I would be naive to compare my first opera experience with performances in the great opera centers, but for this
novice, it was a perfect introduction to opera. The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of
the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido.

English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra
played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por
ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves
from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of

Originally performed at the National Theatre, Prague, on October 29,1787, the opera revolves around the womanizing

�Recycling Changes...
CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday,
October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate
the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with
black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at
EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has
increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates
the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will
hold the following:
Newspaper
Mixed office paper
Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures
Chip board and file folders
Bound books, except hard covers
Telephone books
Greenbar paper
Ream wrappers
Envelopes, including those with styrene windows
Pizza boxes (all food removed)
Cereal and cracker boxes
Paper not acceptable for recycling:
Restroom paper
Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers)
Hardbound books
Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be
minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites,
though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past.
Other categories are as follows:
Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles
Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue
Aluminum remains the same.
"With your support and cooperation, we expect our recycling program to grow and make a difference in our environment while
saving our precious natural resources for the future."

reveals how the Greek statue Nike,
a symbol for victory, inspired her
to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day
with the same trust I have when
my art is unfolding." Minto continues, "Ray Bradbury said, 'You
have to jump off cliffs all the time
and build your wings on the way
down.' For me, completing the
Nike was like graduating to a new
stage of life, being transformed
from an earth-bound being to a
woman who can fly."
In addition to showing online
exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens
(non-inherited environmental fac-
tors that can cause cancers).
"Cancer is not only an epidemic,
but also a booming business," says
Professor Small. She pointed out
that some companies may be both
the cause and the cure for some
cancers. Particular companies may
release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are
companies, like one named
Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a
drug that can be used to treat some
breast cancers.
At the same time, Zeneca has
also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides.
Professor Small also discussed
"super-fund sites," Which are
extremely toxic chemical sites
found in the United States and
other countries. "There are things
we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small.
She felt that the public should at
least be aware and informed in
hopes that individuals may reduce
their exposure to the toxicity in
their environment.
Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983
when she studied the Bikini
Islands that underwent nuclear
testing by the United States from
the 1940's and 1950's. She says
that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer.

DEAR EDITORS:
This letter is in response to Joni Miller's letter regarding National Coming Out
Day. Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none
of this.
This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any
backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the
students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about
diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high
school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I
have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I
never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on
campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt.
One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers
on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out
Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG
time ago, and I urge others t o do the same,

'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET
By David Gottwald
Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new
semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the
Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an
array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay
down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently
hounded by at least four different major credit card companies.
Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of
North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the
other vendors taking up campus space, they have a great little scam going. Don't want a
credit card? Sign up a friend (or complete stranger walking by - 1 was asked twice) and
get a free T-shirt. Considering student loans and personal parental debt, I really don't
need another bill each month. No problem, they told me. It's a really small amount. No
annual fee. Etc. etc. The pluses began to weigh in on my judgment at this point, so it was
time for some serious analysis.

MEChA Chair
OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism
By Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
I've noticed that a "new" club
has been circulating literature
around campus recently. The
Young Americans for Freedom,
or YAF, that campus group you
thought disappeared long ago,
has resurfaced once again. YAF
says it "supports choices," many
of which seem to profoundly
affect my freedom. So, in
response, I 've decided to form
my own club, Ordinary
Americans against Fanaticism,
or OAF. Some of the items on
the YAF fliers circulating around
campus caught my eye, and, as
president, founder, and sole
member of OAF, I want to
respond to them here.
YAF says it supports the
choice to own any gun. OAF is
against being shot. OAF feels
that being shot goes against, not
for, freedom. OAF says, guns
d on't kill people, people with
unlimited access to guns kill
people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want,
let's lock up the ammunition.
YAF says it supports the
choice to deport illegal aliens.
OAF wants to know who's
going to bus YAF's table and
clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't
going to. Is YAF saying that
members have never picked up a
couple of guys from the local
alien hangout to clean up the
yard for five bucks an hour?
OAF doesn't approve of this situation, but acknowledges .that it

YAF supports "the choice to

YAF loves liberty so much, why
can't OAF encourage communism on campus if OAF wants
to? If YAF is such a big fan of
laissez-faire, why does it promote government interference
into OAF's bedroom?

Have you noticed the officers in blue on campus?
You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas
Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them.
After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos,
Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection.
"We are always o pen," says the Chief.
Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of
last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was
on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on
January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San
Marcos.
A new addition to the Police Department also
included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus.
Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units..
The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the
community and other nearby law enforcement agencies.
Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off
Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services
Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy
access for students.

Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs,
Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in
the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at
750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police.
Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions
to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community." You can reach the police

�PARKING Cont. From Pg. 1
increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an
exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking
spaces.
He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County,
and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus
shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion.
Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing
lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron
ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking
meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all
day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided
between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more
available parking spaces.
Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the
fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new
lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative
transportation."
DEAR EDITORS:
This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants.
Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the
perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for
lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General
Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives
to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the
strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we,
like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for
which we strive.
An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students'
needs.
In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully
request to retain our faculty permits.

New Faucet Change Complies with
ADA Standards
Mike Spangler
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
It is nice to give recognition to someone on
campus, especially for a j ob well-done.
Whether they realize it or not, Facilities'
Maintenance Mechanic Phyllis Ferguson has
students' and the university's best interests at
heart, and she takes pride in her work. "It really
bothers me when we see things that don't work
and we walk right by," says Ferguson.
In recent weeks, Phyllis, who will have
worked at CSUSM for four years come
November, changed 36 faucets in Academic
Hall. She wasn't supposed to. She was supposed to just repair the existing faucets and
only replace any needed parts. Apparently the
mixing chamber of the push-down type faucets
were malfunctioning, causing some students to
be scalded by unexpectedly hot water. Not long
after beginning the string of repairs, Phyllis
realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way.
Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours
to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning
parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the
existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine
maintenance for seven years. She learned that
the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then
she realized that the push-down faucets did not
comply with standards defined in the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she
proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the
Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets
be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each)
and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons
Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after
she drafted a formal proposal and performed a
three-faucet sample her idea was approved and
all of Academic Hall was fitted with new
faucets.
If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on
campus for four years, then why hadn't she
worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis
only just earned the title of Maintenance
Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in
three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only
in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most
recent skill she ha$ acquired.
What other changes are next on her list?
"The water fountains. I would like to see the
water fountains maintained a little better,"
humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets
things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are
very instrumental in accepting my ideas and
getting them implemented."
When asked why she would do so much for
such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I
like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile
because I like my job."
I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a
necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch
binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos,
other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I
carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays,
quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays
throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay.
This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does
not include additional revisions students will present for my comments
throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from
my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they
had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require,
and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and
heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching
paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the
student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106.
Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff."
Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position
as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other
"staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must
consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff"
in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in
the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate
by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified
"staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM.
I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media
center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and
office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice
weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all
faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for
teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM
can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty?
I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is
reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision
is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to
demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of
me.

State health officials offer
these safeguards to avoid Plague:
1) Avoid contact with wild
rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in
picnic or campground areas. 3)
Never handle sick or dead
rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked
into boot tops to reduce exposure
to fleas. Spray insect repellent on
socks and trousers cuff. 6)
People living in areas where
plague is known to occur should
keep wild rodents out of homes,
trailers and outbuildings.
Health officials also cite the
early symptoms of Plague as
high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the
neck, arm pit or groin, and advise
that people who develop these
symptoms seek immediate medical attention.
"It was such a frightful thing
that when it got into a house . . .
no one remained." "It" was the
Plague, and in the fourteenth
century, Marchione di Coppo
Stefani published The Florentine
Chronicle, a text that gives us a
vivid account of the Plague and
its destruction. Its devastation
was felt throughout Europe,
where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many
died unseen. So they remained in
their beds until they stank."
Today, the Plague still exists,
but without the devastating loss
of life. According to California
StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37
cases of the plague have been
confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt
diagnosis and proper treatment,
the disease is curable in its early
stages, but may be fatal if left
untreated. There have been no
cases of the Plague reported in
San Diego County.
The fourteenth-century Plague
and the twentieth-century Plague*
are the same one. H ie disease is
caused by a bacterium called
Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted
from rodent to rodent, by fleas.
When an infected animal
becomes sick and dies, the fleas
look for a new host. Animals and
people can become host to these
infected fleas and contract the
disease. The difference between
the Plague of medieval Europe
and the present Plague exists in
the treatment and understanding
of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission
was not understood. The
Europeans did, however, realize
that quarantine seemed to reduce
the spread of disease.
Unfortunately, without the
antibiotics necessary to destroy
the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free
reign over its hosts.
Giovanni Boccacio (The
Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with
"the appearance of certain
The P Ugue
swellings in the groin or the
armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed
with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms
of the disease changed, and many
people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms,
thighs, and other parts of the
body," until death occurred. And
according to Boccacio, "few of
those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death
occurred within three days from
the appearance of the symptoms."
The typical disease progression today would sound like the
case taken from California's
Monthly Morbidity Report
(11/95): May 1995, Kern County.
A 57-year-old white female was
admitted to the hospital with the
history of four days of fever,
headache, pain and swelling of
the right ankle and inguinal area
(groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The
inguinal swelling was confirmed
to be a bubo (inflamed or
swollen lymph node) infected
with y. pestis, and the woman
was treated with the proper
antibiotics. She remained in the
hospital for approximately ten
days, and was released in good
condition.
The Plague does exist, and
will continue to exist.

Mark Wallace kicks off literary series
Intellectual experience for campus and San Marcos community members
Professor Spotlight
A l ook i nto t he l ives o f CSUSM p rofessors •
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
On Sept. 29, Professor Mark
Wallace read from his book,
"The Quarry and the Lot," as the
first event of CSUSM's fall 2011
Community and World Literary
Series.
In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate
professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave
students, faculty and the general
public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the
author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid
presentation that was both personal and professional.
A brief introduction, presented
by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002
Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and
authored more than 15 books
and chapbooks of poetry, fiction
and essays. Also, other countries
translated Wallace's writings into
several other languages.
Following the introduction,
Wallace read several short poems
from his collection titled "Belief
is Impossible." Wallace's poetry
proposed ideas and questions that
gave the audience something to
consider. These considerations
came from lines about art, poetry
and thought-provoking questions
directed at the audience.
Wallace then read from "The
Quarry and the Lot," published
earlier this year. The plot of the
;
Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day
Pride Staff Writers
K imber Q u i n n e y
novel follows a group of friends
who reunite following the death
of a childhood friend. Wallace
wrote the novel using four voices
that alternate between the past
and the present.
Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter
ensuing from the audience. He
then advised that when doing a
reading, one should not do voices.
A narration about childhood
experiences, including a reckless
bicycle stunt, first introduced the
audience to the character Nick.
After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The
Quarry and the Lot," introducing
the audience to another character,
Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's
voice embodied Amelia as she
spoke of Joseph romantically and
admiringly, seeing him as not just
another one of the boys, but as
something deeper. From Amelia's
perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst-
ridden youth trying to escape
bleak suburbia.
An opportunity for audience
members to ask Wallace any
questions followed the reading.
These questions ranged from different topics including his book,
writing style and writing process.
Many students voiced what they
thought of Wallace's published
work.
"I had read ["The Quarry and
the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on
the different characters," Liberal
Studies major Kelsey Carmichael
said.
For those who are unfamiliar
with a guest speaker's work, the
Community and World Literary
Series offers audience members
a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers
as they share their work and give
insight into their writing process.
The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain
on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

Breast C ancer Awareness
Community activities for a cause
Juliana Stumpp
Pride Staff Writer
October is the month of breast
cancer awareness.
According to the Susan G.
Komen website, in 2011, there
will be 230,480 new cases of
breast cancer in the United States.
Donating money to the American
Cancer Society helps conduct
more research to help find a cure
and save millions of lives.
This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold
their annual "Fight for the Cure"
in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the
event, school organizations such
as the Campus Activities Board
(CAB), • Health and Wellness
center, Women's Center and The
Clarke plan to have information
tables.
"I don't think [students] realize
the importance of getting tested
as women," Alicia Perry from
ASI said.
Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be
involved in raising money. In
previous years, ASI attempted to
put together a Powder Puff game
where students pay to play the
game and the proceeds went to
the American Cancer Society.
"We would have an issue trying"
to get people to sign up because
they wanted their free time to do
something else," Perry said. "Our
goal is to raise funds for research
and to get as many people involved."
This year, ASI is trying a new
approach to raise money. ASI is
getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting
way called "Hotties in Heels."
The event entails a group of
young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to
American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness.
If you see a cross dresser walking
around campus, be sure to take a
picture with him and your friends
and give him a tip for dressing up
for a great cause.
"Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer" will hold an event in
Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday,
Oct. 16. It consists of a three to
five mile walk. If students are
interested, attend "Fight for the
Cure" and visit the CAB table to
sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team.
For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the
Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The
event is located in the Macy's
parking lot in the Promenade
Mall. Hundreds of local vendors
will give away free merchandise
and sponsor activities for participants.
Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells
for Boobs" took place at CrossFit
San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action."
Zionna Mnouz founded the
foundation. Mnouz went to get
a mammogram in 2009, but was
denied the test because she was
twenty-six-years-old. Six months

Happy Hour of the Week:
BJ's Restaurant a nd Brewhouse
A taste of downtown, in Carlsbad
Kristin Melody
Pride Staff Writer
A good microbrew and a deep
dish pizza always make for one
hour of happiness. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad
provides enough variety to satisfy
any palette.
BJ's motto, "Discover why it's
always Happy Hour at BJ's,"
proved to be valid not only for its
tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for
their award-winning beers. BJ's
is more refined than your average
dive bar and their menu supports
the ambience with a wide variety
of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and
fish and chips. The most creative
thing to do is to build your own
deep dish pizza using ingredients
including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that
unique pizza with a specialty beer
($3.95 during happy hour), most
notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's
Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer,
to create a meal all your own.
BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs
a "Brewer Blog." After you've
filled up on tasty beer and pizza,
direct your eyes to the must try
"Pizookie" dessert: your choice
of a baked cookie covered with
two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
The happy hour deals offer $1
off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have
specials like half off all wine
on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito
Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs
from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday
and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday.
BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent
of downtown San Diego, with an
indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an
expansive bar, stylish decoration
and friendly service. It is part of
the attractive dining and shopping
scene near the Carlsbad Flower
Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still
provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of
Carlsbad.
BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse
is located on Paseo del Norte in
Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday,
11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m.
Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight
Sunday.
Inventive professor challenges
traditions in entrepreneurial class
Pride Staff Writer
If you enroll in the College of
Business Administration's new
Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't
expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow.
He's teaching his students to
become dreamers.
The first-time professor at Cal
State San Marcos doesn't have a
syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding
points to students who effectively
challenge his ideas, regardless of
whether they're right or wrong!
Landow says he pushes his
student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is
the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs.
He should know. Landow is
the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment
firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based
Bond Laboratories, where he
oversaw the development of new
consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and
the hangover prevention drink
Resurrection.
Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen,
ability to feel, ability to envision
or see what's not there yet and the
ability to sell."
To teach his students these
traits, Landow's first project this
semestèr was to have them form
teams to create lemonade stands,
the foundation for all young entrepreneurs.
In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his
students about how to name their
drink stands.
"Understand a lemon," he said.
"The first priority to naming a
product or business is like naming your first child."
And when telling students
how to choose partners for their
stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected,
not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear."
Students in Entrepreneurship
320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By
the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop
a marketable product or service.
While owning a successful business is the goal of most
students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich
isn't necessarily a goal Landow
espouses. He said he encourages
charitable giving as a way for
business owners to expand their
sales and do good in the world;
"The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said.
"Don't overlook the need to give
back. You can make better contacts through charity than through
business. How thrilling is it to do
something for someone else? I
can't tell you why, (but) it's more
fulfilling."

Where's the value in higher education?
Blaine H. Mogi!
Pride Staff Writer
In 1960, the California State
Department of Education drafted
a 230-page., 15-year master plan
for the University of California,
California State College (later
CSU) and community college
systems with the goal of saving
the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition."
At the time, those heady words
referred to the competition between the three upper education
systems. But with today's tuition
costs rising rapidly at the UC and
CSU campuses, the Department
of Education should be more concerned about competition from
colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal
threat.
At a meeting of the UC Regents,
Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a
budget proposed by UC leaders
would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the
next four years.
If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students
could soar north of $22,000 by
fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the
system that year could expect the
cost of their diploma to exceed

While the price hikes for CSU
students have been widely reported, one statistic that has gone
largely unnoticed is an analysis

state in the higher education system, $16 iii revenue is produced
for the state, according to Erik
Fallis with the CSU Chancellor's
office.

Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and
ask ourselves the big question:
why are we here (and by "here,"
I mean college)? Why are you—
one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher
education? Don't spout out some
canned response about the terrible
economy and having "no other
choice" but to attend school. The
fact is that you are here for you.
The sad part about attending
college at Cal State San Marcos
is the perception of a "commuter
campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and
gets on with his or her life. The
next time you're rushing to beat

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions,

all hurrying to "get out" on time,
but sometimes we just need to
take a breath and appreciate what
a college campus can offer.
So stick around a while after

Get involved. Do something that
will feed your soul. Join a club,
a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander
into the Cross-Cultural Center,

A little more p arking for

If you are a student at CSUSM,
you're probably a commuter.
Therefore, you understand what
it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own
a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for
a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it
would be nice to have a parking
spot close to the dorms. Yet you
still find yourself racing through
the dorms trying to beat someone
to the only available parking spot.
This year, CSUSM welcomed
its new and returning students
to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely
made an impact for those who
may háve to walk back and forth
to campus and their car. Now
that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever
seen. I typically arrive to school
around 9 a.m., and by then, floors
one through three are completely
packed, four is mainly empty and
the congestion begins again on
floors five and six.
I am greatful for the structure
but I will admit, driving to the
sixth floor can be such a bother.
I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts
on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when
she said, "[The parking structure]
is pretty good because it is great
to have such an easy access to
parking as opposed to having to
struggle to find some when you're
rushing to class."
As someone who is late almost
every single day, I believe the
new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find
parking.
Though the new structure is
both convenient and accessible,
being a student and paying the
prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls.
Perez continued,"The prices are
incredibly hurtful to anyone's
wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee."
This year, an academic year
parking pass which is valuable
for both fall 2011 and spring 2012
costs $643 (currently sold out).
If you want to buy your pass for
each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a
little cash for each semester, you
could always chose to pay for the
X, Y, and Z parking pass for the
semester which will only run you
$254. If you really want to save ~
some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only
run you $70 per semester.
If you decide that it would be
easier to buy daily passes, the
rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five
hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for
one hour. Let's face it; who has
this kind of money laying around?

On Sept. 16, the wait was finally over as "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" was released in stunning Blu-ray in North America.
Since then, the set has shattered
Blu-ray sales records. According
to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The
Complete Saga has earned over
$84 million worldwide in one
week on Blu-ray.
Though sales are strong, the set
is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every
release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this
release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene
in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the
Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and
new dialogue added to Obi-Wan
in "A New Hope." Perhaps some
welcome the changes and regard
them as a new feature to enhance
the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority
of fans who love and enjoy the
theatrical releases of the films.
The average customer review
for "Star Wars: The Complete
Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5
stars on Amazon.com. Skimming
through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an
overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films.
Like many fans before me, I am
no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days
of "Han shot first," fans have
slowly lost faith in their beloved
saga. What disappoints me most
is the unfortunate reality that we
as fans have no voice in the future
of "Star Wars." How many years
must we wait until Lucas will
provide us with theatrical cuts
in high definition? As a die-hard
fan, I don't want to have a new,
updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years.
I want to remember the series for
what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I
would purchase "Star Wars: The
Complete Saga" had the set come
with both the theatrical cuts and
the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though
the set would cost more, I would
pay (almost) any price to see the
original classic films restored to
visual perfection.
While the Blu-ray releases may
have a wealth of bonus features
and documentaries, I will not
purchase the set due to all the
changes. Many of us fans will
continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may
take. If growing up with "Star
Wars" taught us anything, there
will always be a new hope... for a
little fan service.
I am not ashamed to say that I
love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras"
even though People Magazine
and CNN say I should be.
Here in California, child beauty
pageants are few and far between.
But in the southern U.S., pageants
take over hotel conference rooms
nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three
months.
Many publications recently
printed less than comprehensive
coverage of the hit show after a
3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie
"Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's
character is a prostitute.
Similar costuming includes a
4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a
2-year-old dressed as Madonna.
I will concede to the argument
that beauty pageants for children
are not age appropriate in any
sense. Considering that the infant
categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than
a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling,
crying or sleeping, baby across a
stage, there is little support for the
case that the parent is doing the
pageant because the child wants
to.
This is the cardinal problem
with children in beauty pageants:
crazy, scary moms want to be on
stage, so they live vicariously
through their daughters (and
sometimes sons).
Actually, apart from the whole
age appropriateness ordeal (and
the obscene amounts of money
people spend),.that's pretty much
the only real issue with beauty
pageants.
When a kid lacks his or her own
. agency to decide to go onstage,
then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption
than most politicians do when it's
time comes to grace the pageant
stage (YouTube her and you'll see
what I mean). With catch phrases
that include " I'm not doing what
you tell me," "Well, where's my
drink?" and "Put me down so I
can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie
dolls spouting any number of her
hilarious lines.
I guess, if you really wanted to,
you could say this ball of energy
is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you
could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera.
However, the portrayal of
these children is meant to shock
viewers and leave them, mouths
agape, waiting for the next
week's installment. I feel I should
also mention that TLC has hired
the best TV editing team that
ever existed; they truly make the
show far more entertaining than it
should be.
Shame on CNN for trying
to make me feel bad. Sure, I
wouldn't recommend the many
CSUSM students with young
children to watch "Toddlers &
Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment.
CNN: pick on somebody your
own size.

us the hope that the show can be
equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott.
It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk
into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre
Scranton branch, but the season
opened with a hilarious story line:
planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected,
as Meredith was caught planking
under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for
the surprise of new management.
We learn in the beginning of the
opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo
(Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own
job but returned to work out of
the meeting room. Pam (Jenna
Fischer) was especially sensitive
due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are
expecting their second child, a
son, as well as Angela (Angela)
expecting her first child with her
husband, the senator (whom we
were led to believe was gay). The
biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew
Bernard (Ed Helms) was named
branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether
he can successfully run a branch,
we can all agree that he truly cares
about the office and his heart is
in the right place. Personally, I
was confused why he would be
named manager, since I figured
the producers were planning to
go in a different direction as far
as personality. We both know that
Michael Scott and Andy Bernard
are both known to cause mishap
around the office.
Last week's episode was one
that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy
handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to
upset anyone or coming off as'
too strict but also wanting work
to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new
team of warehouse workers to
take oyer since the old ones quit
after winning the lottery. Since
Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin,
Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried
desperately to figure out how to
load the reams of paper into the
delivery truck through trial and
error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended
with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was
"muy rapido." The buzz around
the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you
won the lottery?" As always, Jim
and Pam (affectionately known as
PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend
their "fantasy" life after winning
the lottery. Andy surprised us all
when he took charge in getting
Darryl back into the mood of actually working.
Though I am accustomed to
the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I
am excited for the future of "The
Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how
Andy will hopefully prove my
expectation of failing wrong. If
you weren't able to catch it, you
can always watch it the day after
airing on http://wwwiiulu.com.
"The Office" airs on NBC every
Thursday at 9 p.m.
The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It
introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts'
many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd
even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season
featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The
Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway
musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have
created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed
in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning
the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing."
In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April
Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside
William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele.
t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range.
Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron)
realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't
choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and
KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for
a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically.
Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed
the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck
playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect
ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a
tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our
seats for season two.
Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed
"dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather
Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her
amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced
to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked
the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast.
Season two also introduced viewers to the character
Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around
"Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere.
Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd
competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted
viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt.

jOctober's Feature: "We Bought A Zoo,"
by Benjamin Mee
Nostalgic novel steals hearts
Kyle M. Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
It should come as no surprise
that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We
Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo.
In his novel, Mee documents
his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up
until the opening day. In the
midst of this overwhelming
yet exciting process, tragedy
strikes when Mee's wife dies.
Instead of putting life and the
zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset
of opening day as a productive
distraction from his loss.
Mee's accounts of this time
in his life are heartwarming
and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between
moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced
with humorous or even tense
interactions between the humans and the animals.
However, Mee's storytelling
is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His
story often feels as if you are
listening to someone recount a
series of incidents while often
withholding any conversations
that may have taken place during the events.
With the story being told
from Mee's point of view, his
illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling. His ability
to be touched by subtle ges-

With every Halloween comes
opportunities to get your scare on
and face your fears (if you dare
to) with Halloween themed attractions. Haunted Trail, Haunted
Hotel and The Scream Zone are
three of San Diego's well-known
places that are sure to make your
blood run cold. These events are
annual running from as early as
late September all the way until
Halloween night.
San Diego's Haunted Trail has
guests take an eerie nighttime
trail trek with shocking surprises
awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is
not for children under 10, and they
do not recommended it for those

strobe lights and intense scares.
The Haunted Trail opened back in

Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1

the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45
p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General
admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17
on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Haunted Hotel is the San
Diego Halloween haunted house
attraction that has been around
the longest and therefore has built
notoriety. The attraction takes
its guests down a "Hellevator"
below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies,
ghouls and even Freddy Krueger
himself. This attraction is open
Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 .
On Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays the hotel is open from
7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1
a.m. and on Halloween night the
hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and
scares, the Haunted Hotel is not

various ghouls and creatures.
The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house
with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction
is not recommended for children
under 10). Finally, The Chamber
takes guests into a labyrinth of
frightening proportions featuring
what the Scream Zone's website
states is "the largest 'spinning
tunnel' in San Diego." Prices
depend upon the patron's choice
of haunt (or haunts, if you dare).
The triple haunt (which includes
all three attractions) is $27.99. A
double haunt includes the Chamber and the House of Horror or
the Haunted Hayride and costs
$18.99. A single haunt consisting
either of the House of Horror or
the Haunted Hayride is $14.99.
There are also group sales and
military discounts available for
visitors. For more info on the
prices and directions, visit www.

by sharing information about
the disease and providing ac-
cess to screening services for
early detection and prevention.
According to the Susan G.
Komen website, wwwJcoipen.
org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All
women (and even some men) are
susceptible to the disease, and
over 200,000 new cases of breast
cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Apart from skin cancer, breast
cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most
successfully treated. Regular
mammogram screenings, MRIs,
and ¿linical breast exams are
imperative to the detection and
treatment of breast cancer. The
key to success comes with prevention through early detection.
^The earlier the detection of breast
cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes. While women follow health guidelines and armor

never received a flu vaccination,
get two doses of the flu vaccine
spaced four or more weeks apart.
People with the highest
risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women,
people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with
long-term health problems.
Although it is not possible to
get the flu from a flu shot, there
is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications
include, but are not limited to,
low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body
aches, according to CVS phar-
macies. Side effects usually last
no longer than one to two days.
To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies
offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two
and 49 with no health problems.
The CVS pharmacy across
from campus also offers flu
vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for
vaccinations are Oct. 29 from
1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1
to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does
not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS
FOR EXPULSION
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Think your essays and past class notes
are worth more than just a letter grade?
Think not. Selling class notes, past tests,
or even essays breaks the student code of
conduct that can lead to expulsion from
the university and the entire CSU system.
A recent press release from Bridget
Blanshan, the Dean of students here at
CSUSM, discussed that CSU students
had participated in selling class notes to
a third party site for money. According
to the press release, this is prohibited
under student code of conduct section
41301 of title 5 of the California Code
of Regulations. The penalty includes
expulsion. "Unauthorized recording,
dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose."
Students may think selling lecture
notes seems to be a practical way of
getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty
can cost them their entire education.
"If a student took time to study and
is willing to sell their class notes, it is
their prerogative. It becomes an issue
on personal integrity and it shouldn't
be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science.
Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student
status from the California State Uni-
versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures.
Countless businesses try to entice
students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other
students through stresses of college.
"I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible
and goes to class everyday and takes
his/her own notes versus a slacker that
can just buys the notes from someone
else, its not fair," continued Collins.
Sharenotes.com states on their
website that their environment allows students to share, download, or
buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for
all subjects from over 100 colleges.
"Working at the bookstore, I notice
all the new textbooks and how much
each semester the class materials change.
It must be hard to sell class notes that
keep up with the changes," said Collins.
The student conduct case generated
by the Associate Vice President and the
Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates
that there were 113 incidents reports of
academic misconduct referred by faculty.
Though the nature of all these incidents
are not explicitly detailed, three resulted
in suspension and 51 resulted in academic
probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09.
trip. You get a great experience,
make new friends, and visit new
places while helping others."
This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students
to "get a chance to work with a
great organization like Habitat
for Humanity and help build new
homes for those in need," said
Gallegos. "Along with working
during the days at our home sites,
we provide opportunities for the
students to attend different activities at night to see what there is
to see. Even though it is a week
of service, it still is Spring Break,
so we still want to have fun."
CSUSM is just one of the many
universities nationwide that takes
part in this service program, as it
provides. students more options
considering what to do for their
school breaks. Organizations like
Habitat for Humanity have also
benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students
who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier
said, "It is such a humbling and
fun experience, and it makes
you realize how truly lucky you
are; that is something we all
seem to forget now and then."

The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings
afety o the wake of school
Reviewing c
BY FAITH ORCINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
On Oct. 8, shots were fired
at Kelly Elementary School in
Carlsbad. Many of the young
students were on the playground
during the shooting, but only two
were injured. Local construction
worker Carlos Partida stopped
the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke,
with his truck. Steven Kane,
a co-worker of Partida, helped
Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a
mental evaluation, O'Rourke
was booked into jail on several
charges including two counts
of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school.
A judge from the Vista Court
later arraigned him on Oct. 13.
In a country where people
have therightto ownfirearmwith
a proper license, there are reports
of criminal accidents concerning
people firing or simply carrying
guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS)
recorded 38 armed robberies,
which is a decrease compared to
103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El-
ementary, but it was not the same
situation in other school shootings.
Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and
systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus.
School faculty and staff do their
best to prepare themselves and
their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students
on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any
other dangerous
situations.
That's the situation in most
elementary and high schools,
but what do you do in the independent world of college? For
some, it has been years since
they last reviewed the steps of
a school lock-down. Luckily,
California State University San
Marcos has several resources
for everyone in the campus
about awareness and procedures.
The campus police offer the
Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs
students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find
safety. Some GEL classes have
the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they
can simply go to the CSUSM
website and head over the University Police Video Series page
to watch the "Shots Fired Video."
If you do see any crimes, simply
call 911 or the campus police at
(760)750-4567. Especially right
now, with the mountain lion
warning, UPD is a good number
to have programmed into your
cellular phone. CSUSM updates
the campus alert system once information is given about events.
The school also has a program
called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of
campus police are also available
to escort you from anywhere on
campus to your vehicle or resident
hall, between the hours of dusk
and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe.
According to the CSUSM
University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our
campus community above all
else." Even though classes may
be hectic, rest assured student
and faculty safety is guaranteed.

An abridged voter guide for the upcoming California state elections
COMPILED BY SANDRA
CHALMERS, JENNA JAUREGUI, AND AMY SALISBURY
In light of the upcoming elections, The Pride compiled short
explications of the state propositions we feel will most directly
affect CSUSM students. To
learn more about the propositions and the groups that support and oppose them, visit

Proposition 19: Legalizes

governments to regulate and tax
commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana.
Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21
years of age or older to possess,
cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana
would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was
on school grounds, smoking in
public, or in the presence of minors. Prop 19 would still prohibit

These fees differ from taxes as
they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use

to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements

PRIDE STAFF WRTIER
Pumpkin carving may be a
long tradition started in childhood
for some, while to others, it may
be completely new. Either way,
pumpkin carving is a simple and
fun way to put your creativity on
display for the Halloween season.
The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the
length of centuries, though its
association with Halloween is a
little more recent. People used to
carve and light objects like gourds
in order to welcome the spirits of
loved ones while also using the lit
creations to keep out unfriendly
spirits. This once specific activity
has expanded to many places and
fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say,
pumpkin carving may just be the
one Halloween pastime that can
be enjoyed at any age, in any way.
It can also be a complicated
process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt
to carve. As with most art projects,
the possible ideas and designs are
endless, so the basics are a good
place to start. The tools used to
carve pumpkins can consist of
everyday kitchenware and tools
found in the garage. Large,knives
are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will
make removing the pumpkin's
innards easy and quick. Pencils
and markers can be used to layout
your design before you start to
carve. Check out Google for sites
that have downloadable stencils to
get you started. As for the design
details, it all depends mostly on
what you want for the pumpkin.
Here are some tips to begin the
baSic pumpkin carving process:
1. Cut around the stem of the
pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in.
2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra
clean, use the scooping spoon to
remove any extra pumpkin seeds
and scraps off the inside walls).
3. After figuring out the side
you want to place the design on,
sketch out the design with a pencil
or pen. Carve out the shapes with
a knife, then push the pieces out.
4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place
it carefully inside, and watch
your
jack-o'-lantern
glow!
For more information on the
carving process, check http://
www.pumpkincarving 101 .com.
Creative stencils can be found
at sites like DLTK's Crafts for
Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays.
com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm).
Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to
individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last
forever and will dehydrate and
rot, so take pictures right away
to document your creations. If
you intend on extending your
pumpkin's preservation there
are many methods to keep it
from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one
cheap option for postponing the
inevitable a little longer (http://
www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

nection to the sport," she said
about her first coaching gig. "I
wanted to give back; I ended
up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure."
From there, things began to fall
into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly.
Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly
led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University
of Indiana. She has also traveled
as a coach to Croatia, leading
an American squad in a global
challenge, and in 2006 served
as the assistant coach for the
USA Junior National A2 team.
Regardless of the exotic and
faraway places in which she has
coached, Gustin is impressed
Some people never in*
tended to become parents.
Some people never intended
to become volleyball coaches.
It
just
happens.
After nearly four perfect years
playing Volleyball for Michigan
State University, in which she
made the all Big-Ten Conference
team three times, Sarah Gustin
suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back
to Southern California in 2000
and signed ojx to be an assistant
coach at Vista High School/Less
than 10 years later, she has been
hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM.
"I really felt a strong con-
lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the
association will be far from easy.
"It'll be tough that first year.
[NAIA teams are] equivalent to
the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of
them could beat Division I teams."
Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of
her. The keys to everything
have been handed over by the
school, including scheduling
games, administrative duties,
and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed
with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool."
Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an
idea of what it will be like.
with what CSUSM has to offer.
"I love it [here]. It's an
easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work."
Speaking
of
recruiting,
consider Gustin the resident
expert in San Marcos. She
also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist.
Her recruiting here will
mostly be done locally, an area
that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her
from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants
to live in Southern California."
Like the other sports programs,
Gustin's Volleyball team will
spend the 2011-12 season as an
NAIA independent. Though the
NAIA is often thought of as the
"I have a very close Mend
who started a [NCAA Division

said, 'you're crazy, why would
you want to start a program from

about it until I took the job, but
he called me and said, 'Hey,
crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of."

to
9-1-5 on the year.
Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1.
It was a big contest between
two conference rivals, and while
the Cougars weren't at their best,
they were good enough to win.
CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle
18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks
advantage. The Eagles' defense
saved three balls off the back
line, keeping the contest close.
But the Cougars did manage
to get a pair of shots past, both in
the first half. In the 19th minute,
Shelby Bush was taken down in
the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0.
Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between
defenders, Johnson loaded up and
blasted a shot from about 20 yards
out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net.
The goal is Johnson's 10th

Paprika (2006)
The late Satoshi Kon released his animated mind-thriller "Paprika" in 2006. Based
off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of
dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and
her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the
dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world.

Karas (2005)
Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural
community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for
the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and
supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film
work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images.
The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko."
Let the Right One In (2008)
The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed
by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band
of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a
vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The
pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection
from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects
it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and
violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary
experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and
vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will
never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year.

AUDITION
The Blair Witch (1999)
The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen
again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this
film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather,
Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in
hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween.

Audition (1999)
Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made.
This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to
slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would
take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your
memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about.
By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture
scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing.

Acting as more of a prequel of the
2007 film of the same name, "Paranormal Activity 2" follows a family that
has a deep connection to the characters
of the first film. While the film delivers
plenty of surprises that will have you
jumping out of your seat, the overall
experience will leave you feeling just as
empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm.
Without spoiling the film's events,
"Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story
of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter
Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian
Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden)
find their lavish home quite literally
shaken from a mysterious supernatural
force. Each reacting to the unnerving

footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds.
It isn't until things get out of control
that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film.
With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity
2" functions in exactly the same way
as the first. You may jump from a few
scenes that are designed to garner that
exact reaction, but by the time the film
is over, you will feel just as disappointed
as you did upon leaving the first film.
The film succeeds in making you tense
and nervous and as long as you can get
past the complete failure of the sudden
ending, you will have a great time being
creeped out by basement doors and dark
staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween.

How to Train Your Dragon
DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year. Directors Chris
Sanders and Dean DeBlois transformed Cressida Cowell's book into a feature film. The movie focuses on the

In order to be recognized, Hiccup attempts to slay a dragon of his own. His plan does not go as planned and

was selected to accommodate as many

BY CHRIS GIACAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This Spring, Cal State San
Marcos will be holding the sixth
annual Student Media Festival.
The Student Media Festival
is a celebration of thefilmsof
the creative minds on campus.
The Visual and Performing Arts
Department hold the event each
spring on campus.
The festival allows students
to use their creative prowess to
produce afilmfor an audience.
Furthermore, the festival highly
encourages students to participate and submit their works for
the chance to gain recognition
from their peers. It also gives
students the opportunity to be
discovered by those in the film
industry seeking new talent.
Many entries will be accepted,
however only a jselect few will
be presented at the festival itself.
The festival grows each year,
so students are encouraged to
polish their films early in order
to increase their chances of being
featured.
The pieces are judged by a
jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include
Best Social Justice Project, Best
Personal Memoir, Best Experi-
mental/ Performance Work, Best
Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such
as Apple Store gift certificates,
computer software and hardware,
and cash prizes.
Students from all majors are
welcome to participate and place
their entry in the festival and are
free to choose their own subjects.
However, thefilmtopics are
dependent on the category they
are competing for. Subjects in
the past have ranged from the
lighthearted such as bowling,
cats, and jabs atfilmproduction
to more serious topics like drugs,
cancer, and foreign culture.
Johnathan Berman of the
Communications Department explains, "What's great about this
festival is that it showcases and
celebrates the creative work of
students from across the campus
and allows us to share this work
with fellow students, friends,
family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals."
The festival is open to the
public and admission is free and
will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival
was hosted by actor Jose Yenque
who has beenfilmedin programs
such as "Law" and Order: S VU,"
"CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film
"Traffic."
The deadline for turning in
films is in the spring, so there is
plenty of time to start working
on entries. The festival will take
place sometime at the end of the
Spring 2011 semester.

Six Best Halloween Costumes of
2010
1. Lady Gaga
2. Avatar's Na'vi
3. Jersey Shore Characters
4. Harry Potter Characters
5. Vampires/Twilight Characters
6. Alice In Wonderland Characters
Six Worst Halloween Costumes of 2010
1. Giant Baby
2. Darth Vader
3. Ethnicities
4. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress
5. Male Crotch Outfits
6. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman
Here's Why:
Lady Gaga - Who doesn't
want an excuse to wear a
blonde wig and no pants?
"Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't
clean out the Academy Awards f or
nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing
more supernaturally magical than
being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension.
"Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o
is probably the best way to pay
homage to the show we are all
secretly - or not - obsessed with.
"Harry Potter" Character - Deep
down inside, a lot of us are still
waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard.
Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books.
You
watched
the
movies.
You have the soundtracks.
You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight.
"Alice in Wonderland" Characters
- Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so
many different people, i t's only fair
to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party.
Here's Why Not:
Giant Baby - because they freak
people out. Adults in diapers are
very
unattractive... and
creepy.
Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would
defeat the purpose of even attempting to be
old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a
smoker who has just conquered the Cesar
Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot.
A Black Person, when you are not - There
is always someone every year at every
party that somehow thinks it is a good idea
to dress up as a black person eVen though
they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if
you do not mean it in an offensive way.
Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be
popular, but forgetting this outfit will do
the rest of the world a favor. Recreating
the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore
to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is
not only gross, but highly un-hygienic.
You might as well wear fresh road kill.
The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's
a horse peeking out from a stable saying
"petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's
highly arrogant to think anyone will want
to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey
(considering how little fabric is used).
Greenman - Famous from "It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is
an awkward green tight spandex unisex
body suit that does not show your face.
Its body-hugging form shows a little
more than people would like to see and
makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.
