returning to CSU are displaced workers
moving to another career.
People with degrees are t h e "best
equipped to make the change to a new
profession," h e said. "These students will
be penalized by 'double dipping' tuition."
The increase comes on the heels of a
$50 per unit increase already in place at
California Community Colleges. Officials
at Palomar College reported a 53 percent
drop in the number of college graduates
enrolled this spring.
College graduates have become the latest target for fee hikes at California State
Universities with an increase that could
shoot as high as $4,500.
Beginning this fall, graduates who have
a bachelor's degree will be required to pay
a "differential fee," $150 more per unit
than non-graduates. The fee would be
added to CSU's standard $1,300 annual
fee.
T h e additional fee is detrimental t o .

Stacy added that many of the students teachers and nurses. This adds to the
impact forecasted by a report called "Economic Impact of the CSU on the California
Economy," written by Robert Girling of
Sonoma State University, Sherry Keith of
San Francisco State University and George
Goldman at the University of California,
Berkeley.
The report suggests that budget cuts
will result in a 7 percent to 12 percent
decrease in thé number of degrees granted
each year by t h e 20 CSU campuses for the
next nine years. Teaching is likely to
suffer because CSU trains nearly 75 percent of California's public school teachers,
the report said.
Stacy closes campus after power outage
ROMAN S. K E /EDITOR-1N-CHIEF
O NIG
Cal State University San Marcos President Dr. Bill Stacy shut down the campus
Feb. 18 after yet another major storm
pummeled the county, leaving the campus
without power.
According to Stacy, San Diego Gas &
Electric crews were called to the area after
a power outage along Barham Drive cut
electricity to the university.
Stacy said that despite the inconvenience of the outage, it gave the university
the opportunity to test its back-up electricity generator.
"We have an emergency generator and
back-up power on campus, and it was t h e
first time we had occasion to turn it o n —
and it failed," said Stacy.
Stacy said h e was told that power would
not be restored forfiveor six hours after
SDG&E crews made it to the scene, so h e
cancelled classes for the day since many
rooms without windows and rooms with
computers could not be used. He said that
in hindsight, however, this was a mistake.
He said "the president's inexperience
with the power going off in California" led
to thedecisiontoclosethecampus, "which
was a big mistake to do."
Stacy explained that power was restored
considerably earlier than the original time
estimate, and late afternoon and evening
classes could have been held.
He said that one professor who was at a
conference during die day in Los Angeles
rushed back down in driving rain to meet
her class only to find the campus closed.
"They told u s it would be two to three

hours before they could examine theproblem, and another five or six hours to repair. Well, they were able to repair itwithin
two hours," said Stacy.
T h e president said that although closing the campus may not have been the
best idea, it was necessary for safety since
it was impossible to work in the darkened
conditions.
Stacy also indicated thattheeventcalled
attention to having a ôet plan for similar
situations in the future.
"Now looking at it, I'm sorry we didn't
have a system to coordinate (closing) and
opening (the campus)," h e said.
Major rains also caused flooding last
Friday on the first floor of Craven Hall,
leaving approximately two inches of water
in some offices and in t h e Student Health
Services center, an official with the center
said.
Workers at t h e scene cleaning up the
flooded offices refused comment on the
situation, and officials with the Facilities
department could not be reached for
comment as to t h e flood's cause.

WASC accreditation team coming to campus
T h e campus community is asked to mark its calendars for
t h e upcoming accreditation visit by a review board which will
determine if Cal State San Marcos will be an accredited university,
said Diane (Johnson) Martin, assistant vice president for
academic affairs.
The accreditation site visit by the Western Association of
Schools and Colleges (WASC) will take place March 23-26, she
said.
Students are encouraged to take part in the accreditation
process by reviewing CSUSM's self-study, a document outlining
the university's goals for its accreditation, said Martin. Copies
of the document are available in the Associated Students office
or on reserve in the library, she said.
"The purpose of accreditation is that (it) establishes
standards for universities... to further educational excellence,"
said Martin. aAnd then what happens is that each institution is
responsible for defining its own characteristics for excellence."
The university is then reviewed to see if it is meeting those
goals. Accreditation is then decided by the visiting committee
from WASC.
She said students are also involved in the process, as the
WASC officials interview members of the campus community
to help determine their decision. According to Martin,
interviewers will talk with a representative sample of the campus
(i.e. students, staff, administration and faculty) and ask questions
related to the self-study.
The WASC officials then write up their report determining
if the university is worthy of accreditation. Martin said that by
reading and understanding the university's self-study, students
can help meet the goals presented in the document.
Additional information can be obtained by calling Martin at
752-4052 or Nancy Curry at 752-4129, Martin said.
Associated Students elections announced
Elections for Associated Student Council positions for the
1993-94 academic year will be held the last week of April, it was
announced last week.
Exact dates and times of the elections will be announced
later.
Students interested in running for open council seats or
serving on the elections committee can stop by the A.S. office,
room 205 in the Commons Building, for candidacy applications
and information.

three more years at Cal State San

Although intramural sports
will continue to grow over the
next few years, funding for an
inter-collegiate athletics program
will not be reconsidered until
1997, the same year it was scheduled to come on-line. Fundingfor
the program has been placed on

cording to PresidentDr. Bill Stacy
has been targeted for completion
by 1998.
T h e first effort is to get the
facilities on campus," he said.
"The second concern is inter-collegiate sports and that will require private fundraising."
The college will look to private
sources to help fund the program
and to develop playing fields,
which in the initial stages would
be used for intramural sports. The
state will foot the bill for the land
for thefields,however Stacy said.
this is where the state's commitment stops.
In the meantime, faculty teams
will concentrate on defining the
curriculum for Physical Education majors. Planning is still in
the early stages, but when the
P.E. department comes on-line it
will be on the cutting edge of 21st
century technology, says Dr. Richard Millman, vice president of
academic affairs.
T her e are two ways to build a
P.E. department," h e said. T her e
will be no activity to train coaches
or to teach someone to play volleyball." Instead, CSUSM will
offer a "scientifically based physical education."
That scientific base will include
requiring students to become
knowledgeable in biology, chemistry, anatomy and the science of
motion. In addition to housing
classrooms for a wide range of
majors and a computer lab, the
P.E. building will also be a center
for fitness and recreation, Stacy
said.

Additions on the way for café and store

STUDENT WRITER
As a new school, California
State University, San Marcos can
expect many changes to come.
One in particular is the addition
of a wide variety of healthful
drinks, s nack s and meals t o
choose from in t h e Dome Café.
Currently, students can find
food either at the café, which offers mini Pizza Hut pizzas or salad,
or at the University Store, which
sells items like cold sandwiches
and chips. The café also closes at
2 p.m„ leaving only the University Store open for food.

free speech as the military recruiters do in looking for new
members.
"We looked at that issue early
on," said Punch. "What we (including Zomalt) looked at was
discrimination against homosexuals and as (the military, FBI,
etc.) are government agencies as
we are a government agency, we
cannot prohibit their freedom of
speech" justthe same as students
can exhibit theirs in their interes t
Punch said that since President Clinton h a s made some
changes in terms of recruitment
practices concerning the issue,
the situation has been helped as
well.
Meeker, who manages the University Store (both are part of
Aztec Shops), say they are aware
of the problems facing students
when it comes to food on campus:first,the lack of variety and /
or healthfulfoodsatboth thecafé
and bookstore, and secondly, the
fact that the café closes at 2 p.m.,
leaving afternoon and evening
students with insufficient food
availability.
T ogether , M arten s and
Meeker are planning to offer a
greater variety of foods to better
fit the needs of morning, afternoon and evening students.
Until the student population
increases and the café can afford
a larger workforce, it will con-
tinue to close a t 2 p.m., according
to Martens. Instead, she plans to
improve the variety of food offered in the Dome Café. Plans
include the opening of a taco bar
offering tacos sold by the ounce,
a pasta bar and perhaps a french
toast and p ancak e b reakfas t
available between 8 a m . and 10
a.m.
For the health-minded, products by Naked Food will be offered.These include Naked Juice
fruit and vegetable concoctions
a s well as a variety of Nutrimental
fruit and vegetable salads. In addition to the snacks already offered at the café, Martens said
She also said that Scottwanted
to interrupt the actual fair going
on in the Dome, but was asked to
p rotes t outside t h e building,
which he did.
"I understand Donald Scott's
position," she said. "And while he
h a s t h e r igh t to f reedo m of
speech, so do the employers."
D espit e t h e c ontroversy ,
Punch said that the inaugural
career fair was a success.
"The employer reactions were
extremely favorable," she said,
adding that the employers in attendance were given evaluation,
forms that showed the enthusiastic response. Punch also added
thatstudentevaluations were also
very favorable.
She said t ha t e mployer s
pointed outthataccommodations
for them were excellent and that
the caliber of students was very
high.
Student evaluations showed
t ha t t hey , too, w er e overall
pleased but would have liked
more recruiters, she said.
According to Punch, some
employers who planned to attend
the fair pulled out at t h e last
minute because of hiring freezes
andfinancial constraints. Shealso
said three applicationswere made
with the Peace Corps during the
event
With the success of this first
fair, Punch said she is now looking to next fall's career fair. She
said the morning segment will
consist of recruiters from businesses and the afternoon fair will
focus on graduate schools.
"If we. have a good response
from recruiters now, it will build
a foundations for future fairs,"
she said.

Respect freedom
of choice, voice
Freedom of speech and choice at a
university campus is of paramount importance, as it apparently is at Cal State San
Marcos.
There was no greater example of that
recently than during the Inaugural Career
Fair, where student Donald Scott let it be
Oar
w
known his views about lifting the ban on
gays in the military.
Although Pioneer a gree s with this
stand, it is also equally important for others to express the'opposite view, as was
shown by the presence of military recruiters during the career fair.
Career Center Director Sandy Punch
and other university officials made the
right decision in letting the recruiters on
campus for this reason.
No matter how one looks at it, the lifting
of the ban is imminent, and no matter how
thin you slice it, gays are in the military
already — they always have been.
Until the day comes when the ban is
lifted, however, it is important to show
tolerance towards the military's current
position, and to allow other students the
freedom to chose a military career.

If there is one thing a journalist can't
stand ifs being dictated to over what is or
is not a story.
One recent event on campus drove that
home for me. These last two months are
fast going down in San Diego history as
some of the wettest on record. This would
surely have an unanticipated effect on the
workings of brand new buildings.
As a result, leaks, floods and power
outages would be expected here at Cal
State San Marcos as kinks in the structures
are being worked o u t
Apparently, however, some in the Far
ciMesdepartmenttake this very seriously;
seriously enough to dictate to me the importance of stories concerning these issues.
LastFriday, a s l went to Student Health
Services to take care of some business, I
was told by one of the officials there that
there had been a flood on thefirstfloor of
Craven Hall, where Student Health Services is located. Sure enough, behind a
doorway in the complex there were Facilities workers cleaning up the mess left
by the flood.
I had my camera bag and notebook in
hand, thinking that this might make an
interesting story for the paper. For the
first round, when I asked about what had

With this reasoning I said that there
wasn't, and one of them snapped back at
me with a quick "Yes, there are."
Next, I asked why they weren't being
cooperative and they claimed that it would
make them look bad if this situation were
reported in the paper.
Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing
"bad" about seeing Facilities workers
rushing diligently to clean up and solve a
problem. Sure, they may have been under
a tremendous amount of stress, but that
gave them no right to dictate to me the
importance of the story; they could have
just amply referred me to the head of the
department for information.
Ironically, no one was at the office when
I called and the voice mail system was not
answering. Come press time this week, I
had no choice but to run a blurb about the
incident with little if any information.
The fact is that there is something wrong
with the buildings if they are flooding like
Craven Hall, and the campus community
has the right to know about i t But apparently, some people in Facilities don't see it
that way. They gave the appearance that
problems with the buildings are to be kept
secret from the people who utilize the
facilities every day. By doing t ha t they
give the whole operation an appearance
that is much more suspicious than I know
it really is.

something. This, however, was only t h e
tip of the iceberg.
Afterfinishingmy business in Student
Health Sendees, I promptly left and went
around to the front entrance of the building on the first floor. Just past the entry
way to my right was the same hallway
filled with what seemed like two inches of
water on the floor.
Just as I got my camera out of the bag,
the workers stopped what they were doing and l ef t I asked them what was wrong
and they said they didn't want their picture
taken. I had no problem with that whatsoever. I f s always been my belief that if
someone doesn't want a newspaper camera in their face, that right should be respected.
I thought then I could at least get some
information about what had happened.
Then they got hostile with me, telling me
that there were more important things to
cover on campus.
...Not on a stormy Friday afternoon.
Cal State San Marcos President Dr. Bill
Stacy, when interviewed about the campus
closure after the power outage on Feb. 18,
had no problem telling Pioneer that there
may have been flaws in how the closure
was handled. He even put a bright side to
i t saying that it brought to light the importance of haviiig a set plan in future
instances of that nature. Those in Facilities who think that not talking about the
problem is the avenue to take should reevaluate their way of thinking.
The treatment I received last Friday
was unfair to me, unfair to the campus
community and unprofessional to say the
least
Physical problems, as I said, are to be
expected in a new building, and although
the flood looked bad, it would have been
simple to explain what the problems were
and how they were being rectified rather
than to hide them under the table as these
workers deemed necessary to do.
If everyone treated me or any other
reporter of this newspaper with the attitude that they can judge what goes in this
publication, Pioneer would not be the independent campus voice it is striving to
be.
And the losers in that scenario would
be you, the reader.

Letter shows writer's ignorance about gays
I am in complete shock and utter
disbelief after reading Irving Davis' letter
regarding gays in the military in the last
issue of the Pioneer.
This disbelief stemsfromt h e fact that
even now, in 1993, there is still ignorance
in regards to the homosexual lifestyle and
what it entails and the stupidity Mr. Davis
shows when discussing AIDS.
The question of letting gays in the
military is moot There have been gays in
the military since day one. If gays haven't
made great contributions to the armed
services, Mr. Davis, then why are gay
veteran groups all over the country?
There isa misconception that gay men
are always on "the make" and that they
only joined the military to meet men. I
know of several gay men and women who
have been (and actively still are) a part of
our defense system. T hes e men and
women joined for the same reasons that
heterosexuals have: to serve their country,
to get money for college and to see the
world.
Mr. Davis says to be aware of the
"smokescreens" homosexuals are using
to advance in society under the "guise of
legal rights and discrimination.'' This is
not a smokescreen. Your sexual orientation
should make no difference in the workplace
or in our existence in society; we are human
beings just like everybody else and wish to
be treated as so. We aren't asking for
special privileges in this world, just for the
discrimination and hatred against u s to
end.
As far as the death sentence we are all
facing, do you not realize that the rate of
Believe m ewhenlsay being gayisnot
a choice. If it was do you think I would
choose to be an object of ridicule and
degradation by society and to hear ignorant
people such a s yourself spou t s uc h
prejudicial statements about something I
had no control over?
As far as "inevitable early death" that
members of thegay community face, what
do you base this on? Yes, there have been
many members of thegay community who
have died before their time (as the song
says "...only the good die young."), but
homosexuals lead long, h ealthy and
extremely productive lives — just a s
heterosexuals do.
I'm sorry to be the one to break this to
you Mr. Davis, but we have been around
for thousands of years and we will be here
'till the very end. You say our lifestyle
offers no excuse and no future? It is true
thathomosexualrelationships do not bring
about procreation, but let me just say that
I am looking to a very bright future. I am a
junior here at CSU San Marcos working

that?).

PUBLIC FORUM
h eterosexual s contractin g AIDS h a s
surpassed the homosexual community due
to I.V. drug use, blood transfusions and
unsafe sex practices? Although the gay
community h a s received most of t h e
attention in regards to the plight of AIDS,
that is only because we are one of the few
segments of society trying to educate
misinformed people like yourself, Mr.
Davis. AIDS is not a gay disease, it is
everybody's disease. It has no face.
T h e "wild plight ... into an early
demise" that the gay community is heading
for is absolutely blasphemous. We are not
looking for a hedonistic existence. Like
heterosexuals, we too are looking for that
special someone, a loving partner and
companion, and I am not asking for yours
or society's approval on how I live my life.
I am sure my dating practices are far tamer
and safer than most heterosexuals.
As far as the self-inflicted misery that
accompanies being gay, that too is also
untrue. The only misery afflicted upon me
is by the uninformed members of society
like yourself, Mr. Davis. Being gay is not
something you choose. I knew I was
different as far back as grade school. I was
born this way, I wasn't recruited!
I am also in a loving monogamous
relationship with a law e nforcemen t
student whom I hope to be with for a long
time. No future, Mr. Davis? T h e future for
me and my "family" is so bright, "we gotta

Sankofa brings soulful melody to CSUSM
Story by KATHY C
OMBS and photos by RALPH BERRY
'It's like singing a
melodic line. Those
patterns make life more
real to me.'
Dr. W. Komla Amoaku,
director of Visual and Performing Arts
I tV a rhythm that binds the
mind, body and spirit
Andfor Dr. W. Komla Amoaku,
director of Visual and Performing Arts at Cal State San Marcos
and the band Sankofa, the music
is a rhythmic melody that comes
straight from the soul.
From traveling around the
world, Amoaku, a native of Ghana
and a virtuoso of t h e drums
"Gyembe" and "Apantema," discovered diverse cultures have a
common link. T h e result is
Sankofa, a band that incorporates a cross-cultural blend of
Afndmmusicand dance, calypso
and American jazz.
Amoaku's travels led to his interest in exploring the influence
ofAfrican music in South America
and the Caribbean.
"I wanted to identify some of
t h e elements in those various
styles of African music," he said.
The music had "a common ancestry, an ancestry that can be
traced to a common root. Regardless of where you find it,
those elements are always there,*
Common e lement s flow
through the heart of all art forms
in Ghana. Unlike Western cultures, Ghanaians don't categorize
music, dance and art, Amoaku
said. Rather than approaching
music intellectually u sin g a
structured format, artists approach t hei r c raf t intuitively.
Children play games that reinforce an attitude toward rhythm.
Where Western cultures develop
the eyes before the ears, Ghanaians develop the ears before the
eyes, he added.
"I was born into a society that
views the arts as an integral part
of everyday life," h e said. "My
exposure to the arts came by
virtue of my being part of my
traditional environment."
Amoaku began playing the
drums at the age of 5 when his
uncle gave him a toy drum. The
child of an artistic family, he
learned by example, imitating
adults and participating in adult
activities. Rhythm became incorporated into everyday life.
"For me the drum is like pouring out my soul," he said. "It is a
rhythm and speech instrument.
So I was naturally drawn to it."
Because of the instrument's
ability to vary its pitches, the
drummer can approximate the
intonation and the rhythm in the
traditional Ghanaian language.
"It's like singinga melodic line.
Those patterns make life more
real to me."
Not that Amoaku was without
Western musical training. While in
college he studied classicalguitar,
however the two had a rather
strained relationship.

performance
a rare viewing
opportunity
Members of t h e Cal State San Marcos
community have a r ar e opportunity to see
jazz guitarist Peter Sprague and his String
Consort March 5 on campus.
Why is it considered rare? As Sprague
explained it, the group seldomly meets for
concerts because members of t h e quartet
belong to other musical organizations.
"It's a very high-maintenance group,"
said Sprague, adding that this is t h e first
time the group has met for a performance
infiveyears.
T h e consort is made up of t hre e jazz
musicians and four classical symphony
artists. Works to be performed include
originals by Sprague, and pieces by Bach,
Mozart and pianist Chick Corea.
A resident of Del Mar, Sprague has
toured, made 21 records and h a s played
and worked with the likes of Corea and
bassist Bob Magnusson.
Sprague said that t h e String Consort
came about six or seven years ago after h e
was inspired by pianist Corea. Sprague
says that h e g et s inspiration for his works
from one simple thing.
"Mostly (my works are) originally inspired by either (musicians) that I've heard
or actual people," h e explained. "One
(song) is called 'Amadeus,' written for
M ozart , and ' Mahavishnu ' f o r J oh n
McLaughlin, a great jazz guitarist.''
Along with the consort, Sprague plays
with other groups, including his Electric
Band, in which he plays a guitar synthesizer
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955,
Sprague and his family moved to Del Mar
in 1963 after spending time in Colorado.
He took up guitar at t h e age of 12, later
studying with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill
Coleman and forming his first group, t h e
Minor Jazz Quartet.
Two performances of the String Consort will be held on campus, t h e first at 5
p.m. and t h e second at 7 p.m. T h e concerts
will be located in room ACD 102.

ELECTIONS: 15 percent
may be a low voter
turnout, but it's still
higher than many CSU
campuses
B Y R ICHARD M AUSER
Are CSUSM students involved on
campus?
Considering the results of the recent Associated Students Inc. (ASI)
elections, a lot would have to answer
"no."
Only 692 students bothered to vote
in the two-day election April 15-16.
That's about 15 p ercent of t he
university's student population.
But, compared to the other CSU
campuses, where turnout in such
elections averages 8-10 percent, 15
percent may not be all that bad.
But, in the eyes of many on campus, it still leaves room for improvement. "I was pretty proud that we got
15 percent, but I would like to see 4050 percent turnout in the future,"
said ASI Executive Director Darlene
Willis. Added current ASI President
Joe Faltaous: "I think there are several layers of apathy on campus. ASI
can help bring down those layers."
ASI, which will control a $600,000
budget next year, is one of the few
entities on campus that has officers
elected solely by students. In fact, the
students employ the ASI, since $20
out of every student's tuition goes
directly to the organization.
But some students may not realize
that. In fact, there was a dearth of
candidates for the ASI board. Of the
18 seats at stake in the election, only
four were actually contested on the

CSUSM offers
first computer
scholarships
As a result of the $2.26 million bequest of Leonard Evers, CSUSM established the Evers Computer Scholarship fund. Beginning this fall, each
year 40 low-income freshman will
each get a laptop computer as long
as they are enrolled at CSUSM.
"Computers are an integral part of
education, business, and our society.
At CSUSM, computers are essential
for doing research, creating artwork,
analyzing information, and communicating with other students and professors. It's virtually impossible to get
a quality education without having
access to computers and other information technology," Paul Phillips,
director of financial aid, explained.
"This program helps ensure that lowincome students at CSUSM have

B Y SCOTT BASS
They come from Brazil, Turkey and Taiwan; the United Arab Emirates, Japan
and Korea. A United Nations delegation?
No, just some of the nations represented in CSUSM's English as a Second
Language program, which is directed on
c ampus
by the
American
Language
and Cultural Institutes
(ALCI).
The
c urriculum consists of
intensive academic preparation courses
for students who come to the United
States from other nations to continue
their education.
ESL students are rarely true begin-:
ners in English. "We do get some students who are fairly low level English
speakers/' admitted Cheryl Wecksler,
director of the ALCI. "Most have studied English in their own country."
Students who take the courses exit
the program with a certificate in hand
and the ability to continue their education in the United States.
The ESL program builds upon each
s tudent's individual skills, said
Wecksler, adding, "When a student
comes in we test them. We place them,
depending on their test results, at varying levels."
The ESL program gives the students
the academic tools necessary to reach
their scholastic goals in this country,
she said. "Some may need a semester.
Others may need a full year," she added.
The program keeps academics as its
main focus. "We teach students how to
do academic writing, how to do research, how to write research papers
and listening
and notetaking
skills,"
said
Wecksler.
"We
make
sure they
have the
skills
necessary to survive academically here
in the U.S. We teach them how to succeed in an American university."
Three alumni of CSUSM's ESL program will graduate from the university
this spring. "Others who have gone
through the program will be entering
CSUSM as freshman next semester,"
said Wecksler. "We ajso have alumni
who went on to UCSD and Berkeley."
Aside from academic preparation,
ALCI offers short-term programs in
ESL. Among these is a language and
culture program that centers on personal communication. "The program
focuses on speaking and listening," said
Wecksler," straight-forward communication skills r ather t han academic
skills."
At 10 a.m. on May 13,15 ESL students
will receive their certificates from ALCI
in Commons 207.

Upward Bound students to hold fund-raiser
B Y FREDRIC BALL
r f l h e students in CSUSM's Up
ward Bound Program (UB)
will be heading to Washing
mJLm ton, D.C., this summer and
they want your money. For their fundraisers, that is.
From June 21-30, approximately 25
UB students will be heading to the
Nation's Capital to participate in the '98
"Summer Education College Tour."
The students will be holding a 5 0/
50 raffle and candy sale on campus to
help pay for the trip.
"The students are visiting some of the
country's historical landmarks and colleges," said UB programmer Shelly
Anguiano, "including Howard and
Georgetown Universities, the White
House, the Holocaust Museum and
many others."
During the next several weeks, candy
will be for sale at the UB Office (Craven
5201) along with the raffle tickets. The
raffle prize is half of the money raised
through ticket sales.
"So, if we sell $2,000 in tickets, whoever holds the winning ticket will get
$1,000," said Anguiano.
UB is a college preparation course for
low-income, first-generation college
students in North County.
Students, who are recruited at eighth
grade, gain entry to a number of helpful programs aimed at ensuring academic success.
Some of the offerings include tutorials that are offered at the high school
level and "College Saturdays" where the
high schoolers receive college-type instruction on CSUSM's campus. Students also go on field trips and college
campus tours.
Currently, UB offers services to eight
area high schools. "We follow the students from eight grade to high school,"
says Anguiano, "Once the students become juniors in high school, we help
them apply to colleges, for scholarships
and other financial aid."
To help the UB students raise money
for their trip, or for more information,
call Anguiano at (760) 750-4885.

Diverse hiring: a blessing or a curse?
B Y D E B B I E H ENKE
What some call a commitment to diversity, others see as reverse discrimination.
The current CSUSM administration
is committed to building a diverse faculty. Yet some on campus believe the
methods used by the university to recruit and hire faculty members are unfair and possibly illegal.
Two faculty members, speaking only
oh the condition of anonymity, said too
much time is spent seeking minority
candidates with no interest in teaching
at CSUSM. "This is sensitive, politically
incorrect stuff," said one. "The truth
would ruffle way too many feathers."
One said the university's current hiring process is "an unnecessary bureaucracy, driven by diversity,"
Both said that in many cases salary
demands of prospective hires can seldom be met, and that Searches are
sometimes canceled in violation of
Proposition 209 simply because a candidate may not be an ethnic or racial
minority.
Both said the CSUSM's Department
of Institutional Diversity and Equal Opportunity (IDEO) plays far too heavy a
role in university recruiting.
But Joe Cordero, IDEO director, denied it, adding that state universities are
still able to target minorities for recruitment despite Proposition 209, which
ended affirmative action in state hiring
and education. They cannot, however,
show preference based on race or gender, he stressed.
The name of Cordero's office was
changed from the Department of Affirmative Action after Prop. 209 was approved by state voters.
The IDEO, Cordero said, recruits minorities in three ways: advertising in
educational journals specifically aimed
at minorities; attending academic conferences also specific to minority
groups; and contacting possible candidates directly.
But one of the CSUSM faculty members interviewed characterized the
IDEO's efforts as an "extravagant misallocation of very scarce university resources," and added that placing ads in
journals aimed at minorities is an expense the university cannot afford.
Both said ads in "The Chronicle of
Higher Education," a widely circulated
standard for academia, would reach all
qualified candidates, including minori-
date is not a minority. "Cordero's office
closely monitors the entire process, yet
will cancel a search just before a job offer is made," said one. "This very heavy
hand in the faculty recruiting process
is to assure minority candidates receive
priority consideration ... in direct violation of Proposition 209."
Cordero said his department is not
responsible for canceling a search, only
making recommendations. But, he
added, if his department feels the pool
of candidates is not diverse, and the
person under consideration is mediocre, a search might be ended. "Nobody
wants to hire for the sake of hiring,"
Cordero said. "We agonize over this."
Yet he admitted his office is stricter
with departments who he says "do not
have a good track record" for minority
hiring. One faculty source questioned
whether the IDEO is qualified to decide
if an applicant is mediocre, adding,
"Only the minority candidates are interviewed by Cordero. So how can he
judge if another candidate is mediocre?"
In addition, the two faculty sources
said, not many minority candidates are
available in a number of academic
fields, and those who are available are
in high demand by other universities,
which pay more and hire faster.
ties. Both also said they opposed attending conferences for specific ethnic
or gender groups, because it meant
spending money on travel only to speak
to a small number of candidates. Attending conferences which are held in
every academic discipline, they added,
was a better way to meet all qualified
candidates.
The university also reaches out to
minorities by contacting people listed
in the "Minority & Women Doctoral
Directory," they said. These lists are
given by IDEO to each faculty search
committee.
The problem with this* according to
both faculty members, is that more than
half of the people listed already have
teaching positions and no interest in
coming to CSUSM.
Cordero disagreed, saying every effort
must be made to reach out to minorities "because of the university's commitment to diversity," and added that
the IDEO does not want to hinder a
search team's efforts.
"If a department believes' bureaucratic restrictions are causing delays,
then we need to know and reevaluate
the process," he said.
The two faculty sources insisted that
searches are canceled because a candi-

26-27 "Peer Facilitator Certification
Training" as an opportunity for students. "The students who attend come
f rom a variety of motivations and
places," he says. "Some are, or hope to
be, tutors or peer academic advisors.
"Many others come just because they
want to have good people skills and may
pursue a career in the "helping professions.' All students are welcome."
The two-day^eries of seminar workshops is designed to enlarge students'
capabilities in communication skills,
assertiveness, multicultural issues in
helping others, substance abuse, crisis
intervention, campus resources and
conflict resolution, in addition to peer
counseling.
"This training raises the compassion
level of the campus community," says
Kreisler.
A third day of advanced training, focused on self-development and increased awareness of differences among
people, is available to students who have
previously completed the two-day program.
For more information, or to sign-up,
go to the CAPS office (5310 Craven Hall)
or call 750-4910. CAPS asks that students register in advance. "The first
year, there were more than 50 students,
and last year more t han 70," says
Kreisler.
This year, CAPS is able to offer this
training, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
May 26-27, at no cost to students. The

"I think I need to go see my counselor."
Almost eveiy college student has uttered this phrase at one time or another.
Quite likely, the mere mention of the
word "counselor" sends thoughts of
registration deadlines, course numbers
and frenzied signature-hunts. But access to a counselor is only one venue of
such help available at CSUSM.
Counseling & Psychological Services
(CAPS) offers a variety of services to
students at no cost. It is geared to promote wellness, mental health and academic success in the CSUSM community.
"In general, our goal is to improve the
health of the CSUSM community as
much as possible toward successful student development and growth," says
Dy. Fritz Kreisler, who heads the office.
To accomplish this, CAPS offers individual personal counseling and brief
therapy to assist students with things
like study challenges, problematic relationships and stress.
"Nearly 10 percent of the student
body uses CAPS in this way each year,"
says Kreisler.
Sometimes, counselors find themselves helping students through depression, severe anxiety or p osttraumatic s tress symptoms. "Student

Enrollment:
"These admissions figures demonstrate the troubling impact Proposition
209 has, and will continue to have, on
California's future," said Lt. Governor
Davis. "Clearly, Prop. 209's legacy will
result in fewer African Americans and
Latinos who will be educated to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way."
According to statistics released by officials at both UC Berkeley and UCLA,
the number of Latinos admitted declined by more than 56 percent and 33
percent, respectively.
Similarly the number of African
Americans admitted declined by more
than 64 percent at UC Berkeley and 42
percent at UCLA.
"Proposition 209 is the law of the
land and tile UC system must abide by
the voters' decision in 1996," added
Davis. "However, we must be diligent
in improving California's K-12 system
in order to make students from those
continued from page 1
schools that have historically not been
competitive, more competitive in the
future. We must also be creative in rethinking UC's admissions policy to allow f or a b etter r epresentation of
California's population."
Lt. Governor Davis is a proponent of
a proposal before the UC Regents that
calls for automatically admitting to the
UC afixedpercentage of graduating seniors from each high school in California to tile UC system.
"It is time for the UC Regents to seriously consider adopting the top-students' proposal as a means to offset the
dramatic impact of Prop. 209," Davis
concluded. "Thefirststep is raising the
b& on academic achievement in
California's high schools. This will improve academic performance among all
high-schoolers and, at the same time,
ensure that no segment of California's
diverse communities is shut out of the
UC."

technological opportunities that they
could not otherwise afford," added
Phillips.
"I am not aware of any other program
like this in the country. Some campuses
require students to have their own computers but add the cost onto tuition.
Some campuses loan computers to students. I have not heard of any programs,
other than the Evers Computer Scholarships, where the students get to use
and keep the computers," stated
Norman Nicolson, dean of instructional
and information technologies.
Each computer will be fully loaded
with software, including Internet connectivity. Evers scholars will periodically be given software upgrades at no
cost, to insure that they are current with
the latest technology. New computers
will be purchased each year, so that
each new group of scholars will have
up-to-date computers. The university

continued from page 1
With the success of the new fee referendum, CSUSM students
will soon be able to participate in various intramural sports
a $52 million sports and entertainment
facility.
Four years later, several students
launched an u nsuccessful legal
challenge of t he resulting $47 per
semester fee increase. Today, the SDSU
facility, officially called Cox Arena at
Aztec Bowl, hosts five gymnasiums, a
workout room, weight-training room,
locker room with saunas and a rockclimbing wall.
The idea for the CSUSM project
began approximately two years ago with
a $50,000 donationfroma local builder
who asked to r emain anonymous,
Lynch said. That money paid for the
field's design and soil-testing costs.
But plans to build the state-of-the-art
track and soccer field stalled after only
about $25,000 was raisedfromvarious
other donors, she said.
Gonzalez rekindled the plans when he
proposed t hat s tudents back the
development of the facility through a
fee increase referendum.
The original donor then pledged an
additional $150,000 for the project if it
won student approval.
According to a voter information flier
distributed by the university, the donor
will "assist the University to initiate the
development of the facility by early
summer," which Gonzalez explained
meant helping the university to secure
financing for the project.
Because academic buildings have first
priority for state funds, money to build
an athletic facility would have to come
from s tudent and donor s upport,
according to the flier.
The referendum met limited
opposition from students, with some
comparing the issue as a battle between
sports and scholastics.
Though conceding she didn't vote on
the issue, biology m ajor Robyn
Rosenburg said she was concerned
about CSUSM losing academic focus.
"It's ridiculous to pay for a soccer field
when we don't even have enough
classes," she added.
Students will pay the additional fee
for seven to 10 years, after which they
may vote to rescind it, or keep it to fund
additional facilities and programs.
ASI Secretary Erik Dawson warned
that there probably will only be a small
window of opportunity to abolish the
fee once the track is paid off.
"Students will have to remain
constantly vigilant, otherwise they are
going to get ripped off," he added.
Though hot certain where funds
would come from to maintain the field
if students do vote the fee out a decade
from now, Gonzalez said they would
probably come f rom t he campus
budget.
Francine Martinez, vice president of
Student Affairs, praised students for
recognizing the need for the facility.
"The proposed track speaks to a change
in the campus culture for the students,"
she said, adding that it could be used
for such events as club days in the fall,
concerts and the annual health fair.
CSUSM membership in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
may also loom in the future, but first
the University must establish five men's
and five women's teams, she said.
For the time being, students will have
t he o pportunity to develop and
p articipate in i ntramural sports,
Gonzalez said.
ASI President Joe Faltaous called the
track a step in t he right direction,
adding, "It gives t he campus a
opportunity to begin hosting more
programs and activities and creating a
channel for uniting students."
Senior Julie Baer said she voted for
the referendum even though she will
not be on campus next year to use it
because she will still be an alumnae.
"Every college with a quality reputation
has a good sports program," she said.
Sophomore Arwen Swink said she
believes thefieldwill "make the campus
a little bit more official," and pointed
out that the $35 increase in student fees
was more than canceled by a 5 percent
t uition decrease enacted by state
legislators.
Josephine Jones, a literature and
writing major who expects to graduate
next fall, said she didn't mind paying an
extra $35 even though the chances of
her ever using the track were slim.
"It's not so much that I'm not going
to use it," she said, "I see it as an asset
for the community."
Jones said she was not bothered by
the fact that nearly 90 percent of the
s tudents failed to vote o n the
referendum. "The apathy stems from
society as a whole and it just trickles
down to our peon level," she added.

B Y L O D I A O RAMAS
As most of us know, the college routine
is a hectic one. Getting away, if only for
a couple of minutes, is not only helpful
to stressed-out students, but mandatory.
And there is a place on the CSUSM
campus where it's possible to do that.
But you'd better enjoy it while you can,
because even that simple pleasure may
soon be lost.
The Student Lounge in Conference
Room 2-206 ... equipped with a TV, a
couple of tables and plenty of seating. ..
may be small, but it's the only thing we
have. It is now controlled by Associated
Students Inc. (ASI), but other university groups are casting covetous eyes at
the space.
According to the CSUSM Foundation, the off-campus office responsible
for the university's growth, not enough
students use the lounge. The Foundation is considering taking it over and
converting it into a conveyance store.
The CSUSM Space Committee, on the
other hand, would like to turn it into a
conference room.
Either way, that would leave students
nowhere to go during breaks.The Student Affairs Office also has plans for the
lounge, which would leave most of it
intact. That office has recommended
converting the back 10 feet of t he
present lounge into an office to house
the Pride newspaper.
ASI also has recommended spending
$5,000 to improve its offices, as well as
the lounge, according to ASI secretary
Erik Dawson.
Even at present, the lounge is not always available to students, since ASI
allows other campus organizations to
reserve the room for special events.
The Student Union also has proposed
to take over the lounge, but preserve the
space for students, according to Student
Union chairman Matt Mugglebee. He
points out that such a move would provide the group the opportunity to have
"a heart on campus."
The problem boils down to a familiar
refrain at CSUSM: The university is
growing, and its facilities aren't. There
simply isn't space to accommodate everyone.
Unfortunately, should the present
lounge be lost, there is no plan to provide any other space to enable students
to do what they should be doing beside
studying and learning... relaxing.
Fee increase:
dent Erin Schazenbach, who voted
against t he increase, asked, "Why
should a third of the $35 increase go to
a scholarship pool? Aren't we all in need
of financial assistance? it just doesn't
make sense."
She added that she would rather see
her money spent on construction of a
better library or perhaps a center for art
programs.
But, according to the wishes of the
anonymous $150,000 donor, the contribution could only be used for an athletic facility. Had the referendum failed,
the gift would have been withdrawn.
Certainly, the donation provides the
university with an opportunity to create a more interactive campus, encouraging students to become more involved and concerned, but why should
all students have to pay out for a facility that only an obvious minority of
them cares about?
And exactly how long will they have
to pay what amounts to a tax?
The information pamphlets provided
at the polls said students will have an
opportunity to vote to get rid of the $35
increase once the debt is paid.
But who will initiate such a vote? The
students entering CSUSM seven to 10
years from now may not even have access to this information.
The extra $35 may not immediately
be noticed by students, because of a
temporary decrease in tuition that undoubtedly helped in its adoption.
As one senior who voted in favor
pointed out, it didn't seem to make a
difference, thanks to the reduction. But
fees are bound to go up, as they always
do, and the increase will be a heavier
burden for CSUSM students.
Also, the termination of some costs
like field maintenance and developmental growth in the future seems uncer-

The Student Union is looking for

tain. Won't both be needed constantly?
What if future students decide not to
pay the fee anymore? Will that mean
the soccer field's grass won't get cut or
watered?
It appears that the $18.35 fee set aside
for these costs will be a fixture, unless
future sports programs accrue revenue.
CSUSM administrators maintain that
the adoption of the increase will send
the message out to the community that
we care enough about our campus to
spend our own money to build needed
facilities.
Jane Lynch, executive director of university advancement, said the track's
approval was an "important partnership with the community."
But will that spur the community to
offer financial s upport f or f uture
projects? Maybe. Maybe not. But it's
hardly an assumption that students
should have relied on.

Visual Arts student
displays her
talents in Carlsbad
B Y CHRIS OZOLS
She gets up before the sun rises and
keeps going until after it sets. Sometimes she spends three or four days
searching for the perfect image, and
then she waits a bit longer for good
lighting and a "certain feel" between her
and her subject.
Even though photography is a long
and hard process, Becca Siminou, a
CSUSM visual arts major, says, "It's a
wonderful process."
Siminou's photography exhibit,
"Tracing Journeys through Shadows,"
is now on display at Good Books Gallery, 527 Carlsbad Village Drive, at the
corner of State Street in Carlsbad until
May 24. It features 33 of her favorite
shots, 25 of them in black-and-white,
and the remaining eight in color.
Many of her pictures are of landscapes, and few have people in them.
"Her work is wonderful," said fellow
s tudent Marcus Schiro, s taring at
Siminou's favorite natural-setting picture, "Reflections."
"It makes me feel relaxed and calm.
"The entire exhibit is for sale. Framed
color shots cost $200, framed black-
and-white pictures, $160. But the pictures also are available unframed. The
display is Siminou's capstone project to
meet the requirements for her BA. The
project is designed to bring students, as
well as their art, into the community.
"I photographed a lot as a kid when I
was traveling with my family, and then
in high school, my sophomore year, I
took my first photo class, and I fell in
love with it. With time, I knew it was
what I wanted to do," Siminou says,
"I am able to capture myself and my
soid in my images and really re-energize myself. It's a way of doing something for myself as well as for people,
because they are able to look at the images, see places they have never been,
and maybe introduce them to a place
they want to go."
Through her years at both Palomar
College and CSUSM, Siminou says, she
has gained confidence in her work. "College is what really brought out my vision, and made me realize I have talent,"

for any fan of innovative audio theoiy.
Read the lyric® sheet especially (a workofart on its

poetry) and suspend judgment until you've listened
. to it a few times all the way through. Thisa&um definitely grows on you.
The undeniably moody composition of "OK Computer" effectively weds form and content into one unassuming organic whole. The thoughtful lyrics of
singer Thorn Yorke offer thematic text to intensely
menacing instrumentals. Check out tracks like "Paranoid Android," "Exit Music (for a film)," "Karma Police*' and the eerie-electronic "Fitter, Happier." They're
all songs that comment on the difficulty in virtue and
the absurd emptiness of resolution on the moral imperative of doubt and self-improvement in the everweakened human condition.
"OK Computer" offers a 12-track piece of kinetic art
with contextually forceful and sensitive psychological underpinnings. Radiohead's oft-times dark and
brooding ambient sound has earned the group comparisons to Pink Floyd by critics ... a comparison
Greenwood modestly chalks up to the groups' common British roots.
"Oxford (Radiohead's hometown) is in the center
of England, but it's not really a rock n' roll town, and
we don't record in a rock n' roll place," he says. "We

r • 1 he Grammy Awards judges seem to think that
you should buy this album. It earned a Best
J L Album of the Year nomination and most mainstream print media publications followed suit by placing it on their "ten best" list as well.
While I'm of the opinion that the Grammys reflect
out-pf-touch indus|ry politics, valueless to music taps
outside of the mainstream, I II admit it: The hype
alone drove me to buy this CD.
Like anyone else, I feel the pressure to want to listen to esoteric bands that no one has ever heard of,
but despite the urge to be disagreeable here, I have to
concur with the Grammys.
"OK Computer," Radiohead's third release, would
be an asset to anyone's collection. My worst nightmare of becoming a closet pop fan is slowly coming
true.
Radiohead has experienced its share of variable
success. Its two previous releases, "Pablo Honey" and
"The Bends," saw considerably less fanfare. "OK Computer," on the other hand, has earned the group its
highest level of critical and commercial success to
date.

Dear Editor,
Your recent front page, "above the
fold" article about something called
"Electric Library" is, I fear representative of the most common shortcoming
of college students today: the inability
to research a question or topic in a
scholarly manner. Electronic access to
databases can certainly be a boon, but
only if the consumer is discerning. Your
reporter proclaimed the "richness" of
the Electric Library database and offered as evidence "a well-balanced
cross-section of data" in the form of
National Review, Psychology Today,
Newsday and USA Today, not one
scholarly publication among them, and
one of them the McPaper of our age.
The inclusion of The Complete Works
of Shakespeare is curious in that it
would seem t o be one of t he most
readily available books (remember
those?) in any library, negating the necessity of paying $10 per month to
"read" the Bard via a cathode ray tube.
My points are these: First, when all is
said and done, jthers is^no s^bstituteioi;
walking through a library and actually
touching and reading books and journals; in some cases, that is the only
place you will find what you need for a
scholarly paper. Second, for this campus—and its students and their publications—to mature, it is incumbent
upon the faculty advisors of the student
paper to more carefully examine what
is being touted as the most important
story of the week. (Buried in the same
issue was t he more i mportant and
timely article r egarding remedial
courses in the CSU system.)

Use library's resources:
free of charge
Dear editor:
I write in response to Dan LaBelle's
lead article in "The Pride" of April 2,
1998. "Electric Library Addresses Research Woes" touts an Internet resource
which provides access to popular journals for $59.95 annually. I invite all
"Pride" readers to use an array of resources supporting the CSUSM curriculum — absolutely free.
Enter the Library from the 3rd floor
courtyard of Craven Hall and there
you'll find several databases which will
give you full-text information from
more than 1500 journals in a variety of
subject areas. Plus you'll find library
staff who will help you formulate search
strategies and evaluate the information
you find. Bring a disc and download the
information that works best for you.
While in the Library you can also get
real research assistance in the Research
Consultation Office and even checkout
books to take home. (Believe it or not,
more than 90% of scholarly information is still available only in printed
form.)

Elections little more than
popularity contest
Dear Editor,
I would like to address an issue that I
feel is a great detriment to our campus
In the recent elections, there were a
number of candidates who told us to
vote for them. I found out some interesting things about these candidates. I
found, that one could make a monkey
smile, therefore we should vote for him.
Another could rap, therefore we should
vote for him. And, others simply told us
to vote for them, but for no real reason.
One thing that was lacking from every
candidate was any substantive reason
as to why we should vote for them at
all. What do they believe in? What type
of experience do they have? What are
their philosophies and/or views. What
issues do they feel are important and
why?
None of these items were addressed.
Also, the manner in which the election
was run forced those who actually voted
to vote solely based on acquaintance,
redfieing these'electiofis to little* more
http://www.save.org
than a high-school popularity contest.
We now attend a university and I feel
that the issues deserve considerably
more regard; regard which has not been
forthcoming. Now, arguably, there is
little in the way of a forum for the candidates to be heard. I feel they could
create their own forum if they so desired
but probably will not if the current
method used continues to work for
them.
I therefore have a proposition for the
Associated Students Inc. ASI should
mandate a forum as a requirement for
running. In other words, if a person
decides to runfor an office, they would
be required t o, o n a specified day,
present a 3-5 minute speech on there
merits, experience, and views on issues.
This forum could be held in a vacant
lecture hall and would cost the school
little if anything at all. The information
gained however would be invaluable in
helping the students guide and plan for
the future of this university.
I cannot believe for a moment that I
am the only person who feels this way.
I ask the ASI to consider this suggestion or similar suggestions, for the issues that the students face everyday are
too important to leave to someone simply because a monkey smiles in their
presence.

Presidential Inauguration
Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR
Dr. Alexander Gonzalez was
officially instated as California
State University, San Marcos's
secoiM president on Wednesday,
September 1,1999. The ceremony took place on a warm and sundrenched afternoon at the San
Marcos campus. Many distinguished guests, family, friends,
faculty, staff and students attended the event.
A processional march towards
a temporary stage, set up on the
lawn near University Hall, initiated t he everlt, a celebration
marked by more music, speeches, and pleasant, heartfelt congratulations.
Newly inaugurated President Gonzalez leads a concluding procession of
distinguished guests, faculty and staff.
San Marcos Mayor F.H.
"Corky" Smith spoke of the earlier days of the campus and presented a key to the city which
Gonzalez accepted on behalf of
the university. Congressman
Randy "Duke" Cunningham
offered his own good wishes to
Gonzalez and commended North
County's only federal depository
library. Francisco Gonzalez,
President Gonzalez's brother,
followed the distinguished political figures with a musical interlude entitled "Cuatros Milpas,"
which he played on the harp.
Gonzalez's hard decision to leave
Harvard Law School under the
enormous pressure of being one
of the first Mexican-Americans
accepted there.
One of the most poignant
moments came when Professor
Emeritus Elliot Aronson of the
University of California, Santa
Cruz, shared his recollections.
President Gonzalez described
Aronson a "mentor, teacher, and
friend."
Gonzalez eventually pursued a
master's and doctoral studies in
psychology at UC Santa Cruz
and contributed significantly to
his field. Although Gonzalez is
his only student to have become
president of a university*
Aronson praised Gonzalez particularly as a "wonderful teacher
and first-rate researcher."
Aronson charted President
Gonzalez's lifetime of struggle
and achievement — his childhood growing up in a rough part
of Los Angeles, his early days in
the Air Force and then working
as a truck driver before finally
attending community college.
CSU Chancellor Charles B.
Reed made the final and official
address which invested Dr.
Gonzalez as the second president
of the young and growing university.
Gonzalez would eventually
receive a history degree with
honors and election to Phi Beta
Kappa from Pomona College.
Aronson also commended

Mark Zornes and Shari Sutherland
PRIDE STAFF WRITERS
Dear Psyche Fairy,
I have been without romance
for many months now and all of
a sudden, I found myself "dating" two guys. Should I drop
one? - Michelle, 21
Oh Michelle, you call this a
dilemma? You needn't "drop"
anyone if you are v being open
with these men. Have fun with
them and enjoy their company.
I assume you haven't committed yourself to a monogamous
relationship with one of them,
so don't worry. You should,
however, be open with both of
them. Besides, even if you are
looking for a "serious" relationship, then you must remember
that dating is like a rehearsal.
You play the scene and see
how it goes. How else are you
supposed to decide? What if
you dropped the wrong one and
you never gave yourself the
opportunity to rehearse with the
other? Just remember that you
are dating and not committed.
If you choose to monogamously commit later, then you will
be able to do so with confidence. Unless one of them is a
total tragedy, then date them
both and don't be so serious. I
am amazed that you have time
we meet. The fact that someone put a rod through their nose
doesn't tell us much about that
person anyway. You need to
know that your appearance may
cause a stare or a dumb remark,
but that is because of others'
limitations. Instead, you need
to wear your pierced lip like
Elizabeth Taylor wearing a fat
ass diamond ring. I don't know
how crazy your clothes are, but
look at the designer Betsy
Johnson. She sports her wild
outfits like they are haute couture and you need to do the
same. Please don't think that
your outfits are better or worse
than anyone's, just realize that
they are part of your expression
at that time. When clothes and
appearances are taken too seri-v
ously, then the whole fashion
thing becomes dreadfully miserable. Refocus your energy
from worrying about others'
opinions and problems and
f ocus on your creativity of
expression.
to date two men though. Don't
you have projects to do?
Dear Psyche Fairy,
Why do you think that people
have the audacity to say that
they are not racist or discriminatory but will treat people who
dress differently (such as facial
piercings) in a discriminatory
manner?
Anonymous, Age 25
Hello! Haven't you heard of
hypocrites?? Well, that's the
type of person you have met
and let me tell you, there are
plenty of them out there. It's
like those people who say, "oh,
I am not prejudiced, I even have
a friend who is black." These
people are proving that they are
prejudiced. If they weren't they
wouldn't feel as if they needed
to "prove" it by saying "look I
even have a Mend who is...."
You see! I must say, though,
that no one is without prejudice
and bias. This is a human trait
which comes from the way we
conceptualize things. The best
we can do is to recognize our
prejudices and realize that they
are not applicable to the people

A Brand New CSUSM Fall 1999 Semester
Cal State San Marcos enrollment is UP, and fees have gone DOWN.
According to a recent report from Enrollment Services. Around 800 more students
will be on campus this Fall semester over last Fall 1998. That figure increases total
enrollment at our growing campus to 5,850.
The fees at CSU have dropped $39.00 per semester. Additional funding from the state
budget to all CSU schools has made this the second consecutive year for a decrease in
school fees.
In the film THE ASTRONAUT'S
WIFE, directed by Rand Ravich, a
space mission goes horribly wrong
when astronauts Spencer Armacost
(Johnny Depp) and Alex Streck (Nick
Cassavetes) are involved in a bizarre
space accident that puts them out of
communication with NASA for a full
two minutes. The shuttle is brought
back down to Earth and both men are
unconscious. Armacost appears
unhurt, but his co-pilot Streck has suffered a heart attack and later dies under
questionable
circumstances.
Armacost's decision to retirefromflying and take an executive position at a
New York City-based aerospace company is the first strange event upon his
return from space.
Jillian (Charlize Theron) is immediately impregnated with twins and thus
begins her paranoia about her babies
and her husband. He definitely isn't
the man he used to be. Spencer
Armacost (Depp) communicates to the
extraterrestials via the radio by way of
a cold, calculated, high-pitched electronic pulse. Well, that seems to be the
form the aliens take in THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE. About this time,
Jillian really starts to panic, she should
her husband is a freak. Jillian spends
the rest of the film trying to frantically
figure out whether she's part of some
grand master extraterrestrial plan that
could end all humankind. The film
plummets further away from anything
great and has a quick disappointing
ending to boot.
Shari- This film was highly predictable
and I knew everything that was goinf to
happen.
•
Shari-What is with Johnny Depp's voice?
He sounds like a cross between Elvis and
John Travolta.
Shari- Charlize Theron appearance was
the same in all the scenes - "perfect".. .My
hair and make up would have been
smeared and smudged if I was crying all
the time.
Shari-Wait for it to come out on video,
don't waste your money on this film.
Mark-1 wasn't sure what the hell was
going on?
Mark- At least the set designs were pretty
cool.
Mark-One thing is for sure is that the
ending did nothing for me. The script
lacked a great deal of information. I 'm not
a screenwriter, but it would have been
nice to know who the alien is? Where
S/he is from? What does S/he want? Just a
suggestion!

number of lab stations, seating

Another important piece of

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Dear Psyche Fairy,
I am a 35 year old divorced
mother of 2 and have found
myself becoming increasingly attracted to one of my coworkers. I never seemed to
notice him before, but lately
I wait for his subtle hints and
flirtations with great anticipation. I am worried about
breaking one of the cardinal
rules of dating, however:
Don't go out with someone
you work with. What do you
think? — Dateless and
Divorced
Other than telling you to
keep your main focus on
your children who must be
the most important creatures
in your life, I recommend
that you forget that rule.
Unless you are a volatile person (or he is) then you
needn't avoid a relationship
with him. I find it awfully
cute that you get that "rush"
from his subtle flirtations and
there is a lot of richness in
just those acts that we tend to
ignore. It will be tricky, no
doubt, to figure out what his
feelings are towards you.
Perhaps you can get some
dinner after work and chat
over a glass of Cabernet. You
need to carefully assess if he
is "interested" in you and
pursue the relationship if he
is. You can't seem aggressive
at work because that could
create problems. If you
become friendly enough, just
tell him about your feelings
without any pressure—just
as you expressed them to me.
^Lf he feels similarly, he will
likely reciprocate with some
words of encouragement for
a budding relationship. That
rule about not getting together with a coworker is meant
for those who can't handle
their emotions. Ask yourself
this: could you break up with
him and still remain cordial?
If not, then it'd probably be
best to not get involved. If
yes, then the workplace is a
good place to meet people.
You already share something
in life and perhaps more
because your job may attract
a particular type of person
that is suited for you. Good
luck and please remember
that your worth as a person,
mom, or whatever does not
change according to your
dating status.
Dear Psyche Fairy,
Your response to Josh in the
August 30 issue of The Pride
was insightful and prompts a
question that has puzzled me
for many years. As homosexuals are attracted to those of
the same sex both mentally
and physically, why are gays
aroused and/or entertained
when men impersonate
women?—Evelyn
Evelyn, this question seemed
so silly to me that I wasn't
sure if it is a serious curiosity. First, you must understand that there are differences between attraction,
arousal, and entertainment.
In terms of being entertained,
my friend jokingly asks,
"Am I a lesbian because I am
entertained

singers?" Do straight people
want to marry clowns
because they find them entertaining? Just because gays
(and lesbians...and bisexuals...and straights) are entertained by drag queens we
cannot assume that they are
attracted to these drag
queens. Arousal, on the other
hand, can be accomplished in
many ways. If I blindfolded
you and told you that your
lover was going to pleasure
you, do you think y ou'd
know if I replaced this lover
with myself? Since arousal is
a physiological reaction to a
physical stimulus, I could
touch or lick you in the right
places to make you feel
aroused. People can be
aroused by many things, trust
me. Finally, attraction is not
a set-in-stone type phenomenon. Haven't you ever been
attracted to someone who
later turns
you o ff?
Sometimes you want dark
chocolate, the next day,
mocha. Now, to get to the
heart of your question, I have
to shatter your image and
inform you that many drag
queens "go home with"
straight men! Yes, some gay
men are attracted to drag
queens, but not most. Why
do you think most gay ads
contain beefcakes? Why do
so many straight men pick up
on drag queens? That is up to
you to discover, but sometimes it represents a sexual
frolic that is easily hidden
from their girlfriends/wives
and requires no commitment.

Why am I, a part-time student (three hours two
nights a week), required to pay the same parking,
Associated Students, Recreation Program, Health Service, Health Facilities,
IRA, Student Union, Student Recreation and Recreation fees as a fiill-time student? These fees total $93.1 have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm j ob which prevents me
from using most of these services because they are not available in the evening.
Why am I not, at least, given a choice of whether or not I want to participate in
them?
When I began my night school studies at this university two years ago, it was
because a degree program designed to assist the working student was promoted.
In many cases what I find is the evening student is penalized because they pay in
full for services that, in most cases they have no need for, but if they did, are not
available to them.
If Cal State San Marcos is planning to increase their part-time evening student
enrollment, I vigorously suggest they modify these inequities.

° N APRIL 2 2 a n d 23> 1 9 9 9 > t h e University changed its mascot from Tukwut to
Cougar. The Administration arranged for the students of CSUSM to vote on
their new mascot. Under the guise of fairness, Cougar was selected. The little known fact about the choices on
the allegedly fair vote is that after 10 years of being the mascot of the University 'Tukwut' was NOT one of the
options for mascot on the ballot. Why? Tukwut (pronounced 'too-kwoot") is apparently too difficult to pronounce.
The pioneering students of this campus were given the charge of finding a mascot for the University some ten
years ago. True to the Mission Statement of the University, the group of students sought a symbol that represented the cultural history and richness of the area. After spending some time researching, these students discovered
that the Luiseno Tribe were the original inhabitants.
In keeping with their quest to be respectful of history of the land and its people, the group of students made
contact with Villana Hyde, a Luiseno Indian. This great woman had created a dictionary of Luiseno words in
English. She presented the word Tukwut to the students as a gift. The word Tukwut in Luiseno means mountain
lion. The students, grateful for this gift, accepted the word from Villana Hyde.
By omitting Tukwut from the ballot, the administration has chosen to disregard this gift and the will of the students at CSUSM. The time has come to take a stand! While it is true that they gave the students a chance to
vote for an "official" mascot, the omission of Tukwut stands as a glaring example of insensitivity and disregard
for the students' rights to influence the culture and direction of their University. This is an act of injustice! In
the words of one administrative official on campus, "We can change things at the University and the students
wouldn't even know."
Is this what we want? Do we want things to be changed at OUR University without us knowing? The time
has come to take a stand! All we are asking for is the opportunity for a FAIR vote. Let's give Tukwut a fair
chance on a ballot. Give the Itakwut another chance to be heard.

You may have noticed a special bunch of young men and
women cleaning the rest rooms
and emptying trash cans on
campus. They are college-age
special education students from
Vista Unified School District
here to acquire vocational training. "Janitorial skills are not
what they are being taught",
said director John Hull, " but
skills that are needed in the
workplace such as responsibility, showing up on time, and the
ability to achieve their goals."
Kathy DeLar assists John in
the instruction of the ten developmentally delayed students.
She says that some days teaching can be a challenge because
of the special learning styles of
each of the students. Each stu-
iwmmmmm S ImHHHH m
dent learns differently,
essence, "it's like teaching ten
different classes every day."
Mr. Hull would like fellow
students at CSUSM to understand that these students have
the same desires as all young
adults at this age, to get a job
and be productive in society.
In the past these young people were shut away from society. Today, due to mainstreaming in schools, they are a vital,
flourishing part of our community.
"Being developmentally
delayed is not catching", Hull
stated. When you pass one of
these special students somewhere on campus, smile and
say, "Hi!"

Dr. George Vourlitis, ecologist and CSUSM professor,
stepped into the Brazilian rain
forest on Aug. 19,1999, and fulfilled a boyhood dream. He and
his
collaborators
from
Universid Federal de Mato
Grosso were there to conduct
documented research on the
effects of deforestation.
Most of us have read how "It
is thought that destruction of the
rain forest causes global warming." This hypothesis has been
floating around for most of our
lives in print and media, and yet
no one has proven it. The
opportunity came for Vourlitis
two years ago when he read a
NASA solicitation for proposals
to do the study. A US proposal
would need strong Brazilian
cooperation and collaboration to
ensure a successful outcome.
Through email communication
with ecologists living in or near
rain forests, Vourlitis found the
scientists in the Mato Grosso
area fitted the specific NASA
recommendations. They were
willing to travel to the United
States at their own expense to
learn the necessary methods and
technology.
This begins with the conversion of land to agriculture, then
to pasture, and the subsequent
return to New Forest growth.
Land conversion is hypothesized to be a major contributor

Did the school go to all this

Athletic Department Only Dr. Oberem to Receive Brakebill Award
Receives 5 Percent of Donation By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Feature Editor
CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Editor
On Jan. 9, the university
received a gift of $2.6 million
from Helen Clarke for athletic
scholarships. Clarke had previ
ously assisted the athletic depart
ment through other grants. She
died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age
of 83 and became the largest
single donor to Cal State San
Marcos, with gifts totally nearly
$4 million.
“The grant has not increased
our budget, it only provides secu
rity,” said Steve Scott, head track
coach. The endowment’s pur
pose is to support the scholar
ships for student-athletes in the
campus’ golf, cross-country and
track programs. Nonetheless,
only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil
lions will be distributed each
year, starting next fiscal year.
If the percentage of the invest
ment is more than 5 percent, the
university foundation will invest
theVest into the original princi
pal’s amount.
According to Scott, “The
University Foundation handles
all the money, the grant will
be invested and due to certain
guidelines and regulations, only
5 percent goes to the scholar
ship program.” This means that
approximately $130,000 will go
to 40 track and field, 14 golf
and 20 cross-country athletes.
The CSUSM Foundation is a
nonprofit, auxiliary organiza
tion that aims to advance the
goals of the university through

some students to leave, while
others appeared mesmerized by
the pile of confounding evidence
and paper trails that he pre

The campus lecture began
Palast’s three-day San Diego
book tour. After introductions
from CSUSM’s Democrat Club
member, political science pro

covered topics ranging from the

the skewed voting polls of Flor

Free issues of The New York
Times and The San Diego Union
Tribune will continue to be
available at newsstands around
campus until the last week of
March. This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program
brought to CSUSM by the Asso
ciated Students, Inc (ASI). The
program has been instated on a
trial basis in order to ascertain
how many students pick up and
read the paper(s).
“The decision to keep the
program depends on funding. If
we can partner up with other
offices on campus - then the
program will most likely stay.
If ASI is solely responsible for
the funding, then it depends on
cost, etc,” said Jocelyn Brown,
ASI vice president of External
Affairs.
The newspapers will be on
newsstands in the Dome corri

“A good number of people

New Library Has First Accident
CFA Ratifies Contract
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
At approximately 9:30 a.m.
Tuesday. March 19, a column
from the initial framework of
the new library fell. No one
was injured when the 85-foot-tall
steel column fell, and the struc
ture incurred only minor dam
ages, including chipped concrete
and broken wooden handrails.
The 10-ton vertical column
stands with anchor bolts and lev
eling nuts to hold it in place.
To install a horizontal beam,
the crane supporting the column
must let go of the vertical column
to pick up the horizontal beam.
When it was released, the ver
tical beam let loose. According
to Don Price, construction man
ager, “The column just wasn’t
secure enough.”
The incident could have been
extremely damaging. “If it had
fallen in any other direction, it

potentially could have hit the
crane or the retaining walls,”
said Price. “[The incident] in no
way damages the integrity of the
building”
One-half to two-thirds of the
column is no longer usable and
has been discarded. Visibly and
structurally, the damaged column
is much shorter than the rest,
but construction continues. “This
[incident] will in no way slow
down construction,” said Price.
The incident was reportedly
due to subcontractor McMahon
Steel’s technique of using only
one crane to accomplish the job.
“The technique the contractor
was using isn’t allowed any
more,” said Price, who guaran
teed it will not happen again.
The contractor must now use two
cranes. “If you look, there are
now two cranes. One crane hold
ing the column, and one crane
installing the beam,” he added.
Although the incident hasn’t
slowed down construction, it
was costly. The damage done
will cost approximately $20,000.
“[McMahon] has to pay all the
losses. It’s not coming out of the
taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said.
For now, the construction
team will install the horizontal
beams on the second and third
floors, waiting approximately
another month until the broken
column can be spliced. Accord
ing to Price, “A field splice is
very common and easy to do.”
After the splice is done, the team
will be able to complete the
framework of the fourth and fifth
floors as well as the roof.
“On a positive note, the
library should be finished by
summer 2003, and we broke
ground for the Clark Field House
today, [March 20],” said Price,
reiterating that one such inci
dent will not stop the growth of

�S exual Predator Lurking at San Diego State University
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
On March 5, 2002, the fifth
and latest attack was made by a
sexual predator roaming the area
around SDSU. The five attacks
all happened near the campus.
Two of the attacks happened at
the same apartment complex on
Montezuma Rd. The third hap
pened down the street on Mon
tezuma road, the fourth on 55th
Street, and the fifth in a grocery
store on El Cajon Boulevard.
All five women, 20 years old,
are not connected or related in
any way. According to Marc
Fox, Crime Prevention Specialist
at SDSU, “They’re isolated inci
dents, completely random and offcampus.” According to Detective
Ron Newquist, of the San Diego
Police Department, “The man
followed the women home and
entered shortly after they did,
through an unlocked door, in
three of the incidents.”
The man does not rape the
women, instead he commits
what’s called sexual battery. The
man comes from behind and
grabs the crotch and the breasts of
the women through their clothes.
All five women began scream
ing and pushing him away, which
startled the man and made him
flee.
According to Fox, “The con
cept is to increase awareness.
We are trying to increase the
use of more safety precautions.
Common sense things, like walk
ing in groups and making sure
that all doors and windows are
locked.” Fox also said that they’ve
increased the patrol around the
campus with both undercover and
uniformed police. Fox, a propo
nent of R.A.D. (a self defense
course against rape, solely for
women) said, “People are picked
on their perception of vulnerabil
ity. Sometimes a woman who
appears confident and aware of
her surroundings avoids a poten
tial attack without even knowing
it.”
“The media has depicted one
guy. But he isn’t it. We have two
other suspects pending computer
[confirmation],” said Newquist
on the progress of the case. The
perpetrator has been described as
a black male between the ages of
17-22,5’6-5’8 ,140-170 lbs., short
hair, round face, flat nose, clean
shaven and wears baggy clothes.
If you see anyone matching this
description you should call the
San Diego Police Department’s
24-hour line (619) 531-2000.
CSUSM is a relatively safe
campus, with no sexual attacks
recorded to date. . When asked
about the precautions and strat
egies that the university police
would take if a sexual predator
came to CSUSM, Chief Tom
Schultheis of the CSUSM uni
versity police said, “This would
be considered a serious situation
and we would make it a numberone priority.”
“The first thing that I would
do would be to recommend that
all our women students look into
the R.A.D. program. It’s a
class that allows women to be
self-empowered.
Second we
would work with the Sheriffs
Department and do everything
that would ultimately lead to an
arrest,” said Schultheis.
One thing that was suggested
by both Fox and Schultheis was
that all female students be more
aware of their surroundings when
alone. If for any reason you feel
unsafe when walking to your
car, both the university police of
SDSU and CSUSM have escort
services that are available 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
At CSUSM, the police can be
contacted 24 hours a day, seven
days a week on the silver phones
located throughout the campus,
at any of the emergency poles
located throughout the parking
lots and the track, or by dialing
direct 750-4567.

anger, increased health problems, may not be able to concentrate
feelings of detachment or sepa and focus. This can affect aca
demic and/or job performance.
A survivor’s attitude toward
his/her body may be negatively
affected. This change may lead
to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse,
overeating, self-mutilation, etc.)
The survivor may find it diffi
cult to trust and to be intimate
with others. She/he may not want
sexual intimacy for some time
or may engage in risky sexual
behaviors.
Common Phases:
Survivors often go through
three general phases. (The phases
do not always occur in the order
listed below.)
Phase One: This phase may
last a few days to several weeks.
The survivor may experience
.shock and severe distress, con
fusion, disorientation, anger, and
rage.
Phase Two: The survivor
often wishes to forget the inci
dent and return to “normal.” It is
common to want to suppress feel
ings in order to forget about the
incident and regain control. How
ever, the crisis is not resolved.
Phase Three: The survivor
is ready to begin to deal with
the feelings associated with the
assault/abuse. This phase usually
involves re-experiencing feelings,
thoughts, and memories of the
assault/abuse. This healing pro
cess may vary in duration. *
Throughout all three phases,
survivors need supportive people
(friends, family, loved ones.) A
survivor support group and/or a
counselor can also be of help.
How to help a survivor of sexual
assault/abuse
—
“Sometimes I hear my voice
and ifs been here, silent all
these years.7 -iori Amos.
*
Talk, listen, respect and be
emotionally available to the sur
vivor. Accept what the survivor
tells you. Accept the fact that the
assault/abuse happened. Under
stand that it is not the survivor’s
fault. Do not blame the survivor.
No one deserves to be sexually
assaulted or abused, even when
you feel poor judgments were
made by the survivor. Do not
blame yourself either. The only
person who is at fault is the person
who committed the crime.
Suggest options and actions
(medical, psychological and other
assistance), but let the survivor
decide what action to take. Let
the survivor talk about the inci
dent, but don’t force a discus
sion. Respect and understand that
temporarily the survivor may
become distant from loved ones.
Assure the survivor that you will
be available to provide support
throughout the process of recov
ery. Give the survivor time to
heal. Moderate your natural ten
dencies to become overprotective.
The survivor may need to
seek medical attention immedi
ately. You can help by encour
aging and accompanying the
survivor to obtain medical atten
tion. If the survivor wishes to
seek criminal action, this should
be done as soon as possible.

Sexual Assault Statistics
According to the victimization survey, 261,053 rapes and sexual
assaults occurred in the United States in 2001.
In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized
by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti
mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent).
Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these
reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person.
Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was
nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported
die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims
in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care,
whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime
receivedpost-rape medical care.
It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police.
Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault
knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of
attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during
a date.
Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col
lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed
rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus.
In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe
trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was
involved at the time of the incident.
Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college
women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of
the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not
family or school officials.

By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
“You are a resource to every
woman you know,” said Officer
Mario Samz. head instructor of
the Rape Aggression Defense
(R.A.D.) program, in closing at
the last of the four three-hour
training classes for Basic Rape
Aggression Defense. One major
fear many women hold is that of
being raped. It’s a realistic fear,
since a national statistic holds
that one out of every four college
women will be sexually assaulted
during her four years i n college.
One way that colleges around the
world are trying to lower those
odds is through Basic R.A.D.
Basic R.A.D was designed
specifically for women, to show
them not only how to defend
themselves if they are attacked,
but also to show them how to
prevent being raped. In 12 hours,
a deceivingly short amount of
time, participants are able to learn
about how to become more aware
of surroundings, the do’s and
don’ts of surviving an attack, and
of course, defense techniques.
I recently graduated from
the Basic R.A.D. course here on
campus. During the beginning of
the course, Barbara Sainz, the
wife of Officer Sainz as well as
a certified instructor of R.A.D.,
asked us about our expectations
of the class to ensure that we were
being realistic. Many just wanted
to feel more secure as a woman,
be it because they worked odd
hours, lived in a shady neigh
borhood, or just wanted to be a
more confident and self-reliant
woman. At the end of the course
we reviewed what we had said
to see if we reached our goals,
and I must say that not only did
we succeeded at doing so, but
we went above and beyond our
expectations.
One thing stressed through
out the course was that no men
could be involved in our train
ing, with the exception of our
male instructors. We could not
practice with a male, and males
were unable to attend any of the
four sessions. “Unfortunately,
it is your boyfriend, husband or
even your friend that you might
one day have to defend yourself
against,” said Sainz.
R.A.D. Class.

The course was not only fun,
but truly effective. The tech
niques we were taught are func
tional and for the most part easy to
do. The key to the course is prac
tice - practicing the techniques as
well as practicing saying no. As
fun as it was, we were still able
to take away much more than any
of us expected. “We’re not sup
posed to be tough. It’s good to
know I can defend myself ... I
learned much more than I thought
I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy,
a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware
of everything now,” said Tracey
Veres, a freshman at CSUSM.
The final class meeting is a
simulation. “You will be able to
practice everything you learn. If
you freeze this is the place to do
it, so we can coach you through it
and hopefully prevent you from
freezing if a situation were to
really occur,” said Sainz. During
the simulation, the two instruc
tors, Officer Mario Sainz and
Officer Marlin Estepa, as well
as retired Officer John Smithers,
an instructor of instructors of
R.A.D., all suited up and simu
lated attacking;us so we could
practice what we learned. Bar
bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith
ers, both certified instructors,
made sure that the scenarios were
safe and that we were using the
techniques practiced to our full
advantage.
At least half of the class was
so excited about their end results
that they want to be able to
teach women the art of R.A.D.
by becoming R.A.D. instructors.
These women also spoke of form
ing a club that would enable them
to continue practicing together
and promote the awareness of
sexual assault to other women on
campus. “We could post flyers
and have a booth like all the other
clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior
at CSUSM. “We could try to
hold sessions to educate people,
try to convince other women to
take R.A.D. and practice ” said
Nowothy.
R.A.D. is held at least three
times a year on the CSUSM
campus. “We try to hold as many
as possible, but space is limited,”
said Sainz. The fee to attend the
Basic R.A.D. course is only $20
and for this cost, any woman
at any age is able to attend as
many times as they’d like, with
no limitation on visits. During the
summer, an advanced course will
be offered, which enhances basic
skills and teaches participants
how to handle certain weapons.
According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM
who took the course, “Previous
to R.A.D, I thought of myself
as a woman who carried herself
with confidence and could react
in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself
with confidence and can react
well in a threatening situation. It
confirms your ability to defend
yourself; and anyone who takes
it has the tools to never be a
victim.”
CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) attended the California Higher Edu
cation Student Summit’s annual confer
ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby
against student tuition* fee increases and
to support the Facilities Bond Measure.
The forum, held this year in Sacramento,
was open to all California State Univer
sity (CSU) student representatives. The
attendees participated in leadership work
shops, listened to guest speakers and vis
ited with legislators who represent the San
Diego area.
ASI members were informed during
the conference that the budget deficit Cal
ifornia faces “will require many [educa
tional] programs across the state to be
cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord
ing to the California State Student Asso
ciation (CSSA) press release. During their
visits with members of several legislative
offices, ASI members strongly urged those
in power not to increase student fees.
“If tuition fees are increased, this will
decrease accessibility and affordability
for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI
vice president of External Affairs, who
attended the conference.
. A similar situation occurred in the
early 1990s, during the last budget crisis,
and, according to the CSSA press release,
fees for the CSU “skyrocketed and many
students were forced to delay or cancel

their plans to attend a post-secondary
institution.”
“We’re afraid that can happen again,”
said Brown.
ASI created a letter-writing campaign
and sent each California senator a letter,
urging the protection of school budgets,
noting the adverse affect California stu
dents sustained in the early 1990s because
of budget cuts. According to the ASI
letter, “It is a known fact that a budget cut
of any percentage would jeopardize the
education of the CSU’s 380,000 currently
enrolled students.”
The tuition increase has not been pro
posed, nor is it known if and when it
will be. “If legislators are committed to
improving California, we can hope that
they would try to increase, not decrease,
education spending,” said Erik Roper, a
member of ASI’s External Affairs Com
mittee, who attended the conference.
The other issue ASI lobbied for was
the Higher Education Facilities Bond Mea
sure. This bond was proposed to provide
funds for the improvement of CSU cam
puses. This multi-year bond will “enable
the CSU to fund projects on a lump-sum
basis, which will allow campuses to map
out the planning, design and construction
phases of a project all at one time,” accord
ing to a CSSA press release.
“We can continue to grow if we
make higher education a priority, espe
cially with the current construction taking
place on campus,” Roper said.

�Faculty Member Goes H ollywood - Josephine
K eating Writes Screenplay D epicting Navajo Life
By SYBILLE HERWIG
Pride Staff Writer
Josephine Keating, professor
and student teacher advisor for the
College of Education at Cal State
San Marcos, has attracted Holly
wood producer Travis Clark with
her screenplay “Spider Woman”
- a story about the cultural rich
ness and mysteries of the Navajo
people in New Mexico. Keating
and Clark plan to shoot the movie
for the big screen this summer.
Along with her Navajo friend
Dolores Brown, Keating has been
working on “Spider Woman” for
a few years now. “For a long
time I’ve thought to do a story
about Navajo women, because
the women that I’ve worked with
in Thoreau (New Mexico) were
just so impressive.” Keating, who
has written many stage plays,
explained that the motivation for
writing a screenplay was based
on the simple fact that, ‘‘you
really can’t separate Navajo cul
ture from the land. They go
together really intimately.”
Growing up in a 100-percent
white suburb of Sacramento in the
1950s, Keating felt an early urge
to explore cultural diversity. Her
intense interest in Native Ameri
can culture emerged throughout
her three years of volunteer work
on an Indian mission in central
Washington. Not only did she find
passion for her work, but also for
her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu
cation teacher at CSUSM. Their
romance soon resulted in mar
riage, and together they decided
to change setting and follow
their friends to America’s big
gest Indian reservation in New
Mexico to teach at a Navajo High
School. For 22 years they lived
and worked on the reservation in
a little town named Thoreau.
The fictional story “Spider
Woman,” which is set in the same
New Mexican location in which
Keating used tp work and live,
is centered around three gener
ations of women in a Navajo
family, although, according to
Keating, “there are lots of guys
in it, too.” The main character
is a young woman in her twen
ties, who was adopted by a white
family when she was a baby, and
who later decides to go back to her
roots and find her Navajo family.
The storyline is reflected in the
title of the screenplay: “Spider
Woman.” According to Navajo
mythology, Keating explained,
there is a very powerful entity
called spider woman, who lives
on spider rock in Arizona. She is
part of the Navajo creation story,
in which she helps two lost broth
ers find their father. In Keating’s
screenplay, it is the young Navajo
woman who travels to Arizona in
order to approach spider women
for help to find her family.
Keating proudly explained,
“We’ve been dealing with a pro
fessional producer who agreed to
produce the movie a year and a
half ago. He saw the script and
really liked it.” Clark, whose tele
vision and film credits include
“A Man Called Hawk” and “The
Court-Martial of Jackie Robin
son,” has been inlhe business for
25 years. According to Keating,
he got tired of the whole orga
nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to
go independent a few years ago.
“We were just lucky enough to
get our script to him at a point
where he was looking for proj
ects,” Keating said.
Clark promoted the script
among many friends in the media
business, all of who agreed to be
part of the project. At that point,
Keating realized that her dream
was about to become reality and
that she needed to start raising
some seed money. “In order to
attach people to a project and
do some other very basic preproduction and put together a
business plan, you need some
money!”
Friends, family, co-workers
and other teachers in the com
munity were the initial investors,
and so Keating was able to raise
an initial $ 80,000, which covered
the business plan and enabled her
to sign director Charles Mills and
a couple of actors.
For Mills, who has been a
cinematographer for many years
in the entertainment industry,
the screenplay “Spider Woman”
will be his first directing job.
Mills surely will be able to draw
from his big-budget studio expe
riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II
and the independent film Boyz in
the Hood, for which he received
awards for cinematography.
Keating said, “We haven’t
cast any of the Navajo parts yet
and, of course, that’s going to be
the vast majority. But we have
cast two of the supporting roles
that are non-Navajo.” One of
the more recognizable actors is
Richard Grieco, who did a lot
of television in the 80s, includ
ing the hit-series “Booker” and
“21 Jump Street.’’ Because of
his recent work in many indepen
dent movies, Grieco found fame
and fortune in Europe. Although
he is better known abroad than
in the States, Keating explained,
“One of the considerations we
look for in putting together the
business plan is to bring people
on board that, when we go to sell
the distribution rights for Europe
and Japan and so on, there are
names that those distributors rec
ognize.”
Another supporting role has
been given to actor David
Strathaim, who gained his work
ing experience in dozens of
movies and TV sedes, including
the film L.A. Confidential.
While Keating plans to begin
shooting in New Mexico this
summer, she and her production
team are still faced with a lot
of fundraising work in order to
cover the movie’s costs. Keating
explained, “the two things we are
working on are a distribution deal
and the financing. To actually
finish pre-production, shoot the
movie, do post-production and
some marketing, we figure the
budget for that is going to be $1.2
million.”
She also emphasized the
amazing location of the produc
tion location. “The area we are
going to shoot is just absolutely
magnificent. It’s gorgeous!”
Keating has confidence in
“Spider Woman’s” success on the
big screen: “We’ve got two name
actors signed and all the other
people in the business plan have
resumes as long as your arm.
They are just really experienced
people.”

By MIKE PARDINI
Pride Staff Writer
Want to get away for the
weekend but don’t have the cash
for Hawaii? Well, how about
Santa Barbara? I know what
you’re thinking. Santa Barbara.
Who wants to drive four hours
each way? Well you don’t have
to. You can take Amtrak for as
little as $15 each way, which is
relatively the same as gas, maybe
even cheaper.
Amtrak offers things that a
car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil
lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and
your choice of many alcoholic
beverages, as well as food. The
train is a great substitute for driv
ing to Santa Barbara for many
reasons. One particular reason
that jumps to my mind is LA
traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not
only LA traffic, but you also get
great coastal views the whole
way up, that may include views
of dolphins and, at this time O f
year, whales.
The best way to get started
on your weekend adventure is to
plan if you’re going to stay for
one or two nights. If you’re going
to stay two nights, definitely try
and leave as early as possible on
Friday. If not, leave early Sat
urday morning. Once yOu get
to Santa Barbara the possibilities
are endless.
If you like beaches, I suggest
that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across
the street and go to Carpinteria
State Beach. If you choose to do
this, you will have about two to
three hours to kill, which can
be spent on the beach or walk
ing around the little downtown.
After that time, you can catch the
later train and continue on your
A
downtown mall, art galleries and
trendy clothing shops. If. that’s
not your scene, check out out a
matinee, that only costs $4.50,
in the plaza with your student
ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will
turn into night, and this is when
the real fun starts.
Santa Barbara’s downtown
goes off on Friday and Saturday
nights. There are 18 bars and
five clubs on State Street. No
matter what your style, whether
you like to get dressed up or
not, State Street has something to
BREAK?
Santa Barbara has something for
everyone. My idea is to get out of
San Diego for the weekend and
enjoy everything that the Califor
nia Coast has to offer.
The trains leave Solana Beach
daily at four different times, any
where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m.
Solana Beach is the only Amtrak
station in San Diego County that
lets you leave your car for free
for up to one week. All trains
I
k
e
take approximately five hours to
reach Santa Barbara.
For exact arrival and depar
ture times, call 1-800-USARAIL. For cheap motels and
hotels in Santa Barbara I suggest

always type in Cheap Motels &

The train lets you off right on
State Street, which is the main

State Street is 13 blocks long and

trendy clubs such as Joe’s Cafe,

upscale places have covers rang

pretty comparable to downtown
San Diego, and if you want to go

going to have to dress like it.

If so, you may be able to provide information pertinent to a class
action law suit which has been filed against Legoland. The class action
alleges that over the past couple of years, Legoland has sold “collector
cups” with a beverage in them, for approximately $10.00. The suit
also alleges that in most instances where these cups were sold, the
purchaser was informed that as long as they kept the cup, they could
return to Legoland for lifetime refills, at no additional cost. The suit
further alleges that also in most instances, when the purchaser returned
another day for a refill, the purchaser would be told that the refill policy
was only good for one day. The action is brought on behalf of all
purchasers of such cups who believe they were denied what Legoland is
alleged to have promised when Legoland sold the cup.
This notice is being placed by the Law Firm of Pettersen & Bark,

matter, and whether the information you have hurts the class action,

From a suburban family and you never really had to
work.
And you tell me that we've got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are).
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain;
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain.
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain?

Everyone says we've come such a long, long way.
We're civilized, isn't that nice?
We've gotten so smart;
We know how to blow the whole world apart.
But when it comes to the simple things
(Like living together). . . HA!
Why'd we have to come all this way?
Big brother's watching, we watch him back;
We see right through his disguise.
He tries to scare us, with angry words,
But we all know that they're lies.
Whole world is waiting
Just see the fear in their eyes.

�Surf Team ends First Regular Season
JOY WHITMAN
for The Pride
The Cal State San Marcos’
Surf team competed in its last
regular season event on Feb. 24
in Huntington Beach. Key surf
ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who
earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan
McHenry, who earned 11 points.
The team placed seventh
overall with a total of 23 points.
Despite a lingering cold, Dema-
rino, the team’s bodyboarder,
won his first heat and also
claimed his first victory since his
return to competition. He per
formed well in following rounds
and advanced to finals, earning
third place overall in the College
Bodyboarding Division.
Fairbanks looked great in his
first two rounds of the longboard
competition and received two
consecutive first places. In round
three, Fairbanks just missed the
transfer spot and did not advance
to finals.
McHenry performed well for
the first two rounds but just
could not get any open waves to
help advance him to round three.
Despite the absence of Captain
Dave Kincannon, who has been
out for the past two competi
tions with a broken leg, and the
absence of Julie Russell, who had
prior commitments, the CSUSM
team placed 8th overall in the
regular season.

Saint Patrick’s Day entailed
drinking in more sun rays, waves
and wins than alcohol for the Cal
State San Marcos’ Surf Team.
The State Championships for the
NSSA College Team Season was
held on March 17 at Churches
Beach in San Clemente, located
just north of the San Onofre
power plant. It was .an exciting
competition between rivals Sad
dleback and Mira Costa Com
munity Colleges, but two top
seeds helped Saddleback clinch
the title.
Contributing to Saddleback’s
success, Coach Mark Mackleroy
replaced two members of his
team with exceptional standouts
who regularly compete for the
Pro Surfing Tour of America
(PSTA) between the regular and
postseason.
The first round was a little
intimidating for CSUSM, since
only seven of nine members were
available to compete, but the
team pulled through with the
talent of those who did compete
and placed 8th out of 18 teams,
which was good enough to qual
ify for nationals.
For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks
and Scott Chebagia each earned
12 points, but still missed advanc
ing from the third round into
the quarter finals. Bodyboarder
George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter
rific performances and advanced
to finals, placing third and fourth,
respectively.
The CSUSM team earned a
total of 48 points, which was not
far from the fifth-place finisher
UCSB Vector, who racked up 56
points overall.
After placing in the top 12
in the State Championship, the
surf team has earned a spot
in the Nationals, which will be
held over the summer in Dana
Point and will see schools from
across the country compete for
the national title.
With the predicted return
of shortboarder Dave Kincan
non and Julie Russel, competing
in the girl’s round, the CSUSM
team could easily tack on an
additional 20 or more points,
making fourth place at nationals
a very reachable goal. Congratu
lations, team, on a very success
ful firstseason and keep up the
good work.

Freshman Jason E. Williams
is proudly representing Cal State
San Marcos as one of the best
track and field hurdlers in the
nation. Williams has recently
competed in several meets, con
tending with some of the top
schools and competitors in the
country.
Williams placed third in the
400-meter intermediate hurdles
at the Trojan Invitational at USC,
with a time of 53.43 seconds.
This mark qualified him for the

insisted Williams.

placed first in both the Benny
Brown Invitational at Cal State
Fullerton with a mark of 52.52
and at the San Diego State Uni
versity Aztec Invitational with a
52.97. In the California/Nevada
State Championship, Williams
finished with a 52.10 mark,
which placed him second.
Williams has been invited to
the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut,
which he is really looking for
ward to. “All the top colleges
and elite runners in the world
will be there,” said Williams.
Williams also faces the chal
lenge of improving his times,
because he does not always com
pete with high-level competitors.
At this point, CSUSM is not yet
well known for its athletics.
“The great thing about track
is that it doesn’t matter what

you put up a good time. People

I miss practice to study for a

make up for it,” said Williams.
His coach Wes Williams (no
relation) has. been an inspiration
to him and is the major reason
why he transferred from Colo
rado State to run for the Cou
gars. He received a scholarship
at Colorado State, but for per
sonal reasons and because of the
cold weather, Williams decided
to come to San Marcos to be
trained by his new mentor, coach
Williams. His ultimate goal is
to at least make it to the Olym
pic trials in 2004. At the tender
age of 20, Williams is already

said Barbara Bashein, who serves

“The team this year is a

sprinters this year,” said Assis
tant Coach Wes Williams Jr.
Returning sprinters includeAnthony Blacksher, Lucy Downey
and Amy Cutshaw. They are not
only returning, but have been
with the team since it started
~
three years ago. “They make the
team more like a team,” said Wil

The sprinters count with a
great athlete from the Colorado

Williams, has already qualified
for the NAIA Championships.
“He is an outstanding athlete and
has a very promising future,”
said Wes Williams. In addition,
Autumn Wright has also had a
great performance and currently
has the best time on the West

Coaches often times have
great goals for their teams and
CSUSM is not an exception.
Coach Williams wants to have
15-17 sprinters qualified for the
NAIA Championship.
And
Coach Steve Scott wants the

The Pride Literary Supplement
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking student writing representing
inquiry and research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM.
Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student
writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take
writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much
as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both
exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read
with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility
is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives.

Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writ
ing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged.
Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical
terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be
parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate
academic discipline.
The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation
of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff
and faculty contributions will also be considered.
Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an
alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions.
For judging and layout purposes:
Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail,
phone number, and major or graduate field of study to:
The Pride Mailbox
“Student and Residential Life” Office
Commons 207
Also* E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an elec
tronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or
disks will not be returned.

URGENT HEALTH NOTICE
TO ALL NON-MANAGEMENT CSUSM EMPLOYEES
I was repeatedly denied health benefits while on disability leave, extending into retire
ment. This was immoral and possibly illegal. *
I urge each of you to contact your benefits administrator and request, no, DEMAND, a
sworn, notarized statement stating that your benefits will not be denied while off work for
any reason. Do not be fooled by anybody saying, “ We are here to help you.”
My health was bad during these denials, is poor now, and is unknown for the future.
It is very depressing not being able to see a doctor and/or psychiatrist and/or to get
medications when desperately needed.
If you are contemplating litigation against CSUSM for any reason, I will volunteer, for
free, as an expert witness, concerning my relationship with CSUSM from 8/20/92 to
present.
REMEMBER: Your health and the health of your loved ones may be in jeopardy. Please
contact your union rep as well.
WHAT IF?
If you are a female non-management employee or a male employee with a spouse or
otherwise, what would happen if you were denied medical benefits, as was done to me?
If pregnant, this could result in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or with a newborn who is
critically ill, a premature death. Either way, in my personal opinion, this would be
IMMORAL MANSLAUGHTER!!!!
I re-urge each of you to get a sworn, notarized statement from your benefits administrator,

Cougars Claw Their Way into Nationals
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
The Cal State San Marcos
Track and Field team is winding
down its season with their final
meet, the (NAIA) National Asso
ciation of Intercollegiate Ath
letics Nationals on May 23rd,
2002, in Olathe, Kansas. Fifteen
Cougars qualified for the NAIA
Nationals out of a forty-person
team roster.
Junior Kris Houghton qual
ified for the Nationals in the
Men’s 5000 Meter Run with a
personal best and school record of
14:26. Katherine Niblett, a Soph
omore, ranks 9th in the NAIA
and received her qualifying mark
for Nationals by four seconds and
her personal best in the Women’s
5000 Meter Run by over 40 sec
onds.
Head Coach and former
Olympian Steve Scott set a goal
in the beginning of the season to
have at least seven team individ
ual qualifiers for the nationals,
yet an astounding fifteen quali
fied. “If you set the bar high,
people respond,” Coach Scott
insists. “Everyone that is going
has a legitimate shot at being an
All-American. If we bring back
seven All-Americans, it would be
T he E uro and You:

a tremendous feat for our Univer
sity,” Scott said.
There will be one last oppor
tunity for additional runners (who
have not qualified) to meet the
standards for the Nationals at the
Claremont Classic on the week
end of May 11.
In order for a runner to qual
ify, they must achieve a certain
standard. An “A” is a score that
automatically qualifies the runner
for the NAIA Nationals and a “B”
is a provisional qualifier. “There
are still five people that are capa
ble of qualifying and have a good
chance, “ Scott explained.
In previous years, Coach
Scott would have taken three
men and three women who made
the B provisional standard to
the Nationals, consequently “with
budget cut backs we decided to
only take the automatic qualifiers
and no provisional,” Scott said.
Robbie McClendon is a pro
visional qualifier for the Nation
als in the Men’s 1500 Meter Run
and 3000 Meter Steeple Chase as
a junior. “This weekend I have
a good chance qualifying,” said
McClendon. “Most people don’t
know that we have one of the best
teams in San Diego. It would be
good for people to cheer on some
good competition and come out
and watch. (The team) has a lot
of different people that make it
fun and exciting. We have a good
time out on the track. Having
a good time makes it so much
better to go out and run.”
NAIA qualifiers are Renee
Mac Donald, a senior; juniors
Omar Zavala, Anthony Blacksher,
Amy Cutshaw, Lucy
Downey, Kris Houghton, Jason
Williams, Brian Sullivan, Jes

Jackson, Abril Jimenez, Kath

Europe’s new currency the Euro, and its

as well as social changes that followed
the implementation of the new money.
Welcomed by Astrid Ronke, German

handing out some banknotes and coins,

Two weeks ago, I set up an

I still had a few days to

He explained that the launch of the
Euro as shared currency among 12 differ
ent European countries “marks the largest
monetary changeover in world history...
The banknotes and coins of the single Cur
rency of the European Monetary Union
entered circulation on January 1, 2002.”
Although, since Jan. 1,1999, the Euro has
been an institutional currency for banks
and other financial institutions with a fixed
exchange rate.
Wolff said what an enormous task it
was for the banks to exchange the money
and that “funny enough, luxury goods
like boats and big cars were suddenly all
paid in cash in December” to avoid the
exchange hustle. Every European, who
did not exchange old currency until Feb.
28, 2002, now has to address the politi
cally independent European Central Bank
in Frankfurt, Germany to do so. He also
addressed the amazing amount of 14.24
billion notes that had to be printed. “ If
placed end to end the notes would reach
to the moon 5 times forth and back,”
said Wolff. He also gave the historical
background of the Euro. He said, “The
launch of the Euro was a combination
o f a decades long process.” With the
establishment of the European Monetary
System in 1979, European currencies were
from Grant Middle School, a professional
juggler, dancers from Georgia’s school of
dance, and a demonstration by representa
tives from the Escondido skate park.

linked together and by 1986 the Single
European Act implemented a single Euro
pean market, meaning one trade zone.
Wolff said that Europe eventually achieved
the ambitious goals set by a Treaty in
1992, which “called for full economic and
monetary union by 1999.”
To express the Euro’s global influence
on economics, Wolff cited the Chief Econ
omist of the L.A. Times James Flanagan,
who analyzed the recent rise of the Euro
and fall of the dollar as a signal for “global
transition and a decline in global depen
dence of the U.S. economy.” He said the
Euro’s ambition is to create “the largest,
most powerful economic area’’ in which
political unification and one big trade zone
will benefit European price stability and
budgetary discipline. The design of the
Euro was determined by a competition
launched in 1996, He said the winner was
an Austrian, whose work was selected in a
public survey.
This is the second time Wolff has
come to speak at Cal State San Marcos.
“We [the German Consulate] always like
to come here and give students the oppor
tunity to learn more about what is going
on in Europe,” said Wolff. His enthusi
asm about communicating the matter was
shown by his ability to engage the audi
ence in a lively discussion.

�Is It Getting
Hot in Here?
What Is Global
Warming Anyway?
By CHAD MITCHAM
For The Pride
Solar energy (sunlight) is
responsible for all life on earth.
This energy comes to earth in
the form of visible light that
penetrates the atmosphere easily.
Once in the atmosphere, clouds
and the earth’s surface absorb
some of this energy. The rest of
the energy is re-radiated by the
earth’s surface as infrared energy.
It is this re-radiated energy being
trapped by molecules in the lower
atmosphere that gives rise to the
warming of surface temperatures
on the planet, also known as the
“greenhouse effect”. Without the
greenhouse effect, much of life
as we know it could not exist on
this planet, including our life.
Certain molecules are better
at trapping heat energy than
others. Most of the molecules
responsible for the greenhouse
effect occur naturally in our
atmosphere in the form of gases
such as water vapor, methane,
carbon dioxide, and ozone. For
millions of years these gases have
been formed, removed by natural
processes, and reformed in a del
icate balance, giving us the cli
mate of our planet.
The gases regulate the ratio
of solar energy that reaches the
earth’s surface to the amount
that leaves the earth’s near-surface atmosphere (or troposphere)
on its way back out to space.
Humans disrupt this process by
creating new greenhouse gases
and producing, in too great of
quantity, greenhouse gases that
already exist. These gases add
to the amount of radiated energy
being trapped on its way back
out.
Most of the gases responsible
for trapping heat occur as a result
of the combustion (burning) of
organic compounds, most impor
tant to us, fossil fuels. When these
fuels are burned they release
(among other things) carbon diox
ide and water vapor, both green
house gases. Water vapor is
regulated by the hydrologic cycle
of the planet and is therefore
mostly out of human control
(unless we consider the human
effects due to deforestation, etc.).
Carbon dioxide only constitutes
0.036 percent of troposphere
gases naturally, but because of our
ability to generate large amounts
globally by using automobiles as
ing to try and reduce the global
emissions of carbon dioxide. The
ways in which this will be done

As adolescent artists such as
Lil Bow Wow, Lil Romeo, and
Sammie continue to pave the way
for young artists into the main
stream, Corey may have captured
the formula to follow in their
footsteps.
Corey’s debut album consists
of 13-tracks utilizing the typical,
radio/commercial, and R&B for
mula, comparable to the work of
Another Bad Creation or Imma
ture. Some of the standouts were
songs like “What?” “All I Do,”
“MVP,” and “Ghetto Superstar.”
The
mes
sages contained
in his music talk
about the percep
tions of reality
as an adolescent
and romance issues such as love.
In general he’s just having fun.
In addition, cameo appearances
by Lil Romeo, Lil Reena, Shaq,
and Michael Jackson add flavor
to his production.

about
German
Professor’s
Departure
Five years ago, Astrid Ronke
came to Gal State San Marcos, as a
part time professor, and started the
German program here. German
isn’t a popular language to learn
in San Diego or at CSUSM. Why
would a student take a language
that doesn’t guarantee it will
allow you to complete the lan
guage requirement for gradua-r
tion? The answer is the innova
tive teaching methods and vibrant
persona of Frau (as she is affec
tionately referred to by her stu
dents). Astrid Ronke has built a
program to be proud of.
Small as it may be, the
German program has had as many
as 70 students and 4 courses.
Frau acts as faculty advisor of
the German club, one of the more
active clubs at CSUSM. She also
wrote the proposal for the newly
passed German minor. Her per
sistence is why students take her
class, and her style is why they
stay.
Students can easily tell
between professors who care and
those who don’t; she is one who
cares, and we appreciate that. Her
students nominated her for the
Brakebill Distinguished Profes
sor award. Some have asked
her to write their recommenda
tions because she is the one who
knows them best, and others have
asked her .to hand them their
diploma because she is the one
who inspires them most. We will
miss you Frau.
Your departure is hard for
us, because it wasn’t on the best
of terms. It left us wondering,
how could someone we respect so
much be so disrespected? That
is the life of a part time professor
without a PhD, even if you have

working with Frau Ronke as VP
and President of the German Club.
Through her efforts, CSUSM has
been brought a little bit of the
German culture. We have seen

that Cal State San Marcos

is not guaranteed for tenureline faculty but an end-result
of a rigorous review process
that demands excellence in all

• Since its inception, the

hire tenure-line faculty for
all the languages it offers.
It has recently completed the
search for a tenure-line fac

�io Possible Solutions
for io Complaints
By GEORGE BURGESS JR.
Pride Staff Writer
1. The Computer Lab
The computer lab and class
rooms smell like feet, that
includes my feet. Please, can we
get some fresh air around here?
I understand there are safety and
maintenance hurdles to overcome
with the windows, yet I fail to
see how opening a window is
enabling suicide. Can we try sui
cide prevention classes; maybe
increase our awareness of the
signs that indicate suicidal
thoughts? Does locking win
dows, which creates hot and
stuffy classrooms, eliminate the
fifty other places on campus one
could commit suicide? Preven
tive education might serve to
be more beneficial both on and
off campus, while creating a
more bearable and less conta
gious environment.
As for the computer printing
system let’s cut our losses and
move on. It is slow, unreliable
and inefficient. There are only
two possible reasons why it’s still
in existence. One, the people
with the authority to make pos
itive change don’t realize what
a disaster printing is, or two,
they don’t care about the massive
inconvenience it is to CSUSM’s
students.
The solution? EZ print.
Track our printing and send us
one easy bill at the end of each
semester. At the bare minimum,
install a change machine in the
computer lab and freshen it up.
Is that really so much to ask?
2. Parking
I’ll give three to one odds
that sometime over the next two
years an expensive new parking
proposal is implemented. It will
most likely be slipped in for a
vote right after a break or summer
recess, before we can rattle our
cages in protest. This is exactly
what took place over winter break
and came dangerously close to
happening.
The solution? Hold dear to
the fact that future construction
costs are not our responsibility
and demand University interven
tion. Parldng Services is a pri
vate organization that can’t match
the University’s growth without
blowing the cost of parking into
the stratosphere. Don’t let the
University stand quietly by and
let Parking Services take the heat

“I hope I die on-screen,” said
Jackson. “We know that’s what
happens. There are only two Jedi
left when the first Star Wars starts,
Obi-Wan and Yoda. Unless the
rest of us went on vacation, we’re
dead. I just hope I have a great
death scene. That’s what acting’s
all about —dying great!”
“George has told me nothing.
Absolutely nothing,” said Hayden
to entertainment reporters at Skywalker Ranch, Lucas’ home. “I’ll
have more mechanical parts in the
next one for sure. I’m told I might
get to sport the dark helmet. I’d
like to kill Mace Windu. I love
Sam. He’s supposed to be one of
the most powerful Jedi.” But for
the fans that fell for Padme and
the romance of EPII, prepare for
quite a difference in EPIII. “I’m
going to be with child,” said Portman. “The next one, according
to George, is going to be a trag
edy., It’s going to be sad, but I’m
looking forward to having more to
do.”
Yet, EPII was no stranger
to tragedy what with death and
destructioq sent out by villains to
for the parking dilemma.
3. Smoking
Many of us love debating
about this one, but it really
shouldn’t be such a big deal.
Someone, whether it is a
student group or staff member,
please revamp the locations of
the smoking areas. We should
give equal consideration to the
rights and convenience of smok
ers and non-smokers. Currently,
there appears to be a lot of gray
area regarding where it’s accept
able to smoke.
The solution? Mark the
smoking areas as clearly as non
smoking areas and hopefully we
can put this issue behind us.
4. Attitude
How many times have we
heard that we as students aren’t
getting involved and are apa
thetic? Personally, I don’t believe
this.
Just because the actions of
our organizations and individu
als don’t make the cover of the

are nonexistent. There are some
true activists in our community
who spend countless hours orga

does anything” act because it
isn’t true. I will concede that

/ ‘Freestyle Session
M ixtape Volume 2”
By MARLINO BITANGA
Pride Staff Writer
Taking you back to the
roots of hip hop flava is DJ
Fingaz who brings you “Free
style Session Mixtape Volume
2,” which is a compilation of
various artists from Special Ed,
to Das FX, to KRS-ONE.
This CD allows you to
capture the old school, under
ground hip hop joints that you
probably didn’t pick up on vinyl
or could find in the stores over
a decade ago. The production
work of DJ Fingaz uses a col
laboration of blends, scratches
and slams to hold this compi
lation together. Likewise, the
programming and music selec
tion of songs keep you tuned in
and attentive to see what he’ll
play next. “Freestyle Session
Mixtape Volume 2” is a good
choice for the hip hop lovers
out there or for music enthusi
asts that want to take a musical
trip into history. I’m sure that
Volume 3 will be out soon.
Graduation Blues
So, there I was, sitting at
my computer at home, working
on several projects like all good
little students at this point in the
semester, especially when it is
the last semester: three papers
and a group presentation; fig
uring out exactly who to send
graduation announcements to*
holding three different IM con
versations at the same time with
friends from local areas to Paki
stan, and what should arrive in
the mail today but something in
what appeared suspiciously like
an invitation envelope from our
beloved alma mater.
So, I’m thinking as I open
this, “Who would be inviting
me to something?” as if I was
someone special at the univer
sity. After opening this mis
sive, a surprise beyond measure
awaited me !
Did I say beyond measure?
Well, I guess so, because I’ll
never be able to figure out the
cost of printing this item, includ
ing the RSVP card, envelope,
invitation and special insert, and
who paid for it (was it the raised
student fees or some special fund
the president keeps stashed in
his suit coat or something? I
don’t know!). Oh, I’m sorry. I
forgot to say what it was. Well,
there in black and white (I think
the official invitation was in offwhite eggshell, but what do I
know? I’m colorblind) was an
official invitation to the Com
mencement Open House in honor
of all of us soon-to-be graduates
at Cal State San Marcos.
Wasn’t this great? An official
invite to bring my family and
friends and show them around
the campus where I have spent
so much time and blood, sweat
and tears (well, it sure seemed
like it some of the time!) for the
last few years. I would be proud
to do that, especially since it
was going to be an bpen house,
which I understand to mean that
there will be faculty and staff all
around the campus with exhibits
that my friends and family can
talk to and all that kind of staff!
Maybe even some refresh
ments or something. Well, at
least the Dome might be open.
And then came the “oops!”
I read the times and date of this
wonderful event. Of course, I’m
sure that ALL of you graduat
ing seniors and post-graduates
received one of these, so you
don’t need to be told. But, for
the sake of everyone, since we
want to make sure that everyone
is included as per the mission
statement of good ol’ CSUSM,
I’ll let everyone else know. The
event is scheduled for Saturday,
June 1, 2002, from 10 AM to 3
PM.
Okay, okay. Hold on, now!
Many of you out there in reader
land will think that this is a good
time for the graduates. And in
years past, it just might have
been. Of course, that was when
graduation ceremonies were held
on campus. Ah, and there’s the
rub this year. Graduation is not
on campus or anywhere close
to campus this year. I would
have to say that whoever planned
this wonderful event didn’t quite
think it all the way through.
Be patient, dear reader, for I
will explain. First, the gradua
tion ceremonies for this year are
being held in Del Mar, approx
imately 30 miles away from
campus. Has anybody traveled
on 78 and Interstate 5 on a Sat
urday lately, especially to Del
Mar?
While not as bad traffic-wise
as a weekday, there is the perma
nent slowdown when you reach
La Costa, to say nothing of
the delay at the 78/1-5 merge,
or any accidents that might
cause additional slowdown. And
even though there is a minimal
amount of surface street travel,
there are still the delays caused
by traffic and traffic lights. So,
comfortably* one might expect
at least an hour or more to make
the transit from CSUSM to Del
Mar. Oh, I need to wait for my
friends and relatives also, hoping
they don’t get lost. Since some
of them may be from out of the
area and not familiar with the
freeway system in our area, it
would be good to make sure they
can keep up with me.
A further delay, you say?
Possibly. See, I’m trying to plan
this whole event down to the last
detail. So, keep in mind that 10
AM to 3 PM time frame.
I would lik§ for everyone to
attend this open house. Since
I happen to be a Liberal Arts
major that means that I am going
to have to be at the Del Mar
Fairgrounds at least 30-45 min
utes before my ceremony begins,
which is at 1 PM. Of course,
that means giving myself (and
family and friends, so we’ll stip
ulate that they are all with me the
whole time) extra time to find a
parking place, after paying for
it, of course, and then time to
walk in from the parking lot and
find out exactly where I am sup
posed to be and to ensure that
my guests get seated. Oh, did I
mention that CjSUSM is a com
muter campus, and that we all
have to drive from some dis
tance to the campus from some
place?
Now, I live in Fallbrook, and
the fastest route I have found
to the campus from my house
takes an average 45 minutes to
drive safely within limits that
my guests can also follow. I have
friends that drive in from up
in Riverside County and down
from Ramona and other distant
places. And I want to leave
time for my guests to get the
full benefit of the open house.
That would make the most sense,
wouldn’t it? C’mon, admit it, you
know how you hate being rushed
around on a tour and how rude it
is to only spend a minute or two
talking to someone, like maybe
your favorite professors who just
might be at the campus. Won’t
they? Sure they will! Unless
they are required to be at the
graduation ceremony.
Gee, I wonder if the facili
ties folks and police are going
to be the only ones at the open
house? Think they’ll just unlock
everything and leave it that way?
No? Guess not. Gotta pay that

• When the Department offers a pro

instruction be of the same quality that
students expect to get on campus, during
the regular academic year.
I hope that by considering the above,

overtime. So, since I graduate at 1 PM,
and I should leave the campus at approxi
mately 11 AM, or no later than 11:15 to
insure there is enough time to get through
the traffic, find parking, walk in, locate
everything, get the cap and gown on,
check in, get anything else like an honors
stole to put on your gown for the cer
emony, and be ready to file into the cor
rect spot (phew!), that leaves us about 1
hour for our leisurely enjoyment of the
campus.
Now, l ean do this, as can my guests.
But, they won’t see much, nor enjoy some
thing that the administration is hopefully
going to make meaningful for the gradu
ates and their guests. And don’t forget the
seniors graduating at 9 AM.* They’ll be
able to enjoy about an hour and a half of
the open house if they rush right out after
their ceremony ends to dash up the free
way to the campus. Right?
Actually, it looks like the ones who
will be able to enjoy the open house the
most are the Master’s candidates and those
receiving their teaching credential since
their ceremony doesn’t start until 4:30 PM.
I salute you! You’ve put in more time at
CSUSM than I have, so you deserve it!
But, the invitation is to all of us.
Gee, now that presents a problem. So,
how can we rectify this? Maybe extend
the hours of the open house? Start earlier
and end later? Maybe. Hold it another
day? Probably not. We know how things
get etched in stone sometimes, especially
something like this. Maybe we could
writers. More importantly, as the paper of
the university where I have taught since
it opened to students, that The Pride will
stay true to its name and set a better
example as to what it means to exercise
free speech responsibly and judiciously.
Stella T. Clark, Ph.D.,
Professor of Spanish and founding
member of the Department of World
Languages and Hispanic Literatures
change the location of the graduation cer
emonies to someplace on campus, or at
least close? I could suggest the football
field, or even the soccer field. And they
have the additional advantage of having
free parking! Probably not.
*
We have discussed and protested, and
presented and all that concerning having
the graduation at the campus, and we
all know the answers. Del Mar here we
come!
Well, maybe in the future there could
be a little better planning for something
like this. Maybe those of you who are
going to graduate from CSUSM in the
future can start planning now for better
logistics, can start campaigning for more
use of logic and common sense. Of
course. I’m only a Liberal Arts major, with
a minor in History, so that doesn’t quite
qualify me, I guess, to make all those busi
ness decisions that set things like this up
that don’t make sense, and that waste tax
payer dollars, and people’s precious time.
Oh, didn’t I mention that I was a taxpayer?
But that is another issue altogether.
So, those of you that are going to be
able to attend the Open House, I wish you
well. Honest! Enjoy ! And those of you
in the administration and facilities and
faculty and staff, enjoy the small atten
dance. It will make your job easier. Oh,
and thank you for this wonderful invita
tion to this spectacularly well-conceived
event. Again.
Unfortunately, like so many others,
I’ll miss this last event, too.

minority of people who have
their hands in everything, while
the majority of students bolt to
their cars the moment class is
over. Is that really so bad? Over
all morale and school spirit are
better than we give ourselves
credit for. How many CSUSM
shirts did you see today?
The solution? Let’s stop
the deprecating comments regard
ing student involvement; they are
inaccurate and counterproductive.
If we/are currently involved in
something, maybe we could try
inviting a stranger to join us.
Sounds cheesy right? The truth
is I wouldn’t be writing for The
Pride if someone hadn’t invited
me to take LTWR 316.
5. The Book Store
If you feel robbed after you
sell your books back at the end
of the semester, you’re not alone.
I’m as broke as the next person
and twenty bucks buys a lot of
Top Ramen, however, I would
rather eat my books than con
tribute to a system which clearly
cares more about profits than its
students.
The solution? Boycott the
bookstore until it offers fair prices
for book returns. Even better,
let’s have our first CSUSM pep
rally; in our bonfire we can bum
our books in protest of the unfair
sellback prices. If that’s too much
for you because you’re strapped
for cash, try Adams Ave. Book
Row in San Diego. You may get
a much better deal.
6.Class Schedule
The only thing worse then
opening a schedule and finding
that the class you need isn’t
being offered is having to pay
two dollars to find this informa
tion out. You may have guessed;
I’m the cheapskate who accesses
the schedule online. Charging for
class schedules is an unwarranted
slap in the face to students. It
is just another way to nickel and
dime students to death.
The solution? Refuse to buy
a schedule until they are free.
Use the Internet instead. At least
bury the schedule printing fees in
our tuition. It’s a sad thing, but
I’ve seen people hqve to borrow
money for a schedule.
7. Graduate Students/Teachers
Technically
considered
“adjunct staff members,” there
are a number of graduate stu
dents who teach General Educa
tion classes at the University. In
my experience, they are gener
ally fresh, enthusiastic and very in
touch with student issues, which
is ironic considering they are paid
poorly and don’t receive any med
ical, or dental benefits. These
unappreciated teachers can’t even
get a staff parking spot.

CAMPUS SEAT
“How do you feel about this year’s commencement
b eing held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds?”
By KATERI RODGERS
Responses from some of our graduating seniors:
“I think it’s great because the
race track is nicer. There’s
better parking. People will be
coming from out of town and it
will be good to see that area.”
- Janet Shick,
Psychology
“No problems: There’s going to
be a reception. My only concern
is that J wanted my family
to see the campus.”
- Kami Tebyani,
Business
Graduate students who also
teach generally work double the
amount of hours they get paid for
and have no union representation.
Congratulations to the staff and
the CFA on your new contract
settlement, now let’s take care
of your future colleagues. There
is an old saying, which seems
appropriate here, “personnel is
your most valuable asset.”
The solution? Increase their
pay and get them some benefits,
it won’t break the bank. At the
bare minimum let them park with
the rest of the staff.
8. Federal Holidays
Honoring Caesar Chavez’s
birthday is progressive but not
when we disregard other federal
holidays. This year’s calendar
managed to avoid a major con
flict, yet a new year is on the hori
zon.
Veterans Day, according to
the 2002-2003 academic calendar
approved on February 13, will be
ignored along with Washington’s
Birthday and Columbus Day. Lets
face it, federal holidays are out
dated, Christmas and Easter are
religious holidays, Columbus was
no saint and George Washington
was a slave owner. Still, I would
rather try my luck with die fed
eral government than leave the
holiday calendar up to any Uni
versity’s staff. After all, in 1994
Martin Luther King’s Birthday
was declared a federal holiday
and I would imagine in time
“At first I was disappointed when I
heard it was going to be at Palomar
because you won’t get the full expe
rience. They’re going to do what
they have to do. I just accepted
it and moved on.”
- Cleto Cortez,
Human Development
“I was fairly disappointed it can’t'
be at a school where my family
can see where I went. But I wasn’t
going to go if it was going
to be at Palomar.”
- Amanda Kellogg,
Finance
Columbus Day will be removed
from the list. To me that is prog
ress.
Meanwhile, the University is
attempting to erase the 872,969
lives, which were sacrificed in the
name of freedom and democ
racy, between the Revolutionary
War and the Gulf War. The Uni
versity’s substitution is appar
ently the lone fruit farmer and
activist Caesar Chavez. Veterans
are males and females represent
ing every race, as opposed to one.
Right now there are as many as
25,000 young American men and
women deployed throughout the
“Central Region” or Middle East,
some who we know, will never
return. Much like the hundreds
of thousands of veterans before
them, who for no better reason
than wanting to serve their coun
try, made the ultimate sacrifice.
According to the Department
of Veteran’s Affairs the veteran
population was estimated at 25.6
million, as of July 1,1997. Nearly
80 of every 100 living veterans
served during defined periods of
armed hostilities. At the time,
this number represented one third
of the total U S population, and
many are working on degrees here
at CSUSM.
Columbus Day; no! Thanks
giving Day; yes. Does that mean
that Spanish colonization was a
bad thing and English coloni
zation is something we should
celebrate? Really, is our aca
demic calendar any more socially
enlightened than the federal holi
day calendar?
Disregarding federal holidays
destroys the only established
guidelines we have to go by;
without them we transfer unbri
dled authority to individuals who
wifi naturally favor their individ
ual race or organizations while
disregarding others. How danger
ous has that become in the past?
The solution? Honor all the
federal holidays. There is time
and justification to do so.
9. Religious Tolerance
We aren’t there yet folks, not
racially, sexually and not even
close religiously. I never thought
I would see the day when the free
speech area on campus would be
suddenly changed in the middle of
a demonstration. Religious intol
erance is our biggest and most
volatile problem.
The solution? Everyday we
might remind ourselves to seek
objectivity and practice tolerance
towards other religious groups.
Regardless, of how wrong or dif
ferent they may appear to us,
we should try harder if we truly
desire to evolve.
10. The Pride
If there is this much room for
any one person, especially me, to
say something in The Pride, then
we really are doomed.The solu
tion? Contribute to The Pride and
enlighten us!

�Results of Audit Lead to Discontinuation of MBA Program through Extended Studies
By Leiana Naholowaa
Graduate Intern
The findings of a July '8,
2002, special investigation of the
Extended Studies (ES) MBA program operated by the College
of Business Administration
(CoBA), released by the university on July 16, indicate the
neglect of policy and the misuse
of both state and non-state funds
between 1995 and 2000. Among
its many findings, the audit
asserts that certain CSUSM
CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the
MBA program offered through
Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various
laws, regulations, and California
State University (CSU) policies
and procedures."
According to the audit, "over
$300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF)
expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF
program "were made as grants
to CoBA faculty". In its official
July 16 press release, CSUSM
has maintained that it had taken
action to correct the situation.
The audit also highlights
various ways in which leaders
and prior cam|>Us administrators
acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which
includes the following:
-
CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it
separately hired student
advisors.
CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in
a manner that reduced
student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty.
CoBA
discretionary
expenditures were often,
inadequately supported
and
inappropriately
approved.
Hourly rates for faculty
with consulting contracts ranged from less
than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per
hour without any perceptible justification for
variances in the rates
charged.
Jack Leu, associate professor
and former director of the MBA
program from 1999-2001, notes
that "Cal State-business schools
have had inadequate funding for
decades." Professor Leu states
the problems that the program
faced which include the struggle
in recruiting talented faculty and
how their actual workload of
giving up a winter or summer
break for extra pay "was rewarded
with sub-market compensation."
According to Professor Leu,
"We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU
campuses. However, we taught
our students not to be limited by
system constraints, not to accept
status quo and to take the journey
less traveled. Perhaps we must
also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to
p eril"
In terms of how the Extended
Studies MBA has operated as
an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was
"improperly administered" by
the CoBA and ES management.
Some examples of those findings
include that:
-
Campus standards over
grades were iiot followed.
ES exercised little control over the operation
of the CoBA ES MBA
program. In addition,
it retained few official
accounting or academic
records for the program
as it does for all other ES
programs at CSU San
Marcos.
Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and
MBA program leadership failed to act with
due care and attention
toward Office of the
University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the
Continuing Education
audit in December
1999.
- Concern regarding thé

is something seriously dysfunctional going on with regard to
the male-female student dynamic
here at Cal State San Marcos.
In my capacity as your A.S.I.
Secretary, over the summer I had
the opportunity to interact with a
lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than
simply walking by them on my
way to another spot on campus.
It seemed to me that almost every
time I would walk through a
crowd of freshmen guys talking
(or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme
repeated over and over. It went
something like, "Daaamn bro,
look at all the hot chicks here yo,
we're outnumbered like two to
one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just
as excited about that ratio when I
first came to this school.
Unfortunately what these guys
don't realize yet (but they
undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that
ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up"
with any girls, let alone one.

It's
common knowledge
that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are
about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are
that, first of all, we simply don't
talk to enough girls, and since
most of us aren't very perceptive
or sensitive, usually we either
misinterpret (or just plain, miss)
the signals girls do give us that
are supposed to let us know they
wouldn't mind it if we talked to
them more and/or asked them out
on a date.
When I told my 12 buddies this,
they all grudgingly concede that
they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not
being able to read signals that girls
are supposedly sending to them,
they get outright indignant and
sometimes even kind of pissed
off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they
all retort. "Are we supposed to be
like mind-readers or something
man? Are they using telepathy or
something?!?!
See man, that's what's messed
up about chicks is that they always
expect you to come to them,
but when you do think you've
received some kind of signal and
you do step to them, 99.9% of the

It's that time of year again.
Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the
school only offers two sections
of a core class that you need,
so you are left having to crash
a class that you can't graduate
without. You are desperate. You
have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the
spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care
that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m.
on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've
got to have this class.
really want anything to do with
you and you start thinkin' you're
crazy 'cause you were sure they
were givin' you the go-ahead,
but then it never works out, you
never get any love, you end up
pissed off at yourself, frustrated,
lonely, and highly discouraged...
and after a while you just stop
trying to talk to them with any
hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all
your boys are like, "man, the
chicks at this school are wack!"
I think whatthe guys are trying
to say is that girls need to stop
waiting for guys to approach
them, and they need to be clearer
about the signals they give.
Please ladies, don't take this
personally and try to see this for
what it really is: A CRY FOR
HELP. The guys at this school
are frustrated and confused. They
want to get to know you better,
but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix
this problem. Guys like to fix
things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this
school would really appreciate it
if one of you that read this would
write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong.
And if you don't feel like writing
an article but would like to share
your thoughts feel free to email/
call me (see below), or stop by
my office in Commons 203, and
then I'll turn around and write a
follow up article.
So you arrive early on the first
day of class only to find that
it's standing room only. You wait
silently for the adjunct du jour
to arrive, while wondering how
many others will try to crash. You
ponder your possibilities. Usually
the instructor will either refuse
all crashers (in order to keep the
class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there
will only be 15 students still
enrolled), or just let graduating
seniors crash. I'm not just talking
about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some
students have to crash multiple
classes every semester.
to know each other all that
well. We don't hang out together
outside of school enough. We
don't party together enough. I
repeat, WE DON'T PARTY
TOGETHER ENOUGH. This
needs to change.
No, I'm not joking, I'm dead
serious. We need to have more
parties. In my experience and
that of all my friends, parties are
clearly the best places to meet
people, and lay the foundations
for sometimes long-lasting and
rewarding friendships. But how
many big cool parties did you
get invited to and go to last
year based on your connection to
someone at this school?
Undoubtedly there are many of
you out there that could count
them on one hand, ^nd probably
still more that couldn't count any.
This needs to change. We need
to party together. We need to
have fun together. We need to be
able to say to ourselves after we
leave this place, "My time at San
Marcos was so fun, that school
rocked, I made so many friends,
I went out with so many girls (or
guys, depending on what you go
for), I had the time of my life,
I have no regrets and I 'm sad to
be leaving." Unfortunately, at this
point, I doubt most of us would
say this.
So, let's party. I challenge
everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to
a house that it would be cool to
throw a party at, to offer to host
a big kickass party. If you need
help organizing it, come talk to
me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a
big party ourselves but we can't
because we just moved into a
condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin'
me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself
and everyone else at this school a
favor, call me.
But folks, there's really no
amount of any such suggestions
that would change the situation
here. Guys will be guys, and girls
will be girls. What we all need
to realize is that ultimately, it's
not a matter of whether it's more
the guys fault or more the girls
fault for keeping us all single,
lonely, and wishing we weren't...
ultimately the problem i s that for

improved continuation rate could
be seen as a positive reflection of
the quality of education our students are receiving here."
In addition to the large increase
in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued
in the fall, the reason for the
increase in students is based on
other factors as well. According
to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the
growing public image are some of
the main attractions to first time
freshmen. The weakened job
economy and tighter job market
might be partially responsible for
the improved continuation rate
from last spring. All campuses in
the CSU system are experiencing
similar unexpected growth, so it
is a statewide phenomenon."
Compared to the Fall 2002,
there were about 700 who
applied, and now the school
already has 1,200 prospective
students who have applied for
Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400
students on an annual average.
The unofficial count on students
for this semester is 7,600 and
this will be either confirmed or
changed with the census count
that was held at the end of September and will be released in
early October. Riehl did not say
what they will do if the number
of students admitted reaches
school capacity.
Although the requirements to
get into CSUSM are the same,
Riehl said that there is still a
need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San

plans for preferential enrollment
at this time, and both transfer

expectations, who has made
contributions to the university
deemed as exceptionally
valuable, is a Brakebill

facility will open in the fall of
2003. University officials hope
this library will become the

unless Proposition 47 passes
this coming November, the
library will have a problem
with becoming fully laden with
the equipment needed for this
possible state-of-the-art facility.
CSUSM's new Kellogg Library
will be a 200,000-square-foot
facility compared to the current
library, which is 28,000 ft. This
new library has the promise of
being a focal point for the whole
of the North County community. The new facility will have

Del Mar Scream
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
The all-new "3-D Scream
Zone" will be opening October 4,
at the Del Mar "Scaregrounds."
The Scream Zone is the largest
haunted attraction in San Diego,
featuring 12,000 square feet of
3-D thrills. Each year the event
features a new theme, and this
year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein."
This year the Scream Zone
was designed and hand painted
by former Disney 3-D expert,
R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects
take the Scream Zone production
to a whole new level. Not only
do the 3-D effects seem real, but
also there are ghosts and Goblins
that may just reach out and grab
you. The Scream Zone has hired
23 actors who have spent hours
rehearsing and who often put on
more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts.
As a warning to those who
are fearless enough to go to the
event, the Scream Zone is not
intended for children under the
age of ten, and is really geared
towards teenagers and adults.
If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a
special Kids' Day "Fun Zone"
is planned for October 27 from
1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will
include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and
of course trick-or-treating.

Usually when one goes to the
movies, one expects to observe
a series of dramatized situations
and hopefully be entertained by
the story, character development,
musical score and visual stimuli.
Most of us like to go to the
movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes
we just want to kill a few hours
in a dark air-conditioned space
with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for
someone looking for this sort of
light entertainment.

Rush: Vapor Trails Tour
By KURT MAYER
Pride Staff Writer
The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at
the Coors Amphitheater in Chula
Vista on Wednesday, September
25. The show was nearly sold
out, and the fans were ecstatic
to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three
decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again.
Rush is such an esteemed
force in the music industry that
no opening band was required;
truthfully, no band could hope to
compare! Rush came on stage at
8:15 and played until 11:30. The
music was synchronized with
hundreds of lights and lasers.
Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three
enormous projection screens,
layered with custom animations
and ambience effects.
On these screens, fans
watched, awestruck, as bassisi
Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex
Lifeson performed intricate
acoustic and electric guitar
work, as well as keyboard work.
Drummer Neil Peart brought
fans to a standing ovation with a
fifteen-minute drum solo on his
360-degree rotating drum kit.
Awesome!
The Coors Amphitheater is
acoustically designed and padded
with sound-reflective walls to
accommodate full symphony
orchestras, so the sound quality
was perfect. New songs like
"Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider"
rang out into the night with the
utmost clarity, as did classics like
"The Trees" and "Red Sector A"
and even the famous 1970's hit
"Working Man".
A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista,
but did not attend the show, said
he could hear the bass clearly
from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula
Vista probably enabled sound

�Hostility Between Skateboarders and Inline Skaters
trees." No matter what conflict
is at hand, two wrongs do not
make a right. Therefore, the
only result of the argument is
the escalation of the conflict
that often turns into street
fights.
Really! Is skateboarding
harder than inline skating or
vice versa? I believe they
are two different sports, and
anyone who tries to say which
sport is better than the other is
clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing.
Little do these people, who
create conflict, know that they
are wasting their time. Instead
offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not
worrying about which sport is
better. They overlook the fact
that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are
free, not bound to the inline
skater or skateboarder role of
hating each other because their
equipment is different. Actu-
ally, skateboarders and inline
skaters are very similar to one
another. They are both involved
in a new revolution of sports, and
like to roll around to have fun.
So why is it necessary to
repeat the cycle of argument
and disgust for one another? I
know the answer. Skateboarders
and inline skaters conflict with
one another because they do not
take the time to acknowledge the
person behind the equipment,

I am also sick and tired of
inline skaters getting so upset at

it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it
is between skateboarders and

put up with it all the time. Not
to say that skateboarders don't
have the same feeling I have,

more skateboarders than inline

society - ask yourself how many
more skateboarders, on average,

Pride Staff Writer
The food in the Dome makes
me want to start packing my own
lunch before I come to school. I
know many of you feel this way
too, given the tasty choices the
Dome has to offer. We need a
little variety in our food court
selection, to say the least. Let's
break it down. We've got a
soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol
(Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's
pizza and subs (the only food
remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least,
House of Tsang.
We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher
foods, bigger selection) that were
to make the Dome more palatable
for the students this fall. Student
Gail Tarantino shared with me a
personal account of what these
"improvements" exactly entailed.
"I went to Casa Del Sol to try the
new baked chicken plate that
they serve. The server pulled a

with cafeterias containing Taco
Bells, McDonalds, and other
well-known food stands. Why
are CSUSM students subjected to
sub-par food when other college
students are actually enjoying
their meals?
We are students driven by our
appetites. And what do we get
between classes? Overcooked,
marginal at best, Mexican and
Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a
little credit since it's pretty fresh
and relatively palatable pizza and
sandwiches. But when you sum
it all up, that's really all there is.
A person can only eat so much
pizza before they begin to desire
something more. Yet we all stand
in line, like a bunch of Russians
in a communist bread line. What
else can we do?
Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this
to say about the subject: "I know
nothing about it, except that I've
heard the matter was investigated
and the major companies that
looked into it found that there
are not enough students here yet
to support their minimum sales
requirement."
After trying all ten items that
are on the menu throughout the
past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other
colleges in the San Diego area
It looks like new and improved
food is a diminutive priority
thus far. Enrolling new students
necessitates more parking spaces.
When this is running smoothly
we may finally have enough
students, which would then allow
us the ability to get more familiar
food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some
time, so hey! Have some pizza!

Catching the Wave of Success
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at
North Ponto in the north end of
Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM
held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National
Scholastic Surfing Association
(NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM
placed fourth overall last season.
Under the rules of the NSSA, six
shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team.
Making the final cuts will be
difficult, due to the select nature
of the team and the large pool of
talent available at CSUSM.

the team had great participation and team spirit, but generally only one or two surfers got

1985-1987. At USCD, where she

National Championship. In 1998,
she graduated from UCLA with
a PhD in mathematics, but before
leaving she had accumulated two
more NSSA individual national
championships. Puha then came
to CSUSM in the fall of 1999.
Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to
have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf
team here on campus." But she
also gives credit to ASI and her
team, "because without them this
wouldn't be possible. With such
an exemplary record, along with
some very talented surfers, it's
quite possible for the Cougars to
rank even higher than last year."
The surf team and other
CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore,
like any other ASI club sport,
the team has three player representatives, which include Dave
Kincannon, George Demarino,
and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI
to officially register the team,
organize the tryouts, and help
raise funds.
CSUSM is a part of the NSSA
Southwest Conference and will
begin competition on October
27th in Ventura, California.

Drums Beat to Honor at the 10th Annual Tukwut Pow Wow
tion and education as noted
by Randy Edmonds, Master
of Ceremonies. A member
of AISA -said, "Throughout
the years Mr. Edmonds has
tried to provide an awareness
to the greater society...he
also demonstrates the tremendous pride that Indian
people have." As part of his
witty charm, Edmonds built
an atmosphere of joviality
throughout the day of rituals.
Edmonds9 magnetism made
the rhythm of the ceremony
one of honor and fun.
By RIA CUSTODIO
Pride Staff Writer
When an eagle feather falls,
a veteran dances close by and
protects it from being trampled
upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance
(AISA). The theme of the 10th
Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held
at California State University
San Marcos (CSUSM), offered
a glimpse of protection from
the traditions of generations
old and new by honoring passed
heroes. The Pow Wow gave
truth to the natural essence of
spirituality with the ambience
of ritual customs. The steady
beat of drums echoed through
the inner circle. The beat of the
center drum circle, led by Hale
and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor.
Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi-
Native American dancer at the Pow Wow.
Photo by Tristan Nickey
The Pow Wow's powerful,
rhythmic procession gave life
to the honoring of heroes. An
amazing chorus of drums
thundered under the heat of
the heavy sun. American
Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders
who passed away, "Uncle"
Henry Rodriguez and Chet
Hunt. The Pow Wow honored
Rodriguez and Hunt for their
ever-vigilant support, exemplary
leadership and teachings.
Karin Giron-DeCrane said,
"OurHerpes have taught us many
lessons...to remember that we
never do anything alone."
The congregation of gatherers
stood in silence for a moment of
blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing
included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous
day, and prayed for the safety
of people. Once the blessing of
the inner circle concluded, only
Native American Indians entered
into the circle. Edmonds made
light of the situation by joking,
"If you are white and you enter
the blessed circle you will go
straight to hell."

AIDS Testing Available at SHS
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
SHS is a student clinic that
offers a broad range of services
from AIDS testing to seasonal
flu shots. SHS will be giving
anonymous, free,AIDS tests on
Wednesdays between 11 a.m.
and 2 p.m. beginning Sept 11th
until further notice to all registered students who may be interested. Registered students may
plan scheduled as well as walk-in
appointments.
If there is any reason in one's

at the SHS clinic. SHS performs
an oral AIDS test, known as
the Orasure test. The Orasure
test involves swabbing the inner
cheek of the patient with a harmless instrument, commonly a
swab on a stick. This breaks off
cells from the inner cheek, which
are then tested for HIV.
For students who are not sure
about how common AIDS can
be or how it can be contracted,
the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) provides facts that are
commonly overlooked. According to die CDC, California
ranks 14th among all states in
North America in percentage
of people infected with the
AIDS virus. Los Angeles and
San Francisco lead the state as
carriers of the virus, and San

An overwhelming majority
of Americans like their food
convenient, fast, and cheap, with
little concern given to health
and nutrition issues. Ideas about
what happens after the food is
swallowed seem to get lost in the
appealing prospect of having a
meal handed in through the car
window for less than a buck.
According to ABCnews.com,
"Residents of the United States
spend more on fast food a year
than they do movies, books,
magazines, newspapers, videos,
and records combined." This
amounts to over $110 billion
annually.
But as the nation grows more
obese and unhealthy, it may
be increasingly appropriate to
examine Americans' propensity
to support the fast food industry.
And support it they do. The office
of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than
300,000 fast food restaurants in
the U.S." When considering that
the last official Census Bureau
(www.census.gov) count for the
U.S. population was 281,421,906,
this means there is one fast food
restaurant for about every 900
people in the country. At least
one quarter of them is apt to
stop in to one of these fast food
establishments for a meal at least
once per day, according to CBS
HealthWateh.
Americans
Eric Schlosser, author of Fast
Food Nation, said, "The United
States eats the most fast food
in the world." While this is not
the most profound statement

On Feb. 19th 1922, a true
American hero was born near
Basin'Creek Montana. George
Oiye had a happy childhood
and grew up visiting the historic
headquarters of the Missouri
-River, the starting point of the
Lewis and Clarke expedition.
Later, in his twenties, Oiye
attended Montana State College
where he studied mechanical
and aeronautical engineering.
In college, he also participated
in ROTC (Reserve Officers in
Training Corps) where he was
captain of the college rifle team.
He fit the perfect profile for a
man with a promising military
future, except for the fact that
this was 1941, the Japanese
had just bombed Pearl Harbor,
and George Oiye is a Japanese
American.
and military record, Oiye was
classified by the United States
government as a 4C, an enemy
unfit for military service. Of
this time, Oiye states, "I felt like
a man without a country." But
then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind
the 4C order, thus allowing him,
and some 15,000 other Japanese
Americans, to reinstate their
active duty military status.
Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which
happens to be the most highly
decorated combat unit of its
size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go
for Broke" regiment, because
of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and
the 522nd were comprised of
mainland Japanese Americans
and Japanese Hawaiians. The
regiment has been credited with

points located in the mountains
north of Florence Italy. This
group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also
been credited with helping to
penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps
throughout Europe. As a forward
observer, Oiye himself has been
credited with spotting an enemy
gun from an observation point
14,000 feet up and calling in
Naval artillery support from sea
to knock it out.
In all, his team participated
in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns
throughout Italy, France and
Germany, 5 of which Oiye was
directly a part. His team was also
instrumental in the rescue of the
'Lost Battalion,' where he and,
his fellow soldiers suffered 850
casualties to save a unit of 223
Texans.
Their
defining
victory
occurred when they liberated the
concentration camp survivors in
Dachau, Germany (the location
of Hitler's first concentration
camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these
men were thousands of miles
away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide,
many of their own families had
been involuntarily interned in
camps in the United States, due
to the Pearl Harbor tragedy.
On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George
Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama
Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about
his experiences as an American
soldier both before and after
the war. He commented on the
strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the
soldiers from mainland Japan
did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/
was worse than all the grenades
and bullets, because he had to

mainland return was a fate worse
than battle.
The problem was that many
Americans simply could not
accept the fact that Japanese
Americans could have possibly
helped in winning the war. It was
so bad that even as a decorated
veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for
several years. But yet, after all of
the mistreatment he endured by
the same country whose values
he risked his life to protect, when
asked about his own identity as
an American, Oiye remarked
in a most stoic manner, "After
your first bayonet fight with
the enemy, you know you're an
American."
Now eighty years old, Oiye
is a retired engineer and public
speaker and can be seen in many
documentaries and television
interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World

Poullard has a master's degree

In a previous profile from 2000,
Poullard discussed the importance of a "wholistic" environment on campus. For Poullard,
creating this environment means
that a campus should "deal with
all the components of a student's
life: academic, emotional, physical, and social"— and that if
a school "only deals with one
component it is not serving the
students well." *

concern that the campus has not
done a very good job in educating students on how to resolve
disputes over grades and other
issues. Poullard said that students
should come to him for anything,
"And I mean anything," he said.
Upon getting the details of the
concern or grievance, his first
step is to call the appropriate
office and explain the student's
situation, after which Poullard
directs the student to the correct
office for resolution.

�B ehold t he Red D ragon
By CHRIS MARTIN
Pride Staff Writer
Everybody'3 favorite serial
killer returned to the silver
screen Friday Oct. 4th in theatres across the country, thanks
to a brilliant portrayal by Sir
Anthony Hopkins as the insidious Dr. Hannibal "the cannibal" Lecter. Although some
variation exists, "Red Dragon,"
directed by Brett Ratner, is
for all intents and purposes
a remake of Michael Mann's
1986 cult classic Manhunter.
Both films have been adapted
from the Thomas Harris book
"Red Dragon," and accurately
represent the novel, albeit in
different ways.
With its dark and alien
cinematography and score,
Manhunter grittily explores
the deranged mind of a killer
and the man that hunts him,
whereas the more modern
installment comes equipped
with a star studded cast, goes
into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds
and offers a more true representation of the book.

When a series of savage
murders occur, FBI agent Will
Graham (played by Edward
Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack
Crawford (played by Harvey
Keitel), to help catch the killer.
The villain, Francis Dolarhyde
(played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous
combination of intelligence
and lunacy accompanied with
a rather intimidating physical
demeanor. Graham realizes
early on that he is going to
require assistance in order to

of semblance among
cast members, I do
think that the performances by Hopkins
and Fiennes were
strong, to say the
least. Even though the
role of Will Graham
is complex, I felt as if
Norton's performance
was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however,
add a great deal of
depth to this film. An
especially compelling
performance by Emily
Watson as Dolarhyde's
unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air.
Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton,
the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was
hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag
tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds
constituted the perfect guy you
love to hate.
Whatever this film lacked,
as far as performances are
concerned, it made up for in
suspense and story line. As I
consider myself somewhat of an
expert on the work of Thomas
Harris, I must implore you to
not only see this film, but also
"Manhunter," "The Silence of
the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If
you liked these films even a little
bit, read the books, because they
shed light on the formation of
the character's personalities in
the realest sense, the way Harris
intended.

Knott's Scary Farm Celebrates 30 Years of Fears

As the 30th annual Knott's
Scary Farm Halloween Haunt
kicked off this past weekend,
ghosts, ghouls, and mummies
alike roamed the alleyways in
search of fear. The Halloween

where it began back in 1973,
with only a few employees in

what came next. This
show is definitely not for
children due to the adult
themes, content, and humor.
Nearly 52,000 people attended
the opening weekend, with
numbers expecting to double as
the month nears Halloween. To
accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new
shows and mazes were added to
the haunting line-up.
Other shows include bizarre
circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy.

The San Diego Asian Film
Festival (SDAFF) opened its
doors to collaborative passions,
desires, characters, and the
inspiring direction of artistic
creation. The SDAFF created a
controversial buzz, making this
year's festival an overall success.
Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by
creating a booming non-profit
film festival in order to showcase
Asian artistic talents.
Opening night began when
Kim emphatically spoke of her
number one project, the SDAFF.
With a slow beginning, the
SDAFF opened three years ago
with little notice but instead with
a dream to establish an environment of support and collective
collaboration of artistic creation.

a notoriously difficult locale.

substantial risk in the making of
BLT by using his credit cards as
a primary source for the budget.
Due to the difficult budget size,
creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the
making of the movie. Lin and
the crew envisioned a film for an

Dear Pride Editorial Staff:
I was reading through the most
recent edition of The Pride, and I
was shocked to see that the paper
now has a Spanish section. I was
upset for several reasons to see
that this section is written completely in Spanish.
First of all, the Spanish Section
completely defies the purpose of
journalism. It is a newspaper's
job to effectively communicate
the news in a way that can be
understood to those with an
elementary level reading skill.
One might assume that everyone
at the university surpasses this
level of reading comprehension,
but it is unacceptable to assume
that everyone fluently reads
Spanish.
It does not take a genius to
realize that there is a significant population of students that
do not speak or read Spanish,
and I find this offensive and
discriminatory. I am part of the
student population that does not
speak Spanish, and because of
this I am unable to understand
even the titles of the articles
because they too are in Spanish.
The content of the Spanish
Section includes information
concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated
a portion of readers by assuming
that the non-Spanish speakers or
readers are not interested in the
news in this section. I understand
that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has
English as a second language.
These students were driven* to
learn a second language so that
they could have the same opportunities as English speaking
students, and because of their
hard work, obtained a level of
competency that allowed them
acceptance into the university.
the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic
community. I see this section
as a problem because myself, as
well as other students, have been
excluded from reading a section
of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available
for all students to understand.
The Spanish section of The
Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an
area that the Latino community
has struggled with for so long.
Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if
any group should be sympathetic
to this effect I would expect it to
be this community.
I see the same problem having
a German section or Asian section strictly written in those
languages in the newspaper as
well. The bottom line here is that
this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM

aquellos que nos han felicitado
por jesta sección. Esta sección
al parecer ha creado algunas
inconformidades. I*o cual me
hace go back to business or to
be more specific yet to respond
to a recent letter received by the
editorial staff.
I, Martha Sarabia, currently
one of two lead editors of The
Pride as well as the editor of the
Spanish section of our student
newspaper want to clarify any
misunderstandings created by
having a Spanish section in The
Pride. More specifically, the
letter I am responding to was
sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be
answered. (I would also like to
point out that I know this student
and I really like her. Last year
she was a member of The Pride
staff. So, hi Amy!)
Before I answer Amy's letter, I
have a couple of things tp say by
way of a preface: Spanish is my
native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my
life were pronounced in Spanish.
This language is therefore a very
big part of who I am today. This
is why it is a privilege for me
to promote my language to the
CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this
as a sign of discrimination. This
was never our intention. But, oh
well, what can we do? We can't
please everyone. But now some
basic points:
many non-native speakers in our
school that are studying Spanish,
many of them even pursuing a
Spanish major or minor. Then
there's the group that studied
abroad in Spain during this past
summer: 90% were non-native
speakers. I know this because

I believe that the intent of
the editors who put the section
together is good, but I think that
the same articles can be relayed
in English without taking away
f rom the content or message
behind the stories. It is not an
unreasonable request that all
students at CSUSM be able to
read the articles in the school
paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation
would be to include the same

I have written as an individual? (When you wrote for
The Pride were you representing the English-speaking
community?) Whatever I do
and write should be seen,
criticized, and/or analyzed
regardless of the group I
belong to. You are denying
me the right to have what I
write read from an individual
perspective instead of having
everything that I am count
before my writing.
This leads to my fifth point:
You mentioned, "if any group*
should be sympathetic to this
effect I would expect it to be
this community." I have news
for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in
any way responsible for this
section. It was the decision
of The Pride editorial team.
Simply because I belong to
this group and I am in charge
of this section does not mean
that whatever I do represents
the Latino community or is
something that the Latino
community wants me to do.
To suggest this is a misrepresentation. Why? Because I

CSUSM veterans continued a

in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a
small group of CSUSM veterans

and the melodious voice of
Ashanti accompanied the sunshine and competition. Held just
beyond Forum Plaza, between
University Hall and the new
Arts Building, the location was
ideal for passing students to
observe their peers laughing and
having a great time. Overall,
the scene was light and happy,
and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat
with sideline spectators.
The competition consisted
of four classic events, each a
childhood favorite, yet with a
contemporary spin. The first
in a series of grueling feats of
skill was Speed Twister. A
member from each team battled
with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister
mats. Whoever was the last one
standing on each one of the mats
won points for their team. This
was quickly followed by the old
camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the
event, each member from every
team spun around seven times
with the bat on their forehead,
which was an oversized candle,
and then had to slalom their way
through a series of orange cones
to touch a flag. Sprinting back
to where they had begun was the
only way to tag the next teammate inline.
From there, the players moved
on to a condensed Frisbee Golf
match, where one member from
each team took turns throwing
a frisbee into a net trap about 20
yards away. Just as in regular
golf, the least amount of throws
won. After the adrenaline and
energy from the relay before, the
golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being
tossed randomly like graduation
caps.
Thefinalportion of the contest
was Speed Pumpkin Carving.
As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic
from a lopsided gourd; it was not
merely speed that scored points,
but quality as well. Some simply
hacked out their Greek symbols,
while other teams such as PAN
went so f ar as to use a dragon
stencil to produce an eye-catching image.
Winners were announced
Thursday at 12 p.m. First place
was awarded to APSS, who
received $100 for their efforts.
Second place went to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won
$50. PAN won third place and
received $25. The prizes went
towards the club accounts.

The Exploration of Maternal B onds Exhibit
By RIA CUSTODIO
Staff Writer
Curiosity tears through the
imagination with an interesting
title like "Tight Teeth and A
Marvelous Cake."
Inspiring artist Anna O'Cain
reveals her aesthetic and tactile motivations, capturing the
essence of the maternal bond,
within her art. O'Cain mixes
visually stimulating, sensory
art with an ounce of maternal
flare in the pieces scheduled to
exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series.
She brings life to art by con-
ceptualizing a box of mementos
from her mother. A bit of life's
instruction, a pinch of family
matters and juicy tidbits of
gossip demonstrate the range of
her art exhibit The art show is
scheduled to exhibit at Cal State
San Marcos beginning Oct. 23rd
and will run through the end of
November. O'Cain also exhibits
her craft by transcribing work
onto photographs in her gallery
on Wednesday mornings. The
nature of O'Cain's work demonstrates the historical relevance of
the roles of women within cultural aspects.

LETTER TO
THE EDITORS
Dëar
Pride,
I just wanted to write Chris
Martin about his review of
"Red Dragon" and ask him
why he believes that the film
is, for all intents and purposes,
a remake of "Manhunter?"
I find that to be absolutely
rediculous. When you remake
a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with
"Psycho," they just added color
to Hitchcock's masterpiece.
Other remakes follow the
same plotting, but update it to
modern settings and the like.
With "Red Dragon," Brett
Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same
title by Thomas Harris. That's
why the credits say based on
the novel by Thomas Harris,
not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann.
Mann's film is a much looser
adaptation than Ratners, and
rather inferior, in my opinion.
So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert,
do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if
you really believe that Ratner
was remaking "Manhunter".
I'd also like to know what you
thought of the ending of the
novel "Hannibal" compared
to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público
en general la exposición "El Arte
Defiende". Esta muy particular
exhibición de arte organizada
por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo
que dirige Michael Schnorr se
está presentando en la Galería de
Arte del Colegio Southwestern
en Chula Vista hasta finales de
mes. Se presentan trabajos de
niños y jóvenes de la comunidad
de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana,
así como también de algunos
otros artistas que muestran en
sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población.
Para estimular la creatividad
de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga
les enseñan diferentes técnicas
de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó
que muchos niños piensan
que no son capaces de dibujar
o pintar un cuadro con valor
estético pero que después de
enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales
utilizados para que puedan
crear algo con facilidad y de
una manera divertida, los niños
se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo.
El objetivo de los instructores
es el de enseñarles una manera
de expresar sus emociones. "La
situación en Maclovio es muy
difícil. Algunos niños no tienen
casa, a otros los abandonaron sus
papás, no van a la escuela, andan
en las calles todo el día, cargan
cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y
otros venden drogas para poder
comer. Entonces es importante
el proporcionar a los niños una
manera de expresión no verbal,
ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a

En cada uno de los trabajos
que se pueden apreciar en esta
exposición se encuentra el alma
frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de
un joven, de un niño o de un
adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se
encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de
todo tipo.

líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con
el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue
envolviendo con la comunidad
y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir
el Centro de Arte Comunitario
Aguascalientes.
Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que
han estado asistiendo a impartir
clases de artes plásticas y pintura
a la comunidad de Maclovio
Rojas. Huato es estudiante de
Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de
Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia
Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego.
Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de
ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos

ellos trabajan con la comunidad,

Para Huato, es muy importante
que ellos se puedan expresar a
través del arte, pero también es
uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura.
"El crear una forma de arte para
que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy
bueno, pero más que nada es
pintar para desahogarse, ellos
pasan por problemas que uno
nunca se imagina. Para mí el
arte es expresión y para ellos
debe de ser también," expresó
Huato con una actitud optimista.
De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor
experiencia ha sido el pintar los
murales con el grupo de jóvenes.
"Todas las actividades eran en
la noche y era muy divertido,
parecía como que temamos
fiesta. Es uno de los mejores
recuerdos que tengo," expresó
Huato.
Huato también habló de la
pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la
cual realizó con colores de agua.
"La forma en que él la pintó me
dejó anonadada porque no me
imaginaba las cosas que él era
capaz de pintar. Es una pintura
abstracta, lo que es muy difícil
para un niño. Me impresionó el
talento que tiene, así que le sigo
dando material para que continúe
pintando." El arte abstracto de

A little after 1:00 p.m., at
Qualcomm Stadium in San
Diego, California the Chargers
and the Kansas City Chiefs
began a game that was a close
contest.
After a dazzling reverse from
#21 LaDainian Tomlinson to
#85 Tim Dwight the Chargers
opened tip the first quarter 7-0
against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The momentum was in favor
of the Chargers, however with
turnovers caused by fumbles
and interceptions, the Chiefs
capitalized on the errors and led
at the end of the second quarter
by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs.
As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would
get very close to the red zone,
but were never able to score due

Towards the end of the third

quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs
battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was
delivered by Chiefs quarterback
Trent Green who increased the
Chief's score by seven, and then
the Charger's battled back with a

which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24.

Hi Pride people,
First I want to say that the layout
of this week's issue was very
impressive. You're all doing
an awesome job and should be

I feel they are important. So I

it is extremely distorted. Before
you jump on the defensive side
I want you to know that I truly
wish that our society were
indeed as tolerant of diversity as
you perceive it, but unfortunately
it is not. I noticed that you
yourself said in your article that,
"as a Literature and Writing
major... I have been forced to
take many classes that in one
way or another involve ethnic
studies and cultural diversity." If
the classes were not mandatory,
would you have taken them
simply out of scholarly interest?
Probably not which is why the
University chooses to make
these t roes of classes mandatory.
There are many people, just like
you, who instead of celebrating
cultural differences look at them
negatively as hindrances.
Recognizing and accepting
cultural differences is what
diversity is about. While you
may not feel more "connected"
to a member of another race
or ethnicity after class, you
should at least feel like you
have a better understanding
about their experiences and
perspectives. And we all need
to learn about these experiences
and perspectives as they are
extremely different depending
on one's ethnic background. We
have to be realistic and admit that
there is no such thing as a same
"across the board" American
experience in terms of ethnicity.
This is what classes like LTWR
450: Multiethnic American
Literature portray. To say that
classes like this are a slap in the
face — classes that give everyone
a chance to study literature
which is no doubt based upon the
different experiences, good and
bad, that result from us living
in a diverse society — is a total
disregard for diversity.
Literature" could not possibly fit
the course objective of LTWR
450. While this class' goal is to
compare writings from various
ethnic groups found here in
America, it also says that it " ...
examines texts through thematic
and/or historical frameworks
in order to view them as
products of varying cultural
and historical circumstances."
(pg. 268, CSUSM University
Catalog). Imagine trying to
study the American Civil War
from one ethnic perspective. It's
impossible because you have, the
perspective of the slave owner
and then that of the slave. The
fact that you do not understand
nor recognize cultural diversity
as celebrating our differences
in an equal manner, and does
not necessarily constitute any
separation, shows the lack of
progress in cultural diversity
and maybe even the failure of

like to address your idea of

this straight. There is a huge
difference between incorporation

the title of "American" would
be a disservice and a blatant

Instead of looking at diversity

I applaud the University f or its

enthusiastic understanding and
acceptance of our culturally
diverse society. I also challenge
CSUSM students to participate
in the understanding of diversity

foster acceptance and celebrate
our differences. By doing
this, more people will see that

For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San
Marcos, the window-painting
contest was a hit. The theme
chosen this year was simply
"Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were
displayed on the windows around
Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th.
The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was
chosen as the winner of the 2002
window-painting contest by the
Homecoming Planning Committee.
Claudia Pawlowski and Justin
Knott were the artistic talent
that created the window painting
next to the coffee cart that won
the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and
member of the CSUSM Veterans
Association, portrayed a cougar
on the prowl beside an American
Flag, as well as the theme boldly
stated at the top of the window.

Veterans' Day Celebration:
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Veterans Association, lead by president Gary
Taylor, United States Army
(Ret.), held a celebration on
campus Monday, Nov. 11,
honoring all veterans and commemorating the 227th birthday
of the Marine Corps.
Ceremony Events
Taylor spoke briefly about the
origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to
celebrate the end of WWI arid
to pay tribute to the Unknown
Soldier. In 1954, in order to
honor all those whov served in
American wars, then-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a
bill proclaiming November 11th
as Veterans' Day.
Throughout the ceremony,
two protestors sat off to
one side. CSUSM student
and army veteran Shawn
Harris was protesting the
ceremony and had upset
some audience members,
Harris was holding a sign
that said, "rebuild America,
not the military'^on one side
and "read the foreign press"
on the other side. When
asked Harris said, "this
university should not be
allowed to become a forum
to promote military activities." "This is a campus," he
said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend
classes at CSUSM and there
are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.
According to Taylor, part of the
mission of the campus Veteran's

Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every
resident should have access
to higher education with out
financial constraint...It's a basic
social right."
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at
Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM)
Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of
political science at New School
University and award winner of
the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of
a call to action that could provide
no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This
was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the
Labor Party at the Labor Party
Convention and Conference in
Washington, DC in July 2002.

enrollment
opened this November, and large
student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A
college degree can offer stability by securing more choices.
Government education statistics
prove that higher education gives
people a chance to build a better
life for themselves^ Therefore
by following the Labor Party's
guidelines, higher education at
no-cost greatly increases social
opportunities.
CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in
his attempts to spark enthusiasm
for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues
on "Free Higher Education." He
wants students, faculty, and the
community to gain an increased
awareness of the need for no-cost
mere pennies at over $23 billion
compared to the massive annual
federal budget. Allocation of
government funds, without the
increase of taxes, allows the
government to divert corporate
tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary
institutions. Dr. Reed implied
that the free tuition policy covers
two percent of the annual federal
budget and is easily incorporated
into the trillions of dollars going
to corporations, airline bailouts,
and government spending.
As a staunch supporter of the
Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of
the imperativeness for residents
to access higher education while
revitalizing public institutions
with marginal, implemental
costs. "Free higher education
doesn't cost a lot of money and
The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your

The DJDI quoted, "...report also
found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national
output due to extra education and
increased Federal tax revenues
for the extra income the beneficiaries earned."
The free tuition campaign
applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill,
also known as the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944. After
World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed
veterans coming back from the
war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration
(VA) said that this bill has had
more impact on the American
way of life than any law. The VA
also said that President Franklin
D. Roosevelt signed the bill in
order to motivate a desire to
"spare the veteran and the nation
the economic hardships that
accompanied the return." The
free higher education campaign
is similar to the G.I. Bill because
it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense.
Free
higher
education allocates
funds to the larger
population rather than
small segment.
Free higher education provides
access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a
higher level of education offered.
The campaign stresses people
taking local initiative to build
solidarity for success through
word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a
system for social reform of the
polarization of higher education.
By slowly building relationships
with action, a diverse activism is
created by revealing the need to
depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed.
To close the campaign, Dr.
Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York,
implored, "Nothing is more
effective than building personal
relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you
say.. .share the vision."

Searching for Mentors
Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Opinion Editor
To be a mentor is to have
an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of
academic help. Joan Helms,
associate under the Wellness
Department within the Poway
Unified School District, along
with the Poway Unified School
District itself, will argue for more
mentors, in order to positively
impact their students as much
as possible. They are looking for
college students to be the mentors for their students.
General Colin L. Powell (Ret.),
Chairman of America's Promise
and Secretary of State, talks
about "Commitment makers,"
which are some individuals or
organizations trying to make a
difference by pledging their time,
treasures, and resources towards
helping our youth, is referencing,
through Helm's interpretation,
the role that mentors plays in
the education process. Mentors
are "commitment makers," says
Helms. They pledge their time,
treasures, being their education,
and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth
succeed in school.
Helms is offering college
students who can spend an
hour every week throughout the
remainder of the school year
a chance to be "commitment
makers."
Mentoring is a positive process
that allows the mentors, as well
as their protégés, a chance to gain
from their experience together.
Helms commented, "Over 98
percent of mentored students
said they have benefitedfromthe
program by increased academic
achievement, improved self-
confidence, increased attendance
at school, improved attitudes
and improved self-control. In
addition, mentors are sometimes
credited with helping students
to stay away from drugs and
alcohol."

Make Impossible Pumpkin Pie
By RACHEL FRANKLE
For The Pride
Thanksgiving is a special time
of year to spend with friends
and loved ones. This American
tradition is filled with family,
pictures, memories, prayers,
gratitude, and hope. Holiday
spirit fills the air as we all long
to make precious memories that
will stay with us for our entire
lives. Christmas is right around
the corner and the New Year is
following close in second. But
everything starts with a lavish
spread of Thanksgiving food
including: mashed potatoes,
yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy,
and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we
eat dessert. Dessert ia the final
food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it
special and try out this recipe for
"Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My
mother discovered this recipe
years ago on a Bisquick box. It
has become a cherished favorite
of our family for years and it can
be yours, too. Many people enjoy
the holiday rich foods, but also
worry about the pounds it tends
to add. With this recipe, you can
enjoy the food and your trim
body all at the same time. Just
follow these simple instructions
and be prepared to take a savory
bite launching you into the holiday spirit.

sert. One great aspect about this
pumpkin pie is it makes its own
crust. That makes the pie not
only less filling, but also lower
in fat than a typical pumpkin
pie. You know what that means,
ladies? No more post holiday
starving and binge workouts!
My mother comments: "You
will not believe how simple it is
to make this pumpkin pie. It is
less costly, lower in fat, and most
importantly, it tastes great." Take
my mother's advice and try out
this recipe. You will not regret it
and neither will your waist line.
Happy holidays and enjoy our

A Tastey Appetizer: Artichoke Heart Dip
By MELISSA BUTTRELL
For The Pride
As everyone knows, Thanksgiving is a time to spend with
your family but it is also a
time for food. Everyone always
stresses over what they are
going to make for Thanksgiving
dinner, but this is the trick. Here
is a recipe for an appetizer to
start your day off right. It is for
Artichoke Heart Dip; it is simple
and tastes great. And no one has
all the time in the world to cook
so this is good for everyone. But
before you can start you will first
need to get some ingredients
from the store.
2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
After you # have collected all
your ingredients you are ready
to begin. The first thing you
will need to do is set your oven
to 350 degrees. Drain and chop
all artichoke hearts. Then put all
your ingredients in a 9" by 13"
glass pan and mix. Bake at 350
degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow
it to cool. Do not forget to turn
your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are
taking it on the road or to a house
nearby, store it in something that
will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will
work just fine.
Your guests will be so
impressed by the dish that they
will think you slaved over the
stove for hours, but I guess what
they don't know won't kill them.

Thanksgiving is going to be here

be here before we know it. Before
we get too far ahead of ourselves
with the joy of Christmas let's not
skip over all the incredible food
that comes along with Thanksgiving.
The aroma of the turkey is
overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed
potatoes sit heaped up in bowls
on the table filled with cranberry
sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for
everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie
of some sort. The most popular
pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into
one pie? Well, we are going to

siempre era la misma respuesta
"todavía la estamos buscando
porque no la hemos encontrado."
Mi maleta desapareció de la faz

que estén
muy alertas con todas y cada una
de las cosas que hacen durante

si llegan con sus maletas al lugar

consejo para todos los viajeros
es que eviten ser víctimas de
esta corrupción que desafortunadamente está tan arraigada
en México. Si viajan por Aerocalifornia o por cualquier otra
aerolínea, tengan mucho cuidado
por que desgraciadamente esto
les puede pasar a ustedes también/Y debido a tanta burocracia
en México y a la falta de justicia,
es imposible hacer algo para
evitar que esto siga sucediendo.
Así que extrememos nuestras

tipo de aerolíneas irresponsables.

�OPINION
Dream of a World Unlike Dreamworlds
By JENNIFER AGEE
Pride Staff Writer
Disgust festering into rage...
cold chills and a clenched j aw...
a stomach as tight as every
muscle in your body... These
are just a few of some viewer's
reactions likely to be generated
by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in
Rock Video.
The effects of viewing this
55 -minute film are far-reaching
and long lasting. Dreamworlds,
a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to
be the most disturbing film you
have ever seen.
MTV actually threatened to
sue the producer and narrator
of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter
was sent to Jhally ordering him
to 'cease and desist' promoting
and using the video. In a crafty
altercation, Jhally was able to
frame the matter such that MTV
received bad press on the issue,
and so immediately ceased all
pressure from MTV. (You know
you're doing something right

and beyond. Emerging Leaders
is aimed at first year students to
take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple
to join, sign up at orientation
and show up at the first class.
The class is voluntary and will
hopefully be offered for credits
in years to come. It consists of
meeting one night a week for two
hours and a weekly typed journal
on a suggested topic. Poullard
refers to this years group as the
"dynamic dozen" and feels that
"it is at the GORE of what they
do in Student Affairs which is to
'empower students and to help
them find their own voice.
The program offers unique
opportunities such as having a
student/professor panel come
and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions
like Jonathan Kozol's before
his informative lecture at the
California Center for the Arts
of Escondido, and serving as a
"base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When
talking with the group members
about what ELP is, Colleen Lee
quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great
leadership skills in freshmen.
It helps us to learn who we are
an^ how effective we can be as
leaders." In addition to learning
leadership skills, Caroline Rizk
makes the point that "ELP is a
way f or freshmen to get involved
and build new friendships but it
is also a means of discovering
who we are and how the way we
believe affects the way we live,"
Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students
challenge each other in a highly
supportive class that culminates
with students developing their
own Leadership Action Plan."
People must be congruent with
themselves before they can lead
others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating
in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life
situations. The students involved
will be much more aware of who
they are and what they believe in
by the time this class is over.
"Most importantly though, the
ELP is about helping students
learn how they lead, and about
assisting students in making
positive s ociar change within
their community," said Poullard.
These youiig adults have had
much experience on the basics of
how to become a leader. The next
step is to take action and make
a difference on campus such as
Orientation Team as many of
these young leaders have applied
and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given
the opportunity to meet other
freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting
others with the same interests.
The advantage of having a small
group is that everyone knows
each other by name, Stephanie
Gaul jokingly added that "it's
group therapy, when you need
it" because there is mutual trust
and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive
atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and
learn about different leadership
roles on campus. Although it is
fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years
to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program
is definitely an invaluable vehicle
to obtain my future goals and
endeavors. I would recommend
this to absolutely everyone."
This group appears close-knit
and is "the beginning to a great
circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of
respect and love for people. It
has strengthened my morals and
self-realization," said Tiffany To.
Wright adds that "ELP is based
on the Social Change Model of
Leadership and takes students

Cal State San Marcos Is Experiencing Major Growing Pains!
Registratm And A d m i n i s ^ ^
Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes.
fair to other students. Why don't
they open school for winter and
summer sessions for the classes
that are harder to get during the
regular semester?"
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State University San
Marcos is a growing school.
The projected growth for the
future is to be as big a campus
as UCLA. This idea is very
feasible, considering the fact
that CSUSM has more land
than SDSU, which houses over
33,000 students to date. CSUSM
currently has just fewer than
7,000 students enrolled for the
Fall 2002 semester and the
expected enrollment for Spring
2003 is even more; one of the
reasons is because SDSU is not
accepting any new students for
Spring 2003. Many argue that
CSUSM does not offer enough
classes for the current students,
yet they expect to eventually
enroll upwards of a prospective
35,000 students.
Students preparing for next
semester by registering on-line
or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they
attempt to design a schedule that
will fit their needs, due t o their
appointment date or lack of class
availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated
students began Nov. 4th and will
continue until Dec. 6th for Spring
2003, via SMART Web or by
phone.

Fall
Grad
Reception
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
In honor of all the students
who will be graduating this
semester, there will be a Fall
Graduation Reception held
on Friday, December 13. The
ceremony will take place in a
tented area from 6:00 - 8:00
p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza,
which is in front of the new
Visual and Performing Arts
Building.
Speakers at the reception
will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez,
Dr. Francine Martinez and
ASI president Jocelyn Brown.
Although there is no dress
code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress
smart-casual.
Last year was the first year
that this event took place,
and it was said to have been
very nice. There will also be
refreshments to aid in the
festivities. Because seating is
limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should
let the Office of Student
Affairs office know as soon as
possible. Guests of graduates
should be limited to no more
than four people.
Because the specific names
of the graduates will not be
called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come
participate in the traditional
May 17th graduation at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds
For students having any
additional questions, please
call the Office of Student
A ffairs at 750-4056.

ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers

What Exactly Is Fair Trade
Coffee?
Brett Gladys, a member of the
programming board and one of
the students handing out coffee
explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and
farmers were paid a fair price
regardless of the market." Gladys
added that, "Fair Trade coffee is
also produced without pesticides
and forests aren't slashed and
burned to grow it." Noah Smith,
also a programming board
member, explained the coffee is
purchased from "People's Co-op
in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith
"promotes both organically
grown and vegetarian products."

with my class schedule across

Starting with registration for
Spring 2003 semester, a new
policy by the administration
notifies students of their registration date by campus email only.
Many students are frustrated
with the priority registration
dates, because they do not really
give them priority service.
Kadah added, "For example,
HTM 426 is a popular class
among Business majors and
there is only one section being
offered for the Spring 2003
semester. The class was filled
and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus,
giving me no chance i t getting
into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very
important for my major and the
other electives do not fill my
needs. By the time my priority
registration time came, it was
useless, because there were only
two electives classes available."
Kadah is still trying to get a
response from administration,
but does not have much hope of
getting registered and will try
crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the

�CSUSM Students Seizing International Education Opportunities
In line with a national trend, an increasing number of Cal State San Marcos students are expressing an interest in studying abroad.

High attendance numbers at

Cal State San Marcos students'
peaked interest in studying
abroad. The global affairs office
provided a series of informational sessions throughout this
fall semester, each of which
yielded a relatively large audience of students who were interested in study abroad programs.

In spite of disparate needs and

with an open mind in order to

Cal State San Marcos students'

interest
follows a national trend. The
number of American college
students receiving academic

increased 7.4% from the previous year, reaching a record total
of 154,168 students, according to
"Open Doors 2002," the annual
report on international education
that is published by the Institute
of International Education.
The most recent meeting, and
the last of the semester, was

What many students do not realize, said Dorado, is that financial
aid can be applied to programs
abroad.
Plus, like program
duration and destination, price
is highly variable and can range
from tens of thousands of dollars
to mere hundreds.
Associate Director of the
Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave
this advice to potential study
abroad candidates: "Students
need to take responsibility for
making sure that all the needed
paperwork and processes are
completed. in a timely manner.
They need to plan ahead and be
realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of
financial aid that can be used and
how much of their own resources
are available and to make decisions based on all those components."
Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior
double majoring in Literature
and Spanish, spent last summer
studying and traveling in Spain.
Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid"
to help cover tuition costs, and
so found herself with only the
plane ticket and spending money
as what she recalls were "the big
things I had to worry about."
Davis interprets the overall
costs as fairly insignificant. She
claims, "It doesn't cost that much
more to study abroad for a year
compared to living in San Diego
and going to CSUSM for one
year."
If students missed the informational meetings this semester
and are interested in what sorts
of programs are available in
international education, they
can visit the global affairs office
in Craven Hall 5211, or call
their office at (760) 750-4090.
However, one should prepare
her/himself because, as students
who have done it claim, s/he
may launch "the experience of
a lifetime."

Oberem also discussed the
process of making physics tutoring s oftware "intelligent", which
entails having a program that
has domain knowledge, teaching
strategy, and flexibility j ust as
humans do. Some of these "intelligent" physics computer tutors
are Albert, Photoelectric, and
Freebody; which have all been
designed by Oberem and are
currently used in CSUSM classrooms. In the case of Albert, it

during an exercise. However,
Albert can only b e used in

students to see some demonstrations," said Oberem about these
tutors.

although there are a lot of tutor
programs, Oberem said that they
are not u seful by themselves.
However, he a lso said that " there
are certain areas where it can

According to Oberem, one of
the challenges of designing these

First Annual Frisbee Competition

Friday Nov. 22nd marked the
First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum
Field in the Chavez Plaza. The
competition, which was open
for all clubs who wished to sign
up, involved only four teams,
consisting of: APSS (Asian
Pacific Student Society), PAN
(Progressive Activist Network),
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha
Chi Omega. The games were
hosted and refereed by CSUSM
student John Gehris and orga-
For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of
work and physical exhaustion.
The rules of the game involve
the two teams of five getting an
unlimited number of throws, but
the teammate with the frisbee
can only hold the frisbee for 10
seconds at a time. If the frisbee
is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides,
and a player cannot run with the
frisbee. A goal is scored when a
catch is made in the end zone.
The first match of the day
involved APSS vs. PAN, where
PAN came out with a devastating
victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes
and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding
factor in the match. The second
match was a blowout, with Sigma
Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha
Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi
Omega's strong point certainly is
not head to head frisbee, as they
struggled to even put a single
point on the board.
With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their
breath, the final match was
underway. Jumping to an early
lead in the final game, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon went up early
with a series of scores giving
them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion
of all great athletes and teams,
PAN refused to give in. Really
pulling themselves together,
PAN jumped back into the game
quickly scoring a remarkable 4
points in under 6 minutes. Even
though it was a great attempt
at a comeback, it just was not
enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon won the first
annual frisbee competition.
Each member of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon team won five $20
cougar cards and a handsome
22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a
small t urn out, the event seemed
to be a success, and the audience
enjoyed themselves. If any student is interested about competing in f uture frisbee tournaments

If you enjoy biographies or

by Julie Taymor, Frida is the
true story of the ever-tormented
painter Frida Kahlo, played by
Salma Hayek. From Kahlo's
unfortunate accident in her
youth to her most joyous days
and a bittersweet departure, the
movie depicts the life of one of
Mexico's most talented,artists.
The film chronicles Frida's
turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego
Rivera, played by Alfred
Molina. Frida is a romantic's

and drug abuse, Taymor manages to show how even the most

Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:

this month's entertainment, big
glove boxing was available for
students .on a break or walking
to their next class who were
willing to take punches from
some giant boxing gloves.
Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and
Services, CSUSM student John
Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students
to take their turn in the inflatable
ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their
shoes and wait in line to jump in
the ring. The enormous inflated
boxing ring was set right next to
Academic Hall and offered many
students who were walking by
a chance to release some of the
stress caused by their exams and
research papers.
The clear blue skies and warm
weather brought many students
outside to watch fellow students
bounce around like Sugar Ray
Leonard while throwing punches
at each other. With music blaring
and bullhorn calls summoning
the next victims, the ASI team
enthusiastically haggled students
to hop in the ring and throw a
few blows. Some students were
seen tossing the giant gloves
aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another.
"Let's get our professors in the
ring," a student yelled while
being tossed to the other side of
the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like
how ASI brings f un to campus, it
helps make being on campus all

Approximately every third
Tuesday of the month, ASI
brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un,
ASI featured a giant inflatable
batting cage.
"With activities like the big
glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling,
which is next month, we try to
bring some f un to campus," said
Cuevas. If students are curious
about the details of the next event
or where it will be held, they are
encouraged to keep an eye on

chronic disease that often begins
in childhood and is the number
one cause of disability, hospital
admissions and school absenteeism among children.
The overarching goal of the
California Endowment's asthma
initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality
of life for school-aged children
with asthma. CAFA aims to
reduce the environmental risk
factors that trigger asthma, particularly in rural and urban areas
with high rates of the disease.
The California Endowment
works with organizations and
institutions that directly benefit the health and well-being of
Californians. Their mission is
to expand access to affordable,
quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health
status of all Californians.
As listed in its website, The
California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation
with approximately $3 billion in

�A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab...
By JENNIFER JARRELL
Pride Staff Writer
For the past three semesters,
I've been an avid user of the
computers in the computer lab
here at San Marcos. When I
load "My Personal Settings,"
I've been saving the work I do
in places like: My Documents,
H: drive, and the desktop with
no problems whatsoever. So
when the- computer loads "My
Personal Settings," I feel safe to
save my work in places that are
labeled "My Documents." Why
else would it be labeled "My
Documents" if I couldn't save
work there?
Well... one day about two
weeks ago, I saved somei work to
"My Documents," logged off the
computer, and went to the Dome
for lunch. When I returned,
my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and
searched for it everywhere oil
the computer, but there were no
traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't
log off correctly, and someone
else had accidentally erased it.
So I went home to retype all my
work (thank God I had written
my essays by hand first on notebook paper).
fluke, I typed another paper in
the lab, but this time I was going
to save it to my zip disk. When
I looked in my bag for my disk,
I realized that I had forgotten it
at home. I saved my paper to the
desktop (again, like I have been
for three semesters now,) logged
off the computer, and went to the
student store to buy a new disk.
When I came back to the lab and
logged back on, my paper was
GONE! I asked the lab people
(student computer helpers) how
this could've happened since I've
been saving on the desktop all
semester.
One of the lab people told
me that there was a new policy
implemented where, as of two
weeks ago, students cannot save
on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work
will be erased with no possibility
of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask,
"Why wouldn't the lab people
put signs up EVERYWHERE
letting students know about
this "new thing?" Instead, I
walked swiftly out of the lab
and went straight home to redo
my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had
not pre-written my work in my
notebook.
in charge" of what goes on in the
labs. Instructional Computing
Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins
had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional
Computing labs, because these
are public machines, we only
allow students to save on their
own space: the H: space, a ZIP
diskette, or a floppy diskette.
This has been our policy for the
last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if
we allowed the students to save
to the C: drive." She continued
to say, "I am sorry that there has
been some misunderstanding
about where you can save a file.
Once you log off any machine, it
reverts back to a standard "clean"
slate for the next student. The
ONLY safe place to save a file is
the H: space, a floppy diskette, a
ZIP diskette, or a CD."
But that's not what Systems
Integration Specialist William
D. Craig told me. He stated,
"Each student at CSUSM is
allowed 50MB of storage space
on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The
only reason a student should run
into a problem saving a file to
the desktop or anywhere else on
the h: drive is when the student
is near or over his or her quota.
In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole
After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be
saved because the quota has been
reached." He added helpfully,
"If you lost a file that you had
saved to your desktop, I'd really
like to work with you to find out
what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There
may be an incorrect setting in
your account profile. Please call
or stop by at your convenience so
we can look into this problemi"
So what I want to know is,
basically, where am I allowed
to save my work? I feel that the
second half of the semester is a
bad time for students' work to be
disappearing. I'm not thè only
one this has happened to. There's
been a buzz around campus that
students have been losing their
files in circumstances similar to
mine. Because of this episode,
I will be especially safe to make
two copies of everything I do,
and I guess I've learned that the
hard way. But I still feel that
It would be best for students to
know what's going on before
they feel safe to save files just
anywhere on the computer.
unless absolutely critical. We
certainly do everything we can
to minimize the risk t o students'
data. If we did rn^ke a change
regarding something that would
impact most students, like
making the desktop "off-limits,"
we would certainly do so in a
way that would not result in the
loss of files, and only after giving
ample notice to the campus community beforehand."
Mr. Craig told me that this
whole incident was a glitch, and
will be dealt with. I certainly
.hope so, because this is the most
critical point in the semester, and
students should feel safe when
using the computer lab. Since
it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving
files in the lab, I would just like
to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true.
Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I
want to say that our department

�Cigarette smoking on CSUSM Making It Difficult for Students to Breathe
