WRITING CENTER OPENS
Faced with a menacing2,500-word, acrossthe-cuiriculum writing requirement, Cal
State San Marcos students are hard-pressed
to deal with anxiety created by term paper
assignments. To help students in the process of writing class assignments, Dr. Ken
Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing
center. The Center uses student tutors to
help decipher class writing projects.

Students to attend conference
Representing Cal State San Marcos' first
scholastic student delegation, two students have
been selected to attend EUREKA, a national
conference of undergraduate research.
At the conference, held at the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, students
from universities across the nation will share
their research projects in 18-minute oratory
presentations.
Traditionally, the conference was restricted
to research projects of technical nature, however, this year papers from the field of humanities will also be presented.
Students CynthiaChovich and Anne Radspinner were chosen by Professor Madeleine
Marshall to represent CSUSM because of research papers done for her Women's Studies
course last semester.
"Several other students did extraordinary
work as well," cited Marshall. She said that
Chovich's and Radspinner's papers were selected because of their adaptability for presentation.
For the conference, each paper must be transformed into an 18-minute oral presentation.
After each address, the students will be questioned about the subject of the presentation.
Radspinner, who wrote her paper about a
quarrel between Mary Wolstencraft and Jean
Jaques Rousseau, said she is nervous about
presenting a literary topic to academics who
have strong literary foundations. "I don't feel
that I have enough literature background to get
up and talk about it," she said.
Chovich expressed that she too was nervous
about the conference, but said she felt honored
and excited about being chosen to attend it. Her
paper deals with Delariviera Manley, an 18thcentury woman author who was known for her
bold points of view.
"(When I chose the assignment) I told Madeleine I wanted to profile a woman who was
outrageous and outspoken," said Chovich. In
the 1700s, Manley was jailed for her book, "The
New Atlantis."
She was later released after men of the time
summized that a woman was incapable of writing such controversial works.
Marshall said that both papers represented a
pioneering spirit that students have adopted in
their approaches to research papers at CSUSM.
She said that students helped each other in the
process of gathering information for the assignment
According to Marshall, the college has given
overwhelming support for the conference. She
said that founding faculty member Joan Gundersen (History) and Executive Vice President
Richard Rush were integral in the process of
entering and attending the conference.
Construction starts amid drought
L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Even though construction has begun on the
$14.3 million Craven Hall Building, campus
officials are concerned that the current drought
and budgetary problems may drown all hopes
of opening the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. campus
by the scheduled fall 1992 date.
According to Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, all of the time buffer allotted to the
project was eaten up in a 12-week construction halt, which stemmed from a dispute between former contractor Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss.
"If we experience any more delays," said
Amado, "the college will be forced to find
additional renting space for fall 1992."
Amado said that since the replacement of
Louetto by the San Marcos-based Lusardi
Construction Co., construction has moved
along at a brisk pace.
According to Amado, Lusardi met its first
deadline with the completion of pads for the
Phase I Academic Buildings and Craven Hall.
Work on the six-story centerpiece began March
4, with construction on the academic complex
buildings starting on March 5. Central plant
construction is scheduled to commence this
summer.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing campus construction is the 5-year-old drought
which is currently plaguing California.
Last Thursday, directors of the San Diego
County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would require that residents of S an Diego
County cut water usage 50 percent during the
summer.
"I have not yet been advised of water
shortages hurting construction," Amado said.
He pointed out that the decision ofwhether or
not to cut water supplies to construction
projects will come directly from the County
Water Authority.
Mark Watton, of the CWA, speculated last
Friday that, even with the series of storms
heading toward San Diego, the amount of
water added to the state's reserves would be
minimal. He said that cutbacks would be reduced by only a few percentage points even

FEE INCREASE APPROVED
In a unanimous vote by the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday ,
a proposed fee increase of 20 percent by California Governor Pete
Wilson was approved.
If Wilson's budget is implemented, the fee increase will take affect
in fall, 1991. The budget increase would raise part-time tuition by $90
per-year and full-time tuition by $154.
A ten-point plan addressing the 1991-92 CSU budget was also presented to the governor by the trustees. Due to the failure of Prop. 143 in
November, the CSU system faces a shortfall in revenues totalling $90
million.
GOVERNMENT SURVEY TABULATED
Tabulations of a survey of how a government representing the
student body should look, are now in. Of the 126 surveys received, all
but 10 supported efforts to form a student governmental organization.
The predominant model chosen by those who completed the questionnaire was a representative-type of government. This form of government received 68 responses of favorable manner, while the Presidential model got 26 and the Corporate/Municipal model registered 21
votes. Eight of those surveyed had no opinion.
The. results indicated that the Associated Students' constitution
should have an initiative process and recall provisions.
Direct election was the favored form of selection of governmental
representatives, with 87 positive responses.
Most students said they would prefer that the head of the student
government be a president rather than a chairperson of the Board or
council chair.
NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED
The CSUSM Office of Financial Aid has information and applications for the two new scholarships. Both scholarships are available for
undergraduate students at CSUSM.
The American Association of University Women is a $250award for
female juniors or seniors who are San Diego County residents and have
at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Deadline for applications is May 1,1991.
The Great Western/Rancho Pefiasquitos S cholarship is for an undergraduate Business major with a 3.0 or higher GPA. The award is for
$500 and the application deadline is June 3,1991.
In addition to the new scholarships, the Office of Financial Aid
would like to inform students that several good on-campus jobs are now
available for CSUSM students that have been awarded college workstudy.
NEWSPAPER STAFF TO ATTEND
STATEWIDE CONFERENCE
Members of the staff of Pioneer, are scheduled to attend a statewide
journalism conference in Sacramento March 21,22 and 23. The conference, held by the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA),
will be attended by representatives from 23 university newspapers
across California.
At the yearly event, delegates will attend seminars and compete in
on-site competitions. Previous issues of Pioneer have been sent for
judging, with results to be announced during the conference.
"If we receive only one award," said Larry Boisjolie, Pioneer's
Editor-in Chief, "it will be a remarkable achievement."
According to Boisjolie, the conference allows CSUSM students to
participate in an intercollegiate event for the first time.
Along with Boisjolie, Graphics Director Jonathan Young, staff
writers Debbie Duffy and Elaine Whaley, and photographer Kathy
Sullivan will partic pate in the conference.
University, local businesses
will be 'partners' in education
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
With an announcement of the
implementation of a Business Partners Program at Cal State San Marcos
last Tuesday, Business Administration Department officials introduced
a mentor program exclusive to
CSUSM.
"We believe that this program is
the first in America to take the integration of the University and the
Business Community to such lengths,"
said Bernard Hinton, Dean of Business Administration.
"Others have developed a number
ofexcellentprograms . ...The critical
difference in our program is the concept of a true partnership, a full and
total involvement of members of the
business community in the education
of today's students and tomorrow's
business managers."
As a four level plan, the Business
Partners Program would unify the
academic and business communities.
The Business Associates, Business
Partners, and Senior Business Partners programs will establish a business mentorship program, with each
program reflecting increasing levels
of company participation.
A B usiness Affiliates program will
also be implementèd forfirmswhich
lack the resources to participate in the
higher levels of personal involvement
or commitment required for the other
programs.
"The (overall) program calls for
each College of Business Administration student to be matched with a
mentor drawn from the business
community," said Hinton. "The same
student/mentor relationship will be
maintained . .. for the duration of the
Business club forming
In order to facilitate the process of locating mentors to participate in
the recently announced Business Partners Program, the CSUSM Business Students Association will hold its first meeting today at 6 p.m.
Another meeting will be held March 20 at noon.
The primary task of the BS A is to compile a pool of businesses that
would be interested in participating in the Business Partners Program,
a new program announced by the College of Business Administration
last Tuesday.
The group is being organized, under the guidance of Business Dean
Bernard Hinton, to give students the opportunity to aid in the selection
of candidates for the program.
The Business Partners Program will be implemented in fall 1991 and
requires a personal tutor for each College of Business student. CSUSM
officials estimate 400-500 students will enroll in the business program
that semester.
Times and club leaders will be chosen at the first two meetings.
student's stay at CSU, San Marcos."
Hinton said the program would be
beneficial for both students and businesses.
"As the mentoring relationship
develops, the student is expected to
become involved in resolving realworld programs . ..," Hinton said.
"We are confident that the Business Partners Program will allow us
to forge a strong link between classroom experience and business experience. It is designed to address the
needs of the business community of
San Diego and North County, to provide graduates who have a practical
business orientation, and to help students successfully launch their careers in the business world."
The Business Mentors Program
will be the first in the nation to mandate mentoring within the curriculum, rather than having it serve in an
adjunctive role in the student's education.
"While mentoring has been widely
accepted as an especially effective
way of assisting individuals in their
learning process, the idea of formal
business mentoring of all students is
one that I believe to be unique to CS U,
San Marcos," Hinton said.
Hinton said this program will be in
place by fall of 1991. With the expected enrollment at that time, the
College of Business needs 400-500
mentors to be involved with the program.
. "We are dependent upon (the
media) to help us get the word out to
our potential partners that we are
ready, willing, and able to do our part,
but they must first identify themselves," Hinton said. "They must step

�CSU Senate calls for system-wide ROTC ban
With a unanimous decision, the California
State University Academic Senate voted to urge
all 20 CSU campuses to eliminate the Reserve
Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs based
on the military's discrimination policy against
homosexuals.
In a resolution passed March 1, the CSU
Academic Senateclaimed the ROTC program's
discrimination on the basis of sexual orien tation
is a violation of basic humanrightsand inimical
to the valuesof the university, and is in violation

is that the CSU does not support groups and

If you have read the papers lately,
or even watched some television, you
may have noticed the current advertising blitz for Gyne-Lotriman. This
medication for vaginal yeast infections can now be purchased over the
counter since its approval by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
Monistat, another medication for
vaginal yeast infections, will also be
available very shortly.
These are more effective than the
currentover-the-countermedications
and previously were only available
by prescription from a physician. Both
medications are considered to be very
safe if one doesn't have an allergy or
sensitivity to them. Both have been
used for a long time and have few side
effects.
How these drugs will be used,
however, has raised concerns in the
medical community. According to the
drug companies, they are supposed to
be used by women who previously
have been diagnosed and have recurrent vaginal yeast infections.
The symptoms of the problem are
fairly straightforward: a white cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and
itching. There should not be abdominal pains, fever, urinary symptoms ar
skin lesions present
Women who have recently been
on antibiotics, who are on oral contraceptives or who are pregnant are most
likely to develop yeast infections.
Unfortunately, some women associate itching with a yeast infection
and are likely to use the medication
which could mask symptoms of more
serious infections.

Because of this, weatHealth Services advise that women who have

The ROTC program assists with the funding

"ROTC brings more educated students into

New center reduces writing anxiety
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
Faced with a menacing 2,500-word, across-thecurriculum writing requirement, Cal State San Marcos
students are hard-pressed to deal with anxiety created
by term paper assignments.
To help students. in the process of writing class
assignments, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing
center. The Center uses student tutors to help decipher
class writing projects.
"This is not a paper mill," says Mendoza. He stresses
that the objective of the Center is to help students
formulate their own ideas and not to write their papers.
The 10 student tutors working in the Center are
comprised mostly ofEnglish and Liberal Studies majors.
They meet with Mendoza on a bi-weekly basis in
seminars to learn tutoring concepts and methods of
dealing with problems. Each tutor is required to spend
a minimum of two hours per week in the Center. In return, they receive three units of class credit each.
"We've had people from eight different majors use
the Center so far," says Robin Keehn, student director
for the Writing Center.
Keehn says she has already tutored students who
had difficulty approaching research papers, poetry
interpretations, journalsand social-psychology papers.
Even though tutors will face subject matter with which
they may be unfamiliar, Keehn says tutors still can help
students formulate their own ideas.
"Tutors can help anyone get ideas for papers," she
points out. "No writer writes within a vacuum."
Tutor Elizabeth Sansom says that feedback is an
important element in the paper-writing process.
"I would not think about turning in a paper without
getting feedback first," she says.
Since its opening a month ago, the Writing Center
has increased in its popularity. Keehn says that business is expanding so quickly at the Center, that students
are advised to make appointments with tutors.
"I had to turn away three students yesterday," Keehn
said last Friday.
With the second half of the spring semester starting
after Easter, tutors anticipate an increase in students
using the Center. Since many assigned papers are due
in the final days of class, tutors expect the need for the
Writing Center to increase.
Keehn stresses that students should utilize the facilities at the Center in order for the program to continue
its operation.
"Our hope is that we will prove the worthiness of
this project," cites Keehn. "If we want to make our
program live, we need students."
Student tutor Roy Latas says that professors he has
informed about the Writing Center have expressed
enthusiasm in the concept and have openly encouraged
students to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by i t
Keehn says the Center will help students at any
stage of the paper-writing process. From die "germ of
an idea" to the final product, students need help in
approaching problems, says Keehn.
"I guarantee that if anyone brings a paper in here, the
writing will improve."

Another problem facing the budding campus is the lack of available
funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 last November, money, that would have gone
into furnishing the new buildings,
suddenly became unavailable.
"The state is currently experiencing major financial difficulties," said
Amado. " It's difficult to acquire any

Funding has already been approved

rate at which Phase II will begin is
dependent upon another source of

ROTC ban discriminates against
disadvantaged students, not gays
Exactly what is the real message the Academic Senate is
trying to send with the urging of all 20 CSU campuses to
eliminate the Reserve Officers' Training Corps from thesystem?
The Academic Senate claims the basis for such a suggestion
stems from the ROTC's refusal to accept homosexuals into its
organization. Because of the organization's bias, the Academic
Senate feels it necessary to deprive low-income citizens—who
have no prayer of raising funding for education save through the
programs ROTC offers — of higher education.
Once again the overly liberal academic community contradicts its own goals through its actions. The Academic Senate
seems more concerned with making a liberal statement than it
does with the advancement of education to as many people as
possible.
Themilitary'spolicyofnotacceptinghomosexualsamongits
ranks is a valid age-old policy that is reflective of the moral
integrity that our armed forces are supposed to represent Those
that serve in the American military should be spotless examples
of perceived social morality.
Whether we like it or not, the military is an elite, sexually
segregated club that has proven its ability to run efficiently
without the opinions of the academic community. Whether we
like it or not, it should remain as such.
Its members should be constructed of the highest moral fiber
attainable in America. Even though this goal will never be fully
met, it can be pushed along towardfruitionwith the policy of antihomosexuality.
Issues of sexuality have no place on the battlefield. If the
American military starts accepting homosexuals what will be
next? Coed bunkers? Perhaps a battalion of those who practice
bestiality will arise.
Even with this age of sexual enlightenment and tolerance,
homosexuality is still considered socially aberrant behavior. For
thisreasonwe will never have a gay President nor should we have
a gay militia.
The reason homosexuality becomes a public issue for discrimination is that liberal organizations, like the Academic

For those who cry

heaped upon
toem because of their sexuality,
we can only say, "You
should have kept it to yourself and your partner. We didn't care
to know about your sex life in the first place."
With its shunning of ROTC, the Academic Senate is drawing
attention to an issue that few of us, save the vocal out-of-thecloset homosexuals care about. As a result of its action, those
who joined ROTC to afford a quality education will be deprived.
Why should the military discriminate against a private activity like homosexuality you may ask? The answer is simple. On
the battlefield private lives temporarily cease to exist. All personal problems and abnormalities are shared with the guy in the
trench next door.
Imagine how comfortable a guy in a tank would feel when
confined with a raging queen. The last thing his uncomfortable
mind will want to do is fight the enemy.
We at Pioneer are by no means homophobic, rather we would
like to stress the point that individuals with contempt for homosexuals do exist Judging from the very goal of the military, it is
probably safe to say that more than one homophobe exists in the
armed services. The last thing our military needs is internal
conflicts between heterosexuals and gays.
So what is the Academic Senate really doing by condemning
the ROTC's age-old policy? They are simply trying to gain some
liberal ground that is currently slipping with the rise in the
conservative military's popularity.
That's a pretty sad reason for excluding the needy from
education.
Imagine a country so buried in its own garbage it pays poor
countries to take the waste off its own hands. Or a country that
actually considers sending its trash into space. Or a country
with barges piled high with trash and nowhere to go.
As we approach the 21 st anniversary of Earth Day on April
22, there is no need to
imagine such a country; it is America.
It is time to realize
that, as consumers,
we are being used in
a game for profit in
which we profit nothing. The $85 billiona-year plastics indusSTUDENT
FORUM
try has sold us the idea
that plastic is the perfect packaging; it is convenient, non-1
breakable, squeezable and disposable.
What do plastic manufacturers mean by disposable? Although the plastics industry makes huge profits, the responsibility for disposal is ours, not theirs. And the fact that unnecessary plastic packaging will not decompose for at least 400
years is alarming indeed.
Consider this: we throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles,
2.25 million disposable diapers, and 250,000 plastic pens
every hour! While the numbers themselves are staggering,
when coupled with the reality that these products will remain
in the environment longer than our cars, our homes, our
children,t)ur grandchildren and their grandchildren, we realize the plastic industry's definition of "disposable" is not ours.
Once plastic refuse enters the environment it is not stagnant; rather it is an active threat, killing one to two million
seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year. These
innocent victims unknowingly ingest or become entangled in
our disposable plastics.
According to David Laist of the Marine Mammal Commission in Washington D.C., "Plastics may be as great a source
of mortality among marine mammals as oil spills, heavy
metals or toxic materials."
While this plastic threat can float in our oceans or waterways for a long time, it also washes up on our beaches, causing
an enormous litter problem.
On a typical day at Beacon's Beach in Leucadia, I found:
plastic milk bottles, soda bottles, six-pack holders, tampon
applicators, shampoo, mustard and catsup bottles, a bandage
box, suntan lotion, motor oil and brake fluid bottles, razors,
diapers, fast food plates and cups, etc., etc.
Now we must realize that the production of this refuse is
dangerous. TheEnvironmentalProtection Agency has a list of
20 chemicals, the production of which creates the greatest
amount of hazardous waste, and five of the top six are
chemicals used most often by the plastics industry. The
production of plastic generates hazardous waste, emits toxic
chemicals into the air, while also polluting our water.
Plastics are also dangerous to incinerate because of the
toxic fumes emitted. And while some plastic can be recycled,

A T HOUGHT;
"All of us could take a
lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention to
criticism."
N .DEKALB K UWANIS B EACON
With war in the Middle East waning (for
now), the national consciousness has returned
to domestic issues. Among these issues, deterioration in world market competitiveness has
American economists and politicians looking
toward Japan, and its economic strategy, as a
possible panacea to emulate for the nation's
economic affliction.
This elixir has unhealthy side-effects and
will only put the American economy into a
coma by widening the fissure between the rich;
who are increasing in political power, and the
middle-class; who, for the first time in US
history, have a lower standard of living than
their parents and are joining the ranks of the
poor; who are increasingly growing in quantity
and decreasing in political status as evidenced,
for example, by funding cuts in medical care.
Japan's industrial targeting, through such
bodies as the Ministry of International Trade
and Industry (MITI), has set up a dichotomy of
winners and losers. Import barriers, such as on
rice, force Japanese consumers to pay more for
the grain and gives farmers there an inflated
p rofit Itiscommonfora Japanese urban middleclass family to live in an apartment of less than
1,000 square feet, pay more for food and other
goods than their American counterparts, and
deal with a bureaucracy that forces them to buy
a new car every two or three years. Does the
American public need this kind of big-brother
government intrusion into its daily lives?
Additionally, M i l l ' s development policies
have often been wrong. In the early 1950s MITI
opposed Sony's attempt to go into transistorized goods, citing that the U.S. had cornered this

of plastics produced are recycled because, according to Solana Recyclers, the only market
for recycled plastic is beverage bottles.
Because of the mounting concerns of consumers over the hazards of plastic waste, the
industry is trying to sell us their solution in the
form of "biodegradable" plastic. This may indeed pose a new problem.
Because the same chemicals are used in the
production of "biodegradables," the hazards of
manufacturing and incineration remain the same.
"Biodegradable" plastics can take months to
break down, allowing plenty of time to suffocate or entangle wildlife and marine mammals.
Smaller pieces are also easier for animals to
ingest.
What is most frightening, is the health hazards they may create when broken down. This
concerns the EPA because, when plastics disintegrate into smaller pieces, there is more surface
area exposed from which heavy-metal pigments
and other toxics could leach out into the soil.
Allen Hershkowitz, a solid waste expert with
the Natural Resources Defense Council, has yet
another worry.
"These little pieces of plastic, which are
laced with heavy metals, are small enough to be
market. In the 1970s MITI opposed Honda's
attempt to venture into automobiles.
Do we need, in the United States, a governmental agency telling us, for example, that
towns such as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Golden,
Colorado should abandon beer production because the Germans have a monopoly on the
frothy brew?
What the U.S. needs is both capital-intensive, as well as knowledge-intensive, industries
if it is to b e a world-market leader. Support for
high technology does not mean we intend to
write-off heavy industry.
What it does mean is that the United States
should be the world leader in high technology
and therefore command an advantage in international trade. We saw in the war against Iraq
how handsome the dividend is when we invest
in high technology. We will never produce all
the steel we need, but we cannot afford to be
without a capacity to produce steel, if for no
other reason than strategic defense; at the same
time it would be unwise to invest in steel given
the nature of external competition.
Proponents of the Reagan/Bush economic
doctrine contend that by stimulating the economy through tax-breaks for industry, the consumer benefits by virtue of the trickle-down
effect. Their mantra-like dogma, they preach,
will stimulate the economy through tax reductions for business.
This will, in turn, fnotivate growth in industry, giving the group more capital to spend, and
with this growth in capital spending comes the
need for more workers. More people with jobs
means more spending on goods and services
which increases demand, and with an increase
in demand there will be a need to increase
supply which brings more growth in industry.
What the consumer may lose initially is made up
for ultimately with a decrease in unemployment
and more money in his pocket to spend.
What the proponents forget is that industry,
like Machiavelli's prince, only sows the economic seeds of growth only as much as the
amount of money to be reaped. Special-interest
groups continue to place pressure on Congress
to pass legislation that will favor them; what this
means for the rest of us, is less being spent on
education, police and fire protection, and other
public services, and more money being taken
out of our pay checks in order to cover the
decrease in assets resulting from tax breaks for
those in targeted industries.
The Japanese government has shown that
large amounts of public funds, along with larger
amounts of bureaucrats, are unnecessary for an
effective industrial policy. What makes industrial policy work is the competence of those in
charge, therigorof the analysis they apply, plus
realistic expectations of the market and a philosophy that transcends the American "what
can I do to survive this financial quarter" mindset and looks instead at long-term goals.
Industrial targeting places a false emphasis
on goods that consumers may not want; this
means that industrial capacity is sacrificed. In
short, all the manure in the world doesn't help
the grass grow if the trickle of trickle-down
economics wrings the middle-class dry.
breathed through the nose and mouth into the
lungs," he said.
So what can we do to halt this threat to our
health and our environment? First, we must stop
our cycle of consumption without conscience,
and realize the choices we make affect much
more than ourselves. We must consider the
permanence of the products we choose, while
re-using these products as many times as possible.
For instance, although a disposable diaper
can only be used once, a cloth diaper can be
reused hundreds of times. This ' use it once and
throw it out' attitude must be stopped.
Every time we grocery shop we are asked,
"Paper or plastic?" Although the best answer is
to bring your own reusable canvas or mesh bag,
the second best solution is to choose paper and
use it the next time you shop. Some supermarkets even pay when you bring back your bag to
be refilled.
Before we make a purchase we should consider whether the packaging can be recycled.
Because there are many products we cannot buy
in recyclable packaging, we must join others in
pressing our state and local governments to
consider a comprehensive measure to limit or
ban the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging,
while as individuals we must follow through in
our actions by recycling everything we can.
Mandatory recycling may also be necessary
because, although we have curbside recycling
in our communities, only 50 percent of the
homes participate. Recycling is everybody's
responsibility; therefore we must educate and
encourage our families, friends, and neighbors
to recycle with 100 percent participation as our
goal.
Although it may seem we have far to go in the
eradication of plastic packaging, let us not lose
sight of the tremendous impact the actions of an
individual can have. For, if we are to make a
change before the next anniversary of Earth
Day, it will take individuals like you and me,
taking small steps toward a better world. It is
only through the collection of many small steps
that any great distance can be travelled.

These craggy hills are ideal for

Exercise caution while climbing.

Blow Sands Hill itself is a wide

Ansel Adams display both good, bad
D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER
Few people could capture the natural world around them in photographs
as did Ansel Adams. Using the lens as
apaintbrush, he meticulously reflected
the natural world around him. With a
camera Adams was truly one with
nature.
Because his works teemed with
spontaneity and beauty, however,
Adams' view of the civilized world
seemed cold and contrived.
Because of this, Adams' two photographic displays now showing at
UCSD clash with each other; one is a
perfect example of the technology at
the UC campuses, and the other clearly
depicts nature in its truest form.
Adams was commissioned by the
then UC president in 1963 to take vast
amounts of pictures of the University's campuses in California. A
sample of these photographs is on
display in, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,'
which means, "Let there be l ight"
Every photograph seems to contain
either huge, white, stark buildings,
portraits or agriculture. None of the
"familiar" Adams photographs are
even alluded to in this display.
One portrait in particular, is a perfect example of the stiffness and separateness that seems to permeate these
commissioned photographs. This
photograph is named, 'Tony Delap,
Instructor, Art Department, 1967.
UCI.'
In the picture, Delap is seen posing
and holding his glasses in his hand as
if he is ready to speak. On his face is
a pensive, yet knowing mood. In front
of Delap is a table filled with geometric shapes, and in back of him there is
an array of amateurish art pictures.
This portrait is posed, rigid and totally without imagination or creativity.
The only photographs worth seeing in the 'Fiat Lux' display are the
desert research prints and the agricultural center prints. Otherwise, do not
even bother viewing this portion of
the exhibit.
The second display, 'The Museum
Set,' which represents photographs
Adams took in 1979, is well worth the
trip to the Art Gallery. In this display,
Adams creates masterpieces out of
the nature he views through his camera.
Each print is a delight and a wonder with trees, rocks, mountains, snow,
sand, clouds, waterfalls, or people.

Regents of the University of California now have the rights to this and other Adams-signed photographs.
As the viewer approaches the second
display, a large portrait of Adams and
his camera dominates the wall. Adams
is within every single photograph of
this display.
In 'The Museum Set,' a compelling portrait is, 'Spanish American

looks off into the distance. Shrouded
in a black veil, her face, with all its
tell-tale wrinkles, is encircled and
almost protected from the world.
Behind her is a bleached, worp,
wooden column, which is a reflection
of the woman's solid, aged face.
Another of Adams' photographs
within this display is named, 'Oak
Tree. Snowstorm. Yosemite National
Park, Ca. 1948.'
Standing majestically and powerfully in the middle of the photograph
is a solid oak tree, with its branches
energetically reaching for the sky.
Delicately resting upon the branches
of the oak is peaceful snow. Behind
this great oak is a small forest, but no
tree is as powerful as the oak.
This entire photograph gives one
the feeling of solitude and peace, and

looks as if walking into it would be
like walking into heaven.
Viewing Adams' photographs is
both calming and stimulating at the
same time. If you have never seen his
works, it is worth driving to the UCSD
campus to view this wonderful man's
prints.
However, skip the technological
display, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,*
and go directly into the second display, 'The Museum Set.' There are
some superb photographs within the
second display, and Adams is at his
best in these photographs.
These two collections will be on
display at the Mandeville Gallery on
the UCSD campus through April 7.

'Fiat Lux'
collection
on UC tour
For two decades, 605 signed Ansel
Adams photographs of the campuses
andresearch centers of the University
of California lay sequestered in a
University of California archive, virtually forgotten until last year.
After they were once again brought
to life, 100 of these never-beforeexhibited prints were curated for a
traveling exhibition called, 'Ansel
Adams: Fiat Lux.' The prints will be
shown with selections from a companion exhibitentitled, 'Ansel Adams:
The Museum Set,' through April 7, in
the Mandeville Gallery of the University of California, San Diego.
'The Museum Set' is a collection
of photographs owned by Pacific
Telesis Group. Adams created this
collection to represent the scope of
his l ife's work. He produced only a
limited number in this series before
his death in 1984. PacTel acquired
this set in 1984.
The origin of the 'Fiat Lux' set
occurred in 1963, when UC president
Clark Kerr commissioned Adams to
take extensive photographs of the UC
campuses for a book that would
commemorate the university's 100th
anniversary in 1968. The photographs
were taken at the University of California's nine campuses, natural reserve systems, research stations and
agricultural units during a four-year
span.
Adams exposed more than 6,000
negatives for the 'Fiat Lux' project.
From those, he selected the images to
be produced as signed fine prints. The
project was to be called 'Fiat Lux,'
which is the UC system's Latin motto
meaning "Let There Be Light."
In conjunction with the publication of the book, Kerr had planned a
series of public and private events for
the centennial, but the tumultuous
political situation at the Berkeley
campus, where the UC president's
office was located, caused the occasion to pass with little notice. As a
result, Adams' works were placed

�'NIGHTBREED' A BARKER, BUT
Darkman' sheds light on old theme
A lot of men think that women
have no taste in movies. They are
gobbled up in the misconception that
the only movies women like are the
mushy, gooey romantic flicks.
Not me.
Whenever I pop into the local
Blockbuster Video to make a selection, I put a gag on my date and
commence with the choosing. Most
of the time my dates find that I can last
through a tape that grosses out even
the machoest of guys. But queasiness
does not a good movie make. I do
have a sense for quality control too.
Whereas guy s usually pick movies
like 'Psycho Freaks From Hell* or
'Amazon Women of Venus,' I go for
more first-rate flicks like T h e Exorcist* or 'Poltergeist.'
Unfortunately, even I screw up
once in a while. On a recent excursion
to the video store, I was lured into
picking up the worst movie of 1990; a
Clive Barker horrible mess known as
'Nightbreed.' If not for my other
movie, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman,' the
evening would have been a complete
waste.
The
worst
t hing
a bout
'Nightbreed,' is that it was allowed to
reproduce on video cassette. Before
the movie begins, author-director
Clive Barker primes viewers with a
talk of how his movie "breaks the
conventions" of the horror genre.
It sure does.
By combiningpoor acting, a Swisscheesy script and laughable special
effects, Barker gives horror-flick
conventions the finger.
In the movie, Barker creates a

into the archives in the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley.
The sequestered photographs were
tracked down only after James Harrod, manager of the UC Irvine Bookstore, became curious about the use of
several Adams' prints for a 1986 UC
publication. After he had located the
photographs at the Bancroft Library,
Harrod chaired a committee which
then selected 100 prints for an exhibition for the UC systems.
The 'Fiat L ux' collection had its
inaugural exhibition at the University
of California, Irvine, in January. Over
the next 16 months the two collections will travel to several UC campuses and to the Oakland Museum.

mythical world known as Midian,
where stupid-looking monsters live
in peace to escape the evil humans.
The movie's hero is Boone, played by
Craig Sheffer (from another turkey
'That Was Then, This Is Now') who
is convinced by the evil Dr. Decker,
David Cronenberg, that he is a crazed
serial killer.
I c an't believe that Cronenberg,
who directed such horror classics as
' Scanners,' ' Videodrome,' ' Dead
Ringers' and 'The Fly,' could act so
badly. Working, in the past, with such
polished performers as Jeff Goldblum
and Jeremy Irons, you'd think he could
have picked up acoupleof acting tips.
S heffer's love interest, played by
Anne Bobby ( 'Bom on the Fourth of
July'), is a slam in the face to womenkind. Here is a chick that makes more
stupid moves than Saddam Hussein.
Women like this in movies went out
of fashion when movies with sound

All o? this might have been excusable if one or two juicy special effects
were used to spice the film .up. Unfortunately, the creatures on screen were

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

VICE CHANCELLOR VISITS CAMPUS
In a rare visit to Cal State San Marcos, Vice Chancellor for the Cal
State system, Herbert Carter, met with students and administration on
Feb. 28.
Carter discussed the future of CSUSM with students and gave his
viewpoints on the proposed budget cuts to higher education by California Governor Pete Wilson. Carter said he understood the governor's
position and commented that "the problems with higher education were
inherited by Governor Wilson, not created by him."
Carter also discussed plans for student governance, the formation of
student activities and the quality of curriculum at CSUSM.
MAYOR NAMED BALL HONOREE
San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau has been named honoree at this
year's University Ball. The naming comes after a suggestion for his
appointment by the CSUSM Foundation.
The University Ball is the college's primary fundraiser. Tickets for
the Ball, which has enjoyed sold-out crowds in the past, are $ 125.
Thibadeau said he was "honored" by the appointment and said he felt
that he was just one of many integral persons helpful in the formation of
the university.
For the past seven years,Thibadeau was instrumental in attracting attention to the new university. As a city councilman, he was one of the
first to approach California Senator William Craven with the idea of a
North County university.
TWO CONCERT PERFORMANCES PLANNED
March marks the beginning of another series of concerts at the
CSUSM, SDSU North County Library . The series is sponsored by both
universities and admission is free to the public.
Holly Hoffman, a critically acclaimed recording artist, will bring a
unique hard-driving jazz style to the university for Women's History
Month. Hoffman's melodic renditions with the flute will be accompanied by Gunnar Biggs, on the bass, Mike Wofford, piano, and Jim Plank,
on the drums.
Hoffman will perform March 10 in the Library. The performance
begins at 7 p.m.
Raices del Ande, a music ensemble that specializes in Andean music,
will perform March 17 in the Library.
The four founding members of Raices del Ande are from Bolivia.
Donald Funes, Professor of Fine Arts at CSUSM, was the group's
director for several years and will be performing with them on their West
Coast tour.

Rains cause damage on campus
A series of storms that hit the area
last week left campus officials and
students drowning in rain-rejated
problems. *
Downpours caused the collapse of
ceilings throughout thecampus, while
flooding occurred in the student parking lot.
"Every building has roof leaks,"
said Ivalee Clark, assistant director of
Support Services. "It happens every
time it rains."
According to Clark, ceiling damage in the 800 Building was extensive. Financial Services was also
inundated with rain damage.
Campus officials pointed out that,
despite discomfort created from the
rains, instruction was not dampened.
Bookstore worker John Harris
noted flooding in one of Aztec S hops'
storage rooms. According to Harris,
damage was done to paper products
which were stored in the room.
Koll Management, thefirmwhich
oversees the building complex where
the temporary campus is located, refused comment on the flooding. An
official from Koll did say, however,
that reparations would be made when
the rains ceased.
Some students reported that tow
trucks were needed to free waterlogged cars fromfloodedareas in the
student parking lot. Service was also
needed for several cars that would not
start due to soaked distributor caps.
Those who parked on the street
adjacent to the campus also waded
through their share of problems.
CSÚSM student Judy Walters said
she had to remove a fallen tree limb
from the road in order to park her car.

said she dropped a book in a puddle

Officials speculated that the damage to ceilings occurred because of
the complex's flat-roofed construction.

"The Task Force will use it (the

Taylor, Task Force member. Taylor
said the survey would not mandate
what structure the Task Force would
choose.
"It's not a vote," she said. "It's to
get a general idea of what the students
would support.... The survey allows
us to make the correct decision. It's
more of an informative survey for
us."
Task Force member David Hammond said that by last Friday afternoon, about 90 surveys were returned;
a total of 1,000 surveys were distributed to students by professors.
"We were pleased with 90,"
Hammond said. "It shows a statistical

"Three out of the six Task Force

A decision is expected to be made
at this Friday's Task Force meeting.
The next phase is to writeaconstitution

Instructor's musical teaching theory
beats with a different global drum
LARRY
BOISJOUE/PIONEER
To Dr. Donald Funes, there is
more to music than reading notes
and studying composers. Funes, who
instructs music at Cal State San Marcos, wants to help create a Music
Department that reflects global
awareness and intra-cultural sensitivity.
"It's difficult to break the traditional molds of teaching music,"
said Funes "Programs traditionally
deal with dead, white, male composers."
Funes teaches his classes the con-!
cept of ethnomusicology, the study
of music in its social context. Funes
said that this form of music education will increase sensitivity about
women and other races. He indicated that the study ofjust classical
composers is not reflective of the
whole picture music paints.
"We need to look at music in the
context of society," he said.
Apart from teaching music of
other cultures, Funes is also active
in performing it as well. On March
17, he will be performing with Raices del Andes, a group of South
American musicians.
Funes, who was trained in classical music in Washington, became
involved with Andean music after
searchingfordifferentstylesofmusical expression.
"In the 60s I started hearing more
and more folk music. I wanted to
play in a more informal environment, so I started searching for different types of music," Funes said.
His search began in India, but
was cut short due to problems at
home. In the mid 1980s, Funes took
a sabbatical in New York to teach

Funes said that music reflects

that it is able to adapt with cultures.
In order to capture the feelings in

he likes to attend traditional festivals South American countries to

Nation now has
new heros, cause
For two decades, America has been a nation without a cause.
Following the tragedy of Vietnam and in the wake of Watergate,
a cloud ofcomplacency settled upon acountry feeling the injuries
of war and betrayal by its leaders.
For two decades, we have been a nation without heros. With
the death of Martin Luther King, Black America lost its greatest
symbol of true freedom andequality. The President of the United
States lost his leadership and became nothing less than a common
criminal to his baffled nation. Our soldiers, in fighting a socially
unpopular war, lost their dignity somewhere amidst the confusion.
PURVIEWS
P I O N E E R S T A F F E DITORIAL
Women deserve equality
In the 1970s, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment was
shot down. The rejection wasn't because it didn't receive the
amount of needed votes; it cleared the House, the Senate*
President Jimmy Carter, and 48 states had ratified the bill. This
ideal amendment failed to become a part of America's
constitution simply by missing its deadline.
Utah and North Carolina failed to cast their vote by the
scheduled date. These two states, controlled mainly by strong,
male-dominated churches, failed to add to this country's foundation of laws a revolutionary bill that would have been beneficial to the female population as well as the male.
Women in America have been lobbying and rallying for
equality among the male-founded, run, and dominated American society; a patriarchal culture has determined how this
country was molded and set. Today's culture has changed and
now women want to stand on the same platforms as their
counterparts.
This new setting is welcomed by most, and should be
allowed to evolve in a society where both sexes are equal.
What those two states failed to realize when they missed the
ratification deadline was that the Equal Rights Amendment
would also benefit men, since with equality comes mutual
responsibility.
The military is a good example for this point, a topic of high
interest today. Women would have had a kind of two-fold
equality when it comes to the battlefield.
First, a woman could fight alongside a man when defending
this country or attacking an offending army. Some consider it a
great honor to die for this country, an honor only reserved for
men. What makes a woman less suitable to fight a war? What
makes a man more superior in this area?
The second part of this equal responsibility is that women
would be forced to fight; a draft would include women as well
as men.
- ir; AaQttessOT&lfcQf shared responsibility would perhaps be
a new viewpoint of child-raising. This could have been a great
victory for the man, the parent who is usually denied the right
to raising children in the case of divorce or a split-up based on
his gender. Who determined that a man is less suitable to build
a family? What makes a woman much more superior in this
area?
Society has stereotyped the man as strong with no feelings,
a woman with feelings and no strength. People asked that to
change with the proposed amendment, and it must if the
evolution to equality is to develop.
Mythology shows the worship of a goddess, history shows
civilization with shared powers among genders; in the 70s it
was two different denominations in two distant states that felt
their religion to be sorightthat they had to keep men superior
to women. Religion should not dominate the decision making
of today and neither should men.
The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment is a scar on
America's history. Females deserve equal status, representation, and responsibility.
Keep in mind, however, the term "equality," a word the late
states might have misunderstood. The added words to the
constitution would not change America's culture to a matriarchal society, but only grant equality. This miscommunication
between countrypersons would also have corrected some reverse discrimination.
The availability for scholarships and jobs for women was
drastically low then. To correct that, a surge of needed monies
and career opportunities opened. Now getting funding for
school and finding a job is easier for a woman than for a man.
This is is a reflection of Affirmative Action. Both examples,
in attempting to correct discrimination, now discriminate against
the white man. This discrimination game would have stopped
with theEqual Rights Amendment.
J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
A country that is moved to patriotic tears and feels the
glimmer of pride glowing in its soul, is a place beyond the
memory of most of us.
For two decades we have been a nation without feeling, cause
or heros. If there is anything to be learned from the events in the
Persian Gulf, it's that America is, once again, aplaceof heros and
cause.
With General Colin Powell, Black America once again has a
prodigious model of leadership. His name has become a synonym of intelligence an integrity that we all can utter with pride.
George Bush has brought honor back to the title of President.
His calmness and steadfastness combined to reveal the Chief
Executive as a superb diplomat, while his powers as Commander-in-Chief brought strength back to the reputation of the
military.
The soldiers of the war - ourfriends,family and spouses - are
heros, not only of our hearts, but ofour souls as well. They fought
for all that the word "America" has traditionally symbolized, and
walked away victorious. To them we owe the Inflation of our
country's value.
What all these heros stand for, is the awakening of a consciousness that has laid asleep for two decades. The veterans of
our past war can now walk with dignity for all to see, while
politicians can move awayfromthe mistrusted realm of lawyers
and used-car salespeople. Black Americans can now chase their
dreams with one of many men who have dared to conquer them.
Whereas once we laughed at Bush's idea of a New World
Order, now we can join it in faith and make it our own peaceful
reality.
If all this seems overly sentimental and rhetorical, then look
at the miraculously low loss of lives our troops suffered in the
war. Even though the death of just one human being to warfare
is intolerable and grievous, the impossibly small loss of our lives
gives us physical evidence that hopes can indeed become realized.
Let us all welcome our troops back with a blaze of enlightenment and show them that they were fighting for more than oil they werefightingfor all this country stands for.
Those who bravelyriskedtheir lives for thefreedomof a tiny
chunk of the world should stand forever in our hearts as monuments against complacency. Their cause was just and they are
heros all.
It is time now for each of us to be heros on the homefront. We
should take the courage of those soldiers far away and internalize
i t Let us all f^ght peacefully for our long-lost American dream.

L ibrary needs e xpanded h ours
to complete u niversity's mission
A school's reputation is built just like a new
business: one finished product at a time. In this
regard, we are fortunate that the mission here at
Cal State San Marcos is to build "Stanford
South." We will be the benficiaries of these
commitmants.
While I am glad that the Cal State San Marcos faculty is fulfilling its promise to squeeze
everythingfromus that is possible, I fefel like a
football player starting the Superbowl without
helmet and shoulder pads: I'm playing hard, but
I am getting way too banged around.
Sure, we all knew that the entreprenuerial
venture entailed some bumps, but I - and others
- are fed up with a major campus deficiency:
adequate library access time.
In the world according to 1990 higher-education curriculum, student use of the library is
far more meaningful than just a quiet room with,

books. In fact, a legitimate argument circulates
that the library should be two seperate areas:
Circulation, for books and such, and a Computer Lab, for line time that is unaffordable at
home, and unaccordable anywhere but the
school.
So it goes that when a library closes at 4:30
7
pm, or never opens on Sunday, both resources
are denied, and the prospect of "Stanford South"
becomes a pipe dream. Ultimately, Cal State
San Marcos will default to the diploma-mill
status as frustrated students give up their ambitions to master the "A" grade.
On theother hand, action speaks louder than
words. This column will only reach a few
administrators, but your collective voice can
shake a world. The only means to extending the
library hours (and thereby providing the means
to fulfill tlte dreams) is a letter and petition
campaign.
Drop off a note at President Stacy's office
indicating that you want the library hours extended to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and
open on Sunday. Sign the petitions that are
circulating. Your slightest involvement will
contribute to the greater cause.
Cold War downfall brings uncertainty
I miss the cold war. Especially after following the most recent hot one. If war is hell, what
is a cold war? Heaven? Maybe not quite, but I
think the cold war provided all nations with
concise roles. All countries fell in one of three
categories. Either pro-west, pro-east, or Switzerland.
Everybody knew how to behave themselves
politically during those times.
For example, a country aligned with the west
would not have invaded one of the opposite
affiliation because the Soviet Union would see
the move as a direct aggression against its
interests. The USSR in turn would have to go
against the initial aggressor, which the U.S.
would see as an act against their interests. Now
we have direct clash of super powers.
But both powers had MAD (Mutual Assured
Destruction) and were wise enough to understand i t Both had to keep regional strifes in
check to guarantee their survival.
A super power invasion into territory that
was not considered crucial to the other side was
protested in the United Nations but that is were

It was always comical when a representative

side was completely out of the question.
But things are a little different now. For

Local Comedy Nite
has every element
of successful clubs
LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
With its highly conservative attitude and particularly austere
lifestyle, finding a good stage for jokes in North County can be as
difficult as finding a condom in a monastery. But Comedy Nite in
Oceanside uses just therightblend of atmosphere and talent to
make even the most prudish of San Diego audiences burst with
laughter.
'
The atmosphere at Comedy Nite contains all the traditional j tt
elements one would expect in a comedy club. The walls are
™
adorned with pictures of many of today's brightest comedians. The
stage has a traditional backdrop of bricks and is conveniently close
to die patrons for maximum performer-audience interaction.
Drinks with names like ' The Elaine 'Booz'ler," "The Yakov
Smirnoff* and the "The Pee Wee Herman" are served alongside
food items with names like "The Robin Williams" and "The
George Carlin."
But the real stars at Comedy Nite are the performers themselves.
For an entertainment club that is barely a year old, Comedy Nite
hosts a surprisingly adept scope of talent Everyone from the
emcee to the headliner on the night I attended was top-notch in the
not-so-subtle art of generating laughter.
The show on Feb. 25 began with a Mexican-American comedian from Lubbock, Texas named Raphael. As emcee, Raphael set
the tone of the show with a series of witty jokes about his heritage.
He interwove a Mexican-American perspective into a routine that
touched on everyday observances and occurrences.
The first act introduced by Raphael was Pierre, a performer
¡from Washington D.C. Pierre was by far the most disappointing
performer of the night. His downfall was not due to the lack of
snappiness in his routine, but rather from the abruptness of i t
After warming the audience up with a series of clever gags
about hitchhikers, Pierre quickly packed up his show and yielded
to the next performer, leaving the audience thirsting for more.
Having gone to the trouble of bringing Pierre in from D.C., the
least Comedy Nite could have done was give him a few more
minutes.
In stark contrast, the headliner, San Diego's own Peter Gaulke,
had too much time on die stage. Gaulke, who recently appeared on

Michael Lee stands on stage with
his dog, a golden retriever named
Troy, and launches a joke.
"Would you like to see my dog
do a trick," asks Lee.
The crowd responds with affirmative applause.
"So would I," says Lee.
Most comedians would have
trouble eliciting any kind of
laughter with this joke, but in Lee's
case it is a big success.
Michael Lee is blind, and Troy is
not only his best friend, he's his
eyes as well.
Lee represents a unique brand of
entertainer that can take a disability,
that would be a tragedy to most, and
transform it into comedy.
Apartfromcomedy, Lee hosts a
radio show for people with disabilities, gives motivational speeches
across the country and has had articles published in major magazines.
But for the 35-year-old comic,
dealing with blindness has not
always been a laughing matter.

Perseverance, nerve, humor
essential for aspiring comics y
The room is packed with a
crowd of people, many fighting
the intoxication and boredom that
seems to move in waves toward
the person on stage.
One moment the mass will be
in stitches, literally spilling their
drinks onto thefloorwith
laughter. The next moment they
turn like hungry piranhas, ready
to shred the performer with razorsharp heckles.
I stood in the back of the room
awaiting my turn, hoping
desperately that the entertainer in
front of me was worse than I
could possibly be. Before I knew
it, my name was called and it was
my turn to face theficklecrowd.
I had just entered that unique
corner of the twilight zone known
as stand-up comedy.
With three major comedy
clubs and a variety of nightspots
which feature amateur and
professional comedians, the San
Diego area is a west coast Mecca
for those wishing to delve into
the art of making people laugh.
Clubs like the Improvisation
in Pacific Beach, or the Comedy
Store in La Jolla, attract name
stars like Robin Williams or
Eddie Murphy. With a little luck,
a lot of perseverance and a hell of
a lot of nerve, almost anyone
with the ability to launch a good
yuk can make it big in the local
comedy circuit.
My experience with stand-up
comedy lasted a gruelling six
months. I travelled from nightclub to nightclub, hitting every
amateur night and hoping to walk
away with at least a tenuous
grasp on my integrity.

The steps are easy for those
wishing to score a three-minute
gig at an amateur comedy night.
First meticulously write an
entertaining routine that addresses social problems in a lighthearted and quasi-intellectual
fashion and demonstrates to the
audience that not only are you a
person of wit, but of substance as
well. Or, you can do like I did
and stoop to outright stupid
jokes.
The key to putting together a
riotous routine is integrating
yourself into the script. Find that
one thing funny about yourself whether it be your looks or your
love life - and build around it. If
there is absolutely nothing funny
about yourself, then develop an
amusing alter-ego, or schtick, and
use it to do the talking.
Since I was an employee for a
grocery störe, I incorporated my
experiences with products and
customers as a gimmick. I used
everything from plastic bags to
heads of cauliflower as props.
Be sure to incorporate canned
responses to whatever hecklers
might be in the crowd. Hecklers
do not necessarily interrupt the
performance to degrade the
comedian, sometimes their
unsolicited remarks are launched
as a crude form of compliment. If
the heckler is ignored, however,

After meticulously writing and
rewriting a routine, practice it
thoroughly until it flows from
your tongue. Do it in the bathroom, in front of the mirror, or in
the car while driving. Do it in the
living room or at work, and when
you've done it enough to where it
seems natural and free-flowing,
do it in front of a non-captive
audience.
Choose your mother in-law or
boss, or anyone else who is

say, and launch your repertoire. If

an HBO comedy special, is probably best known for his short stints
on MTV. The madcap white-gloved
hands that trounce throughout the
video network's transmissions belong to the baggy-pants funnyman
himself.
Gaulke's routine had its shining
moments, but seemed far too
drawn-out. He stretches his clothes
far better than he stretches his
routine.
What makes Gaulke such a
prized performer, is his limber use
of his hands in the "fingerman"
schtick, and the clever way in which
he manipulates his clothing. His
"torso-man" routine was the
funniest 20 seconds of the night.
But, without question, the
funniest 20 minutes of the evening
belonged to Boston comic Peter
Bermen. A former loser on 'Star
Search' and 'Remote Control,'
Bermen was a winner with the
audience.
Not only was Bermen's stock
routine well-written and masterfully
performed, his talent of improvisation was mind-boggling as well.
With effortless ease, he bent with
the crowd. His interplay with them
was quick and user-friendly.
Bermen brought daily issues,
like the war, into his routine, and
was able to joke about sex without
using profanity. Look for him to
make it big in the future.
All of the shows presented at the
club were almost television clean.
With limited use of profanity, the
performers demonstrated that laughter doesn't have to be a four-letter
word.
On a scale of one to four

Things began to change for Lee
in 1979, when he became involved
with the Better Understanding
Program, an organization which
educates children on how to deal
with disabilities. Through his
experiences, Lee was able to
communicate with the kids that all
people are disabled in some way.
"Kids talked about their own
disabilities," Lee says. They began
to recognize that wearing glasses or
being overweight was subject to the
same kinds ofridiculeas having a
disability like blindness.
Lee enjoyed the experience so
much, he began speaking to crowds
of people on a regular basis.
"When I speak, I like to invoke
emotions in the audience. If I can
get them to laugh, then I'm successful," Lee says,
Sixteen months ago, after his
wife left him, Lee decided it was
time to clean up his act and lead a
healthy life. He quit smoking and
EXPLORE 1 1
entered the Clean and Sober
program.
"After I quit smoking and
drinking, I was left with a whole lot
of time," says Lee. So he decided to
pursue his longtime ambition of
becoming a stand-up comedian.
Lee faced his fear of stage fright
and took a workshop by comedy
coach Lee Glickstein. After
observing Lee's ability of launching
a joke, Glickstein asked him to
perform in a comedy show highlighting disabled comedians.
"At first he asked me to do 10
minutes and I says I can do that.
The 10 minutes turned into 15, then
20 and finally I was asked to emcee
the show," says Lee.
The show, c alled Access to
Comedy,'featured two other
performers with disabilities. The
other performers were Benjamin
Stewart, a 29-inch tall comedian
with brittle-bone disease, and Joel
Rutledge, a legally blind comic with
a stuttering problem.
The show was covered by a local
San Francisco NBC affiliate and
footage of the show reached CNN.

show, Lee has performed at San
Francisco's oldest comedy club, the
Holy City Zoo, and has done
routines in the San Diego area at
Phil McNasty's in Escondido and
Diego's Surfside in Solana Beach.
He performs in the area when
visiting his mother in Fallbrook or
his 4-year-old daughter, Robin who
lives in North County with his exwife.
Lee travels across the country,
giving motivational speeches with .
his dog Troy. Last month alone, he
travelled to Arizona, Rhode Island,
Washington D.C. and Chicago.
"Troy loves people and travelling," says Lee. "Although he
bugs club owners because he likes
to lay in the walkways."
About 50 percent of Lee's
routines deal with blindness, while
the other half focuses on modern
issues like the war and relationships. Occasionally Lee runs across
a heckler or two when doing his
routine, but he says dealing with
them is all part of the a ct
"I've been heckled," he says.
"When you work in a place that
serves alcohol, you have to be ready
to deal with hecklers. If you let
them intimidate you, then you're
gone." *
Lee says he is a "friendly
comedian," or a performer that
doesn't pick on the audience. He
says that working with an audience
is more natural to him than putting
the crowd down.
The most rewarding experience
associated with public speaking
came for Lee one night after a
presentation. "A person came up to
me after a speech and said, 'I was
considering suicide until I heard
you,'" he says.
Lee regularly hosts a radio show
in the Bay Area called 'Comic
Minds.' The program, which is
aimed at people with disabilities,
airs, through national link-up,
across the country. On the show, he
interviews comedians and takes
calls from listeners.
Someday, Lee says he would like
to do commercials on television and
build his exposure.
"Comedy has given me confi- «¿v
dence in myself to stand up and do
things," he says.

diminishing after the first laughs
from the crowd. Once you realize
that your routine is going smoothly,
the audience becomes your friend.
The measure of the best comedians is the ability to pull the crowd
into the routine. Although in
amateur comedy , repartee with the
audience is not essential, the ability
to engage in intelligent dialogue
with them will boost your status as
an entertainer:
If all this sounds terrifying and
nerve-racking to you, then perhaps
comedy is not your bag of tricks.
But if you've got that urge to ham it
up and entertain, then there is no
thrill-seeking^experience as rewarding as stand-up.
I was lucky when I performed at
my first amateur night at the
Improv.
The performer before me - John
from New York - was so bad, that a
comedy stint from Dan Quayle
would have been welcomed.
Not all of my jokes were as
successful as I had anticipated, but
at least I was able to exit from that
little corner of hell with my.
integrity unscorched.

DEBBIE D U F F Y / P I O N E E R
Ifexcellent food, outstanding service and reasonable prices are your
criteria for good oriental dining, then
break out your chopsticks and dig in
at D' Jade Vine in San Marcos.
With a menu that includes both
familiar Chinese dishes and wonderfully different Vietnamese food, this
family-owned restaurant offers a
quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere that is sure to maximize your
dining enjoyment.
The owners of the restaurant treat
all diners as if they were houseguests.
They're not afraid to get personal
with the clientele and frequently stop
O LLEGIATE
by the tables just to engage in friendly
chit chat. Before leaving, make sure
you have a conversation with Willie,
the "owner's husband," who is a delightful conversationalist
If you like your food lively, or
prefer it tame, D' Jade Vine lets you
choose the spiciness ofyourown meal.
Diners can request hotness by using a
simple one to ten scale.
For example, if you like food to
blow your tastebuds to Saturn, choose
OURMET
a 10 in spiciness. Caution should be
used, when choosing this degree of
hotness, since oriental spices can make
your food too scathing to enjoy. Even
if you like it hot, start out with a lower
degree of heat and work your way up.
An excellent choice for an appetizer is the six homemade egg rolls for
$2.85, which are crunchy on the outside with spices, tender vegetables
and meat on the inside.
You can try capturing some of the
best main dishes of the orient for just
$3.95 to $5.50.
Their Chickcn Chop Suey (Rau
Xao), which contains large pieces of
chicken, sliced cabbage, mushrooms,
carrots, watercress, broccoli and onions, is drenched in a wonderful broth.
The Sweet and SourChicken (Mon
Chua Ngot) is absolutely mouth-watering. Crunchy on the outside, tender
and delicate on the inside, it is served
with slices of carrots, green peppers,
onions and pineapple. The sauce is
thick and honeyed and delicious.
D'Jade Vine's vegetarian selections are equally as delectable as its
other dishes. The Vegetarian Chow
Mein and Egg Foo Young are espe-
cially exquisite.
If you like unique and exotic beverages, ask Willie about the restaurant's specialty fruit drinks. Particularly notable is the Cherimoya juice.
The exotic fruit yields a drink that is
as thick as a milkshake and as sweet
as candy. If you like a little bit of
tartness to your drink, try the JackfruiL
Beer and wine arc also served for
those who like to compliment, their
food with adult beverages.
Located at 1450 W. Mission Road
in San Marcos, (down the street from
Palomar College) D'Jade Vine is not
a place where you want to chop-chop
and rush your meal. Stay awhile and
enjoy the food and atmosphere.

their works volunteered time and talent in order to show their support for
the journal. All have been published
and reflect global diversity.
Reading for the two-hour event
will be poets Steve Kowit, A1 Zolynas, James Allen, Kari Elliot, Karen
Kenyan and Diane Hill, all of which
currently reside in the San Diego area.
Hill has been published in several
poetry anthologies including the 1985
'Seacoast Poets Anthology' and a
journal entitled 'Up Against the Wall
Mother.' She is a freelance writer in
the San Diego area.
Kenyan, an instructor at SDSU
and MiraCosta College, writes both
prose >and poetry and published her
Sleeping with Enemy' a real snoozer
Julia Roberts is on a roll. Since 'Pretty Woman'
came out last year, her name has been synonymous
with box office success. As the daughter who dies in
'Steel Magnolias* or a medical student playing with
death in 'Flatliners,' she's had one hit after another.
She's also been nominated as Best Actress in this
year's Academy Awards.
And now Roberts is in a new thriller called
'Sleeping with the Enemy.' In the movie, she plays
Laura Burney, a woman married to an obsessive,
abusing man (played by Patrick Bergin).
She decides she's had enough abuse and fakes
her own death. She relocates in Iowa, takes on
another name and begins her life anew.
Her next door neighbor (Kevin Anderson) falls
for her, but she hesitates at getting involved with any
man again. Eventually, he wins her trust and she
tells him her story.
But it's only a matter of time before her husband,
Martin, figures out what Laura has done. The sus-

ofthe final
confrontation is predictable. There are no surprises here,
which is unfortunate.
The filmakers have decided to rely on tried and true
characters. The only notable exception is Anderson who
shines in what could have been an obscure role.
Still, if you have the chance, check out a truly suspenseful 'Silence of the Lambs' instead of 'Sleeping with the
Enemy.'

first book entitled 'Sunshower* in
1981. The story of her child with
Down's Syndrome led her to writing.
Elliot is a poet from Norway who
currently teaches at National U n i v e r v
sity in Vista.
The winner of two Hopwood
awards for his poetry, Allen has published several poetry collections including, 'See the Lighthouse Burning* and 'Beggars Could Write.'
Zolynas is an Austrian born poet
who has travelled the world in search
of a home: He teaches at USIU in San
Diego, and has published a collection
called 'The New Physics.'
Kowit teaches at Southwestern
College and has published a collect
tion called, 'The Maverick Poets.'
John said she received "enthusiastic" cooperation from CSUSM, particularly from Dr. Ken Mendoza of
the English Department, who will
emcee the event. She enlisted the help
of student Tanis Brown to acquire the
free use of a room at the Joslyn Center, 111 Richmar Rd. in San Marcos.
Currently, the journal has received
over 60 submissions, but has no resources to fund the $1,500 project.
Even though admission to the reading
is free, John said she hopes viewers
will be inspired to give donations for
the cause.
The presentation will begin at 4
p.m. on March 17. There will be an
. intermission in the show and refreshments can be purchased. Admission
is free.

Major medical center planned
J ONATHAN. YOUNG/PIONEER
Scripps Memorial Hospitals is currently negotiating^ to purchase at
least two parcels to secure land needed to construct a major medical
complex near the permanent campus site of Cal State San Marcos.
Scripps Memorial closed escrow in September on 4.5 acres, making it
thé second parcel of property acquired this year.. The recentparcel, located
near the corner of Echo Lane and Discovery Street, was acquired from
A.B. Farm, Inc.
The vacant tractis contiguous with the 31.5 acres purchased by Scripps
Memorial from Golden Net Worth and other parties last June. Long-term
plans call for the medical center to comprise 60 to 70 acres.
Plans for the site include the construction of a major inpatient and
outpatient medical center to meet the medical and health care needs of San
Diego's growing North County area.
Although Cal State San Marcos has not been approached,a spokesman
for Scripps Memorial said a relationship between the new neighbors
could be a possibility.
"... we definitely feel that the university in the community will be an
asset," said Michael Dabney, Coordinator o f Media Relations. "I'm sure
that will be discussed at a later date. Right now the priority is to get the
specifications confirmed with the city."
"Our relationship with the city of San Marcos on this matter has been
positive from the start, and we look forward to the continuance of this
relationship as we go about meeting the medical needs of the community," said Lauren Blagg, executive vice president of Scripps Memorial
Hospitals.
Although details for the medical complex have not yet been finalized,
the first phase of the project, the construction of an outpatient facility and
medical offices, could begin by next year. The second phase, the construction of a hospital, could be the year after next.
"Scripps Memorial is evaluating specific health care needs of the
citizens of the San Marcos area in order to provide therightcombination
if services," said Blagg, adding that the building plan is expected to be
carrier out in phases aver 20 to 25 years depending on community need.
"It would be a outpatient and inpatient treatment facility," said
Dabney. "A research facility is not in the picture at this time.
"Down the road there will be other options on what we can do with the
facility. Right now we're shooting for 60 to 70 acres. So we're leavingour
options open for that development.
"As we develop the project further, (a relationship with Cal S tate San
Marcos) is certainly an option for discussion," Dabney said.
In August, 1987, Scripps Memorial exercised its option to purchase 70
acres of property in Carlsbad for a North County hospital. Scripps
Memorial has reassessed its plans, however, and detennined that the San
Marcos site offers more effective opportunities.

Holiday gift drive begins
Christmas. For most of the community it is a time for giving and
sharing, joy and caring. But for some,
the holiday season brings sorrow and
depression.
Recognizing the needs of those in
the area that have no money to afford
a holiday celebration, officials at Cal
State San Marcos and San Diego State
North County have started a food and
gift drive. Proceeds from the drive
will go to needy families in the San
Marcos area.
"Maybe (the drive) will give them
the idea that the university is not foreign," said Sandra Punch, Coordinator of Student Services at CSUSM
and SDSU North County. "The drive
reaches out to the community and not
just those who are college bound."
Punch said the drive started out as
"just an idea" four years ago. "As
time went on we tried to make it a
viable project," Punch said.
Together with Janice Sinclair, in
Student Services, and Deborah Coronado, in Personnel Services, Punch is
setting up gift-wrapped donation
boxes throughout campus where students, faculty and administration can
deposit nonperishable food and gifts.
Boxes will be placed in the Student Lounge, the Student Services
Building, Building 125, Building 820
and the Library. Cash donations can
be brought to brought to Punch, Sinclair or Coronado.
Punch said the group is looking for
those who have no avenues for help
during the holiday season. Those who
are unaware of the programs offered
by the state for help or are too proud
to take advantage Of them are prime
candidates f or,
donations.
The family
chosen last
year had lost
their eldest
son in Mexico.
The
niother and
father had
both been laid
off from their
HAPPENINGS jobs and all
their available income was spent transporting the son's body back home.
The family was in need of a working
stove and the children had no chance
of getting gifts for Christmas.
As a result of the drive, enough
money was raised to buy the family a
brand new stove. The family was also
given a swing set, a 10-speed bicycle,
Barbie dolls, food and clothing—all
of which was donated by participants
in the drive.
'The families are surprised because
they expect less than they get," said
Punch.
Do to the growing success of the
program, Punch said more families
will be chosen to receive gifts this
year than before.
Needy families are found through
HOLIDAY
local churches and schools. "We go to
schools where they see what families
have need." Punch said that, through
daily interactions, schools have personal contact with those in need.
Once prospective families-have
been found, Punch contacts them on
the telephone to see if they would be
interested in receiving a donation.
"We leave it up to the family," said
Punch. "We've never been turned
down y et"
The names and locations of the
family are kept confidential. Information about what they need is posted
on the donation boxes to help donors
select the most needed gifts.
Apart from nonperishable foods,
Punch said soaps, detergents, paper
products and clothing also make good
gifts. "It's a good time of the year to
fcl£ar out pour closets. Jeans jackets
and sticks are much needed items,"
she said.
In addition to the gift drive, Punch
said she is also looking for Christmas
tree donors.
On Nov. 30 a tree decorating party
will be held in the Student Lounge.
Students can bring ornaments to place
on the trees. The decorated trees will
be transported to needy families who
otherwise would not have a tree.
"During the holidays it's buy, buy,
buy for family and friends," said
Punch. "It's a good time to think of
families and children who need
things."

Trying to gain an education can be
a frustrating and difficult experience.
Those in Charolette Bell's Students at
Risk: Psychological and Educational
Perspectives class see just how difficult learning can be.
For her class, Bell requires that
students spend a minimum of three
hours per week helping troubled children transcend their problems and
turn toward education.

Some students work* with kids on
drugs or children of alcoholic families; others help those with learning
disabilities. Anita Carter helps pregnant teens and young mothers learn
how to get the most of their education
while tending to a new life.
"The group I chose are teenage
moms who may not complete their

finish high school through independent study."
For three day? a week, Carter
spends timeat Foothills Continuation
School in San Marcos. She works
.with young womenfrom15-18 years
of age who have children or are expecting.
Carter selected this group of students because she, like many of her
students, is expecting a child.
With the help of Janet Stoddard,
who heads the program at Foothill,
Carter hopes to create an environment that is conducive for study for
the young mothers.
"The fact that I'm pregnant brings

my baby," Carter says.
She points out that many of the
students have added incentive to
complete their education because they
"have another mouth to feed."
To bring the students role models,
Carter has organized a "shadow day"
where women holding profes3ional
occupations lead the young mothers

found professionals such as bankers
and attorneys to take on the kic(s for a
day.
On Dec. 10, these professionals
will take the teens to their businesses
to see what a life nurtured by education can bring.
Carter found most of the sponsors
through referrals from other businesspeople. She said when she tried

"The work done by the Clubs and Organizations Subcommittee will
probably be among the most unappreciated, but most vital," Zomalt
said.
Throughout the semester, the task force has developed an outline describing elements necessary forla student handbook. The handbook will
present codes of action and conduct for students at CSUSM to follow.
The subcommittee divided its general statements and definitions outline into three parts.
The first part is an overview of activities and services that will be
available for students in the coming years.
It includes the advantages of being a Chartered Campus Organization
and it will describe how student fees and activities will be implemented.
In the second part of the handbook, campus policies and regulations
will be put forth.
Students will have policies regarding drugs, gambling harassment
and abusive behavior among others that will affect the entire student
population.
"The work this task force does will concern all student organizations,"
Zomalt said.
The third part will deal with the implementation of student discipline.
Student policies on academic dishonesty, grade policies and disciplinary matters will be threshed out for the general population.
According to Zomalt, the group found the work load to be far greater
than originally anticipated. They sent for policies from other universities to aid them in developing a sophisticated, yet readable student
handbook. The stack of documents they collected grew to about six
inches tall.
Zomalt said the outline represents a significant amount of work by the
task force. In order to draft policies from the general structure that was
created, the subcommittee must delve deeply into the policies of other
state universities.
"It turned out to be a much greater task than we originally thought,"
Zomalt said.

Quotations on war

in Mid East crisis
Squinting in to the sunseton Highway 78 last week, I caught
the end of a radio monologue on quotations. The slightly perturbed male voice was mentioning the most misquoted quote of
all time.
With jingoistic rhetoricfromWashington and Baghdad currently burning a hole the size of Kuwait in the ozone layer, the
speaker was nothing, if not timely. The quote he mentioned was

*If right, to keep
it right; if wrong, to put it right" ^
I suddenly wondered how many people had died because they
had blindly lived by a misquotation, and more importantly, how
many young men and woman may soon be sent home in zip-lock
bags because of continued ignorance of the proper form of the
quotation?
When I got home, I tried to find out who had originally spoken
these oft misquoted words. I was unsuccessful, but I did come
across a number of others I'd like to share. I hope you find these
words as pertinent today as they must have been when originally
spoken.

State universities should ax
lower-division curriculum
The higher education system in California is
monumental to a democratic society's commitment to education. It is certainly one of the most
influential institutions in the world.
The Master Plan for California collegiate
education spells out a huge network of junior
colleges, state universities, and the University
of California (UC). Each division is distinguished by their place on the spectrum from
teaching school to research institute.
More specifically, the UC system is to nearly
monopolize academic research, the community
colleges are dedicated to broad student services,
and the state universities are expected to walk a
.middle road combining these contrary features.
It is time to revisit the state university's mandate
to examine if this contradiction in purpose is
still plausible.
Clearly, the state university circuit is the least
precisely defined in mission. By nature it is
distinguished from the junior college as baccalaureate and master degree-granting institutions,
so most of the faculty are doctors (PhD). Community colleges issue only the perfunctory associate degree, and master degree holders
dominate the faculty.
Similarly, the state university is not like the
University of California. It is not designed or
equipped to be a research institute on that scale.
Research is so heartily persued at UC, it is not
unusual for the undergraduate to be taught several courses by a professor's assistant, thereby
freeing up the scholar for the lab or library.
On the other hand, the pressure on state university professors to "stay current in their field's
literature" (meaning publish or perish) is in-
DAVID HAMMOND
PIONEER OPINION
EDITOR
tense, as in the UC. Likewise, the demands to
retain students, serve the community, and teach
well, virtually duplicates the visibility of a
community college professor.
Evidently, the missions of the state university
are mutually exclusive in their current formulation. In order to abilitate the state universities to
meet all of our expectations, it may be time to
shuffle the assignments of services. It is an era
demanding a greater degree of specialty by each
division of California's higher education network.
The arguments for relinquishing lower division courses at state universities, and thereby
making them the privy of the community colleges, are convincing. The junior college provides better services to the student just entering
the foray, while the state university best hosts
the upper classperson who is prepared for a
more mature and challenging academic environment.
Specifically, the junior college can concentrate on those services most needed by the
freshperson: study-skills, academic and career
counseling, and vocational skills. It is an excellent time for the high-school graduate to discover and master the complexities of higher
academia. At the same time, the re-entering
student in his/her late twenties is invited to
sample courses and brush-up on contemporaneous thinking.
For both groups, the stage is embryonic due to
the faculty's emphasis on teaching and counseling, rather than obscure research. The state
university, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for the seasoned pupil to stretch both
mental capacity and ability.
By freeing the state university professor from
theduldrumsof lower-division instruction,more
energy can be dedicated to academic research.
Since teaching would be focused on upperdivision courses, which tend to be more specialized, and less remedial, it is likely that more of
the research can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this scenario, both the student and
the teacher are beneficiaries.
Finally, the state's higher education system
will also be a benefactor in the coming age of
specialization. There is an economics-of-scale
that intuitively dictates that one institution cannot
"do it all."
By recognizing the distinctive qualities of
lower and upper division students, the menu of
services can be tuned to each population1 s needs
with less duplication of expenses. That's good
news at a time of multi-billion dollar deficits.
Likewise, a less burdened state university professor, given a real chance to meet publication
pressure, is a greater asset to everyone.

Hart, the son of the founder, Travis
Hart
In 1973 Travis (Joe) Hart, a Physical Oceanographer at Scripps Institute, purchased 12 acres. Over the
next several years he and his family
planted the acreage with Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot Grapes. In 1980
he bottled his first 350 cases of wine.
Today the winery is buying local
grapes and is bottling 6,500 cases.
The Hart winery is open Saturdays
for tasting from 11 to 4. Its wines
include mostly dry white wines with a
few sweater varieties. The prices run
$6.50 for a bottle of Chenin Blanc to
$12 for their Merlot. Be sure to try
their Chardonnay!
Traveling east on Rancho California Rd. I drove by several elegant
Mediterranean-sty lebuildings. Thinking it was an exclusive country club I
actually passed the entrance when it
dawned on me that Culbertson was a
name of a wine.
To my joy this cosmopolitan winery made only champagnes. They
charge $5.00 a person to sample three
champagnes: Cuvee Rouge (a sparkling red Pinot Noir), Cuvée de Frontignan (an sparkling blend of Muscat
and Pinot Blanc) and NV Brut (a
classic brut Champagne).
The John Culbertson Winery is
located on 20 acres of vineyard. Tours
are available every two hoursfrom10
to 4 on Sat and Sun. (for the next five
weeks tours will be closed on Sat.
because of production). The Café
Champagne is a gourmet cafe designed to complement the famous
Culbertson Champagnes. The tasting
room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.
In 1988,twoofCulbertson'schampagnes were served at the inaugural
ball for President Bush and it has been
chosen to be the champagne of the
1991 Super Bowl. The gift shop has a
variety of 12 different champagnes
and some interesting and unusual gift
ideas.
Almost across the street from
Culbertson Winery is the Callaway
Winery. Callaway is the largest winery, bottling 280,000 cases of white
wine a year. The original vineyard
was started by Ely Callaway in 1969
on 105 acres. In 1982 Hiram t alker

Blanc De Blanc
Made with Chardonnay grapes, this
wine has a dry, plean bouquet.
Bianc De Blancs have higher yeast
contact than other whites so have a
slightly "yeasty" flavor. It is best
served as an aperitif.
Chardonnay
A rich, full-flavored white wine
with subtle apple undertones.
Chardonnays are quite dry and
good with fish and veal.
Fumé Blanc
Chenin Blanc
The Chenin Blanc grapes give this
versatile white wine a clean and
refreshing flavor. It is excellent with
cheeses, veal or poultry.
White Riesling
Floral aromas and natural sweetness give this wine a remarkably
drinkable characteristic. Wine
aficionados and laymen alike will
love this vintage with fruits, picnics
and spicy dishes.
Carmine
Made with Sauvignon Blanc
grapes, this wine is very dry with a
subtle, complexity and richness
ideal for grilled seafood and
entrées in herb or cream sauces.
Fumé Blancs are aged in oak
barrels rather than steel tanks.
A deep red wine with a rich ruby
color, this vintage is scented with a
black cherry and berry aroma. A
very sweet and drinkable wine that
is great with beef or heavy dishes.
Sauvignon Blanc
This deep red wine has a slight
peppery flavor that softens with
aging. It is a full-bodied varietal that
is great with steaks or Italian food.
This very dry white wine is
perfect for fish and poultry or as an
aperitif. It is slowly fermented in
stainless^steel tanks to give
it a soft, fruity flavor.

Just down Rancho California Rd.
is Mount Palomar Winery. This winery is tucked among the grape vines
and nestled under California Oaks.
Their idyllic setting is enhanced by
the charming family atmosphere.
MountPalomar Winery was started
by John Poole in 1969 on 225 acres.
He retired from KBIG radio station,
which he founded, on Catalina Island.
Mr. Poole brought vintner Joe Cherpin from Cucamunga Valley, to design the winery and lay out the grape
fields.
In 1975, MountPalomar produced
its first bottles of commercial wine. It
now bottles 15,000 cases with hopes
of expanding to 25,000 cases in the
near future. In 1993 the winery plans
to premier its first red wine,
SangioiieseRed.
"It's a nice way to spend a weekend: drinking MountPalomar Champagne, eating fine cheese, good bread
and smoked oysters," said Dale
Bergeron, a visitor from El Toro. The
winery provides a picnic area among
the Oaks for the leisurely sipping of
its fine wines.
The winery is still family owned,
with Peter and Bridget Poole making
most of the decisions/ This family
atmosphere radiates throughout the
winery.
Mount Palomar Winery is open
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for tours
and tasting. The gift shop has some
lovely gift ideas. The tasting is free
except for the Chardonnay, which
costs 25 centsa taste. I really likedthe
Chardonnay, it,s well worth the quarter tasting fee!
A little farther east on Rancho
California Rd. lies Maurice Carrie
Winery. Iwas immediately impressed
with the French, New Orleans style
architecture, with rose-lined paths,
and a dixieland band playing in the
gazebo.
The inside of the winery emanated
a cozy-friendly mood. The servers

built the beautiful winery and tasting

Tasting at Maurice Carrie Winery
is free and fun. The servers are relaxed and helpful. The hours are from
9:30 a.m. tq 5 p.m. daily. The pçices
are reasonable, ranging from $4.95
for Champagne-Maurice Carrie (also
known as Buddy 's Bubbles) to $9.95
for Summer's End 1987, a late harvest Riesling.
The real thrill in wine tasting is not
in the getting intoxicated, but in having a relaxing journey of discovery.

onto old cuttings brought from France
years ago. These older plants produce
a desired grape, bred for centuries by
winemakers to yield the best tasting
wines. By grafting the newer vines to
the old root stocks, growers are able
to add longevity to the vine stock.
Natural grass and weeds are allowed to thrive between the vines to
bring beneficial insects to eat those
that chew away at grapes and their
leaves.
The Callaway vineyard has built
roosts for hawks and owls on their
vine structures to curb the rodent
population and the winery breeds
wasps to further eliminate pests.
This natural approach to pest control works amazingly well. In its 21year existence, the vineyard has used
pesticides only three times, and then
only during periods that would not
harm the grapes.
Strict ordinances, regulating the
usage of pesticides, protect all the
local vineyards from inadvertent
contamination.
At Callaway, the vines are grown
42 inches above the ground to facilitate grape gathering for workers. The
vineyard also found that jthis height,
10 inches higher than at other wineries, provided better air circulation

fruit
To conserve water, Callaway uses
drip spigots to nourish the plants. The
spigots also prevent the roots of the
vinesfromrotting and mildewing.

The grapes are transported to a

grapes to liquid and pulp in six minutes. The juice is drained off and the
rest (twigs, leaves and grape pulp) is

the product in oak barrels. Callaway
has 360 of the barrels, which hold a
total of 10,000 gallons of wine.
BarrelsfromFrance, costing $420
each, are used rather than American
barrels because they produce a better
flavor. American barrels give a cedar
flavor to the wine. The age of the
barrel also contributes to the taste.
Vintages aged in year-old barrels, for
instance, will have a stronger flavor
than those aged infive-year-oldbarrels.
The wine is then ready to be bottled
and sent to distributors.
Other local wineries use similar
processes but on a much smaller scale.
The John Piconi Winery , just east of
Callaway vineyards, produces only
6,000 cases of wine each year.

�WINE COUNTRY
A guide to the wineries
in the Temecula Valley
Taking a drive through Temecula
Valley, one gets the feeling that a small
slice of France's wine country has been
transported to California. Here serene
rolling hills are covered with grape vines
and dotted with European-style wineries.
The wineries offer wine tasting and a
chance to meet new people. In the sky, hot
air balloons float lazily over the calm countryside.
The best part about the wineries is their
accessibility to the general population. At
only 35 minutes from San Diego County,
the wineries make for an affordable and
relaxing getaway.
All 11 wineries in the Temecula Valley
are clustered east of Interstate 15 and have
a microclimate that is warmed in the day by
desert winds and cooled at night with ocean
breezes filtered in through the Rainbow
Gap, a natural breezeway through the hills..
The Hart Winery, located at 32580
Rancho California Road, is contained in a
quaint reddish barn-like building that has a
slight European flair. Owner Joe Hart is a
veteran among local vintners who specializes in making dry wines and a few slightly
sweeter selections.

Journal may become literal reality
T o be o r not to be? That is the question being asked by a group o f Cal
State San Marcos students and faculty wishing to create a literary journal
for the university.
The project, spearheaded by English major Regina John, would
create a magazine comprised o f short stories, poems, photographs and
artwork by CSUSM students. John said the thrill o f having o ne's own
original works published has inspired her to create ajournal for CSUSM.
"I was first published in the journal Tide pools a tMiraCosta College,"
John said. " I thought we needed to start things here."
Already, with the help o f English Professors Pat Boni and James
Mack, John has informally compiled a list o f about a dozen students for
the project. According to Mack and Boni, other students not on the list
expressed interest in the publication.
Six members o f the group, comprised principally o f English majors,
held their first meeting Wednesday a t B oni's home to discuss plans on
how to make the journal a reality.
" I had a feeling there was a lot o f positive energy about this project,"
said Mack about the meeting. " It will definitely be a focal-point for
English and Humanities majors."·
English major Jennifer Eagle, who attended the meeting, said the informal gathering helped to affirm the goals o f the journal.
"This is not just a mere fantasy. W e're determined to make it a reality," Eagle said. Eagle indicated that she would like to submit a short
story to the journal.
Other students who were notable to attend the meeting expressed enthusiasm for the project.
Elaine Whaley, who is majoring in English, said she hopes to submit
1990-91
budget
examined
A projected operating cost o f $ 10
million and an adjusted budget o f
$8.8 million, has left CSUSM officials pondering how they are going to
reducetheresulting$1,231, 783 shortfall in the 1990-91 general budget.
A t the September 13 University
Council meeting, a proposed spendingreduction package was presented.
$454, 681, being spent o n p art-time
faculty salaries, library books and
faculty work stations, will b e transfered from the general budget to the
Lottery a ccount Another $372, 086
in expenditures for computers, furniture, and library shelving and books
will be transfered to a different fund.
T he largest group o f reductions
will c ome from cuts in the public .
relations and institutional research dir ectors's spring budgets, shrinking
spring funding o f part-time faculty
positions, and absorbing cost associated with the science lab.
T he n et effect o f the cost saving
measure will leave the campuswith a
cushion o f $ 17, 127.
written works as well as participate in the editing process o f the journal.
Whaley helped to edit a journal published by Seattle's Shoreline Community College.
Submissions for the journal will be chosen by students in regards to content alone and will not be judged in regards to the contributor's name or
previous publishing experience. Authors' names will be separated from
the works during the selection process.
Even though student enthusiasm about the project has been high, John
said she is still unsure o f where funding for the journal will come. To help
get advice for the funding o f the project, John will meet with the CSUSM's
President, Bill Stacy, tomorrow.
Professor Boni said they will not discount the option o f selling th e
journal.
At the next meeting o f the group, scheduled for Sept. 24, members of
an editorial board are expected to be selected during the gathering.
" What we need is a board where integrity is maintained. W e must keep
our intellectual and moral integrity in regards to works chosen for th e
journal," said Boni.
Mack said the group decided at Wednesday's meeting to democratical! y make decisions regarding the publication. He said the journal should
make an important external statement o f what is occurring on the campus.
"All English instructors should want to get a finger in the pie," he said.
A name for the journal has not yet been decided, but participants want
it to reflect the theme o f ' a new beginning.'
Boni said the group has high expectations for the journal's quality.
" We would love our journal to be the best in the country," said Boni.
"Nobody sets up by saying, ' We want a mediocre journal."'

S tudent government forums
scheduled; task force initiated
In an effort to build a student government at Cal State San Marcos, two
open forums, providing information
for government-interested students,
are scheduled to air concepts and begin
painting a picture o f how student representation will look in the months to
come.
" It's important to mold a student
government to m eet the needs o f the
CSUSM campus," said Sandra Kuchler, the assistant dean o f student affairs who is helping to organize the
forums.
Kuchler said that since rapid growth
is scheduled for CSUSM USM, it is important to create a student government
that can grow with the college.
To help facilitate the process o f
forming a body o f student representation, CSUSM President Bill Stacy is
organizing a S tudent Government
Task Force to develop plans and review options for the fall term.
Dean o f S tudent Services Ernest
Zomalt was asked by Stacy to chair
the task force. Zomalt and Sociology
Professor Therese Baker will nominate two faculty members to serve on
the task force.
The forums, scheduled Sept. 27 at
noon and 7 p.m. in Room 9 Building
145, will provide students with additional information regarding the structure o f the task force, its meeting
times, calendar o f activities and reporting deadlines.
"The forum will serve as a general
explanation o f what is going on,"
Kuchler said.
According to Kuchler, interested
students can serve on committees to
aid the task force in their mission.
In order to solicit student involvement, a survey for students has been
sent through the mail. With this survey, students can indicate committees in which they are interested.
Student committees include:
Associated student government
Clubs and organizations
Student regulations
Student newspaper
CSUSM yearbook
Committee to develop a campus
community statement
Academic senate committees
A brief statement describing experience, attributes and interests is required with the survey.
According to Kuchler, student recommendations will be made from
information gathered in the survey.
" We want to look at different kinds
o f governmental bodies," said Kuchler. "Perhaps we will have subcommittees to brain storm ideas.
Kuchler said student initiative in
forming a student government has
been good. She said about 30 students
responded to a student government
survey distributed at orientation.

Vanguard class

Academic community hasty
in endowment fund criticism
One who criticizes just to criticize is a moron. An educated
person who criticizes without reading up on the issue at hand is
an oxymoron.
Recently, California State University, San Marcos received
its first bit o f academic criticism with the news o f a quartermillion-dollar endowment which would have created a new
chairperson for geology.
Criticism revolved around conditions for the endowment set
forth by its donor Allan Kelly, o f Carlsbad. The endowment
carried the stipulation that any professor filling the chair must
study and report upon the truth or falsity o f K elly's controversial
theory o f impact geology (a theory that claims many o f e arth's
geological formations were created by large meteors).
The academic community protested, claiming the conditions
violated academic freedom and would tum the newly-formed
umversity into a laughing stock.
CSUSM's President Bill Stacy responded by putting an
immediate end to the endowment offer. In the course o f o ne short
press conference the issue ceased to exist.
Some might assume that Stacy was being tooprotectiveofhis
infant university by cutting the generousendowmentoffer, but at
this early stage o f development, CSUSM needs all the common
sense and care it can get. Stacy acted responsibly and with all the
proper instincts o f a wise p arent
By rejecting the endowment, Stacy prevented controversy,
calmed academic uproar and preserved the college's initial
image o f squeaky-cleanness.
Whereas Stacy's quick action is to be admired, the quick
criticism by the academic community is to b e deplored.
Few o f the professors that came forward in the revealing L os
Angeles Times article had actually read the conditions o f the
endowment. They assumed that CSUSM would become a research pawn for Kelly's unusual theory.
STAFF EDITORIAL
T hey, o f
c ourse, d id
n ot r ealize
that CSUSM
was not obligated to produce
e vidence s up-
porting
K elly's theory. CSUSM would have only been obliged to s et aside a small
portion o f time to examine the probability o f the theory and report
upon its findings- positive or negative.
Kelly, who has committed much o f his life to his theory o f
impact geology, simply wanted proper research performed on his
ideas. Because he is not a "scientist" or a "scholar," getting a
major university to research his theory has been next to impossible. Giving a new university funding to research his ideas was
a great way to have his ideas scientifically explored and to help
the community as w ell
Stacy saw a wonderful opportunity to help his university to
grow. With the geology chair that the Kelly endowment would
have created, Stacy would have been one quick step closer to
CSUSM'ss maturity. He saw the vision o f a new department, more
d· versity in the university's educational offerings and a closertie
i
to the community through the donation.
In time faculty approval may not have been forthcoming and
the whole endowment issue would have been ended anyway, but
nobody will ever know.
All that is known is that members o f San Diego's intellectual
community struck a blow to education without knowing for what
they were fighting. Such actions are expected o f morons but not
educated men.
Constructive historical significance is the aspiration of
anyone seeking greatness.
T oday's world is so busy with important events, it may
seem impossible to plot for relevance: communism and th e
Berlin Wall are falling; the superpowers are quasi-allies; and
a c ontemporary Hitler is trapped in his desert hell .
What part o f t he big picture, then, is left for all of us to
claim?
As members o f the vanguard class at Cal State San Marco s,
w e are unwittingly on the path o f greatness. Our participating
in this entrepreneurial, frrst-in-twenty-years major un iversity
makes us leaders in A merica's last empire: educatio n.
Additionally, there is a collector' s passion for th e first
edition; inevitably, history will refer to us and where we ' ve
gone. More specifically, we face the rare capacity to prescribe
the future and, indeed, there are many areas where we can
make marks on the future o f a m ajor university.
Perhaps the most striking detail a t C SUSM is the higher
proportion o f w omen, oftentimes referred to as "returning
students." More accurately, they are the "current trend."
Women pursuing degrees and credentials in higher n umb ers
than ever is a microcosm o f t he progress they can seck in
society.
In recognition o f this mission, a campus-based center
highlighting great women (and thereby providing role models) is not gratuitous. Leaders in a rt, science, medicine an d
business could comprise such a tribute, with a focus on recent
and local subjects.
I t's important to note that the Teacher Credential program
at CSUSM hosts many o f t omorrow's torches o f learning.
Establishing the Department o f Education as a prominent
source o f applied research will b e o f p aramount importa nce to
the university's profile, and may be seminal in stemming a
deluge o f societal ills.
On the flipside, Business Education continues to hold
intense p opularity and pragmatic p ayoffs. Furthe rm ore,
CSUSM is the only state subsidized alternative to SDS U's
distant and impacted program.
There should be no hesitation to buttress the elements of
today' s best business education: writing and problem solving;
behavioral management; and international citizenship.
T he b est balance to strong professional programs is a
broad, liberal arts and science curriculum. All o f the mandates
o f higher education get met: intellectual development, communication skills, cross-cultural exposure and appreciation
for the human heritage.
Finally, there should b e rapid development of a studentbody political process. This will lend momentum to th e
school's collective soul and it will give a voice to the univ ersity's " owners." In order to
real force in decisions, and no t
merely a seminar in parliamentary procedure, there must be
built-in administrative and faculty interfaces.
All too frequently the disparagement o f the past is a
reflection o f " what s hould have been done." W e have been
blessed with a pinch in the historical tide and our duty dictates
throwing stones twenty years forward.

A T HOUGHT:
"I mistrust all frank and
simple people, especially when their stories
hold together .... "
ERNEST HEMINGWAY/
IN 'THE SUN ALSO RISES'
..
_
...... .... . .. . .................
Call up the reserves. Tell grandpa to dust o ff
his Civil Defense helmet. The reincarnation o f
old Adolph Hitler is searching for Lebensaraum
in the mideast. Journalists and politicians quickly
p oint to t he s imilarities between Saddam
Hussein's Blitzkrieg into Kuwait and Hitler's
takeover o f Czechoslovakia in 1938.
But are these masters o f the sound bite and
pork barrel too selective in 'drawing parallels
between the present stalemate and World War
II? Are the leaders o f opinion and industry
purposely focusing on the obvious to avoid the
revelation o f far deeper and more significant
parallels? You be the judge.
In March 1942, more than three months after
the U.S declared war on Germany and Japan,
the senior Senator from Missouri, dedicated to
"exposing treasonable arrangements," embarked
on a series o f hearings. The target o f these
hearings was Standard Oil. With the help o f dirt
dug up by Roosevelt's Secretary o f Interior,
Senator Harry S. Truman showed that Standard
and Farben I.G. (The German industrial trust)
had literally carved up the world markets far
more efficiently than Hitler and Stalin had vivisected Poland. Oil and chemical monopolies
had been established all over the map.
The hearings revealed that WilliamS. Farish,
then President o f Standard Oil, had refused to
send vital patent information to Canada because
Canada and Germany were at war. Farish had
also refused to supply the U.S. Navy with Standard's newly developed synthetic rubber. Truman even produced cables showing Standard's
arrangements with Japan were to continue
throughout any conflict or break in trade."
What Truman's hearings did not reveal was
that the Chairman o f Standard Oil, Walter C.
Teagle helped organize the sale o f tetraethyl
lead, an essential aviation gasoline additive, to
both Germany and Japan during the first two
years o f the war. He even "borrowed" 500 tons
from Ethyl, the British Standard Subsidiary.
Thanks to Teagle, London actually provided the
material that made it possible for Hitler's air
force t o bomb England.
Not only that, through Teagle 'scrcativebook-
keeping, the British Royal Air Force "had to pay
royalties to Nazi Germany through Ethyl-Standard for the gasoline used to fly Gorging 's
bombers that were attacking London. The payments were held in Germany by Farben's private banks for Standard until the end o f the
war."
While gas lines and rationing were the rule in
the U.S. during the war, the U.S. Ambassador to
Spain further blew the whistle on Standard
when he made the statement on Feb. 26, 1943,
that "oil products available in the country o f
Spain arc considerably higher than the present
per-capita distribution to the people o f the Atlantic Seaboard o f the United States."
Culpable as they were o f treason, Standard
Oil was in n o way an anomaly. They were joined
in their wartime activities by Ford, ITT, the
Chase Bank and many others.
But again, the object is not to cast blame, but
rather to discover whether the parallels between
the present "crisis" in the Persian Gulf and
World War II run any deeper that the psychological - rofiles o f Saddam Hussein and Adolf
p
Hitler.
The most important question to ask in times
o f national crisis may be: w ho's got the most to
gain and the least to loose? A trip to the gas
pump may provide a clue. Or how about the
scarcity o f Fortune 500 CEOs patrolling the
Saudi-Kuwaiti frontier?

L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER
For most Southern Californians,
Baja ends a t Ensenada. Few people
are adventurous enough to
discover the real treasures found
on the peninsula.
Below Ensenada, B aja's northernmost state does not only afford
an inexpensive getaway from the
hustle and bustle o f Californian
suburbia, it also offers a paradise
for sportsmen and campers.
Many Baja enthusiasts mainLain that the only way to really experience this portion o f M exico is
not from a hotel room, but from
. the awning o f a tent. From there
the untamed land can be witnessed
first-hand, as it was meant to be
witnessed.
Baja is rich in camping areas,
with each possessing a magic all
its own. Most can be reached via
the Transpeninsular Highway. :rhis
thousand-mile ribbon, cutting
down the length o f the peninsula,
has opened the wilderness to great
numbers o f surfers and R V campers eager for relaxation o r sport.
Adventurers will find Baja to be
safe, different and very friendly.
Roving hordes o f b anditos and
gringo-hating Mexican police are
more easily found in Mexico mythology than in reality. I f a nything,
the inhabitants o f B aja Norte are
friendlier than their northern
neighbors.
Heading southeast from
Ensenada on Highway 3, campers
can find the fastest route to the Sea
o f C ortez and the little town o f S an
Felipe.
The road heading to San Felipe
is a lonely desert stretch passing
endless auto graveyards and flat,
uncompromising terrain. T he
t hree-hour trek ends with the
highway a t two giant c ement
a rches marking the city o f S an
Felipe.
At San Felipe the desert meets
the crystal blue Sea o f C ortez.
Campsites with names like
' Campo P ee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace'
abound.
Virtually all these campos
afford dynamic views o f the ocean
and are equipped with showers and
bathrooms (referred to as W.C.s).
M any have hookups for recreational vehicles.
Beaches a t S an Felipe are wide
with fine, white sand. Water temperatures range in the 90s with
lillie o r no harsh currents.
In the entire San Felipe bay, the
waters are waste deep for about a
half a mile out. T he w ater level on
the Sea o f C ortez drops a full 3 0
feet during low tide and shell
collectors can stroll far out into the
bay without gelling wet.
This phenomenon affords a remarkable view. O ne gets the
feeling o f the landscape o f an alien
planet. Strolling into the bay a t
low tide can be dangerous,
however. Stingrays work themselves under the moist sand and
are a pt to sting anyone stepping on

Nights are warm and breezy
and are excellent for nature lovers
who enjoy sleeping under an
endless cloud o f stars.

octopus in great abundance. For $1
b udget gourmets can feast on two

Because San Felipe is a popular
hangout a mong college students,
nightlife is plentiful and exhilarating.
AT C a nd motorcycle riders will
find s ome o f the best sand dunes in
N orthern Baja j ust south o f the
city.
Doubling b ack on Highway 3 to
E nsenada is t he only way to
r eaccess the Transpeninsular
Highway, the only paved route
heading south.
Just below o fEnsenada, near
the town o f M aneadera, sightseers
can find L a Bufadora; otherwise
known as the blowhole. This sea
geyser is considered by many
Mexicans to be the eighth natural
w onder o f t he world.
Here waves are compressed
through a natural crevice in the
cliffs. T he c ompression forces the
ocean water 150 feet into the air in
a fine spray. With each wave,
crowds o f s pectators cheer on the
magnificent geyser.
Camping near the blowhole is
a lso a wonder. Even though campsites a re p rimitive and without
running water, the cliffside camps
possess magnificent views. For the
camper w ho d oesn't w ant to drive
too far into Mexico to find a
panoramic spot, L a Bufadora is
perfect.
A few hours south o f L a
Bufadora is t he small agricultural
village o f S an Quintin. Her lush

Skipp ing fo r ex ci tem ent
on Mexico 's Sea of Cortez
Hot air rushes in your face and
the spray o f ocean mist covers
your body as you skip across the
glassy waters on your manmade
stone.
Jet skiing on the Sea o f C ortez
offers just this kind o f feeling to
both amateur thrill seekers and
die hard adventure mongers
alike.
W e found renting a j et ski in
San Felipe to b e not only an exhilarating skip with nature, but
also safe and comparatively (to
American prices) inexpensive.
In Mexico one o f the greatest
thrills anyone can experience is
the thrill o f a great bargain. The
exhilaration found haggling for a
better price is almost as great as
the ride itself. W e found the best
bargain to b e with Elvis, a San
Felipe local who rents his
machine out on a by-the-hour
basis.
Elvis originally quoted a price
o f $ 40 per hour, but through the
collective bargaining process we
were able to gamer a $30 per

cost o f renting a j et ski in San
Diego.

The TS j et ski is especially
easy to operate. Passengers
merely climb aboard, start the

degree o f skill and strength to get
going.
Our first run was with two

A t the end o f this stretch o f

We were able to gain enough
speed at one point for both

standing on a j et ski comes from
the hot blasts o f wind and ocean
spray that only high speeds can
bring.
With only one passenger the
j et ski changed from a brokendown truck into a sleek racing
machine. The rider truly becomes
one with the machine as the
vehicle becomes one with the
water.
Another thrilling aspect o f the
j et ski was revealed with one
person, the art o f wave-jumping .

SITTING DOWN: Sitting or croutching on
a jet ski allows the rider to cruise with
maximum control and minimum effort. This
is a good position for viewing the surroundings and gaining rest.

Driving in Mexico made easy
" There's no way I 'm taking my
car down there." "Mexican drivers
are crazy." " If your car breaks
down in Mexico you die." "All
Mexican roads are made o f dirt."
"Mexican gas will destroy your
engine."
For the most part these concerns about driving in Baja
California are based on common
misconceptions. Driving in
Mexico is actually as·easy and as
carefree as in the United States.
Travelers heading south down
the peninsula will find nicely
paved roads, plenty o f mechanics
and help in case o f an automotive
emergency.
The first item a gringo driver
should take care o f is automotive
insurance. An American driver

The small village is so isolated
that there arc no electrical lines,
water pipes or phones. Electricity
is provided in some o f the town's
stores through a generator and
water is trucked in daily.
For a fee o f $70, adventurers
can rent a 14-foot ponga (a small
metal fishing boat) and take a
d ay's excursion to the bay's
islands. Such a trip should not be
missed, as the bay is filled with
dolphins, seals and even a gray

world untouched by man.
Bahia de Los Angeles gives
campers an opportunity to be truly
one with nature. The best campsite
in the entire area is located at a
sma ll point at the end o f the bay
called Punta La Gringa.
Named after American women,
who in the past frequented the area
to gather shells and rocks, Punta
L a Gringa is a veritable showcase
o f nature. Here campers can live
o ff the fat o f the land with little or
no effort.
Fish are so abundant in the
crystalline bay that all one need d o
t o survive is c ast a line out and reel
in a bass. Butter clams are so
plentiful in the bay that a bucket o f
the shellfish can be gathered in
less than an hour.
Due to the abundance o f bird
species, the point is a haven for
naturalists, scientists and bird
watchers. Blue-footed boobies,
identical to those found in the
Galapagos Islands, and ospreys
share the skies with pelicans and
sea gulls.

camping at Punta La Gringa has no
showers or W.C.s, but for $2
campers can use facilities in the

adapt to the slow pace rather than
cursing it.
Highways in Baja are nicely
paved and well kept, but at times
can be narrow and winding. The
Transpeninsular Highway, which
spans the length o f the peninsula is
the finest Baja has to offer. Roads
in small villages or drives leading
to isolated hideaways may not necessarily be paved.
I f car problems do occur on the
highways, a federally-funded
service called the Green Angels is
provided. T he Green Angels
constantly roam the highways in
green service trucks. This complimentary service helps stranded
travelers with .battery failures, fan
belt breakages and whatever easily
fixed problem might occur.
Travelers should keep extra fan
belts, air filters, oil filters a nd

journeys into Mexico. Even
though the country is filled with
qualified mechanics, parts are not
always easy to c ome by. Waiting
for a fan belt for a Toyota, for

T HE P ERFECT MINI GETAWAY
Beating Moctezuma's Revenge
Perhaps the biggest factor preven ting Americans from travelling
in Me xico is the fear of
Moc tezuma's Revenge.
The ailment produces such
sy mptoms as diarrhea, violent
sto mach cramps and cold sweats
tha t can tum any dream vacation in
paradise into a nightmare in hell.
But with a little common sense
and a few precautions, travelers
can enjoy Mexico ' s grandeur
without fear o f the Aztec k ing's
curse for gringo s.
In order to prevent the ailment,
one mu st have an elementary
understanding o f the disease's
transmission.
Moctezuma's Revenge is
simply the introduction o f bacteria
indigenous to Mexico into the
American body. The most common way these strains o f bacteria
are introduced is through the
drinking o f Mexican water o r the
eating o f some food.
According to Hidden Mexico, a
traveler' s guide to Mexico, not all
visitors come down with the
illness. It is possible to cat like a
king and not suffer any ill side
effects. The book offers some suggestions on how to eat in peace:
Fruits and nuts with peels are
generally safe. Make sure all fruits
and vegetables are cleansed with
purified water before consumption.
Meat, seafood, peeled fruit
and drinks served at taco stands
should be eaten with discretion. i f
great numbers o f flies abound at a
particular taco stand, it should be
avoided. Food at these tacorias is
generally safe and very tasty.
G o easy on experimentation.
Since many Mexican foods arc
very spicy, it is not advisable to
mix them too much. Take spicy
foods one at a time and in moderate quantities.
Drink only bottled water,
known in Mexico as agua purifi-
cado. A void drinks with ice unless
the establishment where they arc
served uses bottled water. Do not
use tap water for brushing teeth .
I fMoctezuma's Revenge does
strike than a sparing dose o f
Lomotil is advised. Lomotil is a
morphine derivative which induces
a kind o f intestinal paralysis. It is
available all over Mexico and in
the United States.
Kaopectate or Pcpto-Bismol
can reduce the discomfort o f
stomach cramps and chamomile
tea works wonders at soothing th e
stomach.
If Moctezuma persists with his
torture for more than five days, a
visit to a doctor is advised.
The most important deterrent to
the ailment, however, is attitude.
Those who worry most about
getting sick in Mexico ultimately
are not disappointed. Use Mexico
for relaxation and enjoy the great
culinary dishes it has to offer.

A guide to what activities
await just over the bard
With classes in full swing a t Cal State San
Marcos, collegians are hard-pressed to find a
quick, affordable getaway. With only a
weekend and a minimal bank account,
students can find a paradise o f relaxation
only an hour away in Mexico.
Those wishing to dance and party all night
can find good times waiting for them at
Tijuana's Avenida Revolucion. This main
artery o f the Mexican border town is filled
with Discotheques and flashy bars.
Among the most popular and elaborate o f
T J' s discos is O H!. OH! is usually packed to
the video-lit rafters with fun-seeking college
students. Here dancers can boogie the night
fantastic to top disco hits.
Just o ff Ave Revolucion is the low key
nightclub L a B amba. This hole-in-the-wall
disco offers contemporary music and their
famous tequila poppers.
T ijuana T illy's, also on Ave. Revolucion,
has a less frenetic atmosphere indigenous to
Carlos Anderson establishments. Unusual
pictures and paraphernalia adorn the ceiling
and walls in this popular gathering place.
Tijuana Tilly's serves great food at reasonable prices and is famous for margaritas.
Shoppers can find great bargains and a
wide variety o f merchandise in the avenu e's
many curios shops. Items such as cigarettes
and alcohol can be bought for much cheaper
prices than across the border. Be advised,
however, that United States customs allow
only two liters o f alcohol and two cartons o f
cigarettes to cross into American territory.
Sportsmen will find excitement in
Tijuana's unusual spectator activities. Here
sports not found in the U.S. are played in
dynamic style.
The drama and courage o f the bullfights is
played every Sunday afternoon a t4 p .m. in
the town ' s arena. Bullfighting is a Mexican
tradition and should be seen at least once to
get a real taste o f culture south o f the border.
Bullfighting is as much a part o f Mexican
culture as Football is to the culture o f the
U.S . with matadors being national heros.
J ai Alai is another offbeat sport not found
in California. In this high-speed game,
players fling a wooden ball at speeds in
excess o f 200 miles per hour a t a cement
wall. The game is filled with drama and
paramutual betting adds to the excitement.
Gamblers will love Agua Caliente.
Caliente is T ijuana's version o f Del Mar and
Hollywood Park. Here horses and dogs race
year-round for the pleasure o f betters.
South o f Tijuana in the little hamlet o f
R osarito, visitors can find more docile
forms o f relaxation. The small town is filled
with mom and pop taco stands that serve
burritos and tortas a t reasonable prices.
Rosarito possesses wide, sandy beaches that
are perfect for sunbathing and sometimes
parasailing.
The old Rosarito Beach Hotel is probabl}'
the best known spot for sipping a cold,
exotic drink and listening to mariachis.
Years ago such greats as Lana Turner and
Orsen Wells sipped coco locos or tequila
sunrises on the old inn's patios.
Lodging at the hotel is reasonable by
American prices with some rooms containing kitchenettes. All o f the rooms are
spacious with newer bungalos costing more
money.
A few miles south o f Rosarito is the
lobster mecca o f P uerto Nuevo. Here
dozens o f restaurants serving principally
lobster can be found. For $8 a good sized
lobster is served Mexican-style with rice and
beans. Anyone craving crustaceans will find
Puerto Nuevo magnifico.
Between Puerto Nuevo and Ensenada lies
the d unes o f C antamar. These beachside
dunes resemble a scene from ' Lawrence o f
Arabia' and are wonderful fodder for ATC
riders and motorcyclists.
One o f the best restaurants in Northern
Baja is the one found at the L a F onda hotel.
The restaurant is perched on a cliff overlooking white, sandy beaches. Specialties include
lemon pie and lobster.
Lodging at the L a Fonda hotel is unique
and very romantic. Poems adorn the walls
above the beds in some rooms, whereas
other rooms resemble a cave. Prices at the
hotel are moderate.
At the fishing city o f E nsenada, travelers
will find a thriving metropolis geared to the
tastes o f tourists. Ensenada is known .for its
fish taco stands which abound throughout
the city. Ensenada is higher-paced than
many towns but not nearly as chaotic as
Tijuana.
By far the most well-known spot in town
is H ussong's C antina. This dive bar,
reminiscent o f the old west, has wooden
tables and floors covered with s awdust At
night federales, or state police, are stationed
outside the door to keep mayhem at a
minimum.
Carlos a nd C harlie's bar and grill is
another Carlos Anderson creation similar to
Tijuana Tilly's. Even though food prices are rather high, Carlos and Charlie's is rich in
atmosphere suitable for Americans.
Another hotspot in Ensenada is P apas a nd

Ensenada is much less frantic for shoppers
with curios shops in great supply.
Along with bullfights, Ensenada also has
sports fishing and c harreadas, o r rodeos.
In S an F elipe, visitors can feast on the
town's specialty o f clams and shrimp for
pennies on the dollar.
One o f B aja's most unusual restaurants is
C lam M an's. Diners can munch on buckets
o f tasty butter clams and listen to the late
clam m an's patented spiel on the contributions o f the clam to the sex drive. Whale
bones and dried fish adorn the restaurants
decor to create an unusual and rustic
atmosphere.
Rockodile's is a video bar that reflects the
fun o f this small tourist town. One part o f
the cantina contains a volleyball net where
tournaments are held on weekends.
San Felipe is a paradise for sportfishing,
windsurfing and j et skiing. The calm, warm
water o f the bay is perfect for water sports.
Just north o f San Felipe is a string o f
gringo-oriented campsites for the more
rugged traveler. These campos, with names
like 'Campo Pee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' have
showers, toilets and great ocean views.
South ofEnsenada near the town o f Maneadera is the Mexican eighth wonder o f the
world, L a B ufadora, otherwise known as
the blowhole. La Bufadora is a natural sea
geyser that sprays water 150 feet into the air
with each lull o f the tide. Watching the
phenomenon is free o f charge.
At S an Q uintin motorcyclists and ATC
riders will find dunes and wide, white
beaches with which to test their skills.
There are few eating establishments in San
Quintin, but Americans can find a safe,
hot meal a t the L a P inta resort hotel. L a
Pinta rises like an oasis from the dunecovered beach, with reasonable nightly
rates and comfortable lodgings.
From B ahia d e L os Angeles, nature
lovers can marvel in the full spectacle o f

visitors can rent boats for day-long excursions to the b ay's many islands.
Renting a boat, o r ponga, is an essential
activity for L.A. Bay visitors. The Bay is
filled with dolphins, whales and seals.

Cajun Connection food as good as Orleans
In the expanding world o f fish restaurants
and steak houses, fmding an original and exciting eatery can b e ·a challenge.
The Cajun_ Connection, located at 740 Nordahl Rd. in San Marcos, is one fo'sure way to
beat the bland blues. I guarantee it. Here is an
island o f Louisiana hospitality in an ocean o f
fa st food joints.
Patrons can listen to the southern sounds o f
z ydoko music and munch on Mississippi-area
delicacies in a light atmosphere sprinkled with
a touch o f elegance.
Collegiate Gourmet
The food at Cajun Connection is as good as
that found in New Orleans itself. From appetizers to desserts, the Collegiate Gourmet found all
dishes irresistibly different and stimulating to
the palate.
I started my meal with an appetizer o f fried
alligator. Gator is a tender meat with a very
slight musky flavor. Fried with a light, crunchy
cornmeal coating and served with a zesty horseradish sauce, the gator has just enough bite to
wake up the salivary glands.
Another outstanding appetizer is the fried
oysters. Once again the cornmeal brings out the
best flavors o f the dish. For added pleasure, I
found that a touch o f Louisiana hot sauce accents these tender morsels perfectly.
Chicken and sausage gumbo is also available
fo r those who want a real taste o f New Orleans.
Each dinner is served with a simple, green
salad and garlic bread. I found the house dressmg to be quite refreshing. With aliberal content
o f lemon, this dressing is quite' zesty and very
flavorful.
From blackened steak
to crawfish fettuccini,
the menu has
S TACEY S MITH /PIONEER
Gator Bee r, T abasco sauce and craw fi sh are some of the d e li cacies found at The Cajun Conn ection in San Marcos. At th is restaurant,
diners can eat exotic New Orleans-style dishes in an atmosphere brimming with Southe rn c harm.
enough diversity in selection to please any diner.
On my last trip I tried the frog legs as my
main course selection. This delicacy is very
tender and possesses a slightly fishy flavor.
Served fried with alligator shaped french fries,
the frog legs make for a pleasing and light main
course that will make you jump for joy.
My personal favorite main dish is the catfish
courtboullion. This
fresh-water fish
has a mild
taste that is perfect with just a touch oftabasco.
It is fried to a delicate crunch, served on a bed
o f rice and topped with seasonal vegetables. It
is a definite must try!
When available, the Cajun Connection also
serves a Louisiana-style plate o f crawfish. Not
only are these mini-crustaceans flavorful, they
are also a great eating adventure.
Those diners who enjoy a new and exciting
domestic beer will be pleased to find three uncommon brews on the menu. O f the three, Dixie
Beer, from New Orleans, has the most pleasing
flavor and is a great compliment to the cajun
food fare.
At all costs avoid the Gator Beer. This Florida brew has a sour offensive bouquet that
assaults the senses.
Wine lovers will find a pleasing variety o f
California white and red varietals.
An absolute must-try dessert is the bread
pudding. This rich delight is filled with pineapple and golden raisins and is smothered in a
warm brown sugar syrup I t is undeniably the
best bread pudding in North County.
The service is casual but amiable. A t times
the owner, and chef, makes personal visits to
diners and is always in the mood to s uggest a
new and exciting taste creation.
Prices are moderate to expensive with dinner
for two costing around $45.
T he Cajun Connection is open Tuesday
through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 :30p.m., Saturdays from 3-9:30 p.m. and Sundays from 3-9
p.m.
All ;n all, i t's a g reat place to take an adventurous date. Y 'all a re gonna love it.
Robert Smith radiates in 'Blue Sunshine' album
D AVID H ATCH /PIONEER
Cure fans relax!
Just when you thought you would
need to resort to old recordings, Robert
Smith is back as strong and as vague
as ever with newly released material
and a new band, called The Glove, in
his album "Blue Sunshine."
This time h e's got help from former "Siouxsie and the Banshees" lead
singer Landray. A couple formed in
Heaven?
I t would seem so. Landray's dis-
tinctive and frantic-sounding vocals
combined with Smith's dark and often-analyzed lyrics add up to form a
very haunting couple. They could very
well be the "Addams Family" o f the
music world.
To analyze lyrics or even point out
their symbolisms when dealing with
Smith is redundant, redundant, redundant. E verywhere y ou t urn,
S mith's lyrics are subjected to intense
analysis.
Smith has diverged on this recording and performed two instrumental
pieces.
The first is "Blues in Drag," which
concludes the ftrst side o f the album.
"Blues" is a song that conjures up images o f a dream sequence, one where

Fall season heats up
with new video sales
P EGGY OSTERLOH/PIONEER
As the summer movies dwindle to
a small flame, the video retail market
prepares for a blazing hot fall season.
There is a wide variety o f films
com ing with smash hits like ' The
Hu nt for Red October' and ' When
Harry Met Sally,' and a wide range in
pri ces.
Starting out the month o f September is the hit movie ' When Harry Met
Sally,' starring Billy Crystal and Meg
Ryan. This movie grossed over $91
million a t the box office.
'Working Girl,' starring Harrison
Ford and Melanie Griffith, will be released this month for sale as well.
Both movies will sell for$19 .98 each.
Rounding out the end o f the month
are several boxed sets specially packaged for the holiday season. T he
' Ghostbusters' pack will include the
ori ginal and its sequel and will sell for
$ 13 .95. 'The Karate K id' trilogy will
be available Sept. 2 6 with a price o f
$54. 95 . 'Back to the Future I II' is set
for th e end o f November, and there
are rumors o f a trilogy set j ust before
Christmas.
In October, the movie that started
all th e green mania, 'Teenage Mutant
Ninja T urtles,' is a lso d ue out.
'Turtles' grossed $130 million and
started an onslaught o f memorabilia
and increased the popularity o f these
hard-shelled kicking amphibian.
On Oct. 10, the comedy-murder
' In the Spirit' will be selling for the
high price of$89 .95. This movie teams
up comedians Marlo Thomas and
Elain May. It includes Peter Falk o f
the ' Columbo' s eries, O lympia
Duk akis and Melanie Griffith.
A disciple o f Satan terrorizes victim sin ' TheFirstPower.' It stars L ou
Diamond Phillips and Tracy Griffith
with the sound track provided by expolice member Stewart Copeland. I t

surreal environment
The second instrumental piece ends
the recording and conjures the image
of a much blacker dream; a dream o f
chaos and confusion. This darker
instrum_ntal is called "Relax," an
e
ironic title for the feeling I got from
the music. Toward the end the instrumentals in " Relax" fade in and o ut
until finally exiting smoothly then
bursting back in a flood o f music,
talking and noise, once again evoking
that frantic feeling.

Landray performs on six songs,
the strongest being the first single,
"Like an Animal."
Although "Punish me with Kisses"
will probably be the next single, the
appropriate radio station could pick
any one o f the songs to further support
the recording.
All songs were written by Smith,
but he only sings two, and those were
done in very Cure,-like fashion. Landray performs her six songs very
strongly and both instrumental pieces
are mesmerizing in their own right.
I f you ever wondered what the
Cure would sound like i f they had a
really great female vocalist, this is the
choice recording for you.
