Since 1991, Associate Student Inc.
(ASI) has been the
voice for the students, and that
mission continues this week
as twenty-two

the ASI Board of .
Directors.
On Monday, March
12, the ASI election

tors works together as a
team to represent the best
interest of the students; there
are individual positions that
concentrate on each student
need.
"As ASI représentatives,
these students sit in commit-
tees that shape our future as
students. These committees
can affect anything from
how many hours a unit
is to what majors we
have or what [a
campus] building
wül look like,"

Since January 2012, gas
prices, in California have
gone up 61 cents per gallon,
causing a major economical
problem for San Diegans.
There was a 37-day streak
of daily gas price increases
that ended Friday, March 2.
These, mega increases drastically made an impact on
the economy and student allowances for other -material/
non-material expenses and
necessities.
"It puts a limit on where
you can go. It's just school
and work, and that's it," student Rose Jauregui said.
San Diegans are paying ap-
per gallon than the average
person in the United States
as of Feb. 26, 2012, according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices. In one
week, the gas prices in San
Diego jumped from $4.07
to $4.32—the highest of
the season. As of Tuesday,
March 6, the average price
of gas in San Diego is $4.36
and at the current moment is
considered to be falling, the
survey reported.
"It sucks a lot. I think it
definitely affects the students who are already poor
as it is," student Christa Van
Voorhees said.

Jeremy Lin is one of basketball's most surreal stories
in recent memory. After going undrafted following his
college career, the Golden

NBA's developmental league

Dallas Willard speaks about knowledge, authority
JESSIE G AHBREL L
S TAF F W RITE R
USC professor Dallas Willard spoke to students, staff
and faculty about his philosophical views on Thursday,
March 8.
Once everyone was seated,
the event's emcee, Timothy
Mosteller, addressed the audience about Willard's history. He went on to share about
how the two first met; Mosteller was a student of Willard's at USC back in 1989
where Willard has taught
since 1965.
Willard has also written
many books and articles and
has been involved in many
boards, committees and organizations, including the
C.S. Lewis Foundation, Biola University and the Western Association of Schools .
During the lecture, Willard
spoke of many of his philosophical views including the
human quest f o r adequate,
life-basing knowledge, acting without sufficient knowledge and the concept of authority.
"Good authority is authority you can question and
test," Willard said.
Regarding good authority,
he used the example of times
tables; everyone knows their
multiplication tables. but he

wondered if we know how
we got them. He concluded
that we don't question it, we
just take it as is.
He then spoke about faith
and knowledge.
"Knowledge is always
objective. Knowledge is always political in its effects.
You believe something when
you are ready to act [in appropriate circumstances] as
if it were so. You always live
up to your faith, but you do
not always live up to your
profession," Willard said.
Willard then took the lecture in a different direction, speaking on the lighter
subject of spring break. He
shared that ever since he
started at USC, spring break
was called Easter break.
" I am all for celebrating
spring, but something" has
gone wrong in our society
to deny that Easter is about
someone who died and came
back to life. We need to return to thinking about the basis of life," Willard said.

CSUSM flagpoles perhaps

J ESSI E G AMBREL L
S TAF F W R I T E R
In the center of Craven
Circle stands three flagpoles,
one holding the CSUSM flag,
another holding the California flag and the middle one
holding the American flag.
This is all good and proper,
but when it comes to the
American flag, it is standard
protocol that our country's
flag should be higher than
any other flag next to it, unless there is a line-up of flags
from other countries, according to the U.S. Marine Corps
Flag Manual.
As the daughter of a 30year U.S. Marine, I felt compelled to see that our American flag is not disrespected,
especially at our school. So,
I called up Lieutenant Douglass Miller at the Campus
Police, and he explained everything to me, being a U.S.
Marine in the Color Guard
before serving at our school.
He explained to me that according to his U.S. Marine
Corps Color Guard guide*
"No other flag or pennant
should be placed above or, if
on the same level, to the right
of the nationalflag**.~
With that being said, the
flag poles in Craven Circle
are not, per say, breaking any
rules, but it is still "pushing
the limits" with disrespect
toward our flag.
As a precaution, the Campus Police always make sure
to bring the American flag
all the way to the top and the

Just recently, I found out
that the mother of a girl I
know died in a car accident.
While the event in itself is
devastating, I found something in the mother's back
story to be even more shocking: she was a cancer survivor.
%
After hearing about her
death, I began to think about
other people who have suffered similar fates—not
necessarily cancer survivors
who die in car accidents, but
people who essentially survive something life threatening only to die in unexpected
circumstances.
Thè first example that occurred to me was U.S. Marine Anthony Vargas who
was stabbed and killed at a
house party in the San Bernardino area in 2009. The incident was reported to have
taken place just days before.
his secpnd tour of duty in
Afghanistan. He survived
one tour only to bg killed in a
home-setting where soldiers
shouldn't have to worry for
their lives.
Another example that came
to mind was the death of
Ryan Dunn, star of the MTV
television series and movie
series "Jackass." Dunn spent
so much of his time on the
show taking part in reckless
stunts that ranged from seatchanging while speeding to
chugging an entire bottle of
tequila. It came as a surprise
when news broke about his
death in a car accident in
2011.
If you search "ironic
deaths" online, you \yill be
shown many lists that feature
these types of deaths. Some
ironic deaths mentioned are
actually quite humorous because of how outrageous
they are. However, there is
-a painful reality behind the

the first time in five years
Master Chief has starred a
game. While not much of the
plot has been revealed, the
game's online trailers suggest a darker mood than the
previous installments.
"Kid Icarus; Uprising" is
the first major release for
Nintendo's 3DS system of
2012 which will be arriving in stores on March 23.
Steeped in Greek mythology,
the game follows a young
hero named Pit as he traverses the skies to battle Medusa. This will be the newest "Kid Icarus" game in 20
years, and I ' m hoping it lives
up to the fame of the original games. The game has two
modes: aerial combat and
ground combat. Pit will be
able to upgrade his weapons
and gain new ones throughout his harrowing journey.
Though it is still very early
in the year, gamers have the
Electronic
Entertainment
Expo to look forward to in
June. You can be sure to hear
a lot of new information on
the year's hottest games.

One of the biggest games
oOne of the biggest games
of the year, "Mass Effect
3," was released earlier this
month. While this game
was released quite early in
2012, this year has some
very promising games yet to
come.
The "Assassin's Creed"
series has recently been lacking in terms of originality.
The past three games have
featured the same main character, Ezio, and it's about
time we heard about the next
game in the series, "Assassin's Creed III." This new
game will take place in the
bloody days of the American Revolution. Players will
control a half-Native American named Connor as they
battle their way through the
snowy frontier of New England .The new, uniquesetUng
is a welcome change from
the seemingly overdone cityscapes of Italy .
The first-person shooter
"BioShock: Infinite" is also
due out toward the end of
this year. The latest installment takes place in the dangerous city of Columbia
located high in the sky. The
new location is bright and
vivid as opposed to the dingy
Rapture where the previous
two games took place. "BioShock: Infinite" features a
new device called the skyhook which allows players
to quickly zip line from platform to platform. The game
promises plenty of strange
and exciting secrets much
like the series' previous entries.
Master Chief will be returning this year for more
explosive. action in "Halo
4." The Xbox 360 exclusive
has changed development
teams from Bungie to 343
Industries. Whether or not
that is a good thing remains
three'mentioned here.
Far too often, you will hear
about soldiers who die while
on leave, whether in a car
accident or by murder. And
thankfully, cancer survivors
often live long enough to
tell their story. But there's a
real tragedy taking place in
all these instances, as well
as many others that can tie
into the similarity in the irony. Perhaps the devastation
comes from the unexpected
shock of the outcome of
these events—the surprise,
essentially.
While it is quite literal for
the soldiers who share this
fate, these individuals are
all fighting one war and then
dying in a completely unexpected one. Hie environment
of the illusory war where
they- experience their tragic
fate doesn't resemble their
real war whatsoever, leading
to an untimely and startling
outcome.

Tatum and Hill: comedic dream team
STAFF WRITER
"21 Jump Street" starring
Channing Tatum and Jonah
Hill, is a remake based off
the 1980s television series
of the same title. The plot
for both the show and movie
is young cops going undercover as high school students to solve a crime.
But that is where the similarities end. While the 4 80s
show is classic, each episode taught the audience a
lesson. The movie is a modern, comedic take on what
would happen if two young
cops went undercover at a
high school.
After, Jenko (Tatum) and
Schmidt (Hill) successfully

The good thing about "21
Jump Street" is it's not really a remake. It's not as
predictable as other comedies. There is still the raunchiness, but some of the
comedy is slapstick as well.
The audience laughed from
the start of the movie to the
very end. "21 Jump Street"
is the perfect mix of comedy
and action.

If the latest live-action
Disney release, "John Cart"TrT bombs ai the trox office,
the only reason responsible
will be the terrible marketing for the movie.
Trailers for the film have
advertised it to look like
another "Prince of Persia"
installment mixed with the
arena scenes from "Star
Wars Episode II: Attack of
the Clones " (If it weren't
for the alien creatures featured, "Gladiator" would've
been a much more suitable
comparison).
However, the one arena
scene in "John Carter" lasts
only about five minutes and
is featured about two-thirds
of the way through the
movie. What remains is far
greater than marketing has
led audiences to believe.
Based on what is considered the first science-fiction
novel, "A Princess of Mars"
by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
tells the story of Civil War
veteran John Carter through
a journal following his
death. The journal being
read by his nepftew; E<3giar
Rice Burroughs, who has
just inherited Carter's entire
estate, contains a documentation of the last thirteen
years, in which Carter was
transported to Mars where
he took part in a civil war
taking place on the neighbor
planet.
The acting isn't great* but
the story is fascinating as it
deals with parallelism between civilizations. While
many might compare the
plot to those of such films
as "Avatar," "Dances with
Wolves" and "The Last
Samurai," it is merely timing that accounts for this, as
Burroughs wrote the original story in 1912.
There are a lot of comedic
moments, which balance
nicely with the epic sci-fi atmosphere of the film. Most
notable is the miscommuni-

CSUSM theater students
present: Spring Awakening
\ rock musical exploring teenagers tumultuous sexuality
B RANDO N T ORRE S
S TAF F W R I T E R
The CSUSM Visual and
Performing Arts department
is presenting a seven-night
production of "Spring Awakening."
This controversial play
was initially banned in several countries throughout the
world in the early 1900s due
to its blunt portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape,
child abuse, suicide, masturbation and sadomasochism.
When shown in New York
in 1917, public outcry forced
production of the play to shut
down due to charges of obscenity;
"My character...is a philosopher. He's constantly
questioning society. Religion
is what he's mainly questioning. Religion was so influ-
ential in society at the time.
He's always pursuing knowledge," said Christopher Murphy, CSUSM senior playing
the lead role of Melchior.
Throughout the play, the
audience follows four teenagers and their sexual realizations while trying to
navigate through our . sexsaturated culture. The play
maintains a comedic tone
and employs alternative rock
as part of its musical score.
''This play is still relevant
tod.ay because teen sexuality
is still taboo. The play raises
questions on teenage life,
not just sexuality. The playwright [Frank Wedekind]
thought adults Were moronic .
All adults are illogical, and
their names indicate that,"
Murphy said.
" I' m most excited about
exploring the different as-
pects of sexuality. There's
heterosexual sex, queer sex,
masturbation, dealing with
abortion and there's even
S&M. Experiencing how the
audiences react is something
I ' m most excited about
The sex scene, while short,
is very intimate. This play
deals with sex in a very real
way, and is impactful," Murphy said.
Tickets are $10 for general
admission, or $5 for students
with ID. Tickets are available at the door. Performances
begin Wednesday, April 4 at
7 p.m. and continue throughout the weekend. The performances will take place at the
Arts Building, Room 111.
Please note: The sexual
content in this play may not
be appropriate for children
12 and under.

On April 25, CSUSM's
Pre-Dental Society and Invisible Children will present
à screening of Kony 2012
to spread awareness of Joseph Kony and his malicious
army of the LRA (Lord's
Resistance Army) that have
been abducting children for
his own tactic reasons for the
past 26 years.
This year, Jason Russell
and the Invisible Children
Foundation have taken their
voices in spreading thè word
of Kony and their mission:
to arrest him for the countless injustices he's caused
in Uganda. With creativity
and perseverance, the Invisible Children Foundation
has fought to bring justice
to Uganda in a way that culture and society intertwine,
through media. Through Facebook, a social networking
site that currently has around
500 million active members, Invisible Children is
spreading the word of Kony
by sharing and forwarding
the message, generated and
narrated by Russell with occasional help from his son,
Gavin. The mission revolves
around the idea that to stop
Kony, people must know
who he is and understand his
brutal actions.
On April 20, the Invisible
Children Foundation plans
to "Cover the Night" in cities
all over the country to spread
awareness of Kony to stop
his 26-year-rule of abducting
around 30,000 children and
forcing the boys to kill their
parents and join his army of
the LRA (that has occasionally promoted peace) and the
girls to be sex slaves.

becoming a member to support Invisible Children or
