by sharing information about
the disease and providing ac-

early detection and prevention.
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. While women follow health guidelines and armor

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."

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.

An abridged voter guide for the upcoming California state elections
COMPILED BY SANDRA
CHALMERS, JENNA JAUREGUI, AND AMY SALISBURY
In light of the upcoming elections, The Pride compiled short
explications of the state propositions we feel will most directly
affect CSUSM students. To
learn more about the propositions and the groups that support and oppose them, visit
h ttp://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/.
Proposition 19: Legalizes
marijuana under California but
not Federal law. 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. Prop 19 would still prohibit

MADD (Mothers Against Drunk
Driving), explain that the prop
could endanger public safety and
cut federal funding to schools.
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.
Supporters include, California
Taxpayers Association and California Chamber of Commerce,
those opposed include, California
Faculty Association and others.

to represent approximately 100,000 deaths.
Military issues often hit close to home
for CSUSM students, who include several student veterans and military family members. A U.S military veteran who
served in the Vietnam War had the idea
for this event. His goal is to make the
public aware of the number of people
that died during the wars, and as result,
to hopefully promote peace and healing.
If you want to volunteer, get involved, or donate to the event, you
can also email ambri012@cougars.

what kind of positions are available, or
where you can make your donations.
This week, California State University
San Marcos will host an installation commemorating military members and civilians that have perished during the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan. This commemoration, the Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial to
Life, will be held on campus October 2528, and will be sponsored by the Human
Development Club, as well as a co-curricular grant from the USUAB fund, the Cross
Cultural Center, Student Life and Leadership and the Women's Studies Department.
There will be a memorial displayed

Pumpkin carving may be a
long tradition started in childhood
for some, while to others, it may
be completely new. 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/).

�Women's Volleyball coach landsfirsthead coaching job at CSUSM
Sarah Gustin back in SoCal to ignite the program
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
nection to the sport," she said
about her first coaching gig. "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

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

"It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the

Paprika (2006)
The late Satoshi Kon released his animated mind-thriller "Paprika" in 2006. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Acting as more of a prequel of the
2007 film of the same name, "Paranormal Activity 2" follows a family that
has a deep connection to the characters
of the first film. 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

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.

PRIDE STAFF WRITER
ASI Campus Activities Board, (ASI
CAB) has done it again and successfully pulled off their Tenth Annual Masquerade Ball. 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.

HOT YOUP MAMFL'S POPCORO BOLLS

DIGITAL MEDIA MANAGER
It's time again for ghoulish goodies and scary soirées! What sort of snacks
will you bring to this year's
round of Halloween bashes?
Skip the chips and surprise
your friends with a homemade batch of popcorn balls.
A Halloween favorite that
goes back generations, popcorn balls are an easy treat
to make for a party. MakDRAWING COURTESY OF ing them with friends or
family makes the process
JAUREGUI
even more fun! 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! Happy Halloween

C S U S M ' s sixth a nnual S tudent M edia Festival
C reative f ilmmakers s hare t heir w ork
BY CHRIS GIACAMILLI
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
This Spring, Cal State San
Marcos will be holding the sixth
annual Student Media Festival.
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.

Six Best Halloween Costumes of
2010
1. 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.

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

grab a GPS and hit the trails.

There are two different types of

assess your personality and help
figure yourself out. This questionnaire consists of 66 questions, most of which ask you to

assist students in understanding
their grades and graduation rates.
This questionnaire was made to
help students understand the type

of the questions ask about grade

In addition to these services,
there are also events and workshops offered by the career center targeting students. These

Based on the true story of how
the social networking site Facebook was created, "The Social
Network" is the most culturally
relevant film of the year, managing to reflect and define a generation. 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

�Halo: Reach revisited
Discovering a new multiplayer experience
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach," the latest iteration of the video game franchise "Halo," has finally made
its debut on the Xbox 360. 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.

"Bones: Season 5" (Unrated)
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (R)
Freddy Kruger is back (this time played by
Jackie Earle Haley) in "A Nightmare on
Elm Street," marking another remake of
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film of the same
name. 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.

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.

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.

�n octurnal Festival
BY SUS ANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Saturday Sept. 25 Insomniac held its 16th annual Nocturnal Festival at the National Orange Show Events
Center in San Bernadino, Calif.
42,000 attended the rave/
festival, braving the heat wave.
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.

CHELSEA JAUREGUI
Autumn is upon us, and that means fall
sports and midterm exams. Healthy and delicious, smoothies are a quick snack option
to power up for a workout or recover from
an action-packed game. Even non-athletic
students can benefit from these energizing
drinks, reaping a sharp attention span, focus, and brainpower for tacklirlg classes
and homework. Packed with nutrition and
incredible flavor, individuals can customize theflavorof their smoothies by varying
the main ingredients. Fruits and vegetables
are easily blended to frothy perfection—if
you haven't yet invested in a blender, do
it! This one appliance will allow you to
create hundreds of smoothie recipes for
any time of the day, promoting a diet that
will keep you performing at your best.
The basic smoothie has three main
ingredients:
Fruit and/or vegetables
Liquid: (milk, yogurt, fruit juice)
Ice
The specific nutritional benefits will depend on the ingredients you use—athletes
should consult their coaches for guidelines
on what to include in their smoothies. In
general, a smoothie should contain a protein
(from dairy or soy products, or a supplement
such as whey protein) and a variety of fruits
or vegetables for maximum nutrition. Get
creative #nd think about what ingredients
might create new and interesting flavors.
Nutritionist Lindsay Barnes, co-author of
the book "Smoothies and Ice Treats," recommends using fresh fruit and vegetables,
and using low-fat dairy products for the
healthiest smoothies. Flavor and consistency will depend on the amount of each ingredient used, so experiment until youfindthe
perfect blend for your palate. Here is a delicious smoothie recipe to get you inspired:
Berry Avocado Smoothie
Vi avocado, peeled and sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries
Vi banana
1 cup milk or soymilk
Vanilla extract and honey, to taste
Ice, about 4 cubes
Making a smoothie requires just the
press of the button. Blend all the ingredients until you reach the desired consistency, then taste to check the flavor. You
can refrigerate any leftovers and re-blend
to enjoy with your next meal. The above
recipe is a Cookin' Cougar original—check
recipe websites or smoothie recipe books
to get more ideas for your own delicious
blended treats. Ciao, my smoothie sippers. Let's raise our glasses to good health!

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.

Since San Diego enjoys
beautiful, sunny weather for the
majority of the year, our city
is forced to mark the seasonal
transition from summer to fall in
other ways: the autumn Starbucks drink menu (delicious
pumpkin spice lattes return),
temporary Halloween stores on
every corner, and the town of
Julian's Apple Days Festival.
Located in the rural
mountains of San Diego, approximately 40 minutes from
San Marcos, Julian, a historic
gold-mining town known for its
pie and hard apple cider, comes
alive to boast its best asset to
visitors from all over Southern
California: apples. The Julian
Apple Festival will take place
on Oct.2 and 3 from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. at the Menghini Winery
and will feature dancing, music,
a beer and wine garden , gold
panning demonstrations, tractor
displays, children's activities,
contests, apple pie, and the grand
coronation of a Mr. and Mrs.
Apple Days.
According to the Julian
Apple Days website, the festival
is more than 100 years old,
starting in 1909 as a celebration
to mark the town winning the
Wilder Medal, an award bestowed only to the highest quality fruit growers. Since then, the
event has attracted over 3,000
visitors every year and its apples
have upheld their award-winning
deliciousness.
Thinking of making your
own apple pie this fall? Take
some Julian apples home with
you by visiting Julian's Apples •
and Art Orchard. For $10 per
bag, visitors can spend the day
picking California-grown, pesticide-free apples straight from
the tree, Johnny Appleseed style.
Apples and Art Orchard requires
reservations and is only open
seasonally, but there are other
orchards in and around Julian
with more flexible
availability. After

Ah, apples. 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. Serves 2.
Ciao, my apple admirers!
Many warm wishes from my
kitchen to yours.

CSUSM Women's
soccer plays Biola
to 0-0 tie
BY KYLE TREMBLEY
The goal-scoring drought
continued for CSUSM women's
soccer on Saturday, as the squad
played Biola University to a 0-0
tie in front of the home crowd at
Mangrum Field.
_
On the twelfth-ranked men's
side, for the second straight week
the Cougars beat their time from
last year by over a minute, finishing eighth with a team time of
2:07:29. Leading the way for the
second straight week was Western Nelson, who placed thirtysixth with a time of 25:04.
Next on the team was Brett
Campfield, who bested his time
from last week by a significant
margin, running 25:20 to take
fifty-sixth. The two-time track
andfieldAll-American should
continue to make an impact in
his first season running crosscountry for the Cougars.
Third on the team was Jonathan Alpizar, who placed sixty#13-ranked CSUSM is now
4-1-4 on the season. Biola is
3-2-1.
CSUSM has been struggling
to replace dynamic freshman
forwards Amy Young and Dani
Porter, both of whom are injured.
The Cougars have scored just
two goals in their last five games.
However, the squad has
posted a respectable 2-1-2 record
in that span, thanks largely to
a staunch back line that played
another excellent game on Saturday. Led by captain Michele

though it was the first race of
the season for star runner Cady

Maroon 5 - "Hands All Over" - A&M/
Octone
Maroon 5's third album, "Hands All
REVIEWS
Over" (recorded in Switzerland), has had
a long journey since their last release ("It
Won't Be Soon Before Long"). The band
itself has come a long way since 2002, yet
they managed to get through the struggles of a newly formed band, eventually
claiming two Grammy wins. 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). Singles
"Misery" and "Give A Little More" were
released this past summer and both songs
will be accompanied by music videos.

Scott-directed film starring Oscar

Blanche«. The film begins in late
twelfth-century England, when
Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe)
is merely an archer, before becoming "Robin Hood." When met
with his opportunity to return to
the land of his birth, Nottingham,
Longstride and three other soldiers (recognizable as the future

"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

�REACHING THE END:
A REVIEW OF
"HAM): REACH"
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach" is the story of
the beginning of the "Halo" saga,
but truly, it marks its end. 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

Pizza Nova
BY MICHAEL RAWSON
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Looking to chow down on comfort

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

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

Gardner's previous criminal
history includes a guilty plea
to multiple counts of forcible
lewd acts with a child and false
imprisonment, landing him
a six year prison sentence in

insist they may still be able
to implicate Gardner without
locating the victim. 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

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. More information on

tive roles because they have each
won the award previously. 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. Despite the predictability of the awards, I hope
it will be a fun show to celebrate
my favorite medium.

wish to register, find out more
information or ask questions

The two races differ in both
their length and where they are
run. "The 5k, which is I think a
3.1 mile course, goes around the
campus. It's mostly on campus
and circles all around the campus
and the start and finish will be
on the track. It's an amazing
event, 5k is a great distance; you
can either walk, jog or run.
"The other event is the Ilk.
This one is more challenging. It
will go to the top of the mountain that you see outside the university and there is a park called
double peak. 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

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

Lighting up at C SUSM
Hazards of social smoking
Every year, hundreds of thousands of deaths are due to smoking related illnesses. 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. If
I really had a problem with smok-

"Anybody in this country should
have a right to talk, or then we
can't really say that we live in a

I'll be showing my support."
"I totally agree with it. I'm
totally okay with professors

people who are about to go into
the workforce, to see that, to see
that you do have options, and
people can make a lot happen if
they get together and organize

"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

Blaring tunes, CSUSM college radio hits airwaves
BY SANDRA CHALMERS
Editor-in-Chief
Roaring into our twenties,
CSUSM has upgraded into the
twenty f irst century and introduced its first radio station.
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.
Baseball team hits homerun season for C SUSM
BY KATRINA KISTLER
Pride Staff Writer.
Here at CSUSM, the baseball
team is up to bat and gives our
small athletic department a big
name.
The CSUSM baseball team
has started out their season
with eight wins,fivelosses, and
one tie. This season has proved
to be difficult, but the cougars
have stood strong.
"There have been a lot of injuries this season, but the players
and team have exceeded my
expectations while dealing with
a tough schedule," said baseball
coach Dennis Pugh.
The CSUSM baseball team
rested these past two weeks and
now is looking forward to an
away game against Chapman
University on March 5 at 2:00
PM. 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.
On March 9, the cougars will
be playing a double header
facing Illinois Tech at 11:00
AM and at 6:00 PM at Escondido High School. The next two
days the Cougars play Illinois
Tech again on March 10 at 6:00
PM and on March 11 at 6:00
PM located at Escondido High
School. Cougars then play Concordia at Poway High School at
6:00 PM on March 16. This will
be a tough game for the Cougars, but hope to pull out a win
against Concordia. The cougars
finish up that busy two weeks
playing Vanguard on March
spencer Pardon is on the left and Eric Julieene is on the right.
16 at 6:00 PM at Poway High
School. With these next two
busy and tough weeks, CSUSM
cougars are looking to come out
with some wins.
The players this season have
high expectations for suc-
i ^ M w l M ^ ^ É w j ^ wbSM i§i®
cess this year. Junior, Spencer
Pardon said, "In the season so
far, we have been doing pretty
well. We had a tough game
against Cal Baptist, but are
looking forward to a strong rest
of the season."

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

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.
I felt that the characters were
quite believable for most of the

CSUSM promotes civility on campus
Civility Campaign hopes to reform the university's sense of community
Kyle M. 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

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

month, the committee will award

In 1984, their uniforms
changed again to a retro

Other religious and cultural holidays celebrated during the u)inter season
Kyle M.Johnson
Pride Staff Writer
While Christmas is one of the
most widely-celebrated of
holidays in American
culture, many other
holidays take place in
close proximity in the
calendar.
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.

Artificial vs. live Christmas trees
What do you prefer?

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.

in the heart of downtown Carlsbad and is very close to the beach.
The Ocean House prides itself on their Sunday champagne
brunch served, from 9:30 a.m.
- 2:30 p.m. which is hosted in a
spacious dance room with large
wooden floors. For students on
a budget, head over to their bar
room Monday - Friday, between
3 - 6 p.m. to take advantage of
the happy hour while enjoying
the antique setting.
The happy hour includes $2 off
mixed cocktails, draft beers and
house wines. The beer list supports local breweries with beers
such as Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter, Stone Pale Ale, Coronado Orange Ave Wit, Green
Flash 30th Street Pale Ale and
Port Brewing Wipeout IPA. To
fill up on snacks Ocean House
provides cheap eats including $4
nachos, cheese fries, quesadillas
or potato skins and $5 artichoke
spinach dip and chicken strips.
The Ocean House also runs
discounted domestic beer for $3
and $5 burger and fries during all
football games.
What is most enticing about
the Ocean House is the historic
setting that mixes modern attractions like banquets, weddings and
salsa dancing on Sundays with
rustic and antique architecture
and design. The Palm Room, in
the front, has a history that dates
back to 1922 and is a nice lounge
with large windows overlooking
the main walkway of downtown
Carlsbad.
The Ocean House is open Monday - Wednesday 11 a.m. - midnight, Thursday - Saturday 1 1 - 2
a.m. and Sunday 9:30 - 2 a m. It
is located on 300 Carlsbad Village Drive in Carlsbad.

Ringing i n t he New Year with roses
Melissa Martinez ,
Pride Staff Writer
If you don't have special plans
to celebrate the New Year, the
Tournament of Roses Parade is
an amazing experience to take
part in.
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.
Fast forward your career.
Take advantage of multiple start dates, no requirement changes,
and convenient block'scheduling—ideal for working professionals.

Dec. 12, 2011 will be quite a
day for me. 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. When Ellen

started wrapping up, she said she
started thinking about what kind
of gift we would like to have. 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. I don't need an entire kit, but
a few pens for outlining and reliable
colored pencils will do. *

Book Review: " A Christmas M emory" by Truman C apote Tales from the Nerd Sid
Geek Gifts: A short g uide to s ome of thef
Capote's classic story a Christmas treat
Kyle M. 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.

Star Wars Wampa Rug
($99.99, ThinkGeek.com)
For the nerdy bachelor, why not purchase a n a wesome new W ampa skin rug?
All the w ay from the i cy p lanet of Hoth, the
terrifying W ampa now rests a s a trophy for
all Star Wars fans. The 62" L x 30" W rug is

It is now that time of the year; hot chocolate in front of warming fireplaces, Christmas
lights brightening up neighborhoods and my personal favorite: Christmas music. 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.

^^^
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.

SEX /Off
Anniversaries
The explosion of mockumentaries
BY IVAN GARCIA
Pride Staff Writer
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Hopefully you remember them, otherwise
the only gift you'll be
receiving is a big smack
in the mouph (yes, it's
an offshoot of the word
"mouth," get used to it).
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.

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."

W h a t t o see o n D V D
A mishmash of movies a n d
television madness
BY B LAINE H. 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

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.

released earlier that day by the state

Everyone loved the Beatles
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
The
modern
music scene is
very diverse and
there is a number
of tunes to suit
any
persons
taste. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Getting a job
FEATURES
Interview tips to make
sure you get the spot
BY BILL RHEIN
Pride Staff Writer
One of the most intimidating parts of the job search is the
interview process. 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!

age technology.
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. Bindler and Matthew McConaghey at a press junket at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.

aflattire. 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?

Student spotlight Kimberiy Koga
CSUSM's Resident poet
BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER
A&E Editor
The first impression of Kimberiy
Koga is small little package that packs
big punch. 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.

Booze, tattoos and rock and roll, the 2008
Street Scene went back to its roots in downtown San Diego for a two-day music festival.
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.
At 4:30 PM, The Films took the Fulana

.
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.

20 bands total played Friday night, and
ended with an amazing show from Beck.
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.

As the night began to draw to a close, out

highlight of the day for many fans.
Immediately after on the Fulano stage, 80's

Though this movie has plenty to offer for fans of the television
show, it does not stand up well by itself. All the cast reunites
to tell one more story which take place after the show ended. It
is over two hours long and fails to be as engaging as other TV

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. CSUSM's University Police DepartSee POLICE, page 4

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? Where did you attend,
what was it like academically/
socially?
I went to Temecula Valley
High School, and it was the worst
time of my life. I was surrounded
by a bunch of immature idiots

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.

personal detail). Is there anything you want to share about
your hospital experience?
I really don't remember much
about the accident. 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.

There are two misconceptions

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

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.

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

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

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.

change in campus food options
BY DEBRA DOERFLER
Special to The Pride
Ever wondered if your
thoughts about the campus
food options were shared by
other students? 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.

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.

Robbins Report

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. I trashed
ASI for serving our needs with a
sex-worker advocate, questioned
those categorically opposed to
fee increases, and plowed over
the idea of a border fence.

H ow To ... Squash Jealousy
BY ERIN YOUNG
Pride Staff Writer
"A man without jealousy is like
a ball without bounce." 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.

Students chose to discuss campus policing at an open forum with President Haynes
on Monday, November 29. The open forum,
attended by 27 people, was thefirstof three
open forums that will be hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI).
ASI President, Manal Yamout, asked
Haynes for an update on the situation.
Haynes stated that the university is working to put an ad hoc task force in place to
review campus policing practices, and has
hired an external investigator to investigate
the formal complaint filed by Williams
against campus police.
According to Haynes' sources, Williams' complaint is too general in nature

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

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.

can groups showed a wider disparity between
the percentages.
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.

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." Haynes, "thought the form

A review by The Pride of
the campus police web site
found only an email comment
form—not the formal complaint

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.
"I'm not willing to say that all
of our policing and methods are
not appropriate," said Haynes.

Who cares about AIDS at CSUSM
BY PHOENIX LINDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
Someone on campus is HIV
positive.
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.

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

the county since 2002. In the

THE PRIDE
Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
If you think your
family is dysfunctional
then you need to read
Phil Jackson's latest
book titled "The Last
Season: A Team in
Search of its Soul".
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-

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.
If you have any topics for discussion or
any comments for me then send an E-mail

Extreme
Karaoke
BY MICHELLE ROBINSON
For The Pride
I have a need to be in
the limelight no matter
how busted the lens.
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.

Tips to help you get through the end of the semester

how you really don't need to go

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

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

the lectures are helpful. If they sort of thing, I'm not Dr. Phil,

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

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.

Mini DV Cameras are available at student
technology help desk
C ommunication majors should be prepared t o b uy expensive e quipment or
wait in line
Desk in the Kellogg Library carries Mini DV Cameras that are
available for students to check
out, but the problem is that they
are hardly ever in.
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.

Neverland is a hit

Johnny Depp will
make you believe
fw #ir $w #
t s •$ w
#

BY PHOENIX LUNDGREN
Pride Staff Writer
For those among us who embrace the
idea of never growing up, "Finding Neverland" tells the story of how the embodiment of that desire, Peter Pan, came into
being.
•
The film opens in London, 1903. 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.

“Money management is

average student usually has three
to four credit cards on them”
said Rizvi. However, Rizvi did
not attribute the problem solely
to students, but described it
as a societal problem. “People
borrow more money than they
can handle.”
Rizvi said he wants to edu
cate students better and equip
them with the mformation and
skills necessary to make them
mom responsible with their debts.
He also will be working witii Stu

Pride Editor
CSU faculty members are
working in excess of 50 hours per
week, according to the results of
a recent study. 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

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

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. I feel confi

Last Wednesday a power
outage hit Cal State San Marcos.
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

Poway, Ramona, Rancho Ber
nardo, Rancho Del Rey, Rancho

Even though CSUSM has a
generator it only provides light
to some elevators and emergency
halls. The Dome, Cougar Store
and many other offices had to
close due to the power outage.

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.

to bring unity to our very diverse

belief of others at Cal State San

student campus life at our univer

campus and give the students an
active and vibrant campus life. I

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

I have learned leadership skills,
participated in community ser

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

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

Marc DeGuzman
Leadership can be defined
as creating a positive social
change in a person’s life. 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

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

I am the best choice for Col

of the student body in the Col

sector management. Currently, I

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

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

as insure that the mission state
ment of Cal. State San Marcos is

Administration.
Terra Nelson
I’m running for the position

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

“ Butt O u t ”
This is a response to the arti
cle “Stop It!” I found the lan
guage quite abrasive and laden
with messages of guilt. 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.

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.

So the snowboarding and ski

to the lack of rain, but the condi

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.

of The Pride for the results of

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).

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.

am very motivated to work along
side the school and ASI and make
changes for the better while serv

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.

Being a well-known indi

area of student government. I
am a devoted student advocate
actively involved with student life

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.

of that hiatus was spent in the US
Army, where I worked as a clerk
in the Finance Corps. 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.

Cal State San Marcos suffersfirst serious crime
By Roman S . Koenig

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 Cal State San Marcos Library
hosted a traditional Oaxacan altar and the
fifthfloorhallway of Craven Hall sported
"Once upon a Paradise," a 38-photograph
exhibit showing the architecture and ecology of the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico in
honor of El Dia de Los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. 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 given major grant
Barbara J. 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. Lynne Markus of the Claremont
Graduate School.
A non-profit educational organization, FERF is the research
arm of the Financial Executives Institute, a professional association of 14,000 senior corporatefinancialexecutives in the US

"I was much more offended by

In the Nov. 1 edition of The Pride, it was erroneously
reported that children of mostly faculty and staff participated in
a Halloween march Oct 31 on campus. According to Adrienne
Aguirre, who heads the Associated Students Childcare Committee and coordinated the event, the parade was primarily
made up of children of Cal State San Marcos students. Children
of faculty and staff also participated.

The Pride editorial staff has no problem with a campus group

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.

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.

�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-

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

�Safety
Continued from page 1
"We just want to make everybody aware of what's going on,"
said Smith, who joined Public
Safety this month after serving
with the Southern Pacific Railroad Police. 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.

Some of these Republicans, if
elected, would make very good
presidents. But on the whole,

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

That's a pretty tough thing to do."
Wofford, on the other hand,
finds after-solo applause to be distractive. "A lot of times I don't
think it's appropriate. I think it
interferes from the flow of the
music."
