Massive Campus Clean Up
By ADRIAN OJNDIFF
Pride StaflfWriter
Fires devastate San Diego County sending a snowstorm of ashes and smoke into the air that consumed
everything. The fires directly or indirectly affected all
students living on campus. Many students who live on
campus complained about problems relating to breathing
due to the large cloud of smoke that hovered over the
campus all week. Others got sick and complained about
havingflu-likesymptoms.
Not only was the campus closed for students who live
off campus but also for students who live on campus as
well. Students who live on campus were not able to use
the computer lab, study or do research in the library, or
workout in the gym for one week.
The air quality around campus caused one student to
have an asthma attack that sent her to the emergency
room last Monday. Olivia Roldan, Liberal Studies
major, said that her limbs got numb and as she waited
in the emergency room her hand got paralyzed as she
checked in.
Roldan lives on campus and according to her the
smoke was unbearable. The smoke around campus
caused her asthma to act up even though her seasonal

Last week the San Diego County wildfires engulfed Cal
State San Marcos with unhealthy air and spread soot and
ash all over the campus. Although President McTarnaghan
closed the campus to students, faculty and administrators,
Facility Services were on hand cleaning up the campus
and replacing air filters in all the buildings to ensure the
campus would be safe for classes to resume on Nov. 3.
In response to the hazardous atmosphere surrounding
the campus, Facility Services spent Friday changing all the
airfiltersin each building.
"We're taking preventative measures by changing all the
airfiltersin the buildings," said Chuck Walden, Director of
Facility Services.
Although there was no testing done inside each building to determine how much unhealthy pollution there
was, new filters were ordered and replaced as preventative
maintenance.
Steve Holbrook of Facility Services said, "We're staying
ahead of the game before people become affected."
The buildings on campus each have an air-handling room
where outside air is sucked in and distributed through the
air conditioning system. Filters are used on the outside

McTarnaghan closes
CSUSM for a week
By JONATHAN RODLEY
Pride StaflfWriter
Students and faculty at CSUSM spent time away from
school last week after Interim President Roy McTarnaghan
cancelled classes due to thefiresraging through San Diego
County.
McTarnaghan closed the campus last week after emergency services requested roads be kept clear and because
of poor air quality at CSUSM. As a result of the polluted
air, more time was needed to replace airfiltersfor air conditioning systems.
The call to close the campus came after Chancellor
Charles Reed of the California . State University (CSU)
system advised McTarnaghan last week. Faculty and staff
are determining the effects of the closure and how to fix
any problems.
Except for essential personnel such as police and facilities crew, the closure barred students and stafffromentering the campus.
"The major effect is how we will make up a week—that
is the big question," said Rick Moore, CSUSM director of
communications.
On Sunday night McTarnaghan decided to close the
campus and planned Monday to assess reopening the

Pride StafiFWriter
It was supposed to be all about baby booties, silly games, girl talk and presents at
the baby shower we were throwing for my
sister-in-law at our house in Escondido on
Sunday, October 28 . We never expected
what was to come of the day.
My parents and I woke up early to wrap
gifts, decorate and set up the tables in the
back yard for the lunch mom was preparing
for our guests.
It was a hot day, outside the air smelled
of smoke, and ashes were falling on our
tables like snow.
Every television channel was broadcasting the destruction wildfires were causing
all over San Diego County.
Guests would be arriving from all over
Southern California and we worried that
we had invited them to Hell.
Hopefully no one would put themselves
in danger to come to our house. Hopefully
everyone we knew would be safe. Hopefully this was all a bad dream. Hopefully
it would all be over soon.
Everyone we were expecting showed up.
I turned off the TV and for the next few
hours focused on family and friends and
the celebration for my yet unborn niece.
At lunch we joked that the ash falling
into our sodas was good for us. Doesn't
carbon absorb toxins in the body?
Once most of the guests were gone
I went upstairs to my room and looked
out the window. It was dark and I could
clearly seeflamesburning over the second
hillside to our east. I learned later this was
the Valley Center fire which was less than
th
m
eight miles away from us.
"Papi, ven aca," I called my dad upstairs,
but my anxious voice alerted my mom
that she should come too. The fires we
had spent all day ignoring were now very
real. Quickly we decided it was time to get
packing.
Important papers, pictures, heirlooms,
treasured gifts, clothes, essential toiletries,
my dog's food and leash, the computer
tower, anything we could think of that we
considered irreplaceable or essential was
thrown in laundry baskets and suitcases
and piled in the living room.
Finally, exhausted and mesmerized by
the news reports, we went to sleep, thinking we would need all the rest we could get
in case we had to evacuate at some time
during the night. I woke up often to look
out the window, but theflamesnever came
closer
No fireman ever came to knock on our
door. No evacuation notice was announced
for our street. We were safe. We were
lucky, during the night the winds shifted to
the east and away from us.
Some of our things still sit on the living
room floor as we are a little afraid to put
them away. However, these things no
longer seem as important as they did that
night. They are just things. It is the people
who are suffering from great losses that
are in my heart now. They are important, essential and irreplaceable unlike
the things on the living room floor. You
and me and everyone we know, everyone
that lives here in San Diego, everyone that
lives in our world. They are what really
matters.

The aftermath of an unexpected tragedy
brings many needs and concerns. In the
midst of the chaos it is important to discuss
personal reactions, strengthen friendships
we have and reach out to those in need.
One psychological side effect of tragedies is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or
PTSD.
PTSD is a psychological disorder
affecting those who have experienced or
witnessed a major trauma. The symptoms
of PTSD include nightmares, irritability,
anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, and social
withdrawal.
If you experience feelings of anxiety,
depression, and social withdrawal CAPS
is here to help. CAPS is the Counseling
and Psychological Services at Cal State
San Marcos. They are a group of professionals and pre-doctoral students from
Alliant University majoring in clinical
psychology.
CAPS is located at Suite 102 in the San
Marcos Ambulatory Care Center, they are
open Monday through Friday, 8-5 pm, and
can be reached at (760) 750-4910
According to Dr. Kreisler, the full
time psychiatrist with CAPS, the most
important service they offer is one-on-one
counseling.
Dr. Kreisler suggests that victims of the
fire confide in a close friend or a clergy
member.
Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard,
has also responded to the needs of CSUSM
students by opening his door to those who
want to discuss concerns about the devastating effects of the San Diego County
Fires.
Poullard's office is located in Craven
Hall 4935. It is recommended to call first
and make an appointment, (760) 750-4056
Air quality is also a health concern. The
American Lung Association recommends
southern California residents to monitor
breathing and exposure to airborne contaminants.
The Air Pollution Control District of
San Diego reported that the air quality is
good, with the exception of the areas that
are still burning or downwind of fires.
To maintain good health, drink plenty
of liquids that will aid in flushing the air
particles out of the body and avoid hard
labor as much as possible. Children should
be monitored more closely due to their
developing respiratory systems that take
in more air than adults do, which means
more air pollution.
Dr. Nicholson from Student Health Services warned that air borne particles will
continue to affect air quality for the next
one to two weeks. She advised students to
minimize time spent outside and to breathe
through the nose.

America's Terror
By VICTORIA SEGALL
Pride EditorApparent terrorist attacks
rocked the nation Tuesday, causing the deaths of what appears
to be thousands of individuals,
leaving the nation's largest city
in shambles.
Shortly after 9:03 a.m., two
planes crashed into Manhattan's
World Trade Center, knocking
its famous Twin Towers to the
ground. At 9:43 a.m., yet another
plane, American Airlines' Flight
77, hit the Pentagon, causing
sections of the building to collapse. A Pentagon spokesperson
said that part of the Pentagon was
occupied.
American Airlines' Flight
77, carrying 58 passengers and
six crew members, and Flight
11, carrying 81passengers and 11
crew members, crashed, leaving
no surivors. Both planes were
headed for Los Angeles.
Two United Airlines planes
were also lost, including Flight
93, heading from Newark, New
Jersey to San Francisco, which
crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania. Flight 175 from Boston to
Los Angeles, carrying 56 passengers and seven crew members, is
believed to be "the second plane
that hit the World Trade Center,"
according t<J CNN reports Tuesday. Approximately 266 people
were believed to have died on the
four hijacked airplanes.

were evacuated, including the

The Cal State San Marcos
campus police were notified Tuesday morning to carry out a nonemergency evacuation of all buildings on campus. California Governor Gray Davis ordered the shutdown of all CSU campuses, after
the apparent terrorist attacks on the
East Coast.
"We were very impressed with
how everyone on campus responded
and cooperated with the evacuation," said Sgt. McCullough.
According to
Sgt. Bill
McCullough of the campus police,
when the officers received the order,
they began a systematic evacuation
of all buildings on campus. They
began with University Hall and
worked their way westward on
campus.
Some instructors had already
made the decision to cancel their
classes that day, even before the
official order was given, said Sgt.
McCullough.

Brief H istory of Terrorism in America
By AMY BOLASKI
Pride Graduate Intern
The bombing of the Alfred
P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City on April 19,1995
is regarded as the worst terrorist
act in history committed on U.S.
soil - until now.
168 people died in the Oklahoma bombing, and the nation
waited for more than six years
for some sort of resolution to the
tragedy. The execution of Timothy McVeigh on June 11, 2001,
brought that resolution, in some
ways, for the families and friends
of the victims - indeed, the nation
as a whole.
Now, three months to the day
after that execution, the nation
remains at a standstill - waiting
for news, for instructions, for
hope and for a death toll too staggering to comprehend.
The United States has been
lucky in many ways to be spared
the sort of large-scale terrorist
activities so common to other
nations, particularly those of the
Middle East. Now, we face an
attack of such magnitude that it
has prompted numerous comparisons to the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor during World War
II. The day that "will live in
infamy" in the minds and hearts
of Americans will, quite possibly,
stand alongside Sept. 11, 2001 as
one of the most brutal and tragic
the American people will continue to write about and remember in history books, churches and
institutions around the nation.
New York's World Trade
Center was bombed Feb. 29,1993.
Five people were killed and thousands injured. Now, that same
building, orie that houses more
than 100,000 workers and visitors each day, is no longer intact
- its famous twin towers gone
from the city skyline, crumbled
and smoking in the streets of
New York. Nearly 300 people
perished in the hijacked planes
alone; between 100 and 150
people leaped to their death from
the building. The death toll will
continue to mount as those who
perished in the building are discovered and counted.
How does this stack up
against other terrorist attacks the
U.S. has experienced? Most acts
of terrorism in the nation have
involved small-scale, extremist
groups or movements with specific objectives. Aside from the
previous bombing of the World
Trade Center, the Oklahoma City
bombing and incidents involving
the U.S. Capitol Building and
Mobil Oil Headquarters in New
York, most cases of terrorism
aimed at the U.S. have taken
place far from home.
In 1983, the U.S. Embassy in
Beirut was bombed; 63 people

Tuesday's terrorist attacks
have brought the nation together.
Now what remains to be seen is
how this tragedy will affect the
future. Thankfully, we know that
in the. following months, Americans will pull together to heal
the wounded and clear the wreckage.
However, what remains
unclear is how to "punish" the
nameless villain/s. In his address
to the nation, President George
Bush vowed to "hunt down and
punish" who ever is responsible
for this attack. That was a passionate and immediate reaction.
Now it is clear, after thousands
have died, after three towers have
been destroyed, after the Pentagon burned, that our nation's

Chancellor Reed Reaches
out to Faculty
TO: AH CSU Employees
CSU Chancellor Charles B.
Reed
Today our country experienced a life-changing tragedy
that has left us all feeling shaken
and deeply saddened. I am sure
that many of you, like me, felt a
sense of shock and helplessness
as we watched the events unfold
on television. My heart goes out
to the many families who have
been affected by this disaster.
At the CSU, the safety of our
students and employees is our
highest priority. We will continue to monitor the security
of
our
campuses
and
facilities to ensure that all students and employees have a safe
working environment.
You will be receiving ongoing communication from your
campus about the status of
classes and other events that may
need to be rescheduled.
I thank you all for your cooperation arid assistance during
this difficult time. You and your
families remain in my thoughts
and prayers.
Education
Professor
Speaks to
Students
Dear Students,
It is with deep regret that
we could not meet with you on
Tuesday. Sometimes the events
of the world remind us of how
precious we are to each other, and
I know you all join us in mourning the loss of so many of our
fellow citizens. It is a tragic day
that we will always remember,
and in your own reflections, as
you hold your loved ones a
bit closer today, please keep in
your hearts, thoughts, or prayers
the people throughout the world
whose lives are affected by this
terrible tragedy. It is a day of
reflection and grief.
As I sat in the auditorium of
that elementary school in Massachusetts so many years ago, with
all of the children and teachers
of my school, watching and waiting to celebrate the first teacher's journey into space, I never
imagined that any tragedy could
ever more deeply pain us and
leave us with a feeling of such
helplessness. Yet the magnitude
of today's events has certainly
done that.
As teachers, we will at times
be called upon to be unreasonably strong in the face of
adverse times, and to set aside
our best laid plans in favor of
a different and deeper level of
commitment and communication. Your instincts to do so will
overtake you, and you will be
well and right to follow them.
For those of you who go back
into the public schools this week,
you will have an opportunity to
observe and participate in this
way, however untimely and premature it may feel in your sense
of professional readiness. It will
be your kindness, your generous
and genuine caring, and your
humanity that will accompany
you. Use these in abundance.
In kind, we will be here
for you, and in our own ways,
we will set aside less important
plans to hold each other up with
care and compassion.

tion rather than revenge.
There is no doubt that this
event was shocking, confusing,
surreal, and heartbreaking for
Americans. But we must use our
wits instead of our emotions.
Right now, the nation can
only speculate about who the
monsters are and their reasoning. So, let's speculate. The fact
is that this was a well-planned
attack that took a lot of time,
energy, and money to carry out.
If the United States takes a highly
aggressive stance against a large
unknown, we may be inadver-
tently initiating war. The terrorists have provoked Americans
and we have the opportunity to
respond with fists or respond
with intelligence. We vote intelligence.
An intelligent response
would include an investigation
into why, followed by peace talks
and negotiations. It will take
a lot of courage to work with
the attackers, rather than seek
sudden revenge for our losses.
But we at CSUSM know, "si se
puede; it can be done." .
Campus Official
in Paris Shares
Thoughts
On exchange this year at our
partner university near Paris,
I experienced the news of the
horror of the coordinated attacks
in New York, Washington, and
Pennsylvnia at a different time
and in a different space than my
colleagues at San Marcos. Still,
I am certain that we shared
a very similar moment of disbelief, disgust, disillusionment,
and dismay. As I was in the
middle of preparations to
conduct courses and meetings
that seek to extend global
understanding and cooperation
between our students and universities, I faced the overpowering evidence that fundamental differences remain that
we cannot simply smile away as
misunderstanding or misinterpretation.
Whether this heinous act had
its origin within or outside of
the United States, it remains
terrible proof that indoctrination, zealotry, and narrow,
fundamentalist thinking easily
destroys the belief in our
common humanity.
The terrorists believed that
they were attacking a system
and its ideas, without care for
the individuals, their families,
friends, and loved ones.
Although many have turned
against the idea of "liberal
humanism" as a false promise
of progress, and insist on the
values that separate us, I confess
that I was most horrified by the
individuals, forced from a burning, crumbling tower, who felt
that their only choice was a quick
jump to death. When ideologies
clashed, I couldn't help seeing
the helpless individual caught in
between.
As individuals, .we must
resist the easy temptations of
hatred and of unthinking
revenge, while still protecting
our shared values of freedom
anddemocracy. Apparently, protecting those ideologies (which
I wish were realized much more
fully in both the' U,S. and in
Europe), there will be terrible
conflicts and casualties. Yet even
under attack, our foremost
thoughts should be of how we
can best contribute to peace,
prosperity, tolerance, and human
understanding for all nations and
peoples with whom we share this
planet. We never can afford to
lower ourselves to the level of
unholy terrorists.

t
Searching for Good, as the Dust Settles
By JAMES NEWELL
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday morning, the
phone rang early, and since my
girlfriend was on her way back
from visiting family in Maryland, I answered thinking that
she was on her way home. Instead
she said, "Turn on the T.V. The
World Trade Center and the Pentagon have been blown up.".
Wiping the sleep from my
eyes and searching for consciousness, my nightmare began. On
the world, scale, the U.S. w4s
under terrorist siege, but in my
small world the effects hit more
directly. I was confused and
scared that Jennifer called to say
she wasn't arriving in San Diego
today, and possibly not for some
time. Helpless to do anything, I
could only listen to the fact that
our country, the most powerful
entity in the world, was systematically being shut down.
As the events of my morning
unfolded, I noticed one overall
encompassing notion. Not a halfhour passed, and I had spoken
* w|th and assured the well being
of both my families. In less than a
month, Jennifer and I are getting
married, and to me the good I can
see behind all the pain and suffering is the family and friends. It
is astounding to me to be a part of
not just one, but two families. The
power and importance of family
has always been unmatched in
my life, but to directly feel the
love, support, and concern is
refreshing. It was an immediate
and heartfelt reaction from everyone to ensure the safety and well
being of each other.

World Mourns
Unthinkable Loss of Life
By CHRIS ING
Pride Staff Writer
The shock of Tuesday's tragedy on the East Coast hangs palpably in the air, even here in
San Diego, as the nation and the
world mourn an unthinkable loss
of life, the result of an apparent
act of terrorism. As officials and
experts speculate about who may
be responsible for this atrocity,
the reality is that we are only
beginning to understand what
exactly happened in New York,
Washington, and Pennsylvania.
The death and injury toll may
well climb into the thousands,
and the cost of such an event is
incalculable.
The oft-repeated phrase
"unprecedented attack," accompanied by the horrific images of
people jumping to their deaths
from 90floorsup, and the planes
slamming into the towers, will
be indelibly marked not only in
our minds but in the consciousness of the American public for
years to come. We are only in
our infancy of comprehending
the effect that this tragedy will
have.
For those of us lucky
enough not to have been around
during the Pearl Harbor era,
we have no reference point for
an event of this magnitude.
Although images of death and
violence are sadly all too
common in our culture, to have
such scenes visited upon American soil elevates this tragedy
to another level. Questions of
national security, flight safety,
and terrorist policy will all certainly be raised in the ensuing
aftermath. And though we may
make improvement in these areas
in times to come, the damage
may be already done.
Like many of us who
turned on the television this
morning, I was at first shocked
at the image of the New York
skyline irrevocably altered. (An
image that only begins to convey
the scope of the tragedy).
As more details became
forthcoming, the reality of what
this all meant hit home: all U.S
air space closed until further
notice, and rumors of the U.S.Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders
closing.
Reports only seemed to
induce more terror. I called my
parents in Canada, friends, and
loved ones, anxious to reach out
to as many people as I could,
to feel some human connection
with the people I hold dear.
My sister-in-law called from
San Francisco, a city whose historic bridges were closed indefinitely, to say she and her family
were unharmed. She has a close
friend whose husband was on
the San Francisco-bound plane
that crashed in Pennsylvania. He
had called her while the plane
was being hijacked, as people a ll.
around him were being stabbed
and tortured. He knew he would
not escape and had called to say
goodbye.
I cried then as I cry now
writing this. I cry for that husband whose last minutes on this
Earth are the things nightmares
are made of; I cry for the wife
who must bear the memory of
her husband on that plane as he
said his last farewell; I cry for
the unimaginable loss of life and
' the tragedy that has and will
continue to touch all our lives;
I cry for all the hate and violence that breeds only hopelessness and despair in our world; I
cry at the thought of what consequences retaliation may bring; I
cry because I am scared.
To all the people whose
lives were needlessly lost and to
those of us left behind to mourn:
I offer love, strength, and a silent
prayer for peace.
spread out across the United
States and internationally. Not
only did I hear from those close
by, I also received a call from
my brother who lives in Costa
Rica, almost immediately following the incident. He was not only
checking on-me, but Jennifer and
her family as well, knowing they
live in southern Maryland, an
area not far from D.C.
Jennifer is trapped in Pittsburgh, and can only wait and see
what route to take as the dust settles (so to speak). She is alone,
knowing only that she wants to be
home, either in Maryland or here
in San Diego, not stuck somewhere in-between.
Marriage is the symbolic act
of joining two individuals and
their families. It bonds together
people from different lives, creating a larger family. As I share my
experiences and feelings on the
day the world stopped, I can only
hope the image myfamilies create
is not just an isolated world, but a
representation of our country as
a whole, bound by love and concern for the well being of all.
Students
Respond
Differently
to Tragedy
By CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Feature Editor
and LISA LIPSEY
Pride Opinion Editor
During Tuesday's catastrophe many students responded
with reverence and compassion.
Yet if someone took a short
walk through Founders Plaza,
one could see students reacting
in a variety of ways.
Because of Club Week, many
affiliations hung around to
recruit new members. As we
walked from The Pride office
to Academic Hall, we saw that
Commons 206 was full of students who had gathered to watch
the events unfold. Further down
the walkway, someone had set
out a U.S. flag. A Christian organization invited all students to,
"Come and pray for New York,
our nation, and our world." Their
actions were fitting, considering
the level of destruction that was
occurring in our country.
What disappointed us, however, was the competition
between the fraternities Tau
Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, who were showing off
by playing loud and vulgar
music. How could they do that
when so many students were
obviously distressed and a
moment of silence was needed?
In our opinion, this was clearly
an act of ignorarice and apathy.

By Bonnie Vandewater
I find it unfortunate that it
takes a tragedy like the World
Trade Center and Pentagon
attacks to bring our nation
together. However, I'm impressed
by the way our community pulls
together during disasters such
as these. People seem to jump
at a chance to respond in any
way they can. In fact, the phone
lines to the various blood banks
around San Diego County were
busy for hours and Hie blood
banks had lines of more than
200 people waiting to give blood.
The San Diego Blood Bank is
so overwhelmed with donations
that their website urges people
to make donations over the next
week because they cannot accommodate all of the donations today.
Yet the need for blood will still
be great.
Still, I want to do something.
Right now. Today. I feel guilty
that I was able to walk my dog
this morning, grab a bagel and
coffee, and sit and watch this
tragedy unfold in the comfort of
my living room more than 3,000
miles away from these attacks.
I can't fly to New York to volunteer my time. J can't donate
my blood today. I can't even talk
to my friend who just moved to
New York City last month to see
if she's okay.
The only thing I can do is
pray. So, tonight I will join prayer
forces with Pomerado Christian
Church in Poway where our
nation's flag will hold prominence, people of different beliefs
will join hands in prayer, candles will be lit to honor those we
have lost, and perhaps a seed of
hope will be restored to our little
corner of the nation.

People with degrees are t h e "best

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

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.

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,

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

Patrons of the Dome Café have some changes in store for the establishment including an assortment of health foods.
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.

THE m C B O R T ï B t f
When it comes to problems, the best policy is totellit like it is
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
happened, all I got were dirty and suspicious looks, as if there was a cover-up or
Point
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
ongettingmyBachelor'sdegreeinEnglish
and my teaching credential (yes, Mr. Davis,
I am going to be a teacher. Can you handle
that?).
(/iect/g
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
wear shades."

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.

at a concert on campus Feb 17.
Brown, who spent three weeks in

three weeks in her life."
For Amoaku, Sankofa's music
emphasizes the importance of all
cultures of the world. The music
is away to break down the "glass

"Especially living in t hes e

must understand we are part of
the human race — that we all

Consort
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.

can be obtained by calling 752-4945.
