"There is evidence that the combinations of caffeine and alcohol in these products pose a public health concern," Sharfstein continued. An article featured in NYdailynews.com declared that Four Loko, another caffeinated, alcoholic drink, allegedly caused the death of a 21-year-old fe- male who drove her car into a telephone pole in Maryland. Many states have already placed bans on caffeine-alcohol combination drinks including Washington, Utah, Michigan and Oklahoma. "We are aware of the concerns expressed by various regulators and will ensure that all JOOSE products meet both state and national health and safety guidelines," continued Michail. "As the creator of this category of products, United Brands has always taken pride in the high quality of our products, and we will continue to lead in the development of JOOSE products." The FDA requires that these manufacturers amend their products, or the FDA will take appropriate action to "ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." Changes for some companies have already begun while others, such as JOOSE, are still in the works. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, announced on Nov. 16 the intent to remove caffeine from its drinks. Other caffeine-alcohol combination drink makers, Miller and Anheuser-Busch, agreed to discontinue beverages such as Sparks, Tilt, and Bu4 Extra within past ypara. To date, the only approved caffeine by the FDA is as an additive for use in soft drinks in concentrations of no greater than 200 parts per million (ppm). The FDA has not approved caffeine for use at any level in alcoholic beverages. The FDA did not mention any restrictions with the use of mixed drinks such as vodka and Red Bull that can be easily ordered at any alcohol-serving establishment.

TURN TO P. 10 FOR A REVIEW "n a college student's life, convenience is important. I .A credit card makes life a bit easier. With one swipe, the bank electronically sends your money to pay for what you need or want. Collegeboard (www.collegboard.com/) and the Federal Trade Commission give some tips to students about what to do before signing up for a credit card. The truth about a credit card is that you, the spender, are using money that they, the credit card companies, are just loaning you money. It is a common fact that some users forget. The credit card has a preset limit on how much one can spend, but it brings severe consequences if payments are not met. Depending on the card, there is a minimum amount allowed as the monthly payment. The problem is that if you only pay the minimum, you need to send rest of the payment in next month's bill plus what you owe from that bill. In the case that a user misses a payment, the bank or credit card company adds a harsh fine to the bill. Sometimes thefineprint of the contract hides unwanted fees. In the end, it becomes a snowball of debt. Gloria Diaz, a third year Anthropology and Women's Studies double major, gave her thought on the usage of credit cards.

Without proper care, convenient things become a hassle. Mainly, save the credit card as a last resort. Only use it if you know you have the money to pay off the balance. Do read and understand all the fine print. Some cards have hidden charges glow on us daily, and the cloudless open sky barrages us with very cold air (particularly if you arrive at campus early or leave later at night). Meteorologists predict sunny skies for the beginning of the week, but those skies will be cloudless and cold with highs within the 60s. Most days during winter, I still see people going about their day in shorts, flip-flops and t-shirts. To each his own, I suppose, but there are solutions to preparing for the multi-temperature-filled days ahead. As the so-called San Diego County "winter" looms in the distance, it is safe to say that layering is the best method to prepare for the weather. If you are not up for relying on just the sun to warm you, arrive at school bundled up (especially recommended to those early risers), then layer down as the day wears on. Now along with books, you can lug around that large coat that hid in the back of your closet for the past three hot seasons. For being someone who has never experienced snow, but can barely dress right for this weather, I am glad that it does not occur here. One can only imagine the unprepared mayhem that would bring. Many say that the four seasons do not exist in southern California. I really cannot disagree with that statement. Often, it feels as though the weather here is either hot or cold. The hot days usually seem to dominate the cold, and it would not be surprising to find flip-flops and sunny day beach shirts in the wardrobes of San Diegans. Some days we receive a much needed, sympathy-driven cold spell, with strong winds and the occasional random rain clouds (that always seems to follow you wherever you go). What residents of Southern California are used to, but are never quite prepared for, are the unpredictable weather patterns. Southern California is in for a La Niña this winter. Be prepared for dry weather, according to KPBS. org. Due to the coming dry climates, this upcoming winter season should experience little to no rain, which is certainly a relief from the on again off again showers that tend to hit students during the rush hour drive home. These dry spells stir trouble following winter though, with fire as the main adversary of the south.

The trip was organized by Sheryl Lutjens, director of the Women's Studies program, who has academic ties to Cuba going back over 30 years. She made her first journey to Cuba in 1979 - a two-week trip to study Cuban health programs. Since then, she has organized 14 trips to Cuba, the largest for a group of over 50 participants. The last three have been organized specifically as research trips, since conferences are not allowed by US regulations banning travel to Cuba. The trip in October was entitled "Busquedas Investigativas: Exploring Cuban Educational Practices." In this case, Lutjens gathered 17 educators from around the US. Each submitted an in-depth research plan, as well as their curriculum vitae, in order to be approved for a travel visa to Cuba. While the trip focused on education, each participant had his or her own more specific area of interest. Dawn Formo, the associate dean of instruction and academic programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, went to study literacy in Cuba. "Literacy rate in Cuba is amazing - nearly 100%. I went knowing what their literacy rate [was] and within a year of the revolution, they had eradicated illiteracy. We had an opportunity to visit several kinds of campuses... to see what's happening in the pre-schools up to the universities, so I was just very interested in what they are doing, because this is amazing. I mean, how" many countries can say this?" Jodie Lawston, an assistant professor in sociology, was focused on a completely different topic, studying the effect of edu- PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA.ORG cation on incarceration rates. "As you see, every year, there's a 'get tough on crime' emphasis and less funding [for] education in the US," she said. "[I wondered] what criminal justice would look like in a society with high funding for education, whether they focus on rehabilitations versus punishment." The group spent roughly a week in Cuba, visiting Havana and various locations in the Villa Clara Province and touring various sites covering everything from pre-school education to Afrocuban studies to a special school for blind and deaf children. Certain days were dedicated specifically to working with Cuban educational partners on their research topics. According to the trip participants, some of the most interesting cultural exchanges happened outside the educational setting. "I didn't know what to expect, but the people we met were the most gracious I've met. Kind, and gen- erous... in every way," Formo said. "I mean, to experience a culture that has made it clear in so many ways that there are two main priorities, healthcare and education. To feel what it is to walk the streets in a culture where those are the two priorities, and with limited resources, you can't do everything. You make sacrifices... People are not starving, but there wasn't a lot. I mean, nobody wastes. They know how to make thoughtful, careful use of their resources. That was kind of 'wow.'" Lawston also feels that her viewpoint has been heavily influenced by the experience. "Since I've gotten back, I'll tell you that not a day that goes by that I haven't thought about Cuba. One of those most influential trips that I've had," she said. "I didn't expect that to happen." She was also surprised by something unexpectedly missing in Cuba. "I keep telling all my students this, there were no advertisements... There weren't scantily clad women in everything. All billboards were political or educational. It really brought it into light when we landed in Cancun, and the first billboard I saw was [for] Hooters." Lutjens said she is already planning another trip - her fifteenth, based on interest from colleagues who couldn't make it this time. "We may make the gathering a biannual event, rather than an annual one," she said. "Many people who went this year or in past years are interested in returning to continue their research." She does state that undergraduate students cannot attend, though it may be possible for graduate students if they get special permission from the US government. That may not always be the case, though. "I also went to begin conversations about establishing faculty and student exchanges," Dean Formo said, "so that Cal State faculty and students, if interested, could study in Cuba." ¡•I LGBTQ Pride C enter S afe s pace a nd fun p lace BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER . to store their food, the study room also has a refrigerator and a microwave.

The Red Bull Barmaster Competition is a collegiate battle between CSUSM, SDSU, USD and UCSD where college students are chosen to represent their university and compete at bartending. Before the competition, Steven Greene cheerfully said he only had two aims: "To make sure everyone has a great time," and, "to win the Red Bull Barmaster title for CSUSM." Greene did his best to take home the title for CSUSM but came second to Ryan Neville from SDSU. Greene did have a large fan club cheering him on through the night. The CSUSM crowd had green bracelets representing our university and many were dressed in t-shirts with Greene's face on them. Greene and'his friends, in particular, liatf matching m ustaches. The competing barmasters served Red Bull-vodka cocktails to the many college students at the local pub where the competition was held.

The talk covered his life, his background, his experience being on television, and how he reached his current level of success. At first, he was very unsure of his life path. "I never knew what I wanted to do," Zien said. As a result, he followed in the footsteps of his older brother, picked the same major, and went to the same school. After graduating, he found himself working at a job he hated and, For applications and information: he knew he wanted to change careers.

Zien wanted to cook things that other people would also be able to learn quickly and cook themselves. Soon after getting the idea, he made a demo tape and sent it out to five experts in the business. "Not one liked it," he said. As a result, he sent it to local San Diego stations, and finally his demo landed in the right hands. The show first started off as a segment a few minutes long that was played twice a week. Eventually, it grew into a half hour episode. Since then, Zien has experienced an incredibly high level of success with the format. He's won 12 Emmys, produced three books, and his show has become a national series on Discovery's Health channel.

You can choose to participate in a 10K run, which begins at 7:10 a jn., or a 5K run/walk, which beings at 8:15 a.m. The organizations that will benefit from this race are the San Diego Food Bank, Foodmobile, and Jewish Family Services. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to helping anyone who cannot afford food. The event will also collect food that these organizations can distribute on Thanksgiving. If you can't personally make a donation, there are other ways you can contribute. You can volunteer at the event, which may include tasks such as setting up tables with food for the runners and walkers pnee the race is over, or serving them water throughout the run/ walk. The second option is to ask friends or neighbors if they would be willing to donate canned food for the event. If you are interested in participating in the actual race, you need to sign up ahead of time. To find more information, you can visit the site at www. kathylopere vents .com/hungry/ . In Oceanside, Pacific Marine Credit Union will be celebrating their fifth annual O'side Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, an event that benefits the Oceanside schools, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat! Foundation, and the Virginia Ann Scheunemann Memorial Fund. The Turkey Trot has several events, including a five mile run/walk, as well as an open 5K run/walk and a "locals only" 5K run/walk, as well as kids' events. The event has raised over $46,000 in the last three years and continues to honor their commitment to fundraising again this year. Whether you wish to participate or just to check it out, you can find more information on www.osideturkeytrot.com But what if you find yourself unable to leave campus? Start the week's festivities early. The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) will be hosting a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Feast on Tuesday, Nov. 23, from 2:30. - 3:45 p.m. in Commons 206. The University Village Apartments (UVA) will also be hosting a Thanksgiving lunch. Dishes such as turkey, ham, and rice will be served for all in the UVA lobby. The UVA lobby will also have a "What are you thankful for?'' board. Students can take a post-it note, and write down what they feel they are thankful for and residents can see what others have shared.

It's right here on campus in parking lot B, from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Either way, get creative, whether you are a student from abroad or an American who just can't get home for the break, Thanksgiving can still be a great time of year for college students.

Azusa Pacific placed 6th. By finishing in the top-30 overall (including individuals), CSUSM's top-three runners earned All-American status. Leading the way was Cady Villarreal. An Ail-American last season, the junior had not finished first on the team in any race this season. That changed at Nationals, with Villarreal running 18:18 to place 8th in the field. Second on the team was Kelly Thompson who placed 15th at 18:30. Thompson, a sophomore who led CSUSM to a win at its Conference Championship earlier this month, has proven time and again that she will come through at big meets, and she did so on Saturday. In 2009, Thompson was the wild card that keyed CSUSM's national championship. In 2010, that honor belongs to Carol Schryver, who ran a fantastic 18:33 to finish 17th in the field. While Schryver was expected to be in the team's top-five runners, for hei* to finish third on the team and in the overall top-20 was a huge boost to Coach Scott's team. Fourth was reliable Jessica Sandoval, who has been the team's most consistent runner throughout the season. Sandoval finished 19th at 18:36. Finally, newcomer Suzanne Cornwall sealed thé victory for the Cougars. Coming to CSUSM all the way from Maryland, Cornwell took 29th in the field, and when she crossed the finish line at 18:47, the team victory was secured. Also competing for the Cougars were Jen Albright (79th; 19:26) and Chelsey Cortez (84th; 19:29). "In professional sports, the hardest thing to do is repeat. The next hardest thing is to be ranked first and win," commented Coach Scott. ' The girls overcame a lot, and lived up to all the expectations. I can't be prouder of them." CSUSM becomes the first NAIA school to repeat as women's cross-country National Champions since Simon Fraser (B.C.) wonfivestraight from 2007-2007.

The film tracks Phoenix in 2008 when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip-hop, rapping under the name JP. Portrayed as an odd combination of absurd comedy and a distressing victim, you may not be able to trust the film's supposed reliability, but you will certainly be fascinated by the strange ride that Affleck and Phoenix take you on.

PHOTO COURTESY OF APPLE.COM (RIGHT) AND GOMONEWS.COM (BOTTOM) HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is well-paced and will keep you mostly interested and engaged for the 146 minutes of its entirety. Maybe the reason why it is so engaging is because the entire film functions as a great big tease. You wait over two hours for a payoff, enjoying the ride that teasing generally brings, but are ultimately cut short by the credits, receiving no relief. You also may want to refresh your memory on what happened in the last couple films but once you remember, the movie continues on a straight path, leading up to the film's end that will having you sighing over the eight month wait for the climax promised in the final installment, released in July in 3D. Without Hogwarts to protect him, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), with the help from Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), is on the run from the various bad guys who are hunting him on behalf of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), who takes lessons of tyranny from Hitler with his own style of racial cleansing. Predictably, love triangle drama threatens to break the three friends up as they are stranded in the woods, searching for the four Horcruxes (pieces of Voldemort's soul, remember?). With the film dragging in the middle, it absolutely soars in an animated sequence illustrating the origins of the Deathly Hallows, waking you instantly from the monotony of the film's middle. Also of note is an all too brief dance scene between Harry and Hermione to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "O, Children," which is fascinating in its awkwardly sweet placement. The film briefly pulls in some new faces (Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, and John Hurt), giving the film more artistic credibility, but never uses the actors' full talent (Hurt is only near the end and barely noticed as background). The film also fails to take advantage of some of the other original characters; Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) and the Aryan Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) are merely onscreen for the sake of being onscreen. Their characters aren't used to their full extent, putting their usually sinister doings on hold for the sake of their forced appearances. However, there are saving graces. Rupert Grint, clearly no longer a child, shines as the jealous Ron and little Dobby the elf makes his return in a chorus of "awwwws" and you can't help but join in. James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps are comedic scene stealers as the twins, Fred and George Weasley, Ron's brothers. Finally, there's Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Fiennes, looking like the illicit lovechild of Nosferatu and a vampire bat with an eerie sweetness that reminds one of Martha Stewart on a bender, delivers a sickly disturbing onscreen presence that has you longing to see his fascinating face in every single frame. Was it truly necessary to break the final film up into two parts? Probably not. Much of Part I consists of the three friends bouncing from place to place, looking to be in a real dire hurry, without discovering much of anything to make it worth their, and our, while. However, the real test will be the final film (in which Gary Oldman makes a long-awaited return as Sirius Black). With six previous films and 146 minutes of drawn-out teasing in Part 1, the payoff better be worth it.

Other Native American leaders on our campus include Dr. Joely Proudfit, part of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Dr. Proudfit is also a member of the California Indian Sovereignty Center and The Native American Advisory Council. The student-based American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) is an active student organization based on increasing awareness and acceptance of Native Americans. Dr. Proudfit encourages people to come visit the California Indian Sovereignty Center and AISA to become engaged and involved in Native American culture. Any student may join AISA, whether they are Native American or not. Dr. Proudfit said, "If students would like to get engaged in the Native American community, here on campus, they should enroll in some Native American based courses." She went on to say the courses really brought students closer to thè communities around campus. Typically, in the spring, students get to take field trips to local reservations and speak with community members about tribal life. In the fall, community leaders come to CSUSM to talk about the challenges faced by Native Americans. Also, a Native American Studies minor may be taken. Recently, our campus recognized National Native American Heritage Month by showcasing the Native American film, "Older than America." The presentation drew a full house and some audience members had to sit on the floor. The film was the first to be entirely directed and produced by a female Native American named Georgina Lightning.

In the case of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the language barrier between Swedish and English becomes a problem if the original were to make its way to American theaters. Foreign films struggle with American audiences, so releasing them here becomes less desirable. Remakes are also made on the small screen, with shows like "Battlestar Galactica," "The Office," and "V." These shows have their differences from the original material; however, they are still based on the same premise. As remade television shows are given the green light, Hollywood chooses not to support original content. Though some remakes are successful, for example "The Office," most seem to fall short of surpassing the original material. Until Hollywood considers this, audiences can expect to see more recycled movies and shows.

SEGALL Pride Editor On Friday at noon, more than 100 students, faculty, and staff gathered in Founders Plaza for a moment of silence" on the national Day of Prayer and Remembrance. The CSUSM community joined thousands of people around the county to remember the victims and families of those affected by the attacks. Oceanside was one of the cities that held services, including a prayer service at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base Chapel, where more than 250 people gathered. Elementary schools and high schools across the district also recognized the day with a moment of silence. State Superintendent Delaine Eastin encouraged schools to observe the moment of silence, calling the day a time "to reflect on our great American heritage." The day was observed not only by people in New York and around the United States, but also around the world. In Rome, Pope John Paul IL took a moment of silence to pray at his home in Castel Condolfo. Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Tony Blair, and thousands of people gathered in and around England's St. Paul's Cathedral for a prayer service. »Article cont on pg 5 Credit Card Marketers to Be Regulated on College Campuses By MELANIE ADDINGTON Pride Editor New legislation to regulate the marketing practices of credit card companies on California's college campuses was signed by California Gov. Gray Davis on Thursday. The legislation will require California State University and the California Community Colleges to adopt policies regulating credit card marketing on campuses. "I think it's appropriate legislation at this point. I agree with Gov. Davis," said CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. "This bill (AB 521) is necessary to stop aggressive credit card marketing practices aimed at college students. Credit card companies induce college students with no credit history to sign up for cards by offering gifts. Often they provide these students with little or no information about the financial responsi- bilities of owning a credit card," said Gov. Davis. The new policy that each campus governing board is asked to adopt includes several requirements: First, credit card marketing sites must register with campus administration, and the number of sites must be limited. Second, credit card marketers are prohibited from offering gifts to students for filling out credit card applications. Also, campuses must routinely offer credit card and debt education and counseling sessions as part of their campus orientations for new students. In addition, colleges and universities must utilize existing debt education materials prepared by nonprofit entities to avoid the incurring expense of new materials. The bill is not a mandate, but is instead a request for each campus to consider adopting the policy requirements. Each university president will receive the bill information and then "will look at the suggestions and see what can be implemented," according to Colleen BentleyAdler, spokesperson for the CSU Office of the Chancellor. Gonzalez said he feels that marketing abuse does occur with students. He told how his older son, a college student, received a credit card and spent a great »Article cont on pg 5 �The Pride Relief and Rescue Efforts: What People Can Do to Help By JENNIFER HOLMES Pride Staff Writer With the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attack on New York and Washington, many people at CSUSM have asked, "What can we do to help?"

The FBI arrested a material witness on Friday in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, a Justice Department official told NBC news. This is the first official witness detained by the FBI. According to CNN reports, the man was arrested for allegedly possessing a false P resident B ush Visits N ew York By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer After declaring Friday a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, President George W. Bush visited the rubble of the New York World Trade Centers. Other government officials, including New York Gov. George Pataki, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accompanied President Bush on Friday. There was tight security for the officials, specifically the President. He saluted rescue workers, .police, andfirefighterswho were searching for victims that may have been trapped in the ruins of the Twin Towers. President Bush, using a bullhorn to address the crowd, wrapped his arm - around one of the rescue workers. People who were yelling interrupted him shouting, "We can't hear you." President Bush • immediately replied, "I can hear you. The rest of the world can hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." Following those words, the audience began chanting, "U S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A." The President concluded his speech saying, "The nation sends its love and compassion to everybody who's here. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for making the nation proud, and may God bless America." pilot's license. However, a material witness is not necessarily a suspect in a criminal investigation. The designation of "material witness" means that the witness is believed to have highly pertinent information and may be a flight risk, according to NBC reports. The name of this witness, as of Saturday, had not been released. NBC news anchor Pete Williams also reported Friday night that this witness was one of 10 who had been detained Thursday at one of New York's three major airports. FBI investigators said they believe he knows more about the attacks than he has been saying since he was detained, Williams said. Williams also reported in news reports that two men were "We'll get them running, and well bring them to justice." George W. Bush President of U.S.A. arrested Wednesday on suspicion of immigration violations after they had an argument at an Amtrak station in Fort Worth. The men are identified as Ayoub Ali Khan, 51, and Mohammed Jaweed Azmath, 47. When arrested, they were carrying $5,000 in cash in addition to a box cutter, an object believed to be among the weapons hijackers used in Tuesday's attacks. Also, Williams reported that Khan and Azmath boarded a flight from Newark, N.J. to San Antonio, around the' same time of the attacks on Tuesday morning. However, their flight was forced to land in St. Louis when all U.S. flights were grounded after the attacks. From St. Louis they boarded an Amtrak train heading to Texas, where they were detained and interrogated. After being interrogated for two days, they were taken to New York for further investigation of their possible connections to the terrorist attacks. U.S. officials have told NBC that FBI agents are "fairly confident" that these suspects know about the network behind Tuesday's attacks and that it was organized by exiled Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden. FBI officials told NBC reporters that they presented the. most promising lead developed so far in the investigation. NBC's Jim Popkin reported Saturday that the FBI raided Khan and Azmath's former apartment at 6 Tonelle St. in Jersey City, N.J. Some neighbors said that many people were taken away for questioning, but an FBI spokeswoman told NBC only that at least one person had been detained for interviews with FBI agents in connection with the terrorists' attacks. CNN reported that FBI spokeswoman Sherri Evanina had confirmed that while searching the apartment, agents came across two other individuals who are being questioned. Law enforcement sources told CNN reporters that they believe that the lead group in Tuesday's attacks may have been the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The chief of this group, the sources said, is a top lieutenant of bin Laden. Bin Laden's group, al Qaeda, is an umbrella group that allegedly coordinates the actions of smaller organizations. The investigation continues not only in the U.S, but also around the world. The FBI said they believe that nine suspects could have or are trying tofleeto Mexico. •MSN.com and CNN.com contributed to this article. in nwhma IF SO A dvertise w i t h T he P t k M ^ weft will m m m b usinesses, ttufes* m » S tudent, s taff % f aculty w ill wee e w e a d iscount e tt aH 3d* C O N T A C T U S @ T HE P R I D E 7 6 0 . 7 5 0 . 6 0 9 9 / 7 6 0 . 7 5 0 . 3 3 4 5 F AX P RIDE@CSUSM.EDU �CSUSM Students Speak out amidst Tragedy By JUSTIN ANDREWS Pride Staff Writer Last Tuesday will make its mark, not only in history, but also in the hearts and minds of all Americans. As we painfully recall images scorched permanently into our memory, we close our eyes and it is almost as if we could project that catastrophic Tuesday in the back of our eyelids. You will remember where you were when you heard. You'll know how you felt. You'll remember walking away from class shocked, mournful, and relieved that you're ok. As you walked to your cars, as you prepared yourself for a life-changing day with your television, I asked you, "What are your thoughts?" Diego Aguillon: I think it's really sad that someone has the heart to do that. You know, I wonder what's going to happen politically as soon as the U.S. finds out who did this. I mean, I wonder what's going to come of, it. And my prayers go to families that lost loved ones and the victims that lost their lives. The Pride: Do you feel safe here? Diego Aguillon: I feel, overall, we're safe, Southern California. My only concern is Miramar Base and Camp Pendleton. I think precautions, now, are being taken to make sure all of us are safe. Overall I think it's a tragedy, all those people had to lose their life. Silvia Alvarado: I personally think that they're laughing at our airport security. There's no way four people could get on an airplane and hijack it without some kind of inside security problem. Recently they were doing this study that a lot of people that work at the airport, like in baggage claim, get background checked. I just think it a failure on our airport security system. The Pride: Do you feel safe here in Southern California? Silvia Alvarado: Yeah I feel safe here because our military is on full alert, and we have the Navy out there. just depends what side you're on.

I mean it II H f Settling in Aix By LAURA HOPKINS For The Pride My room at Les Gazelles awaited me, but before reaching it, I first had to lug my two large suitcases, my laptop and a carry-on bag up a hill, down the stairway, and onto the hot pavement in front of the dorms. The unsightly building and four-square foot cubicle where I laid my bags surely could not have been the room I imagined when I dreamt of student life in Aix, France. The sweltering heat, combined with travel fatigue and the sight of the dorms earmarked for CSU International students caused me to immediately turn around and head for the "centre ville" of Aix-en-Provence. It was there that I found a hotel room with a bathroom and shower, and it was from there that I began my search for the charming picture that had hung for so long in my mind. I arrived in Aix on Aug. 22 as a student participant of the California State University's International Program in Aixen-Provence. The primary objective of this yearlong program, according to CSU International Programs officials, is to "enable participants to gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of other areas of the world." The Aix program includes 56 students from various California State University campuses who attend the Institute d'fetudes Fran^aises pour Etudiants Etrangers (IEFEE), more fondly referred to as the "Institute." I began my four-week preparatory language course on Monday, Sept. 3 at the Institute after taking my language placement test. My class consists mostly of French grammar, and after one week of studies, the wheels are beginning to turn. I'm also taking a conversational practice class, which is probably the most practical, but at the same time, • Everything stopped today at noon for 3 minutes in Aix for a silent moment in memory of those who tost their lives on Tuesday The movement on the streets came to a hault and the only sound heard was the chiming of the church bell.

It's part of a renovated 18th century home that comes with character and style at noadditional charge. And the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind and cafe conversations along the Cours Mirabeau begin to meld with the Provencal painting hanging in mymind. Addendum: After I wrote this piece, we received the horn fic news of the terrorist attack in the United States. There is great sadness, as well as confusion among the students of the CSU International Program as there is, I'm sure, among those of you at home. There is also heartfelt mourning and concern among the French citizens of Aix. The media coverage is extensive, with cohtinuous broadcasts both on radio and television, The headlines of the local newspaper today, l a Provence,, read, "I'apocalypse," while half of the front page was covered with a photograph of the demolished Twin Towers and the scattered remains. There are frequent references to "horror films" and "science fiction" when describing the images that come our way. Our thoughts, feelings, and speculations run rampant with questions still unanswered, as they must for you at home. �Forum Held for Campus Community in Wake of Terrorist Attack (Above) President Gonzalez (Rf)Student Sean Harris was the first to get up and speak. (Pride Photos/Melanie Addinzton) »Article cont. from pg 1 as the Inter-Varsity and Priority Christian Challenge, were at the service of the students. "We want to be at your service," said Phillips. "We want to be of help." They held a prayer at 11:45 a.m., following the forum. Members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity also told students that they, along with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, were handing out black ribbons last week and were organizing a blood drive. M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), another student organization, also made plans to hold an altar dedication on Wednesday, Sept. 19, in remembrance of the attack victims and their families. David Blasband, director of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), also addressed the students and told them that CAPS was there to support students. CAPS is located at the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center 102 and individuals may call (760) 750-4910 for more information about their services. Individuals who attended the forum expressed their feelings not only with words, but also with music. "For me, dealing is processed with music," said Mtafiti Imara, a visual and performing arts professor. "I want to share my feelings in that context." He played a jazz improvisation of "Amazing Grace" on a soprano saxophone for the audience. Other faculty members also spoke, including Vivienne Bennett, chairperson for the Liberal Studies Department. "Our government has, for years, perpetrated crimes against humanity," she said, giving examples of the U.S.'s past relationships with Vietnam and Chile. "But out of adverse circumstances comes opportunity." During the hour-long forum, students argued for and against retaliation by the U.S. "I think we need to react swiftly, quickly, and precisely. I choose to say that as an American," said student Susannah Christopher, who is also a veteran. "I have the right to be angry. We need to stand up for what's right. I don't advocate hatred or violence, but I don't advocate the mass murder of my fellow Americans. We need to do something. We need to act swiftly" Rachel Dena disagreed, "To strike now, swiftly, with anger, is foolish. But if you're going to retaliate, you'd better get the right people." Penny Lanese, a computer science major, said, "The one emotion I didn't have was anger, Credit Card Marketing Changes »Article cont from pg 1 deal of money with it. Gonzalez said that he made his son pay it off and that he learned his lesson. "What happens when a student doesn't learn the lesson?" Gonzalez questioned. Gonzalez said that CSUSM will be looking at the new law and making the decision on what requirements they will consider. "CSUSM will limit stations, and we will let (marketers) know clearly that they can't use instru- ments to get students t o fill out applications," said Gonzalez. The most important part will be to let students know about credit cards and debt education, according t o Gonzalez. "It's the perfect example of caveat emptor, buyer beware," said Gonzalez. Assembly member Paul Koretz, a Democrat from West Hollywood, wrote AB 521. Another bill was presented last year but was vetoed. Koretz said he believed in it and rewrote the bill because, "marketers are preying on college students," according to Sandra DeBourelando, Senior Director for Koretz. DeBourelando said she feels that the marketing approaches are "disingenuous [because theyj try and get students who don't have a job and wouldn't qualify in the real world." Current law regulates credit card marketing practices, but not specifically with college students. because violence begets violence. Once we start hating each other, we're going to start hurting our brother, our friends." Lanese also spoke about the recent bombings in Afghanistan: "There are women there, children there, people who are just as innocent as we are," said Lanese. "If we bomb them, then we're just as bad as the terrorists ... a person is a person, no matter how small." Individuals also spoke, about embracing diversity. One student, who identified herself as a Palestinian-American student, said, "I feel that I'm being targeted now. People there (Palestine) are being killed everyday and people here are getting killed everyday," she said. "It (Palestine) shouldn't be taken back through anger, though, it should be through talking to one another." Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students, also addressed the students, "I am an advocate of someone that thinks we're inherently connected. Oppression is intermittently interwoven, intercon- nected," he said. "What happens to me will happen to you. We need to think in ways that will promote peace and safety. I think about when that's going to happen again in our country, or when it will happen somewhere else . .. will we have the same reaction then?" Rachel Leigh reflected on the words spoken by the other students and faculty. "Amidst all this anger and hatred, we have the opportunity," she said. "I see this image of a candle, and how a single flame can light all that darkness. We have the opportunity to make that darkness shine. We have the opportunity" After the public finished speaking, Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs, addressed the crowd. "This is the first time that it's felt like a (campus) community," said Martinez. "We hear different voices, opinions, but there's also that same sadness, shock and fear ... and as you peers have articulately said, we need to be here for each other ... find out what we can do with these intense emotions " National Day of M ourning >>Article cont. from pg 1 In Berlin, more than 2000,0000 people gathered at the Brandenburg Gate in remembrance of those that lost their lives. Although the moment of silence at Cal State San Marcos was observed on a smaller scale, with only about 100 people, some students said they felt that it was a special moment. "The bells started ringing, and more people started joining in the circle," said Melanie Addington, a senior and editor for The Pride. "Everyone stood silently and there was just the wind and t he bells. Many people bowed their heads, some people closed their eyes, and some stood silently looking out. It was staff, faculty, and students together." Afterfiveminutes of silence, Francine Martinez, Vice. President of Student Affairs, asked a student to help her sing "America the Beautiful." "A few students began singing, and then more people began singing with broken voices. It was solemn. Then the song ended, and everyone broke apart and walked back to their buildings," said Addington. "I heard one student say, 'That was amazing, seeing everyone coming together like that.'" 2 MILLION INVESTORS. 80 YEARS' EXPERIENCE. 1 WEIRD NAME.

Through the gruesome test of disaster the human spirit soars to new heights. Witness the selfless acts of rescue workers in New York, the overwhelming benevolence of both private and corporate donors, even the terminally litigious Congress bonding together in agreement to double the sum requested by President Bush for aid. Around the country, even around the globe, people are becoming the support system that will overcome the devastating effects of this disaster. Out of the unimaginable chaos of the recent disasters comes tremendous opportunity to create meaningful change in our country and in our world. This time before us is criti- cal and our response to these events will have consequences far beyond what we can envision f rom where we now stand. If, as President Bush suggests, we are committed to eradicating the horrors of terrorism on a global scale, then we must commit to a response that transcends the tenets of that terrorism. Hate and violence. have spawned the carnage visited upon us, yet it is the solidarity, courage, and generosity of the American public that renders such hate and violence impotent. To avenge these crimes with the same intent that conceived them will only ensure that terrorism will continue in the world. Annihilating one leader or even one segment of a terrorist movement will not in itself end terror; surely history has shown us that. Recent history alone pro_ vides ample evidence of new reincarnations of evil: Stalin, Hitler, Khaddaffi, Hussein and now bin Laden. If we are truly committed to ridding the world of terrorism, we would do well to investigate, ity and justice here and abroad. In continuing to treat perpetrators of terrorism as the disease itself, rather than symptoms of the disease, we will continue to underestimate the power it wields. Have we not repeated that mistake enough already? The temptation to take an eye for an eye as a swift act of vengeance, seemingly justified now, may in the long run leave us all blind. So though we may be temporarily blinded by grief, let us not be blinded by hate. We need each other now more than anything. We need to connect with each other, regardless of race, religion or any other variable. We must cultivate solidarity of the most essential variety: we are all human beings sharing an increasingly shrinking planet. We can be sure that the consequences of global war will be as indiscriminate in their choice of victims as the terrorists were. Let the courage, compassion, and solidarity we have shown thus far define our future. Letter to the Editor Egg Donation Researched In the Sept. 11 issue of The Pride, a letter to the editor by a CSUSM student expressed her concern about an advertisement in the classifieds about the need for egg donors. The ad states "Egg Donors Needed" $4000.00 compensation; Ages 19-30. This prompted me to do a little research on the matter to help educate our readers on this subject.

Work with them in making our [world] safe and happy." �T hePride The View from Here 5 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001. I walked into my classroom this morning, and found a room full of scared, worried young women. Classes have only barely started for this semester, so my students didn't know me that well yet. As soon as I came in, they asked, "Are you from America?" When I said yes, they asked if I had friends or family in Washington or New York. I told them I had friends in Washington, but they were all right. I said I'd been awake until 3 a.m., to make sure everyone was safe. And then we just sat and talked. Forget the lesson plans, and getting into the meat of the semester. Today wasn't a day for teaching. The quiz, the editing and the research guidelines just didn't matter today. Being a teacher, part of my job is to help my students make sense of the world. Since my students are university age, at that stage where one minute they are mature young adults and the next minute children, I'm here to help guide them as they sort out their worlds for themselves - along with teaching the subject matter in my class description, of course. How can I help them make sense of this when I can't make sense of it myself? I'm in just as much shock as they are. I want someone t o say it's all right, just like they do. Nothing in this is straightforward. All the emotions are complex. Relief that my own family and friends are safe, combined with worry for those whose aren't, or remain unknown. The most striking emotional cocktail of this for me i s the reassurance and heartbreak at how desperately my students want this not to have been done by Arabs. You see, I teach in the Middle East. All those young women who are my students are Arabs. Muslims. I've seen and heard of people in the U.S. saying, "Damn Arabs" or "Damn Muslims" or "Damn Middle Easterners." That, and worse. To some of you, Arabs may be nameless and faceless, counted as suspicious or dangerous. Easy to blame. To me, Arabs are my students and their families. Arabs are as diverse a group as any other. Hating them all would be like hating all Europeans for the atrocities in Kosovo or Serbia. Let me make them less faceless for you. My students are young women. Like university students anywhere, they're worried about grades and exams, about course requirements and majors, and, of course, about juggling their classwork with their social lives. They have dreams and plans, about their careers, about marriage and family, about places they'd like to travel to. They may dress differently than a group of women the same age in the U.S., but underneath the shayla and abaya, they're not very different at all. Today, they're in shock. They're worried about war. They're concerned about their relatives who are in the States. They remember the Gulf War, and they're afraid this will be so much worse. Our university is near an airport. Normally,. they just ignore the planes as they take off and land. Either they pause until the sound has died down, or try to talk over it. Today, they flinched. I've never seen the planes make them nervous before. They're horrified by the attacks on the United States. While they are angry that the U.S. appears to support Israel, they cannot accept what has happened. Letters My students do not celebrate una, iiui uu they take it lightly. They say it is harram - forbidden by religion. The deaths of so many innocents can never be acceptable. Not for any reason. My students are still learning English: They had to struggle, sometimes, to express themselves. They know how to talk about classes and majors. They know the vocabulary for the lives of university students. They don't have the words for the deaths of innocents. I find it tragic. I can no more make sense of this for you, or for myself, than I could for my students. All I can do is pray for the victims, and pray for Peace. Chris Tremlett English Language Center College of Arts and Sciences Zayed University Dubai, UAE Open Heart and Mind In light of the horrible events that been taking place recently, we would like to have one minute of your time. The members of the Sikh community have been getting some strange looks over the past couple of days by people who might not be aware of what their turbans and beards represent. First of all, we belong to the peace loving Sikh religion, which originates in India. We have nothing to do with the Islamic religion or Muslims who live in the Middle East, though we do not look down upon any religion and consider all humanity equal. As far as we know, Muslims in the United States do not even wear turbans. It is not correct to think of a turban wearing Sikh to be a Muslim. Secondly, we encourage all of you to keep an open mind and heart during these troubling times, especially towards American Muslims. Not only are American Muslims suffering as fellow Americans, but they are also becoming the scapegoat in crimes that they 'obviously did not commit, let alone condone. It is especially important for us, as fellow Americans, to not let these, tragic events trigger hatred and racism towards other Americans. The goal of terrorism is to tear a nation apart. Don't let them win. Irrespective of our backgrounds, let us not forget our common homeland and unite as true American patriots during these difficult times. Tuesday, September 18,2001 7 aianu i i u w aiuuciuS could be expected to go to class as if our entire lives have not been irreversibly altered. However, barring the suspension of classes for another day or two, I think it was inappropriate to continue Rush Week activities. As a person affected both as a citizen of this country, and as a relative of a Pentagon worker, I cannot begin to express my utter horror at being forced to listen to music blaring as I walked to classes. To watch people cavorting around as if everything were normal is ridiculous. Really, do you think you were presenting yourselves as the kind of organization people would want to join? If you think the answer is a resounding "yes," think again. While I do not expect everyone on campus to share in my feelings, you should at the very least show some respect for the dead and wounded. I understand the sentiment that terrorists cannot be allowed to halt our daily lives; however, we as a country must be allowed to mourn this great tragedy. You should be ashamed of yourselves and of the image you portrayed today. You are representatives not only of your fraternity, but also of the campus. I am ashamed to call you classmates. I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the friends and family of those who were injured or lost their lives in Tuesday's acts of war. I would also like to express my extreme disgust at those members of one of the fraternities who were back out Wednesday trying to encourage students to rush. While I understand that it is Rush Week, I am disgusted at the lack of common decency that these people displayed. I was actually shocked that school was back in session because I do not under- Brian Kent Cornell Alumni '95 Prayer for O ur Grief Dear Heavenly Father, We are moved by the alarming news and crisis that our country is facing.

Tired American not Willing to Hate For the students, whose minds have historically been open, and whose voices we've historically listened to. I am a tired American today. Tired of hearing 'inescapable conclusions' and that we must 'exact retribution.' Tired of hearing how we can 'emerge triumphant' by striking back in further acts of terrible violence. Tired of the anger in which we wallow, where clear thought might buoy us up. Tired of our unwillingness to understand the 'why' behind such tragedies as Tuesday's events. How far are we willing to go in the misguided path of revenge? How many more times must we submit to hate, and thereby perpetuate violence that does not coincidentally grow worse?\ God Bless America. The only inescapable conclusion after Saanand Singh yesterday's historic tragedy is that many CSUSM Student people will have died in vain if we respond to this injustice with violence. We cannot and must not. To do so would be to continue playing a game that we can never and will never win. To demonstrate To C ampus C ommunity that we are no better than the perpetrators of this horrific event,-except that we are capable of far greater, more calculated swathes of destruction. We cannot guarantee our safety until we finally understand why others would lash out in this way, and help provide them an alternative to doing so in the future. If we must punish, then we must not do so with violence or without understanding. I am a tired American today, yet I will be damned before I spend my remaining energy standing 'united' in the solidarity of further violence. I love this country, but I do not love it enough that I am willing to hate for it.

While we at Cal State San Marcos are far away from what occurred, we still feel not only the pain but also the sense of shock and violation that has taken place. As a University community, we need to take the time not only to reflect on those who have lost their lives and those who continue to suffer, but also on what is our proper role and how we should respond to these horrendous actions. It is my hope that we will resolve to continue to live as a community governed by law with a clear sense of justice and equality, and that we not generalize the actions of a few to the many. We must be thoughtful and prudent, and while the history of our country will change forever, we must continue to live and operate as the great nation we have always been. It is up to each one of us to reflect on what these tragic events mean to us individually and how we will cope with them. As a community, the University will make available opportunities for discussion and reflection. It is also my hope that the faculty and staff will take the time to interact with students to discuss and attempt to resolve the meaning of the events and our place individually, and collectively, as we attempt to work through the current crisis and into the future. Americans must Put aside Their Differences By DUSTIN NAYLOR Pride Staff Writer On Sept 11,2001,1 realized the ills of the world have fallen on my American family. This is the day terrorists attacked the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon, and two other targets destined for devastation. A slap in the face is what I would like to call it. A total disregard for human life is what others say. I would hope that I could call this a wake-up call for the United States, but this disease that has plagued my 24-year history on this planet will not seem to go away, arid it is getting worse. T hroughout the 80s I remember learning about terrorism. Where else could I learn about terrorists but in the news? The two decades of coverage of car bombs, suicide missions and Embassy disasters gave me insight into the minds of people who really don't like us at all. Our national media eats this news up and regurgitates it to the American public as to make sense of it all, explaining failed foreign policy, attempting to sway the American public into believing We are safe from these monsters, all the while feeding us images we don't want to look at, but all the while the television remains on. Through out households, restaurants, bars and department stores, we, as Americans, are feeling the painful reality of our freedom. My mind races on of what to think of this whole situation. And as the television bombards my head with the images, the angles, the rubble, the people, I wonder what will , happen. Are we going to war? Are we as vulnerable as the incident shows? A mi ever going to ride or feel safe in an airplane again? The list goes on and on. Thousands upon thousands of questions will be asked, with few or no answers. But we, as Americans, must unite. This wasn't an attack on the president, a religious group or certain race, it was an attack on our personal liberty. The individual freedom we as Americans all share, cherish and absorb into our way of life. Americans must come together, put aside their differences and anguishes to help support the families of those who lost their lives, to help answer the questions so many of us are faced with, and to protect our way of living in the United States. "We, as Americans, are feeling the painful reality of our freedom" Opinion — — — — A N ation u nder A ttack By ZACHARY A. PUGH For The Pride As a new day began on Tuesday, Sept. 11, the citizens of this nation were not prepared for what was to be the most horrendous and malicious series of terrorist attacks in the history of Amer- ica. Never has there been a terrorist attack of this magnitude on American soil. This day will be another "Day of Infamy" that will haunt America and the world. We will live with these macabre pictures of human suffering and anguish until the end of time. We, as Citizens of this nation, hope that the swift hand of justice will prevail and that the devils that have scarred our . minds and destroyed many precious lives will be brought to justice. Jewish Voice f or Peace G roup S peak O ut A Jewish Voice for Peace is shocked and outraged by the events that have taken place in the United States this week. As Jews, as Americans, and as peace activists we condemn, in the strongest possible terms, these murderous acts and hope that those, who carried out these vicious attacks on innocent people are brought to justice. We share in the collective sense of grief and mourning, and offer the deepest sympathy for all those affected, seme of whom are surely among us. Our thoughts and our prayers are with the victims, their families, and their loved ones. . At this point, people are rightly struggling to comprehend these events, and to understand how such a tragedy could occur. Under these circumstances, it is essential to be both thoughtful and just in our reactions. Terrorist attacks occurring on American soil often arouse anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment. It is simply not tolerable that an entire ethnic group, nation, or religion be blamed for actions carried out by individuals. As Jews we understand the scapegoating Teaction only too well because it has been done to our people in the .past, and it is not acceptable to us that i t be done to any other group/The individuals responsible, but only those responsible, should and must be brought swiftly and decisively to justice. We urge our government not to compound this tragedy by causing the deaths of more innocent people in its pursuit of those responsible. We call on our fellow citizens not to allow our righteous rage over this horrific act to lead u s'into collective blame and acts of ethnic or religious hatred. A Jewish Voice for Peace was born of the conviction that violence begets violence. It is the mission of our organization/ and the passion of many of its members, to support and work towards lasting and equitable peace and justice as the best way to prevent atrocities such as those we have witnessed today. In light of today's events, all of us engaged in the pursuit of peace and justice must redouble our efforts. Adam Gutride Sara Norman Mitchell Plitnick Lincoln Shlensky Alistair Welch man of A Jewish Voice for Peace Open Your Eyes, not Your Mouth Editors' Note: The Pride changed the word "article" to "opinion piece " to clarify. "Students Respond Differently To Tragedy" was an opinion piece written by section editors of The Pride and is in no way legally slanderous, but merely two students' opinions. The same with this editorial and any and all other pieces that appear on the "Opinion" page. By JARED HINES Frater of Tau Kappa Epsilon In response to a slandering opinion piece written in The Pride's latest special edition, I would like to supply The Pride editors with the truthful information needed to write their latest erroneous article: "Students Respond Differently to Tragedy." The members of both fraternities on campus, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, were shocked and disappointed with the comments made in one of The Pride's articles following the tragedies that occurred in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. The members of these fraternal organizations were portrayed as self- centeredegotist concerned only with how loud they could play their "vulgar" music in a display of macho competition. This is, of course, completely false and an ignorant opinion from two people who obviously did not take the time to observe the true events that transpired on that catastrophic I\iesday. If time would have been taken to better observe the actions of the fraternities, it would have been apparent to the authors of this poorly written opinion to see that both, TKE and SAE, came together to discuss the situation and comfort those in need. As far as our self-centered efforts and "showing o ff" as opposed to the other clubs, I would like to share a few insights. Our music is radio compliant, not "vulgar". The volume was lowered in respect. The flag that was reported in this recent media twist, flying at half-mast by the way, was placed at the TKE booth by one of our officers. Both fraternities respectfully and considerately distributed black ribbons. Within minutes of pinning these badges of American mourning on our chests, hundreds of fellow students came to join in the symbolic expression of our deep pain. Finally, when the campus was closed, the DJ at the TKE booth used the speakers to announce the cancellation of classes. There also remain many key factors that the opinion peice left out. SAE and TKE have joined forces by arranging a Greek blood drive. Another officer has taken steps to raise funds to send over as disaster relief. Within organizations o f our size, it is nearly impossible to have not one person affected by the terrorist attacks. In fact, the members of TKE have family, friends and alumni who either live in New York or work at the Pentagon. We also have members that were placed on call due to their status in the US military. However, like the other cl^bs at CSU San Marcos, we remained on campus, but constantly had somebody inside of Commons 206 to update everyone in our section of the quad on any breaking news. It is a wonder to me why these two authors would even think to print a piece that only furthers bad feelings considering the effect that this disaster has already had on all students. The Pride seems to have a history of attacking the Greek system, w d it is in poor taste t o use these terrorist attacks as another instrument of this vendetta. The motivation of the fraternities was to unite students; Greek and NonGreek, in a casual atmosphere so that all could be consoled and feel free to express their individual opinions. However, out of every opinion I heard, not one student went so far as to slander another student, or for that part a fellow American. I ask all students to keep the victims of these horrific events in their thoughts and prayers, and not use this time to point fingers, but to reflect on how valuable life really is. �wfr DON Visit rr 1 O T T T T 1? o Hi 1 1 -Li Hi w I7AP r Ull SignOnSanDiego.com A A THP JUB powered THAT 1tlAl by the fl H F C TT T V UUriOJN 1 Union-Tribune.

SfgnOllSailDiegOXOm �First Season Game for Mens Soccer By MARTHA SARABIA Pride Staff Writer The men's soccer team had its first game of the season on Mangrum Field on Sunday morning against CSU Long Beach. "The players had been practicing consistently for four weeks now to get ready for this game," said Coach Khalid Al-shafie. Although the team was defeated by CSU Long Beach, 1-5, the coach and soccer players said they believe in their potential and hope to do a good job this season. "We will play hard and play good soccer,99 said soccer captain Joseph Cafiero, a junior majoring in biology. "The strengths of the team are their commitment to playing hard, and it seems that the players enjoy each other," said Al-shafie. He said that he does not see any weaknesses on the team. The players agreed with the coach. "We have good players and there is a lot of potential. I hope we do a good job and we win," said Manuel Maldonado, a sophomore, majoring in computer science. This season the men's soccer team will play against "tough schools," as Al-shafie described them, including UC Santa Editing Services Specialist in Master s Theses and Doctoral Dissertations All Style Manuals and Disciplines Word Processing § Manuscripts § Letters § Proofreading Michel M. Walker Phone/Fax (760) 4 80-6470 kiewamal8@home.com Barbara and Utah State. These schools, as well as Cal State San Marcos, are playing in a league known as the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA). "We are trying to develop a good team and have a good season," said Al-shafie. "We want to represent CSUSM and ASI the best we can." ASI (Associated Students, Inc) sponsors soccer, one of the intramural sports on campus. Right now the team has 16 players. However, Al-shafie said he believes that the team will continue to grow and encourages more students to enroll. "It's fun. At least we have some sports at Cal State San Marcos and I hope that more sport teams will be formed," said Maldonado. The next soccer game is Friday against Pepperdine University at 4 p.m., followed by another game on Saturday at Mangrum Field at 4 p.m. against Utah State, according to Cafiero and Al-shafie. "Of course we hope to win, although it is not going to be easy, we expect to win," said Cafiero, "We also encourage students to come support the team at the games."

The pain that you must be facing is worse than all life. To find out that someone you iQve so much, turns around and kills so many of your children, is very heart breaking. What an evil man to kill so many of your precious gifts. You gave life to us, why would* anyone want to take that life away.... As small and precious or grown up and old as we may be, we are all still your children. You look after us and love us like no other. You give us shelter; warmth, compassion, and you give us forgiveness. Forgiveness for all our sins, forgiveness o four selfness and pride. You take that forgiveness with all the light you have and make it into something we can't see ourselves. So you give us teachers, all kinds to help us along of our path of enlightenment. You mold us, you train us for something unexpected, something like today, Sept. 11,2001. No one expected it, no one was prepared, and no one was ready to die. Please help those that are in need. Help those that are now floating spirits to find their way back to you. Help those that are in need, to have no more tears as you will wipe out their pain and fear and fill their hearts with happiness again. Help those families who are suffering dearly, Help them pray for the lost ones. Help the terrorist seek forgiveness for those lives that he took, so his heart can be whole. Help him find the way of God, which is almighty and strong, .with love instead of hate. Help him pray for his brothers and sisters. Let him cry out, with regret and say that he is sorry! Let him cry out to you and say, I want to be with you instead of against you! It's a different kind of beauty but life goes on. We learn from our mistakes that unfortunately harm others. God, please continue to be our teacher and be there for us, as we are weak. You are strong, you are loving, and most of all you are forgiving!

Student Profile: Lending a Hand in El Salvador and Home By VICTORIA B. SEGALL Pride Editor Thanks to the donations from students, clubs, and staff at Cal State San Marcos, Anna Fleming, a 21-year-old junior, brought .sfniles to the tiny faces of hundreds of school children in El Salvador this past summer. With more than 250 bags of school supplies, Fleming flew to Santa Tecla, a suburb of San Salvador that was hit by a 7.6 earthquake Jan. 13,2001. Several hundred aftershocks caused a major landslide in Santa Tecla. More than 1,159 people died from the quakes, 8,122 were injured, 185,338 homes were damaged, and 149,528 were homes destroyed, according to El Salvador's National Emergency Committee (COEN). "The landslides took out both the homes and the people in them," said Fleming, a liberal studies major. "There's now a camp for the people who are homeless." The bags Fleming brought Anna Fleming in Santa Tecla, El Salvador last summer. She took school supplies to the children after the earthquakes devastated the community. (Courtesy Photo/Anna Fleming) from the U.S. were filled with supplies donated by the CSUSM community and the service organization, Kiwanis. Fleming personally handed out individual bags to the school children in the camps at Santa Tecla, which are tents that house temporary medical clinics and school for the residents of the town. The camp in Santa Tecla houses more than 400 families. "There are problems everywhere, in your backyard, internationally," said Fleming. "To open your eyes to that makes you realize that there are needs all over that need to be m et" Such community (or international)-service work is not new to Fleming, who is president of the university's Circle K International Club, a community-service based club that primarily works with children. This year the club will hold their annual Angel Tree Drive, a toy drive for children during the winter holiday. "Joining this club was an opportunity for me to meet people," said Fleming. "It wasn't specific like a lot of other groups are. It's people from other cultures and majors." In addition to her club leader position, Fleming also works as a support staff person for the faculty-mentoring program. When asked how she handles the juggle of school, work, and other activities, Fleming said, "It is hard, this time of the year. We're busy starting out with new classes, jobs, trying to recruit for Circle K, or other clubs, but you can choose to limit how involved you are. You can still be in a club or work, and not commit too many hours. But I definitely encourage others to get involved in student life." Fleming also talked about the support for clubs on campus. "I could see more support for clubs," she said. "There seems to be a good amount of support for fraternities, but there could be more outreach." Although Fleming said she is not sure what she will do after she graduates, she said she has an idea of what she wants to do at the moment, "If I can find so many things to get involved with at school, it shouldn't be hard for me to figure out what I can do with the rest of my life."
