In the constant push of
progress and technology, new
innovations sprout up and old
ways die hard. At CSUSM,
Webmail is sprouting up and
Netscape Navigator Messenger
is dying hard.
In a recent move toward
convenience, Academic
Computing Services has
declared yet another casualty
in the technology sprint. "We
are going to have to phase
out Netscape Messenger," stated Teresa Macklin, Director of
Academic Computing
Services, "Netscape's new version is really different for
users and requires major modifications to the current configuration."

CSUSM's ASI sponsors a

team. The men's team, ranked
second in the CarlsbadOceanside Division II League,
belongs to the National
Intramural Recreational Sport
Association (NIRSA), and has
played against campuses such
as CSU Long Beach and
Pepperdine University.
Gonzalez reports that
"Presently, the women's soccer
team still needs 15 committed
women in order to begin practices." Ideally new players
would be freshmen or sophomores so that they can stay
with the team and carry on a
history t o future players.
CSUSM has not had a
women's soccer team until
this year. Last year, Stacy
Goldstein, a former student,
started collecting names to
begin a women's club.

Whipped About Nothing
The buddies meet regularly
at a local New York diner to
catch up on each other's lives,
but their focal point is always
sex and the countless reflections
on hot chicks they "bagged."
There are a few too many of
these diner scenes and they soon
become redundant. There is
less substance in the stories
being told than there is the
incessant attempt to squeeze
in as many different references
about having sex as possible.
Whipped is a comedic film
about sex and relationships. It
takes a look into the lives of
three ex-college roommates and
best friends who are still commitment-shy but always ready to
swap stories about their latest
conquests.
There is Zeke, the self-proclaimed "East Coast Enigma,"
who believes his appeal comes
from projecting a certain mystery that simply leaves the ladies
wanting more.
Into the picture enters Mia
(played by Amanda Peet), coincidentally, the object of all their
desires. All three guys fall in
love with her and the token
boy brawling ensues. Mia has
the men whipped, so to speak,
as they swallow their bachelor
mindsets.
Brad is a jocular, selfobsessed, "Wall Street guy"
who, when he stops "closing
deals" at work, is still "closing
deals" in other regards.
Jonathan doesn't possess the
same prowess as the other two,
but his libido is just as high.
His outlet, though, is more of
the self-gratifying sort. His stories involve imaginary girls with
names similar to body lotion
brands—like Nivea, Lubriderma,
or Vaselina.
Whipped stars from left to right: Judah Domke (Eric), Zorie Barber (Zeke),
Amanda Peet (Mia), and Brian Van Holt (Brad)

Throughout the film, all
the talk about "stuffing, railing,

done and not one clever line was
ever uttered. Any laughs to be

raunch and bathroom humor.
This prevented Whipped from
being viewed anywhere beyond
a shallow point. Whipped is

"Yes it did. The different clubs the campus offers, I was

Another local artist I found
interesting was Linda Besemer
and her brightly colored,
abstract works that defy the traditional framed oil on canvas.
Besemer's technique
involves working backwards
from the surface of sheets of
plexiglas using acrylic strips.
As she takes away the layers,
Besemer is left with an amazing array of colors and shine.
Her art gently folds over aluminum rods hung from the wall

With summer coming to an end, it will
be hard to say goodbye. Although I should
be happy as I was able to watch the Anaheim Ducks hoist the cup at the Honda
Center as well as see the San Antonio
Spurs win another NBA championship.
This was a summer to remember for me
in the sports world, but there are things I
want to forget.
Let me start with Michael Vick who
deserves everything that is coming to
him. This is the same guy who last year
told his brother Marcus to clean up his act
and stop getting into trouble. But now, it
is big brother who will learn the consequences of disobeying the law, as he faces
2 years in jail and a possible lifetime ban
from the NFL that he truly deserves.
But what do you expect when you are
giving players like Vick, Tank Johnson
and Adam "Pacman" Jones millions of
dollars. All they know how to do w ith,
money is cause headaches for themselves,
their families, teams and the sport.
On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds asterisked the record book by passing Hank
Aaron to become the all-time homerun
leader. Although I don't feel that an
asterisk is fully necessary for this record
as batters are not the only ones who are
juicing. We were reminded about Clay
Hensley failing a steroid test in the minor
leagues while Bonds was running the
bases to his record tying homerun at
Petco Park. The only good thing about

Bonds' record is that in 6 years, Alex
Rodriguez will be knocking Bonds off
that pedestal.
Lastly, NBA referee Tim Donaghy
found a way to hurt the game a little bit
more by admitting to gambling on NBA
games he officiated. It will now be up to
David Stern to fix the mess that Donaghy
has created for him as Donaghy faces 25
years in jail. As for Donaghy, he will have
been forgotten by start of the season as
their will be talk going on about another
NBA player breaking another law or Kobe
Bryant holding out on the Lakers because
they are not up to Kobe's caliber.
But don't get me wrong here, there
was more to the summer that is definitely
worth mentioning.
Like I said earlier, the Ducks won the
Cup, the Spurs won the championship
and talk about Bonds has finally died
down. But the best thing that happened
this summer for baseball was the induction to the MLB Hall of Fame for Tony
Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr., two players
who deserved to be in Cooperstown.
As for my summer, it was one I will
never forget. I spent time with my girlfriend and our families. Made a $100
investment on the Philadelphia Flyers to
win the Stanley Cup next year with 100:1
odds and I was also able to improve my
golf swing and my handicap. But the one
thing I am going to miss about summer is
the two months off of doing nothing.

Former Pride editor is now attending
law school.
It's hard for me to imagine that over a year and
half has past since I passed the reigns of the Pride
newspaper over to David Gatley. It seems like
only yesterday I was spending all of my spare
time in-between classes and after school situating the paper together with what I consider a
group of talented writers and designers.
Inevitably, the newspaper struggles every
year producing stories for the first issue. More
recently, the paper also struggles with recruiting staff writers. I cahnot ijtge student^
enough on how important the paper is to the
campus. It brings not only information to the stM
dent, but it is also the only voice o ftthe students
on campus r un by students. There are many options
for students to participate" kr the paper that range
f rom submitting one article-for the opinion section
to writing every week for multifile sections. For m e|
I have two main reasons why I think the newspaper
was important for my academic career at Cal State
San Marcos.
First, The Pride was a boost in my academic career.
The school newspaper was a burden of love. It took
all of my spare time but I was able to see a result of
our hard collaborated work every week. The portfolio of work I produced became a tangible product of
my time in school. I've displayed it for interviews
both in the academic and professional arenas.
Coupled with my Literature and Writing degree,
which, in my humblest opinion, is the best degree
Cal State San Marcos offers, the newspaper really
opened up doors for me.
My first motivation right after graduation was to
apply to law school.
I feel that the analytic reasoning skills that are
required for an English degree are an essential component for thefieldof law. An English degree requires
close reading. This attentive reading has developed
my ability to understand texts' implicit and explicit
meanings and my ability to generate lucid and convincing writing.
Former Pride staffer is attending graduate
school at CSUSM.
In order t o help with
my writing and analytic skills, I signed
up to be a staff writer for the student newspaper, The
Pride, atCafl State San Marcos. A fter one semester,
the advisor a§ked me to become the editor-in-chief
based oA my natural ability to lead and comprehend
the intricate nature of journalism.
Second, the Pride Newspaper helped build relationships at the school that became important in both
my personal life, academic, and professional life.
I made several good friends at the Pride. Not only
did we bond on campus, but we still stay in contact. I
still even let Michael Dolan call me on occasion just
to be nice.
My relations through the Pride helped me land my
first job as a writer for a military contract company.
Also, my reputation through the newspaper helped
me obtain some very eloquent letters of recommendation for law school.
The Pride is not for everyone though. I saw a lot of
people come and go. It takes hard work and dedication to a quality product. It even drove some of the
writers to try a different beer every week. On the
plus side, he wrote a great article for each one.
As for me, the best experience was management.
The ability to get the writers to turn their stories in
early and proof read was a true example of my leadership.

Former Pride columnist now works for the
Los Angeles Times.
This is an awkward time of the year for me because I've graduated and I'm no longer trying to come up with a column idea for
Jock Talk With Josh.
I'm not shedding too many tears because I am now living the
life I've always wanted and it's due in large part to The Pride/
I now work for the Los Angeles Times, specifically on the
Calendar/Entertainment section. That's what brought me to Los
Angeles, but another opportunity is keeping me in Lala land. I 'm
a writer and co-director on a new comedy TV show called "The
Homies Show."
The show is part stop animation based on the Homies figurines
which have been sold in vending machines for a decade. The
other part of the show is hip-hop music videos. Think Beavis &
Butthead meets The Simpson's. We're starting out in the top 13
markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami. If
it's successful it will spread to other cities like San Diego.
The Pride allowed me to be as creative as I could be. I took the
thing I knew the most about, sports, and brought that aspect to the
newspaper. It led to the San Diego Union-Tribune which led to the
Times, and a TV show. I never figured my knowledge of useless
baseball statistics would lead to where I am currently. If there's
something you're passionate about you'll never know where it can
lead until you're ready to take action.
Joining The Pride back in 2003 was the best decision I've ever
made. If you're thinking about joining the newspaper, just do it
If you have questions about anything feel free to contact me at
Joshua.Sandoval@latimes.com and I'm more than willing to help
out anyone from CSUSM.
It has been over a year and a half since my name has appeared
in print at The Pride. Until recently, it had been a while since
I'd even stepped foot on CSUSM. But my time at The Pride has
stayed with me longer than most of the memories and events of
my undergraduate career at Cal State San Marcos.
I spent several semesters working for The Pride; first as a
reporter, than as ombudsman, and finally as managing editor.
And perhaps my favorite of all: I started and maintained the
original "Beer of the Week" column at The Pride. Along with
all that, during my time at The Pride I had the honor of working alongside some of the greats in the recent history of The
Pride including Michael Dolan, Patrick Long, David Gatley,
and Jason Encabo.
Since graduating and leaving The Pride behind though, a
lot has occurred in my life. The beach, concerts, girls, beer,
my hammock, parties, more beer, and even a fist fight thrown
in for good measure... oh, and work too, have seemingly consumed my life in the void of college and books. Yet since I
left The Pride, I've also done one other thing: I've become a
writer.
In the last year I got a j ob writing press releases, as well
as other creative and technical pieces, for a consulting company and a hip-hop artist (imagine that) - all because of the
experience I gained at The Pride. I have also taken my creative writing skills to the next level, writing short stories
and aiming toward what I hope will one day prove a f ruitful
career as a freelance writer. In essence, becoming a writer is
what I always wanted, but never seriously pursued before my
time at The Pride. Indeed, I owe much to The Pride for helping me achieve my aspirations and helping me gain the experience, knowledge, and confidence to truly pursue a career
in writing.
The Pride gives those who have the skill and drive to achieve,
a means by which to do it, and never has a college campus had
a better or easier newspaper to join: all it takes is a little motivation and dedication. Whether you want to pursue journalism,
media, cartooning, editorship, layout artistry, or just writing in
general, The Pride is an opportunity not to be missed. And at
least for me, if nothing else, I still get to tell people about the
time I used to write a weekly column about beer.

The Pride can give you experience to build on later

is happening on campus, be able to assess information from multiple sources and learn how to function
effectively under deadline pressure. All these skills
will help you in the real world.
By the time you leave Cal State San Marcos, you

SarahSpinks
Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer works as a tattoo artist
at American Tattoo in Bonsall.
I remember deciding in the summer of 2003 that I
would like to participate on campus more. It seemed that
the university continued to over charge its constituents for
everything from new editions of standard texts to paying
an absurd amount of money to park in a dimly lit dirt lot.
Plus, I was just tired of all the conservatism on campus,
because the way I saw it that was a detriment to expanding your experiences.
My decision was to have my own comic strip in The
Pride, and as my previous experiences at Cal State San
Marcos had proved, it would not be hard. There would be
no competition, no line of students battling it out for the
space in print.
My suspicions were proved right at the beginning of that
fall semester when I not only volunteered for my weekly
comic strip contribution, "Emma," but I also became the
news editor of the The Pride.
The student newspaper, especially my comic strip,
became an avenue in which I could air my grievances,
point out the everyday life of the average student and
question the authority on campus.
Every week I had to write my storyline out and then
draw the scenes to correspond with it. Some strips were
better than others, but I did get better and I completely
reconnected with a passion of mine: drawing.
I graduated from college and toyed with the idea of
writing for a living, but found that I didn't have the fight
in me necessary to making this happen.

Class of 2004
Former Pride staffer now works at
Today's Local News as a graphic designer.
I had a lot ofjobs the year after I graduated. I canvassed with the Democratic
National Committee; I took school pictures; and I worked at Starbucks at four
in the morning.
Then I was approached with an
opportunity to work at a tattoo shop
again. I knew the pay would be horrible, and the people would be jerks, but
I would be able to draw again. And I
secretly hoped that by showing off my
skill and ability to draw I would be
offered a tattoo apprenticeship.
My wish came true, but then came
the work and I had to tell my family.
Let's just say they weren't pleased,
and my Grandma expressed her disappointment. That one hurt the most.
But all those old people have made
a lot of mistakes themselves, and I
would never want to make the mistake of doing something that didn't
make me happy. Someone once told
me, "Going to a j ob you don't like is
like being married to someone you
don't love."
Being an apprentice was one of the
more challenging experiences of my
life, for many reasons, but I had the
fight in me. Drawing makes every- j
thing in the world disappear. It is
better than any other form of escape
I use in my life, and I can never stop learning new things
as I draw.
The Pride gave me somewhere to put my energy and
we worked as a team most of the time. I made some of the
existence of cyberspace. It can be erased with the click of
a button, never to be remembered.
I always would pick up the new issue when it hit the
stands — despite all of the errors, asinine arguments and
predictable stories about parking and fee hikes.
The crude presentation was a part of the charm, but I
felt that rather than complain about how crappy the student newspaper was, I decided to join the staff and see if
I could help.
I found being on the newspaper staff as rewarding as it
was challenging. I participated in writing and designing,
and created a comic strip called "Beer Nuts."
The paper was never perfect, but we all had a sense of
satisfaction when somebody would call the office to tell
us how bad the paper sucked. We would respond politely
with, "Would you like to help? We need enthusiastic and
passionate students like yourself to participate." They
wouldieither hang up or shyly respond with "No thanks."
But.every once in a while, somebody would take you up
I still remember the first day of class for The Pride in
the fall 2003. It was f ull of students with no journalism
experience or newspaper background, but all expressed
genuine interest in being a part of the paper.
There were no returning students f rom the, previous
year's newspaper, and the adviser was new to the school.
We were building f rom square one, which made it seem
limitless. We slowly accepted roles and volunteered
responsibilities. We made it happen.
The idea of a student newspaper
is integral to having # student voice
on campus. In the age of the Internet,
people are arguing that newspapers are
a thing of the past andTwebsite arid blogs
are the wave of the f uturif 1 ^
But Web-based content, will never
compare to a tangible, physical newspaper. There is something about hdlding a
newspaper and seeing the efforts of the
writers, editors and designers pulling
together to create a printed product in a
form that you can fold up and take with
you anywhere.
I still have the issue that I was in as a
sophomore. A s I sat in Founders Plaza, a
student f rom the newspaper s taff asked
to take my picture and get a quote f rom
me about my thoughts on the Columbine shooting. I was so excited, and to
see my picture in print was pretty cool.
I felt as though I had made some kind of
permanence in the annals of Cal State
San Marcos.
You will never get that emotion from a

greatest friendships of my life and worked really hard for
very little pay. I could have taken that strength anywhere,
but I feel so fortunate that I was able to take it on to something I love so much: being an artist.
on the offer.
"How can I help?" they would ask.
"Do you have a camera? Do you like writing? Take pictures, write stories"
That's the beauty of a school paper; if you express
interest, you can make it happen. When I heard that The
Pride has been under scrutiny and faced with an uncertain
future, I felt ashamed that such an important tradition of
student life and identity would be threatened. It makes
sense though.
The student newspaper always has been an outlet for
dissenters and outspoken individuals to express concern
over how their school is being run. If there is no newspaper, who will be the voice of the students on campus?
Student government?
In my experience with student government, they are
acting under the higher hand of the administration and
generally express the voice of the average student who
just wants to go to school to for the sake of learning, rather
than joining a bunch of clubs and participating in the great student life at Cal
State San Marcos. Don't get me wrong,
there should be student elections, but
the newspaper will always serve as the
true voice of the students, grammatical
errors and all.
I am fortunate to have found a job in
the journalism field. I have been working for two years as a page designer for
Today's local news. I love being able
to be creative everyday and seeing a
product that I can hold. I still hear complaints about how bad the paper sucks,
but journalist are generally unphased
by this and trudge on knowing that the
public is more apt to complain than it is
to praise.
The newspaper industry is in a bad
place with many papers going under
due to a lack of advertising revenue.
It's hard to compete with low overhead

�each Bum Blonde Ale
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Summer has died, yet again. Each
year summer sets students free for several months of bliss, or at least life without course work for those who decline to
attend summer school. With each year of
summer birth transcends summer death,
a gloomy and unwanted realization of
the beginning of another semester. Beach
Bum Blonde Ale captures the taste and
attitude of a southern Californian summer
that many Cougars cherish.
Anheuser-Busch began in 1860 and
operates from St. Louis, Missouri.
Currently, the brewery classifies as
the third largest brewing company in the
world. The brewery corners the market
with their new marketing program titled
Seasonal Draught. Seasonal Draught
quarterly produces seasonal brews for
the masses. The first run of the breweries summer seasonal draught Beach Bum
Blonde Summer Ale nets the fish without
hurting the dolphins.
The cardboard container, carefully holding six 12 fluid ounce bottles, easily pops
with flash and excitement through any
frosty store refrigeration window. The
cardboard container portrays bright yellow
sunshine rays descending upon a vivid
baby blue colored ocean adorned with lime
green textured grass. Summer sun orange
decorates the rest of the packaging.
A sun kissed, long messy blonde haired
Caucasian surfer dude, decked out in an
open white and blue flowered Hawaiian
styled shirt with red board shorts, sunglasses and puka shells and all, cheerfully holds a yellow and orange surfboard in one hand, and yellow and orange
ale in a glass in the other. The scenery
depicts a never sun setting sunset. Dark
brown accents tint the glass and are
labeled with the scene f rom
the cardboard container.
The yellow bottle cap contains the contents of an ale
with an alcohol by volume
of 5.4 percent. The ale pours
smooth with a mild half inch
thick head. The luscious hue
of the ale captures a San
Diego coast sunset of rich,
powerful, amber glistening rays. Sweet and sugary
aroma arises from the summery ale. Pale and caramel
roasted barley malts which
are hopped with imported
spices comprise a smooth and
f ull bodied refreshing taste.
Just enough flavors create a crisp
Dubai
BY OMAR SAEB
Pride Contributor
Dubai, City of Endless Possibilities
When people mention the United Arab
Emirates, it is often overshadowed by
the well-known emirate of Dubai. The
immense popularity and growth of Dubai
as a travel destination has led this small
emirate to continue to build record breaking sky-scrappers and entertainment facilities which the world has never before seen.
Like much of the Middle East, twenty
years ago Dubai was a small emirate in
reaction amongst the taste buds. The
brewery recommends consuming the ale
with barbecue, fish, and or salads.
Summer has ended. While the average
Cougar can run up to 35 miles per hour,
enjoy a stroll at a relaxing 3
miles
per hour to the nearest
market.
Purchase
the
last
remains of summer while
it last for the ale will be
replaced soon with Jack's
Pumpkin Spice Ale.
City of
Endless ^
Possibilities
the middle of the desert. Today, Dubai
is competing to be the financial center of
the Middle East and is home to various
attractions in which tourists flock to year
around. In late 2008, Dubai is in the process of completing the tallest man made
building in the world reaching 168 floors,
called Burj Dubai. From the outdoorsy
type to the shopaholic, Dubai has it all.
When traveling to the Middle
East there is always a sense of caution due
to the instability of the region, but Dubai
is another story. With all the hype about
Dubai, I wanted to experience it first hand.
A fter spending about three weeks there, I
had done everything from indoor snowboarding to a desert safari. I realized that
there-are endless possibilities in Dubai.
It would be 120 degrees outside and you
can go snowboard or ski in the Mall of the
Emirates. What is amazing is that for half
the day you can snowboard, then go on a
dune-bashing safari excursion and explore
the vast ancient deserts of the Middle East.
The amount of classy hotels and shopping
districts is unimaginable. The Mall of the
Emirates is the biggest mall in the region
in which Ski Dubai is located.
Although Dubai is a place filled
with unique modern architecture and end-

less tourist excitement, be aware of the
scorching hot weather that engulfs the
region during the summer. Travelers need
not worry commercial air conditioners to
the rescue! If you are traveling to Dubai
make sure to check out various hot spots
such as Jumeriah Beach, Sho Cho Lounge
and Bar at the Le Meriden Hotel, Dubai
Safari's, Ski Dubai, Medinat Jumeriah (city
of Jumeriah) Mall as well as Burj Al-Arab
Hotel. Burj A1 Arab hotel is the only selfproclaimed seven star hotel in the world.
The building in itself is an architectural
masterpiece. Many Europeans every year
fldck to Dubai as their vacation hot spot, so
when you are planning out your next vacation, take look at Dubai and I guarantee
you will have the time of your life.

Due to the fact that I have
been pretty much counting down
the days until school starts, my
friends have officially classified
me as a nerd.
Sure, I measure my life by
semesters rather than months and
years, and I begin reading f rom
my semester book list the minute
it becomes available. They may
or may not be right. The truth is,
however, the root of my excitement comes from knowing this
year will be a great one.
We have many developments^
v going on both in our community
and in the world: our campus
community keeps growing and
becoming more diverse while
many administrative changes
have swept out campus, not to
mention we have an interesting
presidential election ahead of us,
marriage in California is granted
to anyone regardless of sexual
preference, among many other
things.
More than anything else, it is
an exciting time to be a journalist.
So what does this mean for
you? Perhaps not much at first,
but as you newcomers become
more acquainted with our campus
you will Took for information on

that is where The Pride comes in.

Managing E ditor's welcome
some great people that come
and go, whether through our
staff, interviews, advertisers,
etcetera. However, the greatest
pleasure has come from knowing a core group that has always
stuck around to make sure The
Pride is constantly improving to serve our readers, and
that is the group of editors that
week after week—even in the
summer— have worked really
hard to improve this medium of
information.
As an organization, we are
dedicated to the coverage of
campus events and news in a
way that is fair and unbiased.
We strive to cover as much
as the campus community as
we can in each issue while
at the same time celebrating
diversity and bringing . light
to issues seldom talked about.
As The Pride's leader, I expect
and promote ethical behavior, learning and growth from
our staff. Prior to The Pride,
I dedicated my energy to covering issues mainly impacting
the Latino Community and
border and immigration controversies. I was also editor
of an award-winning college
newspaper prior to transferring
to CSUSM, so journalism has
been my religion and political
affiliation for some years now.
I look forward to interacting
with our campus and surrounding community as we work
toward serving whom we are
here to serve: you. Our readers.
Let this be the beginning of a
wonderful year.

Pride Staff Writer
It was right around this time
last year when I first stepped
foot into The Pride office a
tender footed newcomer to
journalism. A fter only a year
here it feels as if I have transformed into a weathered and
battle-seasoned newshound.
By most standards we are
considered a small campus, but
we still seem to find a way to
shake things up in a big way.
Our campus and much of the
rest of the county almost burned
to the ground. Religious fanatics trumpeted damnations in
our walkways.
Our Spring Fling ended early
because somebody jumped
off the boat. And even with
all of the crazy happenings on
campus we still managed to

THE PRIDE
pull off one of the most exciting
and positive years CSUSM has
ever seen.
Now in my second semester
as the Managing Editor at The
Pride and my third semester
total, I can honestly say that I'm
more excited than ever to be a
part of this campus.
I know that summer is not an
easy thing to let go of, but like
all things that obligate us to be
unwillingly optimistic, there is
a bright side. The good thing
about the end of summer—if
there is such a thing at all—is that
it offers up to us an unmarked
chance to create a college experience that is our own.
Like hitting the reset button,
those of us that are returning get
a renewed chance do the things
we wished we had done the year
before. Knowing the amazing
things that people are capable of
doing with these opportunities is
why I love working for our student newspaper so much.
I find it nothing but a privilege to document this college in
its infancy. Instead of walking
into someone else's traditions
we have a rare chance to cement
our own college legacy.
From where I sit, I am able to
survey the changes and growth
of a campus bristling with unrivaled potential. My only hope is
that the Pride can keep up with
all of it.
To our newest classmates, the
class of 2012: Venture a little
bit. Seize the limitless possibilities that our campus has to offer.
It will make college infinitely
better.
To CSUSM as a whole: Bring
it. We at the Pride are only as
good as the things you make
happen.

Cougars go Google
Your one stop
Tuesday; August 26, 2008
site for all your
« automobile needs
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Pride Staff Writer
Even with the recent drop
in gas p rices, the exorbitant
amount of money we spend
on gas is still a hot topic with
everyone looking f or ways to
save at the pump.
We've seen the commercials about keeping your tires
properly i nflated and driving
slower t o get the most out of
a t ank of gas. MSN brings
u s another way to make our
money go f urther.
The MSN Autos Web site,
autos.msn.com, allows you to
input your Z IP code and search
f or the lowest gas p rices in
your area. The search comes
with a map that shows where
gas stations are located and
a list of all the gas stations
w ithin the Z IP code and their
p rice f or r egular u nleaded
gasoline in addition to plus,
p remium, and diesel when
available. It also gives you the
lowest, average and highest
gas p rices for your ZIP code
and for the nation.
The Web site is updated
nightly and receives its information f rom more than 90,000
gas stations across the nation.
However, because gas p rices
can change d uring the day the
i nformation is not always 100
percent accurate.
The site also has other
information related to cars
and driving.
They have a t raffic page
that maps out how f ast t raffic is moving on d ifferent
f reeways and f lags accidents
and indicates whether it is
minor, moderate or severe.
It provides a list of why the
t raffic is heavy whether it is
due to an accident, an event,
or j ust normal congestion. It
also provides a start time and
an estimated end time for the
congestion.
Another f eature the Web
site provides helps you to
manage your car. For this feature, you must register with
the Wei) site and provide your
e-mail address, ZIP code and
the year, make and model of
your car. The Web site will
send you notifications on
any recalls related to your
car and send you reminders
of when you need to get your
oil changed and get major and
minor preventative services
pn your car.
The site also has links to
their sponsors' sites where
you can get information on
cars for sale, f inancing and
insurance.
Gmail boasts improved quality
BY AMY SALISBURY
Pride Staff Writer
Returning students are in for a
surprise when they first check their
school e-mail accounts this semester. As a result of increased enrollment and more communication via
the Internet, the Instructional and
Information Technology Services
(IITS) chose to make a permanent switch to Gmail during the
summer of2008.
Since 1995, CSUSM has offered
free e-mail accounts for its students. The system was relatively
basic compared to the more
advanced (and universally free)
Yahoo, Google, and MSN e-mail
services. With more and more students sending large e-mail attachments, IITS started making sweeps
through the university's server and
deleting old emails so as to keep
some space free. Eventually the
students outgrew SquirrelMail so
Gmail took over.
The biggest modification is certainly the obvious "yourname@
csusm.edu" changing to "yourname@cougars.csusm.edu." Other
than that, IITS promises only
improvements. Rather than occasionally deleting old e-mails, Gmail
provides 6.5 gigabytes of storage,
which is apparently increasing by
the minute.
Luckily, until December 31,
2008, mail sent to old accounts
automatically forwards to Gmail
preventing anything from getting
lost in the cyber-shuffle. However,
the wise option is to make sure
important contacts know of the
switch as soon as possible.
Advantages to Gmail compared
to CSUSM's past e-mail server
extend beyond campus life. The
account provided by Gmail is for
life, as long as current students
obtain diplomas.
Google Apps has downloadable software that facilitates e-mail
access from Blackberries, iPhones,
and other J2ME enabled phones.
Also, Gmail comes with a calendar that can send out text message
reminders for upcoming events.
Unfortunately, some students
have received and continue to
receive e-mails claiming to be
from the university concerning
the switch to Gmail. The emails
request the recipient provides birthdates, passwords, and other information that IITS would never ask
for. Teresa Macklin, IITS's Information Security Officer, identified
these e-mails as phishing attacks,
urging students to delete these
emails immediately. If you did
respond to the email and included
sensitive information, call the IITS
Help Desk (760)750-4000, Ext.
4790.
As of Aug. 7, approximately 70
percent of the student body experienced a successful migration to
Gmail, while the other 30 percent
of students' accounts should be in
working order soon. Gmail access
links are on the new CSUSM Web
site under Student—Webmail.

Bios, info and grettings from the people who make things happen
Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac
Editor-in-Chief
I'm starting off my senior
year as a History major, and
this will be my third semester at The Pride, and my second as EIC. In addition to the
Pride, I am a proud member of Alpha Pi Sigma sorority,
an organization dedicated to academic excellence, community service and sisterhood. Prior to becoming editor,
I ran the Features section of The Pride. Twice the Associated Collegiate Press has named me National Newspaper
Reporter of the Year, and because of it San Diego County
named a day a fter me (Nov 8). I also work as a teacher at a
juvenile detention facility and have a three-year-old son.
My name is Ben Roffee and I'm the
Managing Editor. I am most easily
identified by the obnoxious shark
backpack I haul around campus. You might also see me
sporting a "Venezia" captain's hat. I was born in Venezuela and people often mistake my Venezia hat to say Venezuela. It doesn't. I'm an odd 20 year-old Junior here at
CSUSM known best for my affinity for pugs and inability
to be photographed normally. I'm a proud member of the
• Greek community in the Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) fraternity.
I'm also known to take too many pictures with a camera
that is far too expensive for my own good. I make music in
a variety of forms, mainly via guitar or my computer, most of which I am just too reluctant
to share with the world. I have a rather eclectic array of music and I don't read as much as I
would like to.

as News Editor and third semester writing for The Pride...
I am a Literature and Writing Studies major and will be
graduating in Spring ' 09.1 also work at the Starbucks on
campus. When I joined The Pride last fall, I had no idea I
would enjoy journalism as much as I do. In my spare time,
I enjoy anything; reading gossip magazines at grocery
stores, watching good TV shows that have already been
cancelled, and eating Thai food.
Kathryn McBrayer
A&E Editor
Hello CSUSM Pride readers.
My name is Kathyrn McBrayer
and I am the new editor for the
A rts and Entertainment section of The Pride Newspaper. I am a senior here at CSUSM working toward the
final touches on a BA in Literature and Writing. I live in
Oceanside and enjoy good food and a good book.
Amy Salisbury
Opinion Editor
Hello! My name is Amy Salisbury
and I'm the Opinions Editor. I'm a
19-year-old sophomore and this is
my second semester at The Pride. Right now, my major
is Literature and Writing studies, and I'd like to pursue
a career that involves creative writings journalism, or
something in the media. My favorite things are Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the band Keane, both of which
are guaranteed to wind up in my everyday conversations. If you have a strong opinion about something
affecting our campus community, I 'm your girl!

also work for The Pride). That's my life in a nutshell.

Well hello there, my name is Nick
Strizver and I'm the Layout Editor here
at The Pride. I've been involved with
layout design since my sophomore year in high school. I'm
a pre-nursing student taking my prerequisites for the nursing program and looking to become a Registered Nurse. I
spend my time working on The Pride, going to class and
now volunteering at Palomar hospital. My spare time is slim
to none now that school has started. When I have some, I go
to work with my brother at Fortress Coftiputer Pros to learn
ho to build and fix computers. My hobbies include motocross, photography and Applescript, in that order.
Rudy Martinez
Assistant Layout Editor
My name is Rudy Martinez
and since I am too lazy to write
my own introduction I have
asked someone who knows me better than I know myself
to do it. I am currently 23 years old and have a passion for
anything to do with technology, which explains the fact
that I am a business major with an emphasis in information systems. When I'm not doing the layout for the paper,
working at the student help desk, or at school, I am at home
playing video games or doing other mindless activities,
which definitely does not include my homework.
Tiffanie Hoang
Copy Editor
I am the copy editor. I like
watching Planet Earth when David
Attenborough is narrating. I put it on
mute when the other lady talks. I like Boris Pasternak,
Vladimir Nobokov, and Rachmaninoff. I like all of
them. I also think Arrested Development is/was the
best show and i t's a scandal that it was taken off the air.

Many stories come out of the Olympic
Games and though record setting and medal
counts are always under the spotlight, the
2008 Olympic Games in Beijing gave viewers the opportunity to witness history in the
making. Michael Phelps, the 23-year-old
swimmer from Baltimore, Maryland broke
the world record for most gold medals won
in a single Olympic Games, winning his
eighth gold medal in the men's 4 x 100meter medly relay on August 17,2008.
Previous record holder, Mark Spitz, also
a swimmer, won seven golds in the 1972
Olympic Games in Munich. After Phelps
tied Spitz for seven golds in a single Games,
Spitz told the Associated Press, "Epic. It
goes to show you that not only is this guy the
greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time, he's maybe the
greatest athlete of all time. He's the-greatest
racer who ever walked the planet."
In addition to winning the gold for each
event he participated in, Phelps, also set 7
world records in Beijing. The only event he
did not set a record for was the men's 100meter butterfly, his seventh event, in which
he beat Serbian-American swimmer, Milorad Cavic, by 1/100 of a second.
The rest of the U.S. men's swim team
and the women's volleyball team have also
received high acclaim for their performances in Beijing, Michael Phelps made
swimming the most watched event of the
Olympic Games for 2008.
In 2004, Phelps won 6 gold medals in
Athens, Greece.

VOL. XXIII N O. 3
place
o n athletic fee increase
to CSUSM
BY JAMES ROCHE
Pride Staff Writer
Students are due to vote
on the proposed athletics fee
increase that could potentially decide the f uture of
some sports at Cal State San
Marcos.
According to the Cal State
San Marcos athletics website, the proposal would
increase the current athletics
f ee each semester for three
years.
A majority in the upcoming vote, which takes place
between Feb. 16 and 25,
would increase the fees by
$20 a semester for three
years, starting f rom the next
academic year.
Students currently pay
$80 a year but this would
increase $120 a year for the
f irst year. T he fees would be
$160 for the second year and
the increases would stop at
$200 for the year at the end
of the third academic year.
This would allow men's and
women's basketball teams to
b e set up as well as women's
volleyball and dance/cheer.
Introduction of these sports
would also gain membership
to the National Collegiate
Athletic Association division
two (NCAA).
This university is currently
in the National Associations
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). This independent association has no conference a ffiliation, making
scheduling of matches and
competitions d ifficult and
o ffers no reimbursement for
post-season play.
Cal State San Marcos athletics director Tom Seitz feels
it is important for the f uture
of sports at this university
to gain acceptance into the
NCAA. Seitz said, "Where
the athletics program is right
now in the NAIA, there is no
f uture there. We need to go
to the NCAA. CSUSM is the
largest and one of the only
schools in the c ountry that
does not have men and women's basketball.
"The only way we can
become a member is to add
these sports. Without t his
increase it may negatively
a ffect the sports we have
right now."

Ten nomination g amble p ays off
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Last summer, the
Academy of Motion
Pictures Arts and
Sciences, the group
behind the Oscars,
announced for the
first time in decades
they would nominate
ten films for Best Picture. I was
excited for this expansion from
the traditional five, but there was
speculation from online commenters that this would be a
waste and the nomination would
not carry the same merit.
When the nominations were

announced on Tuesday, I was ecstatic
to see the picks. The
Academy did a fine
job picking the films
this year. I think the
usual five left out
too many films that
deserved praise. The
ten picks this year
are a cross section of
some great films from several
genres.
First, I was most pleased with
the nomination of Disney/Pixar's
"Up." Despite the franchise's
strong history of films, this is
only the second animated film
ever to be nominated for Best
Picture. And it deserved it. It
was one of my favorite films of
the last decade and is an instant
classic. Though I do not think it
will upset "Avatar" or "The Hurt
Locker," I was pleased the Academy broke the barrier for animated films.
I was also happy about the
diversity of the films, spanning
from the highest grossing movie
of all time, to some equally
enjoyable independent films.
Indie films usually are snubbed

C SU S M Greek life d ernfpÄl
BY M ALLANE DRESSEL
Pride S ^ff Writer
"Brightly colored Greek letters cover
grey S idewalks, and meet and greet
b arbfgues commence the fall rush for
our f raternities and sororities here on
campus. If the bright letters and jovial
face& of those in these organizations
d oipialready have you curious, maybf
moils information will, or at least caul®
you t o have more appreciation for these
organizations.
Greek life has a stereotype, mostly
extracted from media influences,
which the presidents of these organizations are greatly trying to overcome.
The president of Alpha Chi Omega,
Karissa Joiner, said, "Leave all judgments and previous ideas of these organizations at the door, because if you
don't, you might be missing out on a
wonderful experience," an experience
that includes discovering and respecting yourself, others, and your school.
CSUSM recognizes three sororities, Alpha Pi Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta,
Alpha Chi Omega, and two f raternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Zeta Beta
Tau.
Alpha Pi Sigma is a Latino based
sorority that strives to promote unity,
and cultural awareness.
One of Zeta Beta Tau's leading
principles on their website is integrity, which they outline as "maintaining honesty, exhibiting loyalty, and
retaining a sense of self discipline."
According to Zac Fullmer, ZBT President, "within two short years, ZBT at
Cal-State has grown from 14 guys in
a dorm room to 43 strong men. Along
that journey we have won; Best New
Student Org, All Greek Academic
Cup, Three time intramural Football
Championships, and made thousands
of quality relationships with campus
students and faculty."
Alpha Xi Delta is a sisterhood that
lives by the motto "realize your potential." They want each sister to reach
Photo by Ben Roffee
their highest potential both as a student, and as a member of society. The
sisters strive to achieve this goal by
attaining accomplishments such as
3,500 hours of community service, and
also by raising f unds to contribute to
Autism Speaks. These fraternities and
sororities pride themselves on dedicating time to philanthropic e fforts.
Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000
last year from their fundraiser, Mr.
Alpha Chi, to contribute to Women's
Resource Center in Oceanside. They
currently work there with women and
children who are victims of domestic
violence, because they are a sisterhood
devoted to establishing strong women
within the community.
They are looking for new members
that will strengthen their presence on
campus. The president, Joiner, believes
this will "...create a better representation of our Greek life on campus for
the city of San Marcos. That way, we
can be more positively involved in our
community." i
Last year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon
started the "Rebuild Louisiana" trip,
which included 17 individuals. This
year they want to broaden the scope
of involvement by including Greeks
from other, organization. This f raternity exudes tremendous school
pride through their cheer group, "The
Blue Crew," attending games, which
encourages other students to support
their student body.
When asked about the advantages
of being a member, President Travis
Wilson said, "Brotherhood. When
you have a group of guys, just working together to make each other better,
right there, you j ust have success "
Not only are these organizations
altruistic towards their school, and
community, but they also built life long
bonds, and have f un along the way. A
student can see the perks f rom getting a positive and valuable experience
from school. The individuals in these
fraternities, and sororities see these
organizations as a vehicle to achieve
such an experience, not only in school,
but also throughout life.
If this new information has intrigued
you into exploring one of these organizations, seek more knowledge from
their websites or from the upcoming
Greek Fair on Feb. 11 during U-hour at
the University Plaza.

Situation has yet to improve
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer
Originally, there were three main lots
students used: Parking Lot C (ACD lot),
Parking Lot E (MARK lot), and Parking
Lot N (SCI lot). In Aug. 2008, lot N closed
down in preparation for the construction
of a new parking structure, which is due to
finish in July 2010. With the closure of lot
N, students then used the other two main
parking lots. This created an immense
amount of overcrowding and traffic surrounding lots C and E. Parking and traffic have now become a serious issue on
campus that many students deal with on a
daily basis.
Numerous students drive to campus in
order to attend classes at CSUSM, which
makes parking a vital aspect to many students' educations. With the increasing student population, traffic around campus is
a factor students must consider in order
ASK
to get to classes on time. Understanding where students drive from and where
they park ultimately determines when students arrive. Each student has a method
that guarantees a parking spot, getting to
campus, and getting to classes on time.
Learning and understanding these methods proves to be an important aspect to
many students, but there are still many
issues.
"I live in Temecula and I have to leave
my house an hour before I have class," said
Justin Prewitt, a student here on campus.
"Depending on the time of day, if I leave
any earlier or later I can be late for classes.
There is one main road students use to get
into campus and it causes a lot of traffic.
I usually park in the MARK parking lot
towards the back, which affects what time
I get to class as well."
Another student, Billy Barron, said, "I
live five minutes away from campus and I
leave twenty minutes before my class, if I
a concern that will not go away and may
even become worse. Another student,
Bryan Alt, expressed his opinion about
parking on campus. "The traffic around
here is ridiculous. Traffic on campus is a
frustrating thing most of the time. I wish
there was a better planned parking design
for CSUSM." With the completion of the
parking structure, due to finish in Aug.
2010, most students only hope it will alleviate the parking issues on campus.

break, the third quarter kicked
off as a shock to all spectators. For the f irst time in
Super Bowl history, the Saints
kicked an on-side kick and
recovered the football.

C ougar Baseball shuts out Patten in S unday double-header
BY KYLE TREMBLY
Coming o ff a rough 12-0
loss to Patten U niversity
on Friday, Cougar baseball
e xtracted revenge on Sunday.
The team c ame out f iring on
all c ylinders, w inning game
one 9 -0 and game two 6 -0.
CSUSM improves to 4-1-1
on the s eason, w hile Patten
drops to 1-5.
Game one was dominated
by Cougar s tarting pitcher
Brett M iller. The t all righty,
who shut down #2 Point
Loma in h is CSUSM debut
a fter t ransferring f rom San
Diego State, went the distance.
He t ossed seven e ffortless shutout i nnings, s urrendering j ust t hree h its w hile
w alking none and s triking
out t hree. M iller was e conomical with his pitches,
relying on a d efense that rose
t o the occasion by not committing an error.
"I d idn't feel like I had my
b est s tuff when I was w arming up, by a fter I got t hrough
t he f irst couple i nnings I settled down and s tarted dealing," said Mrller f ollowing
the game.
And t he Cougar o ffense,
a fter being shut out d uring
F riday's loss, responded as
well, s tarting with a fourrun f irst i nning.
R icardo
Moran and Kevin Silvett got
t hings s tarted with one out
singles, and a Josh Miller
double down the l eft f ield
l ine scored them b oth.
J ohnny. Omahen followed
that up with a nearly identi-
cal RBI double of his own,
and a fter stealing t hird,
scored on a Steve H arris
i nfield single.
R BI's f rom Ryle Parks and
Omar M anzanarez would
mak$ it 6 -0 in the t hird, and
a two out, t wo-run single by
Mike Pena made it 8 -0 in t he
f ourth. The C ougars' f inal
r un came on a base hit by
M iller in the f ifth.
Not
to
be
outdone,
game two s tarter Travis
McCracken kept the Patten
o ffense scoreless. He lasted
f ive i nnings, allowing j ust
two h its and two w alks while
s triking out f ive.
Together, t he C ougars'
top two s tarters have now
t hrown 25.1 i nnings t his
season without allowing a
single r un.
At the plate, CSUSM once
again j umped out t o an early
lead, t his t ime 2 -0 in t he
f irst. M anzanarez led o ff
with a double, and a t wo-run
bomb f rom Josh M iller put
t he C ougars in t he d river's
seat.
The C ougars would extend
it to 5 -0 in the t hird, t hanks to
an RBI double f rom O mahen,
sac f ly f rom H arris, and RBI
single f rom Mike Pena. The
t eam's f inal r un came t he
f ollowing i nning c ourtesy of
an Omahen f ielder's choice.
Relievers Eric J ulienne and
Spencer Pardon f inished o ff
the shutout, each t hrowing
an easy, scoreless i nning.

fussy process. Even so, people did
it because of one simple fact: it^Jun
toie&eive mix tapes.
After the idea caught on, it
seemed like the same 10 to 12 songs
kept appearing on mix tapes, especially ones tailored and intended for
the most mix tape-worthy holiday
of all, Valentine's Day.
Now that iTunes makes mixing
and burning CDs so easy, none of
you guys have any excuse to hold
out on making your girlfriends a
mix CD. But all of these mix tape
standbys have modern counterparts
that need a little mix tape love too.

Take for example Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." I'm just as
in love with Lloyd Dobler as any
other chick this side of 1983, but
this ditty is overplayed. An equally
emotive update exists in "Eyes" by
Rogue Wave. The idea is the same,
but the sound is far more listenerfriendly.
Everyone knows "Just Like
Heaven" by The Cure. Don't let
the rough, streets-of-London exterior that Unkle puts on put you off.
"Heaven" is a mellower, slightly
industrial track that could easily
slide in among other mix tape classics.
The 90s had some developing mix tape classics too, including "Kfcs Me" by Sixpence None

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

services, check online at http://www.csusm.edu/

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

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