Members of the student
body and various student
organizations are uniting to
advocate for the creation of a
Raza Center on campus.
Translating from Spanish

Raza Center would function
as a means of providing support to Latino students and
cultural education to the student body as a whole. Primary goals including creating

Lucas Dunn memorial scholarship to send students abroad
B Y AMANDA LENOX
FEATURES EDITOR
Dr. Veronica Anover and
the French Club try to keep
one student's memoiy alive
through the Lucas Dunn Memorial Scholarship after he
died from a rock-climbing
accident.
Lucas Dunn was a CSUSM
student who tragically passed
away on May 17, 2013, before he was going to leave
to study abroad in Aix-enProvence, France in the fall.
Dunn's life was cut short
while he was rock-climbing; a rock went loose and
hit him. Although he wore a
helmet and harness, it ended

his life.
Dunn was one of Professor
Anover's French students in
her French 201 class in Fall
2011.
"Lucas sat in the back of
the class with a permanent
smile on his face. The first
time he spoke (in French!),
I was surprised by his deep
voice coming from a very
young face. And his French
was beautiful," Anover said.
Professor Anover felt
Dunn would be the perfect
candidate to study abroad in
France.
"I always mention to my
students the importance of
studying abroad and how it
is a life changing experience.
I give my students full support and help them prepare
their trip abroad along with
my wonderful colleagues in
Global Education," she said.
Because Dunn was unable
to make it to France, Anover.
decided to create a memorial scholarship to help fund
students to go to France and
study abroad. With the permission of Lucas' parents,
Kathy and A1 Dunn, Professor Anover was able to begin
raising money for the memorial scholarship.
To create an endowment
with Cal State San Marcos,
Anover and the French Club
must raise $25,000.
"An endowment is permanent. Cal State San Marcos
will give a percentage of the
funds ($25,000 is the minimum) for life. Lucas will
be "immortalized" for life.
A small consolation that will
never replace Lucas, but such
a big help for the students
who need financial support
to go abroad," she said.
Currently, they have raised
$10,000 and hope to reach
their goal by 2015. They are
currently organizing events
for next year to help in their
fundraising. In the Fall, the
French Club will hold a "garage8 sale" on campus and in
the Spring, Professor Anover
hopes to have a 5K run/walk.
To make a donation for the
scholarship you can go to

Celebrating the new USU
Feeling the beat in the heart of campus
B Y MIGUEL MAGANA
STAFF WRITER
The University Student
Union kicked off its Grand
Opening with cheers and
glee from all aspects of the
San Marcos community.
The grand opening is being called "The Beat: See it!
Hear it! Feel it!" because of
it's "heartbeat" function to
the campus. The union has
brought together students,
clubs and other organizations to create more sense of
a community. Students have
expressed the USU gives
more of a college feeling to
the campus.
"The USU is a great spot
for commuters on campus to
hang out between classes and
get some lunch or snacks! I
love going in the USU because it's really nice and
comfortable," commuter, &
student, Savanah McPhillips
said.
Sigma Chi member Jared Johnson said that despite
the food prices, the USU is
the focal point of the campus and makes Cal State San
Marcos feel more like a university. "I went to the Frozen
movie and felt like everyone
enjoyed it," he said.

Grand Opening Festivities.
"Since I had never seen
Frozen, it was really cool
to be able to go to the USU
with not only fellow classmates but with members of
the community.
It was a definitely a success," women's golfer, Casanadra Stevenson said, with
over 300 people showing up
to attend the film.
Initially, USUAB had anticipated 100 attendants for
the event. The amphitheater
was nearly as filled for the
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony where student athletics,
Greek life, student organizations, faculty, staff, alumni and community members
gathered in anticipation.
The USU has enjoyed tre-
mendous success thus far
with their grand opening
events. These have included Commuter Appreciation
Day, where students that
drive to school were given food as they explored
the new USU Commuter
Lounge. Another was the
Art fUSUion event, where
a local artist led an art class
which kicked off this new
program on campus. There
also was USU Unplugged,
which will also become a series, where students played
acoustic songs.

Parking prices weigh on student body
Students held responsible for parking structure expense
B Y A NNE H ALL
DESIGN EDITOR
Students, faculty and staff
alike are frustrated as parking prices continually add
to the financial burden of attending CSUSM.
Since the completion of the
487,000 square foot parking
structure in July 2010, Parking and Commuters Services
has been trying to make up
for the $27 million expense
of erecting the additional
1,605 parking spaces that
were made available by the
six floors of parking that exist on the north end of campus.
Decisions to create the
parking structure were finalized by the administration to
accommodate the projected
growth of student attendance
since 2002. Parking fee plans
held what was called a parking service open f orum to
inform campus community
of the population growth.
Students had addressed their
disapproval of the development plans, according to Alexander Hoang, former ASI
President.
The students' disapproval was measured against
the issue of the progressive
growth, with the vote to
move forward with these
plans siding with the university.
These plans for projected
fees resulted in a decision to
establish parking fee increases as of January 2003, Fall
2006 and Fall 2009 for students and other permit holders for the sake of providing
additional parking over time.
Along with these plans
came an expense projection
to open a second parking
structure between 2015 and
2016 to add an additional
1,200 parking spaces "without future drastic fee increases," according to the Parking
Fee Plan (3 Tier), which can
be found at www.csusm.
edu/parking/parkingfeeplanthreetier.html.
There are now 10 lots on
campus for parking on this

CSUSM's sports marketing

his doctorate in marketing
from the University of

Between the many sports

within this realm.

The positive thing is that
numerous companies are

ket in regards to advertising

"A more creative way to

After
transferring
to
CSUSM three years ago,
Ross Edmunds made the
unique transition from art
major to Kinesiology, which
has resulted in a wealth of
success.
It was Dr. Todd Astorino's
influence that sparked Edmunds' accelerating interest
in thé fitness and Kinesiology fields. In Astorino's
KINES 326 Intro to Exercise
Physiology course, Edmunds
worked as a teaching assistant to instruct students with
machines and as a research
assistant for a study that is
currently undergoing review.
He ended up continuing as a
research assistant for three
years and became a teaching
assistant for Dr. Sean Newcomer for two years.
"Dr. A has pushed me to
grow. He throws me outside
my comfort zone and has
kept pushing me to get more
passionate about the program
and everything we can do at
CSUSM and with the body,"
Edmunds said. "Dr. Newcomer has influenced me to
be in the best aerobic shape
of my life. He has made it
one of the highlights of my

For the remainder of the
month of April, CSUSM's
Pride Center will once again
host Gaypril, its annual
month-long celebration of
LGBTQ culture and awareness. The celebration features events, lectures, film
showings and gatherings
throughout the month, bringing together the school's
LGBTQ community in unity with its allies on campus.
This all, of course, leads up
to the famed Pride Walk parade on May 1.
Gaypril is split into four
different weeks, with each
week focusing on a different
subculture in LGBTQ. With
the first and second weeks
focusing mainly on gay and
lesbian subcultures (respectively), the upcoming weeks
in the month will focus on
some of the more marginalized and less culturally prevalent LGBTQ groups. This
includes third week events
concerning Bisexual and
Queer issues and a fourth
week dedicated to transgender issues.
During the third week,
the center plans on hosting
events to raise awareness of
problems faced by those in
the bisexual community; including marginalization by
both straight and gay cultures that do not understand
them, the problems associated with actively avoiding
a label to one's lifestyle and
the increasing stigma of HIV.
The fourth week, which focuses on transgender issues,
includes the screening of

After accompanying Police
Officer David Angulo on a
three hour policeride-alongI
learned why CSUSM is recognized as one of the safest
campuses in'the state of California. .
It was 8 p.m. on a Friday
night. I was eager and wideeyed listening intently to the
officer as he gave me a tour
of the facility. He led me
through narrow hallways,
scanning his badge to gain
access to locked doors .
"The campus police office
is equivalent to a full blown
police department," Officer
Angulo said.
The CSUSM campus police facility is equipped with
two holding cells and one
padded cell. There's also
the evidence locker where
officers are trained on how
to book weapons, drugs and
other illegal items in possession. Hie officer then led me
inside an interrogation room
with a two-way mirror. There
were also cubicles, conference rooms, lockers and
even a little gym in the back
of the facility.

The officer's job is to patrol on campus and outside

"Only White people can

either of these statements before and not used ironically?
I certainly have not, until I attended a lecture at
our campus Gender Equity

that racism and sexism
were simply defined as the
discriminations based on
race and sex respectively.

Teeth whitening naturally vs. over the counter
B Y LAUREN HAMMOND
O PINION E DITOR
Americans seem to be obsessed with dental hygiene,
particularly teeth whitening
treatments that help keep
smiles looking flawless.
However, many people
do not understand the severe side effects associated
to whitening treatments. In
2009, the Journal of Dentistry published a study stating
the harmful effects of tooth
whitening.
Over the counter treatments often have painful
effects on the gums. Over
whitening can cause the gum
line to recede, bleed and become inflamed. Excessive
whitening can also lead to
sensitive teeth and enamel
depletion. Enamel depletion
is the most harmful side effect, as it may lead to severe
internal tooth decay.
There are several holistic
remedies for tooth whitening. The benefits from using
natural products are that they
are more affordable and have
little to no side effects.
Coconut oil pulling is one
of the most effective natural remedies for whitening
teeth. When using this remedy, take a tablespoon of coconut oil and swish in your
mouth for 10 to 15 minutes.
Push the oil through the
teeth when swishing. Brushing with baking soda has an
amazing whitening effect,
but when brushing with it be
sure to only use this solution
once a week. Baking soda
can cause minor irritation to
the gums if used excessively. Swishing daily with food
grade hydrogen peroxide is
another affordable and effective remedy.
Ultimately, when it comes
to tooth care it is best to use
remedies that are naturopathic and that will not cause
one's oral health to be compromised. The holistic remedies as mentioned above
are especially convenient
for college students who
are looking to save money
any way they can. Instead
of spending your money on
teeth whitening items that
can cause harm to teeth, I
advise to spend a lot less on
a more effective, safer and
simpler natural product.

For myself and many others, science fiction tells more
than mere stories. Science
fiction imagines our future
world.
It imagines a future where
humanity seeks life in the
stars, fascinated by and celebrating our differences
rather than shunning them.
This genre calls up a sense of
wonder for technology and
exploration that we might not
revel in today but could well
tomorrow. Science fiction is
the human testament to our
ability to hope. But there is a
darker side to this genre. As
desirable as it is to envision
a shining future, science fiction easily provides accurate
social commentary on the
nature of man. At times we
must b e forced to confront
the fact that the more things
change, the more things stay
the same.
Orson Scott Card creates
an air of shivering realism in
his novels. The most famous
of w hich,inder's Game, has
long been considered one of
the most renowned works of
science fiction for the past 30
years.
However, it is the sequel
to this novel that deserves
the brunt of the accolades.
Speaker for the Dead takes
place 3000 years after
Ender's Game, and the titular character, Ender Wiggin, seeks redemption for
the genocide he committed
during the war. Space travel
has allowed Ender to freeze
his body in stasis, letting
Ender search the universe.
His journey leads him to a
Portuguese colony on the
planet Lusitania, where new
alien life has been discovered.
Pig-like in appearance yet
communicative, there may
be hope for humanity to redeem itself with this new
alien race. But fear of the
unknown and the colony's
firm hold on Catholic ideals threaten to damage their
relationship. Ender must intervene before humankind
makes the same mistake,
destroying Lusitania in the
process.
Speaker for the Dead is a
gorgeous novel. It addresses
issues that humans face today while teaching tolerance
and accepting the different.
There is no science fiction
novel more worth the read
and I highly recommend it to
all. This novel has won two
prestigious science fiction
awards, the Nebula Award
and the Hugo award, since
its publication.

I have to unfortunately

in both as mystical beings

Returning Golden Boy - Captain America 2
B Y L EXY PEREZ
STAFF WRITER
Every year, we find ourselves listening to Tony
Stark's witty comments as he
puts on that iron suit, admire
Thor's ability to be a masculine "Goldie Locks," root for
Peter Parker as he is trapped
in a "web" and watch the
Hulk turn into a big, green
guy, who clearly needs some
anger management classes.
Out of all the superheroes,
Captain America is the only
one that seems to be the
epitome of what we aspire
to be and hold principles
that we should abide by: to
be true to who you are and
stand for what , you believe
in. In this year's first superhero return to the big screen,
"Captain America 2: The
Winter Soldier" delivers everything that every Marvel
Fan would hope: Visual effects, gut-wrenching action
sequences and familiar faces
such as the characters Black
Widow and Nick Fury.
The film, reintroduced Steven Rogers (Chris Evans) as
the once scraggy soldier who
transformed into a "macho
man" with super strength,
speed, abs of steel and, not
to mention, glowing skin
and pearly white teeth that
makes-you wonder whether
he is a long lost relative of
Edward Cullen, Mr. Clean
and Barbie Ken. Dedicated
to stopping Hydra's evil plan
to control humanity, with assistance from Black Widow
(Scarlett Johansson) and his
new friend Falcon (Anthony
Mackie), Rogers is forced
to battle the bad guys, while
questioning the loyalty of
the U.S. government and his
S . HI .E .L .D. headquarters.
Adding more drama, Captain
America is acquainted with
Keanu Reeve's lookalike,
the Winter Soldier, a mysterious assassin questioned to
be a familiar face from his
past.
Sometimes it gets old to
watch the typical battle between the good and bad
guys. Call me old-fashioned,

but I can't help but prefer a
film with a genuine story
rather than one that focuses
purely on Hollywood glitz
and glam and who can throw
a punch better. Although the
film is nothing short of being
an enjoyable, edge of your
seat "Superhero" tale, it is
the hidden vulnerability of
the story that makes it all that
much better.
As Captain America battles
new enemies, he consistently expresses his loyalty to
only doing what he thinks
is right for himself and society, refusing to let anyone
convince him otherwise. Being that Marvel already confirmed future installments, it
is pointless to add dramatics
over whether Rogers will survive at the end of the film. At
times it can almost seem as if
the film is a documentary on
Rogers' new transformation
to being the American Yoda
(Becoming Society's guidance and Patriotic "force").
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier," is proof that a
sequel can outdo the original. The Avenger becomes an
admirable and likeable hero,
proving to be more than just
a handsome man that can
throw a shield.

When Masahiro Sakurai revealed trailers for his
fourth installment in the
popular Nintendo crossover
fighting series Super Smash
Bros, at E3 2013, fans across
the nation rejoiced. Along
with revealing a number of
returning veteran fighters,
Sakurai also unveiled a few
new characters joining the
fray for the first time: Villager from Animal Crossing, the
Wii Fit Trainer and, perhaps
the most exciting of all, Capcom's superstar cyber hero,
Mega Man.
Since then, Sakurai has
slowly but surely showed
little details about the game
as development went on, primarily through the pictures
he posts on Miiverse. Over
the course of these past 10
months since Smash Bros.
4 was unveiled for the first
time, they announced several
returning characters including Olimar of the Pikmin series, Lucario from Pokemon
and, much to Smash Bros.
Brawl fans' delight, Sega's
blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog. In addition, Sakurai also
revealed two new characters:
Rosalina and Luma of Super
Mario Galaxy and Little Mac
from Punch Out, who was an
Assist Trophy character in
the previous installment of
the franchise.
On April 8, Sakurai devoted a full, 40-minute-long

even more information about
the highly anticipated Smash
Bros. 4. Here he presented
several new aspects of the
game, including the differences between the 3DS and
Wii U versions.
The most recognizable of
these are: stages and game
modes. When Sakurai said
that the two versions would
have different stages, he
wasn't kidding.
As far as anyone can tell
right now, the only two stages the two games have in
common are the franchise's
signature stages: Battlefield and Final Destination.
tMk *
WdáÁ
SMASH BR/ÉÇ'
NINTENDO
3 DS
X
Sakurai also showed a game
mode exclusive to the 3DS
port: Smash Run, where four
players compete in a unique
competition involving a race
for power buffs that will be
used in a match following
said race.
Other than that, Sakurai
also talked about new and returning Assist Trophy characters from Brawl, including
Andross (Star Fox), Knuckle Joe (Kirby), Nintendog,
Skull Kid and Midna (Legend of Zelda), Dark Samus
(Metroid), Chain Chomp
(Super Mario), Elec Man
(Mega Man), and a rather
hilarious trophy called "Color TV-Game 15" that, as far
as Sakurai shows, is a large
game of Pong taking place
on the stage, knocking the
players around.
Although it's on the same
plane as every other franchise represented, Pokemon
has a special place in Smash
Bros in terms of items.
Whether a new fan .or old,
every player knows the value
of a PokeBall. If one drops
onto the stage, the reaction
of everyone is the same: get
it before the others! This
time around, however, those
red and white balls aren't the
only thing players will want
to get their Jhands on.
THIS time, Sakurai has included a new kind of PokeBall that is easily more valuable: the Master Ball, which
will only contain rare or
legendary Pokemon, where
a regular PokeBall will
contain common Pokemon.
New Pokemon include Arceus (4th generation), Eevee
(1st generation), Fennekin
(6th and newest generation),
Meloetta (5th), Gogoat (??),
for
Wii
Palkia (4th), Kyurem (5th),
Victim (5th), Keldeo (??),
and the well-known mascot
Xerneas.
Also, players who had a
problem with characters with
multiple forms will no longer
have that problem. ,In previous games Brawl and Melee,
Two returning characters
had alternate forms that they
could switch to in the middle of a battle: Zelda (Zelda)
could transform into Sheik,
while Samus (Metroid), by
using her Final Smash, could
shed her armor and become
Zero Suit Samus, while performing another Final Smash
would restore her armor.. In
Smash Bros. 4, these characters have all been split into
their own, solo forms, with
Zelda and Sheik getting new
attacks to replace the one
they would use to transform.
In addition, Sakurai also
made the anticipated confirmation of a returning fighter
who hasn't missed a game
yet: Yoshi (Mario), whose
revelation was delayed because the developers were
working on remodeling him
and didn't want to upset fans.
After Sakurai bade his fans
farewell, he dropped one
more trailer for us, dropping
two more exciting pieces of
information: the return of the
massively popular Pokemon
Charizard, now as a solo
fighter, and the introduction
of a new Pokemon fighter:
Greninja, the fully evolved
form of the 6th generation
starter Pokemon Froakie.
Super. Smash Bros, for
Nintendo 3DS is set to be
released in Summer 2014,
while Super Smash Bros, for
Wii U is set to be released the
following Winter.

60 Receive Youth
Service Awards
in Outdoor
Ceremony
CSUSM honored 60 young people,
their parents, and sponsors, at the President's
Youth Service Awards Thursday, April 19
in an outdoor ceremony which took place on
the staircase next to Craven Hall. Youths
were recognized for their volunteer and leadership efforts to make North County a better
place.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House Office of
National Service and the Corporation of
National and Community Service.
Because of CSUSM's commitment to
community service, the University was authorized to assist in identifying those young
people whose volunteer efforts are a model
for all. Each year CSUSM honors young
people, ages 5-22, with the President's
Awards or the National Award to recognize
meaningful service to the community.
The awards, presented by Provost Richard Millman, were in four age categories:
5-8 years, 9-13 years, 14-17 years, and 1822 years. The awards were designed to
recognize voluntary, non-paid, community
service and to recognize hands-on service.
Criteria used—exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic.
The National Awards honor students
who demonstrate meaningful community
service accomplished at a level slightly less
exacting than the President's Award. Recipients receive a sculpted pin which carries
the Great Seal of the United States along
with a handsomely designed certificate that
is signed by President Clinton.

With the Associated Student Elections
for the 1994-95 school year are coming up on
May 2 and 3, the following are statements
made by various candidates running for
office:
Neil A. Rombardo
My name is Neil A. Rombardo. I am
majoring in Economics, and am interested in
serving as A.S. undergraduate representative-at-large. I currently serve on the University Gloval Affairs Committee and the Recreation Committee. I would like to further
serve the students of CSUSM. The most
important issue to the students is strengthening the university's growing reputation. A
strong reputation will increase the university's
enrollment, and place graduates in higher
demand. If elected, I will continue the Associated Student Go vernment's commitment to
excellence.
Brittany Crist
I wish to run for representative of the
College of Arts and Sciences. Because I have
attended CSUSM for two years, I know what
the needs and issues of students are. I am an

Scott Morey
I have decided to run for A.S. president
because this office can make a difference in
the quality of student life on campus. Please
consider me for you vote for the following
reasons: I have past experience in student
government at both the high school and junior college level. As a Political Science
major, I have acquired an understanding in
what it takes to succeed in politics. As a
leader within a Greek social/service organization, I know what it takes to be a team
player and how to get things done. I am
committed to seeing the quality of student life
improve at CSUSM. As you president, I
pledge to maintain an active presidency which
would include holding a student forum at
least once a month where students could
voice their concerns on campus issues.

Fourth graders take first
step to college
CSUSM will hold its first "I'm Going to
College" day on April 29. 160 Fourth
graders from Palomar Elementary School
will get a sample of what college life is like
on the CSUSM campus.
By simulating the first day at the university, the program seeks to increase the number of low-income and minority students
going to college. Studies show a need to
begin preparing and encouraging students
at an early age, particularly students whose

Mandatory Health Services
Fee
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Many of you are aware of the major
budget problems the CSU system has been
facing over the past few years. However, you
may not be aware of the major funding problems for Student Health Services within the
CSU system that have occurred in the past
few years. There have been drastic reductions in funding and a few of the larger health
services were very close to having to cease
operations.
The Student Health Advisory Board has
asked that I write an article to discuss the
history of the funding problems and how
other campuses have moved to alleviate the
problem. The vast majority of campuses
have instituted a mandatory Health Services
Fee. This fee should not be confused with the
$3 Health FacilitiesFeealreadyinplace. The
Health Facilities Fee does not contribute to
ongoing operations of the Student Health
Service. This f ee is controlled by the
Chancellor's Office can only be used for
building or renovation of CSU Health Services.
Actually, 17 of the 20 campuses have a
mandatory Health Fee ranging from $20 to
$59 per semester in 1993/94. This fee accounts for 40% to 100% of the funding for
Student Health Services throughout the system. This mandatory fee allows for at least
basic services to be continued at all the campuses and at some it allows for augmented or
special services to be performed at no additional charge. Itisalsoofinteresttonotethat
throughout the country, Health Services Fees
are at a much higher level. A recent survey
revealed an average fee of $84 per semester.
Here at CSUSM we have been fortunate
that even in the face of decreasing budget
throughout the system, the University has
continued to grow. The planners also were
able to anticipate a need for Student Health
Services and provided funding for space,
equipment, and the initial staff to provide
services. The result is, I believe, a very nice
facility appropriately equipped and providing high quality primary care and preventive
health services. Likewise, we continue to
provide and develop campus-wide health
education including a Peer Health Education
program.
At this time, the funding projection for
CSUSM Student Health Services for 1994/
95 will be at the same level as 1993/94. In
order to provide the same level of service as
well as to continue expanding services, a
mandatory Student Health Fee is necessary.
The Student Health Advisory Board has endorsed the concept of this fee, Theywantthe
general student population to be informed.
An open forum on this matter will be held on
Tuesday, May 3rd from 3 PM to 4:30 PM in
ACD305.
Student Health Services has received consistent praise for its programs and services by
students. Student Health Services exists to
provide high quality primary care and preventive services and encourages high level
student involvement in those services. We
encourage you to become familiar with Student Health Services and utilize the services
you are funding. If you have questions address them to the Student Health Advisory
Board or myself, Joel Grinolds, MD, by calling 752-4915.

S.H.A.B. Notes
On Saturday, April 16,theStudentHealth
Advisory Board volunteers participated in
the International Day of the Family at Walnut
Grove Park in San Marcos. They sponsored
a food and nutrition booth. The volunteers
estimated that they made over 200 healthy
low-fat chicken and vegetarian fajitas, and
sold 250 juice snow cones. Also, they gave
out free brochures and information about
healthy nutrition and reducing dietary cholesterol.
The all-day event drew a crowd of over
4000 people, and had over 50 programs distributing information on community services.
There were numerous arts and crafts and
children's activity booths, as well as youth
musical and dramatic performances. This
free annual event was sponsored by the San
Marcos Family Care Commission.
S.H.A.B. MEETING:
The next meeting of the Student Health
Advisory Board is on Tuesday, April 26 from
11 A.M. to noon in the Student Health Services conference room, first floor of Craven

Most people d on't realize how lucky we
are to live in the age where counting fat
grams corresponds with the explosion of fatfree products available today. Back in my
mother's day being on a diet consisted of
boring and bland foods such as melba toast,
cottage cheese, and celery-YUCK!
I am a connoisseur of fat-free foods that
tantalize the taste buds. I am forever searching for a new exciting product that I can
promote to my friends. Of all the products I
have tried, certain ones stand out above the
rest and I would like to pass this information
on to you. Here is a little backround . . .
A person's diet should consist of about
20-30 grams of fat per day and not any more.
The logic behind watching fat grams is that
gram for gram, fat has more calories than
protein or carbohydrates. A gram of fat is 9
calories while a gram of carbohydrates is just
4 calories. This definitely makes a difference
when you add up the calories. The bottom
line is to consume the equivalent or less than
the calories expended. Since carbohydrates
are lower in calories, they help to keep caloric
count down. The body stores carbohydrates
in the muscles for up to 36 hours so they don't
have to be utilized immediately. Finally,
another fact in favor of carbohydrates is that
it takes 32 steps for the body to turn carbohydrates into fat whereas fat is only three small
steps to the thighs.
One word of caution when you begin the
journey into fat-free heaven—watch out for
consuming too many empty calories. Some
foods are low in fat and high in nutrients
whereas other foods are low in fat and void of
nutrients. These empty-calorie foods make
great alternatives for high-fat snacks and desserts but should not be a part of a daily diet.
So here it goes...My favorite yogurt is
made by Yoplait Light. It is only 90 calories
a serving and is so creamy that you feel guilty.
Some of the betterflavorsare tropical banana
and apricot mango. Yoplait also makes a
crunch light which has fun toppings like
granola.
As far as snacks go, if you haven't tried
Louis' baked tortilla or potato chips you will
be in for a nice surprise. They come in many
flavors like ranch or barbecue. Be careful
because you can't stop at just one. Pretzels
have always been low or fat free and Harry's
sourdough are spectacular!
Often oil-free salad dressings don't do
much to liven up lettuce, but I found two that
do. Bernstein's makes a line of 98 percent fat
free salad dressings that are packed with
pizazz. Try the Parmesan Ranch. S&W
Vintage Light blush wine vinaigrette is light
and tangy and tastes homemade.
For the sweet tooth in all of us, Antenna's
Double Fat Free Fudge Brownies are soooo
delicious! These would cure any chocolate
craving. Snack Well's lowfat cookie assortments are also good. My favorite are the new
double fudge. Don't forget to try Nabisco's
fat free Fig Newton that also comes in fruit
flavors such as cranberry.
It was difficult limiting some of my favorite fat-free products but it is a start. I hope the
items mentioned pave the path to healthier
eating. Afinalword of caution—always look
at the fat and calorie count in regards to
serving size. Often times, manufacturers like
to suggest false claims. The USDA is working on new regulations for labeling so that the
serving size and claims will be realistic and
resemble the truth. ENJOY!!

�So what's a dumpster dive, anyway?
Ivalee Clark
Director Support Services
To promote the awareness of the recycling program,
the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, together
with Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, sponsored a
"Dumpster Dive," more formally known as a waste characterization, on March 10. Even though CSUSM has an
aggressive recycling program in place, the "dive" was held
to see how CSUSM's model university recycling program is
working and to possibly identify additional items which can
be diverted from going to the landfill.
Approximately 50 participants gathered for pizza and
cokes prior to sorting through the trash. The group was
divided into teams of three.. two sorted and one wrote down
items being found in the trash. Containers for recovered
recyclables were available along with trash cans to categorize the actual waste products. When the sorting was
completed, the categorized materials were weighed.
Here is what we found:

OBSERVATIONS
AND RESOLUTIONS
Addition of conveniently located mixed paper containers in the Dome Cafe where students study ; recommend paper
shredders in offices that generate confidential material; consider putting recycling containers in the parking lots; and,
evaluate the use of paper containers in Food Services.
The dumpster dive was a tremendous success, and a lot
of fun as you can see. Waste characterization training was
accomplished in addition to the University receiving excellent exposure in the community.
Together we have. . .and will continue to make a
difference!

Cliche in the Classroom
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The Vista Unified School District has garnered nationwide publicity, first for requiring a
discussion of creationism in science classrooms
that teach evolution, and now for supporting the
controversial Sex Respect curriculum. Sex Respect is a program where students in health classes
are taught the Value of abstinence and the dangers
of premarital sex. Slogans such as "Do the right
thing, wait for thering,""Pet your dog, not your
date," and "Control your urging, be a virgin" are
the educational cornerstones of the Sex Respect
policy. Condoms or other forms of birth control
are downplayed as dangerous and not worth discussing.
Deidre Holliday, theringleaderof the group
of three conservative Christians (including Gregy
Tyndall and Joyce Lee) that makes up the majority
of the board, has been viciously attacked in the
local press and a recall effort is underway to
remove all three from the board in a November
vote. The Vista Teachers Union, though reticent
to jump into the fray, recently voted overwhelmingly to support the recall. Signatures are being
collected, and it should soon be clear whether or
not the issue will go before a public vote.
What in the world has happened to the
sleepy, retirement community of Vista? Long
renowned for a fine public school system that
consistently produced high AP pass and college
acceptance rates, the Vista Unified School District
has suddenly become a nationwide symbol of
religious political activism that blurs the separation between church and state. A recall effort will
be costly andrisky,but it is undeniably necessary
to preserve not only the national reputation of the
Vista School District but also the future of Vista's
children.
Holliday was elected in 1990 in what many
have characterized as a "stealth" campaign that
focused on area churches and religious gatherings
and eschewed traditional candidate forums. At the
time of her election, I was a Vista High senior and
Editor of the school paper and had the opportunity
Letters to the Editor
Conroy's Comments on
Illegals Refreshing
Dear Editor:
Thanksforrunning the letter from Assemblyman Mickey Conroy about his bill to
prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in state
universities and colleges. This was a refreshing change in news coming from CSUSM
recently. The problem of illegal aliens is
severe. Some facts:
• According to a recent report by SDSU
professors for State Seantor Bill Craven,
illegals cost county taxpayers a net of $244
million yearly for courts, schools, welfare
and other benefits. Craven is to be commended for issuing this report.
• Illegals are the fastest growing segment
of state and federal prisoners.
• It costs state taxpayers over $600 million to educate illegals each year; Mountain
Empire schools were recently found by the
state auditor to have fraudulently enrolled
hundreds of Mexican nationals.
• Illegals yearly receive over $800million
in fraudulent medical payments, according to
a report from the County MediCal Fraud task
force; yet Americans are turned away.
Our nation must defend its borders, it it is
to remain a sovereign nation.

Questions Witnesses to
"Conduct"
Dear Editor:
In regards to your article, "Conduct
Unbecoming a Faculty Member... or anyone
to interview Holliday. Though little was known of
her at the time, there were intense murmuring
about her Christian leanings. I found her to be
extremely polite and thoughtful, answering questions with articulate, intelligent responses. She
insisted that she wanted only to leave sex education up to individual families, and to confine
schools to teaching educational basics. She did
nothing to hide her Christian faith. I had the
impression that Mrs. Holliday was not a religious
radical but a passionate, moderate citizen.
I was wrong. The actions of the school
board in the past 4 years indicate beyond a shadow
of a doubt that beneath that gentle facade lurks an
unavowed enemy of public education with no
respect for cultural diversity, the scientific community, the professional judgment of hard-working teachers, or the Constitution. Contrary to
Holliday's stated aim of leaving moral education
up to individual families, the board has engaged in
exactly the kind of cultural arrogance and narrowminded hypocrisy that it should be the aim of any
decent liberal education to abolish.
The logic behind the Sex Respect policy is
even more dangerous. At a time when teen pregnancy and the fatal threat of AIDS make irresponsible attitudes towards sexual activity potentially
deadly, it is preposterous to cloak a discussion
about teenage sexuality in this kind of
simpleminded, cliched moralism. Students need
straight answers and clearheaded advice, not
preaching and condescension. Abstinence should
certainly be presented as the only sure way to
avoid AIDS or pregnancy, but it is morally repugnant to avoid a detailed discussion of methods of
birth control at a time when the propert use of a
condom could very easily mean the difference
between life and death.
This is not to say that Holliday and her hit
squad are not well-intentioned. But the Vista
School Board has unfortunately chosen the tools
of exclusion, religious bigotry and fear. The citizens of Vista should spare no time nor expense at
putting an immediate stop to this illegal, immoral
and unethical political escapade. Nothing less
than the future of our children depends upon it.
else," I question how many people were witness to this occurrence. I also wonder whose
decision it was to print Dr. Seleski's name,
and was there any effort contacting Dr. Seleski
before publication to confirm the story?
Though I do not condone rude behavior
on the part of faculty, staff and students, I
question the adversarial tone of the article.
For example, "Seleski said she knew why it
(Lexis/Nexis) was down, but continued to
complain." This statement is vague and lends
no information to the article other than to
slander Dr. Seleski.
If I, a casual reader, can pick out the
bias in this article, what would the average
San Marcos citizen think of this university. I
hope you take this into consideration when
you publish other critical articles about faculty, staff and students.

lecture. Another time, in a different class, a
student basically told the teacher to get on
with the lecture.
Firstly, these comments are not only
uncalled for, but reflect badly on the student
body. A student who has yet to achieve a
bachelor's degree has a lot of nerve commenting on the performance of a person who
has obtained Ph.D. caliber.
Secondly, these comments create an
embarrassing atmosphere in class. These
teachers have to "suck it up" in the interest of
professionalism, but it obviously hurts their
feelings. Not only that, but the more considerate students feel the need to apologize for
the rude behavior of these people.
We hope hope this letter will make
students think twice about their behavior in
class and give professors the respect they
warrant.

CSUSM will host its second annual
Multicultural Student Leadership Conference, "Leadership: Making It Happen," on Saturday, April 30, on the
CSUSM campus, 8:30 AM to 3 PM.
j
"If we are to have the type of leadership which we need for the 21 st century,
we must begin preparing those leaders
today," notes Dr. Richard Millman, Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs at CSUSM. "It is for that reason
we continue to sponsor a conference
which promotes student excellence
through developing leadership skills."
Minority students have nearly closed
the gap with their white counterparts in
earning high school diplomas. However,
college graduation rates have remained
inordinately low for students of color,
according to the American Council on
Education's status report on minorities
in higher education.
The conference will bring together
ISOstudent leaders fromNorth County's
^
under-represented groups to participate in a
series ofmotivational and developmental workshops. The conference is designed to develop
and enhance their leadership skills and to expose the students to minority leaders from the
community.
Maria Velasquez, KFMB (Channel 8) TV
personality, will be this year's keynote speaker,
The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference workshops will be presented by community leaders from various professions addressing such topics as "What Makes aLeader, How
do Leaders Communicate, What Are the Responsibilities of Leadership, and Your Dream
is Possible." Workshop presenters will inelude: Minerva Gonzalez, Director of Financial Aid, Palomar College; and Terry Johnson,
Deputy Mayor, City of Oceanside.
The conference is free and open to all
under-represented high school students. For
registration information, call the Student Affirmative Action Program at 752-4870 or Fax
752-4030.

�"La Perla," a Haunting Tale of Homeland and Family
Ernesto Ravetto, noted San Francisco actor and artistic director
of Theatre Adelante, will give a one-man show, La Perla (The Pearl), at
CSUSM. Set in the plains and cities of Argentina, La Perla is a tale of
memory and yearning that unfolds with seductive energy. At the center
of La Perla is a search for family, a search for history, and a search for
love: searches that reveal not only truths of the heart but also truths
about the land that is Argentina.
La Perla was inspired by the actor's return to his homeland after
a 20-year absence. Ravetto's return to Argentina began as a quest to
learn more about an aunt that he never knew; but while there, he
encountered both the truths of love and the loss that continue to haunt
his own family and the pain of memory and silence that continues to
haunt the politics of contemporary Argentina. From these experiences,
Ravetto and co-author Cheyney Ryan, fashioned a complex and enigmatic tale that speaks to the experience of us all.
La Perla will be performed on Friday, April 22 at 7 PM in ACD
102. Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission.
Tickets may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730),
or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).
For more information call 752-4945.

TOP JAZZ PIANIST
TO PERFORM AT
CSUSM
As part of the Bank of America Piano Series, one of the nation's top jazz
pianists, Mike Wofford, and his trio will perform at CSUSM on Sunday, May & at
3 p.m. in ACD 102. The trio includes Gunnar Biggs on bass and Duncan Moore on
drums.
Wofford has been a highly respected name in jazz for several decades. He
entered the Los Angeles jazz scene in the late '50s with the legendary Lighthouse
All-Stars, the bands of Shelly Manne, Teddy Edwards, Chet Baker, Zoot Sims, and
many others.
Over the years, Wofford recorded and appeared with many of the, biggest
naihes in jazz. Vie was conductor and accompanist for Sarah Vaughan, and is
probably bestkiiown for his work with Ella Fitzgerald. From 1980 to 1992 he was
musical director and pianist for Fitzgerald and was pianist on her 1991 Grammy
Award-winning CD "All That Jazz."
Traveling throughout the United States as well as Europe, Canada, Japan, and
South America, Wofford has established an international reputation. He has
performed at virtually all the major jazz festivals, both nationally and internationally, as well as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wolf Trap, and the Hollywood Bowl.
Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets
may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730), or at the door onehalf hour before the performance (unless it is sold out). For more information call
752-4945.
�Photo Exhibit
Features Jazz
Artists
The CSUSM library will feature a photographic exhibit by M. Lea Rudee from April
22 to June 22. The photographs of local and
visiting jazz musicians were taken during
performances in San Diego.
Mr. Rudee, who served on the San Diego
Jazz Festival's board of directors, took some
of the photos in night clubs, but most were
taken at performances of either the SD Jazz
Festival or the Jazz Society of Lower California. Rudee stated that, "Photography and
jazz have artistic elements in common. Of all
musical forms, jazz places the highest emphasis on instantaneous, intuitive improvisation. The term 'instrument of intuition',
which has been used to describe the camera
could just as well apply to the jazz soloist.
The exhibit is located in the university
library, on the third floor of Craven Hall.
Please join the Library Arts Committee at a
reception for the opening of Rudee's show .
Jazz musicians Gunnar Biggs, John Harris
and Bob Boss will play jazz in the library's
courtyard on Friday, April 22 from 3:15 to
3:45 PM. The reception is from 3-4:30. The
25-photo exhibit celebrates local and visiting
jazz musicians.
The exhibit is free and open to the public
during regular library hours: Mon.-Thur. 8 AM
to 9 PM, Fri. 8AM to 4 PM, and Sat. 10AM to
4PM. For more information, call Marge
Hohenberger 752-4350.
Pianist Peter Gach to
Perform on April 24
As part of the Bank of Americia P iano.
Series, Peter Gach will perform the works of
Bill Bradbury and Karol Szymanowski in a
piano concert on April 24, at 3 PM in ACD
102.
Gach, who currently serves as the chair of
Palomar College's music department/regularly gives premiere performances of works
by contemporary composers, many of which
have been written for him. His Polish background has led him to the music of Chopin, as
well as other Polish composers such as Karol
Szymanowski.
Gach has performed extensively throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. His concerts
were featured on radio and television in Poland, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
After earning degrees in piano and Slavic
languages, Gach completed his doctorate at
the University of Arizona. During his postgraduate studies, Gach studied at the Warsaw
Conservatory with the internationally renowned Chopin authority, Jan Ekier.
Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and
$5 for general admission. Tickets may be
purchased at the University Store, by phone
(752-4730), or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).

While stainless steel tables and a stainless countertop sound kind of cold* there's
a definite coziness and warmth here. Perhaps i t's the soft halogen lighting or the
cozy corner where you can sit back on a
chaise lounge as you browse through some
interesting magazines and newspapers. Or
maybe it's the smiling faces and warmth
of the o wners, Sandra and Edgar
Schuermann.
Along with the traditional coffee drinks
Artista offers some unusual ones. Cafe
Amore—French vanilla ice cream topped
with hot espresso, chocolate syrup, j
whipped cream dusted with amaretto cookies, is one of Sandra's favorites. Artista
also offers a unique variety of sandwiches
made on fresh-baked croissants or foccacia
bread.
What gives Artista a feel of being
"alive?" Its ongoing change in artwork
which is displayed on the walls. Currently
on display are black-and-white photographs
by award-winning Japanese photographer,
Satoru Yoshioka. Artista plans to change
its displays regularly to showcase works
by local and interesting artists.
By day, Artista. caters to a local business crowd. Evenings and weekends bring
out an array of academia, artists and locals.
Artista is located at 427 North
Escondido Boulevard in Escondido, near
the new post office and across the street
from the new California Center for the Arts
complex due to open this fall.
So, for a favorite coffee drink, a tasty
sandwich, a chance to browse through local and international periodicals, or some
friendly conversation with Sandra and
Edgar, Artista is a welcome addition to
North County.

The green light that mesmerized Gatsby. Youth, innocence,

In a recent L.A. Times Book Review, a
friend of the late, great, gutter poet, Charles
Bukowski, recalled the moment he heard of the
writer's death. He was riding in his car when a
Bukowski poem came on the radio. At first, he
was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend's
work, but then he realized that he was listening
to an AM station. Any time such subversive
work invaded AM airwaves, he thought, it
couldn't be a good sign. Bukowski, of course,
was the prototypical literary renegade, far too
obscene and daring for mainstream culture—
until his death, that is.
I had a simitar experience at 12:30 on a
sunny California Friday afternoon. I unexpectedly received the day off from work and was
leisurely driving by the beach with a friend
when I heard the opening chords of Nirvana's
"Rape Me" blaringfroman otherwise tame AM
news station. The "godfather of grunge," as the
Barbie doll newswoman characterized Kurt
Cobain, had been found dead that morning from
a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Seattle
home. The "Generation X spokesman," Barbie
reported, had struggled with heroin addiction
and severe depression. His cryptic suicide note,
publicly read a few days later by Cobain's wife
and fellow musician, Courtney Love, spoke of
losing excitement for life, of feeling guilty for
"faking it." Quoting Neil Young, Cobain wrote,
"It's better to burn out than to fade away."
Kurt Cobain was not a spokesman for my
generation, and the media's unrelenting need to
characterize him as such was intellectually lazy
and artistically unfair. He was a confused,
depressed, probably mentally ill, but enormously
talented sognwriter who felt immense uneasiness and frustration about the fame unleashed
upon his Seattle garage band after "Smells Like
Teen Spirit" suddenly became some kind of
generational anthem.
It was always obvious that music served as
an intense and genuine form of aesthetic therapy
for the "troubled" poet. Nirvana's themes were
alienation, self-loathing, and displacement—
the thematic territory of every angry punk band
OuAurt
StudentS
fromthe Sex Pistols to Pearl Jam, But what set
Nirvana apart from the beginning was Cobain's
haunting, personal songwriting and the gentle,
fragile melodies that inevitably descended into a
haze of feedback and sonic confusion. And it
was that quality, an artistic marriage of longing
and angry resentment, innocence and powerlessness, personal guilt and social frustration, that
gave songs like "All Apologies," "Lithium,"
"Polly," "Rape Me," and "Heart Shaped Box"
their direct, intense power.
In that sense, Cobain did speak to lonely,
confused depressives like Bob Dylan, John
Lennon, Neil Young and Lou Reed did before
him. But it is the American public's incessant
need to valorize these artists, to turn them into
heroes and godfathers of movements that destroys their musical identity.
Musicians are not leaders, not politicians or
activists; especially someone as uncomfortable
with adulation as Cobain. Nirvana had no answers to our generational dilemma nor professed
prescriptions for m an's existential plight.
Cobain's suicide is proof of that. Just because a
song can provide a few minutes of solace, just
because artcan be made vital and immediate, doe
not make an artist a hero. Hero worship is
dangerous, not least of all, for the hero.
Bob Dylan wrote "It Ain'tMe Babe,"abitter,
biting renunciation of generational leadership, at
the height of his career. John Lennon eschewed
God and all other forms of idolatry ("I just
believe in me") at a time when the Beatles had
nearly surpassed Jesus Christ in popularity.
Cobain made Nirvana9s second major label album, In Utero, far less accessible and radiofriendly than itsfirst("Teenage angst has served
me well/Now I'm bored and old"), but it sold
millions of copies anyway. Cobain lost to milions
of flannel-clad followers what was perhaps his
last refuge against emotional abyss—his music.
He was no hero. He was a poet, and that is the
fact that will remain long after the feeding frenzy
of cheap speculation about the details of his
personal life is over. I, for one, will continue to
celebrate that fact.

�Are We Evolving Ourselves
Into Extinction?
Yvonne Gillis
Contributing Writer
Most of us are familiar with Charles
Darwin and his theory of evolution. Probably fewer of us are aware of the fact that
he discovered over 200 new species in
one month on his trip to the Galapagos
Islands. And even fewer of us are aware
that today, less than 150 years later, biologists estimate that during 1993 at least
4,000 and as many as 36,000 species
became extinct.
While Darwin found himself extremely excited over discovering species
and documenting their descriptions and
habitats, scientists today do not find equal
joy in documenting the rapid eradication
of many of the world's plants and organisms necessary for us to sustain life.
Necessary to sustain life? Yes! Seventy percent of the 3,000 plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as
sources of cancer-fighting chemicals
come from tropical forests. Recently, the
Institute found that the extract from a
vine located in the rain forests in
Cameroon inhibits the replication of the
AIDS virus.
While you read this article, another
type of plant species that could cure a
AfiWRTISIlSte
type of cancer or AIDS may be wiped out
forever. Environmentalists consider the loss
of tropical rain forests to be the world's most
serious problem. These forests are homes to
at least 50 percent of the earth's total species.
Take for example the rosy Periwinkle.
This flowering plant of the threatened tropical forests of Madagascar has two extracts
used successfully to treat victims of lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The
active ingredients for 25 percent of our medicinal drugs are extracted from ants, most of
which grow in the rain forests. Once the
active compound is identified and isolated, it
can be synthesized by chemists for our use.
But the plant has to still be with us to
identify the active ingredient. From the bark
of the Yew tree, a rare Pacific tree, chemists
extract the all-important substance called taxol
which is used in ovarian and breast cancer
treatment. Some environmental groups worried that logging and illegal bark stripping
were threatening the Yew supply and hurting
the legitimate harvesting of bark for taxol.
Luckily though, by studying the taxol components, chemists have recently been able to
produce a synthetic compound for commercial use.
Darwin's Origins of Species (1959)
advanced the case for evolution. Living
creatures had evolved over millennia according to a principle described by one of
his supporters as "the survival of the
fittest." Darwin explained how non-random processes put the forces of the environment upon species to create natural
selection.
For example, if white rabbits and
brown rabbits were living in snow country, the white rabbits, because of their
ability to blend into the environment, will
tend to escape their predators more readily
than the brown rabbits. Conversely,
brown rabbits blend into the desert setting easier than white rabbit. As a consequence, white rabbits thrive in snow country while the brown ones proliferate in the
desert.
So who looms to be the biggest predator of all? The present crisis of the rapid
extinction of numerous plants and organisms is the first to be caused by a single
species—our own. What would Darwin
have though of this new development in
the evolution of the species?

to vote
on Strike
against
the CSU in
March
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
Beginning on Monday,
March 5 through Thursday,
March 8, the CSUSM California Faculty Association will
vote whether or not they will
officially go on strike against
the CSU Chancellor's Office
and the Board of Trustees in
an effort for a fair contract.
Dr. Janet Powell, President of
the local chapter of the CFA,
said, "We feel very confident
this vote will pass statewide."
All
faculty
members
who belong to the CFA can
vote two separate ways. On
March 5, the faculty will be
able to vote in front of Kellogg Library. The CFA will
also accept voting through
email but can not guarantee
anonymity. Once the voting
is finished, CSUSM should
know by Monday, March 19
if and when the CFA will go
on strike.
If the CFA chooses to strike,
they will do so simultaneously
with at least three Cal State
Universities. The order and
days of which the CFA schedules the strikes is unknown.
Faculty members could go on
strike "on any given Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" said Dr. Powell. If after
the CFA takes part in strikes
across the California, and the
Chancellor's office still withholds a fair contract for faculty, the CFA could chose to
continue the strike. Dr. Powell
added, "The pressure is on
the Chancellor and Board of
Trustees without hurting the
students. We don't want to
leave students out there. If we
could do something else, we
would."
During last Friday's ASI
meeting, ASI made a resolution on the CFA and CSU
collective bargaining. Vice
President of External Affairs,
Jeremy Mills, said, "Basically,
we are taking the stance that
students have no place in the
collective bargaining process.
There's no way for us to truly
know what's going on in the
collective bargaining process
because they do have closed
session meetings and the only
information we get is when

Historical Tukwut courtyard
dedication to be held this week
On Thursday, March 1,
during university hour, Cal
State San Marcos will be dedicating the Courtyard outside
of Cougar Central on the third
floor of Craven Hall as the
Tukwut Courtyard. Tukwut
(pronounced
"TOOK-woot")
is the Luiseno word for inountaifi lion. According to an article written by adjunct faculty
member Brendon Cesmat, this
word was given to Cal State S an
Marcos by a Luiseno elder and
adopted by the first graduating
class of CSUSM as an unofficial mascot. In 1998, when the
official mascot was chosen,

CSUSM's S ocial a nd B ehavioral
R esearch I nstitute t o
p ermanently c lose in J une
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
In 1994, Dr. Richard Serpe put
his efforts toward creating the
Social and Behavioral Research
Institute of CSUSM. Since then,
SBRI has completed studies integral to the health and well being
of the public on both national and
local levels. On June 30, due to the
strategic plan of the university and
to the lack of finances, CSUSM's
institute will close.
Director of Research, Allen
Risley, joined Dr. Serpe in 1994
to build the SBRI into what it has
become today. Risley said, "The
marketplace is very competitive to
get research projects and the costs
of research projects." Risley added,
"I will miss work. These projects
make a difference in the community." The institute has completed
thousands of studies on social
behavior. Some of those studies
include health care for diabetics,
victimization, compulsive shopping, childhood obesity and the
public opinion in Carlsbad.

ident Alex Gonzalez. Cesmat
said, "The spirit of Tukwut
has haunted the campus ever
since the former administration
denied Tukwut its opportunity
at the ballot box."
Associated Student President
Roy Lee agreed, "Tukwut was
a sensitive subject because we
(students, faculty, administration and s taff) were not sure if
the Luiseno people were okay
with us utilizing the word a fter
Cougar replaced it as our official mascot."
Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs
said that steps have been taken
in the right direction to reclaim
this g ift given nearly 17 years
ago, and t hat ASI and the s tudents on campus have been
giving it the respect and recognition it r ightfully deserves.
Lee said, "ASI, as the official
student voice, has made a statement to reclaim Tukwut as a
g ift and acknowledge its significant meaning and history. We
embrace Tukwut and hope that
all students, faculty, adminisr
tration, s taff and the community take ownership of it and
develop the meaning of Tukwut
for themselves as a person at
CSUSM."
Hunwut Turner, Rincon band
member, director of the Rincon
Education Center and Luiseno
person, commended the e fforts,

excellence. The event takes
place in Fallbrook on March
17, 2007 at Grand Tradition
from 6p.m. until 11p.m. Director of alumni relations Heather
Manley, the Alumni Association, arid alumni volunteers
sent invitations through emails,
and mailed invitations to members of the Alumni Association.

because this is an appropriate
time to begin a new tradition
for honoring CSUSM alumni.
She states, "This event marks a
new tradition of excellence for
our campus. We are at the point
in our history, now, where it is
important."
The cocktail attire festivities will include a champagne
reception and a prime rib
dinner. Guests will dance the
night away in celebration of
the achievements amongst our
growing CSUSM community.
A committee from the Alumni
Association Board of Directors
chose two distinguished alumni
to honor for the evening based
on nominations from alumni,
students, faculty, s taff, and
administrators; The criteria for
achieving the award are commitment to scholarship, leadership,
and service, outstanding role
model for students and alumni,
and achievement in one's profession or career or outstanding
community service.
The c hosen, recipients of
the Achievement Award are
alumni Salvador Garcia and
Jack Burke.
According to
media relations, Garcia earned
his m aster's • and bachelor's
degrees in business administration, and* is currently "The
interim vice chairman for the
Juaneno Band of Mission Indians." He also works with tribal
communities, and Viejas Tribal
Government to develop better
education and programs for
the b enefit of younger tribal
members that are pursuing college at CSUSM. Among his
many achievements, Garcia is

science and formerly served on
the A lumni Association Board
of Directors as director of legislative a ffairs. Burke also

the Washington D.C o ffice of
Congressman Duncan Hunter.
Alumni Director of Relations,
H. Manley shares the prestigious
experience of organizing, along
with her colleagues, the very
first Alumni Gala. She states,
"Working on the fine details of
t his event, [has] been a great
experience, relatively smooth,
and we are looking forward to
March 17."

Kat Schulz is the president
of the Pre-Health Society and
says that they still need volunteers to donate blood. Beginning on March 7, students can
sign up every 20 minutes. Students can also contact Schulz at
schul024@csusm.edu. In order
för students to sign up, tHfey freed
to include their name, phone
number and email address. Students can also sign up at www.
givelife.org but must they must
look up information under the

CSUSM's Pre-Health Society's
Drive.
Schulz said, "In order to
donate .blood, you must be at
least 17 years old, weigh 110
pounds and be in good health.
Also, if you have gotten a tattoo
in the past 12 months, you
can temporarily not donate."
Schtite a dded, r "Every two
seconds, someone in America needs blood. In Southern
California, donating blood
is so important because
only
three
percent
of
Southern California's population donates. The amount of
blood actually donated is one
pint. The adult body contains
10 to 12 pints. So by donating
you will be someone's hero- you
may give a newborn, a child, a
mother or a father, a brother, or
a sister another chance at life.
In fact, you may help save up to
three lives With jùst one donation."
For any f urther questions,
the Pre-Health Society will be
available at their sign up table
this week, Monday through
Thursday, during University
Hour.

students, faculty and staff
that the Luisefio people are
not gone. It sends a very
powerful message to local
Native youth that the u niversity values their culture
and their language and recognizes them as the indigenous people on whose land
the university sits."
The Courtyard Dedication Ceremony will include
a blessing by a Luisefio
elder, a message f rom ASI
president Roy Lee, and live
Luisefio music sung in the
native language. Biggs says,
"Some say these songs have
been around for 10,000
years." The day's eyents
will o ffer a unique oppor-
tunity for students to learn
more about the Luisefio culture
and to pay respect to those who
came before them.
Biggs said that she hopes to
get an informational plaque
placed in T\ikwut Courtyard
explaining the meaning of the
word so it is not again easily
forgotten. Another dream is to
get a mountain lion statue, but
that will depend on f unding and
private donations, and is not
something that will happen in
the immediate f uture.
Lee says, "Tukwut Courtyard is a step to acknowledge
and honor the Luiseno, but also
honor this educational institution, home of the Tukwutum,
home of the cougars, Cal State
University San Marcos. It is the
first permanent recognition of
Tukwut on this campus."

Sometimes, the SBRI will publish a report
for their clients. Other times, SBRTs clients
will create and publish a report based off
of the information they'll receive from the
SBRI.
Risley said, "Helping to improve the quality of life for someone is the work we do."
Risley will also miss what he described as,
"The puzzles of doing research." Learning
how and when to probe for answers from
survey participants is considered the main
challenge for new employees. But the puzzle
of research remains in how to sort through
and combine the information from the study
to create a thorough and coherent report for
SBRI's clients.
Research Assistant William Andersen and
Director of Operations Lori Brown Large
agree, along with Lab Supervisor Jennifer
Holmes agree that the closing of the SBRI
will immediately create a void. "I think it's
sad. Our work is to improve life for individuals and [SBRI's closing is] going to create a
gap between the university and community,"
said Holmes.
Currently, 65 employees work at the SBRI.
28 of the employees are CSUSM students. 10
of the employees make up a combination of
Palomar students and high school students.
In the past, the SBRI has employed up to 20
high school students at one time, making
SBRI the only work place for high school
students to work on the CSUSM campus.
The rest of the employees at SBRI said
they had the opportunity to watch the high
school students grow. Large said, "One year,
we got to see nine out of ten high school
students go off to four year universities."
Risley believed most of the high school stu-

Philip Klinger, a graduating senior and
Communication major said, "President
Haynes has been an excellent leader and
mentor to the students of San Marcos State
University. Her idea of a hard work ethic
for ultimate success on multiple levels has
brought new light to my own ambitions, forcing me to look at distant dreams and turning them into short term realities. If I could
say only one thing about Dr. Karen Haynes
it would be her love of education reflected on
the students of this campus that makes San
Marcos State such a powerhouse for academi-
cally elite knowledge."
CSUSM alum, Patrick B. Long, said, ' In

the matter of decision making and effective
planning, President Haynes has done a fairly

a passing review. In my mind, however, she
has to work on her involvement with students,
faculty, and staff on campus."

�Website of the Week
BY TIFFANIE HOANG
Pride Staff Writer
The new search engine, ChaCha, created by Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, aims
to provide the public with a uniquely
enhanced search tool, unlike any other
search engine before. In using what the
website is calling "the World's most powerful technology tool- the human brain,"
ChaCha's intent is to provide an improved
search experience by integrating what
their best computer-generated search
results are with the results that are handpicked by human guides. The searchengine continuously "learns" through the
aid of human intelligence and is therefore
constantly improving. If the basic search
is not satisfying particular requirements,
the website connects the user with a "live
human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messagingstyle search session"— all entirely free.
The website is named so, primarily because
the word "cha" means "search" in Chinese
and secondly because the Cha-Cha is a
popular Cuban-based dance with a particularly fast pace. ChaCha is a Beta-based
website, meaning that it is at a stage where
the software is technically complete with
advanced features and should be strong
enough to complete most ordinary uses.
Beta which is short for "Beta-test," also
stands for "p," the second letter ofthe Greek
alphabet coming after Alpha. Alpha tests
are usually not feature complete and are
commonly more unstable than Beta tests.
The website is beneficial to students in two
aspects. First, it allows for a personalized
search, where students are able to communicate one-on-one with an experienced guide.
Such accessibility paves an easier path to
acquiring the useful information needed
without having to sort through irrelevant
M PVI
P NI
Road to graduation
search results. The personalized searching also helps with detailed research in
which students must find scholarly sources
concerning specifically itemized subjects
which might otherwise be difficult to find.
Secondly, students that are experienced
enough to become a "ChaCha Guide," must
join the ChaCha Underground (an already
existing community for current ChaCha
guides) and be invited by a ChaCha guide
who is at the Master Level. According to
the website, ChaCha guides earn between
"$5-10 per search hour based on performance. With a computer and a broadband
Internet connection, Guides can work
whenever and wherever they choose."
This type of job is especially convenient
for students because of the flexible work
hours and being able to work from home.
Students who already have an existing
website and wish to draw in more traffic
can use ChaCha's Adagent service that
costs $25 to start up. The website states
that ChaCha Adagent is "a true cost per
click advertising medium that allows you to
optimize your reach by optimizing search.
This is a performance-based advertising
program that allows you to bid on your category so your ad is matched with your site
to achieve the highest click-through rates,"
as explained in ChaCha's informational
section. Students can choose which categories they want and the ChaCha Adagent makes sure that it is seen by the
people whom students wish to target.
ChaCha also has a blog to promote the
difference of their search engine. The
blog allows users to obtain information
about ChaCha that is not widely known,
updated news on the website, success
stories and comments by the creators of
ChaCha. If students wish to learn more
about the website or talk to a guide, go to
www.chacha.com.

What had I got myself into
this time? It was becoming clear
that someone in the jam-packed
car was not too sure of the exact
location of the base camp outside
of M'Hamid. We had been tossed
about in the car amidst the blackest Saharan night for the best part
of 20 minutes now and the Arabic
French verbal assaults were
becoming ever-more intense. Sla-
at approximately 11 p.m., I found
myself deposited safely at the
Berber style base camp.
As far as adventure goes, the
Sahara never fails to deliver. I
had chosen to visit this mysterious part of the world not only to
experience its beauty, but also to
discover its vastly different cultures, and to do this, I decided
to take some excursions with a
locally run tour company. This
particular trip started in Ooarzazarte - a small town $i£u$ted

to communicate his instructions

i nniyopinion, the real Sahar a experience requires a leap
out of your comfort zone and this
means adapting to an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar
customs; and if you have never
seen such a different land and
lifestyle, then I would encourage
such a trip even more. Although
it may seem cliché, camel riding
is a good place to start the experience, along with camping
in Berber style tents. There is
nothing like traversing the red
sands on a camel t o really feel
immersed in a different mindset,
and it is very easy to organize.
There are numerous companies,
both local and international, that
have superb deals for a complete
Saharan adventure, and most
of them will offer the same trip
that I experienced. All you need
to take with you is an open mind
- what you will bring back is a
new understanding of another
culture, yourself and immense
satisfaction.
�Spring is here and the
Records fall at CSUSM
Padres prepare for success women's golf tourney
BY JEREMY ALBERS
Pride Staff Writer
Get your peanuts, crackerjacks here!
It's the smell of the .grass, the crack of
the bat; baseball is on the way. Pitchers
and catchers reported to camp February
15 to open spring training 2007. Before
the Valentine's Day flowers have wilted,
baseball teams are gathéring in Arizona
and Florida to get loose for a grueling
162 game schedule. Spring training is a
time of hope for f ans of every team. Payroll aside, every organization starts out
even. And there is always a chance to
catch lightning in a bottle like the 2003
Florida Marlins, or last years Detroit
Tigers. There are questions and a bit of
drama going into the 2007 season
The Chicago Cubs, perennial chokers,
invested an extra $30 million in their
roster in an attempt to break a 98 year
championship drought. Last year they
lost 96 games and finished in last place
in the weakest division in baseball, the
NL Central. The Cardinals, eventual
World Series winners, won a paltry 83
games. That's five games less than any
other first place club. This off season
the Cubs front office concentrated on
some key pieces that could allow them
to win quickly. Alphonso Soriano was
signed to play centerfield for a measly
$136 million over eight years. It will be
a n experiment for the recently departed
2B. Last year there were mixed results
defensively as Soriano played leftfield
in Washington. The Cubs also added
fiery manager Lou Pinella. f amous,for
his attitude, track record, and pension
for f ace-offs with the umpire. Message
to National League umpires: bring your
sneeze guard unless you want Pinella's
spittle all over you. Will the Cubs break
the "Curse of the Billy G oat"?
The New York Yankees provide the
drama. As usual, the soap opera of the
Yankees organization started early this
year. The big money Yanks, who haven't
won a title since '00, were uncharacteristically quiet with acquisitions this off
season. Other than the losses of 43 yearold Randy Johnson and 38 year-old Gary
Sheffield, the Yankees didn't do much
other than get younger. Then starting
pitcher Mike Mussina questioned o ften
injured pitcher Carl Pavano's heart. The
best post season closer in baseball his-
tory Mariano Rivera, i s disgruntled with
his contract situation. Long time Yankee
hero Bernie Williams, denied a minor
league contract offer from t he,team.
Two-time MVP (and playoff goat the
last few years ) Alex Rodriguez and his
one time best buddy Derek Jeter aren't
going t o dinner and having sleepovers
any more. Why A-Rod felt like disclosing this to the public is a little odd but
it gives the Yankees continuity in one
area, turmoil.
Will Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home r un record? He is 22 behind
and barring injury it looks like a lock on
paper. Bonds hasn't hit less than 25 HR
in a f ull season since 1989. The swirling allegations of steroid use and looming p erjury charges have painted Bonds
as a villain; taking the home r un record

With poor conditions at the Lake San
Marcos Country Club, the women's golf
team had a battle on their hands. Senior
Jennell French set a new school record
by recording her third victory in individual scoring.
French and the rest of the women's
golf team had their struggles through the
course. With poor conditions on the golf
course, scores were higher than usual.
French finished with a +6 and managed
to stay ahead of the field of 67.
As a team, the Lady Cougars shot a
+48, finishing 5 shots behind the winning school, Embry-Riddle. Sophomore
Danielle Pierce, senior Christina Austin,
junior Cary Ludwig and junior Adriana
Bormann helped lead the team to 6th
place by finishing in the top-40.
The men's golf team took a one-stroke
lead in the first round and held off Point
Loma Nazarene to win the Cal State San
Marcos Invitational by one stroke. Junior
Matt Determan helped lead the fight by
tying UCLA's Lucas Lee for second place
in individual scoring. Determan shot five
under par in the final two rounds to finish
with a +4 at San Luis Rey Downs.
Following Determan was Junior Scott
Conway who shot a +8 and tied Concordia's Tomas Gutierrez for Th place. Competing in his first tournament this season,
Junior Markus Wendel made a 10th place
debut finishing with a +12.
Freshman Kevin Riley made a big impact
shooting a 74 in the final round to finish
tied for 15h place with fellow teammate,
Junior Brandon Scolman who finished the
tournament with back-to-back 75s.
The! men's team won their first tournament*!^ the season and will look to continue their strong play. The women's team
looks to recoup from the wet conditions
and take aim towards nationals. Both teams
now are preparing for the Point Loma Nazarene Tournament on March 4-6 at Steele
Canyon Country Club.

OPINION
'
Jock talk
with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
Since this is my last semester of college
it's easy to guess I'm sick of taking tests.
That's why I can sympathize with college football players who have to take the
Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine. The test isn't terribly hard if you're
an average college student. There lies the
problem, however, since football players
tend to spend more time in the weight
room than in the library.
The Wonderlic test consists of 50 questions in basic math and problem solving
that need to be answered in 12 minutes. A
score of 20 is considered to be an average
score and a score of 10 indicates literacy.
Frankly, I don't see how the Wonderlic
test is appropriate for measuring how
smart of an investment a player will be for
an NFL team. Just look at Vince Young,
who reportedly scored a six, and made the
pro bowl in his rookie season. That is why
I have devised my own test, which I call
the Sandovalic.
An etfkmple of a question on the Wonderlic test is: "Paper sells for 21 cents per
pad. What will four pads cost?"
I can understand how it might be difficult for an offensive tackle to figure out
the answer is 84 cents. That is why the
Sandovalic test tailors questions towards
situations that may occur for an NFL
player. In the Sandovalic test, however, a
player doesn't know that a correct answer
is a bad thing.
The Sandovalic version of that last question is: "One gram of weed sells for 20
dollars/What is 5 grams worth?" Answer:
An awesome high.
Wonderlic question: "A train travels 20
feet in 1/5 second. At the same speed, how
many feet will it travel in three seconds?"
The answer: 300 feet.
Sandovalic question: "Your limo takes
you from San Diego to Las Vegas in five
hours. Your private jet does it in 1/5 the
time. How long does it take your j et?" The
answer: Who cares? Life is pretty good
either way.
Wonderlic question: "A boy is 17 years
old and his sister is twice as old. When the
boy is 23 years old, what will be the age of
his sister?" The answer: 40.
Sandovalic question: "If you're 23 years
old when you get your third strike, how
old will you be when your sentence is
over?" Answer: Doesn't matter, I won't
get caught.
Wonderlic question: "What is the ninth
month of the year?" I don't think I should
have to tell anyone this answer but just
incase, it's September.
Sandovalic question: "If you make $8
million dollars per year, how much will
you be paid per month?" Answer: Enough
for a new car each month.
Wonderlic question: "Tom greeted Beth.
Beth greeted Dawn. Tom did not greet
Dawn. Assume the first two sentences are
true. Is the final one true, false or not certain?" Answer: Not certain.
Sandovalic question: "The linebacker
tried to beat up the cop, The cop shot the
linebacker. The linebacker was at fault.
Assume the first two sentences are true.
Is the final one true, false or not certain?"
The answer: Only Steve Foley and Aaron
Mansker.. .1 mean, only the linebacker and
cop will know and the j ury will decide.
If a player answers the Sandovalic
questions correctly it gives NFL teams a
better indication that a player is not a good
investment more so than the Wonderlic
questions.

BY KELLY CORRIQAN
Pride Staff Writer
',
> the exhibit. Leibovitz's decision to
combine the varying dynamics of
her life into pne book wa$ based
on her notion that her professional
life and personal life are not two
separate lives, but one life, innately
intertwined with all the characters
and events that make it up.. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum,
the exhibition reflects Liebovitz's
photographic life as a whole.
The first photograph, you'll
encounter is that of Wadi Rum,
Jordan - one of Annie Leibovitz's
most notable landscape photographs. Then there is the photograph of the poised Demi Moore,
pregnant with Scout Larue Willis.
This image, revolutionary in 1991,
boldly revealed what many wanted
to cover up.
Leibovitz's photographs are as
much about the human form as they
are about human loss, love, pain
and success. The energy of her subjects reach beyond the photographs
themselves. Leibovitz captures the
assertive expression of General
Schwarzkopf as she similarly did
Currently on display at the San
in the 1991 photograph of General
Diego Museum of Art is the exhiColin Powell, then Chairman of
bition, "Annie Leibovitz: A Phothe Joint Cheifs of Staff. Powell's
tographer's Life, 1990-2005." The

Leibovitz captures the nervous
with Susan Sontag, and her parenergy of playwright Tony Kushents' lives in Long Island are all
ner and the confidence of Robert

Photographer's Life: 1990 - 2005,"
with Mick Jagger's heavy gaze or
coincides with the exhibition.
Joan Didion's intrusive glare.
Excerpts from the book are placed
In Leibovitz's photograph of
next to several of the images in
Michael Moore at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds in 2004, Moore stands
with three of his staff members,
Bernardo Loyola, Kirsten Johnson and Gabriel Monts. Wearing
t-shirts and jeans, they're surrounded by technical equipment
stacked on the floor. Johnson and
Loyola are armed with cameras.
Monts supports a lighting fixture
with his arms. Moore stands with
both hands in his jacket pockets,
with that spark in his eye, insisting
he has something to say and that he
wants us to hear i t
In Leibovitz's photograph of
Oseola McCarty, a philanthropist
and washerwoman, McCarty's

she were inviting you to her. It's not

photographs, but you do experience t hefnr"
The family photographs, though
smaller in scale compared to the
others, portray Leibovitz's own
family In a beach scene, LeiboTop: "Susan at the house on Hedges Lane, Wainscott, Long Island,

with her grandson;further down

the wall, Leibovitz's brother feeds
his baby daughter a bottle beside
the pool as his father looks on. In
another photograph, Leibovitz captures a candid morning scene in
her parents' kitchen as her mother,
wearing a bathing suit, as she is in
most photos, prepares breakfast as
Leibovitz's father reads the morning paper.
I thought that these family photographs in the exhibit deserve
more space; at least for us to move
around in and become lost in our
own days spent with family in arbitrary conversation around the table,
beside the pool, or huddled around
a new baby.
Chi a wall adjacent to the young
actress Scarlet Johansson and
the talented Jaime Foxx, is Susan
Sontag, at peace in her coffin. The
photographs are arranged chronologically from 1990 through 2005
subtly noting the overlap of Leibovitz's own life markers and work
Fat Tire
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
New Belgium brews the whimsical Fat Tire
in Fort Collins, Colorado. Husband Jeff Lebesch and wife Kim Lebesch founded the company and chose to operate the company under
a creative employee-owner business model in
1991. The company functions in an open-book
manner and all employees have .complete
access to accounting information.
New Belgium practices many environmentally friendly concepts, with a continual
focus on reducing, reusing and recycling
the byproducts of brewing, and is committed to giving back to local communities.
For each barrel of brew sold, they donate
one dollar. Since 1991, they have donated
over two million dollars t o non-profit char- .
ities.
The success of New Belgium has led to
a great line of awesome brews including
Fat Tire. Fat Tire, an amber ale, was crer
ated after Lebesch toured Belgium on bicycle. He chose to name the brew Fat Tire in
memory of his trek. Lebesch visited breweries all over Belgium. When he arrived
home, Lebesch began working on Fat Tire
with the recipes he had created while on a
bicycle trip in Belgium.
The simplicity of the blue and red packaging of the ale contrasts with its comical name.
The beer has an alcohol by volume of 5.2 per-
cent. The bottles are shaped like a common
glass beer bottle; however, the company has
\ designed a glass necklace style neck for the
bottle, distinguishing it from those that are
I mass produced.
I
The ale gives a strong aroma of biscuits
I and has a bold sent that leaves the nosj i t rils wanting more answers that can only
K be solved by tasting. A quick gulp sends
*
a surge of flavor t o the t aste buds. The
taste buds search for more answers as
they hold an election and vote for Fat
Tire. Malts and hops comprise the ale.
A fter the complete disappearance of
the contents inside the bottle, the
mouth is glazed over with remnants of the ale.
The company's website suggests
the ale be consumed with salmon,
dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies,
omelets at midnight, sweet potato
French fries, and other grilled and
garlic items.
Not caring for fish or having
time to grill, I consumed the* ale
with a thick, cheesy slice of pizza.
The combo was perfect. So, next
time you hop on your bike, throw
on your Cougar hat, go to the nearest grocery store, and don't forget
to pick up a six pack of Fat Tire.

assignments.
What' is perhaps most interesting about the exhibit is that Leibovitz is successful in observing and
pulling something from beneath
the surface of so many people - yet
in the most intimate photographs
of Susan Sontag, whether she is
suffering in a hospital bed, or sitting in a couch staring intently into
the camera, we are still left without a solid grasp of who she was
underneath her serious, dissatisfied stare.
The success in this exhibit lies
within the presence of Leibovtz's
subjects whom she has made
immediate to us. When her subject
does not fully lend themselves to
her, at least she provides us wiih
a hint as to what they are thinking
and feeling. What we do not know
about the subjects in the photographs, we do not need to know,
because slightly, yet sufficiently,
we understand.
Drink of the Week
L<§tx)ÖD Drop
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Ah, the lemon - oh, infinitely u seful f ruit. Paired
with poppy seeds, cranberries, or simply sugar, the
precocious lemon lends its
zing to everything f rom
soups to pies, savory
entrees to sweet
treats. Lemon
drop cookies
are a particular
favorite of mine,
a doughy version of
the candy of the same
name.
Hard, round, o ften
lemon-shaped, and covered
with confectioner's sugar,
lemon drop candies are a
classic candy favorite. The
flavor is t art and bright;
making one's mouth water
and lips pucker.
This distinctive sensation
lends itself beautifully to
the Lemon Drop cocktail. Comprised of 1
1/2 ounce vodka (I
use Absolut Citron),
1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4
lemon, the Lemon Drop is a
delightfully refreshing little
gem. Slice the 1/4 lemon into
two wedges and toss them in a
cocktail shaker half-filled with
ice. Pour in the vodka, add the
sugar, shake and strain into a
cocktail glass rimmed with
sugar, and pucker up!

�Computer Assistants Make Library
Research A Breeze
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Now that the fall semester is well under
way, students will find deadlines for research
papers rapidly approaching. In a few weeks,
procrastinators will flood into the library fran
tically searching for useful information.
However, the stress of these last-minute
searches does not need to be as harried. With
planning and a little aid from the library,
students can make research work much easier.
This semester, the library has implemented
a new program which provides students with
computer assistants. These assistants circu
late among the library’s computer terminals
helping students. The aides can explain how
to maneuver through the numerous databases
and direct students to the proper database for
their subject. Carolyn Batisto, one of the
computer assistants, explained that most stu
dents have limited time for research and need
to get their information as quickly as they
can.
Assistant Holly Korotie said that many
students may feel hesitant toask for their help
wanting “to figure it out for themselves.” She
added that most students have a grasp on the
basics of the system, but that sometimes they
need help directing their search. Batisto said
that the Computer Assistants specifically look
for students who have generated large search
fields. When assistants see this situation,
they know they can help the student by nar
rowing down the subject. By introducing
the student to the use of Boolean strategies,
which combine key search terms, a smaller
and more precise search can be conducted.
The student can save valuable time and get
specifically requested information.
While most students are grateful for the
assistants’ aid, Batisto said the library can
provide additional service which can expe
dite research. Students can set up a private
appointment with a reference librarian to
work only on their research paper. A form
describing the topic, and its due date, is
submitted to the reference librarian who can
prepare to help the student. This personal
ized service can be especially helpful to
students with a difficult topic, or those un
familiar or uncomfortable with library re
search.
Research takes time, but planning can
make the process less painful. Choosing a
quieter library time makes the work easier.
Batisto said that the busiest library times are
noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, early
mornings, or after 8 PM. By avoiding these
hectic hours, students will find more avail
able computers and assistants. While many
students will continue to procrastinate, they
can at least be assured that when they do
begin their research, they can find help at
the library.

YOU NAME IT / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1993
— Issues--------------------------------------------Can We Save Our Beaches?
By Roy Latas
Staff Writer
Students who undergo the rigors of aca
demic life are constantly looking for inex
pensive ways to relax. Free activities usu
ally focus on the enjoyment of nature. A
walk through a park or trip to the beach
provide a break from suburban student life.
However, in our metropolitan area, a trip to
the beach may be hazardous to your health.
The beach closures we experienced dur
ing last year’srainy season are symptomatic
of a problem called non-point source pollu
tion. This problem stems from the small but
constant dripping of motor oil from cars, the
careless dropping of cigarette butts, pet fe
ces, and run-off of fertilizer and insecticides
from the fields of North County. These
pollutants collect in storm drains and dry
river beds awaiting the flush of the winter
rain that will wash this unhealthy mixture to
the beaches. The storm water receives no
treatment at our sewage plants, so the storm
water with its unknown composition of pol
lutants empties into local rivers and la
goons. It passes through the complex storm
water drainage system, eventually draining
into the ocean through pipes that usually sit
directly on the sand.
Controlling all forms of water pollution

was the intent of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
The CWA originated in 1972 with the intent
of making U.S. coastal and inland waters
“fishable and swimmable.” The main focus
of the Clean Water Act was to stop industrial
pollution, and to that end, there has been
The FDA Wants to Take Your
Vitamins Away
C A T k o lic Men,

By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) recently pro
posed a bill, S-784, The Dietary Supple
ment, Health, and Education Act to launch
a counterattack against the FDA’s proposed
regulations that would make high potency
vitamins and minerals available only
through prescription. Sen. Hatch stated the
goal of his bill was, "to make sure that our
system encourages all people to choose
what they want from life. And in order to
choose what they want from life there has to
be that essential respect for the individual
and for the individual’s freedom and inde
pendence to direct his or her own life."
"The FDA frankly believes that they
know best. They know what is good for
you. You can quit thinking for yourselves
substantial progress.
The CWA is currently undergoing re-au
thorization. Every five years, Congress must
evaluate the CWA, yet current conditions
which are the product of the CWA are not
very encouraging. The CWA represents the
only legislation that protects the water, and it
needs to be strengthened during the current
1993-94 congressional session.
Congressman Oberstar has sponsored a
bill (HR-2543) that will create a national plan
to identify non-point pollution sources and
make watershed districts like our Regional
Water Quality Control Board (Region 9),
develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the
impact of on-point source pollution. The bill
allows the pollution problems to be rectified
within a flexible framework allowing the
various parts of the country to respond to the
problems by a means best suited to the area.
Senators Max Baucus and John Chafee
head the the Environment and Public Works
Committee and will be responsible for writ
ing the new Clean Water Act. Norman Minetta
will be writing the House version. You can
show your support by writing to Congress
men Baucus, Chafee and Minetta as well as to
your own representatives, urging them to
support this bill. A short letter or postcard
with a picture of a beach you would like to
protect would send a strong message.
The bill is expected to be voted on in midNovember. The full Clean Water Act will not
be voted on until Spring.
now," said Hatch.
Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw (re
nowned scientists and authors of Life
Extensions who advanced the free radi
cal theory on aging) are also actively
opposing some 2,000pages of new regu
lations the FDA wants to impose on the
health food industry. These are due to go
into effect before year end.
The FDA’s motivation? One reason
given was found in one of their own
reports which states that FDA approval
of vitamins and nutritional supplements
would inhibit the development of pre
scription drugs. You can support Sen.
Hatch’s Bill by writing your Congress
men and Senators urging them to vote for
passage of S-784.

A look into the life of recent grad
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
It’s nine months before you
graduate. Never mind your midterms,
have you sent out your resumes and
filled up your rolodex yet?
Jim Kuhl, CSUSM Class of ’92 and
current Alumni President, sent out over
100 resumes prior to graduating with
an accounting degree. Kuhl began his
job search in 1991 by making contacts
and “getting to know people.”
Kuhl landed one of his top two job
choices just six months after gradua
tion. He is now a tax auditor with The
State Board of Equalization. Kuhl
attributes his success in this rough
marketplace to perserverance.
“I just kept pounding them,” Kuhl
said. He bombarded his new employer
with a dozen follow-up phone calls and
letters.
The most significant activity Kuhl
was involved in was the Accounting
Society. Meeting with community
members and networking with busi
nesses and firms gave him career focus.
“Once I found direction, my job search
was much easier,” said Kuhl.
The competition was tough. Tight
alumni groups like San Diego State
University graduates like to hire their
own. One employer candidly told a
CSUSM graduate, “we tend to hire
SDSU alumni, and I don’t see that
changing.”
Prospective employers tend to be
skeptical about our new univer
sity. “They just do not
know about our
programs,” Kuhl said.
Consequently, Kuhl’s
personal goal as
Alumni President is
to build public
interest in the
university by
organizing communityaimed events.
“Alumni are a natural bridge be
tween the community and the univer
sity,” said Kuhl. “Building community
interest is the most important thing.”
Not that Kuhl would mind generat
ing some financial support for CSUSM
as well. According to Kuhl, universi
ties nationwide obtain 83% of their
budgets from private donations. In
contrast, the California State University
system averages 13% of its budget
coming from private donations. Kuhl
would love to narrow the gap.
Long-term goals for Kuhl include
“keeping people involved with the
development of the university” and
establishing an alumni database so that
“20-30 years from now, we could tap
that resource.”
Today, the economy of California faces its most challenging
times since the Great Depression. This is particularly true in the
days preceding the seemingly inevitable NAFTA agreement. While
numerous variables have affected California’s ability to remain a
leading global competitor, one competitive advantage has always
remained constant: our educated work force.
The CSU system has been instrumental in providing higher
education. We graduate more college students than all other
California institutions of higher learning combined. For the past
several years, we’ve been doing more with less. To sustain any
further budget reductions would undoubtedly threaten our
most valuable competitive advantage.
On November 2,1993, voters will consider Proposi
tion 172, a proposal to make permanent an extra
cents sales tax that was imposed in conjunction with the
State Temporary Tax Increase of 1-1/4% which went
into effect on July 15,1991. This measure was intended
to balance the state budget and solve its temporary budget
crisis, with a 1/2% rollback to be effective July 1,1993. How
ever, the severity and length of the recession were unforeseen by
even the most pessimistic economists. Due to the prolonged reces
sions, Governor Wilson temporarily extended the measure through
the end of the calendar year.
The proceeds of this tax are to be devoted to local public
safety functions. This in turn will offer state policy makers an
opportunity to invest other state revenues in other high priority
areas, particularly higher education.
What difference can a
s
%
2
/
1ales tax increase make? San
Diego imposed its own 1/2% tax increase from January 1,1989,
through February 14,1992. In just over three years, it produced
nearly $400 million in revenue. Statewide, such a program could
generate in excess of $2 billion annually, or approximately 3.5% of
the entire annual State budget.
The CSU system is imperative to the competitive advantage
o f California, which is something all of us have a vested interest in.
This is not an issue impaired by special interest groups, but all who
value the future of our State.
With voter turnout anticipated to be low, your support is
crucial. Let’s all come together and vote YES on 172!

Creeks Get Opposition to Halloween Bash
By Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
At a university that promotes cultural
diversity, it still may be acceptable to
discriminate against the Greeks. Kappa Chi
Omega, Phi Delta Delta, Teke and Sigma
Phi Delta want to enhance school spirit by
hosting an open Halloween party on campus
in the Dome. Personality conflicts and
stereotypes within the InterClub Council
have tarnished the Greek’s chances for
approval.
The Greeks submitted a proposal to the
Director of Student activities in accordance
with the Interim Alcohol Regulations of
CSUSM pending final approval by the
President’s office. They were prepared to
meet the following criteria:
— To abide by University, federal and
state regulations regarding school alcohol
use and distribution.
—-To ensure the sale or distribution of
alcohol to individuals over 21 years of age.
— To provide a non-alcoholic beverage
alternative.
—To provide food to all in attendance at
the event.
— To accept responsibility for any and all
damages incurred during the activity and to
provide restitution for damages.
— To maintain behavior and activities
appropriate for a University setting.
— To provide personnel to clean up and
restore the facility to its original condition
immediately following the close of the event.
The Greeks are also prepared to fund the
event out of their own budgets. When in
formed that the InterClub Council (ICC) pro
vides supplementary funding for certain
events, the Greeks presented their party pro
posal at the March 9th ICC Meeting.
Shortly after their presentation, the ICC
motioned to deny support to any activity
where alcohol is served. A source within the
Greek organizations said that the ICC “ste
reotyped” the Halloween bash as a "wild beer
party with kegs on every comer.”
The ICC remains strangely silent on the
issue. Matthew McNamara, ICC President,
repeatedly refused to comment on the par
ticulars of the debate. When asked the ICC’s
stance on alcohol-related events he replied, “I
will not answer your questions.”
The Greeks returned to the Director of
Student Activities and met with a different
reception. It is rumored.that the President’s
office hesitated to give its approval to a func-

tion that was rejected by the ICC. Although
Bridget Bailey-Meiers, according to a Greek
source, remains supportive and helpful, new
provisions were added to the Interim Alcohol
Regulations.
The President’s office now claims that the
Dome is not conducive for dancing due to
hazards created when the lights are dimmed.
In addition, the Greeks must hire a school
provided set and disassemble crew, a school
approved carpet cleaner and security guards.

Interested in Politics? —This
By Elena Weissman
Contributing Writer
Rumor has it that the formation of a
political science organization is under
way. Guess what? It’s true. This
university has reached the stage where
students have a real need for a Political
Science Association (PSA).
At this moment, students are forming
a club to arouse an interest in politics
and campus affairs. We have the full
support of the faculty who are very
enthused about the establishment of this
club. Everyone has an opportunity to
become involved in the planning stages
of the PSA. We will structure this
organization so that it has a life which
lasts long after we have graduated from
CSUSM.
Don’t let the name of the club avert
your interest. It is definitely something
club
p W lT liS e S C O n tW V e rS y
that is open to ALL students. It is for
everyone who is interested in current
events. Your party affiliation, be it
Republican, Democrat; Libertarian or
Green, etc., is not relevant. A variety of
opinions will only make it more interesting.
If you ever wanted to participate in a
discussion about the current state of politics
or felt you would like to express an opinion
but did not feel that you were informed,
then this is the place for you. If your
ambition is to become politically active,
this could be your start.
We will network for job opportunities,
have political debates, learn about institu
tions of higher education, and instill a sense
of community involvement. We look
forward to sponsoring speakers, political
forums and other such activities. We could
impact this university by creating a
campus that will allow students to voice
their concerns and problems with campus
policies.
We aim to provide assistance in the
development of curriculum in the
Political Science Department. It has
been suggested that a student advisory
board to the department be established.
To keep up on the latest developments in
the department, membership in the
Political Science Association would be
invaluable.
The PSA could be the most dynamic
organization on campus, but we cannot
do this without the support of our
students. Get in on the ground floor by
contacting Elena Weissman at 754-1666,
or Barry Walker at (909) 698-6377.
their open Halloween party on campus.
They have resubmitted their proposal to the
President’s office highlighting the fact that
they’ve already secured a dance floor (to
protect the carpet) and are willing to work
with the lighting issue.
A source within the Greek organizations
said that there was a dance party in the
Dome last year. The source wonders if
hazards witnessed last year give credence
to the lighting issue. If so, the organizations
are willing to add new lights under a tarp
and provide extra lighting in the restrooms.
If necessary, the Greeks are prepared to
move the party outside, in the parking lot
under a tent. They will hire security guards
and purchase food, beverages, and alcohol
from the Aztec shops.
The Greeks are also prepared to file a
formal grievance if their party is not ap
proved.

�HOW TO HANDLE MID-SEMESTER ANXIETIES
By Claudine Scott
Staff Writer
Have you been brought down by
mid-semester miseries? Well, before
you become completely overwhelmed
by deadlines and due dates, consider
this: the fact that you’re attending this
university speaks highly of the kind of
person you are. Against all odds,
you’ve managed to remain in school
and are on a path toward a more
enriching life than the trail you’ve left
behind.
If your midterm grades did not meet
your expectations, you’re not alone.
We’re all in this together, so we need to
look to each other for support. Keep in
mind that even though it may carry a
substantial amount of weight, a mid
term is, by no means, a final grade.
There are still ways to rectify any
obstacles in the way of a satisfying
grade. Get phone numbers. That way,
if you should happen to miss a class
you will be able to get the notes you
need. Also, do the group thing.
You will find that studying in groups
is easier than studying alone. You will
be able to enhance social as well as
study skills. In the process, you may
start a network of acquaintances that
will provide mutually beneficial
contacts that may extend beyond your
college years.
Remember that professors look at the
overall efforts of each student through
out the semester. Steadily working in
manageable bits day-by-day requires
courage and tenacity. At times, your
hard work may not seem to be ac
knowledged. Indeed, genius often goes
unrecognized.
Make your efforts known. Take
advantage of your instuctors’ office
hours. Don’t remain one in a sea of
nameless faces in a classroom. Get to
know your instructor and make sure he
or she knows who you are and the
pains you are taking to make certain of
a positive outcome. They are there to
offer assistance if you are having
difficulties with their courses and they
appreciate feedback on their effective
ness. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
You’re paying good money to get your
education, so you may as well use all
resources that are available to you.
There is help, if you need it. While
you’re at it, you may want to check out
the Student Resource Center in room
5205 in the Administration Building.
They offer video and audio tapes, selfhelp materials and a directory, support
groups, study skill info, computer
assistance software, workshops,
program info, community referrals and
many other services.
The sacrifices and hardships that
you encounter now, will only make you
a stronger person. Perseverance will
pay off in whatever your endeavor after
graduation and beyond.

�Too Much Emphasis on Diversity?
^ q v e iin i^ n t w a s i i s
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Our university has dedicated itself to the cultiva
tion of diversity. Every group and individual is
represented at Cal State San Marcos, and the admin
istration is quick to recognize the importance of that
kind of inclusion. The faculty likewise dedicates a
great deal of coursework to issues of
multicultural-ism and appreciating
diversity, as our global awareness
requirements attest.
Many students feel that such
attention to these kinds of issues is
excessive and ultimately distracting
to their true educational goals. The
grousing is subtle but ever present.
Multiculturalism is the educational
trend of the day, but is the student
backlash growing?
The conservative furor over the
nationwide spectre of politically
correct speech codes on college
campuses has not found its way to pastoral
San Marcos. Neither, for the most part, has political
correctness itself. The best thing about the organiza
tional makeup of our school is that clubs promoting
ethnic diversity and party-driven sororities and
fraternities can exist side by side. No view is shut out
and all voices are given an opportunity to be heard.
But are these divergent voices sinking in? For all
the rhetoric about the value of a well-rounded, liberal
education, many college students check in for years
merely to do the necessary time that will help them
get a good job. Multiculturalism is an abstraction to
those who have no interest in
expanding their educational
horizons.
Fortunately, that is not the
usual case amongst the
CSUSM student body. With
an average student age of
29 and a collection of
only juniors and seniors,
we are lucky enough to be
amidst generally mature,
analytical classmates with
open minds: Furthermore, in
a demographically complex
and ever-shifting California,
multiculturalism is not an
administratively imposed intellectual
abstraction but rather a vital, everyday reality.
Tolerating and appreciating cultures other than your
own is the necessary end of education in this commu
nity. That is a reality we hope every student will
come to terms with during their stay.

Alternative Press Offers A Dose of Free Speech
By Mary Szterpakiewicz
Editor-in-Chief
I read my first issue of Plan 9 — that alternative
paper that no one sees, but everyone reads. Plan 9’s
ideology states it is against force and violence of
any sort for any reason. This philosophy is not new
nor radical. "Educate, don’t legislate." I’m all for
that. While Plan 9 is motivated for a number of
reasons, at least it has the right idea.
Ever wonder why major papers and networks
look alike and report the same stories? Some 1,800
newspapers nationwide are owned and controlled
by fewer than 20 conglomerates. San Diego's
Copley Newspapers, in addition to the San Diego
Union-Tribune, own and operate 9 dailies, 36 week
lies and 1 bi-weekly newspaper. The Hearst Corpo
ration owns 12 dailies, 5 weeklies and 14 maga
zines.
Alternative newspapers and media offer quite a
different view of what is painted on this morning’s
headlines or tonight’s evening news.
Waco, for example, was treated quite differently by
the alternative press. The official mainstream media
version painted the portrait of a maniacal cult. The
alternative media gave a story of FBI agents overly
eager to do what was right. Despite pleas from the
Waco compound to bring in the press, the request fell
on deaf ears. The Branch Davidians' First Amendment
rights to free speech and freedom of religion were
ignored. Mainstream media failed to go in and report
their side of the story and failed to interview survivors.
It took Lloyd Bensten several months after an exten
sive official investigation (more tax dollars well spent)
to find out the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire
arms (BATF) lied. The alternative press held this
view right from the beginning, while it failed to get
the attention of the major networks and mainstream
papers.
It is encouraging to see alternative newspapers,
many self-published like Plan 9, Espresso, the Lib
erty Bell, and the Coastal Post in Marin County, dare
to speak their mind. We find too little actual freedom
o f speech going on these days—like an animal on the
brink of extinction. The polished look of the major
media has effectively hypnotized millions of little
brains with its repeat message “be good little sheep.”
Alternative papers offer a dose of free speech, a
commodity which seems to be dwindling right be
fore our eyes.
�Why Yes on 174
Freedom to choose is one of our
nation’s founding principles. Choice in
education is no different. Neither the
California nor U.S. Constitutions state
that your child must attend a public (gov
ernment) school. Parents have the right
to send their child to a school of their
choosing, not the government’s choos
ing. Prop. 174 gives them that choice
without having to pay twice.
Public schools receive funding based
on attendance. Fewer bodies, less fund
ing. Prop. 174 would provide incentive
to make government schools more com
petitive with private schools, ultimately
benefitting the child. The voucher pro
gram in Milwaukee is a huge success
with more parental involvement, better
attendance and marked improvement in
the children’s performance, not to men
tion safer schools. A Cambridge Univer
sity study showed government schools
(K-12) spend approximately $6,000 per
student, twice the amount spent by pri
vate schools. Most of the money ends up
in the pockets of bureaucrats and politi
cians, not in your child’s classroom.
The savings to taxpapyers in the longrun is in excess of $7.6 billion by 2000.
The voucher system would slow down
demand to build more public schools.
California taxpayers cannot be burdened
with more taxes in an economy that is
already the worst in the nation.
In a university such as this, I am told
that appreciation of diversity is a goal. It
is strikingly odd that homogeneity of
education, not diversity of views, is what
proponents of Prop. 174 seek. Govern
ment schools create more government
sheep. Diversity of education would
guarantee that no one view would pre
vail.
Prop. 174, while not the perfect an
swer, since government strings are still
attached, is a step in the right direction.

United States has never taxed its way back
into prosperity. Already plagued by an
effective tax rate of 61% (income tax,
property tax, sales tax etc.), California
taxpayers should not be asked to pay
more. Instead, government should be
made more accountable and less wasteful.
Government should take a lesson from
private enterprise. In a bearish economy
such as this, the private sector is sizing
down, becoming more efficient. So too,
government efficiency and accountability
should be the priority, not raising taxes.
The most recent 1/2 cent sales tax was
unlawfully collected. The State conve
niently forgot to get the required number
of votes. Until three Libertarians took the
matter to court and won, the State had
collected some $300 million dollars of
taxpayer money illegally.

money—not a wise idea.

Prop. 172 wants to raise the sales tax

High taxes, over-regulation and an

corruption are to blame. Californians
cannot afford another tax. Every halfcent sales tax increase started as an
emergency. In time, politicians always
found excuses to make these temporary
"emergency" taxes a permanent fixture.
Taxes have never produced the

�Disenchanted Moviegoers Tend to Stay at Home
By Peter Gorwin
Critic-At-Large
Theater chains pull good movies in favor of running
poor movies. Such management decisions ultimately
alienate discerning patrons who choose to seek alternatives
at their local video stores. It would seem that the upper
echelon management of these big chains isn’t interested in
maintaining an audience of discerning viewers. They run
movies which have the strongest public appeal, a simple
case of supply and demand. If longer-running movies lack
any artistic merit, management will tell you that the public
has been to blame for not patronizing the better movies.
These big chains play games with their movies, similar to
the ratings games which T.V. broadcasting companies have
been playing with viewers for years.
Increasingly, the declining ambience of these theaters
has begun to alienate demanding viewers also. For
example, one might naively think exorbitant box office
prices would ensure a respite from invasive commercials,
but often viewers are bombarded with a cavalcade of local
advertisement which flash on the screen long before the
feature begins. Theater owners will tell you that they
barely can make ends meet, and that they need the added
revenue from these local advertisers to grease their wheels.
Demanding suburban viewers may hate the way the
size of their viewing screen has decreased with the
completion of each new theater complex. Some of these
viewers remember a time when they could escape their
weekly worries by watching a feature on a sweeping,
panoramic screen. In justifying the reduced size of their
theater screens, large theater chains point to the high cost
of real estate which has forced them to optimize their
space; smaller screens enable them to run their movies
simultaneously, increasing their revenue. Nonetheless,
smaller screens will prove to be a monumental blunder as
television resolution begins to eclipse the images seen on
theater screens: film buffs won’t want to go to watch a
small screen at a theater with poor ambience, when they
can rent a movie for their sharp screens at home.
The issue of ambience brings us to what may best be
described as the ignoramus problem, people who have
never learned the proper etiquette for watching a movie.
After nicely asking a talking ignoramus to be quiet with no
significant satisfaction, some viewers would like to be able
to find an usher to complain to, but there are usually none
to be found. The management’s apparent reluctance to
take a pro-active stance in this area again alienates the
discerning viewer. After all, a good movie deserves the
The 1Joy Luck Club"

—A Skillful Adaptation of Novel to Film
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Hollywood has discovered the literary
world anew. Recent film adaptations of
bestselling novels such as Jurassic Park,
The Firm and Damage have inspired pro
ducers and studio executives to head for
their local bookstores in search of a quick
buck. It is tempting to dismiss director
Wayne Wang’s Joy Luck Club as just
another example of the Hollywoodization
of popular fiction. The bestselling novel by
Amy Tan obviously created a strong base of
fans and the complex, interwoven tale of
Chinese mothers and daughters would be
easy to turn into a crowd-pleasing, formulaic
tear-jerker. Surprisingly, the filmakers have
for the most part resisted the temptation to
saccharize Tan’s rich book and have in turn
produced an honest, if a bit flawed, film.
The skill of Tan’s novel was in the for
mat—a loosely connected series of recollec
tions and memories by a circle of Chinese
same attention as a good book.
Even the sloppy projection of a movie may alienate
discerning viewers. At certain theaters, the person hired to
run the projector seems to have been carefully chosen for
his adeptness at throwing the projector out of focus or
focusing the film so that the image overlaps the screen by a
couple of feet. Patrons pay to see the entire frame, not part
of it. this also places the viewer in the bind of missing part
of the film while they run out to the lobby to complain to a
manager who also can never be found. Where do these
managers and ushers hide?
Personally, I look forward to the year 2020 when we
will be watching movies on theater screens the size of
postage stamps and paying forty dollars to get in. It will be
obligatory for the film to be projected slightly out of focus,
and there will be forty-five minutes of commercials before
the feature even begins. Everyone will engage in loud and
active conversation throughout the entire feature. Nobody
will care about watching the film anyway because every
movie that these big chains run will be just plain awful.
And by this time, all of the small theater owners who used
to take some pride in the movies they ran will have been
put out of business —- a sad day for the purists who used to
love going to the movies.
mothers and daughters. Each character's mys
tery and history is slowly peeled back through
the course of the narrative, ultimately reveal
ing a rich mosaic of loss and regret and beauty
and strength. The miscommunication and
generation gaps that plague the mother-daugh
ter relationships are slowly patched but never
truly resoved.
The novel’s structure is almost impossble
to translate to the screen, but Tan and coscreenwriter Ronald Bass make a valiant ef
fort. There is a heavy use of flashback and
voice-over narration and director Wang does
a skillful job of weaving in and out among the
various stories with little confusion. But film
is a fundamentally different medium than
literature, and the loose structure that Tan
employed so skillfully is not quite as power
ful here. The language of the book was a
significant part of it’s beauty, and despite
the extensive narration, that effect is lost in
film.
That said, the film is quite successful on
its own terms. The stories are told slowly
and with great respect for the audience.
Nothing is quick or easy, and the perfor
mances by the mostly unknown cast bring
out the sadness and beauty of the charac
ters. The heartbreaking and magical stories
are for the most part not played for easy
sentiment or quick tears. In that respect,
Tan and Wang have abandoned the easy,
sentimental route to box office success and
preserved the dignity and power of the
�Mose Allison
in Concert October 24
Mose Allison, the legendary Missis
sippi Delta blues singer, songwriter,
and pianist, will give two concerts on
the CSUSM campus as part of its Arts
and Lectures Series. Mose will per
form songs from his 20 albums which
span 50 years, including his Grammywinning album, Ever Since the World
Ended.
Mose John Allison, Jr. was bom in
1927 on the Mississippi Delta. He
received piano lessons as a small child,
but quit as soon as he discovered he
could play by ear. He played tmmpet in
marching and dance bands and started
making up his own songs.
In the early 1960s, as the Mose
Allison Trio began to get more work, he
found that writing his own songs was
essential both as a means of expression,
and as a practical matter of expanding
his repertoire. His music was inspired
by listening to old pop tunes, country
and western songs, and composers like
Bartok, Ives, Hindemith, and Ruggles.
The process of fusing these diverse
elements into a cohesive performance
continues today. Meanwhile, Mose re
corded more than 20 albums; performed
all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and
Australia and wrote about 100 songs.
Some of these songs were recorded by
The Who, The Clash, The Yardbirds,
Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and oth
ers. His album, Lessons in Living, was
nominated for a Grammy in 1983, and
Ever Since the World Ended won a
Grammy in 1989.
Concerts will be in Academic Hall,
Room 102 on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3 PM
and 5 PM. Admission will be $3 for
CSUSM students and $5 for general
admission. Tickets may be purchased
at the CSUSM bookstore, or by calling
the bookstore at 752-4730.

�Counterculture Class Examines Beats, Hippies & Punks
By Karin Foster
Staff Writer
Perhaps you’ve noticed that coffee
houses have become increasingly popular.
Many people are rediscovering these estab
lishments and filling them to capacity eve
nings and weekends. During the late 1950s
and early 1960s, coffeehouses were an im
portant element of the Beat Generation, a
counter-cultural movement that began dur
ing this era. The renewed interest in aspects
of counterculture has also been reflected
here at CSUSM. This fall, the history de
partment offered an unusual class studying
the counterculture movements of Beats,
Hippies, and Punks. This class examines the
radical counterculture movements that oc
curred in the United States following WWII.
Professor Jill Watts, who teaches His
tory 430C, created this class based on previ
ous students’ ideas and interests. While
teaching a general history course, she dis
covered that her students became veiy inter
ested in the small amounts of American
counterculture she included. Students
wanted to know more about these move
ments and what happened to them.
Watts developed the class to answer these
questions and fulfill CSUSM’s requirements
of race, class and gender. She acknowledged
that CSUSM encourages the development of
new classes that explore unanswered ques
tions. While other campuses may offer classes
that examine Beats and Hippies, this class is
unique because it links the Punk movement
with the two earlier groups and establishes
the connection between all three.
American counterculture emerged after
WWII as America marched into the Cold
War under the cloud of McCarthyism. The
chilling prospects of a devastating nuclear
war seemed imminent. However, a rebellion
against these conditions began to develop in
the 1950s led by writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack
Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Known as
the Beat Generation, these writers confronted
the conformist and militaristic attitude they
perceived dominated American society.
As popular culture began to develop an
interest in the Beat Generation, or what they
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
The burgeoning coffeehouse culture has left
hardly a street comer untouched. Previously bland
and conservative communities have been invaded
by pseudo avant-garde, cutting edge caffeine
shelters for disaffected middle-class teenagers who
need a place to sulk and show off their flannels and
tattoos. In the face of a Java invasion that can
leave one swearing off cappuccino forever, the Hill
Street Coffeehouse stands out as an espresso
oasis.
Positioned unassumingly in the middle of
Oceanside’s notorious Hill Street, the yellow
termed “beatniks,” the counterculture move
ment spun into a new form of rebellion. The
Hippies emerged in the 1960s operating with
a different style, but still rejecting main
stream American society. Watts claims that
the rebellion apparent in the Beats and Hip
pies was also apparent in the Punk movement
of the early 1980s.
Like many previous students, CSUSM stu
dents find Watts’ class on counterculture
interesting.
Kathleen Rohan, one of her students, said,
“This class interested me because I never
knew anything about those groups.” Many
students remember the stereotypical beatnik
portrayed by Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie
Gillis.” This image contrasts sharply with the
individuals studied in Watts’ class. Rohan
observed, “In thattime period,Ididn’trealize
there were people out there confronting is
sues so harshly.”
Professor Watts says that while the study
of counterculture provides important insight
into post WWH American society, it also is
quite relevant to contemporary society. Watts
Victorian style house at first seems out of place.
Once inside the coffeehouse gates, however, it’s like
a different world. It may seem a contradiction, then,
that anybody would choose to open up a cafe appeal
ing to customers seeking conversation and relaxation
in such an area. Hill Street has long been associated
with prostitution and crime, and the city’s recent
redevelopment efforts have had little success in
changing that image.
In a strange way, though, it all works. The coffee
house provides a kind of escape for anyone looking
f ora break away from the grunge and grime of the
world outside, and in turn the peacefulness of the
environment inside makes one look at Hill Street in a
different light. It certainly is the last place anybody
would expect to find a haven for culture, and in many
ways that surprise is what gives this coffeehouse its
charm.
There is an engaging, literate feel to the coffee
shop that is conducive to both intelligent discussion
and quiet studying. The academic environment is
said, “We are coming off the 1980s, a time
of materialism and conformity.” The 1990s
are proving to be quite different. Watts
added that the new generation faces job
scarcity and limited mobility. These condi
tions have led to the disenchantment of
many American youths. Rohan echoed this
feeling. “People are looking and question
ing the government and society’s values.
They’re wondering if we’re doing the right
thing.”
Counterculture can be disturbing; it op
poses conventional society. However, the
renewed interest in these movements may
reveal a type of admiration. As Rohan
stated, “I kind of envy the beats, hippies and
punks, and the way they could go to the
extreme.” The members involved in coun
terculture were not afraid to speak out against
the accepted system. The courage to freely
express oneself earns some measure of re

duringthe daytime hours when t
establishment is less populated. Weekend nights
tend to bring an invasion of high school kids and
other such cretins looking fora cool place to hang

flavoring and white hot chocolate is the hottest
ticket on the menu. New Zealand Sunnyslopes tea
is also recommended.
Musicians often perform weekends on the
pleasant back patio and the works of local artists
decorate the walls. It is especially pleasing to see
this kind of dedication to the local art scene in the
face of the increasing commercialization of the
coffeehouse Zeitgeist. Mike and Ross, the owners
of the coffeehouse, are obviously not in this busi

are genuinely friendly people who care about the
state of their community and have provided that
community with a welcome boost.
