"Remembering the Holocaust is an extremely important thing. It is not just a JewT

said Wendy Bryer, the program director for this event.
Though the Holocaust
ended 70 years ago, organizers say that the pain and
scars left behind on the
world remain fresh in the
minds of millions of people.
"There are only a few years
left to hear these important
first-hand accounts and we
believe it is important to
bring Fanny's story to our

if you have heard a Holocaust
Survivor's story, every story
is different and it is our duty
as humans to listen, remember and say never again."
Attending this event will
help educate students as

respects to those who survived the Holocaust. In order
to commemorate the history
and experiences of Holocaust survivors, students
and community members
are encouraged to attend
this free event on April 22.
Red Flag Campaign calls for the end of sexual violence on campuses
CSUSM organizations sponsor awareness month through a variety of events
B Y JASMINE D EMERS
NEWS EDITOR
CSUSM organizations are
currently hosting a campaign
in order to end dating and
sexual violence as well as
to promote empowerment
through peer intervention.
The Red Flag Campaign
began on April 13 at CSUSM,
in honor of Sexual Assault
Awareness Month, and it
advocates against sexual
violence and dating violence
on college campuses across
the country. CSUSM is one
of nearly 250 college campuses that are participating in
this
public
awareness
campaign.
Sponsored by Student Affairs Departments such as
ATOD, ASI, Civility, the
H.O.P.E. and Wellness Center, Student Health & Counseling Services, SLL and
Residence Education, the
Red Flag Campaign had its
first official launch in October
of 2007 on just 18 campuses.
According to an announcement sent out to Student Affairs at CSUSM, "This social

marketing campaign was
created to promote a 'bystander intervention' strategy, encouraging friends and
other campus community
members to 'say/do something' when they see warning
signs ("red flags") for sexual/
dating violence in their own
or a friend's relationship."
Redflagshave been placed
and displayed all across
the campus along with a
series of eight posters that
reflect themes such as co-
ercion, emotional abuse,
sexual
assault, victimblaming, excessive jealousy, isolation and stalking.
"[There] will be a series
of eight posters displayed
across campus that illustrate
"red flags" that might be present in a relationship in which
dating violence is happening," said the announcement.
These campaign posters
represent a diverse amount
of people in different kinds
of relationships, whether
that be heterosexual or homosexual. According to the
Red Flag Campaign website, one in five college dating relationships are violent
and abusive, and one in
four women are the victims
of rape or attempted rape.
42 percent of those victims
didn't tell anyone about their
assault and only five percent reported it to the police.
Surrounding this campaign, CSUSM organizations
are hosting several events

Also, the annual "Take

is a worldwide effort to end
all forms of sexual violence
and it is recognized in over
30 countries. Take Back the

activities that are centered
around the issues of sexual

Abrahán Monzón facilitated a discussion about triggers, which they defined as

Palliative Care campaign asks students, 'What Gives Your Life Meaning?'
B Y J ASMINE D E M E R S
NEWS EDITOR
The California State University (CSU) Institute for
Palliative Care recently
launched a new campaign
that will explore the importance of end-of-life
care and educate students
on issues that may affect
themselves or their family members in the future.
The What Gives Your Life
Meaning? (WGYLM) campaign is a way to educate students, as well, as community
members, about the impact
that palliative care make on
a person's life. The campaign
was officially launched on
April 14 with the first event
of the series, an educational
session and lecture given
by Dr. Katherine Pettus, an
Advocacy Officer for the
International Association for
Hospice and Palliative Care.
"Palliative Care is a multidisciplinary team approach
and it deals with addressing the pain and symptoms
of life limiting illness, but
it does not attempt to cure.
It's about managing all aspects of pain and symptoms
including physical, social,
emotional, spiritual and exis-
tential pain," said Dr. Pettus.
The Palliative Care approach is centered around
the comfort of a patient
who is diagnosed with a
life threatening condition
and follows the patient, as
well as their family, through
the course of the illness.
"What makes Palliative
Care distinct from the usual
biomedical model is that the
unit of care is both the patient and family as well as
the palliative care team. So,
it creates an extra layer of
care through life- limiting
and life threatening illness,"
said Dr. Pettus. "Palliative

care manages and accompanies patients and their
families through the complexity of these illnesses."
During her presentation,
Dr. Pettus discussed the
importance of having conversations about death and
creating a relationship with
a patient so that they can experience as little pain as possible throughout their illness .
"Most Americans say that
they want to die at home,
with their family and in
comfort, and yet only 24

than 65 die at home. 63

This is the gap that palliative care is trying to bridge."

Does being gay in sports matter? Full disclaimer: it shouldn't!
B Y KATELYNN R ISE
STAFF WRITER
Imagine yourself watching your favorite sports
team on television. There
are just seconds left in the
game and you are one point
away from winning it all.
You get the pleasurable
feeling of screaming at the
TV screen while watching your team make its
way to victory. When the
final point is made, you
jump up and down celebrating the team's hard
work and accomplishments.
The MVP is named and
everyone rallies around
the person in celebration.
But when the MVP of the
game is named, should it
matter if the MVP of your
winning (or even your losing) team is homosexual?
Michael Sam could have
been one of these players.
Sam became the first openly
gay player to tie drafted into
the NFL in 2014 and was a
defensive end for the St. Louis Rams until the final roster
needed to be finalized, and
Sam was cut from the team.
Many people believe
that his sexuality was the
reason for his dismissal
from the team's roster.
Unfortunately, sexuality
is effecting who gets recognition for their hard work
and their athletic abilities.
Thankfully for the lovely
media in America, Michael Sam's coming out
was made into a much bigger deal than it should have
been. Sam's face, his name
and his sexuality were all
over ESPN and the internet.
Instead of focusing on
this young man's potential
as a football player in the
NFL, they decided to focus
on how a gay man would
shower with a team full
of men that were heterosexual (as far as we know).
Since when does a man
taking a shower have to do
with anything relevant to
the game of football, or any
other sport for that matter? Oh right, it doesn't.
This is not going to be
the last time that an athlete
will identify themselves
as gay, and sadly this will
not be the last time that an
openly gay athlete gets their
reputation or their career
put in jeopardy because of
homophobic
tendencies.
What needs to be learned
from Michael Sam's story
is that it is not your sexual orientation that defines
you, but rather what you
do that makes you the kind
of person that people will
look up to and admire.
Sam's sexuality off the
field was being brought
into his world on the field,
causing an unacceptable
amount of intolerance and
judgment to his career.
His talent, hard work and
dedication were overlooked
simply because of the type
of people he found attractive.
Michael Sam's story is not
all bad though. He was recently nominated as one of
GQ's Men of the Year Award,
won an Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2014 EPSY
Awards and was afinalistfor
Sportsman of the Year Award.
So does being gay in the
world of sports matter? No!
Because being gay doesn't
make you less of an athlete.
If an athlete is talented, dedicated and ready
to give his or her all for
their team, their sexuality does not matter in sports.

Coach Greg Hutton, who
is the coach of the men's
and women's golf teams
at CSUSM, has both assisted individual students
on the golf course and
helped the Cougar golf
team advance through the
ranks of college golf teams
in his five years as coach.
"[I like golf] because it is
a sport that you can play all
of your life," Coach Hutton
said. "People are still able to
play the sport even at 80."
^
Coach Hutton first got into
golf as a kid, when his parents taught him to play the
sport. He continued to play
golf as he grew up, but didn't
consider coaching Cougar
golf until the campus athletic
director asked him to coach
the men's golf team in 2010.
Under the guidance of
Coach Hutton, the men's golf

"What I look for in my

golf teams is commitment,
dedication and the ability
to give 100 percent on the
course," Coach Hutton said.
Most recently, Coach Hutton and the golf team attended the Hanny Stanislaus
Invitational, which took
place April 14, and placed in
second. The next tournament
for the golf team will be the
A.I.I Conference Championship, which will take

Shedding over 80 pounds
in five months is no small
feat. Yet, Nick Hardwick,
the retired San Diego Chargers center, has done just that.
The former football player
began his weight loss project
in 2014 upon his exit from the
NFL after suffering a neck
injury. During his 11 year
career, Hardwick weighed
around 295 pounds. As a
center, Hardwick used his
weight to push the defensive
players back and protect his
quarterback Philip Rivers.
At his Feb. 3 retirement ceremony, Hardwick
stood before the press at
208 pounds down from
293 pounds, according to
a tweet by UT San Diego
writer Michael Gehlken.
Hardwick's focus on
a healthy life was all but
confirmed when he stood
before the media with this
new slimmed down frame.
On his Instagram account,
Hardwick stamps himself as
a "fitness junkie" and "health
nut." Hardwick's various
social media platforms consistently highlight his wife
and children, but now they
detail his journey to health
through food and fitness.
He
shares
workouts
which are perfect for college students. These workouts are quick and hardhitting. They can be done
in 20 minutes or less, and
with minimal equipment.
The most unique part
about the following workout is that Hardwick
did it in skinny jeans.
When questioned by a
fellow Instagram user on
why he was wearing jeans,
Hardwick responded that
he was "just proving that
you can do this workout
anywhere. In any attire."
One minute of
each of the following (no
rest between exercises). Do
as many as possible within
the time frame. Rest 30
seconds after cycle is completed. Repeat 2 to 5 times.
Jumping Jacks
Squats
Lunges
Mountain climbers
Push ups
If Nick Hardwick can do
five rounds of this workout in
skinny jeans, it is not wild to
think it is an attainable workout for any college student.

SPORTS EDITOR
Negative stigmas are all
around whether we like to
acknowledge them or not
- too many to name and
that's a shame of its own.
One we can point out, however, is how physical training is viewed. A common
misperception is that when
you get a physical trainer,
you will only be rewarded
with a glowing physical
stature. Fortunately, that is
not all that working with a
physical trainer can provide.
With finals vastly approaching, stress is piling
higher than the garbage at
a large family get together.
How can you help banish
said stress? Mayo Clinic
indicates exercise can very
well help manage stress.
Don't know where to start,
no problem. Physical trainers are surely available to
help get the wheels rolling.
"Our PT (physical training) program strives for optimal fitness for everyone
and all body types," Fitness
and Operations Supervisor, Jordan Friske, said.
Here at CSUSM everyone
and all body types are available for PT, so believing you
are toofitor notfitenough for
physical training will only
prevent you from receiving
the benefits that await you.
"With a personal trainer a
client can take a step in the
right direction to exercising smarter and becoming a
healthier person," Personal
Trainer, Brendyn Heath, said.
Aside from easing up stress,
exercising with a personal
trainer can help you become
a healthier person. Good
health is vital for college
students, so doing what you
can while attending college
to help promote good health
would not be a bad idea.
"There are a lot of negative stigmas in our society that we are trying to
work through," Friske said.
Friske is adamant about
dispelling these stigmas
attached to PT and said
that utilizing the trainers that CSUSM provides will help with that.
So, do not worry about
your appearance before
giving it a try, because
only benefits await you.

Chelsea Brown leads through advocacy
Student leader commits to making positive impact on the world
B Y JASMINE DEMERS
NEWS EDITOR
Chelsea Brown is a dedicated student leader on
campus who has turned
her personal hardship into
fuel towards helping others
and advocating for change.
Brown is currently a thirdyear Political Science major
at CSUSM, and she identifies
as a Transgender Woman.
Throughout her college career, Brown has made an effort to be involved in campus
organizations such as A SI,
The Gender Equity Center
and the LGBTQA Pride
Center as a Peer Educator.
The Northern California
native is also hoping to spread
her activism throughout the
community by working with
outside organizations such
as the Vista Community
Clinic and the San Diego
LGTBQ Resource Centers.
By working as a Peer Educator on campus, Brown said
she aims to transform the
campus climate and make a
positive impact on students.
"Working with these organizations has given me
the opportunity to not only
grow as a person, but also
grow in a way that allows
me to be a better advocate
for not only what I believe
in, but for what is fundamentally right," she said.
"I've always been someone
who tends to fight for rights
of the marginalized, and
so being in the spaces and
working with these organizations has given me a way
to reach a larger audience
at a more effective level."
Brown holds a passion for
representing a larger group
of individuals who experience injustice every day.
She is proud of the commitment that she has for helping others and her ability to
treat everyone as her equal.
"I reflect a lot on where I
am now, how I got here and
the things I've had to overcome. I've beaten 12 years
of depression. I survived my
numerous suicide attempts.
I 've battled through years of
self-loathing and self-hatred
because I wasn't comfortable being who I was. And
now I 'm here. I've survived.
I 'm about to graduate college; I 'm about to live a
life of advocacy and empowerment. And that means
something to me on a deeply
personal level," Brown said.
Brown said that she has
had to experience some
hardship that only motivated her to push forward
and continue her fight so
that she could also support
other individuals who have
had the same experiences.
"Some of the hardships
I've had to face on this campus are mainly in regards to
my status as a transgender
woman. Now I 'm sure that
many of my classmates will
see this article, and it will
out me to them. But I 'm actually okay with that," she
said. "The problem I've run
into before is how do I address this with professors
and other faculty members,
especially since they may
not really be used to the
idea of having a transgender student in their class."
Brown said that she aims to
make an impact at CSUSM
by making a commitment
to inform the community of
these issues, and making it so
that future Trans* identified
students feel comfortable and
accepted by policy enacted
by campus administration.
Some of the issues that
Brown referred to are policies regarding name changes for Trans* students and
using the preferred name
and gender in place of the
legal name. She also discusses issues regarding the
need for more gender-neutral bathrooms on campus.
While discussing her future
goals, Brown said she hopes
to go into the field of Journalism and Public Policy.
"In terms of future goals,
more than anything, I want to
be a writer and a journalist.
I want to take the passions
and stories of people from
around the world and make
them into something even
more beautiful: a shared, uni-

versal experience," Brown
said. "At some point in my
life as well, I 'd like to get
into issues of public policy,
specifically, I 'd like to work
as the U.S. Ambassador to
the United Nations. But, I
might just settle for White
House Press Secretary!"
Brown's ambitions and
inspirational attitude has already made a long lasting
impact on CSUSM and will
furthermore continue to influence the rest of the world.
"I think as people, we tend
to get wrapped up in the dra-
ma and worries of everyday
life, and as a result, we lose
sight of what's really important in my opinion, and that's
helping others and being
good humans," she said. "We
all live here on this earth together. It is only due to society and her constructs that
poverty, war and other issues
persist in our lives. The ability to end poverty and other
issues begins when one realizes that it is a natural right
of humans to survive and
thrive freely and openly in
our fleeting existences."

that attending CSUF was
the right program for them.
During graduate school,
Monzón's accomplishments
included an assistantship,
an internship with CSUF's
Diversity Initiatives and
Resource Centers, working
with TCAMP, completing
one semester at a cultural
center at a small liberal arts
college and being awarded
the Edwin Carr Fellowship.
Monzón's enthusiasm for
working at CSUSM stems
from a desire for empowering students and the campus' welcoming atmosphere.
"I really wanted to work at
a cultural center or resource
center, but when I saw this
position I never thought that
I would get it," they said.
"Being a first generation
college and grad school student, getting a job was such
a pressure to show my family that school was worth it."
"A big thing with job interviews on-campus is that
I always had to negotiate
how I would represent my
identity," Monzón said. "If
I could not be genuine to
my genderqueerness, it was
not going to fit. But I came
to my interview at CSUSM
with full face and suit, and
when I got the call for the
job, I was ecstatic. It was
important to me not to go
to an established center
but go somewhere where I
could create programming."
Monzon has enjoyed their
first semester at CSUSM
thus far and is optimistic
about how the ASI Community Centers will change
in the next few years.
"It is a combination of
working with passionate
folks about creating a better campus for themselves
and bringing a different set
of eyes and thinking about
gender, sexuality, program-
ming and ideas for what
is to come," Monzon said.
"The campus is supportive and being in a growing place like CSUSM, it
is a time when I see some
big changes to come."
Monzon credits much
of what they have learned
and gone on to accomplish
to their professional family, which includes the
Masters in Higher Education faculty at CSU Fullerton, their mentors and Dr.
Joy Hoffman (Dr. Mom).

Rodger D'Andreas-Wahl advocates owning one's sexuality
BY SHANICE DAVIS
ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Born in a small town in
South Texas, former founding Director of the LGBTQA
Pride Center on campus,
Rodger D'Andreas-Wahl,
admits that he knew the
small town life of settling
down and having a wife and
kids was not for him. Instead he took the high road
and paved his own way.
Wahl began his college
career as an Opera major
at Southwest Texas State,
before transferring and receiving his Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the
University of Texas at Austin. Afterwards, he obtained
his Master's in Counseling

The perfect fairytale of living happily ever after with one
person is simply not his style.
"For some people that
works great; I can't even
imagine having to be with
one person for the rest
of my life," Wahl said.
As for the advances
made towards the LGBTGA community, Wahl
said they're good but much
work still needs to be done.
"The advances are important, they're necessary and
they save lives," he said.
"When people see themselves

the front of classrooms and
civil rights are being given
to them that are dued to

it helps people understand

that other people deserve."
As a final point, Wahl
has advice for everyone.
"Be you, but make sure you
have a support system to help

He also had advice for allies

"Continue to educate yourself and don't make it about

Kia Washington takes a stand for gender, sexuality and rights for all
BY SHANICE DAVIS
ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Junior, Kia Washington,
is a Peer Educator at the
LGBTQA Pride Center,
who cites the community
as her strength and support system to be herself.
"My passion and energy
for the Pride Center comes
from the courage that the
community there gave me to
come out as queer," she said.
It was the acceptance
she found in this environment
that
encouraged her to help others.
"I knew that no matter
what, there would be people there for me, and I want
to continue creating that
environment for others. I
want to be one of the leaders to pass that experience
and passion on to all students who come into contact
with us," Washington said.
As a Peer Educator, Washington puts on many events;
one of her first solo events
was a Queer Discussion
called "50 Shades of Correction," an event in which
participants discussed the
dangerous inaccuracies of
BDSM portrayed in Fifty
Shades of Grey. In addition to that, the Pride Center frequently holds Nights
Out, which are nights when
students can play games
and watch film screenings.
As this month is GAYpril,
the Pride Center is putting
on some upcoming events

queer with white passing

privilege and a sex-positive
queer in an intergenerational romantic relationship.
I am out because the intersections of my identities are
beautiful and meaningful.
While my queerness precludes me from living up
to societal standards of hegemonic masculinity, my
queerness offers liberatory
possibilities for expressing
multiple masculinities. As
an aging queer man, I am

or bear subcultures with
less rigid body politics.
I am out as a bicultural
queer with white passing
privilege because my Native
American and Latino ancestries are often dismissed
until I intentionally call attention to them. I am out as
a queer feminist because, in
my experience, these two
communities fail to work
toward common goals, instead choosing to perpetuate longstanding conflicts
steeped in misunderstanding.
I acknowledge my economic privilege because I
grew up without it, I recognize that queer communities disproportionately live
in poverty, despite miscon-
ceptions about our wealth.
I am out as a sex-positive
queer because the sex-negative narratives that have
been ingrained in younger
LGBTQ generations concern me, particularly around
the stigmatization of poly
sexuality and HIV. I am out
about my queer intergenerational romantic relationship because I believe that
love comes in many forms
when we give ourselves permission to step outside our
comfort zone and approach

My journey over the past
five decades from the small
Texas town of my childhood to working and teaching at CSUSM has been
one toward honesty and authenticity. And at its core,
that's what being out is
about- living authentically.

Is the fear of rape true definition of "homophobia?"
What does it mean to be homophobic?
BY JOSHUA D . COPELAND
STAFF WRITER
Homophobia is not a real
disease.
At least not according to
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5),
where the term is nowhere
listed. Yet many homosexuals face discrimination today, and this discrimination
is what many consider the
definition of "homophobia."
But when the term is broken
down, "homo" means "man"
or "human being" while
"phobe" or "phobia" means
"fear of." Thus, to be homophobic is to fear humans...
not homosexuality. Then a
movie like "Get Hard," featuring comedic icons Kevin
Hart and Will Ferrell, hits
the theaters, and millionaire
James King (Ferrell) seems
very "homophobic," indeed.
The recent film has been
the target of negative backlash. Of the many offenses
the film commits, including negative portrayals of
stereotypes of race and homosexuality, King's biggest fear out of everything
is being raped in prison.
And while the fear of man
may not necessarily be real,
the fear of rape is very real.
From a man's perspective,
masculinity is definitive.
beyond any means of control.
Being raped is a fear that
both men and women share.
The thought of being sexually overpowered by a man
From a man's perspective, masculinity is definitive. Society is guilty
of associating masculinity with
power. Emasculation, by any sense,
is threatening to men.
Society is guilty of associating masculinity with power,
Emasculation, by any sense,
is threatening to men. To be
raped is to be stripped of
your power; to be violated
more masculine is unnerving
to straight men especially.
Women are (and rightfully
so) the focal point of victimization in what many are
calling today's rape culture.
However, we rarely hear
anything about the rape that
takes place in prison, which
in many cases occurs often.
In prison, young men are
violently raped repeatedly
by their inmates for the establishment of dominance.
There is no escape or protection from their attackers, and
there are no police to really
report to. There is usually no
sympathy for inmates who
endure these traumatic experiences. Instead we're taught
to believe that inmates are
deserving of torture, so we
laugh and make jokes about
men being raped. Something
that we wouldn't dare do in
the case of female victims.
Meanwhile, male rape
victims have to deal with
the trauma of sexual abuse
alone, and some later experiment with their sexuality out
of sexual confusion. There is
a lot of debate as to whether
or not a person is born gay
and what may 'cause' it. In
the case of one psychologist, Dr. Umar Johnson, he
reported that 95 percent of
his patients who were homosexual experienced sexual
abuse in their earlier lives.
So is "homophobia" really
about the fear of gay people?
Or is it the underlying fear of
being taken by another man?
Thoughts on womanhood
Reflections on Herstory Month and the rest of the year
BY ARIEL ROBBINS
STAFF WRITER
Thought #1: It's good to
be alive in a time and a place
where a woman's thoughts
can be taken seriously.
Thought #2: However, being a woman is complicated.
The dictionary definition
of a woman Is: an adult human female—but that's just
as helpful as defining the
ocean as "a lot of water."
They're more than that, both
of them. The problem is that
we try to define things that
are indefinable. To put it
simply, a woman cannot be
put into words because that
would limit her. There are
no bounds on what a woman
can be. Her genitalia does
not define her. Her ability to
bare children, or menstruate, does not define her. Her
character does not define her.
I tV common in contemporary society to want to
see women as strong, as independent, as selfless, as
someone inspiring. However, the second we give
one label to women is the
second that all of the women
who aren't strong, who still
need to depend on someone,
who are selfish, are exempt.
We can have our ideals, but
we cannot ignore reality.
We cannot ignore the segment of women who don't
live up to society's expectations. We cannot and should
not un-claim them. An unapologetic woman is just as
important as a woman that
will never stop saying she's
sorry. As a society, we try
and weed people out. Women
especially are given a mold
more distorted than most.
Our waistline is expected
to be as petite as our input,
but things are changing.
There are women that will
live and die under systems
of oppression, and there are
women who will cry for
them, who willfightfor them,
who will know nothing of
them, but that doesn't change
the fact that we are in this together. When society fails
us, we must become homes
for each other. Today, we
are constantly finding ways
to build each other up and

In the end, all this has lead
me to thought #3: In a world
that tries so hard to put us into
words, we remain undefined.
Why Pride Center's Aiello-Hauser is one of my role models
BY KATUN SWEENEY
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
I have been very fortunate
during my time at CSUSM
to have become friends
with people that exemplify
what it means to be a role
model. Meeting Robert not
only heightened my desire
to make social justice a priority in my career, but he
shows me on a daily basis
what it means to love and
work for your community.
When I started at CSUSM
three years ago, I knew only
a handful of people. As I
became more involved with
The Cougar Chronicle and
various other campus organizations, that gradually
began to change. When one
of my best friends expressed
an interest in visiting the
campus LGBTQA Pride
Center and encouraged me
to go with him, I initially declined. I was nervous about
whether or not I would be
welcomed in a space where
a community that I was
supportive of, but did not
really know, spent time.
When I finally did visit the
Center (which at this time
was housed in Commons, not
the USU), my nerves vanished almost immediately.
Every time I turned around,
someone new was coming
up to me to say hello and
ask me what video games I
liked or what other interests I
had. Even though I am lousy
at video games, I began visiting more and more often
and truly felt welcomed.
I had caught glimpses of
Robert here and there, but
finally officially met him
when I became Editor-inChief of The Cougar Chronicle in May 2013. After sitting down to talk with him,
visiting the Center more often and learning more about
LGBTQA rights and issues,
I gained a whole new appreciation for the movement.
One of the most important things I learned through
Robert and the Pride Center
is how to be an ally. As a heterosexual woman that identifies in the LGBTQQIP2SA
community (thanks Rodger
for teaching me this acronym!) as an ally, it has been a
journey for me to understand
what exactly that means.
Photo by Chris Morales
Robert Aiello-Hauser is the Director of the LBTQA Pride Cénter.
Being an ally is a very
complicated experience and
means a lot of things to a
lot of different people. For
me, being an ally means
that regardless of where I
am and who is listening,
I will always stand up for
folks in the LGBTQA community. I will always stand
up against homophobic
and transphobic language,
actions and stereotyping.
However, being an ally
does not grant me the authority to dominate a conversation about LGBTQA issues
and direct all attention to
me, or to speak on behalf
of the LGBTQA commu-
nity. It does not permit me
to dominate the front spots
at a rally or be the "face" of
the movement. It means to
support, which to me means
not having to be the center
of attention, but still making
it clear to everyone that my
support for the community
will not change just to "impress" or "appease" others
who may not understand it.
Without Robert, I would
have never learned this important facet to my identity.
This is just one of the many
things I have learned from
my time at the Center and
becoming friends with him.
Robert works tirelessly
everyday to make sure
that everyone around him
is cared for. He stays long
after his "shift" is over to
complete all of the work he
wants to accomplish. Robert
builds coalitions and encourages folks to get to know the
community. At events like
the Coming Out Monologues
and Rainbow Recognition,
Robert always cries from
genuine love, joy and empathy for everyone that shares
their thoughts and stories.
He never forgets anyone
or to check that everyone
around him feels loved and
accepted. He passionately
believes in creating safe
spaces and giving students
a platform to voice their
opinions. Robert works hard
to make sure that students
understand and own their
potential. This support is
something that has had a tremendous impact on my life.
When my father passed
away in November, my close
relationships became even
more important to ensure that
I stayed focused on graduating next spring, building
the newspaper and moving
forward with my plans to
apply for graduate school.
My friendship with Robert
in a lot of ways is like having
my father back. He has always been my dad away from
home, someone who cheered
equally hard for my accomplishments and supported
me through my mistakes like
my father did. He has been
friends with me even when it
was not popular to be and believed in my visions for the
newspaper when others told
me they would never happen.
I see a similarity in my father and Robert in that they
both had to overcome many
challenges to be successful.
But these obstacles did not
define either of them. Instead, it is the staunch support and love for the people
that they care about. Like my
father, Robert is one hundred
percent a person with his
heart on his sleeve, which
he continuously breaks
into small pieces so that
he can hand them to everyone that is in need of love.
Robert,
thank you for all
that you do.

During the 26th Annual
GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation)
Media Awards ceremony in
Beverly Hills, Los Angeles,
the organization announced
Image Comics series "Rat

Comic Book.
It was one of the many
recipients that were honored for ensuring inclusive
representation of the LGBT
community and diversity
in the media on March 21,
2015. Previous winners of
the category included Marvel's 2013 "Young Avengers", Archie Comics's 2012
"Kevin Keller" and DC
Comics's 2011 "Batwoman".
The series has been going strong ever since Jim
Valentino, co-founder of
Image Comics, greenlit
the series in 2013, according to series writer Kurtis
J. Wiebe's interview with
IGN. Wiebe collaborated
with Meg Dejmal to create
this so-called "love letter of

The two formed a fantastical cast of characters

Atheist Human Cleric, Violet the Hipster Dwarven
Fighter and Betty the Hippy
Smidgen Thief. This ragtag quartet of mercenaries
have a strange way of finding themselves into trouble
whether its with new enemies or those from the past.
Even though it is in a mystical realm with elves, dwarves
and other magical creatures,
some of these characters and
situations are close to home.
At times these women have
to deal with complicated
relationships and family issues. Still, they have quests
to complete. It is a must-read,
especially those that are fans
of Image Comics's "Saga"
and other adventure series.
"Rat Queens" is far beyond
any normal D&D campaign.
The series also gained
critical recognition when

Movie: 'The Normal Heart' looks back
at AIDS epidemic in the 1980s
B Y A LEX MARAVILLAS
ASSISTANT ARTS EDITOR
Matt Bomer had an invigorating and revelatory
performance in "The Normal Heart", losing about 40
pounds to play the character
Felix Turner. Turner reported
for The New York Times who
failed to resist to the demise
of AIDS. The extremely surprising impressive character
development earned Bomer
a Critics Choice Television
Award, a Golden Globe and
an Emmy Award nomination.
Homophobia pulverized
"The Normal Heart" at the
Emmys. The same anti-gay
agitations that incapacitated
"Brokeback Mountain" at
the Oscars gave the film a
disadvantage. Ryan Murphy's HBO adaptation of
Larry Kramer's 1985 play
about the happening days
of AIDS before the usual
time was one of last season's
most praised enthusiastically and publicly telefilms.
Both the play and the HBO
film looked at the New York
crisis through writer Ned
Weeks (Mark Ruffalo) who
was more adamant about
the issue in comparison to
his lover, Turner (Bomer).
The two struggled to form
a group to raise awareness
about the disease, constantly
arguing about how to confront this problem. Other talents included Joe Mantello,
Alfred Molina and Jim Parsons. In June, it won Best TV

Bomer victory would've also

straight actors are cited for

Student Leadership Awards Night
Bryan Clark
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
The Student Leadership Awards were held at the
Rancho Bernardo Inn on Friday evening, May, 12, honoring and recognizing CSUSM club members for their dedication and determination in student organizations. The
Rancho Bernardo Inn graciously hosted approximately 200
CSUSM students, faculty, and staff—serving them a dinner
of chicken and poached salmon.
Students were encouraged to attend the extravagant
"suit and tie" affair at a cost of $15 dollars per student. Many
of the club members in attendance were also given invitations for friends and family to attend the event. University
President Alexander Gonzalez; Executive Vice President,
Dr. Ernie Zomalt; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr.
Richard Karas; and ASI Executive Director, Darlene Willis,
were also in attendance.
Waleed Delawari, ASI President, master of ceremonies,
commented that the awards event was "truly for the students." The first hour of the event awarded members of the
Board of Trustees, members of the current administration,
and past ASI presidents who also gave speeches that evening. Delawari honored the former ASI Presidents, Charles
Ragland and David Alimi, Joseph Faultous, and President
Elect, Dean Manship.
Numerous plaques and statuettes were also handed out
in honor of student government leadership. The keynote
speaker, Dr. Ernie Zomalt, was among the honorees that
received awards for his role in establishing CSUSM student government. The last half-hour of the event honored
a majority of campus clubs, including Greek institutions,
Dance and Arts, MEChA, and the Victorious Club.
The event seemed to go off without a hitch, until
ASI went to award a member of the Victorious Club--a
student organization that works to achieve equal rights
and privileges for the physically challenged. However, it
appeared that ASI overlooked wheelchair access to the
stage, unknowingly preventing Penny Lanese from receiving her award in a timely manner. Prior to this incident,
Delawari had jokingly remarked to the audience, "If you
don't claim your awards, we get to scratch the names out
and keep them."
After the award ceremony ended, congratulations and
photo opportunities began. Students were able to shake
hands with President Gonzalez, Dr. Zomalt, Dr. Karas, and
Darlene Willis. Students also danced to the music provided
by a DJ and guests mingled as the event drew to a close
around midnight.

the style of a Trinidad Carnival, and danced and paraded
to the beat of a number of Caribbean style tunes in two
groups, "Ecstasy" and "Fantasy."

SCVLPTVRE TRIGGERS CJLMPVS CURIOSITY
PRIDE STAFF WRITER

''Nobu in a Dream" is expected to be on display until the end of this semester.
On Wednesday, May 10, an anonymous plastered sculpture magically appeared overnight on Founder's Plaza Courtyard. The physical anatomy of the nude piece suggests it is
male. The faceless figure stands in a rigid position with clenched fists and is approximately
5'9" in height.
Although the sculpture may not resemble a Rodin or a Michaelangelo, it definitely captivated the attention of many CSUSM students. On Thursday night, from afar, an unidentified student screamed, "Look! It's the naked white man!"
It turns out that the "naked white man" is a creation by CSUSM student, Hironobu Shimomura. The piece, titled "Nobu in a Dream," is a project for VSAR 320: Public Expression
in the Arts.
Hironobu bases his project on his unforgettable recurring dreams. "This dream was
situated at public places, such as school ground, classroom, and town streets," recounts
Hironobu. Even though he wore clothing in the beginning of his dreams, by the end of them,
he was naked and feeling intense emotion. "I would like to make this dream sequence come
alive at this campus" writes Hironobu.
Nails, newspaper, plaster, wire, and wood hold the piece together and a wooden skeleeton lies underneath the plaster. However, based on Hironobu's sketches, the piece remains
incomplete.
Hironobu's project proposal and sketches are on display in the hallway on the second
floor of ACD. In his proposal, Hironobu explains he will use sandpaper and a wood carving
tool for the sculpture's detail. Plastered clothing, such as pants, shirt, and shoes, will also
accompany the piece. Hironobu will also use a slide projector to project images onto the
statue for his class presentation.
The VSAR 320 course, taught by Professor Kristine Diekman, examines public art,
government funding for the arts, First Amendment and censorship, and historical and social
context through various case studies.
"Nobu in a Dream"

Here Comes The Sun:
Be Informed about Skin Protection for the Upcoming Summer Months
Kimberly Valentini and Shanna Skidmore
PRIDE STAFF WRITERS
The sun has peeked through the clouds during the
last few weeks of classes and many students have taken
the opportunity to sit outside the Dome and absorb the
rays. Stephanie Dail, a CSUSM junior and sunbather commented, "I know I'm at risk for skin cancer, but I just love
being in the sun."
It is evident from the great amount of sunbathers outside the Dome, that Stephanie is not alone in her opinion.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. However, many students may be unaware of the damaging effects the sun can
have on their skin and unaware of how to protect themselves.
Skin cancer appears in the form of moles on the skin.
Moles that change in size, shape, and/or color should be
checked by a doctor right away. The American Cancer
Society suggests to check for any changes in mole patterns,
freckles, and other marks on your skin. Signs of skin cancer
include: a difference in the edges of mole possibly ragged
or notched,, one half of the mole may look different than
the other, also watch out for mixed colors in moles such
as shades of black, tan, or brown, and sometimes spots of
white, red, or blue.
Protection from the Sun Rays
What is Skin Cancer?
According to Heath Net, one out of every seven Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. The
American Cancer Society reports that basal cell cancers
account for 75% of skin cancers and melanoma accounts
for 4%. According to the American Cancer Society there
are two types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma.
Nonmelanoma skin cancer is broken up into two classifications: basal cell cancer, which can be found on the head
and neck, and squamous cell cancer which can found on
the face, ear, neck, lips, and backs of the hands. Melanoma
mainly appears on t he upper body of fairskin men and on fair-skin women's lower legs. However, melanoma can appear in other places of the body.
Melanoma cancer is much less common than the basal
cell cancer, and is almost always curable in its early
stages.
running to the tanning salon is not the solution. The best
defense against skin cancer is to protect yourself and know
the facts on cancer.
Listed below are some guidelines from Health Net for
protecting yourself from skin cancer:
•Avoid being in the sun during peak time, between
10:00am and 2:00pm.
•Be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock with a SPF of
15 or greater every time you're outdoors; even when it is
cloudy outside, the sun's UV rays can pass through the
clouds.
•Cover every part of your exposed body with sunscreen,
reapplying every two hours and each time you get out of the
water.
•Take a break from the sun every 20 minutes if it is possible.
•Stay in the shade or wear protective clothing when
you're not physically active.
For more information on skin cancer, contact The American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 orwww.cancer.org;
the American Academy of Dermatology at 1-847-330-0230,

or the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship at 1-888650-9127 or www.cansearch.org.
Malignant Melanoma
UV radiation from sunlight and tanning booths is the
source that puts people at a greater risk for all types of
skin cancer. Being exposed to the sun without protection
puts everyone at risk for getting skin cancer. Cathy Grenett,
Clinic Aid II, from CSUSM Student Health Services said,
"We encourage all of our students to use sunscreen and to
have dermatology test done frequently."
The American Cancer Society predicts that in the year

Cloudy gray skies didn't keep CSUSM students, faculty,
and staff from enjoying the swing and blues sounds
of Candye Kane during Monday's Noontime Brown Bag
Concert. A lively atmosphere was apparent as Candye Kane
and her band, The Swingin' Armadillos, performed a mix
of big-band, blues, jazz, and swing music outside the Dome
Stage.
Kane, who is said to "encourage her audiences to
shatter stereotypes, celebrate their sexuality, and live their
dreams," took a moment in-between songs to comment
on her opposition to Proposition 22 and encouraged the
CSUSM audience to "embrace all the love" regardless of
race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Kane, who appeared on talk shows like Donnie &
Marie, Queen Latifah, Roseanne, and Pen and Teller's
Sin City Spectacular in 1999, is also an award-winning
musician.
Her music awards and nominations include 1998-1999
San Diego Music Awards, Gay and
Lesbian American Music Awards, the 1999 Jim Croche
Music Award, and many others.

Within the last few m onths, i nternet-based companies have dealt with numerous

N apster e ncourages u sers to download copyrighted music without the consent of the

The p hrase known as the " safe h arbor" clause r efers to Section 2 of the Digital

I n other words, a p erson is responsible for what other people put on t heir s ervers.

Andrea Cavanaugh
For the dead and the living we must bear witness."
-U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
Tuesday, May 2, 2000, marked Yom HaShoa'h, the
international Day of Remembrance, a day set aside to
honor and remember the six million Jews killed during
the Holocaust. CSUSM held its f irst public recognition
of Yom HaShoa'h last Tuesday, when Dr. Andrea Liss
discussed her book Trespassing Through Shadows:
Memory, Photography, and the Holocaust.
and artistic representations of the Holocaust. In her lecture, she discussed the graphic and disturbing images
of the camps seen in photographs, and noted in an interview that the "direct documentary approach is not that
respectful of the people being pictured."
Liss, who will teach a class entitled "Holocaust Art,
Photography, and Film" in Spring 2001, said she hopes
that by learning more about the events of the Holocaust, people will be more willing to confront intolerance when it occurs around them. "We need to be concerned about racism at a local level and not be afraid to

graphic and idealized images. "It's a matter of how they
can work together," she said.
"It was considered an extreme imperative to set
aside a day of remembrance," Liss said. "There can't be
static remembering" of the Holocaust, she said. "That's
called forgetting." Yom HaShoa'h, which began in 1951,
was set to coincide with the 1943 uprising of Jews in
the Warsaw ghetto, Liss said, in an attempt "to wed this
commemorative day with those events."
Artistic representations such as comics draw in the
"post-Auschwitz" generation, Liss said. In her book and
in her lecture, she discussed Art Spiegelman's Maus
books as one example of nontraditional media that seeks
to bridge the gap between those who experienced the
Holocaust and those who seek to understand it. Spiegelman serves as a "liaison between the world of the presLiss described Yom HaShoa'h as it occurs in Israel, ent and the world of the trauma," Liss said.

Death is the Opposite ofDesire"
San Diego Opera Presents Streetcar Named Desire
PRIDE EDITOR
Melanie Addington
As the curtains drew open, the breathtaking simplicity and
beauty of the setting stunned me. The scenery was split in two
sections of the apartment to account for outside and inside scenes.
Once I adjusted to hearing the familiar lines repeated so often in
Tennessee William's play, sung, I relaxed into the moment and
enjoyed Streetcar for all it was worth.
In act one, Blanche Dubois has come to New Orleans to
visit her sister, Stella. Stella's husband, Stanley, "infuriated by
Blanche's artificial airs, her suggestive behavior, and what he
regards as her loss of his wife's birthright, is determined to expose
the lies about her past," according to the San Diego Performing
Arts magazine.
That night, Blanche meets Stanley's poker buddy, Mitch. Flirtation ensues between the two, and Stanley angrily breaks up the
party.
Streetcar Named Desire is the sixth opera to be part of the
North American Voices Program, which is intended to showcase
a series of operas with subjects relevant to North American experience.
North American Voices project continues the 2000-01 season
with the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree. A bittersweet love story based on the novel by Olive Ann Season. Academy award winner and film director Bruce Beresford will direct.
The San Diego Opera runs yearly from January through May
at the San Diego Civic Center in downtown San Diego.
Ticket prices range from $31 to $118. Rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $20. To purchase tickets or
find out more about rush tickets, contact San Diego Opera online
at: www.sdopera.com or call (619) 232-7636.
Unfortunately, the first ninety minutes of the first act were
abysmal. The songs were drawn out, overdramatic, and senseless.
"It made me wish I had stayed home," commented an audience
member during the first intermission.
In act two, Stanley tells Stella of the tragic rumors circulating
about Blanche. On a date with Mitch, Blanche reveals her innermost secrets.
In act three, Stanley cruelly ruins Blanche by revealing her
secrets to Mitch and buying her a one way ticket back to where
she came from. This begins the deterioration of Blanche's mind.
After a whirlwind of catastrophe, Stella is forced to send
Blanche to an asylum. Thinking she is leaving to visit an old
admirer, Blanche unwittingly takes the doctors hand, informing
him she, "has always relied on the kindness of strangers."
The score was still jarring at times but would instantly come
together beautifully in a heart rending operatic duet. Anthony
Dean Griffey, portraying the insecure but Mitch, a moralistic
suitor, brings new depth to his character when he and Sheryl
Woods, as Blanche, reveal the depths of their characters souls in
the act's final song.
As a fan of Tennessee Williams, I was pleasantly surprised at
how s uitable Streetcar Named Desire w as f or o pera. T he d ifficul-
ties in adjusting from viewing the play to listening to the opera
weigh heavily in the first act. As the show went on, much of the
audience was captivated by the stellar performances by the cast.

In response to Victor

First of all, I am sorry to

even some developed countries) and one of the most,

Though it may be true
that Cuba's government may
be repressive (this is a law
of political science: states in
all their forms, capitalist or
socialist, are repressive), Cuba
is not sponsoring terrorism
within its borders or anywhere
else. The main state or government that sponsors terrorism
in Cuba and throughout the
majority ofcountries throughout the world is the United
States. TheU.S. sponsored the
Bay ofPigs invasion as well as
many assassination attempts
of Fidel Castro (no government has the right to assassinate a nation's leader).
Also the U.S. is responsible for a 30 year trade embargo
on Cuba which has been condemned repeatedly by the
United Nations and does not

that the U.S. is currently selling arms to a 70 year old
illegitimate, terrorist Mexican
