Cal State San Marcos Is Experiencing Major Growing Pains!

Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes.
fair to other students. Why don't
they open school for winter and
summer sessions for the classes
that are harder to get during the
regular semester?"
By JULIE MYRES
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State University San
Marcos is a growing school.
The projected growth for the
future is to be as big a campus
as UCLA. This idea is very
feasible, considering the fact
that CSUSM has more land
than SDSU, which houses over
33,000 students to date. CSUSM
currently has just fewer than
7,000 students enrolled for the
Fall 2002 semester and the
expected enrollment for Spring
2003 is even more; one of the
reasons is because SDSU is not
accepting any new students for
Spring 2003. Many argue that
CSUSM does not offer enough
classes for the current students,
yet they expect to eventually
enroll upwards of a prospective
35,000 students.
Students preparing for next
semester by registering on-line
or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they
attempt to design a schedule that
will fit their needs, due t o their
appointment date or lack of class
availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated
students began Nov. 4th and will
continue until Dec. 6th for Spring
2003, via SMART Web or by
phone.

during the day when they are at

said, "This is my third semester

Others comment that there are
just not enough sections available for the required classes to be

Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not
being able to get needed classes

graduation and it's not fair.
CSUSM has to figure out a way
to tone down or even eliminate
this problem if at all possible. Of
course, I realize that no solution
can satisfy every student, but if
improvements are made students
would be a lot happier on campus
around registration period."
Jeff Bottger, a senior as of

Grad
Reception
By MELISSA REED
Pride Staff Writer
In honor of all the students
who will be graduating this
semester, there will be a Fall
Graduation Reception held
on Friday, December 13. The
ceremony will take place in a
tented area from 6:00 - 8:00
p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza,
which is in front of the new
Visual and Performing Arts
Building.
Speakers at the reception
will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez,
Dr. Francine Martinez and
ASI president Jocelyn Brown.
Although there is no dress
code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress
smart-casual.
Last year was the first year
that this event took place,
and it was said to have been
very nice. There will also be
refreshments to aid in the
festivities. Because seating is
limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should
let the Office of Student
Affairs office know as soon as
possible. Guests of graduates
should be limited to no more
than four people.
Because the specific names
of the graduates will not be
called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come
participate in the traditional
May 17th graduation at the Del
Mar Fairgrounds
For students having any
additional questions, please
call the Office of Student
A ffairs at 750-4056.

What Exactly Is Fair Trade
Coffee?
Brett Gladys, a member of the
programming board and one of
the students handing out coffee
explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and
farmers were paid a fair price
regardless of the market." Gladys
added that, "Fair Trade coffee is
also produced without pesticides
and forests aren't slashed and
burned to grow it." Noah Smith,
also a programming board
member, explained the coffee is
purchased from "People's Co-op
in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith
"promotes both organically
grown and vegetarian products."

not work; next semester I was
hoping to get an internship, but
with my class schedule across
the board time wise, it may not
be an option."
Starting with registration for
Spring 2003 semester, a new
policy by the administration
notifies students of their registration date by campus email only.
Many students are frustrated
with the priority registration
dates, because they do not really
give them priority service.
Kadah added, "For example,
HTM 426 is a popular class
among Business majors and
there is only one section being
offered for the Spring 2003
semester. The class was filled
and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus,
giving me no chance i t getting
into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very
important for my major and the
other electives do not fill my
needs. By the time my priority
registration time came, it was
useless, because there were only
two electives classes available."
Kadah is still trying to get a
response from administration,
but does not have much hope of
getting registered and will try
crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the

What many students do not realize, said Dorado, is that financial
aid can be applied to programs
abroad.
Plus, like program
duration and destination, price
is highly variable and can range
from tens of thousands of dollars
to mere hundreds.
Associate Director of the
Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave
this advice to potential study
abroad candidates: "Students
need to take responsibility for
making sure that all the needed
paperwork and processes are
completed. in a timely manner.
They need to plan ahead and be
realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of
financial aid that can be used and
how much of their own resources
are available and to make decisions based on all those components."
Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior
double majoring in Literature
and Spanish, spent last summer
studying and traveling in Spain.
Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid"
to help cover tuition costs, and
so found herself with only the
plane ticket and spending money
as what she recalls were "the big
things I had to worry about."
Davis interprets the overall
costs as fairly insignificant. She
claims, "It doesn't cost that much
more to study abroad for a year
compared to living in San Diego
and going to CSUSM for one
year."
If students missed the informational meetings this semester

First Annual Frisbee Competition

Friday Nov. 22nd marked the
First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum
Field in the Chavez Plaza. The
competition, which was open
for all clubs who wished to sign
up, involved only four teams,
consisting of: APSS (Asian
Pacific Student Society), PAN
(Progressive Activist Network),
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha
Chi Omega. The games were
hosted and refereed by CSUSM
student John Gehris and orga-
For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of
work and physical exhaustion.
The rules of the game involve
the two teams of five getting an
unlimited number of throws, but
the teammate with the frisbee
can only hold the frisbee for 10
seconds at a time. If the frisbee
is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides,
and a player cannot run with the
frisbee. A goal is scored when a
catch is made in the end zone.
The first match of the day
involved APSS vs. PAN, where
PAN came out with a devastating
victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes
and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding
factor in the match. The second
match was a blowout, with Sigma
Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha
Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi
Omega's strong point certainly is
not head to head frisbee, as they
struggled to even put a single
point on the board.
With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their
breath, the final match was
underway. Jumping to an early
lead in the final game, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon went up early
with a series of scores giving
them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion
of all great athletes and teams,
PAN refused to give in. Really
pulling themselves together,
PAN jumped back into the game
quickly scoring a remarkable 4
points in under 6 minutes. Even
though it was a great attempt
at a comeback, it just was not
enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon won the first
annual frisbee competition.
Each member of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon team won five $20
cougar cards and a handsome
22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a
small t urn out, the event seemed
to be a success, and the audience
enjoyed themselves. If any student is interested about competing in f uture frisbee tournaments

If you enjoy biographies or
historical period films that are
well written and conceptualized
by a talented group of actors,
this is the film for you. Directed
by Julie Taymor, Frida is the
true story of the ever-tormented
painter Frida Kahlo, played by
Salma Hayek. From Kahlo's
unfortunate accident in her
youth to her most joyous days
and a bittersweet departure, the
movie depicts the life of one of
Mexico's most talented,artists.
The film chronicles Frida's
turbulent love affair with husband and fellow artist, Diego
Rivera, played by Alfred
Molina. Frida is a romantic's
oasis. In between fits of infidelity, alcoholism, homosexuality
and drug abuse, Taymor manages to show how even the most

ASI's "Take a Break Tuesday": A Punch Of Fun
By MATT VARELA

Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:
00 p.m. for its continuing "Take
a Break Tuesday" events. For
this month's entertainment, big
glove boxing was available for
students .on a break or walking
to their next class who were
willing to take punches from
some giant boxing gloves.
Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and
Services, CSUSM student John
Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students
to take their turn in the inflatable
ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their
shoes and wait in line to jump in
the ring. The enormous inflated
boxing ring was set right next to
Academic Hall and offered many
students who were walking by
a chance to release some of the
stress caused by their exams and
research papers.
The clear blue skies and warm
weather brought many students
outside to watch fellow students
bounce around like Sugar Ray
Leonard while throwing punches
at each other. With music blaring
and bullhorn calls summoning
the next victims, the ASI team
enthusiastically haggled students
to hop in the ring and throw a
few blows. Some students were
seen tossing the giant gloves
aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another.
"Let's get our professors in the
ring," a student yelled while
being tossed to the other side of
the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like
how ASI brings f un to campus, it
helps make being on campus all
day a little more interesting."
Approximately every third
Tuesday of the month, ASI
brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un,
ASI featured a giant inflatable
batting cage.
"With activities like the big
glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling,
which is next month, we try to
bring some f un to campus," said
Cuevas. If students are curious
about the details of the next event
or where it will be held, they are
encouraged to keep an eye on
their e-mail and on Founder's
Plaza for upcoming activities.

The National Latino Research
Center (NLRC) received funding
from The California Endowment
to fight asthma in school-aged
children. The $352,297 award
is designed to provide technical
assistance to asthma coalitions in
San Diego and Imperial Counties
that are working as part of the
statewide Community Action to

Gerardo Gonzalez, director of
the NLRC and CSUSM professor of psychology, said, "This is
an excellent opportunity for the
NLRC and Cal State San Marcos
to strengthen partnerships in the
San Diego and Imperial Valley
regions." He added, "In collaboration with community coalitions
and the California Endowment,
we hope to contribute to the
prevention of community-wide
health problems, such as asthma
in children."
CAFA supports 12 community-based
partnerships
across California and is the
second phase of The California
Endowment's asthma programs.
It is also a $12 million, threeyear statewide program that
addresses the multiple environmental triggers of asthma
among school-aged children

or outdoor environments contain asthma triggers that can
cause an attack," said Robert K.

and rural areas. Also, nearly 3

asthma symptoms. Asthma is a
chronic disease that often begins
in childhood and is the number

The overarching goal of the
California Endowment's asthma
initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality

Californians. Their mission is
to expand access to affordable,

�A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab...
By JENNIFER JARRELL
Pride Staff Writer
For the past three semesters,
I've been an avid user of the
computers in the computer lab
here at San Marcos. When I
load "My Personal Settings,"
I've been saving the work I do
in places like: My Documents,
H: drive, and the desktop with
no problems whatsoever. So
when the- computer loads "My
Personal Settings," I feel safe to
save my work in places that are
labeled "My Documents." Why
else would it be labeled "My
Documents" if I couldn't save
work there?
Well... one day about two
weeks ago, I saved somei work to
"My Documents," logged off the
computer, and went to the Dome
for lunch. When I returned,
my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and
searched for it everywhere oil
the computer, but there were no
traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't
log off correctly, and someone
else had accidentally erased it.
So I went home to retype all my
work (thank God I had written
my essays by hand first on notebook paper).
fluke, I typed another paper in
the lab, but this time I was going
to save it to my zip disk. When
I looked in my bag for my disk,
I realized that I had forgotten it
at home. I saved my paper to the
desktop (again, like I have been
for three semesters now,) logged
off the computer, and went to the
student store to buy a new disk.
When I came back to the lab and
logged back on, my paper was
GONE! I asked the lab people
(student computer helpers) how
this could've happened since I've
been saving on the desktop all
semester.
One of the lab people told
me that there was a new policy
implemented where, as of two
weeks ago, students cannot save
on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work
will be erased with no possibility
of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask,
"Why wouldn't the lab people
put signs up EVERYWHERE
letting students know about
this "new thing?" Instead, I
walked swiftly out of the lab
and went straight home to redo
my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had
not pre-written my work in my
notebook.
in charge" of what goes on in the
labs. Instructional Computing
Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins
had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional
Computing labs, because these
are public machines, we only
allow students to save on their
own space: the H: space, a ZIP
diskette, or a floppy diskette.
This has been our policy for the
last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if
we allowed the students to save
to the C: drive." She continued
to say, "I am sorry that there has
been some misunderstanding
about where you can save a file.
Once you log off any machine, it
reverts back to a standard "clean"
slate for the next student. The
ONLY safe place to save a file is
the H: space, a floppy diskette, a
ZIP diskette, or a CD."
But that's not what Systems
Integration Specialist William
D. Craig told me. He stated,
"Each student at CSUSM is
allowed 50MB of storage space
on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The
only reason a student should run
into a problem saving a file to
the desktop or anywhere else on
the h: drive is when the student
is near or over his or her quota.
In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole
After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be
saved because the quota has been
reached." He added helpfully,
"If you lost a file that you had
saved to your desktop, I'd really
like to work with you to find out
what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There
may be an incorrect setting in
your account profile. Please call
or stop by at your convenience so
we can look into this problemi"
So what I want to know is,
basically, where am I allowed
to save my work? I feel that the
second half of the semester is a
bad time for students' work to be
disappearing. I'm not thè only
one this has happened to. There's
been a buzz around campus that
students have been losing their
files in circumstances similar to
mine. Because of this episode,
I will be especially safe to make
two copies of everything I do,
and I guess I've learned that the
hard way. But I still feel that
It would be best for students to
know what's going on before
they feel safe to save files just
anywhere on the computer.
unless absolutely critical. We
certainly do everything we can
to minimize the risk t o students'
data. If we did rn^ke a change
regarding something that would
impact most students, like
making the desktop "off-limits,"
we would certainly do so in a
way that would not result in the
loss of files, and only after giving
ample notice to the campus community beforehand."
Mr. Craig told me that this
whole incident was a glitch, and
will be dealt with. I certainly
.hope so, because this is the most
critical point in the semester, and
students should feel safe when
using the computer lab. Since
it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving
files in the lab, I would just like
to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true.
Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I
want to say that our department

Veterans' Day Celebration:
By GAIL TARANTINO
Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Veterans Association, lead by president Gary
Taylor, United States Army
(Ret.), held a celebration on
campus Monday, Nov. 11,
honoring all veterans and commemorating the 227th birthday
of the Marine Corps.
Ceremony Events
Taylor spoke briefly about the
origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to
celebrate the end of WWI arid
to pay tribute to the Unknown
Soldier. In 1954, in order to
honor all those whov served in
American wars, then-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a
bill proclaiming November 11th
as Veterans' Day.
Throughout the ceremony,
two protestors sat off to
one side. CSUSM student
and army veteran Shawn
Harris was protesting the
ceremony and had upset
some audience members,
Harris was holding a sign
that said, "rebuild America,

and "read the foreign press"
on the other side. When
asked Harris said, "this
university should not be
allowed to become a forum

said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend
classes at CSUSM and there
are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.
According to Taylor, part of the

ByRIA CUSTODIO
Arts Editor
Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every
resident should have access
to higher education with out
financial constraint...It's a basic
social right."
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at
Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM)
Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of
political science at New School
University and award winner of
the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of
a call to action that could provide
no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This
was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the
Labor Party at the Labor Party
Convention and Conference in
Washington, DC in July 2002.
Spring

enrollment
opened this November, and large
student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A
college degree can offer stability by securing more choices.
Government education statistics
prove that higher education gives
people a chance to build a better
life for themselves^ Therefore
by following the Labor Party's
guidelines, higher education at
no-cost greatly increases social
opportunities.
CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in
his attempts to spark enthusiasm
for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues
on "Free Higher Education." He
wants students, faculty, and the
community to gain an increased
awareness of the need for no-cost
mere pennies at over $23 billion
compared to the massive annual
federal budget. Allocation of
government funds, without the
increase of taxes, allows the
government to divert corporate
tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary
institutions. Dr. Reed implied
that the free tuition policy covers
two percent of the annual federal
budget and is easily incorporated
into the trillions of dollars going
to corporations, airline bailouts,
and government spending.
As a staunch supporter of the
Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of
the imperativeness for residents
to access higher education while
revitalizing public institutions
with marginal, implemental
costs. "Free higher education
doesn't cost a lot of money and
The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your

The DJDI quoted, "...report also
found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national
output due to extra education and
increased Federal tax revenues
for the extra income the beneficiaries earned."
The free tuition campaign
applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill,
also known as the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944. After
World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed
veterans coming back from the
war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration
(VA) said that this bill has had
more impact on the American
way of life than any law. The VA
also said that President Franklin
D. Roosevelt signed the bill in
order to motivate a desire to
"spare the veteran and the nation
the economic hardships that
accompanied the return." The
free higher education campaign
is similar to the G.I. Bill because
it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense.
Free
higher
education allocates
funds to the larger
population rather than
small segment.
Free higher education provides
access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a
higher level of education offered.
The campaign stresses people
taking local initiative to build
solidarity for success through
word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a
system for social reform of the
polarization of higher education.
By slowly building relationships
with action, a diverse activism is
created by revealing the need to
depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed.
To close the campaign, Dr.
Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York,
implored, "Nothing is more
effective than building personal
relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you
say.. .share the vision."

Academic excellence in the

The Wang

was estab-

Trustee Stanley T. Wang gave the
CSU system $1 million to reward
outstanding faculty and administrators. The award is designed
to celebrate those CSU faculty
and administrators who through
extraordinary commitment and
dedication have distinguished
themselves by exemplary contributions and achievements in their
academic disciplines and areas of

Searching for Mentors
Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students
By STEVEN ZAMORA
Opinion Editor
To be a mentor is to have
an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of
academic help. Joan Helms,
associate under the Wellness
Department within the Poway
Unified School District, along
with the Poway Unified School
District itself, will argue for more
mentors, in order to positively
impact their students as much
as possible. They are looking for
college students to be the mentors for their students.
General Colin L. Powell (Ret.),
Chairman of America's Promise
and Secretary of State, talks
about "Commitment makers,"
which are some individuals or
organizations trying to make a
difference by pledging their time,
treasures, and resources towards
helping our youth, is referencing,
through Helm's interpretation,
the role that mentors plays in
the education process. Mentors
are "commitment makers," says
Helms. They pledge their time,
treasures, being their education,
and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth
succeed in school.
Helms is offering college
students who can spend an
hour every week throughout the
remainder of the school year
a chance to be "commitment
makers."
Mentoring is a positive process
that allows the mentors, as well
as their protégés, a chance to gain
from their experience together.
Helms commented, "Over 98
percent of mentored students
said they have benefitedfromthe
program by increased academic
achievement, improved self-
confidence, increased attendance
at school, improved attitudes
and improved self-control. In
addition, mentors are sometimes
credited with helping students
to stay away from drugs and
alcohol."

Make Impossible Pumpkin Pie
By RACHEL FRANKLE
For The Pride
Thanksgiving is a special time
of year to spend with friends
and loved ones. This American
tradition is filled with family,
pictures, memories, prayers,
gratitude, and hope. Holiday
spirit fills the air as we all long
to make precious memories that
will stay with us for our entire
lives. Christmas is right around
the corner and the New Year is
following close in second. But
everything starts with a lavish
spread of Thanksgiving food
including: mashed potatoes,
yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy,
and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we
eat dessert. Dessert ia the final
food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it
special and try out this recipe for
"Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My
mother discovered this recipe
years ago on a Bisquick box. It
has become a cherished favorite
of our family for years and it can
be yours, too. Many people enjoy
the holiday rich foods, but also
worry about the pounds it tends
to add. With this recipe, you can
enjoy the food and your trim
body all at the same time. Just
follow these simple instructions
and be prepared to take a savory
bite launching you into the holiday spirit.

sert. One great aspect about this
pumpkin pie is it makes its own
crust. That makes the pie not
only less filling, but also lower
in fat than a typical pumpkin
pie. You know what that means,
ladies? No more post holiday
starving and binge workouts!
My mother comments: "You
will not believe how simple it is
to make this pumpkin pie. It is
less costly, lower in fat, and most
importantly, it tastes great." Take
my mother's advice and try out
this recipe. You will not regret it
and neither will your waist line.

all the time in the world to cook
so this is good for everyone. But
before you can start you will first
need to get some ingredients
from the store.
2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
After you # have collected all
your ingredients you are ready
to begin. The first thing you
will need to do is set your oven
to 350 degrees. Drain and chop
all artichoke hearts. Then put all
your ingredients in a 9" by 13"
glass pan and mix. Bake at 350
degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow
it to cool. Do not forget to turn
your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are
taking it on the road or to a house
nearby, store it in something that
will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will
work just fine.
Your guests will be so
impressed by the dish that they
will think you slaved over the
stove for hours, but I guess what
they don't know won't kill them.
Andrew's Apple Pumpkin Pie

The Best of Both Worlds here

its way whether we like it or not.
Thanksgiving is going to be here

be here before we know it. Before
we get too far ahead of ourselves
with the joy of Christmas let's not
skip over all the incredible food
that comes along with Thanksgiving.
The aroma of the turkey is
overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed
potatoes sit heaped up in bowls
on the table filled with cranberry
sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for
everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie
of some sort. The most popular
pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into
one pie? Well, we are going to
do just that, and for all you cheap in Valley Center that makes the

Dream of a World Unlike Dreamworlds
By JENNIFER AGEE
Pride Staff Writer
Disgust festering into rage...
cold chills and a clenched j aw...
a stomach as tight as every
muscle in your body... These
are just a few of some viewer's
reactions likely to be generated
by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in
Rock Video.
The effects of viewing this
55 -minute film are far-reaching
and long lasting. Dreamworlds,
a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to
be the most disturbing film you
have ever seen.
MTV actually threatened to
sue the producer and narrator
of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter
was sent to Jhally ordering him
to 'cease and desist' promoting
and using the video. In a crafty
altercation, Jhally was able to
frame the matter such that MTV
received bad press on the issue,
and so immediately ceased all
pressure from MTV. (You know

are wrong. Were you here on
Monday? The college did recognize Veteran's Day. The Veteran's Club and ASI sponsored
an event outside the Dome. The
Marine Band was here playing
wonderful patriotic music. They
also had the color guard and
presentations for the oldest and
youngest Marines that attend
CSUSM. The club served cake,
punch and water. Because of the
Veteran's Club and ASI, I was

That's right Mary,
hopefully professors are encouraging students to
submit their work. It's simple, all that students have to do is
email The Pride at pride@csusm.edu. The Subject box should
message say PLS, and the message box should contain the work's title
Land the student's, name as well as his or her major and grade. The A ctualj
work should be in the form of an a ttachment. The attachment
should include the work's title but not the student's
name, that way the judging will be fair.
and beyond. Emerging Leaders
is aimed at first year students to
take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple
to join, sign up at orientation
and show up at the first class.
The class is voluntary and will
hopefully be offered for credits
in years to come. It consists of
meeting one night a week for two
hours and a weekly typed journal
on a suggested topic. Poullard
refers to this years group as the
"dynamic dozen" and feels that
"it is at the GORE of what they
do in Student Affairs which is to
'empower students and to help
them find their own voice.
The program offers unique
opportunities such as having a
student/professor panel come
and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions
like Jonathan Kozol's before
his informative lecture at the
California Center for the Arts
of Escondido, and serving as a
"base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When
talking with the group members
about what ELP is, Colleen Lee
quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great
leadership skills in freshmen.
It helps us to learn who we are
an^ how effective we can be as
leaders." In addition to learning
leadership skills, Caroline Rizk
makes the point that "ELP is a
way f or freshmen to get involved
and build new friendships but it
is also a means of discovering
who we are and how the way we
believe affects the way we live,"
Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students
challenge each other in a highly
supportive class that culminates
with students developing their
own Leadership Action Plan."
People must be congruent with
themselves before they can lead
others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating
in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life
situations. The students involved
will be much more aware of who
they are and what they believe in
by the time this class is over.
"Most importantly though, the
ELP is about helping students
learn how they lead, and about
assisting students in making
positive s ociar change within
their community," said Poullard.
These youiig adults have had
much experience on the basics of
how to become a leader. The next
step is to take action and make
a difference on campus such as
Orientation Team as many of
these young leaders have applied
and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given
the opportunity to meet other
freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting
others with the same interests.
The advantage of having a small
group is that everyone knows
each other by name, Stephanie
Gaul jokingly added that "it's
group therapy, when you need
it" because there is mutual trust
and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive
atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and
learn about different leadership
roles on campus. Although it is
fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years
to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program
is definitely an invaluable vehicle
to obtain my future goals and
endeavors. I would recommend
this to absolutely everyone."
This group appears close-knit
and is "the beginning to a great
circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of
respect and love for people. It
has strengthened my morals and
self-realization," said Tiffany To.
Wright adds that "ELP is based
on the Social Change Model of
Leadership and takes students
