Student-oriented paper defines plans
With an infant university being born on the dawn o f another
century, we are entering a dynamic era of education and together we
must form new traditions and begin seeking horizons of our own.
Pioneer, a newspaper to serve the Cal State San Marcos campus,
also starts today. Premiering only one week after CSUSM opened to
its first students, Pioneer brings information to the hands of people
eager to learn more about California's 20th State university.
The pages o f Pioneer will contain a variety o f subjects. News,
however, is the main function o f the publication and will dominate
each issue.
I n the news pages, you will find all you need to know about the
coming of age o f CSUSM. Events will b e covered by students and
with students in mind.
O ur news specials will give you, the reader, insights into the future
of our university and into the surrounding communities.
The heart o f the newspaper lies in our opinion pages. I n this section
readers will find personal perspectives on events happening
throughout the world and staff points of view on issues affecting the
campus.
The opinion pages also give you an opportunity to a ir your valuable
perspectives. Guest editorials and letters are an integral part o f the
opinion pages.
To add excitement and drama to the lives o f college studen ts,
Pioneer offers Explore. By exploring in-depth one particular them e,
Explore's intent is to show students that there is more to life th an

Each Explore section will contain a Thrill Seekers article in which
our special staff investigates fresh, exciting experiences. At the end of
this section, you will find a guide showing where you also can explore

many mediums examined.
Finally, our Calendar section will guide you to places and events of

would dare.

Getting to know Bill Stacy
Bill Stacy was selected in a
nationwide search to be president of
the nation's newest public university.
In a late August ·interview with Pioneer
editor Larry Boisjolie, Stacy candidly
discussed plans and dreams
·concerning Cal State San Marcos.
H ow has t he s tudent a nd c ommunity

C ommunity r esponse h as b een
wonderfully supportive to the idea having a
university h ere. W e've h ad a l ot o f
demonstrated public support.
The-student interest is very high. We are
o ver o ur t arget enrollment substantially.
·Without m aking a ny r ecruiting efforts,
students nonetheless found o ut a bout us by
word o f mouth o r reading stories. They came
in and .made their applications and we did
have to close applications. Sorry about that,
but we didn't want to tell a bunch o f people
'no.' We d idn't c lose i t q uickly enough
because now we will have, in a sense, ' way
over our full time equivalent target.
I sn't o ver-enrollment a c ommon t hread

I s uppose the phenomenon o f s tudent

in the frrst place, and that there is a strong

h ere becauseo f the challenge o f creating a
new school. It is an entrepreneurial urge in
each o f us. It's a risk-taking phenomenon.
We are opening doors with a feeling that
an institution can be academically rigorous,
demanding, asking for students to meet high
a
standards o f scholarship _nd be friendly a t the

You've said before t bat s tudents a re t he

facuJty t o s tudents?
As w e looked for job applicants, one o f the
items o f heavy emphasis was teaching. There
had to b e some demonstration in expertise in
teaching. Most o f the. time that comes from
student evaluations o f faculty.
There is a sense o f wanting t o b e a c olearner, a co-discoverer a nd a co-teacher.
There is a sense o f o ur faculty wanting to b e .
mentor to students. Our students o ur older.
When students reach an older age they d on't

Campus to reflect Italian architectural style

A t · first glance o f t he future
California State University campus
site, off Twin Oaks Valley Road in
S an M arcos, i t i s difficult to
imagine a college community.
Yet, o ver the next few decades
landmovers and jackhammers will
b e w orking overtime t o c reate a
high tech campus with a style o f a
14th century Italian village.
T he $ 650-$700
m illion
c onstruction project will span a
period o f o ver t wo decade and
cover 305 acres.
T he first phase o f the project will
b e c ompleted for the fall 1992
semester at a c ost o f $47.5 million.
Buildings w ill include a laboratory
building, commons, a lecture hall
a nd t he $15 million William A.
Craven administration building.
According t o A lbert Amado,
assistant vice president for Physical
Planning and Campus Construction,
students entering the campus in '92
w ill s ee a nd feel the campus's
architectural statement immediately.
"We will make a major entry
statement and a statement o f quality
and outside openness," said Amado.
" We s houldn't wait until the last
phases to create an atmosphere."
Amado said the Mediterranean
village concept o f the architecture
c ame about only after the concept
o f the campus was reviewed.
To reduce pedestrian circulation
time, buildings will b e condensed
into an easily accessible formation.
All buildings will have maximum
widths o f 5 0 feet and will rise a
minimum o f four stories, thereby
creating the feeling o f a condensed,
Italian-village.
"In trying to respect the terrain,
we get a Mediterranean sense. The
campus will resemble a crested
Italian hill town," said Amado.
On t he Cover
Craven Hall, the first "feature".. building o f the new campus is
scheduled for completion in the fall o f 1992.
The building, named after Stated Senator William A. Craven who
signed state Bill 365 authorizing tbe establislunent of t he new
university,will administration, certain student services and the
library when t he campus moves to the Twin Oaks Valley Road
location.
In addition the campus will house the $ 2 million in computer
equipment used to run the first phase o f the campus. According t o
Albert Amado, assistant vice president Physical Planning and
Campus Construction,
building is designed to meet the needs o f
the expanding campus.
"It is designed t o accommodate expansion o f systems," s aid
Amado.
"The $15,500,000 building
serve as the campus libraryduring
the first phase of the construction project and will houseover 100.000
volumes. Amado said that as the permanent library is built, more
room will be avaiJable in Craven Hall to accomodate tthepowing

Amado s aid h e w anted t he

that many other campuses did not
account for future growth a t their
onset. As a result those campuses
contain mixed architectural styles.
"We a re o ne of t he f ew
universities that are master planned
for full growth," said Amado.
T o h elp d evelop t he m aster

for a full year with CRSS Inc., an

to develop concepts and plans.

close to two million volumes.
According t o A lbert A mado, v ice president Physical Planning and
Campus Construction, the library will b e built in phases.
"The first phase o f t he pennanent library will house 250,000 volumes,"
said Amado.
Due to its large size and necessary campus function, the library will be
built at the most central location o n campus.
"We want i t t o p ortray a teaching function," Amado said, "so we 're
placing i t right a t the center o f c ampus."
T he library's card catalog will b e computerized and accessible through
h ome computer modems. Officials hope that technological advances will
allow users to access to the f ull t ext o f j ournal articles, art reproductions,
essays, bibliographies and music via home computers.
Planning for the main library will begin i n 1994 with completion
tentatively scheduled for 1998.
This a rtist's rendering shows what the campus will look like when opened in 1 992. Although t he
entire campus will not be completed until 2 010, t he Italian Style architecture will be seen with t he
f irst three permanent buildings to house Cal State San Marcos.

News videos encourage unfair verdicts
America has become a nation o f video jurists.
Through television, viewers have passed judgment on everyone
from Patty Hearst to John DeLorean. Videotape has given us a free
pass to the private lives o f public figures and officials, and all i n the
name o f news.
But we, as a nation o f voyeurs, seldom see the whole picture. O n
s uch sensationalistic programs as ' C urrent Affair' o r ' Inside
A
E dition' viewers only see tapes o f e vents that have been edited t o
maximize the drama o f events. Even, and especially, news broadcasts
use footage to draw viewers in and increase ratings.
Unfortunately, the viewing audience ultimately sees footage that
does not always correctly depict events a t hand.
I n the case o f R ob Lowe, for instance, America watched a tape that
allegedly depicted the actor having sex with a minor from Atlanta.
I t w as e asy t o pass immediate j udgment o n L owe d ue to the
explicit nature o f the tape alone.
B ut w hat most o f the American public does not realize, is that the
video, shown so liberally across the airwaves, d id n ot actually depict
Lowe and the Atlanta minor. What it really showed was Lowe with a
woman in Paris.
T he tape found its way to the media only after allegations about
Lowe and the m inor arose.
N onetheless; L owe was tried and convicted b y a n audience o f
millions with a tape that did not depict the event in question. Morally,
L owe's s exual exploits were repugnant, b ut t hey made for good
viewing.
O n J une 28, America had the opportunity o f passing judgment on
yet another public person; Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry.
F or 10 minutes, viewers saw the official lift a pipe to his lips and
smoke crack cocaine.
W hat t he public d idn't see were the other 73 minutes o f videotape.
Only o ne station, Fox owned WTI'G, aired the complete tape.
As a result, viewers saw only a partial picture o f a man driven by
power and influence to perform vile illegal acts. The complete version
o f the tape depicted the tragic drama o f a man more obsessed with sex
than with drugs.
I n f act, B arry's c laim o f e ntrapment by the Federal Bureau o f
I nvestigation may n ot b e entirely invalid in light o f the entire tape.
During most o f the footage, Barry made countless sexual advances to

deserves a fair trial in
the viewers' court.
With sensationalistic videotape, comes sensationalistic hype. A s
s oon as news o f t he B arry tape was made public, a tremendous
uprising in the black community arose. Claims were b rought forth
stating that Barry was singled o ut for the investigation due to his color.
This ludicrous outcry probably would not have occurred h ad t he
tape not existed. B ut the pinnacle o f sensationalism created by video
journalism invites outside groups i nto t he vortex o f m edia h ype,
creating more confusion than clarity.
As a method o f information dissemination, television has always
had a bad reputation. T he practice o f heavily editing videotape for use
i n news broadcasts only adds to its poor standing.
T o complicate matters further, many news stations offer significant'
cash rewards for newsworthy videos. This practice invites would-be
treasure hunters, armed with the family cameras, to hunt for news.
F or t he most part, the general public has little o r n o formal training
in finding and accurately portraying newsworthy events. F raud i s
invited and actually encouraged, as in the case o f R ob Lowe.
I f news stations broadcast taped footage, they should investigate the
material f or accuracy. I f i t i s f ound that the footage i s i ndeed
newsworthy and useful, it should be aired only in its entirety, o r n ot a t
all.
T he p ractice o f e diting f or e ntertainment is dangerous to t he
reputations o f p eople and damaging To the integrity o f a legal system
which operates on the premise that all men are i nnocent until proven
guilty.
I h ave b een a sked b y t his newspaper
about goals a nd e xpectations I hav.e for this
new university and its students.
W hen I a m a sked to d o something like
this -- ''Think l ofty thoughts" -- the place I
t um t o i s C SUSM's M ission Statement. I f
y ou h ave n ot r ead o f o ur Mission, I would
urge you to d o so. You will find i t on page
seven o f o ur catalogue.
T he M ission Statement was the first, and
undoubtedly the most important, o f the many
tasks t he f ounding faculty and I faced in the
p ast y ear o f p lanning. We were planning not
j ust f or y our arrival a year down the road,
b ut f or t he s uccessive arrival o f students far
o ff i n t he f uture -- that unknown, shadowy
e vent w e c all t he 2 1st century. I asked the
f ounding f aculty t o h elp m e build. a
u niversity f or t he s tudents o f the 21st
century. T he M ission S tatement they put
together reflected their strongest feelings on
t he subject, a nd I think they did a grand job.
A s y ou r ead t hrough t he Mission
Statement, n otice t he e xpectations for our
s tudents a s w e have s pelled them out.
Because o f t he international perspecti ve we
h ave, w e w ill e xpose C SUSM students to
" the s tudy o f l anguages, to world literature
a nd the fine arts, a nd to issues and traditions
o f the United States and other countries." We
d efine f urther o ur e xpectations for our
graduates t o i nclude " basic skill in writing,
critical and relative thinking, mathematics,
fundamental c omputer c ompetence and an
i nterdisciplinary a pproach ( to these
expectations)."
O ur g oals for y ou a re s tated in the last
sentence o f t he M ission Statement: " ... to
e nable (you) to realize (your) potentialities
as enlightened individuals a nd productive
members o f society i n a world o f change."
Lofty goals. High-reaching goals. These
are the goals w e h ave declared for you. As
the capable, bright students w e know you to
b e, w e think these are goals worthy o f your
i ntelligence a nd p ersonal o r professional
purposes. B ut f or us t o succeed, you are the
o nes w ho m ust s ucceed. These goals must
become your goals as well. Universities may
h ave many "owners." Dean H enry Rosovsky
o f H arvard tells us i n h is remarkable book,

students are as m uch t he o wners o f their

A THOUGHT:
"Mere opinions, in fact,
were as likely to govern
people's actions as hard
evidence, and were subject
to sudden reversal as hard
evidence could never be."
Kurt Vonnegut,
in 'Galapagos'
R onald Reagan stated a sarcastic truth a t
t he dedication o f t he n ew Richard Nixon
Library: " Much h as been written and said
a bout R ichard Nixon; s ome o f i t h as even
been true."
B ut f urther truth lies in the fact that the
c orrect a nd a dmirable aspects o f R ichard
Nixon a re t he very aspects that the media
appears hesitant to print. Positive ideas do not
make entertaining press.
Through media hyperbole, the history o f
N ixon's administration has b een c louded.
Instead o f r ealizing the vast achievements
that Nixon accomplished, many people today
are led to believe that only corruption and
mismanagement littered his administration.
While the press seems only to emphasize
the supposed "scandal" o f Watergate, Richard
N ixon a ccomplished m uch d uring h is
Presidency.
Possibly N ixon's m ost s ignificant a nd
talked about achievements lie in his decision
to open relations with the Soviet Union and
China.
H olding a r ecord a s a s trict a nticommunist, Nixon was able to commence
talks with the S oviet U nion which led to
START, the first real m ove t o p olice t he
nuclear race. Although this reduction treaty
was no band-aid for U.S.-Soviet relations, it
did create a course for increased cooperation
that carried us to the more relaxed position
we hold with the Soviet Union today.
Furthermore, Nixon recognized t he danger
o f l eaving t he S oviet U nion a s t he o nly
dominate force in Asia; therefore, he worked
to patch o ur r elations with C hina t hrough
actions that improved political and economic
relations between our countries.
R ichard N ixon b rought t he American
i nvolvement i n t he V ietnam War, which
killed 47,319 U.S. citizens, to a logical and
redeeming conclusion.
T RACY WILSON
G UEST C OLUMNIST
In addition, Nixon introduced people into
his administration such as Henry Kissinger,
William Safire, P atrick Buchanan, and Alan
Greenspan who sill act as important political
figures today, while another individual who
Nixon saved from oblivion and sent to the
United Nations is now our President.
While t he l iberal press would have u s
believe that civil rights advancements are the
p rize o f D emocrats a nd t he s corn_ o f
R epublicans, t he c onservative N ixon
c ontradicted their stereotype and worked to
further r ights i n t his area. According to
P atrick B uchanan, S pecial C onsultant t o
N ixon, m oney a llotted t o c ivil r ights
e nforcement rose 800 percent to $600 million
during his first term. Furthermore, he set a
record b y r aising federal e mployment o f
minorities from 14.1 percent to 19.5 p ercent
B ut possibly Nixon's greatest achievement
i s t he b rilliant way he e scapes p olitical
suicide, never allowing the media to c remate
o r bury the ashes o f his last public action.
Nixon's positive effects o n o ur c ountry
w ere n ot s evered b y Watergate. N ixon
resurrected from a political deathbed to again
involve himself in today's society. Recently,
he visited China, where he delivered a harsh
message in regard's to the TiannemanS quare
massacre. Unlike many past political leaders,
N ixon n ever d id a nd s till d oesn't a ccept
h onoraria for speeches and asked for n o fee
f or h is C hina v isit. F urthermore, h e
c ondemned any effort on the b ehalf o f t he
Chinese to exploit and televise his visit for t he
f ear that he might appear as i f h e condoned
the g overnment's behavior.
Today w e s ee figures like Barney Frank, a
c ongressman e vidently " unaware" o f t he
h omosexual whorehouse that operated from
his home, receive only a "reprimand" and a
s lap o n t he h and from a press w ho s eems
willing to forgive any impropriety o f a fellow
liberal. H e m ost likely faces re-election. I n t he
past, Nixon's unquestionably less severe acts
led to a cannibalistic feast on his political life
and Presidential honor. T he m edia h eld t he
banquet.
R ichard N ixon n ever c heated t he
government, never accepted unfair funds, a nd

JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
Starlight Opera's presentation o f ' Jesus
Christ Superstar' could be considered the
second coming o f Andrew Llyod Webber.
As composer o f a dozen musicals, Webber
has gained recent success with his production
o f ' The Phantom o f the Opera,' released in
1988. He is also admired for ' Cats' (1980)
and 'Evita' (1978). But lately little attention
has been given to his first, complete work.
T hat d idn't stop director James Rocco
from directing Webber's 1970 score o f 'Jesus
Christ Superstar.' The performance, playing
through Sept. 9, proves that the biblical son
o f G od is alive today.
The story follows the last seven days o f
Jesus Christ. However, instead o f portraying
Jesus as a God, Webber casts him as a man
with the entire performance viewed through
the eyes o f Judas.
Bible critics might complain here, because
Judas is the one who betrays Jesus. So, even
though the story is pretty biblically accurate,·
Judas's story doesn't shed a bright light on
Jesus.
Jesus is portrayed by Amick Byram. He
truly becomes the superstar o f the show, not
only for his role, but'because o f his fantastic
performance. Byram comes to the Starlight
after his run with 'Les Miserables' a t the
Schubert 'Theatre in Los Angeles, where he
played the l ead His performance o f Jesus the
man was more than convincing, and his
performance o f J esus the superstar was
astonishing and heart-pounding.
T he m an who challenges his action
throughout the play is portrayed by Jessi
Corti. His role o f Judas is the first solo voice
to b e heard in the production with "Heaven
on their Minds" and he defmitely sets the
standards for the rest o f the show. He has a
wide vocal range as well as a diversity is h is
acting emotions and actions.

Students at Cal State San Marcos feel that
the United States should continue its activity
in the Persian Gulf and that the primary reason
for American involvement in the region is to
stop Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from
gaining too much power.
These reactions were gaged in an unscientific anonymous poll by Pioneer of 39 students at CSUSM. The sample reflects about
6.5 percent of the population attending the
university.
Thirty-one of those sampled were women,
with the remaining eight responses coming
from men, accurately reflecting the gender
demographics of the campus. Of those
sampled, 16 were between the ages of 18-25;
10 were between the ages 26-32; seven were
between the ages 33-40, and the remaining six
were above 40 years-old.
Of those surveyed, only two felt that the
U.S. should no longer continue its activity in
the Persian Gulf. Two people held no opinion,
while the remainder of the students said the
U.S. should continue with its involvement. Of
the students who indicated that involvement
should continue, one said that forces should be
reduced.
Most of those polled felt that there were
multiple reasons for America's involvement
in the Persian Gulf.
Thirty-three responses indicated that the
U.S. became involved to stop Hussein from
gaining too much power. Twenty-five felt that
the U.S. was in the region to liberate Kuwait,
while only 23 felt that oil was the reason for
military presence.
One student said that the conflict in the
Middle East is an ego trip by world leaders.
The student said that this is an opportunity for
those leaders to test their military weapons.

B udweiser d istributer
g ives l argest l ocal g ift
With a donation to help in the formation of a scholarship program at
Cal State San Marcos, Ken Markstein, president of Markstein Beverage Co. in San Marcos, has committed $100,000 to the university, making him the largest local contributor
to the university.
CSUSM President Bill Stacy announced the contribution January 23,
five days before the commencement
of the spring semester.
"It's a splendid thing that Mr.
Markstein has done," Stacy said. "To
receive such a strong voice of confidence from our neighbor in the community is a great thing. Particularly in
these difficultfiscaltimes,Mr. Markstein's generosity grants to us the
flexibility that provides excellence to
our students in North County."
The g ift from Markstein will be
awarded in increments over the next
10 years, with thefirst$10,000 check
endowing a scholarship program for
business students.
The second year?s check will endow related faculty enhancement for
the MBA program to be developed at
the university. Each year's donation
thereafter will alternate between funding student scholarships and faculty
enhancement.
Director of Financial Aid, Paul
Phillips, said that details regarding
the scholarships will be announced
later in the year. He said the contribution is an "absolutely wonderful"
addition to the Financial Aid program.
Bernard Hinton, founding faculty
professor of Business Management,
said in a written statement that the
endowment could strengthen ties to
the business community.
"TheCollegeof Business Administration is deeply committed to a close
working relationship with the North
County business community; we are
equally aware of our responsibility to
justify their faith in us," Hinton wrote.
"With the support of such community citizens as Ken, we expect to be
able to provide the quality education
the North County area desires and
deserves."
Markstein Beverage Co. is the
North C ounty d istributor f or
Budweiser Beer and other Anheiser
BusQh products.
The gift, which will be called The
Markstein Beverage Co. Scholarship
Program, is the largest contribution to
CSUSM to be made locally. It marks
the third largest endowment to date.
Earlier in the yfear, Bill Daniels, of
Daniels Cablevision in Denver, endowed $250,000 for the formation of
a chair in Communications. Most
recently, Itoman, a Japanese trading
finn, announced a $500,000donation
last September for the establishment
of an annual international festival.
Another $250,000 endowment, by
Allan O, Kelly of Carlsbad, was rejected by the college last fall following criticism from the academic
community. The Kelly endowment
would have helped form a chair in
Geology.
Markstein could not be reached for
comment as of press time, but Stacy
indicated that the donation was made
as a gesture of community support.
"He wanted to d o something as a
hometown guy to support our programs" he said.

Hepatitis threat greater than earlier thought
You are probably feeling saturated with information concerning sexually transmitted diseases; however, some recent studies and initiative by the Centers for Disease Control reveal
the Hepatitis B Virus (HB V) infection is more a
more serious threat to the college-age population than was previously thought
HB V is among a group of viruses including,
human papilloma virus (HPV—commonly referred to as genital warts), human immune deficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus
(HSV)—labeled the "modern sexually transmitted diseases" by many. These viruses carry
the potential to cause serious illness, including
various cancers and death.
Specifically, HBV infection, for which if
there is no treatment, can lead to impaired liver
function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and
liver cancer. The severity of the disease ranges
from unapparent cases (with no recognizable
signs and symptoms) to a fulminating fatal
illness (rarely).
Usually, Hepatitis B patients have some mild

symptoms and occasionally jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), but
frequently are diagnosed as having a mild viral
infection or the so-called gastrointestinal flu.
Approximately 10 percent of patients will becomecarriers. Also, a certain numberof carriers
will develop chronic, active hepatitis which
leads to serious problems.
That brings us to the mode of transmission.

Yearbookcommitteemembersand
Cal State San Marcos administrators
are puzzled over the origin of survey
forms recently distributed around the
campus.
According to BarbaraPender, who
leads the student subcommittee on
the organization of a yearbook, the
survey questionnaire entitled, "Student Survey for First Class Yearbook,"
did not come from the yearbook staff.
In fact, says Pender, the survey contains questions that are too personal
for use in the forthcoming publication.
"We don't want to know who a
person's spouse is or what the spouse's
occupation is," said Pender. "We're
not going to make the yearbook a
personal biography."
At first Pender thought the survey
was placed by someone on the year*
book committee, but all members
denied drafting the questionnaire. She
then looked to the administration for
the source of the survey, but found no
answers there either.
"We thought, It's got to be someone within the system. The box where
the surveys were dropped had a logo
from the Staff Directory," said Pender.
Linda Leiter, secretary of Student
Services, said she has no idea from
where the survey came. Barbara Davis,
receptionist in the President's Office,
and Sandra Punch, coordinator of
Student Services at SDSU North
County and CSUSM, also were perplexed over the survey's origin.
"Itjustappeared,"saidPunch.Most
of the flyers that are distributed around
campus pass through Punch's office.
After finding no link between the
administration and the survey, Pender pulled all copies from the Student
Lounge and gave them to the Office
of Student Services.
Yearbook subcommittee member
Mary Parker said she saw a welldressed man in his forties place surveys in the Student Lounge last semester, but thought the survey was a
college-sanctioned document.
Pender and officials are also perplexed over a reference to the "Student Affairs Office" at the bottom of
the questionnaire. The official title
belonging to the department which
handles student activity is "Student
Services" and not "Student Affairs."
The survey is printed on a blue
stock paper similar to that found in the
university's copy rooms, but it was
written on a typewriter and not a
computer. The college uses computers for most of its document drafts.
Pender said shedoesn't believe the
survey was distributed out of malice,
but feels it could harm the reputation
of the yearbook committee.
"Because of this, the yearbook is
not going to be putting out surveys,"
cited Pender. "Why would anybody
go through such trouble—such cost—
to sabotage the yearbook?"
mission of the virus is by sexual exposure, blood
transfusions, needle exposure, and perinatal
exposure (in the pregnancy and birth process).
Among the college age population, Hepatitis
B virus is transmitted mainly through heterosexual activity with either a carrier or someone
who has the active disease.
What is new is that heterosexual activity as a
cause of HBV has increased 38 percent in the
last five years, accounting for 25 percent of the
cases of HBV, and replacing homosexual activity on importance as ariskfactor.
Heterosexual activity considered as highrisk for HBV infection includes duration of
sexual activity (years sexually active), number
of sexual partners, and history of other STDs.
As any/each of these risk factors increase, so
does theriskof acquisition of Hepatitis B virus
infection.
As a prevention strategy, "safer sex" helps
by the use of condoms and by decreasing the
number of sexual partners in order to reduce
exposure to infectious semen and vaginal secre-
tions. However, the HBV can be present in other
body fluids such as saliva so that intimate contact may be risky.
Vaccination of persons at highriskis the best
way to significantly decrease the incidence of
HBV in the college-age population.
Student Health Services through SDSU is
conducting an educational intervention that looks
at ways in which students receive information
about Hepatitis B and their need to receive the
HBV vaccine (at a reduced cost). If you think
you or a friend are atrisk,contact Health Services at Cal State San Marcos, SDSU North
County campus, 471-3578, to have your questions answered about your risk and how to
receive the HBV vaccine.

Women should

to end fighting
How students will view Cal State San Marcos' journalism program.
Times Advocate proposal
requires student approval
In early 1990, Cal State San Marcos invited entrepreneurs to
participate in the creation of this nation's first public university
in nearly a quarter century. The founders, and subsequent staff,
of Pioneer newspaper proudly accepted this offer. It's our
pleasure to have initiated the process of student publication.
The press is organic to a democratic society, and our staff
weighs its role accordingly. Likewise, it is gratifying to hear
from numerous students and staff commending our work.
In the interim, the Escondido based Times Advocate offered
a package deal to the budding campus. Their proposition, if
implemented, wouldrequire every Cal State San Marcos student
to subscribe to the Times Advocate newspaper as a condition to
attending school. In turn, the Times Advocate would enable the
founding of a College of Journalism through a combination of
capital and services support. The official school newspaper (not
the Pioneer) would be a mere insert in the Escondido daily.
This offer has met with widespread disappointment. Firstly,
the Times Advocate is proposing an exclusive service contract—spending student paid fees—so don't mistake this for
philanthropy. It is neither a corporate gift nor an endowment.
Secondly, Cal State San Marcos would be obligating its students to buy a private tabloid through the imposition of student
fees. This steals our freedom to make choices as consumers of
news. Furthermore, it puts the University in the position of
endorsing a private firm's services on an exclusive basis.
initially, it seems exciting to be the recipient of an entire
newsroom, even at the expenses stated. Unfortunately, the
greatest cost is unstated: the inevitable mediocrity that would
result from a journalism department shackled to a local daily.
The best journalism students will not attend a program that
directs its efforts to producing an insert anymore than the highly
talented would write for the Pennysaver. Likewise, the best
professors of the trade would be reluctant to teach for a department that depends on a private enterprise for its continued
existence.
Certainly it would be the first time that Cal Sate San Marcos
steers itself to less than excellence in any endeavor.
The most perplexing—and reprehensible— situation, however, is not the Time Advocate's behavior. Private firms should,
rationally, do everything possible to increase their value, and it

In that instance, the donor requested that his theories be
tested, presumably by the scholar he sought to subsidize.
Ultimately, President S tacy scrubbed the idea in the interest of
academic integrity.
An inconsistency is apparent in the responses of an academic community that until now religiously promoted the
tenants of political correctness. When an individual tries to
"buy" a testing ground for his scientific theories, it is taboo to
the purists. However, when a firm attempts to create and
dictate the operations of a whole school of journalism, the
overall reaction is indifference.
Obviously we share our path with hypocrites.
Perhaps most outrageous is the fact that the voice of student
government—the Student Governance Task Force, and its
subcommittees—is being ignored. In November of 1990, the
Newspaper Subcommittee,charged by Student Services Dean
Ernest Zomalt to formulate recommendations for an official
school paper, rejected the Times Advocate proposal.
Surprisingly, this conclusion was not the basis for further
action by the Administration.
I urge the University Council to relinquish student newspaper decisions to the student government I further beg of the
University administration to act consistently by sticking to
precedent and rejecting any and all offers that are less than a
gift.

Sick? Outrageous? Disgusting? Definitely. But look at the
failure of lesser measures.
Almost 2500 years ago, Lysistrata, the heroine of Aristophanes' play of the same name, attempted to stop war by uniting
all the women of Athens. These wives of Greek soldiers withheld
sex from their husbands until the latter agreed to never fight again.
Looking at the evening news, it obviously didn't work.
Lysistrata, and all women throughout the millenia, have failed
to recognize one important f act We men prefer making war to
making love.
Perhaps it's testosterone poisoning. This hormone gives men
greater physical strength and also appears to trigger aggressive
behavior.
Perhaps i t's environmental. Men have been raised with the
belief that anger is the only socially acceptable emotion. Probably
it's a combination of both.
But whatever the cause of the problem, the destruction of the
world can only be reversed by women uniting and reclaiming their
power. And I'm not referring to the women's movement.
The Gloria Allreds and Steinems of the world, well-intentioned
as they are, have contented themselves with seeking financial and
political equality with males. This is as absurd as a cheetah seeking
genetic equality with a snail because it envies the glittering slime
traiHt makes on a sidewalk.
Face it, ladies. We men are on the verge of destroying the only
planet you've got. There are no suburbs to flee to this time.
Only a revolution by all the women of the world has any chance
to save the human species. Too long have you been the mourners
and nurses for the dead and dying. Too long have you deferred
your power to male-dominated misinterpretations of the Bible,
Koran and Torah.
They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Modern
Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,is ancient Mesopotamia, "the cradle of civilization."
We men are now rocking that cradle with bombs, oil spills and
ego-terrorism of the worst kind.
If you women don't shed your meekness along with your veils
and feminine deodorant spray, and reclaim your God-given power
as giversoflife, your only legacy will be the stench of a dead ocean
and dying earth spreading from here to eternity.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
t> 4JJ v jtttfi U l l / l l
The other day I met asoldier in line at the grocery store. Dressed in combat fatigues, he looked
tired and uneasy.
He told me he had just arrived back home,
from the Persian Gulf. When I asked him what
it was like to be in the Middle East during the
conflict, he said nothing. The look of weariness
on his face told all I needed to know.
"Isn't it great to be back home," I asked.
"Could be better," he said. He motioned to
the television set in the store's lobby, playing
the latest war coverage. Vietnam veteran Ron
Kovic sat in a wheelchair leading thousands of
demonstrators through San Francisco.

the homefront. Therightto protest in the United
States is a fundamental and necessary component to the system of democracy in which we
live. But we, as Americans, must realize that
protestation can be more damaging to our soldiers than enemy fire.
Ron Kovic, of all people, should realize this
fact. When he left Vietnam with crippling injuries, he came home to rains of spit rather than
confetti. In one of the San Francisco demonstrations, which he led two weeks ago, 1,000 protestors were arrested. In fact, more people were
arrested during that demonstration than any

during the Vietnam War.
Where were the protestors when Hussein
forcefully took over Kuwait? In this action can
truly be found a reason for protest:
It is one thing to hold prayer vigils and tie a
yellow ribbon for the troops oversees, it is
another thing to clog the streets of a major city
with unruly and completely counterproductive
demonstrations.
Nobody but a madman would revel in the
muck of war. Unfortunately the world contains
one such lunatic by the name of Saddam Hussein.
His unprovoked attacks against Israel—a
nation which originally chose to stay removed
from the conflict—are nothing less than sadistic. Protestors tread heavily on the memory of
those Israelis lost in senseless SCUD attacks.
His dumping of millions of gallons of oil into
the Persian Gulf is nothing less than environmental terrorism. Protestors do nothing but
muddy the environment of global awareness by
giving credence to a man who has little concern
for the world around him.
His occupation of Kuwait is nothing less
than dictatorial. Protestors disregard therightof
an oppressed nation to share the same freedoms
of speech and protest that they are exercising.
War did not push Hussein into performing
these actions. He instigated them because he is
sociopathic. Our soldiers are there to lessen a
madman's control over an important corner of
the world.
Nobody dislikes war more than those who
are employed by the government to fight i t
When they come home from work they deserve
to be treated to warmth and kindness and not to
the unmeaningly cold messages of protestors.
Those who fight Hussein in the Gulf may not
be fighting a just war (since there is no such
thing as a just war), but they are fighting a
necessary war. Now more than ever they need
our unflappable support. Hussein wishes for a
disjointed America and tides of protestation
bring waves of division.
It must be remembered that the conflict in the
Gulf is not a mirror image of Vietnam. This
conflict is more akin to a war fifty years ago
where another madman sought control of the
world. Our soldiers then were treated with the
respect they deserved and earned. Our soldiers
now should receive the same treatment.
If you want to rally against the soldiers
overseas, then put your protest signs and your
love beads in the back of your psychedelic VW
van and groove on back to the 60s where your
exploits will be appreciated.

Students stress to President importance of their opinions
Dear President Stacy:
One of the things remembered from our orientation last summer is your explanation of how
this university was going to be different. With
you as its leader, CSUSM was going to develop
into an institution where the students' interests
came first; for, as you stated, without the students there would be no need for faculty and
administration.
The first day of classes began with instructors who were extremely enthusiastic about the
different outlook that this administration had
compared with what they had encountered at
other colleges. Each professor emphasized the
open policy where the student was of primary
importance.
As the semesterprogressed it was easy to see
that indeed this was a different school. Classes
became like families, with classmates quickly
becoming as close as cousins. Each of the courses
offered lively discussions where concepts were
not only taught by the professors but discovered
by the students as well.
Sitting in the Student Lounge and listening to
students from all fields of study, one never
heard words of complaint about the quality of
instruction. There were many complaints about
too much homework, as would be expected, but
there was no talk about not taking an instructor
because he/she couldn't teach.
CSUSM was developing into just the university you had predicted. It was a university where
education and the student really mattered.
As the semester drew to a close, we noted
that some of our professors were not promoting
their next semester's classes. When we asked
what they would be teaching, we found that,
since they were only part time, they didn't know
if they would be back or not.
Worried that the "powers that be" in the
administration may not know how we students
felt about our "temporary" professors, we made
an appointment with the appropriate administrator to express our concern. We told that
administrator that those part-time instructors
were among the best that higher education had
to offer.
The administrator suggested that we send in

letters of evaluation. We were assured that these
letters would be copied and seht to the offices of
the people who made the choices of whether or
not to retain the instructors. So we sent the
letters.
The next week evaluation sheets were sent to
classes. There is little question that our instructors received glowing assessments.
Can you imagine how shocked and let down
we were to find that few of those tremendous
instructors were returning?
We recognize that it is the university's option to retain or dismiss part-time faculty, but
we also feel that the opinions of the student
population should be at least considered and not
simply brushed aside. We feel impotent in our
ability to help this college plant a solid foundation on which the education of generations to
come will be built.
We have great confidence that the new instructors chosen are of the utmost competence;
however, we are reluctant to adopt them as our
mentors if they are only to pass with the changing semesters.
Dr. Stacy, we realize that you are not directly
responsible for what has occurred, yet we send
a plea to you, as this university's highest authority , to once again stress to your administrators
the importance of student opinion and the tragedy which occurs when it is ignored. We only
ask that the students' point of view be considered as much as it is at other institutions of
higher education.

PERSIAN GULF UPDATE
At 4:37 p .m. PST on January 16, America sat mesmerized as bombs began to drop on the Iraqi capital of
Baghdad. The global community suddenly became
smaller as Cable News Network brought the first live
reports of the war in the Persian Gulf from Bernard
Shaw, John Holliman and Peter Arnett. The world's first
prime time war had begun.
Pizza franchises yielded record delivery sales, and
retail stores became like mortuaries as Americans gave
the war the attention of a Super Bowl game.
CNN rocketed to an 11 percent rating share (10.9
percentage points above regular ratings) and became the
primary source of Gulf news'in an instant.
Since the first bombs hit Iraq, the world waits with
anxiety for the next moves in a multi-billion dollar game
of chess.
We've watched as SCUD missiles hit Tel Aviv, and
Patriot missiles hit the SCUDS.
We've seen pictures of battered and bruised hostages.
We've witnessed an oil spill twelve times larger than
that created in the Exxon Valdez accident and cheered as
the source of the leakage was stopped.
We've been stunned when Iraq took over the Saudi
village of Khafji and our hearts grieved when 11 Camp
Pendleton Marines lost their lives to friendly fire there.
But most of all we've been confused.
With the volumes of information about the war that
comes daily, the public looks for some kind of order
among the mayhem. What will happen next is anybody's
guess, and nobody's knowledge.

One of the most shocking casualties of war came when Iraqi president
Saddam Hussein dumped millions of
gallons of Kuwaiti crude into the
Persian Gulf. The spill was eleven
times larger than the 1989 spill created when the Exxon tanker, Valdez,
hit a reef off the coast of Alaska.
President Bush called the action
by Hussein a "sick action from a
desperate man," and pledged to halt
the flow of oil into the gulf by using
allied forces.
"I admit he does irrational
things....It looks desperate. It looks
like gasp. Itdoesn'tmeasureup to any

Bush in response to the spill.

Missiles have paid a large part in the early war events. More than 50
types of tactical missiles and precision-guided munitions have been deployed on aircraft, ships and ground units in the Persian Gulf War, providing troops with the mainstay of their firepower so far.
The missiles depend on mechanical and electronic guidance systems
including radar, infrared sensors, inertial measuring units, television
cameras, terrain following devices,

C HEMICAL W EAPONS
Chemical weapons are considered the poor man's atom bomb. These
deadly weapon systems can be constructed by many of the world's nations today. Theycan beplacedon 1960s-vintage missile, widely available on the arms market, in a chemical warhead made from readily
available chemicals.
There are severalchemicals used in warheads. Some of those chemicals and their reactions are listed below:
• Cyanide and other blood agents: When inhaled, it blocks the
blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. It can cause eye irritation, choking
and sometimes death.
• Chlorine and phosgene: These chemicals burn the lining of the
lungs. When plasma leaks into the lungs from the bloodstream, victim's
drown in their own fluids.
• M ustard Gas and other Blistering Agents: Can cause vomiting,
nausea, skin irritation and blistering, eye-irritation and short-term blindness. It can be lethal in large amounts.
• Nerve Gas: Nerve gas can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
It attacks the nervous system and is highly toxic; this gas can kill in 15
minutes.
Total isolation from the chemical agent is the only protection. U.S.
soldiers use a two piece suit with special boot covers and gloves. A
chemical mask and hood are used to protect the head.
Different kinds of masks are used in different nations, the U.S.
military offers three different types:
• M17 A1 is used by the infantry, it has small eyelets. The filter,
inside the cheek pouch of the mask, is good for about 24 hours before
filling with dust.
• M43 is used in helicopters. It allows Apache pilots, in particular,
to wear their special sighting system gear and the mask at the same time.
The M43 also is attached to the ventilator which blows in fresh air.
• M25 A1 is used by tanks and armored vehicles. It is similar to the
M17 and is also connected to a breathing unit. It has a wider face cover
than the M17 so that the vehicle operators have far better visibility.
Ideally, masks are fitted to the individual wearer to avoid readjustment in the 13 seconds required for putting them on. Masks are put on
like catchers' masks, then attached by four straps. A wearer needs to
blow into the canister to clear it, then breathe normally.

"Look at those guys! Haven't I
seen them around campus somewhere?" No, your eyes are not misleading you, The Jazz group playing
at noon in the Student Lounge today,
is in fact made up of University students and employees.
Bob Boss, John "Ironman" Harris
and Gunnar B iggs make up the North
County university community's own
jazz trio. The members of the group
have known each other for years
throughout the jazz circuit, but had
never played together as a group until
they ran into each other on campus.
The Uni versity Jazz Trio, so named
in aSan Diego State University, North
County newsletter, first came about
when Biggs walked into the Aztec
Shops last September and saw Boss
and Harris working. "We have a trio
right here," he exclaimed.
Biggs approached the "powers that
be" and and found them to be enthusiastic about the idea. Pat Hinkle came
up with the sponsorship for the group
and the University Jazz Trio was born.
In fall they played the Student
Lounge at the beginning of the semester and in the parking lot at end of the
first semester's festivities.
"Music is a combination of melody, harmony , and rhythm," disclosed
Boss. "Jazz, first takes the melody
which is whistleable, then adds harmony which colors it and gives it
shape and last the rhythm which holds
it all together." He went on to explain
that jazz is made up of theme and
development — tension and relief
The University Jazz Trio, comprised of Gunnar Biggs (bass), John "Ironman" Harris (drums), and Bob Boss

Boss started to play guitar at age
12. Living in Berkeley gave him many
opportunities to see his idols like the
great Jimmy Hendricks and the Grateful Dead. When Hendricks was interviewed, the young Boss would listen;
and when Hendricks said his idol was
Jim Hall or John Caltran, Boss would

2* 'The Russia House'
Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeifer,
an intelligent script and scenic Russia
all combine forces to create the most
compelling spy thriller in recent history. This one makes you think as
well as entertains.
3 . 'Awakenings'
The most unlikely combination of
hyper-intense comic Robin Williams
and very serious dramatic actor Robert
DeNiro creates an emotional look at
life—something we all take for
granted. Williams should walk away
with an Oscar this time for a convincing portrayal of a doctor so absorbed
in his work that he almost missed out
on what life's all about.
4.'Mountains of the Moon'
This sweeping saga tells the true
story of two explorers looking for the
source of the Nile in deepest Africa.
The film is notable for the brilliant
performances of Patrick Bergin (soon
to be seen with JuliaRoberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy') andFiona Shaw.
5. 'Hamlet'
Yes, i t's true. Mel Gibson can do
Shakespeare. He's a riveting force as
the self-destructive Hamlet. Glen
Close, brilliant as usual, plays the role
of his mother, Gertrude.
6 . 'Goodfellas'
Mel Gibson as Hamlet.
Ray Liotta puts in a strong performance in a movie that cuts so close
to the heart of the Italian mafia that
they took offense. JocPesci and Robert
DeNiro also run away with their respective roles.
7. 'Ghost'
This ultimate love story stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with
Whoopi Goldberg thrown in for comic
relief. This film touched the heart of
America in such a big way, it deserves
mention.
8. 'Reversal of Fortune'
Jeremy Irons is positively devious
as the enigmatic Klaus von Bulow,
who was acquitted of causing his
wife's coma through an injection of
insulin. Kudos to Run Silver as his
defense attorney Who is not sure what
to make of his weird client.
9. 'Presumed Innocent'
Scott Turrow's novel is intelligently adapted to the screen for a look
at a man's portrayal and the inner
workings of politics in a district attorney's office. Harrison Ford is solid,
but Bonnie Bedelia runs away with
the movie as Ford's bitter wife.
10. 'Postcardsfrom the Edge'
Carrie Fisher proves that she's not
justanother Princess Leia. Her simple,
but eloquent screenplay reveals Hollywood life through actress Suzanne
Vale (Meryl Streep) and her famous
singing mother (Shirley MacLaine).

Cal State San Marcos receives

STACY SPEAKS
University president looks back at 1994
1 think the campus recognized
hat diversity
means there are a
lot of voices, and
that there's dignity
and integrity in a
lot of voices.'
Dr. Bill Stacy,
Cal State San Marcos
president
By Roman S. Koenig
A s t he year draws to a close, Cal S tate San Marcos
MJk h as begun to reflect on t he successes of 1994 as i t
m \ looks to t he f uture when f reshmen and sophomores join t he campus community in fall 1995. Dr. Bill
Stacy, university president, offered his t houghts on t he
accomplishments of 1994 Monday.
"The tremendous generosity of Mrs. (Ella) Thedinga
h as got to be a highlight," Stacy noted f irst. Thedinga, a
Rancho Bernardo resident, donated $500,000 t o CSUSM
for a scholarship f und. "The money itself is enormous and
wonderful, b ut t here is a symbolism t here t hat is so
r eassuring to me."
Thedinga serves as a symbol, according t o Stacy, for
those people in t he general community who have gone
f rom knowing n othing about t he university t o gaining
knowledge about t he i nstitution a nd i ts purpose t hrough
interaction with s tudents, faculty and staff.
"Most importantly, she met a connection in t he president of t he Associated S tudents. Michelle Sadova was a
very gracious host to h er," Stacy continued. "Out of t hat
association, t hen, Mrs. Thedinga h as p ut together t his
$500,000 scholarship endowment. So t hat's a highlight for
me, and as I say I d on't denigrate for one moment t he
enormous size of t hat money, b ut mostly i t's t he metaphor" t hat is i mportant.
Another of Thedinga's contacts on campus was Susan
Mendes of S tudent H ealth Services, Stacy added. T he
campus's S tudent Health Center h as since been renamed
in Thedinga's honor.
Another highlight for Stacy was t he increased enrollment experienced a t CSUSM t his semester. T he s tudent
population now s tands a t approximately 3,000, according
t o Stacy. A t hird highlight for CSUSM's president was a
day of r ecruiting young people f rom a rea high schools and
j unior highs in October.
"I t hink it was a day of saying to a lot of young people in
N orth County t hat 'You really can t hink about college.' If
not here, t hen Palomar (Community College) or MiraCosta
(Community College) or San Diego S tate," explained Stacy.
The president credited t he university's AVID program and
o ther campus services for making t he day successful.
"To see t hat (Founders') plaza j ust jammed full of high
school and middle school young people was a thrill to me,"
he added. "I t hink they felt (the university's) welcome
m at."
On t he academic side, Stacy noted t he additions of over
20 new faculty and staff members to CSUSM, including t he
h iring of Dr. Newton Margulies a s t he dean of t he College
of Business Administration and Dr. Fraricine Martinez as
dean of s tudents.
The creation of a general education package was another major accomplishment for t he university, h e said.
T hanks to t he work of Dr. Don F unes and Dr. Patricia
Seleski and h er committee, a major component of welcoming f reshmen and sophomores h as been completed, h e
continued.
" That's j ust an enormous, big piece of t he academic
p lanning of t his i nstitution," he said. "I've clearly got t o
say t hat was a main event."The y ear did not go by without i ts controversies and
disappointments, however. Most notable in Stacy's mind
was t he controversy over reported comments by s tate Sen.
William Craven (R-Oceanside) t hat Latinos be required t o
carry identification cards t o prove United S tates citizenship.
" That was a major source of, I t hink, discomfort for t he
folks a t t he campus and a lot of h urt feelings both ways,"
Stacy commented. " It was a reality t hat t he campus had t o
address."
"Another low-light, of course, was t he difficulty (at) t he
campus in t he face of two election results. One was, of
course, t he bond issue loss in J une, and our subsequent
hope t hat i t would get on t he November ballot," Stacy
continued. T he bond did not make November's ballot. "I
would very f rankly say t o you t hat was t he most disappointing t hing of all of t he series of low-lights."
The loss of t hat election has placed CSUSM in a t ight
squeeze, according to Stacy.
"The campus h as a momentum of growth and access,"
h e explained, "and t he new facilities a re so severely needed
for t he integrity of academic programs and plus, simply,
more s eats for more s tudents. So I really h ate t hat. I t h urts
u s r ather badly both in t he kind of t he spirit of moving
forward and i n... how (we) cope with t he absence of those
new buildings."
Temporary buildings a re on t heir way next fall to house
needed space for faculty, which he called t he "Faculty
Village." Already, a number of temporary buildings hold
classes in both performing and fine a rts a t t he east end of
campus across from University Services.
"The other (low-light) was t he focus of a ttention around
(Proposition) 187," Stacy added, "and yet I t hink t here
were some good conversations held on t he campus and I
t hink t he campus recognized t hat diversity means t here
a re a ldt of voices, and t hat t here's dignity and integrity in
a lot of voices."
Despite t he problems posed by t hese low-lights, Stacy
said h e believed t he campus addressed t he issues associated with t hem beautifully with events such as t he September debate on Proposition 187. The measure called for
t he denial of social and medical services to illegal immigrants in California, and passed in t he November election.

'Thinking computers'
will highlight national
competition Dec. 16
Pittinghumans against computers, the fourth annual Loebner
Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence will attempt to answer t he question "Can computers think?" The competition,
described by t he Wall Street Journal as a "ground breaking
battle" will be held Dec. 16 at Cal State San Marcos.
The program, which will begin at noon, includes a short
lecture by distinguished computer expert Dr. Oliver G. Selfridge,
followed by t he real-time competition from 1 to 4 p.m. The
winner of t he competition will be announced a t 5 p.m. All events
will take place in Academic Hall, room 206.
In t he Loebner contest, judges — all members of the national
media — "converse" with computer terminals, moving from
terminal to terminal. Some of t he terminals are controlled by
computer programs and some by hidden human confederates,
also members of the media. For t he 1994 event, conversation a t
each terminal is restricted to a single topic. After t he judges have
conversed with all t he computers, they rank-order t he terminals
from "least human" to "most human" and then t ry to guess
which terminal is which. Prizes will be awarded this year to both
t he "Most Human Computer" and t he "Most Human Human."
Spectators will be able to view each conversation as it unfolds,
to t ry their hand at a "mystery" terminal, and to complete their
own rating forms.
While this year's conversations will be restricted to certain
topics, next year there will be no topic restrictions. This year t he
author of t he winning software will receive $2,000 and a bronze
medal. When a computer passes an unrestricted test, t he grand
prize of $100,000 will be awarded and t he contest will be discontinued.
The 1994 finalists are considerably stronger t han in previous
years. Most come from t he mainstream Artificial Intelligence
community in t he United States and Europe. Among the contestants are a 14-year-old student from one of this country's top
prep schools and a team of eight programmers from England.
The contest was inspired by t he British mathematician and
computer pioneer Alan Turing. In 1950, Turing stated t hat when
a computer cannot be distinguished from a person, in conversation using computer terminals, t he computer could be said to be
"thinking" or intelligent.
The competition is named a fter Dr. Hugh G. Loebner of New
York City who funded the $100,000 challenge award.
Cal State San Marcos received
t he latgest single donation in its
young history in a ceremony Dec.
5.
Ella J . Thedinga of Rancho
Bernardo pledged $500,000 t o
f und an endowed scholarship a t
CSUSM. Thedinga presented t he
university with a $200,000 check,
the first installment oft he endowment.
The endowment will provide
five $2,000 scholarships in 1995
when CSUSM admits i ts f irst
freshman class. Having been associated with education for more
t han f our decades, T hedinga
wished t he "Ella J . Thedinga
Scholarship Endowment" to be
associated with t his historic class.
When fully funded, t he endowment is expected t o provide 20
scholarships per year, in perpetu-r
ity.
Thedinga and her late husband,
Dr. Ernest O. (Ted) Thedinga,
were associated with t he University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Dr.
Thedinga was a professor and ultimately vice president for student services for many years. Mrs.
T hedinga was a n e lementary
school teacher as well as t he hostess for many student events over
t he years.
"Mrs. Thedinga cares deeply
for students," said Dr. Bill Stacy,
CSUSM president. "As a teacher,
as a mentor, as a friend, she has
always been closely allied with
s tudents a nd s tudent services
throughout her professional career. I t is because of t his love for
students she established t his f und
which will help hundreds of students in perpetuity.
"As a new university, CSUSM
does not have the large endowments of older institutions. This
will be a wonderful cornerstone in
our efforts to provide financial support toour students," he explained.

Students can trade food for fines
The university library will be accepting food in lieu of book
fines from Dec. 5 to Dec. 23. The idea is to recover library
materials and help the less fortunate. Students are encouraged
not to miss this opportunity to wipe out their debts and do a good
deed a t the same time. No matter how high the fine, nonperishable food donations wil cover the debts during this time
period. However, this food drive does not include charges for lost
items. Food donations will be given to CSUSM Circle K to assist
them in their annual holiday food drive.
Financial aid workshops offered
Cal State San Marcos is holding financial aid workshops for
students who are entering the university in fall 1995.
The workshops will offer general financial aid information
and guidance on completing a financial aid application form.
Applicants may choose from workshops on J an. 7, 9:30 to 11:30
a.m. in ACD 102 or, J an. 23, 7 to 9 p.m. in the same location.
These free workshops are sponsored by CSUSM's Financial
Aid Office. No preregistration is required. Call 752-4850 for
additional information.
$25K grant awarded to Enrollment
Cal State San Marcos has received a $25,000 allocation from
t he CSU Chancellor's Office to assist in providing early notification to prospective students about admission and financial aid
eligibility.
P art of a $4 million fund established by t he CSU Board of
Trustees, CSUSM received t he maximum amount available for
this project. The funds will be used jointly by the offices of
Enrollment Services and Financial Aid to purchase a laptop
computer and software to take to local high schools and community colleges to enter application data and assess eligibility on
site. A temporary position will also be funded to provide this
service. Although the allocation is for one year, the purchase of
t he equipment and software will make it possible to provide this
service in t he future.
New program seeks volunteers
Do you have extra time on your hands? Do you want new
challenges? Cal State San Marcos is initiating a program to bring
volunteers onto the campus to provide services and expertise
throughout t he university's offices and classrooms.
Spearheaded by retired accounting professional Julie Heard,
the program seeks to match the expertise of community volunteers with campus needs in what is intended to be a mutually
beneficial experience. Volunteers will assist the university in
carrying out its educational objectives while simultaneously
benefitting from the many enriching experiences of the campus
environment.
The first volunteer positions to be recruited by Heard include:
reader/researcher to assist students with visual or auditory
impairments; test proctor to assist students with writing impairments in completing exams and to monitor exams; general office
assistant to work in student affirmative action; fiscal/accounting
assistant for the fiscal operations department; career resource
librarian in the career center to assist student in job searches
using library materials.
"There are a lot of talented people in our local community —
people who want to contribute their talents to someone who will
appreciate their efforts," noted Heard, a former manager for the
Internal Revenue Service who also coordinated approximately
1,000 volunteers for t he AARP's income tax assistance program
for the elderly.
For more information about the program and other volunteer
openings, call Heard or J ane Lynch, University Development, at

Spanish book center
has world-wide appeal
Reading is generally acknowledged to be the most powerful
educational tool to develop literacy. However, the fastest growing segment of the population,
Latinos, have only limited access
to books in their primary language.
Working on ways to remedy the
problem, California State University, San Marcos is home to the
only center in the world t hat focuses on books in Spanish for
young readers.
Cal State San Marcos's Center
for the Study of Books in Spanish
for Children and Adolescents,
headed by Dr. Isabel Schon, collects and evaluates books in Spanish and books in English about
Latinos from around the world.
The center is unique in its global
approach. While some Spanishspeaking countries have libraries
th&t focus on literature of their
own country, only Schon's center
includes works in Spanish for
young readers worldwide.
The center annually sponsors
a conference on Books in Spanish
for Young Readers. Held Nov. 19
at the San Diego Convention Center, this year the 4th annual conference, drew-more t han 1500
teachers, librarians and others
from across the United States,
Mexico, South America and Spain.
In addition, approximately 200
publishers and educational organizations, interested in tapping
into this new and emerging market, exhibited their publications
and programs.
The two keynote speakers at
the conference were Dr. David
William Foster and Jose Emilio
Pacheco. Foster is t he Regents'
Professor of Spanish at Arizona
State University, where he directs
the Graduate Program in Spanish
and is chair of the editorial committee of the Center for Latin
American Studies. A well-known
author and scholar, Foster has

numerous publications, literary
translations and awards. He also
served as a Fulbright scholar in
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay,
and as an Inter-American Development Bank Professor in Chile.
Dr. Foster's presentation focused on the importance of context and cultural characteristics
in translations. He discussed the
process of communicating and the
importance of cultural context in
accurate translations, especially
when dealing with literature for
young readers.
Jose Emilio Pacheco has been
a key literary figure in Mexico for
more than 30 years. A renown
poet, he is also respected for his
translations and adaptations of
dramatic works. He has won
Mexico's National Drama Critics
Award, the National Poetry Award
from the state of Aquascalientes,
t he Magda Donato Award, t he
Villaurrutia Award, the Cultural
Journalism National Award, the

Literature Award for his collection of works.
cont iued from front page
view is part of what CSUSM is
about, Stacy noted.
"I think there's a sense t hat as
we commit ourselves around here
to achieving excellence through
diversity, we want to keep a respectful dialogue on our table and
I think we just must not shrink
one tiny bit from our mission of
achieving excellence through diversity," he concluded.
"Indeed, I think we're going to
have to be smarter about it and
rtiore ruggedly determined to
achieve excellence through diversity. There is a crassness, maybe a
potential bitterness t hat is about,
and we'll have to be very smart to
keep on the table the legitimate
ends of celebrating diversity, empowering it, achieving excellence
(and) making sure we're better as
a university."
Pacheco discussed the importance of reading. He exhorted t he
participants to do everything they
can to help others enjoy the simple
a rt of reading. He explained how
readers, by engaging the imagination, can travel anywhere in t he
world, within any time frame, and
meet anyone they wish.
Conference attendees also had
the opportunity to interact with
the two keynote speakers as well
as more t han 35 other authors of
books in Spanish for young readers. In "Meet the Author" sessions, participants talked with
authors and illustrators from the
United States, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Honduras and Argentina.

�Remember culture when interviewing
You have heard it time and again: a
successful interview begins with a firm
handshake, good eye contact and a professional, confident demeanor. But for many
job h unters, these behaviors contradict
one's traditional values and beliefs. Cultural influences often have significant effect on our ability to "break in" to professional fields.
Many of us who have been raised outside
of the dominant culture in American society have has to overcome some problems in
this a rea. For example, as an Asian woman

culture this is considered disrespectful. This

Organization pulls weight with trustees
The California State Student Association (CSSA) has had an incredible semester.
We played a vital role in convincing t he
California State University Board of Trustees to go to t he State of California (instead
of to t he students) for t he proposed 10
percent fee increase for t he 1995-96 academic year. Our priorities for t he rest of t he
academic year include t he CSU Budget, t he
CSU Master Plan, student fees and financial aid, student services and educational
l/as
equity, and alternative funding sources for
our organization.
If you are interested in issues surrounding t he student perspective in CSU systemwide policies and decisions, I would encourage you to get involved. We have a committee t hat discusses these issues. It is called
t he CSSA committee and you can get information about it in the Associated Students
office (Commons 205). Have a wonderful
holiday break.

Peer Advisors are here to help students
Well, here it is — t he end of t he fall
semester. We bet you a re wondering what
is happening with the Peer Advisors (NOT).
I t h as been a great semester and we have
learned a lot helping students with t heir
questions and concerns. But, some students still do not know who we are and
what we do.
The Peer Advisors are a group of students who are trained to understand most
of t he questions t hat come up surrounding
t he majors within t he College of Arts and
Sciences. We can help you plan out your
schedule, choose a special field, see what
class from a local community college will fit
into your needed classes and find a faculty
member. We are located on t he sixth floor
of Craven Hall outside t he offices of Lora
Coad, Andres Favela and Leslie Zomalt.
Before you go on to t he next article,
t here are a couple of important dates coming up. December 9 is t he deadline for
spring 1995"early registration. J an. 10,
1995 is schedule adjustment day for continuing students, and J an. 23 begins t he
late registration and schedule adjustment
for all students. We hope you have had a
great semester and please come up and see
us sometime.

�Do we really follow 'Mission V
Shame on us! While we've been busy
patting ourselves on the back, wallowing in
the glow of the virtuosity of our liberal
enlightenment, we have failed to realize we
may be just a horde of self-righteous hypocrites, much like those t hat we profess to
deplore! Convictions require consistency.
No one has to "walk-the-walk" as well as
"talk-the-talk" 24 hours a day — or he is
living a lie!
We may have unintentionally proven
t hat our Mission Statement is more " fluff'
than "stuff." While we find satisfaction in
its idealistic rhetoric, we may feel application need only be conditional rather than
universal.
The Cal State San Marcos Mission Statement reads,"... [student are encouraged to]
seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions ... [and will]
focus on ... concerns of race, gender, and
cultural d i v e r s i t y T h e key words are to
understand, not to judge, but judgment of
human behavior, culture, values and institutions appear to be made more often on
this campus than does understanding! This
claim is supported by our attitudes involving classmates and the more visible "Craven Controversy" which has been causing
shockwaves recently on our campus.
How many times have we privately or
publicly dismissed, discounted, or even attacked, statements made by classmates t hat
we are politically or philosophically opposed to? Probably more often than not,
especially if the statements were made by
someone not representing a cultural minority. The point is t hat the opinions of
those who constitute the mainstream (i.e.,
white, middle-class, and/or male) warrant
the same consideration as those coming
from other segments of the social order. If
we do not accept this premise, neither can
we claim to be in support of the university's
Mission Statement. A bigger danger lies in
t hat by ignoring (or even worse, judging)
the issues or concerns of any group, regardless of gender, class or race, we will only
allow ill feelings to fester until simple issues of social concern become major social
problems!
While the initial call to remove any reference of Craven from the campus sounded
'Thanfc
rational, t he same principle mentioned
above applies. If the call to remove his
name and bust had been accepted, at least
- it would have illustrated t hat we are t rue to
our convictions, no matter how faulty they
may be. Unfortunately, t he mere refusal to
attempt to understand what life experiences have led the senator to feel the way he
does was not the end of the story. An additional commentmade on campus by a member of student government has lent support
to my claim t hat we have acted more as
hypocrites t han the "enlightened individuals" t hat t he Mission Statement promises
to t urn us into.
This student's statement seemed to imply t hat the justification for not approving
a resolution calling for t he elimination of
Craven's name from campus was financially motivated. The impression left was
t hat t he university should not send a message t hat we reserve t he right to disagree
with those who are in a position to help us.
This rationale essentially expresses t hat
convictions are conditional, and with aprice
tag attached!
Here is our dilemma: (1) We must stand
consistent behind the convictions expressed
in our Mission Statement and be tolerant of
"all" social groups including t he mainstream; (2) we must be honest with ourselves and reject the total philosophy of t he
Mission Statement if we cannot bring ourselves to listen to the concerns of all segments of society; or (3) we must edit t he
Mission Statement to read t hat "we are
willing to seek to understand only those
whose behavior, culture and values wejudge
as acceptable." The last alternative would
be a moral, travesty. The second, although
steeped in honesty, would be a cop out, but
the first would allow us to once again walk
with our heads held high.

history major.

�Survey finds
Americans want to
be healthy
A recent survey by Day-Timers, Inc. found t hat the
majority of working Americans (78 percent) listed
getting more exercise as a personal health goal, 59
percent wanted to eat better and 40 percent indicated
they wanted to reduce stress at work.
According to Dr. Donald Hensrud, a preventive
medicine specialist with the Mayo Clinic, personal
fitness, nutrition and stress management are key to
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, the DayTimers survey finds t hat more than one-third ofAmerican workers exercise only once or twice a month or
less, over half (53 percent) eat fast-food at least once a
week and only 15 percent said they have been able to
reduce stress at work.
"With nearly two-thirds of the workforce (62 percent) admitting t hat they constantly feel rushed, things
probably seem to be spinning out of control," noted
Loren Hulber, Day-Timers president. "We encourage
people to take t hat control back in order to live a
healthier lifestyle."
Experts say t hat a combination of writing down goals,
using a reward system and incorporating activities into a
daily schedule is critical to keeping people motivated
toward achieveing healthy-minded goals.
CSUSM to host
prevention forum
Student Health Services will be hosting the Annual
Intercollegiate Drug and Alcohol Prevention Forum on

�Know your

AIDS now a global
problem
DR. JOEL GRINOLDS
It may have passed you by. It is
no wonder since everyone is so
busy the last few weeks of t he
semester. However, Wednesday,
December 1, 1994, was World
AIDS Day. Yes, AIDS is truly a
global problem. An estimated 17
million persons world-wide have
been infected with HIV since t he
onset of t he pandemic and each
day 6000 additional persons become infected.
In t he United States as of J une
1994, t here have been 401,749
cases ofAIDS reported. The number of people who test positive for
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency
Virus) infection is estimated t o be
1.5 million.
"~
"
I am often asked if we a re seeing many cases of AIDS a t Student Health Services. In t ruth,
the answer is no and likewise, we
don't know what percentage of
college students t est positive for
HIV. In San Diego County t here
have been about 6000 AIDS cases
and an estimated 50,000 people
who are test positive for HIV.
According to a study by t he
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
and the American College Health
Association t here is an HIV infection r ate of 0.2% or one in 500
college students. Nationally, i t is
estimated t hat between 25,000
and 35,000 college s tudents are
infected with HIV.
Women and children are t he
group t hat is currently rising t he
fastest in terms of percentage of
BE A
cases ofAIDS. This demonstrates
f urther t hat HIV/AIDS is becoming a heterosexual problem; point
college-age students need to pay
attention to. Unfortunately, a t
t he recent World Conference on
HIV/AIDS, t he news related t o
t reatment and a possible vaccine
is not very encouraging.
These statistics present both
good and bad news. The good
news is t hat t he r ate of HIV infection is about what you might see
in t he general population and
lower t han t he rates in high-risk
groups such as homosexual males,
IV d rug users or people attending
STD clinics. The bad news is t hat
i t exists and h as t he potential for
serious spread in t he campus community.
We also know risky behaviors
exist on campuses due to the prevalence ofother STDs and unwanted
pregnancies. This information
underscores t he need to persuade
college students to use condoms,
limit t he number of t heir sexual
p artners and otherwise reduce
t heir risk of becoming infected.
Once again prevention is t he
best medicine. "Prevention ofHIV
infection through education and
interventions to help develop and
maintain safe behaviors t hat will
reduce t he risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission
of all institutions of higher education," s tate t he authors of t he
CDC study.
Need I say more!

primary physician receive more
comprehensive annual exams.
While 51 percent of women seeing internists received external
(breast and abdominal) examinations, gynecologists performed
these exams on 70 percent of t heir
patients. Nearly twice as many
women (68 percent versus 37 percent) received internal pelvic exams from gynecologists. Forty-two
percent of women consulting an
internist had a Pap smear, compared to t he 78 percent seeing a n
ob/gyn. To avoid missing important screenings, Ramona I. Slupik,
M.D., Northwestern University
Medical School, advises:
• Tell your doctor u p f ront t hat
he or she is your "one and onlyw or
it may be assumed another physician is giving certain tests.
• I n addition to t he annual gynecological exam, expect checks
of your blood pressure, weight,
urine, cholesterol and pulse.
• Asa safeguard, keep your own
checklist of t ests performed.
• Request a copy of your medical records to personally trackyour
health history.
CO detectors
for the home
Experts now say t hat carbon
monoxide detectors are as important t o home safety as smoke detectors. Consider these facts:
• According t o t he J ournal of
t he American Medical Association
(JAMA), carbon monoxide is t he
No. 1 cause of poisoning death in
t he U.S., responsible for 1,500
deaths and 10,000 illnesses each
year.
• Post Graduate Medicine reports t hat one t hird of all survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning have lasting memoiy deficits
or personality changes.
• Any home with a furnace,
heater, fireplace, or appliance t hat
operates on flammable fuel such
as n atural gas, oil, wood, coal or
kerosene is a potential candidate
for indoor air pollution from improperly vented carbon monoxide.
• Carbon monoxide can be detected. First Alert, for example,
manufactures a b attery operated
carbon monoxide detector t hat
continues to operate even in t he
event of a power outage.
Staying on a diet while
traveling
Can you lose weight while
traveling? F at chance, some
might say, b ut t he t ruth is i t
can actually be easier to e at
healthy while you are traveling t han when you a re a t
home.
When ordering in a restaurant, look for dishes prepared with low-fat cooking
methods such as broiling,
roasting, steaming, or grilling. Skip rich sauces and
dressings, or ask for them on
t he side. And do not be afraid
to ask for fried or f attening
entrees to be prepared differently. Most chefs will honor
your request.
Hotel r estaurants around
t he country a re particularly
answering consumers' demands for great-tasting, yet
low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol menu choices. Omni
Hotels is one example of t his
effort. Executive chefs from
t he hotel chain recently developed new recipes for i ts "Simply Healthy" menu program.
"Simply Healthy" menu items
f eature healthy ingredients,
with a high percentage offruit,
pastas, grains, and legumes.
Fish, lean meats, or poultry
without skin are also highlighted. The "Simply Healthy"
dishes are cooked with low-fat
cookingmethods and use light,
flavorful sauces.
The culinary creativity of
t he Omni chefs has resulted in
appetizers, entrees and desserts such as grilled skinless

group to the class.
Their songs, laments and
lullabies from people in exile
are in Judeo-Spanish, which
was the medieval Castillian
Spanish, spoken in Spain five
hundred years ago. Many
people refer to it as Ladino.

on calling it Ladino. "Ninetynine percent is pure Spanish,

�Candid view
of Cal State
San Marcos
Students at CSU San Marcos
commented about their professors—"Excellent," "Political,"
"Above average," "One extreme
or another—not much in between," "They were selected
very carefully," "Most of mine
are interested in students understanding t heir subjects,"
"They treat u s with respect,"
and "About a B" according to a
recently published book: DISCOVER THE CSU: A Subjective Guide to the California State
University System.
U sing candid comments of
s tudents t o describe l ife at
CSUSM and t he other CSU
campuses, authors Pat Dever
and Margy Arthur have published an interesting reference
book about t he CSU system.
The authors gathered information for their 208-page book i n
t he spring o f1994 after visiting
each campus at least two times.
The book provides a very positive narration of t he academics, activities and campus life at
all t he CSU campuses.
One goal of t he authors w as
to inform t he public about t he
many advantages available at
t he CSU campuses. Dever said,
"The CSU i s t he largest system
higher education i n t he United
States. CSUs such as CSU San
Marcos (which s et a record i n
quickly becominga fully accredited university) offer u nique
opportunities t o students.
Dr. Barry Munitz, Chancellor of T he CSU s ystem, described DISCOVER THE CSU
as "a well researched, extremely
informative book t hat will be
an invaluable resource guide
for p otential CSU s tudents.
This i s exactly t he kind o f book
that s tudents should consult
before embarking on their college careers."
U sing t he information and
experience gained from visiting colleges, t he authors knew
what information prospective
students wanted t o know before enrolling at a college. The
students mainly ask, "Will I f it
in here? What are t he other
students like? What are t he
housing options? How long will
it take m e t o get a degree? Will
I need a car? How hard is it to
get the classes I want?" The
book covers t hese concerns
and more.
P rospective C SU S an
Marcos students are encouraged to tour the campus before applying. Certainly the
s tudents w ho r ead DISCOVER THE CSU will be
anxious to se CSUSM firsthand. The chapter on CSUSM
concludes w ith "Discover t he

t he future of a major university at California State University, San Marcos.

Prop 203 makes building 15 a reality
Photo courtesy of Public Affairs
By Tony Barton
Editor-in-Chief
Construction will begin
on a new building a t Cal
S tate S an M arcos, if
proposition 203, a $3 billion bond measure aimed
a t California education, is
passed by California voters in the March 26 election.
T he b uilding, called
Building 15, has been designed to accommodate
offices^ classrooms, and
labs, as well as hosting
new d istance l earning
technology. Prop 203 provides $14.5 million for t he
building's construction
and for modifications to
the campus utility plant.
T he following y ear, i t
would provide $1.5 million to equip building 15.
Building would begin
October, 1996, iffunds are
available, and would be
completed by J une of
1998. I t would house labs
for Business Administration, Foreign Languages,
Literature and Writing,
Psychology, Social Sciences, and Education.
On t he technological
side, video broadcasts will
be accessible from each lab
and classroom, and 300
stations will be capable of
broadcasting as well as receiving.
Plans state t hat four
high end multimedia stations will be contained
within t he buildingfor the
development of digital instruction modules, and
each classroom and lab
will have network connec-
tion.
Design work on a permanent library for Cal
State San Marcos would
also be funded with $1.1
million by Prop. 203.
Even with t he addition
of Building 15, campus
growth would still be behind schedule when compared to the number of
new students t he University plans to take in each
year.
K-12 schools would receive $2 billion, while $975
million would be divided
among the community colleges, University of California and t he California
S tate U niversity campuses.
A similar proposition
t hat would have given
birth to Building 15 was
proposed in 1994, b ut was
shot down by voters. Since
then, additions have been
made in Building 15's telecommunication capabilities, according to Campus
Physical Planning Director Russel Decker.
Building 15 is one oftwo
new buildings in the next
budget year for t he California S tate University
System.
Proposition 203 is supported by t he California

Trustees, University of
California Board of Regents, and the California

largest private donation
By Charles Stegmiller
Staff Writer
Leonard Evers donated $341,000 in
appreciated stocks to establish the
Leonard and Jean Evers Endowed
Scholarship. Ihisthelargestprivte cash
donationgivento CSUSM to date. With
an endowed scholarship, only the interest generated by the donation is
used while the principal amount remains in perpetuity.
In order to be eligible to apply for
this scholarship, students must demonstratefinancialneed and academic
accomplishment, have a grade point
average of at least 3.0, and be a U.S.
citizen. The interest earned by the donation should be enough to provide
about ten students with scholarships.
Evers felt that through this endowment, he and his wife could help students in their efforts in higher education, an opportunity that they never
had. The Evers are childless, but have

AVID (Advancement Via Individual
Determination) held a motivational conference for North Countyjunior high and
high school students on February 9th.
AVID is a program that helps secondary
school students think about educational
goals through workshops and conferences. The AVID program, founded
seven years ago in San Diego county,
worked in conjunction with the Student
Affirmative Action (SAA) of CSUSM to
put on this special event.
Over 300 studentsfromvarious North
County high schools and junior high
schools were presented with numerous
interactive workshops organized around
t he central t heme "Empowerment
through knowledge." A staff of mostly
CSUSM faculty and students was well
prepared for the small mass of youngster. Some motivational speakers spoke
to the students on issues like goal development, confidence, and self empowerment and advisors and computer lab technicians introduced them to the library
and computer resources here on campus.
Steven Jones, the opening speaker,
initiated the day by creating an amiable,
spontaneous atmosphere. After Jones
cited a poem which illustrated the need
for human understanding and empathy,
the audience was clearly attentative and
receptive. Speaking in a language the
students could clearly relate with J ones
addressed the importance of self-awareness and self-empowerment through a
desire for knowledge. "We all need to be
truth seekers," Jones stressed. Among
the other motivational speakers were
Veronica Woodrow, an Organizational
Effectiveness SpecialistfromSan Diego,
and CSUSM TRIO Director and motivational trainer Calvin One Deer Gavin.
According to Mary Wardell, the SAA
outreach coordinator, theconference was
a big success. "The overwhelming positive response from the students let us
know that these programs are imperative for high school students under-represented in colleges. They in encourage
the students to pursue higher education
and career goals," said Wardell.
Deciding whether or not to go to college isatough choice to make, especially

Support education
On the March 27 ballot is Prop
203, a measure that would, if
passed, allot $17 million to Cal EDITORIAL
State San Marcos over a two-year period. Additional classroom
space and labs (in the planned "Building 15") would be spawned
from the additional funds as well as plans for a permanent library.
Even with the addition of Building 15, CSUSM would still be
behind in it's expansion to compensate for the forecasted rise in
number of students in the years to come. What it comes down to is
CSUSM plans to accept an additional number of students each year.
Two things will happen without the addition of more classroom
space. Firstly, not as many new students will be accepted as the
University has planned. Secondly, the school's population will still
increase to some extent, raising class sizes and making it harder for
students to get needed classes
One of the pluses of CSUSM is the small class size. The Pride
would like to keep it that way.
The Pride supports Prop. 203, and recognizes that additional
funds are anecessity to keep up with the constantiy advancing world,
as well as to offer higher education to as many as possible, without
sacrificing the quality of the education those currently enrolled are
experiencing.
Casting a vote for 203 is supporting education. If it fails, those who
voted against it have merely taken a step to negate planned growth
and advancement, and deny students a superior learning environment
Students are at CSUSM to experience a superior learning environment, and one not caught in the established bureaucracy of decades
past This university isfresh,new and energized with revolutionary
curriculum and technology. For CSUSM to retain it's academic
edge, growth through funds provided by Prop. 203 is mandatory.

The attitudes of the Industrial Era are
some that most people are not particularly
fond of. Child labor and poverty was at it's
worst. This was the time of the American
Dream. That dream has over time, morphed
into welfare checks and college loans.
Most people believe that big business is
bad. Punks hold the belief that corporations
ruin everyday life. As you read this article,
a multi-million dollar company, England
based Penguin Books Lmt (publishes selfhelp books, RAW, Stephen King, and half
of your educational literature) is suing my
small press comic book company, Penguin
Palace (publishes Tori do, Thief, and Avalanche) for $100,000.
I'm guessing that most of you have never
seen $100,000.1 certainly haven't. I'm 17
years old, and a business major at this University. My parents are paying my way
through school, not my company or the
government. In 1994, Penguin Books made
$75,000,000while Penguin Palace had $250
to its name. I do comics because they make
people laugh, not because I'm going to buy
Lithuania and turn it into a refuge for sunburnt penguins.
Last fall, Penguin Books saw my WWW
page. If you netsearch the word "penguin,"
Penguin Palace is listed before Penguin
Books. They set their New York lawyers
after me on trademark violation, which
means that I can't use the word "Penguin"
or a penguin drawing in the company name
or logo. Someone please find me a live
penguin who can verbally tell a judge that
their identity shouldn't have a trademark on
it. How many similar companies have the
word "women" in their name, or uses a cat
as a symbol?
In the Industrial Era, a large company
would find silly reasons to shut down smaller
ones, to have a larger slice of the pie. Competition is a large part of business. A lot of
times, people who read novels on a frequent
basis aren't the same type of people who
collect comics. People aren't going to confuse the two companies, Penguin Palace
and Penguin Books.
I KOLB
T
uwJoY€E
Big companies have an advantage because
they have the expensive lawyers on their
side. They could be suing me for writing on
the wrong side of a sheet of notebook paper,
and would still win the case. There are lawyers who offer free legal help, but what
happens if you have a case that doesn't
qualify?
Why should a multi-million dollar company be afraid of a 17 year old, just because
of the person's ability to use a computer?
Computers are not that complicated. There
are a lot of people younger than me who can
code 3D games, viewers, and other useful
applications. I don't run linux and I haven't
learned HTML yet. Only 2% of the world's
population is on the Internet, but Penguin
Books seems to think that because of my
WWW page and involvement with electronic
magazines, that I am a threat to their company.
In the Industrial Era, there was a lack of
information and education. Schools are now
pushing for computer literacy and higher
education. That's scaring corporate businessmen sitting in stuffy conference rooms who
can intimidate their competition.

Dear Editor,
I wished to applause t he fine

or keys locked in t he car, t he
willing and able officers of Public Safety have been ready to
jump to the rescue with jumper
cables or a slim-jim in hand. It
was not until my car had a dead
battery at San Diego State University t hat I realized t he
uniqueness of even these basic
of services.
It was 5 P.M. on Tuesday
night, and my car was dead in a
parking garage of S.D.S.U. I
didn't have jumper cables with
me, and I couldn't find anyone
else with a set either. Conditions were not right for popping t he clutch, sol finally
flagged down a S.D.S.U. police
car. After hearing my story, I
was told t hat t he San Diego
State Public Safety office does
not offer vehicle jumping services, as they were afraid of
shorting out their electrical system. I was then strongly advised to call a tow truck tojump
my battery. Thinking t hat this
most, a poor one. My only option was to call a tow company
to perform a two minute operation at the price of $40-a good
half of my bank account. Luckily it was only 7 P.M. and I was
able to call my girlfriend to drive
from San Marcos to help me. I
am still confused as to why

Although I would concede his
opint refering to women as
'girls' is not necessarily sexist,
it is undoubtably patronizing.
Until rather recently, AfricanAmerican men were frequently
called "boys" by Caucasian men.
Very few, if any, of t hese
Caucasian men were visually
impaired, and could t hus easily
, observe these grown men were
in no way "boys." So there must
be another reason for their use
of this term. I submit t hat it
was an attempt to alienate these
African-American men, and to
"keep them in their place" by
refusing to acknowledge their
status as adults.
Similarly, when men refer to
obviously grown women' as
"girls," it is a veiled attempt to
"keep them in their place," or
as Mr. Vitrano suggests, a t

Mr. Vitrano confessed that

him. Well, I must admit I was
rather "disturbed" by his idea
of p ersonal i mprovement,
especially when it appears to

I question how my objections

'nice people'
To the Editor,
On Nov. 15, in the afternoon,
I left my wallet in one of the
women's restrooms in the ACD
building. The very second I
realized I had forgotten it, I
panicked! It contained a wad of
cash, apaycheck, not to mention
my d river's licence, c redit
card,etc. I began to immediately
- envision the immense hassle of
replacing all I had lost. This
was an additional stress I did
not need! At my realization, I
ran out of clas, and proceeded
to go directly to the restrookm
where I knew I had left it. It
wasn't there! I ran to every class
on the first floorto ask ifanyone
had seen my wallet. Crazy?
As the classes ended, some of
my classmates saw me, and of
course wondered what had
h appened (I looked so
distressed). One ofthe girls said
to check the lost and foundat
student services. She said there
were a lot af really nice people
on campus and that somebody
probbly t urned it in. I was
feeloing a little skeptical, but as
we wlked in the door to student
servies, there it was! And not a
thing was missing!
There are nice people on this
campus! I'd like to say a very
special thank-you to the student
who r eturned my w allet

returned to you some day!

teachers do

Dear Editor,
San Diego teachers should
be placed on a merit systemperiod. They should receive
merit raises for producing a top
notch competitive product. But
no- their union tells them to
strike, so they go on strike. If
their union bosses told them td
put their heads between their
legs, they'd probably do t hat
too. The few caring teachers
who did cross the picket line
werejeered at for beingtraitors.
Striking teachers should be

question: Why should they be

producing an inferior product?
In t he p rivate sector, poor
performance gets you fired. In
California government schools,
it means you deserve a raise. It
is obvious t hat t he "victim"
mentality has trickled into the
r anks of government school
teachers- a nother symptom
t hat government doesn't work.
And why should teachers be
rewarded for making threats to
California taxpayers-like the

should reward them with a

naive t hat they would want to
subsidize extortionists or poor
performance. If government
school teachers are unhappy
with their salaries, they should
find a job at a private school, or
better yet, their own. But when

If this is how you are spending your

As you catch yourself going round

Rehearsing some important

If not, STOP! If you are

How to stop? Distract yourself. Find
something less destructive to think
about, or do something t hat you can
make progress on. These usually result
in an enhanced mood and sense of purpose. What you do next will likely be
better...
If this doesn't work, you could try a
technique called "Thought Stopping":
when you are in t hat negative stream of
thought, dwelling repeatedly on t he
hopelessness and unfairness of it a ll,
suddenly scream "Stop!!" to yourself
and perhaps picture a huge red Stop
sign in your mind's eye. You will notice
t hat this scream, this image, actually
does interrupt t he stream of thought
momentarily. As it does, and you go
blank, take a slow, deep breath, smile a
little bit, and redirect your thinking to
more pleasant or useful directions.
Break the job down into parts, and
focus on doing one part at a time. For
many students, procrastination includes
the thought of the work to do as immense and overwhelming. Doing the
work seems impossible and horrible be-

Narcissism featured at Center for the Arts
By Carrie Tyler
Staff Writer
Artists reflect themselves in Narcissism at California Center for the Arts
Escondido. This unique exhibition examines how artists depict themselves and
others. Through working in painting,
photography, sculpture, and installation,
thirty-two local, national, and international
artists feature themselves in their work as
they explore their "roles as individuals
and artists, image makers and storytellers, directors and actors, men and
women."
Works include self-portraits by renown artist Andy Warhol, the redefinition
of portraiture pieces of Chuck Close. Recreations of themselves are brought to life
by photographers Cindy Sherman and
Yasumura as they recreate themselves in
various settings and guises in their portrait paintings. Audrey Flack's powerful
bronze sculpture portrays woman as goddess and evokes her belief of the power
that artists have.
Walking through the museum you
can's help but notice some of these magnificent creations. Dennis Oppenheim's
"theme for a Major Hit" entertains you
with its ten mechanical marionettes that
dance to "It ain't what you make, ifs what
makes you". Tim Hawkinson's "Signature" is a fascinating desk with motors
that creates actual signatures. Audrey
Flack's statue of "Islandia, Goddess of the
Healing Waters" overshadows you with
an omnipresent beauty all its own. Bruce
Nauman's wax castings ofthe heads ofhis
studio assistant and friends catches you
by surprise as they dangle on strings.
Janine Antoni's "lick and Lather" sculptures of chocolate and soap reference
purity,hygiene,and everydayrituals. Kim
Dingle invite you into her "Priss Room"

These artists have been brought together to illustrate their different and individualistic techniques to face and represent themselves.
In conjunction with this exhibition
John Welchman, Assistant Professor at
UCSD, will present a slide lecture onThursday, February 29, entitled "Faces and Powers". It will be held in the California Center
for the Arts Center Theater at 7 p.m. and is
free.
Also as part of Narcissism, San Diego artist, David Baze will use the museum as a stage to paint a portrait of him
self from March 9 through March 15 in
the Museum Gallery during Museum
hours.
Narcissism started on February 4
and ends May 26 with the museum's hours
Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5
p.m., Sundays 12 to 5 p.m., and closed on
Mondays and major holidays. For more

Largest donation
funds library design
By T o n y Barton
Editor-in-Chief

Responses to
student library
suggestions
When a proposition that would have
funded the design of a permanent library struc
ture for Cal State San Marcos failed in 1994,
the idea was lost in the minds of campus offi
cials. Lost, that is, until last week.
A $1 million donation, the largest single
donation received by the university, was given
by Keith and Jean Kellogg of Rancho Santa
Fe, for the design of a permanent library build
ing. It will be paid over a two year period.
“We hope this gift will advance our li
brary on the CSU Trustees' priority list for
K eith Kellogg
construction projects. I know that the legisla............... rrn ^ ....... - ture and the governor will appreciate their
..
generosity as much as we do on this campus," said President Bill Stacy.
Keith Kellogg, 89, is the grandson of Kellogg cereal company founder
W.K Kellogg. He and his wife have been committed philanthropists, do
nating funds to various universities around the country.
The Kelloggs have supported CSUSM in the past. They established a
scholarship endowment with a $100,000 donation to CSUSM and gave
$50,000 to aid a Student Union feasibility study
Design work on the campus library will take approximately 18 months,
according to campus physical planning director Russell Decker.
The library building itself bears a construction price-tag of $31.5 mil
lion. The university hopes to receive state grants and further donations to
cover the cost. Construction will take roughly 20 months, Decker said.

The library building, seen here in front of Craven Hall, will be :
designed over an 18 month period. Once funding is secured, its
estimated construction time is 20 months.

As a student of CSUSM, I have been very pleased
w/ the library services. However, perhaps you could
switch the PAC island with the 1st island you
see as you enter the library (island #4). This way
students won’t try to access books on the computer
periodical index.
Thanks for the input This is a problem we
have noticed and during this coming winter break
we will in fact be switching the islands so that the
PAC island will be closest to the front door. We
decided to wait for winter break so as not to con
fuse students in the middle of the semester. So look
for it in spring semester!

If you mean from within the “rotunda” area,
a sign does need to be posted and we have discussed
this with Facility Services. Other than that, [re
sponse from Facility Services] all the directories
in CRA state that the Library is on 3rd....and all
the campus directories indicate that it is on CRA

Quartet to play Spanish compositions
^te u tc A a ru C
I know most of you who have been reading my column
have come to expect very little from me in terms of depth or
knowledge. While it’s true I don’t always know what I’m talk
ing about, I also never try to delude anyone into thinking I do.
I classify myself as an observer, not a doctor, or an ex
pert at anything. Just someone who gets a kick out of putting
in my two cents even when it hasn’t been asked for.
Having said all that, (and keeping in mind that you get
what you pay for) I just can’t seem to shake this feeling that
something is rather stinky in Academia. As I said, I’m no ex
pert, but even I can smell it.
I’ve heard rumors that the university’s Literary Society
is getting some flak from certain higher-ups (who will remain
unidentified) about its publication known as “Guts.”
It seems that “someone” is worried that a fictional char
acter found in a rather informative article concerning the im
portance of good telephone etiquette, might possibly sue the
school. As a result, the publication may be suspended until
the society can purchase $1,300 worth of insurance.
Of course, it’s not the uncensored content of the publica
tion that has the Admin..., I mean, “someone”, having hissy
fits. It’s simply that the university can ill-afford a lawsuit this
early in its existence. Unfortunately, though the fictional char
acters are, well, fictional, the money “they” want the society
to come up with, isn’t. Seems like a rather large sum for a
new club, but what do I know aboutJjijaq£es^ Jjkg J said, I’m
no expert.
Now here’s the part that really has me stumped. The uni
versity is worried about a fictional, (that means “imaginary”)
person suing the school and threatening its closure, but isn’t
concerned a bit about holding classes while a fire creeps down
the hillside behind the school, feet away from turning every
body into human marshmallows. Innocent students, blindly
trusting those in power to make the right decisions concern
ing their safety sit helplessly in their classes, leaving their
fates to a quick shift in the wind and Mother Nature’s outra
geous sense of humor.
Now, even someone with as little knowledge of the legal
system as I have, might think there’s a little, itty-bitty prob
lem here, and I’m not talking about anything as trivial as makebelieve characters using nasty words.
If I were a parent, oh, that’s right, I am, I’d much rather
my college-age kids be exposed to a little racy reading than a
raging inferno. Call me crazy, but! think they’ve probably
heard it all before, anyway.
Though I don’t generally agree with this whole sue-happy
thing, you can bet I’d be the first in line if my kid’s life was
put in danger because someone who was supposed to know
better didn’t, and I doubt I’d be alone in feeling this way.
Yet, somebody, somewhere thinks this action was less of
a risk for a potential lawsuit than a nice little literary maga
zine that gives students an arena to show their stuff. Now,
correct me if I’m wrong but there doesn’t seem to be a bit of
logic in any of this, which leads me to another theory, my
own opinion, of course.
Now, you’re going to have to work with me here, but
what if the objection to “Guts” doesn’t really have anything
to do with anybody suing anybody ?!? What if “someone” just
doesn’t like it?
If it truly is the fear of a lawsuit that motivates the deci
sion concerning “Guts,” then perhaps a request by “some
one” for a disclaimer at the front of the publication, you know,
one of those statements about “any resemblance to anybody
living, or dead, or both, is just plain dumb”, might serve to
ward off the evil legal spirits who threaten the financial secu
rity of our illustrious institution.
But if all this hoopla is really just the bureaucracy’s way
of telling us we can’t be trusted to choose our own reading
materials, then perhaps they need to look at the choice they
made last Tuesday and figure out if they think they can do
any better.
(Any relationship, incidentally, between “someone,”,
“them” or “they” and any university administrator, either liv
ing or dead, is purely coincidental.)

Review
Slur 'Pocho' given new meaning
By Paul Hilker
Pride Staff Writer
It used to be that calling a Latino a “pocho” was
like calling ^ blackperson an “ofeo,” a derogatory term
to refer to someone who had lost his language and cul
ture.
But, thanks to a political cartoonist and a rapper,
it is now becoming a popular form of political com
mentary.
On Nov. 7, cartoonist Lalo Lopez and Esteban Zul,
lead rapper of the Berkeley rap group, Aztlan Nation,
will bring their version of political satire to Cal State
San Marcos. The multimedia presentation of San Diego-based POCHO Productions, entitled “National
Pochismo Heritage Month,” can be viewed from from
12:30 to 1:30 pm in ACD 102.
Using slides and a PA system, Lopez will exhibit
works from his cartoon strip, “L. A. Cucaracha,” which
is published in L.A. Weekly, SF Weekly, HISPANIC
magazine and various other sources. Zul then will in
troduce POCHO Magazine, which he and Lopez have
been publishing since 1990.
Then the two will feature two current video
projects, “mockumentaries” filmed by POCHO Pro
ductions: “Hispanics for Wilson in Walk Softly,
Pedro” and “Unmasked!: The Pocho Villa Libera
tion Army.” Actors Del Zamora and Lalo Medina,
also part of POCHO Productions star in the films.
POCHO Productions have turned the word
“pocho” into “a term of empowerment, using it as a
rallying cry from which to mount something of a
minor revolution,” according to Lopez.
He adds, “We’re not drop-dead serious. We may
be skilled at making up rhetoric, but we’d like to
think that we can entertain and politicize at the same
time.”
Lopez and Zul created an art exhibit in 1994
called “Chorizo of the Gods” which traveled from
San Diego, to Texas and Chicago. Recently, POCHO
Productions has taken aim at the art center/college
circuit, having played in Los Angeles, Riverside, San
Diego, Tijuana, Austin, San Antonio, Arizona, Wis
consin, Michigan and Chicago’s Mexican Fine Arts
Center.
For more information on the Nov. 7 presenta
tion, call Bonnie Biggs, director of Arts and Lec
tures, at 750-4366.

I think there is something almost morbid
about the presidential debates.
Those who watch them, myself included, ea
gerly wait for the participants to slip up, to blow
it, to lose everything they have spent almost a life
time working for.
The debates are not like taping a half hour
comedy show, where a director can yell "cut" and
the actors do it again until they get it right Yes,
the participants have rehearsed and practiced their
lines, but that’s what makes a mistake much worse.
The debates, whether you like politics or not,
were the best drama on television. They were like
a cross between "The Young and the Restless" and
a boxing match. Two powerful men battle it out
to see who will run the country.
The audience gives points for good responses
and jabs thrown at the opponent, and deducts
points for bad answers. However, hitting below
the belt is allowed, even encouraged.
I don’t think the debates sway the voters that
much. Most people already have their minds made

Watching the debates has not changed my
opinion of either candidate. While Bob Dole
came across better than I expected him to, I be
lieve he is out of touch with the average Ameri
can.
For example, he said “The Democrats want
to take over your health care.” What he doesn’t
understand is that I don’t have any health care
for the Democrats to take o ver. I need some medi
cal care. If the democrats are at least willing to
try to help people get medical care, I’m willing
to listen.
I don’t believe Dole's economic plan is go
ing to do anything for me. I make so little that a
15 percent tax cut would buy me a Big-Mac. Big
deal.
At times during the debate Dole reminded
me of the Grinch who stole Christmas. He some
times came across as mean and spiteful.
For him to accuse President Clinton of us
ing the Middle East peace process as a photo
opportunity was shameful. Is the fact that over
70 people were killed in less than a week noth
ing more than a “photo opportunity” to him?
The pollsters say Dole is desperate. They are
probably correct. From where I sit, it doesn’t look
tJblefhas to
resort to referring to the president of the United
States as Bozo, it’s probably all over.

Presidential race: incompetent
figureheads or babe-magnet
K en V a n H orn
I tuned into the presidential debates hoping
to see Bob Dole give President Clinton a sound
political thrashing. By the end of that first de
bate, I was convinced that Dole had not let me
down.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who made a point
of watching the debates for the pure entertainment
value. Let's be honest. Neither of the candidates
are worthy of my vote. Dole comes across as out
of touch and his anti-education comments really
turn me off. He has tried to interest the American
voters with his stories of wartime valor and mor
als that seemed to loose popularity at about the
same time as Ozzie and Harriet. Clinton, on the
other hand, is a career politician that has left a
trail of corruption and jaded deals from
Whitewater to the White House.
Dole has been blasted for surfing the issues
and riding on public opinion. Is it actually that
bad of trait to adjust to popular opinion?
I mean, it worked for Clinton in '92. The
only difference I see is that Dole may follow
through if elected. So his ideals are archaic and
he needs some help with what appeals to the '90's
voter. What’s so wrong with making a conscious
effort to revive some '40’s morals?
Clinton weaseled in the debates. He skirted
issues and used his art of political rhetoric to lie
and out-right avoid questions. I'm not sure where
Clinton believes the bulk of the American popu
lation has been for the past four years but he defi
nitely doesn't think we've been paying attentio
to him. I mean how well can you trust a politi
cian who say's the evening before a debate ths
he hasn't been following his adversary?
His whole denial was some childish way c
avoiding pre-debate allegations. I'm really sui
prised he didn't plug his ears in the middle of th
debates and hum "I can't hear you. I'm not listen
ing. Naaa naaa naaa!"
Maybe we've put too much faith in thi
whole presidential issue. Does the president hav
to be such a great figure like those of the past?
All we actually need is someone who is half
way coherent and can travel well. If he can sigi
a couple of documents and do lunch with som<
foreign leaders without causing an intemationa
incident, I say we're home free. Look at forme
president Bush. He barfed on people and stil
managed to retain our status as the foremost su
perpower.
The debates didn't help to clarify who I wil
choose for president.
Its still a loss no matter who I vote for.
mean on one hand I vote for either Clinton o
Dole and end up with, at best, an incompeten
space filler in the oval office. Or I do what I knov
is right and write my name in on the ballot. Sure
it's as good as a wasted vote. But at least I wil
have voted honestly. The last choice I have is t(
write in Gary Hart. He hasn’t had a chance o
winning since the early ’90's but any guy in hi:
late 40’s who can land a 17 year old babe like h(
did must have some kind of great negotiating
skills.

Dear Editor,
Reply: To Disenchanted Student States
Case
Dear single white male,
Your remarks in last weeks Pride’s
Letters To The Editor was very offensive.
I’m sick of this angry white male attitude
that you and many other white males have.
You attempt to label the University as a
“liberal” facility used to brain wash people
into “Political Correctness.” All you sound
like is one of those conservatives preach
ing the same political B.S., that everything
you don’t agree with is “liberal”, for ex
ample the press, I don’t know if you’ve seen
the Union Tribune lately. Why don’t you
jump off the conservative band wagon.
You conservatives all think your some
sort of victim. You want all of us to stop all
the progress that we have made through
out these years fighting racism. I don’t
think you remember all the racist crap that’s
happened in our nations history, four hun
dred years of slave ownership, police bru
tality, race segregation, red scare,
homophobia,; and political oppression. You
claim your not a racist, yet you know what,
not only are you a racist, but your also a
bigot. When you claim that “I am angry
that there are 250,000 illegal immigrants
coming into my country per year...”, but
what you really mean is your sick of all
those MEXICANS coming into “your”
country. If your completely against that
political correctness then why did you abide
to it in your statement about “illegal immi
grants”, you bigot.
Let me remind you that the land you
live on was not yours or your families to
claim. This land you now live on was in
habited real Americans, that is Native
Americans and Mexican’s. If anyone is an
illegal immigrant its YOU! Remember at
one time, you or someone in your family
was an immigrant.
Yeah, protecting are borders is impor
tant, but do not, as many conservative’s
have, scapegoat You say that you feel
“guilty” when you express your point of
view, and you detest being called a “rac
ist” when you do express it. Well, maybe
you feel guilty because you are a racist and
you really need to reflect why you feel
guilty when people call you a racist.
You say “The root of the problem is
Check out T he P ride s re-designed

that in America today we have so many
“rights” that we as a people don’t even
know what is right anymore.” This abuse
of “rights” you claim is completely false.
Do you actually believe that people are
not being discriminated against? As long
as people are discriminated against we’ll
have to create policy to protect them. Look
at how gays and lesbians are discriminated
against because of their alternative
lifestyles. The Constitution claims that “we
are all equal”, but the statement alone
doesn’t prevent conservatives from creat
ing policy that denounces and humiliates
gays, Don’t ask...Don’t tell, along with our
president. Your view on diversity sounds
ignorant and apathetic, I don’t know about
it and I don’t care.
Not only are you ignorant about racial
diversity, but also religious diversity. Not
everyone believes in “God” and are nation's
religion isn’t officially Christianity. All of
those examples you used such as: “Con
gress opens up each session with prayer,
the supreme court has the ten command
ment on its walls...” are examples of the
intolerance that you and the conservative
nation's leaders uphold. This intolerance
not only makes people who believe in other
or no religions feel isolated from the coun
try, a form of religious segregation, and
allowing this intolerance in our countries
public schools will only promote intoler
ance of other religions.
The crusades are over, so jump off
your high horse, we have enough preach
ers.

Dear Editor,
In the article “Group alleges deeply

issue of The Pride, page editor Ken Van
Horn kindly noted that the Black Faculty
Organized (BFO) claims that, “Institutional
racism contributes to the creation of a hos
tile working environment in which people
of color, women, Jews, gays and lesbians
are harassed simply because they are dif
ferent.”
I’d like to tell the BFO to not forget
the animals. Animals are different—a dif
ferent species. Animals are sliced and
probed alive in CSUSM’s laboratories. The
cut up flesh of murdered animals is sold in
CSUSM’s Dome. Does not institutional
speciesism contribute to the “creation of a
hostile working environment” where ani
mals are murdered because they are differ

Depression permeates second
Crows album much like first
By Gabe Lundeen
Pride Staff Writer
The Counting Crows need to lighten
up. The same depressive quality that per
meated their first album, “August and Ev
erything After,” shows up again on their
new release, “Recovering the Satellites.”
It’s not that depression is a bad topic
to sing about, but it becomes an empty
clich, with such manufactured unhappiness.
Crows lead singer Adam Duritz moans
lines like, “Spend my nights on self-de
fense/ Cry about my innocence,” with
alarming regularity. In song after song, it’s
hard to take it very seriously. It seems that
Duritz’s only goal is to tell us how abso
lutely dreadful his life is, whining all the
way.
But if you ignore the incredibly trite
lyrics, it isn’t a terrible album. It’s more of
a guilty pleasure than anything else. You
listen to it, and you realize itfs lousy, but
it’s so lousy you can’t stop listening. You’re
ashamed to tell your friends you like it, but
you do, and you don’t know why.
The Crows employ the same loose
acoustic sound as on their first album, with
moments of distortion and harder rock. Its
inviting, easy-to-listen-to music lends it
self to songs like the more upbeat “Mr.
Jones,” from “August.” There is nothing
comparable on “Recovering.”
Since their rise to fame began, the band
has been accused of being nothing more
than rip-off artists by rock critics, who say
they borrow from music notables like Van
Morrison, Bob Dylan and The Band.
But this is unfair and insulting, not to
the Crows, who obviously are emulating
their music idols, but to the artists they
mimic. The Crows put on a pale imitation
of them, Morrison especially. It is evident
“Recovering” is an attempt to reproduce
“Astral Weeks,” which is Morrisoms mas
terpiece and one of the greatest albums of
all time. It comes nowhere close.
You can’t fault them for picking qual
ity influences; they could not have chosen
more carefully. But the Crows use their
influences too liberally in their music, and
have yet to really find a voice of their own.
Until this happens, the band, which
does have talent, will dwell in the realm of
mediocrity and imitation. Duritz possesses
an aesthetically pleasing voice, and the
guitar work of David Bryson and Dan
Vickrey is all that saves much of the al
bum.
The album should do well with the 5
million people who bought the groupis first

Ocean Blue is true combination of quality and trash
By Gabe Lundeen
Pride Staff Writer
The music world continues to stagnate with cookiecutter bands intent on getting rich and selling millions of
albums, rather than producing quality music. It is enlight
ening to find a pearl in the sea of stagnance.
It’s hard to say whether The Ocean Blue is a pearl or
a pestilence. The group’s new album, “See The Ocean
Blue,” is a mixture of quality and trash. It has its high
lights, but is dragged down by some truly terrible songs.
The Ocean Blue is an established rock band, with a
loyal fan following and three albums under its belt. Its
sound utilizes smooth acoustic tabulatures and grinding
electric guitars, alternating these almost every other song.
That may be its biggest problem. The acoustic and
electric sounds change the entire sound of the music, so
it’s like listening to two different bands. Lead singer David
Schelzel’s voice is schizophrenic, as are those of the rest
of the band. The sound varies so much from track to track
that no real style is established.
Photo by Ray Lego/Mercury Records
Pearl or Pestilence? Ocean Blue's third release is up and down.
So, in essence, what we have here are two sides of
the same coin. The acoustic stuff is not bad; the songs
seem more lyrically thought out on these tracks.
Schelzel s voice is soothing and dream-like, and the rest
of the band is more focused.
However, it is on the harder tracks where the band
fails. It is simply not adept at producing the louder heavy
metal-style music, and which comes off as forced.
Like so many groups today; The Ocean Blue seems
capable of more, but produces less. Almost half of “See
The Ocean Blue” is a flop, and what little is better is not
enough to make up for it.

The candidates, Patrice Lee, Lee Thibadeau, Vince

five minutes to make their opening statements before taking
questions from audience members. Several of the questions

All candidates said that they felt that the university was

the need for a partnership between CSUSM, the city, and

When asked whether or not they supported affirmative

Six different leaflets containing racist statements were placed on roughly 300 cars Feb. 6 by
a 15-year old male from La Mesa. The youth claimed to be a member of the White Aryan
Resistance, a white supremicist group started by Fallbrook racist Tom Metzger.

Cal State San M arcos c ontinues t o be
plagued by racial incidents.
In the latest, a 15-year-old L a Mesa youth
w as c aught distributing racist f liers in the
main students parking lot on Feb. 6.
T he youth, w ho was later released to his
mother and grandfather, told c ampus police
h e was a m ember of the W hite Aryan Resistance, the hate group founded by Fallbrook
r acist T om M etzger. M etzger d enied any
knowledge of the leaflets, but applauded their
distribution.
Last year, after university President Bill
Stacy refused to allow him to address students
on campus during a racial unity day, Metzger
remarked that the university would have been
f ar better off to have allowed him to speak.
T he racial unity day had been scheduled
a fter a woman professor had been confronted
in her classroom by a student who repeatedly
called her a "black bitch" Though the professor herself had introduced that term and tried
t o turn the c onfrontation i nto a a teaching
experience,£ she later reported to authorities
that she feared f or her safety.
T he student eventually l eft the university, w hile the p rofessor s ought, and w as
granted, leave from her classroom duties this
semester t o pursue research.
T he Feb. 6 leaflets O which were l eft on
about 3 00 cars b efore campus security o fficers
intervened O made direct reference to last y ear's
c onfrontation. All of the l eaflets carried t he
message, "The Black Bitch I s Gone," on o ne
side, and d ifferent hate messages on the other.
It appeared to be n o coincidence that the
leaflets were distributed on the first of t wo days
t hat a p air of c onsultants f rom t he C SU
C hancellor's o ffice were on campus, a t S tacy'srequest, to sample racial attitudes in the wake
of last y ear's confrontation, and another incident in which a hate message specifically targeting a nother b lack w oman p rofessor w as
scrawled on a m en's room mirror.
The two CSU consultants, J une Cooper and
Maria Santos, spent the t wo days talking with
students, faculty and staff.
Cooper r efused t o discuss the leaflets other
than t o say, "It had an intentionally chilling e ffect In particular in an educational environment*
It's inappropriate. I refuse to involve myself with
that garbage."
Santos said the leaflets m ight impact the
investigation in the "context they were i n."
Campus Police Chief Arnold Trujillo said
security o fficers also questioned t wo m en in
The extent of racism at Cal State San
Marcos depends on w ho y ou're talking to.
To Professor Sharon Elise, a member of
the Black Faculty Organized (BFO) group and
the target of a racial threat scrawled on a bathroom wall last semester, racism at the university is institutionalized. The administration is
trying to play down the racial incidents, she
adds, and, by doing so, actually is sending the
message that such behavior is tolerable.
In the wake of the hate message last semester, Elise has asked for, and been granted,
leave f rom classroom duties this semester in
order to conduct research.
Kimberiy Kagy, chair of the Associated
Students Diversity Committee, believes the
administration has been reactive on racial issues, rather than pro-active. She questioned
why the diversity committee was not set up
before last semester, and added that blacks on
campus d on't see themselves represented in
university policy-setting.
President Bill Stacy, on the other hand,
points to the fact that the university 's faculty

is f ar more diverse than those at other California colleges. BFO is helpful, he said, but
some of the group's contentions are false.
Stacy also said he hopes the actions of
the B FO w on't alienate prospective minority
students and faculty.
A ccording t o A S P resident K ristina
Gundersen, white students and faculty who
don't see the grievances of the B FO and others being justified feel that they are being
persecuted.They don't see the racial problems
as signifigantly as does the BFO, she said.
One white woman student said she was
totally surprised by last semester's racial incidents. "I didn't see it, so it was hard to believe," she added. "At the time I felt it was
blown out of proportion." The fact that black
students seem t o know all about the racial incidents while white students didn't bothered
her, she said. "It made me feel guilty f or not
knowing the situation," she added.
Another white student, Anthony Howard,
said he doesn't understand what the black faculty expects the administration to do. CSUSM
is "ripe" f or such hate groups as the White
Aryan Resistance simply because the university emphasizes diverse themes, he added.
"This college puts diversity over education," h e said, adding that he resented the fact
that "diversity was forced" upon him through
global awareness requirements.

Building 15 grounds broken
'International Building' set to open in Fall '98
By Larry Uleman
Pride Staff Writer
Building 15's Jan. 31 groundbreaking ceremony
concluded with a bang — to remove granite.
The controlled blast shook an evacuated Academic Hall and Founder's Plaza around 4 p m, as students and faculty stayed clear to avoid flying debris.
There have been three additional blasts since,
each as more granite threatened to stall construction.
Building 15, called the International Building,
is scheduled to be completed by fall of 1998. It will
house computer labs f or foriegn languages, literature and writing, psychology, social sciences, and
business administration. It will also contain four high
end multimedia stations and 120 lab stations. The
building's nine classrooms will have network connection and will be able to receive video broadcasts. Three-hundred stations will be capable of
broadcasting as well as receiving.
The building, which will lie behind Academic
Hall, is designed with f our stories in its front portion and three in its elevated rear, which will lie up
a graded hill f rom the frontal section.
Funding was secured f or the building through
Proposition 203 — passed last spring by voters.
The proposition provided $ 14.5 million in construction funds, as well as $ 1.5 million to equip the building.
Building site excavation is scheduled to be
completed shortly, and may require more blasting
if more immovable rock is encountered. The buildings foundation will follow.
CSU One Card raises concerns
with system's student association
By Tina Leary
Pride Staff Writer
One all-purpose I D card that can be used on
and off campus may be coming to Cal State San
Marcos soon.
It's called the "One Card," and it has become a
hot topic of debate among students and faculty.
If approved at CSUSM, it could be used as a
student I D card, debit card, calling card and security access card on campus. Off campus, it could be
used as a credit card with participating companies,
and even in some vending machines.
It also could provide complete access to grades,
current GPA and other private and personal student
affairs.
Many college campuses already have implemented such a student I D card f or use in libraries
and media centers, in printers and photocopiers and
at student activities.
The cards have a magnetic stripe, similar to
those found on the back of CSUSM's current student I D card and the California driver's license.
Simply by running the card through a slot, a
police o fficer could obtain necessary information
about the student's driving or criminal history.
Similarly, with one swipe of the one card student ID card, the library and media center know when
you owe.
Some have expressed discomfort with having
so much information available on one plastic card.
Others find it a wonderful way to save space in
your wallet and valuable time.
The California State Student Association passed
a resolution on the C SU One Card, addressing concerns such as impact on local business and economy.
The card may not be accepted as a form of payment
at an independently owned supermarket or restau-
Trom p. 1

f
tor. Materials and equipment will most likely be donated.

Another concern voiced by the C SSA states
"current Federal and State laws are inadequate to
ensure the security and privacy of students' confidential information and therefore puts at risk the
p rivacy and p ersonal a utonomy of i ndividuals
within our CSU community."
Although laws and policies protect a student's
privacy, concern focus on whether privacy can be
maintained with so m uch information accessible

Mother-like
suggestions
on career
success
By Val Knox
Pride Staff Writer
O.k., y o' m ama I 'm not, but I probably could be.
A fter all, most mothers want nothing
less than health and happiness for their o ffspring. That and a well-paying j ob that will
lead you into your own apartment with your
own food and your own washing machine.
Now that I am fast approaching the
half century mark, I feel that I can o ffer
some sage advice to h elp you achieve the
goals I 've listed above. Mind you, these
are only suggestions I 'm sharing with you
because, like any mother, I want you to
succeed.
Now, have you decided on a career?
Let m e point out that careers tend to change
about seven times throughout a normal
person's life. Yes, in a normal person's life.
That means that one day, you too, may
be returning to college when you are older
and grayer, so in the meantime, please be .
nice fQ the blder student sitting next to you.
That brings u p the point: that the world is
really smaller than you think. College is a
great time to network, you know, get to
know as many people as you can. Participate in college and community activities.
One day it may help you land that perfect
j ob!
In deciding on a career, I strongly suggest that you consider volunteering; yes,
work f or free. G o ahead and ask, "Well,
what's in it f or m e?" L et's think about this.
Volunteering your time and skills in a
prospective career will gain you insight
about j ob expectations and what steps you
can take now to prepare f or career advancement. Learn about the company by talking
with employees. Ask questions about advancement opportunities and retirement
plans, because even you will one day look
forward to retirement.
Observe positions that men hold and
those held by women. Does this tell you
anything? D oes management solicit employee input or are programs authoritarian?
D oes the organization provide f or continuing education and training? How about layoffs? How often are salaries reviewed?
In addition, y ou'll b e building your
resume and earning some valuable experience. So, learn all you can about the place
you wish t o grace with your presence, but
b e selective.
Cal State San Marcos promotes service learning; that is, some type of community service is required to graduate. Service learning is an excellent way to learn
m ore about a career and an organization.
An added bonus is that y ou'll be getting in
touch with the community. Get involved
and work to m ake your community a better place.
Many organizations are encouraging
their employees to participate in volunteer
work. Volunteering - the cool thing to do.
Internet shareware site
finds 'Cool Tools' fastest
By David J ohnson
Pride S taff Writer
All too often, computer users purchase software that fails to live up to expectations.
Either it is the wrong tool for the
j ob or the program is so complicated and
overbearing that its main function is to
sit on your hard-drive and take up space.
In fact, the phrase "caveat emptor,"
or "let the buyer beware," should be embossed onto the spine of all those invitingly c olorful, yet s omehow benign
boxes wherein lie the C D and the 400page manual with annotations.
F ortunately, t here is a s olution.
Thanks to this trivial little fad called the
Internet, it is now possible to access vast
databases of loaner and even free software called "shareware" and "freeware,"
and download pretty much whatever it
is y ou're in the market for.
W hether y ou're an aspiring programmer looking f or a good HTML,
V RML, A ctiveX o r JAVA editor, or
y ou're j ust looking f or a cool game to
take your mind off frivolous activities
like homework, these databases o ffer a
b oundless s ea of p rograms t o w ade
through.
A nd, o nce y ou've caught something that looks useful and/or interesting you j ust reel it in and give it a try—
before you shell out the hundred bucks.
A s t hese d atabases grow larger,
finding what you need is becoming egregiously difficult. Even if you happen to
stumble across something that looks like
it might do the trick, there are ten other
programs that also can lay claim to that.
Yet theirproduct does it better, faster, and
with infinitely more style.
And, since the problem with time
is that there is never enough of it, imprisoning yourself in your house while
the file or files download, cut off from
the rest of the world because your phone
line is tied up, almost makes the wasted
C-note look like a worthwhile loss.
B ut, t here i s a s olution. W hile
s hareware.com, d ownload.com, c /
net.com or Zdnet.com all o ffer huge
c ollectionions o f s hareware a nd
freeware, there is only one place that
does it better, faster, and with infinitly
more style: www.slaughterhouse.com.
The cool thing about this site is that
not only does it make looking f or s oftware at other sites feel like y ou're trying to d o a Dewey Decimal search f or
a pamphlet on the South American Piss
ant in the Library of Congress, but it
rates each file with skulls, f ive being
best, on performance, functionality, and
all-around usefulness—greatly truncating the amount of time spent chasing
your cyber-tail so you can get the program up and running quickly.
The majority of your time is spent
evaluating the software, not the dust on
y our m onitor a nd t he B ACK a nd
FOREWARD buttons on your browser.,,
Slaughterhouse.com also o ffers a
daily pick called "THE C OOL TOOL
O F T HE DAY." The author gives a detailed description of what he feels to b e
an invaluable, or at least really cool
piece of software. These picks are then
archived by month so that anyone w ho
m issed a C OOL T OOL c an r evisit
them.
All told, this site o ffers numerous
other niceties, but the bottom line is if
you want to maintain your sanity as well
as an operational phone line, try the
Slaughterhouse. You'll be glad you did.

Developing eating disorders is as easy as dieting
E very S pring semester, w e are r eminded that Spring Break and then Summer are around the corner. To many people,
this immediately leads to thoughts about
how w e'd better get in shape f or the beach.
The CAPS staff is aware that these are dangerous days, and potentially self-destructive, so we o ffer the following as advice
on how to develop an eating disorder, hoping that the opposite of this advice will be
followed.
The first and most important thing you
can d o if an eating disorder is your goal is
to go on a diet. We are not talking here
about simply being careful about what you
eat. By "diet" we mean a set of highly restrictive rules or constraints on what you
eat. T he more restrictive the better.
Some of you might choose rules that
have to d o with skipping meals: not eating

I mportant developments in
campus racist incident saga
TONY BARTON
It appears that our campus racists took no
more than a six-week winter vacation like the rest
of us.
T hey've been on a busy schedule since returning — defacing a mural and hitting 300 cars
with racist fliers, each detailing a separate ethnic
group. One was even tailored for so-called "Race
Traitors." You know, those of us "whites" who
associate with minorities.
A public hanging was promised for all such
"traitors." Blacks, according to the flier, simply
be will shot to death for dealing with whites.
A swastika and racist epithet were painted on
the hallway mural across the courtyard f rom the
library — specifically, on the face of a crying
black girl — by some attention-depraved idiot.
The defacement since has been painted over.
On Feb. 6 and 7, an audit of the c ampus's
racial climate, specifically the administration's
ability to deal with the racial unrest, was conducted
at the request of President Bill Stacy. June C oo
per, former vice chancellor of human resources
and operations f or the CSU system and Maria
Santos, a CSU human resources advisor, served
as the auditors.
The racist fliers, of course, were distributed
on the first of their two days on campus. Call it
convenient. The timing must have been planned,
of course, to further damage the university's reputation.
But did it? Or did it provide the administra:
tion with the perfect opportunity to show its intolerance f or racists.
Santos indicated the flier incident would affect the audit "in the context." Certainly the administration c an't be held responsible for racists
showing up in a campus parking lot. But it can
be for how it deals with such an event.
Let's take a look at the university's response.
Campus police responded immediately when
tipped to the distribution. O fficers captured one
of the distributors red-handed, and identified two
others, one a C SUSM student, as likely accomplices. The District Attorney ' s o ffice was called
immediately and press releases promptly sent out
across campus.
A f und that will donate to anti-racist and
educational organizations each time a racial incident occurs on campus was very conveniently
already in the works. It was announced the following day and appeared to most to be a direct
response to the fliers.
Perhaps it was impossible to sweep this one
under the rug, but the administration d idn't even
attempt to d o so. The circumstances were acknowledged, and dealt with. N o one has questioned either the speed or the sincerity of the
university's response.
By doing so, the university has bolstered its
image as being intolerant of race-hate crimes —
an image that was tarnished by critics last Semester.
The flier incident truly was important for that
very reason and for one other: It gave a face to
the anonymous racists — that of a 15-year-old,
White Aryan Resistance member f rom La Mesa.

could use for local calls only. In particular, they would
be handy when trying to contact one of the departments here on campus. The phones could be designed
for calls that have no extra chaige and therefore would
be of minimal cost to the campus. There can be a

would be on their honor not to abuse the phones.

T he 1970's are back. Bright colors are back in fashion, feel-good music is p opular a gain, and t here is a

Rebellion is still fighting against the
oppressive Galactic Empire, The Force

or even if you saw it back in 1977. I t's
a m ovie that has a quality f ew movies

its audience into the on-screen action
and m akes the audience feel like a part

element is even stronger, and George

of the greatest movie theater adrenaline rushes ever.
T he new f ootage is a wonderful
addition to the Him. Scenes that were
intended to be in the original version
but were impossible due to budget and

up and lengthened.
"Star Wars" still stands as not only
the highest grossing m ovie of all time (it
should eclipse "E.T.'s" current record any
day now), b ut also as o ne of t he most influential. It changed m ovies i nto m ajor
events, extravaganzas of m edia attention

T he "Star W ars" Trilogy is an
u ncomparable thrillride that no o ne
should miss. T here's simply nothing
like it. The "Special Edition" enhancements are a f resh addition to an old

a new generation of viewers, as well

it..

Shakespeare's plays have been continually
produced for more than 4 00 years.
S pending 2 50 m inutes w atching
"Hamlet" is not an ordeal; it's an Experience! Kenneth Branagh truly has succeeded
in bringing live theatre to the screen in an
unforgettable way.
Because "Hamlet" is a play that is open
to many interpretations, directors the world
over have spent a lot of time striving to
capture the true essence of the play. But
Branagh has achieved a rare triumph, producing nuances in the characters rarely seen
in other productions.
Branagh himself plays the brooding
prince of Denmark. Though, at 33, he may
seem a little old f or the part in the eyes of
some critics, Hamlet begs f or a certain maturity often lacking in younger actors.
The cast is. numerous and multi-national. Charlton Heston gives a solid performance as the Player King. Fans of Robsfri
Williams may be disappointed at the small
part of Osric, but Williams' performance
raises a giggle from the audience nevertheless.
B illy C rystal p ortrays o ne of t he
gravediggers and seems comfortable with
the language. Not so, Jack Lemmon, who
plays Marcellus, one of the witnesses to the
ghost of the dead King Hamlet. He does
not have many lines but he seems to forget
the first rule of reciting Shakespeare: You
may not understand the words but you have
to say them as though you d o understand!
Derek Jacobi brings a softer side to
Claudius, giving the audience some idea
a s t o w hy G ertrude ( played b y J tilie
C hristie) w ould m arry h im. C hristie's
make-up and sometimes drab costumes d o
little to flatter her, perhaps to show she is
trying too hard to look attractive. Hamlet
accuses her of "whorish behaviour."
The production design and costumes
are early Victorian with Blenheim Palace
lending a magnificent backdrop.
So, if y ou are a lover of good theatre,
this production is a must-see. It does not
do it credit to call it merely a "movie."
You cannot know bad theatre until you
have experienced really good theatre, and
this is really good theatre!
The Rock is predictable and improbable, standard action
By Jenal Larson
Pride Staff Writer
Want an action movie sans the requisite car crashes and corpses? "The Rock"
may leave you stone-cold.
Directed by Michael Bay, the newlyreleased video stars Sean Connery, Nicolas
Cage, and Ed Harris.
Although certainly activity-laden, "The
Rock's" plot is both improbable and pre-
dictable. U.S. General Frank Hummel (Harris) is especially u nbelievable. H e is a
highly-decorated V ietnam Veteran w ho
wants restitution f or
families of Marines
killed during illegal,
i nternational, a nd
U.S.-ordered activities.
However, a respected, legendary war
hero with access to the media would hardly
hold 81 hostages on Alcatraz Island and
threaten to launch rockets filled with "human-meltdown" gas in order to achieve political aims.
E very a ction
movie needs an action
figure, of course, and
" The R ock" b oasts
Sean Connery, who plays Alcatraz escapee
J ohn M ason. M ason l eads F BI a gents
through the dank recesses of the islandprison.
Cage f ans will likely appreciate Dr.
Stanely Goodspeed, FBI chemical weapons
specialist assigned to diffuse the rockets.
Although the formulaic plot of "The Rock"
prevents any real sense of danger, Cage
seems fully aware of this fact. His quirky,
comedic performance is parodic and f un—
the highlight of the movie.
"The Rock" stands as a f un escape into
the standardized, semi-predictable action
movie world.
�Four Rooms:
absurd, bad
and funny
By Jenal Larson

Keep your p ants on and collect your
tip. T hat's the advice given Tim Roth, the
bellhop in "Four R ooms."
No gruntin', holierin' at Hoops
By Sarah Harris
Pride Staff Writer
H e immediately proceeds to fail on the
first count, but d oes succeed on the second. And the situations Roth gets into earning that tip provide viewers with an absurdly funny array of events. H e plays his
role w ith z any g usto w hile h e s ways,
swiggles and swishes f rom room to room.
The film is divided into separate episodes, each directed individually, on N ew
Year's Eve. Allison Anders directs the first,
"Honeymoon Suite;" Alexandre Rockwell,
"Room 404;" R obert R odriguez, "Room
309;" and Quentin Tarantino, "The Penthouse."
Each is m ore bizarre and absurd than
the preceding episode. T he all-star cast, including M adonna, A ntonio B anderas,
Marisa Tome^and J ennifer Beales, appear
to be having a great deal of f un producing
outrageous and total chaos.
In "Room 309," Banderas, needing a
baby-sitter f or the evening, hires the Bellhop for $500 to check on his son and daughter every 30 minutes. T he children turn out
to be very imaginative in their misbehavior, which is fueled by the d aughter's morbid tenacity to drive the bellhop crazy.
But their agenda b ackfires when they
find a woman's corpse under their bed. One
bizarre event leads to another with a visually shocking scene at the end that d efinitely helped "Four R ooms" earn its R rating.
The film works well, perhaps because
its stars play roles we are not accustomed
to seeing them in, i.e. M adonna d oes not
play the Virgin or sing about the Virgin and

Lavoritories are best at Planet Hollywood
By Gabe Lundeen
Entertainment Editor
W hat d o you get when you cross
Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bruce Willis,
Sylvester Stallone and f ood?
N o, not an e nclave of f rightened
cooks, but Planet Hollywood, the restaurant they hold stock in.
For those of you w ho d on't know,
Planet Hollywood is a restaurant franchise that has the distinction of being "the
only dining experience inspired by the
worlds of film and television." And it
combines entertainment and eating with
mixed results.
W alk i nto P lanet H ollywood at
Horton Plaza in San Diego and be prepared f or an assault on the senses. In
glass cases all around the restaurant are
various pieces of memorabilia, donated
by an array of movie and television stars
to be put on display. Some, like a piece
of the Death Star f rom "Star Wars" or
D on J ohnson's s hoes and p ants f rom
"Miami Vice," are sort of neat, but f or
the most part the items make you want
to yawn with excitement. A fter all, what
could be more exciting than eating next
to Macaulay Culkin's various blunt objects (a paint can, a wrench and bricks)
f rom " Home Alone?" And haven't we all
dreamed of seeing Sharon Stone's high
school yearbook? It's easy to tell why some
of this stuff was donated.
Inside the restaurant are multiple bigscreen televisions, showing plugs for Planet
Hollywood merchandise and a medley of
annoying celebrity shots and movie previews. Blaring at a decibel range not unlike that of a 747 j et at takeoff, it's a little
loud, to say the least. Only in America
would we invent restaurants with TVs, so
even when we go out to eat we can remain
glued to the boob tube. T he material shown
is self-serving, shameless, and not conducive to proper digestion.
The food, however, is quite tasty. The
menu boasts a selection of salads, sandwiches, burgers, pastas, f ajitas and grilled
platters, along with appetizers and desserts.
The Chicken Crunch is the appetizer
highlight. Believe it or not, i t's chicken
strips breaded in C ap'n Crunch cereal and
other seasonings, and it's different enough
to be distinctive jjet not sickening or overdone.
T he m ain m enu h as s ome u nique
items, along with restaurant mainstays like
hamburgers and pastas. Unconventional
p izzas such a s t he C reole P izza, with
shrimp and chicken, are the most original
items on the menu. But for the less adventurous, everything else should suffice. The
grilled sirloin is enough meat to feed any
hungry action hero, and the St. Louis Ribs
are also plentiful.
T he desserts are very good. From
ice cream to sorbet to various specialty
pies, there is something f or everyone
here, too. E ver wonder what Arnold
S chwartzenegger's m other m ade f or
dessert? Well, be curious n o longer, as
>his m other's apple strudel is featured.
And f or the afficionados of bad puns,
there's the Ebony and Ivory Brownie,
working together in a perfect harmony
that would make Paul McCartney and
Stevie Wonder proud.
Above all else, Planet Hollywood
has to o ffer is the bathroom. The lavatories are lush and beautiful, and f ull of
frills. A towel boy (in this case, a polite
y oung man named J unior) turns the
water for the sink on to a perfect lukewarm temperature, puts soap on your
hands f or you and hands you a paper
towel afterwards. He then offers you use
of various colognes and perfumes, gum,
mints, and toothpicks. He even offers
you an after-dinner cigarette! Any bathroom that will also give you lung-polluting carcinogens after your meal has
got to be high class. One could seriously

connection with the leaflets, one of them a
22-year-old student at the university. But,
because neither was seen actually distributing the fliers, both were released after a
phone consultation with the San Diego District Attorney's office.
University officials since have asked
that anyone who might have witnessed the
distribution step forward. If the university
can verify that others were involved, it would
be possible to bring them in for questioning.
But Stacy has conceded there is little
the university can do, even if it has evidence
that a student helped distribute the fliers.
Basically, he added, the student could only
be given a verbal warning for littering and
put on informal probation.
"We would be able to tell him his behavior is not conducive to a learning community, that's the first thing," Stacy said.
"The second is, 'You're a litterbug in the
parking lot.'"
Most students were dismayed by the
leaflets. Kimberly Kagy, chair of the AS diversity committee, called the incident "disgusting", but added that those responsible
were not indicitive of the general populus of

CSUSM.
Ironically, even before the leaflets were
distributed, a group of CSUSM employees
had set up a fund to counter racial incidents
on campus by making donations to anti-hate
groups and educational organizations every
time such a problem occurred.
The first donation — triggered by a
swastika and racial epithet being scrawled
across a mural in the hallway in front of the
library two weeks previously — was to the
Southern California Law Center, of Birmingham, Ala., the organization that in 1990 secured a $12.5 million civil judgment against
Metzger and the White Aryan Resistance
group after the beating death of an Ethiopian student in Portland, Ore.
The A S' Kagy called the fund a "great
idea" and "a step in the right direction."
Kagy's diversity committee, composed
of students, was set u p last semester at
CSUSM through AS to help deal with problems of race, gender, age and sexual diversity. So far, it has met with some of the deans,
published a news letter ("Pen/Sword") and
attempted to inform students of the need for
diversity on campus. "We have gotten our
voice heard," said Kagy.
Kagy also said a plan was in the works
to s etup acommunity hotline where students
and faculty could call to report racist activities or simply be given a sympathetic ear.

C.S. planners count on Proposition 'A'
•
With $72 million at s take, Proposition "A' would be a boon
for the future development of Cal. State San Marcos
BY
R ICHARD
M AUSER
P RIDE S TAFF W RITER
A good chunk of the future of
CSUSM will rest in the hands
of California voters next week,
The fate of Proposition lA, a
$9.2 billion public education
bond on the Nov. 3 statewide
ballot, will have a lot of impact
on the CSUSM campus. The
measure, which would provide
funding for elementary schools
through state universities, contains $72.3 million for CSUSM
over the next four years.
If passed, it would fund the
c onstruction of t hree new
buildings and the beginning of
a new library and information
c enter, nearly doubling the
campus' square footage.
"This will be a major kick,"
said Carol Bonomo, CSUSM
director of Legislative and Civic
Affairs. "It will really get the
campus going."
According to CSUSM officials,^ $30 million would be allocated for the construction of
a science hall that would house
labs, classrooms and faculty
offices, and also cover the first
phase of a multi-building arts
and humanities complex that
would include classrooms, music labs, a dance facility and a
200-seat lecture/rehearsal hall.
The proposition also would
designate $25.3 million to begin the process of building the
$1.2 million donated
to CSUSM for
athletic complex
A $1.2 million gift from longtime O ceanside r esident
Helene Clarke will enable CA
S tate San M arcos t o b egin
building a much-needed field
house to anchor an athletic
complex and physical education program.
The completed structure will
be named the M. Gordon Clarke
Field House in honor of Mrs.
Clarke's late husband, an active
sports enthusiast.
The donation is the largest
single gift from a living person
t hat t he l o-year-old N orth
County university has received.
"The university community
is very pleased at the generosity of Mrs. Clarke and the confidence she has shown in the
future of our campus," CSUSM
President Alexander Gonzalez
said in announcing the gift.
"Generations of students will
benefitfromhaving a first-class
field house as part of their total
university experience."
M. Gordon Clarke was a longtime Hughes Tool Co. executive
with an abiding love of athletics. He considered a professional b aseball career a fter
competing at the University of
Oklahoma but decided to follow his father's footsteps aiid
go into business.
However, Mrs. Clarke said
her husband never lost his enthusiasm for all sports, from
baseball to football to golf.
"He would think nothing of
picking up the phone, calling
friends from around the country, and arranging a golf game
for all of them, in Hawaii," she
laughed.
"And when we got to the airport, of course the clubs went
on the plane first."
Mrs. Clarke said her husband
would have been 'thrilled" to
know that golf is the first team
sport at Cal State San Marcos,
with competition that began
earlier this month.
"And that is why I decided to
donate for the field house, because athletics was Gordon's
life in so many ways.
library and information center
across the cul-de-sac from Craven Hall. But Bonomo says this
p roject w ould need p rivate
funding in addition to the public bond.
Funding for the three buildings would begin in the first
year if the measure is approved.
The Library and Information
Center would receive funding
in the third year.
CSUSM has suffered in the
past when similar bond measures failed. Defeat of one in
1992 bond halted plans for the
construction of six new campus
buildings. In 1994, voters rejected one that would have
funded construction of three
new campus buildings.
But passage of a 1996 bond
funded construction of the recently completed University
Hall.
D espite p ast s etbacks,
Bonomo said she was hopeful
this time. T m optimistic. I've
been talking to a lot of people
about this and they seem to really care about education," she
added.
Proposition lA, put on the
ballot in response to the recent
state mandate to reduce class
sizes, would provide funding to
relieve overcrowding and accommodate s tudent e nroll-
ment growth.
It also would repair older
schools and provide wiring and
cabling for education technology.
A ccording t o Bonomo,
Proposition l A is the biggest
education bond to go before the
voters in California history. It
would provide $6.7 billion to K12 schools and $2.5 billion to
the UC, CSU and community
college systems. The-CSU system would receive $832 million
if the measure passes. CSUSM,
with its $72.3 million, ranks
second among the 23 CSU campuses. San Jose State would
receive the most at $83 million.

Such a scenario is not uncommon at the north entrance of the parking l ot But, soon, it will be a thing

Linda C. Leiter, director of CSUSM Business Services, said that tricky entrance will be closed for good
starting some time in November. Vegetation will be

An information booth which will also act as a parking enforcement booth also will be built inside the
parking lot, a few steps to the south and close to the

Lot 10 is the second largest parking lot on campus, with 482 spaces. Lot No. 106, which adjoins Lot

The Craven Drive entrance will be the only direct
access to Lot 10 after the construction. But Leiter

breast cancer.
That message is greatly reinforced by the striking images in
the Art Myers exhibit currently
on display in the CSUSM library. Titled "Winged Victory:
Altered Images Transcending
Breast Cancer," it contains Myers'
photos depicting women who have
had lumpectomies and mastectomies.
It will be on display through the end of October.
Myers, an internationally known photographer and a doctor,
normally commands large fees for his exhibits. But, thanks to a
request by biology student Roberta Sweeney, an 11-year survi; vor of breast cancer herself, Myers gave CSUSM the opportunity to showcase his art free of charge.
In 1987, Sweeney had a mastectomy and underwent a "Big Bad
Regimen" of chemotherapy that same year. "I always say "breast
cancer' and not just 'cancer,'" she says. "It distinguishes where and
what, it takes the sting out of it. People immediately associate cancer
with death, and it doesn't feel so scary to me when people hear 'breast
cancer.'"
Myers, who specializes in preventive medicine and public health,
is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He obtained a post-doctoral degree in public health from the Graduate School of Public Health at SDSU.
A self-taught photographer, he has studied with well-known artists, such as Annie Leibovitz: best known for her portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during their sixweek 1975 American Tour; her picture of a very pregnant and naked Demi
Moore on the cover of "Vanity Fair;" and one of Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub
filled with milk.
In the preface to the exhibit, Myers states, "It is my hope that these pictures,

poems and personal vignettes
will reveal the persistence of a
woman's beauty, strength, and femaleness in all of its complexity, even after the transforming experience of breast cancer."
CSUSM Women's Studies Professor Madeleine
Marshall agrees that the stigma of this cancer has impacted society. Just as images of the environment in crisis
contradicts the concept of Mother Earth, she adds, the premium on young, healthy and nurturing breasts clashes
f
with those that are sick.

Myers photographs, which include
his wife Stephanie, portray survivors of different ages and backgrounds, some posing with their partners. Poems by Maria
Marrocchino with titles like "Venus and Friends," "Hands That Still
Nurture," and "My Hands, My Body" were created especially for the
exhibit.
One picture shows a couple, Lisa and Scotty, posing with his motorcycle. Lisa faces the camera wearing nothing but jeans and boots,
in the text, she talks not of the couple's experience with breast cancer, but about their different i astesin motCMreycles. ^
In another picture, Dick writes about his wife Carol, the love of his
life: "I feel my mother's spirit shining down on both of us." His mother
had breast cancer, too.
Carol sits behind the light of candles to highlight her double mastectomy withtierhusband's face emerging from the dark like a steady ray
of light.
In another, Tanya, who has had a left mastectomy, urges everyone
to "live each day, each second, each morsel, to the fullest." She adds
that she turned breast cancer into a triumph by learning to regret nothing. "I would not undo this gift of perspective, even to have my breast
back," she writes.
"Painted Ladies" is a picture of women wearing humorous and
brightly colored body paint. Susan calls the long scar on her chest
"my badge of courage."
The exhibit is by no means the only campus reminder that October is Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. Sweeney herself is now an active speaker for the
Komen Foundation, a national organization that advances breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment.

Cram, cram, cram. That's what
college is all about, isn't it?
But here's what baffles me:
What's the deal with the enormous back-packs? They're luggage really. Are all you tukwuts
running away from home? Do
you camp out after that 6-9
p.m. class so you can keep that
prime parking place for your 9

,Students never used to c any
so much stuff. Since my first
college go-round, back-pack
sales have skyrocketed. Little

people are packing in them
these days, they must wear out

And it's not just college coeds. My 5-year-old niece is part
of this trend. She has a bright
pink back-pack that is so heavy,
I marvel she can even stand up.
(That Barbie doll piggy bank
certainly doesn't help matters
any.)
So I'd just like to know: What
the heck does everybody have

I, for one, travel light. A spiral binder to take notes in class.
Maybe, if I'm feeling downright
studious, a textbook. My wallet, because you never know
when youH need cash for caffeine. A pen and pencil, maybe
even a hi-liter. That's it. What
more could you possibly need?
For those who think I'm exaggerating when I call these
packs "luggage," how about
this: I've actually seen students
using luggage racks to carry
their back packs. Heck, I've
eyen seen a few pieces of luggage dragged around campus,
literally. Where will it end?
So, as I told a friend who instead of catching Padres fever

Where do you see yourself in
the next 40 years?On a beach
catching rays or maybe jet-setting around the world, spending time in your winter and
summer homes?
For many of us in our 20s,
growing older and retiring is
like a fable. Unreal as the future
may seem, now is the time to
be planning for our golden retirement years.
Social Security probably
won't be around when we retire, so we can rule out that potential source of income.
After we retire from our illustrious careers, we need to have
a plan to ensure a good quality
of life in our later years.
Start with something as little
as $50 a month. Right now,
many of us are worried about
paying tuition and bills.
The majority of CSUSM students are working so we do
have steady income coming in.
Take advantage of investment vehicles in your jobs like
4 0i(k)s, and p rofit-sharing
plans.
By investing early, you have
the potential to makemor^ in
the long run. Especially m stock "
funds that are geared toward
growth of your monies. For
those of you w ho are timid
about messing with the stock
market, you should know that
investing almost always beats
savings accounts.
Why put $500 into a savings
account that will pay you a yield
of only 2 percent when you can
put that $500 into a money
market fund and get 5 percent
return on your money?
Ask your human resources
people about getting into investment plans offered to fulltime employees.
If you are working part time
and don't qualify for these taxdeferred plans, then you can
call any n umber of m utual
funds companies and set up
automatic investment plans.
In an automatic investment
plan, you can have a set amount
of money taken out of your
checking account every month.
You won't miss that $50 or
$100.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a good way
t o i nvest y our h ard-earned
money too. These allow you to
put away up to $2,000 a year
tax free. It's something like a
write off.
But you can pull t he indney
out any time, and as long as you
put it back into the IRA within
60 days, you still don't have to
pay any taxes or penalties to the
Internal Revenue Service
For those of you who would
like to find out more about investing in your future... a little
bit at a time... get the answers
to your questions.

Faculty and President Address CSUSM's Growing Campus Needs

addressed
the
Academic
Assembly on Thursday, January
27th. Referring to "Tidal Wave

want to attend CSU."
A faculty member asked if
the university would continue to
focus on traditional arts and sciences or would instead respond
to requests for more professional
and
vocational
programs.
Gonzalez stated that both the
mission statement and the vision
statement mention traditional
arts and sciences as the "core of
the university." He also stated
that programs such as engineering and physical therapy are
expensive to start up. Gonzalez
said that the university could

OPINION
T uesday, February 1, 2 000
DEAR EDITORS:
I have been at Cal State now for two years, and have purchased expensive textbooks from our
University Store four times. Last semester, I woke up and realized that I had alternatives. The alternative I
chose was VarsityBooks.com. VarsityBooks.com not only saved me money, but it allowed me to avoid the
hassles of the bookstore during the peak back-to-school rush.
Because I appreciated my textbook purchasing experience so much with VarsityBooks.com, I decided
to become an on-campus marketing representative for the company to spread the word to other Cal State
students. In my marketing efforts, school authorities told me that I could only market VarsityBooks.com in
limited areas (very limited). If these rules applied to all companies outreaching to students on campus I
would understand, but when I found out that it was only other bookstores that had these limited marketing
rules, I was extremely disturbed.
Why does our school not want their students to be informed of their options to buy from alternative
more affordable textbook sources? Textbooks are a necessity and it is important that we have alternatives
to the bookstore. Now that other options exist, it is important that students know. VarsityBooks.com has
empowered students with choice and brings competition to the bookstore market. This can only end in
lower prices and better services for all Cal State students.
As this Letter-to-the.-Editor is the only way I can express my feelings, I invite all Cal State students to
join me in visiting www.varsitybooks.com when you purchase your books this semester.
Thank you,
Wes Gordon
Voices
By Joni Miller- P RIDE
S TAFF W RITER
While perusing the weekly Reader, I found my answer to "What to do on a rainy weekend?" A small
little notice read: " 'Voices of Freedom,' an afternoon of 'lightening and thunder cultural poetry' is promised on Sunday, January 16, at 3:00p.m. at the Cesar Chavez Resource Center." An interesting way to
spend the afternoon I surmised.
As I read further, I noticed that Cal State San Marcos' own Professor Sharon Elise was among the participants that were going to be present. Having heard her passionate prose many times, I knew it would be
an event worthy of partaking. I immediately grabbed my jacket and my partner Carol, and off we went to
an edifying poetry repast.
As we approached the center on San Diego Street in Oceanside, we were welcomed by the sound of
Native American drumming from within. Six men sat in a circle around a large drum, each beating in uni
son, as their voices chanted in spiritual song.
At first perhaps only twenty-five people were present, though a steady stream of latecomers eventually filled the small informal gathering. As usual, Dr. Elise brought the house down with her most dramatic reading of all, "Lock Up". This poem is included in her published collection entitled "Black, In a Tight,
White, Space."
Other notables of San Diego's poet society who were present were Sam Hemod, Adolpho Guzman
Lopez, Jihmye Collins, and Jim Matakey. But the afternoon was not just to sit back and enjoy; the gathering was a political event to raise awareness about the current three-strike law in California. The basic
message was to get people involved in supporting legislation limiting the 3-strikes law. to Violent Offenses.
For those of you who may want information on the three-strike law, you can find it4 on the web at
http.V/www.factslxom. or by contacting the North County Chapter of Families to Amend California's
Three-Strikes at (760) 726-1095
No matter what your political persuasion may be, it is always a wise decision to be informed. So often
we fail to pay attention to laws enacted upon us, until they affect someone we know. Be involved, be
active in your community, and choose the laws you want to live by.

CSUSM: A Corporation in
University Clothing?
Andrea Cavanaugh - P RIDE
S TAFF W RITER
Like you, I received an email over the winter break advising me of a new computing policy which I must acknowledge by
February 11th or lose my network privileges. My irritation at
yet another seemingly arbitrary
deadline deepened into unease
when I read the text of the policy.
It seemed I would be giving
away more than my signature by
acknowledging the policy.
For those who haven't read it,
the policy (among other things)
prohibits t heuse of the university computer system for the transmission of "unsolicited information" (such as e-mail or posting
to a news group) which is
deemed by any recipient to be
"offensive/' "inappropriate," or
"obscene." Furthermore, by
using the system, I "expressly
submit to tracking and/or monitoring" of my communication by
the university. Violation of the
policy will result in the loss of
computing privileges, an action
that may prevent me from completing courses needed for graduation.
Unfortunately, the agreement
was all too familiar to me. I had
to sign something very similar
when I worked for a big corporation. I wasn't happy about signing it then, but I understood. A
Corporation's concerns are not
free expression or academic
license. A Corporation is concerned with making money and
protecting itself from liability.
But the university is not a corporation. Or is it?
Many people see policies
such as this one as just another
indicator of the ongoing
Corporatization of public education, the demand that education
be more self-supporting, that it
be more convenient and easier to
digest, the push to provide quantity at the expense of quality.
Add to these the tipping of the
scales away from freedom of
expression and toward protection
from liability, and the university
system comes one step closer to
becoming just another company
that provides a service. Getting a
college degree becomes not an
experience that transforms your
life, but just another product you
pay for, like a new car or a wide
screen TV.
I had other questions about
the policy. How would I know if
a recipient would find something
offensive before I sent it? How
would the university define
obscenity? I communicated my
concerns to the university, and
SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS TO THE EDITORS TO THE PRIDE
was told that they wouldn't need
to define obscenity beeause the
courts already have. But,
although courts have ruled on
specific cases, they have not, to
my knowledge, ever defined
obscenity beyond Supreme Court
Justice Potter Stewart's assertion
in the 1970's that he "knows it
when he sees it." Will that also
be the yardstick used by the university?
Of course, the policy explicitly states that the computer network is to be used only for
assigned course work, research,
or campus activities. The administration will tell you that anyone
who feels compelled to spout
offensive,
inappropriate,
obscene, unsolicited information
i s f ree to obtain inexpensive
Internet access from one of the
nine zillion providers out there.
In other words, they aren't trying
to squelch your free spirit, they
are merely preventing you from
exercising it on state property.
But what about approved uses?
What if a professor of an on-line
class assigns a novel with sex
scenes, or an art text with nude
subjects? Does it violate the policy? Probably not. What if the
professor is unpopular with the
administration or is active in the
union? Does it violate the policy
now? Who knows? What about a
student who submits copy to this
newspaper via the school computer network? Isn't the content
of a student newspaper sometimes offensive, and rightly so?
I have found that I am not the
only person who objects to this
policy. Almost everyone I have
spoken with who understands its
implications have signed it under
duress, because they fear the
consequences of ignoring it.
I am concerned about these
issues, not because I want to use
the campus computer network to
"spam" you with porn or incite a
revolution, but because I think
the spirit of a university exists
not in bottom lines or in liability
issues but in the free exchange of
ideas, in an environment where
people feel at liberty to speak
their minds, without repercussions.
The university says the policy is meant to preserve academic
freedom, not to restrict it. But we
may find that this version of academic freedom, in which we are
judged not by our characters but
by the content of our e-mail, does
not feel so free.

DEAR EDITORS:
TAYLOR cont. from pg. 1
I have a proposal for a New Year's Resolution:
Being that we are still one of the newer universities in California, I
feel we as students have a lot of opportunities to grow with this campus.
We can create and offer ideas that will help the establishment of our
University.
With this in mind, I propose that we as students of CSU San Marcos
be positive in every ^ ay as we attend our University. Let's make our college years the best! Sure, we may find a little problem along the way,
but rather than dwell on it and criticize the negative, let's find a way to
make it positive.
One way to achieve such a goal is to join ASI. I find that there are
many clubs and committees where I can give ideas and get involved with
campus issues and developments. Join me in trying to keep our college
years memorable. Let's help our University grow! Be positive and stay
motivated!
Sincerely Yours,
A Student With A Resolution

ZAP MAMA - A Ma Zone
6IRL,
INTERRUPTED
By Samantha Cahill
PRIDE EDITOR
'People ask how we got in there.
What they really want to know is
f they're likely to end up there as
veil. I can't answer the real ques:ion. All I can tell you is ... it's
sasy."
— Susanna Kaysen
Based on the best-selling
nemoir by writer Susanna
SCaysen, Girl, Interrupted is a
[>owerful film that questions the
xmndaries between sanity/madless, friendship/betrayal, and
reedom/imprisonment.
The film stars two-time
\ cademy Award nominee and
Golden Globe winner Winona
Ryder, two-time Golden Globe
winner Angelina Jolie, and
Academy
Award
winners
Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa
Redgrave.
Set in 1967, the film chronicles
the experiences of 18-year-old
Susanna Kaysen. Kaysen, played
by Winona Ryder, is diagnosed
with Borderline Personality
Disorder, which is "manifested
by uncertainty about self-image,
long-term goals, types of friends
or lovers to have, and which values to adopt." Despite the fact
that such a diagnosis could be
made about many people, her
parents
send
Kaysen
to
Claymoore, a mental hospital.
The remainder of the film is
dedicated to Kay sen's experience
Administrative
at Glaymoore, the friendships she
makes, and the choices she must
make to become healthy.
The film is filled with exemplary performances, heartfelt
drama, and dry humor. The character of Lisa, played by Angelina
Jolie, is a spectacular heroic villain, whose forthrightness is captivating, to say the least. Though
it lacks the elegant cinematography of European and independent
films, all in all, Girl, Interrupted
is not to be missed.
Running Time: 125 minutes
MPAA rating: ' R' for strong language and content relating to
drugs, sexuality and suicide.

PRIDE EDITOR
a cappella group Zap Mama, is a
rhythmic and compelling compilation which combines the groups more traditional vocals with the
sounds of western hip-hop and R & B.
Diverging from the group's primarily vocal basis, lead singer
Marie Daulne has taken the group's sound to a new place in her own
exploration of the musical influences of her youth. "Our mother
would make us learn the polyphonic singing, but at the time we
thought it was boring because it was traditional," stated Daulne.
Unlike the group's first three albums, which relied mostly on
traditional polyphonic vocals, in A Ma Zone, Daulne returned to the
R & B and Hip-Hop which had proved so much more compelling to
the teenage girl who found polyphonic vocals "boring" and "traditional."
The result is a spectacular combination of traditional, Swahili
and Wolof and Pygmy vocals alongside French and English, all set
to hip-hop and R & B beats with Funk grooves. In addition to a
compelling sound, the album, like Daulne's other, is laden with
political and social commentary.

T O LIBRARY RE
"The university library appreciates the time students have
t aken during the last six
months to offer their suggestions, ideas, and complaints
regarding the library collections and services. We hope the
following responses shed some
light on our continuing effort to
serve your information needs."
- Bonnie Biggs, Assistant to the
D ean, & Coordinator f or
Public S ervices, Library &
Information Services
The new lights in the cubicles
and general library are lOx's better. Thank you! Now I like to
study in here, it doesn't seem so
dark.
Yes! We are so pleased with the
improved l ighting. The new
building (open in 2003) will
have a lot of natural light!
Later hours. More hours. Longer
hours on Saturday and Sunday.
The answer to your requests is
budget. The library has not
been able t o a dd P ublic
Services s taff since 1994,
though our student body has
grown significantly since then.
We simply do not have the bodies to cover all the hours students would like us to be open.
I j ust wanted to say that the circulation desk staff is very helpful, especially T iffany and
Allison. Please tell them they are
doing a great j ob at the library. I
am a freshman here and they
have helped me find my way
around and find the information I
needed.
I think the staff at the front desk
is doing an awesome j ob. All are
extremely friendly, polite, f un,
and helpful. No need to change a
thing.
I just wanted to compliment the
wonderful front desk staff at the
library. There are two girls there
who are always helpful and nice.
I really appreciate everything
they do.
Thanks f or the positive feedback.
S taff i n the P ublic
Services area is committed to
providing
student-centered
service every single day.
It would be nice if you folks
could place one of the large reference dictionaries on the second
floor like the ones found on the
first floor.
This is an excellent idea. We
have ordered a Random House
Webster's College Dictionary
for the Fourth Floor.
By the late afternoon, the M en's
restroom is usually trashed and
there are no towels. It would be
nice if the maintenance dept.
could give the restroom(s) a
quick clean-up in the early afternoon so that the evening students
who use the library (like myself)
are not thoroughly disgusted by
the conditions of the restroom.
Also, I like the new lights and
rearrangements. The more private study carrels the better. The
larger "group study" tables only
attract noise and conversation
and I would suggest eliminating
them completely.
We forwarded your complaint
about the men's restroom . to
our Facilities Services office.
We hope y ou've noticed an
improvement. We get numerous requests for group study
s paces, as professors are
requiring more collaborative
projects - so, we won't be eliminating the group study areas
but in the new library, we plan
to have plenty of private and
group study spaces.
Parking needs to have some kind
of sign with the library schedule
posted. It's not fair f or non-students who have an awful time
with parking not to have easy
access before paying f or parking.*
This is a very good suggestion.
We contacted Parking Services
and they are happy to help us
out. We will be delivering a
handout with library hours to
the new parking kiosk later
today.
There is far too much talking
going on in the supposedly
"Quiet" study areas of the library.
Any student should have the right
to come to the library to study in
complete silence without being
disturbed by less serious students
who think it might be "neat" to
chat here. I feel that a librarian
should check once in a while to
attempt to eliminate this problem.
Some LARGE SIGNS saying
"NO TALKING" may be a step
in the right direction. I would b e
happy to print and post these
signs myself.
We regret that the library is not
always as quiet as you would
like. It is simply too small to
ensure noise-free areas. We do
have signs posted on the 4**1
Floor that , read "Quiet Study
Area". We have found that students reminding fellow students about disruptive behavior works well.
Out of 4 copiers in the library,
only one worked! The print was
so bad I could hardly see it! The
machines have been printing this
way f or a least one week, probably more. This is totally ridiculous!
materials you cannot find.
Yes! We too were very frustrated with the performance
and quality of our copiers.
Right before fall semester, we
replaced 3 of the 4 copiers with
higher quality machines.
Please open an extra week before
finals.
In fall of 1997 the library
responded to an ASI request to
extend open hours during
finals. We rearranged staff and
student assistant hours in the
library and Media. For the fall
1999 semester, the library will
have extended hours between
December 8 - 1 4 . We will be
open until 10:00 p.m. Dec. 8, 9
13 & 14 and open at 11:00 a.m.
on Dec. 11 & 12.
I was frustrated when searching
for children's books. Nearly all
of the books that were listed are
in Spanish. I understand that i t's
important to have books available in Spanish, but it would also
be nice to have children's books
in English available as well.
We have a sizable collections of
children's books in English.
The titles you located in
Spanish are part of the special
collection - "The Center for the
Study of Books in Spanish for
Children & Adolescents". Try
limiting your search o n the
PAC with "juv" and you'll be
able to peruse our juvenile collection.
It would be great if Annex materials could be requested online.
The library should devise a system so that books can be renewed
via the computer, check due dates
and fines.
All good suggestions.
Our
library systems group is working on a new system upgrade.
We are hoping it will provide
patrons with the ability to
renew materials and place
holds on Annex materials
online by the spring 2000
semester. You can check your
circulation records and any
fines by going into the library's
PAC,
select
Electronic
Resources, CSUSM Catalog,
and then select View Your Own
Record. Simply type in your
name and barcode number.
Note: you must have something checked out or have fines,
or nothing will show up.

Building Efforts
The Temporary Loss of Cheer
Andrea Cavanaugh
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Vicor Mireles
The issue of insurance
has halted practice for the past
two months. As a result they were
forced to stop practicing and have
not done so for the past two
months. Coach Groom stated,
"Most colleges have cheerleading
liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could
not obtain insurance on their own
the Coach replied, "Three of the
coaches had offered to pay, but if
they did the program would inherit
the cost
of any liability."
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North
County, has recently donated
$50,000 for the construction of
the new Library Information
Center at CSUSM. Conrique's
donation not only pushed the
university over the top of its
$2.5 million goal, the donation
was also doubled. Jean and W.
Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge
grant, had pledged to match
donations dollar-for-dollar up
to a $500,000 total.
Conrique, President of
Rancho Santa Fe Technologies,
is also a member of the Trust
Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee
made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM.
The Board is part of the driving
force for private funding of the
University Capital Campaign
and their efforts to raise money
for new facilities at CSUSM.
This is not the first donation
Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated
$50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him,
the program may not have
gotten out of the starting block,"
Fogerson said.
Conrique has also pledged
to donate an additional $50,000
to the construction of the M.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM
Sonia Gutierrez
PRIDE STAFF WRITER

On February 2, 2000,
the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester
with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The
Painted Hand." Salas's work
contrasts bright and dark colors
in a struggle against and toward
each hand in the series. Salas's
title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does
not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^
Acrylic hand paintings
in black woodenframesmake up
the Salas exhibition. The hands
in Salas's pieces communicate
through gestures, each with an
individualized tattoo.
The paintings depict a
range of hand gestures being
purposely positioned to take on
different meanings,fromthe left
and right hands clenching at the
fist, to open hands reaching out,
and to a hand grasping a red ball
with the word "rebote," which
translates to "rebound" in English. «.

own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal
Arts major, commented on one of
her favorite pieces. Vina said, "I like
this hand because it seems like an
older hand. The hand has more life,
and it rests in supplication." The
hand intrigued me as well.

work goes deeper than the superficiality of a painted hand. Understanding each piece demands critical observation and an appreciation

Salas's sensitivity and desire as
a private and public artist developed
while growing up in a non-affluent
neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has
been my goal to improve the quality
of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically
to communities of people who are
unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the
well being of humanity are qualities
which earned his piece, "Dream,"
a place in the Martin Luther King
Jr. Promenade in downtown San
Diego.

A positive" outlook for this
year's track season fuels the dedication
and determination of CSUSM's track
athletes. Willi over five months spent
training, track athletes have optimistic
attitudes and have set high goals for
themselves. Approximately twenty-five
students anticipate a season that will
lead them to national competition.
Returning cross-country champion,
Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at
the national level in the 1500-meter
race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles
at the national level. Heather Garritson
also plans on competing at the national
level, running distance races ranging
from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason
McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye
Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also
determined to qualify for national competition.
The team will face strong
competition in the Mt. SAC Relays.
Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as
a "fast track", often giving athletes an
opportunity to improve their marks in
magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks.
Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its
Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous
Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa
Pacific University will also prove to be
helpful in increasing marks, since it is
a "fast track" as well.
Although there are no current
plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track
this season, students are encouraged
to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton,
Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC),
Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British
Columbia (national competition) in
support of the team!

Former Lieutenant Sues CSUSM
for Race and Gender Discrimination
The article stated, "The University did little or nothing to change a
"hostile environment" on campus
which includes, name-calling, posters, signs and "caricatures of bigoted illustrations" that she found
racist and offensive." It was not
made clear where the posters where
found. The university has denied
every allegation and has said that
the case should be thrown out. The
university has made a request for a

According to the Saturday,

Smith began her position as Lieutenant for CSUSM's Public Safety

Smith had twenty-three years of

CSUSM Awarded $1 Million
from Qualcomm
Shanna Skidmore
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
CSUSM will receive $1 million over a twoyear period to support the College of Business Administration. Although m process,
it has not been determined how the funds
will be distributed. These funds may be used
to help develop training programs for professionals seeking middle-management positions in high-tech and biotech firms.
CSUSM was included among a group
of educational institutions to receive part
of some $25 million that Qualcomm generously donated. Qualcomm agreed to donate
the money to four universities including San
Marcos. University of California, San Diego,
San Diego State and the foundation for the
improvement of Mathematics and Science
Education in the San Diego Unified School
District were also among the select group to
receive the money.
"We're thrilled to have the support from
Qualcomm," said Kathleen Watson, Interim
Dean of the College of Business Admin-
Bad weather on Tuesday discouraged student turnout to only a
handful of students. However, sunny
weather on Wednesday increased the
turnout to around 35 students for
the forum. Most candidate issues
focused on ways to increase student
participation in student government
and addressed the need to lobby the
administration, local and state government for student issues.
Supporters ofthe two competing
slates in the crowd used the forum as
an opportunity to ask difficult questions of the many candidates. Dean
was not asked any questions regarding his issues, but defended his election slate's composition.

expand the College of Business Administration. Although Qualcomm did not state specifically how the money should be spent, the
University has discussed a need for training
individuals involved in high-tech companies
for middle management positions. "The idea
would be to design the program based on the
business community's needs," Watson stated.
The program would benefit people who are
fully employed and moving into management positions and seeking a MBA (masters
degree) in biotech, high-tech, or business
majors.
The donation was part of a commitment
connected to the "Digital Opportunity" tour
by President Clinton. "Digital Opportunity"
is designed to close the gap between those
who can afford to access computer technology and those who cannot.

'saving a dollar,' it has less concerns about saving the 'future'

I, too, am disappointed to see a well-respected professor
leave the university. If she has been well liked and respected
for her teaching andrelationshipswith her students, then let
the students decide what FLEXIBILITY is! This so called

lot C. Although built in 1992, the
greenhouse has been non-operational until this semester due to
funding problems. Now fully operational and being used by Ecology
classes,finally,the greenhouse has
been put to use for growing life.
The corn and beans study will
show how the plants compete
against each other for limited soil
nutrients and light. The students
have dried and weighed the plants,
and are currently compiling their
data in order to write up the results
of this research activity.
Continually, more Ecology
classes are being offered at CSUSM.
But the greenhouse is not solely for
Ecology students' use. It provides
research opportunities for all students and faculty. "The greenhouse
offers a new dimension for students [concerning] instruction and
research aspects," says Dr. George
Vourlitis, Terrestrial Plant Ecologist
and CSUSM professor.
Undeveloped hillsides of chaparral adjacent to CSUSM are ideal
for study - natural landscapes with
native vegetation and ecosystems.
The new Science Hall, currently
under construction, is predicted to
be complete in fall 2002, according
to Bella Newberg, Financial and
The Biological Sciences Department has within it the Ecology concentratioh where students work in
the greenhouse under the class Biology 354, "Principles of Ecology".
Various fields of study fall under
ecology, which is the science of
the relationships between organisms
and their environments. In fall 2000,
a Terrestrial Ecology class will be
offered that is ecosystem-focused,
and studies soil and the interaction
between carbon, nutrients and water
cycles. Terrestrial Plant Ecology
studies the plant as a main unit,
focusing on its growth and nutrient
synthesis, according to Vourlitis.
Currently CSUSM only focuses
on general and "Terrestrial Plant"
ecology, although there are plans to
develop an Environmental Sciences
program in the future.

Plan to move
childcare center
on campus
By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ
Pride StaffWriter
Four weeks ago, Interim President, Roy
McTarnaghan gave the go ahead to the
Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) to bring
to him a clear business plan for a new
building, tentatively called "The Center
for Children and Families," which will
house the Early Learning Center (ELC).
The ELC is a daycare center run by
ASI providing inexpensive and easily
accessible childcare for CSUSM students and members of the community.
New buildings added to the campus like
the Clarke Field House/University Student
Union, the University Village apartments
and the Kellogg Library, changed the
landscape and have expanded campus life.
The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled
before the end of the semester so that
it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office.
The ELC is currently located offcampus
at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos.
"Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we
have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus.
We recently have been told that there will
be space (available) here on campus," said
Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI.
According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are
under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services
building where the University Police
are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building.
Plans for the new facility include longer
business hours, to better accommodate
student schedules, and an expansion of
services, to include children in infancy to
after school programs for older children.
At present the ELC is licensed
for only 48 children and provides

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness
By DANIELLE BOLDT
Pride StafFWriter
In the spirit of Campus Equity
Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty,
staff and students came together to
voice their concerns at a campus
rally. In effort to raise awareness
about higher education, Coalition
of Contingent Academic Labor and
the California Faculty Association
(CFA) organized a petition-signing
to "Save classes/Save our teachers."
The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California
State University (CSU) system has
negatively impacted higher education.
The CSU administration has
failed to meet the guidelines of the
Supplemental Report Language
(SRL), that the CSU will "ensure
the quality and availability of CSU
class offerings, student services,
and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4).
Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent
faculty and students, the Cal State
See CFA, page 2
"The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University
Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens.
Students who come to the bookstore in
hopes of purchasing a class schedule will
be told of the change. Students are told to
direct any comments on the new accepted
format for the class schedules to the Office
ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201.
Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring
semester, there is a Registration Guide
and Catalog Addendum available at
the bookstore. The addendum only
includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

community has attempted to collect
over 10,000 signatures in a petition
to reverse reductions in lecturer
jobs and classes. The hope is that
Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse
the petition, with the need to "Save
our classes/save our teachers."
"We are here, on behalf of the
students," said Tasha Iglesias,
education major and CFA intern
for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped
lead the student voice concerning
the petition.
Iglesias shared her concern that
many students are ignorant to what
they are signing. With music and
free food available (at the rally),
most students are willing to sign
anything. At the same time, it came
"as a comfort that "some students
were skeptical, and asked lots of
questions about the petition."
The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU
administration has implemented
budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds
of contingent faculty (statewide),
and in turn, directly affecting the
students' education, the outcome
has not gone unnoticed. From
crowded and unavailable classes to
the limited office hours of faculty,
students are faced with limitations,
making it more difficult to graduate
on time.
"This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student
learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and
CFA representative for Cal State
Long Beach.
It is the hope that a week of
campus equity will reap enough
signatures and support from the
CSU community to send the petition to legislature.
Iglesias said that over the past
several weeks the CFA, student
organizations such as Lobby Corps,
ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN
(Women's Studies) have worked to
achieve their goal.
Iglesias said, "We have sent out
bundles of invitations, crashed
classes, and handed out information
regarding campus equity week and
the petition signing."
"That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is
needed (at the University). The
faculty needs to nourish students,
and in turn, the university needs to
support the faculty."

only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could
attain in class experience right here on campus.
"We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim
Associate Dean in the College of Education.
"I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to
education and that is the primary mission
of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk.
In the university's mission statement the
promise to meet the needs of its students is
explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services
that responds to the needs of a student body
with diverse backgrounds expanding student
access to an excellent and affordable education."
In this time of financial crisis
the issue of funding is looming.
"ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt.
The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs.
Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline
outlining projections for each step; Fall
2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004,
secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete.
This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed
facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high
level of enthusiasm and interest from donors."
Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is
all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings."
"We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said
Barsky. After students become comfortable
with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes
that it will increase communication on campus.
An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in
degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

�Meeting ohfourhe mwinds:
t unites orld travlers
coffee
ByMARKPERRERA
Pride StaffWriter
Tuesday,
November
11, 2003 ended this
semester's gathering of
the International Coffee
Club by welcoming
International students who
were studying overseas.
The good-bye offered a
special panel discussion
with faculty, staff, and
students discussing topics
including: what motivated
the students in deciding to
study overseas, what they
learned while overseas, and
cultural differences they
had to adapt.
Yoko Suzuki, a junior
and Japanese native is
majoring in sociology.
She spoke of her positive
experiences with the
educational system. "It's
the best system compared
to the rest of the world.
America is the only place
where no matter what your
age group you can still go
to school and get a degree.
In other parts of the world,
this is not possible."
When - Suzki was
in Japan she took her
traditions for granted. Now
in the United States, she is
more aware of her customs,
which allows her to feel
more independent and selfconfident as she must make
decisions without close
guidance from her family.
She loves the support her
family gives her as well as
her fellow classmates and
professors.
Samson Manickarej,
from India, agreed
with Suzuki about the
high quality of United
States education system.
Manickarej, a computer
science major is very in tune
with his culture and smiles
when he discusses how his
stay in America enabled
him to see his homeland
differently. He compared
America to a melting pot or
"internationalmarket where
everyone is welcomed."
His classmates, loved ones,
arid professors support
him. His one wish is that
more students travel abroad
to experience a world
different from their own
and get a perspective of
what it is like to be in a
foreign country.
Kim Quinney is a history
professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her
passion for world travel
is to research her family
roots.
Scott Greenwood, a
professor of political
science visibly enjoyed his
discussion about his time
spent in Jordan studying
Arabic. Terry Allison
discussed his experience
while in France. He said
the younger generation
loves everything about
the western culture from
its fashion to hip-hop.
The older generation does
not approve of this trend
and find that the youth
are displacing their rich
heritage.
Students and professors
alike had a wealth of
information to share with
faculty, staff, and students.
The quality of the United
States education system
continued to resurface.
Having the opportunity
to study abroad changed
their lives from an
educational standpoint and
touched and changed their
personal lives.

mountain driving. The resort opened with
three trails and three lifts. The Upper
Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser
contain up to 12" of snow with some
obstacles on the way down.
The runs are equipped with fun boxes
and rails for snowboarders and skiers to
challenge on their way down the slope.
The snow is thin, but it's only November.
There is plenty of winter for snow to build
up on the ground. Mountain High is open
from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8:
00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding
everyday from 5:00-10:00pm.
Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and
Snow Summit merging, has also begun
the winter season. Big Bear has between
6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park
known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps
and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day
on the mountain.
Bear has also opened Big Bear Express
for the snowboarder or skier seeking to
test their carving or cutting abilities on the
snow. The season should bring more snow
to the mountain to help keep your board or
ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear
is open Monday through Friday from 8:
30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday
from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to
spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has
half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm.
If you are willing to take a longer drive,
Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the
largest resort in Southern California, is a
thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has
2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole
lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open
and the Gondola has opened as of Friday,
November 14.
Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain
Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps
and jibs that will put your stomach in your
throat. The park is also equipped with the
super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but
will open soon to give the greatest riding
experience.
For the new snowboarder or skier that
does not understand the above language,
it's time to learn. Check out one of the local
resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the
extreme before advancing on to Mammoth.
Both resorts offer lessons seven days a
week and private lessons. They also have
complete ski and snowboard rentals so you
can try it before you buy it.

Kaleidoscope of Sound
By LISA GEORGE
Pride StafifWriter
Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating
strains of melody. The power and driving
force behind 80 trained musicians directed
by a seasoned and energetic conductor
is what makes a symphony a memorable
experience. The South Coast Symphony
directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is
expected from a symphony.
Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for
Orange County," this finely tuned group of
musical magicians compliment a variety of
composers. Their powerful renditions of
"Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain,"
a brief sampling of the works presented
at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo
Friday, Nov. 14.
The resonant minor chords were backed
by thunderous timpani and other percussive
instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and
celebrations throughout the night seemed
to burst through the four walls and into the
surrounding city.
The setting at the Coast Hills church
provided two big screens through which a
camera man was projecting up close views
of the musicians and conductor throughout
the concert. This particular visual style
allowed for a big and little picture of the
energy evoked by the musicians through
their finely honed skills of musical creation.
Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald
Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato,
while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical
steel instrument producing a blended, yet
pronounced sound that added to the full
resonance created by the horns and violin
sections.
The selection of this night's performance

Will Ferrell stars as Buddy the elf and

"makes" the movie. Ferrell seems to take
the character Buddy so seriously, and then

Ferrell's humor comes in often as Buddy

Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his
pokerfaced delivery of jokes and overall

that the movie wasn't balanced.
Most of the movie isfilledwith jokes and

The latter half of the film quickly pours
on the feel-good holiday vibe that is so
cliché in films like this. That is the only
place that " Elf' really went wrong.
The movie was cast well. It was slapstick

hurried second half of the film, Favreau
should be thrilled that he took such a kooky
storyline and turned it into a future family

T h e V e r d i c t i s t it—
Runaway Jury
^
=
The suspenseful psychological
thriller, based on courtroom
novelist John Grisham's narrative,
contains an A-list cast and an
explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to
make this one of the best films of
the year.
This box-office success begins
with a bang — literally. Gun-toting
killers shoot up an office building,
creating a massacre, which leaves
11 dead.
The widowed wife of a
businessman brings a major civil
suit against the gun manufacturer
she feels is responsible for her
husband's death. With the
increasingly hostile public opinion
on guns, the powerful firearm
conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the
industry.
Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman,
a chivalrous lawyer who fuels
the case with his honest passion,
represents the widow. His
opponent speaks for the arrogant
gun corporation, behind which
stands a brilliant veteran jury
consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene
Hackman, who will stop at nothing
to ensure a verdict favoring the
firm.
Fitch stations his surveillance
team at a high tech center disguised
as a warehouse where they inspect
potential jurors in order to
strategically control the selection
of the jury.
However, the moralizing plaintiff
attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon
realize more is at stake when one
juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack,
and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel
Weisz, inform both attorneys that
the jury's for sale- for $10 million.
A dangerous game of cat and
mouse set in the French Quarter of
New Orleans proceeds.
Making up for the implausible
story is the extraordinary cast,
which works together in creating
a heated courtroom melodrama
beneath a background of
controversial issues.
The film is the first coupling
of screen legends Gene Hackman
and Dustin Hoffman, who form
a climax for the movie when the
two veterans battle it out in a tense
scene.
The movie struggles to overcome
major changes from the novel all
the while keeping the character
development and plot twists
distinctive of Grisham. The film
needlessly replaces the original
scenario targeting the tobacco
industry with a political debate on
gun manufacturers.
Although the characters' motives
are more transparent in the film, it
maintains the high level ofsuspense
from the tense courtroom novel.
Viewers unfamiliar with the
book will not predict director
Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls"
and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly
timed plot twists.
Fleder produces a tightly wound
thriller with his natural ability
to know exactly what audiences
will expect from the film, the
cast's impressive performance,
and the unique camera-like
cinematographic techniques.
The confrontation scenes and
equally heated political outcome
are enough to keep any moviegoer
on the edge of their seat.

Graduate Intern
The tentative contract
agreed upon by the California
Faculty Association (CFA) and
the CSU Administration on
March 2 was ratified, by an
overwhelming 95 percent of
voting CFA members, on March
22. The three-year contract
extends through 2004 and
affects more than 22,000 CSU
faculty and employees.
CFA Chapter President
George Diehr said, “At Cal

the agreement: over 85 percent.
About 91 percent of CSUSM
voters voted to ratify the agree- •

City Pulls the Plug on Power Surge Cafe
ByAMYBOLASKI

Athletic Department Only Dr. Oberem to Receive Brakebill Award
Receives 5 Percent of Donation By LISA LIPSEY
Pride Feature Editor
CLAUDIA IGNACIO
Pride Editor
On Jan. 9, the university
received a gift of $2.6 million
from Helen Clarke for athletic
scholarships. Clarke had previ
ously assisted the athletic depart
ment through other grants. She
died on Dec. 3, 2000, at the age
of 83 and became the largest
single donor to Cal State San
Marcos, with gifts totally nearly
$4 million.
“The grant has not increased
our budget, it only provides secu
rity,” said Steve Scott, head track
coach. The endowment’s pur
pose is to support the scholar
ships for student-athletes in the
campus’ golf, cross-country and
track programs. Nonetheless,
only 5 percent of the $2.6 mil
lions will be distributed each
year, starting next fiscal year.
If the percentage of the invest
ment is more than 5 percent, the
university foundation will invest
theVest into the original princi
pal’s amount.
According to Scott, “The
University Foundation handles
all the money, the grant will
be invested and due to certain
guidelines and regulations, only
5 percent goes to the scholar
ship program.” This means that
approximately $130,000 will go
to 40 track and field, 14 golf
and 20 cross-country athletes.
The CSUSM Foundation is a
nonprofit, auxiliary organiza
tion that aims to advance the
goals of the university through

,
Free issues of The New York
Times and The San Diego Union
Tribune will continue to be
available at newsstands around
campus until the last week of
March. This is part of the fourweek Readership Pilot Program
brought to CSUSM by the Asso
ciated Students, Inc (ASI). The
program has been instated on a
trial basis in order to ascertain
how many students pick up and
read the paper(s).
“The decision to keep the
program depends on funding. If
we can partner up with other
offices on campus - then the
program will most likely stay.
If ASI is solely responsible for
the funding, then it depends on
cost, etc,” said Jocelyn Brown,
ASI vice president of External
Affairs.
The newspapers will be on

New Library Has First Accident
CFA Ratifies Contract
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
At approximately 9:30 a.m.
Tuesday. March 19, a column
from the initial framework of
the new library fell. No one
was injured when the 85-foot-tall
steel column fell, and the struc
ture incurred only minor dam
ages, including chipped concrete
and broken wooden handrails.
The 10-ton vertical column
stands with anchor bolts and lev
eling nuts to hold it in place.
To install a horizontal beam,
the crane supporting the column
must let go of the vertical column
to pick up the horizontal beam.
When it was released, the ver
tical beam let loose. According
to Don Price, construction man
ager, “The column just wasn’t
secure enough.”
The incident could have been
extremely damaging. “If it had
fallen in any other direction, it

potentially could have hit the
crane or the retaining walls,”
said Price. “[The incident] in no
way damages the integrity of the
building”
One-half to two-thirds of the
column is no longer usable and
has been discarded. Visibly and
structurally, the damaged column
is much shorter than the rest,
but construction continues. “This
[incident] will in no way slow
down construction,” said Price.
The incident was reportedly
due to subcontractor McMahon
Steel’s technique of using only
one crane to accomplish the job.
“The technique the contractor
was using isn’t allowed any
more,” said Price, who guaran
teed it will not happen again.
The contractor must now use two
cranes. “If you look, there are
now two cranes. One crane hold
ing the column, and one crane
installing the beam,” he added.
Although the incident hasn’t
slowed down construction, it
was costly. The damage done
will cost approximately $20,000.
“[McMahon] has to pay all the
losses. It’s not coming out of the
taxpayer’s dollars,” Price said.
For now, the construction
team will install the horizontal
beams on the second and third
floors, waiting approximately
another month until the broken
column can be spliced. Accord
ing to Price, “A field splice is
very common and easy to do.”
After the splice is done, the team
will be able to complete the
framework of the fourth and fifth
floors as well as the roof.
“On a positive note, the
library should be finished by
summer 2003, and we broke
ground for the Clark Field House
today, [March 20],” said Price,
reiterating that one such inci
dent will not stop the growth of

�S exual Predator Lurking at San Diego State University
By JAMIEKO LANE
Pride Staff Writer
On March 5, 2002, the fifth
and latest attack was made by a
sexual predator roaming the area
around SDSU. The five attacks
all happened near the campus.
Two of the attacks happened at
the same apartment complex on
Montezuma Rd. The third hap
pened down the street on Mon
tezuma road, the fourth on 55th
Street, and the fifth in a grocery
store on El Cajon Boulevard.
All five women, 20 years old,
are not connected or related in
any way. According to Marc
Fox, Crime Prevention Specialist
at SDSU, “They’re isolated inci
dents, completely random and offcampus.” According to Detective
Ron Newquist, of the San Diego
Police Department, “The man
followed the women home and
entered shortly after they did,
through an unlocked door, in
three of the incidents.”
The man does not rape the
women, instead he commits
what’s called sexual battery. The
man comes from behind and
grabs the crotch and the breasts of
the women through their clothes.
All five women began scream
ing and pushing him away, which
startled the man and made him
flee.
According to Fox, “The con
cept is to increase awareness.
We are trying to increase the
use of more safety precautions.
Common sense things, like walk
ing in groups and making sure
that all doors and windows are
locked.” Fox also said that they’ve
increased the patrol around the
campus with both undercover and
uniformed police. Fox, a propo
nent of R.A.D. (a self defense
course against rape, solely for
women) said, “People are picked
on their perception of vulnerabil
ity. Sometimes a woman who
appears confident and aware of
her surroundings avoids a poten
tial attack without even knowing
it.”
“The media has depicted one
guy. But he isn’t it. We have two
other suspects pending computer
[confirmation],” said Newquist
on the progress of the case. The
perpetrator has been described as
a black male between the ages of
17-22,5’6-5’8 ,140-170 lbs., short
hair, round face, flat nose, clean
shaven and wears baggy clothes.
If you see anyone matching this
description you should call the
San Diego Police Department’s
24-hour line (619) 531-2000.
CSUSM is a relatively safe
campus, with no sexual attacks
recorded to date. . When asked
about the precautions and strat
egies that the university police
would take if a sexual predator
came to CSUSM, Chief Tom
Schultheis of the CSUSM uni
versity police said, “This would
be considered a serious situation
and we would make it a numberone priority.”
“The first thing that I would
do would be to recommend that
all our women students look into
the R.A.D. program. It’s a
class that allows women to be
self-empowered.
Second we
would work with the Sheriffs
Department and do everything
that would ultimately lead to an
arrest,” said Schultheis.
One thing that was suggested
by both Fox and Schultheis was
that all female students be more
aware of their surroundings when
alone. If for any reason you feel
unsafe when walking to your
car, both the university police of
SDSU and CSUSM have escort
services that are available 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
At CSUSM, the police can be
contacted 24 hours a day, seven
days a week on the silver phones
located throughout the campus,
at any of the emergency poles
located throughout the parking
lots and the track, or by dialing
direct 750-4567.

anger, increased health problems, may not be able to concentrate

A survivor’s attitude toward
his/her body may be negatively
affected. This change may lead
to self-abuse (e.g., alcohol abuse,
overeating, self-mutilation, etc.)
The survivor may find it diffi
cult to trust and to be intimate
with others. She/he may not want
sexual intimacy for some time
or may engage in risky sexual
behaviors.
Common Phases:
Survivors often go through
three general phases. (The phases
do not always occur in the order
listed below.)
Phase One: This phase may
last a few days to several weeks.
The survivor may experience
.shock and severe distress, con
fusion, disorientation, anger, and
rage.
Phase Two: The survivor
often wishes to forget the inci
dent and return to “normal.” It is
common to want to suppress feel
ings in order to forget about the
incident and regain control. How
ever, the crisis is not resolved.
Phase Three: The survivor
is ready to begin to deal with
the feelings associated with the
assault/abuse. This phase usually
involves re-experiencing feelings,
thoughts, and memories of the
assault/abuse. This healing pro
cess may vary in duration. *
Throughout all three phases,
survivors need supportive people
(friends, family, loved ones.) A
survivor support group and/or a
counselor can also be of help.
How to help a survivor of sexual
assault/abuse
—
“Sometimes I hear my voice
and ifs been here, silent all

*
Talk, listen, respect and be
emotionally available to the sur
vivor. Accept what the survivor
tells you. Accept the fact that the
assault/abuse happened. Under
stand that it is not the survivor’s
fault. Do not blame the survivor.
No one deserves to be sexually
assaulted or abused, even when
you feel poor judgments were
made by the survivor. Do not
blame yourself either. The only
person who is at fault is the person
who committed the crime.
Suggest options and actions
(medical, psychological and other
assistance), but let the survivor
decide what action to take. Let
the survivor talk about the inci
dent, but don’t force a discus
sion. Respect and understand that
temporarily the survivor may
become distant from loved ones.
Assure the survivor that you will
be available to provide support
throughout the process of recov
ery. Give the survivor time to
heal. Moderate your natural ten
dencies to become overprotective.
The survivor may need to
seek medical attention immedi
ately. You can help by encour
aging and accompanying the
survivor to obtain medical atten
tion. If the survivor wishes to
seek criminal action, this should
be done as soon as possible.

Sexual Assault Statistics
According to the victimization survey, 261,053 rapes and sexual
assaults occurred in the United States in 2001.
In 2001,17 percent of rape or sexual assault victims were victimized
by an intimate. Women were raped or sexually assaulted by an inti
mate more frequently than men (18 percent vs. 3 percent).
Police recorded 90,186 incidents of forcible rape in 2001. Of these
reports, 46.9 percent resulted in an arrest of at least one person.
Findings from a study of 3,006 women revealed that a rape victim Was
nine times more likely to receive timely medical care if she reported
die assault to the police Or other authorities. Three out of fow victims
in this study who reported the rape to police received medical care,
whereas only 15 percent of rape victims who did not report the crime
receivedpost-rape medical care.
It is estimated that only 10 percent of rapes are reported to the police.
Among college women, nine in 10 victims of rape and sexual assault
knew their offender. 13 percent of completed rapes, 35 percent of
attempted rapes, and*22.9 percent of threatened rapes happened during
a date.
Off-campus sexual victimization is much more common among col
lege women than on-campus victimization. Of victims of completed
rape, 33.7 percent were victimized on campus, and 66.3 percent offcampus.
In reported college-level assault cases, 75 percent of the male perpe
trators and 55 percent of the female victims report that alcohol was
involved at the time of the incident.
Less than 5 percentof completed or attempted rapes against college
women were reported to law enforcement. However, in two thirds of
the incidents, the victim did tell another person, usually a friend, not
family or school officials.

Pride Staff Writer
“You are a resource to every
woman you know,” said Officer
Mario Samz. head instructor of
the Rape Aggression Defense
(R.A.D.) program, in closing at
the last of the four three-hour
training classes for Basic Rape
Aggression Defense. One major
fear many women hold is that of
being raped. It’s a realistic fear,
since a national statistic holds
that one out of every four college
women will be sexually assaulted
during her four years i n college.
One way that colleges around the
world are trying to lower those
odds is through Basic R.A.D.
Basic R.A.D was designed
specifically for women, to show
them not only how to defend
themselves if they are attacked,
but also to show them how to
prevent being raped. In 12 hours,
a deceivingly short amount of
time, participants are able to learn
about how to become more aware
of surroundings, the do’s and
don’ts of surviving an attack, and
of course, defense techniques.
I recently graduated from
the Basic R.A.D. course here on
campus. During the beginning of
the course, Barbara Sainz, the
wife of Officer Sainz as well as
a certified instructor of R.A.D.,
asked us about our expectations
of the class to ensure that we were
being realistic. Many just wanted
to feel more secure as a woman,
be it because they worked odd
hours, lived in a shady neigh
borhood, or just wanted to be a
more confident and self-reliant
woman. At the end of the course
we reviewed what we had said
to see if we reached our goals,
and I must say that not only did
we succeeded at doing so, but
we went above and beyond our
expectations.
One thing stressed through
out the course was that no men
could be involved in our train
ing, with the exception of our
male instructors. We could not
practice with a male, and males
were unable to attend any of the
four sessions. “Unfortunately,
it is your boyfriend, husband or
even your friend that you might
one day have to defend yourself
against,” said Sainz.

The course was not only fun,
but truly effective. The tech
niques we were taught are func
tional and for the most part easy to
do. The key to the course is prac
tice - practicing the techniques as
well as practicing saying no. As
fun as it was, we were still able
to take away much more than any
of us expected. “We’re not sup
posed to be tough. It’s good to
know I can defend myself ... I
learned much more than I thought
I could,” said Jennifer Nowothy,
a senior at CSUSM. ‘Tm aware
of everything now,” said Tracey
Veres, a freshman at CSUSM.
The final class meeting is a
simulation. “You will be able to
practice everything you learn. If
you freeze this is the place to do
it, so we can coach you through it
and hopefully prevent you from
freezing if a situation were to
really occur,” said Sainz. During
the simulation, the two instruc
tors, Officer Mario Sainz and
Officer Marlin Estepa, as well
as retired Officer John Smithers,
an instructor of instructors of
R.A.D., all suited up and simu
lated attacking;us so we could
practice what we learned. Bar
bara Sainz and Geraldine Smith
ers, both certified instructors,
made sure that the scenarios were
safe and that we were using the
techniques practiced to our full
advantage.
At least half of the class was
so excited about their end results
that they want to be able to
teach women the art of R.A.D.
by becoming R.A.D. instructors.
These women also spoke of form
ing a club that would enable them
to continue practicing together
and promote the awareness of
sexual assault to other women on
campus. “We could post flyers
and have a booth like all the other
clubs ” said Carey Moya, junior
at CSUSM. “We could try to
hold sessions to educate people,
try to convince other women to
take R.A.D. and practice ” said
Nowothy.
R.A.D. is held at least three
times a year on the CSUSM
campus. “We try to hold as many
as possible, but space is limited,”
said Sainz. The fee to attend the
Basic R.A.D. course is only $20
and for this cost, any woman
at any age is able to attend as
many times as they’d like, with
no limitation on visits. During the
summer, an advanced course will
be offered, which enhances basic
skills and teaches participants
how to handle certain weapons.
According to Yvonne Muelman, an instructor at CSUSM
who took the course, “Previous
to R.A.D, I thought of myself
as a woman who carried herself
with confidence and could react
in a threatening situation. PostR.A.D., I know I carry myself
with confidence and can react
well in a threatening situation. It
confirms your ability to defend
yourself; and anyone who takes
it has the tools to never be a
victim.”
CSUSM’s ASI Attends Annual Conference in Sacramento
By JESSICA KRONE
Pride Staff Writer
CSUSM’s Associated Students, Inc.
(ASI) attended the California Higher Edu
cation Student Summit’s annual confer
ence the weekend of March 4 to lobby
against student tuition* fee increases and
to support the Facilities Bond Measure.
The forum, held this year in Sacramento,
was open to all California State Univer
sity (CSU) student representatives. The
attendees participated in leadership work
shops, listened to guest speakers and vis
ited with legislators who represent the San
Diego area.
ASI members were informed during
the conference that the budget deficit Cal
ifornia faces “will require many [educa
tional] programs across the state to be
cut and budgets to be reduced,” accord
ing to the California State Student Asso
ciation (CSSA) press release. During their
visits with members of several legislative
offices, ASI members strongly urged those
in power not to increase student fees.
“If tuition fees are increased, this will
decrease accessibility and affordability
for students,” said Jocelyn Brown, ASI
vice president of External Affairs, who
attended the conference.
. A similar situation occurred in the
early 1990s, during the last budget crisis,
and, according to the CSSA press release,
fees for the CSU “skyrocketed and many
students were forced to delay or cancel

their plans to attend a post-secondary
institution.”
“We’re afraid that can happen again,”
said Brown.
ASI created a letter-writing campaign
and sent each California senator a letter,
urging the protection of school budgets,
noting the adverse affect California stu
dents sustained in the early 1990s because
of budget cuts. According to the ASI
letter, “It is a known fact that a budget cut
of any percentage would jeopardize the
education of the CSU’s 380,000 currently
enrolled students.”
The tuition increase has not been pro
posed, nor is it known if and when it
will be. “If legislators are committed to
improving California, we can hope that
they would try to increase, not decrease,
education spending,” said Erik Roper, a
member of ASI’s External Affairs Com
mittee, who attended the conference.
The other issue ASI lobbied for was
the Higher Education Facilities Bond Mea
sure. This bond was proposed to provide
funds for the improvement of CSU cam
puses. This multi-year bond will “enable
the CSU to fund projects on a lump-sum
basis, which will allow campuses to map
out the planning, design and construction
phases of a project all at one time,” accord
ing to a CSSA press release.
“We can continue to grow if we
make higher education a priority, espe
cially with the current construction taking
place on campus,” Roper said.

�Faculty Member Goes H ollywood - Josephine
K eating Writes Screenplay D epicting Navajo Life
By SYBILLE HERWIG
Pride Staff Writer
Josephine Keating, professor
and student teacher advisor for the
College of Education at Cal State
San Marcos, has attracted Holly
wood producer Travis Clark with
her screenplay “Spider Woman”
- a story about the cultural rich
ness and mysteries of the Navajo
people in New Mexico. Keating
and Clark plan to shoot the movie
for the big screen this summer.
Along with her Navajo friend
Dolores Brown, Keating has been
working on “Spider Woman” for
a few years now. “For a long
time I’ve thought to do a story
about Navajo women, because
the women that I’ve worked with
in Thoreau (New Mexico) were
just so impressive.” Keating, who
has written many stage plays,
explained that the motivation for
writing a screenplay was based
on the simple fact that, ‘‘you
really can’t separate Navajo cul
ture from the land. They go
together really intimately.”
Growing up in a 100-percent
white suburb of Sacramento in the
1950s, Keating felt an early urge
to explore cultural diversity. Her
intense interest in Native Ameri
can culture emerged throughout
her three years of volunteer work
on an Indian mission in central
Washington. Not only did she find
passion for her work, but also for
her co-worker Jo Keating, an edu
cation teacher at CSUSM. Their
romance soon resulted in mar
riage, and together they decided
to change setting and follow
their friends to America’s big
gest Indian reservation in New
Mexico to teach at a Navajo High
School. For 22 years they lived
and worked on the reservation in
a little town named Thoreau.
The fictional story “Spider
Woman,” which is set in the same
New Mexican location in which
Keating used tp work and live,
is centered around three gener
ations of women in a Navajo
family, although, according to
Keating, “there are lots of guys
in it, too.” The main character
is a young woman in her twen
ties, who was adopted by a white
family when she was a baby, and
who later decides to go back to her
roots and find her Navajo family.
The storyline is reflected in the
title of the screenplay: “Spider
Woman.” According to Navajo
mythology, Keating explained,
there is a very powerful entity
called spider woman, who lives
on spider rock in Arizona. She is
part of the Navajo creation story,
in which she helps two lost broth
ers find their father. In Keating’s
screenplay, it is the young Navajo
woman who travels to Arizona in
order to approach spider women
for help to find her family.
Keating proudly explained,
“We’ve been dealing with a pro
fessional producer who agreed to
produce the movie a year and a
half ago. He saw the script and
really liked it.” Clark, whose tele
vision and film credits include
“A Man Called Hawk” and “The
Court-Martial of Jackie Robin
son,” has been inlhe business for
25 years. According to Keating,
he got tired of the whole orga
nizational structure of big-budget productions and decided to
go independent a few years ago.
“We were just lucky enough to
get our script to him at a point
where he was looking for proj
ects,” Keating said.
Clark promoted the script
among many friends in the media
business, all of who agreed to be
part of the project. At that point,
Keating realized that her dream
was about to become reality and
that she needed to start raising
some seed money. “In order to
attach people to a project and
do some other very basic preproduction and put together a
business plan, you need some
money!”
Friends, family, co-workers
and other teachers in the com
munity were the initial investors,
and so Keating was able to raise
an initial $ 80,000, which covered
the business plan and enabled her
to sign director Charles Mills and
a couple of actors.
For Mills, who has been a
cinematographer for many years
in the entertainment industry,
the screenplay “Spider Woman”
will be his first directing job.
Mills surely will be able to draw
from his big-budget studio expe
riences, like Beverly Hills Cop II
and the independent film Boyz in
the Hood, for which he received
awards for cinematography.
Keating said, “We haven’t
cast any of the Navajo parts yet
and, of course, that’s going to be
the vast majority. But we have
cast two of the supporting roles
that are non-Navajo.” One of
the more recognizable actors is
Richard Grieco, who did a lot
of television in the 80s, includ
ing the hit-series “Booker” and
“21 Jump Street.’’ Because of
his recent work in many indepen
dent movies, Grieco found fame
and fortune in Europe. Although
he is better known abroad than
in the States, Keating explained,
“One of the considerations we
look for in putting together the
business plan is to bring people
on board that, when we go to sell
the distribution rights for Europe
and Japan and so on, there are
names that those distributors rec
ognize.”
Another supporting role has
been given to actor David
Strathaim, who gained his work
ing experience in dozens of
movies and TV sedes, including
the film L.A. Confidential.
While Keating plans to begin
shooting in New Mexico this
summer, she and her production
team are still faced with a lot
of fundraising work in order to
cover the movie’s costs. Keating
explained, “the two things we are
working on are a distribution deal
and the financing. To actually
finish pre-production, shoot the
movie, do post-production and
some marketing, we figure the
budget for that is going to be $1.2
million.”
She also emphasized the
amazing location of the produc
tion location. “The area we are
going to shoot is just absolutely
magnificent. It’s gorgeous!”
Keating has confidence in
“Spider Woman’s” success on the
big screen: “We’ve got two name
actors signed and all the other
people in the business plan have
resumes as long as your arm.
They are just really experienced
people.”

By MIKE PARDINI
Pride Staff Writer
Want to get away for the
weekend but don’t have the cash
for Hawaii? Well, how about
Santa Barbara? I know what
you’re thinking. Santa Barbara.
Who wants to drive four hours
each way? Well you don’t have
to. You can take Amtrak for as
little as $15 each way, which is
relatively the same as gas, maybe
even cheaper.
Amtrak offers things that a
car doesn’t: reclining seats, pil
lows, AC/DC plug in outlets and
your choice of many alcoholic
beverages, as well as food. The
train is a great substitute for driv
ing to Santa Barbara for many
reasons. One particular reason
that jumps to my mind is LA
traffic on a Friday afternoon. Not
only LA traffic, but you also get
great coastal views the whole
way up, that may include views
of dolphins and, at this time O f
year, whales.
The best way to get started
on your weekend adventure is to
plan if you’re going to stay for
one or two nights. If you’re going
to stay two nights, definitely try
and leave as early as possible on
Friday. If not, leave early Sat
urday morning. Once yOu get
to Santa Barbara the possibilities
are endless.
If you like beaches, I suggest
that you get off on the Carpinteria exit and walk directly across
the street and go to Carpinteria
State Beach. If you choose to do
this, you will have about two to
three hours to kill, which can
be spent on the beach or walk
ing around the little downtown.
After that time, you can catch the
later train and continue on your
A
downtown mall, art galleries and
trendy clothing shops. If. that’s
not your scene, check out out a
matinee, that only costs $4.50,
in the plaza with your student
ID. Once your movie or windowshopping is over; the daylight will
turn into night, and this is when
the real fun starts.
Santa Barbara’s downtown
goes off on Friday and Saturday
nights. There are 18 bars and
five clubs on State Street. No
matter what your style, whether
you like to get dressed up or
not, State Street has something to
BREAK?
Santa Barbara has something for
everyone. My idea is to get out of
San Diego for the weekend and
enjoy everything that the Califor
nia Coast has to offer.
The trains leave Solana Beach
daily at four different times, any
where from 6:45 a.m. to 6:33 p.m.
Solana Beach is the only Amtrak
station in San Diego County that
lets you leave your car for free
for up to one week. All trains
I
k
e
take approximately five hours to
reach Santa Barbara.
For exact arrival and depar
ture times, call 1-800-USARAIL. For cheap motels and
hotels in Santa Barbara I suggest

The train lets you off right on
State Street, which is the main
street in downtown Santa Bar

State Street is 13 blocks long and
offers artsy coffeehouses, sushi
bars, dance clubs and lots of
fun. Once on State Street, you
have many options, including the

trendy clubs such as Joe’s Cafe,
Q’s, So Ho, Wildcat Lounge,
Madison’s and Roy. The more
upscale places have covers rang

pretty comparable to downtown
San Diego, and if you want to go
to the more trendy places you’re
going to have to dress like it.

�Surf Team ends First Regular Season
JOY WHITMAN
for The Pride
The Cal State San Marcos’
Surf team competed in its last
regular season event on Feb. 24
in Huntington Beach. Key surf
ers included Jeff Fairbanks, who
earned 15 points, George Demarino with 14 points and Ryan
McHenry, who earned 11 points.
The team placed seventh
overall with a total of 23 points.
Despite a lingering cold, Dema-
rino, the team’s bodyboarder,
won his first heat and also
claimed his first victory since his
return to competition. He per
formed well in following rounds
and advanced to finals, earning
third place overall in the College
Bodyboarding Division.
Fairbanks looked great in his
first two rounds of the longboard
competition and received two
consecutive first places. In round
three, Fairbanks just missed the
transfer spot and did not advance
to finals.
McHenry performed well for
the first two rounds but just
could not get any open waves to
help advance him to round three.
Despite the absence of Captain
Dave Kincannon, who has been
out for the past two competi
tions with a broken leg, and the
absence of Julie Russell, who had
prior commitments, the CSUSM
team placed 8th overall in the
regular season.

Saint Patrick’s Day entailed
drinking in more sun rays, waves
and wins than alcohol for the Cal
State San Marcos’ Surf Team.
The State Championships for the
NSSA College Team Season was
held on March 17 at Churches
Beach in San Clemente, located
just north of the San Onofre
power plant. It was .an exciting
competition between rivals Sad

seeds helped Saddleback clinch
the title.
Contributing to Saddleback’s
success, Coach Mark Mackleroy
replaced two members of his
team with exceptional standouts
who regularly compete for the
Pro Surfing Tour of America
(PSTA) between the regular and
postseason.
The first round was a little
intimidating for CSUSM, since
only seven of nine members were
available to compete, but the
team pulled through with the
talent of those who did compete
and placed 8th out of 18 teams,
which was good enough to qual
ify for nationals.
For CSUSM, Jeff Fairbanks
and Scott Chebagia each earned
12 points, but still missed advanc
ing from the third round into
the quarter finals. Bodyboarder
George Demarino and longboarder Dustin Franks gave ter
rific performances and advanced
to finals, placing third and fourth,
respectively.
The CSUSM team earned a
total of 48 points, which was not
far from the fifth-place finisher
UCSB Vector, who racked up 56
points overall.
After placing in the top 12
in the State Championship, the
surf team has earned a spot
in the Nationals, which will be
held over the summer in Dana

across the country compete for
the national title.
With the predicted return

Pride Staff Writer
Freshman Jason E. Williams
is proudly representing Cal State
San Marcos as one of the best
track and field hurdlers in the
nation. Williams has recently
competed in several meets, con
tending with some of the top
schools and competitors in the
country.
Williams placed third in the
400-meter intermediate hurdles
at the Trojan Invitational at USC,
with a time of 53.43 seconds.
This mark qualified him for the

insisted Williams.

placed first in both the Benny

Fullerton with a mark of 52.52
and at the San Diego State Uni
versity Aztec Invitational with a
52.97. In the California/Nevada
State Championship, Williams
finished with a 52.10 mark,
which placed him second.
Williams has been invited to
the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut,
which he is really looking for
ward to. “All the top colleges
and elite runners in the world
will be there,” said Williams.
Williams also faces the chal
lenge of improving his times,
because he does not always com
pete with high-level competitors.
At this point, CSUSM is not yet
well known for its athletics.
“The great thing about track
is that it doesn’t matter what

His coach Wes Williams (no
relation) has. been an inspiration
to him and is the major reason
why he transferred from Colo
rado State to run for the Cou
gars. He received a scholarship
at Colorado State, but for per
sonal reasons and because of the
cold weather, Williams decided
to come to San Marcos to be
trained by his new mentor, coach
Williams. His ultimate goal is
to at least make it to the Olym
pic trials in 2004. At the tender
age of 20, Williams is already

“Mrs. Clarke’s gift will make
a lasting difference in the lives
of many young student athletes,”
said Barbara Bashein, who serves
as CSUSM’s athletic director
and vice president for External
Affairs. “Her generosity will
enable them to earn college
degrees.” Nonetheless, there are
no plans for increasing the ath

plans for adding another inter

Bashein, in order for another
sport to be added, a donor must

“The team this year is a
lot stronger and we have more
sprinters this year,” said Assis
tant Coach Wes Williams Jr.
Returning sprinters includeAnthony Blacksher, Lucy Downey
and Amy Cutshaw. They are not
only returning, but have been
with the team since it started
~
three years ago. “They make the
team more like a team,” said Wil
liams.
The sprinters count with a
great athlete from the Colorado
State University, Jason Williams.
Williams, has already qualified
for the NAIA Championships.
“He is an outstanding athlete and
has a very promising future,”
said Wes Williams. In addition,
Autumn Wright has also had a
great performance and currently
has the best time on the West
Coast. She transferred from Palomar College.
Coaches often times have
great goals for their teams and
CSUSM is not an exception.
Coach Williams wants to have
15-17 sprinters qualified for the
NAIA Championship.
And
Coach Steve Scott wants the
same, along with at least four
All-American athletes. It is pos
sible, since the team boasts three

The Pride Literary Supplement
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Pride Literary Supplement (PLS), a publication of The Pride, is again seeking student writing representing
inquiry and research across all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM.
Since its inception, California State University at San Marcos has committed itself to the cultivation of student
writing. Across the disciplines, at every academic level, students are required to write and professors are asked to take
writing seriously. The student newspaper would like to publish expository, critical, and theoretical writing as much
as creative writing, poems, stories or film scripts. The PLS will consider manuscripts of up to 3000 words that both
exemplify excellent inquiry and research in their discipline (s) and that able readers from outside that discipline to read
with pleasure and understanding. Appropriate faculty judges the quality of research or creative writing. Accessibility
is determined by the editor(s) of The Pride or their designated representatives.

Submissions are currently being accepted for the upcoming Pride Literary Supplement. All forms of literary writ
ing —expository, critical, theoretical and creative writing —are encouraged.
Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical
terms are essential, they should be explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should be
parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate
academic discipline.
The PLS favors student writing and will privilege student manuscripts that are submitted with the recommendation
of a faculty member who has pursued research in the student’s field of study or published texts of a related kind. Staff
and faculty contributions will also be considered.
Photos or images (black and white preferred) of other artwork will also be accepted as an enhancement or as an
alternative to manuscripts. Please submit images and text using the following instructions.
For judging and layout purposes:
Submit a blind copy, with your name appearing only on a cover sheet and essay title, your mailing address, e-mail,
phone number, and major or graduate field of study to:
The Pride Mailbox
“Student and Residential Life” Office
Commons 207
Also* E-mail one electronic file attachment (MS Word) to pride@csusm.edu. Entries submitted without an elec
tronic copy will not be reviewed. An electronic copy on a PC-formatted disk will also be accepted. Manuscripts or
disks will not be returned.
Deadline for submissions: May 2,2001.

URGENT HEALTH NOTICE
TO ALL NON-MANAGEMENT CSUSM EMPLOYEES
I was repeatedly denied health benefits while on disability leave, extending into retire
ment. This was immoral and possibly illegal. *
I urge each of you to contact your benefits administrator and request, no, DEMAND, a
sworn, notarized statement stating that your benefits will not be denied while off work for
any reason. Do not be fooled by anybody saying, “ We are here to help you.”
My health was bad during these denials, is poor now, and is unknown for the future.
It is very depressing not being able to see a doctor and/or psychiatrist and/or to get
medications when desperately needed.
If you are contemplating litigation against CSUSM for any reason, I will volunteer, for
free, as an expert witness, concerning my relationship with CSUSM from 8/20/92 to
present.
REMEMBER: Your health and the health of your loved ones may be in jeopardy. Please
contact your union rep as well.
WHAT IF?
If you are a female non-management employee or a male employee with a spouse or
otherwise, what would happen if you were denied medical benefits, as was done to me?
If pregnant, this could result in a miscarriage, stillbirth, or with a newborn who is
critically ill, a premature death. Either way, in my personal opinion, this would be
IMMORAL MANSLAUGHTER!!!!
I re-urge each of you to get a sworn, notarized statement from your benefits administrator,
co-signed by President Gonzales, specifying that your benefits will not be denied while
on leave.
Again, I will be glad to appear as a volunteer, free (redundancy intended), expert witness
concerning my personal experiences from 11/90, 8/92, 9/01, to the present.
have also paid out an estimated $2500 in dental bills because of denial of dental benefits.
I consider this ad and the one above to be my moral obligation. One can deny the truth,
but the truth cannot be denied!

Arts program at CSUSM and the
efforts of the late Don Fuentes,
who is remembered for his work
early on in CSUSM's history.

Today, Professor Salah
Moukhlis will be giving an
informative lecture, followed by
a question and answer session,
on the world of Islam. The lecture will begin at noon in Commons 206, and is scheduled to
run until 1:15. Dr. Moukhlis
intends to spend approximately
15 to 20 minutes discussing the
historical context of Islamic
culture and it's relationship
with the west; afterwards he
will host a question and answer
session in which he will field
questions and attempt to present
an accurate image of Islam based
on his experiences.
Dr. Moukhlis is in a unique
position to promote cultural
awareness having spent much
of his life in the predominantly
Muslim country of Morocco,
where he earned his B.A. degree
in English. Dr. Moukhlis went
on to study in England where
he attained his Masters degree
in British Literature, and then
Comparative Literature in New
York where he earned his Ph.D.

New Systems and Where Our Old Computers Go To Die
By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN
Lead Editor
New shipments containing a
total of 664 new Dell computers
and 164 new Apple computers
might have been seen by anyone
on campus over this past summer.
The new Science Hall (Science
II) was recently equipped with
180 new Dell computers, and 100
new Apple computers have been
installed in the Arts Building.
According to Bill Ward, directqr of Telecommunications and
Network Operations at Caí State
San Marcos, "The system adds
were divided up by department
except for one general student
lab [stocked with PC's] that IITS
manages in Science II. (The new
Science Hall] has several new
labs for computer science, math,
physics, [and] biology.". Bill
Craig, (we need his title here),
was unavailable for comment as
to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the
new labs. The remainder of the
shipments was used to refresh
the current systems on campus
and to replace some of the older
model computers in Academic
Hall, Craven Hall, and Science I.
The older systems that were
replaced by the new shipments
have been retired and returned
to the campus materials management for storage. One of three

occasionally holds a surplus auction, the last of which was last
Saturday, September 7. Otherwise, computers can be donated
to elementary and/or high
schools or campus departments

Old computer systems can
also be donated to any school
that wants them. Ward said, "If
a school wants a donation of systems, they can [submit a] request

closing another sale at the
Cal State San Marcos Fourth
Annual Surplus Property
Auction on Saturday. The
preview for the auction
started at 9:30 a.m. and the
actual selling began at 11
a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event
where items were sold on an
"as is, where is," basis. The
auction took place at the
v
For sale at the auction were
computers, desks, chairs, TVs,
VCRs, and a lot more. Over all,
there were 400 items for sale.
At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold
for almost $180.00 reported Cal
State student, Ben Arnold but
he said, "Later, I saw people
walk away with computers for
as little as $20. There were a
lot of great deals. We bought a
desk chair for $30."
Robert Aguilar, another
auctioneer, commented that
the auction had a great turn
out. "We had 100 lot sheets,
listing the items available for
sale, ready for the people, and
ran out of them right away. I
believe a lot of people have
walked away very happy. This
is different from what I usually
do. I usually do car auctions. I
am here to help Emilio conduct
the auction and this is more
fun." He also added jokingly,
"Yes, it's true... if you scratch
your eye at thé wrong time, you
might wind up buying something!"
The auction, conducted by
Abamex Auction Company,
was very successful. The
cashier replied, "I am too busy
to know how much money has
been taken in, but everything
seems to be selling."

It May Not Look Different, but
the Dome has Gotten Better
By JENNIFER ACEE
Pride Staff Writer
Although basically hidden
to customers, many changes
to the campus food court, the
Dome, took place over the
summer.
As Aztec Shops employee
Debbie Curtchianti said,
"Most of [the renovation that
took place] was behind the
scenes/'
This included an expansion
that enabled renovation and
upgrades. Asignificantamount
of space added to the kitchen
area, as well as advancements
in the technological equipment
systems used by the food
services, makes for a better
experience for customers.
While things appear
basically the same as they
did last spring in the Dome's
cafeteria and convenience
store, in spite of appearances,
customers may be pleasantly
surprised.
in the mornings and stored
for the day's sales. However,
now meals are cooked in small
quantities throughout the day.
Consequently, as Curtchianti
promised, the food served in
the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's
Pizza and Subs, and the House
of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order.
Along with the positive
changes, prices on some items
have been raised, but only
slightly - $0.25 at the most.
Curtchianti says this is to
accommodate ' for "increasing
minimum wage rates" and any
other increases in production
costs.
The Dome staff now claims
that customers can enjoy
fresher meals at what are still
considered descent prices,
and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good
things are yet to come to the
CSUSM Dome.
The selection of food items
offered in the Dome has not
changed or expanded greatly,
but cooking methods have.
Prior to the renovations, the
food was cooked first thing

According to her campus

she denied further comment.
Baker said, "I was the only
full time sociologist here until
Bob Roberts joined me in 1992,
but we had a number of terrific
adjunct faculty who joined us
early on so that by the time Bob
Roberts came on board, we were
teaching about 15 Sociology
classes each term."
In the spring of 1992, CSUSM
awarded thefirstof its Sociology
degrees to 13 students. By 1995,
CSUSM had developed its "innovative master's degree program:
Master of,Arts in Sociological
Practice (MASP)," according to
Baker. She said, "This program,

to Ph.D. programs."
In 1989, Dr. Baker came to
San Marcos to help with the
planning of the new University.
She designed and launched the
Sociology program in the fall of
1990, according to her homepage. Baker said, "I have many
memories of CSUSM in its earliest days. I was very active in faculty governance at both CSUSM
and the Statewide Academic
Senate in the earliest years."
Baker said that she is "very
pleased to have been a part of
[the effort to provide students of
all backgrounds the access to a
Sociology degree]." She added,
"Joining the effort to found

Sociology program at this university, has given me a chance to

Cal State San Marcos men's
and women's cross country
teams traveled to Mammoth
Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude
training session from -Aug. 24
through the 31 of this year.
The reason behind this type of
training was to increase the lung
capacity of the runners. In doing
so, they increased their stamina
making it easier for them to
gompete at lower altitudes. "The
thin air and less oxygen forces
the body to produce more red
blood cells, which increases the
oxygen in your blood," senior
Brian Sullivan explained.
th
st
The course length that the
women's team, runs for each
event is five kilometers and the
distance for the men's team, is
eight kilometers. With half of
the women's team, and nearly
half of the men's team being
returning runners, there is no
reason for Cougars fans to think
that this year will be anything
out of the ordinary for this
exemplary program.
Returning runners for the
women's team include seniors
Lanele Cox and Camille
Wilborn; and juniors Katherine
Niblett and Felisha Mariscal;
and sophomores Samantha
Delagardelle and Manal Yamout.
New to the team include, junior

He tried out for the cross country team at St. Augustine High

that mixing state and non-state
money isn't done, "you keep
those pots of money separate".
Apparently the college of
business and extended studies
developed the hybrid in order for
the university to be able to offer
a competitive MBA program,
as competition for graduate
students in MBA programs has
increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet.
And while some students have
expressed their concern that
the program problems might
devalue their degree, Gonzalez
has assured both students and
the business community that
"the quality of the program was
not affected." Since May 2002,
the MBA program is running on
state money only.
Gonzalez explained that those
involved in starting up the MBA
program, one of whom was Dr.
Bill Stacy who was president of
the university at the time, were
"entrepreneurial" and "creative"
and focused on trying to get an
MBA program established. The
report claims that the program
problems were worsened by the
high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10
years, the college of business
has sustained a loss of "at least
10 faculty members", and there
have also been eight permanent
and acting deans.
President Gonzalez assured
the media during a press conference in July, that "there was
not any fraud involved" and the
procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office
report did not name names and
Gonzalez has suggested that the
people who may responsible are
no longer with the university.
Former program director George
Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused
on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez.
and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to
determine if the problems in the
program were caused by "errors
in judgment" or if anything
illegal or unethical was done
and by whom. The committee
was expected to present their
recommendations and findings
to Gonzalez within 60 days.
The following CSUSM staff and
faculty members make up the
committee: Chair Marion Reid,
Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G.
H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam
Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and
Rich Vanderhoff.

�W alking: Is It R eally So H ard?
By KURT B.MAYER
Pride Staff Writer
Why is it so hard for everyone
to walk around campus? It is
true that there is a parking situation underway at this university,
and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main
entryway is lined with cars from
end to end. In this congested
state it would seem logical to
simply park wherever there was
the least amount of confusion
and the most available space,
even if it was a further walk.
Yet this does not seem to be
the case..
Like many students, I myself
have fallen prey to the "vultures"
which scavenge our parking
lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being
stalked is quite clear when it
happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you
are being watched. You slowly
turn your head and see a blue
Honda civic trailing you, pacing
you. You can try to dodge the
scavenger by cutting through
Indeed, the campus has
needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating
parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply
and run rampant through our
parking lots.
Perhaps the funding is
simply not yet present for
a five, level garage. Yet the
campus still decides not to
blacktop one of the neaiby
vacant fields, if only for an
immediate-term solution.
I have paid my $62 dollars for

game and avoid the vultures, I

ASI and its Rules
Recently, ASI asked one of the
student representatives elected
last spring to resign.
Evidently, she did not attend
a "mandatory" ASI retreat over
the summer because of family
obligations that required her to
leave California.
I understand the reason for the
retreat was to provide the new
officers with information they
will need as student representatives.
I believe, however, the ASI is
not acting in the student body's
best interest when it adheres to
average, I find it takes less time
to hike the distance than to hunt
for a parking space. Despite
-this simple reasoning, as I hike
up Craven Road I see countless
others foolishly wandering into
the vultures' lair, and I shake my
head in bewilderment.
Once again, I ask you: why
is it so hard to walk? Walking
is good exercise! In addition to
doing two hundred repetitions
on the- built-in California State
University Stair Master, the
extra twenty to forty pounds of
books each student carries offers
a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your
heart and lungs! Plus, we have
more time to talk on our cellular
phones and bask in the warm
September sun.

car is really parked, but the
scavenger will quickly circle
around the bend and be there,
waiting for you. Only when

common sense when conducting
business.
Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student
in question received more votes
than any other candidate did. If
she resigns, her post will remain
vacant until it can befilledby an
appointee.
In other words, someone who
did not run for office can replace
someone elected by the students,
although neither attended the
retreat. Where is the logic in that
kind of thinking?

of Twin Oaks Valley Road. I
then proceed to hike up the
And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made
the rules, then our elected leaders
can certainly make exceptions.
If the school is making the
retreat mandatory, then I believe
a serious conflict of interest may
be occurring.
Try to follow
my logic on
this point.

If the school foots the bill
for the retreat, that would place
the administration in a position
of paying our student government leaders to act in a certain
manner. The ASI would then
lose its autonomy to
the university that
places restrictions
on who can run for a

My friend, Nicole and I are both
fit blondes and don't have any
problems picking up on guys
if it is necessary, but actually
it has never come to that. Even
though it is 2002, girls still like
it when guys make the first
move.
Now that doesn't mean
using some lame pick-up
line on the girl sitting next
to you in class, college girls
are too smart to fall for that.
Since the guys at CSU
i are also very intelligent
why not use your brains
to strike up an interesting
conversation.
Though the idea of a party
always appeals to me, in fact
love to throw them. But
every time I do throw a party
it requires some investing for
drinks and appetizers and if you
invite people that you don't know
then you have to make sure that
there is someone big enough to
throw anyone out who causes a
fight.
Plus you have to make sure
that no valuables are left out in
case a thief happens to get word
of the party, and we haven't even

gotten to the idea of thé police
coming.
Because even though I like to
give mankind the benefit of the
doubt that these things won't
happen I would be ignorant
to believe that the possibility
isn't out there. Anyone who has
thrown more than one party of
100 people or more knows what
I am talking about.
Now don't jump to conclusions
here, I am not against anything
that
Eric said I am here to give
suggestions from a single girl's
perspective. In fact I would like
this to continue on to a weekly
column. But it doesn't have to be
for just single people. I think that
the whole school could use some
help on getting to know each
other better.
For those 21 and up, there are
great clubs that host 'college
night' in which anyone with a
student ID gets a discount on
drinks. For those under 21, we
could have a weekly posting of
the best movies out and plan a
CSU night starting at a local
restaurant and ending at the
theatre.
Yet the best way to meet people
from CSU is at the cafeteria,
even though I have never formed
a relationship with anyone there,
In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was
a girl from Greenpeace, who
didn't even go to college. She
didn't 'pick-up' on me because
I'm really only attracted to men.
But she did something that
most people at CSU rarely
attempt; she sat at my empty
table and started up a conversation.
Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet
her friends at á club downtown
that weekend She even wrote
down the directions and time
they were going. If a guy were
to make the same effort I would
have been even more willing to
go. Yet there are two key things
that guys should remember when
taking such an approach,
First, it is good to find a
common interest and keep a
conversation going for a little
while, or wait until after you
have met up with the girl more
than once before asking her out.
Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at
least given the option to bring
a friend. So ask her and her
friends to meet up with you and
your friends! Anyhow the first
step begins with you; yes you,
whoever you are. If you want to
meet more people you have to
approach them with some wit
or topic of conversation beyond,
"hey babe, you want to go to a
party with me". Believe it or not
most of us girls have heard that
line before,

�Cal State San Marcos Student Missing
By MARTHA SARABIA
Lead Editor
CSUSM student, Alex Ryan
Zíngaro, has been missing since
Sept. 4fromhis Carlsbad home.
His roommate was the last one to
see him last Wed. at 10:00 a.m.
at their apartment.
A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder,
Zíngaro was scheduled to attend
CSUSM classes on Wed. but
never showed up. In addition,
he never went to work at Tony
Roma's restaurant in San Marcos
to what would have been his
second day on the job.
Before disappearing, Zingaro
called his employer to let him
know that he would be late
because he needed to come to
CSUSM. He said that he needed
to make some arrangements for
a class. "He called and said he
was going to crash a class and
he was running late," said one of
Zingaro's co-workers.
Although Zingaro has not
been seen since last Wednesday,
his belongings, which include
schoolbooks, clothes, and his
surfboard, are still in his apartment.
Both of his parents have said
that he is not the kind of person
to disappear without calling and
that he kept in close touch with
them as well as with his younger
brother. However, the police
do not think there is anything
unusual about his disappearance,
other than that he has turned up
missing. There is no suspicion of
foul play.
starting classes. His father has
said that there has not been any
activity in his bank account
since he disappeared. Family
andfriendshave also said that
he is a responsible person and
has not been known to use drugs.
They have also handed out many
flyers about Zingaro's disappearance to the community.
The police are asking those
who have information regarding
Zangaro and/or his car whereZingaro is 22 years old, 5

Students, faculty and staff trying to
access University Hall from the main stairway have had t a decide whether avoiding
a fence is better than avoiding a puddle
since the beginning of this semester.
As part of a new plan to alleviate flooding in front of University Hall and in
lower level classrooms when it rains,
Facility Services hired Good and Roberts
contracting to regrade and install a better
drainage system. The construction has
resulted in a large trench and fenced off
area in front of the building.
According to Assistant Director of
Facility Services Steve Waiters, the project began over the semester break and was
scheduled to have been completed before
classes resumed.
Waiters said that when it became apparPhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride

The Asian Pacific Student Society (APSS) held a donation drive which collected $96.86 to help victims of the recent devastating Indian Ocean tsunami.
The APSS was collecting money in front of the library all last week between 10
a.m. and 2 pm. All donations received are to be given to the International Relief
Team. Vice President of the APSS, Aamara Ysrael said that the amount donated
was a result of not being, "able to publicize, due to the last minute planning of
the event."

Thinking about those who have sacrificed their lives in the war in Iraq was
the goal of a memorial entitled "Arlington
West" held in the large lawn adjacent to
the Kellogg Library and Forum Plaza.
The CSUSM College Democrats along
with the Progressive Activist Network
(PAN) and off-campus organization Veterans for Peace staged the memorial on
Tuesday January 25.
According to the Vice President of the
College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what
originally started out as the efforts of
about four people grew as students from
the Women's Studies Student Association
(WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual
Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in
to help set up the event. Approximately
a dozen people ended up helping conduct
the memorial.

ent that the work wouldn't be finished
by the time classes started the fenced
off area was re-arranged to allow access
to the lower level classrooms as well as
the first floor elevator.
Student opinions about the trench
and fenced off area varied. Some didn't
seem to mind the inconvenience, while
others complained about the site.
"It's not really getting in my way,"
said student Clinton McCook.
"It makes me exercise, but it's better
than puddles," said student Coral
Bruni.
Expressing her displeasure, student
Kay Nguyen said the construction area,
"Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything."
Citing heavy rains in December and
January as the cause of the construction
delays, Waiters said that, weather permitting the work is expected to be completed, "within a couple of weeks."

"Newcomers" parties to welcome
new members, and a monthly
newsletter.
When asked to describe who
belongs to Mensa, Catherine
Barney, American Mensa Public
Relations Manager, said there is
no stereotypical Mensan.
"Mensans are as diverse a
group as you'll find anywhere.
We have members ranging in age
from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and
profession," said Barney. "Our
members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home
moms."
There are 52,000 American
Mensa members, and 100,000
worldwide Mensans.
Joining Mensa has gotten
somewhat more difficult in recent
years. Up until the mid-1990s, a
high score on most standardized

Statistically speaking there are
at least 140 students at CSUSM
who qualify as geniuses~at least
as far as their IQ is concerned.
If you're a campus smartypants—or think you might be~
there's a national organization
that wants you: American Mensa,
the High IQ Society.
Benefits of Mensa membership
include a monthly magazine,
opportunities to meet and mingle
with other brainiacs at Annual
Gatherings and Mind Games
tournaments, and the ability to
add the ultimate icebreaker to
your resume or grad school applications: "Mensa Member."
Joining American Mensa also
automatically qualifies you for
membership in a local chapter of your choice, like the San

�THE PRIDE
By JASON NICHOLS
P Ä Ombudsman
"Enjoyed the Letter to the
editor, but don't they have to
sign them?"
r
Sally Jo Divis tagged me with
this Q concerning last week's
issue» The best part was the
title of her email, "The Phantom
Writer."
We could use it for a movie.
A mysterious student sends
in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be.
As the campus becomes all
engrossed with the identity of
this 'masked' person, we see
the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18
and under: the ancestor to MS
Word.) We could film them
as a series, maybe stopping at
"Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery
of the Large Clock of Academic
H all" (hint, hint)
Well it'd be nice, but I gotta
kill my hypothetical by ending
the mystery. Our "Phantom
Writer" goes by the name Felipe
Zanartu.
The editing team
goofed and kinda sorta missed
the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name
had been c ut I usually take
their words under suspicion, but
I think we can chalk this one
up to an honest boo-boo. The
policy in bold on page two of
this puppy is still in force. The
Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering
that may have occurred as a
result of this incident
I would suggest a doctor to
take care of the matter, perhaps
one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the
News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick
skills and aid of Jason Encabo
had a pic of a binder with M.D.
on it next to an apple. I've been
informed that we readers were
to make the connection of Med
Doc and apple to translate into
an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate
offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that
program.
(Whisper Mode On: 'Yo
Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put
a stick on your tongue aren't the
only ones around. Those people
in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too.
Just thought you should know.)
Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a
doctor?" And above that Q was
a pic of a busted window with
yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another
connection we should make?
Hmmmm.
What I realty dug was that
Mr. Milo wrote in his article of
"Broken glass" that there were
"no suspects for the crime,"
then quotes Officer Hernandez
saying the broken glass likely
resulted from "horseplay" and
not "vandalism."
(Whisper mode on again: 'Yo
Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime.
Just thought you should know.)
Somewhere on campus a
person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em.
A.P.B.: The suspect is a college
student, between the ages of 18
and 25. Please contact the F.B.I.
if you've seen this person. The
suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr.
Schramm's article "When the
Johhny Carson
BY ALFRED CHU
For The Pride
Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's
Johnny!" is
a
signature
phrase
for
none
other
than the undisputed King of
Late Night talk
show, Johnny Carson, who passed
away on Sunday, January 23, 2005.
He died peacefully surrounded by
his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years.
On October 1, 1962, Carson was
introduced as the new host for the
"The Tonight Show" on the NBC
network. For the next three decades,
his monologues and jokes turned
him into an American icon as well
as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an
Emmy award seven times (1980,
1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991)
winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979
and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was
given the Lifetime Achievement
Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a
civilian. Not only being one of the
highest paid entertainers during his
time, at one point he generated 17
percent of NBC's profit.
Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show,
over the years, Carson developed
skits that added to the routine and
which fans expected to see. For
example, if the audience didn'tfinda
particular joke funny, Carson would
either have a microphone lowered to
him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing
while the band played "Tea for Two."
And of course, he ended every night
with a golf swing with an imaginary
club.
Through his own hardships, such
as three bitter divorces and his son
killed in a road accident, he has still
managed to keep others laughing.
Many well known comedians got
their start from his show. Comedians
such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres,
David Letterman, Steve Martin,
among others all credit Carson for
his generosity and expertise.
Robin Williams and Bette Midler
were his final guests. Midler sang
"One More For My Baby" which
caused Carson to shed a tear.
Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor
of Carson, the network went with
Leno.
On January 24, "The Tonight
Show" aired a tribute episode to
Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles
and Drew Carey expressed feelings
towards their mentor.
Dome won't do."
A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that
was more than compensation for
the misleading Doc illustration
he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my
personal favorite chow-down
spot, but I'll not advertise in this
column. (Sandcrab goodi)
And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student
body was already frequenting.
When you think about it, it'd be
like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race
Track. But we gotta break these
new writers in somehow, so bear
with the regurgitated themes for
now. We'll get better.
Of course, that also refers to
Zach Simon's subtle opinion
that books cost too damn much
(a revelation), Patrick Long
informing us that there exists a
gym in the Field House (another
revelation), and Brian Reichert's
emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul
(and those revelations just keep
coming).
Brian "had the opportunity to
study in Santiago de Chile" and
apparently liked it well enough
despite Felipe Zanartu's (the
Phantom Writer) observation
that "the USD in Chile has lost
22 percent of its value." And
like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become
a doctor?" we had Brian's travel
ad atop Felipe's dire currency
conversion rate. I'm tossin' my
hands up, I'm so confused...
I'm looking like the picture of
Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review
of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not
the looking like a hotty factor,
but we're sharing the same
expression that communicates a
sense of confusion. The one you
make when
barking spiders arrive
in a crowded
room
and
you just gotta
whiff.

now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the

A Regal dupe
BY YVONNE BRETT
Pride Staff Writer
Tuesday morning I woke up
early, eagerly anticipating the
announcement of this year's
Oscar nominees. Most of the
picks were quite predictable
and fortunately I had spent
the last couple of months
trying to catch a film here or
there so I could be ready to
root for my favorites on Oscar
night. I realized though, that
many of the top contenders
have never even played in
this area, so I signed on to
Sign On San Diego to try and
track them down. Much to my
dismay, I found out that if I
wanted to see "Being Julia,"
Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride
I would have to trek down to
Horton Plaza, and if I wanted
to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to
Poway or Temecula. "A Very
Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in
the Gaslamp.
I have to question why all
three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos
mostly play the same movies.
I remember that when the
Signature Theatre was built
in Escondido they promised
that they would reserve one
of the theatres to play "art"
films. Since the Regal whale
swallowed up the Signature,
it has merely become a clone
of the San Marcos Theatre.
Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out
of the mold and show something different, but no, they
offer the same homogenized
fare as the Regal.
It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have
to brave the 1-15 in order to
see a film that might be out
of the ordinary. The theatres
around town need to wake
up and realize that they need
to offer a wider variety and
acknowledge that people in
San Marcos deserve to see
these films on the big screen
and not be forced to wait until
they come out on DVD.

THE PRIDE
Into uncertainty
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
At the tender age of 18, some people
reading this would come to question my
ability to read the culture of my generation
and also the "experience" that I have in it.
But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize
things in a new light after these 18 years
on this planet. It seems to me that everyone
is trying to reach a goal - however these
people, me included, don't seem to have
the slightest idea of what that goal is.
Some of my friends are so set in their
ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they
will be making makes me question what I
really want. I have no clue of what I would
like to do in the future and I don't know
how I'm going to get there, it is just one of
the many wonders in life that I like to call
growing up. But these days my generation
has procured a certain inamiable sense of
life. Everyone just expects to procure this
vast quantity of wealth and a consump-

tion of knowledge in what seems to be an
instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so
confused about my life that I can't seem
to pull myself into one direction? Or could
it be that the countless masses in college
right now are thinking the same thing, and
are just to obscure and frightened to reveal
to themselves, that their assiduous effort
has gotten them absolutely nowhere.
These people are all around us and I say
welcome.. .welcome to what I have just
learned to be the first steps out of your
childhood realm where everything just fell
into place. Now I see that it is not me that
plans things, it is the actions of everyone
that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life
that can make the most dull person, such
as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

my life half of the time and it seems that

true then why am I making the final decisions, and my intuition and common sense
lead me to view the finale of my life.

fact that it may be tedious and tiring but
someday, just maybe we will find that
childhood again and cherish what is left of
it for the rest of our lives.

The other nominees in this category
were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for
"Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that
many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with
his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination
for Best Supporting Actress, will give the
hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide
in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in
the Best Actor category is the closest thing
this year's race has to a lock.
The Best Actress category will once
again come down to Swank vs. Bening.
In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat
veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's
Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh
off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet
again, but Bening's performance as an
actress looking to revamp her career in
"Being Julia" could hit closer to home for
Academy voters.
There are no clear frontrunners in either
of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide
to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas
Haden Church the statue, or "Closer"
newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe
winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the
Academy typically bestows the statue on
a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie
Portman's chances are good. However,
the Academy could decide to shake things
up this year, so don't count out Virginia
Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney
for "Kinsey."
The 77th Annual Academy Awards will
air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC.

�The "Hotel" you must check into
BY HEATHER HOFFMAN
Pride Staff Writer
Sometimes movies make you laugh,
sometimes they make you cry, but very
rarely do they open your eyes and force
you to look at the world differently. Hotel
Rwanda is a movie that will change your
life.
It takes place in Kigali the capital city of
Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story
of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi
that killed one million people in 100 days.
These two groups had a long history of
conflict which came to a climax in 1994,
when Hutu extremists attempted genocide
of the Tutsi people.
This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is
also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples
lives. It is an excellent record of a history
that is unknown to most.
Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo)
and their three children are the most
important thing in his life, and they're
Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the
Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to
protect his family from harm, making this
a wonderful story about love and family
as well.
When the President is assassinated, the
Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack-
Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM)
ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates
with them. As Tutsi are taken from their
homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family
and friends run to his house for protection,
he is the only Hutu they trust.
Paul's friends and family are taken by
the Hutu and are not murdered because
Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount
of money, which he has to get from the
Hotel Mille Collines where he works and
has access to a lot of money.
The hotel was safe and was protected
by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel
manager leaves, Paul is given control of the
entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends
away where they will be safe for a while.
When the foreign hotel guests are given a
military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left
with an unprotected hotel.
Paul uses connections he's made through
his job to keep the hotel and his family
safe. One of these connections is Colonel
Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very
useful to Paul and does what he can to keep
the hotel secure with limited resources.
However it is a constant struggle for Paul
to remain in control of the hotel and keep
his guests safe as more and more refugees
show up.
As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something
incredible that most people would not have
the courage to do. He is a hero and because^
of him 1268 lives were saved.
This movie is amazing. It reminds you
that even in the ugliest situations beautiful
things can come out of people. It is heart!
warming to know that one person can take
a stand and make a difference.
The struggle between the Hutu and
Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the
world. Anyone with a heart will watch
this film and ask themselves WHY? Why
wasn't anything done to help the situation?
Why was the attempted genocide of an
entire culture ignored by the world?
5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Back in the latter half of the
90s—a decade that tried to claim
immortality by refusing to take
a single title-under the roman-
Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video
tic dawn of new innovations in
film effects, there occurred a
brief, yet expectedly passionate
affair between America's futurist
action blockbuster and France's
surrealist romance, captured by
MTV and Vogue's self conscious
voyeur isms.
"The Fifth Element" has just
been re-released with two hours
of extras for the geeks' library/
shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version
for those who need new lotion
for the self-pleasure of a bigger
screen (guess which one I'm
holding.) Remembering that I'd
liked this pearl pill in the bed of
oyster phlegm, I wish now that
I'd been there in the theater and
there on the DVD team.
The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually
watched the whole thing when
I'd planned to do a recap before
diving into the extras. Not as
many professional actors with
amateur lines, but there are some
close calls, some action with too
much slapstick, some romance
with too much action, but it stands
out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a
future world must be remade as
well as expanded, and that an B+
prop still caries more emotion
than an A- digital image.
Switching off widescreen
would have shorthanded this
film, but omitting the option is
a bit underhanded, as was the
potentially more valuable 'fact
track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia
everyfiveseconds, then every 15,
then every minute, then every 15
minutes. It would seem someone
either didn't understand ration-
ing, or got lazy, as interesting
facts became more often replaced
by banal observations and yeahsayings.
The extras disc cleverly divides
its main features into the 'visual
element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the
typical photojournalism dropout
equipped with oyer-enthusiasm
and bad jokes. We learn that
the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero
a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing
opera is even harder as a reluctant alien.
Film tests might just seem a
way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects
of filmmaking could as easily
spoil the magic for some people
as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener-
ate interest for the moviegoer can
also counteract buyer's remorse
in the DVD addict.
Buy the movie, great for a
crowd of mixed tastes: violence
but little gore, randiness but little
vulgarity (there's two brief shots
of the heroine's breasts but they
got to keep the PG-13 rating,
which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.)
Rent the special edition to make
sure you find the info really gives
you a lasting illusion of being
closer to the professionals.

With so many careers out there
in a place academia calls the 'real
world,' students may find themselves stuck in a mindless rut
deciding which major to choose
from, let alone choosing a career.
Whether it's the passion, perseverance, or financial security that
drives college students to succeed
in their academic and professional
endeavors, the experience can be
a stressful and confusing one as
adventure beckons along the way.
Thanks to Student Life and Leadership, the Career Center and ASI,

Teddy bears have brought joy to children
since Teddy Roosevelt's time, and for 16
years they have been popular with the San
Diego Regional Law Enforcement. In 1993
a single officer from the Coronado Police
Department loaded his police car with 12
brand new teddy bears and drove to what
was known as Children's Hospital to deliver
the teddy bears to the sick and injured children.
Since then, the Children's Hospital has

year-long event which will end on December 12. Instead of one single officer, a caravan of 100 police vehicles filled with stuffed
animals travel to the Coronado Community
Center. From there, the teddy bears are
delivered to Rady Children's Hospital. As
tradition, the officers will walk inside the
hospital in full uniform with teddy bears in
hand, awaiting the smiling faces of children
as they hand out the bears.
Last year, CSUSM helped to donate 430
bears. A large sum of money was also
donated to the Campus Police which made

This Thanksgiving, ASI
is contributing to the community through their annual
Turkey Basket Drive in which
they have sought out students who will donate turkey
baskets for families in need.
Through Paloma Elementary
School and The Early Learning Center, ASI has contacted
16 families in need and on
Thanksgiving, these families
will enjoy a pleasant meal.
This year will mark the sixth
year ASI has taken part in the
Turkey Basket Drive. According to ASI's Student Coordinator of Activities, Sara Gallegos, "It gives the CSUSM
community a chance to give
back to the families in need
around the area," she says.
When ASI assigned each
student a family, they included
the age and gender make-up
of each family member. Each
student signed up is expected
to cover the cost of a turkey in
the form of a gift card, as well
as other non perishables that
would add to a nice Thanksgiving meal. On November 21,
ASI will collect the baskets
and deliver them to the Early
Learning Center where an

baskets to the families.

Women's Soccer 2006 Season Heview: A Terrific Turnaround
Sitting at 1-6 halfway through
the fall, the inaugural Cal State
San Marcos women's soccer team
appeared to be headed the same
direction that most 'expansion
teams' go in theirfirstseason.
Coach Ron Pulvers, who before
the season believed his squad
would be very competitive from
day one, saw them struggle to get
off the starting block. The Cougars were outscored 14-3 in those
first seven games, and clearly were
having trouble buying into the
system and playing together.
But with their backs against the
wall, the Cougar women refused
to fold. Seemingly from nowhere,
they started playing much better in
all phases of the game.
The first evidence of this came
in the eighth game of the season,
where the Cougars outplayed La
Sierra University but still found
themselves headed into overtime
with the game knotted at 2. While
the squad might have been discouraged by this earlier in the year, the
Cougars came together to get the
result they believed they deserved.
Off the overtime kickoff, Courtney Drummond, who had scored
the squad's first two goals of the
match, volleyed a pass from Kelly
Wherry into the net, putting an
official end to the Cougars' sluggish start to the season.
After "turning the corner" in that
game, the women would continue
to build momentum. They went 62-1 in their final nine games, finishing the year with a respectable
7-8-1 record; which, as Coach Pulvers points out, could have easily
been much better without some
late blown leads.
What was the turning point?
According to the players, it was not
a single event, but rather the collective realization that they could
indeed trust and rely on each other,
and that being a true "team" was
key to success. They began hanging out more outside of soccer,
genuinely enjoying each others'
.company and bonding with one
another. In the words of Drummond, "it all clicked" as this was
happening. Coach Pulvers wholeheartedly agrees:
"It took the girls a while to come
out of their shells and get along," he
says. "Midway through the season
they caught on. That's when we
started playing better."
2006 was indeed a tale of two
teams for Pulvers. As the squad
developed, early-season frustration was replaced with pride, as
well as optimism about the team's
potential for next year. Players
grew into their roles, leaders began
to emerge, and the team became a
lot of fun to watch. Indeed, the joy
of following the Cougars this year
was in watching a group of individual players come together as a
team.

Men's Soccer 2006 Season Review: Roaring past expectations
R u l fvlp TrAmKlpif
By Kyle Trembley
It's easy to look back on the
2006 men's soccer season and play
the "what if" game.
After all, while the squad was
a sparkling 12-3-1 on the year
and undeniably one of the best in
the region, when the time came
to announce the playoffs, the
Cougars were left on the outside
looking in. What if the team had
won in just once in those three
losses? What if they hadn't tied
Chapman College late in the
season? What if the playoffs
weren't structured in a way that
allotted a maximum of one slot
to independent teams?
But focusing on those questions
unfairly draws attention away from
the fact that it was truly an amazingfirstseason for men's soccer at
Cal State San Marcos.
Coach Ron Pulvers sums it up:
"If you would've made a deal
with me before the season saying
that we'd go 12-3-1 but miss the
playoffs, I would've taken it in a
second."
That's because going into the
year, nobody knew what to expect.
Aided by Assistant Coaches Bobby
Renneisen and Davy Phillips, Coach
Pulvers recruited a group of guys
- mostly freshmen - during last
spring, in the hopes that they'd come
together by the season's beginning.
But in training camp and preseason,
the squad's performance was decidedly underwhelming. They were
fast, yes, but didn't appear to be playing with enough passion or toughness to compete at a high level
Then, after a hard-fought road
loss at Cal Baptist in their first
game, the Cougars came home to
i.
participate in the f£ X
irst-ever i•ntercollegiate sporting event held at
Cal State San Marcos. On August
25th, the squad entered Mangrum
Field to take on heavily-favored
Cal Poly Pomona. An unexpectedly large and rowdy crowd of fans
came down from the University
Village to cheer on the Cougars,
and President Karen S. Haynes as
well as other key CSUSM figures
were in attendance.
What they saw was a Cougar
squad that came together in front
of their eyes. With the game tied
at l-l in thefinalminute, freshman
forward Michael Nuovo outran the
Pomona defense to a loose ball,
and tucked it under the keeper to
give the Cougars a very dramatic
first win in the program's history.
They'd never look back. Following the Pomona victory, the squad
rattled off six straight wins, outscoring their opponents by a total of
2l-l. Thefinalgame in that stretch
was a 1-0 win against Point Loma
Nazerene, a nationally-ranked
school in the NAIA. Though the
Cougars fell in overtime to Vanguard the following match, they
wonfiveof theirfinalseven games
to close out the season.
But the question remains: How did
the team gofrommoderate expectations (at best) right before the season
to a 12-3-1 record on the year?
Accoring to Coach Pulvers, it
was all about team chemistry.
"The season is a sprint, not a
marathon," says Pulvers. "Ï underestimated how quickly the guys
would get along. They genuinely
liked each other and bought in to
our system."
In trying to find the major cata-

his
look further than Ben Crouse. For
thefirstthree years of his collegiate
playing career, Crouse competed
at the University of Notre Dame,
starting on their defense for most
of his junior season. His arrival at
CSUSM gave the program instant
credibility; and more importantly,
gave the young squad a leader.
"Benny [Crouse] was the key,"
remarked Pulvers. "His experience and personality brought the
team together."
Crouse anchored the group both
on and off the field, and his vocal
leadership combined with his willingness to buy into the coaches'
system set the tone early for the
younger members of the squad.
Crouse, a senior, was appointed
captain early on by Coach Pulvers,
because (in Pulvers' words) "it was a
no-brainef." On the season, Crouse
recorded 5 goals and 2 assists, and
was named to the All-Region team
- no small feat, given that CSUSM
is not even in a conference.
While Crouse brought leadership and rock-solid play, it was
up to the freshmen to provide
the flare - and they delivered.
Forwards Michael Nuovo and
Curtis Marcikic drove opposing
defenses crazy with their speed
and creativity. Nuovo, whose
ability to weave through defenders produced some of the squad's
most impressive plays of the year,
finished second on the team with
9 goals. He also recorded the program'sfirst-everhat trick in a loss
to Santa Cruz. Marcikic, who
provided the attack with muchneeded size, tacked on 6 more
goals as well as 6 assists.

We usually associate November and December with Thanksgiving and Christmas, but those

mature, cocky older punk. Ortiz
has learned a lot since his loss
to Iceman and will come out
that night looking to take the Ice
Man's belt. Chuck Liddell has
been on a winning streak since
beating Randy Couture for the
belt over a year ago. This night
also has the tfeturn of the Pit bull
Andrei Arlovski, who is coming
off his loss to Tim Sylvia. The
ever popular Forrest Griffin will
be jumping back into the Octagon to take on Keith "The Dean

Website of the week:
BY JONATHAN THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Delicious.com or del.icio.us is
a part of the new era of websites
dubbed Web 2.0. Delicious.com
refers to itself as a "social bookmarking website."
Joshua Schachter created the
website in 2003. The website
started out as a way to share
online bookmarks with friends
and eventually grew into del.icio.
us.com Inc. in 2005. Also in 2005
Yahoo became a financial contributor to further the success of
the website.
r The website consists of bookmarks that are available to all
Users. Users can create personalized lists of their favorite links.
Other users can view and copy
lists from other users. The website also hosts a "what's hot"
category on the homepage for
always replenishing and refreshing lists of the latest hot links.

adopt more socially conservative
views than they did in the past.
"[The election] reminded me of
the World Series", said Bill Maher
on Larry King Live on November
9th. Maher continues, "The St.
Louis Cardinals didn't really win,
the Detroit Tigers lost... That's
sort of where the Democrats are.
Let's see if you can win an election against a party that hasn't disgraced itself so horribly iri every
single way a party could disgrace
itself." The Democratic Party did
not lose any incumbents in either
The website requires users
to create an account and install
two buttons on their internet tool
bar. These buttons allow for the
swiftness and ease of adding new
bookmarks to their lists. Users
then tag bookmarks by assigning
words that comprise the bookmark. For example, csusm.edu
could be assigned tags such as
Cougar, The Pride, San Marcos,
The Dome, etc.
Tim O'Riley is credited with
creating the phrase, "Web 2.0".
The term began when O'Riley
used Web 2.0 as the title for a
series of conferences held during
2004.
Web 2.0 generally refers to a
second generation of websites.
The new era for the internet consists of social networking sites
and communication tools. Web
2.0 focuses on the user of the
internet as the contributor of
information. Together users form
a type of informational network
that other users benefit from.
Web 2.0 seems to be a community on the internet.
Other examples of Web 2.0 are
wikipedia.com, myspace.com,
youtube.com, and amazon.com.
These sites all have one thing
in common: that users can contribute to the website, enriching,
the content that other users can
potentially benefit from.
Although Web 2.0 is the
common term used for the new
breed of websites, many people
and technological companies
are skeptical of the phrase for
numerous reasons. Some people
argue that by labeling these
new web sites 2.0 implies that
the new era is merely un update
version of original or common
websites such AOL 9.0 and AOL
10.0. They argue that Web 2.0
should be labeled entirely different.
Others have labeled Web 2.0
as a buzzword that has negative
the U.S. House of Representatives
or the Senate.
The election of a Democratic
majority prompted the resignation
of Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld. Editors of the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marine times
called for this resignation in a
November 4th editorial. This editorial stated that "Donald Rumsfeld m ust go. ..Rutiisfeld has lost
credibility with the uniformed
leadership, with the troops, with
Congress and with the public at
large... [Rumsfeld's] strategy,"
says the Army times, "has failed,
and his ability to lead is compro-
mised. And although the blame
for our failures in Iraq rests with
the secretary, it will be the troops
who bear its brunt." Some conservatives argue that Rumsfeld's
departure will do nothing to fix
the stalemate. "The issue isn't
Rumsfeld, it's Bush and the prosecution of this war," said conservative talk show host and former
San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock during an election night
interview. "

to replace Rumsfeld with Bob

effects. Some people accuse websites of labeling themselves 2.0 to
generate hype and in return produce more money. Others are also
accused of labeling their website

capital to induce a buyout from a

The combination of the new

�Letters to the Editor:
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Sports Writer
If you know
me, then you
know it isn't a
huge stretch for
me to cover things
other than sports.
Last Tuesday, I
covered the San
Diego General Elections for "The
Associated Press." It was the second
time I covered an election day, and this
time I learned a lot more than the first
time. I also had a lot more fun since I
got to cover it with my friend, Chantai Pasag, whose experience about the
night is also detailed.
I covered the Primary Élections in
June for the "AP" and it was a terrifying experience, because I was so concerned with not screwing up. This time
I had an idea of what was expected, so I
was able to learn a lot about the behind
the scenes type stuff involved with
elections. I had the opportunity to ven- *
ture into some rooms that many will
never see, and meet some very interesting people.
Around 2 AM, we were taken into
the wherehouse where all the ballots
and machines are taken from trucks
and transported down an assembly
line of people, eventually leading to
the tabulation room. I felt like I was
miniaturized, placed into some sort of
a machine, witnessing gears operate
and function like nothing I had seen
before.
I met David Morten when I covered
the Primaries. I am not quite sure what
his official title is, but he is good at his
job. He passed the time with us past
3AM. He made the wee hours of the
morning much more enjoyable as he
provided someone to crack jokes with.
I have never been comfortable around
police officers or sheriffs, so you can
imagine my discomfort when we spent
most of the night around five sheriffs.
I think they could see my discomfort,
but by the end of the night we were all
buddies.
The security at the registrar of voter's building is quite intense. Even the
lowest people in the bureaucracy question who you are, which led to me getting in some arguments, as you can
imagine me with my "don't take crap"
personality.
Chantal and I have been members of
the media for some time now, but this
provided an opportunity to meet some
new people in our profession. I met
Sasha Foo from KUSI, a co-worker of
Chantal's, who was very nice. I also
met Carlo Cecchetto from KFMB
News eight, who is a fellow Lakers fan,
and had a lot of advice to offer about
the T.V. media business.
Since voting is a right and responsibility that people often times take for
granted, it was great to feel like an
important part of the process.

BY CHANTAL PASAG
Special to The Pride
I have to admit I was "riding the high
horse" this past Election Day as I had
the privilege to work for one of the most
prominent news sources in the nation,
"The Associated Press." That night, the
polls were about to close, and the line
was still around the building. Unfortunately, for some last minute voters,
they were cut off from trying to perform their civic duty. The way that some
people react under stress is the way a
voting machine reacts when being tampered with... they go ballistic. Under
the pressures of voting, one woman proclaimed that "voting is not a right, it's a
responsibility!" Recalling what she said
post Election Day provoked the thought
of the media's responsibility to report
the number of voting machine glitches
county wide, statewide, and nation wide.
Fortunatelyrthe resignation of Donald
Rumsfeld and the democratic take over
of the house and senate saturated headlines. Of course it should, because that's
huge! But what about the glitches?
Apparently there were some problems at
a polling location of a CSUSM professor.
She says her husband got to vote twice
because of technical difficulties with
the machines. The "San Diego Union
Tribune" reported on the matter saying
glitches were reported in dozens of precincts earlier that day. Apparently, voters
became frustrated as they were unable
to use computerized voting machines
and were "forced to use paper ballots
instead."
The role that I played election night, a
reporter for the AP San Diego division,
was pertinent to the entire election process. Just as the media, particularly television plays a pertinent role as an information outlet to our society. Most people
look for convenience when it comes to
information, but convenience lacks relevant information. So, not only is it our
civic responsibility to vote, but it's our
responsibility to seek out various news
sources rather than relying on one.
I've come down from my high horse
since that night. The entire experience
was very interesting. I got to converse
with sheriff investigators about taser
guns and I-pods, which was an unusual
mix of small talk. Also, some cronies
from my everyday job at KUSI stopped
by for their live shots at the registrar of
voter's office. I also had the chance to
briefly chat with Carlo Cecchetto from
KFMB channel eight.
It's a nice dose of reality to know
that most of the professionals I talked
with had a good sense of humor. For the
people in this industry, having a sense of
humor is what keeps them sane, as the
news can sometimes disconnect them
from human suffering. As former comedian Victor Borge said, "Laughter is the
shortest distance between two people."

�Beer of the Week
Lightning Kolsch
BY MARY FOLEY
Pride StaffWriter
BY AMANDA ANDREEN
Pride Staff Writer
I'm not really a drinker.
I'm past my kegger days,
and at restaurants when
everyone else orders a
beer, I order a pop. So
you could imagine my
surprise last week, when I tasted the Lightning
Kolsch and actually liked it. A beer!? That I like!
Lightning Kolsch doesn't leave that aftertaste in
your mouth that leads you to wonder, "Why am I
drinking this?" It tastes sweet, but not too sweet
like a frou-frou fruity mixed drink. Also, it's
locally brewed, so you'll be supporting the community! So if you're still searching for a beer
that you enjoy the taste of, Lightning Kolsch is a
great choice.
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride StaffWriter
Housed with authentic German-styled
brewing machinery, the beers Lightning
Brewery makes are tasty and cheerful.
Gearing up to celebrate their annual
'Lightning Fest'. at Churchills this Thursday, November 16, there will be plenty of
Lighting Kolsch to go around. Coming in at a low 4.6% alcohol
by volume, this beer is a delightful and sweet addition to any
meal; so good, I just couldn't get enough of the citrus-flavored
treat when I paired it with a scrumptious French dip. Designed
to be a lighter beer that consumers can enjoy one round after the
other, Lightning Kolsch will tantalize your taste buds and paint
a warm glow on your cheeks; that is after two or three pints of
course. I've tasted many a beer since turning 21, but this one
might just take the cake as the sweetest, most spectacular beer
I've ever4 had; heck, it's so sweet it could be a cake in itself.
Drink of the Week
B O N D M ARTINI
BY DAVID-BAUER
Pride StaffWriter
martini that was shaken rather than stirred
as a 'Bond martini'.
Martinis are traditionally made with
gin rather than vodka, and shaking vodka
is generally avoided. When vodka, or any
alcohol, is shaken it creates tiny air bubbles making it appear cloudy. These air
bubbles prevent the alcohol from reaching all of the taste buds when it's drunk.
Some vodka martini enthusiasts claim that
makes the Bond martini the perfect palate
cleanser. As Bond says in Casino Royale,
"I never have more than one drink before
dinner. But I do like that one to be large,
I confess that I'm
not a big beer fancier. I
much prefer sampling
from the vast array of
pleasures that make up
the cocktail cosmos.
Lightning Kolsch, however, has nudged the
door to a new realm of possibilities slightly
ajar. Brewed by local Lightning Brewery, the
Lightning Kolsch is a light, German-style beer
meant for easy drinking. Light-golden in hue,
this beer is low in alcohol but infinitely flavorful. The flavor, however, is a subtle one. The
sweet malt flavor, combined with the fruity,
floral aroma combine for a truly delightful
drinking experience.
From champagne to bourbon to Raki,
throughout Ian Fleming's novels, James
Bond tried a number of drinks. In Fleming's first novel "Casino Royale" though,
James Bond laid out the ingredients to
what would become his trademark drink:
a vodka martini—shaken not stirred.
Later in the same novel, Bond would name
his drink "The Vesper" after the sensuous Vesper Lynd. For decades afterwards
though, people would refer to any vodka
and very strong, and very cold, and very
well-made." And the drink is well made;
the exact ingredients are given in the
beginning of the novel, "a dry martini...
in a deep champagne goblet... three measures of Gordon's [gin], one of vodka, half
a measure of Kina Lillet [vermouth]. Shake
it very well until it's ice-cold, and then add
a large thin slice^of lemon-peel."
Set off by the sharp citrus of the lemon,
this martini is cool and refreshing and
cleanses the palate. "Bruising" the gin by
shaking it with ice, also adds additional
water to the mixture as the ice is broken
apart lightening
the taste. This
of course means
that the Bond
martini does not
have much personality in itself
and is not much
of a stand alone
beverage. As an

aperitif it does
quite well, however, unlike its namesake Vesper Lynd, it
lacks personality, complexity and body.

Secret Apollo, "Homemade

As bizarre as they are, I can't help but
love Secret Apollo. They are so inexplicable, and so weird that I found myself
laughing more than I found myself cursing their repetitious chorus lines and
crazy 18 tracks of noise on "Homemade

nothing more than an extended minute of
guitar distortion and others are minutes
full of sonic instrumental fusion. Secret

�Movie review:
BY SOPHIE BRINK
Pride Staff Writer
Daniel Craig's ears are too big for some James
Bond fans. They have expressed outrage over his
pale, blonde, blue-eyed visage. They've started webbased campaigns. They've even threatened to boycott. I say, go ahead. I do so hate an over-crowded
theater.
To be fair, however, I must admit my uncertainty
over the decision to cast Craig as the larger-than-life
super-agent. 1 have my favorite Bond, as Vm sure
most of you James Bond f ans do. How would this
newcomer stack up against my ideal 007?
With somewhat jaded anticipation I awaited his
debut. I've seen Bonds come and go. I'm used to
the routine. Yet, when Daniel Craig uttered his first
line as the famous spy, my cool composure started
to melt. There's a new Bond in town, thought 1, and
he's packing heat, all right.
As the first of Ian Fleming's novels, "Casino
Royale" seems the perfect vehicle for Craig's new
Bond. It introduces the hero just as he is attaining
"00" status. The audience witnesses his first two
kills and, perhaps more importantly, his reaction to
them.
A rugged; ruthless Bond, Craig takes up the challenge begun by Timothy Dalton to humanize a character that had become, under Roger Moore's watch,
a parody of itself to another level. With his electric
blue eyes, perpetual pout, and painfully athletic
approach to fight scenes, Craig's Bond seems the
right combination of charm and grit. His is a bloody
Bond, a fallible Bond, and, dare I say it, a vulnerable Bond.
After a mission goes horribly wrong, Bond
runs off to the Bahamas - to follow the trail
of a poker genius, a banker by the name of Le
M
Qj\SINO
ROYALE
C hiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) whose client list includes
infamous terrorist organizations. The stunning Eva
Green (who starred in Kingdom of Heaven with
Orlando Bloom) plays Vesper Lvnd, a British
Treasury official with a sharp mind and a ready w it
whose job is to provide and watch over Bond's
stake in a poker game the outcome of which may
bring terrorist operations crashing down.
Judi Dench reprises her role as M, the no-nonsense head of M16, whose presence onscreen
always adds a silvery highlight of pure class
and whose feelings towards Bond seem as complex as ever. If her role in "Casino Royale" has
a flaw, it is only that there is not enough of M in
the film.
Overall, "Casino Royale" is a delicate balance
between blood and wit, which in itself is not
Unusual; however, it is the gritty, engaging
manner in which this new Bond alternately
engages in fight scenes and delivers
cheeky one-liners that wins my
approval and hope that Daniel
Craig will return as James,
Bond in future films.
"Casino Royale"
will be in theaters
17 November.
