By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
Pride Editor
Cal State San Marcos was
greeted with pouring rain and
hail on Saturday, April 21, the
scheduled date for SpringFest
2001. The event was cancelled
because of the weather conditions. SpringFest, sponsored by
ASI, was scheduled to include
food, games and entertainment,
including the Battle of the Bands.
Brad Schmidt, ASI Club
Technician, said that the event
would be postponed to a later
date.

"It's a real pleasure to see
this award given to you for
your work," said Gonzalez. "I
hope this tradition of quality
research will continue on into
the future. I would like to recognize not only these students
for the quality of their work,
but also the colleagues, professors and staff who assisted
them."

The blueprints for the new

Administration building may
come to fruition in the near
future. The CSU Board of
Trustees approved the building
project, which will cost $26.8
million. "Everything (that is
built) is funded by state issues,"
explained Carol Bonomo,
Associate Vice President of
External Affairs.
In order for this project to
receive funding, it needs to be
included in a bond issue ballot
for March 2002. According to
Bonomo, the entire bond issue
ballot will range from " $2 billion to $8 billion." The project
must be approved by the state
legislature by August 31 of this
year in order to be included
on the March 2002 bond issue
ballot. If it is not approved^
Bonomo said that the University
would try again in November. If
the legislature passes the bond
issue ballot, then the governor
will put the project in the budget and construction will begin
shortly thereafter.
The process from project
approval to completion can be
lengthy. The Arts and Science
buildings, approved in 1998, are
still currently in the construction phase. If the bond ballot
passes next year, then the building will be scheduled for completion by June 2006. However,
this date may be as early as
2004 or 2005.

Christian Students Hold Weeklong Bible Marathon on Campus
By J. RYAN SANDAHL
Pride Staff Writer
"We're hoping to bring different people from all walks of
life together to dialogue," said
Ruth Bran, a spokesperson and
volunteer for Priority Christian
Challenge (PCC), a club on campus. PCC hosted a Bible Reading
Marathon last week.
Students, faculty, and staff
were able to sign up for halfhour sessions in which the Bible
was read aloud with a goal of
reading the Bible from cover to
cover by the end of the week.
The marathon lasted from seven
in the morning to nine o'clock at
night each day of the week.
"We're not here to throw the
word in people's faces like Jeb
does,'' Bran said, referring to
pastor Jeb Smock who comes
each semester to the free speech
area and shouts accusations at
students. "This is why there are
no microphones or speakers set
up," Bran explained. "It's'more
of a quiet setting where people
can come listen and dialogue
with one another," she added.
There were many reasons
why the club decided to put on
the Bible Marathon. "No book
has sold more copies than the

Bible," Bran explained. "That is
why we want to have it read.
That and many people don't read
the Bible as often or as thoroughly as this."
Included in the reading is a
Spanish/English version of the
Bible so students that speak
Spanish could also read if they
wished. Bran did much of her
reading in Spanish.
"I think PCC has good
intentions/' said CSUSM student
Chris Orman. "I wouldn't have
a problem with other religions
doing what these guys are doing.
It adds to the diversity of the
campus."
Priority Christian Challenge
is different from another d ub on
campus known as Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship (IVCF).
Many IVCF members signed up
and helped read the Bible during
the week. As did many other
students throughout the week.

�April Is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Staff Writer
Not many people may be
aware that, in 1997, the State of
California named April Sexual
Assault Awareness Month. Sexual
violence can be a hush-hush topic
and may get downplayed on some
university campuses. At Cal State
San Marcos the University Store
is the only area on campus posting information.
Sexual assault, as defined by
the United States National Victim
Center, is "any unwanted, indecent sexual conduct by a person
towards a man, woman or child,
accompanied by the threat of,
or the exposure to danger, physr
ical suffering or injury, fear,
shame, humiliation and mental
anguish."
InCalifornia there is "a vision
to end sexual assault." The
California Coalition Against
Sexual Assault (CALCASA) is
working to "expose the insidiousness of sexual violence, raise
public awareness of what the
American Medical Association
has called a 'silent and violent epidemic,' change public perception
of sexual violence and heal this
degradation against the human
race."
From CALCASA's March
2001 report (www.calcasa.orgl
lists some interesting statistics
about sexual assault:
An estimated 302,100
women and 92,700 men are
forcibly raped each year in
the United States
• In the United States, one in
three girls and one in five
boys is assaulted as a child.
The typical child sex
offender molests an average
of 117 children, most of
whom do not report the
offense.
Sexual abuse is the most
under-reported crime in the
United States. While the
number of cases isn't
known, researchers estimate
that as few as one in 10
cases is reported to authorities.
• . Only 2 percent of rapists are
convicted arid imprisoned.
• About one in three women
and one in eight men is
raped after turning 18. . „
San Diego is number two in
the state for reported rape
occurrences.
"In order to stop being victims, we ourselves must take
up the struggle against [sexual
assault]. Individually and collectively we can break the silence
and make it no longer a taboo subject, or something shameful that
weighs us down," states Susan
Griffith, author o f "Rape: The
Politics of Consciousness''
Here are 20 Ways You Can
Begin to Stop Sexual Assault
from the 1998 California AntiSexist Political Caucus:
1) If you have been a victim
of sexual assault either by a
stranger, acquaintance or an
intimate, know there is help
out there. Seek it.
2) Interrupt rape/sexual assault
jokes.
3) Women: Take self-defense
classes.
4) Recognize that no one asks
or deserves to be assaulted
ever.
5) Don't blame the victims
for the violence perpetrated
against them.
6) Know that silence does not
equal consent.
7) Take responsibility for your
own,sexuality; do not let it
be defined by your partner,
the media or anyone else.
8) Donate money or time as a

Q: WhatexactI ly do you want to

A: "I want to
see ASI further student life on campus
through the promotion and success of
such events as the Spring Fest. I encourage
students to attend ASI events and would
hope that such events would promote student awareness of ASI, as well as the student life here at CSUSM."
Q: What role would you play in implementing your goals and expectations?
A: "I would try to implement ASI
goals through the responsibilities of the VP

an up-to-date budget, keep the students
informed of the budget through the ASI
board and to keep track of budgeting success of ASI."
Q: Why should the students elect you?
A: "I have the experience as undergraduate representative, and through this
experience I have a feel for some of the
desires of the students, such as the need
for increased studenjpfe. I enjoy being
a student at CSUSM and hope that the

Ton said that important issues CSUSM
students face include a "lack of information and connection in order for
them to utilize all the free and helpful
resources on campus." He added that
these resources include the Career
Center, the Writing and Math Centers, EOPS, ASI, ASPIRE, The Pride,
financial aid and counselors. Ton recognizes that students negotiate other
problems, including an "unexciting
campus life" and the need to get more
involved in the campus community.
Ton said he also thinks that "moderation," in both academics and free time
are necessary ingredients in a college
environment.
In order to make himself available
to students, Ton said that he will "have

Jocdyn Brown is running for Vice President of External Affairs. She has worked as
ASI corporate secretary for the last year.
When asked, "What specific actions would
you take to get students more involved in
campus life?" Brown responded, "It's important to bring back issues from the C SSA...
issues that effect all students in the CSUs. I'd
be starting a lobby corps to bring students up
to date on political issues. I also think that
with anything you want participation in, the
biggest thing is advertising."
Brown proposed advertising on campus
using "open forums in the free speech area,
posting, and working on posting policy.
For elections they open it up. We've been
putting things up in chalk, but it seems like
we can't do that for anything else.
Regarding student involvement, Brown
added, "You can put it all out there, but then
it depends on how many students come to
you. One challenge is that we don't have a
residence hall."
Asked, "What have you learned so far,
from being involved in ASI, about the position?" Brown replied, "I've gone to probably 50 percent of the CSSA conferences, so I
see the whole process. A lobby corps would
help as a political committee, to get students
involved with issues like tax on text books,
to bring that information downfromCSSA
through a group of students who could help
me spread it around campus. I also have
helped with voter registration and the open
forum, when we brought local candidates on
campus before last election."
Brown is a biology major. She said she

The Pride
The Charlie Parker Story Shown for CSUSMs Film Series
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
Beneath the shadows of the dark,
smoke-filled nightclubs of the
1940s comes a murky portrayal
of the life of the world's most
famous junkie.
Sifting through the nightclub
life, laden with alcohol and druginduced delirium, Clint Eastwood
creates an account focused on
the character of Charlie Parker in
"Bird." Admission to "Bird," the
second piece in CSUSM's Art's
and Lectures Film Series, was
free, but only about 30 people
showed up.
Touching only certain historical aspects of the Bebop era,
the film showcases more of the
music created by Parker (played
by Forest Whitaker).
Bouncing between scenes of
heroin-induced mayhem and
improvisational jazz, Whitaker
does a great job getting into character for this tough roll. The film
highlights the last few years of
Parker's life and how he neglected to care for himself, leading
to his demise. When he died,
the coroner estimated his age to
be 65, but he was actually 34.
"Don't ever let them take me
back to Kansas City," said Parker,
who moved away from his roots
and created his own completely
fresh style of music. Known for
changing the face of jazz forever,
the Bird added eighth notes in
his melodies, giving bebop flavor
to old favorites and eventually
creating an entirely new sound.
The bebop musicians played so
fast and had so many rhythm
changes that listeners sometimes
complained they couldn't dance
to the new sound.
Touring through Harlem,
Chicago, Hollywood, the southern states and Paris, Parker didn't
listen to the criticism and was
dedicated to finding an audience
and ways to make money by playing his horn. Relatively unsuccessful in gaining monetary success, the Bird was able to eventually turn heads and one scene
showed fans in Paris raining
down roses as he ended a performance.
Although technology in the
1940s was not what it is today,
sound enhancements allowed the
true recordings to be used for
the soundtrack, and this accented
what the film focused on: the
music of Charlie Parker and this
father of bebop. Clint Eastwood
got together with Chan Parker,
Charlie's fourth wife, and found
many of Parker's live recordings.
They weren't very clear but by
using digital sound equipment,
Eastwood and Parker were able
to find some recordings never
before released that add to the
true beauty of the Bird's live
improvisation abilities, matching
the dark nightclub scenes that
saturate the film,
One recurring image in the
film is a single drum cymbal
floating through the air used to
bridge different scenes. The cym-
at again.
Two important men in
Parker's life as told in the story
are Dizzy Gillespie (played by
Samuel E. Wright) and Red
Rodney (played by Michael
Zelniker). Gillespie, also know
for his contributions to bebop,
portrays the success that Parker
was never able to obtain. In the
film, you find the love the two
had for each other, but they
end up taking different paths.
Gillespie leads a successful big
band in an overt attempt to prove
the masses wrong about the new
sound, while Parker's irresponsibility leads him to always being
broke, late and in the mist of
drug disorientation.
Parker befriends Red Rodney
while in L.A., where Red finds
Parker sitting on a trashcan shooting up heroin preparing for a
gig. The two end up teaming up
later in the movie for a colorful
tour of the South, marking one
of the only bright tours in the
film. In this part, it shows not
only segregation at nightclubs of
rural areas, but the group having
fun as they successfully perform,
drawing at times dancing crowds
of over 500.

Joey Ramone's Death R A M O N E S
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Staff Writer
Joey Ramone, front man for the
pioneering American punk band The
Ramones, died Sunday, April 15, in a
New York hospital at age 49.
Ramone, often hailed as the father of
punk rock, was hospitalized last month
with lymphatic cancer, which he'd been
fighting for years.
Born Jeffrey Hyman, Ramone started playing in garage bands in New Yorkhe quickly put aside drumming to front
for the Ramones, whose four members
all adopted the same last name. The
band burst on the scene in a musical
era quickly growing stagnant. Ramone
called 70s rock "a hodgepodge of Pink
Floyd and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
and all that. [We] stripped it right down
to bone, and we disassembled it and
reassembled it and put all the raw energy
and raw emotion and guts and attitude
back into it."
They put attitude and energy back
into a flagging scene and are credited
with the subsequent explosion of the
British punk music scene in 1976.
After spending only two days and
$6,000 on their debut album, The
Ramones, the band toured in England
in 1977, and its early music provided
a veritable breeding ground for bands
like The Clash and The Sex Pistols to
take off from. Their simple, three-chord
melodies and high-energy, garage rock
sound never propelled them into the Top
40, but it did establish them as "the
daddy punk group of all time," according
to Joe Strummer of The Clash, who paid
homage to The Ramones in a recent
interview with Spin magazine.

style. Joey R. (3rdfrom left), died ofcancer

Their first single, "Bliztkrieg Bop"
paved the way for 21 albums, 14 of
which were studio-produced efforts by
renowned producer Phil Spector. 1979's
effort, End ofthe Century,; was their bestselling album, and while the band only
climbed as high as 44 on the charts, their
remake of "Baby, I Love You" made it
into the top 10 in Britain.
Despite the lack of commercial success, The Ramones. remained beloved in
the hearts of fans in both the United
States and Britain for more than 22 years.
The band members' blend of leather,
denim, sunglasses and sneakers rendered
them recognizable anywhere, along with
characteristically short, thumping singles
like "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheila is a
Punk Rocker" and "Beat on the Brat."
Ramones Mania, the band's 1988 compilation album, quite possibly holds the
record for most songs on one album,
casing 30 of their most popular.
The Ramones retired in 1996 with a
farewell performance on the Lollapalooza
tour and a final performance in Toronto
in 1997.
Joey Ramone spent nearly half of his
life performing, and those of us who were
lucky enough to catch The Ramones, live
hold a ticket stub somewhere reminding
us that we were privy to something
groundbreaking. Joey Ramone will be
missed.

Tom Green Fingered
By MARLINO BATINGA
Pride Staff Writer
"I could not stop laughing,
my stomach ended up hurting
so much" said Lucy Barragan,
a Liberal Arts major from USD.
"I was already falling off of the
edge of my seat and five minutes of the movie hadn't even
passed." If you enjoy MTV's
"The Tom Green Show," then
your stomach will definitely be
hurting after you see "Freddy
Got Fingered." Green, director,
co-writer, and star of this new
motion picture, brings his outrageous antics to the big screen
once again as he plays Gord
Brady, a 28-year-old who dreams
of being an animation artist.
I have to admit this isn't
the greatest movie, but there is
unquestionably no other movie
like this out there. If you've followed Tom Green's work, then
you'd know what to expect from
this madman. However, for those
of you who haven't, let me warn
you that this film will keep you
on your toes due to Green's
sexual and bizarre humor.
When Brady leaves his
hometown of Portland, Oregon
in the attempt of fulfilling his
fantasies in Los Angeles, his
parents couldn't have been more
ecstatic that their son was finally leaving home. As result of
a poor evaluation of his talent,
however, Brady gives up and
runs back home to Portland. His
lack of inspiration causes his
father to try to force him to move
out in order to find a job, but
Brady retaliates by provoking
a father-son feud. With this storyline, "Freddy Got Fingered"
puts a twist on the concept of
father-son relationships as well
as providing the audience with
the moral issue of "not giving
up."
My only issue was that the
movie didn't really make any
sense. "Freddy Got Fingered,"
nevertheless, is a movie that I
recommend and should not be
overlooked, just find someone
to go with and be prepared to
laugh like you've never laughed
before. Tom Green's antics are
definitely worth the money.

o, why is this happening?
What is wrong with us? Do
we, as students, really just not
care? Well, the lack of attendance could easily prove that, yet
enough students complain about
having nothing to do, so they
obviously do care. So, why are
students not showing up? Let's
look at the possible reasons:
The off-campus events are
easy to explain. They are not at a
convenient location to just drop
in. Lack of advertising could
explain it, but most clubs and
organizations have flyers, billboards, signs, and some, not all,
clubs send their club meeting

Judging h y tthe AST R nudget
for Fiscal Year 2000, the student body is paying for a huge
bureaucracy that needs to be
refocused. A large amount of
the budget goes toward employee salaries, an observation that
does not reflect negatively upon
the work of our employees, rather exemplifies a fiscal policy
in need of reform. As an ASI
"shareholder," I would like to
make the following recommendations for next year's budget:
Problem: CSUSM students
do not know how their money
is being spent.
Recommendation :
Videotape the ASI meetings
when the budget is proposed so
that every student can see how
their representatives are allocating their money and how their
representatives voted. Also, post
the budget in the recreation center where all the students can
see it.
Problem: Half the $860,000
budget went toward employee
salaries, benefits, payroll taxes,
and university fees.
Recommendation: Pass legislation restricting that amount
to no more than 35% of the annual budget. Enact a 10-year mora-
t n r i n m o n p mnlnvpp r aises a nd
benefits, retaining the employees we have now but letting
them know that they won't be
getting a raise anytime soon.
Work with the university about
eliminating excessive fees.
Problem: The CSUSM Early
Learning Center gets almost
no support from the university.
Last year, Betsy Gibbs of Cal
Letter to

State Fullerton conducted a survey of twenty CSU Child Care
Facilities. Nineteen CSU's contributed an average of $56,000
to their respective childcare programs. According to the survey,
CSUSM was the only school that
did not contribute any money
directly toward its daycare center. Recommendation: Insist that
the administration support our
day care facility and return
that amount to the students.
The "extra" money would,help
offset the $160,000 loss the

F a r l v L e a r n i n & C e n t e r e xneri
ences annually.
Problem: Restrict discretionary spending. Example: The
Early Learning Center shows it
spends $1,000 on advertising,
but we never see any advertisements in the campus newspaper. That Money probably went
toward administrative supplies,
but the ASI budget has that category listed with a separate
amount.
Recommendation: Design a
budget that restricts this type of
spending.
Problem: Only $25,000 of
the $860,000 budget (less than
3%) is allocated toward supporting club activities.
Recommendation: Increase
that amount to entice more club
participation.
Finally, as a show of good
faith, the ASI Board of Directors
could vote themselves a 10%
decrease in their scholarships.
They would return the combined
savings of that money (approximately $3,300) to the students.

D rama at t he C omputer L ab
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
As I . walked to my seat in
the open access computer lab in
Academic Hall, I began to realize that in the time it took me
to print a copy of my midterm
project, my computer space had
been invaded by a group of students who were huddled around
the computer next to mine.
At first I didn't think anything of it. I figured that a simple "Excuse me" would do the
trick, and I would have my own
space back. As I approached the
pack of bodies clustered around
my station, I noticed that not
only did I no longer have a chair,
but the mouse and keyboard of
my computer were practically
buried under a pile of backpacks and binders. One of these
backpacks happened to be conveniently placed on the right
hand side of the keyboard so that
my midterm project was now
concluded with seven pages of
2's 3's and 6's.
Naturally I assumed that the
whole situation was an accident,
and that these invaders would
certainly understand my position when I asked them to move
their belongings and their bodies
out of my space. Once I shouted
over them to get their attention,
I got a response, but not exactly
what I expected.
When I asked them to please
move their stuff and relinquish
my chair, they looked at me
like I was an idiot. I received no
apology, and I was looked upon
as if I was the one causing a
problem. The "chair t hief' actually asked me to find him another seat. I thought to myself,
"Remain calm. Some people just
can't help being stupid."
Not once did I raise my
voice, nor did I make a scene,
although I had every right to.
Instead I spoke politely and maintained my composure so that I
did not "sink to
their level," so
to speak.
After a
short deliberation, I got my
chair back, but
now the mound
of backpacks
that was originally on top of
my keyboard was piled on the
floor at my feet. So there I sat,
sidesaddle in my chair trying
to create a reference page for
my project, while the swarm of
students carried on at a noise
level that made it impossible to
concentrate on anything.
I am not quite sure what they
were doing on the computer, but
they were glued to the screen
like a group of eight-year-old
boys looking at a dirty magazine. Who knows, but perhaps
I was interrupting some type
of substantial bonding moment
for these individuals. Maybe
they were just blatantly rude.
Whatever the case, I was amazed
at the lack of respect for others
that they exhibited.
I realize this particular lab is
not designated a "quiet" lab, and
that these students had as much
of a right to be there as I did.
What they do not have, however,
is the right to disrupt others who
are minding their own business,
working intently on important
school projects.
We are all here to learn the
skills necessary to succeed in
life, yet some
of us seem to
lack the basic
"people skills
needed to
interact with
others on
campus. Like
it or not, we
all have to work together here,
so how about brushing up on
your common courtesy guidelines. We all will benefit.
My intent in sharing this
episode is not to point a finger at
anyone in particular, but instead
it is to open someone's eyes to
their irrational behavior. I hold
no grudges, nor do I seek any
type of revenge for the actions
of these students. My only hope
is that these, individuals now
realize how their actions affect
others, and that perhaps they
will begin to show respect and
courtesy towards their fellow
students.
"Some people
just can't help
being stupid."

the baton to Niblett who had

who, with no time to lose, ran
an excellent race, handing the
baton to Downey, a 400-meter

the 800-meter. Downey ran the
800-meter in 2:22. Overall, the
women ran a time of 9:33.2

"This was our last opportunity to reach the qualifying
times, and although I thought
we were not going to make the

said Coach Scott: The women's

very surprised and happy with
their performances and that they
reached their personal best. "It

said Wilborn.
The men's 1,500-meter featured Marcus Chandler (4:01.3)

April 14 the team split up in order
to take part in two separate track

to be highly competitive.
Among CSUSM's many performers, Denaye Lakotich soared
to an all time best height of

Cinco de M ayo Celebration Held on C ampus M ay 2 nd
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Staff Writer
For the third year in a row,
Cal State San Marcos celebrated
Cinco de Mayo. The event, however, was celebrated,on May 2
in collaboration with Associated
Students Inc., MEChA, Assistant
Dean of Students Tim Bills, and
Ballet Folkl6rico Mixtlan.
"Since Cinco de Mayo was
on a Saturday, we decided to have
the event on Wednesday so that it
would attract more students," said
Yesenia Balcazar, current dance
instructor for Ballet Folklorico.
The event attracted approximately 80 students, faculty and
staff. "It was a very colorful,
beautiful representation of the
culture," said senior Mary
Bernard.
The program included singing by El Chute, Balcazar's dad,
and her sister, Norma Balcazar.
"I have been singing professionally for five years," said Mario
Balacazar, El Chute. "I introduced my daughters to this environment when they were little.
Now I am very happy to see
them perform."
Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan, a
dance troupe, performed dances
such as La Bruja,
La Bamba from
Veracruz, and the
well known Jarabe
Tapatio, el Sol de
la Negra and Los
Machetes.

is made up of nine
members; half of
them are Cal State
San Marcos students and the other
half from the community.
A main speaker for the event
was
Ricardo
Favela, president
of MEChA. He
told his personal
story of how his
parents bought a
mariachi suit for
him when he was
in
elementary
school.
"When
Cinco de Mayo
came around they
told me to put on
the mariachi suit."
He was expected
to wear it to school
and was the only
one of his classmates who celebrated the day at his
school. "I was very
ashamed that I was
the only one . .. but
today I stand here
very proud to celebrate Cinco de
Mayo," said Favela.
Cinco de Mayo is
not Mexico's independence
day,
which is celebrated
on September 16.
"Cinco de Mayo is
a celebration of a
battle in which the
French army was
attempting
to
invade Mexico/It's
a day in which Mexicanos united
and organized to defeat the most
powerful, foreign enemy. This
is why it's such a significant date
for Mexico and for our people,"
said Favela.
"It is a very important event
to remember, being that we are
so close to Mexico. We need to
appreciate the significance that it
has to the Mexican community,"
said junior Angela Magana. "It is
also a good way to preserve culture."
Sophomore Ana Gabriela
added, "I was glad that they
clarified why we acknowledged
Cinco de Mayo. Furthermore
it is also a great cultural experience for our campus, it shows
the awareness of the struggle of
the Mexican people."

CSUSM Welcomes
New Director of
Registration & Records

New Water Tank Saves Energy
By CLAY BABER
Pride Staff Writer
While walking to your car,
you may have noticed the new
water tank being constructed
near the parking lot. According to
Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning Design and Construction, the tank is called a
"Thermal Energy Storage or TES
tank." This TES tank is designed
to hold a large capacity of chilled
water that will be used by the air
conditioning units on campus.
The construction of the TES
tank is in response to the current
energy crisis in California. "The
tank adds capacity to our cooling system; therefore, we do not
have to r^n our chillers during
the day when electricity is most
costly," said Decker.
According to Dave Dennis,
Assistant Director of Planning,
Design and Construction, "once
the tank is completed, over one
million gallons of chilled water
can be stored." This water is
chilled at night when the electricity rates are lower, thus providing an alternative to the current process of operating the
chillers during the day.
"CSUSM
has
received
$875,000 dollars from San Diego
Gas & Electric to offset the $2
million dollar construction costs
for the TES tank," said Decker.
This grant is provided because
CSUSM is taking steps to reduce
the demand for energy during the
peak mid-day hours. According
to Decker, "the remaining con-
struction costs will quickly be
made up in saved energy costs."
Decker also added, "The stored
water could also be useful in the
event of an emergency such as
an earthquake or fire."
"Construction was initially
scheduled for earlier this year,"
explained Dennis, "but the heavy
rains delayed everything for
about two months." Chicago
Bridge and Iron, of Clairemont,
began construction of the 80by 40-foot tank three weeks
ago. Foreman Paul Tackett said
that the structural work should
be completed within a week.
According to Dennis, additional
work such as insulation, piping
and painting the TES tank
pushed the projected completion
date into early August.
Enthusiasm, energy, and a
customer-service background
are key traits that Martha Ann
Haney brings to her new job
as Director of Registration and
Records. One of the main goals
in her position, Haney said, is
to serve the students.
"The school is growing so
fast and has some wonderful
goals," said Haney about her
impression of the university.
Haney added, "I'm so excited
to be a part of it." She said
her transition to CSUSM, which
began May 1, has been incredibly smooth since everyone has
been very helpful towards her.
There are nine staff members
that Haney oversees.
The New Jersey native
brings her experience in the
field of college student records
to Cal State. Haney worked as
Registrar at Marie College in
San Diego for six and . a half
years. Prior to that she worked
for three years at Coleman

has undergone training for work

SpringFest Arrives at Cal State:
Thousands Expected, Hundreds Show
By DARCY WALKER
Pride Opinion Editor
"
Cal State San Marcos hosted
their Second Annual SpringFest
on Saturday, May 5, featuring a
Caribbean carnival, live music,
a f un run for kids, and games
andfood.
Last month, a morning storm
brought hail and rain out to the
SpringFest, originally scheduled
for April 21. Last minute cancellations hurt ASFs budget for the
festival.
"Trying to be prepared, we
had [the] Facilities [department]
set up everything the night
before. We had a huge stage, a
canopy and all the bathrooms set
up already," said Brad Schmidt,
ASI's club services technician.
When rain struck, CSUSM facilities staff and ASI members
scrambled to bring the valuable
sound
equipment
indoors,
Although the total bill for rentals
and labor has not yet come in,
Schmidt said, "It was a pretty
good hit."
With a little adjustment,
including a smaller stage setup,
ASI was able to reschedule the
event, keeping the original
line-up of events nearly intact,
"We are working with student
funds, so we try to be as thrifty
as possible," Schmidt said. One
feature, the Battle of the Bands,
had to be rescheduled for May 21
because many of the performers
were unavailable on Saturday,
Probably the most anticipated
attraction was the Caribbean Carnival. The Trinidad-style carnival reenactment was researched,
produced and performed by Professor Loni Berry's theater arts
class. Groups of students wore
elaborate costumes and danced
and competed for best carnival
band. Kings and queens also
competed, with winners chosen
based on costume and performance.

The Pride
Founders of Chiapas Media Project Present Films
By NATHAN FIELDS
Pride Feature Editor
Alexandra
Halkin ajid
Francisco Vazquez, founders of
the Chiapas Media Project, presented three indigenous community-made films to a full auditorium in ACD 102 on Thursday,
May 3.
Professor Anibal YanezChavez introduced the presentation, explaining that the Chiapas
Media Project "is a bi-national,
US-Mexico partnership that provides video equipment, computers and training, enabling indigenous communities in southern
Mexico to create their own media
and tell their stories from their
own perspective."
Before and after the showing
of the three films, "Sacred Land,"
"Silence of the Zapatistas" and
"Defending the Forests," Halkin
' and Vazquez spoke on the work
of the media project that began
in 1998. The films document,
respectively, the plight of the
landless indigenous farmers in
Chiapas, the Zapatista's negotiations with the Mexican government, and deforestation in the
state of Guerrero by transnational corporations dating back
to the 1950s.
Halkin, a native of Chicago
who has a background as a
video producer, said, "We did not
create these films. These films
came directly from the indigenous communities. We only provided them the equipment and
taught them how to express themselves through it." She explained
that the idea for the project first
occurred to her when working
on a documentary in Chiapas
in 1995. Finding herself working repeatedly in areas with hundreds of news camera crews, she
noted that she "could see that
the indigenous people were very
conscious that their images were
being recorded and taken away."
"I realized that this has been
the most documented indigenous movement in the history of
the world," said Halkin, "and it
amazed me to think that these
people had no, access to the necessary equipment to tell their
own stories. And they need to tell
their own stories because we cannot just depend on white people
to go down and represent these
indigenous communities accurately."
Halkin began speaking with
numerous groups and organizations, including the US-Mexico
Fund for Culture, that supported
her first efforts for indigenous
self-representation in a 1998
media project involving youth
from Chicago, Mexico City and
Oaxaca. The project documented
14 days within the community of

Morelia, Chiapas. "The capacity
to produce videos in Morelia
empowered the indigenous community to present their own view
of themselves both nationally and
internationally," said Halkin.
Vazquez, a native of Mexico
City, met Halkin during the 1998
Chiapas Media Youth Project and
moved to Chiapas two years ago.
He explained how the process of
making the films begins and ends
within the communities' governing assemblies and mirrors the
highly democratic forms of consensus governing that Zapatista
communities are respected for.
Subject matter for the films is
generated within the assemblies
and the finished films are offered
to the communities for review
and possible alteration before
they are distributed or shown
publicly.
Singleton Bridget Jones Decides to
Take a Turn at Living Life
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
I rarely get the chance to rave
about a f ilm, primarily because
most films nowadays are just
mediocre. One thing is for certain: "Bridget Jones's Diary"
is splendid. From a fantastic
script, to impressive actors, this
film easily could have turned
into another mushy romance, but
escapes mediocrity because of
the brilliant wit that exudes from
all of the characters.
What one might notice first
abut . this spectacular film is
Renee Zellweger's stunning performance as Bridget Jones. She
not only pulls off a convincing
British accent, something that
other Americans (such as Kevin
Costner) fail at miserably, but
also her character is not perfect.
Bridget Jones smokes too much,
drinks too much and babbles
incoherently under pressure; yet,
Zellweger charms not only the
audience but also, two very attractive bachelors, played by Hugh
Grant and Colin Firth.
What is refreshing about
Grant's character, Daniel Cleaver,
is that he is a jerk. Women
always fall in love with Grant's
characters because he always
plays a sweet, lovable man. In
"Four Weddings and a Funeral,"
he played a commitment-phobic
man but managed to make the
audience love him for i t In a
reversal of emotion, in "Bridget
Jones's Diary" we easily resist
Grant's charms knowing that
he not only shies away from
commitment but also hurts our
beloved Bridget Jones.
Then there is Darcy, played
by Firth. Not unlike the hard-tolove Mr. Darcy of "Pride and
Prejudice," Mark Darcy is a
brooding, quiet man. The first
time I saw the film, I almost
wished that Cleaver would
become a nicer guy and get the
girl because Darcy just seemed
too much of a prude. The second
time I saw the film, however, I
began to fall in love with Darcy's
soft-spoken eloquence and kind
generosity that he showers onto
Bridget Jones.
Jim Broadbent plays the sad
sack dad of Bridget, and is
soon to star in the upcoming
film "Moulin Rouge." Between
Broadbent and Gemma Jones
(Jones's mother) it becomes
apparent why Bridget is so odd
yet wonderful. Both Broadbent
and Jones breathe new life into
what easily could have turned
into a generic storyline. Her parents, being Bridget's role model
for relationships, are frightening
at first, but then when they are
able to work their own problems
out, it becomes clear that, at least
in this film, love wins.
The group* including Tim
Bevan that produced "Four
Weddings and a Funeral" and
"Notting Hill," also produced
"Bridget Jones's Diary." When I
first heard that, I almost turned
away from watching this film
because I could not handle another perfect romance with Hugh
Grant as the gorgeous dream man
who elegantly stumbles over his
words. Luckily, this film shies
away from the romantic comedy
norm and embraces its own
feminist style while being a
unique version of "Pride and
Prejudice."
According to the Internet
Movie Database (IMDB), "aside
from bearing a resemblance to
Jane Austen's 'Pride and
Prejudice,' the film also features
a number of veterans of Austen
film adaptations." Screenwriter
Andrew Davies also, wrote the
screenplay for the 1995 film
"Pride and Prejudice."
Hugh Grant and Gemma
Jones both appeared in "Sense
and Sensibility." Colin Firth, who
plays Mark Darcy, played Mr.
Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice."
Also according to IMDB, in
the film "Daniel Cleaver (Grant)
and Bridget Jones (Zellweger)
work for Pemberley Press.
Pemberley is the name of
Fitzwilliam Darcy's estate in
"Pride and Prejudice."
Helen Fielding, executive
producer and co-writer of the
screenplay, also wrote the original novel about a 32-year-old
woman who discovers that being
herself—is the true path to
romance.
Vazquez continued by saying that, "These people have to
work as farmers during the day
and fit time in to create films
after their crops are tended to.
For this reason, we end up with a
self-representation which is really authentic and very unique."
Vazquez explained that the
media project was crucial
because "the way in which the
mainstream media is presenting
the lives of these people is full of
misunderstandings and lack of
information. This is because the
corporate media is not interested
in what is really happening; they
are interested in profit. That's
why it's important for the indigenous to be able to tell their
own stories, and for us to make
an equal effort in reaching audiences. Otherwise their efforts
would be useless."
"It is our duty to help get this
technology and training to these
people specifically because they
are unrepresented," said Halkin.
"In order to have real democracy and discussion in this world,
everyone has to have access to
this technology. We should all
be represented and be on a level
playing field," she continued.
The project remains financially challenged explained
Halkin, who passed around a
donation bag at the presentation
and displayed videos, indigenous
handicrafts and clothing for sale.
"I mean, no foundation will give
me funding to give cameras to
Zapatistas."
Since 1998, Halkin reports
that the Chiapas Media Project
has provided countless hours of
training, 50 digital video cameras, three VHS linear editing systems and a fully-outfitted media
center in San Cristobal de Las
Casas, Chiapas to the indigenous
peoples of Mexico.
The presentation of the
Chiapas Media Project and their
films was sponsored by
CSUSM's Center for Border and
Regional Affairs and was made
possible in part by the university's Global Affairs Committee
and the Visual and Performing
Arts Department.

What is wonderful about
films is how you can relate to
the main character. As a single
woman, this film refreshes my
spirit because Bridget Jones is
a regular person. Unlike the perfect archetypal female in most
romantic comedies, she screws
up a lot. This gives me hope that I
too can find someone like Darcy
who, after reading in Bridget's
diary that she hates him, goes
out and buys her a new diary
to start their relationship over.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is playing now in theaters and is rated
R by the MPAA for language
and some strong sexuality.
t h e Web Site
Films rarely come out these
days without some package deal.
"Bridget Jones's Diary" is no
exception.
On the official web site
at http://entertainment.msn.com/
bridget, those singletons who
cannot get enough of the movie
can enjoy trailers, sound bites,
pictures, biographies and all the
generic rubbish that goes into
a film web site. However, the
c&gwf
standard was not quite enough
for our Ms. Jones, so included in
the site are a list of quotes from
famous single women, and a
fun personality quiz that answers
"How Bridget Jones are You?"
There are also "Bridget's
Britishisms" explained, which
was quite useful since I still had
no idea what a "tarts and vicars"
party really meant after seeing
the film twice.
t h e Soundtrack
I am a soundtrack junkie. I
will buy soundtracks of films
I hate because the music is so
good, and I often make the mistake of buying a soundtrack to
a film I love, only to discover
I do not love the soundtrack.
Right after the first time I saw
the film, I bought the music. The
soundtrack is just okay. It does
have some great covers from
Sheryl Crow and others, but just
does not have the energy to keep
up with the great memory of
the hilarious film. However, it is
good music but doesn't quite capture the true essence of Bridget
Jones.

Southern
California many people participate in outdoor sports and activities. Sailing is just one of the
many sports available in San
Diego, but it is perhaps the only
place where it is possible to
compete against some of the
best sailors in the world every
week. San Diego is home to
several people who compete and
win nationally and internationally, and who regularly race the
local fleet races. Sailing is also a
sport where inexperienced sailors are always welcome, as long
as they are enthusiastic and willing to learn.
Http://sdsailing.com is the

After a long season, the men's
golf team showed some cougar
power, t he men's golf team
won the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Western Regional tournament on April 26 at the Black
Horse Golf Course in Seaside, a
54-hole event on a 6,593-yard,
72-par course.
"Last year, we won the NAIA
regional," said head golf coach
Fred Hanover, "This year, I look
for my team to play at or near
their potential."
Prior to the regional, NAIA
ranked the men's golf team sixth
in the nation. The team said
that every tournament that they
played prepared them for the
challenges and competition they
faced at the regional. Now, as
they prepare for the nationals,
they will work as a team to bring
home the trophy. "We have an
excellent chance to win, if we
play well," said Brett Dolch, who
led his team as the top individual
player (223).
Dolch, who has played golf
since he was eight years old,
came from Orange County to

of experience," said Dolch, "He
knows how we feel since he has
played the game. He continuously assists me with my mental
focus on the game."
Cougar teammate Rob
Keller, who tied for second place
(225) at the regional added,
"Coach Hanover has helped me
with my mental game and to
get focused once I'm on the golf
course." Keller started playing
golf when he was seven years
old.
When asked about the team's
expectations at the nationals,
Dolch said, "As long as my teammates and I play well, I will
be okay. For me each game is
a 'confidence builder.'" Keller
added, "I really have a good feeling about the nationals."
The players headed to the
NAIA western Regionals are:
Brett Dolch, sophomore; Rob
Keller, sophomore; Joe Rathburn, sophomore; Cory Scoggin, sophomore; and Tony Sellers, junior.

The Cougars made very good
showings the past two weeks
at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational
on April 23 and the Cal/Nevada
Invitational on the 28.
The Pomona-Pitzer began as
a cold, damp and windy day and
remained that way until the end.
Since the invitational was located
at the base of Mt. Baldy, this
was the type of weather that
the athletes said they expected.
What they didn't expect was to
do well.
Mike Shannon, with a time
of 4:01.97, and Mike Manzano,
4:09.66, both ran in the men's
1500 meter. Anthony Blacksher
ran a personal best of 14.74 in
the 110-meter hurdles and Lucy

Lanele Cox placed 11th in the

�Going to Class Is Part of College Experience
By JAYNE BRAMAN
Pride Graduate Intern
Before embracing Jeremy
Zagarella's shared experiences
in his article, "College Changes
You: Senior Experiences on
Spring Break," my educational
background in critical thinking encourages me to evaluate
statements made by Zagarella.
Z a g a r e11 a
described the performance of a tribal
ceremony in splendid
detail, but he doesn't
provide a description
of what the ceremony
symbolizes. His stated significance of "an
open social outlook on
sex and rebirth" was a
bit generic. The beauty
comes in understanding not what they do,
but why they do it. While I
also find beauty in cultural
practices between consenting
adults, I do, however, have difficulty in accepting acts of
violence against the innocent,
which in this case are the children.
As a witness to the "most
sacred" ceremony of the tribal
community, Zagarella depicts
an act where women "thrust
the infant's head down upon
the point of the rock." He credits his educational experience
at CSUSM for enlightening his
mind to be able to watch this
scene, repeated approximately
one hundred times according to
his statistics. I, however, don't
believe that I can suspend my
"insensitive American" beliefs
in human rights without more
of an understanding as to what
makes this act "sacred."
Asking me to shelve my
compassion to view this act
as beautiful is like asking
me to accept acts of mutilation or even genocide in the
name of cultural ceremony or
rites of passage. Even though
I understand the controversy
surrounding the fact that we
impose judgment on other cultures according to our standards, my experience in crit-
Through my own observations
as well as through conversations with faculty, I am struck
this semester by an alarming
absenteeism rate on this campus. I can't help but wonder,
where is it stated in the catalog,
the Bible of any college community, that attending class is
optional?
Granted, many people have
the impression that part
of the college experience does indeed
include the freedom of
knowing that if they do
not attend class, no one
is going to call their
parents. By not attending class, students miss
out on the opportunity
to experience the intellectual growth through
shared ideas.
A few weeks ago,
The Pride ran an article about
student apathy. Zagarella's article supports the idea that there
are plenty of activities oh campus for students who are willing t o get involved. Students
complain that there is not
enough to do on this campus,
and, in response, a Campus
Climate Committee has been
formed to address the needs
of the students. But, if we cannot get students to come to
campus to attend class, why do
we think students will attend
anything else? Campus events
are meant to enrich the college
experience, not be the college
experience.
So, if you complain that
you are not getting anything
out of your educational experience, perhaps you need to
examine how much you have
invested in the experience in
order to expect any returns.
"It is i n the
classroom where
intellectual growth
takes place as we
open our m inds..."
ical analysis enables me to
question the validity of such
rites.
The main point of
Zagarella's article, however, is
not lost on me. I appreciate
his sharing of what the educational experience at CSUSM
has to offer to the individual
who is willing to open his or
her mind. Since I have taken
a course with Zagarella, I am
aware that he attends classes
regularly and that he comes
prepared and willing to participate in an intellectual discussion.
As students, we can read
books on our own, but it is in
the classroom where intellectual growth takes place as we
open our minds to the opinions
of not only our instructors,
but our classmates as well.
As a graduate student, I am
fortunate .enough to be teaching while also taking courses.

Letter to the Editors
In Regards to
Student Dilemmas
Dear Editors,
We want students to know
that the University is committed to helping those who
encounter problems with campus rules and to applying
those rules fairly and humanely. When the situation warrants, we . occasionally help
students by making exceptions
to the rules. Those happy
endings, of course, don't usually make it into the newspapers.
Sometimes there are cases
that cannot be resolved to the
student's satisfaction, no matter how hard we try or how
much we are able to "bend"
the rules. The rules, after all,
are not made to get in the way
of students, but to assure that
the University stays true to
its academic mission, which
is what gives value to our
diplomas.
Although we'd like to be
able to respond fully to the
case that has been discussed
in a recent news story in The
Pride, federal privacy regulations restrain us from doing
so. We can say only that there
is more t o the story than has
been reported. Compromising
the confidence of those who
trust our commitment t o holding their privacy is not an
acceptable alternative to "correcting the record."
Thank you for your consideration.

Common Sense Is Needed: A Response to Several Problems on Campus
By Abelardo Torres
f or The Pride
In the time I've been here,
I've seen some and pardon my
French, whacked-up people who
for some unknown reason don't
realize what they have on of
their shoulders is a head and
inside that is " brain—you know,
a
the thing that helps you, oh I
dunno.. .think? And I'm not just
talking about students either, cuz
I've seen some PhD's do weird
stuff, but that's another article.
Allow me to illustrate some of
my points.
Example number 1: the
library. Any one who has been
trying to study often thinks:
"library!" So you get there and
head upstairs looking for an
empty cubicle and, depending
on the time of day and how
far along the way you are in
the semester, you eventually find
one. But it's only a matter of
minutes before you start to hear
candy wrappers, drinks being
opened and let's not forget whispers. So you pretend to cough. It
all dies down only to be resurrected by loud chewing from someone in a cubicle eating—of all
things—chips! Hello? Common
sense being used? I think not!
So after a while, the bag of
chips run out and you fall to
your knees and thank the lord.
But it's going to take more
than a prayer because there's
a group of god knows what,
friends? Classmates? Group
members? Old acquaintances,
perhaps, who have decided to
have a ^mall conference in the
quiet study area! Oh sure, there's
conference rooms on first floor
of library, but who needs that
when you can go annoy those
in the quiet study area upstairs
trying to, oh I dunno.. .study?
Here's the kicker—cell
phones! You'd think that the
library, of all places, would be a
place where you'd at least have
the brain cells to turn your
cell phone into vibrate mode (if
not o ff) or smart enough as to
put 2 and 2 together and say
uhmm... library?... uhmm.. .cell
phone. *ping!a idea* e Volume
down. But no! Some people
seem to have their cell phones
full blast, because once that thing
goes off, it scares the heck out
of not only the owner but also
the neighbors. Sometimes I think
that if they hadn't integrated
those annoying songs into the
ringers, we could probably use
one of them as the fire alarm.
But enough about library.
Let's walk around the buildings
and their doors, as well as the
hallways and stairs. In a previous
article I read something to the
effect of 'don't use the electric
handicapped door opener' And
in response I'd like to pose a
few simple questions: Have you
worked on campus? If so, have
you ever had to take a box from
your work place to your car?
Have you ever had both of your
hands busy at the same time?
Sure, there's an energy crisis and
you should save electricity but if
your hands are busy and there's
no one t o open the door for you,
then what? Stare at the door and
hope that it reads your mind and
opens by itself? C'mon!
Interestingly enough, there
are some doors that should just be
kept open all the time. Try going
from the dome to the library,
the door just before the narrow
stairs start leading down. What
the heck were they thinking by
installing a door that you pretty
much have to slam your self
against to open it? I'm surprised
a lawsuit hasn't landed on the
letsmakethisplaceahandicappedfriendly committee. I guess your
usage of common sense on this
one is a judgment call. To use
or not to use your hands: that is
the question.
Check out example number
2: Hallways and stairs. Most of
us get to our classroom a few
minutes early and in most cases
have to wait a few more for the
current class to wrap up. While
waiting we often lean against
the wall, read a newspaper, or
open a book. But some people
decide to sit (or as I've seen it,
lay down) and extend their legs
into the middle of the hallway.
You are forced to step over their
feet in a last attempt to not fall
on top of them. Then you get a tti :
tude by this individual because
they fail to get up and pull their
feet together. Most often they
call you "rude."
The most outrageous lack of
common sense is displayed on
the stairs. Perhaps you've experienced it, seen it, done it, or tried
to avoid i t It's when person X
meets person Y and they decide
to catch up on childhood memo-
ries on the stairs. Both individuals are talking and blocking traffic, and they get mad at you
for saying, "excuse me" as if
you were the one causing the
problem.
To wrap up, I'd just like to
ask that you use common sense
before you do anything. Sure, it
shouldn't be a big deal you talking on your cell phone, but it is
when you decide to use it in the
quiet study area in the library.
And of course, there's nothing
wrong with talking and catching
up with old friends you haven't
seen in the last 24 hours, don't
do it in the stairs when fellow
students need to get to classes.
And there's absolutely nothing
wrong with sitting down and
stretching your legs, it's just that
the hallway isn't the best place
for it.
^
By no means would I ask
you not to jump online, go on
a chat channel, play an online
game if you so desire but use
common sense as to not to do it
in the computers in the" library
because people might want to do
research. Just pointing out the
obvious.

I was reading reserve materials
in the library and a group was
putting up an art exhibit, hammering and making loud noises.
Shouldn't studying take priority
over art in the library? Please
limit loud activities to times
when the library is closed.
We apologize for the noisy situation you experienced. We will
work with all those installing
art exhibits in the future to ask
them to be as quiet as possible.
I think we need to find a more effective system for the media reserves
process.
We do work to encourage faculty to only put media on reserve
for as long as it is really needed. We ask that faculty do not
put media on reserve just to
hold it for an in-class showing.
Even if Media is on reserve for
one class it may be checked out
to the instructor of a different
class for an in-class showing.
Please check with the Media
Services desk if a video you
need is on reserve for a different class.
