Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday, Sept. 5, the
students and faculty of CSUSM
celebrated the grand opening of
the two newest additions to the
campus, the Arts and the Science buildings. The celebration
began in Chavez Plaza at 11 a.m.
with the annual CSUSM student
picnic and was followed by a
ribbon cutting ceremony led by
President Alexander Gonzalez.
Former department chair Bill
Bradbury took a moment to
share his excitement about the
new Arts building and reflect
back on the beginnings of the
Arts program at CSUSM and the
efforts of the late Don Fuentes,
who is remembered for his work
early on in CSUSM's history.
Bradbury hopes that this is the Arts students at CSUSM.

Professor Salah Moukhlis, Photo by Desmond Barca
Today, Professor Salah
Moukhlis will be giving an
informative lecture, followed by
a question and answer session,
on the world of Islam. The lecture will begin at noon in Commons 206, and is scheduled to
run until 1:15. Dr. Moukhlis
intends to spend approximately
15 to 20 minutes discussing the
historical context of Islamic
culture and it's relationship
with the west; afterwards he
will host a question and answer
session in which he will field
questions and attempt to present
an accurate image of Islam based
on his experiences.
Dr. Moukhlis is in a unique
position to promote cultural
awareness having spent much
of his life in the predominantly
Muslim country of Morocco,
where he earned his B.A. degree
in English. Dr. Moukhlis went
on to study in England where
he attained his Masters degree
in British Literature, and then
Comparative Literature in New
York where he earned his Ph.D.

New Systems and Where Our Old Computers Go To Die
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Lead Editor
New shipments containing a
total of 664 new Dell computers
and 164 new Apple computers
might have been seen by anyone
on campus over this past summer.
The new Science Hall (Science
II) was recently equipped with
180 new Dell computers, and 100
new Apple computers have been
installed in the Arts Building.
According to Bill Ward, directqr of Telecommunications and
Network Operations at Caí State
San Marcos, "The system adds

except for one general student
lab [stocked with PC's] that IITS
manages in Science II. (The new
Science Hall] has several new
labs for computer science, math,
physics, [and] biology.". Bill
Craig, (we need his title here),
was unavailable for comment as
to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the
new labs. The remainder of the
shipments was used to refresh
the current systems on campus
and to replace some of the older
model computers in Academic
Hall, Craven Hall, and Science I.
The older systems that were
replaced by the new shipments
have been retired and returned
to the campus materials management for storage. One of three

Saturday, September 7. Otherwise, computers can be donated

Old computer systems can
also be donated to any school

closing another sale at the
Cal State San Marcos Fourth
Annual Surplus Property
Auction on Saturday. The
preview for the auction
started at 9:30 a.m. and the
actual selling began at 11
a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event
where items were sold on an
"as is, where is," basis. The
auction took place at the
v
For sale at the auction were
computers, desks, chairs, TVs,
VCRs, and a lot more. Over all,
there were 400 items for sale.
At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold
for almost $180.00 reported Cal
State student, Ben Arnold but
he said, "Later, I saw people
walk away with computers for
as little as $20. There were a
lot of great deals. We bought a
desk chair for $30."
Robert Aguilar, another
auctioneer, commented that
the auction had a great turn
out. "We had 100 lot sheets,
listing the items available for
sale, ready for the people, and
ran out of them right away. I
believe a lot of people have
walked away very happy. This
is different from what I usually
do. I usually do car auctions. I
am here to help Emilio conduct
the auction and this is more
fun." He also added jokingly,
"Yes, it's true... if you scratch
your eye at thé wrong time, you
might wind up buying something!"
The auction, conducted by
Abamex Auction Company,
was very successful. The
cashier replied, "I am too busy
to know how much money has
been taken in, but everything
seems to be selling."

It May Not Look Different, but
the Dome has Gotten Better
By JENNIFER ACEE
Pride Staff Writer
Although basically hidden
to customers, many changes
to the campus food court, the
Dome, took place over the
summer.
As Aztec Shops employee
Debbie Curtchianti said,
"Most of [the renovation that
took place] was behind the
scenes/'
This included an expansion
that enabled renovation and
upgrades. Asignificantamount
of space added to the kitchen
area, as well as advancements
in the technological equipment
systems used by the food
services, makes for a better
experience for customers.
While things appear
basically the same as they
did last spring in the Dome's
cafeteria and convenience
store, in spite of appearances,
customers may be pleasantly
surprised.
in the mornings and stored
for the day's sales. However,
now meals are cooked in small
quantities throughout the day.
Consequently, as Curtchianti
promised, the food served in
the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's
Pizza and Subs, and the House
of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order.
Along with the positive
changes, prices on some items
have been raised, but only
slightly - $0.25 at the most.
Curtchianti says this is to
accommodate ' for "increasing
minimum wage rates" and any
other increases in production
costs.
The Dome staff now claims
that customers can enjoy
fresher meals at what are still
considered descent prices,
and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good
things are yet to come to the
CSUSM Dome.
The selection of food items
offered in the Dome has not
changed or expanded greatly,
but cooking methods have.
Prior to the renovations, the
food was cooked first thing

In the spring of 1992, CSUSM
awarded thefirstof its Sociology

She designed and launched the

Cal State San Marcos men's
and women's cross country
teams traveled to Mammoth
Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude
training session from -Aug. 24
through the 31 of this year.
The reason behind this type of
training was to increase the lung
capacity of the runners. In doing
so, they increased their stamina
making it easier for them to
gompete at lower altitudes. "The
thin air and less oxygen forces
the body to produce more red
blood cells, which increases the
oxygen in your blood," senior
Brian Sullivan explained.
th
st
The course length that the
women's team, runs for each
event is five kilometers and the
distance for the men's team, is
eight kilometers. With half of
the women's team, and nearly
half of the men's team being
returning runners, there is no
reason for Cougars fans to think
that this year will be anything
out of the ordinary for this
exemplary program.
Returning runners for the
women's team include seniors
Lanele Cox and Camille
Wilborn; and juniors Katherine
Niblett and Felisha Mariscal;
and sophomores Samantha
Delagardelle and Manal Yamout.

that mixing state and non-state
money isn't done, "you keep
those pots of money separate".
Apparently the college of
business and extended studies
developed the hybrid in order for
the university to be able to offer
a competitive MBA program,
as competition for graduate
students in MBA programs has
increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet.
And while some students have
expressed their concern that
the program problems might
devalue their degree, Gonzalez
has assured both students and
the business community that
"the quality of the program was
not affected." Since May 2002,
the MBA program is running on
state money only.
Gonzalez explained that those
involved in starting up the MBA
program, one of whom was Dr.
Bill Stacy who was president of
the university at the time, were
"entrepreneurial" and "creative"
and focused on trying to get an
MBA program established. The
report claims that the program
problems were worsened by the
high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10
years, the college of business
has sustained a loss of "at least
10 faculty members", and there
have also been eight permanent
and acting deans.
President Gonzalez assured
the media during a press conference in July, that "there was
not any fraud involved" and the
procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office
report did not name names and
Gonzalez has suggested that the
people who may responsible are
no longer with the university.
Former program director George
Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused
on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez.
and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to
determine if the problems in the
program were caused by "errors
in judgment" or if anything
illegal or unethical was done
and by whom. The committee
was expected to present their
recommendations and findings
to Gonzalez within 60 days.
The following CSUSM staff and
faculty members make up the
committee: Chair Marion Reid,
Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G.
H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam
Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and

�W alking: Is It R eally So H ard?
By KURT B.MAYER
Pride Staff Writer
Why is it so hard for everyone
to walk around campus? It is
true that there is a parking situation underway at this university,
and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main
entryway is lined with cars from
end to end. In this congested
state it would seem logical to
simply park wherever there was
the least amount of confusion
and the most available space,
even if it was a further walk.
Yet this does not seem to be
the case..
Like many students, I myself
have fallen prey to the "vultures"
which scavenge our parking
lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being
stalked is quite clear when it
happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you
are being watched. You slowly
turn your head and see a blue
Honda civic trailing you, pacing
you. You can try to dodge the
scavenger by cutting through
Indeed, the campus has
needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating
parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply
and run rampant through our
parking lots.
Perhaps the funding is
simply not yet present for
a five, level garage. Yet the
campus still decides not to
blacktop one of the neaiby
vacant fields, if only for an
immediate-term solution.

ASI and its Rules
Recently, ASI asked one of the
student representatives elected
last spring to resign.
Evidently, she did not attend
a "mandatory" ASI retreat over
the summer because of family
obligations that required her to
leave California.
I understand the reason for the
retreat was to provide the new
officers with information they
will need as student representatives.
I believe, however, the ASI is
not acting in the student body's
best interest when it adheres to
average, I find it takes less time
to hike the distance than to hunt
for a parking space. Despite
-this simple reasoning, as I hike
up Craven Road I see countless
others foolishly wandering into
the vultures' lair, and I shake my
head in bewilderment.
Once again, I ask you: why
is it so hard to walk? Walking
is good exercise! In addition to
doing two hundred repetitions
on the- built-in California State
University Stair Master, the
extra twenty to forty pounds of
books each student carries offers
a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your
heart and lungs! Plus, we have
more time to talk on our cellular
phones and bask in the warm
September sun.

car is really parked, but the

around the bend and be there,

Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student
in question received more votes
than any other candidate did. If
she resigns, her post will remain
vacant until it can befilledby an
appointee.
In other words, someone who
did not run for office can replace
someone elected by the students,
although neither attended the
retreat. Where is the logic in that
kind of thinking?

And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made
the rules, then our elected leaders
can certainly make exceptions.
If the school is making the
retreat mandatory, then I believe
a serious conflict of interest may
be occurring.

my logic on
this point.

discussing
this subject
* with my friend,
who graduated from
SDSU three years ago. We both
meet plenty of guys, and girls for
that matter, when we go out. Yet
we never really met many people
at college.
After reading Eric's article
Male Angst I realize we are not
the only ones who wonder why.
My friend, Nicole and I are both
fit blondes and don't have any
problems picking up on guys
if it is necessary, but actually
it has never come to that. Even
though it is 2002, girls still like
it when guys make the first
move.
Now that doesn't mean
using some lame pick-up
line on the girl sitting next
to you in class, college girls
are too smart to fall for that.
Since the guys at CSU
i are also very intelligent
why not use your brains
to strike up an interesting
conversation.
Though the idea of a party
always appeals to me, in fact
love to throw them. But
every time I do throw a party
it requires some investing for
drinks and appetizers and if you
invite people that you don't know
then you have to make sure that
there is someone big enough to
throw anyone out who causes a
fight.
Plus you have to make sure
that no valuables are left out in
case a thief happens to get word
of the party, and we haven't even

gotten to the idea of thé police
coming.
Because even though I like to
give mankind the benefit of the
doubt that these things won't
happen I would be ignorant
to believe that the possibility
isn't out there. Anyone who has
thrown more than one party of
100 people or more knows what
I am talking about.
Now don't jump to conclusions
here, I am not against anything
that
Eric said I am here to give
suggestions from a single girl's
perspective. In fact I would like
this to continue on to a weekly
column. But it doesn't have to be
for just single people. I think that
the whole school could use some
help on getting to know each
other better.
For those 21 and up, there are
great clubs that host 'college
night' in which anyone with a
student ID gets a discount on
drinks. For those under 21, we
could have a weekly posting of
the best movies out and plan a
CSU night starting at a local
restaurant and ending at the
theatre.
Yet the best way to meet people
from CSU is at the cafeteria,
even though I have never formed
a relationship with anyone there,
In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was
a girl from Greenpeace, who
didn't even go to college. She
didn't 'pick-up' on me because
I'm really only attracted to men.
But she did something that
most people at CSU rarely
attempt; she sat at my empty
table and started up a conversation.
Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet
her friends at á club downtown
that weekend She even wrote
down the directions and time
they were going. If a guy were
to make the same effort I would
have been even more willing to
go. Yet there are two key things
that guys should remember when
taking such an approach,
First, it is good to find a
common interest and keep a
conversation going for a little
while, or wait until after you
have met up with the girl more
than once before asking her out.
Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at
least given the option to bring
a friend. So ask her and her
friends to meet up with you and
your friends! Anyhow the first
step begins with you; yes you,
whoever you are. If you want to
meet more people you have to
approach them with some wit
or topic of conversation beyond,
"hey babe, you want to go to a
party with me". Believe it or not
most of us girls have heard that
line before,

with energy, ideas and ambition to match our own.

�Cal State San Marcos Student Missing
By MARTHA SARABIA
Lead Editor
CSUSM student, Alex Ryan
Zíngaro, has been missing since
Sept. 4fromhis Carlsbad home.
His roommate was the last one to
see him last Wed. at 10:00 a.m.
at their apartment.
A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder,
Zíngaro was scheduled to attend
CSUSM classes on Wed. but
never showed up. In addition,
he never went to work at Tony
Roma's restaurant in San Marcos
to what would have been his
second day on the job.
Before disappearing, Zingaro
called his employer to let him
know that he would be late
because he needed to come to
CSUSM. He said that he needed
to make some arrangements for
a class. "He called and said he
was going to crash a class and
he was running late," said one of
Zingaro's co-workers.
Although Zingaro has not
been seen since last Wednesday,
his belongings, which include
schoolbooks, clothes, and his
surfboard, are still in his apartment.
Both of his parents have said
that he is not the kind of person
to disappear without calling and
that he kept in close touch with
them as well as with his younger
brother. However, the police
do not think there is anything
unusual about his disappearance,
other than that he has turned up
missing. There is no suspicion of
foul play.
starting classes. His father has
said that there has not been any
activity in his bank account
since he disappeared. Family
andfriendshave also said that
he is a responsible person and
has not been known to use drugs.
They have also handed out many
flyers about Zingaro's disappearance to the community.
The police are asking those
