BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Ouch, tough question. There are so many temptations out there during, and especially a fter, a relationship is over. Maybe you have a thing for that one girl with the brown eyes in your Human Sexuality class (yes, ironic, I know), . or that boy with the spiky hair in your American Literature course, or that girl with the hump back or third nipple in your Anthropology class (not really, but could you imagine?). D isclaimer: Ivan Garcia does not condone the violation or the use of visual, physical, or informational exploration in or out of class to obtain visual, physical, or informational proof as to the existence of a third nipple. As I 'm sure you read about in my last article (you read it right? I mean, you'd really hurt me if you didn't read it), recovering f rom a relationship is your first priority. Never are you to put yourself or your potential p artner at risk of getting hurt or in a position to not receive your f ull commitment. Make sure you're ready to commit again, don't j ust go f or a " booty call," otherwise I 'll find you and kick you in the face. Make sure to b e r espectful, take your time, but also understand that you can't wait too long. You never know when something amazing might pass you by. Obviously if you j ust got out of a 2 or 3 year relationship (for example), take the appropriate time you need to get things straightened out with your ex, establish a support network or f riends and family, then move on. If you do so happen to find that special someone again, make sure that person knows and understands your past relationship and how you're feeling about it now. Please don't tell them that you're t otally ready to "do it" when in reality all you do when you get home is crawl in your bed, f orm a fetal position, and cry. Number 1, I 'm sure that'd b e a little creepy and sad. A nd 2, w ell... you must have been dating Legolas or Chuck Norris or something for you to b e that depressed. Let me set up a scenario, you (yes, you) j ust got out of a 3-year relationship. Your partner was the one that initiated the break-up and you still love them. Staying at home and looking at old vacation photos in which you both visited the world's largest ball of y arn isn't your cup of tea. On a side note, if you do do that, then be happy that y'all broke up because that sounds REALLY boring. A nyways, so what is l eft to do when you c an't forget about her/him? C ommunicate with people, learn their personalities, m ake a real connection, and h opefully something f antastic can flourish. Just r emember that that recovery solution sure as hell i sn't going out and having v arying sexual encounters with many d ifferent people. Sex should b e a connection between t wo people that love each other, so something tells me that yelling out C had's name while violently humping Tyler might b e a problem, t here's no recovering f rom that. I t's like p utting your dick into a bucket of ice cream, you can spend all day t rying to convince someone that it's still p erfectly good ice c ream, but i t's not going t o m atter BECAUSE YOU STUCK YOUR DICK I N IT!

Belligerence, b ooze, blondes BY KAT BRANDT Pride Staff Writer Every night at 10 o'clock at the University Village Apartments, two resident advisors suit up with a blue binder and do two sets of rounds. Rounds consists of checking every door in the dorms to see if it's locked, reminding hyperactive Freshmen that quiet hours commence at 10 p.m., and hoping that the nightly rounds will be without incident. On one such innocent night, David Skora and I were walking the halls at the UVA. Not two floors in we come up to a door that is reverberating with voices and music. Skora and I look at each other and knock, but to no surprise, there is no answer. We ring the doorbell repeatedly, and suddenly the place goes dead quiet. I kid you not, from inside we hear, "Shhhhh! It's the RAs!" * Bathroom doors open and close (hide!). Cabinets shudder as they are slammed shut (hide the booze!). The front door is barely cracked opened, and one sheepish guy tries telling us that there isn't a problem. After a quick head count, we find that there are twenty-three guests—and all for one resident. The guests filed out the door, but one blonde, drunken guest came back for the phone that she had left behind. Her bulg- ing purse clanked with cans, and Skora asks her to please take out all the beer (eighteen cans). Curse words flowed out of her mouth as seamlessly as the Coors Light flowed into the sink. Our resident director asked me to call UPD, and while I was doing so the belligerent blonde ran off and crouched in some bushes. She was chased by UPD, caught, questioned, and then handed over to a friend. After all the excitement and verbal abuse, Skora and I go on to find five more parties, filled with under-aged drinkers, cursing their being found out. Being a resident advisor doesn't mean that we're out to bust residents—we're looking out for their best interest, their health and safety. We take on this position to make sure that residents get the most out of their college experience, and in the process, we accumulate some hilarious stories. Making an impact C SUSM students reach out to Escondido youth t o work w ith a real l ife situation, instead of the 'what i f scenarios that are created by a text book or a professor that involves a simple Google search. We are interacting and working with real life people and real life situations. Overall its great because we are making a difference in the community while we get a great education." Dr. Sun says the semester project will help the creation and deployment of multimedia to achieve business goals via marketing and communication that requires proficiency in computer graphics, digital audio, digital video, and tools which allows the integration of a variety of file types into a coherent presentation experience. This course will also teach CSUSM students how to work in teams and complete complex projects. The program's overall purpose is to bring out awareness and make a difference in our community. MIS students are making a video to help out, but anyone can get involved. Escondido Impact needs volunteers to help coach and organize events. If students are interested, they can contact Dave Luevanos, at escondidoimpact@ yahoo.com or 760-219-5594. "The announcement regarding today's request for input at the Academic Affairs Town Hall was sent out by the Academic Senate Study Group which is comprised of four faculty members, a student, a student affairs staff member, and an administrator. The Academic Senate Study Group is seeking feedback and input from students, staff and faculty at the Academic Affairs Town Hall." Since other campuses in San Diego like SDSU and USD have ROTC programs, some people find it surprising that a North County campus has not offered this option. "I find it hard to believe, considering the amount of Marines who come through here," said Michael Dominick, who works at the Veteran's Service office at Palomar College. "You would think that with the proximity to the base in Oceanside, one of [the campuses] would have a program set up by now. It confused me when I applied here just coming out of the Marine Corp." So far, not even Mira Costa College, which is located in Oceanside, has offered ROTC courses for any branch of service. The introduction of these courses offers a lot of choices to the Cal State San Marcos campus. If introduced, it could mean a lot of money and funding, for both the physical structures and the academic curriculum. Many more students looking to apply to college could consider Cal State as a wellrounded campus. On the other hand, the conflict between policies cannot be ignored. It also presents a chance for our students to make an impact on the real world. This dispute could act as a microcosm, and whichever way we solve it, will have applications in the real world. CSUSM students are helping students who are less fortunate. Dr. Yi Sun's Multimedia in Business (MIS 427) students are creating a benefit video for Mission School's Soccer Academy. The Mission Soccer Academy, now in its second year, is becoming the Escondido Impact. Escondido Impact is hoping to reach out to less fortunate students and to the entire Mission Park Community with the help of CSUSM's According to Escondido Impact volunteers, the program's main purpose is to help students discover the road to success. Dr. Sun said, "Some of my students have expressed to me that they grew up in a similar environment. I think it's a very noble project. I think what our students are doing is noble, volunteering their free time to help these kids." The program has made an enormous impact on the lives of many kids already. By proving academic support and mentoring, all of the student's involved in the program All of the students have a GPA of a 3.0 or higher. These students had less than a 2.0 average before the program's introduction. Now they cannot wait to get to high school and continue on to college. The benefit video's creation is free of charge. Dr. Sun explains that the program does not receive enough funding to be able to pay for a project like this. "We don't charge. We provide a service and at the same time our students learn from this experience." Carlos Reyes, one of the participating students, said, "It's exciting M IS students. n ow h ave t he m eans t o s ucceed.

The Academic Senate, who will use student feedback from both the meeting and comments submitted online, will address these concerns as they make their decision. "The Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee will make a recommendation whether or not ROTC courses should be offered at CSUSM, and their recommendation goes to the Academic Senate for a vote," said Cathy Baur, Associate Vice President of the Communication department, where the Academic Senate is located. BY GABRIELA MARTINEZ Pride Staff Writer R OTC controversy draws to a close Feb. 24, 2009 - A public forum was held in Markstein Hall during U-hour to take student comments on the ROTC issue on campus. Last week, the Pride featured a story outlining CSUSM's proposal to include ROTC courses along with the standard curriculum. The proposal to add ROTC courses was originally created by the Academic Senate's Curriculum Committee. The issue with this proposal is that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy con- UniversityVoice Photos by Priscilla George/Pride Staff Writer // How do you feel about the preacher here on campus?"

"I have my own beliefs but I would hear them out at least» I think they would be good for someone looking for something to believe in or maybe are unsure." "Personally I avoided him because he made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The way he delivers [his message] should be nicer to people, less intimidating." "I think its cool that in college, people of all difference beliefs can come together. However» I think [he] has not been going about informing people of his religion the right way."

What about the yearly tradition of watching "How the Grinch Stole C hristmas" on C hristmas Eve? For creating such a staple in American pop c ulture, most c ouldn't even recall the f ull name of the man behind these iconic c haracters and children's books. Even Google changed its faceplate this past Monday, March 2, to honor the b irthday and legacy of the late Theodor ' Ted" Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. The Random House website dedicated to all things Seuss related, Seussville.com, contains a c olorful biography on the author. Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Geisel credited his mother f or his famous rhyming technique. His mother, who worked in a pie bakery in her youth, used to chant the pie names to customers and in t urn, would use the same chants like nursery rhymes to calm Geisel when he had trouble sleeping. For someone who w rote such moralistic c hildren's stories, Geisel's early y ears as a college student not so i nnocent. Geisel a ttended D artmouth College *and*-was. * editor- i n chief for their humor magazine, "Jack-oLantern." D artmouth however, revoked his position Image courtesy of Wikipedia Oxford University awarded him a fellowship. His father was so excited that he told their local newspaper to report the story. Geisel then confessed that Oxford denied his fellowship and his f ather had to round up his savings to send to Oxford anyways. While attending Oxford with intentions to become a professor, classmate Helen Palmer noticed Geisel doodling during class. She told him that he should become an artist instead of a professor. Geisel took the advise to heart and pursued his career in art and w hen he was caught t hrowing a party created cartoon style t raining f ilms for the U.S. Army. A fter the war, Geisel continued publishing his cartoons in various magazines but he also had a desire to write as well. His f irst few attempts were met with rejection or little acclaim. " The Cat in the H at" gave Geisel notability and skyrocketed his career as a children's book writer and illustrator. Some of his other famous books include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "Hop on Pop," and "Horton Hears a W ho!" Geisel died in San Diego, CA on September 24, 1991. In 1995, UCSD renamed its University Library Building, Geisel Library in his honor. This past December, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Geisel in the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History, Women, and the A rts in Sacramento.

The Programming Council includes departments such as Associated Students, Inc., Athletics, The Clarke Field House/University Student Union, Student Health & Counseling Services, Student Life & Leadership, University Village Apartments, among others. One of the main purposes of the Programming Council is to come together to develop a calendar showcasing student events that connect to the campus. Recently, three students, Emily Rehm, Nicholas Stein and Sean Richards started to collaborate with the Programming Council to feature a brand new student news show that presents campus events. Cougar News Network (CNN) is CSUSM's student news show. Rehm, Stein, and Richards currently work for CNN. Rehm and Stein both anchor the news show under the personalities of Locksley Choz and Dusty Butterworks. While Richards, as Jet Michaels, mainly reports on campus events. CNN is currently doing a monthly episode featuring highlights around campus life. The Pride had the opportunity to interview two of CNN stars, Dusty Butterworks and Jet Michaels.

The graphic novel inspired film "Watchmen" hits theaters this week and is the only film going to wide release. It appears other films makers Arts & Entertainment are not willing to challenge this film that the media has publicized for the past several months. Originally, movie makers-thought "Watchmen" tq be "un-filmable" because of its darker elements, yet fans of the comic books, which debuted in the mid-1980s, will get to see the film adaptation. The movie is a film adaptation of the tales of comic book super heroes. Unlike the typical Batman or Spiderman film version, "Watchmen" is dark and filled with violence and sex. Director Zach Snyder is responsible for other films based on graphic novels, such as "300." With him behind the reigns, I Tuesday; March 0 3, 2 009 expect a bloody, action-packed, and visually stunning film. The film promises to be entertaining for those who have not read the comic book as well. The story is about a group of superheroes seeking revenge for the death of a colleague set in a different version of society in 1985. Other than that, there is ntft much to say about the h andful of limited release films debuting this week. There are two foreign films, "12" and "Tokyo!," which might appeal to the artloving crowd. "12" has earned awards and acclaim, but may be too serious for the average filmgoer. The huge comic book fan base and slick advertising campaign will put "Watchmen" on top of 7 the box office. It has the potential to make a tremendous amount of money. Image courtesy of Warner Bros. W hat to see on DVD A post Valentine's D ay hangover BY BLAINE MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It is strange how t hings work out. On the week celebrating St. Valentines, no movies were in the queue that r eflected the h eart of the moment. T his week delivers broken h earts and broken people. Well, mostly j ust broken men. A fter watching these f ilms, I began to wonder, 'Are we men as a species truly so d efective?' While most women would likely answer yes, Tmly a t ruly h onest man would answer the same. So let's take a deeper look at this week's DVD selections f eaturing love and men at their worst. "My Name Is Bruce." This film stars cult movie star Bruce Campbell. Bruce does pretty much anything other than mainstream Hollywood fare. Bruce is the glue that holds together campy productions. His work ranges from the "Evil D ead" trilogy to cult classic television with "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and h is own spin off of these shows "Jack of All Trades." He then he goes back to the big screen fighting mummies as Elvis Presley in "Bubba-HoTep." In this film Bruce portrays himself. J eff, one of Bruce's biggest fans, removes , a talisman f rom a m ineshaft entrance and in the process releases the dreaded Bean Curd Demon. Taylor Sharpe in his first movie role plays J eff, and fills the role j ust fine. With no idea where to t urn, or who to t urn to, Jeff kidnaps Bruce and drives him back to his small town in the middle of nowhere. J eff's mother Grace, played right in tune with the production by Grace Thorsen, is Bruce's foil and love interest. She exposes whatever flaw's there are in Bruce that he didn't already expose. As lightweight as this film is, the overall experience is a f un time. If you are a Bruce Campbell fan, you will have f un. If not, you'll probably have a good time too. What to See *** "My Best Friend's Girl." This f ilm opens in such a vile and o ffensive m anner that it openly dares you to t urn it o ff. Watching Dane Cook as the cretin lead character Sherman " Tank" Turner, you have to wonder how m ankind has survived. Tank is the foulest, r udest, boisterously s elf-centered, egotist to walk the f ace of the E arth. The f ilm dares you to stick it out, and I took the dare. The s ofter side of this f ilm was captured by the lovely Kate Hudson, in the role of Alexis. Alexis is not p erfect, she is not looking for love, and she is (over)actively being pursued by Dustin, played by Jason Biggs, Tank's cousin and roommate. Alexis has no romantic interest in Dustin at all. Although Dustin pursues heavily, it is to n o avail. It is time to call in Tank, the AntiHitch.Where Witt Smith would train men to be b etter men to win the girl, Tank is the t rain wreck that shows the girl how good her no good b oyfriend is. Nicely done is the typecasting of Alec Baldwin as Tank's father, who is a Professor of Women's Studies at the University. A well played ironic twist. This movie j ust happens to be a rollercoaster ride that delivers a rewarding experience. What to See, if you dare *** "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People," s tarring Simon Pegg.

BY MATT LEWIS Pride Staff Writer When the word "guerilla" is heard, it often conjures up images of war, violence, and sabotage. To use it to describe art and performance is not typically what springs to people's minds. However, a student run organization on campus called Dagnabit Productions is looking to change that. This organization is comprised of students who participate in Photos courtesy ofAriette Rosenbaum improvisational presentations. In these showings, they exhibit performance art and illustrations on campus. Their first performance, which took place last Tuesday in the dome, involved the members freezing in place for five f ull minutes at 12:30. Exactly five minutes later, they all began their normal routines once again. While impromptu performances like this may be interesting to watch and also create conversation, why would students do this? "Our goal is to promote performance, art and creativity on campus and to create a sense of community amongst the art students" said Arielle Rosenbaum, the organizer of the group. "We welcome all ideas about how to f urther the arts at CSUSM, from performance and art installations to political statements. Our group is mostly made up of art students, but we welcome students from all majors". With so many students walking around campus Photos courtesy ofArielle Rosenbaum with tunnel vision, why shouldn't things be shaken up a bit? This past Thursday, the group had her baby.

She felt herself shaking, small tremors encasing her body with an overwhelming sense of fear and anticipation. One trembling hand glided down the curve of her back and she arched back into its touch with an equally uneasy sigh. She moaned again as it settled on her hip, Edward's ghostly touch holding her steady. She heard herself moan Edwards name as he pushed into her, hips rising after the sensation, there was no discomfort just a rapid spreading glow. Bella felt the mattress shift as Edward climbed up behind her. Both of Edward's hands gripped Bella's hips, Bella felt the tremors running through Edward's body as he aligned himself. Bella felt an answering shudder in her own as Edward entered her. Bella felt the heat rise in the swell of her back as she pushed to meet Edward, eager and wanting, each met need only igniting a further desire. I've yet to determine whether it is of greater benefit for me to plug unknown musicians or just talk about who I want, famous or otherwise. Should I feel a moral inclination to promote starving artists with indiscernible smidgens of talent to equally starving college students? Well, probably, but what do I care if an album sells? I know I don't need to worry about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's Records in Encinitas delivered a rack promising her latest album, Changing of the Seasons. I should mention that the rack was empty. Ane Brunvoll, better known as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian singer/songwriter and co-founder of DetErMine Records with The Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She didn't take up music until she was about 21 years old, and she released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan,fiveyears later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European spotlight, garnering speed as it crossed the Atlantic and landed in America. Not until her third studio release, Changing of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond. Photo courtesy ofJosephArthur.com I should be surprised to have seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment sold out in this little corner of the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you might see in faces of green musi- cians on the streets playing for anyone who will* listen. But she's good. Think Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity. The album'sfirsttrack, "The Treehouse Song," is made of organic acoustics with a tempo guaranteed to induce some head nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and bassline. Her clean soprano is rich with vibrato and layered harmonies, breathing a story of a lost lover's dream. As simple as Brun's compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their otherworldly business is finished. I should label Ane Brun as an Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of collecting some street cred. I should wonder who bought those albums at Lou's, and if they realized what they bought. So, is she famous? Maybe not, but she should be.

"No Edward, don't stop," Bella forced her muscles to relax, pushed back a little, moaning again as she pressed herself against Edward. Bella smiled and rocked forward onto her knees a little, letting Edward slide from her body before slamming back against her, both of them moaning in tandem. "Don't need gentle," she breathed, arching her back intensifying each slide and thrust. She picked up the pace, rocking herself onto Edward until she felt his hand return to her hip, holding her in place as Edward took over. Edward's other hand stroked up Bella's spine tracing the lines of her back and intertwining themselves in a net of tangled locks. Bella felt her legs buckling as her climax built, low in her pelvis, a warm sensuous flame rising driven on by each relentless thrust inside her, lifting her to greater heights. She heard herself screaming, the headboard snapped under Edward's strength. They collapsed to the bed together and Bella turned in Edward's arms to lay her head in the crook of his neck.

XXI NO. 6 N e w University Student Union to enhance campus life Feedback from students to benefit the final product BY DIANA VALDIVIA Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is a relatively new campus that continues to grow in many aspects. One of the aspects that the university is taking into consideration is the planning and construction of a new student union. The University Student Union is currently located in the Clarke Field House. The overall purpose of a new University Student Union is to strengthen a sense of community and enhance campus life. A new University Student Union would give students a greater space for programming, student centers, student government offices, and gathering spaces. It would also include retail and food services. Last spring, the university conducted survey methods to see how students felt about building a new student union. In more than 1,200 online surveys completed by students, 16 intercept interviews, and focus groups consisting of 51 students: approximately 34% see it as a very high priority for CSUSM to construct a new University Student Union, about 30% think of it as a high priority, and only 3% believed it is a very low priority for CSUSM. Last December, President Haynes approved alternative consultation for the advisory process of building a new University Student Union. Alternative consultation is one of the two options for building a new University Student Union. The other option would be to conduct a referendum. The same month the Student Fee Advisory Committee reviewed the information and a presentation of the concept of building a new University Student Union. The alternative consultation includes a bigger opportunity for students' input. It is currently offering open forums for general student body, faculty, and staff. There are also specific forums for ASI Board of Directors, University Student Union Advisory Board, presidents and treasurers of student organizations, Orientation Team, and Student Affairs Leadership Team. The alternative consultation also includes online forms students can fill out to voice their opinions and give feedback. During the rest of February and versity Student Union Task Force March, the advisory process will Members.

This June, President Haynes will review the report and make afinaldecision. The development of the new University Student Union will be in two phases. Phase I would be around 58,576 sq. ft. and have a price tag of about $50 million. Student fees willfund almost $47 jnillion and more than $3 million will come from vendors. The new building would include ,jpod services such as a coffee shop, dining, a convenience jtore, and three of six fast food con; cepts. It would g|so house conference and meetiiig ìooms, student areas, ASI offices, Student Life and Leadership, the Cross Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the Pride Center, among others. The University Student Union would open fall 2013. The Clarke is almost 34,400 sq ft. The projected building for phase I of the University Student Union would be more than 58,500 sq. ft. Phase II would be more than 85,800 sq. ft. and cost approximately $70 million. Phase II will depend on the availability of funds, the success of Phase I, and third party funding. It would consist of more food services, conference and meeting rooms, student lounges, and student union offices. Other centers in Phase II would include the Veteran's Center and a Commuter Student Center. The existing student union fee of$65 would be used to fundPhase Courtesy of CSUSM Planning, Design & Construction I. In thèfiscalyear 2010/2011 the | r previously approved fee would increase to $80. There are arguments from both sides supporting the fee proposal and against the fee proposal. One of the arguments that support the fee proposal is that this new student union will create opportunities for student employment, campus involvement, and leadership development. Another positive aspect is that it gives the campus more venues to study, and both formal and informal spaces for meeting and dining. Some students argue that they will no longer be at the campus when the University Student Union opens in 2013 and do not see the sense in paying for a building they will not be able to use. Hand adds the students would be able to have a sense of pride, "they are going to able to look back and say 'I contributed to that.'" Quinn explains that it is a great way for students to leave a mark, "it is an opportunity to leave a legacy." A similar situation occurred with the construction of The Clarke when students approved an increase in fees even though they would not use it.

I'll say that Phelps should not become a victim of a modern day witch hunt, but he deserves his punishment. Having won eight gold medals, he thrust himself into the limelight. Essentially, he should be held to higher standards, to a higher creed. Luckily, the Richland Country S herriff's Department concluded that there was not enough evidence to file charges. And I think that to come out and admit his mistake was high in character on his behalf. He should be allowed to attend the 2012 Olympics. Although he screwed up, he does not deserve to be banished from the Olympics. He made us all look brainless to the rest of the world. To Phelps I say, focus on what you do best.

The Dream Act, a bipartisan legislation, will provide a legal path to residency for children of undocumented aliens. The California Faculty Association sponsored an open forum on Thursday, February 12 to a standing room only crowd. The forum, titled Underground Undergrads, featured student speakers from UCLA. Sophia Carranza, a UCLA student/Intern for Underground Undergrads, brought the audience to tears as she told the heartrending story of how she discovered, at age 18, she was not a citizen. Carranza is a member of an ever-growing group of young people who want to become citizens, but are technically illegal aliens subject to deportation. Many of these students hang their hopes on the "Dream Act." Matias Ramos, Intern for UCLA Labor Center, explained that the speakers were undocumented students who were "working to expand awareness of the life of undocumented students and promote passage of the Dream Act. We go to high schools and community colleges and tell students about their opportunities in higher education. We also network with other organizations like Espiritu here at CSUSM." The Espiritu de Nuestro Futuro goal is to provide support and networking opportunities to AB 540 students. Governor Davis signed AB 540, a law that allows undocumented students in California community and state college systems to attend college without paying non-residency fees, in 2001. One requirement of AB 540 is that the student must file an application for residency. "I have been in the process for years... my whole family has been in the process... it just takes so long," Carranza responded when asked about her application status. "Some of my top students are AB 540," said Espiritu faculty advisor Silverio Haro. "[For them] there is no retreat, it is full steam ahead." Ramos hopes that the Dream Act will finally pass with Obama as President. He Tuesday; February said there are many undocumented students and graduates who are just waiting for their chance to become citizens and make a difference. "We consider ourselves Americans," Ramos stated. Public education was established in the 1700s as the primary means to create a more informed and capable citizen who could contribute to the betterment of the country. That is one reason the law mandates people attend school. So if a person completes high school and is in good standing with the law, should that not be sufficient to declare you a citizen? And if you go on to college, and work to improve your community, shouldn't that be sufficient? Why is being bora here the major prerequisite to citizenship?

In a mass e-mail received by much of the student body, CSUSM administration informed everyone that a proposal had been made that the school start offering Army ROTC courses. Like the ROTC programs of many surrounding high schools, military personnel would set classrooms and campus areas aside for pre-military training and education. Some see the ROTC's presence as beneficial to the campus. "The presence of the ROTC means a lot more people on campus, and could bring a lot of potential students to our school" said Joan Anderson, an NWP teacher consultant at Cal State. However, the main problem lies in the military's stance on sexual orientation conflicting with the campus's policy of non-discrimination. In response to this, the school's Academic Senate started a study group to determine students' opinions on the matter. "The goal of the study group is to gauge public opinion and deliberate on the subject; no more, no less," said Don Barrett, the co-chair of the appointed study group. The LBGT group on campus has also taken a neutral stance on this issue. "Because there are so many conflicting opinions between members, we don't have a strong stance ill either direction." Because of the complex issues involved with this conflict of interest, it is hard for many on campus to take a decisive stance. Since Image courtesy ofgoarmy.com CSUSM is such a diverse campus, students who have classes together or work side-by-side are finding it hard to oppose someone who they only disagree with on one issue. While other California State schools like Fullerton and Fresno have ROTC, the fact is that CSUSM is also only a quarter as old as they are. The same goes for other local campuses, like USD, which does not really have this kind of conflict. They are, on paper anyway, a catholic university. SDSU however, has an Army and Navy ROTC program in addition to being a non-discriminatory campus. Could this formula work at CSUSM as well? Whatever decision happens, it will definitely have an effect on campus. Establishing an ROTC program will have conflictions with CSUSM students who want to be a part, but are discriminated against because of the military's policy. On the other side of the coin, however, an ROTC program will bring more students and funding to CSUSM. In addition, it would get our campus one step closer to extinguishing the idea that we are a "commuter school" that is not comparable with the other San Diego college campuses. The decision will ultimately be left up to the student body on whether or not the program will pass. A public forum town hall meeting will take place on February 24 from 12:00 12:50 pm, in Markstein Hall 125. Since it takes place during U-Hour, students will be able to attend this meeting and have the opportunity to make their opinions known. If this issue is believed to be either beneficial or not for the campus, take this chance to make a change.

"Yeah, because it's for more collectiveness of the students, I don't think we have enough going on to get students together, Everyone just comes to class and goes to class. It would be a better way to get everybody together and have events and whatnot." "I would be willing to pay just because I think it 's for a good cause.

Bad Religion's frontman, Greg G raffin, may not look like a brain, but underneath his punk rock shell, he is a man of science. The title of his PhD Zoology thesis: "Monism, Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology," concentrated on prehistoric evolution, with a philosophical emphasis on the dynamics between evolution and religion. G raffin worked as the principal investigator with the Cornell University Evolution Organization (cornellevolutionproject.org). G raffin also challenged his intellect by becoming a professor at UCLA, he taught Life Science 1. "I believe thoughts and ideas are far more long-lived than fashion. Those are the things that I try to inspire young people to do, whether i t is in the lecture hall or o ajstage on the Warped T oui\ ^aid G raffin in an interview for the "Daily Bruin," the UCLA student newspaper. G raffin wasn't only academ,, ically inclined. In the early days of Bad Religion as an unsigned artist, G raffin took a business risk and started his own record label, Epitaph. Epitaph later fathered other great punk bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, NO FX and Rancid that revolutionized the stale punk era of the 1990s. His music endeavors never cramped his academic style, but instead complimented one another. Bad Religion's 13 Album, "Empire Strikes First," took a very serious and political stance on the U.S. government's reactions to 9/11. Graffin's intellectual charm seeps in the song "Let Them E at War." Nerdy glasses and preppy cardigans really must have helped Cuomo Rivers on the east coast in earning his English Degree at prestigious Harvard University. Lead singer of the garage-band Weezer, Rivers graduated in 2006 after intermittently attending Harvard since 1995 (Spin.com). Lead singer for notorious rock band, The Doors, Jim Morrison was a UCLA graduate and enjoyed making short films. He participated in the School of Theater, Film and Television as he earned his Bachelor's in Theatre Arts, according to UCLA's website. ftexter TSoliand, lead singer for the Offspring took a similar route of academics and musical achievements as Bad Religion's Greg G raffin. Holland studied at USC for his bachelor's in biology in 1988, and two years later earned a Master's in Molecular Biology from USC, according to the "Daily Trojan," USC's daily student newspaper. A fter gaining great musical success with the Offspring's debut album, "Smash," on Epitaph, Holland began his own record label Nitro, which features rockers, A.F.I. American Idol winner of 2005, Carrie Underwood was the f irst country star to come from the hit show. Underwood left to audition for American Idol with only three units left to graduate. She went back to school a year later and completed her degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Journalism, according to People magazine. Brian May, guitarist from the band Queen, studied astrophysics at Imperial College in London, and a fter Queen's great music success, May went back to finish up his PhD in astrophysics. The title of his thesis is "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud." In 2007, May became the chancellor of Liverpool's John Moores University, according to LJMU website.

Lisa Dickinson, Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, says the goal of the program is to help individuals meet their fitness goals and to provide a service to the campus community in a familiar environment. "The student-centered program allows for an excellent work experience opportunity for new and entry-level personal trainers to build their professional skill set while working on campus," Dickinson said. The program consists of three Cal State San Marcos students who are nationally certified personal trainers and Kinesiology majors. Dickinson added that the program plans to add more trainers in the future. Membership in the program requires that students are members of the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union as well as the price of the personal training session or package. Current matriculated students are automatically members after paying the university, student union fee when tuition is paid. Others, such m ^ ^ m y ^ m f f ; and alumni can be members once they pay a membership fee. The membership fee changes depending on the method of payment and membership type. Once a member, enrollment in the program requires students to sign up by completing a series of forms, such as a contract and health questionnaire, an initial consultation with the personal trainer, and payment for the sessions or package. Information about the program, including forms, personal trainer profiles, and the fee schedule can be found at http://www.csusm.edu/ theclarke/clarkept/rates.html. Gracie DelMar, a current student at Cal State San Marcos, had her first personal training session and consultation on February 3. DelMar said this was her first experience having a personal training session because "it's too expensive" in other gyms she has visited. The motivation factor and flexibility of the trainer's schedules is one of the additional benefits of the program, DelMar said. Since the personal trainers are also students, their schedules of availability vary. The Clarke Field House/University Student Union is open as late as 10 p.m. on most weeknights, convenient for those students who may want to train late after classp^IMMar added that sh£ is haf personal trainer Weston. "He has helped me with my form, and shown me how to exercise properly and taken into consideration my goals and helping me work towards those goals," said DelMar. Cal State University San Marcos student Weston Ryan is a kinesiology major with an emphasis in pre-physical therapy, and certified personal trainer. Kinesiology is the study of human movement and the major at CSUSM includes four concentrations to choose from. Ryan is a freshman who passed his certified personal trainer exam with the National Exercise Trainer's Association (NETA) in the fall of 2008. Although only a freshmen, Ryan is very involved on campus. He is a member of CSUSM's Track and Field, the Cross Country Team, recently pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and aspires to be a physical therapist in the future. Ryan's inspiration for what he does is helping others and contributing to their health and fitness success. "Most important is being able to help people and improve the lives of others," Ryan said. Ryan sees the new Certified Personal Training Program at CSUSM as a great benefit. The flexible hours, state-of-the-art facility, experienced mentors, and the ability to develop professionally are some of the reasons that the program is so great, Ryan explained.

The drinks have varied flavors (the Arnold Palmer is a favorite), are relatively cheap (99 cents for a tall can), and taste a lot less terrible than Powerade. The gimmick ofthe Arizona Beverage company (ironically located in New York and Canada) is that its teas offer a healthy alternative to sodas and contain the all-important buzzword: "antioxidants." While it is true that some teas contain antioxidants that can help prevent certain cancers, technically McDonald's can make the same claim with the tomatoes it puts on its Big Macs. Passing by the usual flavors, the Arizona RX Stress Herbal Iced tea is a little bit harder to find. The unique faded labeling makes the bottles stand out, making them seem more like bottles of oldtimey snake oil than the usual sugar water. The label claims that it is a "refreshing all-natural tonic" but also advises, "This product is a food, not a drug," which seems to be strange claim for a bottled liquid to make. The liquid itself has a dark amber coloration with the consistency of whiskey or apple juice. This was in stark contrast to the bright yellow color of the RX Energy tea, which was, quite frankly, terrifying. The RX drinks (Stress and Herbal) are the only two herbal teas Arizona offers. The main differences between these and the regular teas is that they have significantly less sugar (a 15 gram difference) and instead of having 100% Vitamin C, contain 25% of your daily value of vitamins B6 and B12. In addition, this drink is caffeinefree, which in itself is a miracle to find in almost any other liquid (even water). While drinking, the tea tastes like a balanced battle between the two main ingredients, black tea and green tea. The black tea is definitely present, but the green tea rounds it out with sweetness before a bitter taste is detected. The thing particularly nice about this tea is that it has more the consistency of real teas, and is less syrupy than the regular Arizonas. So, will the RX Stress relieve stress? Perhaps, if being really thirsty stresses you out more than anything. However, in comparison to other drinks that are packed with sugar, caffeine, and bogus supplements, it is the better choice. Containing calming tea ingredients like chamomile and ginseng, it will help you a lot better after a long day of classes than chugging a Monster will. So if you are looking for a refreshing beverage, pick it up. It will not, however, cure your sinus infection. C ougar Kitchen Eat o f the w eek The W orld's Easiest The Money Pit BY JAMES SEBRING Pride Staff Writer The Money Pit is a new drivethru restaurant in San Marcos. Located on the corner of Mission and Bennett Ave a few miles east of CSUSM, it is short trip, even by bike or walking. The owner, Demetri Kellafinos, took over a long deserted bank and turned it into a family run restaurant. Demetri and his son Artemios, 'Arte', built the Money Pit themselves. "We put in every nail, screw, and tile," Arte said. The Money Pit first opened in December 2008, employing about 25 workers. Their motto is "We don't cook the food till you order it." All of the food is prepared in-house and made fresh. The menu runs the gamut from breakfast foods, to burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There is also ice cream and pastries for the sweet tooth. The chocolate shake is thick and chocolaty. Their prices are well within the starving student budget with a full meal available for under $6.00. "We wanted the food to be affordable," Arte said. The whole project speaks to ingenuity and hard work. Arte points out that the tile floor is all recycled tile from the bank or discarded tile chips from local tile stores. The décor is a collage of pictures,filmposters, and real money from the US and other countries as well as monopoly money and poker chips. The old vault door is center stage, with the vault now used for dry storage. Almost all of the film posters refer to money in some fashion: Fist Full of Dollars, The Bank Job, Oceans 11 and others. On the ceiling over the cashier's counter is $250 worth of pennies, "each one of which I put up there with glue," Arte recalled with a slight grimace. The wood tables and benches all have some kind of money under glass. On one table is an old monopoly set that Arte said they used to play with as kids. "We emptied out our garage and shopped the swap meets collecting old automobile James B. Beam Distilling Co. distills and bottles Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Frankfort, Kentucky. Over 200 years ago, the German Boehm family migrated to early America. Through the years the distillery business remained in the family lineage. Officially, the company sold their distillery in 1920 as Prohibition began. In 1933, when Prohibition ended, the company built a new distillery. In 1946, Jim Beam became a global brand. In 2007, Fred Noe III, the founder Jacob Beam's greatgreat-great-great- grandson, took ownership. I'm going to break the third person mode for this article. I know it's tasteless, but this is a tasty treat that my brother and I created two years ago. My brother had recently moved back to California after having lived in Georgia for two years. We were and are very close. Needless to say, when he returned we had a lot of catching up to do. One night we were rummaging through the kitchen. We had a bottle of Jim Beam and some Dr. Pepper. Having grown up with our dad taking oversized jumbo cups of Dr. Pepper to work every day, we had to carry the tradition by always having Dr. Pepper in the home. I broke family tradition and became a Diet Coke drinker but that story is for another time. We can't recall who actually created it. We kind of just looked at each other without saying words. Our inner consciences were talking. He grabbed the Jim Beam, and I the Dr. Pepper. We nicknamed the drink "The Beamer." The rest is Thompson history. To create the pleasantly sweet tasting beverage, fill a cup with three fourths of ice. Add one ounce of Jim Beam per half cup of Dr. Pepper. Let the foam dissipate before enjoying. Try it with Diet Dr. Pepper for fewer calories or switch out Dr. Pepper for Diet Coke and enjoy a "Creamer." For extra pizzazz, add a few slices of peach without the skin for an extravagant delight If serving more than one, refer to them as "The Beam Team." With any alcohol infused occasion exercise caution and license plates and other odds and ends." The Pit appeals to young and old alike with its good food, low prices, interesting décor, and music from the 60s and 70s. Patrons say they like the food, the atmosphere, and easy access with seating inside and out. Demetri came to the US in 1974 from Greece as an undocumented alien. He has worked in the restaurant business for years. His latest dream began to take shape toward the end of 2007 when he finally acquired the old bank. With a year in the planning and getting licensing, and several months rehabilitating the interior, Arte says, "It's nice to see things finally get going and making money."

Contact us at 760-750-6099 or csusmpride@gmail.com California State University San Marcos 'tKnder, University Student Union Student Forums As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20 anniversary, we are exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community. The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility. CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usu/) designed to be both educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.

Should I feel a moral inclination to promote starving artists with indiscernible smidgens of talent to equally starving college students? Well, probably, but what do I care if an album sells? I know I don't need to worry about Ane Brun's album selling. An impromptu trip to Lou's Records in Encinitas delivered a rack promising her latest album, Changing ofthe Seasons. I should mention that the rack was empty. Ane Brunvoll, better known as Ane Brun, is a Norwegian singer/songwriter and co-founder of DetErMine Records with The Tiny's Ellekari Larsson. She didn't take up music until she was about 21 years old, and she released her debut album, Spending Time with Morgan, five years later in 2003. The album catapulted Brun into the European spotlight, garnering speed as it crossed the Atlantic and landed in America. Not until her third studio release, Changing of the Seasons, in 2008, did eyebrows truly raise across the pond. I should be surprised to have seen this bare rack, but I'm not. I know exactly why this independently pressed album's allotment sold out in this little corner of the world. Ane Brun is appealing. She exudes candor like you might see in faces of green musicians on the streets playing for anyone who will listen. But she's good. Think Nick Drake plus Bjork minus the depression and eccentricity. The album's first track, "The Treehouse Song," is made of organic acoustics with a tempo guaranteed to induce some head nods. Shallow drums are the foundation for a reserved strum and bassline. Her clean soprano is rich with vibrato and layered harmo- nies, breathing a story of a lost lover's dream. As simple as Brun's compositions are, they haunt whatever minds they visit until their otherworldly business is finished. I should label Ane Brun as an Indie musician, the kind of musician you casually mention at a show in the hopes of collecting some street cred. I should wonder who bought those albums at Lou's, and if they realized what they bought. So, is she famous? Maybe not, but she should be. Twilight: A N ight Beneath the Midnight Sun Part 2 : Bella's Perspective BY KEVIN CHATHAM Pride Staff Writer "Off," Bella heard the words escape her mouth; surprised by the authority of her own voice. "I'm not afraid," Edward breathed, moving Bella's hands to his shirtfront, careful to graze his buttons with her fingertips. "I want you Bella, I want all of you." Bella felt her breath increase, her pulse race, and her thoughts scatter like vapor. She watched Edward peel off his shirt, revealing a torso of immortalized stone - a perfect taut body all dusted with fine, bronze hair in all the right places. Bella watched the last rays of twilight hit Edward's alabaster skin. He glittered, briefly, the soft diamond reflections danced wildly around him before dissipating into the darkness. "I love you Bella," Edward whispered, his voice sending chills down Bella's neck. Then they kissed again; less desperate this time, gentle and exploring. Bella arched up onto her toes, her body rising with passion. She pushed her hands into Edward's chest, fingers spread to touch as much of him as she possible. When the kiss broke Bella started to mouth a path down Edward's body, cataloguing every contour of his flawless physique. She scraped a fingernail over a tiny erect nipple, evoking a gasp of pleasure that made Edward shudder aloud. Then she moved her mouth across his chest using her tongue expertly, teasing the soft strands of hair there. Bella felt Edward's strong hands ripping her clothes off, she heard herself sighing his name as he ripped apart what remained of Her clothing and his own. There they stood motionless, heat emanating from their tense bodies. "I love you Edward," she answered finally, as the couple descended onto a bed that smelled distinctly of Edward Cullen, a kind of aromatic masculinity. Edward's lips were full and strong, alternately nudging and tugging on Bella's lower lip. Edward's tongue, tentative atfirst,was sliding deep into Bella's mouth. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," he whispered, drawing shudders of pleasure from Bella from both his words and the ghostly touches of his fingertips as the skated across her inner thighs. Bella answered back with a deep kiss, pressing Edward deeper into the bed and into a sea of pillows. She licked a long wet path up Edward's inner thigh, smiling to herself at the gasps from above. She couldn't wait any more, couldn't tease, unable to draw out the anticipatory phase. She heard Edward's sharp intake of breath as she moved in. Hands clumsily found her head, tangling themselves in her hair as she started to move, encouraging but never overwhelming her motions. She felt him tremble below her, his body moving involuntarily. Bella felt the hands in her hair tighten and knew Edward was close. Then she realized that Edward's hands weren't tightening in her hair, they were trying to pull her away. Bella complied, moving away to meet his gaze. "Not yet..." Edward whispered moving above her. As the words left his lips Bella couldn't help but notice the tiny foil square between his fingers, and the devilish grin painted across Edward's face. CALLING ALL WRITERS!

ROTC students want to end SDSU trips B Y K ATUN SWEENEY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Students currently enrolled in ROTC must travel 60 miles round-trip f rom CSUSM to SDSU to take the appropriate classes, which has sparked the debate over whether military science courses should be offered on campus. A favorable vote f rom the Academic Senate would allow ROTC members, as well as any students interested in the subject material, to take military science courses at CSUSM. The classes would focus on leadership skills while having military principals. Students can participate in ROTC at CSUSM, however the courses that are required for them to take are cross-enrolled through SDSU. ROTC students are required to commute to San Diego on Tuesdays for an outdoors leadership lab and on Thursdays f or work in the classroom. The program is extremely time intensive, some participants commuting up to four times a week f or extra train- ing to help them excel. Proponents for military science courses say that making them available at CSUSM will save ROTC members currently driving to SDSU on a weekly basis drastic amounts of time and money. In the case of former ROTC member-Jeff Gutowski, commuting to San Diego cost him $2000 a semester in gas. While financial aid was able to help with the expenses, Gutowski says that many members have to drop out of the program because they cannot afford the gas on their own.A student that wants to complete the ROTC program must finish it within .four years, or five years if they have an approved special major. This adds an even greater sense of urgency for students to build the rest of their class schedule around when the ROTC courses they need are offered. However, students must also graduate with a college degree in order to ensure that they meet all qualifications necessary for pursuing a job in the armed forces post-graduation. ROTC participants performing color guard at the Cougar baseball game. They w ork hard inside and outside of the classroom t o obtain their college degree and establish experience and understanding, while participating in military training. This image and more can be found at http://csusnrwrmyrotc.weebly.com/. "I had to quit because I didn't have enough time to graduate, and because of the cost factor," Gutowski said. " I'm such an advocate [of ROTC] because it is such a good program. It teaches you things you can't get around school. But some students have to be down to SDSU by 6 a jn. They are there for three hours and then have to rush back to CSUSM for a 10:15 class, and are on campus as late as 8 p.m. so that they can get the rest of their classes they need. The commute limits their ability to actually invest in the program." David Casas, who has stayed in the program and still commutes to SDSU on a regular basis, echoed similar sentiments about how the time and financial burden have negatively impacted his experience. Casas, who graduates this semester, is working towards a career in the Air Force. "To compete, you have to put in extra time and effort to your responsibilities and take the initiative to get them done. The day you join, you're in charge of people. Learning to manage people requires a lot of face time, so I have be there for three hours, twice a week," Casas said. "It's a lot of management right off the back. And you have to make sure that you yourself are competitive so that you can work towards a career as a pilot, nurse, or any other professional career you want. You have to promote yourself so that they see that you are worth the Air Force's dollar f or them to invest in you." Critics of having military science courses on campus argue that integrating them into the university course catalogue would be a step in the wrong direction. Opponents say that the military's message of bloodshed and violence are not as productive on a college campus as offering nonmilitary and diplomatic solutions. "[CSUSM] has a different purpose for our existence. We are not about military engagements. I 'm always sympathetic to students of how difficult it is to piece together work, classes, family and personal time. It's not that I totally don't hear that issue," Sociology Dept. Chair, Dr. Sharon Elise, said. "But that's not what the CSU means or what we came here to build. This is the people's university and we can show people other options they (Military science continued on page 2). Political Corner Health care law changes point to college students B Y SARAH HUGHES NEWS EDITOR Recent changes involving health care have many concerned and. questioning, but information regarding the Affordable Care Act may look different depending on whether one is a student or the supporter of a large family. Under the Affordable Care Act, everyone must enroll for health insurance or pay a fee as of Jan. 2014. The fee is scheduled to increase. The 2014 annual penalty is $95 for the individual, with up to a family maximum of $285 or 1 percent of the family income, whichever is greater. The 2016 annual penalty is extended to $695 M I NEXT ISSUE M ar 5 , 2 0 1 3 for the individual, with up to a family maximum of $2,085 or 2.5 percent of the family income, whichever is greater. In three years time, that is a $600 increase for the individual without health insurance. Though the pre-paid student health- fee allows enrolled CSUSM students to receive free basic services for colds, physical exams, cryotherapy, biopsies, immunizations and other ailments, it is not health insurance. "You do not need health insurance to utilize Student Health and Counseling Services. However, supplemental health insurance is strongly recommended . . . We strongly urge you to maintain health insur-, ance," Student Health and Counseling's information on health insurance states. The Student Health and Counseling Services page has links f or applying for health insurance through CSUSM and information about it. If a student is covered by their parents' insurance, they don't need to get it through CSUSM. Covered CA lists the Affordable Care Act's changes for customers as "more health insurance options," "protection for consumers," "fines f or no coverage," "affordable coverage and financial assistance," "increased coverage" and "what businesses will need to do." ."All health insurance plans (not counting most plans sold before March 10,2010) must provide health insurance for individuals and their, families | even if someone has a health condition such as diabetes or asthma. That health insurance cannot be dropped if someone gets sick," Covered CAsaidi If one follows the CSUSM Student Health and Counseling Services health insurance page, they will see a list of available policies provided through Wells Fargo Insurance Services. The insurance options are based on whether a student is a U.S. Citizen, an International student or other options. A domestic student who is a U.S. citizen can get health insurance through Anthem Blue Cross with a deductible of $250 per insured person, or $750 per family. The available student dental plan is $196 for the annual rate, covering Sept. 1, 2013 to Sept. 1, 2014. It i s also run through Anthem Blue Cross. Eligible enrollees for the domestic campus medical plan must meet certain requirements. "Regularly matriculated students who are enrolled in nine or more credit hours or registered graduate students are eligible to enroll. All eligible students must have paid fees to the University, and be actively attending classes on main campus," according to the Student Health'Insurance Domestic Medical Plan flyer available through the Student Health and Counseling Services link. If a student does not have insurance through a parent and can't afford the campus policies, they may qualify for Medi-Cal. "Covered California will help individuals and families determine whether they may get federal financial assistance that will cut the cost of health insurance or whether they qualify for free health insurance through MediCal," Covered CA said. Insurance plans are prohibited from placing lifetime limits on coverage. Other changes seem aimed to help students obtaining insurance through school plans. "If you are on a school plan and undergo a severe medical issue, you'll be covered no matter how high your medical costs are," USA Today reported. Changes to health care are numerous, but whether a family's breadwinner or an individual, it's clear the affordable care act means all students and adults must enroll in health insurance soon. �2 News Editor: Sarah Hughes cougarchron.news@gmail.com N EWS T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, F EB 1 9 , F rontiers in S cience Lectures to shecl light on cancer cause and treatments B Y RYAN DOWNS STAFF WRITER Every year, the science faculty on campus work together to provide an event series meant to spread the word about the latest innovations from scientific minds, and Spring 2014 is no different. For the upcoming semester, the Department of Physics is debuting a lecture series called "Frontiers in Science" in celebration of such innovations, which kicked off on Feb. 6 and will continue through May 1. Each lecture focuses on a different matter in the forefront of science, covering topics from disease, to food, to the Internet. An expert in that very field is scheduled to speak at each lecture. One vital subject the lectures will cover are discoveries related to treating cancer. . The series kicked off last week with "The Targeted Delivery of Chemotherapeutics to Tumors," with Dr. Dowdy Jackson, the Principal Scientist/Assistant Director at Agensys. Jackson has worked with companies at the forefront of the development of pharmaceuticals, meant to combat cancer. During the lecture, he described the process of enabling the body's antibodies to target cancerous cells within the body with impressive preju- dice; allowing the treatment to reach the harmful cells without damaging too many of the healthy ones. This treatment, which has recently begun adoption at medical centers, helps deal with some of the more harmful side effects of chemotherapy. Dr. Jackson was keen to remind that the company and its scientists are still working on a litany of projects using similar technology. "It's one of the exciting new breakthroughs for cancer patients," Jackson said. "There's two [treatments] already out there, but there's a whole lot we've been developing right now that are making their way through the pipeline." However, Jackson is just one of the many experts who can be expected this series, which continues on Feb. 27 with a lecture on "Social Media Helping Global Disaster Response (in 140 Characters or Less)" with Dr. Eric Frost, in Arts 240. The rest of the lectures will be held during UHour in Science Hall 2, Room 242. Tim i'ntwi*-^ ftetimmi « i » i s.

The event was held Thursday, Feb. 6, in an Event Pavillion set up in Lot N. The report discussed the achievements of the students, faculty and programs. Haynes presented many stories of successful students to, illustrate the impact of CSUSM programs. The fuschia-suited Haynes began with a recap of how CSUSM has grown under her leadership since her start Feb. 1, 2004. About the struggle to become a modern education model during a recession, Haynes said, "Could any of us have imagined how far, how fast we have come?" To illustrate CSUSM's growth, Haynes went through a list of what had doubled ' and increased at CSUSM in her time as President. The student population has increased from 6,000 to 12,000 according to Haynes. Buildings have doubled from 10 to 20. Academic Degree Offerings have increased from 27 to 58. Athletic teams have more than doubled. The Alumni has grown from 13,000 to 35,000. The employees at CSUSM has increased from 700 to 1,900. The endowment has been raised from $10 million to $20 million. An endowment is the total amount of money or property donated and invested for a university. There are rules for how it's utilized and it mainly goes to aiding students. "Over a three-year period, $143 million in new endowment gifts has been added to endowments throughout the (Military science continued from page 1). have besides being trained in the art of killing. How does that fit with what I do as a faculty member?" The Cougar Chronicle recently surveyed 240 students about their opinion of military science courses and whether or not they should be allowed on campus. An overwhelming majority was found in favor of Army ROTC, and many participants were open to military science courses being offered on campus.

Collectively, CSU institutions distributed nearly $32 million from endowment in support of student scholarships, faculty research and academic programs. Endowment investments gained an average 20.38t% percent in 2010-2011, recovering much of the losses incurred from 2007-2009," the 2010/11 Philanthropic Annual Report on calstate. edu stated. Haynes' speech addressed goals CSUSM is working towards, including more campus space and the desire to improve educational rates in the region. "Riverside and San Diego counties are among a handful of counties in California that have experienced a moderate or even robust growth in high school graduates," Haynes said. "However, the statistics show that most of the growth is in populations not expected to go past high school, if that far. Statistics also indicate that California will be short one million college educated workers by 2025." Hayne's goal to increase educational rates in the area is tied closely for her with persons who are atriskof not graduating college. Haynes touched on the Ace dollars service program for former foster youths, as well as other vital causes. "We now educate more former foster youth per capita than any institution in the United States," Haynes said. Former foster children appear to face incredible odds and disadvantages that affect their ability to obtain a college education. "Surveys report that there there was no unanimous agreement to either entity. Out of 240 students, 201 participants answered that they were very or somewhat familiar with Army ROTC, whereas 39 participants were not at all familiar. 213 participants answered that they thought there should be an Army ROTC program on campus, 5 participants were opposed to it and 20 participants did not feel informedenough to answer. When asked about their familiarity with military science courses, 103 participants answered that they had heard of these classes, 70 participants had taken them in the past and 66 partici- pants were not familiar with military science courses at all. After receiving a brief definition of what military science courses are, 110 participants said that they would be interested in taking the courses, 56 participants answered that the classes were of no interest and 73 participants said they would want to learn more information about them before deciding. Finally, participants were asked if they would be opposed to other CSUSM students taking military science courses. 232 participants answered that they were not opposed, and seven participants answered that they were opposed. Two students chose to comment on the last question, one participant stating that they were neither for nor against military science courses because there had not been sufficient communication and information provided about the classes. "We have enough military all around the world. Plus, we're in the Marines' backyard. I hope CSUSM is one place the students can get away from military influence. As a veteran, I see this as propaganda," the other anonymous survey participant wrote. The Academic Senate is comprised of approximately 50 members, ranging from faculty to administrators to are 500,000 foster youth in the United States. Even though 70 percent of them desire a college experience, most age out of foster care only to find themselves illprepared and unsupported for success: 65 percent become homeless, 20 percent are arrested or incarcerated, and less than two percent graduate from college," CSUSM Steps Magazine stated, in an article referencing the scholarships. Students walking up Craven Drivé may have recently "noticed signs for a "Report to the Community" and/or emails from the Office of Communications. Many of these messages were an effort to inform them of the President's annual Report to the Community. Though the report has come and gone, it can still be viewed through watching the video versions available online in a 34 minute version and a five minute summary posted on the days after the speech. students. The diverse range of opinions about military science will be the crucial deciding factor in whether they will vote for or against bringing the courses to campus. "The Academic Senate at CSUSM will hold a discussion about ROTC on campus sometime this spring. We value, and will take into account, student opinion when we hold our discussion," Academic Senate Chair, Dr. Vivienne Bennett, said. "We will use the responses to this survey as a measure of student interest and support for or opposition to ROTC and/ or military science courses on campus." �Sports Editor: Justin Donner cougarchron.sports@gmaii.com Basketball playoff excitement nears Men's basketball looking t o capitalize on near perfect season. T here is one more home game for the Cougars this season. Photo montage of the February 11 game provided by Anne Hall. B Y JUSTIN DONNER SPORTS EDITOR The student union is the "poster child" of rapid growth for the CSUSM campus, and men's basketball is the same for the athletic department. It may be time for the administration to put combining the two into full throttle and build an arena on campus for.the team to play in for their home games. • The Cougars practice at a local Boys and Girls Club right up the street from campus. Their home games are not really at home, but they are around 12 miles away at MiraCosta College of Oceanside. This is a small facility with a large Spartan logo, the community college's mascot, painted at center court. At first, it sounds like the recipe for a mediocre program but that couldn't be further from the truth. With only three years of existence, the Cougars are currently No. 1 in the NAIA national rankings, own a 27-1 overall record and have the longest current winning streak in NAIA Division I with 18. When asked about a comparison with last year's season, Coach Saia was nothing but ecstatic . "Last year's team has a lot to be proud of. This year's team might be just a bit deeper, more mature in spots and bigger in size," Coach Saia said. The Cougar's recently played Bethesda at home and finished with a 93-54 victory. Not only were the starters one point, but as always, the bench made some noise. Of the 14 total 3-pointers for CSUSM, 6 of them came from Zack Zaragoza off the bench. Zaragoza also had a game high of 18 points. In regards to keeping his focus coming off the bench, "It's visualization and mental preparation for the game. I see myself making my shots and giving it my all out there," Zaragoza said. The seniors of the team will be recognized in an exhibition game against St. Katherine Saturday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. From there the Cougars have their eyes on a conference tournament in Georgia and a National Championship in Kansas City. "Kansas city is the top 32 team of the NAIA. You have to win 5 games in 6 or 7 days to win a national title. That's the golden prize and that's what we are shooting for," Coach Saia said. �T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, F EB 1 9 , S P O R T BfmBfrra™ 10:00 AM ggByB iMCfnri Hector Collazo working up a sweat on the CSUSM track and field.

Woodson is something many people like to do, not just for the awesome view, but also to get an epic photo on Potato Chip Rock for their Facebook or Instagram. Coming up the mountain from either side offers an enjoyable challenge, as well as rewarding scenery. One way to begin the trek is to start at Lake Poway. Parking is free during the winter, but the gates to the recreational area do close, so it's important to be mindful of the hours. More information about Lake Poway's seasonal hours and parking fees can be found at http://www.poway. org/Index .aspx?page= 1615. Restrooms and water fountains are located in the recreation area, but it is important to take water on the hike due to there being no facilities on the trails. Plenty of signs are positioned around the lake to show where the trails go and how to get to the Mt. Woodson trailhead. The trip con- I i ¡jjf mKl 11 ; jr ' -Jfr 11 V ÌM 11 Distribution photo by Rachel M sists of well-maintained dirt and rock trails. The beginning of the journey is relatively level around the lake until reaching the trailhead. As the incline of the trail increases, markers continue to dot the path to the summit to inform hikers which way to go, what trail they are on and how much farther they have t o go. Just before reaching the summit which has power towers scattered around it, Potato Chip Rock will be on the left. Another place to start the ascent is near the fire station off of the 67 highway. Parking on fire station property is prohibited but the shoulder is plenty wide enough to accommodate many cars, and there are lots of signs to point out where the trail begins. Gallego The route from this side of the mountain is steeper, but it is paved, shorter and it is even possible to do at night, especially when there is a full moon. There are no facilities at the base or along the route so it is critical to bring plenty of water. This trail meanders up and through many huge boulders that dwarf hikers and intrigue rock climbers. While navigating the switchbacks, it may even be possible to spot rock climbers tackling these giant boulders. Either trail offers plenty of spectacular views and a great workout. Furry friends are also invited to enjoy the toils. Mt. Woodson is a perfect day hike for anyone in need of fresh air and an adventure.

B Y SARAH HUGHES NEWS EDITOR Offbeat Brewery shares a close connection with CSUSM B Y JUSTIN DONNER SPORTS EDITOR Right up the streetfromthe university, Sarah Garcia, an alumni of CSUSM's undergraduate and graduate business programs, is painting a vision with her husband Tom Garcia. Between his experience in brewing and her business education, the two have created Offbeat Brewing Company, featuring a community atmosphere that students should take the time to visit and experience. While Tom gained experience as a professional brewer and brewing consultant, Sarah received her undergraduate degree in business from CSUSM and a MBA as well. As entrepreneurs, the classes taught across the entire business program proved to be valuable for the couple. "Having a solid, broad base of business knowledge is critical to anyone hoping to start their own business. Small business owners wear many hats and you will need the breadth of knowledge from those Foundation Classes," Sarah said. Sarah maintains relationships with many of the professors from the College of Business Administration, and she is currently creating projects with a couple professors for their classes. The steps Sarah has taken are especially motivating Delicious sushi roll and brew photographed by Justin Donner. to aspiring female entrepreneurs. "I couldn't be happier to see our female alumni blazing a trail just as successfully as our male graduates. As a female faculty member, it is particularly gratifying to see that the young women that were in our undergraduate and graduate programs just a few years ago are now successful entrepreneurs, creating jobs in the local community and giving back to the university," business professor, Dr. Rajnandini Pillai, said. Offbeat Brewery has a casual tasting room with picnic tables, a wall-to-wall mural done by a collection of artists and an open view of the brew house. For the 21 and over crowd at CSUSM, the brewery offers a wide collection of excellent craft brews and fun events. Some events gourmet trucks, nights, cal artists are featured every quarter and regular specials that benefit local nonprofit organizations.

"Invisible Threat," the latest installment in the talented teenagers' series of eyeopening documentaries, explores the variance of opinions that arise when parents contemplate the best way to take care of their children. They interviewed families, physicians and experts about what the positive effects of vaccination are, as well as discuss the myths of how harmful they are to children. "Invisible Threat" was created entirely by students, directed by Douglas Green, written by Camille Posard and narrated by Mark Huckaby. Like their past projects, it was funded by the Rotary Club, with no stipulations on their part . . *'It is done entirely by high school . students, without p oses i mportant any influence from adults. They did the research and interviewing, they wrote the script» and it's very exciting. After the screening, we will have speakers such as a couple physicians and someone with a biology background. We're^ really promoting health literacy," one of the coordinators of the event, Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi, said. The young filmmakers have found controversial topics to be their niche in the documentary realm. Before "Invisible Threat," their first film was on the survivors of the Holocaust. This was followed by "One in Seven," which took a critical look at the fact that at the time of filming, one in seven people in North County had hunger insecurities. By the time of production, the figures had changed to one in five people and one in four children. Their next project will be about SeaWorld and killer whales. The screening of "One in Seven" at a film festival is what created the link between Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi q uestions and Lisa Posard, the mother of one of the filmmakers. De Ghetaldi called Posard to introduce herself, thus spiraling into the CSUSM Kinesiology Club's partnership with Donate Don't Dump and now the screening of "Invisible Threat" on campus. This is thanks to multiple partners with Kinesiology Club, Dr. de Ghetaldi citing Hugo Lecomte and the Rec Center as one of their biggest supporters for the event. Invisible Threat is being shown across the country, arid students have the opportunity to watch the film for themselves. It will be shown on campus from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4 in Clarke Grand Salon, Room 113. Students can also view the film from 5 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5 at Temeku Cinemas in Temecula. Temeku Cinemas is located at 26463 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. Both screenings are f ree. For more information, contact Dr. Laura de Ghetaldi at ldegheta@csusm .edu.

Fratelli's is the new restaurant that opened up in Restaurant Row of San Marcos. Fratelli's means "brothers" in Italian, and that's exactly what these two owners are. Brothers Brandon and Austin Lorbert started this Italian restaurant that emphasizes homemade ingredients made daily, and authentic Italian cuisine. The atmosphere has a family-oriented flair with a warm and rustic quality, including wooden beams that surround the restaurant . They had several rooms, including a bar, and even a private banquet room for those special occasions. The service is welcoming and effortlessly attentive, sure to make anyone feel at home. We started with their mouthwatering Burrata Caprese ($13.95), an heirloom tomato and burrata mozzarella caprese appetizer drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette glaze and garnished with micro basil that was earthy and fresh. We paired this with their house Chardonnay, which had hints of apple, oak and blossom to compliment the starter. Their wine has their own Fratelli label and is made from OneHope Winery. Next was their Classic Caesar salad ($5.95). Fratelli's makes their own homemade creamy tart dressing as well as garlic savory croutons. This salad was unlike any other, topped off with freshly grated parmingiano cheese. This was paired with the house Sauvignon Blanc that was sweet, bright and refreshing. Following was an heirloom tomato bisque ($3.95 for a cup, $5.95 for a bowl), a hearty soup full of onion and garlic flavor. To accompany the entrée we had the house Cabernet that was smooth and rich. The main course was a perfectly cooked and very generous portion of salmon piccata ($24.95), accompanied with steamed asparagus and cougarchron.arts@gmail.com Csusmchronide.advertising@gmail.com C RAVEN 3 5 0 0 Our Website: csusmchronide.com Office Phone: 760 - 750 - 6099 T UESDAYS NOON - 1 2 : 4 5 PM Office Fax: 780 - 750 - 3345 - Our office is located in Craven 3500 The Cougar Chronicle is published twice a month on Wednesdays during the academic year.

The term Muslim is often falsely associated to terrorism by many outside of the Islamic community. Many individuals form this misunderstanding from the constant anti-Islam media portrayals. Others simply do not know where to access correct in- formation to educate themselves on the matter, or are afraid to confront those of Muslim faith to ask them. Although there may be many reasons, ultimately the majority of American society is unaware of the true concepts and practices of Islam. "If anyone asked me about Islam, I would want them to know that it is a religion of peace. The word Islam itself means peace." The MSA also aims to form long lasting relationships and provide support for its members, which includes Muslims and individuals of other faiths. Since the association's es- tablishment a few years ago, the MSA continues to grow. The MSA has also become active in partaking in community service events, on campus meetings, other fun events, as well as educational events in which acclaimed scholars are invited to share their insight on intriguing topics. Individuals interested in learning more about Islam, meeting people of the Islamic faith or attending one of our various events should visit http://www.csusm.edu/ orgs/muslimstudentassociation.html or send us an email at msa.csusm@gmail.com. If you want t o know more about InterVarsity, when and where we meet, o r more about our Spring Break trip, check out the website ivsanmarcos.org. InterVarsity connects campus through community and spirituality B Y N OELLE FRIEDBERG SENIOR STAFF WRITER InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is an international organization that focuses on campus ministry with vision "to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed and world changers developed." A collection of athletes, Greeks, international students and people just trying to graduate, who all come together with this one shared desire: to know Jesus and to make Him known. My first experience with InterVarsity was two years ago. As a new student, it is often just easier to go to class and then leave campus rather than try to make new friends. That is where InterVarsity came in. I started going to their events and was instantly amazed by how loving and encouraging the community is. They made me feel so welcome that I just had to stick around. One of the best things about being a part of InterVarsity is that every spring break they do this thing called Mark Camp. It's a week on Catalina Island, where members spend time going through the Bible and going deeper into the gospel of Jesus through the book of Mark. Some of my fondest memories of college and lasting friendships have been made there. Every Wednesday they have a weekly meeting called Large Group where a speaker shares a message. They also have various Bible studies on campus throughout the week. The Bible studies really focus on being a place of encouragement, and are a great place to make new friends and connect to campus life. ¡jg jpg 11 * Interested in running for a Representative or Executive position on the Board of Directors?

Truth about Twitter Company tax breaks raise alarm B Y L A U R E N H AMMOND OPINION EDITOR . Many students at CSUSM probably have a Twitter account, but likely are unaware of the company's questionable history. Twitter was first formed in 2006. Since its debut and coining of the legendary "Tweet," the social networking site has seen a rapidly growing user base. As of late 2013, the company has been estimated to be worth 31 billion dollars. Since its opening, Twitter headquarters -has been located in San Francisco, CA. In 2011, the company was threatening to move locations but was offered a six-year payroll tax break to maintain its California residency. More recently, the city agreed to stop taxing Twitter stock options. Calcu" lations suggest that since the initiation of the company's tax breaks, Twitter has saved over 50 million dollars. Twitter currently resides in San Francisco's Mid-Market area. Alongside the "Twitter Tax Break," the city has also included tax incentives to any other companies that moved to Mid-Market, a preA viously undeveloped area, and has seen tremendous corporate growth. Much of the money Twitter has saved due to tax incentives could have gone towards improving the city's public transportation, health, education and more. Aside from major losses in city revenue, Twitter has had absolutely no involvement in giv- > o r t e s t i n g in, community. Twitter, along with fifteen other companies residing in the Mid-Market area, has also been affecting neighboring residential communities. The technical industries within the Mid-Market area have aided in an increase of property valuer With the high request for office space, many residential property owners have also been forced to sell, causing a large number of home evictions, Several activist groups including South of Market Community Action Network, Senior and Disability Action, Eviction Free San Francisco and the San Francisco Housing Rights Commrttee have joined forces with local workers and residents tofightback. A number of protests have taken place outside of the Twitter headquarters and throughout the Mid-Market area to express outrage for the companies' tax breaks. It is important that social networking users understand the implications associated to their Twitter memberships. Until Twitter realizes the injustice of their actions, users are unconsciously participating in the corporate conglomerate's indifference to the general public. This is not an uncommon practice for multi-billion dollar corporations to take advantage of lower-income demographics. Although this does not directly affect CSUSM students, it does harm communities similar to ours and that is something to consider.

The campus library released the Uterus R ag Project on Feb. 10 and will remain until May 20. This installation, provided by Terilynn Quick, is a compilation of small flags that are adorned with uterus made by people from all over the nation. So much detail in each piece. The space was like a ghost town. I was in awe at the ideas shared by artists who addressed the issues behind women's health and the blessings that exist with being a woman and having the ability to conceive. While finding myself impressed and awe struck, I noticed that I was being watched. Passer by's were laughing at me for admiring the artists work. Others appeared to avoid the display, as if they would catch some kind of disease if they came too close. A friend of mine decided to draw attention to passers by and lured individuals to come and consider the artwork. Once one person started admiring Terilynn's presentation, more and more lipsticks having dangerous amounts of lead in them. Even the supposedly natural mineral-based makeups contain small particles of mica that we can inhale, which Forbes online magazine puts into perspective by pointing out that construction workers have to wear masks when dealing with mica. While women have more products that expose them to these dangerous chemicals, men aren't safe from the danger. Aftershave, cologne, shaving cream and shampoos are just a few of the items that men use that fall under the same category as all of the other beauty products. These products contain as many chemicals as the products women use and are regulated in the same way, putting men at as much risk as women, I think that it is wrong that there are no regulations within the beauty industry, The food that we eat has regulations placed on it, so why not the items that we cover our skin with? I believe that we should have the right to know exactly what is in the products we use. I also think that cosmetic companies should strive to eliminate as many of these chemicals from their products as possible in order to provide their loyal customers with healthier products, If you want to check the ingredients and the risk fac- .. tors associated with the products you use, a good place to start is the Skin Deep Database, http://www.ewg. org/skindeep/, created by the Environmental Working Group. That is just one small step towards knowing your products better so you can make an informed decision on whether to continue using that product, people began finding interest. Once the pieces were noticed, interest was struck and people began admiring all of the display. "The art work is amazing," student, Erin Taylor, said. This is a presentation that truly touches the core of existence. Take a moment to observe and appreciate the artistry and creativeness. �A &E A & E Editors Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T H E C OUGAR C HRONICLE, W E D N E S D A Y , F E B 1 9 , C ougar S huffle: V alentine's D ay A f t e r m a t h B y Z ach S chazenbach 11 'Man of Tai Chi' delivers B Y R YAN DOWNS STAFF W RITER I t's a f ew d ays a fter V alentine's D ay, b ut t here a re s ome s till f eeling a ffects f rom t he h oliday.

T ime" by I magine D ragons One of the better things about Netflix is its showcase not only of westernfilms,but also foreign films. This allows martial arts movies that normally would go straightto-DVD, like "Ip Man" or "The Raid: Redemption," to become surprise cult hits. Standing in the middle of these, in a bold attempt to merge both western and international audiences alike, is "Man of Tai Chi ." It is primarily a Chinese martial arts film. However, it features American star Keanu Reeves in two uncommon roles; the villain and, for the first time in his career, the director. The story attempts to tell a martial arts legend in a contemporary setting. It focuses the story on Tiger Chen (Chen Hu in his film debut), a young practitioner of Lin Kong Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese method of exercise and meditation. However Tiger comes to learn that this peaceful art can be applied in combat as well. It is stunningly effective, even though it strays from the art's purpose. Nonetheless, it is not long before Tiger attracts the attention of Donaka Mark (Reeves), the head of an underground fightingring.He sees Tiger's potential and tempts him with money and fame. Tiger needs it to save his master's temple from demolition. It is not long before Tiger's involvement with the fighting ring begins to corrupt his character. Worse still, it becomes clear that Mark is conditioning him into something deadlier than just another fighter. It may be too late for him to escape. For the most part, the film works for the same reason Keanu Reeves works. I t's, simple, cool and strangely likeable. On the other hand, like the actor, it tends to get awkward when it tries too hard and there are some embarrassingly silly moments. However, Reeves is understated as ever both in front of, and behind, the camera. Coupled with some awesome fight choreography from Hollywood legend Yuen Wo Ping, the end result is a straightforward but enjoyable action flick. 3/5 Cougar Paws! 'Friday Night Lights', 'The League' keep gridiron going during off-season B Y AMANDA LENOX FEATURES EDITOR The first few Sundays after the Super Bowl are always the hardest for football fans. However, Netflix has some football themed shows* to help fill up your time while you wait for the next season to start. One show I highly recommend is the drama series Friday Night Lights. The show focuses on head coach Eric Taylor (played by Kyle Chandler) as he helps lead the high school football team, the Dillon Panthers, to the Texas State Championship. Viewers might forget they aren't watching a real football game. You wait in anxiety to see if the team makes the play and cheer in excitement for a touchdown. With an ensemble cast, the show also looks at the individual players as their lives are woven together both on and off the field. The sweet yet insecure Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) struggles with balancing being the starting quarterback and trying to date the coach's daughter (Aimee Teegarden). Fullback Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) is the bad-boy character who tries to prove he is more than a stereotype. Throughout the series, the players deal with issues including steroid use and college recruitment. Friday Night Lights is a critically acclaimed series with two Primetime Emmy wins, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kyle Chandler) and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. It has 76 episodes within five seasons available on Netflix. The second season is the only lackluster season because of its multiple dull storylines. Recommended episodes include: "Mud Bowl" in Season I , "There Goes the Neighborhood" in Season 2, "The Son" in Season 4 and "Always" in Season 5. One of the best parts of football is the way it can bring together a community, whether you are tailgating at a stadium or watching the game with family and friends. Friday Night Lights will remind you of that feel- ing and will prepare you for the next football season. I give Friday Night Lights a 4.5/5 rating. Another football-themed show to watch is the comedy series The League. The show follows friends, Pete Eckhart (played by Mark Duplass), Rodney Ruxin (Nick Kroll), Andre Nowzick (Paul Scheer) and Kevin MacArthur (Stephen Rannazzisi). Also, Kevin's brother, Taco (Jon Lajoie) and wife, Jenny (Katie Aselton) as they all play each other in their fantasy football league. The show has a raunchy style of comedy as the friends argue over things like draft picks and trades. The series is also abundant with notable NFL guest stars, including San Diego Chargers player Antonio Gates in Season 1 episode "Mr. McGibblets." There are currently 45 episodes within four seasons available on Netflix. Recommended episodes include: "The Shiva Bowl" in Season 1 and "The Marathon" in Season 2 .1 give The League a 3.5/5 rating. 11 «»I A R EMINDER T HE D REAM A C T A PPLICATION D EADLINE F OR A B540 X S TUDENTS/UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS I S MARCH 2ND.

Theodore Twombly is in love with his operating system named Samantha, essentially an evolved Siri. Thefilmdefinitely approaches the dramatic question, "Could love have no boundaries?" There are countless moments in which Theodore and Samantha demonstrate character development in regards to their relationship, a unique characteristic of this fascinating movie. B Y K ATIE GARNER o STAFF WRITER The film also boasts a cast of well-known actors. Joaquin Phoenix play s Theodore and Scarlett Johansson plays the voice of Samantha. Rooney Mara plays Theodore's ex-wife Catherine and Amy Adams plays Theodore's friend Amy. The "Her" soundtrack especially adds sentiment to the film.

Religions follow humanity wherever we go. America contains some of most divergent beliefs and cultural systems in the world. Starting with tales told by Native Americans, mythologies have poured into America via the mass migration from settlers worldwide. What if every one of these old gods were alive and struggling to survive in this country? Neil Gaiman asks this question in his novel, "American Gods." The story follows the reticent Shadow, an ex-con who upon his release from prison finds that his wife has died. Alone and without a home, Shadow meets Mr. Wednesday, a mysterious con-man who offers Shadow a job as his bodyguard. Soon Shadow's world turns upside down as he discovers that all Gods not only exist, but exist amongst humans and are preparing for war. The Old Gods are clashing with the New Gods, which in America are represented by the various deities of Media, ^Technology and the Black Hats. Mr. Wednesday, who reveals himself early on as an incarnation of Odin, recruits Shadow to rally the Old Gods against the New Gods. But in a country where beliefs are shrinking every day, can Shadow help these Old Gods survive? "American Gods" is a powerful, enchanting story etched with folklore in every page. Lovers of fantasy fiction will adore this novel tremendously. This book is ripe with myths from cultures all over the world-Neil Gaiman weaves a poignant, but humorous* tale that starts off at a slow pace that soon dives right into a journey that will you keep you entertained and thoughtful. "American Gods" has won multiple prestigious awards, including the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Walsh believes that funding for education is being used as a political means and the only people to lose are students. "We need a government that is willing to fight. I plan to represent students and meet with the city and the state government and inform them of the needs of the students," Walsh said. "You need someone who is willing to build relationships to ensure that the students are properly represented." Walsh uses the example of Prop. 30 which was passed in the 2012 election. "The government is using education as a political ploy.

Our best interests is in the students," Walsh said. Walsh stated that though he never planned on running for ASI president previously, his interest inclined as he became more involved on campus. "I realized that I can help the university grow and help myself reach the potential by continuing to serve the university as ASI President," Walsh said. In discussing the main issues Walsh witnesses at CSUSM, Walsh said, "The biggest issues that the university and the students have is that the state government is not doing its duties. The California State government is not properly representing the students of CSUSM." STAFF WRITER If a film or television show was to be made portraying the men and women of the CSUSM University Police Department, it likely would not contain many of the exciting elements seen in regular mainstream police dramas. In fact, it probably wouldn't contain any of the less entertaining scenes from a regular episode of "COPS." Despite the pleasant nature of CSUSM, the UPD is on guard at all hours, maintaining a secure campus and keeping an eye on us students. It may not make for a dramatic television show, but that begs the question: which shows or films actually portray police officers in the most realistic way? Also, which cop movies or shows are, so to speak, police-approved? Police Chief Robert G. McManus may be the best man to ask such questions. Besides being the UPD chief and holding a police resume stretching back decades, McManus majored in film at SDSU in the 70s. His eye for film and his lengthy experience as a peace-keeper makes him an ideal critic for police dramas. When asked about police in film and television, Police Chief McManus mentioned the CBS drama "CSI." After investigating a car that had been broken into, Chief McManus was asked by the driver, "Did you get the results?" The victim of the crime was referring to a false understanding of the police process- thinking that' the men and women from "CSI" POLICE CONTINUED ON 2 �News Editor: Melissa Martinez cougarchron.news@gmail.com Cooper argued that the affect of being raised by a samesex couple would lead to emotional injury, regardless of what children believed. Supporters of Prop. 8 also argued that same-sex marriage would harm "responsible procreation," because same-sex couples would not be able to reproduce. Justice Elena Kegan and Cooper both discussed the whether the value of marriage lies in procreation or not, giving examples of marriage being constitutional between couples over the age of 55. W ALSH FROM I that if it involved education, people would fight for it," Walsh said. As well as representing the students of CSUSM, Walsh aims at improving the relationship between the city of San Marcos and campus. Walsh said that one of the successes ASI experienced last fall was building relationships on campus, having all the college representatives meeting with the provost and deans so that students and administration build a communicative relationship. Currently, the San Diego native is majoring in social science and mathematics, while minoring in history c susmchronicle.com and communications with check out our website The justices agreed that there are heterosexual marriages that are unable to procreate or decide not to, which ignited the discussion about elder couples unable to procreate. The next argument consisted of discussing labels, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Reminding the court that the word "marriage" was a label since Calif, has already made strides in creating equal rights for same-sex couples. "It is like you were to say you can vote, you can travel, but you may not be a citi- zen. There are certain labels in this country that are very, very critical," Olson said. With the discussion continuing, the justices considered issues of when same-sex marriage became unconstitutional, explored the idea that same-sex marriage was "newer than cell phones and the Internet." Chief Justice Roberts Jr. reminded the court that children from same-sex marriages are at no disadvantage than children of opposite-sex couples when Donald B . Verrilli stated that the cost was a lack of a stabilizing effect, creating the children to develop an emotional issue of being raised by same-sex" parents. The argument consisted of the justices each asking critical questions for the opponents to consider using history of segregation to defend their arguments.

The development of the eBook, or digital book, makes it easier to read about every topic imaginable and is used by millions around the globe. Publishing technology has entered the world of the Internet, and a potential global market can take a previously unknown author to a best-selling writer overnight. The eBook genres, similar to physical .novels, range from fiction to biographical, and anyone with a desire to write can share their thoughts and inspire. When looking for a topselling author who can move people, we don't have to go further than CSUSM. Freshman Katlin Sweeney earned the distinction of becoming one of Amazon's best selling authors in the Children's Sports Biography section at the age of 18. She was motivate^ by her experiences with competitive sports, what she saw in high school and her love for her father. "I was inspired by my experiences playing competitive club and high school volleyball," Sweeney said. Now 19, Katlin was influenced to attend CSUSM by professor and former department chair of Literature and Writing Studies, Professor Martha Stoddard-Holmes. "What's distinctive about Katlin, aside from her strengths as a writer, are her persistence and sense of focus, those are key qualities for anyone who wants to publish," Professor Stoddard-Holmes said. Yet Sweeney's story doesn't end there. It's really a story of her love for her father, Tim Sweeney, who suffers from Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and is her editor. "The book is dedicated to my Dad, somebody who has supported me no matter how good or bad I was at volleyball and has taught me more about life than I can ever repay in my lifetime," Katlin said. "The Bench Sitter" is a novel that is a real-life parallel to Katie's own experiences and observations as a bench sitter on her high-school volleyball team. It portrays the world of Katie through a lens that can be easily identifiable to the reader. People have depth, situations are real and the lens is clear. Katlin's story will also take you back in time to when someone cheered you on at a sporting event. Katlin's father shared his "John Wooden approach" of parenting, where he treats his kids as adults rather than talking down to them. In the hour I spoke to Tim Sweeney, I was motivated to looking at writing a book. His inspirational thoughts and sharing of knowledge led him to be a highly regarded writer, which has transferred to the younger Sweeney. Katlin first published "The Bench Sitter" in August of 2011, a week before she began her senior year at Great Oak High School in Temecula. The following month, she learned her book was a best seller in the category of Children's Sports Biographies. Her book continued to be on the best sellers list and Katlin is making a name for herself in a market that has been traditionally dominated by much older adults and seasoned professionals. She is unmatched with 19 months on Amazon's Best Sellers List as of April 4,2013, with her book crossing into two other best sellers lists during that time frame as well. While Tim Sweeney has lived through a difficult 12 years of ill health, Katlin has a passion for life, and it's the love for her father that drives her as a writer and as a human being. Katlin told me of how her relationship Katlin Sweeney with her Father, Tim, holding her novel, "The Bench Sitter." Photo by Anne Hall strengthened with her father as she wrote "The, Bench Sitter." . "With his illness, we make the most of every day and our family appreciates time spent together," Katlin said. Tim Sweeney has been very successful with his marketing business and his self-publish knowledge has helped move Katlin into uncharted waters for her age. What I find mature in Katlin is that she does not concern herself with the sales of the book. She has focused herself on her next book, which she is keeping quiet about. "I find it to be a very relatable story. I think we all have felt that we don't belong and kind of just hope someone will be nice enough to actually talk to us. She's truly descriptive, which I like. It helps illustrate a good pic- ture of all the personalities, what she's feeling and everything around her," CSUSM student Karla Reyes said. "Social media presents another outlet for written expression, another way to start writing and keep writing—which is what good writers do: read a lot and write a lot. There are no shortcuts, and Katlin knows that—she works at her craft, and it shows," StoddardHolmes said. "The book's events happened, but the characters were changed to make sure nobody's identity was given away. All of the characters in the book are created from two or more people that I have encountered throughout my career that had similar qualities. This was done to teach readers about the kinds of players/coaches that par- ticipate in sports, not to bash specific girls and coaches," Katlin said. "When girls are growing up they are "Daddy's little girl," then they eventually connect to mom. At some point they come back to their fathers, with the knowledge fathers share with their daughters," Tim Sweeney said. Such is the case I find with Katlin. Katie is a freshman writer, loving daughter, and is very humble. She has a personal narrative that reminds us all of what matters the most in our lives, which is the love for family. Katlin Sweeney may not be a starter on a volleyball team, but she's successful as an author.

A rmy R OTC: Unique program for those considering serving their country B Y R YAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER Army ROTC is the right program for students who may want something specific out of college, and possess or are interested in qualities such as ambition, organization and physical stamina. It may seem strange that on a campus so close to both Camp Pendleton and San Diego, the on-campus Army ROTC program is so young. But despite its brief presence on campus, ROTC has offered a lot to CSUSM and its students. The Army ROTC program is relatively new to CSUSM and is partnered with the San Diego State University Army ROTC program. The purpose of ROTC is to train cadets in the skills they will need to become officers in the United States Army. It functions primarily as a leadership program meant to turn students into better adults and leaders. In addition to a class twice a week, the group tries to meet for Physical Training in the morning three times a week, with tactical leadership lab participation once a week.

President Haynes has also been involved with the creation of the office, being one of the strongest supporters of ombuds from the very beginning. Since January 2013, the Ombuds Office has shifted from a single advisor structure to featuring multiple Interims, advisors that work together to help visitors that come into the office. The four members of ombuds all bring something unique to O MBUDS CONTINUED ON 4 �T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL IO, 2 0 1 3 4 OMBUDS FROM 3 the office, each having their own specialties that allow them to advise a variety of topics. They are trained*to be better listeners, unbiased and are able to separate their Ombuds position from their other jobs and positions on campus. Visitors can also decide if they want to be advised by a man or woman and which interim ombuds is the right personality match for them. The interim ombuds are Dr. Martha Stoddard-Holmes, a literature and writing studies professor and former department chair, Fritz Kreisler, lead psychologist at CSUSM since 1992 and Rodger D'Andreas-Wahl, a therapist, professor, overseer of ASI and influential CSUSM staff member. The ombuds advisor is Michelle Hunt, overseeing the interim ombuds and helping them advise difficult or challenging cases. "The idea was that with the interim appointments, they wanted multiple people who know the campus really well. I have been here since 2001 and am familiar with the campus. I work with students and staff," D'Andreas-Wahl said. "Martha Stoddard-Holmes works with students and % faculty. Fritz meets with faculty and staff. Every visitor has two options, under the current plan, with three [Interims] in terms of who they can meet with." Everything that is said to an Interim is kept confidential unless it poses an imminent risk to that person, someone else or is a clear violation of the law. While ombuds does not seek to replace other offices or services on campus, it gives students, staff and faculty an alternative route when discussing or resolving issues. Unlike Student Health and Counseling Services, òmbuds does not focus mainly on psychological issues. Visitors have been advised on topics such às ways to achieve better success in a class, personality clashes with a professor or student, deciding if they are going to stay at CSUSM and staff getting along better with a supervisor. The Interims do not act on behalf of the visitor or enforce consequences against people that are mentioned during sessions. The visitors must change the situation themselves, however Interims may help facilitate conversations between disagreeing parties if thè visitor requests help in that way. CSUSM staff and faculty can also feel comfortable discussing issues in the workplace, no conversations that involve their boss or coworkers being repeated to anyone outside of the office. "I'm interested in hearing people's stories. As a researcher, I am really interested in problem solving. Sometimes my problems are intellectual, but the love of problems and puzzles help me want to solve the puzzles of the daily lives on campus," Stoddard Holmes said. "My personal goal is to have everyone who comes into the office leave in a better place than they started and to know that there is somebody to help and to listen. I want to empower them to help themselves, to understand what resources are at this university and for them to have a plan of action that they can implement when they leave," Hunt said.

It places the burden of punishment' and ostracization on the victim and often makes it difficult if not impossible for the victim to receive validation that what they did wasn't their fault. Rape culture is getting a lot of heat to be erased from the world, especially in light of the Steubenville, Ohio rape case where two teen football players were found guilty of rape on March 17. It's certainly high-time to do away with the pressure on the victim and to place pressure on the suspect. Of course, a suspect has (some) rights. Just as well as that is said, a victim has rights—rights that were taken away from them in the the people who they hang commitment of the crime out with scrutinized, their upon them.

They committed choice of clothing dissected, rape and will have to face the consequences. Furthermore, while victim blaming, just like rape, can be perpetrated by any gender and against any gender, statistics do state thai most instances of rape are crimes against women. This fact and the prevalence of rape culture and victim blaming are not a simple coincidence. Women are objectified and victimized during their rape, then victimized all over again by society in the aftermath. The crime and following hatred is more than just violence - it is frank misogyny, and only by offering basic human decency can progress b e made. There are many things that everyone should do if they are a part of the community surrounding any victim when the tragedy of rape occurs: D on't make the victim feel guilty. D on't place the fate of the suspects' futures in the hands of the victim. D on't give the victim the supposed role in deciding the suspects' future in the f ull view of a critical and unsympathetic public. It may be hard to imagine if it hasn't happened to you, but keep this in mind. The harsh nature of this case can be applied to a lot of mirror scenarios. Imagine you are just the normal you, going about your business. Imagine you were robbed on the street, your wallet or purse taken from you in broad daylight. Imagine the police caught this robber and they were arrested. Now, imagine this. You are called into question. They ask you why you were in the position to be robbed f rom, why you let it happen. Couldn't you have stopped it? You should have been more prepared for something like that to happen if you expecting to be out where robbers were, they may say. Maybe you shouldn't have had a flashy purse or a wal- Cougar Asks: W hat is an April Fool s joke you ve had pulled on you? At \A /I , «, A' r 1* *1 9 t t »11 1 let with money in it. Perhaps you wanted your stuff to be stolen. Perhaps you were asking for someone to come along and relieve you of your things. Doesn't feel that great, does it? Although there are most likely students who walk around the CSUSM campus in fear that they might be raped, no ^student should have to feel this way, especially on a campus that has been recognized multiple times as being so safe. There is hope that this doesn't happen, and there is hope that none of us are in danger of the fear of not being believed when something so horrible could happen to us. That is not to say that it will or is going to. However, we must be careful. As much as it needs to be made clear that rape is not tolerated in any way, that still doesn't keep it f rom happening.

B Y J ESSIE G AMBRELL O PINION E DITOR If you aren't a "Super Senior" yourself, I am sure you know one. For those of you who may not know, a Super Senior is someone who reached senior status one, two or maybe three years ago but has not graduated because they have hot completed their requirements, You may think, %eU dne year is not too bad, some people just take a lighter course load than others. However, what if the lighter load isn't the reason for making Super Seniors. Perhaps the main reason is the various unit caps put in place? University unit caps restrict student to a specific amount of units a student can hold, therefore limiting the amount of classes they can take. Of course universities have faij- reasoning behind these limits, thè reason being allowing all of the students to have the chance to sign-up for classes, but the fact of the matter is that when you limit the amount of units a student can sign up for, it can greatly delay their college career. For at least the last three years, CSUSM has put a 13-unit cap oh all incoming freshmen. Do you know what this is doing to this entire generation of incoming freshmen? As my academic advisor instructed myself and fellow freshmen on orientation day, you must take five classes a semester in order to graduate on time. But if the school is only restricting you to roughly four classes a semester in your first year, how are you suppose to accomplish this? Beats me. So what do we do now? Well my own personal plan is to take summer courses to make up for the lost time. If I take two summer classes a year at either CSUSM or a local community college, then even if I take four classes during the regular semester, I can still be able to catch up and graduate on time. Otherwise, it looks like our only other options are to become Super Seniors and be perpetual students with the rest of the youngins until it has been finished. Are you irked by the unit caps?

Listening to the albums could only be conveyed as a personal journey everyone should experience. Though the breakup is devastating for fans everywhere, the split isn't a total shock. Since the band hasn't released an complete album in a few years, MCR had a few choices: to release an amazing album that would inevitably change lives (like they've done before>or call it a day and end their run on great terms. Unfortunately, they chose the latter. However, myself and fellow fans will always remember the impact MCR made to music. We can agree with the band'sfinalmessage stating, "Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends.

These consist of a family friendly show and an adult show that follows. Although the players vary in every show, one of the main players is Nicole Hernandez, who has been on the team since spring 2010. The theater major took the time to sit down and answer some questions for us. Question: What is your favorite thing about being on the team? Answer: My favorite thing about being on the team is that we're like a fun little family. It's really great to be able to spend a lot of time with them and get to' do fun things like playing pretend. Q: What struggles have you experienced while on the team? A: Making sure the momentum keeps going. We'll* go through stretches of time where we don't bring in as much of an audience as we usually do and that's always tough to figure out how to bring people back. And also making sure that it's able to continue as more and more people start graduating. Q: What do you see yourself doing after college? A: It would be fun to con- ^ tinue improv. I don't want to give up on it but I also don't want to go into it as a career. I want to either be a theater teacher or run a theater of my own. Q: What is your favorite skit or perform? A: My favorite game t o ^ play is Blind Line. It's really* fun to see what lines the audience comes up with. It's one of those games that can get really random and strange. �A & E Editor: Juliana Stumpp cougarchron.arts@gmail.com T HE COUGAR CHRONICLE, W EDNESDAY, A PRIL I O, 2 0 1 3 A &E S tudent fls "A S fring g reek T Qie" b y Pölitz Or£m& ^m* f\Ucr C teftT& O M GSSD c My guess is that she didn't get very far in the gome.

"Regret in Triptych" highlights the story of Andros Koresh, a man searching for information about the recent death of his wife. However, the only person who, m ay hold the clues he is looking f or is his ex-girlfriend. Instead of a storyline based around the traditional love triangle, "Regret in Triptych" focuses on a love square where the spouses of the two main characters are also involved in the story. Much of the inspiration behind the novel comes from Wesley's past experiences and the fact that his ex-girlfriend is now his best friend in real life. "The way [that the main character Andros] responds to stuff is very much [like] me. He thinks the way I do, although he does things I wouldn't do. The other characters are composites of certain people I know," Wesley said. Art history classes that Wesley took are what ultimately inspired the title of the novel. "The book is three chapters, hence the word 'triptych.' It's kind of playing off of the historic meaning of triptych, which is usually in churches, where a painting is done in three panels. In this story, I took that concept of three panels and three chapters. It begins the story outside in open air, open space, the second chapter comes inside the house, the third chapter goes inside the people," Wesley said.

O PINION/PAGE11 Paper vaulted to top t hree position in s tate SACRAMENTO - It was a weekend for underdogs when Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper, Pioneer, grabbed seven awards last weekend at the California InterCollegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. The event marks the first time a delegation . of students from CSUSM has won awards in inter-collegiate competition. "We were stunned," said Pioneer Editorin-Chief Larry Boisjolie. "We really didn't expect to do that well." CIPA S tudent President TrishaReader said Pioneer's performance vaults the newspaper into one of the toplhree university weeklies in the state. Reader said over 2,000 entries were received from the various college publications in California. Boisjolie was one of five CSUSM delegates to attend the conference which hosted 23 universities, about 300 students from California and Nevada. Competitions and seminars were held for the print media, radio and television broadcasters. Competitions at the conference were divided into two categories. For the mail-in category, ubmissions were mailed in to CIPA three months before the conference f orjudging by experts in the field. Each newspaper was allowed two entries for each category, which gauged both written and artistic aspects of college newspapers. "Since we only had eight issues at the time KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Pioneer co-founders, Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, anxiously await the announcement of awards during the California Inter-Collegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. of submission, we felt our chances were pretty slim of finding enough good material to compete with schools that have published all year," said Boisjolie. "We were also under the impression that only one entry per category could be submitted so we only sent in half of what the other colleges did." Pioneer picked up first place for best opinion section in the mail-in competition. Jonathan Young, co-founder of the newspaper, placed first in the overall design category and second in front page design. Boisjolie won second in the investigative news and editorial categories. The other category of competition is onthe-spot writing and designing. Participants are given a limited amount of time to write a story, edit copy, take photographs or design a front page. In the on-the-spot competitions, Young was awarded first place in page design while Debbie Duffy picked up a third place award for entertainment writing. Duffy was given one hour to write a critical review on an art gallery. Staff members Kathy Sullivan and Elaine Whaley also attended the conference. At the close of the conference, CSUSM was asked by Reader to host the statewide conference next year. CSUSM President Bill Stacy expressed interest in the proposal, however, Boisjolie said that the main factor deciding whether or not CSUSM will host the conference is finding space to accommodate the event's attenders.

College seeks candidates for first student council Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force is now looking for candidates wishing to form the university's first Associated Student Council. Ernest Zomalt, Dean of Student Services, said the council will comprised of a President, two representatives from each College, four undergraduates at-large and two post-baccalaureates at-large. These positions will form a representative model of government, established by the Task Force's AS Constitution. "We have an interesting government model," said Z omalt "It allows for one elected leader: President." The President's powers include being senior representative of the AS, presiding over AS Council meetings and recommending the appointment of all students to AS and university committees. The President does not vote, except to break a tie. The AS Council is charged with setting policies and procedures for the AS and obtaining and disseminating information which affects the AS and its members. Representatives from the specific colleges will be easier to obtain," he said. "The at-large students will be a little bit of a challenge." Elections Committee forming While seeking candidates to establish the first Associated Council at Cal State San Marcos, Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt and the Student Governance Task Force are also establishing an Elections Committee. This group will set standards for campaigning, hold candidate forums, organize the election and be accountable for the tabulating the results. Zomalt also explained the committee will work with the three fee measures for the election. They will read the measures and make sure they are understandable. The Elections Committee will also tabulate the results of the Student Government Elections April 22-23. They will then forward to results to CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Once confirmed, the AS Council will take office the first Monday in June and establish CSUSM's first student government. Any student interested serving on this council should contact the Student Services office. According to Zomalt, the AS C onstitution's r equirements f or CSUSM'selected officers specify that a candidate be a "Member of the associated students and in good academic standing at the time of election and during tenure in office." Candidates can receive information regarding candidacy from the Student Services Office. Once candidates are acknowledged, Zomalt said the university will hold a candidate's forum before the elections on April 22-23. Originally scheduled for April 15-16, the elections have been postponed one week. SEE VOTE/PAGE 4 H ewlett-Packard f irst t o c ommit t o Senior Business P artners Program Hewlett-Packard has committed to become the first Senior Business Partner for CSU, San Marcos' new business outreach program. "The College of B usiness Administration is delighted to announce the decision of Hewlett-Packard to become our first Senior Business Partner," said Dean Bernard Hinton.

"By stepping forward as the first participant in this program," Hinton said, "Hewlett-Packard has made a strong statement about their support for our efforts to provide a relevant educational experience for our students. "Their commitment, in becoming our partner in the educational process, not only encourages us, but also encourages other individuals and businesses to become involved as well." Hinton also announced that Larry Brown, General Manager of H P's San Diego Color Imaging Division, has been invited to become the first member of the College of Business Administration's Dean's Advisory Council. "Hewlett-Packard is pleased to support the CSU San Marcos Business Partners Program," Brown said. "In keeping with our corporate citizen objective, HP encourages its operations and employees to contribute their time, talent and financial support to organizations that benefit the communities win which we operate. We look forward to a productive partnership with CSUSM." "We look forward with great expectations to a very close working relationship with companies such as Hewlett-Packard and are delighted at their sense of corporate responsibility and willingness to work with us in accomplishing the mission of the college," Hinton said. The Business Mentors Program, which assigns each student in the College to a personal business mentor, in only one of the programs in the Business Partners Program. Other portions of the Business Partners Program include programs designed f or individual businessmen, small companies, and corporations. The university has indicated that it is prepared to send materials to anyone in the business community that is interested in learning more about the programs. �Exercising important for healthy diet plan What Tommy LaSorta and the makers of Slim-Fast, among many other makers of weight control products, forget to tell you in their ads is that you have to exercise to achieve safe and lasting weight loss. With a restrictive diet alone, rapid weight loss may occur in the early stages as the body's glucose (sugar) stores are depleted and some water is lost. After that, a safe diet will cause only gradual weight loss - up to about a pound a week - and it comes at the cost of substantial calorie restriction.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN MARCOS �6 PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 NEWS I W E ART T HE CSUSM spurs largest development plan J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER any students attending the other 19 Cal State University campuses haven't heard of the new addition to their academic system. Even some local students and residents in San Marcos don't know of the new university here. But for the people who work for the city, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth. The university has spurred a project entitled, 'Heart of the City,' an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the future college campus. "Thegenesisofthisprojectevolved before the CSU Trustees chose San Marcos," said Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager. "The city made a conscious decision to go after Cal State San Marcos." Malone explained the city's strong desire to house the future educational institution, competing with neighboring Carlsbad for the state's attention. "We put together a package deal that the state couldn' t refuse," Malone said. The main anchor of the project came with the city's agreement to allow CSU officials to get directly involved with the design and organization of the p roject "The state had a huge say on land choices," Malone said. He said the site Carlsbad was offering was in a valley, an area hard to develop. San Marcos, in comparison, offered a large, open, fertile piece of land. CSU chose the Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham Drive site, just off Highway 78, to corner the university. The site has freeway visibility, is centrally located in North County so San Diego and Orange County/Riverside residents have easy access along with local students, and is in the geographic center of San Marcos and North San Diego County. "San Marcos doesn't have a downtown," Malone said. "With 'Heart of the City,' we hope to create a central focus for the city with the university as the anchor of the p roject" With the surrounding zoning, Malone said the master plan would give travelers a certain feel for the area. " We'll establish a sense of place along highway 78," he said. " You're really going to know something is there." As the p roject continues, San Marcos routes all designs and plans through the university f or review. Conversely,CSUSM informs the city on all its construction matters. T he •Heart of the City' area encompass nearly 1,600 acres, less than half the acreage of the CSUSM permanent campus. With the university standing in the center, the boundaries go slightly past FIRST I N A SERIES the campus to the south and extend to San Marcos Boulevard on the opposite side of Highway 78 to the North. The zoning extends East to already developed commercial and residential sites and West to Discovery Street Two main developments accent the 'Heart of the City' project. A University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center, housing the c ity's government, will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said, in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. SEE HEART/PAGE 7 �H eart V itals I The University The State of California has started a full-service university-level educational facility. Initial planning is for a two-year, upper-division and post-graduate studies facility transitioning to a full four-year campus. The campus master plan provides for the eventual development of a 35,000 student campus. Twin Oaks Valley work begins J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The Civic Center The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include: City Hall, conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel, park and open space incorporating a major water feature. The City Hall complex design will give special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the large clock tower at Cal State San MarcoS. The Business Park The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality uses. No driverthru facilities will be allowed. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation is the apparent low bidder in the $10 million construction project to widen Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham drive to accommodate the future site of Cal State San Marcos. With a budget of $ 10.2 million, the city of San Marcos received the Vadnais bid of $7,370,403, the lowest out of nine interested companies. "We are happy," said Bob Rager, an estimator with the Solana Beach company. "Our company has worked with the city of San Marcos before.

The center will also include a Library, City Hall, Community Center, a theater and possibly retail offices, a hotel and housing. "If we lease some of this area to businesses, then it will pay for itself in the long run," Malone said. Koll Construction of San Marcos has won the city's approval to design this center. Out of several different companies, Koll submitted the best conceptual drawing for the center. The rendering included two plaza areas, one within a shopping district and the other among the governmental buildings. Koll is now working with that concept and with the city to design the final Town Center complex. The University Center, although not detailed in its design or arrangement at this time, will include a variety of different businesses. A San Marcos Chamber of Commerce flyer states: "The Corporate Park will allow research and development and light industrial uses as well as corporate headquarters complexes and potential hotel developments." Malone foresees most of the businesses being "Neighborhood Commercial," a term to describe companies that serve the everyday needs of an on-campus student Land has been reserved for two hotels, one in the Civic Center, and a site for Kaiser Permanente Hospital. These sites are considered''floating," not yet confirmed in location. This is just one j ob we wanted." The project will widen Twin Oaks Valley Road from Highway 78 to Barham Drive to eight lanes, where it will continue as a six lane road. Barham Drive, also planned for six lanes, will only be built as a five lane road at this point in the project's development The city still needs furtherrightof way to continue the expansion. Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the project will also include completion of the first 13-14 feet of the 50-foot-wide sidewalk. "Futuredevelopers will be required to install the second part of the walkway," Malone said. ' The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Before Vadnais can be approved for the project, bonding must be approved and documents will be checked for mathematical and clerical errors. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the second lowest bidder, Cass Construction. Construction is expected to begin in May. "We' 11 work as quickly as we can," Malone said. "We'll definitely be done before the university is open." Scripps Memorial Hospital is planning to begin construction soon on a facility just on the west border of the 'Heart of the City' project at Discovery and San Marcos Blvd. A specific area of land, east of CSUSM, has also been reserved for an elementary school. A second school site is floating south-west of the university. making them visible from the freeway. "It'll be unrecognizable," Malone said, "design wise."

W E C ANT HOLD ferl BACK FOREVflU Future campus will be late, but final product worth wait As CSUSM has discovered, the need for a university in such a high-growth area is tremendous. Already the university has changed its plans for a student population in excess of 30,000 when the STAFF EDITORIAL campus is completed decades from now. Originally, the university expected a population of 25,000. In short, San Marcos got the project because of good planning. One needs only to take a look at other nearby universities to see what poor planning can do. San Diego State, for instance, is an architectural goulash that cannot nearly accommodate its rising population. The buildings are more a source of student stacking than community pride. At the University of California at San Diego there is no sense at all of a college community. Inside its vast acreage of buildings is an architecturally nice microcosm that does not in any way blend in with its surroundings. The college looks like an island amid an indifferent community. Even though many of the students now attending CSUSM won't be around to attend the finished campus, they can all More importantly, the campus and the City of San Marcos are look back at their alma mater with pride. In 1992 when the campus doesn't appear, the best advice prepared to accommodate the massive population that is expected in the future. According to last year's census, San Marcos is the fastest is to lug your books to your shopping center campus with the growing city_injhe county^ _ _„ __ ."'„'„, knowledge that the best is yet to come. In the wake of recent storms, drought problems and contractor disputes, Cal State San Marcos officials are hard-pressed to finish construction on their $650-700 million showcase campus by its fall 1992 scheduled openingxlate. Unfortunately, in the world of construction nothing ever goes as planned. Even though Campus Construction and Physical Planning still remains hopeful that the new university can be ready on time, they must seriously face the fact that space will be desperately needed to accommodate the anticipated flow of students to CSUSM when the campus doesn't magically appear. But future students need not despair. One glance at the plans of the future university and the college community concept of the4Heart of the City* project and it is evident that here is one good thing worth waiting for. Nowhere in the CSU system, the UC system or any other university system in this nation can be found such a remarkable symbiotic relationship as that which CSUSM and San Marcos share. When both the new campus and the 'Heart of the City' projects are completed, San Marcos will be magically transformed into a walkthrough Mediterranean village. If the plans are followed through and the project is not rushed, the result will be a showcase campus community. The whole concept can, in part, be credited to the city of San Marcos, which at great expense, put forth a plan that the college couldn't refuse. They offered to widen roads to eight lanes and construct a major community center which reflects the style of the campus. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 Republicans lack insight into key domestic issues As a culture and a nation of people, Americans are known for their impatience with problem solving. That is one good reason, for instance, why the Gulf War' s success was greeted with euphoria. A protracted conflict, while plausible, would have paid far less political dividends to the Republicans. This fact, coupled with the Democrats' apparent impotence at finding a viable leadership figure, poises the GOP for enormous domination during the next decade of public policy making. Only history will judge the prudence of a Republican-forged agenda that will inevitably usher in the next century. In other words, a window of oppor- DAVID HAMMOND tunity this deep and wide—literPIONEER COLUMNIST ally a time to dictate the nation's long-term goals—can end up tragically neglected if harnessed to short-term planning. Particularly in areas of domestic policy, the standard Republican party reliance on market forces has proven to be as void of sophistication as the liberal Democratic allegiance to the Great Society mythology. As far back as Eisenhower's reluctance to endorse school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas, and extending to the veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1990, the GOP's proactivity in championing the poor has been sheer inactivity. President Bush has even stated his preference for foreign affairs. This attitude is to be expected: foreign policy permits quick, noble, dramatic scenes, like the eviction of Iraq from Kuwait. Domestic problems, on the other hand, offer no euphoric conclusions, have less direct impact on the wealthy, and tend to be unresponsive to short-term solutions. Hence, the GOP is hardly concerned with forging better domestic policy when the bird of political dominance is well in hand anyway. As stated, the bad news for the country will be evident a decade or so from now, when we are paying, more than ever, for the lack of domestic problem solving. The detriments will be widespread across all the areas of Republican indifference: the environment, education, health care, and race relations. Sadly, seizing this moment, and making great history, are unnecessary to achieving the short-term goal of reelection. A less disastrous outlook features democrats finding an outside, untested candidate. This powerful, unusual nominee would be able to articulate the liberals' last vestige government as social healer - while embracing America's renewed faith in a strong military presence. Virtually the only bearer of these standards is Gen. Colin Powell, the Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Gen. Powell is politically balanced in his advocacy of both affirmative action and military adequacy, interested supporters will have to overcome one obstacle: he hates politics. On the other hand, so did two other Generals-turned-President: Washington and Eisenhower. �Campus reacts to ROTC action Editorial insensitive P IONEER 250-2 S.

MARK TWAIN I was at the Feb. 28/March 1 meeting of the Statewide Academic Senate that voted to urge CSU campuses to eliminate ROTC programs until the Department of Defense ends its discrimination against gays and lesbians. I am one of the two senators from San Marcos to sit in the Academic Senate: I voted for the resolution and I am proud of it It is true that a ban on ROTC will disadvantage low-income students in the CSU: certainly one of the few ways which our government chooses to support either education or economic mobility in our society through the military. But the editors of the Pioneer should not blame the Academic Senate for this state of affairs; rather the Pioneer should put the blame squarely where it belongs - on the Department of Defense. I can assure you that the day the DOD rescinds its ban on homosexuals in the military, I will vote to restore ROTC programs on CSU campuses. Despite disclaimers, the Pioneer's editorial is homophobic. I fail to understand what besides their homosexuality disqualifies these men and women from serving their country. How can someone suggest that gays and lesbians are not people of the "highest moral character" and not be a homophobe? Does the Pioneer really believe that the high moral character is a litmus test for enlistment? If so, can the Pioneer assure me that the U.S. military screens out tax cheats, adulterers, spouse and/or child abusers, alcoholics and/or drug users and overly aggressive, violent personalities from its ranks with the same relish that it goes after homosexuals? The Pioneer i s wrong. There are gays and lesbians in the military: lots of them. And they serve alongside their comrades with a minimum of conflict and with great distinction. Let me tell the Pioneer's readers about one such soldier. Perry Watkins served in the army for 16 years as an openly gay man. He received the highest possible evaluations until he was unceremoniously discharged. An appeals court ordered him reinstated on the grounds that the Army had no right to discharge Mr. Watkins since it had repeatedly allowed him to re-enlist even though it knew he was gay: last year the U.S. Supreme Court let the ruling stand. Today thousands of homosexual soldiers, sailors, marines and air force personnel are serving in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Some have been told that they face discharge after they return from the war. The military has told them, in effect, that they can serve their country in war time, that they can die for their country, but that they are not good enough to serve it in peacetime. Where is the fairness in the military's behavior? I c an't see i t Just as I c an't see as fair a military sponsored educational program that asks the CSU to grant academic credit for "military science" subjects and then limit access to that program by discriminating against homosexuals and anyone who has harbored a homosexual thought. That* right The military asks ROTC candidates to sign a statement declaring that they are not homosexuals and that YOUR VIEWS STUDENT FORUM they have never entertained homosexual ideas. That's a standard that few of us could m eet Is thq Pioneer suggesting that people lie in order to become "spotless examples o f... social morality?" So get off the Academic Senate's back, Pioneer. If you really care about restoring access to educational benefits for disadvantaged students, then write the Department of Defense, your congressional representatives, even the President and tell them that you want them to end their discrimination against the fine young gay and lesbian students who want to serve their country and to get access to those same educational benefits. You wouldn't tolerate them discriminating against racial or religious minorities and you c an't tolerate them discriminating against a minority whose sexual orientation is not yours. P ATRICIA S . SELESKI/ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY and CSUSM STATEWIDE ACADEMIC SENATOR ROTC needs support There has been many opinions in \hcPioneer which I did not agree with, but I chose not to respond to them in the "Your Views" section because I did not feel strongly enough about a particular story or opinion to respond with a written rebuttal. But, I have changed my position about not responding because of one story that was printed in the Pioneer on March 19 of this year. The story that I am speaking about, is the CSU Academic Senate calling for a systemwide ban of ROTC because ROTC discriminates against homosexuals. When the CSU Academic Senate passed the resolution on March 1, they stated, "the ROTC SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor. Submit letters in Pioneer's mailbox in the Student Services Office. program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of basic human rights and inimical to the values of the university, and is a violation of non-discrimination policy for the CSU system," as reported in the Pioneer. The first question that must be asked: Is ROTC violating the basic human rights of certain students? I believe that the ROTC is not violating any humanrightsbecause ROTC is not essential for an individual's existence. The second question that must be asked: IS ROTC violating the values of the University? I believe it is not violating the values of the university because the university's values should parallel the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but if the university's values allow for the deviant behavior of some, then I must agree with the CSU Academic Senate that ROTC violates the university's values. Everyone remembers the speedy victory of our troops in the Persian Gulf against Saddam Hussein. Where did the military get most of its officers? The military got most of their officers from the ROTC programs run by the Army, Navy and Air Force. I believe ROTC is essential for the recruitment and training for the future officers thatfillthe positions in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Therefore, the ROTC is an investment in the young people of today and the national security of tomorrow. The CSU Academic Senate claims that the ROTC is discriminating against homosexuals. But, if the CSU Academic Senate gets its way on the ROTC issue, then the Academic Senate is also guilty of discrimination. They would be infringing on the rights of students because students interested in participating in ROTC would not have the opportunity to do so. L et's say, for the sake of argument, that a student who has a limited income chooses to participate in ROTC and then suddenly the ROTC program is expelled from the CSU campuses. Then the student has to attend an expensive private university to participate in the ROTC program, or has to withdraw from the CSU because he or she cannot afford school without the ROTC scholarship. Does the CSU Academic Senate want to be responsible for the withdrawal of tens of hundreds of students because they have to impose their beliefs of individuals who pay their salaries and for their facilities in which they do their research to further their careers and their academic reputation? I call on the students of CSU San Marcos to reject this feeble-minded resolutions from the CSU Academic Senate because i t's an attempt by the CSU Academic Senate to impose their ultra-liberal views on us as students and on our institutions in which we fund and control as citizens of the state of California. Furthermore, if the CSU chooses to expel ROTC from the campuses, then they should expect lobbying of state and federal legislators to create abill which cuts off all federal and state funds to the CSU system, and heavily tax any gifts that the CSU receives. W ILLIAM R . C HRISTENSEN 11/ CSUSM STUDENT �12 ACCENT P IONEER /TUESDAY, A PRIL 2, 1991 Play shows m eeting o f b lack l eaders J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Without a theater or even any type of performing arts department, Cal State San Marcos will hold its first theatrical performance this Sunday with a presentation of 'The Meeting,' a one-act play. CSUSM's StudentLounge, aroom where everything from orientations to conceits are held, will be transformed to resemble a Harlem hotel room, the set for 'The Meeting.' "We've rented three sets of staging; the rest would have to be done with imagination," said Donald Funes, Liberal Arts Dean. " It's radio for the eyes." The simple set allows for the meeting of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The two leaders engage in an arm-wrestling challenge. " It's based on three arm-wrestling games that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X have," Funes said. "King wins one, Malcolm wins the other and they tie the last. It signifies what would happen if they were working together." Funes said the one-act play is an Rocky and Bullwinkle stab a t conventionalit When I was a kid I was told by my mom that brussels sprouts (the bane of all children) were only tiny cabbages. I suddenly developed a hate for cab. As I grew older, I found that really isn't so bad. Even brussels sprouts, when smothered in cheese sauce, are mostly edible. The same thing goes «for'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' When I was a kid, the shoddy animation and corny dialogue of the program always inspired me to switch the channel to Bugs Bunny, or even — gag — Felix the Cat. As an adult, however, I am forced to reevaluate my position. Sure the dialogue is still corny the animation still stinks, but now see things in the cartoon that slipped by my younger mind. Hidden among the terrible puns, the script constantly smacks the establishment alongside the head. We know the heroes: there's the whimpy flying squirrel, Rocky, and the lanky, dull-witted moose Bullwinkle. Together they haplessly fall into adventure after adventure. Neither of our two protagonists seems to be particularly heroic, but the two make a likeable duo. ^ Xhe villains are two putzes from PotsylvaniayBoris B^ronofT and Natasha. If you liked Gold War politics, you'll love these two numskulls, VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Of course Rocky and Bullwinkle always end up victorious over their arch-rivals, but it isn't because of their massive intellects. They win in the end simply because we expect them to, and survive the most harrowing cliffhangers ever devised in cartoonville. The best part about the cartoon is the sharp witted script which stabs at everything from smog to television. The show even mocks itself at times. In one scene, Boris and Natasha are off to get an A-bomb to destroy our heroes. Bullwinkle makes the observation that, "A-bomb is what some people will call our program." In between spurts of RockyBullwinkle storyline are regular short skits in the program. One such short is 'Fractured Fairy Tales.' As you probably guessed, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' gives nice malignant twists to classic childhood stories. One episode has a wolf who is trying to kick the habit of eating Little Red Riding Hoods. Of course the wolf gets thrashed by both Little Red Riding Hood and her meek grandma. I won't tell you the ending, but suffice to say that nobody lives happily ever after. History isn't even safe from the satirical barbs of 'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.'

The performers are with the Orange County Black Actors Theater. They include Bingwa, Curtis Thomas and Caril Gillard. Adaline Hunter is the director.

" It's first come, first serve," Funes said. The newly formed CSUSM history club is helping transform the lounge into a theater. The Rivals' absorbs audience in two acts D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Rivaling most any otherplay, ' The Rivals' is an intimate, delicate presentation of the trials and tribulations of love which absorbs and includes the audience so well, that everyone in the theater is involved in the plot, the setting and the ending. Set in 18th-century Charleston, South Carolina, ' The Rivals' i satwoact play. The story begins with three rivals, Jack Hosdiate, Sir Lucius O'Trigger and Bob Acres, who are all after the hand of Lydia Lanquish, the heroine played by Cynthia Peters. Servants, aunts, fathers, friends, and enemies keep the true hero from getting to Languish, which makes the play both hysterical and entertaining. One would think the Old English dialogue in the play would be difficult to understand; however, the acting and stage directing is so nearly perfect that the language is never a barrier to overcome for the audience. The viewers seem to understand every gibe and satirical remark. The actors are witty and charming, with gestures and facial expressions that personify specific characters on the stage. Bob Acres, for example, is the perfect country bumpkin trying to capture the alluring Lydia Languish by portraying himself as a "country gentleman." Acres, played by Andy Wynn, thinks that by changing his clothes and the furniture in his house, SEE R IVALS /PAGE 15 �TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991/PIONEER ACCENT 13 On C ampus American Indian Cultural Fair: Co-sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and SDSU North County, this annual festival will be April 13 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Red Barn, 149 East San Marcos Blvd. This special event will feature the Alaska Ku-Tee-Ya Dancers, Kumeyaay Bird Dancers, Luiseño Singers of San Diego County, San Diego InterTribal Drum and Dancers, American Indian Storytellers, Pageant of Traditional Dress and Adornment and more.

Rancho Santa Fe Rd., #106 San Marcos, CA 92069 744-1313 is supposed to. The Lamb's Theatre is a small, almost obsolete type of theater. Inside the lobby, you will feel closed-in and smothered. When entering the theater itself, however, you can sense the intimacy that is within, which is partly because of the theater-in-the-round setting. The theatre-in-the-round is difficult to direct because not only is there an audience on all four sides of the stage, but there is the change of props between acts seen in front of the entire theatre audience; there is no curtain here. Because of this stage set-up, the audience always knows when the scenes change. The cast combats this inconvenience by having the servant characters rotate the stage to a different position, depending on the scene. This way, viewers on all sides of the theater are able to see actors and the stage from every angle. Lamb's Players Theatre, San Diego's only year-round professional acting ensemble, has set its 1991 season of production. After opening this year's season with 'The Rivals,' the Players will present 'The Boys Next Door,' by Tom Griffin. Arnold, Lucien, Norman and Barry are the most unique bunch of neighbors you could ever ask for - golf pro, expert on Russian, doughnut king and conqueror of rodents - but i t's best not to be fooled by these characters' appearances. This off-Broadway hit will bounce you from laughter to tears and back. T he Boys Next D oor' runs April 19 through May 25. 'The Trip to Bountiful,' June 14 through July 20, is Horton Foote's delicate Southern Portrait of Carrie Watts who longs to visit the little rural town where she grew up, whether or not her family thinks it best. They say you can never go home again, but sometimes i t's the journey that matters. Aug. 9 through Sept. 14 brings 'Traveler in the Dark.' Even the most firmly held convictions can be shaken by the loss of a friend or the questions of a 12-year-old. This is Marsha Norman's fascinating contemporary exploration of the boundaries of thé mind and reaches of the heart. Closing the 1991 season is 'Quilters,' the award-winning musical by M olly N ewman and B arbara Damashek. 'Quilters' is a celebration of the pioneer spirit of the everyday, extraordinary women who helped settle the West. Performances are O ct 4 through Nov. 16. All performances are at Lamb's Players Theatre at 500 E. Plaza Blvd. in National City. Season ticket prices are $47-$81, with gift certificates available.

At the conference, held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, students from universities across the nation will share their research projects in 18-minute oratory presentations. Traditionally, the conference was restricted to research projects of technical nature, however, this year papers from the field of humanities will also be presented. Students CynthiaChovich and Anne Radspinner were chosen by Professor Madeleine Marshall to represent CSUSM because of research papers done for her Women's Studies course last semester. "Several other students did extraordinary work as well," cited Marshall. She said that Chovich's and Radspinner's papers were selected because of their adaptability for presentation. For the conference, each paper must be transformed into an 18-minute oral presentation. After each address, the students will be questioned about the subject of the presentation. Radspinner, who wrote her paper about a quarrel between Mary Wolstencraft and Jean Jaques Rousseau, said she is nervous about presenting a literary topic to academics who have strong literary foundations. "I don't feel that I have enough literature background to get up and talk about it," she said. Chovich expressed that she too was nervous about the conference, but said she felt honored and excited about being chosen to attend it. Her paper deals with Delariviera Manley, an 18thcentury woman author who was known for her bold points of view. "(When I chose the assignment) I told Madeleine I wanted to profile a woman who was outrageous and outspoken," said Chovich. In the 1700s, Manley was jailed for her book, "The New Atlantis." She was later released after men of the time summized that a woman was incapable of writing such controversial works. Marshall said that both papers represented a pioneering spirit that students have adopted in their approaches to research papers at CSUSM. She said that students helped each other in the process of gathering information for the assignment According to Marshall, the college has given overwhelming support for the conference. She said that founding faculty member Joan Gundersen (History) and Executive Vice President Richard Rush were integral in the process of entering and attending the conference. Construction starts amid drought L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though construction has begun on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building, campus officials are concerned that the current drought and budgetary problems may drown all hopes of opening the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. campus by the scheduled fall 1992 date. According to Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, all of the time buffer allotted to the project was eaten up in a 12-week construction halt, which stemmed from a dispute between former contractor Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss. "If we experience any more delays," said Amado, "the college will be forced to find additional renting space for fall 1992." Amado said that since the replacement of Louetto by the San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Co., construction has moved along at a brisk pace. According to Amado, Lusardi met its first deadline with the completion of pads for the Phase I Academic Buildings and Craven Hall. Work on the six-story centerpiece began March 4, with construction on the academic complex buildings starting on March 5. Central plant construction is scheduled to commence this summer. Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing campus construction is the 5-year-old drought which is currently plaguing California. Last Thursday, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would require that residents of S an Diego County cut water usage 50 percent during the summer. "I have not yet been advised of water shortages hurting construction," Amado said. He pointed out that the decision ofwhether or not to cut water supplies to construction projects will come directly from the County Water Authority. Mark Watton, of the CWA, speculated last Friday that, even with the series of storms heading toward San Diego, the amount of water added to the state's reserves would be minimal. He said that cutbacks would be reduced by only a few percentage points even SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 4 �N ews Briefs FEE INCREASE APPROVED In a unanimous vote by the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday , a proposed fee increase of 20 percent by California Governor Pete Wilson was approved. If Wilson's budget is implemented, the fee increase will take affect in fall, 1991. The budget increase would raise part-time tuition by $90 per-year and full-time tuition by $154. A ten-point plan addressing the 1991-92 CSU budget was also presented to the governor by the trustees. Due to the failure of Prop. 143 in November, the CSU system faces a shortfall in revenues totalling $90 million. GOVERNMENT SURVEY TABULATED Tabulations of a survey of how a government representing the student body should look, are now in. Of the 126 surveys received, all but 10 supported efforts to form a student governmental organization. The predominant model chosen by those who completed the questionnaire was a representative-type of government. This form of government received 68 responses of favorable manner, while the Presidential model got 26 and the Corporate/Municipal model registered 21 votes. Eight of those surveyed had no opinion. The. results indicated that the Associated Students' constitution should have an initiative process and recall provisions. Direct election was the favored form of selection of governmental representatives, with 87 positive responses. Most students said they would prefer that the head of the student government be a president rather than a chairperson of the Board or council chair. NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED The CSUSM Office of Financial Aid has information and applications for the two new scholarships. Both scholarships are available for undergraduate students at CSUSM. The American Association of University Women is a $250award for female juniors or seniors who are San Diego County residents and have at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Deadline for applications is May 1,1991. The Great Western/Rancho Pefiasquitos S cholarship is for an undergraduate Business major with a 3.0 or higher GPA. The award is for $500 and the application deadline is June 3,1991. In addition to the new scholarships, the Office of Financial Aid would like to inform students that several good on-campus jobs are now available for CSUSM students that have been awarded college workstudy. NEWSPAPER STAFF TO ATTEND STATEWIDE CONFERENCE Members of the staff of Pioneer, are scheduled to attend a statewide journalism conference in Sacramento March 21,22 and 23. The conference, held by the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA), will be attended by representatives from 23 university newspapers across California. At the yearly event, delegates will attend seminars and compete in on-site competitions. Previous issues of Pioneer have been sent for judging, with results to be announced during the conference. "If we receive only one award," said Larry Boisjolie, Pioneer's Editor-in Chief, "it will be a remarkable achievement." According to Boisjolie, the conference allows CSUSM students to participate in an intercollegiate event for the first time. Along with Boisjolie, Graphics Director Jonathan Young, staff writers Debbie Duffy and Elaine Whaley, and photographer Kathy Sullivan will partic pate in the conference. University, local businesses will be 'partners' in education J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER With an announcement of the implementation of a Business Partners Program at Cal State San Marcos last Tuesday, Business Administration Department officials introduced a mentor program exclusive to CSUSM. "We believe that this program is the first in America to take the integration of the University and the Business Community to such lengths," said Bernard Hinton, Dean of Business Administration. "Others have developed a number ofexcellentprograms . ...The critical difference in our program is the concept of a true partnership, a full and total involvement of members of the business community in the education of today's students and tomorrow's business managers." As a four level plan, the Business Partners Program would unify the academic and business communities. The Business Associates, Business Partners, and Senior Business Partners programs will establish a business mentorship program, with each program reflecting increasing levels of company participation. A B usiness Affiliates program will also be implementèd forfirmswhich lack the resources to participate in the higher levels of personal involvement or commitment required for the other programs. "The (overall) program calls for each College of Business Administration student to be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community," said Hinton. "The same student/mentor relationship will be maintained . .. for the duration of the Business club forming In order to facilitate the process of locating mentors to participate in the recently announced Business Partners Program, the CSUSM Business Students Association will hold its first meeting today at 6 p.m. Another meeting will be held March 20 at noon. The primary task of the BS A is to compile a pool of businesses that would be interested in participating in the Business Partners Program, a new program announced by the College of Business Administration last Tuesday. The group is being organized, under the guidance of Business Dean Bernard Hinton, to give students the opportunity to aid in the selection of candidates for the program. The Business Partners Program will be implemented in fall 1991 and requires a personal tutor for each College of Business student. CSUSM officials estimate 400-500 students will enroll in the business program that semester. Times and club leaders will be chosen at the first two meetings. student's stay at CSU, San Marcos." Hinton said the program would be beneficial for both students and businesses. "As the mentoring relationship develops, the student is expected to become involved in resolving realworld programs . ..," Hinton said. "We are confident that the Business Partners Program will allow us to forge a strong link between classroom experience and business experience. It is designed to address the needs of the business community of San Diego and North County, to provide graduates who have a practical business orientation, and to help students successfully launch their careers in the business world." The Business Mentors Program will be the first in the nation to mandate mentoring within the curriculum, rather than having it serve in an adjunctive role in the student's education. "While mentoring has been widely accepted as an especially effective way of assisting individuals in their learning process, the idea of formal business mentoring of all students is one that I believe to be unique to CS U, San Marcos," Hinton said. Hinton said this program will be in place by fall of 1991. With the expected enrollment at that time, the College of Business needs 400-500 mentors to be involved with the program. . "We are dependent upon (the media) to help us get the word out to our potential partners that we are ready, willing, and able to do our part, but they must first identify themselves," Hinton said.

In a resolution passed March 1, the CSU Academic Senateclaimed the ROTC program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orien tation is a violation of basic humanrightsand inimical to the valuesof the university, and is in violation of a non-discrimination policy for the CSU system. Therese Baker, Sociology Founding Faculty, serves as the CSU San Marcos representative to the Academic Senate. "I think the main discussion in the resolution is that the CSU does not support groups and Medication now more accessible If you have read the papers lately, or even watched some television, you may have noticed the current advertising blitz for Gyne-Lotriman. This medication for vaginal yeast infections can now be purchased over the counter since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Monistat, another medication for vaginal yeast infections, will also be available very shortly. These are more effective than the currentover-the-countermedications and previously were only available by prescription from a physician. Both medications are considered to be very safe if one doesn't have an allergy or sensitivity to them. Both have been used for a long time and have few side effects. How these drugs will be used, however, has raised concerns in the medical community. According to the drug companies, they are supposed to be used by women who previously have been diagnosed and have recurrent vaginal yeast infections. The symptoms of the problem are fairly straightforward: a white cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching. There should not be abdominal pains, fever, urinary symptoms ar skin lesions present Women who have recently been on antibiotics, who are on oral contraceptives or who are pregnant are most likely to develop yeast infections. Unfortunately, some women associate itching with a yeast infection and are likely to use the medication which could mask symptoms of more serious infections. PARTNER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 forward and let us know of their interest in joining with us." As of Friday, not even a week after the announcement, Hinton said he has already received a response. HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS In college-age women, Human Papilloris Virus (HPV), a sexuallytransmitted genital warts skin condition of the vulva, and genital herpes v iruj infection can have similar initial symptoms to a yeast infection. Because of this, weatHealth Services advise that women who have multiple sex partners and are at highrisk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases see a health-care provider for any vaginal symptoms, even if they have had a yeast infection before. Likewise, women who use the medications but don't see improvement quickly or who have had to use the medication as frequently as four times peryear,shouldconsultahealthcare provider. Perhaps the more compelling reason for students to visit Health Services is that Gyne-Lotriman will cost approximately $18 over the counter, while our prescription yeast medication will cost you $6-7 per-prescription and you can be assured of the diagnosis. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the Chief pyhsician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. programs that discriminate against students, especially on sexual orientation," Baker said. The ROTC program assists with the funding of a students' college education with the agreement that that student will join the military as an officer. The Department of Defense has apolicy prohibiting homosexuals from becoming officers in all branches of the armed forces. "ROTC brings more educated students into the military," said Baker, "as well as giving support to students who want to go into the military." The Academic Senate urged the Department of Defense to end its discriminatory policy based on sexual orientation. In a written response, the Department of Defense wrote: "Accordingly, we do not plan to reassess the Department's policy on homosexuality." New center reduces writing anxiety LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Faced with a menacing 2,500-word, across-thecurriculum writing requirement, Cal State San Marcos students are hard-pressed to deal with anxiety created by term paper assignments. To help students. in the process of writing class assignments, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing center. The Center uses student tutors to help decipher class writing projects. "This is not a paper mill," says Mendoza. He stresses that the objective of the Center is to help students formulate their own ideas and not to write their papers. The 10 student tutors working in the Center are comprised mostly ofEnglish and Liberal Studies majors. They meet with Mendoza on a bi-weekly basis in seminars to learn tutoring concepts and methods of dealing with problems. Each tutor is required to spend a minimum of two hours per week in the Center. In return, they receive three units of class credit each. "We've had people from eight different majors use the Center so far," says Robin Keehn, student director for the Writing Center. Keehn says she has already tutored students who had difficulty approaching research papers, poetry interpretations, journalsand social-psychology papers. Even though tutors will face subject matter with which they may be unfamiliar, Keehn says tutors still can help students formulate their own ideas. "Tutors can help anyone get ideas for papers," she points out. "No writer writes within a vacuum." Tutor Elizabeth Sansom says that feedback is an important element in the paper-writing process. "I would not think about turning in a paper without getting feedback first," she says. Since its opening a month ago, the Writing Center has increased in its popularity. Keehn says that business is expanding so quickly at the Center, that students are advised to make appointments with tutors. "I had to turn away three students yesterday," Keehn said last Friday. With the second half of the spring semester starting after Easter, tutors anticipate an increase in students using the Center. Since many assigned papers are due in the final days of class, tutors expect the need for the Writing Center to increase. Keehn stresses that students should utilize the facilities at the Center in order for the program to continue its operation. "Our hope is that we will prove the worthiness of this project," cites Keehn. "If we want to make our program live, we need students." Student tutor Roy Latas says that professors he has informed about the Writing Center have expressed enthusiasm in the concept and have openly encouraged students to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by i t Keehn says the Center will help students at any stage of the paper-writing process. From die "germ of an idea" to the final product, students need help in approaching problems, says Keehn. "I guarantee that if anyone brings a paper in here, the writing will improve."

With the series of storms expected to hit San Diego in the next week, Amado said he is also concerned about construction delays that might be incurred with rains. Another problem facing the budding campus is the lack of available funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 last November, money, that would have gone into furnishing the new buildings, suddenly became unavailable. "The state is currently experiencing major financial difficulties," said Amado. " It's difficult to acquire any type of additional funding." Funding has already been approved for all of Phase I, but Amado said the rate at which Phase II will begin is dependent upon another source of income. �TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991/PIONEER 5 S PRING P ERM S PECIALS HAIR DEPOT & TAN's Custom Perms, Specialty Wraps, Spirals, Piggybacks, All Perms Call for a FREE consultation with one of our professional stylists!

The Academic Senate claims the basis for such a suggestion stems from the ROTC's refusal to accept homosexuals into its organization. Because of the organization's bias, the Academic Senate feels it necessary to deprive low-income citizens—who have no prayer of raising funding for education save through the programs ROTC offers — of higher education. Once again the overly liberal academic community contradicts its own goals through its actions. The Academic Senate seems more concerned with making a liberal statement than it does with the advancement of education to as many people as possible. Themilitary'spolicyofnotacceptinghomosexualsamongits ranks is a valid age-old policy that is reflective of the moral integrity that our armed forces are supposed to represent Those that serve in the American military should be spotless examples of perceived social morality. Whether we like it or not, the military is an elite, sexually segregated club that has proven its ability to run efficiently without the opinions of the academic community. Whether we like it or not, it should remain as such. Its members should be constructed of the highest moral fiber attainable in America. Even though this goal will never be fully met, it can be pushed along towardfruitionwith the policy of antihomosexuality. Issues of sexuality have no place on the battlefield. If the American military starts accepting homosexuals what will be next? Coed bunkers? Perhaps a battalion of those who practice bestiality will arise. Even with this age of sexual enlightenment and tolerance, homosexuality is still considered socially aberrant behavior. For thisreasonwe will never have a gay President nor should we have a gay militia. The reason homosexuality becomes a public issue for discrimination is that liberal organizations, like the Academic O U R V IEWS ••••^HaHHBHHHaHHHBHi STAFF EDITORIAL Senate, make it one. S exual p reference should remain private b usiness not to be shared with the world at large. For those who cry about discrimination heaped upon toem because of their sexuality, we can only say, "You should have kept it to yourself and your partner. We didn't care to know about your sex life in the first place." With its shunning of ROTC, the Academic Senate is drawing attention to an issue that few of us, save the vocal out-of-thecloset homosexuals care about. As a result of its action, those who joined ROTC to afford a quality education will be deprived. Why should the military discriminate against a private activity like homosexuality you may ask? The answer is simple. On the battlefield private lives temporarily cease to exist. All personal problems and abnormalities are shared with the guy in the trench next door. Imagine how comfortable a guy in a tank would feel when confined with a raging queen. The last thing his uncomfortable mind will want to do is fight the enemy. We at Pioneer are by no means homophobic, rather we would like to stress the point that individuals with contempt for homosexuals do exist Judging from the very goal of the military, it is probably safe to say that more than one homophobe exists in the armed services. The last thing our military needs is internal conflicts between heterosexuals and gays. So what is the Academic Senate really doing by condemning the ROTC's age-old policy? They are simply trying to gain some liberal ground that is currently slipping with the rise in the conservative military's popularity. That's a pretty sad reason for excluding the needy from education. Imagine a country so buried in its own garbage it pays poor countries to take the waste off its own hands. Or a country that actually considers sending its trash into space. Or a country with barges piled high with trash and nowhere to go. As we approach the 21 st anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, there is no need to imagine such a country; it is America. It is time to realize that, as consumers, we are being used in a game for profit in which we profit nothing. The $85 billiona-year plastics indusSTUDENT FORUM try has sold us the idea that plastic is the perfect packaging; it is convenient, non-1 breakable, squeezable and disposable. What do plastic manufacturers mean by disposable? Although the plastics industry makes huge profits, the responsibility for disposal is ours, not theirs. And the fact that unnecessary plastic packaging will not decompose for at least 400 years is alarming indeed. Consider this: we throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles, 2.25 million disposable diapers, and 250,000 plastic pens every hour! While the numbers themselves are staggering, when coupled with the reality that these products will remain in the environment longer than our cars, our homes, our children,t)ur grandchildren and their grandchildren, we realize the plastic industry's definition of "disposable" is not ours. Once plastic refuse enters the environment it is not stagnant; rather it is an active threat, killing one to two million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year. These innocent victims unknowingly ingest or become entangled in our disposable plastics. According to David Laist of the Marine Mammal Commission in Washington D.C., "Plastics may be as great a source of mortality among marine mammals as oil spills, heavy metals or toxic materials." While this plastic threat can float in our oceans or waterways for a long time, it also washes up on our beaches, causing an enormous litter problem. On a typical day at Beacon's Beach in Leucadia, I found: plastic milk bottles, soda bottles, six-pack holders, tampon applicators, shampoo, mustard and catsup bottles, a bandage box, suntan lotion, motor oil and brake fluid bottles, razors, diapers, fast food plates and cups, etc., etc. Now we must realize that the production of this refuse is dangerous. TheEnvironmentalProtection Agency has a list of 20 chemicals, the production of which creates the greatest amount of hazardous waste, and five of the top six are chemicals used most often by the plastics industry. The production of plastic generates hazardous waste, emits toxic chemicals into the air, while also polluting our water. Plastics are also dangerous to incinerate because of the toxic fumes emitted.

It pays no attention to criticism." N .DEKALB K UWANIS B EACON With war in the Middle East waning (for now), the national consciousness has returned to domestic issues. Among these issues, deterioration in world market competitiveness has American economists and politicians looking toward Japan, and its economic strategy, as a possible panacea to emulate for the nation's economic affliction. This elixir has unhealthy side-effects and will only put the American economy into a coma by widening the fissure between the rich; who are increasing in political power, and the middle-class; who, for the first time in US history, have a lower standard of living than their parents and are joining the ranks of the poor; who are increasingly growing in quantity and decreasing in political status as evidenced, for example, by funding cuts in medical care. Japan's industrial targeting, through such bodies as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), has set up a dichotomy of winners and losers. Import barriers, such as on rice, force Japanese consumers to pay more for the grain and gives farmers there an inflated p rofit Itiscommonfora Japanese urban middleclass family to live in an apartment of less than 1,000 square feet, pay more for food and other goods than their American counterparts, and deal with a bureaucracy that forces them to buy a new car every two or three years. Does the American public need this kind of big-brother government intrusion into its daily lives? Additionally, M i l l ' s development policies have often been wrong. In the early 1950s MITI opposed Sony's attempt to go into transistorized goods, citing that the U.S. had cornered this VIEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 of plastics produced are recycled because, according to Solana Recyclers, the only market for recycled plastic is beverage bottles. Because of the mounting concerns of consumers over the hazards of plastic waste, the industry is trying to sell us their solution in the form of "biodegradable" plastic. This may indeed pose a new problem. Because the same chemicals are used in the production of "biodegradables," the hazards of manufacturing and incineration remain the same. "Biodegradable" plastics can take months to break down, allowing plenty of time to suffocate or entangle wildlife and marine mammals. Smaller pieces are also easier for animals to ingest. What is most frightening, is the health hazards they may create when broken down. This concerns the EPA because, when plastics disintegrate into smaller pieces, there is more surface area exposed from which heavy-metal pigments and other toxics could leach out into the soil. Allen Hershkowitz, a solid waste expert with the Natural Resources Defense Council, has yet another worry. "These little pieces of plastic, which are laced with heavy metals, are small enough to be market. In the 1970s MITI opposed Honda's attempt to venture into automobiles. Do we need, in the United States, a governmental agency telling us, for example, that towns such as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Golden, Colorado should abandon beer production because the Germans have a monopoly on the frothy brew? What the U.S. needs is both capital-intensive, as well as knowledge-intensive, industries if it is to b e a world-market leader. Support for high technology does not mean we intend to write-off heavy industry. What it does mean is that the United States should be the world leader in high technology and therefore command an advantage in international trade. We saw in the war against Iraq how handsome the dividend is when we invest in high technology. We will never produce all the steel we need, but we cannot afford to be without a capacity to produce steel, if for no other reason than strategic defense; at the same time it would be unwise to invest in steel given the nature of external competition. Proponents of the Reagan/Bush economic doctrine contend that by stimulating the economy through tax-breaks for industry, the consumer benefits by virtue of the trickle-down effect. Their mantra-like dogma, they preach, will stimulate the economy through tax reductions for business. This will, in turn, fnotivate growth in industry, giving the group more capital to spend, and with this growth in capital spending comes the need for more workers. More people with jobs means more spending on goods and services which increases demand, and with an increase in demand there will be a need to increase supply which brings more growth in industry. What the consumer may lose initially is made up for ultimately with a decrease in unemployment and more money in his pocket to spend. What the proponents forget is that industry, like Machiavelli's prince, only sows the economic seeds of growth only as much as the amount of money to be reaped. Special-interest groups continue to place pressure on Congress to pass legislation that will favor them; what this means for the rest of us, is less being spent on education, police and fire protection, and other public services, and more money being taken out of our pay checks in order to cover the decrease in assets resulting from tax breaks for those in targeted industries. The Japanese government has shown that large amounts of public funds, along with larger amounts of bureaucrats, are unnecessary for an effective industrial policy. What makes industrial policy work is the competence of those in charge, therigorof the analysis they apply, plus realistic expectations of the market and a philosophy that transcends the American "what can I do to survive this financial quarter" mindset and looks instead at long-term goals. Industrial targeting places a false emphasis on goods that consumers may not want; this means that industrial capacity is sacrificed. In short, all the manure in the world doesn't help the grass grow if the trickle of trickle-down economics wrings the middle-class dry. breathed through the nose and mouth into the lungs," he said. So what can we do to halt this threat to our health and our environment? First, we must stop our cycle of consumption without conscience, and realize the choices we make affect much more than ourselves. We must consider the permanence of the products we choose, while re-using these products as many times as possible. For instance, although a disposable diaper can only be used once, a cloth diaper can be reused hundreds of times. This ' use it once and throw it out' attitude must be stopped. Every time we grocery shop we are asked, "Paper or plastic?" Although the best answer is to bring your own reusable canvas or mesh bag, the second best solution is to choose paper and use it the next time you shop. Some supermarkets even pay when you bring back your bag to be refilled. Before we make a purchase we should consider whether the packaging can be recycled. Because there are many products we cannot buy in recyclable packaging, we must join others in pressing our state and local governments to consider a comprehensive measure to limit or ban the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging, while as individuals we must follow through in our actions by recycling everything we can. Mandatory recycling may also be necessary because, although we have curbside recycling in our communities, only 50 percent of the homes participate. Recycling is everybody's responsibility; therefore we must educate and encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to recycle with 100 percent participation as our goal. Although it may seem we have far to go in the eradication of plastic packaging, let us not lose sight of the tremendous impact the actions of an individual can have. For, if we are to make a change before the next anniversary of Earth Day, it will take individuals like you and me, taking small steps toward a better world. It is only through the collection of many small steps that any great distance can be travelled. SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor.

These craggy hills are ideal for relatively safe casual rock climbing. Exercise caution while climbing. Many of the nooks and crannies, that pepper the hills like an english muffin, are probable homes for rattlesnakes and scorpions. Always look before reaching and check rocks for steadiness. Blow Sands Hill itself is a wide dune-laden area that off-roaders find irresistible. Hiking in the sands is slow-going and not recommended due to the great numbers of allterrain vehicles. With spring break popping up, the desert remains a vast isolated getaway for those suffering from midterm exhaustion. If the desert is your dessert following a hearty meal of midterms, then always remember to leave the area how you found it and take your trash with you. r" FREE Pregnancy Test; • • • confidentiality support information ß lRTHRIGHT 245 N.

A few of those events include T our Anza-Borrego! on March 27, The Anza Expedition on March 28, Fossil Life of Anza-Borrego on March 29 and The Changing Desert Land- popular with all types of off-road vehicles. At night it is often circled and illuminated by headlights. An additional 18,000 acres of land is being acquired to the OHV area and will soon be open to recreational use. More information about the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area can be obtained by calling 767-5391. The Anza-Borrego Desert is also home to several natural, unpaved hiking trails. The Park Rangers caution hikers of cacti and rattlesnakes and recommend carrying plenty of water. One of the most used trails in the park is the Borrego Palm Canyon N ature Trail. This trail starts at the top of the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground an leads to a native palm grove and a year-round stream. There is a slightly longer alternative route which returns hikers via a hillside with some different plants and a good view of the Borrego Valley. This is a 1.5mile trail. A half-mile walk is available with the Panoramic Overlook Trail.

Using the lens as apaintbrush, he meticulously reflected the natural world around him. With a camera Adams was truly one with nature. Because his works teemed with spontaneity and beauty, however, Adams' view of the civilized world seemed cold and contrived. Because of this, Adams' two photographic displays now showing at UCSD clash with each other; one is a perfect example of the technology at the UC campuses, and the other clearly depicts nature in its truest form. Adams was commissioned by the then UC president in 1963 to take vast amounts of pictures of the University's campuses in California. A sample of these photographs is on display in, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,' which means, "Let there be l ight" Every photograph seems to contain either huge, white, stark buildings, portraits or agriculture. None of the "familiar" Adams photographs are even alluded to in this display. One portrait in particular, is a perfect example of the stiffness and separateness that seems to permeate these commissioned photographs. This photograph is named, 'Tony Delap, Instructor, Art Department, 1967. UCI.' In the picture, Delap is seen posing and holding his glasses in his hand as if he is ready to speak. On his face is a pensive, yet knowing mood. In front of Delap is a table filled with geometric shapes, and in back of him there is an array of amateurish art pictures. This portrait is posed, rigid and totally without imagination or creativity. The only photographs worth seeing in the 'Fiat Lux' display are the desert research prints and the agricultural center prints. Otherwise, do not even bother viewing this portion of the exhibit. The second display, 'The Museum Set,' which represents photographs Adams took in 1979, is well worth the trip to the Art Gallery. In this display, Adams creates masterpieces out of the nature he views through his camera. Each print is a delight and a wonder with trees, rocks, mountains, snow, sand, clouds, waterfalls, or people. * vijv. . jfe. ,%/'¥• v.' Ansel Adams used the Scripps Institution of Oceanography as the focus of "The Scripps Pier, ca. 1 966/ The Regents of the University of California now have the rights to this and other Adams-signed photographs. As the viewer approaches the second display, a large portrait of Adams and his camera dominates the wall. Adams is within every single photograph of this display. In 'The Museum Set,' a compelling portrait is, 'Spanish American Woman Near Chimayo, New Mexico. 1937.' This portrait features an older woman. Her face is her life's story. With a small smile, she calmly looks off into the distance. Shrouded in a black veil, her face, with all its tell-tale wrinkles, is encircled and almost protected from the world. Behind her is a bleached, worp, wooden column, which is a reflection of the woman's solid, aged face. Another of Adams' photographs within this display is named, 'Oak Tree. Snowstorm. Yosemite National Park, Ca. 1948.' Standing majestically and powerfully in the middle of the photograph is a solid oak tree, with its branches energetically reaching for the sky. Delicately resting upon the branches of the oak is peaceful snow. Behind this great oak is a small forest, but no tree is as powerful as the oak. This entire photograph gives one the feeling of solitude and peace, and "Evening Clouds and Pool, East Side of the Sierra Nevada, from Owens Valley, California, c. 1962" is traveling with a series of Ansel Adams' photos entrusted with the Pacific Telesis Group. looks as if walking into it would be like walking into heaven. Viewing Adams' photographs is both calming and stimulating at the same time. If you have never seen his works, it is worth driving to the UCSD campus to view this wonderful man's prints. However, skip the technological display, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,* and go directly into the second display, 'The Museum Set.' There are some superb photographs within the second display, and Adams is at his best in these photographs. These two collections will be on display at the Mandeville Gallery on the UCSD campus through April 7. . 'Fiat Lux' collection on UC tour For two decades, 605 signed Ansel Adams photographs of the campuses andresearch centers of the University of California lay sequestered in a University of California archive, virtually forgotten until last year. After they were once again brought to life, 100 of these never-beforeexhibited prints were curated for a traveling exhibition called, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux.' The prints will be shown with selections from a companion exhibitentitled, 'Ansel Adams: The Museum Set,' through April 7, in the Mandeville Gallery of the University of California, San Diego. 'The Museum Set' is a collection of photographs owned by Pacific Telesis Group. Adams created this collection to represent the scope of his l ife's work. He produced only a limited number in this series before his death in 1984. PacTel acquired this set in 1984. The origin of the 'Fiat Lux' set occurred in 1963, when UC president Clark Kerr commissioned Adams to take extensive photographs of the UC campuses for a book that would commemorate the university's 100th anniversary in 1968. The photographs were taken at the University of California's nine campuses, natural reserve systems, research stations and agricultural units during a four-year span. Adams exposed more than 6,000 negatives for the 'Fiat Lux' project. From those, he selected the images to be produced as signed fine prints. The project was to be called 'Fiat Lux,' which is the UC system's Latin motto meaning "Let There Be Light." In conjunction with the publication of the book, Kerr had planned a series of public and private events for the centennial, but the tumultuous political situation at the Berkeley campus, where the UC president's office was located, caused the occasion to pass with little notice. As a result, Adams' works were placed iw'j tnoa gjgW SEE ADAMS/PAGE 13 I JitU *Jf »>'•?•>«»•••..»>if �'NIGHTBREED' A BARKER, BUT Darkman' sheds light on old theme A lot of men think that women have no taste in movies. They are gobbled up in the misconception that the only movies women like are the mushy, gooey romantic flicks. Not me. Whenever I pop into the local Blockbuster Video to make a selection, I put a gag on my date and commence with the choosing. Most of the time my dates find that I can last through a tape that grosses out even the machoest of guys. But queasiness does not a good movie make. I do have a sense for quality control too. Whereas guy s usually pick movies like 'Psycho Freaks From Hell* or 'Amazon Women of Venus,' I go for more first-rate flicks like T h e Exorcist* or 'Poltergeist.' Unfortunately, even I screw up once in a while. On a recent excursion to the video store, I was lured into picking up the worst movie of 1990; a Clive Barker horrible mess known as 'Nightbreed.' If not for my other movie, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman,' the evening would have been a complete waste. The worst t hing a bout 'Nightbreed,' is that it was allowed to reproduce on video cassette. Before the movie begins, author-director Clive Barker primes viewers with a talk of how his movie "breaks the conventions" of the horror genre. It sure does. By combiningpoor acting, a Swisscheesy script and laughable special effects, Barker gives horror-flick conventions the finger. In the movie, Barker creates a ADAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 into the archives in the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley. The sequestered photographs were tracked down only after James Harrod, manager of the UC Irvine Bookstore, became curious about the use of several Adams' prints for a 1986 UC publication. After he had located the photographs at the Bancroft Library, Harrod chaired a committee which then selected 100 prints for an exhibition for the UC systems. The 'Fiat L ux' collection had its inaugural exhibition at the University of California, Irvine, in January. Over the next 16 months the two collections will travel to several UC campuses and to the Oakland Museum. The exhibition and its tour was V IDEO R EWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE mythical world known as Midian, where stupid-looking monsters live in peace to escape the evil humans. The movie's hero is Boone, played by Craig Sheffer (from another turkey 'That Was Then, This Is Now') who is convinced by the evil Dr. Decker, David Cronenberg, that he is a crazed serial killer. I c an't believe that Cronenberg, who directed such horror classics as ' Scanners,' ' Videodrome,' ' Dead Ringers' and 'The Fly,' could act so badly. Working, in the past, with such polished performers as Jeff Goldblum and Jeremy Irons, you'd think he could have picked up acoupleof acting tips. S heffer's love interest, played by Anne Bobby ( 'Bom on the Fourth of July'), is a slam in the face to womenkind. Here is a chick that makes more stupid moves than Saddam Hussein. Women like this in movies went out of fashion when movies with sound hit the m arket All o? this might have been excusable if one or two juicy special effects were used to spice the film .up.

It includes 50 black and white photographs,plus essays by Beaumont Newhall, the founding curator of p hotography f or the museum of Modern Art, New York City; Nancy Newhall, Adams' associate and wife of Beaumont Newhall; Liliane DeCock, another of Adams* associates, and Melinda Wortz, director of the UC Irvine Fine Arts Gallery and a member of the committee which curated the exhibition.

It might not be the most believable film ever made, but it is one of the most fun. Dr. Peyton Westlake, played by Irish actor Liam Neeson ('Suspect'), is just about to discover a new synthetic skin. He can get the skin formula to last for only an hour and a monster verse bad people is corny and overused. Yet, Barker has the audacity to tell the audience how clever he is being. I saw better dialogue in the 1964 Japanese classic, 'Voyage Into Space.' If yourent'Nightbreed,' don'tturn out the lights . .. you'll fall asleep. In honor of its creator, I can honestly say this film is a true Barker! v half, but on the verge of a breakthrough, his laboratory is obliterated by a bunch of thugs led by Larry Drake (Benny from 'L.A. L aw'). Left for dead, Westlake is found in ariverand brought to a medical center where doctors, (thinking they are dealing with just an ordinary John Doe) play around with his nervous system. The result is a man who can feel no pain and has an uncontrollable temper. So what we now have is a guy who c an't be hurt, is mad as hell and has a recipe for synthetic skin that lasts about 90 minutes. Putting on the faces of the villains, Westlake gets his vengeance with superheroic style. Neeson plays his role with nice understated charm. I would have liked to have seen more of him in the movie, but Raimi kept his actor's exposure to a minimum to add mystery. Neeson's Westlake is a cross between 'The Phantom of the .Opera' and 'Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.' He builds great empathy for this tragic hero. Westlake's principle love interest, p layed by F rances M cDormand ('Mississippi Burning') is the kind of woman I like to see in movies. In the character of Julie, she is independent and compassionate, without being s marmy. U nlike t he b imbo in 'Nightbreed,' this woman is a class a ct Director Sam Raimi made some of his great movie magic, that he demonstrated in 'The Evil Dead II,' reappear in his comic book story. The effects are pretty cool with explosions and melting skin galor. As a superhero movie, 'Darkman' kicks the tights off 'Batman' because it concentrates more on the action than the dark undercurrents of the p lot It is a movie that really sheds some light on a old superhero theme. f— C O U P O N — Pancho's Mexican Cuisine O L D C ALIFORNIA R ESTAURANT R O W 1 020 S an M arcos B lvd., # 104 $ a n M arcos, C A 9 2069 (619) 4 71-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.
