ASI Early Learning Center (ELC). ASI currently subsidizes the ELC, however the grants would help alleviate costs to run the center and would be used to pay for teachers' salaries. The ELC is a childcare program for children two to five years old, and provides care for the children of CSUSM students, faculty, staff, and the community. At the board meeting, Gonzalez told of the need for a site supervisor for the ELC. The supervisor would teach in classroom 3, the preschool class, and would relieve some of the teachers. The site supervisor would also serve as a sounding board for ELC teachers and adult volunteers, and work in conjunction with Joyce Williams, ELC Program Director. The ELC supervisor should have a master's degree in human or child development, be an expert in curriculum and counseling, and have early childhood education units. The board plans to pay the site supervisor with the money that would have gone to an ELC teacher who left the center. Gonzalez also announced the need for an independent contractor to assess the ELC. The contractor would assess curriculum, staffing, and the finance of the center. The costs for the assessment report, travel costs, consultation, and future contact with the contractor would be $3,000. There is the hope among the board that the ELC will move on campus in a few years, with plans and a building layout already in progress. ELC tuition may change, according to an ELC rep. Currently CSUSM students pay either $22 or $15 a day for ELC tuition, depending on a fullday program or part- day program for their child. CSUSM faculty and staff pay either $25 or $27 per day, and community members pay $27 or $18 per day for tuition. For The Pride Faculty members at all 22 Cal State campuses are threatening a strike if current talks with administrators do not yield a new contract. "I think it's highly likely that we will strike," said George Diehr, a Cal State San Marcos faculty member and member of the faculty's bargaining team. "There's been no effort to bargain productively or in good faith." The California Faculty Association and the Cal State administration have been in negotiations since last April, and have yet to come to an agreement for the faculty's next threeyear contract. Two weeks after the current contract expired on June 30, the Public Employees Relations Board declared in impasse in the bargaining. Both sides are engaging in meetings with a mediator that could last through October. The California Faculty Association bargains for all 22,000 Cal State faculty in the state. Cal State San Marcos has about 150 faculty union members, and 374 total full- and part-time faculty. The faculty is asking for a 5.7 percent average salary increase, including a 3 percent increase across the board, Diehr Sundance AwardWinning Film Director Comes to GSUSM By VICTORIA B.

They are also seeking more compensation for part-time faculty, extended contracts for parttime faculty, equal pay for teaching during the summer, and the hiring of more full-time faculty. The Cal State administration claims the governor and state legislature determine its budget, including salary increases, and that it is not able to meet the faculty's demands. "The governor gave us a 2 percent package," said Mary Elizabeth Stivers, Cal State San Marcos Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and a member, of the administration's bargaining team. "We say, the governor gave us 2 percent, and that's what we're giving."

By JENNIFER HOLMES and DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writers As rescue teams in New York City and Washington D.C. continue to work around the clock to recover and rescue victims, several CSUSM clubs have come together to show their remorse and support for individuals suffering from the Sept 11 tragedy. During last week's Business Expo/Club Fundraising events, organizations including the Anime Project Alliance, Sigma Iota Epsilon, and the Victorious Club coordinated a flower drive on Wednesday and Thursday to raise money. They purchased approximately 75 roses and 70 Times Disaster Relief Fund, which will match $.50 on the dollar, according to another coordinator, Chris Donahue of Sigma Iota Epsilon, which is an honorary management fraternity. "If other clubs want to donate flowers or help maintain the booth, we welcome them," said Donahue. "They are also encouraged to donate by purchasing flowers from the booth."

If the mediation process does not yield a new contract, both sides enter into factfinding - one representative from each side and an outside arbitrator will comb through the issues and make a recommendation. If a compromise is not reached after the factfinding report is released at the end of this semester, Diehr said the faculty would strike. Cal State administrators say they are not sure at what point the administration would give in should there be a strike. "It's hard to say," Stivers said. "If 90 percent of the faculty go on strike, we would then talk about how to resolve this." Last year, faculty at universities in Hawaii went on strike for two weeks before the administration settled on a contract. If a university is closed for more than two" weeks, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges will not count the semester for accreditation purposes. During the strike, the Hawaiian faculty union said it was willing to sponsor student lawsuits to gain their units back if the semester was thrown out. Cal State faculty has never gone on strike before, and Stivers said she hopes the situation does not come down to that. "I am hopeful that we can resolve this before it gets to that point," she said. "In the end, the people most affected by a strike are the students." Diehr said whether or not there is a strike is up to the administration, noting that the chancellor has imposed his own deal twice before when negotiations where at an impasse. "They don't believe we will strike, therefore they don't bargain," Diehr said. "Ergo, we have to strike." If the faculty do strike, it will happen sometime during the spring semester, after all the state-mandated bargaining meetings have taken place. S tudents!

On Monday morning, Sept. 17, after a four-day closure, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reopened with a symbolic and humble beginning. New York Emergency and Fire Rescue workers rang the opening bell, signifying the start of trading. After pausing for a two-minute moment of silence before the market's opening, Richard Grasso, Chairman of the NYSE, said, "This couldn't have happened without them . .. Our heroes will now open the market place." The sound of the bell was almost muted by the applause of the crowd. After an initial plummet, the market stabilized briefly. At the end of Monday's trading, the market showed signs of strength. Other than drastic drops in insurance, airline, and financial service markets, it was a relatively average day on Wall Street. As more information throughout the week pointed to the United States moving toward war, stocks continued to fall and trading ended on Friday with the worst one-week drop since July of 1933, during the Great Depression. The Dow Jones fell 14.2 percent or almost 1,370 points, equaling approximately $1.4 trillion in market value losses. "Fear was stronger than greed," commented Beatrice Black for National Public Radio's ( NPR) Market Place, s umming u p the feelings around Wall Street. The mood in New York's financial district was one of uncertainty. "Anyone who bought yesterday looks like a moron today. And if you buy today, you're worried about looking like an idiot tomorrow. The likelihood of looking like an idiot next week is quite high," said Dominic Freud, of European stocks at S.G. Cowan in New York, during an interview o n N PR's Market Place. Although there is an air of fear permeating the market, the travel industry, including airlines and hotels, is taking the brunt of the losses. American and TWA have both halted meal services in an attempt to save money. 75,000 airline jobs have been cut across the board. The New York City hotel industry is reporting a 45 percent capacity, rather than the seasonal 75 percent. And, hitting closer to home, Tijuana's downtown sector of three to five-star hotels report 90 percent of their reservations have been cancelled due to border and travel problems, according to Judy Martin during an interview on NPR. Congress has agreed on an immediate expenditure of $5 billion to help bolster the airline industry, with a promise for $10 billion in loan guarantees. This is an attempt to reestablish public confidence and help to return the United States to a sense of normalcy. Bill Nelson, D. Senator of Florida, said returning the airline industry to normalcy is a "very essential first step" on the road to economic recovery. In spite of the negative circumstances in financial areas around the country, many investors said they believe that the market will bounce backh and the drop in stock prices could actually be a golden opportunity for some beginning investors. Looking at past domestic disasters, the drop in market value following the incidents lasted for a short time and then rose to even higher levels, mirroring consumer Confidence. "We've suffered a direct economic impact, but the ripple effect is troubling," said Hilary Rodham Clinton, a D. Senator of New York, during a CNN interview Friday morning. Rodham Clinton said that people around the country need to keep going, and should not withdraw from their everyday activities. In an attempt to alleviate some of the ripple effect she said, "we need to tend to everyday business . .. live our lives." Second Forum Held at GSUSM t o Discuss Terrorism Attacks »Article cont.from pg. 1 a member of the American Council on Education Fellow, spoke on media and terrorism. "If we give up our civil liberties then the terrorists have won," said Dr. Bethami Dobkin. Student Darren Marks, a senior and member of the student organization, Young Americans for Freedom, agreed with Dobkin's statement about not allowing the terrorists to "win" by giving up civil liberties. "I will guarantee you that this type of terrorism will happen again in the future," he said. Another student representative, Ricardo Favela, from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.,), also spoke Thursday afternoon. Favela and fellow student Isabel Soliz set up an altar last week as part of an independent study on Founders' Plaza in remembrance of those that lost their lives in the attacks. Panel members also discussed the racism and violence - towards Muslims, and people of Arab descent. Other professors on the panel included: Farid Mahdavi and Patty Seleski, history professors, Susie Cassel, literature and writing and ethnic studies professor, Liliana Rossman, communication professor, Peter Zwick, Director of University Global Affairs, Staci Beavers, political science professor, Wesley Schultz, psychology professor, and Don Barrett, sociology professor. Tuesday, September 25,2001 3 Graduation Open Forum in the Works Robert McArdle, his children, and a fellow student helped chalk the CSUSM stairs. (Pride Photo/Melanie Addington) By STEPHANIE BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Students will notice a bit more color on campus in the next few weeks, due to a group of graduating seniors who are chalking the steps around the university to demonstrate their unhappiness with the university's decision to hold this year's commencement off campus. The group of students, led by Robert McArdle, a senior and liberal studies major, began chalking the steps leading down to the first floor of Craven Hall, near the flag pole. "Seniors unite," is now the colorful message that welcomes individuals as they walk up the steps. "We want to bring student awareness to the administration's decision to move graduation off campus," said McArdle. "We're letting student voices be heard, when administration should have done it in the first place." The seniors working with McArdle include Bryan Clark, Beverly Huss, Alicia Mendivil, and James Tellez. They have organized a graduation open forum for students that will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the steps of Founders' Plaza, outside of Academic Hall 102. McArdle announced the upcoming forum during the ASI Board of Director's meeting on Friday. The open forum will be a place for students to discuss their thoughts, complaints, and suggestions concerning the graduation ceremonies, according to McArdle. Students will have the opportunity to voice their opinion and create awareness for the entire campus about the current graduation plans. We're hitting seniors first because it (graduation) will hit them first," said McArdle. "We have administrators who said they'd come to the forum, along with the Assistant to the President, Student and Residential Life, ASI." The students are trying to find more sponsors for their cause. They presently have the Future Educators Club as a direct sponsor for the graduation forum. McArdle said that he recently sent out 5,704 e-mails to students and faculty announcing the need for a graduation open forum and received 2,166 responses. "I got tons of support. Out of the 2,166 e-mails I got back, only three were negative," said McArdle. "In half of those e-mails, I got people who thought graduation was still at Palomar." Commencement 2001-2002 will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Robert McArdle at mcard001@csusm.edu. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." —Henry David Thoreau mm m were 100 movies a year with Indians," said Eyre. "And John Forbes was one of the most detrimental things to happen to Indians," said Eyre, who described Forbes' earlier movies, like 1939's "Stagecoach," as portraying Native Americans with no culture. Eyre described Forbes' 1964 film, "Cheyenne Autumn," however, as the redemption movie. "He took back his portrayal of Indians," said Eyre. Eyre, who is originally from Klamath Falls, Oregon, said he got involved with photography before he began working with film. "I never intended to work with actors," said Eyre. "I never thought about the representation of Native-Americans when I was growing up. Eyre also reflected on the recent attack in New York City and Washington, D.C. "It gives generations behind mine, in their 20s, a cause. Because this could last 10 years, or more. There could be a legacy beyond that. If you jsaw what happened if it hit you between the eyes, don't miss the point. That's a generational calling. Have love for each other." Eyre also said he hopes to work on a movie based on the life of Leonard Peltier, an Anishinabe-Lakota Indian, who is considered a political prisoner by Amnesty International. "It's been on the table for about three years now," said Eyre. "But nobody's stepping up to the plate. There's no marquee Indian actor." Students also asked how Eyre competes with more highbudgeted films with special effects, a contrast to Eyre's "home dramas," as he described them, and his films, like "Skins," which cost $2.5 million to film. "I read somewhere that when no one's looking, you can make a good movie," said Eyre. "So I make small movies and something that's meaningful to me." • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i C % r • 1 R mI l e r n l lc t lei 1 1 9 e r I I m mV nt Wo m I ll 2 002 Planning Need • • S tudent R epresentatives • -Logistics Committee • -Program Committee • -Reception/Open House Committee • i i a • ! • • J a J If you are interested in serving, please complete an application in the Associated a Students, inc. office, Commons 203.

Reminded that I had to write a review, I reluctantly sank back into the padded chair. Disappointed, I turned the page on my notepad and began doodling. A flash from the movie screen called for my attention. There stood Edward Norton. He began to stumble down the brick-layered Montreal street, voluntarily shaking, head cocked to one side. My d isappointment quickly turned to interest. Frank Oz, who in the past has concentrated on some memorable comedies, including "What About Bob?," decided to play it safe with his first thriller, "The Score," using a plot soiled and washed so many times, the color has faded. "The Score" may have scored enough points to keep the game interesting by providing some sparks and suspense in the final scenes, but when the game ended, Edward Norton was left empty handed, scratching his head (don't worry Edward, you weren't the only one). Norton's performance wasn't the reason "The Score" fell short, but rather it was an over-used game plan. Even though Oz recruited an all-star cast including Robert Dinero (Nick), Edward Norton (Jack/ Brian), Marlon Brando (Matf), and Angela Bassett (Diane), how did he expect his team to win when the opposition (audience) knew their every move? He couldn't. Nick and Brian both work for Max, a shameless man who uses self-pity and whining to keep Nick active. Max needs Nick, a polished jewel thief, to take one last job. Max coordi- nates an easy plan (easy because he makes the plan), using Nick and Brian to retrieve an ancient scepter held i n. the Montreal Custom's House that is worth millions and will solve everyone's problems. Max can pay off his debts and, in return, live. Nick, who usually abandons a job at the slightest insecure feeling, commits anyway. He wants to pay off his lazy jazz club and marry his girlfriend Diana (Bassett). Jack will establish himself in the jewelry thief business and make more money than he can spend. It's a win-win situation for everyone, almost. The highlight of the movie is Brian, Edward Norton's character in the film. Brian is a mentally challenged person who takes advantage of everyone around him at the Custom's House, where he works as a janitor. Norton's previous roles, including a racist, hatred-filled turned compassionate character in "American History X" and a split personality in "Primal Fear," have established him as a premier actor. The final heist in "The Score" goes down in a suspenseful yet abusive fashion; only one thief escapes with the treasure. The assortment of equipment Nick uses to complete the heist compared in length to the minutes the movie ran: too many. Nick pulled out gadget after gadget from his bottomless sack. "The Score" did show one original quality; much of the movie focused on the preparation for the heist, which made for some stagnant scenes, doing more harm than good. When Nick and Jack actually performed the heist, I already knew what to expect. Confused, I didn't know whether to feel cheated, or lucky to receive twice the value of admission. Frank Oz may have failed in his first try at a thriller, but he shouldn't get discouraged. Moviegoers are very forgiving. Frank, don't settle on your favorite .hand-me-down shirt, you already know how it's going to feel when you put it on. Take a chance with a new shirt, one you alone picked out. Take it home and wear it. which also sponsors "La Paz Tras el Cerco," or "Peace under Siege," a photography exhibit in the Library Gallery. The exhibit, which opened Sept. 5, is a collection of photographs portraying images of violence and unrest in Mexico.

Well, besides completely satisfying the typical movie-going American audience, you create "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation." Why spend eight bucks to sit through Hollywood's latest plot-deficient pathetic excuse for entertainment, when you can take that same wad of cash and witness pure (but not innocent) animated comedy with the sick and twisted features we all secretly desire. "This year wasn't the best," said Farrida Castro, who attended the festival. "On a scale from one to 10, I give it a seven. But they showed 'Rejected,' one of my all-time favorites." When a few handwritten words appeared on the screen, you could feel the audiences' hopeful anticipation as everyone shifted themselves to the edge of their seats. The words read: "A bitter cartoon," by Don Hertzfeldt. People behind me were giving high-fives as they knew what was to come; just then the image on-screen switched to one sloppy handwritten title: "Rejected." Half of the audience jumped out of their chairs, cheered, hooted, and laughed, and that was just the title. Feeling like friends at a bachelor party when the huge papier-mache cake is brought out, the other half of the audience and I knew we were in for a real treat. Stick-figure animation, con- versation bubbles and cheesy elevator music, cooked together with a few clever lines of harsh relationship-ending cliches and low-tech violence made for about the most hilarious two minutes of my life. "No Neck Joe" was another crowd-pleaser, this time starring a young Joe who,, unsurprisingly, has no neck. These 30-second cartoons sporadically placed throughout the festival have such titles as "Joe Go.es Star-Gazing" and "First Hickey." But these are definitely not why this festival boasts "Sick and Twisted" in its name. The majority of these animations have graphic and disturbing violence, such as heads ripping off, or mutilation by rabid animals. A nine-minute animation set in a fancy Italian restaurant, involved several characters shooting vomit into each other's mouths, while waiters tried to drain the building by hand so the puke wouldn't overflow into the streets - that was disgustingly hilarious. There was even a sick and twisted sexual parody of a typical preschool book, where audiences can "See Spot Run," and "Watch Spot Hump Jane." In 1977, Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble collaborated to promote underground bands including their own "Sterno & the Flames." To make ends meet, they occasionally held all-night horror-a-thons, showed classic rock 'n roll films like "Jimmy Plays Berkeley" and "Quadraphenia," and premiered original short animations like "Bambi meets Godzilla," which soon developed into a cult favor- ite. Spike and Mike soon realized the potential in this previously untouched entertainment genre, and embarked on one of America's greatest forms of entertainment when they created Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. The annual Animation Festival began in 1990 and is growing more popular every year, despite the unfortunate death of Mike Gribble in 1992. The festival is not only a great form of alternative entertainment, but has also spawned some of America's most famous animation superstars, such as Beavis and Butthead. As for Comedy Central's hit matureaudience cartoon, South Park, well, that too started at the Sick and Twisted Animation Festival. It is home to "Spirit of Christmas," the original, uncensored South Park cartoon by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. If you're one of the thousands that still cry when Bambi's mom is shot, avoid this festival; but if Disney's tear-jerking sagas failed to touch your heart, then this version is going to smack your funny bone. The Sick and Twisted Festival will play in different parts of San Diego until Nov. 17. Call Landmark's Ken Cinema at (619) 283-5909 for show times, contact Ticket Master, or get all the information, plus other sick and twisted animations on-line at www.spikeandmike.com. Tickets are $6.75 or $8 dollars, depending on if you remember to bring your student ID for the discount. �Ever since the tragic events of Tuesday, Sept. 11, our world has changed. Not only on the grand scale of military action and how we view our freedom, but also on our campus. The anguish felt around the nation is felt here, as is the anxious guessing of what will happen next. Those feelings have sparked a lively debate in and out of our classrooms. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what the United States' next move should be - either to bomb the smithereens out of the Middle East or to peacefully do nothing and avert nuclear war. Others are blaming Arab Americans and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

By RICHARD SAUNDERS F o r The Pride There is a country that stands tall and true, And guess what America that country is you. Mysterious knowledge of the past you mask. I have just a couple of questions to ask. Where is Chandra Levy? Is she alive and well? That's the wrong question. Is Condit going to hell? Gary Condit says that there is an explanation... "I didn't do it. Vote for me in the next election, I'll put an end to this violence that is clearly bad, And get rid of.. .uh.. .end all the problems you've had." If his nose gets any longer he'll still be a toy, Tell the truth Condit and you'll be a real boy. Where is our president? Oh he's back from vacation? Oh he went to Texas for some peace and relaxation. One question to ask him to get him The Pride C o-Editor C o-Editor .

How did someone get enough money together to pay for the attacks on Sept. 11? Throughout Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has many "charities" to which wealthy Saudi businessmen contribute millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Oil. OPEC, of which Saudi Arabia is the primary organizer, is our main source of oil. Every time you turn on a light switch, cook a meal, pave an asphalt road, and run your car, you are putting money into bin Laden's pocket. What can we do? Stop buying oil from nations like Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not spent the money on her people or land. Our money is not being spent on helping a country thrive; it's being spent on threatening our lives. Who can we call on to change this? Contact your representatives, senators, and local officials. We shouldn't have to pay to be terrorized, yet that is exactly what is going on. (To read the full essay with supporting references, go to http:// home.earthlinkjiet/~firerock/) E.A. Jensen Santa Monica Correction During the tragedy of the WTC and Pentagon terrorist attacks, I made an unfortunate mistake. I had received a wonderful forward, from many friends, of a prayer. As a result, like I do with all forwards, I cut the text from that message and sent it as a new message to many of my friends. Seeing as I had also received e-mail from The Pride, I decided to place that e-mail address on the list. I had hoped that it would be placed in the school publication as an e-mail that had been sent out as a reaction to the terrorist attacks. However it was published as if I had been the author of that prayer. I am sorry for the confusion and wish that I knew who the true author of the prayer was so that s/he could receive credit. I thank my family in New York for sending me the e-mail, and I also thank The Pride for sharing the e-mail with the rest of the student body and faculty that read The Pride. I feel that the more people that read this prayer the better; however^ I in no way mean to take credit away from the true author of the letter. Megan Crea Letters to the Editors Praise and Condemn? In this time of national tragedy and grief that American citizens everywhere are sharing, I am writing this letter to you to voice my shame in The Pride. In the article "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy," the authors are blatantly finger-pointing and showing an irreverence to fellow student's emotions. While it may be true that many students needed silence for reflection and prayer, it is also important to consider that other students deal with their emotions differently. While some students were trying to deal with the sheer shock of the events that were unfolding, others were angered and their anger was finding a cathartic route through music. How can the authors praise some students, and yet, condemn others for the way they chose to come to grips with the reality of our situation? The job of journalists is to present news in a professional and unbiased manner to allow for the reader to come to their own conclusions. The media is powerful and has the means to shape readers views and opinions. Please do not abuse this power by promoting discord among our students, especially in a time that calls for unity, understanding and the freedom of expression among Americans.

Bill Holmes �The Pride __ Opinion Tuesday, September 25, 2001 7 The Critical Thinking Cliche Battle of the Sexes By JOSEPH SANCHEZ For The Pride At first it amused me, but then the steady bombardment of it began to upset me. In spite of all the talk, the implications were clear: CSUSM only uses the term "Critical Thinking" as a cliche. I sat through class after class, listening to professor after professor solemnly pontificate about the importance of critical thinking, and how that was one of the central goals of their class, "I want to help you think critically about these important subjects, etc, etc." Haven't we all heard this, or is this only the mantra of the humanities department? The joke being of course that we have no philosophy department! We have only two philosophy professors, and one of them was hired just this year. As I pondered this humorous state of affairs, I realized that there might be more than just bureaucracy involved. After all, didn't one of my Lit professors respond to a claim that he was contradicting himself with," It's postmodernism, it doesn't have to be logical." Now the term critical thinking does not imply that an argument need only have logical coherence, but logic is an important, possibly foundational, part of it. If postmodernists have reinvented the wheel (or questioned its existence), then why do they keep the term? Because it empowers them with the illusion of being real critical thinkers when in fact they are just ideological peddlers. The problem is real. Take for example the lack of critical thinking over abortion. The real issue involved is not the right of a woman to her own body, nor is it the moral problem with murder. Both sides, I think, have basic agreement in regard to those issues. The real issue is what defines a human life? Instead of engaging each other over this question each side prefers to ridicule the other. By claiming that women's rights are at stake, ProChoice thinkers create a false dichotomy in which they are the enlightened humanitarians and Pro-Choicer thinkers are backwards Neanderthals wishing only to subjugate women. Similarly, Pro-Choice thinkers distance others with psychologically devastating claims about murder and holocaust. Both of these claims are only potentially true. They become true if and only when the unborn fetus is proven to be either human or not human. This is where they should be engaging each other. This does not necessarily imply that our society is hopelessly irrational. I simply used this as a common illustration that we can all relate to. Change Payment Plan to Avoid Making Students Angry and Frustrated By CONSTANCE CHUA Pride Staff Writer The time has arrived and here we are in a new semester. Looking forward to meeting new friends and having a smooth transition from last semester to this semester? I hope you had a nice summef break that will give you enough energy to fight for your rights. As a senior here at California State University San Marcos, I was very prepared to register on tiijie to take all my required classes to graduate. I registered some time in May of 2001 or June of 2001 and got my entire schedule set for my school and work. When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at Cal State University San Marcos. The reason for that is because someone suggested to whomever is in charge with changing our payment options, that it would be better if they received funds 10 days after a student registers for classes. From a business perspective, when you buy something you normally get something out of it, which is understandable. Which means, if we register we should pay our registration fees. However, there should be some kind of set guideline that is convenient for students, such as making sure that if they have a loan, their payment will be deferred, or make them pay as soon as they attend classes. What I mean is that many student that I have talked to at the very beginning of the school semester had to crash all of their classes due to their classes being cancelled by the Admissions Office for not paying within 10 days of registration. But for those of us who are graduating, it might be difficult to just crash a class in order to fit our schedules. On exactly Aug. 21, 2001 2 p.m. in the afternoon, I met with my close friend, Patrice Labao here at school to get ahead with the semester and buy a parking permit and books. When I came to the bookstore ready to buy a book and punch in my Student ID number along with my code, the computer screen read, "you are not registered." "When a schedule is set normally it would make a person's life easier, but not in this case here at CSUSM.'9 I started to panic and hyperventilate. I felt a little mad, to slightly describe it, blood rushing to my head, and I had a major migraine. I rushed to the Admissions Office and asked about my status within this University. I spoke with a young woman and she stated, "Well, we dropped your classes because we did not receive your payment on time." I responded, "I have a student loan here at Cal State and I have been attending this University a little over four years and I have always had a deferred payment." And she responded, "Why don't you check with the Financial Aid Office because it looks like they needed some information from you." I was very frustrated. I felt like I was betrayed iand neglected. I stood in line for about 10 minutes until I spoke with a lady name Hedy. She was a very nice lady and was very helpful and told me that she needed more paperwork from me. I didn't want to be angry with her because it was not her fault that this happened to me. But as I can recall in the previous semesters, if the Financial Aid Office needed some information from me, then they would mail me a letter informing me that they needed additional information. However, they cancelled my registration as of July 10, 2001 without notifying me. Not only did it create animosity towards the students and staff, but also towards students and Cal State's systematic way of doing things. Furthermore, as soon as I got signatures from the classes that I crashed, the Admissions Office had the audacity to impose a $25 late registration fee. I urge all students who have or have had the similar situation as I have to please question our system. We are talking about our money here. We all should carefully examine fees that are imposed in our registration payment. I suggest that you look at your printout very carefully and see how many types of recreational fees they imposed. We, the students here at California State University San Marcos can make a difference, but we all have to do something about it now. This week: Why don't some guys talk after sex instead of just falling asleep? Battled by JUSTIN ANDREWS and KIMBOYARSKI Justin: Think about what happens when you're "doing it": frictional sensations pulsating through thousands of nerves, and your muscle contracting and dilating over and over again, all while an overdose of serotonin flows through your body like Johnny Raver with a sack of candy. I don't expect you to understand, but believe me, after a long day in the brush, a nap is more than called for. Plus, we have to call in the troops before they can go into battle, and sustaining those troops takes a different kind of flow than Uncle Sam's wallet. a pleasant breather since the estrogen dam gave way).

Orfalea voiced his desire to donate a child care center to California State University San Marcos in visits with campus dignitaries and reporters. "That's my cause," Orfalea stated, and also noted that he has donated child care centers to other colleges and universities, Orfalea likes to think that it was his ability to notice what others overlooked, or not bothered to understand, that has given him the edge in business. Orfalea has built a small student-service copy center into a chain of more than one thousand stores located around the world. After years of heading Kinko's, Paul Orfalea says he is ready to hang up his CEO hat, and share his hard won success with others.

Some teach at as many as four institutions in a single week. They are sometimes called "freewayflyers"because they spend so much time traveling between jobs. Many have no contract, no benefits, no security, and, some say, no respect. They are adjunct faculty, and public colleges and universities are increasingly relying on them as inexpensive providers ofhigher education. Belinda Peters is one adjunct faculty member who has had enough ofwhat she calls the "deprofessionalization" of university teaching. She is leaving academia at the end ofthe semester after teaching history parttime at CSUSM for more than three years. Peters said she has no other choice but to seek work in another field because she has been unable tofinda full-time position as a history professor. "It was a hard decision, because I like teaching," Peters said. Many of Peter's students are upset that she is leaving.

This will open to traffic before the old bridge is destroyed and phase two, a second three-lane bridge, is built in its place. Phase two is expected to be completed in the spring of2001. In the near future, sporadic daytime closures can be expected at the east-bound on ramp for paving. Also the east-bound off ramp is subject to closures from 8:30am 3:00pm to allow for underground activity. These closures should not pose a major inconvenience, and dates for closures are always posted on the CSUSM web site. According to John Tiersman ofWier Construction they are only closing roads as the contract calls for it. "It is a city The Twin Oaks Valley Bridge of San Marcos contract and Cal Trans manages it." The demolition of the old bridge will be done only when phase one of the new bridge is fully functional. Phase one of the bridge is being built with a complete system ofpower lines (water, gas, telephone, and cable) so there will be no disruption in the power supply. It is all a matter of "San Diego Gas & Electric throwing a switch" according to Nichols. The demolition of the old bridge is a night job so thefreewaywill only be closed at night when the old bridge is destroyed. The old bridge will be taken apart, safely, piece by piece. It is a "fairly quick process," according to Nichols. Cathy Wier, the President of Wier Construction, urges all drivers to be patient with the current construction. "It is a construction sight, so be safe. Any cooperation from drivers is appreciated." PAUL BLANCHARD/raE PRIDE �Harry E.

People forget to see what the hell is going on. They're working too hard... There's something about sleep you know... People should lighten up and look around. Busy people see today and yesterday, not tomorrow." Orfalea has been looking around the CSUSM campus for several years. Bemoaning the absence of a child care center on campus, Orfalea said, "I can't image how a big institution can't afford child care." Although it is not clear at this time if a child care center will actually become a reality, during an informal interview prior to his seminar; Orfalea stated "I'm really with you on having day care here. I'm thinking about donating a child care center here." Others at the informal interview included local reporters; Regina Eisenbach, Interim Associate Dean of the College of Busi- Business. Upon learning that the campus had developed an off-campus child care program since his last visit, Orfalea wanted to know more about theASI Early Learning Center. Orfalea was excited to learn about the CSUSM students' consensus to support the campus child care center. "Maybe we can match the fees," he said with a smile. It has long been the hope and dream of Associated Students and the University community to have an on campus facility that could grow with student needs for quality child care services. The Office of University Development handles most fund raising for campus building projects. Negotiating for large donations is typically not the realm of Associated Students, though they have the charge offunding and operating campus child care. Indeed, rekindled interest in the university, or an on-campus child care facility. While ASI has made significant progress towards the goal of an oncampus center, Director of Development, Linda Fogerson says, "We are totally supportive ofhelping ASI bring a child care center to campus. We will do whatever we can to help make this dream a reality." Associated Students operates the ASI Early Learning Center, an off-campus facility for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center is licensed for 48 children, most of which are children of Cal State San Marcos students. Funding for the center comesfroma mixture of student fees, tuition at the Early Learning Center, and some donation funds. Student fees collected for child care are processed through the Associated Students' budget. I like the feel of the campus, smiled Orfalea. "I like the people; They'refriendly.It's a brand new culture." As he toured the campus, he noted that people walking on the track, walking to classes, and walking through the halls tend to walk in pairs or small groups intent on discussion. Orfalea has taught at numerous colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly. He noted that on his last trip to Stanford that most of the students there tend to walk alone. It is not yet clear if Orfalea intends to follow up on his desire to help CSUSM bring a child care center on campus. He'll have more time now to consider it. Orfalea wanted to tour the existing off-campus Early Learning Center, but his tight schedule prevented him His private jet was scheduled to take off on March 24 at 1:30pm Tuesday, April 11,2000 5 W o r d s rc> L ive B y June Hodges Always do your best.

Whatever reaction you feel determines Greekfraternities/sororitiesfor Blacks and Latinos would be student-led outreach and retention organizations that would give minorities an opportunity to bond while engaging in community service. More importantly, it would give many minorities the motivation to stay in college and not drop out. A Black sorority can be a cultural oasis, according to a graduate student who was in a Black sorority at another university. She said she sometimes felt isolated, alone, or different in a classroom where she was sometimes the only black female student. There are also certain manifes- tations of cultural affirmation that cannot be providedfroman individual of another culture. It is idealistic to think that everyone who is willing to bond through "brotherhood/ sisterhood" would do so in a cultural melting pot organization. I am in afraternitysuch as this: the Brotherhood of the Highest Order, the EJand of Brothers, Leathernecks, the United States Marine Corp. But, in reality, individuals in minority cultural groups who have grown up with their own kind can only bond in this matter or are forced to due to economic circumstances. For President Gonzales to block the expan- sion of the Greek System because of his cultural experience or his unwillingness to acknowledge this reality demonstrates a total disregard for the experience of other cultural groups growing up in the United States. Most CSU and UC schools have black and Latino fraternities/ sororities. Expanding the system would more than likely attract and retain these groups at CSUSM. Is that what the administration is afraid of? Joel A.

Based on the true story of an educated man living as a bohemian on the streets of New York City in the 1940's, the story focuses on the relationship that develops when Joseph Mitchell, a writer for the New Yorker Magazine, does a story about Joseph Gould. Gould, better known as Professor Seagull because he is said to know the language of the birds, is an eccentric man who chooses to live on the streets. He has given up his life as a scholar so that he may record the conversations of ordinary people. His life's obsession, the record of common dialogue is what Gould considers the "true history" of people, "The Oral History of Our Time." In a state between madness and genius, and surviving on money given to him by friends and strangers, Joe Gould takes Mr. Mitchell (and the viewer) on a whirlwind tour of New York society. From overcrowdedflophousesto high society parties, every moment of thisfilmis genuine and well done. Ian Holm, spectacular in his display of emotion, is both captivating and convincing as Joe Gould. Stanley Tucci, who also stars as Joe Mitchell, directed thisfilmwith an artful eye, paying attention to the minutest details. From voyeuristic cinematography to splendid costumes, thisfilmhit every mark. There was not one poor performance in this two-hour movie. Although Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin make short guest performances, this is not a mainstream movie and will probably not appear in theaters for long. So go to theaters while you can and pay the outrageous price to see Joe Gould's Secret-it is worth every single cent.

Karl Griley, a Freshman Business Administration major and an Associate Member of TKE, stated that they had come out in force because TKE wants to, "aid in the growth and development of the children for the future." Secondyear active member of TKE, Jon Teofilo, a Sophomore Sociology major, summed up the significance of the event this way: "We wanted to come out here and show the kids a good time. It is important for us to be out here because the community and school can see not just TKE, but all of the Greek and other student organizations getting involved. This accentuates the growth of the school. As the school grows, the organizations should also. This event shows that that is happening."

ICC may soon have $60,000.00 to help sponsor club events for the academic year. There were at least thirty in attendance, representing over twenty clubs on campus. At ICC meetings the clubs on campus have a chance to discuss what is happening on campus, and the progress of the activities that each club is holding.Clubs may request money for any given event, but this amount is not guaranteed. The bulk of the funding allotted to clubs is to sponsor on-campus events. Club days are those days when clubs are on the quad promoting their activities. The days have been decided: they will be on October: 4th - 8th, and 18th - 22nd; November: I st - 5th, and 15th - 19th; December 6th 10th. Finals week is December 13th - 18th, and there are plans to give the student lounge a "coffee house" setting. The next ICC meeting is October 8th in University Hall, room 373 at 1:30 p.m. CSUSM Student Teachers Lead Local Science Fair By Kraig Kemp Student teachers from cohort B2 of the Multiple Subjects Credential program took part in the Richland Elementary School Science Fair in San Marcos on Thursday, September 23. Their mission was to make learning science fun as they involved children in hands-on science lessons. Several fourth and fifth grade classrooms participated in the event organized by Dr. Kathy Norman, CSUSM College of Education Professor. The lesson topics included one led by student teachers Sony a Foster and Dawn German, in which a laser light, a mirror, and a radio are used to prove that sound travels as a wave that can be captured and seen. The cohort made sure that the children were exposed to a great diversity of hands-on activities. The children expressed much joy for the event in thank-you letters and they had wanted the student teachers to come back soon.

A few weeks ago, as I was preparing to leave campus, I found out that my car battery was dead. I called Public Safety to ask them for a jump since they had done this for me last semester. The dispatcher's response was that they now charged a fee for this service. I would not have minded if the fee were $5 or $10, but I was informed that it would be $20 to $25 ! According to them this fee was due to a liability issue because car batteries had accidentally been blown up in the past. Other universities, such as UCSD, provide this and other car trouble services without charging students additional fees. One would think that amidst all of the fees included in the cost of attending CSUSM (such as the $64 parking permit), that some portion would go towards making these types of services available to students—free of charge! Needless to say, I refused to pay thisridiculousamount and found someone to help me—two hours later. It worries me to think that students, especially those attending evening classes, may encounter a similar dilemma and not have the recourses to get themselves out of the situation. We students can barely pay for our parking permit, some not at all . .. AV DEAR EDITORS: After reading the article "Brotherhood on Campus" in last week's Pride, I was a bit peeved. I realize that Victoria B. Segail was focusing on the all-male Greek social fraternities, but it would have been nice if a little bit more was said about all - the academic Greek societies (academic and social). In regard to all the community service that S AE has supposedly done the author is mistaken about the book bag holding for the campus Book Store. This activity is not community service because S AE gets paid $1,000.00 for providing this service. I won't bet my check on this, but I 'm pretty sure that SAE doesn't spend the $1,000.00 on funding the homeless but instead spends it on whatever secret s tuff— PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE The Pride intends to feature Academic and Women's Greek organizations in future issues. Please be patient, the feature article is forthcoming. CSUS&M Cartoon Was Fallacious By Mike Spangler I saw the cartoon in the September 20th issue ofThe Pride, a ndl read the letters to the editor in its September 27th issue. I am amazed that no apology, retraction, or correction was printed, and, in this instance, I am ashamed to call myself a Pride staff writer. I cannot tolerate viewing inaccuracies published with such reckless abandon, and I feel that I must speak out in critical com-| mentary, not as a member of the staff, but as a student of this glorious campus. A student newspaper should strive to publish not only stimulating material, but factual material. The artist erroneously and humorously implied that the SM of CSUSM stands for Sado-Masochism. The artist then tried to cover up his lack of artistic talent and wit by scrawling a few words: San Marcos. This injustice must not stand uncorrected! Had someone simply listened to the echo ing voices of students in the stairwells, then, assuredly, the errors would have been avoided. C SUSM: The l ittle u niversity on the b ig h illside... With a lot of damned stairs. There is not a place an able-bodied student can park that doesn't require a 3-unit pre-requisite in step aerobics. Elevators? Do not! make me laugh. I do not need to have taken a statistics class to know that it is nearly impossible to use the elevators to get from the 1stfloorof Craven Hall to the 4th floor of Academic Hall in less than 7 hours. My heart truly goes out to the students confined to wheelchairs. Once inside an elevator, pushing a button for a specificflooris much like rolling dice—you never know what floor you'll actually stop on. This only substantiates the rumor that the designer of the cam pus elevator system is also the creator of the child's board game, Chutes and Ladders. I would like to propose that all students who must learn to negotiate the campus elevator system on a daily basis receive full credit for having satisfied the University's Critical Thinking general education requirement. Herein lies the true meaning of the SM of CSUSM: Stair Master. This also explains the See CSUS&M Page 3 , h Fatimah Cruz-Young certainly has a right to voice her opinions in the September 27 article about the Open House. However, I do wish she had taken the opportunity to talk to someone involved with the event before condemning it as a disastrous result of "poor planning". I have been Chair of the Tenth Anniversary Committee since January 1998. F orcloseto 21 months, a large committee comprised of a cross-section of the campus community (including alums and students) has been meeting to plan, design and execute a series of 10th anniversary events taking place throughout the month of September Our event calendar was set well ahead of Oceanside's Harbor Days and Escondido's Grape Days. (As an aside Harbor Days attracted one-fifth the number of participants as it usually draws due to the rainy, cold weather on that Saturday.) We were also limited in our selection of weekend days to hold the Open House by the Jewish holiday s on September 11 and 12, the Track event scheduling and other competing priorities. Also, I wonder if Ms. Cruz-Young actually stayed to hear Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band? Certainly the crowd of300-500 people on the Forum Plaza could hardly compose the "vacant" lawn she refers to in her article. In addition to a careful, long planning period, the committee and several sub-committees distributed flyers to 25 area schools; advertised in the "Union Tribune" and "North County Times"; notified 15 other local area newspapers; aired on KPBS radio and Daniels Cablevision; promoted through the "Pennysaver", flyers throughout campus, "The Pride", the homepage, mailings of the special issue of the "Blueprints" to over 10,000 community members and alumni, as well as distributed 5000 inserts of the "Blueprints" to the student body. The committee of volunteers worked diligently and planned carefully for many long months. I would publicly like to thank them for their efforts. Indeed, it was disappointing to us all that the weather prevented so many people from joining us. Sincerely, Jane A. Lynch Executive Director, University Development PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE Certainly The Pride joins the Tenth Anniversary Committee in its regret that the celebration was not well attended. Was it so un reasonable to blame the planning for the poor turnout? The evidence was in front of our reporter. While you suggest that students were involved, according to ASI President Waleed Delawari, at no time was the Associated Students invited to be a part of the Planning Committee. (The Pride was aware that Grape Day Festival conflicted with the Open House. We only now learn from you that Harbor Days also conflicted.) The Pride sought out the commentary of the few other students, besides Ms. CruzYoung, who had attended the final event of the evening. The response that The Pride received regarding the turnout ranged from "150 would be over-estimating." to "surely no more than 200 at the most." The Pride followed up on these student estimates with an inquiry to Public Safety's Lt. Glen, who was present at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration for the duration of the events. Lt. Glen estimated the total turnout for the event at 150-200 persons. The Pride finds no data that substantiates your estimate of 300-500. The Pride commends the Tenth Anniversary committee for extensively advertising the events. Perhaps because CSUSM is a relatively new campus, there lies much difficulty gaining recognition in the established community. This also is compounded with CSUSM's commuter school atmosphere and the challenges students face in creating a community of their own. These are just some speculations as to account for the pathetic Open House turnout. In addition, though the weather was unfortunate, other local events, such as Escondido's Grape Day Festival, enjoyed a successful turnout. This fact leaves the question of blaming an act of God (the weather), for the events' poor turnout, out of the question. The repercussions of the Tenth Anniversary Event did not end for the student population with Poncho Sanchez's last song. As a direct result of this fiasco, MEChA, the primary Mexican American Student group on campus, is forced to take a back seat at this year's Pow Wow . "We wanted to sell tostadasand nachos,but were told that all was left was popcorn and cotton candy," states Leticia Luna MEChA's president. "Taco Pablos," a Mexican restaurant who experienced huge losses at the Open House, have been semi-compensated with exclusive rights to sell Mexican food at the 1999 Pow W ow- over and above a student organization's needs to raise funds and share their culture. The Pride regrets that the wrong date for completion of the Twin Oaks bridge was printed in the title of an article in the September 27th issue of The Pride. The actual date of completion is April 2001. It was only wishful thinking on our part I suppose. Mexican & Mexican-American Undergraduates Needed!

CSU S TAIR M A S T E R SAMANTHA M . CAHILL & PAUL BLANCHARD/ The Pride CSUS&M Continued from pg. 2 University's lack of physical education classes. A four-year degree from CSU Stair Master, regardless of one's field of study, automatically certifies the graduate to be a personal trainer. This is a clever utilization of the "time on task" principal, enabling everyone to double-major. Supervisors at the Dome have confirmed, off the record, that all consumables served in the food court have been laced with extra calories to offset the increased caloric needs of the campus community. CSU Stair Master faculty should be pleased to know that an as-yet-uncirculated memorandum maintains that "Faculty may satisfy up to an additional 6 Direct Weighted Units if they agree to teach a class in a third or fourth floor classroom." The most positive side to all of these stairs, for students, faculty, and staff alike, is the backside. Members of the CSU Stair Master community have the best glutei in the entire CSU system, no ifs, ands, or (ahem) buts. frighteningly convincing mood of the film.

The center, sponsored by associated student, offers child care for children of CSUSM students as well as other in the community. It runs five sessions daily. The first begins at 6:15 A.M. and the last one ends at 6 PM. Prices range from $12.25 to $19.25 per day, roughly 2 0 percent less than comparable day care centers.

The goal of providing affordable child care for students, staff, and faculty has been a dream ever since the university admitted its first student in 1989. But translating that dream into reality has been a slow process. Creating a day care center was one of Darlene Willis' first directives when she took the job of executive director of associated students. Much discussion had taken place on the best way to establish the center, she discovered, but little had been done. Enter the Associated Students. With $ 29,000 from its reserves, A.S. found the existing child care center on Gosnell Way, which w as o n the market, arranged to lease the building on a yearto-year basis. "This A.S. board is to be commended for its efforts," said Willis, adding that 25 percent of every dollar collected by AS in student fees is allocated for day care. Prior to the center's conception 15 individual s cholarships of $ 500 were given to students to offset the cost of childcare. This money now will help support the Early Learning Center. Within the next two years, the uni- III11 m H Photo By David Johnson The Early Learning Center, located on 139 Gosnell, behind the San Marcos Post Office, now provides an alternative source of childcare for students as well as others in the community. versity hopes to move the day care center to a permanent location on campus neer the Public Safety Center. Willis said such a move will cost $1.5 million, which includes building an access road and the facility itself.

The recent spate of H storms that roared through the county 1 Jfailed to delay the scheduled opening of the university's Building 15. The building, tentatively named International Hall, still is scheduled to open in mid-August for the fall semester classes. The storms also failed to dampen the spirits of school officials, who are eagerly anticipating the extra space Building 15 will provide to the cramped university. "We're looking forward to the future. The weather hasn't pushed us off our summer occupancy," said Russ Decker, CSUSM's director of Planning, Design and Construction. According to Decker, the 7 1,000square-foot building will accommodate 1,000-1,200 students, and will contain four new computer labs, a foreign language lab and two broadcast rooms. It also will house faculty offices for the College of Education and the departments of psychology, computer science and foreign language.The only weather-related problems for the building this semester have been minor, according to Bob Boyer, construction su- still on schedule perintendent. Rain, for example, delayed fabrication of the concrete panels that make up the exterior walls of the building, which set the final completion date back about two weeks, from June 24 to mid-July. But Decker said the mid-August grand opening would not be affected. The walls on the three-story, rear section of Building 15 are in place and about 3 0 percent of the roof has been finished. Boyer said he the entire roof should be in place, and the rear section watertight, by the middle of February. The four-story,frontsection is still without walls, but Boyer said he hopes they will be up by the beginning of March. Once the walls are finished, the roof on thefrontsection should be completed within two weeks. What if El Nino continues its current rampage? "We're keeping an eye out, but we have plans to handle it," Decker said. The IR plans include making up lost time by accelerating work on the interior of the building (which is already ahead of schedule), and possibly moving some of the faculty and equipment into the rear section of the building while the front is finished, he added. Independent study courses leave students hanging B Y JENIFER J AFFE T" ast month a the SMART system surprised a hand JL-Jful of students on campus when it informed them they would receive credit or nocredit, instead of a letter grade, for winter term independent study classes. Debbie Holderby, a literature and writing major, was among the students who didn't realize that literature and writing independent study courses are now designated as credit/ no-credit according to t he CSUSM 9 7-98 catalog, she# said. After listening to the SMART system, Holderby remarked that she thought the course she paid over $ 300.00 for was useless. According to both the CSUSM 96-97, and the 97-98 catalogs, students working towards a Bachelor of Arts in literature and writing studies cannot take a course required for their major c redit/nocredit.

Bccome o 1 on't turn the corner too fast because you could l niss it. Maybe you've noticed Power Surge Cafe as you've passed the intersection of Barham and Twin Oaks Drive on your way to school. But more and more CSUSM students are finding that it's worth more than a look. Better yet, many say, they're discovering that it's a place of their own. Owner Mark DuBois understands. He graduated from CSUSM himself two years ago. "I feel a resposibility to give some of that back to the community." says Dubois. "I feel like I owe the university a huge debt because my education was so incredible. The instructors really care about you as a person and don't look at you as a number." As a result, Dubois has offered his cafe as a venue for several university activities, " We're starting to do local music on Friday night," he says. "On March 23, one of the literature and writing classes is going to be performing poetry at noon." Adds employee Rachel Harris: "You see people who are so psyched to be here and so excited about how it's going to change. Hey, this is going to be really cool. There's great ideas and people. "There's really nothing else in this whole college area. Just to have a home base where students thi&^Hege f r^^ or SDSU%the?fact that it is small and more intimate. This place is so North County." "There's a different feel. San Marcos has culture. This is just another extension of that." With a view of the college and nearby location, Harris says, "We're building the foundations for the college area." . CSUSM teachers also are finding a home at Power Surge. "The faculty has been so supportive," DuBois says. "They've had all kinds of meetings down v WmNwm* here: Administration, Counseling, Financial Aid. To me, the neat thing is that it's a mixing ground between the university and community. Our customers are truckers, cab drivers, students and homemakers." For students who find the choice between the bustle and noise of the university cafeteria and the dark quietude of the library equally uninspiring, Power Surge Cafe offers an atmosphere fall of daylight and a unique decorative style. A large antique map of the world and other paintings, including a modern work by a CSUSM student, adorn the walls. Employees bring their own CDs to provide background music. "We don't just want to get you in, then get you out," Harris says. Power Surge will soon open an adjoining room that will house six computers, providing Internet access to interested students. The $6 price per hour is half of what Kinko's and other cyber cafes charge. Power Surge offers a full espresso bar and reasonably priced coffee (75 cents, $1 and $1.25), plus lunch deals with quality meats and cheeses ($3 for a sandwich, chips and pickle). It also offers quiches and lunch croissants with ham and cheese or turkey and feta. A variety of pastries includes standbys such as cinnamon rolls and various croissants and more unique selections, such . as th^-'Mogkey Bar" (banana and chocolate chip), cappuccmoiar, chocolate wipetfut cake and white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. For breakfast eaters not into sweets, there's cereal with milk ($1.50) and juice. Fresh smoothies will be on the menu soon, DuBois says. "We're trying to keep our prices down to cater to students," says Harris. "A lot of us here are students. We know how hard it is." Power Surge is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ^ I Lawyer's Assistant B Y A M Y M ESTER | > The UNIVERSITY Of SAM DIEGO, offers an Intensive ABA Approved poet graduate 14 week LAWYER'S ASSISTANT PROGRAM.

But, not many JL JLknow what a tukwut is. And even fewer know how to pronounce it. The CSUSM logo provides the best hint, and, as most people suspect when they see it, a tukwut is indeed a mountain lion.In a recent random survey on campus, few knew anything more, other than it was an Indian term. Most pronouriced it in either of two ways: "too cute" and "tuck qwat."Where did it come from? Like a lot of terms, from the Indians.According to a brief but interesting history prepared by Mark A. Macarro, tukwut... pronounced "took woot" ... is a Luisen~o Indian term for the California mountain lion. The Luisen~o tribe, or Payomkawichum, as its members call themselves, originally inhibited the area along the Southern California coast from Encinitas to Las Flores in Camp Pendleton and inland to Palomar Mountain and southwest Riverside County. B Y R EBECCA W A R N E The Luisen~o believe that they have lived in the region since the beginning of time. Their history records l ife beginning in the Temucula Valley long before the Spanish land grant settlers. When CSUSM was founded, an elder of the tribe was consulted to help select the mascot... partially to honor the indigenous people of the region but also in keeping with the university's commitment to diversity. �Alternative grading system could benefit students and teachers alike B Y LESLIE P EARNE ^ T A "THiat if a u niversity % / % / d idn't g ive l etter ¥ Y grades? What if students were measured by detailed, written evaluations that explained strengths and weaknesses and specified goals that must be met? That might make a lot of students happy. Indeed, a number of CSUSM s tudents indicate that the present system of letter grades isn't necessarily what they prefer. Rya Anderson, a senior majoring in Liberal Studies, s aid s he w ould w elcome CSUSM's adopting a writtenevaluation g rading s ystem. "That's good, because s ometimes students put a lot of e ffort into a class, but have low test scores. If the effort goes unnoticed, then t he grade i s based on the numbers," s he added. Diane Nesser, a senior majoring in Literature and Writing, said she'd like a better explanation of how she performed in a class than a letter grade provides. "Feedback allows one to look back o n their strengths and weaknesses. It also explains why one may receive a plus or minus, instead of a straight B or C," she added. UC-Santa Cruz, which u ses t he w ritten-evaluation grading method, is now in the process of changing it to a dual procedure. Students will receive letter grades, necessary for transferring and/or graduate school applications, along with the written evaluation. Both students and professors have commented that the system gives the university more of a low-pressure, less competitive e nvironment, b ecause there is no GPA. Dr. L eslie Z omalt, CSUSM's coordinator of advising, called the written-evaluation process "very difficult," because it's hard to convert to such an assessment at a university t hat s olely u ses l etter g rades. "This i s n ot t o t he student's advantage, especially w hen a pplying t o g raduate schools," she added. Many administrators say implementing a new grading process is overly time-consuming. But, Dr. Sue Fellows, a professor in the Literature a nd W riting D epartment counters that it can be accomplished in a less laborious manner. "During the first week of the semester, students and professors should have conferences," she suggests. "No actual class meetings." "This would allow for students to fully understand what is expected from them and what they can expect from the professor." Fellows says student/ professor communication can be strengthened by the written evaluation, and adds, "Written evaluations are a more personalized and d etailed way t o grade." Michael Stary, a graduate student in Literature and Writing, said he would like to see CSUSM adopt a system similar to UC-Santa Cruz's proposed two-step method. "Written evaluations would work h ere b ecause t hey work at UCSC. We could model a process after theirs," he added. "It is hard for graduate programs to determine your background when applying and a written evaluation would give a detailed explanation on your academic career." CSUSM o fficials stressed that there are no plans in the works for changing the current grading system, but pointed out that the nine-year university is still young, offering students the opportunity to help mold and shape it in the future. - oppwt^ities ; d p i ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ F i : ^ ' t he;JJniversity IlKiliMfei^^Bife feslfcitia^ii^^Hi S cience continued from page 3 "The k ids l oved it.

Sound too good to be true? Meet Dr. Renee Curry, who became program director for the Literature and Writing D epartment at the beginning of the spring semester. Her duties include developing a s chedule, matching faculty e xpertise w ith that s chedule and working with the Dean to fine tune any administrative b umps in the road. Curry, who has worked in Literature and Writing for seven years, s aid s he w elcomed t he opportunity to be involved in the a dministrative s ide of t he d epartment. "My career is set up so that I never have to choose something awful," she said. "My choices are something wonderful A or something wonderful B." Directorship of the department is rotated generally every two or three years. Curry t ook over f rom Ken Mendoza. aI really believe in the democratic system," she said. "I really believe in turn-taking, and after seven years it is more than my turn." As a result of student feedback and a story in the Pride last semester, Curry said s he p lans t o build more night classes into the Literature and Writing schedule. She stressed that the department has an open-door policy that encourages student involvement. "The advisors, Lora Coad and Leslie Zomalt, let us know what the students want," she added. "One of the ways we can tell, for instance, i s by the courses that get crashed. Typically, students end up in Advising requesting a particular course at a particular time. The advising folks let us know." Curry h as two areas of focus in the coming months. The first is to get the fall 1998 schedule in order. "My goal is to provide desired courses and course times so that Lit-Writing students can get t heir d egrees," she emphasized. The other is to provide mentoring, for the department's professors. "The amount of paperwork t hat p rofessors s ift through is mindnumbing," she said, adding that she hopes to help guide them into desired grants and research areas. Curry said she is proud of the students in the department. "Lit-writing students love to read," she said. "We are the only people left on the planet who on any given weekday take time to ourselves to read." Lit-writing students are the last remaining vestige of what it really means to be a true intellectual... which is to read. As soon as we give up reading, that to me, is going to be the beginning of the end of a type of intellectualism. "Not that there aren't other types. I'm heavily involved in technology and computers. But I think that if we give up reading, something very important will be gone. Lit-writing students refuse to give that up." performs in Escoridido ,'U: r E seoiidldb; C A~Tbe t r a d e m a r k g e s t u r e s o f t h i s g reat F repcli ,;mime a r$ g raceful a nd p oetic; t hey a re a t estament t o t he p hysical d i s c i p l i n e ^ ? a t rue m aster* M arcel M arceau i s f ull o f e n e r g y a n d <$*iite c apable o f d rawing u n d i v i d e d a ttention f rom a n . audience o f a ll a ges at, t he,California C enter f o r t he A rts, E scondido T u e s d a y , r ^ - f V ,"!Marceati'can sa^r morie w ith o ne e yebrow o r o ne r ipple o f h is f ingers t han s o m e s ay V i t h tfiieir e ntire b odies.

The center has seven classrooms for children between the ages of 2 to Kindergarten. It is licensed to care for up to 52 kids at a time. Its staff of nine ranges in experiencefromseven to 17 years. The student-teacher ratio is about 7 to 1 for 2-year-olds and 10 or 12 to 1 for the older children. Linda Conde, a native Californian, moved back to the state to take the position of center director. As a teacher at a community college in Florida, she made a presentation on school readiness at a conference of the National Association of Educators of Young Children (NAEYC) in Anaheim when she learned of the CSUSM position. Conde, who has 2 0 years experience and a masters degree in Early Childhood from the University of San Francisco, is also a former educational coordinator for the federal Head Start program. Conde says she is proud that her staff s qualifications exceed those mandated by the California State Matrix. Conde said a typical day at the center "varies between active and quiet play." Sharing, music stories, painting and puppets are just a few of the activities. There is also naptime or quiet time for those who don't nap. Conde has many goals for the center. She hopes to get involved in the state-funded food program to help parents with low incomes. Currently, parents are required to pack a lunch for their children. She also wants to take the center through the NAEYC's training program, which she calls an "exemplary" effort involving both teachers and parents. Because the center was an existing facility, many of its children have no ties to the university. Conde said she hopes to increase the number of university families there from the present 38 percent to more than 50 percent. Conde said she also would like to involve the campus community as much as possible with the center, and is hoping for support from student organizations. Plans are underway for a VIP readers day with faculty selecting books and reading to the children. The Psychology Department has expressed interest in utilizing the center to give its students an opportunity to observe and learn about early child development. Interested parents should call Conde at (760) 7 45-4999 for more information. Availability is limited, but Conde said every effort will be made to accommodate students. In the meantime, plans have been made to paint the inside of the center on Feb. 28. Anyone wishing to volunteer his or her services should contact Associated Students.

HEALTH SYSTEM Student Health Center Building, Corner of Twin Oaks & Craven Road, Suite 103 • Open Monday-Friday, 10 a.m to 6 p m �Housing continued from page 3 from other California campuses ... Cal Poly Pomona, UCSD and San Diego State," said Mitchell. "We visited other n ew c ampus h ousing p rojects at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount. We were able to see them even before the students had moved in. Review plans were submitted." The recommendations submitted called for a non-traditional approach to campus housing. According to Mitchell, students today prefer more privacy and would like single rooms. They also would prefer small private bathrooms as opposed to the communal shower rooms that are standard in most dorms." The trend favors suites or apartments," Mitchell said. "We would initially start out with 3 00-400 beds." Until then, there are the Islands, an apartment complex in San Marcos leasing 23 units to the school under a special agreement. Students pay user fees to the housing office, which in turn pays their rent, utilities, and provides furniture. Some 8 0 students currently live there, with most sharing a bedroom with another s tudent. Mitchell acknowledges that the arrangement is somewhat untraditional, saying, "I think we have to realize that it's not the ideal situation. It's temporary and that's the way it was meant to be. We have tried to make it as close to traditional campus housing as possible. But they share the complex with tenants who are not students. The apartments are in close proximity to each other, but it's not like we have our own area." The target date for on-campus housing remains elusive. The most significant roadblock is funding. Housing programs are required to be self-supporting and generally do not receive funds from the school. The user fees collected from the Islands students pay a portion of her office's budget, Mitchell says, adding, "The salaries of t he three f ull-time housing staffers is supported by the state. We probably need a minimum of 250 students to kick off our own housing program." > And Mitchell believes that the interest level will be sufficient to make on- campus h ousing viable w ithin f ive years. As the campus grows in enrollment, Mitchell expects the most interest from first-year students, easily the largest group on campus at 6 0 percent of the student population. The second largest student group, transfer students, would likely be interested as well. "On campus housing serves as a transition for new students to the university," Mitchell said. "Research over the last 20 years shows that students who live in university housing for at least their first year have higher grades, are more likely to on to graduate school, are more likely to graduate in less time than those living off campus, and will be more likely to enjoy their college experience." Mitchell said the presence of on-campus housing will change the environment of the university as well. A residential program would make the university central to a student's life. "That's particularly tough on this campus because we are still very young," she said." We don't have a student union. There are no ideal places for students to hang out on campus. It's part of the educational experience to network with and support other students who are like minded. It's a place to develop as a person, socially and educationally. It's a great place to learn how to get along with people different from themselves." On-campus housing also adds the benefit of attracting out-of-town students. It's a matter of convenience, according to Mitchell. Students would be able to live in a safe familiar environment rather than search for housing in strange, unfamiliar communities. But she also hopes that on-campus housing will appeal to local students, too. Anticipated fees are impossible to predict at this stage. Seemingly they would have to help defray the cost of the land, construction and, later, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings. Mitchell said she cannot predict whether fees would be comparable to those paid by students at the Islands, but added, "Our goal is to have housing at the best possible price for students."

B Y D EBBIE H OLDERBY T ^ I ducation through the s enses. M That's the goal of CSUSM's Arts JL-jf& Lecture Series. Far from being just entertainment, the series is a learning experience as well. It o ffers e vents h ighlighting artists, performers and lecturers in all disciplines. "It's not just art," says Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean of Library Services and coordinator for the s eries. The lectures seek to "link the d isciplines, including m athematics and psychology," s he said, adding, "The adventure of discovery should involve more than books." This semester, the series will offer 3 0 events, ranging from an AIDS documentary on Feb. 2 3 t o m usic from Zydeco Blues Patrol in April. On March 4, it will feature works from artists Renee Cox and Yong Soon Min, which, Biggs said, "have been viewed as somewhat controversial." She added, "A lot of the faculty see the events as an opportunity to enhance instruction," explaining that some members often bring their classes to the performances and lectures. After t he p resentations, 7 0 percent of the artists and lecturers visit classrooms, Biggs said, to "interact with the students one-on- one." T he CSUSM f aculty i s i nvolved in the selection process, said Biggs, and some of the events in the Arts & Lecture Series are sponsored in p artnership w ith t he California Center for the Arts, Eseondido. The artists and lecturers often give presentations at the Eseondido Center as well as the university. The events are open to the public.

An ongoing art exhibit in the CSUSM. Library, "Bells and Whistles Sidetracked in the Library," seeks to engage a visitor's senses through visual, kinesthetic and aural interaction. The artists of the exhibit, Richard Keely and Anna O'Cain, o pened their collaborative project on Friday Feb 7.0'Cain is a professor in CSUSM's V isual a nd P erforming A rts Department.One part of the exhibit features a curtained box that invites visitors inside. Once there, they may peer t hrough p eepholes, v iewing t he library's activities. In another area of the library, the exhibit presents a colorful wall of sound and texture, extending the experience beyond the visual to include tactile sense and hearing. Visitors can create their own experiences. The exhibit was specifically designed for the campus library. "The library is a place people normally only think about research and studying," said Bonnie Biggs, assistant to the dean for Library Services. "Discovery should be on all levels, including the senses." The art exhibit is currently on display through March 27. Photo By Debbie Holderby Kathy McAlpine, a student at CSUSM, kneels along-side the "Bells and Whistles" exhibit on display through March 27 Freshman Year Sucks, a lasting achievement // B Y FREDRIC B ALL N estled between a dry cleaners and a portrait s tudio i s an u nlikely arena for the most cutting-edge performance art in San Diego. But, for a space called 6 @ Penn, it works. Located at the corner at Sixth and Pennsylvania Ave. in the heart of Hillcrest, this 1 00-seat performance space i s the temporary home of some of the most innovative and entertaining theater pieces and performance art in the county. And its latest offering, Rob Nash's "Freshman Year Sucks!" is no exception. A veteran of regional theatre, Nash turns his comic eye to the life of three soon-to-be friends as they enter freshman year of Jesuit high school in H ouston. N ash, a n ative of A ustin, Texas, who also wrote the show, portrays the three "nonconformists"... Ben, George and Johnny. At the piece's outset, J ohnny befriends Ben and George (whom he deems "chick repellant") after moving t o t he a ffluent s ection of H ouston known as River Oaks from Iowa City. We then f ollow t he trio through the lives, loves and heartaches of freshman year. J ohnny i s t he-rough-and tumble outcast, a modern-day James Dean. And his two friends are the exact o pposite, Ben i s t he meek o ne w ho questions his sexuality and thinks he's falling for Johnny's girl, Maria. George's sexuality is still in question, though he has a senior-size crush on his wanton tutor. As the work progresses, Ben finds a soul mate (though not a sexual one) in Maria and the tutor wants nothing extra-curricular with pupil George. What sets this coming of age (and coming out) tale apart from the others of its ilk is that Nash portrays all the characters, an amazing 26. From the three friends and the objects of their desire (male and female) to parents, teachers and school administrators, Nash carries them all. And he does it extraordinarily well. His words are not carried out with the same insanity as, say, a Robin W illiams i mprov p iece, b ut w ith a s mooth, l ightning s peed a chieved through changes in facial expressions, body language and a myriad of dialects from the South.

We then follow the camera as it follows Mr. Arlow making his way up to Zero's penthouse pad. With a recognizable hat's off to "Get Smart* and the convoluted conditions of getting into headquarters, a frustrated Arlow finally gets in and we are introduced to Mr. Zero: your basic Howard Hughes in the early stages of his agoraphobic paranoia. However, judge not a book by its cover my faithful film lovers. On t he j ob, Darryl Zero metamorphasizes into a cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes; smart, smooth, savvy, sexy, sweet and sensitive. Although he regards "the fine art of detachment" as a rigorous rule in detective work, he is unable to stand steadfast and true when attracted to an adorable and amorous admirer. This will not prove his undoing-quite the opposite—but does prove that "passion is the enemy of precision" (a Zeroism). Ryan O'Neal portrays Mr. Stark, the man with a past that won't go away, in desperate need of a discrete detective. O'Neal does a fine job here evoking emotions in the right places without overdoing his options. Both Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller infuse their characters with individuality, humanity and heart, allowing access into their fractured friendship. Written as well as directed by Jake Kasdan, Zero Effect demonstrates a deft display of camera control while providinng film patrons with a lovely look and listen into the lives of some unusual people with the usual problems.

Certainly n one are needed for those who have to juggle work, school, and family. Free time is scarcedndeeci:! | gyt « Though it may seem impossible to get out of town if you have only one day a week off, but it isn't. Nor does it need to put you in debt. If you like snow sports, or want to learn about them, good times are about two hours away at three resorts at Big Bear Lake. Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain each have something to offer. The best mountain for any kind of downhill gliding depends on your experience, and your wallet. At Snow Valley; an all-day, adult lift ticket costs $34. Students and military pay $ 30 for all-day tickets; children 6 to 9, $9; and seniors (over 70) and children under 6 ski free. For beginners, both skiing and snowboarding packages are available. The beginning ski package includes boots, skis and lesson f or $39. The beginning snowboard package is $49, and includes boots, board and lesson. Snow Valley h as a s nowboard park w ith jumps for all levels, and a skateboard park The second resort, Snow Summit, has been bombarding the public with radio and billboard advertisements. Lift t ickets there have g one down $12 since last season, something that doesn't happen often. An adult, allday ticket costs $ 32, while children from 7 to 12 pay $10 and children under 6 are free with a paying adult. If you finish before 1 p.m., you can turn in your ticket for a voucher toward your next time. Night skiing and snowboarding ( $24 per adult and $ 8 per child) is also available, as well as packages for snowboarders and beginI nor skiers ($65, which includes all rentals, lift ticket and four hours of lessons). Snow Summit is known for its snowboard park, the largest in Southern California. Tickets for the resort can b e bought at any Ticket-Master location. If y ou make t here b efore March, you can get an all-day lift ticket the third resort, Bear Mountain, for $29 Monday through Friday. That price jumps to $ 42 on March 1, but 13- to 22-year-olds will pay only $32, and those 6 to 12, $10. Halfday skiing, starting at 12:30 p.m., costs $ 28 for adults and $25 for those 13 to 22. You also can turn in a full day ticket before 12:30 P.M. and receive a voucher for your next visit. I ntroductory s kiing and snowboarding packages are available for $45 and $50, respectively, including lower mountain lift ticket, rentals and l esson. The Bear Mountain snowboard park has many new jumps and a new permanent boardercross. Tickets for Bear Mountain can be purchased at the ticket office and at manyVons stores. Bringing your own lunch to the resorts can save both money and time, since lunchtime in the lodges is hectic and expensive. Rentals are available at each mountain, and in several surf shops in North County as well. Group rates (more than 2 0 people) also are available at all three. . B Y M ICHAEL M g Bureaucracy—one n ever m r a knows when it will strike. Since the majority of students at CSUSM combine work with school, if not also parenthood, most of us can relate to the necessity of a class schedule that works well with all the other aspects of our lives. I know I'm like that. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, leaving Tuesday and Thursdays only for the classes I need to graduate in may. But, when I entered my second class thatfirstTuesday, it was a bit worrisome: There were only four students in all, and the university's tentative minimum is twelve. It turns out my fears were justified. On the second Tuesday, the professor informed us that the class was cancelled. It was a senior-oriented class, and a least two of us needed it to graduate. Crashing a class in the second week is a very uncertain situation. So we were quite worried. But, there was hope. The professor said we could take the class as an independent study. But, since she was unsure of all the fine points, we went to the d$par£nent head to work it put. Once there, we were told that we indeed could take the class as an independent study, but only on a credit/ no credit basis. Never having taken a such a class, I had no problem with this. Then came the catch: The department h ead i nformed u s that a credit/no credit class couldn't count toward your major. This was very bad, since I needed an elective in my major in order to graduate. There was no point to taking the class if it wouldn't count toward my major. We asked if there was anyone else we could talk to who might have the power to provide some relief. We were given the name and number of an administrator and told to call and make an appointment. But this was Tuesday, and the add deadline was in three days. We might not be able to even get to see the administrator in time. We asked the department head if we could get special consideration if we tried to crash a class, since ours was canceled and we were graduating seniors. We were told that was up to the individual professor, and we should plead our case ourselves. I found a few electives that fit my schedule but learned they were full, leaving me with the choice of quitting my job or attending summer school. It was in this hopeless state that I thought of talking to my counselor, Laura Coad. On two previous occasions, she had clarified and focused my academic life. But I had my doubts whether even she could save me this time. She said she would talk to the department head. An hotir or so later, after my next class, I returned and she waved me in. "You're fine,'' she said. "You can take the class credit/no credit and graduate." That was it. I had gone from a brick wall to a yellow brick road. I found it hard to believe, but I told my professor and she told me to meet her on Thursday to work out the independent study.

As she signed them, she explained that because we were on a different catalogue year we were exempt from the policy. It occurred to me that most seniors would be on a different catalogue year than the present one.-1 don't think too many students transfer colleges in their senior year. Though curious why this hadn't been apparent two days prior, I was happy to have my original schedule back. It just proves that you have to be careful what you accept as the truth ... especially in a bureaucracy. ' Pri§e' g ppp j| Letters t o t he e ditor are w elcome.

Namely, the International Hall, or "Building 15," as it is sometimes called, is on schedule to be ready for use by next fall. When completed, the four-story, 150room building will cover 71,000 square feet. Its construction cost, $11.2 million, is completely funded by the state. Project Superintendent Bob Boyles calls it a "smart building" because it is "highly upgraded." Unless you count the six rattlesnakes that Boyles and his crew have discovered so far, the only construction snag was last year when four times more rocks than anticipated had to be excavated to start the building's foundation. No one has been hurt on the project so far, even by the rattlesnakes. Tom Blair, director of Facility Services, was pleased by the on-schedule construction rate. "We are expecting the building to befinishedsometime in July of '98 and have it ready before the fall semester of the same year," he said. That will definitely be a major help next year, when an estimated 533 more students are expected to be enrolled at CSUSM, which is already badly overcrowded. Originally, four new campus buildings were envisioned by next fall. But, because of the failure of a statewide bond referendum in 1994, International Hall is the only one on which ground will be even broken. This year, there are roughly 4,400 students on campus, including 3,440 full-time equivalents, 300 more than last year. In order to qualify for state funding, CSU universities need to fulfill an enrollment target mandated by the state. Since CSUSM is only 80 students above its 3,360 target for tins fall, Richard Reihl, executive director of Enrollment Services, said "We won't be growing at all next semester because we don't want to over crowd our classrooms too much." But, he added, "We feel pretty good about our enrollment for the fall." This year, CSUSM stopped accepting admission applications on June 16. "We had a higher percentage of continuous students this semester than we had expected," Reihl said, adding that the university also needed to enroll some 300 students who werefrozenout when San Diego State University closed its admissions even earlier than CSUSM. "Predicting students' behavior towards enrollment is particularly difficult in a young institution because you don't have a lot of history to rely on," Reihl said. ii liiili SiWEasft VOICE,«.»JPa«E 7 HlwHHM hm ENTERTAINMENT. . . , .

It's hard cash. And it's waiting JLfor Cal State San Marcos students in the Financial Aid-Scholarship Office. What's the catch? Students have to need the money to get it. And, they will have to move fast, like by Oct. 23, to take advantage of a new, simplified application process. There are 14 scholarships available, 12 of them funded by private groups, two by the state. To be eligible for each, students need to fill out only one application, since CSUSM is one of the few universities to offer the General Scholarship Application. Anyone filling it out automatically will be considered for any scholarship available. The application itself is simple, but the rest of the process takes a litde more work. In addition to submitting a two-page essay describing accomplishments, financial needs and adversities overcome, students m m are urged to include up to three letters of recommendation in order to be considered for all available scholarships. In the past, students applying for schol- Only a few hundred of the 4,670 CSUSM students have taken advantage of the process so far, according to Kirsti Serafine, CSUSM scholarship coordinator. "Too few students know about the General Scholarship Application," she said. "We try to get the word out with flyers and at orientation. I don't understand why students aren't taking advantage of this great opportunity." One student said part of the problem is confusion over the definition of financial need. "I don't want to waste my time applying because I got a letter saying I wasn't eligible f or grant aid," he added. "This means I 'm not eligible for a scholarship, right?" No, according to Gerrie Hatten, assistant director of financial aid. "Anyone can get a scholarship," she added. "The bulk of our scholarships are need-based, but just because someone i sn't awarded grant aid arships had to fill out separate applications d oesn't mean they d on't have financial for each, plus separate essays. And only need. The need is still there and they should original letters of recommendation, rather definitely apply for a scholarship." than copies, would be accepted. see Scholarships page 6 On-campus childcare moves Student Center re-vitalized past planning stage B Y EVELYN CHOROSER B Y HELEN DAHLSTROM ^ "^T TTiere oh where is CSUSM's childcare. Where 1 / V / oh where can it be. It's still somewhere out there, T T but it's getting a lot closer, according to Terra Beauchamp, child care director for Associated Students, Inc. "We are currently investigating the leasing of an existing center near campus," she said, adding that the service could begin by next semester. CSUSM child care, which has been in the planning stage seemingly since the university was founded eight years ago, is critical to the academic plans for a number of students, some of whom have been told for the last four years that it "is coming." Though most of the details of the university's arrangement cannot be released until final approval is reached, Beauchamp said the center under consideration, which is within a mile of campus, is currently licensed to house 64 children. The service, for children aged 2 to 5, would be available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and would include full and part-time care. But no drop-in care would be provided. Fees would be lower than the "market rate," according to Beauchamp, and would run approximately $20 a day. The university's long-term plans call for opening an oncampus facility within the next few years. The site, near the present Public Safety Office, already has been selected. Associated Students, Inc., will be required to pay the estimated. $500,000 cost of building a road to the facility, according to Alex Ramirez, the group's vice president for internal affairs. "We are actively soliciting donors," said Ramirez. A private donor had been lined up to cover that cost but backed out when former President Bill Stacy departed for Tennessee last summer, he added. But even if private donors can be found to cover the road costs, Ramirez said, the university has not guaranteed funding to build the center. The need for child care is perhaps more acute at CSUSM than other state universities. According to Carmen Villa at Enrollment Services, the median age for CSUSM students is 28.7, several years higher than at most other CSU campuses. Beauchamp estimates that as many as 160 CSUSM students may need the service. There is some tangible, immediate relief for students who need the service. Currently, 15 $500 scholarships are available this semester to qualified students. Those interested are urged to contact the Financial Aid office as soon as possible, since the application deadline is Nov. 3. Beauchamp said she also needs volunteers to serve on the committee dealing with child care issues. Anyone interested can phone her at (760) 750-4990, or e-mail her at beauc002@mailhostl .csusm.edu. Need a check cashed, apaper faxed, a discount movie ticket, a bus pass or just a stamp? You can get them all at the Associated Students Center (Commons 205). The center's new executive director, Darlene Willis, said her goal is to provide service to CSUSM students while promoting awareness of campus issues. "The average age of students here is between 27 and 28, and many work full-time and have families," she said. "We must consider this when setting up programs so we can assist in areas of greatest concern. Check-cashing is the center's most popular new service. Even though there is an ATM on campus, the minimum withdrawal is $20. Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), will cash checks for up to $15freeat the center. All that's needed is a picture I.D. and student card. Willis says the center's immediate goal is to be recognized as the student voice of the campus. "We want to make the transition into campus life as smooth and successful as possible, and we hope to be a resource center throughout the college careers of our students." The center also provides 15 child-care scholarships, plus entry to the university's intramural sports program. The center can provide advice on how to save when buying a computer. Willis says representatives also are talk- see Student Center page 3 �Student Center ing with local merchants to provide discounts on other merchandise. The Student Lounge (Commons 201) also may be changed, Willis says. It's now used furnished with a few tables, TV, microwave, and a couple of couches. Willis says the center is looking for suggestions on how to improve both its focus and furnishings. Associated Students is composed of representatives from every CSUSM college, including graduate studies, who are charged with learning the wants and concerns of students to pass along to the ASI board. Continued from Page 2 Open-forum sessions for students to voice their views are routinely held at the beginning of ASI meetings every other Friday at 2 p.m. Notice of meetings, agendas and minutes of meetings can be requested by email. Though the center's hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., night students can set up appointments by calling the center in advance at (760) 750-4990. "Students are the lifeblood of this university. They pay our salaries and deserve the best we can provide," Wilis says. Student Health Services FLU CLINICS II.'

Darlene Willis of Associated Students suggests that students pick up a Student Guidebook in the Associated Students office in Commons 205. "There are a lot of coupons in there," said Willis. "Students should come by and see what's offered." The guidebook offers such coupons as 2- for-1 free lunches at Carl's Jr., KFC, and Rally's. Or a $1.99 lunch at Subway. Or free popcorn at Pacific Theaters. In addition, many other local theaters have student rates. Just show your student ID. For the ultimate relaxation, spend a day at the Wild Animal Park or San Diego Zoo. A student pass is available for $22 and is good for an entire year. More goodies are in the works, according to Willis. The Associated Students aie looking into half-price discounts from Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Sea World, Family Fun Centers, Magic Mountain and Disneyland. Many of these will require bulk ticket purchases by the college (25 or more), so Willis suggests students drop by her office to express their interest. �Do You Have What it Takes? WE WANT Y OU!

K NOX f T ^ h e villain enters ever so quietly and so quickly that most people remain oblivious to its presence. Once J L inside and undetected, it is free to wander to do more damage. Every year, more than 184,000 women fall victim to breast cancer and approximately 44,300 pay for their ignorance with their lives. Breast cancer, incidentally, is not a disease afflicting women only: Some 1,400 men are diagnosed with it annually, a low figure, but one that is certainly not inconsequential. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it's timely to remind everyone that self-examination can be critical. Some 90 percent of those diagnosed with the disease in its early stages survice. And, self-examination is not that difficult. No one is too young to be a victim. The Seattle Breast Cancer Center recommends that every woman have a clinical breast exam s tardn^j^^^^^flisk increases dramatically with age: i ^ ^ p l ^ W ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ a n Cancer Society, a 2 0-year^jpas a probability o f ' 1 ^ ^ 5 0 0 of devel- 40 or o ldJpave a 10-year probability of 1 Reseaifgjfers in Norway followed the h ealtWf 25,000 women (||pr a nine-year period to determine | |§in active lifestyle l ^ p s block breast cancer.

Knowing . .. and following . .. a three-step examination is essential to fight breast cancer: (1) See your health care provider for a clinical breast exam every three years, starting at age 20. (2) Examine your breasts every month, two or three days after your period. (3) Get a baseline mammogram at age 40 and have one every year thereafter. Nobody knows what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it: yet. The American Cancer Society has come up with key factors shown to increase breast cancer risk, including estrogen levels, pregnancy after age 35 or not at all, late menopause, personal and family history, obesity, excessive alcohol use and excessive diet fat. Smoking, miscarriage and hormonal replacement therapy are potential factors still under investigation. Regardless of the cause, early detection is the best de fense. Ask the more han 1.6 million breast cancer survivors. T Tt's easy to rationalize. You think: it's only a CD. Or a I late-night pizza. Or a T-shirt—which, by the way, IS J Lon sale. What harm could it do to charge it or write that check? Unfortunately, spending on seemingly small purchases, o ften non-emergency i tems, can add up quickly and - . .... throw budgets into h avoc, say debt counselors. That's why stuJ dents should get in J | | the habit now of taking s teps to cut | J | spending and reduce their debt, says Tess Van Duvall, debt management consultant at Emory University. Laying a f oundation f or good f inancial health while in college can make life easier after graduation, she says. Whether they are 18-year-old freshmen getting their first credit card or among the older students returning to campus, many students in college find themselves facing an array of financial obligations, says Van Duvall. "Students need to realize that they are entering a time of limited income and maximum expenditures, so cutting costs in lots of areas can only add to theirfinancialwell-being," she says. Van Duvall gives the following tips on how students can better manage their finances and avoid long-term debt during those early career years: • Eliminate or reduce credit card balances. "As a student with limited income, the last thing you need is to be paying past debts," says Van Duvall. • If you have a credit card or student a loan, learn how to read a credit report. "If there are errors on your credit card report, they need to be corrected, because it can affect your credit card rating and even keep you from getting lower interest rate loans," says Van Duvall. Many lending organizations are adopting a practice called "credit scoring," which judges each individual student borrower, instead of lumping s tudents from one university into the same financial l ending category. With credit scoring, says Van Duvall, "one 30-day late p ayment can I ff make a difference in Hf your interest rate." • Be aware of credit card annual interest rates, and remember the real cost ofusing a credit card. "When students are tempted to make a $1,000 purchase with a credit card, they should remember that the annual interest on even a 12 percent APR card pushes the price to $1,120," says Van Duvall. "Always think of the total cost of a purchase and ask, 'Do I still want this?"^ • If you can eat it, wear it or listen to it, it isn't an emergency and shouldn't be put on credit. • If possible, pay more than the minimum monthly payments to creditors. Van Duvall also advises students to be budget conscious about little things, such as buying frozen pizza instead of take-out, taking advantage of on-campus and free entertainment, and sending e-mail versus making long-distance calls. But her No. 1 piece of advice to students is to get a roommate instead of renting alone. A savings of $300-$400 a month on rent over a three- or four-year period adds up to big bucks, she says, and can keep you from having to borrow more heavily to make ends meet. l lpifcM-stayingan I budget mmrnmmmm �m iili iijm-Sjijj^Sj • • JJJ sjfters.

I did have the spent the next class answertime now and seemed to have enough energy. Why not? I ing.

CSUSM's new p resident, Alexander Gonzalez, recently established a Web site that is one of the first applications of this new technology. The site uses an innovative mix of Internet media that makes a visit to his "Virtual Office" not only informative, but fast, easy, and entertaining. The president's page features a fiveminute video update that uses Vxtreme. The plan is to record a new update every two weeks to keep the campus community informed. Most importantly, it can be accessed by personal computers using the popular Windows95 and Macintosh operating systems, although performance requirements do limit its use to newer machines. CSUSM multimedia specialist Chuck Allen hopes to use streaming web video to provide classes over the WWW. In the past, such videos were too large and time-consuming to download over the web. It just was not a practical application for most computers. Using streaming video, most modern PC's with a 28.8 modem can download videos and other graphics relatively rapidly. The software also has random access capabilities. So, for example, if someone wants to listen to the portion of the president's presentation on the budget, the viewer can skip to that specific part of the video with the touch of a button. First-time users must first install a plugin for the popular Netscape or Internet Explorer web browsers to use the streaming video capability. But the process is simple. Other information on the president's Web page includes a legislative update with photos of Gonzalez' recent trip to Sacramento. The text of recent speeches to the community is also available. The site was developed as part of the president's goal to improve and clarify communication on the campus. Vxtreme, Inc. of Sunnyvale, California (www.vxtreme.com), the developer of the Vxtreme product, was recently acquired by Microsoft Corporation and is in the process of moving to their Redmond, Washington site. Viewers can find Virtual Office, which will be updated regularly, at: h ttp:// www.csusm.edu/President/ THE FRONT ROW? ARE YOU KIDDING? ;h, Why do you g o to class? Hopefully the answer is somewhat obvious. Think through it for a minute thougl because the next rr Question may not be Quite s o easy. Here goes: Why would you care enough to g o to class but not sit up EFont? In most college classes you can sit wherever you want, but the perennial location of choice seems to be in the back half of the classroom. Itthere are five (or fifty) empty seats, they will invariably be in the first few rows, with none open in the rear. If you care enough to show up. foregoing very meaningful opportunities, such as sleep, why wouldn't you attempt to get the absolute most out of it? if it relates to your - image." give it up. People who get ereat jobs after graduation are infinitely more "hip" than those asking "would you like to super-size that, sir?" in their first job out of school. Believe it or not. there is good reason to believe that sitting up front may lead to better career options. There are actual research studies that show that students who sit in front get better grades than students who hug the back wall. They are forced to pay attention, as it is tough to fall asleep if you're 10 feet from the prof. Front row types tend to ask more Questions, receiving immediate clarification on points of confusion. And guess what - their professors will recognize them (and know that they regularly come to class) if they g o in to negotiate a better grade on a test ^ or assignment. Sure it may be more difficult to work a crossword puzzle rient under a professors nose, but that's exactly tne point. You're not in school to leam the six letter word for "nose hair."

CSUSM names first Fenstermaker scholarships SUSM recently named the first nine recipients of the Fenstermaker Foundation's scholarships. Each student received between $4,400 and $7,000 for a total of $55,000. By far the largest scholarships at CSUSM, a highly competitive process was developed to select the best and brightest students. This year's recipients are: Elaine De Los Santos, a junior in computer science from Oceanside Shannon Halloff, a junior in biology from San Marcos Trenton Norris, a junior in biology from Vista Cheyenne Reyes, afreshmanin biology from Escondido Aimee Reynolds, a junior in biologyfromCamp Pendleton Tracy Ross, a junior in biology from Bonsall Joseph Spirito, a freshman in computer science from Oceanside Roberta Sweeney, a senior in biology from Aliso Viejo Patricia Wade, a junior in biology from Encinitas The prestigious scholarships were funded by Larry and Neva Fenstermaker, who established the Foundation with the primary purpose of benefitting CSUSM. The Fenstermakers were among the first residents of Rancho Bernardo, moving therefromPoint Loma in 1963. Larry Fenstermaker was a retired printing and publications executive who died at age 91 in 1995. His wife of more than 50 years, Neva, died in 1994. They did not have any children. Neither Larry nor Neva were able to go to college for financial reasons. They valued education and wanted to • give bright students the opportunities that they did not have. They established the Fenstermaker Foundation to achieve this goal. Each year the interest earned on the money they donated will go to scholarships for needy and deserving students in the areas of biology, chemistry, or computer science. -CSUSM- DON'T RUSH A FRATERNITY, START YOUR OWN!

But life didn't always flow so smoothly for the Salvadoran native. As a young girl, her middle-class family sent her to the United States to further her education. "As a child, I left San Salvador to go school in Missouri and live on a dairy farm," she said. "It was very different from what I was used to. I was the only Latina in a town of 2,000. Not only was I Latina, but I was Catholic, which was considered very strange in a state that was predominantly Protestant and Baptist." After school, Benitez Continued living in the United States, teaching Spanish and English at both high school and university levels. She also worked as a translator for a training company in Minnesota that required extensive travel to Latin America. Burnout ensued. "I got very tired and sort of stressed out, so I decided to take a writing class," she You can earn said. "We met every Tuesday and I started to write little vignettes.

Enterprise rent-a-car �Soul Food continued from page 11 respects all the hot-tempered adults in his family. He's just a good kid all around. Despite his pre-adolescent age, he's more levelheaded than any of the adults in his family. During the sometimes-comical turbulence, Ahmad's maturity keeps you empathetic; his narrative voice is a constant reminder that he's not immune to pain. The point of view is cleverly shifted throughout, maintaining both Ahmad's innocence and a level of necessary reality, such as bits of "behind-the-scenes" sex and violence. The way the characters fit loosely into stereotypical family roles provides for a point of reference that just about anyone can relate to. You've got the sibling rivalry going in a big way. Ten (Vanessa L. Williams), the oldest sister, is a successful lawyer but a flop at relationships. Maxine (Vivica A. Fox), the middle child, is a happy wife and mother, albeit less educationally and financially endowed The two are quick to point out what the other lacks, whether it's over the dinner table or over grandma's hospital bed. You've also got the well-meaning-but airheaded baby sister (Nia Long), nicknamed 'Bird.' No sooner does Bird turn around in her trendy hair salon, but her unsolicited favors backfire in her face. Among other things, with one of these favors, she inadvertently questions the manliness of her bad-boy-turned-good-husband. Then, of course, what family would be complete without the sleazy relative (in this case a cousin) who ducks in and out of the city just long enough to borrow some money and/or destroy a few marriages. It soon becomes clear this family is anything but typical as one by one the characters break out of their stereotypical shells. The passionate, opinionated people differ from most in that they don't bite tongues. The dramatics begin in the hilarious opening scene with Big Mama's remedy to prevent her newly wedded son-in-law from dancing with his scantily clad ex. Ironically, the same fried food that binds this tumultuous bunch provokes an illness in Big Mama, scattering the relatives into immediate family chaos. The family is then put to the test, but, try as they may, Big Mama's peacekeeping antics just aren't as easy to pull off. The film borders on comball with the inclusion of a 'hidden fortune' cliche, but it's easily overlooked with the characters and their dialogue.

Black Faculty Organized (BFO), a group that represents all nine of the university's black professors, accused the university of practicing institutional racism, after i he first incident. In a statement, BFO said, "Deeply embedded institutional racism has contributed to the creation of a hostile working environment" at CSUSM. The O ct. 21 "Teach-in" was created to bring the campus community together and address these allegations in the open. It was a day-long event featuring guest speakers, workshops and entertainment aimed at addressing the issue of racism. In recent weeks, other incidents involving the first professor also are being investigated by the university, including an attempted break-in at the professor's house and a bomb threat at the apartment complex of her student teaching assistant. * Staff photo/ The Pride In the aftermath of the swastika graffiti, The Palomar Pomerado Health Systems building, located across Twin Oaks Valley rd. from Cal State San Marcos/will house new Student Health Services offices. university President Bill Stacy scheduled a Move date finalized Palomar offers child daycare By Donna Gonzales Pride S taff Writer Dr. Fritz Kreisler's column returns.

Student shows slides of revolutionist army study By Paul Hilker Pride S taff Writer Loud bursts of gun-fire punctuated the dense tropical air, but the jungle humidity muffled the ensuing cries of Mexican peasants. *This was the scene near Aguas Blancas, a small town in the state of Guerrero, Mexico where 17 people were massacred on June 18, 1995. Christine Powell, a student of Mexican history from Cal State San Marcos, visited the site this summer to investigate and report on the turmoil of political and public relations in Guerrero. She traveled to a town near Acapulco to report on political processes and the up-rise of the EPR rebel army (the Popular Revolutionary Army). Backed by a human rights organization called Global Exchange, her group consisted of a few college students and two members of the Global Exchange program. Since her return, Powell has given eight presentations, including slides in classes at C SUSM. They r eveal social a gitation steadily increasing because of unstable relations between the lower classes and the Mexican government. The root of the conflict lies in the division between campesinos, or peasants, and the wealthy upper-class. The government perpetuates this agitation through neglecting the needs of much of Guerreros population by focusing exclusively on favoring the wealthy, according to Powell. In actuality, the entire Mexican political systems stability is threatened by the rise of EPR. Mexican politics are fashioned after the U.S. system of government. Though the country operates on democratic ideals, Mexican politicians show favor to their sources of financial support-wealthy land and corporation owners.

Statewide committees need students Program teaches special s tudents f unctional skills By Kathy Simpson Pride Staff Writer Have you e ver thought of the entire university as your classroom? F or one group of students, every aspect of c ampus life o ffers an chance t o learn. You've probably seen them. Waiting f or the elevator, eating lunch in the cafeteria, or in the restrooms. They are college-aged students enrolled in a special education class at Sierra Vista High School. They provide janitorial services on the CSUSM campus f our days a week—but, at the same time they use the c ampus as a classroom and learning envirorment. T he program, started by John Hull, gives these students the opportunity to learn, side by side with their non-disabled peers. They learn what Hull calls "critical skills." Each student has his o r her individual curriculum, based on their strengths and weaknesses. T he goal is to prepare them f or l ife a fter school. Part of this program includes developing vocational skills, since they enter the j ob market a fter they graduate. Currently, they provide custodial services to CSUSM, f or which they are paid. They work about nine hours a week. Another part of the program is teaching the students how to e njoy their money and leisure time. On their day o ff, they o ften take the bus to San Marcos to do some shopping, have lunch, or j ust hang out. They practice accessing the community. "This program i sn't f or all the students at Sierra Vista," said Hull. "Not all students would benefit f rom the prdg&fftt;" :c r i v sizlzztti: i Those chosen f or the class are the ones j udged most likely to benefit f rom this experience. T he instructors are specially trained to deal with these students. "We d on't teach this class in a classroom because a classroom i sn't the same as the way things are in the real world," says Hull. "The program focuses on skills that are functional. U seful stuff f or the real world. How to shop. How to use the bus. Getting around safely. Work skills. Appropriate behavior." Hull and his assistant, Kathy DeLar feel itfs important that the students be exposed to their non-disabled peers. "We learn more f rom our peers than anyone else. CSUSM students model the behavior of non-disabled young adults. T he types of behaviors we want our students to learn,i says DeLar. By being out in the community, the students can o bserve how p eople their o wn age act, interact, and behave. CSUSM was selected a s a site f or this program partly because the school is new and t he program will b e able to grow with the school, and also because of Please see Program, pg. 7 What if y bu had f ive times t he expenses that y our budget ^ an c bver?

TZe&ecca as hate actions hurt the victims, so they hurt the community at large. Such actions say to all of us that differences based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation are not acceptable, and that it may even be dangerous to b e d ifferent. Such behaviors drive us all to stick to our own kind, to be suspicious, to f eel unwelcome. What can I d o if I see or hear such expressions of hatred? Whether we are witnesses to hate actions or targets of them, the most important thing that each of us can and must do is report the incident to CSUSM Public Safety (750-3111). Even if the incident is small and you are unsure if it "counts" as a crime, report it. Let Public Safety decide whether it is a crime—they are trained to make these judgments. Moreover, the Public Safety o ffice is the one place where A LL information can b e centrally gathered, and therefore serves the campus by taking the pulse of the frequency and severity of such actions. What will happen to m e if I report it? T he Public Safety o fficer will simply interview you and try to get as much factual information as possible about the event. In most cases, nothing else will occur. In some cases, where an actual crime has happened, you may b e asked to testify at some later time. T he Public Safety o ffice will be extremely supportive towards anyone who f eels at risk in such a situation. What else can I do? In recent weeks, the campus f ocus has been on hate crimes and incidents that are based upon race. We are aware of other incidents that target lesbian, gay, and bisexual students. Please remember that expressions of hostility based on sexual orientation are similarly hateful. T here is a c ampus G ay/Lesbian/Bisexual Support Team comprised of students, faculty, and s taff. This group aims t o support G/L/B members of our campus c ommunity and to make the campus a s afe place f or all, a place f ree of hatred targeted towards sexual orientation. The G / L/B Support Team recommends that if anyone witnesses o r is the victim of hate incidents or crimes directed towards the G/L/B population, that they report it to the team in addition to reporting to Public Safety. T he team will compile information on hate activities based on sexual orientation, and will work with Public Safety towards providing safety f or all students. Let the team know of such hate activities by contacting P rofessor Don Barrett (Sociology, x 4161), Fritz Kreisler (CAPS, x4910), Linda Shaw (Sociology, x8026) or Henry Aronson (EOP, x4861). You may d o so by phone, note o r e-mail, and the team will accept anonymous reports. Fritz Kreisler is the Coordinator of Counseling & Psychological Services. ^tanc/uvuL 0f p UCf TZtiei&len, What ever happened to the good old days when teachers taught and students, well, d idn't?

So why is chological Services (CAPS) did a workshop on how to everybody trying to screw it u p? I 'm talking, of course, about peer groups. You know, cope with hate that i s directed at someone because of their those ridiculous little groups that we are forced to take race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. An important part in so that our teachers d on't have to d o any work issue that came up in our discussions was: what d o you d o themselves. W e're thrown together with f our or f ive other when you witness a hate crime or are the victim of o ne? students (we d on't even get to choose who they are) and Everyone agreed that such acts are deplorable, but how should we react to t hem? then told to critique each o ther's work. Some students f elt that the perpetrator should be conNow, on t he s urface, this all may sound innocent fronted on the spot, that the targeted person or group should enough.

They d idn't want enced p rofessor, trained in the subject matter, taught m e to put their own safety in jeopardy, yet they also d idn't what I needed to learn. T hat's why they get the big bucks, want to sit idly by and let it happen. While the f ocus of our workshop was on coping with hate that is directed at and t hat's why I pay them. I 've been in groups with people who d idn't bother to racial groups, the same rules apply to hate crimes and inwrite a p aper, but asked the rest of the group to cover f or cidents directed towards lesbians, gay, and bisexuals, or them if t he t eacher w alked by.

For the victims, there are not only threats to right t o show them my work as I see f it. Brainstorming with a g roup of p eople whose work I admire is one of my personal safety or property, but also clear messages that favorite things to d o and o ften brings to the surface some their lives and comfort are consistently endangered.

I mean, come on, it is the 90's. When campus members began coming forward with testimony of their own perseverances of racial hate, it was very easy to question the validity of what seemed such outlandish claims; especially at a university taking such pride in its mission of promoting ethnic diversity. Mission or no, there is a problem on campus. Graffiti on bathroom walls can be called isolated incidents, attributed to single, unassociated delinquents. Perhaps other attention depraved, maturity lacking persons could have added a swastika here or there, just to see if their malformed "art" would land a spot in the local papers the following morning. Some may be able to rationalize a student's vocal lashing of a professor in racial terms. I have heard people portray what might almost be called sympathy for the student in question, deeming that the professor's teaching was somehow provocative. But how can one explain threatening phone calls made to a student? I met with a student last month who confessed to being threatened over the phone. He also knew of at least two other students who had been threatened for their views on Affirmative Action programs. I do not question the presence of racism on this campus any longer. You can question the presence of institutionalized racism in the administrative ranks. It is, even those who believe it exists at Cal State San Marcos agree, hard to pinpoint. Are blatant acts so easy to grasp that they cannot be taken seriously? Perhaps many of us have seen too much graffiti to take seriously personal threats taking a similar form on bathroom walls. This situation is not limited to ju veniles spray painting swastikas on stall doors. Students and faculty are being threatened. The views of those being threatened are really unimportant. This university is designed to be a place where varying opinions can come together to create a better environment for all to learn and prosper. The emergence of racism needs to be taken seriously by every person on campus, whether we are dealing with three or 30 racist individuals.

Please recycle this newspaper To the Editor: * - Tam writing in response to the article written; about me in the November 13th edition of the Pride. When interviewing for this article I was very excited about sharing some of the incredible learning experiences involved in studying abroad through a recognized international program. After reading the article, I was disappointed by the slant that Ms. Gonzales puts on my experience abroad. This casts a poor image upon the program, generally, and me, specifically. I would like to highlight just a few of the important experiences that I emphasized in my interview, but were short changed in print. First, what were described as "side trips," were actually field studies for which I had extensively prepared. The Russia and Estonian trip was an extension of two classes: Russian Politics and Society and Nationalism and Minorities in Europe. In Russia we visited the University in Moscow and met with students where we partook in a round table discussion of stereotypes that each nationality had grown up with about each other. In Moscow we also visited the editor of an arts magazine and learned about the enforced propaganda and censoring of the past and present. Visiting Estonia, one of thefirstcountries that broke away from the Soviet Union, was amazing. This was especially interesting to me because of the research that I had been doing right before on the relations between Estonians and the Russian minority. Just being in Estonia and taking part in the programs involved in our trip really brought my research to life. The trip we took to northern Germany focused on the Danish minority that was established officially at the end of W.W.II. Included in the northern Germany trip was a visit to the NATO base in Jutland(the main part of Denmark). The day that we were there some Danish soldiers that had died while participating in NATO maneuvers were brought home, making it a day that I will always remember. Studying abroad is a complete experience, it is full of good and bad times, new friends and unfamiliar surroundings. After having studied 'abroad through many programs I have come to appreciate the year abroad program offered through the Cal State system. Cal State wants you to go f or a whole year because the principle is that you will get much more out of a year experience than just a semester. I can vouch for this concept. By the time November came around and it was pitch dark at 3 pm, I wasn't so excited about making it through the whole winter. But the experience was invaluable. I didn't give up and go home or hate Denmark. By staying the whole year I finally understood what the fever was about spring, I could understand what the check-out clerk at the grocery store had been yelling at me all year(it wasn't that she didn't like me, there was a pasta special on isle four)and most importantly through the Danish friendships that I developed I realized It would be wrong to go home with any negative stereotypes. Studying abroad is definitely more than fun and games. My experience last year gave me a new outlook on life academically, politically and personally. Learning to live in a new culture is exciting, challenging and rewarding. That is why the article written by Ms. Gonzales disappointed me. The experiences that I shared with her in my interview were taken too lightly and my year looks empty of all the hard work that went along with those good times. I d on't want students to read the article and think that studying abroad is an excuse to party and travel for a year and then get over there and be shocked with the realities. Cal State Offers year long programs in sixteen countries around the globe, from Australia to Zimbabwe. Majors are endless and in many countries like Denmark a language prerequisite is not required. I support these programs fully and encourage all students to study abroad.

P erhaps your readers would like to hear the other side of the story. Jill Ballard had gained a reputation in the c susm.flame war newsgroup, of being arrogant, rude, and intolerant of anybody w ho's views d iffered even slightly f rom h er's. B ased u pon my o bservations and dealings with M s. Ballard, i t's a well d eserved reputation. In her letter, she makes comments about being accused of "racism, d iscrimination, a nd d ictatorship". L et's look at these charges, shall we ? T he posting that led to her access being restricted was one that she posted in her role as president of the "Vegan & Animal Rights c lub", calling f or a boycott of the GSUSM Pow Wow, d ue to the f act that, in her words, " Some of the people there wear f ur in their hair". W hen it was pointed out that the Native American garb in question was based upon traditional designs and customs, her c omment w as that " no culture is primitive enough to deserve wearing f ur." W hile this might not b e racism per se, it certainly does show a incredible amount of arrogance regarding her views & ideas, and a incredible amount of intolerance and disrespect of the culture, history, and traditions oTahbther group.

I merely e xpressed an opinion on c susm.flamewar, excuse m e Rauch, it was not an invitation f or you (a LTWR graduate student) to misinterpret and grossly misquote my words. Did anyone notice how Rauch foiled to cite his sources of my supposedly discriminatory claims? So then Rauch claimed that I claimed that if I "were forced to allow such people to j oin," I "would not include them in club mailers, meetings, or activities." Lie number three! BALD faced lie. I NEVER EVER made such a claim nor have I ever, or even had the desire to d iscriminate a nyone w ho w anted t hem f rom receiving the club's announcements. There are 30 people on the club's e mailing list, all of whom have different diets and beliefs. Even one of them is an a dvocate of vivisection, but d o I m ind? Why should I? A s long as nobody tries to hinder the club f rom carrying out its f unctions then all people are welcome. A fter all these lies Rauch, a self admitted practicing speciesist, had the nerve to conclude his ietter by equating my "behavior" (according to his lies and value j udgments) to something he hoped students understood on "Oct. 21st." Please see False, Pg. 8 Carriovore agrees animal are different M s. Ballard, While sitting in the D ome, I read your letter t o the editor, R emember a nimals (The Pride, 10/30)." Dinning on a most delightful cheeseburger, I pondered your points with grease and ketchup-smeared fingers. " Animals a re d ifferentia1 d ifferent species," you claimed. I agree animal species are d ifferent. Cow meat does taste much d ifferent f rom chicken, and is certainly d ifferent in taste f rom deer. I have, h owever, f ound that liberal a mounts of ketchup will usually solve most of these taste-related d ifferences (see above). As to your statement, "Violence is violence no matter how you slice, dice, chop, o r cut i t," I must object. Watching my f ather artfully cutting slices of turkey b efore the a dmiring e yes of my f amily d uring Thanksgiving dinner is enough to bring m e t o tears. How could p lacing a p iece of breast meat, o r perhaps a bit of dark m eat, on the plate of a wide-eyed child b e c on- strued as violence? And how could the resulting t urkey l eftovers—turkey s andwiches, turkey noodle s oup, and turkey jerkey—all made by my m other's loving hands, be deemed the outcomes of violence? Even though I disagreed with your letter on one or two points, I hope you know that I 'll miss your thought-provoking letters and flyers-—seemingly posted everywhere here at CSUSM—when you graduate in December, and I pray that you w on't try to put Heinz out of business a lso—I need the ketchup. Herman Jones Junior Liberal Studies Is The Pride's staff chocked by success of a woman? Dear Editor, While reading the November 13th issue of T he Pride, I f ound the title of the article "Woman film maker t o speak" by Paul Hilker to be particularly interesting. Is it such a surprise to have a woman m aking f ilms that the fact was required in the title of the article? Or d o w e j ust assume that all film makers are men unless specifically identifies otherwise? I noticed she was African-American as well, so m aybe you should Have pointed out that an " African-American Woman film m aker" w as giving a speech. A f ew pages later, an article discussed how "Jordan's new film educates, entertains" did not require gender identification in t he title. N or was Jordan's ethnic background mentioned in the article. Likewise, t he article a nnouncing R udolfo A naya's reading lacked specific mention of his gender or ethnicity, despite the f act that writes o n t he "cultural heritage of New Mexico." Personally, I f ound myself m ore interested in which specific cultural heritage h e was writing about, and I consider such information to be f ar m ore relevant than the information imparted about Julie Dash's film m aking. I find D ash's s uccess f ar m ore worthy of announcement than her gender o r ethnicity. I hope in the f uture the staff of T he Pride will c ease to be so shocked by the success of a woman that they feel the need t o point out such things in the title of articles. Christine M . W.

It isn't the stuff of legend, but it was popular, and sold a lot of albums. O n h is n ew a lbum, " Mr. H appy G o L ucky," Mellencamp creates a more layered album than any of his previous efforts, while still maintaining the small town mentality that d efines him. Mellencamp pooled his talents with New York dance club mixer Junior Vasquez, who co-produced the album, giving it a strange mix between rock and roll and disco. I t's a subtle mix, as the synthetic beat d oesn't intrude with the conventional drumming or the jangly guitars. T he album is very deceptive f rom the beginning. T he title "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" seems to suggest a little cynicism and irony, as this is Mellencamp's first album since his fairly recent heart attack. At first glance, the title seems to express the j oy of surviving a serious health problem, but there is something much deeper. T he album's ten songs are also peppy and happygo-lucky on t he s urface. They b ear t he M idwestern storytelling and simplicity of life that most Mellencamp songs possess, but in a more edgy fashion. One of the most deceptive songs on the album i s "Full Catastrophe." While its chorus, " I'm glad to say I 've e njoyed everyday of the f ull catastrophe of l ife," may sound triumphant, it also doubles as a reflection on Mellencamp's brush with death. He keeps his music f rom becoming weepy or tragic, disregarding the meaning of a lyric f or the sake of rock and roll. Also suggestive of death is the a lbum's cover, which features Mellencamp and two young children sitting in f ront of what appear to be Jesus Christ and the Devil. Aside f rom being very a interesting photograph, it,too, has a double meaning. Mellencamp may reflect on his scars, but he does not dwell on them. His mid-life diary, no matter how you dissect it* still sounds like good rock and roll. His music continues to i mprove on each album. "Mr. Happy G o L ucky" is not without its flaws, but the f laws go thoroughly unnoticed.

'First Contact' is most accessable Trek Earn MP, experience By Gabe Lundeen Pride S taff Writer As any "Star Trek" fan can attest to, not every "Star Trek" movie has heid cinematic merit, or even been semi-entertaining. It almost seems that i t's done on purpose; the best "Trek" movies have all been the even-numbered ones. "Star Trek: First Contact," the eighth movie in the "Star Trek" series, continues this tradition. It is the first movie to f eature the cast of "Star Trek: T he Next Generation" alone, and it upholds the high standards of the award-winning television series. T he movie features the B org, one of " Star T rekis" most popular (and one-dimensional) villains. T he Borg are a race b ent on d estruction and assimilation of other cultures, with the motto, "Resistance is f utile." In "First Contact," the Borg travel to the past to destroy Earth and assimilate it, and the crew of the USS Enterprise must stop them and save humanity. "First C ontact" is extraordinarily violent f or a "Star Trek" movie. T his is some- what of an exception f or the "Next G eneration" cast who normally rely on diplomacy and peace to resolve their problems, and only use firepower as a last resort. Although the plot calls f or violence, it is not graiuiious, and is d one in an exciting f ashion. The trend of violence also is evident in the n ew s hip, t he U SS E nterprise-E. While the Enterprise-D (the ship used in the television show and destroyed at the end of "Star Trek: Generations") was larger, swan-like and representative of peace, the n ew m odel i s s mall, a erodynamic and streamlined f or war. T he new ship looks and acts m ore like a weapon and less like an envoy, c ontradicting the central idea behind "Star Trek: T he Next Generation." B ut o ther t han t he v iolence i ssue, " First C ontact" i s a g reat " Star T rek" movie. People often d o not give "Star Trek" its due, because of its large f an base and its science fiction slant. It really d oesn't get the respect it deserves. The cast is, o nce again, intact f rom the s eries a nd f ull o f f ine a ctors. P atrick S tewart, w ho p lays C aptain J ean-Luc P icard* i s a c lassically-trained Shakespearean actor, and provides another stellar performance that holds the movie together. Brent Spiner, as Data, is an e xcellent character actor, and really gets to display this talent throughput the movie. Making appearances in f ront of and behind the camera is Jonathan Frakes, who plays First Commander William Riker and also directs "First Contact." Frakes directed a number of episodes f rom the series, and c ontinues Leonard N imoy's tradition of starring in and directing "Star T rek" movies quite well. Of course, if y ou're a Trekkie, you are bound to e njoy the movie more. Fans will appreciate the restored elements f rom the show, such as the deadpan humor of Worf or Captain P icard's affectation f or hardboiled detective stories. But being a f an is not necessarily a prerequisite. Any action movie aficionado will enjoy "First Contact," because on the surface, i t's a good action movie. But "Star T rek" fans will enjoy it even more, as the demand f or a "Next Generation" movie has been high. "Star Trek: First C ontact" might b e the most accessible "Star T rek" movie yet, and it is certainly o ne of the best. Workingfor The Pride!

In f act, sirs, I suggest that even if you cannot prove that your clients did in fact perform a simple medical procedure legal under our current court system, you have a c ompelling a rgument in t his a rena a s w ell—aren't all babies nonviable? W hat h appens if you l eave a baby alone f or several d ays? It starves to death. It is eaten by wild animals. It dies of disease. In fact, this holds true up until children are at least thirteen, although f or the strictest definition of viability, the ability to survive on o ne's o wn, humans cannot be considered viable until they are out on their own, working. Sirs, I suggest that you raise the challenge all the way to the Supreme C ourt of t hese U nited S tates! A mother still has a choice long a fter the baby has breached her birth canal, f or it remains a nonviable tissue mass for quite some time. Justice Ginsberg would agree, sirs, that this is merely one m ore example of the government trying to intrude on a w oman's right to choose. W hat right h ave we, the p eople, to deny this mother her choice?

Bringing a child to school may be the only alternative when daycare arrangements fall through or do not coordinate with class schedules. Since the average age of students at this university is 29, many students have preschool < children that require daycare supervision. Along with the challenge of attending school, these students also face the difficult task of finding affordable, convenient, and safe childcare. Unfortunately, CSUSM is the only university in the state system that offers no childcare facilities for its students. For the past two years, CSUSM student, Angela Lowder, has worked with the Associated Students, to provide a solution to the childcare problem. Since new laws restrict the State of California from funding the construction of any future childcare facilities, this burden has fallen on the students. Lowder has taken up this chalnumagentftt^ lenge and succeeded in establishing a fund President, Bill Stacy, >;^ ^^-a' ^ which has raised $25,000 towards the development of a daycare facility. However, Lowder explained that finding a suitable location to establish a center has proved to c Myouha^di&er^daiice^.bti^ • § f r o m r e g i o n . ^ T W ^ . j ^ s h ^ ^ be the greatest problem. A location on I^eai^;the s ame jjl^ campus has proved to be too costly. EstiM mi^;.;-' mates could range as high as a million dollars to construct a building and provide &f ^ all the necessary services to the site. Louder has examined several sites offered by Cal' i tem i s a r ed 1 994 St&irtdi Si<tekick p mvided ^ l l i e g oal o f t he e ventis; t&E&ise Trans, but each location has proved unsuitt he fcalfgo able.

Speaker to Talk on Alcohol Use Without Abuse Every year, millions of Americans and their families are adversely affected in some way by alcohol abuse. Yet, many people would find it difficult or impossible to define alcohol abuse. Chances are your answer would differ from that of the person sitting next to you. So what is a "safe" level of alcohol use? What happens when you get a DUI? Can you be arrested for driving after having one drink? And what about the new DUI law that passed in January? Soon you will have a chance to have these and other questions answered by an expert. On Tuesday, April 12, Student Health Services is sponsoring a presentation entitled "Alcohol Use Without Abuse" featuring guest speaker Rafael Thomson. Mr. Thomson 'April ..

Well, it is true that the CSUSM Alumni Association does need your money in order to operate, but it is the Association's goal to provide some real benefits for all its members, especially those of you who are newly graduated. During the next year, you may be surprised how often you feel the need to utilize the resources of the campus. Perhaps you will need to use the computer lab or the library or want to attend one of the Arts and Lectures events on campus. Maybe you want to find out what someone in your Psychology class is doing these days, but you don't know how to reach her. Members of the Alumni Association will have access to these things and much, much more! The Alumni Association of CSUSM was formed to provide a continued link between the university and its alumni, and to "enhance the continued cultural, educational, personal and professional development of its members." It has taken the greater part of the last two years for the Alumni Board to get organized, prepare a data base and to put together a nice package of benefits for its members. Between April 15 and May 31, graduating seniors can join the Alumni Association for $15. This is a $10 discount off the normal price. Members of the Alumni Association receive a quarterly newsletter, CSU Library privileges, access to the campus computer s labs and extended use of the Career Center and discounts at the bookstore, Arts and Lectures events, and several local restaurants, businesses and attractions. Besides all these benefits, the Alumni Association sponsors two social events including the annual Alumni Picnic, held in late August, assists at the commencement ceremony each year and provides representation on several campus committees. Within the next year, the association plans to create a directory, set up a scholarship fund and plan additional social events. Memberships can be purchased through the Alumni Office in Commons 201, or watch for a table on the Plaza. For further information on the Alumni Association, please call Alumni Affairs 752-4970, or Tanis Brown 752-4952. 1. $10 off regular membership f eesApril 1 5-May 31 2. Use of CSUSM Library 3.

The club is the brainchild of Rika Yoshii, faculty member of the College of Arts and Sciences. It boasts 15 Japanese students but only a few tentative Americans, although Rika is anxious to recruit more. Most of the students are business majors who have come to California to improve their English and experience what passes for American culture. If you have been wondering why you see so many Japanese students in the Dome but never seem to take a class with one, it is because most of the foreign exchange students spend their first year in intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Some of the Japanese students are mildly critical of this arrangement. Akari Sagane, for example, wishes she could take classes with local students. After learning a little about the Japanese educational system, you begin to appreciate just how determined CSUSM* s Japanese students must be. After 12 years in a school system which still allows corporal punishment, and is widely regarded as the most competitive in the world, most students look forward to an easy four years of college, a "four-year party" is how Akari describes it. For a student to relinquish this "rest" and go to a foreign country, with a different language and competitive universities, demonstrates their tenacity. One of the more interesting activities planned by the club is the formation of an international music band which will blend elements of Japanese music with American rock and roll. Rika hopes to send the band to Japan to see how they will be received. They are still in need of a male vocalist. Interested parties should contact Yoshii directly. An American student might wonder why he or she should join the club. Well, for a business student, there is an obvious advantage, and many liberal studies majors might benefit from some hands-on experience with another culture. For the rest of us, I can say that I found the Japanese students to be intelligent and interesting people and I look forward to the next club meeting. For more information about the Japa- Japanese Students get together to share their experiences of life at an American university nese Cultural Exchange Club contact Rika Yoshii at 752-4121 or 6231 Craven Hall.

T O V OTE �Project Wildlife looks for volunteers to care for animals, birds • p r o j e c t Wildlife is gearing up for 1 - ^ S a n Diego County's annual baby A season. Over the next five months, Project Wildlife will receive between 7-8,000 baby birds and mammals. Volunteers are needed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife four hours per week .at the Project Wildlife Care Facility in San Diego. Volunteers are also needed to care for baby birds and mammals in their own homes. Rescue/transport volunteers and telephone volunteers are in demand too. "The wildlife baby season is almost upon us," said Ly n Lacy e, spokesperson for Project Wildlife. "We desperately need caring volunteers to help with the thousands of injured, orphaned or displaced animals and birds in San Diego County." There are a number of ways to help in this massive effort to save San Diego's native wildlife. Individuals who are home during the day will be trained in the care and feeding of baby songbirds. Dependable people are needed to volunteer four hours a week at the Project Wildlife Care Facility, which is open seven days a week, 12 hours a day. "If you do find a baby bird or mammal, be sure it really is orphaned before you rescue •it," cautioned Lacye. "Many species leave their young while out searching for food. Be sure the parents are not returning to feed. Project Wildlife can rescue, rehabilitate and release these wild babies, but there is no substitute for the real parent." A baby bird that has fallen from the nest ¥ PROJECT WILDLIFE A SECONd chAINCE can be put back and the parent will continue to feed it. If you cannot reach the nest, put the bird in a plastic bowl lined with tissue or paper towels as close as possible to the original site. The parents will usually find it. When rescue becomes necessary, the bird or animal should be handled as little as possible. Often these otherwise healthy creatures die of stress. Keep the animal or bird warm, dark and quiet, and call Project Wildlife. Until you reach a volunteer, do not feed the wildlife. Baby birds and mammals can easily inhale food into their lungs and die, and incorrect diet can cause irreparable damage. Project Wildlife, a non-profit volunteer organization, has been in existence since 1975. Over7,000 animals and birds are brought to Project Wildlife each year. The organization receives no government funding and exists entirely on membership donations and charitable contributions. For more volunteer information, call 225 WILD or 588-4289.

Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH The good news is that the March rains have helped our drought condition; however, the bad news is that this may be a sinister allergy season because of the rain. Spring and early summer in Southern California make one out of six people fairly miserable with allergy symptoms. The recent rains have spurred the growth of indoor and outdoor molds, tree pollen counts, and soon grass pollen counts will be on the rise. Pollen can travel up to 100 miles so that it is not just local vegetation that can be a factor. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) may include itching and swelling of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. It can cause sneezing, tearing, a clear discharge from the nose, post nasal drip, as well as a dry cough and wheezing. Approximately a third of the people with allergic rhinitis will also have wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma. The average allergic rhinitis patient is symptomatic for 5 months a year and 62 percent of patients report they are bothered a "great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from everyday activities and results in many work and school days lost. Total sales for medications, both over the counter and prescription, is^asily over 2 billion a year. There is no magic allergy antidote but an allergic patient has basically three choices for gaining some relief. The first is to avoid the Tai Chi Glasses to begin April 12 On Tuesday, April 12, a new beginning level Tai Chi Chuan class will be starting at CSUSM. The class will be held in ACD 104 from 12 Noon to 1 PM, and will run for six weeks, from April 12 to May 17. The class is open to everyone, and the cost is $30 for the six-week session. Regina Gill, shown at the right, a very experienced instructor, has o ffered this class at this exceptionally low price. Tai Chi Chuan is both exercise and meditation/relaxation. It is one of the best methods available for stress reduction, and requires no special clothing, only comfortable shoes. To register for the class, sign up at Student Health Services, respond to me personally by E-mail, or enroll at the door on Tuesday April 12. See you there. offending allergen. This is usually fairly difficult but there are steps one can take to reduce allergens especially in your home. For specifics see your health care provider f or counseling and literature. The second choice is to use medication to relieve your symptoms. If you self-treat allergy symptoms with over the counter medications, ask a pharmacist for advice. Don't abuse the nasal decongestant sprays, especially since they have adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of over-the-counter antihistamines because most of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar effects to alcohol in impairing ones ability to drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment. When allergies continue to interfere with your life, sleep, and work or you develop secondary infectious complications see your health care provider. A number of new, albeit fairly expensive, medications which relieve symptoms without causing sedation are now available by prescription after an evaluation by your health care provider. Lastly, immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots, based on specific allergy testing, can provide relief. This is appropriately the last resort if symptoms can not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications. If you have any questions or concerns contact your health care provider or call Student Health Services at 752-4915.

Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Lexis/Nexis once again has become the subject of recent controversy. According to Gabriela Sonntag, Reference/Instruction Librarian, Lexis/Nexis is unavailable at the CSUSM library between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. Such was the case on the afternoon of March 8. On that Friday afternoon, several students were witness to an incident at a Lexis/ Nexis terminal in the CSUSM library. Library Information Assistants routinely walk around the computer islands offering assistance and answering questions. When history faculty member Patty Seleski sat down at a Lexis terminal, several individuals observed her frustration when the Lexis/Nexis terminal would not connect with the service. Seleski proceeded to hit the keyboard and expressed herself in a loud manner. Renee, one of the Information Assistants rushed to o ffer assistance and was met with " I'm not a student here, I 'm a faculty m ember... this is no way to run a library . . . this is no way to treat faculty." Seleski turned around, paused and added "and students." The Information Assistant attempted to explain to Seleski that CSUSM library access to the Lexis/Nexis system is routinely denied from 11 AM to 2 PM. According to Sonntag, Mead Data provides Lexis/Nexis service to educational institutions at a discounted rate. For this reason, on-line priority is given to businesses who pay the full rate to use the service, particularly during peak hours. Thus, Lexis/Nexis is not available to the CSUSM library terminals during those times. An exception may occur if you sign on to Lexis/Nexis before 11 AM— some have experienced no interruption of on-line service. Signs are visibly posted above each terminal stating these downtime periods. Seleski said she knew why it was down, but continued to complain. The Information Assistant suggested that Seleski speak with a librarian. Seleski replied "I know where to find the librarian" and continued to disrupt others in the library. "This is supposed to be a research institution," Seleski said, adding, "You should have a back-up." The Information Assistant then left to help a student at another computer terminal but later returned with librarian Stephanie Weiner. Weiner attempted to explain why Lexis/Nexis was down, but Seleski loudly and repeatedly said, "Get away from me!" One onlooker noted, "When the terminal d idn't work, she [Seleski] threw a temper tantrum, like a little kid. You would think that a faculty member would know how to channel their frustration in more construc- tive ways. If she wants priority access, she can pay for it." According to Sonntag, Lexis/Nexis service is available to faculty and staff through their personal computer terminals upon request. CSUSM's First Cougar Fun Run Amy Cubbison Contributing Writer In place of a much-dreaded final paper Dr. Betsy R eed's exercise physiology class is planning and promoting a 5K fun run at CSUSM. The professor suggested it and the students were quick to respond, as you might imagine. The Fun Run is not only a run, entrants can also walk. The distance is a 5K which is 3.1 miles. There is no time constraint and there will be three hours to complete the race. The reason for the Fun Run is jto promote physical activity while raising money for future exercise facilities such as a volleyball court. If you are interested in entering the 5K, registration forms will be available on campus shortly. Along with the form there will be a helpful guide on how to train for non athletes . The entry fee is only $3 for students and $5 for other interested individuals. The race will take place on May 6, 1994 in the CSUSM parking lot. Late registration will begin at 8 AM and the actual race at 9 AM. The race will go on until 12 Noon. Following the race there will be refreshments and a r affle with some terrific prices. There will also be complimentary body fat analysis and blood pressure screening. Results of the tests are private and for the persons own benefit. All of the students in exercise physiology are extremely enthusiastic about being part of CSUSM's first annual 5K Cougar Fun Run, so please exhibit some school spirit and join in on the fun. It will be history in the making! Not only will entering the race be a great incentive to get in shape for summer, but it will help CSUSM get established and respected in the San Marcos area.

PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS Dave Ross Public Safety Officer W ELCOME BACK We hope that everyone had a great and safe spring break. Not too miich longer till graduation! P OLICE B IKES This summer you will see CSUSM Police Officers riding bicycles on patrol. We just finished an excellent three day class at UCSD. The class covered patrol procedures, bike safety, the advantage of officers on bikes, and many more subjects. I didn't know there was so much to know about riding a bicycle. The bike program will give the officers more opportunity to get much closer to the students and staff. The bikes will also allow us to better monitor the parking lots and campus area, creating a safer environment for everyone. B UCKLE U P As I drive around town and the campus I see many people not wearing their safety belts, when they drive or are passengers. Did you know that in 1992 safety belts saved 5,226 lives and prevented about 136,000 moderate-to-critical injuries. From 1983 to 1992, it is estimated that safety belts saved 34,794 lives. Be smart, take the time to buckle up.

In conjunction with National Women's History Month, Deborah Small's advanced computer art class first researched eight women who played an important role in San Diego's history. Then they created large-scale, computer-generated art based on the accomplishments of these notable women. The works will be on exhibit at various locations on the campus till May 21. The eight women whose lives are featured in the exhibit are: Kate Sessions, botanist; Ellen Browning Scripps, publisher and philanthropist; Delfina Cuero, herbalist; Katherine Tingley, theosophist; Mary Chase Walker, San Diego's first school teacher; Belle Benchley, wildlife advocate and zoo director; Dona Juana Machado, early resident born at the Presidio in 1814 and oral historian; and Califia, legendary black Amazon queen who inspired the naming of California. The CSUSM students who created the artwork are: Katherine Johnson, Jeri Kalvin, Linda Kallas, Erika Kent, Kelly Mundell, Diana Mcintosh, Yvonne Ramsey, Genevieve Venegas, Norman Manes, and Jenny Jackson. So take some time to see and admire these interesting exhibits around campus. RIGHT: Katherine Johnson's project honoring Kate Sessions.

Vazquez Guest Editorial There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the actual cost illegals represent to the State of California. Many politicians, such as Mickey Conroy in an editorial published March 11 mThe Pride, suggest that the reason for our current increase in tuition fees has been directly related to the enrollment of illegal immigrants in our universities. He blames the illegals for the continuous rise in tuition fees and the decline of available classes in the CSU system. According to Conroy, there are at least 700 undocumented students attending in four of the 21 universities in the CSU system. But, let's presume for a moment that he is correct. 700 Students is insignificant compared to some 400,000 students in the CSU system. It represents. 17 percent, less than two-tenths of a percent. One can only wonder where he got this information? What kind of study was done? Which universities is Conroy referring to? What determines illegal status and so on? Last week, I telephoned Conroy's office to check on this information. After being transferred three times, I was told someone would get back to me. To this day, I am still waiting. Conroy gives no proof and therefore, has n a basis for arguing that illegals are depleting resources from our schools. When I spoke with Kathleen Fannella, Assistant Director of Admissions and Records on campus, she replied, "We have no way of knowing who is undocumented." The statements made by Conroy are misleading. They imply that illegals are exhausting and abusing our educational resources. These students are paying; therefore, they are supporting rather than exhausting the educational system. They do not cause a burden to anyone, nor to the state. Since they reside in the state, they become taxpayers by being consumers, employees, and students. It is precisely because of this reason that the CSU system's current policy abides by the Leticia A court order, which classifies eligible undocumented students as state residents for tuition purposes. As members of working and tax-paying families, they can enroll and pay state tuition fees rather than out-of-state tuition. Assemblyman Conroy's bill, AB 1801, would deny students access to higher education based on legal status. It would create obstacles to an education by charging out-of-state tuition fees to undocumented residents. Denying education to immigrants would not benefit anyone; rather, it would hurt society. Colleen BentlyAdler from the office of the chancellor for CSU stated that "these students should be treated fairly," adding "our office and the Board of Trustees support the fact that these students should be eligible for higher education, and they should pay in-state tuition fees." Bentley-Adler noted, "we certainly do not look at these students as criminals." What Assemblyman Conroy is doing is diverting the issue of California's economic crisis by attacking and accusing the undocumented; he is using them as scapegoats. Because they have no voice or vote in this issue, they have no way to defend themselves. Insinuations against illegal immigrants contribute to perpetuate the already worsened image of immigrants in the state. Conroy also perpetuates institutionalized racism by denying education to immigrants. Conroy creates bad sentiments in general by referring to the undocumented immigrants as "illegal aliens" and as "criminals." These remarks are offensive, derogatory and completely irresponsible, especially coming from a public official. Conroy's allegations are simplistic and undermine our intelligence. He is giving us a fourth grade interpretation of a complex issue. Does he really think students are going to accept his racist views without question? How can he expect to gain student support by treating us as elementary school students? l &ttif^ >,tolit:he Editor s Health Services offers more than just medicine Dear Editor: This letter is a very belated thank you to everyone in Health Services. Last semester I was victim of the flu, pneumonia and a few other invading microbes. As a result 1 had to visit Health Services several times and needed lots of TLC, which was freely given by the entire staff. Both Dr. Grinolds and Nurse Practitioner Judith Weiss-Zinger took their time to examine thoroughly my physical condition and listen to my physical complaints. I appreciate the careful attention I received and wish that all my experiences with medical staff had been as positive as mine have been here at CSUSM. Thank you again. _, A AmyParsloe In Defense of the Lounge Dear Editor: The recent addition of a pool table and a few video games to the student lounge has caused quite an uproar—two letters to the editor in the last issue of The Pride were dedicated to bashing this unthinkable invasion of academic integrity. With such limited space and a limited budget, the argument goes, why are we wasting valuable resources on mind-numbing entertainment? This is an understandable position, one that deserves a well thought-out, keenly-argued empirical retort—LOOSEN UP!! I like to play pool. Obviously, I also like to acquire knowledge and engage in intellectual discovery. That is the primary preoccupation of all college students and the sole purpose for the existence of our fine university.

Weir Thomas Lee Huntington �Nadinne Cruz to speak on community service CHILDCARE continued from Page 1 administrators continue to alert the community about the need f or funding of this project. President Stacy met with the Associated Students at their retreat and told them that the development of this facility continues to be a priority at the university. While a daycare center at C SUSM would be convenient f or students, it would also provide affordable childcare. A sliding scale could help lower-income students manage the cost associated with childcare. Kuchler also noted that perhaps the university f aculty and staff could use the facility at a slightly higher rate, which would help the center offset costs. Kuchler also noted that with the permission of the Associated Students, the center could serve an academic purpose. CSUSM's psychology department has indicated an interest in creating a program that would allow students to observe the children and incorporate the center into an internship program. The facility could then serve both as a valuable service f or parents, and as a hands-on learning experience for students. However, the progress made by Lowder could be slowed when she leaves CSUSM this semester. As much as this facility is needed at the campus, Kuchler noted that another student or students will need to come forward tocontinueLowder'sefforts. Lowder said, " I have stirred up the embers. Now, I hope someone will come along to keep them going."

P^^^SSBB^b — # SAN MARCOS PRESENTS On April 20, 1994, Dr. Nadinne Cruz, a leader in multiculturalism and service-learning will speak at CSUSM. The Service-Learning Initiative will host the following events: 10-11 AM Open Session CRA 6201 12-1:30 PM Community Service ACD 315, Diversity & Social Change 2:30-4 PM Open session CRA 1201 The open sessions are for administrators, faculty, staff, and students wishing to join in topical discussions involving how service relates to issues of diversity (topics to be announced). Dr. Nadinne Cruz will also speak to the diversity of the CSUSM servicelearning goals. The following information is an introduction to the topics and areas where she has highly influenced the field of experiential education and service-learning by her innovative ideas. A Filipina-American educator, Dr. Cruz was 1992-1993 Lang Visiting Professor of Social Change at S warthmore College where she piloted a Democratic Practice Project course in the political science department. The course emphasizes multicultural and community-based perspectives on "The Politics of Social Responsibility and Public Service." In this course, "community involvement" cuts both ways: students are involved in community service; community people are involved with teaching by modeling options for exercising social responsibility and contributing to the public good. As Executive Director of HECUA (Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs, St. Paul), Dr. Cruz developed for the 18 member colleges several community-based programs located in Latin America, Scandinavia, San Francisco, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The programs model ways in which faculty and student relationships with and in various communities form the critical core of teaching "materials." The 22-year old consortium has demonstrated a cost-effective option for supporting faculty in sustained innovations and cutting-edge practice in community-based teaching. Nadinne Cruz also provides workshops on multiculturalism and community-based teaching for college faculty, students and community groups. In the l ast two years, these have involved, among others: Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities Faculty Development Network; St. Olaf College faculty; board and staff members of the foundation, Headwaters Fund and of Fresh Air Public Radio; students at S warthmore College; faculty and administrators from fifteen different institutions of higher education who participated in the 1993 Campus Compact Institute; and 1993-1994 grantees of the Corporation of National and Community Service. She will also be a keynote speaker at a Western Regional Campus Compact Institute to be held at the University of San Diego on July 7-9, 1994. In addition, Dr. Cruz is cofounder of the Philippine Study Group of Minnesota Foundation and t he P hilippines-Minnesota Grassroots Linkages Project. She is on the Board of Colors, a Minnesota journal of opinion by writers of color. The lecture and visit to CSUSM by Dr. Cruz is funded through the CSUSM ServiceLearning grant from the Corporation on National and Community Service. Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community leaders are invited to attend. ? EVERY T HURSDAY f 8 TO CLOSE . COLLEGE N H GT .

There is nothing wrong with that, of course; welldone schtick can be just as valuable and timeless as high film art (see Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars or any Frank Capra movie). Recent Howard films, though (specifically Backdraft and Far and Away) seemed soulless, all special effects, emotional scores and big movie star smiles—two hour music videos advertising the glamour of Hollywood. The Paper, Howard's new behind the scenes look at a New York tabloid, cleanly breaks that little losing streak. Certainly, it is a fast-paced, well-produced commercial crowdpleaser and it claims to be nothing more. But it also has grit — sloppy edges and ambiguity and antiheroes and moral dilemmas. But not moral dilemmas that stand in the way of expediency or plot development—this is no Schindler's List. Rather it is an unusually well-written, well-acted, hugely entertaining dramatic comedy. And there's nothing wrong with that. Indeed, one could argue that a film like The Paper is harder to make than some high-minded, three-hour historical epic. But that is a fruitless argument, and there's no need to compare artistic apples and oranges here. Suffice to say that Howard in The Paper, despite severaldangerous moments of near-cliche, pulls off a rare achievement: tightly paced, quick-witted controlled chaos. He is helped immeasurably towards that end by a fine ensemble cast including Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, Randy Quaid and Glenn Close. Duvall is especially (and characteristically) fine as the hard-edged editor-in-chief with "a prostate the size of a bagel." Keaton delivers the finest performance of his previously undistinguished acting career and Tomei proves herself worthy of the sudden fame that has followed here since her Academy Award for My Cousin Vinnie. Close and Quaid tend to ham it up a bit but usually provide the appropriate level of comic relief. The Paper is at its best when it stays in the chaotic, insane newsroom; the pace slackens a bit during the obligatory family trouble subplots. Fortunately, though, Howard always brings it back to the frantic search for the story. The glee in Keaton's voice as he tells off the editor of an uptown, New York Times—like newspaper is the best advertisement for adrenaline pumping, down and dirty journalism since All the President's Men. Keaton rushes home to his pregnant wife at the end of the movie and curses his journalistic obsession. But this is just conventional audience b aitingit's obvious that the film's heart is buried deep inside,the Metro section, and that's why it all succeeds so well. 66 An Independent Female OR a Man Has His Pride *' Yareli Arizmendi Faculty, Visual and Performing Arts As its Spring 1994 theater production, The San Marcos Players (CSU San Marcos) is currently producing An Independent Female or a Man Has His Pride. In the old tradition of traveling troupes and the revived 60's tradition of "street" and "agit-prop" theater, An Independent Female.. . takes a closer look at the relationship between love, power and economic dependence. Written by The San Francisco Mime Troupe, biting satire and intelligent humor combine with a highly melodramatic acting style—in the "who will save me now" tradition—to deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical event. As a prelude to An Independent Female. . . ,The San Marcos Players present "The Difference Between Men and Women," a piece written by Michelle Lewellen (CSUSM student). This scene offers the insightful discussion of two eight-year old girls on the subject of men and women. The group will be performing on April 18 at the CSUSM Dome at 12 Noon; April 23 at the Oceanside Day of Art Festival; April 29 at CSUSM in conjunction with "Bring Our Daughters to Work"; May 3 at Palomar College (Music Court, 2 PM); and May 12 at CSUSM as part of teh Annual Arts Festival. For more information, contact Yareli Arizmendi at 752-4149. iil fpjjtf ' ••ft 1 c Dryve, a new musical group, comes to CSUSM Wednesday, April 20. They will be performing in front of The Dome at 12 Noon. The group had a humble beginning, knowing only one song and playing it at any coffee shop that would have them. Cory Verner and Paul Donovan, who started Dryve, are the band's primary songwriters. Within the last year, they were joined by Steve Pratchner and Kieth Sansone. Recently, they added accordian, violin, and tin whistle to their musical ensemble. Their set is diverse, pulling from American roots—country, bluegrass, and rockabilly with a common thread running throughout that is distinctly Dryve. �More to Do in San Diego County San Marcos Celebrates "Day of the Family" liiiilill THEATER AND CONCERT TICKETS offers classes for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, Half-Price tickets to tonight's performances rowing, surfing, water skiing, and scuba diving, of theater, ballet, symphony and other events. at very competitive prices.

Northern Indian Classical Music Comes to CSUSM As part of its Arts & Lectures Series, CSUSM is sponsoring a concert of Northern Indian classical music on April 17 at 3 PM in Academic Hall, Room 102. The concert features Kartik Seshadri on the sitar and Abhiman Kaushal on the tabla (a pair of small, different-sized hand-drums used in Indian music). Kartik Seshadri's first musical inspiration was listening to Pandit Ravi Shankar. Kartik made his concert debut as a sitarist at the age of six and was nationally recognized as a prodigy. Kartik first met and received Panditji's blessings in 1965 and formally became his disciple in 1975. In the past year, Kartik accompanied Pandit Ravi Shankar in major concert halls and festivals in India, Israel, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, and the United States, including Carnegie Hall. Kartik will be accompanied on tabla by Abhiman Kaushal. Abhiman comes from a musical family. His father is a tabla artist, and his mother is a dancer and teacher of Bharat Natyam, Kachupudi and Odissi style. He is currently studying under Pandit Ravi Shankar and frequently accompanies professional vocalists and instrumentalists all over India. Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the University's bookstore during normal business hours or by calling 7524730. Tickets may be purchased at the door one-half hour before the performance, unless it is sold out. For further information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.

Richard Harvey, fraternity member and head of this big-brother-type program, says eligible teens "don't have to be gang bangers from San Marcos or Vista. They can be a surfer from Del Mar with poor study habits." Once a week, Sigma Phi Delta members will take troubled boys to the movies, teach them computer skills, and help them with their homework. The goal of the program is to provide positive role models for teens who need special guidance. Harvey says he can relate to misguided teenagers. Although he says he has never been in trouble with the law, he has "done dumb things like drop out of high school." Sigma Phi Delta wants to show young boys that anyone can succeed. Not all troubled boys are eligible for the "Brothers For Life " program. The fraternity will not accept any apathetic teens. Harvey said ' They must, be motivated. They will be screened and evaluated for their potential and desire to succeed." For more information about this program call Richard Harvey at 259-1533.

"The University. . .encourages students to examine moral and ethical issues central to their development as responsible men and women." 4. "Students.. .seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions." The University bears the responsibility of living up to its own standards. Perhaps an examination is in order. How well does the University meet the challenge of survival in today's social crisis? Here are 10 social issues to consider: (1) Measure performance in light of a new book, The Fall of the Ivory Tower: Government Funding, Corruption, and the Bankrupting ofAmerican Higher Education, by Hillsdale College president George Roche. (2) Crime statistics show violent felonies peak at 15 to 19, ages when students are considering college. Even with education, a violent person becomes only an educated vilent person, unless that person changes. (3) Our country has the highest violent crime rate in the world. Is training available to deter the conscience at the university level? (4) Judeo-Christian ethics were the basis upon which our country was built. Students of morality are essential to social survival; fundamental changes leading to high moral character, a goal of the Mission Statement. (5) Courses contributing to the solution and not the problem. Stemming the drift toward immorality and moral relativism. (6) Learning responsibility, facing consequences. Warnings against substance abuse. (7) Back to basics—objective truth for social reform to replace opinion, perception, credibility and contemporary culture. (8) Emphasis on public standards of virtue, objective morality, moral judgment. The loss of moral truth leads to tyranny. (9) Civil rights and the free exercise of what people believe should not prevent religious civil liberties. (10) A critical review of secular humanism, suspect as a "religion" with overtones of immediate gratification leading to neo-paganism. A final word of caution in observing and considering our impending headlong social collapse. History is known to repeat itself. Remember Rome, a onertime dominating power of the world. What happened to it? The Roman Empire declined and fell because of immorality and excessive governmental bureaucracy. Is there a lesson in this to challenge us to do something for survival?

The program is a educational degree. In many cases, the students KIMBERLY COURTNEY/PIONEER in the program will be the first in their family to get a degree, Phillips said. The College Board funded proposal money for the program which is being used to pay the mentors' salary. According to Phillips, "Our hope is many of the students will transfer here (CSUSM), but if the students transfer anywhere, our goal is met" Last summer, CSUSM and Palomar College met over a period of six weeks to propose solutions to the low Hispanic population. The mentorship program, arose from the meetings' discourse. Of the 23 applicants for mentorship positions, only 12 were accepted. Honors plan open for discussion K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Students, faculty and administrators have the opportunity to debate and help mold the final plan for the university's Honors Program. The basic plan, designed by an honors committee — made up of a cross sections of faculty, students and administrators—has been planned for the academically motivated student, who wantsamorerigorouseducational programs and is also interested in leadership and community service. As written, the University Honors Program will be kept separatefromthe Latin Honors Program, which is grade-point-average dependent The program has been designed to cover two separate segments of the student population: the first segment of students are those that want to enter a total Honors Program which involves Honors Courses and leadership responsibilities, and the other group of students are those that only want to take one or two selected Honors Courses. Some of the proposed regulations covering admission to Honors Classes and Honors Program are: • Students may self-select to participate in Honors Courses at any time in their stay at CSUSM. • Students may declare themselves members of the University Honors Program upon completion of two Honors Courses with a grade of B or better. • Certain courses will be declared as Honor Courses and a designation will appear in the class schedule. • Honors Classes are taught using regular curriculum. Students that contract with the teacher for Honors designation will be required to do extra work outside of the classroom. • Students who experience undo stress from the extra work can withdraw from the Honors Program without jeopardizing their grade in the Psychology honor society forming Organization is under way to create a national honor society in psychology at Cal State San Marcos. Charter members are being sought for Phi Chi. If formed the organization would be the first honor society on campus. According to organizer Pafira Catledge, the national organization was formedin 1929 "with the purpose of encouraging, stimulating and maintaining excellence in scholarship and advancement of the science of psychology" An established Phi Chi chapter draws membersfrominvitation only and members are voted into the society by two-thirds of the chapter. For CSUSM, however, charter members only need to meet certain requirements. "Right now, students can get in with the regular class. • To graduate with University Honors a student must accumulate 12 units in Honors Courses and have attained recognition as a leader and a community volunteer. A complete transcript of the HonorsProposal can be found in the Associated Students Office, Student Lounge bulletin board, the Senate Office and in the Library. For anyone interested in shaping the future of CSUSM's Honors Program, more forums will be held this week. Students are encouraged to attend all of the following forums. Input from their ideas will be used to frame the final proposal: • Tuesday, March 17: a forum for students will be in Room 112, Building 800 from 1 to 2 p.m. right grade point average," Catledge said. "After that it will be by a vote by the chapter." Requirements include: • upper 35 percent of class - 3.16 grade point average for juniors and 3.17 GPA for seniors, and p-^^^X • overall B average in psychologic courses. The group is open to men and women in all classes. Two organizational meetings are schedule for March 24 in Room 9, Building 145 and March 26 in Room 97, Building 800. Each meeting isfromnoon to 12:30 p.m. Applications and more information will be distributed at that time. Deadline for application is March 30. For more information, call Catledge at 270-9782. • Wednesday, March 18: a forum for faculty, staff, and administration will be in Room 10, Building 145 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. • Friday, March 20: An open forum is scheduled in Room 129, Building 800from10 to 11 a.m. The current recommendation leaves theacceptance of a student into a Honors Course up to the discretion of the Honors Director and the professor. Discussed at thefirstforum was the ability of the University to support classes designed for honors students rather than having the honors work as an addition to a regular class. Talk centered around the necessity of leadership and community service and whether these requirements have an underlying gender and racial bias. �TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1 992 /PIONEER N ews B riefs Commencement gala planned The commencement sub-committee to the Associated Students is organizing a University Gala for May 9.

NEWS 3 Forthcoming class ring reflects global goals LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Students graduating from Cal State San Marcos will have something to take with them apart from a diploma. Since last semester, a committee comprised of students, faculty and administration has chosen a design for a CSUSM class ring. Jostens, the ring manufacturer selected by the committee to produce the final product, is expected to complete a final design for the ring this week. Currently , Jostens is testing the final design selected by the committee to see whether it works on the ring's small scale. "The (design selection process) went through several iterations," said Marti Gray, director of Auxiliary Services and chair of the committee. "Its been a process of creativity and compromise." Gray said that some of the committee's original designs had to be discarded because they couldn't be seen on the small scale of a class ring. Other „elements preferred by the committee were too expensive or too complex to fit in with student budgets. The resulting design was the culmination of seven or eight meetings, said Gray, and conveys a sense of uniqueness while maintaining traditional elements. The committee chose an intermediate-sized ring to emphasize detail without being too bulky. Topping the ring will be a blue stone with the etched figure of a mountain lion underneath. The engraved lion's head, carved out of silver, will be seen through the stone. It will be rectangular in shape with each of the corners cropped off. Surrounding the stone will be the inscription "California State University San Marcos." The side panels of the ring were designed to r eflect C SUSM's uniqueness while concurrently expressing the university's mission statement of global awareness. Craven Hall will dominate one side of the panel, while the image of a lion's paw will rest underneath. Two hands, each holding globes will be placed at the top of the panel. An engraved bridge separates the two. Gray compiled a list of reactions from panel members about the design of the ring. "Craven Hall pays tribute to the man behind the dream of a university innorthSanDiegoCounty,"thememo cited. "This panel symbolizes the physical presence of learning which embraces exploration and integrated understanding." The ring's other side panel will add personalized touches to the final product. Students enrolled at CSUSM in its first year will have, the opportunity to have a customized panel on the ring. The panel will state in bold letters "Founding Class 1990-1991" above the image of a globe, a book and scales symbolizing equality. Rays will be etched emanating from the globe. Below the figures will be the lion's paw and an inscription indicating which degree was earned. Founding faculty and administration will have the opportunity to purchase the same design but with the SEE RING/PAGE 5 Child care program with local club continues despite small turnout JONATHAN YOUWG/PIONEER With about a third of the needed children, the Boys and Girls Club of San Marcos will continue to offer a child care service the campus community of Cal State San Marcos. Theprogram, started this semester, provides child care service several nights a week in addition to the clubs daily hours. Located at the Woodland Park branch, grade-school children can attend the club from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Children can also use the club during regular hours, Monday through Friday. To stay open on the four nights, 15 children were need to support the program. Only five are utilizing the service. But campus and club officials are not being discouraged and say that the program will grow in the next semester. Tanis Brown, an organizer of the program, said the news of the new program got to the students too late; needed child care services had already been arranged by students. Brown, along with the Women's Information Network, is preparing to send out flyers to women returning next semester to inform them of the program and to get some feed back on the program. Sue Aldana, of the San Marcos Boys and Girls Club, and Brown have received comments that the program is not open late enough for student attending night classes at CSUSM. Those classes last until 10 p.m.; the program is only open until 8 p.m. "As a university, we did not want toadvocate kids being outat 10p.m.," Brown said. Aldanasaidtheclub could re-evaluate the time schedule based on student feed back. Even though the specifications of the program may change, Brown said the child care program will continue at operate. ' That's a really positive element on campus," Brown said. "A lot of other universities are offering the opportunity of having a child care program. "As a new university with a large number of re-entry women, we wan to keep up with those opportunities for women to come back to school and have their kids on site or close by." To use the Boys and Girls Club's service, the children must become members of the club. To use any service the club offers, children have to be members and this $15 yearly fee releases the university of liability . The evening service costs S5 a night; children may use the club during the day at no additional cost.

Rings for students not enrolled in the first year of classes will have the year of their graduation inscribed. Originally, the committee sought a separate design for the commemorative ring, but due to the low student population in the first year, such a design would be expensive. Although the ring's final cost has n ot y et been d etermined, Eric Pukowski, Jostens' s representative to CSUSM, said the price will be competitive with noncustomized rings found at other universities. Pukowski estimated that prices for men's rings will range from about WATCH FOR PART THREE IN NEXT ISSUE $370, for 10 karat gold, to approximately $700, for 18 karat gold. Women's rings should range from about$340,for lOkaratgold, to around $600. Generally, class rings are purchased by the December previous to graduation. Because theringis still in the design process, students graduating this spring will be able to acquire the product just before commencement "It will be close," said Gray. Many universities hold separate ring ceremonies at commencement time, where the product is presented to the student by the campus's president. Gray said, because the university is holding its first graduation ceremony, aring ceremony might take away from the emphasis on commencement The Class Ring Committee is comprised of students BarbaraPender, Tom Weir, Steffanie Taylor and Jose Chapman. Vice President of Student Affairs, Ernest Zomalt and Director ofBusiness Services, PatFarris joined Gray on the committee for an administrative voice, while Stephen Welch, professor of Chemistry, represented the faculty. G ray's memo sums up the committee's response to the overall design. "The original yet, traditional design is a culmination of efforts and creativity to student representatives, staff and faculty." NEWS Part one in a two-part series concerning treatment, misinformation of genital warts If you read this column frequently, you might be wondering why I am writing about another sexually transmitted disease. Recently, I have written about other current health concerns, however, the subject of this column, Human Papillamavira Virus (HPV) infection, has become a very common and an important health problem in thecollege-agepopulation. This will be the first of a two-part column, because HPV infection is complex and misinformation is common. HPV is the virus that causes warts. There are more than 60 types of the virus, with approximately a dozen types that can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in the genital tract. Since genital HPV is not a reportable disease, 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 HPVs has been discovered to be more contagious than previously thought It is usually spread through sexual contact with an infected person,although intercourse is not necessary to spread the infection. In HEALTHNOTES BY D R . J O E L GRINOLDS 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 infection is 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 at least months and maybe 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 more often result in visible warts than others. Types 6 ad 11 will almost always result in visible warts. Other types that may infect the cervix of women may not produce warts that are clearly seen. 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 recurrences of warts are fairly common. When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts, oneis considered to havea"subclinical infection." It is becoming clear that subclinical infection is much more widespread than anyone would have thought 10 years ago. Also, as research techniques become more sensitive in detection ¿)f HPV,we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection. Of interest is that many researchers believe that medical science is now identifying, for thefirsttime, an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in the the population for decades. What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon. ECONO L 5 'itBI* T U N Appointment Necessary!

It seems that either the majority of theCal State San Marcos students are ignorant and cannot comprehend these two words, or that students here are just not interested in their school. President Bill Stacy sent a letter to the prospective first class asking for pioneering students, ones that would set standards and traditions. The first few classes have to be innovative and active in setting the ground work for future generations of students. I t's a shame that not very many students have lived up to the president's challenge. Sure, there are some that have gone beyond his OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL challenge. The list of those already involved is more than the sum of a person's fingers and toes, but not by much. These select few, moreover, usually volunteer their time with more than one organization.

A THOUGHT: "To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. " W ALT D ISNEY, 1 9 5 5 I am writing in response to the article on recycling written in the last issue of the Pioneer ("Recycling program needs participation"). The article was concerned not with the general importance of the recycling issue but with the importance of recycling on this campus. The article stated that CSUSM was without a recycling program. I am writing to inform the Pioneer and the students that the school does haveaprogram.TheAssociatedStudentCouncil has had a Recycling Committee since last semester, and the recycling program has existed since last November. The Committee consists of five students. Since established, the program has recycled over 60 pounds of aluminum, 100 pounds of glass, 339 pounds of white paper,472pounds of computer paper and over 2000 pounds of newsprint (including thePioneer), and in addition hundreds of pounds of mixed paper and some plastics. The campus staff and faculty have been an important part of getting recycling going, and the Recycling Committee has been important in keeping it going. The program has been mostly concerned with recycling paper goods and maintaining previously established recycling stations around campus. Currently, the Committee is working with the University on expanding and upgrading the system. The future of recycling is expansion, and preparation for the new campus. As individuals we can all help by using the appropriate bins on campus. As the Recycling Committee, we will do our best to expand the program to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff. The Committee is in need of help to accommodate the expanding program; interested individuals should contact the A.S. Office. Also, anyone wishing to donate recyclables to the Associated Students can do so by simply dropping off their donations at Liberty Recycle in San Marcos. Currently the Library has a container for aluminum cans. The computer labs have paper bins. The A.S.Officehasbinsforall recyclables. Building 125 has a central recycling area for everything, and bins for paper in the copying area. Financial Aid has an aluminum cans bin, there are bins for paper, cans and bottles in the copy room Building 135. Building 820 has a place for cans and newspaper. R ICHARD MOLLOY/ A.S. COUNCIL MEMBER Give credit where it's due Thank you for your recent article in the last issue of the Pioneer ("Yearbook seeking sponsors for club pages"). It was very informative about what the yearbook staff is currently doing YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM regarding the funding of our second annual yearbook. However, you neglected to mention the person who is in charge of the funding for the second annual Tukut yearbook, Edgardo Perez. I was not upset at that minor deletionfromyour article but since clubs must report directly to me regarding their choices for sponsorship then I feel it should have been a crucial part of the article. You may have also had an easier time getting all of the information for your article had you contacted me directly rather than having to call three separate people for the information. Again thank you for the article in thePioneer, and if anyone has any further questions regarding the funding for the yearbook they may contact me at the Tukut office or the Tukut mailboxes in the Student Lounge or the mailroom in Building 125. sity at the graduating ceremony on May 23, as our gift to all continuing and future students of CSUSM. With approximately 100 students graduating in thisfirstclass, our goal would be to create at least $500 which would provide initial seed money for the Student Union Fund. This gift may be small in view of the overall cost of the project, but it will represent much more than a financial token. In a time when education is shadowedby serious economic cutbacks coupled by a large increase in tuition, we are pledging our support to all future students of CSUSM. A campus Student Union Building is as important to the student community as the classrooms. Five dollars does not buy much these days: five cups of coffee at the student store, lunch at the Full Belly Deli, half a T-shirt. How many times do we blow that amount on "nothing?" How much do we spend on an average birthday present? In contrast, a$5 donation to the CSUSM Student Union Fund is a gift that will continue to give long after our class has graduated. Unlike a scholarship fund which benefits only a select group of students, a Student Union Building is for the benefit of all students. Let's not lose the chance to do something really fine as the first graduating class. If you support my suggestion, and want to help make this idea a reality, please contact me through the A.S. Office, Building 135. T ANIS BROWN/ A.S.

These people also have had previous experience with occult phenomena before their UFO encounters. Ross' conclusions are that UFOs are demon activity and the purpose is to deceive people. Satan may try to explain as kidnapping by UFOs the coming disappearance of million of Christians when Jesus Christ returns and beams up his church. Extraterrestrial Etiquette In 1990, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project directors put together "Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence." The NASA organization put together this set of nine guidelines for those who encounter alien life forms. Here is a brief highlight: *• Don* t call the press until you have informed other researchers and you're sure the signal is from extraterrestrial beings and is not manmade. • Call the secretary general of the United States. • Once you're certain, don't keep the news a secret. • Don't talk back until serious international discussion are held on what we (the government) want to say. None of the nine rules mentions acceptable etiquette when meeting an alien face to face. Telling the future with aliens' help The Persia^ Gulf War. T he failed Russia coup.

San Marcos, CA 92069 1018 2nd Si. Encinitas. CA 92024 744-1313 942-5220 One night, Herman decided to check out his new Mends. With binoculars in hand, he perched himself on a nearby railroad track to watch the zipping light show. As the object made a sudden drop, as if it had fallen, Herman fumbled to catch a glimpse through his binoculars. "He was trying to focus his binoculars to see what had happened to it, when it swooped in and filled the sky in front of himcompletelyfilledthe sky in seconds," Stevens said. Caught by surprise, Herman started to fall back off the tracks. As he tried to catch himself, the ship started to draw away from him. "It was going away and he was in the air, he was in a beam of blue light going up into the craft "He was kicking and yelling and trying to get out of it and it sucked him up anyway," Stevens said. "He saw the reeds along the side of the tracks blowing away from him at the time this was happening. He lost consciousness until he woke up on an examination table aboard the alien ship." The object seems to be getting closer to my position. If scorning closer... it's coming closer! Fm just going to stand here and watch it. Oh my... Stevens calls Herman's friends the Reticulum and classifies them in the greys family, a classification consisting of grey-colored aliens. Research in both the United States and Canada have shown that a third of all extraterrestrial encounters are from this type of alien. The Reticulum are short, ranging from 4-feet to 4-feet 3-inches. They have large heads and large, dark eyes. Other encounter reports tell of similar grey creatures. "The tragedy is that we are painting them all with the same brush," Stevens said. "Some of the greys are benevolent, some are malevolent and there are shades of grey in between. It so happens that the Reticulums are among the most benevolent of the extraterrestrial entities visiting this planet." Herman has been exact with his description and said the creatures wear a silk-like blue uniform with a flying serpent on the left breast. They are kind, gentle creatures and meticulous with their work. Herman even knows which solar system the Reticulum call home. "There is only one case in the history of this whole extraterrestrial phenomena, that I know of, where the E X entity specifically said they came from what we call Reticulum, and that is the Charleston case of Bill Herman in South Carolina," Stevens said. The creatures told Herman where they werefromat least four times, in several different ways and in great detail giving their planet's mass, orbital characteristics and inclination of the axis. Compared to other astronomical information and research, Stevens said their directions were "absolutely correct." Reticulum is a twin-star system seen to the low south in the sky. Because of it's location, it is not visible at all times of the year in this part of the Earth. Stevens said the two stars are "not a binary pair because they do just stopped. Here it comes. There's a slight hum to it ...Oh my ...It's getting closer... The ship's shape alsofitsinto most alien sighting dimensions; it's a silver, oval object There are three, large, color lights schematically located on the bottom portion, with room for a fourth. Stevens can only speculate why the fourth light is not there. One aspect of the ship that interested Herman the most was how it traveled. He would sit and chart the zipping motions of the craft and determined that its navigation was based on a triangular pattern. "The second time he was aboard the spacecraft, he asked them why they traveled in such a strange flight path," Stevens said. "They said it . "He saw the reeds • was pattern designed to avoid radar lock-on. along the side of the "They had discovered, after tracks blowing away losing four of their vehicles, that the cause was a high-energy radar beam from him at the time with a homing characteristic.

Take for instance the production of "Steel Magnolias," as performed by the Lamb Theatre in San Diego. Here is a performance that far outshines the fine movie of the same name. "Steel Magnolias" is almost exclusively a women's production. All of the scenes aie set in a 1950s-style beauty shop, which is mostly "women's territory." Four women, all of different ages make up the cast. Even though men are spoken of, they never appear on stage. Women's passions and emotions resonate through the beauty shop. Moreover, the characters bond together. Each woman needs the others for different reasons, but all utilize each other because their ability to grow and change only becomes reality when the other women support them. The production is even directed by a woman. Every actor truly conveys that they are the well-scripted characters they perform. The two most impressive of the lot are Annelle, played by Cynthia Peters, and Ouiser, played by Darlene Trent Annelle, when she first appears on the stage, seemsfrightened,nervous, unsure of herself. Every time someone asks her a question, her face becomes as a contorted prune, displaying every emotion Annelle feels. Throughout the play, however, Annelle grows more confident, more sure of herself. In thefirstscene, Annelle Haphazardly styles T ruvy's (Veronica Aliens make box office blockbusters SHEILA COSGROVE/PIONEER Mhari Sandoval (L)f Veronica Murphy, Gail West and Cynthia Peters star in the Lamb's Players production of "Steel Magnolias.' Murphy Smith) hair, hesitant of every move she makes. In the final scene, Annelle, married and pregnant, Confidently arranges Clairee's (Patricia DiMeo) hair. Being a part of the women of the beauty shop gives Annelle the confidence to grow and be herself. Ouisar, cynical, sarcastic, extremely loud, arrives in thefirstscene yelling and screaming about her neighbor and his abuse of her dog. She invites laughter with her attitude and brings a lightness to a sometimes heavy mood. However, Ouisar also changes drastically during the course of the play. As the production progresses, her behavior and attitude softens, becoming more gentle. By the final scene, Ouisar, instead of storming into the room, sits in a chair waiting for her hair dresser. She wears stylish clothing instead of blue jeans. Ouisar no longer needs to be boisterous and obnoxious to be accepted in the group; she can confidently be a quieter, more calm woman without the fear of rejection. Even though Annelle and Ouisar change the most, every character within theplay changes; none remains stagnant. Clairee begins to live her own life after her husband dies, M'Lynn (Gail West) gives a part of herself to her daughter Shelby (Mhari Frothingham Sandoval), and Shelby learns what it takes to give of herself for her child. In thefinalscene, everyone in the audience, including the men, responds to the characters' feelings. The audience easily identifies with their emotions, crying and laughing along with them. The personal interaction between the actors and the audience makes "Steel Magnolias" a play worth seeing. "Steel Magnolias" is playing at the Lamb's Theatre until March 28. Tickets range from $15 to $19. Lamb's Theatre is located at 500 Plaza Blvd. in National City.

There I suspend my other-worldly disbeliefjust long enough to discover j what life on other planets would be 1 like. Hollywood is pretty much bipolar in its treatment of aliens from outer space. On the one side are filmmakers who believe that aliens should be snarling, spewing creatures with more make-up than Tammy Faye Baker and a disposition slightly worse than Don Rickles. These galactic heavies all seem to have an insatiable taste for foreign food (namely human flesh), and are generally hard to kill. Traditional cinema oftentimes correlated extra-terrestrials with names like "it," "thing" or"that "oozy ball of slime that reeks havoc upon mankind." In virtually all cases, bad aliens pose a threat to the whole of earthly civilization. It's either us or j them. On the other hand, good aliens seem to be humanity's only hope. Their cosmic experiences correlate with the notion of wisdom and beauty. Traditionally they have been overlooked by Hollywood, which opted for snarling menaces over blubbering do-gooders. Not until the Reagan administration did the film industry feel inclined to create creatures that could actually save usfromsocial and moral despair. Good aliens are harder to recognize . than bad ones. Many times they take on human form, looking better than most GQ Magazine models. These beings are generally fragile and can die from little more than a hard look. Here is an alphabetical glossary of celluloid aliens, listed by the movies in which they appear: "ALIEN, ALIENS": Big bug-like SEE MOVIES/PAGE 14 �TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1 992 /PIONEER M usic C alendar Dave Mason Band: Performs with special guest Maggie Mayall at the Belly Up, Solana Beach, March 18 at 8:30 p.m. 481-9022 Diane Schuur: Theatre East presents Diane Schuur, accompanied by the Bill Yager Jazz Ensemble, April 10 at 8 p.m. at 210 East Main Street, El Cajon. 440-2277 Hank Easton Band: Featuring Reggie Smith, Archie Thompson and Team Mojo at Sound FX, San Diego, on March 18.5608022/278-TIXS Ice-T: Body Count joins Ice-T with special guest Eye and I March 28 at 9 p.m. at Iguanas, Tijuana. 278-TIXS * Jimmie Dale Gilmore: Performs with special guest Marty Brown at the Belly Up, Solana Beach, March 19 at 8:30 p.m. 4819022 Leon Redbone: Performs with special guest Russ T.

Tilt ' n Kilt, located at 1660 Capalina in San Marcos is just the place to kiss the blarney stone, sip some heady ales or fling a few darts for your Saint Patty's Day celebration. No pub would be complete without a bountiful offering of munchies and fine beers, and Tilt 'n Kilt delivers both. I tried the Celtic Nachos at $2.25. Unlike the western American fare, this taste treat uses British chips as a base instead of tortilla chips. In the British Islands, chips are the actual equivalent of our French fries. Tilt 'n Kilt serves these hot, yet slightly greasy, morsels with a wonderfully tangy cheese sauce and chopped scallions. The appetizer is a delicious blend of European charm and American Southwestern z fnf: Another British favorite is the banger. This strange-sounding BY L A R R Y BOISJOLIE anomaly is a large, slightly spicy sausage that simply must be tried. I ordered a Beer Battered Banger, a sausage dipped in a light Guinness Beer Batter and served with steak fries or Potatoes O'Brien and cole slaw. The batter formed a crusty shell around the sausage, similar to that found on fish and chips. At $4.25, the combination topped my list of taste sensations. The beer selection represents the best of the British Isles. For those looking for a suitable brew for Saint Patrick's Day, Tilt 'n Kilt offers Guinness Stouton tap. WhenGuinness is bottled, it loses some of its full, rich flavor. When served on tap, the dark ale's full malty taste shines through. I had a Black and Tan, a portion of Watneys ale topped with a layer of Guinness Stout. Strangely, the two liquids do not mix, rather the dark Larry Boisjolie is Editor-irvChief for Pioneer. •EE TOUCHLESS CAR WASH NO CLOTHS - NO B RUSHES In the Grand Marcos Auto Center off 78 Freeway 740 W.

These foul creatures are smart, take on several hideous forms at differing stages of their development and have a particular dislike for Sigourney Weaver. "THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET": This silent, benign creation from director John Sayles heals broken video machines with a touch ofhis hands. As a stranded alien who has the body of a black man, the brother tries to conform to social rules and ideologies. What he does, is create a powerful social statement on racial alienation. The brother is a comedic good guy trapped in an ultra-serious environment. "COCOON": Anotherexampleof the sickeningly sweetprotagonist from outer space. These lovely creatures, which masquerade as humans, have the cure for the bane of all mankind, old-age. They offer eternal youth and are treated with infernal disregard by himans. Even so, they are the kinds of sweet, likable aliens that Hollywood shunned for so many, years, but audiences go ga-gaover. Don't waste your time with the sequel though. "Cocoon D: The Return" simply tries to milk audience response from the first film with dismal results. "CRITTERS": Once again we have little monsters with no redeeming social value, but great hunger. The protagonists in this film look like Brillo pads with teeth. They roam the countryside in search of food (anything from automobiles to human flesh), and multiply faster than hamsters in an orgy. The movie satirizes Hollywood alien flicks with every opportunity with comedic results. "E.T.—THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL": Unless you've been hiding on Mars for the last decade, E.T. has become a familiar sight in American culture. This cuddly creature finds itself stranded on Earth with no way home. It is a fragile, magical being which brings out the child in all who watch it—and watch it they did. E.T. remains in orbit as the most popular film (money wise) of all time'. "MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIEN": I wish Kim Basinger, who plays the title role, didn't live on this planet. She is too perfect for womankind. She is also perfect for the role of the benign alien that learned all about earthly culture from satellite transmissions of television sitcoms. "PREDATOR": Arnold Schwarzenegger finally meets his match (well almost) with a groady-looking hunter from outer space that kills humans for pleasure. Seen also in the flawed but fun "Predator2," this alien can blend like a chameleon with its surroundings and carries aformidable extra-terrestrial arsenal. "STARMAN": Jeff Bridges was cheated out of an Academy Award for his performance as yet another alien trapped on planet Earth. This particular visitor from another planet is actually a glowing sphere which clones the body of a human to survive the harsh world in which it is stranded. Starman is a movie about love and magic, with an alien that tries to blend with an unkind world. -THE THING": This John Carpenter 1982 Sci-Fi thriller is based more on the circa 1930 novella "Who Goes There?" by John W, Campbell than the 1952 Howard Hawkes film. In the movie a group of scientist in Antarctica find a spaceship imbedded in the ice. The inhabitant of the ship is a vicious changeling that takes on the form of any animal it wants. The question throughout the movie is, who's the alien and who i sn't "The Thing" probably gives more scares per square inch than any alien movie on the list CASStOY'S CALENDAR/CONTINUED Crimes and Reasons: This audience-participation dinner show is presented by Killer Dinner Theatre Productions and runs through April 11 atthe Joyce Beers Community Center, San Diego.

A couple of weeks ago, several of us overworked students along with our families went on a picnic to Rancho Cuyamaca State Park. All of us complained that we really did not have the time necessary to take a Sunday Afternoon away from our studies, but we did it anyway. It was glorious. The crisp air and pine smells awakened a feeling of reality into our abused brains. We had a potluck picnic and we all over-ate. So we took a long nature walk to make sure we would have enough room to stop for a piece of Julian apple pie a la mode on the way home. Rancho Cuyamaca State Park, located about 14 miles south of Julian has campgrounds, picnic sites, museum, lake, even equestrian camping facilities. The park is riddled with Sullivan's T ravels BY KATHY SULLIVAN nature trails, from easy to extreme. In case you have had your head in the school books for too long and haven't noticed—wildflowers cover our foothills. The drive to the Julian Mountains this weekend would not only be an immersion in color from the flowers and meadows but would include a good chance of snow at the higher elevations. A trip to the mountains this weekend presents a pleasurable way to preserve sanity during mid-terms next week. But, if your personality will not allow you to relax enough to enjoy some stolen moments before finals, a picnic in the mountains also acts as a recovery mechanism for an over-taxed mental system.
