T he C SUSM student arrested last month f or allegedly hacking into the
webcams and computers of
women around the world including Miss Teen U SA
- pleaded guilty to the
crimes in an Orange County, courtroom last week.
Jared James Abrahams , 19,
of Temecula, pleaded guilty
to three counts of extortion
and one count of unauthorized computer access in a
U.S. District Court in Santa
Ana on Nov. 12. He could
face up to 11 years in prison.
In a brief interview with The
Cougar Chronicle on Nov.
Dec 4,2013
i 8, an F BI official said Abrahams will remain on bond until h e f aces sentencing, which
is scheduled f or March 17.
Abrahams admitted t o gaining unauthorized access t o
multiple w omen's computers
and infecting their computers with malware. He hacked
their online accounts t o extort them into sending naked
photos and v ideo, threatening to post those photos online unless his victims agreed
t o a five-minute Skype session with him, according t o
a j oint statement by the F BI
and U.S. A ttorney's O ffice.
The suspect's victims allegedly included women
f rom all over the w orld, including Southern C alifornia,
C anada, Russia- and I reland.
According t o the F BI, these
victims included Miss Teen
USA Cassidy Wolf, formerly
of Temecula, and one minor.
While it has been widely
reported that Abrahams is
a computer science m ajor,
C SUSM university officials
confirmed last month that
h e is actually a second-year

B Y SARAH HUGHES
NEWS EDITOR
Here it is again - as students
are edging ever closer to finals, it is also time to sign up
for winter and ¡spring classes.
Students are painstakingly scurrying to pick the
right classes, despite approaching finals. For many
of us, crafting a schedule
is an added annoyance to
the combination of studying for finals and other important
responsibilities.
"I hate how they have
us signing up before finals, it is super stressful! I
am more excited for graduating than for next semester," CSUSM student,
Stephanie Borders, said.
Other students expressed
excitement for choosing
new classes, but were still
stressed by small selections.
" I'm very excited f or next
semester, school and signing up f or classes has always been very intense and
fast paced, but I always get
excited to see what classes will soon be available.
I wish there . were more
options!" CSUSM student Kristin Bebout said.
2013
underway
Most students are struggling to make their schedules
fulfill both general education and major requirements.
Many of them are also trying to make a schedule that
will give them adequate time
for the rest of their lives:
work, study time, friends,
family and sleep. But there
are a whole host of unusual sounding classes which
many may not know about.
The following are just a few
noticeable options that can
be found while searching the
class schedule. ENTR 320,
taught by Bennett Cherry, is
titled "Creativity, Innovation
and Entrepreneurship" and
meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at both 8 a.m. or 1 p.m.
A bit of an enigma, LTWR
107 is taught by " Staff' and
is simply titled "Humor."
It meets at 1 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other artistic pursuits include
MUSC 395 and VSAR 110.
Described as "Intro to
Sculpture," VSAR
110
meets on Fridays at noon
taught by David Avalos or
2 p.m. taught by "Staff."
Titled "Javanese Gamelan
Ensemble," MUSC 395
meets
Wednesdays
at
5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.
and is taught by "staff."
Some music classes feature
studio recording segments
and give students an opportunity to utilize the on-campus
recording studio. Recently a
student in passing said how
the recording studio is "really good and has great sound
equipment," as well as how
he was going to use it while
he was a student here. Visual and Performing Arts
classes also often give students access to a long list of
creative resources students
may not have at home. These
range from a black-box theatre and art gallery to studios and digital media labs.
A class near and dear to
The Cougar Chronicle's
heart, VPA 495 is called "Internship" and provides journalistic knowledge from an
academic advisor from The
Union Tribune. Students can
take it as VPA 495A which
counts for 1 unit, or VPA
495C which counts for 3
units. This allows students,
with busy schedules to have
more ease in fitting in the
course. It meets Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to
11:45 a m . and is open to all
interested in journalism, regardless of major. To get the

Though a lack of available
classes, finals and a long list
of requirements are frustrating, students may have
a chance to try something
different. T ry«to take advantage of credit difficulties
which sometimes make for
a less than desirable schedule and consider looking for
an elective to create a better
schedule. Under "Additional Search Criteria" one can
specify times and days they
would like to go to class with
a few simple mouse clicks.
On limits for course registration,
the
CSUSM
website says that "undergraduate students will be
allowed to register for up to
17 units and to waitlist for
no more than 10 units for
the Spring 2014 semester."
Sometimes, it is good to
have a bit of diversity built
into a. busy schedule, since
this helps build well-rounded
students. For those trying to

it may seem difficult to add
more classes for f un, but it
is definitely worth the time.

Recently, the Coaster's
leadership proposed banning booze among riders.
While that ban has been
withdrawn, drinking on the
•A9' 49
Amtrak trains have been restricted after 9 p.m. since
2009. The proposed and
couched ban is one move in
a long history of San Diego's
aversion to booze in its public spaces. Many riders, who
may be coming fronrwork or
school, like to unwind while
? riding with a beer or wine.
Some people have argued that since those riding the train are using
public transportation and
not driving, they are not
being reckless or technically driving intoxicated.
"The Coaster is one of the
region's few public-transit
serviqes that permit alcohol
consumption. Open alcohol
containers are banned on all
of San Diego County's trolleys and buses, as well as on
the Sprinter light rail that travels between Oceanside and
Escondido," Chris Nichols
of The Union Tribune said.
The Oceanside ban would
have taken effect Nov. 21
when the North County
Transit District's board of
directors had scheduled to
evaluate it, due to an increase
in complaints about obnoxious drunken passengers.

Coaster

last evening stop.

Walbourne.
The district spokeswoman,
Deborah Castillo, cites the
withdrawal as being because
of a recent backlash against
Jhe ban that has surfaced
since the it was proposed.
Previous bans began early
with Prohibition affecting the
nation from 1920 to 1933.
Beer, wine and liquor were
made illegal except f or medicinal uses by hospitals and
medical officials. It was mandated by thè 18 th Amendment {enacted in 1920),
which was made possible
by the Volstead Act (1919).
The 21st Amendment would
repeal the 18th in 1933.
In the 1970s, most CA
beach communities banned
alcohol on the shore. It took
San Diego until 2008 to do
this, shattering a link between
these luxurious beaches and
the image of a vacationer
with a cocktail. The ban had
been voted on after a series
of complaints about disruptive drinkers and solidified
with Labor Day riots on Pacific Beach that elicited riot
gear and pepper spray from
officers of the peace. This
furthered the resolve of ban
proponent Kevin Faulconer.
"Under no circumstances
is it ever OK to have that environment happening . . . We
have an obligation to protect
people at the beach, and what
happened on the beach was
not safe," Faulconer said.
In 2010, the booze ban
extended from beaches to
the bays themselves. Protests ensued into Mission
Bay, in an innertube-assisted 'floatopia' leading
up to the ban's enactment.
Self-checkout for alcohol was banned in 2011
and went into effect Jan. 1,
2012. It was part of an effort
to prevent sales to minors.
Temperance,
prohibition, beaches, bays and
grocery stores appear to be
the movements leading up
to the proposed booze ban
on the Coaster. There may
be little connection, other
than the land they occur on,
which is California public
space. For now, a total ban
has been put aside on certain transit c a r s , but riders
stffl can't drink before 9 p.m.

four women did outstanding," Scott said. "On the

much heart. They wanted
it so bad; they were willing
to run themselves to complete exhaustion to win that
conference championship."
A combined 20 male and
female cross country team
members will travel to Kansas f or the upcoming National meet. However, only
14 will actually compete.
"Anything can happen.
I think we have the mak-
ings of a team that can be
on the podium but everyone is going t o have to be
on that day," said Scott.
According to Scott, Nationals is a completely different atmosphere with 310
people on the line at the start
of the race . The whole race is
won or lorst in the first mile.
Over the next two weeks,
the team will focus on
maintaining their fitness
and staying relaxed in order to keep pressure at a
minimum. Beyond Nationals, the cross country teams
will have many of their top
runners returning next year.
If only one word could be
used to sum up the experience
of the San Diego Electric
Run 5K, it would be energy.
After the sun set, the
party got started down
at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Saturday, Nov. 9.
The lights and jams of the
San Diego Electric Run filled
the air. Over 5,000 people
packed the chute to start
the 5K. It looked more like
a dance club than a starting
line. Runners and walkers
waited in anticipation as the
DJ blasted some grooves.
Finally the countdown
came, and the first wave of
runners were off down the
course. It was lined with
lights, amps and enthusiastic volunteers. The course
wound its way through s ev-'
eral different themed areas
and eventually made its way
to the finish party, where
there were more lights, music, a stage and refreshments.

Speaking on behalf of the
student veteran community,
Kinesiology major and Navy

noted that without a veteran
friendly organization like the
one at CSUSM, we would

accomplishing our goals.
The Veterans Center does so
much to help the one out of 10

Giving thanks this holiday season
Professors should
follow their syllabus
Reflecting on what is most important to us
B Y ZACH SCHANZENBACH
B Y NOELLE FRIEDBERG
STAFF WRITER
Thanksgiving is just
around the corner, and now
is the perfect time to reflect
on'what we are thankful for.
I f or one am grateful f or
my education. Education
has molded and shaped-all
of us into the people we
are today. School is something that most students
take for granted because it
is so time-consuming and
requires so many hours of
hard work. Some also feel
the privilege of an education is a basic right, but in
reality we are extremely
lucky compared to others.
The United States is one of
the top ten most educated
countries in the world. We
should feel fortunate to call
this place our home.
I know it is easy to think
of school as a chore, but it
is also such a blessing. One
of the main reasons we are
who we are today is because
of the teachers who have
poured their knowledge into
our lives, all of the time we
spent learning to read and
write and because of all of
our crazy professors who
challenged us to think more
critically.
I think it is time that we
become more appreciative
of all of the years of schooling we have been privileged
to learn f rom. Without them,
who knows where or who
we would be and what kind
of worldview we would
hold. It was in school that
we made some of our closest
friends, learned how to multiply and were taught about
the founding of our country.
Your education is the only
reason you can even read
any of the words on this
page and the ability to read
is definitely something to be
thankful for.
So on Thanksgiving when
you are sitting around the
dinner table stuffing you|*
face with turkey and delicious pies, take a second to
think about all of your years
of education and how f ar
they have brought you.

It is disgusting that these

Professors provide students with
course outlines, but their habit of
regularly changing the schedule
leaves them feeling disorganized.
When professors hand you a syllabus,
i t's supposed to outline the course and
what to expect through the semester. It often includes grading policies , guidelines
and contact information f or the professor. Most professors will also lày out the
semester in a convenient and well-formatted schedule. Busy students will
make use of this and appreciate formal
layout as it will help them to keep track
of their work as thè semester continues.
What students may not have noticed was the little note on the bottom of the page that states that the
schedule subject to change at any
time. When the professor announces a
change in the schedule, students begin
to flip through their planners to rearrange their schedule and disregard the
old syllabus that no longer applies.
In all fairness, professors d on't usually plan on changing the schedule
just to make students mad. Sometime schedule changes are completely out of the professor's control. But
if a professor anticipates a change in
schedule throughout the semester, as
some do, then it may be best t o reevaluate creating a syllabus at all as the
back and forth may cause confusion.
Including a schedule in certain
courses, such a s math, is a good idea
as the formulas usually stay on task.
With a class that doesn't deal with
numerical concepts, including a continually disrupted schedule may
be hazardous to a student's grade.
If professors are going to change
a schedule, then it is advisable to
give students a revised copy in order
to
maintain
organization.

With so many shows
t o choose f rom these
d ays, it can b e difficult t o find the right o ne.
It truly is a commitment t o
sit down with a new show.
Luckily, Netflix created a
new, alluring series entitled
Orange is the New B lack.
Amongst other renowned
Netflix-produced series like
Arrested Development and
House of Cards, Orange
is the New Black does not
disappoint. It . premiered
in July of this year, with
all 13 episodes available
at once. The show already
m ade a huge buzz and has
a large, dedicated f an base.
T he series f ocuses on Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her thirties
with a seemingly perfect
l ife in. New York. She has
a supportive fiancé (played
by Jason Biggs) and a new
business venture that is
quickly taking o ff. This all
changes, however, when
P iper's past catches u p with
her and she goes~to prison
due t o a drug-related c rime.
T he series mainly f ocuses
on P iper's time in Litchfield
Penitentiary and the women
she meets there. With a misfit
c ast that includes an ex-lesbian lover, a super-religious
meth addict, a vindictive
Russian cook and m ore, the
show is entertaining and addictive. Orange is the N ew
Black
Black successfully draws the
viewer in with flashbacks,
intellectual dialogue and intricate storylines. Because of
its unique plot devices, the
series is able t o show what
this experience can d o t o a
person and how it changes
t hem. It f orces Piper t o f ace
the f ears that she could otherwise avoid on the outside.
Although Piper is not ^
necessarily a likeable lead
character, she certainly is
a relatable o ne. It is almost
r efreshing t o find a f emale
anti-hero in this golden
age of television. In f act,
you find yourself being
drawn t o each , cast character in o ne way o r another.
T he series has received
phenomenal reviews and a
second season will premiere
in early 2 014. Orange is the
N ew Black is a thoroughly
engrossing show and its second season i s one of t he m ost ~
anticipated series of 2 014. I

the most prestigious position a student can hold in the
23-campus system. He is the
first CSUSM student in history to be appointed to the
position.

eight individuals that were
interviewed by the California State Student Association Executive Board, which
included a panel interview

In late May, CSU Chancellor Charles Reed announced
plans to retire after heading
the nation's largest university system for 14 years.
Reed, 70, does not plan
to leave office until his replacement is hired, but has
expressed à desire to retire
pending the completion of
various projects under his
command, such as the oversight of new college presidents at seven of the 23 colleges in the system. Although
he hasn't given a specific
reason for retiring, he has admitted to frustration at more

Withlthe presidential election coming our way, there
has been much debate over
what Republicans and Democrats actually believe in.
Especially in today's political climate, it is a bit challenging to distinguish the
philosophies. College students are particularly affected by federal policies and the
stance of the Commanderin-Chief. Though there is a
significant difference in tone
between the Democratic and
JRepjjMiCan platforms, there
a rejpl d shared elements betw^abot h parties.
In the right corner we have
t f e ^ p u b l i c a n Party, which
is conservative. Republicans
favor a smaller government
and are for individual and
states' rights. Republicans
would also tend to favor
more defense spending. They
would rather have private
charities help those in need
rather than federal programs.
In the left corner stands the
Democratic Party, which is
more liberal in its political
views. Democrats believe in
a larger federal government
and attempt to implement
taxes to help the less privileged. Most of t}ie economic
theory comes f ro m the 20th
century philosopher Maynard Keynes. Keynes and
Democrats believe that government plays a role in regulating the business cycle.
The hot, drug war topic is
one in which both the Republicans and Democrats agree
on. Even though Democrats
are much more tolerant with
the use of recreational drugs,
both parties support with
great enthusiasm the War on
Drugs (WOD).
Generalizing about particular groups can be a dangerous game since there are
exceptions to the rule. However, this is where Republicans and Democrats stand
on certain topics. Whether
on the left or the right, voting is an important way for
one to voice their opinion, as
a college student and as an
American. Voting takes place
on Nov. 6 ,2012 .

when it comes to education.

a college degree can do for

motivated me to continue
growing as a leader, and I intend on continuing that.
Q: How do you hope to
represent all of the students
at 23 campuses?
A: I will be traveling every
month to a different CSU,
because as a student trustee
it is important thai students
voice their struggles so that I
can take it back to the BOT

and addressing the issues of

Q: What are your plans

A: Go to law school, and
use the law degree as a tool
for social change. I eventually want to get into the
political system and run for
office with a focus on issues
of education. California has
given me so much that I want

B Y JULIANA STUMPP
In April, CSUSM got a
new athletic director with a
familiar face. Jennifer Milo,
the former assistant athletic
director to Tom Seitez, was
promoted to the top job when
he retired last spring.
Milo has worked at
CSUSM for seven years,
starting out as the university's first Softball coach.
Before that, she spent three
years at San Diego State University as an athletic advisor, helping student athletes
maintain a balance between
school work and sports.
Milo graduated from the
University of San Diego,
where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees
in liberal arts and college
counseling, respectively, was
a student athlete and served
as assistant coach of the softball team.
She spoke recently about
her career, her immediate
goals and her plans for the
future.
Question: What types of
sports did you play when
you were younger?
Answer: I playeil soccer and was in competitive
swimming. I loved baseball,
I was the only girl on the
team until I turned 11 then
played softball all the way
through college.
Q: What past experiences do you have that has
prepared you to be athletic
director?
A: I worked my way up the
ladder. I started off as being
a student athlete to being a
coach and working in the of-
fice setting. All my past experiences have helped mold
me and realize how I would
run a department.
Q: How do you plan to
improve the correlation between the student body attending athletic events?
A: [It's] one of my biggest priorities. My plan is to
open our arms and let students know they are on our
team, too. Having students
attend games gives a sense
of pride and tradition. A lot
of changed to get students involved is important to me. I
feel students still don't know
we are here and we lack that
student voice. We can't Survive in a bubble down here
and we have to work with
ASI and SLL together.
Q: Have you always been
interested in a career in
college athletics?
A: Athletics and sports
have always been in my
blood. I have five siblings
and we have grown up
knowing not just the game
but what it takes like goal
setting, responsibilities and

reduce the risk of students
being hit by cars, UPD
officers are now issuing
jaywalking
tickets ranging from
$100 - $200.
The most common — and
most preventable — crime
on campus is theft from cars
in the parking lots, and the
No. 1 item reported stolen
from cars is textbooks. Officers recommend that students keep their textbooks
out .of sight, their car windows rolled up and doors

Q: You have been a part
of Cougar Athletics for
seven years, what changes
have you noticed in your
department?
A : There have been seven
teams have been added in
seven years. I first got here
with two staff members and
now there are 35. New facilities like the Softball and
baseball fields were built.
-There is now $500,000 in
scholarships. When athletics started in 1998 there was
only golf, cross-country and
track and field. After I joined
we had our first competitive
sport event, soccer, and 800
students came. It was great
to see students rally and its
something we want to continue to work on .
Q: Why did our campus
not get accepted to be in
the NCAA status? What
strategies do you have to
reinstate our standing?
A: Our NAIA (our governing body) position was put
on probation because of recurring violations that went
against the NAIA rule book.
It is not a matter if we get
in it's a matter of when we
get in. The NAIA is targeted
for smaller schools and with
our high demand of campus
growth we are ready to move
forward. It is a three year
transition.
Q: What contributions
do you expect to bring not
only as Athletic Director
but also to the campus?
A: I am a huge university
first advocate. I admire what
President Haynes does and
leading through the tough
budgets. The number one
priority is for our student
athletes to graduate. I want
to get in contact with the
Deans' and see how they
can help.
Q: Have there been previous female directors? If
not, how does it feel to be
¿he first at CSUSM?
A : Barbra Barshine helped
start the athletic department,
I ' m not sure if athletic director was a part of her title. I attribute my success to the Title 9 Law which was formed
in the 70's that passed to
help women get the same
teaching jobs that men have,
including sports. There are
only 4% of female Athletic
Directors in the country so
I ' m honored to be in that 4%
and hopefully increase it.

The CSUSM women's volleyball team is coming off a
stellar 2011 season, where
they saw a 29-8 record culminate with an A J J t conference title and a berth in the
NAIA national championships.
This 2012 team however,
is hungry f o r more and i sn' t
settling f o r anything less
than a national title.
This year' s team current-
ly sits at 13 - 5, with wins
against three nationallyranked opponents.
Coach Andrea Leonard
attributes the early success
with daily hard work and
the team's mutual belief in
the system and coaching,
along with a common trust
amongst the team.
CSUSM has reaped the
benefits of their hard work.
The team was recently voted the No. 10 in the NAIA
Coaches' Poll, a ranking that
eonard said feels "amazing."
"It comes at a perfect time
for us, because it reinforces
the hard work they have put

forth and they are seeing
the rewards of it," Leonard
said. "They aren't satisfied
with 10 and they're pretty
hungry for elite-elite level.
A national title is definitely
something we could, reach
and we're getting closer to it
day by day."
Leonard cites senior and
captain Nichole May as a
player to watch this year,
along with fellow seniors
Lindsey Sappington, Lindsey Mitchell and Brittany
Thompson, along with sophomore Taylor Degraaf, who
is ranked third in the country
in kills this season.
"We have incredible seniors' who are not not only
great volleyball players but
great people and team player
with big hearts" Leonard
said.
Leonard notes that some
big matches this coming season will be the games against
conference rivals La Sierra
on Sept. 26 at home, and No.
2-ranked Concordia on Oct.
9 in Irvine.
"[Concordia] is very good
this year, and it is a huge
game to watch, I anticipate
them to be in the finals again
this year," Leonard said.

STAFF W RITE R
With budgeting on all students' minds, the CSUSM
farmer's market on Wednesdays and Sundays provides
a healthy and moderately
priced option to stock up on
fresh foods.
Questions of healthy food,
budget and convenience run
through students' minds at
one point or another. If you
are looking for something
that is close to campus and
potentially cheaper than
Ralph's across the street,
check out the local farmer's
market.
Located in parking lot B
directly across from Mangrum Track and Field,
the market comes to campus from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays. Because of the farmers
market's popularity, the university added a second day in
mid-May, from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Sundays.
The farmers market offers
a fresh assortment of organic
fruits and vegetables, breads,
tamales and prepared meals.
The market also sells handcrafted jewelry, custom flipflops, plants and occasionally host special events, such
as Food Truck Wednesdays
(on the last Wednesday of the
month during normal market
hours).
The sellers are very friendly and are always looking for
ways to help. The stands are
set up in such a way that customers can browse through
all of the vendor booths
without missing any. The
set-up also makes it easy to
quickly stop by and pick up
a few items.
CSUSM's farmers . market Facebook page provides
inside tips, newly featured
items, weekly deals and upcoming events.

example, among the many
themes are the international

games and a co-ed floor.
UVA also offers students
the choice to live in a co-ed

The expansion of the campus means that students who

College students waste a
lot of money on things they
do not need. Dorm room
sheets should not be one of
them.
For those of us living in
The QUAD or The UVA,
finding inexpensive appliances and materials are a
must. Unfortunately, not all
businesses that market to
the college student demographic have our best interest in mind. Residence Hall
Linens advertises themselves
as a company that promises
quality, guaranteed satisfaction, and a stress-free ordering process for $170. While
these guarantees entice the
consumer into believing that
the company's products are
both affordable and a musthave addition to our dorm
rooms, the truth is not discovered until the package arrives in the mail.
The so-called "quality"
bedroom and bathroom items
turn out to be flimsy, tissuelike materials that may last
little past the first year of
use, despite the advertised
four-year durability guarantee. The bathroom towels are
too low-quality to be used
for their intended purpose,
the bedding so thin that it is
not suitable for any season
besides summer, and the bed
comforter could be mistaken
for one of the sheets.
The only guarantee that
turned out to be true was
the ease in which the products could be ordered, but
trying to return undesired
items is yet another issue for
the disappointed customer.
Reimbursement can take up
to three weeks and the cost
of shipping materials back
is astronomical. While the
company covers the initial
shipping, customers have to
pay $50 to send the package
back.
Residence Hall Linens officials acknowledge how
much money customers have
to waste in order to send
packages back to them, but
they have done nothing to
solve the problem. Instead,
they have blamed the high
prices on UPS and other mail
carriers that charge customers these high fees rather
than taking responsibility for
their unsatisfactory products.
When I spoke with a representative from Residence
Hall Linens over the phone,
he argued that the company
should not be held accountable for people disliking the
products they sell. "Companies like Kohl's don't reimburse you the money you
spent on gas to drive to their
store when you return their
products," he said. "If we
had to pay the shipping for
every person who returned
our products, we would go
out of business."
Despite their claims that
their products are superior to
others in price and durability,
Kohl's offers not only lower
prices on all of their bedding
and bathroom materials than
Residence Hall Linens, but
better quality.
In my experience ordering
from both companies, I spent
$50 less on Kohl's products
and was able to buy almost
twice as many bedroom and
bathroom items than I got in
the package from Residence
Hall Linens.
The next time that you
contemplate ordering from
a catalogue or are promised
a deal that sounds too good
to be true, do some research
before opening your wallet.
You may be surprised at the
realities of the company you
are ordering from.
When contacted for interview, Residence Hall Linens'
president declined the opportunity to comment.

Welcome back, Cougars!
It would seem we have survived another summer of

options. Take a sigh of relief
and get back into gear because school has started and
your future awaits. To date, 7
percent of the U.S. population is enrolled in post-secondary education, joining the
ranks of the roughly 30 percent who already hold their
bachelor's degree or higher.
This information is not to
be taken lightly. We are the
lucky few.
College is an important
chapter in your life. It's time
that truly defines you. A
shout-out here belongs to fellow student Cipriano Vargas,
who has met everyone and is
involved in everything. Cipriano is going to be president
one day.
Sadly, or thankfully
however you want to phrase
it —- the CSUSM commu-
nity faced a public expulsion
last year. I won't embarrass
that student further, save
to serve as a reminder that
some will be left behind.
So let's make the most of
our college years. You're
only lucky with four or more.
If I've learned anything
from TV, it's that being in
college grants you license to
act like a rock star. For the
love of whoever, just find
the right balance between
schoolwork and social life.
My mama told me to take
my time. Don't overload on
classes. Work hard and get
paid. Making the Dean's List
is an amazing reward.
Not to put pressure on any
activity intended to combat
stress and boredom, "Old

show "Greek" took high

rebellion. "Greek" took high
school Olympiad projects
and English literature to the
college level. Don't put this
kind of pressure on an activity intended to relieve stress
and boredom because the
best rebellious activities are
also intelligent.
Need an invite? Don't
waste the opportunity to
make new friends. Every
club, sport and fraternity are
fair game and all will welcome you. Most of the professors at CSUSM genuinely
care about you and want to
know your name and your
character. Go to office hours,
stay after class, talk to them.
Ask about the material, their
life experience, etc.
In a shameless plea for
participation, I would like
to point out that the Opinions section of The Cougar

contributions as a forum for
topic discussion. Please submit to Letters to the Editor.
Is anti-colonialism in o u r future?
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
C O - A & E EDITOR
Is "2016: Obama's America" in support of him or
against him?
Writer and director Dine&h
D'Souza, an Indian American political commentator,
compares himself to U.S.
President Barack Obama. Because they had many things
in common, I presumed this
was not just going to be a
" my-word-against-yours "
bashing sort of film.
D'Souza went to several
countries that were featured
in Obama's autobiography,
"Dreams From My Father,"
which was also quoted
throughout the movie. He
interviewed many people
who knew President Obama
firsthand, as well as experts
from a variety of fields.
You may know that President Obama's father, Barack
Sr., was born and raised in
Kenya, though he moved
to Hawaii where he met his
wife Ann.
In the film, D'Souza explained something that I had
never known before, President Obama's father, who
was a very influential figure
in his life, brought "anti-colonialism" with him.
I thought to myself, "what
the heck is anti-colonialism?" I had never heard of
this before. So I did a little bit of research and came
to find that it means to be

nation within a dependent

Our country, which began
with colonialism, is one of
the greatest nations in the
world. With this being said I
can only wonder why a president of the United States,
would aspire to fulfill his
father's views in an already
established, modern and progressive country?
The movie is very thoughtprovoking. This movie included aspects of world and
American history and introduced new and different
views. So please, don't just
take my word for it, go out
and see this movie for yourself.

Arts, Lecture series returns with new ticket price plan
B Y JESSIE GAMBRELL
C o - A & E EDITOR
The popular Arts & Lectures series returns this fall
with a new ticketing process
that requires advance reservation for all shows, and
tickets for CSUSM faculty,
staff and the public are no
longer free.
Thanks to the series
,CSUSM's halls have been
graced with world-renowned
musicians, internationally
acclaimed dancers, famous
poets, directors and authors.
Over the summer the Arts &
Lectures planning committee decided that something
needed to be done in order
to ensure that the students
who were required to attend
the on-campus events could,
in fact, get in. In previous
years, there were many instances where faculty, staff,
community members and
even students were turned
away due to a lack of seating.
"Tickets are a new thing,
before we couldn't really
plan ahead. By doing this
(having mandatory tickets) we are streamlining the
process. And yes it is going
to be a permanent thing, for
every event you are required
to have a ticket," said Mari-
lyn Huerta, of the Events and
Conference Services.
The series has been growing in popularity and the
committee has had to deal
with the growing attendance.
"Even if requesting tickets
online is a little more complicated than just showing
up for a talk, I think it shows
how far we have come as a
university. I celebrate what
the change signals about the
richness of life on our campus," Professor Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwail said.
"We've had questions
about how to do it since you
must get it online. Right
now, tickets are open for students only. Students, faculty,
and staff must bring their
CSUSM ID to be admitted
into the event," Huerta said.
For CSUSM faculty and
appreciate each other's differences and create a special
bond.

as Madonna, Taylor Swift,
Kathy Lee Gifford, Suze Orman and politician Michele
Bachmann.
Over the summer, funnyman Andy Samberg also announced he'd leave the show.
Samberg boosted the series'
online presence with "Digital Shorts," a series of comic
videos he co-created with his
college friends Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.
Popular shorts include " I' m

Often the weekly guest hosts
would be featured in the videos. Popular celebrity cameos included Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Jonah Hill,
T-Pain, Jon Hamm and other
SNL cast members.
Four-year castmate Abby
Elliot also left the show. Her
impersonations
included
Khloe Kardashian-Odum,
Angelina Jolie, Zooey Deschanel, Ke$ha and many
more.
With two legendary cast
members leaving thè show,
it's not clear who will rein
next as SNL's funny girl
and who will give the show
a different comedic vibe.
However, other fan favorites
like Bill Hader, Seth Meyers,
and new featured cast members Taran Killam and Jay
Pharoah, will remain on the
late-night show.
The season premieres at
11:30 p jn . Saturday September 15. Seth Macfarlane,

For the e ntire month of February, The Pride will
f eature articles ^pertaining to the acknowledgement
of Black History Month in relation t o 2 the campus
community.
This w eek's issue highlights the strides made by
h istorical black f igures in bringing awareness to
r acial equality and laid the foundation for the country t o elect its f irst black president, Barack Obama.
February, also known as Black History Month,
seems extra special this year. Electing Barack Obama
as the f irst black president is, for this generation, as
important and unforgettable as the long list of events
and people in black history.
Year a fter year, black people continue making
strides towards a progressive f uture. Nonetheless,
there are several individuals who are precursors to
the history made January 20th. President Obama
j oins the r anks of these individuals that continue to
inspire the cultural experience of a changing world.
The premise of Black History Month originated in
1916, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Rev. Jesse
E. Moorland, co-founders of the Association for
the Study of Negro Life and History, published The
Journal of Negro History. The j ournal was a compilation of research the two men conducted to help
create awareness of the impact black people played
in America. Woodson also published the j ournal in
hopes that it would instill pride among the black
community.
Woodson, himself, was the son of a former slave
and the second black person to graduate f rom Harvard University. Woodson advocated for the f raternity Omega Psi Phi to create Negro History and Lit-

If anyone is like me in
any way, then chances
are that we don't like
some of the same things.
For example, I can't stand
it when I'm trying to eat
some colonel at a certain
fried chicken franchise
with friends, all the while, little
baby loud mouth is screaming his/
her head off and throwing his/her
cheaply made plastic toy he/she got
with his/her meal.. .at me! We've
all been in that situation before,
and if you haven't, feel sorry for
me and send me a basket offruitto
console my terrible fast food experiences. Now, why am I discussing a topic that might have nothing
to do with sex? Well, keep reading
and I'll tell you! (Jeez, chill out.)
Ironically enough, this situation paints a, somewhat, accurate
description to what some may have
gone through during sex. First,
everything is great: you're enjoying
yourself and taking part in something that you personally enjoy.
Then, all it takes is one fateful
action to turn what was once a delicious grilled cheese sandwich into
a damp square of cold mush. (Yes,
a sandwich filled with cheese...
and sex!) So, what is it that causes
t hese s udden outbursts of moment
destroyers? Is it involuntary? Have
you just always wanted to try it? Or
are you just misreading your partner?
Let's be serious for
a bit, sex is a serious
and beautiful thing.
It is a union that is
shared with you and
your partner, and
hopefully, it is something that you do out
of love. That being
said, there is nothing at all wrong
with enjoying the experience of
sharing an intimate moment with
your significant other and tailoring to suit your (and your partner's) needs. The only downfall is
that you have to know what your
partner likes before you try it. For
example, "talking dirty" is quite
the popular way to spice up one's
sex life. But sometimes, you'll find
some people out there that don't
much care for it, personally, I think
it's a little cliché, and preferably,
only best suited for Steve Carell's
portrayal of a 40-year old virgin.
But there are many ways that one
can help to give his/her partner
"what they like" and receive it in
return as well. Whether it be something as adventurous as different
positions, to something as simple
as the way your partner dresses or
expresses themselves.
That being said, let's get to know
some of our fellow cougar's interests when it comes to sex and relationships. Anonymously, of course.
To get a broad sense of what some
look for in a partner, I asked variety of people with differing gender
identifications and sexual orientations.
Name one turn on and one turn
off when it comes torelationships:
Male, 21, heterosexual: "I love
confident girls who are comfortable with themselves and who they
are. And I'm definitely not into
girls that worry about what they
eat."
Female, 19, heterosexual: "Plain
jealousy is just horrible. I like the
"little things," like just calling just,
because and visiting me at work. It
lets me know that they care."
Male, 22, homosexual: "I like
someone who can hold a good conversation and is open to trying new
things. And I don't like someone
who has no "drive" or life goals.
They would rather stay home all
the time then go out every once in
awhile."
Name one turn on and one turn
off when it comes to sex (if sexually active):
Male, 21, heterosexual: "I definitely love girls in heels, because it
accentuates their legs and their buttocks. I really don't like girls that
are into weird stuff, like role-playing as sexy ninjas or astronauts.
Female, 19, heterosexual: "I hate
when they only think about pleasing themselves, I'm like, "Hey!
What happened to my needs!?" I
like constant touching, like cud-
dling or just
holding each
other. The
love just keeps
coming.
Male,
22,
homosexual:
like when the other
gets really "into it" by not holding
back their moans and is somewhat
aggressive but not overt. I don't
like if the other person does not
reciprocate or "give back" during
sex and is unadventurous when it
comes to new sexual positions or
techniques."
Obviously, these are all individual
preferences and are all respected.
While anonymous, I applaud this
diverse group of people for sharing their experiences with such a
sensitive topic. But just remember,
whatever you and your sexual partner may enjoy doing, make sure
you do it (pun intended) safely and
mutually. And never let anyone get
you down about what you enjoy
doing and talking about, everyone
is different and each have their own
preferences. Just remember to keep
communication with your partner
open and free of discomfort. So
if your significant other decides
to utilize the dreaded whips and
chains in your next encounter, talk
to them. You are just not into that
kind of thing*right?So make sure
you tell them that, for the sake of
your bum.

RecycleMania 2 009
Campus wide event garners strength
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM is positively influencing the community and the
environment by participating
in Recyclemania. Recyclemania is a nation wide competition between over 500 colleges
and universities for the national
Recycling and Waste diversion
title. CSUSM proudly continues
to hold the title it first obtained
in 2005.
"We got a random e-mail
asking if we wanted to join.
We didn't know what it was but
thought, 'what the heck, let's
give it a t ry!'" said Carl Hanson,
Department Manager of Custodial Services at CSUSM. "At
that point, there were only 43
colleges and universities competing. We won it hands down
from start to finish. It astounded
us."
Recyclemania began in 2001
as a small competition between
two Ohio colleges. It contin-
ued to spread and gain popularity. This year, Recyclemania
includes about 510 colleges and
universities.
Hanson urges everyone to
keep on recycling. Contributions may include plastic bottles
number 1-7, cans, glass bottles
and jars, cardboard, paper, and
pre and post consumer food.
The competition runs from
January 18 through March 28.
Recyclemania consists of
different subcategories: gross
weight, per capita, and recycle
percentage of total refuse.
Hanson
believes
that
CSUSM's secret success is due
in part to the already established social climate in regards
to recycling, adding that, "we
didn't have to create something
new or try to change attitudes."
Carl also offers credit to the

and experience the legislative process firsthand,
among other things. The
program places each
intern with members of
Congress who represent
California.
The application process has several requirements. Students interested in applying must be
a junior or senior with a
3.00 GPA or above. Other
requirements include a
letter of application, a
school transcript, and at
least two letters of recPhoto courtesy Jenny McDonald ommendation from fac-
ulty. After students apply, there
is an interview process where
CSUSM's committee headed
by Erika Kirst, Coordinator of
Greek Life and Leadership Programs, interviews applicants to
select one student to represent
the campus in Washington.
There are many benefits from
this program.
"It is an honor to be part of
it because it is unique, only
one student is selected from
each campus," said Kirst.
Another great benefit is that the
program pays for the interns'
expenses such as housing and air
travel. Interns also receive stipends to cover other expenses.
"I encourage students to take
advantage of this opportunity,"
Kirst added.
Among other benefits, interns
can earn up to 20 units during
the semester.
Last semester, junior Jennifer McDonald was the student
representative for CSUSM.
McDonald emphasizes that student applicants do not necessarily have to be a specific major.

"It is something really beneficial for anyone who wants to
work in government, policy, or
the media. It is a one of kind
opportunity," McDonald said.
The Congressional Internship
Program is an excellent opportunity to build connections in
Washington, D.C.
McDonald's
internship
included many unique experiences such as going to the
White House and Congressional hearings.
"I got to meet people who
write our laws, who have
been influential for the past
30 # years," said McDonald.
One of McDonald's most mem-
orable moments was when,
President Bush's Chief of Staff,
Joshua Bolten, talked to other
interns and her for almost an
hour and took questions from
them. Another highlight of her
experience was to be in Washington, D.C. when historical
events such as the 2008 election and the financial bailout
occurred.

along with fen CSUSM students
travel to Cleveland, Ohio to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity.
They will work on the deconstruction of older properties to make
way for new ones, and refurbish
older houses for new occupants to
move into.
"It's a whole other level of volunteering," says Jamie Inarda, a
CSUSM senior who went on the
trip to New Orleans last year. "It's
a great way to have fun, make
friends, and do something good for
a community in need."
Another CSUSM student, Kyle

"You get a lot more out of it
than you would out of a traditional
spring break. It's a fun experience
and gives you a sense of accomplishment as well," Gregory said.
While the
program
seems more
work oriented than a
usual vacation, they
make time

as well. This
year, in addition to volunteering,
the group
will take time to visit the Rock

Cleveland Cavaliers game.
Typically, there are only ten
spots available for students to go,
and the sign up time is during the

to sign up for this year's alternative spring break, returning students can still sign up for next year
during fall of2009.

He's Just Not That Into You

Girls, how many times have people told
you that you are wasting your time with
the guy you always have to call or the

He's Disappeared On You," Behrendt promotes a bit of tough love to readers while
Tuccillo acts as the voice of understanding,
often relaying the "easier said than done"
mentality most women may encounter
while reading. Though Tuccillo experienced many of the scenarios presented in
the book, she ultimately sides with Behrendt's verdict on the matter, citing her
failed success rate as proof.
At the end of each chapter, Behrendt
backs up his advice with statistics. In the
chapter entitled "He's Just Not That Into
You If He's Not Dating You," Behrendt
discredits the excuse that men are afraid
of intimacy stating, "100% of guys polled
said 'a fear of intimacy' has never stopped

them from getting into a relationship."
One guy quoted even said, "That's just
what we say to girls when we're just not
that into them "
J?
Though the book may come off a bit
harsh, it has the best intentions. It offers
women the opportunity to have control
over their dating life by setting themselves
to a new standard. By adopting the principle, "he's just not that into you," women
can spare themselves the tears and heartache and take comfort in knowing how
to identify the right guy when he comes
along.
The book motivates women to consider
themselves the rule and not the exception
when dating. We've all heard the story
about the girl who pursued the guy and
they ended up living happily ever after or
the one where the guy treated the girl he
was sleeping with awful for a few years
and then one day he realized he loved her.
"HJNTIY" commands women to erase
these stories from their memory reminding women that they are exceptional but
not the exception.
Any
woman out
linflge
there stands to benefit
from reading the book. Whether
you are single, in a relationship, or even
married, pick it up and give it a shot. The
150 plus pages are an easy read and even
if you yourself are blissfully content with
your love life, chances are you hiave a
friend out there who could benefit from
these words of wisdom.

How many vaginas have you
met? The answer will differ
from man to woman, young to
the old, right? Did these vaginas
talk to you? What did they say?
Eve Ensler would agree that
vaginas do indeed talk and they
have a lot to say.
Well who the hell is Eve
Ensler?
Her vagina would say that
she is many things: a playwright, a feminist, an anti-violence activist, and a vagina
advocate. Ensler began writing
monologues based on the interviews of nearly 200 women
about various topics such as
sex, orgasms, and female mutilation centered on what Oprah
Winfrey calls the "Va-jay jay."
The Vagina Monologues
were first shown off-Broadway
in 1996 but since its debut,
it gained popularity, gaining
vagina-friendly fans across
the nation. Oh, and yes there
are some international vagina
advocate proponents as well.
After seeing one performance
the vagina will no longer be
taboo. For Ensler, the vagina
is something to be celebrated,
cherished, and adored; it should
be free from violence and injus-
cream in the actual ingredients.
A milk chocolate brown radiates
from the glass. Wafts of chocolate bliss fill the surrounding air.
The liquid enters the mouth and
gingerly scrubs the tongue and
taste buds. Small sips turn into
large gulps, eventually resulting in an empty Yoo-hoo glass
bottle.
After purchasing all of
those pricey textbooks,
stroll to the nearest gas
station and grab a delicious glass bottle of Yoohoo. Salute!

tices. Every vagina has a story to
be told and the stories behind these
entertaining, tearful, hilarious, and
educational monologues tell all
females where her empowerment
lies—in between her legs.
Ensler's coochie-snorcher discourse has been performed at many
campus universities. ASI Women's

In tough economic times, Hollywood can count on
this weekend for
a big haul. This
week's line-up features several big
name films that
will compete for the
top box office spot. All
the films have potential
to be very good and bad.
It is just a matter of how
far they are willing to go
on that spectrum.

They have titled their
latest abomination
"Dance Flick."
This
genre
of lame parodies spawned by
"Scary Movie" and
continued by the Wayne's Brothers and others such as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer needs to
go away. It makes me sick to see
these

films referencing and exploiting other movies.
I will not subject

to do the same.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers
and the Celtics at home and have
proven themselves superior to
these giant teams in head-to
head matchups. The Lakers beat
the Cavaliers despite Kobe dislocating his finger. They play
well despite a string of injuries, and continue to improve
their skills (although they need
a stronger defense with reliable
defensive/offensive rebounding). The Celtic romping of the
Lakers in last year's championship series left an indelible
sting on Laker morale. Despite
last year's loss and obsessive
cheers of "Beat LA," the Lakers
have assembled an all-star cast
of players. Let us rejoice in the
fact that our local Lakers team

from Neil Gaiman's best selling

On that following Monday, I rush

Every time I come back, the

milk is still there. Maybe Santa

Latina Dance Project
BY CONSUELO MARTINEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Students will have the
opportunity to participate and
learn about the hybrid work
of the Latina Dance Project.
The Latina Dance Project is
a group of four women who
bring their unique cultural and
social perspectives of Latina
life in the United States. The
3-day residency of the piece
""Coyolxauhqui Remembers,"
will take place at Cal State San
Marcos with their f irst event a
lecture/demonstration on February 4, 7 p.m. in ARTS 111.
"Coyolxauhqui Remembers," a
modern tale of Coyolxauhqui,
the Aztec moon goddess,
"is retold through four stories of victimization, feminization, objectification/dismemberment which are brought
together in the myth of the
moon goddess," according to
the program description.
The f irst event at CSUSM
will be a performance and
lecture where attendees will
get a preview of the f ull performance to take place at
MiraCosta College on February 6. Marilyn Huerta, the
Arts and Lectures Coordinator at CSUSM, says the event
at CSUSM is f ree to students
and the community and all are
welcome to attend. Dr. Arcela
Nunez-Alvarez of the National
Latino Research Center says,
"It is important to support cultural events like the Latina
Dance Project because they
reinforce the need to recognize our cultural traditions
and also remind us how culture is constantly changing.
Hosting the project in North
County will provide an opportunity to share culture and can
serve as a vehicle to bring us
together."

INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS
w ww.thecsusmpride.com
BY JACKIE CARBAJAL
Editor-in-Chief
Almost one month has passed
since anyone last saw Escondido
teen, Amber Dubois, but her face
is a constant fixture throughout
North County as search efforts to
find her are still going strong. This
past weekend, volunteer searches
continued at the search and rescue
headquarters located in an abandoned Escondido warehouse
donated to the Dubois by a concerned citizen.
"We had a 7,500 square foot
building donated to us. We're
doing all of our work out of here,"
Amber's father, Maurine Dubois
said in an NBC San Diego report
on Saturday. "We have a separate
mapping room where things are
coordinated. It's much easier than
trying to work out of a small trailer
in a parking lot."
The command center is located
at 755 N. Quince Street in Escondido, CA and remains open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday until
Amber's return.
Hundreds of volunteers assisted
over the weekend in the second
large-scale search effort conducted
since Amber's disappearance.
The fourteen-year-old Escondido High School student was
walking to school on Friday, February 13,2009 on North Broadway
in Escondido. Two family friends
reported seeing Amber a mere 300
yards from the school's gate at 7:10
a.m. Amber was carrying a handful of Valentine's Day gifts to give
to her friends. Hours lajter, school
officials called Amber's family to
report that she had not shown up
for her classes.
"I will have continuous, 100percent hope until you completely
prove it to me, there's a reason not
to," Maurice Dubois said during a
press conference. "I will never give
up hope. Amber, if you're out there,
you can guarantee I will never stop
until we have found you and you're
back home with us."
On Feb. 28, Amber's story
appeared on the popular American
crime stoppers show, "America's
MostWanted."
The Escondido Police Department reported that exposure on the
show helped generate tips.
The Klass Kids Foundation is
now involved in the search effort

as well. Marc Klass, the program
founder, is the father of Polly
Klass, who was kidnapped from
her home during a slumber party
and murdered in 1993.
"The family has to keep the hope
alive. They have to be the ones that
are going to inspire others to go
out and look for their child. If the
family gives up, everybody gives
up," Klass said, NBC reported.
The Dubois family recently
increased their reward offering to
$60,000, with $50,000 for information leading to their daughter's
safe return and $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the
person or persons responsible for
her disappearance.
Anonymous individuals and
businesses donated the reward
money to the family.
"[The family] wants to get Amber
home alive, therefore the majority
of money has been allocated to that
end," Klass told reporters at a news
conference outside Escondido High
School on March 4, according to the
SanDiegoUnionTribune. "Butthey
also understand that there might be
darker scenarios and that that might
not be possible."
Both Klass and Brenda van Dam,
whose daughter Danielle van Dam
was kidnapped and murdered seven
years ago, are said to be helping the
Dubois family with search efforts.
"I know this community has
come together once before to help
our family find closure," said
Brenda van Dam, reported by the
North County Times. "I'm asking
that you please do it again for this
family."
Though police say there is no evidence to suggest Amber was kidnapped, her parents and family attest
that Amber was not the type to go
anywhere without contacting them,
telling the North County Times that
for her to run away would be "completely out of character."
In fact, Amber was looking forward to bringing home a lamb
she planned to raise as part of her
school's Future Famer's Association
project on the day she disappeared.
"She would not have given up
that lamb for anything," Amber's
mother, Carrie McGonigle said,
according to CNN. "She's a wholesome kid. She doesn't run amok
like most teenagers. She did not
run away, I guarantee it."
In addition to police efforts, the
family hired private investigator,
Bill Garcia.
According to Garcia and Escondido police, Amber's phone was
last on for a few seconds on Feb.
14,2009 when someone turned the
phone on in an attempt to access
the voicemail and then shut off the
phone. The phone was not on long
enough for police to determine its
location. Amber sent her grandmother several text messages and
one to a friend before she left for
school the morning of her disappearance.
Police and search efforts so far
yielded little leads.
On Feb. 20, Amber's family
held a candlelight vigil in front
of Escondido High. The North
County Times reported approximately 200 people attended the
vigil wearing t-shirts with Amber's
name and picture on them.
At the vigil, Taylor Doyle, a lifelong Mend of Amber's, told the
North County Times, "Amber's not
the type to not go to school."
Another friend of Amber's in
attendance at the vigil was Hailey
Kosinski. Kosinski described her
friend to CNN as someone who
is "sort of shy when youfirstmeet
her, but once you get to now her,
she's the kindest person you'll ever
meet."
"It's the most horrible, gutwrenching feeling to know your
friend is out there and there's nothing you can do tf help her," Kosinski said. "You feel so powerless."
The family has put together a
website, wwwlbringamberhome.
com, that features up-to-date information related to the case, hotline/
contact information, and downloadable search flyers.
On the website, the family also
thanks those involved in the rescue
effort.
"We cannot express enough our
heartfelt gratitude to every individual, church, religious organizations, and searchers holding a
good thought and keeping Amber
and her safe return to her family in
their prayers."
"Thank you for helping to break
through the darkness by being one
of the lights that will bring our
Amber home."
"We cannot bear the thought of
life without her."

gist).
If you
see
me on
c ampus,
ask me, it's quite the
tale.
So let's just say
that you do decide
to go through with
a
schmorgasbord
of food and sex, at least make
it romantic as opposed to a pig
out session. Just remember to
keep in mind that the food does
not come first and it shouldn't
be the main driving factor to
involve food in your sexual
experiences.
Although it does sound amazing to eat bacon and donuts off
your lover (yes, you know I'm
talking to you, you manly Soviet
man), make sure that that's not
the only reason as to why you're
doing that. Because chances
are, if that's all you want out of
this experience, you're probably
going to get punched in the face
and I'm sure that situation can
be easily recreated with a big
packet of bacon, box of donuts,
and a lonely night with a porn
tape (or DVD.. .maybe Blu-Ray,
depending on how realistic you
wish it were). Remember that
sex is still a bond between you
and your partner, not a bond
between you and a 12oz sirloin.
If you do involve food in
some way, make it special and
use food that is sensual. Use
fruit or anything sweet, like
chocolate, please remember
how your body reacts to certain substances/foods. Keep
in mind that couples should
be careful to not introduce any
sugary foods into the vagina
because this could potentially
cause yeast infections, for
example.
If you do decide to pull off
a daring sexual experience,
remember that your partner
comes first (pun intended,
again). So whether it be eating
cereal out of the dimples of your
partner's ass or playing with
some Fruit Roll Up, remember
that it's for passion. Bon(er)
appétit (sorry, immature, I
know)!
THE PRIDE
The pursuit of a good pair of headphones
BY BILLRHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Anyone who has seen
me walking around
campus will recognize
the fact that I constantly
have some type of headphones attached to my
ears. I cannot j ustify
this behavior other than
to point out that I truly enjoy the
music or podcasts on my iPod.
What I can say is that I have gone
through many pairs of headphones and know a thing or two
about finding a good pair.
I have no bias between ear buds
or headphones for I had many
good sets of both. One could buy
a high-end headset and certainly
be satisfied. But I do not know
many college students who have
room for Bose headphones in
their budget. The pairs I recommend offer great sound quality
and comfort and will not break
the bank.
First of all, if you are listening
to your iPod, the buds it came
with are decent. They are comfortable and offer good quality.
The problem is they are more
fragile than most ear buds. I have
broken several headphones and
many of them were iPod buds.
Thus I will point out several that
are also durable. But the iPod
buds are a good starting point
As an aside, I would quickly
point out that if you have an mp3
player, I would be in shock if it
were not an iPod. Though iPods
are a bit more expensive, you get
your money's worth due to the
fact they are easy to use, have
the best software, iTunes, and are
backed by Apple's service.
A step up from the iPod buds
are the cheap Sony ones that
can be found everywhere
from Long's to Best Buy.
I cannot find what they
are called, but they are
under $10 and are the
blue or red buds that
clip on to the ear.
They may look
cheap, I was even
h esit ant
a bout
buying them, but
they are very comfortable and offer
great sound. The
only time I broke
a pair was when I
stepped on them.
At $10, they are not
a major investment
and will last.
If you prefer headphones, look no further than the Phillips SHS390.
These behind-the-head headphones offer comfort and quality.
They run between $10 and $15 at
most stores and come in either
black or white.
These
will
last
long time as long as
you do not sit on them or yank on
the cord. When it comes to headphones, I like these ones, which
only have one cord coming up to
the ear, rather than the type that
branch into two.
Lastly, if you want DJ, overthe-ear type, get the Jensen
JHF-310 DJ Headphones, if you
can find them. They are the best
headphones I have ever had, but
the makers discontinued t hem/
They can be found for about $20
to $35 online from time to time.
They fold up and have great quality and are super durable.
If those cannot be found, try
Sony MDR-V150 DJ Headphones,
which have the same sound quality, but lack the features of the
Jensen pair and have a really long
cord.
To find a good pair
of headphones,
be sure they are
solid and protected near the
ends of the
cord to avoid
breakage. Try
some that look
c omfortable,
but be sure to
keep the receipt
and do not be
afraid to return them.

C ar accidents
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Senior Staff Writer
No one ever wants to get into an accident, so what should you do if you find
yourself in one? Here are some helpful
tips for being prepared in an accident.
Staying prepared:
It is California law for drivers to
always carry Proof of Insurance or Proof
of Financial Responsibility, for most
that means having your insurance card
on hand. Make sure to have your insurance agent's contact information as well
as a copy of your insurance policy. In car
accidents it is important to understand
what your auto insurance policy covers,
so you'll know exactly how you are protected. Are you covered if an uninsured
driver hits you? What are your insurance
limits? These are questions you want to
know the answers to before an accident
occurs.
Another way to stay prepared is to have
a car safety kit stored in your car. This
safety kit most likely comes with cones
for directing traffic, a flashlight, and pen
and paper for making notes and exchanging information. It is also wise to have
a camera on hand to photograph any
damage, street signs, and license plates of
any other cars involved.
Keeping emergency telephone numbers, as well as a note of any medical
allergies you may have in the case of
medical assistance is another important
precaution.
When an accident occurs:
If you are in an accident you are
required by law to stop, whether the accident involved a pedestrian, a parked car,
or even property. According to the 2007
State Bar of California, if you do not stop,
you can be charged with a hit-and-run
even if the accident was not your fault.
"The number one thing to do is to
check for any injuries, with yourself, the
other driver, and as well as the car," says
CSUSM's Chief of Police, Ronald Hackenberg. "The first call that needs to be
made is to 911."
If there are any suspected injuries for
T HE PRIDE
How to d eal
either party, notify medical authorities
right away.
"You have to be very aware and alert of
other vehicles coming from behind you,
especially on the highway," says Hackenberg.
If the accident does occur on the highway, Hackenberg suggests moving your
car to a safer location if possible or stand
behind a guardrail for protection until
help arrives. Put out cones to help other
drivers be more aware that an accident
has occurred.
Exchange information with the other
party such as names, phone numbers, and
insurance company information. Take
note of the license plate number, make,
model and year of the other driver's car,
and his/her driver's license number.
Record the time, date and location
of the accident, note street signs, the
weather and exactly how the accident
occurred, and try, if possible, to get witnesses' names and phone numbers as they
may come in handy in trying to piece how
the accident occurred.
When police arrive, note the officer's
badge number and do not admit fault
anything you say could be recorded and
later be used against you, so before taking
the blame consult with your insurer or a
lawyer.
If an accident concerns a parked car
or property damage, you must make an
effort to locate the owner. If you cannot
the law states that you can drive away
only after leaving behind your name,
number, address, and an explanation of
the incident.
After an accident:
Request a copy of the police report of
the accident for your records. When it is
determined who was responsible for the
cause of the accident, compensations may
be made for personal injuries, car damages and even lost wages, all depending on the type of coverage both parties'
insurance policies have. Keep in constant
communication with your insurer and
speak with a lawyer for any legal advice
concerning the accident or making an
insurance claim.
Exclusive interview with ASI President
BY DIANA VALDI VIA
Pride Staff Writer
Recently The Pride had the opportunity to interview our current Associated Student Inc. President, Alexander
Hoang.
Diana Valdivia: Tell us about yourself.
Alex Hoang: My name is Alexander

CEO. I'm studying Business Administration /Management. I am an

tional traveler that
seeks
to bring people
together ^ ^ K r
through my profesH H P sional & personal
experience. Oh
and I love
my mommy's cooking.
Valdivia: Almost a year ago you were
elected as ASI President. What made
you want to run for this position?
Hoang: From the moment I set foot on
CSUSM, I fell in love with it. I knew this
intimate learning environment would
transform my life, and I wanted to make
a positive impact on At as well. Many
students expressed their personal confidence in my leadership and shared with
me how I helped their lives through my
roles as a resident advisor, an orientation team member, and active member of
various clubs. As a natural advocate, I
decided to step up to the next level for
all students.
Valdivia: What do you
think is the biggest issue
facing CSUSM students at
this time?
Hoang:
The
biggest
issue facing students is
affordability and

enrollment. Parking permit prices and
textbooks are extremely high, availability of parking is troubling, and the offering of fewer class sections are delaying
graduation rates.
Valdivia: As ASI President, what
are you doing to help students with
this issue?
Hoang: I asked President Haynes for
help regarding parking permit prices
when I f irst stepped into o ffice and with
the help of ASI advocacy, she cut the
proposed increase by $35 dollars for the
next academic year. I also advocate on
a statewide level for our students and
have led a textb.ook affordability resolution that recently passed and is in the
works at our home campus. I've also
spearheaded the coded memorandum on
shared governance for our CSU. This
ensures the accountability of having a
student on an administrative committee
/ initiative to voice the student perspective.
Valdivia: What is your stand on the
idea and planning for the new University Student Union?
Hoang: The USU is an awesome legacy
in the process. It will clearly benefit the
whole community at CSUSM. Faculty
and staff in our administration should be
included in the fee implementation, not
just students, since it will enhance our
community as a whole.
Valdivia: What has been the best
part of being ASI President?
Hoang: The best part is standing by
the side of my fellow students each day.
To give my best, everything that I am to
engaging, empowering, and serving students is a true honor and privilege,
Valdivia: What has been the biggest
challenge as ASI President?
Hoang: The biggest challenge is the
learning curve. I have stepped up to
this challenge by professionally developing the board and creating an ASI
101 living transition manual so that any
f uture student chosen by their constituents to lead will be quickly supported in
order to deliver results for the students
of CSUSM.
Valdivia: Any additional thoughts
you would like to share with students?
Hoang: ASI is here for you if you
seek anything on your home campus
to be improved, enhanced, or changed,

Alternative fuel vehicles are in your future
Are you torturing yourself with lack of sleep?
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
BY JAMES SEBRING
Pride Staff Writer
Although the small scale nuclear
reactor found in a Delorean may
sound like a nice alternative for
fossil fuels, until we get a fully functional Flux Capacitor this just won't
be a viable option. Don't despair as
plenty of realistic options are in the
works with many already on the
road Fossil Fuel freedom includes
options such as Fuel Cell Technology, Ethanol, Electric Hybrids and
even Algae. Could Algae become a
viable fuel source for cars?
While Algae may not propel
your car with the power of 1.21 jiggawatts, if it can power a 747 it's
probably got the potential to get your
Scion moving too. In order for algae
to be used as fuel in vehicles, it must
be processed in a manner similar to
converting oil into gasoline. According to Dave Demeqian writing for
wired.com, "PetroSun Biofuels has
opened a commercial algae-to-biofuels farm on the Texas Gulf Coast..."
and continues "Of all the options for
future jet biofuel production, algae is
considered one of the most viable."
In this same article the viability of
using biofuels is given credence as
in early 2008 "Virgin Atlantic flew
a 747 partially powered by coconut
andbabassu oil." The CEO ofVirgin
Atlantic has become deeply concerned about the environment and is
taking a leadership role in promoting
alternative fuels. —
In an article by Mike Magda on
autobloggreen.com "Branson says

theuse ofbiofuels shouldbe expanded
to many industries. Branson's Virgin
transportation companies, including
Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains,
are going to reinvest profits into
renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels
is expected to be a beneficiary. The
company was already into bioethanol production and researching other
alternative fuels." Perhaps Branson
may be looking at the profit potential
of alternative fuels even as he claims
a concern for the environment One
may question Branson's real motivation, but it would be very hard to
say that he is all talk. He is taking a
very strong leadership role in creating a more environmentally friendly
option to fossil fuels.
While algae may become an
excellent substituteforfossil fuels in
the future, other options are already
on the road, and more are coming
soon from major auto manufacturers. There are already Hybrid Elec-
tries, Flex Fuel vehicles, Natural
Gas Vehicles, and Biodiesel cars
commercially available to purchase.
And without regard to the form of
transportation, these alternatives to
fossil fuels can be adapted to work in
planes, trains and automobiles. And
don't forget about the possibility of
pure electric cars.
GM hasn't forgotten about pure
electrics in spite of having pulled the
plug on the EV1, thefirstcommercially available modern electric car.
According to the Chevy web site the
'The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive
world is no longer just a rumor. In
feet, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it's unlike any other vehicle

Is there chemistry between students
and the new C HEM 2 50 lab?
Tuesday
March
10, 2009
BY PRISCILLA GEORGE
Pride Staff Writer
Despite budget cuts and cancelled
classes, Dr. Karno Ng teaches a chemistry laboratory course never before
offered by CSUSM.
Background Info; Previously, both
chemistry majors as well as pre-med students would take the CHEM 250 course
and pair it with CHEM 275, a threecredit course including a class and lab.
Students who did not fall into this category would generally take no accompanying lab with the CHEM 250 course.
This method worked well for quite some
time. However, it was actually a hindrance for non-chemistry majors. This
is because non-chemistry majors such
as pre-med students were not required
to take CHEM 275 but just needed
an accompanying lab for professional
degree purposes. Therefore, instead of
taking a 1-credit lab, no alternative was
given, forcing them to take on a course
they really did not need. For chemistry
majors, however, taking the required
CHEM 275 in conjecture with CHEM
25Ò allowed them to save time.
Lab's Purpose: As a remedy to this
dilemma, a new CHEM 250 lab was
developed this year. The lab "was primarily designed as a means for students
who are not chemistry majors to get a
second semester of 'general chemistry
lab' for the purpose of applying to medical school or other graduate or profes-
sional programs for which two semesters of general chemistry lab are prerequisites," said Dr. Michael Schmidt,
the current Chem 250 course instructor.
None of this makes any difference to students who are neither chemistry majors
or pre-med students, since they can still
take the CHEM 250 lecture without the
lab, just as before.
I nstructor Highlight: Dr. Karno Ng
currently teaches the new CHEM 250
lab. Dr. Ng has a Bachelor's of Science
in Chemistry and had the honor of being
Summa Cum Laude (3.8 GPA average),
has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and
an MBA. She was also the 2007/2008
recipient for the President's Award for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
from CSUSM. Because of her expertise
in Analytical Chemistry and her substantial qualifications, she was given thé
prestigious honor of creating the CHEM
250 lab from scratch. Dr. Ng says it is
a lot of hard work but this opportunity
is a privilege. She employs a variety of
educational tools such as worksheets,
pre-lab quizzes, the Vermier Software
Program for certain experiments, inclass quizzes, lectures expounding upon
the next week's lab and mini-lectures
the day of the lab to reiterate important
points and reminders. "The new CHEM
250 lab will usually be offered every
spring while the CHEM 250 lecture will
most likely be offered in both fall and
spring semesters," Ng says.
Lab Response: Students have both

the Chem 250 lab. Since this is a new

Junior Jennifer Oberschmid thinks "it's
kind of cool to be part of an 'experiment'." When asked about the lab size
and atmosphere, Banfer replied "the
class is small so you're able to get help
if you need it and not wait forever to
ask questions and the atmosphere is f un
and light."

Now, since films like "Saw" and

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:

A Neverending Story Popcorn storytelling
It all started when Paige decided
to leave Cole in charge of making
reservations. If maybe she had
called herself or enlisted a five
year old, maybe, then maybe, we
wouldn't be where we are right
now.
"This whole trip was your dumb
idea, remember? Don't blame
me." Paige says to me before she
crosses her arms and drops down
on a stump in the dirt.
I glare at Cole, while Amy and
Kimberly play Go Fish in the
truck bed.
"How in the world is this my
fault?"
"Well, it's not mine and now
Bryan and Tim are missing."
Back over winter break, I suggested that we all get together
like the old days for a road trip.
Paige thought it might be nice to
rent a cabin by the lake over the
spring break. Everyone agreed.
For months, I looked forward to
it. I didn't mind mid terms and I
sure as hell didn't worry about all
the money I would essentially be
wasting that could be put to better
use like for bills and food.
Four minutes into the trip, I
knew it was a bad idea.
"What do you mean, we have
to sleep in tents?" Amy and Kimberly said in near unison.
"I mean, Cole forgot to make
reservations for the cabin so we
have to sleep in tents." I clarified.
"Oh really?" Amy said, then
leaned over and gave Cole a Wet
Willie.
Kimberly glared at her.
By day three, everyone was
ready to cut the trip short and
Bryan broke the news that he had
to be back at work the next afternoon.
The other tents were packed by
the time I woke up.
Paige shook me out of sleep
sometime during the night. Her
hair was in a braid and she was in
the same overalls and white taiik
top she had been in since we left
Bryan's house to come up here.
She kissed me on the cheek and
told me to rise and shine.
Truth be told, I was pretty sick of
the dirt in myfingernailsand ants
in my food. Tim was going into
withdrawals not having any phone
service and he's pretty lousy when
he doesn't have phone service.
Amy and Kimberly were about
to kill each other and Cole was too
full of himself to try to mediate it.
"This isn't high school anymore, Evan." Paige told me this
afternoon before letting me know
they all decided to give it up and
head back home later tonight.
The campground was pretty
vacant. I remember the park
ranger telling us there were two
other groups checked in for the
week. He handed us a map that
Bryan used for blow his nose and
that's the last I remember seeing
it. The ranger also told us something about what to do in case of
emergencies but it went in one ear
and out the other like when flight
attendants tell you about those
inflatable life preservers on airplanes.
I stumbled out our tent and
combed my greasy hair back.
I was helping Cole load the
boat on the trailer while Paige,
Tim, and Amy were playing on
the dock. Tim was trying to push
the girls into the lake while they
screamed and protested. Tim lost
his balance on the foot of the dock
and grabbed Paige's arm for support. Both of them crash landed
into the chilly water.
I heard Paige's screeches while
Amy laughed. Then I heard her
cursing and I knew something
was up.
"The keys! They're gone!" Paige
kept saying over and over before
adding, "I hope you brought scuba
gear because we aren't leaving
without those keys."
"Don't be so dramatic," Amy
Word(s)
\
said. "We'll just call someone to
come get us;"
"How? With smoke signals?"
Four hours passed, which lead
me here with Bryan and Tim missing and Paige treating me like we
never broke up, attitude and all.
Cole leans over to me as I stare
out ahead, trying to think.
"This is bad, man. What are we
gonna do?"
I try to keep myself calm
because I know everyone else is
freaking out because it's dark outside. I know the practical thing
to do would be to sleep and then
worry about finding a phone in
the morning but no one wants to
do that.
"Why don't you stay here with
the girls and Paige and I'll go find
the guys and get to a phone."
To Be Continued..,
Check in next week to read the
continuation of "A Neverending Story" as told by a different
writer.

are meat options that are filling but do not

One misconception that people have is
that food from school cannot taste good,
or at least cannot compete with the quality
of an outside restaurant. This is an unfortunate misconception that students carry
over from elementary school, when abominations like "haystacks" and square pizza
were the best options.
However, nothing could be further
from the truth in this case. Want proof? If
people really think outside food is better,
they will be happy to hear that the chefs at
Sushi 101 are from the San Marcos branch
of Sushiya, a popular sushi bar chain.
In fact, much of the menu that regular
Sushiya customers love remains intact for
this tiny but delicious sushi spot in the Big
Cat Food Court. So why not try something
new for lunch that does not require microwaves or fryalators? Sometimes new experiences can lead to life-long love affairs,
even in the case of raw fish.
Jones Soda Blue Bubble Gum
Every kid's d ream, liquid b ubble gum
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Senior Staff Writer
Jones Soda manages the
production of their product
in Seattle, Washington. Peter
van Stoll| founded what would
eventually become Jones Soda
in 1987. The company gained momentum in 1994 when the Jones brand name
became widely available due to the support from a large distributor. Jones Soda
became the official name for the company in 2000. The company began with
only sixflavors.Currently, the company
has 20flavorsamongst a slew of different beverages including energy drinks.
Jones Soda can be purchased individually, in
4 packs, and even in 24
packs. A singe bottle
of Jones Soda retails
for about a dollar
and a half. Finding
the beverage might
be trickier than finding
more popular brands
of soda such as Coke or
Pepsi. However, BevMo
stores offer a great selection.
A unique characteristic about Jones Soda
the random photos on ea
bottle. The pictures ran
from a close up of a bee
a crashing ocean, and
pretty much anything and every-
thing in between. The beverage
company selects pictures submitted by customers. Making the distinctive characteristic even more
amazing is the fact that customers can special order a 12 pack of
Jones Soda with their own photo
and quote for $30.
A slight mist escapes from the chilled
bottle after opening the sealed cap. Under
the cap reads, "Be an angel. Save a life."
The vibrant color blasts beautiful blue rays
into every direction. The fluid releases a
scent very similar to a package of Bubblicious Blue Bubble Gum. The kid inside
jumps for joy as the blueberry flavored
soda gently massages all areas
of the mouth before passing on. The tongue cannot
help but rub the lips as the
taste buds excitedly beg for
more Jones Soda.
"It smells so sweat! It's
almost like a cream soda.
It kind of takes you back
to your childhood a
little bit. I don't know
exactly how, but it
does," said Senior
Business major Bryan
Spangenberg.
Make sure to chill
Jones Soda to maximize pleasure. Ice
might water down
the wonderful tasting drink. Cheers
mates!

Fundadora del Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas en proceso de retiro de CSUSM
Por MARTHA S ARABIA
Editora Principal
En 1990, la Dra. Stella T. Clark
fue seleccionada para fundar el
Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas de
la Universidad Estatal de California en San Marcos (CSUSM).
Hoy, 12 años después, Clark está
en el proceso de retirarse de su
carrera de maestra que ha mantenido por 38 años.
Este semestre empezó su proceso de retiró cómo miembro del
Programa de Retiro Temprano
para la Facultad (FERP), dicho
programa del sistema universitario estatal (CSU) tiene un
proceso de 5 años en el cual la
futura facultad jubilada empieza
a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que
será su nuevo estilo de vida. Este
programa consta de dar clases un
semestre y el siguiente no, y así
sucesivamente hasta los cinco
años cuando la facultad se retira
totalmente de su área de trabajo.
"El departamento debe

canchas universitarias en los fines

que viene a la universidad.
En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de
idiomas no fue el único problema
que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me
gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y
americanos," dijo Clark sobre su
generación. También dijo que en
ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías
o de género femenino no eran
maestros en universidades. Por
tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto
servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y
que creen que no pueden porque
son Latinas, porque son mujeres
o porque vienen de una sociedad
que no admite este tipo pero que
si se puede."
jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se
dejen vencer por los problemas
que va a haber problemas pero
que no son nada comparados con
los problemas de la vida si uno no
tiene su preparación académica."
Este consejo Clark lo recibió de
uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza
por las noches y que ganaba una
buena cantidad de dinero pero se
sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la
escuela para cambiar su estilo de
vida. "Estudiar es una inversión
emocional, psicológica, física,
y económica pero que les va a
rendir mucho cuando terminen...
Es un regalo que uno se da a uno
mismo," expresó Clark.
Clark le tiene un gran y profundo amor a su carrera. "Creo
que me pagan por algo que yo

magníficos," comentó Clark.
Clark empezó su carrera en

The Appearing and Disappearing Act of
Your Class Schedule
By POLLY
CHAROENKWANCHAI
Pride Staff Writer
Due to the sudden burst in
enrollment, several classes were
added to this year's schedule.
Since some of these changes
were made the week before the
start of the term or even the first
week of the semester, it was not
possible to include them in the
course schedule. In addition,
some classes were cancelled
and others moved to different
rooms to increase the size of
enrollment.
This administrative course of
action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the
summer break. The decision to
cancel these courses depends on
a variety of factors. "The most
common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie,
the Associate Dean in the College
of Arts and Sciences. According
to McDuffie, courses like LTWR
115 or WMST 445 were closed
because it "isn't cost-effective to
keep it open" thereby allowing
the money to be used for more
popular classes that will serve
more students. Other factors,
such as consultations with the
Department Chairs, the amount
of available sections in a particular course, and General Education
requirements are also taken into
account when determining which
classes to cancel. It is unclear if
the currently enrolled students
of these cancelled courses were
taken into consideration as a
deciding factor.
one room to another" as well as
changing "one time to another."
This^ change is meant to benefit
crashers and new students alike.
Late demands for classes are
resolved by moving the class into
a bigger room.
The
academic
schedule
remains to be determined by a
limited budget and limited space.
The fees that are collected from
the new enrollment is expected
to be spent on increasing the
"instructional budgets," therefore
providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester.
A complete list of available
courses is located in the College
of Arts and Sciences advising

East, and holds that theocracy is
no longer a valid form of government and that the focus should be
shifted to Arab Nationalism.
Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis,
Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative
talk on the historical context of
modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very
low ~ the audience numbered
less than a dozen — probably
due to lack of awareness of the
event rather than disinterest
Dr. Moukhlis, originally from
Morocco, volunteered his time,
despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn
more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge.
The,second school of thought
is that the Middle East can be
modernized without loosing
its cultural identity by merging
with western culture to the extent
that it is useful and simply not
adopting western attributes that
conflict with traditional values.
In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted
Bryan S. Turner who argues:
"What makes religious faith
or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern
society is that everyday life has
become part of a global system
of exchange of commodities
which are not easily influenced
by political leaders, intellectuals
or religious leaders."
The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies
that the Islamic world is using
in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity;
namely, in trying to modernize
without jeopardizing
traditional identity. According to Dr.
Moukhlis, there are three schools
of thought on this subject. The
first is radical for the Middle
The third school of thought is
that modernism is too secular and
holds too many perils, and that
the best solution is to return to
the pure or ancestral ways that
Islam describes as the model
for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr.
Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri
who argues, "It is essential... to
remember that secular rational

civility, indigenous development
and globalization, and communal identity and internalization of
human rights."
Dr. Moukhlis points out that,
dating as far back as Napoleon's
invasion of Egypt in 1798, which
he describes as being a huge
a shock of modernism to the
Middle East, the Arab world has
felt a pressure to catch up with the
West. While Moukhlis contends
that most Middle Easterners like
what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also
represents violence, invasion,
and the dehumanizing effects of
colonialism. The values that the
West holds as fundamental are
universally admired, however
the discrepancies between the
theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and
Middle Easterners alike. Giving
voice to Arab sentiment from
when he was living in northern
Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love

Debate
By JASON PADILLA
Pride Staff Writer
Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students
to senior citizens gathered at
7 p.m., Thursday evening, at
the Shadowridge Country Club
Home Owners Association in
Vistaf to participate and watch the
annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during
the introductory ceremonies, as
everyone was anxious to find a
chair in the crowded dining hall.
With a few dozen still standing
with their complementary snacks
and refreshments, partly due
to the large turnout and limited
seating, the introductions began,
and as the 3 candidates for Vista
City Mayor took their seats, the
forfrial dining hall grew silent in
anticipation.
followed by the current Mayor
of Vista Ed Estes, and last but
not least Morris Vance. Three
candidates that were scheduled
to speak but did not show were
Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and
Elvin Vega. Reasons for these
three candidates not showing up
were not given throughout the
evening.
All three candidates gave their
five to ten minute presentations
to either become or to continue
as the mayor of Vista. While the
candidates expressed their own
personal goals and ideas, they
also discussed similar issues they
all felt needed adjustment.
Similarly, topics ranged from
traffic congestion to new and

Other widely spoken events
mentioned were the correlation
of new development and traffic,
There is some unrest about the
current traffic congestion in Vista
and bringing in new developments such as Lowe's, Home
Depot, and additional shopping
outlets may cause additional traffic. Also discussed was the fact
that these additional structures
will boost the economy and possibly make Vista a more enjoyable city to live in. To counteract
the negative effects of these
developments, candidates proposed suggestions ranging from
widening both streets and side-

up their speeches, all welcomed

each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an
attempt to answer their queries,
While most in attendance were
satisfied with the question and

One year has officially passed
since America watched in shock
and horror as planes piloted by
Al-Queda terrorists flew into the
World Trade Center, the Pentagon
and rural farmland in Pennsylvania. In a pre-9-11 world, this act
would have been thought of not
only as unthinkable, but more
likely as a Hollywood stoiy line
than an event that was to grip our
nation unlike any in history. The
endless news coverage assaulted
us with images and stories of this
horrific event and it was through
these images that we identified
with what happened - live video
from three thousand miles away.
It seemed surreal, too great to
comprehend because hi our own
backyard life was, for all intents
and purposes.. .normal.
It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and
twenty stories and realize what
an impact it would have. What
would it be like to be there,
to actually see first hand the
destruction that has been wrought
and the impact on the people of
New York? Television can only
show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$
air, nor would it have the effect
of witnessing firsthand what
had really happened. For New
Year's Day of 2002, a friend and
I decided that we should witness
first hand what had befallen our
country.
happened. Our hopes for seeing
anything were becoming bleak as
we noticed a line stretched from
St. Mark's cathedral, heading
north into the city. We started
walking along the line looking for
the end but it just kept going. It
stretched for two city blocks then
took an abrupt left and continued
down for another four to the edge
of the site then c u ^ J back up
again. We got i nlii^Smewhere
around here and settled down for
what seemed like a long wait.
This was the coldest I could ever
remember being. I was growing
frustrated with the howling wind,
against which my scarf seemed
defenseless. It was then that it
hit me.
One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the
terror attacks one year ago .
New York in the winter is as
beautiful as it is cold. There's
a certain appeal from the leafless
tress and frost covered grass. As
in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when
set upon the white winter sky,
they have a romantic appeal that
screams "This is New York!' Our
plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site
and hopefully not get chased off
by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't
until we \yere in Times Square on
New Year's Eve that we learned a
public viewing platform had been
opened earlier that day.
Packed in with half a million
other people it was-the topic of
much conversation. Some did
not want to go because they felt
it was sacrilegious while others
could not wait for the chance
to see the awesome spectacle
of destruction. Most however
wanted to pay their respects, like
a never ending memorial service,
a form of prayer, and a word of
silence, remembrance. The New
Year rang in with red, white
and blue confetti and a personal
address from Mayor Rudolph
Giulianni, who said that after
September 11, we were all New
Yorkers.
marked for September 15 but
never opened for consumers to
take advantage, a closed coffee
shop with 9-11 specials still in
the window helps serve as a
reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life
were becoming apparent as we
made our way to the observation
platform; the scene transformed
from a bleak, empty reminder to
the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was
different.
The cab ride was easy. We
simply told him that we wanted
to get as close as possible to
the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard
this many times already, and
in silence we made our way to
New York's financial district.
Despite the cold, the sun was
shinning brightly, reflecting off
of huge office windows from the
buildings still left in Wall Street.
We were dropped off east of the
World Trade Center on the edge
Cabs were busy picking people
off Battery Park.
up and dropping them off but for
one very different reason. They
From there we made our way were coming to see just what had
west, walking alongside the site
and catching glimpses of the
destruction in between buildings. What was really catching
was the numerous businesses that
were closed on 9-11 and became
a kind of time capsule - a shoe
store with a sale in the window
The wind had yet to bother me
in New York but standing next
to a sixteen square acre hole, it
swept through the site with a fury
and without the towers to buffet
it, it attacked at will. After two
and a half hours of eternity and
a chin I knew I had but could
not feel, we made it back to the
main street and started our slow
procession towards the viewing
platform. The sunshine seemed
to have faded, replaced by gloom
as slowly we marched and then
all the various memorials left by
family and well-wishers invaded
our senses.
Candles were still burning
around make-shift signs and
computer printouts of missing
friends, husbands, wives, sons,
and daughters. I wasn't feeling
the cold from the wind anymore,
just the piercing chill of these
haunting images of smiling faces
that would never again see the
light of day. An old, rusty bicycle
was chained to a light post and it
seemed odd that the owner had
not claimed it. Looking closer,
there was no owner to claim. It
too was a memorial, adorned in
flowers and a rosary with a sign

paying tribute to the bike messengers who had lost their lives.
It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen
heroes of the Fire and Police
department but you did not hear
much about the little guys. That
got me thinking, what about the
janitors, the cooks, and the maintenance guys? There must have
been thousands of these people
that were equally affected by that
terrible day.

People were quiet, walking the
hundred-yard ramp up the platform and to the viewing area.
Most kept their heads down, it
could be said to avoid the wind,
but I like to think it was out of
respect. Police inform you when
you get to the actual viewing
stage that you have three minutes
and three minutes only. They
were serious. I saw them usher
away many loiters except for one
woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in
them to tell her that time was up.
It was easy to boot someone
who had just snapped off twenty
seven pictures and was reload"
ing yet another roll of film, but
how do you tell someone who
is looking wildly into the crowd,
through her tears of grief that it's
time to go? Standing on the edge
of the makeshift platform, it's
impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it
on T.V. makes it seem small and
unconnected. One of my first
thoughts was that planes didn't
do this, someone dropped about
a hundred bombs. It looked like
a war zone.
The pile of rubble was obvious
and backhoes normally 50 feet
tall were so deep in the site you
could only see the top of their
buckets. Most of the surrounding
buildings had half their windows
blown out except for one. It was
an older building, roughly forty
feet high and made of concrete.
It was melted. It looked like
sulfuric acid had been dumped
all over it and like a candle left
lit overnight had just melted
away. The human mind was not
designed to take in a scene like

If you haven't talked about,

most unexpected hit TV shows of
the summer, you must have been
under a rock. "American Idol"
took America by storm when it
made its world premiere on June
11, at 9:00pm on Fox. Two nights

stayed glued to the TV to find
out which potential Superstar
hopeful would be ousted next.

The viewers called in each
week to determine who gave
a star-studded performance
and who gave a not-so-stellar
performance. Whether your
favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil,
or the obvious sex kitten of the
bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers
had their top three of who they
thought would win. From an
overwhelming group of surveys
and public opinion, it was plain to
see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra
Gray, and Justin Guarini were the
favorites who were predicted to
make it to the grand finale show.

Now the process is, for the

Imagine the deflated sense of

there is erroneous information
contained within the article
on HALO ("The Low Down

of The Pride's September 10
issue. The author wrote that it
is possible to play through the

Also, he failed to mention the

tuition is hot sufficient to cover
paper processing), then back to
Registration and Records to turn
in the completed application.
But then they get a phone call
from Registration and Records,
interrupting that next phase. The
student is informed that "due to
an error," they must return to the
university to fully complete their
requirements, and their degree is
invalid until having done so.
Editors:
One student to whom this
revocation happened inquired
as to why he should come back,
being that the physical degree
was already in his possession.
He-was told that his degree is
now invalid, to be considered a
forged document. So he returned
to CSUSM to watch an employee
in the Registration office shred
his diploma, and he reluctantly
handed over his tuition for the
upcoming semester.

Again, thefe are 22 steps
- and two semesters prior
to graduation in which to
complete them. And yet,
we still cannot be sure
that once that degree is in
hand, it is ours to keep. So
where does that leave us? It
leaves us second-guessing
the determinations of the
people being paid to advise
us because they cannot
invariably be relied upon.
It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well,
in some unfortunate cases it
leaves us plain SOL, as the
saying goes.
The author of the article also
mentioned that he is up for a
battle with anyone who thinks
they can play and that he is
the HALO champion. This
may sound ridiculous, but I
would like to challenge him. I
understand that it may not be
appropriate that I address this
topic in mail sent to The Pride,
and not directly to the author,
but this is the only way I could
communicate with him.

This letter to the editors is in
response to last week's editorial
regarding "ASI and its Rules."
Each year with the re-election
of the ASI Board of Directors,
a retreat is scheduled to educate
the Board on the corporation they
will be running. The information
and experience that the retreat
j ffers is essential to the organization.
In the past, there was no official p olicy requiring a Board
member to attend the retreat,
thus many put it as a last priority
and did not attend. As last year's

campus for people with physical
disabilities.
Last week, student Lorraine
Puckett was unable to get her
wheelchair out of her van because
someone had parked on the blue
lines of the handicap space.
People who turn the blue lines
of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking
for a very expensive ticket.
CSUSM President Gonzalez
explained that our parking situation is complicated because the
state does not subsidize parking
services in any way. Parking
services must be completely selfsupporting.
Gonzalez explained that to
build the six planned parking
structurés, no state funds can be
used. Money for construction of
die structures must come from
parking services through substantial increases in parking fees.
Gonzalez also explained that
parking structures are extremely
expensive to build.
It breaks down to something
like 12-18 thousand dollars per
space. Therefore, if a structure
had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per
space, that equals 12 million
dollars for one structure. And
that's the low end of the money
spectrum.
Gonzalez assures students that
there is a committee currently
working on the parking issue and
looking at alternative areas and
solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for
the committee to report back to
him with their recommendations.
