Spring Fling halted early
Night under the stars takes terrible turn
ASI Elections

Pride Staff Writer
Sat. March 15—Spring Fling,
the Associated Student Incorporated sponsored event, was cut
short after a guest in attendance
jumped overboard. The dance,
held on the San Diego Harbor
Excursions "Spirit Of San Diego"
yacht, began late due to a lack of
cooperation from many guests in
attendance. As the entrance room
to board the boat crowded, secu?
rity asked guests to separate in two
lines: under 21 and over 21. Guests
became restless the longer they had
to wait.
Visibly intoxicated students
boarded the yacht, while one guest
even vomited on several students.
Once students settled on the yacht,
they visited the casino tables or
the dance floor. However, roughly
forty-five minutes after the yacht
departed, casino dealers closed
their tables and security informed
students the dance was over. None
of the intended raffle prizes were
distributed.'The yacht docked at
least an hour and a half earlier,
even though the original end-time
for the event was 12 a.m.

As Americans contemplate
who will be the next leader of
our nations, CSUSM students
also must pick the new leader of
the campus in the ASI elections.
According to Student Life and
Leadership, the department that
facilitates the elections, students
will again *be able to vote online.
Students can cast electronic ballots on the election days, March
24-27.
This year, all positions of
the ASI Board are open. These
include ASI President and CEO,
Vice President of Operations,
Vice President of Marketing,
Vice President of Finance, Student at Large Representative, and
Representatives from the College
of A rts and Science, College of
Business and Administration,
and College of Education.

major Kristina Lawler. "I could
not believe they allowed people
under 21 that were visibly drunk—
couldn't even walk-^-on the boat. I
even saw two people having sex in
the middle of the poker room, next
to. the dealer. The security guards
came and I heard them say, 'This
tìiing is over. Everybody needs to
start moving to the front. Somebody just jumped off and we're
going back to shore."'

Pizza and Politics Food for thought: Healthcare
Strieker provides related
articles for students to read
beforehand to stimulate discussion during the event. The first
article, "Arguments Mount for
a National Healthcare System"
by David R. Francis, discusses
the health care system and the
promises made by presidential
hopefuls. The second article,
"Coming Soon: Healthcare
Debate, Fart 2" by Kevin Sack,
discusses McCain's aim for tax
credits for private insurance
policies, Clinton's aim for universal healthcare, and Obama's
aim for health insurance for
children.
"I expected most of the students to be interested in politics but to be relatively naive on
the current healthcare issues
facing the U.S," said Professor

Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos Sociology professor Dr. Marisol ClarkIbanez knows a special second
grader, and it breaks her heart.
This student, she said, studies hard, is smart and will often
challenge herself to study harder
~ the prototype student that often
excels in her educational career.
The circumstances, however, are
against her.
This second grader is among
the millions across the country
who are illegally brought to the
United States by their parents—
often becoming Americanized—
only to grow up t o fund their
opportunities are cut shod upon
high school graduation.
CSUSM migrant advocate
group Esiritu de Nuestro Futuro
(Spirit of our Future) held a
forum March 13 to bring awareness to SB 160 or the Development, Relief and Education for
Alien Minors (DREAM) Act,
a legislature that would grant
undocumented students who
continue on to college the opportunity to apply for legal U.S. residence. The legislation has been
reintroduced into the ^ Senate

Getting involved isn't the easiest thing to do. It is definitely not
the easiest thing to get people
to do. As diverse as the college
camgus may be, we all speak the
same language when it comes to
our money.
Like it or not, with current proposals in place, each and every
member of the campus community will see how these budget cuts
personally affect them. Increased
prices of parking permits will
soon be the least of our worries.
While the increased permit
fees will go to use—in theory, the
increase in tuition fees only serve
to alleviate the cuts to the CSU
system. According to Budget
Options for student to get involved
Central, CSUSM gets 85% of its
revenue from State of California
appropriation and State University fees. That same source mentions that the University Budget
Committee (UBC) is in charge of
deciding how CSUSM will allocate reductions.
Each of the five campus divisions (President's Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs,
University Advancement, and
Finance and Administrative Services) have been asked to take an
8.15% reduction from their fiscal
year 2007-08 permanent revenue.
As luck would have it, the state
finalizes the proposed cuts during
summer break. Although the Governor has to touch up his proposal
in May and the finance committees have until June 1 to finalize
a bill, similar situations rarely
render results by the appointed
deadline.
If that is the case, we may not
know for certain what the final
budget is until early fall. The issue
is not what is going on but whether
anything can be done to change it.
The overwhelming majority on
campus agrees that this situation
is awful.
What does this all mean?
What can I do about it?
Where can I find out more?
Visit www.allianceforthecsu.
org and www.csusm.edu/plan/
budgetcentral for anything and
everything you need to know.
Candidates of the presidential
primaries have sold promises of
change as a theme for the campaign trail. If change is, in fact,
the answer—it has to begin at
the grassroots. CSU may be the
solution but students are the driving force of that solution. Instead
of putting the issue on the back
burner until fall (when it will be
too late to contest it), students
need to infiltrate in full force—
volunteering, making phone calls,
sending letters.

Blood, Sweat, Tears, Animal Crackers
BY TORIA SAVEY
Pride Staff Writer
Dear
Animal
Cracker People,
I've finally reached
my limit. I can take
no more. Your incompetence has haunted
me since I was a small
child, and today, we
settle this once and
for all.
There was no higher
treat as a tiny person than your own box of
delicious and educational animal crackers.
It was like an edible National Geographic
special. They also contained significantly
less false advertising than those frosted
circus animals (At the age of 5, I went to
the circus expecting to see pink-spotted
deliciousness and instead got a bunch of
depressed elephants.)
After years of eating your product though,
I can no longer eat or sleep until I bring a
problem to your attention. With every box
I open, I should be able to start an entire
zoo on my tabletop. Yet, as with a classic
example from a box consumed on March
17,2008,1 got five sheep and only half of a
hippo's hind end.
To be perfectly honest, cracker people, I
am no shepherd. Nor would I take anyone to
a zoo that had five sheep, a couple camels,
a hippo's bum, and only the trunk of an elephant. I have a walrus without a head. What
do you expect me to do? Call Ripley's Believe
It or Not? Open a sideshow? SETTLE FOR
LESS THAN I DESERVE?!?
In addition, I've had an extremely tough
week. I understand that divine healing,
funeral arrangements and hair straightening
probably don't fall under your company's
jurisdiction, but I really don't know how
I'm expected to accomplish or support any of
those things when all I
have is one left side of a
rhinoceros.
Perhaps it isn't your
fault as employees of the
Cracker Zoological Foundation. Perhaps these are all accidents
that happen during shipping. But I
beg you, please consider taking a more
proactive approach. If these "accidents"
all happen during transit, then there is veritable massacre taking place between your
holding pens and the supermarkets of this
country. As responsible entrepreneurs, I
would advise you to consider other methods for moving your animals. Perhaps if
you put them in breathable crates, with each
animal surrounded by its own silk pillows, I
wouldn't have just the tail and a single rear
leg of a donkey.

Andreen
you re not
i nt e n tionally trying
to upset me, and I'm aware that no problem can be resolved until it is brought to
a company's attention. But now that you
know, please, I beg of you, take the necessary steps so that I, and the good people of
this nation, never have to settle for headless
lions again.
Love and kisses,

work to create a more informed
and motivated electorate across
the count."
The next and final Pizza and
Politics for this semester takes
place on April 22, Earth Day, in
Markstein Hall 102 during University Hour. Professor Bray will
lead a discussion on the environment. A trend shows increasing
attendance. Therefore, attendees
should arrive as early as possible.
"Maybe I would like to see
Pizza and Politics as a permanent function. I think it would be
interesting and effective with a
few revisions," said Sophomore
Social Science Major Gabriella
Pruitt.
Future topics for next semester
include poverty and the economy,
immigration, and the 2008 Presidential Election. ADP also plans
to co-sponsor mock debates for
students.
"If you have a chance, you really
should make it to one of these
meetings. They are very informational, and it is not useless information. It is stuff about our lives.
So at least attending one would be
beneficial to each of us, I think,"
said Senior Literature and Writing
Major Adam Lowe.
Disappointed guests departed
for their cars while many others
waited for the Party Bus to
return.

"But it was amusing to watch."
Attempts to identify the

jumped overboard have not yet
been confirmed. Investigations
are still ongoing regarding the
other students under 21 present
at the event.

�An interview with Literature and Writing's Sandra Doller
BY ELBERT ESGUERRA
Pride Staff Writer
People o ften misconceive that poets start out as
g ifted writers. This isn't the case with Sandra Doller,
who last month read at the San Diego Museum of Art.
As an accomplished author and poet, she is an assistant
professor at CSUSM. In April, Professor Doller is reading at Chapman University and hosts a monthly reading
series in San Diego. She is the editor of 1913 press and
she sits down in an interview to discuss performing,
writing, and the next president of the United States.
The Pride: So, the first thing I want to ask is what are
you currently reading?
Sandra Doller: Mostly I an} spending my time reading student writing from my Advanced Creative Writing graduate class. Last week, we read Joe Wenderoth's
Letters to Wendy's, which are actually letters to the fast
food chain in the form of prose poems but actually build
up to kind of a novel.
Pride: How did you come to work on poetry?
Doller: I didn't do creative writing as an undergrad.
I was in theater and did performance art and playwriting which has connections to poetry and I see that now.
I did cinema studies for my MFA at the University of
Chicago, and t hat's when I really became interested in
connections to early 20th century poetry and other art
forms like painting and cinema.
Pride: That's how art just seems to work out, isn't
it?
Doller: I think so. I was writing these performance
pieces as an undergrad and I was j ust doing it on the side
before I even took a creative writing class. I thought
I was writing stories, but then someone told me they
were prose poems.
Pride: Do you have.a favorite poet right now?
Doller: Fanny Howe. Anytime I can see Fanny read,
I will go. I also enjoy Danzy Senna, who is also a really
Tuesday 3/18
-af^e^lmance
wonder novelist.
Pride: What can you tell people about 19131 *
Doller: I founded 1913 while I was a grad student
doing my MFA at University of Iowa writers' workshop. I got into my head and thought, hey, wouldn't it
be great t o have a journal that publishes contemporary
poetry, fiction and non-fiction essays * and visual art.
Pride: (flipping through the book) There's a lot of
"visual poem" type of art.
Doller: Exactly, and that's something that I'm really
interested in. I applied for a grant in Iowa and that's
how I was able to do this. And since then, it has been
a labor of love that can be a great resource for students and something that I'm interested in sharing with
CSUSM students and bring them to get involved with
the editing and layout and all the things that go into
making a magazine.
Pride: Do students have the opportunity to work
with you and 1913 at this time?
Doller: Absolutely. I have a list and I'm constantly
collecting names of students who are interested in participating. A couple of students, who I 'll call volunteer interns, went with me to, San Diego City College
in October for a book fair there and we had a table and
sold a few copies. The point is to get literature and art
out into the world and I'm definitely interested in getting
students on that.
Pride: Now, you already have one book out, Oriflamme. I hear you've also got one on the way?
Doller: I do, and it's called Chora. It'p a book of
poems mostly and nonfiction prose poems and things
that cross genres. That should be coming out soon.
Pride: Last month, you read at San Diego Museum
of Art. Tell me, what it was like reading not only in
front of other artists, but also a number of your students
as well?
Doller: (laughing) I liked that part of it actually
and felt more comfortable
because I see the students more often that
I see anybody else! I
was really glad that
Cal State students
got to see the event
and got to see Fanny
read as well. I
thought I'd be more
nervous having students there, but
it felt really
friendly. *

art talk, I have to ask: who's going to win the presidential nomination?
Doller: Pm allowed t o say, right?
Pride: You can give your opinion.
Doller: I'm pro-Obama, which does not mean that
I'm anti-Hilary and I'm definitely a feminist. However,
I feel Obama has the best chance at winning the presidency and I feel really excited by his message.
P ride: , What other events do you have coming up
soon in the near future?
Doller: I just recently started a contemporary reading series in S&n Diego co-sponsored by three small
presses - 1913 Press, my husband Ben and Iowa-based
Kuhl House Press, and James Meetze and Tougher Disguises Press in San Diego. The three of us are curating a contemporary reading series and j ust had the first
event in North Park at the Agitprop Gallery two weeks
ago and we'll be having events on the first Saturday of
every month. It was really exciting to bring different
writers into town and it was really f un.

�Extended Learning at CSUSM The Compact:
How t o stretch your education even further
BY ARIANNE SCHULZ
Pride Staff Writer
Here at CSUSM, there are many unique programs to
suit students' academic or professional needs. Of special
note is CSUSM Extended Learning program, which is
not exclusive to students, but is open to the community
as well. Extended Learning features many educational
courses that can tailor to one's academic, professional, or
personal interests. Extending Learning [formerly known
as Extended Studies] is in fact part of the university. The
Extended Learning program contributes greatly to both
the university and the community by providing leadership programs, online courses, continuing education
studies, and ",workshops."
In partietffar, two of the leadership programs that
Extended Learning offers are Leadership North County
and, most recently. Leadership Quest. Leadership North
County prepares developing leaders to be strong, visionary, and familiar with issues impacting communities in
San Diego's North County. Leadership North County
begins every year in September and carries through June.
Leadership Quest is the new addition to Extended Learning's services and begins its first term on March 25,2008.
Leadership Quest is designed to help aspiring leaders to
discover their personal leadetship style, develop skills that
are inherent in strong community leaders, and create a
strong foundation for future leadership paths. Leadership
Quest differentiates itself from Leadership North County
by that it is aimed for the young, "budding" professional
leader to find and develop a leadership style. Leadership
North County appeals to those who might have more
experience with leadership and exposes them to significant issues in North County. Both of these programs are
valuable assets to students and community members who
want to learn and grew to be more effective leaders.
Another part of Extending Learning is the eLearning
Center, which offers a comprehensive selection of credit,
noncredit, and certificates that are available online. The
eLearning Center's selection of classes is quite large—
there are over 5,000 classes to choose from with prices
varying course by course. These online courses encom-
pass many areas including business, education, finance,
healthcare, insurance, languages, personal enrichment,
service and hospitality, and technology. After completion of the course, one receives proof of completion
with a certificate of completion. Depending on the student's needs, one can choose courses that offer credit,
noncredit, or a certificate. Additionally, the continuing
education option is a useful feature of the eLearning
Center. It is very common arid mandatory for professionals to continue and update their education within
their career field. The eLearning Center is a great
resource to fulfill those requirements and provides
of variety of courses that apply to many careers. The
Online Certificate Program is available year-round.
Open University is another program from Extended
Learning open to the community, but some restrictions can apply to currently admitted CSUSM students.
Through Open University, one can access main-campus classes that count toward "resident" credit. Open
University provides the means to take CSUSM credit
courses without being admitted to the university and
the courses taken can be applied toward degree credit.
This is a helpful program, especially if one missed the
main-campus university application deadline.
As well as the other programs mentioned, Extended
Learning offers developmental teaching workshops
that can be completed online or on campus, depending
on the course. Extended Learning's Teacher Education
programs are designed to create distinct professional
developmental opportunities for educators in North
San Diego region.
CSUSM's Extended Learning is an extensive institution offering many academic and professional resources
for students and the community. Extended Learning
serves nearly 7,000 individuals a year and is becoming
well known for the programs it offers. For more information about Extending Learning, Leadership North
County, Leader Quest, and the eLearning Center, please

M&M brand capitalizes on seductive myth

Pledging to help the
earth and the economy
BY TOM COCKING
Pride Staff Writer
In the U.S. and in many areas of the world consumerism
has become one of the main topics discussed. As people
become more environmentally aware they also become
aware of solutions to growing environmental problems
such as waste and pollution. Many of which can be linked
to consumerism. But what may be "desirable" economically may not be "desirable" environmentally.
In a study held by the U.N., known as the Human Development Report, it was said that "Today's consumption is
undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change — not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not
shifting from polluting to cleaner
and production technolgies, not promoting goods
that empower poor producers, not shifting priority from consumption for conspicuous
display to meeting basic
needs — today's problems of consumption and
human development will
worsen." The study also
reveals that the U.S. and
Illustration by Nick Strizver
Europe alone spend billions
of dollars on products, many of which we do not need.
According to the study, U.S. Citizens have spent nearly
eight billion dollars on cosmetics alone and Europe has
spent nearly 11 billion dollars on Ice Cream.
Anup Shah, a writer for globalissues.org, said, "Because
consumption is so .central to many economies, and even
to the current forms of globalization, its effects therefore
are also seen around the world. How we consume, and for
what purposes drives how we extract resources, create
products and produce pollution and waste. Issues relating
to consumption hence also affect environmental degradation, poverty, hunger, and even the rise in obesity that
is nearing levels similar to the "official" global poverty
levels."
One solution for the growing amount of consumption
is known as "The Compact." "The Compact" is a growing movement. Those involved pledge to not buy anything new for a year. This means no new clothes, new
cars, new anything. Only the bare essentials like food and
water can be "new." People who take the pledge try to
find used products either online or in local t hrift shops.
Kara McGuire, a reporter for The Star Tribune said, "The
Compact, started by a group of San Francisco friends as a
rebellion against what they see as gluttonous consumerism and its thoughtless destruction of the environment,
turn the notion of consumerism
on its head." So what exactly
is involved in becoming part of The Compact?
Those who wish to be part
of The Compact don't have
to sign any papers or join
any online group, although
one could if one wanted to, but
all a member would have to do
is pledge to themselves that they
will not buy anything* new for
a year and resist the lure of consumerism. Members must not
buy anything new other than the
exceptions of medicine, underwear, cleaning products, and no
limits on food. One of the founders John P e r t y
said, "We never meant to start a movement."
From just a few friends discussing a better way to live
came a movement that now involves more than 8,700
members of online user groups today, according to Star
Tribune and TreeHugger.com. There are 50 user groups
on yahoo from Thailand to Australia and other sites such
as feedthepig.org that also help people budget better
and learn how to better spend money in areas where it
is needed. Sites like TreeHugger.com have many suggestions as to how to be more environmentally aware as well
as how one can help the environment personally.
"What is it about the Green ones?"
Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, there
is still the opportunity to feel as though you're sitting
on cloud nine.. .allegedly. According to varying
rumors spread through word of mouth as
well as the Internet, it is believed
that green M&M's will increase
sexual drive. Mars Company
owner of the M&M's brand,
has gladly capitalized on the
allegation. Although there
is question as to where the
rumor came about, there
is no question about a

popularity for -the new
romantic color has increased. But
what makes the green M&M's the

this reporter just finished eating:
"What is it about the green ones?"
One would think that red would
be more likely color to represent
romance as opposed to an earthy
color like green. With an important
notice on the back of every package of green M&M's,
Mars Co. has warned that "consumption of The Green

in elevated Romance

Along
with
the
"warning," the green
M&M's sexualized
message is backed by
the only female M&M

the green color is said to
make one feel like they're
in lqve, in actuality, all the
colors have the properties to

^ the chocolate. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, which is known to increase
sexual desire. The word "aphrodisiac"
is derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite (goddess of love and lust). But even
though every color of these delicious candies
has the properties to help increase that libido,
the point is that myths like these are f un and
refreshing. It may not necessarily be true that
the "green ones" increase sexjual desire, but then
again, there is no one out there saying that they
do not. Whether or not people believe this myth to
be true, it definitely doesn't hurt to experiment and
find out, especially if the experiment involves delicious hard-shelled candy and the potential of fantastic
feelings. Green, red, or blue M&M's—^whatever the
color of choice—they definitely put a new spin on the
phrase "melts in your mouth, not in your hand."

�Pencils Down, Runners Up
Baseball: Cougars go 2-2 on the week
A preview of the Diploma Dash
BY B ILLRHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
This year, for the first time, the
CSUSM Athletic department will host
a 5k race to benefit student athletes. On
May 3 at 5pm, runners will make their
way around the school campus in celebration of the end of the school year in
the Diploma Dash.
Students and runners can register
online at the Athletic department's website. Early registration is $25, while it is
$35 the day of the race.
According to the Athletic department,
all proceeds will go toward student-athlete scholarships. Rather than an early
morning race, the department set the
race time for 5 p.m. to avoid the heat and
accommodate student's study time.
This historic event in the school history will also include shirts commemorating the first annual race, awards per
age group, and post race festivities to
meet student-athletes and coaches. After
a year of class work, the Athletic department says this is way to celebrate the end
of the school year and the graduates.

follow a strict set of rules that
ensure the film is realistic by
restricting the resources the
director has.
Susanne Bier, the unaccredited director, slightly broke the
rule concerning the prohibiting
of spectacular events when she
put a car accident in this movie.
However, this incident is crucial
to the film and is the moment
that shakes the viewer.
Lead character, Joachim, j ust
proposed to his girlfriend and is
prepared for an exciting vacation with his friends when a car
strikes him. Though the audience
sees it coming,
a wonderful movie, but the car
crash that links the events is
spectacularly raw.
It opens following Gael Garcia
Bernal's character as he is trying
to get his dog to the hospital. For
the sake of not spoiling the film,
I will not reveal more. However,
the coming crash jolts viewers.
It comes come out of nowhere
and can cause those watching
to shout "Oi! " because it is so
vicious. It is p ainful to watch,
but it is not predictable and happens so realistically that the
movie forcefully draws in viewers. This is a perfect example of
what a car crash should be like.

skills when
it comes to

a car crash.

do filmmakers use this
device in an a rtful way. In current US films, crashes involve
expensive vehicles slamming
into each other in ways that
create a disproportionate amount
of flames and explosives, such as
in " XXX" and "The Fast and the
Furious."
There was once a time in Hollywood where the vehicle meant
something. Films such as "Bullitt" and "The French Connection" respected cars and created
exciting chases. Nowadays, cars
simply slam into each other and
blow up or have giant robots
run right through them. Even a
movie titled "Crash" did not have
exciting car accidents. Based on
a number of movies and their
accidents, foreign filmmakers
are superior in this skill.
The first example comes
from the year 2000 in Alejandro González Iñárritu's film
"Amores Perros." The story is
broken into three arcs all surrounding a horrific car accident.

To preserve the context of both
accidents, I will not reveal the
details. However, both of these
films deserve accommodation
for their brutal car incidents.
In both German films, characters unexpectedly meet their
fate with the front of a speeding vehicle. Though the characters experience inexplicable
pain, Tykwer provides footage
that makes viewers feel as if a
truck has bit them. The result is
a bloody mess with the ensuing
silence that perfectly shows the
art of a car crash.
Hollywood and American
filmmakers could learn a thing
or two about filming a car accident from these foreign works of
art.

follow this example when showing a person get hit by a car.
German director, Tom Tykwer,
has directed a pair of films
that feature cruel depictions of
car accidents. They are "Lola

2000, which translate to "Run

From America's Highways
to a 'Road Trip Nation'
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
It all began in 2001 with three guys who
jUst graduated college and found themselves
frustrated with the output of their education and not quite ready to jump into the real
world. So they bought a recreational vehicle,
maxed out their credit cards, started traveling
and talking to people. The outcome is Road
Trip Nation (RTN.) Years later, still going
strong, RTN representatives found their way
to CSUSM recruiting for their upcoming New
Zealand road trip.
"We often find even the most successful
people don't know what they want from life.
Going on these trips and talking to people
you realize very
quickly,
you are not alone. ( • J f l h ^

may
member Daniel Sydlik.
Think being out on the open road is what
you need to help you figure it all out? Is there
anyone out there in the world you want to talk
to - someone who has inspired you that you
would like to meet? RTN provides the chance
to do just that. Through one of their RV road
trips with a group, or an "indie trip" with a
few friends, RTN is here to help get you out
there.
Kelli Taylor, another member of RTN,
explains "The more you think you know the
less sure about it all you may be. RTN is about
having genuine experiences in the world and
sharing them."
More information, applications and FAQs
for various trips and grants are available
through RoadTripNation.com. Conditions do
apply, students should take care to evaluate
what grants are available and what is required
of them to obtain funding. Be aware that
grants are paid at the completion of your trip.
Before you hit the road and "max out your
credit cards," as per RTN's FAQs page. For
general information, check out http://www.

Rick Ross "The Boss" is back at
it again. With his sophomore album
Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people
were curious if it would live up to the
enormous hype. Others wondered if
he could even create another record to
top his massive smash hit "Hustlin"'
which was released back in 2006.
Although I believe that no track
on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes
hear "Hustlin"' on the radio, it does
not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his
"A" game this time around.
With his deep bass voice combined
with even deeper and tremendous
beats, this is an album you buy so you
can ride around in your car and bump
your sub-woofers to their mass potential.
Throughout Trilla, some songs will
probably not stick out a whole lot the
first couple of times you listen to them.
Others will immediately catch your
ears and hook you in as new favorites.
Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin
My City," and "The Bos?" are ones
that will most likely be loved from the
moment you hear the first beat.
Another great thing that Rick Ross
has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his
tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as
Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco,
Trick Daddy, and more.
Although all of these artists have
amazing tracks on this album, the
most memorable collaboration on
Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper LiP
Wayne. His guest appearance on the
track "Luxury Tax" is, by far, one of
the best moments on the album.
Overall, Trilla is a star-studded
action packed album that will most
likely be bumping through speakers
for years to come.

Poseidon
BY ROSS LICHTMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Poseidon is a very elegant
restaurant that is set on the
beaches of Del Mar. From
what I saw while eating there,
it is the perfect type of restaurant for everyone. It is a great
place to bring the family,
fancy enough to bring a date,
and hip enough for young
adults to mingle at the bar.
From the moment you step
foot into Poseidon, you notice
the chic bar and eating tables
that surround you. One option
of dining is to have your party
eat around a huge stone fire pit
in the middle of the table. The
environment was very impressive and it gave the impression
that you were eating at a very
expensive five star restaurant.
Although most meals were
a little expensive, it was well
worth the price. Entrees
ranged from delicious seafood
to many different variations
of succulent chicken and pork
chops.
When dining you have the
choices of eating inside, at the
bar, or outside. One of the great
perks about eating outside is
the fact that you are literally
feet away from the beautiful
shores of the Del Mar beaches.
This is especially nice if you
are eating during the sunset
because it is truly a great way
to spend a meal.
The nice thing about the
inside is that it is a lot warmer
and the atmosphere is very
nice. The bar is a great way
to spend the evening drinking with your friends and even
meeting new ones. No matter
where you sit, the service is
excellent and the food is even
better. Top your dinner off
with one of their signature desserts and you will have had a
perfect dinner experience that
you will never forget.

Road blocks and timing issues
recently forced Associated Students, Inc and Campus Activities
| Board to cancel Cal State San Mar| cos's big campus spring event.
In previous years, ASI organized the Spring Fling dance.
"Spring Fling began in the
Spring of 2006. It was started
to be a big spring event that
would be similar to the fall's
Masquerade Ball," Sara Gallegos, Director of Campus Activities and Marketing said.
This
year, CAB and
ASI wanted to try to put
on a new exciting event.
"We've been talking for years
about holding a concert, a large
concert ... in the place of the
actual Spring Fling dance. We
were going to hold a concert on
campus," Gallegos continued.
However, somewhere along
the way, planning came to a
halt forcing CAB to think of
another way to bring students
fun activities for the semester. Students may wonder why
CAB did not bring back the
Spring Fling dance, but there
was no possible way to organize
the dance because of timing.
"By the time we were informed [of the roadblocks] it
was after finals week...To turn
around and try to book a place
... promotion and everything...
we couldn't turn around and
do it," Gallegos explained.
As a result, ASI and CAB decided to put the budget toward
events and collaborate with
other campus organizations.
Essentially, students still
get their money's worth
with the events ASI and
CAB provide to the campus.
"Everything that comes into
CAB and ASI... goes back to
students," Gallegos finished.
Therefore, students, though
it is disappointing to hear of the
concert cancellation, CAB is
still planning a lot of fun events
for us, so attend them, earn
back some of the money your
.tuition paid for and possibly
win some free concert tickets.

MIDDLE EASTERN PROTESTS A WARENESS S PREADS ON C AMPUS

MELANIE SLOCUM
PRIDE STAFF W RITER
On Tuesday, March 8, the
Political Science Club at Cal
State San Marcos hosted the
event "Protests and Political
Change," which featured Political Science professors Dr.
Cyrus Masroori and Dr. Scott
Greenwood discussing current protests in the Middle East.
The event took place during
U-Hour on Tuesday, and students
poured in to listen to the words of
expert professors. An estimate of
75 attendees crammed themselves
into a University Hall classroom.
Political Science Club President Brittany Varga discussed
the event as having "perfect
timing because so much is happening right now in the Middle
East [and] it is important people
understand what is going on."
She continued, "not only is it
important to know what's going
on, but it's imperative to understand why it's happening there."
Dr. Greenwood and Dr. Masroori
aimed to provide such understanding with their presentations.
Dr. Greenwood began the
event with his presentation titled
"Lessons from Tunisia, Egypt
and Libya," which juxtaposed
the democratic success in Tunisia
and Egypt against the tragedy of
events in Libya. Dr. Greenwood
carefully tailored his presentation to a level that was relatable
to CSUSM students by discussing the significant role played
by new media such as Facebook

and Twitter, the globalized economy, the military and more. Dr.
Greenwood's enthusiasm and
empathy stemmed from his travels in these countries, which he
also discussed. Greenwood often
chanted "We can do this!" as a
way to explain the attitudes of the
demonstrators in Egypt and Libya while concurrently contrasting
it to the lack of success in Libya.
Following Dr. Greenwood's
presentation, Dr. Masroori discussed the protests in Iran in
his presentation titled "Iran,
Searching for a Promise." Dr.
Masroori exposed the longevity of Iran's 21-month-long protests and attributed it to three
factors: the state, the opposition
and the international dynamic.
Masroori worked to clear Western media biases by providing a
theoretical basis that aided in ex-
plaining the reasoning behind and effects of the
Iranian
demonstrations.
Whether students showed
up for extra credit, free pizza
or sheer interest in the subject,
there is no doubt that the audience was large. Political Science Club Treasurer Gabriella
Pruitt, surprised by the turnout,
commented: "Although this subject is very important to me, our
campus is still very lackluster in
terms of student life [for a variety
of reasons]. I guess we should
have reserved a larger room!"
Awareness gf political and
humanitarian issues is proving itself especially essential
these days, and as reflected by
the large student turnout, the
CSUSM community realizes this.

If you have ever dreamed
about working at the Disneyland
6r Disneyworld resorts as well
as earn college credit, now is
your chance to hear about joining the Disney College Program.
On Thursday March 17 from
noon to 1 p.m. in the Career
Center (Craven 1400), students
who have previously been a part
of this program will discuss and
show videos explaining different
jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college
program. The program, which
celebrates its 30th year, allows
students to earn college credit
by working, living and taking a
selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or
at the Disneyworld Resort in
Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity
to meet people from all across
the country, establish transferable
skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts.
The program allows students
to work and learn at the same
time in a very unique setting.
The program's sessions run only
in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of
the nature of the Disney program
being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both
theme parks. Depending on which
program a student may choose,
it could last four to six months.
There are a wide variety of jobs to
choose from through the Disney
College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme
parks hotels, hostess, character,
concierge, costuming, custodial,
food and beverage, hospitality,
housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College
Program also allows students to
continue their work at Disney
with professional internships.

I met my wife on a dating site,
proposed on Skype, and our family attended our Vegas wedding
via live streaming Internet video.
When two percent of all marriages in the United States come from
eHarmony alone, it may be time
to face the fact that Internet dating sites have replaced bars, clubs
and classrooms as the main places to meet your mate. College students are a busy group, balancing
school and often a job. Online dating may be a viable option if you
find yourself in need of romance.
Although the same social protocols apply to fostering an online
attraction, dating on the web can
be tricky. Mastering non-verbal
communication skills in addition to absent body language can
take months. Before you spend
hundreds of dollars on dead-end
dates, take the time to read these
tips that will help the virtual
Casanova make the jump from
online zero to romantic hero.
1.
Joining
a
Site
Do: Join a few different sites
at first. Dating sites range from
very general to niche sites that
are designed for a group like
single parents or Christians. Be
sure to join at least one of each
in order to objectively establish your comfort zone. After a little time, you will know
which site(s) work best for you.
Don't: Pay for a membership until you have received a decent response rate. Most sites offer a free
sign-up but won't allow email or
chat communication with other
members until a fee is paid. You
might pay for a site only to realize later that its interface is not
user-friendly or that there are
simply no members in your area.
2.
Creating
a profile
Do: Post at least 150 words. Be
sure to accurately explicate your
personality and interests. Use
humor and wit to entice a possible mate and leave out the sob
story about your ex. If you like
model airplanes and Foghat then
find a clever way to say so. Also,
post a minimum-of three pictures
that illustrate your best look, your

�TAKE CARE OVER THERE
TRAVEL TIPS FOR SPRING BREAK SAFETY
J ENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E DITOR
The sober headlines announcing the death of Austin Bice, the
SDSU International Business student who was studying abroad in
Spain before he went missing in
February, emblazoned the reality
of travel dangers in stark black
and white print. As CSUSM, students will soon leave behind the
stress and anxiety of midterm exams and jet away for spring break
adventures. Before packing your
suitcase, refresh yourself with
these travel guidelines that will
help ensure a safe return home.
Before you pick a destination,
check government travel websites
to make sure there are no travel
alerts or warnings for that area.
Unstable government, war, terrorism, natural disasters and disease
are all factors that may render a
country or state unsafe for tourism. The CSUSM global educa-
tion website contains links to these
resources and more at csusm.
e du/global/travelresources.
When deciding what to bring
on your trip, keep in mind that
you don't want to make yourself a theft target. The website
travel.safe.gov advises travelers
to "carry the minimum number
of valuables, and plan places to
conceal them. Your passport,
cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe.
When you have to carry them on
your person, you may wish to put
them each in a different place
rather than all in one wallet or
pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny
packs and outside pockets that
are easy targets for thieves. Inside
pockets and a sturdy shoulder
bag with the strap worn across
your chest are somewhat safer.
One of the safest places to carry
valuables is in a pouch or money
belt worn under your clothing."
Additionally, students should
educate themselves about the
laws of the state or country before beginning a trip. According
to information on studentsabroad.
state.gov, "Your U.S. citizenship
does not make you exempt from
full ^prosecution under another
country's criminal justice system,
and the U.S. government cannot bail you out. Many countries
impose harsh penalties for violations that would be considered
minor in the United States, and
unlike in the U.S., you may be
considered guilty until proven
innocent. Ignorance of the law
is no excuse, so be informed."
Also be sure to secure proper
documentation and any vaccinations needed to enter the country.
Once you arrive, exercise street
smarts. You may be there to enjoy
the nightlife, beaches and throngs
of fun loving "spring breakers,"
but enter the scene with a level
head. Studentsabroad.state.gov
says to avoid underage and excessive alcohol consumption, avoid
drugs and drug use, use only li-

censed and regulated transportation, avoid carrying weapons, and
be conscientious. Take precautions—don't gamble with your
safety. Make sure that you don't
go off alone and that someone
you trust always knows were you
are. Doing so may save your life.
These guidelines may help
students to make wise choices
and have fun while traveling,
but their execution depends on
you. Educate, control, and enjoy
yourself this spring break—globetrotting can lead to amazing
experiences if done the right way.

Telling 'her story : CSUSM celebrates women's history month

For the past 100 years, women
have shaken the firmament with
the strength of their forwardmarching footsteps. From suffrage and birth control to political
offices and space shuttle missions,
the 20th century saw a surge of
change as women broke free
from oppression and challenged
tradition, leading generations
into a fight for gender equality.
The United States recognizes March as Women's History
Month, honoring the diversity
and achievements of the many
daughters, sisters, and mothers who have left their marks
on the global timeline. Tuesday,
March 8 was the centennial celebration of International Women's Day, a day to reflect on the
struggles and victories of remarkable women throughout history.

SOFTBALL RIPS
THROUGH COUGAR
CLASH
Few teams of any kind at any
level have dominated a tournament the way Cal State San
Marcos softball dominated their
home tournament this weekend, the Cougar Clash. Playing
their first games on day two of
the tournament, the Cougars
shut out Emerson College 17-0
and the University of British
Columbia 9-0. On Saturday,
CSUSM again victimized Emerson College 8-0 and followed
that with an identical 8-0 final
against Hope International. On
Sunday, the Cougars slipped by
UBC 2-1 and swept the tournament with a 4-0 victory over
#13 Dickenson State. To go
with the aggregate 48-1 score,
the Cougars also received a perfect game and a no-hitter from
Brenna Sandberg on Friday, and
a two-hitter by Brittany Boone
followed by a 13-strikeout performance from Sandberg on day
two, and a 17-strikeout performance by Sandberg on Sunday
against Dickenson. Sandberg
moves to 21-4 on the year.
Forty years ago, athletic programs at CSUSM might have
consisted of 15 men's teams and
no women's teams. In 1972, a
federal law changed that possible
ratio, creating new opportunities
for women in sports. Title IX
of the 1972 Education Amendments prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs in
institutions that receive federal
funds. That includes all grade
levels through college and all
programs including sports. Concerns regarding fairness and the
resulting legal challenges created additional components to the
original law. Jennifer Milo, Associate Director of Athletics and
Senior Women's Administrator at
CSUSM, said Tide IX "has boosted the opportunities for girls and
women in sports tremendously."
Milo stated there are currently
over 300,000 women playing intercollegiate sports nationwide.
The purpose of Title IX is to
provide equal opportunity in educational institutions. A common
presumption is that in order to
have equality between the sexes,
there should be an even 50/50
split. However, at many colleges,
women outnumber men. According to Milo, CSUSM's student
population consists of 60 percent women and 40 percent men.
Compliance with Title IX requirements for equal opportunity must
be "proportional," Milo said, by
considering campus population
and other demographic factors.
Valerie McMurtrie Bonnette explains Title IX clearly
in her comprehensive manual,
Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works - In
Plain English. Bonnette previously worked for The Office for
MEN'S LACROSSE
TO HOST FIRST
GAME
CSUSM's newest club team,
men's lacrosse, will host its first
home game Saturday March 19
at 2 p.m. While the club has
already played several games,5
fans have three chances to see
the team play on campus. After this week's match against
Occidental College, fans can
watch games against CSU Long
Beach on April 9 at 3 p.m. and
versus Concordia University on
April 27 at 6 p.m. CSUSM lost
their last game in a nail-biter at
CSU Channel Islands, 14-13. .

explained that if there are 300 athletes, 60 percent must be women
and 40 percent must be men in order to comply with Title IX. Similarly, CSUSM must provide an
equal opportunity when disbursing athletic scholarships, reflecting the female/male ratio proportionally, and the same is true for
providing benefits and opportunities. Title IX does not require
institutions to offer athletics programs , nor does it require offering
a specific number of teams. It also
does not require the same number
of teams for men and women.
"For men or women, what
sports [can] do as far as teaching life lessons is important,"
Milo said, adding that providing equal access to sports is
just "the right thing to do."

the 1979 Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Interpretation and the
1996 "Three-Part Test," which
according to Bonnette's manual
are the major sources used for
specific requirements for athletics programs and interpretation of
Title IX regulations. Her manual
also describes the 1979 policy
as consisting of 13 components
separated into three categories of
compliance requirements, or the
"Three-Part Test." The three parts
are accommodation of interests
and abilities,financialassistance,
and benefits and opportunities.
Milo emphasized that for each
of the three parts, proportionality
is key, because Title IX requires
that institutions provide equal
treatment of participants in overall women's and overall men's
programs. As an example, Milo

impressive second in
the mile and third in
the half mile. In the
last 200 meters of
the mile race, Campfield propelled himself from 9th to 2nd.
"That's my favorite
part of the race, the
finish. It's what I run
the whole race for," he
said. Now that Nationals
has ended the indoor track
season, he looks forward
to the outdoor season because
more of his teammates compete.
. His goals for this outdoor season are to break four minutes in
the mile and figure out a way to
beat his nemesis, Silas Kisorio
of Oklahoma Christian, who has
beaten Campfield twice by less
than a second. He plans to prepare for the outdoor season by
putting in lots of miles and doing intensive interval workouts
that really push his limits. Mentally he likes to relax and not concentrate too much on the races.
He notices now after getting
back into running how much it
contributes to other aspects of his
life. He feels that running keeps
him more motivated, lively and
focused. He is even considering continuing to run after college. He plans to compete with
professionals at the USA Nationals and has the goal of possibly doing the Olympic trials
next year. Campfield also hopes
to remain active in running and
other sports in the future as well
as acquire a job in either professional sports or college athletics.
TOURNAMENT TIME IN TOWN
THE BEST P UCES TO WATCH MARCH MAOHESS
M ICHAEL R AWSON
SPORTS E DITOR
There are those who believe
the end of March deserves to be a
national holiday, while others just
enjoy the thrill of victory and the
agony of defeat. Then there are
the ones who are in it for the food.
March Madness—otherwise
known as the college basketball's
championship tournament—provides sports fans with everything
they could possibly dream of. The
first two days of the tournament,
March 17-18, games are played
four at a time from 9 a.m. until 9
p.m. This year, San Diego State
received a #2 seed, their best ever,
and look for their first ever tournament win on Thursday. While
some friends may be hosting parties in their homes, how many
people do you know with four
televisions in one room? The Pride
comes through with the places
you need to be this time around.
As ja first bet, Oggi's Pizza
and Brewing Company used to
be North County's finest. Saturated with flat screen televisions
and serving up delicious pizza
and salads, Oggi's wasn't to be
topped. Since moving out of their
location in the Westfield North
County Fair in Escondido, however, Oggi's now offers only their
Encinitas and Del Mar restau-
rants to North County viewers.
Still, seven scattered locations
remain in San Diego County.
Meanwhile, back at Westfield's
off of Via Rancho Pkwy, Oggi's
former location has been replaced
by something even better. Bringing friends who can't even spell
basketball? Stop by North County
Tavern and Bowl, where finding
something for everybody to do
couldn't be easier. The four-sided
bar allows even patrons passingby to stop for a beer and a game
without ever entering the tavern.
The Westfield parking lot remains
a Mecca for suds and sports, too.
Stop by BJ's (one of five in San
Diego County) for their giant
screen that automatically rotates
between 1-4 games at any time.
Pubs and bars can offer
fine viewing options as well.
Churchill's English Pub on San
Marcos Blvd. features the county's best beer selection and fine
pub grub. The Stadium in Encinitas gets pricey, but it might
be worth making reservations
during March Madness to sit
at one of their booths equipped
with its own flat-screen. For the
downtown-bound, keep pubs like
Hooley's (see Happy Hour of the
Week) and bars like the Tilted
Kilt (by Petco Park) in mind for
a more city-minded experience.
�S AN D IEGO CELEBRATES T HE GREENEST DAY OF T HE Y EAR:
ST. PATRICK'S D AY
LEXI POLLARD
P RIDE STAFF W RITER
St. Patrick's Day, the green
holiday that falls on March 17,
did not originate in Ireland. According to history.com, the United States of America held the first
St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1762
when Irish soldiers serving in the
English army displayed pride in
Irish roots with traditional music
and marching. Historically celebrated in the U.S., Canada and
Australia, recent celebrations
have undergone a transformation
in Ireland. The traditional use of
St. Patrick's Day as a religious
occasion now exists as a parade
in Dublin that attracts millions of
viewers. While Ireland, New York
City and Boston host St. Patrick's
Day parade celebrations and citizens of Chicago dye the Chicago
River green, San Diego offers
a multitude of diverse events.
St. Patrick's Day in the
Gaslamp Quarter consists of
the Miller Light ShamROCK,
an event filled with the sounds
of Irish rock, beverages and Astro Turf replacing the traditional
glamorous red carpet with a
"green" carpet. The eccentrically green celebration, dubbed
the "biggest St. Patrick's Day
block party west of the Mississippi" by SignOnSanDiego.com,
attracts up to 20,000 people per
year. Located at Sixth Avenue
and Market Street, this event
caters to and only allows guests
21 and up. The age restriction
will ensure an abundance of
green beer throughout the night.
If ShamROCK does not appeal to celebratory taste, Hooley's
Irish Pub and Grill in La Mesa
hosts Hooleyfest on St. Patrick's
Day. Hooleyfest lasts from 4 p.m.
- midnight, and those who celebrate with full festive force have
the option of free saferideshome night, but if one desires a calmer
within a 5-mile radius. Similar celebration of St. Patrick's Day,
to ShamROCK, Hooleyfest is Venissimo Cheese in San Diego
a 21 and older event, but offers hosts a Beer and Cheese class.

Both
ShamROCK
and curious visitors to craft beer and
Hooleyfest offer music, enter- cheeses. The venue encourages
tainment and dancing into the reservations and green attire.
Although St. Patrick's Day
did not expectedly originate in
Ireland and society commercialized traditions, residents of
San Diego can experience the
lighthearted fun this holiday encourages. Most local and public
events permit only those of legal
drinking age, but those excluded
always have the option of spending St. Patrick's Day pinching
those who forgot to wear green
to commemorate the holiday.

Looking for a five star restaurant located in San Marcos,
want to know where you can get
a hot dog at 11 p.m. or plan to
spend Spring Break in a new city
and have no clue what or where
to eat? No need to worry. The
Yelp app comes to the rescue.
With Yelp, users can locate all
nearby dining locations, browse
by their proximity, neighborhood, food pricing and even by
what is open at that exact time.
The Yelp app also allows you
quick and easy access to a large
collection of customer reviews,
allowing you to avoid terrible
eateries. But the Yelp app is not
only user for restaurant finds.
It also helps users find nonfood related necessities, such as
banks, drugstores, bars, shops
and gas stations in your area.
Released Feb. 10, this app sits
proudly on Time Magazines "50
Best iPhone Apps of 2011" for its
large array of information, clear
listings and user friendliness. The
Yelp app has all of the basic ingredients of a GPS app, but goes
a step further by including a large
selection of outside information.
The most impressive feature of
this app is when you are looking at a restaurant and decide to
make a reservation at the said restaurant, your phone can directly
connect you with the push of a
button. The Yelp app is available
in English, Dutch, French and
German. Yelp is available for the
leading smart phones like BlackBerry, iPhone and iPod Touch,
Android, Palm Pre, Yelp Mobile
and Windows Phone 7. Recently, Yelp caused a stir amongst
food lovers as an iPad app due
to the large screen for viewing
dishes from different restaurants.
Whether on the go, traveling out of town or just yearning to learn more about what is
in your community, the versatile Yelp app is perfect for you.

HAPPY HOUR O F THE WEEK:
HOOLEY'S IRISH PUB A ND GRILL
M ICHAEL R AWSON
S PORTS E DITOR
Of all the Irish-style pubs
in San Diego County that do
their best to imitate authentic
Irish haunts, Hooley's Pub and
Grill comes closest. The allwood décor really helps create
the Irish ambiance. And it isn't
just the decoration that helps
you feel like you are in Ireland.
Hooley's offers a plethora of
traditional Irish dishes on their
menu like corned beef and cabbage and boxtys (a stuffed potato pancake topped with cheese),
but what really makes this place
special is their Guinness-infused
meals: Guinness onion soup,
Guinness BBQ beef, even Guin-
ness ice cream, not to mention
pints upon pints of the delicious
beer itself. They also have a
wide range of beer on tap, from
the Irish red Smithwicks, the unfiltered Blue Moon and the ailAmerican Coors Light. Feeling
especially festive? Try a Black
and Tan (a pint layered with
Bass then Guinness) or a Snake
Bite (half Guinness and half cider). Beer not your thing? The
bar pours over a dozen different
types of whisky. Hooley's offers
something for everyone to help
them get into the party mood.
On Mondays, Hooley's runs
an all-day happy hour, as well as
a nightly late night happy hour
with $1 off draught beers, wine
and spirits, $2 off appetizers and
$3 off all bottles of wine. But the
deals don't end there - stop in
for $2 taco Tuesday, $10 Boxtys
Wednesdays and all you can eat
fish ' n chips on Sundays. So there
is no bad day to stop in for a pint.
Hooley's seems to cover all
its bases in satisfying different
types of personalities and taste
buds. They also show all major
sports events, including soccer, and they offer live music even a free ride home on nights
with big gigs (within a five mile
radius, of course - they have
to draw the line somewhere).
This St. Patrick's Day, throw
on your greenest of garb or most
Irish of outfits and saunter down
to one of Hooley's two locations, Rancho San Diego (2955
Jamacha Rd.) and La Mesa
(5500 Grossmont Center Dr.).
