Jazz explained foryou Cal State San Marcos suffersfirst serious crime By Roman S . Koenig Editor-in-Chief SORSf iPOEMBlllilIf It is the end of an era at Cal State San Marcos. After nearly seven years in existence, the university has experienced itsfirstserious on-campus crime, an assault and robbery of a female student on the evening of Oct 30 in the upper faculty parking lot While the event is a tragedy in itself for a university with the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, the real tragedy might be that the student did not use one of the nearby emergency phones placed in the parking lot "The calls that I've gotten from faculty and students that get my attention are (the ones) that say they didn't know what the emergency phones w eresaid Public Affairs Director Norma Yuskos. The student, who has chosen to remain anonymous, opted not to use the emergency phone and did not report the crime until four hours after the assault, according to Alicia Smith, lieutenant assistant director for Public Safety. "If she would have (used the phone) we had an officer in the next parking lot below (who) would have been there in a minute," Smith said. Yuskos added that campus officials want to quell rumors that the student had been sexually assaulted. This is not she case, she said. For Smith, the focus now shifts to preventing such crimes in the future. Public Safety has handed out flyers to evening students and staff asking for any information about the Oct 30 assault, she explained. Public Safety also wants to get the word out about safety seminars and programs available to students.

The Oaxacan secretary of tourism visited the campus for the exhibit's opening reception on Nov. 3. The Oaxacan altar/which is no longer on display, included fresh foods and flowers as well as pictures of the deceased including recently deceased Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia and Eric Prado, a CSUSM library assistant who died Oct. 13. Traditional masks and artwork were created by North County residents Victor Hugo and Torres Morales as part of the altar display also. "The Oaxacan Day of the Dead has particularly beautiful deeply rooted tradition," said Arts & Lectures director Bonnie Biggs. "They sent artisans to build the traditional altar." Also included in the exhibit are traditional Oaxacan art objects and two models representing a marketplace in Tlacoluna and the region between Monte Alban and Mitla, an area of major archeological importance. The picture exhibit, created by Tonny Zwollo, was sponsored by Groupo Genesis, Cal State San Marcos Arts & Lectures, the Latino Association of Faculty and Staff at CSUSM, SER/Jobs for Progress and the Oaxaca Secretary of Tourism. The Nov. 3 reception also marked the opening of "100 Portraits," a photo exhibit honoring the accomplishments of San Diego Latinos. "Once upon a Paradise" will be on display until Nov. 29.

Bashein, assistant professor in the College of Business Administration at Cal State San Marcos, has been awarded a prestigious grant from the Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF). Bashein's project, "Meeting the Controls Challenges of New MormationTechnologies," will analyze how corporations maximize the benefits of new information technologies without increasing the control risks. Her in-depth case studies of six major corporations will address several key qiiestions: How does the use of new information technologies change the nature of internal control? What are the best internal control practices? What are the most successful implementation strategies? Assisting Bashein on the project will be Jane B. Finley of Belmont University and M.

The Pride editorial staff has no problem with a campus group wanting to express pride in itself, but chalking the group's letters all over the parking lots like an animal that marks its territory is unacceptable.

There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about huge pink and green letters plastered on the pavement for all to see, welcoming students and visitors to this campus. In order to be recognized, student organizations must endeavor to make a name for themselves, not force that name on others where one has no choice but to see i t CSUSM officials should not have allowed Tau Kappa Epsilon to chalk its name on the pavement The Pride editorial staff asks campus officials to rethink the policy. This young university has a reputation and image to uphold, a reputation now recently tainted by its first serious assault crime. Graffiti-like slogans drawn on pavement do not help, either. Freedom of speech is not of issue here. The choice of how that speech is made is what is important. The Pride believes TKE President Robert Brack when he stated in his letter to the editor Nov. 1 that his organization did not mean to offend anyone. Indeed, spirit and confidence are nothing to take offense a t The ways in which that spirit and confidence are shown is another matter. TKE made a bad judgement call by deciding to chalk the campus parking lots. CSUSM officials made a bad judgement call by having a policy allowing student groups to do such a thing in thefirstplace.

Koenig BUSINESS MANAGER Joyce Kolb NEWS EDITOR Tony Barton ON-LINE EDITOR TyCarss FEATURE EDITOR John Loch ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Jill Ballard, TECH EDITOR ToddFederman PHOTO EDITOR David Taylor Until very recently, most mainstream American voters thoughtthey had a candidate to fit their overall criteria: someone who was fiscally conservative, socially moderate, a leader who displayed maturity and was above the partisan bickering that is so commonplace in Washington D.C. Joe Six-Pack thought he had his man with Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefsof Staffwho worked under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and, for a short while, Bill Clinton. Powell would have offered plenty to a Republican ticket, especially by what he lacked: the age and political career of Bob Dole, the pessimism of Pat Buchanan and the brashnessofBob Dornan. So what happened to "Powell for President," the candidacy that never was, and whatdoesthismeanforthe 1996presidential elections? It had seemed obvious to so many of us that Colin Powell would run for president, and very likely be elected next year. His memoirs have been selling like hotcakes and his book signing tour has been a success. There is the argument that fringe Republicans drove Powellfromrunning as a Republican. Staunch conservatives were afraid that he might squelch the Republican revolution which started last November when, for thefirsttime in 40 years, the GOP won both branches of Congress. James CarviHe, who ran Clinton's successful campaign in 1992, saidflatiythata(T)his completes the take-over of the Republican Party by the 'radical r ight'" With this statement, Carville ignores three major points. First of all, Powell himself is a Republican (he identified himself as such at his press conference).

GET THE VOTE OUT YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE �World-class jazz musicians perform at GSUSM By JHI Ballard Entertainment Editor The jazzduo of Holly Hoffman, flute, and Mike Wofford, piano, played Nov. 7 in ACD-102 at Cal State San Marcos. It was thefifthpresentation of the CSUSM fall Arts and Lectures Series. Both musicians are Concord recording artists. They started the show off with a blues piece. Not only did they perfom jazz, but they also talked to the audience in between songs explaining the origins of jazz and the problems the general public has listening to the music genre. Wofford played the James Brown number "I Feel Good" to illustrate the use of blues in early rock 'n roll. Hoffman explained that a way jazz originated was by, "embellishment of the melodies. Very simple melodies can be used and then you can take it through a bunch of tempo changes, (like) grooves changes, the drummer could say do something different to add a different beat to i t So really embellishment of t he melody is one of the ways that early jazz started in addition to the blues which actually came out of slavery and before." Hoffman played "Amazing Grace" as an example of embel- David Taylor/Staff Photos Holly Hoffman, above playing the flute, and Mike Wofford, on piano below, performed and explained jazz music to an audience of students, faculty and staff Nov. 7. lishing the melodies. "That's really a big part of jazz also, i fs taking a melody and working from i t I fs filling in the bars in between and changing the tempos." Wofford explained why the once-popular jazz became unpopular. "The improvising is based on the chordal changes and the harmonic structure and that starts getting a little more complicated and I think that's when jazz left the general public to a large extent," Hoffman said, adding that jazz was once considered revolu- tionary just as was rock 'n roll and current alternative music. Hoffman and Wofford also played "Sweet Georgia Brown," the theme song of the Harlem Globe Trotters, to illustrate how jazzevolved in the 1930s. Wofford played some stride piano in that number to illustrate how ragtime evolved into jazz music. He also played another stride piano piece to show how jazz is more adventurous than pop music, but "as soon as the music becomes more adventurous you begin to shrink your listening audience." They also discussed jazz solos because, as brought up by a student in Gunner Biggs's Music 427 class, some people reject jazz because it sounds too "self indulgent" 'We're trying to show you instead of this all sounding like a bunch of notes when we solo, we're trying to show you that there is a format that we use so that there is a melody underneath all that, there is a groove underneath all that," Hoffman explained. "So there are some elements here that you can relate to as a listener." The theme song to the Flintstones was then played to further illustrate improvisation over the melody. Jazz audience etiquette was also brought up. Hoffman feels that applause after solos is well deserved because "we're playing See JAZZ, page 8 �Album review New Eric Mathews album monotonous By Jdl Ballard Entertainment Editor Plus tax they're usually just so ambiguous that I find them inaccessible.

She has 24 years of law enforcement experience with such police departments as Ingelwood and Rialto, Smith added. "From a positive aspect, to me it's a learning experience," she continued. "Hopefully, this won't happen again, and we are a community. We have to police our own community, and that means staff, faculty and students." Public Safety offers escort services for students and Smith is in the process of developing a whistle program, where students can purchase whistles and use them if they are in trouble. "This campus at this particular time is small enough to where people would still hear (the whistle)," she said. Emergency phones are located in all parking lots on campus, and can be found by looking for the blue siren light on top each phone location. Even if the phone is off the hook, a Public Safety officer will check the situation out, Smith said. Information about seminars and other Public Safety programs can be obtained by calling their dispatch line, 750-3111. Even with the recent assault, Cal State San Marcos still has the lowest crime rate in the CSU system, Smith concluded. "It's still the case now and we intend to keep it that way," she said. Powell Continued from page 4 being a Democrat in disguise. Some of these Republicans, if elected, would make very good presidents. But on the whole, theylackwhatColinPowellwould have brought to the party and to America: unity. While I am conservative, a more liberalfriendof mine and I agreed we could both support a ticket with Colin Powell and, say, Jack Kemp. While Kemp is conservative on most issues, he has taken heat from fellow Republicans for opposing last year's Proposition 187, and supporting Affirmative Action. Given this, the potential of him being on a national Republican ticket is very slight Still, it would have been nice. It is very likely that Powell cut a deal with one or more Republicans to bow out. While he may still be a candidate for vice president, or even secretary of state, his aura has already been diminished. One thing is certain: many unsold copies of "My American Journey" will now be collecting dust at Barnes & Noble.

Released on Feb. 20, the study examined changes in the amount and type of work being conducted by faculty. Compared to a similar study conducted in 1990, the amount of time spent teaching and stu­ dent advising has not increased, but the amount pf time* spent on activities outside the class­ room has added approximately two hours per week to faculty workload. As quoted in the North County Times, George Diehr, California Faculty Association (CFA) chapter president and CSUSM College of Business Administration faculty, said the findings may be a way for fac­ ulty to receive more time off for research and that CSUSM now what more research-oriented fac­ ulty.” The study attributed the increase in scholarly activities' and research to the expansion of the faculty’s knowledge base and the addition of younger faculty members. In addition, the CSU now has a larger, more complex student body, new technology, and a broader social spectrum, which Contributes to more diverse and challenging work for fac­ ulty. “CSU faculty members are hard-working, committed to their students, engaged in a wide range of scholarly and creative activ­ ities, and [they are] energetic in reaching into their communi­ ties,” said David Spence, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer, in a uni­ versity press release. The study, conducted in 2001, included 2,547 faculty members at 22 CSU campuses. Tenuffed two-thirds of the contributing participants. In addition to this study, Ana­ lytic Studies designed a survey to find out how students rate their college experience. Find­ ings indicated that professors at CSUSM spend a lower than , average amount of time inter­ acting with students outside the classroom. The disproportionate amount of time was attributed to the fact that CSUSM is a com­ muter campus, students don’t stick around to talk, and they go to work. The CSU is now in the pro­ cess of conducting a similar survey of tenured and tenuretrack faculty at other universities around the nation that are com­ parable to the CSU. The results will be available in the fall and will show similarities and differ­ ences between CSU faculty and national faculty. R e m e m b e r in g D r. L in loved his daughters very much.

ASI President Jocelyn Brown I am a biology major and will be graduating in Spring 2003. During my four years at Cal State San Marcos, I have been actively involved in represent­ ing the student voice, advocating for student’s rights and improv­ ing and enriching campus life. I have three years experience in ASI and currently serve as your ASI vice president of External Affairs. At this last year I initiated, coordinated and participated in many ASI events and programs. In my capacity as vice president of External Affairs, I am one of two representatives from our campus that sits on the California State Student Association(CSSA), which is a statewide student asso­ ciation that represents the voice of 380,000 CSU students to the board of trustees. I also chair the ASI External Affairs Committee, which siphons information from the statewide level down to the students at our campus, includ­ ing legislation, voter registration, CSU policies, and campus pride initiatives. Aside from my role as vice president, I am also the vice chair for the University Stu­ dent Union Advisory Board and an active member in the Envi­ ronmental Club. From my involvement, I have gained a vast knowledge of ASI and the university at large. I believe that this gives me the ability to transition easily into the role of president, leaving more time to hear, represent and seek the student voice.

Students and faculty alike were left without electricity from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. CSUSM student Jessica Smith said, “I had to take two of my exams in the dark. All of the students gathered by the win­ dows or sat under the emergency hallway lights to take the test. Out of all the buildings Univer­ sity Hall was the worst because there are hardly any windows.” “It was total chaos, I had to let my class go and just after the students left the power came back on,” said Tom Menden­ hall, a teacher’s assistant in the Literature and Writing Studies Department. According to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), “The outage prevented a potential, uncontrollable blackout in the San Diego area. The California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) ordered SDG&E to drop 300 MW of power imme­ diately. The resulting outage affected 101 circuits at 11 sub­ stations that serve portions of the following communities: Blos­ som Valley, Bonita, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, City Heights, El Cajon, Escondido, Fletcher Hills, Highland Valley, La Mesa, Lake­ side, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Mission Valley, down­ town San Diego, National City, North Park, Paradise Hills, Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber­ nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos and Sweet­ water.” Even though CSUSM has a generator it only provides light to some elevators and emergency halls.

Hamilton changed his plea in November to guilty while at the same time promising to find Vasseur’s body. No reason was given for Hamilton’s attempt to change his plea, as stated in the North County Times. “We can’t do much without him telling us the truth,” Hendren said. The suspicion fell to Hamil­ ton early due to his never return­ ing to work after Sept. 22, fleeing from police five days after Vas­ seur’s disappearance and a previ­ ous incident in which Hamilton blocked Vasseur from leaving his home until she hit him. At the preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Hamilton said he killed Vasseur by acci­ dent during a fight with her and dumped her body in the desert, according to the North County Times. Prosecutors said Hamilton killed Vasseur when she tried to break off an affair with him, as reported previously. According to court papers, Hamilton had a history of vio­ lence toward women. A Wild Animal Park co-worker alleged that Hamilton sexually harassed her while in a primate exhibit in 1985. Hamilton also allegedly punched another woman with a closed fist and gave her a black eye. Vasseur’ husband, Charles, ^ said to the North County Times that he now has little hope his wife’s remains will ever be found. “I usually go out every once in awhile and look,” said Charles Vasseur last November. Financial Aid Director »>Article cont. from pg. 1. The advice Rizvi gives to students is to research schol­ arships and their requirements, understand deadlines and state requirements, and notify the office of any changes. According to Rizvi, the financial aid office has more reg­ ulations than the bank industry. He said, “While we give the money or checks to students, there are a lot of things going on in the back room. We have to keep in compliance with state standards.” All the CSU system finan­ cial aid offices would eventu­ ally move to a new system, as instructed by the chancellor, but Rizvi’s current concentration is on utilizing all the capabilities of the current system. Rizvi has a programming diploma and a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from National University in San Diego. He learned about the opening at financial md through his membership in California Association of Financial Aid Administrators (CASFA), which provides a list of job postings. Rizvi said he was not looking for a job, but he saw the open­ ing and became interested. He researched the position and became increasingly interested in the position when he was exposed to the technology and student-friendly service offered by the office. Rizvi replaced Paul Phillips, the former director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. Phil­ lips left the position last Decem­ ber, which he had held since the establishment of CSUSM in 1989. Before coming to CSUSM, Rizvi worked for USA Funds, the biggest national student loan company. He held the position of national director for two years, which ran a program with about a $5 million budget. Rizvi said that he was chosen out of 120 candidates and conducted 39 focus groups to help parents of college students deal with loan debts and to help students them­ selves deal with college debt. �C an d id ates’ Statem ents for A SI’s Spring 2002 E lectio n s »A rticle cont. from pg. 2 and that with a great ASI team, we could take ASI and this campus to new, great places!

If I am elected ASI president, I will do my best to bring unity to our very diverse campus. It is my belief and the belief of others at Cal State San Marcos that we have very little student campus life at our univer­ sity. I believe that I can unite our campus and give the students an active and vibrant campus life. I am the chairwoman of the Col­ lege Republicans on our campus and am involved with several other clubs. In working with the College Republicans, I have attained good leadership qual­ ities. I believe the best leader serves the people and that is my goal, to serve the students of Cal State San Marcos to the best of my abilities.

Shannon Barnett “How can I get involved on this campus?” was the first question I asked when I arrived last semester as an incoming freshman. My name is Shannon Barnett, and I am running for undergraduate representative. My major is liberal studies. Since asking my first question about getting involved, I have found a. variety of answers. First semes­ ter, I was in the Emerging Lead­ ers Program. Currently, I am chair of the ASI Programming Committee, an orientation teamlLeader, co-captain of the ASI Women’s Club lacrosse team, and philanthropy chair and assistant rush of Alpha Chi Omega. These activities have enhanced my leadership abilities while keeping me organized and well rounded. On a new campus where involvement is scarce and many students are unaware of what really goes on in ASI, I realize the importance of a great undergraduate representa­ tive. This campus lacks commu­ nity; I plan to take my knowledge and experiences and build upon them to establish goals we need to bring the student body, ASI and the faculty together. I will facilitate student needs by listen­ ing to the concerns and ideas of the entire student body. We need to voice our opinions and have them heard. I urge you to take a stand for your future. Vote for me, Shannon Barnett, for undergrad­ uate representative. Help make this campus a place for you. Jacqueline Campbell I’m a biology major cur­ rently working on my undergrad­ uate degree. I am running for undergraduate representative. As a member of Alpha Xi Delta, I have learned leadership skills, participated in community ser­ vice, as well as campus activities, and I know what it tak§s to repre­ sent a community of students. A representative speaks on behalf of the students he or she represents. I want to add more sports, activ­ ities, and clubs to this campus. I am the voice that will make these things happen, and I will do all in my power to make this campus great and a campus each and every student hopes for.

As a freshman majoring in business administration with an emphasis in high-tech management, I see the potential this college pos­ sesses to transform from a com­ muter school into a place where active college life flourishes. Col­ lege life is not just going to dif­ ferent classes. It is a journey that students choose to embark on, filled with life long lessons and outlets to the “real world.” I want to help expand the pro­ grams and activities already pres­ ent, increase student involvement, voice student opinions and con­ cerns, and bring their ideas out in the open. I believe that I am qualified to be an under­ graduate representative because I posses leadership qualities and have applied them in past experi­ ences. By joining a fraternity on campus, I have learned to interact with other students on a deeper level. Through many leadership conventions and programs, I have learned different types of lead­ ership styles and have developed my own. I feel I am dedicated, responsible, and capable of taking the initiative to accomplish tasks successfully. Finally, I possess the desire to impact other peo­ ple’s lives in a positive manner. Angineen Lynnae Hardin As a recent graduate of the class of2001 from Mount Carmel High School, let me introduce myself. I am Angineen (Angi) L. Hardin and am currently a second semester freshman majoring in psychology. Throughout high school I was heavily involved in several clubs, organizations and sports..I participated in tennis, basketball and track. I was an active member in Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a peer advocate and academic tutor. I held leadership positions in our African American Student Alliance such as historian, vice president and president. I was also honored with “Who’s Who Among American High School Students” award for two consec­ utive years. I have given the same dedication to my college career. I am currently the publicity coor­ dinator for the Pan African Stu­ dent Alliance here on campus and the assistant to the coordi­ nator of Academic Assistance of EOP/ASPIRE, Josephine Jones. I’m very excited about attend­ ing a new university. I believe becoming ASI undergraduate representative will be the perfect opportunity to learn more about CSUSM and give me the oppor­ tunity to be a part of several groundbreaking projects as the expansion and development of this university continues. I am a passionate student who is will­ ing and ready to accept the responsibility of representing my fellow undergrads as we develop CSUSM into our home. College of Arts & Sciences Representative Kristie McMullen I’m running for the represen­ tative of the College of Arts & Sciences from the Education Col­ lege perspective. I am a liberal studies major with a sociology minor. I have attended CSUSM for the past three years. In this time of being a cougar, I have seen many things improve and change for the better. Change and improvement is what I am all about. I have been sitting on the ASI Board of Directors as the under­ graduate representative for the past five months. In this time, I have learned what it is to be a representative of the students. I know that you all want a dedi­ cated individual who is willing to stand up for your wants and needs. For example, the parking permit-zoning situation was pre­ sented to me at a board meeting, and I made sure many of you were able to voice your opinions and thoughts. In doing this we, the student body, shut the pro­ posal down. I want to be able to serve each individual at CSUSM with as much voice as I can. Maria F. Schroeder I am applying for the posi­ tion of the College of Arts and Sciences representative. I want to be your voice, and voice your concerns to the leadership of CSUSM. As a communication major with a Spanish minor, I am more than qualified to accom­ plish this mission. Throughout my three years at Cal Stat San Marcos, I have been active on campus, primarily by being active in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. In this organization I have held various elected positions. Of these positions, one of the most impor­ tant was as Alpha Chi Omega’s representative to the Women’s Greek Council. As a delegate on the council, I voted on various issues important to the Women’s Greek community. This experi­ ence has prepared me to be your College of Arts and Sciences rep­ resentative. I believe a student representative should have an open mind, be proactive in voic­ ing student concerns to the lead­ ership of CSUSM, and always maintain an open door policy. If elected, I promise to respect every student concern that comes to my attention, and to deal with those concerns in an expeditious, prudent, and unbiased manner. If you want a College of Arts and Sciences representative that is dedicated to hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making sure that your voice gets heard, then vote for me, Maria Fernanda Schroeder. Shannon Tweed I’m a full time junior with a major in human development. I am running for the position of College of Arts & Sciences representative for ASI. I am an active student member in the Human Development and Vet­ eran’s Association clubs. I am also an EOP peer mentor on campus, which has provided me with knowledge and experience to assist students within my col­ lege while they navigate through this bureaucratic system. I am the best choice for Col­ lege of Arts & Sciences represen­ tative because as a U.S. Marine Veteran, I have the discipline, loy­ alty, and commitment to address the interests, needs and concerns of the student body in the Col­ lege of Arts &1Sciences. So vote for me, Shannon Tweed. College of Business Representative Matthew E. Coultas My intention, and overall responsibility, is to bring the opin­ ions of the students enrolled in the College of Business Admin­ istration (CoBA) program to the attention of the ASI governing board. In doing so, I will voice an accurate and forthcoming rep­ resentation of the wishes and concerns of those in the CoBA program. I will be responsible and dependable in the course of carrying out the requirements of the college of business represen­ tative position. By performing my duties in an honest and faith­ ful manner, I intend to become an asset to both ASI as well as the general student population. Deanna C. Garcia I am running for College of Business representative. This is my sixth semester at Cal State San Marcos, and I am work­ ing on my bachelor’s degree in business administration-service sector management. Currently, I am involved in a club on campus and have held two executive posi­ tions, one minor position, and have served on two committees within the organization. These positions has given me the oppor­ tunity to work closely with the executive board to make deci­ sions that benefit the group as a whole. I will bring many ideas, suggestions, an unbiased opinion and a good attitude to ASI. I plan to address all interests, needs and concerns of the student body of the College of Business as well as insure that the mission state­ ment of Cal. State San Marcos is upheld in the College of Business Administration. Terra Nelson I’m running for the position of ASI representative for the Col­ lege of Business Administration. If elected, I will be a new face to ASI; however, I am an old one here at CSUSM. I have been attending CSUSM since 1998, and I intend to graduate with a business degree in the spring of 2003. As I enter my eighth semester here at CSUSM, I have decided to join ASI because I want to bring freshness to the team and allow different voices and concerns on campus to be heard. I would be proud to serve in ASI because I believe in the values of intellectual engagement, community, integrity, innovation, and inclusiveness at CSUSM. Implementing these values will help me fulfill the vision of CSUSM becoming a distinctive public university in all facets of academic excellence, service to the community, and improving learning by new innovative meth­ ods. Since our college is so young, I hope to be a part of a team that will lay a strong foundation not only for today’s students, but also for the students of tomor­ row. I’m asking for the opportu­ nity to build and share the vision of CSUSM and develop a distinc­ tive school that we are proud to call our own.

How­ ever, I do realize tlie importance of what was written. Personally, I do not allow family or friends to extinguish cigarettes at my home by snuffing them out wher­ ever they like, but my home is not an institution. The staff writer who wrote this article could have better facilitated effective communication by mentioning how well our campus looks and how, in the effort to maintain its beauty, students could make an active effort to dispose of their cigarettes in their proper place. Furthermore, I find the imag­ ery used to get the point across ludicrous: “I catch myself dodg­ ing them as I walk to and fro.” The better approach to a mes­ sage such as this is by using positive powers of persuasion, not trying to heap upon smokers an insurmountable level of guilt. Reading The Pride, I believe, is for the purpose of assessing the progress and development of its staff and students, measuring how much we have achieved and discussing our future ambitions.

I would like to thank Mar- * * lino Bitanga for touching on the issue of identity theft in his article “Is Your Identity Safe?” in the February 26 edition of The Pride. Identity theft is an increasingly dangerous prob­ lem today. The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web­ site (http://www.consumer.gov/ idtheft/), which addresses this issue at length, as well as coun­ termeasures one can take to minimize risk (See the publi­ cation: ID Theft: When Bad Things Happen To Your Good Name ). Certainly moving toward an ID that is not based on social security numbers would be a good move for CSUSM to consider. I would also take care at public terminals, like the web lookup for book lists at the bookstore, where social security numbers are cached in the browser.

Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001. Dear Pride Readers, the weekend. In fact, I’m probably one of the few who have seen how des­ olate our campus can be by 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Still, I am writing this brief letter in hopes that some reader out there has the power to change the lounge hours. I am known for writing opinion articles of a human­ itarian nature, but not this time. This time I am writing to complain for my own personal benefit. As one of the editors for The Pride, I faithfully spend every Sunday in the newspaper office. I recently had this great idea. I could go to the student lounge, pop some popcorn and take a newsbreak (no pun intended, I am an avid news watcher). Unfortunately, Sunday is the only day our student lounge is closed. I realize that campus is not teeming with students on Hopeful, LISA LIPSEY Pride Feature Editor Compiled by JAMES NEWELL Pride Editor The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep, the vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish core. So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end, and we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty and the story that has unfolded as one that deserves praise and ritual. My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives, and the modem age's lies won't absolve you. And the professional truth and the dear clairvoyant youth, and, of course, the nightly news will deceive you.

Culture was the seed of proliferation, but it has gotten melded into an inharmonic whole. Consciousness has plagued us and we can not shake it - though we think we're in control. The person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged on the bus ride home from work to end your day. And the food on your table is more plastic than protein, and you intellect depends on your TV. Where is the justice when no one is at fault, and a human life is tragically wasted? How fragile is the flame that burns within us all to light each passing day? PROGRESS is a debt we all must pay. It's convenience we all cherish. It's pollution we disdain.

For those of you to whom this is groundbreaking news, WAKE UP! Yes, Cal State San Marcos has a surf team and has had four com­ petitions during the regular season. ASI added surfing to its list of approved club sports on January 25. The team is small at the moment, but has all the potential to become lively and popular within the next year and beyond. The surf team joined 23 teams at the Seaside Reef competition over President’s Day weekend and took sixth place. Shortboarder Jeff Fairbanks earned 20 points for the team, longboarder Dustin Franks earned 18 and after winning three consecutive heats, also took first place in the College Longboard Division. Fairbanks was a key player in this competition; shredding through five rounds and just missing advancement to the college men’s final. He took sev­ enth place overall. George Demarino, the team’s bodyboarder, had a strong supporting role, earning 13 points for the team and taking sixth place overall. Check out next week’s edition of The Pride for the results of their final regular season competi­ tion held on Feb. 24 in Huntington Beach.

Sports Paralympics Light Up Olympic Flame Again A Preview of What Is to Come By MELANIE ADDINGTON Arts Editor Beginning Saturday, March 9, Olympic fans can turn their TVs to A&E and watch the Paralympic Games. The Olympic flame will be relit and the world’s disabled athletes will compete in Alpine and‘Nordic skiing, and sledge hockey. In addition to competitive events, Canada and the U.S. will play an exhibition game of ice hockey. Over 36 countries and 1,000 athletes (The U.S. has 57 ath­ letes, 41 men and 16 women) will compete in the 2002 Games. The opening ceremony on Thursday, March 7 will include entertainment from Stevie Wonder, country singers Wynonna and Billy Gilman, pop perfomer Donny Osmond, and pop-classical violinist VanessaMae. NBC will air the one-hour program on Saturday, March 9th at 2 p.m. EST. What is the difference between the Olympics and Para­ lympics? Unlike the Olympics, the Paralympics use a classification system that enables athletes to compete on an equal level: all athletes compete with a pre­ determined degree of disability. Athletes are divided into three categories: LW classes (competitors with _ locomotive disabil­ ities), sitting LW classes, and B classes (competitors with visual impairment). was introduced by athletes at the Innsbruck 1984 Paralympic Winter Games. Since then, cross­ country skiing events have been split into two separate races: clas­ sical and free technique, accord­ ing to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Alpine Skiing Men and women will com­ pete in four alpine skiing dis­ ciplines during the Salt Lake 2002 Paralympic Winter Games: downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom. Courses differ in length, ver­ tical drop and number of gates, all of which dictate the skier’s technique and speed, according to the Paralympics 2002 web site. Giant slalom and slalom skiing events have been medal events since the first Paralympic Games. Downhill was added at the Innsbruck 1984‘Paralympic Winter Games, and super-G at the Lillehammer 1994 Paralym­ pic Winter Games. Ice Sledge Hockey Ice sledge hockey became an official event during the Lille­ hammer 1994 Paralympic Winter Games.

I am very motivated to work along­ side the school and ASI and make changes for the better while serv­ ing the students at Cal State San Marcos. My major emphasizes finance, so I believe I am quali­ fied to handle the responsibilities of this position. I am a dedicated worker and a team player, and I believe these skills will help me contribute to ASI. Crystal Folk I am running for the ASI posi­ tion, vice president of finance. I am committed to student involve­ ment, as I am currently the repre­ sentative for the College of Arts & Sciences. I serve on the ASI Programming Committee, which is responsible for the many suc­ cessful events here on campus. I am a member of the Women’s Leadership Committee, which focuses on outreach to disad­ vantaged high-school students, which provides them with pos­ itive encouragement. The pro­ gram encourages each young person to utilize the other as a beneficial resource and means of support. I am treasurer of the Pan African Student Alliance, and I am responsible for keeping accu­ rate records of our accounts. I update our statements and main­ tain open communication with the officers and members of our organization concerning budget­ ary matters. With the help of the network I have established here on campus with students, faculty, and staff, I will achieve each goal set forth this coming year. My dedication to student involvement and student life will be reflected in my work on the ASI budget, so vote me, Crys­ tal Folk, your vice president of finance.

I am very enthusiastic about the business program at this school and hope to see it achieve fur­ ther accreditation. My participa­ tion on campus has allowed me to meet many different people and build my own vision for the future of CSUSM. A big com­ plaint on campus is that there is no college culture, and little student involvement. I too com­ plained about this and decided if I wanted a good college experi­ ence, I would have to create it myself. My goals as the College of Business representative are not only to represent the students of the College of Business, but also to create memorable and creative activities for this campus.

ASI Vice President of External Affairs Brett Gladys The time has come for us to take hold of our university and mold it into ‘our’ university! The time has come for change! The division that exists between stu­ dent government and the stu­ dents of Cal State San Marcos is wrong, and serves no one. I, Brett Gladys, am running for the posi­ tion of vice president of External The Pride Affairs so that I can work to rec­ tify this situation. In this posi­ tion, I will be able to work with students to promote change at Cal State San Marcos and to work on a statewide level with every Cal State University to fight for student interests. Cal State San Marcos needs leadership that is in touch with the needs and con­ cerns of students and is willing to work diligently for those inter­ ests. As vice president of External Affairs, I will communicate with students and speak for them at ASI and CSSA conferences. I will work to enrich the lives of stu­ dents and to see involvement on campus grow. Through campus pride initiatives and increased student involvement in the stu­ dent government, we can improve this university! There are great things on the horizon for Cal State San Marcos, and it is my wish that every student be a part of them. Glay Eyiinah Glay I am a full-time senior major­ ing in political science, with a minor in economics. I am run­ ning for the ASI position of vice president of External Affairs of ASI. As your ASI vice president of External Affairs, I will fight for issues that are important to CSUSM students: Low fees and tuition, smaller class sizes, increased funding for more diverse student activities and keeping you informed of policy changes that affect us. I am a veteran of the US Navy. I served in student lead­ ership positions in high school and military training school. I presently volunteer for MAMA’s Kitchen, serving hot meals to our unfortunate brothers and sisters in the greater San Diego area. I have the experience, commit­ ment, devotion, and loyalty nec­ essary to represent the voices and interests of Cal State San Marcos students in our effort to make this university a home away from home. So please vote for me. Thank you for choosing me. James Nguyen I am a political science major applying for the position of ASI vice president of External Affairs. I am currently an active Exter­ nal Affairs Committee member, a Student Fee Advisory Commit­ tee member, the vice president of the Progressive Activist Net­ work, and the president of the Asian Pacific Student Society. I was also in the inaugural class of the Emerging Leader Program at Cal State San Marcos.

Being a well-known indi­ vidual by many students, staff and faculty, my involvement on campus stretches well beyond the area of student government. I am a devoted student advocate actively involved with student life and student issues. My dedica­ tion to student life is a key con­ tribution I bring to ASI. In conclusion, what I have to offer the student body of CSUSM is broad experience in student government and student life that will help me effectively and effi­ ciently carry out the duties of vice president of External Affairs to its full potential. ASI Executive Vice President Arti A. Patel I am running for the position of executive vice president. I am a sociology major who will be graduating next June. The reason I am running is simple: there is a need to increase student involve­ ment on campus, and I feel I am the most qualified to handle that job. As the current executive vice president of ASI, I am in charge of placing students who want to get involved either through com­ mittees, focus groups or other activities/events in need of a stu­ dent voice. As a student who has been involved in many aspects of student life on this campus, I have observed the increasing need for student involvement and student voice. In my first week as the newly appointed execu­ tive vice president, I was able to recruit three students to fill cur­ rently vacant board of director positions, as well as place sev­ eral students on committees with openings. If elected as executive vice president for the 2002-2003 school year, I plan to implement programs such as a campus pride initiative, as well as other ini­ tiatives, that will help to build campus community.

Part of my job in the U.S. Army Finance Corps was to be the debt man­ ager for over 10,000 soldiers from two bases in Germany and also for the camps I was deployed to in Bosnia and Kosovo. This job required a lot of organization and efficiency. Coincidentally, these . very same skills are needed to be an effective ASI corporate secre­ tary. Being away from college for so long has helped me to appre­ ciate the opportunity I have to get involved and make a differ­ ence. To that end, when I came to CSUSM last semester, I hit the ground running. Instantly, I joined the lacrosse team, began sitting on the ASI External Affairs Committee, and started up the Progressive Activists Net­ work (PAN), of which I am the current president. One of the things I found striking about CSUSM when I came here was the lack of community, identity, and school pride. Through PAN, I have been trying to change that by collaborating and communi­ cating with several other student organizations and bring events to campus that will foster feel­ ings of community, identity, and school pride. For example, PAN’s monthly Socially Relevant Film Series (started this semester) has arranged to show films with PASA, the Women’s Studies Stu­ dent Association, APSS, and the Environmental Club. Right now, this campus is quiet and lacks a conspicuous identity, but it does not have to be like that. We have so much potential, to make this place fun, to make this place rock, and most importantly, to make this place ours. There have been times this year when student voices were not heard by the leadership of OSUSM, and sometimes that has been disastrous (i.e. the Com­ mencement controversy). As ASI corporate secretary, it would be my job to keep the information student leaders need to make informed decisions on past, cur­ rent, and future issues. But I do not feel that is enough. If elected, I promise to be a proactive secretary who is dedicated to keeping students abreast of cur­ rent issues, finding out how stu­ dents feel about those issues, and making sure that the leadership of CSUSM know how students feel about issues. If you want an ASI corporate secretary ded­ icated to keeping you informed, hearing your ideas, being your voice, and making CSUSM a place we can all be proud of, vote for me, Erik Roper. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CSUSM students give back Different opportunities around campus to donate this holiday season BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Despite the stress the holiday season can bring, for many this time of year is also a time of giving and sharing. Several CSUSM organizations are reaching out this season to help those in need. Currently, CSUSM's College Republicans are conducting Operation Donation. Operation Donation is a holiday drive to support wounded soldiers from Camp Pendleton who are arriving at military hospitals. The goal of the drive is helping soldiers through recovery and giving back to the men and women who have risked their lives for our country. Donation items can be dropped off at Craven 4116 until December 23. Suggested donation items are: nonperishable foods, DVD's, batteries, phone cards, books, magazines, Game Boys, Domino's Pizza gift certificates, towels, wash cloths and any hygiene supplies. CSUSM Academic technology services is currently holding the annual Bree Tinney auction in order to raise money for the Bree Tinney memorial scholarship. Items donated are auctioned off to raise money. The money goes to fund scholarships that are not endowed with enough funds. The auction runs until 12 p.m. on December 9 and can be accessed at http://www.csusm. vol.xiino.13 TUESDAY, N OVEMBER 3 0,2004 The facts about arrests on campus BY WILL LEMON Pride Staff Writer During the latest wave of protests on campus, demonstrators continued to claim racial profiling in the CSUSM police department, often citing arrest information printed in the San Diego Union-Tribune in comparison with CSUSM enrollment data available on the schools website. Using data provided by the campus police department and campus registration information, the Pride has the figures for your comparison. The arrest data cited in the Tribune said that "out of 174 arrests on campus since 2000, more than half arrested were white, 35 percent Hispanic and 5.7 percent AfricanAmerican." This information mirrors the summary percentages provided by the campus police. Further examination of the police data shows a sharp rise in arrests in the 2003-2004 year. Between 2000-2003, the CSUSM police department made a total of 59 arrests. From Nov. 2003 to Nov.2004 the CSUSM police department made 115 arrests, nearly twice the amount of arrests made in the previous three years. "The number of arrests has significantly risen since the opening of the Resident hall on campus," remarked CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller at the data. Data from November 4 2003November 4 2004 shows that whites comprised approximately 52.5 % of the student population and 51.3 % of the arrests.

During the same time period Hispanics comprised approximately 19.2% of the student population and 34.8 % of arrests. African-Americans comprised 2.8% of those enrolled and 7.8% of the arrests on campus. "We come in contact not just with students but also with members of thé local community," said Lt. Miller in response to questions about the racial/ethnic makeup of arrests by the CSUSM police department. Miller said that the racial/ethnic make-up of campus police arrests were fairly close to the racial/ethnic make-up of the community. Registration statistics about race/ethnicity are derived from information gained at the time of enrollment, where a student self selects their racial/ethnic background. According to Miller arrest racial/ethnic information is obtained by officers selecting a category after asking the suspect their racial/ ethnic background. Note: Police data categories were White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Asian- Indian, and Hawaiian. FORUM, from page 1 reduce the charges against Jason Williams," said Haynes. Haynes also stated that if the external investigator were to uncover a problem with a particular officer or officers practicing racial profiling on campus, "An officer could be let go." Other students expressed concern that students might be hesitant to file a formal complaint against the police, since the form has to be obtained from and submitted to the police. Leonard characterized the process as "unsafe" and "intimidating."

For comparison purposes police data categories of Asian-Indian and Hawaiian were grouped under 'Asian/ Pacific Islander'; plaints need not be signed. "They (the police) can investigate an unsigned complaint," Haynes said. A review by The Pride of the campus police web site found only an email comment form—not the formal complaint form—was available on line. When asked by student Steven Zamora if she felt that "aggressive policing" was better than community based policing for our campus, Haynes wasn't willing to sanction the use of the term "aggressive" in relation to campus policing methods.

They could be white. Or black. Or brown. Male or female. Blond or brunette. Student, faculty, or staff. Seventeen or twenty-eight or fifty-two. They might know they're infected. They might not. It could be the person sitting next to you, or the one sipping a latté at Kellogg Café right now. You would never know by looking at them that they carry the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, a virus that ravages the host's immune system. When the immune system can't fight off even the lowliest of infections anymore—bugs that live all around us all the time that a healthy immune systemfightsoff easily—the disease is reclassified by the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is transmissible via straight sex, anal sex, oral sex, needle sharing and blood transfusion. Wednesday December 1 is World AIDS Day. It will receive a short mention in the local paper and on the evening news, but this article and an HIV/AIDS information booth planned by Student Health Services on Kellogg Plaza from 10:30 to 2:30p.m. will be the only acknowledgement on the CSUSM campus of the global pandemic that is infecting six new people in San Diego County every day. Eleven campus student organizations were contacted by The Pride-American Indian the red ribbon is for any more, and celebrities haven't worn them on the red carpet in years. But AIDS is alive and well in San Diego County. According to statistics from the County's Health and Human Services Agency over 4,000 case of HIV infection have been reported in the county since 2002.

The book was released in September but I have anticipated reading this collection of memoirs since the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the NBA Finals in June. The book is Phil Jackson's journal that he kept over a year's time. It starts with his first entry coming on July 11,2003 as he is heading to his home in Montana. He talks about the annual spiritual journey that he Wfcat is about to embark on in order to get away from the hectic NBA life that he leads. In this first entry he writes about his excitement when he receives word that the Lakers are about to sign Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Not much longer into this entry he writes about a conversation with Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers General Manager, regarding the news of Kobe Bryant and the accusations that Kobe raped a young woman. With that first entry you see that there is going to be a roller coaster of emotions throughout the book. With so many different events that occurred during his tenure as coach of the Lakers, Phil had plenty to write about in his journal and he certainly wasn't worried about offending people. The book is organized into twelve chap- if F m pre^wfl^ • v. * 'I m a k e i nformed, h ealth _ a » JSll c onfident c hoices 277 S* R a n c h o S a n t a H H H l San Marcas, i more info? birthchoice.net llgianswers, real help ters with each one containing different insights into what really happened behind the scenes of the Lakers dynasty. One of the major topics in the book is the personality conflict and fight for power between Kobe and Shaq in which Phil reveals just how childish their squabbles were. Another topic that comes up quite often is his analysis of his relationship with Kobe Bryant and the tension that resides with the two of them. Phil also discusses many controversial topics that involve the NBA and where he thinks the state of the game is going. However, throughout the whole book he primarily tries to focus on what happened during last season. Phil constantly discusses the slow implosion of his team as they gradually fall apart whether it be by injury, lack of effort, or out of spite for one another. He continually writes about the different methods he attempts in order to get his team to play together. He tries reverse psychology telling his team they can't do something, automatically making them want to prove him wrong; he tries guilt by making them feel like he is let down by their performance; he tries meditation making them focus on being a team rather than a bunch of individuals. However, with all of his work trying to get them to act like a team I found it funny that when Phil refers to the his team he doesn't use unifying words such as "Us" or "We", he always refers to them as "The Lakers", creating a separation from them which in my mind doesn't say much about him trying to create a team atmosphere. In chapters eight through eleven Phil writes in his journal during the playoffs. When reading these chapters I couldn't Photo courtesy of The Penguin Press help but think to myself, why is he writing in his journal during this time when every second of his time should be devoted to practicing, studying, preparing or something to help his team advance in the playoffs. Then as I continued to read on he quickly answered my question as he soon details that practice won't help his team due to their own individualistic attitudes. Not even Phil Jackson was able to find an answer for the Lakers which definitely tells you something when you consider he is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk court side. I recommend this book to you as it is one of the best sports books I have read and it will certainly give you a greater admiration for your family or coworkers.

Dreams of being a Polynesian/Jewish Whitney Houston have eluded me, leaving me in the outskirts of my hometown of Oceanside, singing in filthy bars to a group of howling friends, egging me on to do The Robot. Karaoke is this sick fetish for those inclined to pretend they are a superstar. Freaks, weirdoes, and Michelles alike can all be found at these places of prestige. The Alley. Smitty's. Coyote Bar and Grill. Heck, come on over to my house and bring your favorite CDs. Let's make a night out of it. I recall a semester or so ago there was a fraternity or sorority something on campus that had an open karaoke barbeque. Pure genius. There was a young man who sang his heart out. He had no crowd to cheer him on, no beer obviously, and yet he was this karaoke sprite, asking for nothing but a chance to finish his song. People walked by, ignoring the fact that the young man was flexing his "hip-to-be-square" mentality. You want to talk about the right to be heard? A right to information? Students that night had a right to know who the campus idiots were. Had I known this function was going on, I would've changed my schedule to be a part of CSUSM karaoke barbeque/mixer something history. My life is full of books and serving overpriced coffee. Sometimes a girl like me needs an outlet. A release. A form of expression. Chasing around older men gets, well, old. If Karaoke is a sport, these are the rules: two teams. One team is the group of individuals who are most definitely feeling the funk, that is, spirited, a.k.a. drunk. These people take to the stage and are dead serious. Some have flunked out of the church choir, are actual singers whose careers have taken a detour, or have what I like to call "shower time talent," looking for a contract. The second team is the team I currently play for. Strictly for laughs. Oh, but the game face must be on. Your friends know you're joking, but the crowd has to really believe it and feel it. There is one catch if this is to be Extreme Karaoke. You must do it stone sober. Otherwise, you may take it too seriously which could take you out of the game or you may be possibly swapped for a player from the first team. Savvy? This is definitely not to say that you can't baby-sit a cold one all night, but you have to be ready for game time. No slurring, just ultimate Karaoke. I take this game seriously. Just like professional bowlers have their own balls, I have my signature song, "Superfreak," by the late great Rick James. I've done that song in addition to my own intergalactic planetary robotic seizure dance. The crowd loves it and I'm sure Mr. James would too. I have the intention to go to the sleaziest Karaoke bars in North County and work my way down to the famous Piano Bar that was in the movie Top Gun. I hope that on a Friday night, you shake off that odd little nugget called self-respect and join in on the healthy destruction of some really good songs. Anyone who wants a challenge, just bring it unless I've met you and it's already been brought. Oh yeah, baby. I've got big dreams for Extreme Karaoke. Big dreams.

I know I have done it countless times and I'm Is it me or is it hard to stay focused late into the semester? Throughout my college career I have found it hard to stay focused as the semester goes on and on and. No matter what semester it is, spring or fall, I always find a way to hit "the wall." At the start of the semester I'm all gung ho about my education. I study often, read the material in advance, highlight things—all that fun stuff that is supposed to make you a good student. Eventually I learn how my professors and classes operate then my mind works in a different less efficient way. Instead of doing sure some you have too. I have some tips to help with things the easy way, Ifindways to make the classes and the semester staying focused and to get a lot harder. I see if attendance is through the semester. I am no not an expert at this a mandatory type of thing and if the lectures are helpful. If they sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Phil, aren't, then I start conning myself and I am not an "A" student, so into strategies on how not to go to you take these tips At Your Own < <-> « class. How many times have,you, . Risk\ Know thyself - if you are a slacker (i.e. motivationally challenged), then do not get into a class were attendance is not taken and/òr the absence rule is not enforced. I tell you this because sooner or later you will end up being the person that shows up to class and the people that attend every class look at you like you are crazy. Save yourself the awkward looks and either get yourself a forty ounce of red-bull before every class or just drop the class before it gets out of hand. lam no not an expert at this sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Sit at the front of the Phil, and I am not class.

When I called the Student Technology Help Desk and asked how many Mini DV Cameras they had total, the response was 11, and that they believed four had permanently been checked out by professors which brings us down to the whopping grand total of seven Mini DV Cameras. These seven cameras are fair game; they are free for any student on the CSUSM campus to check out just like books, and you are also allowed to re-check out these cameras upon returning them. I find it hard to believe that seven Mini DV Cameras are enough to support the Comm majors enrolled in these new classes. The projects in these new classes are film projects, which require the use of a video camera. If you don't have a friend who'll let you borrow his or her video camera and your attempts to check one out from the Student Technology Help Desk were unsuccessful you're screwed. So Comm majors get ready to ask for some extensions because there is a very good chance you are going to need them. Dear Editor, I wanted to respond to the people who wrote the editorials regarding graffiti. It appears I was the only one who wrote in that was for the graffiti. They argued against it because it was abusing the idea of free speech and because the offenders were spreading lies. Well I still feel the way I did before regarding the action but my new problem is with this idea of lies. Who cares if they spread lies? Who is so foolish that they trust chalk on the ground? The problem is not with the people who spread the lies but with people that believe the lies. Of course, a group is going to bend the truth to get their way this should be apparent to every breathing person. It is up to the individual to be critical of all they are told. I am tired of the lazy attitude people have on thinking for themselves. They want to live cycles of working, sleeping, and watching television. They want to use as little of their brain as possible throughout the day. This is why most people voted for Bush because they want someone to lead their government and their life. It reminds me of the period following the First World War when people became so disillusioned with the idea of reason and science they looked for Nietzsche's Superman to come and lead them. This of course led to such great (sarcasm) leaders as Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. Nowadays people have again become disillusioned with the ideas of critical thought, reason, and the individual. Therefore, they again are looking for a superman to come and lead them to some kind of glory and are it not funny that the citizens of America chose George W. Bush to be their superman. Since the election for Pope of the United States, I have begun to ask myself many questions. Has the world I live in always been this sheepish and afraid and I have only come to realize it now? Or is it a recent change? Is this the third great awakening or worse, the predawn to the Orwellian life of 1984? I personally have given up on you my fellow man and our society in a whole but I do wish you good luck in deciding what I should think and what I should believe. Post Script: Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast members our in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page. We students, who do not care about these same 10 peoples lives, need to write in more and demand something different. Sincerely, Weston Rogers Senior, History major, and a member of the Depopulation Cooperative. I am writing to you about the current issues surrounding the so called "moral values" and the "sanctity of marriage". My 72 year old father recently went to Russia and brought back a young woman to marry, the same age as his children. Our society will let any combination of a man and a woman get married regardless of its moral values; yet, they will not allow homosexuals to share in the financial, emotional, and committed benefits of marriage. Homosexuality should be treated as any other minority in the United States. For some reason our society can not look past their heterocentric views and extend the rights to homosexuals that are extended the rest of the society. Not long ago there were miscegenation laws prohibiting marriage between members of different races. Did the world stop spinning when those laws were changed? No; and, the world will not stop spinning if they allow homosexuals to marry either. In a sense, what the American society is doing by discriminating against this misrepresented group of people is itself a form of a hate crime. I find it very disturbing how many religious sectors of our society get to make the rules that affect the lives of those not belonging to their congregations. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Why can't our society let homosexuals attain the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that their heterosexual counterparts are allowed to pursue? Why do they allow marriages like my father's to be validated and not the unions of the loving relationships of millions of American citizens, your brothers, your sisters, your aunts, your uncles, your sons, and your daughters..., who happen to be homosexual? It is not time that changes things, it is people that change things. Ann Kirkendall Senior, Liberal Studies major Regarding the recent storming of President Haynes' office on November 10,1 have one question: don't you all have anything better to do? President Haynes has to run this campus, she shouldn't have to waste her time on matters like this. Instead of thinking up new schemes to grab attention, maybe you should focus on encouraging the wronged student to exhaust all the correct channels before interrupting the president. Was the affected young man even present in the storming of the president's office? The whole event reeks of 'publicity stunt' rather than 'truly concerned'. On another note...last Thursday there was a Veteran's Day ceremony held at CSUSM which was attended by numerous students, faculty, and family members. The event spotlighted the current reserve and active duty military members who are students among you, several who are veterans of the war in Iraq. Regardless of one's views on our current administration or the war in Iraq, respect for those who have died in past wars should not be a fad. Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of? What really bothers me is how many students who don't support our veterans took advantage of the free BBQ given out after the ceremony.

J. M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) play is bombing miserably on opening night, and we soon learn his marriage isn't faring any better. Barrie heads off to the park the next morning with his gargantuan dog, looking for inspiration for his next tour de force, when serendipity brings him and the widow Sylvia Llewellyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her family together. Davies has four young sons with whom Barrie has more in common than any of his contemporaries, and with Barrie's imagination and the boys' willingness to suspend disbelief, they set out on all sorts of fantastical imaginary adventures. Davies' son Peter (Freddie Highmore) lends his name to the boy who never grows up, and several moments in the film foreshadow other moments and characters that will make their way into Barrie's script for "Peter Pan." Johnny Depp is exquisite as ever, and his Scottish brogue is sweeter than Sean Connery's real one. Kate Winslet plays Davies to tear-jerking perfection, and outstanding support is given by Julie Christie as Davies' mother, and Dustin Hoffman as J. M. Barrie's patient theatrical producer. Director Marc Forester ("Monster's Ball") brings the lushness of Edwardian London Photos courtesy of Film Colony Production / The Pride to the screen, and elicits outstanding performances not only from his cast of awardwinners, but from the children, as well. Especially remarkable is young Highmore as Peter, who mesmerizes with his performance. As J. M. Barrie once said, "Young boys should never go to bed. They wake up a day older, and before you know it, they're grown." Go see "Finding Neverland" and you'll never want to go to bed, either (and not just because it's finals week). A little too shady It s time to get over Kim BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Eminem's latest CD, "Encore" fails to impress me after building his career on controversial lyrics. On Eminem's 4th release his lyrics just sound goofy. "Cause I'm what you wanna be/ So you just look like an idiot/ When you say these mean things cause it's so easy to see/ You're really just a big weenie (big weenie)." It's hard pulling up next to somebody on the road and bumping music like this. I'm not afraid to admit I used to listen to Eminem when he first came into the game with the "Marshall Mathers LP." However, after I listened to "Encore," I felt myself wanting to hear something new. He needed to take new strides in rapping with fresh material. "You are the ink to my paper/What my pen is to my pad/The moral, the very fiber, the whole substance of my rap." I wish I could tell him he needs to get over Kim, who is a prime target in many of his songs, and WW realize there are plenty of other females in the world. It seems like everyday he changes from hating her to loving her. He also needs to stop rapping about the "8 mile." I think by this point, after many CD's and a featured movie, we know that Eminem grew up in Detroit's ghetto, with a dysfunctional family. What Eminem is original in is that he has become very apologetic in his later years. Instead of creating beef, which is why he is famous, he apologizes to everyone from Christopher Reeves to Photos courtesy of Shady Records Ja Rule and Benzino. His songs are a lot better when he, excuse my language, starts shit with people. I don't really dig seeing Eminem's emotional side. Where this CD excels and becomes somewhat worthy is that many of the beats produced by Dr. Dre, Em's mentor, come off really strong. Songs like "Rain Man," "Mosh" and "Never Enough" all have that million dollar touch that Dr. Dre knows how to produce. Maybe it's because I'm a few years older than when I first listened to Eminem, but I can't groove with what he says anymore. I'm not a hater though. I have to give props to any thirty-twoyear-old rapper that can still make lyrics and beats from belches, farts, vomiting, and diarrhea. At the end of the day it's all about how you pay your bills, and I'm sure Eminem's "Encore" will more than help him with that task. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rather than being placed on a noweb/statuecerdits.htm the University Police report BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN Pride Staff Writer University Police prepare for the spring semester, highlighting crime alerts, offering students sound-advice and welcoming three new members to the department. "The area, not only the campus, is growing," said Chief of Police, Aaron Woodward about the concerns of a growing campus in relation to the growth of the department. "Our concern is that we are allotted 15 officers; base staffing is only what is budgeted. We would like to get ahead of the game, in terms of staffing." Over the holiday break, the Police made four arrests; two alcohol related incidents, one drug possession and one drug possession with the intent to sell. A male was arrested after driving past campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road, where he made an illegal u-turn, on Friday, Dec. 30. The simple traffic violation led to the discovery that the driver had over one and half grams of methamphetamine in his possession. The driver was arrested and taken to jail. Two days later, on the first of the year, a male was taken to jail for being drunk in public. Another alcohol related incident occurred on Jan. 8, when a UVA resident notified the Police Department that her inebriated boyfriend was attempting to drive off, despite her pleas. There are also allegations that the boyfriend damaged UVA property when throwing a rock at a window, but Police are still investigating this case. University Police also arrested a known San Marcos gang member on charges of drug possession with intent to sell. During a routine equipment violation stop, an Officer noticed that a passenger in the backseat of the vehicle had marijuana. After further investigation, the police were able to find evidence suggesting that the male had intentions on selling the ounce and a half of marijuana. The affiliated gang member, a parolee, was arrested and booked in jail. The driver was cited for an equipment violation and driving without a license. In addition to the Police Department's focus on crime activity, the department also promotes community involvement and education. In December, the department participated in the Teddy Bear Drive for the young patients at Children's Hospital.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer It was December of '03 when an old friend of mine began giving updates on a new friend of his, each one giving little opportunity to do more than gape and quietly send out a little anonymous hope. When, a few weeks ago, he handed over his T-mobile Sidekick, "here, Ivy speaks French too," I was more than a little pressed for the right vocabulary. That any student here could have passed her in the hall stirs an amazing interaction between curiosity and compassion. There's nothing sensational or exclusive about being able to email Ivy an interview, save that she is that much closer to recovery and that much more able to show us a person who refuses to be lost. So, I think the first thing we better start out with is the website you mentioned, not just the address, but who set it up, who maintains it, etc. www.thebookofivy.com was set up by my dad. He does all the work for it, he set it up, and he keeps it going. The web space was given to him by The Reef. I'm not sure what The Reef is, I just know it is a website. My website has a link to my benevolent fund, which is used to help pay for all my horrible medical expenses. Could you describe your high school experience for us in some detail?

Markstein Hall will be the new address for many departments, including History, Literature "cool" in front of their other loser friends to give anyone who was a little different a chance. I was a good student who had a 4.0 through my entire senior year when most students were slacking off. I had a very small group of close friends and then a bunch of little wannabes who idolized my best friend (Chase) and I. I think a lot of students felt a little threatened by me because I am a lot smarter than them and I was never afraid to speak my mind, stand up for the underdog and tell people when they were stupid. What was the state of your college plans when you graduated? My dream was always to go to Berkeley. Unfortunately, my father was out of work and we couldn't afford it. My plan was to do my general education at a less expensive school and then transfer to Berkeley for my major. I was planning on majoring in either music, photography, or French. Did any classes, high school or otherwise, give you any insight into either side of the experience? None at all.

I remember I was driving between 70-75 MPH in the fast lane. Some jerk wanted to go faster, so he cut me off. I swerved to miss him and lost control. I went over a cliff and was thrown 150 feet. I landed face down in a bush, which crushed my chest. All ribs were broken in multiple places. I broke my sternum which ruptured my spleen, lacerated my liver, and bruised my heart. My lungs had collapsed and werefillingwith fluid. The paramedics had to place an emergency chest tube in the field (which is almost never done). I was flown to the hospital with less than 1% chance of survival. You will have to be more specific about what you want to know concerning my hospital stay. It was almost 2 years, after all. Is there anything in particular you feel you might have 'missed out' on? I missed out on a lot. I didn't get to see my brother graduate because I was too sick. I spent both my 20th and 21st birthdays in the hospital and with sepsis. AFI (my favorite band of all time) called me on my birthday, but I was too sick to talk to them. I missed out on 2 years of my kitty's life, which may not seem to be that big of a deal, but she is like my child. I missed out on concerts I wanted to go to, the opportunity to sing with AFI, and social events with friends. Absolutely. People " don't know how to act in these sort of situations.

However, I do wonder There are two misconceptions about a couple of things. about the game that need to be cleared I want to know why there was never up. First of all USC did the right thing by going for it on fourth-and-twenty two. They were trying to put the game out of reach. They also used a play that had been effective not just the entire night, but a play that had been effective for three years. They rushed LenDale White up the gut. White didn't get the two yards and he is the best power back in college football so I really doubt anyone else could have. Hindsight being 20/20 USC could have considered an alternate play such as the one that USC used against Notre Dame on fourth-, and-six where Leinart baited the rush and found Dwayne Jarrett in one-onone coverage down the sideline. Secondly, this was not the best college football game of all time. That's all I have been hearing about for two weeks now. It was an awesome game, maybe top 10 of all time but certainly not the best. Yes, this game did have two Heisman winners, two undefeated teams, and a bunch of future NFL players, but the 2003 national championship between Miami and Ohio St also had a ton of future NFL players like Craig Krenzel, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Chris Gamble, and Drew Carter. The 2003 game also went into several overtimes and included an even bigger upset than the Texas game because everyone thought Ohio St. would not be able to score possession for possession with Miami. Now that USC is no longer a guarantee hopefully the sun doesn't let me down. CSU system prohibits alcohol at sporting events BY ERIN YOUNG Pride Staff Writer A new order w as issued on Dec. 23, 2005 "prohibiting all 23 CSU campuses f rom engaging in any sale of alcoholic beverages at any intercollegiate athletic events held in university owned or operated facilities." According to the alcohol policy released by the o ffice of the Chancellor Public A ffairs " this policy will also limit the alcohol advertising of beer and wine at all campuses." "The CSU believes that service of alcoholic beverages at intercollegiate athletic events in university owned or operated facilities is contrary to its systemwide alcohol policy and to its purpose of promoting a safe and healthy learning environment for all members of the university community," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. With the new alcohol policy in f ull a ffect it u nfortunately c onflicts with p reexisting contracts that include t he sale of alcohol at athletic events including football and basketball games. Although these policies w ill remain established u ntil there contracts expire they will have strict limitations and most likely not renewed. "I believe this policy is the logical and appropriate next step for the CSU to take," said John D. Welty, President of California State University, Fresno and chair of the CSU Alcohol Policies and Prevention Programs Committee. "The CSU system believes that students under the influence of alcohol cannot perform at their f ull potential," states the alcohol policy release. The pressure of alcohol abuse in any form contradicts the positive contribution to the learning environment and public image that the CSU system is striving to accomplish.

Well find out here: A survey of the student body was conducted in November of2005. The survey addressed the attitudes of CSUSM students concerning the current food choices being offered on campus including its quality and price. In addition, information was gathered on what substitute food choices they might prefer over the current offerings. The information obtained from the survey indicated that most students are dissatisfied with the food options on campus. The primary reason behind the dissatisfaction is the price; most expressed that the prices charged are too high and the available options too limited. Over half (64 percent) of the respondents indicated they felt the value of food was only fair or poor. When questioned about eating on campus 21.9 per- cent of respondents indicated they brought food to campus from home while another 8.8 percent actually went home to eat. Another segment chose not to eat campus food but purchased food off-site and ate off-site (18.4 percent) or purchased off-site and returned to campus (7 percent). Despite the apparent dissatisfaction with food options available on campus 27.2 percent of respondents indicated that they do purchase food on campus. When questioned about the categories of food purchased most often on campus the majority of respondents indicated that they purchase beverages. The next most frequently purchased food types were sandwiches and pizza. On overwhelming majority of the respondents indicated, they were aware of food options at "The Dome", "Campus Coffee", "Starbucks" and the various vending machines. However, not many were aware that food is available at the "Cougar Den". Students named 23 unique food vendors they would like to see on campus, all but one being "fast-food". Given the option of having new food choices on campus students were three times more likely to suggest a burger type eatery (Wendy's, Carl's Jr., etc), a deli style eatery (Subway, Quizno's, etc.), or a Mexican style eatery (Mr. Taco, Del Taco, etc.) vs. pizza, chicken specific, or oriental type eateries. Slightly less than 10 percent of respondents indicated they would like to see a pub style eatery (with beer) on campus. What does all this mean? For you, the student, it means if you want to see some changes you (we) need to unite our voices, start a letter writing campaign, let our dissatisfaction be heard by the administration! The survey was conducted by Marketing 442 students, Debra Doerfler, Albert Orozco, Matt Leventhal and Nick Villarino, as part of a class project. Debra Doerfler We have set some hefty goals for ourselves here at The Pride. We have pulled together an eclectic team of writers and editors who have brought you, the Cougars of Cal State San Marcos, a pretty darn good newspaper. Now, we want to go beyond last semester and bring forth a paper worthy of the city of San Marcos. I do hope that you, the readers, will continue to email us at The Pride (pride@csusm.edu) with how you feel we are doing. First, I will give you a n update on our staff. The four main editors are returning. Zachary, Christine, and Erin will continue to bring the articles in. The Ombudsman from last semester really kept us in check, so I promoted him to Managing Editor. Let us know if he does a good job. If you emailed him last semester, please continue to do so. Our layout and design will be our biggest change. Jason Encabo, who should never be forgotten when talking about editors, has moved to the position of business manager. So, you will probably be seeing a new look for The Pride in the coming weeks as the new layout person, Jason Saumur, will be taking the helm. We have a new staff of writers starting this week. The first class is tonight at 5 p.m. and we should see some new names in the paper in the coming weeks. Last semester, we saw the birth of some reoccurring themes and columnists. Robbins Report brought some controversy and Cash Corner had some good advice. We hope to continue these columns this semester with a long time favorite Jock Talk with Josh. We are still looking for more. Believe it or not, good writers are not easy to find. So, we are looking for a few good writers who are interested in beats. A beat is a journalism term that refers to writing for a specific area. For instance, we are interested in a business beat, something that might coincide with Cash Corner, a medical beat, and a political beat. Plus, we could always use a good movie critic. The journalism class will help students write in all sections of a newspaper, like News and Features. So if you are interested in newspapers, I highly recommend it. One of my favorite sections in our newspaper is the opinion section. Students can put down on paper their frustrations and concerns about a multitude of subjects. Politics, food on campus, and even The Pride are all topics that can be covered by you, the student. Please air your frustrations with us, just have you facts straight. Patrick B. Long Editor-in-chief Robbins Report BY JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride According to our President, defeatists are those folks who refuse to see anything that is right or positive. Mommy, I don't want to be a defeatist. Given the opportunity, our President might have labeled me a defeatist last year.

Ok, so we all get a little jealous sometime. Big deal, it's only natural. But how far is too far? I want to clear the smoke about jealousy. It's highly normal - the fear of losing the one person you love most is an overwhelming emotion. But when your emotions are centered around reading your partner's mind and if you can't read their mind you take it upon yourself to look through their cell phone (outgoing, incoming calls and text messages) it's gone abnormally too far. When you suffer from jealously you're letting your emotions and insecurities get the best of you, it can change who you are as a human being. You become aggressive, excluded and honestly crazy. A common misconception about unhealthy jealousy is the belief that it measures your partner's interest and love in the relationship, when in fact it is only the measurement of the insecurity level. Thefirststeps to cure your jealous ways are to: recognize and admit it. As long as you know you have a problem you can work on it . Take your insecurities and 'squash' them. Be comfortable in your own skin and most of all: be confident. Yes, easier said then done, but find that inner fire that drives you to be who you are, no one or any amount of jealousy can take that away from you. Get to the core of your jealousy - are you scared that your partner is going to cheat? A word of advice, if someone is low enough to cheat on their supposed loved one there is nothing you can do to prevent it, you might be able to delay it with words and actions but sooner or later it's bound to happen, and wouldn't you rather have it be sooner than later so you stop wasting your time? According to webmd.com "to overcome or at least dilute jeal- ously you most know your own strengths, what do you specifically bring to the table?" Everyone is exceptional in their own way so what's different about you? Also, "don't compare yourself to anyone else because you're only sabotaging your own uniqueness." "It's important to remember that jealousy has a purpose, all emotions try to tell us something about ourselves, jealousy is a fear of losing power." Jealousy is compulsive, snooping and violating another's privacy is only going to harm your relationship and torture you with unanswerable questions? The best way to 'squash' jealousy is dealing with it directly, before it causes your relationship to self destruct.

Each semester, CSUSM invites peace activists to speak to the campus community on the current issues in foreign diplomacy. On Tuesday, Sept 30, Colonel Ann Wright will address her concerns regarding the rape and sexual assault ofJapanese women BY JACKIE CARBAJAL News Editor Sept. 21 marked the International Day of Peace, a call for global action in support of a full day of peace and cease fire. Originally intended to occur on the third Tuesday of September, the General Assembly announced ¡pi Wfvi Photo retreivedfrom thewe.cc by U.S. military personnel in Japan from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clarke Field House. Wright, a retired United States Army colonel and retired U.S. State Department official, is most notably recognized for her candid disagreement to the Iraq War and her public resignation to protest the invasion of Iraq back in 2003. Since her retirement, Wright has become a prominent figure as a peace activist, working alongside other prominent activists such as Cindy Sheehan, who spoke at CSUSM last semester. Last spring, she was a keynote speaker at an event in Japan led by local activists to increase awareness regarding the sexual assault of Japanese women by American soldiers. Established in 1981 by the Snmiy image courtesy of Internationaldayofpeace.org United N ations, Peace Day is intended to provide people around the world the opportunity to collectively partake in acts of peace on a specific date.

Haynes, she states that while serving as Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services from Jan. 2005-2008, Hoss "created an environment for continuous improvement and administrative productivity. His capable leadership, close ties to our external community and friends, and knowledge of the CSU system will place University Advancement and the Uni- versity in a strong position as we near our 20th anniversary." Hoss has worked at other colleges across the San Diego region including the University of San Diego as well as UC San Diego in University Advancement for four and a half years. He also served as Chief Financial Officer for the UCSD Foundation. Haynes also announced that she would begin her search for a Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services in October, citing Vice President Pat Worden to chair the search. The current VP for Finance and Administrative Services, Linda Hawk, will continue her term until the search is completed during the summer of 2009. Fall 2009 will mark the beginning of the search for a new Vice President for Student Affairs, as Worden, the current VP, will resign from the position in summer 2010. Educational Effectiveness Review underway Effective Oct. 1, Neal Hoss will official begin his role as Vice President for University Advancement.

There are so many artist performing in, redefining, and blending various genres, it is difficult to not find something that suits your taste. However, along with that, is the overall loathing and despising of other genres and artists by individuals. Yet back in the 1960's there was a music phenomenon, everyone loved The Beatles. When I say that, I know not 'everyone' loved The Beatles. However, the fans outweighed the opposed. At concerts and album releases, there was an absolute f renzy of fanatics. People o ften refer to this as 'Beatle-mania.' The obsessive nature of Beatle f ans was unlike anything ever seen. They were one of the main contributors to the 'British Invasion,' the massive flood of British music coming to the United States. They had a massive fan base that spanned the world. Their fame has lived on well past their career. Albums and paraphernalia are still high selling items worldwide. Their influence on the music world is incalculable. They revolutionized the album making process by composing songs themselves, and though they were not the first to do so, they made it the standard. Traces of their music style can still be heard in modern music. Music critics hail their work as more than music, but actual art. In the mid to mid-late 20th century, this was commonplace in the music scene. Beatles fans were not the only ones raging over the band. Other artist, such as Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Johnny Cash were j ust as big, then and now. And this raises questions about where this activity has gone. No longer are album stores flooded on the day of release. No longer do concerts become a f renzy of helpless love for the performer. This says something about the caliber of the quality of music being made today. For years there has not been an artist that has had the same glory as The Beatles or other artist of their time. I find it laughable that the Internet is filled with comments and postings that the Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles. The Brothers' f an base consists mostly of preteens and youths. They do not have the same appeal to all ages as the Beatles. Without a doubt, The Beatles are the greatest musical artists ever. They have made a mark commercially and socially that has not, and likely will never, be topped. THE PRIDE Letter to CSUSM cries wolf the editor I call foul BY GINA P. KEETON Years from now, when I look back upon my educational experience here at CSUSM, I will remember the many wonderful professors I have had who aided in shaping the ideas and thoughts I hold. However, in pertaining to the school itself, I will have only bitter memories. I think many individuals can agree that the unification efforts at this University are poor. "Cougar Pride" is most likely something that exists for a miniscule minority. There are virtually no sports and no common enemy for the CSUSM population to feel as one. Ironically enough, the only rallying efforts at this school involve fighting the California State University budget cuts. First off, this being my opinion, I want to make it clear that I understand the CSU system had been marginally hit by this lack of funds. Nevertheless, I still believe that CSUSM is not suffering as much as they want us to believe. These "budget cuts" are being used as a pathetic excuse to cheat the students out of more money. Now why am I calling foul on the school for their pleas to reduce the cuts? It is a multitude of things really. Individual incidents that one could just as easily turn their back on as coincidence. Yet if you really take a step back and look at certain things with a new perspective, you can see the bigger picture in which everything is intertwined. Over the summer a Professor mentioned that the school had spent an enormous amount of money to change from the trusty Smart Web system to theflawed,yet more visually attractive, MyCSUSM. Then in the weeks approaching the fell semester, the e-mail server switched and the school's homepage got an unneeded makeover. So why is it that a school that is suffering for money happened to splurge on superficial remodeling? To make up for the budget cuts . the school has cut GE courses in which seniors who are graduating this fell still need but cannot get into. The school is not allowing transfer students this spring supposedly in response to the cuts. To top it all off, the school's offices are infested with incompetent workers. Preceding this semester I had serious issues with the Veteran's office, Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Cashiers, and even the Registrar. After weeks of trying to get these issues resolved and having no success, I went to the Dean of Students. By the next morning I received seven phone calls either telling me that my complaint had np merit and I don't know what I'm talking about or kissing up to my derriere with an incredible amount of force. In the end, the problems were resolved after much stress and hardship. However, I cannot forget the many lies I was told, the fact that they kept a large scholarship check of mine to collect interest on, and the many individuals I went through that did not have a clue of what was going on in their own office. Maybe what the school needs to do, instead of trying to get State funding, is take a good look at their budget and try to clean up the wrongs inside the school, instead of giving it a shiny new website.

It's no longer a overall temperature of the earth question of if it exists, but what increased. impact it is having. Casual observation would Several studies have concluded seem to tell us the human impact that global warming has not had a measurable impact on hurricane intensity. A study released earlier this month by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a partner of the Department of Commerce's the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, concluded "that despite statistical correlations between SST [Sea Surface Temperature] and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity—and particularly greenhouse warming-has already had a discernible impact on Atlantic hurricane activity." The belief that a line has been drawn in the sand may not be as realistic or influential as one might think. In July 2006, Christopher Landsea of NOAA challenged the scientific community's attempt to connect global warming with hurricane intensity on the grounds that there simply was not a comprehensive enough body of data to make such a claim with any sort of accuracy. Older hurricane data is regarded as incomplete and shoddy, making it difficult to lend itself to the long term examination of global warming on hurricanes. It seems obvious then to ask yourself why all of this matters. If we are unable to say with certainty or anything remotely close to it that the hurricane disasters of late are by our own making, how is this an issue we need to take seriously? Not having enough evidence to make the case isn't an excuse for continuing to allow global warming to worsen. The only reason why the science isn't quite where it should be is because there isn't enough to be measured yet. I am not comfortable with gambling on that uncertainty after witnessing a string of devastating hurricanes compromise the safety and well being of my fellow Americans. The costs in lives and in damages if we continue to sidestep the possibility of global warming effects on hurricane intensity are easily avoidable if we as Americans and citizens of the world take the proper measures to make sure this ceases to be an issue. If we continue to idly stall until we achieve absolute certainty then the blood of America's hurricane victims will be on our hands and ours alone. �FEATURES THE PRIDE Some of CSUSM's youngest students still in diapers BY BILL RHEIN Pride Staff Writer Located adjacent to the UPD building off La Moree Road is one of CSUSM's newest resources. The Center for Children and Families just celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of this month. While the site is a childcare center, it offers a wide range of services. According to Francesca Gallozzi, the director of the center, they offer childcare and preschool experience. They are open to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, or about the age of kindergarten. The center is certified to care for infants who are less than 24 months, as well as being certified for children over 2 years until junior preschool and pre-k. Though the center is affiliated with CSUSM, it is open to the community. According t o Gallozzi, about 60% of the children are from the community, though students, staff and faculty have priority in enrollment. The children are cared for by fully qualified teachers at low ratio of children to teacher, which they are proud of, she said. Several workers happen to be students, though they must meet several requirements. Other features include all meals cooked on site for the children. The center is also a learning lab for the university for students who study child development. Gallozzi is pleased with the growth of the center, and she is looking for more ways to reach out. When the center opened, there were only 23 children, and enrollment is currently more than 120. "The school hasn't fully realized the opportunities for engagement at the center," she said. One program implemented in the center is the 'Cougars to Cubs' program. Student and staff can arrange a visit to the center to teach children about their field. Through this, both parties may benefit from the experience. Another program recently s tarted is the 'Celebrity Readers Program.' The center invites notable staff and community members to the center to bring their favorite book and read to the children. President Haynes was the first to participate in the event. The center will also collaborate with the University Village to host a Halloween carnival for the children this fall, a tradition started last year. The Childrens' Creative Learning Center (CCLC) is the parent company of the center. According to their website, the CCLC is a nationwide company managing childcare centers since 1992. Their emphasis is on centers for working families that provide learning experience. "We're really exited to be here and excited about growth," said Gallozzi. Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Catholic Club gains popularity BY JONATHAN E. THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer The club became official in March 2008. Club President Phil Hoffman and Vice President Nate McWeeney head the organization. Jenny Doherty handles communications by reaching out to all interested students. Seven other officers comprise the group. The club holds biweekly meetings every first and third Wednesday of the month at 7PM in Dorm Building C Meeting Room 1. On Wednesday the 24th, they are meeting with another Christian club on campus called Intervarsity at 7PM at the Clark Field House in Room 110. "It's popular for Catholic students to look for schools with Catholic clubs. I wish we had one when I started," said Hoffman. Hoffman and others met with a few deities in San Diego before forming the club. The deities gave support and funding for the CSUSM Catholic club. The churches even sent members from the group on retreats to train and help them with leadership. The club's mission aims to unite Catholics on campus. The group also wants to enable students to have a good Christian experience on campus and unite them with church. Eventually they want to establish a Newman Center on campus. The center provides a place of worship for Catholic students. The club intends to host a concert on campus next semester as well. "I think it's great that CSUSM students are keeping our faith alive," said Senior Management Major Suzette Monroyo. 60 students attended thefirstactual meeting back in April. Since then, more than 90 students joined the club's mailing list. For more information visit www.facebook. com/group.php?gid=29877041253 or send e-mail to csusmcatholicclub@gmail.com. "All are welcome. We can make people's college experiences a memorable one with friends and the opportunity to grow spiritually," said Hoffman. HBB Classifieds Paper due? Dictate your paper.

"Higher education is part of the solution to a troubled economy. Cuts to the California State University undermine California's economy, undermine revenue to the state, and undermine our ability to compete in a global economy," Taiz said. "The importance ofhigher education to the state's future is not lost entirely on our state legislators and the governor. In response to intense pressure by supporters of the CSU, they restored some $97 million to the CSU system in the May budget revision.

At CSUSM, the Career Center, located in Craven 1400, offers numerous resources to help with the process. Pamela K. Wells, the Associate Director of the Career Center and a Career Counselor, offers these tips. • Practice the interview. If enough time is available, schedule a mock interview in the career center. Students have the opportunity to practice an interview with a counselor. He or she should come dressed appropriately and with personal information such as resume and cover letter. The session can be scheduled for one hour and consist of at most a 30 minute interview, which can be recorded and bought for $3, but is not mandatory. A debriefing follows this and the student can receive feedback. If the timing of the interview does not allow for a mock interview, students can also practice online. Through the Career Center's website, www.csusm.edu/ careers, students have access to a program called 'Perfect Interview.' This online tool has students respond to typical interview questions. It can utilize a computer's webcam to record and playback a student's response, or answers can be typed into a text box. Either way, students can view appropriate responses to the questions. • Be ready with information about yourself Knowing one's strengths is an important way to show that he or she will be a good addition. Along with knowing strengths, the interviewee should be ready with specific examples about using these skills in the work- place. Using the STAR formula can leave a positive impression. Be able to frequently describe a Situation and Task, as well as the Action taken and Result to show off one's strengths. In addition, it is recommended that the interviewee know about the job they are going for. He or she should be familiar with the job description. As well, it is a good idea to be familiar with the position and company. • Make a strong first impression The first few seconds of the interview are critical. One should wear clean, pressed, and fitting business or business casual clothes, based on the interview. The interviewee should know the traffic and the route taking so that he or she can find parking and be on time. • Be memorable. Often interviewers will ask if one has any questions for them. It looks good when one asks specific relevant questions because it shows interest in the position. In addition, the interviewee should ask about what the next step is, when he or she will hear back, and take a business card. Using the ^information on the card, one should write a thank you for the time in the interview. Use the Career Center Besides the Mock Interview, the Career Center has many more resources online and in their office. Their 'Career Guide' offers information to get started on the job hunt and finer details about interviewing, such as the best way to give an answer, things not to say, and fine details on dressing. If a company offers you an interview that means you look good on paper and the interviewer wants to see more of your personality. Be confident, be yourself, and good luck!

Attington rejects virtual reality video games and reality television sponsorship offers, instead choosing to take the moral high ground and surf for the fun of it. One day, while out on the surf, the waves suddenly stop and stay that way, a worst nightmare for any surfer. The wave drought causes Attington to lose his big sponsorship deals, forcing him to either give in to the virtual reality world or wait around for the waves to come. Also starring Woody Harrelson, Scott Glenn, Willie Nelson, and Alexie Gilmore. The Pride caught up with Surfer, Dude director S.R.

Whatever those things are. We're going to be a proverbiallyflabbysociety in our minds. When a machine breaks, some people are stunned. They're done. If the computer breaks, people go crazy. Somebody's Blackberry goes out and they're lost. I don't know what to do. How does your lead character in the film (Attington) reflect what is going on in the world today? S.R.B.—How does a nature guy, someone that is tapped into nature, deal the fact that his nature gets taken away from him? We use the waves as metaphor to nature. Nature goes away. For Attington, the waves go away. M.M.—He's landlocked. Stuck in a world where the only thing that makes sense is this digital world and his only access to get the thing that he loves, this very natural thing called a wave, is to go down and live in this 'reality' house—to digitize himself for thisfreesurfer game. He's not a moralist going 'No, I don't like that.' He's just going 'That's really not for me, man. I'm a surfer out there, under the sun. I'm not really into that.' You look at reality TV now. Its this huge craze and hugely successful but we all know it's not real. Its false drama and we love watching it and it's a turn on but its not really happening. I've never seen The Hills. The Food Network's got some good ones. S.R.B.—How would a guy who is authentic deal with these inauthentic realities? We thought that would be an interesting juxtaposition. M.M.—Every surfer's worst nightmare is when they're stuck and there's no waves. So, they can go and they've all been there before. They can go laugh at me going crazy and know that when they get out of the theater hopefully there's some swell of their own. So, in that way, it is an—not anti-surf film—but a non-surf film. We surf in the beginning and then the waves go away. So you wore the same board shorts for the whole movie? M.M.—It was the greatest wardrobe ever. He's (Attington) not even coherent that maybe there's that manners and grace that you should wear a shirt indoors. He doesn't even think that way. He's in the office, no shirt, shoes. He doesn't even notice. We asfilmmakersnever made a connotation or note to it. So that's part of our humor as well. People may go 'Oh McConaughey's got His shirt off again,' but that's what's kind of funny about it. I did it a whole movie, all the way through. It was great. What makes this a good movie for the fall? M.M.—We're trying to catch the end of summer and hopefully give you some of that Sunkist fun. Surfing is sort of a backyard sport in San Diego. Why should surfers go see this movie? GRADUATE P SYCHOLOGY PROGRAMS • APA-accredited Psy.D.

Koga's petite f rame hiding the deep waters of creativity flowing beneath. Koga is a senior in the Literature and Writing program here at CSUSM with an emphasis in writing. When asked what inspired her to write she confesses that a school report written by her sister on the i nfamous Bonnie and Clyde, Koga learned that Bonnie was a poet and that attracted her to poetry. Photo by Kathryn McBrayer/The Pride From there the writings of E.E. Cummings, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Jim Morrison, Jack Kerouac "helped steer [her] writing in different directions, and exposed [her] to different techniques that never crossed my mind before." Although Koga's main form of expression is poetry she has recently been exploring screen writing and the novel. Koga hopes to own a publishing company and be able to support herself with writing. Before the publishing end of writing takes her main focus away Koga wants to complete an MFA in creative writing but insists, "no matter where my publishing company/MFA plans take me, I will always be writing." Koga began creatively writing at around the age of 12 and admits that it has been an "essential form of communication." Writing for Koga is not achieved in the textbook classical form of development. Koga writes in stream of consciousness and uses words as a source for emotional expression. Koga says o fthe writing process, "Most of the time I sit down with a blank brain and see what comes out." Koga enjoys poetry for they way a "singular word will express whole sen- tences or paragraphs of meaning." Koga is less thrilled with the revision process of poetry because she finds it can be a tremendous e ffort. Koga usually will write a piece and hedge self-editing until a few months later. Koga allows the poem/story per- colate in her mind and then go back to it for editing. Wherever the writing/publishing world takes Koga f rom CSUSM its safe to say the j ourney has j ust begun. A sampling of Koga's poems can be found in the " Pride" on line.

Held in the East Village, behind Petco Park, this all-ages event attracted alcohol enthusiasts, parents with their pre teen youngster and a variety of eccentric indie rockers together for the love of music. Friday's lineup hosted more alternative sounds then years before, such as headlining act Beck. Cat Power and MGMT were also big names on the line up for Friday.

Later on in the night, MGMT, a band whose trendy 80's beats are very much keen to the Flaming Lips melodic tones, took the Zarabanda Stage at 5:45 PM and played a 45 minute set. The stage was set at the end of a narrow street, which was lined with apartment complexes, which did not help with the acoustics, ings, the fest is begging to be heard. And so it was. Saturday seemed to flow more smoothly than Friday. The food was prepared more quickly, the bands started and ended on time, the traffic was better. It seemed that after only one day the festival was familiar to people, a short lived home awayfromhome. The four stages, named after popular music venues around San Diego, were rooted in the streets, becoming a part of the neighborhood. As the second half of bands began around 4:30, the weather was noticeably cooler than the day before, a sharp contrast against the heat of the lights and warmthfromthe sea of bodies. The Whigs kicked the doors open with their own brand of classic radio rock. Their set woke people up and excitement was back in the air.

Starting at 10:45 PM, Beck was on the biggest stage, the Fulano Stage, where they played an hour and 15 minute life changing set. But Street Scene is more than just music, on Friday, the streets werefilledwith local artwork showcased for sale, local and imported fashion was displayed, as well as the popular beer gardens scattered around the street These features enhance street scene's laidback reputation, though tickets for a two day pass were $95, and parking for a bargain was $20, inside the scene was relaxed with good food, good beer, and good music . the whole crowd moving, and Cold War Kids, cycling through decades of rock in their genre twisting set. As the night began to draw to a close, out with the moon came the headlining acts to top of the festival. The National closed out the Fulana stage, their inspirational set being a highlight of the day for many fans. Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's new wavers Devo hit the stage, bringing nostalgia into the new millennium with style. As thefinalnotes of their set rang around the festival, it seemed to be a perfectfitto an event that has been going on for 24 years, where genres of the past and present collide, creating an atmosphere of musical bliss.

Whether it be March 2, April 5, or you simply don't remember, an anniversary is a time to celebrate a union with your partner and reflect on all the great and not so great times you've had with one another. Let's focus more on the happier side of a relationship's anniversary, which raises the question: What makes a good anniversary? For starters, remembering it makes for a great anniversary already. Society, the media, and just general word of mouth has shown us all that forgetting an anniversary could lead to more than a few nights on the coach (and lord knows that's uncomfortable). Even though I'm currently drilling the idea of letting people know to never forget an anniversary, what about the idea of knowing when to celebrate and how? What should many do for their significant others and how often? And the answer is: it's up to you. Honestly, it's up to you lo decidewhen and how often you decide to celebrate an anniversary. Don't be a creeper. Celebrating every week might be a little much. You might as well be waiting outside their window with a boom box, playing Niki FM by Hawthorne Heights (anybody else remember that song?). Personally, I try celebrating every month, and by celebrating it, I mean acknowledging it and maybe getting a nice lunch or dinner. We're all on a budget s o let's not go completely all out How do you know when to go all out? Usually, it's best to really plan something nice out for an anniversary every six months. Typically, a six-month, one-year, etc. anniversary is the best time to acknowledge this unity. Making it to six months or a year are quite the accomplishments, so why not let him/her know that you still care about them after all that time? When it comes to anniversaries that celebrate at least six months of togetherness, make sure to make it meaningful instead of something that you think they might want Yes, I'm sure all people could think of the most romantic thing they could ever hope for (eating donuts and bacon off your lover's body, anyone?), but it may not always be the best choice. While a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant followed by dancing and a long walk on the beach may seem like the perfect idea, it could also be the most cliché. I mean, anybody could think that just by watching an episode of "Friends." Make it meaningful, find something that you both love, and make it your own. You both like astronomy, ice cream, and relaxing? Then go somewhere secluded withatelescope and picnic basket full of Ben & Jerry's, and just star gaze. It is romantic and something that you both love, so why not enjoy something you both have an affinity for? Either that or you could go to a dinner and a show (ifthat's the case, why not go to Benihana? Where dinner is the show?). Film and television makers tossed around the term "mockumentary" in the mid 20th century, but it was not until 1984, when Rob Reiner made "This is Spinal Tap," that there was concrete mainstream mockumentary. Now, mockumentaries are seemingly everywhere in theaters and on television. A mockumentary is a fictitious film or television program shot like a documentary and attempts to look realistic. The results are often comedies in a British style, which is subtler than outlandish humor popular in the U.S. Through the 1990's, some directors produced the occasional mockumentary, but Christopher Guest truly proliferated the genre. Guest, who starred in "This is Spinal Tap," first made "Waiting for Guffman," a fictional documentary about a small town producing a play for the area's sesquicentennial. Guest has also given us fictional documentaries about the obscure, such as dog shows in liRestin. Show" and a folk rock reunion in "A Mighty Wind." As a result of Guest's work, a new wave of actors and directors continue to expand the mockumentary. Ricky Gervais created the BBC comedy ' The Office" as a mockumentary about office life. His series exploded to spin off in several different countries, including the U.S. version starring Steve Carell. Sasha Baron Cohen is also a maverick with the mockumentary. First, he had success in the U.K. and U.S. with "Da Ali G Show," where he played three journalist characters. Cohen took one of them, Borat, to the big screen, which became a controversial and challenging comedy. He looks like he will continue this as the trailer for afilmabout another of his characters, Bruno, came out recently. The genre also encompasses serious films, such as "Cloverfield," "Quarantine," and "The Blair Witch Project." These action horror films tell the story by making the camera part of the story. The singular perspective creates tension and only the film footage can tell the story in the end. The mockumentary is a unique deviant in the comedy genre, though it not limited to humor. It uses silence and awkward moments rather than laugh tracks and extraordinary circumstances. Thanks to innovated filmmakers, this breed of humor has flourished and should continue to do so for the audience's delight.

President's photo should be and leaving us to wonder, The Pride might have explained why there were no results for the ASI President. I can't see why The Pride's thriving Arts & Entertainment section is more important than who will be leading the ASI in the next term. A fter all, the issues of tuition and fee increases are not trivialities and must merit at least the same attention as the reviews featured in this issues massive A&E section. With four pages of A rts & Entertainment, plus a f ull page of columns, a f ull page of classifieds/ads, The Pride's lack of coverage on the election is conspicuous. Until this issue, I didn't think that a quarter-page mention of the presidential results was too much to ask. The Pride has a unique responsibility to inform the student population, and currently the paper is not meeting that responsibility.

Career Center Director, this is "approxiStudents should have a resume to share mately 60% of our usual t urn out due to the with the employer, printed on quality economy. In the past, we have had as many bonded paper. The "Students often under estimate the importance of first impressions, their attire and having a professional resume that markets them well at a j ob fair. They have j ust a few seconds to make a lasting impression and we see some horrible resumes. Applicants need to take time in preparing for their j ob search and utilize resources such as the Career Counselors in the Career Center in Craven Hall 1400," Gaschler says. According to a Career Builder survey in March 2009, 38% of H R Managers spend 1-2 minutes reviewing a new application. That is very little time for the resume to grab their attention and give them valid reason to schedule the candidate for an interview. Gaschler relates that many students j ust drop by sort of window shopping, looking for what they want but walk away if they don't see it right off. Students need to understand this is a networking opportunity. Other opportunities are available either as a college graduate or later in their career path if they j ust get their foot in the door. Students looking for work in a global company with their degree in marketing or global business management may overlook companies like Wells Fargo who have global opportunities. Employers such as large banks have high volume recruiting roles. They are developing positions that are entry level and may or may not require a college degree for their pool of talent. They often promote into other positions within the company as well. Positions such as a Human Resource Assistant or Human Resource Manager are not necessarily presented at a j ob fair, however the company representative may know who to put a student or alumni in contact with for such an opportunity. On the j ob fair, Gaschler adds, "It is about networking and good first impressions."

MOGIL Pride Staff Writer It is fitting on this week of Passover that we take a look at our f amily favorite Seder flick. Seder is t he celebration dinner of Passover. Combine this with a fine new release featuring Jim Carrey and blend in a mixed Britcom bowl of nuts and you have a great week of entertainment. "When D o We Eat?" is a film which t urns the Passover Seder on its head and provides a hilarious insiders take on this very holy tradition. If you are not Jewish, t his film will provide some real insights as to why we are all so neurotic and find ourselves using humor as the cure for all that ails us. Michael Lerner leads the Seder as Ira Stuckman, a Christmas ornament manufacturer, and his w ife Peggy is played by Lesley A nn Warren. If ever you wanted a case study on a dysfunctional family dynamic, this film doesn't simply scratch the s urface, it scratches t hrough every layer of paint and gouges half way through t he metal below. The Stuckmans have five grown children. Meredith Scott Lynn p ortrays Jennifer, t he gay daughter b y I ra's first w ife. M ax Greenfield plays E than, w ho h as f ound God in t he w ake of the collapse of h is Stock Market f ortune and ends u p bedding h is cousin Vanessa, a sultry A- celebrity publicist played by Mili Avital. Daughter N ikki is a . sex surrogate, Zeke is a druggy, and Lionel is, w ell... watch the film. Jack Klugman plays the grandfather who has carried h is "survival" suitcase with h im everywhere for the past 60 years. A s a holocaust survivor, h e k nows that " the b astards" could come and t ake you anytime. T he story z ooms through the Passover celebration j ust as one might find at any reform celebration, yet in every manner elevated, higher and closer to God. T his film is side splitting and at other times, very melancholy. T he actors, story and emotions you share with this film seem genuine throughout and the acting is never forced and u ntrue t o the story. O ne most surprising aspect of this film is the aesthetic. T he colors leap f rom the screen, and at times the sound quality is divine. Welcome to t he table, pull u p a seat, and enjoy the spectacle. A fter we can search for the a fi komen. Oy, this film is such a W hat to See **** " Yes Man" stars Jim Carrey as Carl A llen and Zooey Deschanel a s Allison. T he film is an adaptation of a b ook by D anny Wallace, a well-known British celebrity, writer, and producer. You w ill quickly see that t his is not a m ainstream Hollywood story. A fter v iewing t he trailer, m y expectations f or t his film w ere quite high. While the movie fell short of meeting those l ofty expectations, it was perhaps because the film delivered a very d ifferent vibe f rom what the trailer promised. Carrey provides all the insanity any viewer can handle as he attends a "Yes M an" seminar at the direction of his muse Nick. Nick almost magically reappears to help Carl find his lost life. Carl realizes that his life is not going well and becomes a "Yes Man," saying yes to every opportunity that comes his way. From here the movie takes flight and soars. Bungee j umping, studying Korean, learning to play guitar, and giving of himself, Carl rediscovers life and he finds love in Allison. Deschanel is an actor that seems o ften to play characters that are not a stretch for her, yet she seems so honest, real, and endearing that her p erformance, as here, is o ften key to m aking a given movie complete. There are no real weaknesses to be found in this movie, and the not so subtle life lesson is as important as they come. Consider this film to b e one of l ife's most f un instructional yideos. Watch, learn and enjoy. W hat t o See **** "The IT Crowd" television series on DVD is a personal new discovery. It even has a tie in with "Yes Man," as Danny Wallace played a character named Paul in the pilot episode of this series. British comedy cannot b e easily defined, and it is not easily contained. From "Benny H ill" to "Monty P ython" to "Absolutely Fabulous," there is nothing to tie the wide variety of humor together apart f rom the British accent. Sometimes locating great foreign television can b e a great challenge. This time, " IT" was in my Netfiix "Movies You'll Love" section. Even better was that " IT" is an instant play selection. Chris O'Dowd is Roy, a loud Irish tech who at times misses many important and subtle signals as life plays out before h im. Richard Ayoade plays Maurice ' Moss' Moss. Ayoade writes, acts, and directs, and here, Moss is simply short on the brainpower needed to provide excellent IT support to anyone. He is not stupid, but a bit d aft. These two fine specimens of IT support work in a basement and are overseen by the computer illiterate IT department head Jen, played with great zeal by Katherine Parkinson. W hile t he pilot is cute and f un, it seems t hat each new episode I watch gets progressively more biting, m ore outrageous, and more f un t o watch. You might say t hat t his is t he television equivalent of a cup of Starbucks c offee w ith an added big splash of laughs. T he first t aste gets you h ooked, and each additional episode p ulls you in deeper. W hat t o S ee **** D oves BY A MY SALISBURY Faces and Places Editor There's a reason bands open for other bands. Most of the time, it's simply because they're just not good enough to get a headlining tour of their own. They have their managers put in a good word at the record label, and join up with bands surpassing their musical aptitude with the hopes of putting another good word in with the fans. The attempts aren't always successful. Unless the venue is standing room only, chances are, most concertgoers won't arrive until the main act takes the stage. You can imagine my surprise when the opening act at a certain concert happened to trump the band I planned on loving. I'd heard of Doves before this day, but hadn't given them much of a second thought. No doubt they were just another English Indie band riding The Beatles' coattails, right? Not quite. Doves formed in 1998 after Jez and Andy Williams' band, Sub Sub, dissolved W ebsite o f The W e e k Image courtesy of Fmylife.com after 13 years. After Jimi Goodwin joined the duo, Doves released three EPs. In 2000, theirfirstalbum, "Lost Souls," garnered much critical praise. Though Doves had consistent radio play in the UK, their fan base failed to cross the pond. In 2002, the band released "The Last Broadcast." Still, Doves flew under the radar. Their third album, "Some Cities," shot up to number 1 on the Billboard UK charts and finally caught attention in America. Key tracks like "Black and White Town" and "Sky Starts Falling" catalyzed Doves' success, and allowed them to open for bands including Coldplay, U2, and Oasis. "Darker," off "Lost Souls," is exactly that. The song starts off with an affected, electronic bass line. A lead guitar slices through ethereal lyrics. Each note is chaotic yet crafted, weaving a melody of intricacies with just enough light to express just how cold the "bad snow" is. Doves released their fourth studio album, "Kingdom ofRust," on April 9. They are currently headlining an international tour through midJune. Catch the band in Southern California on May 14 at House of Blues, San Diego, May 15 at House of Blues, Anaheim, and May 16 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer At the start of this semester, the Civility Campaign was organized and founded on the CSUSM campus. The campaign, led by the Dean of Students Office, promotes the essence of community and the Values needed to reach a strengthened sense of community. This idealistic community is said to be reached through the practice of a set of values and respect. 'The university strives to be a community demonstrating respect for oneself and for others, treatment of others with dignity, and behaviors which promote a physically and psychologically safe, secure and supportive climate enabling | ^ all community members to engage as full and active ] participants where the free flow of ideas are encouraged and affirmed/' the Civility Campaign page on the CSUSM website states. The campaign's committee consists of roughly 15 members comprised of CSUSM faculty, staff and students. The committee lives by a pledge which states, "As a member of the CSUSM community I will conduct myself with care, respect, and empathy awarded to the winners of an opportunity drawing. On the Civility webpage, students are also encouraged to nominate any CSUSM faculty, staff while acknowledging the culture and humanity of others." During U-Hour on the first Tuesday of every month, the Civility Campaign hosts a tshirt day in which free shirts are and students who display civility on campus.

Another form of the Christmas celebration exists in the Catholic tradition. While many Christmas celebrations pay tribute to the birth of Jesus, Catholic celebrations express a form of preparation for the second coming of the Lord. According to the Catholic Education Resource Center, "The Catholic Church has designated the four weeks preceding Christmas as Advent, a time to 'prepare the way of the Lord.'" The Catholic Education Resource Center also lists in great detail many activities of Advent. Each activity including the Advent wreath, the blessing of the tree and the Christ and Mary candles act as a symbol of the faith of the Catholic Church. Hanukkah is a Jew- ish holiday that is celebrated for Kwanzaa, a cultural holiday eight days and nights. established in 1966 by "[Hanukkah] starts on the 25 Dr. Maulana Karenga of of the Jewish month of Kislev, CSU Long Beach, takes which coincides with late place from Dec. 26 - Jan.

Fox also suggests that the celebrator identify his or her indi*vid- ual purpose for celebrating, whether that may be to strengthen family bonding with one another, adjust family to Nature's cycles or to just have fun, as well as many other reasons Fox lists. These different celebrations that take place during this holiday season display diversity in culture that presently exists in American lifestyle. Artificial vs. live Christmas trees What do you prefer? 4 Jessie Gambrell Pride Staff Writer IMB d? A p\ VI tc in Do you prefer the Christmas tree smell and excitement of picking a live tree each year or the consistency and convenience of an artificial Christmas tree? People have different opinions on the matter because it's related to family traditions. "Its easier to have a fake tree. I grew up with a real tree til [sic] my parents got lazy," student Adam Dettelbach said. According to Art Espinoza, "The Christmas Tree Guy," at Home Depot in Oceanside, artificial trees are fairly easy to assemble, last longer than live Christ- mas trees and are energy efficient. Though there are many pros to artificial trees, some people still prefer real ones. "I like real Christmas trees, if they stay alive. I mean sure fake Christmas trees will save you in the long run, but they take up so much space in storage and you have to assemble them," student Chandra Charette said. Artificial Christmas trees do not have the beloved pine smell and tend to be pricey. It's also a hassle to assemble and disassemble the artificial tree each year, let alonefinda place to store it. Still, people have their own traditions when it comes to Christmas trees. According to tree farmer Bill Warren of Mission Pines Christmas Trees in Fallbrook: live Christmas trees are fresh, have that wonderful "Christmas" smell and you get the pleasure of going out and picking your own Christmas tree. There are a few cons in buying a live tree. Since it is a tree, it's flammable, doesn't live long and makes a mess with pine needles. No matter how you feel on whether on the matter, it's up to you. "Christmas is not Christmas without the real Christmas tree," student Tara De Gaetano said. Professor Spotlight Jennifer Lynch Classes: G eneral E ducation O ral C ommunication (GEO).

Every year since 1890, Pasadena (located in the Los Angeles County, 2 hours away from San Marcos) housed traditional floats made entirely out of flowers as well as the "Rose Bowl" game, which consists of the top colle- giate college teams in the U.S. Marching bands, floats and people come from all over the country to partake in this historic event, camping out days ahead of time in Old Town Pasadena, with tents and blankets along the parade trail throughout the streets of the historic city. Guests for the Rose Parade include the mayor of Pasadena and the Grand Marshallr as well as the Rose Princesses and Queen, high school students who have been chosen from a cohort of 12th grade females, who have auditioned to represent the Tournament of Roses as Pasadena's queen. * Beginning bright and early on Jan. 2 at 8 a jn., the 123rd Rose Parade will make its journey throughout Pasadena to present the work of thousands who devote the entire year to the debut of their floats. The Rose Parade is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year by joining those who travel from all over the country to welcome another year of life. However, if you already have plans in celebrating the New Year elsewhere, you can always watch the televised version of the Parade on any network channel, all day long Jan. 2.

No, I won't be finished with finals. No, I won't be going on a tropical vacation. Actually, I'm going to the Ellen DeGeneres Show for her Twelve Days of Giveaways. So far, it's looking way better than a trip to Hawaii. If you think you just show up at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank on the day of the show's taping, you would be wrong. Attending the Ellen show is a process which must be followed to the letter. Those who attend the Twelve Days of Giveaways must be invited by Ellen herself, a treat I received back in April of 2011. My mom—a die-hard Ellen fan—scored tickets to a taping of the Ellen show on April 20 and, of course, invited yours truly. Fortunately, the guest packet mailed prior to the show outlines the dos and don'ts of an Ellen audience member. If you're late, you're out. If you're without ID, you're out. If you're a convicted criminal, you're out (seriously— the Ellen show conducts preshow background checks on its audienôe). Once you find yourself on the Ellen soiundstage, chances are, y ou'll there to stay. Before you go into the studio, you have to walk through what Ellen c au^ne "riff raff' room. This is where the stand-by people who show up the day of the show go if there were no cancellations or open seats in the audience. It is actually Ellen's very beautiful and well appointed gift shop, outfitted with memorabilia and several large HD TVs for remote viewing of the live show. •. The riff raff room leads the audience into the set as you see on TV. If you wear bright colors, you're more likely to get a seat toward the front of the stage as per the direction of thé audience managers. Also, I sure did see a lot of blondes in the front row. Not that I'm insinuating the Ellen show likes blondes better than brunettes or anything. Anyway, once you're seated, fun, hilarious people warm-up the audience pre-show and get you dancing—a lot. I'm talking outof-breath, sweaty, spastic, spontaneous dancing for a half hour before the show even begins. ' " T he^Ellen finally emerges. The crowd screams and cheers with what energy they have remaining as Ellen dances up and down the aisles. Before we knew it, the audience receives a $100 gift card to Rite Aid (score!). Then we got to see Reese Witherspoon talk about her movie "Water for Elephants," Paul Walker discuss something related to his career (all I recall is getting an advanced screening of a cologne commercial he was starring in) and a young Justin Bieber wanna be called Jackson Guthy perform a song that is still stuck in my head: L-O-V-I-N-G. Overall, i t was a pretty entertaining group. i; Throughout the whole show, Ellen kept teasing us with iPad stories. Every single person thought we were going to get an iPad by the end of the show.

The tease seemed endless. Suddenly, she announced that each audience member was getting a guaranteed ticket to one of her Twelve Days of Giveaways shows in December. The audience exploded with applause, and my family and I talked about what would happen at that December taping for months on end. As an experienced Ellen show attendee, I'd like to offer a few tips to consider during your preshow preparation if you are the next lucky winner of Ellen tickets. First, don't wear dark colors. If you must, wear a black sweater and perhaps a bright scarf with it. Second, practice your dance moves, and don't be tempted to use all your energy during the audience warm-up. Keep your movements controlled. Railing around on TV does not translate well. You may think you are dancing "cute," but big, unchoreographed moves, can look alarmingly like a seizure. I would like for Christmas: I draw almost everyday, managing with the pens and pencils that I also use for school.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer In the common Christmas-eelebrating household, the traditions of reciting "The Night Before Christmas" or reading Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" often take place. Rarely, and sadly, does one hear about a tradition of reading Truman Capote's heartwarming short story "A Christmas Memory." Set in Alabama in the 1930s and inspired by his childhood, Capote tells the story of a Christmas he shared with his friend, Miss Sook, an aging woman in her sixties. Capote's portrayal of his seven year-old self called Buddy is sweet, but the real charm is in his relationship with Miss Sook, whom he refers to as "my friend." Despite her age, Miss Sook is very much a child herself. Together, they touch the lives of those around them, including a Mr. Haha Jones (ironically nicknamed this because of his serious disposition). The reader cannot help but feel touched, as well. In the Modern Library edition of "A Christmas Memory," you will also find the short stories "One Christmas" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" which also feature Capote's Buddy and Miss Sook. "One Christmas" tells of a trip Buddy takes to stay with his father in New Orleans for the holiday and "The Thanksgiving Visitor" tells of Buddy's school bully nemesis being invited to Thanksgiving dinner. While his stories possess a I nerdiest gifts for the holidays child-like charm, Capote counters this with a very dark and personal tone which lies below the surface of the text. In a tragic life and upbringing specifically, we can be grateful that Capote had someone like Miss Sook to impart her love and wisdom upon him, a gift that will surely resonate with the reader.

There is something special about grocery aisles blasting yuletide hits we^all grew up with, This issue's playlist is dedicated to Christmas music that warms our hearts as we prepare for this holiday season. You can't start the holiday season off without listening to "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by the amazing Gayla Peevey. This song is both catchy and cute and was the primary reason I asked for a hippopotamusior Christinas every year. Chris Giancamilli "^^HHj^Hp* Pride Staff Writer ^^^ O ne of the toughest parts of the holiday season is finding just the right gift for that s pecial'someone in our lives. Sometimes, the best gift is the o ne that is absolutely i mpractical a nd serves no real purpose other t han to b ecome a new addition in a nerdy collection of toys a nd g adgets. There a re a few e asy things to k eep in mind w hen c hoosing a g ood g eek gift. First off, g eeks love gifts from their favorite licensed v ideo g ame, TV, film a nd c omic series. Next, g eeks enjoy t echnical toys (robots, mechanisms, e tc.). Finally, g eeks like weird things that you c an't find a t a ny old d epartment store. This holiday season, p ick up something a bit more u nconventional rather than the standard v ideo g ame or D VD b ox set. Here's a few examples to help g et those motors running. One of the best parts of Christmas decorations is realizing you are standingrightunder mistletoe with someone you care about. This brings me to the next song, "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber. Not only is his voice sweet, but so is his heart. All proceeds from his Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe11 wenfto charity. Speaking of sweet voices, Michael Bubie's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from his new holiday album, "Christmas," is a must listen to. His jazz style and velvet voice will make you want to cuddle near afireplacewith your special "someone." Speaking of cuddling, Glee's version of "Baby, it's Cold Outside," a duet between characters Blaine and Kurt is a romantic song that musically captivates us to continue listening as we anticipate the character's future relationship. Another traditional song remake from Glee's second volume Christmas album is "Little Drummer Boy" sung by Artie? a character with a rough, but angelic voice for this year's 1 : C h r i s t m a s episode. One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Believe" by Josh Groban from: "The Polar Express" soundtrack. Groban's amazing voice beautifully captures the Christmas spirit as he reminds uS to believe in the magic that surrounds us every day. v: In conclusion to this holiday playlist is none other than "Santa, Baby" originally recorded by Eartha Kitt, a provocative holidayJaVorite. m il Marshmo llow Shooters ($19.86-$29.99, ThinkGeek.com & Amazon.com) | * Iwk V For the g eek that has everything, marshS j f c j mallow shooters c an b e a q uick a nd c heap W f p gift that p acks plenty of entertainment.

XXIII N O. 5 M an arrested in connection with d isappearance of local teenage girl BY BEN ROFFEE News Editor The search for Chelsea King, a local high school girl that disappeared last week, will resume this week despite treatment of the case by local law enforcement as a homicide. King, a 17 year-old Poway resident, disappeared while on a run at Rancho Bernardo Park near Lake Hodges Thursday evening. Authorities have already identified a suspect in connection with King's disappearance. According to Bill Gore of the San Diego County Sheriffs Department, officers apprhended John Albert Gardner III Sunday afternoon outside of Hernandez Hide-A-Way, a restaurant in the small Lake Hodges community known as Del Dios. Gardner, a 30 year-old registered sex offender, now faces charges of first-degree murder and rape by force. At a press conference last evening, Sheriff Gore said, "evidence was discovered to link Gardner to Ms. King in such a manner as to warrant his arrest." Though the Sheriffs department would not elaborate, physical evidence linking Gardener to the crime has been found in the area where Chelsea King disappeared. Chelsea's mother, Kelly King, told reporters on Monday that investigators identified Gardner's elsea [858] 513-2800 5*5** 115 LBS PETITE BUILD - STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR LAST SEEM 2/25/10 IN RUNNING CLOTHES DNA on victim's underwear found near Lake Hodges.

Paul Levikow from the San Diego County District Attorney's office said, "There are murder cases that get tried without a body. There is one going on now." Parents Brent and Kelly King insist they will continue to search fortheir daughter, aided by friends and volunteers from around the community. Those involved in the search have relied heavily on social networking sites like Image courtesy ofthe King Family Facebook and Twitter to spread up to date information. Those interested in volunteering can go to Chelsea King Search Center located at 11858 Bernardo Plaza Court.

The Carlsbad-based company In Motion Inc. is organizing the event, which is due to start on the Mangrum Track on campus at 8am. Hugo Lecomte is director of Campus Recreation on campus, which is helping co-host the event. Lecomte said, "The running event is going to be one of the best ones because we have a very strong company helping us, a company with a lot of experience. It's a very easy event—if you don't feel like running you can walk it. It's a cheap price for this event, so it might be yourfirstopportunity as a student to participate to a running event."

The lead actors are a little more difficult to predict. Colin Firth won the BAFTA for Best Actor for "A Single Man," but I think Jeff Bridges will take the Oscar for his role in "Crazy Heart."

It will come down to if the Academy wants to award Gabourey Sidibe, for her breakout role in "Precious," Carey Mulligan, for a well-rounded performance in the coming-of age story "An Education," or Sandra Bullock, for her years of work in Hollywood leading up to her performance in "The Blind Side." But the big winner is going to be "The Hurt Locker." This summer indie film passed more people by, but it is cleaning up at other award ceremonies. Not only will it win for its screenplay, editing, cinematography, and sound, but 1 guarantee it will win Best Picture and Director. I doubt the other likelyfilm,James Cameron's "Avatar," will top Kathryn Bigelow's story of the bomb squad in Iraq.

It's mostly on trails and it's a very big challenge because there is a lot of elevation gain so it's a big race for heart rate," said Lecomte. Both the races are due to start at 8 AM. However, the students running in the 11km race will be released in a series of waves and not all at once. The event also allows faculty, staff, and the outside community to take part. There is also reason for those who do not which to compete to come to the event. "Everybody can sign up to be a volunteer, also on the website, so if they don't want to register to race or to run or to walk, they can always volunteer for this event," said Lecomte. There will also be a festival at the event, which involves venders, food and music by The North County Cowboys. A portion of the event's proceeds will go to the Cal State San Marcos Athletics Department. ident Stephen Weber in attendance.

According to county officials and North County Times, 165,000 locals are now collecting food stamps. Along with evaluations, students will also be helping provide the families with free tax preparation services.

Here at California State University of San Marcos, students who smoke take up a significant portion of the student population. In 2005, based on a new state law, from Title 8 California Code of Regulations section 5148, has affected how CSUSM views oncampus smoking. On the CSUSM campus, there are nine designated smoking areas for students, faculty, and staff to use. This law means that at CSUSM smokers can only smoke in designated areas. Students can experience many harmful affects from smoking or from exposure to second-hand smqke. Cathy Nguyen, CSUSM's health educator, said, "There are many risks associated with cigarette smoking. According to The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General, smoking causes approximately: 90% of all lung cancer deaths in men, 80% of all lung cancer deaths in women, and 90% of deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease. "The adverse health effects from cigarettes smoking accounts for an estimate of nearly one of every five deaths or 443,000 deaths in year in the US. Besides lung cancer and an increase in coronary heart disease," Nguyen said, "smoking can cause respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airway obstruction." All of these health risks associated with smoking could affect any student here at CSUSM, whether lighting up or from exposure to second-hand smoke. Another factor as to why students light up deals students who socially smoke with peers. Nguyen also provided information about CSUSM and the students that are lighting up. She said, "According to the National College Health Association results from a survey that was administered to CSUSM students in the Spring of 2009, 64% of our student population does not smoke and has never smoked a cigarette. Of the 36% of students that have used cigarettes, only 15% of that group has smoked a cigarette within the last 30 days." This data shows that over half the student population is not lighting up. According to data only, the social aspect of smoking does not necessarily affect CSUSM students. With less than half of the student population smoking at CSUSM, it is important to understand how some of student body sees smoking on campus. Chris Rahn, CSUSM Student, said, "The designated smoke areas on campus aren't strategically placed. Every day I walk by smok- ers to and from my classes and car. As a student here at CSUSM I wish I did not have to be around smoking on such a regular basis." Another student, Tiffany Walker, had a different opinion. Walker said, "Smoking on campus doesn't bother me. As long as students are smoking outside, they can do as they please.

"I think it will bring a lot of awareness to the situation. I'm pretty sure [teachers] aren't allowed to talk about it, or they're not supposed to be giving their opinions [about] the matter. I understand that the teachers have lots of stressful things; they have to do research and maintain the classes that they teach. They have a lot of work to do. I understand that." "I think it's important for the teachers to have their time to have what they need to say and I think it's a good idea that they stream it in class to get everybody else aware, all their students aware of everything, because we are in hard times. So, I think the teachers need to say what they need to say. I probably will go, yes." "Well, honestly, I think it great that they are doing this because I think that the teachers [they] already, like, put so many extra hours into, like, being a professor that aren't paid for.

Taking a closer look at CSUSM's first radio station and the students inside the studio and on the airwaves, Thi Pride got the privilege of having a Q&A with the maker behind CSUSM College Radio. V=The Pride RV= Rosario Vizcaino, President of CSUSM College Radio. P: whose idèa was it to start a college radiò station? RV: "I started CSUSM College Radio in the fall of 2008 with the help of my classmate Ryan Mcelroy. It initially started as an idea for a class project, which unfortunately was dropped by our professor and a few classmates because it wouldn't meet the requirements for the assigned project at that time." i*It wasn't over for me just yet I knew there was no on my server and immediately CSUSM radio station and setup a media that we would be the first students to come up with it." P: How did the project evolve and get developed? RV: I recruited my classmate Ryan Mcelroy, who is one of the founders and the current treasurer of CSUSM College Radio. We immediately went forward with the process of forming a club, which was finalized at the end of November in 2008. With the minimal support we initially had, I had then decided that col1ege r adio w ould happen no matter what. P: How did you start a radio station from scratch? RV: "I acquired the domain name and created a web page for the radio station. I hosted it s treaming service. With the help of Ryan, I made a simple design that would be easy to use and yet it would be robust. We tested it and loved it." "With no expectations of the outcome, we then went over to Student Life and Leadership on campus and made a live demo which generated an immediate positive chain reaction. We had created the first CSUSM college radio, which by the way it has been granted full status as an organized club on campus as of February of 2010." "Yes we are new and we plan to be here for a long time!" P: What is your m ission statement? RV: "By the s tudents for the students!" P: What type of radio s t a - tion would you consider yourself? RV: "CSUSM College Radio was founded with a purpose in mind and that is to encourage and promote cultural diversity on campus. So send us your request and if you feel you have the courage to talk on the radio email us collegeradio@csusm. info." P: How can students listen in and interact with college radio? RV: "Please go to www. csusm.info and send us your request through our contact page. You can chat with us or simply call us at (760) 6704131." P: What does college radio strive for in the future? What will become of college radio? RV: "College Radio is here to stay." P: What are unique projects will our college radio host? RV: "We will cover news, sports, current events and your favorite music." CSUSM College Radio primarily runs through online streaming, their interactive website offers video shows of the most recent student organization fair and they are eager to begin offering footage and live radio casting from sporting events.

The following game will be March 6 playing Chapman again with home field advantage at 2:00 PM. located at Escondido High School. "A lot of people don't know about CSUSM's baseball team. We love our fans, but we would love it if even more CSUSM students and fans could make it to pur games," said Eric Juliennif a current Senior. With the new Softball field built for the 2010 season, athletics on campus have gained support from stúdents/staff/fácülty. Now, the baseball team awaits their turn for a home field here on campus. Even with their home fields spread out around San Diego at Escondido High School, Poway High School, and Point Loma, the team's season thus far has shown a great amount of success and dedication. "I think our team should do pretty well this season though. Hopefully, we can make it to playoffs and win," continued Julienne.

Suddenly the town's residents By Bill Rhein /Senior Staff Writer "BITCH SLAP" BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer JJ cial aspect to this type of film is can it create the tension and the suspense? The crazies definitely delivers on this account, there are numerous scenes constructed purely on tension that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat. The slow build up of the music and the different use of camera angles create the tension needed to keep the audience focused for the' heart in your mouth' moment. If you are the kind of person that likes movies that make you 'jump out of your seat' then this one is for you, countless scenes can make the viewer leave their chair. So if you know your partner is a bit 'jumpy' then take them to see this, they'll be holding on to you for support all the way through. However, for me some of the scenes became a little predictable, as it was clear towards the end that the 'jump out of your chair' moment was coming, and as a result I wasn't surprised when it did.

Her case woken up the community, and raised awareness to make stricter laws monitoring registered sex offenders. For example, a sex offender can receive lifetime parole with a GPS tracking system so that offenders can be monitored for the rest of their lives. Before Chelsea's Law went into effect, there was monitoring of the parolees, but once their parole period ended, the tracking did too. Many speculator believe if more in depth monitoring was done in the case of Gardner, it possibly could have prevented the death of Chelsea King. Under Chelsea's Law, convicted sex offenders on parole are restricted from entering into any parks. Other rules include the evaluation of offenders under California's mentally disordered offender law when deemed necessary by assessment. The first San Diego case to be put on trial under Chelsea's law took place Sept 15. A registered sex offender was given 25 years to life in prison, when prior to Chelsea's law, he would have been given 15 years in prison. �NEWS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 2010 EDITORIAL STAFF Amy Salisbury Sandra Chalmers csusmpride#gmail .com ^ Featurés Editor Toria Bodden features .pride@gmail .com Aits and Entertainment Editpr Vanessa Chalmers artsandentertainment .pride @ gmail.com Copy Editor Amy Salisbury Artistic Design and Layout Jillian Kerstetter pridelayout@ gmail .com Sales Representative Sandra Chalmers pride_ads@csusm.edu Media Management Jenna Jauregui Pride Staff Photographer Aaron Jaffe Cartoonist Faith Orcino Pride Staff Writers Ashley Day Devörine Edora Chris Giancamilli Trixie Gonzalez Rebekah Greene , " ; - !

Just the word itself inspires a wealth of images: bountiful baskets of fresh-picked fruit, the warm scent of fresh-baked pie, and the crisp deliciousness of that first bite. An essential part of any fruit bowl, apples are chock-full of health benefits that can keep your immune system revved as we head into colder months. There's a reason why people say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Health food website whfoods.com says that an apple, especially the skin, contains several antioxidants that support heart health. Containing only about 80 calories each, apples are a dieter's delight. Their high fiber content helps to suppress the appetite and control choles- terol levels. They help to stabilize blood sugar, and eating a raw apple can even help keep your teeth clean! Now that fall is upon us, apple-inspired recipes are enticing people to the cozy realm of their kitchens . September marks the peak of apple season, so now is the time to enjoy the fruit while it is in its prime. Here are two scrumptious ways to get that homey, nostalgic flavor of apple goodness without the hours of effort. Apple Pancakes * 1 cup flour * 3 eggs * 1 cup skim milk * 1 medium apple, cored and sliced in thin rings * cinnamon and nutmeg to taste Combine the flour, eggs, and milk until they form a creamy batter. Add the spices, and pour by VA cup measurements into a non-stick skillet. Place a few apple rings in each pancake before flipping. Serve immediately with hot maple syrup. Microwave Baked Apples * 2 medium apples, peeled and cored * 2 Tbsp. butter * 2 Tbsp. brown sugar * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp nutmeg * Vi cup raisins or dried cranberries * Vi cup graham cracker crumbs Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until crumbly. Place the apples in a deep microwavable dish with a tiny bit of water on the bottom. Sprinkle apples with the sugar crumble and more spices if needed. Stuff the cranberries or raisins into the hole where the core was. Cover with a lid and microwave for 3.5 to 4 minutes until tender. Cool slightly before serving. Top with graham cracker crumbs.

For this new album, the band worked with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, a notable producer who previously worked with the likes of AC/ DC and Bryan Adams (who also happens to be Shania Twain's ex-husband). "Hands All Over" blends the genres of funk and rock in familiar Maroon 5 fashion. The band toured the end of this past summer, and beginning Oct. 6, they will perform in many cities along the west coast (see http://www.maroon5.com/ shows/ for more show dates).

The plot of "The Town" is conventional and from the first scene follows along the expected path. However, where the film truly shines is the stellar acting amongst the ensemble cast, giving multiple facets to the characters. Playing Doug's father, Chris Cooper appears in just one very short scene and makes such an emotional impact with his performance that even Doug is stunned into silence by its strength. Jeremy Renner gives a volatile unpredictability to James, the friend who doesn't need a reason to beat a person near to death. Instead of playing the character one-dimensionally, Renner lends James a surprising vulnerability seen in his fierce loyalty and love for Doug. Jon Hamm as FBI agent Adam Frawley also makes his memorable mark on the film, playing an agent who may just be as psychologically dangerous as the criminals he pursues. Another notable performance PHOTOS COURTESYOFAMAZON.COM belongs to Pete Postlethwaite ("Inception"), playing the quietly intimidating crime boss who orchestrates the heists and the lives of those in his employ. Filmed on location in Boston, Ben Affleck seems to make all the right choices in "The Town." His creation of tension, not only within the heist scenes but within the dialogue, keeps the audience excited about a plot that they have more than likely seen many times before. While Affleck may be a weak point in the film in terms of his character being outshone, he certainly makes up for it by insuring the rest of the cast makes lasting impressions without stepping upon one another's performances. The promise that Affleck reflected in his 2007 directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" is completely confirmed and reinforced in "The Town," proving that his talent as afilmmakeris ever evolving, showing no signs of slowing down. "WALL S TREET: MONEY NEVER S LEEPS" BY MILA PANTOVICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER When Oliver Stone released "Wallstreet" in 1987, he introduced a film about stock markets that functioned very much like a political thriller. Now, 23 years later, Stone has released the long-awaited sequel, "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps." Like "Wallstreet," Stone places the sequel firmly in the middle of an economic crisis and uses the panic and confusion felt in the industry to give the story an edge that is felt personally, if only slightly understood, by many Americans. With visuals of stocks plummeting in a business that depends upon greed and dishonesty, Stone uses the story of a broken family as the backbone and heart of the film. "Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps" presents the economy as a series of fast-paced split screens, showing the rapid rise and fall of companies through cheesy animation and diagrams. Filming stock traders as if they are mobsters, Oliver Stone gives a sense of foreboding to board meetings filled with arrogant young traders who continue thinking they're in control of the rapidly declining market. Stone, himself, has a small cameo as a trader and Charlie Sheen returns as a retired GORDON GEKKO IS BACK!

With the separation of game developer Bungie and publisher Microsoft Game Studios, another "Halo" game created with the same craftsmanship and quality will likely never grace the Xbox 360 console. With that sobering fact in mind, "Halo: Reach" delivers where all the other "Halo" games fall short. "Halo: Reach" is the prequel to the "Halo" trilogy, directly preceding the events of the original game. The player takes on the role of a faceless Spartan soldier by the name of Noble 6. He begins the game as an unwanted replacement for Noble Team, an elite group of Spartan soldiers who aré no strangers to war. The story takes place on planet Reach, a heavily defended human world untouched by war. But when Noble Team is sent to investigate an attack by local militia, they discover that the Covenant, an alien race led by religious zealots that call for the annihilation of the human race, is to blame. What is initially believed to be an isolated attack soon turns into a planetary invasion of unimaginable force. What ensues is a battle for the very survival of the human race as Noble Team is sent repeatedly behind enemy lines to save the planet from total destruction. "Halo: Reach" is by far Bungie's best work in the "Halo" series, which shows with im- HAPPY HOUR OF THE WEEK Pizza Nova BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER Looking to chow down on comfort food and sip some local beer at a price a Cougar can afford, but don't want to stray far from campus? Head down Twin Oaks to the LA Fitness center. Pizza Nova's got you covered. The small San Diego chain's fourth location (and first in North County) opened its doors last year to little fanfare, but has slowly become a San Marcos favorite. As a prime-time lunch or dinner spot, Pizza Nova doesn't do things much differently than Sammy's Woodfired Pizza across town. But who cares which place has better dinner specials? We're talking happy hour, and a recent price drop at Pizza Nova has them looking like a real college town joint. They like to call it "$3 at 3." Weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m., dropping in won't set you back much unless you provements big and small found throughout the game. The most noticeable improvement is the graphics. The level designs are spectacular. Bungie used a cross between handpainted backgrounds and graphic animation to bring a new depth to the world. "Halo: Reach" escaped the confines of its predecessors by using much more diverse color schemes, which make the dramatic sequences pop that much more on the screen. To help draw the player deeper into the experience, Bungie pumped Noble Team with as much diversity as possible. Each Spartan is entirely unique and the player quickly grows attached to each member. But it isn't only the team members that get an overhaul, the player's character does so as well. Several key cut scenes have the player viewing events through Noble 6's eyes, bringing them so much closer to the action and the persona of Noble 6. The single player experience also includes highly upgraded enemies. Gone are the days when enemies' only tactic was to stand still and fire at the player. The enemies in "Reach" are given the same abilities and skill as the player, making the game much more challenging and exciting. Whether they are trying to flank behind the player's position, o r. sending in holograms to try and flush out the player, Noble 6 has his work cut out for him. But Bungie seemed to forget about the intelligence of the player's allies. On more than one occasion a hapless ally seemed to forget what they were doing, or decided that running the wrong way through a level was a good idea. There were also several instances where the ally seemed to get stuck at an invisible barrier, leaving Noble 6 alone in an enemy-infested area. Bungie took great care to throw in several new ways to spice up the single player campaign. Flying through space in a fighter jet protecting a space station from Covenant attack, flying between crumbling skyscrapers in a helicopter to rescue trapped Marines, or even dodging enemy fire to fix defensive turrets, Reach is sure to keep players at the edge of their seats with both gripping stoiy and perfected game play. "Halo: Reach" is available now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. stumble out shirtless (please don't, they are family friendly).

And with these pridelayout@gmail.com GPS devices, you can download coordinates and follow the GPS Sales to find hidden capsules, also Representative known as geocaches that are usually full of cool little trinkets. Geocaching was created in 2000 by computer consultant Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oreg. All he wanted to do was test the accuracy of his GPS by hiding a small canister with a few trinkets and a logbook in the woods near his house. After doing so, he uploaded the coordinates of the canister online, and asked people to try to find it. His Internet challenge was a great hit, and soon picked up speed all across the country and then the world. Today, geocaching has become a common social outing for groups of all ages. There are many great websites that allow for an easy download of geocache locations all over the country. Geocaching.com is one of the most well known sites. It utilizes Google Maps to help display the available geocaches, and allows people to comment and rate each geocache by difficulty and accuracy. In the San Marcos area alone, there are over 500 geocaches that are ready and waiting for teams of treasure hunters to find their hidden goodies. And when I say "goodies," know that it is a very loose term. I have found everything from bullet casings to a Fraggle Rock beer cozy. A common misconception with geocaching is that the GPS tells you exactly how to get to the geocache. That is so very far from the truth. It points to the exact location of the geocache, but it is up to the hiker to get there. Figuring out which trails lead to the geocache and how to find the geocache makes the experience that much more fun. The only deterrent to geocaching is the initial price of purchasing a GPS unit. I was at?le to find one on Amazon.com for under $75 that has worked extremely well during my geocaching excursions. And for those who aren't too sure about the small investment, try alternative GPS methods, such as a cell phone. While the GPS won't necessarily be as accurate, it will still provide you with a decent enough device to track down the geocaches. If you are looking for a great weekend activity in sunny San Marcos, grab a GPS and hit the trails. For more information, visit h ttp://www.geocaching.com.

Once you've learned your strengths, lypeFocus will teach you how to get the job of your dreams. There are two different types of tests you can take, a personality questionnaire and a success factor questionnaire. The personality questionnaire was created to assess your personality and help figure yourself out. This questionnaire consists of 66 questions, most of which ask you to pick one word that you think describes you best. The success factor questionnaire is made to assist students in understanding their grades and graduation rates. This questionnaire was made to help students understand the type of learners that they are. Some of the questions ask about grade point averages, studying habits, and majors. With this information, students will be able to learn how to succeed in school. In addition to these services, there are also events and workshops offered by the career center targeting students. These events are meant to inform and build knowledge about your personality traits. Two events to look out for in the near future are the Fall Career Expo taking place Oct. 5 2010, and the Job Search and Networking Event on Nov. 4, 2010.

Once admitted into the NCAA, Saia and his assistants will also have to follow strict guidelines regulating coach and player contact. So far the Cougars have 24 games scheduled in 2011-12, including eight at home. The eventual goal will be 30 scheduled games, Saia said, as well as to add a few more home games. Given that the new campus arena remains in the planning stages, the athletic department is still working on where to host home games. Possibilities include Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and local high schools, although a college would be preferred since high school courts have slight differences in size and would need to be adjusted. Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

If you think for one second that a film about Facebook will be a pitiful way of capitalizing on the popularity of the site, you couldn't be more wrong. David Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about the cracks within human nature. The film begins at Harvard with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) using his internet blog to lash out at the girl who dumped him. His drunken anger leads him to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system and bringing him to the attention of the Winklevoss rowing twins (both played by Armie Hammer). Mark is hired by the twins to create an elite dating site that every scene he appears in with a only Harvard students can sign vibrant energy that fills you with up for.

Speaking of beers, Stone Brewery offers an assortment of 34 beers on the menu, with 10 Stone-made brews. To get a feel for their flavor, die "Core Four" offers a preview of them at $5. As for specials, they have $1 off all beers from 4 to 6 p.m. Can't take beer straight? Eat it! Spud Buds are $7, and Brownie Sundaes are $10, boasting beer as an ingredient. Meatless Mondays are a hit, featuring fresh and locally grown produce. However, be prepared to spend some dough. While drinks are reasonably priced, the dinner menu ranges from $7 to $22. If you want more bang for your buck, buying a Growler is worth every penny. Buyers have a choice of purchasing a 1 or 2 liter jug ranging from $9.25 to $12 available for multiple refills with your beer of choice at the brewery during store hours. And if you want it to go, there's special parking just for that. With their ever changing menu, friendly staff, and some good beer, you'd be amazed that this is all tucked away in Escondido.

Developed by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach brings the player more of the now-classic sci-fi shooter action, but with plenty of upgrades and tweaks to the game play to keep the action fresh and exciting. The last issue of The Pride featured a review of the single player campaign of "Halo: Reach." This article's focus is solely on the multiplayer experience. While the single-player campaign made great strides in terms of story and graphics for the franchise, its effects on the video gaming community pale in comparison to the newly upgraded multiplayer experience Bungie developed. In previous versions of "Halo," the multiplayer was al- ways broken up into two game playlists: Ranked and Social. While both sections allowed players to rise in level, i.e., "Captain" or "General," only the ranked players would be able to reach the highest levels available in game. This created a divide between many gamers, as the atmosphere and difficulty of the Ranked and Social playlists differed greatly. Bungie, in one of many recent great decisions, combined the two sections to help quell the dissent. The ranking system remains and has been given new rewards at set points to help encourage players to keep pushing to that higher level. In each game, players earn credits for completing certain tasks. The tasks range from getting a certain amount of kills in a match, to surviving for a certain amount of time in a level without dying. Bungie also introduces daily and weekly challenges that, if completed, give the player a large amount of credits. Once players earn enough credits, they can purchase upgrades to their Spartan avatar, which is visible to the other players in online matchmaking. The upgrades are merely cosmetic and do not give the player any advantage over another, but as in previous "Halo" games, the customization of the player's armor is a time honored tradition,^¡vith many armor upgrades unlocked only after completing certain challenges and achievements, which are worn like a badge of honor among the players. Along with the added customization to the player avatars, Bungie also adds several new game modes, bringing some much-needed diversity to the online game play. The cooperative Firefight mode, which involves four playersfightingagainst wave after wave of enemies, allows for a completely new type of online play. Instead of competing against other humans, players can team up to fight the computer while still utilizing the online features. My favorite online feature is one of the smaller tweaks to the online matchmaking system. In previous "Halo" games, there has been a rather priifitive system that players used to vote for or against the current online level. If the consensus was negative, the players would then be thrown into another completely random level whether without the option to vote. Bungie heard the complaints loud and clear. Before each game, the players can now vote for one of three presented levels and game types, with a fourth option to see new levels. And if the voting players pick to see new levels, they are presented with three new choices instead of one permanent alternative level. "Halo: Reach" has delivered on all levels and provides the player with a large variety of game play and features to bring a whole new generation of gamers back into the "Halo" universe. "Halo: Reach" is available now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. PHOTO COURTESY OF HIQHTECHEDGE.COM App of the week: Bump BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR its.

The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers ^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were children. With laughable acting, an extreme emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to rip the same terror from the audience as the irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this film only succeeds in being a weak attempt to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction. NEW CD RELEASES With the sixth season newly underway, the DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic relationship between forensic anthropology and criminal justice, the series continues to follow the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this season is the 100th episode (directed by David Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship, the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season with the characters going their separate ways temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of "Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX. b o n i ; PHOTOS COURTESY AMAZON.COM BY ASHLEY DAY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Brandon Flowers - "Flamingo" - Island It has been two weeks since Brandon Flowers's solo record, "Flamingo," has hit stores. The front man of Las Vegas band, The Killers, has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might "mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop. h ¡¡III I V 4 v WÏ % Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" - David Geffen Company It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts. jmmmmmmmmmmmmmm * il M M P -Uj ( 1 - m ¡ — Ë f l H p H mmmm £ |NlMtll m n » .i Ä ' Ä M l i 1 1-ummIJIÄM 1.YEAH YEAH YEAH - MEW POLITICS 2 , « » Y O U - C E E .

The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire. Several great artists and DJs performed at the festival, such as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights. This year Insomniac offered free water refills for everyone, keeping attendees hydrated and dancing all day into the warmnight. The audience seemed electric throughout the 11-hour festival. With the many fast beating songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello played Swedish House Mafia's "One," the audience seemed to get into a frenzy, likewise with ATB when they played Ecstasy and managed to blow a speaker. As soon as the sun set, the out- S Œ door tents filled up at the speed of light. Angello who housed "Alice's House," a massive two story black tent with 78.000 square feet of room to dance and shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life gave people no reason to leave. Festival goers had to dip their heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages, to check out Ferry Corsten, ATB and Markus Schulz, who were blasting music in a hot, white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd. If the 110-degree weather had made you tired, the lawn next to the pond at the entrance seemed a good place to rest while embracing the magic of the moment, looking at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets) up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows. At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in the warm nighs sky, and the bass pumped loud in the background, it truly seemed like wonderland.

Let's raise our glasses to good health! PHOTO COURTESY EUPHORIASMOOTHIES.COM �MojaCet (Dance CoCCective BY TORIA BODDEN FEATURES EDITOR I had no idea what to expect when I attended Stick Together. I knew there would be choreographed movement accompanied by a percussion group all the way from Switzerland. If you saw the signs around campus or read a preview of the event, and you harbored any fears of unintelligible modern ballet and a single man hitting a drum with his hands, you're not alone. But Stick Together made those fears completely baseless. It wasn't just a performance; it was a story about humanity told through dance and every type of percussive instrument I've ever seen, and at least a few I've never seen. Each piece had a name that provided some clues to its meaning, though like any good art, it made each person in the audience feel something unique and personal. The opening number, Transparency, started with human beings trapped in boxes, glowing with light from beneath them. To try to explain what happened after this point is almost impossible. Individuals came out of boxes. They got back in boxes. There were jerky individual movements after the "birth" of escaping the glass boxes, then smoother movement with the beginnings of cooperation between couples. As in life, however, the level of refinement that brings individual grace immediately turns into a pressure to conform. Dancers would do something breathtaking as individuals, only to be copied by the other dancers. It was beautiful, frustrating and relatable all at the same time. There were slow, somber dances where the dancers seemed serious, or even emotionless. There was a quick dance, filled with smiles and bright costumes that seemed to radiate happiness. In short, there was a little of everything. Adults in the audience were giving their full attention, homework and text messages briefly forgotten, and the children in the audience looked fascinated. But to speak just about the Mojalet Dance Collective is to completely ignore the other half of the evening. Rhythm Talk is currently in the OS on tour from Olten, Switzerland. I have never seen people so jubilant about playing the drums. But the word "drum" is overly simplistic. There were gongs. There were cymbals. There was a piece with the rhythm set by a berimbau, a musical bow I've never seen used outside of Brazilian capoeira performance. It was a dy- namic performance that I doubt sounds exactly the same twice. It's not the first time the groups have worked together. Faith Jensen-Ismay, the artistic director of Mojalet Dance Collective, and Noby Lehmann, the main composer for Rhythm Talk, met in 2006 when Jensen-Ismay and her collective were performing in Switzerland. "By 2007, they were here to do a tour project with us," Jensen-Ismay said. Now the group is back for another whirlwind tour of performances and master classes. Before the performance at CSUSM, the two groups taught a master class on campus, sponsored by the Dance Program . Rhythm Talk's newest album, also entitled "Stick Together," is filled with names from the places they visited in 2007, such as "Oceanside" and "Diego Dance." "There's just a lot of inspiration here," Lehmann said. "Normally, we make music, then choreography. But here, we can work together. Faith sends me choreography, and then I make music." If you missed "Stick Together" at CSUSM, there are still two more chances to catch the performance. There will be two free shows at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, on October 6th at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The shows are free, but tickets are first come, first served starting an hour before each performance. The California Center for the Arts, at 340 N. Escondido Blvd., is a fifteen-minute drive from campus, or two Sprinter stops and a fifteen-minute walk.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, wwwJcoipen. org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All women (and even some men) are susceptible to the disease, and over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most successfully treated. Regular mammogram screenings, MRIs, and ¿linical breast exams are imperative to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The key to success comes with prevention through early detection. ^The earlier the detection of breast cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes.

Government urges vaccination for seasonal flu SHCS offers flu shots for students and faculty/staff 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season." The CDC warns against vaccination for those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, people who are currently sick with a moderate to severe illness with fever, or those recently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. In years past, the CDC recommended two different shots for a patient to develop full immunity to seasonal flu viruses. This year, most patients require only one dose of this full-spectrum vaccination. However, the CDC recommends that children aged six months to eight years, who have never received a flu vaccination, get two doses of the flu vaccine spaced four or more weeks apart. People with the highest risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with long-term health problems. Although it is not possible to get the flu from a flu shot, there is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications include, but are not limited to, low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body aches, according to CVS phar- macies. Side effects usually last no longer than one to two days. To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two and 49 with no health problems. The CVS pharmacy across from campus also offers flu vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for vaccinations are Oct. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS FOR EXPULSION BY SANDRA CHALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Think your essays and past class notes are worth more than just a letter grade? Think not. Selling class notes, past tests, or even essays breaks the student code of conduct that can lead to expulsion from the university and the entire CSU system. A recent press release from Bridget Blanshan, the Dean of students here at CSUSM, discussed that CSU students had participated in selling class notes to a third party site for money. According to the press release, this is prohibited under student code of conduct section 41301 of title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. The penalty includes expulsion. "Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose." Students may think selling lecture notes seems to be a practical way of getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty can cost them their entire education. "If a student took time to study and is willing to sell their class notes, it is their prerogative. It becomes an issue on personal integrity and it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science. Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student status from the California State Uni- versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures. Countless businesses try to entice students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other students through stresses of college. "I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible and goes to class everyday and takes his/her own notes versus a slacker that can just buys the notes from someone else, its not fair," continued Collins. Sharenotes.com states on their website that their environment allows students to share, download, or buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for all subjects from over 100 colleges. "Working at the bookstore, I notice all the new textbooks and how much each semester the class materials change. It must be hard to sell class notes that keep up with the changes," said Collins. The student conduct case generated by the Associate Vice President and the Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates that there were 113 incidents reports of academic misconduct referred by faculty. Though the nature of all these incidents are not explicitly detailed, three resulted in suspension and 51 resulted in academic probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09. trip. You get a great experience, make new friends, and visit new places while helping others." This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students to "get a chance to work with a great organization like Habitat for Humanity and help build new homes for those in need," said Gallegos. "Along with working during the days at our home sites, we provide opportunities for the students to attend different activities at night to see what there is to see. Even though it is a week of service, it still is Spring Break, so we still want to have fun." CSUSM is just one of the many universities nationwide that takes part in this service program, as it provides. students more options considering what to do for their school breaks. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity have also benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier said, "It is such a humbling and fun experience, and it makes you realize how truly lucky you are; that is something we all seem to forget now and then."

T : MKW : BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings afety o the wake of school Reviewing c BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Oct. 8, shots were fired at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad. Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school. A judge from the Vista Court later arraigned him on Oct. 13. In a country where people have therightto ownfirearmwith a proper license, there are reports of criminal accidents concerning people firing or simply carrying guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana. Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21 years of age or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was on school grounds, smoking in public, or in the presence of minors.

Those opposed include California Taxpayers Association. Proposition 26 would issue a requirement to have two-thirds vote in order to raise fees, this includes certain taxes which may or may not result in a revenue. These fees differ from taxes as they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use the same regulatory guidelines as taxes, which include a twothirds vote. Prop 26 is estimated to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements to support new revenues fees.

Either way, pumpkin carving is a simple and fun way to put your creativity on display for the Halloween season. The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the length of centuries, though its association with Halloween is a little more recent. People used to carve and light objects like gourds in order to welcome the spirits of loved ones while also using the lit creations to keep out unfriendly spirits. This once specific activity has expanded to many places and fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say, pumpkin carving may just be the one Halloween pastime that can be enjoyed at any age, in any way. It can also be a complicated process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt to carve. As with most art projects, the possible ideas and designs are endless, so the basics are a good place to start. The tools used to carve pumpkins can consist of everyday kitchenware and tools found in the garage. Large,knives are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will make removing the pumpkin's innards easy and quick. Pencils and markers can be used to layout your design before you start to carve. Check out Google for sites that have downloadable stencils to get you started. As for the design details, it all depends mostly on what you want for the pumpkin. Here are some tips to begin the baSic pumpkin carving process: 1. Cut around the stem of the pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in. 2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra clean, use the scooping spoon to remove any extra pumpkin seeds and scraps off the inside walls). 3. After figuring out the side you want to place the design on, sketch out the design with a pencil or pen. Carve out the shapes with a knife, then push the pieces out. 4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place it carefully inside, and watch your jack-o'-lantern glow! For more information on the carving process, check http:// www.pumpkincarving 101 .com. Creative stencils can be found at sites like DLTK's Crafts for Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays. com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm). Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last forever and will dehydrate and rot, so take pictures right away to document your creations. If you intend on extending your pumpkin's preservation there are many methods to keep it from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one cheap option for postponing the inevitable a little longer (http:// www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

"I wanted to give back; I ended up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure." From there, things began to fall into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly. Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University of Indiana. She has also traveled as a coach to Croatia, leading an American squad in a global challenge, and in 2006 served as the assistant coach for the USA Junior National A2 team. Regardless of the exotic and faraway places in which she has coached, Gustin is impressed Some people never in* tended to become parents. Some people never intended to become volleyball coaches. It just happens. After nearly four perfect years playing Volleyball for Michigan State University, in which she made the all Big-Ten Conference team three times, Sarah Gustin suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back to Southern California in 2000 and signed ojx to be an assistant coach at Vista High School/Less than 10 years later, she has been hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM. "I really felt a strong con- lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the association will be far from easy. "It'll be tough that first year. [NAIA teams are] equivalent to the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of them could beat Division I teams." Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of her. The keys to everything have been handed over by the school, including scheduling games, administrative duties, and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool." Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an idea of what it will be like. with what CSUSM has to offer. "I love it [here]. It's an easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work." Speaking of recruiting, consider Gustin the resident expert in San Marcos. She also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist. Her recruiting here will mostly be done locally, an area that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants to live in Southern California." Like the other sports programs, Gustin's Volleyball team will spend the 2011-12 season as an NAIA independent. Though the NAIA is often thought of as the "I have a very close Mend who started a [NCAA Division II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I said, 'you're crazy, why would you want to start a program from scratch?' And then I didn't think about it until I took the job, but he called me and said, 'Hey, crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of." Likewise, with Gustin on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce the Cougars' way in 2011. Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a large crowd of alumni and fans on homecoming day, #13-ranked Cougar women's soccer defeated conference rival Embry-Riddle 2-0 atMangrumFieldon Saturday. CSUSM improves to 9-1-5 on the year. Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1. It was a big contest between two conference rivals, and while the Cougars weren't at their best, they were good enough to win. CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle 18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage. The Eagles' defense saved three balls off the back line, keeping the contest close. But the Cougars did manage to get a pair of shots past, both in the first half. In the 19th minute, Shelby Bush was taken down in the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between defenders, Johnson loaded up and blasted a shot from about 20 yards out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Johnson's 10th of the season, giving her sole possession of the CSUSM Women's Soccer Ail-Time single-season scoring crown. "It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the hard work is finally paying off."

Based off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world. PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM pride picks HALLOWEEN'S l EST H MO FUCUS O tk Karas (2005) Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images. The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko." Let the Right One In (2008) The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year. «KM AUDITION The Blair Witch (1999) The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather, Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween. hot off t he reel Audition (1999) Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made. This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about. By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing. paranormal activity 2 H alloween C ostumes! 2 0 % Off with CSUSM Student I D Large Selection of Halloween Costumes including: Leg Avenue,Roma,Dreamgirl, & ForPlay including special orders.

While the film delivers plenty of surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat, the overall experience will leave you feeling just as empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm. Without spoiling the film's events, "Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) find their lavish home quite literally shaken from a mysterious supernatural force. Each reacting to the unnerving events differently, the family is slowly terrorized by doors slamming, eerie BY MILA PANTO VICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds. It isn't until things get out of control that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film. With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity 2" functions in exactly the same way as the first. You may jump from a few scenes that are designed to garner that exact reaction, but by the time the film is over, you will feel just as disappointed as you did upon leaving the first film. The film succeeds in making you tense and nervous and as long as you can get past the complete failure of the sudden ending, you will have a great time being creeped out by basement doors and dark staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween. �DROPPING THIS WEEK BY FAITH ORCINO PRDIE STAFF WRITER How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year.

Participants must adhere to a set of guidelines in order to participate in the Zombie Walk: You must come dressed as a zombie, no masks allowed, but makeup is strongly encouraged. No cell phones are permitted (since zombies do not use them!), no screaming (zombies grunt and moan), walk in a slow, dead manner, and do not vandalize public and" private property.

Part of CSUSM's second annual homecoming week, Masquerade Ball is a tradition that ASI CAB coordinates to celebrate the end of homecoming. Tiffany Peters Social and Annual Traditions Events Specialist, refers to the ball as an "event, which ASI wants to do to treat CSUSM students." With tickets for 700 CSUSM students and guests, it was a sold out event held at San Diego's House of Blues. The venue was selected to accommodate as many students possible, with the main dance floor located downstairs and the second level hosted a bar section for students 21 and up. From 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., attendees were able to dance the night away, or enjoy free food and drink like yummy mini burger sliders and artichoke dip, all courtesy of House of Blues catering.

This recipe modifies the traditional use of processed corn syrup by substituting a more natural alternative—sweetened brown rice syrup. Its honeycaramel flavor pairs perfectly with the brown sugar, resulting in a less-guilt version of this sticky Halloween staple. Those with braces, beware! 1/4 cup unpopped corn kernels 1/4 cup sunflower or other cooking oil 1/4 cup sweetened brown rice syrup (available at health food stores) 3 Tbps brown sugar 2 Tbps water pinch of salt butter Heat oil in a large pot with a lid. Place one corn kernel in center of pot and cover, listen until it pops. Add the rest of the kernels and cover. Shake over flame until all kernels are popped. Pour into bowl and set aside. To the pot, add the brown rice syrup, water, brown sugar, and salt, stir- ring consistently over flame. Boil rapidly for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, immediately add popcorn to pot, and coat evenly with mixture. Working quickly, grease your hands with butter and squeeze handfuls of coated popcorn into balls. Place on waxed paper to harden. Try adding other things like crushed almonds, granóla, and chocolate chips, if you want. Ciao, my popcorn pretties!

The Student Media Festival is a celebration of thefilmsof the creative minds on campus. The Visual and Performing Arts Department hold the event each spring on campus. The festival allows students to use their creative prowess to produce afilmfor an audience. Furthermore, the festival highly encourages students to participate and submit their works for the chance to gain recognition from their peers. It also gives students the opportunity to be discovered by those in the film industry seeking new talent. Many entries will be accepted, however only a jselect few will be presented at the festival itself. The festival grows each year, so students are encouraged to polish their films early in order to increase their chances of being featured. The pieces are judged by a jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include Best Social Justice Project, Best Personal Memoir, Best Experi- mental/ Performance Work, Best Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such as Apple Store gift certificates, computer software and hardware, and cash prizes. Students from all majors are welcome to participate and place their entry in the festival and are free to choose their own subjects. However, thefilmtopics are dependent on the category they are competing for. Subjects in the past have ranged from the lighthearted such as bowling, cats, and jabs atfilmproduction to more serious topics like drugs, cancer, and foreign culture. Johnathan Berman of the Communications Department explains, "What's great about this festival is that it showcases and celebrates the creative work of students from across the campus and allows us to share this work with fellow students, friends, family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals." The festival is open to the public and admission is free and will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival was hosted by actor Jose Yenque who has beenfilmedin programs such as "Law" and Order: S VU," "CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film "Traffic." The deadline for turning in films is in the spring, so there is plenty of time to start working on entries. The festival will take place sometime at the end of the Spring 2011 semester.

Lady Gaga 2. Avatar's Na'vi 3. Jersey Shore Characters 4. Harry Potter Characters 5. Vampires/Twilight Characters 6. Alice In Wonderland Characters Six Worst Halloween Costumes of 2010 1. Giant Baby 2. Darth Vader 3. Ethnicities 4. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress 5. Male Crotch Outfits 6. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman Here's Why: Lady Gaga - Who doesn't want an excuse to wear a blonde wig and no pants? "Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't clean out the Academy Awards f or nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing more supernaturally magical than being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension. "Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o is probably the best way to pay homage to the show we are all secretly - or not - obsessed with. "Harry Potter" Character - Deep down inside, a lot of us are still waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard. Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books. You watched the movies. You have the soundtracks. You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight. "Alice in Wonderland" Characters - Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so many different people, i t's only fair to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party. Here's Why Not: Giant Baby - because they freak people out. Adults in diapers are very unattractive... and creepy. Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would defeat the purpose of even attempting to be old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a smoker who has just conquered the Cesar Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot. A Black Person, when you are not - There is always someone every year at every party that somehow thinks it is a good idea to dress up as a black person eVen though they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if you do not mean it in an offensive way. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be popular, but forgetting this outfit will do the rest of the world a favor. Recreating the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is not only gross, but highly un-hygienic. You might as well wear fresh road kill. The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's a horse peeking out from a stable saying "petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's highly arrogant to think anyone will want to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey (considering how little fabric is used). Greenman - Famous from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is an awkward green tight spandex unisex body suit that does not show your face. Its body-hugging form shows a little more than people would like to see and makes it hard to eat, drink, and be hit on.
