Davis Signs Bill
Affecting CSUSM

California voters passed that
bond measure in November
2002.
By using a different source
of financial support and fee rev
enue bonds, Davis proposed the
funding to complete this proj
ect in a $651 million economic
-stimulus package, which gave
legislative approval to place
the education bond before the
voters. This would allow facil
ity construction to begin imme
diately and be completed eight
to 12 months earlier than previ
ously scheduled.
According to Russell
Decker, director of planning,
design, and construction for
CSUSM, work on the building
will begin immediately in the
affected departments.
Although administrators at
Cal State San Marcos may
have been ecstatic, some stu
dents felt more concerned than
delighted.
“I hoped that the commit
tee involved with the planning
would provide us with a formal
presentation that would inform
us about the future plans of this
college and how it would bene
fit its students and faculty,” said
Peter Ulatan, Service Sector
Management business major.
“I didn’t even know our campus
received that amount of money,
until I read The North County
Times.”
Likewise, Judy Brown,
HTM business major, added,

Students Tackle Colonialism and Revolt in Regional Competition
By VICTORIA B. SEGALL
For The Pride
When Ted Burgos-DeStephanis and Curt Eichperger wrote
research papers on the last Afri
can king and European colo
nialism in Haiti, ' respectively,
they probably didn’t think their
research papers would be read by
anyone other than their profes
sors. But the two history majors
made their marks in history this
past April, when they presented
those research papers to hun
dreds of college students and
professors from Southern Cali

The two took part in the

Marymount University, where
only 32 students from Southern
California universities were
chosen to present their papers.

“Colin Powell’s decision to

an audience composed of Cal

on Tuesday, April *30 at the
CSUSM-sponsored lecture at
the California Center for the

the lecture was approximately
$30,000.
After a brief introduction
from CSUSM president Alex

unimportance of global warm

�Hurdling Through the Pain

Jason E. Williams placed a
respectable second place in the
400-meter hurdle at the 74th
annual Mount Sac Invitational in
Walnut, California. Only the top
25 runners in the entire county
are invited to race on the second
day of (Sunday, April 21) this
American classic. His mark
of 52.5 was the fastest time of
any sophomore that competed.
“I didn’t do as well as I should
have; it’s still a good time but
not for me,” said Williams.
There is not an athlete in
history that has been absolutely
immune to the threat of being
hurt or injured. Unfortunately,
the same can be said for track
and field star Williams. Last
Saturday at the UCSD Open
Meet, Williams pulled a ham
string, which has been hurting
him for some time. “Its all part
of the sport; I was running very
fast and the weather was very
cold,” Williams said.
Williams trains at the San
Marcos High School gym and is
seeking assistance from a phys
ical therapist off-campus to ice
and perform ultrasounds treat
ments on his pulled hamstring.
“Just like the engine of a
car that shows signs of needing
to be fixed, my hamstring was
showing signs, and then my
engine finally blew out,” said
Williams. Nevertheless, this has
not stopped him from attending
practice to give moral support to
the rest of the team. “I have to
remain positive and not going to
quit even though I’m hurt.”
Williams still plans to
compete in the National Associ
ation of Intercollegiate Athletics
Nationals in Kansas at the end
of May. “I have worked too hard
to stop now,” Williams insists.

Algae,
photosynthetic
organisms that occur in most
habitats, are a plant species that
seem so small and insignifi
cant to our lives, but surpris
ingly have a huge effect on the
world’s ecosystem and econ
omy, according to Dr. Robert
Sheath, provost and vice pres
ident for Academic Affairs at
Cal State San Marcos. Sheath
gave a presentation entitled
“The Scum of the Earth: The
Good, Bad, and Ugly of Algae”
on Thursday as part of
CSUSM’s Arts & Lectures
series.
“Since I studied algae, I
became very interested in the
subject and my main goal of
the presentation was to allow
others to take on the same inter
est,” said Sheath. Many profes
sors from CSUSM attended the
lecture with an open mind to
learn more about its uses and
effects.
Sheath is an esteemed psy
chologist who obtained his
Ph.D. in Botany at the Univer
sity of Toronto in 1977. He has
served as dean, professor and
chair at numerous universities.
Sheath received the Darbaker
Prize from the Botanical Soci
ety of America in 1997 and
was nominated for the Teaching Excellence Award at the Uni
versity of Rhode Island. He is
also the editor of three books.

though the university is not
informing us with the proper

colonialism in Africa. “I took
a different view of the situa
tion,” said Burgos. “I focused
on the king and his thoughts and
actions, whereas people usually
take on the perspective of Euro
pean colonialism.”
King Lobengula Ndebele'
held the last three founding states,
according to Dr. Alyssa Gold
stein Sepinwall, a history profes
sor and adviser for CSUSM’s Phi
Alpha Theta chapter. “Ted tried
to examine the king’s relation
ship with the British people, and
did an impressive job of sum
marizing the literature on King
Lobengula, offering an interpre
tation of why he ultimately fell.”
Sepinwall approved and
selected Burgos and Eichperger’s
papers for the competition. Stu
dents who participated were free
to write on anything historical,
and papers that were selected for
theTcompetition were presented
at Loyola Marymount in a setup
similar to a professional histori
cal conference. “Except that it’s
for students,” said Burgos.
In his paper, “What to Do,
Where to Go? Decisions for the
White People of Santo Domingo
After the Insurrection of the
Blacks,” Eichperger delved into
the aftermath of the revolutions
against European colonizers in
Santo Domingo (the former name
of Haiti).
“He showed how one group
that had all this power and under
went all these transitions dealt
with losing power after the slaves
revolted and gained power,” said
Sepinwall. Eichperger had writ
ten the paper in Sepinwall’s His
tory 301 class last fall, in which
students focused on relations
between the U.S. and Haiti at the
end of the 18th century.
“Both papers were very well
researched and well written, and
they presented with a lot of
poise,” said Sepinwall.

�Beulah: The Coast
is Never Clear
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
Small shows seem to be the
most fun, and last Tuesday at The
Casbah, a local San Diego club,
was no exception when Beulah, a
San Francisco-based band, head
lined the show.
With
a
wall of black
diner-like seat
cushions
behind them,
which is used to keep the noise
low for the surrounding residen
tial neighborhood, Beulah began
with great enthusiasm. When
asked to describe the type of
music they play, Bill Swan, gui
tarist, trumpet player and one of
the singers of the band, said, “I
would definitely classify us as
rock n’ roll, but you’ll have to
make up your own mind on the
matter.”
The band is definitely the
Beatles of the 21st century, with
its upbeat rhythms mixed with
fun, sixties-like lyrics. But the
intense guitar overlay, synthe
sizer and the awesome trumpet
action make it feel like a defi
nite solid part of our generation hot to mention the hundred or so,
bouneing, lively, twenty-some
things that crowded the small
dance floor.
Despite the annoying feed
back that occurred a few times
during the show, the band gave
a spectacular performance and
kept everyone excited. When fin
ished, the band was encored and
played a few more songs, ending
at close to two in the morning,
a stan
dard at
t he
REVIEW
Casbah.
When asked how the band
started, Swan stated, “It was
actually an accident. It was a side
project that somehow worked.”
The band slowly came together
in the fall of 1997, but got off the
floor in 1999. Beulah has toured
the U.S., Europe and Canada and
is on a coast-to-coast tour of
the U.S. The tour, entitled “The
Coast is Never Clear,” started in
Denver, CO., sold out in L.A.,
and is ending on May 4 in its
hometown of San Francisco.
On April 16, Beulah made a
guest appearance on The Conan
O’Brien Show, a sign that they
are quickly moving their way
up. Beulah is a band that will
definitely leave its mark on the
music industry.
CSUSM Play Performed at Vista Playhouse
By MARTHA SARABIA
News Editor
“Dona Criba,”: a Cal State
San Marcos school play, which
premiered last December, was
performed at Vista’s AVO Play
house on Friday and Saturday.
What started as a school play
has now become a play for
the community of the North
County area, especially for the
Spanish speaking community.
Almost all of the actors
and actresses in this play are
CSUSM students who have
formed a theater group called
Dionysus. According to Carlos
von Son, CSUSM professor of
Spanish, the group decided to
name the group after the Greek
god, Dionysus, who was the
god of theater. Besides stu
dents whose first language is
Spanish, this theater group also
includes students whose first lan
guage is English, as well as other
languages.
Actresses of two of the tnain
characters expressed their enthu
siasm at being part of this play.
Lucinda Bernardino, a Liberal
Studies and Spanish major,
added, “We’re very happy to be
in this play with Mr. Von Son.”
Soledad Acuna, a Spanish major,
said, “I feel very proud, some
thing that makes me feel very
important even though I don’t
make anything financially. It is
something that makes me feel
proud; it’s going to be forever,
for me, for my family, and for the
rest of my descendants.”
Although the students are not
receiving any credit for doing
this, many are happy to just be a
part of it. Bernardino said, “It’s
been a great experience ... None
of us are getting any credi^for
school, none of us have been
forced to do it, we just do it
have Spanish entertainment,”
Bernardino said. Von Son also
said, “With the large population
of Spanish-speaking immigrants;
it’s really a need for this type of
event.”
Due to the interest of stu
dents in theater, von Son said,
“We’re in the process of draft-
A Scene from “
Dona Criba ”
Pride Photo/Martha Sarabia
because we like it a lot.” Acuna
added, “We really enjoy it.”
Von Son said, “I feel so proud
of my students. They have done
a beautiful job. They are volun
teering their time and so much
work and effort.” Both also said
that they never thought that after
performing “Dona Criba” for
CSUSM they would perform it
to the outside community. How
ever, von Son was asked to bring
this play to the community by
Vista’s AVO Playhouse.
“It’s also to contribute to
our own people who don’t really
Respected.
ing a proposal needed to offer
a Spanish theater minor. Hope
fully, one day we can have a
minor in theater in Spanish ... It
would be aligned with the goals
of the university, with our mis
sion statement. It would be a cel
ebration of diversity.”
About 130 and 145 people
went to see the play on Friday
and Saturday respectively. Dona
Criba, written by von Son, is
about the impact of technology
in a small town in Mexico, and
how this affects the lives of its
people.

�S top Com plaining and Look in the Mirror
By Erik Roper
For The Pride
This past semester, the stu
dents of Cal State San Marcos
elected me to be ASI Corporate
Secretary for next year. It was
highly encouraging to know that
out of the 6600+ students here at
CSUSM, there were at least 633
who thought I’d do a good job.
To those of you who voted, I say,
“much respect, and thank you for
supporting democracy (no doubt
it was all those people.with flags
on their cars down in the parking
lot.”) But that’s not why I’m writ
ing this piece.
After the election, one of
my colleagues, who also ran for
office, told me something that
made my jaw drop. Apparently,
there were more than a few stu
dents that had talked to this other
prospective student leader during
the campaigning period before
the election, about me, and said
that they didn’t want to see me
elected because they felt I rep
resented an undesirable element.
An undesirable element that they
felt there was already too much
of around here and that they
didn’t want to see more of on this
campus. My colleague told me
that some students who talked to
him felt that I seemed too radi
cally liberal, and they were also
worried that my election might
trigger a fundamental shift in the
political climate of the student
body. He said some students were
saying (with obvious dismay in
their voices) things like, “. . .next
thing you know this place is
going to be crazy and crawling
with student activists, like Berke
ley.” When I heard that, I had to
laugh.
Believe me; the last thing I
would ever want is for CSUSM
to turn into another Berkeley.
Just think about how horrible
that would be. Who wants to
be surrounded by a bunch of
socially conscious students dis
satisfied with the status quo who
passionately care about the world
they live in and who actually do
stuff to try and make it better?
Not me, that’s for sure. No really,
I’m serious, I think it’s so much
better that we are on a campus
that is the exact opposite. For
me, there’s nothing more amus
ing than to hear many o f my
fellow students bitch and moan
about how this place sucks so bad
and then watch the vast majority
of them do absolutely nothing
to try and make it better. You
know, lately the weather’s been
kind of chilly, but that’s no prob
lem because with all the hot
air that blows out of many stu
dents’ mouths, I can wear shorts
and T-shirts 24-7. But actually, I
shouldn’t be so hard on my fellow
students because sometimes, just
for kicks, I blow hot air myself.
For instance, I recently sent
an e-mail to the Inter-Club
Council(ICC) list-serve in which
I ripped on The Pride in brutal
fashion saying, “(The Pride) was
boring, lame, and worst of all,
highly irrelevant.” This statement
angered some people, especially
in light of the fact that, at the
time, I’d done absolutely nothing
this semester to try and make
The Pride better. Since then
I’ve talked with one of the edi
tors, become educated about the
myriad of difficulties faced by
publishing a student paper (one
of the biggest problems being
that they simply just need more
quality student input), commit
ted myself to submitting pieces
to The Pride, and began urging
those I know to do likewise. So, I
guess you could say I’ve learned
a lesson. The lesson being (how
ever cliche) that action speaks
louder (and is a helluva lot more
effective) than words.
A wise person once said,
“Accepting the absurdity of
everything around us is one step,
a necessary experience: it should
not become a dead end. It arouses
a revolt that can become fruit
ful.” In other words, if you see
something around CSUSM that’s
wrong, stupid, inefficient, or just
plain sucks, don’t just complain
about it, DO SOMETHING. It
seems that in our society (and
especially here at CSUSM) a
majority of us have bought into
the notion that we are passive
powerless victims who have to
accept whatever THEY have in
store for us, as if our lives were
meant to be lived as nothing more
than mindless, easily-manipu
lated consumers who have no
choice but to take whatever it
is THEY’re shovelin’. Mindless
Passive Powerless Easily-Manip
ulated Victim Consumers - Is
that how you see yourself? One
of these days I’m going to make
myself a t-shirt that says, “YOU
ARE THEY.”
I often hear fellow students
(and I’ve been guilty of this
myself) saying, “THEY should
offer better food in the Dome.”
or “THEY should provide us with
more fun activities/events on
campus.” or “THEY should make
this place more colorful.” or “The
Pride sucks; THEY should make
it cooler.” or “THEY shouldn’t
make our social security num
bers be our student ID numbers.”
or “THEY should ________ (fill
in the blank).” Wow! THEY sure
seem to have a lot of responsi
bilities. Maybe the reason THEY
weren’t able to attend to all these
suggestions is because THEY
were busy with all their other
obligations. In the meantime,
what were you doing?
Yeah, I know the story;
you’ve got a family, a job, your
sanity to maintain, and somehow
you still have to make time to
get some of this school nonsense
done. So, you ask, “When would
I possibly have time to do some
thing about these things I see that
need changing?” I don’t know.
That’s something you’re going
to have to answer for yourself.
What I can tell you is that you’re
not powerless and you don’t have
to settle for the status quo if
you don’t want to. Another wise
person said, “Sentiment without
action is the ruin of the soul.”
Think The Pride sucks? Start
contributing to the publication.
Think the food in the Dome
sucks? Go talk to the manager
Melanie and ask her what you
have to do to get some changes
rolling. Think there should be
more cool events for students on
campus? Go talk to the people
in SRL and ASI and ask how
you can help out (What do you
REALLY think about the new
logo THEY’re proposing to adopt
without student input). Think
CSUSM shouldn’t use your SSN
as your student ID number? Go
ask someone in the admissions
office (right next to the rectangle
of trees in Founders’ Plaza) for
the form you have to fill out to
get a new and improved, random,
computer-generated student ID
number, which should take you
all of five minutes. Think smok
ers shouldn’t smoke in the U-Hall
stairwell? Go talk to facilities and
ask if they’ll move the ashtrays
and put up no smoking signs in
the stairwell, and if they refuse
you might consider getting a peti
tion started or getting the sup
port of the student health center.
No one student can fix every
thing that needs fixin’ here at
CSUSM. There are a handful of
students around here who try.
But the sad truth of the matter is
that we won’t accomplish much
unless more students contribute.
Every time you complain but
don’t do anything to try and make
whatever it is you’re complaining
about better, not only are you not
helping, but you’re actually part
of the problem. If you want -to
be even more honest with your
self, you’ll realize that every time
you say, “THEY suck . . with
out any action, what you’re really
saying is that, “I suck . . . ”
because we all have the power
to change the world we live in
(especially here in the CSUSM
microcosm). So, next time you
feel like going off on one of those

Inside The Mind of a Conservationist, Clarity While Surfing
By Ray Hines
For The Pride
The environment has a finite
amount to give to support life.
The same water that I surfed in
this morning could have been
the water that Cleopatra bathed
in centuries ago. I believe I am
connected to all other things on
Earth because I am made up of
the same substances. Very few
elements make up a living being,
and the fact that we consider the
living to have power oyer the
non-living assumes that we are
more important. That assump
tion couldn’t be further from the
truth.
All living, or biotic, compo
nents of this planet depend on
the non-living, or abiotic, com
ponents to provide vitamins and
minerals to sustain life. I think
of the wolves walking around in
Northern Minnesota looking for
a place to deliver their spring
pups deserve the same right to
a home as a Seattle e-commerce
executive. I feel my role on this
planet is to do as little harm as
I can to my living counterparts
and try to use as little of my
non-living counterparts as le a n
to ensure future generations the
same necessities. I also feel that
mankind is an important and
exceptional creature. We have
the capacity and intelligence to
destroy and create. I think it is
man’s job to figure out how to
become self-sufficient and in this
day of technology and organi
zation, this ability is going to
come through hardship and force.
I have confidence that man can
procure his own future, but he
has to be willing to accept the
responsibility and challenge of
doing so.
Living things can either
defend themselves or they cannot.
As it says in the Bible, “What
you do to the least of your broth
ers that you do unto me.” It is
linked to the Native American
belief, “Mother Earth, Sister Sky,
Brother Eagle, and Father Moon.”
Each of these things is considered
whole and by giving them names,
we have given them recognition.
This relates to both relationships
between people and relationships
between things, I have studied a
lot of science, and it even falls
true in chemical reactions, there
is always a factor that is limiting
and that key factor decides the
fate of the overall reaction.
I take time to think of ways
to behave in an environmentally
friendly way. I carry a Vi liter
water bottle and fill it as many
as eight times a day. This assures
me that I am drinking enough
water as well as reducing eight
cups worth of litter from the land
fill or eight containers worth of
recycling. I drink water because
it is easiest for my body to digest.
Also, it can be consumed with
out much packaging, commer
cials, or excessive transportation.
I know it’s just water we’re talk
ing about, but a lot of thought
can go into such a simple thing.
I try to buy nature-friendly, wellbuilt products (even if they cost
a little more) to comply with the
“reduce, reuse, recycle” strategy.
Quality products last longer (or
stay out of the landfill longer,
however you look at it) and need
to be replaced less.
I have taken* several courses
in the past few semesters that
are related directly to environ
mental studies. I have looked for
ward to political science courses
to help me (a biology student)
understand how our government
policies are formed. Also, I have
taken voting very seriously since
I turned 18. I try to research
thoroughly before I vote. I have
become a member of KPBS
public radio and listen daily in
an effort to stay in tune with
what is going on politically in my
world. I don’t really like the cur
rent political system, but I under
stand nothing is easy when a lot
of people are involved and that
allows me to have patience and
hope for our future.
I don’t watch television at
home. I have a VCR that I use
to watch videos and documenta
ries I can get from the library
on topics I am interested,in. I
haven’t watched regular TV or
cable for over 10 years on a reg
ular basis. This has allowed me
more time to be outside, enjoying
the planet that I try to consider
in my daily actions. It gives my
friends and I time to enjoy each
other and discover our many tal
ents, namely playing music and
sports. I think it is important
to know that you are a special
person and to recognize why you
are that way. When it rains and
runoff pollutes the ocean where I
surf, it affects my whole person.
When I hear about some environ
mental catastrophe somewhere
that too leaves me unsettled.
I feel like we are all con
nected, so a problem in one
geographic location doesn’t just
affect the people there, it affects
everybody. I, too, affect the envi
ronment with everything I do.
I breathe out carbon dioxide. I
eat of the biomass that makes
up resources for other, more effi
cient animals. I am a poor heat
conserver. I have to eat from a
higher tropic level to gain energy
to keep myself warm. I drive a
car like everyone else, and our
exhaust emits tons of pollutants
into the air. I demand light when
it’s dark outside, burning coal
for my electricity. I buy things
that come in non-renewable, nondegradable packaging because
they “just come that way.” I flush
my self-generated waste down
the toilet and off to some energy
intensive treatment plant before
it ends up in the very water I
am swimming in. I can’t think of
very many things I do that don’t
affect the environment, except
perhaps sitting in a quiet place
and enjoying it.
I traded my gas guzzling,
machine-oriented sports in for
nature friendly ones. I used to
dirt bike, water-ski, snowmobile,
street bike, and those sorts of
things, but now I cross-country
ski, snowboard, bicycle, kayak,
windsurf, sail, and surf for excite
ment. I also teach adults to sail
and windsurf. In my lectures, I
point out the environmental ben
efits of them choosing a winddriven sport for their recreation.
I encourage them to turn other
people on to the sport and request
that they all complete a Cal Boat
ing test. This test is actually a
way of sending a message to Sac
ramento that people in Southern
California are concerned about
their safety and the condition of
their bays and waterways. Each
time a test is sent to the capitol,
to the Department of Boating
and Waterways, it says one more
person is concerned. I feel that
these small changes in myself
and the way that my position as
a teacher can influence people’s
decisions has helped to better the
environment in some small way.
Just a thought...

�When in Dome, Recycle as the Domans Do
By RICHIE MANN
For The Pride
I’m a concerned student who
eats in the Dome, where you eat,
respect others and (hopefully)
recycle your soda cans,' plastic
bottles, glass bottles, and news
papers. You can help yourself, the
environment, and me. You can
save energy, produce money, and
reduce the trash that is dumped
into our landfills. Your con
science has been nagging you:
“Environment, environment, I
know there’s some kind of crisis.
What can I do?” Start here, where
you eat.
Here are a few suggestions:
How many napkins do you
need? A big pile or one? When
you take a pile, they fall on the
floor and then are disposed of,
unused. Also, in the Dome’s out
side area, the wind blows the
unused napkins all over, making
an unsightly mess - not a fun
place for you and your guests to
dine. What a waste of money and
of the trees that the napkins are
made from. What can you do?
Take ONE napkin.
Yes, you can recycle, right
here. We are fortunate that Cal
State San Marcos has placed
recycling containers inside and
outside the Dome, within easy
reach. It’s convenient to put your
aluminum cans and plastic bot
tles, glass bottles and your news
papers (or almost any kind of half-eaten tuna sandwich or your

to the recent debate over cig

ing, “You don’t racially profile,
of course, unless someone with a
beard and turban happens to be
standing near you at an airport.”
Safire had begun his lecture
with less incendiary topics, dis
cussing his history as a lexicog
rapher and his 20-year stint as
a Times columnist, relating per
sonal anecdotes about his rela
tionships with Barbara Walters,
President Bush, Rice, Sharon and
Powell.
He then spent a good part of
his lecture ruminating about the
state of the nation and the Middle
East after September 11. “What’s
developing now is the president
deciding that he’s got to do some
thing to work with the Saudis
and get them to moderate Arafat,
as he would moderate Sharon.

Sharon is being made out to look
like a monster,” Safire said, “but
he’s trying to make a deal. Most
Americans say, well, if someone
attacks you, you attack back. The
same goes for Israel. The general
feeling is that the Palestinians are
under attack by Israel, but that’s
only what we see here.”
An audience member asked
Safire if the public’will support
placing troops without a “real”
declaration of war. Safire said,

ently out. There hasn’t been one
since World War II. I ’m with you
- we should ask for a declaration
of war before going into Iraq to
do what we did in Germany and
Japan - to introduce democracy
to Iraq. Who knows what might
happen?”
In addition to discussing the
ongoing tension in the Middle
East, Safire openly acknowledged
the need to attend to domestic
policy as well. “Who knew his
[Bush’s] presidency would be a
foreign-policy presidency?” he
said. “We have a president who
came in relatively uninformed
about foreign policy. [Bush] is a
president who’s becoming inun
dated with info from his capital.
The best thing is that he has not
resented that he is being coun
seled by people smarter than he
is.”

pages of the New York Times.
