The Cougars Surf Team, in their first year of competition, was able to compete and place higher titan other local colleges such as the University of San Diego and San Diego State University. "Our performance at nationals was exceptional, considering it was our first year competing in the NSSA. Everyone did their best and ended up finishing right along side the big schools that have done well every year. The most unique thing about Dave Kinacannon, is now returning for his second season. He missed two tournaments last season due to a broken leg, but he was still able to qualify for nationals and placed tenth. "We made something out of nothing; we all worked together," said Kinacannon. San Marcos is that we have such a small amount of people to draw from.

Among its many findings, the audit asserts that certain CSUSM CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the MBA program offered through Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various laws, regulations, and California State University (CSU) policies and procedures." According to the audit, "over $300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF) expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF program "were made as grants to CoBA faculty". In its official July 16 press release, CSUSM has maintained that it had taken action to correct the situation. The audit also highlights various ways in which leaders and prior cam|>Us administrators acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which includes the following: - CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it separately hired student advisors. CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in a manner that reduced student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty. CoBA discretionary expenditures were often, inadequately supported and inappropriately approved. Hourly rates for faculty with consulting contracts ranged from less than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour without any perceptible justification for variances in the rates charged. Jack Leu, associate professor and former director of the MBA program from 1999-2001, notes that "Cal State-business schools have had inadequate funding for decades." Professor Leu states the problems that the program faced which include the struggle in recruiting talented faculty and how their actual workload of giving up a winter or summer break for extra pay "was rewarded with sub-market compensation." According to Professor Leu, "We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU campuses. However, we taught our students not to be limited by system constraints, not to accept status quo and to take the journey less traveled. Perhaps we must also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to p eril" In terms of how the Extended Studies MBA has operated as an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was "improperly administered" by the CoBA and ES management. Some examples of those findings include that: - Campus standards over grades were iiot followed. ES exercised little control over the operation of the CoBA ES MBA program. In addition, it retained few official accounting or academic records for the program as it does for all other ES programs at CSU San Marcos. Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and MBA program leadership failed to act with due care and attention toward Office of the University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the Continuing Education audit in December 1999. - Concern regarding thé management of the * CoBA, more specifically how the ES MBA program is being operated, has been expressed by students. Continuing Education Revenue1 Funds are expended in accordance with Education Code requirements, and training has been scheduled for administrative staff and faculty. 5. Special consulting contracts that pay faculty for duties typically included in their teaching responsibilities have been discontinued. 6. Pay for hours worked by faculty on grants now correlate to actual pay rates. While the special investigation gives numerous recommendations "which would mitigate the recurrence of similar findings In his article, Professor Leu in the future," in its press release, also states, "Faculty must not the university has listed the fol- be discouraged.

In my capacity as your A.S.I. Secretary, over the summer I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than simply walking by them on my way to another spot on campus. It seemed to me that almost every time I would walk through a crowd of freshmen guys talking (or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme repeated over and over. It went something like, "Daaamn bro, look at all the hot chicks here yo, we're outnumbered like two to one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just as excited about that ratio when I first came to this school. Unfortunately what these guys don't realize yet (but they undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up" with any girls, let alone one.

It's common knowledge that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are that, first of all, we simply don't talk to enough girls, and since most of us aren't very perceptive or sensitive, usually we either misinterpret (or just plain, miss) the signals girls do give us that are supposed to let us know they wouldn't mind it if we talked to them more and/or asked them out on a date. When I told my 12 buddies this, they all grudgingly concede that they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not being able to read signals that girls are supposedly sending to them, they get outright indignant and sometimes even kind of pissed off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they all retort. "Are we supposed to be like mind-readers or something man? Are they using telepathy or something?!?! See man, that's what's messed up about chicks is that they always expect you to come to them, but when you do think you've received some kind of signal and you do step to them, 99.9% of the time you either just get straight up dissed, or they're nice but didn't �W ho B e n e f i t s W hen S t u d e n t s H ave t o C rash C l a s s e s By Gail Tarantino Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again. Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the school only offers two sections of a core class that you need, so you are left having to crash a class that you can't graduate without. You are desperate. You have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've got to have this class. really want anything to do with you and you start thinkin' you're crazy 'cause you were sure they were givin' you the go-ahead, but then it never works out, you never get any love, you end up pissed off at yourself, frustrated, lonely, and highly discouraged... and after a while you just stop trying to talk to them with any hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all your boys are like, "man, the chicks at this school are wack!" I think whatthe guys are trying to say is that girls need to stop waiting for guys to approach them, and they need to be clearer about the signals they give. Please ladies, don't take this personally and try to see this for what it really is: A CRY FOR HELP. The guys at this school are frustrated and confused. They want to get to know you better, but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix this problem. Guys like to fix things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this school would really appreciate it if one of you that read this would write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong. And if you don't feel like writing an article but would like to share your thoughts feel free to email/ call me (see below), or stop by my office in Commons 203, and then I'll turn around and write a follow up article. So you arrive early on the first day of class only to find that it's standing room only. You wait silently for the adjunct du jour to arrive, while wondering how many others will try to crash. You ponder your possibilities. Usually the instructor will either refuse all crashers (in order to keep the class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there will only be 15 students still enrolled), or just let graduating seniors crash. I'm not just talking about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some students have to crash multiple classes every semester. to know each other all that well. We don't hang out together outside of school enough. We don't party together enough. I repeat, WE DON'T PARTY TOGETHER ENOUGH. This needs to change. No, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. We need to have more parties. In my experience and that of all my friends, parties are clearly the best places to meet people, and lay the foundations for sometimes long-lasting and rewarding friendships. But how many big cool parties did you get invited to and go to last year based on your connection to someone at this school? Undoubtedly there are many of you out there that could count them on one hand, ^nd probably still more that couldn't count any. This needs to change. We need to party together. We need to have fun together. We need to be able to say to ourselves after we leave this place, "My time at San Marcos was so fun, that school rocked, I made so many friends, I went out with so many girls (or guys, depending on what you go for), I had the time of my life, I have no regrets and I 'm sad to be leaving." Unfortunately, at this point, I doubt most of us would say this. So, let's party. I challenge everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to a house that it would be cool to throw a party at, to offer to host a big kickass party. If you need help organizing it, come talk to me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a big party ourselves but we can't because we just moved into a condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin' me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself and everyone else at this school a favor, call me. But folks, there's really no amount of any such suggestions that would change the situation here. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. What we all need to realize is that ultimately, it's not a matter of whether it's more the guys fault or more the girls fault for keeping us all single, lonely, and wishing we weren't... ultimately the problem i s that for the majority of Hie students here, the environment we interact in, this school, is fundamentally nonAlone, we'll continue to wish conducive to fostering interperthings were different.. .together sonal relationships. we could make this place rocle We drive to school, go to class, then leave right away (usually Erik Roper alone) to go to work or some other commitment. We don't get While getting the classes you need is always a challenge, one thing is for certain: the system of crashing works to the detriment of students and faculty, and to the benefit of the administration which is why the administration likes it and will continue to sit back and not do a thing to dismantle it. classes but only getting paid for two. The administration saves on payroll, collects maximum tuition fees, and can continue pretending that the existing number of classes that are offered to students is sufficient. So while frustrated students cope with inadequate class choices, the part-time instructors get less pay and have larger classes. This is a very conLet me explain.

Yes, we students are the customers, and the college would cease to exist without us. The students deserve better treatment than we have received in the past, and better than we are receiving now. So the next time you crash a class successfully, be sure to tell the teacher thank you. And for all you instructors that take crashers; thank you. Without you some of us would not be able to graduate on time. R epublican B ait a nd S witch Recently Bush has proclaimed the greatest Republican fable of them all, that all of Nixon's economic troubles were the fault of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Is this factually correct? "At the same time, [Bush] insisted upon fiscal discipline, drawing parallels between economic conditions during the Vietnam conflict and those now surrounding his war on terrorism. In the 1960s, war spending was not balanced by cuts in the rest of government spending and, as a result, the 1970s saw deep unemployment, growing deficits and spiraling inflation, [Bush] said" (Aug 18, 8:16 AM ET By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, AP). course, the executive Republicans Milton advocated tax cuts to have never balanced a budget the top wages earners as the way to stimulate the economy with since. a 'trickle down' effect.

Bigger and bigger deficits from Milton-Reagan folly resulted. COMMENTARY If you believe that today's economy is the result of Clinton's presidency, perhaps the above claim would be considered reasonable. But let 's take a stroll down memory lane to that time of strife amidst love, the 1960's> and judge events for ourselves. Johnson knew the Vietnam War was a mistake by 1966, and spent the rest of his presidency alternating peace negotiations with targeting bombing. Johnson made one of the supreme sacrifices of any president in our history by taking responsibility for his Vietnam failure and did not seek to be reelected. He spent the rest of his presidency in non-partisan peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese to bring an honorable end to the war, and allow a predecessor to negotiate freely with out the responsibility for his actions. Johnson fell on his sword, handing Nixon a way to end the conflict, reduce defense spending, and keep the balanced budget alive that Johnson handed Nixon in 1969. Of The deficit spiral could only be stopped by another modest Keynesian democrat, Bill Clinton. A slight increase on taxes paid by those whose incomes exceeded $200,000 a year allowed for a few targeted investment and research programs to blossom. In a few years, deficits gave way to surpluses and the middle class was again treated to Keynes understood the wisdom targeted tax cuts. of stimulating growth through Now here comes George Bush public works projects.

The missile sent was an unmanned Minute Man III, and its destination was the Marshal Islands, thousands of miles away in the central Pacific Ocean. Weather experts say that the time of the launch and the clear weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi- light affect" that many people saw that night. As the missile climbed to enormous altitudes, the vapor trail left behind the missile froze. Consequently, the rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue. Matty, from the Matty Show on 91X radio said that the United States Air Force (USAF) does inform the media about missile launches that are supposed to occur in the area. However, he stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague. Apparently the USAF told 91X that there would be a launch sometime in September between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only is this a very broad window for a scheduled test, but it was also late, albeit only by a half an hour. Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event, and there was a strange mixture of emotions in the air. It was a combination of apprehension, awe, and amazement. Only after they realized that there was no apparent danger did it become apparent that the event was merely both an awesome and powerful spectacle. Official Air Force photo.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer There are no skate parks in San Marcos, leaving the entire population of extreme sports participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and bikers, with no legal place to practice their sport. "There are no future plans for a skate park in San Marcos," explained Mayor of San Marcos F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However, Smith alluded to a new public park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road that should be complete by Janu- ary 2003. At the new San Marcos park, there would be an assigned area (approximately half the size of a basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their equipment. In this area, there would be no ramps, rails, or ledges to ride or grind on - that leavesflatground. This new park will not be a skate park because it will lack ramps, rails, and ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options for extreme sports participants to use. substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a ledge at CSUSM. The marks on the ledge can be from bikers, inline skaters, or skate boarders. However, the fact remains that public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is hearing from the San Marcos community. Schramm asserted that in the future of San Marcos, as many At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built, that may or may not include skate parks. He also said that construction of a skate park would not be worth the hassle, because local children and teens would still practice their sports on public property, even if skate parks were built. However, Robert Levienos of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a new skate park in San Marcos would encourage him and other extreme sports participants to refrain from practicing on public property, because they would have a place to legally skate. If there are no plans, there Damage to wall from skate boarding in front of University Hall. Photo by Desmond Barca For any questions or informamay not be a skate park in the future of San Marcos.

Clever Cultural B y AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is well known for its cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is this unique quality that enhances the campus' cultural experience. Professors like Deborah Small, Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos eagerly devote their time and efforts to educating students about different cultures, and in a sense, opening up the world to them. This university offers many such opportunities to explore the wide varieties of people on the planet without even leaving the campus. tures (VPA 311) introduces students to a variety of cultures from around the world through various art forms, such as film, music, dance, and writing. This unique course utilizes the talents of several instructors, with Small acting as the "cheerleader for her colleagues," as she put it. With a new instructor every week, this course is more like a fun day at the cultural arts center rather than a required course. Tessa Allen, a CSUSM junior, enjoys going to World Cultures class because "it is so diverse, and it covers all mediums of art."

The CAMP program offers academic, personal and financial support, followed by mentoring opportunities for the second year to help students complete their baccalaureate degree and a subsequent teaching credential for those who choose teaching as a career. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete theirfirstyear of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with bacca- 43 grantees are made up of institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations that cooperate with such institutions.

In 1999 the CAMP program was included as part of the Clinton administration's "Hispanic Education Action Plan." The program's funding increased significantly. "Currently, within our migrant service area there are over 1,200 migrant students who are eligible for CAMP. Additionally, there are migrant students in the Imperial Valley, Southern Riverside County, and Southern San Diego County who are not served by a current camp grant and who would be eligible to participate in the Cal State San Marcos program. Working closely with our migrant regional 88 percent of the 2,400 annual CAMP participants complete their first year of college successfully, and overall 75 percent graduate with baccalaureate degrees Necochea said, "Many of the migrant students will be firsttime/full-time students to attend the university from their families; this grant will help provide the support they need in order to be successful with a rigorous and demanding university program."

By now, most students have seen their syllabuses and have acknowledged the 10-20 page research paper due at the end of the semester and immediately put it in the back of their minds, to be thought about around week 13 or 14. Probably not the best idea, and for any new students, be prepared: the professors are looking for good papers and here's a big clue, they know the difference. Acknowledging students' tendencies toward procrastination mixed with mega fears about writing, I was determined to find out how to write a good paper. Yvonne Muelemans, the Science Librarian, and Judith Downing, the Humanitarian Librarian, explained how to find out the best ways to research papers along with the biggest challenges students encounter trying to get these papers done. Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves enough time, even for simple things, suqh as copying and downloading articles." All these little nitty-gritty things take time and can cause a lot of problems. Waiting for the last minute only to find out that when you arrive in the library the server is down can put students into a tailspin. This does not happen a lot, but it can happen - and it can when you wish it had not. Another thing to look out for is although Cal State San Marcos has around 200,000 volumes To Research encounter students whose topic is either too broad, too narrow, not clear or the student is not sure of the assignment. I have actually had students come in and say 'I need to write a history paper.' That would be too broad. And other students want the product, the grade, and don't want to do the process. The process is the education.... once the student is clear on the topic and they start getting the information or research needed for the Also, CSUSM is part of the paper, that's when the assign"Circuit" which includes San ment becomes interesting and Diego State University, UC San the learning takes place."

So if students are doing a search and the volume needed is in the Annex, the book needs to be ordered.

El motivo de su visita a la clase fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera como persona de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell, estudiante de SSM 482D, esta clase es básicamente para ayudar a los estudiantes con licenciatura en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área. Figueroa obtuvo su maestría en Negocios en Ucrania. Él trabajó como contador privado y como contadorfiscalen el gobierno de México. Además, Figueroa en su trabajo como cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos. El miedo, para Figueroa, es el peor enemigo de cualquier persona. El cual, de acuerdo con él, se debe reconocer que existe, pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará la vida de las personas que lo hagan. mayor reto en su vida ha sido entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el mundo en la época de los 70s cuando la vida fácil que conocía cambio de repente. Figueroa expresó que su mayor error sería mezclar las emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que para evitar los errores y tener éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad para reconocer que se cometió un error y estar en contra de la codicia. A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para balancear la vida personal con la profesional. Él contestó que él era una persona egoísta y que si tenía que trabajar en domingo lo hacía pero que le gustaba respetar su vida privada y que si lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba. De acuerdo con Figueroa, el También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada con su trabajo, siempre buscando la manera de estar cerca de su familia. Otro de los consejos dados por Figueroa fue que las personas deben de ser ellos mismos y escuchar pero no creer todo lo que escuchen. Él añadió que hay una razón para todo, e invitó al público a cuestionarse y a abrirse a los demás.

N o es que crea que la sentencia contra la nigeriana es injusta, porque lo considero totalmente injusto y creó que el veredicto debe de ser revocado. A continuación entenderán a lo que me refiero con la situación de las mujeres en México y en la cual Fox se necesita enfocar en lugar de criticar a otras naciones. Hace dos años que México espera un gran cambio social, político y económico con la nueva presidencia del Panista Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este cambio parece no estar tomando lugar o va a un paso lentísimo incapaz de ser visto ni con el mayor lente magnificado. La corrupción, la pobreza, y la falta de empleo al igual que la violación a los derechos humanos siguen presentes en la sociedad mexicana. N o obstante, el presidente Fox hace alarde de Desde 1993 en Ciudad su presidencia y de los logros Juárez, Chihuahua, México, obtenidos, los cuales jamás han alrededor de 2 84 mujeres han sido vistos por los mexicanos. sido encontradas muertas y hay aproximadamente 450 La gota que derramó el vaso desaparecidas. D e las mujeres y que me impulsó a escribir encontradas muertas, algunas esta carta fue el haber visto han sido golpeadas, violadas, y escuchado a Fox decirle al mutiladas, o apuñaladas y país de Nigeria cómo tratar arrojadas en cualquier parte a las mujeres. En especial, de la ciudad, Mientras que él se estaba enfocando en la de las desaparecidas no se nigeriana que fue sentenciada sabe absolutamente nada. Sin a morir apedreada por tener un embargo, Fox no ha usado su hijo fuera del matrimonio. Fox poder como presidente para pidió a Nigeria que cambiara exigir al gobierno de la ciudad, esta sentencia. Sin embargo, lo municipal y estatal de Chihuahua que él olvida e s que en su propio y mucho menos al gobierno país hay muchas violaciones a federal para investigar estas los derechos humanos. Sobre numerosas muertes tan trágicas. todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres asesinadas y desaparecidas trabajaban en maquiladoras, usualmente de noche, para poder ganar un sueldo y darles de comer a sus familias. Tristemente para muchas de ellas, debido a la falta de empleo en el país, esta era su única opción de trabajo. Esto me hace recordar otro punto por el que Fox todavía no ha cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido dos años en la presidencia. Me refiero a la pobreza que se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años debido a la falta de empleo y salarios justos; pero no puedo profundizar en esta ocasión debido a la complejidad del caso. Sobre las promesas de Fox, como decimos en México solo me resta decir que "de lengua me como un taco." e internacional, no hay más de 30 muertes resueltas. Además, de los pocos sospechosos detenidos de cometer estos asesinatos, hay grandes dudas sobre la verdad de su culpabilidad ya que muchos los consideran chivos expiatorios que el gobierno ha usado para aparentar resolver los casos cuando en realidad esto no es cierto. En lugar de estar perdiendo el tiempo pidiéndole al presidente Bush por una amnistía para que más mexicanos puedan venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox debería de atender mejor la situación interna y caótica de México. Debería de establecer un mejor gobierno con una justicia verdadera al igual que abrir más fuentes de trabajo para evitar que sus conciudadanos tengan que abandonar su país y en la mayoría de las ocasiones a sus familias. Entiendo que un presidente no puede cambiar décadas de corrupción y malfunción social, política y económica; pero, el esfuerzo que un presidente haga durante su gobierno, definitivamente ayudará mucho a mejorar la situación en el futuro. Hace alrededor de dos meses, las familias de todas estas mujeres asesinadas y perdidas, pidieron justicia para encontrar a los culpables de tantas muertes, y ayuda para encontrar a aquellas todavía desaparecidas. Sin embargo, esto pareció no haber sido escuchado por la justicia mexicana y mucho menos por Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos los culpables o sospechosos acusados de tantas muertes. Mi mensaje para el presidente D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar en México, antes que en ningún otro país, las violaciones de derechos humanos al igual que los crímenes contra las mujeres, que tristemente no sólo acento o pasan en Chihuahua sino en muchos otros estados mexicanos y que sean penalizados duramente y justamente por la ley. En lugar de exigir que otros países hagan esto, ponga usted el ejemplo para entonces poder tener derecho y la desvergüenza de exigirlo en otros países. Como ciudadana mexicana preocupada por la situación en mi país y como ciudadana del mundo, exijo que estas muertes y desapariciones no queden impunes y que los culpables sean encontrados y llevados a la justicia verdadera, que también se necesita establecer en México. Si ni siquiera usted hace respetar los derechos civiles de las mujeres en su propio país, ¿qué cara tiene para exigir que otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar de exigir algo que ni siquiera usted hace por las personas de su país. N o se olvide que el buen presidente por su país empieza.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art collectors as well as thousands of fans each waiting up to five hours to meet Manson, engage in some light chitchat, and shake Manson's hand. The event entitled "The Golden Age of the Grotesque", which by the way is the title of Manson's new album in progress, ran from Thursday to Saturday. I arrived on Friday at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the painting were marked sold. The paintings ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Over all it was quite an event, with a parade of humanity ranging from Manson and his beautiful entourage all decked out in immaculate wardrobe and make up, to art collectors to Goth rockers, punks, to regular Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean Penn and Jason Lee attended the exclusive engagement. Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German expressionism, many of which were similar to stylistically to the work of Egon Shiele. Among the self portraits and portraits of celebrities including his significant other Dita Von Tooco were subjects tVint were enKi^tc that wwp Teese, clearly intended as social satire. The satirical paintings included a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler, a version of Superman entitled Ubermensch and a self-portrait in which Manson depicts himself as a creepy version of Mickey Mouse. Thought the event was free, in order to meet Manson and get an autograph, fans had to purchase one of Manson's limited editions, lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece. One of Manson's fans, Julia Velasco of Pomona, complained that she had to spend $160 in order for everyone in her party to meet Manson. Though some of the attendees were irritated by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed appreciative. Outside, I talked to Lexa Vonn, of the rock group Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band and commended Manson for his loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn Pointed out that they look much better in person than on the web. Another fan I talked to, Naokol Matsumoto, told me that she came to the U.S. two years ago to learn English for the express purpose of communicating with Marilyn Manson. All of the images shown here are of original paintings by Marilyn Manson. Photos are courtesy of www.marilynmanson.com �-f fear of 'dangerous' art." paintings and didn't make it on Manson's official website www.marilynmanson.com/ For those of you who are to Hollywood last weekend, at . Manson keeps interested in seeing Manson's most of them can be viewed grotesque/ and updated Journal on his website. In his online journal Manson had this to say about his exhibition: "I paint scabs. Cover wounds, encased in scars. Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Imprisoned in jails that are owned by the Bourgeois who treat them like criminals...Kunsts! Talking about them and not to them." And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art." Currently there are not show dates available for Manson's upcoming tour On his influences, Manson had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and Manson is much more than just a shock rocker, as he is so often referred to as in the media. I've read his autobiography, listened to his albums, seen his music videos, listened to interviews, and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk, it is evident that he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Given the range of his artist: interests and ability, the fact that he has had such a widespread influence on pop culture as well as rallied himself into a lucrative industry, isn't very surprising. The term Shock Rocker, doesn't describe him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's art challenges anyone willing to put their biases away and take art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to think and open our minds. People who don't understand Manson, or think his art is gratuitous or only done for shock value, are people who have judged him prematurely; people clearly have the right to dismiss art without bothering to investigate, or make an informed judgment, but in my opinion passing judgment in this way is irresponsible and relates back to what Manson is rebelling against in thefirstplace. Anyone who has the time to examine contemporary art in depth will at the very least respect Manson's accomplishments as well as his courage and determination under heavy criticism, even if they don't care for his art or music. �Gaming On-Line Style By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer First off, this is a piece of those of you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for the Xbox.

As a Literature and Writing major at California State University San Marcos, I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity. Oftentimes, while I am sitting in these classes, I find myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this school of thought in a way that points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is over, I never feel more connected to someone else of the selected ethnic background of the day, but instead I feel further removed. Take for example a class like LTWR 450, Multiethnic American Literature. The course outline for this class says that it is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American discourses such as African American, Jewish American, Latino American, [and] Japanese American." To title this course Multiethnic American Literature is a slap in the face to all of the wonderful writers incorporated into the syllabus. Why not title this course simply American Literature? Why must the university tag this course as Multiethnic? Are they saying that all of the authors that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the same ethnic background and that that those backgrounds are not ethnic? The fact that they must separate this course, and tag it as multiethnic, shows the real lack of progress in cultural diversity at this university. I grew up in New York, where nobody ever spoke of cultural diversity. It was common to have neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds, but the idea was that they were your neighbors. Not your Jewish neighbors, or your Latino neighbors, or your African American Neighbors, but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may have come a hundred years ago from some other country did not matter and was never talked about. K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race: the only race in thé United States, is the human race." He goes on to say "there is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is a place for racial identities in a world that is shaped by racism, I shall argue, if we are to move beyond racism we shall have to move beyond current racial identities." Liberal It is your lucky day. You may be asking yourself, "Why, Matt?" Well it is because today you are going to hear the other side of the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR" by Erik Roper contained much comedic value. First joke, he said President Bush is our "illegally appointed president." That's funny because several liberal media outlets sponsored their own recount of Florida ballots and wouldn't ya know it, Bush still won. The media, except for Fox News, said nothing! Here is a good book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg which tells about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather gives you only what he wants you to hear. Comedy and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right now you may be saying "Wow Matt that is amazing." And you're darnrightit is. A 1996 GAO report stated that we spent $6.6 billion on peacekeeping operations since 1992 and yet we have only been accredited with $1.8 billion of that money. So under the United Nations Erroneous Dept. Act, we stopped paying dues until our overpayments have been credited or reimbursed. Oh God Bless the United Nations which is also one of the leading exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion is hidden under names like "family planning" and "women'srights."The United Nations was also a key player in China's Second joke, the author did not brutal one child policy that has know why America "feels it killed small children and has should be exempt from paying created a sexual imbalance. dues." For the past 50 years, America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we are paying with our taxes and with our people (military) for a world authority. Call me a crazy member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the control of a global government scares me and the freedom that has been preserved by my dad, grandpa, and forefathers is at risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," but the U N has already created a world court and has been given American soil by our previous president. So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they think, "you are ignorant and possibly even stupid" because you listen to one side of the story and believe it. Matt Cotton CAUSC Student If CSUSM wants to celebrate diversity, they should do so by incorporation not by isolation. There is no reason to have a class called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are worthy of being studied, should be incorporated into the United States Literature course because they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate part. The University's program right now is at the same place the Civil Rights movement was forty years ago when the thought was separate but equal. We have come to know that separate is never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

However, this semester my view is being drastically changed and it is being altered in the form of an overflow of cramped and ridiculous parking! Basically as I read the article from last week's Pride, I gathered the truth of the ugliness of our parking. There is only 2,000 parking spaces on campus and yet the school has admitted approx. 6,900 students. Each student is required to on Parkin found that the parking situation is becoming tolerable and many hope that the congestion will die down after the add/drop period. However, the numbers don't lie and class sizes are not dropping as much as they are increasing, which is another article all together! That fact is that after September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed, as well as stack parking to soon follow. Though I understand the red curb's disallowance due to fire hazard (though overlooked in the past 3 weeks), the unmarked curbs and stack parking is desperately needed. The student's money should be seen in action pay sixty-two dollars a semes- dents that have permits park in and not with parking tickets.

Though I Illingworth, like many students, our last week in the happy place know many students that do not has to work before school and so of parking, which many consider pay for these permits and walk to the time to locate a parking spot hell. Another thought to ponder school from various near-by des- is between five tofifteenminis that the faculty also parks on tinations such as Ralph's and the utes. In that time span, students the curbs as Afton Porter pointed overflow, I chose to pay and be are lucky if they can even get out, "The faculty will now be near school. Well to my surprise into a parking lot! parking in our lots and causing there is no parking as stated by even more congestion, yet i f the previous article and the I have discussed the parking we park in their lots we receive response from school is to park issue with numerous students, as a $100 ticket." I challenge you in the overflow. Why should stu- I'm sure many of you have, and CSUSM students to not take this lying down or walking down but to strike. The strike that I am proposing is not as shocking as it sounds. My suggestion is for the following week, the week of Sept. 30- Oct. 4., students should continue to park on curbs and in the dirt. Red curbs can be avoided due to the fire hazard, after all those areas only contain five or so spaces. When parking make sure to place this article under the windshield wipers in plain sight so when a ticket is being considered they will see the true parking permit, the student's voice. These tickets are only meaningful to those giving them and those receiving the profit. My thoughts are that the school cannot justly give tickets to everyone unless they decide to give us all refunds on the permits that they are not properly practicing. Everyone needs to participate. We have no choice. Don't let the last freedom of speech be in our parents' generation, stand up for our rights and what we've paid for! NICHOLE JESTER Senior, LTWR GSUSM T raffic: S elf-inflicted Chaos By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times are what lie at the root of the current traffic problem? Most students have little choice as to what classes they need to take; they must complete the courses required for their major in order to graduate. With this in mind, you would think that the university would schedule similarly required classes close together during the day so that students could easily end one class and begin another and then be done for the day. Unfortunately, this is that there would be less congesnot the case at CSUSM. tion and more convenience if they could keep the similarly It seems that everywhere you required classes close together. go on campus you will hear some- Could one of the main traffic one complaining about parking problems be the absurd amount and someone else complaining of students that start early in about how long their days are the morning and leave their car at school, perhaps these two parked in the lot all day so that issues are secretly intertwined. they can catch their nighttime Classes at CSUSM are scheduled class without having to lose their haphazardly, some early while spot or even worse, risk not being others late, even when they are able to get another one later? all required of the same major. Why would you spread them out Apparently classes are offered so far apart?

Why in the world would you place Mucky Mouse in Suicide in this issue? It lacks humor, subtlety, or thoughtful commentary, as well as informed spelling and punctuation-so what's the point? This is no mouse, it's a sewer rat. Actually, why would you want such tasteless inanity in our college publication at all? I sincerely hope neither the community nor the Zingaro family sees this issue; do the right thing and pull itfromthe stands. There's no pride here. Pam Horner L ETTERS This letter is in response to the letter sent by Pam Horner. I have had classes with Pam and have always admired her intellect and contributions to class discussions. Her letter to the editor was both justified and well composed. As the creator of Mucky Mouse I would like to respond to Pam's letter in this way: I would not have submitted Mucky Mouse to the Pride last week if I had learned about the Zingaro death earlier. The comic was not a response to his death, and was drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide preceded the news of Alex's death and was left in the paper accidentally. I myself did not imagine a connection between ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student population cater to the needs of a select few? And to those people who must waste their entire days sitting around campus awaiting their next class, which may be up to nine hours later, is it fair that you must wait just so you have a guaranteed parking space? believe it is the lack of spaces as much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in blocks, every few hours a ton of spaces would open up for the next block of students to go to class. Maybe the real problem is being overlooked; maybe the real problem has to do with poor scheduling. There is definitely an underlying problem in the parking s ituation, and I do not the comic and the tragic death positive objectives, which I feel less.

Normally, it fronts as a small computer store, run by former Lieutenant Governor candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on Coast Highway in Oceanside, surrounded by many other 'Ma and Pa' businesses. Walking inside, the diversity is almost as great as the different stores that make up this neighborhood. Like's software is available on the only aisle and is flanked by other computers in various stages of use. The far wall contains several paintings and if visitors look close, they will recognize a Rembrandt and a Monet but not the kind that will bring millions, but copies that have been painted by Like. The store has that 'lived in' feel that only a small business can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet quirky room, two men, Like and Byron were planning to make a run at congress under the decent and respectable ticket. against it because many of their companies were profiting from doing business with Iraq, Byron quickly said that Vice-President Dick Cheney had run Halliburton quite successfully while doing business with Iraq during the 90s even with the sanctions After we seated ourselves in and embargos in place. two easy chairs, he began to talk about politics and the first thing Spreading democracy to that came up was Iraq and the other countries especially in the president's determination to go Middle East was another topic in with force.

Byron Byron also pointed out that also mentioned that any operathe former U.S.S.R., China and tion in Iraq will cost hundreds North Korea all have nuclear of billions of dollars over the weapons or are trying to get next ten years and the budget them and the U.S. has not might not be able to come out of attacked them.

England's prime minister. After pointing out that Europeans were that candidates that obtain five percent of the vote in the qualifying elections will then receive a certain amount of campaign money from the state yet, there would be a limit to the amount on private funds. Byron also wants to "reempower" congress and let them do what they are supposed to do, which is debate over what i s best for this country. Byron also talked about his students telling him that they feel like their vote won't make a difference. However, he wants to let them know that for once, yes, it will. CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron 1 When asked what were some of the things that could be done tofightthe war on terror and how to stop terrorism from spreading, Byron offered a profound quote. "Happy people don't make history, we need to be fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We can be setting the conditions for democracy but we can't impose it, we can only provide the model for opportunity. People in the Middle East are stuck, give them the opportunity." Given the fact that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between 15 and 25 with almost no job prospects, this recipe is more fitting than sending in random troops. Many of these people are college educated yet work as street vendors because there's no employment. With regards to foreign policy, Taiwan became another topic of discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated to keeping it independent from China and is even conducting a secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron responded that since president Truman went to China in 1971 and signed the Taiwan Relations Act, every president since him has been committed to the act, which guarantees one China and the peaceful return of Taiwan. Byron said that we should stay committed to that. "What we should be doing is facilitating the foundations of modernity and democracy with the Chinese, we do that, the problem fades," he said. Byron also added that the number one issue with regards to domestic policies was the political system. "The political system, it should be one person, one vote, now it's one dollar, one vote," he said. He pointed out that in the '96 elections had the most money spent and the most votes recorded. He quoted P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a 'Parliament of Whores' because we pay so much attention to special interest groups. Byron has one other huge supporter of his opinion of these groups and that is Republican Senator John McCain, who ironically belongs to his opposition party. According to Byron, we need a constitutional amendment like we had back in the 1800's, when Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded Age,' to stop the special interest groups from retaining so much hold over us. Part of that would include public control over campaign money. This means The event that made Byron decide to run for Congress was after listening to senator McCain speak in addition to talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore quoted Margaret Mead as saying, "If you want something to happen, you have to get up and do it yourself." It struck a chord with Byron and he went home and talked with his wife and the rest is making history. He also added, "Stay away from special interest money, be committed!" as his own advice to keep himself honest. Byron needs roughly 36,000 votes to win. Furthermore, his name will not appear anywhere in the ballot; he is a write-in candidate because the democrats did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th district and his opponent is the republican Dan Issa. Byron also said, "This is your chance to make a difference, together we can make history." For those who want more information on Byron and his standpoint in many issues, visit his website at www.ByronForC ongress.org. This website will also tell you how to vote using the write in method. He will also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic Unity dinner on Saturday, October 5th. For more info call 760-436-6348.

WARCRAFT from page 12 turns to the distant shores of Kalimdor, where the Ores vie for survival against the Night Elves to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own tech-tree, which allows for the construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare. Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice that game focus in Warcraft III has shifted to smaller numbers of individual units rather than massive quantities of expendable cannon fodder. This change renders the environment more like Diablo, and thus Blizzard successfully combines the best play elements of its previous titles into one awesome game. The standard version sells for $39.99 at Amazon or Best Buy. True diehards can pick up the special Collector's Edition for $59.99, which includes an audio CD, DVD and full-color guidebook.

A steady stream of students satisfied their appetites courtesy of the CSUSM Veterans' Association after 5 p.m. on Oct 7th in Founders Plaza. Association barbecue is unique in that the event actually preceded the association. In 2001, a small group of CSUSM veterans got together to develop an event to benefit the campus. The result of their cooperation was not only the first barbecue, but also the genesis of the Veterans' Association, which will hopefully receive greater attention after the success of this year's BBQ. food.

Taylor also added, "It's a great opportunity for students to see the college layout." Cathy Munson, a San Marcos Middle School AVID professor, said that once these students get into college, they might be the only under-represented student in their classrooms. However, Munson explained that this conference gives the students an opportunity to be surrounded by students who are just like them. Jatziri Alarcon, a San Marcos Middle School student, described her experience at the conference. "It's cool because you get to know more about college and about what's better in the future," Alarcon said. " Ih.

Microsoft Shares its Future with CSUSM By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Kerfoot's job involves traveling to large Microsoft customers and telling them about the benefits of working with Microsoft, and their new technologies to come out in the future. The largest of these customers of Microsoft include Nissan, Qualcomm, and many others. According tq Kerfoot, the new technologies that Microsoft plans to release have a substantial involvement with the Internet, and building what will be known as the Digital Economy, or connecting every business together. Over 50 people showed up to Academic Hall 115 Thursday night to hear a little insight on the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott Kerfoot. The presentation was co-hosted by Cal State San Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals (AITP).

Veterans from all branches of the armed services are represented. With roughly 600 veterans attending school at CSUSM, the association has the potential for even further growth. Navy veteran and association member Stan Johnson described the association as being in an early formative stage. Johnson said the association is currently in the process of developing a mission statement and the association members eventually hope to be able to provide assistance to veterans and their families. Some members of the CSUSM Veterans' Association, such as Treasurer Tom Watson, are currently on active duty in the military. Watson is participating in the Marine Enlisted Com- system and phone capabilities.

At the end of the event, free shirts, books, and software were given out, courtesy of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the overall goal of these new technologies is to make information available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. To do achieve this goal, all businesses need to be integrated into one interface, in order to boost AITP officer Aimee Friend efficiency and availability. This said, "AITP is a campus club and services have similar programs on campus. "In the aftennath of Sep 11th, security considerations have forced active duty personnel to adopt a low profile in certain situations," explained Watson, who also expressed his complete willingness tofightfor his county if he is summoned. The CSUSM Veterans' Association meets the first Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m. The association is currently holding its meetings in the Dome, though they are in the process of securing their own room.

Held just beyond Forum Plaza, between University Hall and the new Arts Building, the location was ideal for passing students to observe their peers laughing and having a great time. Overall, the scene was light and happy, and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat with sideline spectators. The competition consisted of four classic events, each a childhood favorite, yet with a contemporary spin. The first in a series of grueling feats of skill was Speed Twister. A member from each team battled with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister mats. Whoever was the last one standing on each one of the mats won points for their team. This was quickly followed by the old camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the event, each member from every team spun around seven times with the bat on their forehead, which was an oversized candle, and then had to slalom their way through a series of orange cones to touch a flag. Sprinting back to where they had begun was the only way to tag the next teammate inline. From there, the players moved on to a condensed Frisbee Golf match, where one member from each team took turns throwing a frisbee into a net trap about 20 yards away. Just as in regular golf, the least amount of throws won. After the adrenaline and energy from the relay before, the golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being tossed randomly like graduation caps. Thefinalportion of the contest was Speed Pumpkin Carving. As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic from a lopsided gourd; it was not merely speed that scored points, but quality as well. Some simply hacked out their Greek symbols, while other teams such as PAN went so f ar as to use a dragon stencil to produce an eye-catching image. Winners were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. First place was awarded to APSS, who received $100 for their efforts. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won $50. PAN won third place and received $25. The prizes went towards the club accounts.

I find that to be absolutely rediculous. When you remake a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with "Psycho," they just added color to Hitchcock's masterpiece. Other remakes follow the same plotting, but update it to modern settings and the like. With "Red Dragon," Brett Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. That's why the credits say based on the novel by Thomas Harris, not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann. Mann's film is a much looser adaptation than Ratners, and rather inferior, in my opinion. So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert, do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if you really believe that Ratner was remaking "Manhunter". I'd also like to know what you thought of the ending of the novel "Hannibal" compared to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público en general la exposición "El Arte Defiende". Esta muy particular exhibición de arte organizada por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo que dirige Michael Schnorr se está presentando en la Galería de Arte del Colegio Southwestern en Chula Vista hasta finales de mes. Se presentan trabajos de niños y jóvenes de la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana, así como también de algunos otros artistas que muestran en sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población. Para estimular la creatividad de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga les enseñan diferentes técnicas de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó que muchos niños piensan que no son capaces de dibujar o pintar un cuadro con valor estético pero que después de enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales utilizados para que puedan crear algo con facilidad y de una manera divertida, los niños se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo. El objetivo de los instructores es el de enseñarles una manera de expresar sus emociones. "La situación en Maclovio es muy difícil. Algunos niños no tienen casa, a otros los abandonaron sus papás, no van a la escuela, andan en las calles todo el día, cargan cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y otros venden drogas para poder comer. Entonces es importante el proporcionar a los niños una manera de expresión no verbal, ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a La galería de pinturas, fotografías y figuras plásticas forma la historia de los habitantes de ese lugar. Los jóvenes y niños plasman sus vivencias en muros hechos de puertas de cocheras. En cada uno de los trabajos que se pueden apreciar en esta exposición se encuentra el alma frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de un joven, de un niño o de un adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de todo tipo. El Taller de Arte Fronterizo puso en marcha un proyecto en Tijuana para defender a los habitantes de Maclovio Rojas. Como estrategia de ayuda surgió "El Arte Defiende", exhibición de arte que tiene como finalidad El dibujo de Jonathan. Foto por Martha Sarabia proteger a la comunidad a través del ingenio artístico. Como parte del proyecto, el Taller de Arte Fronterizo ha invitado a artistas internacionales y nacionales a convivir con la entidad de Maclovio Rojas para que plasmen sus experiencias a través de su creación artística. comunidad autónoma, que sus líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue envolviendo con la comunidad y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir el Centro de Arte Comunitario Aguascalientes. Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que han estado asistiendo a impartir clases de artes plásticas y pintura a la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas. Huato es estudiante de Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego. Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos son profesores y una pintora del Taller de Arte Fronterizo. Todos ellos trabajan con la comunidad, especialmente con los jóvenes y Aguiñiga empezó a colaborar con el Taller de Arte Fronterizo hace cuatro años y medio. Ella cuenta que el proyecto se inició con la idea preliminar de realizar una pintura de Maclovio Rojas. A Aguiñiga le interesó el hecho de que Maclovio era una Maqueta de la comuñidad Maclovio Rojas. Foto por Martha Sarabia Para Huato, es muy importante que ellos se puedan expresar a través del arte, pero también es uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura. "El crear una forma de arte para que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy bueno, pero más que nada es pintar para desahogarse, ellos pasan por problemas que uno nunca se imagina. Para mí el arte es expresión y para ellos debe de ser también," expresó Huato con una actitud optimista. De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor experiencia ha sido el pintar los murales con el grupo de jóvenes. "Todas las actividades eran en la noche y era muy divertido, parecía como que temamos fiesta. Es uno de los mejores recuerdos que tengo," expresó Huato. Huato también habló de la pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la cual realizó con colores de agua. "La forma en que él la pintó me dejó anonadada porque no me imaginaba las cosas que él era capaz de pintar. Es una pintura abstracta, lo que es muy difícil para un niño. Me impresionó el talento que tiene, así que le sigo dando material para que continúe pintando." El arte abstracto de Jonathan tiene las imágenes que repentinamente se le venían a la cabeza y que él quería representar en See MACLOVIO, page 11 �because during competition only to make the extra fund raising effort, perhaps it is achievable," * five can compete.

After a dazzling reverse from #21 LaDainian Tomlinson to #85 Tim Dwight the Chargers opened tip the first quarter 7-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The momentum was in favor of the Chargers, however with turnovers caused by fumbles and interceptions, the Chiefs capitalized on the errors and led at the end of the second quarter by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs.

Es algo que el artista quiere que la gente vea; el que tenga algo en la mente y quiera representar en cualquier tipo de arte" agregó Elizabeth Huato. Sin recibir ninguna forma de pago, los voluntarios en Maclovio Rojas se muestran entusiasmados con el resultado de la exposición y dijeron que continuarán haciendo su labor humanitaria por el beneficio de los habitantes de ese poblado. Con una sonrisa, Huato dijo que es una cosa tan hermosa lo que hace "que ha cambiado mi punto de vista de ver las cosas. Los pocos meses que he estado en Maclovio han cambiado mucho to interceptions of Quarterback #9. Drew Brees and a turnover by Charger's punt returnee #87 Vanover. The turnover resulted in seven points for the Chiefs, which left the Score in the game Chargers 7, Chiefs 17. Just when the Chargers looked as if they were going to lose the game, the Charger's defense racked up a key interception that left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone. The Chargers benefited from the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice for the inzone and score another touchdown that made the score Chargers 14, Chiefs 17. Within those two rushes by Tomlinson, the amount of determination the Charger's offensive linemen had to help their running back reach the endzone. Also, these two rushes by Tomlinson were not simple runs because he had to la mentalidad que yo tema.

This determination and second efforts by the Chargers displayed their will to win. Towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was delivered by Chiefs quarterback Trent Green who increased the Chief's score by seven, and then the Charger's battled back with a hand off to #80 Curtis Conway, which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24. Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with a brilliant pass from Green to Tony Gonzalez that turned into a touchdown reception. However, the Chargers answer back with Tim Dwight's reception of Brees's pass that resulted in la creatividad de los niños.

I am currently a senior at Cal State San Marcos majoring in Business Administration. I also happen to be a person whose native language is Serbian. So, this is why I am submitting an article in my native language.

Su motivación y su entusiasmo honesto son dignos de admirarse. In your October 8, 2002 issue Ms. Sarabia stated "this school is renowned for advocating and promoting diversity.

John Doddridge CSUSM student THE EDITORIAL TEAM WANTS TO KNOW: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PRIDE PUBLISHING LETTERS IN SERBIAN? OR IN OTHER LANGUAGES? SEND AN EMAIL TO pride@csusm.edu AND VOICE YOUR OPINION. Dear Martha Sarabia, I had to take the time and express my admiration and respect for your writing. I enjoy your Spanish section, specially your response to the letter sent by Amy. I love the way you defended why we should have a Spanish section. You were professional and clever. I am looking forward to reading your next Spanish section. Thank you, Sonia Torres Junior Service Sector Management major �Response to "Speak Up to Your Government" Mr. Mann: I just got done reading your piece to about the President and the war on Terror, and I must say, you couldn't be more wrong about everything here! You say we've lost some personal freedoms, like what? Are you upset because you have to arrive at the airport another 30 minutes early since 9-11-01? Wow, that's a real tragedy. But I will take your advice on speaking to our leaders. I'm going to write the President and tell him how grateful I am for his realistic stance on terrorism. I've got news for you Mr. Hi Pride people, First I want to say that the layout of this week's issue was very impressive. You're all doing an awesome job and should be proud of yourselves. I was somewhat perturbed about the Opinion pages, though. I guess it's ideal for former editors to keep their lips shut regarding current editorial decisions, but I rarely speak out against certain Pride-related issues unless I feel they are important. So I hope you don't look at this as a "former-editor-butting-in," but rather another CSUSM student expressing her opinion about her student paper. In a past issue of the paper Pam Horner wrote a letter expressing her distaste for the "Mucky Mouse" cartoon; Desmond Barca's response, however, appeared in the same issue as Horner's letter. In this week's issue, Amy Granite wrote a letter where she disagreed with the editorial staff's choice to include Spanish articles; Martha Sarabia's 10 years with Hussein and nothing has worked. It should be crystal clear to you that Mann: there are evil people in he is another Adolph Hitler in this world such as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Adolph the making. In addition, guys Hitler, etc... who NEVER listen to reason or negotiation. The m only way to stop them from POLITICAL doing more evil is to destroy COIMMENTARY them. Look at Saddam Husr sein; this psychopath has never acquired a weapon that he has like him are the reason that: not used (in 1988 he gassed if you want peace, you have 10,000 of his own people to stop to be willing to fight for it. a rebellion).

Well, please As the president said last allow me to enlighten you on Monday, we've tried every dip- how our government/military lomatic approach for the past really works. As a veteran of the response, however, appeared in I know you're all busy, but if the same issue as Granite's letter. you have any responses for me regarding the editorial policy Now from what I've seen with on this subject, I'd love to hear most newspapers {and if I'm it. I hope my point made sense. wrong, please correct me) readers If it didn't, let me know and I'll and editorial staff typically don't clarify respond to letters until after they have been published; as a reader Please remember that this letter I admire this decision because doesn't come with any ill will, it gives readers like myself a especially since I have a special chance to reflect on the opinions respect for the paper and for of the writer and read his/her members of the editorial staff. perspective. When the next issue comes around I look forward to Best regards, the disagreement and debate that Vicky Segall usually follow opinion letters. With the previously mentioned letters, however, it seemed like Horner and Granite's arguments Hi Vicky, were weakened because of immediate responses from the Thank you for your letter. editorial staff. I was curious if the rest of the student body has the same privilege as the editorial staff and may review and respond to letters before they are published? It doesn't seem fair, and I just wanted to throw this opinion out there. We hadn't really considered the points that you mentioned; we all thought that it would be interesting to have a public dialogue going back and forth in the same issue as well as in consecutive issues. In our eagerness to generate debate we may have overlooked, to some degree, the connotations of our decision. US Army, I can tell you that we go out of our way - more than any other nation in world history - to avoid civilian casualties. The reason that innocent people die is because guys, like Hussein and bin Laden, prefer to hide behind women and children. Why... because they know we won't attack. If you don't believe me, go to Camp Pendleton and ask some of the marines if I'm right. rebuilt their nations for them after WWII? Do you think Hitler would have rebuilt America for us had the Nazis won? Think about it Mr. Mann. Thanks to the courage of our military, (people who voluntarily give up their constitutional rights so you can have yours), we live in the freest country on the planet. And I can't help but laugh when a GRAD STUDENT whines and complains about And how do we exploit other the very country that gives him people Mr. Mann, by spread- the right whine and complain. ing democracy and rebuilding somebody's country for them? That's ridiculous. Dp you think Briän Dobbins, senior the Germans, Italians, and Japa- communications nese felt exploited because we As we're sure you know, readers are quick to criticize the paper and the editors are always on the defensive. It is true that we have taken some advantage of our editorial positions, however we think this is balanced to some degree by the fact that the students who write in are on the offensive, and are not subject to public scrutiny on a weekly basis. Criticism is healthy and appreciated; it means that we as editors have to be able to advocate and show justification for what we are doing. However, being under constant attack takes some getting used to. readers lose interest or shift their attention to newer issues. Two weeks interest fades, both on the part of the letters' authors and on the part of the editors. You ask if the rest of the student body has the same privileges as the editorial team. We can't avoid reading the letters before everyone else; waiting to respond would be a pretense. Daily papers respond as soon as possible and that is usually the next day. However, we are a weekly paper and therefore issues of last week are too old for this week. As the old Mexican saying goes, "No dejes para mañana lo que The idea of waiting until the puedes hacer hoy." Don't put off next issue to respond is attractive until tomorrow what could be because it may create anticipation done today. for our readers, help to captivate them, and ultimately keep them Thanks again for bringing this to picking up the paper/ However, our attention. as we are a weekly paper and not a daily, the letters we receive The Pride Editorial Team are published in response to issues that are already a week We encourage people who agree old. We feel that by responding or disagree with our response to immediately to the letters, we write to us. can address these issues before Response to "Separate but not Equal" This is in response to the article "Separate But Not Equal" by Melissa Reed in the September 24th paper. Melissa, while I applaud your "utopianistic" view on American Society in regards to diversityr I have to say I think it is extremely distorted. Before you jump on the defensive side I want you to know that I truly wish that our society were indeed as tolerant of diversity as you perceive it, but unfortunately it is not. I noticed that you yourself said in your article that, "as a Literature and Writing major... I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity." If the classes were not mandatory, would you have taken them simply out of scholarly interest? Probably not which is why the University chooses to make these t roes of classes mandatory. There are many people, just like you, who instead of celebrating cultural differences look at them negatively as hindrances. Recognizing and accepting cultural differences is what diversity is about. While you may not feel more "connected" to a member of another race or ethnicity after class, you should at least feel like you have a better understanding about their experiences and perspectives. And we all need to learn about these experiences and perspectives as they are extremely different depending on one's ethnic background. We have to be realistic and admit that there is no such thing as a same "across the board" American experience in terms of ethnicity. This is what classes like LTWR 450: Multiethnic American Literature portray. To say that classes like this are a slap in the face — classes that give everyone a chance to study literature which is no doubt based upon the different experiences, good and bad, that result from us living in a diverse society — is a total disregard for diversity. Literature" could not possibly fit the course objective of LTWR 450. While this class' goal is to compare writings from various ethnic groups found here in America, it also says that it " ... examines texts through thematic and/or historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying cultural and historical circumstances." (pg. 268, CSUSM University Catalog). Imagine trying to study the American Civil War from one ethnic perspective. It's impossible because you have, the perspective of the slave owner and then that of the slave. The fact that you do not understand nor recognize cultural diversity as celebrating our differences in an equal manner, and does not necessarily constitute any separation, shows the lack of progress in cultural diversity and maybe even the failure of the classes to do what they were created to do. extent still are, diverse in terms of population, people were not always as accepting, as maybe you were, of the idea of ethnic diversity. I have yet to be made more aware of my multicultural background than when I lived* in New York. And while someone's ethnic background might not have been discussed at your family's dinner table, believe me, it was being discussed at many others. Lastly I would like to address your idea of "incorporation". Let's first get this straight. There is a huge difference between incorporation and assimilation. To just lump all literature, or even culture under the title of "American" would be a disservice and a blatant disregard to those members of the many ethnicities that have contributed to the greatness of America. You cannot expect people to simply label themselves as American especially when they I also grew up in New York have not always been treated City and while neighborhoods as such. And that is a story may have been, and to some that needs to be told from as To simply title a class "American many perspectives as possible. Instead of looking at diversity as a separatist idea, accept it as a necessary way to foster tolerance and as a means to possibly achieve real and total equality. I applaud the University f or its dedication to the idea of diversity and encourage the powers that be to do more to bring about an enthusiastic understanding and acceptance of our culturally diverse society. I also challenge CSUSM students to participate in the understanding of diversity by voluntarily taking classes that foster acceptance and celebrate our differences. By doing this, more people will see that these classes do not perpetuate separatist views but instead at best, create a sense of unity and at the very least, produce a higher level of understanding.

Photo by Desmond Barca. For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San Marcos, the window-painting contest was a hit. The theme chosen this year was simply "Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were displayed on the windows around Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th. The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was chosen as the winner of the 2002 window-painting contest by the Homecoming Planning Committee. Claudia Pawlowski and Justin Knott were the artistic talent that created the window painting next to the coffee cart that won the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and member of the CSUSM Veterans Association, portrayed a cougar on the prowl beside an American Flag, as well as the theme boldly stated at the top of the window. Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's Studies Student Association, Asian Pacific Student Society, Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student organizations that participated in this artistic adventure. The Homecoming Planning Committee members, who voted independently, chose the winner. Then, Wright tallied all the votes to come up with the grand-prize winner.

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Sergeant Robert Lewis of the San Diego Police Department gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m. last Thursday in Academic Hall, room 402. Lewis, who has been on the force for 17 years, is the department's expert on racial profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to Chief of Police David Bejarano. According to Lewis and the SDPD, "Any officer who targets a citizen based solely on their race and for no other reason, that officer is guilty of racial profiling." Even during a time in this nation's history when people have seen a dramatic reduction in crime in virtually every major city in America over the last 10 years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable hotbed of controversy. What makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is almost impossible to prove that a person has been a victim of racial profiling, but that it is, at times, even more difficult to discern whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the first place. From Jan. to Dec. 2000, the SDPD participated in a "vehicle stop study" in order to provide the community with a comprehensive view of vehicle stops conducted by its officers. According to Lewis, the desired outcome of this study was to help the police and the surrounding communities achieve a better understanding of police practices and to ensure fairness. The SDPD believes that by instituting the study, they can allay public perception of racial profiling by officers, strengthen police/community partnership, and retain trust and credibility with citizens. The department was also confident that the results of the data would prove that they honor their claim that they do not practice racial profiling. . Contrary to department claims, the results of the study showed that Hispanics and African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of the population in San Diego, but they represented 29 percent of all vehicle stops. Similarly, African Americans represent 8 percent of the population of San Diego, but they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack.

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Fran de Leon performed in the play Faces of America Friday, October 25, at Miramar College in San Diego. The unorthodox one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and racial and ethnic stereotypes in the United States. Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the script based on interviews with approximately 100 individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition t a de Leon, four other actors perform the show at alternate times as it tours the country. De Leon gave an amazing performance, portraying seven different characters from seven different racial/ethnic groups during the one-hour show. Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various idioms, and superficial costume changes de Leon presented the audience with seven vivid char- acters and seven different angles on race relations in the United States. Co-producer Cox's script is bursting with nuance and insightfulness. The characters dialogue captures their feelings and internal thought processes with a precision and economy that is startling, and de Leon executes the script so effortlessly that the show appears almost improvised. generation American. Along the same lines, a PhilippineAmerican doctor recounts her experiences with the tenacious assumption that as a female of Philippine ancestry she must be a nurse. Significantly, many of the characters are of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds and their struggles to come up with precise linear definitions of their race and ethnicity provides both an element of humor and a key to The structure of Faces of one of the themes of the show.

An African-American man who has earned a PhD and achieved economic prosperity reflects that, in spite of his hard work, many Caucasians assume that he has stolen his BMW and is using his cell phone to conduct drug deals. The message of the show is built into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and strain at identifying themselves along racial or ethnic lines. This situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race and ethnicity is intrinsically racist and unworkable. Modern changes in demographics will ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable tide of travel, immigration, and intermarriage will sweep away the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian woman can so deftly portray people from several different racial and ethnic groups is a credit to Fran de Leon's acting ability; however, it is also and indication of how superficial the perceived differences between these groups really are. Some of the characters in Faces of America dwell on their disadvantages almost to the point of becoming caricatures. The melancholic descriptions they give of their wounded lives border on masochism. Yet, this overstatement is not merely an incidental flaw in the show. By taking stereotypes to the breaking point of credibility the show damages the validity of those Faces of America receives its same stereotypes. funding from the colleges and other organizations who sponsor Faces of America works its performance for their students because it shows rather than tells and other members. the audience the inaccuracy and futility of racial stereotyping. �Treasure Today, Trash Tomorrow the design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age." Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island. By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure. This is definitely true when it comes to environmental artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is the only artist in residence at the New York City Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. About 100 people showed up last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for Ukeles' fascinating presentation on Maintenance Art. She began with her work in the 1970s, where she struggled to make known to the public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to sanitation workers. One of Ukeles' earliest works involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point of view was that these security guards are in effect gatekeepers; they decide who gets in and who gets locked out. To prove her point to the public, she took over an art museum by selectively locking the doors, entrances, and exits to the different exhibits and the building itself. This re-enactment, on her part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers. Autumn in New York Perhaps one of the best-known displays of her artistry began on Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast college campus. The exhibit was broken up into three installments as she took on the duties of a lawn maintenance worker. As this performance took place during autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death of leaves occurred all around throughout the display on the lawn. Her first challenge was to rake and keep clear a perfect rectangle on the lawn, without allowing a leaf to fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the lawn that would be saved from the suffocation by falling and dying leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long sanitary napkin for the 100- year old tree, which she metaphorically saw as being on its period. appreciation. California in a Jar In California, Ukeles is known for her work in providing closure for Los Angeles area residents after the riots of 1992. Since the riots involved so much fire and rage, Ukeles worked with the sanitation department to set up an exhibit of unburnings. People were invited to create unburnings in glass jars. Although, they were never told what an unburning was to look like, it was very much a process art in which the creation of the piece allowed for each person to release emotions brought on by the riots After the giant sanitary napkin and put them in a jar. was built at the base of the tree, she read aloud to the passing people, One high school boy built a small "O Tree, you are having your bed within his unburning jar, his period, everyone is saying how point being that now everyone in beautiful it is." the world can have a bed to dream in, even if it is only within a jar.

The design of garbage should become the great public design of our age.

They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age that tell the time and the health of the air, the earth, and the water. They will be utterly ambitious - our public cathedrals. For if we are to survive, they will be our symbols for survival." After her presentation, she allowed for questions from the audience and offered advice to students. "Pile all of your dreams into here and mangle the boundaries while you are at it! As Chavez is a symbol for this university, this is the university of a chance for everyone. And if you believe in what you are doing, hang in there. When you get turned down, you keep trying because the jury will be different next time and they may love you. You keep going until they realize that you aren't going to leave," urged Ukeles. She ended her discussion with a photo of a gas field in the Fresh Kills Landfill, the final resting place of the World Trade Center that was destroyed nearly a year ago; making the truth well-known, what is considered a treasure today, may be considered trash tomorrow. Ukeles dedicated her presentation to her father, Rabbi Laderman of Denver, Co., as her presentation took place on the anniversary of his death. �ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical the Musical toasts an acid trip specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the sweet, seduction of childhood innocence. The loosely based, Seussical the Musical offered the message Dr. Seuss conveys in his books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political injustices and the simple fairness of treating people the way you want to be treated, if not better. The musical, conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery and Eric Idle, opened with an interpretation of people's situations and how these situations in turn affect other people. Seussical the Musical opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an audience of whimsical children and adults alike. Magic filled the air as the curtain opened to past gymnast and actress, Cathy Rigby, as "the Cat in the Hat." Children stood mesmerized by the multitude of colors and the rhythm and rhyme of the musical. Seussical the Musical told a tale of simplicity. The message conveyed a tolerance toward people and their perspectives and an intolerance of war. This message fits today with the United States bombing Iraq.

It was raining last Saturday, the dirt bike trip was cancelled and the suggestion of wanting to go to a movie seemed appropriate. We went to the movie Ghost Ship, which was okay but definitely not as scary as Stephen King would have made it, but before leaving the theatre came the question, "Want to try and sneak into Jackass: The MovieV' I had no intention of paying to see this movie but the idea of sneaking in sounded like a good proposal. Please acknowledge that I am not suggesting anyone should sneak in. The problem is I am in my forties and so is my date and the idea of sneaking into movies should have ended a long time ago. We headed down the hall to the other side of the theatre and there was a manager checking tickets outside the entrance! I had never seen this before. The movie was sold out and there were kids under age trying to sneak in. "Can I help you, folks?" he asked politely. "Uhh, theatre 8?" "Down the other side of the theatre?" he says. "Thanks!" we say politely back and head back the other way. Darn are plans has been smashed. We decide to try for Barber Shop but we had to wait till the theatre was cleaned.

So one might walk out of the movie thinking why didn't I think of that?

While waiting in line my date scoped out the situation. I noticed that we were not the only individuals trying to sneak into the movie. There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their twenties walking through the hallways saying, "Well, which movie do you want to go to then?" While waiting in line for the coke, my date said, "Okay he's moving away from the door, he's coming this way. Are you ready? Come on, come on, lets go!" We briskly start walking avoiding eye contact as we pass by the manager. Soon as we passed the manager we brpke into a full-blown sprint, at exactly the same time, two adolescent kids jump off the bench and break out into a run in front of us. I am so embarrassed and laughing my The question is would I have eventually paid money to go to this movie. Being an older woman probably not, but I am glad to say I did laugh a lot, all of you guys should definitely go, and girls go ahead, too. It is very amusing to see how dumb men can be.

Punch Drunk Love is labeled a romantic comedy, but is unlike your normal run of the mill love story. It plays on your emotions giving you a full array of feelings from beginning to end.

Barry's unusual behaviors and lifestyle j s a result of the torment and immense emotional abuse that his seven sisters so generously dished him growing up. His successful scheme to get f requent flyer miles from the purchase of "Healthy Choice;" food items {which is something a reallife person did) and his struggles with being an introverted social misfit and having a nervous disposition are things which did not keep Lena Leonard from wanting to be iii his life. Barry's inability jto function normally and have normal relationships with the opposite sex come under direct and blunt scrutiny from his sisters. Barry then meets a woman who has a unique interest in him, despite having been friends with his sister who doesn't speak kindly of him. Emily Watson is the mysterious love interest in the film as Lena Leonard. Watson is also known for her performances in Breaking the Waves and Angela's Ashes. Lena wanders into Barry's life at a most unusual time, but she definitely gives him direction and hope. She helps Barry to face some of his darkest fears and emotions that in his past have pushed him to the point of raged fits of anger and physical aggression towards objects like a restaurant bathroom and windows at his sister's house.

A P CUM SurfTeam Straggles jhraighlMWater SS SS By Joy Whitman For The Pride The ASI CSUSM surf team has been having a more difficult time earning points this season to become a top ten competitor in the national standings. Although the depth of the entire team has thickened, in comparison to their first season the new depth does not seem to be immediately paying off in their end results. Volunteer coach, Amber Puha, attributes these struggles to a lack of improvement from last season and levels of misfortune. In each of the past two events, there have been three out of six players that have advanced out of round one. Newcomer Grayson Adams was the sole survivor in round three at a Ventura event: The special teams unit seemed to be the teams' survival guide for these past two events. Longboarder Dustin Franks took one win at the first event in Ventura and a second place at event two, held at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3. Bodyboarder George Demarino and women shortboarder each helped keep the team afloat by clinching points and earning a second and fifth place at Blacks upon rebounding from the rough spots in the first few rounds. in thefinalround. In comparison to last years Ponto event held in Carlsbad, the team is down from 74 points with 6 out of 9 competitors and a sixth place finish. In Huntington last year, the team had scored 68 points with a 7th place finish gained by its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha also recognizes the improvement by returning players, especially The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU at Blacks and earned a 10th place and USD. The question now remains a matter of how the CSUSM team will respond to this increased talent pool. They have two or more events remaining, not including state championships that will be their final chances to qualify them for nationals and to also prove themselves worthy of a shot at the national title.

The Cougar men were led by sophomore Rene Reyes, who dominated the men's individual 8K race with his first place finish. The CSUSM women were once again paced by the fabulous frosh, Anne Marie Byrne, who finished seventh in the women's 5K. The CSUSM men's team won the team championship with 24 points, ahead of second-place UCLA. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) ranked the men's team 4th nationwide. There were 76 runners and seven teams who participated in the tournament. "Overall, the whole group ran personal best times for the season. The course was prettyflat,but the grass was pretty mushy and slippery, which made it a bit difficult to run in," described Camille Wilborn, a CSUSM senior from Rancho Buena Vista High School in Oceanside.

This will allow them to be well-rested and to have fresh, strong legs when it matters most. "We run about 75 miles per week, but will soon be cutting it down to 40.

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer . In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking, and despite the temporary lot, parking is still a major issue at CSUSM. Even if you decide that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other spaces, your car must be moved prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought of this brilliant plan was just a genius, because you know, here at CSUSM we only hold classes until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong! Some people attend class from 9am until 7pm, so this means that students have-to take their breaks, assuming they have one long enough to walk to the lot and try to find another parking space in a paved lot. Plus, did this genius think of what is going to happen to the dirt parking lot when it starts raining? What about that dirt walkway on the slope to get out of the lot? As we enter our wettest time of the year, this may be something that the administration should have considered. then quickly gathered back up to make it impossible to drive down the row. They rudely shouted at passing cars that "this row is closed" and "no parking here." I decided that they were wrong; this was a parking lot, not a workout facility and I pulled into As if it weren't bad enough the spot despite their actions to that there are more cars than try keeping me out of it. suitable parking spaces as it is, the Cross Country team decided When I exited my vehicle, to hold their morning stretch in I inquired the team, coach the parking lot during rush hour included, as to why they were oh campus. On Tuesday, Oct. stretching in the parking lot and 29, the CSUSM Cross Country blocking traffic when we have a Team laid out their bodies and huge field that was made for just filled up an entire half row of the this purpose. Several members main parking lot for nearly a half replied, "A parking lot is just as an hour during the 8:30 to 9 am good as a field," as if they had traffic rush. been responding to this question all morning. Then another After stalking my prey for member replied that the field parking, he told me that he was was in use by a physical educaparked right where the team tion class and thus they were was blocking his spot. They unable to stretch there. allowed for him to pull out but I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for me, but also for the numerous vehicles stuck in the traffic jam caused by the obnoxious bunch. As I walked down to the field, I saw not a single person on the field or track, meaning no class was there at all. In response to their lie, I speculated that the cause for the Cross Country team's takeover in the parking lot was not due to a crowded field, which let's face it wouldn't be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the fact that the grass was cold and wet that morning and they didn't H opf want to get their shorts wet. Unfortunately, I think this is a horrible excuse for causing an early morning traffic jam, and I believe that disciplinary action should have been taken. Rather than an apology from the team, I received a sarcastic note on my windshield when I returned from class. The note stated, "Hope you have a better day." In response to the note, I would like to say on behalf of the student population, get out of our parking spaces and go where you belong and we would all have a much better day! y 0 u WAye A P.ETT ETL DAY . �Rock Your Own Vote Don't get me wrong.

This year would have been my first time voting and that; in my opinion would have just been a disaster. First of all, had I voted I would have had no idea who or what I was voting for. I would have voted for the guy with the coolest name or in one instance I would have voted for "Anybody but Rady" just because I liked the sign. Where would the logic be in that?

It's a tragedy that nothing Was even said about it. I am not writing this because I think we need a free day from school, it's the principle of the situation.

Tristan Nickey The Pride / Photographer Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer V * Do you hear the cries of the coyotes as you leave your last class of the night? Or do you see them in the morning as they scatter across Twin Oaks? These top predators that dominate the coastal sage shrub and the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed from their natural habitats due to fragmentation. The urban development rips free spaces from natural inhabitants like the coyote and other creatures. The recent real estate boom has put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like the coyote are driven closer to suburbia. Many domestic cats and dogs are found missing and yes it is possible that a coyote is responsible. But do you blame them? Not only are they affected by fragmentation but also so are many other animals like skunks, . squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like reptiles suffer, too. Governing predators like the coyote, who dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline in one species and the incline in another or vice-a-versa. Are humans so selfish that they have no regard for nature?
