EIC to close Draft legislation alive in senate
without
passage of
referendum
Childcare services
to end without new
f unds
BY TIFFANY LIU
Pride Staff Writer
Childcare services on campus will end
a fter this semester unless students approve
additional funding.
Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) has owned and operated the Early
Learning Center (ELC) which provides low
cost childcare services for students, faculty,
and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer
be available.
If no new f unding source i s acquired,
childcare services at CSUSM will have to
b e discontinued until December 2007 when
the Center for Children and Families is
expected to open.
"These students would have to drop out
of school if i t wasn't for this place," said
Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference
to students who have children in the ELC.
Currently, 48 students have children
enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35
students utilize the center f ull time and 13
use it part time.
The ELC's curriculum provides an
instruction that enables children to build
self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of
cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting.
There are 6 schedules to choose from for
the f ull time program which consists of 8-9
hour days and 3 schedules to choose from
for the part time program which consists of
4 hour days.
Registration for children costs $23 for
students, and $30 for faculty and staff per
semester. In addition tuition costs at the
ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time
per day for students and $30 full-time and
$20.00 part-time per day for faculty and
staff.
In addition to providing childcare, the
ELC provides the campus with internships,
employment opportunities, as well as a
source for course projects and child observation.
In an attempt raise the f unds needed to
support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx.
csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21.
According to ELC projections 92 percent
of f unds next spring will come f rom child
registration and tuition fees, five percent
of f unds will come f rom fundraising and
grants, and three percent will c ome from
the childcare fee if it is approved. If the fee
is not approved the ELC will close.
If the Childcare Services Fee passes,

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the
bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services
BY CHEZ ARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under
consideration in the Senate.
The latest version of United States
Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal
National Service Act of 2003, calls for
a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women
between the ages of 18-26.
The bill in its most recent form offers
no deferment for college students and
makes it mandatory for wome
n to
sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently
under review in the Senate Committee
on Armed Services.
According to one provision in the bill,
"based upon the needs of the uniformed
services, the President shall determine
the number of persons" who shall b e
called to serve. People "who are not
selected for (the) military ... shall perform their national service obligation
under this Act in a civilian capacity"
S. 89 also gives the President power

What's behind the Alcohol
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
The New York Times is available to students at no charge for a four week trial
period beginning Oct 11.
There will be 500 New York Times
newspapers distributed around campus
Monday through Friday.
At the end of trial period, Associated
Students Inc. will decide whether or not
to continue the service, which will cost
$2,000 per month, or choose to have pay
racks, like the North County Times, and
have the students pay for each paper.
"I think this is an amazing opportunity.
We use the New York Times in so many of
our classes. Second, if students are passing

Voter Registration deadline is
approaching
BY LINDSAY RIEDEL
Pride Staff Writer
Time is running out for qualified people who have not yet registered to vote. Voter registration
forms must be postmarked by
October 18 in order to be eligible
to vote in the November 2 general
election.
In order to be eligible to register to vote in the State of California, you must be a U.S. Citizen,
a California resident, at least 18
years of age on or before the election, not be in prison or on parole
for a felony conviction, and not
be declared mentally incompetent by a court action.
There are three ways to register
to vote in thé state of California.
One way is to download a registration form from the I nter-
net, fill it out, and mail it in.
Downloadable registration forms
can be found on several websites including http://www.ss.ca.
gov/elections/voteregl.html and
www.rockthevote.org.
Another way to register to vote
is by obtaining, filling out and
mailing in a registration postcard.
Registration postcards are available at the DMV, the post office,
at public libraries as well as the
Kellogg Library on campus.
The third way to register is
to have a registration postcard
mailed to you, fill it out, and mail
it back.
Those wishing to have registration postcard mailed to their residence should contact the Registrar of Voters main office at (858)
565-5800 and request a registration postcard.

Voter registration forms are
available in English and in Spanish.
If you are already registered to
vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you
move, change your name, or wish
to change your party affiliation.
Some people don't register to
vote under the pretense that they
will not be called for j ury duty,
but this is not true. The list of
registered voters is shared with
the court system; however indi-
viduals are already in the pool of
people to be called for j ury duty
if they have a driver's license or
state-issued identification card.
On Election Day a picture ID is
required for first time voters who
registered by mail. If you plan to
vote through an absentee ballot,
the option is provided on voter
registration forms. The deadline
to apply for an absentee ballot is
October 2 6,2004.

As today's appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds draws closer, the
buzz around campus and the
community grows louder. Tickets
are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring.
By the time tickets became
available to the public on the
morning of October 7, there
were 2,500 tickets to sell out of
the total 10,000 tickets originally
available. Tickets sold out on
October 8.
Penelope Young Andrade, a
Rancho Penasquitos resident,
feels that the decision to postpone
ticket sales to the public was not
executed as well as it could have
been.

accidentally, I happened to go

community turnout, it would
have been better if it weren't

Many of the community members who came to buy tickets
were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales.
"It's originally supposed to be
for students, so it's understandable," said Heidi Pierce, a resident of Imperial Beach.
ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending
emails to CSUSM staff, posting
it on their website, and providing
a hotline for up-to-date information.
The CSUSM College Republicans, other local college republicans, as well as many students

to "select the individuals among
those persons who are to be
inducted for military service
under this Act," and, "prescribe
such regulations as are necessary
to carry out this Act."
In order for S. 89 to become
law, it would have to pass in the
Senate as well as the House of
Representatives.
The nearly identical house
version of the bill, HR 163, was
unexpectedly brought to a vote
on October 5.
Republican
Congressman
John M. McHugh of New York
motioned to bring the bill to a
vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar.
"Now some may say today that
this legislation is really about
the need to establish a system of
national service— And I would
say—that is a legitimate topic of
discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of
secret plans and post election
plots is focused on a return of the
draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the
house.
"The administration clearly, the
Department o f Defense clearly,
and I suspect that at the end of
this vote it will be shown the
House of Representatives clearly
rejects the fact, either before an
election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is
a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United
States military." said McHugh
prior to Tuesday's vote.
The vote was 402 - 2 against
the bill.
Democratic
Congressman
Charles Rangel of New York, the
original sponsor of HR 163, was
unhappy with the rush to vote.
"The Republican leadership
decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen-

dar (bring the bill to a vote early)
is a political maneuver to kill
rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the
November election." said Rangel
in a public statement released
after the vote.
Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of
California, stated the intent of the
legislation upon its introduction
to the House of Representatives.
"I ardently oppose war with
Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill
assures that any military service
would not include combat. Oth-
erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance
for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service
for their country, as did our President.
"
"Reinstituting the d raft may
seem unnecessary to some. But,
it will ensure all Americans share
in the cost and sacrifice of war.
Without a universal d raft, this
burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor,
the disadvantaged and minority
populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members
of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active
military service. Who are we to
know the pain of war when we
ourselves will not directly bear
the brunt of that action? It won't
be us mourning the loss of a child
or loved one. Maybe some of you
in this Congress would think
twice about voting for war in
Iraq if you knew your child may
be sent to fight in the streets of
Baghdad?" said Stark.
Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate
both presidential candidates have
made statements indicating there
will be no d raft.
"I hear there's rumors on the
Internets that we're going to have
a draft. We're not going to have
a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops
well. It works when we make sure
they've got housing, like we have
done in the last military budgets.
And all-volunteer Army is best

We don't need mass armies anymore," said President Bush during
the Friday October 8 debate.
"Forget all this talk about a

a d raft so long as I'm the president," added Bush.
"Let me tell you where the
president's policies have put us .

John Kerry during the debate.
"I don't support a d raft," stated
Kerry.

Know your alcohol
Requirement must be fulfilled this week
BY KIN SCHLATTER
Pride Staff Writer
All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past
summer will be required to take an alcohol
prevention program.
Students to which the requirement
applies must successfully pass the final
exam with a grade of 70 percent or better
no later than October 15, 2004. Students
that fail to complete the requirement will
have a hold placed on their registration for
spring 2005 classes.
In order to satisfy the alcohol education
requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which
is on-line education course designed for
college students.
There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu
course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the
course requires completion of a final exam
and post-survey.
The second part of the course requires
the completion of a "course conclusion"
which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the
first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December
7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education
requirement.
Informing
students
about
the
facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu.
AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the
Classroom, an online education company,
and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses.
The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance
Abuse Advisory Council.
The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff
and members of the local community who
work on alcohol prevention for the campus
and the city of San Marcos.
"The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to
our students and chose Alcohol EDU as
the tool for all of our incoming students to
use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of
Student and Residential Life and member
of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The course was designed to give students
information to assist them into making
wise decisions about alcohol use and let
students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption."
Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on
the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.
"The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program
is a broad-base population approach to
establishing and reinforcing a norm around
consumption," said Poullard.
Students that have any questions about
meeting the requirement can call Deb
Fritsrold at Students and Residential
Life @ (760)-750-4952. More information about the requirement can be found

Open forum for 'Fahrenheit 9/11
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
With the heightened interest
of the scheduled appearance of
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
fairgrounds, and the upcoming
election, a screening of the controversial documentary "Farenhenheit 9/11" was presented in
the A rts 240 building on October
5.
Among the audience, was a
panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood,
CSUSM professor of political
science, Beth Accomando, KPBS
film critic, and Daniel McSwain,
editorial page editor of the North
County Times.
The screening began at 6p.m.
and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel
of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as
laughter occasionally swept the
room.
Admission prices were $2.50
for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and
$4 for other guests.
A fter the screening, audience
members exchanged opinions
and views with each other and
with the panel of speakers. The

�Oktoberfest lives on
BY PETER SCHWARTZ
Pride Staff Writer
Oktoberfest arrived at CSUSM
as entertainers Bill and Erma
Fassel performed with their
Group D'Zwon Bergtaler.
"The event was
successful and fed
CSUSM students
at the rate of 200
bratwurst hot dog
plates per hour"
The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas,
waltzes, ballads and dancing
called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in
circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of
their shoes.
"My family has always loved
the Schuplatter tradition," said
Erma Fassel, "which originated
when the Germari village folk
observed bird mating dances
while playing classical music"
"The Oktoberfest tradition
started in the middle ages when
King Ludwig 1 married Theresa
of Saxon and threw a huge party
for the event," said Bill Fassel,
who is three-fourths Austrian
and one-fourth Bavarian. It went
so well that he decided to do it
again next year.
The tradition has lived on as
a lavish party and celebrates the
fall harvest in the Bundesland.
In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places
but mainly in the big city of
Munich located in the southern
province of Bavaria.
The cultural event happens
when the people set up nine huge
tents, holding about 10,000 people
each and having an authentic
twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and
visitors from around the world.
A variety of different beers are
served and traditional attire is
worn to signify the history of the
region.
CSUSM's Oktoberfest was
an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director
Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine.
of ASI cultural events, and Jen
Kitter, director of annual events.
"The event was successful and
fed CSUSM students at the rate
of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates
per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks,
sauerkraut and fried onions were
also served.
"If you missed the event, ASI
has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait
until next year," said Schroder.
Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI.

Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und
BY ALLISON SANSBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Lunafest is a traveling film
festival that features movies and
short films created by, for and
about women. Cal State San
Marcos got two chances to catch
the Lunafest this year, once on
October 8 and October 9.
Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is
presently an active sponsor of the
Breast Cancer Awareness Fund.
Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a
more appropriate time to have the
festival.
The makers of the Luna-bar,
Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of
Clif Bar Inc.
The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good
Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black
Boot", "Wet Dreams and False
Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La
Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted".
The Breast Cancer Awareness
Fund is a nonprofit organization
focused on identifying the
causes of breast cancer
and preventing the disease. Cures for breast
cancer can vary but the
extreme involves removing the breast.
Portions of the profits from
ticket sales go to the Breast
Cancer Fund. The first ever
Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001.
Although, last year $21,500 was
raised.
The next stop for the Lunafest
is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip
across the U.S.
Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to
Boston and
even Canada.
The Lunabar also
sponsors
other
groups
such as the
Luna Chix,
the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar.

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
"Friday NightLights"
starring Billy Bob
Thornton was released
last week and j ust like
every other sports
movie that comes out, I
j ust had to see it.
There have been quite
I a few sports movies that
have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game"
with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with
Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those
guys but they don't belong on the field
trying to imitate athletes.
Actors trying to play coaches hasn't
exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask
A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which
was not one of his greatest performances.
So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was
going to play the part of head coach Gary
Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have
the best feeling.
However, Billy Bob did not disappoint
in this role. He played the role of the head
coach of the Permian High Panthers in the
small town of Odessa, Texas.
Permian high was profiled in an issue
of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the
story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in
the Texas state football championship.
In small towns of Texas, high school
football is everything to the people. The
entire town shuts down on Friday nights
so that everyone can catch the game.
With so much focus on the sport, the
student athletes and coaches feel the pres-
DEGREE
sure to perform.
The star running back for the Panthers
was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke)
who had his ticket written to pretty much
any college until he got hurt the first game
of the season with a knee injury. Boobie
felt so much pressure that he tried to come
back too early and he f urther injured his
knee.
Many kids who play football feel extra
pressure because their dads were great
football players and such was the case of
Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by
Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by
country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his
father for not living up to what his father
accomplished when he played football.
For some kids in these small towns their
only ticket out is through football and
such was the case for quarterback Mike
Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter
the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced
to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of
him at the beginning of the season.
The story of Coach Gaines is then
intertwined with those young kids showing that the athletes aren't the only ones
who have to overcome a lot of pressure
and expectations.
This story is a story that the non sports
fan will even enjoy as it is more a story
about people and their shortcomings that
they can overcome with perseverance.
If you have any praise, criticism or
topics for discussion then send me an Email to Sando026@csusm.edu

�Is Mother Nature a Democrat or Republican?
FROM THE RIGHT
Mother Nature
loves you. If you
think about it,
she's pretty damn
tolerant.
People
litter the world
with their trash
and pollute the air
Polly
Charoenkwanchai around them, yet
she is constantly
attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We
assume that she can do this fast enough
to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily
threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life
of a student, there is little or no time to
think about the environment.
Most of us are hypocrites. We say we
care about the nature of the world while
almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22!
I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska,
but I love my little Honda Civic which
consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down
beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing
their habitat, but that doesn't make me
want to walk to work.
So what is the solution?
Should we forgo cars and live off the
land? I believe that there are little things
people can do to help Mother Nature
help us:
Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually
everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt
to walk the extra eight steps to dispose
your garbage.
Carpool. It saves money, it helps the
environment and you have your own
specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your
destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike
if you live in San Marcos and work in
Poway, but you can certainly bike to the
market down the block. Once again, it
saves money, it helps the environment
and provides great exercise.
You know those trashcans that are
specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are
cans that help people recycle. They're
all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to
figure out where you should dump your
soda can. Recycling allows less trash to
be sent to the landfills, thereby saving
natural resources such as trees, oil and
aluminum.
The Bush administration passed a
Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts
air pollution by installing new pollution,
control that will regulate major factory
upgrades. This act would work if they did
not also propose a revision to the rules
called the New Source Review, which
would make it simple for these plants to
find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies.
This administration has also proposed
to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national
forest, thereby allowing logging on more
open land. The Bush administration has
consistently proposed laws that hurt the
environment.
Although
Kerry has had
his share of
blemishes (he
voted against
the
maintenance of forest
road
service
and
wildlife
habitat
programs),
but
he is endorsed
by the Sierra
Club, a national
e nvironmental organization. Kerry has
voted to protect California
deserts. He has
proposed
to
end commercial whaling and illegal trading
on whale meat. Kerry has voted
repeatedly to block oil drilling
in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge).
Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we
do something to help the precious and fragile condition of
the earth. Whether your course
of action leads you to the voting
booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities
towards Mother Nature before
it's too late.
Some days at
CSUSM I feel like
the lone buoy of
moderate conservatism floating in
a sea of radical liberals:
professors
preach the futility
Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq —
and regime change
in November ~ f rom their classroom
pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal
group on campus and Kerry buttons on
back packs appear to outnumber Bush
buttons at least a thousand to one.
But I never feel
alone when it comes to
environmental issues.
I, too, have a fondness
for clean air and water
and space for wildlife. I recycle what I
can on campus, and
curbside at my house
(paper, plastic, glass,
aluminum, and clean
greens). I quit commuting to reduce my
car's emissions (and
my stress level). I ride
my scooter to work
when the weather's
Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride
nice to save energy. And I'm religious
about turning off lights and keeping my
water use to a minimum.
It warms the cockles of my heart to
see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool
spaces in our parking lots, but I've also
seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage,
garbage left for someone else to pick up,
and students being dropped off in front
of Craven by family or friends rather
than being inconvenienced by public
transportation.
One of my biggest on-campus pet
peeves is those among us who use the
electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's
probably not a huge amount of wasted
electricity, and I have no argument if
your hands are f ull or you really do have
trouble opening a door for yourself, but
I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear
to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience.
How each of us chooses to treat the
environment is something that can't be
legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the
state can mandate that the school recycles
a certain volume of refuse, but unless
you choose to put your recyclables into
the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream.
You're also the only one who can
choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste
~ take care of your clothes so they last
longer, and bring a reusable mug with
you to pour your organically grown
coffee in. The government can legislate
lower emissions for cars, but you're the
one who controls what manufacturers
offer based on what cars you buy. And
legislation is useless when it comes to
whether or not you choose to alter your
lifestyle in order to reduce the number of
miles you drive each year, or whether or
not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest
in companies that treat the environment
(and their workers) well.
Who would you rather have r unning a
major corporation: a person whose only
motivation for corporate responsibility
is legislated, or a person who believes in
the principal of personal responsibility
and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business?

�Dear Editor,
I'm sure you all know but
in case you don't October
18th-21st are the dates for
the voting for the Childcare
Services Fee Referendum
to keep the Early Learning
Center open. The Early
Learning Center is CSUSM's
answer for childcare for
student parents.
I know there are many of
you out there who would like
to vote no because you don't
want to pay for something
you are not going to use. I
understand that, however
many of us pay for fees here
we don't use, books we don't
read, a parking structure
we will never see. This ten
dollars is at least going to
a humanitarian cause: the
education of children.
The Early Learning Center
enables many parents the
ability to continue their
education to provide a
better life for their children,
provides childcare to CSUSM
faculty & the community, as
well as provides internships,
employment opportunities
and more. It is a wonderful
program. As you could guess,
I am a student parent; my
daughter Madison age three
has attended the "school" as
she calls it, for a little over a
year and she loves it. In that
time, she has become potty
trained, learned toridea
tricycle, can count to twenty,
is recognizing numbers, is
learning to write her name,
and is learning valuable social
skills. She would have met
these milestones eventually
but I know that they have
been met sooner and with
more understanding with
the love and support of the
ELC staff behind her. I really
hope students realize that this
is not about ten more little
dollars (it's only two or three
Starbucks©), but it's about
the big picture and as cheesy
as it sounds, children are our
future.
The children who attend
the center might be only
between the ages of 2 and
5 but they still care about
their school. If the vote
doesn't pass the ELC will
be forced to close its doors.
How awful would that be for
this to be these children's
first educational experience;
a school they have been so
comfortable in and have
grown to love being closed
because CSUSM couldn't
fit it in their budget. Please
do therightthing for these
children, please protect their
school, please protect their
teacher's jobs, please vote yes
and encourage others to do so.

Dear pride/editor:
For the last weeks it seems
that all you write about is
Michael Moore.When the
controversy began there were
even four more pages of the
edition. I want to know who
makes the decision on what
to write. AtfirstI thought that
the writters only wrote about
events that gave out free food.
There was a report about the
president's pick-nick and
the recycling thing, both
events gave out free food.
But between those two events
there was another event that
gave free food but there was
nothing written about it.
Maybe it was because it was
a celebration of the Mexican
independence day. Or maybe
it was because MEChA was
an organizer of that event. I
do not know the answer but I
thought that a cultural event
that included dance and poetry
would be something to be
reported about, but it was not
the case. This week we have
some more Michael Moore
news, and I bet that next week
there will be some more.
There was another event that
I think was important but
the Pride did not take into
consideration writting about
it. This event was announced
the universtity's home page.
I'm referring to Preview Day
which was held last Saturday
here on campus. It is the first
year that this event takes place
here and it was organized
by the University Outreach
and Recruitment. There were
many people that worked hard
to put this event together and
again the Pride didn't write
about it. Thank you for your
time.

for Cake:
Pressure Chief
BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA
Pride Staff Writer

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Pride Staff Writer
Any man daring enough to
wear pink is alright in my book.
So imagine my intrigue when
picking up Cake's latest album
Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were
covered in vintage-inspired pink
decals.
Pressure Chief is by far Cake's
most eclectic album yet. The
band stretches the genre of ska to
its fullest extent by including so
many things not typically heard
in the alternative rock category.
There are trumpets galore,
mostly present in the first song
"Wheels" but they're used
throughout the entire album. The
banjo is prominent in "End of the
Movie" to convey the mood of an
old picture.
Overall, this album is so
diverse that you really need to
listen to every song to get the feel
of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic
than the last and everything just
works well together.
"No Phone" is the second track
and is headlining the record. It's
very much electronica-inspired
and has the catchiest tune out of
a Cinderella story with a modern
twist, Prince Charming was a

Police officer Washburn (Jimmy Fallon) flags down a taxi.
'Fare'ly awful
BY RYAN JAMES
Pride Staff Writer
Saturday Night Live is a hit,
but we can't say the same thing
for Jimmy Fallon's acting career.
The lead role of police officer
Washburn is played by Fallon.
Washburn is striving to please
his police officer father by being
a prestigious upholder of the law.
In his attempts to obtain this
dream, Washburn encounters
many obstacles, the number one
obstacle being his phobia of driving.
"Taxi" opens with Washburn
in undercover attire blowing
a case and then proceeding to
wreck a squad car, an aspect he is
known for among his force. He
then becomes the laughing stock
of the NYPD due to a newspaper
cover story of his idiocy.
Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant
Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes
his driver license and sends him
walking. While walking home a
bank robbery in progress is called
into Washburn's radio. Quick to
redeem himself Washburn flags
down a taxi, but not just any taxi,
the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on
an ongoing pursuit of a gang of
four beautiful Brazilian models,
I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret
model Gisele Bundchen.
When we as viewers go to
see movies like "Taxi" we don't
expect to see the greatest movie
ever, but we do expect to get
some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment.
While I did have the occasional
laugh, it was short, and usually
inspired by Belle, not our leading
man Washburn. Queen Latifah's
role of Belle and even the role
of Washburns drunkard mother
(Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie
lacks the one- liners that make
comedies successful. While a
fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to
cross over his comedic act on to
the big screen. I do not recommend this movie.

Well you will not need to look serves great Italian food at fair
prices as well.
The Italian translation of
"grappa" literally stands for
grape pomace acquavite: "water
of life". Grappa was first produced in Italy around 1000 A.D.
It used to be considered a poor
man's drink. However, during
the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology
and v ast improvements in wine
production all contributed to the
reincarnation of grappa which is
now known to be an elegant Italian brandy. Grappa, the restaurant, serves grappa f rom $7- $18

and 20 percent off all pastas on
Wednesdays. You can also find
coupons for Grappa inside Clipper magazine. Grappa contains
a f ull bar and happy hour is held
from 4-7p.m. daily. Grappa also
provides f ree Internet service
while you dine. All you have to
do is bring in your laptop and
they'll provide you with WiFi.
Grappa has a great environment for all to enjoy a nice f ulfilling and refreshing meal either
inside or outside on the patio. The
servers provide excellent service
to ensure that you are more than
satisfied with your meal.
"Grappa has a great atmosphere," said server Danielle
Trombi, "and I truly enjoy serving all the different people who
come in."
Their extensive menu consists
of golden fried zucchini served
with marinara sauce, antipasto
and a wonderful platter of golden
fried calamari, shrimp, zucchini
and parmesan french f ries. They
also serve salads, soups, sandwiches/panini, pastas, rotisserie
and a variety of meals off the
grill.
O h... and who could forget
their oakwood fired pizzas and
homemade desserts...both are so
very hard to pass up.
Internet access, fair prices,
great food, great service, great
environment, great specials......
what more could you want?
