BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
Jan. 28-Students, Faculty,

hours to allow the festivities to

The event drew hundreds of
students who lined up for f ree
food and special 20th anniversary memorabilia. San Diego

lucky students won in a r affle.
President Haynes was among
many campus and community

the occasion with students.
"Cal State San Marcos has
evolved into a campus with a
pioneering can-do spirit, committed to building on our role as
a driver of economic, cultural,

saying, "CSUSM has contributed to the economic growth
and success of our region,
with nearly 90% of its alumni
staying in the region, providing a pool of skilled and tal-
ented workers." Vice Mayor
M artin also recognized the
work students do f or the community, acknowledging the
more than 165,000 community service hours students
p erform annually for the city
of San Marcos.
Vice Mayor M artin concluded his speech with the
proclaimed the City of San
Marcos would o fficially recognize Jan. 28 as " California
State University San Marcos
Day. Students cheered at the
news, a recognition by the
community of the pivotal role
CSUSM plays in the area.
One of the major highlights of the event was the
unveiling of a special 20th
a nniversary f lag.
Members of the University Police
D epartment were present to
r aise the new f lag, which
will now f ly alongside our
state and national f lags f or

W omen's Softball
team makes
school proud on
new field
BY MALLANE DRESSEL
Pride Staff Writer
The women's s oftball team
s tarted out the season with a
double-header win over t he
University of R edlands, t he
f inal scores being 6-1, and
4-3.
T his f irst game of the new
season was a m onumental
occasion. It o ccurred on the
new s oftball f ield located
behind the Clarke b uilding.
The a ttendance of t he g ame
was over t riple of last seasons o ff campus g ames. *Vr
Alyssa D ronenburg, who
was r esponsible f or two
h omeruns in the f irst g ame,
t hinks that the new f ield will
help develop the p rogram
f urther, and give the team
more s upport. T his season
she looks forward to beating her b atting stats f rom
last year, as well as w ining a
National Championship with
her t eam.
The new coach f or t he
C ougars, Dave W illiams,
even put in labor and t ractor d riving t ime in order to
get the f ield completed f or
t his season. He said t he f ield
was made p ossible w ith t he
strong b acking of t he U niversity. He believes t he new
f ield will give t he t eam t he
c omfort, and f ans they were
lacking last s eason.
Coach Williams is blessed
with a veteran heavy s quad,
which he believes w ill give
t he team added c onfidence
and composure under pressure. T his d efinitely seemed
the case in the second game,
when the C ougars were down
t hree in t he 5th, and made a
comeback to t ie in t he 6th.
Chanel Rose pitched two
outs, and with b ases loaded,
B renna Sandberg came in
t o get the last out. Together
they held o ff the Redland
Bulldogs to keep t he tie.

Budget p roposal offers hope for C S U b udget w oes
BY BEN ROFFEE
News Editor
Aiîiidst
a
statewide
f inancial crisis,
Governor
Schwarzenegger unveiled a
n ev| p lan, earlier this month to
assist C alifornia's beleaguered
public
higher
education
systems. Gov, Schwarzenegger
unvéîïècfto the state legislature
his budget for f iscal year 20102011, which would restore
$305 million to the CSU
budget. Alongside that, the
new budget would also allocate
an additional $60.6 million to
account for enrollment growth.
The restoration of f unds lost
in the so-called "one-time"
budget cuts of2009-2010 is good
news for the CSU system and
higher education in California
as a whole, which has suffered
heavily during California's
most recent budget crisis.
Though this is certainly good
news for an ailing university
system, California must receive
a base amount of federal aid
before it extends the additional
$60.6 million in aid. The other
$305 million restored in the
proposed budget would not be
a ffected by this requirement.
Just days before revealed
his
new
budget,
Gov.
Schwarzenegger said in his
State of the State address,
"Because our f uture economic
well-being is so dependent
upon education, I will protect
education f unding in t his
budget. We can no longer
a fford to cut higher education."
In the same speech Governor
Schwarzenneger pointed to
the longstanding discrepancy
between f unding for prisons
and higher education as an
impetus for r e-prioritizing
higher education in government
spending p rograms.

BY BILL RHEIN

When I was younger,
I used to love the fastpaced action movies.
Thanks to my library
card, I was renting
R-rated flicks with
explosions, guns, and
violence before I could
see them anywhere else. One of
the common ingredients in these
films was John Travolta.
I used to love films like
"Broken Arrow," which is still
fun to watch occasionally for a
90-minute romp in outrageous
action. After that, I also saw other
Travolta films such as "Pulp Fiction," which is one of the best
films ever, and "Face-off," which
I still have mixed feelings about,
but it is still pretty good.
Yet now, Travolta seems like
he is losing his touch. He is now
competing with Nicolas Cage
well as Travolta's performances.
Now, he seems to be spiraling out
of control.
His new bald look makes
him look deranged and nothing like his former self that got
me excited to see his movies. I
face.
If the "Paris" trailer is any
indication of how Travolta's performance is going to turn out, it
seems like he will just be phoning it in, just as in "Pelham." Not
only does he look more ridiculous, he is missing the fire in his
eye and the swagger he used to
have in earlier films.
Going back to his career, it now'
seems laughable the he was the
star of "Saturday Night Fever"
and "Grease." I might not be the
biggest fans of those movies, but
I cannot deny they are iconic, as

InterVarsity helps Haiti heal

to benefit earthquake victims
and their families in Haiti at the

varsity's benefit show featured
two live student bands, original
artwork and a lively atmosphere
that attracted more than 150
people.
InterVarsity student team
member, Allison Ogllvida, a
freshman at CSUSM, greeted
people at the door and managed
the donation box. "I am just
excited to do something for Haiti
and this is definitely a school
wide turn out," said Ogllivida.
Attendees were encouraged to
make a $10 donation at the door
but the concert was offered at no
charge. "We wanted to not only
send money to Haiti, but also
send our prayers to them."
InterVarsity members also
made an extra effort to generate
more money for Haiti by selling
hand-made hemp prayer bracelets at the door for $5 each. All
donations made will be given to
World Vision to benefit the victims in Haiti in immediate need
and for long-term needs, according to InterVarsity's group Facebook homepage.
InterVarsity grand total for
donations came to $1148 just
barely marking half of their
expected goal.
"We want t o bring life and
hope back to Haiti," said Tyler
Allreb, a member of the administration for InterVarsity. "This
is a chance to stand together with
our brothers in Haiti, we want to
offer our thoughts and prayers to
them."
In between band performances, Becky Jenken presented
her original artwork inspired by
the recent Haiti tragedy. She presented a painting of a tree that's
growth showed pre-earthquake
Haiti images and below the
trees undergrowth of branches
showed post-earthquake images.
She asked the audience to write
words of encouragement on the
her painting that would signify
the tree's roots and the words
would represent the tree's growth
and recovery. The interactive art
piece was followed by a moment
of silence in respect to the lives
lost in Haiti and a prayer for the
survivors.
Not only did this concert generate money for Haiti but also generated awareness. "I j ust heard
about the earthquake today," said
Jesse Sanchez, an InterVarsity
member of the Mira Coast College chapter. "I am really self
motivated to be here, I didn't
make a donation with money,
but I made a donation with my
p rayers"

the effects of the economy still remained.
He said, "One in 10 Americans still cannot
find work. Many businesses have shattered.
President Barack Obama has now officially Home values have declined. Small towns

President Obama admitted in his State of harder."
He spoke about the introduction of the
the Union address that the devastation from
Image courtesy of Zimbo.com
Recovery Act, also known as the Stimulus
Bill, as the plan that has helped get the economy back on its feet by allowing tax cuts and
saving and creating jobs.
President Obama had promised to impose
new financial regulations, according to polifact.com. This bill which, among other things,
would allow the government to intervene in
companies that are failing and will pose a
risk to the economy. This bill has passed the
House of Representatives and is awaiting the
approval of the Senate.
Health Care reform was one of the President's main election promises and he admitted in his address that the country had never
been closer. He said, "After nearly a century
of trying ~ Democratic administrations,
Republican administrations ~ we are closer
than ever to bringing more security to the
lives of so many Americans."
Another election promise involved the
withdrawal of troops from Iraq, "As we take
the fight to al Qaeda, we are responsibly leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what
I am doing as President. We will have all of
our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of
this August," said President Obama.
He also pledged to increase troop num-
bers in Afghanistan; this is a promise he has
already kept. "And in Afghanistan, we're
increasing our troops and training Afghan
security forces so they can begin to take the
lead in July of 2011, and our troops can begin
to come home," he said during his address.
President Obama has decided to make
the creation of more jobs his top priority in
2010 by creating a new jobs bill. In the 2008
election, Barack Obama received 66% of the
18-29 year old voting bracket, according to
CNN.com.
Jessica Drizin is an avid Democratic supporter, who believes Obama has had a difficult but good first year. She said, "I think
considering the opposition that he has faced
from the far right, he's achieved as much as
he can. I think his policies and ideas will help
America head in the right direction, if we can
get both sides working together."
However not all students are in favor of
Obama.
Scott Silveria, vice chairman of the College
Republicans here at Cal State San Marcos
thinks the country is in a worse state under
Barack Obama than it was a year ago. He said,
"I think he's doing this best he can but I don't
agree with how he's fixing our problems and
the direction he's taking us in."

T HE P RIDE
Superbowl XLIV preview
BY JEFF ECONOMEDIES
Pride Staff Writer
The much anticipated Super
Bowl XLIV will air on February
7, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET live at
Sun Life Stadium in Miami
Gardens, Florida USA. This
year's Championship match
will feature the American
Football Conference Champion
Indianapolis Colts vs. the
National Football Conference
champion New Orleans Saints.
For Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts, the nerves
and intensity leading up to the
big game will be somewhat
familiar considering this will
be their second trip to the Super
bowl in four years. For Drew
Brees and the New Orleans
Saints, however, the Super bowl
is a level of competition the
entire organization has never
experienced.
For the people and city of New
Orleans, life in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina's devastation
has been difficult. This Super
Bowl birth has proven to be
a sign for how well the city
has recovered. A win would
definitely give the city reason for
celebration like never before.
After starting the season 14-0,
the Colts made a controversial
decision to begin to prepare
for the Super Bowl by resting
their starters instead of chasing
to join the legendary company
of the 1972 Dolphins to finish
a perfect, undefeated, season
with a championship. The Colts
are four quarters away from
vindication headed by one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all
time. The Colts also have other
offensive weapons that will make
them a force to be reckoned with.
Most notably these include wide
receiver Reggie Wayne and tight
end Dallas Clark, who has proven
to be a most reliable target for
Manning over the years. Also,
expect a couple of big plays from
Austin Collie, a fourth-round
rookie out of BYU who has been
an outstanding out of the slot and
is coming off of a career-high 123
receiving yards in the Colts AFC
Championship win over the Jets.
Overshadowed by an elite
offense, the Indianapolis Colts
defense is most likely going to
be the biggest X-factor in this
game. Under new defensive
coordinator, Larry Cover, the
Colts have played more effective
one-on-one coverage, mixed up
their zones, and utilized blitzes
efficiently. Gary Bracket, middle
linebacker and team captain will
surely set the tone for keeping the
New Orleans offense in check.
The biggest question mark for
the Colts defense heading into
Sunday will be how effective
Dwight Freeney will be given
his current ankle injury. Being so
quick around the edge this season,
he was capable of accomplishing
13 Vi sacks. Drew Brees and
the New Orleans offense will
definitely benefit if Freeney is
incapable of performing to his
potential.
Drew Brees (4,388 passing
yards, 34 TD, 11 INT this season)
is undoubtedly the heart and soul
of the Saints in this paramount
year for the New Orleans
franchise. In order for the Saints
to be successful this Super Bowl,
they are not only going to need an
all-star performance from Brees,
but are going to need much help
from their running game headed
by Reggie Bush and Pierre
Thomas. Reggie Bush hasn't had
the g r e a / ^ t f f i g i ^ t e
career, but opposing defenses
still fear his big play capability.
Pierre Thomas has totaled over
1,100 all-purpose yards as the
Saints' lead back this year
and you can expect similar
productivity this upcoming
match up. The running game is
going to be necessary in order
to open up the field for Brees
to find his key targets Marques
Colston, Devery Henderson, and
Robert Machem.
My Prediction: The high
octane no huddle offense
headed by the 4-time MVP
Peyton Manning is going to be
too much for the New Orleans
Saints to keep up with. More
importantly, the Colts defense
is considerably superior to the
defenses that the Saints faced
from the Cardinals and Vikings
this post season. Score: 34-27
From SOFTBALL, page 1
In the bottom of the last
f rame Lauren Nelson slid
home to clinch the win for the
Cougars a fter Erica Coelho
drove a single. Coelho also
made several great catches
f rom her third base position
that helped the Cougars attain
that perfect defense which
Coach Williams thought,
along with excellent hitting,
lead the Cougars to victory.
The team faces three consecutive home games on the
f irst weekend of February.
This seems like a g rueling
schedule, but Coach Williams believes that " ...early
in the season, g etting more
games is a healthy t hing
because in p ractice certain situations d on't come
up." From these early games
he hopes to see the m issing pieces in the t eam, and
f ix them in order to p repare
them for Nationals.
I spoke to several students;
most had never attended a
Softball game before for the
school. They believe that
more people will attend now
that the" home field is on
campus.
Travis Wilson, a f irst time
attendee, hopes to come
to all the home games this
season, j ust as long as it does
not impend on h is studies.
Wilson came to the game
to support h is fellow students because he believes
that the schools commuter
school s tereotype needs to
be destroyed in order to build
stronger school spirit. With
more students like Wilson
a ttending games, the team
will receive great s upport, as
well as make other students
r ealize the pride that they
should have for their school,
even if they do commute
there.
Complete effort propels baseball to sweep O regon Tech

to 1-4.
A fter managing j ust one run
in 12 innings against Point
Loma earlier in the week, the
Cougar offense entered Sunday's games with something
to p rove-and did so promptly
by plating five runs in the f irst
inning of game one.
^ a r d o M o r a n was then hit
by a pitch, and Steve Harris
ripped an RBI double to the gap
to extend the lead to 4. Finally,
Ryle Parks knocked a base hit
to center, plating Harris to give
the Cougars a big 5-0 lead.
On the mound, CSUSM
starting pitcher Chris Skaalen
looked very good. He allowed
j ust one run through five
innings before surrendering
a two-run shot in the sixth
and exiting. The bullpen was
excellent, with Eric Julienne,
Johnny Holtman and Spen-

The defense behind those
pitchers was also strong, not
committing an error o v t the
course of the game. Silvett
drove in the team's f inal un
with an RBI double in the sixth
inning.

There is always someone to impress Mycoskie returned to the country
(or depress) by your outfit. To get
somewhat philosophical, what you
wear communicates the essence of
your three w's: who you are, what
you're about, and what you believe.
Basically, you are what you wear,;
which is why a pair of sparkly gold
TOMS have recently won me over.
Prior to falling in love with
sequins, I thought TOMS to be the
most unattractive piece of shoe wear
in America, but put sequins on anything and 1 WILL buy it. In this case,
my beloved sequins found themselves on a pair of TOMS and my
wild desire to own them led to some
research on what the shoe company
is all about. TOMS, short for Shoes
four years later to do volunteer work
and was astounded by the number
of children who roamed barefoot,
thus the TOMS project was born.
Mycoskie enlisted craftsmen from
Argentina to design a durable
canvas shoe modeled by the ropesoled alpargatas - handmade canvas
slippers worn by local farmers.
For many children in third world
countries, owning a pair of shoes
allows them to receive an education, otherwise denied to them by
schools that prohibit attendance to
barefoot students, based on health
and hygienic concerns. In most of
the countries where TOMS are distributed, walking is a primary mode
of transportation. Walking with no
shoes makes bare feet susceptible to
cuts, sores, and parasitical infections
contracted from contaminated soil,
which often lead to amputation, or
death. These debilitating infections
are absolutely preventable by wearing shoes!
In 2009, Mycoskie was awarded
the ACE award by Hillary Clinton
which acknowledged his "leadership and innovation in the global
industry." Recently, Ralph Lauren
was invited to guest design a line
of vegan-friendly TOMS. Scarlett
Johansson, Sienna Miller, and even
the great Karl Lagerfeld (even my
computer knows who he is, I was
just spell-checked) are also TOMS
supporters. Whether we'll ever see a
pair of TOMS on a Chanel catwalk
remains to be seen, but the message
is clear: what we wear is who we
are. To wear TOMS is to be a part
of a movement working to improve
the lives and health of children

There has been a big
change in the beverage department at Cal State San
Marcos. Previously our
campus provided a variety
of brands of beverages, but
now, through an agreement
between University Auxiliary and Research Services Corporation (UARSC)
and PepsiCo, our school
has accepted PepsiCo
as our sole beverage
provider.
"Just the minor
improvements

Recent protests online by

The two major acts in the

the U.S. Senate's Preventing

All over the campus, the
beverage departments have
received makeovers. The
vending machines have a
new look and are more technologically advanced in that
they now accept debit and
credit cards.
"The vending machines
are .more modern, and I really like the Pepsi products
better," freshman Koresh
Dashtizadeh said.
The beverage switch to
PepsiCo is cheaper in the
stores, but costs an extra 25
cents in the vending machines.
The ne\# soda change
features Pepsi, Dr. Pepper,
Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist,
Crush, Aquafina, SoBe,
Lipton, Gatorade, AMP and
Rockstar. They can be found

One in 500 American college students is infected with
the HIV virus. For a campus the size of Cal State San
Marcos, that means about 20
students are carrying the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which without treatment
causes AIDS, according to
American College Health
Association.
Although the transmission
of HIV has slowed since
it was epidemic in the late
1980s and early 1990s, it
still remains a potent force
on college campuses. According to a report from the
Centers for Disease Control
in Atlanta, young people
ages 13 to 29 accounted for
39 percent of all new HIV
infections in 2009. The highest rate of infection occurs in
people ages 20 to 24, with
a disproportionate infection
rate among gay and bisexual men and young blacks.
AIDS suppresses the body's
immune system, making it
susceptible to secondary infections.
To spread the word about
the dangers of HIV, the university's Student Health &
Counseling Services (SHCS)
department will have free
HIV testing from 1 : 1 5 - 4

"I'd rather drink Rockstar
than Monster; and I like Pepsi much better," freshman
Michael Dalupan said.
There is a conflict of preference among the students
with regards to the beverage
product change. Some students agree and are happy
about the new change, but
others liked the old, Coca
Cola products better.

p.m. on Feb. 7. The event
is geared toward enrolled
students and will include an
information fair. HTV testing will be held at the center,
which is located just east of
campus at 120 Craven Road,
Suite 100.
Through a partnership with
North County Health Services, students can receive free
HIV testing with Ora-Quick
Rapid, a test that requires
just one drop of blood and
produces a result in 20 minutes.
The testing is anonymous,
meaning that the results of
the HIV test will not be entered intQ the student's medical record. The student will
be given a code, and only
the student and the counselor will know the result of
the test. As a result, the test
results cannot be linked to
the student. Center staff can
provide pre-test and post-test
counseling, as well as referrals to trained counselors.
Free testing services will
be offered on the first Tuesdays of each month from
1:15 to 4 p.m. Upcoming
dates are March 6, April 3
and May 1. No appointments
are required. Service is first
come, first served.
The center can be reached
at 760-750-4915.

student Ramon Villhgoz said.
This alignment of enterprises has turned out to be
successful so far, and now
UARSC is set to start the
same process for all the food
vending machines on campus.

concerns regarding the beverage switch, call 760-7504700, or visit their website

"Online piracy by foreign

Although the California
Dream Act got the most attention when it passed into
law on Jan. 1, there were
more than 750 other bills that
also became law in California this year, and many could
affect students at Cal State
San Marcos.
AB 130, better known as
the Dream Act, has been a hot
topic on campus since Governor Jerry Brown signed it
into law last year. It allows
illegal aliens who've attended California public schools
for at least three years and
graduated from a California high school to apply for
state-funded financial aid at
UC and CSU campuses as
well as community colleges.
Tim Torlakson, the State
Superintendent of Public
Instruction, said the Dream
Act will help many young
Californians afford a college
education that was previously out of reach.
"Our goal for the new year
and every year is to make
education accessible and effective for all children," Torlakson said in a statement.
"These new laws will help
ensure children are safer, enter kindergarten at the appropriate age, learn what they
need to know to succeed in
life and careers, and fulfill
the dream of a college education."
Cal State San Marcos
spokeswoman Margaret Lutz
said some other new laws
that also may affect students
here are AB 194, which offers priority enrollment to
any former foster at any
CSU, UC or community college campuses through 2017,
and SB813, which grants
priority enrollment to former members of the military
(within four years of leaving
active-duty service).
Other new laws on the
California books this year
include:
•A ban on the sale of caffeinated beer
•A requirement that schools
intervene in cases of bullying
of gay students
•A restriction on the sale
of cough syrup containing
destromethorphan (found in
Dimetapp, NyQuil and other
over-the-counter products)
•A ban on the sale of shark
fins (used as a delicacy in
soups by the Chinese)
•Governments or other agencies cannot gather information on people's online reading habits without a court
order
•Mandatory instruction in
the public schools on the
contributions of gay people
•A ban on allowing employers to check applicants' credit reports
•Student athletes who sustain
a possible concussion cannot
play until receiving a doctor's clearance,
•A ban on the use of tanning
beds by anyone under the
age of 18
•A requirement that children
under the age of 8 must be
restrained in a booster seat
while riding in the car
•A ban on therightof citizens
to openly carry handguns
•A requirement that apartment buildings begin recycling programs
•Police can no longer impound a vehicle at a sobriety checkpoint if the driver's

After what has been a season to remember, the 2011
NFL season will culminate
in Indianapolis with Super
Bowl XLVI. With the season
full of prolific passers leading their teams to victory

KYLE M JOHNSON
STAFF W R I T E R
Starbucks will be adding
beer and wine to the menu at
several locations in Atlanta,
Chicago and Southern California.
After much customer
feedback requesting a relaxing evening atmosphere in
their stores, Starbucks has
responded by offering this
transition which is said to
occur by the end of the year.
Starbucks intends for these
expansions to take place at
five to seven stores in Chicago and four to six stores
each in Atlanta and Southern
California.
In October 2010, a location
on Olive Way in Seattle, WA
began successfully experimenting with this "evening
day-part" concept of serving
beer and wine, as well as pre-
mium foods. Currently there
are five stores in the Seattle
area and one store in Portland, OR which have adapted
to this expanded menu.
On the Starbucks News
page, spokesman Zack Hutson wrote, "The wine and
beer list will be hand-selected to reflect local customer
tastes and preferences." He
went on to share that stores
will also incorporate flexible
seating to accommodate individuals, small groups and
larger parties.
"At select stores where it
is relevant for the neighborhood, we are focused on creating an atmosphere where
our customers can relax with
a friend, a small bite to eat
and a cup of coffee or glass
of wine," senior vice president of U.S. Operations,
ClariceuTurner said.
Construction is currently
underway at Palomar College as a new planetarium is
being built to replace the former planetarium, which was
demolished in 2008.
The presence of the new
building, which will be located in a different area of
the school than the previous
one, will lead to an expansion of the Palomar campus.
According to the webpage
for the new Palomar College Planetarium, funds received from the passing of
Proposition M in 2006 have
allowed this development
to take place. The webpage
art, open to the college and
the general public.
The webpage also features a New Planetarium
Construction Blog, which
features descriptions, photographs and videos depicting the construction taking
place. In the blog posts, it is
revealed that the planetarium
will possess such features as
a 50-foot dome, 142 seats
and a Digistar 4 projection
system with surround sound
and LED lights.
According to "The Starry
Messenger," Palomar's official planetarium newsletter, the new planetarium will
offer shows to the public
regularly, guided tours of the
current night sky and topical
shows about popular subjects
of astronomy.
The most recent developments to take place at the
construction site have been
associated with landscaping,
carpet installation, fire-lifesafety work and audiovisual
technology.
The grand opening of the
planetarium is scheduled for
early March 2012.

Cal State San Marcos music Professor
Ching-Ming Cheng will host and perform
in a solo piano concert on Jan. 31.
Following her arrival to the university
in fall 2011, this will mark the debut performance of Cheng on campus. The concert will be a musical journeyfromthe
classical era to modern romanticism, featuring compositions from Haydn, Chopin, Ravel and Busoni.
Although she started piano lessons at
the age offive,it was around the second
or third grade when a teacher suggested
that Cheng audition for a musical program that offered formal training at no
charge to those selected. It was at her
teacher's suggestion that Cheng felt a
sense of maturity in her training .
Cheng has since grown into an experienced performer with such credentials as
having been part of the New World Symphony as a keyboardist and in the Taipei
Century Symphony and National Symphony Orchestra playing the double bass.
Prior to joining the faculty at CSUSM,
Cheng taught in the music department at
Humboldt State University. Even though
she felt it was a great program with devoted students, Cheng decided to take an
open position as an assistant professor in
CSUSM's music department.
She has high aspirations for the music
department including the recruitment of
piano major students and composition
students. "I hope we can build a thorough
and complete department," Cheng said.
The free piano recital will take place
Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in Arts Building, room
111.

Tales f ro m t h e n er d side
"Star Wars: The Old Republic"- The forc e is s tron g w it h t hi s o n e
CHRIS
GIANCAMILH
STAFF
WRITER
On Dec. 20, the gaming
world saw the release of
"Star Wars: The Old Republic" and since then it has
quickly become one of the
biggest massive multiplayer
online (MMO) games of all
time. With a heavy emphasis on story, Bio ware's latest
venture is keeping gamers,
such as myself, thoroughly
engaged in the Star Wars
universe.
"The Old Republic" takes
place several thousands of
years before the events of the
films during a time of galactic
unrest. The game is a sequel
to Bioware's single-player
role playing games (RPG)
"Star Wars: Knights of the
Old Republic" and "Knights
of the Old Republic H." In
"The Old Republic," the Sith
Empire has reclaimed their
home world of Korriban and
the Galactic Republic was
forced to retreat to the planet
Tython. Players join either
the Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic.
Within the Sith Empire,
players are given the choice
of four main classes: Sith
Warrior, Sith Inquisitor,
Bounty Hunter, or Imperial Agent. Those who join
the Galactic Republic can
choose to be a Jedi Knight,
Jedi Consular, Smuggler, or
Trooper. Players can customize their characters appearance and choose from a
number of races familiar to
Star Wars fans.
Though the game plays
much like other MMOs,
"The Old Republic" differs
by giving players dialogue
options during cutscenes
which can alter the outcome
and rewards of missions.
Some scenes also have lightside and darkside choices.
Gaining lightside or darkside points can open up more
weapon and armor options.
Throughout their storyline,
players will meet Non-Player
Character (NPC) companions who will aid them in
combat. Each NPC companion is unique to the player's
class. Companions each have
their own special roles. For
example, some are attack
oriented, others have high
defense, and some heal the
player. Players are limited to
one companion's assistance
at a time.
Space combat is another
unique feature to the game.
Players are given their own
spaceship to travel to other
planets and upgrade to engage in space combat missions. The space combat
missions take pltfce in a set
path, but players can somewhat maneuver their ship to
dodge obstacles. Ship upgrades work much like item
upgrades to characters themselves. Some upgrades boost
attack power or defensive
power.
However, most of the
game takes place on foot.
"The Old Republic"
has players hoofing their way
through Sith
temples,
ing grounds, and mercenary
infested lairs. Currently,
players can explore
over 15 planets
each with several
hours of gameplay to complete.
With strong support from
its developer through weekly
patches and update content,
"Star Wars: The Old Republic" is keeping players
returning for more. The
added depth to the
Star
Wars
mythos is
quickly revitalizin g
interest
in
the galaxy far
far away.

and it's important to remember that as a student, you are

the initial pressure to get reorganized at university dies

Part of the excitement in
starting a new year not only
consists of "beginning it
right" or keeping your new
year resolutions, but for artists of all traits in the music,
television and film industry
to be recognized with the
highest honors their industries could present to them.
Michelle Williams's role
in "My Week With Marilyn" (who has already won a
Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a
Motion Picture - Comedy Or
Musical) was one of many
performances nominated for
a Screen Actors Guild Award
as well as an Oscar for Actress in a Leading Role.
Popular television shows
like "Modern Family," "The
Office," "Glee" and new
shows like "American Horror Story" were also awarded
nominations for Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Musical artists like Mumford & Sons, Nicki Minaj
and Adele have made their
mark on the nominations for
The Grammy's list, one of
the most prestigious awards
in the music industry.
If you are curious whether
Kanye West will take home
the most Grammy's or if
Adele's power over love will
win her all of her six nominations, you can tune into
The 54th Grammy Awards
on Feb. 12,2012 at 8/7c only
on CBS.
For the film industry's most
exciting night, tune into The
84th Academy Awards live
on Feb. 26, 2012 at 7e/4p
