be working on strengthening our internal capabilities." If this proposal for Gender and Sexuality Studies is approved, by fall 2007 students will have more courses to choose from that involve contemporary issues with a globalfocus.

We have been on the education grind now for at least four years straight, accustomed to writing papers, group work, lectures, and of course that mile walk we must endure to get to our first class. Every semester we go through these rituals in hope of a promising career that will propel us into the next step of our young adult lives. Undoubtedly some of us already have a career plan for the next five years after college, however, most still answer Grandma's notorious Christmas dinner question: "So what are you going to do when you get out of school?" with a solid "I'm not sure yet." Many then think to themselves and decide that whatever comes along is supposed to, justifying it as a matter of fate. Maybe it was fate that helped me find a person who has survived the CSUSM experience and is now very productive in her new career. Casey Raymond graduated in 2003, but started at a junior college near her home in Rancho Cucamonga just to fulfill her general requirements. It was not until she took a Sociology course there that she became interested in it for her major. "I wanted to learn about society and the people in it," she reflects. Her next step in completing her general Ed was to find a Cal State that would not only be good for her major, but would also fit her per- sonal needs as well. So, as most of us would do, she went to the internet for answers. Consequently she found that Cal Sate San Marcos was rated third among the top five schools for Sociology. She also relished in the fact that it was one of the newest Cal States and was still very close to the beach. Unlike a growing number of students, it took Casey only a total of four years to graduate. "I took more than a full load each semester, I took a summer school course, and I really like school, it was just easy for me." In addition to her maintaining a full load she also worked for Ralph's Grocery Store as a cashier. And yes, she did endure the strike.

Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Party. No Sleep. Sound familiar? This was and is my life. I may be new here to the CSUSM campus, but attending different colleges and universities is nothing new to me. I'm 25 years old, graduated high school in 1998, and am literally working on my "10 yr. Bachelor's Degree". I grew up in San Diego, the oldest of three children. Although others may have said I had strict parents, to me I had "abnormally" strict parents. If homework was due at the end of the week, my parents made sure that it was completed the same day I received the assignment. I was not allowed to talk and gossip on the phone like most kids did, I wasn't even allowed to know any boys, let alone talk to them! Not only did homework have to be done before I was allowed to watch TV, but also all household chores. Take out the trash. Fold the laundry. Clean my room. Wash the dishes. It was unbearable! Naturally, as soon as I graduated high school, I took the first chance I got to get out of my parents, grip. I fled to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Why Utah of all places? Well I was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. My parents did everything they could to talk me into staying in San Diego and attending Mesa College, but I was determined to get away and see what was out there. Having sent in my acceptance to BYU at the very last minute, I was not able to get into the dorms there, so as a 17 year old freshman, I shared a three bedroom apartment with five other girls. I was thrown into my own version of MTV's Real World. Now that I was free, f ree as a bird, I went out of control. I had What if no limits, no boundaries, no one telling me what to do. It was great!! Or so I thought. Do you know how much partying they do in Utah?! Well* I was always out clubbing, shooting pool, going to house parties, and whatever else I could do, I did. Of course I never showed up to my morning classes, and my grades slipped. And yet, as stubborn and hard headed as I was, I actually started to miss my family and friends in San Diego. My parents convinced me to move back a fter j ust one year at BYU. I figured they were right; I had no clue what I wanted to major in, I was living off student loans, I was 18 and as lost and confused as ever. They had reeled me in with the line, "Come home where it's f ree, take the time to find what it is you want to do, then go back up there with a plan." I never went back. You can't give a kid candy, then take it away and expect everything to be ok. My f reedom was my candy, and the minute I moved back home, the candy was snatched right out of my fingers. I had a curfew, I was not allowed on the phone a fter 9pm, I was not allowed out of the house unless my parents knew and met who I was going out with. It was back to the jailhouse for me! I soon obtained a j ob and attended Mesa College. I was a part time bank teller, part time college student, but also still a part time partygoer. I quickly became a shame to my parents as I spent several years bouncing around the San Diego County College District. Miramar, City, Mesa, I've almost attended them all. In the midst of this, I thought that I had to obtain my freedom back, so I moved out and got a roommate. Life was soon a lot harder than I had expected it to be. But as hard headed as I am, I was not going back to that jailhouse even though the pressure was on nice and strong. My younger brother was doing well at San Diego State University, and somehow, I made my own way into SDSU. I'm I hated math and science, and I loved to talk and write, so majoring in Communication j ust came naturally for me. At this point, I was working two part time jobs j ust to pay the rent, and it was safe to guess that my grades at SDSU were starting to slip. In fact, they slipped to the point that I found myself on academic probation, then disqualified. This was a cold hard slap in the face. I was then determined to get back into school and do it right. SDSU would only take me back in a fter a period of time, and under certain criteria that I thought was a bit ridiculous, so I explored my options. There were a few people I knew who had attended and graduated f rom Cal State San Marcos, and offered high recommendations. Some said it was a smaller campus, less crowded. Others have said it's j ust the atmosphere that's better. All have warned me about the stairs, calling it CSU Stair Master! For the week that I've been here I have noticed that the campus is beautiful. The grounds are kept nice and clean, and parking is not nearly as bad as it is at SDSU. The people here at CSUSM seem a lot more down to earth and easy to talk to. I 'm not sure what it is about this place, but I 'm confident that this will be my last stop at a college or university. In college, I leaped at a chance to get a tutor to help me pass my horrid math classes to get on with my life. My problem is I 'm good at being enveloped in the now. At seventeen I felt old and that life was flashing uncontrollably before my eyes. Once through junior high, every following year seemed to gather speed. I didn't realize as much as I do now that high school was truly only a stepping stone for the next phases of life. No time slips by as quickly as the college years. I have seen this school expand and change since I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2002. I can still distinctly remember freshman year in which any student could find parking i athe first lot without waiting for another person to leave (and I 'm talking about prime, first row parking!). I picture the tiny old library and how I had to carry my track sports bag with me all day because I carpooled to a school that didn't yet have a field house f ull of lockers. My first friendships were formed with people on the track team my first year, and I remember how most of them didn't return my second year.

Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela are left. I will start by eliminating Puerto Rico because I don't think they can get past Cuba which will cause them to get the No. 2 seed from that pool. However, they do have a shot. Their offense consists of Carlos Beltran, Juan Gonzalez, Ruben Sierra, Bernie Williams, Jose Cruz Jr., Felipe Lopez, Carlos Delgado and Jose Vidro. Without a doubt, they have the greatest catching crew in the tournament with Javy Lopez, Ivan Rodriguez, Bengie Molina and Yadier Molina. They are also managed by one of the best managers in the tournament in Jose Oquendo. Say Adios to Mexico because they're in the same pool as the United States and Canada which means Mexico might not even get past pool play. They do have a few nice players like Nomar Garciaparra, Erubiel Durazo, Jorge Cantu, and Adrian Gonzalez! However, that is not enough fire power to make up for weak pitching that only has Oliver Perez, Esteban Loaiza and Rodrigo Lopez worth mentioning.

Nü oliar i ' m l o v i n ' it �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Parking is NOT easy when you are a disabled student My first week back to school involved abdominal surgery and a special medical parking permit at Cal State San Marcos. I am a disabled student. My disease requires that I have surgery about every year or so, depending on the severity of my symptoms. This past week was the third surgery I have endured while attending CSUSM. Since I still had two weeks left to recover once spring semester started, I was eligible for a temporary medical permit so that I could park in what most students call The Dome parking lot. This sounds great. As anyone who attends CSUSM would know, walking up Craven Rd. with your backpack wouldn't work out after having abdominal surgery. So, here is the problem. The first day of school I arrived at 7:30 a.m. I arrived to find that the one medical permit spot on the CSUSM campus had already been taken. I spoke to someone in parking services to find a solution. I was told to "arrive earlier, or, get a ride to school." I was also told to move my car since I was not in the medical permit spot% I explained that I just had abdominal surgery, but the parking services still said I had to move my car. Why is it that, with a school of over 7,000 students, there is only one medical parking spot? There used t o be two. I knew from my past surgeries that it was difficult to get one of the two spots, but for some reason, parking took one of those spots away. I can't imagine how parking ser- vices could decide to do this. First of all, our campus is not very disabled student friendly. It is very difficult to get around when you are trying to heal, or dealing with the daily symptoms of your disability. If you are a student with a disability, or who has to have surgery, or even a student who has had some type of accident, it is not easy to get around. Why doesn't packing care about having enough medical permit spots to serve students with disabilities? The answer: If a student needs a medical/disabled parking pass for more than 14 days they can apply for a DMV permit which would give them a placard to park in handicap parking. This means anything less than two weeks and you are going to be one of the many disabled students fighting for that one spot. This may be because parking does not legally have to supply these spots; they have a choice; and here at CSUSM, they choose not to. Well, they choose to supply one. I find this deeply disheartening. In fact, it is completely ridiculous. community need to serve our disabled students to the best of our ability, students with longterm disabilities and short-term as well. We need more medical permit spots at Cal State San I found out in my last surgery Marcos! I am not asking for that I will probably never have to more parking spots, just a conhave another surgery for my dis- version, of regular student spots ease again, but I know that I am to medical spots that are close to not the only disabled student who campus and don't involve stairs. has struggled in the past to park I wonder how many disabled close to campus while recovering, students have stopped asking and I know many more will in the for medical permits when they future. I also know that many stu- needed them because of the difdents struggle with more serious ficulty they had in past experidisabilities than my own, and I ences. I wonder how many other can't imagine the frustration and students were told to move their car when it took every ounce of anger they must feel. I urge you to write letters and energy they had just to get there. send emails to parking services I wonder how many disabled demanding that we as a campus students called parking to ask Robbins Report By JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride In a speech last week, you said "I think the worst thing that can happen for decision-makers is to get a filtered point of view." Mr. President, we agree on something. I know that you're busy with all that Commander in Chief business, but if you have a moment I'd like to f urther contaminate your understanding of current events. According to the folks that repeat stuff for money, ydu would prefer a "diplomatic" solution to the almost nuclear (translated: nukular) standoff with Iran. While diplomacy is also my preference, I want to make sure that we both understand what the word doesn't mean. The word "diplomacy" derives from the Greek word "diploma", which describes something that has been folded in half. One can trace the effects of this original meaning all the way up to modern American diplomacy. I think it was a famous gay marriage activist who, during long distance calls to his suspicious Arab lover, advocated folding the entire world into two sides—one Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride made up of those who are with us, and another made up of those who are against us. I digress. Clarification #1: The fact that ''diploma" describes something that has been folded into two should not compel you (in preferring diplomacy) to treat the Middle East like a piece of paper with Operation Iraqi Freedom to the right of the fold and Operation Iranian Freedom to the left. Plus placing "evils" beside a fold rather than upon an axis might confuse people. In addition to being descriptive and potentially confusing, one might also consider the word "diplomacy" to be ominous. For instance, one can arrange its letters to spell words like Modi (which means wrath in Norse Mythology), P.L.O. (which is a terrorist organization according to Israel), and malo (which means bad in Spanish). Clarification #2: The sum of diplomacy doesn't have to equal the sum of its parts. I mean, one can arrange the letters in the name George Walker Bush to spell "war loser" and "AWOL shrub". Check it out.

Here's the gist: a noble knight, Tristan (James Franco), and soon to be Queen Isolde (Sophia Myles) are born into royalty for rival countries. The stars align and fate intervenes, bringing the two together in a chance meeting some twenty or so years later. The two secretly fall in love and are then torn apart in what becomes an epic struggle between loyalty to ones' family and true love. If this story sounds vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you have a pulse! It's been done over and over and over, each time hitting the same mark as Tristan and Isolde did; a sweetly shallow love story that we will all forget about when the next version comes out next year. The movie did, however, BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Hangovers.. the unpleasant side e ffect of knocking one too many back. As f un as a night of d rinking can be; no one likes the harsh reality a morning with hangover b rings. In fact the word "alone can cause one to feel nauseous. Fortunately, t here are some preventive steps t hat can be taken so as not to wake up with the dreaded hangover. Now, of course the obvious solution to preventing a hangover is not to d rink, but where's the f un in that? There are ways that one can still enjoy have its finer points and wasn't all together that unpleasant. If you promise not to tell anyone, part of me actually enjoyed the movie. Something about the cliché hope for true love conquering all is always intriguing. The moVie was filmed beautifully, and should be nominated for several awards accordingly. The lighting was masterfully captured and almost filled the romantic void between the actors. Moreover, the costumes and set designs were some of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. In every scene it seems every little detail had been thought out and organized to contribute to the greater picture. This is one of the first movies to capture the time period without exaggeration. The overall feel and mood of the movie definitely helped add to the love story, which needed all the help it could get. All the emotion for love that transcends all was there, but it felt strangely odd and out of an alcoholic beverage without s uffering for it. First o ff, i t's best to know what f actors can contribute to getting a hangover. One should never d rink while: on an empty stomach, lacking sleep, doing a physical activity or not d rinking enough water. Second, before drinking take a B vitamin complex, Better Nutrition says an active component actually has been shown to cut hangover symptoms in half. Third, d rink a glass of water before going to sleep, it helps preventing the symptoms that are caused by dehydration. Fourth, in the morning get plenty of v itamin Photo by Amanda Keeley / The Pride place. Nevertheless, if the girl the row over from me was evident of anything, this story should be good for at least a couple of tear jerking scenes. My advice for thé guys: be ready to shell out twenty bucks to take your girlfriend to a typical chick flick, and use this movie as leverage to take her to see Underworld Evolution. As for the girls, you more than likely know exactly how this movie will play out, and you won't be disappointed. You know, it's somewhat fitting that most movies about true love narrowly miss the mark. Despite their best efforts, it always seems evident that the two star-crossed lovers are after all acting for our enjoyment. Perhaps that's why we go back, time and time again, to watch this story unfold; to see if true love can actually be found. Or, maybe it's because it's the middle of January and there's nothing else to do. Either way, if you find yourself having to pick a romantic date movie, Tristan and Isolde should cater to the evening appropriately, and if you don't like it, don't worry, a new version will be out shortly with different actors who will undoubtedly find themselves lost in true love.

X IV NO. 6 Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus Student vouches for von Son's teaching credentials BY LILLIAN POZOS Pride Staff Writer A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28, following a MEChA meeting to discuss the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department. Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both students of CSUSM, were scheduled to hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was allegedly legally advised not to attend the open forum. The forum was held to discuss whether Carlos von Son, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature, was allegedly "racially discriminated" against through the alleged refusal of his tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son. Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if someone would balance his arguments. According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is allegedly accusing a female professor of sexual harassment and a male professor of unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM faculty have been subpoenaed, denying their ability to speak about von Son, said Yafiez. Yafiez explained that the administrations refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von Son not being a good teacher according to student course evaluations, he does not have enough published works and he does not do community work. The World Language department is focused on Spanish from Spain while von Son stresses Spanish from Latin America, said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez believes von Son shows Mexican litera^ ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of the material taught in the other Spanish classes.

Over 500 slices of complimentary pizza and drinks were handed out ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct. 6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be the second year our campus has provided activities in observance of this German tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon until 1 p.m.. "Participants will be provided free food and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.' Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill be among the event's entertainment. There has been much speculation from students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a sufficient "root beer keg" would be present so as to abide by dry campus policy.

The woman allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but the administration dropped her case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure. Yanez wants to know why the woman's testimony is so impor- tant to the administration now, when the case is closed. Yafiez has worked closely with von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a New York festival. Being a colleague of von Son's, Yafiez says he supports von Son's method of teaching but not his behavior. To explain the history of von Son's grievances, Yafiez said many female students have complained. He went on to say that many of the sexual harass- ment complaints about von Son have been mentioned on class evaluations. These are not formal complaints and are over looked, but they are written proof. "The denial of his tenure that he's not a good teacher . .. its bullshit," said Yanez. Von Son's CSUSM home page states that he has published five books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony in Mexican Literature." It also states his many community activities including include the fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration on, Oct. 30. According to the CSUSM Web site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an Assistant Professor at CSU San Marcos in the fall of 1997.

(800) 977-7633 — �Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections pushing to amend the California Constitution requiring written notification to the parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated, pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion on the minor. According to the Official Voter Information Guide, the initiative would mandate at least a 48-hour ertantne* Compte™ Wallow* Hope; sap Worry. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride You can pick up a voter registration form in front of Commons 207. waiting period after the attending physician has provided parental notification before terminating the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the law with thorough definitions, the most important of which is an abortion, defined by the proposed law as causing "death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born." The intent of the initiative is to provide parents or legal guardians the necessary information to help their daughters with any serious physical complications, emotional trauma or psychological side-effects that may result from the abortion. Proposition 73, which supporters advertise as a 'Parent's Right to Know and Child Protection,' is a divided and controversial issue on the ballot expected to create more of a buzz the closer the election comes. A common misconception regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification equates to consent. However, parental consent is not required for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to have the procedure performed or opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73 argue that the law limits the teen's medical privacy and attempts to legally mandate family communication. Parental notification can be side-stepped. Minors do have the option to seek a court ordered waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or best interests, as determined by a juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without a waiting period in the event of a medical emergency, defined in the stipulations of proposed law as: necessary to prevent "serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" of the mother as result of pregnancy. Under the conditions of the law, violation of these mandates would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons, would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1000. California is not alone in this endeavor; more than 30 other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for minors seeking an abortion. According to the Campaign for Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so unhealthy, involving the parents would cause more problems than it would solve.'" The proposition could ultimately jeopardize the teen, and the Campaign for Teen Safety claims that supporters of the initiative fail to recognize that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's right to an abortion. Rebuttal to the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of Prop. 73] believe government can force teens to communicate with their parents," which is ridiculous. In contrast, A Parent's Right to Know website, challenges the ideology that nothing medically happens to a child without their parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age of 18 can't get an aspirin from the school nurse, get a flu shot, or have a tooth pulled without a parent knowing." Supporters are aware that the abortion measure is a potential wild card that could be a big win for conservative Republicans. College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors to do have a voice to vote, but young adults may easily relate to either the benefits or flaws of this initiative regarding teen abortions. Oct. 2 4 i s the deadline to register to vote. Voter registration cards can be obtained through the ASI o ffice located at Commons 207.

This year will be unique with the Career Expo being a union of both the Graduate/Professional School Fair and Job Fair. "This way students can explore both future career options with employer recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career Center director. The combination is a winning recipe to accomplish two things at once. One hundred and sixteen recruiters are scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending are grad schools recruiters." The Career Center advises students to dress as if they were attending an interview; a suit would be very impressive.

According to a handout, students should bring: a pen, paper, and plenty of résumés printed on high quality white paper to the Expo. Students are further encouraged to leave friends and family behind, enabling attendees to give their full focus on their career goals. The handout also recommends that students display enthusiasm and interest in the organization. Be prepared to ask and answer questions, request a prospective employer's business card, and don't forget to ask if you can contact them in the future. Students should also bring a good attitude, a smile, and a strong handshake, Punch said. If students feel unprepared, Punch informed The Pride of four workshops scheduled to help ease the process. The "Job Fair Success" workshop is scheduled on two separate days with a midday and late afternoon session: Oct. 11 from noon - 1 p.m. and from 4 - 5 p.m.; Oct. 12 from noon - 1 p.m. and from 4 - 5 p.m. All workshops will be held in the Career Center, in Craven Hall 4201.

Shari could well be an authority on the subject. A Liberal Studies student with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must clearly impact the lives of many throughout her community. Shari describes her Cal State San Marcos experience as "long and tough, but very rewarding." Although a politician, Shari is also very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade if I aspired to be a council member," she reflected, "I would have told you 'no'. I ran for council out of necessity." One of the first items Shari placed on the agenda now establishes that the City Council plans, staff reports and back up materials be placed on the city's website 72 hours prior to meetings. cl •.. .. As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and binders now allow everyone access to Oceanside's city government. Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising awareness on affordable housing and focusing on good jobs and sound economic growth. And, if that isn't more than enough, she is working on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an access route alongside the San Luis Rey River and upgrades to other coastal amenities, including new beach access. Shari states, "I love the ocean and access to it. For years I have fought for public beach access and most recently was able to open one that had been concealed from the public for over 20 years. It's awesome to watch people use the access. Before it was open, the closest beach access point was over a mile away." Successful Student Shari Mackin truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember you 20 years later for holding his hand on a field trip when he was a small child. Success is receiving a phone call on the eve of a council swearing in ceremony from an autistic student you once worked with telling you he wanted to come but had to work." were ini?, p-tounf thepersonf hafe the rmoshaßday•" I; „.„^ Freshman ÜII ^ n m f n a f J ustice M äjor~ * I e clothes," ^ ss^Mpiiy^ Freshman N atasha Howard "YdI'cpn'f want to khoWj 1®®IÌ1I1I1II . ! : Junior -v l i f e S c i e n c e M ajor ; m Bob Difldoll M arshea Wilson What is t he law?

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Students who once found it difficult to get appointments with a writing tutor should be interested to know that, this semester, many-more should be available. The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this latest change. Rest any fears or high hopes of striking writing classes from the required course list; the solution was far less drastic. "At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to come to the writing center nine times, for nine half-hour sessions. The change is that they are still required to take nine tutoring sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from the Writing Center, the other four utilize an online program called 'V-Mentor'. GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before." Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is talk of opening another type of course for tutoring classes of other backgrounds." From its inception in 1991, the Writing Center has always been available to all. If students needing help with science and business classes ever felt edged out, it was certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester by her estimation, "there were so many appointments that students couldn't get in. Now, there are a lot more for everybody." When asked if this was the main motiva- (Learning Assistance?) a student services tion behind the change, she was quick to department, but many campuses, includremind us that, as this is her first semes- ing Colorado state, include them as part of ter as Director, "I didn't actually make the the English department, "which was why change.

A big problem for every tutoring serwhereas here the majority are first-year." Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's "housed". Our Writing Center is part of instructions. "It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in LTWR, some professors will get offended that the need for a Writing Center reflects poorly on their ability, which it doesn't at all. But that's something we've always dealt with." Mr. Sebring related to this experience entirely. "At Palomar there were both pros and cons, some professors were supportive and some preferred students not go. I'd assume they'd support it simply because it gives them additional resources." Director Goldwin was also quick to point out that "One of the philosophies behind the center is that the tutor is not an authority on the writing. The tutors are here to.. .help them find a direction. We're here to give feedback, but rarely a definite answer. A tutor should never say 'you're writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to talk about grades." Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt conundrums within the service, those who felt ill-prepared for college writing would hardly be offended to know that many High Schools are establishing services of their own amid the growing number of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's experience students often "won't realize they're having trouble until its way too late. They're in doubt of what's going on, (they don't know) that the center is here, they struggle on when they could have gotten some help."

Sometimes good things happen when you don't deserve them to happen. The San Diego Padres are a perfect example of that. The Padres have won an invitation to the MLB playoffs that start this week because they won the National League Western Division. However, when you look around the league at the teams with significantly better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't deserve a birth to the postseason. If the Padres were in any other division they would havefinishedin the bottom half and talks of playoffs would have disappeared in mid-July. I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World Series since both teams are still alive. I am confident with the Angels making the World Series but the Padres are an entirely different story. The common prediction is that the Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround because they have to face the St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best team in the National League this year and they were the National League Champions last year before losing to the Red Sox in the World Series. However, I can see some rays of hope for the friars. To begin with the Padres won the season series against the Cardinals four-to-three (three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck which means one day he could hit a couple homers, but the next day he couldn't even bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been in a gigantic slump since returning from the disabled list in mid-September. With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat because of two players by the name of Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is arguably the best player in the majors, but he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols doesn't get a chance to do more damage than he is capable. Generally, the person who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds. Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball. The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as menacing as some people think. The Padres fare well against right-handed pitchers and the Cardinals will most likely have a three man pitching rotation of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed Mark Mulder. If the Padres somehow find a way to get past St. Louis then they will face either the Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros. I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta) during the regular season. The Padres only went three-and-four (one-of-four in Houston) against the Astros during the regular season. The Braves are an easily beatable team because they have a weak bullpen and a starting pitching staff that is really built for a long season and not a short five or seven game series. Not to mention the Braves also have a young team that relies heavily on rookies who have no playoff experience. The Astros on the other hand pose the biggest threat because of their starting pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens. Those three guys could be the ace on any team in baseball and as the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins championships." However, the Astros have a weak offense and in the playoffs a team needs to score at least four-runs a game to be competitive. Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey, at least they made the playoffs and I can't wait till next season.

If you guessed the new parking lot behind the under-construction Business building, you were right. It is General Lot H and for the 81 students who discovered it during the early weeks of the semester, it spelled freedom from arriving huffing and puffing after trekking up the hill and the stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100 yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt) and you walk right into either Science Hall (A) or Academic Hall. I noticed an anomaly this week. My "discovery" had become full even by 8:00 (I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel was worth getting up early) and most of the cars were faculty/staff. At the same time, the usually packed faculty lot about another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the purveyors of our education a parking spot that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15 or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park too. Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd better go to the source to find an answer to that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by the Parking Services office and spoke with Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can "talk parking all day." Robert explained that one reason "H" was such a secret is that when it was reported to the "Loop" for e-mail distribution, the only way to read about it was to notice the "Click here for news about parking." Here is an abbreviated version of that report: a) Parking Lot H is temporary and Photo by Shannon Schureman / The Pride will eventually be part of a larger project to accommodate at least 1200 cars for General H parking lot located behind the new business building.

A bar on campus could help with student safely BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Special to The Pride reasons why we should have a bar at Cal State San Marcos. The first is due to the f act that C S U S M i s p rimarily a c ommuter With all the construction planned in CSUSM's future, how about building a place for students to relax after class, a place to ease the tensions of exams - a bar? Now, it's true that this suggestion appears to fly in the face of the polices toward alcohol that the campus has put forth in recent years, yet there are good college, where people come, go to class, and leave. An on-campus bar would make a great place for students to interact and get to know each other. N o matter what you may think of bars personally, for many people they are places to relax - or pick up a date - and it would be nice to have a place that students could go, have a drink, LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help yourselves! leader from SDSU expressed an On September 25, 2005 the idea that helped me cope with the CSUSM Lobby Corps assembled aforementioned "get out the vote" at San Diego State University ideas.

The second reason we should have an on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough has to do with many of the concerns that the campus has recently expressed over the drinking habits of the student body. Cal State San Marcos was one of a number of state campuses to receive a substantial grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing alcohol abuse among students. With the money received from the grant CSUSM plans to identify the drinking habits of students when o ff campus and especially in the surrounding community. Although the somewhat shadowy details of this ongoing plan seem more than a bit intrusive into the outside lives of students, its ultimate goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is an important one, especially as CSUSM continues to grow. A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San Marcos could regulate negative incidents related to drinking by having a bar on campus. Students Would not have to travel * elsewhere to drink after class, which is a What i key safety issue. A bar on campus could also limit the number of drinks a student could have and would ensure that an only twenty-one and up age group was allowed access. Students are going to drink no matter what, so you might as well have them do it where there can be actual control and regulation. The current alcohol policy at CSUSM expressly prohibits the possession or sale of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having a bar on campus would have to be approved by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many colleges that actually have such establishments on campus. It is unfortunate that drinking has attracted such negativity about it when it comes to college students, and having a bar on campus is going to be controversial no matter how you present it. Yet the idea of having an on-campus bar at Cal State San Marcos is not without some merit. What do you think? schra009@csusm.edu �OPINION Who wears the pantsP Who you callin' lazy?

I've bit o ff more than I can chew and condemned myself to imprisonment within my busy schedule. If not punching someone's time clock to assist in brainstorming and punctuation at my day job, I'm dwindling away the evening hours answering phones and closing service tickets on my night job. If not studying the effectiveness of small group communication in the morning, I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the afternoon, and working for The Pride at night. During the week I am a tutor, mentor, and scholar and on weekends I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to confiscate a slice of my own free time, my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it. For what do I work so hard for? Why the incessant need for struggle? Well... Because if I carry 18 units now and 18 in the spring I can graduate Because my gas needle seems to always fall on empty Because certain classes in my major aren't offered next semester Because my Jetta won't pay for itself Because the writing center needs tutors Because I went over my cellular plan's minutes last month Because certain classes in my minor aren't offered next semester either Because my GPA cannot fall below Dean's List standards Because...I made my bed and I now must lay in it. If God won't put more on us than He knows we can handle, He must think I'm Wonder Woman. Snap back to my early morning incident where I'm put on display as a slacker of a student, if only some people knew the half. Some, a very few, actually do. To these students, I salute your commitments to jobs, organizations, families, and other pass times while simultaneously keeping school a priority. To the spectators who don't know us from Adam but call us lazy and crazy, back o ff already. f C M E C T O N S : V ol X I V N o . 4 ¿ ^ l l l g ^ g t ó l t ó i m i f y o ^anizatóoiis fór s t^poif t he P atócialGuenarra' s hould r ead ' Patricia G uevarra' The Substance Abuse Advisory Council is seeking six s tudents t o survey t he alcohol serving behavior of local bars S ome s uperstars g et t rophies, o thers g et s miles.

Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face. As this time around the San Diego audience was a bit fickle. At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans seemed indifferent towards these talented bands. Wait, I take that back. One circle pit attempted to create a following. Maybe it's because the Tuesday night concert-loving crowd was thinking about work or school in the morning but there was much to be appreciated at this show. Before I get to the bands, let me note the production crew did a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night. The Weezer set was exceptional because everything was over the top. Lighting switched focus from the band to the audience and back again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé stage. One, a giant version of the cover art from the band's latest album "Make Believe," the next exemplified a starry night and last was the Weezer "W" flashing in golden lights. It was quite a change from the Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't have much flash or pizzazz, but it did have heart. Watching them is like watching an old punk rock video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was excited to hear such songs as "I predict a Riot" and "Oh My God" performed. Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson. I was pleased with their performance. Weezer was a disappointment, with newer songs "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs" just doesn't do it for me. They seem too shallow to be coupled with Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what kept me entertained. I personally would not suggest seeing Weezer in concert. After a much anticipated wait came Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor Hawkins). Grohl was all about audience interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and jumping all over the set, he gave a shout-out to a particular fan that went on stage and exposed his balls at a previous San Diego concert. He even encouraged a repeat of the stunt. Though a fan made it on stage, he didn't listen to Grohl's instructions. The Foo Fighters were a great treat and Grohl even stated he wanted to perform more shows in our country's finest city.

XIII NO. 12 Cougars win national recycling competition Campus diversity showcased C ampus earns the top spot in Recyclemania BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer International Fair entertains and informs students It's official: Cal State San Marcos is the best. CSUSM beat out 46 other college campuses including Harvard, Yale and Brown in the recycling rate category oftheRecylemania competition which ended April 9. According to the Recylemania website CSUSM Bowling Pin BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse range of cultures is one of the stated goals of CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission statement. Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted students to the largest event of the year put on by the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated Students Inc. The 3rd annual International Fair was held on Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300 people who attended the event. Following a fashion show featuring garments from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed w on t he c om- Guy trophy petition with a recycling rate of 43.65 percent. ^Recycling rate is determined by calculating the percentage of recycled materials in relation to trash by weight. "California State_ University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new Recycling Rate contest," reads the Recyclemania website. Second place in the recycling rate category is held by Tufts University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent. According to Recyclemania our closest competition, "Tufts University closed the gap with Cal State San Marcos to less than three percentage points, but never wound up getting closer than that." For winning the contest CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement. The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing 3,484 passenger cars from the road for one year, 132 acres of forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions from the power consumption of 2,066 households" "We are excited and so proud of the campus for their effort," said Green Team Member Mui See RECYCLE, page 4 Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride See FAIR, page 2 Students line up for food at one of the many club booths.

Master of ceremonies Dr. Carlos von Son said that the Brazilians had to mask their martial arts training with art and music in order to secretly train for revolt against their oppressive government and this resulted in a crafted art combining defense training, music, and dance. Tango dancing from Argentina was taught to students by professional tango instructors. Many students had a chance to see this seductive and romantic dance in action before being invited to try it on the dance floor. Jewish dance from Israel was then presented. The dance was easy to learn and most of the crowd was able to participate. The dancing filled peoples faces with smiles and laughter. Students from the Latino Club and MEChA danced to Mexican folk music or salsa and meringue. "This event housed spectacular dances which give a chance for us to observe different cultures, their customs, and spirit," said Italian student Roxana Righetti, "this gives students here at Cal State San Marcos, a chance to see our diverse cultures around campus." There was a wide variety of international cuisine available at the event. Food included nachos and agua fresca from Mexico, to Japanese tea and traditional salads from the east.

The poems offered blessings of hope, remarked upon times of sorrow, and expressed messages about spirit. Most students thought the fair was both fun and educational. Some students cited the university mission statement that talks about diversity. Student Cinthia Tirado said that she liked the fact that this campus displayed different cultures on our campus. "When the campus talks about diversity in the mission statement this definably helps us appreciate it," said Tirado. A student at the model United Nation's (UN) booth offered her perspective of the event. "We like to contribute to the international vibe on campus and open students up to new ideas about the United Nations," said political science major Jennifer Runge at the UN booth. One student gave her opinion as to why multicultural events on campus such as the International Fair are important. "It helps us to understand different cultures from different countries. I think it's important to know more about what's out there. Especially in the U.S. where many people don't know much about other countries," said student Jana Somolova. The organizers of the event were more than pleased by the participation in this years fair. "It went really, really good! We hope to provide and encourage students around the campus to learn, share, and celebrate different cultures," said International Club President Emily Ng.

Motivated Owners. Only in property since Dec. '04. Brand New! For Mewing rseeman@cox.net �Guarantee registration, take your CCR today BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer With the stress of finals and fall 2005 registration quickly approaching, stress levels can reach an all time high for many students at CSUSM. In the midst of this end of the semester chaos, don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a mandatory test for all baccalaureate students at CSUSM regardless of their major that must be completed within two semesters of attending the university. According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the end of the second semester, registering for any further classes at Cal State San Marcos will be restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here two semesters and you haven't taken the test yet...get to it. What is the purpose of the CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an attempt to bring everybody who is a student here up to the same level of computer skills, so that when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know that this set of students had these particular skills." The CCR covers five main areas: computer concepts and terminology, soft-ware ethics and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email, basic word processing, and basic spreadsheet concepts. Students are required to take and pass all five sections with a grade of " C" or better in order to fulfill the requirement. Students who don't pass a certain section of the test only need to retake i§WANTED>:; SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!» $ 1 1 . 0 0 - $ 1 7 . 0 0 per hour Call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M can take the CS100 course." ably make sure that students are The CCR was intended as a required to take a computer class temporary program that would rather than a test," said Hoilmen. be phased out because the uni"I think it's a little redundant versity assumed that student skill because when you come from that section.

This is the question that every graduate dreads as family and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer, of course, is to get a job and start paying back those student loans, but there are other options. "Delaying the Real, World: A Twentysomething's Guide to Seeking Adventure," is a book written by Colleen Kinder that encourages new graduates to take a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going to work. Her mission is to get young people to realize that there is a small window of opportunity for them to follow their passions before they get tied down with a career or a family. Sometimes this generation of "Twixters" is criticized for not wanting to grow up and take on responsibility, but traveling to another country and getting a job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a fellowship offer for $2,500 from www.delayingtherealworld.com for someone who proposes a unique and worthwhile adventure. The fellowship might be a longshot, but it is worthwhile to pursue the idea of adventure. There are many organizations that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another country (see box). They arrange for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are to teach English, and all you need is your Bachelor's degree and a TEFL Certificate, which takes about a month to earn. There are many advantages to teaching or working in a foreign country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and the culture. You will have time to really see something* other than the usual tourist traps, and will gain confidence in yourself by facing unique situations. Upon your return to the USA, you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume and show your potential employer that you have the capability to handle any challenges that may come your way. You do not have to go through an agency to line up one of these jobs, but your parents might feel a little more comfortable about , your adventure. Many potential adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have posted on message boards.

The video said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff, and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency for water quality. Sekich said everyone in the community contributes to urban runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean up effort, whether it be through education, beach clean ups, or awareness. "For me, Earth Day is every day," Sekich said The Surfrider Foundation organizes events like their "Hold On To Your Butts," drive which brings awareness to cigarette filter pollution, and monitors water conditions with their Blue Water Task Force. They also legally protect the coast and educate students like 8-year-old Ezekiel Lopez. Are we supposed to recycle?" Lopez asked after the video. Of course, Sekich answered, and for that, she gave Lopez a hat, which he said he liked. Free stuff is one way the event recruited about 50 students. Ulbert contacted Sun Diego, BY JON RODLEY For The Pride Free pizza and hot wings lured students to a Surfrider celebration for Earth Day yesterday put on by the ASI Programming Board. "For April, Earth Day was the only important holiday I felt needed to be addressed," said Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she organized the event. Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called "Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San Diego and the world. The video showed surfers dropping into gorgeous waves and clean water, contrasted by images of Imperial Beach in San Diego County where plastic debris and other byproducts of urban runoff cover the sand at a disgusting rate. The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within an hour to the coast; these cities are built in areas of the water cycle where fallen rain collects oil, settled air pollution, pesticides, fertilizers, and other pollutants like cigarette butts. The effect of this urban runoff ZERO CLOSING Photos courtesy of Jon Rodley donate T-shirts and hats, videos, and a surfboard. "It was really good that they were happy to be involved," Ulbert said. After the free food from Pizza Hut and the presentation by Surfrider, Mike Gener and Ryan Thompson of Stoked on Life showed a bodyboarding video they produced titled "Aquatic Ninjas." Later this week, Earth Club, a co-sponsor of yesterday's presentation, will host a free planting ceremony today at 11 a.m. at the library and a beach cleanup and bonfire Friday at Oceanside Pier.

FRANKEL & JENNIFER IANNI Pride Staff Writers Students are also given a chance to write a general comment about the professor and the course itself. For some students, consulting RateMyProfessors.com is a vital step in the process of registering for classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website before registering for her classes. "It's been really good," she said. "Actually, I picked all of my teachers for this semester, and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices." "I think it's really good to have a peer assessment from people who've had the instructors previously," said Cindy Roper, a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use it responsibly." Although Roper has never posted a review on a professor before, she plans to this semester. "I have a teacher that I don't feel is very qualified this year and I think that if others can benefit from that knowledge, I would like to tell them about it," she said. Students from all over the nation have been inspired, just like Roper to tell of both their joys and their grievances. "From students, the response is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski. So do the professors at CSUSM actually look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure they do. If I was on a website like that I'd wanna see what people thought about me," said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf. One professor admitted to looking at her own posting and to those of her col- Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn student seeks Trigonometry teacher who is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains coursework clearly—andby the way, being hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've been looking for. With over 530,000 professors rated by former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on their professors for free. Information is easily accessible with regards to which professors are student favorites, which are easy graders and which ones you might actually learn something from. These features make RateMyProfessors.com a handy tool when selecting future courses. John Swapceinski, the president and founder of the website, explained his inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I was attending San Jose State University in Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class with a particularly dastardly professor. She was an unfair grader and downright nasty to her students, so I decided to start RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world about her and other professors like her." Seven years, and many other disgruntled students later, Swapceinski's dream, has most definitely been realized. The website rates professor performance in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

Frankel / The Pride leagues. "I think it's always interesting to find out what students think about how we're doing and it's really important to us... I'm always interested in getting more specific information about what the class is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and writing department. Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort of thing that I place a lot of confidence in, or that I would trust, or that I would allow to influence any professional decisions or activities with my colleagues and faculty," said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want to make it very clear that I have a very low opinion of this website." When asked if professors should be concerned about a website such as this, McDuffie said, "To the extent that the website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their reputation as scholars, as teachers and as people, then, yes, I think they have reasons to be concerned about the website, just as they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication that would involve them. There's basically no due process attached to the website." Students don't just use this as a way to criticize their professors. Teachers might be pleased to find out that "over 65% of the ratings are positive," according to the website. The people behind RateMyProfessors. com maintain that the views expressed on the website are purely the thoughts and experiences of student contributors. They acknowledge on their website that although the ratings are not statistically valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. However we often receive emails stating that the ratings are uncannily accurate, especially for schools with over 1000 ratings." Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's only obligation is to the students. "Where else can you find out what others think of an instructor? When you have the option of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really like some information? It also gives you, the user, a place to voice your opinion. It gives you a place to make a difference in your education," the website stated. In the past, there have been attempts to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said. If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change their perspective. "Think of this site as an opportunity to hear what your students normally keep secret from you." One of the more lighthearted aspects of the website is the hotness of the professor, which is indicated by a chili pepper next to the professor's name. While not taken as a serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper. Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the humor in the hotness ranking and stated, "I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers. It's f un to see who got them. To try and figure out what they're there for. In some cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about power and charisma." While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students. This website provides an open forum for students to voice their opinions to other students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching, RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool that you've been searching for. Have a hot semester!

Q x n M - F 8am-6pm & Sat 310 S. Twin Oaks Valley Rd, Ste 107. S an Marcos. CA 92078 �By Bryan Mason For The Pride First off; I need to give some props to the paper for its front page, the breaking news from last week: CSUSM RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING. Hot Damn. I mean, best in recycling; I'm still trying to catch my breath from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is recycling that big of a deal that we need to proclaim it to the world? I know when I picked up the paper and read the headlines I almost fainted. And I also loved the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about, like the article of getting a job a ffii graduation, gets a second seat to the breaking recycling news. I mean come on, is recy- cling bigger than what we are all here for, to better our education and eventually get a job? We are out here busting our Asses trying to get good grades, get a good education, and get a degree, If recycling is-so damn important that we need to back page actual news that some students could learn from and use to better their job acquiring chances, then our priorities are seriously down the drain. Between the recycling and the repetitive news about eating disorders, I neariy put the paper down and just walked away. However I trudged on and kept reading, and then I came to the second page of the variety page, and found Concert Etiquette. I would expect to see Opera Etiquette or Church Etiquette, but aren't concerts the things you go to where everyone is f just wfld and doesn't s eemto give a rat's ass about what they are doing for a brief couple of hours? Somebody needs to get back to me on that one. Especially if wearing deodorant and not getting killed in the mosh pit {which can easily be avoided if you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going to concerts, it will save you a lot of "pouting time*' and money. The paper is just filled with advertisements, even though Brian is doing an awesome job selling the ads, it seems that the paper quality still needs to grow, because it doesn't matter how many ads we sell or how many coupons the reader can cut out to get free tans, the articles still need to improve. Including my On the note of my own two articles on Motorcycling and Cultural Absorption (which the title was misprinted, way to go guys) I'll let you guys make your own judgments. And for the Zach's article, which had a bitter, bitter tone, I think that it's great that he is voicing his opinion on "jocks" and "dykes," but I think I could have found a few choice words to leave out. And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the Barkers" and the new 50 Cent album both equal up to shit. I mean come on, everyone knows that 50 Cent has just totally gotten too hyped up in himself and we all saw this coming after his first album could stay in your CD play for no more than ten minutes. If TV and radio got any worse I would imagine there would be many more cults and mass suicide groups for me to join. I'm still counting down the days until someone finally goes berserk because they've seen one too many celebrity reality shows and goes on a shooting rampage. There were good things about the paper, like the layout and Jason really deserves credit for it. The back page was awesome, as a matter of fact the whole arts and entertainment part had ridiculously good layout And a quick congrats to Derek Heid, who did the Ombudsman last week, for stepping up to the plate, balls out and writing a good critique. Despite all the bitching about sports and the constant battles, the paper is improving and I don't want to sound like a broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that note, I'm going to go sit back, relax, and bid you farewell. Want to tell me to go to hell? Send it to mason025@csusm. edu. OR VOL.

What is bugging youP BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Most of the time I am a fairly contented person cruising through life and running my errands as expeditiously as possible. Sometimes though, I get to thinking a little too much about the way stores set up their "friendly" policies. Now I love to get my fix of Starbucks at one of the stores conveniently located at approximately half-mile increments from my job to school, but one thing drives me nuts. Why do they even bother to ask your name and misspell it on a cup when they insist on shouting out "non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be really simple to just say your name? Blockbuster is even worse. After they have checked out your DVD's and you have paid, they yell out your selections loud enough for everyone else to hear. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just chose those titles a few moments before and I'm pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out. Is it some sort of insidious plot to point out what a loser you are on a Friday night by yourself in a video store? I guess I must be a grump, because I think overfriendly service in a store is annoying. For example, when I walk into Millers Outpost, they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you doing today". Well, I might be doing just fine, but I sure don't feel like yelling back to them. And, what if I am not doing okay, am I supposed to yell that back to them? I would much rather be able to find someone easily when I need help, but somehow they seem to mysteriously disappear. On a different note, I don't know if you have noticed, but someone has kidnapped all of the people who do radio and TV voiceovers and replaced them with one man and one woman. You know the voices. You hear them on the Carl's Jr. commercial and on car commercials. They speak in a monotonous nasal voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible. The first time you hear their voices it is different and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use their voices in about every other commercial. In fact the guy voice even took over an entire radio station. Star 100.7 used to have a variety of DJ's, but now this one guy drones on about being "Jack" and how they don't care if we don't like what they play. Well, I am glad "I don't know Jack," because he really bugs me. What is bugging you? ¡kp%€ Mo^e C^ilSM Gerrit S o Y oa.

With so much going on in everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^ and smaller, and as we interpret the looks of fellow people around campus, and the world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact Jason Ëncabo / The Pride that we are told to or because we need to? Is love a necessity? In short, yes. This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened. But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all these times just a dream until we find our better halves? Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle. Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them. Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent. Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted? No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a flame. Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us? There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue. Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where to send them mason025@csusm.edu. Please recycle this paper is typically understood to be created-from, whereas Hate prefers to be observed-by. Nonetheless, when considering their shared primal and political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its _ _ _ _ _ usefulness. And 7 is never deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last. 1.) Ire Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd better. 2.) Spite Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed, lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually dilute, if not expel the affliction. 3.) Offense Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds the act is rarely any kind of justice. 4.) Vengeance If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual, powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless affair with foresight. 5.) Prejudice The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species, particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to debasing causes. 6.) Genocide This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood, thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely, would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything. 7.) Psychosis The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as a Psychotic. �THE PRIDE A Tuesday, April 19, 2005 O cJQ cmhim^HB L eetee by P*o£ Jane Cfaaaee lpm, Arts 111 ASI Blood Drive—free snacks, flip H UH Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride wiches, delicious salads, traditional corned beef and cabbage, to steaks of all kinds.

That's where George Lutz is mistaken. Ryan Reynolds plays George in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family is cursed by living at 412 Ocean Avenue in Long Island. The movie is based on a true story and the house was once a mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham supposedly slit his own throat so that his soul would never leave the property. The movie begins by showing the horror that happened in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family in the house, claiming that the voices told him to do it. Flash-forward and the movie focuses on the next family, the Lutzes, who move into the house. The graphical effects are frighteningly good and may sometimes even cause you to jump in your seat. One example is when George and his wife, Kathy (Melissa George), are in the middle of sex when he all of a sudden sees a dead girl standing behind her. Unfortunately, the director resorted to a few cheap tricks, like moving magnets on the refrigerator to spell out phrases, blood seeping out of nooks and crannies, and a provocative pot- smoking babysitter. But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing, and George's dry humor brings laughter to the times when the director's overuse of emotional bullshit would have otherwise been unbearable. This remake leaves out a few details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder that would have made the plot even more interesting. For example, George is supposed to have an uncanny resemblance to Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest is supposed to go blind after visiting the house. My suggestion would be to see the 2005-version first, because it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to learn more about the story. Real Laughs i n "A L ot Like L ove%®^ BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better. "A Lot Like Love" proved itself to be above the boring sap that the average romantic comedy usually portrays. Fake, cheesy, and unrealistic are words that surprisingly don't describe this Images courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures love story. You will want to see Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the screen. The first couple of minutes were slow, but the pace picked up during Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy Oliver falls for Emily immediately as she humors his boyish innocence. They meet up the next day, and spend the afternoon together exchanging quirky comments and spontaneous moments that each would remember. Oliver finds himself getting attached to a seemingly uninterested Emily and tries to save face, making a deal with Emily that he will have a job, house and car all wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six years. They depart as the story unfolds with more spontaneous outings on New Year's, and a road trip that lands them naked in a National Park. Yet, getting to know each other better as friends sparks a romance that neither is willing to admit—until it may be too late. The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't help but love, and Peet is entertaining with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is extremely fascinating to watch. This is espiecially because many scenes looked as though they were un-scripted, which added to the cohesiveness between the two characters. Although this film contains some unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from the rest giving a few real laughs, and good feelings rather than a gag reflex. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This w eek's issue highlights the strides made by h istorical black f igures in bringing awareness to r acial equality and laid the foundation for the country t o elect its f irst black president, Barack Obama. February, also known as Black History Month, seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as important and unforgettable as the long list of events and people in black history. Year a fter year, black people continue making strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless, there are several individuals who are precursors to the history made January 20th. President Obama j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to inspire the cultural experience of a changing world. The premise of Black History Month originated in 1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, published The Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help create awareness of the impact black people played in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in hopes that it would instill pride among the black community.

For example, I can't stand it when I'm trying to eat some colonel at a certain fried chicken franchise with friends, all the while, little baby loud mouth is screaming his/ her head off and throwing his/her cheaply made plastic toy he/she got with his/her meal.. .at me! We've all been in that situation before, and if you haven't, feel sorry for me and send me a basket offruitto console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing to do with sex? Well, keep reading and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.) Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate description to what some may have gone through during sex. First, everything is great: you're enjoying yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy. Then, all it takes is one fateful action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into a damp square of cold mush. (Yes, a sandwich filled with cheese... and sex!) So, what is it that causes t hese s udden outbursts of moment destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have you just always wanted to try it? Or are you just misreading your partner? Let's be serious for a bit, sex is a serious and beautiful thing. It is a union that is shared with you and your partner, and hopefully, it is something that you do out of love. That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying the experience of sharing an intimate moment with your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is that you have to know what your partner likes before you try it. For example, "talking dirty" is quite the popular way to spice up one's sex life. But sometimes, you'll find some people out there that don't much care for it, personally, I think it's a little cliché, and preferably, only best suited for Steve Carell's portrayal of a 40-year old virgin. But there are many ways that one can help to give his/her partner "what they like" and receive it in return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different positions, to something as simple as the way your partner dresses or expresses themselves. That being said, let's get to know some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course. To get a broad sense of what some look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender identifications and sexual orientations. Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes torelationships: Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they are. And I'm definitely not into girls that worry about what they eat." Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain jealousy is just horrible. I like the "little things," like just calling just, because and visiting me at work. It lets me know that they care." Male, 22, homosexual: "I like someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new things. And I don't like someone who has no "drive" or life goals. They would rather stay home all the time then go out every once in awhile." Name one turn on and one turn off when it comes to sex (if sexually active): Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts. Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey! What happened to my needs!?" I like constant touching, like cud- dling or just holding each other. The love just keeps coming. Male, 22, homosexual: like when the other gets really "into it" by not holding back their moans and is somewhat aggressive but not overt. I don't like if the other person does not reciprocate or "give back" during sex and is unadventurous when it comes to new sexual positions or techniques." Obviously, these are all individual preferences and are all respected. While anonymous, I applaud this diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a sensitive topic. But just remember, whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure you do it (pun intended) safely and mutually. And never let anyone get you down about what you enjoy doing and talking about, everyone is different and each have their own preferences. Just remember to keep communication with your partner open and free of discomfort. So if your significant other decides to utilize the dreaded whips and chains in your next encounter, talk to them. You are just not into that kind of thing*right?So make sure you tell them that, for the sake of your bum. I love Wikipedia BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Wikipedia is the infamous database of information that any Internet user can edit. Society has given the online encyclopedia reputation of misinformation and unreliability. Found at wikipedia.org, this free encyclopedia boasts 2,718, 815 articles for any user to edit. Despite all this, I love Wikipedia. Many professors tell me to ignore Wikipedia because it is unreliable and not a valid source for information. As I progress in college, I find more and more ways to use Wikipedia. It is time to embrace Wikipedia for the potential it has as a resource.

Spangenberg. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the real Gross Domestic Product decreased by 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008. The current number is based on estimates. The actual GDP is set for release on February 27. The BEA states that the real GDP decreased mainly to a decline in exports, equipment, and software. In order for the United States to officially be in a recession, the real GDP must decrease two quarters in a row. A slumping GDP and a rising unemployment rate are all negative signs for Cougars. Current students must compete with those that were laid off, and even some who seek a second job for additional income. Future graduates might experience difficulty in finding career opportunities.

The math lab is open Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No appointments are necessary.

Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges and universities for the national Recycling and Waste diversion title. CSUSM proudly continues to hold the title it first obtained in 2005. "We got a random e-mail asking if we wanted to join. We didn't know what it was but thought, 'what the heck, let's give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson, Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At that point, there were only 43 colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down from start to finish. It astounded us." Recyclemania began in 2001 as a small competition between two Ohio colleges. It contin- ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania includes about 510 colleges and universities. Hanson urges everyone to keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles number 1-7, cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard, paper, and pre and post consumer food. The competition runs from January 18 through March 28. Recyclemania consists of different subcategories: gross weight, per capita, and recycle percentage of total refuse. Hanson believes that CSUSM's secret success is due in part to the already established social climate in regards to recycling, adding that, "we didn't have to create something new or try to change attitudes." Carl also offers credit to the cafeteria personnel and the Foundation for the job they do at the beginning of the waste stream. It begins with choosing packaging materials. Years ago, the choice material was Styro- year. foam, which cannot be recycled. • "They have been very enthuRegardless of the downstream siastic and we look forward to effort, if the start is wrong, their contributions," Hanson the end product will ultimately said, adding that Faculty Services Director Ed Johnson also fail.

I appreciate all the ways that they better the community. They bailed me out of situations including flooding sinks, clogged toilets, and broken beds. I would not be able to do my job without the help from these extraordinary men. Any RA can list off many more examples of how the maintenance people came to his/her assistance in a dire situation. Even in simple situations, such as going to check a fire alarm or replace a light bulb, it is reassuring to know I can count on them. Recently, while still completing their daily task, the maintenance crew worked with an outside crew and put in a fountain. The new fountain is beautiful and will be a pleasant sight for anyone who walks by the UVA. Everyone responsible for com- pleting this installation deserves praise. As an RA, I am ready to handle parties, emotional breakdowns, and roommate conflict. Yet, I cannot fix some things. They make my job easier when something goes wrong and a resident needs my help. That is why I must give all thanks to the friendly and hardworking maintenance staff. UniversityVoice Photos by Gabi Martinez ¿¡Pride Staff Wrîtër What does Black History Month mean to you?

Other requirements include a letter of application, a school transcript, and at least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac- ulty. After students apply, there is an interview process where CSUSM's committee headed by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to select one student to represent the campus in Washington. There are many benefits from this program. "It is an honor to be part of it because it is unique, only one student is selected from each campus," said Kirst. Another great benefit is that the program pays for the interns' expenses such as housing and air travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses. "I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity," Kirst added. Among other benefits, interns can earn up to 20 units during the semester. Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student representative for CSUSM. McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major. Photo courtesy Jenny McDonald "It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to work in government, policy, or the media. It is a one of kind opportunity," McDonald said. The Congressional Internship Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in Washington, D.C. McDonald's internship included many unique experiences such as going to the White House and Congressional hearings. "I got to meet people who write our laws, who have been influential for the past 30 # years," said McDonald. One of McDonald's most mem- orable moments was when, President Bush's Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, talked to other interns and her for almost an hour and took questions from them. Another highlight of her experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout occurred.

They will work on the deconstruction of older properties to make way for new ones, and refurbish older houses for new occupants to move into. "It's a whole other level of volunteering," says Jamie Inarda, a CSUSM senior who went on the trip to New Orleans last year. "It's a great way to have fun, make friends, and do something good for a community in need." Another CSUSM student, Kyle Gregory, also attests to the program's benefits. "You get a lot more out of it than you would out of a traditional spring break. It's a fun experience and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said. While the program seems more work oriented than a usual vacation, they make time to have fun as well. This year, in addition to volunteering, the group will take time to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and watch a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Typically, there are only ten spots available for students to go, and the sign up time is during the fall semester. Though it is too late to sign up for this year's alternative spring break, returning students can still sign up for next year during fall of2009. Photo by Sara Gallegos If you do not have plans for Spring Break 2010, alternative spring break may be an option. It may not seem as fun as a self-indulgent weekend, but it is an opportunity to help others in need.

BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Editor-In-Cheif Girls, how many times have people told you that you are wasting your time with the guy you always have to call or the one who only wants to see you when he's drunk? How often do you listen? How often do you sit around with your girlfriends analyzing and psychoanalyzing his every word and move?18® Maybe the answer to all your troubles is simple. Maybe, he's just not that into you. , The best seller-made-into-movie formula seems the best way nowadays to increase readership. The Boston Herald claims the book "could save a generation of women who would be wasting their lives waiting by the phone." "Sex and the City"firstcoined the phrase that inspired the book title. In fact, authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo worked as writers on the popular show. The countless conversations that took place in the "Sex and the City" writing room inspired this self-help book foj: womeri; Written from the advice of a man, "HJNTIY" "matterof-fact"-ly evaluates the classical scenarios most women go through in the dating world. With chapters entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Asking You Out" and "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding, often relaying the "easier said than done" mentality most women may encounter while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her failed success rate as proof. At the end of each chapter, Behrendt backs up his advice with statistics. In the chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt discredits the excuse that men are afraid of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped W ord(s ) Qwertyuiop /ml U sually t h e t op l ike o f a k eyboard, q wer- them from getting into a relationship." One guy quoted even said, "That's just what we say to girls when we're just not that into them " J? Though the book may come off a bit harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers women the opportunity to have control over their dating life by setting themselves to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how to identify the right guy when he comes along. The book motivates women to consider themselves the rule and not the exception when dating. We've all heard the story about the girl who pursued the guy and they ended up living happily ever after or the one where the guy treated the girl he was sleeping with awful for a few years and then one day he realized he loved her. "HJNTIY" commands women to erase these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but not the exception. Any woman out linflge there stands to benefit from reading the book. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or even married, pick it up and give it a shot. The 150 plus pages are an easy read and even if you yourself are blissfully content with your love life, chances are you hiave a friend out there who could benefit from these words of wisdom.

The answer will differ from man to woman, young to the old, right? Did these vaginas talk to you? What did they say? Eve Ensler would agree that vaginas do indeed talk and they have a lot to say. Well who the hell is Eve Ensler? Her vagina would say that she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina advocate. Ensler began writing monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women about various topics such as sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay." The Vagina Monologues were first shown off-Broadway in 1996 but since its debut, it gained popularity, gaining vagina-friendly fans across the nation. Oh, and yes there are some international vagina advocate proponents as well. After seeing one performance the vagina will no longer be taboo. For Ensler, the vagina is something to be celebrated, cherished, and adored; it should be free from violence and injus- cream in the actual ingredients. A milk chocolate brown radiates from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air. The liquid enters the mouth and gingerly scrubs the tongue and taste buds. Small sips turn into large gulps, eventually resulting in an empty Yoo-hoo glass bottle.

BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on this weekend for a big haul. This week's line-up features several big name films that will compete for the top box office spot. All the films have potential to be very good and bad. It is just a matter of how far they are willing to go on that spectrum. 0 First on the list is a pair « that I expect to find in the \ Razzies nominations next ^ year. For some reason, Hollywood is still willing to give the Wayne's Brothers money to make movies They have titled their latest abomination "Dance Flick." This genre of lame parodies spawned by "Scary Movie" and continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to go away. It makes me sick to see these unoriginal films referencing and exploiting other movies. I will not subject myself to this weak parody of dance movies, and I urge you to do the same. Another waste of money coming out this week is "The Pink Panther 2." Steve Martin returns in this sequel to a remake. Hollywood should not have made thefirstSteve Martin "Pink Panther." The originals are brilliant. The only way movies like "Dance Flick" and "Pink Panther 2" will stop being made is if people stop going to see them.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve their skills (although they need a stronger defense with reliable defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible sting on Laker morale. Despite last year's loss and obsessive cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers have assembled an all-star cast of players. Let us rejoice in the fact that our local Lakers team features an impressive bunch of collective talent.

Henry Selick directs this stop motion animatedfilm.Selick produced a few stop motion gems including "The Nightmare before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach." Dakota Fanning stars in "Coraline," providing the voice for the main character. The story comes from Neil Gaiman's best selling novella of the same name. It follows Coraline, a young girl who finds a secret door into an alternate reality where fantasy and adventure ensue. I hope that this will be more like Selick's other stop motion films rather than his other movie, "Monkeybone." Dakota Fanning also stars in the slick action film "Push." She least not from the Lakers. * My opinion is biased and does not reflect the views of the NBA. Do not blame me if the Lakers perform poorly. Quality of performance is subject to change. I am in the process of creating my own original episode of NBC's hit television series, THE OFFICE. The Mouse Trap, Episode #78? scene 32? Setting: Michael Scott's office room. Michael talks to the interview camera, alone in his office. Michael Scott - At the end of our Christmas parties on Friday I always leave a pair of cookies and milk out on the front desk for Santa, as I am the last to leave. On that following Monday, I rush to the office to see if Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk. Every time I come back, the cookies are always gone, but the milk is still there. Maybe Santa is lactose-intolerant. According to my experience, Santa is lactose-intolerant, which confuses me, because I always wondered how Santa got to be so fat. Side note: for those of you not acquainted with the Office, Michael Scott is not exactly the smartest person in the world.

Latina Dance Project BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer Students will have the opportunity to participate and learn about the hybrid work of the Latina Dance Project. The Latina Dance Project is a group of four women who bring their unique cultural and social perspectives of Latina life in the United States. The 3-day residency of the piece ""Coyolxauhqui Remembers," will take place at Cal State San Marcos with their f irst event a lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111. "Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a modern tale of Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec moon goddess, "is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought together in the myth of the moon goddess," according to the program description. The f irst event at CSUSM will be a performance and lecture where attendees will get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event at CSUSM is f ree to students and the community and all are welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela Nunez-Alvarez of the National Latino Research Center says, "It is important to support cultural events like the Latina Dance Project because they reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.

B rown proposes new budget in s upport o f CSU system B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ N EWS EDITOR Last fall, Governor Jerry Brown gained the support of California State University students with his new budget proposals aimed at keeping tuition from increasing. With the success of Prop. 30, some CSU students received a reimbursement of $249, or nine percent of what tuition was raised in fall 2012. With the start of the new year, Gov. Brown released his 2013-2014 proposal for the state budget, including $125.1 million in funding towards the CSU system. Gov. Brown stated that $10 million of the proposed budget will benefit students for advancing through their degree program without having to deal with "bottleneck" courses, which often causes the students degree progress to be extended longer than anticipated because they are waiting for a particular lower division classes or prerequisite for their major. Governor Jerry Brown addressing the budget. Gov. Brown's support for the CSU system is needed, since it has continuously lost financial support over the last several years. According to a press release of CSU Public Affairs, the-CSU has lost more than 30 percent of state funding. CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White has stated, "We appreciate the Governor's recognition that California will benefit from the investment of state funds into higher education. The proposed budget heads us in the right direction. It will allow the CSU to address the unprecedented demand for high quality education at our institutions, as well as areas of critical need. We still face many fiscal challenges and will continue efforts to operate efficiently and effectively, and seek out additional innovative ways to control costs." 01 l - G / i l « (HOME OF YEAR-ROUND BUYBACKS) iffllfll HOI Off-Campus Books now carries textbooks for C SUSM! 1450 West Mission Road, San Marcos, CA 9 2069 (760) 5 98-2665 CASA GRANDE $795 1 B E D R O O M FROM $ 8 9 5 2 B E D R O O M FROM $ 1 0 5 0 - Spacious Floor Plans - G ated Community ~ Laundry Facilites - Patios/Balcomies - Recreation Room/Library Near Shopping & Entertainment - Near Military Bases - Cats & Small Dogs Welcome STUDIOS FROM A partment Homes Call t oday for special offers 4 5 5 E W ASHINGTON ESCONDIDO, I H H I >vt ' "I CA >', 92025 Ì J > ' ' " j j i M f f l i i IfiBHjj^B 760-745-7766 " I f f ^yCou found hronicle K C us in the ougar Please m ention that JHHHBBBHBS^ vvww.casagrandeapartmenthomes.com L I V E T H E L I F E Y OU D E S E R V E ! �SPORTS THE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23,2013 Sports Editor: Alex Franco cougarchron.sports@gmail.com 3 T HE H EART BEAT: Athlete spotlight: Bridgette Stevens Healthy eating is only half the battle Distance runner f or track & field B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF WRITER It has become obvious that portion sizes have gotten larger over the decades-throughout restaurants and grocery stores. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately one-fifth of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years old are obese. Portion sizes have certainly fueled this obesity epidemic. According to the American Dietetic Association, the size of dinner plates has increased by 36 percent over the last decade. It is no secret, that more food on your plate, the more you will eat. Making less food every meal is a great way to combat portion control issues. Having an abundance of food at the dinner table is far worse than not having enough, which in all actuality is probably enough. From the lack of nutritional food offered to the overwhelmingly large portion sizes, America's restaurants are contributing to the obesity problem rather than helping it. For example, at Outback Steakhouse, a popular chain-restaurant throughout the globe, an order of MacA-Roo 'N Cheese yields over 600 calories, with greater than 220 of those from fat. It is safe to say that this menu item is popular a mo n g s t the youngsters; however, there is no reason why an 8 year old should consume all of this in one sitting. Solution? Allow your child to eat less than half, and order a side of vegetables. Your caloric total will still be around half of the entire portion, while offering nutritional value. Importantly, don't forget about what is on your plate. Just because you are eating less doesn't give you permission to eat anything. The USDA recommends that half your plate should be fruits and vegetables. For the remainder of your plate, about half should be a protein source and the other half should be whole grains. Using this as a template should make it easy to determine how much of each kind of food you should be consuming. When attempting to eat less, cravings are inevitable, thus stressing the importance of snacking. To help with portion control, try eating snacks throughout the day. Include things like fruit and vegetables, and foods with healthy fats like nuts. Nuts, B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL OPINION EDITOR including walnuts, pecans and almonds offer healthy fats, keep you fuller longer and are easy to pack and take anywhere. What you are drinking is just as important. Soda is incredibly harmful to your health, and is over-consumed in America because it is cheap and easily accessible. Most sit-down restaurants offer free refills of soft beverages, which seems inexcusable given the large glass sizes. Did you know that one can of Coca Cola contains the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar? Replacing soft drinks with water at the dinner table can drastically decrease chances of obesity and rapidly improve health. Remember, portion cpntrol is not easy. Fortunately, it is far better for your health than some fad diet and it is something you can practice forever to improve your health. Bridgette Stevens has been running for CSUSM for her entire four year college career. She has been competitively running since middle school, but has always loved to run. She is also a kinesiology major with plans to be a physical therapist once she graduates, and has been working at the Clarke for two years, sporting her time as an active member of the CSUSM community.

For the past couple of years now, this song has been played to bring people together and enjoying being in each other's company. As college students, we study hard during the week but live for the weekends when we can have fun, a concept that entrepreneur Ryan Craig understands. Craig, a San Diego State student who transferred from Palomar community college, created his own clothing company, "Red Cup Tour," which illustrates our generation with Ae depiction qf the infamous plastic red cup. With the company's website up and running, as well as stylish shirts available for purchase, we sat down with the designer. Question: What inspired you to start a clothing company? What does the "Red Cup Tour" represent? Answer: I feel there are all these clothing companies. I wanted to create something about simplicity and relationships, the people you C l e ebrate with. It wasn't about creating a clothing company but the idea~and expanding from that idea. Q: Why did you choose the "red solo cup' as the logo for your brand? A: First off, [red solo cups] are everywhere. It's the universal symbol of people together and having a good time. The line isn't about beer pong or drinking per se but to live life to it's full- Now that the Christmas season has ended and the new semester has begun, giving back to the community and donating to charity is often at the back of people's minds. However, the people in need of your help are not just seasonal based. They are around you at all times, and they include students on campus. Even if you are already busy amidst your homework and classes, here are two easy ways to help the people around you, even if it is just during a study break. One way to immediately give back to the CSUSM student body is by helping Summit Church (across the street from CSUSM and next to The Quad) with their Food Distribution program. Summit is in need of volunteers that are willing to help pass out food to students and people that need it. Volunteers would need to show up at 1:00 p.m. and the actual distribution would take place from 2:00 p jn. to 3:00 p.m. in the Summit Church park- 9 ^ Jpm • • # Entrepreneur Ryan Craig with a shirtfromhis "Red Cup T our clothing line. Photo courtesy of Ryan Craig, est. Our tagline is "Thirst for Life.' That explains it all. Q: How has the journey been from an idea to putting designs together to selling your product? A: It's been a while, actually, a year that I started working on the idea. I found resources from my friends to my family and them helping me out. You just have to tell yourself everyday to do something even if it's going to be a mistake, at least I tried. It takes a lot of planning. It's not just drawing something in class and putting it on a shirt. Q: Where do you get inspiration for your designs? A: I didn't want anything too cheesy. Its just things I find entertaining and think other people would like. I take in the world around and use certain things in my life. Q: How do you balance school and running a business? A: I've never thought I needed to be in school to be successful. I want to create jobs for others and myself. If I had the choice between reading a business book over a textbook, I would choose the business book. In my opinion, education is too 7 streamlined. Ifindit successful to teach yourself. I still have to balance school. For me, school is more networking and I take it upon myself to learn what I need to. Q: What future plans do you have for the "Red Cup Tour"? A: Every clothing line has collections, so I have some upcoming releases seasonally. There will be different designs and clothes, some surprises. Eventually* backpacks and other accessories but I don't want to give too much away. Q: What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs? A: Be a self-learner. You can't completely rely on others to do everything for you but allowing their help. Definitely know your strengths and weaknesses. Find others that can supplement your weaknesses. Also to fail faster, by that I mean learn by failing because it's a quicker path to success. This is the best time to make mistakes.

Beginning in December, the public has been able to experience some of their work up close. Students from Professor Judit Hersko's VSAR 301, "Materials and Structure of Art" course, have been given the unique opportunity to showcase their art to family, friends and members of the community at the Old Restaurant Row CSUSM Gallery. Throughout the semester, VSAR 301 students worked hard creating different projects, with their final project being the gallery showing.

Visual Arts major Amalia Wood created the piece "Sobering Up," which featured a brightly colored canvas that showed women flying upwards. Liberal Studies major Karissa Bullington contributed two of her dream catchers, the first entitled "Enchanted" and the second called "Birds of a Feather." Visual and Performing Arts major Laura Musgrove created the piece entitled "Resilience," created from wood, paint, the Bible, text, Paper Mache and yarn. "In ["Resilience"] I explored two very vital elements: spirituality and identity. My intention is to awaken the viewer's mind to the contrast I perceive between the negative cultural communications and the uplifting, encouraging and lifegiving truth spoken by God through His Word. I wanted this piece to reflect my personal design aesthetics as well as communicating the underlying theme conceptually," Musgrove said. The ability to show their work in a gallery has moti- vated the students to work even harder on future art pieces. "This was my first time having my artwork shown. It made me feel pretty happy that others could see it; I look forward to making more artworks to show," Wood said. "It was such an amazing opportunity to have my artwork showcased. This was the first time having my work displayed in an art gallery so it was very exciting and I hope to have another chance to do it again!" Bullington said. "I feel very fortunate and I am also appreciative to have had this opportunity to create an art piece that expresses my personal views and my identity both as an artist and person and for it to be showcased in an art gallery located at Restau- rant Row which is a popular area," Musgrove said.

B Y JULIANA STUMPP 40th anniversary of Roe vs. W ade sparks ' Walk for Life' marches A & E EDITOR B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL OPINION EDITOR Over our much-needed winter break, a new process for class registration took place. In late November and early December last semester, the new class registration process restricted you to a limit of 13 units until Dec. 17th, at which time you were able to a dd more classes if need be. Here are some of the students' opinions on this new change in our registration system: On Jan. 22, 1973 the Supreme Court came to a decision on the controversial case of Roe vs. Wade concerning the touchy subject of abortion. Abortion was illegal before this court case controversy came about, but in 1971 a woman tried to get a "legal" abortion claiming that she had been raped. She later confessed that she had lied on matter in order to get an abortion, but did in fact have the baby before the court reached a decision. Another similar case (Doe vs. Bolton - 1973) reopened the case,finallybringing the decision to extend the 14th Amendment of the Right to Privacy for the women to make their own decision to have an abortion. Ever since that decision day on Jan. 22, 1973 the debate still continues on whether or not abortion is a right thing to do. On the "Getting classes wasn't too difficult since I got priority registration because of my class standing. Despite the slight advantage, the unit c ap made it so that it wasn't possible for me to get all my classes, thus I had to strategically pick the classes that I knew would fill up fast," - Pat Tang, biology major "I reckon the people who will be affected the most and worst by the unit c ap are those who are graduating seniors. Though I a m not one of them, I c an sympathize. There are some benefits to the unit c ap. It allows students with lower priority to get some classes, even if it does hinder other's chances," - Viv Nguyen, biology major "The unit c ap sucked. I couldn't wait list enough classes so now I'm stuck with only 12 units," - Jordan Hays, business major "To be honest, I already had a late priority reg? istration date the day before priority registration ended. So, I was already freaking out about getting all my classes. I was not very fond about the unit c ap benefitting me personally because I'm still on the wait list for 2 out of 5 my classes," - Savannah Shick, business major "Well the unit c ap definitely made me prioritize and choose classes based on importance instead of kinda adding a bunch of classes and loading up. I focused more on important classes and it helped me set my priorities. It was kind of beneficial," - Austin Hoover, biology physiology major "It's notrightfor all of us to have to wait for everyone to pick their classes and then pick again later. It should be done on a first come first serve basis. What is the point of priority registration if we are going to be capped off at 13? If I'm paying for all these classes I want to be able to pick as many as I want," - Hunter Chanove, communication major "I guess the only concerns I c ame across was whether or not the classes I needed/wanted were full. Also, there was a concern with the timing of my classes, and whether or not the class I wanted would interfere with the rest of my schedule for this semester," - Zach Wilson, business major ^mmmm^mmmmmm (g i1 1 1 1• 1 W e a sked: D o you feel safe on campus in light of the I 1 8— recent shootings across the country? 16 ,6 • ,2— I 1 E flip I Ö— if 5 4— 2— o— ¡¡¡¡s Yes No u -I Indifferent I In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, (among other horrific shooting as of late), gun control has become a hot topic across the nation. President Obama has proposed 12 congressional actions and 23 executive actions that he feels will combat the issue of gun violence and control in the United States, which has led to nation-wide debate, Here are some opinions from your Cougar Chronicle editors: "As a college student, I feel that gun control is not regulated enough. Though you need background checks to purchase a gun, I highly believe in the regulation of Mental Status Exams that should be required in the purchasing of a gun. I understand that this is a second Amendment right, to bear arms, but tell me, why must we need assault weapons? As someone who has had family members die at the bullet of guns wrongfully purchased, people need to realize the importance of life. How many people have to die for this country to realize the danger we put our children in without regulating gun control?

Facts are facts, but the opinion is yours, is an unborn baby a baby? In the month of January across the nation, religious groups, pro-family advo. cates, and many other prolife people gather to fight for the unborn babies by marching in public with their signs of protest in what they call, "Walk for Life". This year it is the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade so there are anticipated to be more than usual. According to the National Catholic Reporter, tens of thousands of pro-lifers march every year in 'Walk for Life' events to help save the millions of babies being aborted every year. The woman who originally was fighting for abortion, is now Catholic and is fighting in the battle to save the unborn babies as well. "Roe" is pro-life now!

Editors* topics: gun control "My main concern was that I could only sign up for four classes but there was a chance that I needed five due to a concern with a class that's was unsure if I was going to pass. I was also not too crazy about the classes that were available. I was looking through my course catalog at all these classes for my major and hardly any of them were offered. I had already taken most of the classes offered so it was difficult to plan a schedule with the few choices I had left," - Jenica Caruso, communications major. 1 1— 1 1 "Roe" side, people defend it saying that if a woman becomes pregnant and decides she does not want that baby, and then she should have the right to abort it. On the "Wade" side, people say that aborting a baby means killing an innocent human being (since human life begins at conception) and that the if you don't want a baby, either don't have sex or give the baby up for adoption. Some defend the notion of abortion "killing a human baby" saying that unborn babies are not babies, instead a "fetus", "lump of cells" or even "tissue". People who are pro-life strongly oppose this claiming that human life begins at conception, showing the pregnant mothers an ultrasound image of the growing baby inside them proving to the mother that it is not just tissue. In fact in the controversial murder case of Scott Peterson (2005) proves that an unborn baby is a human being since he was Shout o ut! STAFF Curtis Bovee Karla Reyes for you America: would you rather have your "right to bear arms" or see your children reach their next birthday? It's time to prioritize. I know guns don't kill people. People kill people, but can you put a price on saving the life of even one person? Arguing that is selfish. People don't realize the importance of safety until they're burying their children six feet under. Why take the chance?" - News Editor, Melissa Martinez "While creating emergency plans and paying officer salaries are worthwhile causes, the amount of money being spent for these reasons is far more than we can afford during a time of economic hardship. This sounds like another piece of legislature that gives tens of millions of dollars to people that are already doing their jobs and taking these precautions when this money could be better spent. While Obama can be applauded for taking action to preyenf more tragedies like Sandy Hook, there should be a réévaluation of how much money needs to be spent and more of a focus on the other reasonable ideas that he has proposed.

Weekly meetings every foundation for legislation on gun control [background checks and bans on certain guns] makes sense, but the surplus amount of money being spent on police officers, gun control research, and safety plans seems to be a bit outrageous." - Features Editor, Katlin Sweeney "Guns have taken the fall for the terrible, horrific events that have taken place over the past few months, but I must say that (as it says in our Constitution) we have the right to bear arms. I don't think that we need to have automatic guns on the market, because I do not see the logic in having that for hunting, but I do believe that for the sake of the safety of the American people every school, business facility, and home should have, and be trained how to use, a hand gun. You never know who just may be walking in the door. I also think that we should start having Mental Status Exams for every gun purchase.

The main character, R, who can't remember his real name or how he became a zfcmbie, has been spending possibly years in the confines of an airport, which he and hundreds of other zombies call home and have formed a community. R is different than his fellow zombies and has developed a unique personality and strives to figure out his purpose in life. Not being able to hold long thoughts down or speak words with more than three syllables, R personally enjoys riding the airport escalators for hours or spending time with his friend and fel- low zombie M. R and M also take occasional trips to the outside city to hunt and feast on the brains and bodies of the "Living/' which R is not particularly found of. On one trip, R and his fellow zombiesfinda small group of the living and begin feasting. As he starts consuming one man's brains, he sees these vivid memories from that man's life and feels this deep connection to that man's girlfriend, Julie, which he falls in love with. During their time together R, slowly begins to transform himself and starts to break away from the typical zombie tendencies and changes those around him to become more human like. "Warm Bodies" is an easy read, with a great love story from start to finish -with a killer ending. It's a novel that will put life and death in perspective and will al- low the reader to see that just because you are a zombie doesn't mean you have to act like one.
