I did not know. The rest of The Pride staff did not know. As far as anyone on the campus knew, the celebration was still to come. Indeed, that is true, the celebration is still to come. But it comes as a surprise to me the relative hush that surrounded the actual day. Although I am sure that the anniversary celebration, slated for later in the semester, will meet the expectations of this auspicious event, The Pride would like to extend a happy belated birthday to our school now.

"Don't be afraid to take Spanish," said Karla Ontiveros. "Don't feel stressed." To students who dread taking a foreign language class, Ontiveros' excitement for the subject encourages students to consider Spanish. Ontiveros is a graduate student in the Spanish program at Cal State San Marcos who is also teaching two sections of Spanish 102, Beginning Spanish II. Born in Tijuana, Ontiveros moved to Lakeside when she was 16. A fter graduating from El Capitan High School she then moved t o Temecula and began attending Cal State San Marcos. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish and is currently finishing her Masters of Arts in Spanish. Ontiveros is thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. in linguistics, but is unsure. A Ph.D. might take her away f rom being able to introduce the language to students who are learning it for the first time. Originally, Ontiveros was an accounting major, but found it boring. A fter taking a Spanish linguistics class, she discovered how interesting language can be. Now she wants to bring the excitement of learning a new language to others. Ontiveros loves interacting with her students and showing them, on a basic level, the joys of Spanish. Eventually, Ontiveros wants to teach Spanish at the community college level. She makes a real effort to understand her students. She knows the difficulty of learning a new language. Ontiveros tries to make her classes f un and enjoyable for her students through creative methods such as games and movies Ontiveros also speaks to her students in Spanish outside of the classroom to enhance the learning experience.

As the lead sleds rumbled to their positions along the old business district of Escondido, sounds of the past filled the air. Food and drink were enjoyed as people came to relive the cruises of the 1950s and 60s. The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA), along with the City of Escondido, is currently holding the fifth season of weekly cruises called Crusin' Grand. The Friday cruises take place on Grand Avenue 5 to 9 p.m., beginning the first Friday in April and running through the last Friday in September. The cruise and show take place along Grand Avenue between Orange Street and North Ivy Street. All vehicles are welcome to cruise Grand Avenue, but after 4 p.m., the City and DBA request that only pre-1974 American vehicles park along the street. Although the event was constructed with American cars in mind, several foreign makes can be seen parked along the avenue as well as a few custom or later model specialty vehicles. Only pre-1974 American vehicles are judged in the show and eligible to receive an award. Awards are given at 8 and 8:45 p.m. on the corner of Broadway and Grand Avenue. There is no entry or registration fee or determined award categories. The public is invited to bring their pre-1974 vehicle to the cruise and show. Parking along Grand Avenue is free, on a first come basis, and there is no time limit a fter 4 p.m. Parking for non-event vehicles is available at the many f ree public lots immediately See CARSHOW, page 2 �Tuesday, September NEWS 7 , 2004 INJJ/VVO T HE P RIDE CARSHOW from page 1 cles.

With a view from my house of the Del Mar fairgrounds and ocean water I have been lucky enough to visit the place "where the turf meets the s urf' on more than one occasion. As the horse racing season at Del Mar comes to an end on September 8, so does the excitement around my little coastal town. Del Mar provided many fun times this summer hanging out with old friends and new friends all the while meeting new interesting people. With a lot of luck this summer surprisingly the track provided me and my friends a place to make some extra cash. The very first bet of the season that my friend Matt placed was a $1 trifecta. A trifecta is where you are predicting the first, second and third 1Jùn place finishers in order. It is a low risk and high reward bet but it rarely will come in. However, his three horses came in exact order and he won over $200 on a $1 bet. The rush from seeing that was unbelievable, but what happened before he got his money no one could have foreseen. He thought that his third horse didn't come in third so he tore up his ticket in frustration of being so close. It turned out to be a photo finish for third and he ended up having to pick up the pieces off the ground and take it to the window and beg for them to accept the ticket. As soon as that happened I had an inkling that this was going to be a wild track season at old Del Mar and I sure was right. Every time I went to the track something new happened. With such a wide variety of people I didn't know what to expect when I would meet someone new. On one occasion I went to the track with my friend Chantal and before we knew it we were hanging out with a prominent sports talk show host. By the end of the day I had met a great contact. Just recently I attended the track with Scott who is a fellow Pride staff writer. I started talking with a jockey who is one of the most famous jockeys to ever ride a horse, Before I realized it I was being chewed out for the fallacies that some newspapers report. By the end of this conversation I saw first hand the beef that some people have with journalists. I could go on about a dozen more stories but mind you these are the stories my friends will allow me to share as many more jaw dropping things did occur on my visits. Of the friends that I took for their * very first visit to the race track they all couldn't wait to go back. Every single one of them would say things like, "What a fun atmosphere" or "What a great place to meet new people" The famous race track saying is "Go baby go". I would like to repeat that one last time as the season is almost upon completion, and I would like to add "but come back real soon". Dude, where's my seatI ByKJMBERLY SCHLATER Pride StaffWriter Churchill's P ub & Grill W e're C SUSM's L ocal P ub! As the new semester begins at Cal State San Marcos, the heavy flow of students racing to get a seat in class just seems to increase. Unfortunately many of the students who have claimed a seat are not even enrolled in the class. Most crashers sit with their fingers crossed as the instructor takes role. After the instructor isfinished,the crashers raise their nervous hands and ask the infamous question, "Are you taking any crashers?" Most instructors are very generous; however their student limit usually ranges from 35 to 40 students per class. Many students get lucky, but a great number get turned away if they are not graduating soon or not the lucky pick in the lottery. So I ask myself, why is this prob- lem just increasing instead of being resolved? The student population at Cal State San Marcos just keeps growing every semester, so why are there not enough classes and instructors to accommodate this ever growing University? This problem needs to be solved before it jeopardizes upper division and graduating students. - Just minutes west of campus at 887 W.

Medulla, a Latin word meaning marrow, is the answer and also the title for the musician's latest album, released August 31st, 2004. Exploring and experimenting with music is what has made Bjork unique, and this uniqueness is demonstrated throughout Medulla to its entirety. The album originally consisted of an assortment of instruments and Bjórk's vocal tracks but upon completion Bjork muted out the instruments leaving solely her vocal tracks. This decision left the album completely acapella. Bjork then brought on a team of human beat boxers consisting primarily of former The Roots member Rahze1, and an u nheard of Dokaka. Rahzel's and Dokaka's human beat boxing can be heard t hroughout album and is at its Sept. 22) Cleanliness %m organization are often your fmj^gest fortesy but that doesn yt need to be true thisjbontk the minutes and a little more time You '11findthat pu ^ and your friends love you more than you LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct ^ have a lot more than you realized, kkew^^^f 22) No one has pewmpftshed all they ever wanted by sitting around.

This month, try taking a role of servitude. Be open to lessons in humility, tolerance, and patience. Hero is onfe of the most beautiful, amazing films I've ever seen, but I also think it's an acquired taste - like escargot. I'd pitch this film as a sort of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets The Matrix, but that hardly does justice to the artistry of fifth generation filmmaker Zhang Yimou. Zhang has a painter's eye for color - which becomes a character unto i t s e l f a n d reveals the complexity of the story like a geisha disrobing: peeling off the delicate layers of silk until the bare soul of this film is exposed. Hero is set in China some 2,300 years ago, when the country was divided into a half dozen warring factions. Jet Li is the assassin, Nameless, who has succeeded in killing the Qin king's enemies. Most of the film involves telling the story of how Nameless ended up in a private audience with the king, which includes the best wired martial arts sequences ever captured on film. Fhoto Courtesy ofMiramax films Zhang is also generous in sharing his artistic sensibilities in choosing his settings, from the stark, moonscape that is China's interior, to a psychedelic deciduous forest, to a rain sequence like nothing you've ever experienced. My only real criticism is that the subtitles are a bit clunky I'm certain the beauty of the Chinese language has been sadly maimed by the translation into English subtitles - but the visual artistry of the film more than makes up for this lack. So I'd recommend Hero if you're the type of person who enjoys visual artistry in film, who isn't annoyed by having to read subtitles, and who embraces the chal- lenges posed by storytelling from a very different (read non-American) cultural perspective. Otherwise, just go see Collateral and leave this film to the escargot-eaters. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
