The decline was greatest among African-American and Latino students. Abput half of CSU's 22,000-student decline was a ttributed t o d elibera^ downsizing. The balance, CSU officials said, was largely the result of a 10 percent fee mm increase, the inability of some campuses to offer classes, the continuing recession, and negative publicity about both costs and class availability.

Friday, January 28,1994 Bookstore Blahs Amy Glaspey Staff Writer "Books cost too much," drones the founder of Crown Books, promoting his discounted bestsellers. It is not until we write checks for $300twice a year that his words hit home. At the end of each semester, students get back a portion of their textbook investment during book buy back days. This fall, the University bookstore advertised "up to 50% cash back for your used books." Experienced textbook consumers know it is often smarter to keep their texts than take their chances during book buy back. Some students are shocked to find that their $50 textbook is worthless after four months of infrequent use. This is how book buy back works.

Receive afree "Students get irate when they see a textbook on the shelves after their text had been rejected during book buy back," Zoren said, "And I don't blame them." "The bookstore is being unprofessional by blaming the teachers," said one CSUSM senior. "The store is not as responsive to students needs as they could be." He cites the problem with the University Store is insufficient textbook inventory. Failure to have an adequate number of books on hand at the beginning of each semester "compromises the university." "My first semester at CSUSM, I had to wait over one month for a sociol- ogy text. My teacher came from CSU Long Beach and got his order in late," remarks one student. One cause of late requisition forms, according to a University Store staff person, is the existence of part-time faculty. Parttime professors who get hired two weeks before the semester begins simply do not have a chance to get in their orders on time The CSUSM senior refuses to accept the University Store's explanations. "If there is something wrong with the system, they should change the system. If the orders come in late, the book store should place a rush order with the publisher." Former Saint Joseph resident graduates from CSUSM It is never too late to pursue your dreams. This past December, Hazel Scott "Scotti" Aretakis, 54, fulfills her lifetime dream of getting a college degree. She graduates from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor's degree in sociology. Aretakis attributes this accomplishment to her mother. "My mother taught me and my brother, Bill Scott, to have a sense of our own self-worth and to ersevere even in the face of adversity. It is these and the other values that she instilled in me as a child that gave me the strength to pursue a college education," said Aretakis.

All of those students who plan to return here next semester and were born in 1957 or later, will need to provide proof of a Measles and Rubella immunization prior to registering next semester. Those who do not comply will receive an I-Hold notice, which states that they will not be allowed to register until they submit the required form. The staff of Student Health Services is available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM to help students meet this re- quirement. Students who have immunization records should bring them to the Student Health Services Clinic to receive a clearance. The staff can assist students who need to send away f or their medical records. Students who need to receive the vaccine can do so at no charge at any time during the semester. It is highly advisable to do this early in the semester to avoid long lines later. To make an appointment f or an immunization, call 752-4915, or stop by t he clinic. The Student Health Services Center is located on the first floor of Craven Hall. It is the first door on the right as you are facing the building. Photo/Carlos Mariscal Susan Mendes, LVN, Health Education Assistant, assists in Nutritional Counseling SERVICES Nutritional counseling now available at SHS Student Health Services now has appointments available for private, individual nutrition counseling with students. At the session, students are asked to bring in a three-day food diary that records everything they have eaten during that time. This information is then entered into the computer. Using a new, specialized health program called Nutritionist IE, the nurse is able to give the student a complete six-page dietary analysis. This indicates the total nutrients and calories consumed, percentage of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as recommendations for excesses and deficiencies. The nurse then reviews the report with the student and makes recommendations for healthy dietary changes. Computerized body fat testing is also available by appointment. For this test, a small, sticky electrode is attached to the patient's wrist and ankle. The analyzer measures the body's resistance and reactance The results of this test are then entered into a computer program which gives a body profile analysis, which includes such information as percentage of body fat and percentage of lean muscle tissue, as well as BMR, or basal metabolic rate. This is very important, as it indicates the exact number of calories that person burns every day. Activity level and specific exercises can be factored in to indicate the number of calories burned with increased activity. This information can be especially helpful for students who want to lose or gain weight, reduce body fat, or build up muscle. To make an appointment for either of these services, call Susan Mendes at Student Health Services, 752-4915.

Davis, Ph.D. Contributing Writer This is addressed to students who face a new semester of new courses, new teachers and new texts. How will you cope with so many unknowns? You have a choice—fear and trembling or confidence and assurance. Now is the time to decide. As you give personal thought and time to the way you plan to approach what's ahead, consider the statement made by the famous psychologist, Carl Menninger: Attitudes are more important than facts. How does this bear on the problem of facing unknowns? In the first place, all these unknowns are facts. You just aren't aware of them. You can't control them. But you do have a choice; the way in which you perceive the facts. This is where your attitude comes in. In the second place, your attitude is a choice you can make. You decide the mental position by which you want to perceive the undeniable facts. In an attempt to reach your goals, remember, your attitude is a key. It can be a roadblock or a doorway to success. If you have the slightest tinge of apprehension, let me tell you how I put it to my students in statistics. We repeated the familiar refrain from a children's story, ' The Little Train That Could"— I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan And I can do most anything if I only think I can Simply stated, you can succeed if you give yourself a chance. With a positive attitude, you can achieve your goals this spring semester.

Beginning with a morning kick-off on campus, students from CSUSM clubs and organizations will participate in activities they have planned involving services for those in our surrounding community. Student leaders are actively involved in planning community services and they welcome participation from students, faculty,, and staff. Yvonne McCarty is coordi- nating various clubs in youth-oriented service with workshops on campus for invited members of the Boys and Girls Clubs as well as selected San Marcos elementary, junior and senior high school students. Ann Garman, along with members of Circle K, will host high school Key Club students on campus. These youth-oriented activities serve to improve self-esteem, encourage continuing education, promote a desire to learn, and familiarize students with our campus. Rolando Nooris and computer club members will provide hands-on computer learning experiences. Bertha Walker and members of the Pan-African Student Alliance are participating and also providing logistical support for Volunteer Day. Tanis Brown of CSUSM Alumni Club continues to contribute her leadership for this event, especially the rally. Katherine Johnson-LaVesque has designed the logo (seen above, from a photograph by Alexa Welch). Environmentally oriented services will be the focus at nearby Discovery Lake Park. When the roads are completed, it will be a pleasant hike from our campus. Cleaning up the park and creating a nature display board are the focus of services of the Earth Club. Many hands make light work (bring gloves) therefore Michelle Sedova, President of Earth Club, and Richard Molloy, President of Associated Students, welcome volunteers. "Jennifer Elbert and the 3-D club members will be there too, culminating a week of activities shared with a local girl scout troop. Other volunteer services vary. Scott Sherrillo and the Accounting Society, in conjunction with the IRS, will be available on Volunteer Day and throughout the tax season to assist local income and elderly in* tax preparation. Any students and Spanish speakers may also request assistance through this Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The Argonaut Society has a special service project for the San Marcos Historical Society and Mueum. T&s Association for Busi- ness Students and other clubs are also planning activities for volunteer day. In the spirit of partnership, Mayor Thibadeau and the City Council of San Marcos have issued a Proclamation recognizing February 26, 1994 as Volunteer Day. Volunteer Day can fulfill several university goals: outreach and cooperation with our broader community; promotion of civic pride and responsibility; as well as initiation of contacts for service-learning opportunities. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service with the theory and concepts taught in their courses. During Club Days in the Plaza on January 31, February 2, and 3, interested students, faculty and staff may sign up to join in Volunteer Day activities. Sign ups continue at the Associated Students Office Ext. 4990, the Student Activities Office, Ext. 4970, or the ServiceLearning Office, Ext. 4057.

Consider, for a moment, the constant cloud that has surrounded the administration beginning with the policy regarding homosexuals in the military and encompassing the firings of the entire White House travel staff, flip-flopping on Bosnia, the failure of the ambitious stimulus package, the thwarted nominations of Zoe Baird, Kimba Wood, Stephen Breyer and Lani Guinier, the hour-long haircut that held up air traffic at LAX, allegations made by members of the Arkansas National Guard about gubernatorial infidelities, the suicide of White House lawyer and long-time Clinton pal Vince Foster, the forced resignation of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, the Waco fiasco, allegations of financial impropriety involving Whitewater Investments, and, most recently (at press time, anyway), the decision by former Defense Secretary nominee Bob Inman to withdraw his name from consideration despite the guarantee of overwhelming..confirmation in the Senate. How has this cursed administration managed to achieve anything substantial in the midst of such chaos? Well, if you believe the headlines, they haven't. This year has seen the passage of Clinton-sponsored legislation such as the most comprehensive and radical fiscal package since the early Reagan years, the Family Leave Act, the Motor Voter Bill, as well as the introduction of a massive, ambitious overhaul of the health care system, congressional approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement and a successful resolution to GATT negotiations with Eu- style political gossip. This is not to say that there is some kind of national media conspiracy to discredit the leader of the free world or even that Clinton is somehow the first president to be slighted in such a manner. The current media culture has evolved gradually through time, and certainly significant events in the Reagan and Bush administrations were often ignored in ways this was a good thing; more citizens (especially young ones) were exposed to American politics than in the past, and more of them became involved in the process. But by breaking new ground, Clinton managed to alienate the more respectable media establishment. The New York Times and CNN are now forced to compete with MTV News and Hard Copy, and in the process the distinction between these different forums has blurred considerably. Most of the press no longer has faith that the American people will be interested in tales of legislative battles or trade negotiations. So instead we get lurid tales of Governor Clinton rushing out for a quickie in his limousine while the National Guard looks out for Hillary. There are many substantial areas in which the current administration deserves intellifavor of more sexy stories about Nancy's gent criticism, including the lack of a cohewardrobe or George's distaste for broccoli. sive foreign policy and the President's willBut the climate has intensified significantly ingness to sacrifice important issues for the in the past few years, and the blame (or credit, sake of political expediency.

Yet the only stories garnering significant news space have been the scandals. Even Clinton's recent trip to Eastern Europe and Russia in which he met with Boris Yeltsin and announced a new plan to gradually include Eastern European nations in NATO was overshadowed by the buzz of allegations and innuendoes about Whitewater.

Gunderson took 54.5% of the vote to defeat rival Jack Burke, who finished with 42.2%. Gunderson plans to make good on her campaign statement, by utilizing A.S. as the liaison between the student body and university. "We're here to stand up for ourselves," said Gunderson. "We can't let people walk all over us. The student body needs to know that people are standing upforthem. Gunderson pointed toward the transformation A.S. has undergone in becoming incorporation and an independent entity as an important phase in the student body's development. "What we do right now will affect the student body for the rest of the time to come," she said. Gunderson is getting a head start on next semester by scheduling fund-raising over the summer for programming and recreation. She also plans to stick behind childcare developments and supports the new childcare representative position. Polling in order to clearly represent student opinion is another item slated on Gunderson to-do list for next year "I want to give students an idea of what's going on. It's really important that the board members are out there and are friendly with students," Gunderson said. Joining Gunderson will be two returning Vice Presidents, Lisa Lopez (external) and Fara Kneitel(internal). Each has had a year's experience in her position. Filling the spot of secretary is Amy Parslo who took 59.3% of the vote over Benjamin Lee, who had 29.7%. Parslo worked as an A.S. student assistant for two years, and has 10 years of secretarial and account representing experience in the business world. Joseph Faltaous ran uncontested f or treasurer. The A.S. Bylaws revision passed overwhelmingly, taking 83.6% of the vote. Only 30 voters opposed the ratification, and 70 did not vote on the ratification. The Childcare Rep. position created by the Bylaws revisions will be occupied by Kelly Lupro. Further positions will be announced in the next edition of The Pride. �GSUSM student made MiraCosta Trustee By Steg Stegmuller Staff Writer Carolyn Batiste, a Psychology Major at CSUSM was recently appointed to the Board Of Trustees for MiraCosta College.

IRA funds available �No fair this Spring By Tony Barton Editor-in-Chief A general career fair is not being offered this semester, due to lack of human resources and budget constraints. "Some students are thinking that we are ignoring the problem. We're not It's a dollars and cents issue. It's a $3,000 investment every time we put on a fair," said Career Center Director Sandra L. Punch. "There has been a lack of supporter interest." Donations have been asked for, and employers are charged to take part in the fair to raise more* money. The Career Center has put in a request to hire another full-time counselor to allow for "split duties" in order to provide two fairs during the school year. "Donations have dried up in the last five years," said Punch. Punch urged students to utilize the Career Center (CRA 4201) , which offers 40-50 new job listings a day as an alternative to the fair. "Come in and use the resources on hand," she said. "We encourage students to come in early, to take part in the workshops and use the resource services. We can only do so much. They have to walk in the door." Career Center representatives have been stationed in front of the Dome on Tuesday or Wednesdayfrom11:30a.m. to 1 p.m. to increase student accessibility. The center is open from 8:30a.m. to 12p.m., Mon-Thurs. and 9a.m. to 12p.m. Fri. Call 7504900 for more information.

Both are printed in this edition of The Pride. While these two letters were more than satisfactory, asthey represented student views, they were the only two received during the Associated Students elections, while students were protesting the variety of classes being offered next Fall, and after an editorial by Tony Barton, Editor-in-Chief of The Pride openly attacked Affirmative Action in the last issue of The Pride, among other things. Affirmative Action promotes diversity, which is a main point of Cal State San Marcos' mission statement. The fact that an editorial blatantly down-talking a pillar upon which campus diversity has been founded did not provoke a response is quite alarming. Last Fall, The Pride received numerous letters over the expanse of the semester on the chalking of the student parking lot by the Greek organizations during Rush week. This semester, chalk was again used to promote the week, yet not one letter was received by The Pride. The Pride is designed to be the voice of the students. It maintains a policy of printing all letters the editor it receives that do not violate the boundaries of good taste. Members of the Cal State San Marcos faculty and staff read The Pride. It is an open forum for students to have their opinions heard by them and by others of the student body. If you have an opinion, a misgiving or whatnot, The Pride will print your opinion in letter to the editor form. The Pride has a mailbox in student activities, e-mail address listed on this page and an office in ACD 324.

Many of the people who are critical of The Pride have no idea how The Pride operates, and what goes into the creation of The Pride. For readersfittingthis description, here's some information for you. Writers, photographers, and editors excluding myself and Business Manager Martin Backlund are volunteer. They generally receive no credit or monetary compensation, other than in individual circumstances. A couple of staff writers have worked out independent study credit. At this point, neither myself or Backlund are receiving credit for a work on The Pride. Backlund and myself are, however, receiving stipends. $1,000 goes to me, and $500plus a cut of ad sales goes to Backlund. It's nice to have a form of compensation.

There is also a standard of quality coverage and design that I have for the 9KL ONY I\RTON Pride. At this point in time, I am not satisfied, based on my idea of this student newspaper's purposes. The Pride needs to improve dramatically. Yet, despite thisfact, I cannot put more hours in than I currently am (let's see, I do recall spending too straight 12 hour days in the newspaper office, over-satisfying the projected number of hours I was told it would take per week by at least 9 hours. And that was only Mon. and Tues.). This operation needs to change. Next semester, we need a journalism class on campus. We need training for staff writers and editors to enable the staff to put out a periodical with more comprehensive coverage, better deadlines, and improved style. This school deservers it.

His thunderous footsteps would enslave the stairs on his way to my room. I could smell his hellish breath oppress me before he entered my room through the cracks of the door.

Think Pee Shy, one of the most unique bands around. Pee Shy has an appetizing mix of guitars, bass, drums, but throw in tunes from accordians and clarinet.

Lucia Cifarelli, vocalist, has one demented, warped mind. Her songs are depressing and are about teasing, tempting, refusing, and amusing. Wild, dark beats put you in the slums of any city. Dan Harnett (guitarist) met Cifarelli through a tiny classified ad in the Villiage Voice, i n New York. They jammed together for months, developing a unique style that will push your m ind t 6 a T new level of thinking. The best song on the CD is "Go To Hell."

I feel that it's an unoriginal mesh of almost every trendy alternative band on the radio; Musically, they're good, but they really need someone new to step i n and write songs for them.

The seminars will be sponsored by the International Institute Entrepeneurs. The first class will be an introduction to home base business. It will consist of three segments, each an hour long. The first segment will define home base businesses. The second will go over types including network, tax preparation, desk top publishing, and insurance. Specific businesses covered will be "Interactive Distribution" and "Horizon Quest." The third hour will inform on how to get started. "(Home base businesses are) the consept that we called the cottage industry 20 years ago," said Vern *Cook,who will be teaching the segment on Interactive Distribution. Those interested will then have the opportunity to follow up with employees of the different businesses off campus. Cook stressed the importance of having a secondary income as the purpose behind the seminars. "There's no job security these days. 20 years ago, you could plan on staying with one company for 10 years. Students graduating these days may work 10 jobs in 10 years," said Cook. "Having a secondary form of income to fall back on is very important." In addition to utilizing a secondary income as a safety net, Cook suggested that they may be used to supplement college funds for children, and creating a savings. The target start date for the seminars is September 21. The seminars are not directly linked to the University. The University Jias agreed to allot classroom space to the International Institute for Entrepeneurs in order to provide this service to the students and community. H ie seminars are not reserved to Cal State San Marcos students, but are open to all interested individuals. sn it comes to protecting your country, there are T he U. S.

You can meet John and laugh with him (if he's not on tour) working at the Aztec Shop or doing what he does best, and has been doing since age four, drumming. John Harris was born and raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and he was drumming on the furniture at a young age. His father, walking through a department store with him at Christmas Time* failed to notice young John hook his finger through a drum, in a pyramid of 29, and when they all came tumblinag down his Dad had to buy all of them. With a twenty-nine drum start he gave his first drum recital at age nine. He continued playing at school until he reached high school and then football and working after school took over. He resumed his music career at the University of Bridgeport, but quit to go on the road where he says, played a lot, learned a lot, and enjoyed it a lot." In 1959 he was drafted into the Army and served three years— most of the time playing in a band that traveled all over Germany. When the tour was over he went to New York and toured with the Horace Silver Quintet. He has played with, and been influenced by, some of the Jazz Greats such as: Carmen MaCrae, Phineas Newborn, Seahawk w/Bob Boss, Marshall Hawkens, Kamal Kenyatta, and many others. At the present time he plays with the Jimmy & Jeannie Cheatham's— John Harris, who works in the CSUSM bookstore, has drummed for bands such as theHorace Silver Quintet. Sweet Baby Blues Band. In 1972, on one of his many tours he fell in love with California and settled in Vista, a nice place halfway between the music scene in Los Angeles and the music places in San Diego. Since both cities have an active Music audience, who enjoy good jazz, he has had his share of the work, which he calls fun. "I get to work for the fun of it and get paid too," he said with a pleasing laugh, "and the Aztec Shops have been very considerate and generous in allowing me to take time to tour." I listened to John's subtle but distinctive "anchoring" of the Sweet Baby Blues Band's renditions of Basket Full of Blues; Luv In The Afternoon; and BackToThe Neighbor Hood. The laugh, the love, and the longing to communicate to others his joy of life through his music becomes very apparent in these three CD's. These CD's are available for the listening pleasure of the CSUSM community in the Visual and Audio Center on the 4th floor. There are songs for all moods. If you need a lift from a broken romance try, "Rock Me In Your Arms Tonight." Feelhappy try, 'Take The Wrinkles Out of Your Birthday Suit." Need a little dancing try, "Don't Cha Boogie With Your Black Drawers Off." And Photo by Trish Nagy/ Staff Photographer if you want to study for finals—and blunt the misery—try all of the songs. The Sweet Baby Blues Band members not only play—they also teach at many of their "gigs." Passing on to younger musicians some of the musical knowledge that has been passed onto them by the Musical legends they have played with and learned from. John considers teaching both a duty and a pleasure. 'Teaching others to play is as much fun as playing," he said. And ended with the way he began—a pleasing pleasurable laugh. �Gut the Cholesterol?

Prominent ideas are an elevated bus service and an air-powered monorail. A private engineering firm is working with NCTD in comparing advantages and costs of each technology. The air-powered monorail, proposed by Aeromovel, a Saudi-owned company, is untried in the U.S. Aeromovel monorails exist in Brazil and Indonesia. Steel-wheeled, and pushed by pressurized air columns, Aeromovel's system carries a price tag of $13 million. BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Commuting students may not have to fight for parking or to cross the 78 freeway bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road by the year 2000, if they live along one of 14 planned commuter train stops. The North County Transit District (NCTD) is including a two mile loop to Cal State San Marcos in its plans for a diesel electric train service between Oceanside and Escondido. Currently in deliberation is whether to utilize the same technology on the loop. The elevated bus way is estimated to cost $5 to $7 million. While the monorail would be more costly to construct, most of the land needed is already publicly owned. An elevated bus way would require the pipehasing more land, which could prove to be costly. Main rail trains that will run between Oceanside and Escondido are comparable to San Diego red trolleys, though they do not utilize overhead cables. The loop to CSUSM will shoot off near the San Marcos town center, and will re-join the main rail at Woodland Parkway, after going under Highway 78.

By ToNy BARTON EdiTOR'iN'ChiEf Change has been a constant at Cal State San Marcos, and such is the case with this new year. As state support dwindles, and student body size increases while classroom space does not, President Bill Stacy's State of the University speech posed him as onereadyto take on the ever present struggles of raising a university with the on thing that has remained constant throughout the universities 7 year lifespan- change. Said Stacy, "We are a nation that likes options, as we change jobs, products or universities to get what we want. Thankfully, that swirl of institutional change is no stranger to us." Stacy c ompared t he university's adaptation to a 4,500 student enrollment, and 150 new staff and faculty to a "team", whose players shuffle each new year. New students account for moce than h alf'of^he total population of the student body. These students, Stacy said, will have expectations higher than those who remember the university at it's first location. "Not only do (new students) not share that excitement and prefer the cramped space here to Vallecitos-they will be more than a little aggravated by the space squeeze and the strain on stadd to accomodate them," said Stacy. Stacy r eflected on last years accomplishments, including the passage of Proposition 203, which funds the Photo courtesy of the Office of the President President Stacy gave the annual State of the University Address at California Center for the Arts, Escondido on Aug. 21. construction of a new building, the International building, scheduled for completion in 1998 and the arrival of the first freshman class.

"The future is here. We have glimpsed it, and there is no time to waste implemeting it," said Stacy.

I 've always thought it might be easier to write newspaper stories than a critical analysis of Hamlet, for instance. I mean, how hard could it be? I read Dave Barry's syndicated column in the Union-Tribune every Sunday and all he does is talk about some inane thing he thought of while lying in his hammock in the backyard, sipping a cold lemonade and trying to keep flies from landing in his mouth. I can do that, I thought. No problem. What I didn't realize is that it's difficult to be observant. Suddenly, I find myself no longer consumed by thoughts of numero uno, and spacing out while walking around the campus is slowly becoming a faded memory. I am now forced to notice my surroundings and, frankly, I 've shocked and amazed by what I 've seen, For instance, did ybui Kftdw that thB? lines at the cashier's office actually shrink to a manageable length well before parking permits are required on vehicles parked in campus parking.

The last day to drop and add classes Was September 5 and from around the September 2 oft, you could just walk right up to the counter and state your business. But try that on the first couple of days of school in August and you'd find yourself in line purgatory. By the way, here's a tip for those of you in your first semester at CSUSM. There is a little known school supply that you may find beneficial, especially if you plan on using the restrooms on the third floor in Academic Hall. Paper towels! Usually, you can find someone who is willing to share but on those rare occasions when there are not 500 people jammed in the restroom with you, it's nice to have your own. Besides, it's a great way to meet new friends. Sometimes, at least for ah amateur observer like myself, it's rather difficult to distinguish between the teachers and the students and, honestly, Ifindthe whole thing rather disconcerting. I 've got professors who want me to call them by their first names and who dress like my teenage daughters, and students who remind the teacher to collect the homework, think they know more about the subject matter than God, herself, and have something to say about everything discussed in class, whether they do or not. The cafeteria is another curious thing. Why all the b agels? W here are the @#&*!*% DANISHES. And did you ever stop to consider the ramifications of having to weigh your food?

In fact, they'll go out of their way to do just that. They'll help you if someone tries to do things to you, and they'll help you when things go wrong. Who are they? The State University Police. They patrol day and night. T here are 14 i ndividuals in the university's crime/safety program- a chief, lieutenant, four officers,fivedispatchers, one guard, one parking enforcement officer and six community service officers. OfficerMario Sainz, teaches a course for women on how to defend themselves from an assault. Entitled RAD, it will be offered on Oct. 14,15,18. Said Officer Bobby Rivera, "I would encourage the campus community to take brochures on prevention vehicle theft and prevention of personal assault. They are free for the taking They're available at the Public Safety Office located on the east edge of the campus at 441 La More. Lt. Alicia Smith, the second-ranking officer on campus, said, "CSUSM has very little crime and we want to keep it that way. One of the things the university community can do is to know who we are and that we are here to answer any questions you may have about your safety, parking, or road problems." "We have a number of services that are available to the university community, but which some of the new students and staff may not be aware of." For instance, if you have a dead battery you will be connected directly to the dispatcher when you press the button on one of the 11 emergency poles located in the parking lots. An officer will be dispatched to the emergency pole even if no one is on the line. Very quickly, someone will come with battery cables, start your car, and get you on your way, said Smith. Lock your keys inside? No problem. The officers are equipped with tools and training to help you. As soon as a call is placed a light on the dispatcher's board shows the exact location of the call in the parking lot— even if the phone is hung up. Although public safety officers are restricted from changing tires by law, they will place a service call to AAA "Under no circumstances will we leave you alone at night or in any situation in which you feel threatened," said Rivera. All four officers hope that if the opportunity presents itself, students will walk up to them and introduce themselves, said Rivera. "I would encourage students to participate inofficer Sainz's (RAD) class.They are free of charge, and there may come a time that (participants will) be greatfull for what information they recieved.

Contents ©1996, T l , e P Rldc Please recycle this newspaper Public notification of college crime essential On Sept. 11, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation entitled the Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996. If enacted, bill would require all colleges and universities in the nation to provide a daily log and public notification of all on-campus crimes. The House has similar legislation in the works, introduced by Congressman John Duncan (R-TN). Currently, higher learning institutions are not required to publicly disclose campus police logs. Complaints by students and parents about the inaccuracy of crimerelated information provided by colleges and universities have resulted in the proposed bill, according to a Feinstein news release. In the absence of legislation requiring open crime logs, institutions have covered up their own criminal environments that some may not wish themselves or their children to experience. Students, parents and the surrounding community have a right to accurate information. Criminal statistics may be a decisive factor in a student's choice of an institution. Parents may also be swayed from sending their child to such a school. This is the very reason some keep their records closed. If a high crime rate university was exposed, administrators would logically respond by upping security measures and spending. Perhaps educational activities would suffer budget cuts; but isn't it better to be short one science lab than to be mugged and left for dead in the school parking lot? Public access to information dealing with the safety and well being of students makes sense. It alerts students to the potential dangers of schools they are considering attending. It also forces institutions to combat on campus crime, if only for the sake of attracting new students. The Open Campus Police Log Act of 1996 ensures that the school you ?re attending is safe for you and your belongings. Simply put, we must uncover a smoking area STEG STEGMULLER Simply put, there is no smoking under any covered area at this university. Please notice the word "covered". If you cannot see the sky when you look straight up, don't light up. Is that so hard? . There is no smoking in the courtyaid in front of the book store where the tables and coffee bar are located. Yes, I'm fully aware that coffee and cigarettes are lovers. But lovers can be discreet, and they should also be aware of the no smoking signs posted there. It is only a short hike up the stairs from this area, maybe 80 feet, to the open area around the Dome. Shade, chairs, and tables welcome you there—and so do the rules. It's not just the students who break the rules, staff and professors also have been observed smoking in the restricted areas. And who is going to tell them? Not me. 1 don't mind a little smoke on my grades. But, they shouldn't be breaking the rules—they should be observing them. The cost of cost of cleaning up the butts up uses money that could be better spent elsewhere and labor that should be doing other worthwhile work. Why not have ash trays in the covered walkways so the butts won't get thrown on the floor? The rules prohibit it because that would encourage smoking. You don't leave guns and bullets around when you are trying to discourage shooting. Cigarettes butts, are jeeringly referred to by non-smoking zealots, as "smoked out tampons," Imagine what the metaphor would be if they had lipstick on them! It's morerealisticto think of the butts as unsightly and offensive to a laige part of the university community. For those who are highly allergic to smoke, they are dangerous as well. The solution simply may be to create a place, where excellent coffee and good seating afford those who wish to smoke a place of their own. A place where they can relax in a mini community, of their peers, or with non smokers who feel comfortable in a smoking environment. We need to do that in a non-confrontational manner, realizing as we go that smoking makes up an important part of some individuals lives, and that is inherent in some of the cultures others come from. We need to be sensitive to them, as well as others, in the way we resolve this problem. The university community should consider every one's concerns in a friendly, solve-the-problem attitude. It can be done. In the meantime, if you smoke, please observe the rules. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Prude, Wednesday, Sevreaihen 18, 1996 In defence of InterVarsity's meeting Dear Editor, In response to the "Religious Bigotry Unacceptable" (letter to the editor in May 1 issue of The Pride), I don't think that the author of this article understands the c onsequences o f c arrying o ut h is thoughts. On of the things the writer said is that a campus organization should not be allowed to have the freedom of speech to express its beliefs and concerns. I think it will be a sad day when a person or group of people are not allowed to hear about o r d iscuss t he b enefits o r f aults o f another's ideas. We d o the same thing in each one of our classes for the purpose of determining which is the better explanation or the more logical conclusion to a problem. Since the person who wrote "Religious bigotry unacceptable" wasn't at our March 12 meeting, when we discussed our topic "What does the Mormon doctrine really teach/ Are Mormons Christians," I feel he is not talking out of knowledge. However, I will inform everyone that our speaker was not spreading a message of hate, but rather stressed that we should not use the problems of the Mormon doctrine as a way to attack Mormons. He challenged those in attendance to center discussion on the supreme issue of who they really think Jesus Christ is? Secondly, in regard to the author's opinion of tolerance, as a contemporary scholar so precisely states, "tolerance in personal relationships is a virtue, but tolerance in truth is a travesty. Two plus two doesn't equal 17. It equals four. If this truth is circumvented to calculus, the inevitable result is chaos. Likewise, to compromise the claims of Christ can only lead to calamity." In addressing what seems t o be an underlying premise of the author's article, I find no logic behind relativism. It seems like this is what he might have also meant when he said, "regardless; of if you feel their faith is valid-in your e y£s,it i s certainly valid in their eyes." He i s right that it is valid in their eyes, but being valid doesn't mean it is true. All religions are not true. What is true remains unaffected by our wishes, or whether someone believes that their religion is true or not. The truth remains intact and doesn't change based on someone's view of truth. "All truth is exclusive-it excludes what is false as it affirms what is true. After all, if its true that the capital of the United States is Washington D.C., then it is false that it is any other city on earth. That truth excludes innumerable cities." This should clear up our purpose behind the March 12 meeting. If you have any further questions or comments I'd be more than willing to talk, e-mail me anytime. Also we would be glad to have you join us at any of our InterVarsity meetings. We are not sending a message of hate, but of truth and love. Brent King InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Calling free speech 'hate and bigotry1 is unacceptable Dear Editor, Censorship and banning open discussion doesn't have a place in America, let alone on a college campus. Aren't accusations of bigotry and hate just because of a flier stating "What does Mormon Doctrine really Teach?" evidence of real intolerant bigoty? Most Americans love truth, free speech and open discussions. Some Americans are so sheltered they d on't know what real religious bigotry i s. F or my s pring b reak I was priviliged to travel to Antipolo, Rizal near Manila and see the Movie "Kristo", which I found to be a fascinating blend of Biblical story with Filipino culture. Unfortunately, when I travelled to Zamboanga in Midanao that very same movie had been bombed 4 times by a fanatic anti-Christian minority group. That's real hatred! (Maybe their free speech had been censored).I propose a whole series of religious discussions: What do Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Judaism, and Atheism teach? Sorry if I left anyone out. Alex Albeit Senior Computer Science Government wastes natural resources Dear Editor, I recently performed a few hours of work for a local university. In order to get paid for that work, I was required to complete some forms. I must confess it disturbs me greatly that an institution, which purportedly advocates intellectual freedom and inquiry in the hope of advancing humanity in a positive direction, engages in willful habitat destruction and waste of precious natural resources. I am speaking of trees and the number of which are cut down in order t o c reate r edundant g overnment forms. In order to get paid for a mere 18 hours of work, I had to fill out 5 pieces of paper, all asking for identical information, one of which was in quadruplicate — 8 pieces of paper altogether. T he free market (environmental) approach would have been to compile all the information on one form, enter it into a computer and email the information to the appropriate departments, making the free market approach at least 86% more efficient. While I had no alternative but to submit to this meaningless exercise in penmanship, the waste created by government institutions and agencies such as this one is unnecessary, excessive and appalling. I was under the mistaken impression that the "computer" would somehow streamline government bureaucracy?!? The San Diego Reader recently did an investigative report on why doctors are refusing to accept Medicaid patients — nearly 200 pieces of paper (government forms) must be filled out for each patient! Is it insanity that drives government officials into these wasteful frenzies or is the urge to confiscate and waste tax dollars merely for selfish reasons — like j ob security? It's no wonder that Americans are coming to the conclusion that government just doesn't work. intolerance are not welcome where free speech reigns. Gina Forsythe Political Science/ Liberal studies Mary Szterpakiewicz Gradute Student Criticize events that you attend Dear Editor, This is a reply to the opinions expressed in a letter to the editor printed in the last issue of The Pride concerning supposed religious bigotry at Cal State San Marcos. Patrick Erbeck-McKinnion, Psychology major, stated his concerns about the d ifferences between Christianity and Mormonism. Certainly the Latter Day Saints population felt no threat from the forum (much less the flyer) held by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since no public statement was issued from the LDS community. Why does Patrick purport to be the vanguard f or LDS b elievers? Patrick states he is not Mormon, and furthermore fails to logically substantiate his accusations against the forum. I suggest the LDS student might do better to present their own case without the help of his unfounded conclusions. The argument that simply because faith is valid in the eyes of its believer somehow justifies gurard from criticism has no;place at an i nstitutioft o f higher (earning such as CSUSM., where all ideas and beliefs are subject to critical discussion and debate within the classroom and outside of class. It will be a sad day for free speech when one individual may dictate the boundaries of intellectual discourse. The allegation that to hold a forum contrasting Christianity and Mormonism somehow spreads hate and bigotry is an argument rooted in suspicion and ignorance. Since the letter opens with concern over the flyer, it is unclear if he attended the forum itself. If he was absent, he has no reasonable foundation to assert that the forum promoted hate or bigotry of any kind. Moreover, he fails to cite any information about the actual'event. The forum, which I attended, was merely a presentation comparing and contrasting the doctrines of Christianity with the doctrine of Mormonism. Conducted by an expert on the teachings of Mormonism, it was an educational presentation for everyone, Mormons and Christians included. Among other things, Christianity teaches love, tolerance, and the inherent value of knowledge. The university environment encourages critical thinking and diversity. T his combination p rovides groups, such as IVCF, an atmosphere wherein it is acceptable to consider and debate differing points of view in an open forum. Bigotry is u nfounded p rejudice against race or religion; it is the exclusion of ideas based on personal preference or predisposed ideology. Mr. ErbeckMcKinnion's letter epitomizes such prejudice. To lend credibility to his aiguments, I would advise Mr. Erbeck-McKinnion to attend the events he criticizes. Slanderous unfounded accusations and suspicious We have a right to know what animals undergo Dear Editor, I recently was shocked and ashamed to discover that unnecessary, cruel experiments are being performed upon intelligent little creatures, our fellow earthlings, the rats, right here on our very own campus, C alifornia State University San Marcos. And furthermore, I was annoyed to realize how very little information I could find out about these experiments. I have e-mailed the entire Biology department and support staff at CSUSMj requesting information on these experiments and did not receive one response. I asked in person the director of the Biology department, Richard Bray, about the experiments in question and he referred me to the CSUSM Catalog. Of course the catalog's course descriptions are vague and fail to describe specific laboratory procedures. Bray also in his indirect information alludedto j'^pmB^ative physiology" (he must have been referring to Comparative A nimal P hysiology t aught by B rian Norris (one of those professors who ignored my e-mail).) I still am wondering what the Biology department is doing to animals and f or w hat e ducational p urposes. T he CSUSM Psychology department, on the other hand, was much easier to get information about although not much.1 talked to P rofessor Keith Trujillo, teacher of PS YC 390 and 391 (and self pnxrfaiiried vivisecting vegetarian) and he told me that his class Jias rats in a Skinner box where they are withheld water until they learn to press a lever. Trujillo feels that this experiment is "necessary" to teach his students about conditioned behavior even though the experiment has been done over and over before and can easily be replaced with a video. I requested to see theserats where they are kept and Trujillo made it clear that he does not "give tours" because it makes him "uncomfortable." I feel that everybody has a right to know what treatment living beings of other species are subjected to on our campus and for what reasons. This information should especially not be supressed from the student b ody-thus I am now calling upon The Pride to assign a journalist t o comprehensively investigate vivisection on our campus and a assign a photographer to depict animals in our school's laboratories. I await a much needed and informative investigative account of what is presently veiled in a shround of secrecy.

The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays f rom! 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. On the first and third weekends each month, you can catch a ride on a train hauled by Engine No. 3.

On the second and fourth Saturdays and fourth Sunday, you can ride on a trolley used in Los Angeles at the turn of the century. It was restored by the PowayMidland Volunteers. Originally an electrical trolley, it now runs by a Corvair engine. When the trolley is in for repairs, the volunteers substitute a speeder engine, originally used to haul workers and supplies to mines, along with two gondola cars which were built in the 1880's, and used in mines to haul rocks and ore. There is no train or trolley service on the second Sunday of the month. If you're not into riding the rails, try the Heritage Museum at Old Poway, where you can see artifacts donated by the pioneering families of the community.

Were five Rocky movies necessary? Three Die Hard movies? Two (with a third on the way) Mighty Ducks movies? In fact, it's almost impossible to think of a movie produced in the last five years that actually warranted a sequel. Yet Hollywood continues to milk the cash cow of an already successful idea and cheapen it. Such is the case with The Crow: City of Angels. The successor to the 1994 surprise hit whose popularity was fueled by the on-set death of its star, Brandon Lee. City of Angels is just another sequel in the long line of sequels that should never have been made. The main thrust of The Crow is justice. When someone is killed wrongly, according to the plot, sometimes his soul , oannoqrest, and a crow must resurrect the person to right the wrongdoings. When translated by Hollywood, this means bloody killfest. There is only so much that can be done with this concept- how many ways can one kill for retribution and still remain interesting? Answer: certainly not two. City of Angels is nothing but a rehashing of the first Crow movie, with lesser acting, dialogue, and action. The big plot twist consists of aiather and son being killed rather than a man and his fiancee. 'j* Ashe, this year's Crow, men who killed his son and himself and kill them in order to rest in the afterlife. Ashe, played by Vincent Perez, is a predictable and thoroughly unsympathetic character. He completely overacts the role like the lead in a high school musical, projecting a faux despair that is obnoxious and insulting to any viewer's intelligence. Perez must have studied for the role by watching Brandon Lee multiple times on tape, because he fails to create a new character and instead bungles an imitation of an older one. The rest of the movie's characters become nothing but overexaggerated cartoon characters we've seen in countless other movies. The junkie henchmen, the evil druglord, the tough-yet-vulnerable woman- nothing even slightly original. In fact, the movie's best performance comes not from an actor, but rocker-turned actor Iggy Pop. Granted, Pop is no Marlon Brando, but at least he is semi-believable as a junkie henchman, and a lot more likable than the hero. One of the best things about the first Crow movie was the wit of the main character, which managed to keep the action a little less monotonous and a lot more fun to watch. It's evident that City of Angels tried to duplicate this, through creative line repetition, having Perez repeat something said to him before he was killed as he was killing someone. The first time it worked, but soon it becomes the Please see Crow, p. 7 �The ?nide, Wednesday, SepreabeK 18, 'Girls Town' is casual, comfortable, splendid By ANdiE HE w in Emma: sweet, sobering and socially graceful, yet emotionally awkward yearnPRidE STAff WINTER ing to fly free and unfettered.

Petty from p.6 Petty sings "she'll do anything to make you feel like an a— —e", obviously not a flattering statement, in such a sly way that his true feelings don't come through. Relaxing and listening to the album for the first time, the lyrical content is sometimes disguised. Uncharacteristic of Petty is the instrumental; you see few, if any, on his albums. He includes two, "Hope You Never" and "Airport". "Airport" is Petty's take on piano lounge jazz, and adds new flavor to the typical Petty sound. They are both short and sweet, and nice monotony breakers, serving almost as intermissions from the album's more conventionalsounding songs. From the humor of "Zero From Outer Space" and "Supernatural Radio" to the deadpan cynicism of "Change The Locks" and "Walls", Petty shows us the various sides of his music, yet makes it all sound similar on the surface. Artist like m usic legend and f ellow T raveling Wilbury Bob Dylan sing according to the lyrical content of a song; you can practically taste the feeling in his voice. But Petty prefers to convey a sense of ambiguity, and in many ways that makes his music more fun and accessible. It's not Petty's most serious effort by any means. It's not his best either, but it's n ot trying^ totoe;Miteniiig fe it comes through that all he wanted to do was have fun and make a good album, which is exactly what he does. Tom Petty fans should be pleased Library, Crow from p.6 movie's only source of dialogue. Cfity of Angels means well. Its director, Tim Pope, tries to employ artistic qualities to the film with interesting camera work and the use of a painting to convey mood, much as Bernardo Bertolucci did in Last Tango In Paris. Visually, the movie is interesting, but, like your average supermodel, it's pretty, but it lacks substance. Movie from p.6 somewhat satisfied as the one set of true and good lovers sailed into the sunset in the end. As for the Tom Petty music, the only real song you get to hear is "Even Walls Fall Down." The rest are just little background snippets here and there. My advice is see this movie with your significant other, because you'll leave the theater thinking, "God, isn't our relationship great? We're so lucky." And no it's not a "girl's movie." My boyfriend left the theater saying, ' Hiked $ ffiatlfaoVf^ listen to you more often."

That's how easy it is to apply for more than ten different scholarships at CSUSM, many for as much as $1,500.

Now, one application and the essay are all students need to be eligible for scholarships. Information from the application will also be entered into a database to link students with specific needs and skills to other available scholarships. The office recently sent out 2,300 letters with copies of the application to encourage students to apply.

In a statement, BFO said, "Deeply embedded institutional racism has contributed to the creation of a hostile working environment" at CSUSM. The O ct. 21 "Teach-in" was created to bring the campus community together and address these allegations in the open. It was a day-long event featuring guest speakers, workshops and entertainment aimed at addressing the issue of racism. In recent weeks, other incidents involving the first professor also are being investigated by the university, including an attempted break-in at the professor's house and a bomb threat at the apartment complex of her student teaching assistant. * Staff photo/ The Pride In the aftermath of the swastika graffiti, The Palomar Pomerado Health Systems building, located across Twin Oaks Valley rd. from Cal State San Marcos/will house new Student Health Services offices. university President Bill Stacy scheduled a Move date finalized Palomar offers child daycare By Donna Gonzales Pride S taff Writer Dr. Fritz Kreisler's column returns.

Student shows slides of revolutionist army study By Paul Hilker Pride S taff Writer Loud bursts of gun-fire punctuated the dense tropical air, but the jungle humidity muffled the ensuing cries of Mexican peasants. *This was the scene near Aguas Blancas, a small town in the state of Guerrero, Mexico where 17 people were massacred on June 18, 1995. Christine Powell, a student of Mexican history from Cal State San Marcos, visited the site this summer to investigate and report on the turmoil of political and public relations in Guerrero. She traveled to a town near Acapulco to report on political processes and the up-rise of the EPR rebel army (the Popular Revolutionary Army). Backed by a human rights organization called Global Exchange, her group consisted of a few college students and two members of the Global Exchange program. Since her return, Powell has given eight presentations, including slides in classes at C SUSM. They r eveal social a gitation steadily increasing because of unstable relations between the lower classes and the Mexican government. The root of the conflict lies in the division between campesinos, or peasants, and the wealthy upper-class. The government perpetuates this agitation through neglecting the needs of much of Guerreros population by focusing exclusively on favoring the wealthy, according to Powell. In actuality, the entire Mexican political systems stability is threatened by the rise of EPR. Mexican politics are fashioned after the U.S. system of government. Though the country operates on democratic ideals, Mexican politicians show favor to their sources of financial support-wealthy land and corporation owners.

Statewide committees need students Program teaches special s tudents f unctional skills By Kathy Simpson Pride Staff Writer Have you e ver thought of the entire university as your classroom? F or one group of students, every aspect of c ampus life o ffers an chance t o learn. You've probably seen them. Waiting f or the elevator, eating lunch in the cafeteria, or in the restrooms. They are college-aged students enrolled in a special education class at Sierra Vista High School. They provide janitorial services on the CSUSM campus f our days a week—but, at the same time they use the c ampus as a classroom and learning envirorment. T he program, started by John Hull, gives these students the opportunity to learn, side by side with their non-disabled peers. They learn what Hull calls "critical skills." Each student has his o r her individual curriculum, based on their strengths and weaknesses. T he goal is to prepare them f or l ife a fter school. Part of this program includes developing vocational skills, since they enter the j ob market a fter they graduate. Currently, they provide custodial services to CSUSM, f or which they are paid. They work about nine hours a week. Another part of the program is teaching the students how to e njoy their money and leisure time. On their day o ff, they o ften take the bus to San Marcos to do some shopping, have lunch, or j ust hang out. They practice accessing the community. "This program i sn't f or all the students at Sierra Vista," said Hull. "Not all students would benefit f rom the prdg&fftt;" :c r i v sizlzztti: i Those chosen f or the class are the ones j udged most likely to benefit f rom this experience. T he instructors are specially trained to deal with these students. "We d on't teach this class in a classroom because a classroom i sn't the same as the way things are in the real world," says Hull. "The program focuses on skills that are functional. U seful stuff f or the real world. How to shop. How to use the bus. Getting around safely. Work skills. Appropriate behavior." Hull and his assistant, Kathy DeLar feel itfs important that the students be exposed to their non-disabled peers. "We learn more f rom our peers than anyone else. CSUSM students model the behavior of non-disabled young adults. T he types of behaviors we want our students to learn,i says DeLar. By being out in the community, the students can o bserve how p eople their o wn age act, interact, and behave.

TZe&ecca as hate actions hurt the victims, so they hurt the community at large. Such actions say to all of us that differences based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation are not acceptable, and that it may even be dangerous to b e d ifferent. Such behaviors drive us all to stick to our own kind, to be suspicious, to f eel unwelcome. What can I d o if I see or hear such expressions of hatred? Whether we are witnesses to hate actions or targets of them, the most important thing that each of us can and must do is report the incident to CSUSM Public Safety (750-3111). Even if the incident is small and you are unsure if it "counts" as a crime, report it. Let Public Safety decide whether it is a crime—they are trained to make these judgments. Moreover, the Public Safety o ffice is the one place where A LL information can b e centrally gathered, and therefore serves the campus by taking the pulse of the frequency and severity of such actions. What will happen to m e if I report it? T he Public Safety o fficer will simply interview you and try to get as much factual information as possible about the event. In most cases, nothing else will occur. In some cases, where an actual crime has happened, you may b e asked to testify at some later time. T he Public Safety o ffice will be extremely supportive towards anyone who f eels at risk in such a situation. What else can I do? In recent weeks, the campus f ocus has been on hate crimes and incidents that are based upon race. We are aware of other incidents that target lesbian, gay, and bisexual students. Please remember that expressions of hostility based on sexual orientation are similarly hateful. T here is a c ampus G ay/Lesbian/Bisexual Support Team comprised of students, faculty, and s taff. This group aims t o support G/L/B members of our campus c ommunity and to make the campus a s afe place f or all, a place f ree of hatred targeted towards sexual orientation. The G / L/B Support Team recommends that if anyone witnesses o r is the victim of hate incidents or crimes directed towards the G/L/B population, that they report it to the team in addition to reporting to Public Safety. T he team will compile information on hate activities based on sexual orientation, and will work with Public Safety towards providing safety f or all students. Let the team know of such hate activities by contacting P rofessor Don Barrett (Sociology, x 4161), Fritz Kreisler (CAPS, x4910), Linda Shaw (Sociology, x8026) or Henry Aronson (EOP, x4861). You may d o so by phone, note o r e-mail, and the team will accept anonymous reports. Fritz Kreisler is the Coordinator of Counseling & Psychological Services. ^tanc/uvuL 0f p UCf TZtiei&len, What ever happened to the good old days when teachers taught and students, well, d idn't? Those days when the teachers stood at the f ront of the room and talked while the students stared straight ahead and tried to stay awake. Everybody understood their roles and it is a premise upon During the October 21 Teach-in, Counseling & Psywhich this great country of ours was founded. So why is chological Services (CAPS) did a workshop on how to everybody trying to screw it u p? I 'm talking, of course, about peer groups. You know, cope with hate that i s directed at someone because of their those ridiculous little groups that we are forced to take race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. An important part in so that our teachers d on't have to d o any work issue that came up in our discussions was: what d o you d o themselves. W e're thrown together with f our or f ive other when you witness a hate crime or are the victim of o ne? students (we d on't even get to choose who they are) and Everyone agreed that such acts are deplorable, but how should we react to t hem? then told to critique each o ther's work. Some students f elt that the perpetrator should be conNow, on t he s urface, this all may sound innocent fronted on the spot, that the targeted person or group should enough. A fter all, it's probably true that all of us can learn something f rom every person we encounter. But, when it be defended and fought f or immediately.

They d idn't want enced p rofessor, trained in the subject matter, taught m e to put their own safety in jeopardy, yet they also d idn't what I needed to learn. T hat's why they get the big bucks, want to sit idly by and let it happen. While the f ocus of our workshop was on coping with hate that is directed at and t hat's why I pay them. I 've been in groups with people who d idn't bother to racial groups, the same rules apply to hate crimes and inwrite a p aper, but asked the rest of the group to cover f or cidents directed towards lesbians, gay, and bisexuals, or them if t he t eacher w alked by.

For the victims, there are not only threats to right t o show them my work as I see f it. Brainstorming with a g roup of p eople whose work I admire is one of my personal safety or property, but also clear messages that favorite things to d o and o ften brings to the surface some their lives and comfort are consistently endangered.

I mean, come on, it is the 90's. When campus members began coming forward with testimony of their own perseverances of racial hate, it was very easy to question the validity of what seemed such outlandish claims; especially at a university taking such pride in its mission of promoting ethnic diversity. Mission or no, there is a problem on campus. Graffiti on bathroom walls can be called isolated incidents, attributed to single, unassociated delinquents. Perhaps other attention depraved, maturity lacking persons could have added a swastika here or there, just to see if their malformed "art" would land a spot in the local papers the following morning. Some may be able to rationalize a student's vocal lashing of a professor in racial terms. I have heard people portray what might almost be called sympathy for the student in question, deeming that the professor's teaching was somehow provocative. But how can one explain threatening phone calls made to a student? I met with a student last month who confessed to being threatened over the phone. He also knew of at least two other students who had been threatened for their views on Affirmative Action programs. I do not question the presence of racism on this campus any longer. You can question the presence of institutionalized racism in the administrative ranks. It is, even those who believe it exists at Cal State San Marcos agree, hard to pinpoint. Are blatant acts so easy to grasp that they cannot be taken seriously? Perhaps many of us have seen too much graffiti to take seriously personal threats taking a similar form on bathroom walls. This situation is not limited to ju veniles spray painting swastikas on stall doors. Students and faculty are being threatened. The views of those being threatened are really unimportant. This university is designed to be a place where varying opinions can come together to create a better environment for all to learn and prosper. The emergence of racism needs to be taken seriously by every person on campus, whether we are dealing with three or 30 racist individuals.

Please recycle this newspaper To the Editor: * - Tam writing in response to the article written; about me in the November 13th edition of the Pride. When interviewing for this article I was very excited about sharing some of the incredible learning experiences involved in studying abroad through a recognized international program. After reading the article, I was disappointed by the slant that Ms. Gonzales puts on my experience abroad. This casts a poor image upon the program, generally, and me, specifically. I would like to highlight just a few of the important experiences that I emphasized in my interview, but were short changed in print. First, what were described as "side trips," were actually field studies for which I had extensively prepared. The Russia and Estonian trip was an extension of two classes: Russian Politics and Society and Nationalism and Minorities in Europe. In Russia we visited the University in Moscow and met with students where we partook in a round table discussion of stereotypes that each nationality had grown up with about each other. In Moscow we also visited the editor of an arts magazine and learned about the enforced propaganda and censoring of the past and present. Visiting Estonia, one of thefirstcountries that broke away from the Soviet Union, was amazing. This was especially interesting to me because of the research that I had been doing right before on the relations between Estonians and the Russian minority. Just being in Estonia and taking part in the programs involved in our trip really brought my research to life. The trip we took to northern Germany focused on the Danish minority that was established officially at the end of W.W.II. Included in the northern Germany trip was a visit to the NATO base in Jutland(the main part of Denmark). The day that we were there some Danish soldiers that had died while participating in NATO maneuvers were brought home, making it a day that I will always remember. Studying abroad is a complete experience, it is full of good and bad times, new friends and unfamiliar surroundings. After having studied 'abroad through many programs I have come to appreciate the year abroad program offered through the Cal State system. Cal State wants you to go f or a whole year because the principle is that you will get much more out of a year experience than just a semester. I can vouch for this concept. By the time November came around and it was pitch dark at 3 pm, I wasn't so excited about making it through the whole winter. But the experience was invaluable. I didn't give up and go home or hate Denmark. By staying the whole year I finally understood what the fever was about spring, I could understand what the check-out clerk at the grocery store had been yelling at me all year(it wasn't that she didn't like me, there was a pasta special on isle four)and most importantly through the Danish friendships that I developed I realized It would be wrong to go home with any negative stereotypes. Studying abroad is definitely more than fun and games. My experience last year gave me a new outlook on life academically, politically and personally. Learning to live in a new culture is exciting, challenging and rewarding. That is why the article written by Ms. Gonzales disappointed me. The experiences that I shared with her in my interview were taken too lightly and my year looks empty of all the hard work that went along with those good times. I d on't want students to read the article and think that studying abroad is an excuse to party and travel for a year and then get over there and be shocked with the realities. Cal State Offers year long programs in sixteen countries around the globe, from Australia to Zimbabwe. Majors are endless and in many countries like Denmark a language prerequisite is not required. I support these programs fully and encourage all students to study abroad.

P erhaps your readers would like to hear the other side of the story. Jill Ballard had gained a reputation in the c susm.flame war newsgroup, of being arrogant, rude, and intolerant of anybody w ho's views d iffered even slightly f rom h er's. B ased u pon my o bservations and dealings with M s. Ballard, i t's a well d eserved reputation. In her letter, she makes comments about being accused of "racism, d iscrimination, a nd d ictatorship". L et's look at these charges, shall we ? T he posting that led to her access being restricted was one that she posted in her role as president of the "Vegan & Animal Rights c lub", calling f or a boycott of the GSUSM Pow Wow, d ue to the f act that, in her words, " Some of the people there wear f ur in their hair". W hen it was pointed out that the Native American garb in question was based upon traditional designs and customs, her c omment w as that " no culture is primitive enough to deserve wearing f ur." W hile this might not b e racism per se, it certainly does show a incredible amount of arrogance regarding her views & ideas, and a incredible amount of intolerance and disrespect of the culture, history, and traditions oTahbther group.

I merely e xpressed an opinion on c susm.flamewar, excuse m e Rauch, it was not an invitation f or you (a LTWR graduate student) to misinterpret and grossly misquote my words. Did anyone notice how Rauch foiled to cite his sources of my supposedly discriminatory claims? So then Rauch claimed that I claimed that if I "were forced to allow such people to j oin," I "would not include them in club mailers, meetings, or activities." Lie number three! BALD faced lie. I NEVER EVER made such a claim nor have I ever, or even had the desire to d iscriminate a nyone w ho w anted t hem f rom receiving the club's announcements.

A s long as nobody tries to hinder the club f rom carrying out its f unctions then all people are welcome. A fter all these lies Rauch, a self admitted practicing speciesist, had the nerve to conclude his ietter by equating my "behavior" (according to his lies and value j udgments) to something he hoped students understood on "Oct. 21st." Please see False, Pg. 8 Carriovore agrees animal are different M s. Ballard, While sitting in the D ome, I read your letter t o the editor, R emember a nimals (The Pride, 10/30)." Dinning on a most delightful cheeseburger, I pondered your points with grease and ketchup-smeared fingers. " Animals a re d ifferentia1 d ifferent species," you claimed. I agree animal species are d ifferent. Cow meat does taste much d ifferent f rom chicken, and is certainly d ifferent in taste f rom deer. I have, h owever, f ound that liberal a mounts of ketchup will usually solve most of these taste-related d ifferences (see above). As to your statement, "Violence is violence no matter how you slice, dice, chop, o r cut i t," I must object. Watching my f ather artfully cutting slices of turkey b efore the a dmiring e yes of my f amily d uring Thanksgiving dinner is enough to bring m e t o tears. How could p lacing a p iece of breast meat, o r perhaps a bit of dark m eat, on the plate of a wide-eyed child b e c on- strued as violence? And how could the resulting t urkey l eftovers—turkey s andwiches, turkey noodle s oup, and turkey jerkey—all made by my m other's loving hands, be deemed the outcomes of violence? Even though I disagreed with your letter on one or two points, I hope you know that I 'll miss your thought-provoking letters and flyers-—seemingly posted everywhere here at CSUSM—when you graduate in December, and I pray that you w on't try to put Heinz out of business a lso—I need the ketchup. Herman Jones Junior Liberal Studies Is The Pride's staff chocked by success of a woman? Dear Editor, While reading the November 13th issue of T he Pride, I f ound the title of the article "Woman film maker t o speak" by Paul Hilker to be particularly interesting. Is it such a surprise to have a woman m aking f ilms that the fact was required in the title of the article? Or d o w e j ust assume that all film makers are men unless specifically identifies otherwise? I noticed she was African-American as well, so m aybe you should Have pointed out that an " African-American Woman film m aker" w as giving a speech. A f ew pages later, an article discussed how "Jordan's new film educates, entertains" did not require gender identification in t he title. N or was Jordan's ethnic background mentioned in the article. Likewise, t he article a nnouncing R udolfo A naya's reading lacked specific mention of his gender or ethnicity, despite the f act that writes o n t he "cultural heritage of New Mexico." Personally, I f ound myself m ore interested in which specific cultural heritage h e was writing about, and I consider such information to be f ar m ore relevant than the information imparted about Julie Dash's film m aking. I find D ash's s uccess f ar m ore worthy of announcement than her gender o r ethnicity. I hope in the f uture the staff of T he Pride will c ease to be so shocked by the success of a woman that they feel the need t o point out such things in the title of articles. Christine M . W.

It isn't the stuff of legend, but it was popular, and sold a lot of albums. O n h is n ew a lbum, " Mr. H appy G o L ucky," Mellencamp creates a more layered album than any of his previous efforts, while still maintaining the small town mentality that d efines him. Mellencamp pooled his talents with New York dance club mixer Junior Vasquez, who co-produced the album, giving it a strange mix between rock and roll and disco. I t's a subtle mix, as the synthetic beat d oesn't intrude with the conventional drumming or the jangly guitars. T he album is very deceptive f rom the beginning. T he title "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" seems to suggest a little cynicism and irony, as this is Mellencamp's first album since his fairly recent heart attack. At first glance, the title seems to express the j oy of surviving a serious health problem, but there is something much deeper. T he album's ten songs are also peppy and happygo-lucky on t he s urface. They b ear t he M idwestern storytelling and simplicity of life that most Mellencamp songs possess, but in a more edgy fashion. One of the most deceptive songs on the album i s "Full Catastrophe." While its chorus, " I'm glad to say I 've e njoyed everyday of the f ull catastrophe of l ife," may sound triumphant, it also doubles as a reflection on Mellencamp's brush with death. He keeps his music f rom becoming weepy or tragic, disregarding the meaning of a lyric f or the sake of rock and roll. Also suggestive of death is the a lbum's cover, which features Mellencamp and two young children sitting in f ront of what appear to be Jesus Christ and the Devil. Aside f rom being very a interesting photograph, it,too, has a double meaning. Mellencamp may reflect on his scars, but he does not dwell on them. His mid-life diary, no matter how you dissect it* still sounds like good rock and roll. His music continues to i mprove on each album. "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" is not without its flaws, but the f laws go thoroughly unnoticed.

'First Contact' is most accessable Trek Earn MP, experience By Gabe Lundeen Pride S taff Writer As any "Star Trek" fan can attest to, not every "Star Trek" movie has heid cinematic merit, or even been semi-entertaining. It almost seems that i t's done on purpose; the best "Trek" movies have all been the even-numbered ones. "Star Trek: First Contact," the eighth movie in the "Star Trek" series, continues this tradition. It is the first movie to f eature the cast of "Star Trek: T he Next Generation" alone, and it upholds the high standards of the award-winning television series. T he movie features the B org, one of " Star T rekis" most popular (and one-dimensional) villains. T he Borg are a race b ent on d estruction and assimilation of other cultures, with the motto, "Resistance is f utile." In "First Contact," the Borg travel to the past to destroy Earth and assimilate it, and the crew of the USS Enterprise must stop them and save humanity. "First C ontact" is extraordinarily violent f or a "Star Trek" movie. T his is some- what of an exception f or the "Next G eneration" cast who normally rely on diplomacy and peace to resolve their problems, and only use firepower as a last resort. Although the plot calls f or violence, it is not graiuiious, and is d one in an exciting f ashion. The trend of violence also is evident in the n ew s hip, t he U SS E nterprise-E. While the Enterprise-D (the ship used in the television show and destroyed at the end of "Star Trek: Generations") was larger, swan-like and representative of peace, the n ew m odel i s s mall, a erodynamic and streamlined f or war. T he new ship looks and acts m ore like a weapon and less like an envoy, c ontradicting the central idea behind "Star Trek: T he Next Generation." B ut o ther t han t he v iolence i ssue, " First C ontact" i s a g reat " Star T rek" movie. People often d o not give "Star Trek" its due, because of its large f an base and its science fiction slant. It really d oesn't get the respect it deserves. The cast is, o nce again, intact f rom the s eries a nd f ull o f f ine a ctors. P atrick S tewart, w ho p lays C aptain J ean-Luc P icard* i s a c lassically-trained Shakespearean actor, and provides another stellar performance that holds the movie together. Brent Spiner, as Data, is an e xcellent character actor, and really gets to display this talent throughput the movie. Making appearances in f ront of and behind the camera is Jonathan Frakes, who plays First Commander William Riker and also directs "First Contact." Frakes directed a number of episodes f rom the series, and c ontinues Leonard N imoy's tradition of starring in and directing "Star T rek" movies quite well. Of course, if y ou're a Trekkie, you are bound to e njoy the movie more. Fans will appreciate the restored elements f rom the show, such as the deadpan humor of Worf or Captain P icard's affectation f or hardboiled detective stories. But being a f an is not necessarily a prerequisite. Any action movie aficionado will enjoy "First Contact," because on the surface, i t's a good action movie. But "Star T rek" fans will enjoy it even more, as the demand f or a "Next Generation" movie has been high.

Student Health and Counseling Services makes return to campus By Jasmine Demers The HOPE and Wellness Center is also home to student run organizations that advocate for healthy lifestyles through peer education. Some of these organizations include Students Talking About Relationships and Sex (STARS), and Active Minds, a group whose purpose is to destigmatize mental illness. Victoria Sandoval, Peer Educator and President of Active Minds, explains how she got involved in these programs and what kind of influence she thinks peer education has on students. "I found the home of the Hope and Wellness last year News Editor CSUSM is celebrating the return of a campus organization that is dedicated to raising awareness for issues concerning student health, and providing services that promote the strength and well being of the student community.

Latin@ Center to be opened at CSUSM this year Raza Center movement reaches important milestone By Katlin Sweeney Editor-in-Chief Many members of the campus community and surrounding San Marcos area saw their dream become a reality when President Haynes announced that CSUSM will implement a Latin® Center this year. On Jan. 28, President Haynes notified the campus populace of the news through an email from the Office of the President, confirming CSUSM's plans to move forward with the creation of what was formerly referred to as the "Raza Center." In her email, Haynes announced that the Latin® Center would open in fall 2015 and be located in the USU, a process that will be overseen by Dr. Lorena Meza, Vice President of Student Affairs. According to Haynes, Meza will also oversee the development Photo courtesy of United Students of Color Coalition Members of groups including M E.ChA., USCC, and STAND at one of the first meetings to plan the Raza/Latin@ Center at CSUSM. of "operational structure, budget, location and timeline for the Center's opening." While the implementation of the Latin® Center may come as a surprise to some, many members of the campus and local community have been working to bring this center to CSUSM for more than a year. CSUSM is considered a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 4,036 of its 11300 students identifying as Hispanic or Latino/a in 2014. This translates to approximately 35.6 percent of the entire student population on campus, a percentage only surpassed by the Caucasian student population of approximately 35.8 percent. Due to the demographics of the campus and surrounding communities, student organizations such as United Students of Color Coalition (USCC), M E.ChA., Ballet Folklorico and S.TA.N.D. have participated in starting conversations demonstrating the need for a center at CSUSM. Methods for raising awareness have included drafting a petition which garnered about 600 signatures in total, meeting with Dr. Arturo Ocampo, Associate Vice President of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and creating the hashtag #RazaCenterCSUSM. In 2014, Cipriano Vargas, former Vice President of Operations on ASI's Board of Directors (BoD), met with members of these and other student orgs, to draft the ASI Resolution for a Latino/Hispanic center on campus. The BoD voted in favor of the Resolution on Feb. 28,2014, and it was then sent to President Haynes to be either approved or dismissed. Haynes approved the Resolution and created a work group that was tasked with depicting how to implement the center at CSUSM, as well as how it could benefit students. These proposals were submitted for review this past December. Now Meza and her search committee will begin looking for candidates to fill the position of the Latin@ Center's assistant director. The Center will support not only Hispanic and Latino/a students on campus, but the entire campus community in an effort to celebrate Latin @ culture and provide important resources for success. �News Editor: Jasmine Demers cougarchron.news@gmail.com Campus events aim to increase student involvement B y Sydney Schabacker Senior Staff Writer CSUSM traveled back in time and revisited the 1990s, with its hallmark plaid clothes, denim, Capri Sun drinks and ring pops as a way of providing its students with an enjoyable social opportunity with their fellow Cougars. Hosted by Associated Student Inc. (ASI) and the University Student Union Activities Board (USUAB), the '90's themed dance was held on Jan. 23 at the Clarke Field House and was the first of many events that these organizations plan to promote this semester. ASI and USUAB are the lead coordinators for fun events on campus, such as last semester's Masquerade Ball. By collaborating with other on-campus organizations, they plan to hold a variety of events that will offer CSUSM students affordable, safe and interesting entertainment. ASI Representative Hannah Hawker explains the importance of these events and the goals that they are trying to achieve. "We want to gauge the college culture, to see if it's changing. We want to attract all types of students. We've noticed that the students, underclassmen fresh from high school especially, really like the dances. It's a free and/or cheap way to have fun," Hawker said. Past events, such as the CSUSMixer last semester, have proven to be successful by bringing together a diverse crowd of students for fun mingling. USUAB representative Kadie Heck also comments on the events that are geared towards student interaction, specifically organized dances. "For those reminisc- Photo Courtesy of USUAB Marketing Assistants ing about prom night, it's a good time to get formal and have fun," Heck said. Outside of dances, these organizations are putting together many other events as well. There are free movies the first Tuesday of every month at Edwards Cinema, USU excursions (like Disneyland last semester), Cougar Eats, a Valentine's Day movie and many more events.

"It's a community effort. We want to know what you [the students] think," Heck said. Letting the organizing committees know there is minimal interest in some events will allow them to concentrate efforts on what more people enjoy. "We want everyone's col- lege experience to be the best we can make it," Heck said. For students who want to put their social or organizational skills to good use, ASI and USUAB are fun options for community involvement. The student population is better represented with an increase of involvement and feedback. "We want students to know that we're a resource," Hawker said. College is a time to have f un, meet more people and learn about new things you may enjoy.

CSUSM's Study Abroad Sessions provide students with the information and resources necessary to begin a journey to a foreign country. These opportunities allow students to not only continue major-specific study, but to become more cultured and grow as individuals as well. "[Studying abroad] will stretch you in wonderful ways... and is a key feature of growing up," said Tiffany Gabbard, Study Abroad Coordinator. "You have to put yourself out there."

At these information sessions, student questions are answered and the steps necessary to studying abroad will be discussed. Topics that are also explained include types of programs that are offered, length of time away from home, how to choose a country based on major, finances, financial aid and scholarships. "Our Info Sessions...cover a lot of questions that prospective study abroad students have and give them a good idea of the many wonderful overseas options they can explore," said Danielle Baldo, a Study Abroad Advisor and former study abroad student. Baldo also emphasizes the reasons why study abroad abroad experience, I've seen myself become more involved and more focused about my future," Baldo said. "At times I think college students become so overwhelmed with their lives and future that they shut out new opportunities just because they want to graduate, doing anything to get by.

By N icole Holman and Jasmine Demers A ssistant N ews E ditor & N ews E ditor CSUSM students are learning how to fight back against domestic and sexual abuse through a hands-on campus training program. Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D), the world's largest self-defense program, is dedicated to teaching women practical and effective techniques to prevent assault. Courses are available to all women attending CSUSM and are taught by nationally certified defense instructors. Classes cover a range of topics, including how to react in high-risk situations and hands-on defense techniques. R.A.D Instructor, Matthew Curran, explains the importance of adopting habits that will work to increase your personal safety. "One of the ways women can avoid becoming targets is to always be aware of their surroundings," Curran said. "If you feel something is out of place, act on it. Don't ignore your gut instinct. If you feel that something is wrong or that someone is giving you a bad vibe, listen to that feeling and get yourself somewhere safe. It's better to be safe than sorry." Curran also goes on to highlight the reasons why it is so important for women to take advantage of self- defense training, specifically in a college setting. "Any female can benefit from learning how to better defend herself in high-risk situations .Their self-confidence improves and they are more aware, especially in college, where this is many students' first time on their own and away from their parents," Curran said. Melissa Olmos, CSUSM student and R A.D Training participant, explains that she wanted to take the course for reasons of selffulfillment and practice. "You can always improve your skills in order to catch attackers off-guard. Even if you feel that you are prepared, i tV always good to keep yourself in practice," Olmos said. She also goes on to explain the ways that she feels she has benefitted from the training itself, and how she plans to use it in the future. "I feel like there's a lot of individual growth that takes place during this training," Olmos said. "You're learning how to be prepared. You can also take what you learn and share it with your friends so that they can be safer, too." Staying safe has become an increasing concern on college campuses, with reports showing that at least one in four college women will experience sexual assault. The CSUSM campus itself has been affected by similar cases, such as the investigation of the unaffiliated fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. Last semester, TKE was under investigation for multiple sexual assault allegations. Added to these reports were other criminal activities such as hazing, providing illegal drugs and alcohol to minors and vandalism. At the start of December 2014, campus police served TKE with search warrants at two different locations where they found evidence to support these allegations. According to the police report, evidence retrieved at the locations included $1,000 in cash, human growth hormones, marijuana, cocaine, LSD, What started out as a few passionate people creating a project to take a stand against cultural appropriation has become a three-month-long exhibition of student photographed and designed posters in Kellogg Library. These posters are unlike other anti-racism and antistereotyping campaigns. They feature the faces of CSUSM students, photographed by their peers, taking a stand against the cultural appropriation that marginalized communities face on a regular basis. Individuals are depicted ripping apart photographs of offensive Halloween costumes that stereotype various cultures such as Latino/a, American Indian and African American. Models for these posters include individuals such as Amiyonette Hesaynehe Goodblanket and Carlos Morales, who are also featured on the fliers pro- been part of such a dynamic moting the poster unveiling. group of individuals and orThe campaign's powerful ganizations on this campus," motto is emblazoned across Tracey Engleton, current PR the posters and fliers: "There Club member and former PR is more to me than what you Club President, said.

College campuses and students have begun taking matters into their own hands by organizing self-defense and sexual assault awareness campaigns. The newly opened H.O.P.E. (Health, Outreach, Promotion, Education) and Wellness Center offers many support programs for those who have been a victim of assault of any kind.

"The new SHCS Building is going to benefit the campus in so many ways. I am an RA for the UVA and I have had times where residents needed to go to the clinic but could not due to transportation issues," Sandoval said. "The convenience of the building will allow students direct access to health services. Also I have seen that students feel more comfortable knowing that in case of an emergency... the clinic is there, accessible, and ready to help." Sandoval also explains how rewarding her experience has been while working as a Peer Educator and being a part of such an important campus organization. "The whole outreach portion of the SHCS has blessed me with so many opportuni- ties such as this one, through being apart of their amazing student team," Sandoval said. "Everyone in the clinic inspires me in different ways being that their personal jobs all give back to the students of CSUSM in a unique way. I feel the genuine effort every staff member gives whether they are direct counselors/ educators or those that work the magic behind the scenes." CSUSM students are encouraged to get involved and help spread awareness about health issues on campus.

Students enrolled in the program will learn essential skills applicable to a wide range of careers. Program Director Dr. Sharon Hamill explained that the CHAD program's focus is on the empirical understanding of the development of children and adolescents." Graduates will have the skills necessary to work with families and know how to best cater to the specific needs of individual children. In addition to being prepared for child care related jobs, graduates will better understand the behaviors of children in a multi-faceted manner and become better suited to efficiently handle a variety of both professional and personal situations. In families where both parents work, child services are a necessity and high quality care is vital for proper development. According to Forbes, only 10 percent of childcare programs can be identified as "high quality." This creates a .large market for trained individuals in the field of adolescent development. The U.S. federal government has also acknowledged the need for improved child care. Two bipartisan bills were signed into effect in 2014, making background checks and annual inspections a requirement f or child care workers. In January, Speaker of the House John Boehner met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on 60 Minutes to discuss the state of American child care.. During the interview Boehner said, "in the overall context of simplifying our tax code and bringing rates down for everyone — simply improving access to child care isn't universally good if the quality of care doesn't improve too." Dr. Hamill and her coworkers have been working to make the degree available to students for the last 10 years. The recent national focus on child care is perfectly timed with the introduction of the program. When asked about the recent political movements, Hamill said, "We built the degree in part with that bill in mind." CSUSM students who graduate with a degree in Child and Adolescent development will be prepared to fill the need for skilled specialists in a growing industry.

The CSUSM Women's Track and Field team begin their indoor season on Feb. 7, 2015. What exactly is indoor track? Indoor track takes place in an indoor arena, as opposed to outside as many of us are accustomed to. Indoor also has differ- ent events to compete in that outdoor track does not have. For instance, indoor competitors race in a 60 meter hurdle race whereas outdoor hurdlers duke it out at a distance of 100 meters. Track and Field is just as much a mental sport as it is a physical sport. If you come out to a practice any given day, you see athletes slumped over with agony all over their faces, and if you are not mentally tough, you will not be able to finish a workout. The sight of agony is a coach's delight however, because it means the intense workouts are doing their job. With all the tough practices, it would almost be blasphemous to not see benefits when it is time for competition. That is exactly why athletes on the CSUSM team are primed to improve on their speed from last year. Sophomore Kamarria Rehn and Senior Brittany Hollie are a few that are poised for a takeover at the National Championships. "One of my goals this season is to finish in a higher ranking," Hollie said. "I finished seventh last year, so I want to try and go top five this year." Yes, you read correct: top five. Considering how difficult it is to even be ranked at all, this would be a lofty goal for anyone to set, but for Hollie, it is nothing short of fully achievable. Almost similar aspirations were also true for the sophomore athlete. "I'm hoping I can run a fast enough time to go to Nationals," Rehn said. "The goal is to run a faster time than what I did last season." Both Hollie and Rehn are striving to do better and that may not be a coinci- Photo by Chris Morales Cougars' home field track has been prepped for an outstanding season. dence. Based off those two alone, the mindset of the Women's Track and Field team is to reach Nationals and compete at the highest level. Head Coach Scott and Assistant Coach Wes are known to coach athletes to success. This year should be no different as we look to see that twenty-third ranking improve.

The team returns many accomplished and experienced players including A.I.I. Conference honorees, Tani Leasau, Melyssa Bellamy, Ashley Dagenais and Katie Wilkinson. Senior second baseman, Olivia Lucatuorto has been a starter the prior three seasons with the team and she intends to end her last hurrah on a high note. "I'm sad about this being my last season, but I am also excited because I feel like this will be our best season," Lucatuorto said. "I want be a leader for everyone and step up for everyone here and I think we can all be successful as a team."

Having a set time can help build a regiment of exercise into a busy school schedule. Fitting in at least an hour a day, three days a week can drastically improve an individual's health. Having a schedule can also help make it easier to plan studying around your schedule because you'll know what to expect during the upcoming weeks. 3. "Just Do It" Nike hit the nail on the head with this iconic three-word slogan: walking, running, bicycling, basketball, tennis; volleyball, swimming," yoga; the list of activities can go on. You've already dedicated the time to exercise so all you have to do now is, "just do it." Just get out there and do something, anything! Get out and dribble a basketball, take a walk around the block, go on a hike or my personal favorite, try to walk every step at CSUSM. 4. Have Fun! It's easy to get into a redundant regiment of working out the same muscles, on the same machine, at the same gym, seeing the same people; so mix up your workouts to keep things fresh. Try out a new sport or run a different route. Do something you like to do instead of doing workouts just to "look good." People look their best when smiling, so find something you love and stick with it. Along with an academic workout, the spring semester is a great time to start getting healthy for the upcoming spring break! Benefits of personal trainer By Burtland Dixon Sports Editor A beach trip is coming up and you are no longer self-conscious about your appearance. Your body is fit and you want to showcase it any chance you get. For many, that just isn't a desire anymore and in fact, is a reality. Others are still dreaming with their eyes open and second guessing getting in the pool at the party they were recently invited to. How do they stop the dreaming? Our society has seen a huge cultural shift with people wanting to be fit and being a part of the popular #gymselfie movement on social networks. We've seen fitness guys and girls hop on the Herbalife train having it escort them to a land of chiseled pecks and toned calves. And who can forget about the LA Fitness employees handing out those infamous orange three day trial cards and leaving them on our windshields? There are plenty of methods to get fit, but there is one way in partic- Photo by Cody Cook Personal trainer Kyle Johnson awaits future clients. ular that is sure fired help. "If a client wants a personal trainer, it's nice for them because they can get a personalized workout program made specifically for them and what fitness goals they have," said Brendyn Heath, CSUSM's highly acclaimed trainer. "If they had no clue on what to do in the gym before, they will have a much better understanding of fitness and exercising after." Nevertheless, it is completely reasonable to those who are full-time students, have a job and spend their free time with studying and homework; no knock to your hustle. However, to those who just are not motivated or say they do not want to go to the gym because they have not the slightest clue where to start, fret no more. A personal trainer is just what you need. CSUSM offers a plethora of services and activities, and hiring your own trainer is one of them. The pool party and selfies await you. �Sports Editor: Burdand Dixon cougarchron.sports@gmail.com R emembering S tuart S cott A tribute to a sports broadcasting icon By Burtland Dixon Sports Editor The year was 1993 when ESPN hired what turned out to be one of their most special employees to this day. The sports world was certainly unprepared for what was to come next, but it was surely overdue. There are some people in life who seem to just get it, whatever it may be, and Stuart Scott is truly one of those people. From his catchphrases to his fervor towards whatever he was doing, audiences who tuned in to watch him discuss sports always walked away satisfied. As the years went by during his stint at ESPN, Stuart's popularity began ris- face vocabulary, such as "Boo-Yah!" or "Just call him butter cause he's on a roll." Stuart was one of a kind. "Stuart was a pioneer, he brought a style to sports commentary that was exciting and upbeat, and he also took pride in what he did," fourth-year CSUSM student, Chris Melendez, said.

Living on the coast of California, we often forget how close we are to many sources of fresh seafood. Lobster is an easy meal to make at home, as it is often overpriced at restaurants, where a single lobster can cost upwards of $40. Luckily, raw lobster tails are available at Costco and other supermarkets for $8-15 a tail, which is comparable to a home cooked steak. It is important to note that because of their small claws, the meat of California lobsters is nearly all in the tail, making them even easier to cook than a Maine lobster.

Here at Cal State San Marcos, Metcalfe is a Professor of Literature with eight years under her belt, but initially, she wanted to obtain a degree in acting and directing due to her love for theater. She ultimately ended up teaching Intro to Literature because she loved reading so much. Even though she did not go into theater, Metcalfe says that she loves her job as a professor here at CSUSM, but on the other hand while laughing and shaking her finger from side to side she adds, "What I don't like is grading papers!" When asked what her dream job would be had she gone a different route, her eyes begin to glisten as she says, "acting." "I actually still have fantasies of when and if I retire, maybe doing community theater. I think that this was more feasible, working as a professor, in terms of being able to support myself than taking my chances like some many brave people do and trying to make it in the theater; so it's more of a practical choice that's worked out very well." And if she could have magical powers she declared while giggling, "I would enlighten everyone, I would have everyone on the planet achieve instant enlightenment!" As for advice that not only fellow literature majors can take from, but anyone else as well, Metcalfe cites passion as a good motivator. "You have to do something that you genuinely love. And sometimes it doesn't look very practical, but if it's something you love, you will find a way to make it work in your life and you won't hate yourself for making the wrong choice and you won't burn out and get bored. Joseph Campbell, a famous student of mythology said, 'Follow your bliss,' and I think he was right." �Features Editor: Collin Vaz cougarchron.features@gmail.com S H I N E LIKE A STAR Astrology, retrograde and horoscopes structure of going in order, able to stay in my observer?

F ASHION C OMMENTARY Designers debut new and old trends By Collin Vaz Features Editor Curious minds packed the USU ballroom for the Student Organization Fair, which showcased a broad spectrum of student-led groups. The event took place on Jan. 29 and included advocacy-focused clubs, career-oriented societies and club sports. There was something for every niche and interest to enjoy. The new USU ballroom was an excellent venue offering plenty of room for the 70 clubs present at the event. Each organization had a desk set up with candy, fliers and sign-up sheets. Students who attended were able to ask questions and meet members of the clubs. Each organization offered something special and unique. The Anthropology Club was especially interesting to attendees as they are in charge of the ethnobotanical garden on campus. Skulls and books full of tribal drawings were spread across their table.

To some it's a rallying cry, others are apathetic and still more consider it, with a snort of derision, as the preferred term with a cynical lens directed toward a day celebrating a celibate Christian martyr. Valentine's Day, despite its religious roots, has developed into a secular holiday full of amorous ambitions and Ben & Jerry's. The term, Single's Awareness Day, was created to direct attention toward a crowd that is not within the celebrating demographic of the holiday. However, the present tense is used because the term has largely turned into a larger joke than it was at its inception. There are no maroon cards shaped like anatomically correct hearts to hand out to friends and acquaintances and no apathetically wrapped gift boxes. Television networks would be hard pressed to air anything other than films about love. Ultimately, the only change garnered with these words is a short-lived sense of comradery with whoever uttered By Lexy Perez Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor Photo Illustration by Nick it, followed by an awkward high five and the subsequent repression of any unpleasant memories that come as a result of the interaction. So if not Single's Awareness Day, then what do those without a date do to bring attention to themselves? The answer is quite simple: nothing. Valentine's Day is a commercialized mess to the point that the fact that there isn't a Charlie Brown special on it is quite surprising. But beyond capitalistic aimed cynicism, there's no real reason to get into a mood that requires making a joke about the name of a holiday. While some rush around to get chocolates and flowers for their sweetheart, a person of the non-committed persuasion can exploit the Nootbaar cheaper prices for chocolate and flowers while potentially enjoying a good romantic comedy film later in the evening. Dining out becomes considerably more simple as single and odd numbered parties can get in much quicker than couples that always pack the establishments. Let the couples of the world have their holiday with deep red roses, absurd lines at restaurants and boxes of chocolate shaped like rear ends. A name is a small concession to pay for the benefits taken advantage of by all parties. May the joke of bringing awareness to those lacking in paramours be done with and instead be used as a chance to take advantage of its rampant commercialism through candy. Why history is best major Attention to all you hopeless romantics, Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Whether you're in a relationship or choosing to dub that Saturday as "Single Awareness Day," it's the one day that people tend to stress over more than Christmas. This holiday has a reputation in which extravagant surprises take place, marathons of sappy love movies air on television and love songs to set the mood play on repeat. I don't know about you, but it never fails to bring out every PDAcentered couple to surround every inch of outside civilization. (Note: Love is a beautiful thing, but nobody really needs to see whose chapstick can last longer.) It's a time where girls can finally have a reasonable excuse to take Forrest Gump's offer of having that savory box of chocolate, as if we need a day to remind us of the necessity of life that is chocolate. While the idea of Valentine's Day is nice, it seems as if the male population is slowly starting to dread the approaching love shenanigans. Valentine's Day has altered its name to: "Don't Screw It Up Day." Here's a little advice to all you guys feeling the pressure and stress to give that special someone a day to remember: Stop thinking so much, but please don't run away from the day. It would* be a lie to not admit that the media can create fictional fantasies filled with nothing but candlelit dinners, bouquets of roses, extravagant gestures, blinged-out gifts and males being every inch the Prince Charming that seems to be so rare to find in the real world. While the glitz, glam and Prince Charming fantasy seems nice, is it that shocking to consider that maybe all of it isn't necessarily needed to make that special someone happy? If you want to go all out and try to be that Prince Charming I think every guy can be, but secretly protests by committing all your love to video games and food, then go right ahead. But deep down, not all girls want just those knight in shining armor moments. Sometimes the smallest gestures are just as meaningful. Forget the candlelit din- ner and stay in for a movie night marathon together because maybe having alone, cuddle time beats being out in public with every couple in America. Don't break your wallet trying to get that diamond jewelry that will add more stress to your already long list of "Oh, I need to pay for that" pile. Get your significant other a box of pizza in the shape of heart, because no matter how much we can try to fight it, carbs will always be a girl's best friend. You don't need to get a myriad of gifts to prove your love, just take the time to talk and reflect on the feelings you have, but sometimes forget to express. Communication goes a long way and what better way to surprise her than by expressing your thought bubble, the one she secretly always wonders what it contains? The moral of this day isn't to stress so much but to just enjoy spending time with whoever makes you happy. It would be a shame to run away from the day out of fear of "messing up." Life is already stressful, so why add more on a day that simply calls for the little things to celebrate something special? The world in the palm of your hand By Erich Allen StaffWriter If you're undecided as to what major to declare at CSUSM, or if you already have, I encourage you to pursue a degree in history. History as a discipline is critical in the analysis of self-identity, and facilitates the building of tools required for any and every investigatory task. It also effectually operates as a compilation of all human activity and discovery; therefore, as a practice it delves into all regions of academia. Everyone likes history, because everyone does history. This is not a reference to the proverbial "You make history, everyday" trite. Historiography, the process of doing history, is the process of evaluating the relevant information regarding a specified topic for the purpose of building an argument. One analyzes the primary evidence (sources from the time period) and the secondary evidence (investigations by scholarly experts) so as to develop a complete and thorough conclusion. That's all history entails: making arguments based off of the evidence. But the possibilities are endless, as history is not merely the study of what hap- pened, but why it happened. We frequently use this process in our own lives. For example, if I want to understand why I received a poor grade on an written exam, I review the questions I got wrong, areas of the study guide or textbook that I overlooked, and my own notes (primary), as well as professor comments and/or input from fellow students who received better scores (secondary). History is a tool by which we discover ourselves. Our individual identity is most completely established with a structured analysis of our decisions, worldview and the actions that have occurred within or without our control. To understand these things, we may initially make assertions based in the present, but we ultimately always delve into the past to substantiate those assertions. We look at the big events in our lives, such as a significant award, an act of compassion by friends, a breakup, council from trusted advisors, getting hired for a job, an ideological revelation or winning/losing a game. History is investigating what lead up to those events, and how those events affect us now. Understanding these causes and effects makes one a master of themselves by strengthening their capability to assess their own thoughts and ac- tions to prepare a better approach to future situations. If one then uses this process for broader applications, they can become masters of their own peripheral reality through understanding. The same historiographical process that one uses on oneself can be applied to the entirety of human history. It is this aspect that elevates the historian (which any of us can be) to the position of academic mastery, a scholastic jack-ofall-trades. History, in relation to the past, is the culmination of all human thought and action. The entirety of human experience is open ground for investigation, and indeed is necessary for a complete understanding of why the world is the way it is. Thus, history entails every academic discipline in the human intellectual arsenal. From political science to chemistry, literature to cartography, all is relevant and necessary for a complete and thorough study of the past. History is a smorgasbord of knowledge, a buffet of information, the seven-layer dip of the intellectual diet. It makes one a master of themselves as well as the world around them. Because of its profound potential for understanding through application, history puts the world in one's hands, which is why I urge you to consider majoring in history.

I'ni not alone. I know other students have been in the same boat, as certain classes have had to turn away droves of waitlisted and crashing students in recent semesters. Two semesters ago, a student supposedly petitioned to have "LTWR 317 - technical writing" added to the schedule, and 28 people said they would join that class the next semester before it even was listed. Classes on technical writing and "small press publishing", as well as various writing workshops and creative writing courses, have been in the Literature & Writing Studies catalogue since I transferred here in Fall 2012. Yet, in the case of small press publishing and technical writing, I have never been able to enroll either because of class size limitations or the fact that they have not been offered. Classes like technical writing and publishing promise skills that many Literature and Writing students would benefit to have on their resume. Many of us intend to go into careers related to these subjects. Dane Vandervelden, a CSUSM grad recently shared with me how he doesn't feel this college did a good job preparing students for the submitting and publishing process as a writer with a degree. Another course not offered at CSUSM is grant writing. I have gone so far as to take this through GrossmontCuyamaca online adult education, for the affordable price of $84.1 encourage other students to find valuable courses outside of CSUSM and share with The Cougar Chronicle and their fellow students where these more career-specific classes can be found. Also, what skills do you believe would make you more valuable as an employee after graduation? Does CSUSM offer them?

Thank you, Sarah Hughes Tips for successful semesteretter Talking yourself to b comprehension By Noelle Friedberg Opinion Editor With the start of another semester comes the same dream of good grades and success in the classroom. One sure-fire way to help these dreams come to fruition is to talk about what you're learning in class outside of the classroom. By this I mean that talking about the material you're learning in any given class outside of the classroom, be it with friends, family, coworkers, etc., will help you to do better in your classes. Let's say you're in a marine biology class and you're learning about coastal bluff erosion. If you're not remembering all of the needed information as well as you would like, try explaining how bluff erosion occurs to someone who isn't in the class with you. If no one wants to listen to you talk about it, try taking them to the beach and explaining it to ••HHHflH W hen you're & p art o f i ke C IA»you call. mÊÊÊÊm The CIA has paid student internship, scholarshlpand co-op several fields of study.

Or perhaps you're in a history class and you're trying to remember the specifics of the American Civil War. Talk with someone about it. Explain the different battles to them. Use your notes or your textbook or whatever you have to do to have a conversation with someone about the things that will be on your test, or that you have to write an essay about. The reason I say all of this is that talking about school outside of school does so much to help you better remember and understand the concepts you need to know in order to do well in your classes. So next time you're feeling stuck in school or are having a hard time remembering what you're learning, try talking with someone about what you've been discussing and reading in class and see if it doesn't help you turn things around. �A & E Editor: Faith Orcino cougarchron.arts@gmail.com MOVIE REVIEW 4 / 5 P AWS Ringing in the new year with "The Wedding Ringer" By Lexy Perez Assistant Entertainment Editor It's a new year, which means the next "bromanctic" duo enters the movie theater screens. This new duo hopes to get a chuckle out of anyone willing to see a story that has been told in previous films, but is the first one to reinvent it for a new year. Popular stand-up comedian Kevin James and Josh Gad (the man behind the voice of Olaf in "Frozen") star in "The Wedding Ringer," a film about two guys that are nothing alike, yet find an unlikely bond that screams "sappy, bromance" level friendship. Doug (Gad) is a lonely, yet wealthy outcast failing to be the "cool guy" every male wants to be friends with. Surprisingly enough, he is about to marry his "miracle girl," Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) but is faced with a predicament of not having a best man or a posse of groomsmen to stand beside him on his wedding day. Enter Jimmy (Hart), the man behind Best Man MOVIE Inc., a business that allows lonely men, like Doug, to rent-a-best-man for their wedding days. While most men simply need a best man, Jimmy is forced to attempt "The Golden Tux" for Doug, in which he must provide fullservice treatment: acquiring groomsmen, throwing a bachelor party, making speeches and creating stories that convincingly portray fake life-long friendships with all of them. Jimmy not only searches for a group of eligible groomsmen, but REVIEW also must make them be the "best friends" Doug has always had and never introduced to his bride-to-be. It's not that hard to assume what the rest of the movie will play out: dysfunctional moments bonding with Doug's future in-laws, the introduction and bonding with his "best friends" and nonstop comedic banter and occurrences while Jimmy attempts to teach Doug how to be the "cool guy" he always dreamed of being. A bromance movie wouldn't be complete with- out the deep, cheesy bonding moments that exemplify a once client-businessman relationship to a blossoming friendship that allows both Doug and Jimmy to grow as individuals. Doug progresses into becoming someone he feels happier with, while Jimmy realizes the true importance and meaning of his business and himself as a "best man." While the film is just another story to add to the already list of "unlikely duos becoming the best of friends" films, it is both Hart's and Gad's comedic wit that makes the film. Throughout the film, it seems as if Hart successfully brings out the comedic chops of Gad, for he is a newcomer acting alongside an already established comedian. While a newcomer, Gad successfully brought out Hart's sweet side, representing a deeper, more relatable character. This film will not only bring you laughs, but it's also another film that portrays two guys whom you can't help but root for as they become genuine best friends. 4 / 5 P AWS The Guardians of the Galaxy rocks the universe By Zach Schanzenbach fans of sci-fi and/or Marvel will also have a fun time.

Hardcore Marvel fans will also be happy with the nod this movie gives to "Avengers" with a brief cameo by the dark character "The Other," as well as a humorous scene at the end featuring the infamous Howard the Duck. We finally get our first, full glimpse of the villain Thanos, who briefly appeared at the end of "Avengers." On the downside, Ronan the Destroyer and his assistants don't break a lot of ground as villains. And why is there so much swearing?

While the results of saidbattle are just what I expected, the actual battle itself was more original than what I 'm used to. I 'm not sure why there was snow and ice around them, but Bard did say that winter was coming, so it's not out of place. And how did it end? Thorin killed Azog, and Azog killed Thorin. There were two things, and two things only, that majorly disappointed me in this movie. One of them, brought back from the last movie, was the once-implied romance between Kili the dwarf and Tauriel the elf. They should have left it as "implied," but they didn't. Nope, they just had to let the romance bloom. The other majorly disappointing thing about this movie was the ending, by which I mean everything following Azog's death. I remember well how Thorin passed away in the animated version of The Hobbit from before I was born: it was long, somber and a heartjerker. Here? Just a few last words to make amends with Bilbo before the hobbit weeps for his dead friend. The end of the main story has Bilbo returning to his home, only to find the hobbits in the village auctioning off his stuff, as he is presumed dead. An indignant Bilbo makes things straight and returns home a changed hobbit. You'd think he'd settle down, but instead his focus is on the ring. Next thing we know, it's sixty years later all over again. I would have been more satisfied if there was a sense of resolution to this story. Sure, you can give a nod to the future adventure that Frodo will embark on, but here, everything exists to point to that adventure. It's almost like Peter Jackson is using these movies to say, "Go watch The Lord of the Rings!" On the whole, I can't complain too much. "The Battle of the Five Armies" is a satisfying third film; it's a good conclusion overall. But why is it called the defining chapter? Because it's the last Illustration film that involves an official story from Middle Earth? Yeah, right. I know how Hollywood is nowadays: they always try to milk every last drop out of a franchise. And I 'll have you know right now that Tolk- courtesy ofIMBD.com ien's Middle Earth is FAR from out of content to work with (see The Silmarillion). The Battle of the Five Armies is definitely epic. But is it the defining chapter in the Middle Earth saga? I highly doubt it. �A & E Editor: Faith O rcino cougarchronarts@gmail.com North County Arts Network seeks aid By Anne Hall StaffWriter This month, CSUSM hosted the first of a series of events by North County Arts Network in an effort to increase the amount of resources and opportunities available to artists. The North County Arts Network (NCAN) group, developed by the California Arts Council and the San Diego Board of Supervisors, introduced ideas for the nurturing, expansion and growth of artistic endeavors in San Diego County and the State of California. Their goal is to establish a strong foundation for funding the art culture within our region during 2015. The meeting was on Jan.15 and hosted various representatives from all over San Diego County, including the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, the North Coast Repertory Theatre, the Oceanside Museum of Art, representatives of various school boards, teachers, artists and enthusiasts. The North County Arts Network hopes to gain momentum in finding individuals to help with marketing, fundraising, brainstorming implementation techniques, and so much more. "[It is a] collaborative movement to raise the arts incorporation in San Diego culture," said Craig Watson, keynote speaker and Director of the California Arts Council. Many of the spectators of the evening's presentation voiced their excitement for the upcoming plans, including CSUSM's Community Liaison, Marilyn Huerta. If this movement becomes a success, it could lead to a great deal of possibilities for our community. Focuses include (but are not limited to) reincorporating the arts in education, beautification of San Diego communities, rehabilitation and art therapy. If interested in helping the cause, attend any or all of the NCAN's future networking events: 5 p.m. on April 16 at the Escondido Center for the Arts 340 North Escondido Blvd. Escondido, CA 92025 5 p jn. on July 16 at the Lux Art Institute 1550 South El Camino Real Encinitas,CA 92024 5 p.m. on Oct. 15 at the Oceanside Museum of Art 704 Pier View Way Oceanside, CA 92054 VIDEO GAME R E V I E W d ragon Age: Inquisition" Photo courtesy ofEA Games By Will McCurdy Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief After Bioware finished their "Knights of the Old Republic" series and making the iconic space RPG "Mass Effect," they took the role playing genre back to its Tolkienbased roots, with "Dragon Age" being the end result. Although not a perfect series in terms of mechanics and story, with its first game, the series provided an expansive world where every choice mattered and the lore of the game was shown. However, it was largely unexplored unless goaded by player prerogative and downloadable content. The second game was less than thrilling with the story being much smaller than the original, to the point where it could be realistically beaten in a long gaming session without the side quests. Nonplayer characters (NPCs) weren't all that developed with the game making one side against the invaders who are honestly quite a bit more reasonable than their human and elven counterparts. The story was less immersive than the first and it may as well have been called "Dragon Age: Sequel Hook." As a longtime fan of the series, it is quite a bit to say that the newest installment, Inquisition, though odd, is the best of the games that has come out so far. The base is fairly straightforward as after the destruction of a peace talk, the main character is made the game's version of "the chosen one" by virtue of being in the right place and helped out with a deus ex machina right off the bat. Freedom of race and class choice is even more expansive than in the first game with NPCs coming back stronger than ever, but one can get a tad distracted witn tne new design that makes their skin glisten like they just came back from a charity run. In addition to this, they make the other races seem more human with the once intimidating race of horned, gigantic Qunari appear to be cosplayers displaying character romanticizing at its finest. Rather than hold the player's hand even on easier difficulties, the game makes itself a challenge with preplanned combat becoming a necessity against foes that may be weaker than the player one minute and kill the entire party in one strike the next with little room for error as a human bandit group can set up camp in rather dangerous proximity to a dragon that breathes lightning. In addition there's an element of side quest delegation that involves an almost bureaucratic element that newer games seem to like including. While it adds a bit more to the game by making some missions considerably easier, it also takes a considerable amount of time depending on the mission and thus if not planned carefully can end up being a mess where the player gets caught in a deadly situation with their pants around their ankles. Despite the flaws, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" is a lovely edition to an already fantastic franchise that will require one to be immensely bored with it or lose all of their appendages before they stop playing. COMIC BOOK CORNER Bryan Lee O'Malley's new graphic novel plays with chances By Faith Orcino Arts and Entertainment Editor Creator of thé popular "Scott Pilgrim" series, Bryan Lee O'Malley published his newest story, "Seconds," last year. It focused on the brilliant young Katie, the head chef of local restaurant Seconds. It has been four years since her first day of work there and she has been planning to start up her own business in another part of town. Things have been in a stalemate but tensions rise between Katie and her co-workers the night she sees her ex-boyfriend on a date. Many things go wrong and it ends with someone in the hospital and some tears being shed. That night, Katie discovers a girl on her dresser and a mysterious box. The contents of the box included a magical mushroom and a notebook labelled "My Mistakes". After testing it out, she realizes she has been given a second chance. Her life becomes more interesting and more of the mushrooms appear in her dresser. Little does she pay attention to the strange girl's warning. Photo courtesy ofbarnesandnoble.com Unlike O'Malley's other publications, he decided to publish this in full color with the help of colorist Nathan Fairbairn. It was a necessary element for this whimsical tale. With every new twist, the story spiraled down far from reality. Still, Katie's tale is one that many can resonate with, hoping for that second chance to rewrite history. The book is available as a hardcover and as a digital e-book. Whichever way you choose to read it, "Seconds" is something you can't read just once.

According to Knoblock, other options include expanding stack parking and exploring the possibility of converting to diag­ onal lots. Knoblock stressed that the zoned system was only one of many options, and said that the zoning proposal was presented, as opposed to any other, because it “was the only one drafted from beginning to end.” Parking Ser­ vices will bring in a consultant to analyze the practicality and financial considerations involved in expanding and/or restructur­ ing parking. When asked if the proposal favored higher-income students and families, Knoblock said, “We had fair and equitable goals [when looking at parking options] and we felt that by having dif­ ferent prices available, students would be able to make their own selection. We’re consider­ ing not using the word ‘pro­ posal’ anymore, because it’s a sensitive topic; this involves peo­ ple’s money.” Francine Martinez, vice pres­ ident for Student Affairs and chair of the Student Fee Advi­ sory Committee (SFAC), also confirmed that there is no official proposal at this time. While no “official” proposal is under con­ sideration, Knoblock said that, in the future, a parking struc­ ture would be necessary as there are only 2,521 spaces available on campus, and more than 6,000 students and 1,000 faculty/staff members. “Parking Services is self­ supported; we don’t receive any money from the state,” said Kno­ block, and “building a structure, » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 Vol. X No. 3/ Tuesday, February 19,2002 E :r.

P ride Photo/James Newell By: JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor Student Health Services and the Peer Education and Support (PEAS) organization set up a table in Founders Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday to pro­ mote sexual awareness as part of nation-wide Sexual Respon­ sibility Week, which ended on National Condom Day, or as most know it, Valentine’s Day. * “We’re not trying to promote sexual activity, but if people-are having sex, we want them to be responsible and safe,” said Cathy Nguyen, health educator at Stu­ dent Health Services. “And we want them to know abstinence is also a healthy choice.” Nguyen paired up with Janeth Orellana, a freshman peer edu­ cator with Student Health Ser­ vices, to provide student-friendly sexual health information and to address the connections between alcohol abuse and unhealthy choices. The table was filled with pamphlets on STD prevention, Student Health Services infor­ mation and condoms. The con­ doms were wrapped with artwork reflecting the winning submis­ sions from an annual contest sponsored by the California Family Health Council. “Let’s get stocked up,” said sophomore Brandon Koolhaas, as he took advantage of the free condoms in preparation for his Valentine festivities. Nguyen and Orellana also had a “spin to win” game for students to play. After spinning the wheel, students were asked a question, like, ‘What is abstinence?’ ‘What is the best method to prevent an STD?’ ‘Is withdrawal a good birthcontrol method?’ If participants answered correctly, they were offered their choice of either “How do I love thee?” poetry magnets or the quite popular condom rose, which came with STD hotline numbers and a reminder to practice safe sex. “Condom roses are a great idea, especially for Valentine’s Day,” said freshman Janene Davis as she strolled through Founder’s Plaza with friend Vanessa Hayes, roses in hand. Organizers of the two-day event gave away eight dozen long-stemmed condom roses, and more than 300 regular condoms. When asked for his thoughts on the event, student Jon Eckrich said, “You know, I love it. I’ve never used a condom, but I’m going to now.” Student Health Services pro­ vides women’s health exams, STD screening, birth-control options counseling and prescrip­ tions, emergency contraceptive pills (the “morning after pill”), pregnancy testing, HIV testing, and other services, which are paid for with student health fees. » > A rtic le cont. on pg. 2 ASI Hosts Breakfast in Celebration of Black History Month By LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor After a moment of silence in memory of Henry Rodriguez, a Luiseno tribal elder who died in a car accident Thursday morning, student Crystal Rodriguez asked the listeners to join her in singing the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson, to open Friday’s Black History Month Breakfast. Acting master of ceremonies and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard then welcomed everyone to this year’s event, which fea­ tured keynote speaker Dr. Sharon Whitehearst-Payne, an adminis­ trator in the San Diego Unified > ^ f School District with 30 years teaching experience. “I love San Diego County because of its diversity, its rain­ bow of people,” said Whitehearst-Payne. A graduate of Duke I University, Whitehearst-Payne / focused her speech on three areas: diversity, giving back to the com­ munity and her faith in Jesus Christ. She grew up in an exclu­ sively African-American com­ munity and attended grades K-12 at an all African-American school. “What can you outpour into some else’s life?

According to that article, stu­ dents would have the opportu­ nity to purchase parking for $14 a month under the “Zoned Park­ ing System.” Knoblock said the information was incorrect; stu­ dents would not, if the proposal at any time becomes official, be able to purchase a parking pass for Zone 3, which would have comprised lots B, N and O. The proposed $14 a month parking area would be for faculty and staff only. If and when any other parking proposals, or options, are negotiated, Parking Services must submit a proposal to the SFAC at least a week and a half prior to any presentation of P rom oting Black History Month B reakfast such a proposal, according to Knoblock. “We really encourage people to come to Parking Ser­ vices, in person, if they have a problem,” said Knoblock. “We take our suggestion forms very seriously and respond to each individually.” Knoblock also encouraged students to find out what other areas Parking Services is involved in. “We handle the free shuttle and stack parking, and we lease 160 spaces at San Marcos Ambulatory Care to handle over­ flow parking.

Rodriguez served as an important elder, helping to preserve indigenous California culture.

According to Martin, all it took was 25 cents and a few miracles along the way. Martin became famous about two years ago when his life was spotlighted as a part of the Hollywood movie “The Hurri­ cane.” The movie tells of Martin’s involvement in helping to free Rubin “The Hurricane” Carter from wrongful imprisonment.

Directed by Scott Dreier, a former Plaid when the show ran at the Theatre in Old Town, “Forever Plaid” tells; the story of four high school geeks who met in the Audio Visual Club and started a boy band: The Plaids. In 1964, they were on their way to their first major gig when they were killed in a car accident. Now, 38 years later, they have been given the chance to return to earth and perform the show they never made it to in life. Admittedly, they’re a little rusty, a little ner­ vous and have forgotten most of their moves. Still, throughout the show, it’s clear that they never forgot the thrill of performing or their lyrics. The rich voices of Frankie, - Sparky, Jinx and Smhdge combine in amazing harmony.

The 3 “slackers” are con­ fronted with complications when Dave makes the mistake of taking Ethan’s (Jason Schwartz- REVIEW REVIEW Photo Courtesy o f www.imdb.com multiplex and purchase a ticket to see the movie “Slackers.” This fragmented comedy introduces the audience to three college students, Dave (Devon Sawa), Sam (Jason Segel), and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna) who have cheated their way through of this evidence and uses it to blackmail Dave and his friends to either hook him up with Angela, the girl of his dreams, or get kicked out of school. In compliance with Ethan’s terms, the boys do what­ ever it takes to find out what interests Angela. However, despite all the information gathered, socially awkward Ethan doesn’t have a chance, especially since Dave and Angela begin falling in love. Social conflicts then arise, which leave Dave alone, as trust issues between the three­ some temporarily break them up, and Angela leaves him after being convinced that he is a liar. The film closes with Ethan’s blackmail scheme backfiring on him, and Dave finds the courage, with the help of his friends to come clean and tell - Angela the truth and how much he loves her. A .typical closure you would expect from a teen comedy. What is hilarious about “Slackers” are the erotic scenes involving Ethan and 2 girls at once, Ethan’s hair doll and Ethan’s romantic late night ser­ enade to Angela. The one evident problem in the movie is that the plot is very disjointed. Although at times the gags were funny, they were out of place and made the story drag on.

But what we didn’t know is that after taking a three-year break from the spot­ light, she is back from a period of growth and self-evolution, ready to release her new 17-track CD titled “Full Moon.” “In the past three years, I’ve focused on getting to know who I am inside. I took a break to reflect on myself as a person and I’ve grown a lot. There was a side of me that I’ve known and people close to me have known, which was different from the public image of who I was,” said Brandy. “Full Moon” is Brandy’s third Photo Courtesy o f www.foreverbrandy.com Book JOSEPH SANCHEZ For the Pride This is a belated review of a book that hopefully many of you are already familiar with. But after finally getting my hands on a copy, I feel compelled to say all I can about the impor­ tance of reading this book. I first heard about the book on National Public Radio (NPR) last year and was shocked by the tales of abuse and negligence that author Eric Schlosser says he discovered in the fast-food industry. Most of us can probably remember the E coli outbreak associated with tainted meat sold at a Jack in the Box in Seattle a Fast Review few years back. What we don’t know is that all the meat products for all fast-food restaurants (with a few notable exceptions) come from the same few unsanitary meat-processing plants. After the Jack in the Box incident, 35 million pounds of ground beef were recalled, most of which had already been consumed. This is only one of numer­ ous instances of the worst kind of industry neglect that Schlosser details. Even more shocking is the claim he makes on page 218 that “for years some of the most questionable ground beef in the United States was purchased by the USDA—and then distributed to school cafeterias throughout the country.” For those of you who recognize the eerie similar­ ity between such incidents and others, which occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, involving rotten meat given to Native Americans - I remind you that this was hap­ pening in the 80s and 90s and now continues, into the twentyfirst century. In 1999, the USDA continued to purchase meat from a plant that allowed as much as 47 per­ cent of its beef to contain Salmonella. The company that owned this plant is one of the largest suppliers of public school’s meal programs in the nation. The situation gets even worse Beauty Behind Bars By SYBILLE HERWIG Pride Staff Writer The romantic fairy tale image of 1001 Arabian nights has long been stripped of its innocence, and recent events have evoked many provocative questions about Middle-Eastern countries. Cul­ tural differences are clashing, and sadly, fear might affect many of us when we think about the Arabian world. And yet, there is a rich and spiritual culture hidden behind the violent and sad images that are brought into our homes by the media. A culture, which opposes many* Western ideas of freedom, has triggered a sense of fascination and curiosity: What Pride Photo/Sybille Herwig is it like living in a country that faces unbearable poverty? What is it like living under a system that denies women their freedom and dignity? I tried to answer these questions for myself by taking a trip to Yemen in 1998. The people of Yemen strictly follow the Islam faith; thus, it can be strange for a first- time visitor to see women covered from top to toe, barely showing their eyes. But traveling means getting to know and understand different cultures, so approaching this trip with an open mind helped rfte to deal with the sometimes-shock­ ing pictures of starving children and oppressed women, and, at the same time, enjoy the beauty Yemen has to offer. My adventure started with a rough plane trip from A1 Hudaydah to Sana’a, which is one of Yemen’s main tourist attractions. Sana’a is located in the midwest region of the country and has been recognized as the mecca of the Arab nation’s cultural heri­ tage. According to Yemenis, the city is one of the "first sites of human settlement, founded by Noah’s son, Shem. But what makes Sana’a really special is the amazing architecture of the approximately 400-year-old houses, as well as the largest preserved medina in the Arab world. Another must-see stop is the central market, Souq-al-Milh, which has a local atmosphere and provides vivid insight into the social life of the Yemenis. The crowded, narrow streets make it hard to stay oriented, but experiencing the market’s hustle and bustle makes getting lost an exciting mistake. The air is filled with the aroma of odd spices, raisins and vegetables, and the voices of loud salesmen selling their goods. Some of the most popular products available are daggers. But no worries! They do not serve.as weapons, but rather as fashion statements. Daggers are part of the traditional attire, and Yemeni men carry them as casually as American men wear tjes. The more splendid the show­ piece, the more ceremonious the occasion. While I was wandering through the streets of Sana’a, I noticed a recurrent trend: the swollen cheeks of the men, appar­ ently caused by their constant chewing and spitting. Fortu­ nately, these cheeks were not the result of a universal toothache; they were filled with leaves of the^ Quat plant. Quat is a mild, nonaddictive stimulant, which makes one lively and chatty, although after a while one might become TRAVEL _ album for Atlantic records. The album, scheduled for release on March 5, includes work from pro­ ducers Warren Campbell, Keith Crouch, Mike City, and Rodney Jerkins, who together contributed to extending Brandy’s musical talent to the next level. The chemistry between these producers flourishes throughout “Full Moon,’- giving us a taste of classic quiet storm, pulsating, melodic hip-hop beats, and R&B smoothness. The album draws from a more edgy side of Brandy in songs like “When You Touch Me,” “Come A Little Closer,” and Brandy’s current single, “What About Us?” While it touches on everyday issues and emotions, her music shows how she has grown both mentally and spiritu­ ally. *. Food Nation as Schlosser examines the work­ ing conditions in the meat- pro­ cessing plants. In tones and' images that echo Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle, Schlosser takes us right into the nauseating world that provides us with our convenient 99- cent hamburgers. In his examination of the industry, Schlosser points to meatpacking as the most danger­ ous job in the U.S. The book truly exposes the horrifying toll of destroyed lives and families due to one simple fact: greed. The majority of workers are unskilled immigrants who don’t speak Eng­ lish and are easily intimidated by workman’s compensation forms and insurance applications, which SS§ v-'\ “Before, I didn’t know who I was\ or what I liked to do or understand the love that I really had for music. I think on this album, you cart tell through the vocals and creativity that it’s just different. It’s because I’m more into me now so I can bring me into the music,” said Brandy. “It represents who I am and what I am and where I am.” As a result, this album has carried Brandy through her chal­ lenging period of growth and into a new state of being, giving us great music. “I’ve come full circle, made a 360 degree change in my life, and rediscovered my love for music and hey, crazy things happen during a FULL MOON,” said Brandy. *Quotes Courtesy of Atlan­ tic Records suits the corporate heads just fine. The irony is that the dollar is the bottom line for more than just the stereotyped, greedy corpo­ rate executive - there is also the “Fast Food Nation,” which wants its one-dollar hamburger. But, as Schlosser points out in his study, even In-N-Out’s high wages and fresh food don’t nec­ essarily equate with an expensive or a slower product. The beauty of this book is that it is so rel­ evant to everyone. It is a fasci­ nating and thoroughly enjoyable read. m V ' *> §!

P ride Photo/Sybille Herwig mellow and contemplative (at least these were my observations of my local Quat-chewing tour guide.) Unlike in other Arabic coun­ tries, Quat is legal in Yemen, and it plays a big* role in the Yemenis’ social life. Of course, only men are allowed to engage in this pleasure, and they most likely do that while either drink­ ing tea together or walking hand in hand through town. Yes, I know what you think! But in Yemen, holding hands is an expression of friendship. The fact that any spark of affection between men and women is for­ bidden in public might explain this custom. But there are times for coed celebrations, which I recognized while attending a wedding reception on my way cross-country, from Sana’a to Aden. Under the hot Arabian sun, a young couple celebrated their new bond on a ledge, overlooking a gorgeous valley. The joy of this occasion was expressed not only by music and dance, but also by ‘friendly’ machine-gun fire. Fur­ thermore, falcons demonstrated their amazing arial abilities for their proud owners and guests. It was an unforgettable experi­ ence to be part of this tradition, especially when I was asked to provide my arm as a take-off and landing spot for these great birds. Visiting Yemen is like travel­ ing back in time. The sights and landscape reminded me of Bibli­ cal stories and inspired a sense of nostalgia. But these dreamy feelings are extinguished very quickly, as soon as the poverty of this country becomes appar­ ent.

Last Monday night in the final exer­ cises of the pairs figure skating competition, the Russian team of Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze was awarded the gold medal, despite the outcries of experts across the world who were certain that the Canadian team of Jamie Sale and David Pel­ letier should have taken the gold. An investigation of the judges began almost immediately, and after a week of investigation and the suspension of the* French judge, a second gold medal was awarded at a press conference on Friday. This is the fourth time that the IOC has awarded a second gold medal. In 1993, the IOC awarded a second gold medal from the Barcelona Games in synchronized swimming. The executive board agreed that Canada’s Sylvie Frechette was placed second because of a judg­ ing error that occurred when a Brazilian judge was not allowed to change a score that she mistyped, into her computer. However, the second gold medal is not a provision in the Inter­ national Skating Union (ISU) rules. In a press conference Friday, ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta insisted that the extraordinary situation con­ cerning the scandal called for a change of regulations in order to accommodate the circum­ stances. "We are happy that justice was done ... this was not some­ thing against [Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze], it was something against the system,” said Pel­ letier. He also took a moment to intentionally divert the spot­ light to other Canadian athletes who had won medals in the last couple of days while everyone was paying attention to him and Canadians Received Gold Medals Photo Courtesy o f http://www.msnbc.com/news/705743.asp Sale. “This is not what the Olympics are supposed to be about,” said Jamie Sale, politely reminding reporters why the two athletes are in Salt Lake City. In both singles and pairs figure skating, skaters are judged on more technical elements jumps, spins, spirals, and land­ ings - while ice dancing is judged more subtly, on rhythm, fotftwork, and style. The controversy this year may have begun in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Four years ago, the ISU suspended the Canadian and Ukrainian judges when the Canadian ice dancing team claimed that the Russians and the French conspired to keep them from winning a medal. It has been known for several years in the figure skating community that many of the judges have their decisions made long before the actual competi­ tion. The IOC has tried to prevent corruption in the past by choosing judges for the events only a few hours before* competition, instead of a few months before. In Salt Lake City, however, facilities were not available for a large pool of judges, and therefore the judges had to be chosen several months ago. Olympic judging has been under intense scrutiny for years, involving figure skating and ice dancing, as well as syn­ chronized swimming and rhyth­ mic gymnastics in the Summer Olympics. The IOC has been working oil developing more technical measures of judging, and even discussed eliminating the more artistic sports from the Olympics altogether. Few deci­ sions have been made.

Pride Staff Writer Restaurant Row for C ommuters By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer It’s almost the middle of the third week of school and for some of you it must really suck having to commute from southern San Diego and Orange County. Especially if ypu have one of those scattered schedules/ You might be able to identify with the fol­ lowing scenario: arriving at school on Monday morning at 8 a m , only to have to wait around for your next class, which begins at 1 p.m., and finally, your last class, which begins at 6 p.pi. You already drive an hour or more every morning in traffic. It’s not worth driving home only to come back a couple of hours later. May I suggest some other choices. Instead of sitting around campus, wasting time, take off for a few hours. Attending CSUSM puts you right in the middle of fun and entertainment. Jump on the 78 west and exit at San Marcos Boulevard. Turn left onto San Marcos Boulevard, drive just a couple miles, and to your right you’ll find “Restaurant Row.” It’s a couple of blocks encompassing a variety of tasteful restaurants. You can enjoy some Mexican food at Acapulco’s, or seafood at Fish House Vera Cruz, and Rockin’ Baja Lobster. Maybe you feel like a little Italian food, so go to Bru­ no’s. Or you could be in the mood for nice, juicy ribs at Tony Roma’s. And if all you want is a burger and fries, then walk into Burger’s & Brew, tell Drew I said hi and please~say hello to the beautiful bartender for me. If you are stressed and want some relief have a beer or glass of wine. Just don’t get drunk; remember you have to come back. If you are not hungry and not in the mood for spirits, go next door and watch a movie at the beautiful Edwards Cinema. Watch the latest new flicks, like “Count of Monte Gristo” or, for you romantics, “A Walk to Remember.” For those of you who are adven­ turous, head east to Escondido. Here, you can go to Dixon Lake to fish, rent a boat or mountain bike, and there are plenty of other activities. Or, go play paintball at Mr. Paintball’s. And if you head west, keep going until you hit the beach. Just take the 78 west, which turns into West Vista Way. Walk on the beach, or suit up and get wet. For your shopping convenience, there are two malls close by, Plaza El Camino Real in Carlsbad, off the 78, and North County Fair in Escondido, off the 15. Hopefully, some of these ideas will help you with your long days this semester. Fun is at your reach within a small radius. If this does not help, then you can always go to the library and study. �T he Pride ^ C l lc r!^ The Parking Proposal I am a mature adult student and have been a full-time student for four out of five semesters. When are the students of this University going to “WAKE-UP?” The entire proposal is, as most other decisions, an AMBUSH! The Parking Proposal [hereafter: Proposal] was created over the break and when the majority of frill-time students are enjoying a holiday break. This proposal is not only outrageous; it is an insight in to how students are treated with disrespect and disconcern. The administration’s attitude appears to be at first blush, “they will be gone by the time it becomes an issue to deal with ... ”The Proposal, simply put, shows how the bi-furcation of Campus Police supervised parking vs. the “Parking (dis) Services” has been in control of the wrong person/s, who now display the fact that they cannot manage the money that is collected. There are numerous examples: [1J current signs that are displayed in Handicap parking are not the proper signs, which violates the California Vehicle Code and Federal Law, [2] there are not enough Handicapped parking spaces in the correct lots, which is old news and again ignored and unchanged by the “Parking powers,” [3] the Parking Enforcement persons were either led to believe, or took it upon themselves to assume, that they had the powers of a Police Officer and proceeded to violate students rights of privacy and make demands under the color of law. Only after being confronted with the errors and the fact that the “Red Shirts,” or Parking Enforcement persons* are not even qualified as limited peace officers [California Penal Code 830 et. siq.] has this legal action subsided. Director D. Knoblock has been privy to these and other major problems for over three semesters, yet they remain either ignored or unchanged. There are other numerous incidents that I have been privy to, and I am only one student, on campus a few days a week. There are almost 6,500 students currently enrolled. How many other stories are out there of misconduct and misuse of student parking funds, all for the pleasure of one or two persons? Using the approximate 6,500 students and their parking fees of $62, that amounts to over $400,000 per semester, and of course not everyone buys a parking sticker. Where does that money go, Director D. Knoblock? The proposal is poorly thought out. The hiring of a Parking Services Engineer, or whatever his title, was a step toward the right direction; unfortunately the result was not student-oriented. In fact the rumor is that, as part of the new plan the “shuttie service” will be discontinued, This was the only thing visible that the Parking fees provided, I have had to walk from the lot closest to Escondido, the far east lot. Without the shuttleservice, students would ftave to walk close to one mile to class, I have heard other students say that other schools and universities have poorer parking conditions than are proposed, Wejl, I did not go to that other school because of that consideration and others, including the drive to San Diego at 6:30 a.m. According to The Pride article, which was the first time any of the regular students heard of the Proposal, “the university will be in the red” in two years. I personally believe that an audit of the Parking Services is in order, before the increase of student parking fees is forced down the throat of the current students, The limitation of student votes to four, with most of the student government taking those voting seats, is wrong. Even the lack of opinions in this matter shows the conscious disregard for the input of students, which is the norm that I’ve seen since I attended. CSUSM has now taken the position that students are “customers.” Well I am one very unhappy “customer,” and I know that I am not alone. Ambushing the general student population and limiting the voting seem typical of the administration. Progress is not the answer; it is the problem, when it goes on without balance! This proposal seems to be Pyrrhic victory, R. Bell C o n d o le n c e s T o A ll W ho G rieve U n cle H e n r y To Whom It May Concern: I want to send my condolences to those in the CSUSM commu­ nity that are grieving for their loss of “Uncle” Henry Rodriguez.

Melanie Addington Graduate Student Tuesday, February 19,2002 7 Literature and Writing Department As a former student of Liter­ ature and Writing at CSUSM, I feel the need to write about what I think is an injustice to future Literature and Writing students. We all know about the lack of evening classes offered in the Literature and Writing major as well as the infrequency of core requirement classes being offered, but this is worse. This is about poor teaching of those core classes. Last spring, I had the misfor­ tune of having a certain Profes­ sor X teach a core requirement course. The class was poorly organized with too much mate­ rial to be grasped in 16 weeks (much of it theory), with a pro­ fessor with little knowledge of the subject being taught. Profes­ sor X intimidated students when we asked questions, papers and exams were graded with little indication of how the professor arrived at the final grade, and worse, we were constantly being put into groups to basically teach ourselves the material. Although I have had other professors (good professors) use this latter tech­ nique, we always had input and guidance from our instructor when we presented our “knowl­ edge” to the rest of the class. This was not the case with Professor X. I tried to speak with Pro­ fessor X about my unhappiness with the class, but she was unre­ sponsive and said “don’t worry, you are doing fine.” Evidently, S tu d e n ts A s C u sto m e r s It has been rumored that there has been a shift in the manner in which faculty should view their students: students are to be regarded perhaps as cus­ tomers and we, as faculty, must be more conscious of the realm of customer satisfaction. The pro­ posed change in parking— the faculty lot being available to whosoever can pay the most while we, in no position of influ­ ence, search for spaces in the far reaches of the campus so that our customers can be happy— brings the above rumor closer to real­ ity. I am so very grateful for that clarification as to my— fellow and faculty’s— position on campus. Susan Fellows LTWR I wasn’t (I got my only “C” in my CSUSM career), and neither was Professor X. We students heard that the chairperson of our department spoke to Professor X about the many complaints, but nothing changed. My classmates and I agreed that the workload, the lack of pedagogy, and the anxiety asso­ ciated with the class, made us never want to have Professor X again. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Professor X again. This fall (my last at CSUSM), I was thrilled that all of the final courses that I would need to graduate were being taught in the evening and Professor X was not teaching any of them. Of course, that was not to be. At the last minute, Professor X subbed in to teach a core require­ ment course that I was taking. My friends, who had also had Professor X, urged me to drop the course, take it in the spring with someone else, and just grad­ uate one semester later. I debated for a long time about this course, but I was determined to finish school this fall, and I gave Professor X the benefit of the doubt. It was the wrong decision. The workload was enormous (20 books to read in 16 weeks, 2 tenpage papers, 10 two-page papers, and both a two-day midterm and two-day final exam), the professor was obviously lacking the qualifications to teach this course, students were again intimidated and grades were derived from some ethereal reasoning that none of the stu­ dents understood (we were told AFTER the midterm exam what the professor MEANT by a ques­ tion worth 50% of the points, when what she asked on the exam was vastly different). I could continue with many examples of the injustices, intim­ idation, and lack of pedagogy that was the norm in Professor X’s classroom, but you must understand my point by now. I was torn about what to do about this professor: say, “Who cares, at least I am finished with school,” and “What about the students yet to come through this program?” CSUSM is a good school with great literature and writing professors who have a lot to offer their students. I feel cheated out of the two classes taught by Professor X. I was overwhelmed, discouraged, and I learned very little on subjects that are important to my major and ultimately to my pursuits in graduate school. Why is Profes­ sor X still teaching these upper -division courses? It is a shame that future students may have to endure what so many of us already have when Professor X’s evaluations were surely not posi­ tive ones. What recourse does a student have in this situation? Katja Tonsky T he Parking Proposal To the Editors: Parking Services would like to add to The Pride article (New Parking Proposal Will Increase Fees) printed on Feb. 12, 2002. The proposal addressed in the article is only ONE of many options that we are exploring to match the projected increase in faculty, staff, and students. Some of the other options we are looking at range from increas­ ing the number of carpool spaces, providing a bus pass subsidy program for our NCTD (North County Transit District) ridership, to purchasing addi­ tional bike racks and bike lock­ ers. We are also looking at diagonal parking vs. traditional straight-in parking spaces. We encourage our campus commu­ nity to send us any suggestions, comments, and recommen­ dations to www.csusm.edu/ parking or drop in at FCB 107 and give us your input. Thank you and we continue to look forward to working with our campus community. Dora R. Knoblock, Director o f Campus Enterprises. 760-750-7500 Bush, Light, and The World Bush is spending the multi­ lateralism of the past like a kid with a nickel in a candy store. Hiroshima cast a pall over the nation, consisting of the horror over dropping the bomb. The nation felt a tremendous guilt over ending the war with the bomb and trepidation over what it portended for the future. Pro­ paganda and false bravado were necessary to sooth our nation’s collective guilt. Today a similar Unease over an impending doom has been brought upon us on the coattails of our president. Must we uni­ laterally abort multilateral rela­ tions for short-term gains? What about the long-term costs of such a foreign policy? Winston Churchill once said, “The United States represents man’s ascent to the “Sunlit Uplands” of history, and we cannot be stopped anymore than the sun can. The sun may go behind the clouds for an hour or a day or a week, or even a month, but we are the sun, the light of mankind, and we will not be dimmed for long.” Does our president, who is known to admire Churchill greatly, think that means he needs to use the light of the bomb to light the world? Does he feel it’s his ‘manifest destiny’? John P. Doddridge �TUesday February 19th in the March 5th Guber­ natorial Primary Election.

By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer When an eagle feather falls, a veteran dances close by and protects it from being trampled upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). The theme of the 10th Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), offered a glimpse of protection from the traditions of generations old and new by honoring passed heroes. The Pow Wow gave truth to the natural essence of spirituality with the ambience of ritual customs. The steady beat of drums echoed through the inner circle. The beat of the center drum circle, led by Hale and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor. Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi- Native American dancer at the Pow Wow. Photo by Tristan Nickey The Pow Wow's powerful, rhythmic procession gave life to the honoring of heroes. An amazing chorus of drums thundered under the heat of the heavy sun. American Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders who passed away, "Uncle" Henry Rodriguez and Chet Hunt. The Pow Wow honored Rodriguez and Hunt for their ever-vigilant support, exemplary leadership and teachings. Karin Giron-DeCrane said, "OurHerpes have taught us many lessons...to remember that we never do anything alone." The congregation of gatherers stood in silence for a moment of blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous day, and prayed for the safety of people. Once the blessing of the inner circle concluded, only Native American Indians entered into the circle. Edmonds made light of the situation by joking, "If you are white and you enter the blessed circle you will go straight to hell."

Lee pointed out that some of the dropped students had owed the school money for several years -receiving an education without having paid for it.

This figure amounts to just Students received official over eight percent of the 28,000 students enrolled at Palomar this notices by mail and from teachers during class sessions to the sursemester. prise of many. However, many According to the Director of students said that the college did Enrollment Services, Herman not provide adequate notice, and Lee, students who failed to pay are outraged that Palomar would choose to take this kind of action so far into the semester rather than waiting until winter break. News of this policy change failed to reach many students. Students are complaining; they assumed that their accounts were in good standing, and many did not even know there was a problem until they were dropped. Many insist that they followed the proper procedures and their payment problems were a result of mistakes made by Palomar, "I paid my fees in person weeks ago, first they said that they owe me money, now they're saying I owe them nine dollars and I'm dropped from all my classes until I pay," said Kristian Smock. "They have been giving me the runaround for over a week and now I'm so far behind I wonder if it is even worth trying to get back in." Smock also said that he had heard of other students being dropped for owing the school less than four dollars. Though according to Lee, any AIDS Testing Available at SHS By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer SHS is a student clinic that offers a broad range of services from AIDS testing to seasonal flu shots. SHS will be giving anonymous, free,AIDS tests on Wednesdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. beginning Sept 11th until further notice to all registered students who may be interested. Registered students may plan scheduled as well as walk-in appointments.

SHS performs an oral AIDS test, known as the Orasure test. The Orasure test involves swabbing the inner cheek of the patient with a harmless instrument, commonly a swab on a stick. This breaks off cells from the inner cheek, which are then tested for HIV. For students who are not sure about how common AIDS can be or how it can be contracted, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides facts that are commonly overlooked. According to die CDC, California ranks 14th among all states in North America in percentage of people infected with the AIDS virus. Los Angeles and San Francisco lead the state as carriers of the virus, and San Diego does not rank in the top 10 cities in the United States. Overall, as of June 2001, North America has 800,000 - 900,000 people living with AIDS, which is 0.3 per cent of the United States total population. Less developed countries such as Africa have higher statistics due to lack of See TESTING, page 12 student owing more than $12 in unpaid fees was administratively dropped.

"It angers me that my weekend was disturbed by administrative incompetence," said Cunningham, who needed a signature for his add slip, and drove out to his instructor's house on a Sunday to meet the Sept. 27th deadline (which was later pushed back indefinitely). During the past three years, Palomar College has been in the process of updating their computing and communication systems. CSUSM students who have transferred from Palomar may remember the open trenches and temporary telephone polls that littered the Palomar campus in recent years. Many students remember the system's renovations and the inconveniences associated with the admissions office during the transition. Due to the renovation, Palomar was not able to track students who failed to pay their fees. Now that Palomar can track these students, the administration is returning to its previous policy of dropping students who have a balance due. In recent years, students had been allowed to pay their fees up to two weeks into the semester.

Ideas about what happens after the food is swallowed seem to get lost in the appealing prospect of having a meal handed in through the car window for less than a buck. According to ABCnews.com, "Residents of the United States spend more on fast food a year than they do movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and records combined." This amounts to over $110 billion annually. But as the nation grows more obese and unhealthy, it may be increasingly appropriate to examine Americans' propensity to support the fast food industry. And support it they do. The office of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S." When considering that the last official Census Bureau (www.census.gov) count for the U.S. population was 281,421,906, this means there is one fast food restaurant for about every 900 people in the country. At least one quarter of them is apt to stop in to one of these fast food establishments for a meal at least once per day, according to CBS HealthWateh. Americans Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, said, "The United States eats the most fast food in the world." While this is not the most profound statement and is unlikely, to shock the masses, it is certainly worthy of analysis. The entire world seems to recognize that in the U.S., people relish supersize, ready in under a minute, bite-swallow-and-go meals.

Most people think that a resume is a summary of their college career. If that were true, 95 percent of the resume would consist of beer drinking and partying. A resume need not include everything you did in the course of your college career. When looking for a job in the field of chemistry, a person might not want to include drinking beer out of funnels, drinking shooters out of test tubes, or micro brewing your own beer and using yourself as a guinea pig as work experience.

George Oiye had a happy childhood and grew up visiting the historic headquarters of the Missouri -River, the starting point of the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Later, in his twenties, Oiye attended Montana State College where he studied mechanical and aeronautical engineering. In college, he also participated in ROTC (Reserve Officers in Training Corps) where he was captain of the college rifle team. He fit the perfect profile for a man with a promising military future, except for the fact that this was 1941, the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor, and George Oiye is a Japanese American. and military record, Oiye was classified by the United States government as a 4C, an enemy unfit for military service. Of this time, Oiye states, "I felt like a man without a country." But then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind the 4C order, thus allowing him, and some 15,000 other Japanese Americans, to reinstate their active duty military status. Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which happens to be the most highly decorated combat unit of its size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go for Broke" regiment, because of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and the 522nd were comprised of mainland Japanese Americans and Japanese Hawaiians. The regiment has been credited with Despite his college academic breaking the "Gothic Line," an area of German fortified strong TESTING from page 3 points located in the mountains north of Florence Italy. This group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also been credited with helping to penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps throughout Europe. As a forward observer, Oiye himself has been credited with spotting an enemy gun from an observation point 14,000 feet up and calling in Naval artillery support from sea to knock it out. In all, his team participated in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns throughout Italy, France and Germany, 5 of which Oiye was directly a part. His team was also instrumental in the rescue of the 'Lost Battalion,' where he and, his fellow soldiers suffered 850 casualties to save a unit of 223 Texans. Their defining victory occurred when they liberated the concentration camp survivors in Dachau, Germany (the location of Hitler's first concentration camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these men were thousands of miles away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide, many of their own families had been involuntarily interned in camps in the United States, due to the Pearl Harbor tragedy. On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about his experiences as an American soldier both before and after the war. He commented on the strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the soldiers from mainland Japan did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/ was worse than all the grenades and bullets, because he had to live with these men. For Oiye,. mainland return was a fate worse than battle. The problem was that many Americans simply could not accept the fact that Japanese Americans could have possibly helped in winning the war. It was so bad that even as a decorated veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for several years. But yet, after all of the mistreatment he endured by the same country whose values he risked his life to protect, when asked about his own identity as an American, Oiye remarked in a most stoic manner, "After your first bayonet fight with the enemy, you know you're an American." Now eighty years old, Oiye is a retired engineer and public speaker and can be seen in many documentaries and television interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World War II. 1 should put the cumulative.

Poullard said that students should come to him for anything, "And I mean anything," he said. Upon getting the details of the concern or grievance, his first step is to call the appropriate office and explain the student's situation, after which Poullard directs the student to the correct office for resolution. * f"a water i | Case of 24 m IfwAAuT W W ^^^rn^mSm Cliff or Luna Assorted i Any Longs Brand Item j Bars 4 0% OFF! cents each S4J9+CIV !

Although some variation exists, "Red Dragon," directed by Brett Ratner, is for all intents and purposes a remake of Michael Mann's 1986 cult classic Manhunter. Both films have been adapted from the Thomas Harris book "Red Dragon," and accurately represent the novel, albeit in different ways. With its dark and alien cinematography and score, Manhunter grittily explores the deranged mind of a killer and the man that hunts him, whereas the more modern installment comes equipped with a star studded cast, goes into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds and offers a more true representation of the book. Actor Ralf Fiennes as Francis Dolarhyde. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. games employed are top notch and keep you on your feet. When a series of savage murders occur, FBI agent Will Graham (played by Edward Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack Crawford (played by Harvey Keitel), to help catch the killer. The villain, Francis Dolarhyde (played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous combination of intelligence and lunacy accompanied with a rather intimidating physical demeanor. Graham realizes early on that he is going to require assistance in order to attempte a successful capture. Just like Clarice in "The Silence of the Lambs," Graham Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. must also venture into the mind of Lecter in order to put an end to the killing spree. In so doing, Graham allows himself to be reciprocally probed by the renowned man-eating psychologist. For anyone with an interest in criminal psychology or pathology this film along with its predecessor and the novel are a must. The imagery is brutal, without being overly gory. The atmosphere is intense, and refuses to let you go. And the mind Actor Ed Norton as FBI Agent Will Graham. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. Although I didn't get a strong feeling of semblance among cast members, I do think that the performances by Hopkins and Fiennes were strong, to say the least. Even though the role of Will Graham is complex, I felt as if Norton's performance was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however, add a great deal of depth to this film. An especially compelling performance by Emily Watson as Dolarhyde's unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air. Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton, the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds constituted the perfect guy you love to hate. Whatever this film lacked, as far as performances are concerned, it made up for in suspense and story line. As I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the work of Thomas Harris, I must implore you to not only see this film, but also "Manhunter," "The Silence of the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If you liked these films even a little bit, read the books, because they shed light on the formation of the character's personalities in the realest sense, the way Harris intended. �Sweet Home Alabama: More Than Just a Chick-Flick what's ironic about this situation In order to proceed with her is that the movie itself happens marriage to Andrew, she must to appeal to more than one audi- return to Alabama and finalize ence—the other being males. her divorce with Jake and also reveal to her parents her recent Reese Witherspoon as the decision to get married.

The Halloween Haunt has come a long way from where it began back in 1973, with only a few employees in costumes. Today, more than a million yards of scare cloth, 10,000 gallons of makeup, and 5,000 gallons of imitation blood have been used to decorate the cast in preparation for this annual event. performances is the Ghouls Gone Wild Magic and Dance Show, starring magician Ed Alonzo. This supercharged, sexy, and very controversial show includes a number of popular songs acted out on stage. The audience cheered on as women danced around poles and acted out the popular Nelly song, "It's Getting' Hot in Here," and if you know the words, then you can imagine what came next. This show is definitely not for children due to the adult themes, content, and humor. Nearly 52,000 people attended the opening weekend, with numbers expecting to double as the month nears Halloween. To accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new shows and mazes were added to the haunting line-up. Other shows include bizarre circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy. Zamora, the Torture King, along with his entourage, as seen in the Guiness Book of World Records and Ripley's "Believe It or Not," performs four shows a night.

Also new for 2002, the "Curse of the Spider" has taken over the area where the haunted shack once stood and offers more than meets the eye. tion of live insects, the stapling of body parts, and the insertion of metal wires through muscle tissue. Also available for guests' entertainment are personal tarot card readings, pyrotechnic and laser displays, and several freaks of nature, such as the Human Jigsaw Puzzle and giant 8-foot tall Zandrini. The Underground, Blood Bayou, Army of the Underworld, Red Moon Massacre, Horrorwood Fright Festival, Alien Attack, Lore of the Vampire, and Inquisition all offer screams and chills around every corner. Some are themed with twisted versions of fairytale characters gone bad while others thrive on the fear of more traditional characters, such as werewolves, vampires, and aliens. The most crowded attractions seem to be the Army of the Underworld and Red Moon Massacre, so if visitors plan to go, they should hit those attractions first. Furthermore, the longest lines during opening weekend did not exceed an hour and a half and some lines were short enough to walk immediately in. Although there have been more monsters in years past, the Halloween Haunt continues to get the job done. Nowhere else in Southern California are there more screams, curses, and haunts. Halloween Haunt is open every Thursday through Sunday until Nov. 2nd, and closing hours vary depending on the day. The cost is $38 for pre-sale tickets and $42 at the door.

BLT drew the audience deeper into the film with its active direction as well as the well-written characters. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) opened its doors to collaborative passions, desires, characters, and the inspiring direction of artistic creation. The SDAFF created a controversial buzz, making this year's festival an overall success. Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by creating a booming non-profit film festival in order to showcase Asian artistic talents. Opening night began when Kim emphatically spoke of her number one project, the SDAFF. With a slow beginning, the SDAFF opened three years ago with little notice but instead with a dream to establish an environment of support and collective collaboration of artistic creation. Kim excitedly spoke of the growing success of a film festival in a notoriously difficult locale. She expressed concern that San Diego has been a difficult venue forfilmfestivals.

Lin took a substantial risk in the making of BLT by using his credit cards as a primary source for the budget. Due to the difficult budget size, creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the making of the movie. Lin and the crew envisioned a film for an Asian cast to break through stereotypical barriers. BLT has the potential to open a wide venue for Asians to play larger roles that do not include the stereotype in which Asians typically become characterized.

Lin also received high praise for the challenges he endured while making BLT BLT brought an audience to the point of amazement with an opening night showing of a film that is truly the first of its kind.

I was upset for several reasons to see that this section is written completely in Spanish. First of all, the Spanish Section completely defies the purpose of journalism. It is a newspaper's job to effectively communicate the news in a way that can be understood to those with an elementary level reading skill. One might assume that everyone at the university surpasses this level of reading comprehension, but it is unacceptable to assume that everyone fluently reads Spanish. It does not take a genius to realize that there is a significant population of students that do not speak or read Spanish, and I find this offensive and discriminatory. I am part of the student population that does not speak Spanish, and because of this I am unable to understand even the titles of the articles because they too are in Spanish. The content of the Spanish Section includes information concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated a portion of readers by assuming that the non-Spanish speakers or readers are not interested in the news in this section. I understand that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has English as a second language. These students were driven* to learn a second language so that they could have the same opportunities as English speaking students, and because of their hard work, obtained a level of competency that allowed them acceptance into the university. the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic community. I see this section as a problem because myself, as well as other students, have been excluded from reading a section of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available for all students to understand. The Spanish section of The Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an area that the Latino community has struggled with for so long. Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if any group should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community. I see the same problem having a German section or Asian section strictly written in those languages in the newspaper as well. The bottom line here is that this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM Amy Granite by preventing them from reading Sophomore, majoring in comthe articles. I would be interested munications in knowing what these articles I realize that we have a diverse are about, and I am sure other student body at CSUSM, but it is students feel the same way. R esponse t o S panish S ection By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor ¡Hola a todos! Primero que nada quisiera agradecer a todos los lectores de los artículos en español de The Pride y a todos aquellos que nos han felicitado por jesta sección. Esta sección al parecer ha creado algunas inconformidades. I*o cual me hace go back to business or to be more specific yet to respond to a recent letter received by the editorial staff. I, Martha Sarabia, currently one of two lead editors of The Pride as well as the editor of the Spanish section of our student newspaper want to clarify any misunderstandings created by having a Spanish section in The Pride. More specifically, the letter I am responding to was sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be answered. (I would also like to point out that I know this student and I really like her. Last year she was a member of The Pride staff. So, hi Amy!) Before I answer Amy's letter, I have a couple of things tp say by way of a preface: Spanish is my native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my life were pronounced in Spanish. This language is therefore a very big part of who I am today. This is why it is a privilege for me to promote my language to the CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this as a sign of discrimination. This was never our intention. But, oh well, what can we do? We can't please everyone. But now some basic points: many non-native speakers in our school that are studying Spanish, many of them even pursuing a Spanish major or minor. Then there's the group that studied abroad in Spain during this past summer: 90% were non-native speakers. I know this because I was part of this program. It feels great to know that so many First of all, journalism is not people are open minded as well a career exclusively pursued in as interested in other cultures English; it is practiced in almost and languages^ every language in the world.

I invite sity that we have in our student you to search the Internet and body. discover this world of journalism for yourself. Fourth, you say in your letter that the Spanish section of Second, as you might have The Pride has disregarded the already seen, or at least I hope concept of equal opportunity.

I know this because I talk when we include writing in a lanto many of them every day.

Krone Tristan Niekey Leiaria Na holowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall I believe that the intent of the editors who put the section together is good, but I think that the same articles can be relayed in English without taking away f rom the content or message behind the stories. It is not an unreasonable request that all students at CSUSM be able to read the articles in the school paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation would be to include the same articles in English side by side with those written in Spanish. the Spanish-speaking community instead of just what I have written as an individual? (When you wrote for The Pride were you representing the English-speaking community?) Whatever I do and write should be seen, criticized, and/or analyzed regardless of the group I belong to. You are denying me the right to have what I write read from an individual perspective instead of having everything that I am count before my writing. This leads to my fifth point: You mentioned, "if any group* should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community." I have news for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in any way responsible for this section. It was the decision of The Pride editorial team. Simply because I belong to this group and I am in charge of this section does not mean that whatever I do represents the Latino community or is something that the Latino community wants me to do. To suggest this is a misrepresentation. Why? Because I am just one person and one single person cannot repreSee RESPONSE, page 12 Letters to the editors should include an address, telephone number, e-mail and identification.

Speak up to Your G overnment I am writing to urge you to use your voice, because— when enough people speak, our leaders listen. President George Bush has been gradually taking on more power in the name of the War on Terrorism, and at the same time removing more of our personal freedoms. Now he wants to go to war, whether the rest of the world agrees or not. Do you have an opinion about the War on Iraq? Then say it — to our leaders. Our right to f ree speech is precious. We must exercise it to preserve it. This is what I have done in the last two months, and you can do any part of this and feel better about yourself as a participant in this democracy: I telephoned my president, congressman, and senators.

I'd really like to hear some type of input from students, or people in the payroll department who make this happen.

CougarBookRentals. com �S TUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES Keeping you healthier, a little wealthier, and wise BYTORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Hie beginning of the academic year is a great time for both new and returning students to learn about services offered by CSUSM, especially ones that can not only keep you healthy, but also keep a little more money in your pocket. Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) is located directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road at 120 Craven Road. Its within easy walking distance of campus, and offers a significant amount of health services for free, or at reduced prices, to students. I got a chance to sit down with Dr. Karen Nicholson, SHCS's medical director, to talk about how SHCS can help you as a student. PRIDE: What would you say are the most important services offered here? DR. NICHOLSON: Well, the most common thing we see students for are issues surrounding family planning and sexual health... We have a free services program called Family PACT. It provides family planning to students who qualify, both men and woman. That could be free pap smear, free birth control, free STD screenings for women. For young men, it can include free STD screens and condoms. It's our third year of providing Family PACT. (For more information about the program and to find out if you qualify, stop by SHCS and talk to the Family PACT registration coordinator Monday through Thursday from 9am to 1 l am or 2pm to 4pm, Friday from 9am to 1 lam.). We see a lot of headaches, sore throats, upset stomachs... We also see a lot of students for depression and anxiety. If students have stress or depression, we refer students to our counseling section, which is part of this center. We have three staff psychologists and a part time psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. W hat d o you t hink is t he most i mportant t hing f or students t o know about SCHS? Something t hat you would want incoming students t o know? As a registered student, students can see medical providers and counselors for free, with the exception of the psychiatrist. If a student needs to come every day, there's no co-pay. There are some charges for labs or medications, but not all of them. It's also good for students to know that we have a registered pharmacist on staff, and we carry a lot of over the counter medications at significantly reduced prices for students. We also look for ways to help students save money on their medications. They're not obligated to use our pharmacy. We'll tell you if a medication might be cheaper at Walmart or Costco. So why would students with health insurance come to SCHS? Sometimes, it's just more convenient to come here. If students who have insurance see us, there's no co-pay. If they need a prescription, sometimes they can submit the receipt back to the insurance company to be reimbursed. (WRITER'S NOTE: The Family PACT program offered by SHCS mentioned earlier can also help students who have insurance, but need confidential sexual health services outside of their insurance.) Tell me about SCHS providing vaccines. I know you were sending out e-mails left and right when people needed the H1N1 vaccine last year. We offer a lot of vaccines. We'll have the flu shot in early fall, no later than the end of September. We'll advertise the dates of the clinics. This year, the regular flu shot and H1N1 vaccine will be combined in one shot. It was about $10 for students to receive the seasonalfluvaccine last year, and it'll probably be about the same this year... We also have the vaccines for Hepatitis A and B, Tdap which is the tetanus shot, the meningitis vaccine, MMR, and Gardisil, the HPV vaccine that has now been approved for use in both men and women.. All of our vaccines are $65 or less, except Gardasil. It's $120 per shot, because it's so new. So, what about H1N1? I've also heard about whooping cough starting to be a problem in elementary and high school. We're in contact with the county and we help them manage any potential outbreaks, so we're well prepared for anything. Most of the stuff people are hearing about whooping cough in the media is happening to little kids. However, we do know that adults can spread it to children, so we mostly want to make sure students PHOTOS BY: TORIA BODDEN//THE PRIDE who work with kids are immunized. What about emergency services? Do you have any advice f or students if they have an emergency? We don't have an emergency room here, and we don't offer urgent care. We are in a good location, though, with emergency response teams on both sides of us, that can transport students quickly to either Tri City Medical Center or Palomar Hospital... We do have same day appointments, though. These aren't for life threatening emergencies, but they're for urgent problems that happen overnight. We keep these appointments blocked off until the day of the appointment. Typically, even in non-urgent situation, people can get appointments in one to two days. The wait for counseling appointments does get longer as the semester progresses. One last question» since I know this is information that may be very important to both our male and female readers. What are your resources for dealing with sexual assault? If any student is the victim of a sexual or physical assault, they can come here for an initial evaluation, which will include a conversation with one of our police officers. We're not a sexual assault response team (SART) center. The closest one is at Palomar. However, between clinical help and counseling support, we do everything we can to help the student. There's also a new webpage from the Women's Center website about sexual assault advocacy that may help students (http://www.csusm.edu/sadv/sa/ index.html). For more information about SCHS and its services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/ shcs/or call 760-750-4915. �T AKE SPOME OA CTION ' WEEKS O F W ELCOME' ROVIDES T ONS F WAYS T O G ET I NVOLVED BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR There really is a place to ask a nice, friendly person for directions.

"We want to encourage students to be involved in the arts outside of the classroom. Its recreational, therapeutic, relaxing and expressive. It gives students a creative space," stated Marilyn Huerta, Arts Association Advisor. Huerta, realizing there wasn't an art organization, began asking students last year if they would be interested in starting a student art organization. "In the past we've had about 120 members. I expect to continue growing," stated Huerta. Last year, the Arts Association organized events that included Hope for Haiti Art Auction, Falling on Winter Student Art Exhibit, Love Your Body Day in collaboration with the ASI Women's Center and Operation Art, an exhibit dedicated to veterans. I he Arts Association will kick off the fall semester with a student exhibit that will showcase student work in the Arts building. "This club is great for art students who want to step out of their shell, show their work and get feedback. It also gives the average student a creative space to express themselves," said Heurta. Last semester, two Arts Association members, Kevin* Cruz and Brittany Galante, won a student contest in which they were selected to paint the mural on the storage sheds located near the basketball courts at The Clarke Field House. "Through events we do, you are able to network with people who are in thefieldyou're interested in," stated Lauren Reynoso, Arts Association President. Although the club executives haven't met yet to discuss this semester's calendar, Reynoso would like to collaborate with SDSU and UCSD in the future, who both have student art organizations, and create a San Diego Art Association. Meetings are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at noon in ART 342. Students can join by emailing Marilyn Huerta at mhuerta@csusm.edu, Prowlin' the Kitchen Lauren Reynoso at reyno46@cougars.csusm.edu or by showing up at a meeting. The Arts Association is currently looking tofillthe secretary and creative director position. The Arts Association will be participating in the "Leave Your Mark" events held on September 21, in the Library Plaza from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. "If there's a student who has an idea to do something, bring it to the table and we'll try and make it happen," said Huerta.

The film has a "fresh" rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes, and promises psychological and emotional depth mixed with some graphic violence. "Harry Brown" is a reminder that members of the greatest generation still have guts of steel. OSS 117: Lost in Rio A spoofy spy series that's been a hit in France.

MEDIA COURTESYAMAZON.COM BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR Various Artists // Now 35: That's What I Call Music // Capitol Records I cannot believe this compilation is up to the 35th version. Disbelief aside, this is one of the cheapest ways to get a bunch of top hits in one collection. Retailing at $9.99 on Amazon.com, it's less than half the price of buying the tracks individually. Now 35 includes hits by Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, La Roux and others. Heart // Red Velvet Car // Sony Legacy You read that right. Heart is releasing a new album. Truth be told, I thought the band dissolved sometime in the 80s, and they haven't had a top ten hit since 1990s "All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You." The band is promoting this as their "most personal and powerful work yet." Their current tour is coming to Universal City in mid-September, and tickets can be had for as little as $15.

The recent Electronic Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the LA Coliseum on June 25 and 26,2010, attracted over 135,000 attendees, making it the largest rave in North America. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl overdosed on ecstacy and within days headlines filled Southern California newspapers and the LA Coliseum put a temporary ban on raves at the venue. The reputable venue EDC was held at and the 18 and over age requirement did not prevent this fatality. "Drug use can have risks but that doesn t make raves unsafe, it makes drug use potentially unsafe," said Nathan Messer, President of DanceSafe, a non-profit harm reduction organization. DanceSafe has addressed the rising concern that drug use is a dangerous and prevalent occurrence in the rave scene. The organizations Web site, www.dancesafe.org, uses education and awareness as the key to making raves a safer environment. The site has drug information, health and safety tips, as well as drug screening test kits that can take a small amount of an ecstasy pill and test it for other potentially dangerous additives. "We neither condone nor condemn drug use. Rather, we believe that each person should make their own choices, and that people DO make better choices when given pointers to good information," stated Messer. A few unfortunate events have given raves a poor reputation for being a drug-centric, unsafe environment and has lead police, legislatures and local communities to fight against the new culture of electronic dance music. The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, released "Rave Parties: A ProblemOriented Guide for Police," in 2002. "The use of rave-related drugs has not been strongly linked to other crimes and unlike other youth events or other types of concerts, raves do not typically involve much assault," stated Michael S. Scott, a former chief of police and author of the COPS "Rave Parties" guide. "Rave culture discourages sexual aggressiveness, and while some drugs do lower sexual inhibitions, they also can inhibit sexual performance. So in some respects, raves are safer places for young people, especially women, than conventional bars and clubs," stated Scott. The acronym that the rave culture lives by is PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Responsibility was added to the mantra in the late 1990s to increase awareness of drug overdoses at raves. A junior at CSUSM majoring in Literature and Writing, who chose to be referred to by her given rave name, Raggedy Ann, has attended five raves. "I like the music at raves. Its like every time I go to the club they play crappy rap music that I don t want to dance to. People [at raves] are all really nice and just want to dance," said Ann. "I don t feel like the amount of security or police affects the quality of a rave. They are there to make sure there are no fights and to just have a presence." For first time ravers, expect a high entrance fee. Raves are often accompanied by extravagant light shows and various DJs. The music is loud, so bringing a pair of earplugs along will protect your hearing. "Ravers should be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing, drink plenty of water if they are sweating, and take breaks from dancing to rest and cool off. Rave-related drug users should also eat salty foods to prevent hyponatraemia," stated Scott. In addition, you should also be able to spot warning signs to a potentially dangerous rave environment. "If it is so overcrowded that it is impossible to get to exits easily, if fire doors are locked or blocked, if security isn't searching for weapons, if cold water is shut off in the restrooms, if bottled water is sold without the caps so you can t refill it and carry it with you, all of these are bad signs. Also, some sorts of medical staff should be present for any event with more than about 500 people," stated Messer. The upcoming Abstract Festival will be held on September 11, 2010, at the San Diego Sports Arena from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. There will be two stages and you must be 18 to attend. A full bar will be available for those who are 21 and over. Tickets can be purchased on abstractfest.com and prices range from $40 to $90.
