perfectly reasonable," said Larkin.
Larkin said that the other parts of the
bill are personally disturbing, are a threat
to his livelihood as a college professor, and
would open up professors to frivolous lawsuits.
He said that the bill was designed to
make the public falsely believe, "that there
is a rampant problem of ideological indoctrination on American campuses and to
suggest that the problem isn't addressed
by existing legislation."
Citing what he said was dangerously

read a portion of SB 5, "Teachers should
not take unfair advantage of a student's
immaturity by indoctrinating him or her
with the teacher's own opinions before a
student has had an opportunity fairly to

question."
Larkin said he felt there were problems
with this reference to student immaturity in
the bill saying that, "by definition (college

Professors team up for
Oaxacan medicine and
culture exhibit
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
California State University San Marcos
professors Bonnie Bade and Deborah
Small have combined their expertise in
order to create an exhibition focusing on
the medicinal concepts and practices of
indigenous Oaxacan communities living
in both California and Mexico.
The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the
California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be
able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy
traditional music, dance and food from
local Oaxacans.
The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups,
"Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will
perform. Hands-on activities will be
provided by the Escondido Children's
Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food
will be served.
A video will premiere; featuring the
voice and guitar of CSUSM's Eduardo
Garcia, and President Haynes is scheduled
to speak at the festivities.
"Oaxacalifornians" is the term used
to describe the hundreds of thousands of
native people who have left their homes
in Mexico and migrated to California in
order to make a living. With the help of the
Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small
were able to photograph and document the
connections between the communities in
California and Oaxaca.
"This has been a unique collaboration
between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and
anthropology students, as well as the indig- years on the ethnographic research.
The exhibit takes a look at contempoenous Oaxacan community," said Bade.
The exhibit focuses on various aspects rary activities and pairs them up with

Morrow responded to criticisms of the bill by saying, "I can
amend the bill at any time," and
told the crowd to, "rest easy....
that (contested) language is going
to be gone."
Morrow said that criticisms of
SB 5 that maintain the bill will
require hateful or fringe ideological perspectives to be offered for
contrast were unfounded.
"No where in this bill do you
see that there is a requirement
to give equal time to any fringe,
whacko, off-the-wall fairy that
comes in," said Morrow
Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at
the university level and that the
decisions would be made by the
faculty of the particular university.

Affairs Cheyenne Barr said she
was concerned that SB 5 would
force teachers to "teach the bad
things about racism and the good
things about racism.. .they would
be teaching biology and evolution
and direct to creationism."
Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to
effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom."
Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi
said that there weren't multiple
sides to every subject, and that
the bill wouldn't require the
type of pluralism critics claim.
Bonomi suggested ASI should
get involved and develop a procedure for students with grade/
instructor grievances.
"ASI could investigate to help
the student, ASI actually doing
something for the students for
once," said Bonomi.

VARIETY
Tuesday, April 5, 2005
BY JULIE OXFORD
Pride Staff Writer
Photo by Joelle M. Frankel / The Pride
BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
While my fellow students lie
asleep in their beds, before the
sun has risen, I meet up with
eight big, meaty guys and yell
at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!"
"Harder!" "Drive it in!" and
"That's right, long and strong!"
Don't be fooled by my naughty
language—it's my job—I'm a
coxswain.
For the past two years I have
been mastering the art of being a
coxswain (cox for short). I steer
the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and
encouragement, and let my boat
know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish
line during races.
Since we don't have a rowing
program at Cal State San Marcos,
I cox for the San Diego Rowing
Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six
of the rowers in my boat were
Olympic Athletes, and we travel
all over the world racing against
other programs.
Most people associate rowing
with having very strong arms but
the majority of a rower's strength
comes from their legs. The seats
slide on a track with wheels, and
rowers use their powerful legs
and core strength to move the
boat.
Rowing is truly an orgasmic
sport.. .pun intended.
Nothing compares to being neck and
neck on the race course, amidst
the elements, staring down the
coxswain in the next lane over,
and motivating your rowers to fly
past the competition and win the
gold medal. After all, only first
place counts in rowing—there's
only one medal to be earned per
race—and boy does it feel good
to get it!
Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3
was the San Diego Crew Classic
at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a
huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast.
The race course is 2000 meters
and the seven lane course is
marked by buoys of different
colors. Strong winds, usually
coming in from port side, make
this race both challenging and
exciting for coxswains, rowers,
and spectators alike. The course
can be particularly hairy at the
starting line, where coxswains
need to back their racing shells
into stake boats with very strong
cross winds making for a difficult
start.
This past weekend, I coxed
three different racing shells
down the course. All of our races
were very competitive but my
most exciting race took place on
Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand
finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked
boats of Olympic athletes.
We were fighting for second
place all the way to the 1500
meter mark, when Marin made a
big moved for the finish and we
fell slightly behind. In the end,
we took third place, but we were
happy with our performance and
I steered a good course.
I would have gotten really wet
if we'd won first place! Come on
now; get your minds out of the
gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first
place boats get thrown into the
water by their crew.
Seeing coxswains get thrown
into the water and watching races
is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides.
Going to regattas can also be a
great way to meet men. When
else can you watch burly athletes
walk around in spandex? And
girls, isn't it nice to be familiar
with your prize before you get it
home?
Any students interested in
checking out rowing or coxing
¡should visit the San Diego
Rowing Club Website at www.
sdrc-row.org. This sport has
changed my life and made me a
more dedicated person, student
and athlete. After all, everybody
loves a good cox!
The end of the semester is so
near you can taste it. But you are
still here, wading amongst the
numerous deadlines which keep
you awake at night. If you're
looking for a way to relieve some
stress, and maybe get your mind
to stop and focus for a minute, I
have one thing to say to you: go
climb a rock.
Five minutes away from this
campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is
a place called Solid Rock Gym.
It is an indoor rock climbing
gym, one of three in San Diego.
It is the place to go if you want
to quiet your mind and reengage
your body.
When you are balanced on
two footholds and holding on
with all your strength to two
handholds, trying not to fall off
the side of a wall, it is hard to
think about that paper that is
due next week that you haven't
started writing yet. And when
you begin to feel the burn in
muscles you didn't even know
you had you almost forget that
you have to go to class in two
hours. And most importantly,
when you finally master the
incline on the traverse you've
been climbing for weeks you
realize that there is nothing you
can't do and that research paper
no longer seems so daunting.
There are two types of rock
climbing: ascent climbing
(which includes top-roping and
lead climbing) and bouldering.
Ascent climbing is climbing
vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a
partner to take up slack on the
rope as you climb upward).
Bouldering is climbing close
to the ground; either on short
vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of
bouldering is that all you need is
climbing shoes and a chalk bag.
There are no harnesses, ropes or
anchors involved.
Every Wednesday, with a
valid college id, you can climb
for $10 if you have your own

equipment and for $12 if you
need to rent it. Thefirsttime you
go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions.
The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice.
I recommend that the first
time you go you rent only shoes
and a chalk bag and get the free
lesson on bouldering. Start with
the bouldering, it is the essence
of climbing—just you and
the rock. It is the best way to
improve your balance, strength
and flexibility.
Plan on buying your own shoes
soon after you start because you
are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes
that fit well. Good shoes can
cost anywhere from $50-$150
dollars and they are well worth
the money.
The gym is a great place to
learn and a great place to train
in the off season. But soon you
will want to go outside and
climb real rocks. Lucky for you
it's climbing season and Joshua
Tree is only two hours away.
There are also plenty of great
climbing spots in and around
San Diego County. Ask the
employees at Solid Rock about
where to climb or go pick up a
book at REI, Adventure 16 or
Nomad Ventures.
But whether you become an
avid climber or a once in a while
adventurer I promise it will help
to relieve some stress and give
you a new perspective of just
what you are capable of.

Over 400 women raped and
murdered, 1,000 missing, and the
numbers continue to rise in the
northern Mexican province of
Chihuahua. The atrocities were
vividly outlined in a packed room
at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the
evening of Tuesday, March 22.
Entitled "The Disappeared,"
the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a
chilling realization to those who
had yet to hear about the events
in Mexico and a forum for those
actively working to change the
situation.
Following a brief introduction
by CSUSM sophomore Nancy
Martinez-Molano, the audience
heard the first-hand account of
Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become
a victim. After leaving for work
one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and
after investigation by local police
in Chihuahua City, she was found
raped and murdered. The cousin
of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and
tortured into confessing to the
crime.
Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political
pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a
crime she says he didn't commit.
Translated into English as she
spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted
that by speaking out the Mexican
government "is beginning to do
its job."
Many families in Mexico share
similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to
the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir
lives in danger. Much of the blame
for the murders has been laid at
the feet of the police in northern
Mexico who if not involved in the
murders themselves have been at
least uncooperative infindingthe
real killers.
Drug runners have also been
fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by
kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young
women, leaving their bodies in
the desert. Serial killers from
the United States have also been
linked to the crimes, apparently
noting the ease with which they
can murder in Mexico.
The situation has grown
steadily worse since 1993, when
prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands
of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ-
ment of poor migrant women
that have become easy targets for
assailants.
Much of the controversy has
been centered on Ciudad Juarez
in Chihuahua, where many of the
murders have occurred. Situated
directly across from the Texas
town of El Paseo, only the muddy
waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil.
The over two-hour long event
was closed by Sandra Bello,
a young photographer from
Tijuana who added a strong
visual to the presentation. Bello,
who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched
a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the
shirt design was inspired by a
similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest
and remembrance. We're turning
"t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as
she showed pictures of a diverse
group of people wearing the
shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes,
Bello has been traveling both in
the U.S. and Mexico on a mission
to bring awareness and change.
The feeling in the room went
beyond sadness to one of action
and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student
Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story
Patricia [Cervantes] told made
me want to get involved"

�OPINION
T HE PRIDE
By JASÓNf NKHQLS
Pride Ombudsman
This one's
not funny.
This
is
an apology.
This is my
penance»
An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols.
(Nice guy, in great shape,)
An apology to you, the Readers. : ;;
, V ^ . : • ' ^ •'
I'm sorry.
I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my
integrity, and my loyalty to you.
You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics
fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in
challenging the article Phoenix
wrote about the "Pride denied
ballot access." Phoenix felt the
need td defend her article, and
wrote an editorial in response.
Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM
farfromNCAA" Both appeared
in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just
before you went off to party
hearty M arty^i-.
' The editorial made comments
about Athletics Director Nich-
ols that have been defended by
this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing
the trope of hyperbole." The
'news5 article "CSUSM far from
NCAA" had some corrections
on its 'facts/
And that was the extent of
wrongdoing admitted by this
paper.
What a crock of S@#%!
This paper was turned into a
means of settling scores.
The Athletics fee made it
on the ballot, but the Pride fee
didn't.
So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan
wanted to be heard and tasked
Phoenix with writing a 'news'
article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by
answering the questions posed,
were able to take issue with the
'"Pride denied ballot access" and
the article ended by taking stabs
at the Athletics fee.
Things didn't end there.
After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor
taking issue with the article, and
I joined him in the attack, we got
a one-two punch of Phoenix's
editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next
publication of the Pride,
- T hetnto.
I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend
before that issue of the Pride
was published, I contacted the
Pride office to inform them my
Ombudsman column was on its
way,
I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I
suggested a means to rebut the
comments made by Athletics
Director Nichols.
I suggested that we make an
apology for the errors pointed
out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to
the Editor, but we should list
the numbers. I was convinced
that if the Readers knew the
numbers involved, we wouldn't
approve the fee.
Fd like to say that Ijust wanted
the Readers to be informed, but
that'd be a lie.
I didn't approve of the fee, I
still don't. But, I should never
have gotten involved beyond my
little gray box.
I was asked by Elizabeth to
write the article. I declined,
due to a conflict with my role
as Reader's Rep, Ombudsman,
whatever. I did, however, write
up an example of what I was
suggesting and emailed it to the
Pride office.
That's what I'm sorry for. I
made it personal. I was willing
Women's history not to
be forgotten
BY JARED PETERSON
Pride Staff Writer
I forget sometimes about how many burdens my wife and modern women in general take upon themselves. Society places
Now that Women's History month has more and more pressure on women to take
come to a close any thoughts we have had on an increasing number of responsibiliabout the role that women have played in ties. I don't want to go into all the reasons
history slip from our minds. Some read- why this is, I just want to recognize that
ing this might be thinking, "I didn't even they are rising to the challenges and doing
know that March was Women's History great things in the world.
Arthurian legend tells how the Knights
Month." Well, it was and I would like to
write one more article about women. Not of the Round Table were inspired to be couabout women of the past, but about those rageous in battle because of their love for a
woman. All of us today have a woman in
that we live amongst today.
I've been thinking about how much our life that has inspired us to be courathey deserve our respect. I'm a married geous. Take a moment out of your day and
CSUSM student and my wife recently went go thank that woman. Tell her that you're
out of town for a couple of weeks to visit wishing her a happy belated Women's Hisher family. While she was away I began tory Month and thank her for the difference
to realize how much I take her for granted. they have made in the history of your life.
Her name is Stephanie and she's the best.

Tuesday, April 5, 2005
to use the Pride as a means to
settle an agenda. I was wrong.
For that, I am very sorry.
When Tuesday came round
that week, I grabbed my copy
of the Pride. On the front was
Patrick's "CSUSM far from
NCAA" I knew that Patrick
took the job I declined, I knew
that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't
fault Patrick.
He's always
struck me as a decent guy. I
don't believe he knew the whole
story.
As for our Editors-in-chief
and Phoenix:
Wednesday night I got an
email from Dr, Nichols.
He wrote some nice things
about me, but 111 get to his
point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging
allegations of a personal nature
against me." Then, he used the
word ^libelous."
Dr. Nichols hoped to set up
a meeting with the Editors
and myself. The meeting took
place between Editors-in-chief
Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael
Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr.
Nichols later that week.
I had hoped and still do, that
Michael Dolan, and especially
Elizabeth Baldwin would do
what I'm doing now.
To admit fault To apologize.
To tell the whole story to you,
the Readers.
That's really all Dr. Nichols
wanted
I especially hoped Elizabeth
would come forward. She's
been the Editor-in-chief in
charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee
and Dr. Nichols. But, that word
'libelous" has been the means to
justify doing the bare minimum
for fear of legal action, in the
guise of Corrections
Clarification. A clarification that was
anything but clear.
Pride is not the name I'd give
this paper at this point
And now, I'll do what others
are unwilling. I submit myself
to your judgment.
If you, the Readers tell me to
"step down," I will.
Derek Heid will be thefirstat
bat next week as the potential Oman for next semester. He'll tell
you thé results. I can be judged

�Dear Pride,
I was pleased to see so
many students at the
academic freedom forum.
This was a forum that was
heated, civil, and at times
out of hand, but continued
to show how polarized our
country and campus is.
Even though I am a
liberal, even though I'm a
feminist, and even though
I 'm a hardeòre believer in
progressive issues, I am
comfortable saying that
you conservatives have
a point when it comes to
"academic bias." There is
a load of professors at this
and many universities that
are left of the spectrum.
They have their own
views as it relates to their
disciplines. My fellow
professors in my major
have very strong points
of views on women's
rights and to some it may
appear to be "bias." What
we argue is that some
disciplines can not be
taught any other way.
SB5 wants to create an
environment for learning
that is "fair and balanced."
I don't have a problem with
that, as long as "fairness
and balanced" is not like
Fox news. In fact, the
more views a class has, the
better the debate it creates.
This forces students
to think critically and
become greater learners.
I personally am horrible
articulating a view I do
not hold; thus, when there
is an alternative voice, it
creates a constructive level
of dissent to help students
really think about the
concepts we learn within
our disciplines.
We like to throw around
the meaning word bias as
means of defining a class
that is one sided. But bias
means "to influence in a
particular, typically in an
unfair direction." I believe
that most, if not all teachers
are not "bias" but they
teach subject in a one sided
way.
The problem I have
with SB5 is that it only
affects liberal majors. It
is a direct attack on one
of the last institutions that
hasn't been indoctrinated
by conservatives. I am
no more biased than my
friend Nick Bonomi.
As Cheyenne Barr so
eloquently put it "we
just see things though a
different lenses." But
for the conservatives to
charge that there is no
academic bias, as they
define it, in the economics
department or the college
of business is outrageous.
I believe economics is
taught in a very one sided
way. To make women's
studies or sociology
"fair and balanced" on
the terms Mr. Morrow
would like, is equivalent
to economics teachers
teaching communism
along with capitalism. We
must show "all views." It
was stated in the debate
that economics has no
biases, "its just math." I
personally would advocate
changing the class
name from Econ 201 to
Capitalism 101 to reflect its
real teachings.
I also heard complaints
from students that say if
they spoke out in class they
would be marked down
and failed. The first thing
I would say is that there
already is a system for that.
By the end of the debate
I got the feeling that you
conservatives had a bigger
problem than disagreement.
In the debate you all used
tactics of intimidation and
disrespect towards the
speakers who do not agree
with you all. I have seen
that also used by some
conservative students who
"speak out in class." Who
are you to say the teacher
is being an "indoctrinator"?
As far as I'm concerned,
if you are disagreeing in
a respectful manner and
encouraging debate on
the basis of an issue that
is one thing. However,
if you make derogatory
comments, use tactics of
intimidation, march off
and slam the door, throw
fits in class as a means of
arguments and even make
treats toward teachers...
Well let me just say that's
"immature" and it won't
get you far in life. So,
if you all want to pass
legislation that goes after
majors who are liberal, you
must apply the same to
conservative majors. Then
you can go on and fairly
preach your doctrine of
"fair and balance."

THE PRIDE
King Lear" bigger, longer and uncut
Just the way sissies and snobs prefer # # # © $
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Shakespeare is for snobs and sissies and people
who read books.
Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand
years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an
alienated listener.
For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear"
is not the play to change the mass's consensus that
the greatest plays of the English language would be
a lot better if performed English.
Known across many other languages as one of
the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also
acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the
nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the
play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the
San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum,
the most offensive and depressing aspects
can hardly be blamed on the author,
who was (we somehow need
scholars to confirm) 'quite
a character.'
From the onset the stage
is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use
of half a dozen large
sliding
doors—built
to resemble imposing castle gates—adds
a nice feudal tone, but
the external praises end
there. Attempting to
mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes
range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack
(excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live
flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the
best with what you've got' is your more often than
not—but the first rate performers are just enough so
to show the second-raters for what they are.
Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be
hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays
the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself
a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama
class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for
the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly
if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be
as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask
for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to
factory farmed sitcom stock.
Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come
from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try
reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely
than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain
of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed
rather than clutched at. If nothing else,
watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to
see modernized Shakespeare done
right and well enough to earn
the Bard at least a second
1 chance.
"King Lear" plays
through April 17, with a
handy and necessary student discount. More
information is available
at sandiegorep.com.

BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth
every penny.
Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have
the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure,
there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but
the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore
makes this a film to be held for dear life
rather than imitated to death. Sure, like
too many comics, its lines are jerked by
melodrama—the fermented testosterone
bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue
becomes as much an element of style as
bleeding fluorescent whiteout.
It's all about honoring the original art,
baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor.
"Official Director" Robert Rodriguez
was kicked out of the guild for working
so closely with the creator, Frank Miller,
(then actually giving him credit for it), but
the end result is better than anything since
"Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest
Director;" the more Hollywood realizes
the talent of comic creators the closer he'll
be to another job at a video store.
Not that a great look doesn't usually
enable mediocre performances, and not
that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove
most screen actors overrated, but a few
did give more than could have been had
by those with cheaper agents, or more love
for the series. It might be too disturbing
to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as
a prostitute, or too disappointing that she
does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's
seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock
coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis
would be silly, if its story context were not
already exaggerated to perfection. Basin
City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of
their own, hold up under mild torture, and
twist something metal into both outdated
and newfangled gender concepts. The
bare breast shots can be counted on one
hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the
encompassing imagery that the other hand
can stay in your popcorn.
And if you think that analysis was
vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought
of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The
point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of
"Desperate Housewives"
spice up late night TV
BY HEATHER HOFFMANN
Pride Staff Writer
Image courtesy of ABC
Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the
housewife has been reinvented.
The new housewife is beautiful, sexy,
smart and desperate.
ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the
way they think about housewives and
forcing people to rethink the meaning of
desperate.
The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama,
mystery, and comedy to show the lives of
suburban housewives.
It is narrated from beyond by Mary
Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed
desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what
if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and
than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening
might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder.
suicide in the premier episode. Mary
Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't
been solved, but her narration provides a
unique perspective into the lives of her
friends and neighbors.
All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what
makes them so relatable.
Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity
Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and
Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary
Alice left behind. Each week they find
themselves in extreme situations and rely
on each other for help.
Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't
exactly part of their group. She likes to
stir up trouble and has no problem using
her sexuality to get what she wants. She is
the woman all women despise.
All of the women have men troubles.
Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's
husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not
relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike
killed a man.
When the women aren't trying to fix
their men's problems and solve their own,
they're trying to figure out who murdered
Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding
Mary Alice's suicide.
A common theme runs throughout the
show and that's happiness. All of the
women are unhappy with some aspect of
their lives and trying to figure out what
went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how
to get it.
The cast of this show is beautiful. The
women are sexy and the men are hot. The
acting is excellent and the sets are appealing.
"Desperate Housewives" has been on a
mid-season break but is back now with six
new episodes in a row.
Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at
9:00 p.m. on channel 10.
