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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CSUSM's sports marketing

his doctorate in marketing
from the University of

Between the many sports

within this realm.

The positive thing is that
numerous companies are

ket in regards to advertising

"A more creative way to

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

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

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

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

"Only White people can

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

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

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

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

I have to unfortunately

in both as mystical beings

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

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

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

even more information about
the highly anticipated Smash
Bros. 4. Here he presented
several new aspects of the
game, including the differences between the 3DS and
Wii U versions.
The most recognizable of
these are: stages and game
modes. When Sakurai said
that the two versions would
have different stages, he
wasn't kidding.
As far as anyone can tell
right now, the only two stages the two games have in
common are the franchise's
signature stages: Battlefield and Final Destination.

SMASH BR/ÉÇ'

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

CSUSM's Black Tie
Fundraiser Set
Where can you have dinner,
dance, buy a car, and support
CSUSM all at the same time? The
answer is CSUSM's Seventh Annual University Ball. The black-tie
dinner-dance and silent auction will
be held at the Sheraton Grande
Toirey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.
Connie L. Anderson of San
Marcos is chair of the event. "The
University Ball has been a bright
light on the social calendar of North
County since 1988, and this year's
ball promises to be the most exciting event of the new year,' said
Anderson. This year's theme is
"Building a Dream." .
The goal of the event is to
raise $30,000 for the University.
Proceeds from the ball go towards
supporting CSUSM projects that
need additional resources such as
scholarships for deserving students,
seed money for emerging programs,
books for the library, and important
community events such as the
American Indian Pow Wow and
the International Festival.
" Supporting C SUSM is
such a worthy cause. The money
raised by the ball provides the
University a margin ofexxcellence
that cannot otherwise be achieved.
Just a few dollars can make a
difference in whether a student
stays in college or is forced to quit.
I am glad to live in a community
where people believe in education, and more importantly, believe in helping young people,"
said Anderson.
Anderson recruited a team
of community leaders as the executive committee to coordinate
the ball. "The committee is already hard at work seeking donations, expanding the program, and
designing decorations. To assist
us in defraying expenses of the
ball, the committee members are
calling on individuals and businesses to provide underwriting,"
said Anderson.
This year, a silent auction will
be added to the evening's events.
The newly formed CSUSM Alumni
Association will be coordinating the
auction for the Ball. Provided by
Hoehn Motors Inc., the premier
auction item will be a 1994 Suzuki
Sidekick.
Individual seats are $150 or
$1,500 for a table of 10. Special
"Star" tables are available for $2,000
for a table of 10.
For information about tickets
and donations, call Jane Lynch at
752-4406.
Every year about 9,000
children and young adults die
from leukemia and other fatal
blood diseases. For many the
only hope for survival is a bone
marrow transplant. Nearly 70%
cannot find a suitable match
within their own families. These
patients need to find unrelated
donors.
The chance that a patient
will find a matching, unrelated
donor in the general population is
between one in 20,000 to one in a
million. Because tissue types are
inherited, and different tissue
types are found in different ethnic groups, the chances of finding an unrelated donor vary according to the patients' ethnic

The Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee and Mashburn Waste
and Recycling Services will be conducting a waste characterization Thursday, March 10, from Noon to 1:30 PM
in the upper faculty/staff parking lot.
A waste characterization is part
of the campus recycling efforts and is a
thorough, comprehensive sorting, categorization and weighing of materials
from the disposal and recycling streams.
Even though CSUSM has an aggres-
sive recycling program in place, waste
characterizations have to be done periodically to identify additional items
which can possibly be diverted from
going to the landfill.
A light lunch will be served prior
to the waste characterization. In order to
plan for the lunch, please call Support
Services, extension 4520, by March 4 if
you wish to attend and/or participate.
Everyone is invited to participate.
Hope to see you at the Dumpster Dive!

�CSUSM's Writing
Requirement—
a s ound i nvestment
Spring '94 Career Fair March 2 and 3
Jeff Keehn
Contributing Writer
T | Toward the end of the Fall semes
ter, an article appeared in The
J L Pride in which a student expressed
some dissatisfaction with the CSUSM writing requirement. While students on the fast
track to graduation may view the writing
requirement as an unnecessary hurdle, is this
the case? When we asked two founding
faculty members about the reasoning behind
the CSUSM writing requirement, here is what
they said:
Dr. Larry Cohen, Founding Faculty, Biology: "I wholeheartedly support the writing
requirement at CSUSM. To a large degree,
we seem to think with words. If a concept is
understood, one should be able to describe it
to another person. If one cannot explain
something, perhaps one does not understand
it. The writing requirement at CSUSM fosters improved communication and thinking
skills. However, I have never felt that writing
across the entire curriculum made sense. For
example, large seminars or classes heavily
dependent upon symbolic concepts might
better be exempted."
Dr. Carolyn Mahoney, Director, Math
Program: "As a founding faculty member, I
believe very strongly that we should have a
writing requirement in all subjects. It exposes students to, and gives them familiarity
with the expository and technical writing that
is necessary to do good math. In particular,
writing helps students process their learning
and encourages them to think more clearly
about what they do and do not understand.
All math faculty incorporate writing in either
weekly journals and short papers that reflect
a student's understanding of mathematical
notions or in term papers which explain and/
or extend classroom discussions."
Clearly, sound reasoning guided the establishment of the CSUSM writing requirement. The requirement was not designed to
wreak havoc on our lives or distance us from
our families, but to foster the critical thinking
skills and analytic agility fundamental to intellectual growth. Most of us entering professional life after graduation will be required to
draft reports and resumes f or years to come.
And our ability to communicate effectively
will to a large degree determine our eventual
success.
The next issue will present interviews
with CSUSM alumni who have already seen
their investment in the writing requirement
pay off big in career opportunities and graduate school admissions. These CSUSM alumni
attribute their post-graduate success to improved communication skills honed through
our university's challenging and innovative
writing requirement that has and will continue to place CSUSM graduates a step above
the rest.

Editor-in-Chief
No, Michelle Sadova is not leaving
her seat on the Associated Student Council.
Not only is she an active member of the
council, but Sadova hopes to make a run for
President of the student council next fall.
Michelle, an English major, hopes to
further her studies in public administration.
She anticipates graduating in spring '95.
As an active student representative at
CSUSM since the fall of '93, Michelle came
into the student council with the philosophy
of "serving students currently attending
CSUSM."
Last semester, Michelle served as Cal
State Student Association (CSSA) representative. As this campus' CSSA representative, Michelle attended monthly meetings
held at other CSU campuses throughout the
state to discuss matters of importance to all
CSU students such as campus base fees,
legislation and health issues. The CSSA
also reviewed Board of Trustees' mandates
and their effects on all CSU campuses.
Michelle was responsible for bringing yoga to campus which led to forming the
Recreation Committee this semester. "We're
looking to provide a variety of recreational
activities at reasonable prices and times
convenient for students." The Recreation
Committee is hoping to bring other classes
and activities such as martial arts, self-defense and aerobics, which is scheduled to
Associated Students
Need Volunteers for
Spring '94 Elections
Five volunteers are needed to serve on
the Elections Committee for the Associated
Students Spring '94 elections. This committee
implements and oversees elections for the president and 12 student council representatives;
two each from the College of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Education; two Post Baccalaureate; and four undergraduate reps-at-large. Students serving on
this committee cannot run for office.
A chairperson, personnel, policy and procedure, publicity, and facilities coordinators
serve on the committee. If you have expertise
in any of these areas, or are interested in becoming involved in the election proceedings, please
advise A.S. president, Richard Molloy, in
Commons 205 or call 752-4990.
m£ fAijfefc
begin next week. One of Michelle's goals is
to provide the opportunity for CSUSM students to teach these classes.
Michelle enjoys communicating with
students and keeping them informed about
current legislation and issues affecting CSU
students.
In addition to her studies, and participation on the Associated Students Council,
Michelle is actively involved in other campus and community activities. As President
of the Earth Club, Michelle and other members of the club are preparing for the Second
Annual Earth Day event scheduled for April
21 and April 23.
In addition to Earth Day activities,
the Earth Club works on environmental
clean-up projects in the community and
local beaches.
"We'd like to see hiking and walking trails around campus for students to
use and appreciate," says Sadova. Both
the AS Recreation Committee and the
Earth Club are actively supporting the
development of campus hiking trails.
If you have any student or campus
concerns or would like to learn more
about the Associated Students Council,
call 752-4990 or stop in at the AS office

Scholarship Winners
Winners of the Friends' Book Scholarship competition have been selected for the
spring semester. Twenty-seven CSUSM
students participated by writing essays on
the subject How Books Have Influenced My
Life. Each of the three finalists receives
$200 to be used for this semester's books.
The University Store contribute $100 of the
$600 plus an additional 10 percent discount
to the winners.
Congratulations to this semester's winners:
• Melva Dudley, a Social Science major
with an emphasis on Sociology, from
Oceanside.
• Robin Kaiser, an English/Spanish major planning to teach middle school, from
Vista.
• Mollie Tammone, a Liberal Arts major with an emphasis on Education, from
Fallbrook.
Applications for the Friends's Fall 1994
Book Scholarship will be available to students on campus after February 15. The
deadline for completed essays will be April
25, and finalists will be notified in May.
The Friends of the Library, a library
volunteer group made up of campus and
community volunteers, is also conducting
an ongoing mini book sale in the library. It
has met with favorable comments from stu-
dents and staff alike.
Coming in March is the semi-annual
book sale during the campus Indian Pow
Wow. If you would like to donate any
books to the sale, please call Cherie Boiling
at 471-7442. The question most often
asked is "Where does the money from the
sale go?" It helps to provide the student
book scholarshs each semester at the
univeristy. Plan to attend the Pow Wow
and our book sale on March 19 from 9 AM
to 6 PM in the faculty/staff parking lot. We
look forward to seeing everyone there!
In addition to library projects, the book
scholarships, and book sales, the Friends
of the Library also sponsor lectures on a
variety of subjects. The Friends recently
sponsored a talk given by Bridget BaileyMeier on medicine in the African-American Community. On March 17,1994, the
Friends will sponsor Dr. Patricia Seleski,
Professor of History who will be speaking
on peace prospects in Northern Ireland.
The third lecture the Friends will sponsor
this spring is Dr. Vasanthi Shenoy, Professor of Sociology, who will speak on education for the women of India on April 26.

Huff Awarded Fulbright
Scholarship
Betty Huff, CSUSM's director of enrollment services was recently awarded a
Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany.
Huff is one of 25 recipients from universities across the country who will participate
in the Fulbright International Education
Seminar for Administrators.
The four-week seminar, held in April
and May, introduces university administrators to a variety of academic and governmental institutions. It focuses on current
issues in German higher education and
international academic exchange. The program is designed for administrators of international services, academic affairs, student affairs, and admissions. It includes
visits to universities and cities in Bonn,
Berlin, and the new Eastern states of Germany.
Huff has been with CSUSM for 4 years.
Besides admissions, she also is responsible
for internationl student advising and serves
on the University Global Affairs Committee.
"This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to gain greater awareness of other
cultures. As CSUSM continues to pursue
its mission of international focus and global awareness, we will need to develop
more programs that assist students in the
transition to education in other countries.
The Fulbright program was designed to
help administrators in this effort," said
Huff of the scholarship.

Who needs to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B?
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
Or for that matter, what is Hepatitis B? It
is an infection of the liver caused by the
Hepatitis B virus (HB V). This virus is hardy
and highly infectious. About 300,000 hew
cases are diagnosed each year. It is 100 times
more infectious than HTV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS.
Like AIDS, it has no cure but the good news
is that it can be prevented with a vaccine.
Hepatitis B may strike silently and cause
unknown damage to one's liver. Symptoms
of Hepatitis B can be similar to an intestinal
virus and be very mild. Others have more
severe symptoms with nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, dark urine and possibly yellowing of the skin and eyes. Also, some people
become very ill and can't work or go to school
for weeks or months. Because it is a viral
infection there is no antibiotic to reverse its
course. Between 6 and 10 percent of infected
adults become chronic carriers (possibly a
million Americans). Unfortunately, they face

�Learning Self-Defense
Newest WxMrcise Crane
:
^^imercize^'A
Susan Mendes, LVN
Health Education Assistant
On Thursday evening, February 10, I
attended the self-defense class which was
sponsored by the Public Safety Department
and taught by Officer Mario Sainz.
Since I had never taken a self-defense
class before, I didn't know quite1 what to
expect. The instructions said to wear loose,
comfortable clothing and sooks, as we would
practice without shoes. I had decided to take
the class after reading about local women
who were kidnapped while out shopping,
running errands, and minding their own business. This made me realize that crimes can
happen anywhere, to anyone.
My classmates were all women who,
like myself, wanted to know what to do in a
dangerous situation. Officer Sainz started
out by talking about possible dangers on
campus, such as deserted stairwells and elevators. What to do if attacked in an elevator?
"Push the emergency alarm button!" he advised. "Someone will respond." He also
reminded us that Public Safety now operates
24 hours a day to respond to calls for help, and
that they are able to provide escorts from
campus buildings to the parking areas, which
is especially important at night. Sainz pointed
out that it is a good idea to locate the silver
emergency phones found in the campus buildings before you need one. He explained that
the phones on the blue light poles in the
parking lot connect directly to dispatch and
do not require coins. He said that the officers
are glad to help students who lock keys in
their car or who need a jump-start.
After discussing how to avoid danger,
he began to demonstrate what to do if you
are attacked or threatened. Using movements based on Karate principles, we
learned how to side-step and use the
attacker's momentum to the victim's advantage.
Sainz showed us how to resist a frontal
attack and how to escape if attacked from
behind. He explained that criminals look
for victims, and talked of the importance of
assertiveness.
I was surprised by two things that
evening. First, that you could learn so
much in one class, and second, I was surprised that more students didn't attend.
This was one of a series of classes that will
be offered on campus free of charge for
students or staff members.
It is a wonderful resource, and I would
highly recommend that everyone take at
least one class, especially if you attend
classes at night, shop in the evenings, or
even buy gas or run errands after dark. I t's
easy to go on believing "that it couldn't
happen to me." Let's not wait until a crime
happens on our quiet campus to become
prepared. Upcoming classes will be announced.

�Decision DMakingoving iadefuture asier
Mnto the E
CSUSM's Center for ecision Making m
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
F or t he l ast f our y ears,
CSUSM's Len Jessup, Associate
Professor of Management Information Systems, and Bernie Hinton,
Assistant to the President, have
worked hard to create an environment that features the latest in computerandbusinesstechnology. This
February their efforts paid o ff, and
the Center for Decision Making
opened with its state-of- the-art computer system on-line and running.
The two men began by submitting a grant proposal to Hewlett
Packard that would provide them
with the necessary equipment to
establish a group computer facility
at CSUSM. Hewlett Packard furnished Jessup and Hinton with
$ 150,000 worth of computer equipment that resulted in 30 computers,
a laser printer and computer software. Further work was necessary
to locate physical space f or the
equipment and comply with all the
regulations that accompany aproject
of this size. With the equipment
and space secured, the facility became a reality.
Located on the second floor
of Craven Hall, the Center for Decision Making appears very similar to
corporate board rooms; however,
this room includes the addition of
computers. The computers are recessed into the table providing a
sleek, modern, unobtrusive look.
However, it is the software known
as G roup S upport S ystem, o r
"groupware" that integrates the
computers and makes this center
different from typical conference
rooms. Groupware allows individuals or groups to work together
forming decisions. Viewing the
same information, members can
make comments or suggestions
anonymously to the entire group.
After suggestions and comments
have been entered, the groupware
can easily arrange the data and help
the members form a consensus.
Companies have discovered
this new technology has advantages.
Jessup noted, "One of the reasons
this has become so popular is being able to do things anonymously.
Businesses have found they get a
lot more candid free-flowing exchange of ideas and opinions when
they use this software, as opposed
to the traditional face-to-face meeting environment."
While this software facilitates group meetings at CSUSM,
it also expands o ther o ptions.
Members meeting at CSUSM can
include groups in other geographical locations. The software links
groups from several different businesses or universities, and allow
them to form collaborative decisions. Jessup also explained that
meetings do not need to occur at
the same time but could occur over
the course of several weeks. A
meeting could be initiated, and
members could respond at their
convenience. Decisions could be
made at a later date based on the
received input.
A lthough the g roupware
helps groups hold effective meetings, there is the potential to depend too heavily on technology.
Business conferences could become too impersonal. Jessup explained that meeting facilitators
play an important role in this type
of center. Facilitators ensure that
groups alternate between software
and f ace-to-face interaction to
achieve effective results. Besides
understanding group dynamics, the
facilitator must know how to use
the group support system software.
A great deal of the success of this
computer center at CSUSM will
depend on the skills of the meeting
facilitator.
While the center at CSUSM
can help groups meet effectively,
it can also provide other functions.
Jessup explained that the Center
can be used for research. Experiments and studies will occur to
observe how groups and individuals behave when they use this type
Bernie Hinton and Len J essup, the masterminds behind the Center for Decision Making
of technology. The findings can then
be used to develop software, and
help companies implement this type
of facility and software into their
own businesses. The Center will
also be used as a teaching tool. Jessup
stated, "We plan to really integrate
this within our business courses and
within other courses at the campus."
The creation of this center has
already been a learning experience
f or s tudents at C SUSM. T he
groupware technology has already
been running in the student computer labs, and Jessup has instructed
courses in operating this software.
During these classes, students have
developed marketing projects for
this type of center, trained as meeting facilitators for running group
sessions, and helped do coding and
programming using this innovative
software.
Jessup noted that the students
have contributed substantially to the
Center's development. Design of
the C enter's tables and chairs has
included the students' involvement.
The quality of the Center will
encourage businesses to use this
facility, thereby providing additional revenue for the university.
While businesses will be able to
reap benefits from holding effective meetings, students will also
have the ability to learn and experience the latest technology of the
business world.

Profile of a Volunteer
Mercedes. Aguilar
Contributing Writer
A volunteer is someone who enters a
service out of his/her free will. On November
16, 1967, Bertha Walker became an important volunteer when she joined the United
States Marine Corps. Impressed by the confidence of the Marine officers at the enlisting
office, Bertha decided to join the Marine
Corps, and at the age of 18, she left her
hometown of Pittsview, Alabama to serve in
Okinawa, Japan, and Hawaii.
The initiative which Bertha demonstrated
as an 18-year-old further developed in the
military as her leadership roles provided her
with various responsibilities. Working as the
Combined Federal Campaign Coordinator
for her unit, she coordinated the collection of
charitable contributions, served as a liaison
between a Marine and the base, and worked
with the Financial O ffice to resolve pay problems.
While fulfilling her military duties, Bertha continued to pursue her educational goals.
Majoring in history and minoring in religion,
she received her Associates of General Studies Degree from Chaminade University in
Honolulu, Hawaii.
After 23 years of active duty, Bertha
retired as a First Sergeant. She sought to
complete her education at California State
University, San Marcos where she also wanted
to get involved in extracurricular activities.
Since spring 1992, Bertha has been a
member of the Pan-African Student Alliance,
and she has been a member and past director
of the History Club. Last spring, Bertha
assisted in Student Affirmative Action's Student Leadership Conference. Then, in the fall
semester, she served as the stage manager for
the African-American students and Pan-Af-
rican Student Alliance's production of the
play, "For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is
Enuf."
Bertha Walker's initiative and leadership continue to guide her actions within
her community. "I feel that the AfricanAmerican student should be more visible
on campus, and I feel that CSUSM should
be visible in the community."
"My participation in Volunteer Day is
my way of practicing what I preach." As
the Logistics Chairperson f or Volunteer
Day on February 26, Bertha has been
extremely visible throughout the preparatory stages of the event recruiting other
volunteers and overseeing security, setting up, parking, registration, greeters/
hosts, and tours. As she tries to make sure
the participating youth and volunteers experience a smooth day at CSUSM, Bertha
Walker will continue to maintain high
visibility.

Illegal Immigration is not the Problem
By Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Last semester, the Political Science
Association sponsored a NAFTA debate. It
was a well-organized, i nformative'affair,
bringing together a labor representative, an
economist, an environmentalist and a representative from the San Diego Chamber of
Commerce to discuss the virutes or flaws of
the hotly debated trade agreement. The participants all gave prepared statements and the
floor was then opened up for questions from
the audience. A man sitting next to me was
the first to shoot up his hand, and it was
immediately clear from his body language
that he felt very strongly about, well, something. "How can we enter into a trade agreement," he began, his voice shaking, "with a
country that doesn't respect the sovereignty
of our border!" His voice rose dramatically at
the last statement. He had come armed with
statistics, pseudo-facts, and anger to spare;
his tirade was just getting started. The moderator and the other presenters attempted to
steer the debate back towards real trade issues, but this spectator's single-minded determination was unsinkable. Every question
became an indictment of California's immigration policy, and passion quickly displaced
logic. The debate ended on a precarious note
with tempers still flaring.
NAFTA is now history, but the fear and
ignorance surrounding the immigration debate in this state has grown. Legislators and
"concerned" citizens like the gentleman that
graced our campus that fine day continue to
propagate the principle that illegal immigration from Mexico is somehow at the root of
all our social, cultural and economic problems. We need to beef up the police presence
at the border, cut off all government aid to
illegal immigrants, even build a wall if necessary. Anything and everything, some immigration "experts" would have us believe, must
be done to stop the tidal wave of thieves and
freeloaders currently assaulting the shores of
our great country.
The problems with this kind of thinking are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to say the immigration debate has been
blown out of proportion by a group of selfrighteous policital activiists who are motivated by fear and racism, that this is just
another example of politicians who are afraid
to address real, substantive issues for fear of
offending aportion of the voting public jumping on the immigration bandwagon.
Illegal immigration is not threatening
the fabric of our society. This is a country that
was made great by the hard work and dedication of immigrants from all over the world
who were attempting to escape the same
kinds of conditions that the Mexicans who
cross our border are escaping. Western European immigrants, anyway, have entered into
the American folklore as tireless hard workers who helped shape the American dream.
Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and
Mexican immigrants have always suffered
the slings and arrows of a society that saw
them as lazy and worthless. The current
immigration furor is no exception. Despite
the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrants that come to this country are tireless,
dedicated workers who actually contribute a
great deal to our ailing economy, we are
encouraged to see them as the problem. They
are potential scapegoats for everything, and
certain legislators would have us believe that
all our problems could be solved by simply
keeping them out.
On the contrary, we could learn a thing
or two by observing and emulating these
hard-working, s elf-sufficient, industrious
people that embody the ideals of rugged
individualism and self-reliance that Americans once held dear. The problems in California (and there are many) are due to Californians and can be solved only by Californians. Mexico is a convenient scapegoat,
but, alas, a false one.
"Good fences make good neighbors," a
well-meaning farmer repeats in RobertFrost's
poem The Mending Wall. Like the farmer,
we have taken that phrase to heart despite its
obvious irrelevance. By strengthening the
fence, we believe we can somehow make our
own crops grow faster and stronger.

�Reflections on Black History Month
Karin Foster
Staff Writer
All February CSUSM has been honoring
the achievements of A frican-Americans
through the observance of Black History
Month. The variety of events that have
occurred have featured informative lectures,
films, and various types of musical formats.
Black History Month initially began in
the early 1900's under its founder, Carter G.
Woodson. Woodson, an African-American
historian, first initiated Negro History Week,
which became Negro History Month, and is
now recognized as Black History Month.
Dr. Thompson, a political science professor
explained that Woodson's purpose was to
elevate the status and self-esteem of AfricanAmericans. He stated that Black History
Month was also "toeducate and expose dominant groups, particularly whites, to the rich
history, rich culture of African-Americans."
During that period of history, Africn Americans were "subordinated in terms of culture,
status, economy and equality." White culture rationalized their oppression of black
Americans by claming the inferiority of their
race. The revelation of African-Americans'
rich culture and heritage would dispute this
myth and could establish the legitimacy of
African-American equality.
Thompson explained that the activities
scheduled for Black History Month complement the mission statement of the university.
CSUSM's mission statement promotes an
appreciation for, and study of, diversity in
American society. The events were meant to
provide an understanding and appreciation
for African-American culture.
Students interviewed in Dr. Jill Watts'
History 335 class, which studies AfricanAmerican history, discussed their opinions
about the events offered on campus. One
student offered, "The events we have here on
campus and in the community help to dispel
stereotypes." Another student explained that
these events "bring together and disband
some barriers between cultures when we
have Black History Month or other cultural
awareness months."
However, not all of the students agreed
that the events really promoted understanding between cultures. One student felt that
many people regarded Black History Month
activities only as entertainment events. The
student explained that often the majority of
the audience attending black performances
are white. She said, " They've always come
out to see us perform. That h asn't changed
with Black History Month or any other kind
of month. The problem is, do they really get
something out of it? Are we really giving
them what they need to be more educated."
While the students questioned whether
Black History Month events should focus
more on education rather than entertainment,
one student explained that personal perspective on these events will probably cause differences of opinion. She explained, " It's a
little b it of everything encompassed—education, entertainment. It means something different to everybody. Certainly to me being
black is going to be somewhat deeper f or me,
more of a pride month."
David McKenzie, president of the PanAfrican Student Alliance, commented that the
goals of his c lub's involvement with Black
History Month have been primarily focused
on education. Working with other associations on campus, this club has offered a series
of lectures and films that have included professional staff to handle discussions and questions that arise following the lecture or film.
McKenzie stressed the importance of education in the activities that promote Black
History Month. "Education helps people understand that there is still a long way to go.
There is still basically inequality between
African-Americans and the rest of the dominant culture." McKenzie concluded that,
"Black History Month was started because
there was a failure of our education system to
have the history of Black Americans or people
of color, in traditional U.S. histoiy books. I
would like to see us get to a point where we
d on'tneedtodo this. Where it (black history)
is included in the history with the general
population and t here's no need to pick one
month out of the year to say 'O.K. this is what
w e've done in h istory'."

Director of Student Activities, and Ann Williams, Board Member of Friends of the

The Pan African Student Alliance is a
student organization founded last year. The
club was started by students from Africa, the
United States and Caribbean nations.* The
Pan African Student Alliance also incorporates n on-African-American m embers.
Anyone who has an interest in AfricanAmerican history or progress is welcome to
join the club.
Club members keep abreast about issues
that concern African-Americans at the local, national and international level. Club
president, David McKenzie, also explained
that since San Diego's North County lacks
areas of concentration of African-Americans, the club serves a social function that
allows people to get together.
Club members also participate in the
community by mentoring students of color
in junior high school, and high school to
help these students prepare for the transition
to college. The Alliance has also been very
active this month with the events that have
occurred in honor of Black History Month.

�Generation X gets a
Bite of Reality
Thomas Lee Huntington
Staff Writer
Reality Bites is a smart, funny, insightful comedy about a
group of friends who have no idea what to do with their lives after
graduating from college. To label the film, as many critics have, a
"Generation X " movie is to marginalize it, to insinuate that the
filmmakers were only attempting to j ump on the media bandwagon
by throwing in as much flannel, cappucino and slacker angst as
possible. Indeed, all these elements are present in Reality Bites, but
they are present because the movie is an honest account of life in the
9 0's, not because they are demographically pleasing to any particular focus group. The film transcends trend to speak to larger issues
about alienation and the search for love in a meaningless world
(issues that are surely not specific to twentynothings) and, judged by
that criteria, Reality Bites manages to fall somewhere in between the
comic and creative brilliance of The Graduate and the crass, cliched
commercialism of St. Elmo's Fire.
Far and away the f ilm's best feature is the funny, literate
script by 23-year old Helen Childress. The dialogue is wellstructured, witty and true; full of throwaway references to everything
from Hamlet to Three's Company but not the least bit condescending
towards the audience. Childress captures the way that people talk to
each other when they're not sure what they really mean, cloaking
insecurity in sarcasm and hip bravado. The characters are fullbodied, complex and dimensional; they consistently surprise the
audience and each other.
Credit is also due the stellar cast, particularly Ethan Hawke
and Janeane Garofalo. Hawke plays the resident cynic Troy, an out
of work, out of energy philosophy major who threatens to turn any
environment he enters into a "den of slack." Hawke is marvelously
appealing; he manages to exude viciousness, vulnerability, intelligence and guilt without ever seeming artificial. Ditto Garofalo, who
brings great comic energy and skill to her role. Winona Ryder is
charming in the read role as a highly creative, intelligent college
valedictorian who c an't get hired at Wienerschnitzel. There is an an
obvious mutual attraction between Ryder and Hawke, and their
avoidance and verbal sparring seem very realistic. These actors are
a perfect match for the smart script, and in the early scenes when they
are allowed to explore their characters without the strain of artificially imposed situations, the film is at its best.
As the film progresses, though, a romantic triangle develops
between Ryder, Hawke, and a well-meaning yuppie played by Ben
Stiller (who also directs). Stiller is a highly skilled comical actor, and
he manages to do extremely well with an endearingly inarticulate
character that could easily have been turned into a stereotype. But
the last 20 minutes of the film buy into conventional romantic movie
sentiment, and in so doing loses the character-driven charm of the
m ovie's first half.
Reality Bites is at its best when it allows itself to be about
nothing. It is a rare delight to see intelligent, imperfect humans
struggling with the mysteries of life and each other. This film speaks
to the concerns of its audience without trivializing them, and for that
it should be treasured.

Presidential Youth Service Awards
Know of any young people volunteering
in the community? There are thousands of
youths who donate their time and e ffort to
make North County abetterplaceandCSUSM
is seeking nominations for the President's
Youth Service Awards to recognize their
efforts.
The President's Youth Service Awards
were created by the White House O ffice of
National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of
CSUSM's commitment to community service, the university was authorized to assist in
identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year
CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22,
with the President's Awards or the National
Award to recognize meaningful service to the
community.
To allow young people with different
skill levels to compete fairly, the awards are
presented in four age categories, 5 -8 years, 9 13 years, 14-17 years, and 18-22 years.
The awards are given f or individual
achievement, however, individuals who per-
form community service as part of a group are
eligible. The awards are designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service
and to r ecognize h ands-on s ervice; all
fundraising activities are excluded from consideration. This year, the awards will recognize youths who show leadership in projects
that focus on helping others to learn.
We also understand that community service extends past the age of 22. Therefore, we
are including CSUSM students in this recognition.
Criteria are: exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and
building a service ethic. To be eligible,
nominees must be North County residents,
but they need not be U.S. citizens.
Nominations are being accepted through

Department at CSUSM. You may have seen
her when y ou've stopped by Science Hall 209
to feed nickels into the self-serve copier when
the copier in the Libraiy was tied up and you
wanted to save five cents per page.
The Duplication Services Department is a
full-service operation designed to meet the
needs of CSUSM faculty and staff (and when
there is time, students).
Students sometimes lose their patience at
the self-serve copier while listening to the
Duplications Services copiers complete 500page documents while they are still manually
lifting the lid in between each of their 25
pages of class notes.
Susan Brown feels the students' pain.
Her staff is instructed to help students whenever time permits. They will help create
transparencies for class presentations and
fasten business presentations in a thermal
tape or spiral binding.
One of the main reasons Duplication Services c an't meet all students' needs is time,
Brown says. Students generally need their
copies right away. The Duplication Department has a 48-hour turn-around policy designed to account f or equipment failure and
staffing.
Despite the 48 hour policy, if you need a

finish it while you wait. Next time y ou're in

Since I have to leave to catch the bus, I
wished him the best and told him to have a
good day. It seemed like an old friend to him,
a phrase he once knew well, but hadn't heard
in a very long time. I'll never forget the look
on his face as he said "Yeah, you toot" and
walked through the park with his bag of
goodies once reserved for those you paid the
entry fee.
As I headed back toward the finish line
and the bus stop, I passed another man standing at the front of the park with his bag of cans
in his hand and a wistful, longing look in his
eyes. He didn't say anything to anyone, and
no one said anything to him. I walked past
him about 50 feet, but couldn't get the look on
his face out of my mind. I turned to go back,
but as I watched him stare blankly into the
crowd, I realized I had nothing left to give
him. There was nothing more I could do
today. I turned, sick with the knowledge that
I had been there for an hour and I was the only
one who seemed to notice or care about these
men. If there was nothing more I could do
today, it seemed more than likely that nothing
else would be done. I wiped my tears from
my eyes as I boarded the bus for my ride back
to the Horton Plaza parking garage and my
sheltered middle class life. I was lucky, I was
going home, where I didn' t have to remember
the people I had seen. But I'll always remember that some people didn't go home that
day—they had no home to go to.

K aren Morones
Contributing Writer
The endeavor of acquiring an
education can be exhilarating and
fulfilling, yet it also can be stressful
and require sacrifices. We often have
to suspend other important aspects of
our lives, such as employment, relationships, and leisure activities. When
students cope with the difficulties
and share in the excitement together,
the educational pursuit can become
much easier. Support is available on
the campus of CSUSM.
Support groups bring together
people who share common concerns
and help each person to cope more
effectively. In a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, students assist each
other with personal and educational
challenges. Through shared understanding and the exchange of ideas
with peers, students in support groups :
• experience a sense of control
over their lives
• reduce the feeling of isolation.
• obtain a better perspective on
their problems
• have the opportunity to discuss emotions
• share and reinforce positive
coping skills.
To join a CSUSM support
group, simply be there. With no fee
or obligation to attend every week,
just come when you feel the need.
Support groups meet in Room 5205,
Craven Hall in the Student Resource

University Employee/Students Pay
Lower Fees
True or false...? University
employees who are also students at
CSUSM (UES) pay full fees including tuition and other expenses.
What? You guessed incorrectly?
That's right! UESs do not pay nary
the amount of fees that full or even
part-time students pay.
How much do the UES pay,
you might ask? Well, the grand
total is $3 per semester up to six
units. Yes sir, three bucks. One
dollar is allotted for Student Unibtf
fees, one dollar is earmarked for
Health Facilities, and the last dollar
is allocated for Student Body Associated fees.
But wait...aren't the UESs
entitled toafewperks? Ofcourse,
sure, but should they be completely exempt from paying fiill
fees, especially student fees, since
after all, they are students?
The ironic part is that it is
entirely possible for the UESs to
rlin for an elected position on the
Associated Students council. This
means that the UES who pays
nominal fees, at most, is given
the responsibility of representing
full-fee-paying students.
I 'm not suggesting that the
UESs are not entitled to repre-
sentation on the A.S. council; a student is a student is a student, no matter
how great or small the monetary contribution to a c&sh-strapped system.
But a conflict arises when those
who do not contribute monetarily are
able to participate fully in the programs sponsered by the rest of the
fundingpopulace, simply because they
are students.
Perhaps the university, during
this time of financial dire straits, would
reconsider its position of favoritism
towards its employees and commit
the UESs to paying their fair share of
fees.

�CSUSM to Honor Bill Daniels at Annual
University Ball
CSUSM will honor Bill Daniels at its 7th
Annual University Ball. Widely regarded as
"the father of cable television," Daniels is
chairman of Daniels Communitcations Inc., a
diversified group of companies including
Daniels & Associates.
"Bill Daniels was selected as this y ear's
honoree because of his vision, leadership,
high ethical standards, and community service, all of which are legendary. H e is widely
respected not only f or his remarkable accomplishments in the business world but also f or
his philanthropic activities. Supportive of
higher education, Daniels funded C SUSM's
first endowed chair. Daniels represents the
ultimate aim of our university; he is an outstanding citizen of his country and community, and, in addition, he is a role model of
business acumen, fairness, and success," said
President Bill Stacy.
Over the years, Daniels has received countless awards for his civic leadership. He is
known both as an entrepreneur and a humanitarian. He served as the earliest leader of the
fledgling cable trade association, founded the
first cable brokerage company and launched
the first cable investment banking business.
He owned and operated hundreds of cable
television systems, created dozens of innovative sports programming companies, and
along the way, has devoted a sizable share of
• > -V/ '

time to the creation of new civic enterprises,
helping those less fortunate, and cultivating a
new generation of industry leaders. Daniels
is an active participant in federal and state
government and remains an outspoken advocate of America's f ree enterprise system.
In 1992, Bill was honored with a special
Emmy Award f rom the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences for his unparalleled record of achievement J n the development of television, and f or his humanitarian
work.
C SUSM's ball will be held at the Sheraton
Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9.

Poli Sci Candidates demonstrate
teaching styles
Amy Glaspey
Staff Writer
Even candidates for faculty positions at
CSUSM have to pass a challenging test—the
teaching test.
The Political Science Department is in
the process of hiring a new faculty member to
teach in one of two categories: Political Behavior and American Politics or Public Law
and Political Theory. Before a faculty member is accepted, he or she must pass a teaching
test.
"Here at CSUSM, a faculty member's
main responsibility is teaching. We put the
candidates in an environment where we can
evaluate their teaching," said Dr. Peter Zwick,
head of the Political Science Department.
Friday, March 4th and Monday, March
7th, two candidates demonstrated their teaching styles in front of CSUSM students. Dr.
Helena Silverstein joined six students last
Friday to discuss contemporary constitutional
law issues in a seminar format. Monday, Dr.
Louis DiSipio, presented a lecture on Latino
voting patterns to a senior seminar class of
twenty.
Dr. Zwick said that putting candidates in
an actual classroom setting serves two purposes. "First we are inviting student reaction.
Second, we are watching and evaluating their
performance in that setting."
After Silverstein and DiSipio's presentations, Dr. Zwick invited students to give him
feedback on the candidates performance and
teaching style.
"Traditionally, major universities invite
top candidates to a seminar," Zwick said.
Candidates will then "make a formal presentation of their research containing lots of
data" to the decision-making committee.
Sometimes graduate students are invited to
the seminar.
The Political Science Association, a
CSUSM student organization, was actively
involved in bringing the candidates closer to
the students. In lieu of a scheduled Political
Science class Friday March 4th, the PSA
gathered together students to sit in with Dr.
Silverstein. "The PSA was really helpful in
getting people to come out and listen," Zwick
said.
These classroom presentations were the
final step in a candidate selection process that
began last fall. When the Political Science
Department obtained authorization to hire a
new faculty member the decision making
committee (Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson) announced the position in a trade
publication called "American Political Science Personnel Service Newsletter."
They also "put the word out" to other
universities.
The committee continued their search in
Washington D.C. at the American Political
Science Association's meeting in September
1993.
* The APSA meeting hall was a virtual
'meat-rack* said Dr. Zwick, where candidates and universities looking for faculty met
for interviews. Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr.
Thompson spent time at the meeting "getting
the word out and looking for a good candidate."
Applications and resumes rolled in last
fall. Over winter break the committee evaluated the applications and broke candidates
down to a short list of twenty then into a
shorter list of eleven.
"Since all eleven looked good on paper"
it was time to conduct in-depth phone interviews to further evaluate the contenders. Economics Professor Arnold joined the team.
The committee spent one-half hour on a
speaker phone with each of the eleven finalists to evaluate their "personality, interests
and how they came across verbally." These
phone sessions "added another dimension to
the selection process," said Zwick.
Financial constraints prohibited inviting
more than two candidates to visit CSUSM for
final interviews and classroom performance
tests. The Political Science Department has a
total selection budget of $2,000 to cover
airfare, food and lodging for all of the candidates combined.
Dr. Helena Silverstein is currently a professor of Government and Law at Lafayette
College in Pennsylvania. She earned her Ph.D.
at the University of Washington. Silverstein's
academic interest is "Legal Mobilization"
(using the legal process as a means of social
change).
Dr. Louis DiSipio is a p rofessor at
Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He
earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas in
Austin. His area of expertise is elections and
political behavior.
Who will make last cuts? Silverstein or
DiSipio? Will the selection c ommittee's
choice coincide with the students' favorite ?
The word is not out yet. The final decision
will be made early this week. When the hiring
process is complete, The Pride will publish a
profile of our new political science faculty
member.

�Part 1: HPV—what is it?
Human Papillomavira virus
Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH
T T f you read this column frequently you
I might be wondering why I am writ
J L ing about another sexually transmitted disease. In reality, I have no idea how
many people actually read this column. Recently, I have written about other current
health concerns; however, the subject of this
column, Human Papillomavira Virus (HPV)
infection, has become a very common and
important health problem to the college-age
population. This will also be a first, the first
of a two part column, because HPV infection
is complex and misinformation is common.
Human papillomavira (HPV) is the virus
that causes warts. There are more than 60
types with approximately a dozen types that
can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in
the genital tract. Genital HPV is not a reportable disease so we do not have exact numbers
on how much of the population is infected. It
is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each
year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD.
Genital HPV is now thought to be more
contagious than previously. It is usually
spread through sexual contact with an infected person, although intercourse is not
necessary to spread the infection. In studies,
two thirds of those with genital warts infected
their partners. It is very likely that genital
HPV infection also can be transmitted when
warts are not present.
When viral infections are transmitted from
person to person the virus infects the top
layers of the skin and can remain inactive or
dormant for a long time. We are frequently
asked for how long? No one knows for sure
but months and may be years can go by before
signs of infection or warts appear. For most
people, warts will appear within three to six
months. Some types of HPV will result in
more visible warts than others. Types 6 and
11 will almost always result in visible warts.
Other types that may infect the cervix of
women may not produce visible warts. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable,
cost effective, and helpful in treatment that
identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be
grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test.
We also know that when warts or other
signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a
period of months or years. However, the
HPV may still remain, and recurrence of
warts is fairly common.
When HPV is present in the genital area
without visible genital warts one is considered to have "subclinical infection." It is
becoming very clear that subclinical infections are much more widespread than anyone
would have thought ten years ago. Also, as
research tools become more sensitive in detection of HPV we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection.
Many researchers believe that medical science is for thefirsttime identifying an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in
the population for decades.
What does it all mean? I will address that
in a column soon.
If you are concerned about this health
problem, read the next column and/or contact
your health care provider or Student Health
Services at 752-4915.

If you drive under the influence of
alcohol, or any other drug, you risk the
chance of spending the night in a cold
place. I'm not talking about the smelly
county jail. I 'm talking about that cold
slab at the county morgue. And the worst
thing is next to you could be an innocent
pedestrian, driver of the vehicle you hit,
or even a child, maybe yours! Get the
picture?
DUI, DWI, stupidity, whatever you
want to call it. If you drink alcoholic
beverages you probably have driven under the influence. In San Diego in 1992,
23 people were killed and 542 injured in
alcohol-involved crashes. The sad thing
is this could have been avoided and the
people in those numbers were in the 16 to
20 age group. More than 43 percent of all
16 to 20-year old deaths are caused by
vehicle crashes.
Nationally, enough people die in these
crashes to fill a sports arena. Does a sold
out stadium give you a good idea? We're
talking serious numbers!
Based on the current status of drunk
driving in the U.S., two out of five people
will be involved in an alcohol-related
crash at some time in their lives.
AM I DRUNK? Some people think
you have to be stumbling or falling down
to be considered intoxicated, and unable
to drive. Well we all know that's wrong,
I hope. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) a person cannot drive a
vehicle with a .08 percent or more, by
weight of alcohol in his or her blood, and
sometimes as low as .05 percent. This is
only for people 21 years or older. If you
are under 21 and caught with a blood
content of .01, under the new law (SB
689) as of January 1, 1994 your license
will be suspended for one year.
There is no safe way to drink and
drive. Your skills can be impaired with a
blood alcohol content (BAC) of only .02
percent (equivalent of one 12-oz. beer, a
4-oz. glass of wine, or a 1 1/4-oz. shot of
80-proof liquor).
BAC tests measure the percent of alcohol in apersons blood based upon grams
of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or
grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
These tests are performed by taking a
blood, breath or urine sample. The test is
your choice unless the facility cannot
perform a certain test. If you didn't already know you gave written consent for
chemical testing for alcohol or drugs on
your drivers license application or renewal form.
Did you know that 64 percent of passenger vehicle drivers who are fatally
injured between 9 PM and 6 AM have
BACs at or above .10 percent (the old
legal limit). Drivers with BACs above
.15 percent who drive on weekend nights
risk a 380 times higher chance of being
killed in a single vehicle crash than non
drinking drivers. For the average male
(170-189 lbs.) that's about 1.5 drinks an
hour. And for the average woman (110129 lbs.) you're at risk after 1 drink an
hour. And if you're tired, drink on an
empty stomach, have strong drinks, or
take other drugs including medicine, alcohol could further impair your driving
skills and judgment.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I G ET
CAUGHT? Once an officer believes
you are under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, he or she will have you perform
some field coordination tests. If the officer feels that you have failed the tests or
you refused to take them, i t's off to jail
you go. Once at the jail you are given the
chance to pick the test you want to take.
After that, you get booked, fingerprinted,
and given a nice colorful plastic bracelet.
Did I fail to mention they take all your
personal items including your shoe laces
and belts? Then you are placed in a dirty
cell with some interesting characters. Later
you have to make that embarrassing call
for someone to come and pick you up.
Plan on about five hours of time spent in
jail, and only if you are arrested for DUI
of alcohol. If you kill or injure someone
or have some other charge, plan on not
going to work for awhile.

"Louis Farrakhan is a
Problem"
Doris and Alex Padilla
Contributing Writers
So we again find ourselves battling
over racial issues. America's obsession with
race continues, and as usual, ignorance and
paranoia persist. Unfortunately, our racial
dilemma only surfaces, or is given heightened media attention in a negative context,
and only when America is forced to address
it.
"Louis Farrakhan is a problem." So
begins the cover story of the Feb. 28, 1994
issue of Time Magazine. While most can see
an agend of racist ideology in Minister
Farrakhan's views, the real question should
be, "Why is America so concerned at this
time?" Is it that we as a society are moving
towards more racial tolerance and such words
are offensive? Is it that the "political correctness" age that we so gladly subscribe to,
allowsno room for such verbiage? Or is it
that such words coming from a group like the
Nations of Islam are just too forceful?
When an organization through a charismatic leader like Farrakhan fills up the seats
of Madison Square Garden, the Los Angeles
Sports Arena and other major public entertainment venues, people take notice. When
an organized security force can combat drugs
and crime in the most crime-ridden city areas
where the local police departments are powerless, heads turn. When a group can reach
into our prisons and successfully rehabilitate
discarded individuals, something is definitely
going down.
Farrakhan certainly speaks about fact.
African Americans have been struggling for
social equality and economic independence
in America since its conception. Farrakhan
states that his goal is not to teach hate. The
main focus of his argument calls for change in
social perspective for African Americans. To
learn true "freedom" in America requires
economic control over oneself, and collective, or group control of community businesses. This is sound strategy, and to these
considerations, Farrakhan does speak for African Americans.
However, in promoting more hate and
discourse among ethnic groups, Farrakhan
does not represent the voice of most African
Americans. For African Americans to take
the hate that has been so bountifully served
upon them in America and deflect it upon
another ethnic group is counterproductive,
and we understand that. The irony continues
to be America's lack of understanding the
obvious. If hate is being promoted in the
African American community, it certainly
does not come from Farrakhan, The Nations
of Islam, or any of its members. America
only needs to look at the fabric of its societal
framework to see the seeds of this deadly
virus.
If there is a problem with Louis
Farrakhan, it rests with those organizations in
America that do not wish to see any unity or
real progress made by the African American.
Until we discover our inaccuracies in attitude
and judgment towards each other, and venture toward a change in understanding each
American, we shall continue in ignorance
and remain a flawed nation.

�Letters to the Editor
Nix to Video Games
Dear Editor:
This morning I sat in the Dome and
watched a truck back up and unload of all
things, video games. Videogames? For the
student lounge. Give me a break. Are we
really serious about our reputation in the
academic community? Do we intend to
uphold our reputation as a challenging academic campus? Not by providing vidiot
entertainment in the lounge. What is wrong
with installing a television in the lounge that
could serve to provide us with news, Discovery channel, soaps for the truly deprived or
any other manner of dubious entertainment?
Who is paying for these games? They aren't
free, and I certainly would hate to think that
any portion of my already excessive fees
were being used to provide the students with
mindless and idiotic entertainment.
If we are overly concerned with entertaining the students, why not simply devote
a portion of the computer labs to computer
games? At least students with the urge to
entertain themselves would pick up some
computer skills. I personally feel that video
games have no redeeming social value and
they do not belong on the campus of a school
that is attempting to make its mark on the
cutting edge of academia. Unless, of couse,
we are not. I do not come to school here to be
entertained. I come to get an education.
Maybe if more students were to rethink their
priorities, they might see that the games have
no place on campus.
Susan Gehrke
Student Lounge TYirned
into a Playground
Dear Editor:
The other day, I stepped into the student
lounge to read a bit before class. What I
found upon entering was a pool table, three
video games, and fewer students using the
room to study than was previously the case.
What has happened to the student lounge?
It's been turned into a playground.
If you believe, as I do, that a college
campus should primarily concern itself with
creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, then you would probably agree that this
is not the best way to use the lounge. This
campus has the advantage of having an atmosphere that centers around education and a
studentbody that is bent on academic achievement, but the arrival of these games lessens
this advantage. I've talked to several friends
on campus, and I hear much the same thing.
That is, that i t's a waste of space, and almost
embarrassing.
While I, personally, have a soft spot for a
good game of pool, I sincerely doubt that is
the best use for our lounge. And, I wouldn't
be completely honest if I said I have no
problem with video games such as Mortal
Kombat, but do we want to spend our valuable and limited space on these devices? I
would argue that we do not, and I suspect
that those students who do make use of the
lounge would agree.
What students need on campus is a place
to study in some degree of silence, that is,
without the noise of the Dome, while, at the
same time, being able to drink a cup of
coffee or have a sandwich. The study lounge
was the best place to do this, until Mortal
Combat came into the picture. Now, the
students that used this room for that purpose
are combating the noise of the Dome, or
pooling at the tables just outside of it.
The decision has been made, for now.
But we can change it by gathering 200
signatures in order to place the issue on the
spring ballot. Then, we can all be involved
in deciding how to best utilizerthe student
lounge.

Lexis/Nexis isn't Perfect Yet
-- f iii
Dear Editor:
I applaud Mr. Holmes' letter! I see that
he is as concerned as we in the library about
the computer competency requirement. We
recognize that students need extra help in
using the computer resources in the library.
Our concern led us to hire and train students
to serve as Information Assistants (see Pride
article October 22,1993). We believe that
by educating and providing assistance
through the Information Assistant Program,
students will learn to evaluate their searches
better, limit their printing to what is essential for their research, and learn to appreciate the capabilities of downloading.
We are also environmentally conscious
and unfortunately students do tend to abuse
printing so we continually encourage students to download their searches to a disk.
The library has even been selling disks at
cost to make it easier for students.
Mr. Holmes does not have all the facts
straight about Lexis/Nexis and the printing/
downloading problem. The incident recounted by Mr. Holmes is true; students
have been known to print reams of paper
from Lexis/Nexis. At the end of fall semester the library inquired about the possibility
of disablingthe printing function from Lexis.
We were told that this was not possible.
Much later and totally unrelated to our inquiries, Mead Data (producer of the database) informed us that they would no longer
support the download document feature.
However, they do allow us to record a
session onto disk. This feature captures the
entire search to be downloaded but requires

ACADEMY AWARDS PREVIEW

^W. "T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park
\ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList,
T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and
there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards
ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake.
Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film,
and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden
Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of
Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned

rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so
loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar
more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's
work will be shut out in the process;

Nominees: Schindler's List, The Piano, Remains of
the Day, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive
Not much suspense here, though this is a fairly wellrounded selection of qualityfilmsthat (with the exception of
The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short
Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films
but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a
limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece
Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year.

�FunThings to Do in San Diego County
North County Repertory Theatre
— for a change
Amy Cubbison
Contributing Writer
Are you tired of doing the same thing
every weekend—crazy clubs, mundane movies or drab dinners? Are you stuck in rut?
Why notjump off the bandwagon and sharpen
the creative side of your mind?
Solana Beach has a well-kept secret that
is slowly but surely beginning to leak out.
Tucked away in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza just
off of the Lomas Santa Fe exit is the North
County Repertory Theatre.
Believe it or not, the theatre has been
around since 1982. It was started by Olive
andTomBlakistone. The theatre is charming
and quaint and holds 185 people. Although a
non-equity theatre, the North County Rep, as
locals call it, produces professional quality
plays. The actors receive a pittance compared to other major theatres but actors vie to
be in the plays because of the high caliber
productions.
Plays range from comedies such as Neil
Simon's Biloxi Blues, to more dramatic productions such as the recentM. Butterfly. Every
play is fresh and new with an interesting flair.
Having attended numerous plays at the North
County Rep, I have never been dissappointed.
One of the funniest was a crazy comedy by
Neil Simon (a favorite of the theatre) called
Rumors. I ached from laughing so much.
There is a new play every couple of months.
Tickets are regularly priced at $16 but with a
student I.D., they are only $12.
The theatre is in a terrific location, next to
a cute coffee house that features home-baked
goodies and music. The Samurai Restaurant
and Froglanders Yogurt are also in the plaza.
And, there is plenty of parking!
- So... what does all this mean to you? Not
only does the theatre have plays, they also
offer acting lessons for adults and children.
Auditions are open to everyone and students
are often used in productions. If the idea
sounds good but you're tight on money, you
can volunteer as an usher and acquire free
tickets.
This summer the North County Rep will
be launching their new children's theatre.
Currently featured is a delightful romantic
comedy by Wendy Wasserstdp, I$n'tlt Ro-«
mantic. It is very refreshing^iist in time for
Spring. So, next time you can't think of what
to do, give the North County Repertory Theatre a try. You might find it a very pleasant
surprise.

Arts and Lectures is planning for the fourth annual Native American
Pow Wow.
This two-day celebration o f Native American heritage will include intertribal dancing, singing, and arts and crafts.
According to Bonnie B iggs, the Coordinator o f Arts and Lectures and
original member of the Pow Wow's organizational committee, all events in
the series are planned in conjunction with at least one or more classes At
Cal State San Marcos.
Events such as this are well coordinated with the academic aims of the
school.
The Arts and Lectures events "support and enhance instruction here at
CSUSM," says B iggs.
The Pow Wow originated as a story-telling session held at San D iego
State's North County library. According to B iggs, four hundred people attended the first meeting which has grown considerably. Last year's Pow
Wow attracted nearly 10,000 people - many arriving from out of state. B iggs
firmly believes that "it's one o f the best Pow Wows in California."
This event is more than just a celebration o f Native American spirit.
According to Calvin One Deer Gavin, it i s also a great academic experience. Some classes at CSUSM require written reports on cultural arts and
events as part o f their curriculum.
Gavin said "the university i s very supportive o f the Pow Wow since it

Any idea what you're going to d o when
you finally get that c ollege degree? Want to
explore j ob possibilities and learn which local companies and government agencies are
hiring and what they are looking for?
Come to the CSUSM career fair and meet
representatives from dozens o f local businesses and government agencies. The career
fair is a great opportunity for C SUSM students to gather information about prospective
employers and research career possibilities in
an informal setting.
The career fair will be held on October
3rd from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the C SUSM
Founders Plaza.
Among the more than 8 0 employers attending the fair are Bank o f America, The
California Highway Patrol, Farmers Insurance, the San D iego Wild Animal Park, Kaiser Permanente. A nd the State Board o f
Equalization.
"The career fair is a great opportunity to
put out information and clear up misconceptions," says Rebecca Boomer, employment c oordinator at the San D iego Wild Animal Park.
Boomer wants to encourage people to start
at entry level positions.
"Parks like the Wild Animal Park tend to
promote from within, so people need to realize
that an entry level position gets your foot in the
door," says Boomer.
Boomer started at the park in an entry level
position when she was 16. She's now been with
the park for 12 years.
"Even with a c ollege degree*, many people
have to. start at the bottom and pay their dues,"
reminds Boomer. "People sometimes feel that
it is beneath them to start at positions like cashier or clerk, but they need to understand that
the park receives as many as 100 applicants for
animal keeper positions, and whenever possible
the park promotes people from within it's o wn
staff."
Jim Kohl, a C SUSM graduate w ho now
works for the State Board o f Equalization
says, "The career fair i s a great way to interact with students."
The board has hired several C SUSM
graduates and "is very pleased with the caliber o f students at CSUSM."
"The timing o f the fair i s great this year.
The C SUSM career fair is a week before the
State Board o f Equalization holds it's semiannual interviews. Applicants who do well
at the initial interviews are placed on a list
and called back for second interviews as
positions open up." says Kohl.
T he c areer f air o ffers s tudents the
chance to meet employers from many d ifferent areas at o ne time in a single location.
Students are encouraged to ask questions
about j ob possibilities and skills required to
get the job.
Students can also use this opportunity
to find out more about potential employers
and economic conditions which may affect
future employment possibilities.
In addition to the career fair, C SUSM
will be holding a graduate and professional
school fair on Friday, October 4th from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. Students can explore study
opportunities and graduate school requirements with representatives from several universities and professional schools.

Guys with a University changes accomodate disabled
capitol 'G?
By Donna Gonzales
Staff Writer
H fmOKS:
My boyfriend and my son were out
playing football the other day. Charlie, 10,
apparently has a knack for "throwing a
spiral." At least that's what Bill says and
he ought to know what with all the time
he's spent coaching from the couch on Siinday afternoon.
Anyway, because of this, Bill thinks
Charlie should play on a team this year.
Charlie, whose only concern is having fun,
says playing on a team is a great idea as
long as he gets to tackle people and get
dirty. Bill agrees that those are wonderful
attributes of the game, but stresses that the
main reason to j oin a team is to experience
the thrill of competition..
S omehow, I g et the idea that B ill
doesn't think that Charlie's ability "counts"
unless somebody i s keeping score. I think
this must be one of those Mars/Venus thing.
Now, Bill and Charlie are two of the
nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. O.K.
I know neither one of them would be especially pleased with that description but I'm
o gly telling you this to make a point. The
rcfulfne starts innocently enough. One will
off-handedly suggest a f ew passes out in
the street and suddenly these s weet, sensitive guys turn into , well, you know, guys.
And I mean Guys with a capital "G".
"I'll bet I can get to the street before
you do," Charlie challenges., standing at
the front door, knob in hand.
"Sure, if you're already outside before
I even know we're racing," Bill complains.
"Come back in here and we'll start from
the couch."
"No fair," y ells Charlie from the front
yard this time. "You have to give me a head
start."
"What kind of head start i s that?" Bill
questions, trying to get out the front door
before Charlie sees him coming. "Ill bet
you can't get the gate open before I catch
up with y ou."
"How much?" asks Charlie lunging for
the gate.
"You cheated," Bill says, a little too
seriously. "You have to say if you're betting me or it doesn't count."
"O.K.", Charlie counters. "I'll bet you
a dollar you won't catch the first pass I
throw."
"No problem," Bill says. "Hey, wait. I
wasn't even ready yet."~
"You already bet and I won. I can't
help it if you can't catch."
And s o it goes.
Maybe I could understand this somewhat irrational behavior if it was limited
only to sports. I mean, sports are competitive by their nature s o it would only stand
to reason that those observing them would
act up in one way or another. But this primal urge can rear its ugly head in the most
innocent of situations and frankly, it frightens me a little.
"Hey, did you get those weeds over
there?"
"Don't worry. I whacked 'em all. I

There are a number o f subtle changes around the campus
this year. Most students may not even notice them. But to Crystal
Hurst, they make a world o f difference.
Hurst, who is blind, is one o f 9 0 students helped by the

When she started here two semesters ago, Hurst was pleased
to discover that her class her syllabi were in Braille, making
her a great deal l ess reliant on other students to tell her when

the education of both students and community members and are related to the direction technology has taken in todays
work place. Attendees will have a unique
opportunity to see for themselves how edu-
cation is being reinvented by technology
and have a hands on experience with new
programs that are relevent to daily events.
The UFTIC was established by President Stacy two years ago as a way to foster
the i nnovations and t echnologically
friendly environment of the campus. It is
also a means of insuring the funding is
available for cutting edge equipment.
"(UFTIC) allows faculty to have the
funding and university support with a limited amount of money." said Dr. Bill Stacy,
CSUSM President.
Because w e are a newer university
more consideration has been given to the
neccesity of technology. Instructors can be
assured there will be a computer on their
desks and labs are better equipped.
' The university is trying tofindit's
niche in a world of higher education," said
Cuck Allen, CSUSM Multi-media Specialist. "We are lucky to be a newer university."
Computers aren't the main focus of the
technology fair but rather a tool that is used
t o demonstrate the individual projects.
"They're like a shovel. You g o to a
garden show and s ee shovels and don't
think 'Wow a shovel show' but rather see
it as a neccesity in gardening." Allen said.
Departments presenting projects will
range from Computer Science and Psychology t o Library and F inancial A id.
Catagories highlighted in the fair are Academic mid Service Projects, Operation and
Accounting.
The Computing and Telecommunications Department encourages everyone to
attend.

KEN VAN HORN
Abortion became an American battlefield
thanks mainly to the historic R owe vs. Wade case
o f 1969.
S ince theji, A mericans h ave b een b ombarded on the issue from every imaginable side.
Abortion has divided the nation into t wo camps
and has inspired every c onceivable reaction,
from passive protests to extreme violence.
T he l atest o nslaught o f the d ebate h as
brought to the surface a practice know in the
medical profession as the "late term abortion"
or "partial birth abortion."
The issue i s fast becoming a line in the sand
b etween p ro-life and p ro-choice supporters.
More importantly, it has become a defining issue for election year voters.
P resident C linton, c iting c oncern f or
women's health issues, vetoed a bill earlier this
year that would have put an end to the use o f
late term abortions. In response, the House o f
Representatives overrode the v eto by a s lim
margin. T he s enate then v oted t o support
Clinton, giving states the power to decide i f the
procedure was permissible.
The practice allows a woman to terminate a
pregnancy in her last trimester. The controversy
concerns not only the timing o f the abortion, but
" ' S ^ l i S w I S ^ i r i ^ ^ S B ^ T S e ^ a n c e o f health
issues. It can last more than a day and, in some
cases, as many as three.
During the abortion, breech birth is initiated
and a needle i s used to collapse the child's head.
This f ocuses the debate away from the health of
the woman to that o f the baby.
The pro-life side has argued that no true concern for women's health issues can be cited for
the late term abortion, given the fact that the procedure takes s o long. The pro-choice side maintains that the w omen's health i s not limited to
the physical but a lso must consider their emotional states.
HLate term abortions have rekindled the debate which surfaces every election year. The difference this time i s the fact that the actual procedure has b ecome the target o f debate! instead of
the ideals or morals involved.
The i ssue has c aused supporters on both
sides to take a c loser look at where they stand.
Pro-choice supporters have had to re-evaluate the
real issue o f l ife versus the bureaucracy, causing
many to support the abolition o f late term abortions. The controversy i s redefining the boundaries and doing away with many o f the gray areas in which pro-life supporters have hidden.
The right to l ife has begun to take a precedent o ver personal c onvenience, causing prochoice supporters to fend without the medical or
constitutional smoke screens they have depended
upon in past debates.

Basquiat
is down to
earth, human
By Gabe Lundeen
Pride Staff Writer
Tonic will be playing at Brick by Brick in San Diego tonight.
Tonic provides taste of 70's heavy < progressive
By Gabe Lundeen
Pride Staff Writer
"It's a little bit o f everything," said
Tonic lead singer and lyricist Emerson
Hart. "A little bit of the darkness, a little
bit of the lightness that you get in life."
Tonic is an up-and-coming band that
has been compared to such heavy weights
as Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin in their etherealism, precision, and
rock-and-roll style guitar playing.
Tonic is a four man group, consisting
of vocalist/guitarist Emerson Hart, guitarist Jeff Russo, bass player Dan Rothchild,
and drummer Kevin Shepard They met in
1993 when Hart and Russo, old New York
f riends reacquainted in L os A ngeles,
hooked up with the other two group members to form a band.
The band i s very much guitar-driven
and has been described in almost nostalgic
tones, bringing up images of classic rock.
Guitar magazine describes them as "at heart
an old-fashioned rock band".
^ ^ ^ g g ^ ' G a b e Lundefery •
The band has received excellent reviewsfrom music publications, and despite
the lofty comparisons, the band still remains down-to-earth.
"Our main goal is remembering to
make the best music possible and to keep
true to the songs," said Hart. "It's always
about the songs. Not the look."
For the past four months, Tonic has
been touring through much of the United
States. Tonic plays on Wednesday, October 2 at Brick by Brick, in San Diego. Call
275-5483 for more information.

"Basquiat" (pronounced "boss-keyyacht") examines 4he life of Jean-Michel
Basquiat, a Haitian-born painter who went
from innovative grafitti to N ew York art
sensation.
But, beyond merely showing the rise
and inevitable fall of a celebrity,
"Basquiat" is an engrossing film about
the e ffects o f instant fame on one w ho
stumbles upon it.
The film boasts an all-star cast, with
such notables as Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, Gary O ldman, M ichael
Wincott, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper and
Courtney Love.
The most notable of these is B owie,
who has the daunting j ob of playing Andy
Warhol. But he looks the part, and proves
once again that his talents are more than
musical with a humorous and charming
portrayal of the legendary artist.
The real star i s Jeffrey Wright, who
plays Basquiat, the artist who died of a drug
overdose nearly 10 years ago. Wright steals
the movie from his more famous co-stats
with a performance that is amusing, inspiring, and tragic one that is easily worth Oscar consideration but probably will be ig-
"One day I'll turn
the corner and I
know I won't be
ready for i t"
-Jeffrey Wright
nored.
Wright manages to project true sympathy throughout the movie, as Basquiat
never seems truly happy in obscurity or in
fame. "One day, I'll turn the corner and I
know I won't be ready for it," the artist
confessed early in his career. Wright manages to illustrate this inability to deal with
fame in a moving fashion.
Some of the film's most interesting
scenes are speech-free, featuring only music. Usually music is an extraneous element
in movies, but here, the works of artists like
Tom Waits, John Cale and Van Morrison
give certain scenes a great deal of power.
The actors truly demonstrate their talents
in these dialogue-less moments, and the
music serves almost as an actor as well.
Director Julian Schnabel is obviously
a talented f ilm maker and will hopfully
continue making movies.
Basquiat i s a triumph, and it is easily
one of the best movies to hit theatres this
year. In a summer of action movies like
independance day and Mission Impossible,
Basquiat is a refreshingly honest and human movie that should not be missed.

without getting wet."
"Anybody could do that. Why don't you wait ten
seconds after it starts and then do i t."
"O.K. How much?"
It can get even worse, depending on the job. Ask
them to vacuum and you run the risk of having the living room become the playing field for a rousing game
of broom hockey. In a pinch, the top of a lampshade
makes for an adequate basketball hoop when the urge
for a little one-on-one with the laundry hits. And do I
even need to mention the potential for socked feet and
hardwood floors? I think by now you're getting the idea.
At the risk of a little sexual stereotyping, F d offer that
perhaps this urge to make a game out of everything is
the way that guys communicate with each other, and
grown men are given the added advantage of being able
to return to their youth under the guise of "just being
guys."
While contemplating this theory, I heard Bill tell
Charlie to get up on a chair and wipe o ff the fingerprints above the dooijamb. Without so much as a moments hesitation, Charlie was dragging the ladder in from
the garage t o do what he was told. I looked incredulously at Bill and asked him how on earth he had gotten
Charlie to do that with no fighting or complaining. I
won't bore you with the details o f Bill's reply, but let's
just say it had a rather evil, conspiratorial tone. And, as
I turned to walk out of the room, I could almpst swear I
saw in the window in front of me, the reflection of Bill's
body flying through the air...
CSUSM a $9,300 grant to help it develop a technique to separate components in the mixtures used to
manufacture those inks, making for a more consistent
writing job. Despite the fact that some dye lots have the
same formula, they are different, jcontaining minor inconsistencies that sometimes impact performance.
Formulabs does not have the equipment to analyze
those differences, but CSUSM does; a High Performance
Liquid Chromatograph machine. Most such machines
measure how a liquid absorbs light, radiation and ultraviolet light.
But the university's also measures the absorbtion of
radio frequencies.

promotes cultural diversity within the community" and
the university. The event provides an opportunity for students to learn about Native American tribal history, and
simultaneously f ulfills the multi-cultural aims o f the
university's mission statement.
"It is a family oriented activity. Anyone who wants
to come is welcome. Many families from the community
came last year to enjoy and learn," said Gavin. Gavin is
the TRIO Programs Advisor here at CSUSM and is also
part o f the Pow Wow committee.
The best time to g o to the Pow Wow is at twilight,
said Gavin. When the atmosphere and setting are perfect
for relaxation and enjoyment, one "can learn a lot more,"
he said. The aim of the Pow Wow is to make people aware
to inspire curiosity to find out more about cultures which
are typically under-represented -especially on college campuses. "I want to encourage those who are attending the
Pow Wow for the first time to feel free to ask questions
while they're there. Don't feel shy," he said.
This year, the Pow Wow will feature intertribal dancers from the Pacific Northwest. It will be held from 11a.m.
Saturday, October 5th until 5p.m. on October 6th on the
green adjacent to Twin Oaks Valley Road. Alcohol is not
allowed.
This event is free to the public. Bring your own shade
umbrellas and chairs.
Workshops for l ocal Native American junior high and
high school students will be held on the 4th of October.
These workshops are designed to encourage students to
g o to college. Featured speaker will be Howard T. Rainer,
a Taos Pueblo/Creek Native American.
If, in one lot of ink formula, the machine identifies six
components which can clog a pen, but only f ive in a separate
lot, scientists can identify the sixth component by measuring
radio frequencies, and make the ink consistent.
Dr. Jacqueline Trischman, the CSUSM chemistry professor who directs the effort, sais, "We're just one step away
from completing the project."
When the research is finished, Trischman hopes to continue working with Formulabs, as well as other companies.
Already, a local pharmaceutical company has expressed eagerness to use the university's $ 300,000 Nuclear Magnetin
Resonance Spectrometer to identify chemical compounds.
"Such partnerships work well for both companies and
the university," said Trischman. "Students receive real life
practical experience while businesses have access to technology they might not otherwise be able to afford."

Teacher Career
Fair Draws
Hundreds
By DOROTHY BRUNO

The room wasfilledwith
smiles at the Annual
Teacher Career Fair last
Friday at the Center for
the Arts in Escondido.
There were no pink slips
in the room and graduating students were getting
job interviews.

Vox The Pride
The CSUSM Career and
Assessment Center presents the fair every spring.
Sandy Punch, director of
the Career and Assessment Center said, "I think
considering the current
state of the economy, this
fair was a big success.
[Job seekers] got quality
time with the districts, and
overall, districts seemed
positive about hiring our
candidates."
56 school districts and
teacher recruitment centers throughout California
and Nevada came to talk
to the 412 candidates
looking for jobs as teachers. These districts all
had jobs for graduating
students; they did not just
have promises of jobs,
but j obs that are available
now.
Sheldon Kelman will
graduate this May from
the CSUSM credential
program, and he reported
that it was a "Great job
fair, [but he was] a little
disappointed there wasn't
more out of state school
districts." Natalie Metras,
also graduating in May,
said that the overall fair
was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all
so helpful." She went on
to say the teacher prep
program was very helpful
and that the College of
Education taught her just
what she needs to know
about looking for a job.
Local school districts that
participated in the event
included Fallbrook Union
Elementary, Lake Elsinore
Unified School District
(USD), Murrieta Valley
USD, Temecula Valley

Gonzalez Leaves CSUSM for CSU Sacramento
By MEG EPPEL
Pride Staff Writer
At the California State
University Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting it was
decided that CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez
would be the next president
at CSU Sacramento. Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced
their decision Thursday,
March 13 at Cal State Fullerton.
It seemed from an early
start that Gonzalez was
favored to be the new
president at Sacramento.
Gonzalez was the only
finalist who had worked
in the CSU system and he
had been personally asked
by Chancellor Charles B.
Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further
speculation that Gonzalez
would not have applied if
Reed would not support his
candidacy. Gonzalez has
denied this and believes
that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark
Kelso and University of
Houston President Karen
Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position.

University Village has hired the first
nine resident advisors (RA's) for CSUSM's
new student housing, which is scheduled
to open next fall. The advisors* current
CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious,
and excited to set the bar for future
RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of
CSUSM's 24-hour campus community.
Although the residence hall will not be
ready until next September, the RA's are
already working in full swing to prepare
for what they feel is a very exciting event.
They are currently giving tours of the
housing facilities, assisting the University
Villages staff, and training together to
create what they feel is a very important
sense of community for themselves and
their residents.

Arguments AGAINST:
I feel at this time the school and

immediate impact on the atmosphere of the school.
Arguments FOR:
I agree to increase the IRA fees

Graduation Denied!
Out of State & Out of Luck
By AMBER ROSSLAND
For The Pride
As a productive member of the
CSUSM student community, I
reached for the stars and strived
for excellence. I was on the
dean's list of academic excellence
during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a
semester, maxing out on credits,
and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete
every course I thought I needed
for graduation.
Apparently,
however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my
success in the jumbled graduation
advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

Unfriendly Environment
On Thursday, Feb. 27, the editors
of The Pride were shocked to learn
about the possible departure of
President Gonzalez from CSUSM
- from the pages of the San Diego
Union Tribune and the North County
Times.
interview about the matter - than
most full time reporters. When
we are given more notice, we are
more able to-accommodate the busy
schedule of a university president
and other important sources for the
article.
CSUSM's
external
affairs
department, headed by Rick Moore,
failed to include The Pride when
"courtesy notices" were sent out to
the other papers on Feb 26. Moore
finally notified us on the morning
of Feb. 28.
But perhaps that's the point. This isn't
thefirsttime that The Pride has been
'unintentionally' left out ofimportant
events that are occurring on campus.
Many of you may remember last fall
when one of CSUSM's own students
had disappeared and
tragically committed
suicide.
Moore's
office and the local media had a press
conference with Alex Zingaro's
parents while the search for him was
still on, but The Pride was once again
left out of the loop - we found out
about that press conference from the
local papers as well.
Moore would have us believe that the
reason for the delay is because, as he
put it, the daily papers need more
notice than The Pride, which is a
weekly paper. We argue that we, the
only student-run press of CSUSM,
need as much notice as possible —
specifically because we are a weekly
paper. We don't have the luxury of
a staff of full-time (paid) reporters
that can drop everything and cover
aritory. Furthermore, as students we
are less able to arrange our schedules
in order to accommodate the
availability of President Gonzalez
- if we are ever to hope for an
You are told to trust advisors,
ask them what classes to take, ask
them to evaluate your graduation
requirements, but when it comes
down to it, you are left alone to
deal with the consequences of
their errors. What kind of system
is CSUSM running where it takes
so long for them tofigureout that
you are missing a class that there
is no way you can even register
for it until a year after the fact?
This is a small university right
now, but looking into the future,
what are they going to do as it
grows? Will it take them a year
after you're gone tofigureout you
need one more class? Do they
expect you to drop your entire life
and move back to take one class
because of their mistake? I wish
I knew.
Moore's actions speak louder than
his words. Without allowing us
access to the story, we fall behind the
local papers in covering the events
on our own campus. How can we
ever hope to establish a successful
journalism program at CSUSM i f
the student newspaper is neglected
so blatantly in the face of real news?
We're not asking for an exclusive, but
we do expect equality.
Our question
then
to
the
administration is this - i f we are
to prove ourselves in any capacity
to be a legitimate news medium
indeed the only free student press at
CSUSM, how are we supposed to do
so without university support? The
administration tells us
that we are customers
of this institution of
higher learning, and yet they leave us
in the dark and fail to notify us when
something important happens. This
i s incredibly bad customer service.
EDITORIAL
In the past, Moore and other members
of his office have been quick to tell
the editors and staff writers that he
is "one of us." We have listened to
him tell us all about his stint with
other college newspapers, and what a
supporter he is of student journalism.
Moore's oversight in not notifying
The Pride staff of this important
story, and others like it - whether
it was intentional or nót - is
inexcusable. We are tired of being
ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to
be notified in the same way and at the
same time as airy other newspaper.
�C AMPUS LIFE
(for 24-hour permits) will
resemble the current rate of the
general permits that are offered
to all CSUSM students." First of
all, how is the term "current rate"
defined? The current rate of spring
passes is less money than the
raised price fall passes will be, and
the residence halls are scheduled
to open in the fall. So what price
will the residents be paying? No
matter how much the cost, student
residents will have a "reserved"
parking spot for the semester.
At least campus residents, in all
fairness, will have the privilege
to park on pavement for 24 hours
while many of us continue to park
in the mud and be out of the lot by
5:30 or fined.
Dear editors:
Many students complain that there
is never anything to do on campus,
that we don't have an active
campus life. But considering
the fact that we are a commuter
campus, I believe we have an
active campus life; you just have
to look around to see all the

PARKING ISSUES
Dear Editors:
After reading The Pride article,
"CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour
campus," I was relieved to find
out that the university is indeed
concerned with the parking issue
here on campus, that is, only for
the fall residents of the University
Village apartments. According to
the article, a 24-hour parking lot
is currently under construction to
accommodate the 460 students
that will occupy the buildings
scheduled to open in fall '03. I
have yet to hear of any near future
solutions to the current parking
crisis on campus, but at least the
University Village residents will
be taken care of.
According to the article, "Prices
I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the
parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack
of spaces for Village residents
mean that regular parking will be
even more impacted during class
times? During the 2002-2003
school year, Cal State San Marcos
admitted more students than
parking accommodations were
available for. We are dreamers if
we believe this will change any
time soon, especially because the
more students the university lets
in, the more funding it will have
toward the parking structure that
our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't
the University plan for population
growth and facility expansion
long ago?
It is easy for administration to
decide that parking rates will
go up due to their lapse in logic
while the number of available
spaces will stay the same. And
now, the concern of the university
goes to the village residents and
their parking facilities. It must
be a coincidence that the students
who will be contributing more to
CSUSM's profit will be likewise
rewarded with benefits. It is clear
that Cal State is an institution for
the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and
not education is the driving force
behind the school. If I am going to
be treated like a consumer at this
university, then at least give me
some consumer rights.

Dearfellow students\
Fifteen bucks. Fifteen one-dollar
bills. I'll bet many of yoii could
probably reach into your wallet
right now and come up with it.
For some of us it might take a
little searching through lint-filled
jacket pockets and digging under
chip-filled sofa cushions, but
eventually we'd have it. Even if
you couldn't get $15 right now Sincerely,
I'll bet in the course of a school Laura Fisher
semester you'd be able to round Senior, Liberal Studies
up the money, right?
So now that you've got that
money what can you do with it?
Let's see, going to the movies
will run you about nine bucks,
add some popcorn and soda and
you've pretty much spent the
entire fifteen dollars. How about
a concert? Well, if you wanted to
see any big name band $15 might
get you a toe inside the venue, but
that's it. Perhaps there's a famous
author speaking at an event,
While the cost might befreeat the
rate gas prices are going it would
probably cost you your entire $15
to drive there and park. Hmmm,
not much $15 can really get you
nowadays, right?
Hold on now folks, there's A LOT
your $15 can get you at Cal State
San Marcos!!!
Free movies, free worldrenowned speakers, free concerts,
free art events.. all brought to you
through the Arts & Lectures series
which is funded directly through
the IRA fee (Instructionally
Related Activities fee) which you
pay as part of your student fees
each semester.
If you're like me you probably
don't pay much attention to what
the heck it is that our semester
fees cover, but this is one time
you really should. In a nutshell,
some of the major programs
the IRA fee helps fund are; the
Arts and Lectures Series, the
Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate
Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the
Intercultural Speaker Series. The
IRA fee has been $5 per semester
for the past 12 years and as we all
know, the cost of everything has
gone up. In order to bring our
campus in line with the average
for all CSU campuses (range is
$4-$ 111 per semester), there is a
referendum up for a vote March
17-20, asking for small increases
over the next 3 years. The first
increase would be from $5 to
$20 starting this summer with
subsequent $5 increases through
2006, bringing the total to $35.
I realize that all of us were hit
with some pretty big increases
this semester (parking ring a
bell?), but this is one time that I
beg you to not scoff at the idea of
forking over a bit more money.
When you think of all the good
that a measly $15 can bring
to your university experience,
doesn't it seem worth it to skip .

that next meal out and instead put
that $15 to better use? The week

H OW THE WAR IS
AFFECTING M Y
P OCKETBOOK
Consumers,
When I first arrived in Germany
in September of 2002, before
war with Iraq was imminent, the
exchange rate between the Euro
and the dollar was slightly in my
favor. In general it was about a 1
to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily
avoided the task of converting
amounts in my head when making
purchases or having to carry a
pocket calculator with me at all
times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was
5 dollars to me, and taking out
300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With
the US on the brink of war I have
watched the Euro grow to become
stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September
may not seem like a lot, but 10
cents on ever dollar means 30 lost
when I take 300 out of the ATM,
and it adds up. Since then, my
fellow American students and I
are constantly watching the rates
stray from our favor. One student,
enraged when she found a few
hundred dollars to be missing
from her bank account, realized
she hadn't been calculating the
exchange rate difference since it
had so drastically changed.

My current Professor who is from
Australia even remarked that the
Australian dollar is the strongest
its been all year in comparison to
the American dollar. This is new
tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the
US Canadian border and fully took
advantage of the great exchange
rates to go shopping or go on a
short vacation. When I moved to
San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I
always thought exchanges would
be in my favor. This is a metaphor
for how I thought about cultural
relationships as well. In the past,
I believed that being an American
meant that people around the
world looked up to me. That I had
the better lifestyle and cultural
values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias
existed within me, and I didn't
even realize it until I ventured off
US soil for more than some cross
cultural shopping or a vacation.

who aren't at all thrilled with the
American way. This is perfectly
ok with me, in fact its wonderful.
In the same way I appreciate so
many things that my American
lifestyle affords me, others should
bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes
the world worth experiencing.
Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you
from seeing another way and view
on doing things. I only wish that
I could get my 10 cents back for

Dear Editors:
A recent exchange of editorials in
The Pride newspaper regarding a
liberal bias on campus has deeply
troubled me. The latest response,
written by Sean Mattingly (junior,
Business)
was
particularly
specious. In it, he calls for liberals
to "have a little respect for your
country, its history, its founders,
and your freedom." Although no
one would argue with the ideals
his statement embraces, such
words do little to address the real
issues that endanger freedom in
our world today—nor do they
encourage the kind of constructive
analysis that is essential to any
thinking individual.
When we do take the time to study
our nation's history, we learn that
the struggles that have defined this
country are far from simple—they
can't be easily couched into a
neat little package and stamped
"freedom." The story of America
is, in fact, the story of the struggle
between classes. This is not, as
Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in
(our) mind(s)." There is no liberal
or conservative here, no right
or wrong—just facts inherent
to capitalism. Higher education
is a place for questioning and
reasoning, not a place for parroting
half-truths and clichés.
The fact that this nation was born
from—and developed alongside—
the class struggle is not something
to ignore in the name of some
larger sense of nationalism. What
we get then is only an ideology of
ignorance, and that is certainly not
what we all agree makes America
great.
Today exposure to the real issues
and perspectives from both
sides is very hard to come by.
The media system is controlled
by a handful of international
corporations and real investigative
journalism is fast becoming a
casualty of bottom-line profits.
Although it is difficult to gain
exposure to "both sides of the
coin," this is exactly what we must
strive for: a true understanding of
Living in Germany I see how

their rules, systems, and ways
of doing things. Not to say that

determine our freedoms. We
must remember that money is a
very powerful motivator in the
contemporary world. We must,
especially as scholars, pursue all
avenues of thought and make
assessments of those perspectives
based upon knowledge. What I am
talking about here is intellectual
responsibility. There is nothing
more patriotic than this.
It is time to start demanding of each
other—and most importantly, of
ourselves—a greater commitment
to civic responsibility. This means
we must move outside the boxes
of thought that are imposed upon
us when we turn on the television.
We must remain skeptical—all
thinking people do. Today it is
more important than ever to do so,
as our country prepares to engage
in war, and likely without the
support of the United Nations—a
body politic that stands for the
collective voice of the civilized
world. Only through careful
consideration can we become
constructive participants in the
noble struggle to achieve "a
new birth of freedom—(so) that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth" (Abraham
Lincoln, 1863).

ment of life...for all minorities..."
Okay then, why not go to another
country just for a few years, then
come back, look us in the eye, tell
us life is better somewhere else,
and prove us wrong? You do that,
and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's
Bowling for Columbine, which
showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny
I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did
not mean to go on such a long
tangent, but I felt those issues had
to be addressed. In closing: this is
a public institution. And therefore
it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs
over another. As my father likes to
say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you

INALIENABLE RIGHTS
Dear Editors:
I am responding to the editorials
in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride.
I would first like to point out that
not all conservatives think like
Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it
succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's
views "were perhaps branded at
a young age." I agree that his
verbiage comes across a bit terse
and offensive at times and it may
be due to his limited exposure to
differing opinions from his own.
out a way to assist Mr. Mattingly
without alienating his ideas. He,
too, must make an effort not to
alienate the opinions that are
different from his own. He should
have afforded all of you the same
courtesy! Everyone involved has
therightto express an opinion and
it is interesting to see the flow of
dialogue, but it has turned into a
"bash fest" more than the free
exchange of ideas.
regard each others as equals. So
why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn
right? If we all believed we were
truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated
with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences
in our 24-hour day and take it
for what it is: a passing, fleeting
instance. "This too will pass."
Sometimes, it takes a bigger
person to stand up and do what
is right instead of continuing this
cycle of negative debate. At some
point, we need to allow "bygones
to be bygones" and start over on a
clean slate. In doing this, respect
must be extended to everyone on
both sides of the coin in order to
facilitate this free exchange of
ideas.
We live in a very populated world.
People are not going to disappear.
So, why not enjoy them while we
are alive. Treat the situation that
stalls your day for a mere 10th
of a second as a tiny instance in
the large scale of your life. Smile
more, whine less.
Thank you

DRIVING M E C RAZY
Dear Editors:
I was simply making a left turn
the other day when I discovered
what the majority of Americans
are made of. I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As
I heard a horn honk, I glanced
to my right to be faced with
a woman, in a red sports car,
screaming obscenities, waving
her hands in the air, implying that
she demanded I move my vehicle
forward so that she could make a
right turn.
On another note I have noticed
while driving to school as well
that trees along interstate 15 are
being cut down. While at the
same time landscaping is being
done at CSUSM. Why some
effort can't be made to relocate
these trees to CSUSM so that
students can enjoy them for years
to come. Even though it may not
be cost effective the beautification
of CSUSM is priceless!

Moore money for 'hell-raiser' students
BY CHEZARE MILO
Pride Staff Writer
Michael Moore is coming back
to CSUSM; that is at least his
money is coming.
The filmmaker and political
activist announced on Tuesday
details of the 'hell-raiser' schol-
arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004
speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press
release from Moore, the "Michael
Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos"
will award $2500 scholarships to,
"the two individual students who
have done the most to fight for
issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of
Cal State San Marcos."
"I hope this scholarship will
encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they
believe in," said Moore, "When
students (take on the administra-
tion) for the right reasons, they
should be rewarded."
To be eligible for one of the
scholarships a student must be
enrolled in a minimum of at least
six units each semester during the
2004-2005 academic year or for
the fall 2005 semester and have a
minimum grade point average of
2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application
form including three personal
references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael

out to give blood to the San Diego
Blood Bank on April 19 and 20.
The big white bloodmobile was
parked in front of the Dome from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days.
The pressure to donate blood
was intimidating for some, but
others thought of it as a way to
give back.
The blood donation process
takes about 45 minutes to an
hour. The majority of the time
is spent answering questions to
determine donor eligibility. If
you have a blood communicable
disease like HIV/AIDS the blood
bank does not want your blood.
Once you are done with all the
paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have
enough iron in your blood. Once
you pass the test you are ready to
donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood.

"We are mourning the (death of

Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying
less because of the budget cuts
students are having to rely more
heavily on financial aid and side
jobs to complete their education.
"We can't balance our state
budget on the backs of students,"
said Bustamante. "Raising tuition
fees is shortsighted and lacks
vision. We need an educated
workforce for our economy."
Applause erupted from the
crowd when Bustamante thanked
the students for their participation.
"Thank you for coming. Thank
you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the
Legislature. The next generation
of students will benefit because
of your advocacy," said Bustamante.
Hancock urged students to get
involved on their campuses and
do everything they can to express
their voice. "Student fees have
risen faster than inflation. We
have to turn this around. We
(legislators) are fighting on the
inside, but we also need you to
fight on the outside."
After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do
some shopping, or hang out on the

THE PRIDE
A plus for future teachers
BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM teacher candidates
rock.
That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher
Career Fair—the exemplary
qualifications of CSUSM teacher
candidates.
"Our teacher candidates are
highly qualified and sought after",
said Sandy Punch, the director of
the career fair. There were 41
school districts from all over the
state in attendance as well as a
few from Colorado, Arizona, and
Nevada.
CSUSM has hosted this event
for 13 years for alumni and newly
credentialed teacher candidates.
The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and
meet with representatives from
various districts as well as hand
delivering their resumes.
The fair is a great opportunity
for our future teachers tofindout
about local school districts as
well as those in other parts of the
country.
Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the
Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about
the new schools opening up in
the area and they are currently
accepting applications for every
position. "We are especially
looking for multiple subject
credentialed candidates with a
BCLAD, Special Education, and
Speech certificate," said Stover.
Many of the representatives
expressed their need for certified
BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of
Advanced Study in Biliteracy:
Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions
available for math and science
teachers in the middle school
level as well as Special Education
teachers in every grade level.
Poway, Temecula, San Marcos
and Murrieta school districts had
the longest lines of candidates
vying for a chance to speak with
the representatives and hand in
their resumes.
Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in
line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find
the best fit for my needs," said
Meglio when asked what type of
district he is looking to work for.
Regardless of the amount of
teacher candidates graduating
each year in California (about
400-500 for CSUSM alone), our
teacher education program has a
reputation for training high-quality teachers.
Cheryl Cauldren, who will be
graduating this semester with
her multiple subject credential,
said she was, "wowed by the
instructors and the least effective
(instructor) was really great."
Chris Meglio said he is proud
to be a CSUSM grad and has
already received job offers for the
upcoming school year.
John Mendoza from Palm
Springs Unified School District
has been attending the fair for the
past eight years and comments on
the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've
hired two right out of the fair,"
said Mendoza. When asked about
what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said,
"Don't limit yourself, locals may
need to look outside of San Diego
County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always
hiring qualified teachers."

Moore. The letter needs
to include a biographical description, why you
attend CSUSM, why you
should receive the scholarship and, "What you have
done to take a stand and
make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to
nominate themselves; in
addition students and faculty can nominate students
they feel deserve the scholarships.
All applications for the
scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the
winners will be announced
in early June.
"At a time when the
media and politicians have
shown a lack of courage,
we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show
us how patriotic dissent is,"
said Moore.
Students and faculty had
various responses when
asked who deserved the
two $2500 scholarships.
"I don't know of one this
year. I actually have been
thinking about it," said
Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences Vicki Golich.
Golich said she is unsure

Student Eric Kiefer had
someone in mind to receive
the scholarship. "I would
say Claude Sayf because
he was a hell-raiser, but
he's graduating this semester and Jason Williams
because he's put up with a
lot of hell," said Kiefer.
Student Daniel Lowe was
at a loss. "I have no idea. I
haven't really been paying
attention to it," said Lowe.
Student Melissa Rodriguez had another student
in mind. "Jason Williams.
The whole issue regarding
his arrest was really controversial and it was clear
that the university didn't
want to talk about it. He
suffered because he had to
deal with it and he was able
to organize people around
campus in a way nobody
else has," said Rodriguez.
"I don't know," said student Claude Sayf, "I can tell
you who doesn't deserve it,
the College Republicans."
Student Financial Services was unavailable for

lege (SDCC) to participate in the
walkout. Cal State San Marcos
student Tasha Iglesias organized
the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal
State San Marcos students went
north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at
the state capitol.
Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small
number of Cal State San Marcos
students on the San Diego bus.
"It's not about how many
people you have, it's about how
many people you can educate,"
said Iglesias.
The bus dropped off the Cal
State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the
grassy area on the corner of Park
Boulevard and B Street where
the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500
students gathered there, holding
signs and shouting at the traffic
on Park Boulevard. Reporters
and photographers from every
major broadcast and print media
source in the area were also on
hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere.
"Fight, fight, fight! Education
is a right!" among others, were
the chants used by the crowd both
at SDCC and on the march.
Anna Matysiak, a sophomore
business major, took the bus
down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project.
"We wanted to see how the

Matysiak. The project, part of a

then ordered the police line to

escorted west on B then south
on Front Street. From there, the
march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons.
Many of the chants fell on deaf
ears, however, as the protestors
changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging
the Bush administration and the
war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep
the soldiers out of schools" was
answered by an old man watching the march.
"Then who's going to fight
the war?" said the old man as
he stood outside a wig shop on
the corner of Ninth Avenue and
Broadway.
Although no CSUSM students
participated in the impromptu
detour, Iglesias was discouraged
that the group's negative interaction with the police would
reflect poorly on the walkout and
the message of the day, which
was protecting the diminishing
budget of the public higher education system.
"It divides the group," said
Iglesias, "If we are supposed to
be united, and then we divide,
what message does that send?"

THE PRIDE
Dress to impress
BY PATRICK B.LONG
Pride Staff Writer
BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN
Pride Staff Writer
Now that you have your college degree under
your belt, it's time to build a wardrobe to go with
it. Here's some practical advice to building your
'office' wardrobe.
What to purchase:
Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can
mix and match. The colors you choose should be
solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc.
Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a
little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match
all of your bottoms.
The key word when shopping is "modesty."
Black pants are essential but be sure they are
appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you
have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they
are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not
if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend
sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset.
Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you
try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your
panty line it's too short.
A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be
purchased as well. Bare legs are very common
in California—but not if you land a job in a more
formal environment like the East Coast.
A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black—
it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a
cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that
can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer
months.
Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to
basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy
strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your
new clothes and your feet will be killing you after
nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to
shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will
Last you a long time.
Where to purchase:
Skip the department stores and go straight to
the specialty shops in the mall. You need help
picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual
Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of
selection and customer service. This is because
these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize
in the clothes you are looking for.
Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can
buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at
department stores, but you will get a much better
selection at their smaller brand stores located in
the mall.
Only buy a few items at a time. Every company
is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is
appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example,
a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage
casual dress. A clothes designer might encour-

casualcorner.com
age a modern dress. An investment bank might
encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to
buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled
into your new job you will get a sense of what
everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the
preferences of the company.
How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it:
Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was
at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent
a considerable amount of money on a few items
that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of
months I was very bored with my wardrobe and
had no funds to do anything about it. One of my
co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most
trendy office attire and since we were at the same
pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy
new clothes so often, Betty told me she works
part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few
hours a week and the little extra income combined
with the hefty employee discount allowed her to
add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per
month.
Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job
at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per
week and received a 40 percent discount. After
working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

resume and career advice to
j ump-start your j ob search?
Call (619) 887-4499 today!
For graduating students and
those looking for careers in
the exciting world of corporate
America, there is a lot to prepare
for.
After the resume, the first
in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective
employer is key to nailing the
interview: you have to get it right
the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut
it any more.
Marketing yourself is not
always as easy as it seems.
Appearance is essential and
demands attention to detail.
Matching socks, ties and shirts
with your suit or jacket and pants
will be harder than you think.
Thefirstrequirement is to have
at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue—
dark blue, not powder blue. Some
places will also recommend black
suits, but they make you look like
an IRS agent. You can buy suits
off the rack, but in order to look
professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the
mall, having your suits fitted is
the best way to go. Look for wool
suits to maintain a classic look
and stay away from hip colors.
The suit is not the time to be
thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's
Wearhouse, are great for a proper
fit and good quality.
"Your first interview suit
depends in large part on the type
ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy
blue are always appropriate,"
states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide-
lines on building a wardrobe and
dressing for success. The website
even shows you how to tie a tie.
Until you are making good
money, never spend too much
money on ties since the patterns
go out of style every six months.
Buy ties at places like Kohl's or
on the sale rack at department
stores.
In addition to suits, pants, like
khakis, and jackets are a good
choice to have. You can mix and
match the outfits.
Shirts are an important part
of the outfit for men. Until you
become confident wearing suits,
solid colored shirts are the best
way to go. Key colors would be
white, blue and grey to match the
suits. Try not to clash patterns on
your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy
to find at places like Ross Dress
for Less or Marshalls. Be sure
to get measured for your shirts
before you buy them. Proper
shirt fit depends on your neck
and arm length measurements,
and the cut of the shirt, so look
for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper
size and cut.
Shoes and socks are easy for
men to find as well. Discount
retailers like Ross Dress for Less
and Marshalls are also great for
shoes.
Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g
view; Men should have a clean';
haircut and neatly trirtuned or
no facial hair. Jewelry should be
kept to a minimum, oneringand a
dress watch—no big diver-styles.
Body jewelry should be taken out
until you at least have the job,
then you can put the tongue bar
back in.

Hinkle has accredited part

on campus.
"I see him as a disability rights advocate," said
Garcia. Garcia went on
talking about the powerful

"He's changing lots of

Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's

see the messages that have
already touched the lives of

OPINION
THE PRIDE
Progressive views are not on the
agenda of Benedict XVI
BY FELIPE ZANARTU
For The Pride
The selection of the new Pope
Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict
XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those
of the Opus Dei.
For years many American
Catholics have been waiting for
the pope to die hoping we would
find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is
not going to be leaning to the left
or moving the church forward
on liberal issues. He has been
quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the
chances of reform in the church
doctrine over the next decade
concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes
the issue of women in the priest
hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to
keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution.
In talking with religious people
on campus, I was told that Bible
passages are often interpreted to
say that males are the rulers of the
church. In this country we have
sectors of Catholicism and other
religions that believe men are the
head of the church. Most sectors
of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem
to practice tolerance. Others
believe that progress must start
from the church.
Former

Nathan Pagador said, "I think

Dear Editor,
This letter is to help inform

couple of weeks ASI has been
promoting events to protest these
fee increases without informing
the campus community of other
financial allocations found within

is one other conflict that has been
raised: Benedict XVI's past. This
would be the Nazi question. Was
he a Nazi? Looking at his age it
is entirely possible. After some
research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler
Youth.
Many sources say that the
Hitler Youth was possible to
resist, and many did according to
those sources.
"(Benedict XVI) found refuge
in the Catholic Church" wrote
author Beth Rowen.
I would not conclude that our
pope is a Nazi, but at a young age
he probably went along with the
movement out of ignorance like
many German's did in Hitler's
nationalistic state.
On television this week, Bill
Maher made up a clever new rule,
"No picking a German pope the
day before Hitler's Birthday. You
have just given every conspiracy
theorist in the world a hard-on."
Only time will tell whether this
pope will create change or if it
will be more of the same. As an
agnostic, I really could care less
who the pope is. But given the
huge fundamentalist/evangelical
movement in current U.S. politics
and culture, and the blurring of
the implied separation of church
and State, the pope becomes a
figure that no one in the world
can ignore.
ing of other faiths. So right now
we are raising the issues, such as
women in the priesthood."
Catholic staffworker Ann
Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the
church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want
to be part of the priesthood, more
power to them."
Many religious people are
questioning whether Benedict
XVI can do a better job than Pope
John Paul II
"I think that John Paul II really
raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going
to be a hard act to follow."
Many Christians and Catholics
hope and expect him to be a good
pope. The church however seems
to be at a crossroads.
"They need to figure out where
they stand," said Ruth Bran, a
volunteer collegiate minister,
"they must address the issues of
AIDS in Africa, zero population
in china, and the overall worldwide culture."
With the issue of culture there

Ms. Brett, that by announcing
your movie titles, w e're making
sure you get the correct movie.
There ARE people out there who
grab the wrong movie or get the
incorrect movie behind a cover
box. We don't care if you're a
"loser on a Friday night" because
we're WORKING on a Friday
night! Businesses that double
check things for you and greet
you are just doing what is asked
of them. There's a little thing
called Secret Shoppers that us
customer service specialists
have to worry about. By not
completing tasks like greeting
you or repeating your order, we
risk our reputation as a good
customer oriented business. Also,
the whole Starbucks deal, how
are they to know you're the only
one at the counter when they're
behind the counter blending your
nonfat latte? They're doing the
same as Blockbuster; double
checking for all the customers.
Maybe the person who took the
order heard something different
and they make SURE it's correct
for you! It's obvious you don't
work in the customer service
industry so before you think
about complaining about people
like me doing my j ob correctly,
think of what we have to go
through dealing with grumpy
customers like you. If great
customer service is what really
bugs you, then start shopping at
Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit
right in!

2005-2006 Proposed Budget.
First, pursuant to the Higher
Education Compact that was
agreed upon by the California
State University Trustees and
Governor Schwarzenegger, the
proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes
a 3 percent general funding
increase (yes you read correctly,
an increase). This means that
the CSU system as a whole will
see a funding increase of $71.7
million for basic budget support.
Second, pursuant to the same
Higher Education Compact the
proposed budget also includes
additional funding of $50.8
million to be spent towards
enrollment growth. This means
that the CSU system will
be allocated more money to
accommodate a 2.5 percent
increase in enrollment. This will
affect CSU San Marcos students
because it will accommodate a
slight increase in enrollment for
the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006
terms.
Third, while student fees were
increased 8% for the 2005-2006
school year, students can find
solace knowing that a substantial
portion of this fee increase will
be dedicated to financial aid
for needy students. So while
• the advertisement in the April
13 th edition of the Pride (paid
for by ASI) dons the caption,
"Need help paying for school?
Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to
this misleading advertisement,
more money will be dedicated to
providing financial aid.
So with all of this said, I would
certainly hope in the future
that Associated Students Inc.
does a better j ob informing its
constituency(you the students) of
both sides of the story.

Living in a
"State of Fear"
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
I don't normally read books
like "State of Fear"—the
last three books I read were
"Fabric of the Cosmos,"
"Life of Pi," and "Will in
the World"—but I enjoyed
"Jurassic Park" way back
when, and when I heard
Michael Crichton was
addressing global warming
in this book I couldn't resist.
I don't remember the last
time I finished 600 pages
in a day, but the pace of the
plot kept me turning the
pages (in spite of reading all
the footnotes), and I just had
to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little
thin, but this is a plot-driven
thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can
they really do that?' action.
As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he
didn't disappoint (though I'm
guessing he may be joining

"Angels & Demons"
BY ANDREA MORALES
Pride Staff Writer
Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert
on
ancient
societies, is
awakened in
the middle of
the night by a
phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And
so begins the story of "Angels and
Demons," another best seller by Dan
Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci
Code."
Langdon is asked to analyze a
mysterious symbol that has been
seared into the chest of a murdered
physicist. Once Langdon arrives,
he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an
ancient secret brotherhood known
as the Illuminati, the most powerful
known underground organization.
Langdon is asked to help solve the
murder. The Illuminati brotherhood
is feared to have resurfaced to carry
out a legendary vendetta against
their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church.
Langdon agrees to help, and soon
discovers that the murder victim has
a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up
with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and
mysterious Italian scientist, meets
Langdon in Vatican City where
their worst fears are confirmed. On
the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden
an unstoppable time bomb at the
heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied
hunt through sealed crypts, burial
chambers, closed cathedrals, and
the most secret vault. Langdon and
Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail
of ancient symbols that winds all
through Rome. The trail will take
them to the ancient meeting place of
the Illuminati brotherhood.
"Angels and Demons" mixes art
history with mythology. Brown
expertly guides the reader through
compelling twists and turns using
theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you
are looking for a book that will
entertain you with every page, Dan
Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an
excellent choice.

THÈ PRIDE
T hree Stooges caught in drug orgy with
cast of Dragon Ball:" Kung Fu Hustle"
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
For The Pride
Such an overload of guilty
pleasure and juvenile genius is
going to send you running one
way or the other, and it should.
And I should be able to avoid a
copout. But my evaluation is still
stuck on whether to use thumbs
or digits.
I watched from the edge of my
seat. I let my mouth hang open. I
laughed out loud. But I'm fairly
certain it was one of the
s tupidest movies
I've seen in my life.
Now to be fair, I had all those
same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star
Wars" prequel, and they were
trying to be deep. "Kung Fu
Hustle," however, entangles the
line between laughing at and
laughing with while giving you
the feeling its creator might well
be doing the same.
Stephen Chow wrote, directed,
and starred in this... this movie,
and as its tragic, complex, and
eventually god-like hero, it's hard
to tell which is his strongest field.
Every aspect seems a tribute to
himself, despite the fact that the
will to make such a thing might
be his most original asset. If
there was one less iota of effort
put into this film—if it were not
so completely itself—I'd be able
to work on a much more scathing review.
Still, there's no denying the inconsistency
between the Axe Gang's
initial (stylishly) stolen
style and their eventual descent into
bland buffoonish
thugs. The use of
Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics
CGI—clearly the point that will
divide genre fans—provides
more laughs than gasps, and is
used so heavily in thefightscenes
that breaks from it make brilliant
martial artists look like amateurs
in a second rate music video. As
a fan of both ridiculous slapstick
and gory violence, I can say that
reminder of what a totalitarian
government can do to art. When
you don't know what you think,
and you don't know what they
want, I guess it's good to know
we're getting what we deserve.

there's a place for both of them,
yet kitschy childhood romance
and butt gags just don't mix with
shooting women in the back and
cutting (CGI) alley cats in half.

BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III
Pride Staff Writer
Located on California's Historic
Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi
presents an opportunity for CSUSM
diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight.
Dinner at the sushi bar begins with
a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers
topped with a light dressing made of
vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted
sugar peas.
After a few beers and couple shots
of hot Sake, the entrées served by
Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy,
Jun Jung, were eatables delectable
enough to turn the mostfinickyeater
to glutton.
The first entrées served consisted
of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly
garnished with a mini palm tree made
of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with
lemon wedges and wrapped with
ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh
and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of
raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6
dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes
provided.
Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of
rolls beginning with the cucumber
paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild
flavor consisting of an inside made
of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab
meat and asparagus. The roll is held
together by a thin layer of cucumber
wrapping. The cucumber paradise
roll is paradise for the taste buds, but
is difficult to fit in your mouth due
to the size of the roll. The cucumber
paradise roll is a six-piece roll that
can serve as a meal on its own and
costs $6.95.
The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano
roll. This was my first time

sampling a volcano roll and I was
pleased. The volcano roll has a crab
meat, cucumber, and avocado inside,
topped with baked scallops. The
baked scallops are then garnished
with black fish eggs and shavings
of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs
popped every time they hit my mouth
providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll
was nothing short of spectacular as
the roll is served in a decorative boat
made of carrot and cucumber. The
volcano roll is an eight-piece roll
costing $11.95 and is worth every
penny. The volcano roll is a definite
must for the first time visitor.
Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled.
The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside
containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion,
and masago. The roll is then held
together by an outside layer made of
soybean paper. The presentation of
the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with
flavor to back it up. The combination
of shrimp tempura and crab meat
is a gratifying combination for any
palate. The Hon roll #2 is
an eight-

piece roll and is moderately priced at
$8.95.
The meal ended with a bang as
an animated-looking caterpillar roll
consisting of an eel and cucumber
inside was served. The outside of
the caterpillar roll is decorated with
artful pieces of avocado, octopus
eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with
children, or for those who wish to
feel like a child again. The flavor is
amazing as the tastes of the avocado
and the sweetfleshof the fresh water

introduce students to the lives of people suffering in Africa with AIDS, and to watch students' experience motivate them to take action
for the sake of those in Africa with AIDS.
Each student listened to the stories of one of
three, people. At the beginning of each recording, as the student pressed play, the constant
thump of a heartbeat immediately dropped the
student into the mindset of Olivia, Steven, or
Beatrice. As students walked through a certain
path in the tent, a specific map of where they
had been placed in Africa would allow them to
further develop the mentality of the person's
life they were going to experience. Following
the voice on the recorder, students listened to
the life of the person they had become, and
eventually had to enter a health clinic where
students were given a red stamp on their hand

on display. The posters read: Environmental, Medical, Political, Spiritual and Cultural, pertaining to the five main aspects
of Africa that need support. For instance,
below Political, the poster asked students
to pray for leaders to may make wise decisions about funding and providing support.
After about fifteen minutes, the impact
of these stories and images had the potential to shake students to their very core. As
some students walked out of the tent with
tears in their eyes, others could hardly put
into words what they experienced. Freshman John Loeh was placed into the life
of Beatrice. Loeh said, "It was pretty sad,
especially the part where she was diagnosed and had the option to choose to save
somebody or not."
After she heard the life of Olivia, freshman Shelley Lawrence walked out of the
tent with a large red positive stamp on her
hand. Lawrence said, "I feel that education is the best way to prevent this. People
shun each other because they don't know
enough, if people learn about HIV, then it
would help."
As students walked out, ICF took donations and gave students flyers informing
them of letters they could write to local
congressmen. ICF also directed students to
their website, ivsanmarcos.org, where students can learn more about how to make an
impact themselves.
Originally, ICF had only planned to display the tent for one week; , but campus
involvement with the tent went far beyond
what ICF had ever envisioned. Therefore,
The Africa Tent will remain on campus
until Thursday, October 12.
ICF member Jaci Spencer said, "The biggest thing I hope people could take away
is this: yes there's AIDS, yes there's rape,
yes there's poverty. These are all the issues
we've heard about but it doesn't hit home
imtil we see it as it is. I want people to know
that we can do something about this and
that God does care."

"Maskmaking at CSUSM has happened before. This is thefirsttime
that ELC has participated. I hope
that it is a recurring event because
the kids really enjoyed it," said
Bigonger. Broomball is played in
a similar fashion to hockey, except
that players do not wear skates, a
ball is used in place of a puck, and
players use a rubber-tipped broom
shaped stick.
The Sixth Annual Masquerade

Saturday. "The Masquerade Ball
is a huge tradition that most of
t CSUSM students look forward to
every year," says Mathews. "The

the House of Blues in downtown

and very appealing for our students. ASI had a total of 1,000
tickets for students and the tickets
were sold out on Tuesday, October 3. It was very exciting for ASI.
The Masquerade Ball wasfreefor
students and only $15 for guests.
There were free hors d'oeuvres
and drinks. A cash bar was available for students over 21," said
Mathews. Fever Week will not
happen for another year, so plan
ahead of time. Go Cougars!

Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock III: the final chapter
BY FRANCISCO MACIAS
Pride Staff Writer
All of those who feel the feud in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship between
Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock should
finally tap out, raise your hand. One
fighter is already in the UFC Hall of Fame
and the other will soon be there—once he
decides he is done punishing his opponents. Shamrock left the sport years ago
and should have stayed gone. But due to
his first embarrassing loss to the younger,
well rounded fighter at UFC 40 Vendetta,
he came back for another embarrassing
loss. At UFC 61: Bitter Rivals, Ken Shamrock thought he was ready to win. There
was also huge hype surrounding the fight.
As part of the marketing for the fight, the
reality television show "The Ultimate
Fighter" had two teams competing under
the instruction of Ken Shamrock arid Tito
Ortiz respectively.
At UFC 61 Ortiz rained vicious elbows
over the aging Shamrock and the referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at 1:18
in the first round. The fight was deemed
controversial because Shamrock claimed
that he was okay to continue fighting. It
looked like a young punk mugging an old
man in the alley. It was sad. That entire
fight card was a waste of time and money.
It gets better folks; we now have Ortiz/
Shamrock III: the Final Chapter. The
only thing exciting this time around is
that the fight will be free on Spike TV.
UFC President Dana White does not
feel that fans should have to pay to see
this ridiculous feud once again. I have to
admit, I'm a bit curious to see what Ortiz
will do this time. Will the Huntington
Beach bad boy do his typical ground and
pound? For those of you who don't know
what ground and pound is, it's when you
take your opponent down and begin to
unload punches and elbows to their face.
It's not pretty, and Tito Ortiz has mastered it. On the other hand, Shamrock is
not a chump; he was the man back when
the UFC first started. Shamrock used to
roll over anyone who stepped into the
octagon. However, this is 2006, and Tito
Ortiz is no taxi driver walking into the
octagon. For those of you who aren't busy
on Tuesday, October 10, tune into Spike
TV for this "epic" battle. I predict Ortiz
will circle Shamrock, tire the old man out
and give him the oF ground and pound.

Men's Cross Country, Mejia win at Vanguard Inv.; Women take 2nd
Men's C.C., Mejia win at Vanguard Inv.; Women
take 2nd
In what was a terrific day for the cross-country
program, the men's team won the Vanguard Cross
Country Invitational, and the women nearly matched
that feat, settling for second.
It was only a matter of time before the men won
an event, given the team's sparkling performances
thus far. That win came on Saturday, in a field that
consisted of six teams and 62 runners total. At the
very top of those runners was Cougar Juan Mejia,
who has been nothing short of amazing this season.
Before Sunday, Mejia had already finished second at
two events on the season. At this event, Mejia blew
away the field, beating the second-place runner by
a staggering 4S seconds. His potential at Nationals
is definitely something Cougar fans can start getting
excited about.
Not to be outdone, the Cougar women nearly made
it a clean sweep for the teams, finishing just two
points behind Point Loma Nazarene. The squad's
leaders, Whitney Patton and Bonghabih Shey, came
through as usual, finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. Shey, already a star on the track tearn, has
really stepped up her cross-country performance this
year, and helped the team reach the next level.
While the very top runners gave great performances for Coach Steve Scott, just about everyone
in Cougar blue ran very well. On the men's side,
Mejia crossed the finish line first, but Phil Hoffman
was not far behind, finishing third. Ozwaldo Alvarez stepped up his game, taking seventh overall. Leo
Elorza, Thomas Thys, and Mike Crouch all finished
in the top 20 as well.
On the women's side, nine Cougars finished in the
top 30 runners, though only the team's top five runners counted for team-scoring purposes. Aside from
Patton and Shey, Aimee Bradley had a strong meet,
finishing fifteenth. Erin Hearn, Olympia Olguin,
and Jackie Maciel were not far behind, taking seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first, respectively.
Overall, it was an excellent outing for both teams,
and their chances to finish strong at Nationals are
looking very good. Coach Steve Scott will take his
crew to the Fullerton Invite on October 20 for its final
regular-season meet, and then it's off to Regionals
on November 4.
Below are the full CSUSM results. Individual
places are adjusted for team-scoring purposes,
which doesn't factor in those runners who weren't
attached to colleges.

and she volleyed the shot into the
net to give the Cougars the 3-2
win.
Though Drummond accounted
for all the scoring, the entire
team played a very good game on
Sunday. Midfielder Tessa Smith
controlled the ball and was able
to set up opportunities for teammates, and Randi Leyva created
scoring chances throughout the
day. On the back line, Alex Quindt
played arguably her best game
of the season, and Lucia Asbury
continued to be very impressive
after making the transition from
forward to defense. Defender
Lica Martinez also played a very
strong game.
Overall it was a great effort for
the Cougars in front of fee home
crowd at Mangrum Field.
The women will try to keep the
momentum rolling on Tuesday,
when they travel to take on Claremont-McKenna College to kick
off a stretch of five consecutive
road games.
Defeating ClaremontMcKenna on Road\ 5-2
Women's Soccer Wins
Second Straight; Defeats Claremont-McKenna on Road, 5-2
October 3,2006
Though their season got off
to .a tough start, the Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer
team (3-6) appears to be turning the corner. On Tuesday,
the squad tallied a 5-2 victory
over Claremont-McKenna, its
second-straight win.
Tuesday's win marks the
first ever road victory for the
program, and it comes against
a Claremont-McKenna squad
that entered the game .with
a solid 5-3-1 record for ihe
season. Thus, the match also
marks the team's first victory
over a team with a winning
record.
CSUSM controlled the
action for most of the game.
At halftime, the Cougars led 10, courtesy of a Lucia Asbury
goal. Courtney Drummond,
who posted a hat trick in Sunday's game, drew a foul deep
in the opponent's territory, and
Kelly Wherry took the free
kick. She made the most of it,
hitting a perfect cross to the
other side of the box. The ball
found Asbury, and she volleyed
it into the top of the net past the
helpless keeper.
Early in the second half, the
Cougars built their lead to 20, with Kelly Wherry involved
again - but this time as the
goal scorer. The Cougars
earned a free kick 25 yards
out, and Wherry was chosen
again to take it. Instead of hitting a cross, Wherry struck
a beautiful shot, curling the
ball into the corner of the net
past the outstretched arms of
the keeper.
Claremont-McKenna fought
back to make the score 2-1,
but CSUSM refused to allow
them to equalize, half-way
through the second half, the
Cougars once again earned a
free kick in the offensive zone.
Lucia Asbury took it this time, but
found Kelly Wherry in the box.
Though she didn't hit the header
she intended, Wherry managed to
deflect the ball into the net for her
second goal of the game.
Not long after, the Cougars
pushed the score to 4-1. Defender
Alex Quindt hit a ball over the top
of the defense, connecting with
forward Clarissa Hidalgo. Hidalgo
struck a nice right-footed shot into
the low corner of the net to give
the Cougars a three-goal lead.
After
Claremont-McKenna
scored on a free kick of their own,
the Cougars once again answered,
removing any doubt about what
the outcome of the game would
be. Clarissa Hidalgo was responsible again, joining Kelly Wherry
as two-goal scorers for the game.
After receiving a routine pass
from Tessa Smith, Hidalgo stood
a-full 35 yards awayfromthe goal,
where she launched a rainbow shot
towards the net. The shot caught
everyone off-guard, including the
opposing keeper, who couldn't
prevent it from sailing over her
head and into the net.
The 5-2 score would hold up,
giving the Cougars another muchneeded victory.
In what was by far their most
impressive showing on offense all
year, the Cougars nearly matched
their cumulative season total for
goals scored, which stood at six
before Tuesday's game. Still,
Assistant Coach Bobby Renneisen
was quick to praise the team's back
line. Fullbacks Lucia Asbury,
Annica Perez, Alex Quindt, and
Lica Martinez played a terrific
game, limiting Claremont-McKenna's opportunities and never
allowing them to cut deeply into
the Cougars' lead.
With the squad playing its best
soccer yet, they hope to keep the
momentum rolling through four
more consecutive road games.
Next, the squad will head up to
Santa Cruz to take on U.C. Santa
Cruz on October 7, then Menlo
College the following day.

Last weekend, following the brilliant
advice from my girlfriend, we ditched
all responsibility, packed our bags and
departed north at 4:00 a.m. to spend
what would turn out to be one of the
most unforgettable weekends of our
lives surrounded by one of Nature's
most incredible landscapes.
Yosemite: one of the few places
on Earth that defies explanation. To
describe it in words is to insult it. Even
with the accompanying photos, the sheer
magnitude and splendor of the place is
lost. If you haven't been, go. If you
have only been once, go again. If you
are one of the lucky few to have visited
multiple times, let this story encourage
you to go again.
To some, an eight hour drive (one
way), 150 dollars in gas (less than three
dollars a gallon!!), and 20 to 400 dol-
lars a night for lodging, all for 36 hours
of distraction may sound ludicrous. To
others, it is just the cure for a life filled
with monotony.
Whether you're smitten and in love or
single and unattached, a trip to Yosemite—even for as little as two days—can
be one of the most memorable journeys
of your life.
So, if it's renting a beach cruiser and
gliding along the valley floor surrounded
by towering granite mountains, hiking
up the back of Half Dome to see one of
the world's most breathtaking views, or
getting attacked by fearless raccoons
as you eat your overpriced pizza and
indulge in a well-deserved drink after
a long day in paradise—your tinje spent
in Yosemite will be short lived and long
remembered.
To all you fellow Cougars: take this
writer's advice and spend at least a
weekend escaping in Yosemite, you
won't regret it.

AIDS : COMPASSION
IN A FRICA
"The AIDS Crisis: Can you
survive the journey of a child?" Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
As dusk arrives and the orange
sun disappears behind the cloudy
sky, I walk through Palm Court on
my way to begin my AIDS experience. Unsure of what to expect,
and fairly confident that the contents of the tent will have a significant impact on me, I've brought
my younger sister along with me
to share the experience.
Friendly and encouraging students from Intervarsity Christian Fellowship gather near the
entrance of the tent waiting to
greet us. We are handed headphones attached to a small media
player, and a lantern to lead us
through the night-filled tent.
"Wait in front of the curtain" we
are told. My sister goes in first.
She steps behind the fabric wall
and quickly vanishes into the caverns of the tent, only her silhouette and the diluted lantern light
can still be seen. I step in front of
the beaded curtain and turn on my
headphones. Sounds of a bustling
street, voices, and animals—all
sounds of Africa surround me,
call to me. I am instructed to go
into the next room. It is empty. I
sit down and I can still hear the
noises of Africa dancing around
me, I think I can even sense the
various smells of Africa wade
through the room. A voice comes
on. It is a man. His name is Jalima,
he will guide my journey tonight,
he tells me.
Walking into the next room I
find myself in front of three curtained doorways. There is a name
on each doorway, as there is a
name printed on my media player:
Beatrice. The voice of Beatrice
starts to speak. I cross through
Beatrice's entrance and without
realizing it, I am transported into
an entirely new world, taking on
the mindset of Beatrice.
Immediately I am introduced
to Beatrice's life. She is seven
and lives with her older, pregnant
sister. Both of her parents died
when she was younger. A series of
pictures are in front of me, giving
a face to Beatrice's name and her
fragile voice. Images of poverty
and disease, sorrow and despair,
line the makeshift walls. I proceed through the maze of Beatrice's life and stop before 3 map.
"You live in Zambia," Jalima tells
me. I read the map and learn that
Zambia has a population just over
11 million people. 1.2 million of
those inhabitants are orphaned
children, and 1.7 million of the
entire population is HIV+ or has
AIDS. As Ifinishreading statistics
about Zambia, I slowly move into
the next room. I am now standing
in Beatrice's home, a small, oneroom hut. Dirty dishes, ragged
clothes and dirt-tattered blankets
are strewn about on the ground. I
turn around and I can see a picture of her sister. "You're excited
because your sister is going to
have her baby today," Jalima tells
me. Before me is a poster with pictures of teen mothers, primitive
tools and abandoned babies. In
red letters are the words "Maternal mortality." All of the sudden
there are screams and wails playing into my ears. There is a constant cry of an infant, but the background cries are different. "Something is wrong," Jalima says. I
stop and find myself searching the
images and the imaginary scene
in my head for an answer, "Your
sister has just died in child birth,"
he answers. "No! She can't!" I
silently yell to myself.
The sound of a crying baby carries me into the next room. "Your
sister had a baby girl. They have
named her Myriam," he states.
"But no one is claiming her. Your
grandmother says she cannot
afford to feed another mouth, and
Clockwise starting with middle picture on left-hand side:

your other relatives are beginning
to back away from the infant,"
explains Jalima, a tinge of sadness weighing behind his voice.
"You stand there in silence " he
tells Beatrice, just as I stand there
listening in silence, "looking at
the tiny baby nobody wants."
What would you do if you were
Beatrice? You stand there, the
silence continuing to grow, until
something inside of you aches,
and you say, "I'll take her." How
different would your life be? Only
seven years old, orphaned, now
with a baby? You have no mother,
no father, no sister, no one at all
except this tiny new life you have
in your arms. No one wanted baby
Myriam, and now this baby needs
you more than you've ever needed
anything.
"The days go by and Myriam
will not stop crying," Jalima continues. "You have no food to give
her and no way of getting food.
Each day gets harder and harder
watching the other children in the
village run and play and attend
school. They used to be your
friends, and that used to be you.
You rummage through the streets,
scavenging for food and water for
you and little Myriam. You try to
go and work and do small things
to earn wages but Myriam doesn't
like to be away from you. She
doesn't like to be left alone, and
she cries incessantly when you
don't hold her."
"Somehow, you and Myriam
manage to survive for two years,
you cannot believe it," he says.
"But Myriam is so undernourished that she cannot sit up on her
own even though she is two years
old, and now her fingers, toes,
and eyes have become infested
with fleas and open sores. You
do your best to wash her sores as
often as you can, but you have no
clean water and wiping her eyes
only makes her cry more, and the
pus infecting her eyes just comes
right back after you wipe them.
Poor Myriam; you're not sure
how much longer she will be able
to survive, and the last two years
have taken a toll on your body as
well. Weak from starvation and
taking care of Myriam, you have

you meet a new woman. You can
see in her eyes that she is nice, and

Lanterns in one hand, and holding
each other's hand with the other,
we stop in front of a prayer wall.
There are hundreds of prayers:
prayers for healing, prayers for
grace and understanding, prayers
for forgiveness and love—and for
a cure. A tear falls off my cheek
as I set my lantern down to write a
prayer. Pinning it to the wall, I am
overcome with many questions,
like why does there have to be so
much suffering in the world? So
much pain? Why is a whole continent dying from this horrible
four-letter disease: AIDS? Just
why? More importantly I was
left asking what can we do about
it? How can we stop it? And how
can we help?
Through my whole journey
that night in the tent I felt compassion for Beatrice, and tried to
contemplate what her life must
have been like. How would I
have kept faith in the face of such
disparity? How did she keep her
-faith? I guess all I can come up
with for the millions of people
affected by HIV and AIDS, for
the millions of people dying
today in Africa, the millions who
have already died, and for the
millions of people who feel compelled to do something about it,
is that there is hope.

Letter to the editor: Where's the remberance for 9/11
September 11, 2001 was a tragedy that
affected the whole world. It changed life
as we know it. O ut innocence was lost as
we watched planes barrel into the World
Trade Center buildings, as well as the
Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. We
watched with horror as thousands of innocent civilians found themselves in a situation that was far beyond our imaginations.
People who felt they had no other option
jumped to their deaths from 80 stories
high. Heroes ran into the buildings without thought to save as many people as they
could. The best in human character was
brought out as well as the worst.
In our local community, schools and
businesses closed. Friends and families
gathered together. We tried to find ways
to handle the rush of emotions we were
all feeling. Many of us begged, hoped, and
prayo^for people to be pulled out alive
from the rubble. Sadly, more were found
dead than alive. Five years later, we as
Americans should not allow ourselves to
forget the catastrophe that occurred that
shook us all to the core.
As an active student on this campus, I
am appalled that this sacred day was not
remembered by our college campus or its
leaders. I have been a member of Alpha
Chi Omega for the last three years, and
have been aware of ASI and other campus
events throughout this time through other
involved peers. I am now a graduate student finishing my teaching credential. My
cohorts sat in class all Monday and they
looked to me to find out if anything special had been planned for this day. Sadly, I
had nothing to report on. A special edition
of The Pride was not ¡published, a time of
remembrance was not observed, and our
precious University Hour was not utilized to bring our community of learners
together and honor those that perished on
September 11th.
I picked up a copy of The Pride on Tuesday to see if anything had been written
and I find at the very bottom of the front
page a small rectangle stating: "We Will
Remember 9-11-01." Then I turned all the
pages and found the largest, article about
alcohol and Mexican food without any
other mention of September 11. How is it
that margaritas and burritos deserve more
words in our paper than those names of
lives that paid the ultimate price?
One semester a student organization put
crosses in the grass to the east of Kellogg
Library. Each cross represented soldiers
that had passed away in the war following 9/11.1 assume that this was a form of
protest against the war. However, nothing
was done in remembrance of the 2,749
innocent victims that died five years ago! I hope that in six, ten, and even twentyfive years down the road, this University
will remind the future youth of this world
about the tragedy that happened. Youth
need to be taught that we cannot allow
something like this to happen again. This
college claims in its own mission statement
that it "exposes us to issues and traditions
of the United States and other countries."
The tradition of American patriotism and
how this attack affected other countries as
well as our own was completely ignored
on 9/11/2006. "To be responsible men and
women we must examine the moral and
ethical issues^' (University Mission Statement) that led up to that day, and helped
us survive the loss of human life. "This
history is affecting our present and will
continue to have a lasting affect on our
future. We need to understand the human
behavior, culture, values, and institutions" (University Mission Statement) that
allowed fellow human beings to commit
such horror.
I am writing this to vent, but I also want
answers. Why did the President of this
University not arrange a campus-wide
moment of silence? Why did The Pride
not publish a list of names of those that
were killed? Why did ASI not organize, a
remembrance activity during University
Hour? Why did the college staff not unite
and allow individual classes tofindappropriate ways of honoring this day? Why was
our American Flag not even lowered to
half-mast? Why was this day completely
ignored by our California State University? I, as well as cohort 77 and Alpha Chi
Omega, and the rest of the student body of
this university deserve an honest answer
to describe such senselessness.
In regards to the daily position of the
American Flag, Section 7.e of the United
States Flag code states that:
"The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of
flags of States or localities or pennants of
societies are grouped and displayed from
staffs" (emphasis added).
Unless we have misread this code, the
flag's positioning should be altered permanently and immediately to be in compliance with federal law.
Completely Disappointed,

Letter to the editor: ASI's Alumni masquerade refusal
My name is Raul Montero, I am an alum
from Gal State University San Marcos I
am writing to you because I am very disturbed and upset regarding how Alumni
are being treated by ASI.
I have been going to Masquerade Ball
for four years now, one year as an alum.
To me this is tradition, and [the] Masquerade Ball is like Homecoming for CSUSM.
I have been trying to get to the ASI office
before it closes at 5 p.m. a few different
times, [but]for a working professional it
can be very difficult to get there by that
particular time. Each time I was only late
by two tofiveminutes and ASI was closed
with nobody inside. I decided to call the
ASI office to see if there was someway to
arrange one single ticket for myself to the
Masquerade Ball. When I did call, a message was relayed to me by the receptionist
at ASI. The message was that Alumni are
not allowed to purchase or obtain tickets
for the Masquerade Ball.
First of all, I have been to Masquerade
Ball before as an alum and did not have
trouble getting a ticket. So is this a new
rule or is [ASI] just flat out lying to me?
Second, is this how the school treats
its own Alumni? By telling alumni that
they are no longer allowed at CSUSM
functions since they aren't a student anymore?
I am sorry, but this is an outrage. I have
never felt like I have been treated with
such disrespect before in my life. If anything, Alumni should be at the top of the
list, seeing that it is difficult for them to
obtain tickets to the dance because most
alumni are working professionals. Is this
what we are telling prospective students?
Sure, attend our school, but once you are
Alumni you are no longer welcome?
I honestly feel like the school has spit in
my face; and at the same time the school
is asking me for monetary contributions
to CSUSM. I really hope The Pride feels
my concern and shares it with the entire
student body, because it seems to be the
only organization on campus that isn't
spitting in the face of the Alumni.

CSUSM student body, and it has come to
our attention that for some of you, drinking
just isn't your thing. That is totally fine by
us, so instead of doing our usual thing and
telling you about our new favorite alcoholbased mixed drink, we've decided to shake
things up a bit and venture into uncharted
territory for this, edition of Drink of the
Week. So, if you aren't of age yet, are
taking a week off from the bars to detox,
or just enjoy reading what the drink of the
week is, then read on my friends, read on!
For those ofyou Starbucks aficionados out
Photo by Amanda Andreen / The Pride
there, this DotW is right up your alley. And
for those of you who are anti-Starbucks or
have never experienced a Starbucks drink,
the new line of autumn-inspired drinks
at Starbucks might just tickle your fancy.
Along with the seasonal pumpkin-flavored
lattes, Frappuccinos and crème drinks,
there are also new maple syrup flavored
drinks available. This week's latest discovery is the new Maple Macchiato. And
when I say "new," I'm mean it is just within
the past week that this syrupy delight has
invaded the decorative chalkboards hanging on the walls of Starbucks Coffee Company Stores nationwide.
What is in a Maple Macchiato, you ask?
Well, if you've ever had a Caramel Macchiato, it's pretty similar; just subtract the caramel and add maple syrup and you're set. For
a 16 ounce Maple Macchiato (also known
as a Grande), your local barista would start
with three pumps of maple syrup, then add
steamed milk, two shots of espresso, a scoop
of foam, and maple drizzle, and viola! Your
very own Maple Macchiato.
I will warn you though—the Maple Macchiato isn't for amateurs. It's kind of like
drinking pancakes, and it's really just like
drinking maple syrup. Personally, I wasn't
too crazy about it; I think I'll stick with my
Caramel Macchiato, thank you very much.
But if you've ever gone to Denny's and
wished you could combine your Pancake
Slam breakfast with a hot cup of coffee,
this drink is a match made in heaven for
your taste buds. A little bit of the Maple
Macchiato goes a long way, so as with
many things in life, the general rule "less
is more" is definitely appropriate to apply
to Starbucks' Maple Macchiato. Enjoy!
Beer of the Week
Samuel Adams Octoberfest
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
For almost two hundred years, the
Bavarian holiday of Oktoberfest has
been celebrated in countries around
the world. Originally created to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince
Ludwig I to Princess Therese SaxeHildburghausen in 1810, Oktoberfest
is celebrated with drinking specially
brewed beers and traditional dishes in
large public tents.
This week marks the end of Oktoberfest; the festivities typically last 15
days until the first Sunday in October.
That not withstanding, in a continuation of our Oktoberfest celebrations, we
will look at another domestic Oktoberfest brew—Samuel Adams Octoberfest
brew.
While it may be on par with German
Oktoberfest brews such as Paulaner or
Spaten Oktoberfest-Biers, of the American Oktoberfest beers, Samuel Adams is
perhaps one of the best. It hasa beautiful, dark reddish amber, almost pumpkin color to it. It pours with a full fizzy
head that lasts for several minutes. The
beer's smell is complex, malty and
sweet; mixing a caramelflavorwith a bit
of spice.
In the tradition of Oktoberfest beers,
it is darker, stronger and spicier than its
year-round counterparts. Samuel Adams
Octoberfest is 5.4% alcohol content by
volume versus the 4.9% of the typical
Boston Lager, and it's slightly darker in
color. The beer has four malts: Crystal,
Harrington, Moravian and Munich, all
of which can clearly be tasted over the
hop's profile. It has a rich mouthfeel and
a dry but pleasant aftertaste.
Samuel Adams Octoberfest is a good
session beer, or it can be easily paired
with a variety of heartier dishes. It is
available from August through October,
as a draft and in 12 ounce bottles in six
and twelve packs.
When the Oktober- é ÊÊPÊtb
fest season comes to a
close it is always a sad- ^ ^ K f l
dening time, but this
year, it is especially
poignant time. Last
week a raging fire in
Yakima, Washington destroyed 4% of
the United States'
beer brewing hops.
While the beer
industry
Will
survive, it is an
u n f o r t u n a t e .*§
event which ^
robbed
the S
beer drinkers °
of this country of so many ©
delicious hops. &
In respect to s
both thé end of
the season and
this
terrible
loss, it's only
appropriate to
raise a glass of
Samuel Adams
Octoberfest.

Jonny Lang: Turn Around
BY AMANDA ÄNDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
Looking for an escape? Some
kind of saving grace to transport
you to an alternate frame of mind
or sense of being? Well, look
no further. Jonny Lang's "Turn
Around" is about to alleviate your
bout of existential turmoil. With a
soulful album of fiery blues, traditional twang, Southern gospel
rock and total guitar domina-
tion, don't be afraid to give good
'ol Jonny his dues when you pop
"Turn Around" into your Discman for a listen or two. "Jonny
Lang?!" you're thinking—yes,
Jonny Lang. As he proclaims on
"Anything's Possible," "don't be
deceived, anything is possible."
This latest album separates him
from his yesteryears, helping him
break free from what most of us
remember him as: a kid pop-star
that broke into the scene around
the time of Hanson and the cult
followings of boy bands.
Keeping that in mind, Jonny's
"Turn Around" has inadvertently
become the soundtrack for my
2006 whirlwind fall semester at
CSUSM. The 15 tracks act as a
wardrobe of emotions and memories, each song suiting a different
disposition. If it's a pick-me-up
or whim of inspiration you need,
then "Turn Around" has your
name written all over it. Can't
stop thinking about that special someone? Then "My Love
Remains" is the song your heart
is singing.
Ever feel like there is something more out there for you and
you just haven't been able to put
your finger on it yet? "Only a
Man" has the validation you're
looking for and will sting you
with its comfort and truth. The
beautiful duet and falsettos created by Jonny himself remind me
of a rootsy gospel country hymn,
leading me down an imaginative
path of self-discovery.
Immediately following is the
upbeat "Don't Stop (For Anything)" that will get you moving
and your soulful rock attitude
back in check. I guarantee you'll
find yourself rocking out to this
one, nodding your head and
WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA
CSU students and the faculty at our 23 universities need and deserve a learning
environment that is conducive to providing quality education. That is why the CSU is
disappointed that the California Faculty Association bargaining team did not allow its
members to evaluate the most recent proposal put on the table by the CSU, which includes:
•
•
A 24.87 percent salary increase over four years, beginning in 2006/07, contingent
upon funding of the Compact with the Governor and an additional 1 percent
augmentation for compensation
Continuation of the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), reducing the
number of years from five to four
•
Incentive and equity pay program for full professors and tenure-track professors
•
No changes to ¿acuity eligibility tor PERS retirement
•
Above standard health and dental benefits totaling $ 120 million per year in
contributions by the CSU. This includes $12 million in contributions CSU will pay
for health costs for faculty during 2007-08.
•
Gradual ly increased parking fees for faculty so at the end of four years they pay the
same parking fees as students
and Michael Buble all have nothing on Jonny Lang.
Even if you're still on the fence
regarding the strikingly talented
Mr. Lang, take my advice and
give "Turn Around" a chance. It's
time to break free from your listening habits; give that worn out
Jack Johnson album a rest and
mix things up. What's the worst
that could happen?

�The Pride
covers the
San Diego
Film Festival
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Jason Priestly and his wife
Naomi walked the red carpet
at the Pacific Gaslamp 15 Theater, one of the key venues at
the San Diego Film Festival.
Eager filmgoers gathered outside the theater, waiting to see
the Vancouver-born actor's new
film, "Hot Tamale," in which
he plays Jude, a jewel thief
on the run. Before he was
ushered to his seat, I was
able to have a word with
Priestly, who had this to
say to the aspiring actors
at CSUSM:
"I always feel like
the
most
impor-
The Pride's interview with
J ason Priestly
tant advice to give young
actors is to study [and]
to stay in school. The
one thing that has reaped
more rewards for me as a
performer is the fact that I
took the time to go to theater school and study my
craft. The exceptions to the
rule are very few and far
between, the exceptions
being people who got off
a bus in Hollywood and
were discovered at the
counter in Schwab's drug
store. But, the reality is that
doesn't happen.
The most important
thing you can do arid the
most important respect
that you can pay your
craft as a thespian
is to study and to
understand what
it is that you're
doing.
Once
you have that
k nowledge,
you always
have that
knowledge
to , fall
b ack
o n.
The Pride's A&E editor interviews Jason Priestly at the Pacific 15 Theater.
There are always times in every
actor's career where you sort of
find yourself floundering, and
you can get lost within the material and not know what to do. But
if you have studied, and if you
have the knowledge to fall back
on, you can figure it out and the
path will become clear."
As for his own acting education, Jason Priestly studied under
Howard Fine and June Whitaker.
Starting out as a child actor in TV
commercials, Jason Priestly has
been involved in at least 36 film
and TV projects, including a roc-

kumentary he directed featuring
The Barenaked Ladies, the popular 90s prime-time soap "Beverly
Hills, 90210," and the indie film
"Die Mommie Die!" which won

�The Pride covers the San Diego Film Festival
Flying Canter brothers swoop up award
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The House of Blues, host of the San Diego
Film Festival Actor's Ball and Awards Ceremony, was packed with VTPs after the
weekend long celebration commenced.
An unpredictable combination of canapés,
cocktails, and RedBull fueled the enthusiasm of those in attendance. Amongst them
were Markus and Mason Canter, otherwise
known as The Flying Canter Brothers. The
Pride managed to catch up with the highflying directing duo to ask them a few questions.
The Pride: Do you have any advice for
Cal State San Marcos future filmmakers?
Markus: First and foremost, getting to
the San Diego Film Festival—it's all about
making movies, one movie at a time. You
tell a great story. Definitely tell a great
story.
Mason: Tell something that you know
Image courtesy of FCB
about, something that you have been emotionally connected to for a while; and be
passionate about it. Don't pick something
just because you think it's what everybody
wants. Pick something that's individual to
you. And, if you tell that story, if you get
it out to people in a way that connects to
them, then your audiences are going to
feel it. And it's all about emotions. The
movie business is about putting a bunch
of moments together that creates an entire
feeling [and] tells a story. Our whole thing,
what do we say? (He turns to Markus) We
always say do stuff that you're passionate
about. Get off the couch.
Markus: Making a movie, you're going
to invest anywhere from a weekend to a
few years into making afilm,depending on
what you're doing. And if you're
going to do that, you want
to focus on something that
everyday you're going to
be passionate about and
inspired to keep doing,
because after about a month or a year of
making a movie - you've spent your money
on it, and you've put your time and your
heart into it - if you haven't chosen something you really believe in, at the end of the
day you're really not going to make a great
movie.
Mason: Another thing I would love to
add is that right now we are so fortunate,
because [the] technology that we have
today, with cameras like the DVX100A
or the new HD, the 200, you can, anybody
can, go out there and be afilmmaker.And
you can make professional quality stuff.
So, it gives you the opportunity to experiment. It's not like back in the day where
16mm was really expensive and you had
to rent the camera. Get your hands on any
camera you can and experiment until you
find your voice and youfindsomething that
works for you.
Markus: I'll also say that both of us went
tofilmschool, so, and this is to whether you
went to film school or not, but ultimately
what I have seen in the mentors I have
had in my life or just the people that have
been masters in this craft [is that] it's a lifetime thing. You get better every time you
do this. Every time you pick up [a] camera
you get better. Every time you tell a story or
write something, you get better at it. So [if]
somebody starts out and they have a passion for it [and] their first movie [doesn't]
quite work out, do it again, because you
will get better each time you do it.
Mason: If you are lucky enough that there
is somebody around that you admire that is
already makingfilms,try to learn as much
as you can from them. If there's not, then
pick who your favorite filmmaker is and
leafn everything about them. Whether it's
Coppola, Spielberg, or Scorsese, whoever
it is that you love, know as much as you can
about how they made their movies and how
they got to where they are, so that you can
learnfromtheir knowledge.
The Pride: Do you have a favorite filmmaker?
Mason: We have a couple.
Markus: Being the fact that we're the
Flying Canter Brothers, obviously we love
the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers are
one of our all-time favorites. Scorsese is
[also] definitely a favorite.
Mason: Usually I always say Kubrick.
Marcus was always really into Kubrick. All
my papers in college were about Kubrick
because
visually he's amazing.
Markus:
The
way he V H B frames every image
I love it. g ^ V But there are so many
great and I B B amazing filmmakers.
It's more • •
like what movies—I
love this ^ ffik movie from this
filmmaker. I B B ^ love that one from
another
one. And we like

not
partial
to any one
genre.

Directors of the film Mason (left) and Markus (right) Canter.
We just like telling different stories in different ways, keeping it fresh.
The Pride: What made you decide to
make "Chasing the Horizon"?
Mason: We had written a movie called
"Bobby Zero" that we're getting geared up
to make, but we did a deal with Effie Brown
[Producer Effie Brown, head of Duly Noted
Inc.] who produced "Real Women Have
Curves;" She won the Independent Spirit
Award for that. And when we did our
deal with her, we knew that we had a bit
of time between the movie she was working on and when we were going to be able
to make ["Bobby Zero"]. The great thing
about "Chasing the Horizon" is that it's a
documentary and in documentaries no one
has to give you a green light but you, You
can put together a small crew of people, get
your friends together, people that you trust
that are talented, and go out there [and] find
something you want to tell a story about.
For us, it just happened to be that we're race
fans and this movie's backdrop is the Baja
1000 which is one of the most famous races
in the world. [It's] dangerous and grueling,
and people try their entire life just to try to
win [it]. They will do it year after year, after
year, after year. Luckily enough, we met
Jeff Lloyd who owns the team, and it was
his first year [in the BajalOOO]. We wanted
to tell a story that was about a guy who was
starting out from scratch, a rookie, someone who
Markus: (Breaks in.) This is the underdog
story. "Chasing the Horizon" is the ultimate
underdog story. It's a feature documentary
about a misfit, dysfunctional, rookie offroad racing team. [It follows} one
man's quest and dream of win-,
ning and
finishing this race. Filmmaking is about
humanity. It's about human beings. We
had never made a documentary and doing
a documentary is the ultimate truth. Our
bias becomes imprinted on it. But, we went
out to make this [documentary] as close to
exactly what happened as possible and ultimately that's what we did. We learned so
much as directors doing it. You're watching real, live performances in front of your
eyes, and you really get to learn what it feels
like. So, I think infilmschool, if I was starting infilmschool today and I was having a
class, I would have people go out and make
documentaries first so [they] can see what
reality looks like on film. Now that we're
going to go make "Bobby Zero," I can feel
reality better than ever, so when I see a performance and someone is performing and it
feels like a performance...
Mason: (Breaks in.) Our movie never has
a moment that feels forced. And I say that
really confidently because we spent a lot
of time to make sure that everything that
was in it was exactly how it went down. We
never asked the guys in it, like some reality
TV producers [do], "Hey, can you say that
line," or, "We need you to fight with that
guy." The reason people connect to [our
film] is because it's real.
And people did connect to "Chasing the
Horizon." Thefilmwon Best Documentary
later that evening. Expressing both their
happiness and their surprise, the Canter
brothers were defiantly flying high that
night.

Last Friday on November 17,
ASI met for their weekly Board
of Directors meeting in which
they briefly discussed The Prominence Pilot Project that will
affect all CSUSM students.
The San Marcos S heriffs
Department, The University
Police and the Dean of Students' Office are adamant about
addressing behavioral problems
off-campus. The Chancellor of
the California State University
System has applied executive
order 969 addressing student
'conduct to all CSUSM students.
The Prominence Pilot Project is
aimed at those individuals going
off campus to the Prominence
Apartments, drinking, then
returning to campus and creating a potentially dangerous situation.

from numerous CSU schools joined forces
in front of Dumke Auditorium at CSULB

increase for faculty over the past 18 months
and the possible 10% tuition increase facing
students in the proposed 2007-2008 budget.

�CSUSM's Coalition for Women's Prisons
to hold vigil in front of Vista jail
BY KELLY CORRIGAN
Pride Staff Writer
On December 2, CSUSM's chapter of
Coalition for Women's Prisons will hold
a vigil in front of Vista Jail for a woman
who recently died. Professors Jodi
Lawston and Sharon Elise are leaders
of the coalition and will be spearheading the event. The coalition is still in its
beginning stages on campus and it aims
to expose the inequality of prisoners in
women's prisons.
In 1995 the California Coalition for
Women's Prisons began in the Bay Area
when a lawsuit titled Wilson vs. Shumate
sparked attention toward the inadequacies of the healthcare system for women
in prison.
Since 1999, Lawston has been involved
with prison activism. Lawston is currently in the midst of researching women
in prison, social justice movements,
and resistance to oppression within the
prison system. According to Lawston,
nine women died in 2000 from wrongful deaths in a six week time span. Most
of the women were in their 30s or 40s
and died from such illnesses as asthma
attacks, Hepatitis C and AIDS. Each of
these women lived and suffered with the
illnesses without knowing they were ill.
After their deaths, officials found that
the illnesses were explicitly stated in
their files and that they had been denied
of proper medical treatment. Following
this situation, the legislator decided that
something had to be done, but until this
day, nothing has been accomplished in
forwarding a better health system for
women in prison.
When asked why prisoners are mistreated, Lawston replied, "Prisoners are
an isolated group of people, they're not
heard about in the media, they're invisible in the population of people. The idea
is that people in prison did something
wrong so they deserved to be punished."
Lawston added, "An average of 65 prisoners have been dying every year due to
poor medical care."
The improper treatment of women in
Prison led Lawston and Professor Sharon
Elise to lead the CSUSM chapter for the
California Coalition for Women Prisons.
Lawston says, "We are striving to raise
awareness of the major problems and
human rights violations that occur in the
criminal justice system everyday; from
racial profiling to the lack of adequate
medical care. Like the mission statement
of the main chapter of CCWP in the Bay
Area, we want to raise public consciousness about the cruel and inhumane conditions under which women in prison live,
and advocate for positive changes."
Recently, a young woman, whose
identity is being withheld in respect to
her family, died in the Vista Detention
Center. According to Lawston, "On September 19, she was pulled over for reasons that are still unknown." She was
arrested and sent to the Vista Detention
Center. Once in jail, she communicated
with her family and told them she was
receiving a blood test because she was
suspected of driving under the influence of a drug. Due to her poor health,
she was confined to a medical cell. The
guard on watch could see her through
the window in the door. Two days later,
she began to hyperventilate. A few hours
later, it appeared that she was sleeping
in her bed. A few hours before she was
pronounced dead, she was seen lying on
thefloorof her cell.
When her family met with the medical
examiner, the examiner told the family
that the result of her death would have
to wait, pending the results from toxicology. To this date, her family still does
not know the cause of her death.
In remembrance for her death, the
CSUSM chapter of CCWP will hold the
vigil on December 2 at noon in front of
the Vista Detention Center.
Lawston says, "This made us realize
that little work was being done in North
County around prison abuse, and we
have Vista and The California Institute
for Women right in our backyards. We
also have many students who have family
or friends in prison. We wanted to raise
awareness of this recent death, and on a
larger scale, the abuses that go on in the
prison system all the time."
During the vigil, CSUSM's CCWP
will be handing outflowersand lighting
candles in her honor, and they will also
present her family with flowers. Guest
speakers will discuss the healthcare
crisis in California's prisons and jails.
Lawston says, "The knowledge that will
be gained from this vigil is important
because the degradation of human dignity in prisons, of our fellow citizens,
reflects who we are as a society."

stitutes a large number of CIA
employees.
This massive shortage in the
CIA has lead to a hiring campaign that has also created new
opportunities for the CIA. The
CIA travels to campuses across
the nation in hopes of hiring
young, mature college students.
The speakers for the seminar
were Joe Dorcy, who recruits for
the Clandestine Service of the
CIA, and Michael Mow, who is
head of the West Coast Recruiting Office for the CIA.
"The primary mission of the
CIA is to collect, evaluate, and
disseminate foreign intelligence
to assist the President and Senior
U.S. government policymakers
in making decisions for national
security. The CIA is not a law
enforcement agency and the CIA
does not make foreign policy,"
stated Dorcy who wanted to
clearly communicate the purpose
of the CIA.
Throughout the seminar a few
key points were stressed by both
Dorcy and Mow: the CIA is looking for students with integrity,
maturity, motivation, the willingness to live outside of the U.S.
or in Langley Virginia where the
CIA Headquarters are located,
and they are looking for students
with traveling experience and fluency in foreign languages, especially Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Dari,
and Pashto.
The CIA offers a summer
internship for third year college
students. To enter the CIA Professional Trainee Program, students must apply nine months
prior to entering the program
and must be at least 21 years
of age. Students who currently
want to enter the internship have

Media critic raises
awareness of Katrina victims
BY HEATHER SHEDD
Pride Staff Writer
During University Hour on Thursday,
November 16, Jennifer Porzner brought a
serious issue to the table regarding how
society and political partisanship played
into the portrayal of Hurricane Katrina,
and the aftermath these perceptions had
on the victims of the environmental tragedy.
Pozner is a widely published journalist and media critic whose essays have
appeared in anthologies such as "What
Do We Do Now?" and "The W Effect:
Bush's War on Womenl" She founded
Women In Media & News in 2001 and
is the organizer of the National Feminist
Coalition on Public Broadcasting. Pozrier
is also involved in many other feminist
organizations and acts as a media critic
regularly.
Jennifer Pozner came to CSUSM with a
mission to reveal what she felt may have
been hidden from the citizens of our nation
as established by a bias media. The discussion that she brought at hand was centered
on media's reaction to Hurricane Katrina
during its occurrence, as well as its affect
one year later. She opened the discussion
with a reference to the New York Times
headline on the day of Katrina's one year
anniversary, which read "A Year After
Katrina, Bush Still Fights for 9/11 Image."
Her fighting position about a bias media
deadline and will have to wait
until next fall semester to apply.
The internship pays a proportional salary equal to that of an
entering CIA agent.
To enter the program, all students must apply online at the
CIA website. A phone interview or a possible sit down
interview will then be conducted. If the interview is a
success then the CIA will send
out a packet to the student. The
packet includes SF-86 security clearance forms, financial
forms and health documents. If
the CIA approves the information in the packet, then the CIA
will then conduct a polygraph
test along with a physical and
psychological evaluation.
Mow said, "You must not have
tried an illegal drug within one
year and not have a history of
financial irresponsibility," Mow
suggested a few things for the
is first recognized in her concern of those
ultimately victimized by such a tragedy but
were so easily disregarded due to a priority
in the seemingly more important affect in
politics. "Notice, there's no word from the
times, by the way, as to whether the victims
have yet to recover." claimed Pozner, as she
further stated her case that the victims of
Katrina have not received due recognition
for their suffering.
Further on into the discussion, listeners were reminded of the infamous racial
controversy that our society has always
seemed to return to under any circumstance. Pozner quoted captions of pictures
from past articles during the hurricane;'
questioning why "Blacks were said to
have 'stolen food' from abandoned places
whereas whites were said to have 'found
food,' though it was the same'concept." She
also quoted and criticized "The O'Reilly
Factor's" Bill O'Reilly, and his comments,
not only on race, but gender and politics as
well. She then concluded her message with
possible solutions that should, or can be
taken, with high hopes that someday these
solutions may just be put to the test; if only
media would serve what she felt was proper
and adequate information to the people at
large.
Pozner commented that CSUSM was one
of the first campuses in a year to be willing
to hold a discussion of such a controversial
topic as is the media's take on Hurricane
Katrina and politics in America.
online application.
"Take your time when filling
out the application, copy and
save your information because
you will not be able to edit your
information later on. The objective box which we read first is
the last question on the application so make sure you fill this
out thoroughly. Mention that you
attended the CSUSM CIA seminar. Explain why you want to
work for the CIA and why you
feel you are competitive," said
Mow.
A career in the CIA has great
benefits such as a 401K savings
plan, a credit union, a work
and family center, a child care
center, annual and sick leave,
life insurance,
alternative
retirement system, and great
travel opportunities. Entering
CIA agents can earn between
$47,000—70,000 a year. Sign
on bonuses can be up to $30,000
for people with specific foreign
languages such as Arabic. All
relocation costs are paid for by
the CIA.
Dorcy has two college educated children and a wife. He and
his family have spent 60-70 percent of his 25-year career with
the CIA outside the U.S., moving
every three to four years. When
asked by a student if CIA agents
were allowed to have families,

From CFA PROTEST, page 1
On October 2, a UVA resident, whose identity will remain
undisclosed by The Pride,
posted pictures of their self and
their friends on their Facebook.
com account. A picture consisting of two UVA residents holding an open bottle of champagne
in what is questionably University Village Apartments was
submitted to UVA staff. This
picture would later find those in
it in violation of UVA's alcohol
paraphernalia code.
According to the involved
parties, on the night they were
drinking at the UVA, no incident
report was made by any resident
advisor, nor was there any form
of complaint or notice of violation given to any party member.
Twelve days later, the involved
parties all received a strike from
UVA Resident Director Ryan
McRae after the Facebook pictures had been posted and turned
in anonymously. With two more
strikes, residents can be permanently evicted from the UVA.
Also according to the parties
involved, on October 13 each
received a neon pink flyer stating that "they had received a
package" at the front desk. The
same flyer all UVA residents
receive when they have a package in the mail that is too large
to fit in their mail box informing them that in order to receive
the package they must go to the
front desk and sign for it. However, after arriving at the front
desk to receive the package,
they were informed there was
no package and were all given
a strike notice instead. When
asked why residents received
this particular flyer before
they received the strike notice,
McRae said, u We want to make
sure the residents receive the
notice." McRae described how
last year the UVA staff would
deliver the strike notices to the
residents' apartments but when
that particular resident wasn't
home, the strike notice would
never leave the hands of his or
her roommate.
"On the back of my letter was
a black and white picture of me
and my roommate and our friend
holding a bottle of champagne.
We weren't drinking [from] it;
my friend was just holding it in
[their] hand. My roommates a ll.

got different pictures."
Shortly after receiving the
strike notices, a meeting with
the UVA Resident Director was
scheduled. Each of the residents
held pending strikes against them
and were told that they needed to
schedule a one-on-one appointment with McRae. During the
meeting, they were told that the
source of the printed photographs was anonymous. "At the
meeting, we all admitted that we
had been drinking and we each
received one alcohol strike."
McRae said, "Sometimes we
get envelopes in our box marked
UVA and we won't know what
it is till we open it. It's always
from residents who choose to
remain anonymous." McRae
described that especially last
year, the UVA directors experienced a huge influx of anonymous residents turning in other
resident's photographs found on
Myspace or Facebook accounts.
" I would hate for students to
lose an opportunity with a career
to pictures on their Myspace or
Facebook, pictures they wouldn't
want to see out there."
The undisclosed resident
received a strike because they
were underage and drank alcohol
on UVA property. McRae says,
"When the photograph captures
a resident breaking UVA policy,
then they will receive a strike. It
works the same way if we see a
picture of someone climbing out
of the third story window. Basically, anything that could kill
them."
All resident's who receive a
strike regarding alcohol must
attend one alcohol class. The
parties in mention received a
strike because they were underage and they broke the policy
stated in the UVA handbook.
Under the Alcohol, Drugs, and
Paraphernalia section of the
UVA handbook, it reads, "We
do not search for images of
residents drinking, but digital
images or photographs are useable for proof of consumption if
it occurs on UVA property."
The undisclosed resident also
received a flyer addressing the
alcohol class. The flyer is titled
Alcohol Class and reads, "Location: Community Building.
Bring a piece of paper and a pen.
Good times. If you can't make it,
you will need to write a 6 page
paper on "The Dangers of Binge
Drinking on College Campuses.
See you there!" Below the text
is an image of what looks to
be an intoxicated man holding
a bottle of alcohol. "This letter
was not appropriate and it basically made fun of our situation,"
said the resident. When asked
. about the flyer, McRae said, "I
want to be fun about it. I know
college kids drink. I get that.
But this class isn't like traffic
school. It's about being successful in school, it's about making
healthy choices that won't have
a negative impact on education.
During the alcohol meetings^?
residents share their experiences with each other. McRae
says, "Students will learn from
each other more than they'll
learn from me."
The resident also commented
that "This doesn't make me want
to live in the UVA again because
I feel that instead of understanding that we are all at college and
experiencing new things, I feel
like I'm being babysat and every
single thing we do is subject to
punishment in any way possible. With this in mind it's obvious with the amount of freshmen and other students going to
Prominence every weekend, that
the students don't feel comfortable drinking at the dorms so
they resort to going somewhere
else where they feel they won't
get in trouble."
What i
of protestors
Armed with signs reading
"Reed, Reed, give the people
what they need" for example, the
large gathering of CSU members
took to the streets of Long Beach
as a smaller group of enthusiasts
entered the meeting itself to present a pledge called "Pledge for
the Future of CSU" to the trustees. The pledge calls for lower
tuition, the cut of all 'perks' for
CSU executives and the allocation
of that money specifically for student instruction, as well as compiling fair compensation contracts
for all faculty and CSU staff in
the future. Without being able to
carry out their meeting, trustees
waited in silence with the ensuing
presentation of the pledge unfolding in the meeting chambers with
protests still ringing loud outside.
Unable to coerce the protestors
to leave, the trustees surrendered
and signed the proposed pledge
and exited the building.
Located on the CSUSM California Faculty Association's website,
the President of CFA, John Travis
saysi "Faculty members at every
campus can describe the impact
the bad decisions and misplaced
priorities of this CSU administration has had on them and on their
students: They are cutting campus
budgets at Humboldt, Sacramento,
L.A., Dominguez Hills, and East
Bay, while they pay former executives millions for nothing long after
they have left the CSU," further
explaining, "It's not our nature as
academics to disrupt meetings. But
we have our responsibility to fight
for our students, for the university
and for ourselves and our families.
That responsibility is what moved
us today to send the Trustees running." Many faculty and students
on campus at CSUSM shared this
sentiment as 40 CSUSM professors and 25 CSUSM students participated in the protest.
The impact of the spending
made by CSU Trustees is great
as the California State University
system is the largest state school
system in the nation. Enrolling more than 400,000 students
each year and employing roughly
40,000 faculty and staff, the CSU
system has and continues to educate Californians with its 23 campuses located all over the state.

The City of San Diego loses its case
against the Medicinal Use of Marijuana
BY DAVID BAUER
Pride Staff Writer
On Thursday state judges ruled
against San Diego County's lawsuit
against California's medicinal marijuana laws. The challenge was filed by
the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and asked the state courts to stop
the state from enforcing Prop. 215: the
proposition permitting the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
In 1996, 55% San Diegans voted to
support the Compassionate Use Act,
Proposition 215, for the use of marijuana
for medical purposes. The law requires
counties in California to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users
and also maintain a registry of people
who apply for them. The law allows
patients with AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraine and
"any other illness for which marijuana
provides r elief' to possess or grow
marijuana in small amounts with the
recommendation of a doctor.
Since its passing 10 states have created similar laws to allow for the use
of marijuana by patients and protection for them against prosecution. And
recently, a poll taken by the Marijuana
Policy Project, a pro-medical marijuana
organization, found that 78% of voters
polled in the county opposed the law-
suit.
However, one state, South Dakota,
rejected a ballot measure last week that
would have permitted medical marijuana use. San Diego County is one of
only three counties in California that
have opposed the proposition. San Bernardino and Merced County's Boards
of Supervisors in January filed similar
suits which were consolidated with the
suitfiledby San Diego.
The lawsuit argues that in accordance with the supremacy clause of
the United States' Constitution, federal law is supreme therefore the existing federal laws prohibiting the use of
marijuana for any purpose overrides
any state law California has passed.
Last June, in a case on a related topic,
the Supreme Court ruled that federal
authorities could prosecute crimes even
in states like California.
Nonetheless, the ruling passed down
by San Diego Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt Jr. took the matter under
submission. This ruling tentatively
struck down the County's suit after
the initial arguments. After the tentative ruling, the County's lawyers gave
oral arguments later that day, but again
did not succeed in changing the mind of the court.
The argument, given by
San Diego lawyer
Thomas Bunton, focused mainly on
states' requirements to fully enforce
federal laws. The California Department of Justice's ruling indicates that
in the view of the court, they were not.
The court's final ruling, which will
most likely remain against the suit, is
expected sometime in December.
While county voters do not appear
to favor the lawsuit, there is a good
chance the County Supervisors may
appeal the courts decision. San Diego
County receives $4.3 billion dollars
from the government, most of which
are federal dollars. By not complying
with federal law, the cash strapped
county could potentially be denied
that money.
Lawyers for Merced County
announced in front of the judge that
the county would appeal the decision
and would be requesting a stay for the
duration of the litigation. San Diego
County lawyers have not yet announced
whether they will appeal the decision
or not, and may wait on issuing a statement hoping that the court will change
its mind for the final ruling.

�New doors

W ith Donald Rumsfield's resignation, a new
foreign policy is in place
BY MARTIN GALA
Pride Staff Writer
The elections on November 7
proved that Americans are eager
for change. Democrats reclaimed
power over the House of Representatives by a comfortable
margin, and managed to take
back the Senate by only one seat.
The Republicans loss of Congress allegedly led to Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's
resignation. While some students
may be unaware of his resignation, it could potentially cause
major changes in the lives of
many students.
Rumsfeld was a principal
member of a small group called
the National Security Council
whose purpose is formulating the
goals and objectives of United
States foreign policy, and creating the means in which to obtain
those goals. As Secretary of
Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was
in charge of managing the Pentagon which controls all military
branches including the Marines,
Army, Air Force and Navy. This
means that his decisions affected
the deployment of troops, including units stationed at Camp
Pendleton, Miramar Air Station
and other surrounding bases that
many students and students' families are stationed at.
In recent days, there has been
controversy as to whether Rumsfeld personally resigned, or if
he was forced out of the Bush
Administration. The White
House refused to comment about
any actual details pertaining to
the buildup of Rumsfeld's dismissal, but recent speculation
amongst analysts indicates that
the preparations have been on the
minds of many high ranking officials within the Bush administration for quite some time.
There were numerous advocates of the former defense secretary's resignation; First Lady
Laura Bush, former White House
Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and
not to mention numerous high
ranking Generals that publicly
announced their dissatisfaction of
Rumsfeld's leadership within the
Pentagon. According to numerous political analysts, President Bush had been reluctant to
oust Rumsfeld earlier because
of their close relationship. The
President's loyalty to the former
Secretary of Defense held strong
despite the growing amount of
public criticism over the past few
Photo courtesy of www.dod.gov
years over his mishandling of the
war in Iraq.
Soon after Donald Rumsfeld
was forced to resign, the White
House announced that they had
selected a promising replacement.
On November 8, 2006 President
George W. Bush nominated Dr.
Robert M. Gates to be the next
Secretary of Defense. Recently
Dr. Gates was a member of the
Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan
group co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, and
Lee Hamilton, a former chair of
the House Committee on International Relations. The group was
formed to help make recommen-
dations to Bush on how to proceed in Iraq. These include decisions of whether to send additional troops, adjust deployment
lengths or—even though highly
unlikely—institute a draft.
Robert Gates comes to the
table with a vast understanding on international relations; he
has served under six presidents,
of both Republican and Democratic parties, and has years of
experience on both the National
Security Council and the Central
Intelligence Agency. Dr. Gates
is currently the 22nd President of
Texas A&M University, and will
remain so, until he passes his
upcoming Senate confirmation
hearings.
Many analysts speculate that
Dr. Gates will bring a fresh perspective to the Bush National
Security Council. After three
years of combat, the Iraq war
has cost the lives of a number
of American troops, including
family and friends of CSUSM
students as well as members of
the North County community.
As the new Secretary of Defense,
Robert Gates will be in charge of
making decisions for the United
States in Iraq, and try to prevent
any further losses.

Many professors are excited for
the new upper and lower division
classes and what they will offer
to students. This will increase the
breadth of many of the language
majors and minors and increase
the level of understanding of the
languages and the cultures behind
them. In these courses, teachers
get to watch students grow and
develop specific language skills,
perhaps utilizing their skills later
on to travel the world. Through
the Study Abroad Program on
campus too, CSUSM students
have the opportunity to enter
language programs and travel to
places like Japan and live there
while continuing their study in
school, furthering their grasp of
the foreign language.
For those students who are not
interested in pursuing a degree
or minoring in one of the offered
languages, it is still beneficial
to all students to be aware that
many of the lower-level language
classes can be used to fulfill the

necessary to graduate. Students
must complete a course or a

other than English to graduate.
Every language major and minor

�Thanksgiving
websites of the week
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Preparing for Thanksgiving can be a
difficult task. To help simplify the festivities, three Thanksgiving themed websites
have been chosen with information to help
Cougars make the holiday more fun and
less of a hassle. The content of the three
websites should provide enough information and entertainment to get CSUSM Students through their Thanksgiving breaks
relatively headache free.
Celebrate-thanksgiving.com is one of
the "Celebrate Sites." "Celebrate Sites" is
a family of websites owned and operated
by Better Homes and Gardens. The site
features six categories that include; recipes, turkey, entertaining, menus, pictures,
and decorating. The best information this
website offers is a complete user's guide
on how to creatively throw a magnificent
Thanksgiving party. From punch recipes
to table top decorating ideas the website
leaves no detail, no matter how small,
unmentioned. Furthermore, the website
includes a list of common Thanksgiving
oriented questions with clear and concise
answers, from how to deal with bickering
siblings to when to order a fresh turkey.
This website is definitely beneficial to the
avid Thanksgiving host.
Holidays.net/thanksgiving/ is one of the
many sub-pages of the holidays.net web-
site which gives individual pages to each of
the major American holidays. The website
features 13 categories such as The Story of
Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Turkey,
Thanksgiving Blog, Thanksgiving Crafts,
Holiday Home Decorations, Thanksgiving
Greeting Cards, and Holiday Music. This
website helps get Cougars into the Turkey
Day spirit by providing amusing Thanksgiving entertainment such as songs and
computer screensavers. While most of the
content would be best suited for children,
there are also some features of the website that are useful to and fun for people of
all ages. There are also printable images
and free email cards to send to help spread
holiday cheer.
The final website is for those that want
to know more about where Thanksgiving traditions came from. History.com/
minisites/thanksgiving/ features an in
depth history surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. This website provides
accurate information for Cougars who
want to know the real reason for gobbling 10 pounds of food in one day. The
website includes six categories to choose
from which are First Thanksgiving,
Mayflower Myths, Pilgrim Interviews,
Proclamation, a video of the History of
Thanksgiving, and the History Channel's Macy's Parade Float. The website
even offers the History of Thanksgiving on DVD for sale for those that who'd
like to spend the holiday reclining in
their favorite chair, stomach stretched
to infinity and beyond, learning the history of Thanksgiving on DVD. During
the Thanksgiving break visit these three
websites to fully experience the Thanksgiving holiday.

�Letters to the Editor: University Hour
University will lose
life and connections
University Hour creates
better life on campus
It has come to my attention that some
people dislike University hour and that
it may be "done away with." I, one out
of many other voices here at Cal State,
would like to say that I love University
Hour. I love the chances it has given me
to meet new people and get involved
with clubs around campus. It is my only
free hour between class and work that
I get where I can rest, be entertained,
and/or meet with friends. Being a freshmen, I came here knowing no one and
unfamiliar to the campus and what
it had to offer. I was delighted to find
I am a student attending your University,
here at Cal State San Marcos. The reason
why I'm sending you this e-mail is because
I have heard that there are some disputes
regarding maintaining in the future University Hour. Since I have been attending classes at this university from the year
2002,1 am very much aware that the presence of University Hour has been creating
a better life on campus, as well as giving
a chance to students to observe performance events, while taking advantage of
free food opportunities. Furthermore, University Hour has been able to permit and
people and groups available at a time
where most people weren't in a rush. I
find college to be a busy place, full of
people hustling about to go on with their
own business, and I feel that University hour gives life to the campus and
a chance for students settle down for an
hour. I think by eliminating Universtiy
hour our school would loose a lot of life
and connection. Thank you for listening
to my concern.
Christy Curtis
allow students to participate more freely
to club events (since I also participate to
the Global Connections Org.), as well as
encourage more social interaction among
students. For these reasons, I hope that you
will listen to this e-mail in which I endorse
fully the presence of university hour on
campus, and I hope that it will continue to
be a part of my campus life (as well as of
other students).
Thank you for your time.
Roxana Righetti
University Hour provides oppurtunity to
students for inclusion in campus community
COMMUNITY: it's one of five
of the Cal State San Marcos core
values. One that LGBTA works
to fulfill through our shared
commitments to service, teamwork, and partnership. Some
people have stated that they don't
need University Hour, which is
fine. What I find troubling is the
assumption that everyone can do
without it. It seems as though
some of the privileged members of the student body take for
granted what it involves to build
community. In order to facilitate
the benefits of "community," time
must be set aside and collaborations nurtured in order to make
"teamwork and partnership" successful. Some of us aren't born
into positions of privilege. I have
seen this privilege lead to a selfcenteredness that contradicts
community.
Be it the color of our skin, ethnicity, our age, a disability, our
gender, or sexual orientation,
those without privilege may not
know of the resources readily
available to support them. LGBTA's role is to educate the student body, especially those who
are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies, about how to
find and use these resources. So,
LGBTA will take full advantage
of the opportunity to work with
other student organizations on
campus and create new partnerI
II
ships.
I would like to thank ASI for
their action on the behalf of student body for University Hour
- without it some of us wouldn't
know the benefits and advantages
of being in a community. Each
student I know on campus has a
busy schedule and finds it challenging to manage the demands
of learning, socializing, networking and planning for the future.
Rather than saying "University
*
I
Hour" is a waste of time or that
it has interrupted the norm, consider what that one hour does for
everyone. How unfortunate that
some students simply attend class
and leave campus. That single
hour provides a new opportunity to most of the student body
so they will not b e isolated from
the communal experience that
defines CSUSM.

�Jock Talk With Josh: Ladainian Tomlinson
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
Of late it seems
like
LaDainian
Tomlinson can't
do
anything
wrong. He is on
pace to break
the NFL regular
B season touchdown
record, and countless other records
by the end of his career. What you may not
know, however, is that this humble man is
capable of a number of other things that
he refuses to brag about, so let me do the
boasting for him.
LaDainian is a magician. He could actually start a play at quarterback, drop back,
throw the ball down field, and somehow
catch his own pass for a touchdown. He
might even be able to snap the ball and
kick his own extra point
LaDainian is an asset to team chemistry.
He has certainly made Phillip Rivers' job
a lot easier. He could probably even save
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, but I am sure he is like the rest of us
and doesn't want the world to be inhibited
by any more offspring than the two they
already created.
LaDainian is actually a multi-talented
athlete. He is thinking about entering the
Tour De France next year. He didn't consider entering while Lance Armstrong was
still active, because he didn't want to beat
Lance and cause any downslide in Lance's
efforts towards curing cancer.
LaDainian is a great scavenger. He
knows how to find even the smallest holes
in an opposing defense and then exploit it.
Give him a flash light and a compass and
he could find Osama Bin Laden before you
could say Tal in Taliban.
LaDainian is a conservationist. He
knows that the mo^t important part of the
game is in the second half, so he saves the
majority of his touchdowns for crunch
time. You know that hole in the O-zone?
Well, he could fix it if he wanted to, but
then A1 Gore wouldn't have a job, and L.T.
is pretty sure Gore can't fill in for him at
running back.
LaDainian is also a politician. He knows
that if one of his teammates screws up, he
shouldn't throw him under the bus because
he will likely need him in the future. In
2008, LaDainian would run for president,
but he doesn't want the Democrats and
Republicans to fight over which party he
should belong to. So, rather than creating a
further divide between the two parties, he
has chosen not to pull a Tiki Barber, and
has decided to continue dominating the
rest of the NFL.
LaDainian is an explorer. Jacques Cousteau had nothing on L.T. He is going
places that no other running back has ever
gone before. He has discovered a way for
humans to build a civilization on Mars,
but he also knows that aliens exist, and he
doesn't want to start an intergalactic war.
LaDainian is a detective in his spare time"
as well. He has solved even the toughest
defensive schemes in the NFL. He could
even rid the United States of all crime, but
then thousands of police officers would be
out of jobs.
LaDainian is a scientist on his off-days.
Photo illustration by David Gatley / The Pride
He has cooked up plays on how to score by
catching, running, and throwing the ball.
He» has also perfected cloning on human
beings, but the government wont allow
him to make it public, for fear that if L.T.
cloned himself then the world may implode
upon his greatness.
The only thing left for him to do is to
bring a Super Bowl championship to San
Diego, which from my experiences may
be the one thing thai no one can accomplish.

Apple Seed
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
The relatives have gathered under one roof, the turkey is
that delectable shade of golden brown, the cornbread stuffing smells like heaven, the candied yams are becoming deliciously intimate with the tiny marshmallows, the cranberry
sauce is the perfect consistency, the mashed potatoes have
been whipped into a frenzy, the fire is lit to ward off the cold
autumn chill in the a ir... Stop right there.
Who's to say it won't be a hot Southern California day
this Thanksgiving? What are you going to do with your
hot chocolate then? Hot apple cider? I don't think so. Then
what? What can the over 21 years old crowd refresh themselves with this holiday season? The answer, my dear reader,
lies in the Apple Seed.
No, I'm not talking about the tiny object jam-packed
with the miracle of life that was made so
famous by
Mr. Johnny Appleseed. I'm referring to
the beverage of the same name that
is jam-packed with the miracle of
flavor.
The Apple Seed is a merry
little drink made from 1 part Jose
Cuervo Especial Tequila, Vi. part
Crème de Cassis, 1 part apple juice, and
one teaspoon fresh lemon juice. The
warmth of the Tequila mixed with the
crisp, refreshingflavorof the apple juice
and the sweet hint of the syrupy currant liqueur that is the Crème de Cassis
delights the taste buds. Mixed in a Collins glass over ice and garnished with a
slice of crisp red apple, this bright garnet
of a drink is sure to be a hit at your holiday gathering.
