Wellness
Month at

BYADIA BESS
Pride Staff Writer
Several health-related
events scheduled in the
following weeks
The Dome is not a name on
campus that most people become
excited about. We've all heard the
conversations bashing the food
quality, the prices and the look, but
the conversations might just come
to an end.
The Dome is getting ready for an
extreme makeover, Cal State San
Marcos style.
. Christopher Wood, head chef for
the Dome, is expecting some money
(the amount is not yet known) from
the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students
say are much needed renovations.
"I have a very positive outlook
for food service in the Dome in the
near future," said Wood. "It will
certainly be something to look forward to."
Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal
State San Marcos, said, "I think the
Dome is ugly. It's been the same
color for the past ten years, so they
should change it."
Another student, junior Nelenie
Aronce had some unenthusiastic
thoughts as well.
"The food is expensive, and it's a
last resort when you're really, really
hungry," said Aronce.
When talking to Woods, he stated
his goals were both long term and

At CSUSM March is Wellness Month, a collaboration to bring students into the Clark Field
House to experience fun stress relieving techniques as well as to learn ways to live a healthy
lifestyle. Wellness month is also aimed at helping to promote a sense of well-being around the
campus.
All month long events will be held in the Clark
Field House and free lunches and prizes will be
given out. In addition advice will be given on
many emotional and mental issues Cal State San
Marcos students face.
Along with prizes given out at individual
events, a wellness pursuit card can be obtained
at every Wellness Month event attended, and at
the end of March the cards can be redeemed for
shirts and other prizes.
The biggest event of Wellness Month, The
Wellness Fair and Expo, is being held tomorrow
Wednesday March 9. From 11 am - 2 pm at the
Clarke Field House there will be wellness information along with prizes, free food, a golf clinic,
and raffles. Following the expo, free massages
will be available until 5 p.m. The Fair and Expo
is being put on by the Clark Field House in conjunction with Student Health Services.

Physical Education for
elementary school teachers
On Thursday March, 3 from 10-11 am in Founders Plaza Dr. Laura
deGhetaldi's PE 203 class was learning an activity called "Panel chutes
and parachutes." The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the
attention of many passers-by.
According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have
caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools.
As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers
fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into
the elementary school system.
"It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the
elementary school level," said deGhetaldi.
Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities.
"It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a
student in the class.
Students will vote for their
new ASI representatives
March 21-24.
Candidates
have now started their campaigning process to vie for
your vote. To be an informed
voter, students can read statements from the candidates in
this issue of The Pride. On
pages 2-3, candidates have
submitted statements to students along with the position
they are running for.

Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of
Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the
following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected
budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students
don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on
150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on
Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning
Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to
have funds allocated towards the campus population
as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester.

I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve

do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that
you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A
few things that are important to me is keeping the
cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class
availability, and increasing advising availability.
So vote for me, Ashley Dunn as V.R of Finance.

too many people have no say in the decisions our
school makes. The history department is an example of this. Our department traditionally has few or
no representatives and there is no one to advocate

the inclusion of Latin American

advocate for the general student

a coordinator of this month's
events.
According to Romero, getting students and faculty to
work together and promote a
better campus environment for
learning and relaxing is a big
part of Wellness Month.
During Wellness Month,
coordinators like Devon will be
promoting the six dimensions
of wellness.
The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness,
intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the
six dimensions of wellness will
be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension.
Organizers are planning
many different events that students can come and take place
in, such as yoga, self-defense
classes, and a seminar entitled
Chicken Soup for the Cougar
Soul.
Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as
Blue Monday, and different
events such as yoga, progressive
relaxation, and guided imagery
will accompany the morning's
events. Each blue Monday will
try and undertake one of the six
dimensions of personal wellbeing.

Through various proposals

the short term goals during the
summer of 2005.
P hoto by A dia B ess / The Pride
Wood has lots of ideas that he
is ready to begin working on.
"I love working in a University
environment, but I wish I could
just go, go, go! There is a radical
sense of urgency," said Wood.
Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look
bigger, painting with neon or
bright colors, and an upgrade to
the look and names of the five
eateries currently in the Dome.
In addition the food will also
have a new taste. The salad bar
will offer more choices, we will
be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and
four cheese, the sub station will
adopt a new superhero theme, the
quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the
House of Tsang (half Asian and
half Italian) will transform into a
bigger Mexican food concept.
Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the
Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new
area.
This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's
history.
In September of 2002, the
Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to
design and outfit a new kitchen
which included professional
ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers,
a stainless steel food prep area,
pass-through refrigerators, and
separate areas for dishwashing,
food storage, and offices.
Wood said he is very excited
about implementing new menus
that keep pace with the changing
tastes of students.
"Years ago it was ok to serve
grilled cheese and tomato soup;
now campuses have to offer as
many choices as possible," he
said.
Wood said that even with
changes in the menu he wants
to, "maintain foods that will be
affordable to the masses."

Tips and suggestions for a f un and care-free vacation
Poet Bridget Gray coming
to campus for Women's
History Month
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Between parties and sun-bathing, students do not want to spend their Spring
Break vacation worrying about minor
details. So, the smart student will plan
ahead. Spring Break vacation can be
enhanced with the right tools of knowledge.
Before planning a getaway, knowing
where to go is a key point and several web
sites list the most popular destinations for
f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site
has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico
as the second most popular destination.
Since international destinations come with
some much needed precautions, students
should arm themselves with knowledge of
health concerns within a certain region.
Fear not, help is as easy as the Center
for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's
traveler's health site contains information
regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site
has travel tips located on the University
Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm.
edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site
has links for traveler's health, currency
converters and airport guides. There is
also great information on problem areas
that students should avoid traveling to.
For international travel, students have
many concerns to consider and should be
aware of organizations like International
Students Travel Confederation (ISTC).
ISTC will help students to get organized
for travel and offers student discounts
around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also
provides company information for travel
agents that deal discount fares for full time
students. They can keep students informed
and safe while traveling and list approved
travel agencies that students can use in
conjunction with ISTC.
STA Travel is one of Itch's approved
travel agencies and they have offices on
the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific
Beach area. Mike Medina of the SDSU
office explained that students should be
prepared when traveling, especially to a

issues, but someone needs to talk about
them.
Poet and performance artist Bridget
Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's
History Month. Sponsored by Student
Residential Life, Gray will perform in
Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March
14.
Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not
afraid to tackle the issues in life that
others tend to avoid. Her signature
piece, "Shades of Gray," was released
in 2001, and her second CD, "Self
Love," will be issued this year.
Gray has won many poetry slam
competitions and has recently been the
host of a nationally syndicated radio
show called "Electric Moyo."
Her dynamic stage presence and
the relevance of her words will ~
surely make an entertaining evening for those who
attend the performance.

"Do a little research," said Medina,
because students must know the laws of
the country they plan to visit. STA Travel
offers package deals to students traveling
and is already booking for summer vacation.
Local all inclusive travel companies,
such as Summer Winter Action Tours
(S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group
tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T
events. They have trips to Mexico that
include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour
is for members only and gives a safe way
to travel in a large group. The company
has EMT's on site and corresponds with
the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

�Athletics director responds to Pride staff writer
Stephen Nichols offers a r ebuttal to Phoenix Lindgren s article
To the Editors of The Pride:
An article by Staff Writer
Phoenix Lindgren in last week's
issue of The Pride noted that
while students will be voting this
March on a proposed student fee
to expand our intercollegiate athletics program, they will not be
voting on a fee to support The
Pride.
A central focus of the article
is a search for some rationale for
this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes
values athletics more than the
newspaper? Or is it a bit of
revenge for The Pride's coverage
of the Michael Moore situation?
Was the fee proposal not good
enough? Don't people see how
much improved the paper would
be with twelve pages and color?
Who could object to only $2.50,
none of it going to salaries?
As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to
share my experienced in the long
process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as
I went through the process sheds
a lot of light on why my fee is on
the ballot, while the newspaper
fee is not. And not to give away
the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above.
When I took the position as
Athletics Director, my first task
was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite
a record of excellence that might
surprise you if you haven't been
following our golf, cross-country
and track teams ~ eight Far West
Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end
national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion
in the women's marathon - our
department was on the verge of
being shut down due to lack of
funding.
I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU
system and discovered that we
are the only campus in the entire
CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics!
At every other CSU campus - in
fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university
in the country - students pay a
set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements
that fee revenue, but no athletics
program exists on general fund
money alone, as we had been
trying to do.
So the problem was clear;
the solution, though, was not so
simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over
the summer shared something
else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft
moratorium" on campus-based
fees. What's a soft moratorium,
you ask? I had to ask, too - and
so began a series of conversations with some pretty important
people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development,
and Chris Canfield, the CSU's
Lead Budget Analyst.
QTT ONZOMV
Here's what I learned from
them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget
cuts to the campuses, individual
CSU schools might be too quick
to turn to campus-based student
fees to make up the difference.
Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by
imposing new campus fees; no
asking students to foot the bill for
things that were once funded by
other sources, because you worry
that those other funding sources
might be dry up.
This is where the " soft" part of
the fee moratorium comes into
play. The CSU recognizes that
not all proposals for new fees
will fall into the category just
described, and thus an absolute
ban on any and all fees is too
extreme. So the Chancellor's
Office will consider allowing a
new student fee under certain
circumstances - but the proposer
has to make the case for it.
That is exactly what I did with
the athletics fee proposal. I made
the case that we are the only CSU
in the system that does not have
an athletics fee - that this is a
standard fee, found at all CSUs
(and all public universities); we
just don't have it here because we
are a relatively new campus, and
our athletics program is newer
still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would
allow our fee to go forward.
The Pride finds itself in a very
yvirji
different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU
for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It
may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a
real disadvantage: not only is
such a fee not commonly found
throughout the CSU, the fact is
that almost nobody else does it
that way.
That being the case, I can tell
you, based on my own conversations with the people who make
these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would
have approved The Pride fee. A
novel, new fee that exists at very
few other campuses is simply
not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all
this, made the tough decision:
since there is no chance it will
be approved by the CSU, there is
no sense spending campus time,
money and energy campaigning
for it and voting on it.
So the fact that the newspaper
fee is not on the ballot has nothing
to do with anyone placing greater
value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus
The Pride" in any sense. Both
are good for this campus, and
just as campus life will benefit
from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports,
so too woujd it have been great
for the newspaper to be longer
talking
and in color. It has nothing to do
with Michael Moore; if you think
President Haynes is so petty and
vindictive as to operate that way,
you don't know her very well. It
has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of
the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very
good), and no, $2.50 is not too
much to ask. But none of that is
the point; rather, the point is that
the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly,
would have fallen victim to the
Chancellor's soft moratorium.
I'll conclude with a wish and a
hope. I wish someone had alerted
those who worked on The Pride
fee proposal of this reality long
ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee
proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone
go through it for naught.
And the hope? The athletics department is not even going
to apply for any funds from the
Instructionally Related Activity
fund this year (if the athletics fee
passes, we won't need it; if it fails,
the IRA funds won't save us). I
sincerely hope The Pride gets a
nice share of what we might have
gotten; twelve color pages would
be nice.
Sincerely,
Steve Nichols
Director of Athletics

This may seem like an extension
of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The
Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is
definitely a guilty pleasure.
If you have kids or a younger
sibling, you might be able to get
away with renting or buying this
movie without getting too much
slack from the cashier. The rest
of you may just have to wear dark
sunglasses and a scarf for fear of
recognition.
But the movie is just so funny
you can't help but giggle. Like
when Patrick asks the princess if
she wants to see his underwear. Or
when Spongebob gets killed off.
Wait. Did I just say that? Yes,
Spongebob does get killed off in
the movie. It might make all those

cial appearance in the movie and
once again saves the day, but a
little more comically than during
his Baywatch days. And I must say
he has the strongest pecks I have
ever seen.
The premise of the story involves
the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger
joint's success. He steals King
Neptune's crown and frames the
restaurant owner. Spongebob tries
to recover the crown so that he can
save his boss and prove that he is a
loyal employee.
The result is a comical adventure
that amuses both young and old.
The DVD is packed with a few
great features too. For animation
buffs, there are two featurettes
exploring the making of the movie,
including one that focuses on the
creator of Spongebob, Stephen
Hillenburg, and the writers of the
movie.
For Spongebob fans, there is an
extra short clip called "Case of the
Spongebob." You won't be seeing

It's just a lot of fun and laughs,

Richard
Move
and
What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed
up like a woman leaping across the stage?
Why pretending to be Martha Graham of
course!
The independent film, "Ghostlight,"
starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha
Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker.
Move plays the part of Martha, which in
itself is ironic because he is over six feet
tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he
towers over the other dancers, he delivers
his words of advice to them in a controlled,
alto voice, teaching them the moves as well
as infusing Martha's philosophies.
Time in the movie is non-linear; it
bounces backward and forward with fake
historical film clips to help the viewer gain
perspective into her life. Martha's famous
"I thought it was
inspiring,"-student
Katie Summers
friends, like the designer Halston, Liza
Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry
(who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie.
It is difficult to put a specific label on this
movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take
it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt
like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of
modern dance.
The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and
shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star
of the movie, Richard Move, introduced
the film and was available afterwards to
answer questions. He said that thefilmwas
started around 1998 and took four or five
years tofinish.He also stars in a live show
about Graham called, "Martha
that has
played in New York and has toured around
the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is
finally being represented by a body that is
able to live up to her stature."
"I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM
student Katie Summers. "I was really
amazed."
Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said,
"It teaches you about the arts and how the
creative process comes about."
There is a tradition that dictates that a
stage should never be completely dark after
a show, and that is why a single lightbulb
is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced
the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory
alive in the hearts of her fans.

�Seinfeld
Jonny Zero
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Until a few weeks ago, there was
no reason at all to stay home on a
Friday night watching television.
Now there's Franky G in Jonny
Zero.
Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just
released from prison after doing four
years for beating a guy to death. He
really wants to turn his life around
(no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his
world (which is, naturally, full of
drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard
for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda
guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit
job in a boxing gym, a high-paying
job with the same boss/crime lord
that helped him get into trouble in
the first place (only this time Jonny
is being forced to find some dirt on
the guy for the cops), and he moon-

lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood
with assorted problems, generally
caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos.
There's lots of opportunity for
moral dilemmas and chase scenes
involving his cherry muscle car~
a red and white Chevy SS—but all
that really matters is that Jonny has
plenty of opportunity to remove his
shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season.
Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the
1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all
their kooky and crazy adventures.
Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that
followed the lives of four friends in New York just living
out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell
in love with.
No matter how many times I've seen the same episode,
you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer
entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove.
Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo
Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander
(George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since
my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that
make this show my guilty pleasure.
And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD
you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me
because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld"
reruns.
Tour de France
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
It all started quite innocently six years ago.
Flipping through the
channels, I landed on the
Outdoor Life channel that
was covering the Tour
de France. Boring.. .but
wait.. .these guys are pretty
buff in their neon spandex!
I started watching and
next thing I knew I was
hooked.
For the next 21 days, I
was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words
like "maillot jaune" and
"peloton." I was fascinated
by the picturesque French
countryside rolling by and
the obligatory shot of the
local cathedral.
But it's not about the
scenery, it's about the
drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot
shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler
on drugs? Will Robin do
his comedy routine? Will
the cameraman give us a
good shot of a streaker?
I know I'm not alone in
my secret obsession, there
are many more out there.
You know those people
you see wearing Lance's
yellow rubber bracelets?
They'll tell you it's about
cancer awareness, but
don't let them kid you: they
x^ spend hours watching the
XTDF, too.
\ And we are all counting
down the days until July 2.

When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a
liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to
their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show.
I knew I was hooked from the beginning.
Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite
people forces them to trade families for two weeks.
For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are
allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live
by their rules.
When the rules change the drama begins. Children
resent being punished by someone other than their parents,
clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring
people have fun, and it's great.
At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited
and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to
tell someone to their face what they think of their family,
which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned.
There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity
to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the
people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from
a different perspective.

experiences of those effected
by the current conflict
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club offered
perspectives about the war from troops who
served in Iraq, on Wednesday, March 9 with an
event entitled "Boots on the Ground."
Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum
was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the
second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that
have been recently presented at CSUSM.
After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was
turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who
was thefirstspeaker to present his story.
Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives
given at the forum came from ground forces, air
and supply support forces, and even the view of
those left behind at home. The range of views
included those of different military service
branches and gender, with the panel evenly split
with two male and two female speakers.
The majority of the forum offered personal
stories of war and what life was like for soldiers
in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached
from political views and heated debate as the
speakers stood one by one and told their stories.
Aside from the human aspects of the war and
the intricacies of military life and sense of duty
that the speakers talked about, the forum also
revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those
in military service.

The free items were a great draw
and got people to learn about some of
the wellness-related services that the
organizations present at the fair provide.

this move is
not realistic given the
competitive
g uidelines
for admittance into this league
of prominent college level athletics.
The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State
San Marcos President, Karen
S. Haynesfirstyear. The article
from March 13, 2005 stated,
"When respondents (students)
clamored for more campus life,
she appointed the university's
first athletic director and asked
him to create more sports
teams."
This cooperation between
the Administration and the
Athletic Department outlines
their desire for sports teams at
Cal State San Marcos.
The decision to go forward
with sports teams brings many
questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision
is left up to the student voters
of Cal State San Marcos who
will decide if the Athletics Fee
Referendum is something they
want to support.
CSUSM does not qualify for
membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association
(NCAA) and participates in the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State
at the top. NAIA is one level
above community college

Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II

TROOPS, from page 1
The dominant message
expressed among panelists was
one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq.
"From my experience they
want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the
majority of the Iraqi populace.
Perhaps the most unique and
rarely heard perspective given
at the forum was that of Morgan
Copeland McCorkle whose
husband is currently serving in
Iraq. The life of an army wife,
McCorkle noted, was to not
only support the troops but also
to support their families and
spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far
McCorkle's husband has been
away on military duty for over
two years of their seven year
relationship.

and Student Health Services were
also on hand educating students

Other activities included a
stress relief room with punching
bags, a relaxation room and a tent
building contest sponsored by
Associated Students Inc. (ASI).
Throughout the event raffle
prizes donated by the various
participants were handed out to
the lucky winners.
Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the
event said she felt the Wellness
Fair and Expo went "fabulous."
"It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle
and learn from vendors," said
After the forum ended the
floor was briefly turned over to
the audience to ask questions.

According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty
and staff attended the four hour
event.
Romero said that, "more
people came out and there were
more donations and vendors,"
this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement
to the fact that this year wellness
activities are during the entire
month of March, while last year
there was only the Wellness Fair
and Expo event.
After the Wellness Fair and
Expo there was a massage room
set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the
Field House where free massages
were given. The Academy of
Professional Careers: School of
Massages donated 4 massage
chairs and 6 massage therapists
for the event.

"I was pleasantly surprised
how well-mannered the audience was," said Mitchell, who
moderated the question session.
A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a
number of students lined up to
shake hands with the speakers.
McCorkle said she felt the
forum was well attended given
the fact that it was slated during
the same time as the sex toy
workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse.
"I'm very proud of it (the
event and attendance)," said
McCorkle, who is also the
President of Phi Alpha Theta.
McCorkle said she was thankful for those military personnel
who joined her in the forum,
noting that she was "glad that
we can continue to put on these
events and students and faculty
are interested."

the NAIA competitions.
The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division
L
"An average of 15,000 fans
(that) show up to every game," is
one of the guidelines for NCAA
Division I said Kent Barrett,
Associate Director for Public
and Media Relations NCAA.
The lowest level of the NCAA
is Division III which offers no
scholarships. The long term
benefits ofjoining NCAA would
include scholarships and money
earned if Cal State San Marcos
does well in sports competitions.
Stephen Nichols, athletic
director, claims on the athletic department's web site that
sports team will "bring greater
recognition to, and awareness
of, our university. This will, in
turn, make your degree more
valuable."
There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds
that, the school should focus on
the academic future of Cal State
San Marcos and leave sports to
San Diego State.
The other view is the school
could use sports teams to
improve student life on campus.
Next week students will vote
on the proposed fee that will set
aside money specifically for the
Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State
San Marcos.
According to a letter to The
Pride, Nichols will not petition
for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA)
next semester regardless if the
proposed fee is passed or not.
This means intercollegiate
sports will end its funding from
Cal State San Marcos if students
vote against the fee increase, and
the 80 students that participate
in the non-spectator sports may
have to deal with the reality of
the end of intercollegiate sports
at Cal State San Marcos.
The Athletic Department
¡mum
now receives funding from the
IRA that ranges from $12,000
to $31,450 per semester. The
IRA is funded by students every
semester with a $5 fee and
divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State
San Marcos does not allow any
organization on campus to take
more than one third of the entire
amount.
At other CSU schools, like
San Diego State, the Athletic
Department gets almost the
entire sum of money. With their
$28 IRA fee versus the Cal State
San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego
State has more money to divide
up with fewer organizations
requesting it.
The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from
the CSU General Fund in the
amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to
be paid on top of the $296,000
expected if the fee proposal
passes.

The CSUSM police and Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(M.A.D.D.) have joined forces
for this upcoming St. Patrick's
Day in an effort to educate students on the dangers of underage
drinking and driving under the
influence (DUI).
This week from March 15 - 17
campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers
will partake in thefirstpart of a
two part DUI prevention program
by distributing literature to those
entering and exiting parking lots
throughout campus.
On the evening of St. Patrick's
Day, March 17, four officers will
patrol the campus specifically for
drivers under the influence, as
the second part of the DUI prevention program.

"Over 17,970 people die and

The prevention pamphlets to

Police Lt. Doug Miller.
As a member of the Student

this program - Lt. Miller said
he is using his past experience

from officers in the department,
to help educate our campus about

Women's Studies host sex toy workshop in hopes of helping students to become more comfortable with their sexuality
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Cyber bullets, cock rings and anal beads
were just a few items on display at the
annual Sex Toys Workshop, sponsored by
the Women's Studies organization at the
Clark Field House Wednesday, March 9.
Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic
lotions, potions and battery operated toys
to over 160 students.
Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex.
Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just
about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'—
this means getting tested for STD's and
HIV/AIDS every year."
A climax of giggles erupted when
Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim
our asses from our buttphobic culture."
Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty
or gay male activity."
Dacus introduced the audience to the
"prostrate massage" (the prostrate being
located two inches inside the male anal
cavity - toward the belly button, also
doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when
massaged during foreplay can produce the
equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm.
Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex
(whether performed on a man or woman)
are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more
Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in
conjunction with condoms.
After a brief demonstration, the audience was able to test, smell and taste each

of the products.
Katie Sammons, senior communications
major, smiling ten minutes after volunteering to test the Nipple Nibbler Cream,
giggled, "This is so much fun. It's such
a comfortable and open environment and
I'm still tingling."

�Super-savings from
gravy to detergent
Helpful tips to cut your grocery bill in half
BY CHRIS KING
Pride Staff Writer
Penny-pinching is a necessity
for many students, especially
those who are stuck with weekly
grocery bills. If you're interested
in saving some serious gravy,
the best advice would be to pick
up a Sunday paper and discover
what's nestled at the center.
Major supermarket chains such
as Vons and Albertson's double
the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those
with Catalina coupons - coupons
you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little
to nothing for otherwise pricey
items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent.
The combination of coupons
and weekly grocery ads are the
dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly
store advertised items; especially
those that are buy one get one
free.
Occasionally really hot buys
will be out of stock and when
this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with
the item's purchase limit - if any
- and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the
weeks to come.
Be aware of brands with many
similar items such as Tide. If
Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to
buy the exact detergent on the
coupon. Unless the coupon reads
'selected varieties', don't assume
the coupon will cover the Tide
you typically buy. You might get

lucky, but the for the most part it
won't work.
If you just don't have the time
to sift through the paper every
week the savings are still attainable for a reasonable fee.
There are a number websites
that provide services for as little
as $5.00 a month. Be wise when
choosing a website. Make sure
the site provides a list of free item
coupons as well as linking them
with ads.

Lastly, it is imperative that
you verify the savings on your
receipt. From time to time coupons won't double, checkers fail
to scan them, or the item comes
up at the wrong price.
Give coupon shopping some
deep thought. It can have some
lasting effects on your shopping
habits and allow you to actualize
the savings plan you've be yearning for so long.

The trouble is that Jason made

of the article was self-service,
while I was doing my damnedest
to keep my journalist's hat firmly
in place and write from as neutral a position as possible. Feedback from others on campus has,
thankfully, been more generous.
As to having color, I thought it
was unsubtly ironic, except that
it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian
Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice
coincidence, though.
As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I
can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee
request on the ballot. Would it
have killed you to simply write
in support of The Pride and
leave it at that? How nice that,
as a faculty member (or are you
staff?), you were able to do an
end-run around the student fee
process and start a dialog with
all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office. Do you sleep better
at night knowing that—whether
the students approve of your $40
fee or not-you have the Chancellor's blessing? Have you started
counting your money yet? Put

(this is the one that pays for The
Pride, athletics, and organizations on campus), and finally $6
for an academic records fee (after
literally hours of searching online for what each of our student
fees pays for, I never did uncover
the mystery of the ARF.) Several new or increased fees have
already passed during my six
semesters here, and we all know
that the "non-mandatory" parking permit fee and instructional
fees have sky-rocketed. That
said, I won't be voting in favor of
athletics. On the other hand, I've
pretty much read every issue of
The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have
voted in favor of a fee to help the
paper reach self-sufficiency—that
fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so
to speak, which would have paid
off later with good ad revenues,
while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff.
Lucky for Steve and Karen, it
seems the only students that vote
on the referenda are those who
have an interest in seeing them
pass; I predict an easy victory for
the athletics fee.
As for The Pride, maybe we'll
get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be.
God knows athletics won't ever

have to point out the little
things as well. What do I
classify as a "little thing?"
Simple: something that,
while not as important as
the points above, should
still be adhered to in the
publishing of a newspaper.
Firstly, for the love of
God, know your MLA.
Book titles are underlined,
not "put in quotes." Any
high school junior should
know this, so seeing it in
a college periodical is just
unprofessional.
Secondly, what business do
hyphens have in quotes?
Opening up to page eleven
of this week's issue and
seeing "'I thought it was
inspiring' - student Kate

in boldface type makes me
very sad.
I came to this school

school's newspaper with
fond memories. Having
two or three days to put a
paper together is no excuse
- that's life, baby. If the
final product is going to
be half-assed and full of
mindless babble (who cares
about Seinfeld anymore?),
then make this a bi-weekly
paper. If it means the
articles will be of better
quality, I'm all for it.
If that's too much to ask,

f x r > A I J J j l \ | j provide. The editors would like to take this opportunity to explain our processes and
how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation.
Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could
go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when
we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover
stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the
abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university.
That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an
editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution. If anything, at least send in your story ideas to pride@csusm.edu if you know of an
event coming up that is newsworthy.
After all, it is easy to call out the problems in something. It is difficult to do something about it.

Who needs college?
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Why did you go to college? What
are you going to do afterwards? Those
are questions most people don't ask
themselves too often in the middle of
a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary.
Being a history major, the question
always seems to arise of what I am
going to do after college. The problem
is that history is one of those subjects
that people love to disregard as much
ado about nothing. It happened to me
just the other day, I was talking to a
non-collegiate peer, and they asked
what I was majoring in at college.
When I said "history" the inevitable
"oh, what are you going to do with a
degree in that" came back at me. As
the conversation continued they asked
me if I was going to continue on after
my BA, which I said I was, and they
queried in what subject. "History"
again, with its partner spilling from
the mouth of the other as "oh, are you
going to be a teacher." This is about
the third time this year alone that I've
had a conversation along these lines
with someone outside of the college
atmosphere, and it never fails that the
person I'm having the conversation
with makes assumptions about my
future career or chosen major. And
eventually I'll simply be reminded
of how hard it is to get a job in my
chosen field.
It's the assumption that history is
one of those road to nowhere subjects
(at home with the arts, literature, and
similar subjects) that's bothersome.
The fact is I already know that it's
difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with
roughly 70 percent of employers in
the United States currently either
decreasing or at least not increasing
their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that
maybe it's just as difficult to find a
good job with any major, not just mine
- although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that
my history major could be used to get
a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in
film, or even business and the list can
go on with teaching just being one of
many options.
Of course, just because there is a
range of jobs I could do in my major
doesn't mean I'm any better off in the
arena of finding one. People assume
that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business
major, for example, and maybe that's
true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the
financial benefits later on, are not all I
went to college for. I went to college in
large part because I wanted to become
a more well rounded person, I wanted
to learn, and I wanted to associate
with similar individuals of like mind.
This is the factor people tend to forget
when I tell them about my major or
how that might lead to a job later on.
Maybe it's just me, but college would
be important even if I never succeeded
in making a cent from it.

�Johnny Carino's serves up
airline-quality fare
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Mama Mia! What a nightmare!
Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had
the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San
Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car,
we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic,
basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.
The hostess informed us that it would
be a fifteen minute wait, which was no
surprise since the place was packed with

out. After a quick ten minutes we were
seated at a quaint little booth and promptly
delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a
white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my
boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he
dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce
concocted by the waitress at the table.

After waiting twenty minutes, our
growling tummies were ready for a good
meal—not what ended up on our plates!
The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the
side), and the flavors sharply contrasted
with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The
salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even
compare to my boyfriend's.
His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two
weeks. The vegetables and potatoes
looked old and tired. In general, his meal
was comparable to something that would
be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home.
Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less
than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing,
in which case you'll love this misguided
chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Keg stand+ " Robots" g ood t echno-escapism
Shakespeare
= great theater
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
When Caesar and Antony do keg stands at
their party, you know this isn't your mother's
Shakespeare.
Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep
you from reading further, be assured that the
difficulty of his language need not keep you or
the unwashed masses from enjoying this show.
(And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please
feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It
may surprise you to learn that you already know
99 percent of the words used in the play (though
there are always a few that require footnotes.)
The thing with Shakespeare is how his words
are put together: musically if you're a learned
fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go
to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign"
language, and look to the actors, the staging, the
props, the music, and, every so often, the actual
words, to follow the story. On to the review:
The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best
Shakespearean acting company—have done it
again with their lively and relevant production
of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love
and war that opens with a stage full of writhing
bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones.
Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard

Robots, they aren't just for
nerds anymore.
With the release df the
new 20 Century Fox movie
"Robots" there is finally
proof that an animated movie
can actually make an adult
laugh. This techno-filled
extravaganza moves you to
the point of pure adulation as
you root for the underdog in
this extremely colorful CGI
world.
Rodney Copperbottom
(Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he
makes his way into the big
city to find Big Weld (Mel
Brooks), all hell breaks
loose. When in town he runs

Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard
King through costume and music choices.
Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust,
which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not
exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer).
These larger-than-life characters also make
"Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest
tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to
laugh before the bloodshed.
Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic
love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick
Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos
to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as
the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of
Roman discipline, and a character so opposed
to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that
their faces could serve as models for a pair of
comedy/drama masks.
While every player in this company is worth
seeing, two particularly excellent performances
were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and
Edwin Eigner as Lepidus.
"Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10
at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado
Canyon Road in San Diego. Visit www.poorplayers.com or call (619) 255-1401 for more

across the eccentric Fender
(Robin Williams) and they
are pushed into a world where
robots are being destroyed
left and right - and it's up to
Rodney to save the day.
Throughout the movie
Fender's comments, and
actions, will leave you with a
little smirk on your face - the
kind of smirk robot humor
brings to the table. While
there are a number of other
in-your-face-funny robots in
the movie, it's Fender (Robin
Williams mind you) whose
improv makes the movie
come alive, while Rodney's
quest keeps you in the story.
The little parts within the
movie - like clever wordplay,
and the contrast of subtle and
startling on screen action
- account for a lot of the

movie's laughs. The movie
sprints from the opening
scene and never stops; characters are always in motion
and interacting in a way that
is entertaining for everyone.
Don't be fooled by the PG
rating: "Robots" has some
great suggestive humor that
might fly over the heads
The Rock "Be Cool" the
others be lukewarm
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Sequels are usually not as good as the
original. This isn't engraved in stone
but just a guideline. Don't expect too
much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the
sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where
Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie
loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is
upset with the movie industry and turns
to the music industry.
But not expecting much isn't the
same as a movie built on other movies.
"Be Cool" has one obvious reference to
other movies after another. It was as if
the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list
of references to other movies and then
built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the
plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with
Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job
and Thurman danced simply to win.
So it's logical to incorporate a dance
sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But
after that, the sequence goes nowhere
and does nothing.
On with the plot: Tommy Athens
(James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets
murdered by the Russian mob. Chili
finishes his Athens' job of producing a
young and innocent singer named Linda
Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon
already has a manager Raji (Vince
Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick
Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record
label. Turns out Athens has a debt with
another music label owner, Sin LaSalle
(Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens'
wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has
to promote and produce Moon's debut
album while watching his back. There
are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler
of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc.
The Rock has the only performance
worth the screen time. We're used to
seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and
as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy
of little ones, but is easily
picked up by anyone thirteen
and older.
Next time school leaves
you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over
to the multi-plex, grab some
popcorn, and let "Robots"
make it all better... for 90
minutes anyway.

trying to be tough but in the end, he's
sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I
was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his
character in the wrestling world. The
reference was "The People's Eyebrow"
where he lifts up his eyebrow into an
arch.
Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's
more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take
their gold chains, their black suits, their
hummers, their guns, their one liners
and reflect the movie they made. It
might have seemed funny and poetic on
paper but onscreen it's totally different.
