Recent comments made by state Sen.
William A. Craven about undocumented
Latino laborers, as reported in a February
San Diego Union-Tribune article, have
raised concerns over Craven's place in Cal
State San Marcos' development as a university.
According to Dr. Edward Thompson,
president of the Academic Senate, Craven
(R- Oceanside) reportedly made unfavorable comments about undocumented
workers during a hearing on the issue in
early February. Afterfindingout about the
comments, the Academic Senate sent a
letter to the senator asking to clarify his
remarks as reported in the story, h e said.
Thompson said t h e c oncerns surrounded comments reported in the Feb. 6
article where "he, in some respects, compared his hearings to aspects of lthe
McCarthy hearings and hinting that there
were good things about those hearings."
In fact, the article states that Craven
"...compared his investigation of migrant
issues to that of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's
hearings on alleged Communist infiltration of government in the 1950s, saying he
did n o t s e e a nythin g w ron g with
McCarthy's questioning either."
The article further elaborated by reporting that Craven made commentsabout
Latino workers'place in humanity.
"It seems rather strange that we go out
of our way to take care of the rights of
these individuals who are perhaps on the

lower scale of our humanity, for one reason or another," the article directly quoted
Craven as saying.
"(There was a concern about) his
characterization of immigrants as being of
a lower level of humanity," said Thompson, "and this was a concern to the faculty
because it goes against the university's
Mission Statement"
Thompson said that Craven responded
to the Faculty Senate's letter by writing

so much about them in humanity, but in
t erm s of t h e e conomy, " explained
Thompson.
Copies of both letters could not be obtained by press time, but have been circulated among the faculty on campus, said
Thompson.
Thompson's other concern, however,
is that this incident could be blown out of
proportion, saying that it is in the interest
of the university to continue a dialogue
with Craven on clarifying something that
may not have meant as it appears.
When asked about rumors that had
surfaced that some members of the university community might call for Craven's
name to be removedfromthe hall which it
now adorns, Thompson said that he was
not aware of it being mentioned.
"That has not been posed as a concrete
option," said Thompson, adding that the
Faculty Senate has not yet discussed further steps in the dialogue established between the group and Craven.
"This man has been instrumental in
founding this university," h e said.
Gerardo Gonzales, a psychology professor who is involved with the Latino
Association of Faculty and Staff (LAFS),
had stronger opinions about what Craven
reportedly said.

Cal State San Marcos seeks
full WASC accreditation
ROMAN S. KOENIG/
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
When it comes to gaining full
accreditation from the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges, Dr. Richard Millman says
Cal State San Marcos isn't afraid
to pursue the recognition two
years earlier than is normally required.
According to Millman, who
serves as vice-president for academic affairs and accreditation
liaison officer to WASC, the university is seeking full recognition
now.
"We have six years to apply for
full accreditation," said Millman,
"but with the quality of staff and
students we felt it necessary to go
for the accreditation now four
years into the university's existence."
Millman explained that there
are three levels of accreditation:
full, provisional or candidacy. A
new university, h e said, cannot
have full accreditation.
CSUSM went through provisional accreditation in 1989-90,
he said.
"We have the most accreditation we can possibly have right
'One can never predict what an accreditation team will
say, but this is an awfully good place.'
Dr. Richard Millman, vice president for academic affairs
now as a new university," said
Millman.
In order to receive full accreditation now, Millman said that the
university had to develop a selfstudy, a document280pages long
outlining what CSUSM wants to
accomplish as a university. The
WASC committee, made up of 12
members, that visits the campus
will review this document and
see if the university is meeting up
to the nine standards set out in
the study.
Millman said once the study is
reviewed by the visiting committee, it will report its findings to
the university, interview CSUSM
President Dr. Bill Stacy and
presentitsfullreportto the WASC
accreditation board, which will
then determine if the institution
will be given full accreditation.
a
I have enormous confidence
in our faculty and in our curriculum that well get accreditation,"
said Millman. "We're all so close
to the university we sometimes
forget how good our curriculum
and staff and students are.*
According to Millman, t h e
head of the university accreditatio n c ommitte e i s Carol
Cartwright, president of Kent
State University.
One important factor, according to Millman, in the accreditation process is the holding of open
forums for participation by faculty, students and staff. One forum is planned for each group, h e
said.
The student forum is scheduled for March 24 at 12 p.m.,
according to Nancy Curry, who is
involved with CSUSM's end of
the accreditation process. Additional information about t h e
meeting can be obtained by calling Curry at 752-4129.
Millman expressed confidence
in CSUSM's ability to gain accreditation.
"One can never predict what
an accreditation team will say,
but this is an awfully good place."
Capitol rally frustrates AS representatives
KATHY COMBS/
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A consorted effort to keep tuition fees in check left members
of the Associated Student Council frustrated and cynical when
they joined in a rally March 8.
Over 500 students from the
California State Student Association met on the front steps of the
Capitol building to protest fees
that have escalated by as much as
40 percent over the past year.
"Student Lobby Day" also included workshops to focus on
other problems related to financing a college education.
T h e students participated but
were not heard," said AS President Laura Mitchell. "We left
feeling somewhat cynical about
what legislators will do for the
students."
One bone of contention was a
proposal which would cause students to fund one-third of their
education. According to Karen
Yelverton, associate director of
governmental affairs for the California State University system,
students only pay 19 percent of
an average $7,800 annual c ost ,
she said. To offset the cost, the
fee hikes would be coupled with a
substantial increase in financial
aid, she added. The added cost
would be phased in over the next
three years.
"We're working on the premise
t ha t t her e is no more s tat e
money," Yelverton said. "I don't
believe that even if there is some
miraculous recovery that we will
see any pennies from heaven in
the next few years."
Yelverton added that CSU
shouldmovetowardapartnership
between the state, the students
and their parents.
"The theory is that we not only
have to reevaluate how we operate from the administrative and
teaching perspective," she said.
We also have to look at the level
of subsidiary that the state can :
afford to give students."
Yelverton warned that without
the badly needed funds, tenure
faculty layoffs will be the next
step.
"If we use this new system
there is new revenue," she said.
Mitchell said she opposes the
plan citing that it "pits the faculty
against the students."
"This is very harmful to students," she charged. "Legislators are making bad assumptions.
Financial aid will not balance the
fee hikes."
Mitchell said students need to
take a stand against the increases.
She added that AS plans to create
a report that will show the best
way to contact the legislators in
their area. Too many state officials
believe students are apathetic,
she said.
"We're oldpr and wiser and we
need to let them know t hat, "
Mitchell said.

It's a place to find a mentor,

feeling a little lost, they'll even
give you directions.
At the new Student Resource
C enter , w orkshops , s uppor t
groups, private counseling and a
map of Craven Hall are only a few
of the services offered to students
at Cal State San Marcos. In addition to regular seminars on
topics from becoming part of a
"single parenting network," to
reducing "math anxiety", a menu
driven computer software system
is available to help students developbetter study skills. A "grade
obsession" workshop is also on
the agenda for March 18.
According to Dr. Patty ElenzMartin, counseling psychologist
for CSUSM, the services can be
especially useful to students who
have transferred from a community college.
The transfer students have to
put in more time at CSUSM than
at the community college, she
said. "If they can study more
effectively they're able to do better with less time."
Elenz-Martin said the center,
which houses over 100 audio
tapes, a dozen video tapes on
stress management, diet and
ways to quit smoking, was designed to meet t h e needs of
CSUSM's unique student population. The majority of students
are re-entry students, she said,
they have jobs and families.
"The center is a place students
can come in and relax, feel comfortable," she said. "So many of
the students are so busy, they
don't take time for themselves."
The Student Resource Center
isn't only for busy students. In
the near future, services will be
expanded to aid disabled students, as well.
And Elenz-Martin maintains
feedback is always welcome.

Craven comments are of concern, but don't jump to conclusions yet
In this time of increased racial intolerance both here in the United States and
abroad, itisrefreshing to go to a university
such as Cal State San Marcos, a learning
institution that is working hard to knock
down the barriers of ignorance and build
bridges of understanding.
However, a dark cloud has now overshadowed this bright spot, and moreover
it surrounds one man who has given so
much to the university that the campus'
crown jewel is named after him.
There is no doubt that Sen. William A.
Craven is to be applauded and recognized
in this institution's history as one of the
major figures in creating this university.
Butif the reported quotes in the SanDiego
Union-Tribune's Feb. 6 edition concerning
migrant workers are direct and not perhaps a misinterpretation or misrepresentation of what the senator said, his place in
history here should be given a good lookover.
But there is the catch word — "if."
The Union-Tribune article has clear,
direct quotes from Craven that seem to
convey a lack of knowledge of the problems of migrant workers.
His comparisons of his hearings 011 the
issue of migrant workers to the hearings
of Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s and his
investigations into Communist activity are
uncalled for.
these individuals who are perhaps on the
lower scale of our humanity, for one reason or another," the article directly quoted
Craven.
These few words can be interpreted in
two basic ways: either Craven sees the
American population (mainly white) as
superior, or he means that they are at the
lower end of "our humanity" in reference
to the fact that they do not or cannot have
the material wealth and help they need
economically.
He may very well have meant it in the
least harmful way — but either his words
didn't come outright or the reporter didn't
write them down correctly. One of the big
problems in journalism is that reporters
are human and can make mistakes (unless
they use a tape recorder) — one word out
of place or changed can alter an entire
phrase of what a person says to mean
something entirely different.
Pioneer applauds Dr. Ed Thompson ,
Academic Senate president, for expressing the need for dialogue in this matter
r athe r t ha n conclusion-jumping. He
stressed that the Academic Senate wants
to clarify with Craven what was said instead of simply punishing or finger-pointing.
Depending on how one interprets what
Craven said, it can appear as if those words
are in direct conflict with this university's

PIONEER
We at Pioneer are angered that such a
respected official would look to McCarthy
and his charade as a positive way of describing what February's hearing concerning migrants was all a bou t
"Craven, R-Oceanside, compared his
investigation of migrant issues to that of
Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings on alleged Communist infiltration of government in the 1950s, saying h e did not see
anything wrong with McCarthy's questioning, either," the Union-Tribune story
reported.
However much Pioneer disagrees with
Craven's apparent interpretation of the
McCarthy era, it is his right to hold that
viewpoint and should thus not be punished for it by losing credibility here at Cal
State San Marcos.
Wherethebigquestionscomeintoplay
are when Craven reportedly describes his
views on the migrant issue.
a
It seems rather strange that we go out
of our way to take care of the rights of
Mission Statement of tolerance and inclusion.
But we don't know if Craven's words
just came out wrong 0f h e even believes
they came out wrong) or if the translation
from speech to print was disrupted somewhere along the line.
Certainly, Pioneer cannot yet judge; we
have yet to obtain the Academic Senate's
letter and Craven's written response, we
haven'tyet spoken with arepresentative of
the Union-Tribune or of Craven's office.
Within the short time that this story surfaced and the deadline for press there
simply wasn't the time needed to delve
further — but we will do so in the next
issue.
Until further facts and interpretations
come out, it is important that no one condemn Craven. Once all the facts are in,
then people can make individual judgements and the university can decide what
its next step will be.
Rumors have surfaced that there will be
a call to have Craven's name removed
from the building that bears it, and this
was confirmed by Gerardo Gonzales in the
story in this issue.
If Craven ends up agreeing with the
reported quotes and negative interpretations of what h e said, then that will be a
valid call to action.
But as before — "if," and only "if."

'Damage' and 'The Crying G
ame'play with viewer expectations
Because audiences determine the longevity offilms,filmmakersoften provide
formulaic story formats in order to statiate
their viewers' expectations. In Louis
Malle's "Damage" and Neil Jordan's
"Crying Game," however, audience expectation, falling prey to directorial manipulation, becomes the medium for innovative cinematic artistry,
v Rather than astound audiences with an
unforeseeable plot, Malle does his "Damage" through the magnification of the film's
inevitability. If not in the title's blatancy,
viewers will ascertain the picture's direction in a crucial opening scene wherein
Stephen (Jeremy Irons) and Anna (Juliette
Binoche) first meet, their eyes engaging
in silent certitude.
Having delineated the principle characters' relationships (Stephen is a married
man; Anna is his son's lover), Malle immediately presents thefilm'sconflict and thus
incites a premature tension which, even
when the affair seems most sheltered,
viewers cannot ignore. We may hope for
their liaison to thrive, but our rational
minds terminate such fanciful thoughts.
But Stephen's rationality has been
overcome by infatuation. About halfway
into the film, he speaks of divorcing his
wife (Miranda Richardson) in order to be
with his mistress. Understanding the
mechanism of desire, Anna quickly informs him that such an action would
achieve nothing, as attraction, in this case,
derives from their relationship's impossibility. Here, thecrux of thefilmemerges in
anadage: people always want what they do

not (and cannot) have.
Through a bit of dialogue, Anna reveals
that her insight comes from personal experiences, for this present love triangle
mirrors that of an earlier episode — one
which ended in tragedy.
Forthemostpart, however, Malle keeps
the dialogue to a minimum, allowing the
actors' eyes to say a great deal more than
their mouths. This minimalist approach
further increases the tension, and affords
the film a cryptic aura. This is especially
the case with Anna, whose appearance
suggests both masculine and feminine attributes, and who, at the film's climax,
while slipping away from the devastation
she has provoked, becomes a metaphor
for unattainable desire.
Whereas Malle performs his experimentation within the confines of viewer
expectation, Jordan workshis magic at the
opposite extreme, shattering the confines
and whirling viewer perceptions into a
gyre of impracticability. Yet his center
somehow holds.
Such a center emerges by way of the
parable Jody (Forest Whitaker) — a black
British soldier kidnapped by IRA members — relates to Irish terrorist Fergus

ordan's "The C g Game."
ryin
(StephenRea),theessenceofwhich states
that humans will act according to their
natures — some will be stingers, others
will be stung. All who watch thisfilmwill
find themselves in the latter grouping.
The word "game" of the title fits perfectly, as every scene involves one, not
excluding the film's opening in which a
slow pan captures, beneath a bridge, a
carnival in the distance. Along with this
odd sight, the crooning of Percy Sledge's
"When a Man Loves a Woman" rouses
suspicious thoughts — what lies beneath
that glossy surface?

has other, more profound statements to
make, and it does so by turning from Jody
(although he remains a vital character in
t h e story) to his girlfriend Dil Gaye

England. Here, Jordan executes the sting
of the century in a surprise scene that ties
together all loose ends.

"Even now, I feel that his explanation is not sufficient," he said
concerning Craven's response to
the Academic Senate, of which
Gonzales is also a member. "And
since I'm a member of his target
group as a Latino, I'm very concerned (about what he said) *
Gonzales said that there have"
been a number of ideas that have
surfaced to show dissatisfaction
Over what was reportedly said,
including protesting the dedication of Craven Hall in April and
removing Craven'snamefromthe
building.
He said that LAFS will be holding a meeting this Thursday, at
which the issue of the UnionTribune article will be discussed.
Although university president
Dr. Bill Stacy was out of town and
could not be reached for comment, Executive Vice President
Dr. Ernest Zomalt expressed
views on the situation.
"It (the story) was reported
differently in the Blade-Citizen,
so I don't know what was said,"
according to Zomalt T h e senator indicates that his comments
in the (Union-Tribune) did not
represent his position."

"I think there is a pretty good
history of his commitment to the
university" when it comes to his
dedication to the university and

Zomalt said he had an understanding of the situation since he
dealt with reports last year that
Cal State San Marcos was going
to close, when it turned out not to
be the case.

which also ran Feb. 6, had no
