CFA T O H OST A DAY OF CLASS A CTION

P R I D E S TAFF W R I T E R
The California Faculty Association will host "A Day of
Class Action" at all 23 Cal State
campuses on Wednesday, April
13 as part of a national campaign in support of higher education and university employees.
CSUSM rally participants will
gather at noon in Cesar Chavez
Plaza, then walk to the Rotunda
in Craven Hall for refreshments,
live jazz and speakers from 12:15
- 1:30 p.m. An open mic session
will follow from 1:30 - 2 p.m.,
giving students, staff and faculty opportunities to voice their
concerns about major changes
to higher education, both nationally and locally. "Without clear,
vocal and very public statements
against the changes that are being proposed and/or have already
been enacted, higher education as
we currently know it will be seriously damaged," CFA Chapter
President and CSUSM Sociology
professor Donald Barrett said.
Concerns regarding funding and
the rights of employees and students are key issues surrounding
the event. These concerns include
budget cuts and resulting tuition
increases adversely affecting affordable higher education, threats
to faculty decision-making power
regarding class content, size and
delivery, elimination of major
courses, majors and minors and
the idea of students being viewed
in terms of cost/benefit ratios.

With less than two hours to
spare, Congressional heads and
President Barack Obama avoided
a government shutdown by creating a temporary budget deal,
which cuts $38 billion from federal spending, on Friday, April 8.
The dramatic negotiation process
concerned many citizens who
feared total government shutdown as funding would have
stopped at midnight last Friday
if lawmakers failed to reach an
agreement. After meeting into
late hours Friday night, lawmakers and White House negotiators
agreed on an arrangement to fund
government operations until the
end of September while still trimming billions from its previous
budget. President Obama, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid
and House Speaker John Boehner negotiated the agreement. As
first reported by the Associated
Press, President Obama signed
the measure Saturday, April 9,
but it still requires Congressional
approval, which is set to happen
during this week. According to
the Associated Press, initially,
"the administration was poised
to shutter federal services, from
national parks to tax-season help
centers and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands
of federal workers," which aids
to explain the long negotiations
that lasted to the last hours of the
deadline. The agreement tested
the strength of America's divided
government as Republicans and
Democrats searched for common
ground under a time constraint.
As first reported by the New York
Times, Boehner described the
negotiation process as "a lot of
discussion and a long fight." In
SEE, BUDGET, P.2

EDITORIAL
STAFF
his address to the nation, President Obama remarked that the
deal is "a budget that invests in
our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our
history." He continued to emphasize the importance of Americans
"living within [their] means" as
an investment in future job markets. Republican initiatives to
reduce funding to Planned Parenthood and ease environmental
regulations caused much of the
censure in negotiating. While
these initiatives proved unsuccessful in the negotiation, many
citizens were concerned for the
fate of these federal programs.
One in five women have made a
visit to Planned Parenthood. With

CSUSM being approximately 61
percent female, the community
could easily have felt these effects.
CSUSM's Student Health
and Counseling Services, though
not directly tied to Planned Parenthood, offers similar services
and is funded through the state
and student fees. Because of its
alternate sources of funding,
Student Health and Counseling Services would still provide
reproductive health and education services should Planned
Parenthood cease to exist.

CALIFORNIA DROUGHT DECLARED OVER
GOVERNOR BROWN REPEALS FORMER WATER WORRIES
MORGAN HALL
LAYOUT ASSISTANT
On Wednesday, March 30,
Governor Jerry Brown announced an end to California's
three-year long drought after
one of the wettest winters since
1970, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
The stormy winter brought more
than 60 feet of snow in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains with more
snow expected to fall at the end
of this month. State officials report that the snowpack found in
the mountains is at 165 percent
of normal for this time of year.
When the snow melts, it should
supply farmers and residents all
across California with water during the summer in local lakes and
reservoirs. Governor Brown's
announcement repeals former
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2008 Declaration of a State
of Emergency because of three
years of extremely low water
levels. Schwarzenegger advocated conservation until water
levels rise and some cities imposed conservation measures on
its citizens. In 2009, the San
Diego region including here in
San Marcos, deemed to be at a
"level one" drought emergency,
which called for all citizens to
voluntarily conserve and reduce
water by 10 percent. Conservation measures set in place included, but were not limited to,
washing down paved surfaces,
repairing any inefficient landscape irrigation that leaks, wash-
ing vehicles with a bucket of
water and only watering residential and commercial landscapes
before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
Cal State San Marcos did
its part in water conservation
by planting drought resistant
plants around campus that require less water. The news of
the drought being over left some
residents relived since they can
now water their lawns as much
as they like, wash their cars everyday and even enjoy a glass
of water without feeling guilty.
Governor Brown still asks the
California public to continue to
conserve water. "While this season's storms have lifted us out
of the drought, it's critical that
Californians continue to watch
their water use," said Brown
in his drought announcement.
Although Brown feels that the
drought is over for now, farmers
and water officials worry about
the future weather conditions.
Water agency officials suggest
that "The dry summer weather
could bring a return to drought
conditions." The high amounts of
snow and rain have left the California reservoirs at extremely
high levels, but many water districts are having a hard time storing the surplus of water. Most of
the older reservoirs in California,
including the ones that facilitate
water to San Diego, are not Temperance Flat Dam, which do not
have the ability to store water.

DONE?
CSUSM CELEBRATES FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVE A CTIVITIES
JENNA JAUREGUI
FEATURES E D I T O R
They lecture you on psychology theories. They test your
knowledge of differential equations. They show you how to analyze poetry. They assign you pages of reading assignments. They
make you write lengthy papers.
Your professors are the captains of their college classrooms,
yet how many students truly
know their professors beyond
the credential abbreviations that
accompany their names? You
may see them throughout the
week, but few students take the
time to discuss anything besides
class material with their professors. If asked to list a few of
their professor's professional accomplishments, many students
will offer a blank stare. Most are
unaware that published works by
their very own professors line
the shelves in Kellogg Library.
Before and during their car-
ers as college employees, many
CSUSM professors proved their
scholarship in the professional
or creative world. Scholafly articles, research studies, scientific
experiments, and entire books
are the "feathers in their caps,"
bolstering their resumes and
qualifying them to educate future
scholars in their chosen fields.
Gerardo Gonzalez, Ph.D, saw
the gap between faculty accomplishments and student awareness of these merits. As the
Dean of Graduate Studies and
the Associate Vice President for
Research at CSUSM, he spearheaded the Celebration of Faculty
Scholarship and Creative Activities, an annual event that allows
students, faculty, and the community to share in CSUSM faculty research, writing, and other
achievements. Professors have
the opportunity to present their
projects in an informal group setting—each faculty member sets
up a display and discusses their
work with interested passersby.
On April 1, the second annual celebration event took place
in the Clarke Field House Sulpizio Family Grand Salon from
11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Over 30 faculty
members shared their accomplishments. Given the chance to
chat about subjects they are passionate about, the familiar professors beamed with fresh energy.
They eagerly conversed with the
students and other community
members who visited the event,
sharing their professional expertise with interested attendees.
Dr. Natalie Wilson, who teaches in the Literature and Writing
and Women's Studies departments
at CSUSM, recently published a
book titled "Seduced by Twilight:
The Allure and Contradictory
Messages of the Popular Saga."
She presented this book during
the event, and offered some comments regarding her experience:
Were
people
interested in your presentation of
"Seduced
by
Twilight?"
"Yes, many people expressed
genuine interest. At 'Twilight' fan
events interest is understandable,
but at an academic research event
such as this, I was happy to talk
to people from all across campus and the community - Deans,
faculty, students, and community
members - about how the saga
reveals a great deal about the
contemporary cultural moment."
What was your favorite thing about sharing your
work with staff and students?
"I particularly enjoy speaking
to people outside the 'target fan
base' regarding what they make
of the phenomenal success of
'Twilight.' One man compared it
to Beatlemania, and a fellow professor lamented that Bella Swan
is nothing like her favorite female
heroine, Nancy Drew. I also enjoy getting those who feel the
series is 'just entertainment' to
take a deeper look and consider
what messages this undeniable
cultural Zeitgeist is sending us
about love, romance, gender, and
sexuality as well as about two
areas people rarely consider race
(via the representation of Native
Americans as werewolves) and
religion (the author is Mormon)."
The event was a unique
chance to see CSUSM professors
"in their element," discussing topics they enjoy and sharing their
knowledge with others. Wilson
declared the celebration a success,
saying the room was "buzzing
with conversation." Organizers
expect a third annual event next
year, hoping to expand to a larger
location and schedule it on a day
when more students can attend.
If you missed this f un opportunity, try talking to your
professors about their work during their office hours. Many
would love to share their interests with eager students, and you
may learn something more than
the lessons they teach in class.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
April 2011 is proving to be a
hybrid of sun and snow. Boots,
raincoats and hats have resurfaced before they had a chance to
dry out from the last rains of winter. A chilly start to spring means
some are still stuffing tissues in
their pockets. College students
are feeling the stress of the postmidterms crunch, leaving many
with weakened immune systems
thai are susceptible to any nearby sneeze. If the common cold
is what ails you, here are a few
remedies most everyone has at
home to help combat the sniffles
and leave you ready to take on
the semester's remaining weeks.
/iff
CVAin
Have some OJ with your
breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange
juice not is one of the most vitamin C rich foods in existence.
According to biologist Thomas
Peel, vitamin C is not only effective in fighting colds, but it helps
in the growth and rebuilding of
bone and muscle. Stay away from
chalky vitamin C wafers, as the
U.S. Food and Nutrition board
recommends nutrient intake primarily through foods rather than
multivitamins, since the latter are
synthetic and less easily absorbed.
Go lay out. Here in San Diego,
tanning in April is certainly not
out of the question. Getting some
sun helps your body produce vitamin D, and it can affect your
mood in a positive way. Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD, appropriately) is typified by depressed
moods during fall and winter,
mostly because of a vitamin D
deficiency, so start making up
for that lost sunlight ASAP. According to Mayo Clinic, vitamin
D is great for the body and mind.
Soup for the soul. The old
mantra as a standby for cold
treatment is more valid than you
might think. Soup has much
more water in it than other foods,
aiding in hydration when your
body is trying to fight off a cold
virus. Parsley and carrots, traditional chicken soup ingredients, are both rich in vitamin A.
Vitamin A helps keep eyes, skin
and mucous membranes moist,
in case that dry cough is getting
tough to handle (lifeclinic.com).
Read: chocolate and peanut
butter. This does not mean a Reese's binge is acceptable here,
SEVEN COLD REMEDIES FOR
SPRING SNIFFLES
but both foods are high in zinc,
which has the potential to shorten
the duration of a cold. Chocolate
candy with high concentrations
of cacao is preferred, according
to the USDA National Nutrient
Database. Organic peanut butter
made from oil-roasted peanuts
and minimal sweeteners is your
best bet; only 100 grams of peanuts or peanut butter provides
nearly half of the RDA of zinc.
Calm down with chamomile.
Sometimes colds cause an inflammatory response on the outside of your body, including the
eyes. Calm redness in your eyes
with the super anti-inflammatory
food, chamomile. Make a weak
tea, let it cool until it is barely
warmer than your skin, and rinse
your face with it. According to
the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration (FDA), chamomile
causes allergic reactions in some
individuals, so test the solution
on the inside of your wrist first.
Take a dip in the spa. Ashish Kalekar of inhouseremedy.
com said, "Nothing chases away
a bad case of congestion better
than some good ol' steam treatment." If you are lucky enough
to have access to a hot tub, this
is when to take advantage of it.
If not, take a bath or shower and
breathe deep. Modify this suggestion if you have fever with
steam concentrated on just your
face instead of your whole body.
Sleep it o f f . After a relaxing bit
of heat, change into some comfy
clothes and pass out. Psychology
Today explained that sleep is one
of the most important mechanisms
your body employs for healing.

STOP VIOLENCE IN ITS TRACKS
W OMEN'S CENTER TO HOLD ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT EVENT
Domestic violence and sexual assault plague women every
day. On Thursday, April 14, the
CSUSM Women's Center will
hold its fifth annual Take Back
the Night event—an energized
occasion with a mission to "break
the silence that surrounds the issues of domestic violence and
sexual assault, and to demand
an end to gender violence," ac-
which is incredibly empowering."
"Four women die in the U.S.
each day from domestic violence—brutally murdered by the men who
claim to love them,"
Heidi Breuer, Ph.D.,
Assistant
Professor of Literature and
Writing Studies, said.
This alarming statistic means domestic
violence takes the
lives about 1,460 women each
year. Statistics on sexual assault against women also show
taught from a very young age to ing dance and spoken word. They
be fearful of the night. We are told are a powerful and inspirational

stories in a safe, affirming environment. "This is probably the
most powerful, healing aspect of
the whole event," Burgess-Carland said. "Speaking out about
your experience of abuse is truly
transformative. I have talked to
women at CSUSM who told me
that Take Back the Night was the
first time they ever talked about
what happened to them. To me,
this is the whole reason we have
the event. When people speak out
they can begin to heal, and start
moving from victim to survivor."
cording to Women's Center Director Lea Burgess-Carland.
The event, which will begin
at 5 p.m. in the Library Plaza,
is a place where people of all
ages and genders can gather to
find support and raise awareness. Specific information about
Take Back the Night is available at csusm.edu/wc/events.
Our campus is not the first to
host this event. Take Back the
Night is an international event
that has been around for 35 years
in hopes of bringing an end to
sexual assault and abuse. Burgess-Carland stated, " Often, victims of these crimes remain silent
out of fear, shame or feelings of
guilt. Fewer than five percent of
sexual assaults are reported to
the police, and many survivors
will never speak out about the
abuse they have suffered. This
can lead to feelings of isolation
and powerlessness. Take. Back
the Night provides an opportunity for people to speak out and
demand an end to these crimes,
a significant amount of problems
women face in their daily lives.
"Events like Take Back the
Night are necessary
because, while 54
percent of women say
they have been sexually assaulted, only
25 percent of men say
they have engaged
in sexual aggression
or forced sex," Prof.
Breuer
continued.
Burgess-Carland revealed, "Women aged
1 6 - 2 4 experience the
highest rates of sexual
assault and intimate
partner abuse. 1 in 5
women will be a sexually assaulted while she is in college!...] these ^ people in your
classes, people you work with and
people in your student organizations. It is a reality at CSUSM,
and we must demand an end."
Take Back the Night events
hope to reclaim safety and peace
of mind. "As women, we are
someone we know, the threat
of the 'stranger jumping out at
u s' at night is enough to keep us
Take Back The Night will
conclude with a march down
Twin Oaks Valley Road with hundreds of participants making a
physical statement that they will
no longer tolerate sexual abuse
and violence towards women.
"Take Back the Night is an
event for the entire community,
not just for women," BurgessCarland stated. "Although of
course we want to encourage all
women to attend, we hope that
men will come to support as well.
Men need to get involved in ending violence against women.
Without men working by our
side, it will never end. We also
acknowledge that many men
have also been victims of sexual
assault or domestic violence.
They are welcome and encouraged to come and speak out in
the circle and get help and resources as well. The Women's
Center, and Take Back the Night,
is here for all CSUSM students."

CSUSM track & field is
rounding the final corner of
the season before Nationals, competing at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational on
Saturday. With that event
in the book, Coach Steve
Scott's athletes have four
more chances to punch their
ticket to the NAIA National
Championships by meeting the qualifying marks.
The Cougars had plenty
of highlights on Saturday, as
well as plenty of close calls.
Suzanne Cornwell met
the "B" qualifying standard
in the 1,500-meter run with
her time of 4:41.63, good
for 11th place at the event.
Michelle Cruz finished
10th in the 800-meter run
at 2:17.15, just about a second off the "B" standard.
On the men's side, Daniel
Lyon easily met the "A" standard in the 5,000-meter run,
and, while doing so, recorded
the team's best finish of the
day. Lyon ran 14:36.95, over
eight seconds ahead of the
" A" standard, to place second.
Four-time Ail-American
Brett Campfield posted another impressive finish, taking third in the 1 ^00-meter dash.
His time of
3:51.97 is well ahead of
the event's "A" standard.
Coach Scott's track &
field team will next compete at the Mt. Sac Invitational, starting this Thursday.

§weep on the day and series sweep
Mr the season, #4-ranked Cal
State San Marcos looked sharp
at home against Biola University
on Friday, winning 5-0 and 8-0.
The
#4-ranked
Cougars
improved to 33-6 on the season? Biola dropped to 23-19.
Pitcher B rennatj Sandberg
was lights-out in both games,
throwing all 13 innings on the
day and holding Biotk scoreless. The wins improve Sand-
berg's NAIA-best record to 295. She allowed just three hits ml
both games, striking out nine in
the first and six in the second.
Sandberg had plenty of support, both at the plate and in the
field. Biola's best scoring chance
in game one came in the third inning, as the Eagi$s moved two
runners j nto scoring position with
one out. But a mediuin-shallow
i ly ball was caught by left fielder
Alicia Ingram, and she gunned out
the runner at home with a perfect
throw to keep the shutout intact.
At the plate in game one,
CSUSM jumped out to a 2-0 lead
in the first and never looked back.
Derrisha Lacey led off by driving
a triple to the left-centerfieldgap,
and after Alicia Ingram walked
and stole second, Alex Miller
drew a walk to load the bases.
Shanti Poston plated Lacey with
a sac fly, and Ingram would come
home to score on a wild pitch.
With the score 3-0 in the
fifth, the Cougars would put
it otit of reach,i C urtesy of an
RBI single f romfKimi Villalpando and a fielder's choice
by Theresa Houle where pinch
runner Brittney Guy beat the
throw home on a ground ball.
Game two Would stay scoreless for a couple innings, but
the Cougar offense strung a few
crooked numbers together in the
middle innings to end it after six.
First baseman Alyssa Dronenburg got things goiftg in the
third, just crushing a no-dteifctabout-it two-run home run over
the fence in left. CSUSM would
plate two the following frame as
well, with Heavin-Lee Rodriguez
driving in a ifun with a base hit
and scoring on a Lacey single.
The Cougars came close to
ending it in the fifth, scoring
three times to make it 7-0. Theresa Houle drilled her second
double of the day, plating Miller
and Dronenburg, and Jalisa Mc-|
CaJfel would add a deep sacrifice fly later in the inning,
CSUSM wasted little time
closing things out in the Seventh. Kaitlin McGinley led off
by beating out an infield single,
stealing second and coming
home on a Miller triple to right.

Chapman did the bulk of its
damage in the third inning, where
with two outs second baseman
Tyler Hadzinsky knocked a bases-clearing three-run double off
Cougar starter Adam Bileckyj,
who otherwise was very solid.
Bileckyj
uncharacteristically
walked four batters, but struck out
four as well and allowed just four
hits in his six innings of work.
The Cougar offense broke
through in the fifth, with Victor
Serna and Kyle Secciani drawing
walks, Johnny Omahen sacrificing them over, and Serna scoring
on a passed ball to cut it to 3-1.
Chapman would pick up
what turned out to be a crucial
insurance run in the bottom of
the frame, as CSUSM continued to chip away at the lead. A
Mike Mecucci sac fly cut it to
4-2 in the sixth, and Trent Jemmett's RBI single made it 4-3 in
the seventh, but with the bases
loaded and one out the Cougars
would fail to plate any more runs.
With reliever Kyle Smart
working two perfect innings on the
mound, CSUSM had its chance to
complete the comeback, loading
the bases again in the ninth. But
Chapman reliever Kyle Tachibana induced a fly-out to strand
the tying run at third, sending
the Cougars home disappointed.

FEATURES E D I T O R
Art communities may be the
first targets for budget cuts, but
they are also the first to help others in need. April 21 - 27, the
Art Association at CSUSM is
holding an art auction to benefit
relief efforts in Japan. All of the
proceeds go towards the victims
affected by the earthquakes and
tsunami floods that devastated
the country on March 11.
Strong aftershocks from the
initial earthquake continue to
shake Japan, reaching up to
magnitude 7.1 and causing more
deaths and destruction. The horrific images and heart-breaking
stories plastered in newspapers across America have many
people wondering what they
can do to help. One way that
CSUSM students can contribute
to the relief effort is to donate
art and attend the art auction.
Students can drop off their art
submissions on April 18, 19 and
20 during U-hour in Arts 111.
All mediums are accepted. Email
your name, title of your art piece
and medium to Morgan Hefley
at hefle003@cougars.csusm.edu.
Bidding begins April 21 and ends
on the 27. Hefley was able to answer some questions regarding
the art auction; additional information is available at csusm.edu/
n ews/articles/ArtsAuction.
The Pride: What inspired
this idea? How did the
idea of a benefit art
auction come to be?
Morgan Hefley: The
benefit art auction idea
started with the willingness of Arts Association, artists last
spring, when we
all decided to do
a similar event,
The Hope for
Haiti Art Auction, to help
aid
Haiti.
The auction was
s uccessful and
w -e
be best directed towards
aiding Japan.
T P:
were
a ble
to
send
over $200 via
the Red Cross to Haiti
in their time of need. At the
beginning of this semester we decided to do a second philanthropy
gallery and began looking for a
cause to which we could donate.
We started working towards one
particular cause, but the dual natural disaster in Japan essentially
fell into our laps. No one had any
idea that this would occur, and
it seemed that our event would
does the
hope to raise?
MH: We would like raise as
much money as possible. If I
might make so bold as to throw
a number out, I would love to see
us raise at least $400 dollars. But
it largely depends on the nymber
of art submissions in the gallery,
how much the artist will place for
the opening bid and of course,
those bidding on the art. The
last Art Auction resulted in just
over $200; I would love for
that to be essentially
doubled.
TP: Do
art
submissions for the
auction need to
be of a particular skill level?
MH: The Art
Association
accepts and encourages
all CSUSM students,
whether members of
Arts Association or not,
to exhibit their work in the
galleries. All of our exhibits are the result of the hard
work, ingenuity and creativity
of CSUSM students. In any of
our galleries, not just the benefit
auction, we only ask that students
take pride in their work and others
work by submitting their best.
T P: Where will the money go?
In what form will it be donated?
MH: All of the proceeds, like
the last Art Auction, will be donated to Japan through the Red
Cross. I do want to be specific
that all the proceeds will be going to Japan, not a percentage.
TP: If this event is a success,
will there be other possible auctions for different charities?
MH: I think it is safe to say
that if these benefit art auctions
continue to be a success, that the
students of CSUSM will see more
of this caliber of events. However, it depends largely on the
members of the Art Association
as well as the executive officers,
who decide whether they want to
pursue these events or not. Several of us are graduating, and new
executive members will be taking
the helm next semester. We hope
to hold elections by the end of
this semester, and any CSUSM
students who wish to become
an integral part of this awesome
art community and help plan
such events as the Art Auction
for Japan are welcome to run.
TP: Do you have any words
of encouragement for artistic students who may be hesitant to submit their work?
MH: Again, I would like emphasize that the Art Association
welcomes and encourages all
CSUSM students, whether members of the Art Association or not,
to submit their work,. This is the
students' Art Association. It belongs to all of us, and we want
to see your projects and magnum
opuses receive all the attention
they deserve. We provide the opportunity for the entire CSUSM
student body, as well as faculty
and visiting community to view
it. So far, for this Art Auction,
we have a tentative schedule of
submissions of photography,
paintings and jewelry design.
We hope to see more as we get
closer to the exhibit installation,
which is on April 18, 19 and 20
from noon - 1 p.m. in the Arts
lobby outside of Arts 111.

tertaining and talented young
performers. Participating artists
represented many musical genres
including rap, screamo and a
little plain rock. The bands were
judged by a pre-selected panel
that looked at categories like
crowd response, stage presence
and overall likability and appeal.
While most of the bands seemed
to simply be participating in order
to help their fellow students out,
the main prize for the winning
band was a chance to perform during Welcome Week on campus:
a paid gig. Needless to say, all
the bands brought their A game,
and there was no lack of energy
or enthusiasm the entire night.
It's refreshing to know that,
despite everything that is going
on in our busy lives as students,
some of us still take the time to
help out our fellow classmates.
Carrie Kresser, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, summed the

�THE DIGITAL DELUGE
ARTS & LECTURES PRESENTS W ORK BY M AUREEN DRDAK
RYAN
DOWNS
P R I D E STAFF W R I T E R
We may see images everywhere, but when was the last
time we truly understood a piece
of legitimate art? Accomplished
painter Maureen Drdak intends
to answer the question with her
lecture on twenty-first century
global art. At 7 p.m. tonight,
CSUSM's Arts & Lectures series
premieres the "Insanity, Creativity, and Communication: the
Digital Deluge and its Challenges
for the 21st Century Global Artist," for f ree, in Clark 113. The
event is a great opportunity for
aspiring painters and art enthusiasts to learn more about the nature of contemplative art and its
lacking presence in modern society. Most importantly though,
guests will learn cases of how
the creative processes and relevance of the modern artist may
be threatened by the overwhelming affect of digital imagery.
Drdak plans to showcase her
many works and explain the significance of historical contemplative practices and their relevance
to the modern artist. Her works,
like most traditional paintings,
require meditation in order for a
viewer to enjoy and are a stark
contrast to the digital imagery
that seems to constantly overwhelm modern senses. "She's
looking at historic practices,
contemplative practice, which
involves [sic] creating artwork
with a very deep focus that leads
to a greater understanding of the
work," said Professor Tony Allard, who proposed the lecture
after meeting Drdak in Reno.
"What Maureen [Drdak] is emphasizing," Prof. Allard continued, "is the contemplative practice
of paintings in which you experience the work on a much more
fundamental level, and you experience the content of that work
in a more comprehensive way."
Drdak emphasizes the necessity for contemplation in art,
stressing the point of what the
purpose of art is. She does not
only present a pretty image to
look at, but she uses imagery to
convey an emotion, even when
the typical American is not always interested in deep contemplative thought. Through understanding meditative paintings, the
viewer in turn comes to a deeper
understanding of a greater work
of art: global human culture.
Drdak plans to speak about
the necessity of archetypes in
art and their relevance to global
cultures, which, until recently
in human history, would have
never mingled, yet all share similar attitudes and stories spoken
through their art. Through the
study of all the aforementioned
archetypes, we can achieve a
better understanding of the similarities we all share. To better
understand art, is to better understand what it means to be human.

What if two common parts of
a college student's life, studying and cell phone use, were
combined? The Study Droid
application indeed combined
the two, compatible for popular Android smart phones. The
Study Droid app enables users
to create note cards or flashcards
for any topic imaginable. Users may edit virtual cards, and
pictures from your phone can
also be placed on the cards. You
create each note card individually, with both the back and front
available for text and pictures.
Consumers download this
application for free at either
www.studydroid.com
or directly from the market on the
phone itself. The website offers tutorials and explanations
on how to create the note cards
and allows downloads and syncing of note cards from the site.
The app allows fellow Android
owners to share flashcards by giving out the name or URL of the
flashcard pack. There is also the
option to download, or "clone,"
and personally edit previously
created packs. Although app
purchasers can share and clone
flashcard packs, some users use
security settings so they may only
view and edit their own packs.
When studying for midterms,
finals or quizzes, this application is useful for the busy college student on the go. A quick
and easy download and creation
of the note cards resolves the
problems of illegible handwriting, a messy stack of cards and
the purchasing of physical, paper note cards. The old school
way of studying flashcards may
still appeal to some students, but
the Study Droid correlates with
the convenience of technology.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The world is much different
than it was just 30 years ago.
Technology makes communication possible when there's literally a planet between two people.
It's true, though, that the notion of texting a best friend or
loved one is much less romanticized than a kindly crafted letter
sent through snail mail. Phone
calls, while becoming increasingly less-expensive methods
of cross-country communication, still lack that truly personal
feeling. Skype is too dependent
on the strength of one's Internet
connectivity to contend with the
aforementioned methods, so we
won't bother with that for now.
It seems (to me, anyway),
that the best form to communicate with someone you're
missing is to find him or her
in your daily life. And that is
exactly what Irish songstress
Lisa Hannigan accomplishes in
the most poetic way possible.
Irish native Lisa Hannigan
was born in 1981 in County
Meath. She began performing professionally with fellow
Irish musician Damien Rice in
2001, mostly singing with him
on recordings and occasionally contributing guitar or bass
in live performances. Hannigan
also appears on recordings with
The Frames, Snow Patrol lead
singer Gary Lightbody and the
late Mic Christopher. Hannigan
focused the majority of her career on backup singing for Rice.
In 2007, Hannigan and Rice
had a "falling out" of sorts, and
she immediately left his tour
to begin solo work. In early
2009, "Sea Sew," her debut album, was released in the States.
Hannigan's quietly powerful, breathy vocals combine with
ethereal poetic styling to produce
tracks with as much soul as they
have substance. "Sea Sew" contains songs that seem to address
an unnamed love interest (or a few
of them) Hannigan calls "gentle
spoken friendfs]" or "my love."
E NN
Phot^^îne^^^^w^^^e^pic^re^^^^photo^et
"An Ocean and a Rock," the
first track off "Sea Sew," portrays Hannigan as someone going
about her day with someone so
strongly in her mind that he or she
is in her overcoat, her coffee, and
clearly, her mind. "I spoon you
into my coffee cup / I spin you
through a delicate wash / I wear
you all day," Hannigan hums. She
finds this person in everything
she touches, proclaiming that
the distance that "an ocean and
a rock" creates means nothing to
her. Cheerful strings, jazzy drums
and a tender guitar complete the
hopeful song's orchestration.
Perhaps Hannigan was on tour
when she wrote this song, halflamenting of the space between a
dear friend and her. People's lives
take different roads more frequently than some might prefer,
but coping with the distance is as
easy as using your day to remember what (and who) you love.
Hannigan

currently
on tour throughout Ireland.

HAPPY H OUR O F THE WEEK: BULLY'S DEL MAR
CHRIS GIANCAMILLI
MEDIA MANAGER
From the outside, Bully's
North Del Mar might not
seem like an inviting hotspot for food and drinks . The
name alone links the mind
to dive bars full of knifewielding bikers. Don't be
fooled, though. Bully's is
an enjoyable place to gather
up the group and treat each
other to a night of succulent
STUDENT
food and refreshing drinks.
Bully's is by no means a
large bar, but what it lacks
in size, it makes up for in
substance. Since the bar is
just a short drive from the
Del Mar racetrack, it features a number of interesting racehorse memorabilia.
Bully's perfectly melds
old school hardwood bars
with a racehorse theme.
Happy hour at Bully's
begins at 3 p.m. on Mondays - Fridays and ends at
7 p.m. On Sunday - Thurs-
day, a different happy hour
occurs from 10 p.m. - closing. During Bully's Happy
Hour, the bar serves $3 bottled beer, $3 domestic pints,
$4 microbrew pints, $3
house wine glasses, $6 wine
glasses and half-price appetizers. Bully's offers a wide
variety of beers on tap like
Sierra Nevada, Yellowtail
Pale Ale, Blue Moon, Stella
Artois, Newcastle, Fat Tire,
Guinness and Stone. The
bar serves several types of
wines such as Cabernet Sau-
A •• "TQ* Time" by Faith
vignon, Pinot Noir, White
Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
During Happy Hour, halfprice appetizers include the
prime rib quesadilla, Cajún
chicken bits, crab-stuffed
mushrooms, fried zucchini, calamari strips, jalapeno poppers, sautéed mushrooms, peel-and-eat shrimp
and a sampler platter.
If appetizers aren't your
thing, the dinner menu at
Bully's is enough to satisfy any hungry bar patron.
From the filet mignon to
porterhouse, steak is king at
Bully's, and it shows. However, there's more to Bully's
than just its steak. Although
it can be a bit expensive, the
menu boasts a large number of sandwiches, seafood,
salads, soups and desserts.
Bully's is located at 1401
Camino Del Mar in Del
Mar. Whether for food or
drinks, Bully's will have
you racing back for more.

preparing for transition

"Very busy, but very positive" — that
is how Dr. Karen S. Haynes' days have
been since she started her campaign f or the
CSUSM presidency.
From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach,
back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I
haven't had much time to think of all the next
steps," Haynes said.
She's been writing to-do lists for the sev-
eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started
anything yet.
Making the transition from Houston to San
Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy
a house or just rent? She said those are the
things on her mind lately.
Having to move is nothing new for her.

Lobby Corps continues tofightfor CSUSM students
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Co-Editor
Associate Students, Inc. (ASI)
sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses
in the California State University
(CSU) system gathered to discuss
issues like raising tuition fees and
shared governance in the CSU.
"It's a lot of hard work—it's not
a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice
president of external affairs for
ASI.
Roper and three other members
of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000
students in the CSU system.
With student fees raising over
30 percent this semester, the
Lobby Corps promised to fight for
lowering student fees.
The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not
raising fees," Roper said.
He said that the CSU broke their
promise to not raise fees over 10
percent in a year. Now the CSSA
must work with other groups like
the University of California (UC)
system.
He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee
increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger
will fund the school systems Janu-
ary 2004 so the race is on for the
Lobby Corps.
The Lobby Corps promotes
student welfare by influencing
law making in California, and
working with the CSU Board of
Trustees. The 25 members of
the Board of Trustees manage the
CSU system.
The Lobby Corps works to
hammer out kinks in the CSU
system.
The students find what's wrong
with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association
(CSSA) conferences, and then
lobby at state legislative meetings

The campus reaction
At CSUSM students, faculty and staff
have personal views reserved for the
oncoming president.
The university Provost, Robert Sheath
said he has two main expectations for the
president. One is that she needs to lead
the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects
her to continually improve the schools
standing in the community and improve
community relationships.
"Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well
positioned to do both of these," Sheath
said. "She showed all the attributes that
we would want in a president "
Sheath said he likes her philosophy to
seek to understand and then be understood.
"I hope all sectors of the campus can
get behind her and support her and move
us forward," Sheath added.
CFA President for CSUSM George
Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work
with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion."
Diehr said he doesn't want her to have
any preconceived notions about faculty
workloads at CSUSM.
"I hope she takes a hard look at the
objective data that shows faculty at San
Marcos have a heavier student load than
faculty at most of our sister campuses,"
he said. "She should also appreciate that
we spend about $7 million less on our
faculty salaries and benefits than other
CSU campuses of our size."
Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned
about her adherence to the Budget
Supplemental Report Language.
"Let's just see what happens," he said.
Honey Folk, ASI president, said the
environment at CSUSM is directly
related to the president.
She said the president should be open,
honest and willing and provide access to
education.
"It's time to bring about the reality of
the mission of the CSU," Folk said.
Folk explained that CSUSM has a
campus culture that values shared governance.
"We demand to be included into the
decision making process," she said. "I
am very, very excited about having the
opportunity during my term as president
to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence
which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students."

Assessing perception
of alcohol and drug
usage at CSUSM
Assessing the extent of the problem on
campus was one recommendation.
The council administered the Core
survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000
students, of which 585 responded. "The
results show that Cal State San Marcos is
below the national average for alcohol use,"
said Mitchell.
#
The four page survey; developed by the
Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range
of issues regarding alcohol and substance
abuse. Questions were asked concerning
how students perceive drug and alcohol use
among peers, and how students have been
affected by their own usage. The results

such as: noontime concerts, the annual Masquerade Ball,
homecoming week, famous speakers, BBQ's, cultural festivities, Student Leadership Awards night and many other
student-related activities, ASI is thejre.
Of all the student led groups on campus, ASI is completely governed by students. They are an organization
by the students and for the students. Throughout every
semester, ASI challenges itself to resolve student related
issues on campus and create a fair and fun environment
for the students at Cal State San Marcos.
The ASI describes itself as "a not-for-profit student, run
auxiliary. ASI is governed by a student Board of Directors
whose members are elected each year by the student body
of Cal State San Marcos. In addition, ASI is the officially
recognized voice of the students. ASI representatives continually advocate for student issues".

�Tutoring and assistance on campus
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
Students have a wealth of resources at
their fingertips for academic assistance.
From the College Republicans to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, club members have an
outstanding network system that provides
for various forms of assistance and support. Students not affiliated with any clubs
or organizations also have a wealth of
resources around campus.
Doctor Robin Keehn is the head of the
"Writing Center" located in CRA 3106-1
in the library courtyard. The writing lab
provides services to approximately 200
students weekly. This is a facility for
everyone. Students of all stages of writing
from brainstorming to thesis constructing
and outlining argumentative paper are welcome at the Writing Center. The tutors are
all trained and must take and successfully
pass (LTWR 525) before they can work at
the center. This ensures quality service to
the students. There is approximately 36
personnel on staff. Although walk-ins are
welcome, staff members suggest making
an appointment. Their hours of operation
are Monday-Thursday 8:30am- 6:00 pm.
Friday 8:30am-3:00pm. For additional
information call, 760-750-4168 or visit is
www.csus.edu/writing-center.
The Math Center is located in the same
building as the writing center. Maureen
DuPont is the coordinator. 16 tutors service approximately 3,000 students per
semester. The Math Center provides academic support, tutoring, and assistance to
undergraduate students. It helps prepare
students for the California Basic Skills

Test, CBEST, and Entry Level Mathematics, ELM. The center also provides
services to instructors whereby they can
send their students over to take quizzes.
Instructors can also check out the training aid tools and equipment to use in their
classroom. It is best to make an appointment vs. walking in although you will
receive service either way. To contact the
Math Center call 760450-4122.
The computer lab is also resourceful and
used by students daily. Yale Kim supervises the staff that runs the lab. Their
hours of operations are Mon.-Thurs 6:
30am- 100:00pm, Fri 6:30 am- 6:00pm,
Sat 8:00am- 6:00pm and Sun 12:00am- 6pm. The staff will provide assistance with

Music at CSUSM
uniting art and technology
ByALEXROSAIJNO
Pride StaffWriter
"This is the technology
centerpiece of our music
discipline" said Professor
Bill Bradbury about the
electronic music lab, which
is also a state of the art
recording studio.
The
Visual
and
Performing
Arts
department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are
unfortunately sometimes
overlooked by students at
Cal State San Marcos.
The VPA building is
located between the Science
2 and the University Hall
buildings. Even though this
is a relatively new school
the facilities and equipment
are up to speed.
Something students may
not know is that there are
practice rooms where any
student may play the piano,
for free. If students want
to learn how to play the
piano, classes are available.
The VPA department offers
courses in just about any
art subject you can think of.
The disciplines are broken
down into the following:
arts and technology track,
music track, visual arts
track, theatre track and arts
and education track.
Within these tracks, they
are able to integrate cultural
arts and styles from around
the world.
The program is very
hands on and theoretical,
according to the VPA
website.
There is a Javanese
Gamelan
Ensemble,
which teaches students
in an organized manner,
how to play the different
instruments of Indonesia.
This class mentions when
music is played and for
what reasons, such as
dances and drama. This
class may be repeated four
times. Within the classroom
there are mallets and a
gong that are reminiscent
of the Led Zepplin gong.

�Television warps our brains
By TIM JOHNSON
Pride StaffWriter
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
$300, this sucks. These were the exact words I
uttered in frustration after getting off the phone
with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked
out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender
and no note.
Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no
one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal
and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the
scene? I guess not because there was no note.
It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart.
We are instilled since we are little, if we make a
mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is
this any different?
Statistics show that only 10 percent of people
actually leave a note when they hit another car.
So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his
actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this
fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of
possessions, property, a family member, on behalf
of someone's ignorance?
No absolutely not! It is not fair.
I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults
are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing
we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our
mistakes.
Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can
say is what comes around goes around.
On that same note, another quote comes to mind,
do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.
* I am not saying that this person who hit my car
will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged
up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or
another if we do something that screws another
fellow man out of something, than there will be
consequences.
I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I
wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession.
I hope this article can instill appreciation in all
our lives for the things that we do have. As for me,
I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with
life.

As we reach thefinalstretch for
this semester, the pressure begins
to build as term papers and final
exams loom on the horizon. Now
is the time where we try to pull
the whole semester together and
prove that we have learned from
the lectures and studying. After
we reach that frenzied peak, after
the last paper is written and the
last final completed, then we can
finally relax and reflect on the
O mbudsman's N otes
accomplishment of having completed another semester.
To those who are graduating
at the end of this semester, those
last papers and finals represent
something sweeter. If there are
no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look
upon these papers and finals as
the last vestiges of educational
scrutiny for now they have their
degree and are can move confi-
dently into the world.
If they plan to proceed with
their education, fall graduates
can face the spring semester as
the beginning of that journey.
With a shorter break between fail
and spring, it is an easier jump
into the post baccalaureate realm
for the fall graduate. Most of all,
it is just having the degree that
matters to all students and the
fall graduate enjoys that honor
with a bit of uniqueness.
I would like to end this column
with some words on feedback. I
have received feedback ranging
from constructive criticism to
juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a
request. If «The Pride" causes
some of you a great deal of pain
to read, then please suggest what
we can do to alleviate this pain.
It is not our intention to instill a
malaise upon the campus. Let me
know what we can do better. Our
goal is to cover stories that relate
to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task
or have not exploited all story
possibilities, I want to know
what we need to do to improve
this paper for next semester
and into the future. The email

C hallenging t he n o-alcohol a ds a t C SUSM
ByMDCEDOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
Alcohol is a substance that permeates
not only our culture in America, but also
the cultural fabric of the world. The purpose of this brief argument is to provide
another consideration to the posters and
mouse pads on campus that reflect the
results of the Core survey.
Used readily as both sustenance and
in celebration, alcohol came to America
with the first settlers in the seventeenth
century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A.
Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is
a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised
alcohol but denounced drunkenness."
With that in mind, it is curious to
consider the dichotomy that alcohol has
become, how it has gone from being
"praised" by ministers to the double edged
sword of being revered as a social tool and
at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse.
It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance
in our society that far exceeds any other
mind-altering substance.
Alcohol advertisements pervade the
pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways.
Compared to tobacco, which had similar
commercial appeal before its dangers
were discovered and exploited, alcohol has
emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants.
However, despite the commercial appeal
and the common usage of alcohol, there is
a darker element to alcohol.
Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to
society. But drunkenness is an inevitable
consequence of readily accessible alcohol.
What constraint does society impose on
the individual in order to avoid drunkenness?
Society would dictate that ultimately
the individual is accountable for his or
her actions including the responsibility
to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It
is here that alcohol's negativity becomes
cloudy because if it is the individual's
responsibility to regulate his or her own
alcohol consumption, then how is it that
there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control?
Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under
conscious control . .. distinguished from
an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is
involuntary."
Schaler is correct, human's think about
their voluntary movements. Therefore,
this is only one explanation for a drinkers'
behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary
action, which is their responsibility.
It is not alcohol that controls humans;
rather it is humans' irresponsibly using
alcohol that sparks this negativity with
results such as the Temperance Movement,
Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect
the results of the Core survey.
These results are accurate-numerically,
but imply a connotation that limited alco-
hol use by CSUSM students is favorable.
The results are presented in a manner of
influence which is similar to peer-pressure
in the sense that the majority numbers are
designed to instill self-doubt in those who
are in the minority.
Statistics are good for objective fact,
but at an institute of higher learning and
in this presentation, these statistics appear
simplistic.
Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use.
With a substantial influence interwoven
into the cultures of the world, alcohol use
involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple
survey.
It is, therefore, naive to assume that
the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol
consumption by college students can be
explained by the Core survey.
It would likewise be a stretch to assume
that college students would not challenge
the results.

"We're excited to be building a relationship with such a young school. We hope to
offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the
festivals in your video library." Lee Ann
Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian
Film Festival.
Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and
the Executive Director for the Sand Diego
Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed
with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she
is still working with KGTV but, "this is
really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative
staff at the SDAFF.
It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate
about what she does. The films shown at
this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision
Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16
minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze,"
had poignant messages, unique artistic
angles, and messages that linger in the
memory as you walk away from the show.
The documentary "Refugee" shown
Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes
long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is
an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has
been traveling around the United States to

cal. Each allowed a look at racial issues
through different lenses.
The first, "Vision Test", was taken from
the results of a phone survey which asked
a variety of questions dealing with racial
preference including who you would feel
more comfortable with as president, for a
boss, a wife for your son.
"Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud
look at the exoticism of races and the
expectations that arise in a biracial relationship.
Viewing the 16 minute 3-D animation
love child of director San Chen, also the
Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a
flash into another time, another person's
mind and love for the art of creation.
This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like
m yself' Chen said in an interview after the
production.
Working for three years with a variety of
programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and
white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon
delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze".
The films presented by the San Diego
Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards
set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing
these three films and documentary I know
it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the
standards of Hollywood after entertaining
the amusing, charming, and provocative
methods used by creators and directors
featured by the SDAFF.

Prick StaffWriter
On Tuesday the 11th, the famous
Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman
from Queens New York, Reverend Nia
Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora
Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York
taught a dance class at CSUSM.
The previous day, on November 10th'
they had given a performance excerpt
from one of their famous works entitled
"Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to
personal, and social images of the way
that we interpret beauty, class, and our
own sense of self-worth.
After having seen the performance,
students seemed excited to be able to
learn a dance from the Urban Bush
Women themselves, and eagerly moved
out onto the dance floor. With energy
and style Reverend Eubanks lead the
class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire
helped to show students how to move.
Reverend Eubanks began the class by
allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students
a call and response method from Ghana,
Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students
would respond by shouting back "Ame"',
which means, "Yes I am!"
While warming up, students were
shown how to make a "chalice" of
energy over their heads, then were told
to release that energy by bringing their
hands slowly back down the sides of

their hands up to the front of the room,
and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As
the warm-up became more complex, she
encouraged students by telling them that

them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without

Murphy makes plans for
a family weekend that is
interrupted by a "20 minute

client, the mansion known
as Gracie Manor. Obsessed
