Faces & Places
Registration delays have students and faculty worried
ieet the Professor

Hits of Sunshine
Last week, over 1,000 students participated in the
" human 2 0" photograph as p art
of the celebration for CSUSM's
20th anniversary. Despite the
proverbial cloud looming over
CSUSM and other Cal State
campuses throughout California, t his event shows signs of
a s hift in morale across the
campus. Unfortunately, celebrating twenty years may
not be enough of a momentous occasion to overshadow
the continuing e ffects of the
diminishing budget for higher
education.
Many students at CSUSM
expressed concern when the
beginning of November came
and went t his last week without a sign, or even a whisper,
regarding registration for next
year. Typically, the students
who are guaranteed early registration, such as f reshmen,
athletes, and orientation team
members, receive a generated e-mail f rom the O ffice of
the Registrar when midterms
roll around n otifying them of
upcoming registration dates.
As that time has clearly come
and gone, students may have
another thing to add t o the
long list of stressors related
to the higher education budget
crunch.
Like "recession" or "swine
f lu," the budget cuts are
becoming the d e-facto phrase
that practically every branch
of the university h as using
to explain anything delayed,
closed, or rescheduled.
"Most of the time, the planning for next semester is done
before October," said Joan
Anderson, a CSUSM writing
professor. "But this year, [the
Registration Committee] didn't
f inish until the middle of October."
Budget cuts or not, CSUSM
o fficials cannot simply delay
the spring semester, leaving students and f aculty alike
uneasy about the limited time
to plan and schedule. At t his
point, the details surrounding
the scheduling delay are f uzzy,
but the ever-present excuse of
"budget c uts" r emains.
Now the students at CSUSM
will have to make even more of
a mad dash than usual to get
the coveted seats in the classes
they need. This delay is even
a ffecting those who a ren't even
students here yet.
"My f riend who goes to
CSUSM told me to expect
a registration e-mail before
November," said Brian Aragon,
and incoming t ransfer student
f rom Colorado. "When I didn't
get anything at the beginning
of the month, I got worried
because the classes I want f ill
up pretty quick. Plus, I have
to make sure all the housing
plans go through as well [...]
but w hat's the point of making
the move if I c an't get into the
right classes? Basically I have
a lot riding on it."
Unfortunately, the Pride
could not reach the O ffice of
the Registrar for comment in
time for t his article to go t o
p rint. In reality, the Committee
is not at f ault here. Rather, they
ai:e as a ffected by t his changing university environment as
faculty and students are.
It is important to remember
how budget cuts a ffect every
facet of university life; f urloughs, dropped classes, limited library hours* and semester unit caps are all results.
How much more can the school
cut back before it starts to
a ffect the quality of our education? Who's t o say that it has
not, already?

M y shrink's column
In case you haven't noticed,
we passed the middle of the
semester and are heading into
crunch time. You should know
by now where you actually stand
in your classes. The opportunities to improve your grades are
dwindling. Once Thanksgiving
comes, it's a steep downhill r un
to finals.
I assume that stress is becoming noticeable. It's a normal
response to demands that the
world is making on us. It kicks
us into a higher gear, gets the
juices flowing, forces our minds
into mpdes of worrying, planning, and problem solving.
Many students say they work
best under pressure, and this
makes sense. Stress triggers the
body's "fight or flight" mechanism, and the way to "fight"
upcoming assignments is to get
to work on them now.
But for some, stress can be
too much, and this is certainly
not helpful. When we have too
much stress, it interferes with
our lives and makes it harder
to take care of business. Our
minds become so jumbled with
worries that we can't concentrate. Our normal eating and
sleeping patterns are disrupted.
Some people lose their appetites almost completely, while
others start to binge, perhaps
in an effort to settle themselves
down. Some find it very hard
to fall asleep, or stay asleep, so
pressured are they with the feeling that there is so much that
needs to be done. Others are
so overwhelmed that they might
sleep more than normal, out
of the exhaustion that chronic
stress has on the body and out
of a sense of hopelessness in the
face of all that undone work.
This syndrome of being under
too much stress often gets worse
before it gets better. Each part of
it (its effects on concentration,
mood, sleep, and appetite) tends
to lead to making the problems
worse rather than solving them.
If 1 can't concentrate, I fall f urther behind or write papers that
are of lousy quality. If I've not
slept or eaten properly, my body
is not at its best and cannot cope
effectively with the challenges
hurled at it. And as the problems worsen, the grades sink,
and the assignments pile up, the
stress increases and the cycle
can get out of hand.
So let me offer two pieces
of advice for this moment in
the semester. First, because
you are not hopelessly behind
yet (you're not, are you!?), this
is the critical moment to get
organized. Take a calendar
and enter every assignment
t hat's due from now until finals
week. Make sure that you see
all the tests, quizzes, and papers
coming well in advance. Make
sure you find time just about
every day to make some progress on your schoolwork. The
amount of time you spend in
leisure activities may have to be
temporarily reduced to ensure
that you stay on top of your
work now. Your reward will
be play-time later, with decent
grades behind you. Make a firm
resolve to get organized and
disciplined now, for the rest of
the semester.
Second, if you feel that your
stress level is out of control in
the ways I described, get some
assistance. Talk to your professors. Go to review sessions.
And, if it would help, give us
a call at Counseling Services
to make an appointment. Our
staff is very familiar with treating student stress and can give
you some tools to s often the
blows of all that pressure. To
do so, call or drop by Student
Health & Counseling Services
(750-4910; location is Suite 100
in the SMACC building).

Advertising circus a i the cinema
BY BILL R HEIN
Senior Staff Writer
When I go t o see
a movie in theaters,
I stick to the cheaper
matinees or Monday or
Tuesday nights, when
t he local Edward's
Theaters have $1 popcorn or candy. But this
past Friday, I wanted to go out for dinner
and a movie with my better half.
Since we got out of dinner earlier than
expected, we got to the show very early.
That gave us enough time to see t he j ungle
t hat in Friday night at the cinema. Usually,
the amount of flashing lights and advertisements on a normal night is overwhelming. But when we went, it was startling to
see all that was going on inside the lobby.
We were attacked by men in black shirts
asking u s to take surveys about
television. And people f rom
H P were begging us to t ry
their new printers.
Both o ffering
p rizes
wanting personal information. Since
we were early, we humored them and
checked them out.
On one hand, it gave us something
t o do while we waited t o get in to our
theater. But I can imagine it would be
frustrating to work past this crowd of
advertisers to get to your seat. And in a
way, it made me sad to see the cinema
"pimping" out its lobby space.
In the big picture, I know it is not
a big deal. It is j ust a little unsettling
to consider how these people have the
audacity to be so in-you-face, and how
susceptible the general population is to
this media.
I understand the cinema is not f ree
f rom advertising and product placement,
but this seemed really out of place. This
was j ust one of those moments I stepped
back to see that I have been affected by
advertising. N o matter how much we
like to think we are above it,
advertising has changed
our world, and continues to invade.

Interview with LTWR professor Heidi Breuer
BY J ESSENIALUA
Pride? S ta!f^riter
V^i^ '
I f anyone h as t aken a Literature and Writing class with P rofessor Heidi Breuer, i t's easy
t o see t he passion she h as for
t eaching and for her students.
The Pride recently had the privilege t o sit down with Professor
Breuer to ask her a few questions.
Pride: When was your first
semester at CSUSM?
Breuer: I s tarted CSUSM in
t he f all of 2007.
Pride:
Before
C SUSM,
where did you teach?
Breuer: I taught at Wright
State University in Dayton,
Ohio f rom 2003 t o 2007.
Pride: Where did you get
your Bachelors?
Breuer: 1 got my bachelors at
a school called Florida Southern College in 1994. I a ctually
double majored in Biology and
English. I originally wanted to
be a Veterinarian but t hroughout my Biology degree I learned
that I 'm squeamish and that I
d on't like hospitals. So then I
continued with English. I got
my masters in English at Florida
State University and my PhD at
the University of A rizona.
Pride: When did you start
teaching?
Breuer: I s tarted t eaching
t wo classes a semester when
I s tarted t he m asters p rogram
u p u ntil I received my PhD. I
was mostly t eaching composition but I also got t o teach some
l iterature classes. But I 've been
t eaching a total of f ourteen
y ears.

com.
With the passing of Halloween, so
passes the spirit of shoveling mounds of
sweet, sugary treats into our gobs and
dressing up in outfits that leave nothing
to the imagination. Now that the holidays
are upon us, being abroad just seems to
help further the fact that we might not be
with our loved ones during these times of
family and unity. Obviously, it's November, a time of cool weather, falling leaves,
and capitalism in the face of an impending Christmas. Ah, 'tis the season. So
between the time of being away in England and coming back home (more or less
about 1 month), what's a guy like me to do
without the long held tradition of munching on varying-Thanksgiving meals? This
is the first time I'll be away from family
this Thanksgiving, and while it may be
liberating, it's also an odd change without the giant Butterball turkey, mashed
potatoes, or corn (ah, corn). It's times like
these when the hidden emotions start to
emerge and you just realize, as great as
this abroad experience may be, I miss
home.
During these times,
the best cure would be
to connect with those
you love back home.
Not through email or
Facebook, but through
handwritten postcards
or letters. It's these
little extra steps that
will show you, as well
as the people back
home, that they're/you
are missed. And who
doesn't like receiving
something in the mail?
It's exciting! You feel like an adult with mortgages or j unk mail, which only encourages you
to put on some fake glasses and reply humorously with, "Ah, I see the electric bill has come
in. Let's see what the damage is." I'm not sure
what it is but just reading small notes from
friends and family shows the care they put into
packing a box f ull of tortillas and coffee mix
(thanks, mom) or writing a few words letting
you know that you're missed. Yeah, it sucks
being away, especially if you know your sister
is going to get the giant turkey leg this year
and not you. But this is the time to be out on
your own and create your own traditions and
celebrations. Do something during Thanksgiving that will be memorable, whether it be
going away on a trip or sharing this American
tradition with those not familiar with it. As
terrible as it may be to retell the actual stories
(not the happy go lucky, what we're taught in
elementary school story) of the terrible things
done to the true founders of this land (you
know who you are), maybe now is time to start
a tradition of bringing people together under a
banner of cultural differences and just enjoying each other's company. And maybe a trip to
KFC would be cool too (turkey, fried chicken,
what's the difference?)

DJ Shadow
BY AMY SALISBURY
Copy Editor
~ mf
Ask yourself this: what are DJs famous
for? They sample music, patch together bits
and pieces to make tracks two hours long,
and have pretty cool names. The point is, a
DJ's status as an "artist" just isn't warranted
the way a songwriter's is.
I've already thought heavily about sampling: artists taking "pieces" of songs and
more or less recycling them as parts of a new
whole. Most songwriters will just take a riff
or a break (percussion) to loop while they
compose on top of it. Most DJs rely on the
entirety of a song to produce material, sometimes in the form of remixes.
So, titles aside, there are definitely varying
degrees of talent among DJs. On the lower
end, we have the guy who DJed your Junior
Prom. And on the upper echelon of DJ glory,
we have DJ Shadow.
DJ Shadow, born Joshua Davis, warrants
the designation of artist. His collaborations
with musicians span genres and trends, and
his solo work retains mass appeal among
listeners, critics, and fellow artists. With a
career exceeding two decades, DJ Shadow's
hold on the future of hip hop is as strong as it
has ever been.
Big names outside of hip hop call upon
Shadow for his fresh spin on music (yes, the
pun was intended). In 1998, he worked with
U.N.K.L.E. to produce a few tracks for their
second debut album, Psyence Fiction.
Long story short, Shadow became a temporary member of U.N.K.L.E. The current
members, James Lavelle and Pablo Clements, discarded all old material, and the
three went on create a hew sound. The list of
guests on that album grew to include members of Radiohead, Beastie Boys, The Verve,
and Metallica. Don't forget about Shadow's
multitude of remixes. An investigation into

that segment of his work requires attention
beyond what an ordinary remix might need.
The Bay Area hyphy movement also owes
much of its initial construction to Shadow.
His home base of San Jose put him at the
center of development in the early 90s. When
hyphy came to national attention in the mid
2000s, a documentary featured Shadow
along with several other musicians supportive of the movement, including founder,
Keak Da Sneak.
Shadow's debut album, Endtroducing...,
remains a stepping-stone within his niche.
Released in 1996, Guinness World Records
recognized it as the first album created solely
from music sampling in 2001. Innovative
and daring, Endtroducing... includes an
overwhelming amount of artists to create
an entirely new sound and feeling unique to
Shadow.
Rumors purport that a shift in Shadow's
work will be apparent with the release of
new work. With that, the DJing world will
inevitably shift with it.

Come stare at the Men Who Stare at Goats in a theater near you!
BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON
Pride Staff Writer
"The Men Who Stare at Goats,"
which opened Nov. 6, 2009,
starred Ewan McGregor as a very
different type of Jedi than viewers have seen him portray before.
McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a
down oii his luck journalist who
travels to Kuwait to sniff out a
story. While there, he runs into
Lin "Skip" Cassidy, played by
George Clooney, who introduces
him to "The New Earth Army"
which is a unit of the army aimed
to find alternative and non-violent
forms of combat such as psychic power and Jedi-like mental
manipulation.
In flashbacks, the camouflaged
soldiers practiced yoga, grew out
long hair, exchanged flowers, and
danced to Billy Idol as part of their
training. Skip explains the history,
fall, and rebuilding of this program to Bob as they head through
sand dunes and war zones on what
seems to be a wild goose chase, or
more literally, a wild goat chase.
The most enjoyable part of this
film is the healthy mixture of
dry satire and slapstick humor.
The dialogue is simply phenomenal, and the chemistry between
McGregor as a serious journalist and Clooney as a whimsical, yet serious "Jedi Warrior" is
spot on. Surprisingly, McGregor
never breaks the fourth wall with
quite a few instances of quoting
lines from "Star Wars" movies
in which he played the young Obi
Wan Kenobi. The humor comes
from the context and delivery of
lines, and it is never self-referen-
tial. George Clooney is always
very entertaining to watch, and
although many of his fast-talking
alpha-male characters tend to be
somewhat static, this film really
delves into Skip's memories,
ethical conflicts, beliefs, and his
growth over time.
Flashbacks make up a large
portion of this movie, and they
range from heart touching to sidesplitting, but some of them drag
on too long for the pacing of the
plot. At times, the flashback goes
on for so long that the viewer may
forget where the characters are in
the present.
The opening scenes, a title
screen claims "more of this is
true than you'd believe." This may
seem laughable in that it is basically a movie about men staring
so hard at goats that their hearts
actually stop. However, when it
comes to issues such as maturity,
disappointment, budding friendships, and personal ethics, the
movie is indeed very true to life.
This movie is completely hilari-
ous from the wacky visuals to the
sly writing, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a
few hearty belly laughs complete
wijh a side of emotion and inspiration.
flow like few other films. At least
it did for me. I went in well warned
and still it hit hard. The film has very
much to recommend, like "Yesterday" on all levels. In this film, there
is not only great cinematography but
also some scenes that will take your
breath awayfromtheir fairytale surrealism. The scenes take the viewers
back in time of simple summer love
that grows into something extraordinary. The one potentially weak
aspect of the film was the slow and,
what I felt, plodding start. Most great
films don't seem to risk potentially
losing viewers early on, but the risk
pays off handsomely in this film.
Irffect, the emotion builds steadily
throughout the entire film like a
locomotive, and then unloads on you
all at once. This is a knockout piece.
If you know love, then this film is
a must see. If you don't know love,
then watch this film and you will.
What to See*****
"Thelma and Louise" is a galpal movie starring Susan Sarandon
and Geena Davis. Yes, as a movie
reviewer (of age), I should have seen
this film long before now, but being
married assures that no chick flick
goes unviewed. Chick Flick is not
a derogatory term, it just delineates
that die film is geared to a female
audience, just as Jackie Chan films
are aimed afguys. Once again, this
is a top-flight production with great
performances by the leading ladies,
and great support from Harvey
Keitel. It seems that this film has
developed not only a cult following, but has grown to reach nearly
mythological proportions as a tour
de force for empowering women.
It runs the range of emotions from
serious to giddy, and even ventures
into campy waters at times. Perhaps
the one thing that does tie these three
films tightly together is the impression they will each emblazon on
your memory. So take your friends'
hands and take a fly at these three
greatfilms.What to See ****

BY BLAINE HMOGIL

How does one present movies
filled with sadness and make them
desirable to see? Perhaps by trying
to lode at the silver lining and these
films contain that silver lining, but
I'll leave it to you to find them
This wedi, these threefilmswould
be difficult to categorize other than
to say they are excellent. Although
they share sadness, they diverge in
many other ways. Some believe that
to truly appreciate joy one must truly
experience sorrow. So if you want to
watch some movies to get you happy,
here we go.
"Yesterday" is a story about the
title character, a South African
woman, and her struggles to get by
in a remote village. By our standards
of living, her standard is poor at best,
but we should seefromher strength
and joyous outlook on life, that
maybe her standard of living is not
poor in contrast to ours, only different She hasayoung daughter named
Beauty and a husband who works
far away in a mine to support the
family. The story takes a hard look
at AIDS and HIV in South Africa
and provides what seems an honest,
albeit harsh, look at the problem. All
aspects of this film excel, from the
screenplay to the acting, cinematography, to the story itself. There are
no weak points to this film. For that
reason, it is well worth watching, but
if you look for the deeper meaning,

SEX ion,
Recovering from
spring break
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
Did you see how
much stuff happened
during spring break?
You remember when
you did that thing with
the thing with that one
guy/girl? I thought you'd
never live that down!
Now, if only I knew an actual story
of how much fun you had so we can
talk about it, feel free to Facebook
me. So hopefully whatever you did
in Cabo, Mexico, Cancun, Palm
Springs, or Temecula (yeah Temecula, that place is crazy!), hopefully
you did it safely and responsibly.
So, now that school is back in session after a much needed vacation,
it is time to get back in the groove
of pencils, book, and teacher's dirty
looks (especially if you come to
class hung-over, and that's just not
fun either way, so don't do it).
But I digress, this is a sex and
relationship column, so let's talk
about that aspect of spring break.
Hopefully you didn't go to a spring
break party spot looking for spring
break love. Chances are it'll turn out
as bad as that Kelly Clarkson movie
when she was first starting out,
yeah, you remember which one I'm
talking about, the one with Justin
Whatshisface. Well, who cares, the
point is that that movie was terrible
(see how I made that connection?).
Finding love or simply a legitimate
relationship at a spring break party
location might not work due to its
basis. Everyone is in Cancun or
wherever to party, drink, and have
fun. Usually, creating an emotional
connection isn't the first thing on
e veryone's
mind

But you never know, some relationships start on a non-normative

relationship can turn out. Just make
sure you take into account certain
factors that can hinder this, like
distance and part habits. You need
someone that is faithful and willing
to take the time to make it work.
Now, let's talk about the sex (yes,
you heardright).There's always the
possibility that things could happen
when out in a social situation where
people are drinking and losing any
inhibitions. Whether intended or
not, sexual encounters happen, so
better to be prepared if you intend
for them. And if you don't, you
know that you have the resources
to stay safe in light of the situation. Make sure to visit the Student
Health & Counseling Center for any
questions you may have, stay safe &
get tested, and prepare yourselfwith
a plethora of condoms, dental dams,
and other contraceptive choices.

Inaugural Easter planning committee meeting
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
It was a quiet Tuesday in February a few years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus
Christ in 33 A.D. when the meeting took place. Good planning was
crucial because Easter was being
developed to celebrate the life of
Jesus. Easter also needed to incorporate traditional spring celebrations of the day to make the celebration accessible to more people.
A handful of elder event planners
gathered to create this celebration
for generations to come.
This meeting had gone on
for several days and the elders
agreed upon the major issues.
Overtired and worn out from
days of intense negotiations, the
elders were trying to tie up a few
loose ends and find a way to get
the children involved.
It was clear that the children
needed something to speak to
them, perhaps an Easter mascot,
a symbol if you will. During a
heated debate about the Easter
mascot for the kids, two of the
elders began verbally jousting.
One called the other an alter
cocker. Responding, the verbally
assaulted elder yelled back, "Well
you're no spring chicken either!"
Who would have thought?
The yelling stopped. A spring
chicken! Now we're on to something. Other elders stood in protest and wanted to axe the chicken
idea. "Chickens aren't cute," they
proclaimed, "and what kid could
relate to a chicken mascot?" In
the meantime, two of the wiser
elders began their own side discussion about which came first
the chicken or the egg.
The kids needed something to
represent the renewal of spring,
something cute, something fertile, something fuzzy and cuddly.
"Perhaps we should use the
standard bearer of fertility, the
bunny," declared one elder. After
all, who can argue against bunnies? A quiet swell of conversation swept through the group. It
became clear that the bunny proposal was gaining support.
Soon, the two elders argument about the chicken or the egg
began toriseabove the bunny discussion. "First was the chicken,"
yelled one. "You could not have a
chicken without an egg," shot back
the other. It seemed that the whole
meeting was falling to pieces.
Just then, an up and coming
advertising executive named
David jumped up on a table in the
center of the group and shouted,
"Stop!" He then proceeded to
pull out an easel and some papyrus and began , to sketch out a
complete marketing plan. He was
a man possessed.
He recapped the main ceremonial points on papyrus (this later
became known as a "papyrus
point" presentation).
"First," he declared, "the
bunny is the official Easter
mascot, and also, the egg stays
just not as a mascot. Bunnies will
be the mascot because they are
cute, cuddly, and best represent
fertility because they breed like,
well, bunnies. The kids will love
it. The egg stays not so much for
the kids, but as a conversation
starter. Who can resist getting
sucked into the whole chicken/
egg debate?" he queried.
There was a muffled consensus on this point. "For the kids
though, we can keep them busy
using that new Mordechai PAAS
dye kit to color the eggs and make
them bright and cheery."
The group, being tired and
hungry came to agreement with
everything David proposed and
so Easter was born and agreed
that the chicken should be axed,
roasted and eaten.
Years later, during Easter
celebrations, the kids became
enthralled with the chicken/egg
debate, the elders not so much.
After all, you can only hear "How
come?" so many times.
So began the tradition of hiding
the eggs. The elders knew that by
hiding the eggs, this would get
the kinder out of their hair for a
while and allow them some much
needed Easter rest.
Postscript: The strangest tradition, which followed much later,
is the idea that the Easter Bunny
would actually deliver the Easter
eggs and candies to all the children on the night before Easter.
This tradition is reputed to have
developed in Germany. Based on
my . personal observations, and
readings, my hypothesis is that
either Lewis Carroll or Edgar
Allen Poe started this tradition.
But I don't have the papers to
back it up.

April, alcohol, awareness
A lcohol A wareness M onth sheds light o n c ollege trend
BY EBONI HARVEY
Pride Staff Writer
If you are having more than
one drink five days a week, then
you really cannot complain about
being broke. Perhaps you do not
drink as frequently as that, but
even just drinking twice a week
will leave, at least, a $200 void in
your bank account annually. How
is that for some alcohol awareness
during a time when everyone is
lacking green in their pockets?
April is Alcohol Awareness
Month. It is the perfect time to
reflect, especially as college students, on the responsibilities surrounding alcohol consumption. It
takes a sound mind to maintain
awareness o f any responsibility, the biggest of responsibilities being the well-being of yourself and others. Alcohol awareness is such an important issue
for Cal State San Marcos that it
is a requirement. Freshmen are
required, within their first two
semesters, to become knowledge-
able and tested on alcohol and
drinking.
Alcohol can be a bittersweet
topic of discussion. It can be a
great addition, or an avoidable
necessity for social gatherings.
However, no one has been censored from the terrible consequences due to someone's lack
of responsibility when throwing
back cold ones or curing Monday
blues with margaritas.
According to the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),
a branch of the US Department of
Health Services, "one 12 ounce of
beer has about as much alcohol as
a 1.5 ounce shot of liquor, a 5 ounce
glass of wine, or wine cooler."
Too often people believe that
a swig from a can or bottle will
somehow relieve the stress of life
and they do not realize their need
for intoxicating liquids. Knowledge about alcohol is crucial at
any age, any academic level, and
any socioeconomic status because
the casual, beginning, or veteran
drinker must recognize the difference between alcohol abuse and
alcoholism. SAMHSA says that
there is a clear difference between
the two. Alcoholism is "alcohol
dependence syndrome." Sufferers
crave it. They lose control of their
alcohol intake and often develop
a physical dependence and an
increase in tolerance. On the other
hand, when alcohol causes someone to fail in fulfilling responsibilities, drinking in what could
turn into a dangerous situation,
and having reoccurring problems
related to the consumption of
alcohol, that is alcohol abuse.
Whether you label yourself or
someone else as an alcoholic,www.

The Sounds
BY AMY SALISBURY
Faces & Places Editor
Television is a powerful
medium. 99% of American
households have one TV. The
majority have two or more.
Anyone desiring maximum
exposure can take comfort in
knowing that television will
put you in the homes of millions.
Musicians would naturally
consider this when trying to
break into the industry. Countless companies approach art-
ists with the prospect of broadcasting their music through*
commercials. The prospect of
being associated with a product might seem unattractive,
but when the public receives the
advertisement well, the artists
could propel their way toward
stardom. Case in point: The
Sounds.
You'd be hard-pressed to
find anyone who isn't familiar
with the Geico commercials.
This car insurance company
certainly has some brilliant ad
writers at their disposal. The
Geico gecko has had his fair
share of fame, but the real stars
are the cavemen. Sprung from
Geico's slogan, "So easy a caveman could do it," the cavemen
appeared in several of Geico's
recent campaigns.
A personal favorite of mine
features the cavemen selling
motorcycle insurance. Granted,
the advertisements haven't
swayed me from my current
vehicle insurance provider, but
they have exposed me to a band
I wouldn't know otherwise.
The Sounds are a Swedish
band formed in the late 90s. Lead
singer Maja Ivarsson founded
the band with Felix Rodriguez,
Johan Bengtsson, Jesper Anderberg, and Fredrik Nilsson. In
2002, they released their debut
album, "Living in America."
The album didn't break into
the US charts, but their 2006
release, "Dying to Say This to
You," became number 1 on the
US Heatseeker chart, and 107
on the Billboard 200.
"Hurt You," off "Dying to
Say This to You," propels The
Sounds' music into homes
across the nation. The track,
heavy with new-wave styling
and punchy synth, turns a poptinged hook into the perfect
commercial backdrop. I don't
know how "cool" it is to be
known as "that band from that
commercial," but I wouldn't
have known of The Sounds
without Geico.
As a result of this exposure,
The Sounds are now touring
as a support act with No Doubt
across America. Their third
studio album, "Crossing the
Rubicon," comes out June 2.

Kristina W o n g : W o n g Flew O v e r the C uckoo's N est
Prominent A sian American performer visits C S U S M
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
One of the fall highlights of
CSUSM's Arts and Lecture Series
includes the recent visit by Kristina Wong. The March 24 visit by
Wong included a lecture to students in the day followed by an
evening condensed performance
of her latest award-winning theatrical piece, "Wong Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest." Wong, a prominent Asian American writer and
solo performer, uses sharp humor
and psychology in her interactive
performance based on the high
rates of mental illness and suicide
among Asian American women.
Wong plays the role of various fictional personas that keeps
the audience absorbed and on an
emotional rollercoaster during the
entire performance. The evening
included moments of silence and
extreme laughter as Wong shifted
the mood of her performance and
storytelling. One minute the audience would be seriously engaged in
complete silence as they the listened
to the emotional pleas of Wong's
character seeking help from knitted rags representing people. Minutes later, laughter burst from the
audience when Wong's character
would scream and cuss at them.
The audience also participated
with assigned responses to Wong's
queues as they held up funny
photos of her. The performance
ended with a powerful and unexpected twist when revealed that
Wong's character is a patient in a
mental institution. The evening's
performance closed with an open
Q&A session with the artist.
In addition to being a performer,
Wong is also a community activist and educator. The organization
Speak Out outlines Wong's previous work to include conducting
writing workshops for women of
color, and her previous work as
former artistic director of the Asian
American Teen Theater Company,
where she created educational theater on teen issues such as HIV/
AIDS with youth.
Wong uses unapologetic humor
to address serious, and at times,
taboo issues affecting women of
color. In 2000, Wong created a
mock mail order bride website
(www.bigbadchinesemama.com).
The site serves as a lesson website for men looking to order Asian
brides and uses sarcastic humor
in its content. The site's web page
reads, "Yeah, you've seen mail
order bride sites before, you may
have even surfed over to an Asian
porn site, but never in your wildest culturally commodifying sick
sexual desires, have you been
schooled by women (womyn) like
this!"
Whether Wong is doing a solo
performance, lecturing, or helping with youth and community
theatre, she is definitely someone
worth paying attention to. Wong
will continue to tour the United
States with her intriguing performance of "Wong Flew Over the
Image courtesy ofManja.org
Cuckoo's Nest" as she makes her
next stops in Chicago, New York
and Minnesota. For more information on Kristina Wong, visit www.

Men's Soccer Evens Record to 3-3
BY LANCE CARTELLI
Pride Staff Writer
Coming off a heartbreaking loss
to UCSD, the Cougars showed
the most confidence they have all
year and defeated Azusa Pacific
University, the defending national
champions, and Kansas Wesleyan,
both 1-0 with late dramatic goals.
Infrontofthelargestcrowdofthe
year, the Cougars (1-3), scratched
and clawed their way through the
first half of play 0-0 against #7
APU, helping to build their confidence for the second half.
After many opportunities, Brandon Zuniga was fouled in the box in
the 65th minute, to set up a penalty
kick to try and give the Cougars a
1-0 lead Christian Soares, who
scored a PK against UCSD in their
previous game, was stopped with a
lackluster attempt on the PK.
'When a penalty is stopped, it's
usually a backbreaker," said Coach
RonPulvers.
But the Cougars' backs were not
broken, just three minutes later,
Michael Nuovo, let loose a laser
shot off a loose ballfrom25 yards
out to give the Cougars the game
winning goal.
After the longest four minutes of
stoppage time and the Blue Crew
changing "Blow the whistle", the
game wasfinallycalled and the fans
erupted after the phenomenal upset
victory.
"This was the greatest soccer game
I've been to at CSUSM," said Junior
Rhys Morgan, "and I've been here
since day one".
In their second game of the week,
the Cougars had another nail-biter
against Kansas Wesleyan, defeating
them 1-0, in what can only be called
an ugly game.
The game was physicalfrombeginning to the end, with seven yellow
cards being called, mostly against
Kansas Wesleyan.
The Cougars had a plethora of
chances, two by Senior Co-Captain
Greg Reese, one was nullified by an
offsides call and later another off a
cross by Jose Rivas to Greg Reese,
which was hit off the crossbar.
"When you miss chances early on,"
said Pulvers, "you give the other team
confidence".
Finally, in another goal in the
68th minute, a throw-in from Troy
Skomra, was played into the box and
Greg Reese capitalized on it and the
ball somehow made it into the corner
of the net
Now (3-3), the Cougars have
another home game against Point
Loma this Wed.

Amethyst Initiative initiates controversy
A lowered age limit is not the solution
BY ROXANNE EUSEBIO
Pride Staff Writer
It has been 24 years since
Congress passed the National
Minimum Drinking Age Act
(1984), an act that raised the
purchase and public possession
of alcohol from 18 to 21 years
old.
Today, some college presidents across the country are
trying to lower the drinking
age back to 18 due to incidents
such as illegal means of obtaining alcohol and college binge
drinking.
These college presidents that
want to lower the drinking age
take part in the Amethyst Initiative.
According to its website,
Amethystlnitiative.org, it is
unfair for adults who are under
21 to not purchase alcoholic
beverages since adults 18 to 20
are eligible to vote and enlist
in the military. They also insist
alcohol education has not taken
effect on students.
While the website's explanations may sound reasonable, it
does not take into consideration
the consequences of lowering
the drinking age. For instance,
if the drinking age was to drop,
it is likely that the number of
alcohol-related accidents will
increase two or three times.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said
each year 55-58 % of highway
accidents are related to alcohol. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 670,000
people are injured due to alcohol-related accidents.
Just think of the numbers
rising if the new drinking age
were to be 18 instead of 21. A
cruise down the highway could
be even more dangerous than it
sounds.
College presidents believe
that binge drinking occurred
because of the high drinking
age. I believe that if you lower
the drinking age, binge drinking will never cease to exist,
especially when more people
will have very easy access to
alcohol.
This easy access will only
cause more people to binge.
More people binging means
more people having their stomachs pumped or getting alcohol
poisoning. If lowering the age
will just release a great deal of
problems, the law should stay
solid to its original creed.
Therefore, the drinking age
should not be dropped. Sure
18-20 year olds want to drink
alcohol, but they must know
how to drink responsibly.
There are still people out there
who abuse alcohol, and they
do not recognize the damage
they are putting on themselves.
While it is okay to drink, there
should be a limit. Adults should
know when to stop.
If adults are really adults,
then they would know when to
make the right decisions.
Until then, the drinking age
will and should stay 21 and
those underage will just have to
wait for a couple more years or
drink privately.
A special note from the Editor-in-Chief: Ethics
By Viridiana Pacheco-Isaac
Editor-in-Chief
Pick an opinion—any opinion—• and it is guaranteed that
someone out there will disagree with you.
We can never please everyone, and that is okay.
The beauty of this country is
that we have something called
freedom of expression, and,
when used appropriately, can
be a beautiful thing.
It is the obligation of the
media to provide a forum for
the exchange of ideas and
points of view, however popular or unpopular they may be.
The opinion section of a newspaper, for example, serves as a
haven of f ree speech, and oftentimes hosts such an exchange
in search of robust and vibrant
ideology, sparking discussion and drawing new ideas to
improve our society.
It is also the obligation of the
media to hold people accountable for his/her actions without the use of sensationalism,
slanderous or libelous content.
It is our obligation to be t ruthful, to celebrate the accomplishments and progressiveness of our society and com-
munities, and to also demand are exempt because they are

Each section of the newspaper serves a different purpose.

The editors at The Pride share
such a responsibility. In many
ways, it is an obstacle to decide
to write about things that are
controversial and may cause
tension among our peers.
But we must. If we do not,
we will not be upholding our
ethics to the highest standards
like we vowed to do when we
decided to be journalists. If we
do not, we are not being fair.
And if we are not being fair, we
cannot be journalists.
�Women's Center Campus recreation
A place for all students opportunities
By Kathryn McBrayer
A&E Editor
Walking into the ASI Women's Center
arouses a sense of comfort and a safe
placet
Information leaflets line the walls and
table in the entrance, but the first thing
to really catch the eye is the three soft
couches centered in the room inviting students to take a break and just "be."
A private space is available for people
who need to get away for a moment
weather to breast feed, cry or take a nap.
"There is no time limit for people" says
Hermi Ramirez, the Women's Center
community outreach leader "We love
it when people come in just to eat their
lunch."
The Women's center does not cater just
to women, but all students are welcome to
cruise into the center for information on
health issues, social justice and so much
more.
Lindsay Riedel, operations coordinator, says "the Women's Center serves so
many different purposes." The center
provides crisis counseling and referrals for professional recourses and legal
advice. It also offers practical help for
students such as f ree condoms, tampons,
dental dams and an electric breast pump
that can be rented for the semester or just
the afternoon.
Free pregnancy tests are available
along with emergency packages intended
to provide essentials for women who
need to get through a few days.
Text books are also available for rent
for the semester.
The ASI Women's Center is sponsoring several events throughout the
semester. This month they will be hosting InterACT on September 17th in Arts
240 a piece intending to educate about
sexual assault, Sep 25th National Women's Health and Fitness day, an assertive workshop on Sep 24th, and Col. Ann
Wright discuss Sexual Assault in the
Military.
Programs like these will be sponsored by the Women's center throughout the semester to address social justice
issues.
Social justice is also an important
theme in the Rag magazine that the
Women's center issues every month.
Writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to submit articles, poems, questions themed on social justice.
Quizzical students are also given the
opportunity to ask uncomfortable questions to 'Aunt Flo' who offers wisdom on
topics such as sex and relationships.
This month's issue is a combination of

Campus Recreation is a fairly recent addition to the CSUSM campus. Based out of
the Clark Fieldhouse, they have many activities available to everyone, from students to
faculty alike.
Intramural sports makes up a large portion of what the Campus Recreation Center
is currently known for. For just a flat $10
fee, you get access to ALL the Intramural
sports throughout the year.
Maybe make a basketball team with some
buddies and come down on Friday afternoon
from 12-5? Or you can join their Intramural
Co-ed Dodgeball team. "It's fun, competitive and a great way to meet friends." says
Friank John Tabarez, who formed a basketball team with some roommates this year.
Campus Recreation even has big plans for
some other Intramural Sports which might
interest you. These include Kickball, Flag
Football, Powderpuff, Womans Basketball,
and more. Whatever you enjoy, they have a
place for you.
Not into Intramurals? No worries, we've
just begun! They also have Excursions
throughout the year. This is a great chance
to get off-campus and have some fun. They
already had an extremely successful Sailing Excursion, and they have a Rockclimbing Excursion scheduled for Oct. 6th. Excursions still to come include Kayaking, Bowling, Snowboarding, Paintball and more.
Want to learn something fun without
having to pay a fortune? Well they have free
Fitness Leisure Classes for students. They
include: Core Central (ABS) - Mon & Wed @
3:30pm, Power Pilates - Mon @ 5pm, Kenpo
Karate - Mon & Wed @ 6pm, Ashtanga
Yoga - Tues & Thurs @ 12pm, Boot Camp
Box- Wed @ 5pm, Hip-Hop - Tues & Thurs
@ 4pm andAfrican Dance - Soon.
You just have to show up. No paying, no
signing anything, just gotta walk through the
door. If only every part of college worked
like that. Oh, faculty, I forgot to mention, you
need to pay. But it's still cheaper that tuition,
so it's not like it's a thinly veiled attempt at
revenge or anything...
The last big thing Campus Recreation
offers are clubs. They have clubs for Surf,
Cheer, Women's Volleyball, Dance, Women's Soccer, Cycling and Triathlon.
Hugo Lecomte, the Director of Campus
Recreation, has high hopes for this program. Lecomte says "(Campus Recreation)
is on a mission to promote campus involvement by encouraging physical activity and
healthy lifestyles and providing quality and
safe recreational opportunities." With all
the things he's got going at Campus Recreation, I think it's safe to say he is doing a
great job.
If you want more information, or want to
sign up for any of the fun activities listed
above, come on down to the Campus Recreation Center in the Clark Fieldhouse.
They're business hours are from 11-1 and 4-7
Monday through Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays. If you just want a question answered,

From June 30th to July 21st, I participated in the trip of a lifetime on the
UCLA Travel Study Program in Greece.
This program was taught by Professor
David Phillips (UCLA), Professor Nicholas Rockwell (University of Denver),
and, CSUSM's very own, Professor Darel
Engen and focused on ancient Greek history.
This phenomenal program combined
daily classroom lectures with on-site
visits to create an amazing learning experience. Students also read ancient Greek
classics and the historical accounts of
Herodotus and Thucydides. Students
were tested on all materials during the
course of the program which culminated
with two final papers after returning
home.
The trip included extensive travel
throughout all of Greece that cannot possibly be covered in one article but the
highlights included exploring Athens
and the Acropolis and pondering the
daily lives of the ancient Greeks. We also
visited the breathtakingly beautiful town
of Nauplion with a Venetian fortress
perched on a hill overlooking the town.
We toured the ancient sites of Mycenae,
Nemea, and Epidaurus and were able to
learn about the ancient Greeks' importance of fortification, religion, and the
theatre.
We visited the ancient site of Olympia which was a sanctuary to Zeus and
Hera in addition to the site of the ancient
Olympics which ran from 776 BC until
392 AD. We also visited the city and site
of Delphi which included many ancient
temples and treasuries including the site
of the oracle who gave prophecies to the
ancient Greeks.
Northern Greece included a trip to
Thessaloniki and the ancient tomb of
Phillip II of Macedon.
The trip culminated in a 3 day cruise to
the islands of Mykonos, Ephesus, Patmos,
Crete, and Santorini which included
shopping, beach excursions, site visits
to the Library of Celsus in Ephesus and
the palace of Knossos in Crete, a visit to
the Cave and Monastery of Saint John on
Patmos as well as a thrilling donkey ride
and astonishing sunset in Santorini.
During the trip, students were able
to enjoy some f ree time aside f rom site
visits and studying which included meandering the vast amounts of shops in the
Athenian Plaka, exploring the National
Gardens, watching the changing of the
guards, climbing to the t op of the Venetian Fortress ift Nauplion (all 999 steps to
the top!), and; most importantly, taking
time out to make friends and enjoy the
culture of Greece.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the
trip was all of the unexpected moments
that occurred. On Patmos, I watched a
Greek funeral procession that took place
which provided an insight into Greek
culture. On my last day in Athens, I was
able to explore an archeological dig which
was a surreal experience that showed the
richness of Greek history that is continuing to be unearthed.
In closing, I would like to thank Professor Engen for his dedication to education and for encouraging and challenging
his students to "mind their brains."

Music lovers know what they
want and when they want it: more
now. That being said, not all of us
are the same. We aren't all lucky
enough tofindgratification in TRL
or MySpace music, or discover a
new artist just by listening to the
radio. So why not hire music analysts to endlessly comb an everincreasing bundle of musical bliss?
The Music Genome Project
caught on fast and created Pandora
to put a unique music database in
the hands of users everywhere.
The Project's internal workings are relatively straightforward
concepts that go one louder. Since
2000, the team offiftyhandpicked
music experts takes one song at a
time and dissects works into hundreds of details, sometimes taking
as long as a half hour to fully capture every nuance.
The song's attributes—such as
harmony, instrumentation, l yrics-
Pandora Radio S « gU
identify it with other songs to produce groups of music with remarkably similar styles and tones.
"It represents over eight years
of analysis by our trained team of
musicologists, and spans everything from this past Tuesday's new
releases all the way back to the
Renaissance and Classical music."
Joe Kennedy, Pandora's CEO,
President, and self-proclaimed pop
music junkie, is the driving force
behind Pandora's success and range
of clientele.
However, Pandora surprisingly
spread almost solely by word of
mouth. By developing the Music
Genome Project into a personalized
radio, the appeal of only hearing
music analytically chosen according
to your distinctive taste became so
great that that Pandora recently created applications for select AT&T
and Sprint mobile phones.
Pandora's website is simple to
use and navigate. Users create "stations" by typing the name of their
favorite artist into "Pandora's box"
and letting the Genome Project take
over. Users can create and refine as
many stations as they want by banning artists that aren't quiteright,or
bookmarking artists that are spot
on.

dora's arsenal of musical expertise
is the Pandora Video Series. The
videos investigate various production techniques, explore worldfamous venues, and highlight the

Why O-Team may
be the place for you
BY KRISTINA LAWLER
Business Manager
As a transfer student, I came into
Cal State San Marcos knowing no
one. I knew I wanted tofinda way
to be involved on campus somehow and as I sat through my own
orientation, Ifiguredout how.
Orientation Team reminded me
of something I did back in high
school called Link Crew.
Link Crew is aprogram that helps
incoming freshmen by assigning
them to upperclassmen as a sort
of mentorship program. O-Team
is similar experience except you
do not have to be junior or senior
to join, so even freshmen can join
in on the fun. Not only does it look
great on resumes because it is volunteer work, but you get the satisfaction of being involved with an
organization that actually makes a
huge difference on campus.
If you don't believe me, just ask
one of your fellow advisors how
much they appreciate the help that
O-Team gives them during orientations. O-Team won Campus Organization of the Year for the past
two years in a row.
Over the summer, O-Team
helped 1,643 incoming freshmen,
1,032 transfer students, and even
helped out 838 family members.
If you think those people don't
remember, think again. O-Team
got its start in 1991/1992 and has
since grown to about 43 students
this past year.
I was fortunate to be one of
them.
O-Team also gives students
the chance to meet some of the
most awesome faculty members
on campus. The SLL office holds
some fearless leaders who really
are there for you in good times and
bad. O-Team is a great way to help
build your leadership skills and
make great friends along the way.
Yes, O-Team requires a lot of your
free time, however, most of the
time you spend hardly seems like
work at all because you are having
such a great time.
O-Team also gives you the
chance to obtain knowledge about
the campus that you might not have
found out otherwise. If all that isn't
incentive enough to join, did I
mention that you get to go on not
one but two retreats over the course
of the year.
I, for one, am saddened by the
fact that I will be unable to return
to O-Team this year due to time
constraints, but I encourage all of
you to at the very least find out
some more information about joining one of the best organizations
on campus. It was one of the most
satisfying experiences of my life.
O-Team will be hanging around
Kellogg Plaza from 12pm-lpm
on the following dates: September 16th-18th and the 22nd-23rd
so go talk with them and if meeting them is not enough there will
be informational sessions held on
the following dates: Tuesday 9/16University Hour, Craven 3701;
Thursday 9/18- 6pm-7pm, UVA
classroom; Monday 9/22- 5pm6pm, Craven 3701; Wednesday
9/24- 12pm-lpm, Commons 206;
Thursday 9/25- University Hour,
Craven 3701.
So if you find yourself wanting
to get involved on campus and that
you yourself had a great experience
at orientation, then I encourage you
to pick up an application and join.
sounds.
It's difficult to admit that such
an esoteric, theoretical approach
to why people love certain music
works so efficiently.
The Music Genome Project's
founder, Tim Westergren, urges
participants to continue in their
exploration of the musical universe
and not think too much, imploring
members to "Sit back, relax, and
enjoy the music—that's the point."

Frozen Grand Central
Protest or acting class?
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
What might happen i f207 people suddenly
and inexplicably froze stiff in the middle of
Grand Central Station? Get ready tofindout.
New York-based comedy troupe Improv
Everywhere's Youtube channel currently
hosts a video called "Frozen Grand Central."
In just over two minutes, viewers experience
secondhand emotions ranging from disbelief
to absolute hilarity at this no less than wondrous social experiment
The video begins with a bird's-eye view of
Bryant Park and one of Improv Everywhere's
"agents" bellowing ridiculous instructions
from a bullhorn.
The plan is for over 200 people to synchronize their watches andfreezein place for
exactlyfiveminutes in the middle of the largest train station in the world while perplexed
onlookers go about their day.
Suddenly, at 2:30PM, average people
bizarrely become statues. Strangers begin
talking to each other, laughing at the spectacle presented by this secret slapstick company. Regular commuters to and from New
York certainly come across strange sights, but
what could this be? "They stopped what they
w e r e doing and stood, like,frozen,"remarks a
young woman to her friend.
An undercover agent chats up a disturbed
family
man,
asking,
"How
long has this
been going on?"
A Grand Central attendant in a
maintenance cart
honks his horn
and complains to the comedians with no luck.
Then, the Improv agents nonchalantly go
about their business once again to roaring
(and confused) applause.
As one of over 70 missions, Improv Everywhere has almost a cult following in and
around New York City.
In August of 2001, Charlie Todd founded
the group after he and a few college friends
decided to prank a bar in the West Village.
Todd posed as the musician Ben Folds, and
within three hours, he was drinking on the
house.
Improv Everywhere's global counterpart, Urban Prankster, covers other acts of
comedy genius outside of New York City.
Most recently, an annual prank called "the
MP3 Experiment" has just announced dates
in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
By the way, Improv Everywhere's slogan is
"We cause scenes"; now it all makes sense.

One of the best traits about the Coen
Brothers is their absolute love of making
films. This is seen by the fact that since
they have entered the filmmakers' scene in
the early 1980's, they made a film almost
annually. So even after they won Best Picture for "No Country for Old Men," they
continued with their work.
Their latest work, "Burn after Reading"
is another treat from these film geniuses.

an overly impacted program, Mike
opted instead to leave his hometown
for a new venture south ofhis normal
stomping grounds. Even though
Mike was still in Socal, moving out
of Pasadena and being on his own
carried with it an incomparable feeling of accomplishment.
Now a Senior and Kinesiology
major, Mike goes to school Monday
through Friday in near 9-5 fashion. In between his full course load,
Mike somehow manages to perform 2-3 gigs a week. His passion
for DJing and production has proven
to be a lucrative one thus far, and
because of that Mike has been able
to make music his job.
For as long as music and DJing
have been a part of Mike's life, he
makes clear efforts to stay ahead
of the curve. While like most DJs,
Mike has moved awayfromlugging
around crates of vinyls in exchange
for the more versatile vinyl emulators, Mike has still managed to stay
ahead of the curve. Wary of not getting too comfortable in an industry
saturated with traditional DJs, he has
moved forward into the less populated realm of Video DJing (VJing).
With technology improving the
affordability and accessibility of
Video Djing equipment, Mike Strip
has been able to participate in growing movement to cross the medium
of music with video in Uve settings.
VJing may require twice the skill,
but Mike hasn't backed down from
the challenge, making VJing a staple
ofhis act.
Keeping that innovative edge
sometimes requires reinventing yourself, and that is just what Mike Strip
is doing these days. Most recently,
Mike Strip has revamped his image
to make himself a more pronounced
presence in the DJ world. Mike also
plans on releasing his first album
later this month, giving fans of his
performances a whole new experience. But Mike is just looking at it as
a chance to showcase his hard worksome 8 hours a day for 2 months

It his work as a producer and not
just as a DJ that could launch his
career to the next level. In the past,
his work has appeared on television
networks like CBS, NBC, and Lifetime, but it is his newest venture into
production that Mike seems most
excited about.
At this point in his career, there
seems to be nothing but limitless
potential for this young and skilled
entertainer. Mike stands to become
a commanding presence in the music
and entertainment industry, and
CSUSM students should be excited
to have a guy like Mike around
campus. Although his aversion to
the club scene has kept him from
committing to any one venue, its safe
to say that DJ Mike Strip Wereski is
CSUSM's resident DJ.

SPEED RACER
GRADE: DThis chick flick offers nothing. There is nothing unique
about this run of the mill rom-com. It is predictable and
formulaic, as seen in the trailer, which reveals most of the
| movie. I will take an hour andfortyminutes of your life
and give you only hackneyed jokes and poor storyline. It
relies too much on the names of it's stars, so steer clear of
this one.
GRADE: D
Thisfilmfloppedbig time in theaters this summer, lasting
only a few weeks on wide release. This delivers only flashy
colors and special effects. Other than that, it is a long,
disengaging exercise by the Wachowski Brothers. They put
too much into the visual, and no effort towards a plot. It raises
a question of how they managed to make "The Matrix."

�CSUSM's Coalition for Women's Prisons
to hold vigil in front of Vista jail
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On December 2, CSUSM's chapter of
Coalition for Women's Prisons will hold
a vigil in front of Vista Jail for a woman
who recently died. Professors Jodi
Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders
of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its
beginning stages on campus and it aims
to expose the inequality of prisoners in
women's prisons.
In 1995 the California Coalition for
Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area
when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate
sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women
in prison.
Since 1999, Lawston has been involved
with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women
in prison, social justice movements,
and resistance to oppression within the
prison system. According to Lawston,
nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most
of the women were in their 30s or 40s
and died from such illnesses as asthma
attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of
these women lived and suffered with the
illnesses without knowing they were ill.
After their deaths, officials found that
the illnesses were explicitly stated in
their files and that they had been denied
of proper medical treatment. Following
this situation, the legislator decided that
something had to be done, but until this
day, nothing has been accomplished in
forwarding a better health system for
women in prison.
When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are
an isolated group of people, they're not
heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea
is that people in prison did something
wrong so they deserved to be punished."
Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to
poor medical care."
The improper treatment of women in
Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon
Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the
California Coalition for Women Prisons.
Lawston says, "We are striving to raise
awareness of the major problems and
human rights violations that occur in the
criminal justice system everyday; from
racial profiling to the lack of adequate
medical care. Like the mission statement
of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay
Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live,
and advocate for positive changes."
Recently, a young woman, whose
identity is being withheld in respect to
her family, died in the Vista Detention
Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was
arrested and sent to the Vista Detention
Center. Once in jail, she communicated
with her family and told them she was
receiving a blood test because she was
suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health,
she was confined to a medical cell. The
guard on watch could see her through
the window in the door. Two days later,
she began to hyperventilate. A few hours
later, it appeared that she was sleeping
in her bed. A few hours before she was
pronounced dead, she was seen lying on
thefloorof her cell.
When her family met with the medical
examiner, the examiner told the family
that the result of her death would have
to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does
not know the cause of her death.
In remembrance for her death, the
CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the
vigil on December 2 at noon in front of
the Vista Detention Center.
Lawston says, "This made us realize
that little work was being done in North
County around prison abuse, and we
have Vista and The California Institute
for Women right in our backyards. We
also have many students who have family
or friends in prison. We wanted to raise
awareness of this recent death, and on a
larger scale, the abuses that go on in the
prison system all the time."
During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP
will be handing outflowersand lighting
candles in her honor, and they will also
present her family with flowers. Guest
speakers will discuss the healthcare
crisis in California's prisons and jails.
Lawston says, "The knowledge that will
be gained from this vigil is important
because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens,
reflects who we are as a society."

employees.
This massive shortage in the
CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new
opportunities for the CIA. The
CIA travels to campuses across
the nation in hopes of hiring
young, mature college students.
The speakers for the seminar
were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for
the Clandestine Service of the
CIA, and Michael Mow, who is
head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA.
"The primary mission of the
CIA is to collect, evaluate, and
disseminate foreign intelligence
to assist the President and Senior
U.S. government policymakers
in making decisions for national
security. The CIA is not a law
enforcement agency and the CIA
does not make foreign policy,"
stated Dorcy who wanted to
clearly communicate the purpose
of the CIA.
Throughout the seminar a few
key points were stressed by both
Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity,
maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S.
or in Langley Virginia where the
CIA Headquarters are located,
and they are looking for students
with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari,
and Pashto.
The CIA offers a summer
internship for third year college
students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months
prior to entering the program
and must be at least 21 years
of age. Students who currently

Media critic raises
awareness of Katrina victims
BY HEATHER SHEDD
Pride Staff Writer
During University Hour on Thursday,
November 16, Jennifer Porzner brought a
serious issue to the table regarding how
society and political partisanship played
into the portrayal of Hurricane Katrina,
and the aftermath these perceptions had
on the victims of the environmental tragedy.
Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have
appeared in anthologies such as "What
Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect:
Bush's War on Womenl" She founded
Women In Media & News in 2001 and
is the organizer of the National Feminist
Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier
is also involved in many other feminist
organizations and acts as a media critic
regularly.
Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a
mission to reveal what she felt may have
been hidden from the citizens of our nation
as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered
on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina
during its occurrence, as well as its affect
one year later. She opened the discussion
with a reference to the New York Times
headline on the day of Katrina's one year
anniversary, which read "A Year After
Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image."

deadline and will have to wait
until next fall semester to apply.
The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an
entering CIA agent.
To enter the program, all students must apply online at the
CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down
interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a
success then the CIA will send
out a packet to the student. The
packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial
forms and health documents. If
the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA
will then conduct a polygraph
test along with a physical and
psychological evaluation.
Mow said, "You must not have
tried an illegal drug within one
year and not have a history of
financial irresponsibility," Mow
suggested a few things for the
is first recognized in her concern of those
ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but
were so easily disregarded due to a priority
in the seemingly more important affect in
politics. "Notice, there's no word from the
times, by the way, as to whether the victims
have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she
further stated her case that the victims of
Katrina have not received due recognition
for their suffering.
Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial
controversy that our society has always
seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures
from past articles during the hurricane;'
questioning why "Blacks were said to
have 'stolen food' from abandoned places
whereas whites were said to have 'found
food,' though it was the same'concept." She
also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly
Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments,
not only on race, but gender and politics as
well. She then concluded her message with
possible solutions that should, or can be
taken, with high hopes that someday these
solutions may just be put to the test; if only
media would serve what she felt was proper
and adequate information to the people at
large.
Pozner commented that CSUSM was one
of the first campuses in a year to be willing
to hold a discussion of such a controversial
topic as is the media's take on Hurricane
Katrina and politics in America.

Mow.
A career in the CIA has great

Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and
his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with
the CIA outside the U.S., moving

asked by a student if CIA agents

�From UVA, page 1
From CFA PROTEST, page 1
On October 2, a UVA resident, whose identity will remain
undisclosed by The Pride,
posted pictures of their self and
their friends on their Facebook.
com account. A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne
in what is questionably University Village Apartments was
submitted to UVA staff. This
picture would later find those in
it in violation of UVA's alcohol
paraphernalia code.
According to the involved
parties, on the night they were
drinking at the UVA, no incident
report was made by any resident
advisor, nor was there any form
of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member.
Twelve days later, the involved
parties all received a strike from
UVA Resident Director Ryan
McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned
in anonymously. With two more
strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA.
Also according to the parties
involved, on October 13 each
received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a
package" at the front desk. The
same flyer all UVA residents
receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large
to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive
the package they must go to the
front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front
desk to receive the package,
they were informed there was
no package and were all given
a strike notice instead. When
asked why residents received
this particular flyer before
they received the strike notice,
McRae said, u We want to make
sure the residents receive the
notice." McRae described how
last year the UVA staff would
deliver the strike notices to the
residents' apartments but when
that particular resident wasn't
home, the strike notice would
never leave the hands of his or
her roommate.
"On the back of my letter was
a black and white picture of me
and my roommate and our friend
holding a bottle of champagne.
We weren't drinking [from] it;
my friend was just holding it in
[their] hand. My roommates a ll.

got different pictures."
Shortly after receiving the
strike notices, a meeting with
the UVA Resident Director was
scheduled. Each of the residents
held pending strikes against them
and were told that they needed to
schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the
meeting, they were told that the
source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the
meeting, we all admitted that we
had been drinking and we each
received one alcohol strike."
McRae said, "Sometimes we
get envelopes in our box marked
UVA and we won't know what
it is till we open it. It's always
from residents who choose to
remain anonymous." McRae
described that especially last
year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other
resident's photographs found on
Myspace or Facebook accounts.
" I would hate for students to
lose an opportunity with a career
to pictures on their Myspace or
Facebook, pictures they wouldn't
want to see out there."
The undisclosed resident
received a strike because they
were underage and drank alcohol
on UVA property. McRae says,
"When the photograph captures
a resident breaking UVA policy,
then they will receive a strike. It
works the same way if we see a
picture of someone climbing out
of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill
them."
All resident's who receive a
strike regarding alcohol must
attend one alcohol class. The
parties in mention received a
strike because they were underage and they broke the policy
stated in the UVA handbook.
Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and
Paraphernalia section of the
UVA handbook, it reads, "We
do not search for images of
residents drinking, but digital
images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if
it occurs on UVA property."
The undisclosed resident also
received a flyer addressing the
alcohol class. The flyer is titled
Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building.
Bring a piece of paper and a pen.
Good times. If you can't make it,
you will need to write a 6 page
paper on "The Dangers of Binge
Drinking on College Campuses.
See you there!" Below the text
is an image of what looks to
be an intoxicated man holding
a bottle of alcohol. "This letter
was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation,"
said the resident. When asked
. about the flyer, McRae said, "I
want to be fun about it. I know
college kids drink. I get that.
But this class isn't like traffic
school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making
healthy choices that won't have
a negative impact on education.
During the alcohol meetings^?
residents share their experiences with each other. McRae
says, "Students will learn from
each other more than they'll
learn from me."
The resident also commented
that "This doesn't make me want
to live in the UVA again because
I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and
experiencing new things, I feel
like I'm being babysat and every
single thing we do is subject to
punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to
Prominence every weekend, that
the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so
they resort to going somewhere
else where they feel they won't
get in trouble."
What i
of protestors
Armed with signs reading
"Reed, Reed, give the people
what they need" for example, the
large gathering of CSU members
took to the streets of Long Beach
as a smaller group of enthusiasts
entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for
the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower
tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for
CSU executives and the allocation
of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts
for all faculty and CSU staff in
the future. Without being able to
carry out their meeting, trustees
waited in silence with the ensuing
presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with
protests still ringing loud outside.
Unable to coerce the protestors
to leave, the trustees surrendered
and signed the proposed pledge
and exited the building.
Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website,
the President of CFA, John Travis
saysi "Faculty members at every
campus can describe the impact
the bad decisions and misplaced
priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their
students: They are cutting campus
budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento,
L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East
Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after
they have left the CSU," further
explaining, "It's not our nature as
academics to disrupt meetings. But
we have our responsibility to fight
for our students, for the university
and for ourselves and our families.
That responsibility is what moved
us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students
on campus at CSUSM shared this
sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest.
The impact of the spending
made by CSU Trustees is great
as the California State University
system is the largest state school
system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students
each year and employing roughly
40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU
system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The City of San Diego loses its case
against the Medicinal Use of Marijuana
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday state judges ruled
against San Diego County's lawsuit
against California's medicinal marijuana laws. The challenge was filed by
the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop
the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the
proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to
support the Compassionate Use Act,
Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana
for medical purposes. The law requires
counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users
and also maintain a registry of people
who apply for them. The law allows
patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and
"any other illness for which marijuana
provides r elief' to possess or grow
marijuana in small amounts with the
recommendation of a doctor.
Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use
of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And
recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana
Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana
organization, found that 78% of voters
polled in the county opposed the law-
suit.
However, one state, South Dakota,
rejected a ballot measure last week that
would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of
only three counties in California that
have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards
of Supervisors in January filed similar
suits which were consolidated with the
suitfiledby San Diego.
The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of
the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of
marijuana for any purpose overrides
any state law California has passed.
Last June, in a case on a related topic,
the Supreme Court ruled that federal
authorities could prosecute crimes even
in states like California.
Nonetheless, the ruling passed down
by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under
submission. This ruling tentatively
struck down the County's suit after
the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave
oral arguments later that day, but again
did not succeed in changing the mind of the court.
The argument, given by
San Diego lawyer
Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on
states' requirements to fully enforce
federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that
in the view of the court, they were not.
The court's final ruling, which will
most likely remain against the suit, is
expected sometime in December.
While county voters do not appear
to favor the lawsuit, there is a good
chance the County Supervisors may
appeal the courts decision. San Diego
County receives $4.3 billion dollars
from the government, most of which
are federal dollars. By not complying
with federal law, the cash strapped
county could potentially be denied
that money.
Lawyers for Merced County
announced in front of the judge that
the county would appeal the decision
and would be requesting a stay for the
duration of the litigation. San Diego
County lawyers have not yet announced
whether they will appeal the decision
or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change
its mind for the final ruling.

�New doors
opened by Gates
W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new
foreign policy is in place
BY MARTIN GALA
Pride Staff Writer
The elections on November 7
proved that Americans are eager
for change. Democrats reclaimed
power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable
margin, and managed to take
back the Senate by only one seat.
The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's
resignation. While some students
may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause
major changes in the lives of
many students.
Rumsfeld was a principal
member of a small group called
the National Security Council
whose purpose is formulating the
goals and objectives of United
States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain
those goals. As Secretary of
Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was
in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military
branches including the Marines,
Army, Air Force and Navy. This
means that his decisions affected
the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp
Pendleton, Miramar Air Station
and other surrounding bases that
many students and students' families are stationed at.
In recent days, there has been
controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if
he was forced out of the Bush
Administration. The White
House refused to comment about
any actual details pertaining to
the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation
amongst analysts indicates that
the preparations have been on the
minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time.
There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady
Laura Bush, former White House
Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and
not to mention numerous high
ranking Generals that publicly
announced their dissatisfaction of
Rumsfeld's leadership within the
Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to
oust Rumsfeld earlier because
of their close relationship. The
President's loyalty to the former
Secretary of Defense held strong
despite the growing amount of
public criticism over the past few

years over his mishandling of the
war in Iraq.
Soon after Donald Rumsfeld
was forced to resign, the White
House announced that they had
selected a promising replacement.
On November 8, 2006 President
George W. Bush nominated Dr.
Robert M. Gates to be the next
Secretary of Defense. Recently
Dr. Gates was a member of the
Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan
group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and
Lee Hamilton, a former chair of
the House Committee on International Relations. The group was
formed to help make recommen-
dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment
lengths or—even though highly
unlikely—institute a draft.
Robert Gates comes to the
table with a vast understanding on international relations; he
has served under six presidents,
of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of
experience on both the National
Security Council and the Central
Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates
is currently the 22nd President of
Texas A&M University, and will
remain so, until he passes his
upcoming Senate confirmation
hearings.
Many analysts speculate that
Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National
Security Council. After three
years of combat, the Iraq war
has cost the lives of a number
of American troops, including
family and friends of CSUSM
students as well as members of
the North County community.
As the new Secretary of Defense,
Robert Gates will be in charge of
making decisions for the United
States in Iraq, and try to prevent
any further losses.

five classes currently offered are campus job opportunities on the
Spanish, French, German, Japa- site relating to specific language
course interest.
Many professors are excited for
the new upper and lower division
classes and what they will offer
to students. This will increase the
breadth of many of the language
majors and minors and increase
the level of understanding of the
languages and the cultures behind
them. In these courses, teachers
get to watch students grow and
develop specific language skills,
perhaps utilizing their skills later
on to travel the world. Through
the Study Abroad Program on
campus too, CSUSM students
have the opportunity to enter
language programs and travel to
places like Japan and live there
while continuing their study in
school, furthering their grasp of
the foreign language.
For those students who are not
interested in pursuing a degree
or minoring in one of the offered
languages, it is still beneficial
to all students to be aware that
many of the lower-level language
classes can be used to fulfill the
language requirement that is
necessary to graduate. Students
must complete a course or a
test for the course in a language
other than English to graduate.
Every language major and minor
has different professors. Each
is also split up by last name so
that someone with the last name
beginning with 'A' will not have
the same advisor as someone
with the last name of 'Z.' Lucy

�Thanksgiving
websites of the week
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Preparing for Thanksgiving can be a
difficult task. To help simplify the festivities, three Thanksgiving themed websites
have been chosen with information to help
Cougars make the holiday more fun and
less of a hassle. The content of the three
websites should provide enough information and entertainment to get CSUSM Students through their Thanksgiving breaks
relatively headache free.
Celebrate-thanksgiving.com is one of
the "Celebrate Sites." "Celebrate Sites" is
a family of websites owned and operated
by Better Homes and Gardens. The site
features six categories that include; recipes, turkey, entertaining, menus, pictures,
and decorating. The best information this
website offers is a complete user's guide
on how to creatively throw a magnificent
Thanksgiving party. From punch recipes
to table top decorating ideas the website
leaves no detail, no matter how small,
unmentioned. Furthermore, the website
includes a list of common Thanksgiving
oriented questions with clear and concise
answers, from how to deal with bickering
siblings to when to order a fresh turkey.
This website is definitely beneficial to the
avid Thanksgiving host.
Holidays.net/thanksgiving/ is one of the
many sub-pages of the holidays.net web-
site which gives individual pages to each of
the major American holidays. The website
features 13 categories such as The Story of
Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Turkey,
Thanksgiving Blog, Thanksgiving Crafts,
Holiday Home Decorations, Thanksgiving
Greeting Cards, and Holiday Music. This
website helps get Cougars into the Turkey
Day spirit by providing amusing Thanksgiving entertainment such as songs and
computer screensavers. While most of the
content would be best suited for children,
there are also some features of the website that are useful to and fun for people of
all ages. There are also printable images
and free email cards to send to help spread
holiday cheer.
The final website is for those that want
to know more about where Thanksgiving traditions came from. History.com/
minisites/thanksgiving/ features an in
depth history surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. This website provides
accurate information for Cougars who
want to know the real reason for gobbling 10 pounds of food in one day. The
website includes six categories to choose
from which are First Thanksgiving,
Mayflower Myths, Pilgrim Interviews,
Proclamation, a video of the History of
Thanksgiving, and the History Channel's Macy's Parade Float. The website
even offers the History of Thanksgiving on DVD for sale for those that who'd
like to spend the holiday reclining in
their favorite chair, stomach stretched
to infinity and beyond, learning the history of Thanksgiving on DVD. During
the Thanksgiving break visit these three
websites to fully experience the Thanksgiving holiday.

�Letters to the Editor: University Hour
University will lose
life and connections
University Hour creates
better life on campus
It has come to my attention that some
people dislike University hour and that
it may be "done away with." I, one out
of many other voices here at Cal State,
would like to say that I love University
Hour. I love the chances it has given me
to meet new people and get involved
with clubs around campus. It is my only
free hour between class and work that
I get where I can rest, be entertained,
and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and
unfamiliar to the campus and what
it had to offer. I was delighted to find
I am a student attending your University,
here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason
why I'm sending you this e-mail is because
I have heard that there are some disputes
regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year
2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating
a better life on campus, as well as giving
a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of
free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and
people and groups available at a time
where most people weren't in a rush. I
find college to be a busy place, full of
people hustling about to go on with their
own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and
a chance for students settle down for an
hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy
hour our school would loose a lot of life
and connection. Thank you for listening
to my concern.
Christy Curtis
allow students to participate more freely
to club events (since I also participate to
the Global Connections Org.), as well as
encourage more social interaction among
students. For these reasons, I hope that you
will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse
fully the presence of university hour on
campus, and I hope that it will continue to
be a part of my campus life (as well as of
other students).
Thank you for your time.
Roxana Righetti
University Hour provides oppurtunity to
students for inclusion in campus community
COMMUNITY: it's one of five
of the Cal State San Marcos core
values. One that LGBTA works
to fulfill through our shared
commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some
people have stated that they don't
need University Hour, which is
fine. What I find troubling is the
assumption that everyone can do
without it. It seems as though
some of the privileged members of the student body take for
granted what it involves to build
community. In order to facilitate
the benefits of "community," time
must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make
"teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born
into positions of privilege. I have
seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts
community.
Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our
gender, or sexual orientation,
those without privilege may not
know of the resources readily
available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who
are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to
find and use these resources. So,
LGBTA will take full advantage
of the opportunity to work with
other student organizations on
campus and create new partnerI
II
ships.
I would like to thank ASI for
their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour
- without it some of us wouldn't
know the benefits and advantages
of being in a community. Each
student I know on campus has a
busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands
of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future.
Rather than saying "University
*
I
Hour" is a waste of time or that
it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for
everyone. How unfortunate that
some students simply attend class
and leave campus. That single
hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body
so they will not b e isolated from
the communal experience that
defines CSUSM.

�Jock Talk With Josh: Ladainian Tomlinson
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
Of late it seems
like
LaDainian
Tomlinson can't
do
anything
wrong. He is on
pace to break
the NFL regular
B season touchdown
record, and countless other records
by the end of his career. What you may not
know, however, is that this humble man is
capable of a number of other things that
he refuses to brag about, so let me do the
boasting for him.
LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back,
throw the ball down field, and somehow
catch his own pass for a touchdown. He
might even be able to snap the ball and
kick his own extra point
LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry.
He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job
a lot easier. He could probably even save
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us
and doesn't want the world to be inhibited
by any more offspring than the two they
already created.
LaDainian is actually a multi-talented
athlete. He is thinking about entering the
Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was
still active, because he didn't want to beat
Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's
efforts towards curing cancer.
LaDainian is a great scavenger. He
knows how to find even the smallest holes
in an opposing defense and then exploit it.
Give him a flash light and a compass and
he could find Osama Bin Laden before you
could say Tal in Taliban.
LaDainian is a conservationist. He
knows that the mo^t important part of the
game is in the second half, so he saves the
majority of his touchdowns for crunch
time. You know that hole in the O-zone?
Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but
then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T.
is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at
running back.
LaDainian is also a politician. He knows
that if one of his teammates screws up, he
shouldn't throw him under the bus because
he will likely need him in the future. In
2008, LaDainian would run for president,
but he doesn't want the Democrats and
Republicans to fight over which party he
should belong to. So, rather than creating a
further divide between the two parties, he
has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and
has decided to continue dominating the
rest of the NFL.
LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going
places that no other running back has ever
gone before. He has discovered a way for
humans to build a civilization on Mars,
but he also knows that aliens exist, and he
doesn't want to start an intergalactic war.
LaDainian is a detective in his spare time"
as well. He has solved even the toughest
defensive schemes in the NFL. He could
even rid the United States of all crime, but
then thousands of police officers would be
out of jobs.
LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days.

He has cooked up plays on how to score by
catching, running, and throwing the ball.
He» has also perfected cloning on human
beings, but the government wont allow
him to make it public, for fear that if L.T.
cloned himself then the world may implode
upon his greatness.
The only thing left for him to do is to
bring a Super Bowl championship to San
Diego, which from my experiences may
be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

Apple Seed
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The relatives have gathered under one roof, the turkey is
that delectable shade of golden brown, the cornbread stuffing smells like heaven, the candied yams are becoming deliciously intimate with the tiny marshmallows, the cranberry
sauce is the perfect consistency, the mashed potatoes have
been whipped into a frenzy, the fire is lit to ward off the cold
autumn chill in the a ir... Stop right there.
Who's to say it won't be a hot Southern California day
this Thanksgiving? What are you going to do with your
hot chocolate then? Hot apple cider? I don't think so. Then
what? What can the over 21 years old crowd refresh themselves with this holiday season? The answer, my dear reader,
lies in the Apple Seed.
No, I'm not talking about the tiny object jam-packed
with the miracle of life that was made so
famous by
Mr. Johnny Appleseed. I'm referring to
the beverage of the same name that
is jam-packed with the miracle of
flavor.
The Apple Seed is a merry
little drink made from 1 part Jose
Cuervo Especial Tequila, Vi. part
Crème de Cassis, 1 part apple juice, and
one teaspoon fresh lemon juice. The
warmth of the Tequila mixed with the
crisp, refreshingflavorof the apple juice
and the sweet hint of the syrupy currant liqueur that is the Crème de Cassis
delights the taste buds. Mixed in a Collins glass over ice and garnished with a
slice of crisp red apple, this bright garnet
of a drink is sure to be a hit at your holiday gathering.

University Village Apartments plan to double
occupancy in single-rooms by Fall 2006
BY KATIE ROWE
Pride Staff Writer
University Village Apartments
are expected to double the occupancy in single-bedroom dormitories, accommodating eight students in some of the apartments,
beginning in the fall semester of
2006.
University Village currently
consists of three buildings that
offer two kinds of apartmentstyle floor-plans available to students. Both floor-plan apartments
were initially arranged to accommodate four students, giving
students the choice between two
double occupancy bedrooms
with two baths, or four singlebedrooms with two baths. How-
ever, this fall, all students will be
sharing a roommate in the four
bedroom floor-plans, increasing
occupancy at UVA to accommodate an additional 100 students.
According to Lt. Doug Miller,
there are 497 students currently
living on campus in the University Village Apartments. The
additional student residency will
increase to house nearly 600 tenants.
The plan for University Village in fall 2006 is to expand the
occupation in two of its three
buildings, according to Bridget
Blansha, the director of Student
Life and Leadership. The four
bedroom apartments in the two
buildings will be converted to
support six students each. Each

apartment will have two single
rooms and two double rooms.
The bedrooms that will be converted into shared rooms are just
a little more than half the size of
the bedroonTs shared in the two
bedroom floor-plan apartments.

Sandra Punch, event coordinator
for the Etiquette Dinner.
The Etiquette Dinner first
started because of requests made»
by students.
"It is very common for employers to invite prospective employees out for a meal during the
recruiting process, just so they
can see the applicant in a different environment, to see how they
handle themselves," Punch said.
"We found that in having this
dinner, students can go through
the entire dining experience
from start to finish."
Besides finally learning the
use of "that extra fork," the
dinner focuses on mannerisms
and posture. This event has been
organized for five years with
excellent reviews by students,
Nineteen international Japanese students from the American
Language and Culture Institute
are enjoying the campus life at
California State University San
Marcost through a month-long,
all-expense-paid
scholarship
focused on refining English language skills and experiencing
American culture.
To celebrate the conclusion of
their visit and receive participation certificates, the students will
be performing a traditional Japanese dance in Commons 206 on
Friday, March 10, from 2:00 to
2:30 p.m.
The students attend Osaka
Gaigo Yumiuri College of International Business in Japan, and
their participation in this program, CSUSM's American Culture Experience, is an educational requirement for Japanese
students while enrolled in their
second year of college.
The program "prepares international students for study in a U.S
university or college," according to the ALCI website. Visiting CSUSM provides students
with the resources to enhance
their English skills. During their
stay, students are able to take
advantage of the many resources
offered on campus, including the
opportunity to use facilities, such
as the Kellogg Library, the Clarke
Field House and the University
Village Apartments. In addition
to these facilities, ALCI students
work with helpful and friendly
instructors, most of which hold
advanced degrees and have
extensive experience in English
language education, to enhance
language skills.
While academic study and
language proficiency is highly
stressed, the students participating in the American Culture
Experience also attend various
activities outside the classroom.
Recently, the students have been
to Disneyland, Sea World and
Dixon Lake Park. Their monthlong visit and study in San
Marcos will conclude this Friday
with a certificate ceremony and
performance.
Many students participating
in the program agreed that the
campus experience has been positive and educational. Several students commented that direct contact with native English speakers
has improved their own language
abilities and provided opportunities to gain new friendships. And
naturally, many students spoke
of the region's exceptional South-
era California weather and about
meeting friendly people.
"This experience is my treasure!" said Aya Tomita. One of
Tomita's favorite stops during
her visit was the Carlsbad outlet.
"There were many shops. I think
I will never be tired of them, even
if I walk around a whole day!"
While most of their experiences during their visit have been
positive, some students expressed
some feelings of culture shock.
Many agreed that American cuisine has been difficult for them to
adjust to. Lack of personal transportation^ such as having a car,
also posed some challenges.
"I noticed that it's difficult to
make myself understood," said
Photo courtesy of ACLI
Manabu Yamane. "I expected
that I could speak more fluently."
Their month-long visit and
study at Cal State San Marcos
has definitely been filled with
learning experiences. The students expressed feelings of reaffirmed values, personal growth
and formulation of future goals.
Because of their time here, many
have learned the value of good
communication, friendship, and
family. Some students have also
decided that they want to study
abroad in other countries as well.
"The most important thing that
I have learned so far is to be flexible, and try everything I'm interested in," said Aya Okada. "Time
flies unbelievably fast."

�March celebrates Women's HER-story Month
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
ASI will sponsor a Sex Toys
Workshop in celebration of
Women's History Month, among
many other planned events and
activities to take place in support
for the campus series of Women's
HER-story Month celebration.
This workshop has been one
of the most popular events each
year, and this year is expected
to be no different. The Sex Toys
Workshop is free for students and
the general public. The event is
scheduled for Tuesday, March 7,
and will be held in Commons 206
at 7 p.m.
"Sex Toys was packed during
the last year's workshop,"
explained Cheyenne Bany director of Women's Issues. "We
couldn't get a bigger room this
year, so come early."
The workshop is not just any
ordinary presentation, but an
enticing sexual education lesson,
complete with props. The night
will begin with a lecture on sexual
anatomy with Dr. G and Passion
Party expert, Crystal Folk.
"Students will learn more
about themselves, and find alternative views for their bodies,"
said Barr.
The second part of the night
will be a Tupperware party,
except there's no Tupperware,
mentioned Barr. The audience
will get to preview some sex toys
and learn how to use them. Then,
at the end of the night, there will
be a free raffle to win a few of
the toys and a chance to buy the
items that were showcased.
Following the workshop,
the next Women's HER-story
event will be the movie, "North
County," detailing the major
Sexual Harassment case: Jenson
vs. Eveleth Mines. The event will
be at 8 p.m. at the "The Clarke."
Women's HER-Story Month
has a variety of other events to
offer students this year. Although
there are many returning popular
previous events, such as Sex Toys
Workshop and a performance
from Slam poet Bridget Gray, the
month-long celebration will feature new events and have a different focus this year.
"This year is focused on race
and cultural issues," said Barr.
"Over half of the events are of
women from a different culture,
different country, or different
faith."
However, this wasn't preplanned for the theme. This year,
there has been an increase of
support for Women's HER-Story
Month from different departments and student organizations
who wanted to bring their per-

lived in University Village.
However, Blansha assures, "If you look
at the size of the personal space, it is still
much larger than the average size, compared with other universities."
While some students are concerned
that doubling up will increase conflict
arid other problems in University Village,
campus officials aren't worried.
"Statistically, 100 more people will have
a minimal affect on safety in the dorms.
Sixty-six percent of the students on
campus are female, and females are statistically less violent," said Lt. Miller.
According to Blansha, the task group
working to increase the number of students has analyzed the effect that this
increase may have. After lengthy discussions and talking to other universities that
have implemented similar changes, the
task group concluded that the change will
spectives to the table.
Arts and Lectures and ASI
will also be presenting LUNAFEST 2006, an event showcasing a
national film festival with short
films by, for, and about women.
LUNAFEST will be held on
Thursday, March 9, in ARTS 240
at 2:30 p.m.
On Friday, March 10, the new
fundraiser for ASI Women's
Center is the LUNAFEST Anniversary Fundraiser. This event is
the five-year anniversary edition
of LUNAFEST and is sponsored
by the USUAB, Arts and Lectures, ASI, the Women's Studies
Program, and the Student Life
and Leadership Multicultural
Program.
"I hope that this will become an
annual tradition as ihe fundraiser
for the ASI Women's Center,"
said Barr.
Before the films start, there
will be an auction and a wine and
cheese reception. This fundraiser
is the only event that's not free to
the public. The entrance donation for Cal State San Marcos
students is $15. Other attendees
are required to pay $25. Attendees must purchase in advance, at
Commons 207. This event will
be held in "The Clarke" Grand
Salon at 6 p.m.
On Tuesday, March 14,
Giovanna Chesler will show her
have an overall positive affect and that
steps will be taken to avoid conflicts.
As the number of students living on
campus increases, the number of staff for
the housing will also increase. There will
be more Resident Assistants to help students avoid and resolve conflict and to help
them adjust. The RAs will also be focused
on getting students involved with campus
life.
The reason for doubling-up room occupancy is due to University President Karen
Haynes' mission of making increased
enrollment and student life a key priority for
her administration. This past fall and spring,
Cal State San Marcos exceeded its target
enrollment and is anticipating a growth of
more than six percent in Fall 2006.
At this point, the only option to accommodate more students is to double-up
occupancy until 2010, when more student-housing is scheduled to be available,
according to Blansha.

of Menstruation?" He will be
addressing the issues of birth
control which allow women and
young girls to stop their periods for great lengths at a time.
This presentation will be held in,
ARTS 240 at 6 p.m.
On Wednesday, March 15,
there will be a lecture by Ibtesam
A1 Atiyat on women, Islam, and
politics in the Arab world. This
event will be held in UNIV 370
at 11:30 a.m.
On Thursday, March 16, there
will be a performance from Linda
Pershing's class, presenting their
projects through dance, spoken
word and artwork on their experiences of oppression in sexism
and racism. This event will be
held in ACD 304 at 11:30 a.m.
On Monday, March 20, the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender Student Organization (LGBTSO) will be presenting "Inside Out-LGBTSO's Drag
Show." This will be a celebration
of breaking out of gender roles
with professional and local ¡drag
stars. This event will be held in
"The Clarke," Grand Salon at 12
p.m.
One of the most important
events, according to Barr, will
be "In Your Face," an awareness
event that brings education about
violence against women, hosted
Diane Malone, associate director of Planning Design and Construction, explained
that the state does not pay for student housing, so it must to be self-sufficient.
The process to build more housing on
campus is not an easy one, according to
Blansha. The process begins by conducting market studies, which analyzes things
such as the need for housing and what kind
of housing would be best. The study also
takes student opinion into account. This
step of conducting a market study is currently taking place. After a plan is formed,
it needs to go through a lengthy approval
process through the Chairman's Office.
Phase two of student housing won't necessarily be apartment complexes.
On campus housing is one major way
to get students involved with the campus,
and Blansha agrees that the increase in
residency at UVA is one of the approaches
to increasing the campus's major goals to
enhancing student involvement.
on Tuesday, March 21. The day is
divided into four features. At 10
a.m. in the Library Plaza, many
organizations and programs will
present global issues of violence
against women. At 11:30 a.m. in
ACD 102, a panel of representatives from different faiths will
discuss women's contributions
from different religions. At 4 p.m.
in "The Clarke," Grand Salon,
Katherine DeGrow will speak
about women's place in Christianity. To close, "The Clarke,"
Grand Salon will feature the
movie "Memoirs of a Geisha," at
8 p.m.
Women's HER-Story Month
will conclude its festivities on
Thursday, March 23, with Dr.
Lorraine Bayard de Volo lecture on how war and peace are
implicated for women. This event
will be held in the "The Clarke,"
Grand Salon at 11 a.m.
"I really hope that we get more
turnouts to give more awareness," said Barr.
Although Women's HERStory Month is only celebrated
in March, ASI Women's Center
is hoping that the celebration will
b e year-round,
"It's been a year-round support
for women's issues and gender
related issues," said Barr. "I hope
to make HER-Story Month into
HER-Story Year."

beverages. It is only upon the sale of
alcohol to the minor that police officers
are able to make an arrest.
"The program gives CSO's the
chance to participate in something
new, making the job more exciting,"
said Miller. In addition to providing
more opportunity for CSO students,
the program is another outlet through
which campus police can work to alleviate problems with alcohol on and
around campus.
Last week, CSUSM police made two
DUI arrests; both incidents involved
the drivers exceeding the legal blood
alcohol limit by nearly three times the
amount.
With St. Patrick's Day approaching,
campus police strive to ensure student
safety by educating the campus on the
effects of alcohol, and eliminating sales
to minors by local vendors.

THE PRIDE
Women's her-story month starts off 'Gray'
Slam poet brings
performance to
CSUSM
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
ASI hosted its first of many events for
Women's Her-Story Month last Thursday,
March 2. With her fist in the air, Slam Poet
Bridget Gray closed the night with a performance dedicated to her gender.
This was Gray's fourth year performing
at Cal State San Marcos, now before a full
audience, half familiar with her work, half
just getting ready to meet her.
The night began with a small introduction, where Gray emphasized her last
name, taken from her mother's second
husband and kept not merely for her half mons presents Def Jam Poetry," but most

was quiet and private.
Her Slam poetry style is reminiscent of
"I had mixed feelings because the stanmany featured on HBO's "Russell Sim- dards were very rigid," explained Gray.
Photo by Rachell Reyes / The Pride
"They had an outline instead of letting me
write in my own voice."
She then remembered one of her Communications teachers. While she was reciting a poem, the teacher had made a racial
comment about how black people spoke.
When Gray had said the word "earth," the
teacher mentioned that black people said
"urf."
"It was a stereotype," said Gray. "How
could a teacher say something like that?
This was supposed to be higher education.
I've always had good articulation."
After that experience, school wasn't
quite the same.
"School didn't necessarily feel like a safe
place to put my guts on paper for a teacher
to grade," commented Gray. "Which is
ironic, because I do Slam."
One of her most memorable pieces that
night was her "Letter to Hip-Hop." This
poem had actually landed her a stint on
Simmons's show, but she was urged not
to perform that piece. She went ahead
and performed it anyway. Unfortunately,
the episode did not air, but she will never
forget the audiences' intense reaction. And
even though the performance did not earn
her any money, Gray surely grew spiritually from the experience.
Students at this latest performance
heard several pieces from both her albums,
"Shades of Gray" and her most recent,
"Self-Love." A fter wrapping up her last
performance, Gray received a standing
ovation.
"I loved it. I was shocked how much I
loved it," said Mary Rice, a graduating
senior. "She has an amazing presence and
it's definitely an example of how poetry is
made to be read out loud."
Although many students admitted to
attending the event for extra credit, Ngan
Tran and Dulce Santana, both freshmen
and majoring in Women's Studies, were
glad that they came.
"It was very powerful and I think she
could relate to Cal State San Marcos
because sixty five percent are women,"
said Santana. "I'm upset that I never knew
her before."
Gray is hopeful about her future, and a
one-woman show is in the works.
"The sky's the limit. I don't want to put a
ceiling on my potential," said Gray.

Sex Toy Workshop: what to expect
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
The idea of pleasuring oneself sexually is still only comfortable to some. Even though
sex-related topics are discussed
more today than any other time,
there is still a hush-hush nature
about the distribution and use
of sex toys. Nonetheless, Associated Students Inc. is breaking
the silencing with this year's Sex
Toy Workshop. On March 7, in
Commons 206 at 7pm, alumnus
and former ASI Executive Crystal Folk will be presenting her
company's (Passion Parties) best
toys, tricks and tantalizers while
Dr. Jayant Ghiara (otherwise
known as "Dr. G"), who teaches
Human Reproduction, will give
us insider information on sexual
responses and how to push all the
right buttons.
The fun begins when "Dr. G"
gives a half hour presentation on
our sexual response areas. Crystal will then break out her gear
and give us the interactive pass
around of Passion Party toys, each
on sale at the event. In the end,
"everyone who wants something
to bring home will be able to with
some free gift bags and the opportunity to win larger prizes in the
free raffle," said Cheyenne Barr,
Director of Women's Issues.
There will also be insightful
and educational pamphlets covering topics as the history of sex
toys, and information on the different types of material used to
make sex toys and what's best
for each individual. One interesting fact is that the oldest sex toy,
discovered, made of stone, dates
back to 25,000 B.C.E.
Yet, if sex toys have been
around so long, why is the topic
still taboo? According to "The
Invention of Heterosexuality," by
Jonathan Katz, in the Victorian
era, Women's sexuality was only
permitted for procreation. They
were to be "temples of purity
against the monster masturbator." Then in 1860-1892, doctors
began to tell men and women that
eroticism was essential. Our society has come a long way since
then, and having sex toy workshops on campuses, celebrating
in public the freedom of sexuality
for women and men, is a definite
milestone.
In the book "Feminism is for
Everybody," author bell hooks
explains that "many heterosexual men embraced feminist
thinking precisely because they
were unfulfilled sexually in relationships with their partners,
who were not interested in sex
because they had been taught
virtuous women were not sexually active."
The workshop helps women
realize that their bodies aren't
just for the pleasure of men, but
that it is ok to pleasure yourself by shedding a positive light
on women's sexuality. "Talking about sex toys, their different functions and applications,
is a great way to talk about different ways of sex that deviate
from our traditional heteronormative intercourse," says Josh
Harris, last year's women's history month coordinator. The
goal of the workshop, according
to Cheyenne Barr, is "for students to feel comfortable with
their sexual experiences and get
to know the part that our general sex education always leaves
put." The great thing about
workshops like the one being
held on campus, according to
Passionparties.com, is that the
fun environment helps women
feel comfortable discussing their
sexual health, dispelling some

The growing popularity of this
modern twist of a Tupperware
Party' is evident, as it has filled
nearly to capacity the last three
years. To explain why these sex
toy workshops are making such
an impact, Josh Harris said, "Personally, I was amazed at how
comfortable the audience was
with the subject matter. We had
about 250 people in Arts 240, and
when it came time for the Q & A
portion, people were asking the
most personal and private questions in front of 200 or so fellow
students. Yet, no one seemed
awkward about it. I think people
enjoy being able to discuss these
ideas when they feel they are
in an encouraging, sex-positive
environment."
�On Campus: Renowned
underground filmmaker
An evening lost with George Kuchar
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Underground
filmmaker,
George
Kuchar, held a brief seminar last Wed night
in arts 242. Kuchar took the opportunity to
screen some examples of his recent work as
well as to confuse students with his abnormal wit. At least 50 films and hundreds of
short videos bear Kuchar's name, earning
him fame in America's "Underground"
film movement, a genre some say Kuchar
founded in the early 50's, along with artists
like Andy Warhol and Jack Smith.
Further investigation reveals an extensive account of George and his brother
Mike Kuchar's work online at the "Bright
Lights Film Journal" in an article by Jack
Stevenson, "The Day the Bronx Invaded
Earth, The Life and Cinema of the Kuchar
Brothers."
In this article, Stevenson describes the
underground movement of t he 50s to date
as "not a genre but an anti-genre. Underground was an image-negative term that
refuted, denied, and disowned definition
rather than encouraged it. A thing underground was a thing unseen, something
ominously other happening in the darkness. The underground film movement was
never more than a collection of individuals
who never quite collected."
Before the presentation began, Kuchar
sat outside, fumbling through his bag of
FREE
mm
f m jgmi
gs
miniDv tapes, reminiscent of a 94-yearold grandmother, absentmindedly shaking
through a milk crate filled with old family
pictures.
Despite organizer Jonathon Behnan's
concerns of "burning out his speaker before
he hits thé stage," the average person might
have wondered if perhaps Berman should
worry more how 'burnt out' his speaker
was.
Kuchar began rambling out short explanations of the films he was considering
screening andfinallydecided that he would
"get a feel for the audience and then decide
what films they would most enjoy/'
When asked how he felt about the progression of cinematic production technology, and if perhaps elements of the audience, or the art form, were lost in the transition from his early works on 8mm film
to his latest works done with modern editing and special effects, the answer had
very little to do with the question, and
was recited word for word about halfway
through his seminar.
Kuchar responded with a lengthy timeline of the equipment he worked with over
the years: "I started out with an 8mm
camera and had to do all on-camera editing."
Soon, Kuchar says, he received a second
8mm camera and a tape deck. While this
made editing a lot easier, and he no longer
had to edit the films while he shot, he

mostly describes this step in technology as
"a web of wires that went everywhere."
Kuchar now works in the "computer age,"
where all editing and special effects are
done on the computer. Kuchar's perspectives on technology were soon evident as
he described the advancement of film technology as "learning how to push a different button." His personal choice in minDv
cameras is a Sony 1 chip, which he selected
because "a Japanese student told me those
were good, and I figured they know what
they're talking about with that stuff."
Included in the showcase of his most
recent films, Kuchar included his annual
holiday film. This year's entry, entitled
"Holiday Hang ups," stared Kuchar as himself, taking a trip back to his home in the
Bronx to "visit his mother and friends."
One audience memeber described
Kuchar as "the homeless old guy in the
park, who has lost his mind and falls off
the park bench as he yells at you walking
by," later adding, "what really confused me
is why Berman invited this guy here when
half the things he is describing and showcasing are things Berman teaches never to
do with regard to film."
The audience also watched "Heavenly
Feature," Kuchar's yearly tribute to the
weather of the Oklahoma southern plains.
Kuchar describes this film as bringing him
both recognition and controversy. The most
recent entry features breathtaking footage
of the sky and clouds, visions quite foreign
to residents of southern California. These
heavenly images where accompanied by
appropriately scene-setting music, allowing the viewer to get lost in the clouds, if
only for a brief time. The film concluded,
as it had started, with Kuchar talking with
his toy clown puppet, likely leaving many
to wonder, as with the rest of his films, just
what was missed as Kuchar went from the
brilliances of the sky to his toy clown and
his displays ofjuvenile schizophrenia.
The overall message to be learned from
Kuchar, as he puts it, is that "anyone with
$12 and a camera can make a video or
film."
Perhaps the additional message is that,
just because you have $12 and a camera,
doesn't necessarily mean you should make
a movie.

�Succesful Student: Miss San Marcos balances responsibilties
BY DAVID BAUER
Special to The Pride
Sophomore Pilar Sanchez
was crowned the winner of the
2006 Miss San Marcos Pageant
on February 18th. She will be
expected to appear at different
functions in and around the city
for the coming year as a representative of San Marcos. With
midterms approaching, and the
city expecting her to appear at
eight to ten events each month,
most students would find it hard
to juggle the two roles, student
and representative. Ms. Sanchez;
however, seems to have her priorities clear.
"This [pageant] is what I'm
doing now; school, that's for the
rest of my life."
When asked if her new obligations as Miss San Marcos interfered with her student obligations, she replied definitively
that, "it interferes with getting
a job, but not with school ... if
I have to study I just call and
cancel with [the city of San
Marcos]."
While she may now be dedicated to getting her education,
that was not always the case for
this student.
"I just went to college because
it's the 'thing you do' after
highschool," Ms. Sanchez said,
while discussing her reasons for
attending CSU San Marcos. She
also admits that, before attend-
ing college, she was not an especially motivated learner in high
school, "I visited the vice principal several times... that's where
you go when you get in trouble."
But once at CSU San Marcos,
her outlook towards school
changed drastically. While many
students start with the basic sciences, then migrate towards
seemingly easier majors later in
their educational career, Pilar
took the opposite approach. •
During her Freshman year she
found her niche in the biology
department, after a brief stint
as a Communication major,
drawn to both pharmacology
and molecular biology. When
asked about the difficulty of her
classes, her eyes lit up, "I like
my classes... I enjoy my labs. "I
love being able to know things
[other] people don't know", she
explained excitedly. She attributed some of her success as a
student to CSUSM Experience,
a program designed to help
incoming freshmen adjust to the
rigors of college life. "It was like
training wheels for college ... I
needed a helping hand."
Now that she's also found a
voice in the community, she
wants to encourage others to
follow her example.
"I'm more motivated than I ever
was before in my life... and I want
to motivate others," she explains,
"I wish people would appreciate
what We have here more. We have
Photo by David Bauer / The Pride
a good business school, good professors, and the biology department is getting better."
Besides feeling that the
campus benefits students, she
also believes that the school is
great for the community. "It's
great to see a younger group in
San Marcos... younger and more
si
cz
scholarly," which, in her opinion,
is a great asset to the area.
Two weeks after winning the
pageant, with midterms lurking, many students would be
overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the representative
of a city, as well as a student.
Pilar explains that she doesn't
feel "under pressure from both"
sides, but concedes that "maybe
it hasn't hit me yet?' If she does
feel overburdened, she shows no
signs of it, seeming both confident and excited about her roles
as both newly crowned Miss San
Marcos and as a promising student at CSUSM.

�Jock Talk With Josh Women's Bowling
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
This is the 50th article
(48th column) I have written for The Pride. My
first column appeared on
Feb. 17, 2004, and I have
given my opinion on
numerous topics. I have
rarely used this outlet to
facilitate arguments or comment on previous
columns; however, today I feel it is necessary.
In the past 10 days I have received an
unusual amount of email accusing me of
being sexist and homophobic. These accusations are because of the article published two
weeks ago in which I wrote about the Winter
Olympics. Much of the controversy has come
about from this statement, "Anything that
involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece
outfit while dancing on ice to a song called,
"The Swan", is not a sport. The biggest figure
skating star is Johhny Weir, who should just
add a "D" to his last name and call it a day."
Interestingly enough, these accusations
have all been made by women. Here are a
few of my favorite statements.
Jane Sanchez wrote this in a letter to the
editor, "Figure skating is a sport. The outfits that the athletes wear and the songs they
choose to skate to do not determine if it is
a sport. Homophobia is implied with the
comment about Johnny Wier. He is a male
figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport
that people may see feminine, yes, but it
does not mean he is weird."
Elke Mcfarlane seconded the comment from Sanchez, when she said, "Your
remark about figure skating, in particular
about Johnny Weir, could imply that you
are homophobic."
Frankly, people who take homophobia
from my statement about Weir are the ones
who are perpetuating the stereotype that all
male ice skaters are homosexual.
I didn't write anywhere in my article that
I see ice skating as feminine. Sanchez and
Mcfarlane are putting words in my mouth.
I didn't say he was weird because he is a
figure skater. Go read some of his statements about ice skating and tell me those
aren't weird things to say about ice skating.
If you got homophobia from my statement,
then I suggest examining your own viewpoint.
Sanchez continued to say, "Sport as
defined in the book Sports in Society, by Jay
Goakley, is 'an institutionalized competitive activity that involves rigorous physical exertion or the use of relatively complex
physical skills by participants motivated by
internal and external rewards.'"
Sanchez tried to prove her point, but she
is helping me prove my point. What I wrote
was my opinion on what a sport is and isn't.
The key word from the previous sentence
is, "my opinion." What Sanchez stated from
that book is also an opinion. What is a sport
is completely up to each individual interpretation.
This comment comes from Stefanie Zeltner who said, "Having never read any of
your articles before, I certainly hope that
your other articles are much better than this
last one. You need to learn that you need to
back up your articles with some thing called
fact. Sexism and opinions on gender certainly don't count. Since when do journalists have a right to make f un of athletes?"
Well Stefanie, if you had read some of
the previous 47 columns that I have written
for "The Pride," then you might not be calling me a sexist. On April 13, 2004,1 wrote
an article advocating more recognition for
female athletes and on Nov. 1,2005,1 stated
this in an article, "It boggles my mind that
people actually care whether or not a person.
is gay." Also, regarding your concerns about
sports journalists mocking athletes, go read
T.J. Simers from the "LA Times" or go
listen to Jim Rome on 1090 AM and your
question will be answered. Also, regarding
backing up my article with fact. I believe I
did so when I said these Olympics were not
a success in America since American Idol
kicked the Olympics' butt in viewership.
While you're at it, go look at the drop off in
viewership from past Winter Olympics.
I also received some comments regarding
my feelings about events that are based on
the opinion of judges.
Zeltner. said, "You also said that ice
skating should be considered a competition because the results are determined by
the opinion of a judge. Hmmm ... sounds
familiar ... who that has ever gone to a
football game realized that the opinion of
a judge (aka Referee) impacts the result of
the game?"
Melinda Hansen added this to Zeltner's
argument, "These judges know the sport
down to every detail. They have to fulfill a
certain criteria prior to becoming a judge.
They follow strict guidelines and are
knowledgeable about technical maneuvers
that often go unnoticed to viewers."
Diane Nematbakhsh added this about
judges, "The judging of sports in the Olympics is highly technical. Judges must go
through training and certification before
they can step on the Olympic Judging
board."
Zeltner's statement makes me think she
has never seen a football game. Referees
in football facilitate the game. They don't
hand out 10 points for one type of touchdown and five points for a different type
of touchdown, whereas ice skating judges
do exactly that, solely based on their opinion. That is why different judges watching
the same ice skater give different scores,
because it's based on opinion.
As for Hansen and Nematbakhsh statement's about judges, I know judges have an
extensive knowledge of ice skating, but they
still dish points out based on opinion and
the event is solely in their hands to determine who wins. Don't you remember the
ice skating judging controversy in the previous Olympics where some of the judges
were found to be fixing the event?
Let's take a short break with a bit of a
brain teaser. You can find the answer at the
bottom of this column once you're done
reading. Do you know what you get if you
take away the skates from ice skaters?
I have just a few more points before
you find that answer. To all the readers
who took offense to my Winter Olympics
column, learn to laugh and take enjoyment
in life because life is way too short to take
things seriously 24/7/365.1 mean, I started
that column off with, "Dear NBC." Did you
honestly think that was a real letter I sent to
NBC? It's called being satirical.
Finally, I will not continue this conversation through this newspaper. I have
always told emailers that they can meet me
in person to discuss issues they have with
me. To this day, no one has taken me up on
that offer. I won't continue the argument in
future columns because there is no way you
can beat me in the paper because I have a
column and you don't ... neener, neener,
neener. That was a joke. Apparently I have
to say that after every joke I make because
some people take everything literally.

edu and you probably realize now that I will
print what you say so you might want to
think twice.
Here is the answer to the brain teaser:
You get, "Dancing with the Stars" when
you take the skates away from the ice skaters. Don't dare tell me that you consider that
a sport. That was a joke so please don't send
an email saying I have a phobia of celebrities who like to dance.

Ron Pulvers expects
superior performance
New CSUSM soccer coach brings impressive resume
BY ALEX GARIN
Pride Staff Writer
Ron Pulvers, the coach of Cal State
San Marcos premiere soccer team, is
accustomed to winning.
Pulvers galvanized his reputation as
a winning coach at Baker University
and led the Wildcats to five conference championships, three conference
tournament championships, and also
claimed two regional championships.
In addition, he has coached fourteen
players who went on to become "AllAmericans," and was named conference coach of the year four times and
regional coach of the year in 2002.
Pulvers has won over 100 games in
his career in the National Association
for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
and has never experienced a sub .500
season. This impressive record enabled
him to scramble above a very competitive applicant pool, to become Cal State
San Marcos first ever soccer coach.
"Ron rose to the top of a highly competitive applicant pool. He brings with
him an impressive coaching resume,"
said athletic director Dr. Terry Nichols,
in a written statement.
His career began humbly at Midwestern University in Wichita Falls Texas.
However, his enthusiastic approach
to the game of soccer enabled him to
quickly ascend to a position as Head
Coach of Baker University's soccer program in Baldwin, Kan. in 1996.
Pulvers looks at his days at Baker
University fondly. "I can not say enough
great things about Eastern Kansas,"
says Pulvers. "The people of Kansas are
top class, the cities are resourceful, and
the overall quality of life is very high."
However, he looks forward to coaching
in his native Southern Californian atmosphere.
Pulvers' new move will mark a transitional point in his career as a soccer
coach and his life in general. He is relo-
eating from a well-established soccer
program to one in its infancy. Nevertheless, Pulvers is optimistic about the
climate of the Cal State San Marcos athletic department and sees great potential. "The talent level is greater and the
student-athlete pool is deeper in Southern California," Pulvers says.
Despite his optimism, Pulvers recognizes that he will run into some initiatory problems. "The biggest task is
to get the facilities established for the
whole athletic department." Pulvers
further stated, "The winning culture and
the environment at CSU San Marcos are
going to have to be established."
The Cal State San Marcos inaugural
soccer season will not start until the fall,
however, Pulvers keeps himself occupied by recruiting and training candidates for the new soccer teams. He has
never had a losing season before and
plans to keep his reputation as a winning soccer coach intact here at Cal
State. Pulvers is spending his first preseason scouting and recruiting players
on an invitational basis, but will hold an
open tryout for inspiring athletes at a yet
to be determined date.
In a written statement regarding his
move, Pulvers says, "I share the excitement of the university in the growth and
development of a new era in athletics. It
is my goal to develop an exciting brand
of soccer that will produce student-athletes who represent the university with
class, character and spirit." He hopes to
add some new additions to his trophy
shelf in upcoming years and displays an
uncanny enthusiasm for the sport.
Pulvers will coach against Paul Caligiuri's Cal Poly Pomona teams during his
first time on the Cal State sideline. Caligiuri has played in for the United States in
two World Cups and was inducted into
the soccer Hall of Fame.
The highly anticipated season opener
will be held on Friday, August 25 at
5:30 p.m.
�Golf team misses previous coach
BY BRITTANY GOEHRING
Special to The Pride
The CSUSM Cougar's golf teams lost
Coach Hanover two days before the 2005
fall semester began. He was placed on
administrative leave, according to President Haynes, at the request of Athletics.
When the teams met for the f irst time
last semester at a mandatory meeting, we
were instructed by the Athletic Director
NOT to have any contact with Coach
Hanover. We were told that he was not
under suspension for sexual harassment
or misappropriation of f unds, but rather
had been placed on leave due to a personnel conflict in the Physical Education
Department.
This conflict placed the Women's Golf
team in jeopardy, and we were directly
and negatively affected by his removal.
Several players have considered leaving the team due to conflicting coaching
strategies that have more or less found the
team scrambling for leadership.
The ladies have been kept in the dark
pertaining to the allegations against
Coach Hanover. Letters have been sent to
the President's Office in his behalf. We as
a team have collectively attempted to meet
with President Haynes' office since last
semester, to no avail. We were told that
the president is very busy and not always
available to speak with students regarding
their concerns. Even parents have tried
contacting the President's Office, only to
have their questions referred to the Athletic Director's (A.D.) office.
It just seems like nothing is being done
to keep the program together the way it
was prior to Coach Hanover's removal.
Finally, a fter repeated requests, we have
now been granted an appointment with
the president to express our concerns.
But all along the A.D.'s office, which
is in charge of this investigation, has
attempted to p acify us with statements of
support for Coach Segura, and to d iffuse
our support for Coach Hanover. These
actions by the A.D. have caused the team
to be split, and any type of comradery
which we had in the past has been undermined by this conflict. We will continue
our efforts to get Coach Hanover back
until justice is done.
Last month the first days of Coach
Hanover's arbitration hearing were held
and the A.D. gave his side of the story.
The A.D. who is in charge of filing this
discipline against our coach is also the
Cougar's liaison to the President's Office.
We , • as students and athletes, are concerned over this procedure. How can that
be possible? Isn't that a conflict of interest? What code of ethics is the Athletic
Department operating under? Are we the
only ones to see that the A.D. representing
the president at the hearing is not right?
The plight of our team is serious, and our
season is at great risk. Coach Hanover
needs our support and we need his expertise in running a successful golf program.
This is why we are requesting an end to
the deliberation, a decision be made, and
the program facilitators bring back Fred
Hanover. We will fight to the end to make
our voices heard and to let everyone know
what is really going on here. We do appreciate CSUSM as an outstanding institution
of higher education, but what's happening
in the golf program these days teaches all
of us the wrong lesson.
Bumper Oars: College Edition
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
The student population at CSUSM
is split into two main categories, the
day students and the evening students.
Between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6:30
p.m., the two crowds collide into a chaotic dance I've entitled, "The Parking
Lot War."
There are three basic characters in
this dance. The "Hunter" stalks prey
with their vehicle, hoping to swoop
in on the prey's parking spot. If the
prey wanders too far from the Hunter's desired parking range, the Hunter
speeds off in search of new prey to
creep up on and leaves the old prey
inhaling exhaust fumes.
The "Chicken King" parks his or
her car at the beginning of the desired
parking aisle. The Chicken King claims
the aisle by refusing to move until a car
pulls out of a parking spot he or she
deems desirable. If other cars in search
of parking spots pull up behind the
Chicken King, or if a car parks at the
end of the parking aisle, the Chicken
King will hold his or her ground and
refuse to budge. If the car at the end of
the aisle refuses to budge as well, the
game of "chicken" commences. Once a
car pulls out of a spot that the Chicken
King and the challenger would like to
park in, engines rev and it's a mad dash
to get to the parking spot first, pull in,
and park.
Lastly, there's the "Snake" parker.
This person scavenges the parking lot
in search of another parker waiting
patiently for a car to pull out of a spot.
As soon as the person pulls out, the
Snake pulls into the stall from the other
direction, nonchalantly parks his or her
car and walks to class, ignoring the
words of f ury the patient parker hurls
at him or her.
The various prey have learned methods to try and distract or avoid the
Hunter, Chicken King, and Snake. They
can weave in and out of parked vehicles
to confuse parkers or pretend to be near
a vehicle that is their own then, as a
parker approaches, walk away towards
either another pretend vehicle or to their
actual vehicle. Prey can also sit in their
vehicle for fifteen minutes or however
long it takes the waiting parker to give
up, and then pull out of the parking spot
as the parker impatiently speeds off.
Each parking aisle is probably 10
feet in distance from the next aisle.
There are about six aisles in any given
campus parking lot. Is it really more
strenuous having to walk 20 more feet
to get a parking spot rather than driving around for 30 minutes trying to
find one "closer"? Of course there are
exceptions, and I understand not everyone is in the best condition to walk more
than necessary. If everyone parks at the
first stall they see instead of "cherry
picking" for stalls 10 feet closer to the
campus, there would be more spots
available for the exceptions that really
do need to park closer, and there'd be
less parking lot anxiety build up.
So if you're a Hunter, Chicken King,
or Snake, maybe you need to re-evaluate why parking 10 feet closer is more
important than getting to class on
time.

Just as Italian is the language of love, Italian cuisine
is the food of romance. Well,
maybe not officially, but it's
definitely scrumptious. Luckily, there's a little bit of Italy
right down the street on San
Marcos Blvd. and Grand,
called Johnny Carino's.
Upon entering, I noticed
the seating was plentiful and
diverse with options such as
comfy bar seats, four cornered
tables, open booth tables, and
curtains that can be pulled for
privacy.
As I enjoyed my cuisine,
bubbly waiters and waitresses stoppeci by to ensure

it, and brought her a new dish.
The manager's lighthearted
and animated presence created an enjoyable experience as
she hustled from table to table,
joking and making sure everyone was taken care of.
As busy as the restaurant
gets, it manages to remain
spotless in the dining room and
bathroom. The heavy wooden
doors and wicker baskets gave
the restaurant a cozy atmosphere. Johnny Carino's effortlessly promotes an experience
of being not in a restaurant, but
over at a friend's house. The
customer can feel comfortable
and relaxed, with prices ranging from only about $10 for
main courses and about $7 for
appetizers.
The food is amazing, customer service is excellent, and
the atmosphere brings it all
together.

For less than the price of an
average CD, kids can bring their
live-band-loving friends to San
Diego for a smorgasbord of punk
shows; besides, who buys their
music these days?
On Sunday, March 12, New
Jersey band
" Saves
Day" will be playing the House
of Blues, along with Circa Survive, Moneen, and Pistolita. For
$15 you can see this amazing
set of musicians play, previewing their new album, due out in
April. Their soft sound and distinct acoustic melodies have
been around since 1998, and
their music varies and improves
with time. If you are a secret emo
fanatic, you will gladly be a part
of this crowd.
Closer to Saint
Paddy's Day, you will find something a little darker at Soma.
"Black Dahlia Murder," named
after the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, the "Black Dahlia"
has a sound to match their name.
Those in desperate need of a good
scream need to show up at the
main stage at 7 p.m. to witness
this "melodic death metal" in
person. Their show also includes
Throwdown, The Red Chord, and
The Agony Scene. The event is
on Friday and will cost you $13,
a small price to pay to bring the
morbid and deliciously dark
side of you out to play.
If you are looking for a
place where you can find an
addictive
chorus, genuinely sentimental
lyrics, amazingly fresh riffs, with
just the hint of a good scream,
then Soma will also be the place
for you on Wednesday, March 22.
Emery, a band full of "Southern
Carolina boys," wanting nothing
more than to pour their hearts
out on stage, will be playing this
venue -with Anberlin, Far Less,
The Classic Crime, and Jonezetta.
For $13 you can hear songs such
as Ponytail Parade, Walls, and
The Secret on the main stage.
Scrounging up the $8 would be
worth it to catch The Higher along
with Lydia, Those Green Eyes,
and Killing Moon, on Thursday
March 30. Their instantly likable
sound will pull you in and k eep
Their sound takes on an emo feel,
yet something is different. Their
bassist Jason Centero has a background in hip-hop and R&B, so
they bring a whole new backbeat
to the typical emo sound. They
also touch slightly on a techno
sound, which fits surprisingly
well into their set. If you want to
hear some music you can relax to,
this is the perfect way for you to
end your week.
Those nights of boredom this
March don't have to mean logging on to myspace anymore.
Live shows are the perfect cheap
and accessible night out. If you

How To... Satisfy lato night cravings
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
After a long night out dancing,
socializing, drinking or heaven
forbid, studying, there is nothing better then seeking out your
neon sign of choice. That's right,
the infamous 2 a.m. food run.
There's nothing more satisfying
then finding your own personal
brand of solitude in a paper wrapper.
We are all guilty of giving i n to
our growling stomachs, regardless of what time it is, and heading out to our favorite eatery for
greasy foods we all adore. Sorry,
but peanut butter and jelly on
white, you just don't cut it when
it comes to a late night cravings.
So where do you go when the
clock strikes 2 and the bar is closing?
Well, the students here at Cal
State San Marcos had their own
ideas about their late night oasis.
However their tastes didn't stray
far from one student to the next.
The places we absolutely cannot
live without in the middle of the
night are taco shops (what would
we do without them?) and Denny's.
Now, everyone has his or her
favorite taco shop. Alberto's,
Albertacos, Antonio's. What is
not to like? Burritos that weigh
as much as your head, long lines
of college students eagerly awaiting their fix of choice, menus that
are bright enough to burn your
retinas for a good ten minutes,
and the voice behind the box that
never, ok almost never, gets your
order right. It is pure heaven.
So why do we endure the conditions of the ever-busy taco shop?
Where else can you show up with
a dollar and a smile and leave
completely
happy?
After speaking with a few of
our midnight munching males
and females here on campus,
I found that I was not the only
one involved in a romantic liaison with the California burrito
from Santana's Mexican Grill on
San Marcos and Pacific. "Santana's fulfills every void in your
stomach at the wee hours of the
morning," said Adam Bishop.
"The California burrito rocks my
socks."
There is also the famous known
green and yellow sign which we
have all searched desperately for
in the middle of the night. The
nearest Denny's to campus, on
San Marcos Blvd., can provide
any gung-ho breakfast fanatic
with a greasy slice of heaven they

desire. "Denny's $3.99 Grand
Slam, you get everything on one
plate," said Jeremy Decker. The
Grand Slam includes two buttermilk pancakes, two eggs any
style, toast, and two pieces of
bacon and sausage. Denny's has
something to offer for everyone,
including meat lovers, traditional
country biscuits and gravy, and
don't forget the Fabulous French
Toast Platter.
From the 24hr drive thru at
the McDonald's at Knoll and
San Marcos, to the Winchell's
Donuts on Valley Parkway in
Escondido, we all have our own
recipe for the gut-bomb we so
desire. So, the next time you
need to kill that craving, keep
these fine late night dining establishments in mind.

BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
Dr. Sharon Elise shared statistical facts
and public misconceptions about the racial
discrimination generated toward the poor
black communities of New Orleans and
neighboring affected areas. Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina
victims are overwhelmingly black, with
In an effort to promote extra-curricular
engagement in the students of Cal State
San Marcos, the Associated Students,
Inc. began the process of implementing
a University Hour. A University Hour is
defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no
classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time
for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study
groups to convene.
"University Hour, which will
strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San
Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular
engagement while promoting Cal State
San Marcos Core Values," said Marc
DeGuzman, ASI president and chief
executive officer.
The National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that
Cal State San Marcos students cite lack
of co-curricular engagement as a main
reason for leaving our campus. University
Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to
actively address our low retention rates
by providing opportunities for the entire
campus community to engage all students
in co-curricular programming.

Blaming Victims
Misconceptions about alcohol on campus
Cal StatefSan Marcos is
not a fdiy campus
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Recent news articles published in The
Pride newspaper have given the impression that Cal State San Marcos is a 'dry
campus' prohibiting the consumption of
alcohol on the campus property. Dean of
Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to
be rectified.
"Any and all locations, with the exception of classrooms, could be reserved for
events where alcohol could be drunk," said
Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies
deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus,
contrary to popular student belief.
Without a bar or liquor sales on campus,
CSUSM may give the appearance of being
a dry campus. Students may recall the
recent Oktoberfest event that served root
beer at the celebratory gathering, or the
Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to
be served in the form of beer and wine on
campus.
By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on
campus. This form, known as the Alcohol
Approval Request Form, gives cougars the
opportunity to submit requests for alcohol
approval.
"There are several campus entities that
a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school
policies set up for the safety of students.
The University Police is not only required
to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the
police are usually required at any alcohol
related events.
Individuals are also allowed to submit
a request for alcohol on campus as well,
however most commonly the request is
made by student organizations in compliance with the policy.
"The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in
the Clarke Field House, but events are not
limited to this venue," said Poullard.

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a
faculty member, I also note that
University Hour will enhance
students' ability to get together
with their classmates for study
groups, for group projects and
even for something as simple as a
cup of coffee with a classmate."
CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic
University Pomona are the three
CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of
our local educational partners,
also has a University Hour. ASI
has received positive feedback of
having a University Hour.
History Professor Patricia
Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that
building community is an important priority for the campus but
I donrt think we think creatively
enough about how you can do
that on a commuter campus. We
tend to take 'solutions' that work
well for small, residential liberal
arts colleges (partly because so
many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are
of traditional age and don't work
more than 20 hours a week, if
or older weighing at least 110
pounds are welcome to donate.
However, the San Diego Blood
Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in
selected areas, exposure to
Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/
flu-like symptoms may prevent
potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to
answer a brief medical history
questionnaire and communicate
with nurses about eligibility.
"Hospital patients depend
on blood donations every three
seconds ... it saves lives," said
Walter-Brown. Donations are
most often used in auto accidents,
heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments
and third degree burn victims.
The San Diego Blood Bank
encourages students to start
donating at a young age, since
young adults are typically in
ideal healthy and bounce back
better after donations. Many of
San Diego Blood Bank's active
donors are in their late 70s and
80s and are becoming ineligible
to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown.

that, and insist that these same
solutions ought to work at a
campus like CSUSM where the
student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying
'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a
different way because of who our
students are and what their lives
are really like ~ so how do we do
that?'"
Academic Senate originally
denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for
several reasons, which included
concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the
afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of
University Hour. The Associated
Students Inc. Board of Directors
recently had a new proposal that a
University Hour be implemented
between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00
p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006.
ASI recognizes that certain
courses and degree programs do
not lend themselves to University
Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential
Programs and courses or labs
three hours or more in length will
be exempted from the University
Hour.
"We tend to assume that just
because students don't stay on
campus and participate in things
it is because they don't feel a
sense of belonging at CSUSM and
we don't often enough consider
that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact,
it's all they can do to squeeze the
time out to take classes, study and
get their degree," said Seleski.
ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall
2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey
respondents believe that the
creation of a 'University Hour'
would benefit the campus.
"But, while I laud the goal of
University Hour, I don't think
the reasons for doing it are more
compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule
(and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of
their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems
for more students that it will
help. And in the end, I'm not
willing to do that to students —
especially in the absence of any
hard data that demonstrates that
University Hour will improve
community life on campus,"
said Seleski.
The next Academic Senate
meeting will be voting on the
proposed University Hour on
Nov. 2. For more information on
the University Hour please see

Walter-Brown added that all
donors should bring a photo ID,
relax, and know that donating is
easy.
Those interested in donating
are encouraged to drink plenty of
fluids and eat a good meal within
4 hours before donating and be
well-rested to prevent fatigue.
Donations typically average one

stated.
The main purpose for
authorization of any alcohol
on campus is safety. Safety is
a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related
matter on campus. Poullard
noted that safety is "a huge
role" in deciding approval.
All alcohol events require
ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be
handled by a licensed caterer
approved by CSU Foundation,
organization must maintain
general liability insurance,
no kegs or bulk containers are
permitted, food and non-alcoholic beverages are required
to be served if alcohol is
available and organization is

FORUM, from page 1
the most vulnerable people being the
elderly and women with young children. Elise points out that historically
society tends to point the finger at the
victim. Implications questioning why
people didn't evacuate suggest that
these individual lack intelligence,
although many people with this view
fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do
not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave.
Much like the real-estate property
values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes
that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar
situation; the "least affected areas
were white areas" because higher
altitudes were not subjected to mass
flooding.
"Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural
disaster" said Elise in response to the
racial news-reporting suggesting that
blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies
for survival. "We are not afraid to call
it what it is: institutionalized racism
despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued.
Elise suggests that there are two
possible reasons to explain this racial
disparity: either something is wrong
with black people or something is
being done wrong to black people. But
racism isn't isolated in New Orleans.
Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets,
the less funding it receives."
Elise urges our students and faculty
to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the
black face of unemployment and the
white face of the White House."

University Police offer escort services to promote
safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted
rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots
and immediately adjacent areas of the campus.
The escort service has been offered at Cal State
San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living
accommodations on and around campus the police
are boosting up the circulation of information on
department services to ensure that our campus is a
safe environment.
Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service
focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available
from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure.
"It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said
Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours."
Anyone can take advantage of this service
regardless of the reason or absence of immediate
threat. Many academic classes are held in the late
evening and with day-light savings time around the
corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will
escort and accompany students to their car, dorm,
bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments,
located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having
problems or being harassed by another person on
campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an
escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on
foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate
local residence.
The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students
scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7
p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House.
The RAD program is sponsored by the University
Police and ASI.
The three-hour training provides female students
with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and
presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to
RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher
courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer
Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's
certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567.

History Repeats Itself
Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached
racism through a historical lens and
focused on how policies formulate
racial categories to assert blame to the
victim. Comparing the Irish potato
famine with Hurricane Katrina,
Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both
governments blamed the disaster and
circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that
both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the
tragedy. British elites were quoted
that the potato famine would serve
as a cleansing of society arguing that
'survival of the fittest' justified lose
of life. And after Hurricane Katrina,
former First Lady Barbara Bush was
quoted that the relief efforts were good
enough for the 'underprivileged.'
"How will we remember Hurri-
prean
cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100
years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With
the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina,
we need to continue conversations and
analyze the role of racial policies and
attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history.
"Theories do not save people;
action saves people. Take the risk of
speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca.
Allowing the media to mold our own
interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the
social-politics that oppress and blame
the victims.
White Racism Still Exists
Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the
traditional mainstream story and who
gets to tell it." Much knowledge can
be acquired through recognizing who
tells the, story.
Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken
from the American Renaissance, a
monthly magazine available online,
with conservative white racial views.
Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the
hatred and hate speech directed to the
black victims of Hurricane Katrina.
One view shared from American
Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger
shortage in your town - don't worry
they got a bus load of niggers coming
to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some
whites wanting to "help (their) people,
but the muds and spies be damned."
Moon encouraged attendees to be
aware of the deep racism that exists in
our society, arguing that knowledge is
necessary to deconstruct the inequity
that marginalizes noliwhites.
Open Discussion
Open to questions, comments and
personal experiences, students, faculty
and guests discussed the prevalence of
racism at Cal State San Marcos and
the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists
encouraged attendees to engage in
dialogue on poverty, race, gender and
politics.
Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences
on race. Sociology student, Lisa W.
expressed her feelings of racism on
campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori
said.
"A great-white walk out" occurred
according to one audience member.
She felt that white students left when
racism got too real for them, when
she observed over 20 people leave the
forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis-
cussing white-racial views towards
blacks.
"But many stayed. I can only
focus on those that show up and
stay," responded Moon. "For white
students there's a d ifferent cost
for racial consciousness; (they)
are likely to be ostracized by the
white community. White people
can be ruthless and they can be
r uthless to their own," explained
Moon.
Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with
students not to get discouraged
in trying to open communication
on race. "If you believe you can't
change the world, you've been
conned. It takes courage to hope,"
Avalos-C'DeBaca said.
"We don't have time to be hopeless,"
Moon added.
An audience member commented,
"we're in college now and this is where
we learn how tofight.That is what I've
learned."

Campus wildlife
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With Cal State San Marcos still in
the beginning phases of its projected
construction and growth, the original
inhabitants of the brush-covered hillsides surrounding campus have been
reluctant to be pushed out.
There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said
Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director
of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns
in the early morning around campus,
there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners,
for example, can be seen mornings
making their way along the outskirts
of campus, as can coyotes, which can
be observed around campus in the
morning and evening.
"At one time there used to be a herd
of deer," said Waiters referring to a
small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these
large creatures living nearby. Although
the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still
be seen with the proper timing. One of
the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even
attracted a few of the deer onto the
campus itself. Yet the shrub has since
ceased being planted as the deer were
feeding on them as soon as they were
placed in the ground.
As for the namesake of CSUSM, the
cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent
sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen
in nearby communities, complaints
from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered
cat away from its native territory.
Still, many species of wildlife have
held on, for now, to the territory they
call home. The animals "just have to
know when to come out and not be
heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus
continues to grow it is likely that the
sightings of wildlife near campus will
probably decline over time.
As for now though, the army of
squirrels that often line the walkway
from the dirt lot in the late afternoon,
like many creatures on the fringes of
CSUSM, are happy to stay right where
they are.

Saleski asserted. "History 'gives'
the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against)
every day."
According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other
current events issue, through a
historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal
to the historical memory they've
learned, even though that memory
may not be accurate. The history
department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to
figure out new solutions to past
and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about
'nursing old wounds', it can also
be about finding commonalities
and finding ways of reconciliation."
Seleski assures students that
the history department does not
have an agenda, nor is it trying
to enforce any particular view
on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is
mainly offering students, faculty,
and the public an opportunity to
hear different views on Middle
East peace issues from various
speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of
encouraging dialogue within the
community. Those involved are
also aware that these issues might
be a sensitive topic to some due to
its political aspect and in light of
the political dissention currently
occurring in the United States.
The speakers share only their
own viewpoints, and Saleski
reminds everyone attending that
the history department is not
promoting their perspectives as
truth, but hopes to ultimately

THE PRIDE
Miramar Air Show "The Sound of Freedom"
Student shares her
experience of the air show
BY SHANNON SHUREMAN
Special to The Pride
Are the pilots courageous or just plain
psycho? Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the
Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif.
The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th
anniversary this weekend along with an
estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of
all ages and backgrounds flocked from
around the country to catch a glimpse
of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or
the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with
incredible air shows were the 100 or more
aircraft on display, including planes from
World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in
use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m.
until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was
not a dull moment.
I have never been big into military type
stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about
the array of amazing aircraft and found
myself in a trance gazing at the planes
moving faster than the speed of sound,
defying gravity.
I was almost brought to tears, or maybe
that was just the effects of staring into the
sun for a couple of hours. Neither words
nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an
inspiring country we live in and has given
me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at
600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a
ride in one of those any day!

Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds.
Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes!
The Blue Angels have been in flight since
the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The
team consists of six of the most highly
trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to
have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours
and flies the number one jet. The other
five members are required 1,200 tactical
jet flight hours and man jets two thru six.
Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown
for over 393 million fans.

�CSUSM Cross C ountry Toam
prepares f or Nationals
BY HEATitER M. ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the regional competition
right around the corner, both the
men's and women's cross country teams are working hard to
keep up their top 10 rank. The
regional competition is to be
held in Fresno on November
fifth. This day will ultimately
determine which teams within
the region will then move on to
Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky just a few weeks later.
The cross country team is
part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA). This allows the team to
go up against several divisions
of athletes and more importantly
the best competition. According to head coach Steve Scott,
"With better competition our
teams will get pulled to faster
times."
The men and women compete at several invitationals
and following each meet they
are ranked according to their
times. The cougars have had
four meets so far and as of last
week the men's team is ranked
eight and the women's team is
ranked sixth. At the regional
competition the first place team
moves on to nationals along
with the top 20 teams according
to their rank following the meet.
With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are
confident that nationals will be

in their near future.
At the nationals competition
the top four teams place out of
27 that qualified. Steve Scott
commented, "Talent wise I think
both teams have the ability to
place at nationals." According
to Steve the real trick is being
able to have all your athletes run
their best race all in the same
day. It's about being prepared
mentally and physically and
experience always helps ease
the nerves. Steve explained,
"We have the potential and
that's all you can hope for when
going into a national meet."
Friday, Oct. 21 the cougars
will be heading to Fullerton
for their final meet before the
regional competition.

Pugh comes to CSUSM from
Mission Bay high school, where
he has spent 26 years in varying
positions such as head baseball

I am particularly thrilled about
the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not

but because I know what kind of
person he is.

Milo and Pugh will both be

as they begin the transition from
their current jobs to recruiting

Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and
the University for selecting two
well deserving coaches to lead

Escape to reality
BY ERICA DAVIS
Special to The Pride
Reality TV - we all know by
now that's an oxymoron . The plots
and storylines of shows such as
Survivor and The Amazing Race
rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with
no focus on competition, such as
Extreme Makeover- Home Edition,
have no basis in reality. I've not met
ANYONE personally who had Shea
Homes show up one day and decide
to give them a new house full of
all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was
the link between all of these shows.
When Johnny Fairplay lied about
his grandmother's death to other
Survivor's, he instantly became the
contestant America loved to hate,
and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler
shows. I've found in my own work
life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely
does someone ask if I've seen the
latest episode of Law and Order
and yet many friends and cowork-
ers love to gossip about the newest
argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit
in more hushed tones these days.
These competitive shows, such
as Big Brother, that often involve
some sort of "on-screen" romance
draw viewers in. As if we were all
in High School again watching a
couple break-up in the hallway; we
like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way
we REACT to these shows, even if
they are completely staged. So, if
it is gossip driving the competitive
shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's
because it IS providing an escape
from reality . The "dream shows,"
enable us to imagine that we too
could have that new 7 bedroom, 6
bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son
and brand new Expedition in the
driveway. IF our personal struggle
is sad enough to win the network's
attention, that is. Gone are the days
where your life's suffering meant a

plentiful afterlife, but now Ty Pennington in your front yard with a
bull horn screaming "Move that
bus!" Instant, earthly rewards!! It
gives you a reason not only to root
for the underdog, but to want to BE
the underdog. But, as the old saying
goes, it only takes one bad apple to
rot the whole barrel and for those of
us dedicated Make-Over and Race
fans that've been around since the
beginning, we're the new lepers,
"reality TV people." The very term
"reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With
mindless and degrading shows such
as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to
be a Hilton," programming itself
has been degraded and I'm even
ashamed to be included in the reality
TV watching demographic because
everyone assumes each show is like
the worst show out there. I feel the
pain of soap opera fans everywhere.
The folks I see who have followed
Luke and Laura and don't want to
admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV
watchers have been thrown down
to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and
perhaps that is why it stings. People
assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't
even defend reality TV anymore,
I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV
is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race
and publicly talk about that other
great CBS show, CSI - because that
stuff totally happens in real life!

Then I saw the pumpkin people.
Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves
artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and
give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the
transformation.
The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the
other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and
it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name
'Jack'.
The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love
risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go
go go! Let's rock and roll!'
I looked at it and realized that no normal person would
ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it
defective.
As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from
Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was
justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against

Editor from a local
^¡¡¡¡H
ts^^S
Dear Editor Long:
As a local resident and taxpayer, I was disturbed (to say the
least) when reading the recent
"article" in The Pride Online Edition titled "Race and Class Discrimination in Relief Efforts."
This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true
news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been
located in the Opinion section of
the newspaper.
The author states as fact the
conspiratorial speculations of
activist professors. As scary as
it is that such non-academics are
actually paid by the tax-payer to
peddle such ridiculous theory and
ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed
as fact to the student body.
For example, the lead in to the
article states "The forum focused
on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and
I have a problem with an article
how Katrina is being considered
a man-made disaster." A more
honest article would have made it
abundantly clear how such beliefs
are rather the opinion of a very,
very small minority ("minority"
referring to segment of the population smaller than
50%... not a person's ethnicity)
who have little non-biased data to
support their theories.
The "Blaming the Victims"
section reeks of propaganda and
is an obvious attempt to shape
the beliefs of an impressionable
student body rather than to report
facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise
made certain assertions—not that
those assertions are facts.
The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of
racism in the United States.
However, the
only fact that it seemed to
accurately portray is that certain
professors at CSUSM, who make
their livelihood off peddling the
perception that white racism is
the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists
themselves.
For instance, in the "White
Racism Still Exists" section of
the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as
saying,
"For white students there's
a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be
ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to
their own."
This statement, if reported
accurately, is demonstrative of
the foul stench of racism that
is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr.
Moon obviously has engaged in
an blatant over-generalization
about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in
fact. Instead, this generalization
is obviously, to even the most
untrained observer, an ignorant
attempt to attribute one person's
biased views to an entire population.
The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the
discussion, and then continues by
quoting a student who attributes
the mass exodus to the student's
inability to deal with what is
considered "real" about racism.
Could it be, however, that white
students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously
at the heart of the discussion?
Rather than seeking to get to the
root ofthe problem (the "problem"
referring to the disproportionate
number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors
were merely there to advocate an
extreme, negative and order-line
anarchistic approach to dealing
with issues that have an alleged
racial component. The reader
need only refer to the final line of
the article: An audience member
commented, "we're in college
now and this is where we learn to
fight. That is what I've learned."
Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the
"American Renaissance" as an
example of the hatred put forth
towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being
a strong conservative myself, and
reading and writing quite often
about a number of issues related
to race, policy, and government,
I found it interesting that an
obscure, racist publication such
as the "American Renaissance"
was being used to portray the
beliefs of white people. As a
matter of fact, I had never even
heard of the
"American Renaissance" prior
to it being mentioned in the article.
Perhaps it is because I do not
frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from
CSUSM obviously go to get their
"facts" on white America. The
fact that this online magazine
was referred to as
a magazine of "conservative
white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip-
»
tion of itself), is hardly accurate
in depicting the general c onsent
sus beliefs of white conservative
Americans.
Perhaps this is yet another fine
example of professors coming to
conclusions and then seeking out
facts to meet their pre-conceived-«
notions.
I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater
care in the future to make sure
that facts are reported as facts,
and ideas, theories, or specula-*
tion be reported appropriately.
For instance, perhaps when the
author reports that Dr. Sharon
Elise reports "statistical facts and
public misconceptions" she could
provide examples of those facts.
I would be very interested to see
where those "statistics" originate
from.
Thank you for your time. I
look forward to reading a more
professional version of The Pride '
in the coming months.
Perhaps next month you could
take the same exact story and
re-print it with all of the races
flipped. White would become
black and black or African-Amer- *
ican would become white. Then
read the article again and tell me
if it passes the "there's a racist in
our midst" smell test.

Marcus Dexter

are systemically killed. The fog
finally lifts when Tom Malone is

treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog.
Wainwright unfortunately uses
special effects in place of dialog
and story. Much of the action
is indeed scary but that is only
because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were
laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of
the dialog comes across flat and
ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie
enables the audience to become
emotional involved with the
actors and action. In this movie
however the audience has a profound detachment from the action
as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that
some special effects looked a
little too unreal and one knew
it was a special effect or a poor
planned one. While some effects
looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and
held extraordinary power.
The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete
story, dialogue, and audience
empathy, though some of the
special effects dazzled the eyes.
The Fog was almost a complete
disappointment but it did have its
redeeming value.

As the air turns

predominate colors of red and oranges.
Julian, a quaint mountain retreat located
among pine and oak-covered hills of San
Diego, is a perfect weekend getaway. This
rustic mining town settled over 100 years
ago with a small population still today of
only 1,300.
This small mountain community is
known for its fruit orchards and country
charm. Stay in one of the many bed and
breakfasts and enjoy endless amounts of
'good oF home' cooked meals. With the
ovens running around the clock and the
sprawling apple orchards it's only natural
that Julian is home of award winning apple
pies. Apple Fest runs from September to
mid November that brings crowds from all
over the United States to hand pick their
very own apples.

HOW 10 • • • make apple pie
BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Fall is here and the leaves are turning.
With the holiday'srightaround the
corner, family andfriendswill be
gathering for home cooked meals and
quality time. Instead of picking up
a dessert at your local grocery store,
amaze them with your own homemade
apple pie. Follow these simple How To
steps and you can't go wrong!
Ingredients for crust and filling:
Baking apples,firm,medium size
All purpose flour
Unsalted butter (cold).
Shortening
Cold water
One egg
Sugar, granulated
Salt
Cinnamon
Steps: How To make an apple pie crust
1. Mix 2 cupsflour,1 tablespoon of
sugar and lA teaspoon of salt in bowl.
2. Cut cold butter and shortening into
half inch pieces place into mix bowl.
3. In small bowl, whisk together egg
and water. Slowly add one tablespoon at
a toe, stirring continuously, to the dry
mix bowl. Dough should befirmenough
to stay together, not wet.
Steps: How To cook an apple pie
1. First, roll out the. dough that has been
chilled. Sprinkle a thin layer offlouron

in the center and roll the dough using a
rolling pin until the dough is about 1/8
inch thick and the diameter is about 1
inch larger than the pie plate you will

McMahan
House in
planning
stages
$2.3 million donation
for conference center
on campus
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
McMahan House conference
center at CSUSM is in the midst
of planning stages.
Former furniture store owners
JoAn and Richard McMahan
donated $2.3 million to CSUSM
to build a 3,800-square-foot
meeting and conference center.
The facility will be located, on
the knoll overlooking the campus
entrance with the track field just
below the site.
The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently
seeking to hire an architectural
firm. While no official date has
been set to begin construction,
the planning stages for the facility have already begun.
"Our intent is to only use the
donation money to build and
equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning,
Design & Construction. Decker
estimates that no public CSUSM
funds will be needed for the project.
The donation is expected to
cover all costs of construction,
labor, and the facility's resources.
The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen
capable of hosting banquets and
providing dining services for
luncheons or meetings, as well
as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology
to aid in presentations, lectures,
and conferences. The facility will
also have a functional manager's
office and will "likely be a source
of student employment," according to Decker.
A planning committee team
will be developed to provide input
on construction and help with the
functionality of the McMahan
House. The committee has yet to
formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the
transformation of this dirt hill
into a much needed service.

Lady Cougars get new members
Try-outs prove to

BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
The Lady Cougars, previously
named Cougar Dancers, held
closed-auditions in the Hunter
Gymnasium at the Clark Field
House on Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Nine women auditioned for the
intermediate/advanced dance
team displaying technique, style
and passion for the sport.
"We're looking for experience and knowledge of jazz, hiphop, and lyrical dance moves.
But most importantly, someone
we can work with; someone
who can progress," said Aliesha Waleneikowski, current
member of Lady Cougars who
was teaching the dance routine
to the prospective members. "It
will be a basic routine to show
style and technique," Waleneikowski noted.
The routine had an emphasis
on jazz and prospective dancers needed to quickly pick up
on the moves. Three dancers

demands of the dance technique

the Masquerade Ball at a different venue means a different atmosphere. In the past, the balls have
had a high school vibe to them. This
time ASI is trying to liven things
up by creating a more club-like
atmosphere to the evening's festivities. Tables will be cleared to create
a dance floor in the restaurant with
a live DJ available for requests to
keep people dancing all night long.
A second dance floor will also be
held on the patio.
Appetizers and refreshments will
be provided. Alcoholic drinks will
be available through a cash bar and
wristbands will be given to those
over 21 years of age. Security will
be at the event checking IDs and
tickets at the door.
Tickets are free to CSUSM students and $15 for pre-paid guests
or $20 at the door. Tickets can be
purchased at the ASI ticket window
in Commons 207. Limited parking
is available in the Hard Rock Café
underground parking garage for $2
a car, located on the south end of
the restaurant. There is also ample
street parking near the Hard Rock
Café.
The hotel across the street from

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little
as 10 days you can put together
an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective
and current college students can
dread the scholarship process due
to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing,
and all the other aspects of applying for them.
Kaplan "Receives a letter or
an email every week" from students that have read the book and
obtained scholarships. Kaplan
said that a student recently
wrote in and informed him

California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a

the seminar were that: if you have

you can get it; and getting the
money for college doesn't have to

Cal State San Marcos has
two new students this semester displaced from Hurricane
Katrina. Deondra Hagan
braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook
with her aunt after the storm
damaged her house.
Deondra never expected
that the hurricane would do
so much damage. Her family
has lived through storms
nearly every year. She went
on to explain that the damage
was mostly from wind.
"We've never evacuated for a
hurricane."
"It got bad around 3 a.m.,
the wind was blowing and
trees were snapping," said
Deondra. She described how
the wind tore off the shingles
of her house.
"I have nothing to complain ¿bout, some people
have nothing," said Deondra,
"material things come and
go, we're glad we are all here
and alive."
An Executive MBA student
from the University of New
Orleans, Deondra started Cal
State San Marcos' MBApro. gram this semester.
Deondra left New Orleans
with her two brothers, sister
and her grandmother. They
are staying at her aunt's
house in Bonsai, CA. Her
father stayed behind to
help repair their and other
homes.
"I 4ove California," said
Deondra. She does not plan
to return to Ne\V Orleans and
wants to finish her degree at
CSUSM.
Deondra explained how
she had to enroll over email
since she did not have transportation to school and back.
She went on to say that Cal
State San Marcos has been
"great" and "a lot of people
are working with me."
Future goals for Deondra include law school and
a career as a sports attorney. "I want to have my own
business in sports." An avid
sports fan, Deondra played
basketball for her previous
college.

Catch Eye
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
I first noticed Juliet Cody in my
Comm 360 class when she walked
into the class room with a guide dog.
I knew that her experience on campus
would be different than mine, so I
decided to chat with her and hear
some of her stories.
Juliet grew up in Santa Monica
Beach as the oldest of four in a family
of two parents, two sisters and a
brother. She went to Santa Monica
High School before moving to San
Diego, and went to UCSD before
coming here to CSUSM.
One of the reasons she came to
CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled.
She said she loves how she can find
talking computers, Braille everywhere
and a friendly student body. I asked
her how one should approach her when
they see her on campus and she said
she's always open to talk, but that it's
extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to
surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music,
technology, and taking long 12 mile
walks with her guide dog Marly, whom
she named after the reggae legend Bob
Marley. Her major is communications
with an emphasis in public affairs.
Juliet gradually went blind, due to
a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't
completely blind until aboutfiveyears
ago. She said the hardest adjustment
has been transportation, especially in
North County.
I turned my attention to Marly,
Juliet's beautiful golden retriever,
and asked if she's always had Marly
to help get around. She told me that
she actually used cane travel for five
years before getting Marly. I asked
her about the qualifications to get a
guide dog and learned that after she
applied people from the service came
out and interviewed her. According
to Juliet, it's important to have good
cane skills, live an active life style,
be in good health and able to handle
a dog.
Juliet is an advocate for the disabled
and is President of the Beach Cities
Chapter National Federation for the
Blind. As she seemed so comfortable
with being blind, I asked her if she had
known anyone who was blind before
she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that
she would love to have her eye sight
back if she could and told me about a
procedure that is still being developed.
The doctor implants a computer chip
in the retina which takes pictures and
sends them to the optic nerve so the
brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five
years, and even if she does undergo
the procedure successfully, she states
playfully that she plans to keep Marly.
Until then, Juliet maintains a positive
outlook on life, which is most evident
when she states "even after you're
blind, life is still awesome."

Oktoberfest, less
beer, more cheer
BY JASON SAUMUR &
ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' German
club hosted the celebratory event,
"Oktoberfest", last Thursday in
the Library courtyard.
Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel
in German culture, they invited
the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated
yearly in parts of Germany.
Even before Oktoberfest's
scheduled opening at noon, at
least 20 students were standing
in line, awaiting the traditional
German foods.
Following the event, I asked
German Club Vice President,
Jean Scheuneman, what she
thought around the Oktoberfest
cultural event both as a local and
as an international event.
FEATURESJ
r £ / / \ l UJVjL/
"In Germany, it [Oktoberfest]
has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another
excuse to go out and drink, but
that is not what Oktoberfest is all
about. It is a part of German history."
According to Scheuneman
Oktoberfest originated after
the marriage of Crown Prince
Ludwig to Princess Therese of
Saxony.
"You could say that it originated from a very long wedding
reception that lasted for 5 days.
On the last day there were horse
races and it officially ended the
festival. The decision to repeat
the races basically gave birth
to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't
have the horse races.
"Everyone seemed to enjoy
what we had going on. People
can learn more by going on the

will remain on display through the
fall 2005 semester. In his artist's
statement he explains that, "As a
Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a
reflection of my political beliefs,
an art of protest." Montoya's art
portrays international struggles
within a community, and can be
said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that
we are not an isolated culture
that failed, but that we have a
common antagonist that makes it
necessary for us to unite.
Born in Albuquerque, New
Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya
grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not
read or write Spanish or English.
Since 1968, Montoya has lectured
and taught at numerous universi-
ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was
a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12
years, 5 of which he was the Chair
of Ethnic Studies department.
Montoya has been a Professor at
the University of California, Davis
since 1989. His classes, through the
departments of Chicana/o Studies
and Art, include silkscreening,
poster making, mural painting,
and focus on Chicano culture and
history. Montoya's works with
acrylic paintings, murals, washes,
and drawings, but he is primarily
known for his silkscreen prints,
exhibited both nationally and«
internationally.
Also in his artist statement,
Montoya explains that "This
form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to
actively work to transform it.
What better function for art at this
time? A voice for the voiceless."
Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's
personal views on art and society.
Realizing later that it was not by
choice that we remained mute but
by conscious effort on the part of
those in power, he realized that
his art could only be of protest-a
protest against what he felt to be a
death sentence. Three prominent
themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle.
The Context Library Series
wants students to be exposed to
new ways of understanding and
experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a
venue to contribute to academia
as young scholars.

T HE PRIDE
Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
When I was
16-years old
the
biggest
concern I had
on my mind
was whether
or not I was
•BMiiMBlFriM going to pass
my
drivers license test. I spent most of
my days playing pool and video
games with my friends. I knew
that I was soon going to grow up
to be a sports journalist, so I made
the most ofjust being a kid.
However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind
is if she can make a par-4. The
16-year old amateur officially
became a professional golfer last
week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals
with Nike and Sony which will
earn her over $10 million dollars
annually.
My Uncle always told me
that everyone makes the exact
amount of money they deserve
in this world for their abilities. I
tend to agree with that and I am
all for getting as much money
as you can, but this girl has not
won a single tournament in the
LPGA and she is already going to
be making more money than the
veterans on tour.
The $10 million that she will
be making annually makes it
hard for me to feel sorry for her,
but I kind of do. Wie should be a
sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never
get back. I mean some of my
greatest memories in life were
from the age of 13-17 when I was
in high school. She will never get
that opportunity to create childhood memories.
I believe Tiger Woods put it
best when he said at 16-years old
he was only concerned about what
colleges he was going to apply
to. Woods, perhaps the greatest
golfer to ever swing a club, has
a valid point. Wie needs to grow
up and develop her game much
like Woods who went to Stanford
after high school.
People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right
of seniors in high school to enter
the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because
those people are 18-years old
when they make that jump. They
are allowed to vote and go to war
so I see no problem in allowing
them to pursue their careers since
they are of legal age. I just don't
see how the LPGA can morally
j ustify letting someone became a
professional golfer when she can't
even drive the golf cart unless
there is an adult with her.
I mean I know why the LPGA,
Nike, and Sony are behind her.
Cai State San Marcos
runs strong at UNLV
Cross Country Invite
Clearly because she is someone
that they can market to death,
just like the IRL is in marketing
heaven right now with Danica
Patrick (another person who
hasn't wont jack, but because she
is attractive, she is a huge draw).
Another reason I am not too
happy about her declaration of
becoming a professional is that
she is already taking away press
from the great golfers on tour. Wie
says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think
that would be a shame, because
there is literally no way she could
win and she would take away so
much press from the contenders.
You really only have to look at
Annika Sorenstám to realize my
statement is not sexist. Annika is
without a doubt the best Women's
golfer in the world and she is even
more dominant in her league than
Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at
winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the
cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in
difficulty to the Masters.
When I turn on Sportscenter
I want to see how Annika and
Tiger fared in their respective
tournaments, not some 16-year
old girl who hasn't won anything.
Just let her be a child like the rest
of us were allowed to be.

Sigur
Straylight Run C D review comesRostown
to
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Straylight Run's new EP "Prepare
to be Wrong" t urns anti-love and
anti-war propaganda into music that
is both painful and clever.
The voice of Michelle Nolan
introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily,
suggesting an unhappiness that is
unbearable but hard to pinpoint.
The second track, titled 'It Never
Gets Easier' provides an explanation
to the intro, speaking of a shallow
romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk.
John Nolan states, "But a strong
distaste for confrontation leaves
no room for self expression." This
phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing
offense often occurs in relationships.
The most intelligent aspect of the
track is Nolan's breaking apart of the
word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . ..
just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through
this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship.
Track three's 'Later that Year'
shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what
sounds like snoring surrounded by
an acoustic melody. The melody
grows and lyrics speak of bodies

returned wrapped in flags. Nolan
and Nolan then repeat, "We did the
math and it wasn't worth it after all"
continuously, emphasizing the huge
discrepancy between the number of
lives lost and the number originally
expected. I assume this is geared
toward President Bush and the war
in Iraq.
The following two Straylight Run
tracks focus again on the pain of love
and then on the pain of war. I sense a
major pattern.
My favorite line from the latter
half of the album is, "Don't you say
a word unless you're pretty sure that
you want it analyzed." This shows
the irony that comes from one person
speaking casually without thought
and the other taking the words as
gospel.
It is possible I am overanalyzing
Dolan's words myself. But if I am,
I'm sure he would be flattered.
The final song is a redo of Bob
Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The
song is basically seen as a satire on
pro-war fundamentalist Christians.
It provides a quick history lesson
while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if
God's on our side, he'll stop the next
war/ This and other remarks would
be quite laughable if they weren't so
true.
I hadn't heard of Straylight Run
until recently, but I enjoy their music.
Though the new EP lasts less than
half an hour, the information within
it can keep a person occupied for a
lot longer.
The stage was set
afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday
night, Oct. 3, with
the musical sounds of
Sigur Ros.
The Icelandic band
has made a return to
the U.S. in order to
play a small tour. Their
performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label
set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to
their feet.
If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as
the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a
•made-up language called hopelandic. The language is
used as another instrument in their already vast array. It
is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled
with soft and brilliant spoken parts.
As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could
hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi
Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the
intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson.
The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down.
Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their
new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old
and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they
explored a newer musical direction, but still returning
to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music.
For more information on Sigur Ros or their albums,
you can visit them at www.sigur-ros.co.uk.

owner of a gambling advising
company said, "Sports betting
is a $200 billion industry a year,
yet it is illegal in 49 states." This
is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew
McConaughey) a job offer to his
illustrious firm. "We are selling
certainty in an uncertain time,"
Abrams continues.
Lang, a former football star
with a knee i njury that retired
h im, attracts Abrams when
he correctly predicts wins for
several football games in one
weekend. Abrams recruits
Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin
him in New York. Lang is then
lavished with a new image,
money, a sports car, $1000 suits,
women and even a new name,
which becomes John Anthony.
At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He
becomes " The Million Dollar
Man". But as the saying goes,
"Everybody's good luck streak
has to end sometime."
"Two for the Money" reminds
me a lot of "Boiler Room,"
where young men were shaped
into hardcore salesmen. They're
not selling stock, but are selling
themselves, an idea and a dream.
Same goes for Abrams and his
gambling advising firm. They
convince their clients why they
should bet on teams through their
sales pitch.
Abrams and Lang's father/son
and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of
the film. Abrams suffers mild
heart attacks and his marriage is
constantly on the rocks. But for
him to mold Lang into a younger
version of himself, is in a way,
making Lang walk the plank, but
Abrams doesn't care.
The best aspect of the film is
Pacino's performance; it makes
this film worth seeing. He grinds
up any role and makes it his own,
as if the screenwriter was writing
it specifically for him. I dare you
to name one bad Pacino role, you
can't because it doesn't exist. His
performance definitely makes the
movie.

Donna Frye shares her experiences with GSUSNI
BY ADIA BESS & ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writers
Donna Frye
San Diego City Council member, former
mayoral candidate and
political activist Donna
Frye has a message for
CSUSM students: "Get
involved. I would say...
not just involving poli-
tics, but just involving life in general."
Frye came to campus on March 16 to
help celebrate Women's History month at
the Clark Field House.
Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye
set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members.
She began by sharing a personal story
about the spousal abuse she endured for a
number of years, which she said made her
a stronger woman in the long run. Then
Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage
to professional surfer Skip Frye started her
political involvement writing legislation
about water quality issues.
Frye spoke about being elected to the
city council in June 2001 with no intention
of furthering her political career.
"Becoming an elected official never
appealed to me," said Frye.
She said that the lack of integrity of the
elected officials in San Diego at the time

University Police were on hand St. Patrick's Day evening to assist law enforcement agencies from San Marcos, Palomar

At the checkpoint, 11 cars were towed
and one driving under the influence (DUI)
arrest was made. Vehicles were also cited
in the first part of the checkpoint for violations such as expired registration, no
proof of insurance and various other violations. University Police also patrolled

to give recent graduates, postbaccalaureate candidates, young
professionals and artists the
chance to develop by studying
abroad. Sponsored by the U.S.
Department of State, individuals
can apply for grants to study or
conduct research internationally.
According to Director of University Global Affairs Dr. Peter
Zwick, there are currently two
students from Cal "State San
Marcos who have applied to the
Fulbright program. Both students have passed the first of
three rounds in the selection process. Zwick said that these are the
only students from the campus to
ever apply to the program that he
is aware.
Claudino told the students that
attended the informational meeting that the Fulbright program
is an important opportunity for
them.
"It really opens doors, and
the networks are amazing," said
Claudino.
He said his mission for coming
to the campus was to increase
diversity in the Fulbright program and encourage students to
apply who are minorities.

Claudino. "We don't want students f rom j ust Yale or Harvard."
The HE and Zwick are beginning a Development Initiative
which would target campuses
like Cal State San Marcos who
currently are not very involved
with the Fulbright program.
Zwick will receive professional
training about the program,
which will enable h im to disseminate information to more
students on campus.
Claudino also discussed the
background of the Fulbright
program, and tips on how to
apply.
The program was started in
1946 by f ormer Sen. J. William Fulbright of A rkansas
to enhance the relationships
between the U.S. and other
countries a fter W WII. Now, in
a time when the need for global
communication is pertinent, the
Fulbright U.S. Student Program
is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study
including A frica, Asia and the
Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program
is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are
f unded by the U.S. government
and the host country covering
travel and study for up to 12
months.
Projects vary according to
individual's i nterests and may
include university coursework,
independent library research,
special projects in the sciences, or a combination of these
aspects.

Fulbright U.S. Student Program, contact Dr. Peter Zwick at

Student reaction to the St. Patrick's Day event was positive as
the c olorful dancers seemed to

attended.
"It was appropriate for the day.
Good times. It was a great presentation and a good show," said

"ASI is supposed to b e the student voice," said Marc D eGuzman, who is also r unning for
president.
He said however that while
Leonard was out interviewing
students on campus h e has, "
been in (his) office this last week
doing the b udget...it's the d ifference between handling the business and having f un. ASI can b e
a lot of f un, but if we don't handle
the business, with representing
students at state and campus wide
levels, then we are not doing our
job." D eGuzman is current V P of
Finance.
The candidates proposed ways
of getting students more involved
on campus by t aking interest in
both political and social events.
Some thought communication
between ASI and students was in
need o f a makeover.
" There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos,"
said Heidi Doyle, candidate for
the College .of A rts and Sciences
Representative.
All of the candidates addressed
student concerns regarding the
cost of getting an education.
"We need tuition to b e down.
We need financial aid to b e up.
We need students' rights to b e a
priority for our legislators," said
Cheyenne Barr, V P of external
a ffairs candidate.
"Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts
don't a ffect the tuition here at
school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP
of external a ffairs candidate.
CSUSM Athletic Director
Steve Nichols also spoke at the
event to answer student questions
and concerns about the proposed
Athletics f ee referendum.
" What we are seeking is forty
dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be
able to build t eams in men's and
women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's
baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not
saying I'm gonna make college
cheaper for you . ..I'm saying
that this is gonna add value t o the
campus."
When asked if the candidates
addressed the issues that were
important to h im student Omar
Yanez, a j unior criminology major
said: "Not exactly, but I think
that if anything, Sarah (Leonard)
might have had a closer approach
to the issues that concerned me."
" I would like to see more academic representation of the diversity on campus, said Yariez. "On
election day, (students) should
definitely vote, take two to three
minutes of their time—just
vote."
Voting will take place March

BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
The brothers of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon joined together on
campus to raise money for a
good cause.
On Wednesday, March 17, all
21 members and some Sigma
Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a
table outside the library and sold
pizza for two dollars a slice, to
raise money for the Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) Walk.
The MS walk will take place
Saturday April 9 and Sunday
April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad.
"Last year we donated about
$850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto.
"We expect to donate over $1000
this year."
"One of the girls in one of the
sororities has MS and last year
we donated in her name. This
year we will be donating in her
name again," said Mossuto.
Mossuto remarked it didn't
take any convincing to get these
frat boys onto campus for this
cause.
"They know that it's for a
really good cause and it's really
important to our fraternity that
we give back to the community
and do our philanthropy," said
Mossuto, "We stand for 'true
gentlemen.'"
Mossuto encourages other
students to get involved in the
fight against MS.
"You can donate if you go to
the MS website, through team
Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like,
and you'll know where your
money is going," said Mossuto.

for intoxicated drivers. In total, University
Police recorded two DUI arrests for the
night. No CSUSM students were arrested at
the checkpoint.
The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when
University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa,
patrolling near campus, observed a white
late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin
Oaks Valley Road.
Estepa said that while questioning the
driver he detected the scent of alcohol and
learned that both the driver and passenger
were under age. Estepa said he discovered
two open beer containers during his visual
sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived
to back up Estepa.
Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger
of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a
fine and his driver license could be revoked
for one year. The driver waited on the curb
just in front of his vehicle with his hands in
his pockets rocking back and forth.
As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the
investigation by asking the driver to stand so
he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow
FRYE, from page 1
business behind closed doors to
avoid controversy is cowardly
and wrong.
Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye
said, "I do not shy away from
controversy."
Discussing her efforts to
change the way government
business is conducted, she said
that she didn't expect so much
support from voters during her
2004 mayoral campaign.
"I was almost in tears I was
so amazed," said Frye about the
overwhelming amount of people
who signed a petition qualifying
her to run as a write-in candidate.
Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy
and Ron Roberts, the opposing
candidates during the campaign,
didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates.
"They looked like bookends
(during the debate) as I stood
in the middle. There were Mr.
Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye
describing the visual of the may-
into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content
(BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice
the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was
handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car
where he later urinated on himself, and his
truck was towed and impounded.
"We make these stops off of the campus
because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it
grows into a much bigger problem."
Koehler says it's important that people
under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and
drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI,
for example, will likely receive fines up to
$5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the
age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail
time.
The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male
in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix
smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint
inspection. Bronson alerted other officers
and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight,
which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After
oral debate.
Frye said she lost the election
due to the voters forgetting to fill
in the corresponding bubble after
writing her name on the ballot
(Mayor Dick Murphy won). She
ended her talk with the current
actions being taken in response
to the outcome.
Lawsuits have been filed on
behalf of Frye to count the votes
thrown out, but in speaking she
was adamant in letting the public
know that she isn't personally
involved.
"Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around),"
said Frye.
Frye opened up the floor by
answering a question about her
the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the
vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car.
Bronson said that not only was the smell
of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were
extremely red, however, the driver's answers
to all of Bronson's questions were clear.
Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which
indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver
was handcuffed and his car was placed on the
back of a truck to later be impounded.
"This guy (DUI driver) was just an average
good guy like me and now he will suffer like
a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler
remarking on how a DUI and the penalties
that result can be prevented by drivers being
responsible.
All law enforcement agencies involved in
the night's checkpoint are part of the North
County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety
Council. The DUI prevention efforts were
a result of funding from the state distributed
to each agency specifically for enforcing and
preventing drunk driving.

college campuses.
"I feel at home," said Frye
Cal State San Marcos student
Karlene Wiegand was excited
about Frye's arrival on campus.
"She is a woman who doesn't
conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to
Frye because of her work with
water quality issues. "Being
a surfer myself, that was very
important to me."
Palomar College
student
Rachel Gilstrop shared similar
thoughts.
"Frye is a strong female
figure, and she gives me a sense
of feeling more empowered as a

What
if
I'm
ence is going to have to pay
attention because there are a lot
of underlying meanings," Davis
said about his film.
Davis, who is an A rts and
Technology major, was at one
point a p ro-surfer before he
began p ursuing his film career.
Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal
Lett in CSUSM's a rt department
and the trio forged Brokenline
Productions. They wanted t o
create an independent film company that supports local artists
and promotes industry change.
Davis said filmmaking "should
be about the a rt and the project."
Each member of the company
brought something unique and
vital to the table. They m ade
their own studio in which they
paid for themselves. Davis w rote
and directed the 35-minute short
film. Forsyth created their logos,
website and designed the sets
for the film. Lett directed the
cinematography and worked his
magic with the camera.
From start to finish, the project
took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay
in three months. The entire film
was shot in f our days, and the
final editing took five months to
complete. All t hree are current
students with 18 or more units
who put in over 300 hours to put
this film together.

�Surfin' waves and
makin' grades
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
sisted of two long boarders, two
body boarders and two women
surfers. Depending on the performance of each of the male
surfers at tryouts, they were put
on either the A team or the B
team.
CSUSM's surf team has been
around for several seasons now.
The team is supported by some
of the surfer's family members
and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006
season will be held sometime in
September. The team is always
looking for new recruits, as
each year a few key surfers are
lost after graduation.
"This whole thing is pretty
much for f un and I encourage
anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout
and support us," Cannon.
For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the
upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at
canno010@csusm.edu.
It's March, and CSUSM's
surf team is getting ready to
make some waves this year at
Nationals. A fter taking fourth
place at Nationals last June, the
men's A-team is hoping to go
back and maintain their top five
status.
According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season
didn't go as smoothly as they
would have hoped with many
competitions being delayed and
even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that
they had a lot of talent on their
teams this year, but lacked the
competition experience.
For the 2004-2005 season,
CSUSM had a large enough
turnout at tryouts to put together
three teams. The teams were
broken down into two men's
surfing teams and one special
team. The special team con-

VARIETY
THE PRIDE
Spring Break is a time to responsibly blow off some steam
BY J ENNIFER I ANNI
Pride Staff Writer
For many college students,
spring break is the only time of
year that it's acceptable to cut
loose and have f un every night
of the week. A fter spending the
semester worrying about papers
and exams, spring break is the
t ime to take a breather and
go out with your f riends.
Of course, you always say
y ou'll spend some time
studying and getting a head
start on last-minute school
projects, but let's f ace it,
during spring break, most
people j ust want to have
f un. So grab your f riends,
I.D. and designated driver,
and get ready to p arty—you
deserve it!
Whether you plan to spend
t he day lounging in the sand ™
or the night dancing on the
tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when
going out with f riends is to pick
a designated driver beforehand.
Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a
coin, draw straws, or p ull a name
f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how
you pick one, j ust pick one.
Ify ou are the designated driver,
it doesn't mean you can't have a
good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e
d runk to have a good time. You
can always amuse yourself by
watching your d runken f riends
make fools out of themselves,
while you, the Saintly Sober One,
take pictures with your digital
camera. The best p art is that you
and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even
left the house! But don't overdo
it. There's nothing sexy about
throwing u p in the bathroom of
your favorite bar while your best
f riend holds your hair back and
your designated driver takes pictures.
The best p art about going out
to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is
getting, f ree drinks. Sorry,
boys, but girls always get
f ree drinks, especially if they
know the bartender. So, next
time you're at your favorite
pub, chat u p the guy behind
the counter. If he knows you,
h e'll b e more likely to comp
your d rinks. Making f riends
with the bouncers and the
bartenders always g uarantees V IP service, even if you

If you are particularly low

person's birthday or they are the

If you've got your designated

�Don't hit the beach, hit the books
Avoid procrastination a nd reward in moderation
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Pride Staff Writer
Photo illustration by Christine Baldwin / The Pride
Pride Features Editor Christine Baldwin (above) maintains her studious
fortitude while her husband Rob (left) falls victim to the drink.
With spring break quickly
approaching, many students
vow to stay at home and study
while their friends booze it up
in Cancun and Day tona Beach.
While hitting the books may
seem like a dreadful way to
spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and
ahead of the game sure does
have its perks.
So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in
your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on
the beautiful, enticing beaches
of paradise.
Replace that
muscular, suntanned cabana
boy with that exhaustingly
wordy Dickens' novel that has
been smashed, unopened, at
the bottom of your backpack
all semester. Don't hit the
beach—hit the books!
When your friends come
back from vacation, sure
they'll have a suntan, some
wild stories, and a few more
notches in their belts, but
they'll also have a ton of work
to catch up on. With only five
more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed,
sleep deprived, and worn out.
Won't it be nice to smile, take
a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny?
Resist the temptation to party
right now and remember that
"good things come to those
who wait." Summer is just
around the corner, and the day
you ace that last final, you'll
be "livin' la vida loca."
It is important to reward
yourself for a j ob well done,
so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For
every hour you spend typing
that 10 page paper on the
mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself
with 15 minutes of laying out
in the sunshine. If you have
fast metabolism, eat one piece
of your favorite candy every
time you read five pages of
that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't
have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one
at home.
Remember that you are not
alone. There are plenty of
other students just like you
who plan to use their spring
break as a time to both catch
up and get ahead. Find out
if any of these self-loathing
individuals would like to form
study groups with you. Invite
them over for a movie night so
that you guys can watch the six
hour movie version of "Bleak
House." Your teacher didn't
really expect you to read that
novel anyway.
If you feel the need to get
out of your house, take your
lap top over to your nearest
coffee shop and study there.
Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz.
For those of you that don't
live at home, make a trip to
your parents' house and study
there. They'll be glad to know
that their money isn't being
wasted on your education
and reward you with yummy
home cooked meals and a pat
on the back for all of your hard
work.
In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in
many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one
way." You may feel like you
are giving up well-earned
party time by studying over
the break, but when you look
back on the semester, you will
be proud of the results of your
hard work and dedication.
That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work!

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Hey! Quit violating MySpace
Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
I am taking this opportunity to share my
experience to warn all of you that although
you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong.
Take my word for it when I say this cliché
line: "it can happen to you."
As I browsed over the faces of many
others like myself that had been sucked
into this myspace craze I came across one
face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked
on the picture and this lead me to his page
where I was able to read small blurbs about
his life, interests, and whatever else he felt
inclined to tell others via the Internet.
Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego
that shared many common interests! I
went ahead and sent him a message, not
knowing in the slightest what I had just
gotten myself into. I have never been the
type to even consider meeting anyone from
online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake*
('"indicates names have been changed),
slowly my thoughts began to change.
Our emails through our myspace
accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it
at first, there was a definite "spark" so to
speak between Jake and myself. The more
we talked, the more we realized that we
truly did enjoy each others company. Our
late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my
interest in meeting this guy that now knew
so much about me.
Some of my friends were concerned by
the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake
over the phone, this didn't seem all that
odd to me. I mean, the whole idea
of meeting people online was
new to me anyway! When Jake
told me that he wasn't a phone
person, I j ust went along with it
and we planned a weekend where
we would meet up in person.
Shortly a fter our plan to meet
was set, strange things started
to occur. It began with phone
calls to my work f rom a girl
that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next,
but she would never leave a
message or a name. I found
this odd seeing as though I
had never given out my work
number.
Then only a few days later
I began receiving calls to my
apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that
would
call and
repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years
slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that
that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had
anyone I knew. I told Jake about the calls "online dated" for years, and had never
and he immediately traced them to his actually met in person. Jake had been
ex-girlfriend, Sara*. He said it sounded messing with Sara for years, leading her
exactly like something she would do, to believe they were in love and that when

became
friends, Sara went online
and came across another
guy that caught her interest.
This time it was Jake. Due
to the fact that Sara
was now friends
with Nikki, the
idea that
this new
guy
might be j ust another figment of Nikki's
imagination never even crossed Sara's
mind. Sara confided in Nikki about
her and Jake's online relationship. She
explained to me that as time went on, she
became more and more skeptical of Nikki,
and even confronted her a few times about
the possibility of her being Jake.
Nikki always denied this and Jake
always had a way of drawing Sara back to
him. Therefore, the relationship continued
.up until about four months ago when Jake
once again failed to meet up with Sara.
Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she
had done this to her again. She stopped
all conversations with Nikki and Jake for
her own sanity and decided she should see
a therapist.
Only recently, when Sara happened
to fall back in touch with Jake through
myspace did she begin to have second
thoughts about ridding him from her life.
When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this
feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was
a real person was almost too much for her
to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up.
It was then her goal to get a hold of me and
find out if it was true.
Being the self proclaimed "professional
detective" that she was, she tracked down
my phone number and told me she knew
my address as well. She said that was what
years of trying to find out if Jake existed
had done to her. She knew all the tricks.
A bit frightened by the whole situation,
I gave her as much information about Jake
and me as possible. I informed her of how
we had not even talked on the phone and
had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet.
She thanked me for helping her get to the
bottom of things, and told me that she knew
for a fact at this point that indeed this was
Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a
life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and
twisted, I know.
I immediately went to Jake and told him
that I would no longer be in contact with
him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as
possible, but things did not go as planned,
Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted
his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told
him that if he wanted to clear things up
then all he needed to do was call me and
prove to me I was wrong. He refused to
call, therefore, f urther proving everything
was true in my mind.
I then blocked him online and a fter
doing so, my phone began to blow up with
text message a fter text message f rom his
AIM name. The text messages became
increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I
realized I was going to have to change my
cell number in order to get rid of Jake once
and for all and this is exactly what I did.
A fter changing my cell number I also
went ahead and changed my apartment
number and made it unlisted as a f urther
precaution. The more I thought about the
situation, and the fact that I had been in
contact with a girl the entire time, the more
I almost felt like I had been brainwashed,
and somewhat violated.
Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need
not say more. Ironically, when I went on
myspace the following day Jake's page
was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION
CORRECTIONS
Vol. XIII No.8
In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for
Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not.
In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more
sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995.
CLARIFICATION
The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not
meant to be interpreted literally.

Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a
neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four
beautiful and independent daughters.
Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course
she assumes he left her and their family for
his secretary. She doesn't bother trying
to look for him or contact him, or if she
does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal
and they adjust pretty well to their new
life without dad. Even when he fails to
show up at important family events, like
the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine.
Terry quickly hooks up with her equally
alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role),
a washed-up, former baseball player
turned radio DJ, and together they help
each other heal from the tough breaks life
has given them.
Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye
(Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on
her computer. The audience is never told
why she's making the film or, for that
matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye.
These are just a few of many unanswered
questions in the movie.
The problem with "The Upside of
Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind
of a movie it wants to be and it tries too
hard to be both comedy and drama. The
acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's
icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but
the only thing that resonates after you've
left thé theater are all the questions that
are left unanswered.

THE PRIDE
Propaganda
Zach and Elizabeth review rags for him and her
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
When asked to evaluate four of the top "men's magazines" I thought for a moment-maybe half--that they might be related to sports or getting rich. Instant
relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who
can't afford the monetary
or emotional cost of the
nearest beach-flesh-fest?
We begin at the ' top'
with "Maxim" and, as usual,
a cover model most have
already seen on TV enough
to construct a fantasy f rom.
This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want
to be caught with ' porn' yet
can't bring themselves to say
"the articles." The ads range
f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace
at in those weird European things
lounging in the 'barbershop.' As
for genuine variety, though,
this isn't for anyone
who still refuses
to believe that
good sex requires
an attention span.
The girls are all photographed with the
same lights arid the
articles are mostly lists.
Conclusion: Pick up, flip
through, flick off, next.
The next step in our
descent brings us to what
"Maxim" could never be,
even with real nudity. Of
course, I use the term ' real'
the way I use women: not
at all, hardly. Playboy
has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring
excesses of photo and
cosmetic manipulation.
Personally,* if she's
going to look like a j
cartoon she may as J
well be a cartoon,
but at least Playboy
still helps artists
replace rather than
chase their models.
Even without the i
imagination for j
icons,
there's
enough variation to pick a
favorite, thus
a more lasting
distraction.
As a bonus,
the respectable article
quality might even give you some kind
of fetish for communication.
Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of
"Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the
boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all
be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle
emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has
fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion.
I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved
cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut:
rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but
f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me.
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy
magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter.
First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally
Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005
issue tackles such serious subjects
as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What
His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals
about Him." Wow. I never knew that
my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that
men like to have their balls messaged
during, not after, fellatio.
Next on the list to improve your
worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're
"Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to
Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two
different types of women in the world.
Unfortunately I am
neither. Hmmm,
could I be an
alien? However,
Glamour is good
pick for the woman
that wants to save
some cash. Practically every other
page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon
H to cut out. Glamour
jm also features top name
H
designer
fashions
W (the clothes nobody
m can afford) along with
where to purchase the
knock-off.
The fashion magazine,
f Elle, is a bit better than
the previously mentioned
self-esteem
blockers.
There are no lame advice
columns that make you
feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you
v aBnR
want to look at, this is the
rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements
with beautiful people.
Whoa, what's that?
'Small breasts are in this
season." Never mind,
Elle sucks too.
Hallelujah! God bless
Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as
the feminist response
to pop culture—is a
shining light at the
end of the magazine rack.
The
magazine focuses
on women's issues
that are interesting
and educational. No models, no
fashion statements, no make-up tips—just
articles
about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers
the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show,
"Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons
are provided.
The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the
misrepresentation of women by the mass media.
Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea
Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me.
I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait.

atheletics fee
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
In March, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund intercollegiate athletics.
According to Steven Nichols, director
of athletics, the fee would enable intercollegiate athletics to expand our current
sports programs and add new programs in
the near future. Right now intercollegiate
athletics offers men's and women's golf,
cross-country and track and field. The
new fee will allow the program to include
men's and women's baseball, softball,
soccer and women's volleyball.
Currently, the athletics department is
funded through the Instructionally Related
Activities fee (IRA) and the CSU General
Fund. Athletics receives approximately
$200,000 from the CSU General Fund and
Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics Department
anywhere from $12,000 - $32,000 from
the IRA fee.
The amount received by the IRA fee
is determined by the number of students
enrolled each semester and the number of
campus organizations applying for funds.
If the referendum passes, the athletics
department will be looking at an increase
of $296,000 per semester.
"If the fee does not pass, we can't sus-
Surveys: $6,000. DUI Checkpoints:
$8,000. Alcohol EDU: $20,000. A goal
of reducing the number of alcoholrelated incidents among college students: Not quite priceless, but $48,000.
Starting the first of February,
CSUSM was on of the ten state campuses sharing a $750,000 CSU Alcohol
and Safety (CSU ATS) grant, which
was administered by the Office of
Traffic and Safety (OTS), part of the
Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The program was funded
by $74.2 million in traffic safety funds
that were awarded to 277 California
state departments last year. CSUSM
received $48,000 of this money.
In order to receive a portion of this
grant, each campus had to apply and
come up with a proposal unique to their
campus. Out of the 23 CSU campuses
(the nation's largest university system),
18 applied for the mini-grants.
The other nine participating CSU
campuses are Bakersfield, Chico,
Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Pomona,
San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma
and Stanislaus. The CSU ATS program
is being directed by Perry Angle, who
is working with Dave Doucette, the
OTS regional coordinator.
"We screened the applications in
November and we were looking for
tain the sports that we have. I'm not even
thinking that way. But yes, something will
have to give. We would've had to cut a
sport if President Haynes had not stepped
in and allotted more money to supplement
the only $12,000 we received from the
IRA," said Nichols.
Nichols believes expanding the athletic

Students and faculty gathered on the
mezzanine steps under a threatening gray
sky on Thursday, February 17, to listen
to the first annual "State of the Campus

came to hear the panel members give five
minute speeches and answer questions.
Bob Sheath, Provost ofAcademic Affairs,
opened with his speech that addressed the
vision of the school. He outlined the academic blueprint of an eight-year plan to
expand the academic programs at CSUSM.
A ripple of applause burst from the audience when he announced that the new Busi-

a specific program that would
affect the community and meet
a specific student need," Angle
said. "Each proposal needed to
be innovative and student-oriented and could make an impact
in the short time it has."
He is referring to how the program ends in December of 2006.
The program officially stared in
January when there was a training session at CSU Fresno, where
headquarters is located for the
program.
"The actual grant has already
started," Angle said. "But paperwork still needs to be filled out.
Hopefully, you'll see some action
in spring, which is really a target
time. The activities we'll be doing
will relate to many of the activities students do in the springtime
when the weather gets better, like
spring break and parties."
According to Angle, this all
started in 2001 when the chancellor of the CSU schools, Charles
Reed, was affected by an alcohol-related death of a Chico State
student.
"He felt he needed to do more
for the safety of his students,"
said Angle.
This led to a grant called the
Sober Drive Initiative that lasted
two years and ended just this
January. CSUSM applied for this
grant and did not get it.
Fast-forward to today and
CSUSM will begin administering the first phase of its program
shortly. This will be a series of
three short surveys over a period
of two years. Motivation for students to take these surveys will
be a random drawing of 20 $100
gift certificates to the book store
on campus. This survey will ask
Photo i llustration by P hoenix Lindgren / The Pride
such questions as "Where do you
most often consume alcohol offcampus?" and "Have you ever
driven after drinking alcohol?"
This grant has led to several
students wondering why CSUSM
needed to apply for the grant.
"I don't think we have (and
alcohol problem) compared to
what other schools have," a freshman who lives on campus said.
"People shouldn't be driving
drunk," Nate Falzon, a commuter
said. "It doesn't matter where
they go. What's the point of them
targeting a school?"
According to Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, associate
vice president of student affairs
and chairman of the Substance
Abuse Advisory Committee here,
part of the reason that CSUSM
applied for the grant was because
roughly only seven percent of
students live on campus and the
majority of students commute.
The canfipus just does not know
the habits of its students.

"I am glad to hear that the
nursing program is finally
coming," said Matthew Garvin,
a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also hopes to get into
the nursing program. "I volunteer at a hospital and I know
how much the county needs
nursing services."
Karen Haynes, University
President, remarked that it was
almost the one year anniversary of her first day on the job.
Haynes emphasized the three
important building blocks for
the university. The first and
most important one is "academic excellence," so that the
school will send out well-prepared graduates. The second
building block is "intellectual
and cultural activities," not only
for the campus, but also for the
people in the community. The
third block is "civic leadership,"
which is important because it
makes the school more visible
and helps it to grow. Haynes
commended the students for
the 73,000 hours of community
service that have been recorded
and performed by 15,000 students.
As the raindrops started to
fall and umbrellas began popping open, Haynes said, "The
motto, 'We're building a place
for you' is dated. I think Cal
State San Marcos is the place."
Jackie Trischman, Chair of
the Academic Senate, was the
next to speak. Her fact-filled
report related that this semester CSUSM faculty taught over
600 courses and there were over
1150 class sections offered.
She also announced that two
new minors, Global Studies
and German were going to be
offered, and 151 new course
proposals were being reviewed.
Trischman said that the goal
for the school is to, "Help you
decide not only what you want
to be, but who you want to be
when you graduate."
"It is good news about the
new classes they will be offering" said Biochemistry major
Euphemia Uhegbu. "It was also
good that they talked about
solving the problems with the
increased traffic because of the
student growth."
As the final speaker, ASI
President
Manal
Yamout
thanked the audience for staying even though it was starting
to rain. Yamout emphasized
how she has seen the level of
student involvement increase
over the last few years as the
campus has grown and encouraged students to run for office in
the upcoming ASI election. ASI
has had a very busy year registering over 800 students to vote,
lobbying at the state capitol for
student rights and arranging
many campus events such as
the upcoming Academic Freedom Forum which will be held
March 22.
"After the formal speeches, the
panel accepted questions from
the audience regarding how the
university is going to handle the
traffic issues, improve the academic advising department and
deal with budget constraints.
President Haynes was asked
about the controversial bill SB5,
which she denounced as an illthought out bill that clearly
does not understand what universities are about and misrepresents what faculties are hired
to do. As the rain began to fall
in earnest, it was announced
that all of the questions would
be posted and answered on the
ASI website which can be found
at: www.csusm.edu/asi.

sports will help instill a sense
of campus unity. "I love the
sports we have now, but they are
not spectator sports. It's really
hard to watch a cross-country
meet, so we want to bring sports
* that have spectator appeal," said
Nichols.
CSUSM has approximately 80
students participating in intercollegiate sports. "By the time
all the new sports have kicked
in, it would double or triple our
current size," said Nichols.
Nichols added, "If wq have
more recognizable sports teams,
it will make the degree more
valuable because people have
heard where you've graduated
from."
"Personally, I'll gain nothing
as a student," said Linda Deblens, literature and writing grad
student.
"Since I did my undergrad
at a school that had a rich athletic tradition, I support the referendum as I know the positive
aspects it can bring to student
life," said Ian Gould, ASI post
baccalaureate representative.
"Our office only offers neutral information so students can
make an informed decision,"
said Francine Martinez, vice
president of student affairs. "I
think students need to get this
information so they can make
their voices heard on whether or
not this is an important initiative
for them," said Martinez.
Information about the athletics fee referendum is available
through student affairs. The
athletics department plans to
campaign for the new fee in the
next coming weeks with classroom presentations and student
forums. Students will vote on the
fee March 21-24. The complete
athletics fee referendum can be
found at www.csusm.edu/student affairs/athleticvote.
The Pride denied ballot access
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Next month, Cal State San
Marcos students will be asked
to vote on a new mandatory $40
fee to fund campus Athletics;
they will not be asked to vote on
a new mandatory $2.50 fee to
fund the student newspaper.
The Pride submitted a fee proposal last fall that would have
generated approximately $ 18,000
per semester to cover production costs of the weekly studentrun, student-written newspaper,
eliminating budget gaps caused
by inlying on the Instructionally
Related Activities (IRA) fee,
which nearly ended production
of The Pride in 2003.
"As it stands right now, The
Pride is not going to shut down;
we can survive on what we get
from IRA," said Elizabeth Baldwin, Pride Co-Editor-in-Chief.
"What I mean by survive is
black and white, eight pages, all
semester."
When asked what the fee
would have meant to The Pride,
Baldwin was matter-of-fact.
"The immediate impact that
the fund would have made on the
newspaper would have been an
immediate jump to a consistent
twelve pages a week with color-every single week—minimum,"
said Baldwin.
Mike Dolan, Pride Co-Editorin-Chief, also saw the Pride proposal in terms of other groups on
campus vying for IRA funds.
"To get The Pride away from
the IRA funding would have
opened up funding for more
activities on campus, and provided more autonomy for The
Pride," said Dolan.
Both Dolan and Baldwin
believe the switch to color would

have had an increasingly positive effect.
"Having color in a newspaper
always increases readership. We
had projected doubling our circulation immediately to 5,000
copies—eventually distributing
off-campus; right now we don't
even have a stand at the Field
House," said Baldwin.
The addition of color and
increased circulation would have
meant an increase in advertising
rates, which would have allowed
The Pride to buy things like
office furniture and computers,
and send more students to journalism conferences. Baldwin
was emphatic that the fee was
strictly limited to covering production costs.
"We were asking students to
pay for the cost of the printed
paper they pick up," said Baldwin.
In a memorandum dated January 14, 2005, Pride editors were
informed of President Haynes
decision not to solicit input from
students on The Pride fee p ro-.
posal.
"I was very shocked," said
Baldwin.
"I was shocked
because I felt like we put
together a very thorough proposal. I was shocked because we
were only asking for $2.50, and
the fact that we were modeling
v a program that's already been
in place at Sac(ramento) State,
where they've (their newspaper
program has)flourished."
"That's the system," added
Dolan. "We did our best—
we went through the system.
The President thinks Athletics
has more of an impact on the
campus."
When asked how she felt about
the Athletics proposal going forward, Baldwin was stoic.
"I personally feel athletics is a
good thing for a campus, but I'm
just so shocked. I really don't
think this is like the newspaper versus the athletics department. What we were asking for
is so much less—why couldn't we
be on the ballot together?" said
Baldwin.
It has since been confirmed

went against the recommendation of the Student Fee Advisory
Council (SFAC), which has a student majority membership and is
chaired by Francine Martinez.
"The counsel did recommend (to President Haynes)
that the student newspaper fee
be included on the ballot; we
think it's important that students
weigh in (on the issues)," said
Martinez.
When asked how frequently
the University President has
exercised his or her power not
to accept the SFAC's recommendation, Martinez responded that
former President Gonzalez did
so twice during his six years at
CSUSM, "on two different recommendations—a (mandatory
fee) referenda recommendation
and on a user fee adjustment."
Haynes' decision not to allow
students to vote on the student
newspaper fee would be her first
exercise of that power; Haynes
had been president of CSUSM
for less than one year at the time
of her decision.
Haynes was unavailable for
either an in-person or a telephone
interview, but did answer several
questions via email. When asked
why she didn't include The Pride
proposal on the referendum,
Haynes expressed concern over
the current climate for increasing student fees.
Haynes stated that, "the Chancellor's Office (where the final
decision is made regarding the
establishment of new student
fees) has requested that campus
Presidents exercise close scnitiny
in establishing new mandatory
fees " The Pride has requested
confirmation of this directive
from Chancellor Reed's office,
but it was not received prior to
press time.
Both Haynes and Martinez
believe that passage of the Athletics fee could benefit The Pride
by frèeing up IRA funds from
Athletics. In addition, Haynes
stated that, "The IRA fee will be
assessed this spring to determine
if increasing this fee could support the newspaper at a higher
level."
The IRA fee has not been
increased since its establishment
in 1991.
Haynes denied that The Pride's
coverage of Michael Moore last
semester influenced her decision.
When asked if the fee would
have meant an increase in salaries for editors of The Pride—
which currently range from nothing for Copy Editor to $2,500 for
Co-Editor-in-Chief per semester, Baldwin said, "No-the fee
proposal was only to cover the
actual costs of printing."
The Athletics Department
has other ideas about spending
their potential referendum windfall. According to the Athletics
Fee Referendum Voter Information web page prepared by the
Student Fee Advisory Council (http://www.csusm.edu/student_affairs/athletic_vote.htm),
the proposed mandatory $40
Athletics fee will generate nearly
$300,000 per semester, most of
which will pay the salaries of
additional coaching staff. Athletics hopes to increase staff salaries from $40,000 per semester
to nearly $200,000 per semester
as it adds five new sports to the
four it currently offers.

�GEL course
requirement
Teaching freshman to be
well-rounded citizens
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Most students are confused, others are
angry, but despite the feelings involved
with the course, it is the end result that has
an impact on the students of Cal State San
Marcos. The General Education Lifelong
Learning or GEL is a class that is aimed
at making freshman learn studying tools,
and also become well-rounded responsible
citizens.
First off, GEL was first introduced into
the campus curriculum in 1995, when
the first freshmen were enrolled at the
campus. The course was intended to get
students involved with the campus; and it
was designed to help with academic discipline; help students to choose a major, and
finally to assist students in the retention of
knowledge gained from their courses.
In spite of the objectives of the class,
which seem like a great way to start off
freshman year, the students of CSUSM
aren't too thrilled about GEL. Students
around campus feel that getting into college itself means that we can successfully
manage time and study, some of the basic
teachings of the class. But is there more
to this class than meets the eye? After an
interview with Joanne Pedersen, Ph.D.
the Associate Director for First-Year Programs, she said, "The purpose of GEL is
to enhance student success." This seems
like a pretty large goal at hand and one that
is quite intangible at the freshman level.

G E L s tudents s it attentively d uring lecture.
Mark Thomas, a student at CSUSM
said, "I just don't understand why we
have to pay for a class
that the majority of
students don't need to
take." Despite having to
take a class such as GEL
to complete a government required course, it
should be a class that is
worth taking, but most
students do not feel that
way while taking the
class.
"Studies done by multiple universities," Pedersen said, "show
that 30-40% of students drop out between
their freshman and sophomore year." Pedersen later went on to say that with proH^HM
grams like GEL, studies show that students
are less likely to drop
out and receive a better
GPA throughout their
college life. With this
knowledge in hand it
seems that GEL is a spot
on perfect example of a
freshman general education course. But students still aren't happy
with the initial impact of
the course. Before dreading going to class,
think of how this class will benefit your

future. Due to the simple topics at hand,
or the things that all freshman "think they
automatically know" coming into this new
school, it seems that students aren't taking
this course seriously. Yet in the long run
this course will help students no matter
how they feel in the present time. Down
the road it could help students like Mark
to acquire a job with skills he learned in
the class.
So before the class is judged by its surface, kind of like a book is judged by its
cover, sit down and listen to the professors
and hear what they have to say. Maybe
new students will retain some of that
knowledge. After all that was the goal of
the course in the first place.

Ishmael Reed to CSUSM as part of the Arts
& Lectures series. Dr. Sam Hamod, a creative writing professor and a good friend
of Reed's, unabashedly introduced him as,
"one of the world's greatest writers."
Poetry is at its best when it is read aloud,
and Reed captivated the audience with his
rich, booming voice. He shared poems
from a new album that he is producing
called, "Bad Mouth," which is being distributed by Blue Note Records. The appreciative crowd burst into laughter at many
of his one-line poems such as; "Van Gogh
killed himself because he felt that sooner
or later his paintings would be displayed
in Las Vegas," or "I'd rather have my short
term memory back than an El Dorado
Cadillac." His longer pieces titled; "In a
War Such Things Happen," and "Wanting
to be a Right Wing Family Values Type of
Man," were heartily applauded as the audience absorbed the underlying meanings of
his satirical messages. Student Bellamy
Walker said that, "It was really amazing
to hear such an intellectual speak on our
level and about our issues for black Americans."
After reading his poetry, Reed held a
question and answer session. When asked
how he finds his ideas, Reed stated that
he gets them from many different places
because he gets asked to do so many dif-

ferent things. This variety is good because
writing in different forms helps to unblock
your mind. In addition to his books he has
written numerous essays, opinion pieces,
and five plays. His next project will be to
write a book about Muhammad Ali and
his spiritual beliefs.
Sonia Gutierrez, a former CSUSM grad
student said, "I am a great admirer of African American literature and that is where
I find my own voice " Gutierrez, who now
teaches at Palomar College, had cancelled
her evening class to come and hear Reed
speak.
After the lecture Reed stayed and graciously signed autographs for the many
admirers of his craft. His visit was definitely one of the highlights of the activities celebrating Black History Month at
CSUSM.
�Transition team at CSUSM Rodolfo Acuña to
VUSD students interact with campus life
BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Areli, J.R., Justin, Bruce,
Vianey, Rusby, Armando, Marcella, and William are the students who help keep our campus
clean. These students are part of
a transition program run through
Vista Unified School District in
conjunction with the Facility Services Department of CSUSM.
The transitional program itself
has been in operation on campus
for ten years with the main
focus being a way for the students involved to gain life skills,
practice personal autonomy, and
learn work habits such as following directions and seeing a task
through to the end.
Students involved in the transition program work Monday
through Thursday from 7:15 a.m.
until 1:15 p.m. Depending upon
where the students live, their day
begins anywhere from 5:30 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m.
Once on campus, the students,
accompanied by their teachers
Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski,
meet in the dome and receive their
duties for the day. The student's
main duty is to clean campus but
Photo by Loriann Samano / The Pride
Molina said "the students do
what ever is asked of them and
there is always variation."
Like most eighteen to
twenty-two year olds, the student's favorite part of the day
is break time. This gives the
students a chance to eat lunch
in the Dome and gain additional social skills through
interaction with the student
population here on campus.
The students involved with
the transitional program are
excited with the opportunity
of being able to interact with
other students and observe
day to day campus life.
All students involved in
the transitional program were
enthusiastic with the only
complaint being witnessing
other students litter and disrespecting our beautiful second
home.
"This is an excellent opportunity for them to develop life
skills and we also get to benefit from them," said Chuck
Walden, director of facility
services. "I think they are a
great group of young people."
The transitional program is
both innovative and outstanding for all parties involved.
So next time you see these
students keeping our campus
clean give them a smile, hug,
or a high-five and express to
them our gratitude f or a job
well done.

Priority President Evan Trown meets with The Pride
BY ZACHERY SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
The fickle Gods of Time and Information always seem to make themselves
scarce when students consider joining a
campus club. Still, those searching defiantly for a group to exercise their beliefs,
rather than merely their tastes, might take
a moment for any of the three Christian
organizations here at CSUSM.
To help provide some guidance, The
Pride has conducted interviews with two
club leaders and hopes to include the
third as well. This week we'll be sharing our conversation with Evan, president
of 'Priority Christian Challenge', following up next week with Paul from 'Christ
on Campus'. The questions were intended
to give students, and perhaps the leaders
themselves, a better idea of the beliefs that
govern these clubs.
Evan Trown's first hello into the tape
recorder is nervous, new to the format, but
a pleasant humor suppresses any shyness.
Let's get some background on the
club, how long has it been active here at
CSUSM?
Priority started about 5 years ago, and
I've been here for two.
How long have you been the president?
Actually I just started in December. So
I was the vice president last semester, and
then got promoted.
Was this a democratic process? How
did that go in terms of the ranking?
Pretty much is...if you feel like you're

What do you think is the best part about reach things outside of the campus but

Well At least for us here on this campus
Now, what would you say are some of

I know there's two other Christian clubs uh (chuckles a breath) the unsaved people
that um oppose the things that our clubs
does and just the difficulties and the whole
process of having to go through the secular
campus, uh, rules and regulations before
we can have any sort of events.
Thank you...Um, Gettin down to the
final questions here. Does your club
have a unified concept of heaven?
I think so, most of us, uh, were, well a
lot of us were raised in church settings,
so most of us have some preconceived
notions of everything, that basically what
we learn in our club, from past church
experiences and what not, so really think
do have kinda...a common belief in what
heaven is, and that kind of a thing.
Do people who die having rejected
Christ go to Hell?
I believe so, yes. We um as a club and as
an individual believe that um people who
have not asked Christ to.. .have a personal
relationship with them are going to Hell.
And that.. .1 mean that says so right in the
bible, so.
Okay um, the final question, I know
you mentioned earlier there were two
other Christian...oriented clubs on
campus. Why do you think there are
three separate organizations?
You know a lot of people ask us that
question and we even ask ourselves that
question sometimes. Mostly, it's because
we're each funded by a dif church. So,
our club is funded by a Baptist organization, and Christ on campus, the other club
is sponsored by the Episcopalian church,
and Intervarsity has its own backing from,
I don't know, they're like a huge organization, So, pretty much because we all have
these different funds it actually allows us
to have um various times that we can meet

I can take off that fatty clock

Chez. The News did well last
week. I won't go Public Enemy
on our News editor this time,
He's moved up from Dan Rather
to Jon Stewart status in my
boofe^^^^^^^g^^v^
fll get to those praises later.
For now, my Chuck D eyes are
on last week's Opinion page.
What the hell was that?!
The Social Insecurity "debate'
suffered from serious probs of
the Sally Field Sybil sort. I realiae the Democrats were stomped
by the Grand Ole Elephants and
have been struggling to find
their identity, but I'm sure it's
not what was portrayed in last
week's issue. "From the Left/
From the Right" was nothin' of
the s ort It shouid'a been titled
"From the Extreme Right/Then
Right Again/'
Now, I'm an Independent
cause I could give a hoop~nah~
nah 'bout party loyalties. But,
after readin' what fell under the
'Left* column last week, I had
to rob my eyes and triple check
the by-line.
I was shocked to discover it
wasn't Bill O'Reilly.
Amira El-Khaouli needs to
give serious consideration to
changing party lines, cause she's
definitely in the wrong camp.
Move past GO and collect a
Libertarian's card cause even

Amira. You may do like them,
you may look like them, but you
ain't them.
When your words make Phoenix seem like the Green Party,
you've got issues.
And Amira's column last
week ain't even the real thorn
in me bum-bum. It's the fact
that our Editors-in-chief who've
taken over the Opinion pages,
either don't read whafs gettiiig
Bush budget
pasted in the tree-skins, don't
know their right from their left,
or don't give a damn what's getting put down under those distinctions. Let me clear it up for
you:
Left: "Social Security good."
Right: "Social Security bad."
And in the future, you may
want to know that generally
sgeaking...
•
JLeft: "Bush is an idiot."
* Right: "Bush may not have
'invented the Internet,* but I
know where he stands."
Left: "The war is for o il"
Right: "Like that's a bad
thing?! You planning on asking
the Spotted Owl to give you a
ride?"
Left: "Sponge Bob and Tinky
Winky have the right to suffer
the marriage penalty on taxes."
Right: "Sponge Bob and
Tinky Winky can have a civil
union, but no way will they get
'til death do us part."'
Everyone else: "Dude, it's a
talking sponge that wears pants
and an overweight purple thing
with a boob-tube in its belly.
Ya'll are freaks!"
Here endeth the lesson.
Now, onto praises.
Jason Williams finally spoke,
It's about friggin' tiipe, A lot
has been said on his behalf in
this paper, and Chez did a damn
fine job of getting it straight
from the source. And let me
just say* whether you take WilHams' side or not, you have to
give the dude credit for having
the mahooshkas to put himself
on the public opinion slab.
There's a lot of talking heads
on this campus that abuse this
paper to give their nickel opinions five-dollar words. (Count
me amongst 'em.) But Williams
ain't one of us. Until Chez's
article last week, Williams had
avoided attempts for an interview. To grant one in the face
of an investigation that found
Baker and Poncherello were
okay to put the cuffs on, shoots
down all theories that suspected
Williams was doing this just to
pull a 'Get Out of J ail'free card,
My ethereal hat goes off to Chez
and most of all to Mr. Williams.
Thank you.
'
And I'd like to throw in Matt
Schramm with that gratitude for
his front and center article on the
. "Advising problems." It wasn't
News to me, cause along with
my Lit. studies on big words
abusing French dudes who say
'History is narrative,' I've been
pursuing a major in that 'narratiye.' (I'm a History/Lit major if
you're missing the point)
An experience akin to custody
visits with divorcing parents*
Either way, I've been just as
much a victim of the advising
woes of History freaks as the
rest of me classmates. Matt balanced those woes with the reasons for them. Something that
tends to be lacking in our news
stories. I felt no manipulations
or bias, though I know Schramm
is a classmate and so faces the
same advising probs. It was nice
to get a balanced perspective on
the situation that didn't place
blame on the Advising office
who've been doing their best to
tackje that Beast that came from
Sacramento. (Budget cuts.)

different scales, it does cost more

is that the military is receiving a

In my opinion, that says something about the value of education versus the value of national

I think it's great that the President wants to cut our debt in half,
but at the expense of education?
Some of the programs that are
going to be cut from schools are
vocational programs at the high
school level, Safe and Drug-Free
School grants, money for technology, Upward Bound programs
for inner-city youth, and the Elementary and Secondary School
Counseling Program (ESSCP).
By cutting thè ESSCP, students
are going to lose counseling and

counselors will lose their jobs.
Counselors are crucial for academic success especially for students with learning disabilities.

I have to wonder why implement NCLB into high schools?
Isn't there already enough pressure to get into college without
the undue stress of annual standardized tests? Bush's purpose
is to narrow the achievement
gap between richer districts and
poorer districts. I agree with
what Bushy has to say about
quality education, narrowing the
achievement gap and providing
equal education to children of
all backgrounds...I just disagree
with the way he goes about doing
it. There is no incentive for high
school students to do well on
yearly standardized testing, in
fact the worse they do, the more
money their school will get with
Titfe I funding. It is still their
SAT scores that are going to get
them into college.
Well, I will benefit from Bush's
Pell Grant increase (it pays to
not be employed and to be a full
time student), but I just don't see
how elementary and secondary
schools are going to benefit.
�A shot of

bureacratic

BY MICHAEL DOLAN
Pride Staff Writer
If you have been at Cal State San
Marcos for a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the CORE survey o f2002.
The CORE survey examined the drinking
habits of CSUSM students. Not surprising,
we learned that there was not a significant
problem with excessive alcohol consumption at our school. (Who could forget the
mouse pads and posters blasting us with
statistics designed to make us think otherwise before having that third or fourth
drink when out on the town?)
Why is it that CSUSM has now received
a $48,000 portion of a state grant designed
for alcohol and traffic safety? It seems to
me that if there is not a significant problem with drinking on campus, and the student population in general cannot be categorized as "problem drinkers," then what
exactly will the University implement with
this money?
According to the January 31 press release
announcing this award, the money will go
to further surveys and research aimed "to
identify the highest risk alcohol-licensed
establishments patronized by San Marcos
students." These 'problem' bars in the.
community will then be subject to "comprehensive risk assessment inventories"
Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride
that will give the University information
to dissuade students from going to those
places. In addition, the bars that are identified as problematic will find themselves
in a Big Brother dragnet as the University teams with local law enforcement "to
increase visibility of DUI checkpoints in
and around areas frequented by students."
Am I the only one who is creeped out with
a chill of fascism?
First off, the University must back off.
If students are of legal drinking age and
are respected as individuals, then the
choices they make are their own. If they
want to go to a bar and drink, the University should not interfere. If they want to
test the waters and run the DUI gauntlet,
then let law enforcement do their job without the information of where and when
students will be drinking being hande4 to
tirads-' I t '
them by the University. This is the worst
kind of liberal left 'we know what is best
for you' combined with fastidious right
'you will fall in line and do what we say is
right' I have seen proposed on our campus.
I drink in San Marcos often at places I
can safely assume will soon be 'problem'
bars. I drive home from these bars. I am
a responsible adult of 28 years and know
when not to drive home after drinking. I
do not, however, look forward to ditching
checkpoints on my way home so that I can
avoid an arbitrary and static BAC standard
which if I exceed will land me in jail. This
is soon the reality, though. I hope the University reconsiders its priorities. Failing
that, I hope the people stand up and call
for responsible accountability of their tax
dollars from where this grant money originates.

ASI hosts Casino Night
in the Field House
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
What happens in the Field House, stays in the
Field House.
All that was missing was the noisy clamor of
the slot machines when the ASI sponsored Casino
Night last Thursday. Participants were handed
$500 in play money as they came in the door,
which they traded in for chips to play poker, roulette or blackjack. Dealers in white shirts and bow
ties from Casino Magic ran the tables.
Erik Groset, the Director of Social Programming for ASI was in charge of the event, attended
by around 200 people.
"I couldn't have done it without the help of the
ASI Program Board," said Groset. The group is
planning another evening within the next few
months that would feature poker games.
Mike Louzek, waiting for a spot to open up on

one of the popular poker tables, said he was, "winning massive amounts of money and having lots
of fun."
As they finished playing, players traded their
chips for raffle tickets that they could put in boxes
to win prizes. Drawings were held at the end of
the evening and lucky winners went home with
prizes like: a trip for two to Laughlin, the Halo 2
game for X-Box, a George Foreman grill, a cordless mouse, an I-Pod Shuffle, and many more.
Travis Roger, who attends Palomar, but lives in
the UVA was checking out the prize table with
his roommate Jorgen Havre who is from Bergen,
Norway.
"I am having f un enjoying the American lifestyle," said Havre. He laughingly added that he
is, "looking for an American sweetheart to bring
back to Europe."
Casino Night was a lot of f un because you didn't
have to drive to Vegas forfive1hours, if you lost
your shirt they gave you a free one, and heck, you
weren't losing real money anyway.

tries to collect as many souls as
it can, and the one with the most
souls wins. Milton, a pro-Protestant, would not be too keen on the
idea that the Catholics of Constantine are the heroes.
Constantine was born with a
gift that he doesn't understand.
He eventually attempts suicide
but doesn't succeed and returns
to Earth after a spell in Hell.
Catholic doctrine states that suicide is a one-way ticket to Hell,
so Constantine develops his skill
of sending demons home in order
to secure a ticket into Heaven. He
is recruited by Angela (Rachel
Weisz), to solve the unanswered
question of why her sister committed suicide. Along the way,
they battle demons with weapons

of angelic origin.
The highlights of the movie are
the special effects and action. If
the plot is overdone, or even confusing, the action should keep
you entertained. It received an
"R" rating and maybe saved the
movie for me. A "PG-13" would
have been too boring with the
bad acting and old plot. It has
some gory scenes that may even
rival that of "The Exorcist," but is
counteracted but a lot of dry, dark
humor by the character Constantine. The story is far from original, and has been better explained.
In fact I could count the number
of movies it borrowed from, like
"The Prophecy", "Blade" and
even "Dogma."
As usual, Reeves pulls a subpar performance, I still don't
understand why someone with
the personality of a wooden doll
seems to keep getting work. I
do give him credit for trying a
character with a morose sense
of humor, but he delivers it with
force. Even Weisz seems to be
brought down by Reeves and
acts below her norm. There was
a surprising performance by rock
star Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He
brings an eerie performance to
the demon Balthazar.
If the movie's purpose was to
produce an original story with a
great plot or even good acting, it
failed. If its purpose was to make
an action film based on a comic
book, with decent special effects,
then it did a good job.

The War Debate
Strong Emotions in a
Sensitive Time
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
The College Republicans
and Progressive Activist
Network (PAN) hosted the
War Debate
Wednesday
at the Mezzanine Plaza
in a collaboration that is
considered rare because of
their differing ideologies. The
debate was held to discuss the
different aspects of the war,
f rom both a conservative and
a liberal perspective.
The event was mediated
by each of the College
Republicans
and PAN
presidents, Sean Mattingly and
Manal Yamout respectively.
Each organization supplied
one speaker to debate the
war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer
and former chairman of the
California Republican Party
represented the sentiments
of the College Republicans.
Sean Bell, veterans advocate
and vice president of the San
Diego Veterans for Peace,
chapter 91, spoke on the behalf
of PAN. Bell is also a former
marine who served actively
in 1990-1994, including time
in Iraq.
shouting and name-calling
at both speakers. Steel
commented that the protestors
had a "complete separation
from reality" and a "hatred
of America." Several students
yelled back "Who hates
America?" In response to the
question, "Why has this war
inspired the biggest anti-war
movement?" Steel responded
that is was not anti-war but
"pro-tyranny." A student
yelled that the debate was
a "travesty, [that] students
should be speaking, [and
that] there [was] too much
control."
Both Mattingly and Yamout
repeatedly asked the audience
to be respectful, but it was
often out of their control.
The speakers did not always
disagree. Bell commented
on anti-war speeches given
by former Presidents James
Madison
and
Dwight
Eisenhower, to which Steel
conceded that they were
appropriate

They also agreed that
questioning the government
was not anti-patriotic. Bell

During the 1930's, Nazis burned
the works of famous intellectuals in
an attempt to keep their words and
thoughts from corrupting the citizenry.
It has been 70 years since this infamous
book-burning, but book burnings still
occur in this country on rare occasions,
one of the most recent taking place in
January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and
some of Shakespeare's works, claiming
that they were "satanic depictions."
Book burning was more effective
before the days of mass printing, and
is currently used primarily as a shock
tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been
much more common. Using legal means
to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity
laws, regulating their own punishments
and standards, which applied to books,
devices, and films.
» —••
|
In 1957, the Supreme Court declared
that if a work of art had significant social
value, it was not obscene. The case was
revisited in 1960, when the Court added
that it was necessary to censor material
"lacking in social value" or that was "no
essential part of the exposition of ideas."
This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not
defensible by the First Amendment.
Schools and public libraries often ban
books with questionable content that
they consider obscene. In the interest of
protecting minors, local school boards
have authority in deciding whether or
not a work is obscene in their district.
In the decentralized educational system,
small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After
the implication of the Pico standard in
1975, where a high school student took
his school board to court for banning a
book, school boards are allowed to ban
works based on vulgar content, but not
for subversive ideas. When presenting
the case for banning a book, pressure
groups have to be careful to attack the
work's content, not its ideas.

The Center for Disease

a total of 2,781 cases of
SARS worldwide, with 170

California. Currently the
virus has claimed 111 lives
worldwide, but no deaths

In San Diego there has

County Public Health Services (PHS) announced
on April 7 that they were

As of April 9, the PHS

Book Burners
Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the
struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against
Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the
historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having
violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between
Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax
County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate
depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter
books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and
witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and
something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with
the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas.

partisan disapproval." When asked if a special interest group,
such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked
that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such
request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not
to say we would agree to remove the book."
Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at
the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding
to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies
which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law
claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering
software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to
constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the
act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed
in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the
American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law.
Among the most frequently banned books in public school
libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK
Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual
content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship. A

Where's The Booze?
Part 2: The
Administration
By DAVE WERTH
Pride Staff Writer
The quest for knowledge
as to the history and idea of
a potential pub at CSUSM
continues. A small percentage of a powerful and
growing student voice has
been expressed thus far,
and now the issue becomes
clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers
the question: Where's The
Booze?
CSUSM Senior Director
for Health, Counseling,
and Disability Services
Susan Mitchell was more
than delighted to help
answer this question. She
noted that the San Marcos
campus is by no means a
dry campus. In fact, with
proper approval, beer and
wine may be served on
campus. In addition, the
new student housing will
not have a prohibition on
alcohol.
There is, however, a long
list of rules that accompany these allowances.
Policy states that alcohol
consumption is allowed in
student housing, as long
as the person is at least
21 years old. In addition,
large quantities of alcohol
may not be brought into
the housing. These large
quantities pertain mostly
to kegs of beer. How the
school plans make a judgment on large quantities of
hard alcohol and wine is
somewhat of a mystery.
The school policy for
alcohol
consumption
on campus differs dramatically from the student
housing policy. Alcohol
consumption by anyone
on the CSUSM campus
is prohibited, even if the
person is 21 years of age.
The exception to this rule
is if alcohol is being served
at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a
school sponsored function,
and with approval from the
president's office. Approval
for consumption of alcohol at such an event must
be requested at least four
weeks in advance. There
also must be approval for
the use of facilities, along
with approval from several
different
administrative
offices. Even then, only beer
and wine may be served,
and it must be served by a
properly licensed distributor or catering service.
Although Mitchell provided excellent information
on issues relating to alcohol
within educational institutions, she also found herself
stumped as to why there is
no pub on the San Marcos
campus. She offered the
suggestion that a pub may
have never been suggested
by anyone, up to this point.
A fter a lengthy interview
with Mitchell, she summed
up her feelings on the topic
by saying, "It's not so much

is no pub at CSUSM. He did,
however, express confidence
when saying that he believed that
the idea of a pub has never been
formally suggested. Instead he
believed that it has been a topic
that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus
from time to time, but never taken
beyond that.
Community perceptions of
CSUSM, campus safety, drunken
driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by
a pub, have all been suggested
as reasons why Cal State San

the best answer that could be
provided was that the idea of
a pub has never been formally
suggested. Whether or not a
pub is something that students
would like to see at CSUSM is
debatable. What is clear, is that

the first step, and may be the only

D ON'T ABUSE
YOUR F REEDOMS
I was pleased at the
overwhelming turnout of
students at the April 9th
war debate sponsored by
the College Republicans
and PAN. The event was
very well organized and for
the most part ran smoothly.
Unfortunately, there were
some people who chose
to disrupt the assembly by
inappropriately
shouting
out rude, personal, and
unfair comments, as well
as obscene gestures to Mr.
Steel.
As Americans, we have the
right to speak freely, but
this does not mean that we
have the right to use abusive
speech or encroach and
trample on other people's
rights. While I must
commend the majority of
the liberals attending the
event for not participating in
such immature tactics, I also
find it interesting that the
only individuals who chose
to act in such a manner were
the very same people who
advocated for "peace."
But then it was just last week
that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat
advocator of peace, said
that the U.S. also needs a
"regime change," which by
definition involves forcibly
removing a dictator from
power. While the "corporate
media" is quick to show
protesters in the streets of
New York or San Francisco,
the truth is that 78 percent of
Americans support the war
with Iraq, and 69 percent
of Americans approve of
the way Bush is conducting
the war (4/03/03, Opinion
Dynamics Poll).
Since these abusive words
of treason came from a
Democratic
presidential
candidate, it really is no
surprise that liberals on
campus would follow the
example of this country's
left wing leadership, and
encroach on Mr. Steel's
rights. Your words and
actions spoke louder than
the "peaceful" protest signs
of your movement, and
you truly showed the true
character of the bleeding
heart liberal.
Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the
streets of Baghdad at the
toppling of Saddam's statue,

Sure 82 casualties doesn't
compare to the previous
wars Americans have
fought in, but that is still 82
dead people and counting,
and thousands more lives of
friends and family that have
been drastically affected.
I know that many people
join the military for lots
of reasons, many of which
don't include protecting
the country, like benefits, a
stable pay check, to make
something out of their lives,
to travel, to get financial

out from any pressure at
home. Soldiers are owned,
which is why they're called
military property; their job
comes first no matter what,
and they don't have much of
a say in it either.
One can argue that even if
our first motive for the war
wasn't to disarm Saddam,
it is still our motive to free
the people from Saddam's
tyranny and oppression. We
have the ability and so it is
our responsibility. That is a
valid point. The people of
Iraq have been oppressed by
their own ruler and have the
right to be free. Many Iraqis
would want to live free and
not under Saddam's regime.
If we never find WMD then
of course our motive is to
free Iraq, but it wasn't like
that in the first place. It'
just funny how later on in
the war the ideal of freeing

A s America fights a war witto
Iraq, some people are looking1 at
the l awf M p&ce and questioning
the security of personal liberties,
while otters are willing to lose
some rights in exchange? for safety.
Looking at the history of America,
civil liberties are often a victim of
war.
To better understand the threat
that war poses to civil liberties, it
is important to review civil liberties
in the past wartimes of America.
In 1798, only, 10 years after the
ratification of the Constitution,
America entered the Quasi War
with France and passed the Alien
and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among
other laws, the acts made it illegal to
protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's
policy, a direct violation of the f irst
Amendment. The Act was not very
jpovtërfiil because!! only resulted in
25 arrests, of i #Iich only 10 wetSè
convicted- *
.
In the 1860s, President Abraham
•Lincoln, in order to "keep the union
together," passed emergency Jaws
that violated the Fifth Amendment
and Habeas Corpus, outlined in
Section 9 of the Constitution.
Military commanders were allowed
to suspend due process and were
held prisoners for years without a
trial or at times, without suspicion
pf a crime.
The Espiona|e Act of 1917,
which was passed during World
War I, allowed for the prosecution
of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000
of them. When ratified in 1918, it
forbade opposition to the war by
banning "disloyal utterances Such
utterances included "unpatriotic"
conversation.
For instance,
criticizing the Young Men's
Christian Association (YMCA) and
the Red Cross was also considered
unlawful. Other comments that
were banned were those questioning
the U.S. aad British- relationship,
discouraging women from knitting
socks for the troops, and citing ¡¡¡at
contrary t o the teaching of
Jesus.

"The Yellow Ribbon Program is a suicide prevention
program that is worldwide,
that serves all 50 states and 47
other countries," said Hilz. "I
became interested in the program when my good friend
committed suicide when I
was 15 and they were handing
these cards out at his funeral."
The small white cards have a
yellow ribbon printed on one
side with a caption that says,
"This ribbon is a lifeline." A
person in distress can hand
the card to someone, a parent,
a friend, a pastor, or a doctor
to reach out and ask for help.

According to the National
Mental Health Awareness
Campaign, suicide is the
leading cause of death among
college students. Going to
college can be an especially
difficult time of adjustment
for students, many of whom
are leaving home f or the
first time. Other stresses
include leaving family and
friends, high expectations of
academic- success, increased
amount of homework, and, for
some, working while going to
school. These stresses can
cause depression to appear
for the first time, or aggravate
existing depression.

"Higher education has
become more important than
ever to ensure America's
economic prosperity, national
security, and health. Yet
swelling enrollments among
low-income and working
class families, massive state
budget cuts, and rising tuition
continue to strain our ability
to ensure access to a college
education for all Americans,"
said Representative George
Miller, the Senior Democrat
on the House Committee on
Education and the Workforce.
Miller, a Democrat from
California, introduced two
higher education bills to
the House Committee in
Washington on Mar. 18,
2003, known as the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act and the College
Opportunity for a Better
America Act.
According to the official
remarks made by Miller at the
presentation to the House of
Representatives, the College
Affordability and Lifetime
Savings Act proposes to help
ease the burden of student
loan debt for millions of
Americans. The act will
possibly change the current
student loan tax deduction
benefit to a tax credit - which
will deliver a larger rebate
on the interest paid on
student loans to borrowers.
The savings for the typical
borrower who is earning
$20,000 a year will more than
triple to $347 in theirfirstyear
of repayment.
The
Department of
Education has reported that 7
million students are expected
to take out federal student
loans to cover the costs of
their education this year

Luan Rivera, representing
the Yellow Ribbon Program,
said, "I want to acknowledge Lindsay because she's
worked really hard to bring
the program here." She also
added, "I wish [suicide]
didn't exist. But it does and
it's a growing problem."
Rivera said that the actual
statistics for suicide are much
higher than reported because
police won't label a death a
suicide unless there's clear
evidence, such as a suicide
note, that the death was
intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear
and alarming. Eleven young
people, between the ages
of 15 and 24, die by suicide
every day in this country.
Since 1990, there has been
a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the
ages of 10 and 14 years old.
"Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It
is not particular to one race
or socio-economic group.
But, Rivera said, "Suicide is
not about death and not about
dying - it's about
ending the pain."
Some signs that someone
may be considering suicide
are:
Depression or withdrawal
Changes in sleeping or eating
habits
Giving away possessions

Shems performed a piece

as she approached issues of
a woman's identity in U.S.
society by matching images
of herself, as daughter, child,
and friend, with related
terms such as submissive,
witch, and skank. She also
used music as another way
to express her dissatisfaction
about the way women are
represented or treated in our
society, by describing the
likes of Wendy 0 . Williams,
Blondie and Gwen Stefani
with terms like "twat," "slut"
and "goody goody."
The
evening's
last
performance, "Monster Grrrl,"
was performed by a brilliantly
blue haired Schaffman as she
flailed energetically about
the
classroom,
flopping
on tabletops like a fish out
of water, and flashing the
"Women Rights" manual to
her audience.
This and many other unique
and interesting events were
held on campus this month. "It
is a wonderful opportunity to
honor all those women before
us and today (including those
fictitious characters!) who
have worked and continue to
pave the way for equal rights,"
said Schaffman.
A panel made up of the
three
performers
gave
closure to the evening, as
the audience was encouraged
to ask questions and engage
with the current discussion of
Women's History Month and
Women's rights. The topics
addressed included the role
models of the three women,
which included mothers,
grandmothers, female artists,
and earlier "girl power"
movements in history as well
as the reasons each woman
gave for being active in such
an ambitious cause. When
rapper Goldstein was asked
about her f uture goals as an
artist she responded, "Being
Miss Liberty is all about
creating change and I plan on
doing it one rap at a time."
"It was actually pretty
shocking at first," described
audience member Ashley
Moses, "but I think that
was the point. I had never
considered some of the issues
presented by these women. It
really opened my eyes."

overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper
advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink
specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general?
If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of
the Office of Communications which puts out "In
the Loop" every week, allows student organizations
to advertise their social events at restaurant bars?
According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this
light (As barflies),so why does put out these social
gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8
P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations
getting special permission from the president's
office to do this?
What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am

The Pride relies on a limited budget given
to them by the university in order to operate. Many stories have been held back
from staff writers because of the lack of
funding. Why can't the same rules apply
for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop"
when it comes to advertising? Going this
route would give some power to The Pride
over what is published and what is not.
There are many bars and restaurants in
San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves,

I believe with the changing environment
going on at Cai State San Marcos there
should also be a change in the university's
primitive alcohol policies.
E ditor's N ote:
The Pride is currently undergoing negotiations with the office of Student Affairs and
Student Health Services in order to revise our current advertising policy. They have
been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates.
So the war has action,
intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects
that would give George Lucas wet
dreams. Add this to the fact that it
is brought to life by a gifted cast,
and by Hollywood standards,
you've got a winner. In almost
every respect it's the perfect
show. That's right, I said almost.
There are two key criticisms that
any true fan of high drama could
unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the
war itself is somewhat lackluster.
George Bush Sr.'s war was called
Operation Desert Storm. Now
that was a powerful name for a
military campaign. Operation
Iraqi Freedom is uninspired and
just doesn't do it for me. How
about Operation Finish What
We Started Twelve Years Ago?
That I could get behind. And the
second criticism is that it's just
not sexy enough. Every show on
television that is "all the rage" is
centered around sex. Let's face
it. Sex sells, and without it how is
the war supposed to compete with
shows like Blind Date, The Fifth
Wheel and VIP1
Yes, we all have a right to our opinions,
and we have a right to speak those opinions
freely. We don't have a right to abuse and
vandalize and assault. The Constitution
sanctions free speech; it does not sanction criminal behavior. Free speech must
be protected. Criminal behavior must be
prosecuted.

�A response to Anna Hall
I believe you have a misunderstanding of the concept of
conservatism. By all traditional
definitions, conservatism means
cautious, moderate, or disposed
to preexisting establishments,
institutions and norms. Simply
put, being a conservative means
not wanting to "rock the boat"
for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except
for independent media (both
left and right), is conservative.
ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all
broadcast to vast segments of
the American public — to people
with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because
of sponsorship, advertisements,
and for the sake of ratings* these
companies very shrewdly avoid
pressing any extreme opinion
(right or left), as they do not
want to alienate viewers. In this
sense, the media is neither left
nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to
"rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the
industry chooses not to side with
any particular cause; therefore,
by definition the media is very
conservative. Labeling the media
as conservative is not necessarily
a pejorative term though. It is
simply stating that the industry is
limiting the scope of discussion
and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias
is a two-way street.
My second point I wanted to
raise is your fear of liberalism of
which I will try to assuage. As
opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism
seeks to press the frontiers of
social progress. I assure you,
liberals are not "Pinko Commie
Socialists," they are people just
like you and me. However, rather
than embracing the status quo,
they challenge it in hopes of a
more positive future. The history
of the United States is rife with
such examples. The. American
Revolution: a small minority of
the colonial population decided
that they had had enough and it
was time to part with England.
Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a
pestering group of liberals waged
a 30+-year campaign to end the
horrid practice of slavery. In
the late 1800s, the working man
demanded his rights against the
evils of unrestrained business;
they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's
compensation, etc. After nearly
an entire century of agitation
and civil disobedience, women
procured suffrage with the 19th
Amendment. In the 1960s we
witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests.
Now it's a struggle for gay rights.
Even larger is the movement
against war with Iraq. None of
these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every
single one of them was labeled
as such. Without & doubt, the
men and women overseas risk
their lives to defend our freedom,
but we cannot forget, or simply
ignore, where these freedoms
came from in thè first place. We
need each other. That is the
beauty of democracy: we may not
see eye to eye, but together we
make it work.
liberalism for communism, and
conservatism for fascism. Your
level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle
Eastern Fundamentalism and is
quite disturbing. There is a large
difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and
frankly, fascism at home scares
me more than terrorism from
abroad. If you are so concerned
about PAN, you should stop by a
meeting; the door is always open.
Until then, stop with the witty
clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It
is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil
discussion.

Recently, I read your article on
Medical Marijuana. I found it
interesting that California passed
a proposition for the growing of
marijuana for patients that need
it for medical purposes. I think
this is wonderful because of all
of the sick people that can really
use something to make them feel
better.
However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these

whether or not the reason why
children are using marijuana
today is because they have such
easy access to it. This access
is either through a loved one or
someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis.
I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow
this product, then they are going

about those that are going through

they should be able to grow this

that doctors should set up labs

Even though patients are

In this time of uncertainty for
the United States, .it seems almost
frivolous to be discussing sports.
However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war
with Iraq. Interesting questions
have arisen, not about the content
of the games, but about whether
the games should even be played.
The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include
college basketball, professional
basketball, hockey, and baseball,
have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but
thus far have all decided to let the
games be played as scheduled.
First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled,
we would be letting the enemy

that sports play an intricate role in

it is through postponing sports

�Things You Need to Know About NAFTA
Dear Editors:
I am a freshman at the
university who is very
concerned with how little
students know about the
insulting fiasco that is
NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement).
Students should know about
the oppression that NAFTA
causes. The area that the
agreement affects most is
Latin America.
Albeit trade is way up from
seven years ago, there are
many problems that result
from this. In no way does
the lowered prices of goods
from increased competition make up for all the job
losses that emerged from
NAFTA, not to mention
all the environmental damages and social dislocation.
NAFTA supporters believe
that the agreement assists
Mexico's economy drasti-
cally, but they do not know
that the nation was already
liberalizing its economy
for the better before the
United States unnecessarily
stepped in.
They did this by beginning to invest in foreign
goods and dropping tariffs.
It's hard to tell whether the
Mexican economy would
be any better or worse
today if NAFTA had not
been agreed upon. During
the United States debate
over whether or not to pass
NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there
would be thousands of new
jobs per 1$ billion in trade
surplus, obviously assuming that the United States'
exports would explode
with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis
launched Mexico into a
recession, bringing the U.S.
trade into deficit with it (the
nation's exports surpassed
that of its imports), U.S. job
losses nearly reached the
hundred thousand mark.
It turns out that Clinton's
and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs
being created by x number
of billion dollars was
based upon guesses rather
than proof The massive
amount of layoffs caused
by NAFTA is indisputable.
In the U.S., nearly 150,000
laborers were eligible for

Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five
percent of them actually
received any assistance or
benefits from the program.
Generally speaking, laid
off U.S. workers earn a
much lower average commission after they find a
new job. While the loss of
jobs in the U.S. is easy to
recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing
jobs significantly under

became much more difficult for laborers to unionize
after NAFTA was passed.

Freshman,
A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist"
As a member of PAN, I could
not resist the urge of responding
to a letter, which is full of insults
and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed
mouths), written by someone
who actually does not deserve
to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying
a few things for those who read
the opinion titled "Slack Jawed"
written by Anna Hall, I decided
to write this letter.
First of all, I cannot understand
why you are so angry with PAN?
Why is it so hard for you to
accept the fact there are people
out there do think different
than you do? What happened to
democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions?
Did you come and try to talk to
one of us?
I have a solution though.
I challenge you to a political
debate. We can talk about any
ideology, any thinker, or any
writer. It would be a pleasure
for me to hear your criticisms of
Karl Marx and his works since
you sound like you know what
you are talking about in regards
to Marx and Marxist theories. I
would be delighted to hear your
disagreements of the Communist
Manifesto or The Capital. If you
wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies:
Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama,
William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz?
You pick. How about Islamic
fundamentalism and Sayyid
Qutb? Would you prefer to talk
about Jerry Falwell and Christian
Reconstruction theories? We can
go way back and discuss Plato,
Aristotle, St. Augustin. How
about we discuss the emergence
of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment
from Weber to Kant, Sartre to
Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke,
Mussolini to Lenin? If your
argument is that PAN members
are illiterate about politics and
political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl
Marx, I challenge you to come
and have a political debate with
me, serious offer. A person who
is capable of insulting, should
also be capable of putting out an
argument to back those insults.
Maybe after that you will learn
your lesson about not judging and
insulting people you don't even
know. Forget about Marx, I bet
you don't even know the difference between Communism and
Socialism.
Since elementary school we're
pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And
we're told that we need a degree
to succeed. I've been attending
CSUSM since the fall of 2002.
Since then, tuition has gone up
and parking fees have more than
doubled. And they continue to
increase.
Society looks at the lower class
and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to
attend a higher education system
without the money? Sure now
there are scholarships, but now
the middle class is the ones who
see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to
qualify for most scholarships yet
too poor to be able to pay for the
cost themselves without starching a penny here and there.
To get rich we must study, but
to study we must be rich. In no
way am I completely blaming
CSUSM for the tuition increase,
but for the parking fee increase
and the ones yet to come, those
words will be left unsaid. Sure
I can write the governor or
any other government official
and wait months, if at that, for
a response, but one voice is
never as strong as hundreds or
thousands. As for the parking
increase, it was said that there
was a window of opportunity to
discuss the matter. I remember
hearing about the meeting an
hour before it was supposed to
start.
Great notice.
Some of us have class that can't
be missed, exams, or even work.
The majority of students can't
just drop everything in an hour.
If something this important is up
in the air for discussion a good
amount of notice (say a week or
more) should be given, as well
as notification of the discussion
throughout campus. Because
of the outrageous parking fees,
students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and
soon in near by neighborhoods
(that are nearly a mile away from
campus). At least than we won't
have to worry about students not
getting enough exercise!
Concerning the tuition, I'm not
fighting for no fees, but at least a
sensible one. For students there's
three possible ways of dealing
with tuition: pay it yourself,
scholarships, or student loans. I
can see how paying it yourself
at a community college, but at
a four-year it's stress. Do I have
enough, what other bills will I
not be able to pay, how many
extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to
be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be

Higher Education is Not Cheap
Dear Editors:
going to disappoint you but your
letter did not offend me or upset
me at all. I just had a big smile
on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not
enough for some people to get
out of Junior High behavior
poor, of a minority, have good
grades, be involved in school
some how, and have racked up
community service hours.
And loans! It's the easiest at the
ftioment thing to do, but jafter that
it seems that you're getting your
pay back for years after. The rates
of tuition should be the same
always, increasing discourages
future students from applying to
a four-year school. Our society
stresses students to achieve high
education, yet makes it a great
expense that can't be obtained,
and on top of that continues to
raise the cost.
If the governor or a government
official builds his campaign on
what society values essential
- education - he or she should
increase the quality, not the
price.

56 school districts and

also graduating in May,
said that the overall fair
was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all

to say the teacher prep

and that the College of

Gonzalez Leaves CSUSM for CSU Sacramento
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
At the California State
University Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting it was
decided that CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez
would be the next president
at CSU Sacramento. Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced
their decision Thursday,
March 13 at Cal State Fullerton.
It seemed from an early
start that Gonzalez was
favored to be the new
president at Sacramento.
Gonzalez was the only
finalist who had worked
in the CSU system and he
had been personally asked
by Chancellor Charles B.
Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further
speculation that Gonzalez
would not have applied if
Reed would not support his
candidacy. Gonzalez has
denied this and believes
that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark
Kelso and University of
Houston President Karen
Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position.

University Village has hired the first
nine resident advisors (RA's) for CSUSM's
new student housing, which is scheduled
to open next fall. The advisors* current
CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious,
and excited to set the bar for future
RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of
CSUSM's 24-hour campus community.
Although the residence hall will not be
ready until next September, the RA's are
already working in full swing to prepare
for what they feel is a very exciting event.

Graduation Denied!
Out of State & Out of Luck
By AMBER ROSSLAND
For The Pride
As a productive member of the
CSUSM student community, I
reached for the stars and strived
for excellence. I was on the
dean's list of academic excellence
during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a
semester, maxing out on credits,
and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete
every course I thought I needed
for graduation.
Apparently,
however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my
success in the jumbled graduation
advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

On Thursday, Feb. 27, the editors
of The Pride were shocked to learn
about the possible departure of

- from the pages of the San Diego
Union Tribune and the North County
Times.
interview about the matter - than
most full time reporters. When
we are given more notice, we are
more able to-accommodate the busy
schedule of a university president
and other important sources for the
article.
CSUSM's
external
affairs
department, headed by Rick Moore,
failed to include The Pride when
"courtesy notices" were sent out to
the other papers on Feb 26. Moore
finally notified us on the morning
of Feb. 28.
But perhaps that's the point. This isn't
thefirsttime that The Pride has been
'unintentionally' left out ofimportant
events that are occurring on campus.
Many of you may remember last fall
when one of CSUSM's own students
had disappeared and
tragically committed
suicide.
Moore's
office and the local media had a press
conference with Alex Zingaro's
parents while the search for him was
still on, but The Pride was once again
left out of the loop - we found out
about that press conference from the
local papers as well.
Moore would have us believe that the
reason for the delay is because, as he
put it, the daily papers need more

something important happens. This
i s incredibly bad customer service.
EDITORIAL
In the past, Moore and other members
of his office have been quick to tell
the editors and staff writers that he
is "one of us." We have listened to
him tell us all about his stint with
other college newspapers, and what a
supporter he is of student journalism.
Moore's oversight in not notifying
The Pride staff of this important
story, and others like it - whether
it was intentional or nót - is
inexcusable. We are tired of being
ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to
be notified in the same way and at the
same time as airy other newspaper.
�C AMPUS LIFE
(for 24-hour permits) will
resemble the current rate of the
general permits that are offered
to all CSUSM students." First of
all, how is the term "current rate"
defined? The current rate of spring
passes is less money than the
raised price fall passes will be, and
the residence halls are scheduled
to open in the fall. So what price
will the residents be paying? No
matter how much the cost, student
residents will have a "reserved"
parking spot for the semester.
At least campus residents, in all
fairness, will have the privilege
to park on pavement for 24 hours
while many of us continue to park
in the mud and be out of the lot by
5:30 or fined.
Dear editors:

PARKING ISSUES
Dear Editors:
After reading The Pride article,
"CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour
campus," I was relieved to find
out that the university is indeed
concerned with the parking issue
here on campus, that is, only for
the fall residents of the University
Village apartments. According to
the article, a 24-hour parking lot
is currently under construction to
accommodate the 460 students
that will occupy the buildings
scheduled to open in fall '03. I
have yet to hear of any near future
solutions to the current parking
crisis on campus, but at least the
University Village residents will
be taken care of.
According to the article, "Prices
I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the
parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack
of spaces for Village residents
mean that regular parking will be
even more impacted during class
times? During the 2002-2003
school year, Cal State San Marcos
admitted more students than
parking accommodations were
available for. We are dreamers if
we believe this will change any
time soon, especially because the
more students the university lets
in, the more funding it will have
toward the parking structure that
our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't
the University plan for population
growth and facility expansion
long ago?
It is easy for administration to
decide that parking rates will
go up due to their lapse in logic
while the number of available
spaces will stay the same. And
now, the concern of the university
goes to the village residents and
their parking facilities. It must
be a coincidence that the students
who will be contributing more to
CSUSM's profit will be likewise
rewarded with benefits. It is clear
that Cal State is an institution for
the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and
not education is the driving force
behind the school. If I am going to
be treated like a consumer at this
university, then at least give me
some consumer rights.

for the past 12 years and as we all

increase would be from $5 to
$20 starting this summer with

H OW THE WAR IS
AFFECTING M Y
P OCKETBOOK
Consumers,
When I first arrived in Germany
in September of 2002, before
war with Iraq was imminent, the
exchange rate between the Euro
and the dollar was slightly in my
favor. In general it was about a 1
to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily
avoided the task of converting
amounts in my head when making
purchases or having to carry a
pocket calculator with me at all
times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was
5 dollars to me, and taking out
300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With
the US on the brink of war I have
watched the Euro grow to become
stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September
may not seem like a lot, but 10
cents on ever dollar means 30 lost
when I take 300 out of the ATM,
and it adds up. Since then, my
fellow American students and I
are constantly watching the rates
stray from our favor. One student,
enraged when she found a few
hundred dollars to be missing
from her bank account, realized
she hadn't been calculating the
exchange rate difference since it
had so drastically changed.
This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation
has weakend the American dollar.
My current Professor who is from
Australia even remarked that the
Australian dollar is the strongest
its been all year in comparison to
the American dollar. This is new
tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the
US Canadian border and fully took
advantage of the great exchange
rates to go shopping or go on a
short vacation. When I moved to
San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I
always thought exchanges would
be in my favor. This is a metaphor
for how I thought about cultural
relationships as well. In the past,
I believed that being an American
meant that people around the
world looked up to me. That I had
the better lifestyle and cultural
values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias
existed within me, and I didn't
even realize it until I ventured off
US soil for more than some cross
cultural shopping or a vacation.
how much they love America and
would like to live there, but that
I have met just as many people
who aren't at all thrilled with the
American way. This is perfectly
ok with me, in fact its wonderful.
In the same way I appreciate so
many things that my American
lifestyle affords me, others should
bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes
the world worth experiencing.
Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you
from seeing another way and view
on doing things. I only wish that
I could get my 10 cents back for
every time I have realized this.

POLITICS
Dear Editors:
A recent exchange of editorials in
The Pride newspaper regarding a
liberal bias on campus has deeply
troubled me. The latest response,
written by Sean Mattingly (junior,
Business)
was
particularly
specious. In it, he calls for liberals
to "have a little respect for your
country, its history, its founders,
and your freedom." Although no
one would argue with the ideals
his statement embraces, such
words do little to address the real
issues that endanger freedom in
our world today—nor do they
encourage the kind of constructive
analysis that is essential to any
thinking individual.
When we do take the time to study
our nation's history, we learn that
the struggles that have defined this
country are far from simple—they
can't be easily couched into a
neat little package and stamped
"freedom." The story of America
is, in fact, the story of the struggle
between classes. This is not, as
Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in
(our) mind(s)." There is no liberal
or conservative here, no right
or wrong—just facts inherent
to capitalism. Higher education
is a place for questioning and
reasoning, not a place for parroting
half-truths and clichés.
The fact that this nation was born
from—and developed alongside—
the class struggle is not something
to ignore in the name of some
larger sense of nationalism. What
we get then is only an ideology of
ignorance, and that is certainly not
what we all agree makes America
great.
Today exposure to the real issues
and perspectives from both
sides is very hard to come by.
The media system is controlled
by a handful of international
corporations and real investigative
journalism is fast becoming a
casualty of bottom-line profits.
Although it is difficult to gain
exposure to "both sides of the
coin," this is exactly what we must
strive for: a true understanding of
Living in Germany I see how
the motives behind the policies

their rules, systems, and ways
of doing things. Not to say that

determine our freedoms. We
must remember that money is a
very powerful motivator in the
contemporary world. We must,
especially as scholars, pursue all
avenues of thought and make
assessments of those perspectives
based upon knowledge. What I am
talking about here is intellectual
responsibility. There is nothing
more patriotic than this.
It is time to start demanding of each
other—and most importantly, of
ourselves—a greater commitment
to civic responsibility. This means
we must move outside the boxes
of thought that are imposed upon
us when we turn on the television.
We must remain skeptical—all
thinking people do. Today it is
more important than ever to do so,
as our country prepares to engage
in war, and likely without the
support of the United Nations—a
body politic that stands for the
collective voice of the civilized
world. Only through careful
consideration can we become
constructive participants in the
noble struggle to achieve "a
new birth of freedom—(so) that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth" (Abraham
Lincoln, 1863).

Okay then, why not go to another
country just for a few years, then
come back, look us in the eye, tell
us life is better somewhere else,
and prove us wrong? You do that,
and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's
Bowling for Columbine, which
showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny
I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did
not mean to go on such a long
tangent, but I felt those issues had
to be addressed. In closing: this is
a public institution. And therefore
it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs
over another. As my father likes to
say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you

INALIENABLE RIGHTS
Dear Editors:
I am responding to the editorials
in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride.
I would first like to point out that
not all conservatives think like
Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it
succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's
views "were perhaps branded at
a young age." I agree that his
verbiage comes across a bit terse
and offensive at times and it may
be due to his limited exposure to
differing opinions from his own.

too, must make an effort not to
alienate the opinions that are
different from his own. He should

regard each others as equals. So
why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn
right? If we all believed we were
truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated
with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences
in our 24-hour day and take it
for what it is: a passing, fleeting
instance. "This too will pass."
Sometimes, it takes a bigger
person to stand up and do what
is right instead of continuing this
cycle of negative debate. At some
point, we need to allow "bygones
to be bygones" and start over on a
clean slate. In doing this, respect
must be extended to everyone on
both sides of the coin in order to
facilitate this free exchange of
ideas.
We live in a very populated world.
People are not going to disappear.
So, why not enjoy them while we

DRIVING M E C RAZY
Dear Editors:
I was simply making a left turn
the other day when I discovered
what the majority of Americans
are made of. I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As
I heard a horn honk, I glanced
to my right to be faced with
a woman, in a red sports car,
screaming obscenities, waving
her hands in the air, implying that
she demanded I move my vehicle
forward so that she could make a
right turn.
On another note I have noticed
while driving to school as well
that trees along interstate 15 are
being cut down. While at the
same time landscaping is being
done at CSUSM. Why some
effort can't be made to relocate
these trees to CSUSM so that
students can enjoy them for years
to come. Even though it may not
be cost effective the beautification
of CSUSM is priceless!

CSU San Marcos, Haynes
preparing for transition
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Co-Editor
"Very busy, but very positive" — that
is how Dr. Karen S. Haynes' days have
been since she started her campaign f or the
CSUSM presidency.
From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach,
back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I
haven't had much time to think of all the next
steps," Haynes said.
She's been writing to-do lists for the sev-
eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started
anything yet.
Making the transition from Houston to San
Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy
a house or just rent? She said those are the
things on her mind lately.
Having to move is nothing new for her.

CSU focuses on alcohol safety
ByCHADSPINKS
Pride StaffWriter
As part of an ongoing effort by
administration and the CSU system to
promote alcohol awareness, the Clarke
Field House will be conducting a
Responsible Host training seminar Dec.
5 at noon, focusing on alcohol safety: an
issue of concern with the first year of on
campus housing.
A fter the drinking related death of Cal
State Chico student, Adrian Heideman,
in Oct. 2000, the CSU system sought
revisions in the alcohol policy of all
campuses. Shortly after, the Substance
Abuse Advisory Council was formed at
CSUSM.
Susan Mitchell, who was a member of
the Substance Abuse Advisory Council
when it formed, said that the CSU board
of trustees disseminated information

Lobby Corps continues tofightfor CSUSM students
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Co-Editor
Associate Students, Inc. (ASI)
sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses
in the California State University
(CSU) system gathered to discuss
issues like raising tuition fees and
shared governance in the CSU.
"It's a lot of hard work—it's not
a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice
president of external affairs for
ASI.
Roper and three other members
of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000
students in the CSU system.
With student fees raising over
30 percent this semester, the
Lobby Corps promised to fight for
lowering student fees.
The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not
raising fees," Roper said.
He said that the CSU broke their
promise to not raise fees over 10
percent in a year. Now the CSSA
must work with other groups like
the University of California (UC)
system.
He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee
increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger
will fund the school systems Janu-
ary 2004 so the race is on for the
Lobby Corps.
The Lobby Corps promotes
student welfare by influencing
law making in California, and
working with the CSU Board of
Trustees. The 25 members of
the Board of Trustees manage the
CSU system.
The Lobby Corps works to
hammer out kinks in the CSU
system.
The students find what's wrong
with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association
(CSSA) conferences, and then
lobby at state legislative meetings

The campus reaction
At CSUSM students, faculty and staff
have personal views reserved for the
oncoming president.
The university Provost, Robert Sheath
said he has two main expectations for the
president. One is that she needs to lead
the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects
her to continually improve the schools
standing in the community and improve
community relationships.
"Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well
positioned to do both of these," Sheath
said. "She showed all the attributes that
we would want in a president "
Sheath said he likes her philosophy to
seek to understand and then be understood.
"I hope all sectors of the campus can
get behind her and support her and move
us forward," Sheath added.
CFA President for CSUSM George
Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work
with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion."
Diehr said he doesn't want her to have
any preconceived notions about faculty
workloads at CSUSM.
"I hope she takes a hard look at the
objective data that shows faculty at San
Marcos have a heavier student load than
faculty at most of our sister campuses,"
he said. "She should also appreciate that
we spend about $7 million less on our
faculty salaries and benefits than other
CSU campuses of our size."
Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned
about her adherence to the Budget
Supplemental Report Language.
"Let's just see what happens," he said.
Honey Folk, ASI president, said the
environment at CSUSM is directly
related to the president.
She said the president should be open,
honest and willing and provide access to
education.
"It's time to bring about the reality of
the mission of the CSU," Folk said.
Folk explained that CSUSM has a
campus culture that values shared governance.
"We demand to be included into the
decision making process," she said. "I
am very, very excited about having the
opportunity during my term as president
to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence
which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students."

Assessing perception
of alcohol and drug
usage at CSUSM
Assessing the extent of the problem on
campus was one recommendation.
The council administered the Core
survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000
students, of which 585 responded. "The
results show that Cal State San Marcos is
below the national average for alcohol use,"
said Mitchell.
#
The four page survey; developed by the
Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range
of issues regarding alcohol and substance
abuse. Questions were asked concerning
how students perceive drug and alcohol use
among peers, and how students have been

�Tutoring and assistance on campus
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
Students have a wealth of resources at
their fingertips for academic assistance.
From the College Republicans to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, club members have an
outstanding network system that provides
for various forms of assistance and support. Students not affiliated with any clubs
or organizations also have a wealth of
resources around campus.
Doctor Robin Keehn is the head of the
"Writing Center" located in CRA 3106-1
in the library courtyard. The writing lab
provides services to approximately 200
students weekly. This is a facility for
everyone. Students of all stages of writing
from brainstorming to thesis constructing
and outlining argumentative paper are welcome at the Writing Center. The tutors are
all trained and must take and successfully
pass (LTWR 525) before they can work at
the center. This ensures quality service to
the students. There is approximately 36
personnel on staff. Although walk-ins are
welcome, staff members suggest making
an appointment. Their hours of operation
are Monday-Thursday 8:30am- 6:00 pm.
Friday 8:30am-3:00pm. For additional
information call, 760-750-4168 or visit is
www.csus.edu/writing-center.
The Math Center is located in the same
building as the writing center. Maureen
DuPont is the coordinator. 16 tutors service approximately 3,000 students per
semester. The Math Center provides academic support, tutoring, and assistance to
undergraduate students. It helps prepare
students for the California Basic Skills

Test, CBEST, and Entry Level Mathematics, ELM. The center also provides
services to instructors whereby they can
send their students over to take quizzes.
Instructors can also check out the training aid tools and equipment to use in their
classroom. It is best to make an appointment vs. walking in although you will
receive service either way. To contact the
Math Center call 760450-4122.
The computer lab is also resourceful and
used by students daily. Yale Kim supervises the staff that runs the lab. Their
hours of operations are Mon.-Thurs 6:
30am- 100:00pm, Fri 6:30 am- 6:00pm,
Sat 8:00am- 6:00pm and Sun 12:00am- 6pm. The staff will provide assistance with

Music at CSUSM
uniting art and technology
ByALEXROSAIJNO
Pride StaffWriter
"This is the technology
centerpiece of our music
discipline" said Professor
Bill Bradbury about the
electronic music lab, which
is also a state of the art
recording studio.
The
Visual

Performing
Arts
department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are
unfortunately sometimes
overlooked by students at
Cal State San Marcos.
The VPA building is
located between the Science
2 and the University Hall
buildings. Even though this
is a relatively new school
the facilities and equipment
are up to speed.
Something students may
not know is that there are
practice rooms where any
student may play the piano,
for free. If students want
to learn how to play the
piano, classes are available.
The VPA department offers
courses in just about any
art subject you can think of.
The disciplines are broken
down into the following:
arts and technology track,
music track, visual arts
track, theatre track and arts
and education track.
Within these tracks, they
are able to integrate cultural
arts and styles from around
the world.
The program is very
hands on and theoretical,
according to the VPA
website.
There is a Javanese
Gamelan
Ensemble,
which teaches students
in an organized manner,
how to play the different
instruments of Indonesia.
This class mentions when
music is played and for
what reasons, such as
dances and drama. This
class may be repeated four
times. Within the classroom

Sand whistling in the wind,
caravans of vehicles heading east

Whether it's to ride quads, bikes,

�Television warps our brains
By TIM JOHNSON
Pride StaffWriter
By NICOLE SULLIVAN
Pride StaffWriter
$300, this sucks. These were the exact words I
uttered in frustration after getting off the phone
with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked
out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender
and no note.
Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no
one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal
and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the
scene? I guess not because there was no note.
It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart.
We are instilled since we are little, if we make a
mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is
this any different?
Statistics show that only 10 percent of people
actually leave a note when they hit another car.
So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his
actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this
fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of
possessions, property, a family member, on behalf
of someone's ignorance?
No absolutely not! It is not fair.
I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults
are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing
we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our
mistakes.
Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can
say is what comes around goes around.
On that same note, another quote comes to mind,
do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.
* I am not saying that this person who hit my car
will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged
up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or
another if we do something that screws another
fellow man out of something, than there will be
consequences.
I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I
wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession.
I hope this article can instill appreciation in all
our lives for the things that we do have. As for me,
I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with
life.

You may not know it, but
our lives are being controlled
by a box.
It is a box that portrays
images and pictures of things
that consume our minds. This
box tells us what to buy, wear,
and how to act in certain
situations.
This box is television — it
provides us with entertainment
while it warps our brains.
I find that when I turn on
the television, I spend most
of the time flipping through
the channels. I rarely find
something that I watch from
beginning to end. That is
because it is hard to find
something worth watching.
Lstill, however, find myself
turning that TV on with the
remote in my hand.
When I find something

by commercials so I change

As we reach thefinalstretch for
this semester, the pressure begins
to build as term papers and final
exams loom on the horizon. Now
is the time where we try to pull
the whole semester together and
prove that we have learned from
the lectures and studying. After
we reach that frenzied peak, after
the last paper is written and the
last final completed, then we can
finally relax and reflect on the
O mbudsman's N otes
accomplishment of having completed another semester.
To those who are graduating
at the end of this semester, those
last papers and finals represent
something sweeter. If there are
no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look
upon these papers and finals as
the last vestiges of educational
scrutiny for now they have their
degree and are can move confi-
dently into the world.
If they plan to proceed with
their education, fall graduates
can face the spring semester as
the beginning of that journey.
With a shorter break between fail
and spring, it is an easier jump
into the post baccalaureate realm
for the fall graduate. Most of all,
it is just having the degree that
matters to all students and the
fall graduate enjoys that honor
with a bit of uniqueness.
I would like to end this column
with some words on feedback. I
have received feedback ranging
from constructive criticism to
juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a
request. If «The Pride" causes
some of you a great deal of pain
to read, then please suggest what
we can do to alleviate this pain.
It is not our intention to instill a
malaise upon the campus. Let me
know what we can do better. Our
goal is to cover stories that relate
to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task
or have not exploited all story
possibilities, I want to know
what we need to do to improve
this paper for next semester
and into the future. The email

C hallenging t he n o-alcohol a ds a t C SUSM
ByMDCEDOLAN
Pride Ombudsman
Alcohol is a substance that permeates
not only our culture in America, but also
the cultural fabric of the world. The purpose of this brief argument is to provide
another consideration to the posters and
mouse pads on campus that reflect the
results of the Core survey.
Used readily as both sustenance and
in celebration, alcohol came to America
with the first settlers in the seventeenth
century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A.
Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is
a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised
alcohol but denounced drunkenness."
With that in mind, it is curious to
consider the dichotomy that alcohol has
become, how it has gone from being
"praised" by ministers to the double edged
sword of being revered as a social tool and
at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse.
It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance
in our society that far exceeds any other
mind-altering substance.
Alcohol advertisements pervade the
pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways.
Compared to tobacco, which had similar
commercial appeal before its dangers
were discovered and exploited, alcohol has
emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants.
However, despite the commercial appeal
and the common usage of alcohol, there is
a darker element to alcohol.
Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to
society. But drunkenness is an inevitable
consequence of readily accessible alcohol.
What constraint does society impose on
the individual in order to avoid drunkenness?
Society would dictate that ultimately
the individual is accountable for his or
her actions including the responsibility
to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It
is here that alcohol's negativity becomes
cloudy because if it is the individual's
responsibility to regulate his or her own
alcohol consumption, then how is it that
there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control?
Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under
conscious control . .. distinguished from
an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is
involuntary."
Schaler is correct, human's think about
their voluntary movements. Therefore,
this is only one explanation for a drinkers'
behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary
action, which is their responsibility.
It is not alcohol that controls humans;
rather it is humans' irresponsibly using
alcohol that sparks this negativity with
results such as the Temperance Movement,
Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect
the results of the Core survey.
These results are accurate-numerically,
but imply a connotation that limited alco-
hol use by CSUSM students is favorable.
The results are presented in a manner of
influence which is similar to peer-pressure
in the sense that the majority numbers are
designed to instill self-doubt in those who
are in the minority.
Statistics are good for objective fact,
but at an institute of higher learning and
in this presentation, these statistics appear
simplistic.
Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use.
With a substantial influence interwoven
into the cultures of the world, alcohol use
involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple
survey.
It is, therefore, naive to assume that
the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol
consumption by college students can be
explained by the Core survey.
It would likewise be a stretch to assume
that college students would not challenge
the results.

"We're excited to be building a relationship with such a young school. We hope to
offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the
festivals in your video library." Lee Ann
Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian
Film Festival.
Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and
the Executive Director for the Sand Diego
Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed
with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she
is still working with KGTV but, "this is
really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative
staff at the SDAFF.
It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate
about what she does. The films shown at
this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision
Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16
minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze,"
had poignant messages, unique artistic
angles, and messages that linger in the
memory as you walk away from the show.
The documentary "Refugee" shown
Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes
long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is
an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has
been traveling around the United States to
different film festivals sharing this piece.

through different lenses.
The first, "Vision Test", was taken from
the results of a phone survey which asked
a variety of questions dealing with racial
preference including who you would feel
more comfortable with as president, for a
boss, a wife for your son.
"Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud

Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a
flash into another time, another person's

This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like
m yself' Chen said in an interview after the
production.
Working for three years with a variety of
programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and
white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon
delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze".
The films presented by the San Diego
Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards
set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing
these three films and documentary I know
it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the
standards of Hollywood after entertaining
the amusing, charming, and provocative
methods used by creators and directors
featured by the SDAFF.
Urban Bush WomenTeaching at CSUSM
By M ŒELLE WILLS
Prick StaffWriter
On Tuesday the 11th, the famous
Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman
from Queens New York, Reverend Nia
Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora
Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York
taught a dance class at CSUSM.
The previous day, on November 10th'
they had given a performance excerpt
from one of their famous works entitled
"Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to
personal, and social images of the way
that we interpret beauty, class, and our
own sense of self-worth.
After having seen the performance,
students seemed excited to be able to
learn a dance from the Urban Bush
Women themselves, and eagerly moved
out onto the dance floor. With energy
and style Reverend Eubanks lead the
class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire
helped to show students how to move.
Reverend Eubanks began the class by
allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students
a call and response method from Ghana,
Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students
would respond by shouting back "Ame"',
which means, "Yes I am!"
While warming up, students were
shown how to make a "chalice" of
energy over their heads, then were told
to release that energy by bringing their
hands slowly back down the sides of

their bodies. Eubanks had them bring
their hands up to the front of the room,
and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As
the warm-up became more complex, she
encouraged students by telling them that
they were doing a good job, and reminded
them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without
inhibitions, and at orie point called out

CSUSM Graduation
Location in Question
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
President Alexander Gonzalez gained permission to withdraw the contract to hold graduation at Palomar Community
College's football field if a new
location is found. The school is
working to sign a contract with
another venue for the graduation ceremonies of classes 2002
and 2003. The Commencement
Planning Committee hopes that
this venue will be more appealing to CSUSM graduates.
Last year it was noted that,
due to construction on campus,
the traditional location for graduation held in Founders Plaza
would be unavailable over the
next two years. With this knowledge, the committee began to
search for alternate locations,
both on and off campus, to hold
graduation.
Several locations were considered, including our Mangrum Track, the Escondido
Center for the Arts, Vista's
Moonlight Amphitheatre and
the Del Mar . Fairgrounds.
Finally, after a canceled decision to hold graduation at the
Del Mar Fair, CSUSM signed a
contract with Palomar Community College for the use of their
football field.
In late July, President Gonzalez sent Out a letter to all
students who had applied for
graduation this spring, naming
Palomar as the commencement
location. Many MBA candidates, undergraduates, and faculty responded by letter, expressing their distress over the
school's decision.

senior commented, "We'll , be

that's where we should walk.
I'm sure our families would like
to see and explore where their
money went!"
The result is that the committee has re-evaluated its decision.
Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice
President of Student Affairs,
said, "It is the student's special
day and we don't want to have
any graduates feel like it's ruined
because they are unhappy with

Explosion Damages Cars and FCB
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
The feeling of the ground
shaking on campus at 3:15 p.m. is
natural to Cal State San Marcos
students, faculty and staff. On
July 30, however, not only did
the ground shake, but bouldersized focks rained down on the
university.
Although no one was hurt, 80
cars were damaged, as well as the
Foundation Classroom Building
(FCB). Temporary classrooms
are set up to accommodate fall
semester classes that are scheduled to meet in FCB.
Damage to FCB also altered
the lesson plans Of some professors.
"My class was moved to
a temporary classroom, and
because the classroom is not
equipped we did not get to see
a video which was part of our
curriculum. In addition, the air
conditioning was not working
well," said junior Perla Rivas.
The temporary classrooms have
approximately 40 student desks,
a white board, and a desk. The
estimated cost to repair damages to the building is $20,000.
California Drilling and Blasting
and Hanson Aggregates have
agreed to cover all the costs.
"This was the worst blast we
have had in the last four years,"
said Chief Executive Officer
Bill McCardle. The university
has a contract with Hanson
Aggregates, which ensures that
each blast is performed correctly, safely, and in a sufficient
amount of time to clear the way
for the construction of future
buildings.

Smells of chalupas, mole,

at the 2001 Guelaguetza Festival

Sunday.
The day began with opening
words from guests including President Alexander Gonzalez. Welcoming the crowd in Spanish,
Gonzalez told the audience how
he was proud that the festival was

Roberto Gonzalez-Ruiz, a

�CSU A lcohol P olicy Revised
Under N ew Guidelines
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM does not have many
alcohol-related issues since there
are no restaurants, bars, or stores
on campus that sell alcohol*,
and there are no dormitories.
As the university grows and
evolves, however, "alcohol consumption issues will arise," said
Susan Mitchell, senior director
of Health, Counseling, and
Disability Services.
In November, California
State University Chancellor
Charles Reed appointed a committee to review university policies concerning alcohol. The
Alcohol Policies and Prevention
Committee was created after
Adrian Heideman, a Chico State
University freshman, died from
alcohol poisoning last October.
There were also two separate
incidents of hospitalization from
fraternity binge drinking at
SDSU that prompted the systemwide concern.
The committee worked for
several months and focused on
creating broad, realistic policies
that could be implemented on
the system's 23 individual campuses.
The final report by the committee stated that it is manda-
tory for each campus to set up
an advisory committee. It will
be the duty of this committee to
develop a strategic plan to deal
with the current and future alcohol-related issues at Cal State
San Marcos.
The panel designed a set of
system-wide recommendations
to be catered to the individual
needs of each campus. The recommendations include: the need
for strong presidential leadership, a review of existing policies, the creation of a campus
advisory council, the development of goals with an assessment
component, and the enforcement
of local and state laws.
Mitchell said the implementation of the new policies would
proceed smoothly at CSUSM.
She explained that before last
year's problems, CSUSM was
already working in collaboration
with the National Department
of Education, San Diego County
Health and Human Resources,
the Community Collegiate
Alcohol Prevention Program, and
local law enforcement to create a
network of communication that
emphasizes responsible drinking
and helps students develop the
ability to make well-informed
choices.
On Saturday, the San Marcos
Chamber of Commerce hosted
the Grand Summer Fest. The
street-style fair encompassed
various adult and children's
activities, including a beer garden.
When asked about alcohol
sales at this weekend's event,
University Spokesperson Rick
Moore explained that, technically, the San Marcos campus does
not have a ban on alcohol sales,
and that CSUSM was only a
site for the Summer Fest. Moore
also said that alcohol sales on
campus must have the complete,
expressed permission from the
university president.
The report from the committee on alcohol policies and
prevention stated that "prohibition of alcohol is not a realistic
response to the problem," and
that a function focusing primarily on alcohol would be contrary to the university's principles of promoting and encouraging "health and wellness in
an environment supportive of
learning" Mitchell agrees that
banning alcohol is not a practical solutiTTn. She said that she
understands that alcohol will be
served at certain events, but in
an educational setting it does
not make sense to have an event
focused primarily on drinking.

San Marcos Summer Fest Held at CSUSM
» Article cont. from pg. 1
The event was last hosted
on Grand Avenue, between Mission and San Marcos Boulevard. However* since the lot is
now on sale, President Alexander Gonzalez offered Cal State
San Marcos as the place for the
event to be held.
Approximately 300 vendors
occupied the area starting from
the flagpole down to Cesar
Chavez. There was music, dancers, food, beer, and games for
kids. The event attracted all
ages as kids and adults walked
throughout the booths spinning
wheels and winning prices, feeding and petting the sheep and
goats.
"We conducted many tours,
especially in the afternoon," said
Heckman. Most visitors had
never been to the campus and it
was a nice event to go to. "It
is a great place to be, there are
a lot of booths, and it has been
a good walk," said San Marcos
resident Ruben Moreno.

the overflow of cars in the student lots during the add/drop
period, but that "once the add/
drop period is over, there should
be enough parking to accommodate students." Stack parking
is available in Lot C.
Parking Services also sold
parking permits online for the
first time this year, a move that
Williams said was very successful. "We sold about 1,150 permits online. Next semester we
hope to sell a lot more. While it
involves a bit of extra work, we
want to get people serviced."
Permits purchased online
were mailed to students' residences at no additional cost,
which helped alleviate the longer
lines at Parking Services and the
Cashier's Office typical at the
start of the semester.
While there are no immediate plans to raise the price of permits, Williams said Parking Services would put in a bid for a fee
increase, in addition to hiring a
consultant to help maximize the
use and availability of the lots.
Students and faculty may
still purchase permits at both
the Cashier's Office and Parking
Services. Vehicle, permits are
$62 and motorcycle permits are
$30. An annual permit, which
runs from Aug. 17, 2001 to Aug..
17, 2002, is available for $168.

The possible graduation venues include Palomar College or the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Take Another Bite of American Pie
By MELANIE ADDINGTON
Pride Editor
Sequels usually flop after
the great success of the first
movie. Yet "American Pie 2 "
succeeds in being funnier than
the first.
The original cast reunites in
this sexually crude but well-written movie. And the more everyone has changed, the more they
have all remained the same.
Sexually hindered Jim,
played by Jason Biggs, still
desires the voluptuous Nadia
(Shannon Elizabeth).
Oz (Chris Klein) andHeather
(Mena Suvari) are still happily
together, with Oz remaining his
sensitive self. Kevin (Thomas
Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid)
are still broken up.
Sean W. Scott, who plays
Stifler, is still the crudest, testosterone driven male in the bunch,
and Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye
Thomas) is strangely fascinating
and still mad for Stifler's mom.
In the 1999 hit, "American
Pie," the same group attempted
to lose their virginity in their last
few weeks of high school. "AP2"
reintroduces everyone on the last
day of college finals, with more
sexual antics. The funny sidekick
characters of "American Pie-" all
have well-deserved lead roles in
this version, making the sequel
even better than the original.
Jim discovers that he is terrible in bed and fears Nadia's
return visit. He seeks aid from
the hilarious band 'camp geek,
Michelle, the woman who devirginized him and left- him on
prom night.
Alyson Hannigan's performance as Michelle really gives
the movie a heart. Her comedic
timing blends perfectly with her
ability to make the audience feel
her emotional upheaval toward
the end of the film. Hannigan
always plays the sidekick role,
such as in the " Buffy the Vampire
Slayer" television series. But after
this performance, she deserves a
starring role.
Biggs, once again, plays the
adorable, geeky, neurotic Jim.
Although he couldn't possibly
top the pie scene from the first
film, he dares to get close with a
bizarre and outrageously funny
scene involving porn and superglue.
There are a few problems
with the casting in "AP2,"
though. It is great that they
ensemble the original cast, but
many of the characters have no
reason for being there. For example, Jessica, played by the incredible Natasha Lyonne, has few
lines and usually just stands in
the background. Truly a waste
of such great talent. My first
impression of Lyonne was from
the 1998 sleeper hit, "Slums
of Beverly Hills." Her breakout
role as Vivian promised a b rik
liant career, but her talent seems
squandered on movies like
"Detroit Rock City" (1999) and
"AP2."
The movie is just funny.

Into the Woods
By Lisa Lipsey
Pride Opinion Editor
Imagine having a witch for
a neighbor. "Not too difficult,"
you may say, "I've lived nextdoor to a few." But what if the
witch Was real and she put a
curse on your house? To get
the curse reversed, you need,
" . one, the cow as white as milk,
two, the slipper as pure as gold,
three, the hair as yellow as corn,
four, the cape as red as blood."
So
begins
Steven
Soundheim's fractured fairy tale,
"Into the Woods." Sounds appropriate for kids, right? Wrong. It is
kid appropriate, but the script to
"Into the Woods" is full of adult
humor, word play, sarcasm, wit
and intellect. Some lines cracked
up the kids in the audience, while
other lines left the adults rolling
in the aisles.
Act one tells the story of the
cursed Baker and his Wife, along
with the classic Grimm fairy tales
of "Jack in the Beanstalk" (with
his white cow), "Cinderella"
(with her golden slippers), "Little
Red Ridinghood" (with her cape),
and "Rapunzel" (with hair as
< yellow as corn). But these familiar and enchanting stories end at
intermission. Soundheim's musical comedy takes a slight dramatic turn in act two when he reveals
what happens after ".. .they lived
happily ever after."
Please don't ask me which
actor stands out the most, because
after a few stressful days of college? If you are looking for a
deep meaningful art film, you
won't find it in "AP2," but if
what you seek is just a good time
and a lot of laughs, "American
Pie 2 " is the best film for you
this summer.
"AP2" is playing now in theatres and is rated R for strong
sexual content, crude humor, language and drinking.
"Woods" was written for an
ensemble cast. Vista's Moonlight
Amphitheatre Company includes
a dynamic cast from the Equity
Actors and other local talent.
As talented as the cast may
be, it is the cleverness of
Soundheim's lyrics in combination with a great musical score
that stands out.
If you liked the movie
"Shrek" for its clever fairy tale
humor, you'll love "Into the
Woods." Much like an Andrew
Lloyd Webber play, Soundheim's
music and lyrics are complex
and creative. The good news is
that "Woods" doesn't keep to
the classic musical love story
tradition, like "Oklahoma" or
"Carousel." In fact, the twists

in act two give the fftay a very
unconventional and surprising
conclusion that is well worth
your time.
If you've never been there,
Moonlight is an affordable, high

had to rely on my instincts, which
were telling me: "Go to Chiapas,

All the excitement kept me
awake and alert. Suddenly I spotted
a roadblock and armed men down
the road. No, I was not dreaming.
I slowed the car and the armed,
unmasked men asked me to stop.
They were Mexican soldiers asking
us for our passports. Looking at the
passport and then looking me in
the face, a soldier asked me where
we were going.
"To Palenque," I replied. He
asked me what was the purpose
of our trip. At first I was going
to tell him about Stephens and
Catherwood but realized he had
probably never heard about those
two men. Instead I simply answered,
"tourist," and that was enough to
get a smile on his face, return the
passports, and say "pasale "
The road to Palenque was
open.
A windy road took us to a
higher elevation and the terrain
turned into a rain forest. Around
us the sounds became more intense
and we wondered whether they
were made by birds or by monkeys.
We were approaching the city
with our eyes wide open. And then
at once, through the thick vegetation, the magnificent view of a
giant pyramid appeared. We were
in Palenque!

*Editorial Note: Joseph
Sanchez is The.Pride's, sports columnist and discusses life from a
surfer's (and his own)
perspective.
I've been homeless for the
last two months, just healed
from a separated shoulder, and
am starting yet another semester in a literature program that
has very little literature in, it.
This semester, there are still
more questions than answers.
But at least one answer
remains constant: the ocean
and its waves. I surf.
It's difficult to describe
the feelings of transcendence
and peace that can be experienced while riding a wave.
Surfing legend Tom Curren
once described it as being born
again; it makes life fresh and
new. I think that while riding
waves surfers combine their
own finite existence with the
oceans' eternal life. The act
of riding a wave is an act of
balance that goes beyond the
athletic balance involved in the
ride.
I've joked that in our own
naive way we are answering
that age old philosophical question the Greeks posed long
ago: Is life a state of being or
becoming? As we ride each
wave we experience a sensation of timelessness, Being.
But a wave never stops moving and each ride is constantly
Becoming.
No, I'm not proposing a
new religion, and hope that this
doesn't come off as another
shabby version of "pop" mysticism. Pop culture continues to
invade surfing, and corporations, realizing the monetary
value of surfing, have managed
to infuse it with the usual dose
of mediocrity and crass commercialism.
And while, like many other
surfers, I grimace at the droves
of enthusiastic professionals
and soccer moms swarming
into the surf, I grudgingly hope
that they too can capture their
own piece of the surfing experience.
I know that speaking so
passionately of surfing in a
public forum is ironic for someone who dislikes the intrusion
of so many into his sanctuary.
It would be best to say nothing, right? Then at least I'm
not contributing to the already
over-crowded conditions. r
But isn't that part of the
human predicament?
' So here I am, hoping that
this foray "Into My Own" .will
help you remember to find your
"Own." In the Robert Frost
poem that I took the title of
this article from, Frost wishes
that "those dark trees/ were,
not as '"twixt the merest mask
of gloom/ but stretched away
unto the edge of doom." His
retreat was into his beloved
New England forests, mine is
•on the perfect swell of the
ocean's bosom. What's yours?

We'd like to welcome back
the returning students and welcome all new students to Cal
State San Marcos. Hopefully you
all had a restful and enjoyable
vacation, or at least survived
your summer classes.
This past summer the campus
was filled with exciting events
such as the infamous explosions, the San Marcos Festival,
the Guelaguetza Festival, and
the beginning of Year Round
Operations.
The Pride planned to cover
these events; however due to
monetary restraints by the university, we were unable to print
any summer issues.
However, we reached out to
many of you by e-mail to find
out what areas of The Pride you
felt needed improvement, what
you liked or did not like, and
for any general suggestions. The
Pride is a student newspaper,
and in order to create this publication for all of you students, we
need to know what you want in a
newspaper. For those of you that
HAVE AN OPINION?
responded or who will respond,
we thank you for your valuable
input.
Several students felt we were
too liberal, while others felt we
were too conservative. The Pride
is neither. We keep a decidely
balanced political viewpoint and
have a generous combination
of staff writers, providing both
liberal and conservative viewpoints.
Some students mentioned
their concern with the presence
of a few biased articles in the
newspaper. Mandy Ford wrote:
"Instead of doing articles that
give points of view from more
than one party, you select the
juicy side and run with it." She
adds, " I hope that the paper will
start printing more detailed and
factual stories in the future."
Another student, however,
wrote that The Pride was interesting and factual.
Some students were fond
of the "Psyche Fairy," and the
"Thoughts On" quotes. Many,
however, felt that we should
write on more controversial topics, write more sports articles,
and that we should include editorials.
Students also wrote that they
were appreciative of the outfeach
of The Pride, and that we kept
students up-to-date on campus
events. Some students felt there
was too much focus on minority
groups in certain articles, while
other students appreciated the
"diversity."
Since we are students we are
still in the process of learning
journalistic style, but it is the
purpose of The Pride to represent student voice, keep integrity of the truth, and to be unbiased and critical. We appreciate
the comments given to us, and
we have reviewed our mission
statement and attempted to make
some changes.
A few students said they
were unable or found it difficult
to contact the editors and writers. The Pride office is located
in Commons 2-201, around the
corner from the Student Lounge.
We have tried to set our office
hours so that a staff member is
present during the entire day.
If you prefer to contact us by
e-mail, please send your message
to pride @csusm.edu or phone
us at (760) 750-6099. We will
respond.
Below is The Pride*s mission
statement:
SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TO
The Pride is dedicated to the
education and enlightenment of
students and the campus community.
Our particular purpose as a
student newspaper is to inform
the students of news and events
from an objective and t ruthful
point of view, representing every
available aspect of an issue or
story. The P rate i s, in its news
pages, committed to providing
unbiased information based on
available sources and resources.
In its opinion pages the Pride
strives to create a forum for
debate for all students. As we
challenge the institution administration, faculty and student population-to think carefully about
controversial issues, we are dedicated to representing diverse student voices.
The Pride commits itself to
autonomy, uninhibited by undue
influence from institutional entities.
The Pride, as a 21st-century
medium of mass communications, commits itself to technological awareness, advancement
and integration.
Sincerely,
Melanie Addington

A Welcome from Your Student Government: ASI President, Dean Manship
On behalf of Associated Students and representing the entire student body, I would like
to welcome all new and returning students to
California State University San Marcos. This is
truly an exciting time in the development of our
campus, which over the next two years will more
than double in size.
Newer students will witness the opening of
our first student housing facility, which will begin
our transition from a commuter campus to one
teeming with student life.
In the meantime, the Associated Students will
continue to focus on bringing quality events
and enrichment programs to campus, as well as

CSUSM's possible solution to limited parking and overcrowded classrooms?
Letter to the Editors
A new group is forming for students in the
MBA program. The group will be called the
MBA Student Association and it will have many
responsibilities. One of the responsibilities will be
to serve as a liaison between MBA students and
MBA front office. Any issues or concerns that
MBA students may have will be communicated
to the MBA front office.
The group will also promote the MBA program at Cal State San Marcos at both the local
level as well as at the national level. Already the
MBA Student Association has had speakers come
on campus and speak to cohorts on campus. This
sort of interaction will prove value to both the
community and the school.
The MBA Student Association will also have
a bi-monthly newsletter directed toward MBA
students, faculty, and the business community.
The first issue will come out the last week
in August just in time for the incoming MBA
students for this year.
Going to school to receive an MBA is difficult
enough as it is; the new group will hopefully ease
some of the concerns that new students may have.
Together we will make a difference.

T hrow Your Gap if
You Want to Graduate
from Palomar!
By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
This y earV graduation may
seem aways off, but a two-year
plan is already well underway for
CSUSM commencement ceremonies. Over the summer a decision was reached: the
next two graduating classes will
have their ceremony off-campus
at one of two
possible venues,
Palomar Community College
or the Del Mar
F airgrounds.
We currently have a c ontract'
signed with Palomar.
There are already several
problems with this decision.
Number one: we the students, who pay to be here, were
not asked to vote upon this issue.
D o they undertand that we are
educated adults who have the
ability to objectively look at the
facts, make decisions and vote?
The real reason seems to be that
they know none of us would have
voted to hold our graduation
at Palomar. Much of the upper
division student body already
went through Palomar or anoth-
er junior college, graduated,
and transferred over to CSUSM
(myself included).
I am outraged that I will
have earned and paid for a higher level of education only to
possibly go back to my previous
school for graduation.
Hmm, did they check?
Maybe it would be even cheaper to hold graduation at San
Marcos
High
School.
Number two:
if the problem is
space, couldn't they
have come up with a
better location? Oh,
and here is a brilliant idea: hold graduation at CSUSM. We have
about as much outdoor and auditorium space as Palomar does.
Most students would rather see
CSUSM hold several small ceremonies on campus than one or
two off campous.
Perhaps we should remind
the powers that be this is OUR
graduation. It is about our
achievements as students. We
work hard in order to walk
across that stage. We should
have the chance to vote on the
location of OUR graduation.

Athlete spotlight: Terrence Buchanan
Pitcher w ith a passion
B Y KATLIN SWEENEY
FEATURES EDITOR
Senior pitcher Terrence
Buchanan combines two crucial elements when he plays
baseball: heart and dedication. The talented baseball
player is looking forward
to continuing his career at
GSUSM this year and seeing
his team have a successful
season.
Question: When did you
start playing baseball?
Answer: I began playing
tee ball when I was 5 years
old.
Q: Do you currently or
have you played any other
sports?
A: No baseball is the only
sport I play, it's the only sport
I 'm so passionate about.
Q: How has your experience been on CSUSM's
team?
A: It's been fantastic for
only being part of the squad
for a semester so far. We
have a great coaching staff
and a talented group on the
field.
Q: In what ways do you
think you have improved?
A: Coach Clements has
brought a whole new approach to my attention with
fine focus and details that
I probably wouldn't have
even thought about before.
He teaches in a way [that]
allows you to simplify the
game.
Q: What are some of your
goals for this season?
A: I 'm actually undergoing
season ending surgery on my
throwing shoulder. But I still
plan on supporting my team
from the dugout and passing
on all my knowledge to the
younger guys who I will be
playing on thefieldwith next
year.
Q: What is your favorite
thing about baseball?
A: It's a thinking man's
game; it's the only sport that
the defense has control of the
tempo. Plus the length of a
normal baseball season give
you plenty of opportunities
to redeem yourself since a
successful baseball player
only gets 3 hits out of every
10 at bats.
Q: Who has motivated
you the most in your career?
A: My head coach from
high school. He was the first
person to plant the idea in
my head that I can play at a
collegiate and professional
level. That year the Kansas
City Royals in the Major
League Draft took me in the

48th round in 2008.1 chose
to go to school and get an education with a little guidance
from Coach Giaime.
Q: Do you see baseball
as part of your future after
college?
A: I definitely do see basébail in my future. I still talk
with Major League scouts
along with having some ties
with scouts in Japanese Professional Baseball as well.
If neither of these routes
work out in my favor I plan
on coaching high school
baseball at Del Norte High
School in San Diego.
Q: What is the best adr
vice you have ever received
from a coach/parent/etc?
A: Coach Giaime said
something to me when [I
was a] junior in high school
as I sat at his dinner table in
his home. "Do the right thing
when no one's watching, [it's
the] mark of good character."

Scorching men's basketball winning streak reaches double digits
B y A LEX FRANCO
S PORTS E DITOR
The past two weeks of
men's basketball has been
more of the same of what we
have corile to expect from
Coach Jim Saia and the Cougars.
The team began a three
game stretch on Jan. 23 in
a road game against Point
Loma Nazarene, which the
cougars won 81-64, shooting an astounding 50 percent
from the field and hitting 7
three pointers to outpace the
Sea Lions of PLNU.
Point guard Danny Redmon led all CSUSM scorers
with 16 points and 3 assists.
Joining Redmon in the double-digit department were
forward Jacob Ranger and
guard A J . Gaspora scoring
15 and 13 points, respectively.
Two days later on Jan. 25,
the Cougars hosted UC Santa Cruz in front of a capacity and loud crowd at Mira
Costa College. The Banana
Slugs kept the game close
for the first half as they only
trailed the Cougars by 8 at
halftime,
CSUSM would allow
UCSC to stay in the game
long when they opened the
second half with a run that
led to a 31 point lead midway
through the second half and
never looked back cruising
to victory in a blowout and
winning the game, 99-56 for
their tenth straight victory.
Quincy Lawson was the
standout performer in the
match with 12 points and 12
rebounds, recording the first
double-double of the season
for any CSUSM player. The
game also featured every
player on the roster registering a score for the second game in a row and five
CSUSM players scoring in
double digits. Danny Redmon once again led the team
with 19 points followed by
Jose Rivera with 15 points.
The 43-point margin of victory and 99 points scored
overall were both school program records at the time, until the Cougars played their
next game.
The final game of January
proved to be a special one
indeed as the Cougars' had
a record night for the second straight game trouncing
the visiting La Sierra 11171 in front of another large
home crowd. The 111 points
scored, obliterates the previous school record for total
points scored which was set
the previous game against
UCSC. The 40-point margin
of victory fell short of the
school record of 43, also set
in the previous game.
The Cougars came out
swinging right from the get
go, jumping out on a 12-4
run within minutes of the
opening tip-off forcing an
early timeout called by La
Sierra. CSUSM was up as
many as 24 in the first half
leading to a 60-38 first half
lead at the break. The second
half saw much of the same
as the cougars kept the pedal
to metal and piled the points
on, leading by as many as 44
towards the waning minutes
of the game .
The men's basketball team
continued its phenomenal
shooting performances over
the past few games with another great night of shooting,
making 52 percent of their
shots taken frorfi the field.
Quncy Lawson scored 18
points to lead all scorers in
the contest on 9-13 shooting,
with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks
and 2 steals. A J . Gaspora
continued his hot shooting
with another double-digit
performance, scoring 17
points on. 7-11 shooting and
3-6 from 3-point range.
•The games high point was
Adam Alfaro's stretch in
the second half, where he
wouldn't be denied and sunk
4 three point shots in a row
on his way to a season high
15 points. Danny Redmon
contributed great point guard
play, dishing out 9 assists to
his teammates, marking it
yet another game where all
players scored a. point and
six players scored in the double digits.
The win was the Cougars
eleventh in a row and 14 of
their last 15 games.
The Cougars take to the
road for their nextfivegames
and won't return home until
the final game of the season
on Saturday Feb. 23 when
they take on Bethesda at

If you could help 50 people, would you?
According to the National
Institutes of Health, experts
say that organs from one
person can save or help up
to 50 people. Sadly, there is
still overwhelming need for
donors.
Currently, over 118,000
people are waiting for an organ. Of those 118,000 people, 18 will die each day. Astonishingly, one organ donor
can save up to eight lives.
The first successful organ transplant was a kidney
transplant performed in 1954
between two identical twins.
According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, there have
been about 559,000 organ
transplantations to date.
Considering the overwhelming need, this is not enough;
Furthermore, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2.5 million people die per year in the
U.S. alone. Imagine if just 10
percent of these people were
organ donors.
Don't let the myths surrounding organ donation
hinder you from becoming a
donor:
-Because you are an organ
donor does not mean hospital
staff will not work as hard to
save your life.
-Organ and tissue donation
does not affect your appearance for a funeral.
-You are never too old to
donate.
-You might think your
health stinks; however,
chances are pretty slim that
your organs would be rejected.
To be an organ donor is
easy. Simply fill a form on
the DMV website and you're
finished. Can you really
think of a justifiable reason
not to donate?
Take 5 minutes of your
time and sign up to save a
life.

One in three women on
the planet will be raped or

billion women violated is an
atrocity. One billion women
dancing is a revolution.
With this intriguing premise provided on the CSUSM
website by the Gender Equity Center, One Billion Rising
is an event that leaps off the
page.
This worldwide movement seeks to end violence
and gender discrimination
through raising awareness. If
you are a student that is looking for something a bit more
meaningful to take part in
on Valentine's Day, you are
in luck, because the movement is coming to CSUSM.
The One Billion Rising event
will be held from 11 a.m.to 1
p.m. on Valentine's Day, Feb.
14. in front of the library.
"Most women suffer abuse
or death at the hands of
someone who claims th&t
they love them. That's why
Eve Ensler, the creator of
the world-famous Vagina
Monologues, came up with
the idea of the event on
Valentine's Day, which is
a day when everyone typically thinks of things like
romance and love," Gender
Equity Center Director Lea
Burgess-Carland said.
One Billion Rising brings
together hundreds of millions of women from all over
the globe so that they can
take a day to march, dance
and stand for an end to violence towards women. It is
an enormous program that
does not occur in just one
location, and there are centers all over the world where
celebrations are being held,
including in San Diego.
"It's important to bring this
event to CSUSM because

A & E EDITOR
For many of us, our first
campus experience was orientation, when we first figured out the struggles and
frustrations of signing up for
classes.
Although we quickly came
to reality with some college
procedures, it was a new beginning that paved our way
to where we are now. In the
Fall 2012 semester, Rachel
Quam and Joseph Sandoval
were honored with the positions of Orientation Team
Directors for the 2013-2014
school year. They discuss
with the Cougar Chronicle
their game plan for the new
yedr, as well as the benefits
of Student Life and Leadership (SLL).
Question: What campus
organizations are you involved in?
Joseph Sandoval: I am involved in Orientation team
and Sigma Alpha Epsilori. I
am also a SSS and OTRES
student.
Rachel Quam: I am currently involved with Orientation Team. I also live on campus at the University Village
Apartments and work at The
Clarke as a student assistant.
Q: How has the SLL office inspired you on campus?
JS: I see it as a safe space

different attributes or factors

getting connected with the
people in the SLL office and
the individuals associated
with O-Team. This office has
propelled me into the world
of student leadership and I
know that it can only go up

Restaurant for your buck
Beat:
Money Pit, the best bang
B Y A LEX F RANCO
SPORTS EDITOR •
On the corner of Mission
Avenue in San Marcos lies
a building that most people
would likely pass by and not
notice.
This green and white painted building, which at first
appears to be a bank, is none
other than San Marcos' very
own Money Pit restaurant.
The Money Pit is a traditional American fast food
restaurant. It serves classic staples; among them are
cheeseburgers, which can be
stacked high with four patties and four slices of American cheese. The menu also
offers a plethora of other
American classic restaurant
favorites such as sandwiches
with anything you can dream
of inside, salads loaded to
the brim, chicken strips,
hot dogs, corn dogs, handscooped milk shakes and
everything in between.
"We come here because it's
amazing food at an unbeatable price. I would say it's
right up there with In-N-Out
Burger as far as taste goes,"
two customers, who frequently visit the restaurant
regularly, said.
Money Pit really takes its
name to heart when it comes
to restaurant decor. They
have literally decorated every inch of the dining room
with anything and everything money or financially
related, from the floors covered with coins to the walls
full of movie posters related
to money and old American
antiques.

food gets you in the door, but
it is the service at The Money Pit that keeps you coming
back again and again.
Once you order your food
and get your drink, sit down
and let the staff at Money Pit
bring your order to you, tableside, something not often
seen at most fast food restaurants.
There are plenty of reasons
that Money Pit is a must-go
place to eat, but it's up to you
to go in and see for yourself
why this is the only Money
Pit around, and for good reason.
Money Pit is open everyday from 6:30 a.m. to 11
p jn. and is located at 1360

it, so it might be nice to think
just a smidge out of the box
to save yourself the problem
of booked-solid restaurants
and events.
Don't throw things up in
the air. If you're intending
to do something for Valentine's Day, at least make
some sort of plan for the
day. Don't wing it just because spontaneity is romantic. There is a possibility that
things just won't work out,
and it woyldn't look like the
thought that should count
was put into the day.
We also cannot stress it
enough to not use this day as
a cover for ulterior motives.
Regardless of the level of
intelligence of your somewhat-significant other, no
one enjoys being played for
benefit of another's fiilfilled
desires. Keep both parties involved in mind, and always
make certain that everything
is done out of true and honest
feelings, not just obligation.
That all in mind, we wish
you a wonderful Valentine's
Day! And for all you single
people, don't worry! At least
you're not draining both
your wallet and wit to stress
yourself over the wants of

CSUSM has just been
ranked the safest California
university again, but some
possible contributing factors to explain that could
be the fact that we have an
alcohol-free campus. Alcohol on campus could either
drastically change our campus* safety and reputation or
be an added benefit to " fun
times'' on campus and draw
more students. The Cougar
Chronicle's editors weigh in
on whether or not they think
CSUSM should allow alcohol on campus.

Katlin Sweeney
In light o f the fact that
CSUSM was just ranked
(again) the safest California
university, it would not be a
wise idea to allow alcohol on
campus. As it is, I am sure a
good part of the reason why
we are the safest California university is because we
have no alcohol anywhere
around. I know that the crime
rate would probably go up if
alcohol were to be allowed,
andjthe number of DUI's on
campus and the surrounding
areas would most definitely
go up. Alcohol on campus
is a bad idea and I hope they
don't allow it.
-Opinion Editor
Jessie Gambrell
I think CSUSM should be
a wet campus. After all we
are college students and this
is our time to experiment.
We have the University Police Department to protect
us. Just because a school is
considered a "wet campus"
doesn't mean that studentswon't be getting carded. We
are all here to get degrees
and work hard for our future
but drinking with friends has
always been a college past
time that the school should
embrace. I don't encourage
drinking for everyone but
for those that do, I 'm sure it
would be favored.

Surprisingly, it is that time
of year. It has subtly taken us
all by storm, and a great deal
of us are at a loss for how to
feel about this lovey-dovey
celebration.
But what should we feel?
How many of us actually
remember the history of Valentine's Day? To be quite
honest, I know very little other than speculation and what
I 've been told. Nonetheless,
each and every description
I 've heard involves "love" to
a degree, and is often more
keen on romantic love.
Doing a broad online
search, I 've discovered tidbits of information. There
are many claims that the day
is a celebration of Saint Valentine, patron saint of love,
young people and happy
marriages whose feast day is
on Feb. 14. Some say that it
involves a pre-Roman fertility festival that encompassed
three days, taking place for
the purging of evil spirits
and deeds through sacrifice
and blessings. Others involve theories of its fabrication into the capital world to
ensure economic strength in
an otherwise "dry spell" of
holidays.
What really gets me is the
general agitation and apathy that is felt towards Val-
entine's Day in the modern
day-and-age. People regard
it with disdain when they
are without one to call their
own, or with anxiety when
romantically involved with
another. There is stress all
around, brought on by the
almost unreal expectations.
Let's be honest. For those
of you who have a significant other, you may say that
this day is not all that important, but this day has some
amount of observance simply in the essence it gives
o ff. It's the so-called day of
love, so of course some people expect at least some opportunistic displays of love
on this day. And J can imagine there is a good amount of
disappointment when or if it
doesn't happen.
As for all the happily single
people, and those who profess this day to be "Singles
Awareness Day," I think the
resentment has something to
do with it, I mean, come on.
Whose day wouldn't
be considerably brightened
some sudden
and unprovoked proclamation of
love on a momentous day?
I can honestly say
my world would
tilt on its axis if that
happened to me.
I stand in my belief that
this is simply a slightly more
special day because of the
heavy - emotional overtones
everywhere. I can't ignore
it; it's quite impossible. I
can imagine that many times
throughout the day, I 'll be
greeted by unrealisticallyshaped cardio organs, sickening shades of pink and red
and people being, as I said,
lovey-dovey all over the
place. Ah, h ow.. .lovely.
That being said, Valentine's Day is a day in recognition by many people
across the country and, furthermore, around the world.
I can't deny its existence,
and have little reason to be at
odds against it for anything
other than my own personal
reasons. But I 've yet to decide whether I want to bahhumbug it out or play Cupid
for a day. Decisions, decisions.
Cougar asks: what are y our
plans for Valentine's Day?

Next week, students will
be able to enjoy a lecture by
noted humanitarian Father
Boyle as he educates the
public on the importance of
compassion.
"Tattoos on the Heart" is
on Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. at the
CSUSM Pavillion in Lot N
off of Campus View Dr. One
of the first events of the Arts
& Lectures series scheduled
for this spring, "Tattoos on
the Heart" is the product
of the hard work of Father
Gregory Boyle.
The lecture follows his
journey to prevent the increase of youth either in risk
of becoming or currently involved in gangs in East Los
Angeles' barrio communities: He has dedicated 25
years of his life tofindingout
what triggers an adolescents'
desire to join a gang, and
to finding ways to motivate
youth to see other avenues of
life for themselves.
Having spoken to and
worked with many of those
heavily affected by gang
violence, Father Boyle provides valuable insight int<*
the world beyond what many
people see. Since starting out
in 1988,
his efforts to spark change
evolved into the creation of
Homeboy Industries. Its existence has made a tremendous impact in the community, further contributing*to the
decrease of youth involved
in gangs.
Besides his intervention
programs, Boyle's impressive success has spanned
numerous categories. His
novel, "Tattoos on the Heart:
The Boundless Power of
Compassion," which contributes to the lecture's title,
is a New York Times bestseller. In addition to this,
he has been recognized for
his work with at-risk youth,
which earned him a spot in
the California Hall of Fame.

Love is in the air, Or for
some, maybe it's not this
Valentine's Day.
Whether in a relationship
or not, Shannon Fox and
Celeste Liversidge's book,
"Last One Down the Aisle
Wins" is a great guidebook
f or anyone navigating their
20s. Though the authors
write to a female audience,
the advice given in the book
is really applicable to both
genders.
After the authors point 6ut
some statistics that state the
chances of staying married
double if you get married
after the age of 25, and they
review their top 10 reasons
why people get married too
young, they go on to cover
10 keys for having an awesome journey through: your
20s. Topics throughout the
book include: friendships,
family life, career path, finances, emotional management, body image, independence, spirituality, sex and
adventure.
Each chapter has quizzes
so the reader can get a feel
for where they stand on the
topic. It also gives real-world
accounts of others who have
made mistakes and offers ad-
vice for how the reader can
figure out what track they
want to get on and how to
make it happen for themselves. The authors also include their personal insights
from time to time.
Shannon Fox is a marriage counselor and Celeste
Liversidge is a lawyer who
practices family law. Both
women have seen their fair

is what inspired them to

With Valentine's Day approaching, independent publishers Image and Shadowline has a comic mini-series
that is "a love story to die
for." Writer Kurds J . Webe
and artist Aluisio C. Santos
po-created "Grim Leaper,"
a four-issue story which independent comic publishers
Image and Shadowline released in 2012. Readers enter the strange life, or rather
lives of Lou Collins. He is
trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, taking over the lives
of others and trying to survive
the fate of this curse. Shortly
after his 13th funeral, Lou
meets Ella, a woman with the
same curse as him. The two
do their best to find an end to
the curse while staying alive,
f or at least longer than their
previous life.
The series is not for the
light-hearted. There are a
number of graphic scenes,
most concerning Lou's and
Ella's deaths, and is also
filled with crude language.
The comic i s more orientated to mature readers and
those who can handle a; bit
of blood and guts. Still,;the
story has an interesting way
of handling the idea of love.
Santos's art is complementary to Webe's writing, especially with the unique color
schemes and composition of
the panels.
