Building Efforts
The Temporary Loss of Cheer
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Vicor Mireles
The issue of insurance
has halted practice for the past
two months. As a result they were
forced to stop practicing and have
not done so for the past two
months. Coach Groom stated,
"Most colleges have cheerleading
liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could
not obtain insurance on their own
the Coach replied, "Three of the
coaches had offered to pay, but if
they did the program would inherit
the cost
of any liability."

Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North
County, has recently donated
$50,000 for the construction of
the new Library Information
Center at CSUSM. Conrique's
donation not only pushed the
university over the top of its
$2.5 million goal, the donation
was also doubled. Jean and W.
Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge
grant, had pledged to match
donations dollar-for-dollar up
to a $500,000 total.
Conrique, President of
Rancho Santa Fe Technologies,
is also a member of the Trust
Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee
made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM.
The Board is part of the driving
force for private funding of the
University Capital Campaign
and their efforts to raise money
for new facilities at CSUSM.
This is not the first donation
Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated
$50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him,
the program may not have
gotten out of the starting block,"
Fogerson said.
Conrique has also pledged
to donate an additional $50,000
to the construction of the M.

Student Union. Conrique's

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM
Sonia Gutierrez
PRIDE STAFF WRITER

On February 2, 2000,
the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester
with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The
Painted Hand." Salas's work
contrasts bright and dark colors
in a struggle against and toward
each hand in the series. Salas's
title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does
not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^
Acrylic hand paintings
in black woodenframesmake up
the Salas exhibition. The hands
in Salas's pieces communicate
through gestures, each with an
individualized tattoo.
The paintings depict a
range of hand gestures being
purposely positioned to take on
different meanings,fromthe left
and right hands clenching at the
fist, to open hands reaching out,
and to a hand grasping a red ball
with the word "rebote," which
translates to "rebound" in English. «.

tioned in a unique gesture with its
own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal
Arts major, commented on one of
her favorite pieces. Vina said, "I like
this hand because it seems like an
older hand. The hand has more life,
and it rests in supplication." The
hand intrigued me as well.

work goes deeper than the superficiality of a painted hand. Understanding each piece demands critical observation and an appreciation

Salas's sensitivity and desire as
a private and public artist developed
while growing up in a non-affluent
neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has
been my goal to improve the quality
of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically
to communities of people who are
unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the
well being of humanity are qualities
which earned his piece, "Dream,"

A positive" outlook for this
year's track season fuels the dedication
and determination of CSUSM's track
athletes. Willi over five months spent
training, track athletes have optimistic
attitudes and have set high goals for
themselves. Approximately twenty-five
students anticipate a season that will
lead them to national competition.
Returning cross-country champion,
Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at
the national level in the 1500-meter
race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles
at the national level. Heather Garritson
also plans on competing at the national
level, running distance races ranging
from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason
McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye
Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also
determined to qualify for national competition.
The team will face strong
competition in the Mt. SAC Relays.
Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as
a "fast track", often giving athletes an
opportunity to improve their marks in
magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks.
Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its
Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous
Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa
Pacific University will also prove to be
helpful in increasing marks, since it is
a "fast track" as well.
Although there are no current
plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track
this season, students are encouraged
to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton,
Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC),
Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British
Columbia (national competition) in
support of the team!

Disastrous Turnout for CSUSM's Tenth Anniversary Open House

CSUSM—the first annual Cougar
Chase. Because of our new track,
the university could host an event
such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk
or run.
Mazario Romaro, a San
Marcos resident, won the 5K
race. His running time was
14:55. When asked about the
race he said, "It was a fun course
and I loved the race." He said that
he could have run a longer race in
San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained
for the Cougar Chase by running

PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride
�Dear Editors:
Thank you for printing Ramon
Nava s letter. It is very important
to have this discussion about the
Tukwut. Our campus needs to
seriously question whether or not
it is performing an act of cultural
insensitivity.
?
If there is no guilt on the part
of our university, fine. Then only
an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in
the dark about the mascot's previous name.
However, if our university is
found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who
wanted the change in mascot,
why they wanted it, and how
they went about their agenda for
change. Most importantly, we
need to know why the wonderful,
culturally relevant story behind
the Tukwut was kept a secret
from the students both before
and during the election.
Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed
simply was not aware of the
Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't
they then be innocent? No, just
guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi.
y
If someone puts an issue on
the ballot without carefully
investigating its meaning and
history, then s/he is sloppy or
crafty. Either way, the person is
assuming that the students aren't
critical enough to eventually
realize what has been done.
Either way, they are assuming
that students will not hold them
accountable. Either way, they
are assuming that students will
not demand an explanation.
Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and
more like our state elections!
Remember Prop. 209?
There have been stories that
the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to
pronounce. I don't buy that. I
don't think pronouncing Tukwut
is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin
Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga

able to quickly get all the
resources we need from our huge
library's collection. No, I don't
think that Tukwut is too difficult
for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes
that it is too difficult for us is
greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard
floating around is that we had to
change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a
growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to
have Tukwut as our mascot. We
must change it to something
more marketable. That way we

Dear Editors:
From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community?
Dear Editors:
This university has become
known for its use of groups, such
as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the
minds and views of its students.
Additionally, the university also
promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender,
or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs
on campus. With the passing of
the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a
I am delighted to see that you
are speaking out about the torture
that occurs at CSUSM. I have
been a student enough years to
truly experience the meaning
behind CSUS&M. I have found it
very frustrating dealing with the
poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and
parking, that plague students
every day.
It has come to the point that I
will ask different people, who
work for CSUS&M, the same
question to attempt to get to the
truth. Usually the third time
around proves to be somewhat
correct. It is also a shame that the
administration at Cal State San
Marcos does not fully appreciate
and utilize the talented staff that
work for them. There are some of
the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could
easily improve things, and yet
they are not used.
I think it is time that the
administration realizes that what
students encounter on a daily
basis is ****. Without a good
interface with the student, there
might as well be no University at
all.
Keep up the good work. Keep
telling the truth.
Matt Thomas
Dear Editors:
The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that
there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn
or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to
achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about
the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the
professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each
other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through
with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is
too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand
new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in
the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms."

Dear Editors,
My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of
Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am
writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran
in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am
unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the
school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been
funny to some people, but is it really the message you want
to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM?
Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future
you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for
your school and not print such filth.
Respectfully Yours,

Dear Psyche Fairy,
How does one best express
intimacy with someone else?
Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is
only the beginning of the depths
of what I know to be inside me
for the object of my thoughts.
The feelings, longings,
desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the
person I hold dear would make
them, for lack of a better term,
happier about themselves.
To realize, for better or worse,
someone cared and wished only
the best, yet these declarations
may be overwhelming by the
sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I
believe we all withhold our true
selvesfromone another on many
levels in many ways, but would
hope somewhere, somehow to
make the connection - and make
it in a positive, meaningful, and
profound way. Give me a way, a
method, the words, for I am at a
loss and my beloved deserves
true kinship. Sign me,
"Sincerely Sincere"
Dear Sincerely Poetic,
I was greatly entranced by
your message, as I feel akin to
this experience of longing. I
doubt anyone can satisfactorily
answer your question, so I will be
bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there
qEfte ffirtbe
Arts & Entertainment
is one sole best way to express
intimacy. Not only do people
find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times,
intimacy can be appreciated in
different ways. This is what I like
to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans.
Finding that experience whereby
both (or more) can be absorbed in
the feeling of intimacy is quite
special and not easy to discover.
For instance, your loved one may
not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am
not talking about mere physical
affection and sex here. Even
words may fall on deaf ears
sometimes. Hie ultimate act of
intimacy is to understand the
other in their place at that
moment. Just knowing that the
other is not open to that intimacy
at that time is an act of intimacy
on your part.
Words are contrived, but what
isn't? Words are symbolic and
since our minds are representational, words can be a great
means to achieving an end. Even
when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the
people to see it as such. We are
frequently mistaken to assume
that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star,
sex is a job; for a writer, words
can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a
chef, cooking is a profession. It is
the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate.
Here again, you must think of the
other: does the person resemble
the adorer of Cyrano or Annie
Sprinkle. Some people are more
affected by words than others
and you need to know this to
know if words will be effective.
Actions can also be powerfully
intimate. I have had friends do
little things/favors for me (from
their own volition) which I found
incredibly intimate, especially
when the favor arrives at just the
right moment. These actions can
be deeply intimate. Find out
these things and perhaps you can
express your intimacy in that
way. If the other is open and
experimental enough, you may
approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the
person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if
you can both devise a way to put
each other "in the mood." This
may likewise be contrived, but it
might just work!
You might be thinking that
some of these "methods" seem
too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that
will be mostly true. You see, I
understand your desire to commune with someone in such a
way that your experiences meld
into one. As if you were the
same, sharing perspectives,
thoughts, and emotions. Oh how
I wish this could be true! Sadly,
our ability to imagine beyond our
capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this
is the connection that you wish
for, I can say it will exist mostly
in your imagination. Our
thoughts are usually fragmented

Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone
Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work
saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl
Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy
endings, Mumford works.
The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of
us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients
troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him
the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to
know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time
lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous
modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves
with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the
viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling
secrets is what being human is all about.
Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not
one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a
stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo.
More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by
Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace
with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include
Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother.
The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a
shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other
problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive
story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way
to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless,
I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night.

...Such is the advice of Mary
Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional
Computing Labs Coordinator.
Computing is an essential of
scholarship at this university,
though when a paper is due in 15
minutes, the computer cannot
read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy
to feel like life itself hangs in the
balance. Being acquainted with
the computing labs may offset
this stress and save your grades.
According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and
when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing
safety.
Often students visit the main
computer lab in ACD 202, see
that all of these computers are
taken, and walk away. They do
not realizing that the nearly 100
computers in ACD 202 and ACD

Have you ever had someone in
your life that you looked up to?
Someone who encouraged you
when you were feeling not your
best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but
heads you down the right road to
finding them? Someone who is
present when you need them, if
only to sit and chat, or do nothing
at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my
life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia
Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced
MET-TOY-YAY, its French).
As part of the Faculty
Mentoring Program here at
CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a
mentor to many students since
coming on board in 1994. She
was initially recruited by two of

her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural
mentoring relationship that had
begun between them, they
requested that she become part of
the formal program. Dr. Metoyer
agreed and has been doing it ever
since. Each semester, students
who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor.
Throughout the school year the
relationship may take on many
different characteristics. Some
proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement,
some for counseling and support,
and still others develop friendships that continue well after
graduating, from CSUSM.
Currently there are 67 mentors

events, lectures, and social gatherings for the mentors and proteges to attend.
In Greek mythology, Mentor
was Odysseus' trusted friend and
counselor, and his son
Telemachus' teacher, advisor,
and surrogate father. He provided
the boy with guidance, support
and love. The mentoring program
here at CSUSM believes that
mentors are an important factor in
the student's success. Designed to

When you hear the words
"Greek Life," what images come
to mind? Do you picture scenes
from "Animal House," like John
Belushi in a toga, chugging a
beer? Or are you completely
oblivious to fraternities and
couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you
should be a little curious because
members of these clubs may be
your close friends, students in
your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that
Troy Aikman and President
William McKinley were Sigma
Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that
Elvis and Ronald Reagan were
Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers?
Here on campus the presence of
Greek organizations, academic
and social, are steadily growing
and attracting many students.
American students were the
creators of the first Greek-Letter
Fraternities. It all began when the
Declaration of Independence was
introduced to America in 1776.
Revolutionary ideas began to
spread like wildfire across
America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because
of British rule, such discussions
were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss
revolutionary ideas in secrecy.
Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes.
Centuries have passed, and now
the numbers of fraternities have
spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S.
and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi
National Manual).
Of the 60 colleges in the U.S.
and Canada, CSUSM is one of the
campuses that have academic and
social Greek organizations. The
academic honor societies deal
with students who have excelled
in areas that deal with their
majors. For example, PSI CHI,

Another benefit that men find
when they join a fraternity is networking. "That's one of the things
that impresses people about joining a fraternity. Career connections," says Dean Manship, president of SAE. Dean has obtained
two jobs through networking in
the year-and-a-half that h^ has
been in SAE. Companies like
Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have
presidents and CEOs* who were
fraternity brothers. As a result,
many of the present members can
benefit by acquiring well paying
jobs when they join fraternities.

.
It i$ no secret that there are
stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example,
fraternity members may be
referred to as "party animals,"
"keggers," or have other labels.
However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha
Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa
Epsilon (TKE) are two of the
social fraternities on campus that
promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the
primary reasons men join SAE
and TKE on campus are for the
friendships. Many people enter
CSUSM not knowing anyone. So
SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit
incoming freshmen and other
men to join their fraternities. For
example, Charles Matanane, a
sophomore, has been a member of
SAE for two years and says,
"When I came here, I didn't know
much of anybody, now I've got 50
people that I know." Juan
"Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE
for two years and recalls when the
TKEs introduced themselves to
him as a freshman: "TKEs
seemed excited about me, really
friendly, really outgoing, but they
also stressed a lot of brotherhood.
I saw what they did, I saw how
close they were to each other, and
I really liked that whole family
thing."

Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this
film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned
out to be everything you would be
looking for in a yuppie movie and
nothing that truly captures, for
me, the emotions of a time period.
Based on a true story, Lucie
Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap
opera history lesson of World War
II France. Fans of French film
might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed
such films as Germinal, Jean de
Florette, and Manon des Sources
(Manon of the Springs). With
Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil
('Raymond'), who had played
Ugolin in Jean de Florette and
Manon des Sources. But how can
a film based on one woman's
autobiographical account go so
wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the
stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is
based on a true story but for the
purpose of dramatic effect, da, da,
da, certain liberties have been
taken, or something like that.
I call it a yuppie film because
it's a little bit more than a Date
Movie in that it contains noble
elements that both guys and
chicks would totally appreciate.
The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a
spectacular explosion and ends
with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the
ending for you, but it's as if Berri
hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go
around, to be sure, that would
entice any movie fan out th^re.
But jumping out of your seat and
racing to, the door for sprpe fresh

wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may
find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing.

speak of the internal state of
affairs. To commune so deeply,
you'd have to bring all of this in
not one, but TWO brains, into harmony. This discussion then
becomes entirely philosophical
and I won't go there now.
So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in
synchrony" with the other, but that
is about as amazing as it gets. We
are limited, always. (Some people
go into trances/rituals or use drugs
to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise
your limitations because there is
nothing you can really do about it.
You need to try to work with those
limits and find out how you can
best stimulate that synchrony of
thought and emotion between you
and your loved one. There isn't a
specific formula; it depends on the
person AND the time whether
intimacy will be found in actions,
conversations, or kisses. Finding
this will reside in understanding
the person. This lucky person for
whom you care so deeply must be
understood as (s)he is in that
moment. This will take great
awareness, compassion, and
openness. My sincerest hopes go

president of SAE, Dean also
says, "We need to look good on
campus, because right off the bat
a lot of people have negative
stereotypes about fraternities."
Many fraternities have been
viewed as negative institutions in
the past. News coverage of Scott
Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September
because of alcohol poisoning
when he rushed the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity, brought much
controversy. Even though SAE
and TKE say that hazing does not
occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social
fraternity life is a problem. One
TKE brother admits that there
may be members who could work
on their maturity level and that
they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of
the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the
brotherhood and philanthropy
that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If
you go into any group of guys,
you're going to have a few you're
not going to like. But to knock
down the whole fraternity
because of one person just isn't
right," says Mike.
The fraternity members do
admit that they party,' they are
social organizations, but they also
say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like
the community work they do.
TKE brother, Mike, says that his
favorite TKE volunteer activity is
"I'm Going To College," an event
that takes place every semester
with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across
San Diego County have the
chance to visit the University
campus. Last year the kids played
with the computers, sat in police
cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other
activities. The whole goal is for
these children to catch a glimpse
into college life, in hopes that
they will take the initiative and go
to college when they are older.
The TKEs also helped out with
Special Olympics and the "Child
Trot." SAE has also done its
share of community service, like
tutoring at a charter school in
Oceanside, canned-food drives
for the holidays, holding book
bags every year for the Campus
Book Store, and fundraisers for
St. Claire's Battered Women's
Shelter in Escondido. Some of

It turns out that there may be
